PoliticsRe: Tinubu, APC Betrayed El-Rufai – Imran Wakili by epainos:
AMINDA:
Not in the North. The North gave him 5.6m votes (65%) of his total 8m votes and he has Elrufai to thank for that. He lost the South woefully to Obi despite rigging out Obi in states like Rivers and even Lagos.
I laughed at most of your comments.

A supposed wise man can be extremely stupid that even the unwise will say... ha ba! Lol!

All through the 8 yrs tenure of ElRufai, he took jabs at Tibunu. He even told Aregbesola publicly to dethrone him and that Tinubu is lucky he is in the south. Lol. But just before the election, the man who ignored all ElRufai's attack quietly sneaked into his good book. And ElRufai too took the bait. Hahahaha. If I hear that ElRufai is wise .....lol...even now, the illitereate northerners are wondering....how na? How come? Na so e dey be for oerson who sabi everything in his mind. Lol. He has caged ElRufai and he wont say anything till Tunubu leaves office. Mark my words. He will understand why Ambode can't talk. Lol.

Will El Rufai say he doesnt know about Akerele Bucknor and Femi Pedro who Tinubu mercilessly dealt with? If he was aware of those ones, was he not aware of how he put Fasola into the back seat, but Buhari was the one who went for that one? OK. Lets say he was blind to that too, dem plaster his eyes and he didnt see how ruthless he handled Ambode who was his colleague and wom the seats at the same time. While ElRufai was returned for a second term, did Ambode return?

So, keep deceiving yourself. Those who know that man told everyone the truth, but una no take them serious. See, I am telling you and go write it down. Tinubu has taken over the whole of Nigeria. Thats his modulus Operandi. He will NEVER force people, but the key people who matter are in his side.

He will get that next election, as its even a walk over for him. Baba used grab am and run away" for winnthe first when he was not in power. So, now that he is in power is when you will defeat him. I laugh so hard at you.

And let me tell you, he is the one who will install the person who will succeed him. And very likely, its Ribadu. So, ElRufai is finished. Take it or leave it. He is done politically.

If you dont agree, then, goodluck!
Foreign AffairsRe: US Bombs Iranian Power Plant, Nuclear Sites Over Death Of Soldiers by epainos: 8:36am On Jul 21
Sharing the same nation with this person is disturbing and terrifying. Thisnis exactly what they want to turn Nigeria to. Thank God the US has voiced out and labeled them terrorists. As in....is this not the same pattern?

God help Nigeria...Amen!!!

Razzness:
Lol! anytime I see this kind of news i just laugh. You see this war of attrition, is exactly the kind of war that plays in Iran's favor. They will drag the US through 5 miles of mud in this kind of war. Iran will burn the entire US gulf allies before they go down. This is a fact.

You see that Kharg Island Trump is ranting about, he will not know loss until he makes the mistake of sending ground troops.

When I even understood the US was not serious was when they burned 100-million-dollar aircrafts to rescue a downed pilot in Iran. So you wan follow pig fight but you dey fear to stain you white cloth. You never ready!
Razzness:
The point is, if you go into a war with the mentality of not willing to take losses, to the point where you can sacrifice 100-million-dollar planes and helicopter to rescue just one pilot, then you are not serious.

You are fighting a country that believe in martyrdom and are not afraid to lose 1 million people and you are here jumping up and down because one pilot was downed. How do you win a war with that kind of mindset.

You think if Ukraine were to down a Russian pilot, Putin will sacrifice 100 million dollar planes to rescue him? Na lie o, you are on own. They will move on and use those planes to continue fighting until they win.
Razzness:
At the risk of sounding insensitive, i will tell you that the only people that will cry are the families of US soldiers that will not return home, the sick people on life support that will die when Iran starts bombing power plants of US gulf allies, the civilian casualties and the average people who are just trying to get by with their families when they pay high prices for petrol, gas and fertilizer.
Razzness:
The same doctrine is the reason they haven't won a single war since World War 2 (which they joined after the allied forces have done much of the heavy lifting).

Any country that believes one soldier is worth more than a 100-million-dollar war machine is doing a clown show. This is just the brutal reality of war, if you don't want to lose soldiers stay at home.
Razzness:
This is where the problem is. You people (including the west) seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Shi'a and by extension Iran society is all about. When it comes to fanaticism, Sunni Muslims dey learn work for where Shiites dey. Why do you think Saudi Arabia is afraid of Iran?

These are people who believe in martyrdom. They celebrate and idolize their people who died in war. These are people who congratulate mothers whose children died in war for winning the lottery of the "hereafter". And somehow you think they are going to capitulate to the US because their supreme leader (who is now in Shi'a "hall of fame" ) and a number of other people were killed. You must be joking.

