Iv never seen a person bearing Monday or Friday that's brilliant. Person Iike okpebolo will never smell any elective post in US or UK. Gross incompetent

Dude, his type dey everywhere these days. Anti-immigrant rants is making some worse than Monday to be voted into office. He just have to hate immigrants enough and openly say it.

Oyinbo own is good because dem get working system. But here, we need the brightest minds to build a working system for us. For the next one hundred years. Maybe we can then afford anyhow people like oyinbo are doing these days.

I keep saying 9ja people sabi gather degrees and some do well in the professions, but we are not smart people. Yes, we are creative for self-aggrandisement and to "better pass my neighbour." Whatever we call smartness is cutting corners and lawbreaking.

Truly smart people find solutions to their problems: insecurity, hunger, disease, poverty, illiteracy, poor amenities, joblessness, etc.

Wickedtruths:
Mattawalle is a semi-illiterate SSCE holder.
How do you expect him to understand the concept of constructive dismissal?

Chai! All dis uppercut early mon mon laidis?

Zaddy Mutawalle, abeg, just go home to sip kunu and play with grandkids.

But this is 9ja. Dem dey use iron wed themselves to power of any sort.

Don't be surprised if they spent more time discussing how to get power back to the North.

They claim Northerners have good leadership qualities. Very funny people.

Make dem dey lie to themselves.

Godfullsam:
Wish one be 'honour killing' again

Who are they honouring abeg.

It's like once you join that religion your common sense disappears.

But then, there are Muslims in my region - the SW and even in my family who have no traces of that kind of behaviours.

It then makes me wonder if it has to do with religion or characters/natures

Culture is a big part. In some parts of the world, culture and religion have been almost merged together, making it hard to know which is which. It appears that ancient local cultures that religion found acceptable became subsumed by religion. So, local variations exist. What is normal in one area may not be the practice in other places with the same religion.

Sonnobax15:

Imagine nominating someone like Reno to an ambassador......... Despite all the insults he poured on Tinubu

Well,even if the nomination is to be considered,let him be the Nigerian ambassador to either Columbia or Mexico .

Those are two countries better than we hail thee. Forget all the Western media propaganda.

He should be sent to Guinea Bissau or Central Africa Republic.

Memphitz357:
The Nigerian Senate under Akpabio is nothing but a house of comedy

Anywhere you see food, chop, says SP.

Anywhere belle face.

Originalsly:
Shettima failed miserably to handle security. Tinubu failed miserably to handle the economy. But yet ... many are proudly supporting his reelection. Something is wrong with us as a people ... it must be suffer and smile is in our DNA.

Dude, are you suggesting scientists should get to work looking for sas chromosome in our DNA?

Maybe a gene variant (an allele) that makes people accept and praise nonsense is dominant in lots of 9ja people. Whereas, it's recessive in other peoples across the world, so nobody ever bothered to look for it.

The peculiarity of this idiocy we see daily needs to be studied at every level. Sociologically and genetically.

nairavsdollars:
Highly insensitive. They just don't care

They never cared.

Their children and grandchildren are safely living in mansions abroad.

We are just pretending not to know our problems.

Some parts of Nigeria are feudalistic and use religion to suppress the masses, another part is fiercely republican, individualistic and money-driven, another part is progressive, religiously tolerant but change too often for others outside that ethnicity to rely on, others are in between, etc.

In all, ethnicity is the only authentic nationality these various people know. No true citizenship as Nigerians. Awo said it long ago.

So, living in an abusive marriage is tantamount to suicide.

That is the elephant in the room.

Every other talk is just hypocrisy.

Kobojunkie:
From your story, what is clear is that you were not an insider to this family and as such do not know the real reason behind why the man decided to go no contact with his parents after he left Nigeria. I suggest you focus your energy on finding out the truth, and stop going around telling these tales by moonlight that Nigerian airheads are notorious for.

Children who go no contact with their parents do so for very reasonable reasons, and most times, things are never as you think they se em.

Nor mind that guy. It's by the grace of God that some people abroad have not broken contact completely. Usually because of the parents.

The evil, envy and bad belle (even from some relatives doing ok in 9ja) is on another level. I believe less than 5% of relatives are worth communicating with. 9ja is in a mess for a good reason: Too many people who are far worse than they appear.

Drifter02:
At 25 years, I've never had a proper girlfriend.. might sound like fiction but it's true

I've actively chased girls all my life.. but I've never actually met any that liked me for me..

