Who are these people whose name cant be published? I hope your husband wont be named among those who destroyed naija come 2019. #watchyourback

Good question. I really don't understand how Nigerians do business. In a normal society, there is nothing suggestive about fighting crime.

SexyStrawberry:
Like I said before, its none of ur business how others run their lives, live ur life they way it soothes u, don't give account for people, its not in ur place to do that, if he clubs every freaking day, na ur money abi na ur body? ...........hmmmmmm ndi mmadu sef.......

Lol.. you know who else said that? Bobby Brown. He was doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. He didn't have to give an account to people. He even sang a song about it. What he didn't know was that his daughter was watching everything he was doing. She thought to herself that "yeah, i can also do what i want". Wrong. Now she's dead from a drug overdose at 22. Why did she she take to drugs? because of her parents. Like it or not, we as individuals will always give account of our actions one way or the other. There is nothing like true freedom. It comes with a price. A married woman or man who visits clubs is courting with trouble. Temptations abound everywhere and your job is to limit it. Why would anyone want to be around where alcohol flows freely, and prostitutes are available when they are married? When you get married, your priorities shifts. Your main focus is your family and how to make life better for them. That in itself is a handful.

Pidggin:
"Minimize your interaction with single folks" This statement is disturbing. It doesn't matter if they are responsible or not, as long as the person is "Single" married individuals should not associate with him/her right? Don't you think this is discrimination? This is exactly what the OP's friend is doing to her. She is throwing away years of friendship because of her new status, at some point, after the excitement wears off, she will reach out to her again. The OP needs to move on from this kind of association as it is not based on sincerity or love. A single person today may be married tomorrow, a married person today may be a widow/seperated/divorced tomorrow, discriminating against someone based on marital status is quite shallow.

Again you misunderstand. You seem to want to see or hear what you want. I hope for your sake that you are not married because you are courting with avoidable problems. Like it or not, people of like minds move together. That is how it is, and that is how it will always be. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of conversations they would have. Their priorities and interests would be different, so what could they have to talk about? And just so you'd know, marriage is not a status; it is a responsibility which has to be managed carefully.

Pidggin:
Are you saying married men with married friends don't cheat?

OOOooooh. You de find trouble. Temptations abound everywhere. You job is to limit it. Of course married men who hang around other married men cheat. But that is a different topic altogether. First you have to minimize your interactions with single folks. Then also, if you find out that the married individual you are hanging around also has tendencies to lead you astray you avoid them as well. Too easy.

Pidggin:
In your opinion all single people are irresponsible?

No. That is not my point. When i was single i sowed my oats thoroughly. I had my fill. Now things like that don't interest me. Been there, done that. Are you saying you've only had one girlfriend your entire life? Anyway, Let's say as a married man, i keep visiting you at home and you are single. Your girlfriend comes in from time to time. One day, she brings her friend to visit you and i happen to be there that day. Also, i just had a big fight with my wife and i'm pissed. Really pissed. Your girlfriend's friend is very beautiful and starts winking at me. With my state of mind, anything could happen. To avoid situations like that, it is better to hang with people who have the same interests as yours. I wonder what kind of conversations a married person and a single person would have?

babsnuel:
naah it doesn't

Let me guess; you are still single.

Pidggin:
Newly wed ladies abandon their single friends because they are under the illusion that they will never need them again. It's like they feel like they have moved on to better things and a more meaningful life, but sometimes this is not the case , and they will try coming back to you later, you just make sure you move on yourself so she doesn't find you when she realises her mistake.

This is not the reason. The priorities of a married individual is very different from that of a single person. Your interests do not match. The married individual obviously will be thinking more of their immediate family and putting his/her household in order whilst the single man/woman is still in the market and things like clubs and parties and sowing their wild oats would still be on the table. There is no freaking way i would advice a married man or woman to keep single friends. That's how you get into trouble. If you are man or woman and your husband or wife is still busy hanging around their single friends, then it might behoove you to cut that cord.

EroticAngelina:
u associate with people like u

Thank you. Well said.

A better headline is TINUBU receives 433 billion Naira.

voltron:
tomorrow when our kids turn to gays.. we wonder why

I remember a time when GAY actually meant happy. I miss the good old days.

meforyou1:
sue the airline? is the airline the one that is supposed to provide stairs?

Sue someone, anyone. The point is, they should not have embarked or disembarked the plane. And yes they could. Rope everyone together and make it a class action.

"writer and passer". Jesus christ. I wonder what they teach in schools these days.

Sibrah:
Young people? Choose to? Disembark?
See reasons. No regulatory bodies in that sector abi.

