Oya post it now.

Maria, come and explain it o.

I have made moimoi with ripe plantain and beans.
Don't even know how it happened but we ate all.

armyofone:
It is moi moi made from green plantain with a mix of some ripped plantain. Memories of my childhood visit to the village.
I know the ingredients consisted of green plantain flour, ripped plantain, pepper, crayfish and other ingredients to make moimoi etc

Is that sweet?
Cos I'm interested
You know we love sweet things

armyofone:
You train the belle. Salad n meat, or chicken or tuna is filling. The energy from salad is enough to gyming and jogging.

Just need getting use it. Eating is mindset and psychological.

100% psychological.

We are conditioned to eat big meal from childhood and since all we eat is carbohydrate,we have concluded that it's either big carb or nothing.
And eating large equals better life and more energy.
Carbs are sugar. Sugar is more addictive than hard drugs and alcohol .
Then the stereotype that a man and woman must have flesh. Flesh to wear naija big man and woman clothes

armyofone:
Have you ever tried ukpo ogede ?

I have heard that name somewhere.
What is that biko?
Ogede is plantain for sure

fuckingAyaya:

Are they mortal enemies?

Interesting

darkwan:

nairalanda1:
Training that would be of use when the time comes

Will they b sent for training?


A retired Nigerian general from one of the eastern States has 2 sons, one joined the military through their secondary school, the other want to genuinely be a soldier but was born abroad. The one born abroad travelled to the country he was born and joined their military. The other studied a course that is not needed in Nigerian Army and left.
The grudge of these gentlemen is they don't want to pass through what their father passed through in the hands of Nigerian army. They were born and brought up in the system but hated the system due to high level of marginalisation. The time that man became a general, Nigerian army had no choice but to promote him and that was towards retirement. Not up to 6 months,he was retired.
Why join something that treats you like trash.

As years go by, more and more people from the east lost interest in these cos they don't give them equal opportunities like they give others and their kit and kin in the system are being treated unfairly.

Mccollins042:
Nigerian Army sends 1000 soldiers to sambisa to fight BH: 800 from SE, 80 from SW, 100 from SS, 20 from the entire north

Nigerian army sends 500 soldiers to the US on a special training:
150 from NW, 100 from NE, 70 from NC, 70 from SW, 50 from SE, 60 from SS.

You aptly summarised it.

Nothing more to add

Mindlog:
It truly does not make sense.

What will an Igbo young man or woman benefit from joining the Nigerian army?

How much is the pay?

What is the realistic career progression like?

How will he be better off than his kinsman who focused on learning a trade or craft?

Who wants to sacrifice sons that will be sent to go fight terrorists and bandits, while politicians and their fronts are making money from the insecurity, their own children living comfortably abroad?

Had a relative who signified interest last year, to join the Army as a recruit. I discouraged him, got him enrolled for apprenticeship in shoe making in Aba and assured him that at the end of his apprenticeship, I will help him set up his own.

Do you know how many reached the rank of general before ihejirika and Jonathan?
That was why there was a massive outcry against them cos they tried to balance the qouta. Eventually, they were sent packing. And when posting to departments, .....see, I have a lot to say about the Nigerian service force. They should stop sending political court here

There was a time a whole imo state has one general.
Promotion is zero. Even those that were sent to represent ecomog, their money miss road.

nairalanda1:
2014 again

One reason why I say that tinubu is just doing what his predecessors did, and why we have never had good leaders in Nigeria....is the simple fact that all of them have run resource dependent economies.

I have been on Awo's case for some time...Awo, and his fellow premiers Bello and Azikiwe, all of them had one thing in common...they used the funds from the resources they sold to 'develop' their regions.

There is nothing wrong with that. The problem was that it essentially made our economies dependent on price controls from oversease. Cotton, cocoa, palm oil, etc...their prices are set abroad. Not set by us. It also meant that when oil came along, we were in the perfect position to fall into its trap.

Today, our economy is 80% dependent on oil. Yes, it is. 80% of our revenues come from oil. And when oil prices are high, things look good, when they fall, things look bad. But the truth is, they have been bad...all the time.

One thing I would like to tell Nigerians is that, until you are ready to vote for a government that would use what we have to develop stuff the world needs, you will never have good governance.

