We have unfortunately adopted a bad reputation for ourselves by over promising and under delivering.

Thankfully, the individual Nigerian can still build a good reputation for oneself, I find.

of all skills.. it's mechanic. Can you ask your blood to go learn mechanic. Be honest
Yes. I have asked my bloods to learn mechanic (and other skills). One actually wanted to be a taxi driver, and another was year one mech eng in uni, and it stood them good in the end. The mech eng is currently seeking a learning opportunity with a car manufacturer in China.

I've asked people to learn many skills, especially in their youth when they have more time to try things out, and have recently arranged for a 14 year old blood to go learn lawyer for 2 weeks during the holidays to see what it's like since that's what she wants to be when she grows up.

Its about the skills and experience, you see. You never know where they might come handy or transfer to, I find.

Like clockwork, Republicans are on track to ruin the lives of older Americans. Just like they are known to do.
Always ready to dismantle good measures put in place to protect vulnerable populations. Guess who’s going to benefit from hiking up the price of insulin for older people on Medicare? Definitely not the working class.
Covid showed millions of Americans can die and the president gets a second term.

Pretty much like Nigeria voting APC after 8 years of APC if you ask me, and shows people can be turkeys or don't know what they vote for.

Will be fun watching them find out though.

Jakumo:
Nigerian politicians flush with hard currency don't patronize government-subsidized NHS medical facilities in the UK where the poor and middle class join ques lasting many hours to visit overburdened doctors.

Those super-wealthy Nigerian politicians pay pounds sterling for PRIVATE hospital care in London's Harley Street area, which 80% of the UK population could never afford.
Tinubu recently went for care at Saint Mary's in Paddington, which is a NHS hospital, and King's in Denmark Hill, a NHS hospital, admits international fee paying patients at £500 a bed a night (2016 prices).

They do both have private wings I do admit, and Tinubu was not served NHS, but the same doctors serve both private and NHS patients in both hospitals.

That said, the article is talking more about emergency arrivals, and it's not as dire as is being made out if Nigerian standards are considered where more die.
HealthRe: Patients Dying In Corridors As UK Hospital Standards Collapse by budaatum: 3:07pm On Jan 16, 2025
We can rejoice. The UK health system is now so bad that there's no reason for our rich and politicians to bother stealing our foreign currency to go buy health there.

All we need now is a thread claiming the UK universities kill students, and Nigerians wouldn't be coming to buy university neither and will buy made in Nigeria instead.

Maybe the army in UK does not have physical requirements but in the US and in Nigeria they do have strict physical requirement for recruitment and to be in combat fitness. If you fall below they tell you to get back in shape

The army does not take fat slobs in the first place, You must meet a minimum physical requirement to join the army

Go to the website and see pictures and videos of men and women in grueling physical training.

40-pound kettlebells and 60-pound hex bar is 18.144 kilograms and 27.216 kilograms respectively, and no where near the weight of a shot comrade not to talk of if a fat slob.

You're not too bad. The only issue I had with you was being judgemental at first. You don't know me, you don't know what I have been through. Its bad to judge, especially strangers.
At the same time I learnt something from you i.e. Not to put sexual pleasures before personal development.

It, unfortunately, being the first book our Nigerian ancestors learnt to read, every Nigerian should read the Bible and the Quran too, and Things Fall Apart and Fela Anikulapo and Soyinka etc, because you got to know the crap you they fed you to wean yourself off it.

I think farmers and farm workers should be allowed to carry guns on their farms for protection
The problem you are trying to solve is insecurity, and insecurity is caused by joblessness and the lack of opportunity and greed, and guns can not save you from the hungry and the desperate and the greedy they create.

But the more serious problem I see with your proposed solution is, armed robbers more armed than you will come to steal your arms. Your guns are after all going to be more valuable to some than whatever you were growing and protecting. So gun crime will surely increase the more guns the criminals have.

Perhaps its time for state police, I'm beginning to think despite my past fear of a strong man controlling the force. More police legally carrying guns will increase gun protection perhaps, though it will not eliminate the hungry and the desperate and the greedy who will be amongst us until cured.

CrimeRe: Should Nigeria Legalize Gun Ownerships To Reduce Crime? by budaatum: 6:20pm On Jan 15, 2025
I hope not! Some people on Nairaland might shoot people for not agreeing with them.

I do know one country where gun ownership is so allowed, so I AI'ed.

Gun violence in the United States has been increasing, but in 2023, the number of gun-related deaths decreased. However, gun violence rates remain higher than before the pandemic.

Gun-related deaths
In 2023, 43,163 people died from gun-related injuries in the United States.
From 2010 to 2020, gun-related deaths increased by about 43%.

In 2021, 48,830 people died from gun-related injuries, which was an 8% increase from 2020.

Gun-related injuries
In 2023, nearly 100,000 people were wounded by guns nationally.

The District of Columbia has the highest rate of gun injuries, while New Hampshire has the lowest.

Gun violence among children and teens
Guns have been the leading cause of death among children and teens ages 1-17 for four years in a row.

The gun homicide rate among children and teens decreased by 3% in 2023, but the overall gun death rate for this age group nearly doubled over the past decade.

Mass shootings
In 2024, there have been more than 488 mass shootings across the US.

A mass shooting is defined as an incident in which four or more people are injured or killed.

TheGreatIyaebe:
Domestic violence remains a significant issue in Nigeria, with numerous tragic cases where husbands have killed their wives.

Nigerian men are noted for lack of emotional control and a prone to jealousy when their wives are successful.

Below is a list of these animals killing the innocent Nigerian women.

1. Peter Nwachukwu: In April 2022, Nigerian gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu died, allegedly due to domestic violence inflicted by her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, who was arrested in connection with her death.


2. David Ochola: In October 2016, in Hennepin, Minnesota, USA, David Ochola shot and killed his 28-year-old wife, Priscilla Ochola, before calling 911 to report the incident.


3. Olubunmi Abodunde: In May 2024, in the United Kingdom, Olubunmi Abodunde was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his wife, Taiwo, with a skateboard.


4. Ovye Yakubu: In January 2022, in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, Ovye Yakubu allegedly killed his wife, Esther Aya, following an argument over hiring a carpenter to fix a window in their residence.


5. Muhammed Alpha: In January 2022, a 57-year-old man, Muhammed Alpha, was arrested for allegedly stabbing his wife of over 20 years with a knife over the ownership of a door made from zinc.


6. Emmanuel Chigozie: In 2022, Emmanuel Chigozie killed his pregnant wife over a minor disagreement.


7. Wisdom Joseph: In 2022, Wisdom Joseph allegedly strangled his wife, Evelyn Alifiya, to death.


8. Unnamed Nigerian Man in Georgia, USA: In June 2021, a 34-year-old Nigerian man attacked his estranged wife's parents' home in Douglasville, Georgia, USA, killing her and his mother-in-law before taking his own life.


9. Unnamed Nigerian Men in the USA: Between 2006 and 2008, ten Nigerian women, eight of them nurses, were killed in the US by their partners—shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death.


10. Unnamed Nigerian Pharmacist: In July 2010, a Nigerian pharmacist, Olufemi Oladapo Ademoye, was arrested in Tampa, Florida, for the murder of his wife, Juliet Ademoye.

It's crucial for Nigerian women to on the guard and careful. I sometimes wish there could be a war so these men can be sent away. We need to reduce their population .

May God save the women.
