Nonsense.

You are not in any way making any sense by mentioning my mother for no reason that is acceptable.

Ultimately,my mom is not happy,I am not happy and your posts are not beneficial.

ekerensima:
Amen!!! I dey see the results of ur prayer God bless you

HellVictorinho:
It would be very stupid of me to love someone like budaatum.


Ultimately, the problems in the world can't cease since people like budaatum exist.

You should have reconciled the verses of the Qur'an with the characters of the followers of the Qur'an.
Are they doing according to the Quran verse I quoted or not ?
The answers is yes.

Nigerians generally lack empathy at issues they think doesn't affect them, they will mock struggles of others till it affects them, someone like Nelson Mandela will have been accused of having victim mentality by Nigerians

Let's not forget Nigerians mocked BLM protests only for them to come out to protest against SARS, they will quote Thomas Sowell for others but understand discrimination/oppression when it's about them

The new testament is anti women.

Women in Christianity(new testament):
- Keep quiet (1st Corinthians 14: 34-35)
- Don't teach men (1st Timothy 2:12)
- Submit to your husband (The most famous, hehe; Ephesians 5:22-33)
(Had to run away from xtianity)

Women in/of Judaism/Old testament :
- Given authority (Judges 4-5)
- Prophesied( Exodus 15:20-21; 1st Chronicles 25:5-6, Judges 4:4-5; Isaiah 8:3,4 ; Kings 22:14; Nehemiah 4:14, Megillah 14A)
- Defeated Enemies in war (Judges 4-5)

Dear oga,

You are your own problem.

1. It isn't a must to do a wedding with ₦1m if you aren't worth it. People should learn to avoid pleasing onlookers by feeding 6000 people. The wedding is supposed to be a day of joy for you both, not for people's stomachs.


2. I noticed you have a thingy with gender roles. You are a man. Your wife is still your responsibility. You refused declaring your salary to her but is quite inquisitive on what she earns. How na baba?

Coming to the part of she sending money to a male friend, I understand you are hurt because it's a male attached.

But have you tried to understand her?

Are you always seeing yourself as right?


What's the big deal if you pay the shop rent, then, you guys build your communication thingy well?


The communication flow is broken.

Marriage is not a football match you play for halftime and retire, or you get a small injury and decide to walk out because you feel you are the chief captain.


It's a forever course...and the moment you realize this, the better for you.


I see a good wife you have there trying to stand on her feet without your support!


Treat your wife well so she'll be more opened to you.


When you start keeping secrets, trust don yapa. Some men who don't want to disclose their actual salary still tell their wives sth.

If I have a fiancee I had already paid for her dowry, I wouldn't have minded setting up the shop for her.

Afterall, she is going to be my wife.

You let her family support her when she needed you.

You mah no know say any money you spend for wedding don go? You for small invest for her business na. People wey don chop plenti plenti food that day don shit your money finish.


To think your marriage isn't up to a year is quite disheartening too.

Build your beautiful marriage, bro.

Ignore these frustrated sets tagged as redpillers here trying to project their failed lives to you.


Marriage is a gift from God.

A sum of N691.07 billion constituting 6.7% has been allocated to the Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Education in the 2020 national budget.

A UNESCO report recommended that 15 to 20 percent of governments’ budgets be allocated to education.

Electrical Tomatoes

The emboldened is about the only bit of this that got my attention but I notice it caught no one else's.

"Price controls"! It means a product is kept at a price set by government, and in Nigeria, we know it's kept low and very likely beneath the cost at which it can be sold at a profit. Like petrol really. But we can at least claim a reason for petrol with our crude oil and our ineptitude at running refineries. Electric though!?

Imagine it were tomatoes. You invest in land and fertiliser and labour and grow them, and when you get them to the market, government sets the price. I'm absolutely certain if that price is higher than the cost at which you grow your tomatoes, you wouldn't mind much. You'd likely be delighted if it's high enough for you to make a tidy profit. And if you're fortunate and the price set is so high, you'd likely invest in more land and more fertilizer and more labour and grow even more tomatoes. But this is Naija, where the price set by government is more likely to be way below your costs so that after you sell your tomatoes, you would have lost money.

Now think, you lost money on your tomatoes. Are you going to plant tomatoes next season? If you're into the charity business or you're stupid, you just might. But if you're not and have rent and school fees for your kids to pay and you want to eat and pay the interest on a loan I very much doubt you'd be stupid enough to throw your money away growing unprofitable tomatoes!

