Well, maybe so.

But definitely not the crude way he issued threats.
CultureRe: Soldiers Bar Traditionalists From Awujale’s Muslim Funeral by CrownedPhoenix:
This needs to frowned upon. Culture and traditions need to be enforced at such times as this.

Anyone who doesn't want to be buried in traditional ways has no business being Oba.

Imagine an Oba who is expected to be a keeper/preserver of traditions refusing to be buried in traditional ways.

Defence too porous.

Why does Islam want to "conquer" the world? Why exactly?

I believe these are selected gainer companies in the NSE.

This does not capture losers so kindly post for losers too.

Wait, he was in PDP all along?

Wow. Honestly, parties need to do better to curb these level of carelessness.

You're in an opposition party, yet sounding like a mouth piece of your supposed opponent? undecided

It's a terrible low.
CareerRe: Woman Donated Kidney To Her Boss And Got Fired For Taking To Long To Recover by CrownedPhoenix:
Is it even remotely possible that the donor was paid for the kidney? And so, strictly business?

Just trying to make sense of this.
FamilyRe: Paternity Fraud: “Make Another Man Pikin Run My Race” by CrownedPhoenix: 12:52pm On Jul 09, 2025
More importantly, what happens to these kids after realising this man isn't their father.

In cases where the woman does not know whom the true father is, what happens to their
Surname?
State of origin? Etc

How do they have an identity?
EducationRe: ABU, Zaria Bans Kissing, Hugging, Bushy Hair, Beard, Tattoo, Dreadlocks, Sagging by CrownedPhoenix:
Supported. Some will argue that all these do not affect a student's education.

Yes, it doesn't. But we need to start to return to some level of decency and sanity.

Theoretically, I agree you can carry dreadlocks with tattoos all over your body and sag your Jean trousers to knee-length and still be tops in your class.

But here in Nigeria, let's be honest, IN REALITY, how many of those type of people have you seen around you topping their classes like that.

Unchecked minor misbehaviours grow into larger deviant behaviours/problems we eventually have to deal with as a society.

PoliticsRe: Ground Rent: Avoid Diplomatic Problems, Falana Warns Wike Against Sealing Embass by CrownedPhoenix:
Seal embassies for owing when the embassies concerned have said they did not receive any notifications of defaulting any payments.

Yes, if even it is ₦1 being owed, they should pay. But not giving them notice of due payments and going off to seal embassies is, for lack of better word, overzealous.

In conflicts, Wike doesn't know what magic diplomacy can do. Simply serve the notice round and make sure they acknowledge it first before escalating issues.

Everything no be gra-gra.

Science/TechnologyRe: What Is The Difference Between Evening & Night? by CrownedPhoenix: 4:17pm On Jun 07, 2025
In Nigerian parlance,

goodnight is generally used to bade greetings when departing for the night.

Good afternoon is from midday to when the sun starts to set.

Once the sun starts to set, it's good evening. Say 5pm-sh. Earlier than that, at 4,4:30pm is not out of place.

In Nigerian parlance, good evening stretches well into the evening/night. People can be passing by at 10pm and greet each "Good evening".

Goodnight is not used in same way as good morning and good afternoon. When two people are meeting at 9pm, they don't see themselves and greet each 'goodnight'. No. It's a 'good evening '.

In fact, good night is only used to bade greetings when departing for the night, after earlier greeting themselves good evening when they met. Good morning starts again at midnight.

I can be sitting out at 9,10pm and say "I am having a nice evening". But by morning I can refer to that same time as "last night"

Just leave us alone in Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Simon Ekpa's Terrorism Trial Starts Today In Finland by CrownedPhoenix:
That trial should be happening here in Nigeria. He should be extradited.

He caused most of the killings South-East has experienced.

You cannot be wearing fancy suits and inciting and instigating the deaths of thousands of people.

That guy's no freedom fighter, he is a murderer!
CrimeRe: Court Sentences Imam Kabiru Ibrahim To Death By Hanging For Killing Client by CrownedPhoenix:
You'd be shocked to know they meet some of these 'spiritualists' on Facebook.

One set of people I pity most are those that engage these 'Alfa's on internet for juju. They'd eventually kill you.

Gentledove2001:
Next time, people should learn to operate within their limits, since buhari kidnapped sorry arrested this man from Kenya, haven't people moved on? Is their anyone inside the prison with him? This life na only your family cares about you that is if you are lucky to have good family members because some family members are worst than devil. I pray Tinubu release him because at least by now, he must have learnt his lessons, no one fights the government all over the world, after God, na government.
I just don't like to read things like this.

People have fought governments across the world. Even when some got killed, their struggles were carried on by others and eventually bore fruits.

For most of the rights you enjoy today, people fought for it. Those that achieved it only completed the journey some others started.

Live your cowardly life and leave others to choose their own paths in life. He very well knew he was on head-on collision course with government.

You don't know where the journey he started will end tomorrow, even if he is killed today.

It is the violence part, where innocent people going about their everyday lives are killed that I do not like.

I have noted his name though.

We need men like him.

The larger Nigeria need more of his detribalized mind. Likely the type of emerging leaders to get Nigeria going again.

Congratulations Idris Adebola.
PoliticsRe: Fubara Visited Me With Two APC Governors - Wike by CrownedPhoenix: 1:15pm On May 12, 2025
undecided

Could Fubara have made moves for peace with a little more dignity?

Anyway, I have always wondered why the majority house couldn't impeach him. That would have been better for them than the State of Emergency route.

Tinubu should pray there never will come a time he and Wike will be at loggerheads.

Kobojunkie:
The man is no longer a provider in the marriage, but a mooch, and rightly, the dynamics in the marriage should change too. undecided

That is the setback that is the traditional marriage system. The man is promised submission by the system if and only if he retains his role as provider in the marriage. The moment he ceases to be a provider, the woman is no longer under any obligations to submit to him. The best the man can and should do then is renegotiate the marriage agreement he had with his wife, choosing an ultimate contract that best suits his situation. undecided

2. Are men not human beings? huh

3. That arrangement may have worked for your forefathers, but you shouldn't go around pretending it should work for everyone in this day and age. Let individuals decide what to do in their own marriage, abeg! huh
Just imagine! @ the bolded grin

Sounding intelligent, she continues to mislead.