If the US couldn't defeat the Taliban after 20 years of trying, why in God's name are you be under the impression that they will defeat Iran in 4 months.
Razzness:
The US doesn't need to complain for us to know that when you place a higher value on one soldier to a 100-million-dollar war machine, you are just doing a reality TV show to entertain your audience. If you are not ready to lose soldiers in war stay at home.

The gulf state can't do jack squat to Iran. In fact, the only gulf states Iran is sparing now are those that went through backdoor channel to negotiate with them to stop bombing them.
PoliticsRe: 'Obi & I Will Have Talks With Terrorists And Criminals If Elected' - Kwankwaso by epainos: 3:11am On Jul 21
Desperation to get something is a killer. That Obi is desperate to the extent of picking Kwakwanso baffles me. Wow!

See how VP who hasn't won an election is taking the shots. Even Obi who will be the ceremonial president is silent. Lol.

Now, I can say that Atiku is wiser cos I used to think he is the worst strategic presidential contestant. Contested back to back for over 15 year and no strategic change. People keep leaving him.. but he knows that picking Wike as his vice is a suicide mission. Lol. Why? He knew how deadly he acted towards OBJ. Lol.

The smartest (not necessarily the person we need) is Tinubu. He deceived them all. I remember that he almost prostrate for Orji Kalu's mama. Lol. Did his thing with Yaradua mama. Lol. But he knew that Nasir ElEufai must not be in his cabinet. Lol. And he set Ribadu to handle him. Lol.

But Obi in his wisdom, knowing fully well Kwakwanso has been tagged a terrorist by the Trump govt, and knowing that the next election will happen before Trump leaves went ahead to pick Kwakwanso. See how his vice is running his mouth like he is the principal. Lol.

I juat pity you of you still follow Obi. Na waooo!

I just pray God will answer Nigeria's prayer because all these guys running Nigeria presently and those running to take over are all bunch of looters and dishonest people. All of them. All.
TravelRe: Nigeria Ends Repatriation Of Citizens From South Africa by epainos: 3:59am On Jul 19
RandDigital:
All South Africans are on the same page - black, white, ANC or DA, educated or uneducated.

SA is known globally for high crime and unemployment rates - something has to change.

The country needs serious change, we don't care what you say.
Bro or Sis Rand. Wow! I checked my history again to see and I confirmed you mentioned me in one of SA's thread. And I see again that you are a real South African.

But Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! To this. I repeat Wow!!!

I am still going to say the same I told you the last time. While I dont see anything bad in protecting your nation, and I do not support the high rate of crimes in your nation...but you leaving it at the work of foreigners says a lot.

Nigerians can be annoying, but there are better ways to go about it. How did Russia crack down the epidemic of drugs in the 1980s and early 90s and not destroy their relationship with nations these smugglers come from? How is the US managing Mexico and Columbia? And now Venezuela? So, the Ameicans and Russians looted foreigners' shops? Lol. You can march in peace without beating, stealing, and looting foreigners shops? And tou are proud of it. Lol.

But South Africa chose to spit on the nation that saved you when you were nothing. Even all the money you said you have lost is nothing compared to the raw cash Nigeria gave you. And we gave you over 300 Nigerian passports when you were locked in that same place. We gave you the voice to speak. We lifted you from your low level state. We refreshed you. Go and ask your grandparents that are sensible to tell you the history if you are not able to use the internet.

Now you are saying Nigerians are spreading false news about you. The same Nigeria that broke your chain of slavery.

Hahaha! I laugh in Swahili and Zulu. Hahahaha.

Bro/Sis....I just hope its worth it the way you went about it.

And funny, no matter the pressure our people mounting our governement, we arent still touching your investments. But you looted all our people. Right? And that's the right way to protest. Lol. Clap for yourself. You are legends. Well played.

What is wrong with chasing the people and sending them their investments? But you chose to loot their shops. We spread false news about that too?

What about looting their beers and drinking them? We spread the false news too. Right?

And funny...you said the white are in it with you. This is when I realised that mehn.....mehn....mehn... like we always say....na waoooo.

Ha! You never even thought about it that...what if the white wants to break the relationship you had with the guy you lifted you out of gutter? I hope you know the meaning of gutter. Cos Nigeria single handedly lifted you. If you decide to run your mouth against me that its a lie, I will start posting receipts of what Nigeria did for you. And we will compare all with the evil you claimed we did.

I dont see you as not grateful, but not insightful and tactical. You cant even see the real picture. And have you not really thought about it why Nigeria isnt retaliating? You dont even know the investments you have presently that Nigeria can destroy. Do you? You don't. I wont go there with you at all. If Nigeria decides to go after you, I swear, you will cry. But I am so happy we arent going that route with you. That is too low. And we will NEVER go low to that extent. NEVER!!!

