The problem with Nigerians is that they misuse the term FRIEND.

Majority of the people they called friends are just acquaintances.


Well, I learnt a new phrase: "SIDE PANADOL"

Acquaintances sef is too generous a word.

They are unknown entities in your space.

That Panadol one sef off me. Those her friends don comot hand for heaven matter tey tey.

bestman09:
Can you imagine someone who has a thriving business, probably a wonderful family too, kidnapping? They should just send him to his maker after his rubbish confession.

I'm telling you. He has boys working and making money for him. All he has to do is go about getting contracts and make more money. Yet he resorted to kidnapping.

Who can you even trust if anyone can be a kidnapper?

Oshin56:
The problem we have in this country is that we don't want to respect others people religion or believe but we will want others people to respect ours simple as abc

It shows that most people, if given the opportunity, are "Boko and Taliban" in their mentality. They would wipe out other people's form of worship.

LOVEGINO:
Where d oloolu dey when bandit dey kidnap?

Have pastors used their churches to stop kidnapping? Or they don't worship a supreme being in their establishments?

Are there not more churches in Oyo than shrines? Don't be a hypocrite.

Is it not Abrahamic religion people bombing themselves to smithereens in the Middle East?

God create some people fine sha. Very nice.

bukatyne:
And what is your business with what your wife does with what's hers after your death?

Even the Bible says death ends a marriage.

Una obsession with control, na wa!

What happens with my wealth after my demise is my business.

Since we know some women kpai their hubby to inherit his wealth. At times in connivance with her lover.

She can do whatever with her lovers when I am not there. They shouldn't need my money to live after me, should they? Unless the amount I deem she deserves in my lifetime.

That would be fair to my female relatives, in my view.

I see no control here, just fairness. But you see, women mostly don't seek equality or fairness but total control.
Remember you have male relatives. Think about that.

An average woman won't leave shishi in her will to her hubby. In any case, they always assume the man will die first.

Whatever the Bible says is not binding on me. My ancestors lived millennia before the Bible came to Africa. We do not operate a theological state like Iran and such states.

Jayhome24:
Pl[b]s amaechi the atiku you are his spare tyre who submitted Msc with no Bsc or BA pls which University will give you MSC with no Bsc or BA pls I want to know

Amaechi we are warning you if you over-rated yourself we will dump you at ICPC, Efcc and DSS quarters as we did to el rufai so be warned for the very last time...
[/b]

Atiku did a diploma in Law in the 1960s, did several senior Customs officer courses and ran businesses.

His degree in international relations would be very easy to get into an MA as a former VP, represented 9ja in various international meetings and organisations when OBJ could not attend. Find out from ARU, the UK university Atiku earned his MA from.

Even getting into a BSc course in the USA is possible if you do your pre-degree course. So, the issue with Tinubu is not that he has no FLS or WASC/WAEC before going to university. But that he once declared under oath that he had one in Nigeria, from a school not in existence by then. And whether he presented a borrowed certificate to enter university in the USA. That was the irreparable damage Tinubu argued would happen to him in a USA court if his University record were disclosed.

As a matter of curiosity, what manner of irreparable damage could possibly happen to you or me if our universities produced our records? The records we already supplied to our employers anyway?

People in high positions must be honest, transparent, and demonstrate integrity, as a good example to those they govern. It might favour you, your tribe or the politician you support now, but our kids and grandkids will suffer for it. Because we will keep running a country where anything goes.

We cannot suppress truth and integrity due to tribe or politics.

Sure, ogbonge certificates don't mean that a politician will be any good at delivering goodies of democracy. But at least, minimum standards of integrity should be a starting point.

Thank God, the herdsmen have left him alone.

The veg looks very nice.

bewisemasses:
How are u sure she's repented. What if she backslides, can u reverse ur marriage

Dude, that job has no retirement or repentance. Only recess.

When the opportunity comes, and circumstance warrants it, she dey go back.

Not every olosho works at Allen Avenue.

Some do it with their boss at work for promotion, with their co-worker for the thrill, etc.

So, the sad truth is over 90% of olosho are coded ones. They are fiancées, girlfriends, wives, mothers, aunties, regular girls, students, working-class, etc.

EmmyMaestro:
I don't have much to say. Let us wait for Sonoobax15 and Lalami3233

Oh boy, just don't involve Lalami3233 in this matter o.
It's obvious the woman is not a virgin.

