honestly speaking, our leaders are so useless and heartless that the best word to qualify them can't be found in the dictionary.

I was in ekiti State last week, what I saw there is mind blowing. The state capital is so under developed that one would wonder it has a government. The whole place being littered with mud boys quarters in the name of house.

most of the storey buildings there are mud. Even the market that was demolished last week because of the new one built by the state government, I couldn't sight a single cement block there. it was mud all through.

I was wondering if the state government banned maruwa (tricycle), because through out my 7 days there, I only saw one private keke

Ekiti still has long ways to go

you just said trash, is it a must for maruwa to be in a place? Ekiti was created in 1999, you probably visited a friend living in the slum

it happens, no be every girl money dey shack o

mine was breaking bounds and beating juniors, I was suspended a lot then and I was also good in mathematics

Ok sis let me explain why I do not agree with your conclusions:


The practice of paying for the bride price is erroneously misconstrued as such a dehumanizing practice to women, especially from a Western point of view. Parents perceive that their daughters are being maltreated by wicked husbands on the excuse that they have been paid for, like a “commodity”.

And while many blame this derision on families that take advantage of the Bride Price to make outrageous demands, others believe that how a man treats his woman may not necessarily depend on whether or not he paid her Bride Price, but greatly on his personality.

Saying men maltreat their wives because they paid their Bride Price is like saying the expensive diamond engagement rings also produce women-beaters in the West.

For the christians amongst us, in the Bible Jacob served 14 years as a Price to marry Rachel; a “Bride Service” that portrayed the value he placed on her – which is what the token called Bride Price is all about.

In this modern era, it appears many are not aware that the Bride Price serves to protect the marriage from dissolution. It is NOT degrading to women and does not reduce them to slaves; not in any way tantamount to making a man feel like a slave master who owns a slave he has paid for. In actual fact, Bride Price is an instrument to ratify a marriage. It is one of the highest honours confirming a bride’s value and womanhood; giving a husband the full rights to the sexual, economic, or procreative powers of his wife. It fosters a friendly relationship between the two families; providing a material pledge that the woman and her children will be well treated and a level of compensation to her family for the loss of her company and labour.

No amount of money can buy a wife; her value is inestimable in human terms.

No man can pay for all the input of those who raised a good woman and all the benefits she brings; her love, care, help and companionship far outweigh any monetary value. A Bride Price is a humble demonstration of appreciation, honour and respect to the bride’s family for all the work they put into raising/training “this” gift from God and returning it seems utterly disrespectful to the groom and his entire family.

There are no few good men, rather there still are a lot of good men. It's just so unfortunate some women end up with the bad ones. My 2 cents

I support you, the bride will have to leave her parent's house and they will take it (B.P) as a form of consolation since they will miss the care and labour of the lady since in old times, most men lived in their father's compound. In india where women pay dowry, they are still being made to suffer, worse than nigerian women are suffering.

marry her if she can promise that she won't be a chronic lesbian after marriage, there is nothing bad in it if she is bisexual, but not the one that will be feeling somehow if she's not bleeped a girl in a month. spice up your sexlife with party na, you will enjoy it

lol, most of big teams players don't even give relevance to it, na shirt maker dey pay them big money and the cloth dey plenty, you can even use three in a match, na your problem

david2:
The reason they have regreted it is becos if their belief, what u believe will definitely work for u

who will marry a lady when you believe you will regret it?

donstan18:
Sorry for not being specific, I meant being emotional traumatized and bothered about the bad fare of your kids.