And see....your president woke up and also decided to attack Isreal. Lol. I was just smiling. Why do you think Nigeria rejected the offer of BRICS as the main nation in Africa. You think they approached SA first? Lol. Guy, una no sabi anything at all.

Anyway, we shall see. If the whites dont take over the political power in 10 yrs max, we shall see. And when they do, we will see if you will crawl back to Nigeria. Lol.

As for unemployment....I laugh. We shall see if you all will have jobs that you have sent immigrants away. Lol. You guys that wake up early morning with beer. Lol. Or Nigerians are the ones telling lies how lazy you are? And how you always get drunk? Lol.

Anyway, I congratulate you for a well done job. And goodluck!!!
Foreign AffairsRe: Trump Hands Over Patriot Missile Blueprints To Zelensky by epainos: 7:08am On Jul 09
Trump has decided you eat up Iran by killing their fuel. When Rusdia gets busy with Ukraine, we will see how Iran won't crawl and beg for a negotiation. Lol.

The signal will be when they start pushing out kids being killed, painting everywhere red like they are the victims. Thats when you know that they have been hit badly. Now, they are making mouth, doing yanga, and calling shots.


Hmmmm! Will they above work? Lets wait and see.

BusinessRe: Africa’s Biggest Lithium Processing Plant Is Now In Nigeria by epainos: 8:54am On Jul 07
Kukutente23:
Nigerians and backwards mentality
We don't produce batteries but we're rejoicing over a lithium plant built to exploit natural resources found in our environment
Some zone Bees above have even turned it to a geopolitical issue
Who do us like this sey? I wan know the man
I feel you bro. Honestly, this is the hopelessness in Naija's situation, but it is going to not be like this. Do you know why? Naija is a copy me place. Now, Dangote has opened their eyes, and it is even good that its Bola Tinubu there. Imagine what Amosu did to the man. Lol. So, they will all run to start their battery manufacturing companies. Lol. This time, it wont be export of crude lithium.

And Baba at rhe top na professional tax collector. He is setting the designs there, so, it will happen. The issue is that Tinubu will do the job, but he will set his boys there.

Like I tell people, Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso are all wasting their time. The one I pitied is Aregbesola. They know Tinubu na. Master tax collector. Master layout. He will grind it, and pull everything to himself. Lol.

You just wait and see. Tinubu will pocket the whole of Nigeria very soon. And I am so happy this is happen cos by the time other regions realise this, it will be deep. So, they will either be slaves or part away.

Me, I have dropped arguing. Im just observing Nigeria cos it is about to change. Why do you think IMF, world bank, and China are loading us loans. They can see how much tax this Baba will pull out in the next 20 years, and dem go tanga dey collect their interests. Hahaha hahaha.

So, the way he is going is the right way if you ask me. Atiku will come and destroy it and set us back years again prioritising subsidy, feeding the northern poor masses....and investors will leave again.

Infrastructure must be on ground first. Govt tax it. Govt should only have more of tax income than profit for running organisations. Govt ahould buy shares and not operate. This is why NNPC is failing. They even discussed Buhari when he had been initially advised well to not pay for the already negotiated shares in Dangote. Why? Cos they wan to keep chopping from NNPC. And Buhari sef we no sabi anything fell into the trap. This Baba now is calling Dangote that...guy, na me bail you out na when dem wan kill you. That previous share we agreed, you go still give naija na. Lol. And we go pay you. But Dangote too will do business na. He will hype the price.....lol. He is srill doing shakara.

So, this one will work. You will hear like 5 companies come on board soon.

Tinubu is just a selfish man, but he will do the job. I have written about these things long before. We wey sabi am well, don tell all of you say he must not come on.board ooo. If you let him, Naija don dey inside his pocket. Lol.
BusinessRe: 'I Make N2.5million Monthly': Corn Seller Sparks Social Media Debate(video) by epainos: 3:38am On Jul 07
I just smiled when people were insulting Remi. You see, you all dont know how the Nigerian market system has been framed.

Retailers are kings. Thats just it. And you dont still get it. Remi Tinubu is talking from what he has seen Tinubu pumped out of tax collection. Those Agbero in parks and markets, the road sellers, market women and men, etc. If they arent making money why would Lagos State create so many agencies to milk them, yet they keep multiplying. So, dey there.

When I import supplements and I see what these sellers list on Jumia, konga, and jiji, I always call them thieves. Ha ba! When you know the amount main distributor and retailers make on food compared to what faemers make, you will shout.

Gues what I told my network to downsize and we transform to B-C - direct sales to consumers. What you gain from farming 1,000 ha...just do 5 ha and you will make times 2, but sell directly to consumers.

