Excuses for reckless financial behaviour and all whatnot are all I see.

Noodles, straight up! Too many artificial ingredients anyway in that stuff

Sadly, we have now accepted this not apologizing even when wrong by fathers as the norm. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt by saying they probably didn't know better. They could only do as their fathers before them did and they learned from those ones, breeding a whole generation of maladjusted fathers who felt masculinity was best demonstrated by not admitting when you're wrong and always insisting on being right even dead wrong and always trying to justify and twist the narrative to favour them. This has led to our generation being ok with being in abusive relationships, being overly subservient, lacking assertiveness and being unable to stand up for what is right. Some of us even repeat the same pattern of never apologizing when we offend people. That's why we have a maladjusted society that looks to God to solve problems that they can even when they have the tools to solve those problems personally. After all, it's never their fault but someone else's. Believe me, all join.

Really nice story. Refreshing.

The article makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, we've been burdened with a political class that is mentally retarded and deeply short-sighted. Governance shouldn't be an all-comers affair. Only people with the requisite brain power (not degrees) should be at the helm of affairs planning an exit of our economy from consumer mode to production and service mode. This burden of debt will not be paid by those currently in power they'll leave it for the future generations. Our collective stupidity and myopia as a people is laughable...

Festacman, your post is quite incisive and unfortunately true. The saddest part about this thread is the number of people viewing it.

The problem of open and poorly constructed/connected drainage systems is not peculiar to Lagos but to all of Nigeria. It is dangerous, unsightly and shows a lack of foresight on the part of government urban planners. I have always been particularly disturbed by our collective nonchalance toward issues pertaining to proper and efficient waste and sewage disposal. I continue to weep for my people.

Why don't you look up jersey dress before talking?

My thoughts exactly!

La La Land, 300, Up!(animation), The Champ, The Illusionist, Ghost, Les Misérables, The Thomas Crown Affair, Now you see me, Inside Out(animation)

This is a fundamental part of our collective mentality. How can anyone in their right minds equate wealth to greatness? Greatness goes way beyond physical possessions and money. It's a whole mindset.

Just collect 5k form money from all this one's before the show starts they would have made their money.

Your head dey dere. At 5000 per head, 10000 peeps= 50 million. Just like that.

Your opinions are interesting, especially concerning the musical TGS. I haven't seen too many movies in my life but I try. I find that, in order to appreciate the film industry worldwide better, it pays to look at its evolution. Watching icons like Westside story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Casablanca, Taxi Driver, The Champ, The Usual Suspects,The Green Mile, Goodfellas, The Godfather, Gladiator, Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Up, Toy Story, Inside Out,Braveheart, Saving Private Ryan,Remember the Titans, 300,Ghost, The Rainman, Citizen Kane, Léon the Professional and a host of others (ok, maybe not all of them are so old and there are some pretty good animation movies too) just to mention a few gives you many mixed emotions. They may not all be that great but the storytelling and acting and dialogue are usually top-notch. The scores in these movies too and how they are used to great effect is simply wonderful. When you see how the industry has evolved over the decades and you still enjoy performances from actors long gone, you understand that Nollywood still has a lot to do.

Movies are usually a thing of personal preference. Even at that, a great movie regardless of genre is always a thing of joy to watch.

Greatness is a relative concept not a definitive one. Starting out to 'do something' and be 'great' can and often does happen especially in sports and music and very little else. As you may agree, milestones and achievements in sports and music are personal in nature and tend not to have a national hue. Now greatness can come from self-discovery. When you fully and completely understand yourself you would have transcended the need to be great. It is when you fully know yourself that you will be able to share the best of that self with the society and as such attain true greatness.

I'm not surprised that I find this statement both funny and sad at the same time. What a president! What a country!

The inherent stupidity behind this mind-boggling decision is as confusing as it is tragic. People own cattle and sell them in exchange for money which they do not account for nor pay tax on yet the government with all the 'erudite','lettered','distinguished' men and advisers there think the only solution to the wanton destruction of property and waste of human lives among other acts of severe brutality is to give them the land for a mere pittance. This stance will encourage those with arms as it seems the govt. only listens and answers when you are armed and unapologetically violent!

Pretty cool. Home boy has found love and it's a beautiful thing. Ya'll just need to chill on that hurtful rhetoric, it's rather unnecessary...

This is a rather interesting post and some of the comments show that all hope is not lost for us as a people. By us, I mean black people. A lot of thought, time and effort were put into creating the post and it is highly commendable.
