This shows the true scale of unemployment problem better than the 30+ percent we were declaring earlier

If Nigeria has 96% employment but with 93% of those 96% employed informally, we can hazard a broad guess that 80% of that 93% have no meaningful employment

So 0.8 X 0.93 X 0.96 = 71%

71% unemployment is roughly what we have in a colloquial way of speaking.

That's roughly the true scale of unemployment and the work we have to do in this country

Damn this is really bleak! Gosh. Very depressing.

Let's see how it will pan out. I for one do not agree that a man can just grab a woman's head like that and start sucking on her lips like lollipop.
He really should have known better.

Very well said, I completely agree with you.
I guess this opinion is influenced by your immense exposure to their kind of civilised society. Nice.

odizeey:
I've said it that it's going to end up like this for all these outrage and all.

If this man succeeds in calling their bluff, others sef go tell them fvck off.

It's the actaul assaulted ones that will now suffer. This call out has helped a lot. But they have taken it to another level.

The thing is, western societies are really big on accountability. Public image matters a lot for them. That's why resignation is a very common thing there. Be it for their politicians or corporate public faces.
Once there's a hint of a scandal, the person quietly gives way.

And it has proven to actually be a good thing because it's sets a very high standard of conduct for all sorts of public officials.

Not like our type of society where no matter how bad a person is at his job or terrible unethical thing he commits, Na die him go die there because he no send public accountability and he knows that after a few months like you said, the whole thing passes over.

So at least you yourself can tell which society is better, the one that sets very high standards for public faces or the ones whose public faces never give a damn about perception and accountability.

Choose the one you prefer wisely.

Them don mean the guy before. Even the La Liga president wey most people no really like, has beef with that Spanish FA president, that should tell you the FA president is not well liked.

The first chance they got, they all threw him under the bus. It's as if they've been waiting for the opportunity. So it only means the guy has Never been a good person right from time.

It's not about the person, it's about the action.
Very simple question, if the player was a guy, would the president have kissed him on the lips like that?? If you can answer that question honestly, then you can rationalise the problem here.

Jokerman:
🚨💣 BREAKING: MO SALAH WANTS TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL!

Al-Ittihad will offer him a salary that will make him the HIGHEST PAID player in the Saudi Pro League. 🇸🇦🤑

The Saudi club have already met his representatives in Doha and will offer him more wages than Cristiano Ronaldo.

They are convinced that Salah will be attracted to the prospect of playing in a Muslim country alongside his huge salary.

(Source: @relevo)

Yeah, I've observed that these Saudi clubs have been targeting predominantly Muslim players.

ShaqFu:
The force of greed, nepostism and selfishness which the presidency most times benefit from.

Lemme take you back. I remember back then when Abacha was Head of State, there was rancour about bad petrol that was imported. The petrol smell so bad and it was horrible. Nigerians complained and Abacha had to intervene by asking whoever imported that petrol should be arrested. Investigations were bad and it was discovered the person who imported it was someone close to Abacha, that was how the case died a natural death.

So, what I'm saying is, people directly making this country difficult are people close to the government, and government taking actions against them might be a disaster for the government .

This is very funny to read, coming from you because you are one of those who mocked the efforts of your fellow Nigerians who aimed to carry out a political revolution in this country last election.

We consistently blurted out how voting labor across board will definitely flush out the cabal that has held this country in bondage seeing as the new government will know that it rode on the back of the populace to win and not because of any "powers behind the scene".

For example look at the elected labor party members today, more than 60% of those elected are first timers on politics, ordinary Nigerians who rode on the popularity of Obi and the masses to win their seats. No godfather sponsoring them, you think that if they had a significant majority, there wouldn't be something different from what we see now? They wouldn't be more incentives to kick against the forces that have held this country down? There wouldn't have been incentives to deliver results knowing exactly who put them there and gave them that power?

Please your hypocrisy stinks. You can't complain about "Cabala behind the scene" while you yourself campaigned and voted for that status quo to remain despite being warned.

WriiterNig:
⚡️🇷🇺 Putin expressed condolences to the families of those who died in the plane crash in the Tver region. He referred to Prigozhin as a person with a complex fate but acknowledged his talent.

Putin stated that the "Wagner" group made a significant contribution to the fight against Nazism in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, and this will never be forgotten.

Putin shared that he had known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 90s. While acknowledging Prigozhin's mistakes, he highlighted that he achieved meaningful results both personally and for the greater cause.

