epainos:carry on in your ignorance. however , I want to ask you how many chinese can speak English properly, it hasnt stopped them becoming the 2nd largest economy in the world. If you have something to offer, the world will adapt to you the problem is not whether you say "tank" or "thank", in oth cases I understand what you are saying, the problem is most of you have nothing to offer. We make fun of the chinese English but we eagerly embrace them and do business with them...why? because they have something to offfer, that we want or desire!!! Focus on having something to offer, the purpose of language is communication. So long as we can communicate we are good. If you speak queen's english but have nothing to offer you will be found out and you are of no use to anybody. |
linearity:In this Nigeria? The problem with an inferiority complex is most who have one dont even know they it. Your problem is you are not qualified for the job. if you are good you are good, focus on being the best in your field and the world will embrace you. What you have described is like a beautiful woman who has slept around and complains she cant find a husband because she is beautiful. No the problem is you have slept around and no one wants to marry you so you conveniently blame your beauty and say it intimidates men. The reason you cant get a job in Nigeria has nothing to do with your accent!! |
olowoba2:when you think foreign accent is a thing of pride or a subject to consume your discussions and aspirations, have already lost the race before it started. For example, many Nigerian artistes tried to imitate foreigners before the advent of Afrobeat, they all flopped!!! it is only when Nigerian artistes started to be themselves and sing in their unique African way that the world embraced them. You cannot be more oyinbo than the oyinbo man, you have nothing to offer if what you are selling is not authentic but a copy. So be yourself, be proud of yourself, your accent, your culture and your heritage, stop giving yourselves foreign names or speaking in fake foreign accents or projecting foreign as superior, you are subconsciously telling yourself that you and your own are inferior and not good enough. if you reject yourself, others will reject you. there is no Nigerian artiste who has made in on the international stage with a foreign accent....remember that. Sunny Ade, Fela etc all sang in their Nigerian accents and projected their Nigerianness. And before you mention Sade Adu and the likes of SEAL, they were all raised abroad and are only Nigerian in name. |
inferiority complex and slave mentality on display!!! |
Atiku is really desperate. This thing pain am gan! |
Amount:What does tribalism have to do with what I said? I said the man is still in campaign mode. Who is the one who cannot see a simple statement and find a way to see tribalism in it? |
This one is still in campaign mode, interlacing every statement with “Possible”. The problem with Obi and why he will never be president is that he is opportunistic by nature and lacks a strategic mindset. The more he carries on in this manner (including portraying himself as the main opposition despite coming third) the harder it will be for him to form an alliance with the real main opposition the PDP. Without an alliance, none of them can overcome Tinubu and APC. |
brain54:My friend, if between your parenting, your church or mosque, your school and your friends you became an adult without a firm sense of certain ground rules of life, then there is nothing I can say on Nairaland that will make a difference. |
brain54:If you have a female friend your wife is not aware of, there is something unwholesome about the relationship. If you are friends with a man’s wife and he is not aware of or fully aware of the nature of your friendship, there is something unwholesome about the relationship. Full stop! You are not brought up well if you think as a married woman or man you can have platonic friendships with people of different sex that are not also friends to your partner or a relative. Does your father have female friends that is not also a friend to the family? Does your mother have male friends that are not friends to the father or the family? Nonsense! If you have a relationship/friendship so close to someone that you share intimate details and your partners are not aware of it, it is a signal, you should not be in that relationship/friendship. There is nothing like different interpretations of life. There is right and there is wrong, there is moral and there is immoral. “Different interpretations of life” and all that crap is what people say to justify bad immoral and wrong behavior. |
maasoap:You clearly do not understand. They are not supposed to be friends in the first place. How can you as a wife have a male friend that is not also a friend to your husband? Plus the wife, plus the so called friend are daft. The reason why a married woman is seeking advice from you a male whp is neither a friend of the husband or a relative is because she is daft or a poorly brought up woman without self respect to start with. If she had any self respect, you would not friends. So it is no surprise she has problems at home. Again if you were well brought up and had any self respect, you would distance yourself from married women. The only business a man has with a married woman is professional or as a friend of the family. Family means you are a friend to both the husband and the wife. Once a woman marries, her marital problems are not your business and you as a man should not be in a position where she can come to you. You should be worried that a married woman is confiding in you. I don’t know what kind of upbringing and values we have in society that I even need to explain this to people. Would you want your own wife sharing details of your relationship with strangers or running to another man every time you have problems? What is wrong with you people? |
