cococandy:
Most traditional practices are misogynistic and disgusting.

Yes we have this in Igbo land and more even.
In Yoruba land there are also very disgusting practices against women and well as in Hausa land. Feminism should be embraced in all corners of Nigeria and we will stop hearing stupid shyt like this.
You guys are making it a thing of tribes while forgetting the most important culprits in all of this.


Unbridled patriarchy. Toxic masculinity

Please be specific and highlight the disgusting practices against women in Yoruba culture.

Because i have read of some great Yoruba women that subdued men. Some were even crowned queens

cristianisraeli:
shut up can you even read??

ok read again below

Patience Jonathan alleged in the suit that the[b] EFCC has incessantly harassed her through negative media publications, denigrating and degrading her person as corrupt, without any invitation, trial or conviction by a court.[/b] She wants the court to declare that the said harassment is a violation of her rights under section 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

All suspected criminals too should sue for the violation of their rights too now, abi?

when we say all politicians are corrupt but when they being prosecuted some peasants rise to their defence.

Like you were expecting Efcc to prosecute Chinese politicians b4?

Its either the Op is a stark illiterate or he just decided to be naive.
Where in the alleged memo was Buhari implicated of any corrupt act?

Chuvin22:
For those of you who doesn't know what asaba massacre is.. Thats is exactly what happened. It also happened in calabar. Calabar massacre. The igbos really suffered.. And are still suffering.

Many of us don't know this because we ignore history.

"When you are crying because you were hurt in a fight, it is meaningful to see what your
opponent also suffered.
When you insist that you alone suffered, you
might need to be informed you are not alone in suffering.
When you use your belief that you alone suffer
to try to compel people to behave as you want,
those other people need to go out of their way
to educate you.
Propaganda driven by some Igbos who have not
recovered from the defeat of Biafra wants to
compel Nigeria into a position of sole or central
responsibility for the horrors of the Nigerian
Civil War of 1967 -1970.
This effort at compulsion is accompanied by
threats of violence, vengeance and prophecies
of doom for Nigeria.
One of these efforts at forcing others to behave
as these people want is the loud cry that they did not
commit any war crimes.
Biafra is thus depicted as a saintly enterprise
and Nigeria as the absolute devil"







At Abudu, over 300 bodies,
including those of children,
were found in the Ossiomo river
as the Biafrans withdrew. [46]
Similarly, on 20 September
1967, 'there was a mass killing
of non-Ibo MidWesterners at
Boji-Boji Agbor', and on 23
September, 'non-Ibo speaking
MidWesterners were
apprehended by rebel soldiers
at Asaba, Ibusa and Agbor and
taken [in two lorries] to a
rubber plantation along Uromi-
Agbor road and massacred'.[47]
The more minor cases of rape,
extortion, seizure of properties,
and other punishments
featured abundantly.
For instance, a Warri-based
lawyer, E. K. Iseru, testified at
the Tribunal that he was
stripped naked and detained
for three days without food for
agitating for the Rivers State,
and, when he complained of
hunger, he was promptly told:
'there is no food for Hausa
friends'.

pauljumbo:
He said buhari government is corrupt and they yank him off air

lair!

SalamRushdie:
Even though Nigeria has never been blessed with a a good leader we have had a couple of slightly below average leaders and the really really bad one like Buhari is is the worst ever and whose bad behaviour had always affected the performance of the others .. so for the purpose of this thread in no other the best leaders Nigeria has had so far are Babangida , Obasanjo and Jonathan while the worst will forever remain Buhari

Obj is the worst.
he layed a bad foundation for others

We only thought he was fair because we just came out of a military govt

luvinhubby:
The question should be directed at you.

Youre not a Nigerian or youre Ipob.
Then, youre still not a Nigerian

Is $26b missing from NNPC or contract worth $26b were allegedly awarded without due processes?

Most Nigerians have comprehension prob.

How come those ppl that like to hear the three sides of the story are already making up their minds now?
Moreover, Kachikwu should confirm the authensity of this letter because his silence is subject a plethora of interpretations.

emmie14:
What do u know about administration. Abacha's era witnessed stability in economy. Forex market was at #22 per dollar. Security was intact. Buhari remain the worst thing that happened to Nigeria as a nation

you wanna compare a military govt to a civilian? Abacha a dictator
I am sure you wutness Babangida and Abacha era

To be objective
I'm stuck between Gej and Obj

Obj layed a corrupt foundation

I find it hard to believe, without any prejudice, how Gej's was unable to save while we are earning so much . And with no infracstructural development to show

