I usually find it hard to admit that any woman is half as beautiful as my wife, but basket mouth wife try.

yungchief:

Na she make you de wait for. One day you just wake up at age 50, still de wait for help. No go hustle.

TheFreeOne:
Kindly explain.

There is no need for explanations. His utterances and actions are enough proof.

CaroLyner:
where is your source?

Good question bro, good question.

iamjayboss:
The comedian turned politician posted a photo of his bare chest, we don't know if this is cool.

What do you think?

I remember the good old days when he and i used to hustle. I swear, hunger na bastar.d. He was a marketing rep and used to work for a company representing malta guiness and i represented maltina. It was war of the brands. Every time our paths crossed we always tried to outdo one another. The good old days. I knew he was funny but I had no idea he would blow up this much. Lol....

Let me rephrase..."I am better for it", it made me a better person, believe me pain is a motivator. I grew up in an Army Barrack in Nigeria and we knew that all too well.

We know that, each time you misbehave; part of the corrective measures involves some level of pain and we do not run home to report all pains we have endured to our parents, we learn to fight and take our stands, even if that means taking more pains in the process.

Believe me, no one/society have a monopoly on what set of measures will produce the right results as it involves lots of variables. Even America that espouses most of the methodologies you have enumerated, have the highest rate of teen delinquencies, high prison rates among teens, high rate of truancy, teen pregnancies, teen drug addicts, the list goes on and on...

I grew up in an Airforce barracks in Nigeria and i understand what you are saying. But there are some errors though. The old school mentality is that pain will correct a pattern of misconduct. That is incorrect. Pain is supposed to be used to draw one's attention. This is why spanking a child must stop before the age of 8. At that age, his brain is formed and he/she is beginning to understand things. I myself am a soldier. The old school way of correcting infractions, was to make you do front-back-go, push ups all day and any embarrassing punishment imaginable. Now, all those methods have been outlawed. As a Sergeant, my job is to coach, mentor and lead my Soldiers. You phuck up once and i give you a verbal counseling. The second time, it becomes a written one. The third time and you receive a UCMJ. Believe me you don't want that. You lose your time, money and rank plus 45 days of manual labor in ungodly hours. You work all day, eat at 1700hrs, and begin cutting grass, cleaning latrines etc till 2300hrs. You still have to wake up at 0500 the next day to begin the whole process again. Initially, The NCO's were against this new form of corrective training. We were so used to the push ups all day method. It took us a while to realize you effectively change the way a person behaves by applying non physical corrective training. The trick to changing a person's behavior is not by brute force but by taking away certain liberties they take for granted. My kids for instance. There is a rule in my household that there is no outside playtime on school nights until friday, saturday and sunday NLt 1600hrs. They know that any kind of infringement and those days will be taken away from them. Plus, no cable, bicycle, xbox, phone, etc. To them, losing those days is like being locked up in prison. You used America as an example. The reason you have those statistics is because America is not a lawless society. You phuck up, you pay the price. Every country has criminals. What makes a great nation great is how effectively you enforce the law. Under normal circumstances and by America's standards, a lot of Nigerians should be in jail but because of the fact that the law does not exist, they walk around free to do more damage. E.g touts, Policemen, politicians etc.

JaredNomak:
But an old senile PMD said they're in prisons.

The illegal ones.

DJBIGGY:
God forbid something goes wrong and countries abeg send nigerians packing... How will we cope wit the population? Bloody hell

If they are nurses it means they are legal residents and they ain't going nowhere.

Giant of Africa.

lastmessenger:
I must tell you that you just wrote a good stuff here.please can I send you my CV so that you can help me submit to your company. I will really appreciate that.thanks a lot.

Sorry bro, not in Nigeria anymore. But i know you can do it though.

Topeakintola:
It is only a matter of time before the IPOB Youths call the German President a dictator and a Tyrant

Wonderful advice and it should be implemented ASAP

IPOB wailers can cry themselves to sleep

I can tell you for a fact that it never happened. All you need do is live amongst Germans for a while and you'll know it is a fallacy. There is no way a German will admit doing anything or advise you to do anything illegal publicly. Nigerian bloggers sha.

In America, you most likely would have been a millionaire by now. Agencies would sign you up to make special appearances. There is a chick here who makes 5k per show all because she looks like kim k.

mickells:
Can you spot the differences in your story and a Nigerian with the same grade that does not have the opportunity to travel out?
If you can, then you should know that not everybody is the same.

