"If you die, Nigeria will not feed me", my wife said.

But as a patriotic Nigerian, I insisted I must put it to test. I don't believe Nigerians are that carefree.

So I asked my three Igbo neighbours what my name was. We laughed over it as I got no reasonable answer from any one of them.

I went to my Yoruba neighbours living in clusters in the next compound and asked what my name was. The best I got was 'Uncle'

I'ld have asked the Northerner but I guess as he was busy mixing cement and sand to hustle up his daily bread, he may not be willing to entertain my request.

So I went back home and played all day long with my kids.

Until Nigerian elections become risk-free, this is me every election day.

The discrepancy between the writings of the name and the body stands out like a sore thumb.
If someone else wrote his name for him, the person who wrote the body is likely suffering from mongoloid idiocy.

Coming from a state that only paid me 4k our of 60k after my service year.

There is only one Zlatan.. Ibra

yinka10:
However, the court refused prayers 3 to 5 which sort scanning and forensic audit. Stating that a forensic audit does not fall under the terms envisaged by section 151 of the electoral act.

What does this imply?
I thought the reason for handing over is to inspect the veracity of information logged on the devices against the figures posted by INEC.

This is looking like an attempt to stifle the assessment.

Just minutes ago, was telling some of my protegés of how rottweilers tend to attack even their owners at times and are not really advisable to be kept in a compound with much movements around

Bullion van coming to my house on election's eve, and I think there can't be anything wrong with it?
However genuine his intentions may be, his timing was wrong.

OneCorner:
Who cares

Oh.. You shouldn't have let the hair dye cover your face too

badadvice:
you no dey ever see "yansh topic" make you throwey face.

How can you say this?
A nyash thread without his comment is like a snake thread without lala being mentioned

9jaArea:
Mama gold is a 100% Nigerian rice planted, processed and packaged in Nigeria. There are other brands in the Matket that are Nigerian made.

You don't mean it??

But it's being marketed as foreign rice..

otokx:
The bag of rice in my house is from kebbi state ~ full of sand and a few stones, it swells fast. Eating is not inspiring but oh well we are tightening our belt.

On the sand/stone part; it's something we can definitelt improve on so long as it is heavily patronized. My main concern is that I've not even seen one to buy, as foreign rice is getting as expensive as

Oshey!!
Up Naija.. Baddest rice producer!!

Reality Check:
Click Like if you still buy foreign rice.
Click Share if you have never seen sacks of this our Naija rice in your local markets.
Quote if you see and eat them anywhere here in Nigeria

Newly used

I guess the opposite of that would be ...?

Ain't that like a Nigerian thing?

Stew first before rice nah

This is what happens when a format goes wrong and the formatter gets formatted

That if you kept standing while eating, the food will go straight down to your anus

Admit it, we even told our friends this

spacofadan:
She needed a job that is challenging. She also believe she can surmount them. But with Miss Pepeye, there was little or no challenge at all so she resigned. You are probably the complicated guy whose only job is finding loopholes in people's life

See me here wondering how a comical grammatical banter translates to locating loop holes in people's life

I remember sharing my story of how my dogs did something similar and a few number of people found it incredulous sha

Aunty has been waiting a loooooong time

Only you say 'I left the role because it is no longer challenging'

Only you still say 'There are really no challenges I can't surmount'

Nigerians are complicated people

Hit.. not Hits.
That is past tense.

I do wish however, that our economy moves on from progress on paper. Amen

fk002:
Will you stop generalising.



Have you ever been to the North or you are just assuming? Stop placing your judgment base on hearsay.

Lol.. Hearsay?
Okay. Since you've chosen to play possum, lets leave it at that

fk002:
Southerners really baffles me especially the south Easterners bigotry has really blinded alot of folks down there.


If a Northerner can't read and write what's your own in it? Why do you choose to cry more than the bereaved?

The costs of illiteracy are deceptively far-reaching. Illiteracy limits people in developing countries and inner cities, stifles opportunities for innovation and dampens the economic potential of hundreds of millions. Reading and writing are essential skills for economic mobility.
In a developed country like America with much reduced illiteracy levels, “$225 billion lost annually … because of unemployment, lack of workplace productivity and crime.”
Why am I crying more than the bereaved? Because they are ruining our sincere efforts to get Nigeria working and they are too illiterate to realise that.

Here you are advertising yourself on Nairaland for the world to see. How many of your brethrens can even open a Nairaland account on their own?

Here you are describing in words what you feel would be necessary for the world to know, how many of your brethrens are actually educated enough to do that?

Here you are telling us how you studiously stuck to religion for morals, relegating Western education to the background. Pray tell, why are we having this post in Western English and not Arabic?

Here you are debasing money rituals, prostitution, scammers, e.t.c. all of which lead to people's demise when deep within some of your ilks lurks a violent streak that brings quick and violent demise to people all the same.

