As much as I don't support the man, the ones saying all sort should take a walk in his shoes. It's easy to judge sitting in the Pew. Just pray you don't see the other side of a lady. They will turn even your loyal dog against you.



A friend who hated is father for been irresponsible found out at 28 the man was deliberately ostracised by their mother even though he paid their school fees throughout primary and secondary unknown to him. Dude hates is mum for denying him that fatherly love now. But it's 28yrs of absence already.


Dear men, if a lady starts with this body language, find another lady and start a another family. Women are good and evil.

The guy should not have done this because the children might be innocent.

In the UK, some of our women brainwash their kids against their biological father. Some of the women can be very wicked.

After using the man to raise the kids, they kick him out.

No need to curse. Because the natural karma will rear its head at the right time.

Very useful thread. Thanks.

Nice.

Is not all about security. It is the result of moral decadence we promote in the name of being civilized. Our society is a mirror of our homes. We rushing to be on a par with American and British society but our justice system is no where close to that of those countries. And parental discipline which instills values in the younger generation has been thrown to the dog. What you see now is not ending any time soon. There is a limit these security agents can be stretched.

Ok o. When I say so, some say I am old fashioned.

All the violence we see now reflect our societal state in general.

Many people are wicked, jealous, hateful, and plain evil.

And they are among us: friends, relatives, neighbours, some respected in religious and social circles.

I believe we need a police state that monitors everyone. All activities should be monitored. It may seem draconian but I believe people have too much freedom to kill, kidnap and do all sorts. When the society has been sanitised, we can renegotiate freedom.

Man go marry wife but na man go write will because him know say he would likely die first

The health seeking behaviour of the average man is poor compared to the average woman.

Man go get health issue instead of him to hospital for proper treatment, e go say make e go just rest.

How many men go for routine health checks

We know say nobody go leave this world life and something must kill a man but make e nor be say we go die because of our lackadaisical behaviour

It's the society. A man is expected to be strong. And put his family first. He may want to save money for children's school fees and not use it to go to hospital.

Men need to realise that they are at risk, naturally and from all the stress to earn and provide early on.
Boys start to provide for a girlfriend already early in life.

Look after yourself.

Rapmoney:
Sponsoring a woman you are not married to in school has never been an investment. Instead, it is an act of foolishness. It is better you use such money to buy small goats, fowls, rabbits, or cassava stems and start farming.

Below are some of the reasons why you should not sponsor the education of any girl if she is not your wife.

1. Sponsoring a girl is the responsibility of her father and family, and not yours. Ogbeni, stop carrying load wey nor be your own. Your back go break. If men are to sponsor girls that they intend marrying, then what is the essence of bride price?

2. Our higher institutions are filled with so much immorality today. What makes you think that the girl you are spending hundreds of thousands on, buying books, paying tuition fees, and paying hostel fee for is not sleeping with her departmental guys for free? Dey play.

3. There is no guarantee that she will marry when she graduates. She would probably have more options due to exposure. So you think she will marry you as a vulcanizer catering for her education when she has met various guys in school? Even young handsome guys studying Medicine or Law?

4. Education is a legacy. It is better to buy an iPhone for a girl who will leave you than to give education to a girl who will do same. Phones are man-made. They will get spoilt eventually, but you see education, it is for a lifetime. So why give a legacy to someone who will later dispose you like a used tissue?

If you cannot invest your money in a business or trade, use it to educate yourself or learn skills.

Use your brain make you nor go cry nwii for Nnewi.

I remain WarriParrot

Dem nor go hear.
Even one young Speaker of the House sent his woman to study Medicine in Ghana abi na Benin Republic.
Later, the marriage nor work. E be like say na corruption the guy take leave office las las. He dashed the hopes of many young Nigerians, who saw him as a new breed of politicians to take Nigeria forward.

Nor tell me say e no use some of his looted money to squander on the lady's medical training.

Labour is doing to themselves what the conservatives did to themselves.

Lack of unity always never ends well.

Human beings never learn.

Andy Burnham will also be chased out in due course.

Labour was in the doldrums for good 14 years. And they finally won massively under Sir Keir's leadership.

Yes, he might be a bit dour like a bank manager or headmaster from the 1970s, but Labour needed steady hands. He did it.

Why didn't Burnham leave his cosy Greater Manchester job to lead from the opposition trenches in all those Labour locust years? It's not like Burnham is even that charismatic at a world stage level.

hush15:
Nobody can challenge a will. If the man willed it, then the will be executed. Simple.

Wills and Testaments are successfully challenged everyday at the State High Court, where there are legal grounds/evidence/court marriage, etc.