Imagine brutally murdering someone and then coming out to say all these rubbish.

Chai! At this point you are a very evil person if you support Putin.

You have witnessed his penchant for cold blooded murder to any opponent and you still stand with him??
Finally you guys are totally without morals. I wonder if any of you guys actually believe in God or go to church. Because I can't think of anyone who calls himself a Christian supporting a killer.

Not unless you're a hypocrite.

CrystalTiger:
Oga, where you from carry your "TORI" come 😕?

I'm seeing that there was another appeal court in Lagos who has ruled on the issue and awarded Apapa. I'm confused, can 2 different appeal courts rule on the same issue?

Ellexy:
What did he do wrong here? Did he insult his mother or grandfather here? Stop judging people unnecessarily. It's a free world, learn to tolerate and accept people as they are.

You don't need to be harsh. And actually, he did something very wrong there which I'm commenting on like everyone else on twitter.

He cut his grandpa and mum right in the middle of their speeches and said they should all walk out. That was highly highly disrespectful, you can see that via the expression on the mums face.

And talking about tolerance, I want to be sure that you're joking there because surely you can spot the irony.
Almost on every social issues or topics discussed here, I'm the one fighting the intolerance from you guys and advocating for tolerance from people here who seem to have a very hateful conservative mindset, whether against women in general, western values or LGBT people.
So that advice is definitely not for me.

Watching this, I really felt like slapping Burna through my phone.

This guy is a disgrace. See as him mama wan cry.

Am I the only one that watched Burna Boy’s interview where he literally denigrated and relegated his grandfather? His mother was shell shocked sef.

Then who the heck are you folks that he will not shred everyone of you?

All of us like this he will pieces us!

Why? Do you want to go back to the 90s and buy them?

Noo just curious. I didn't know that Nigeria had a comic book market. It's rare to have seen a Nigerian child really into comics.

How would you Putin retards reconcile the fact that you're all supporting a murderous dictator??

Putin routinely kills opponents but still this is something you all can condone. Political assassinations. Ask yourselves questions.

raumdeuter:
You should know why and where that came from. cos the text he referenced never mentioned it but he included it anyway for a purpose. I am sure you know the purpose.

Raumdeuter, may I please know which purpose you seem to imply here?

Spy360:
The question of good and bad is aged long.

No one can define good on his own because it is subjective. Even a moral atheist cannot answer this question.

So what do we do?

If there is no God (Supreme Being) then there is no justice on earth so then the question of good and bad cannot be answered. It is justice that can validates what is good against what is bad. It is justice that admonishes good and punishes bad.

The moral consciousness in you that drives the passion to do good is the God consciousness at work. He has also given us His moral code, our consciences that tell us whether we are doing good or not.

@ the bolded last sentence, therein lies the crux and contradiction of the issue.
The christian God seems very different from the Hindu gods or the ifa gods or the Baha'i gods and so on.

Look at this picture below, you can see the other biggest religions in the world. With each of them having different moral codes, some of which are in direct confliction with each other.
Pork is prohibited in Islamic religion but accepted in Hinduism and Buddhism. Cattle beef is accepted in Islamic religion but strictly forbidden in Hinduism.

I just gave you an example of a ridiculous aspect of Hinduism one where their gods direct the widows of a deceased husband to also burn herself together with her husband's corpse. Where is the God there?

As a matter of fact, I think the idea of a "God" with a set of rules for humanity is what is directly responsible for the inhumane standard of morality prevalent in many societies.
I actually think "God" (the man-made theological invention as a means of rationalising the unknown) is responsible for humans being "bad".

BlueRayDick:
What is this subsect of this Yoruba culture called ? Care to shed more light on this ?

Well, for me personally, this knowledge has largely been via nigerian media and anecdotal word of mouth.

There are various Nollywood movies that has presented this as fact, I vividly recall a certain "superstory" programme whose entire plot was centered around this particular tradition.

Also I've had a Yoruba associate of old confirming that this practice do happen in certain places in Ondo and osun.

But furthermore a little research seems to corroborate aspects of this as seen below.

From the front page.

[quote author=Penguin2 post=125325840]Yesterday I saw a publication by Tinubu’s propaganda blog, Podium Reporters, asking why Peter Obi has kept quiet while “Obidients” attack Kumuyi for “praying for Nigeria”.

But that’s a mischievous suggestion. Because Kumuyi’s condemnation was from all Nigerians.

