U got everything else right but this. Creative thinking has never been the exclusive trait of introverts.

I've met many stupid introverts. And I've met many intelligent, deep-thinking extroverts.

Introvert is not a synonym for intelligence. Day shdnt be over-hyped.

Look at the statement again.

If you need someone who will think outside the box by reflex, you'll most likely find that among the introvert.

You'll see that I said 'most likely' not 'always'.

Nobody should reply those who come here to say that this is a scam. Don't give them the privilege of getting your attention, that way you 'put them out of business'.

Any sensible person should first of all go through the previous pages to know how events have unfolded so far before making any comment.

It won't be far from the truth to say that the reason why some of the Islamic leaders fail to speak against these jihadists is because they are sympathetic to their cause.

When the 'custodians' of the doctrines of a religion don't speak against an act vehemently, the adherents will see it as something that is permissible.

That is what has made the fight against terrorism very difficult.

So OBJ now wants to chant the change mantra?
Change in itself is not the issue, rather it is the manner of change that is the cause for concern.
When the merger opposition party was formed, I looked forward to seeing something good coming out of it. I thought I would see a new set of people who really want to do things differently and bring true change but alas, it turned out to be a very big disappointment.

From all indications so far, there is nothing new in this merger, in fact, it has the potential of even being more lethal to our nation than the preexisting party.
A look at the kind of people who now make up this party will tell you so.

And the funny (and at same time annoying) thing is that they keep chanting the word 'change'. The question is, what manner of change?

When a group of people use the word 'change' and try to explain it as a good deviation from the norm but their actions fail to correspond with what they say, the whole thing becomes a mockery of the word itself.

He should rather invest his time in getting support for GEJ rather than focusing on buhari's case. I don't see him being disqualified. It won't be easy to pull that off at this time.

Nairalanders, we may soon call for donations to help some members on this forum who seriously need eye checkup.

How does that (31) look like 11?

There is a lot of insincerity in the way the president has been criticized. He has been called all kinds of names and blamed for things that are not even his fault. Suddenly he has become the worst person on earth to the critics while those who have done more harm to the country in the past have suddenly become saints. The case of pot calling kettle black must not be tolerated by any sincere person.

The other day, those from the opposition agreed with their man when he said that people should not judge him by his past records but they do not hesitate to judge the president by his past records. I mean, isn't what happened last year (or two years ago) already in the past?
If the opposition feels that their man deserves a second chance despite his bad past records, then the current president also deserves a second chance.
There should be no double standards unless indeed the critics are hypocrites.

These issues really need to be looked into.

The question any sensible person should ask is this: Are these present crop of politicians worth fighting for?

The answer is obviously in the negative.
But these youths (who are the supposed leaders of tomorrow) have chosen to be pawns in the hands of these politicians. It is a pity.

Why can't these herdsmen live quietly? They are always causing harm wherever they go.
How can you come into other people's town and cause them harm?
If these people take retaliatory measures now somebody will say that they are persecuting the herdsmen but the fact is, if you don't want trouble, don't start one.

6. Create a meaningful and thought-provoking topic, something that people can relate to, something that adds value to others, something educative...

I think every Nigerians should be allowed to choose the candidate they want to vote for regardless of endorsements from certain individuals.

People endorse candidates based on their own personal opinion of the candidate (which may or may not be correct)

Let no one be swayed by endorsements. Everyone has a mind of his own so let everyone make his choice.

It is easier said than done.

So in the end, someone still has to play the role of a female, right?

I thought that since they said it is normal, the (male) couple should be able to give birth by themselves and not go looking for babies born through the natural and God-ordained means of reproduction?

They are married so they should be able to produce kids from their union since it is 'perfectly normal'. Not so?

Pls stop givin GEJ "credit", d guy makes free calls!

Funny.

*This is my 1000th post on this forum.*
How time flies!

mymadam:
Interesting indeed! All of a sudden, the PDP appears to have become the party in opposition. What has happened to the legendary power of incumbency?

The president does not want to rely on that power because he wants to promote true democracy where politicians earn what they get instead of relying on the nigerian incumbency factor. You have to give him credit for that.

martyns303:
Frankly He's just being lazy.

