That guy's an idiot honestly

I won't go as far as calling him stupid, but,I was genuinely shocked by the question, and to think he got likes for asking such a question...smh

Buddha3:
There's absolutely nothing childish about it. The young man asked a very relevant question.

His question may have been relevant, but, he couched it in the wrong manner. You may not understand until you lose someone (irrespective of how other people "saw" that someone, he may have meant the world to somebody).

VEHINTOLAR:
May God rest the young soul of ORISAMUYIWA !

Amen to that.

cedricksly:
I only pity for the mother and family at large honestly, nobody should have to go through that kind of loss, BUT your cousin died a Foolish Man's death and history will be quick to forget him, infact history has forgotten him because nobody knew his name, I repeat he died a Foolish man and not an hero... I was parked at Globus bank opposite Central Bank and I watched everything played out.... The police told them more than a dozen times to go back, but they kept advancing towards the police asin mob action style. Then the police opened the white gate and then came out masked fully Kitted men with assault Rifle who shot directly at them, not in the air, but directly at them. And immediately those masked men went back inside the bank, and police started doing what u were seeing of shooting in the air.... If they (your cousin) was allowed to invade the bank, that would have sent a wrong message out against the central bank being impenetrable... So your cousin got what he signed up for, I only pity the mother honestly... Those who stay around Benin can attest to the fact that sometime ago, a man was shot in his leg twice for making call by the fence of the CBN... Now the senseless riot has ended and everyone has gone to their different place of work and different life and to ur cousin lost his life for no valid reason and putting the mom through such an agony, ooh poor woman, for that pain ur cousin caused the mother, your cousin can not REST IN PEACE.. Lai Lai

I will repeat same feedback as I gave to Timoleon never mind how you tried to rationalise and window dress your opinion on the death of the young man.

You exercised extremely poor judgement in your comment. Apologise to the grieving relative and quit justifying your comment.

I will leave you with words of wisdom from Detective Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) in the classic movie Glass Onion. He was addressing a character who felt she was always picked on for being able to speak aloud what everyone else was too hypocritical, afraid or conservative to say. He said the following to her; " It's a dangerous thing to MISTAKE speaking WITHOUT THOUGHT for speaking the truth". You, my friend,with your comment, just did that.

Apologise to the relative of the dead.

Timoleon:
Why your cousin Dey in the midst of people wey Dey destroy other people business?

Hello,

Are there competent mechanics that can service the vehicle being a diesel engine?

Raychee:
Never heard of this person before. Anyway RIP Irene.

The song was phenomenal. Perfect theme for the movie Flashdance.

Do grab a copy of the flick, I assure you it won't be a waste of time.

madjune:
Indomie generation won't know her. Ever.

Even 90s kids won't.

She was huge back in the early 80s.

TV stations aired her songs regularly.

She was quite pretty on screen and in the song craft.

Very well in the league of Michael Jackson then.

The song was a hit but NEVER put her in the league of the Greatest Performer of All Time dead or alive...NEVER!

Not even then as Thriller was tearing the charts and discotheques across the world apart.

I don't know how I'm going to say this without coming off as possibly "unsupportive" or perhaps "insulting". But be rest assured I have massive respect and love for every Nigerian putting in positive and ethical work to get ahead in life.

So this is what I have to say.

Nearly every YouTube channel video I watch here is a turn-off as soon as I click on the play button.

Why?

It s not the content (far from it, most contents are very informative and entertaining). The MAJOR reason is how the Narrators SOUND!

Folks, please brush up a bit on your grammar, tone, inflection and accent. I'm not saying "form oyibo" or anything, but, please try and make your voice sound better. Some of you aside from the terrible accent sound "bored", "dead", "distracted" etc.

There are FREE courses you can take to work on your presentation voice. Before anyone attacks me saying they are just being Nigerians.. last I checked, Sulaiman Alehde (hope I got the spelling correctly) is a Nigerian Maupe, Chamberlain and a host of others are Nigerians. I'm not talking about those Radio anchors that form "oyibo" everywhere. The folks I mentioned don't "form accents" but speak in clear resounding manner. Learn how to do this and coupled with informative content, watch how your subs increase. Train your voice for presentation. Yes, you can learn it! There's a chap that post a lot of videos here...his voice sounds like unmixed gravel with an accent so irritating my ears literarily crawl off my head to prevent the continued torture.

I'm sorry if I came off as judgemental, but I just had to tell it like it is.

Nice one, keep it up!

emerged01:
Bros,we are all here to learn,he can also learn from you. Attacking is childish and uncalled for. Simply,response to him with your view on the topic.

It just baffles me the way the average Nigerian thinks as evidenced by the way folks relate, react and postulate ideas on Nairaland.

Someone sat down, exercised his intellectual capacity to think about the various economic issues bedeviling the country and was wondering why a particular theory he believes could work wasn't adopted. Now that man is a THINKER, A SOLUTION PROVIDER.

Considering the fact he understands he may not know all the aspects, twists and turns and implication of his solution, he has come here to Nairaland (a forum fast losing its relevance due to the preponderance of folks like you quoted) to sound out his opinion and hear what other "intellectuals" and "subject experts" he believes resides in the building have to say.

Rather than comment ON the topic intellectually or keep mum if they have nothing to say and LEARN, these children of perdition will always seek to attack the poster, question his sanity, insult his person, his gender, ethnicity,beliefs etc and TOTALLY ignore what the poster was about.

These are the people you say should lead the country, these are your so-called youth who want to wrest power from the current thrives we have as politicians. Let's pray we don't substitute a GREATER evil for a lesser one when folks exemplified by the one you quoted come to positions of power and authority. If Nairaland is to be the measure of how prepared the Nigerian youth is for power and responsibility, then the country is DOOMED!!!

