No, he hasn't done anything to deserve such.

We could only point at him and accuse him of inciting more killings owing to his very outspoken support for and passive encouragement of banditry and killings. That isn't enough.

You do not depose an agent who has been committed to service and has widened the spectrum of financial influx for his kin. As such, HURIWA should entreat Nigeria for his arrest once he loses his immunity.

Which he cannot lose until his ministry becomes financially redundant.

Okay...


Mouth, brain and hands.

Mouth to convince a client with enigmatic words that I alone have the solution to his problem, and to argue in his favor.

Acute arguments are a fruit of the brain.

It's tad obvious what the hands are for.

Wizkid is agreeably very dedicated in the things that he does. And that is why he would not need to display his jewelry collection to have the esteem he needs.

If he doesn't get it from his musical achievement, he would get it from the wraps of blunt he smokes.

Okay...


I'm so happy for him. Not for his invention. No.

But because the national support that Innoson Motors have been lobbying for since its inception, this beautiful soul will get on a platter.

With added fanfare.

Okay...


Reading through this, it sounded more to me like commending a nurse for finding and injecting the right vein of a patient or cheering one's father for providing your feeding money.

Save for the reality that these institutions are grossly corrupt, who would high-five an officer for turning down bribe and returning a wrongly-transferred fund? Were they meant to take it in the first place?

Unfortunately, this is a big thing coming from them. Was it not our Super Cop that was busted for being a syndicate to a fraudster?

Okay...


Simply horrible.

Over here, residents rely only on the pity of NEPA for electricity supply.

I hear that in democracy, the government is only a servant of the people. That by consequence it is responsible to the citizens, and must treat them with regard and caution.

In Nigerian democracy, you couldn't agree less that as a citizen, you're the servant. Poor, impoverished servant.

I've never understood the rationality behind spending billions and fighting dirty to become a servant.

Man is agreed to naturally possess discretion of good and bad. However, it is argued that with the prevalence of external factors on his judgement overtime, his definition of good and bad could change.

Seeking validation is also a way of intently trying to condition your mind to accept what a group accepts as normal.

And that is why some years ago, a man only sought the face of others to help him make serious decisions in life.

But as we have it now, because every other person is preoccupied with sex and the related, OP feels comfortable, even normal trying to tell us how a certain lady with big ass is driving him crazy.

And he would be taken seriously.

Okay...

By invoking the word 'infidel', you underscored the desired angle which you'd like the argument to take: the old, rugged biblical angle.

And you'd win – at least it would seem – but only in the premise that one's understanding of 1 Timothy 5:6 is mutually correspondent to his acceptability of the peculiarities of the biblical era.

Attempting to haughtily summarize the role of the man to only moneymaking doesn't just give you off as one who represses truth, but aslo as one who would parallely have such misconception imposed on the thinking faculty of the impressionable.

Moneymaking, as that is what you want 'provide' to mean in your context, may have been the total responsibility of the man in the time of old. But would you say that moneymaking was the only thing that the man did in the family in those days and even today? Is the role of the head of the family that robotic?

What about the energy he expends in raising the children? In assisting the woman in homekeeping, he shares in the domestic affair and all these, without thinking of being manipulated and used, as would a contemporary woman.

Unlike then, women did not brawl with men over equality. But as soon as women became interested in being considered equal with men, they inadvertently signed the clause for equality in financial provisions. As cliched as this sounds, it's still valid.

Moreso, as a woman in a marriage who earns money, where would your money be channeled to? No man has ever been said to pursue the wife out of the home to go and make money, but as long as she earns money, it should be spent on familial provisions just as the man spends his.

And that would not nullify her domestic roles, as it has not nullified the fatherly roles played by the man, which infact spans across what you listed.

When the Serbian Tesla created alternating current—this same inventor who marvelled Edison with his monumental modification in Dynamo-Electric machine—came up with alternating current, the use and distribution of electricity took an unprecedented course forever.

Now this is what I'm saying; we're not being fair with our definitions. You get up every now and then to purchase an improved smartphone with sleek features, but still denigrate prostitutes by holding them in that snooty, traditional view.

Prostitution as a word is outdated; it has grown beyond it's essential meaning.

As for me and my household, you're a prostitute if you give sex for a reward.

You may have no stand or fixed location, but never dare to sneer at an ashawo if you open your legs in the hopes of getting money, money, money or iphone.

Funnily, a kongified man scurrying to ease himself at the prostitute's would have passed a thousand unbranded prostitutes before getting to his spot.

