Yoonsung52:
That does not still make her Igbo

But the OP never made any assertion as to her being igbo by virtue of her fluency with the language.

Besides she never said she wants to be.

Sunnycliff:
This is incredible! Am wowed. Indeed one doesn't need to be or see the four walls of the university in order to make great impacts to humanity.

Yes. But it is easier if one does go to a good school and really know your craft.
Schools provides structure and methods to learning.

oyinkel:
His arguments are apt.

The average Nigeria is very intelligent, the mediocrity of our leaders impedes our potentials. Energy that should be spent on productive endeavors is lavished on frivolous outburst of frustration.

But.....

Its all about to change.

The average Nigerian? Really?

If you don't mind, the average Nigerian clearly lacks Integrity and although he/she may be roughly bright, they are usually Incompetent.

How do I know? Well average means mode (or the most frequent occurrence) and if we group all Nigerian adults into 2 ; Those with Integrity and the Corrupt what group would have a larger share of Nigerians?

If we also group all Nigerians by Competence and we even make 3 groups; The Proficient professional, The Intermediate skilled but dutiful individual and the largely Incompetent/non thorough. What group would rank tops?

God help us all though. We can do it.

The original slay Queen.

This one na cop. The ones wey dey give dem bad names na olopa.

Please would you know the literal translation of the word "Olopa"? I know it means Police but what's the Literal (the direct) translation?

Thanks.

originalprof:
He said his ENEMIES ARE AT WORK, NA YUR ENEMIES GIVE U COVID 19, OR it was your reckless attitude that gave it to u are GIFT(Halloween day) trick and treat, u chose treat, so treat yurself

ALL the safety measures to curb the spread of COVID 19 are not fail safe. They aren't guaranteed preventive measures. They just minimize risks. Saying a sufferer is reckless is NOT right unless you know so.

God help us/him/his wife.

Juliusmalema:
Good but Mr fergie001 your topic is misleading

US didn't veto anything but sticks on their preferred candidate.

after all China, EU and Japan sticks with Iweala and China alone contributes to 12.4% trade statistics while US China has 12% of trade.....


US will have to swallow their pride this time around. They are just kicking unnecessarily.

China, EU even Japan are a whole lot of strong backing plus over 90 countries joined together.

You are right. But personally, I prefer the backing of the US to all the others you've mentioned combined.

Cooldipoo:
They are the same capacity, *MPS2.0* is built with brand new lithium iron phosphate cells at it goes for

45k without inverter for those who need it for just laptop, phones, dc bulb and

55k with inverter to watch Tv and other ac appliances.

Thanks for the response.

What's the difference, with or without inverter? Care to Explain?

Hambivert:
Sparogatively, the Yoruba meaning of Toriola is... "because of tomorrow". Some would translate it to mean because of wealth, but I would stick to the former!

No one knows tommorow! The breakdown of how much shares he purchased, was it necessary?

Sparogatively, MTN stuck with the interpretation I chose, "Because of Tommorw", bearing rioters and 'ALOOTERS' in mind.

"Na una people get MTN NG o!"
Message passed loud and clear!

Let me not forget to say...

Congratulobia! Mr Toriola, go and excel

Shares Owned by Executives give rise to potential Insider trading concerns by shareholders & the investment community. To dispel these concerns and to improve Corporate governance, share ownership disclosures are important.

Securities malpractices by terrible executives in the past have necessitated these measures.

SilverNorGold:
My sister, I did.. This looting has been hijacked by evil opposition parties to settle scores.

Nigeria go better.

Hijacked by who?

I don't support looting in any way. however, how do you explain keeping COVID palliatives 'till your birthday' when the lockdown ravaged many a families with people begging to feed.

COVID palliatives were to be shared upon receipt. This is a joke. Poverty has been weaponized in Nigeria. So sad.

Okoroawusa:
Oh boy!... Other people's properties.

Falz,Aisha Yesufu see wetin una cause

How can it be Falz and Aisha that caused it?

You probably would say they fronted the protest.

Is this the first protest in Nigeria? The Security agencies are flawed, our leadership is mighty flawed the hoodlums seized the opportunity created by the chaos recently. The protests begun since 1st week of oct. How did it degenerate?

clintz:
learn to understand people, videos of dead protesters being paraded on social media are fake

Really?

The governor (of Lagos) said no fatality was recorded. The FG has recommended hospitals to treat wounded but you think the shooty never happened right?

NwaNimo1:
All these institutions that have been fleecing Nigerians for years.......are getting their pay back.

Wrong. I hope you don't support this.

dasparrow:
Yes Britain! This is why history should not have been scrapped from our education curriculum. Britain got us in this mess believe it or not. It was Britain's evil idea to merge the Southern and Northern protectorates against the will of the people. Britain intentionally left power in the hands of the hausa/Fulani knowing how easy they were to manipulate. Today, hausa/fulani feel they own Nigeria and that they alone have the right to rule Nigeria.

