jesmond3945:
you are blaming buhari for all the problems in Nigeria.
Of course he was elected by Nigerians to rule for another four years. If Nigerians didnt vote how would have been the President? If you wanted him to retire then you would have voted for Atiku.
Buhari has never accented to any deal with Uk, only with China. He only goes there to rest.
A government provides enabling environment and dangote is building a refinery.
Key into buhari's agriculture road map and you would be glad.

Nigerians elected him yes (even though his election and reelection are marred by controversy but that's a talk for another day)

Blaming the problems on Buhari ? Who should i blame? My Dad who is retired already ?
Buhari created and is still creating us problems through is action and inactions. Look at the divide in Nigeria today. Buhari can be directly blamed for that. (95% vs 5% comes to mind. So low of someone who calls himself a president )

Deals with China or Uk or any other country. How is that different from the fact that he is mortgaging our future ?

And hear yourself . He goes to Uk to rest.
Really? So after putting unrest in his own country he runs away to rest in another mans country. How many times have Boris Johnson' come to rest in Nigeria ? You should be ashamed for mentioning this

Which agriculture ?
The one he is colluding with Fulani herdsmen to kill and destroy ?

Abeg tell me something else

jesmond3945:
as usual personal against your leader and he is even old to be your dad. Uk leeches off african nations and everybody knows that. Yes Uk is a developed country, enriching itself from corrupt and blood money and would crumble soon enough thats why they are grapling with brexit for over 4 years.
Anyway, we have our peculiar problems and buhari has no magic wound to change things but he is trying. Key into his dream of Nigerian being a self sufficient food basket and you would be glad.

Old enough to be my Dad? Well my Dad at Buhari's age would have retired and i so advise Buhari to retire too cos guess what? He's not there outta love but for personal reasons.

Uk leeches off Africa cos of leaders like Buhari who doesn't care about his people but about his personal gains. Ready to sign any deal jus to please his white masters and perpetuate himself on power.

Buhari doesn't jus have a magic wand, he is compounding our problems, borrowing and mortgaging our future with little or nothing to show for it. Where is the refinery he promised to build ? Where are the hospitals after all the money he budgeted for about 5yrs now ? He can't even treat himself in the hospitals yet he still budget billions on them yearly. You can guess where the money is going..

I don't expect Buhari to fix Nigeria in 4 or 8 years, but i expected to see work in progress. To see hope.
But guess what ? Things are getting worse. He's talking us back 50years behind.

Killing all the institutions he met on ground, judiciary, freedom of speech and press freedom.

Buhari is a scam and either does not mean well for Nigeria or doesn't know what he is doing.
Either reason he doesn't deserve to remain in that seat..

Sell this country already and give me my share.
I'm sure I'll make a wiser investment than Buhari

jesmond3945:
ability to feed is not a developmental index but how many of your citizens are in the middle class. The amount of rough sleepers are going up daily. Ask the SNP.

that'll tell you how deteriorated ur country and society is.

People can't even feed talk more of getting into the middle class.

This argument is self-defeatist

People are getting poorer and poorer and you're here making a case for a man who cares no more than his family's interest.

Don't compare ur country with UK bro.
I'm sure if you have the opportunity u wouldn't think twice to jettison Nigeria for same UK.

Even ur president with all the resources at his disposal still thinks everything white and British is better than all the facilities in his Aso Rock..

Ur president has a low self esteem.. deal with it..

jesmond3945:
there is pervasive poverty in britain at the moment now ask jeremy corbyn.

UK has gone beyond the level of citizens not being able to feed.
Nigeria hasn't.

I probably know better about UK than you do.
I've spent a good number of my years of life hear.

Tell your president to fix his hospitals and stop running to UK for the slightest headaches

jesmond3945:
boris johnson has more cash in his offshore bank account than your country combined. Simplicity is their culture that doesn't mean they are not brutal when it comes to money.

you're right. And his country is the poverty capital of the world too.

Your head get oil

jesmond3945:
op don't be a mumu.

yeah.. how dare the Op challenge ur God?

