They know theirselves, two fish brain doing ther normal things.
They don't want their brothers and love ones to be manipulated but they want to manipulate another man, i only pity men who take that useless gender serious.

Hypocrisy

hmmmmm

But Esu is not the devil na. Na laziness dey worry us in 9ja. Just because Esu can be cunning, tricky and can meddle doesn't make him the devil. Every deity has its attributes that makes it powerful. Those are Esu attributes.

Any Southern and Middle Belt adult who does not know the history of Ifa corpus or the equivalent in their own tribe, has missed out massively in education.
His education, even if up to PhD, is only kolo mental education.

Because virtually all Southern/Middle Belt tribes have their version of it.

For those who want to claim holier than the pope, do you have a friend, girlfriend, sister, niece or relative called Diana? Diana is Graeco-Roman goddess of hunting. I guess you won't see an African girl named after an African orisa of hunting. Ignorance.

You go to a hospital or pharmacy with a snake wrapped around a pole or cross as sign of healthcare? That is the symbol of Asclepius, the Greek goddess of medicine. If Dr Chuks/Osas/Bola/Ini/Aminu put sign of Osun, orisa of medicine, outside his hospital, dudu man will complain. Ignorance once again.

Injera:
A section of the country is hurting, so deeply hurting, they feel marginalized and unwanted.
They also feel powerless and feel victimized, thus by default are defensive and distrusting. They need healing.
Healing won't come with hate for others, healing won't come with having superior complexes, but will only come with humility, respect and forgiveness towards others.
All tribes should respect one another and be humble.
Hating obi by extension means hating on Igbo's and likewise hating on Tinubu is hating on the Yorubas.

Ok. Good that at least there are still some few sensible people on Nairaland. Because most responsible people we knew here those days have left.

Na so one unlucky guy will carry her marry and bad luck go dey follow am.

Ladies, beware of guys without verifiable source of income. Not all that glitters is cold.

What am I saying? She just verified his source of income and car gift.

Boys looking for easy money. Nothing the devil gives you is for free. You must pay dearly for it one day.

Thank God she found out early. Wee wee on the whole poo.

Racoon:
Oga Seunmsg I saw you peep @ the thread and then disappeared without making a mention. Guess you were listing the numbers of witnesses the LP were able to present during the trial as under sufficient?

Don't you think INEC defending this gross criminality of a 2023 presidential election ought to have had a full retinue of many witnesses against the gamut of allegation bedevilling it from the Peter Obi camp?

They don't need witness. All na formality. Supreme court go eventually do magic. The usual technicality.
I wish Tinubu contested and won cleanly 8 years ago with a clear mandate. Maybe it would be Obi taking over from him last May. But you sabi North. Dem nor dey play with power.

This time the task is herculean. He will try but 9ja is just too divided and mandate too slim.

Gender Biased Post, Husband doesn’t deserved to be treated well ahbi

OP just buttressed the transactional nature of marriage these days. Only when a woman is totally happy as in you have been 150% simp, she secretly built a house without you knowing, brought kids from her lovers outside to pass off as your kids, brings her relatives into family house while yours cannot visit, etc. Only when she dominates her hubby belleful like this can you expect her love and care in old age or illness. But God so kind, we nor know who go sick or die first. God nor be man.

Men do all kinds of dangerous and hazardous work and face risk of dying earlier: soldier at war front, police response, diver, hunter, high rise building cleaner, stuntmen, firemen, mine sweeper, etc. All to put food on the table. Later when in need, wife will only care for him depending on his perceived kindness to her from decades ago. Ok o,

Men should wise up. No matter your sacrifice, when you die early, only your wife will enjoy the kids you laboured to fund.

Men take care of your health, do regular health check, prostate check, BP, blood sugar, try to sleep well, beware of too much extra shifts at work just to provide more for your family. When you die early or become ill, na you lost.

enemyofprogress:
Op how old is the president and former president Buhari? Civil servants should retire at 90. What is good for goose is good for the gardener

Tareq1105:
How does it affect the output of Lecturers, Medical Consultants, Judges that retires at 70 yrs?

