OK, I watched the wrestling between Cross and Kidd.




It was clearly misrepresented. It was not really a fight. Kidd took it overboard.




I actually thought that they squared up to each other. But that was not the case.

safarigirl:
Citing a work of fiction as something to say, "They were discriminated against by Igbos" is wild.

That's like saying because other Igbos mock Abakiliki Igbos, that's something to hold on to.

And Abakiliki Igbos have seen mega sheggae in the hands of other Igbos over the years.

Anyway, it is the Civil war that started all this beef primarily. Any other thing was not serious, because Igbo people used to discriminate other Igbos for one rubbish thing or the other, but it was never so serious.

Asaba people trace the beef from the civil war, and I know this because me sef na Asaba.

First of all, read my post very, very slowly, and very thoroughly.



Half of a Yellow Sun is a historical fiction. Some of the events may be real, but caricatured. For example, Major Madu was a caricature of a real Major in the Biafran army. The book is well researched and not entirely fiction.



Secondly, I didn't say that all Igbos hated all Deltan Igbos. I said Igbos in the picture with reference to Half of a Yellow Sun.





A lot was said in that chapter which is enough evidence of the fact that there had been tension between the Igbos and the Deltan Igbos before the Asaba Massacre.

UncannyGenius:
Why they deny is due to the Asaba Massacre that happened during the civil war. Well, that is cowardice. I don't care about them anyway.

It is not because of the Asaba Massacre. It was way before then.




Read Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun.





During one of their many flights, Odenigbo and Olanna had a brief encounter with an Asaba girl. The discrimination against the girl by other Igbos in the picture was not hidden.

IconicR:
You both are on the same level, she's not smart to be dating you.
A smart lady should always date someone above her so as to balance the equation

You and your stupid thoughts.



Na men I dey blame sha. Rich men should only date rich women. That is the only way Nigerian women can grow.




Once they know they have to hold cash themselves to land a big boy, they would stop broke shaming guys.

Ladyhippolyta88:
I know the Big Brother idea originated from George Orwell's novel what I didn't know was that it was a caricature of Stalin. I need to read more.
Thanks for the info and I am a big hater of communism and Stalin but I didn't know this, anyway I am not a very good novel reader anyway.
Oh thanks for this. I will research more on this.

Every Russian intellect felt the same.




Stalin used the secret police and mass surveillance to monitor people. Hence the slogan "Big Brother is Watching You" by George Orwell.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Does a villain even win in life self?
Many villains don't end well and have terrible legacies.
e.g Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon etc

I find it interesting that you mentioned Stalin in a Big Brother Naija thread.




Did you know that Big Brother in George Orwell's novel (1984) was a caricature of Stalin?




The whole idea of "Big Brother is watching you" came from that novel by George Orwell, published in 1948.




The novel seemed like a warning against adopting communism.




But unlike the original Big Brother, this Big Brother of ours is too petty. Why not allow Pere and the others play their villainous games. It is a dog eat dog world in Communist Russia under Big Brother Stalin. As long as the proles were allowed their freedom to scheme and get the better of one another, Stalin could reign long.




Everywhere you turned in Communist Russia, there was a picture of Stalin with the caption Big Brother is Watching You but he never interfered in the scheming of the proles.

Some people only remember you when they need money.



And many of them are always so foolish that they can't even pretend to at a least make it seem like they are saying hello. They just go straight to business, begging for money.




At least, pretend. Hold a lengthy conversation. Pretend to care, and then make your demands.




You can't just chat me up and beg for money straight off, especially for something that is not an emergency, as if sey you keep money for my hand.

DaisyMellow:
Just this night alone I've spotted 3 people with serious mental problems

Pere is a sociopathic fool and now I believe everything Venita said about him standing naked behind females in the bathroom. Dude is fuccked up in the head and has zero empathy or remorse.

Venita is a mental case and shouldn't even be allowed to raise little kids. Definitely losing some bolts in her head.

Soma is an abusive, obsessive partner and to be honest, potentially dangerous. He is the type to beat his wife or even kill her for flimsy reasons. Angel needs to stay away from that lunatic..

You are calling Soma a lunatic? That is a selected video. No one has the background story.




I don't support violence. But when women engage in it, society finds a way to normalize it. But if it is a man exhibiting it, society calls him a lunatic capable of killing.




There is no evidence that any of you would do better with their anger when confined to a space without attractive distractions like TVs, smartphones, laptops, etc.

Poor destitute!!!

Something I can feed together with all the members of its extended family.

