It takes someone like you to come out, to surrender himself as sacrifice and protest. Come out and lead it, not sit behind a keyboard spewing hogwash for spewing sake. Wtf man! Lead the cause man, and we'll follow you ...

no sir, it takes a ready people to change.

How do you unchain people who are not even aware of the chains? How do you tell Nigerians that they deserve better when all they want to do is prove that they can survive the worst situation?

Look around you, our culture is not one to seek better lives but to tell others how strong we are by adapting.

We don't need 24/7 power supply, we actually need poor power supply to boast our morale. We need higher fuel and food prices to show how strong we are.

Nigerians are lazy and that's the truth. In any nation where there's a change in policy, the question is not how do we adapt, the question is always how do we make them change this policy or better still, how do we make them augment?

But not Nigeria, in Nigeria it's the more lazy approach of how do I suffer more to accommodate the changes?

All I see is an attention seeker

Look at Nigerians adapting as usual. How do we get a better country if all we do is adapt to suffering.

No one talked about protesting the policy.

We have all resigned. Nigerians are lazy not hardworking. We would rather flow with the tides than fight it.

That's laziness.

JustStupidity:
Nobody should judge. Who knows what the pastor did or said that resulted in this. Let's hear from the killer first.

Does anything justify taking the laws into your hands and killing another person?

That's the simplest reason.

Hmmm... instead of smoking soak away, please go with meth, at least that one is healthier... which one is Islamic education again....why is it that Fulanis in Nigeria practice something else thinking they are practicing Islam....go to Havard you will find students from Islamic countries trooping in to gain more knowledge and develop their countries keeping Islam one side...but here in Nigeria they see Islam as if it was handed over directly to them by Mohammed, at the end they end up as Terrorist while others are ending up as game changers in developmental studies....

I'm not yet finish...No no no ...

That was embarrassing to watch. He should have threatened them with no heaven or prosperity long before asking. That always work.

cafolu:
Have you considered that she may be unable to carry a pregnancy to full term? Do you know if she has a medical condition? Since there are other options to have a child, must she copulate beyond pleasure? What is this obsession with sexual intercourse?

we know she had no medical condition because she clearly stated her reasons.

Stop asking boring questions

She's pretty.

jaxxy:
Why is she having a baby with a man she cannot couplate with??

our woke brethren will do social distancing with this question

cafolu:
When you label a complete human as 'surrogate baby' you create the impression that a child produced from a surrogacy procedure is less human and I'm sure you know that's 100% false and wrong! People are wired differently. Sometimes, one experience is enough to scar or make a lasting impression on a person for life and will mostly form a basis for decisions taken later in life and it is perfectly valid. When you categorically state that her reasons for opting for a surrogate to have a child are 'flimsy and selfish' I wonder whether you are an acclaimed expert on the subject including valid reasons for choices made!

Are you in her life? Do you know how her mind operates? Do you know what personal/family experiences she might have had or seen? Even the few public 'fighting marriages' with kids caught in the cross-fire might be enough for her to take her decision. She mustn't explain it all to the public and even more importantly, she owes no explanation or validation from you or any one out there. She is a Nollywood star who has taken a personal life decision at 39 and that should be enough for everyone.

lolz

I see your point but my calling a child a surrogate baby is not derogatory or meant to be demeaning.

When you have black and white, you don't call the black white in order to bring it to par with the white, you call it black to help differentiate and make your point.

My calling the child a surrogate baby is only in that aspect and not in any of the way you are seeking to narrate it.

Secondly, I'm not an expert in anything and I don't need to be an expert when I see selfishness.

Do you need to be an expert to warn AS and AS couple who chooses to marry and give birth? Do you need to be an expert to tell them that regardless of their reasons, that one of their child will suffer and live a life if misery because of their actions?

Of course they have their reasons for wanting to give birth, but that reason will not prevent the consequences.

As a loving parent, your first goal is to clear the way and make your child as safe and comfortable as possible. That's why people say 'they need a conducive and safe environments' for their kids.

Her choice of choosing surrogacy is not bad for her. She gets all her desires met. She will be happy and that's beautiful.

