Oga, you are writing old English…
That word is kudus!

Haba! It's KUDOS. It's of Greek origin.

The closest to your Kudus is Kuddus, or even Quddus. An Islamic word for sacred.

Unless you support West Ham United, with their player Kudus.

Great, nostalgic pictures of a bygone era.

Looks like early 70s and ordinary Nigerians
could afford Japanese Honda motorcycles.
Minimum wage could have been N70 and the
bike cost N350. Therefore with careful planning
and available hire purchase facility, you could
get one and pay over 2 years.

Even in 1978, you could buy Yamaha 80, chassis for 600 Naira. Strong and economical fuel-wise.

This one Nigeria shit is messed up.

Imagine some lone that all he needs to get in an exam is just 2 marks to get admission.

It's those people they will later be top politicians and top civil servants that will that will make laws and policies that will govern the whole country.

It will never be well with whoever decided to almagete north and south Nigeria together.

It will also not be well with those that did not allow succession clause in the constitution of Nigeria. I heard it's nnamdi Azikiwe, I don't know how true that is.

It's true but look at his history. According to his 1973 book about his Nativity and Origin, he was born in 1904 in Zungeru, Niger State. He traced his father's and mother's lineages to Benin-City. The Ezechima (Prince Ikhimwin of Benin). His family were already in Zungeru in 1904. Ojukwu was also born in Zungeru, a major railway hub back then.

His working and political life with Herbert Macauley was in Lagos. So, he felt truly Nigerian and was a true Pan-Africanist. He also did it to protect Igbo people. Igbo had been living across 9ja since the 19th century (1800s) before 9ja was even created. Igbos dominated police, civil service and other positions as at 1960. Initially, Zik wanted to pursue his political ambitions in Western Region, not East. We all know that story.

So, for Zik, 9ja Unity was more beneficial to Igbo and himself back then, and he was right.

But things changed, especially after the January 1966 coup, and Biafra War the following year. We are now talking with the benefit of hindsight.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


By the way, which kind yeye peace talk allows terrorists to come out with RPGs and AA guns?

And we now have "terrorism experts" in the North?

[b]Buhari, history will never be kind to you.[/b]

And those who packaged, deceived and forced Buhari on us for their selfish gains.

Amin!

Don't just blame govt people. This is a common trait in 9ja people in recent decades.

We do things anyhow. Because when people needed to do things right, they used money, long-leg and tribal advantage to get ahead.

No attention to detail. If you insist on things being done correctly, they brand you "ITK, Oversabi, etc."

Hmmmmm.
We want facts based on archaeology, ancient oral records, consistency across various tribes, etc.

One should be open-mind. But making assertions without exhaustive research work is not good enough.

BabaAgba79:
Please, try not to get killed by another man! If Tinubu had been killed before he took off on excile, he wouldnt have become the Nigerian President!

Yeah, just try to stay alive first. Who kpai, him own don finish.

Berankis:
So are you saying if a man doesn't find a job close to his home, then he shouldn't work? Is that enough reason for a wife to go out or bring in another man to get her pregnant and keep it from the husband?
Or what exactly is your point? You women always want to eat your cake and still have it. You want it all but unfortunately, life is never like that and it will never be.

That guy you quoted na joker.
The breaking news is: If as a man you have not done DNA test on your kids, just assume you have no biological children.

This South African wans to revoke his own Visa, dump Trump will not mind loading Musk into the next available flight back to his native home in South Africa, I hope Musk will not open the plane's door while in the air and jump into the Red Sea, because he knows he will be whipped mercilessly in South Africa

He can also deport him to Canada. His granddad left Canada to SA.

People are talking of trust. Trust is one luxury guys cannot afford o. Unless you want to raise other men's kids in your house.

Remember, about 30% of all kids and 35% of firstborn kids belong to some dude outside.

Guess what? Trusted wives do it the most. They know the hubby will never suspect.


At least, a cheating guy can't deceive his wife to raise a child from another woman.

A woman can simply walk away if hubby cheats.

If you have been raising bastards, you find out and kick her out, she still gains. The kids are still has and you helped her raise them.

So before you marry and at childbearing phase, check her. Raise no bastards.

Both are bright, urbane and grassroots politicians.

Both are also princes.

