Thanks.

During my youth service year I was privileged to live with two wonderful Ibo boys. We ate together from the same pot, slept on the same bed, went everywhere together...

We discussed about many issues, and produced fine arguments. But when we talk about Nigeria and the possible outcome of the 2015 elections, it is a different case. They keep saying that we(Yoruba) are betrayers and that they have been marginalized during the civil war. No matter how hard I try to make them see possible reasons why things happened the way they happened, they turn slightly aggressive and I perceive bitterness.

I wasn't born during the Civil war so I really don't know what went down, and I know that I cannot understand the pain the Ibo people went through...but why are they still bitter(for nothing)? Every single Nigerian has suffered even from the hands of the colonial powers and right now I think what is more important for us as a nation is to come together and work towards achieving the goals of our common values rather than accusing other tribes for not conforming to their unrealistic and deviant idea of splitting our wonderful nation.

Long live Nigeria.

No insurance?

koruji: To defend is one thing.
To promote falsehood in a bid to sell us snake oil is another.
I had hope that GEJ might actually be the one to transform Nigeria - even wrote something about that somewhere.
He has disappointed greatly - with crass ethnic bias, "I don't give a damn statements" and gross incompetence in many areas.
Promising heaven and earth, delivering pitiance, but expecting to be glorified like God.
He is only making moves now because of a selfish end towards 2015 and thanks to the gathering strength of the opposition.
A transformational president is not be too hard to spot.
GEJ is a pretender - but that doesn't mean there is nothing good about him.
We will recognize the little he has done well.
But for people to come online to tell us black is white, and white is black, when the true color is clear is very infuriating.

@Sincere9gerian, you know he's kinda right sha.
I have read posts about false stories happening here in Lagos and i see responses of "anti-Yoruba" nairalanders here. I like to be logical. I like to look for facts, and whether you agree or not, PDP has disappointed many nigerians. This is not to say that your Oga is not working oh. But check out the lies he told on CNN about the state of electricity in Nigeria. Any comment?

seanet01: He is a Fake and quackkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Doctor who was expelled from the Medical school for being to mor0nic.
He picked up a job as a Lapdog Assistant 3.
He only copy, paste and post what Dopemu Okugbe and Arara Abati told him to spread out to gullible Nigerians
Insincere Nigerian

OK this is interesting.

Making a guy feel manly isn't a hard thing to do. A few simple actions can go a long way.

• Challenge your man to duel and purposely lose. This will give him a great ego boost, especially if it is strength-related e.g. play-fighting or arm-wrestling. However, if it is a game, don't lose every time, as he will a) get suspicious and b)start to think you're a little pathetic.

• Give him compliments. A few good examples: "You're so strong", "I like your muscles", and even something like "Mmmm. You smell nice." (in response to his deodorant or cologne)

• Ask him for help, especially in things that might make him feel manly, be it lifting a heavy object, reaching a high object off a shelf, or solving a problem. Sure, maybe you could do it yourself, but think of it as giving yourself a break and letting him be masculine. Be sure to thank him afterward.

• Let him be chivalrous (i.e. opening doors for you, walking you to the door after a date, etc.), if he tries. Being treated like a lady doesn't make you less of a woman.

• If you are in a restaurant that you know you'll like pretty much anything, ask him to order for you. If you're wary, before you ask him you can say something to the effect of "I don't know whether I want the chicken or the steak", giving him a choice, but still letting him decide.

• Hold his hand when you walk. If it's cold and he offers you his coat, accept it.

• NEVER fake an orgasm in bed - he'll start to realize, and feel worse. However, don't have no reactions, either.

• If you're watching a scary movie, hold hands and squeeze his hand when there's a scary part.

• Never insult his 'manhood'. Even if you're only joking, he will take it extremely to heart.

• (In a non-creepy way of course) ask to feel his arm muscles, then tell him that he's very strong

• Don't take this too far. You don't want to lose your own identity, either. Also, being too dependent on him is a turn-off for many guys, as well.

coolkris: I think he is goodluck jonathan here on nairaland...thats his moniker

Naah...he's too busy for that.