Till now, I’ve not seen a single tweet in support of Kumuyi.


Besides, I thought they said majority of Nigerians voted Tinubu? Why didn’t that majority defend Kumuyi? Why is the voice of the ‘minority’ always louder than the supposed majority?

To Kumuyi….

Who has he been hearing from? Because it’s obvious it hasn’t been God all these years.

Or why does he keep issuing prophesies that never come to pass and people expect that we fold our arms and watch these guys lie to us all the time without consequences or their bluff being called?

These guys keep taking advantage of the gullibility of the majority of Africans who have faith without reason.

I remember when Adeboye once said he drove from Lagos to Ore on an empty tank, and people believed him. They didn’t ask questions about the possibility of such. They insisted it was a miracle that must never be probed nor questioned.

Wake up, Africa!

Wake up and see that these men are conmen who are feeding fat on your gullibility “In The Name of God.”

And they know that the day Nigeria gets her leadership right, and things start working, that’s the day they will go out of business.

Because 90% of things that people go to church to pray for, are things with temporal (physical) solution that requires no recourse to the metaphysical (prayers).

Name it:

Food

Job

Shelter

Visa

Capital for business

Success in exam

Cure for disease, etc.

These are things that a functional government will see to its adequate availability and thereby reducing the dependence of people on these churches and Daddy GOs.

It happened in Europe.

There was a time when the economy of Europe was in shambles and people depended highly on God, through prayers, for their daily survival. That period saw to the emergence of big churches and cathedrals where people went to pray.

But when European countries started getting their leadership right and their economy blossomed and government started doing its job of providing basic amenities and jobs that help people have a means of livelihood, the people realized that they’ve been seeking spiritual solution to physical problems.

The population in the churches started to dwindle until some churches became empty. And some of those churches started getting converted into warehouses for storage of goods manufactured in industries.

Now, these Nigerian, nay African, pastors know this story. And they know that if African countries start to get its leadership right, what happened in Europe will inevitably happen in Africa; and Nigeria is not excluded.

That’s why they keep supporting the wrong leaders and telling lies in the name of prophecy - prophesies that never come to pass.

Now, when we call the hypocrisies of these charlatans out, some people who are irredeemably gullible, hopelessly superstitious and still operating with animistic mentality, where every occurrence is attributed to the gods, will be telling us to “touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.” That’s the escape line of these charlatans.

Wake up Africa and take thine salvation into thine hands!

Seun, please why are you letting such hateful narratives thrive on nairaland? Take a look at this persons moniker and then read the content of his posts. These types of things shouldn't be allowed.

AuschwitzPrefec:
A fatwa was declared on Kumiyi and all other Yoruba Pastors by direct order from Nnamdi Kanu.

This direct threat to stay away from the SE was followed by series of insults directed at so-called Yoruba churches and Ibos who attended it.

At first glance this may seem as another racist attack on other Nigerians by the Zionists IPOB but the real reason boils down to a war on Christianity by IPOB for so-called Yoruba churches have strong holds in the SE and are encroaching on the surface brand of fake Christianity known as Catholiscm. We saw this with how Ibos who converted to Christianity by Baptist missionaries led by Ajayi Crowther will convert enmasse to Catholiscm after Ajayi Crowther was annointed as Bishop of the Baptist church in Nigeria. The Ibos back then preferred to be led by a white missionary than a fellow non Ibo African.

In Peter Obi's Anambra this tribal secularist discrimination came to a head with non Catholics being relegated to the fore. Anglicans, Baptists and Methodists as well as other Pentecostal denominations were seen as non Ibo churches to be shunned.

But as I said earlier their deeper more sinister reasons why Ibos hate so-called Yoruba churches which are basically all non Catholic faiths and that is because they offer deeper spiritualism which is in stark opposite of Ibo and Judaic materialism.

Kanu is on record haven stated his hatred for Christianity and by Christianity I mean every other Christian denomination outside the pagan soulless religion known as Catholiscm.

We know that Catholiscm offers flexibility in practice as long as you attend mass and make confessions every other two weeks. This is why many an Ibo was quickly decieved into both Judaism and a return to Ibo paganism.

So-called Yoruba church adherents among the Ibo are the last to buy into IPOB Zionist conversion or rejection of the church.

IPOB is more interested in social re-engineering the Ibo to full Zionism and the greatest obstacle to this are non Catholic churches that preach spiritualism above materialism.