bhella10:Very irresponsible statement by a man who aspires to be president. You tell prisoners we are all victims thereby indirectly absolving them of their criminality? What nonsense!!! There is a place for politicking. This man should hire proper advisers. Unfortunately his unintelligent followers will hail his comments without engaging their brains. |
DanielsParker:With due respect she is not acting right and you are not acting properly. Think to yourself, would you like your wife running to a man with all your marital problems, would you not feel disrespected? So why do that to another man? The only male a wife should take her marital problems to (if she must her problems outside) are a male relative or her husband’s closest friend. Note I use singular. A good wife has one, no more than 2 male relatives or her husbands’ confidants that she can trust with her marital problems, if they are such that need external intervention. Her marital problems are not your business and again I repeat you are disrespecting her husband. What goes around comes around. If she had any sense as a woman she wouldn’t bring her marital problems to you, if you had any wisdom as a man, and we’re truly her friend, you would tell her she is disrespecting her marriage and her husband by bringing her marital affairs to you. That is the acid test of your so called friendship. The minute you do she will stop calling you, but it is the right thing to tell her. So you see now that you really are not friends. Because you should be able to tell the truth to a friend without the relationship ending. As a man you have no business in another woman’s marital affairs, the only women that should ever come to you are the wives of your best friend/brother/s or your sister/relative. |
brain54:I am glad you said “had” because all friendships with women end. That is ultimately why you cannot invest in a friendship with a woman…it ends the minute she marries. If it doesn’t then she is not a good woman and you are not a good man. It is disrespectful of you as a man to carry on a friendship with another man’s wife, so the minute she marries your friendship ends. This is assuming you actually had a real friendship in the beginning because she was most likely using you and you most likely were harbouring plans to get between her legs. Ask yourself, how many of your so called female friends were unattractive? Women have men “friends” for different reasons, the one who helps her with her car problems, the one who takes her to club, the one who helps her with this the one who helps her with that. When a good woman marries, all her male related problems become her husbands responsibility and if she is well brought up and has any respect for herself and her husband, you will find out she stops calling you. The only female friends a man can ever have are his female relatives. Otherwise you don’t know the meaning of friendship. |
Brendaniel:All governments take loans. Attached is the financing plan for the UK HS2 (high speed rail). As you can see it is through borrowing. See also section 8 where it talks about govt subsidies for railways. Brendaniel:In your private space, calculate how much you made last year, multiply that by .2 (20%). Ask your self if you paid 20% of your income in tax last year. If you didn’t then you have no mouth to talk about tax. Most Nigerians do not pay the right amount of taxes. Finally the amount previously spent on fuel subsidy in just 1 year is more than the cost of ALL the rail lines in Nigeria. You said you wanted fuel subsidy so we had to borrow to build rail. The fuel you bought with subsidy has gone up in smoke, the rail is still there. You decide.
|
No big deal, public transport particularly rail is almost always subsidized and remains one of the most productive and efficient deployment of government subsidies. |
BigIyanga:And the one that you support that claimed he saved money while investing people’s money in his family business, how did that benefit the people of his state, the money he put in the bank when Naira was 160 to dollar, how is it doing now that Naira is 1250 to dollar? The road he didn’t build because he put money in bank as he claimed, can he build tha same road today with the money in the bank? Somebody built roads, and infrastructure and is still sharing rice. Somebody else did nothing, built nothing and shared nothing. Some people have roads and rice, some others have no roads and no rice….and no money so they are running to Lagos everyday. All of them their leaders looted the treasury. |
Please where is Dele Momodu. Because just like he did with Abacha, he tried to launder this woman as a saint. |
spencekat:This country is too hard, you Better Japa to uk and pay £54 for MOT, £50-£2000 (average£ 255) for road tax and anywhere from £500-4000 for car insurance…at least you onLy pay for drivers license once in your lifetime. |
sirpharrell:Hmmm |
They won’t tell you this on Arise news! |
So what was that Briggs man saying on TV? |
seunjungle1:Who are these some of una? Perhaps you should read my post history. When you start to give Tinubu credit for things that were gone by his predecessor, are you not as bad as the Obidients who have made lying their hallmark? Tinubu is a performer, he has indicated this by removing subsidy from day 1 and I have no doubt he will perform so you don’t have to rob Buhari of his glory to glorify Tinubu. Leave that to Obidients who have no track record to sell.