Does Lalami3233 need to advise on paternity test with this lady again?

zoomman:
Nigeria is sixth on the log not seventh. Kindly do your research carefully. At least in Africa, we are representing.

Even better.

Typo @ 7th. Jah people are 7th.

Old table.

9ja now 7th, with 10 Gold, 7 Silver and 7 Bronze.

LibertyRep:
"Unholy" who determines when and how nations can relate?

I guess that Yung Kim lady from the USA is the "Pope of the World."

Very funny people.

The new multi-polar world is here to stay because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

No one should lord it over others unchecked.

Chummynoni:
Can you see how these numbskulls ruin this country ? You can't even see a job of 50k with these rubbish CVs in this present Nigeria 🤦 .

Their education levels are not bad.

Amaechi also has an LLB and BL as a qualified lawyer.

Atiku did other diploma-level studies and several customs officer courses.

In countries with strong institutions, less educated people turn around the fortunes of countries when elected.

But corruption won't let us progress.

voortrekker966:
You might be too young to understand the problem between OBJ and Atiku Abubakar. Atiku wanted to take over by all means in 2003. He had the political structure behind him to take over and deny Obasanjo a second term in office. Obasanjo practically knelt down and begged Atiku for a second term in office. It's that kneeling down that OBJ don't want to forgive.

That's because IBB and other Northern powerbrokers chose OBJ to come in for 4 years and calm SW people down, due to the MKO saga.

They thought OBJ would be grateful to be from prisoner to president, even for just 4 years.
They also trusted him more than any Southern person to hand it back to the North. OBJ controversially handed over to Shagari in 1979, against his own SW and Ogun State man, Pa Awo.
OBJ looked the most pliable to the North.

Northerners have a long memory.

So, for OBJ to want to go for a second term irked many Northerners, especially those who nursed the ambition of succeeding OBJ in 2023. Of course, OBJ had the constitutional right. But the North had to put him in power first to have that right.

This is the kinda story you tell kids under ebelebor tree in the evening.

Does this woman resemble someone who can suffer with a poor guy?

Unless she herself is the side chick.

Gallivanting with an ex-girlfriend is usually a bad idea.

GeneralOuki:
30 shekels? Someone that has been selling out his country for just a stick of agbado? Let's be serious please.

Namaster:
Thank you for this.

Spain STOLE the land from Morocco.
This is just Morocco TAKING IT BACK.

And current Arabs in Morocco stole African land from Black Africans from the 5th to the early 8th Centuries AD.

The Moors (largely black people, with some Arab mix) ruled much of Spain from about 710 to the 15th Century AD. When King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile defeated the black Moor king and his Black mother that ruled huge swathes of Spain. All of them na thief.

Na black get those places historically.

Follow Dr Robin Walker's history on YouTube. You will learn a lot.

Omoawoke:
The sweetest thing about people like you who come out to talk and pretend like they are smart is that you cannot practice what you preach ..

Simply go to South Africa and declare your support for them..

People are trying to kpai you and don’t like you, the op you are here supporting has boldly hit his chest and said he doesn’t like you Nigerians and it doesn’t matter what tribe you are and what you do and whether you are innocent or not..
But you come here with eye service to kiss azz… lmao

People like you will always suffer in this life

Many of our people suffer from self-loathing.

In trying to understand why, I narrowed it down to lack of self-love, inferiority complex and lack of sense of true citizenship.

Being 9ja means nothing to most people due to decades of disenfranchisement.

The guy you quoted, like many others, would easily sell 9ja and its interests down the river for 30 shekels.

Kalaskala:
I wonder how some of you reason, move to other countries fast as na them papa dey in charge of immigration or border control. Where will they even have the money to transmit?

Most may not be poor academy kids o.

Some may have relatives from across Europe waiting to pick them up.

Planes that brought "supporters" were already returning almost empty in the mid to late 90s. I see am koro koro, with even top FIFA tourneys.

As Oyinbo make legal japa tough, such tourneys give officials opportunity to get paying people on board. 5 to 10k Amerigo D per head is not uncommon. Na normal KUN-Work (planned stuff). Na common format.

pulsa:
Lol 1994 olympics so many people in Lagos Island japa during that period as they were the most exposed then.

You probably mean 1992 Barcelona or 1996 Atlanta. Na normal thing.

LordLicifer:
%1000 true, but these absconders would believe that this is their only chance in their lives to achieve whatever dreams they may have in Europe.