So in a nut shell, there are racist motives behind Ibo hate for so-called Yoruba churches but in deep retrospect it is all down to ensuring all Ibos ditch Christianity for satanic Judaic materialism.

As an atheist who rejects the notion of a "God" and despises religion for it's role in the segregation and decimation of humankind, I'm always fascinated with the concept of morality across different societies in our modern civilization. Of what is right and what is wrong. How societies different from each other and how to look at and judge another society whose set of rules and morality are perceived to be of "inferior standards".

For example, in predominantly Muslim countries, you see a complete subjugation of women, for them it is embedded into the code of their morality that women are definitely inferior to men, so their set of laws center around the complete restrictions of women rights. Women can't vote, can't drive, can't obtain education, her dress as she wishes, has no choice in her choice of a marriage partner etc and the funny aspect is that there are a substantial amount of women amongst them who completely embrace this notion of their only role in society being to serve their men around them.

Away from the Moslem societies, you still have an endurance of archaic traditional inhumane practices that persists till today and has fought off modernization.

You have cultures in Africa where albinos and twins are still killed.
You have cultures in east Asia where widows are killed by burning together with the corpse of her husband. So if her husband dies, his wife has to die too. This practice is advocated by a subsection of the Hinduism religion. The British tried to end this practice but faced stiff opposition.
You can read about this here.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sati_(practice)

You also have this Colombian culture where young boys are made to have sex with animals before they can sleep with their first females.
You can read about it here too.
https://www.termpaperwarehouse.com/essay-on/Bestiality-And-Zoophilia-Of-Cartagena-Colombia/FJCY384WVNT

You also have a subsect of the Yoruba culture where a first son can inherit his father's titles, properties and wives including his own mother who becomes his wife.

When you see all these and realize that for these groups, tribes and people, they believe soo strongly that they are justified in what they do because it's all their people have ever known, it inspires a curiosity as I said earlier,m to the concept of morality. Is there such a thing as good and bad? If there is, who are the arbiters of what is supposed to be good and what is supposed to be bad? many questions as to the makeup of modern human civilization.

nihilistjnr:
Thats what Black Panther is for, and that literally had to have the backing of the MCU machine and charismatic leads in Chadwick and Michael B Jordan and piggy backing off the BLM movement and Anti-Trump Sentiment.

Otherwise there was very little interest in a Black Panther movie. OG comic nerds like myself have known of Black Panther since childhood when he was married to Storm from Xmen.

When I was growing up, the Marvel wonder metal was Adamantium which was what Wolverines skeleton was coated in, not Vibranium which really only gained prominence with Black Panther.

The big hitters then were Spiderman, Xmen, Cable/Havok/X-force, The Hulk, and maybe GhostRider.

Tony Hawk, and the rest of the avengers were B-league guys that would typically show up featuring in a Spiderman story. Iron-man used to have the deadest cartoon on the Cadbury breakfast TV roster those days, with Spiderman being number 1.

Robert Downey Junior literally changed the game for Marvel despite playing one of their deadest characters, facilitating an environment that would allow a super black IP like Black Panther to be successful.

Prior to that, nobody would be going for such Black film series, and I would be very surprised of we get another Black hero movie that is as successful anytime soon.

In the 90's where do you source your comic books from?

Spread of religion in Africa.

Poo-tins Russia where state sponsored murder is the order of the day.

monerozi5590:
Yahoo boys arrested in Rivers State for burying a new born baby alive. This yahoo of a thing has really gone fetish. So sad.

Where's the source of this?

sod09:
Yes he did, so unfortunate he couldn't hold himself
The coach is the next culprit there's a video of him grabbing boob of his female technical crew member 🤣🤣
These people will end us

I really pray you would use your hand to see your own contradiction.

Because if you acknowledge that indeed there is wrongdoing, then you blaming people who are asking for accountability means you actually support bad things.
I'm sure that if the man came out, acknowledge that what he did was wrong and apologize in a right manner, the whole thing will die down.

The aim of the "dragging" is to highlight the wrongness of these kind of actions. That you also think that it's only "feminists" your usual Boogeyman, that cares about injustice says all we have to know about your mindset. Seems like you hate people who seek to call out wrong.

Plainandpattern:
You are pathetic do you even think if its russia that did it? Cow brain, there are 2 planes one landed saftly and no one has an info about the members on it @donjazzet
And yes i support eliminating backstabber
Besides i don't think its russia that did it because there are currently attending BRICS meeting.. So for now everything is all assumptions.
And its likely its the west that did it because they have more to gain from this and it won't benefit moscow in anyway

like seriously, can you Putin retards get any more retarded than this?

