Celestialsword:
A local government chairman is the chief security officer of the local government and any decisions taken by him is binding in all kingdoms under his domain but that of the King is not so.

The local government chairman hold more authority

Not in the Orolu Local Government of the Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun does the local government chairman have more authority than our Oba! That might be because our local government belongs to our kingdom which is the Oba's domain.

In fact, our local government can't go against our Oba, and must consult his office before imposing anything on the kingdom, unless it's the state government that is imposing, in which case the governor would have consulted the obas or is governing very ineffectively.

the antispam bot banned budaatum for https://www.nairaland.com/8511650/nairalands-bot-out-control/6#136952214. Ban expires at Today at 11:45:19 PM.

CodeTemplarr:
Plenty of bugs.

One key bug is that,You are training the bots to ban users but not leaving room for users to learn from missteps and avoid future ban. That is a poor design.

I get banned but have no clue what could have gone wrong in my post. It will make much more sense if a bolded excerpt of the erring text and corresponding rule for it is sampled in the ban messages. That will ensure a learning process that's fair for all.

Marry me please, Templarr!

Seun, this is how we will learn and evolve. But you know your spambot has no learning whatsoever don't you, because you've never fed it fruits of trees of knowledge!

Mideh95:
But the compulsive and impulsiveness I was born with it.

I feel for you. And your braveness wants to make me ask, “Where are your accusers? Who has condemned you” but yourself?

Just one thing. You see that bit above? You have the "compulsive and impulsiveness" that most people have who never learnt to control it, so you squandered the 'teacher' support your uncle gave you and led your younger brother astray too and are now regretting it.

Share this your post with your brother you led astray. The two of you sincerely and honestly supporting each other is better than alone.

Then why did he deceive me by saying that he will use his own address. Anyway I will seek advice from my lawyer before I take action

More like, why did you allow yourself to be deceived?

And yes, I need you to answer me.

Good
Well said.
From what you said now, it would be madness to have a king that is from a different ethnicity from its people right?

As in my Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun appointing a king from our neighbour in Ilobu we are killing?

That's not possible because the post is hereditary. You have to come from the family of obas to be eligible. So even my own family that is not oba family can not be oba much less another ethnicity.

Saying that though, England did go and drag complete foreigners from another country to come and king them, and ethnically different Greeks and Romans did once sort of king Egypt, so I wouldn't call it madness, considering.

It's just the way things have ended where obas are, I suppose.

Psalmcomng:
😂 You really cracked me up with that “24-7 vigil when the landlord kicks me out” line.

I get the sarcasm, and honestly you’re right that lack of sleep can ruin productivity.

But on the flip side, some people see night vigil as a way to pray with focus when distractions are fewer.

The problem comes when it replaces wisdom and responsibility. Prayer should strengthen you, not scatter your life. Balance is key.

Balance is key. Least as far as work goes. But better perhaps be done by 9, in bed by 10, well rested to wake for aluwala in the morning and work for my own breakthrough.

I think Nigeria suffers from lack of night school where people can go to learn breakthrough and live, than staying awake all night yelling to God and disturbing the neighbours one should be responsible to. That definitely lacks wisdom and is therefore unjesusy.

It's unbiblical too. Unless you were not cursed.

nnadychuks:
How will a king bring the people closer to the government and vice versa?

What is government, first?

Celestialsword:
It is to bring government closer to the people (grassroots)

And indeed it does.

nnadychuks, it's tradition. As in, we've forever had them, and built institutions around them that enable our communities to function as they do.

Depending on the strength of an oba, they resolve conflict that is too small for other institutions or that the complainant is too small for, or those outsiders might not understand cultural nuances and just make worse if involved. And for their own glory, they usually endeavour for communal growth that benefits their kingdom and people.

In the end it's not a 'why' question. It's just how we roll.

On EU ban of US meat.

I think the only thing I'd get after night vigil is tiredness the next day, and an inability to concentrate and do my job effectively and efficiently, and I'd be prone to accidents which is an added cost to my employer who will be pïssed of because I'd be much less productive than if I'd just slept.

In fact, I think break through is the last thing I'd be receiving when he sacks me for poor performance and I've now added joblessness to whatever I was looking for at night vigils.

Hey, at least there'd be one positive when that happens. I wouldn't need to do night vigil only and can 24-7 when my landlord kicks me out for not paying rent.

Sorry, I think it's stupïd. But considering there's not much alternative night life in most places, I see it's entertainment value if in moderation.

Vinnie2000:
The way this Forum now operates is Annoying.

Banning Pple over mere use of words like YANCH and breasts.

The Mods should remember this is a Site for Adults, FFS.

I'm beginning to think seun caught religion, or is becoming a toddler as the rest of us are growing older. He is definitely deevloving while we have evolved, and should seek new management to drive the forum forward instead of him dragging us backwards.

DrAkpa:
See the place

That's the place, lol.

Are there no banks that charge nothing or less?

I used to get angry when they deducted ₦10 for sms ten years ago, so imagine.

