What you wrote; does it relate to what you quoted?

I've seen women from the West do the same only that they didn't lead to death.
Stereotypes are born out of experience is all I'm saying. Should it be so? Maybe not. But people from your tribe are ever ready to stereotype based on their experiences, and asking otherwise for yourself is the hallmark of hypocrisy.
CrimeRe: Woman Kills Housemaid In Owerri For Watching TV With Her Kids (VIDEO) by Dougad:
The tribe of progressives and with the highest literacy rate in the whole nation. Yet what do you see from them? Child trafficking - E full yafu yafu. Child Abuse - E full yafu yafu. Sex factory - Omi na only them get am. Glorified slavery - nobody get am pass them.

This na the tribe wey dey curse my tribe December 31st last year as being regressive for absolutely no reason other than that our women go out to work. Something I said I in the past that I'm yet to be proven wrong on is that the worst place to be born in the south as a girl-child is the South East.

This woman just wasted the life of a ten year old girl and for what?

There was nothing abused there. It was a healthy combo of pidgin and a non-pidgin, colloquial form of English. Could have been shorter. Thanks for the heads-up though


EDIT: Recent news just came in from Owerri about a woman who killed her house-help because she caught her watching TV with her own kids.

December 31st, one retarded Igbo from God-knows-where was saying that igbô are the least misogynistic tribe in the south and pointed blame at my tribe on Twitter.

I put fire on the head of this halfwît and his fans and none of them could provide a good retort except utilizing the block button because there know say there don jam rock. Worthless fûcks.

Now anytime I browse Twitter and see say person block me, check their profile and those useless "wicked Igbo feminist" tag dey their profile. Fûckjng fools think they can malign other tribes and we should just look at them smiling. You'll also notice how they'll act as if they didn't see this one. Even the Igbo man wey burn e wide no see traffic for Twitter too.

Before January even end, sex trafficking gang run by Igbos in the middle belt was apprehended, two men don kpai theîr wives from that side. Omo I sure say I Even dey forget some.

Dunce is there anything like uneducated illiterate? U are just a dumb kid trying to sound smart. The so called life expectancy conducted by WHO is based off of what exactly. U might be educated but Ur actually an illiterate. I have never had any one in my family die below 80+ except the one or two that died young due to circumstances beyond their control. So I don't live by standards set by people who know nothing about me or my history unlike U fool. Instead of U to speak for urself and Ur family U are tying everyone to a bias statistics by an organisation controlled by those who use it to their advantage. A fool U are and a fool U will remain forever. He say proper research lol uzwor 😂😁
You are actually the stupid uneducated worthless fûck trying to argue with your better on matters far above your depth. Your inability to comprehend that anecdotal data of your family does not invalidate research done in the country by various experts from the WHO to the NBS, which shows that the average age Nigerians live to with full health is 55, and in 9 years, they're already dead - an incredibly poor number when compared to the global stats. The existence of outliers as in your family's case, which I even doubt because the idiots who produced a stupid fûck like you certainly doesn't have the smarts to outlive the average, doesn't change shît. A simple glance at a bell curve would probably break your rétarded brain if you're already scoffing at the idea of proper research. What an incredibly stupid dunce you are!

Absolute bs. I have had grandparents both paternal and maternal who lived longer. Even my parents are older and live better and will still live better. That's a very unfortunate thing for U to say and wrong to use the term most. He was not even up to 70. Someone has an injection and it led to amputation and all U can come up with is it's the reality of "most" elderly people in Nigeria? I don't even have words for U make I no insult U for quoting me with this senseless bs this midnight hour. Nollywood actor might not be paid like their contemporaries in other parts but they also have different endorsement and he was not just any actor but a good and very popular one. Except he was actually living in poverty. U can't expect someone like Pete Edochie, or Ikem Owoh to name a few not to have at least one or two endorsements to their portfolio rn. Make Una dey comment with sense and don't just be jumping on people's mention cos U feel the need to prove a nonsense point.
I quoted you respectfully but you chose to retort like a fucking uneducated illiterate idiot by pointing out useless anecdotes as evidence.

What's the average life expectancy of Nigeria in the first place you fûcking dolt? Let's see if you're educated enough to do proper research and then get back. Stupid oaf

How can injection cause amputation? Well I didn't even know he's dead. Most of them always end up miserable only God knows 😔
That's the reality of most elderly people in Nigeria. I don't know why people expect that actors would fare better. I guess seeing them on-screen causes us to project a larger-than-life personality onto them even though they are not paid any better than the average person in the country, except for a select few.

Also Miuna Obiekwe's 10 years anniversary was this month. It's crazy how Nollywood quickly shifts from you if you are no more. Don't think I've seen anything about him in the media since January 2015.

Trump is about to unleash a new wave of conflict in the middle East that will take 100 years to resolve if ever with this action. But this is what America voted for. A second 9/11 won't be far off if he continues on this course.

TimeManager:
Terrorism is PDP's legacy, 16years and counting. If not for APC, terrorists would have overrun the whole country. This attacks happened in the lake Chad region which is the stronghold of ISWAP. As Nigerian Military is punching the teeth of Bokoharam, ISWAP, Bandits, Lakurawa, Ipob & co, may God grant us total victory.


