No, my parents were really strict deeper life pastors. We didn't even have a TV

Heard this before. Never knew this was actually true.

Learnt that deeper life people did not allow TV for a long time. Wow.

Magnoliaa:
Na Seankafor you type this intelligent rebuttal for, Don J?? 🙆🏿‍♀️🙆🏿‍♀️
Ah! You will be disappointed o.

Someone that doesn't think more than sex, cum, prostitution. 😅
Okay.

I am sure by his using the line "poor feminist girls", he wasn't expecting your angle at all.

The entire argument over the past 10 pages dey confusing as fvck. I was wondering how we now got from we must all learn how to cook to women must cook to talking about sex with younger girls. I couldn't even draw the parallels myself despite trying to follow up.
Make una just fimile joor.

seankafor:
that reminds me

Donjazet2 , Donjazet

What do you have to say about these online poor girls called feminists

I attended a colleague's function today so didn't have time to comment on the issue.

Reading the whole thing, I was quite confused because the flow of the conversation was quite distorted, at first it looked like it was a question of people not knowing how to cook, I mean, we are in era where everyone can easily cook anything with the advent of the internet, just have your utensils and food items and you can cook whatever you want, then it seemed the Convo diverted to gender roles in the society, with cooking highlighted as a key part of a woman's role.

At this point, to me it now seemed like an argument between conservatism and liberalism and once I hear an argument of a conservative, I know the person is making a losing argument because conservatives will always lose. One cannot fight change. I mean think of how the world was 100 years ago and how it is today.
I was on reddit before and came across a picture of the US president Theodore Roosevelt giving a state of the union speech. For those who don't know what this is, it's an annual event where the president addresses all senior government officials and makes a speech on the current "state of the union", his victories and his plans. This event has in attendance, all elected members of Congress, all supreme court justices, all heads of the military from the Pentagon and all cabinet members. It's the highest political event of the year. And guess what, only 3 women were present in the room. Like, think about this, in the 1930's in America, of all the electable and government appointed positions in the US, only 3 women were present out of more than 600 government officials. Today, that number has risen from 0.3 percent to about 37 percent. That's progress, thanks to liberalism.
100 years ago, a woman's role was heavily constrained to the home. That simply isn't the ideal case anymore.

Someone was highlighting roles played by men in the society today, roles that were carried out by predominantly men in their fields today, example military, oil drilling, road transportation etc.

Reading that, it seemed to me like this person wasn't cognizant of the makeup of the labor force today globally. Talking about the military, we are currently seeing the highest participation of women in the military around the world and that number is set to grow even further. The world currently has the highest percentage of women in military. From female combatants to female snipers to female military engineers to female munitions officers. The role of women in military is ever expanding.

Just exactly like the police force. Many years ago, women were barely in the police force, today it's at an all time high.

So this argument of pigeon holing women and men into various gender roles is a diminishing argument. Someone said "a man would go out there and hustle for money to provide for the family while the woman should maintain the home". sorry 2023 has left you behind. We're not in the 1800's anymore. I don't know about you guys but I have two working class parents who were both salary earners and built their wealth from there.

Short story; today my family is an upper middle class family. My parents own a school, a 40 room hotel, some landed properties which they collect rents from annually and some few plots scattered around in home town and cities. Their story; both civil servants; put money together, bought lands in portharcourt in 2001 after mother's work colleague informed her of state government plan to build access roads in rukpokwu, rivers, buys 2 plots for 500k plus, 300k from dad, 200k plus from mum, more than 60% of their annual salary then. Fast forward to 2009, the place has completely changed, with development sprawling everywhere and planned estate, Catholic church buys one of the plots for 35 million naira. Parents Uses it to set up a school. Only nursery and primary. With gradual expansion over few years to include daycare and junior secondary. All these while still earning salary and gaining promotion.

