MrRichmond:
Will he be where he is today without the influence and money of his father?

I doubt it...

Respect is for those who truly earned it with their sweat and blood not trust fund babies

You are just being biased.

Without his father's money, would Davido too be where he is today? Abi no be the same Davido wey no sabi compose songs?

It is not Seyi's fault that he was born into a wealthy home. The man is also a serial entrepreneur and his name has always been mentioned in the circles of the rich in Nigeria way before many of you commoners knew him. I am sure you have listened to songs like "Yeye Boyfriend" by Zlatan and "Human Beings " by 9ice where Seyi was hailed.

She can never make a good wife, very obviously.

The signs are always there.

1. Hot-temper.

2. Over-possessiveness

3. Lack of restraints. She can't overlook anything. Always fighting one person or the other over flimsy things.

I am sure she has accepted that it would be hard for any man to tolerate her, but she doesn't want to have children with different men. She wants her children to have just one father.

Codes151:
so we just go about releasing killers?

You don't know how the pardon works.

First degree murder convicts hardly get pardon just like that. The highest they usually get is the commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment.

You can be sure that many of the prisoners who get state pardons are those who committed non-violent crimes or whose violent crimes were not premeditated, even if they were intentional, like voluntary manslaughter.

No state governor will pardon a murder convict without discretion or without having received a clemency plea from the convict.

SmartPolician:
The president can send bills to the national assembly demanding that the senate be scrapped at the end of his administration. It will get accelerated hearing because it's from the presidency. But that man is not there to work for the interest of Nigérians. Years ago, Senegal scrapped their senate to save their country money.

That is what you should have written.

Our bicameral legislature (two-house legislative system) is a product of the Constitution and so, technically, only the NASS can alter it.


The president does not have the power to scrap it.


WHAT CAN THE PRESIDENT DO THEN?

1. Send a bill to alter that part of the Constitution to the NASS.

2. Entertain a referendum where the people themselves vote for whether they want this bicameralism or they would rather have unicameralism. But the problem with a referendum is that it is not clear whether the Constitution provides room for a referendum in Nigeria.


WHAT CAN THE NASS DO?

The NASS is the law-making arm of the Federal Government. They make our laws, but with assent from the President which they can override with a two-third majority.

To abolish the Senate, a bill to amend the Constitution needs to either originate from the NASS or the Executive or even a private citizen (through the NASS.)

The bill needs to go through all the law-making stages and if it gets through, it needed to be assented to by the President to become law. The NASS can, however, pass it into law without the assent of the president with a two-third majority vote.

Another way for the NASS to abolish the Senate is to repel the decree of Abdulsalami Abubakar which created the 1999 Constitution. To do this, the NASS needs a two-third majority vote.


But the big question is: "Will Senate vote for itself to be scrapped?


The only way I see the Senate being scrapped is through the people. And it can only be achieved in either of two ways:


1. Referendum (which does not explicitly exist in our Constitution)

2. A revolution.

SmartPolician:
Who has noticed that the House of Reps is more useful than the senate? Bola Tinubu should grow some balls and scrap the senate. That house is utterly useless and adds no value to this country.

Tinubu cannot scrap the Senate. He doesn't have the power.

Ironically, only the NASS can amend the Constitution to scrap the Senate.

Domainer1999:
Seems you don't know who they're talking about, she is f*ckingly rich! She is the wife of Late. Alhaji Sulaimon Achimugu, the first man to died from Covid 19 convictions in Nigeria who used to be one of the NNPC Cabal.

What does this mean?

If 21 men are sleeping with your wife, but you can't mention their names, then you are not serious.

All you have are allegations. If you have incontrovertible evidence, you won't be afraid to call names.

APOPTOSIS:
BUHARI never writes books. Always hates anything education.
See his mates dishing out books, left, right and center.
Can't be see around enlightened people.
Nigerians and Judiciary will always yearn for such persons

IBB did not write that book himself. Many of these big men hire ghostwriters.

The only Nigerian politician right now who writes his own books is Obasanjo.


