What is the population of women in Nigeria that you have met, that led you to make such sweeping illogical conclusions? Guy, you do not know what you are saying. I have worked with UN-funded programmes for a variety of agencies, and I can tell you that Nigerian women are some of the most hard-working people, you can ever see. Women are said to make up about 49.34 % of the current 180 million population of Nigeria in 2016, according to the World Bank. So which dirty research or study did you conduct, to discover that the lazy ones are more than the hardworking ones? When, where and how did you arrive at this infantile conclusion?

Those you claim have shops set up for them by men or sugar daddies are very much in the minority in the urban centres. How many men, are barely coping and managing to put body and soul together, that they would splurge out cash to set up shops, for all the women they know? The average Naija man would most likely date 6 or 7 women over a period of 5 years or more, so how many shops is he going to open for each one?

Most women I know, took small loans from their cooperative societies, or women's associations to set up their shops, while others saved their little funds over a period of time from their trading activities, in order to be able to rent a shop. So stop feeling embittered and envious of their successes.

Even the uneducated ones in the villages go to the farms to cultivate agricultural products, and also trade in open markets to sell various commodities. Please stop using your miniscule schoolboy experience to judge majority of hardworking Naija women who struggle to put food on their tables, each day.

Maybe you come from a community where women laze away, doing nothing. It is not the same thing, in the remaining 774 local government areas, in Nigeria. You need to step out a bit more, and educate yourself.

I didn't say women are not hardworking. Maybe you need to read through again before jumping into conclusions. Thanks

LaudableXX:
Only God knows the circles in which you move. An average Naija girl doesn't want to work??! So all those ones we see running their own shops, catering outfits, working in banks, insurance companies, pharmacies, hospitals, teaching in schools, sewing new clothes or designs for their clients etc....are what? Ghosts? Or aliens?

Yes they do and it has nothing to do with circles. The girls you see running around G-boys, the ones you see jumping from one guy to the other and taxing them for bills, the one we see who after marriage sits at home and expects the husband to pay their bills. Maybe the word average was not proper but a large number of women today do not want to work. And by the way over 60 percent of the shops these women run are paid by their husbands, boyfriends, sugar daddies, runs or they just sell provisions and sit idle in the shop gisting. I'm not generalizing, but that's what we see daily. I have sisters and a mother who do not depend on a man and their husbands for their livelihood. So it's not about hearsay or circles, they are still hardworking women but the lazy ones are more than the strong ones

I've seen guys thirty years and above who still do things on this list

I've said may times that 'you can be black minded and marry a white minded person' it would only cause disaster. If you have only studied the lady well, you would know if such could cheat!


Well, i've been thinking about this..... Are you guys thinking towards what i'm thinking?

just take a look at the woman's feet. There are every tendecy that the woman killed the man. Good investigations will show that red spot on the woman's feet. She may had the man killed and then kill herself too! If the man was the one who kill the woman, how come she has blood on her feet?

Fitness kristy.....

The place look like there was a struggle. Probably the blood might have spill on her feet after he pulled the trigger. Moreover probably there was sign of violence on her body

Thanks for the feedback

It's not clear whether you read through my first post or what you are actually proposing.

I posted that after watching a TV programme showing facilities in some foreign countries where they keep young people from no families.

These young people didn't bring themselves into the world.

They were born by people who felt they had a right to please themselves without considering the consequences of their actions.

By the way, most of the young people I saw on the TV programme were violent and some even suicidal. And it follows: they had no family to learn love and care from, so they naturally HATE themselves and society at large.

As I noted in the first post, personal responsibility and self discipline are key. We will build a better society when we weigh our actions and the impact they could have on other people.

That's one of the good things about platforms like this. We can have fruitful conversations and learn more on how to make better choices.

Thanks again

Like KanwuliaExtra said, the best thing to do is to start a NGO to create awareness and educate teens on the harm from a non religious perspective . if you are really serious about this NGO then I'm in too. Never underestimate the power of a ripple effect. We can put our ideas together, except KanwuliaExtra though, she has bills to pay

ChiefAzubuike:
Naija una need troops and foreign intervention. Una never pass that level yet. Why United Nations dey fold hands watch? This is genocide and not the first time its happening.

