I said in 2015 when APC/Buhari came on board that Nigerians should tighten their belt but they called us tanoids.
Meanwhile, some of these kids only heard about Buhari as military HoS from their parents and grandparents. Yet they refused to listen. Now Buhari don show dem shege. Luckily some of us knew what to expect and prepared well.

Now, 9ja need to finally scrap oil subsidy. Same subsidy removal they attacked us for supporting under GEJ. We need a unicameral parliament, we can't afford EFCC and ICPC together or any of those duplicated MDAs that produce no value for money.

But will a man who recommended hiring 50m youth into paramilitary to be feed on agbado and cassava have the balls to reduce govt waste, with burgeoning hangers-on who want to be compensated with political positions and job slots?

MetaPhysical:
Lalong is an idiot, and a fool, for revising a divisive and ethnically bigoted person as a promoter of unity, peace and justice.

The tribes of Plateau were addressed as "arne" by Ahmadu Bello. Does Lalong not know what arne is?

If he doesn't know let's remind him: Pagan.
Bello was an unapologetic bigot.
He hated Igbo vociferously (his video saying it is still on YouTube) and hated Awo for daring to campaign for election in the North.
Bello said they will not rest until Jihadists dip their holy book in the Atlantic. Today, herdsmen have occupied forests in the South, killing, maiming, raping and burning everywhere. They have burnt down my plantations and occupied others as I speak.
Let the fool be calling Bello unifier. A total idiot. Everybody go collect.

Religious teachings sound really good on paper, but are near impossible to wholly observe.. Even Abraham had to lie at some point that his wife Sarah was his sister.. Shey you wan come holy pass Abraham? ... So no too disturb yourself...

If any Supreme being wanted us stainlessly holy, he shouldn't have created us with this weak flesh in a World where some of the things the Holy Books referred to as "sins" are an inescapable part of everyday life..

He and his angels are busy chilling in their Celestial bodies in a perfect Heaven, while holding to their standards mere mortals who have to deal with the shit hole that the world is presently..

The same God that called a murderous and adulterous David "a man after my heart" is the same person threatening me with hell because I lied I am in Lokoja while I am in Abuja...and you expect me to take that seriously?

Yes, I am a Christian and I attend church quite regularly.. But I choose what portions of the preachings to take to heart and which part to leave right there on the Church floor.. If God wanted me to he holy, he should have left me to be chilling in Heaven, and not sent me down to earth, and of all of places, Nigeria.

Actually God first created mankind perfectly. We only lost perfection after disobedience. Remember in the beginning, Adam and Eve were perfectly sinless.
They were not to get sick, get frail, toil or suffer or die. Satan was created like Angels Michael, Gabriel and others that have remained faithful to God. Eve disobeyed God first and mumu Adam followed Suite. Of course, the oga pata pata of disobedience long before Adam was and is Satan.

After fasting for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, Satan tempted perfect Jesus (akin to Adam and Eve, at least here on earth) but he didn't fail. God did not force obedience on Jesus. He could easily have disobeyed if he wanted to. Close to his arrest and crucifixion, Jesus was afraid because he was in human body that could suffer pain, distress, suffering and death.

Fact is even with perfect creatures like Adam and Eve, God has always given everyone freewill to obey or disobey him. Obey and reap the blessings, disobey and get the punishment.
Even human governments do same. Obey the country's laws and be a good citizen, disobey and get the rap. It's your choice.

You may wonder, if indeed Adam and Eve were truly perfect, why did they still fail unlike Jesus? Well, same reason Satan failed. They wanted to be their own boss and do as they wished. Satan cunningly used it to deceive Eve. Promising her that if only she ate the fruit, she would become wise. Basically telling Eve that God was scamming her and keeping her ignorant.

As for letting you chill in heaven, Satan disobeyed God in heaven. Despite how tough and unforgiving 9ja situation is, there are still ordinary people like airport cleaners, teachers, cab drivers, farmers and others who now and then display uncommon honesty. Returning lost currencies worth millions of Naira to the rightful owners.

We should always reflect on what the scripture we read actually imply. They are much deeper. I know that not everyone has had the privilege to officially study it.