The politicians of old like Awolowo, Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa and others were erudite men who could actually write.


Tafawa Balewa even wrote a storybook.


But the crops of politicians/leaders that took over from them are just mere politicians, not academics or erudite scholars.


Anyone who thinks IBB wrote that book himself is very naive.

Vinnie2000:
The Man has Charm and Charisma.

Of all President and Head of states we have had in Nigeria,
He is the most LIKED.

Maybe bcus he was Handsome, Fair complexion and has a Great Dress Sense.

As for Buhari, How come he is HARDLY invited to Events,
by even his Friends and Associates who packaged him as a god in 2015?

He has no charm and charisma.

He is just a typical politician.

In his book, Soyinka described him as a snake.

For example, Soyinka, JP Clark and Chinua Achebe met Babangida in Dodan Barracks on behalf of Mamman Vatsa.


IBB was (in his "Maradona" style) very accommodating, promising the writers that he would do something about it.


Before Soyinka got to Ibadan, Maradona had executed Vatsa.

Soyinka described the three generals (Obasanjo, Buhari and IBB.)


He said he used to believe Obasanjo was the most deceptive man ever until he met IBB.


IBB could be smiling with you while holding a knife to your neck.


Buhari and Abacha are not liked because they are brutally straightforward. If they don't like you, you will know. Little wonder that Buhari likes Abacha. Both men had the same personality. They are not pretenders. They are not politicians.


But IBB can hate you and still be making you feel comfortable, until he executes you.

Carndidlaydid:
Smh



He should avoid sex workers or avoid cheating on his fiancee?

And your third point is totally out of place....

Imagine if his fiancée was your sister

I stated what could easily be a fact.


Even married women got bleeped in camp during my service year. At least, I knew of two. One was a Muslim, always covered from head to foot, and yet she collected. I knew the guy servicing her, then. They were even living couple's life.


The other one served at the same school with me. We didn't know she was married until we were parting after service year. She told the guy point-blank that they would not be seeing ever again because she was married.

That was cold from the father-in-law.


It wouldn't take long before they would start complaining themselves. It is easy to judge a man for complaining about too much financial responsibilities. You will only understand when you take up that same responsibilities too.


When my brother and his wife split, the wife's family first denied him access to the children for a while, but when the financial burden became unbearable, they reestablished contact with him and started asking him to contribute towards the upkeep of his children.

GreyApple:
I'll get myself tested, and I'll get stronger antibiotics, tho I'm not feeling anything and nothing happened to the CD that whole time, but my mind is not at rest, I won't want to pass anything to my fiancee, I hate hurting her

1. Avoid Olosho.

2. Antibiotics are not stuff that you just pop now and then. They are a regimen. Once you start one, you must finish the whole sachet or pack, depending on the prescription.

3.Your fiancee might be receiving dick in camp too.

kettykin:
This is not true. There was a deliberate policy nit to allow medicine san frontiers or red cross access , even after shipment has been checked and confirmed by independent bodies.

but that aside, what special military feat did the Nigerian military achieve during the civil war

Starvation as a weapon of war was allowed at the time of the War.


But you think starving or blocking medicines to civilians has ever been allowed in a war?



Ojukwu rejected food corridors because he said he feared the Nigerians could poison the foods. But we know the Nigerians would never have had the audacity to poison foods meant for civilians without sanctioning.


Ojukwu did use propaganda to great effect, but it was not enough.

kettykin:
Again I ask , what exactly could the Nigerian military do in the battle field against the Biafran military aside the blockade and starvation policy against women and children. I have an account of how all the military operations of the Nigerian military ended in the worst human disaster and human carnage except for thr operation tailwind that the Biafran Effiong surrendered

Effiong’s surrender wasn't a triumph of Nigerian military might; it was the result of a humanitarian catastrophe orchestrated by a force that found true victory only in starving defenseless civilians.

The Federal Government starved the rebels, not civilians.


It was Ojukwu that frustrated every humanitarian service to Biafra. He wanted to use the pictures of starving children to score a cheap political goal.

kettykin:
No soldier, dead or alive, could ever attempt what Ojukwu did and walk away unscathed.

