Oyindidi:
they go tribal on every thread. That person must be very stupid

Nne, maka Chukwu ihe afugbola mụ. It truly pains me when I see these kids who haven't even left their mother's house talking rubbish online under the security of the faceless nature of nairaland/Internet.

Opakan2:
You're probably a Yoruba guy that married an igbo lady.

Igbos teach their kids to hate other tribes especially Yorubas for no reason. But they expect absolute love in return.
Better carry your cross like that. Very soon, the only family your kids will know will be hers.

Sorry for you

The level of stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, foolishness and mumuism you just displayed shows that education was wasted on you.

I have very good and enlightened yoruba friends, I even mentored one that is doing very well for himself in Houston, Texas. Fools like you are a disgrace to your tribe.

amliftedhigher:
Good morning wonderful nairalanders.

I Am having a very delicate family issues now. I am an only son of my family and 5 sisters all married, since I brought my wife to be to them they all love her with passion and they keep telling me to take good care of the girl, they keep warning me not to treat her bad.

My sister love my Wife with passion including my aged mother but my wife to be in return hates them openly to me.

She doesn't like me mention them before her or discuss any thing with them. But she adores her family so much. We have finished traditional marriage remaining church wedding which is next two weeks from today.

During our preparations my family has noticed her long mute with them in issues of our wedding arrangement, they ask me but I told them that my wife is a shy type that doesn't talk too much but I was lying.

N/B they have not done anything evil to her and they will not think about it because they all fear me but my confusion Now is why my wife hates them? One of my sister lives in the same city with my wife but she hardly visits her.

My fellow comrades please what do I do? I can't hate my sisters because they and their husbands train me in the university . I came from a poor home but seeing the love I have for education all My sisters and their husbands swear that I must attend university . My God's grace I am working in one of the best organization in the country now am comfortable. Do I chase my family away now because of a woman I am getting married to? Help am confused.

Thanks in anticipation

Guy if I know you personally, I'd slap no beat some sense into you. Like WTF? I can't imagine a woman I want to marry ostracising me from my family. It's just not done, after my father's death I know what I passed through with my mum and sis, now one nicompo would want to separate me from the people that stood by me though thick and thin? HABA!!! Guy just get your priorities right. I told my fiancee that she should please love my mum way more than she loves me because that bond is inseparable. Get it right now or remain her slave till death do you part.






Kai!!! This guy just dey make me vex.

I'm very sure the hunchback man don run go hide like him brother ojukwu

Insult Kanu all you want, hell I'll even join you in throwing more jabs at the arrogant, ignorant mofo, but never call Ojukwu names. That I won't take from anybody

If u feel a cold metal barrel on Ur head, won't u b "scared shitless" Brof?

Somethn does add up.

are you commenting just to comment or are you simply suffering from a sight defect? How in the world did you see the metal touch her? Or where you there?

Either way, I won't wish this situation on even my worst enemy. I know a couple of people who have been kidnapped and lived to tell the tell, it's truly harrowing. I hope they get home safely.

This is painful to look at, but a careful analysis of the picture shows one is scared shitless, while the other one is very calm. Something doesn't add up in this pictures, but either way, I wish them safe transit home after this experience.

Can you imagine, these bunch of delusional cultists?

I am a complete supporter of the GEJ government till date, but to be totally honest, this woman no get conscience. The 51trillion naira figure being thrown around is hogwash, but this people no get conscience. Imagine the evil done by these people, it is alarming.

Okay, let me play the devil's advocate for a second. They could have at least established companies and solid investments to employ the vast majority of Nigerian youths, but no, they go around buying mega yachts, mansions and estates all around the world. This is just wickedness unlimited. Godforbid.

ObalufonIII:
Nice input fam.

I loved MK too and back then I had a 'higher education' notebook with all the fatalities, animalities, brutalities, friendship, babality neatly jotted in order of fighter per move on as many pages as possible.