Crowning Kwarakwara king is a big joke what happened to them when osihmen didn't play the first leg of quarter finals did they win


Big joker I hope vo9 leaves Naples next season

God so kind Osimhen has admirers in EPL. Man City or Liverpool would be good. Even Newcastle or Man U.

olusledge:
Osimehn was there last season .. Napoli didn’t win the league.. everyone knows kvara is the best player in the league

No problem. He has helped them to end their Scudetto drought. Let Osimhen now try his luck in EPL. Kwarara abi Na Kafafa should try win it for Napoli next year.

Virtually all.

Only one of them gave me allergy and I stopped eating it.
There is one fruit people hardly mention. Inside is exactly like African star apple/agbalumo/otien/African cherry as called in various parts of 9ja.
But its skin is like velvet and brownish, not smooth like agbalumo.

That fruit ranks among the tastiest fruit anywhere. I have forgotten its English name.

It's called Ekpiro/Ekpido in parts of Edo.

MadamExcellency:
What are the duties of a Prince?

If a Prince shies away from making peace and reconciling warring parties, his title is worthless and redundant.

He died on active duty.

Correct. The prince's death is sad but royalty is not about just enjoying privileges. It is about also maintaining order in society. Beating a lady in full view of people is against public order. Beating anyone anywhere that you are clearly physically stronger than is no way to prove that you are a man. It is oppression and sheer violence.

The manslaughterer is very uncouth, otherwise he should have at least respected the prince's age no matter the provocation by his girlfriend who still wants to mingle.

200k for a comfortable lifestyle?
Oga there is no part of Nigeria that 200k can get you a comfortable lifestyle for a family of 4.
Maybe you need to check what comfort mean again. We don too suffer for this country, we no understand wetin comfort mean again.

Minimum wage is how much?

So 200k na big earner, I guess 75% of Lagos workers don't earn over 200k. If not for egunje and embezzlement.

twang414:
In as much as I wanted to quote each and every post I would have loved to respond to, I feel I should just summarize my point here real quick. Yes we have had issues which obviously led to me knowing she cheated on me, but u know women u cant catch them red handed unless you are lucky, That aside though cos I have gba kamun that whatever she wants to do she can do, I am busy trying to work my ass out to sort bills, but one thing you all need to understand that am surprised is not being pointed out is if equality is the main thing in this country, how can a man paying almost 80% of the bills is being treated un-equal? What happened 3 days ago wasnt me trying to track her or whatever, she had left the house since 9am, promised to be back by 3pm, and I had an appointment with someone for 4pm, and u cant leave kids at home here if u are caught, kids will be taken from you. So my major reason for the call was to inquire as to how close she was getting even though the time she was suppose to be home had elapsed. Na her hustle she find go, na my own hustle me sef dey find go knowing fully well i have even more to spend, am i suppose to be put under that kind of situation?

I really do have questions for some people saying am stalking my wife and she should be allowed to live her life. Is that truly what marriage is all about, if you guys that stated that are truly married, is it normal to u that if u call ur wife she dont take ur calls? Does it mean that she can be out there and come back anytime she wants without a legit explanation when we both have responsibility to take and tend to the needs and attention of the kids. I am really lost here.

Dude, you just compounded your problem. Bringing her to UK with such unresolved issues is not very wise. But only you know your exact reasons and circumstances.

Look, many women here will guilt-trip you because they want men to be their poodle. Don't be surprised. They want men to accept behaviours from them that they won't tolerate from the wife of their bother or son.
First, did you probably did DNA test on your kids before embassy accepted your application. If you didn't need DNA test, you should have done so on your own. Nothing like "oh the kids are my carbon copy".

Because about 35% of firstborn kids and 25% of ALL kids belong to another man outside. So you can see why so many women want men to tolerate their suspicious movements. Cheating is rampant. It's much easier for women to cheat. Men need to spin and most times spend money first. Women don't. Women are also super experts at covering their tracks.

Only phone hacking catches them red-handed most times. In the West, you even need wife's consent or court order to do DNA test because govt knows that if DNA test is allowed willy-nilly, super-kassala go burst. Hundreds of thousands of families will scatter.

If your kids are yours, at least one pass mark. Manage the rest for now. Involve a lawyer. Prepare yourself because she will still meet many "I can't be a slave to any man" ladies from failed marriages all over those churches. She might not manage the bad advise many will give her well. So that when push comes to shove, you are ready.