Britain dictates to the hausa/fulani how to rule Nigeria and that is why Nigeria is still a developing nation 60 years after independence. Nigeria's dysfunction and underdevelopment benefits Britain, Europe and the Western world immensely believe it or not.

Do you know how much money these Western foreign missions make from Nigerians annually from visa fees alone? And they end up denying most Nigerian applicants visa anyway while pocketing their visa fees.

Nigerians are held hostage by the Nigerian ruling class who are in collaboration or partnership with Britain. Believe it or not.

But Buhari never won an election without the support (at least in part) of the south.

In our nascent democracy, No Northern candidate can win the Presidential elections without the support of (at least) one other major tribe and a few minorities.

After 60 years it can't be the British holding us back.
We have seen african countries split without results too.

Go help us.

hammerP:
BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS OUR NUMBER ONE PROBLEM, THEY STILL THINK NIGERIA IS A COLONY.


NOTICE TINUBU STARTED TALKING NONSENSE , AS SOON AS THE BRITISH CRIMINALS AND THEIF VISITED HIM.


U DONT UNDERSTAND BRIATIN IS USING FULANI TO STEAL OUR RESOURCES.


IN CRIMINAL LAW IT IS CALLED, JOINT ENTERPRISE.




BOTH FULANI AND BRITAIN ARE INVADERS AND COLONISERS.


THEY ARE FOREIGNERS.




WE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY AND CHASE THEM AWAY NEVER TO RETURN.



WE JUST LOST SOME OF OUR VOICES TONIGHT, SOME OF US FRIENDS, SOME OF OUR BROTHERS, SISTER, MOTHER, FATHER AND CHILDREN.


WE CANNOT ALLOW FULANI AND BRIATIN TO GO SCOT FREE.

How?

Britain?

Patriotic9ja:
Ahh so he finally did. He was boasting the other day not to.

Show he's wise. Changing one's mind positively is a hallmark of the wise.

BabaOwen:
Shut this your foolish and dirty mouth jawe!!

People were shot dead, you dey talk about a foolish cabal. Is this the trash you will be saying if your brother or sister is among the dead

Let people vent their anger anyhow dey want. Tension is so high right nowm

Sad about the dead BUT people shouldn't vent their anger anyhow they want.

ANYHOW is not smart. That's chaos.

Holyterrorist:


Someone should pls remind this guys that sars has already been disbanded,they should protest for something else.

Forget about the protest for once and answer the question,

How can SARs be disbanded now when they have been disbanded in 2017, 2018 and 2019?

Would it also be disbanded in 2021 and 2022 or does their deceit end now. The whole thing is hard to sell to even calm people. Get?

Jessepaid:
It's sad... I Never thought a person from my tribe could become an ass licker..

Really?

You thought people from your tribe are special? Nobody's special. We are all just different.

I'm sure you have heard that the good and bad exist in all tribes but you chose to believe what you want. Well here you have it.

SegFault:
but when a brutal murder happens, who will you get to first, the police or the Air Force?

The NPF.

But if the NPF isn't doing the training (I don't know for sure) should the NAF leadership not do theirs too?

No direct relationship exists between the NPF & the NAF.

SegFault:
Na the question I dey ask myself now.

All divisions of the armed forces have police units.
AKA Naval Police, Military Police & Air force Police.

These units are essentially police within the armed forces they investigate cases too.

Of course the NPF also needs this too but this doesn't stop theirs, does it?

Juliusmomoh:
That's the reason why i always advice people..:

'please don't go far-away from home'.
.
Rest in peace bro

Sad situation.

But no place is truly home. Home is where you make it.

No one belongs anywhere.

Are you in your LGA and community of origin now?

Even if you are, your dad probably moved there from his own father's original abode.

My point? We all move. We are all moving the distance doesn't matter.

cooldipo:
I have laptop powerbank, brand new

Please can I see a sample of your L. Powerbank?
How much do they go for ?

Danzakidakura:
Seun is yet to condemn this SARS brutality to Nigeria youths who pay him. Always forming Don jazzy

It's not an effective idea (in the long term) to COERCE people into adopting your approach to a cause.

Persuasion is more effective. Just not coercive guilt tripping.
Am I saying the FSARs oppression is right? No!

But people should not be coerced or guilt-tripped.

Why? Because IF everyone always supports an emerging cause (blanketly), just out of fear of consequences of non support, the whole country would be an echo chamber. And there'll be no genuine opinions on how to better achieve our aims— or sincerely criticize our approaches.

Persuasion is always better.

VEXT:
Why will they arrest him?
He was just trying to develop Cambodia...
Hard working tribe
The richest tribe in Nigeria
Other tribes r lazy...