If the US can help Nigerians let them help. The american military will be too brutal on them so I suggest the US coast guards to restore decorum.
Bet e no concern me sha. Na Yankee I dey.
Their Oga in jos Yakubu Gowon also did same to our land . I still carry battle scars from that operation tiger claw that occurred in calabar on October 1967.

As much as I agree with you but have you seen countries that the US military intervened in their conflict? They go from bad to terrible in an instant

1) Tattoos have Spiritual implications

Spiritual ignorance is a big no no when deciding on my future spouse.
Few actions show me how spiritually ignorant you are when you go and permanently stamp yourself with a symbol or sygil you don't really know anything about (past what "someone" tells you).
I have seen some tattoos that I don't know what they mean, but my spirit inside me just feels appaled at the meaning behind it for some reason, even when my brain doesn't actually know what it means.

Also my grandma had tattoos and she raised my mom right, she's one of the sound spiritual person I know and my mom raised me right. It's the individual purpose in life not the ink

2buffagain:
2) What do you tell your daughter?

Before deciding on who to marry, it is important to look ahead.
Marriage is not just about you and her. It's about your children as well.

I have a certain way I intend to raise my children.
Say now you decide to take things serious with your tattoo'd gf and you guys get married and are blessed with children...when those wild teenage years come, how do you tell your daughter not to get a tattoo? Children don't listen. They observe. If mom has inked her skin, you as parents have lost all right to tell your children not to.

Your daughter will come back home one day and TELL you that she will be getting a tattoo of her current boyfriend's name on her lower back and you will have to shut up and look, because there is not a damn thing you can morally do about it. You've lost that high ground.

I agree with you but what about the people whose culture request tattoos. Take Dwayne Johnson as an example, he's from Hawaii and his culture there's an age or position one attains in the society and has a tattoo traditionally inked on him or her. I wouldn't mind a Hawaiian girl with tattoos because it's their culture but a Nigerian girl with tattoos, I understand your reasons for that.

Temptee101:
Thank you for making your opinion known. One or two occurrences such as the ones you alighted still are not enough to tag the whole nation as insane. Even the U.S you gave example with has recorded more violence and indiscriminate shootings than Mexico over the years yet nobody in his right frame of mind will tag the nation as being insane. How many times have Mexico been on the news for the wrong reasons when compared to Nigeria?

You are trying to be patriotic, i understand but sentiments aside, we all know that Nigeria is a sorry excuse of what a nation should look like. How many times have our security operatives been brought to book despite all the atrocities they have committed and are still committing? What is happening in Mexico can never happen here, we are too backward. Truth must be said no matter how difficult it is. Let me stop here, i have got headache

Sorry for the headache
I agree with you and I did not say they were insane. Frankly no nation on earth is sane or insane and Nigeria is not a yardstick for how a country should be, it should be a yardstick for what a nation should avoid. The government at least made an attempt but here in Nigeria we don't. People are killed daily in the US and Mexico but what you don't see is people or dead bodies lying in the streets like the gory sight in Plateau State. I agree with you we are backward,it hurt to admit but the truth is always hard to swallow

Temptee101:


A sane clime where nobody is above the law. But over here, the police go shoot protesters, still video am, dey play am for office dey laugh

Sane clime? No way. Don't you see the way Mexicans are running to the US border despite knowing the fact that they will be separated from their kids? Some time ago over 20 students were missing only for a secret mass grave to be discovered having hundreds of bodies. Mexico is ridden with violence. So don't call that place sane

Deltayankeeboi:
For Donald?? no hope. Under the circumstances we have found ourselves, anything just to send the terrorist president packing come 2019 is highly welcomed.

Personally for me, i think Donald Duke is building castles in the air.

I don't see him getting block votes from the North. I doubt if he has any stronghold there.

Be it as it may, I believe Atiku is currently the only candidate strong enough to challenge the terrorist president for votes in the North.

I am not supporting anybody yet but believe me Atiku is our best bet in sending the terrorist president packing.

They are both evil but between both of them, we have to choose the lesser evil "Atiku" for the benefit of all.

