'Don't look to anybody to be your role model' but you people will drag 'slay queens and social media baddies' for how they are influencing young, impressionable girls into setting some kind of standards in relationships.


Suddenly it is not important to have visible, upright public figures as beacons of morality and values in politics anymore. Everything is definitely isolated and there are no trickle-down or upward consequences for collective behaviour in the society.


Yawnss.

The double standards here today is absolutely disgusting.
If you can't call one out for hypocrisy, what is then the aim of all we do here in the name of politics?

What is wrong with teejay? This is really troubling behavior.
Will you fight every single person on this board? What's up with your very thin skin?

Seen on nigerian Reddit.
The responding comments were funnier.

seankafor:
so why den do you say crypto transactions can not be traced?

Even a coin you send from centralized exchange can be traced.. but this time at the mercy of the exchange providers ..

But anything you do on any Dex can be tracked traced by any third party whatsoever

I thought ibime once said there is how you would mix or mesh the crypto via a certain app and then it becomes untraceable??
Are you saying every crypto transaction is traceable? Every single one?

But we voted GEJ out because dollar got to 200

Now we're defending 1200

What a time to be alive

This is what really gets me mad with the APC folks today. The hypocritical double standards.

In 2015, APC's selling point to we the electorate was that the new fuel prices of 140 per liter was absolutely terrible for the masses.
That dollar going up to 200 from 150 was absolutely terrible.
These were highlighted as major failures of governance by president Jonathan. And many bright eyed nigerians bought into that intense nasty politicking against Jonathan.

Nationwide protests were held against Jonathan and Jonathan did not give the protests an ethnic coloration unlike today where any protest against bad governance is given an ethnic coloration by the APC as a divide and rule tactics carried out by their tribalistic herd and paid propagandists.

Today, somehow the standards have changed, there is now a deep rationalization of the APC's misgovernance and misrule. A rationalization not afforded to Jonathan. As I said, any organized protest by the masses is automatically coloured as tribally motivated.

These APC folks today disgusts me soo much.

Every single thing they complained about Jonathan is now 10 times worse under the APC but somehow these demons many of who are not impacted by this misgovernance continue to this day to support this terrible government.
Shining teeth with us, biting us and blowing breeze. Biting us and blowing breeze, not seeing the melancholic mockery and shamelessness that shines through them.
What a pity.

Donjazet is a Buharist.

I summarise it best as this;
2015 - pro APC\ anti-PDP
2019- Anti -pdp (protest vote).
And maybe I was indeed wrong for that 2019 vote.

No way Atiku would have been worse than Buhari. But anti-corruption has been my strongest word since I became politically conscious and corruption issues always determined who will ultimately get my vote. Fair to say PDP has been a child's play when it comes to the institutional multilayered corruption under APC. One that is set to continue under the grand looter of Lagos in the coming years.

Going hard and crashing out for a woman that has not earned or deserved it.

Going against logic and common sense. Putting your life, money and freedom at risk to satisfy woman is Simpin

Okay. This is actually logical. No one is supposed to "go hard" for a partner who is undeserving of that effort.

But quick question though; this isn't supposed to be a gender issue right? Like, you also have women who go hard for some men who are undeserving of their efforts and love. So is there a word for that?

If men who show so much love to women who don't deserve that love are called "simps".

Is there a word for women who show soo much love to men who are undeserving of that love? What are the women called? Because surely this behavior isn't restricted to only men.

Why isn't there a word for women simps or are women excepted to not also have standards when it comes to men?

Can someone please give an accurate definition of the word SIMP?

It's been used in soo many different ways and contexts that one becomes very confused as to what exactly the word means.

4 of the top 10 biggest economies in the world today has English as the number one language. With the rest of them making the language the major second language.

America, UK, India, Canada. All English.
Germany, France, Japan and the others adopting it as the mandatory second language to learn.
But someone keeps yapping about colonialism up and down. Despite former colonies thriving today beyond measures.