DrAkpa:
Yeah, it's the same place. It's close to the main road, with an adjoining street next to it if U r coming from century. Some bad ass girls used to be there in the 90s and 2000s when I was still in the game. Chai, I remember Happiness 😁. But now, na skanks full there according to reports from my boys on the streets like powered .

It's still there? Amazing. He willed it to a child of his second wife, but the older ones of the first wife took it over, last I recall.

I lived in 1 Enoma, the adjoining street, so could watch from my balcony.

DrAkpa:
Is it that brown 1 storey building with art work of a lion on its front wall?

Got banned twice already, so here's for a 3rd try.

Kukutente23:
Without doubt the UK education has some advantages over that of Nigeria but, it does not change the fact that Nigerian system is modelled after the UK's. Neither does it remove from the fact that UK education is much more commercialised than Nigeria's.

You are deflecting, and not engaging with the questions I asked you!

The argument is not about modelling or commercialisation or not, but about quality. And it's very obvious that unqualified and untrained youth corpers can not model trained teachers even in Nigeria not to talk of UK.

For your information, education in UK up till secondary school is tax funded and will cost your children nothing even if you have no income to be taxed. Whereas, free education in Nigeria is not what I'd wish for myself or my children.

Kukutente23:
I think you're simply making excuses for the abuse of democratic system. Most of those who are at the top of the ladder in our democracy are highly exposed and enlightened individuals, some of whom have been educated in the best schools in your UK and even US.
Yet we have seen our democracy being debased by them.

You make me laugh. You see that last sentence? It shows you lack understanding of how democracy works.

Your leaders are not the ones responsible for making sure democracy works. It is the duty of those who elect them, us, to hold them to account and ensure our leaders follow the democratic principles, and if they don't, we vote them out.

And that's why you need an educated electorate. You can't hold leaders accountable if you lack the education and the understanding to hold them to account.

Kukutente23:
In Nigeria's lessons, the person voting based on wrong values is the victim of the system.

Wrong! You are not a victim if your vote is based on your own wrong values. You are actually an accomplice and a facilitator, and you deserve all you get from the system you we îgnorantly elected.

Kukutente23:
The predators are the beneficiaries of the wrong choices people make.

This is the reason whywe should be educated enough to elect the right leaders and hold them accountable.

Kukutente23:
But we have seen instances where the people chose to make strong statements with their votes then rigging and manipulation comes into play

So, we are not even sufficiently knowledgeable to ensure our vote is counted and the election is not rigged, and when I say we need education you refuse to accept and learn?

When you stub your toe on the ground, do you refuse to learn to lift up your feet when you walk too and blame the ground for your toe stubbing, or do you accept the ground is teaching you to lift up your feet so you don't stub your toe?

Kukutente23:
If democracy educates, why do we have a high rate of regression in terms of democratic practice from 1999 till now

We, have a high rate of regression because we have not yet learnt how to practise democracy, obviously. And if we don't start learning we'd still be wailing in 2099. The choice is entirely ours.

For your information, democracy in USA in some form or the other started in 1630, and they are still learning.

maigemuu, is it true you said that indices are "only valuable for students in schools and writing exams", and are of no use anywhere else?

I missed that part.

In a notice to customers sent via email at 6:42 p.m. on Friday, the refinery said the suspension would take effect from Sunday, September 28, 2025, citing the depletion of its crude-for-naira allocation.

You moniker is very appropriate.

There was an ashewo house on Ago Palace Road who used his ashewos as fringe benefits.

He died of Aids, and his children squabbled over his house and lost it all.

obayendo1010:
100 percent in support of dangote, PENGASSAN you can do your worst, Nigeria and greedy unproductive, unnecessary and unwanted union.

Odd thing is, this is an attack on Nigerians, and it will damage our economy no end.

But hey! We Nigerians don't mind if dollar becomes ₦5k.

So, go on PENGASSAN! Destroy the goose that lays our golden egg.

Apogee14:
However the woman is the most adaptable creature. When she gets over the shock that the life of pampering is over she rolls up her sleeves and starts to work very hard. She ditches all the entitlement. However now she has no use for the man too and kicks the broke ass out of the house 😅😅

I'm posting this from a different thread to add to your point.

budaatum:
I think there's a problem with where you've been looking, and I suggest you look elsewhere and wider. Perhaps start from inside your own mother's home, and come tell us she brought nothing to the family you were brought up in to.

As a point, a man and woman met at work. He was a lawyer and her boss, while she is an accountant. The work had a no married couple policy, so they decided the wife should resign. But when she told her boss, he informed her the company is doing a review, and would likely need accountants more than lawyers, so they reconsidered, and he resigned. The company eventually got rid of half the lawyers it employed.

Since then, like 20 years ago, the wife has been bringing home all the bacon, and the husbands contribution has been providing a roof, which he is able to do because his father has property.

They have 3 children that the man says bother him when he is watching Man U. He does not help them with their school work, nor engage with them much, which his wife has to do when she gets back from work. And when night comes, he wants to fuq, and she, being a Christian who believes its his entitlement, lets him.

They moved to UK last year, because the wife wanted to do her masters, and they now live in a house bought by her mother. She studies and works, while he still sits on his lazy ass watching Man U!

Now tell me she brings nothing to the table in marriage!
