You've not made a valid point my friend..

I'm sure I have.

ificatchmodeh:
Your confused mr man..
So the Easterners were the cause of jonathan failure..
Haba..see reasoning..
You see why I agree with the ibos atimes..you guys are really insecured.
So au many of those easteners have been jailed..since they milked the economy..
And why has your sophisticated westerners in the present administration not been able to pull nigeria outta of recession.. in which the ruling party plunge us

I mentioned easterners in his government and not the entire region didn't I?

The lady I quoted was the one who brought up the issue of Easterner and Westerner.

It is a matter of fact that the women closest to Jonathan's government helped him ruin his government. whether it is a coincidence that most of them were easterners is discussion for another day.

As to how many of the easterners have been jailed? You know the saying, the wheels of justice grinds slowly but surely. I just hope that when they are jailed you won't be the first to cry witch-hunt.

And to the recession you mentioned, I guess we'll have to keep reminding you guys that your hero was the one that put us in this mess. You really shouldn't be gloating when someone else is trying to clean up your mess should you?

The players are still on the field in first half you're wondering why they haven't won the match yet ?

Well you can't blame the president for trying to help his people. When a certain ineffectual buffoon was there all he did was drink spirit and share the money amongst his friends.

To clean up the oil spillage in the area so his peeps could have a livelihood of sorts became a herculean task for the mumu. Yet some misguided teenagers will come here and start shouting"hero". You'd think they were mad or something.

I won't blame Buhari if he attempts to help the herdsmen after all its a national problem. Whether that is right or not is another ball game entirely.

He should ask his boss when is he going to cut ponmo next.

MadamExcellency:
What an unrepentant fellow still repeating the propaganda that brought us into deep shit.

The only sin of Jonathan against the West was putting the Easterners in the positions of authority even without marginalizing or neglecting Yoruba Sons and Daughters.

The grave injustice that happened during Jonathan administration against the Southwest was orchestrated by Tinubu in denying one of their own the Speakership of the HOR.

So, stop vomiting trash.

The easterners he put in power were his undoing. They helped him fail even though we know the man didn't have an iota of leadership running in his vain. Just a complete buffoon he was and his eastern ladies took advantage of that.

They used the opportunity to milk the nation dry. So sad.

You don't know Yoruba history very well, the Alaafins did get away with a lot of atrocities before they are eventually removed. In fact they are rarely removed from office.

I'm actually writing a book concerning old Oyo empire and yes I've done extensive research. Of course there are abuses of the institution as there'll always be in any human institution, yet I think there are good aspects of our respective culture that can come to play in our socio-politico life in Nigeria.

Democracy isn't for everybody. The Arab countries seem to be doing well, and most of them are oil producing like Nigeria. They aren't practising democracy. Same with China and some other countries in the orients.

Even our colonial masters practise a form of democracy that's quite different from that of America.

A total overhaul of the Nigerian political structure is what's needed right now. Let's evolve our own. Who knows maybe ours would be the standard for the world in the future.

Can you imagine people are still stealing ballot boxes in this day and age.

As long as we continue this democracy stuff Nigeria won't make much progress.

My opinion though.

nijanigga:
see Japan, where only brain brings money.

Absolutely.

Most of us clamouring for another form of government dont know what we are asking for. Mornachy and military dictatorship are basically the same thing, if not even worse. Democracy is still the best form of government. You can never enjoy the relative amount of freedom you are enjoying right now under a monarchy where the king can see your beautiful wife on the street and claim her. If you are in doubt ask one of your grand parents if they are still alive.

The problem with Africa is that good people are avoiding politics especially church people.We allow our denominational differences from allowing us to form a strong political parties that can challenge for power.This is not the case with the USA.There you find people of different denominational persuasions: Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Adventitsetc; in the same political party coming together to achieve a common end.

We have more good people in Nigeria than we have bad ones. But when it comes to politics, we are nowhere to be found.So , we have to make do with what we have on ground.

I agree with most of your assertions. After practicing democracy for this long all we get is retrogression, and rabid politicians.

The people are worse off than when they we're under the colonial masters.

Our society is so fractured that to lead a reasonable revolution is out of the question.

If we continue like this, trust me it's only a matter of time before the military boys come back.

We haven't reached that place where we can be rest assured that such can never happen.

All we see are old impotent politicians deciding the fate of young virile men.

The UAE is not operating a democracy is it? Yet Dubai is a world tourist centre.

Maybe our democracy needs a lot of tweaking, where we blend the western style of democracy with our own style of monarchy. The result may be a pleasant surprise.

In the old Oyo Empire, if the king, the Alaafin commits a crime the people will demand for his head and traditionally he is required to commit suicide immediately.

Our systems aren't all backwards as such.

All I'm saying is let's evolve our own form of governance. We don't have to do it the oyinbo way.

If we are able to cut out the necessity for the arm of government called the legislature, that I'm sure will be nice.

I don't see the reason why a bunch of thrives and rogues should be making laws for us anyway.

nijanigga:
no by brother, where I dey native Indians are protesting against laying oil pipelines on their land, they know the effects of oil pollution.Nigeria without regulations, when small spill, in your farmland,your land don begin dey go be that. Ask ogoni people.

