Nnamdipapa:
Go check my footprints and you will see me criticizing Obi several times.

I would have executed Nnamdi Kanu if I were Buhari. I despise Ojukwu for the Biafra war and have been vical about it as an ardent student of history.

You see where I am coming from?

Not everyone is a tribal bigot like you brah!

Not every Yoruba is a tribal bigot neither, and there is nothing called an "average Yoruba" or Igbo or Hausa or etc, since everyone is unique.

People in cold climates rejoice that the 4090 has helped them reduce their heating bills, while those in hot climates are complaining their aircon is overworked. So, a 5090 might have to be placed in a freezer in Naija, I'm thinking, or we can perhaps reengineer it to convert heat to electricity.

Nnamdipapa:
Now, to the cruz of the reason for this thread, why does an average Yoruba feel criticizing Tinubu is tantamount to a tribal insult to the Yoruba race?

You see that your "average"? To me it screams ignorance, and is an attempt to hide your own bigotry that you are trying to impose on others as if there aren't many Yorubas not only criticising Tinubu but daily insulting and heaping curses on his head.

Be Obidient! Vote for Obi! I am Yoruba.

His wife was a rabid anti Trumprr.

Is that why she blew her husband up in a Tesla in front of dump tower?

bukatyne:
Your story doesn't add up.

According to the OP, she started monitoring your phone 6 years ago.

Upon enquiry, you said you were married 11 years ago.

Meaning she started scouting 5 years into your marriage. Then how did she start since university?

So what turned your wife to a detective from the 5th year of your marriage?

Good question!

deluckiest, what did you do to make your wife start monitoring your phone?

Are these all you?

gambling is very big curse oo. I wonder why I sold all the things that I own. Even a phone I can no longer afford. In the morning I was hungry and begged 500 naira instead of me use it buy garri, I told myself why not double it nd have a proper meal now i have lost it and my hunger continue.
Truly I am in a deep shit

Gambling is not a curse! It is something you chose to do and didn't stop doing and now its got you in trouble!

Fortunately for you, you are getting ready to beging to heal yourself, or you would have continued lying to yourself that it is village that made you choose hunger over gari when you know it is you who told yourself to choose hunger.

Thankfully, that hunger will teach you.

abba190b:
Its not my fault I am certain my village are behind it if not I would have stopped since

You keep irresponsibly lying to yourself that its not your fault but your villages fault.

If you don't take responsibility and accept its your fault, and go and seek help at a gambling addiction clinic, you'd be posting 'kidney for sale' threads eventually if you don't first turn to armed robbery and kidnapping, which I wouldn't be surprised to find you've turned to already.

They will eventually be conquered totally as being done in other middle eastern countries that were once Christians.

You obviously know nothing about UK. If you knew how almost impossible it was to impose Catholicism on UK after they had decided them no want, and how difficult it was to impose their own home made protestantism on its people, you wouldn't be here falsely claiming Islam is being imposed on UK.

I can just about see gay pride reacting.

I'm posting this for boasting rights, knowing many had it much harder and tougher and had to do a lot more than I did.

budaatum:
My life back then when I started going in 79-80, was selling 5 boiled eggs for ₦1 or canned Coke for 50 kobo at Lagos-Ibadan Expressway tollgate from 8am to 6pm on Saturdays during term and Monday to Saturday during holidays.

Money earned went to buying school uniforms and shoes for me and my 4 siblings, and I'd make extra for myself by buying eggs and coke cheap off the lazy sellers and selling it after selling all mine.

Motor tyre will roll over my pre-teen foot often while I chased the bus so they don't run off with my money which they sometimes did.

Before 79, like in 75, ma would buy too much orange at Onipanu market and put some on mine and my older cousins head to go sell on the streets of Obanikoro. I was not yet 10 and sold only few of mine, but I think she sold lots because punters were buying a look at covered tits.

Factcheck0001:
so what will he b eating for d 2 years he's learning?

He already has a job. It pays him 85k a month, he can continue buying food from that. The apprenticeship is like Sunday school. He can attend after work and weekends.

I think some of you think my suggestion of mechanic or computer mender or photo etc were to make him an expert in any of those skills, when in fact, just changing oil, which he'd learn in month 1, for his friends and those they recommends, if done right, could likely earn him 85k a year. And that's not counting transferrable skills he'd find more marketable and profit from in the future.

