Politics / Re: Who Is Your Best Performing Governor? by etrange: 3:53pm On Mar 24
Zwooks:



Pettiness. Do you people reason at all or is it that you completely lack sense ?

Hhmm... Is it really that difficult to live and let live? You could've just said your own best instead of looking for whom to insult for making thier submission. It's amazing how a subjective thread like this could trigger such deep sentiments to the point where you had to question the sanity of an entire group of people. It's almost as if some NL users have taken the platform as a fighting place. Otherwise, when someone shares an opinion you don't agree with at your place of work, would you respond like this? Just saying.

OP, mine is Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Third Class Graduates: How Do You Feel When Denied A Job Due To Class Of Degree by etrange: 9:13pm On Mar 23
Sorry bro, but when they receive an extremely high volume of applications, you don't really expect them to interview each person. The cost of recruitment is high. They need a way to narrow down the list and degree class seems to be the only objective way to do that without meeting each individual.

Romance / Re: I Sent Her Out Of My House Late In The Night: Did I Do The Right Thing? by etrange: 8:34pm On Mar 23
Sir, you sent someone's daughter out in the middle of the night even when you knew she had no money for transport because you're angry? You confirmed nothing happened to her from someone. You say that as if that after-the-fact confirmation made your actions any less egregious. Would that confirmation have saved her if she was attacked that night? And you're asking if you did something wrong. So if we say no, you'd still have the mind to do something like this again in your life? Sir, you're not here to find out if you're wrong or right, you already know the answer to that question. You brought the story here cause you want validation for your evil act so you can have peace of mind. But the truth is, until you accept your wrong-doing, what you did to that girl will keep haunting you.

You didn't introduce this girl to us as your girlfriend. You described her as "this girl that has been to your place, eat the best and that" (that expression is ridiculous by the way). You had another girl you could easily call, so she was just one of the girls. You also said and I quote "in my mind I was thinking this will go down as sex ...". You don't want to commit but you're angry that she didn't jump into your bed cause of the food you've been buying her. You say cuddling several time as we don't know how that ends up. Let me not go into the dynamics of your relationship and what she might have done wrong or right because that would give the impression that there's a scenario where your action would be justified. The truth is, there isn't. You're a dangerous man.

You see, what you did that night is not about her. She's fine, and she's moving on with her life and dignity. She's not the one creating threads online. Rather, it's about you. If you could send a girl out in the middle of night without transport, you have issues; very serious issues. I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you this, and I'm sure this is not the first time your action is shocking you into explaining yourself to strangers hoping to be validated. Certainly, if there was no internet, you'd sit down and explain yourself to a dog, a cat or anything around. That is what happens when your conscience is pushing you around. You'd recount the story over and over again in your head hoping to find validation somewhere but you won't. NL boys can hail you all they want, but deep down, you know you have a problem.

Health / Re: My Aunt Grows Beard Like A Man, Is It A Health Condition? by etrange: 10:18pm On Mar 20
A little Googling would've let you know she's got hirsutism. While it could be a symptom of something else, in most cases, it's not and no treatment is required. It's sad that people aren't very tolerant of individual differences/uniqueness despite the education level in the country.

Career / Re: Nigerian Senior Soldier Threatens Junior For Addressing Him As "Officer" by etrange: 6:23pm On Mar 20
Racoon:
What has addressing you with your rank caused you- demotes or elevates you? This is sheer display of arrogancy and inferiority complex.You can't be a gentleman office even among your subordinates. A course they taught them in the NDA.

Perhaps the officer should go to the battle field to enable BH terrorists help him assert the peeps rank he is bragging about. What nonsense! Discipline have really degenerated in the military.

It's not just an individual who wants to be called 'sir'. It's the military where rank is everything. They have traditions. He could call him 'officer' while talking about him to a third party, but they don't use that term to call the attention of thier senior. Even in mere secondary schools, a JSS1 student wouldn't say 'student' when calling the attention of the school's senior prefect.

Travel / Re: Check Out The Border Between Niger And Nigeria by etrange: 10:27pm On Mar 19
michlins:
Europeans did Africa dirty. Shared the lands and people like they deemed fit without as much as considering family and religious ties.


When they finished, they went and created EU where a passport holder can transverse the whole of EU without the border control disturbing him or her. Here in Africa, we're yet to unify

I believe a passport her can also go anywhere within ECOWAS without anyone disturbing him. The issue with the way countries were created in Africa is that the entities that created these countries were at war with one another. They were just scrambling for territories. The same thing happened in South and North America.

Politics / Re: 72hrs After: Niger Republic Maintained Their Borders Entry Points Closed. by etrange: 2:13pm On Mar 16
Namaster:


Stop typing NONSENSE. If Nigeria goes to war today, the military will conscript EVERYBODY. From the 16-year old boy that just discovered PornHub to the 60-year old man that is just shuffling along waiting for death.

In times of war, saboteurs would be EXECUTED immediately they are discovered.

@bolded, not really. While we don't have any basis to describe conscription in Nigeria at an international level yet (no law, no history), global history has shown that countries that do not have peacetime conscription don't generally adopt war-time conscription as soon the country goes to war but rather, it's employed after the number of available fighters gets to a certain threshold during an extended war period. Most times, the government of these countries start off by incentivizing people to join the military before eventually resorting to conscription depending the tide of war.

