Lindsay Clancy wannabe.

Deep down many women want their babies dead especially the ones who their babies obviously retired them from that oldest trade. Tell me the difference between what this woman did and throwing a new born baby into drainage and refuse bin.

Listen, maybe all that time the guy thought they could not have kids; the wife was codedly doing contraception.
She never wanted any kids.
Having kids would have stopped her possible "side hustle."

Many women are not cut out to be mothers, but we all assume they are due to biology.
Around 50% of ladies will still blame the guy for not keeping his car promise with alacrity.
Some will also blame the man who goes out to work/hustle all day for not taking over the baby chores.

Had the child lived, she would have been celebrating her "sweet mother." For years, after hard work has kpaied the father.

Guys, look after yourself o. Nobody send you. Not family, not anybody.
God forbid, if you drop dead today, all that wealth you think you are building will be inherited by those who, deep down, don't really care about you.

For me the disturbing part is not even wanting Africa to bigger on the map, it is people opposing it. Like, wtf do you even gain from it?

Making Africa look small/irrelevant makes some people feel better about themselves.

When people see a big African landmass on maps in the West now, they may start asking about our population. They will discover many more facts. Not the 100% poverty story of Band Aid and We Are the World songs.

Right now, in New York, London, Paris, Hamburg, Rome, Sydney, Tokyo, Beijing, and New Delhi, people think Africa is just one country. Where people walk around with dusty buttocks. Ask ordinary people in the streets of these cities. Some will have university degrees but will describe Africa as one country,

If more of the truth becomes known about Africa in the West, many will start to question the UN Security Council make-up, etc.

Arostar2023:
The question you should be asking is why the “west” opposed the redrawing of the world’s map to reflect the true size of Africa for many decades? Sometimes, perception is reality. Btw, the desert is not entirely useless, if you know what you’re doing. Northern Nigeria produces more food than southern Nigeria, despite the former having abundant water resources. And the state of Israel turned the wilderness into productive agricultural land.

I wonder o. So, for OP, if grandpa's land in the village is 2000 x 2000, but there is only an 8-room face-I-kick-You house on it, jealous/wicked neighbours like Chiwetalu Agu's Nollywood film figures should use their mouths to reduce it to 100 x 100?

Let the land/Africa be unproductive for now; hopefully our descendants will do better.

Listen, the bad girls have long understood:

-The transactional nature of life and relationships.
-They are more pragmatic.
-They know what both good and bad men want. Being prude is a no-no.
-They know how to use their feminine assets to manipulate men.

Above all, their exposure means they can sniff out good and bad guys from miles away.
So, they do not have the naivety of good girls. Baddies are go-getters and decisive.

Remember that it is much easier for a trader who has traversed the Onitsha market 300 times to identify original and fake products. Compared to a novice.

Bad guys usually marry "better" girls than good guys too.

Mariangeles:
You see how Nigerians keep treating these people right? Later, they will turnaround and be ungrateful.

If it were the other way around, they probably would've treated Nigerians like intruders.

Like now, if they were Nigerians, they might be in detention in Sao Tome. Accused of/ framed up for one thing or the other. Depending on their Nigerian tribe, tribal gbas gbos would have erupted on Nairaland by now.

Waiting for the day when all this churchiness will truly make people better citizens. No corruption, tribalism, yahoo yahoo/plus, cultism, kidnapping, one-chance criminals, gbana peddling, defending failure, etc.

Until then, it's fair to say the Norwegians, Swiss, Chinese and such are those who know what they are doing.

For now, we are mimicking the old religions of our conquerors and enslavers.

Jihadists into the North, sharp-nosed, pale conquerors from Southern waters.

MemoriesAndMe:
Why

Why should they be side chicks if not for their greed/selfishness? They are never satisfied - their boyfriends/husbands do their best for them, but they want more from other richer men. Isnt that prostitution?

Have you ever seen a barber, shoemaker, hawker with a side chick? The side chicks are all gold-diggers and only want someone rich regardless of his marital status. Same with Aristo girls on campuses - too many prostitutes calling themselves dufferent names.