You know mothers naturally makes theirs, obvious to you than fathers, but deep down, fathers are more bothered.

very true, fathers like to act tough, they will be very weak but they will still act strong

also fathers are less likely to be closer to their kids cos of stress, after working thru out the day, they prefer to rest other than chatting with their kids

fathers that are less busy are closer to their children than those that are always busy

you can move in if you have studyour boyfriend well, he may turn you to a housemaid and make you do chores. he may also love you fery much and feel there is nothing bad if you have a live in relationship but make sure your parents know the man and the relationship is very serious, it will save both of you some good money.

don't mind those saying bride price, if your parents agree, move in since they are the ones that will collect the price you may also not be igbo so don't think about bride price. you will also use that avenue to pester him and once he sees the qualities of a good wife in you

maybe because of their upbringing, they see most usual things as unusual so when they get a chance to do it, they take it to the extreme

e.g, my friend whose father is a pastor started drinking a lotbecause when he first tasted alcohol, he felt it was nice, the late exposure made him crave for more, when his eyes widened, it was too much because he saw alcohol as something too big cos of his father's teaching and he wanted to feel like a big boy
but me, I have been tasting alcohol since I was little, I don't see it as a big deal so it doesn't freak me

david2:
It is o, this will tell u that our mentality in Nigeria is still backward

there is nothing about backwardness in it, it happens everywhere, even in america, some will say it clearly that they cant marry a black, latino or asian.

for me, I can't marry a girl from edo state because of my family history, everyone that has married from edo in may family has always regretted it, I have to open my eyes well and not allow same thing to happen to me.

I am not saying edo people are bad o cos my best friend is from edo but maybe there is no compatibility.

igbos are always scared, ojukwu ran away from nigeria after the civil war, nnamdi kanu is also gone, yoruba will stand by their people even in the face of death, an example is adekunle fajuyi.

igbos are very fraudulent, an average igbo man thinks of swindling his partner, igbos can't be trusted with money

you all will continue to suffer in nigeria because of the coup you guys did over 50 years ago while zik was on medical leave in the carribean! carribean has never been known as a medical superpower.

asslicking igbos

op is right, the army can't take kanu away without anyone noticing, they came with force, you can't take away a man with much following like kanu with force and people won't know
secondly, his family members reaction betrays the assumption that kanu was taken away by the army, your family member can't be taken away and you won't be crying and protesting, his family members are not even disturbing the government

to me though, I think kanu was advised to run away from Nigeria or risk being killed

chinjo:
I see Tinubu's acceptance of this appointment as his last joker. If not, he knows it is not the place of the president to appoint him to reconcile aggrieved party members but that of the national chairman of the party. Tinubu certainly has something up his sleeves.

since tinubu played a huge role in the emergence of buhari, the success of APC is also the success of tinubu, he has to do everything in his capacity to make APC the ruling party come 2019

the president of the nation is the natural leader of his party, he can appoint a conflict resolution committee, even ordinary members can form a committee to resolve indifferences

I believe this op is an igbo

he is saddened by the fact that tinubu sent out his preferred candidate, goodluck Jonathan, in 2015

you think tinubu is a fool but geniuses respect him, I guess you are the fool then

I Hve never seen the girl in a movie, she no dey do modern nollywood movies

passyhansome:
Earns #500,000 per movie at 16, She is made for life.......

be fooling yourself you here

500k per movie for naija, iffa here

na dem asaba movie she dey do sef

acting is not profitable in Nigeria, that is why some actors will be begging for 10m for treatment


if you check well on instagram, only the female actors drive g-wagon, range rover, wear expensive gucci clothes and travel around the world, the male actors don't because the ladies dey do runs join acting

lol no be she get, she rent e sure me die. she no get the money expect sey she dey do olosho

actresses don dey compete, when iyabo ojo do 40th birthday, mercy aigbe show am sey she get levels, omotola sef show sey she get levels pass mercy aigbe.


this is too much, 40th, not even 50th, maybe na her sugar daddy sponsor am

why are you guys being tribalistic na, the comparism is perfect, he even ask guys to add more, you can't create a perfect thread, meanwhile south west universities are the best in nigeria.

unilorin - barcelona

they have been existing for quite sometime until a man came and changed them to big and respected teams, ishaq oloyede changed unilorin to a great team, pep guardiola changed barcelona to one of the most feared teams in the world

same thing I am saying, why is it like that, after good showings, they turn poor, why can't they be consistent like their european counterparts?

omeruo is just being called up to make the squad full, how many matches has he played for nigeria since rohr became coach?

kingphilip:
Let's start from the so called best players in 2014 world cup that deserved a call up and haven't gotten any you mentioned.


