Ha much?

madridguy:
Anyone can missed step and fall down. Both the young and old falls down everyday so nothing new about this.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
God Bless PBAT

Ok, but do you think maybe we should start calling him "fall-down BAT"?

Amujale:
This is completely topsy-turvy, there are many of us who had reservations regarding the previous , 'National Anthem', the complaint was that it wasn't patriot to our territorial nations and and as such the former National Anthem wasn't patriotic to our continent, whatsoever, and that, it posed a dangerous threat to self-identity.

Fast forward to the year 2024, here comes a pocket of nitwts playing politics with people's souls and existences[sic].

In a well-balanced and Africanist world, whoever came up with such a bonkers idea, ought to resign or be relieved of there public office immediately.

Everyone and their mom knows that this apology for an Anthem will be rewritten to meet up with the 21st century and will be written in stanzas that are patriotic to our continent and our continent only, and will be written in a way that actually makes better sense to us the African people, and the leaders of tomorrow.

God help us from these our politicians that are bent on destruction and chaos of our minds and souls.

Absolutely useless.

They cant even give us a proper "National Anthem'.

Actually it demonstrates that Nigerians are open-minded, non-parochial, and non-racist. The anthem was picked by Nigerians after a world-wide competition simply because it was the best. And in my opinion, it is still the best anthem in the world. Good one from fall-down BAT!😆

DeOTR:
And you're sure the NOA version is the certified true copies from the Lady who composed it?
Just read the NOA version and tell me what is correct about those phrases.
No native speaker will speak such grammar in 2024.

😆 Just amazing.
My man, the NOA version has to be the way the lady put it because it is the proper way to put it poetically.
"Nigerians all, and proud to serve..."
NOT "Nigerians all, are proud to serve..." which actually is grammatically incorrect.
Akpabio should have consulted a pro b4 disgracing himself.
You and Apkabio went to night school!😆

DeOTR:
No, it shows you don't know basic English.

You know, this demonstrates why a native speaker of a language is still a native speaker. This was written by a native speaker. People like you and Akpabio only know basic English. It takes massive familiarity with a language to grasp poetic and other aspects of it.
Chinua or Wole will immediately see that Akpabio just exposed his lack of thorough familiarity with English language

What this underlines is that Mr Apkabio is NOT good at English - hence his almost illiterate grammatical explanations.
NOA version is better and grammatically more correct

IgOga:
Hope he is okay o?

A 72 year old falling like that is worrying.

How do you KNOW he's 72? Maybe you know something we don't

Ecactly what we need in times like these - beer!
What a loss!😥

Presidential pardon loading.

Biden promised on record that he won't pardon his son if convicted

lonelydora:
See better country!

Here, Seyi Tinubu and his cohorts have been doing all shades of wrong even selling hard drugs and breachi official protocols, and yet thr country look away.

Look away? They just named a street after him in one SW state

Gadafii:
why is it not healthy

See below

PureGoldh:
Nice write-up

This writer disagrees

https://www.nairaland.com/4237233/reasons-why-should-not-eat

Gadafii:
I drank oat meal, with boiled egg and enough milk, sugar and groundnut this morning, scam kho scammer ni

So? You did it, that mean it's healthy?

richiemcgold:
Do you fast everyday?

Best thing you can do for your health is to have a completely empty stomach for about 12 hours everyday. The easiest way to do it is to eliminate breakfast. You can also do it by having a heavy breakfast about 5am, then don't eat again till supper about 8pm

richiemcgold:
Breakfast is actually the most important of the 3 square meals.

I hope this doesn't make it to fp. Useless post.

But here's the thing - fasting is more important than breakfast, and it is easiest to fast in the morning

He's right but not in the way he thinks, but in this way:
Fasting is good for the body and the easiest time to fast is in the morning because you don't have any strong cravings in the morning - you can easily go till noon without eating and not feel that hungry

themanderon:
America's hegemony over world affairs biz coming to an end. Empires rise and fall.

Sure. They been saying same thing since 1974 when Nixon removed the gold standard.
America's dominance is too multifaceted to come to an end any time soon

DAENNINGA:
Lol... They do things, maybe you don't know or have not seen.

I know and have seen. All the high-end hotels, choice real estate, juicy politics, etc, I don’t see UK-based active in them

No one introduced her to COCAINE
Hire BAT as her coach

DAENNINGA:
Lol... Let's assume that 2k is after tax because it's easy to make 2k after tax.
Let's also assume the person is single.

Rent would cost about £600..
Feeding about £100
Transportation about 100 pounds
Let's now budget £200 charity and extra expenses

Total is £1000

The person now has a balance of £1000 to save.

Let's assume he saves only 800 and spends the other £200 on his family back home.

The 800 he has saved translates to about 1,500,00 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand Naira) Only. In one year he would have saved 18 million Naira.

The man who earns 500k in Nigeria, even if he saves all his earnings which is impossible, whenever the man in the UK returns he would do things that the man in Nigeria cannot even imagine.

Sooo, how come we don’t see all these countless Nigerians in UK returning to perform wonders in Nigeria. If u check it is still Nigeria-based rich folks performing the wonders

Villa12:
abroad is heaven
Naija is hell

Exactly my oga. Soon enough it'll be your turn to experience paradise. Then you'll find out for yourself why these damned people abroad seem to be always complaining - complaining about pure heaven on earth!

Villa12:
thank God you know Nigerian immigrants are making exploit abroad. Don't worry i will soon join them. Make una help us look after naija

But there're also a whole lot struggling too
No place is heaven

Villa12:
animal in abroad has more prospect and future than Nigerian children

Prospect my ass
There are all those born there 70's or so. You read them in the news for crime or so. Immigrants from Nigeria are always the achievers

Boyjaco:
brod japa if that 2k no do u look for another work there for the sake of ur unborn children

Always this unborn child crap. As if those born there in generations past turn out better. Actually usually lost to your heritage and culture

lastkingsman:
According to you:

Earnings - 2k
Expenses - 1.7k

Difference (Savings) - 300£ (570,000 Naira with today's exchange rate).

This is with health insurance, access to more opportunities to progress, security and free education up till secondary school level .

You dey smoke Indian hemp

Someone in UK, struggling and barely getting by, will be reading this your comment and be getting really angry!

MASTAkiLLAh:
we know agbado mentality anywhere by their innate wickedness. They're the only ones who'll say the narrated experiences of an elderly professor are not credible just because said professor is an Igbo man (no be lie o, but no be true whatever that means) Tufiakwa for you people

Consider his story:
People were sent to.KILL him. They TOLD him they were sent to kill him but instead kidnapped him and asked him to settle them. Does that make sense to you? They were HIRED to do a job. Their reputation and livelihood on the line. Who'd hire them next time. What if they were caught going around with him instead of just killing him and walking away

jeromestarks:
You're even more delusional than the man.

They contested for that office. They won. You all put them there. That is what comes with the office - privileges. Y'all agreed that they should lead you. Y'all placed them above you. So how in seven heavens should they earn same as you?

But things ought at least make a little bit of sense.
See below, a US senator makes about 5 times their minimum wage.
A NIGERIAN SENATORS MAKES 1,267 THE MINIMUM WAGE!!!

Story is unbelievable.
Not saying it's not true, just not credible

woojin:
good is not working for me time to try bad

There are intricate reasons why people are "good" or "bad". You'd quickly revert back to your true nature

woojin:
u will not understand

I understand human nature. People are good or bad due to intricate psychological reasons

woojin:
made my decision no time to make noises

Decision ko, decisive ni. As if your being good was yiur choice. It is like saying you have decided to change your height