Also I guess you brough your whole family to better your kids' future. Be patient and let them be growing. But prepare for anything. No near-perfect woman anywhere. A seemingly near-perfect wife may be codedly cheating, who knows?

Continue to be a good dad and hubby.

Men enjoy and need sex more than women oga.
Again, the man enjoys free p.ussea to be kpanshing.

Don’t make it seem like men that gets married are stupid for marrying cos in other words you’re trying to say men don’t enjoy anything out of marriage.

Are you married?

At Bolded, Ukaface you wan come marry me? Oya come na, I dey my house.

Look, truth is biologically, women enjoy sex more. The biology is detailed and unless you are familiar with the science of it, you won't know how males and female compare. You may know your female side well enough.

Marriage is mostly about cultural stuff and biology, the need to have an heir, pass on genes, etc Although we now have sex for fun mostly, the drive is biologically related to procreation.

Remember that until about just 60 years ago when contraception became widespread, every sex act could in theory result in procreation. Males of all species must act in a manner that allows their genes to be passed on. The stronger and fitter you are, the more females you will get. Same among all mammals and other species.

Today fitness could mean having plenty of money, connections and power to provide for young ones.

Yet a young wife of an old rich Otunba/Mazi/Alhaji may due to biology be attracted to and sleep with their young fit driver or maiguard. Because the young driver will sexually satisfy her more with more energy and perhaps also more fertile.

An elderly man still instinctively (but not conscious of it) wants to procreate and may fancy the young fertile house girl to his menopausal wife.

Nature has a way of taking control even when we like to believe that we are fully in control, disciplined, cultured, etc. It takes lots of effort.

ukaface:
Both
The woman now has a supplier of her needs
The man now has free p.ussea to be kpanshing

Isn’t marriage lovely?

Kpanshing is also among the woman's needs to be met in marriage, so she gains the most.

Men don't enjoy or need sex more than women.

PerfectStranger:
Depends.

If the groom is a rich man,then it's the bride.
But if the bride is richer, it's the groom.

Only about 0.05% of rich brides would marry a poor guy.

So yes, the bride gains the most. Her biological clock is another good reason to catch a guy and be happier.

Terrible.

This world is about using format these days.
If somebody close wants a loan of 50k, just dash him like 15k and wish him good luck. Unless I already planned to give them that kind of money requested.

I cannot lend money and later be told that " haba, how much is 50k sef that you won't let me rest? Even US Govt is owing trillions". I nor fit o.

I once lent a relative I thought was reasonable and has integrity a decent amount of money. He gave a specific time to pay back. He never mentioned it and I never asked him again. 7 years gone.

He did some errands for me and I planned to appreciate him for it. I planned to give him more to just support his hustle, more than he borrowed. The errands were not even worth 10% of what he borrowed from me. But I reward people who do things when I need them to help out. Some always expect favours but cannot do something for you.

In his mind he probably believed he cheated me by borrowing and never mentioning it again. I intended to tell him to keep the money if he wanted to return it and give him extra. That way, he can set himself up. By not mentioning it again, he lost the extra I intended to give him.

The questions are almost similar too my HRM questions in my 300level...

I wonder, anyone who has ever had anything to do with management at university level, even as an optional course, should not find it unusual.

[quote author=Reflect7 post=122809160][/quote]Dude, while we claim to be very intelligent people, percentage-wise, 9ja probably has one of the highest unenlightened people who have WAEC/HND/degree.
Magic centres, bribery through school and corruption have ruined our education. Nothing upstairs.

A lot of our young women spend time broke-shaming up and coming men. Women who were brought up in face-me-I-slap you or their mother is still even using her petty trade to sustain their father and entire family.

In fact those from poor homes that poverty has shown shege that fear poverty the most. They lash out at anyone who doesn't appear to have money to be their "Poverty Alleviation Programme".

Some will tell you that Egyptians were not true blacks. Yet scholars, chief priest (like pope of those days), engineers, architects and physicians depicted in temples, statues and tombs were clearly black.