And Customary and Sharia courts if marriage were done under these systems.

In the court of law, reasons abound why the judge may hold the view that the Will is void:

If the Will maker/testator was under duress.
Was too ill, like having dementia, to know what he was signing.

Will incorrectly written or not signed correctly.

Will not correctly witnessed. And several others.

Even the execution of a Will has a legal guideline. If the will is wrongly executed, it can put the Will itself in jeopardy.

Even legal experts sometimes get it wrong when they write their own wills.

Best is to ensure the will is not contested later. By following all the rules or settling beneficiaries before one dies. When contested, it can take years to sort and anything can happen.

People can obtain interlocutory injunctions fairly easily these days in our kind of judicial system.

So, some wills cannot be settled in court or executed for decades, with several potential beneficiaries dying already.

Jakumo:
Frankly, no place is safe in Nigeria, BUT the highways are by far the most dangerous places of all that are best avoided by anyone who values their life.

Each time one travels a highway in Nigeria, a dice is thrown, and a gamble is taken. The more times that dice is thrown, the higher the probability that the traveler will encounter an ugly fate. The FEWER times a person uses Nigerian highways, the LOWER the risk that they will run into an ambush and wind up tortured to death or beheaded by terrorist gangs.

OK. We all agree that roads are now hell.

So, is that what people voted for? Is it the mandate some are standing on? To make our roads the road to hell?
Do innocent citizens have to now do statistics/probability of death/kidnap before they leave home or travel?

Whose job is it to secure lives and property?

Nyne:
Just listen to the nonsense that You are spewing from Your mouth/hand/mind.

Na until una no fit commot for una house?

Asking People to not go out on a long journey. Is it making any sense to You?

And People like You are always the first to post comments. If I was a moderator, I would block You and Your kinds from my Website.

People are already prisoners in their homes.
Soon they will blame people for going to the market instead of using delivery service.
People should do online lesson at home.

Why go to church, mosque or anywhere instead of worshipping at home?

They will find a way to blame the victims.

So, if no more travelling, why build the coastal highway?

People who doublespeak should never be trusted.

MIKOLOWISKA:
So you want to be producing expensive?

So you want to be producing expensive?
was it globalisation that said you should not produce electricity for mass cheap production?

So cannot understand that since Pa Awo ceased to be Western Region Premier, we have never had sagacious leaders leading any national and subnational political entity in 9ja?
That failure to produce meant we could not industrialise because our so-called leaders put IMF above the masses.

We had almost enough electricity for the population back then. We needed to improve rural electrification back then.

There were industries at Ilupeju, Apapa, Ojo, and Ogun state axis. And PAN in Kaduna. And various processing plants across 9ja. They had no issues with electricity. We bought a tear-rubber PAN Peugeot saloon for about #4,500. We were proud as it was a "Nigerian" product. The refinery at Warri was a busy hub back then, producing fuel. There were rice fields and palm plantations everywhere. A relative set up a rice mill and oil palm mill. And employed dozens of people. We went days without much light interruption and Waterboard taps were running most of the time.

So, it's not like we not doing those things. We didn't have foresighted leaders to continue, improve local production and KNOW how to benefit from globalisation.

So, be constructive in your criticism and trace the history of the failure. So that younger politicians can go back to the drawing board and see how we got it right in the past. And massively improve on it.

ashawopikin:
All these bandits, na jungle justice fit them, no need for arrest

Or at least use gunshots design their thighs, so they can't return to the forest again to kidnap.

The kidnappers will be freed. Nothing will happen.

Ok o. See everything as e dey.

AdamuKD:
You see what I am talking about

You a perfect example of a real Nigerian and the way we reason

Did globalization kill other countries textile industries?

We always find a way to defend our leaderships because he is from our region or based on religion affiliation

So we don't hold them accountable

He's partly right. Our leaders didn't know what globalisation meant. In 9ja, we find excuses to choose foreign brands as a mark of taste and status. Like those bragging of drinking 40 years old whiskey from Tennessee or Scotland.

Sagacious leaders in Asia quickly figured out that only those who can cheaply produce and export in huge quantities benefit from globalisation. Otherwise, you will remain dependent and in poverty.

Growing up, we had cotton trees everywhere. So, our soil is good to produce the key textile raw material. We have exported local clothes/textile, through the Europeans/Portuguese, buying from along the Bight of Benin and selling along the Coast, to Angola and beyond. The Portuguese documented this trade centuries ago.

smallsmall:
Every time l see this sort of situation, especially when Nigerians are involved, l get annoyed at the Host Country (like South Africa) but it quickly don on me that the bigger problem is the Leaders in a well blessed Country that are looting resources meant for the population and they are the ones that deserve our Anger.