For me between Duke and Atiku I'll prefer Donald Duke. Atiku? Bro please no. If it's Atiku and no other candidate then let the dullard continue. Last last we'll carry guns or get out of this country

goldcoinhub:
The Nigeria vs Argentina encounter at the Russia 2018 World Cup, which is set to hold later this evening, will not be the first time that the two teams are meeting at any International competition.

This is the eight meeting between Nigeria and Argentina, and the South Americans had won in all four competitive games, drew one and lost in two international friendlies.

Their first encounter at USA ’94 ended 2-1 in favour of the White and Sky Blues South Americans, while they played 0-0 at the Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia in 1995.

At Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup, the Super Eagles went down 0-1, while their encounter at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa also went the way of the Argentines with 1-0 victory.

Eagles first victory over La Albiceleste came in 2011 in Abuja during an international friendly game, which ended 4-1. But the Argentines responded quickly with a 3-1 win in another international friendly duel at Dhaka Bangladesh.

During the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Argentina won 3-2 in their last group game, but Nigeria won the last international friendly match 4-2 against them.

However, there is tension in the Nigerian camp ahead of today’s battle at St. Petersburg and the coach Gernot Rohr has charged his players to give all their best at the game.

We beat them at the 1996 Olympic Games to claim gold after beating Brazil in the finals

Nairaland has indeed gone to the dogs. 80% of those pictures are just nude photos, the post stated girls spotted at the world cup but all I'm seeing is ladies who did nude photo shoot. I've watched almost all the games and those girls are not in Russia, I've even come across some photos before

My name is Amaka afuzor, and i am a student of Federal university of technology minna. Mechanical engineering. 100 level


Before you accuse me of being dull, I had a 204 in JAMB.
I always wanted a first class, but
I decided to check my result yesterday only to see F parallel and some good grades out of 10 courses.
Pls am 22 and I need to pass so I can get a good job after graduation.
I know I didn't give my books much attention this semester.

I am confused because I will be asked to withdraw if I get a cgpa less than 2.0 on a scale of 5 after second semester and don't meet the 10-8-8 requirement which I am very far from.


CAN I GRADUATE WITH A FIRST CLASS STILL?
Tell me the honest truth, I can handle it.

Pls who knows how many percentage of final cgpa the first year performance takes In futminna

I had similar situation in the University but graduated with a 3.7 cgpa, what stopped me from getting a first class was my first year. Just know where you failed and make amends. School is not as difficult as one make it. I read only on Saturday in school and was far better than those that read every night

I was about going for my weekly shopping and something just came to my mind, is there any rule that state we must cook rice for launch on Sundays? 90% of households in Nigeria eat rice very Sunday. I just decided to cook yam and egg sauce tomorrow to see if something unusual will happen

My father used to tell me that while he was young eating rice was seen as a privilege so it was only prepared on Sunday, plenty rice small meat. Most elderly people I've met always tell me how they only ate rice Sunday so they only prepared it Sunday. It's nice but I don't follow that tradition. It's a beautiful thing though, just that Nigeria is poor at following tradition, it could be used to grow the rice market

Automative1 I watched this programme like 10 years ago. You just saw it?

sunnysunny69:
Happy for you brother, I pray it's gone forever and ever. I like the fact he chose to play for Nigeria even though he has little chance of playing for England. That is one opportunity the likes of Gabriel agbonlahor , Dele Ali etc missed. They play 5 or 10 international for England and are dumped thereafter. Look at lampard Gerrard etc, after football they have a future in management but the black ones have no future after retirement.

I agree with you but the smart ones get a punditry job and are paid more than some coaches

Decided to do a back flip into a pool but landed awkwardly, found myself drowning. If not of a friend don't know what would have happened. Guy man just left the pool and sat in a chair observing

MarieSucre:
The full parental leave is 7 months, with maternity leave being the first 3 months. How many of you Nigerian men will opt to take care of a baby who cries day and night(especially at night), clean baby sh*t, change pampers, carry the child to public places for fresh air i.e market, church/mosque, school play grounds etc for the next 4 months.

I did. I didn't comment to start a gender fight please. Don't generalize please

Dicki:
I doubt the genuineness of your assertion because the option for contract engagement looks more promising and it's something you needn't think twice before grabbing the opportunity with both hands.