Dad is transferred, church buys up the school. With both school and land valuation now at 90 million plus, meanwhile the land bought for 6 million with earlier proceeds when they sold the initial land to the church for 35 is now sold for 25 million. I could go on and on but the motive is to let you know that this was a joint partnership with 2 working class parents.

My dad and mum both know how to cook but we always had a distant relative from the village who stayed with us at various points over the years and helped with domestic chores around the house. Cooking was mainly handled by my sister and the help.

On Saturdays and Sundays we cook meals in large quantities then store them in our deep freezer and then warm them over the course of the week. My parents still do that till today. Breakfast normal bread and tea or fried yam and egg with akumu\custard.

So the world has moved on from this primary role partitioning. It's left for each husband and wife to know what works for them not naturally pigeon-holing women into roles to play.
At the end of the day, liberalism will always triumph because change is constant and liberalism is about the freedom of the individual as opposed to historical societal norms. Saudi Arabia and dubia will one day legalize gay marriage, it may take 50 years, heck who knows, 100 years sef but it is inevitable. Because religion will lose its stranglehold rapidly in the coming decades with the continuing easy access to information and education.

Saying women must learn how to cook is bad. What makes it bad is that you're restricting cooking to only women. All adults should know how to cook. Any man that doesn't know how to cook is a failure. Cooking is a basic skill of survival. A basic skill of life , so you guys make a mistake when you restrict it to only one gender.

Meanwhile, Obi won benue state!!
I repeat, Obi won benue state!!

If someone ever accused obi of not being Nigerian by birth, I would simply point you to his father and mother in agulu, Anambra and show you his brothers, sisters, numerous school classmates who have spoken publicly about him.

Can any bastard actually do the same for tinubu?

Nahh, hundeyin dey cook for the gods.

We want to know, is this document real or not?

David hundeyin has certainly famed himself as someone authentic. His information over time has proven factual over time, so I ask again on that basis, is this document genuine or fake?

Notice how no Bastard is actually addressing whether the tinubu document is genuine or not. The typical response is to deflect by throwing insults all around.


Please, tell us exactly, WHO IS THIS MAN CALLED TINUBU??

How well did you scrutinize the candidate you support, abi you all have another reason for supporting this man no matter how deeply flawed and terrible a person he is?

GloriousGbola:
the obidient movement officially has their Q and they are being even more mindfucked than the MAGA movement

one week one nonsense conspiracy theory for the base to run wild on

two weeks ago spy3.60 was telling us confam gist that it was actually a bolanale hamedat Tinubu that schooled in chicago who died and had her identity stolen

now we have this piece of ridiculousness.

it will be noted that we no longer have inspector hundeyin recycling old 'investigations' - rather these new stories begin and die in someones fever dream.

as it is , i could start some ridiculous rumour thing right here on NL that they would desperately latch onto
slowly as more and more members of the movement inevitably peel off - we will be left with the hard core of malignant psychotics who substitute their schizophrenia for reality

All these while aligning with blood suckers and radical tribalists who want to eliminate Obasanjos lineage and profile voters on ethnic basis.

You're a fvcking hypocrite.

As for your "fake news" rant., Simple question;

WHO IS BOLA TINUBU?

Can you tell me affirmatively his educational background. His primary and secondary schools and what year he passed through them?

Can you tell me who "BOLA TINUBU'S" father is? Can you give me the name of tinubu's father please. Like where exactly he's from.


I can tell you everything there is to know about my candidate, can you do the same?

Some people claim tinubu is lagosian, some claim osun, some claim Guinean, some claim Columbian as a drug lord. Now can you prove everyone wrong and just give us factual information as to where exactly your candidate hails from??

I mean it's not a conspiracy that your candidate stole another high profile politicians picture and used as his own to hide his background. Like, a presidential candidate stole someone's childhood pictures to sell as his own. So you can't act surprised when people try to fill that void with different news. Nature abhors a vacuum.

And there was this monologue before that.

