Iloveu778:Ewww... ![]() One of the things I like(d) about Nairaland is it's simplicity and calm, soothing colours. The overuse of these new emojis will be a multicoloured nightmare. Same as you find on Discord. I rarely visit Discord for this reason. Anyway, it seems majority of nairalanders like the new ones - I guess we just have to accept it. |
He was clearly sleeping there. People need to understand that national campaign is a tedious task. When you combine daily travel with endless meetings and just a few hours sleep every night, and you do this for months and months, it soon catches up with you, and you'll find yourself struggling to ward off dozing during the day. This applies irrespective of age, but the older you are, the more pronounced the problem is. Once campaign is over, you have better control over your schedules and you are able to get more night time sleep. |
Violence against ordinary people is not the answer. If you're so confident about your candidate, why not allow other people express themselves in favour of their preferred candidate. |
Can't renew my domain name registration, and so my emails have stopped coming through. It's a nightmare. |
EmiDon11:Calm down. No need for abuse. A woman that gave birth only a few weeks earlier would likely be lactating at a high rate. It is therefore highly likely that breast milk will gush into the guy's mouth. Ewww.. just typing about it is so .... |
Ewwww.... Why would an adult want to taste breastmilk. The taste must be perfect for babies, as God wants it. For an adult, it must be disgusting. |
Aareakinwunmi:That's not universally proven. Between 25% and 30% of French, British, and American women do not breastfeed, and there is no clear evidence that breastfed children do better than those not breastfed. How come all the breastmilk drunk in Nigeria over the decades has not made us any more intelligent than them. https://today.yougov.com/topics/society/articles-reports/2013/09/11/french-women-least-tolerant-public-breastfeeding It's usually western NGOs who perpetrate the misinformation that African women must breast feed. They do this mostly for their own benefit. The NGO's mostly insincere advocacy is usually for their own self interests, as it is easy for them to raise money from their countries by painting a picture through CNN, BBC, and the likes of 'poor' african women who need to be saved urgently from the grip of 'profit merchants' like Nestle and other baby food manufacturers. Yet, a big proportion of the monies these foreign NGOs raise ultimately go into buying expensive Land Cruisers for themselves, living in the most salubrious parts of African capitals, and awarding themselves salaries they can never earn in their own countries. While they are happy to exercise the right to choose whether to breastfeed their own children in their own country, they want to deny African women that same right by feeding them largely unproven information. Breastfeeding takes a lot out of a woman, and once a woman breastfeeds, the effect on their chest area is irreversible. Yet, the husband who insisted on breastfeeding their children will, in no time, start longing for the 'old' chest. And before you know it, he will start contemplating a dalliance with young ladies whose bodies are still intact ![]() Women can't win in Africa. |
xpressionx:You are wrong. He was released on bail. That doesn't mean the investigation is closed or that his identity was mistaken. UK police will not typically arrest a person on the basis of physical description alone if the complainant is able to provide other identity - related information including estimated age, nationality, social/political status, height, complexion etc Also don't assume that every complainant of rape in the UK results in the detention of the alleged culprit. Even persons facing manslaughter allegations are not subject to automatic detention. Mr Ekeremadu's case should not be seen as setting a general precedent for all cases involving Nigerians facing allegations of serious misdemeanor. UK police will generally treat every complaint on its own merit. It is possible Mr Dokpesi has nothing to do with the incident alleged, and will been released from further investigation. He may also have been released temporarily to enable the police obtain additional information from the complainant. I suggest you wait and see how this develops. |
grandee4u:Marrying a virgin doesn't guaranty anything. |
XTHRONE:So, a woman is working and buys herself the phone she likes, just like you do yourself, and then you turn round to seize the phone and give her a 'non-browsing phone.' Something tells me this is not how marriages work. Even if she is not working, treating your wife like a servant is not justifiable. There are other ways of resolving an issue like this without it escalating. That said, Op must find his wife's temerity in accusing him of insecurity, rather than finding a way to reassure him, worrying. |
spice123:Interesting. I commend your wife. She did a good job getting your head exactly where she wants it to be. No doubt she praises you as a 'post-modern man', and tells you you are a 'wonderful' and 'understanding' man and that you are not like those other 'local' men. I bet you live your life feeling so great about your wife's 'praises'. Again, I commend your wife. She is in control...of your head. No doubt she sits you down to watch American romantic films, where de-masculined men accept constant emotional manipulation in the name of post-modernism. I am very pro women's rights, but man, this has gone too far. She even got you into having telephone conversations with her ex, and you seem excited by the 'privilege' to speak to the guy. And now, you can't wait to jump on the plane to go to 'Americcur' on a trip paid for by your wife's ex, who you have never met, but have spoken to a few times on the phone Many men would feel embarrassed if they were presented with this situation.I suspect there is something deeper here - some form of insecurity, certainly emotional, and possibly financial too. I won't be surprised if your wife is in a stronger financial position than you. Nothing is wrong with that. What is wrong is the way you seem to have allowed yourself to be so defenestrated as a husband that you seem to have lost yourself. By the way, I am not even suggesting any form of amorous relationship between your wife and her ex. I see little point in speculating about people's intimate goings on. |
So the CBN man is still abroad. If Tinubu wins, Emefiele is done. That Union bank deal will be investigated. That a Central bank Governor gets so politically involved is extraordinary. His policies are so directly influenced and dictated by two families with a power base in Aso Rock, it is embarrassing. |
