It will pass a message; its called representative, maybe the guy talk anyhow too, if he was begging them I am sure they won't beat him

Nope. This guys are just pawns, you should take it up with upper management.

GoggleB:
Good for them. At least they should learn some lessons.
Flight scheduled for 10am takes off 6pm sometimes.

But they are just the messengers now! Why do some people like shooting messengers?

Clone2020:
Lol, it really sucks working at Arik, one time they kept passengers waiting for over 15hrs past the flight time because they claimed they had no fuel. Boys took matters into their own hands and stormed their office, lol all their office workers took to their heels at such speed as if they've been trained to escape angry passengers, though one girl wasn't so lucky. Passengers barricaded lines to all flights both local and international, insisting no one leaves until we left. This was 4 years ago or so and I think I still have the video. When you take Arik airline, prepare your mind for all the worst things that can happen, its like the molue service of the skies.

But why did they attack the found staff? He is just the messenger?

Howmon:
Hehehehehhee

Igbos were shouting "enter enter bring him out", afonja's were doing the actual beating.
Both wings were properly represented.

We can't keep tolerating this level of disregard from those who should be accountable to us. These tickets are not cheap and time is money.

But the poor guy is just the messenger, why do you Nigerians like attacking the passenger?

Baroba:
Top level management are busy chilling in there pent house, this guy was just a cannon fodder for an irate mob.. Smh..

My guy I tire o. It seems that some Nigerians love shooting the messenger instead of taking it out on top managent. This guys at the airport are just ground staff.

blackberlin:
Must you always associate tribe to success? A Nigerian is a Nigerian, your wahala sef is too much. Why don't you ask what a Calabar man or Edo man has brought to plate.

I'm 100% Yoruba, but I'm being careful cos the comments on Nairaland can easily turn one into a tribalist. This is being fueled by Biafra agitators cos they believe they have no stake in the country and they believe the Yorubas voted for Buhari whom they so much hate. The Yorubas too fight back by calling the igbos flat-heads whenever the igbos call them afonja. . . I'm tired of all these.

Thanks for articulating my sentiments.

Atiku2019:
The national airline will be one that the government will have no hand in; normally it can have three percent,”




I Prefer 30%

Please tell me when statism has ever worked? I will be waiting.

nextstep:
... because the Nigerian government has a stellar record of providing services

Can't wait to hear tales of ill-maintained aircraft, owing workers 9 months salary, ghost workers, inflated maintenance contracts, 0% on-time departures, pilot strikes, luggage handler strikes, and deadlock about ticket subsidy.

Imagine the government running a mobile company, airline, or bank as well as it has handled the power situation...

And as we all know, the best time to start a capital-intensive airline is when there is little forex, people are flying less, and fuel is costing more. Thumbs up to our leaders. SMH

Gbam! Someone needs to frame this comment and put it on a wall.

Its so sad that this are the decisionbmakers in our country.

Hi everyone, I'm madly in love with this lady she is like (lemme guess) roughly 26 years while i'm just 22...she's working in a place beside the company i work with. We do talk sometimes, greet each other and some other stuffs...

But I'm scared to ask her out because of the age difference. She might took it wrong or embarrass me or something like that...

As a young man i dress well, look cute and behave well also but I dnt think all that count. I know it works in foreign countries or lemme say western countries especially, You know Africans and culture! Whats is the con and pro and Please share any similar experience you've had or saw and Your advice is needed also...

They say you miss 100% of the shots you never take.

when you eventually get married, you'll pay the role of the wife while she, the husband

Chei!! See Naija mentality. To make matters worse, the statement even has 26 likes. Na wa o.

Nofuckgiven:
Do you know you are the biggest fool on earth? Why don't you give out your 19 year old daughter to a man old enough to be her grandfather who already has other wives? Silly hypocrite

Back to sender many times over.

I9 is past the age of consent. That's there business, why don't you respect it and mind your own business?!?

You lack comprehension skills.
Having sex at any age is not the problem. The problem is old men having sex with children. It is called paedophilia, Google it. If a 10yr old wants to have sex with her peers there's no wahala. When adults prey on children I have a problem with that.




Are you a paedophile yourself? Why are you defending paedophilia?

She is 19 for goodness sakes! What's the matte with you people?

XendersPride:
Chronic perverts
Shagging.. that's what they're good at

You do know she 19 right?

ayodejijoshua:
CHAI CHILD ABUSE

Child abuse? She is 19. Thats over the legal age.