But What about the child, do you care about her own happiness? No matter how we try to polish it, she will still grow in a society that's hostile to her.

As a parent, wouldn't you rather have prevented that? Ini can weather the storm of 'what people will say' but why what about the child? And if peradventure, the child is strong and can weather the storm, it still begs to ask the question, why even put the child through it in the first place?

Personally, I don't give a cent about Ini Edo, my thoughts and speculations are only about the child and the effects this could have on her.

And yes, if Ini Edo shared her news online, she shouldn't expect people not to comment about it whether good or bad. You can't go and talk your business in the market square and turn around and say people are mocking you.

So many Nigerians are scared to comment to avoid the wrath of God.

Farfalla:
What is selfish about wanting to be a mother? Human beings have desires and motherhood was one of Ini's desires. Just as good friendships, good relationships, a fulfilling career, good health and a fulfilling spiritual life bring happiness, children can be a source of happiness too. I should know.

What makes you think that she's getting a baby for selfish reasons? Is the desire to raise a child selfish? What would you rather she did?

lolz.

All I see is self, self, self and more selfs. It's not bad to desire motherhood but raising a child as your source of happiness is bad.

It's not bad to bring forth a child but bringing that child forth when you know the preventable challenges the child will face but instead of preventing such, you still go ahead to bring that child forth is wickedness.

AS and AS parents will love to experience parenthood but we tell them no, not because we are miserable but because we care about the happiness of the kids as well.

Same with Ini. One day that child will be the only one in her group without a father. (not knowing her father is something the society can easily understand, not having a father is an issue Nigeria is not yet ready for.)

Can Ini bear the fallout and the consequences, yes she can. Is it right to put the innocent kid through the same? I'd leave that to you. But personally, I know I won't go through such routes, at least not for now.

You have to understand that there are two parties in this case, one making the decision and both bearing the consequences of such decisions. That's not love but selfishness.

Asking buhari to fight Boko Haram is like asking a pastor to tell his members not to pray.

Buhari will not fight Allah for you or me. Stop wasting your expectations

Lolz,

You've failed to talk about corporate dressing. We use 364 days to force students to wear western dress as the best option while looking down on our cultural attire and then for 1 day in a year, we ask them to put on cultural dress and complain bitterly about how our culture is dying.

Not speaking English properly is seen as a lack of education. But in that aspect it is not our fault, Nigeria is multi-tribal, we can't pick a random language without the other tribe suspecting that the other is trying to dominate them and we can't enforce everyone to learn in his own language. That would lead to more waste of resources.

So it's actually better we learn in English.

And for the other courses, they are necessary. Take zoo for instance, it not only help in maintaining the zoo but raising better animals, as well as better meat processing practice.

You don't need a political science degree to be a politician but you surely will do better in politics if you have compete political scientist running the background process for you.

But because we tend to cut corners in the country, we employ illiterates in politics who only see rigging as the only option to win elections. By all means political science is a necessity so are all the other courses in their small behind the scene way.

Same way you feel like making movies should only require a camera man and the actors but over 5,000 professionals often come together to make a single Hollywood movies, reasons why you'll always prefer their quality to that of Nollywood.

Same with countries where qualifications take the lead before everything else. The problem is not education but the people.

The matrix.

The idea redefined my perception. So bad they are goin to kill the narrative in the new episode.

Nigeria movies. Wether we like them or not, they taught us to suspect old women as witch, Christianity as superior and how Bible can defend against evil.

irunoko:
cameras with audios please...sighsss

I think you are lying.

You ever wondered why CCTV though capable of audio recording don't utilize the audio feature?

It's because it's illegal to record conversation of people. It's called eavesdropping, an offense punishable under the law of any country.

Like I said, on the speculation side I think you may be lying. And no one watch cctv recording every time except an issue pops up.

If we start even analyzing the psychological aspects of kids knowing their talks and actions are being monitored 24/7, then that's a whole lot of other issues. Let's be realistic please.