Donjazet2:
Yesterday night, i kinda had an epiphany after browsing the movie website and opening an account there and seeing various series, it took me down memory lane.
So, i opened an account on IMDb, and i was seeing some movies i have watched, i decided to list the series i have watched and i was shocked to see the sheer number of season films I've watched over the years. Omo!! I knew that i do watch series but i didn't know that it would be up to 127!! So far oo! Although the caveat is that i didn't complete many and many were also cancelled along the way.

The discovery made me remember even the earliest series i watched that introduced me to american series. From princess xena to legend of the seeker, Merlin, lost, Smallville etc.
I even recalled how i started watching series.

So Short story; my family was the normal quintessential christian conservative household whose movies were predominantly nigerian movies that told stories via the lens of our own society. The religiosity, superstitious beliefs, morbid condemnation of African traditional religion, display of "rituals, sacrifices and the likes. Summarily put, throughout my primary school, myself and my family watched Nollywood movies predominantly. Although we also did watch some american movies on occasion, especially when we switched from VCD to DVD then, i remember watching star wars, around the world in 80 days, the mummy 1 and 2, lord of the rings, rambo, alien vs predator, blade, Harry Potter etc.

But it was when i went to secondary school, I began to hear of seasonal movies, my classmates especially one of my new friends was constantly talking about princess xena, 24 and Smallville. This guy could describe the entire storyline of a movie scene by scene without missing a single scene. Anselm ofoegbu. 😀 We would gather around the guy during break or games and he would be storytelling about the series. When it was midterm break and i went back home, from church i would sneak into a filmshop that sells all these DVD disk and buy a series and then go and watch it at home. So my journey of series began. I was the master of binge watching. Watching American series opened ones eye to a whole different world away from yours. It was different from what we knew.

Watching 24 absolutely blew my mind. I Smallville introduced me to superhero series which as a young teen was a wonderful entertaining experience. In my jss2, when my dad bought our first home theater system, boy oo boy, there was no going back from there. 😄😄😄


Anyways let me list the earliest series i watched throughout my secondary school period.
Kyle xy❌, princess xena, legend of the seeker, Merlin❌, Smallville✅, grey's anatomy, brothers and sisters (my sister personally loved this one soo much), fringe✅✅, ugly betty❌, Boston legal ✅, 24✅✅ ✅, the west wing✅✅✅✅✅, desperate housewives✅, friends, criminal minds🔥, suits✅, supernatural ❌, Stargate Atlantis ❌, the office✅, Malcolm in the middle ❌, lost, how i met your mother ✅, dexter. Teenwolf.

Omoo i watch series no be here oo. 😄😄 These are the earliest i could recall. There are even some i no longer remember the names. One about two twin brothers in highschool.

Anyways, i would list my very best series of all time on the next post. The pick of the bunch. Like top 15-20.

I know this belongs here.

Donjazet2:
Okay so these are my very best season movies of all time! Across all genres.

What makes a good season movie for me are;

-wonderful storyline or scriptwriting, that is, good intricate interwoven plotlines that leave you wanting more. Eg, Breaking bad, sense8, the wire etc.
-Superb cinematic production value. Series that when you watch, you see that money was well spent, the asthetics, scenery and the likes were well crafted. Game of thrones, legend of seeker, the west wing.

Top notch Creativity.
Wonderful performances from the actors. Olivia pope in scandal, Annalise Keating in HTGAWM. Jack Bauer of 24 etc. Malik of mr robot. House of cards.

Of course educative and informative.

So these are my very best seasonal movies. Many possess all or most of the qualities i listed above. I just couldn't get enough. Although some disappointed with the endings but the vast majority were jaw dropping.

Ps; i love all genres of series apart from maybe "religious and conservative series". My favorite genre has to be political drama series. Any series that has the office of the president or a form of government intrigue, constantly features the white house or pentagon or other bureaucracy like the CIA, FBI or the likes. So sometimes this can mix up with detective series. But political dramas like west wing, house of cards, scandal, veep, 24 are some of my favorite.