Why would the legislators be concerned about prostitutes/side-chicks/runs girls?

A vulcaniser who rented the front space of an undeveloped plot as his office was one of the most prolific womanisers. He was married with several kids.

Mind you, poverty was less. Buhari wasn't yet around in his first round as military HoS, let alone IBB coming with SAP.

The naira was a bit stronger than the dollar.

The vulcaniser's regular daily income was already enough to attract seemingly fine ladies.

Some bus/taxi drivers have several side chicks as we speak.

How comes the picture in 2018 is brighter than that of 2026

In the current economic climate, he must permute not to paint again until 2036, BGG.
Dull colours won't easily show dust gathering too quickly.

In 2018, he was still doing leftover Shakara from the GEJ economy.

Redman44:
We should admit that the USA has been very fortunate to have had very good founding fathers and great Presidents. The likes of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, etc made great decisions that propelled the USA to great heights. We have a LEADERSHIP problem in Nigeria. We are stuck with thousands of bad leaders who continue to sink the country deeper into poverty and underdevelopment 🙏.

On the back of slave labour, robbing First Nations people, and annexing Mexican lands.
Yeah, they did great for Whites at the cost of other races.

Both Wike and Amaechi are useful idiots.

Coconuts of the highest order.

bewla:
Fone girls they this country she may be even ugly to some but all same congratulations

She nor ugly but you know how we dey shoot ourselves for foot anyhow.

Na so IBB go choose Baba Iyabo that year to be 9ja candidate for UN Sec-Gen. He left Joe Garba, Joy Ogwu and other seasoned diplomats wey we get.

Of course, Butros Ghali, who spoke Arabic and English and had done his PhD in France decades earlier, was easily preferred. Baba Iyabo speaks Yoruba and English only. Yoruba is not a UN working language. Candidates needed 2 UN languages. Wole Soyinka speaks French and would have been acceptable worldwide.

When the US refused Butros Ghali's second term, Kofi Annan stepped in. Annan spoke French, Swedish, Twi, Yoruba, etc. And of course, English.

Na so 9ja take miss that chance.

Glutathionus mother and daughter .
Gold diggers

So, Pa Ned wants to use her to fight off oxidative stress and slow down ageing, bah?

Sure, the girl looks full of glutathione. As for her mum, lips sealed.

Physiological/biochemical sense wee nor kee you.

A nice take on ravenous chopology.

Stephen0mozzy:
Well, they're good to their citizens. There are some surreal scenes from that country. I hear they declared neutrality during the World Wars (Not sure if 1 or 2)... so there's some innocence there too.

Switzerland has remained neutral since the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Like over 210 years ago.

So, they have been hosting opposing factions to settle disputes. It became a diplomatic hub. So, people have safely kept their wealth there since. Because no war will destroy the country.

They have been able to focus on the economy and welfare instead of huge defence budgets and fighting wars.

But it is a VERY expensive place despite the high wages. Those working in Switzerland but living across the border in France or Germany really enjoy it.

Anybody wey talk for man and woman matter dey waste time.

ManirBK:
164 nations voted yes. The UK, France, Germany – all yes. Even former colonial powers said it's time to correct the map.

The United States? No. They called it "superfluous."



| The hypocrisy is breathtaking. A nation that claims to lead the world on human rights and equality – but when it comes to showing Africa at its true size, they vote no.

They say it's not necessary. But why? Because an accurate map doesn't serve their narrative?

Africa is 14 times larger than Greenland. That's not politics – that's science. And the US just voted against science.

The map is corrected. The US can stay on the wrong side of history. 🌍🇳🇬

USA, rather, Trump, also recently opposed recognising the slave trade as a crime against humanity. And for posterity's sake, so that we don't forget, Israel and Argentina did the same.

UNESCO declared in 1974 that ancient Egypt was a black civilisation. Yet, many in the West still don't want to accept it. The clear scientific evidence from people like the late Prof. Cheick Anta Diop does not fit their narrative about black people.

