Nigerians always stand out outside the country. We hinder ourselves by not providing the needed environment and support for us to harness our potentials.

Have you got brilliant ideas? You are most likely not going to get the needed support and encouragement in this country.

We have wasted a lot of talents on the alter of politics, tribalism and religion.

This is the root cause of our sorry state.

Everything must have a touch of suffering. That's our country for you.
Not cool at all.

It's a good idea but let's look at the other side.
If people can fake medical reports then what makes this one immune to such manipulations?

These are desperate times for politicians and they can do anything to achieve what they want.

This is not peculiar to only ladies, men too are involved.

OP, I think your choice of words awakens an evil curiosity in the minds of people.
Your words, though few, are a little too graphic and more suggestive than corrective.

That's the problem with all these kind of talk. In an attempt to correct an evil, people go into detailed description of the act. It is counterproductive.

These kind of scenarios of action and conspiracy theories are best enjoyed as movies but when it becomes real and begins to happen close to home then we may have doomsday on our hands.

The matter should be thoroughly investigated.

It must really be a difficult time for you.
I don't know the right words to say now.
Remain strong.

Accept my condolences.

It was not their choice to be born out of wedlock.

They are as normal as any other person.

They should be judged by their own conduct and deeds not by that of their parents.
One shouldn't mistreat or judge someone badly because he was born out of wedlock .

And for those born out of wedlock, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself.
It should not stop you from pursuing and achieving your dreams.

Ma major problem has always been zeal to finish what I started. I always come with a wonderful idea but along the line I will just push it aside. Started a novel in 2011 and have written it till chapter 4 only to abandon up till now. God help me

I found this website which I think will be of help to you as regards finishing your novel.
Find time to browse through all the pages.

Ok. Manifesto noted.

1one:
Very Very insightful piece.

In organizing one's idea, could you please crystallize that concept a little further?.

I know these are wonderful ideas and concepts but they are just lying there scattered.... So how can I organize my concepts properly..

Do you suggest I get a Fancy book and pen and transfer all of them inside by hand-writing?

Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy. Find time to go through this article. It should be of help. Follow the link.

Raypawer:
also beware of information hijack, esp in Nigeria!

Can you explain more? And also try to contribute without quoting the entire text of the original post. Thank you.

Your parents always took the first position in class

Cool. I love good music. I'm sure they've got quality sound set-up in this program. A good sound production makes me happy any day.

I'll attend one of these days.

Enoquin:
This is an interesting and educating article eleojo23. I would have added more but my thumbs are dead from typing.

Get off your butts people and start something.

Thanks for dropping by. It's never too late to add your contributions. Feel free to do so whenever you can.

Not a good experience.

But what's with all these sex-related stuffs on the front page?

Enugu is actually a beautiful city. One of the cities I admire.

Enugu is actually a beautiful city.

I agree with the OP.
Many people visit this site because of the intelligent comments they can get but when that is no more available, they will stop visiting and that results in loss of traffic (something that the admin desperately needs)

Very unfortunate

Let this election come and go already. Tired of all this political noise.

A man without self control is like a city with broken-down walls.

gneisss:
.oky...why is every topic making front page? and the speed this mods are putting up stuffs eh just got me wondering tho...peeps are jus commenting Nonsense everywhere... Like dis one now wetin una want make person talk

Unfortunately, the admin is more interested in traffic than in the quality of comments.
Yeah, he needs to get more traffic for the growth of his business but let quality not be sacrificed on the alter of traffic.

Many people visit this site because of the intelligent comments they can get but when that is no more available, they will stop visiting and that results in loss of traffic.

So the admin should strike a balance.

hydeka:
Good one.

Thank you.

The way Nigeria has been able to survive amidst all odds is something to be admired.

Many of them(other countries) can't just understand this country called Nigeria

We have such a huge global presence and we carve a niche for ourselves wherever we go.

*knocks to those who give us bad name*

We will continue to thrive. Go naija!

ce4eva:
Obviously, they're after their own selfish interest.

Yeah

Whenever these people(politicians) talk I don't know whether they are actually concerned about the state of the nation or they are just doing so for their own personal political gains.

From what I see, all of them (ruling or opposition) have been playing politics with the whole thing when they are all supposed to join hands to fight this evil.

Those guys have always been like that.

Out of the 'north' always springs something weird and notorious.
There is something about that location 'north'.

Her action is condemnable, however, circumstances that led to the act should also be considered in passing judgement.

They are only fighting an outcome. If the issue is not tackled from the root and this practice of forcing kids into marriage continues, I'm afraid we are going to hear about more desperate acts than this.

Yeah, I know

Kanwul:
Just keep dreaming!
Followed by "fasting and praying" for the almighty "BREAKTHROUGH"!

^^Keep dreaming? The point being made here is how to step out of that dream zone and make those dreams reality.

Prayer and fasting? Yeah we can't overlook the role of spiritual support but that alone without any action on your part only keeps you in the dream world and need I mention that you will also lose so much weight which may pose a threat to your health?