I started off with UMK3 and my entry fighter then was Noob Saibot, Cyrax and Lui Kang. When I got to mid-level, I moved to Sub-Zero human, Smoke and a few others. When I become a pro, I could enter codes at the start of the game to unlock features such as speed, infinity time and so on and I knew so many combos by heart that I discarded my moves notebook.

When it started taking toll on my academics that I almost failed in JSS2, my mother broke my console into smithereens and I resorted to game centers - I was a Mortal Kombat addict and still am.

I was never a fan of Sega, I had Super Nintendo. I need to buy that console again with UMK, Super Mario and Donkey Kong cartridges.

I miss my childhood man

Your own good sef, I used to abscond from school during break time (by 11:30am) go to a game centre in town and play MK and sunset riders till when school will close by 2:30pm, then I would stroll home from the gaming centre like a very good boy. I still don't know how I passed secondary school till this day.

Explorers:
When you want to play pro evolution soccer or Winning Elevens and the lens is bad.

You reset 100× and it keeps hanging.

Explorers, how could you forget Sega Mega Drive 2. Playing MK with brutality, fatality, babality and combo in sega still remains the best MK game ever to me. How could I even forget Sunset riders, tekken etc. Chai! Man don dey old o.

pocohantas:
Are the guys of nowadays any better?

Abeg abeg abeg, you guys should not come and be beefing my crush she lie? There is a world of difference between boyfriend and husband. Understand her logic

This guy is is a complete idiotic moronic foolish f00l. A hungry mofo looking for cheap publicity. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeew!!!

180?!! O boy see body count. Guy try sha, e no easy.... at all.

Truth is, I love sex(who doesn't?), but I proposed to a beautiful young lady who stood her grounds on, no sex before marriage. I agreed to that, not because I am a fool, but because there was something I saw in her that made me insist on making her my wife(I've even done my introduction).

It is pure immaturity that makes a grown man think that marriage is all about sex. I've been there done that. Sex ultimately becomes boring and turns into a chore if you continue doing it with one person over and over again, when that happens, what then do you do, when you hinged your marriage on something as superficial as sex and it becomes too common or boring after a short while into the marriage?
Note:I don't believe in love, love is just a silly invention that keeps weak minds busy, because it fades as quickly as it ignites.

Marriage should be about two friends who understands themselves coming together, sex and children should be a bonus that comes with marriage not a priority. The days of "go ye and replenish the earth" is over we are battling with over population in the world right now.

If you guys are so much into the "sexual compatibility" question, ask her if she is not a virgin (if she is worth it o), if she is a virgin, fuuccking take to a freaking gyno and find out about her sexual health.

As much as I hate her guts, but one fact is truly undeniable. This girl is beautiful.

I just find that nose ring thing disgustingly appalling.

emmyspark007:
I am in my twenties and am yet to know what it feels like to be in love.
It seems I almost incapable of fallen in love .
All my past relationship has always been been about sex with no genuine affection on my part, even though some of them obviously love me. I only lust after my women and don't know what it feels like to be in love.
Seeing a friend of mine cry over his girlfriend whom he loves dearly; is amusing to me but I just realized the joke is on me cos I have never experienced love before. I just hope I find that special lady whom I will love someday and hopefully she no go break my heart..LOL

Oya o Nairalanders tell me about your love experiences and how you fell in love make meself learn from una

Guy, you ain't alone on this. I just simply don't get what 'love' is all about, I personally don't think that love exists. I see the term "love" as an over used word that actually holds no concrete meaning at all.

FitnessDoctor:
Hello guys, it's your favorite health blogger, Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor

I once wrote an article about falling asleep fast and the first commenter claimed that all my tips only work on oyinbo people (Americans), well I have tried my possible best to bring this one up to the level of Africans hoping it passes the message clearly...

If you are finding it hard to sleep, you should understand that the more nights you sleep poorly, the harder it will be to fall asleep in the next night.

So, the faster we deal with the problem the better for you.

Here I am going to list 3 remedies you must follow if you want to fall asleep very fast.