Bros, the truth is, most people all over the world don't know how to apply for jobs, especially in Nigeria. It does not matter what degree you have. Employers, even in Nigeria, are mostly interested in what you can do. Just like the OP, i graduated with a pass. And to make it worse, i graduated with a HD degree. The difference between a HD and HND is that when you graduate, you will not be allowed to serve in the NYSC. I got a pass not because i was dull but i just was not interested in the way the academic system is set up in Nigeria. My first passion was football which i was extremely good at. I was actually called up twice to screen for the under 16 and 21, but alas i did not make it. Back in the day, if you played for Abuede/Osjack youth teams, you most likely would get a call up. Anyway, what made me stand out was my love for things that most Nigerians at the time were not interested in. The way people communicate with one another and languages. I also loved comic books, video games, movies, novels etc. Armed with all these tiny skills and experiences, i could hold a highly intellectual conversation with almost anyone. My first job after school was in a marketing firm. I do not have a marketing degree. The HR rep liked my vocabulary and the way i presented my arguments. We talked forever and mostly not about the job. I could tell he was at odds with the fact that i had a pass and did not have an NYSC certificate. They gave me a chance anyway and i've never looked back since. Part of my job was mainly to interact with high end potential clients, especially expatriates. In no time, i was already a supervisor and later a manager. I didn't realize it then, but employers don't really care that much about your degree. They care about you, your experiences and what you can bring to the table. Most people in Nigeria are as dull as a blunt knife. They cannot hold a conversation even if it is to save their lives. Have you ever had a conversation with a Nollywood addict? O'boy, it can be very exasperating. What am i even saying? Have you read some of the comments here on Nairaland? With a pass, i've worked with BAT Nigeria, NBC, Insight communications, etc Focusing on degrees is half the battle. Develop yourself and the sky is the limit.

Frankiss44:
This explained the one Nigeria of old, it was genuine and pure.. Unlike what we have now.. Yoruba man and Igbo man going to beg for the release of an HAUSA man

It was worse back in the day. Shoyinka and Achebe were two highly intellectual individuals who knew better, so they don't count. Educaction and exposure makes you think rationally. The majority of Nigerians were mostly illiterates and the mistrust, especially between the Yorubas and Igbos, was deep. The average igbo man blamed their loss of the war on the yorubas.

Akaujaa:
Receive sense. propaganda doesn't come with mind boggling proves and evidences like this. mtcheww....children everywhere.

But he's right na. It is propaganda until the federal govt prosecutes all suspected criminals. Pointing fingers and making slanderous statements is not the same as fighting corruption. The Government needs to start putting these people behind the dock to answer or clear their names.

TimeManager:
Wailers sef.... Wailers always subscribe to corruption network because of free yam data.
Jonathan ate our national cake, dasuki ate our yams, metuh ate our paper but baby wailers ate nothing, yet they are always on wailingmode.
Wailers are loosers.
Cc; wailers community
The truth has spoken!

Can't you people put up an argument without adding "wailers?". Is your vocabulary and debating skills that low to the point where you now substitute it with words that are jargons?

lekjons:
Op, what're you insinuating

U mean the pastor is spending church money, right??


May God forgive you...

Dont you know the church members reward is in heaven..

where else is the money coming from? Don't we have the same crap here in Nigeria?

Gingerr:
Nice body on them

I have a six pack too. It's called a bud light and i'm drinking it right now. It's absolutely delicious.

Smellymouth:
How is 00600 not late?

How is it late?

Smellymouth:
It is indeed your responsibility to be strong where your wife is weak, as it is hers to be the same for you..


It is, NOT however your responsibility to teach her to be a responsible adult.That was her parents' job,and if they skipped a lesson you are welcome to be miffed at them.However, to take over their role as parent when you are husband is, to put it nicely, Creepy

So WAKE HER UP!!

How is 0600 late?

vybzkartel:
She wakes up at 6am

sometimes after 6 am

and i believe a virtuous wife should be waking up earlier

I am often up by 4am or 5 am

She wakes up late and doesnt pray

I have been diplomatic, harsh and all...but she hasnt changed. what do i do?

1. Wake her up when you wake up.

2. Buy an alarm clock.

If you ask me though, 0600 is not late.

oluface:
THAT SCHOOL IS IN TOGO AND NOT MY COUNTRY CAPITAL. OP IS ONIRO JATI JATI.

Here we go again. Denying the obvious. Are you saying things are not that bad in Nigeria?

All i see is a man scared for his life.

kenonze:
Grammar hard o.