This framework is not sustainable, its what Nigerians have embraced. And it didnt start today. It was first noticed in the 70s when retailers just created artificial high prices of meat and fish. Gen Obasanjo ordered ship of fish from Norway and crashed the prices. Still those retailers made good profit. But why did they increased their profit exponentially before? Thats just the Nigerian thing that want to make too much from anything. And its why they form associations for their dirty fights. This same issue affects oil and forex.

Bola Tinubu understood this, and he pitched his tent there.

Well, solution is on the way. We will soon see. Lol.

Goodlyck to you all.
PoliticsRe: Gbajabiamila Must Be Sacked Over Fake Govt Agency - Isaac Fayose by epainos: 9:42am On Jul 04
I want to have faith that there is hope for Nigeria at times, but something else always happen that kills the hope. Just imagine how the guy was burnt. Thats the evidence. The guy didnt not die any day, but just when things wan burst. Ha!

But if they really want to investigate, there are still traces to catch that man. The question is that will they ever be transparent?

Hmmm! And the President will keep preaching we shoukd not run away.

It is good now that 'yeye' Ngerians abroad are being deported back home. I pray that it should go all over the world so that yeye people can return. Then, the road is clear for genuine people who will not tarnish our image abroad. Tech guys, doctors, nurses, etc to move abroad genuinely. Make we leave this country for "jagajaga" people. We will see na.

When the "jagagaja" abroad returned and cannot get cash like they get where they are repatriated from, dem go start the wahala na.

So, in a way, this South Africa issue may be a blessing for Nigeria. Let them stsrt dumping back all illegal Nigerians abroad. Everyone of them in the US and Asia. The UK has gotten rid of that nonsense a long time ago. But I know that there are still few illegal in the EU and dem plenty in Asia and in the US. The ones in Africa too are too many.

It is well. What a 'jagajaga' nation.

Two are better than one; however, one can partner with the supreme being to beat two. These are ONLY spiritual concepts. If you choose a wrong partner, it destroy you. Also, if you stop being cooperative, you kill that leverage and it loads on your shoulder a heavy burden.

If you are single, do not let anyone push you into it. Those pushing you into it, how is their existence going? If you are broke, dont marry.
Foreign AffairsRe: South African Company Cries Out For Skilled Workers As Foreign Employees Depart by epainos: 3:06pm On Jul 02
It is already late for South Africa. This action is dangerous. Christ!

Im not in support of illegal immigrants, but I dont ever think they can go to this extent. Someone saw this thing and decided to use it for something. Someone fueled it underground. Normally. I expect them to wage serious political war against thor presidency, but attacking foreigners to this extent? Someone saw the tendency in them to carry it out due to their past aggressions, and fueled it.

But I predict, this is the end of the black political dominance in that nation. And the US under oga is ready to back them up. I am sure they are extremely happy. Lol. Me sef, I am so sure they are going to cry bitterly.

But its later for them to ask Nigeria for another 300 horary passports and over $100billion to make them regain their freedom. This slavery the blacks will enter in this tech era, they wont be able to even lay claim of anything. Na cry in silence.

We shall see.

Foreign AffairsRe: South Africa Finalising Permanent R350 Monthly Grant For The Poor by epainos: 8:56am On Jul 02
I sincerely hope S.A. is not entering the trap that is inflicting serious damages on Nigeria. That demon is subsidy for the poor. The rich understands how to use the tool.

And the issue is that South Africa cannot return to Nigeria for help again. Wow! We issued them over 300 passports as honorary Nigerians during those days the white showed them shege, and they were banned from leaving the nation. Also, Nigeria gave them a total of around $100 billion raw cash over 2 to 4 decades cos we were doing "big brother" in those days. This amount does not include other running expenses we incurred. Mehn! South Africa has isolated themselves. This is a trap. Wow!

I really think they should be educated to find a softer way. Nigerians are something else, but ha ba na. If you add up everything they claim they have been denied (which I am not disputing), it can never be 1/20 of that $100 billion. Never!

Ha! The way the whites will move fast now will be rapid, and I know that they have got the back of the US under oga. Na small change some guys offered these blacks to demand for grants for the poor. Im sure. This thing is sponsored by some guys.

I may be wrong, but I predict that this will be the downfall of the black ruling South Africa. The white will hijack the political power soon. And together with their economical power, they will use the law and modern techniques to make sure the blacks dont ever step into power again. Mark my words.

And the issue here is that, they will NEVER be able to ask Nigeria for help again. If our future presidents decide to do something, Naija go pieces them. Lol.

Cost reflective tarrifs also worked for GSM

I remember when Nigerians were complaining about the high prices they were charging and one stakeholder replied them with 'How else do you think that the GSM companies would be able to pay for expansion and infrastructure, since government was not supporting them with money'
But more transparent than discos. Lol. Like I wrote, I have no light since Friday and im in band A. Lol.

People will rebel against any price rubbish na.