Will never quote you to make you relevant but I know you'll find your sub and collect it .

Hopeless, useless, pathetic idiotic nicompoop

All these movies with their hilarious subtitles.




Which one is "Delights in evil"

Ihavethingstodo:
In as much as I don't like what happened to ilebaye, that girl is rude and disrespectful


Make we take true small.

Most of the Kogi girls I have met were rude and disrespectful. And I have met quite a lot of them.




I don't used to do tribe thing or stereotype until I met Kogi girls in Ilorin. Both women and girls were rude. There was only one that wasn't rude, and she was the exception. Just one out of like over 20 that I met in my over 10 years stay in Ilorin.

Freshtruth:
Why is NFF not considering Joechim loew or Roberto Mancini?

Can they afford any of Joachim Low or Mancini?

If you still dey follow pastor in this age and time, it mean say your mumu too much. You need to be delivered from mumuism.

Jewessgratitud3:
That is why you should never trust any man because they always never know what comes over them. Even reverends.
when it comes to sex, fear some men. They lose their senses fast and don't even bother to think of the consequences of their actions until they're done with it before they calm down and begin to think well again...

Na who opportunity never present itself to rape na him innocent and will still be condemning his fellow men. 90% of them are capable of this given the opportunity.

Trust no man with your infants baby girls.

May God help them.

Shut up, my friend!!!




Una too dey disrespect men for this country.




You forget your father is a man too.

You don't know because you are suffering from pedophilic disorder.



But you are going to jail because you defiled a child.

finallybusy:
The show will take a break and when it comes back, the housemates will go from joyously munching on selected food to dancing like the world is about to end. Nairalanders will still carry their fingers to type that it happened organically, like the production team didn't threaten anybody to satisfy the viewers. Una, sef.

This is officially the tallest set of housemates after Pepper Dem. Short Nairalanders will commit suicide if they join the housemates.

Cee C - 5'3+/5'4.

Mercy, Angel - 5'6.

Venita, Doyin, Ilebaye - 5'7.

TBaj - 5'9. WhiteM - 5'9+/5'10.

Kiddwaya - 5'11. Always wears thick soled shoes to appear 6'0/6'0.5.

Alex, Adekunle, Frodd, Seyi - 6'0.

Pere, Neo - 6'1.

Cross, Ike, Soma - 6'3.

Short Nairaland boys will type rubbish as replies. 5'0 boys.

Mercy cannot be 5'6. She is shorter than that. Mercy is short. She should be around 5'2 or 5'3.



Venita is shorter than 5'7.




Kidwaya should be around 5'9/5'10.




How can Cross and Ike be 2 whole inches taller than Pere and Neo?



Alex should be 5'10 or 5'11.

INSTANTCASH345:
First clear the debt then hire a good lawyer to do the job provided you got videos and photos to backup your claim.

Clear which debt?




First of all, they have no rights to use the police to beat his brother up. That is a criminal offense.



Second, they beat his brother up. That can be tabled as attempted murder, physical assault, and many other names under physical violence. Another crime.




Third, the petitioner should include all the financial losses they have incurred all the time that his brother was locked up and all the time that he was hospitalized.





It is the bank that should be paying him.

If in this time and age, you still think you need some fellows who call themselves men of God to guide you spiritually, then you need serious deliverance with koboko soaked in kerosene.

richie240:
Lolz.....u sit in d comfy of ur house hypothesizing.
Shey den tell u say d chosen minister of information can't do d job ni?

On Keyamo, haven't u heard of perm secs and special assistants before?

Take a sip of water.....chilled cold water.....and watch as events unfold.

In that case,why do we have ministers. Why not just have secretaries instead?




This list is a disappointment abeg.

frog12:
what seasoned lawyer?? as EFCC prosecutor, keyamo many corruption cases

Go and check the meaning of "seasoned"?

Altrarecords:
Let me rephrase

Mercy would feed his entire family and yours combined

Oh and if you think mercy still Depends on big brother for daily living you must be a joker

How much did she win? How much is her multiple houses worth?

Her garage alone is worth more than the 120 million prize

She has a successful clothing line amongst other side businesses she runs

This wealth can also be seen rubbing off on frodd who was following her around back in the day... They too are even business partners

About mercy going back to BB

Let me ask you a question, if you think you stand a good chance of winning 120 million without serious hard work while having fun and growing your fame and influence in the world of entertainment, would you jump at it?

