Oshigun: You guys should stop this blanket political correctness against all Nigerians and learn to call a spade a spade.
Specifically call out those guilty of the part in bold above for this behaviour here, i.e Igbos, and stop condemning others who tried to do what you said.
The two comments below were the first to set this thread on an ethnocentric path.
The parts in bold below are incendiary and condemnable so have the balls to condemn directly and stop tarnishing all with the ethnocentric brush mainly Igbos deserve to be painted with.
If you check my comments, you'll see where I condemned the first guy you quoted. Regardless of the tribe, they're hundreds of those guys doing this stuff on Nairaland and this on thread. You don't expect one to quote all of them.
If you quote them all, it will result in an endless circle of argument and the thread will be derailed. It's really annoying when you come to a thread to have a decent conversation about the topic only for those bigots to hijack it.
Why can't we just talk about the issues these people raised and leave tribe out of this. Out there, they don't care what part of Nigeria you come from. You're all Nigerians to them. The earlier you people of Nairaland understand this, the better.
allcomage: An average Igbo hates oppression, fearless and will always defend his rights. The Only tribe that has the guts to push for seccesion in the zoo while others stand akimbo looking confused.
I trust stupid people like you to turn this beautiful thread into a tribal war.
budaatum: I think I'm going to stop now because I am getting emotional and feel like I will go and kick some mans ass but one last thing. You see that Messiah you all call Jesus Christ that you worship everyday? Dear sweet Mary put her tit inside his mouth and a brain inside his head, for though you may not know it, nay you most definitely do not know it, It was she who read Isaiah and taught her Son to read, so that when he was on a mountain and a demon tempted him, he was able to conquer it with, "It is written", and now He sits with your Lord God saving your ignorant asses while you worship him, forgetting the mighty oven that He was baked in.
@the bolded, don't worry, it's nature. The feel of your write-up as though you were screaming. Calm down. I would love to engage you in logical conversation to counter some of your points, but It don't think it's worth it, from the way you responded to other people who tried to do the same. You seem opinionated and dogmatic, and I've learned to just listen, nod my head, and move on when it comes to these people. You've got a pen flowing with ink, try to write things with less chauvinism. At the end, we both need each other in the society; male, female.
uuzba: In Purtugese, Spanish German, Swedish, Italian, ... Each of the words of those terms has its own meaning. They didn't translate from English... They formed the words themselves, because their scientist did all their science in their language. Their native languages are technical. Nigerian Native languages are NOT technical. We do not have technical, scientific terminologies because our tribes and kingdoms did not develop UP TO that level. Here is the oldest video I could find on youtube. It goes back up to 1897 --- I did not say, 1997, I said 1897. 124 years ago.
And they had already made: 1. Camera 2. Film 3. Movie - then used the camera to record their street lives You can see paved roads, NO POTHOLE, Concrete Story buildings, STEEL works, WHEELS for carriages. COAT AND TIE, SEWN Dresses. They were already doing these long BEFORE they Invented the camera to take the pictures. Which one were we doing in this region of Africa? None. We just did not have the technical advance to do things like these. And our languages did not have technical words for things like this either. And till date, our languages still do not have these technical terms because still aren't doing any science. The best bet is just to steal a word from English language then mispronounce it to sound African. But the word is not in any local dictionary because we've not even written the dictionary.
Perfectly written. You're very correct. I wonder what happened to Africa, qnd why they weren't able to advance technologically.
I believe these are technical terms, and they do not change most times. They remain the same in most languages, but they might be tweaked a little bit.
sapphiere: This is a public forum. If you can't stay the heat leave the kitchen.
I aired my view and it shouldn't be your busy. You don't buy me data.
Don't tell me what to post and not post.
His message was simple, stop derailing threads with your opinions, and believes. You can post your stuffs where it matters and people will respond accordingly. You will be banned if you continue to spam the forum and stir controversy like many other monikers before yours.
thebosstrevor1: So they could only get 3 pictures from these so called big wet market.
You will be shocked that that so called wet market is just one small shop like that but with your camera, your writeup and the type online media this news is printed on, in this case, dailymail with massive following can turn something of insignificant to become significant in a matter of hours, then come the deceiving headlines to cause panic and fear.
Are they trying to tell us that they will soon poison that small shop with their man made viruses so that they can infect people living there and then make a vaccine to make money
You're probably right about every other thing, but your first statement shows you didn't click the link for more details.
