rokiatu:So f...ing true on that last bullet. Imagine me a self acclaimed heartless, ruthless dude with commitment issues behaving like a kid in kindergarten when I'm close to my current girl. She's not as flashy as my exes, but I just can't get her off my mind. ![]() On topic, I'm an introvert and my fiancee is even more of an introvert than I am. What counts is your happiness dude. Kids will come, after training them, they'll leave you to go make their on mark in the world, when its just you and your wife, BAM!!! Reality sets in, so it's not always about the kids man, it's who you grow old with gracefully that matters. |
Johnpaul2k2:There, fixed. Thise should never be categorized as humans. I hope the allowance being paid corpers for this exercise is worth the risk they are taking? If I may ask, how much do the corpers, adhoc and collating center staff get as allowance during the exercise? |
Choi, judging from the comments on this thread by the 'ladies', this topic dey pain 'to whom it may concern' well well!!! .Well my thoughts on the matter on hand is this, like the bible said, 'whatever you sow you reap for God is not mocked'. Ladies count your teeth with your tongue. |
ToyozzieTohBad:CONFESS! ![]() This stuff happens all the time, once had a babe that I don't know how her kid sis got my number, called me up we hooked up somewhere and sealed the deal on the second date. Happens even with family not just friends. |
This faqqot needs to be shot ![]() |
Well, people see me as a bookish, spoilt brat with the face of an innocent child that can't do anything on his own. Ohh I just love seeing their faces when the see me in action, their facial expression is just epic. ![]() |
superneutral:Must you punks spam every enjoyable thread on NL with this Bs? ![]() Your mates are inventing stuff like this and all you can come up with is this sickening APC nonsense. MODS this shxxt just has to stop. Politics should remain in the political section for F-sakes. |

rokiatu:Very true, but you just described friendship. I personally believe friendship is the hallmark of marriage. Romance which I believe we all confuse as love fades and dies a natural death. Sex? This we can get from anywhere, at a point it becomes boring to both parties for constantly doing it with one person(I honestly don't know how married people maintain fidelity, cos as they say variety is the spice of life ) But friendship? That ishi is forever.Xup bae? Longtime, where have you been? |
Quite true OP, but you gotta just love the maturity that oozes out of these senior |
Interesting, distinction in igbo pass in hausa, distinction in physics pass in mathematics, with the face of a 70+ man.......... Chai! I give up. Not forgetting the name error. |

Op, I dey talk d one u talk u still the yarn dust abi? ![]() The dollar is getting stronger by the day, Americans spending power keeps increasing by the second all because of this fall in crude prices(which by the way isn't showing any signs of increasing anytime soon) and its 18th of January still no signs of downfall in the USA. Hmmm, OP na 3D I use the look you ooo. |
ChinemeOkpan:You well at all? So amechi & APC have the license to endanger people's lifes having used that stadium twice. I don't think you know,but that your stup!d statement above is actually an indictment on the APC for violating safety regulations. |
To whom a brain is given, common sense is expected. Shall we go back to an era of selective justice and execution of innocent citizens, systemic destruction of the freedom of expression in a democratic environment. My people let's think with our brains. |
“The Crimes of Buhari” – By Prof. Wole Soyinka The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the- scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order Buhari? Need one remind anyone – was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear. The execution of that youthful innocent for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission – was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power. At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again. Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma! Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his corrective rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buharis coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagaris government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility. And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat f’rom dustbins – escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas. The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of discipline, it was nothing short of impudent. Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the judicial processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror. The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism. Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa? One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary structures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases it would appear that they were even closer to fifty – found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders air, sea and land had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets. Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needles eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo later to become an emir- to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment as I later discovered – of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable. On the theme of double, triple, multiple standards in the enforcement of the law, and indeed of the decrees passed by the Buhari regime at the time, let us recall the notorious case of Triple Alhaji Alhaji Alhaji, then Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance. Who was caught, literally, with his pants down in distant Austria. That was not the crime however, and private conduct should always remain restricted to the domain of private censure. There was no decree against civil servants proving just as hormone driven as anyone else, especially outside the nation’s borders. However, there was a clear decree against the keeping of foreign accounts, and this was what emerged from the Austrian escapade. Alhaji Alhaji kept, not one, but several undeclared foreign accounts, and he had no business being in possession of the large amount of foreign currency of which he was robbed by his overnight companion. The media screamed for an even application of the law, but Buhari had turned suddenly deaf. By contrast, Fela Anikulapo languished in goal for years, sentenced under that very draconian decree. His crime was being in possession of foreign exchange that he had legitimately received for the immediate upkeep of his band as they set off for an international engagement. A vicious sentence was slapped down on Fela by a judge who later became so remorse stricken at least after Buhari’s overthrow that he went to the King of Afro-beat and apologized. Lesser known was the traumatic experience of the director of an international communication agency, an affiliate of UNESCO. Akin Fatoyinbo arrived at the airport in complete ignorance of the new currency decree. He was thrown in gaol in especially brutal condition, an experience from which he never fully recovered. It took several months of high-level intervention before that innocent man was eventually freed. These were not exceptional but mere sample cases from among hundreds of others, victims of a decree that was selectively applied, a decree that routinely penalized innocents and ruined the careers and businesses of many. What else? What does one choose to include or leave out? What precisely was Ebenezer Babatope’s crime that he should have spent the entire tenure of General Buhari in detention? Nothing beyond the fact that he once warned in the media that Buhari was an ambitious soldier who would bear watching through the lenses of a coup-detat. Babatope’s father died while he was in Buhari’s custody, the dictator remained deaf to every plea that he be at least released to attend his father’s funeral, even under guard. I wrote an article at the time, denouncing this pointless insensitivity. So little to demand by a man who was never accused of, nor tried for any crime,much less found guilty. Such a load of vindictiveness that smothered all traces of basic human compassion deserves no further comment in a nation that values its traditions. But then, speaking the truth was not what Buhari, as a self-imposed leader, was especially enamoured of enquire of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor both of whom, faithful to their journalistic calling, published nothing but the truth, yet ended up sentenced under Buhari’s decree. Mind you, no one can say that Buhari was not true to his word. Shall tamper with the freedom of the press swore the dictator immediately on grabbing office, and this was exactly what he did. And so on, and on, and on…… http://www.osundefender.org/?p=107456 |
Goodnews |
It's saddening and pathetic that the saying that "the masses have a very short memory" is true and will remain true for a very long time. We have all forgotten the atrocities committed after the 2011 elections. Well, I weep for this nation, when I see people campaigning for a butcher, I'm short of words. Let it be on record that I said this. If we as a nation vote in GMB, 2years down the line. You will all come here to lament. |
ShakurM:Must you guy corrupt every thread with your political propaganda? Some of us have real jobs and nairaland is our major source of winding down. Please stick to the political section and stop polluting other people's fun. @Seun and NL mods, all these nonsense is thread derailment and I think these guys deserve a long ban till at least 2020. All these trash is making NL less interesting. |
Midehi:My dear, you can really say that again. I'm really in trouble. |
Okay OP, this is my dilemma. My main chick doesn't do any of these, but 5 of my side chics dey over do all these things. What do I do? Marry all 5 of them and forget my fiancee? |
@OP, you can't have it all. |
DDeliverer:Modified, That's more like it. |
@OP, agreed I saw and even used some of those items you listed out, but dude if you call me old......hmmm. The kin e-slap you go chop, your brain will restore back to its factory settings. I ain't even 30 yet. ![]() |
Look at this issh, the ladies are all here crying that guys are mean. But truth is no niqqa or maybe a very small percentage is born wicked, you ladies make guys wicked and that's the simple fact. Ask any seasoned player(you may prefer to call him heartless) questions of his past relationships, you'd find out that he was a perfect gentleman till you guys actually destroyed his heart. So you women should stop crying me a river and understand that there's a reaction to every action. |
This is totally sickening for a self acclaimed "Man of God". Na wah o, God is not an author of confusion. But who am I to judge a MOG? God take charge and save we Christians from embarrassments such as these. Is this not the same Mbaka that said in 2003 that he'll tear off his priestly robes and marry, if Chimaroke Nnamani was relected as governor? Chimaroke was reelected and he made a u-turn immediately. Okay ooo. |