-Kiss the truth!
If a party that has been in power for close to 12 years still blames the previous party for the calamity befalling the country, then they have failed.

APC was voted based on the promise of change and instead of delivering on it, they maintained the status quo of insecurity while at the same time ushering severe economic decline - the worst of a non-warring African country in decades.


Your party is a bonafide failure and you're nothing but a worthless, airhead swine for defending them.

This is why claims of sophistication from the South West will always elicit mockery from me. This woman did not deserve to die and I won't be shocked if bachelor-degree holders participated in her lynching.

We need a total overhaul of our education and traditional beliefs. Customs that have no marginal value to the society need to be completely eradicated. Such backwardness is not only dangerous to the psyche of young, developing minds, the consequences of which they may never be able to shed or overcome, but also kills. And I'm not talking about the South West alone, but the entire country.

Foreign AffairsRe: Manufacture In America Or Face Tariffs – Trump Warns Global Business Leaders by Dougad:
Konquest:
Indeed, if LOWER TAXES are offered for multinational companies that would eventually move to operate in the United States, then things might pan out right. On the other hand, to threaten VERY STIFF taxes on imported goods from other countries would also trigger a rash of higher taxes on imported American goods thereby nullifying whatever advantages Donald and his economic team are trying to achieve. So, each country has to find a BALANCE when engaging with international business entities.

These are the push-and-pull dynamics you get to encounter in international trade.
I do not even think the gains from the lower taxes Trump proposes would be enough to offset the cost of these businesses moving their operations from a country where they have already established a well-oiled manufacturing process while also maintaining significantly low overhead to a country with high cost of living where increase in labour costs is guaranteed and eventually will lead to a rapid increase in the price of their finished products. This increase in price will eventually lock their market reach within the US and they'll have to calculate if it's going to be worth it in the long run.

Empty platitudes to swell the heads of their stupid supporters. There's no brain between their heads and it has to be inflated somehow.
PoliticsRe: I Don’t Believe In Aid. I’d Rather Carry My Poverty With Dignity - VP Shettima by Dougad:
The west has provided aid upon aid to the global south for the better part of the last 60 years. The smart ones took advantage of it and utilized it for the betterment of their economy i.e., Indonesia, China, etc.

Dumb Sub-Saharan Africans, on the other hand, voted in dumb leaders that looted this aid and were subsequently fine with it because these leaders shared the same ethnicity with them. This man has zero awareness of where Nigeria lies globally. We have no audacity to determine if we need aid or not need it. It's nothing but useless posturing with no depth behind it to fool the brainless monkeys they lead.

This is not the 60s anymore when such utterances inspired optimism and hope for a better tomorrow. Regurgitating such nonsense almost 100 years later with nothing to show only draws ire from the citizenry you preside over - the smart ones, of course, because the vast majority are so stupid that I wonder how they don't sometimes forget to breathe - and elicits mockery and ridicule from its recipients.

What he should do instead is this: plead for aid and if they refuse, get on his knees and beg them to reconsider with the promise that it'll be used judiciously. And should they reconsider, thank them profusely for being open to the idea again despite years of misuse. Even the opportunity given to him to speak is nothing short of ceremonial because he has nothing of value to share except to passively serve as a blueprint on how not to run your economy to the ground.

I'm tired of the stupid posturing of third-world leaders and the stupid plebs that gobble it up.

It isn't rocket science. If you want to pose as a luxurious food outlet, then give the experience. I have had fine dining experience in some hidden restaurants and they charged fairly. Excellent customer service, good ambience, large portions, enough space...etc. Hilda's restaurant that you would literally be staring into the next customer is charging 6k for that kirikiri looking meal amd some people support it. She has to fix up or endup like the many Lagos restaurants who have gone this path.
If her online defenders are as many as her real-life customers, then honestly, I think she'll be fine. And they very well might just be. Who knows?

Hilda Baci selling 5 chunks of meat in coloured water as turkey pepper soup is tantamount to treason. That there are people supporting her makes it worse.

Nigerians want to replicate luxury services without doing the work.

Is it fine dining? No, it is not.
It is a small restaurant. The toilet there is like where the Nazis cramped POWs. Nothing superb about the aesthetics. It doesn't have a valet service. The parking space cannot take more than 12 cars.

Does she pay her staff excellently?
I really cannot tell of this one.

On what basis is Hilda operating a 5star restaurant to sell such in a plastic plate for N6000?

Growing up in average homes, we all knew how Mr Biggs meatpie and ice cream tasted. Slowly those things are becoming luxury. The last time I ate quality meatpie, the seller charged N2500 each.

No place to take kids to for free or N1000 entry fee. Even the beaches are not free for you to sit on the sand. Everything has been slapped with heavy entry fees and luxury tag.

You are not worried about this?
Kontinu!
Nigerians bask in and adore the atmosphere of faux luxury more than the actual concept of it. It's almost akin to, albeit a significantly minor version, that of the UAE where the marketability of their high-rise buildings solely lies on the shine of their exterior, but peeling down the layers would reveal zero foundation to support what it purports. It's a shameless mimicry at best but we're seemingly happy with it as evidenced by the large support she accrued this week.
