What do people gain for arguing with strangers on Nairaland?

What do people gain from drinking alcohol or soft drinks

What do people gain from knacking?

Wetin Dayo gain from amala turning?

Everyone to their own poison.

Abi oh. Heaven knows I would have churned out tens of books by now if I had devoted the same energies to such a pursuit as I have to Nairaland. But you are so right. There is a kick that one gets, a conversational pleasure, and engagement. Like any other pleasure.

QuinQ:
I don't know about greatest. I think that's pushing it. But I do think he's been an extremely active president

Thank God. A Trumpist who restrained himself from extremity this time. As rare as the unicorn.

mascot87:
Most of them comment out of ignorance, emotion and delusion.

What could be more emotional than wanting the face of your perverted convict on the dollar, a thing traditionally reserved for those who have passed on, who are actually dignified souls and not gutter comedians?

CanadaOrBust:
Now, now, now. Them's fighting words. How do you know he's smelly??
Now, while I don't agree with his penchant for wanting to slap his name on everything, I do think he's about the greatest president US has ever had

Comical.

I dont even have to start listing the greats.

How dare you compare this criminal, perverted and racist buffoon to characters like George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, to mention a few?

Honestly, Trumpists are the only ones more clownish than Trump.

benalvino3:
and the guy from Zulu village living in Nigeria Deepsight 😂😂

How come Zulu village?

You just admitted that systemic racism does not exist. I quoted your exact words

No she didnt. And I schooled you up on something elementary. Don't be a dolt.

cococandy:
You slow sha. Ugh 😩

I swear!

benalvino3:
IjeBos, she said it. She admitted it.

Also, DeepSight, take note.
Systemic racism does not exist however, there are racist people, and their racism affects anyone - Blacks, Whites, Asians, etc.

Sweet Jesus. So you dont even understand basic written English.

smirn:
You think the best is to play politics with the unfortunate situation. You are indirectly delighted that people are being kidnapped. In as much as we call on all levels of government and also the security professionals to wade into the crisis, it is disheartening that some elements are taking undue advantage of the ugly circumstance. The security agency should wake up and do the needful. The president is not a security experts but only ceremoniously direct an already existing security structure in the country. We have the service chiefs and the IGP of police, they are the core professional trained to protect lives and property. They should wake up from their slumber and perform their duties. We should not leave the front of the yam and be digging the back.
The president can only give directives but can not be physically involved in protection and rescuing operations. Those he is commanding should do their job or quit.

@ the bold.

No, the president's command of the security architecture is not ceremonial, it is executive.

@ the red. Did the opposition not play politics with Chibok girls during the Jonathan administration?

Kukutente23:
You mean because he was addicted to drugs he doesn't have a right to an opinion yet it god deemed a former drug addict fit to govern a state for 8 years
Never mind the fact that your god is linked to the drugs trade

GBAM!

Image123:
Tinubu didn't present himself as perfect, in fact, he said he'd make mistakes along the way.
https://youtube.com/shorts/TXxAUmb5cV4?si=b7VE5TWH0laD0F_0

As for Chibok issue, it was more like a sort of climax, or straw that broke the camel's back in the GEJ time. People have since 'gotten used' to that kind of event, albeit unfortunate. It's like seeing blood or accident the first time, and seeing it many more times.
Another important thing was the initial denial of the GEJ government which was contrary to Shettima's(Borno governor then) cry out. Plus, we had a well 'packaged' opposition then, compared to the jokes parading themselves now.
We're making good progress in the fight against insecurity, especially with boko haram and most of the north stroke herdsmen crises. South east is also better. Kudos to Ribadu and his team. The issue of state police is also on the table which, i think, is a big plus.
The major problem now are the bandits/kidnappers. It will also be solved. i understand it's quite lucrative and easier compared to the others. i hear people even kidnap themselves these days. All of these have deep roots and i sincerely don't think anyone of the other prospective presidents would've or would fare better. It's not like the solution is a call, visit or bullet away.

I agree that the opposition was FAR better organized and purposeful back then.

Image123, Seunmsg, security is improving right?

Image123:
Make i use some rights na, thanks. i remember the video from the picture below during fPMB. i remember during GEJ's time also. As regards insecurity, i think we're making good progress and will make more. It's easy for terrorists and bandits to pick on soft targets, irregardless of who is currently in power. We hope the issues can be solved.
As for economy, we're out of the tunnel which was not exactly built by Tinubu.
As for other areas, and the areas already mentioned, i still believe none of Tinubu’s competitors come close in competency, capacity and experience.

Whatever sympathy I had for Peter has evaporated with his recent selfish actions.

Bola could really have done without a few infamous acts. The manner of subsidy removal was too brash and harsh, the timing of naira floatation was ill considered and all things Chagoury will always smell rotten, not to speak of Atiku Bagudu.

