Romance › Re: Poll: Suggest What Next We Should Do To Deal With Nigerians After Fuel Hike by budaatum: 3:28pm On Oct 10, 2024

You should suggest a tax on breathing. Every Nigerian must have a meter connected to our mouth and nose, and an app should measure how much air we intake so a tax bill can be sent out to us.

Also, introduce a pîss and shît bill to tax us for pîssing and shîtting. And consider a fuq bill too. Again, meters and app to measure and bill.

All these will increase internally generated revenue, and therefore increase GDP.

Nigeria go better!

A growing group of Muslim voters in Georgia say they will not back either Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump in next month's election because of both candidates' support of Israel amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Education › Re: Is Nairaland A Den For Thieves? by budaatum: 2:17am On Oct 10, 2024

Nairaland is not a den of scammers. We here are far too smart to let scammers form dens amongst us.

Scammers do come here and try scamming, but they are often quickly rooted out and leave because Nairaland is not profitable for them.

On that note, I would commend the moderators and all the dedicated members for their tenacity and diligence in keeping Nairaland safe. You all will reap a thousand fold what you have tended here. And would someone please rub seun's head for me for creating Nairaland in the first place.

You say to him when you see him tomorrow, "dude, you really knacked that wife of your's real good yesterday. You knacked her so well that all the neighbours had to listen to you knack her".

If he has any dignity, and regard for his wife, he might turn the volume down.

If that don't work, record his noise and play it whenever he walks past.

Politics › Re: Nigeria Is So Misgoverned by budaatum: 10:21pm On Oct 09, 2024

93 million Nigerians were registered to vote at the last election and only 9 million elected our president. 20 million in total voted while the rest sat on their asses at home.

The result of that blatant irresponsibility is people crying that they have only ₦50 in their pocket and their children are hungry. And my only hope is they live long enough to vote another day. Because that is how you will vote out "wicked, insensitive, callous and evil minded" governments and elect those who will make our country better.

Sorry op. I have no sympathy for you. And I almost want to hate you for starving your only daughter, except that I can't put the blame of 70 million Nigerians, who did not bother to vote, entirely upon you.

Someone with more sympathy than me please help feed this person's daughter. Though I can't help but wonder why he bought and has data instead!

From my long held beliefs the excerpt of which I showed you ,can you prove anything wrong?

Everything about you is wrong! Nothing about you whatsoever is right! And you prove that by being the nuisance that you are. Just that you haven't got the ability to reflect and see yourself.

Judge Barrett might as well be talking about you when he said:

“At bottom, this case was about your corrupt conduct and how no one is above the law,” he admonished Peters. “Our system of government can’t function when people in government think that somehow, some way, the power they’ve been given is absolute in all respects. And that’s where you fell. You have no respect for the checks and balances of government. You have no respect for this court. You have no respect for law enforcement.”

You have no respect for anyone here and even much less respect for yourself!

Wait. Where did you see $2 a month? I think I'm getting cheated. I just checked my sub.
It's $4 for month for the 1st year. It's $25 a month after that. They gave me a deal to stay after I was going to cancel because of their nonsense articles the last year, to I think $12 a month. Should have done that much much earlier. But if you saw it for cheaper, going to call them now.

I meant £2. But they do that. Give different subs to different folks, and is why I cancelled my Wapo sub. They offering £1 a week for a year to get me back, and £4 a week thereafter. But when I click resub it is £6 a week thereafter, and is why I use my library app to read their stuff for free.

But I think this is a currency difference. NYT is £2 for me for 6 months, and £12 a month thereafter.

And Judge Barrett, before sentencing, told her:

“You are no hero. You abused your position, and you’re a charlatan who used and is still using, your prior position in office to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again.”

Nairaland General › Re: How Australia Became A Major Player In Global Coffee Trading by budaatum: 6:19pm On Oct 09, 2024

I've always wondered why coffee is not grown in Nigeria. Or should I say I never found it growing

You got any idea?

Coffee was introduced to Nigeria in the late 19th century, and the country began exporting it soon after. The Nigerian government promoted coffee cultivation in the 1930s, and production peaked in the late 1960s, mid-1980s, and again in 2006.

Thanks brother. I’m still in Asia, covering some countries there but I will definitely cover Nigerian railways once I return to Nigeria.

Please follow my channel and help me to share. I’m planning on merging the distance between Nigeria/Africa with Asia by showing what obtains in both soon.

Show panoramas please. That view you were looking at from the train will inform more as I've never been to Asia.

I don’t want to sound biased in anyway, so I have posted the video of India’s new and old trains.

You do sound biased! You showed Indian train, and to be sincere, that long one with open doors reminded me of molue in Lagos, but what you failed to show is how efficiently they run or don't, and how many people they move a day, and you disregarded how clean the stations are, and we just about noticed the fan above your head that made it seem you were waiting in the first class section of the station though I bet you weren't.

Basically, I am accusing you of not sufficiently educating me about the railway system in India, and you haven't posted anything about railway in Nigeria so I can compare.

I'm not going to hold it against you though, because its not like you had a huge production budget, and I know you will one day grow this into something to be admired.

Personally, and as far as railways go, Nigeria hasn't yet begun to get where India currently is.

That's odd! What happened to your thread?

kingkelvin2033:
Has Anyone Thought About This? Can't We Write Books, Novels and Non-Fiction in Pidgin English?

How about we write our own books in our own language?

Did you do no research at all before you posted this your thread?

Sozaboy: A Novel in Rotten English, by Ken Saro-Wiwa, is in pidgin.

The Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola is in pidgin.

Ògbójú Ọdẹ Nínú Igbó Irúnmọlẹ̀, by Daniel O. Fagunwa, is in my own native Yoruba.

And I'm certain there are loads more.

What does get me about these sort of threads however is that while you lament not writing in our own native language, your lamentation in your own post is in English. Do you not see the dissonance in not writing your post in your own language?

Personally, I'm glad you wrote in English, and not in pidgin or your own native language unless it is my Yoruba. Because, if you had, I wouldn't have read it. I'm even pissed off that BBC patronises me with pidgin instead of assuming my school fees were paid in full and I paid attention in class.