Harsh truth, but will mouths that have been feeding off this allow that to happen?

budaatum:
I've gone there already. Deal with it or move on. Your opinion of me is irrelevant. The person I quoted knows or should know my intent, which is, he doesn't know what he's talking about or thinks his gaslight works on me.

In all foreign discussion thread like this, there is a gentleman agreement people follow. I don't cancel people but I cancel tribalists cos I lump them with terrorists.
They are worst than terrorists in my dictionary.
Dance along.

cococandy:
Say what you will about Newsom but he cares for Californians and goes to bat for us. We don’t worship him and we don’t agree 100% with everything he does. But that’s the marking of a democracy not a cult worshiping system.

People forget that during Covid, he bypassed the federal government to get our hospital workers N95 masks.
Donated ventilators to other states (including red ones) while their governors were busy scratching their heads and propagandizing a disease outbreak.

Largest economy in the USA and 5th in the world for a reason

California can as well opt out of America and become their own country since they are very rich to go against what benefits their country cos the president is a republican and Trump.


Sometimes one wonder the type of federalism America practices.
Let us oppose for opposition sake.

bemeruca:
He and his brother talking about mama. Cringe shit.

Wish her luck.
Her popularity will be tested there. Never her fan.
Would have been if she don't have any connection with Obama.

budaatum:
Please say Nigerian Army is prioritising South Easterners.

https://www.nairaland.com/8396363/nigerian-army-worries-south-east#134952292

Don't go there, I have not seen anybody from both sides do that here.

You want to do that, exclusive Nigerian only threads are everywhere.
That's too low of you and I don't know what your intents are.

bemeruca:
You don't know that.
Michael couldn't get people to watch his podcast.

What's her podcast all about

Newton1045:
I agree with you. He's apologising profusely. Let be kind

Cos he apologised?
Let's flip it?
Will you be kind if it's the lady?

pocohantas:
Hahaha. About his new moniker?
I was just telling Coco yesterday that they are oldies. Not juveniles as she thinks. They simply rebrand when one moniker casts. I don't know why they do that. The females they attack are still standing strong on their known monikers. So what are they running from? 😂😂

Maybe, they believe with new moniker everything will be new like naija police trying to re-brand with new uniform that time

How una dey abeg.

Nairaland matter no dey end.

pocohantas:
Malignantguest aka Apoptosis is married to a Nigerian woman who most likely moved abroad before him. His wife cooks everything including abacha for him in America, but he comes online to paint Nigerian women abroad bad. Very sly double-faced human. You can never see him say one good thing about marriage. Never.

Tell me about it.
No wonder. Something is so off with that guy.
I remember when he was bursted here

.

That man look like Zubby Michael.

Na so one man invited his so called cousin abroad with the help of bettering her lifeforms wifey to know na ex girlfriend he reconciled with.
Thanks to her family who investigated.

bemeruca:
Nice lie.

8 yrs of Clinton followed by 8 yrs of Obama,then 4 yrs of trump,4 yrs of Biden and republican clash the economy for democrats to build each time.

So easy to believe this beautiful lie.

cococandy:
A Tale as old as time.

Republicans ruin the economy catering to the billionaires at the expense of the general public.

Democrats come in when everyone finally comes to their senses and fix it. Like clockwork.

Haba!

Funfact and you took it serious. Funfacts are generated for fun. Never to be taken serious.
I can say I trekked from onitsha to lagos crossing 7 oceans and seas. That's a fun fact. Or my greatgrandfather was a professor of oratory in 1920

raumdeuter:
That is why I am saying the No death sentence law does not make sense to me in certain cases, especially mass murderers like the ones we have been talking about

Yobe governor is going to reintegrate killers back to the society as repentant bokoharam.
Victims of their atrocities should go and die.

That is the Nigeria we are practicing.
Guys that should face firing squad.

See punishments

Whoever inveted these are wicked

And he accepted?

People no dey reject political appointment for this country ba?

Antoeni:
Make Una Help Me Check Something

They don't have any iota of resemblance.

budaatum:
I personally play only 2 games, chess and City:Skylines, (been pretty disappointed with 2), while my nephew has so much going on while we try to distract him from games. He is into chess, and makes youtube videos, and we might get him carting soon.

I just wouldn't use Prime enough to get my monies worth, I think.

Is that your nephew Ben?

What kind of videos does he make?

basilico:
In Africa we had the whole sky for water and whole forests for toilets.

And covid did not finish us too

Africa man defied covid.
Still a mystery