Those shouting dont know how govt works. He's only trying to put together a hopeless situation. Though he has his deficiencies but Gej and Obj outweighs him

momohsteve:
Good evening my fellow Nairalanders, I am having a serious issue with my caretaker that doesn't wants to understand the meaning of monthly or yearly payments of house rent. I made payment of my house rent last year 30th of October 2016 which will expire this year 30th October 3017 but he is insisting that my rent has expired last month September and that I should pay for another year of which my rent has not expired. Please I want your sincere contributions because I want to show it to him as soon as I get back from work. Nah beg I dey o my people. This recession thing no be here. Please I need your contributions please!!!

sit your landlord down clamly and explain to him that its not that you are unwillng to pay but to forestall future contradictions your rent begins on Nov 1st , since you paid Oct 30th. Do the analysis by writing the months. And tell him that if your rent should expire on Oct 1st like he claimed, you would have paid a month's rent on two day.
if he's fixate on collecting the two days. Calculate it and pay him.
I rented my apartment on 15th Aug. and my rent expires every 1st of Sep. My landlord gave me 15 days grace to get the place ready and move in.
Even up till now, Ive not paid my rent and Ive called him to explain to him that by Nov I'll come up with it.
Just explain to him. The months and days get many ppl confused

euwajeh:
Hi friend your house rent truly expiry September last month , October to October are 13 month's and September to October are 12 month's so 12 months makes a year . Do your calculations.

Lets not get carried away here.
He paid on October 30th not 1st. The rent should starts reading on November 1st- October 30th...making 12 months

A country is a self-governing political entity. The term country can be used interchangeably with a state. A nation, however, is a tightly-knit group of people that share a common culture or background.

tuniski:
I am a northerner and a moslem please tell me which of the northern leaders condemned BH especially, in those early stages?

How about these ones?

You posted a news published in April, 2014. A lot as happened since then

dingbang:
I just hope when an Igbo president is being installed, people will not talk when 90perxent of Igbos are saturated in the president's cabinet....

If igbos aint talking now , ppl wont talk.

amjoseph19:
Even Mandela was once tagged a terrorist.
If asking for a referendum just like the kurdish and Catalonia means we want to go the boko haram way, then.... boko haram way here we come.

Minister of advice. pls advice yourself and your region. leave us alone with our stupidity.

Was Mandela a tout like Nnamdi Kanu
Did Mandela ran to UK dressed like a woman when he was declared a terrorist.

Many of you shouting "Mandela was once tagged a terrorist" dont know the story of Mandela. Mandela started his struggle on a violent note before he restrategized and started preaching peace .
It was then he became recognised

tuniski:
So northern leaders should be celebrated for cheering Boko Haram abi? All these buhari apologists have lost it cos of man worshiping.

Nigeria will be greater after buhari.

please, which northern leader cheered BH apart from the fake Buhari qoutes you ppl are parading?

FisifunKododada:
Thank you for insulting and accusing me without evidence - you are a very predictable

Accept my profound apology.
I didnt type it to sound like that.

pejuakinab:
Well, as much as I would want to agree with u, It is worthy of note that the memories fizzle gradually as new ones come up.

Certainly

But the memories cant be fizzled by the kind of music we hear these days.
Just sound , no message

Is that all?!

But you left out the part of how the price of crude fell from $100 to $30 and how your heroes was borowing to pay salary.
And how his crones looted us into a recession

FisifunKododada:
Nigerian society is too tainted with religious extremism for even the highly educated to function properly. If you are highly educated and you still believe Jesus walked on water/rose from the dead or Muhammed was a peaceful human being - then your education has failed you. The purpose of education is to promote awareness/consciousness. That's why if you meet the top scientists/intellectuals in the world, they tend to exude a zen like (or yogi like) quality. One possible reason for this is that they have reached a point were they are fully convinced that their ignorance far outweighs their knowledge. Only arrogant people say things like: "There is God." or "There is no God." The truth of the matter is nobody knows. And I mean NOBODY. Look at all the problems we have created in Nigeria because of people who are "absolutely sure" of the existence of a sky Daddy - Boko Haram, killing of twins; prosperity gospel aka spiritual corruption; killing of 'witches'; etc. Yet, the most significant consequence of our extreme religious belief is that Nigeria is a country of 180 million people, the vast majority of whom are AWAITING the end of the world. If you believe the world is coming to an end, why would you be FULLY committed to make your society a better place? Most Nigerians believe that this world does not matter because they are gonna START A NEW LIFE WITH THEIR SKY DADDY after the world ENDS. This is one of the most fundamental reason behind Nigeria's underdevelopment. So, until a sizable number of Nigerians are committed to creating HEAVEN on this Nigerian EARTH, rather than awaiting some sky Daddy to descend from the sky and save us, corruption and underdevelopment continues to no end.

