hmmmmm

Na wao.... so it's now a crime to see a girl you like and ask her out??
men would always fraternize with women. That's how it has been since time immemorial.

and they wonder why homo is on the increase...!

ask a girl out these days, before you know it they'd starting calling you pervert and all sorts.

if a man doesn't ask a woman out, is it his fellow man that he's supposed to ask out??

I just taya!!

You got it wrong it. You can ask for a date but if she says no, then take it as no. Don't assume she's playing the difficult to get type. No is No, your further push becomes harassment. Same thing with your wife, she's not in the mood for legitimate pleasure and you forcefully have your way, she can actually get you charged for rape. Do you get it?

cescky:
Na lie na u for try harder...... Lol, na oyibo version of hard to get

There is nothing like hard to get. An office is a respectful work place. When a lady says no, No is No, no matter how she said it. It is only in Africa that sexual harassment is celebrated. For those who work in multinationals here in Nigeria, especially institutions with headquarters in US they can tell you that cases of sexual harassments are not treated lightly in their offices. People have lost their jobs because of that even here in Nigeria (in some multinationals). You cannot even harass your wife that you legitimately marry. In the West and US, there are cases of husbands jailed for raping their wives, which can't happen here. Sexual relationship (and marriage) with minor(s) is(/are) a serious offence over there that we shamelessly celebrate here.

so since she's in yoruba land she should follow u to eat poo(ewedu)

Education is not limited to formal studies only, that is, school learning. In addition, you learn by traveling, looking, smelling, feeling, and eating including eating new food. Ewedu is a vegetable, get yourself educated by reading the benefits of eating ewedu.

http://www.foodsng.com/ewedu-the-numerous-health-benefits-you-dont-know/

Always keep an open mind and be willing to learn as education is a life time business. Respect others culture, tradition, food and way of life.

murphyibiam15:
trash culture....woman or man both are humans..backwardness

This has nothing to do with gender. As young as the new Ooni is, Baba Obasanjo prostrated for him even as the Ooni Elect. This is our tradition, we don't shake hands with our kings. When you go to Rome, you do as the Romans.

Learn to be civil and don't insult others tradition and culture.

FirstLadyNaija:
You Can't Shake Emir, why did you try to Shake a Traditional Ruler in YorubaLand?

Good one. Iku baba yeye!

bluehill:
The way most people on this forum are responding in favour of the mad dog (Fayose) shows their level of childishness, backwardness and narrow mindedness.

Its stupidity and foolishness to take into cognizance what the animal was saying let alone trying to prove him wrong when the whole world knows already that a fraudulent man like him always makes noise to distract people's attention on his track.

He should try and pay his workers. There are much work to be done in Eketi state than the shadow he is busy chasing
'

Nairalanders should learn to make their points without being abusive.

As regards Gov. Fayose's request to the First Lady, there is nothing wrong in his call to her, for her prove to her innocence. She may not need to travel to the US but she can write to the US Embassy in Nigeria, to clarify whether she is the person involved in the scandal or not. That is the least she owes her husband who rode to Presidency, on the back of integrity.

Those who live in glass house don't throw stone so they say. It's even good that Gov. Fayose is championing this campaign because it would make it easy for his people to also call him to account for his stewardship same way.

nairalandankrah:
. my brother why?[lol]. no offence but,are you for real or do you just refuse to argue/reason appropriately.. maybe i shouldn't have attended university as Christ also never attended one, or maybe i shouldn't own a car as christ never owned one. as a follower nah. abi what do you think?..

You should answer the question yourself. I only responded to your sermon quoted below.

"nairalandankrah:
. A Christian Is Not Just Someone That Doesn't Go To A Mosque.A Christ -ian, Is Someone That Behaves Like Jesus And Will Always Act, Talk And Behave Like Him No Matter The Situation They Find Themselves[i][/i]. that's how the name was gotten in the first place.
Now For Someone Who Lived In Polygamy, But,Eventually Chooses To Accept Jesus &Sincerely Becomes A Christian, Such A Person Must Have Also Decided To Live By The Doctrines And Practice Of Jesus Christ [i][/i]As Enshrined In The Bible."

Jesus alone Is The Way To HEAVEN NOT SOLOMON or DAVID, follow jesus! if he says one wife then that is the standard.at death,ignorance is no longer an excuse before God so, now that we are still alive is the only opportunity we have to make ammends for wrongs done.. But If You Think Sacking The Other Women Is A Difficult And Hard Pin To Swallow, Then Wait Until You Find Yourself @ GODS JUDGEMENT

If you're following Jesus Christ, then you should not get married then since Jesus never married.

