Amazing how ignorant many are here
The Chinese satellite story falling back to the earth was true.
I only made up about it landing where Arizona vote audit is taking place.

The satellite debris landed off Maldives . True story.

I got some barbs for reporting a factual story .

It was it landing on bamboo in Arizona that you got barbs for. Satellites falling to earth is not a new thing.

... If the same youths he is fighting for are really serious ba

Na the same Youths go still shout Atiku / Tinubu for 2023

I have to have faith that the youth will be even more serious than their parents because the youth you talk about will be my own children whom I am training, and if they fuq up as you think they might you must blame me their parent for fuqing up and not training them well.

Frontail:
... But this picture says otherwise

Hopefully, that picture is what the op is hoping to change.

He deserves support and not discouragement.

Abedfff14:
i am a young man in my mid 20's. And first of all, the youths must have a say.

The adults will not let you have a say until you fight them for the right to talk and be heard.

Not only must you not be docile, but you must know how to fight and win that right, and claiming "no youthful president in 2023 no elections .QED", is a clear indication of putting the cart before the horse since it is elections that will make you president.

Abedfff14:
no youthful president in 2023 no elections .QED

I hope you are a youth.

In order to become president you will need to run and be elected at elections, please note.

Lashist:

This is the result of you not believing and doing research.

You Sir, have made me proud.

Lashist:
Because it'd be bad i was arguing with one who believes in either APC or PDP...goodluck

First, buda does not believe because believe stops one from seeking understanding.

Second, buda does not do APC or PDP. buda is like Xi Jinping who does not care if the cat is black or white so long as it catches mice.

OdogwuEkeke:
The indiscriminate searches at the airport and having to always explain that you don't do drugs and not a fraudster nko!!!
To change this narrative we all have to do better collectively.

It's really not about being proud of your country, it's the images it carries. You and I know that Nigerians in the diaspora are on their own should in case anything happens!

I was once held back at Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport for everyone else to go pass so I can be searched for drugs and to ascertain I was not a fraudster.

I was once held back at Frankfurt Airport for everyone else to go pass so I can be searched for drugs and to ascertain I am not a fraudster.

I was once held back at Gare Du Nord Eurostar terminal in Paris for everyone else to go pass so I can be searched for drugs and to ascertain I am not a fraudster.

I have many times been held back at Murtala Mohammed Airport so I can be searched for drugs and to ascertain I am not a fraudster.

At every instant where I have been held back, I just present the image of the decent respectful person that I am and I end up being treated decently and with the respect that I demand.

My point is, while some bad Nigerians doing drugs and fraudster should not be a reason for all of us to be assumed to be rotten and bad Nigerians, we Nigerians must all be responsible and decently behaved so we can hold our heads high and demand the proper respectful treatment that we deserve.

Collectively, as you say, starts with me you see. I must do better then you will hopefully do better then we all might do better then Nigeria go better indeed. I can assure you that if I treat you respectfully here on Nairaland, you will find it almost impossible to not treat me respectfully in return, because not only am I proud of my country, I am proud of the amount of work I have done to make it impossible for intelligent people to disrespect me. But if I behave like an animal, we will all cage ourselves in a disrespectful zoo.

2elliot:
This is my problem with you, you don't wish things away simply by calling yourself the better person. You sort any issue head on before moving on to another.

I don't wish things away at all. What I do is first fix myself by removing the forest in my eye that would make me be an animal in a zoo, then can I worry about removing the twigs in others that make them behave like animals in a zoo.

You see, I strongly believe that if my good behaviour so shines like light before you, you might learn from me to let your good light shine before others, and one by one we will all stop being animals in a zoo and make a difference in our country. But if I behave like an animal in a zoo, you will copy me and become an animal in a zoo, and others will copy you and become animals in a zoo and we will all be animals in a zoo.

You might want to check if what I say is true from our conversation where my unanimalistic behaviour has made you behave and converse like a decent human being, which would not have bern the case if I had not turned the other cheek when you slapped me with the insult of falsely accusing me of hating others.

I faced 'racism' for the first time when I arrived in Nigeria from UK aged 7. I was one of two black kids in my class at Carleton Primary N7 London but my blackness was never an issue until I arrived in Nigeria and my fellow 100% black colleagues began bullying and calling me dudu.

Life can be funny like that.