But he's right na. They CHOSE the option to embark/disembark using a ladder as rightly said. No one forced them to do it. The way it is done in NORMAL societies is not to embark/disembark at all and then SUE the pants out of the airline and demand that someone in charge resign or be fired. The problem is the way most Nigerians think leaves much to be desired. It is like the norm in normal societies is abnormal in Nigeria.

CharlesPhc:
Interesting...!!!

John Maxwell once said "Everything rises or falls on leadership"

APC #acceptresponsibilty otherwise, the revolution you promised Nigerians some months back would start on you

I think you misunderstood what john maxwell said. Every leader since independence is to blame for where we are as a nation. All this didn't just start today. The only way you can blame this present administration is if everything was groovy in the past and all of a sudden things went bad. As far as i can remember, things have always been terrible in Nigeria since independence, so blaming Buhari is nonsensical. Nigerians never rate performances on how good things were; it is always rated on how bad compared to the last administration. Depending on which administration was/is in power. Understand and accept the root cause of your problems and maybe you can start to change things around.

Speechless3:
Talking of skin colour not nationality.

Nobody says white beauty, yellow beauty, red beauty only black beauty doesnt that inform you of some hidden insecurity?

Black can be dull.
Yellow can be dull.
Pink can be dull.
Brown can be dull.

Still, they can all be bright or shiny. And at the end of the day we have beautiful and ugly people with those colours on their skin

You fail to realise that it is not the color that is being referred to but the RACE. It is same as saying "Russian beauty" or "Afghan beauty". It is more of a DESCRIPTIVE ADJECTIVE. Obviously "black" on it's own is dull and uninteresting and more often than not is associated with evil.

Speechless3:
Black is not beautiful(by itself) It is your beautiful features that make you beautiful.

Your complexion wraps it up.

I am dark and am tired of hearing, "black is beautiful" "black beauty" Just say she is beautiful.

here we go again.

delectablegyal:
I doubt if there is any relationship without sex these days. Even the media is not helping in anyway to curb pre-marital sex instead, they are enhancing it. Can you think of any music video that doesn't display obscene scenes? I doubt. Ladies shaking their buttocks, showing ladies taking bath in the bathroom, ladies putting on mosquito net calling it fashion. Look at that girl in iyanya's okamfo video, she is somebody's future wife.


Almost everywhere you go, you can't do without seeing these half unclad ladies. Even inside b.r.t, u ll see a screen playing fans mi by davido, real mvp by olamide, b.r.t that is for both adults and children. Will u now cover your ward's eyes? Saying "don't watch it, too many half unclad ladies inside".


What's the way forward? How can pre-marital sex be curbed?

Funny thread. Would you buy a car without test driving it? People underate the power of sexual compatibility. Or the lack of it. I'd rather find out we don't blend together that way than find out when we are married.

Destined2win:
If you are a Nigerian citizen and you've not learnt anything positive from GEJ, then you need to check yourself

If you are a Nigerian citizen and you've not learnt anything from GEJ, buhari, obasanjo, etc then you need to consider yourself lucky. The standards and examples they've set is not what you want to inculcate into your life. Unless you are into corruption, and mismanagement then go right ahead.

dammytosh:
When they ask the stupeed question "where is the change" ?


This is the change


I have always said it. The country is messed up economically but PDP is never an option.

Whenever the ignorant and hungry analysts type "this is the change you voted for".

The question on my mind is, should we have voted PDP instead ?

Fayose and the eediots saying nobody refunded any money. They are coming out themselves.

VOTING OUT PDP WAS THE BEST DECISION MADE BY ANYBODY IN 2015 !!

Lol. . .funny guy. PDP, APC, AD, XNT, SDP, QRP, . Nigeria has not seen one averagely decent political party since the pre-independence parties faded away. When you have a PP and in your ranks are looters and touts masquerading as leaders, then there is a problem. Worse is when the citizens support them en mass. Nigerians live in too much denial. The fact that one would compare PDP to APC or APC to PDP is in itself laughable. They are both useless. I really don't know why Nigerians forget too quickly. Part of the reason is not understanding their own history and the other is not knowing what quality leadership is. There has never been one decent government in their history but yet they want to compare governments. Na really wah for una.

Riensi:
Those examples you quoted are as a result of the brutality meted on the people by incompetent leadership. Funny enough, the brutality still continues.

You've just proved my point. It doesn't matter why Nigerian's have a messed up mentality, the point is they do and they need to change it.