But if you remember the kind of storm that was raised over Chibok girls, what excuse is there for the same thing to be happening time ten, twelve years later? And if you look at the statement by Oby Ezekwesilli you will see that in fact the problem has escalated vastly. No, sir, there is no improvement in security.

Image123:
What lie have i told ohhhhhhhhh?

The lie that Bola is doing well.

But no worries, you are an old paddy here so you gas some rights.

Codedworld1:
But if not that we Nigerians are just a foolish person. Same state as a representation down to the local government but we choose to call tinubu where other elected personel failed in their job. Honestly we are not ready let's keep doing content with our lives.

No other elected person did the things he singularly did to enthrone hardship.

HacheNoire:
How do you expect the government to take Peter Ogbudu serious?

Should I remind you that Peter Ogbudu was a drug addict that was rehabilitated in the United Kingdom, and previously spent TEN years in a psychiatric home in Lagos, Nigeria?

Y’all expect the government to react to everything but never consider the mental status of the messenger!

People like you and Seunmsg and Image123 are wasting your energy telling lies to Nigerians because everyone including yourselves feels the negative difference brought about by this govt. And the vast majority are clear in their minds that this govt is no good for them. No amount of talk changes the pain of the cost of living, the power situation or the unspeakable security situation. Most of you only parrot what you do as a result of ethnic chauvinism. Nothing more.

Bola is likely to win next year, but that's no result of popularity for sure. A mix of the stupid division of opposition and rigging will ensure that.

Like Trump supporters, I urge you all to just enjoy. The weeping of Nigerians under this insensitive govt will not last forever nor can Bola rule forever. A day will come when he will go and then you can revert to criticizing whoever is there even if he is doing better.

DoWhatThouWilt:
When living life peacefully is becoming impossible in Nigeria, The very first thing Nigerians think of doing is Japa!

Let me tell you why.

They prefer doing that than following the usual keypad warrior advice of brain54 below...





....because they know that unity in Nigeria is impossible.

With a few cartons of indomie and a bag of rice, or a fake news that one tribe is burning the shop and house of another tribe, politicians can turn a peaceful nationwide protest into chaos and anarchy.

They know the right buttons to push to disunite us because they know who nigerians really are, a group of people who named a generator "I beta pass my neighbour".

Digression. Are you a Satanist or a disciple of Aleister Crowley?

Kushites:
DON'T GIVE ME THIS BULLCRAP.

IF YOU COME IN HERE AND TYPE RACIST NONSENSE AGAINST THE BLACK RACE WHICH CIVILISED THIS WORLD, AND WITHOUT WHICH THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD BE LIVING IN CAVES, YOU WILL BE MET WITH FACTS.

POWERFUL FACTS YOU CAN'T REFUTE.

UNDERSTOOD?

IF YOU MUST CRITICISE, YOU DO SO WITH THE SAME RESPECT YOU LAVISH ON SO-CALLED WHITE PEOPLE.

UNDERSTOOD??

Stopped at first line again. I am allergic to such childishness. Good luck.

Kushites:
WILL YOU SHUT UP AND GO AND RESEARCH BEFORE TYPING RUBBISH?

NAME THE BLACK COUNTRIES YOU HAVE RESEARCH OR VISITED IN YOUR LIFE?

DON'T BOTHER. WE KNOW IT'S A BIG FAT ZERO.

HAVE YOU EVER STEPPED FOOT IN, OR RESEARCHED BOTSWANA, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, THE BAHAMAS, JAMAICA, GABON, NAMIBIA, GUYANA, RWANDA, TANZANIA, ANGOLA, BARBADOS, ANTIGUA, OR EVEN KENYA, SENEGAL, IVORY COAST, GAMBIA, ETC?

NO!

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM

ZERO.

ALL YOU KNOW IS YOUR WESTERN PROPAGANDA OF "AFRICA BAD, WHITE MAN ANGEL".

WHAT ELSE IS IN YOUR HEAD?

ZERO. NOTHING.

NUMEROUS BLACK AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE FAR HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS THAN INDIA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH, SRI LANKA, AND EVEN SOME POORER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES LIKE TAJIKISTAN, AZERBAIJAN, ALBANIA. ETC.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

SHOULD I DROP THE FIGURES, INCLUDING UN HDI FIGURES?

DARE ME!




SO WHY IS INDIA WITH OVER A BILLION ASIANS POORER THAN MANY AFRICAN COUNTRIES?

THESE COUNTRIES YOU ARE INSULTING LIKE JAMAICA AND GUYANA, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM, APART FROM THE SKIN COLOUR OF THE PEOPLE, OR YOU WOULD NEVER TYPE THIS ARRANT NONSENSE ABOUT THEM.

I HAVE BEEN TO THOSE COUNTRIES.

THEY ARE HIGHLY ORGANISED AND PROSPEROUS.

ARE YOU EVEN AWARE THAT 13 OF THE 20 FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES ON EARTH TODAY ARE AFRICAN?