Candycrusher:
i feel sorry for her punny. 15 inches royal highness dick every night for a girl who should be getting ready to gain admission into higher institution. The north and their religion are anti-women

What?!?! She is not an infant, she is 19!!!!!
What's the matter with you?

hizaya61:
Dear friends, my eyes has seen many rubbish working with Indians, they maltreat we blacks as if the country belong to them. yesterday they sacked a co-worker for not coming to work on "January 2nd" public holiday, which was posted by the hr manager on the notice board. after he reported the issue to the hr manager that the head of the department "Nigerian" said they have sack him, the hr manager said there's nothing he can do. the so called "union" and the black management staff cant even say anything because the level of high service is 1000% they are always afraid of confronting this Indians, then i use to hear of people talking about modern slavery now i also have experienced it. one day very soon they will started putting chains in our hands and legs. i guess the hr manager is suppose to handle issues like this or am i wrong ?

Where is the dept of labour in all tgis?

Hi,
Naira landers, this is my first post. i wish to first salute the administrator of this is forum. Kudos! And thumps up for every forum members. I found the forum really resourceful and most of all humorous. You know laughter is a good medcine.

Back to the title of my post. I need your advice please. I've been married for the past 4 years and with 2 kids. I discovered my hubby is having ex marital affairs with diff women. It really makes me mad cos of the surrounding circumstances. While I was out of the country to have our first baby and almost lost my life, my hubby was out having fun. i discovered 2 years later!

To cut it short, i confronted him and brought our marriage counsellor into the knowledge. He admitted it and promise to stop. this is a year after and he is still in touch with a particular one of them( a banker). He always locks his phone so i cant access it and tells me he has confidential information (mails and text from his female friends)

As much as I don't wish my marriage to fail, I feel emotional torture and I feel i should have a showdown with this particular lady. i have her contacts and i know her office.
I feel so disturb pursuing a career and taking care of 2 little kids.

I wish to go for my MBA abroad but I cant cause of my experience of leaving him for 2 months. why are men like this?

How did you end up resolving it?

So sad.

Tweety121:
I am not as young or as innocent as I look, yet every time I cross the street with any man, whether I've known him 10 minutes or 10 years, they either hold my arm/hand or put a protective hand on my back and lead me to the other side of the road.

Most Western-minded, proudly independent, 21st Century women would be insulted by this because they feel it patronises them; they can cross the street just as well as any man! I don't. I take it as a compliment that a man acts on his natural instinct to protect when he's with me. Some women, because of the aggressive vibe they give out quench this gentlemanly behaviour in guys, but I'd like to think it is because of my sweet, accommodating nature that men are willing to open doors or pull out chairs for me.

Now I know and they know that I can do these things for myself, but that's not the point. I'm a lover of classic literature like Pride and Prejudice because it describes a time when men were men and ladies behaved decently and were treated with care because they were the fairer sex. I am not insulted by this, and I believe that women that are have either been hurt by misogynistic men or were told that a woman is just as good as a man and doesn't need to be treated differently.

Well, its their loss. If a man wants to treat me nicely because I am a woman, let him. I know I am just as intelligent as he is, so why should his chivalry make me feel bad?

There's a difference between a man opening a door for you and a man not allowing you to speak in public. Women in certain Middle-Eastern or African countries have the right to demand more fairness because they are been oppressed, but I'm afraid if women get more fairness in the West they might stop having babies, because if men don't have to do it, why should we?!

So its obvious that I am not a feminist. I thank the Women's Movement for the vote, shattered glass-ceilings and the Pill, but it all spun out of control when:

Women Started Acting Like Men

Some women think that if a man can sleep with 300 women and be admired by his peers, why can't she sleep with 300 men and be equally respected? Well, umm, apart from this being a cry for help, nature discourages it. A man produces trillions of new sperm daily throughout his lifetime, whilst a woman is born with about 400 viable eggs, is able to fertilise only one a month, and then they run out when she's 45. Also, women tend to get pregnant after sex whilst men can walk away if they so wish, and the reproduction game is such that whilst a man shoots and deposits, a woman receives and incubates.

All this means that nature has given men the ease and biological efficiency to have sex-and-go a lot, whilst women have to deal with the palaver of periods, pregnancy and ticking biological clocks. It kinda seems as if 'Mother Nature' is a misogynistic man trying to ruin women's fun doesn't it?

Fact is women are BUILT differently from men and it is not everything they do that we should do. Those that want to out-earn, out-drink or out-burp men may feel emancipated now, but a wise man is not looking for a woman to compete with but a mate to build a life with, and a woman that uses her femininity to compliment a man will have a happier home.