And should we talk about the time line of your schooling and the evolution and acceptance of cctv in public spaces in Nigeria?

irunoko:
not totally true


There are schools that have Zero tolerance for bullying whether verbal, physical or emotional and the consequences for such is expulsion.i was blessed by God to finish from such schools ( I don't want to mention the name of the school) and there are CCTV cameras all around the school corridors, classrooms, hostels, lawns, basketball court etc.if you are reported, the school conducts an investigation by going to the ICT department to check activities that go went on that day and location moreover the parents of the kids are forewarned that there is a Zero tolerance to bullying and if they are found guilty of bullying any student, they'll be expelled.infact they're made to sign that agreement (both parents and students) so if you have narcissistic and sociopathic children They won't even feel comfortable staying in such schools

all you said is reaffirmation of what I said.

You only catch a bully when the bullied report him. A lot of kids don't report bullies especially male kids.

It takes special care for parents and teachers to find out that a kid is been bullied and this is mostly when it becomes physical.

But emotional bullying? Please

Farfalla:
Ini my dear, you don't owe miserable Nigerian village people any explanation.

Your daughter will bring you joy. Forget those miserable Nigerian citizens living below 0.5 US dollar per day. They're just bothered that a rich woman is happy.

of course everyone with an opposing views is miserable.

Who the heck gave y'all this type of reasoning?

Her child will bring her happiness, OK. But what about the child herself? Does anyone take her happiness into account?

Like you, Ini's reason for wanting surrogate is superficial and self-centered. It wasn't about the child but herself.

But hey, it's us who are miserable. At least we are not birthing babies so they can give us happiness

Xfemt:
What she did isn’t bad but she should know this is Africa
Fathers re very important in children lives

Imagine the daughter want to get married where dem wan go pay the bride price


That child will face a lot of bully when pple get to know she has no father

Even me when I know quick no my papa no be small thing I face before I finally know am not to talk of who no go even see em own at all

It is well

this is what I've been saying.

It's all about her. Not the baby.

She doesn't want a husband but what if her child need a father figure? It'll all be happy and pretty until the child start seeing her peers.

I just hope she could bear knowing how she was conceived and maybe africa have grown to accepting the science more by that time.

Technology is good. But timing is also important.

irunoko:
lol she will be stupid as a mother to put her child in a school where there are no effective anti bullying policies

There are no effective anti bullying policies anywhere.

The punished bully is a reported bully. The reported bully is less than 1 in 10 bullies

DuBLINGreenb:
Is Ini Edo Igbo?

it's like saying idoma people Are Fulani? Because they are close or they can both understand Hausa due to their proximity to the hausa's

I don't know why you chose idoma people but on behalf of every idoma persons, we are not fulani and the highest proportion of the idoma people do not understand the language of the fulani people.

Fulani are not close to us because they DO NOT HAVE LAND IN NIGERIA.

We are close to the hausas, the host on which the parasitic fulani are using to destroy this country.

Ogaga87:
Surrogacy or baby factory babies, what's the difference..

Looking at from the angle of ignorance, every thing seems same but one is legal while the other isn't..

five bottle of cold origin for you.

Some women get paid abroad to bear the children of homosexuals.
These are not considered baby factory because it fits the narrative.

Let a woman get pregnant and sell the baby and it's a crime.

What really are we as a species doing?

Her reasons for wanting surrogate baby is so flimsy and selfish.

She talks as if it's every marriage that are fighting on public forum.

Besides, does she take her daughters feeling into the equation? It's all about herself in this case

Bonesbreaker:
go and print fake divorce paper drop it for her to see give her two days to make up her mind on the way forward and watch the drama, remember when you give her that fake divorce do not sleep in the house make arrangement with ur friend or hotel to sleep over that night, ignore her food do not give her attention and watch the drama display she will come back on her sense

he's not in Nigeria.

That girl is ready to divorce the op and collect all his property as well monthly allowance.

Op probably married a career babymama.

Don't y'all know that Allah will punish Buhari if he fight his fighters?

Buhari will not fight ISWAP or Boko Haram because they are fighting for Allah who can deny Buhari his 7 virgins after death.

The bag 7 virgins must be secured

Nigerians are great. Nigerian government is their control plug to ensure they don't attain their best

F

Lighting and photoshop can do wonders though
