But Nairaland wasn't like this before.
I concur with you on most of your observations.
The Nigerian society is losing its soul.

MALIGNANTGuest:

You are RIGHT.
we are known for Insolence and Aggression.
Not just on Nairaland but across the world.
I Feel terrible each time I drive and see how CALM other natives of other countries drive.

NAIRALAND is a product of Nigeria which happens to be tortured & tormented Nation.
So it's not surprising at all.
Go to the streets and see insults.
Even the way our Clergymen preach should tell you something is not right with us.

Go 2d banks & see how seniors insult juniors.
Go 2d Hospitals & see how Senior Doctors insult Junior ones right before patients. Such makes patients lose confidence in the Junior doctors.

I stumbled upon Nairaland through a news item I read from LIB back in early 2000s.
Then Nairaland together with Nairalist became my one stop site for anything I needed information about.
The members were so accommodating and helpful to one another.
I subsequently registered as a member so that I can also contribute and air my thoughts.
But lately Nairaland seems to have gone to the dogs as trolls have infiltrated the site and curses and abuses seems to be the order of the day.
Worse still is the apparent lack of discipline for erring offenders from both the admin and moderators.
The admin and moderators need to wield the big stick and hit it hard on offenders.
The site is fast losing relevance if urgent and drastic measures are not implemented to improve the user experience of the once glorious site...
I rest my submission

Apga's travails in the Anambra governorship primaries is hinged on the influence of Mrs Obiano.
The governor allowed her to wield so much powers in the running of the state and now having so much influence within and around the government circles,she equally succeeded to have a say in what happens at Apga at the state level.
She intends to install one of her loyalists as governor.

My exact thoughts.
If in a party primary Andy Uba got 230k plus
How many would he be allocated with for the general election.
That guy knows that he can't win any contests where actual votes count so he channels all energy at getting outrageous numbers allocated to him making even his closest rival seem like an amateur politician.

Titto93:
The worst primary elections in d history of Anambra.
It's much beta to stick to no elections. Nigeria is getting messier by their activities.

Imagine Andy Ubah, the worst politician in Anambra winning APC primary with 230,000 votes.
Who vote am?
How many people dey the venue?

This man that supervised the privatisation process of the power sector and ended up handing out NEPA to inept and incompetent entities.
He should not play Saint.

Founder of Stanbic IBTC Bank Atedo Peterside on Sunday, amid numerous Father’s Day messages posted to social media, also called attention to fathers who loot the nation’s commonwealth, Igbere TV reports.

While giving his comments, Mr Peterside shared a post on Twitter side-by-side which sought to know which fathers have been doing more harm than good to the society.

The banker’s post read,

He dropped the following comments concerning the post,

Peterside’s comments on infringing on “our freedom and fundamental human rights” come amid the suspension of Twitter by Nigerian authorities.

While it is not clear when the suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria would be lifted, the minister of information and culture Lai Mohammed has said top executives of the micro-blogging site have not shown seriousness in engaging the Federal Government on the matter.