Women Started Demeaning Men

I dislike watching adverts these days because of the trend for women to belittle men. Commercials like Windows 7's Family Photo is one that I actually switch channels to avoid watching. I just get angsty about seeing a woman say things to a man that will cause outrage if the tables were turned. Watch a round of adverts next time you're in front of the TV with this in mind, and you'll see stroppy, domineering women chastising gormless men for being inept. Its never the other way round. Because that would be sexist.

The funny thing is that ad executives are overwhelmingly male, so either they're being funny, or worried that if they don't toe the feminist line there would be backlash. It's probably the latter.

I was watching a show about weddings, where it is the norm for the bride-to-be to complain that the groom doesn't help enough etc and then a 'Fairy God-mother' is called to help. But one episode had a wealthy young man who was outspoken about the fact that he'll pay for the wedding, but the bride should make all the arrangements (he was American. I noticed that their adverts are fairer). The female voice-over and 'Fairy God-mother' were indignant: how dare he be so honest about his disinterest and put the bride in a bad light! Didn't he read the memo? Only the bride can complain; the man should just nod and apologise!

The gender role-reversal in the media probably reflects reality. Today most divorces are initiated by the woman who is encouraged to not put up with any dissent, I mean failings in a man. Of course I know that men can be *%*#*@*, but perhaps women don't try so hard anymore?

Women Started Saying They Didn't Need Men

I used to say this. Back when I was young and drunk on the feminist power Destiny's Child sung about. Sure women can and have raised babies who became well-adjusted adults without the help of men, but should they? It's fine if you have no choice, but to make a conscious decision that you want to raise your child without a father is like cutting your nose to spite your face. Children from such homes grow up with daddy issues because it was never supposed to be that way.

Women also say this to mean they can buy their own houses, cars, clothes, weaves, shoes etc without the help of men. That's fabulous. I'm sure the men are quite happy not to have to pay for all these things too. But I personally want my husband to take care of me and be the breadwinner, and thankfully I'm with a traditional Hausa man who feels that it is his responsibility to provide for his family.

So after we marry I'll take primary care of the children, (since they grew in my body for nine months and were then fed with my body-juice, it seems fair) cook, clean, work and help him be the best he can be, whilst he protects, provides, procures the bacon and loves and respects me as the superwoman-mother-wife-lady I am. He'll probably wash the dishes too sometimes because he's nice like that. But he doesn't have to.

It's old-fashioned and I love it. There's something, wholesome about the natural order of things.

Great piece. I thought it was written by HuffPo

raumdeuter:
I have a friend whose mother didnt attend his wedding because she did not approve of the girl he is getting married to

Among these people they have segregation based on religious beliefs, your family's financial background, social beliefs, what part of the country you are from, what level of education.

Are they from Asia?

EgunMogaji:
Confirm.

Some men are just natural door mat.

Bros, the thing whither me o and the crazy thing is that he posted in Facebook for almost everyone to see.

arabianights:
the guy is SHARP. INSTEAD OF Criticizing him better learn from him. Fine, God fearing lady.. Saw an asset and kept his eyes on the price. Some of you are talking rubbish while he has gotten a valuable asset. Lucky man

Learn?? Learn what? How not to have self respect?

Mrnairalandd:
How i wish i know him in person

I ll gladly walk to him and tell him to prepare for this looming pains

The lady was looking for her spec for those 5 years while this dude was there drooling all over her. Unfortunately for her, she got played by players and decided to grab this ode dude...

The guy was just an option who got promoted to where he is right now cos she couldn't find her spec

Bros, I tire o. He be like say some guys just no get self respect.

The facial expression of toaster is classic.

Rukkydelta:
This one is serious

I tire o.

CyberGypsy:
creepy? it called been persistent

Persistent? Uhm, no! Its called being a pest and a stalker and this kind of behavior could get you arrested in other parts of the world. In case you don't know, in some more advanced parts of the world, NO MEANS NO!!!! Where is your self respect?

This is just a pathetic story really. The girl didn't like him and the guy bribed his way into her heart with money and gifts. I am sorry bro but love should not be based in things of monetary value. Love should be mutual, one individual should not be doing all the wooing and pursuing while the other does not put in effort. In an ideal relationship both parties should be crazy about each other. It shouldn't be so one sided. Any ways, its different strokes for different folks.

Catalin:
And their marriage will end up like Ubi Franklin and Lilian Esoro's own.

Who are they?

Lol... you are right. During my service year in Patani, I came across these 2 surnames TEXACO, DOUBLE BARREL. Oyinkepreye Double barrel, that name is stuck on my head