Imagine this: daring to confront a Nigerian force backed by the Soviet Union, Britain, East Germany, Egypt, Sudan, the Arab world, Cameroon, Niger Republic, Chad Republic, and the OAU.

Not even Gaddafi, with all his bravado, dared to take on the Western powers head-on. And look at Zelensky today—backed by NATO and the United States—yet he hasn’t managed to turn the tide of battle.

If Biafra had been armed to the teeth, Nigeria would have been relegated to the annals of history.

The audacity of Ojukwu’s defiance remains unmatched, a brutal reminder of what could have been.

Audacity?


No, it was ignorance and foolishness.


Ignorance in the sense that he felt the Federal Government would simply allow him secede without confrontation.


Foolishness because he felt he could go to war against the Federal Government and come out victorious.



In fact, it was said that his game plan was to drag the war for as long as he could in the hope that the Federal Government would get tired and just let him go with his Biafra.



How could he have imagined that the Federal Government would allow him secede with all those oil-rich lands if he was not plain stupid?



Rashness or thoughtlessness is not audacity. He learnt his lessons the hard way.



The only unfortunate thing is that none of his loved ones perished due to his lack of foresight. His children or cousins were not among the millions of children who starved to death.



It is this same stupidity that I have noticed in many Igbos.


They confuse their recklessness for bravery.



The legendary Chinua Achebe wrote: "We often stand in the compound of a coward to point at the ruins where a brave man used to live."

Sunnyrado:
Hello everyone, pls if you have received free items on TEMU can you please put me through step by step, I don't even mind giving out of from what I ordered.

I know someone who received about three free items.


But he had to buy goods worth almost 200k to get those free gifts.

WondaBeauty:
And i can't see anywhere in my post where i said anything about him acting other parts.

I just gave my reason why i liked him irrespective of whatever part he acts.

You wrote that he was always calm in tough times.


That sounded like a one-dimensional actor.

WondaBeauty:
The one thing I just love about this man in his movies is his calmness even in tough times.

He must have been a terrible actor if he couldn't act other roles.


An actor should be able to act any character.

Carndidlaydid:
dead question... you and i both know the answer to that except you just wana be in denial

I don't know the answer.



The only answer I know is that they got it from women.


Some of them got it from their cheating girlfriends or from random girls on the street who look neat but are loaded with infections of different kinds.

Carndidlaydid:
so you mean men roaming the street dont have infections or what?
and please dont tell me those men with infections got it from the so called BANNIES


yall are so quick to blame em BANNIES

So, they got it from their fellow men abi?

Orinechi:
I don't understand this idea of a lady opening her mouth to suck a man's prick. What is wrong with this generation? Any lady who does that is cursed and any marriage where that is practiced is cursed as well. You may doubt it but in the next 20yrs, you will understand.

Who are you to curse people?


Show me one Bible or Quran verse that says we must only have one style of sex?


Or one verse that says that people who practice MouthAction are cursed.

tnerro1:
Thank goodness, can’t leave those things alone 😋

😁

lwisee:
This is clearly a bad sign.
It shows God is not in support of most of his decisions.

Pope you are working for the Devil and not for God

How can you say it is clearly a bad sign?


Have you forgotten that he is only human. He is not above accidents.



When you or your neighbour fall down, do you read signs to it? Why then do you read signs because it happened to the Pope?



The Pope is a human being like you. He eats, sleeps, talks, laughs, uses the toilet, and can suffer a mishap like every human being.

tnerro1:
Can you get any sti/stds from sucking breasts 😋

No.

omochelsea004:
Hi guys, I have been thinking within me & I am really curious about this subject matter, can a man contract STD/STI or any form of infections by receiving mouth action (BJ) raw? Irrespective of the status of the lady involved, I am not talking about giving girls, I am talking about receiving from girls

A person can get STDs/STIs from any form of unprotected sex.


STIs like HSV, gonorrhea, Chlamydia, syphilis and some other ones can be transmitted through saliva.