PDP needs to tell the nation the truth about Atiku's situation. |
The $10 billion should be going into revamping the transmission infrastructure, not solar and battery. I guess America has chosen what will best benefit their own economic interest. |
Over Christmas, a friend told me his return ticket to South Africa was around N300k meaning roughly N150k each way. I was surprised, as I understand it's almost 6hrs journey. Yet, I flew from Lagos to Akure on a business trip in September for N75k! It's only 30mins. Things are just too expensive here and the blame goes to Nigerians themselves. The profit margin people put on their goods and services is too high. |
Lack of organization is a big problem in this country. I won't be surprised if funds were not released to INEC on time. |
Point to rail, critics will say, we give Buhari credit just for that one. Point to massive revamp at Abuja International airport, and MMIA. They'll say, yes, just that one, we give him credit. 2nd Niger bridge nko, they'll repeat. Yeah, just that one. Mention vastly improved rice production; 2nd Niger bridge, Lagos - Ibadan express, new fans in the North; other infrastructure up and down the country and many more improvements. The response is the same. |
I hope Amotekun personnel are on Nairaland, so they can understand that we appreciate them and wish them, and their families a fabulous year ahead. If you have access to their Commanders and even senior politicians, including Governors, please share this thread with them, so they don't relent. We thank the Governors for Amotekun. We don't want to hear after election that there's no more money for Amotekun o. Or that security threat has subsided thus justifying a reduction in their funding. Governors need to continue to develop the Amotekun structure irrespective of parties. |
Amotekun has retained the quiet support of the populace, and that's partly because: 1. They are recruited from local communities, not strangers transferred from far away States who don't know the local environment, or speak the language. 2. They generally keep a low profile - no gra gra, no harassing people. 3. The people see them as a force for good. 4. I believe some measures were taken to ensure those recruited were proposed/supported/guaranteed by local people, so if you mess up, the authorities know your family house, your parents, uncle, aunt, and even where your baby mamas live etc ![]() Ironically, I think their limited powers have been key to their success. The day they have the power to stop and arrest people, things might be different. |
The amount of cholesterol in that last plate ![]() |
Christmas without fried rice. Is that Christmas. |
I feel sorry for the military. We need to give this people a break. There was no need for the deputy Governor to leave his office and start giving them a dressing down over whether they should be in charge of a road block or not. He was a Director in the Military...so? Why didn't he contact their commanding officer. The Army have said over the years that they would rather not be involved in this type of work, but when the government orders them to do the work in order to improve security, some people and even senior government officials who lack patience still go out to abuse them ![]() In my experience, army road blocks tend to move faster than those manned by police. A lot of the delay that happen is usually caused by motorists who refuse to queue in single file. I generally feel safer on roads where the army man road blocks. |
Being friends with a woman does not mean she wants sexual relations with you. I am never short of one or two close, well educated and successful female friends. Virtually all my female friends over the years have made a direct sexual move on me, which I kindly laugh off and quietly & politely reject by giving them a soft landing so they don't feel too bad. I hate to hurt their feelings However beautiful they are, once my head switches to 'friends' mode, I'm rarely attracted to my female friends. I prefer they have their own boyfriend and I have a girlfriend. Out of frustration, some have suddenly grabbed me and done things that many would consider absolutely shocking, and warranting a swift reaction. For me, I just see it as, well...that's ladies. When they want something, they'll do everything to get it. I don't hold it against them. However, a man must not try such a thing with a female friend. I would never in a million years consider it appropriate to grab a female friend & kiss her. I remember sitting in a car earlier this year, when a beautiful friend asked...can I kiss you. I was flustered as I wasn't expecting such question, and I didn't want the kiss, yet it would have felt bad (though appropriate) to say no to my friend. I said, ok. She leant over, I shut my eyes, couldn't open my lips. She went ahead but noticed I was uncomfortable. It lasted a few seconds...she stopped and was a bit stroppy. The whole thing was ridiculous We've not spoken about it since and have continued our friendship as if it didn't happen. |
Ogbuefi2020:I don't even know if Tinubu 'instigated' protest against Jonathan's attempt to remove fuel subsidy. But even if he did 10 years ago, he must never be allowed to change his mind? |
asanausana91:If Tinubu wins, I suspect is Emefiele gone, and the corruption and malpractice that'll be uncovered will bugle the mind. |
DMerciful:There is certainly a justifiable claim of marginalisation to be made here. |
MrEverest:I have no position on whether or not the Niger bridge should be tolled. However, the government has already announced that Lagos - Ibadan, Kaduna - Kano, and 4 other major roads will be concessioned and tolled. In fact the shortlisted companies have already been announced. Repairs to the roads just have to be completed first. |
If a politician is prepared to pay the right amount, some bank managers will risk their career to break the CBN rules on withdrawal. Desperate politicians will find a way around the withdrawal limit. |
Chaos14:It is good if Ibadan and Abeokuta are making progress. No need for internet fight over that. Saying that, Abeokuta is a much smaller city, and so new developments will be more easily visible, thus giving the impression that it is doing better than Lagos and Ibadan. In reality, Lagos and Ibadan are the tier 1 South West cities and are on a different level, while the likes of Abeokuta and Akure will be in tiers 2 or 3. That's not a slight on the good progress that Abeokuta is making, it's just the reality. |
Ibadan is nice, and will be even nicer in a few years if a particular project I am aware of goes ahead. Depends on the outcome of the governorship election. |