Yea you are right boss..did it for a reason tho....for the belt to be seen

I have taken a look at the pictures again, I didn't see you sagging in any of the pictures. May be I don't know what you guys call sagging again, is not when the under pant shows? Is the displaying of belt called sagging too?

Francis95:
boss if you think i sagged then probably you have not seen davido

If you truly sagged, then pull up your trouser. This is a bad habit.

Francis95:
lol ..don't want to disclose it here...buh i scored 200 nd something

I admire young men like you that are focused and respectful. Despite all the undeserved bashing, you didn't insult anyone shows you have good upbringing. Please continue that way, and make sure you remain focused in your studies too. I wish you best of luck in your post-UMTE screening.

As of now, your post has had over 31,000 views in less than 24 hours, and already running into 12 pages, isn't that great?

Send a PM to me, I owe you 10k.

Always do what you believe in, and keep believing in what you do (positive things).

Do have a nice day.

Francis95:
Till then bro... You had your own moments

Young man, I am impressed with the way you have responded so far because you have not been rude to anyone. Don't be intimidated and don't allow anyone to stop your fun.

Always do what you believe in, and keep believing in what you do.

Have a good evening.

phammyus:
The best to get your own spare part vendors, like three of them so you can compare prices when you are buying spare parts. Just ask the mechanics for their workmanship and make sure they are correct with troubleshooting of the fault so you don't waste money on spare parts, because they do guess work a lot.

How would you ensure that all the spare parts you bought are fixed into your vehicle?

porka:
Dogara should treat their f*ckup.

Learn from India.

They didn't allow any nonsense from the US the other day.

They made them pay dearly for their undiplomatic arrogance.

A country stands up for its citizens.

The only plausible reason the US is going after these guys is to embarrass them because of America's homosexual lifestyle that was roundly voted down.

Learn from Russia. Don't let them dictate to you. Nigeria is a sovereign country.

Learn from America itself. They won't allow anyone to rubbish their leaders.

It wasn't long ago that Dick Cheney, their former vice president (a republican party member) was indicted for the Halliburton bribery scandal in Nigeria. Instead of allowing him to come and clear himself, Hillary Clinton, then the secretary of state (a democratic party member) shielded him.

The case died a natural death.

Dogara should man up.

Stop giving in to their threat/pressure. The worst is to lose an election. They can't do more than that. People have lost elections and heaven hasn't fallen.

If these men were found soliciting for homosexual sex in America, nobody would have heard anything. They would have been treated like their heroes.

The American government would have promptly co-opted them into their elaborate homosexual spreading programs in Africa.

If these guys are allowed to be rubbished like this without a serious fight then the entire government structure of Nigeria is in trouble.

Nigeria has a diplomatic presence in Washington DC. Why did they not go through that. Why this unexplained rush to tarnish the image of these guys.

Stop soliciting for their programs. Stop attending their workshops and seminars. Stop all this beggarly behavior. Stay in your country. Organize programs for them in Nigeria too. Let them come here and spend their foreign currency.

Where is Senator David Mark when you need him most?

I don't expect an innocent person in an embarrassing case like this, to be asking for video/CCTV evidence. If they were falsely accused, they should simply go ahead to institute legal actions against all the parties involved in Nigeria firstly, since the allegations were made public here. Secondly, give powers of attorney to US law firm(s) to sue all the parties involved on their behalf in US.

Nigerians should not be in a hurry, when the legal fireworks start then you'll all see the evidences you've been asking for.

Princek12:
In 2016 people in Nigeria are still building houses that are not adequately spaced and without roads for cars. This is an urban planning failure. In 2016 the urban planning is still done as though it was 1716 when mud houses were built all over without sufficient roads that led to those houses. Everyone is celebrating this nonsense as progress. And now you can see why Nigeria's problem are her people. The building is an absolute disgrace because it is an area that has no roads, no driveways, no pedestrian walkways, no trees, and no neighborhood feel. Absolute nonsense.

Exactly my thoughts.

