It then means we Nigerians don't wish well for ourselves, what is the value of making all these costly sacrifices for the sake of democracy when that is not what we want.
Anybody with the mind set of Oba and okorocha can never be a democrat.
That is not what democracy is all about.
I'm sure some of you have travelled and even citizen of another country, you must have equally voted there.
Instead of us to have this kind of democracy, I will rather welcome the military with open arms. It is a better option than a quasi democracy.
In fact they should be warming up to instill order in this chaotic country, these class of politicians are all thieves and self seeking set of people.

God bless your soul bro! You just spoke my mind.

Canme4u:
Am not wicked mam, I was just stating the obvious. Infact, am an advocate of peace.

You guys hate Yoruba with passion and this was shown before, during and after election.

How do you explain 100% ridging that they call an election in S.E.?

GEJ even has more than 25% in S.W., if we also played regional politics of hate/bitterness, do you think he would get up to that?

Do you even listen to yourself? Igbos hate Yorubas with passion....and you love them abi? With these tribalistic comments of yours The problem with we Nigerians is that we are huge hypocrites. We claim to be good practicing christians and muslims yet our hearts are full of hate. My brother remove the log in your eyes before looking for the speck in another's eyes....#peace

dickrider:
They must be high on madness. After voting in mass for the PDP who only deceived them with a second Niger bridge on paper. They should relocate to otuoke let GEJ fulfil his promise to them there. They are so hateful that they voted out their son Ngige for supporting APC.

They shall forever remain irrelevant in Nigerian politics. Bunch of tribalists

And what are you? A righteous man from Judah calling a whole tribe, "Tribalists". You should know that people have the right to vote whoever they deem fit to represent them, Igbos inclusive. Btw, Gen Buhari is not an APC President-elect rather he is the president-elect of Nigeria as a whole. The earlier you get some sense and stop being tribalistic, the better for you. And for you to use 'forever" in your derogatory remarks shows the amount of hatred built up in you. I'll pray for you.
#peace

OROSUNBOLB:
Even if you're Igbo,do you think I really care ? I'm not debating any Christmas celebration or trade 'settlement' with you. I think my point is clear enough for you to understand- Igbo are naive politically and this is not unconnected to the hatred they have for other tribes especially Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani. Agbero is particularly not something to be ashamed of,and I think it's far better than armed robbery which a particular tribe is widely known for. You people are simply confused. Even the so-called Igbo businesses and economic activities are located or concentrated on 'foreign soil'-Yorubaland and Hausa/Fulaniland- people they hate! Not until Igbo begin to listen to true Nigerians like Onu,Okorocha,Ngige etc,they will remain in political wilderness for a very long time with associated consequences. Oh! Pardon me,I have forgotten that you guys are Israelis !

That's the silliest and dumbest post I've ever read in my life. Relegating armed robbery to a particular tribe....lolz...which tribe is that if I may ask? Do you even read the news? Or has ethnic bigotry made you so blind that my kindergarten kid sister can reason better? You know what? I can't dignify this unintelligent post with an answer...it makes no sense...no offense intended. Btw, you know nothing about history of the hatred between the Igbos and the Hausas.

Sweetlemon:
What is wrong witth Igbos on NL? Seriously are you guys ok? As in seriously?
Fash may have deported some Igbos (who were most probably constituting a nuisance) but we all know that Lasg has the highest number of non-westerners in high places. Why cant you greedy lot be satisfied with that? Igbos are not the only people that were deported.
Why are you guys always fighting imaginary enemies? Seriously you need to work on your issues.

I'm proudly Akwa-Ibom before you tribalistic idiots quote me.

You spoke well but when you introduced the tag "tribalistic idiot", your intentions glared clearly. There is no particular tribe that is tribalistic in nature, rather Nigerians choose to be tribalistic. It's a national mentality. The earlier we learn, the more we'll grow as a nation.