Imagine, 14 to 17 years olds and few adults forsaked their country Ethiopea to seek greener pastures. Most of them eventually would not be footballers anymore rather menial jobbers and cleaners after they might have gone through the Swedesh asylum long system , some may even end up in the UK

Truth is, perhaps only 1 to 5% ever had a chance of becoming pro footballers. Don't be surprised if 80% of them were never academy players but paid to be included.

In a popular FIFA tourney in the late 90s, I found out that most "supporters" were not. The plane returned to We Hail Thee almost empty.

Those who came as "supporters" later gave us the load-down. One of them I know is a granddad here abroad now. His child born here after he came as a "supporter" don born too.

Nor be today.

femi4:
Hunger will fish them out

Many of them may have relatives across Europe. Some may be in Germany, NL, Belgium and elsewhere by now.

SixSeven:
One thing I don't ever forget is that we are animals. Because of that, I know that the most important things I can pass on are not what people can take from them

They'll be fine without me. It's been a privilege teaching them

I have a question. If you give to charity, isn't it God's work that the ex-wife is helping the efulefu? Isn't that your manhood living on

Oh, I already give to those who need my charity. I get to decide who deserves my charity. While I am alive.

Fact is, the young man who died left young kids behind. Kids, he didn't live long enough to "teach" or give other "monetarily unquantifiable things." Kids who might not even physically remember him. Due to their young age.
I like your idealism, but sadly, the fate of some won't allow them to bequeath those lofty things you mentioned.

There is no scenario where it's going to be palatable to allow a woman to give my sweat to another man.

If material things are not important, then one washed-up guy should not need to have mine.

Amala, iyan and starch.

Iyan and starch very rarely.

Amala is best.

SixSeven:
Fair enough. I won't digress from the topic but I always wonder why men think about who will be with their wife when they die

Life is for the living

Same reason you think of what family/wife might do with your wealth/money when you are no longer there.

Because you can't stop their actions anymore, including if the wife chooses to cosy up with your worst enemy/traitor/killer.

It's also in recognising rightly that everyone will move on without you.

At least thinking about all scenarios allows you to take action to keep your wealth for your children.

Even though life is for living, you didn't live to build wealth for one efulefu from nowhere.

SixSeven:
Is it even enough? What about honoring contracts?

Men, you can't trust your family entirely because the attitude they display is because you are alive and there. People can change and you can never trust the human instinct not to succumb to greed. If you are alive, do whatever you can to give it to her in her name while you are alive, don't wait for death. The world is not smiling. Families are usually entitled to their sons and see the woman as a foreign entity that came to share space. They don't even look at her as someone who came to expand the family and left her father's home. They just treat her anyhow they like. Only a few with conscience do unto others what they wish done to them. Therefore, in this life, since you know human beings are unpredictable, do what is predictable and within your control. The dead have no fight in the game of the living. Love is not enough.

True. Equally, you cannot trust any wife entirely. A wife or blood relative can kill you over property.

A good middle way is to write a VALID will. Even if you are still young.

Ensure your kids get the majority. Get lawyers to execute and manage it for the kids until they are 18 or even 21.
Give your wife her own share since she will look after the kids.

A seemingly loving wife can give all your wealth to her lover (old or new) when you are no longer around.

The monkey says she can only trust a baby inside her womb.

Until we can do a credible census, these figures na scam.

jericco1:
Borrow money to buy big phone

I wonder. How did she plan to pay back?
Through a small girl with big gods?

We need to include financial management in the curriculum from kindergarten.

MatrixReloaded:
Private organs are the benefactor of this substance. They shouldn't ban it pls

Well, people will begin making it at home. Possibly laden with dangerous methanol.

If you see more people going blind in the next few years, don't be surprised why.

Everything will go underground, where NAFDAC can't even monitor it.

This is Shariah through the backdoor.

motymop:
the arguement is always about receiving sympathy

we did this and did that..no one cares...all the money didnt go to the natives, it went to the ANC elites

is our foreign policy on getting sympathy or trying to hit them where it hurts

i am tired of hearing we send out feeding money to them to fight apartheid...no one cares about that

9ja should develop itself.

Like a typical 9ja girlfriend, if you become broke, she does not care about all the good things you did for her last week.

If we were like Malaysia or Dubai and 1m Xenophobians visit 9ja yearly, and 500k of them reside and work in 9ja, they would respect us.

The world is a market place. People only care about what they can get off you here and now. Your past acts of kindness don't count.