How was he surviving before he got married? After marriage he relinquished basic responsibilities such as cooking, cleaning etc solely to his wife

These are the reasons why a couple should do chores together. Cos she can be sick, pregnant, had a baby etc.
I hope he appreciates her more after coming to the realization.

Guys your wife/fiancee/GF is not a machine or a paid maid, if you can't do all those chores. How do you expect her to do them all alone and she's the weaker sex?

Here's a few tip on how i share chores.

1. Follow her to the market, am terrible at pricing things so I don't even bother, but I carry the bags, by watching, I now know how much a particular item should cost on average. I can now help ones a while with market, tho she always say they cheated me.

2. Am with her in the kitchen, I help dice okra, clean fresh fish, blend tomatoes etc. Now am a pro in cooking.

3. We clean together, Saturday being a major cleaning day.

4. I wash my own jean, and help with hers, while she washes all our clothes that require hand wash, she is very meticulous. Boxers, bedspread, towels etc goes to the washing machine.

Like my mom will tell us her male children, "men don't NEED respect, it is women who need it, between a man and a woman, the man will always be respected, he doesn't need what he already has"

You have my respect. All these young men who think that doing all these stuff makes them less manly, need reorientation.

Tweeter needs to reward all these people who have helped drive traffic to their site in the wake of this election campaigns. No day passes without a tweeter war.

Even with the perceived wind of change blowing across the country, GEJ still stands a high chance because this wind of change is rather controversial.
One thing that makes it so is the set of people driving this change. These are people who have been part of the old system that has led us to this sorry state as a nation so for such people to turn around and begin the change mantra, one cannot but be surprised and doubtful at the same time.
Another point that brings this 'change' to question is the motive behind it. Even though it is claimed to be for the good of the country, one can clearly see that it is for selfish reasons. Can a conglomerate of aggrieved people who want to remain relevant be of any good to the country? That is the question in many quarters.

If anyone regards voting for the current administration as going back to one's vomit, voting the other way isn't any different than that too because there is actually nothing new from the other camp.

So this is a case of better the devil you know...

For all levels of government, save the stones, use your votes instead.
The stones may land you in trouble but only your votes can trouble the politicians.

What is the only thing that politicians always beg from you? Your votes! You've got the power!
Use it wisely.

This makes sense.

. . .

. . .

This is what Amaechi is saying: Listen up people, it's time to vote in a president who will fix everything with a magic wand within minutes and say 'behold it is done'.
We're all so excited that we can't wait! Come oh our Messiah.

Mtcheew...'I will do' is the favourite line of all politicians and he is not exempted.

The moral of all these certificate issues is that everyone should keep his documents intact 'cos you never know the day the spotlight will be on you and it will be required.

After all the tweeter wars, the only thing that matters is the people's votes. So let's keep it civil and see how things play out. The polity is already heated up.
Let everyone vote for the person they want but let it not be decided by sentiments or endorsements from anybody. Cast your vote as a Nigerian.

Vote because you want the best for the country.

A destructive act just for political gains.

Why people go to any extent to gain or retain political power is because politics is the best paying business in the land. Reduce the gains these people make from politics and you'll see that nobody will struggle for any position.
That is when you will see true 'selfless service' not now that a politician earns millions and tells you he's there for 'selfless service'.

dre11:
Am sure u and I know that APC is the main opposition party to PDP

And that's why this thread was created

Oh really? Am sure you also know that PDP is also playing opposition in some quarters.

dre11:
Am sure you haven't seen the hate campaign by the president and his party to the opposition that's why you posted this
Because if you are in 9ja and you watch AIT and NTA and read newspaper and see all the lies and propaganda the useless media men of PDP put you won't say what u just say....






Life is a reciprocal flow
What you give you receive in full measure, shaken together and runneth over.

I never knew that opposition only refers to the APC.

The way this certificate issue has been handled brings his integrity to question. Why all this beating about the bush?

A man of integrity would handle it this way: 'You want my certificate? Fine, here it is' And he will produce it for all to see thereby clearing every doubt.

But in this case, what we have is a picture of someone desperately trying to avoid or cover up something.
