Celebrities › Re: Ooni Of Ife Set To Marry Two New Wives, Weeks After Last Marriage by budaatum: 4:40pm On Oct 07, 2022

What an amazing and important priority for a Yoruba king to have. This is sure to give him the impetus and energy and time to make his Yoruba kingdom the great kingdom it is destined to be. Next week he'd marry more to increase his productivity, no doubt.

Oh! And before you quote me, consider the below please, and my shame at Ife being in my Osun State.

Christianity Etc › Re: I'm Slowly Becoming an agnostic! by budaatum: 4:34pm On Oct 07, 2022

I'm going to advise you to read the Bible, and when you're done, try the Qur'an too.

Not believing is like Jesus' becoming as a child, and nothing opens eyes better that not believing what one is told and looking with one's own eyes instead.

You'd be like those placed in the Garden of Eden who ate the fruit they were told would kill them but did not die when they ate it. Their eyes opened instead, and they gained wisdom, and freed themselves from naked slavery and became self employed and lived for 930 years and then finally died.

The issue here is he seems to be trying to do all the work himself with no help from the House of Reps nor the Senate nor the governors nor we the people, and this will not ever change until we Nigerians become responsible for our own enrichment and employment, and hold our reps and senators and governors responsible too.

Hopefully, we'd consider this at the next election. But in preparation, go check the work of the US House of Reps and the Senate, and compare it to our Nigerian ones and you might see what I mean.

Christianity Etc › Re: What Excuse Will You Give For Disbelief???? by budaatum: 4:10pm On Oct 07, 2022

I don't need an excuse for disbelieving. I in fact should commend myself instead for disbelieving.

For if I'm told I'd surely die if I ate a thing then ate that thing and did not die and lived another 800 years, I believe I'd have to be very stupid to not disbelieve that eating that thing would kill me, especially if that thing is good for food and for opening eyes and for gaining wisdom.

Crime › Re: Christian Woman On Trial Over "Blasphemy" Of Condemning Deborah Yakubu Murder by budaatum: 3:56pm On Oct 07, 2022

This is not published in any mainstream news outlet! Is that because Christians can not get her proper legal representation or what?

A case for illegal detention should have been filed somewhere, and it hurts that light is not easily overcoming darkness in this case.

Incidentally, a search for Rhoda Ya’u Jatau on NL shows this is the only post about her!

No. By being being here alone, you're already making millions for Seun. You can't pay him to make money for him.

Yes I can pay him to provide a better user experience. And if he makes billions in the process, I'd personally be delighted for him.

He serves himself small is what I think. The almost 3million users he has managed to gather here are equivalent to the population of a Nigerian state. And if he had the right support and advisers around him he should be a contender for at least the House of Reps or the Senate, with eyes on state governor and perhaps someday on Aso Rock itself.

You are a good man. It's good to give back always. However, Seun is settling for less and scared of changes. This platform have been like this for ages.

Poor seun.

It's a great pity. If the platform refuses to grow, it would eventually die.

Seun should consider going public and list Nairaland on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. He'd get a proper management structure that would help him evolve the platform.

That's what the Zuckerbergs and the Dorseys do, and I'd love to say the Seuns too. He'd be more of an inspiration than he currently is if he does.

And that's why I am willing to pay, so I am not seen as an abuser of anything free, but mostly to support Seun's wonderful work of which I have benefitted for many years.

I'm beginning to think a "get a refund" company can be set up in Nigeria. We can charge 10% or 1000 Naira, which ever is greater, of any funds refunded.

Any takers?

What If ?

But what I want us to concentrate and deliberate extensively on is that; what if Peter Obi wins and fail to live up to expectations??.

Peter Obi is asking us all to work with him and labour for our own expectations, so if he fails, it is we who have failed to work to achieve our own expectations ourselves.

He is not a messiah asking us to let him save us, but a person asking us all to bear our own crosses and save Nigeria from the imminent misery and death that the others obviously offer.

Good innovations, at least let twitter make money small, sometimes I wonder how mark Zuckerberg, tiktok owner and twitter and google and YouTube owners are not the richest people in the world considering the millions and billions of people using their platforms every second of the day.