There should always be exemptions. Critical skills category needs to be retained much longer. 65 is ok for the rest, possibly with option of voluntary retirement from 60 if they have served for at least 35 years already.

pafestula:
35 years is even too much for a civil servants, 25 years is okay, and the age should be reduced to 50 years. This would create job opportunities for others.

Lol, when some people got the job at the age of 29? So after 21 years civil service work, govt should be paying pension for another 30 to 45 years, depending on God's mercy on each person's life?

65 should me minimum but with option of voluntary retirement on health or other grounds, such as after 35 years of service, as from 60.

KendoRide:
Western culture ruined everything and African women took it against themselves.

Look at single women littered everywhere getting old, yet they’re saying no to polygamy. Saying no to polygamy yet going behind to knack married men. Married men have side chicks as we call it and 80% of them the wifes know and some even know the side chick, is all these unofficial polygamy?

Men would never want to cheat if marrying more than one wife isn’t criminalized, and all the fun and would’ve been met as the man and women will never crave for 3some because they normally have it..

African culture of marrying more than one wife solved this problem even before it arrived, see hookup everywhere, girls wey don suppose marry and start raising next gene of nurses, teaches, kings and engineers.

Hypocrisy is one of the top three problems we have in 9ja alongside corruption and tribalism.

Happy sunday nairalanders.
I moved to a new area(Student area) and decided to attend a nearby church.

These are what I noticed.

-- I was the only one that used scarf.Even the choristers and the female ministers didn't use scarf.

--Almost all the female members are putting on trousers,ladies that put on gowns/skirt are not up to 20%.
I was even surprised that the two female ministers and the female choristers also put on trouser to climb the church alter.

--During prayer intersection,I noticed everybody were praying in tongues and it seems am the only person not filled with the holy spirit to speak in tongues.
Even when we were asked to pray on our offering,people still prayed in tongues.

And it just seems I'm odd among them or is it that am not modernized?

Young woman where you dey since? You just dey see such now? Who tell you say church na about holiness and all that these days?
Dey there. Unless you wan go join nuns in a convent,

chigoziri2403:
It's your first time in the church
Its okay to feel ostracised
With time, you will feel among
Probably buy a few trousers and brush up your queen's English
As for speaking in tongues...... Maybe you learn a foreign language or an indigenous language like efik or birom

This one off me.

b3llo:
Jagaban! Your policies look good on paper but the common man suffers the hardship more.

Whenever World Bank, IMF and foreign investors (oil is what they mostly invest in and can take out huge profits quickly) applaud FG policy, Nigerian citizens should always prepare for hardship similar to IBB's SAP era. Their gain is always our pain and penury,

NoahHadNoArk:
You can’t collect a a chieftaincy title, but if you invited to England to accept a Knighthood from the king you will go.

We’ve been programmed to despise and reject our own traditions while we adore, worship and embrace another man’s culture as being superior.

Who did this to us?!?

The brainwash nor be here. Very sad. And many of their MoGs are top in different secret societies.
But average darkie dey form more Christian than the pope. Oyinbo really mentally imprison most dudu people seriously. Pathetic,

When black man will free himself like Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and others, I don't know.

RedboneSmith:
Question: Does 'oko' or 'oke' mean 'male' in any Edoid language?

In Benin proper, you can still use Oko mwen! exclamtion to mean my guy! Even just a few decades back. Or when you want to express being puzzled to a guy, but can be colloquially used generally too.

A few decades back, grandparents would still refer to God as Oghenosa, Osa, Okodudu, Osanobua, etc.

Today, poorly informed people would argue that only Osa and Osanobua are Benin words. Some would even claim that Oghene is exclusively Urhobo or Isoko.
People need to start realising how very limited their knowledge is. That is how to truly begin learning.

The guy wants to kpai himself before his time.

To manage one woman sef these days nor easy,
Good luck to him.

Chai! Renewed shege don reach this level

People go come dey chop excess cholesterol. No be cardiac failure be that

My brother, the way high cholesterol, heart attack and diabetes go finish people nor go be here.
Tomato in stew is one of the most consistent veg eaten by lots of people in 9ja. Remove it and see health wahala.
Tatashe, onions and mushrooms are far better alternatives. I doubt if they are cheap though.

