Moral of the story is nigerians need smart intelligent people who know what today's world operates like to lead the country and not old exhausted individuals who's brains are already screaming retirement

Or, moral of the story is we Nigerians need smart intelligent people who know what today's world operates like to educate us like you did in your very insightful post.

And you didn't need to lead the country to do it.

OlaMiki:
Most of these lawyers are criminals themselves , they also aid and abeit criminals

Îgnorant too so the judge educated him.

Ruling, Justice Onwuegbuzie said the 1st defendant after his arrest being a counsel ought to know that he should file a bail application and not an oral request.

What's annoying is they'd have been collecting client money for years selling this nonsense.

Moral of they story they think they are making smart investments but they are not.

They really are not.

Why do they do this?

They may visit and live there.

Their children might migrate and live there.

They could rent it out so don't need to live there while benefitting from appreciation in stable countries they buy in.

It used to be a hideaway in corporations for looted money though not hidden anymore.

Etc. Etc. Etc.

How many European politicians buy houses outside of their countries?

Depends what country, but the answer is many. Especially the higher they rise on the international stage.

kingsavage:
Why is this thing common among African politicians?

Don't put us down please. Every continents politicians do it, just some are more open than others.

The below is not non-African politicians per se, but flavor:

Be happy it's not only the Pakistanis.

It was never only Pakistanis. The English married their cousins too till they got educated of the perils and stopped just like Pakistanis born here are marrying their cousins less.

It's evolution. But I don't expect you to understand the curative effect of Darwin in milk from birth, just as you can't understand that the Genomics Education Programme is but one of like 10000 education departments that make up the NHS, and not one of them dictate policy for UK.

Olaolar:
Why is it that, In Africa the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen. 😂😂 🚶🚶

It depends on your marriage and the type of person you are.

The type of man you mention above speaks and his baby children listen, but he never listens to them. Then those babies grow up in to adults and talk and he still doesn't listen to them, so they sometimes stop talking to him and instead talk to their mother who has always listened.

But for some, in the first year, and even while they are dating, the man speaks and the woman speaks, and the woman and the man both listen to each other, knowing their two heads will better benefit their family. And they nourish and foster well adjusted developed children who grow up to listen to their partners, and their neighbours have nothing to hear.

Its a choice you make to marry someone you regard and respect and can work with, or married the housemaid who's duty is houseclean and shut up and take dïq.

bayelsaowei:
Na wa.

But why are they even pushing for that in the first place?

The NHS are not pushing for "that", and you should know better than to believe a word that crẹ́tïn says.

We are a nation of facts and data and science.
We are not maga.

A spokesman for NHS England said: “The article published on the website of the Genomics Education Programme is a summary of existing scientific research and the public policy debate. It is not expressing an NHS view.”

The NHS guidance points out that the practice has been legal in the UK since the 1500s as a loophole for King Henry VIII to marry Catherine Howard, his ex-wife’s cousin.

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.

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.