There are indeed some people who would rather be slaves to lawless leaders than starve or fight for their freedom, there are also those who would rather die than be slaves.

We learn this in the story of the Garden of Eden where stupid Adam refused to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil for fear of dying and chose to remain naked and enslaved in the Garden of Eden, while smart intelligent Eve chose to test with her own senses if she would surely die or not and so plucked and ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil and found it good for gaining wisdom and her eyes opened and she freed herself and Adam from naked slavery in the Garden of Eden and became self employed and responsible for providing their own food instead of relying on their leader who kept them ignorant and poor and enslaved. And they did not surely die on the day that they ate but went on to live till a very ripe age of 930 years old.

The question is, which are you? A fear of dying citizen willing to be enslaved by "economic conditions" and fed by lawless leaders, or a powerful lawful lead and feed yourself Nigerian?

You should perhaps learn from Kunta Kinte who would rather have his foot chopped off than be a slave.

Lashist:
Yes its happening right in our eyes...the lawless politicians that are above the law use poverty as their tool to gain followers that votes for them and turn a blind eye to their lawless attitude. Everyday a law abiding citizen changes because of economic conditions and the will to survive..in the course to survive, lawfully abiding citizens become brainless and ignorant and will asslick anything for money. Thats why you see alot of zombies in the frontpage hailing bad leaders...what do you call that?? Were they born brainless or did they changed?? before i continue sef...pls what's your tribe, religion and what party do you support??...i think this alone will determine how i should see you..someone up there just said you hate igbos so make i check your ideology before we continue

I do not believe you are ignorant because if I did believe you are ignorant there is no way you will understand a word I intelligently write and I will be wasting my time.

That said, yes, I am trying to influence your thinking by providing you with an alternative for you to consider, and if you find it to be superior to what you previously thought, abandon what you thought and adopt superior thinking.

That is how you will be showing you are educatable, by abandoning wrong thought and adopting superior thinking., and that is how we will know you have been correctly led and qualify to lead others.

Please join the Nairaland Democratic Party once you have learnt to become the change you so much wish to see.

2elliot:
You see what I have been saying...you are trying to gaslight me into doubting my own reasoning, to question my own rational mind. You believe I am uneducated so I lack the ability for logical reasoning, even though I already said I am not allowing big big grammar and my education to stop me from seeing your hate for the Igbo. But you are insinuating that I lack the ability to grasp my own reality. This is the oppression I wrote of. This is worse than murder and physical slavery, it is mental(the very being of my existence). If I should give in to your grammar and use of education as standard for my understanding of reality, I will be doomed.

gregyboy:
Is this what you call history theTranslator, history written with influence of expired weed

The clue is in the word. His story, and not my story, or your story, which is what your opening post is.

For example, there is a story about some white person discovering a River Niger, but if do your own research you will find that some people were living by this River long before the white person claimed he suddenly discovered it.

Once you understand that fact you will stop believing stories and learn to write your own story with some credibility.

If I behave lawfully and you behave lawfully and most Nigerians behave lawfully, explain to me how we will stupidly not elect one of us lawful people to lead us and then ignorantly go and elect an animal as our leader please.

Do you think we lawfully behaving people can suddenly become brainless and ignorant so a lawless animal can influence us and be elected by us into our leaders office?

Lashist:
If you behave lawful and your leaders behave lawless, what happens?? Lol...you still dont get what's happening...only you dont have a say on how the country should move...if all the influential persons are lawless and these lawless persons are still voted into offices, if you like be lawful from now till eternity, nothing will come out and this is what makes people leave the country because they dont want to be part of a country where terrorists and kidnappers move freely, polithiefians arent probed even after they are caught, security agents think they have power to your life anyday anytime and will tell you they can shoot you and nothing will happen and when they shoot you, they are shielded by the govt because the govt knows their hands arent clean...there are so much evils...being lawful won't change the anything to the system and you might end up joining the bad citizens like omeka, ngene and co...instead of joining them, its better one leaves the openly corrupt system to maintain sanity. A country that tells you cows should be protected over human lives should be called a zoo...keep sugarcoating it you hear . You stay in a zoo...if a policeman guns you down today, there is a high probability nothing will happen to that policeman..not even real investigations..sorry bros, you stay in a zoo . But you saying another country should not allow people into their territory just because they realized naija is a zoo is even evil but you know what?? You are already part of the system so we understand what you mean...thank God you arent God

2elliot:
Unlike you, I have learnt this one from you even though it is not new to me. Thank you. But I can't say the same for you, if you could love the Igbos as you love yourself.