So, a man can get infected by these STIs if he receives mouth action from an actively infected person.



But the good news is that many of these STIs are not that strong and would go away by themselves or if treated using antibiotics.



However, STIs like syphilis and gonorrhea don't go away. They must be treated, otherwise, they can be debilitating.



Untreated syphilis, for example, can cause insanity.

Vintage94:
I kissed and had sex and now I have red bumps on my tongue and my tongue is whitish as well. My penis is paining me and the cap looks different. The painful part is I have been celibate my entire life.

I have done HIV test and it is not HIV. I also did a urine test and they said I had staphylococcus aureus which I treated.

PS: I didn't indulge in MouthAction.

Please help. I am dieing. I am so afraid 😭😭😭

When did you have this sex?


Because it can take days to weeks for HIV to be detectable.



Antigen tests may return a negative result even if you have HIV already, especially if you have test earlier than 18 days after exposure.

PresidObi:
He is heartless, we warned people before.

Heartless?


No.


If Nigeria must work, we need a man who must be ready to have a plan and follow it through, no matter.

PresidObi:
The federal government has failed woefully in securing Nigeria. They now use the expensive aircrafts they bought with federal resources to bomb innocent Nigerians more than the terrorists.

For those that will come and blame the people of the north for supporting crime because they know the bandits and the bandits live among them, God will judge you.

If they don't bomb, you say they are pampering the terrorists, if they bomb, you say they are doing ethnic cleansing.



One thing I like about Tinubu is that he doesn't give a damn. He doesn't even seem to care about reelection. He is doing what he feels is right.



People like GEJ or Peter Obi would have been apologizing profusely to their followers.

Kobojunkie:
1. You mean Nigerians many of whom grow up to become agberos and touts — even the ones who join the army, police, and guards equally act as bullies are better than the kids in foreign countries who majorly turn out to be more responsible citizens of their various countries?

2. So, do you actually believe Nigeria's crime rate is low compared to foreign countries? Are you convinced that crime in Africa does not come anything close to that obtained in foreign countries where even Nigerians would rather run off to — braving the deadly deserts and seas— than remain in Nigeria? WOW!!

3. You say that as though they loved or considered you all as humans to begin with. We are talking here of people who considered you inhumane, to begin with. They beat you and so therefore you must now use that inhumane approach in raising your kids, is that it?

4. So, because Kuti and Soyinka were hit like animals when they were kids and probably did the same to others, you then take it that hitting people like animals is the way to go? Yet if a policeman approached to bully you in the same manner now, you would cry foul? 🙄🙄🙄

A policeman cannot punish me because he doesn't have that right.


But a parent and a teacher can punish a child under their care.


Stop your stupid wokeism.


Spare the rod and spoil the child, says the Holy Book.



If you bring your child to a school where I work, I will use the rod to discipline him or her, and there is nothing you would be able to do about it, other than to withdraw your child.



I have worked in schools where even parents were scared of me. One day, one of them served me a court paper. I entered attendance at court and nothing came out of it.


As long as I am using punishment as it should be used, there is nothing you can do to me.

Mbanda:
Because he knows that he is not there by merit.

Show me past presidents or governors walking in their office complex without bodyguards or guests?


It is the norm in Nigeria. It has nothing to do with merit or a lack of it.

Bade007:
Why does Tinubu move with much security inside aso villa,the most secured place in the country

It is the norm in Nigeria.


Tinubu did not start it.

Kobojunkie:
Nigerian parents are busier than parents in foreign countries where the suggested ideas are the norm?

2. Do you understand the meaning of the word privileges?

3. Huh?

Are the children in foreign countries faring better discipline-wise?



People make reverence to the foreigners when it comes to corporal punishment, yet no one tells us how the banning of corporal punishment in many western countries has actually helped keep crime rate low.


At least, before colonialism, the African discipline method helped to keep African societies disciplined.



The funny thing is that the Whites that colonized us also used our corporal punishment method to train our boys who all turned out fine.



The earliest black headmasters/mistresses and principals like the Kutis, the Soyinkas, all used the rod and society benefited immensely from it.