I'm guessing your answer is yes so that right there is the reason why she went back not because she desperately needs it.. even angel is acting like winning isn't that big a deal, talkless of mercy who's far richer

I for example know multiple ways of increasing my millions and have been doing so to the point where I don't have to stress myself much and can feed MULTIPLE FAMILIES talkless of mercy

Oga rest

Una go just dey hype these yeyebrities.




Which successful clothing line does Mercy have? What is the name of the clothing line? How much does it rake in for her?

jeromestarks:
Shut up!
You can't do better. If you think you can do better than Tinubu, contest for Presidency or shut the fvck up!


Tinubu till 2031 and no obigot will stop him.

I supported Tinubu for president. It doesn't mean I have to shut my brain when he is messing up.



As a matter of fact, this is not the Tinubu I used to know.




This Cabinet of his will struggle to achieve much.





Dele Alake should be Minister of Information. He would bring his wealth of experience as a seasoned journalist to bear in that ministry. What does Alake know about Solid Minerals?





Same with Keyamo, a seasoned lawyer, to head Aviation?





For heaven's sake, we are not ready to move this country forward with all these mismatches.

Throwback:
Wale Edun's portfolio was a no-brainer.



What was Kema Chikwe's qualification?

Same for Prof. Babalola Aborishade, and Femi Fani-Kayode who were all Aviation Ministers during Obasanjo's 8yrs regime?

What was the relevant qualification of Stella Oduah who was Aviation Minister during the regime of Jonathan?

And what did they achieve?



We need someone who understands the world of aviation.

If this list is genuine, then I am disappointed.



Many square pegs in round holes.




What would Keyamo be doing in Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development?




What would Dele Alake do with Ministry of Solid Minerals?

Nothing concerns this one with anything not CeeC ...even if the house is burning, she go find Ceec from any corner she's hiding.

carammel:
Big brother is as objective as they come.
Pere mentioned that the other camp ganged against him and that was what made him lose, Bigbrother then asked what he was doing while others were plotting. He answered that he was also plotting with Neo.
All is fair..

MikeMicheal:
I thought sexing the king's wife comes with supernatural consequences

Mumu superstition.

They have been freed. The Queens can choose to either stay in the palace or leave.

This Queen Dami must like fame very much. She doesn't appear to care about anything else.



Just like DJ Cuppy who appears to have a thing for sportsmen.

Nhazeru:
He was called out for owning one million but he used one million to place a bet in betnaija and lost. He wasn't owning anyone even the useless Emeka that brought the accusations on twitter has been in hiding. police been looking for him all over Lagos

It takes someone that has excess to use that amount to place a bet. Do a simple twitter search come back and tell me if he bought house in banana island or not.

This is not always the case.




Look at that guy that stole 20 million from his company to place a bet with. His name was Eze or something like that.



I know of someone who used 1000k to win 950k. He then put the whole 950k back to place a bet which he then lost.




Some people even put their live savings on a bet.




There was a thread here on Nairaland where a Nairalander put close to a million naira on a virtual bet and lost.

COOL10:
Soma exercises regularly. In the See Gobe season, he exercised regularly with Kemen and Bassey. When he was picked as a BFF earlier this season, he made frequent use of the gym room upstairs. That's why I was surprised at what Frodd said.


Biggie needs to get him properly checked, even if it means regular daily appointments with a medical personnel in the diary room. All he may even need may be anti-depressants.

I agree. He needs medical examination.

Joeuwaifo:
I think that idea or ideology is completely wrong.
I got married in that same kind of room and I was about 15yrs ago.
We stayed in several diff one room.
But today I own about 6 flats and presently still have my own property I'm Lagos where I live.
If I choice to relocate tomorrow with my family abroad I will still buy a house.

It's not about the condition but what are u about to do I'm the condition.

It's not untill u stay in a 2 bedroom flat that u can get married.

It's a mentality with most Nigeria men and women. It's wrong.

To me it's better u start small.

Exactly. I started out like that too. In fact, my wife and I rocked that apartment when we were still dating. She would snap there and put on Facebook.



Now, we are completing our own house. Massive house. I made sure all the rooms are massive.




I guess there are not very many wise women like before. What many of them want now is an already made man.




Do they think that now that I am comfortable, I would go for one hungry girl, even if I were not married?




Never!




That is why my wife and I are inseparable. We started as friends and grew together in love and sacrifice.




I remembered when we would climb pole to change lines. We changed phases by unhooking our wire from a line without power and hooking it to a line with power. My wife learned how to do it and we had fun.




I am not saying every relationship must start like that, but no one should be despising humble beginnings. If you check many of these girls out, their parents may be living in conditions way below that of guys they broke shame.