I can not understand why you would think I would not love the Igbos, and the Hausas, and the Fulanis, and even the Ghanaians.

Would you like to please post a single comment from buda that makes you believe buda does not love the Igbos as much as buda loves buda self?

While you are searching, please note the below.

Ruthymoon:
You are a Ghanian an idiot ,your writing has proven your foolishness,

I se ile la gbe re ode.

Lashist:
Lmao ...the point of discussion is not even if you are an animal or not...the point is why is naija called a zoo?? Its because its lawless..at least you agreed to that ...why is it lawless?? Because our leaders who are the bedrock/foundation made it lawless not because of you or any average citizen..you have been vindicated...you can go

Nigeria is called a zoo because Nigerian you and I behave like lawless animals! If we behave like lawful decent human beings no one will call us animals in a zoo and we will not elect animals to lead us.

You see Lashit. Instead of irresponsibly blaming some leaders, I buda take responsibility for my behaviour and for leading myself so that even you can say I behave decently to the point that you get to confess despite your initial error that "you dont sound like a tribalist like others".

2elliot:
It is the pride for me. Everything on earth has its lessons man can learn from, even slow animals as you said. For someone like you, I learn from everyday the degree of man's hatred on his kind.

If you open your eyes you will learn from someone like me to love others as I do instead of ignorantly believing you are learning from me the hatred that is already abundant in your own heart.

But perhaps I have not yet taught you well enough so that you learn, so let me try again and pray you learn well this time.

Love one another! They that sayeth they are in the light and hateth another remaineth in darkness. Human Rights .

2elliot:
I am one person who is aware of himself, and so I do not get fooled by plenty grammar and education. I understand that plenty grammar and education will not stop the innate animalistic tendency of man to hate and oppress his fellow man. So, I can see beyond the smokescreen the hate in your eyes on the Igbos. And I am no fool to play the good one. Until you are ready for commonsense and understanding, I will not deny my dislike for you and your ilk.

You are wrong.

If I was uneducated like you, I would be hating and oppressing you with my superior intellect and animalistic tendencies just like you have been attempting to use your uneducated animalistic tendencies to hate and oppress and shut me up, but my education has taught me to master my animalistic tendencies so that I need not hate, dislike or oppress you.

If you educate yourself, you too can rise above your own animalistic tendencies and not hate and dislike those who are not your ilk.

OdogwuEkeke:
These days, I just tell people I am from West Africa. It almost seems like if you say you are Nigerian you are an endangered specie

I am proud to say I am Nigerian. I love proving to others that I am not from a zoo, and I take much delight when people notice I am not an animal.

I am yelling!

Lashist:
Though you dont sound like a tribalist like others..you are a good boy but you sound a little slow...let me tell you..the only way to teach someone is by example..if your leaders are good enough, naija won't be called a zoo..if the leaders act like animals and are lawl abusing, their followers will follow their ways

I do not need to be taught by others before i learn. I can be fast and mature and be responsible for educating myself instead of following slow animals to behave like animals, because if I do not behave like an animal no one will say I come from a zoo.

Lashist:
If your leaders obey the laws first, they will be able to punish anyone that disobeys the law...the zoo description starts with these leaders

So you must be punished first by your leaders before you behave lawfully?

Please let me know if I must punish you.

Lashist:
Sick way to talk...i dey reply to your statement...is naija a lawless country?? Yes or No?? Can your leaders go against the law and not be brought to book?? If you cant answer that, just keep your mouth shut...nothing dey your head

Are you not lawless Nigerian Lashit making Nigeria lawless?

If Nigerian Lashit you behaves lawfully, will Nigeria be lawless?

Is it your leader that is making you lawless or is there just nothing in your head to enable you to lawfully lead yourself?

Lazycapitalist2:
It is not a matter of what Nigerians call their country (a lot of Americans call their country a racist and inequal hell, yet they still get admitted into other countries , and they openly abuse their country in those other countries)...it is a matter of competition by foreginers, and of Nigerians not obeying the rules.

The rules say 'No foreigners in retail' . Yet, Nigerians ignored the rules. Now the rules are about to be enforced.

No body likes rule breakers. If we Nigerians obeyed rules in our country we would not be calling ourselves animals in a zoo.