What about scenarios that the state fails to pay. I've seen several cases like that. If it's federal or with one of these multinational corporations then there's no cause for alarm

This is how I cook my own egusi.

1. I steam meat and set aside.
2. Pour my ground egusi into a bowl. Add a little water and form the egusi into a paste.
3. Add little oil into a cooking pot, allow the oil to get warm a bit.
4. Pour the earlier prepared paste into the oil and fry.
5. Keep turning the egusi in the oil until a proper mixture is formed.
6. Pour the water from the meat and allow the whole mixture to boil for some minutes.
7. Add pepper, Maggi cube, salt, etc and allow to boil yet again.
8. Lastly. Pour in your vegetables and stir.

9. Allow the vegetables to simmer.

10. Enjoy your tastefully prepared egusi soup.

I prefer putting my Maggi cube and salt last. Egusi can be prepared in any method, the easiest soup to learn.

As a kid then used to be scared of this guy because of how big he looked and his red mask Till Kane dealt with him on his Raw appearance

WWE said Wednesday that Leon White, better known to WWE audiences as Vader, died Monday night at the age of 63.

White retired from the NFL in the mid-1980s due to injury

He then transitioned to World Championship Wrestling. According to the WWE, he engaged in “memorable rivalries with the likes of Sting and Ron Simmons, becoming a dominant, three-time WCW World Champion in the process.”

In 1996, Vader joined WWE roster, “where he squared off against Superstars such as Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.”

Superstars have been paying him tribute on social media pages.

Prevention is still the best. I can't imagine how much goes to her medical bills, how many families can afford that? Asides that, it is a life of constant pain.

Before you go too far in a relationship, know your genotype, end it before it becomes too difficult, love enough cannot overcome it.

I have seen and heard very loving couples get torn apart because of a sickle cell child.

I have seen a sickle cell patient abandoned at National hospital by his very wealthy parents.

Exactly, she doesn't look like she's not being properly taken care of. How many families have the money to treat a sickle cell patient for 94 years. Best thing is know one genotype and avoid heartbreak.

Meghan Markle just attended her first ever Royal Ascot Tuesday as a member of the British royal family, but did she already make a faux pas?

The annual five-day horse-racing event requires quite the strict dress code, including asking all ladies to cover their shoulders and wear hats and name tags. But on day one of the event, the Duchess of Sussex noticeably did not wear her pin, choosing to hold it in her hand instead. Prince Harry, who was by her side for most of the occasion, wore his purple-and-white pin on his lapel.

At Ascot everyone is given a badge, mainly to get them through security," royal expert Duncan Larcombe tells BAZAAR.com.

According to Town and Country, all royals, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, are expected to wear them, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge followed tradition and wore theirs last year. However, Markle was not the only attendee this year to pass on wearing the moniker accessory.

Marlene Koenig, a royal historian and writer of the Royal Musings blog, tells BAZAAR.com that Duchess Camilla, Princess Anne, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie were also not wearing their pins at the 2018 Royal Ascot, and their choice is not going against royal protocol.

"Wearing pins has nothing to do with protocol," Koenig says. "Protocol is for official, diplomatic, state events, [including] where you sit, when you enter, etc."
"Perhaps [Meghan] did not want to ruin that nice Givenchy dress with a pin hole," Koenig adds.

The Duchess of Sussex wore a stunning off-white Givenchy dress with a black-and-white hat to match for a flawless monochromatic look.

The French designer is clearly one of Markle's favorites. She wore a Givenchy gown for the royal wedding and yet another Givenchy dress for her first solo engagement with the Queen last week.

No name tags ruined those outfits, either.

TheSuperNerd:
Ever heard of Acromegaly? This could be down to the lad being somewhat Acromegalic also because right from his early teens, he has been a big kid. His Growth hormone and other growth factors must have worked in some form of overdrive.

We have kids looking like this and yet are so young. Even some are at tall as 6ft 5inches before they are 18.

Look at this kid below from Brazil who recently joined what I assume to be your team (judging by your moniker), Real madrid. His name is Vinicius Jr and he is just 17. Would be 18 next month.

Renato Sanches and Donnaruma comes to mind
