RushManni:Thanks brother t uphis kind of news doesn't happen in the sharia north because women don't live with guys they are not married to. |

davillian:The cutlass was probably blunt |
How is that possible? How can the general lose guard so easily like that? It might be fake news sha |
Reno Reno please stay in your lane Religion is not your area of specialization |
Eriokanmi:He did force himself on the people in the literal sense, he led the Tutsi army to overthrow the government and create his own government Who in their right mind would vote against him? Vote against a man with guns behind him? Vote and die |
![]() SmartPolician:Rwanda is not a democracy it is a minority dictatorship there are lots of legal loopholes that prevent the majority Hutu from every becoming President. Rwandan citizens who leave Rwanda have to take an oath not to ever say anything bad about Kagame. |
In Igboland a non indigene is someone who is not from that community e.g An Igbo man from Nnewi is not considered an indigene of Onitsha. We need to clarify because some group of people will make it seem like this policy will not affect Igbos more than other tribes. |
gidgiddy:This should be directed more at Peter Obi and his band of Obidents than Joe Ibokwe |
NinjaMetahuman:My point is in order to understand GS 104 you must first understand Yoruba- unlike English, French or others, Yoruba language has always been taught in such a way that even if you spent your whole life in Lagos (even if you truly want to learn Yoruba language) if you do not already have an established Yoruba background you can never understand it, it's a subject inside a subject. If you just make the subject compulsory It's as if you are setting some students up for failure. |
NinjaMetahuman:Since Yoruba is the official language is it not more sensible to begin by teaching them basic Yoruba grammar before more complex texts, the same way french is taught? Is that not far more profitable in the long run? |
NinjaMetahuman:I think the main issue is that they don't truly teach Yoruba language it's more like Yoruba literature or Yoruba grammar, you need to be able understand Yoruba to attend. |
Akwamkpuruamu:Unizik (Nnamdi Azikiwe University) GS 109 |
The way I see it Nigerians fetishize death, if Mohbad didn't die nobody would care, some of them may have even condemned him in support of Naira Marley. A dead man is always a saint in Nigeria. |
jmoore:Bros too much insult abeg |
Corrinthians: Acekidc4: TemplarLandry:You guys couldn't even take 2 mins to read the write up before jumping to conclusions? Is it the result of laziness, short attention span or impulsivity? Anyways your posts confirms my entire point. |
As someone that grew up in Lagos I would be speaking from my own personal experience. In my school Yoruba was compulsory for everybody in primary level, I started doing Yoruba at Nursery 2 third term, (it's funny how politicians make it sound like Yoruba was just recently made compulsory yet it has been so for decades), I heard about Yoruba from my seniors and I was anticipating Yoruba class with excitement and nervousness but when the class began something didn't make sense... The class teacher speaks Yoruba from beginning to the end of the class - zero translation, as a non Yoruba person I didn't understand a word she was saying but surprisingly I didn't get F9 I actually passed the subject, I didn't pay too much attention to that, I had a feeling it was temporary so i just prayed the teacher would be replaced with someone who could teach the language better... Fast forward to Primary 4 new Yoruba teachers have come and gone and they all taught Yoruba the same way, zero translation zero care about whether non Yorubas understand or not - the annoying part is that Yoruba was always the liveliest class and filled with so much fun, oddly I always passed despite not understanding anything but in primary 4 I finally realized that the teachers were intentionally passing me (perhaps it was their own way of understanding) you see I used to think I had some special intelligence, now I realized they were just being tolerant, somehow this realization made me dislike the teacher and the subject in a very powerful way. In JSS 1 it became optional and I dropped the subject, I was just as clueless as the day I ended as the day I started. Now the lesson I learnt is that when Government makes a language compulsory most times they have good intentions they genuinely want to preserve their culture but life isn't that simple, complex problems can't be solved with simple policies, you have to make a sustained effort to achieve your goal thinking you can solve your problems with the stroke of a pen or through some bold violent action is highly simplistic and history will show us time and time again that it doesn't work. There are lots of teachers that specialize in teaching both Indegenous and non Indegenous students local languages but schools will never hire them because it's too expensive (not their fault though). Then there's the social attitude, Yorubas might complain about Igbos not speaking Yoruba but on an individual level the vast majority of Yorubas either do not care or they actually hate it seeing a non Yoruba speaking their language. And this attitude is not just limited to Yorubas, my time in the South East have convinced me that Igbos have the exact same simple mentality even to a greater extent (?) In conclusion, we need to be more scientific and practical in this country we need to drop this nzogbu! nzogbu!! mindset, if you want people to learn your language make real genuine personal effort to teach them and I am sure they would greatly appreciate it, instead of speaking your language 24/7 to them - then acting surprised or angry when they don't understand you. All this does is promote a sense of isolation, a sense of 'us' and 'them' and nothing good ever comes out of this. Let us work together to build a strong united society free from all this drama and irrationality. Thank you. |
That man was dismissed for involving in drug activities. It only teaches us about hypocrisy. |
jahsharon:Not knowing the difference between a dream and reality is mental instability |
AdaojoTheUrchin:Successful and wealthy people are not immune to mental instability, quite the reverse - now they are successful they no longer feel the need to tone down their dark side since there's no one to stop them. And this causes a downward spiral. |
I think he needs serious prayers, deep down he is not a bad person but all the sudden fame, hype and deification has really impaired his thinking faculty and brought out the dark nature in him. People have glorified him so much that he starts to believe it, he now genuinely believes he won the election and can no longer accept the contrary, this is actually a sign of negative narcissism but of course he doesn't see it that way. Again, he needs prayers many of us are not better than him, if we were constantly being praised and worshipped on social media there's no telling what we could do. Let us all work together to build a better country. |
"when she visited his office to sort out issues pertaining to her results." The girl is not so innocent |
ThiefnubuBandit:Yet the government did not ban facebook or instagram I'm sure they didn't ban pornhub or xvideos, it was Tiktok they went for and they claim to fight immorality. |
It is twitter that needs ban, Tiktok and Telegram are harmless, sometimes even positive. But you see that twitter... |
Jane74:You fail to understand human nature, and truth is power changes people, in a democracy there some levels of checks and balances that prevents a leader from abusing power, in a dictatorship there are zero. I think most corrupt democracies are usually preceded by a dictatorship |
BoldBrainz:US has a history of arming and sponsoring terrorists, separatists and rebels against their perceived enemies but that should not be confused with bribery, bribery implies the US is weak... The US arms and sponsors but they don't bribe. |
nairalanda1:True, you will hardly find a tyrant who admits taking power for his own selfish interest they always find a way to make it seem like it was for the common good, only when they have successfully consolidated power will their true nature be revealed. |
The main point the coup plotters in Niger keep hammering, is how they are fighting in the interest of the people, Now if they are working in the interest of the people, why couldn't they just form a party and run for election? The people would obviously choose the best decision for them Some might say the election might be rigged but the coup wasn't conducted by fringe political elements, many of them were top soldiers and very influential people hence they could have easily prevented any form of rigging or malpractice. So is it truly in the interest of the people are coups that overthrow democracies ever in the interest of the people? |
Xxxxtentacion2:And how will the future generation get the education to use it? |