1. Identify the actual problems

You might look on now and it seems that the problem might just you feel so uncomfortable on the bed.

No wonder you can't fall asleep.

Actually, the true problems started some time ago, it might be weeks, days or even months ago and now it has escalated into insomnia.

I want you to look back and check what you started doing as this will help you understand how to retrace your steps.

For example, I started finding it hard to sleep when I subscribed to MTN's Midnight browsing plan, which allows you to browse unlimited from 12am to 4am for a mere #25 (cheap right).

Well, the cheap subscription killed my sleep quality and in 3 months, I was a walking zombie.

I initially thought it was because of the midnight shows I normally watch on tv, but it was all MTN's fault (my fault actually).

With this, I was able to understand how much sleep I have lost and how much I need to gain back for everything to return to normal.

2. Don't prolong it

If you still find it hard to fall asleep after doing what I said in No. 1, then this No. 2 tip is for you.

Whenever you find yourself staring at the ceiling or tossing in the bed don't force yourself to sleep and don't get up and start chatting or working on your laptop either. That will just prolong your night and if you eventually fall asleep, it would be one of your worst nights and worse of all, it will happen the next night and the next and the next.

Instead try to do something soothing, something that will calm your never.

You can take a bath (which you were supposed to do before going to bed)
Read a book
Listen to smooth, calm music


All these sound like what you do to a child to make him/her fall asleep and yes it does work for adults.

3. Watch what you do before bedtime

Sometimes when I find it hard to fall asleep, it's due to the thoughts in my head. The war between the transformers, the horror movie I just watched, or the naughty chat I just had with that girl from my class, or the numbers, statistics, demographics, and algorithms on my working sheet I just finished or postponed.

Copyright: Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor (realfitbody.com)

All these sure kept me awake and they will do the same to you. If you want to fall asleep faster, stop doing any serious work 30 minutes before bedtime (when I say bedtime, it applies to those who created a sleep schedule).

You can start doing things like I stated in No. 2 to help calm you down prepare you for sleep.

Remember, all these things can only work if you take your sleep seriously, just like the way you take your passwords and pins.

I believe I developed this insomnia nonsense back when I was in school(FUTO can do that to you). Now it's close to 10 years since I graduated and I still fall asleep by 3am and wake up just before 6am on good days, on bad weeks I could stay up for 3 nights straight, with the most horrible headache ever on the 4th day. I was almost addicted to sleeping pills at a point, but now I just row with it or if I really need the sleep, a couple of glasses of whisky could do the trick, but the caveat here is that the sleep only lasts for about 5 hours max.
Either way, insomnia isn't something I'll wish on my worst enemy.

OkunrinMeta:
Wole Soyinka said (when stating his support for biafra) and i quote " If you do not confront your past, you are going to mess up your future". When talking about anything biafra, it is necessary to remember 1967 and let that guide us.

Would you be fine if all the southeast got in this administration is the minister for trade?

Remember you asked me to name one yoruba in Jonathan's top 5 and I named one, I could name more if you like, not forgetting that the south west produced president OBJ before then, so there is absolutely no basis for comparison. Remembering the past as a threat is definitely a no no for me. Remembering the past to learn from it is far different from the threatening undertone that statement held.

OkunrinMeta:
I am glad nobody wants a war.

Can you name one Yoruba man in the top 5 of Jonathan's administration? I don't think the Yoruba Nation started a protest for that.

You said, what has Nigeria done for the east? I ask what had Nigeria done for any part of Nigeria. The average Igbo man is still much better off than the average Hausa Man. Has the decades of rule really favored the North or any part of Nigeria. The only difference is that maybe the people embezzling the funds are more from a part of the country, not that the fund is being used to develop a single part to the detriment of the others.

My point is, we are all victims. We all share in the fate of Nigeria and have suffered enough so we should not shoot ourselves in the foot by trowing political stability into the wind.

Any protest must be peaceful and strategic.