Who are they?

efe ambrose, omeruo, babatunde, oshaniwa

why is it that players don't last long with the super eagles, much of the players that reached WC 2014 final are still the regulars for their countries but the case with nigeria is different, of the 11 players that started against zambia(game that qualified us for WC), only three players( mikel obi, victor moses and onazi ogenyi) played in the 2014 WC. Players that did well in 2014 WC are nowhere near call up to the national team.

another question is that why are nigerian players so inconsistent, they shine for 2 seasons consecutively and they are in oblivion two years after. we have won 5 u17 world cups but we have never made it to the quarter final of the senior world cup, why, what is wrong with our players? the nigerian plauers that faced argentina in the Olympics in 2004 are not relevant again, the likes of kroos, david de gea and isco have gone from u17 WC participation to being in arguments for the best player in their respective positions?

what do you guys think the problem is?

naija footballers no go kill me, kenneth omeruo don propose at 23! moses simon don marry at 23! Onazi sef don marry at 24! na lie go kill our players, after dem don reach 30, na rubbish dem dey play

this mark is a fool, he girl claimed cdq did bad things to her and cdq cleared his name that nothing happened between them apart from a night stand. People like this make men look like beast,you don't even know the truth of the matter wheter cdq or khloe is saying the truth, you just abused him. Khloe could wanted to drag cdq's name in the mud, he had to do something real quick. Don't engage in a night stand if you don't want to be abused with it. you are just be tribalistic of you want some cheap attention

I saw a post about bad girls getting married faster than good girls, I decided to write on it, the reasons include but not limited to these four

1: Preferences; Bad girls like we all know love money, they believe in money not in love, the qualities they require from a suitor is money and maybe fine face. Good girls on the other hand think about other things like relationship with God, age, divorced or not divorced, responsibility and other things. Bad girls will marry a rich man that is violent, does drug and irresponsible. Bad girls think all men are bad, you just have to find a manageable one while good girls believe they can get a perfect man.

2: Options; Bad girls are socially active, they get proposals on social media, they meet suitors in clubs, parties and other gatherings like church services. Good girls get limited proposals because they are not socially active and their response to greetings are awkward, it pushes men away when a greeting is awkwardly replied, they don't go to clubs, leave social gatherings immediately it ends and their posts on different social media platforms are not suitable enough for men to think about proposal.
you no fit see girl wey dey post confirm photos make you dey toast the one wey dey post quotes.

3: Juju; This is actually funny but a lot of girls entrap men with charms, some people even sell these charms on instagram, when bad girls are dating a rich man, they enchant him and make him love them even if he has to hate his family and friends. Good girls don't do that, they wait for God to provide them with a good husband.

4: Pregnancy; It is a known fact that girls force men to marry them with pregnancy, they will intentionally get their boyfriend to have sex with them when they know they can concieve and also not use contraceptives, some will even say that they don't give birth out of wedlock in their lineage. Good girls even abort suprise pregnancies because of stigma. They don't have the guts to tie a man down with pregnancy because they think it is shameless


To round this up, getting married is no big deal, being happy in marriage is the big deal.

it is a lie that bad girls are getting married faster than good girls, people think so because there is always more attention on the bad girls, they have plenty instagram followers, they are instagram conscious( they must post all their existence on instagram) and it is also shocking to most people. when you see the baddest girl of your set getting married, you become suprised because you always thought that she would marry late but you won't be suprised if you see the mummy girl of your set getting married because you think it was bound to happen, you start spreading the gist of the bad girl because it is suprising.


also, there are more good girls than bad girls so when the bad girls get married and some good girls are not, it seems that they are getting married faster but It is not so.


most also marry because of pregnancy