Perhaps consider my suggestion as a seed. You never know how big and productive it would be until you grow it and it produces fruits so you may see.

papadivi:
Yoh, that's the truth. Play along first. However, when they transfer money to you, don't be in a haste to check your account balance or open your app. The scam is in you checking your balance, using your correct pin, which somehow gives them access to wipe clean your account.

So, when they send you the money, use a wrong pin deliberately the first time. This cancels what ever pending request they sent.

It takes two to tango. This bird has learned to fly without perching. 🤣🤣🤣

Those poor missing hunters.

deluckiest:
we've been married for the past 11 years. I can't really tell why she's doing it. But it started when I was in the University and warned me not to have any female friend. Guess, she's feeling insecure.

11 years and she hasn't found anything incriminating on your phone yet?

If so, consider her a blessing, and continue as you have. You'd appreciate her more when you celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary.

And yes, she's doing it because she's insecure. And your trustworthiness is her blessing, and the fact you are not a pig.

bluefilm:
But why would you suggest mechanic job for him?

Mechanic job is not for the faint hearted at all

It is a very tedious and highly technical work

Only those who really have passion for fixing cars should go into mechanics

It is not recommended for someone who is looking for how to increase their earning power, within a few years

And it's true, mechanics don't earn that much

It is mainly the well established ogas in the business who are earning quite a lot because of years of experience, expertise and referrals

I am an engineer but nothing on this earth will make me go in mechanics!

I suggest that the OP go into businesses like solar and computers

Did you miss my "Do note, other apprenticeship opportunities (like computer mending, or photography etc) may exist and be more up your line"?

I suggested an apprenticeship because becoming rich is not for the faint hearted, and learning mechanic will teach him a skill, which he lacks, and show him the hard work required to become rich, which he'd need even if he decides to take your advice and go into business.

Please see telim's post below regarding his rich mechanic.

telim:
your are wrong those that fleece there customers are often poor because they hardly get refferals or recurring customers due them being criminal minded.
My mechanic is not in any high brow area and it is difficult to locate is shop as first time customer. He relies mostly on refferals and recurring customers but one thing is certain with him if you follow is advice your engine will last for a very long time.

Have being using my car for 5 years plus without any major engine problem due to his advice. This is the main reason we all like him. Things like car scanning is free and he also import original benz part and engine oil from abroad.

And Blitzking's who listed other things one can apprentice in.

Blitzking:
Learn bricklaying
Electrician
Pop...wall screeding etc
Phone and laptop repair
Fish farming
Poultry farming
Tiling
Photography..a very lucrative job
Keke driving if u are street..just look for hire purchase and learn the street rules
Barbing...not expensive you can learn in 4 to 6 months and become a pro
Aluminium
Dry cleaning
Catering...small chops...shawama..pizza
Carpentry and interior design
Data analysis if u are into tech
Programming..time no too dey for u..u need to start earning fast
Pos stand
Tailoring
Making shoes
Look for anything g you can buy and rent
Snooker stand..Once u ahave started making money from other sources you can have it by the side
Food stuff business..but u need family support for this one or good savings.
The list is endless...hustle while you still av energy..time is going bro.

LordBiden:
But I have never seen a rich mechanic.
Except for the abroad based ones.
And the trade is not for the weak.

And who told you you might not one day be abroad? Or that it is the mechanicism I am sending you to learn?

But I guess I can now clearly see why you are scared. You are weak, meaning you are lazy and not willing to learn to work hard for your future, which is what the mechanic I suggested will teach you.

There's a car mechanics near you. Go and ask if they'd accept you as an apprentice in your spare time, you'd pay.

Do it for at least 2 years and the future will scare you much less.

Do note, other apprenticeship opportunities (like computer mending, or photography etc) may exist and be more up your line.

No need to argue. UK is already conquered by those from Islamic countries.
They only have themselves to blame. It's not really my business.
We shouldn't shouldn't pretend about it. Change is constant, so if the UK prefer that kind of change there is nothing we can do about it.

UK is the land of Darwin and evolution. It constantly changes just like every where else. But UK is not conquered by those from Islamic countries, and you have not provided any evidence that it has been.

Even Christianity that had once conquered UK has been defeated, as UK evolved into a more secular society, so why would you think they'd let themselves be conquered by some other religion?

There is no need showing you evidence. Their presence are seen in UK and all European countries.