I'm in agreement with you.

Even apart from the spill, it has been discovered that mining natural resources makes the government lazy and unproductive compared with if they have to find other ways to sustain the economy.

I'd prefer an economy based on real manufacturing and trade than natural resources based.

She's quite pretty.

At least this is better than the tin contraption some people put together telling us they built a car or tricycle or something. Lol.

nijanigga:
Nigeria,the dead giant of Africa, while the rest of the world have bid bye to oil and exploring alternatives, Nigeria is building the second biggest refinery.

I detect painment here. Are you by chance from the land of the rising sun or from the land of the black gold?

If all these bullcrap is because some spoilt brat can't have his way anymore in manipulating our lives then I think it's time we tell ourselves the truth.

Inasmuch as we are grateful to Tinubu and others who fought hard to depose the satanic PDP party from maintaining it's strangle hold on Nigeria and Nigerians, we must insist that for this Democratic experiment to work in Nigeria they and other so-called big men of Nigerian political landscape should take it all down a notch otherwise everything will be ruined.


The fact that some select set of elites in the country can handpick leaders for us to follow sheepishly is unacceptable. The era of god-fatherism should have died with adedibu.

Frankly speaking I don't think African nations can do well under a democracy. Maybe it is time for Nigeria to metamorphose into a kingdom or an empire state the king should be chosen after a series of rigorous physical and mental hurdles have been passed.

A lot is expected of our girls these days to maintain a stable home and a perfect home to raise children in.

But with all these anomalies(apologies) walking around in micro-mini see through gowns on our streets, faces painted like everyday is halloween, chasing after money and the"snake in our trousers"like their lives depended on them, I can only pity those of us yet to get married.

If only one can find a woman with just half the qualities raised by op, then a man will be rest assured that he has a partner who's got his back.

Watch as most of our ladies here will protest this image of a virtuous woman in favor of a hard-ass, trouble-seeking, man-hating profile.

fumisko:
And he should do what in return
It's always women sacrificing what they want, how the want things to be done to please a man
So unfair
We came out from the same sperm
I have feelings am suppressing too to please him
While he sits as the boss

Lol. You sound like a feminist or a feminazi.

Have you ever wondered why the Bible presented and made very prominent the image of a virtuous woman and not a virtuous man?

OP I understand that the amount of money might be quite substantial to you and you feel let down.

You should let it go. That she hasn't paid you back doesn't mean she duped you. Have you considered whether she has been dodging you because she doesn't have that amount?

Then you went ahead and cursed her? I'm almost tempted to ask how old are you? But I won't ask.

If the amount of money is such that you can forget I'll advise you to send her a message that you realise that maybe she is having a hard time paying back and that she shouldn't bother. And wish her well.

Life's too short to harbour grudges. Besides you don't know if 20years from now your child will need a life changing favor and she'll be the one to do it.

N2000 may seem much to you now but in a year's time it won't really matter anymore. But ouve already cursed her.

step1:
I am a man and I can't imagine betraying my wife because of a house maid.

Some of you lack serious self control. If you can betray your wife with a house maid please brother DON'T MARRY ! NO BE BY FORCE

Puhleeze...! Spare us.

Stronger men have fallen in the hands of these jezebels. You think it's by your power or goodness?

Just be grateful that God still sees fit to grant you his grace otherwise...

Some men would have finished raping their 15year old maid before their eyes will clear.

Personally I'd rather get into the kitchen with my wife and do the dishes or something than get a maid. Nobody is above temptation.

This is just perfect. I couldn't have written it better myself.

I wish all married women would frame these points and hang it on their bedroom wall and read it every morning.

Getting a maid has become a legitimate reason for many women to abandon their duty post in the home as mother and wife.

azeecoboy:
i'm not sure if i'm quoting you o..
But if eventually you are the one,then LMAO...

Iseoluwani:


When you mis choose

may God save us from lazy girls.

azeecoboy:
I sat on my phone and my phone' screen got broken..
Am i on nairaland or facebook??

You're on e-bay. You're about to auction yourself for $5.

Don't give up.

Because their own parents compared them to other kids when they were younger.

Superman.

EfemenaXY:


They're like flies, I tell you.

The family section is suffering from a chronic infestation of juvenile, deliquent, online scammers.

I noticed it too.

Acheron:
Don't spoil this moment for me

OK chief. I'm backing off now and letting you do your thing.

Would have given you a great advice guaranteed to make you feel a lot better but unfortunately you didn't give us detail of what happened.

Try and narrate how exactly it all happened.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "like mother, like daughter"? Well trust me your long distance ish has prevented you from noticing the same in your fiancé.

Speak with your significant other face to face about this issue and see how she responds.

Acheron:
What d-day? You think too far. This is all just "play"

Yeah I know. It all starts as play right?

Iffffffy:
I am

Well nothing to be ashamed of. You can always shed it if you wanna. And if you don'twant to , I'm sure you're living a healthy lifestyle already right?

LadyMercedes:
Well, for one thing, I'm short... 5ft3. So, I love my men TALL!!! At least 6ft3.

Tall guys look more appealing.

Imagine Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Leo Messi standing side by side. I'd pick Ibra, any day, any time!

5ft3" ??
