XhosaNostra: Staged. Unless the guy has been bewitched, I don't see how any self-respecting man would allow himself to become whatever that is. As a woman, I'd feel very uncomfortable watching a man (my man) do all the housework, while I'm sitting on my ass eating bonbons all day. In my own household I prefer to do all the housework, because I do it better
It's actually a syndrome called "mumuity".
Usually afflicts the man. It is however non infectious. Weird thing is: only third parties (friends, parents, neighbours et al) can see it's manifestation in the man.
Young, rich, urbane and upward mobile men with vast network of friends; who work late; go on frequent business trips; attend social functions without the madam; who are forgetful or can't get their stories right are its victim.
Mumuity is rampant among African men especially Nigerians.
Presently there is no cure for it, faithfulness to the madam has been known to reduce the incidence.
exlinkleads: If You Address Fulani's As Killers, You Should Address Igbos As Armed Robbers & Yorubas As 419ners - Tony Momoh
standing in the society spew this kind of jaggon "comparism'? Why do we as a country give clowns minister of information? Is that a criteria for securing that post?
Former Minister of Information, Prince Tony Momoh, has wondered why Nigerians don’t address the Igbos as armed robbers, Yorubas as 419ers but paint Fulanis as killers. Momoh further claimed that armed herdsmen that were killing and maiming Nigerians were not from the country.
The former Minister warned against attributing killings to Fulani herdsmen, adding that the whole thing had been highly politicised. In an interview with Sun News, Momoh claimed that the killings were being perpetrated by criminals from Mali and Libya and not Fulani herdsmen.
In his words;
“Killings are activities that the government did not envisage but the killings are a challenge to everybody. So, everybody should be blamed for the killings.
“Communication resolves everything. How much communication is there? And if there are no instruments of communicating, we must establish them rather than buying the weapons of war. "But let me tell you and I am saying it with all sense of responsibility. Many people are playing politics with the killings. They are initiating a particular pattern of belief, which would undermine the credibility of their group in future.
“We had the Biafran war in 1967 -1970 and the South East held Nigeria to a standstill before it ended. So, nobody could undermine the Nigerian/Biafran war. Now, the issue of militancy confronted this country and reduced our oil production to less than one million barrels per day.
“Nobody can undermine the works the militants did in the Niger Delta. The National Democratic Coalition(NADECO) confronted Nigeria peacefully after the annulment of the 1993 election and in spite of what you may think, there was no coup in Nigeria that was resisted that ever succeeded.
“The 1993 annulment of the election of MKO Abiola was resisted through the activities of NADECO and so on and so forth, and that was how the compromises of 1999 brought in former President Olusegun Obasanjo from the South West zone of the country.
“From what I said now, you cannot undermine the Niger Delta, you cannot undermine the Igbo and you cannot undermine the Yoruba. And when the problem of the Fulani caliphate was there, they discovered that they could not undermine the Kanuri and the Tivs.
“But do you know what we are doing now because of politics? Anything that happens now, we say it is the Fulani herdsmen whereas it is since the collapse of the Libyan army and the problem in Mali that caused the free flow of weapons into Nigeria especially the activities of Boko Haram.
“And instead of looking at the challenges confronting Nigeria, we are saying that it is the herdsmen that are doing it. Cattle rustlers also seize the cattle and kill the herdsmen which is another issue confronting Nigeria but we in Nigeria because of politics always say killings are by the Fulani herdsmen.
“Do you know that what Othman Dan Fodio could not achieve when he was quoted as having said that he would dip the Quoran in the sea is being achieved through stupid politicking by saying that everything that happens in Nigeria is by the Fulani herdsmen?
“Anywhere you go to, people would say we cannot go to farm because of the Fulani herdsmen. This is when as a matter of fact, the Fulani herdsmen are in more danger than any other Nigerian. Do we talk of Igbo armed robbers?
“Do we talk of Yoruba 419ers and so on? We talk of all these as crimes and we should be talking of the killings as also a crime.
“But because of politics, we are going into areas to make our children believe that the fear of Fulani herdsmen is the beginning of wisdom.
“So, what Othman Dan Fodio could not achieve when he was alive in Nigeria, we are achieving it through communication and making our own children afraid of the Fulani. Remember that the Fulani are in the minority in this country.
“Can you see the way we are moving in the way of deforestation and who would pay for it; our children. We must have the right communication. So, I want to say that criminals do the killings and we must all come together to fight it.”
Suffice it to say, some people don't deserve to be allowed to talk in the public because when hear their utterances, you can actually feel your IQ dropping. How can someone that claim to have a standing in the society spew this kind of jaggon "comparism'? Why do we as a country give clowns minister of information? Is that a criteria for securing that post?
My IQ just dropped after reading this nonsense from an elder statesman.
Did he leave his senses at home before the interview? Has he been living under a rock?