MelesZenawi:
Leave Buhari and talk about your local government chairman.

why

This is the sitting room of Mr Boris Johnson. The Uk Prime Minister. The country where our own president likes to take vacation, and most shamefully yhe the country where he goes to seek medical attention .

Take a look at the simplicity of his sitting room. Just look at that take look at that table and the clothe covering. Yet he governs a country richer and more powerful than ours.

Can you even imagine an ordinary local government chairman in Nigeria having such a simple sitting room? No right ?.

Sometimes i wonder what goes on in Buhari's mind when he realizes that the President he has gone to borrow money from actually rides in public aircrafts, yet he had just came in his presidential air fleet just to beg.

Has Buhari built any befitting hospital yet?
Atleast for himself and his household so he'd stop going for medical tourism in the UK.
Oh i forgot he jus went for yet another "private visit".

Imagine Buhari ruling Nigeria for 8yrs and yet still preach to us about his integrity. About how he would stop medical tourism and make Nigeria second to heaven.

9ja i hail thee

Suffer nor dey tire we?

Ask me about braces.

igbodefender:
First car she is owning? What has she been doing with her salary?

she lived in London and cars aren't necessary there for the most part. Subways take you to ur destination faster than private cars.

they used boko haram and violence to get to power and after that what next ? they're using the power to destroy themselves..

Its simple game for the bandits. Kidnap 20 people and keep them hostage incase they catches your members. Then ask for 100million naira (compensation for capturing ur members) and unconditional release of ur nabbed members.. Use the money to buy more weapons and the vicious circle continues.

[quote author=lathrowinger post=82087643][/quote]why are you being unreasonable.
Khafi is yoruba yet he jus said she's his favorite housemate. when would bigots like you grow up ?

XhosaNostra:
It's pretty much standard for everyone. Your extended family are your grandparents, uncles, aunts, COUSINS etc. Not everyone lives in some kind of a clanish hive where everyone is related. Date someone you aren't related to. Period. Must you keep it in the family?

if this definition is the standard then everything I've opined up there is consistent with yours.
Everything up there is definitely outside this scope.

By Cousins I'm sure you mean first cousins but I'd also like to include second cousins too..

XhosaNostra:
I'm talking about your extended family & not some wonky theory.
Dude, I'm not here for lesson. Look up that word if your question isn't rhetoric.

that's it exactly.

How extended is "your extended". there has to be a proper definition of the boundaries.
Otherwise people from same villages are in one way or another connected hence can never have anything together.

XhosaNostra:
Maybe the person who wrote this practices incest themselves. Why on earth would any normal person date or marry a blood relative, no matter how distant up the family tree it is? Kissing cousins end up giving birth to children with deformities. I can imagine how ideal it must be to welcome a bundle of joy, with all his or her 3 eyes gazing lovingly at you.

"no matter how distant"? All humans are believed to come from same parents.. and yet your parents married themselves. people from same village for example are believed to have descended from same ancestor yet they find ways to marry themselves.

And what's ur definition of blood relative ?
Someone very far in relational lines can never be defined as your blood relative in any sense..

I stumbled into this information because I was kinda worked up about the fate of my relationship with a partner I consider ideal to walk down the aisle with..

She is supposed to be somehow related to me even though I can't trace exactly how. (legends have it that her grandmother was married from my Umunna. And I can't even trace how many generations of cousins-ship relationship I have with that family her grandmother mother was coming from). We are supposed to be umunna no matter how many generations that have past.
And so finding this important information below has helped me become more resolute on my decision to hold on to her.
Wanted to share it too cos you never know who maybe going through this dilemma too.

And for those who wants to talk about how it contravenes culture or how western cultures is different from ours, I have this for you. Remember that culture was made for man and not man for culture. Hence culture can be adjusted in cases where there are not harmful consequences. We are supposed to be more informed than our forefathers who founded those cultures

A study finds why marrying a close-but-not-too-close cousin is the right move.


It’s legal in all 50 states to marry a cousin who’s your second cousin or further. But according to a new study out of the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, it’s not just legal, it’s smart. And you’ve got to trust Iceland to really know their cousin marriage stuff; people are at *such* a risk of inbreeding in Iceland that couples check their names in a database before they get married to make sure they’re far enough away from each other genetically.