Sophyrocks:
The only point i have a problem with in the Op is Number 5. Please please please, ladies should endeavor to stop confusing the preferences of others with that of theirs. Who told you Nice guys are boring, are not self confident and all the other bad qualifications you have given them? This is a way of saying what is bad is good and what is good is bad. You cannot associate a good word as "Nice" with something bad. There are many guys who are nice and confident and not boring as well. If you see a guy who is boring, dnt call him Nice. Just say he is boring. simple. if he doesnt have swag or good dress sense, just say so. dnt call him nice. if he has body/mouth odour, stick to that. If you are not physically attracted to him at all, say it. Even a cheat and an abusive guy can form Nice guy for you in the begining to trap you before he unleashes his inner "demons". Anybody can be Nice. Focus on the issues that dnt seem to attract you at all. Thats all. Its pure fallacy that Nice guys are geeks, boring, have no swag and bla bla bla. Too many guys out there have a mixture of qualities so you cannot paint every Nice guy with the same brush.

And by the way, ladies, you will be making a huge mistake sending the wrong signals/messages to guys out there with the ridiculous fallacious statement "Girls dnt like Nice guys". I pity you all who stand by that statement. If you dnt get a good husband, blame no one but yourself. I'm a lady but i gotta say the truth. Ladies, you have used your mouth to drive nice guys away but you keep talking about getting a God fearing man. You are not encouraging men to be Nice in the actual sense of the word and you are not encouraging them to be responsible with this fallacious statement. You will get what you think you deserve. Stop being confused beings. Its disgusting!! Stick to what doesnt appeal to you in a guy. Leave the word "Nice" out of it.

I would french-kiss you if I could....your words just said it all....and you are really beautiful that I wouldn't mind being in your "friendzone" like they say..#winks......#peace

ihedinobi2:
Thank you. You just played Abigail to my David. I was about to bring war to this thread.

So, Bond is the standard now ehn? Who was arguing that the women that want bad boys are wifeable again? Tell me exactly how Bond's marriage would look.

I'm still wondering at the allegations that men who don't sleep around don't do so because they are inconfident, hypocritical or broke. Lol, as if money is needed to straff. I go tell una my story? I have never had enough money to form big boy and I never really cared but my "girlfriend" back in secondary school was claimed to be the prettiest (unsolicited info I was given). In the polytechnic, I don't know where they ranked her because I never really cared to ask but she was hot and fine and had two dudes proposing to her when she practically moved in with me. Didn't cost me that much. I was just a gentleman that listened when they talked, picked up the tab (and I didn't bother with impressing with classy eateries and hangouts) and moved in for the kiss when I had made her good and ready for it (not that I knew what the hell I was doing then, I was just very attentive and very observant).

You think that being decent means being clueless or dull? I hope you all find Bonds to marry.

And I hope that you marry no nice guys whatever the case with Bond. Say Amen.

You nailed it bro....Enough said....People are different and so are our thoughts and personalities, but we all know the "Truth".Thing is...most of us are still in doubt....#peace