Thanks for your feedback to he/she that posted thinking they know something whereas s/he wallows in repugnant ignorance.

Channah1:
Like someone already pointed out, you don't love her otherwise you won't count the hunch as anything.

Simple, if you don't feel comfortable around someone because of their physical flaws, don't marry them cos one day you'll get fed up and want to opt out as long as the physical attraction is not there.


Free her, let her go and find a man that will accept her like that.

QED.

You can't have it all.

Those qualities in her you mentioned is extremely rare to find together in a female. I will not go into the argument of whether she behaves that way in a bid to secure a man given her physical looks as that would be straying from the topic.

If you can't take the whole package, please let her be. Someone is in the wing, somewhere, that would love her for all she is; curved back inclusive.

rozaie:
Rumor has it that he is a fraud in disguise

It's worrying that Nigeria has gotten so bad that we accept just about anything. You, my dear, have the right to "want" what you want without anyone calling you out. You "KNOW" who you are, you know the work, pain, tears, effort, money and whatnot that you've expended in becoming the professional you are. You deserve your day in the sun, your rest and the right to a decent job. Also, others who can survive working under the conditions you described should go ahead; each to his own.

That you were being called out by others for demanding what is right (accommodation was part of the offer so yea, it was your entitlement...for those who don't know, be educated) is totally wrong. It just goes to show you how severely broken in spirit the average Nigerian youth is-willing to take any crumb thrown at him from the largess or so called benevolence of a master who is NOTHING without him.

Kudos to a certain poster with the Asour handle. He was so onpoint about the symbiotic relationship between the employer and the employee. Sadly, this isn't the case in Nigeria.

Don't lose sleep over the issue. You're definitely in a better place.

GardenGreen:
I've been paying atleast 15 person's salaries since five years every month. Running into atleast a million a month

Raked my first ten m over ten years back


Currently managing a ten digits enterprise and engaging atleast 10 workforce in one enterprise while I manage another enterprise with 15 workforce


You're not in my league. When it comes to business setup, management, company running and execution. I'm your god

I've been following your post and retorts to others from Page One.

I don't think you're a nice Boss. Not because of the topic, but, the views you hold about labour as garnered from your posts, are if anything, in my opinion, too inflexible. I am basing my views about your entrepreneurial personality strictly on your comebacks on the topic. You seem to be so emotional with your arguments and it detracts from the points embedded therein.

It's kind of funny because, you, the "boss" now sound like the one 'entitled' and not the 'employee'. A "'take it or leave it" scenario has NEVER augured well for any party in the history of human relations irrespective of the level of negotiation or interaction. I could go on and on but, I'd rather rest my case.

Finally...

The die is cast.

KristaPretty:
I think to each his own

Women also have standards, allow men have

No woman wants a broke man now, but the broke women feel they can still be jobless and deserve to be with a rich man

If a man sets his standards, don't cry. Set your standards too!!!

Life is really not as hard as we make it and I think this post wasn't necessary

For every standard set, there are a million and one people willing to meet up to that, men or women

Regards

QED.

blazhykowskyi:
Boris was a migrant.

Maybe I should have included the "class" of migrants in my post. By definition, a Caucasian from Sweden naturalized in the UK is a migrant...but, he's "white", seen as an equal in race and possibly ancestory (greater Europe). An Indian? not quite so the case.

NwaNimo1:
Indian go win.....

[img]https://giffiles./216/216380.gif[/img]

Seriously doubt that.

Never minding public posturing, that country seems deep-rooted in nationalistic aristocracy to allow an "Indian" irrespective of how "anglicised" to be the No1. political figure in the UK (the Queen is ceremonial and I believe still smarting from her grandson going rogue in his choice of wife).

They could be fine with migrants occupying less powerful seats, but, 10 Downing Street? huh huh...( and no, there is no comparison here with America and Obama).

nighter:
And no one's saying anything about the fact that Op called his mother a bitch?

Beats my imagination!

cococandy:
Who is bitches?

Quite surprised that the ladies didn't pick up on that shade to their gender. Many a respectable lady (especially in the West) would have called this out or boycotted the thread altogether in protest.

Subtly and subconsciously, the average Nigerian lady is getting used to being touted as a strumpet, irresponsible money-chaser and a homewrecker. The reaction of the majority of ladies who have reacted to this thread is evidence of this statement (negligible amount of female respondents called out the OP on referring to his girlfriend's as bitches, such a shame!).

May catch flake from both genders for this post, but, that bothers me none. The truth is eternal.

Amotolongbo:
Only an insecure and lazy man would reason like that.

A working wife should bring two things to a reasonable man;

1 financial support in the home
2 [/b]A challenge and motivation for a man to work harder to increase his source and level of income[b]


I understand that kind of man won’t like to marry an intelligent lady cos he won’t be able to handle her and think she may be egoistic but a “sit-down-there” kinda woman.

This kinda man will spend all his last kobo on his daughter(s) to be successful in life and be happy that a man isn’t allowing her to utilise the potential she has?

Moreover, don’t some men think of what their daughter(s) will inherit from their mothers after turning their wives to a dummy.

The highlited; therein lies the problem.

That motivation never minding how well intended can NEVER be construed as such by the man (even if he, in self deceit thinks so).. A subtle "competition" now exists irrespective of how the couple try to gloss it over and it takes an expert at emotional intelligence (a skill sorely lacking in the majority of humans moreso couples) to be able to manage this marital situation. It is just a matter of time, the "insecurity_ in the man and the "challenger" in the woman would best their efforts at love, civility and subconscious pretence. All it takes is one word spoken in anger, just one ,and, the whole charade crumbles.

Just a matter of time...