Slynation: This your mentality will only lead you to kirikiri prison one day, so you trying to say he's not qualified enough to be among the winners? or it's only ghosts that eventually emerge as the winners, sometimes just clap for other people's success and move on with your life, it won't take away anything from your bank account...Anyways I know most of you do this things on NL just to draw attention to yourself, well you have been noticed!!
If you roam the phone section well, you'll know that the op is a notorious liar. The event took place and there were winners, but it wasn't the op.
mike404: THE LORD MADE IT POSSIBLE BRUH, DONKEY DOES NOT HAVE POWER ON IT OWN TO SEE THE SPIRIT OF GOD. BOTH EVIL SPIRIT AND GOOD SPIRITS ARE FROM GOD. HE CREATED GOOD AND BAD.
Well, I've made my point. And I even gave you a personal narrative.
mike404: BALAAM STORY IS JUST A PURE MIRACLE OF GOD, READ THE STORY VERY WELL BRUH
Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it.
Can you read the bolded. The donkey talking was a miracle, but the donkey saw the Angel out of the blue. Animals have this ability.
mike404: ANY BIBLICAL,QURANIC OR SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM
I have personal claim to this, but let me give you a biblical one first. Remember the story of Balaam in the Bible, where his Donkey saw an Angel and refused to move further. I think animals in general have the ability to see things, because they're generally innocent and can't make meaning of the things they see.
I've seen dogs suddenly run towards a particular spot, like it saw something, and barking continuously at that particular empty spot, running around in rage and looking fiercely at that particular spot. I saw noting, but I'm sure the dog had seen something very unusual. It couldn't have been snakes or rats, as this particular spot was just empty. It was as if the dog was looking at something.
Very accurate! Do you think history can repeat itself, and maybe an highly populated city like Lagos, or part of Lagos, could be deserted after thousands of years?
Mars16: True talk. When I saw this post I wondered the same; could it be they migrated,died and left those feats for a generation that didn't care, conquered or began to chase other countries civilization while they left all behind in their country.
It could be one of these things you mentioned. They probably left to explore other parts of the world. Back then, they didn't need visa to travel, so they could be massive migration away from a particular place in search of better life, food, and water.
Rossnitti: Bro, so you think that house you live in now will be around in 2,000 years time?
If it's continually renovated, what will happen to it? Are you saying 2000 years time Lagos would be covered in sand? In Rome, there are still buildings of over 2000 years standing.
I've always wondered why these ancient civilizations abandon sites, cities, and buildings to the extent that they get forgotten in the sands of time. Ethiopia and Egypt are two counties with majority of its history buried in sand.
MeghaneMorgane: You're getting me wrong. I'm not pretending I don't like him. Like I said, I already organised some fun activities we both can participate in when he comes. But I don't want to come across as liking him too much so that he doesn't begin to take me for granted. I'm just being cautious.
Do you think he doesn't know you like him already? You have already showed you like him. Restraining yourself will be weird after showing him you like him. It's a big turn off for most guys. Just be yourself, be normal, but so don't over-do things. You'll be fine.
Geopex: Sold my coin last week Friday when the price was up and i kept the money in NGN wallet dea , patiently waiting for the price to go down so that I can buy and keep again.
Nice. I was doing this with Eth, but when I sell it goes even higher and I end up regretting why I sold. Sometimes, when I buy, it dips even more. So I've just decided to just keep buying and holding, for my sanity. I don't want to be checking prices every minute.
Geopex: Good one, i ensure i balance it all, at a point in time, i must have cash with me, have money in my bank acct, have money virtually tru bet9ja, now with luno. All can only disappear if the earth wanna collapse and the owner goes down too.
Geopex: How? Bitcoin price is high now and i decided to withdraw from the naira i kept in my wallet to test if the ban is effective bcuz I don't seem to understand all these move from Fg. At my own will to buy Bitcoin from luno if the price become low.
Okay. I thought you took out your coins. This might even be fake news.
Geopex: U don't have idea of how much I have with luno, i withdraw the money to test if they will credit my bank acct . I have invested with a bank for yrs, highest interest i got from them is not up to 11k. So i decided to move my money to luno.
It's good, the investment in crypto. It's not very wise to move all your money to crypto for easy liquidity.