Riensi:
I respectfully disagree with you. Bad leadership is the problem and here is why;
The military has ruled the country the most since after the civil war. All of them where simply incompetent. That incompetence simply seeped into every facet of the country. And unfortunately for us, we are still electing those same incompetent people

So bad leadership is the reason people think it's ok to use ladder to board planes. The right thing to do is not board, Sue the airline and demand someone's resignation. Is it leadership that prompts people to set other's on fire for no other reason than instant judicial gratification? The right thing would be to hand them over to the law. I remember each time I visit Nigeria. The aggressive look on people's faces is scary as hell. I just get the feeling anything can happen. Everyone want's to be a "sharp guy".

Chimezie198:
hope say Akpabio give am money... if him no give am dat man swear for am oo

This sentence should not have even been considered. The Nigerian mentality at it's finest. Anything is ok as long as there is financial gratification involved. Na wa for una.

Toks2008:
Why nothing in this world can make me miss heaven.
.

OP na wah for you ooo. I go de bug una till una get sense. So your headline make sense to you. Have you been to heaven before? Why you come put "never" na? Na really wah for una.

CoolUsername:
Nice. Don't get caught though.

Why? I have the right to inflate dolls and then send them in a balloon if want and also lay clothes on the ground in front of my house na.

Riensi:
Sorry it is not the Nigerian mentality. I have seen Nigerians doing big things in other countries where a lot of thought go into governance.
Simply put my friend, the leadership is our problem and I'm not the first to say this.

That's where you go it wrong. Nigeria has gone through enough leaders to realise that it is a mentality thing. you forget that it is an average Nigerian that becomes a leader. The mentality he's had is what he will use to lead you. Haven't we seen the jubilation when people engage in jungle justice? No normal society does that. you need to have a mentality for it for that to happen. Recently we saw the news of people climbing ladder to board a plane. In normal societies someone would have been sacked by now but it's business as usual.

A couple of years ago my wife started bugging me about going back to Nigeria. I tried all i could to make her realise that it would be a horrible mistake. She would have none of it. Then I started showing her front page stories on Nairaland. After a couple of horror stories she had a change of heart. There so much death and destruction a person's mind can take. Thanks Nairaland for helping me out and seun especially.

efilefun:
nope I think you got that wrong, there won't be much demand of dollars in the country and that would help in strengthening the naira

Lol. ...You are funny. You talk as if people don't travel in and out of Nigeria constantly. Not to talk of small business owners who travel out a lot.

intrepid:
I have been wondering.I'm not an economist but I know that it could be either too good or too bad;I don't know.

So please,anyone with good knowledge of how it will drive our economy and how it will affect the common man,should please enlighten us.

What does this spend restrictions mean for me and you?

Thanks.

The implications you say? Let me help you.

When supply is limited and demand is high, price goes through the roof. Expect the price of the dollar to Naira to be at 400:1 by the end of next year.

Let me summarize this for you since SH can't.

1. The Nigerian mentality is phucked up.

2. You have oil, you export it but can't refine for your own use.

3. You don't want Number 2 on the list because of corruption.

4. To solve your problems build more refineries.

5. Be more organized.

6. Countries like Germany don't have oil but there are no scarcity. Why is that?

7. The Nigerian mentality is phucked up.

CoolUsername:
Where will you get the blow-up dolls?

They have it plenty in stores here. Especially in sex shops.

I have been lucky in my life. I have had the opportunity to travel far and wide both in Nigeria as well as around the world. All of this on the dime of someone else. Every job i've ever had always seems to end up with me travelling as part of my responsibilities. Now, my current organization asked me to finish a project in Germany which took five years to complete and in all those years i did not see one accident. Minor or Major. Not even bumper to bumper. Why is that? Let me give you a little background. To get your driver's license will cost you 1,500 Euro or more. To pass a drivers test will almost feel like you are taking a bar exam. You can drive as fast as you want on the autobahn. 200 km or more if you can handle it and people still don't get in accidents. Why is that? If you drink an ounce of alcohol, or even taste it, and you are stopped and tested by the politzei, say goodbye to your license. They understand that driving is not a right but a privilege which can be taken away at any time. Nigerians think it is their right to operate a vehicle. In Germany everyone is on the same page because they all went to the same drivers class and they know what the standard is. So, when you stop at a four way, you already know what the other driver is going to do. No guess work. It is also mandated that you do periodic vehicle inspections to determine your vehicle's road worthiness so issues of breakdowns are at a minimum. In Nigeria it is free for all. I started driving in Nigeria when i was 12 years. I did because i could. Who's to stop me? I shudder at thought now. I could have killed someone. There is no standard, no law, no guidelines. Everyone just does whatever the phuck they want to do. Na really wah for una.