Canada, Australia, Singapore, India, etc. All countries that were colonized but have grown beyond that to become very powerful and developed but someone is still talking about language being a factor that represses development.

Miss me with that bullshit. You have no idea what you're talking about. You're just regurgitating nonsense seen from a delusional garbage space.

Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Nigeria, Australia, Canada, India and 50 more countries.

All adopting English as their lingua franca. Their common language. Despite having thousands of different tribes within them and the language being a common force for good.

But a non-entity will keep disturbing us about the very same thing despite everyone teaching him how useless and non practical the sentiment is.

The common English names today like John, James, Mary, Michael, etc. Are infact hebrew names. Did they colonize modern day england? No?

English today, just like most European languages are actually relatively new languages which were adapted from the latin and roman languages due to the influence of theocracy in Europe for centuries.

Their languages acculturated from the dominant roman languages and that has not stopped these countries being great and evolving to be great world powers eventually.

Sooo much languages have gone extinct and that hasn't affected humanity in anyway. Infact, our world today is the most peaceful it has ever been in any period of our human existence because we are more connected to each other. Look at us right here speaking amongst ourselves from different parts of the world. Some in Australia, some in England, some in America, counties soo far apart from each other but we're in touch with ourselves.

UNIFIED BY A SINGLE LANGUAGE..

English as a lingua franca has been a force for good in this century. It has seen the world grow much smaller and connected. And that's a good thing. Language is simply a tool for communication. The more, more people speak a common language, the more they form common grounds of unity and understanding. The more they see themselves as the same and equal humans. A single race.

Stop this sentimental bullshit.

This noise about language is purely sentimental bullshite. Pure bullshite.

In the world of interconnectivity and globalization, a common lingua franca is inevitable. Get this, 85 percent of the world speaks or adopts just 5 major languages. English, Spanish, mandarin, Arabic, french and then other languages.

What this means is that, no matter what part of the world you are in, matter the corner of the planet you are in, you must run into someone who speaks or understand one of these five major languages.
This is despite there being more than a million ethnicities spread around the world.

Do you know that English speaking countries have a language privilege in the modern world because of the sheer spread and usage of the language around the globe. English is the only language present in all the continents of the world. And our global geopolitical order today makes the language a priority for educated non speakers.

Fun fact; 117 current world leaders speak and understand English.
This noise about us regressing towards indigenous language is simply sentimental BULLSHIIT! It's regressive and actually offers no positive value. Not a single positive value for us regressing to everyone speaking local languages and we're not unique.

Singapore, Philippines, Pakistan, India and 50 more countries use English as an official language. Official as in, using it in government official roles, speaking and teaching it in schools.

English has actually helped in uniting and facilitating cooperation between different groups and tribes across different countries, even those with palpable tribal discord. Rwanda, Kenya, Nepal, Uganda, Singapore, Philippines and so on.

Please drop this incessant noisy bullshit abeg.

The fall of the house of Usher.

My God what a fücking show.

It really is. I see it grabbing awards next year.

Bombblacks:
You can check out apple plus Silo as well. Unlike Netflix they deal on quality over quantity.

I've beat you to it already. Silo was a really good show. Ferguson was wonderful in it.

Although I'm slightly worried that a vast majority of shows these days seems to be adaptation of novels and a dearth of creative originals.

Suits is going to have another season.

How true is this?[/color]

Just googled it and saw that there will indeed be reboot but with different actors and different locations.

Just like this their NCIS them, same theme but different actors in different locations. NCIS LA, NCIS New York etc.
I don't think it's wise sha but we can only watch and see.

Meanwhile have you watched this new series; Hijacked? It's really good. By Idris Elba featuring a plane hijacking and intricate plots. Wonderful action too.

Apple+ are producing soo many hits right now. Both movies and series. When you're a 3 trillion dollar company that sets aside a budget of 10 billion dollars a year for movie production, I guess money can't ever get in the way of entertainment.

Roland17:
Okpa's Anti-West and Pan-African position don dey enter another thing at this point. It is has become the only lens he views any argument.