The law of lean business. Do that small very well and people will trust you. Why cant they prioritise band A. If they would kill themselves to make sure band A has light, do you think the game wont change? The whole structure will change. It will improve a lot. Demographics will shift to realign with it. Houses price in band A will move up drastically. Lagosians will move to band A. Thats how you divide the whole of Lagos. And that's how you develop it by sections. But these people are not serious.

I agree the money they are making cannot do the job well, but they have had many chances to prove that they can do it. However, the feedback is that they are not ready to make changes withnthe little they get more. So, who will want to give them more? Answer na. Just like the parable in the Bible...the business man whontraveled and his 3 workers. He gave one 5 or so talents, another 3, and rhe last 1. The 5 and 3 doubled the money while the one with one felt bad. He buried the money and returned that 1 to his master. His master kicked him out and vcae the guy with high worth the one. So he had 11. Go multiply it again.

Wetin we don do right for this nepa that will encourage anyone to want to pay more esp with this their Band A scam?

So, i am going to ask you. Are you in band A? If you are, and you are not getting the worth. Yet paying high...you will get the point.

1. In a way, corruption is a symptom of the system of subsides. After all when estimating how much would be spent in subsides, padding results since we do not know how much money we would actually need....wink wink. A cost reflective regimen would eventually bring efficency, which would reduce or even eliminate corruption

Also, since subsidies are not regularly paid, companies may need to lie to get extra money, and keep running well.
Well said. I agree with you.

2. We paid more for GSM, and back then people cried suffering and oppression. And they even had extra ammo..services were godawful (One could not even call a NITEL Landline from an MTN line in the early days). But once investment poured in, things got better, and well, services got cheaper

Also, remember that generation and distribution are private. And one thing private companies that are well run hate is..corruption.
Bro, what helped us in GSM is leaving the analog. We condemned the whole NITEL infrastructure and created a new one. This is where disruptive innovation helped.

I edited my last post before I saw this. Never knew that you would even reply me. So, bro...it is only something innovative that can change this situation we are in. And the only solution I have so far is the standard alone system I mentioned in my last post - install solar power at home and enjoy it in.peace.


Sir, if I was the president today, I would just invest heavily in solar. We have lithium and we will just make batteries. Also make panels. Turn roofs to panels. Make laws so we can use solar roofs for good places..

Sir. Then, let people with extra power sell it into the national grid. Simple.

Will those guys allow this to happen? I doubt it.

Femi Otedola is going into nuclear power, but sir...with this Iran war..do you think we will ever habe nuclear in Nigwria also?
PoliticsRe: Why Power Supply May Never Improve In Nigeria. by epainos: 2:50pm On Jun 21
nairalanda1:
So recently, Peter Obi made a comment that he was going to improve our power supply by 10000mw, which would take us up to 32000 mw...which should be enough for us to get light 24/7 (subject to the Siemens project working)...and the response was tinubu supporters making fun of Obi as a man without ideas, while Obi supporters praised their man as being wisdom incarnante.

Except that Obi did not tell us how he plans to do it.

Which essentially begs the question, how do we vote for a guy who promises us something, but does not tell us how to do it.

Which leads me back to Tinubu. IN 2023, tinubu said...if you vote me and I do not give you constant power supply, vote me out in 2027.

Naturally tinubu supporters were praising their man as being a tough minded leader, etc, etc....while Obi people are now calling in the receipts. Man has not done as promised so he should be kicked out.


Which leads me to my point.

Tinubu and obi never/have not told Nigerians how they intend to improve power supply.


The truth of the matter is, we have a plan, laid out by the experts, about power supply. A decent , strong plan....cost reflective tarrifs, ending power theft, and rolling out metering.

But neither tinubu nor obi, nor even atiku or any potential candidate would mention that because it does not win votes. (Sowore would probably announce a plan to give 24 hour light a day at N1 per kwh).


Nigerians , regardless of political party, like hearing populist language. If a leader came into office and started doing the things the experts have said we should do, he would be voted out. Or chased out. You will see the Fulani herdsmen marching with the Igbo farmer, the Yoruba trader marching with his Hausa counterpart, and there would be riots.


And the leader would be voted out.

That is why whoever takes office, won't be allowed to improve power because Nigerians think that electricity should be free of charge.

When in reality, it is not possible.

Electricity costs money. If you won;t pay for it in cost reflective tarrif, you will pay for it in generator and inverter monies. That is what Band A taught us.

And on that Band A, the idea of tinubu was not original. India has a similar system, present for decades, that commercial and industrial properties would pay a cost reflective tarrif and the profits would be used to pay for subsidising the poor farmers and rural people

And after doing that, has power supply in India improved? (No.).

Infact India is planning to make everyone pay cost reflective tarrfs in five years time.


