Buhari will not bother to discuss any real issue with them. No wonrder Obama is not so interested in meeting him again. Others are meeting incumbent world leaders, buhari is meeting ex-leaders. First Gordon Brown now Clinton. So unfit for leadership

Abeg tell them.
These ex-leaders also seek to continue to bolster their relevance and public profile. I would have expected side meetings with leaders of China, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, India and their accompanying business people. To bolster SMEs by those nationals in 9ja. To absorb teeming graduates gradually turning to crime, prostitution, thuggery, cultism and co.

But na lie o. Na veteran politicians I dey see.

Our people say the clothes that took you to the river, those you wash first.

But GMB left Boko Haram discourse and went to pose with white ex-leaders. In the West, ex-leaders have no clout.
Not like OBJ submitting ministers list to GMB.

Kpata kpata Bill Gates will offer congrats for near-eradication of polio in 9ja!

Those kind of demeaning do-gooder charitable work rich white boys like to discuss with Africans.

sukkot:
if you know the history of the land you will know that most nigerians relocated to what is called nigeria from the northeastern parts of africa ( israel and egypt area today ) as early as a couple thousand years ago after the ptolemy takeover of egypt and the roman takeover of the middle-east. although a few were there thousands of years before that. so in actuality the land belongs to no one. and secondly we are all the same people separated by colonial masters language. point being land belongs to no one. if they got the land from obasanjo ? then it was their cosmic destiny to get that land. its all spiritual.

Complete lie about Africans coming from wherever. No DNA evidence. That's 19th century eurocentric theory. The only anthropological and paleontological evidence puts man's origin clearly in Africa. Yes. There were migrations here and there. People have always been in the Niger-Congo basin. Migrations maximum from Sudan and Congo/Zaire area most likely but mixed with aboriginal people. Ptolemy taking over Egypt hardly changed Egypt demographically, just a new elite. The Romans also didn't drive away blacks from the middle East. Even black soldiers were part of Roman occupiers of Britain. Some becoming rich after service to afford elaborate tombstone. With African origin inscribed in them. The theory colonialists used to claim we didn't own the land in the first place is dead. Africans need to think Afresh.

sukkot:
he could have started a war with cameroon and millions died and for what ? a piece of land ?. he prevented that. the man has been in a civil war and does not want to go through it again, now a man ought to get a lil credit for that type of selfless action.

Nigeria has ceded land to Cameroon before. Legally.

Much of Anglophone Cameroon was ceded by Eastern Region & Nigerian Govt. After a referendum. Why did OBJ not do that in a democratic govt?

So Nigeria should now be pooing in its pants for fear of war with Cameroon?

Lexus should be on your list.

sukkot:
all you have done is provided reasons why all those lands were ceded, same way obasanjo had his own reasons too. cant you see ? there is always a reason for doing something

What reasons can he have that we the citizens do not have the right to know in a democracy?

Can he cede Owu/Ogun to Benin Republic?

His reason was selfish & unpatriotic.

He was playing statesman to foreigners to the detriment of Nigerian citizens.

sukkot:
1-israel has ceded lots of land to the palestinians
2-russia ceded georgia as a breakaway state
3-united states has ceded millions of acres of land in the midwest to china recently to cover their debt
4-france ceded new orleans to america

Lol. You know some history but still rather shallow.

(1) Since about 70AD when they Jews were scattered from Israel, they hardly owned any land in Palistine. Until 1948. The so-called ceded land belonged to either Palistinians or King of Jordan until the Arab-Israeli wars about 43 to 50 years ago. So they are using land that UN Resolutions 242 of 1967 and 446 of 1979 already state clearly that Israel should leave all occupied territories. So which land are they ceding? The one that doesn't belong to them in first place?

(2) Read the history of how Russian Czars occupied Georgia/Caucasus and even tried occupying Finland in the 1930s.

(3) You mean the purported ceded land in MW is now part of People's Republic of China? Please educate me on this.

(4). Having lived, studied and worked in France in the past, you can hardly tell me anything about this. Napoleon sold Lousiana, not just N. Orleans. Lousiana territory of then was about 828,000 square miles. Nearly as big as Nigeria! It stretched from N. Orleans to lower part of Alberta & Saskatchewan in Canada! The price was fifty million Francs and a debt of 18 million Francs cancelled too. All worth a total of about 15 million Dollars then. To fund his wars. History is taught thoroughly in France.

sukkot:
this obasanjo is some type of enigma. i dont know what makes this man tick. he is a statesman. knows how to schmooze the international crowd

True. When you are a green snake and know how to pander to those that control things to the detriment of ordinary citizens, you will be in their good books. E.g
Can you expect patriotic leaders in Israel, Russia, US, India, France and so on to cede national territory like OBJ ceded Bakassi? Never. Or expect an Hausa-Fulani to dupe a fellow Northerner like OBJ did Awo in 1979? No way. His so-called relevance has come at a cost to many people.