Collapse of Libyan army, problems in Mali my foot! Why are there no problems in neighbouring countries of Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Ghana, Senegal, Burkina Faso?
Old reprobate is actually patronising the long suffering masses and refused to speak the truth to power!
Muckross1122: A pedestrian bridge stretching across a street on the Florida International University campus in Miami collapsed Thursday afternoon, killing multiple people.
Aerial footage showed first responders tending to victims on the scene, searching for people in the rubble and loading others on stretchers into ambulances. Five to six vehicles were crushed in the collapse.
benega: Though sceptical I've always been thoroughly fascinated by the teachings of and alien contact accounts of billy meier. All his theories make a lot of sense to me. Guys what do u make of the man?? #if u haven't heard of him look him up ( but be warned his teachings can rock ur religous beliefs in its foundations)
A hoax. His ex wife ratted on his shenanigans. A common conman!
Upritman: As the news of the Federal Government taking a new battle against Saraki went viral yesterday, it was shocking for some Nigerians to still see the embattled Kwara Politician in the midst of his party men and even the president who many believe is being used to facilitate a targeted war against Him (Saraki).
At that marriage ceremony in Kano, this suspicious picture was taken.
What could the Asiwaju of the Universe be telling Saraki that he looked this cool-headed and sober?
Is it part of the "impossible reconciliation " of his party men among who Saraki (who is believed to be perfecting plans to defect to the PDP) is a Chief aggrieved member?
zionmde: Muslims deserve everything they are getting. I have lived in the north long enough to know how religiously wicked those guys are. I have almost faced death for a religious set up. see anything sympathy for Muslims, GOD FORBID!!! They are the ones killing themselves all because of their distorted beliefs. It started with killing Christians, then they chanted allah nkubari and carried out their cruelty happily now its pay back time, that destruction has come to stay. Sokoto, kebbi and all Fulani herdsmen camp will soon join the suffering Rubbish!!!!!
I have reached a determination that it is dangerous to continue engage you with the hope that you might see the larger picture of things. I have also advised myself based the premises in support of your jaundiced conclusions so far that you might indeed be a MINOR and thus not RESPONSIBLE for nor UNDERSTAND what you are typing.
What you you have been typing qualifies as hate speech, virulent and an unsubstantiated allegation or ill will against a whole people, tribe, religion so as to cause them to be despised, held to odium, disrepute because they hold views different from yours.
zionmde: so they chose to allow foreign countries use them for supremacy battle abi? Wat is my business with Muslims killing Muslims. I guess the one in Sudan is also supremacy battle as well as the one in north east. rubbish
Your display of ignorance is not deliberate, It is second nature.
Fact check : there is no war in Sudan.
The other country called "South Sudan" which is largely a "Christian" country is currently fighting a bush war between her tribal rebel groups! Get your facts correct. And, Nigeria is NOT at war in the North East, there is an insurgency in the North East which is similar to the militancy in her Niger -Delta. Our boys are on a counter insurgency mission. It is irresponsible to compare what is going on in Syria with South Sudan and North East.
No, you are wrong, the people of Syria are in no position to "choose to invite" any "Christian" super power nation to their country to kill them and their children. The countries are there principally to protect and preserve their respective spheres of influence and economic interests.
Not concerned people and children being used for target practice are muslims?
I asked earlier "where is your humanity? When you are injured, do you bleed? When you are hurt do you cry? Are you HUMAN? A you part of the human race?
A piece of "rubbish" is an unwanted "item" to be disposed of having established it possesses no further value or functionality to retain it. Your insensitivity or lack of empathy, lack of humanity and inability to read are items of no value or functionality you need to rid of before the end of the year!
zionmde: islam!!!!! Wat a curse to humanity there must be something that connects wickedness and that religion. Beheading, suicide bombing, terrorism etc, all connected to the religion. If only the world knew Wat was coming their way wen that short man devil suddenly woke and said an angel talked to him.
there must be something that has stolen humanity away from some human beings and turned them into cannibals
I am shocked by the unbelievable display of ignorance and insensitivity in your rant above. Or, was it a deliberate attempt to amass "likes"? Where is your HUMANITY?
You know it won't hurt you at all if you try to read first before typing?
If you had bothered to read a little, you would have discovered that the people are being bombed by the US and Russian Airforce who are conducting proxy war in that country?
Both are using Syrian people and their children as guinea pigs for their latest war planes which were deployed just last month?
The war in Syria is not about religion, it is struggle for SUPREMACY between the United States and Russian Federation! The pictures are of the victims.
HE DIED FOR A WORTHY CAUSE; TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE COUNTRY FROM THE ENEMY WITHIN. HE DIED SO THAT YOU CAN BE SAFE TO TYPE YOUR COMMENT ABOVE IN A FREE COUNTRY AND NOT AN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.
SLEEP WELL BRAVE SOLDIER, WE APPRECIATE AND ARE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SACRIFICE.