In no particular order but my top 5 being the very best before the rest of the best.
The wire
Game of thrones
The west wing (i cannot overemphasize this series enough)
Breaking bad
24
Midnight mass
Squid games.
House of cards
Fargo
Ozarks
Peaky blinders
True detective
Homeland
Fringe
Mr robot.
Money heist.
Elite
Veep
How to get away with murder
Vikings
Scandal
Better call Saul
Boston legal
Person of interest
Suits
Desperate housewives.
Billions
Succession
Narcos
Criminal minds
Smallville (just personal appeal)
Madam secretary
The boys

There you have it!
There is not a single series you would watch on this list that you wouldn't enjoy and want more.
These are the very best of entertainment from my experience.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]She wasn't asking for child support.

She was asking for HALF.

Unless child support translates to half of one's property[/color]

It's not like she's making a spurious claim. It's embedded in their law.
But I'm certainly shocked to learn of the age difference between both. It's always awkward seeing that sort of age difference between a wife and her husband.

Just like the french president marrying his teacher who gives him more than 20 year age gap difference. Very weird.

Truly there are always 2 sides to a story.

In this hakimi is actually the devil of the story, not the hero as portrayed.

larride:
Izzou has never identify as an obidient, has he?

There are a lot of people that voted Obi who don’t subscribe to the Obidient movement.

I’m not sure you can process that phenomenon. 😂

So why then am I being tagged as a "buharist"?

larride:
This logic is not logicing here. Buharist are evil people and you are one.

Wear your Buharist evil tag with all your chest. 😂

Izzou voted for Obi, would you classify him as "obidient"?

larride:
You know Donj was a Buharist right? 😂

Nahh, I think a key difference can be made that I did not canvass for or in any way insult anyone because of buhari.

I voted for buhari but did not campaign for him per say. Very notable difference.

So I'm not in that same WhatsApp group. Just like izzuo for obi.

And what does this your statement have to do what the post you quoted, what's the correlation?

nihilistjnr:
Lord God...

You really can't help yourself, can you?

Almost as if I live in your head now permanently. You just can't resist taking a shot at me, can you?

Amigoss:
The person wey call Awolowo wife HIV,drag Obasanjo and other Yoruba elders,drag GEJ with so much hate and bile,has been dragging obi as far back as 2010 sef dey talk.

Internet is indeed a thing of beauty and a leveller.

Your head dey there hundred percent.

I expect that the next logical response to this is "what of the agberos in your state". That's how they will seek to deflect this immediately. Fasting hypocrites.

TrebleChamp:
Guy you won't die if you condemn rubbish like this, that right there was harassment and an abuse of privileged. She did the right thing by locking her account, yet some of this ignorant Obidients followed her to Facebook and Instagram or so i heard. If you criticise people here ( and rightly so) for not condemning attacks on Obidients during the election, apply same energy to condemn the foolish action of these Obidients who invaded the woman's page to insult her for doing her job. The award didn't even mean Tinubu was a saint, seeing that Hitler had also been named man of the year by same time magazine.

You, my friend are not seeing the big picture.
This is all propaganda from APC in their quest to paint the obidient movement as dangerous ideologues. To paint the movement as toxic.

We know what abuses are and we know what "nigerian cruise" is. Nobody went and said, " you will die in your sleep", "your children are bastards" or such vile things.

Go to her page, it was the normal cruise, it was overwhelmingly "anti-tinubu" comments there, not even against the writer. "check her back pocket, agbado dey inside"


Just like wole Soyinka, nobody insulted his family as far I know, it was the calling out and accusation of compromisation of his values and his hypocrisy against only obidients.

Nobody threatened wole Soyinka in any art or form, you cannot do something wrong and not expect any form of clapback or criticism. So far as everything ends online, all is fair!!

They try and try to make it look like obidients are dangerous and that is just not true. That is propaganda at work.

airmark:
Where was your tail when I asked you the question you have refused to answer, for like over a month now?

I have answered your question but you keep repeating and repeating it.