Here you are degrading people for choosing not to die from Nigeria's violent elections by staying away; berating people for not doing things they do not have faith in where virtually everything you do is guided by your faith, and that includes how you even pee.

Here you are praising the exponential rate at which your people reproduce; children who get breasts snatched away from their tender mouths because another is on the way; who are pre-destined to end up living on the streets and fending off the pocket change of those who breed wisely.

Here you are insulting a person for preferring to wait until 40 instead of to bring a child into the world to suffer.. I have to ask..is that a man's birthright?

Here you are celebrating your 99% virgin brides. Why won't girls who are barely aged 10 when they are married off not be virgins?

Here you are indicting us for calling you all almajiris and street beggars, but what different does your voting power make to you all when every year, after flexing the muscles, you still return to the same old dingy corner on the same old dingy lane, feeding off the same old dingy alms?

Here you are actually complaining against us for insulting you and your ilks on Facebook and Twitter..those are Western inventions. How did the 'religious' manage to be frolicking on them so as to come across the insults? How did even those who can't recognize a six-letter word actually read it? Someine has been spreading propaganda in their native tongue.

Here you are telling the joyous tale of how you promote peace and unity in Nigeria. Fulani Herdsmen are Northerners killing Northerners. Boko Haram are Northerners killing Northerners. Even the recent riot at Ojo after elections involved the Police and guess who? You are right. Northerners.

You are a proud Almajiri and abok¡ you said.
On that, I agree. You are absolutely correct. #NotCopied. I do my own thinking.

It's official.
Madness now plays a role in who becomes Nigerian President.

GameKartel:
you are wrong about Virgo, that's my sign - they are when truly in love very devoted, honest and loyal men. as an earth and mutable sign they can be too picky about deciding who to date, sometimes pessimistic about their future with that person. let it be known that in any relationship or marriage a virgo man would feel guilty if he and his partner are not in sync or on speaking terms with eachother and would try to make amend even if she was the one at fault.

Your babe needs this information, you know, hardly us

Corrinthians:
Did anyone ask you guys? Your sons and daughters are acting in ways that could precipitate very negative consequences, and rather than call them to order, you are busy securing your ego.

I would think for one who just secured a massive victory in his life, you'ld be more occupied with repositioning yourself to reap maximum benefits instead being so bothered about the tribe you so gloriously defeated.

Did anyone ask you guys to regret working against him?

I'm certain no one asked your opinion on their press release, but here you are giving it with full vitriol

It is such a shame seeing how elders have chosen to remain aloof in the midst of such glaring display of waywardness by their kith and kin.

Get used to the fact that we have a united mindset with our leaders; and that's because unlike certain settings in Nigeria, a group pf men do not dictate for the majority. Rather, the majority dictates the path the leaders take. Let that sink in deep.

You people should be deeply worried that most other Nigerians are now coming to identify your tribe with the word HATE. That is truly troubling. You should act now before it becomes too late.

By other Nigerians you mean the Buhari-lovers right? Fat chance 'we-people' see them as mentally okay after the past four years . People killing themselves and restricting progress to the selected few actually giving us lessons on being the ones identified with 'LOVE'

Apex Igbo Organization?
I laugh.
Blind ignorance doth mislead thee.
An apex organization that doesn't even hold sway over all her people..what then makes it 'apex'?
Journalists should spend more time studying igbo political culture to understand that all man is a king unto himself.
Even IPOB that has far more grassroot political influence than Ohaneze still can't make all Igbos do their bidding.
The Ohaneze understood their mistake when they allegedly endorsed Buhari earlier and got severe backlash from Igbos. So, they simply did the wish of the people; became Atikulated.

One thing for sure though is that this disdain towards the Northerners will soon wane. It is against human nature to be repeatedly callous towards an entire class of people. However, it is still fresh, how they colluded to retain this disaster of a leadership with their ill-advised voting. A riot instigated by their ilks in my locality a few days back is a pointer to the role they played.
They really need mental and psychological emancipation. They can't keep being stup¡d and expect others to keep helping them scale the rewards. I have already decided that for the time being, the purewater sellers get my goodwill from now on. It looks a better investment.

Xisnin:
You should be banned for spreading fake news that is capable of inciting violence.

With the way you're obviously not using your brain, you're probably hoping to sell it as brand new. Keep It up

In a nutshell, the Abokis that populate Alaba Rago and Okoko decided to go on a celebration rampage, spraying powder, ink and water all over.
However the citizens didn't find it funny and made that verbally known. Somehow, the police intervened to restore order and in the resulting meleé, an aboki got run down. The aboki unveiled their typical streak and went on a demolition spree or riot if you will. It is rumoured that a police officer lost his life, the DPO was quite wounded and the police station got damaged.

Our main concern was for the returning school kids; which of course, the abokis would know little about. The entire stretch of tarred road from LASU to Igbo Elerin junction and even towards Corner was avoided from 12pm until 3pm/4pm
