You should realise that everyone can not be like you...

What if everyone has white hair, blue eyes, pink lips

What will be the difference

There's beauty in diversity

Honestly, I don’t understand why some of these guys just create cages for themselves. As a man, this; as a man, that. Why can’t y’all just live your lives the way you are. Everybody is different. Toxic masculinity is a manifestation of insecurity.

Ladiesdoctor:
Arrest the prostitute called girlfriend and arrest the terrorist called soldier.

They should be hanged too

Nonsense

A teen will always be teen, it's up to us as adult not to take advantage of them. The man is the only adult here. Not only was he interfering in kids' rivalry, he was also shamelessly sleeping with a minor. If a 16 year old child reports an issue to you and you decide to handle it with torture, you should rot in jail. Honestly, I read about how girls get spoiled early in life and I begin to wonder the kind of men that mess up these girls. It's so saddening.

What is band A? Can someone please explain the band concept to me? Thanks.

History repeating itself?

Hello, I see you sent me a message according to nairaland which I didn't see in my inbox.
Tu vas bien?

Hey bro, it’s been a while. How have you been?

OP, I figured you used the word “sheep” in parentheses to specifically refer to the female. That’s actually wrong as the word generally refers to the animal itself regardless of gender. The male is called a ram (or a wether if it is castrated) while the female is called a ewe (pronounced exactly the same as the word “you”).

You can't mock someone with the days of thier little beginnings. If anything, these pictures are testament to her progress/growth. If her contents irk you so much, you can make yours to dismantle her argument or just ignore her. Anything short of these is just helping her make more money. That's basically the working principle of social media business. Besides, this app is full of guys trash-talking women from morning till night, but y'all just can't stand this one individual cause of her contents? Lol. I don't know her, but from the things I've read, she seems to be very good at keeping the spotlight on herself. I'm sure she makes good money every time she posts a video.

See the first 3 comments are all supporting the guy. These are the same people that complain that ladies don’t bring anything to the table. Now, this one has gone to hustle and still got kicked out, and as usual, the guys have gathered to call her out. How can a lady be loyal to one man when he could easily wake up one morning and find one ridiculous reason to toss her aside? Guys, life is give and take. The kind of ladies you have is a function of the energy you give out. If you’re going to blame in all circumstances anyway, then they don’t have any reason to take you seriously.

It means you can’t afford 4 drivers in the present day Nigeria. That’s the reality on ground. Everything is getting more expensive, how do you expect the cost of driving services to remain the same? You can’t kick against the proposed minimum wage on the basis of your inability to afford the lifestyle you’re used to. The standard of living in the country has dropped. Most people had to downgrade a little to cut down cost. You should do the same.

lol.. Wike is preparing the ground for his presidential ambition. Politics pro max.

Your subject and the body of your write-up aren't related.

Nigeria didn't change her national anthem,she only reverted to the old one.

They could as well do some modification

“Nigeria did not change her national anthem, she only reverted to the old one.”

lol… bro, were you feeling sleepy when you typed this? What do you think change means?

Yes, you can do a root canal to fill it up. However, whether you should do that or just pull out the tooth depends on some factors like the amount of tooth left (enamel and dentine) as well as the sensitivity. Your dentist will do an x-ray and advise you on the best option. You shouldn’t have let it get this far.

sacajawea:
I don't understand. Why will I be advertising SCAM even if it's coded, whereas I say it in the heading and my post that it's illegal?
I really want to understand why all of you are Saying the same thing

Hhmm… I don’t really get why you are getting defensive. I never said you were a scammer. I only advised people, yourself included, to beware of scammers. You typing this could also fall victim.

To be honest, I don’t even know why this is being shared here. It’s almost as if you’re encouraging people to do something fraudulent and thereby deteriorate the image of our country.

People, please, beware of scammers.

OP, I suggest you return to the hospital if you still have concerns. Taking medical advice from a faceless forum is risky especially when it has to do with such a sensitive part of the body. Sorry.