You asked me about GVR's candidacy in Lagos and if I would accept it in my own state, I told you that every dynamics of every election is different. You either vote for someone or against someone. My answer to that depends on who the opponent is. I'm answering you again oo.

If the candidate has a history of using bad words against my tribe and cannot speak my language but the opponent is a stooge of criminal structure that has captured the political structure of the entire state for decades, I will vote for the lesser evil because I cannot support undemocratic elements. I will overlook the character flaw of the other candidate in order to free my state from political capture of kleptocrats.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao the one that happened to the journalist was harassment.
Especially when you consider she's not Nigerian and the post doesn't necessarily lend any form of credibility to the election.
I mean Hitler was also named times man of the year😁

I went to the journalist's page on Twitter and most of the responses I was seeing were mostly anti-tinubu posts by obidients, not necessarily abuses at her. The "abuses" directed at her were mostly in the line of "you have corn in your back pocket" and stuff like that. The Normal cruise.

The mistake we keep making is allowing the APC propagandists to shape the narrative. They throw shit and see which sticks.

The journalist deserves to be called out (not harassed) for attempting to White wash the image of a criminal kleptocrat and drug baron.

Don't let these bastards take away the only weapon we have, OUR VOICES!
Don't fall for their shenanigans. It's highly diabolical in nature.

My fellow obidients, we still have a minor job to do;
Tomorrow, elections will hold in various constituencies across the country.
Please if you are located in any of these places where the supplementary elections will hold, please endeavor to go out and vote. Despite all that has gone wrong, we can still see evidence of our efforts. So please don't allow yourself be subdued.

Don't surrender to these evil politicians, voting takes just but 1 hour at most.
Voting is basically just thumbprinting on a sheet of paper, that's all.

So endeavor to go out and vote! Let's make more victories while we await the tribunal to give us more of our stolen seats across the nation.

Emaprince:
Selective criticism as always.

Chimamanda can't meddle in our polity cause she is away from Nigeria..but we have a lot of them here who aren't in Nigeria..and have no plans of investing anything in Nigeria supporting the evil APC cos it doesn't affect them directly.

These people wouldn't recognize cognitive dissonance even if it hit them in the face.

Imagine a Batist daring to complain about chimamanda having political opinions when the 2 most vocal supporters of the yellow teeth-stained drug baron on this thread claim to be out of this country.

Hyp hyp hyp!! Hypocrites!

Depends on what you call "harassing". You cannot let yourself be an agent of image laundering a terrible criminal and expect not to be called out.

I repeat, until we see any physical act of violence like the bastards carried out on election day, maiming and killing innocent people, all these one na noise..

If any of you were given the opportunity, what will you say to Pablo Escobar upon hearing he was running to be president of Columbia and hearing that journalist were using their platform to whitewash the image of a criminal??

You complain about "harassment" but actively encourage the criminality of the politicians that ruined nigeria. Sorry but you're a stupid fool of the highest degree. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

GloriousGbola:
The least you can do is actually take the time to learn about our religion so you can use coherent terms.

Your refusal and inability to do that is the real reason why your[b] wins were confined to the east and Lagos[/b]

You can learn, or you can lose again

The choice is yours.

Say what??

Benin people of Edo are what?

Gwari people of Abuja are what?
Gbagi people of nasarawa are what?

Benue, plateau and taraba nko?

The 60 thousand votes of adamawa nko?
The 300k votes of Kaduna?


My friend stop decieving yourself. Carry your delusions the fvck outta here.

Emaprince:
Seriously. A lot of pharisees on this board claiming they are fasting.

Their hypocrisy stinks. It really stinks.

Obidients are online and not harming any one. APC hoodlums are on ground hurting and killing people.. but these fake fasting pharisees were cheering they perpetrators of real crime.

Now na preaching we dey see.

You dey mind the stinking hypocrites?

You say you're fasting and praying to your God but you are boldly supporting evil.