This was particularly worse in university.. all the girls I met were dumb and were only interested in chasing good grades instead of just actively existing..

Some are even married now and their lives are still robotic and pathetic.. these days they're chasing corporate certifications and more needless difficult things instead of just calming down and living their lives

Interestingly, the only one that had a school cert I met that gave me her number later told after two years (we never had sex btw) that she feels my family won't allow us marry as I had a BSc and she doesn't.. (young girl of 22 ).. naso she break things up. Bro the reason was just weird and strange. I suspect though she has another man she's attracted to.

All the other girls I keep meeting keep using me for money.. rather than bonding emotionally, it's always send me card.. buy me ice cream.. take me out.. stupid nonsensical crap and whatnot

Bro.. I'm just tired. I earn 100k a month and all I do I just sit indoors, jerk off and hate my life.. it's almost true love died with the last century. Without a partner.. my life just feels hollow and meaningless

Dude, get a few things straight.

First, control your jerking off stuff.

Life is not as idyllic or idealistic as it is painted to be.

Most people out there are not much happier than you.

Relationships are not generally fulfilling. People just try to make the best out of them, or fake it. Let nobody or appearances deceive you. Everyone dey quietly collect woto woto.

You are on 100k monthly, but is the job fulfilling? Does it align with your values? If not plan, towards doing what gives you fulfilment.

Sit down and paint two or three best case scenarios you wish to be in. 5 to 25 years from now.

Once you have re-evaluated yourself and know where you want to be, implement it and focus on yourself. Forget others. People are typically unpredictable. The more you look, the less you see.

Your renewed sense of purpose and confidence will likely attract a decent lady.

Na wa o. The future is female o.

mikeapollo:
Sholay was a banger! Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini

You don old small o if you remember Sholay.
Amjad Khan/Gabbar played the villain very well, in that hill top hideout.

The directors Sippy and son duo did a good job in that film, with the train attacks and all.

Hema Malini was very soft back then.

Good old days.

If the wife left due to maltreatment, he should get a nanny to help raise them. Grandma cannot become a nursing mother in old age again. The son is not dead.

Kaczynski:
nscdc should not exist in the first place

whats their use case again?? lots of irrelevant government agencies like effcc, frsc, nscdc

all these can be sub depts in the npf and npf should be reformed on a large scale.

I wonder. Are the police not meant to protect and defend the civilians and everyone?

Creating NSCDC is an admission of police failure. Instead, police should have different branches. Even many advanced countries have border police.

Too many organs and parastatals provide many posts to appoint people to, and gives FG more opportunities for patronage.

The overheads and recurrent expenditure are gulping resources, leaving little for infrastructural and capital developments.

9ja is too poor to afford a bicameral National Assembly and these MDAs and others.

Resources and oil wells allocated to private individuals are not wealth. We don't control the prices and many other countries have them too.

Let's not even mention looters and corruption.

ZombieTAMER:
I don't even doubt this

same happened in niger and the Governor is asking who ordered the army to leave minutes before the school was attacked..

I can authoritatively tell Nigerians that Tinubu is the one supervising all these massacres..
he's the commander in chief of the armed forces
the one that gives repentant terrorists amnesty..

I doubt it. More likely people he thinks are with him but are actually not. He may suspect them but political expediency and 2027 factor won't let him act for now. He's hamstrung.

Sadly, politicking will lead to more suffering, death, and more until then.

magoo10:
Sovereign nation that foreign terrorists are invading without any form of resistance from the government is not worthy to be called a sovereign nation.

I wonder. Sovereign nation where terrorists control swathes of land. How sovereign is a nation that cannot secure the safety and security of lives, property and territory?

The prof should not let US visa revocation colour his judgement.

He should also rise above tribalism. He lambasted GEJ to no end but kept mute under Buhari (strategic silence to favour Tinubu later) and under Tinubu.

Bahamas95:
Which God is he talking about? Na only Nigeria get God?



These politicians are useless, if they truly wanna save Nigeria they know what to do and they don't need God....... Churches and mosques are littered everywhere yet we're still the most wicked people on earth.

My brother. God suppose punish some people for disturbing Him anyhow. Imagine a father has provided a conducive learning environment, paid school fees, everything top quality provided for the child. Yet he constantly fails woefully at school and keeps calling his father to help.

9ja case is worse than such a wayward child.

Dotherightthing:
We are at war!!!

Has FFK seen the ambassadorial list

I sure say e don see am. May be all the plum postings have been allocated and his name nor dey.

Mr Man, after all this simpological epistle, don't forget to still do paternity test.