In entirety, I admire Waltz's rendering of Dr. King Schultz in Tarantino's classic Django Unchained, but not as much as the specific scene at Big Daddy's plantation where he exposed how witty he was with his act, and an exceptional sense of humor.

'When Django and myself executed these men on sight, we were operating within our legal boundaries'

Tonto, just as many, would agree that she has a right to say whatever she so desires about God. To her, it could even be operating within her legal boundary. It is easier for one to respect the threats of an Idi Amin than a being whose existence you cannot objectively prove.

God is the most grossly abused being on the planet, and had I not felt Him personally, there's no telling how far I could go in blasphemy.

Even Dan Brown would be shocked.

Okay...

It's an unwritten law for us, that when an outsider is within the circumference of our discussion—say, a visiting person, prying ears of the world—and you intend to pass a classified information at such times, you speak our language.

No, not our village dialect which, though difficult to understand, could still leave some keywords in the mainstream Igbo.

We were able to come up with a cryptic language, known to and understood by only us in the whole universe.

The tradition is its usage in critical times.

Okay...


You're fornicating, and asking for the right way to sustain it? If I get you, you do not want to have any other girl in your life?

You'd better get yourself enough bannies and get rid of that 'faithful boyfriend' mentality.

I have always said that if you must sin, do it without apology, that at the end, you may wholeheartedly take in any reward that might follow.

Okay...

Recently, I found myself getting more interested in understanding the human emotion. Superficial knowledge on some subjects in Affective Science has been helpful, but hasn't satisfied my quizzes.

Envy is a dangerous emotion. When it comes, impale it, lest it transcends to jealousy. You weren't born to take a life, you didn't even resolve to it, but these emotions will overpower you and hand you a saber. They're things of the mind, and the mind is in control of you.

Again, downplay your achievements if you must. You don't want to arouse envy; you don't want to end up watching your back forever.

Okay...

Well, he may have had a ton of reasons to go on with that decision, which, hypothetically, he might have taken having aligned to popular far-left ideologies about religion. These ideologies may have seemed more sumptuous and simply too good to be overlooked, that pretending to press on in religion would suck out every possibility of reaping the benefits.

"It's [H]is [F]ather I don't like".

His Father was not even meant to be liked, but loved. But how can we possibly love Him? We only know of him through the brainy depictions and propagandas of people who read your holy text more than you, albeit not in a bid to learn of Him, but to handpick the most "touching" and "gory" things He did so you can join them in their community, and in return make them feel more secure with their stance.

If only He could reduce His standard for us.

A Brief History Of Christmas

Christmas is celebrated on December 25 and is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For two millennia, people around the world have been observing it with traditions and practices that are both religious and secular in nature. Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniversary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader whose teachings form the basis of their religion. Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorating Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive. December 25—Christmas Day—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1870.

What's With The Qualm About Christmas?

It is true that the ancient Romans and Europeans had major hedonistic celebrations in this period of the year which were mostly to appreciate their gods. For instance, the Europeans celebrated birth and light during the winter solstice. The Scandinavians celebrated the Yule, and all were pagan.

With the spread and growth of Christianity, the Church decided to replace these traditions which had been in place even long before the birth of Jesus Christ. Not being able to fully institute that, Pope Julius 1 chose December 25 as a day to mark the birth of Jesus. And I think he successfully overwrote and abolished the pagan traditions, as Christmas has become a worldwide celebration. (Funfact: Christmas is the biggest celebration in the world, followed by Hanukkah, New Year, Chinese New Year and others.)

It is simply a worthy commemoration, notwithstanding the period it is celebrated; it is just for one to personally agree that he is remembering the birth of Jesus Christ. Whether Lucifer was born on or celebrated today shouldn't be an argument.

Enjoy.

It's another Christmas!

It's yet another day fixed to commemorate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

The North is strongly opposed to Igbo presidency, and it's a wonder. Empirically, it's ideal for power to flow to the South East zone, to allow for an administration by new heads.

Igbos will continue to detest Nigeria, and the logic is simple.

Dumb girls are easy prey for lecturers. But I still wonder why they're mostly well-endowed, and sometimes with fine face as an addition.

Natural compensation?

On whose behalf was he checking the virginity?

Medical method is there for him, but he must have agreed the grip and tightness of the hole on his prick would give a more satisfying result.

Only uninformed people believe virginity of a female can be ascertained through physical examination.