So, they know what they are doing.

One comes from Governor's Ilaje zone and other from Deputy Gov's Owo zone.

So it's fair to create more equity.

omoredia:
Liars. Why una never come back? F!re hot but u still dey inside

Omoredia, I was not expecting this from you.

So, imagine you spent £15k for a Masters in Project Management, extra costs for flight ticket, visa, renting a flat/studio and finish after a year. You now spent around £3k on visa extension post-study. So that person should just pack his bag and return to 9ja? And he shouldn't let others know of his own reality?

I know many in 9ja have bad belle towards abroad people. But come on.

I stopped advising people about coming or not coming abroad about 10 years ago.

I tried to be honest with people, so they can be ready (intentional) about coming. Due to similar comments like yours, I just tell them good luck. Nothing more.

CJStarz:
revered leader not referred leader

Allow him use our SW phonair as he like jor.

He literally wrote it as many of us say "v".

Ok, El-Ruffian will soon say Urban bandits and bush bandits killing and kidnapping are the same.

After all, he once said Northern kidnappers are businessmen.

specialmati:
you will keep wandering.you didn't see the part of David being broken and merciful.see how you are commenting with strong heart.ask God to give you a broken and a merciful heart.you need it

Which person heart never break before? Even without committing heinous acts, our hearts can still break. The hearts of 22 Kano athletes' family members nor break?

See millions of 9ja people with broken-heart plus poverty.

David still had his crown, palaces, wives upon wives, wealth, etc.

Idi Amin lost his position, went to live and die in Saudi holy hand. You think he was not broken? Did anyone rehabilitate him? No.
Oya, go kill a man and take his wife. When caught, tell us how broken and merciful you are. Alagbon Close go really pity you.

We dey too let religion blind us.

gohf:
Did David keep the commandments more than Saul?

What commandments did Saul break?

David a man after God's heart because he was broken hearted and merciful.

Do you know how many times David broke the laws of Moses?

I wonder.

David had all the girls he could ever want. Yet, na married woman hin eye dey.

To the point of engineering her hubby to be exposed to the highest possible war front danger to be "cannon fodder".

Bible writers portrayed an adulterer and killer to be "man after God's own heart".

If David was an African man, he would be portrayed like Idi Amin.

Like most Pharaohs (African people), were painted as evil.

Egyptians called their country "KEMET". It means black.

If you want to hide something from Africans, hide it in a book.

sagitariusbaby:
Shame on the INEC governor of Edo state. Everything he touches turns to dust. Again, Shame.

There is another way to look at the table. By total number of medals, Edo came second. Over 100 silver. That's how many others count it.

The result reflects rate of urbanisation (stadia) and other facilities in average-sized towns in Edo and Delta.

Delta has more good-sized average towns. Both states are estimated to be about 8 million population each.

Both states as Bendel were up there since time of Ogbemudia as Military Governor.

Both states can keep doing better, irrespective of who the governors are.

DarkJeddi:
She didn't have a better option.
Women knows where their bread is most buttered.
She ain't with him because of love she was there because that's her best long-term option.

Gbam! Even the Bible did not command women to love their hubby. No love from that side. Bible only says women should obey their hubby.

Even Eve could not love or obey Adam in Eden.

So who be us to expect woman's love?

Women dey play coupon. Perm 3 from 5. The Garri talk na format. Na big scam.

HawkTuahGirl:
Most Nigeria women struggle with you because they don't have better options.

Dem even dey see other men behind your back. No loyalty anywhere. But you happen to be the only single among her men. The shareholder without other commitments, as an insurance. Babes too dey play guys.

Omoawoke:
There’s no achievement in this….

Dem need to win Okokomaiko zonal primary school cup join am first. Dem never complete am.

They are just hyping themselves.

Lanruze:
The two (2) most over-hyped people on this Obasanjo internet are ;

1, Peller
2, VDM.

Lol, Baba Iyabo don patent internet?

OBJ granted com licences on our behalf na. Na awa internet.

Arostar2023:
Hmm... Africans and obsession with ethnicity. Too much diversity is a recipe for disaster and confusion . It's time Africans start consolidating into a strong unified force. Check out the Whites , in the USA, you can't tell apart people that have Irish, English, Scottish, Polish, etc. origins. The Hutus are fighting the Tutsis. One black man from Ogbomosho is busy fighting another black man from Anambra...all from the same country.

