Politics › Re: No Nigerian Should Cry For Oby Ezekwesili.-Reno Omokri by DeeMain(m):
Reno is a big fool. Can you show the recording or the transcript of the said bashing of PDP and the endorsing of APC by Oby?

Oby that was invited by APC as a keynote speaker and she used the occasion to roundly vilify and rebuke them. In fact, as she spoke her truth to the polithiefcians, many of them wanted the ground to open so they can hide in shame.

And this fool is bitter because she stood for and spoke the truth against GEJ's misadventure of a government.

Oby has always spoken truth to power, no matter how uncomfortable or unpopular.

Madam Oby, if you are reading this just know there are Nigerians who really see you and love you to bits. You have the balls of a million men. You are a rare gift to this worrisome country and to humanity.

Oby for the Nobel Peace prize! One day we will hala your name and those who spoke evil against you will eat their words in shame.

Naansense and ingredients!
Sports › Re: Odion Ighalo Apologises: 'I Take Responsibility For Super Eagles' Loss'' by DeeMain(m): 1:30pm On Jun 27, 2018
My respect for Ighalo just went off the roof now. That's a leader right there. If only Buhari will learn from this young man and take responsibility for the wanton killings all over the north...

By the way, I hold the coach responsible for yesterday's loss, not you bro. He is a murutum imkpavum.
Sports › Should Rohr Stay Or Should He Be Sacked? by DeeMain(op):
Forget the misses, forget the officiating, the truth is that as a team, we were just not good enough.

There were glaring problems in our game yesterday which the Argentines capitalized to punish us and I blame the coach for not correcting them in the course of the game.

The left side of our defence was shaky throughout the match and Rohr failed to respond till the end. Idowu was poor in the game and left huge gaps behind him, leaving Omeruo open in the defence. He was ineffective and should have been substituted in the match especially in that critical last 10 minutes. What was Rohr waiting for to change Idowu? He had Ebuehi and Echiejile to choose from. Even Ogu did so well in that position during some of our friendlies.

Also, the defensive midfield position should have been fortified in the last 15 -10 minutes to also help the troublesome left side of our defence. Ogu should have been brought on here to build a solid wall in front of our defenders. Yet our coach failed to react even with the many changes Argentina was making in their attack.

We went to the World Cup with a bad bench. True. But there were some good players like Iwobi, Ebuehi and Ogu that could have been given more opportunity to help the team.

A horrible opening match with Croatia, a good second match with Iceland and an average performance against Argentina. That's our World Cup scorecard.

A part of me likes Rohr and wants him to stay because we've not had a quality coach like him in ages while another part wants him sacked for a better, more vibrant and driven coach that will take us to the top.

What say thee? Should he be allowed to continue coaching the Super Eagles or should he be sacked?

Crime › Re: "I Was Sexually Abused By Older Women As A Child And Now I'm Gay" by DeeMain(m):
For you all saying it can't happen just shut up already! When you are sexually abused at an early age it might affect the part of your mid-brain responsible for sexual development and result in changes in sexual behaviour or even sexuality.

So yes, it's possible these horrible early experiences turned him gay.

New Creation or Reborn
Ekeh in ancient times is likely a deity that creates. This meaning is preserved in Chineke, the God that creates. I hope others can contribute to this too. Perhaps, there are other meanings I'm not yet privy to.

So how did you get New creation or reborn?

Thanks for your contribution. What's your thought about changing my surname from "Nweke" to "Ekeh"
You said that you want a good name that holds a special meaning for you and your children, right? My question will be does Ekeh hold that special meaning for you?

If you read my writeup very well, I said Nweke means "Nwoke amuri ubochi eke" meaning "A boy born on the eke market day" while literaly (syllabically) it means son of a python. So one is direct meaning while the other is literary meaning. I will appreciate if you can educate me more about the name "Nweke:" origin, deeper meaning and any other information about the name. I look forward to your response sir.
No man born of Igbo blood will interprete Nweke as son of python. Your imagination is playing tricks on you. The literal meaning is still child born on Eke day. It's like saying that Nwafor means child of stomach because afor (market day) sounds like afo(stomach).

Secondly, Azuka is actually Azukaego it means those backing me, my backers or those standing behind me (family/children/friends/supporters/defenders) are stronger/greater than money. Azu in this case symbolizes those backing me.

IntroVAT:
Ighalo is useless
On the contrary, he is a good player. He the only one that can deal with long balls and hold up play and link up with incoming players while traumatizing defenders. He was our saviour in the qualifiers. We forget too soon. In my opinion he did well when he came in today.

The same Musa we praise today has been called all sorts of names.

For someone who told us he "booked tickets" just so he can see her as if booking tickets is such an achievement in the child's life, he definitely would have added that he took care of the baby.
Same person whose own PARENTS had no idea they had a grand child for TWO WHOLE YEARS ASIDES THE NINE MONTHS PREGNANCY is the one you say was caring for mother and child? There is something called deductive intelligence. You can deduce intelligently from a part to form a whole.
Nne take it easy joor. Beautiful nonsense. You have a resident bias and it's affecting your comprehension and interpretation of the story. Quit projecting your hallucinations unto the guy! Read the damn story slowly this time without the emotional attachment. Detach.
Politics › Re: Buhari Is ‘void Of Emotional Intelligence’, Says Oby by DeeMain(m): 9:10am On Jun 07, 2018
First it was GEJ, now PMB, men devoid of the emotional intelligence and wisdom to lead the the fumbling giant called Nigeria and its multiplicity of tribes and problems.