YOUR SACRIFICE TO KEEP US ALL SAFE SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
OH YOU NIGERIAN POLITICIANS, WHEN ARE GOING TO STOP BURYING YOUR CHILDREN? THE LIFELINE OF THE NATION?
Op you glossed over the origin of Awujaleship. You did say anything about the Olisa and his status vis-a-vis the Awujale.
You neglected to dwell on the Ijebu system of government i.e. the odis, pampas, the regberegbes and the role of Oluwo Agbadagbodo.
I didn't see anything about the sacrifice of omoseni Enisheemu Leguru for the survival of Ijebu Ode.
No write up Ijebu Ode should ignore the institution called "Agemo". The cultural identity and the proper division of Ijebu territory is tied to the Agemos.
You didn't say anything about the people Awujale met at Ijebu Ode.
No disrespect is intended to any ethnic grouping and this is certainly not intended to support of any myopic ethnic supremacy arguments between indifferent African groups. The excerpts below seems to support relationship/affinity between Yoruba and Edo ethnic groups.
"History give it that the Ugbode Olukumi speaking people migrated from Owo/Akure axis in the present Ondo state between 9th and 11th century AD to settle down in Benin during the reign of king Ogiso of Benin. It was this period in the history of the Benin kingdom, the most neglected of the wife of the Ogiso gave birth to the heir apparent to the throne. After the woman gave birth to the child, a male, the nobles consulted the oracle and said that the oracle told them that the child should be killed for peace to reign in Benin kingdom. At the end, the child was not killed as it was said that the child was too handsome to be killed, so a fowl was killed in his place.
According to Ochei, this was the reason the Ugbodu people left Benin. “They felt that if a crown prince could be ordered for execution just like that, they could do worse things to strangers in their midst. As a result, they left Benin and came to Ewohimi, an Ishan speaking community in Edo state. Due to intra-tribal wars, they later left the place to settle down in Ugbodu which is a shortened form of Ugbodumila means bush saved me in English language”.
With the movement of the people, there was a consequent change in their language as shown in their names. According to records compiled by Prince Humphrey Ojeabu Ochei, the immediate Olihen of Ughodu, the first six Olozas bore Yoruba names namely Adeoda, Aderemi, Ariyo, Odofin, Adetunji and Oyetunde. These early kings bore typical yourba names years and decades after the establishment of the Ugbodu kingdom.
As the people gradually lost contact with their kinsmen back home, they began to gravitate towards the Benin and Edo communities"
Love is a candle whose flame rises and ebbs inevitably with the melting of the candle. It is not constant though alluring.
You cannot live your life on the supposition the lady will forever love you. When the flame of love begins to ebb, the reality of your perfidy will hit you in the face.
She will not respect you after the marriage.
She will not respect your friends or want to associate with them.
Her friends will find it difficult to be your friend (especially the married one).
Her siblings will not take to you.
She will be reticent to introduce you as her husband in the public.
Each time you try to put your foot down in your house, you may find your authority being questioned by her in most cases.
If she is better than you financially, your name is Sorry.
Best thing, take her away from all cultural influences of Nigeria. Go to Europe where your kind of love is a norm.
Nigerians are great people but our cultural prejudices especially as it affects women is still in its infancy.
Final word, if you choose to stay put in Nigeria then, just have a great relationship but settle down with someone at least 2-3 years younger than you!
Reliable? That car is the ultimate machine for the discerning driver who appreciates understated luxury and functionality! It handles great; it fuel consumption is awesome and driving it in the rain is a joy. The brakes are out of this world!
I used one of these babies a couple of years back and I can attest to its suitability for the chaotic Lagos traffic. It allows you to weave in and out of the traffic effortlessly. Parking the car is another advantage, it fits into the smallest parking space imaginable! I love it's speed, the noiseless hum of the engine and fiery fire of its unbelievable speed when on a freeway. I love it's cuteness which belies it unbelievable agility. The problem with the car is the spare parts which are not easily available and when you get them, they are too expensive.
Exciton: I think sub Saharan Africans have no shame for being maltreated because we do not really understand why nations exist. We think mass migration as a first option (for soluble problems) is acceptable. This makes us look weak and pathetic -- always grovelling and begging for help. Like as if they're father christmas. People should be asking wtf AU is doing to help these people instead of demanding for external help.
We don't wanna stay back and do what must be done to make our respective countries habitable for the sake of our future generations. Evicting tyrants, creating a sustainable government system, gaining knowledge for wealth creation etc.
If people, understood that it's our sole responsibility to ensure our nation is prosperous, we won't jump ship and be grovelling at every opportunity. Shame would come first.
Africa and Africans humiliated, rejected and dehumanised anywhere and everywhere. Even in the so called "holy land" which should be a sanctuary to all races? Where do we go from here? Mars?