Most of you go out,ruin this country name and then call it zoo.. Even thou I also hate this country, but this act is too bad!!!
Three tribes that keep giving this country bad names "Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba "..

We south south r the most God fearing tribe in Nigeria.. We r d head of this country.. Without us,this country will collapse!!

The South South Oil revenues have been crucial to the Nigerian project but to say without you the country would collapse would be ignorant.

For one, we don't know whether Nigeria would have focused on developing other resources if oil — and its easy money— didn't blind them. I am sure you know Nigeria has other Mineral/Agricultural resources too.

Secondly, Oil comes from (and perhaps is going to be found in other areas outside SS[assuming oil is going to still be relevant in the world]) albeit in small quantities.

Thirdly, NOT all countries have oil. And they still exist.
Matter of fact, many countries in Sub saharan Africa/Middle east with oil have been environmentally devastated and marked by violence. Almost as though oil became a curse to them.

Oil from the SS has been Nigeria's mainstay.TRUE.

But saying the country would collapse without it is not that simple. It is like saying without a father (in the home)all children be failures. Well that is quite likely but not certain as I can tell you of many individuals who achieved good successes in their lives without their fathers.

okpalaAnambra:
There is no armed robber worse than SARS
Even sars doesn't attack the real armed robbers

Those guys have failed to curtail their excesses BUT they do go after armed robbers.

In fact they are very effective when serious.

Just another institution hijacked by poor ethics.

Angelfrost:
I don't think it has anything to do with Christianity or spirituality! It's more of a foundational flaw in personality!!!

I know first hand of heathens and atheists who have those qualities you listed up there, and they are not restricted to the male gender as you tried to paint, though they surely carry the slight majority.

Anyone raised in a household of extreme strictness or environment where show of affections is culled or restricted, will grow up with such traits... It comes down to question of exposure and orientation.

I shall reluctantly concede that religion plays a huge part in this too... This is why I frown upon extremism whether in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc... After all, animals show affection to their loved ones, even openly.

It's not necessarily Religion. It's usually cultural and can be a personal decision too.

The Jews and Romans greet with a kiss. That same gesture (a kiss) is abhorrent in another culture.

Again, what really is "exposure"? I see many people use is as a synonym for being influenced by Western values I do hope that's not the context you use it.

Why do I say so? Well even in the western world, personality differences abound. Different value systems coexist. You must have heard of the liberals and The Conservatives.

Even in Britain (UK), the typical British is not expressively given to the outward show of emotions.
The British Monarchy exemplify this trait too.

I am saying any lifestyle is wrong? No!
Within reason, no one should dictate the lifestyle of others or deem them strict. Because to the one you call strict you are probably loose.

We should all learn to be accommodating of the lifestyle choices of others. Except where it affects you negatively.


The funny reality in all this is that what many describe as being "Romantic" today is effectively the residue of decades of western influences on us.

Not that I am against it but most "acts" of modern romanticism would be completely alien to most african pre colonial cultures.
This cannot mean that african cultures were devoid of loving and caring familial attitudes. It just means that they didn't demonstrate this by kissing in public, holding hands, giving flowers, celebratng Valentine's days and other niceties of western influence.

BigSarah:
North can easily get Ally's compared to the other regions.

Then we should target those groups who "easily" give in to them. Also, could it be that the North are politically more shrewd and others should learn?

BigSarah:
Lol...Zulum and northeast leaders quit your theatrics , we know 2023 is your turn, that's the reward of blowing yourself up for the past decade... The north can easily retain the presidency in 2023 and beyond just quit dropping your security detail..

Politically, No region can win the elections general elections on its own.
Even the North cannot win elections on its own in Nigeria. Partnership is required from one other major group or at least a few "minority" groups to effectively win.

Most Nigerians don't get this and repeatedly yell North! North! When the North can't really win on its own.

Kriss216:
You can imagine this sh'thole of a country

They're giving medical attention to terrorists while Nigerian soldiers are dying in penury.

There's nothing like a repentant terrorist. A repentant terrorist is a dead terrorist!

I thought so too but the whole Boko Haram saga is just complicated. Especially having festered for so long.

VOA /BBC hausa had videos on youtube of full fledged communities/LGAs completely controlled by BH.

These are far flung northern communities where BH rules indigenes against their wishes and these indigenes have no choice because dissent meant execution. Even those suspect to be government informants are executed.

I am saying there are no BH apologist in the north? No, there are many. But there are those ruled by BH against there wishes and forced to be loyal and submit to BH to live. You don't even have to do their bombing.

God help us. Wisdom & grace.
Just a sad situation.

Brachaa:
Depression coupled with the fact that he's a northerner. Their reaction to issues is always drastic and extreme.

I feel for him though. Our system is not it!

Sad story. But always try to reduce the use of the word "always" in arguments.