2elliot:
There is nothing new under the sun. People have done this your kind of hate, some swore they were doing the lord's work hating on their fellow human. Some believed it was the right thing. But all is vanity. Like as we were nothing before we were born, we become nothing when we are gone. But our actions may leave lasting impressions on generations to come.

It amuses me that you can not see that you are accusing me of your own hating.

I strongly suggest you open your eyes so you may see yourself for what you are and "find a cure for your ailment", because anger and hatred are destructive to those who are angry and hateful.

2elliot:
I would have loved to tell you an effective herbal cure for your ailment, but my anger is kindled against Yoruba, as your name indicates. Even though I have met a few good ones, but their hate for Biafra angers me a lot. For now just chew bitter cola and tom tom together. When I am in a better mood, I will send you a picture of the item you will use with original honey to treat it.

Lashist:
Shut up your foolish mouth...Nigeria is lawless that's why its called a zoo...if it isnt, prove it and stop saying rubbish because of frontpage..so if a sensible person thinks its hard for him to stay in naija because of how useless our leaders are, other countries shouldn't accept such person just because he considers his country a lawless place and dont want to be part of the lawlessness..your are one of the stupid reasons why we have bad leaders..we should not reprimand our leaders so other countries can accept us

How can I prove to lawless Nigerian Lashist that Nigeria is lawless when you are Nigerian Lashist being lawless? Or do you not know that it is lawless according to the Rules Of Nairaland:

2. Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES.

Please learn to lead yourself to be unlawless

budaatum:
When will we Nigerians become responsible and lead ourselves to make our country better instead of asking some other to lead us?!

Are we not aware that leadership starts first inside our own individual selves, then in our individual homes, then on the streets we live on, then communities we live in, then our society before country?

Can a leader lead my mouth if I can't lead my own mouth myself?

This is why I speak to them in parables", a very wise man once said, so that those who have mouths will see that what I lack is not taken away from me!

iomoge2:
Hello
For a married woman who never changed to her husbands Name, would she still be Ms or Mrs?
I find it weird being called Mrs...... (fathers name. )

2. When filling forms do I say Married or single since I am still using my fathers name?

You will be whichever you choose to be, either Mrs or Ms Father's Name, the choice is entirely your's. People will not know however so you may find you must inform or correct them on the right way to address you, and you might need to tell story about how you are not married to your father and how your husband who's name you don't share is not your bit on the side.

Using your father's name does not unmarry you so the correct thing to write on a form is the truth since the untruth would make you seem untrustworthy once you are found out

Klass99:
Old enough to know that, ideally when you divorce you should revert to your maiden name. What are you keeping the man's name for? Especially if it was a nasty divorce, abi person no get name before im marry?

I'm also old enough to know that, realistically you may need to keep your married name on certain documents for official purposes, where reverting to your maiden name may create new challenges for you.

Budatuum, how old are you?

Old enough to know that some may not know what I might know and to therefore be kind and respectful.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Wait Is minute I don't get this.

Are people still mocking Biden's speech in 2021 when it was ineffective in 2020 during the campaign and 81 million people still voted for him.
These people are clueless truth be told. Biden must be doing well if this is what they are still parroting for over a year then they have nothing concrete to oppose him on.

My thoughts exactly. Their obsessed posts are now sounding like they are praising Biden for being a normal imperfect human being like all the rest of us unlike the super maga perfect drumptf.

2elliot:
If you know how fleeting life is, u will humble yourself. Men have traversed upon this green planet, some exhalted themselves to god status. They conquered worlds and built empires. They believed so much in their achievements, and boasted they can never fall. But death humbled them all. And their achievements turn to follies. You hate on Biafrans will only last your last breath on earth.

May you be cured of your inability to see that I am not stupid enough to hate people because of their tribe or race or colour or religion or sexual orientation, and that my one pet hate is ignorance, which I absolutely can not stand especially if it is wilful as in self chosen by an individual as opposed to the result of their conditions.

Nigeria kwenu!

benalvino2:
Basilico look at the media explanation of Biden's Nword

This is the sort of post you post that makes PrideofLincoln1 respond to you the way he does. I wish he wouldn't, but I understand his frustration at you sometimes. If I was immature I might respond the same way. Such juvenility, which you hardly display when quoting me I must say, is annoying, and I believe you are capable of greater intelligence than this