|
abdeefggh:Credit to Buhari. Give the man his dues. Tinubu has plenty of time to crate his own legacies without you crediting him for the work of others. |
FreeStuffsNG:Well said! It’s about time the African starts having some self respect and seeing the white society and culture for what they are. Largely a bunch of degenerates and a danger to African society. |
Love800:It depends on the industry. You have to be specific. Ofcourse if you are looking for a job as a doctor, a lawyer, a pharmacist, an engineer, you need a degree. In IT nobody cares. Even in accounting you don’t need a degree, you can go straight to do your ACcA or ACMA. In most other non professional jobs (even in Nigeria) nobody really cares about your degree except to show you are educated and can think. |
Nice2023:It is a lie. Tax is tiered you dont pay 40% on everything, you pay only 40% on the additional income above the upper threshold . As you can see below. The 1st £12570 you pay nothing, the next £37700 you pay 20%, whatever you earn above £50270 you will pay 40%. So if you earn £50280, only £10 of that will be taxed at 40%. The rest will be at 0% and 20%.

CASTOSVILLA:I also wonder how SE leaders can plead for NNamdi Kanu’s release, a man whose mission is the secession, while at the same time complain that it is the turn of the SE to be president or expect others to vote for a Se president. I saw a video over the weekend where a prominent Ibo leader actually said Kanu is the greatest leader to come out of the SE since Zik and Ojukwu and the people of the Se hold him in reverence. Your leader wants to leave Nigeria and you are behind him but you want us to vote for you to rule Nigeria? Somebody please explain to me how this makes sense to the Ibo man. Let’s not even start on the utterances of Iwuanyawu. I don’t want to start on a Monday with tribal issues but trust me you make no sense to the rest of Nigerians and most of us don’t care anymore because we are exhausted trying to figure out the logic or thought process behind your utterances and actions. To us your actions and utterances are counter productive to your objectives. We don’t even know what those objectives are because they keep changing. Today you want Biafra, tommorow you want presidency. Yesterday you are in APGA, today you are in PDP, tommorow you are in LP. Look at the south east you don’t even have a single party you can say represents your cause. PDP, LP, APC and APGA all have governors. Trying to engage the SE on issues like Ibo presidency, Biafra, Lagos, sit at home, Kanu etc is futile because it is never a discussion that has any logical constructs and eventually we just say ok, “we hear you” because it is exhausting and always descends into the emotional and not the rational. You want Ibo presidency but you insult the same voters that can make it happen You want Ibo presidency but you want biafra You want development but you leave your zone every day You want development but you invest outside your zones You want Kanu to be freed but you attack your own zone with sit at home and UGM. You say your zone is underdeveloped but you never question your governors. You claim you want to live peacefully in Lagos and other zones but you attack and insult your hosts. You build illegally but you want to be compensated for building illegally Just make it make sense! I don’t mean to insult a tribe but it has gotten to a point where no one even bothers when the Ibo man is complaining and this isn’t as for you because when you have legitimate issues, like the boy who cried wolf people may say it’s just the Ibos maki g noise again. This because your utterances and actions make no sense that nobody even cares to listen to what you are saying anymore. Many of us have that family member we love but don’t take seriously anymore but we have to indulge because they are family. The one who when you ask what are you doing, will tell you I am going back to school to do a masters or PhD, yesterday he started nightclub business, before that it was restaurant, before that it was a contractor, before then he wanted to be a musician. Every time it is something new, every time he makes no head no tail. The one who always brings in irrelevant issues at family meetings and drags on and on but you have to call to the meeting because he/she is family and if you don’t he will start moaning. It gets to a point that you were at the meeting simply by default and nobody was really listening to you or cares for what you have to say. This unfortunately is what the Ibo man has turned himself into. A caricature the family has to indulge. I say this not to abuse or insult but as a call for introspection. Your may see the logic in your actions and utterances but to the rest of us we don’t understand what