This was inspired by a post I read on nairaland two days ago "Can you be in love with someone and not sexually attracted to him or her(excluding Agape love)?"
This made me to reflect on the topic and conclude...Attraction (both physical and otherwise) can lead to love but it's not necessarily a guarantee or yardstick for love.
In the bible, King David was attracted to Bathsheba cos he saw her bathing naked and also for her beauty(2 Samuel 11), but that wasn't "love", it was pure "lust" but that didn't deter David from truly loving her afterwards and Bathsheba from loving him back even though he killed her husband, Uriah the Hittite, to have her. That was lust that later matured into love. Amnon desired his half sister Tamar (2 Samuel 13)and even claimed to love her, but when he had carnal knowledge of her, (albeit by force) he hated her. That was pure lust that he felt and nothing else. My point is that a lot of people, ladies especially(guys are mostly carefree) enter into relationships without knowing what they want from it. Some don't want to be lonely, others say he is too handsome or too hot, good looking, fearfully made and so many other physical qualities which I can't list here. Fast forward to few weeks or even few days as the relationship grows, some may or may not fall in love with each other.
One thing is evident, when you are truly attracted to someone....There is always some sort of sensual tension after the first few days, weeks or even months. Why? Cos there are always questions asked by both parties on how to approach each other intimately. Whether it will lead to love or not depends on their mindset . The thing is, there is always that sexual attraction when we are with someone of the opposite sex who is not related to us but is close to us, even when we are in love with them, Yes!!! it happens because we are human and it's in us naturally, to have these feelings, to feel those urges, even the Holy Father, the Pope is no exception, it's in everyone, monks and Buddhists alike. But one thing is paramount that it differentiates us from the dogs on the street......"Self Control".
When we are in love, I mean truly in love and not infatuation or lust, we ought to have passed the physical attraction period we ought to see beyond the handsome/beautiful face, the hot/stone physique but on personality and goodwill of heart.
Hence we learn to control our sexual urge when dealing with people we truly love. We stop making it all about few minutes of passion and learn to concentrate on ourselves and what we want from each other. We should focus on making it permanent through marriage and commitment because we really love each other and therefore respects our bodies which is meant to be loved and treasured and not just for the fun. When these are done, a lot of relationships wouldn't fall apart and a lot of marriages would have been saved. Most couples in relationships need to ask themselves the following questions:
1) Without the sex and romance, what else do I enjoy in him/her that keeps the relationship as interesting as ever?
2)Apart from being handsome and tall or beautiful and hot what other internal attributes does he have that is worthy of emulation?
3)Apart from whispering sweet words into my ears, telling me how he/she will drown me in eternal bodily pleasures, does he/she impact my life positively and towards achieving my goals and being a better person/somebody in life?
4)Does he/she have respect for God and his/her elderly ones(parents and guardians mostly).
5)What of my spiritual life?(be you Christian or Muslim) has he ever respected my relationship with God or even consider it to an extent as no one knows when his/her time will come?
When the person you love lacks most of the above qualities, then you need to redefine your definition of love maka akwa(to avoid tears). Stop wallowing in the euphoria of attraction, it will lead you to nowhere.
A friend of mine once said, "I love him cos he knows how to make me scream in bed"...that was all she could see in her supposed loving boyfriend..."Sex" and nothing else. Then tell me why they won't break up tomorrow because in all reality, a lot of other guys can also make her scream in bed including intimacy gadgets. What if you end up marrying him cos of his bedmatics and eventually wake up after marriage to discover that you needed more than that?
"An unexamined life is not worth living".....the philosopher, Socrates will say..so what is it gonna be for you, allow your sexual attraction to control your relationship in the name of love or the other way round?

kingthreat:
Most 14-year old maids are sexually mature. Most girls on the street that do runz are not more than 16. Some people's weakness is lustfulness. The best solution was to avoid such in the first place. Why did she have to get a maid? Didn't she find an old woman somewhere to do the job or cant she do it herself? I like being realistic. 30-50% of men will fall into the same temptation the man fell into. Not everybody has that strong discipline when it comes to sex.

So your advice is that whenever you see a sexually mature female, all you can do as a married man is think about having sex with them? What I meant is that the man lacks self control. Believe it or not, it's a BIG problem and not a weakness...he needs help...enough said. Temptation is no excuse since you are not a dog or are you implying the maid walks around the house naked? The man is a dog that needs his rabid injection jur..

djon78:
God fearing man is not about going to church but rather revers the Lord, at the back of his mind is God conscious always and even when he makes mistake, he quickly repents. A God fearing man has a soft heart that has been broken not hard heart, and it is Gods word that break the heart. He easily forgives, does not bear grudges, is not rude and very accomodating.

I can't even see any difference in what he jus mentioned and what you listed above oga! Thanks anyway.

drnoel:
i have corrected ur post. Ur definition of god fearing person is based on ur interpretation and how u understand. This ur definition has nothing to do with a God fearing man but a church going man. The two things are different and seperate cos a church going man may not really be God fearing.

