Did you say unfortunately? You're cheating on her. She caught you. Go and beg. It's just interesting how everyone is showing support. If it was a lady that created this thread, the gender bashing would have been legendary.

RomanceRe: My Girlfriend Is Addicted To Group Intimacy Porn!!! by etrange: 2:27pm On Apr 15, 2023
Lol... I don't think it'd have been a problem if it was a guy that liked one man/many women porn videos. It's called fantasy, and I'm surprised that at this point, you guys are still shocked to learn that men don't have the monopoly of sexual fantasies. If you're OK dating a die-hard porn lover, I don't think the content of the video should be your problem. I mean, provided it's not something illegal.

There might even be a logical explanation. Accept it or not, porn videos are made for men. The ads, the narrative, the acting, the lightening, the positioning of the cameras, the sound, etc., everything is done to provide optimal satisfaction for men. The makers understand thier market, and that's why all the porn ads on NL always start with "a female teacher...", "an upcoming female artist...", "a female banker...", etc. The implication of this is that women who watch porn might need to go an extra mile to find videos that show more of the opposite gender, and a groupie with multiple men might do the trick for them.

You probably like porn videos with one man and many women. I guess if she was into videos like that, y'all would have been watching them together without issues. But since she has her own preference, it's an issue.

Good luck, mate!

Lighten up dude.

Weed is a plant, natural, not artificial.

God gave us weed.

Weed was definitely in the Garden of Eden.

What you should be criticizing is where the devil got a white paper to roll up his weed.

And also where he got a lighter to light up the weed.
Lol... I don't know much about smoking to form an opinion, but weed being natural isn't necessarily a valid argument for smoking since nature is known to produce the good, the bad and the ugly. We have medicinal plants, edible plants and poisonous plants. There are all also natural, all given to us by God. Again, I'm not saying smoking weed is good or bad.

Meanwhile, the idea that Satan used weed to get the first couple hungry enough to eat the forbidden apple made me laugh, not gonna lie. grin Maybe he's still using weed today to lure men into doing things forbidden by God?

Ok... And how exactly do you tell if the nation needs it or not when you won't allow the people of the nation to express themselves? How do know what the people of Chad want if they don't have a say? When you say "let them practice...", who are the "them"? The people of Chad or the few men that constitute the military leadership? You think the citizens really want one person to forcefully be in power for a lifetime? That's rich coming from the citizen of a country that fought tooth and nail to ensure a past president doesn't get a third term.

Unfortunately, Nairaland feeds through all these controversies and I feel Seun wouldn't employ one who would be purely non-partisan as nairaland would need some "spice". You would be a good moderator though
Arguments are healthy. Clash of opinions is revealing. I believe we could still have spicy arguments on here without necessarily degenerating into total intemperance. It would be a shame if Seun doesn't see it that way. The tribalism on this platform is overwhelming.

It's good to know someone thinks I'd make a good mod! cheesy

I dunno which section to post this type of a thing but I think I just escaped a very dangerous thing happening to this morning .

So I used concentrated sniper in my room yesterday and for the first I woke up to something crawling on my neck. I flung it away only to check and found this strange creature crawling on my bed. I killed it immediately right there and it spilled out some dark substance in its belly on my bed. Very dark that I will have to wash bedsheet.

Worst part is I don't even know its name but I believe it must belong to a specie of spiders. I have never seen it before.

So guys does anyone know what this creature is. And how posinous is it?. Lemme know what I just escaped. What if it but me? Omo


Mods kindly push to the front page for more input. Cos this is my first time seeing this one.
This is a camel spider also known as sun spider. It is not venomous.
FamilyRe: Help! My Sister In-law Is Seducing Me by etrange: 5:32pm On Apr 12, 2023
Hhmm... I was waiting for the part where she tried to seduce you. She's not seducing you. She grew into a woman and you started finding her attractive. Unfortunately, this is very common. Finding her attractive is one thing, acting on it is another. You can't control one, but you can control the other. Finding her attractive is not enough reason to do anything with her except you're saying to go down with any lady you find attractive at your place of work. However, to be on the safe side, you should find a way to bring up the discussion of her exit plan with your wife even if it means supporting her relocation financially. I'm sure your wife will get the message.

Foreign AffairsRe: Germany To Expel Chad Ambassador, Mariam Ali Moussa, In Tit-for-tat Move by etrange: 5:18pm On Apr 12, 2023
Not surprising. There's no way the democratic world would agree with the tactics of the new leader. The German ambassador must have been very vocal about his disagreement and that led to him being kicked out. This guy's father ruled for 30 years. He took over and promised to hand over power to a civilian government. He never did that. And from the look of things, he doesn't intend to do so. Nigerians who did everything to escape the military regime are here supporting him. What we fail to realize is that if this lifetime leadership style is passed down the children of the outgoing leaders, it'll take another 20 to 30 years to have another opportunity to tackle it. Unfortunately, it's already happening.

danvon:
Okay you guys are being intentionally ignorant

She wrote a letter to the United States President that was not 'expressing your views' something even Peter Obi and Obasanjo did not do.
Apparently, it's all about perspectives. You agree with me that anyone can write a letter to the government of the country in which they live and pay tax, right? She is a resident of the US and she called out the government for romancing a leader that was, in her opinion, elected undemocratically.