It does not appear the OP bothered to conduct a search on this land he bought from omo onile, before he started building. Looking at the ongoing construction in the pictures posted, it is obvious that these people are just building indiscriminately without building approvals.

vodutive:
with due respect you are not making any sense and there is no logical sequence to your stance. it's either they have evidence or they don't. if they don't then they have no right to treat a lawmaker froma sovereign country, there at their invitation in such a manner, it's an affront to us all! If they have evidence then what sort of evidence, is it word of mouth that cannot hold up in their own courts or did they bug our Lawmakers (we all know they do. Either way from where I stand if we had any balls as a people this does not end well for the US.


These are the people that preach due process and rule of law. If they have solid, evidence, how was it obtained?

it's an affront to us all!

Who says? A begi, no include me oooo. Please spare me jor.

nonjebose:
That excerpt from the US ambassador is at best stupidly laughable! They should apologise when they claim innocence? That is accepting guilt for what insist you are innocent of? The other accompanying statements regarding their attitude towards a mere deputy is insulting. These are federal legislators who are being demeaned. I don't blame US at all. High time our stop selling ourselves cheap to them

I pray they are truly innocent as you have implied, so that they can make their cool millions of dollars from character defamation.

However, it will be shocking for US Embassy to take this kind of drastic measure without its facts.

kstix:
my friend will you just shut the hell up. Why are you jumping to conclusions like a dump bigot throlling someone based on something u cant confirm. He has made a valid point. Let the US embassy give a more substantial evidence before prosecuting someone. At least they do that to an average american, criminals included. Why should their cases be different because they are nigerians?. We wont know who is right untill we see a concrete evidence to disprove this. Stop judging or i'll go and identify ur pix at the police station and say it was u that stole my laptop.. Rubbish

From the earlier letter published by the Embassy, I think the US Government gave them the opportunity of laying the matter to rest by being remorseful. But it appeared they felt too big to apologize and must have tried using "bone face" for the US Embassy Officials......my thoughts.


Extract from the US Embassy letter:

The ambassador acknowledged that “While the majority of Nigerian visitors to the United States do behave appropriately, even a few Nigerians demonstrating poor judgement leads to a poor impression of the Nigerian people generally, though it is far from accurate.

Such incidents jeopardise the ability of future programming and make host institutions and organisations less likely to welcome similar visits in the future.” Entwistle stated that the affected lawmakers did not show remorse when the issue was brought to them.

"In addition, most of the members of this group reacted very negatively to my deputy when she brought this matter to their attention, further calling into question their judgement and commitment to the goals of the International Visitor Leadership Programme.

This leads us to question whether to include National Assembly members for other similar programmes in the future. “I request, in the strongest possible terms, you share this message with members of the National Assembly so they understand the seriousness of these issues, and the potential consequences of their actions, not only for themselves as individuals, but also for the future of such programmes designed to benefit Nigeria,” he said in the letter.

FG said screening is checking candidates waec and neco result, u are just saying ur opinion one of the reasons i don't believe people nowadays

I listened to the JAMB Registrar on Channels TV this week, when he erroneously said screening meant checking of WAEC and NECO results only. The word "screening" is actually broader than that, it can mean examination, testing, checking etc. There is nothing wrong in what in UNIBEN is doing. As a matter of fact, students that are preparing to go to higher institutions should be willing to write tests at any time.

Damsonkc:
A child is not old enough to decide on what matters in his life. Rapists do not ask for your consent. Politicians do not ask for your consent to loot public funds. What is wrong in two consenting adults falling in love?

Personally, I don't have problem with two consenting LGBT adults falling in love and getting married, as it is being done in the West. If it pleases them. But do you think it is morally right for such couples to adopt children?

SpicyMimi:
Abeg make Una enlighten me o! What's so special about the Oni and why so much attention? And is he really this wealthy? How is their source of income generated? Government funds? I hope not.

Ooni is the Arole Odùduwà (Odùduwà's representative).

Odùduwà (Odùduà or Oòduà) is generally ascribed to the ancestral dynasty of Yorubaland and he is held by the Yoruba to have been the ancestor of their numerous crowned kings.

This Ooni was a successful businessman and wealthy before his enthronement as Ooni. As per the cost of this trip, usually this would be borne by his "children" in the USA. No matter how young a King is in age in Yorubaland, he is regarded as a father. I am sure you would have seen the picture of Baba Obasanjo on the Internet, prostrating for this Ooni when he was Ooni-elect.

publicenemy:
Rubbish!
he should visit the Queen of England instead of these street carnivals like a street boy. Visiting common Obafemi Martins to beg for money to buy flight tickets.