So what's your own definition of God fearing people sir? Or maybe you can't comprehend the written English...I can understand... Make comparisons between the both...that's how an intelligent post that claims to correct others should be written.

kingthreat:
Bloody hypocrite. As old as you are, you haven't matured to understand that sexual tempation is one of the gest. People like you will probably wankk at the though of sexual lust dan do the main thing. I do not support adultery but dont tempt a man. Anybody can fall to sexual sins. Pastors included

Stop giving excuses for sexual pervertism bro. Having sex with a 14 year old maid is not only spiritually wrong but also morally and ethically wrong whether there is temptation or no temptation. Let's forget church version, but any man who has no control over himself have no business being a family man in the first place. To him, the promise he made in front of God, his friends and family is another compromise. In fact he is not a real man. Btw, sleeping with a 14 year old maid....ewwwwwh...he should get a life or even better, some class. Besides, you that is defending him, did he confide in you that a 14 year old maid tempted him? Last time I checked you weren't the OP...speaks volumes about who you are...I'm no saint FYI.

GlorifiedTunde:
This is a very sensible thread. A lot of people have deceived or deluded themselves for long over a " God fearing " partner . I'll answer what it means now.

A God- fearing person is:

1. Not just a Church goer
2. Not just a Church worker
3. Not just a title bearer
4. Not just a gentle and morally sound person.

But ..

1. A person who loves God deeply that you can easily tell when he talks
2. A person whose words of encouragement is always backed up by scriptures
3. A person who doesn't feel shamed talking about God
4. A person who doesn't joke with sin
5. A person who doesn't hang around sinners or sinful places
6. A person who's friends too are godly
7. A person who will never ask you for sex before marriage
8. A person who tries all his best to avoid sin and feels terribly guilty when he falls into sin
9. Someone who loves to serve God, in fact a God-addict

However, you cannot properly assess a real Godfearing partner if you are not. You are likely to base your judgement on your own level of spirituality.

For instance, a lady who clubs and believes she is Godfearing, will tell you a guy who drinks and go to Church too is Godfearing.

What I'm saying is that, your judgment of a Godfearing partner is usually equal to your personal spiritual level.


Most ladies do not actually like the real Godfearing man, they call them "overspiri" and "boring"


I have counselled many ladies, they always want a good+bad guy, which is impossible.

What they do not know however is that, being a Godfearing man doesn't mean you can't be loving, caring, romantic, protective, good in bed, funny and spontaneous.

Nice and most sensible post I've seen in a long, long time. Thanks for that

alexis007:
i so love how you ditched that gutter-dwelling rat from a minority tribe....really wanna french-kiss you 4 dat but my 'guy code' is standing in the way...#teamOneLove,NoHomo

Lolz...I totally understand bro...but no French kisses ooo...maka ndu m

Kolade354:
you these stupid son of ojukwu na u go split naija last.....you are too sentimental just because you are frm igbo land means igbo must be there.........I hate ur tribe

Then again...you go to expose your ignorance. You just spoke like a loser tribalist from nowhere. Besides, who needs your like? You can hate our tribe...I mean, who cares...when you are a nobody. Last time I checked, Nigeria has 170 million people....enough said.

Lawstudent:
you can change to law later. Btw you sound so smug and complacent, negative epithet in my book.

You couldn't have said it any better bro!

UnimkeAk:
You can that a technological breakthrough?

Take a chill pill.

I was jus asking since some morons on this forum have taken the moral high road and claiming to be better or even produce better things. But as far as am concerned, if you don't show ur own skill and products but at the same time berating what these ingenious guys achieved to the extent of calling it "shyte"...den u hv no business talking at all. That said, dt CityNG of a guy is an empty guy ranting like a lunatic! #peace

christopher123:
Paper engineer....show me ur inventions

Or rest in peace

You said it all bro like you read my mind

luqaz:
this is just the problem this country is facing... celebrating fetish and irrelevant achievements.. to be frank, this bois are jobless and the person that Posted this on the FP didn't think it through...
this is not a scientific or economic breakthrough,,, it's simply a project work which I believe all around this country there are millions of students doing better..