Yes, the West has been lying to itself since the dawn of the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages set the West back in terms of knowledge of the original world and peoples.

They have still not recovered from it. Despite going to the moon, AI and all that. Africans preserved that knowledge in our stories, tales, and traditions.

Nice2023:
I currently don't have a job and still have four children...

Toh!

Kajaard, come and hear your brother o.

So, wetin you wan do now?

I guess 4 kids and counting.

Oga Nice2023, fire on. Nothing do you.

Wait o, I wonder how our grandparents raised such a large brood those days.

To be frank o, even N1m monthly income can't conveniently feed and house a family of 5 in Lasgidi, PH or Abuja, save for emergencies, and invest a little as well. It's a precarious life. One serious illness or accident can ruin everything.

No wonder people are so religious.

Bluna:
Ogun is the god of iron. He was also an hunter. On his festival day, people can display any object made with iron, including weapons like dane guns, cutlass and others. But you can't use it to harm others o

Ogun is more than that, actually.

It's the path maker and god of technology and innovation.

Even in the Western World, the discovery of iron was the game-changer for mankind.

Iron Age began earlier in Africa than in Europe.

Unlike the Stone and Bronze Ages, in the Iron Age, humans could finally use iron to fabricate good equipment to cut trees, clear bushes, till and work the soil, dig sand to make bricks, cut timber to build houses, make better hunting equipment, etc.

It was as important to them as discovering electricity, mobile telephony or the internet for us modern people.
Iron might have been even more important to early humans because it helped to meet their most basic needs: food and shelter.

lightwind:
That's why the wicked British people handed Nigeria over to Fulanis.

That's what we are seeing today, saying an Igbo man can't be President of Nigeria bla bla bla!

But Zik sided with the British to oppose the secession clause in our constitution. Ironsi brought the unitary government. Some Igbo leaders seriously goofed. They were too ideological, and not pragmatic enough. Although hindsight is a good thing. To be fair, perhaps they reckoned Igbo, being excellent at travelling and settling across 9ja, would benefit more from an open Nigeria.

Remember that the Midwest (which included Itsekiri) was neutral when the Biafra War started until Biafra invaded the Midwest. Midwest, like the larger South-South in general, had no reason to fight Biafra. They saw themselves as kin, more or less.

Whatever brainwashing happened or succeeded, it only did so during and after the Biafra War. There were just too many scars. Before that, no chance.

So much about the gender that wants equal rights.

No shame, no responsibility, no accountability.

All she can offer is transactional gwokirigwo.

Infotubia9ja:
The answer is very simple.. they are very ignorant and uneducated. Because they think embezzlement of public funds to go buy houses abroad in this case either usa or UK is a good investment for them to have and sell in the future for greater profit. And without them knowing what they digging their grave.

Some buy houses with HOA and most times they forfit their houses to HOA fines due to lack of metainance culture.
Secondly they will want to sell in the future thinking they making profit but not knowing thats not how most american and UK economy works for example right now in america there is a housing crisis where people are not buying or selling their houses due to interest rate and now houses that one of those politicians may have bought for about $3million five or eight years ago is now worth about $1.7million which is a huge loss in value.
They dont live in those houses just lock them up or give to friends and relatives to live in and with time the house will start having fixing issues and they waste extra money for repairs over and over thereby sinking more money or sell at a huge loss.
Also every year, they pay morgauage taxes like yearly to the thousands which is stipulated by law. And in some cases, they dont pay for some years and the government takes the house from them.

Moral of they story they think they are making smart investments but they are not. Instead of them to use that money to invest in nigeria to make nigeria great like for example creating a new hydro power plant to power a full state 24/7 they use the money for personal gains at the end they all kpai and leave those stollen wealth behind such an irony of life.. greed to the last.. leaving other young generations to suffer for their actions. Such a pity

Spot on. In NJ or Illinois (Chicago area), a one-million-dollar house will incur around $1,800 to $2,000 in property tax per month. Every month. Some counties/districts in Texas even cost more for the same house value.

You may have to go to places like Arizona, Hawaii, and maybe Alabama for lower taxes.

