And some people will be glorifying Kenya because they ruined their country with protests.

Softmirror:
This is a very narrow perspective though. All that you wrote is nothing but a 1 percent truth and 99% false.

Slavery was practiced by Christian West infact to the glory of Christianity. Hard work is never an alien virtue in Africa tradition either.

Lol 😆, is it not our churches that preach this same prosperity and not paradise. The mock the poor and praise the rich among their congregation?

Slavery was practiced by Christian West but it was also that Christian West that ended it.

I never said hardwork was an alien virtue, as a virtue - hardwork was glorified only by the slave or peasant class, to everyone else it was something to be ashamed of or a necessary debasement.

A man who won wars, captured slaves and offered human sacrifices to the gods on behalf of his community was held in a much higher esteem than the average hardworking farmer.

Only through colonization and the introduction of Christianity did things fall apart, then hardwork and patience became something to preach about.

Christianity has become influenced by African Traditional values and not the other way round. In the past a man who wishes to commit human sacrifice will seek a Traditional Priest but nowadays Evangelists and Imams are becoming the new Traditional Priests.

People should stop whitewashing African Tradition.

I hope Uzodinma is being paid well, that man is diligently working for the greatness of this country, even more remarkable that he is surrounded by terrorists.

WriterNig:
Yeah and George Bush, Obama. They're all internationally recognized criminals with blood of innocents on their hands.

No they are not

Israel performing madness in Asia

Russia performing madness in Europe

Netanyahu and Putin, two internationally recognized war criminals.

There are actually only a handful of them since Nigeria's health system remains dilapidated and even those who do this kind of work are not even paid minimum wage in Nigeria. Worse, with the economy as it is, there is barely any future for them as it is. So, again, why do you fault those of them who choose to run away to where they can work the same job and get better pay and treatment?

Better pay at what cost? Always being insulted and told to leave the country, sure they might not mind - but most times these people migrate with their children, their children will usually grow up without a sense of identity and in some cases a permanent sense of shame, they won't fit in anywhere, in any race, tribe or class.

The 'better pay' is not worth it.

Kobojunkie:
So, many Nigeria in Nigeria who equally work as Nurse Assistants— wiping the asses of sick Nigerians is part of their job— in Nigerian hospitals were also rich people who abandoned their families, etc?

They are not spending millions to get those jobs and they will not be deported if they quit

Actually Nairaland copied tribalism from Twitter.

I was one of the people that fully supported Buhari ban on Twitter.

But a certain group of people condemned Buhari for it. Now those same people are crying on Twitter.

Imagine a man will spend millions, abandon his family, his country, his culture, his dignity just to go abroad and be wiping asses of old white racist men and women - they deserve to be insulted.

But what is 200 Naira that you cannot give? these police officers are becoming target practice for bandits and ungun known men, the least we can do is pay our dues, especially when you know you are doing something illegal.

Don't be so stingy, scratch their back so they can scratch yours too.

RIP to the victim.

All this is further mathematics

Is my money adding or losing value?

Should I invest in Naira or Dollars?

That is all I wish to know.

Audio arrest, things like this usually have Oga at the top, once they are done snapping pictures, Oga at the top will release everybody.

"E don cast, E don cast E don cast"

but seriously 160,000 is too small, are they sure these are Yahoo boys?

Some people forget that Human sacrifice used to be considered normal in many parts of Nigeria, they also forget that some families sold their people into slavery for a mirror.

My point is this whole 'traditional values like hardwork' is a complete myth. Ironically those values were introduced by the west via Christianity.

Hardwork in the 'traditional setting' was considered a sign of slavery.

If you want to fight a monster you must first understand the monster

This is a tragedy, may God console the victims and their families.

I hope the driver died too.

Some people have audacity I'll give them that.

This is a country where the cartoon of Mohammad in Denmark inspired some people in some parts of the country to take knife and begin stabbing people, so yeah it's our business.

I think we should stay out of it but that's wishful thinking.

Tranquillity360:
Respect your Host

Monkey stop this your madness, ethnic violence is not something we should be joking about.

You think Northerners differentiate between Yorubas and Igbos? Check the 1953 Kano riot

Reported by Saharareporters whose owner is Sowore, who is also leading the protest hmmm.

Let us shun all kinds of ethnic violence.

why will you have $21,000 in your house? And how on earth would you let your house maid find out?

Do not tempt the Lord your God

She's lucky the housemaid didn't plan with armed robbers

God Bless Yoruba people, one of the few tribes that can condemn their own tribe leaders when they engage in damaging activities

Thank God there's a friendly atmosphere

Arochukwu had no king, it was a Confederacy

The present Arochukwu King was installed by the British

Onitsha already had an Obi long before the British

Even mentioning Oba of Benin

Kobojunkie:
Cleaner job in a dirty corruption ridiculed country that seeks to silence every attempt made by opposition every chance it gets. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This statement from you is ultra hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nonsense outcomes! How and when did VDM become the setter of standards on how to whistleblow for crying out loud... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Femi Falana fought hard against that corruption.

Kobojunkie:
Are you folks eternally dumb or what? As a result of releasing the video as he did, not only has he forced the hand of the EFCC, the Prison Comptroller's office, and even the House of Reps to investigate an issue that has been the norm for many decades in Nigeria, but he has successfully forced the focus of millions of Nigerians on the issue to ensure it is put out like many other attempts before his. So, what in the world are you fuming in the mouth for?

He could have done a cleaner better job, that's the point. Dragging Falz and Falana was unnecessary.

The way it stands now

Outcome 1: Future Nigerians might be reluctant to speak out against corruption in the future for fear of being shutdown.

Outcome 2: Future Nigerians might be too eager to speak against corruption to the point where they throw accusations without proper evidence, which would 'ironically' hurt lots of innocent and upright people in the country.

Outcome 3: Future Nigerians would learn how to speak out against corruption in a way that does long term good for the society.

Outcome 3, .is what people like you are trying so hard to fight.

nedekid:
Someone detained overnight in a Nigerian police cell should not be worried, even under threat that they will be sent to prison? Do you know anything about the police and judicial system in Nigeria?
Anyway, you are probably an abroadian.

And you knew about it because she posted it right?

You think if police have your time you would even go near touchlight phone

Machiavelli in his Discourse on Livy teaches us about the power of accusations

A truthful accusation can strengthen a society and improve the laws and systems for the better.

A false accusation (calumny) can do the complete opposite, it can destroy a society and enable corruption.

If Verydarkman had contacted his lawyers and gone straight to the House of Rep once he had Bobrisky's phone call, it would done much good for himself and the country, but he was too impulsive he moved too soon and accused important people with little to no evidence.

"You come at the king you best not miss"

I will like to see how it ends.
