Addme: The issue with Olubadan throne is that before they attain that throne,they are already Old. Imagine someone who took up the throne last year at the age of 89. After 2 or 3 years on the throne,they are gone. I think Ibadan people should do away with that system of Kingship and fashion out another way which would allow young,healthy and agile able men to get to the throne. Though the system is less controversial but it's archaic.
I know at least five people in the UK that came to Nigeria for major surgeries. As a resident in the UK, one thing I can say about the UK healthcare is that it is messy with annoying bureaucracy. It is easier to get Medicare in Nigeria than here in the UK.
marodan: Nigerian soldiers always behaving like immortal, why'll sensible human be walking on d road forming 007, na hand do touch una sorry but no rip. Hands up to d drivers, respect
You can at least be logical rather than sentimental. The incident happened while the Nigerian Army was having a 15km bi-annual routine march in the area. It is pathetic that a preponderance of Nigerians reason less, but type more.
MadamExcellency: Who is IGP when people call Presidents the same thing? Did Tinubu arrest Aisha Yusuf for calling him worst than that?
At least he should go to the court to defend himself. He needs to back up his claim on the illegality of the IGP position. Out of all the trending socio-economic issues in Nigeria, the only one that an acclaimed activist is concerned about is to attack the office of the IGP over an avoidable issue.
. Someone called the Inspector General of Police an illegal IGP and you consider that heroism. Unless they heed to public sentiment, the police as an institution and the IGP both have a strong case against him this time around. Sowore himself knows that he is confused. Out of all the problems in Nigeria, the only issue you have is frequent confrontations with the police institution. Adults don’t change though

Ironbull: 9 years is too long. 8 years should be maximum does he want to become Mugabe or what?
Abeg make we see road.
He was a prime minister. As a prime minister, you can remain in office for life as long as your party maintains its dominance and continues to nominate you as the PM.
Only two celebs would freak me in this world; Michael Jackson and Ronaldo. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see MJ before he died but I was honoured to see Ronaldo at a very close distance. Funny thing is that apart from the goosebumps, I didn’t even lose my steeze. I also saw Taylor Swift last year. Instead of being star-struck, it was her performance rather than appearance that gave me chills. Once we start treating those celebs like humans they will start behaving like humans.
In the UK, football fanatics are obsessed with anything football. They go to the stadium every matchday and even canonize the football club they support, yet people don't blame them. It is wrong to chastise people for what they believe in.
TempleHouse: Africans are stupid to talk about errors in foreign language.!
Yet, they're happy to clap for Oyinbo people muttering their language in a ridiculous manner.
Imagine if an Oyinbo man was taught your indigenous language for at least 15 years. I am sure that he is going to own it and even reinvent it. That English is not an indigenous language is not an excuse for making avoidable gaffes.
For many Nigerians, it was a pick between two bad choices. and they picked what THEY FELT was the less bad choice
Living under bulaba to them is much worse
You need to come to the UK to see for yourself. The truth is that the west is quite receptive to immigrants, but they only want talented immigrants and that is why the UK is doling out global talent visa for talented individuals. I don't have issues with people emigrating, in fact migration is part of human history. However, I would hate to support migration that is similar to slavery. I have seen Nigerians in the UK downplay racial slurs, accept disrespect and other derogatory nuances all in the name of japa.
APOPTOSIS: Don't mind Nigerians always ready to insult people. People made their choices to relocate. Please leave them to their fate. What's wrong with doing that job? People pump tyres in Nigeria.. People do security in Nigeria People drive sewage vehicles in Nigeria Why should I insult them. You may need them one day.
Even when I was working in Nigeria, I wiped humans despite occupying the highest stratum in the medical profession. It didn't reduce me in anyway. Medical Doctors in Nigeria manually evacuate impacted faeces from patients. Has it reduced them? The insults from us are just too much. Too many proud folks these days. Lazy youths that wouldn't want to do anything besides disturbing the peace of others.
It is quite illogical to drop your academic qualifications and professional experience just to pick up a blue collar job. Most people in the UK that are into care and security didn't even make it to the university. It saddens me when I see former bankers, lawyers, risk managers in UK doing menial jobs. How do we plan to transform our own country when the professionals are constantly going on exodus to the UK just to wipe ass. The painful thing is that these folks were comfortable in Nigeria
danvon: Imagine a man will spend millions, abandon his family, his country, his culture, his dignity just to go abroad and be wiping asses of old white racist men and women - they deserve to be insulted.
It hurts to know that Nigerians abroad, especially in the UK have accepted to become subservient and accept the most demeaning jobs. People proudly apply for care jobs and still get insulted. The annoying part is that people who were doing well for themselves in Nigeria left everything just to accept this denigrating lifestyle all in the name of seeking greener pasture.
The strategy is to heighten public sentiment and create distractions, which would reduce public scrutiny of the case. They are just acting according to the plot. The whole case would die naturally soon.
It bothers me that after significant investments on your education, struggle to get a job or even start a business, investment on your body (fitness aficionados) and years to acquire properties, a guy will still most likely end up with a girl with little or no substance. I am an advocate of a symbiotic relationship. It makes no sense for any guy to settle for less. The truth is that the difference between you as a guy and a girl is the reproductive system. We need to start deconstructing the societal gender narratives, it makes girls lazy and overly reliant.
Rebelutionary: And unfortunately Nigerians who should know better fall cheaply every time abi? We will trend it with memes and witty lines and at the end they just read our comments caustic or not and laugh at our gullibility!
There are just few of you with solid ratiocination. Unfortunately, democracy is a game of number.
tinubu and his folks are charlatans. It is hard to fathom that this same Shettima wore sneakers to a major conference before the election just to generate controversies. Tinubu was also speaking in tongues and suffered multiple gaffes before the election just to distract us. Shettima miraculously transformed to "best dressed" and Tinubu regained his demeanor after they both won the election. They know that politics in Nigeria has nothing to do with substance. It has always been attack on your personality to gain cheap popularity.
Dynamicboss: Doha Hammad matched the hype. I was there last year and the magnificence of the airport is breathtaking and exciting. I arrived Lagos airport and realized that our airport is no different from pig farm.
The Doha airport is a sight to behold. International travelers wouldn't appreciate the beauty if they only transit through the airport.
This is why Oyibo are better , they try to study something that can help them provide a solution for the problems bedeviling them, not just getting PH, D in the name of certificate.
How will his Islamic laws help Nigeria or the north ?
my dissertation was on religion and community development. You wouldn't know that religion and development are inextricable until you delve into it.