A man's loyalty and commitment has never protected anyone from being paternity defrauded.

Quite the opposite. The more mumu and trusting you are, the more she knows you won't suspect a thing.

The perfect condition to sample around.

Kobojunkie:
If your girlfriend treated sex the same way a pr0stitute treated sex, would you not have to pay her then for the time, emotional, mental, and physical energy she expends in the relationship with you?

For many men, all they bring to their relationships is just the money they bring into them. (Many other men are simply terrible in bed, so the sex may indeed be nothing to write home about.) So why do you consider it wrong for a woman to at least gain that much from the relationship? Or is she not supposed to gain any value whatsoever from it all?

OK. A woman with a borehole will still blame a man for poor sex. Or the one who's like a log of wood in bed.

Fact is, you are making out all women to be coded Ashi.
If they are turn official Ashi, the Chinese will make dolls that "return the game" with alacrity. It would be cheaper long term.

Always linking sex with women and money is simply demeaning please. It doesn't help the equality you guys say you want.

A woman expends far less on a relationship than men. Even a married woman consented to being a wife and mother. Is she doesn't want the stress, she can stay single, celibate and childless. In fact any woman can be celibate and avoid men. It's not by force na.

So, the emotional blackmail is epic fail.

jojothaiv:
I just love our Nigerian females particularly the ones we have on Nairaland, they choose the topic they can bark on but once it involves a woman in the wrong you'd see that most of them will be quiet and not even bother themselves to drop their unhinged logical comments.

Next please.

Sadly their attitude does not empower women as they think.
They only highlight failure to be accountable for their actions and always blame men for everything.

The hypocrisy that we already know.

Only about 1% of women say the truth about women here on NL. I hope such women get the very best guys possible as bf and hubby.

Diamond098454:
What can of nonsense is going on here? Why collecting them back? He has been sleeping with this girl, he has been knacking this lady

This is bad

Is she a prostitute? Or what do you call favours for knacking?

Bia, does a woman not enjoy knacking? Why make it look like sex is an ordeal like child labour?

Strange mentality.

Na the guy mumu to have bought those stuff in the first place. It caused that entitlement thing.

Oblongata:
He was 2nd in line Heir to the throne. He is not just anyone.

Not true. Even when Prince Harry was still single years back, and Queen was alive, he was about 9th in line to the throne. With the queen gone and Harry has two kids, he must be around 10th or 11th in line to the throne now. Although not clear how stripping Andrew of his title recently may or may not have affected positions in line.
Prince William and his children, Prince Harry and is children, Andrew and his children all are ahead of this duke.

hegelian:
before nko.. make we dey shout no genocide just to protect islam.. why do you think they are taking over bushes accross the states..sane citizens will start asking what is their end game for taking over bushes across the states..all they need is a clarion call and all hell will be let loose...i just pray the clarion call for this is not anytime soon and hopefully before then, the govt would have woken up or i would have run away from the country but the truth is a very big storm is coming

There is something brewing in 9ja. Sadly, it's something to keep Northern Hegemony.

If Tinubu makes proper changes to the constitution to include fiscal federalism and power devolution to states, the North will not take it. The recent Khaki boys' rumour could have been a dress rehearsal.

Some in the North will prefer a failed state to decentralisation.

See all the phuantastically Kwarrupt African corntrees pack people goo full Brazil. Dem wan go suffocate Amazon fauna over there.

Some of those delegates don't even know what COP means.

Led by Oga pata pata of particular concern, we hail thee.

Una sure say half of that 355 delegates from Benin nor be 9ja so? Or Benin don rotten reach that level too?

Good keep us, now that Naija is not in FWC, man go enjoy the tourney.

No tension to worry about. Just neutral.

RIP to the prof.

See as them quickly call Samuel a Nigerian man.

But Hakeem Olajuwon is American.

If Samuel had won Olympic gold for US or invented something big, he'd American.

deji17:
Even people with terrible odour from that side too will be making noise... Men Gynaecologist are trying sha, especially the decent ones

My brother, let's leave matter for Mathias.

At least, recent Covid-19 has provided a good excuse to use face mask.

Dem nor dey tell person.

These days, you have to be politically correct.

A woman can ask for a female chaperone when with a male gynaecologist.

Emmabyte:
What is going on I thought they gave them rice last week abi the rice don finish ohh na custom give them rice army should give them beans na maybe that's why they are angry again 🤭

Oh boy, we are in a serious dump o.

Time for denial don pass. We need outside help badly.