Hello

safarigirl:
your mother didn't have to worry about brazilian hair, your papa no send wetin she resemble unlike you all today. And you need not tell me bout dumb girls, I have to suffer their stewpidity cuz I'm in girl's hostel, but that doesn't mean a man should be dumb too, I've seen a guy that couldn't list all 6 geo-political zones, how do you explain that? I really can't speak on getting money from guys, even when I'm dead broke, I don't collect money from guys. A friend once gave me 5k when all I had was 10 naira and I didn't collect it cuz it goes against my principles and home training, paranoia says that if I take a guy's money, I'll be indebted to him and I refuse to put myself in such a situation. Maybe you should stop conversing with FB girls, I rarely visit that site. They're reading Daddy G.O books cuz guys will sooner marry the submissive robot than the assertive fire-cracker. I'm not a very religious person, and I certainly have no books by any Daddy G.0

Happy weekend.

We under-estimate the taste of older generations. Dad probably has a more sophisticated taste in women than me.
I like them simple, intelligent, educated, well-travelled/read, ambitious,independent, cultured, etc. I don't expect what I cannot offer.

My first concept of female beauty was mum plaiting her lovely full, dark long hair. Various nice styles.
I'm yet to see any 75k fake hair that accentuates a lady's beauty as mum's natural hair did.
I have written many times here on NL that I don't like fake hair. Last time just weeks ago.
I'm also not a fan of heavy make-up.

But when you say these things, you hear the following: you don't appreciate my efforts, is it because of money you're saying you don't like brazillian hair? Anything a man says now, is used against him.

Being dumb is not monopolised by women. But my assertion was in response to your saying many guys are dumb.
My dear, even the hardest gold diggers cannot drive me away from any social media I chose to use. Blocking is enough.

Anyhow, there are still like 10 to 15% of ladies who are virtuous, hardworking & principled. All hope is not lost.

You only need one good guy or girl to be happy ever after. Thank GOD.

you are talking of of marriage!
how?

Abeg follow me ask o.
A girl once told me she was a virgin. I nor ask am o.

With some pressure, we did it o. But na the regular express way I see dia o. Nothing like virgin.

Anyhow, since I wasn't after a virgin in the first place I didn't really care.
If non-virgin was the only matter, no sweat at all.

But the supposed virgin had used abortion to ruin her womb much earlier!

And that was a girl I wanted to marry. Wasted a couple of years with this girl o.
Luckily found out about ruined womb before marriage.
That was EOD sharply.

The lies and deceit still hurt a bit till today. Even though I have moved on. Because she deliberately deceived me. She was under no pressure to be a virgin. It was meant to prepare the way to deceive about her cause of infertility. Totally evil.

Virgin forming is one of the most common lies some girls peddle to obfuscate guys.
Never fall for it.

That's what they did to GEJ to steal power, do you think God will allow you go scot free?
No, he will make u eat ur own flesh and drink ur own blood.

And pls don't use this as an excuse to tell us you couldn't defeat Boko Haram in 3 months as Buhari said.

Nor mind them jor.

When GEJ said it, they used bigotry to lambast him. No peace for the wicked.

I actually thought he died from the gun shot. Anyway, it is good he is still alive and breathing. The man sure is young...36 year old multi millionaire. And what's with all the kidnapping stories everywhere these days?

It is simply that we now finally have to admit the kidnap epidemic at hand. Before now, it was made a tribal thing with finger pointing and bigotry. It is now basically nationwide and has been for years. Only prominent people we normally hear of. Even drivers and housemaids are now in it. God save us.

hmmmm

I disagree.

@OP, tell your bestie the truth. If she believes, good. If she doesn't, also good. Depending on her posture/reaction, keep her as a friend or totally avoid her after that. Otherwise, he might drug and rape her sister-in-law or other relatives. If you come out then, you'd be a bad friend.

Tell your friend you don't want her her to dump him, but just letting her know the truth.
If it was an electronic air ticket, you might still have it in your email. Show her.

Assuming it's not all superstory o.

safarigirl:
of course they're suffering from poverty. Poverty isn't restricted to finances. Some have poverty mentality, if you go about thinking every girl wants you for your money, even when you barely have it, then you should check yourself. Guys keep asking girls what they bring to the table aside sex, but we want to know, what else do guys bring to the table apart from money? Cuz I've met many dull-brained guys and intelligence is a criteria for me. If you're all about money, you'll attract girls who are all about money

Wow. Most girls always wanting money is also guys' fault. Hmmmm
We date or dated the girls and we know our experience. You are still talking about barely having money which is still derisive. The girl that constantly wants money has no poverty mentality but the guy who's wary of materialistic girls has poverty mentality. Ok. KONTINEW. Well a guy who barely has money has to invest and build up a comfortable future. A "chop & quench" girl is hardly the ideal companion to achieve that.