Hence the proliferation of Ponzi schemes

FREE THE HOLY MEN NOW!
ARMED MEN INVADES THE PERFECT LIGHT HOUSE, OWAELU, OWERRI ABDUCTS DEVOTEES, THREATENS OUR PRESIDENTIAL BID FOR 2023.
By the Grace of the Grace, at the early hours of Sunday, May 16, 2021, about fifteen-gun men believed to be Boko Haram agents or enemies of Ndigbo in Police Uniform came with Hilux vans and invaded Satguru Maharaj Ji’s Perfect Light House, which is situated at Uwaelu Village, Orji, Owerri, Imo State and abducted two devotees of Satguru Maharaj Ji, who are resident there.
On arrival, they attempted to enter the Ashram with their shoes on. One of the devotees approached them at the entry gate and demanded that they should remove their shoes in line with subsisting Divine Injunction before entry.
They stopped and asked to know how many grinding machines they have in the Ashram. The devotee replied that it is only one and that it has been in use for years.
The Ashram Coordinator who happens to be around came out and met them with a view to finding out their mission. He further confirmed that they have only one grinding machine and went inside and brought out the receipt for the purchase of the grinding machine and showed it to them just to clear any doubt.
The men forced them to enter one of the Hilux van for further explainations at the State CID of Nigerian Police Force, Imo State Command.
Efforts to trace the two devotees at the Office of the State CID proved abortive with the police saying, no such case has been brought to them. Signals were sent to other Police formations in Owerri from the Police Control Room and none of the Police Stations admitted knowledge of such an incident.
We are therefore calling on the good people of Imo State, particularly the leaders in the various socio-economic and political spectrums to take steps to ensure the safe return of the devotees because it is a taboo to get them abducted and the karmic evolution consequent upon such act of dastardity will be overwhelmingly too devastating for the people to bear and forebear.
Satguru Maharaj Ji for the past forty-one years has been the lone voice in the wilderness calling for the unity and oneness of Nigeria based on love, peace, equity, justice and fair play for all the constituent ethnic nationalities that make up the Nigerian Union.
It is based on this understanding that I declared Nigeria, New Holy Land of the Universe at the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos on May 29, 1993, when IBB declared war through comrade Chukwumerije in order to neutralize and forestall the outbreak of war. This declaration was the much-deserved Master stroke that drove away all the forces of evil that assembled in Nigeria in readiness for war.
On August 16, 1993, I followed up the Holy Land declaration with My “No War IN Nigeria, Come What May!” in order to strengthen the Holy Land declaration. These two declarations remain in force, hence despite the indices of war, in which less than one percent of it has led to wars in other climes, Nigeria still remains in tact despite arguments here and there.
Though the Igbo leaders are yet to understand and appreciate fully the fact that Satguru Maharaj Ji is the re-incarnation of Ikenga, Amadioha, Okija all Deities in Igbo land rolled in one, who is here to restore and reposition the Igbos to their past pre-eminent position in all spheres of human endeavor, Maharaj Ji has never relented in His constructive engagement with the Igbo leadership for them to realize the need to come closer to The Satguru, because He hold the key to overcoming the cry of Ndigbo against marginalization and the dwindling fortunes of the Igbos in Nigeria political calculus.
For instance, in the wake of political face-off to humiliate Ndigbo during IBB’s Maradonic evil genius rule when at the instance of Northern Oligarchy class unceremoniously removed Ebitu Ukiwe from office as No 2 man in Nigeria’s power hierarchy, the Igbo leadership under Chief Sam Onunaka Mbakwe as Imo State Governor and Chief RBK Okafor, all of blessed memory, cried out and invited Me to assist during a meeting of Igbo leaders of thought held at Concord Hotel, Owerri, Imo State on the matter. During the meeting, I gave My assurances to the Igbo August gathering that all will be well, since the matter has been brought before Maharaj Ji.
My Divine Interventionist rule paid off when IBB reversed himself and l Ike Nwachukwu Rtd. and Ambassador Igwe among others. However, Maharaj Ji was never appreciated for that gesture. Not even through a phone call.
That notwithstanding, I later arranged and met Chief Francis Author Nzeribe, in the company of My Chief Community Co-ordinator for Orlu, Chief Chukwuleta Iriela, with a view to making sure that IBB handed over to him as President.
When I informed the Chief that visiting him was borne out of My desire to make him President of Nigeria, but for lack of spiritual foresight to know what and who is Satguru Maharaj Ji is, the Maverick Oguta Politician snapped: “You, Small Boy”, want to make me President of Nigeria! Do you know what you are saying?” However, at the end of the day, he demanded to know the conditions.
I told him all he needs to do is to receive My Divine Knowledge and to love every face he sees, be he/she, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc. without reasons/conditions.
However, before we concluded the preparatory stage for his journey to Aso Rock Villa as President, the Amazonal Powers that be got him manipulated to start saying all kinds of negative things about Maharaj Ji in an interview he granted The Sunday Magazine, TSM, owned by ex-Senator Chris Anyanwu, from Mbaise, Imo State and that was what made him to lose the Grace that would have touched Igbo man to become Nigeria’s President through him.
The Ancestors now decided that Chief Abel Ubeku, ex-Managing Director of Guinness Nigeria PLC should be the replacement for Chief Nzeribe. Chief Ubeku agreed and received My Divine Knowledge, after which IBB invited him and offered him the coveted job as Head of the Interim National Government, contrapted by the Kaduna Mafia, after annulling the June 12 General Election, won by MKO Abiola.
Rather than consulting Me and the duo of AP Macaulay and SP Dr. Al Hassan, who recommended Dr. Ubeku to me on how to go about it, argued that his friends and colleagues from the University of Oxford have advised him not to serve an illegal government that was not backed up by the constitution.
He too lost the Grace and Chief Ernest Shonekan, ex- UAC head was forcefully brought in to head the Interim Government, unsupported by Divine Grace and was shuffled aside with ease by Abacha.
The quest to ensure that Igbos become a force to be reckoned with in present day Nigeria Politics took Me to Enugu in February, 2018 at the instance of late Dr Dozie Ikedife, of blessed memory during the Igbo leaders of thought meeting held at D Matel Hotel, Independent Layout, Enugu, comprising Ohaneze Ndigbo and Alaigbo Development Foundation under the able leadership of Prof. Uzodinma Nwala. Like the Owerri Concorde Hotel meeting mentioned earlier, the Enugu meeting was equally aimed at seeking the way forward for total integration of Ndigbo into the main stream of Nigeria’s politics.
I don’t need to go on and on mentioning all the concerted efforts I have so far made to reposition the dwindling fortunes of the Igbos in present day