Imagine the Deputy Head of the NNPCL telling Senate Committee that they used Two Hundred and Ninety Three Billion Naira (#293Billion) to REGISTER NNPCL as a limited Liability Company!

But Company registration is less that Twenty Thousand Naira, infact, it was done for free, less than two years ago!

It is this sort of monumental level of Corruption, that spreads poverty and drive Nigerians to relocate to ANYWHERE, including into Countries that hate Blacks (Arab North African Countries) or Xenophobic Republic like South Africa.

If we don't fix our Country and get rid of Looters, Bad Government, things will keep getting worse and we will keep getting treated like Garbage, by those who should be our Shoe-Shiners.
Let us make the Sacrifice, to make Nigeria work for all of us, by shunning Tribalism, Religious, stop supporting Criminal Politicians/Political party, stop Voting along Ethnic and Religious lines, ..... TOGETHER, face our Rulers SQUARELY, they are the real and bigger enemies.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

When we are done with ourselves and have become a big Power (just like China), let me see how all these Xenophobic Countries will not show us the respect we deserve.
Have we seen any Country try to abuse a Chinese Citizen, in recent times?

Good talk but one problem. 9ja is not a country. It's a collection of countless tribal nations.

Don't let passport or FG or NASS fool you. The last two group, from across 9ja elite, need the appearance of a country to keep accessing power and state treasury.

For 65 years, can you tell me one thing that truly units even just Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba? Never mind the other hundreds of nations.

When Pa Awo said 9ja was a mere geographical expression, he wasn't joking. He saw the birth of the Nigerian state and its tottering about before he said so.

Today, Fulani herding cows through airports, past Asokoro and anywhere say it's part of their culture and sacred. So, what does a trader at Onitsha or a cloth weaver in Osogbo have in common with that?

If you guess, stop at the guess.
Don't profer solutions to where tehre is no problem.

Oh, it is you. The APC guy that defends all nonsense for a living.

Goodbye.

Helinuse:
Not America, bro.
Not New Orleans.
Your Google AI informed you wrongly.

I guess you have never been to New Orleans.

So, to you, Google might be your information source.

I just told you how it plays out in my sub-culture. They danced with coffins of young people, like this late Alex Ekubo guy, in your town as of 40 or 50 years ago? And you witnessed it?

madridguy:
Iran doesn't need anyone permission to own or use their ballistic missile.

As for the nukes, I'm very sure Iran has it already just deceiving the world.

Iran is cold out but very hot inside. When you come for them only then you will know how hot they are.
For President Putin to say that Iran has some weapons that the world could only imagine.

Sentiments aside, if I become Nigeria president tomorrow, I will be sending our brilliant engineering students to Russia, United States, Israel and Iran to go and learn how to make weapons.

You can't be as big as 9ja, have no nukes and want to be respected.
Only that if we had, we won't know before Boko gets hold of it.

Rocket man governing a country that can barely feed itself is respected today because he has nukes.

If Ghaddafi had nukes, he might still be alive today.

Helinuse:
But what is really the motivation behind people dancing with caskets in burials?
This practice is only observed in Africa.

I don't know why we think that way.
What sponsors such thoughts that make us think it is cool to dance with a casket?

Back in the day, it was done when people died in old age. Young people were quietly buried because it is deemed they hadn't quite fulfilled their destiny. And had not lived long enough to bury his seniors as culture would have expected.

In my culture, they danced with the empty casket, not with the body inside. In fact in my sub-culture, till now, they dance with only the cover of the casket, which is decorated with the finest expensive hand-woven cloth. Quite interesting with cultural and spiritual aspects to it.

But these days, in many parts of Southern 9ja, they dance with the casket containing the corpse and it is touted as part of Christian burial. Ghana does same.
It looks to me that it came from America, in it's current form done in 9ja. New Orleans has a culture of a solemn procession, followed by an energetic jazzy dance with the casket containing the corpse.

I stand to be corrected.

Reference:
Hmmm... story.
If we were downhill since independence, that crazy move was the hangman's trap door dropping.

It was the stupidest thing this country had ever done since independence.

45 years later we are running all over the world like headless chickens looking for foreign investors without any iota of success.

And to rub salt into injury, look at the country we mortgaged our own economy for, chasing us out...

The British, Americans and the Dutch will be laughing their heads off.