OP wtote "this is made in Nigeria"


Moderator with oversabi changed it to "this was made in Nigeria"

Bro's, he is right na. It all depends on the context one is referring. The product is continuously manufactured in Aba.

kekakuz:
Some 7 months ago I was transfered to our directors office and my life changed for the better. I noticed my boss is very friendly especially towards me and trust me with key responsibilities. He gives me audience during board meetings which am not even qualified to attend. He recently approved an official car for me of which is not meant for staff on my grade level. Over time. I got used to him and I did not know how I unconsciously called him daddy. He smiled and kept his cool. We hang out a lot and he advices me on investment and wealth. Something g I cherish and put to good use.
2 weeks ago he said we need to go pick his daughter from the airport. He dropped his car and I carried him to the airport.
I meet his gorgeous daughter and the meeting was electric.
For the next week he directed me to take her around town shopping and saloon. I asked of my office duties and he said someone else has been assigned to cover for me.
We shop and club regularly but problem arises whenever I told her am going home. She wants me to always be around and am avoiding such offers to avoid doing anything g that will spoil my relationship with her father.
I resume work and the father has began to ignoring me and avoid me, when I ask him what the problem was he reply that
I make him unhappy because am avoiding his daughter.
Then I got the message clear. Now am confused because the girl sweet and cuddly but am not in love with her but her father who is my hero wants us together.
Friends what would you rather me do?

Another MOD made up story. Want my advice? why don't you just. . . . . . . . .

linearity:
That is how we grew up and learned in Nigeria then and we are better for it.

In fact, it came to a point that, we mastered various methods of enduring those canes without showing any sign and emotions and after the ordeal, look at how your fellow guys and girls will be congratulating you to the disdain of the teacher, sometimes the teacher will even be feeling shameful if we did not show any emotions despite their best efforts.

I got lots of bragging rights then, today's kids are aja butter, imagine how no one is talking about the kid's failure to do his assigment, even the bible said; spare the rod and spoil the child.

Lol. . .he said "we are better for it". You must be living under a rock. Have you looked around your society lately? This is one of the reasons Nigerians are so used to gore and violence. Also why it is so easy to burn another human being on the streets. Brute force is a solution for everything. Paddling a child to this extent is a sign of poor problem solving skills and laziness. The teacher could not put forth a little effort to solve the problem with mental energy. And "spare the rod and spoil the child", does not mean flog the child to death. How has it improved Nigeria's society? It's getting worse by the day. Please come and do that shiit in America or Europe; you'll spend the next 10 years in jail.

Cutehector:
Why him nor go blind?

After all d people wey u don ban for nairaland?

Karma!

Epic.

knightsTempler:
If you are Nigerian, share this picture to your timeline. Let the world know we are a great people. You can choose to see yourself and your country as criminal or choose to project yourself and your country as one of hardworking and motivated people. The choice is yours.

I do not need New York Times to tell me about how upwardly mobile Nigerians are. I look at myself and the search for an improved status in the US and I see other Nigerians doing the same...Igbo, Yoruba, minorities all. I see us and I am proud. However, since New York Times confirms it, I have to agree with them.
I am Nigerian and I am proud.

Copied from Ena Ofugara's timeline.

The one's that the New York times are referring to are LEGAL residents who have no choice but to behave themselves. They are in a place where you dare not ask for or offer bribes. Mett out jungle justice as you see fit. Utilize a POV however you want. (https://www.nairaland.com/2927024/lagos-driver-places-plastic-chair/1#42827401) A place where every citizens right is upheld as best as possible. Where personal space is respected. Where personal boundaries are recognized. Where the law is guaranteed to clamp down on you in a blink of an eye. Fabricate stories so as to defame individuals out spite, boredom or ill intent at your own peril. #Linda ikeji.
And most importantly, where you have to obey the law in it's entirety. Which one of these applies to Nigeria?

Keneking:
Nigerians are indeed doing well

Where? In which are in Nigeria exactly?

yemivictor:
Me ke? Rift?! No be me o!

No i mean the Ooni with his "Yoruba monarchs are superior to the Benin monarchs".

Mhizkel:
"The struggle of man"
Still better than illegal jobs.

What you should say is, "this is a safety violation". It a major accident waiting to happen. Soon you'll wonder why someone would just go through a windshield at minimal speed.

yemivictor:
How about this: Father Lord in Heaven, Creator of all Heaven and Earth, Omnipotent God, we pray for your son that may his reign bring greater peace, prosperity and love to Yoruba land and our dear nation Nigeria in Jesus name. Amen!

You need to watch the Ooni's visit to the Alake on YouTube where he (Ooni) first paid respect to the Almighty God before he began his speech.

Is it the same guy causing a rift between two tribes in Nigeria?