ARE YOU AWARE THAT AFRICA HAS THE FASTEST GROWING MIDDLE CLASS ON EARTH?

HOW WILL YOU KNOW?

HAVE YOU FINISHED WATCHING CNN TELLING YOU ABOUT 'HAITI' AND 'BOKO HARAM'?

THE LESS OF YOUR TYPE WE HAVE IN AFRICA AND NIGERIA, THE BETTER FOR THE CONTINENT.

INSTEAD OF BEING LAZY AND CONDITIONED BY CNN TO SEE EVERY BLACK COUNTRY AS BROKEN, USE YOUR BRAIN AND RESEARCH, AND LEARN.

NONSENSE.

Gosh. While I am in lockstep with you on this matter you really need to drop the aggressive way of reacting. Wirinet has not yet said much, simply the obvious truth that the generality of African nations lag behind as of now. Wirinet, I can assure you, is a big thinker who is not thoughtless or shallow in the least. If he decides to address you, rest assured he will be coming with serious nuggets for thought.

seunmsg:
A video was posted online yesterday of people beating someone in a market. Someone brought it to Nairaland and claimed the person went to campaign for Tinubu and they started beating. Without any APC insignia, without any audio to support the claim and with no proof whatsoever, the moderator rushed it to front page. I saw the thread and shake my head. Now that this video surfaced today with clear audio and visual evidence, they are calling it propaganda.

But you do the same. Your bias is just the same as what you have described.

wirinet:
Because, no black civilisation is thriving as of today. All black majority countries are a basket case of corruption, poverty, wars and underdevelopment. Countries governed by white and Asian people tend to develop with a few decades, ie Australia, white South Africa, New Zealand, while countries ruled by blacks tend to disintegrate with a few decades, ie Haiti, black ruled South Africa, Jamaica, Guyana, Liberia.
The blackman tend to be more interested in satisfying selfish primordial instincts of person interests, sex, religion, celebrations, etc,than collective interests that develop the whole society.

And what do you consider responsible for this? Simple inferiority of black people, or just the normal tide of history and evolution of societies in progress.

raumdeuter:
Fitting that the black conservative you tolerate is dead

No living one.

There is nothing like death in this matter. Not relevant.

raumdeuter:
Which party does not believe in the right ro life liberty and pursuit of happiness

The closest I know is the Democratic party the party of slavery and Jim crow

That want to keep black in the plantation little wonder that Democrat run city are usually hell holes for blacks from Chicago to Memphis to Baltimore etc

But you are the one who agrees that blacks were better off under Jim Crowe.

raumdeuter:
Discrimination on the base of racial origin is wrong

Oh really? This is your view? You could have fooled me.

raumdeuter:
Name one black conservative you tolerate

Late Colin Powell.

ijebosb:
The things people who don't live in the US say to pretend they live in the US but actually gives more credence to the fact that they don't live in the US.

Wasn't that statement so insane?

Comical!

ijebosb:
He's basically asking, show me a human who supports the ebola virus.

Rational black people don't support a party that does not believe in their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Any black person who does, does so because they have made a shrewd calculation that the financial/emotional gain of being tokenized is worth it and will insulate them from the harm of that party being in power.

Mostly. There will be those however who do so on religious / moral grounds especially over LGBTQ and Abortion issues, etc. In addition to a small amount of people who just earnestly think more conservatively in terms of policy.

benalvino3:
Dude, show me one black person that does not support democrats that you like?

Modern day slavery and boot licking.

I am sure many of us can actually tolerate the black person who simply prefers conservative views and policies from a truly ideological view point and who is fairly balanced in thinking such that he can criticize evil wherever he sees it. Such a person is completely different from the Uncle Toms here who aggressively put down and denigrate all things black and aggressively promote white supremacy and defend discrimination against blacks and racism, who dedicate themselves to the worship of white supremacy and defend with all their energy any abominations or atrocities committed against black people while jumping to accuse the entire black race of all things vile once they see the slightest imperfection anywhere, such as one fraudulent market woman.

benalvino3:
Here in the US, people don't cheat like it appears in the video.

Joker.

benalvino3:
More like misleading.
Throw all the excuses in and run away from the real issue.

When you people are wrong, the narcissistic brain cells in your heads won't allow you guys to admit it.

Do people cheat like appears in that video in advanced countries?

bemeruca:
You are ignoring the elephant in the room by introducing bigfoot to the equation.

I other words, you are excusing failure. That's the mindset.

I cant keep trying to enlighten you. Believe whatever you want to believe.

Jman06:
You are a full! There's nothing to be ashamed of because I did not grape her. She fully consented and was above the age of consent at the time. This is how you woke wannabes deceive some men into marrying menopausal women and then end up battling with infertility yet you accuse them wrongly for the infertility. Someone like me can't be so deceived because I'm smart enough to know all the drawbacks of marrying old women.

Cry-cry cradle snatcher.