Men promoted beyond their level of competence to the detriment of the many, sacrificing the salvation and glory of a people at the altar of tribal politicking and blind opportunism.

May these never cross our paths again.

Get your PVCs folks!

It's a teaching point, not an attack. We all (humans) have our weaknesses but should strive to work on them and overcome them. It's in our power to do so. That's my point wink

Yes
Cos there's no smoke without fire

A woman doesn't just wake up to act like a mad woman

So cos he's a man
Everything he does is right?
Have you taken your time to ask what he did?

Very little things sometimes turns a woman off after several endurance

He only said his side and there you all are asking him to leave her

I am impulsive too
So I can relate to what could have been the problem

They say you never know what it feels like to be hurt until you have been hurt
I am impulsive too.

Can't you see a problem with this?

Impulsive : Acting on impulse without thinking.

Allowing only your instinct drive your judgement, decisions and actions without applying conscious thought and sane analysis of consequences is not something humans should be proud of.

It is the nature of animals.

Unlearn it. Learn to think, to breathe and analyze before acting. Before you get yourself or loved ones into a mess.

In what way was it deliberate? Just unfortunate that Salah landed awkwardly. It was a 50-50 situation and that is why Ramos was not punished.....pls let's be Objective.
Either you are blind or lying deliberately. That was a mean wrestling move by Ramos . A hatchet job. A straight red card if there was justice in the world.

One solution is see a good therapist. I am one. He will help you deal with the guilt plus the intrusive images and get you to forgive yourself, get closure and start a new life with your husband. You don't have to tell your husband if you don't want to.
Family › Re: In Response To A Previous Thread Created By Amara Okafor by DeeMain(m):
I want to see my man.

It's not a cry of desperation. It's the cry of a core human need. The need to be and feel loved, to have that sense of connectedness to another. People feel loved in different ways. It was her love language crying out. It was her frustration acting out.

This unmet need was allowed to fester and grow into a sense of insecurity which allowed her own insecurities and weaknesses to come to the surface until something snapped.

She may have her flaws like you said but you sir, have contributed a whole lot to the miasma. You, as the leader, haven't created the right environment for the love you two profess to have for each other to grow.

All the stated flaws, yours and hers, can all be worked on if you two are committed but first the fundamental issue of proximity must first be addressed.

If after all these the conflicts persist then you two should take it as a forewarning of what will follow and bid each other bye. Save yourselves a future heartbreak and wish each other well.
Literature › Re: Chimamanda Adichie Responds To Critics On Hillary Clinton’s Twitter Bio Question by DeeMain(m):
Some corrections:

Ms is now the 21st century way of giving a lady a title without using Miss or Mrs. In essence when it is used you cannot tell if a woman is married or not. It simply says this is a woman. It removes the label of married or single from the description of a woman.

Christianity Etc › Re: Pastor Poju Oyemade: "How Culture Is Destroying Christianity In Africa" by DeeMain(m):
Many commenters miss his point. This article is Pst Poju joining the current debate in Christendom about tithing, giving, doctrines, grace and the law.

He is saying that there are some places were the older generation of ministers got it wrong and because of our culture of respect and deference to elders the new generation of ministers are afraid to speak up. That the real victim here is the truth as fresh revelations from the younger generation are buried on the altar of respect for the older.

He said that when the younger generation fail to speak the truth God has laid in their hearts that they jeopardize their position in God and also do a disservice to the earlier generation of ministers and that eventually some of them will begin to speak with anger and disrespect (read Freeze and the Free the Sheeple movement).

Bottom line, biblical truth and fresh revelation must be spoken and acted on by the current generation no matter what our culture says but that such speeches and actions should be laced with respect and honour to the preceding generation.

If you have a GF or wife, Try this with her, Without her knowledge/consent try to put your hand in her clothe towards her bra and see the speed she will respond

Or tell someone to try and pit hand in your trouser towards into your boxer towards your balls and see the speed you will respond and push away the person

Those are normal reflex actions for people its only when you are aware and conscious of the movement that you take time to respond or not respond at all
You fail to understand the power dynamics at play in this scenario: a powerful, highly respected authority figure who is in a position to influence your life for good or bad can have such an effect on another human as narrated by Chimamanda.

The effect of a power imbalance is hypnotic. It's like a spell. Power can cast a spell on her/his victim's thinking and response and exploit them sexually etc.

Examples of such power imbalance are: authority figures and the people that depend on them for survival or some favours , parents/guardians/trusted older relatives and the kids under their care, leaders in positions of authority/ political leaders and the people they govern, industry leaders (like Weinstein in Hollywood) and the people under them in that industry , employers and employees, spiritual leaders/pastors/imams and their followers etc.

These people have such hypnotic powers over the people under their circle of influence.

We should all condemn such abuse of power wherever we see it. I believe it's what Chimamanda is using her platform to do here.