Igboid:
Liars.
Okoro is Igbo imprint on Bini.
Other Edoid languages don't use Okoro, that's how you know a borrowed word.
But Okoro in it's dialect forms are found in all Igbo/Igboid speaking groups and the meaning is so entrenched in Igbo World view that it doesn't have to be guessed.

My problem with you minorities is that you are always quick to drum on whatever little imprints you have on your Igbo speaking neighbors but will never admit to any Igbo print your Igbo speaking neighbors left on you, instead you try to downplay it or claim it's shared.

So you mean that after thousands of years of interactions with Igbo speaking Ika, it was only Ika who got imprinted with Edo names while Bini had no Ika( Igbo) names imprinted on them?

See this one o. I don't give a hoot whether you have the word Okoro in Igbo or not. And I will never care. I have no interest whatsoever in Igbo.

Okoro is an ancient Benin word for prince. So shoo. I have no business with you or Igbo.

fero007:
Osakwe can be an Igbo name but I can bet my life that osakwe is also an Edo name, a Bini name sef, I seen many, know many of them, don't deceive anybody

Let me test you, do you know that Okoro is also an urhobo name?

Okoro is an ancient Benin name.

Okoro was originally a gentleman but over time became used for Prince. Oba's male children are called Okoro. Benin Crown Prince is called Okoro n'Okhua. He's only called Edaiken upon maturity when he moves to Edaiken Palace at Uselu.

I know at least 20 Benin families with surname Okoro.

Reminderz:
Share your experiences...

Here's mine: I'm always happy for him, even when he opened his own store and rented his own space, in fact, I was one of the first person to get there when he celebrated his winnings... I gave him the needed support and encouragement... I realised that anytime I got my own breakthroughs, he never celebrated me or does as if he noticed them...

I later found out he was even jealous of my own winnings despite how true I was to him... I cut off the relationship before I got stabbed in the back... I didn't really know where the envy or jealousy was coming from...

Envy and jealousy are like witchcraft. Nothing good you do for a jealous person will make him/her stop being envious.

Even your kindness/generosity towards them will make them jealous.
See, a typical jealous person likes to believe that they are the smartest, best and most successful. Another person's success or achievement, no matter how little, punches a big hole in their gigantic ego. Despite all their outwards pretence of superiority or success, they actually have inferiority complex.

The only thing that makes them happy is to see others down so that they can feel like top dog.

One example: a couple I was there for over many years achieved a milestone. I was there celebrating with them. In good and sad moments, I was there. When mine came, they both did their best not to come. Giving flimsy excuses.

A few years earlier, I had supported the hubby to achieve a milestone (related to both as a couple). He then begged me not to allow our friends know that I showed him the way. So that it would appear he did it all by himself. I obliged him that and other things that were weird.

But when he and his wife would not come to celebrate perhaps the most important milestone with me, I cut them loose. And not a second too soon. I rebuffed every attempt of theirs to reconnect.

It's better to have even just two friends than scores of leeches and jealous entities.

Goalnaldo:
Women are very jealous of each other. Forget the women supporting women bullshit. Ask yourself why is it women that are coming up to bring this hilda's cookathon record? Sometimes the jealousy is spiced with a little bit of witchcraft..I'll explain. A female work colleague once told me she can never date me but once i'm collecting another girl's number, she will be frowning, if i try to touch or hug a girl, she will block me, lol. you dont want me and you dont want me to have another, is that not witchcraft?

This one off me. [b][/b]

Damnnn niggar
Just let this people go

They don't wanna be part of this failed tribalistic entity

Why they are forcing SE to stay part of 9ja is beyond me. Why the can't organise a common referendum to allow them decide is what I don't get. It's not FG can cater for even 100m people, let alone 200m plus people,

Lagos is truly the melting pot of Nigeria

True. Edo people have been in Lagos from the beginning. Including Oba of Lagos family, Obanikoro, Eletu Odibo and many more.

DesChyko:
Did it suddenly become a scam because we remembered the people who fought against removing it in 2012.

The same people who fought GEJ in 2012 are now forming hero. Very funny people.
They knew GEJ doesn't control Newspapers, so they used bigotry and propaganda against.
The same people whose family owns oil importing company and subsidy scammers dey form hero after dem chop billions tire.
9ja never ready sha. Siddon look na dog name.