Nigeria’s polity, but unfortunately, the present crop of Igbo political leaders are yet to wake up from their deep spiritual slumber to be able to decipher who and who are the true friends of the Igbos and those with the wherewithal to assist them regain their tripodal position in Nigeria’s politics.
Rather, they played to the gallery and prefer to go for the crumbs on the dining table of Kaduna Mafia Oligarchs, who with strong backing from the Queen of England will never allow any Igbo man to rule Nigeria.
Naturally, man can’t eat his cake and have it back. Neither can man continue to do the same thing over and over and expect to have a different result. You either have a head or tail on the toss of a coin.
It is instructive to observe here that we are not strangers to the Kaduna Mafia inspired onslaught against My Mission in Owerri, Imo State.
Some years back, the Kaduna Mafia used some of our Igbo sons and daughters to discredit The Light with framed up charges and consequently The Light exposed the sordid activities of 419ers in Owerri that eventually led to the Otokoto Hotel riot which sparked off the mob attack that resulted in the total destruction of the Ashram. All the newly erected structures were completely destroyed whereas, properties worth millions were stolen and unharvested farm produce like yam, casava, cocoyam, plantain, banana, pepper, tomatoes etc., were vandalized.
During the investigations, it was ironically discovered that at Overcomers Church in Ikenegbu Layout that was at the centre of the storm, human parts were used for pepper soup. At the end of the investigations, the panel recommended the arrest and criminal persecution of the master minds of the taboo.
The Judicial Commission of Enquiry set up by the then State Government, which was headed by Justice P.C Onumajuru, who later became Imo State Chief Judge on account of the beautiful service he did without prejudice or bias, at the end of the day absolved One Love Family from any wrong doing and in the panel’s report to the state government made it very clear that we were framed up by the religious groups to use Imo State Television to publicly incite people against My Mission on Earth. The Judicial Commission also condemned the unjust destruction of the Ashram. On the issue of compensation for the destructions, though the panel was of the view that we should be compensated, but Satguru Maharaj Ji said, it is left to the government to decide, however, till date nothing was heard about the panel’s recommendations for compensations for the damage done to the Ashram.
Hence, the sacrilege committed in Igbo land by doing the unthinkable in going to abduct My devotees presents another challenge that will define the fate of Ndigbo in the emerging New Nigeria and the world at large, depending on how the entire leadership of Igbo ethnic nationality handles the matter. So, they should take all necessary bold steps to make sure that the abducted innocent Soldiers of Light are released because each day of

their unholy incarceration translate to one-year karmic debt for those involved and those who are in a position to do something to effect their release but failed to do so, as well as the state in general. Hence, something must be done urgently to forestall the karmic reaction consequent upon the un-called for action.
The enemies of Ndigbo must be stopped now! The Grace is there!!
Please call the following phone numbers if you have any information about their whereabouts: - Onitsha 08122889751, 08031302727, Port Guru 08039594940 and Enugu 07062626362.
My Love and Blessings

Satguru Maharaj Ji

They seek to change history n a State plagued by poor governance orchestrated by poor leadership in several years.

The government of the day is the originator and chief executor of whatever Nigeria is passing through.
The government is always slow to act and may not actually act at all when it's called upon to act on key pressing national matters......
The constitution of this country remains our biggest albatross.....
Without a people's constitution where all our diverse interests are enshrined and protected.... nothing good will ever come out of this contraption called Nigeria

And I have not seen any visible effort to ensure that this problem is tackled and eliminated.

Good morning dear brothers and sisters in NL, I know this may be funny but I decided to bring it here. I'm 30 years old now. When I was growing up as a young boy, I discovered that other boys of my contemporaries, my peers had two scrutal sac (talking about the two ball hanging down from the male genital) but mine is just one.
I dated a girl who once told me I impregnated her but I don't know if she lied to me.

I've carried out research in the internet but with different answers though I've not gone for medical check as to know if a man with one scrotun can impregnate a woman. Do anybody here have similar situation? Have anyone amongst us heard such complain?

Please doctors in the house, what is your take on a single scrutal sac? Have you come across this problem? How did you handle it? What is your advice? Can it produce a child?.

Advice please.

If the one you have is in perfect condition.....
Yes
You can impregnate a woman.
But you need to see an urologists to know the status of the one you are having

The likes of Desmond Elliot, Yahaya Bello and Elisha Abbo have so many times proven the fact that an average Nigerian youth is no different from the old men in the Government.

They've so many times proven that corruption in Nigeria isn't just about our aged politicians but a general thing.

We saw how our various SUG officials operated in school, how coursereps, lodge presidents and the rest operated. We all saw the corruption there. If you think this generation will politically do better than this current aged politicians, then you are clueless.

An average Nigerian is tribalistic, oppressive, selfish and corrupt. It's in almost all the sectors in this country and it'll take decades for this country to be free from the aforementioned.

Know this and know peace.

And just so you know; 98.485% of Nigerians condemning Desmond Elliot will do the same, they'll rather choose the interest of their political mentors and Godfathers who will politically help and connect them than the interest of the masses.

STATEMENT ON VIOLENCE AGAINST PROTESTERS IN NIGERIA: AN APPEAL FOR CALM

It is clear that Mr President and his lieutenants did not exhaust the opportunities for dialogue with the protesters before resorting to use of force. It is worse that there is denial of wrongdoing in spite of overwhelming visual evidence. Great harm has been done but it can be stopped before it completely spirals out of control.





Most of the demands of the protesting youth. which Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State swiftly took to the President, are not unreasonable and can be met without anyone's polincal interest or ambition being threatened. It is imperative that leaders at all levels, starting with