Our mothers and fathers built their homes together. And most dads are very grateful for it. Over 90% of 9ja female friends on Facebook have asked for money. Usually just out of the blue. Either for fees, new phone, rent. Just name it. Of course I just block the persistent ones off.

Let me tell you what a guy can bring to the table. Companionship, friendship, love, moral support etc. But obviously you don't think those have any use. Weird too that girls monetise sex. As though only the guy enjoys it. That for me is prostitution in all but name. Having said that, some of us guys almost immediately decided to marry a girl who proved different. So we're all not talking from a point of despair and frustration. But such girls have become very few my dear, very few indeed.

As for dull brain, I don't know where you find them. Luckily I have spent a great deal of my life studying and working with top 1% of smartest people in their society. But I have seen well dressed 9ja women. Graduates, in social occasion who know no foreign language, no idea of great masters of art or classical music, rock music, literature, politics, history, science, medical science, arts. Just about nothing except books of Daddy G.O. So don't even go there about dull brain.

I once asked a 9ja girl simple questions in pharmacology and she took offence. A 300L pharmacology student. Later admitting she doesn't know the answer.

safarigirl:
nobody is laughing at poor people. The issue here is that most are with a twisted mentality that anyone who isn't poor is rich and vice versa. There are many who are in-between. I don't know why this is an issue because I re-iterate that most guys are interested in gold-diggers. The shinier the better for them, so we who don't look shiny; no fake lashes, no drawn brows, no fake hair and all that never get guys who are interested. So, such discussions are personal for me. You guys say one thing online and another in reality

Lol. Nigeria has a small middle class. Most or 70% have less than 1 dollar a day to live on, so the "in-betweeners" are few. In j9a setting we mostly have the haves and have-nots. Maybe you are not laughing but certainly dismissing guys with a different view here as suffering from poverty.

GudluckIBB:
A man who is prepared to be a president (Buhari) is different from the man who became a president accidentally (Jonathan).

When he was a Deputy Governor, his Boss had issues and he became the Governor

........Then he became the vice president,His Boss died and was sworn in as the president.

.................Jonathan was Never prepapred!

Then GEJ did well. Despite eternal preparation, no cabinet after 100 days. An irony.

safarigirl:
The only reason this OP has just 11 Likes is because it's not a woman-bashing topic that will make under-achieving guys feel good about themselves. @OP, broke guys dey wait make one rich guy marry their sister come dash them business capital wey dem no gats pay back

Safarigirl,

The number of rich men in Nigeria is fairly low. Not more than 25%.

NLers may not actually be as poor as you may think. Many might be in world top 10% by assets/wealth.

No, no one claims to be Dangote. You only need about $67k dollars to be in top 10%. Many here are car dealers, builders, famers, bankers, business people etc.
Even a few inherited rusted roof houses here and there can catapult you into top 10.

So not all are talking out of poverty. But addressing a major issue.

Be it reality or perception. Because it actually affects how many guys view women.

Any woman can be so tagged rightly or wrongly.

And laughing at people for being poor kind of affirms that allergy to poor people that this thread partly addresses.

Most rich people today were once poor or average.

[/And ladies, keep searching for "made men" ehn. To one made man, there are 150 interested babes. HE'LL BE A FOOL NOT TO MESS AROUND! After suffering he'll now settle with one woman? RUBBISH! Which one is love? Did you love him when he had nothing? ABEG SHARRAP DER!!![/quote]

Well, OP does not get it really. Nobody is against anyone marrying rich. But it should NOT become the over-riding criterion.
But as it is now, though many ladies would pretend otherwise, wealth is by far the most important factor for them. A meal ticket/easy way out of poverty.
Yes, some may later cheat with a handsome guy at work and even fall in love with him. While married to a rich man.

You will hear things like: na love I go chop?

Every rich/comfortable guy knows that he's a hot cake to many ladies. Some make full use of that status.

DrObum:
RIP to the men that lost their lives.

But the story is incomplete though.

Was the money stolen from a bank?

If yes, who said that the particular money stolen was for the local government?

If no, do local governments still pay in cash? To warrant moving that amount of liquid cash around

OP, oyaaaa over to you!

You know in 9ja, corruption will not make us do the right thing.

Why would local government staff not have salary accounts and just wait for alert?
Considering the incessant bank robberies in that area, should LG leadership not have known the danger?

But ghost workers would be much easier to include if paying cash.
Not saying that's exactly what happened but it looks silly to me.

Imagine Sallah without money for LG staff now.
RIP to the dead.

Long awaited response

That church isn't ready to evangelize yet. Tut if you wanted to catch a monkey you behave like one...

If the suspension subsists let the pastor take pasuman along and form a new church..

There shall be no loss

I wonder o.

Korede Bello and others are already doing it.

Church wants crowd, and the crowd like Pasuma. So na gain-gain formula.
The church of today is basically secular. The Ogundipe guy is just an honest guy.
In 9ja, hypocrisy is too much.