Olusegun Aganga was minister for trade under GEJ's government. But that apart, the average igboman is has a can do mentality that pisses other people from other tribes off. There is this Igbo adage that says "someone who is rejected cannot and will not reject himself". That is why the east is what it is today. What prompted me to put up that write-up was the young man's recall of 1967, that to me is totally unacceptable. I believe the over centralization of power is the problem of this country. If we don't retrace our steps the vast non-oil potential of this country will keep lying untapped.

OkunrinMeta:
One would imagine that in five years that Jonathan was in Power, if these protests and loud requests for secession was brought forward and it was this loud, It might have been easier for the Igbo nation to get what they seem to want.

Of course there is also the question of whether the agitators actually speak the mind of the Igbo Nation. This is because in my corner of the country, the Igbo men I know do not seem to be very much in support of Master Nnamdi. Still, these issues should be addressed by way of logical two way discussion.

So my questions are:

why is the demand for Biafra more pronounced now?

Did the agitators forget what they wanted before?

Did they not want it at the time?

What exactly is the reasonable expectation currently?

Do you want the Hausa man to go and face his onions and cow while leaving the oil for only the east to enjoy because they are very selfless like Jesus?

Would it not have been easier to ask Jonathan to do that?

Are we willing to go back to 1967 to make it happen?

You had my undivided attention on your write up, until you played the 1967 card.
I am an igboman and I have always seen the biafran agitation as a waste of time, because it's way too late in the day to divide Nigeria now. In my opinion these are the reasons for the current upsurge in the call for Biafra.

1) Jonathan ignored the biafran agitators and in his actions as president he included all parts of the country in his appointments(much to the chagrin of the northern oligarchy) that alone spoke volumes in calming down the polity, unlike our current president who through his actions and inactions sidelined a particular section of the country and his 5% comment only added more fuel to the fire of marginalisation burning in the east. His arrest of Kanu only made the young man more popular.

Never play that 1967 card again, because lightening never strikes the same spot twice.

Agreed we have huge unexploited oil fields in the east, why haven't the government encouraged exploitation? It's simply to get a strangle hold of Eastern economy and deprive us of the accruing benefits. All the seaports close to the east have been killed to suppress the igboman and make him go to faraway lagos to get his goods. Why did the North and West go crazy when Jonathan made Enugu airport an international airport or when he started building a deep seaport in Ibaka, Akwa Ibom? Why is Tinapa free trade zone comatose till this day? Don't get me started on the much publicised gift of £20 to every igboman no matter the amount you had in the bank prior to the Nigerian Biafran civil war. But the west and the north still can't phantom how the igboman can still rise and flourish with all the obstacles your likes put in our path. Owerri, Awka, Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, Umuahia where razed to the ground during the civil war, but I make bold to claim that no other path of this nation is as developed (apart from Lagos and Abuja) as these places I mentioned. Never in the history of Africa has a group of people contributed to build an airport not to talk of an international cargo airport, but Imo airport was born through self help contributions, donations and taxes, but the government out of fear reduced it to an airport. I believe it was Prof. Wole Soyinka that said that "it is only an Igboman that can squeeze water out of a stone". We build our own roads, provide our own water what has this contraption called Nigeria done for the East?
I believe in one Nigeria, but never see the gentle strides of Lion as a sign of weakness. Oil is the thin thread holding this country together, let's hope that by 2035-2040 when oil will become obsolete that that thread won't break.

DarkRebel69:
Measurement of intelligence via IQ tests is to me not an entirely valid way of ascentaining the intellectual capability of an individual. Say you test an individual on his literacy and numeracy, and say he performs abysmally, does that justify calling him stupid just because he doesn't meet your standard of intelligence? What if the individual were to be a musical or artistic genius? We often times fail to realize that intelligence is many-faced. Einstein, clever as he was, was still a blithering ignoramus on many other areas of academic endeavour. It's only in rare cases of men such as Leonardo Da Vinci that complete mastery over multiple disciplines has been witnessed.