The researchers found your third or fourth cousin isn’t just safe to marry — they’re your ideal partner. So go start shaking those branches on the other side of the family tree and see what falls out.

Third and fourth cousin marriages are the, quote, “best of both worlds.” They’re breakfast food for dinner. You avoid the inbreeding risks of closer cousins, but your genes are just close enough that they naturally work well together. And as a result, marriages between third and fourth cousins produce more children and grandchildren than other couples.

Also — and we’re going to diverge from the study here and just talk like buddies — once you get to a third or fourth cousin, things get less “creepy” than you’d think. That sounds like a close relative, but it’s really not. A third cousin is someone who only shares great great grandparents with you. It’s the child of one of your parents’ second cousins. (Your fourth cousin only shares your great great great grandparents.)

There’s a good chance you have third and fourth cousins you’ve never even met. (As I’m writing this, I couldn’t name a single one of my third or fourth cousins. Not that I want to marry any of them, I promise; just to illustrate the point.) You may’ve accidentally dated one already. That’s enough distance that the old joke “you’d save money on wedding invites if you married your cousin” barely rings true; the overlap probably isn’t that significant.

That being said, your third or fourth cousins are juuust close enough that dating one will be at least a somewhat rebellious gesture against your parents — it’s “best of both worlds” in that way too.

So it’s settled. We agree you should marry your cousin. Go track down your third or fourth cousin and go out for a cuisine that doesn’t match your heritage (just to avoid potentially awkward conservations about old family recipes).

And finally, here are some notable people who’ve married their third cousins: John Adams… Charles Darwin’s grandparents (and then Darwin married his first cousin)… Queen Elizabeth II… Rudy Giuliani… Thomas Jefferson… Robert E. Lee… and Jerry Lee Lewis. Look, there are some low cards in that deck, but the point stands.

Corrosiveman:
I Disagree
Break up is the Only solution
Remember when the government said an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North.
Now we have Shittes
Very soon Saudi Arabia and Iran would be
fighting a war in Nigeria via Proxy
If the government says no to restructuring then Break up is the Only solution

you're smart brother.
proxy way is load in the northern Nigeria.

Iran is strategically watching

midolian:
Tinubu is right to have mentioned that bastard Evans! Why are the Igbos quick to point fingers at the herdsmen whenever a crime is committed?

The fulanis don't have time wasting, hating on you Igbos.

To hell with whoever isn't pleased with my comment!

was it Igbos that accused Fulanis Herdsman of killing the lady in question or was it the yorubas ?

Northern states should spend more on schools than on mosques.

This is the most effective way to contain religious fanaticism and the resultant bokoharam.
Way to go!!

Mace0lane:
No wahala, I know many more PDP lawmakers will be unseated using this same manner. We should all put hands together to make Nigeria beta. What is good for the gander must be good for the geese whether PDP or Igbos like it. Na by fire by force now. No fool anywhere.

what has Igbos to do with this?
Is that the height the hatred have gone?

Oshomole should tell Nigerians the source of his sudden wealth.
What business did he do that he was able to afford that castle he built in Edo state (a project he was only able to do when he became a governor).

Oshomole is one of the most corrupt politicians in Nigeria

ImperialYoruba:
Hahahahahahaha.
Prove it, hire me!

I don't have to hire you to prove it.
I can hire you if you're gonna be any useful to what I do. Meanwhile inbox ur CV.

But the condition is you must quit defending the failed government of Buhari here. He has affected businesses negatively with his mediocre "trial and error" economic policies.

OfficialAPCNGR:
Hehehe why is my party the APC bothered with the 5%

seems APC care more about the 5% votes now..

Sorry zombie

ImperialYoruba:
My monthly benefits alone at my job go pay your salary for a month, not to mention my basic income a month.

Im a remote worker. Do you even have a clue what that means?

blah blah blah..
You're obviously jobless and living of a 30k monthly stipend.

Don't compare us Bro. I don't earn salaries. I employ