I wonder when he will visit Linda Ikeji or Corssy Orjako to beg to suck breaast.

A well brought person does not insult elders not to talk of a paramount king.

For your information, Oni Adeyeye Ogunwusi has been a multi-millionaire before ascending the throne of his fore fathers.

His bio on the website of Imperial Homes Mortgage Bank Limited (a subsidiary of GTBank Plc) on which board he sits as non executive director, reads, “Mr. Ogunwusi is a graduate of Accountancy and a certified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and of the Institute of Management.
“He has been involved in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts locally and abroad for over 11 years.
“He was involved in the development of the Northern Foreshore Estate, Cityscape International Limited’s Buena Vista project in Lekki, Primewaterview Limited’s projects, Westcom Limited’s projects, and the Ajaokuta Steel’s and Delta Steel’s resuscitation projects.
“Adeyeye (Ogunwusi) is currently the Managing Director of Howard Roark Gardens Limited which is undertaking multi-million naira Jacob Mews Estate project in Yaba and the Lakeview real estate development in Lekki.”

Millerz:
Because Yoruba Muslims are minority in the SW. Muslims are all terrorists and murderers.

Your comments on Yoruba Muslims are untrue and grossly misleading! Read my post and comments of other Nairalanders about Yoruba Muslim/Christian relationship.

https://www.nairaland.com/3158853/mixed-christian-muslim-families-lets-share

In the last few days, there have been so much unhealthy arguments amongst Christian and Muslim Nairalanders. With too much hate words used, I started wondering if is there something unique about my larger family.

My parternal grandfather had six sons, the first three are Muslims while the last three are Christians. There was so much love amongst the six of them. I have first cousins that are Muslims. As a matter of fact, my closest cousin is an Al-Hajj.

The larger family meets four times yearly; on new year day, Easter Sunday, Eid Al-Fitr (Itunu Awe) and Eid Al-Adha (Ileya) days. We all come to the village (as many that can) to celebrate with each other and hold family meeting.

When I got married, a Muslim friend was my best man, now Aare Adinni. He is still my best friend till date.

Growing up in Lagos in the late 60s, there was nothing like a Muslim boy or Christian boy, we had no such disctinction. A Christian boy could walk into a mosque to eat "mosa" without any qualms. Likewise, a Muslim boy would follow the Boys Brigade band to any length and feast with them at the end of the parade. It was all fun.

I am really getting worried with this worrisome dimension coming to the South West. I just hope this is limited to the Internet and not a true reflection of what is going on in the South West.

NLs with similar background should please share there own experience.

delishpot:
Just because of culture he wants to relocate his family? Culture that he could teach them over there? Even Nigerians in Nigeria do not bother much about culture. Op abeg stay put till Naija becomes better. I am not saying don't come home o. Just saying wait till Naija becomes better. For now safety is more important.

OP: If you have good stay in that country, then I will advise you to allow your children to benefit from better education system, that is what some of us are paying for, through our nose.

As much as possible teach your children your own way of life, tradition, custom and culture. Cultivate the habit of speaking in your language at home, so that they can understand and possibly speak it. Listen to your traditional music more, surround yourself with what you want them to know.

However, if it is the whole family moving down to Nigeria, of course there are good private schools that your children can attend in the big cities, but won't take this option if I were in your shoes.

I do not agree with Osun State CAN on this issue. Personally, I see nothing wrong in a school girl wearing hijab to school. However, since it would be part of school uniform the Education Ministry should should give a specification (size) so that it won't be abused and we don't end up like Chad's case.

EWAagoyin:
blasphemers according to the Koran where said to be left alone God can fight for himself
...the prophet peace be upon him.. .stones was thrown at him, dirt was thrown at him, Infact there was a woman who always throw things at him whenever he pass by her house but he never revenge ..the day he passed and she wasn't outside to throw things at him he was worried and even visited her only to discover she was sick and he even pray for her.. ..

72 virgins is a reward for being good while on earth not a reward for killing your fellow human beings na hottest hell you dey go.

Been educated makes you understand the Koran better because you won't be feed rubbish by the so called Islamic scholars without knowing you are been feed rubbish.

Education is key. Most families (including not so rich) from the South West, invest in their children's education, we don't joke with it. Recently, the picture of Oga Bello's (a nollywood actor, and a Muslim too) eighteen children was posted on NL, it is interesting to note that they have all seen the four walls of different higher institutions.