True. Leaders of all the countries that labelled Mandela a terrorist lined up to praise him at his funeral. Nigeria had no prominent place at the funeral.

Those countries that kept doing business with and supported Apartheid SA, their citizens travel visa free to SA today. 9ja are being chased out.

Nobody respects you if you can't look after and protect your citizens at home.

brain54:
Nigerian subscribers would only end up paying that 20% tax...


But I agree that compensation should be pushed for returnees by affected countries.


Countries like Ghana through their president mahama has already said he would push for compensation from S/A government for it's citizens affected in the next AU meeting.


I really like the way the Ghanian government handled the whole thing. South Africa were careful with them and really respected them even though they still carried out their intentions... but it was with care and respect.


Nigerians on the other hand they treat without respect because they know we have a useless government that is always talking of diplomacy even when its citizens are being killed.


To them it's always about not further straining the useless relationship between both countries!

The telecommunication regulatory body can be mandated to stop any price hike by SA companies. All the loopholes for SA companies to escape FG tax hike unhurt can be blocked by a determined FB/legislature.

FG can interfere with private businesses in the national interest.

Fact is this: a lot of our stolen money is in SA. Many politicians who have the power to do something know how vulnerable they are. So, they won't dare SA.

Very wishy-washy response. Na diplomatic talk sha.

FG should impose additional 20% tax on SA firms to compensate Nigerians returning home after losing everything in SA. And to give succur to the bereaved families of xenophobic murders.

NASS should pass a bill: Compensation of Victims and Families of Victims of Anti-immigrant (Victims of Xenophobia) Injustices, Persecutions, Injuries, Deaths and Others in Foreign Countries Act 2026.

If that happens, powerbrokers in SA with massive shares in MTN, DSTV, Multi-Choice and others will push SA govt to control xenophobia.

You won't hear that a 9ja AI and Automation company wants to raise $1b at NSE and has caused global excitement.

Na consumption and short-cut we dey.

Those who invented AI know the risks and are cautious.

Na so we go take abuse AI.

I had an Afrikaner friend once, lovely huge guy that was a former Rugby player and liked me enough to be able to say his true feelings without mincing words as he knew me well as one that won't judge him.

I have lost touch with him now, let's just say he wasn't wrong about his postulations on his black countrymen and their warped sense of reasoning when it comes to expectations.

You will be surprised that a lot of black South Africans support this assertion of receiving a million rand a year from the government, and not just the unemployed and unemployable ones that are going around shutting foreign owned businesses that employ their people.

Oh wow! I had several such with a number of Boers in the 2000s. They were all unanimously savage on Black South Africans and how they will soon run SA down. An SA lady was doubting my experience on this platform only a few months ago.

At the time, Pan-Africanism made me defend SA Blacks as victims of Apartheid that need time to be educated. That affirmative action was necessary to bridge the gap between previously privileged Boers and disadvantaged Blacks.

I had only previously met very accomplished South African blacks. One of them very renowned. So, the Boers' picture of SA blacks just did not resonate with me. I thought they were just bitter over end of Apartheid.

Well, what those Boers said seem to be majorly true for the average SA black (majority), from what we are now seeing.

Whether in person, Via mail, call, text or zoom, did you get the message? Then it was appropriate

Maybe they should have sent Uber driver or limousine to deliver the "executive sack letter" to Oshopiopio. With a barefooted yellow pawpaw lady.

"The Washington-based institution, however, cautioned that the timing of any new taxes must take into account Nigeria’s rising poverty levels and worsening food insecurity" .

Look at the mad IMF. They are the ones saying kill them and at the same time saying watch it before you kill them

IMF only aims to deepen poverty in developing countries.

They should just stop the double-speak.

LibertyRep:
Now I see where your problem stems from.

Is the discussion about the people presently in North Africa or the land itself?

When I said Geography lumped them to Africa, was I talking about how the people got there?

Are the people presently there not culturally closer to the Arabs than the sub Saharan Africa?

Again , is it wrong to say elements of physical geography like the Sahara desert and the sea forced them to be classified as Africa as it is presently?

You have a very poor comprehension skill that makes you find fault where there's none.

I won't dignify you with a response further.

I will write just in case those like you are reading who believe the world began yesterday. Or worship Arabs.

If they can't live with people they migrated to meet on African continent, they should deport themselves back to Arabia.

I don't care what their current culture is or what it's not.

The Sahara is not a divisive geographical feature. It is part of Africa. From when much of it was a sea to when it was a lush tropical forest (as documented by archaeologists). It was and is still Africa. Having visited much of North Africa, nothing you will tell me about the area.