You are educated but lack knowledge

This knd of knowledge us taken from the arrogant and civiled and given to the humble and tolerant

delishpot:
Fact that? That no one in APC ever stole Nigeria money and the only thieves are the ones who joined from PDP and those thieves should not be called thieves anymore because they now in APC? If they not saints why make it sound like their own sins don't matter because they are now in APC?

Are you benefiting from any corrupt politician?

Why not stand back and let them expose themselves. After all, if those in Pdp are clean Apc wont have anything on them.

Abeg, when its Pdp' s turn they should do same.

we, the tax payer have nothing lose but gain

Lomprico2:
Hmmmm
And they are pointing fingers to only Deziani

We all know they are corrupt. we just need proof

superstr:
Thanks for disagreeing with me. I am not claiming that teachers should not write lesson plan, yet it should be flexible. When I said printed materials, i mean a guide that contains teachers' explanations, tutorial questions, quizzes, summary and the rest. So that clears you point on voluminous textbook. Students can buy textbooks if they can afford it. Won't you plan the lesson before you design a printed and scrutinized material? On handwriting, as I have said, teachers will have more time to test students and students will still jot in classes... That will help their handwriting and spelling skills.

You mentioned two periods, what do you want to explain in a period compared to having chance to use both periods.

Above all, the time and energy students waste in class to copy notes, can be used on reading or learning generally.

So you want the teacher to draw a lesson plan and also draft a printout on every topic for every period?

I think 45 mins is enough time to explain a topic. You' re explaining a topic not the subject

Your only reason against note copying is because you feel student waste time copying notes. How can you call it "time wasting" doing what is helpful to you?

You forgot that while they copy they also read.

The printout to me is extral work for teachers and its irrelevant when you have the lesson plan and textbook

Permit me to disagree with this write-up.
Firstly,( no pun intended) you dont seem like a trained or experienced teacher.
During my Teaching Practice, an older teacher once asked why they should always write Lesson notes. Every other teachers boost into laughter. Obviously because thats question sound foolish coming from a supposedly experienced teacher. It is called Lesson Plan. The act of teaching is a serious and delicate process, you cant just delve into a lesson without a roadmap (plan). Even when you have a leason plan smart students sometimes throw curves at you talk more of when you dont. The lesson plan is a requisite for every lesson. Apart that its protocol, it saves time and makes the lesson more precise and effective.

The notes that students copy on the board is meant to be a summary of the topic. I have often argued against volumous notes. Since every subject has a Textbook students in Secondary can always refer to the textbook for further reading.
I dont know the method you've experienced but every subjects have two periods per week except English and Mathematics that should have more. You can use the first period to write the note and use the second for explanation and practicals .
Some of the benefits of copying notes outweighs the benefit you mentioned.
Copying notes :
-Improves handwriting
-Improves reading skills
-Imprives spelling skills
-It gives student summary topics to study instead of reading the volumous textbooks . However, a smart student should also read the textbook to have a wider knowledge of the subject.
Students are careless, if you just give them printouts, if they lose it before exam, do you print another one, at whose cost? Notes are easier to keep than printouts.
But if they lost their note , you can ask them to copy from their friends.

This lawyer of the rich and corrupt should keep quiet.
We all can see through him. He should stop putting words in Buhari's mouth.

He is putting himself out to be against the govt so all corrupt politicians can patronised him

So when Obj, a Yoruba man, said the army should shoot on sight any Opc memebers, he meant shoot all Yorubas?

BekeeBuAgbara:
As if the money is from cocoa or groundnut.

Is it from Ugu and Yam

At least, two western states have crude

perez100:
Buhari is a BIG failure. My joy is that all of us (including his blind supporters) are feeling the heat. He will crumble every sector before 2019.

Speak for yourself Mr

I made the better choice in 2015

Come 2019, if no better option, I'll make same .

At the rate Gej was going we are lucky we werent in a Depression

Joel3:
i supported buhari last election for one reason, reason be that we need a change of government atleast we were tired of PDP. i am more concerned with electricity and believe buhari have what it takes to fix power but i was wrong. the fuel pump price and electricity which i believe if it were to be stable and affordable Nigeria will be transformed.

but indeed i was wrong. this man don't have the solution to Nigeria problem.

You simply dont know how govt works

How do you expect the govt and some corrupt politucians we have to keep subsidizing fuel at the low income we are now earning?


You want something done , but you dont care about the challenges of doing it.

For fuel to ever come down we have to refine all we consume locally. That means more Refineries. Which this govt is working at and cant deliver in 4 years only.

You have to feel the pains first before the healing

This is some of the argument against devolution of power to states
Because "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