In the north, the "Almajari" schooling is very common amongst the poor. In the 80s, I had the opportunity to interact with some almajaris, and it was shocking to me that most of them didn't remember their parents and can only recall the names of their villages because that is what they are called (such as Sule Sokoto). I couldn't understand how a couple would have a son and practically throw away the tot. It was more worrisome looking at the number of kids I saw all over the streets of Kaduna, Funtua, Zaria, Manufanchi etc. then. This is definitely not Islamic because I have been to some Islamic countries (Morroco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Palestine and Sudan) and did not see such ill treatment of children.

I told a friend from north that I hope the old Kaduna State Government would do something to address this cultural issue of having a son and throwing the child on the streets. As at then, I didn't know it was a common practice in most of the core northern states.

If a child grew up on the street, without parental love it is easy for such a person to be quick to anger, and can maim and kill without qualms.

The attack in Kaduna on a carpenter for not fasting if I can guess, could not be as a result of Islam, but is because of what I have said above. These almajaris are time bomb, and can be used by anybody.

Parents cannot claim because they are poor so can't be responsible for the needs of their children. Being poor is not an excuse to deny your children parental love and take care of his minimal needs. After all, they take care of the girls why do they have to throw away the boys?
I was proud of the Youth Corper that celebrated the last Mothers' Day with his selfie and mum selling under the scorching sun in a market in Lagos. If you cannot take care of them, be responsible enough not to produce them.

Being irresponsible is taking your herds of cattle into another person's farm to graze. Every farmer provides feed for their animals, so cattle rearers should not be an exception. In this day an age, it is a big shame that what we are still discussing is grazing as a national issue! I can't understand why this is a Federal Government business? Government is taking hands off private business concerns, but this particular one, Federal Government is getting involved more by the day. Miyeti Allah Association is one that should be playing this role looking grazing land and not the Federal Government.

Unfortunately, all attempts made by Goverment to make excuses ended up as self indictments; invasion by Libyan armed groups and foreign armed herdsmen, breach of ECOWAS free movement protocol etc.

Why are we shying away from doing the right thing? The cattle rearers should be responsible for providing feeds for their cattles. Modern and responsible way of doing this is ranching.

Nusaf:
If u make this statement in the midst of Muslims and they attack u, the next thing is to start making noise upandan. If I may ask, has ur faith or anything related to it ever been insulted by Muslims the way u just did? I quite agree that the Muslims are aggressive but they don't insult Christianity the way the Christians do to Islam. The way the Christians insult the Muslims' holy prophet, is getting too much.I must say that since I was born, I have never heard a Muslim using derogatory language against Jesus Christ, why?

Why are you quick to anger? What is happening to intellectual discussion? Why must everything be reduced to brawl?

chukxie:
First off, I'd like to emphatically state here that I'm not endorsing the atrocities some of our countrymen are doing in India. With that out of the way, permit me to tell you some of the nefarious activities being committed by some Indians in Nigeria because it appears you have no idea what's going on. Some Indians here are involved arms dealing, money laundering, exploitating their Nigerian workers in Nigeria, importating substandard drugs (medicines), selling of expired products, tax evasion et cetera. You asked if they (Indians) sell drugs too? The answer is a big YES! Some Indians living in Nigeria are at the helm of crystal meth production and distribution in Nigeria.

According to you, Indians are carrying out similar criminal activities in Nigeria, and our Authorities have decided to condone it by not enforcing the law, so because of that, are you saying the Indian government should continue to appear helpless when it's laws are being breached by lawless Nigerians residing in India? Every serious nation must ensure its laws are enforced.

The Nigerian industrial laws are comparable with similar laws in the UK, to a great extent, but if you go to most of the manufacturing companies/plants owned by Asians in Nigeria, the industrial safety standards are nothing to write home about. Yet, we have the inspectorate and compliance officers from various regulatory agencies visiting these companies, and mostly giving them clean bill of health.

Generally, it appears Nigerians are not ready for good governance, if comments I read on the social media is anything to go by, including NL. If Nigerians don't want rule of law, we can't stop other serious countries from enforcing its laws.

It is instructive to note that every human being has criminal tendencies, it is the fear of being caught and punished that deter many from committing crimes. This is what, largely is missing in Nigeria (fear of being caught and punished), and is what good governance is all about.