Yeah, "the west", the ultimate Boogeyman, shot down a plane inside Russia not far from the Kremlin in Moscow?

You guys are ultimately lunatics. ;It's fun watching the turning and twisting. How would people would hailed Putin as being smart after the coup, calling it his strategic mastermind, twaddle back and talk nonsense?

How would people who spent months hailing prigozhin here and even hailing his presence in Africa now celebrate his brutal murder in broad daylight by their dictatoral lord and monster poo-tin?
It's really fun seeing the retardation from you guys.

Kingsnairaland:
The deal was for Wagner to stay in Belarus which he violated

Mercenary groups all now under the Russian army.

RIP prigozhin thank you for the great job you did in Ukraine

God bless putin God bless mother Russia

Biden the Satan associate that wants to bring world War three should be next.

Damn! This one is far gone!! Far gone into Putin's ass.

You spent months right here praising this prigozhin, even when the coup happened, you said it was part of Putin's "strategic plans" to put troops in Belarus. Now that Putin has brutally murdered 10 of his own citizens, you still suck up to his murder.

Such a damn shame.
So you have no moral compass! Anyways did I expect any from you guys before?

Plainandpattern:
I wonder why people are surprised about this, i feel indifferent about this news because prigozin actually betrayed Russia, Wagner is nothing without Russia support. Wagner does not belong to prigozin.
Lest we forget prigozin has always been bad mouthing the Russian government the guy is unstable abeg taking him out is the best option.

You see what we say, these poo-tin retards are nothing but amoralistic dictator cock-suckers_.

These are the hypocrites that would always lament about the west for one thing or the other and talk about how the west don't actually value rights, but these same putards cheer on the illicit murdering of political opponents by autocratic dictators.

Anyone who goes against the supreme leader should be murdered. Big fools. That's how you support these governments suppressing the rights of their citizens, hunting down those who speak against Putin or Chinese Communist party meanwhile when your own president blocked Twitter, you were lamenting to the highest levels.

HYPOCRITES! FOOLS!
Oya find one thing to blame the west for as usual while your lord Putin goes on his murdering spree.

raumdeuter seems like on this west vs Russia issue, we're very much on the same page.

I would like you to lend your voice to the pros of Western democracy against these Putin retards.

Putin is a murderous dictator. He has once again proven to the world why democracy remains the best system of governance.

Once a dictator is in power, he can do and undo and no one can do shit about it. He simply doesn't care about anything but his own desires.

This remains a stark warning as to why no matter what, democracy remains the best option for any society.

Watcharena:
f Kennedy was also murdered why was he not taken to court like amir Khan of Pakistan

I'm truly sorry to say this but this is objectively the most stupid and asinine reply I've ever seen for someone trying to defend a murderous dictators action.

First of all, what concerns the west in this?? Whenever Putin does something very terrible, the first thing, poo-tin retards want to do is false equivalence, find somehow you can justify with dredging up something else you imagine is as bad as what Putin has just done. Then where is your morals? What exactly are you fighting against? Or you just want to be an eternal cocksucker_ for autocratic murderous regimes and dictators?

Now unto the actual stupidity of your post, (I'm still sorry to be direct), Putin has just murdered his opponent, something he is famed for doing like any other autocratic dictator, if not fall by window, it's poisoning by tea or lock up in a jail cell with the key thrown away, now somehow you bring up the actual assassination of a former US president 70 years ago, like 7 whole decades ago to someone how counter the point of western democracies not killing their political opponents?
Like how daft was that, really, you be the judge.

Watcharena:
US can't strike a Wagner pmc boss

It absolutely can! Outside Russia. Wagner is not recognized as a government employee but a private military, Russia officially denies sponsoring wagner, which means if murdered in combat outside Russia, there can be no repercussions. No legal follow-through.

Any of you supporting murderous dictators like pootin, Kim Jung un, xi jingpin, ayatollah Khomeini etc, Leaders who imprison and murder political opponents and don't care about justice are all evil people.

If you support these murderous regimes, then you deserve to be deported to these hell holes.

You can't be criticizing the west that embraces all upon it's land and give equal opportunity to all and then embrace these despots whose societies are actively hostile to foreigners in their lands.

The name for that is HYPOCRISY!!

you are hypocritical fools!