Fetish you say, please sir, tell us your area of specialization and what you can produce or you SHUT DA HECK UP...FYI they are not jobless, that is a great technological skill added to their ingenuity. They are not political thieves looting our money and sending our economy into oblivion! #peace

UnimkeAk:
Is this crap the first racing car to be produced?.

This simply goes to show the fallen standards of the educational systems in Nigeria.

Anybody with good technical skills can fix that shii up and even do a better job with the finishings(body work)

I am an engineer, so don't think I'm bashing what I don't know.

And as an engineer, which technological break through are you working on Sir? With all your technical skill what have you achieved...enough said..

InvertedHammer:

I don't understand what the debate is all about.

The project was a collosal waste of effort and resources.

If it were to be from Introductory Technology junior High students, I can understand.

But engineering students put four tires on a Keke, used Ragolis water container for a gas tank, and covered the crap with some pieces of metal put together by an imbe.cile and we are supposed to go gaga in jubilation.It is kind of stuff you see in the ghetto where kids whose parents cannot afford toys improvise to build something that would be used in a playground.

As a project, I score it an "F" because there is nothing original nor extraordinary about it. There was one olodo that put solar panels on a beat up junk VW beetle and called it a solar car. There was another one that built what he called a submarine in Lagos. Yeah! Suicide submarine for sure.

Stuff like this must be condemned so that those students will learn to use their brain next time and not freaking cut and join dumb shi.t like this. This is an embarrassment to UNIZIK's College of Engineering.
Then again, it is Nigeria where anomalies are fully integrated into the culture.

This should be moved to Jokes section. SMH.

As far as I've not seen your own achievement, nor seen you on TV...all what you wrote above is total trash! Btw, you are not in Nigeria and have no damn right to comment on what happens here. What are you doing over there? Come home and start performing magical transformation.

millionboi:
4million ride.....2expensiv o o

.4 million naira which is N400,000

tsolz300:
So these dudes spent 4m to build this piece of sh#t? ..
Wow....and it took them two years? Lol..

Ko kan aiye

.4 million , dat is N400,000 dats wat it says...look well before commenting. Besides, wat hv u achieved?? Nigerians nd hypocrisy..pathetic!!!

chizzy94: Yeah, I'm very fine. How about you?
I'm very humbled by your acknowledgement , thanks alot. Congratulations bro!

Tnx man! Guess I'll wait till I meet u in person and the pleasure is mine.

sirxbit: u b police man?

It's not only cops n detectives that investigates.

chizzy94: They do science courses in year one before proceeding to total Engineering in subsequent years.
And Engineering is 4 years abroad.

Hey bro! How are u? Hp u re gud. It's been a while actually...later got Production engineering actually. Tnx 4 being der....#respect

polz: Etz possible he'z tryin 2 confirm his admission status tru jamb e-facility meant 4 2013 admitteeZ... B sure etz 2014 b4 u check. U cn drop his reg no.

That's the reg no: 47011125GG

pweetyz: ..You're wrong woh..i got law and the correct 5 years was stated and i also have pals goind for medicine and jamb stated the correct 6 years..the problem was only with engineering courses..4 years was stated instead of 5 years

My dear, in Europe, engineering is normally 3 years plus one year for Industrial training known as SIWES but here in Nigeria, if you add one year for science in 100 level and another six months for SIWES, the years will increase...from my own investigation though.

Peetar3117: wats his subjects combo

Normal arts combo, English, Government, Literature and CRS. Yesterday, we discovered he has been admitted on Kofa but not on Jamb website, what should be done about it?? Tnx for offering to help..

Mcslize: Refresh your browser and check again.

Thanks bro! We later found out from the Kofa page that he was admitted from the first list but it hasn't been reflecting on jamb website even up till today. Am guessing it's another problem right?