There are two theories of intelligence (according to Carol Dweck). There is (a)the Entity theory and (b)the Incremental theory. Entity theory posits that intelligence is fixed, ergo, however hard you try, you still wouldn't be able to augment your intelligence nor will it decline by itself regardless of whether or not it is stimulated (IQ tests seem to lean towards this theory i.e. that intelligence is a fixed and rigid entity).

Incremental theory on the other hand – of which I'm an adherent – posits that intelligence is fluid, and that it can by dint of effort be improved upon, and that it can also be decreased by a perpetual state of mental herbitude or an insufficient amount of cognitive stimulation. That's besides the point by the way.

While I do not trust that statistical figure up there, I can't say it's entirely misleading. Education in its encapsulating reach – literacy, numeracy, (theoretical and practical) knowledge base, etc – shapes and refines the thoughts of an individual. So an individual might be naturally bright but if he's deprived of a sound education he would easily pass off as an incoherent dunderplate.

I think it's fair to say that the more educated an individual is, the more intelligent he or she is likely to be – at least he or she is bound to be intelligent in scholarly affairs.
Now, with an eye towards the low literacy level in many countries in Africa, the wide-spread poverty, the poor quality of life, and also the sub-standard education in both elementary and tertiary level, it becomes hard to ignore the "thick" correlation between education and intelligence.

Today it's a long drawn-out ASUU strike, tomorrow it's the closure of LAUTECH, the day after tomorrow it's another misadventure in the educational sector. With all these educational pitfalls it's not hard to imagine that Africans would score lower than Caucasians on IQ tests. So you see, it's not so much our lack of intelligence as it is our milieu i.e. the disadvantaged environment we find ourselves. That explains why many Africans when placed in a right and conducive environment perform exceptionally well.

Also, our ultra-exuberance in matters of religion and the way we allow our minds to be governed by silly superstitions and obsolete cultural practices has a giant hand in why majority of us think regressively. When the typical African man is one who believes in levitating witches, charms and the likes; and who instead of cudgeling his brains whenever he's faced with a dilemma, chooses to abdicate all rigours of reasoning by entrusting his faith in an invisible God (or gods as the case may be), relying on him/she/it/them to descend from the high heavens to come alleviate his earthly troubles.
Besides our economic disadvantage, majority of our minds are sick and afflicted by religious dogma and tradition. Even the most intelligent African man occasionally says and does foolish things in those moments when he chooses to rely on what his Bible or his Qu'rân demands of him.
Did you know that a research once conducted to assess the wealth of nations revealed a negative correlation between how religious a nation is and how economically prosperous it is? i.e. the more religious the inhabitants of a nation are, the less rich and progressive that nation is.

But, like the Africans we are, instead of admitting that we have a problem, our recourse is to a misplaced show of patriotism, and to begin to rave, as one in a fit of paranoia, about how the Whites purposefully cooked up contraptions like IQ tests as way of denigrating the negroes (Persecution complex). Some nationalistic zealots on this thread even countered that if the average African has a low IQ then how possible is it that they still have the intelligence to defraud Whites in online business. Really? The foregoing is just another evidence of the poverty of our thoughts.

I cannot say that the statistics is entirely wrong, because it isn't.

your comment is quite educative I must say. I have taken quite a number of IQ test myself and I discovered a few facts.
1. A good IQ test puts into account your educational level and whether you are science based, or more leaning towards the artistic side.
2. The higher your IQ the lower your EQ. People with high IQ most times can't relate to emotions the way other people do.
3. The brain needs to be exercised, the more you exercise and give tasks to your brains the more you increase your IQ rating.

On the religious aspect, I'm not really much of the religious type. But I just choose to believe in the existence of a supreme all powerful being in other to keep my sanity. The more people are enlightened and illuminated, the less they tend to cling on religious fallacy as a source of succor

All I can see is a homo sapien, blocking the beauty of the Ford F-series beast. Dyamnnn!!!