Well, that's the case with electricity in Nigeria I'm afraid. You generate it, transport it along unreliable transmission wires, lose a large chunk of it to illegal use and theft and what you do get paid for does not cover the cost of producing it. Now tell, would you plant electricity next season? I very much doubt it unless you're into the charity business or you're stupid, of course, but somehow, I just can't imagine you'd be either.

So, what's the solution you might wonder. Increase the price of electricity of course. But come on people, increase the price of electricity so electricity planters can earn more money and plant more and sell more? Surely you must be cursing me by now, or haven't you noticed you'd have to pay more for my electric if you want it?

Ok, perhaps you're all nice civilised folks and don't want to curse me so let's try a different way of looking at this. Imagine Buhari removes the price control so I can sell my electricity at a market determined price like I currently sell my tomatoes no doubt at a profit high enough for me to want to plant more next year. Are you cursing me yet? I'm sure you would be if it was the subsidy on petrol I were talking about removing. Hell no! You'd likely stone me if you could get your hands on me!

Well, that's what this piece is saying where it says "The private sector is given little incentive to invest.” After all, I'm in the electric planting business for the money and the profit and not because I love you all as Adam Smith would say, so why give you light if you aren't paying me for the priviledge! And you wanna complain you're in darkness?!

When you pay me enough to cover my planting of tomatoes after paying for the land and the fertilizer and the labour and the interest on a loan and cover what I lose to theft and illegal harvesting, and still make a tidy profit to reinvest, I will plant 12000megawatts of tomatoes and I will sell 12000megawatts of tomatoes and even more megawatts of tomatoes than you can eat even because you would be incentivizing me to invest what you pay me in more land and more fertiliser and more labour to plant more tomatoes so I will have more tomatoes to sell you and make more money. But if you want cheap electric, keep your price controls and don't incentivize me but don't expect me to waste my time labouring in the sun just so you can have light because, like you, I ain't that stupid nor into the charity business!

Anyone cursing me yet, because I am telling you, we are too cheap!

It is the same Qur'an that says :

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled."
(QS. At-Tawba 9: Verse 29)

What love do Muslims have for their neighbours?
It is the above sura abive that dictates what Muslims do to non Muslims .
Did their prophet show love in his lifetime ?

Hadith
Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri:
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was distributing something, a man came towards him and bent down on him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck him with a bough and his face was wounded. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: Come and take retaliation. He said: no, I have forgiven, Messenger of Allah!.

This tweet here is why I don't do debates on racial matters, it's a waste of time, people will feign ignorance and not understand anything till it affects them, whenever issue of minorities in different places appear I mirror it with what happens in Nigeria and this same people who act ignorant tend to understand every of it

GalaticHorde:
a blind man sees by touch and sound, one of them(you) was taken to see an elephant, he asked to feel it and by happenstance held it by the tail, when asked what an elephant ''looks'' like, this blind man who can not see who held an elephant by the tail claimed it felt like a rope therefore it looks like a rope ergo an elephant is rope-ish! I just summarised your thread for you now you can clap for me

GalaticHorde:
our attention seems to be the highlight of its existence! Just imagine that I'd be so jobless as to create a thread to misrepresent what certain monikers discussed on another thread? that is exactly what surprised me, and discuss it badly at that to frame it in a guise that reeks of inate stupidity! Certainly it can't be that jobless.........................or can it?

shadeyinka:
I do not agree entirely with this view.

shadeyinka:
Yes, there are minor differences with ancient texts but until one can show complete revisions can on insinuate a corruption of the original text.

Secondly, the Bible was written not as a single book but as individual books by several authors spanning many centuries which was later compiled as one book.

In another forum, a Nigerian living in Nigeria talks about how Nigerians are more successful than African Americans because of education, qualification and culture. Other Nigerians tried to downplay his points with the jargons you will see in a screen grab below.
They try to argue that Nigerians have a clean skate while African Americans don't. You will see the reasons on the image below.

Another one tried to say white people are racist towards African Americans compared to Nigerians. Also look at the image below.

Can people discuss if this reasons are right?

It is a fact that Nigerians have more degree than any other race in the US and are the most successful black ethnic group as someone in that discussion puts it. I have checked and verify this assertion to be true.

We know the struggles African Americans went through centuries ago. Could that be a reason why whites tend to employ Nigerians over African Americans? Because their grand parents thought them about slavery in the past. Does this assertion make any kind of sense?

You take cretiness to a deeper level by misrepresenting my position.

Thankfully, not many are cretinous as you are.

The bible remains as it was!
It was understood by the general knowledge available then.
However, with better understanding of science, we can look at the scriptures with better understanding.

The scripture didn't change: our understanding did!