Roland, I'm a bit curious about your religious inclination.
Are you religious or irreligious? Christian or agnostic\atheist?

In trying to gauge you're own lens of worldview. Seeing as you're a democratic liberal.

BlueRayDick:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Usual escape.

Come to think of it
Our league commentary should be in local dialect

Taking an argument to it's logical extreme. nice.

A001:
Na you own Nairaland? My posts here are well in line with the purpose of this thread. If the things I say here are too difficult for you to understand, simply ignore the posts.

The question here is; WHO IS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE?

Because you have derided every single individual who engaged you as "mentally and intellectually inferior".

Just name a single person who you feel measures up to your perceived intellect since everyone here is a fool and a child that doesn't know their left or right.

If you can't name a single person who you intend to influence, why not just spare us the stress of your posts which we seem to be largely very nonsensical? Why punish us with these very long nonsenses.

OasisX:


.....Ẹ̀gbọ́n àti Essay writing sha. LOL!

I don't know why the guy can't try to compress his writings. Always making it more stressful for us when swiping past the post.

raumdeuter:
Risk assessment completed
Verdict: potential damage outweighs current damage

Action: Shut up and move

This is actually proven false seeing the statistics of random gun violence and death. Almost half a million lives in America is lost to gun deaths every year.

That video blueray posted shows 2 people destroying their vehicles themselves to the cheers of strangers. Statistics shows that in America, the presence of gun will actually lead to an escalation rather than an a de-escalation or deterrent.

Here, in that road rage, there is no threat to life, in America, with guns, there is an immediate threat to life.
I mean, look at this example where a friend shot his friend just for argument.

hopefulLandlord:
I hate statistics such as these cuz it lists states alongside countries which makes NO sense!

What's "Singapore" and "Macau" doing in same lists as London, Dubai etc?

Macua is the money laundering hub of Asia. It has the biggest casinos through which people and corporations move funds out and through Asia considering china's stringent capital control measures.

Some of my personal best laws of power.

Interesting global stats.

Na some people MCM be this o..smh

Lots to unpack here. The cheerful and willful human desire to see chaos and destruction.

See strangers cheering up 2 people to destroy themselves all for fun. Sad seeing the insanity.

Spy360:
My brother.

That BBC said no evidence and led us to an inclusive ending. They based all their investigations on looking at photocopied materials.

I was actually hoping that they would do a private investigation at CSU. A disappointing release from BBC, no substance.

Meanwhile I was thinking Peter Obi was goiytobask Tinubu to resign or face massive protests. That press conference disappointed me. PO is not ruthless enough for me. I'm disappointed .

The bolded right there is basically what sapped my energy in continuing my campaign for him. The man doesn't know how to wield the power and influence he has gained. He doesn't know how to rally his supporters and basically just let the whole thing wither slowly.

liveLongNprospa:
Bruh.. Spineless as fuck_ to just see something that is black and call it black.

You must want to attach context and still avoid having a stance on it.
This is even on an anonymous Internet oo.
Is this what it means to be older ni?
To be called a egbon means you dance around making a stance.
Pure coward behaviour omo.

Harsh words for ibime. Quite deserved for his distasteful stance concerning the drug baron.
But I still respect the man. I refuse to let his bad stance on tinubu erase his respectful and knowledgeable maturity on a whole lot of other issues. We're allowed to be flawed sometimes.

liveLongNprospa:
.. How is Obi involved in this issue when it is atiku that has been dragging him through the mud?
Is Obi in PDP or a member of the legal team that deposed the CSU Registrar?
I nor understand this man.

I really cannot understand why ibime has a soft spot for the highly corrupt criminal called tinubu.

Tinubu has led a class of a highly corrupt elite class of politicians that are personally responsible for the regression and downfall of Nigeria. What is there to stan a man who has charged Nigeria's division along tribal lines and whose proteges in various states are nothing but monumentally corrupt and inept criminals?
I really can't fathom this.