Good day Nairalanders
I will be 40 on Oct 19 this year and I am scared the kind of life I have always desired may not be
achievable. Let me list these things that worries me so that you can probably advise me or assist me in achieving any of them.
1) By 40 I had wished I will be living in my house with cars in my garage
Current situation- I am a salary earner who eagerly waits for the salary to drop before my family can eat conveniently every month.
2)I love cars and driving. Was thinking of getting a good car for Uber business.
Current situation- I have not been able to gather enough money to buy a car for Uber or personal use.
3)Seeking greener pasture abroad.
Current situation- I have not been able to have enough disposable income to even get a passport to start with in the first place.
4)Self development. I had interest in programming so I decided to learn coding and all that. I started with free code camp and also this thread by iyenimofe on nairaland has been so helpful https://www.nairaland.com/1383359/learn-web-design-live-nairaland/6#17571611
The issue I have progressing is that of enough data subscription to watch more tutorials.
5)Acquisition of at least Masters.
I have a passion for learning and self development but I struggled to have my HND with distinction. Gathering enough funds to start my masters program has been an uphill task.

Little about my background
I am an HND graduate
I have a sister who am responsible for also.
I have a wife and two kids.
I work 8-5weekdays

OP, you are still very much on track. Things don't always fall in place in every aspect. At least you are not spending millions on cycles of IVF or healthcare. Some people out there are. So gratefulness first of all.

Pray for good health, don't womanise, gamble or drink excessively. Plan your family well and ensure you and your Mrs agree on your vision. If material achievement is all that is left, you can keep working towards that. Nothing spoil.

You took it right out of my mouth. The guy dodge her mother also.

If the guy knows what is good for him, he should focus on his wife and not this idiot who broke his heart.

Onarabu:
The story no add up jare,how Old was she when she left Nigeria considering her current age, please you "foreigners" should stop painting we Nigerians bad.

It is not unusual to see people who are 62 to 65 who look like her. Some look even younger. Remove the make up and wig and see. I have people in America who left 9ja in late 70s and early 80s, completed their degrees, had a family but never came for 30 years. A few still have not come until now. Especially those whose parent had died in their absence. They are many in USA.
What you have not seen may seem strange to you. People are different. Some loose their connection to 9ja and enjoy their new environment. Some by choice, others by circumstances. We must accept that.

I never used to miss any year without visiting. Now that parents are gone, siblings grown and married or have japa, the urge is not what it once was.

udede:
Something is not connecting.
You were sending money. Okay.
You were receiving prograce report. Ok.
BUT YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR SIMPLE WATSSAP IMAGES AND VIDEOS.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN A WORLD OF TODAY.

just tell me something else please.

Trust. Obinna must have been a sweet little baby brother when she left over 40 years ago. May be even born after she left. She might be the Ada of the family.

She left when family still meant trust. Probably during Shagari regime. Her elderly parents always confirmed all was in order she said. Until you are that situation, you won't know. It is far more common than you think. In fact of those I know who left 9ja before until about 15 years ago, virtually everyone suffered various degrees and versions of this lady's story. Sadly, nothing special about her story. I know dozens in real life. Even within my extended family, some did worse than this.

This case is only pathetic for one reason in my view. Forget the phonair and wig, this an elderly woman, tired and exhausted after decades of labour in US. If she was a teacher or nurse, policewoman or immigration officer in 9ja, she would have already retired years ago. This big mansion would have been her tangible reward for decades of work.
But at least she has a waterlogged piece of land.

We nor see even 25 x 25 piece of pond and so were dozens too. At least knowing within first 10 years allows you to adjust while still young enough.

I currently have a video of a guy who went to Sweden 5 years ago. He was working in a mall in Sweden. His elder brother sent him nice pictures of the edifice he was building for him in 9ja. He returned suddenly and his elder brother was hiding. He finally traced him with one guy live. The Sweden guy tear his brother dirty slap. The video is trending now.

That what we faced over 20 years ago is still happening is worrying. Most people never share their story. Even when you share it some believe theirs will be different. Blood is thicker than water. People I warned still fell victim.

Edeyoung:
I never said anything about the density of eyptian blackness, egypt civilzation isnt just black africans
Alone its a mixture of greek, romians and african
That is what i mean about Egyptian not a pure black african civilization, because you can as well see atatue of white look pharaoh Egyptian

All what you wrote up there wasnt necessary

Stop downgrading benin or any african civilzation by on how far the western influence penetrated society


See as the both of you up there rushing to fight over who first accepted western Christianity between edo and itsekiri
Damn

Did the whole of Africa not eventually adopt Christianity and Islam? Benin used it to its advantage including securing vital modern weapon with it to beat the enemy. And then indigenise it and set the terms of how to worship in it, not from Rome or anywhere else.
Today Muslim kings across 9ja are religiously under the Sultan. Oba of Benin has own Church, not under Rome, not under Canterbury. So your trying to be woke as if you are so proud of African religion while others are not is childish. It shows a poor understanding of political and war strategy of the kings of Benin in the South Eastern part of West Africa/Bight of Benin from the second half of the 15th century.