exactly you want, you don’t make sense, your actions are counter productive to your stated aims and we are tired and have just left you to your devices. It may make sense to you but your utterances and actions do not make sense to us. You need us otherwise you would do what you need to do without us. So if you are not able to make it make sense to us your efforts are futile. You have a business plan but you need a loan. What you think of your business plan is your business. You will not get the loan until you are able to get the bank to see the viability of your business. Nigerians are tired of these antics, even recently the Nothern elders forum said let the Ibos go if they want to go. A few weeks later (last week) another prominent Northern figure Prof Jega called for Tinubu to restructure the country before 2027…that tells you even the North are tired! But Interestingly the Ibos have been quiet on that significant pronouncement. When the Ibo man is ready to be serious and articulate what his real issues are and act in a manner that is consistent with his stated objectives, let us know. In the mean time, the rest of us are learning not to take you seriously but to ignore you. |
1TrippleCee:This is not the days when a ticket was small change. Ordinary London a ti jet can cost you 2-3m. You have money for ticket to Canada or Australia and you cannot find a business to do with that money in Nigeria? Like you said some people simply have no purpose. |
YourKarma:The problem with you people is that you hardly know what is going on I your country talk less the outside world. Go and read up about how Ghaddafi help a firm grip on the. Region and what happened to his cache of ak47s after he was toppled by the west. |
phorget:99% of Ibos votes for Obi but me I am a tribalist? This is why I don’t engage Obidients. I apologize to you and others for breaking my rule. Since this platform does not have a block function, I will take note of your handle. Consider yourself ignored! |
YourKarma:Point at Fulani all you like, We have seen that the same hand contains the finger you use to point at Fulani, 3 are pointing back at you. We don wake up!!!! Fulani are not our problem, the herders causing problems are foreign refugees due to Libya collapse.

![]() phorget:If you voted for Buhari not just 1st term bu second term, then it is no surprise you are backing Obi. Buhari has antecedents, I was around when he was head of state we were on the streets rejoicing when he was toppled. He was an economic disaster then. Check my posts o have said it time and time again that 1) I have never voted for Buhari 2) despite the fact that I didn’t vote for him he performed well in certain respects however 3) economy has never been his forte and just as I predicted in 2015 he was an unmitigated disaster economically 4) I have also said many times that the image of a tough corruption fighter that people were hanging on to was a Buhari as a military man and that he cannot fight corruption as a civilian especially when he rose to power on The backs of Tinubu, Saraki Amaechi and co. It is the lack of brain function that caused you to support Buhari without examining his antecedents that is now prompting you to suppprt Obi because you don’t like what is on ground. Again I say if your supported Buhari twice as you claim and he brought so much economic hardship to the country try, shouldn’t you examine your criteria for choosing presidents after all you have failed twice. Check my posts I have said it many times I never voted for Buhari. I have also said I can never vote and have never voted for PDP. I also said that I was not so much in a upport of Tinubu as I was a believer that he is the best of a bad bunch. Least bad of a bad bu ch was a term I used before elections…check my posts. I have since changed my opinion and am very happy I voted Tinubu. But at the time the main reason I voted for Tinubu was because I knew an Obi presidency would be a disaster and PDP after 8 yrs out of office would be a cesspit of corruption. The point is if we examine our past voting patterns, it is clear I get it right more than you. Why? Because I engage my brains. Look I said I do not engage Obidients for a reason, you have used up too much of my time.you guys don’t think! There is no intellectual argument back by critical thinking that will lead a thinking man to support Obi. Except it is the time of the SE. the man does not have a record to run on. The Ibos who are supporting him know he was a disaster but they want an Ibo president, so they I understand. If you are Ibo I know your game, if you are not you have no brains. It is as simple as that!! Below is just one of my old posts https://www.nairaland.com/7197107/2023-some-unknown-persons-stole/13#114175703
