Of course, I agree.
I just didn' like the fact that he, and most us, tend to ignore the tremendous burden that women face in this male dominated society. Rather, we tend to blame
them for every social problem in the society.

True, true.

plaetton:
Yes, he certainly did.
He blamed the women for being baby mamas, and blamed that particular lady for bringing her child to work in a bad environment. He never for once mentioned anything about fatherhood, men , the sperm donors and the whereabouts of the man while the lady was bringing her child to work.
Women face a much greater burden in this dysfunctional system. They are the victims , not the causes of societal failures.

There is no point in exonerating either party from blame. It takes two to tango. If you think he has exonerated the menfolk, please dont exonerate the women folk. Both adults must be alive to consequences of actions.

plaetton:
Such lopsided nonsense.

Always blame the women for everything wrong in the society.
You forgot to advise the men to keep their Sausages in their pants, and use condoms when they cannot control their appetites, so as not to leave girls with babies without fathers.
If the men were more responsible, there would not be baby mama's struggling to eke out a living while taking care of children all by themselves.
The men , absent fathers are the ones who should be ashamed of themselves.

I am not sure from what I read there that the writer reserved blame for women.

Amalekki:
You have opted for a very narrow trajectory, out of several available paths, that would even make it a safe assumption that Niger Republic and Haiti could be compared with America

Amalekki:
So we are now comparing this our very same Nigeria with America of all places?

Why not: the rich almost everywhere in the world live better than the poor almost everywhere in the world.

And among middle classes experiences vary so wildly that you can have a person in Kenya with a better standard of living than a person in the States.

definitelyME:
For those of you that will just rush to book space to comment nonsense after reading just the heading without reading the storyline, they killed terrorist sympathisers, and murderers, not innocent people or some petty criminals..

Did you see where it says the executed included those with "deviant beliefs?"

Northernblood5:
Executing terrorist is not bad. This is a serious country that doesn't want to have anything to do with terrorism unlike nigeria terrorists have offices in gov houses.

Did you not see that some of those executed were accused of holding "deviant beliefs."

Do you know how broad that is in the KSA?

BigBashiru:
Technology was pioneered in Africa dear. Google "mali manuscripts" news of which broke out few days ago.....

The only areas I agree with you are: institutions and information management - we still have a lot of work to do in those area... in fact we are VERY BACKWARD in those areas.... the average Nigerian is docile and unserious and its affecting our institutions....I hope we get it right soon cos I hate abroad....

Personally, while I enjoy travel, I don't see myself permanently relocating. I am too deeply steeped in my African domicile and identify. I also cannot bear the thought of being any kind of second class citizen anywhere else.

PS: Tech being pioneered in one place doesn't render that place necessarily up to scratch on tech always.

BigBashiru:
Which advancement is my question....can you be more specific?? Lots of ppl say UK and Canada and USA is advanced yet wen we ask how exactly, they can't say.

Is it infrastructure?? Nigeria has contracted China Civil Engibeering and Construction Company to build infrastructure all over Nigeria so infrastructure is not a big deal.

So how else are they more developed??

Countries colonised by Britain such as Canada USA Australia and New Zealand are all depressing lonely countries that keep you in the middle class, always working for money and with no social life....

Someone has shown the fatalities from gun violence in 2 months in USA is more than herdsmen in Nigeria in 6 months....

So how's USA more advanced??

Never mind Quebec is currently trying to woo nurses and doctors from Tunisia and the magreb to come work there. Developed country Recruiting from developing country....how ironic....

Technology, Institutions and Information Management.

BigBashiru:
In what area is Europe more advanced? Google "mali manuscripts"... they left out physics and chemistry on in the reporting because they don't want to admit it. So we've proven scientific equality via the mali manuscripts...

So how exactly is Europe "more advanced"....

If its train we hv trains....

Unless you are joking, this is the type of deluded Afrocentrism that is comparable to those who say Christ was black.

Not that it matters what a random itinerant Jewish rabbi was.

While we know that much of Africa's history has been either erased or stolen by imperialism, this is no grounds to deny all advancement of other peoples.

ArewaNorth:
Only lazy an bitter people think otherwise!

That you say this tells me you know nothing about life.

SIRTee15:
Yet all my friends in uk are solid middle class and in career jobs offering close to 60k per yr.

If you are solid middle class then naturally most of your friends will fall into the same category. However this should not blindside you to the reality of the menial jobs which most immigrants are limited to.

BigBashiru:
Europe is not better than or the senior brother of Africa. Pls reorient your thinking

Dont get me wrong, I am Afrocentric in my worldview - nonetheless there is little point denying that other peoples have advanced further in this or that specific field of human endeavor. That takes nothing away from Afro pride of identity in my view.

PavillionEnergy:

. . . . they ate quick to forget that USA has done so much and invested a lot in human and material resources

Yes of course, like their investments in slavery and cotton fields.

ariesbull:
you never see folks living in tents, hostels and trailer for years

Leave them. . . . they dont know jack.

MsFaith:
Okay, since you want to be an ancestor that suffered to make Nigeria better, something your own ancestor couldn't do successfully, please carry on. You unborn generation will praise you for staying put.