Pets / Re: My Experience With Pet Parrots I Bought Today But Had To Give Them Away by etrange: 8:30pm On Mar 14
CaptainZubi:

This story you're talking doesn't apply to specie the guy bought above. Those are Senegalese parrots and they don't talk. They don't learn anything too. All they do is scream when you try to pick them up.

And what did I call them in my post, Nigerian parrots? How many of them have you owned or trained to have come to this conclusion? Or you expect them to come tamed and affectionate? Dude, if you don't have any knowledge about something, let people that know talk. I've trained birds for almost 8 years. As I'm typing this, I have a conure and a boogie on my bed with me and I've trained Senegalese parrots both in sanctuaries and homes.

Like I clearly said in my comments, these are Senegalese parrots and they are not great talkers but they talk nevertheless. Contrary to your submission, everything I said about them is 100% accurate. They're affectionate and they bond real good with thier owners. They are shoulder birds and they do talk. They just don't learn words easily like African grey and when they speak, it may not be as clear as other parrots known for talking. You don't pick up a parrot, they step up (hop on your finger). That is the first thing they learn within the first couple of weeks. If you can't teach a bird to step up, you shouldn't even own one cause that's easiest thing to teach. Any parrot that is not hand raised will behave the way you described regardless of the species. You don't go out there, bring a bird home and expect them to behave like you see on tv on the basis of species. No, it doesn't work that way. The process I described up there applies to virtually every parrot. Only a hand raised parrot or a tamed one will allow you touch it without screaming and Senegalese parrots can be trained just like any other parrot.

This is one talking:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_GsWrO1s-U?feature=shared

Here is a good breakdown of thier personality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGQRHp2iCGk?feature=shared

As you can see in the two videos, they're not screaming cause they've been trained not to do it, and nobody is picking them up. 🙄

Pets / Re: My Experience With Pet Parrots I Bought Today But Had To Give Them Away by etrange: 7:15pm On Mar 14
Lol... beautiful birds. You made a mistake.

You don't grab a parrot, instead you teach them to step up (that is, hope on your fingers). You don't get touchy with your parrots the first few days after you got them. You must allow them settle in and get used to the environment. You leave them in the cage and spend a lot of time near the cage. If your parrot is hand-raised, this is sufficient to get started, otherwise, you'd still need to do the whole finger-no-danger exercise. When you eventually open the cage, you MUST let them come out on thier own. Again, if they weren't hand raised, you must also avoid fast movements and maybe eye contacts depending on how skittish they are. It's after the bird is comfortable with you that you can start the basic training. Parrots love training sessions, they like attention, they like to be handled and they're clingy once they bond with you (parrots sometimes get too clingy). But if you don't start off correctly, they can be very aggressive and loud. Every bad move threatens your bond cause they don't forget.

These ones are called Senegalese parrots. They are very affectionate and could develop separation anxiety if not well socialized. They are not as loud as other mini-sized parrots like green cheek conure and sun conure but they're also not great in learning to talk. They just want to stay on your shoulder all the time. All parrots are clingy, but these ones are moderately clingy. Finally, like most parrots, they require balanced diet, exercise and mental stimulation to avoid developing bad behaviors like feather plucking, aggression and screaming.

Haha... I had this same thought. I was like, why is he telling us he doesn't eat noodles as if it makes him special? But it's a free world.

@OP, I believe liking or not like noodles isn't really worth a long text, and it's definitely nothing to worry about. People have individual preferences. I'm sure they are things you eat that other don't.

To everyone else, please remember to add a lot of vegetables if you eat quick noodles often to avoid deficiency. Also, if you love pasta, give whole wheat pasta a try to cut down on blood sugar.

If Nigeria joins the BRICS nation and things will get better than the way it's now, I will be in support of it. But if joining it will bring bad economic changes that Nigerians will later regret, I think it's better we remain with OPEC Nations.

The only joining BRICS will help Nigeria is if our oil is sold in Naira. Otherwise, it would just be a case of changing masters. We'd end helping other countries better position thier currencies against the US dollar while ours keep deeping.
Romance / Re: Nigerian Man Posts Video Of Girlfriend Confessing To Cheating (video) by etrange: 7:58pm On Mar 09
See all of them on the front page shouting "Nigerian girls!" as if the guys are any different. Are these girls sleeping with each? Aren't you guys the ones doing it with them? How can you want chaste women but praise each other for sleeping with them? Where will the chaste ones then come from? How do you expect the ladies bear the burden of maintaining morality in the society alone while you go about sleeping around. Y'all are like a baby crying that he's got no cake just moment after eating the cake himself. No matter how much you insult women on this platform, nothing will change until y'all acknowledge the fact that it's a two-way thing. Yesterday, we read about a man that kicked out his wife and took in the house help and the guys on the front page were asking 'why did she bring in a maid', 'what did she do', etc., but once it is the other way round, you jump in to call out the gender. Even people who have never talked to a non Nigerian girl are here screaming "Nigerian girls!". Shallow minded people.