She didn't just write the letter to report INEC to the US. She didn't just write the letter to any random western country like Canada or the UK. She wrote her own leaders a public letter just the way the Obasanjo you mentioned has been writing the Nigerian government and just the way you and I have the right to write a public letter to the Nigerian president.

So instead of viewing it as she writing the US government about Nigerian election, see it as her calling out her own government for what she perceived as hypocrisy. So yes, she was expressing her views, just not to the Nigerian government but to the US government.

Do you even realize how ridiculous this sounds? You want the citizens being led to ignore the affairs of the leadership? You don't think they should have a say in the electoral process? So why bother having an election then? Why are you even making this comment expressing your wish? Why are you not focusing on whatever it is you do, and leave the politics thread for politicians? You express your views, concerns, etc., but when Amanda does the same, you suddenly feel politics should be left for politicians. Lol... honestly, when you guys criticize like this, I wonder what your thought process is.

Even in politics Chimamanda is not a class of Wole Soyinka. WS is a global icon, Has a global name recognition. I respect Chimamanda's achievement just like many Nigerians who have excelled in their profession. But Wole Soyinka is a class of his own .
But How many people have really head the name Chimamanda in Nigeria. Ask around, she is not know.
You still don't get it. People with different perspectives on the just concluded election debate the alleged flaws. It could be with any known person who has told a contrary story. It's not a matter of who is a world class and who is a state class. We're not comparing thier degrees, qualifications or achievement but thier perspectives.
TravelRe: See The Reason Why Brain Drain Will Continue In Nigeria by etrange: 4:41pm On Apr 09, 2023
Rapmoney:
Will tax take more than half of your monthly salary? Remember, I used the poorest EU country for this analysis. So what will you say for a thriving country like Luxembourg?

How many graduates earn up to 150k per month in Nigeria?
Even with extremely low tax, the comparison you made would still be wrong, bro. Someone that earns that amount in that country can't even afford a very good one bedroom to sleep in at night. There's no comparison with a 500k earner in Nigeria.

Yes, I know you used the poorest country to make the analysis and I'm saying the analysis itself is COMPLETELY WRONG. It is not a debate of whether abroad is better than Nigeria or not, I am saying the analysis you used to drive your message is wrong. Your point was that even a low income earner in Bulgaria with €8 per hour is still better off because that amounts to more than 500k which an average Nigerian cannot boast of, and I am saying that is the most misleading analysis in the history of Nairaland.

Just accept it is wrong instead telling me about other countries. If you wanted us to discuss other countries, you should have made your analysis using those other countries. That way, the the post won't mislead people into believing what is not true.
TravelRe: See The Reason Why Brain Drain Will Continue In Nigeria by etrange:
Rapmoney:
In an article published on March, 30 2023 by eurostat, an official website of the European Union, the average hourly costs of labour in EU (European Union) countries in 2022 were reviewed. Bulgaria, with the lowest cost of labour per hour stood at 8 euros while Luxembourg with the highest stood at 51 euros.

Let's use the lowest European paying country for this analysis which is Bulgaria. If you work 40 hours per week in Bulagaria, (which shouldn't be lesser as a healthy person without disabilities) that is:

8 euros x 40 hours = NGN163,598 (8 euros = NGN4, 089.95)

Multiply that 40 hours by 4 which is four weeks in a month, that should be:

NGN163,598 x 4 = NGN654,392

This means that a Nigerian working in the poorest country among the EU countries can boast of a salary over 500k in a month converted to Nigerian Naira. Should we still make analysis on the highest EU paying country, Luxembourg? With this here, I don't think that will be necessary.

It is really a loss of human dignity to offer labour that will not change your living standard.

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/products-eurostat-news/w/DDN-20230330-3
Respectfully speaking, this analysis is watery to say the least. Converting what you're paid in Euro to Naira when you don't live in Nigeria or make your expenses in Naira is as useless as the k in knife. The person earning over €1,280 a month over there is very poor and can hardly afford half of what someone earning 500k in Nigeria can afford. Do you know the cost of rent, electricity, water, heating, internet, phone bills, groceries, transport, etc. in the country? Did you forget all these expenses will also be in Euro? Did you forget tax which takes a good deal of the income? Y'all really think those that live abroad wouldn't have been Naira billionaires if it was all about currency conversion? Lmao...

MRMRMR:
It is an insult in this context for Wole Soyinka, a Nobel Prize Winner to debate Chimamanda who is not. Wole Soyinka is a global icon.
His calling for a debate was on the context of the appropriateness or otherwise of Datti's statement. I know many lazy, uncultured and unlettered social media users do not fully grasp the context of the call for a debate.
I don't think political debates have much to do with individuals achievements in thier careers though. It's politics they're discussing, not literature. Just saying.