UK is almost conquered now.

I used my special eyes to look on UK road, even took photo of a London bus, and can therefore safely inform you that there is no presence of anyone in UK telling anyone in UK, who, if not that its winter 2⁰ would be wearing pant and bra on the streets, that they should wear Hijab.

And since I can't take your word for UK that I can see with my special eyes, I'm unlikely to take your word for Europe unless you are actually there or can see Europe with your own special eyes.

Merry100:
I was just pulling your leg. The "eye of the needle" that the verse refers to is an entrance in Jerusalem. Camels can only conveniently pass through it without a load on their backs.

Many pastors are well-traveled and enlightened in several areas. Information like this should be so common so that we will not just assume that the Bible encourages poverty.

Some pastors must have loads on their backs or they might not need planes to carry it, I'd have thought.

Tesla is the world’s largest battery-electric vehicle manufacturer.

Bede2u:
that's great. Hope you realise though that this is an exceptional case. Which means it doesn't represent the norm

You asked for one and I gave you one, stop with the wiggle, I never said it was the norm. My point is, the oppression of women is cultural, though, and rather unfortunately, Abrahamic (and many other) religions outrightly promote it, or what's with the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man, considering God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them?

There are those of us who see the anti-hijab movement in Iran and America's my body my choice as the same anti-women oppression, note.

---Message by 'President Musk'---

Message to President Musk.

Tesla sales fell last year for the first time in more than a decade, as demand faltered and rivals gained pace.

The company, led by billionaire Elon Musk, delivered almost 1.79 million cars last year, down about 1% from 1.8 million in 2023.

This comes despite the company lowering prices repeatedly last year in a bid to woo buyers and hold on to its rank as the world's top-selling maker of electric vehicles (EVs).

China's BYD, however, looks set to close the gap after reporting 1.76 million EV sales in 2024.

The Shenzen firm's total vehicle sales jumped more than 41% in 2024, year-on-year, to more than 4.2 million.

In all hijab enforcement in European countries, there are large numbers of women advocating for it especially during protest.

Show me please, in which country in Europe are large numbers of women advocating for hijab enforcement.

A link will do.

9japride:
And many of them happily wear it in European countries.

And how is it a problem that some women happily wear what they want to wear?

Some do wear hijabs because their family compels them to, note.

9japride:
[color=#006600]I just feel the Japa to those European countries is all about conquest.

Actually, those who japad would inform you that their japaism has made them realise they were imprisoned in Nigeria and are now free. Buy I guess we ought to ask them instead of feeling up crap.

Candidlady:

Leave is not always the best solution, especially if there's kids.

She could train her husband to carry a bit more weight. She just needs to know how.

[color=#006600][/color]

The funny thing in all these is that when their women eventually travel to other European countries, they then start advocating for wearing of hijab and propagation of Islamic law.

Show me one European country where "their women", whom I think are glad to escape the oppression, "start advocating for wearing of hijab and propagation of Islamic law".

Even their own women in their country are protesting, you'd find.

tell me one Islamic society that gives women equal rights as men?

Tunisia is about as close as it gets.

• Men and women in Tunisia have equal divorce rights

• Domestic violence is illegal

• Abortion is legal for any reason for the first trimester

• Birth control is available over the counter.

• There is no law against not covering your head.

• Workplace discrimination is illegal.

Tunisia still has a lot of problems (being LGBT is still illegal, etc.) but in comparison to many other places they are doing very well. (Quora)

Christianity requires wisdom. Lazarus managed his life and still ended up in Abraham's bosom. Some of you are just like Lazarus; you are content with anything, even if it is not convenient, while some of us are like Abraham, we will enjoy life here on earth and still have some of you in our bosom in Heaven. 🤣🤣🤣 Or are all those pastors with private jets, while you don't even have money to buy a bicycle, going to hell? 😂😂😂

The Bible says, or rather and unless you got a talking Bible, it is written in the Bible that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God". So yes, the pastors are supposed to be going to hell, though I do have suspicion that "pastors set ridiculous standards" for others but not for themselves.

Thankfully, woe!

As for you. You make pigs cower

Ojiofor:
Focus on present day bro we nolonger live in the days of Mohammed.What is the condition of women in both religions today that is what matters.

It is not religion that oppresses women today. Just like then, pigs oppress women.

I'm posting this for the image so you have an idea what my focus is on.
