The difference between the two teams' quality is too wide.

WTF did I just watch?? Total domination.

They are all hustling for their pockets.

The country's progress is a secondary concern.

He has been recharged. Another recharge due in 4 months.

So many dumb idiots.

If the ruling class is exterminated, another set of ruling class will be created immediately. Chances are they will even be worse since they witnessed the extermination of their predecessors.

Colonial ruling class - Educated native African ruling class - Military Generals ruling class - Democracy advocates ruling class.

Look at how the Nigeria's ruling class has evolved since 1914.

No way Jorginho or Rodri is conceding 5 goals in barely 25 mins into an EPL match.

No way mahn.

Top 4 is pretty much sealed for this season. Correct?

Southampton is the real bottler. SMH.

Every Nairaland thread keeps proving the uselessness of marriage.

When the chips are down, the institution falls. Not worth sacrificing for TBH.

Borntowinxx

Get a life mahn and stop trolling.

But are these people blind??

Gallagher would be playing like a 12 years old virgin boy in the midst of adults

And yet these managers keep using him, I just don't understand

Chaos Causer you mean?

Advanced prostitution disguised as marriage.

Who are you deceiving?

Poverty should be on the list.

If one's partner becomes poor, it is enough reason to file for divorce.

Donjazet2:
I don't know what to believe anymore. I guess only time would actually reveal the truth here.

But the statement "this is a religious war" in and of itself is as factual as factual goes.
The only Christian of note in the APC is only Osinbajo who is just but a footstool. Every other position of power at the topmost level is occupied by a Muslim.

President select
Vice president select
Senate President
Speaker of the house.
Chief justice of Nigeria
National chairman of the party.


These are basically the most powerful offices in the country, all occupied by Muslims, so why on earth will APC Battstards act like that notion is a foreign concept??

We have seen that statistically, Christians in Nigeria are the most persecuted. I think some US government officials have said this in one way or the other.

But you cannot insult the Christians in Nigeria and then expect not to be called out for exactly what your party has stood for.

I see we have gotten to the "what's even wrong with the audiotape?" stage.

Baby steps. . .

Calling an election "a religious war" is Uthman Dan Fodio level of religious radicalism.

Far above Pantami, El Rufai and Buhari's level.

Another pertinent question is : if the audio is real, who tapped the phone call? Who and what else are they listening to?

Don't we have right to privacy anymore? This is scary.

Omo. In this country, anything goes.

Calling an election "a religious war" is Uthman Dan Fodio level of religious radicalism.

Far above Pantami, El Rufai and Buhari's level.

Foundation for investigative journalism says the audio is not AI generated nor doctored.

But I deeply distrust People's gazette so I'm still a bit skeptical.

DECOLONIZATION OF AFRICAN NAMES

"Names are marks of cultural identity. One's name identify where one comes from, the language one speaks and who one is. This is why Europeans have European names, Arabs have Arabic names.

Likewise, Africans have African names. Before the invasion of Africa by Europeans and Arabs with Christianity and Islam, Africans named their children with African names. In Africa, names are significant.

Names are not given any how. African names have special meanings. Africans give their children names based on events and circumstances that surround their births.

During slavery, African slaves were forcefully christened European names during baptism into Christianity while Moslem slaves were given Arabic names - names that DO NOT HAVE MEANING to Africans.

This is still being practised among African Christians and Muslims today.

Christianity and Islam were brought to obliterate African culture and one of the means of doing that is to give Africans Christian and Islamic names. Christianity came with European culture while Islam came with Arabic culture.

Religion is an instrument of cultural war. This is why African men and women who get converted to Christianity and Islam are given Christian or Islamic names.

European and Arab names are slave names. They remain the indelible marks of slavery because it was during slavery that Africans were forced to take foreign names.

In 1969, while in Los Angeles to tour and record Koola Lobitos, Fela dropped his given middle name of "Ransome" which he said was a SLAVE NAME, and took the name "Anikulapo" (meaning "he who carries death in his pouch).

A slave name according to Wikipedia is 'the personal name given by others to an enslaved person, or a name inherited from enslaved ancestors.'

In the 1960s Africans in the diaspora in the Americas who were seeking a reconnection to their African cultural roots changed their slave names and took African names.

Similarly, the descendants of Muslim Arab and Christian Europeans living in Africa have Arabic and European names which shows their roots. Our tribal names are our identity.