Even former celebrities who fall on hard times struggle to meet taxes on their multimillion-dollar properties in the US.

Stephen0mozzy:
It's not about who has been older in politics Sir. Nigeria is not your Old Boy's Association.

The question that we're all waiting to verify from economic improvement without unbelievable inflation is this:

ARE YOU COMPETENT TO LEAD US TO THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAMS SIR? IF YOU SAY YES, WHAT HAVE YOU SPENT THE LAST 3 years doing.

Your greatest rivals are Nigerians who are fed up Sir 🤗

The irony is not lost on the Old Boys' Association.

Only for those who have an O.B.A. Who nor get secondary school nor get O.B.A.

clarocuzioo:
Just imagine my state Imo. APC is a plague that shouldn't happen to any state or country.

Wait fess na. Let them publish how they spent the money.

You go surprise that a state that spent 10 billion on education actually did more impactful work than one that spent 30 billion.

In a nation of padded budgets, the more you look, the less you see.

How much of the alleged sums vanished into private pockets?

Well, nobody doubted Zidane and Rooney. Both became bald quite young.

In fact, that woman go tey for her father's house, or better still, let the pastor marry her or find her another husband.

KillahPriest:
"...Adebisi further disclosed that the Chief Security Officer of the cinema had been taken into custody as investigations continued..."

WHY ?

Just pray that nothing puts you in contact with the NPF except a simple roadblock.

The most terrible 9ja institution to encounter. They can actually wantonly kill, and nothing will happen.

I pity the CSO. They may accuse him of causing the mob killing.

APOPTOSIS:
Wife is probably very terrible.
If women could unite like this to unseat her and enthrone Side chick, then she would have goofed terribly

Maybe the hubby is a kind and generous bwoda adugbo.

You know some personable guys the neighbours like more than the wife.

The wife may not be terrible but may not be popular either.

That the neighbours were even keeping watch to warn the side chick is hilarious. She must have been coming there often, and everyone knew, except the wife.

HawkTuahGirl:
You are wrong As a man just dont be satisfied with one woman. thats the correct statement. I have seen a poor man in one room maintaining 4 wives.

The reason the 6 wives look good and "appear" happy is that there is money.

Many wives in poverty is hard life. Especially for the man.

Unless the man has had a vasectomy and plans not to have kids. Otherwise, there will be loads of almajiri, thieves and nuisances.

As a dude, just have enough money. E get why.

omoredia:
The most sensible people in Nigeria by a mile

Very sensible people.

9ja na upside-down country.

I have said this: an ambulance for a dead body nor make sense for decades.

Let savvy people start hearse business. A new opportunity.

An ambulance is for the sick, injured, or in an emergency.

erad:
Which one is Atiba university again? Nigeria and giving licenses to every Tom, dick and Harry that has money to throw around. Institutions that can't even structurally match government secondary schools.

Dude, Alaafin Atiba established the Oyo Kingdom at the current location after the Fulani Jihad war destroyed Oyo-Ile (old Oyo).
In fact, the current Oyo is Oyo Atiba, to be precise.

I heard they don't teach history at school anymore.

We did all that at school in those days, including El-Kanemi and Kanem-Borno, Obas/Kingdom of Benin, the Hausa Kingdoms, the Arochukwu Confederacy, etc.

The issue is that some private universities want to grow too quickly, instead of focusing on a few courses first and achieving excellence in them.

OriOko88:
Is he the youngest king in the world?? There's a young king in Ondo state of about 28 years old, I know of

They mean that, as of 1995, when he became the Toro king at age 3, he was the youngest.

The Dein of Agbor once held that record at age 2.

The king in Ondo is about 23 years old. The Arinjale-Ojima of Okeluse. He became king at age 16.

Is this how we do collections in Nigeria? Na wa o!

I was building a Multimodal AI collections contact center software (SMS, email, call, WhatsApp). If this is the level of resistance from defaulters, AI go tire o. Whereas same solution in the US is getting steady traction

9ja can frustrate any effort.