Every argument you come up with just shows how little you understand it. Come off your high horse attempt and wokeness.
Obas were way smarter, they thought ahead before others even back then.

Edeyoung:
Youre just talking of how europe influenced themselves, if europe influenced themselves what pride would a black man get from that

If africans influenced themselves the pride would be for Africans only the black skin ....


You speak of egypt that is not purely a black man civilzation ,

Is either you're a teenager or you dont know how the world works and youre obviously mentally enslaved


Stop priding with a whiteman thing youre just downgrading yourself and your people

The benin comes from the fact they never saw the whitemen above them , they fought them traded with them as equal , never accepted their religion

But here you're trying to downgrade them, with your pride for who got more influence the most

I would assume youre a teenager, if youre not sorry

I actually consider that an honour to be seen as a teenager. But I wish our teenagers knew Graeco-Roman and Egyptian history, To understand your African history (especially as much was not written down) you need to understand how others operated contemporarily because a king as an Ogiso or whatever they actually called themselves in Benin in 313 AD faced many similar challenges as Constantine in Rome. You have clearly never done comparative history.

Your rather shallow understanding is that Africa had nothing in common with other races back then. Simply because you seem not to know.

You said Egypt was not purely black. What is pure black? Charcoal black like many Sudanese Nubians? Those fair skinned people from Igboland and Edo, fairer than many ancient Egyptians, are impure blacks?

The more you argue, the more you reveal a warped notion of being black that is very narrow and ultimately a disservice to Afrocentrism.

Black Pharaohs and their families are clearly represented in statues. If you haven't been there, go and visit and learn. Whatever the hue of their skin, they were Africans and black. Arabs from Saudi or some place now living in African lands will not tell me otherwise.

Edeyoung:
I dont know what you both are trying to pride on

But the pride of benin came from that western influence couldn't infiltrate our culture not until nigeria started demonzing our religion


Our forefathers stood against western influence, they didnt welcome their writing of text we got ours artworks for documentation, we used them for our wars, we traded as equal men , Christianity
Couldnt penetrate us until after independence


So if you guys are priding on mediocrity then i am sorry you both are just not well read

If europe had influenced benin you think even the white men would cherish our culture today

So why are you both priding on who the whitemen influenced with Christianity the most

That is what you don't get. Every great empire did not live in a vacuum but adapted. Religiously, technologically, socially, etc. The Greeks took good things like knowledge, art, medicine from Egypt, the Romans took from the Greeks and Rome spread education and culture to Western Europe as we now know it worldwide. So your talk of pride in Western influence is due to poor knowledge because the trinity story and creation story began in Egypt. That is where Moses (educated by the best scholars in Pharoah's palace) learnt everything he later wrote. Trinity story built on that by Christians later.
So don't use your shallow knowledge to judge other's underlying thoughts.

Constantine adopted Jewish religion. Jews were not white as they came to be mixing with Europeans after 70AD.
May be you are the one obsessed with white people.

Whatever outside influence came, use of musket guns to overpower enemies, or whatever, Benin knew how to retain own history and culture. Like any truly great nation.

One day, he will give the kpale he is collecting from the Iyagba to one 9ja woman currently laughing at him.

Men have to do the work first.

The worst is that I told the mum and elder siblings out of anger. They did absolutely nothing . The mum only denied knowing that the guy comes around when everyone is out

A month later, I saw a chat of the mum asking her why she doesn’t pick the guy’s call again . I almost ran mad

She has promised and vouched that she won’t try such again and doesn’t know what came over her her .

I keep loosing weight and falling sick by day .

I’m currently depressed and don’t know what to do again

Dude you are dating yourself. Even the mother has run you street. Pele.
The other guy probably holds more Mula or dey square her maale regular.

Meeting a girl as a virgin guarantees nothing. She can decide to belong to the street later.