SO, if it didn't work in India, how e go work in NIgeria?

The only way we can get free power is to take massive loans totalling nearly 2/3rd of our budgets for the next ten or more years...and while it may give us enough light, it would also put us in heavy debt for it.


In 2025, Prof Barth Nnaji, who is definetly not a Tinubu supporter put it well



SAUCE : LEADERSHIP NEWSPAPER


I have been saying the above for years, but people here abuse me, so I may as well quote the actual expert, who is a qualified engineer, a former ministar of power, and an owner of a GENCO.

And he is not the first or the last to state that this needs to be done. PwC have said it, several experts have been saying it, a BBC report said it, and so forth.

Yet, Nigerians and their candidates choose to believe the fiction of corruption or some evil Western zionist overmind does not want to give us light.

It is easier to believe conspiracy theory fiction

Like NIgerians, like candidates.


Good afternoon.

I expcet to be abused and to be told about other countries that somehow magically give free power(the macs won't add that those countries pay for it with heavy taxes, or heavy debt).
I agree with this writer. There are many issues wrong with Nigeria; however, without first removing corruption, na suffer pro max for the masses. The exact way IBB asked OluFalae to implement SAP and people suffered only for the military to loot everything. Lol.

Tell us to pay more and we will suffer. Band A paying huge, have they gotta enough light? So, when people dont trust the system they will rebel against any decision made. This is the issue here. I am on Band A, and its already over 36 hours I am without light. Feb to April was hell. Disco didnt compensate us at all. They still charged us. Lol. And you want Nigerians to trust again. I don't think so. Govt will just keep forcing policies, and people wont make it work. People sef are ready to sabotage anything and everything.

So. I agree with you. We may not get this thing right for a long time. So, go fix your solar system and leave the Nigerian govt. Enjoy your peace. Use stand alone innovative systems to enjoy your life. Life is too short to keep complaining daily.

A beg. 2050 go soon crawl in. Enjoy your life!!!

Well, you are right to say so, and it is what everyone is saying. Im responding to the bolded statement. The truth is that maye if you and every other people are asked if they can forgo having kids? You too know the answer na. Even the Nigerian society religate and shame people withut kids and partners. People will even say it to your face disrespectful that you should go born.

It starts from "you don become evening newspaper". Is this not what is used to shame older unmarried ladies here?

So, I dont blame them. Our society is structured in such a way, and poverty is still helping to make it unbroken. "Na God dey take care of kids". Na so many dey say even many among those critiquing this boy's parents.

Prosperity is the ONLY way out of this. And na God. Im sure the boy didnt even know how to get out of the mess. I cant just imagine what his eyes have seen.

I just dont believe it that the woman is extremely wicked like that. One lady ran after her in the video to almost beat her. Im sure the only reason they didnt rush her was because of the baby she carried. I am so touched.

Anyway, it is an imperfect world we live in. And I just like my life now as I am into God and myself, and I will assist who God send across my way in the capacity I can.

Life is too short to dwell on mastering wickedness and looting public properties.

It is well.
CrimeRe: The Moment Chiziterem Reunited With His Mother In The Hospital by epainos: 5:06pm On Jun 19
The trauma this boy has passed through is too much. Ha ba! And that woman. Ha! I don't know what to say.

Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

The woman looks deceitfully nice and good, but deep inside, she is desperately wicked. Only God knows it. And in His infinite mercy decided to release the boy from her grip.

This woman and her husband need to be jailed.

Arostar2023:
This mindset is what has made a dog’s life more valuable in the UK than human life in Africa. Most africans no longer care about the weak and vulnerable in their midst. For Nigerians especially, it’s loot , grab and run with it if you can. It’s all about “it go favour me and my family “, the rest of the people can starve and die. That results in a politician or traditional ruler looting palliatives meant for the poor without remorse.
I kinda smiled at your comment to my post. And I assume that the 'mindset' you talk about is that of mine about the issue. If this is so, and you felt I was wrong, here is my response to you.

Define the weak. So, the weak is an adult above 18 years who should have a driver's license meaning can make sound and effective decision, but intentionally choose to make a wrong decision that will impact her sense of judgement by taking an ontoxicating substance in the public. To you, she is weak. Right?

If I am right about your mindset, you put a person who isnt a minor who deliberately altered her own sense of judgement in the same category with total helpless minors and adults. The Nigerians you mentioned, are they in this spot with their own deliberately actions? Did they deliberately cloud their sense of judgement with a substance that couldn't make them make decisions?

Yeah. At the onset, the law is to protect such kind of women at a time no one would even imagine such. But right now, an adult who is supposed to hold a drivers license deliberately gets drunk to the extent of losing herself in the public when she knows what's up. And you are telling me that she is a weak person. Lol. Then, you need to check your mind set. A weak person or a stupid fellow? Or a pretender? Or an opportunist? Or a manipulator of the law?