I asked hoesis a very simple question, see how he ran cowardly with his tails between his legs.

What does his religion have to say about the use of hard drugs like cocaine and heroin and what are his positions on them?

Ask any tinubu Muslim supporter and watch them run from the post cowardly. Supporting a drug dealer with their open chest.
Bloody hypocrites.

GloriousGbola:
Chimamanda left Nigeria at the age of 19. She has spent all of her adult life in the US. She is more American than Nigerian.

She was raised in enugu. She has not lived for a day in Anambra. Her sole 'experience' with Nigerian politics was another long letter over Arthur eze and ancestral land issues.

Chimamandas activism if you can call it that is limited to lazy/easy feminism. Advocating feminism is easy when you live in the US where all those battles have already been fought.

A completely disconnected writer who has zero actual experience of Nigerian politics, has japaed since the age of 19, and has repeatedly failed to use her perceived clout in other national matters - save Nigeria group, occupy nigeria, bbog, etal is a nakedly partisan voice.

Even more so when she claims to know Obi's record and reputation. I mean, we have the loudest supporters of Obi's twitter and Nairaland history to show us their true feelings on the man's capacity capability and competence.

At least ezekwesili has at different times actually been on ground to push for causes.

Notice how in all these ramblings, you didn't actually counter the substance of her submission.

Is anything wrong with this fact spoken here?

The smouldering disillusionment felt by many Nigerians is not because their candidate didn't win but because the elections they had dared to trust was in the end so unforgivenly and unacceptably flawed. Adichie Chimamanda

BlueRayDick:
If u were in Obi's shoes , what would u have done differently ?

2 things, tell my supporters to immediately encamp all INEC offices during the period of coalition and ensure that the numbers are not changed. Publicly distribute the addresses of all the coalition centers and tell your supporters to rally at the premises and ensure that there is no form of physical violence whatsoever. Peaceful protest is a legally enshrined right to all nigerians.

Or 2, close my damn mouth, rather than outrightly telling them to be calm, I close my mouth and let them do whatever they do, whether violent or not, so far as I didn't in any shape or form call for violence from anyone. But outrightly calling for calm is automatically disclaiming anyone who goes out and protest and actively discourages any protest. Peaceful or otherwise.

Those were the best 2 options. 1: call your supporters to move to coalition centers where the rigging takes place, make sure you emphasize nonviolence or 2: keep shut but don't actively discourage any action by telling them to remain calm.

The smouldering disillusionment felt by many Nigerians is not because their candidate didn't win but because the elections they had dared to trust was in the end so unforgivenly and unacceptably flawed. Adichie Chimamanda

Amoto94:
There are things you do that will endear others to you and some will turn sympathisers against you even when fighting a just cause; Achebe mentioned an incident during the Nigerian Civil War in There Was A Country that turned foreign allies who were in support of the Biafran side during the war I think it was hostage taking. Similarly, I see the same script playing out post-election by attacking, harassing and intimidating others who says something positive or negative that doesn't align with the thoughts and feelings of some supporters. You are only giving others reason not to take your cause serious and this will lead to the eventual downfall of the movement.

This is the kind of hypocrisy I hate.

You guys keep condemning obidients for using the only weapon they have THEIR VOICES! Rather, THEIR FINGERS. But I don't see the negative reaction towards those who actually went out there and spilled blood of voters and actually physically harassed voters.

What kind of devilish hypocrisy is this?

Amoto94 I want to see your condemnation of the electoral malpractices carried out. I want you to direct me to where you condemned what happened in rivers and Lagos state by INEC.

Show me where you're calling out the injustices of the nigerian system.

Obidients are not prepared to accept surrender to the blatant injustice. They are fired up to tackle any enemy of this country that partakes in the hindrance of justice and equity whoever it might be.

I no blame una sha. I'm still blaming Obi who told his supporters to mellow, that's why all these rubbishes are happening. You steal from someone and still tell the person to shut up and move on. Again,I no blame una sha.