When it comes to support of PDP and massive propaganda against other progressive parties, this name comes up.

I also hear about the 40 laptop guys (or what are they called?)

Who are these people and what is their mission on Nairaland?

What are your opinions about them?

Thanks

That is not the solution to our problems. We need Federalism. This oil has blinded us all. Oil and corruption are our major problems. Let each zone look within and develop themselves.

I always say that Africa's problem requires African solutions. These world powers are behind our predicaments. Whether it is the drug cartels or the leftover Algerian rebels, America and Europe are responsible. They are pulling all the strings. God pass them.

long live Nigeria

So happy for TuFace. Congrats man.

Sincere9gerian, i have been reading all your posts for months now. I don't comment cos arguing with you is a total waste of time. If you think you love your country, then you should question your love for your own life. I think you are delusional.

Progressives know what is good for us as a nation. I wonder how much they pay you.

recently network has been crappy. its even affecting my calls. i hope they work on it sha...cos i dnt plan to change my network. Airtel is still the best nigerian network. trust me. this is my 8th yr with my same number.

Too many comments and nobody is offering a solution. So, single ladies...pls apply.

I'm serious.

Some boiz will never learn.

I've always told my friends that my kids will have to work for their money.

Before I left home in January, Arab contractors was building new roads on college road towards Haruna and Oyemekun around Ogba area. Kayode Street Drainages had also been constructed and work had started on the roads. So yes, Lagos is working.

Every!!!

I have read posts of many nairalanders and fellow nigerians and one thing that never ceases to amaze me is the high population of people who deceive themselves, even in the face of truth.

Lagos state CANNOT be compared to ANY other state in Nigeria. If you feel that the Yorubas are making a stupid mistake by voting out other parties and supporting ACN, give concrete reasons.

I was born and raised in Lagos. I see development every single week. I've been to many states in this country and I know for sure that the leaders (current) of the southwest are progressive people who appreciate development and the future generations.

I don't know what thw outcome of the merger will be, but PDP will fail in 2015. I strongly believe it because people are seeing the difference and want to experience the good life too.

Glad Nigeria is showing so much responsibility to this. We must stop these extremists right now and silence them forever.

Long live Nigeria.

It is so obvious that Nigeria's problems are mostly caused by her citizens - not the politicians. The progressive ones see positive changes in their environment. The retards come on Nairaland and talk trash. The politics we play will affect our future and the coming generations. Can we all see that?

The SouthWest has improved...show me another zone that can boast of this.

Whether we like it or not (all of them are corrupt or not), ACN is a positive party...and I fully support the move to join forces and terminate oppression and ignorance...

Long live Nigeria

My father said all to me except 5 and 6. It made a stronger person...

My point is...these statements work on you based on how you perceive them.

I lost my father in October after a yr old battle with Stroke that left the whole right side of his body paralyzed. He was 72 yrs old. Before I was 16, I wished my father could just just fall and die. We weren't so close. Now I'm 23, I know better. He never bought us gifts or took us out, but he paid in excess when it came to our education. To him, our education was more important than anything else. Before he fell sick, he used to come to our rooms to greet us. After greetings, the next thing he used to ask was, "What are you going to eat?"... He wasn't a successful husband (married twice and divorced twice), but he was a loving father. My mom left in 1995 and he never married another woman. He took care of us 3kids and now we're all done with university. I was reading his condolence register and I saw many wonderful things people wrote about him. I believe what i read because they all wrote almost the same thing. He was humble, generous, honest (he was an external auditor and I KNOW my father never took a bribe), easy-going...we had arguments and he always let us express ourselves. I love body art and my father didn't have a problem with that, because he knew the kind of kids he had. He allowed us choose whatever career path we wanted for ourselves. I wanted to be a pilot...he supported me, I changed to Law, Accountancy, Economics, and finally Psychology...he let me discover myself without pushing me. He was a wonderful father. He was totally amazing. I miss him so much.
RIP Dad

its called body art...some people appreciate stuff like that. different people, different perceptions. so u critics...mind ur own businesses