Maybe, we need to start investing if truly she is weak. Of course the man who did it is already in for it with a bigger punishment. But that person, called a lady in that situation must prove she did not deliberately stupid to be weak. With the info out there now, and yoy want to tell me most of these ladies are still naive? Lol. Your "mindset" is funny. Lol.

Listen....it will still continue, but I am telling you that the law is flexible. They will amend it soon. And they will have to stop ladies who think they can give innocent but stupid boys wahala.

That same law that says a lady who decides to not use her head will soon put many of the boys as weak. Thats the law for you. Then, the boys too will start hitting you hard with bad words when you come out as a lady that you got drunk and molested. And the boys too will start using it to deliberatly harm girls. So, its why the law cannot be fixed. It must be changing to balance the equation. Human being is so crafty. This is the nature of humans.

My main point is this. At this point, be responsible and use your head as an adult at all times, and it will be well. And like I said, if a man too is so wise to fall into that trap at this stage, na him wahala.

I am just a neutral person in this case, and I will always tell you the truth. People need to be responsible for their actions. Get drunk in your house where you wont be touched. It doesnt mean that if you touch her outside, you will go scot free. Of course not. But I would descend on you that claim you were the victim too. This way, everyone will grow up.

Weak ladies indeed. Many who have mastered the act of using it to blackmail "dundee" boys. Lol. Anyway, the "dundee" boys too arent decent enough too.

You all will learn. Do not worry. Even your mindset, you go jam am soon. And if you are a man, dont fix your girls well and wait for the law to protect them. Protect yourself first before calling on any law. Thats the wise thing to do.

So, again. If I was allowed to handle this law. I would punish the man, but that lady who deliberately didnt use her head will face it too. Period!

Lastly, well done for your mindset that says a lady who is able to make a good decision but clouded it with a substance is in the same category with helpless minors and adults. Good way of thought. Clap for yourself. Lol!
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran's Supreme Leader Says Trump Made Deal '"Out Of Desperation" by epainos: 7:30am On Jun 19
It seems there are signals the republicans will lose some seats in Nov, and this might result to Trump's impeachment. Maybe he quickly guarded against this.

It is obvious that he under estimated Iran and felt by now he would have cleared them off, and then bragged about it to favor him. Of course, even he would have punched Obama severely too. Lol. But Iran no gree. Those guys too know what's up. They would have been consumed, but they persisted knowing that it would affect Trump.

Lets see what the future holds. But I still think that Trump might be impeached. Honestly. I think so.

She was intoxicated, therefore incapable of giving consent. It doesn't matter if she offered herself to you. Once she is not of clear and sound mind at the time when she made offer, she is incapable of giving consent and having intercourse with her in that state is taking advantage of her.

You should count yourselves lucky that none of you allowed lust blind your common sense, else you would have made the news for the wrong reasons.
I agree that this is still the law now. Fine. And any man who does it in this situation, na him sabi...e don enter am.

Now, lets talk real. Are you people for real really? A responsible lady got drunk to the extent of not making a decision for herself. Should she get to that state? And do you all think everyone of these ladies dont pretend? To me, she deserves a resounding slap...andnif she tries to say 'pee', make dem land am another one. Afternthey can focus on the guy. And as soon as the guy is giving his punishment, they should land the useless girl another dirty slap. It must be knocked into her indomie brain 🧠 to be responsible.

The thing is that this life and law are flexible. It used to be a man's world in these nations just as it is still in Naija, but one day, it flipped. It will flip again because these ladies will soon over do it. And na slap dem go dey use reset the brain of ladies like that.

Even sef, a responsible lady should not even defend them. Sorry...I have not said you are irresponsible ooo. I see it that you are just explaining the law. But i would be careful not to even explain the law cos it is so irritating. I would rather be silent in this situation because you cannot be in this situation. No matter what? Or can you get your yourself drunk to the state you are vulnerable to sexual abuse? Lets think deep na.
BusinessRe: GTBank Holds Customer's ₦5.3 Million Until He Created A Scene At Their Branch by epainos:
On a good day, government are supposed to step in and investigate the issue. And if GT is found guilty, they are to be heavily fined and even compensate the man. This man should walk away with like 5 to 10 times the amount.

Forum GamesRe: Would You Accept N500 Million If It Meant Never Having Children? by epainos: 6:32am On Jun 18
This thread simply points to the fact that there is a strong outcome the southern and middle belt Nigerian population would reduce drastically when poverty declines.

Ai/data researchers, take note. Validation is necessary to predict the future of Nigeria. I have always guess this is the case.

Im sure the response will be extremely shocking (but not to me) when universities students are the only samples used. This one will likely be that over 95% both in the north and south will ditch having kids.