Dowen College has released a rebuttal to the claim sponsored by the deceased's relative. Now it's very hard to draw a conclusion, rather a hypothesis is all I can afford now:

If Sylvester had died from injury or consequent injury sustained while playing a game as claimed by Dowen College, why was there ever a need for the brutal post made by the obviously apoplectic relative pointing fingers at abuse? If it had happened as claimed, unless his uncle feeds his veins with heroin, there isn't any rationale to such a post. It was prompted by what he may have been told by the dead, which still holds water at this juncture.

And how he got those names in a very short but sensitive while is very baffling as well.

I took a careful look at Sylvester. He was very broken. His lips were so gone that it can take a sandpaper to replicate the injury on them. What kind of fall, or jump, or collision or whatever could have resulted to such? His limbs were not responsive as well.

Sylvester's mother, whom Dowen College calimed to have contacted beforehand wouldn't be so mad to call for such a shameful, ignoble protest unless it was prompted. If it had happened as asserted by the school, the typical response of a mother would be a solemn candle night or funeral, accompanied by dissociation and mourning.

Okay...

"...We lack security consciousness..." doesn't really sound convincing. Southern Nigeria has always repelled attacks whenever they come.

Repelled. It's always as simple as that. Defensive attacks on enemy forces (forces which an international history student studying about Nigeria would think are some sabre-toothed foreigners) have been recorded both in print and in memory. One wouldn't agree much if offensive was the talk here.

I would rather outrightly say that the south has managed to surpress its bloodthirst and has embraced peace, but that the Fulanis are a group of bloodletting individuals who make it seem as though the south is dumb towards security.

Despite trying so hard to conceal it, this man is selfish.

And just like nine out of ten, he hopes to reap where he did not sow. More confounding is that he believes he has an entitlement to another man's wealth.

Okay..


That man is disgustingly smart. The kind of smartness that'd make you agree with your village people that you have been a fool all the while.

I believe the woman may have been very happy that she was about to land a man and could have been the one sponsoring the wedding. Guy man knew she was taking the joke seriously but needed to be sure.

And suddenly, a revelation which hadn't come all through the period of courtship somehow came up on the wedding day.

Just a few note of ED amounted to ₦1.6.

It's very possible Buhari is fighting corruption in a non-conventional style. Just imagine that naira has worth as the Emirati Dirham, a couple of wads pulled into a dashiki could cripple the economy. So, the more worthless he makes the naira become, the better.

APGA has won all the political parties including his APC combined.

Every business is geared towards profit-making. Every Nigerian business is geared towards cashing out from the unsuspecting.

It's almost ridiculous to expect these bodies not to rip off a government that has served itself up for such. Subsidy is something that should be ended totally.

In Nigeria, everyone is corrupt in their own capacity.

Okay...


You seem to not have understood the situation, OP. Women admire brutality; they prefer who treats them with hardness to any MNG who'd cuddle and cherish them all their lives.

This is not in alignment to societal views, but a fact which observations of Affective Science and reoccurrence have made valid. A woman will view her harsh man with respect and awe, but would covertly, but most importantly, indeliberately disregard the Nice Guy.

Anthropology suggests that the Woman's emotions are very complex, as it changes frequently in correspondence to environment.
It's not as if she would abhor the Good Man, but emotions, consequently, will make her feel so. When she is in need of cuddles and warmth, she prefers the nice, smiling guy, but whenever her sexual urges set in, which at all times do, her lustful drives would coarse her into the bed of the monstrous man.

Bottom line is this: Sexual desires and expectations, distorted belief of being more secure and respected with him are the reasons why the higher percentage of women would choose the Bad Boy.

Okay...


Someone should calculate the cost and have Bella pay it into the account of a trusted person. It would then become a fund to see the boy through school.

I know why I'm saying this, because with the way Bella spends on getting high, he can borrow the boy's destiny to purchase narcos.

Open up to them.

If you're bold enough, you could passively hint the bank about your knowledge of the Nigerian Pregnancy Discrimination Act if you ever get an opportunity. A high-ranking firm or organization would think twice before pulling such stunt as rejecting a pregnant employee for the sake of an expensive scandal or a lawsuit.

As for being single, no secular organization would consider that a threat to standard or productivity. But we cannot pretend to be blind to the Nigerian mentality of perceiving pregnant people as unproductive. Therefore, they can cancel your employment, though without making mention of your singleness or pregnancy, but some trumped up reasons.

DappaD:
I didn’t stutter in what I said.

You typed them in; you didn't have to stutter in what you took time to write.

But you can revisit the mention. The quote is updated.