We must not allow them to be taken away from us. Let's give our children names in our languages in order to preserve our identity. For a man without an identity is like a tortoise 🐢 without a shell"

-- Afrikan Native via FB

Nice argument but you are forgetting an important point which is : Africans are poor and poor people usually don't have the abundance of choice or options when determining their way of life. Yeah, it's very good to have cultural and indigenous names but in a poor continent with limited economic opportunities, individuals must be careful not to take certain steps to sabotage themselves further.

I don't know where you live but I assure you that worldwide having a name easy to pronounce and remember can rapidly elevate a person's career and growth in the most unexpected way. So, as an African in a global economy, do not do yourself the damage of choosing a name that is hard to pronounce and hard to recognise. The opportunities are few, don't limit yourself further. For example, The lead actor in the recent HBO TV series The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal switched his surname to his mother's surname after he migrated to the USA and people began to experience difficulty calling him with his previous surname. Who knows he might not have become a popular actor if he didn't take that smart decision?

Of course, for a person in a country with a rapidly growing and industrialised economy, this might not be necessary as numerous economic opportunities will be readily available in their home country thus limiting the need to go extra mile to position themselves for opportunities.

Be pragmatic in your decision always. Even if you must give your children your cultural/indigenous name, choose the ones that are easily pronounced and recognised.

I remember watching Homeland in one hotel room in Auchi when I was still an Ajala. It was really good.

Sometimes I wonder why its difficult getting quality TV shows these days that are as good as the ones we used to watch.

Idea no dey again. To think of captivating story wey go hook people hard oh.

HBO still dey try small small sha.

Ibime:


All these CIA and Police series are not my thing

For example, when I watched The Wire, I'm not interested in the Police scenes but the street scenes

Gangs of London then?

I haven't seen it so I'm not recommending but a friend mentioned to me how violence themed it is.

Hon Doguwa would have gotten this seat easily without contest.

Unfortunately for him, he is fighting murder charges right now.

NW will get the HOR speakership. No doubt.

Itsrm:


Breaking bad by a very long distance.

I was still very religious when I watched it but I remember the season 5 keeping me out of church on a Sunday.

Notable mentions are

24
Squid game
Prison Break
Ozark Season 3

Haha. You Sabi.

If you like 24, no fuçking way you won't like Homeland. Seen Homeland?

izzou:
This Narcos makes sense, walahi

Pay recommendation fee.

Donjazet2:
With this, it has become apparent that these people just see the DSS as a political tool against opponents.. the way they soo nonchalantly tag the DSS to everything shows their hands.
Keyamo doesn't just see the foolishness of this.

I didn't watch the interview but did Datti Ahmed really say : "he'd prefer a military takeover to Tinubu being sworn in as President" ??

Someone said he did and I was shocked.

Theflint1:
Some series are slow, The Wire is slow, but if you can stick with it, you won't regret it...and watch with subtitle

The Wire is not even as slow as Breaking bad. It showed what it was capable of doing from the first season. It all boils down to personal interest I guess?

raumdeuter:


Any other ones will be appreciated

Give me a feedback on the ones I have recommended.

So, I can tailor my next recommendations to your taste and interest.

Itsrm:

Some series no matter how good are not just for you.

That was my experience with The Wire .

You are right my brother.

What's your personal GOAT TV series?

raumdeuter:


I just found The Wire on HBO Max

If I invest my time to watch it and its not sweet like you promised. Cos I get sucked in trying to make sense of a series so that I wont waste time already invested

The mods will ban your account for 5yrs at least

I watched Season 1 of Jack Ryan around the same time as The witcher. Did you ever try The Witcher?

What of this series 1859. Another creepy but meaningless one

I 100% accept the bolded. That's how confident I am.

No, I didn't try out The Witcher at all. I could have but I just didn't. I can't even remember why I didn't but it will remain that way. Never going to watch it.

I haven't even heard of 1859 before.

Donjazet2:


Where are you seeing this?
I thought billions has ended? At this point, it's gone on too long. Far too long.

The Rhoades-axelrod dynamics has been stretched far too thin.

It hasn't ended oh!

Yeah, I agree they are dragging it too long at this point but the actors are really doing a good job so I keep watching.

I guess you stopped at season 4? You probably didn't know Axelrod left the show at the end of season 5 and Mike Prince (a new character introduced in the 5th season) continued the rivalry making it a Prince-Rhoades dynamics.

Theflint1:
Watched only first and last... though for some strange reason I never finished Ozark, still have like the last 3 or so episodes to go.

Try out the rest. You won't regret it.

I haven't finished Ozark too. That makes the 2 of us.