Let Naija taste wealth and see if they will want kids to take away the pleasure of such fun. cheesy The ladies will first rebel against the culture of having many kids. They will struggle to get one. After one, the max will be 2.

Goodluck!!!

You are not siding South Africa you said, yet you are denigrating your own country men, making fun of their predicaments in a foreign country. Is that one not witchery?
The same country man that dupes me, and I am always stretching out my neck. The same man who looks for every opportunity to cheat me. The same man who wont stop smuggling in bad drugs that many friends (good people) die. The same man who go tell you say " na where person dey work, person dey chop" in the name of looting the boss' properties and wrecking the business. That na good person to support and say I have your back? Dey play!!!

And what predicament? The way you lay your bed, you lie on it. We promoted yahoo..shielded them, and even praise them cos they spend. So, you get the result. It was the reason I wrote earlier that: those we helped...they are now against us.

SA will suffer the consequences because of Naijas vacate the place, they will beg. The way the white will deal with them. Lol. They will cry. Will they return to big brother Naija to come bail them out again?

Do you really know the number of Nigerian passports we issued to them when the whites refused to give them so they dont travel out?

Guy, I know what I am.writing. Or do you want me to be talking about the ECOMOG journey of the Nigerian army? Dont let us go there. We didn't help only SA. Liberia will forever be grateful to Naija. I was at a function in Moscow some years back around 2009 - 2011....or may be 2012...not sure. It was Late General Tim Shelpidi who was the ambassador then. I was proud to be a Naija when the Liberian ambassador picked the mic and talked. She practically knelt down in front of all the guests (Americans, British, Africans, Canadians, Asians, etc) and thanwd General Shelpidi. If you see the ovation them....as the general went to embrace her and told her to stand up. General Shelpidi was the Ecomog chief. He led the whole ecomog after his late friend Vitor Malu. Both were very tight friends and they were both posted there.

So bro...I knkw what I am saying.

And unfortunately the irongalaxy you are supporting is the chief South African hater of everything Nigeria on Nairaland. You surely must really despise your country men, and what's terrible than that.
I am not supporting anyone. I do not know him. And I dont want to. My point is this: Na outside dem go tell you say your mouth dey stink. And when you ignored it before you are told, there is a problem. Now, we are told and we are defending it. Na wahala.

Leave the govt to deal with SA man to man. Dem go beg. Not that I am boasting. They will beg.

Did you knkw that MTN has gave all those repatriated N100k cash and N50k airtime? Dem dey afraid. Naija has said that we go deal with them. SA na small for us...trust me. I habe my reasons. And I wont blow my horns here.

But trading words because they lost a football match? Ha ba! Thats not for the big brother to do. E dey dent one's image.

And finally, this is a call for us to fix Naija start from bring back "moral instructions" inside our elementary school curriculum. We have removed that subject entirely. The whole Nigerian family system is now built on corruption and lies. Lets fix ourselves also. The US go insult us today....na UK tomorrow. Even Ghana there wey no suppose get mouth go talk.

E no dey tire you guys? Or you still wan dey defend your men's nauseating and disgracing acts all over the world?

Na that our "will" which most times is dubious we go dey push. Good people arent allowed to make good effect again. And most like it like that. Now dem vex chase you commot, you dey vex.
FamilyRe: Suitors Now Prefer Our Maids To Our Daughters For Marriage by epainos: 9:31am On Jun 09
pocohantas:
I have had two house assistants (I rather not call them maid) and I ENJOYED it. I don't encourage using minors for domestic labour, but I employ adults. I also do not do live-in, and my decision to employ one had nothing to do with laziness or show-off. I simply conserved my time and energy for what is most important to us as a family. I would get another once I see a lady I connect with.
Well done ma. Thats the way to go.

Let me jhuat be frank, the original writer of that article is among those who will relocate abroad and have serious crisis in their marriages. Lol.

The truth is that when a man is solid and busy, he wont even have time to push his wife to the kitchen. The woman is meant to supervise. I am not advocating for girls not to know how to cook, but Nigeria has a long history of seeing women as kitchen utensils. When that same women get abroad and they are empowered, the men cant cope and there will be crisis.

A man who goes after the maid juat because she can cook will have wahala too. That same maid will only be submissive in Nigeria. Let her get to an environment she is properly empowered and then realises her value.

So, let the men keep going for maids or girls who can cook only. Lol. Dem go soon understand that things have changed.

You want Jonathan to return, you get all parties to adopt him unopposed. Thats to show you sre serious you really want him. Thats it.

Or a President set him up as the prime minister without any interference from the presidency to do one mission. And he makes sure that the law binds it. The president interfere later, the senate is turned upside down.

This is who Jonathan should be not the toy you tossed away and want to bring back for personal gains. Lol.