So you didn't do history. Ahmadu Bello said 1914 amalgamation was a mistake. When he died in 1966, 9ja was more united than now.
Pa Awo said Nigeria is a mere geographical expression. When Awo died in 1987, 9ja was more united than now, despite IBB's SAP.

Remember these are two of the founding fathers.

Only Zik of Africa was a dreamer. Either he didn't know wazzup or he refused to know.

If you buy into one9ja that the founding founders already rubbished, na you know.

thesicilian:
I said it with 47 major trophies in the cabinet

Yes o. YNWA.

Some people dey parade Donald Duck abi Winnie the pooh trophy.

Only those with Liver dey parade EPL and Champs League trophies like water.

Anything step--, my hand nor dey.

Na thankless job.

Broveens42:
The existence or invention of circadian rhythm in the actual sense reduces life span as you are structuring your system to react to a particular pattern (Unnatural/anti-science)
Any normal human being should sleep at anytime or work at anytime.

Our forefathers would farm or hunt(at their convenience) for few hours, trek back or use the bicycle to their huts, sleep for several hours, wake, and have mind blowing sex with wife/wives.

In igbo land, there were very familiar responses whenever you did visit a particular household like; "nna anyi na ehi ura" meaning "our father is sleeping".

Most people think, sleeping too much is sedentary.. or risk factor for HBP or body weight increase. Sedentary life style is more of psychological (not engaging your brain with a group) eg. If a man sits in front of his house every morning and discusses the news on the dailies with neighbors, it isn't sedentary.

But what the agendist will never tell you is ; the tiniest of stressors will kill you faster in a long run

Lol. No agenda here. Remember that circadian rhythm disruption can increase cortisol level in your blood at the wrong time. Cortisol is a stress/alertness hormone.

Our forefathers slept at nightfall and woke up when cock crows at dawn or sunlight appears. So nightfall, cockcrow and sunlight are all part of natural cues. At nightfall, your blood melatonin level rises. It's a "sleep hormone".

You can measure melatonin and cortisol levels in your blood sample. The link to sleep and wakefulness are clear. So is the link with SCN as central clock. This was a major research area about 20 years ago. Especially it's link to diseases. It still is.

A person who is tired may sleep, so sleeping after walking 10km over hills to and from the farm or hunting, has nothing to do with being sedentary. In any case, our ancestors worked hard, trekked long distances and probably had a calorie deficit daily. So, low chances of obesity.
8 to 9 hours of sleep appears to be the best sleep hours for good health. This is roughly 9 pm to 5 / 6 am, enough jigijigi time within.
Roughly how our ancestors slept.

The circadian rhythm is vital for the human body.

If the sleep-wake cycle is out of sync, it can damage the body.
It means the central clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, controlled in the brain's hypothalamus, is messed up.

For example, people whose sleep pattern is disrupted over years by shift work are at risk.

Body weight increase, HBP, diabetes, insomnia and a whole lot.

Even though sunlight is a vital cue, the body does retain the clock for a long time, even in total darkness.

Jsaviour:
Nigerians are funny people aswear...

People are asking questions about the car to determine if they will buy but seller prefers to be shouting around "buy my market" instead of answering the questions.

Some of the worst when it comes to customer service.
Too much empty pride and lack of focus.

If this car exists for sale, it might be direct brief of a 5th or event person. OP has no proper information about it.

Dilijingsly:
I've been suffering from this ailments since 2016. Is there any cure for it.

Hmmmmmm

9 years is a long time for SJS.

You didn't mention the cause, how old you were when it started, treatment since and previous and current severity.
Any internal organs affected? Any necrolysis?

Was it diagnosed and treated early? Is it recurring or you are left with the scarring?

Maybe you remember medication that may have caused it, or if you were a child, did you have a bout of infection before it started?

How was it diagnosed?

These info will help those who can advise you.

Wait o. This Yul guy, is he related to Kanye West? That one call his child North West that year.

Anyway, congrats!

So, after all the knacks left, right and centre in 9ja, what is special about them?

Only 9ja guys seeking liability will go for "fresh off the boat" bannies.
