Car TalkRe: Those Who Learned Manual Driving, Was It Worth It? by Contango(m): 2:47pm On Jan 02
It’s like suggesting that one should learn to use the four figure table, so they can appreciate excel and graphing calculators!

Of what use is learning manual when technology has advanced to the point that manual cars are being phased out? Except you plan to be a danfo bus driver, of what use is it to learn manualhuh
I have never even seen an uber driver using manual sef

Christianity EtcRe: Praise And Worship by Contango(m): 11:19am On Nov 30, 2025
People often struggle to engage in praise and worship for two main reasons in my opinion:

1. The worship leader may not be carrying the tangible presence of God, making it difficult for the atmosphere to shift spiritually.

2. The people themselves may not be spiritually aligned. Worship is a deeply spiritual act, and because God is Spirit, those who approach worship in the flesh often find it tiring, uninteresting, or disconnected. When you look for entertainment and not a relationship with God, you will likely approach worship in the flesh.

RomanceRe: Evening Newspaper: Girls Feeling Pressured by Contango(m): 11:53am On Jun 23, 2025
Taquin:
This one is for the babes who are starting to question their worth because of what they see online. I turn 30 next Sunday, so I believe I’m in a good place to write this, not from a place of fear, but from experience and sense.

Over the last few months, I’ve seen some wild comments from men on Nairaland. Things like “after 7”, “evening newspaper”, “depleted ovaries”… you name it. But let me tell you: that’s not on you. That’s on them.

If you're feeling down because of these words, pause and breathe. grin grin. These men; the ones who use these terms. I’ve studied them. Yes, I went through their old posts. The youngest among them is about 43. 😂 Imagine a 43-year-old man online calling women expired. God forbid my own future husband is wasting his time typing such rubbish on a forum.
One even replied me once saying I should "rest". This is someone struggling to pay N150k school fees for his 8-year-old child and rent somewhere in the bush in Ikorodu. 😭 Another one, sleeping in the office Monday to Friday because transport to Ajah will eat his entire salary. We already had our third degree by 23 but one man from Ogbomosho thinks he would be doing me a favour by marrying me. These same people shouting “in saner climes” but the only airport they have seen is from watching James Bond movies. 😭😭😭

And these are the same ones screaming "I can't marry a 25+ year old, they’re too old." At 40+? You’re not even ashamed. Ato ole.

Ladies, these are the ones calling you evening newspaper. Do you now see that it has nothing to do with you? If you’re here and you’re worried about these people, don’t be.
This message is not for the real men who respect women and are just struggling financially. My message for you is: it’ll be okay soon, amen.

Now for the rest of us baby girls 👸🏽:
There’s a flawed logic these same men like to push. This idea of "100 women to 1 man". It’s a lie. Statistically, there are more men than women in Nigeria and in the world. You can Google it. They just use that flawed stat to make women feel desperate.
Let me say this clearly girls: angry
If you are not earning your own money, you have no business dating.
Once you start making money, your standards go up naturally. That’s why you’ll see Regina Daniels with a Ned Nwoko, but you’ll never see Temi Otedola with Dangote. 😏
I saw a thread the other day. One Nairaland uncle asking for advice on dating an 18-year-old. By page 2, he had mentioned giving money to her mother.
So please, work. Even if it’s small. Take yourself on mini-vacations within Nigeria. Join clubs. Play sports. I play chess. In fact, there’s no antichess player in Africa better than me. Just recently, I came 3rd out of 2,500 players globally in the Antichess World Championship grin grin grin grin grin. 💅🏽
I’m also starting Pilates with my girls, and I’m going to take standard chess seriously again. I want to become Nigeria’s first grandmaster by age 37.
So please my girls:
1. Buy good skincare.
2. Learn how to do your makeup — Mac, Fenty, Lancôme… get at least one.
3. Look younger, stay fresh.
4. Don’t ever beg for transport fare to go on a date. 🙅🏽‍♀️


Don’t settle because some man with a “Akungba university 1984” ID is calling you names online. 😭
Look at Asa Asika. Look at Davido. Look at Toolz and Tunde. Real rich kids marry close in age because they’re not looking for desperation, they’re looking for a match.
Take your time. Don’t lower your crown. Someone will love you fully with money, respect, maturity, and peace of mind.
There’s someone for everyone. Just don’t rush because of what these agbado philosophers are saying on Nairaland grin grin grin. 😂
Remember:
When they say “You’re too old,” just remember, The only thing outdated is their mindset which expired after Jonathan’s first tenure. Stop explaining your standards to people who’ve never met them.
There’s a man for every woman and yours will see your worth without needing you to shrink or beg for it. cool cool cool
So to every woman reading this: You’re not behind.
Evening newspaper still has breaking news.
Bye baby girls
You might have a point up here…but you’re still an evening newspaper whether you like it or not. cool

U are the unintelligent one... neymar and mbappe took psg to Final and semi .... Messi joined and they cudnt again ... he left and mbappe took them to semis , now its dembele that's running it
Did they at any point ever face Madrid and man city? Don’t forget that PSG with Messi managed to win ManCity. Real Madrid were just too good at that time and they ended up winning the UCL
SportsRe: PSG In The Champions League Before Lionel Messi Signed: by Contango(m): 8:59am On Mar 13, 2025
Not only did Messi leave, Mbappe and Neymar also left. Were they the problem as well?

Also, can you compare the quality of opposition PsG faced when Messi was there with what the currently faced now?

It’s very easy to spot unintelligent losers D;
PoliticsRe: Shocking!!! Yahaya Bello Has Significantly Reduced! (pictures) by Contango(m):
Benbellamor:
A smilling Yahaya Bello was Captured in the Courtroom today while he was arraigned in a 110 billion naira alledged theft case, but the once chubby white Lion now looks slimmer, exposing the restlessness he might be going through while hidding from EFCC, with his arraignment, he might later get the benefit to sleep well and recover from fear so as to build his once chubby stature back.
They are even putting fan for him. My friend! Somebody should remove that fan there!!!

saphiere:
If a woman is not mentally and physically fit for it, why were they recruited?
Na wa for your reasoning o. If they were recruited, they have the option of applying and qualifying for the infantry division from which army chiefs are made. But no! Women don’t want to join….but they want to be army chiefs by gender equality. Naija girls version of federal character. grin

Mind you, I’m not some kind of misogynist. I have very intelligent sisters and they don’t reason like you to be honest. No offence intended

These are very rare cases. Check it, they actually earned it by going to wars and not doing library commandant or commandant of secondary school.

Lieutenant generals are meant for infantry officers.


COAS in Nigeria is reserved for only infantry sojas.

There is no single female infantry soja in naija
Thank you. Why are the women running away from the infantry division? But they want to be Lieutenant generals!
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Promotes Olufemi Oluyede To Lieutenant General by Contango(m):
saphiere:
If this is true, then we need our separate world.
Don’t be too quick to comment without reasoning. What I’m saying is such ranks are not just mentally demanding, they’re physically demanding. A woman is not biologically built to meet such demands but in the event that they do, no one will deny them.

Woman wants to be army general but if you check it, na dem dey lobby their way out of real war postings. Lol
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Promotes Olufemi Oluyede To Lieutenant General by Contango(m):
saphiere:
When will a woman be made chief of army
As soon as a woman earns it.

You think such ranks are attained based on political sentiments? Have you seen a female lieutenant general in any country before?

You want to be painting your toe nails and doing facials while ordering soldiers at the war front. Tueh