Its an inter-generational marathon you are too shallow and fickle to ever understand.

feek07:
are people in the US afraid of being kidnaped,

No, they are afraid of getting shot carelessly.
Wahala dey everywhere, dont be deceived.

MsFaith:
Abeg, y'all and your families can stay to repair the country, as for me, we are leaving. Enough of struggling with no fruitfulness. We didn't come to this world to suffer suffer till we grow and die

But other people's ancestors came to this world to suffer and die with blood and sweat so that you could simply wake up, abandon your own struggle, and go and benefit from what they have toiled, suffered, bled and died for right? Short-cut awoof mentality, Kwantinu.

uuzba:
You will just be working as a slave.
Earn money, carry all and pay debts
Earn again, pay debts again!!
over and over and over till you are old.

Most of our people here dont understand this reality.
Especially the bold.
How the credit system locks you in for life.

MsFaith:
Please give examples of these better countries

Tell me you're kidding here.

MsFaith:
How do you want us to fix the country when we still have old and corrupt people lobbying for leadership positions?

First of, are you yourself in Nigeria presently?

There is nothing we are going through which Europe has not experienced ten times worse. If everyone had the run away mentality, there would be no great countries in the world.

olaboy33:
Whatever legal means they chose to recover their loans if you default, after accepting their conditions, you shouldn't complain of.

Legal means yes. Blackmail and invasion of privacy are not legal means.

Chigozirimkpoma:
Punch can't even edit typos correctly. Which one be Central Vank of Nigeria?

Slight error, pardon them, I am sure they meant the Central Wannk of Nigeriastan.

helpee:
oga stop embarrassing yourself. If you don't know something, learn. You don't have to know everything but be humble to admit when you dont know. You lost the argument... go home and fight another day. All these one sentence response is annoying Biko make we read other people's argument.. You don lose this one please

Na ego.
Needless ego.

mrvitalis:
It's not my fault u can't comprehend

This argument started with him saying intimidation and threat are not used to recover loans

I asked him to go look how repossession is done because stalking , Intimidation ,threat are all used ...the idea of repo is to shame the defaulter

If u can't link the two point it's not my business

You are simply advocating the criminal tactics of loan sharks while flinging around technical terms that have nothing whatsoever to do with such criminality.

Repos have nothing to do with legitimizing blackmail.

mrvitalis:
Which school did you go to again ?

Such repossession refers to action on a collaterized loan. The loans we speak of are not collaterized and this is exactly why the loan sharks resort to blackmail. If they were collaterized they would simply go after the collateral.

Why is humility so hard? I repeat: it doesn't kill to be humble. It doesn't kill to learn. It doesn't kill to admit you got something wrong.

My schools? I am proud of them. Corona. Kings College. Unilag and the Nigerian Law School.

wealthcome111:
Can somebody confirm if fair money is part of these illegal online banks? Thanks

Probably not and neither will Carbon be. Both appear to have strong corporate governance and global best practices.

mrvitalis:
Lawyer and you don't know what repo means ? Shame

A little learning can be a terrible thing. I warned you to be careful but you bound forth where angels fear to tread. You said "repossession" and in this clime it has a distinct legal connotation. Don't rush to mix and befuddle things with foreign terms that you are not familiar with.

Now at all events you then slant it towards what a "repo" is. Okay, here is what a Repo is -

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repurchase_agreement

A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo, RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is a form of short-term borrowing, mainly in government securities. The dealer sells the underlying security to investors and, by agreement between the two parties, buys them back shortly afterwards, usually the following day, at a slightly higher price.

Now can you tell me what a Repo as described here has to do with the scenario under discussion here concerning recovery of petty loans by methods of blackmail?

Let me suggest to you that it's not too late to climb down your high horse of pretentious knowledge on a subject you know nothing about. Be humble. It doesn't kill.

mrvitalis:
Repossession .. Google can help you read aboy repo men and how they operate

Start your own loan company if u think u can do better

Uncle, careful dabbling into what you don't know. I happen to be a lawyer and I am speaking with legal principles in mind.

You repossess tangible property - which you once possessed. A loan, you recover. But that's a small matter.

danngnews:
They are regulated, the problem is that they don't want to register with government's financial regulators,for example do you know that 90% of these loan companies do not have any known offices?

Gbam!

They vanish into thin air when you seek them. You can't even find an address to serve them court papers!

What sort of companies are those if not underworld loan sharks.

mrvitalis:
Really ? Do u know how repossession works all over the word ? Lmao

Tell me how it works. By blackmail? By libel and slander? By invasion of the privacy of unconcerned third parties?

By the way, I suppose you meant recovery there, and not repossession.

Careful.

Jakumo:
In this new video clip, a brave Ukrainian soldier lets fly with an NLAWS shoulder-fired anti-tank missile launcher, obliterating a Russian tank, and causing absolute panic among the troops and vehicles remaining in the armored column.

As the Ukrainian drone observes the fun and games impassively overhead, Russian soldiers can be seen disgorging from their vehicles like ants, and sprinting for cover under fire like Olympic athletes, while Ukrainian snipers attempt to pick them off individually with small arms fire.

This is yet another instance of "Wota don pass garri" for the Rusian invaders.

I wanted to add "while the drone observed in a scholarly and detached manner!"