Maybe, the need to employ a typical Nigeria man to help them make money with their app successfully.

For instance, if they employ me:
1) Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube will be running on subscription based, or limit important features for free users to subscribe.

2) Chatting or posting would be calculated based on #1000 words for #1 naira or 0.20 cents for dollars and pounds users.

3) Calls or video calls will be minimally billed at a very low cost connected directly from your bank. Like 10hours of calls should be charged at the rate of #5 naira and it's equivalent to dollar and pounds respectively.

4) Money making button for content creators and be split by percentage of 20/70, a win win.

5) National and international easy and fast Fund transfer buttons, work with banks to make it possible, then take our charges.

6) Business accounts would be charged more, personal profiles will be charged something close to none.

Lastly
7) Bans are subject to paid approvals, depends on the offense . Lol.

Perhaps we should all beg Seun to hire you here first.

I guess we can return to class for 7 days, file the appeal, and strike again.

Of those 7 days, 2 would be used to clean the classroom, 2 waiting for students, 1 saying hello to students, then there's Saturday and Sunday, making 7.

The fact that you are shocked at how long I've been here goes to show how dumb and stupid and lazy you are. Most people would have done such simple research ages ago, but see yourself!

Family › Re: What's Is The Cost Of Having A Child In Nigeria? by budaatum: 2:46pm On Oct 07, 2022

NerdyAboki:
I was wondering [how] much of your income you side aside for your child monthly to cover
- healthcare
- feeding
- education
- clothing
- & others (like diapers etc?)

I set aside 50% of my income for my children. It used to be 70% of my income then I got a substantial pay rise that reduced it to less than 40% so I upped it to 50%. My partner who earns a lot matches my 50% plus some too. They are our biggest investment.

Do note that my response is intended to point out the absurdity of your intelligent question, since how much anyone spends on their children depends on how much they earn, and how many children they have, and the quality of life and life opportunities they wish to provide for their children.

That you ask before having said children is however very highly responsible and commendable of you. Most would have them first and then find they have not got enough income to rear them.

16 years whiling away here and you are still getting mocked.
You need a reboot.

See how you refuse to use your brain. Why should I hate the Seun who has opened his home for me to freely enter for 16 years, when I can very easily hate you instead for your inability to use your own brain to reason?

And why don't you post a link to "Where an OP wanted to banish you with flames of fire Can't delete because you been quoted" instead of asking anyone here to take your ignorant lies for anything?

As a kid The Great Fela told us suffer suffer for world, amen, enjoy for heaven, no be today una done they suffer for obodo Nigeria.

Nothing is new in Nigeria, as much things change, they tend to remain the same.

You'd say nothing changes in Nigeria if you were a kid who hadn't lived long enough. Those who have lived long would tell you how much Nigeria has changed over the decades.

Even just here on Nairaland, you can easily observe change in Nigerians. Just you go look at your own very first posts on the site and you'd likely see Nigerian your very self has changed quite a lot.

Saying that though, you very well might be one of those who never change and continue to commit the same errors you've always committed hoping you'd get a different result to the result you've always been getting. I hope I'm wrong about you though, and that you do have the ability to learn from past mistakes and then change.

But with the kraken you constantly post and the fact that you consider hearsay as evidence and are willing to post a video full of lies as said evidence, and going as far as believing Sidney Powell who doesn't even believe herself, only fools would consider anything you have to say about anything, bas.

Sorry for you Obidients, a tree does not make a forest, Peter Obi is not winning any presidency in Nigeria.

Perhaps you think there would ever be one election for presidency in Nigeria. We realists know there'll be 2027, and 2031 and beyond, and by then your suffer suffer would have reached the point where you'd be begging Peter Obi to preside over you.

As for "a tree", hopefully you are not blind to us numerous Obidients joining Obi's tree to make many forests around you. I'm very certain that if it were your preferred candidate getting the attention and support Obi were getting, you would be dancing in joy to Aso Rock already. But we Obidients would rather wait till after the elections, then shall we hopefully dance.