Meanwhile, see how everyone is rushing to help. If it was a lady that came online to seek help like this, you guys would have typed unspeakable things on here.

It reminds me of that Shaggy’s hit song.

Figger:
This could be an old picture of herself, don't believe everything u see on the media.

eepeepook:
Old picture. She’s fatter now. Nigerians frustrate am sotey she turn psycho.

This is a video, and the song she was listening to was released on Friday. How did Nigerians frustrate her and what makes you think she turned psycho?

phygo89:
They whites are more cruel than we are.

He got sacked for the tasteless joke. In Africa, a senator was seen assaulting a woman and he still kept his position. The whites have their issues, but this post is not the place to draw that comparison or score that point you’re aiming for.

RepoMan007:
Hmm.. see format. I refuse to fall. They cant claim it isso much more nutritious so use good fortune to justify the price. Asian Yahoo Yahoo.

Bro, they’re the ones selling, they’re the ones buying. How are you the one being scammed? lol

We’ve got similar great stuff in Africa, we just don’t know the value. Asians are known for being very protective of anything that’s uniquely found over there.

Reelmii:
40 billion ...in as much as i dont support stealing in any form...but i must say this is what u get wen staffs are not well paid...


I always say it, people who work in financial institutions should be well paid..not paying 80k

And like i said earlier, there is no justification for stealing

Padding your statement with “there’s no justification for stealing” doesn’t take away the fact that you just justified his actions. This dude worked at the head office. His position was high enough for him to have access to that amount of money, and you think he was amongst those getting 80k per month? You think a poor man would reach for N40B? Isn’t it obvious this guy has seen and enjoyed money to an extent where millions don’t count anymore? Bro, I don’t think you thought this one through.

The reason we should pay our employees well is because it is the right thing to do, not because they’d steal from us if we don’t. You don’t blackmail employers into paying you more with the subtle threat of stealing their money if they don’t. Stealing should never be an option for an employee even if he’s not well paid. Someone that would steal will likely do so when the opportunity presents itself no matter how much you pay them. That’s because our lifestyle changes the more we earn and we always need more. So let’s not sympathize with greedy folks, please.

Say no more... But crayfish though?

Lol… very important.

Nonexisting1:
Only a foolish woman will believe these men. How can someone tell you that he doesn't want to be with his wife anymore but he is busy impregnating her.

Even when a man cheats, you still find a way to make it all about women. Nawa

aurorae1:
Hahahaha, if you want more honest statements about your greatness on here for the people, let me know... I have more

Omo, my status is pending IRCC approval... Hopefully, soon, I can come back to stay I've landed o.

Hehe… etrange the great.

You’re more or less done. Please, bring crayfish and tigernuts while coming!

aestake:
You taught us how to write special characters like exclamation mark. I didn't use french skills to get in. I admire folks who did. I learn the language as I can. I am a CC with a passport and cc child.

That’s nice. Though exams could be a strong motivating factor, it’s actually more fun when you learn a new language simply because you love it. You know, without the pressure of exams and the anticipation of score-boosting results. Since you’re in Canada and very much settled, you can now learn at your own natural pace. With consistency and French speaking friends, it can only get better. With recent events, we can confidently say that learning a new language like French really does open doors of opportunity.

I am at the AOR stage after having submitted all the required documentation, I am waiting for IRCC to ask me to go for medicals and biometrics.

Super ! C'est le début de la fin.

The Man, the not-so-myth, the legend!
Thank you for the step taken to start this thread, it might have seemed blasé to do so at the time, but whether you are aware or not, this thread has been a blessing to many.

Hold on, let me take a screen-shot of this comment and put on my Whatsapp status so my friends will think I am a social media influencer!

I’m glad the thread has come this far, but the real blessing are the people that have kept it alive. Thanks to you all.

How far na? What’s your status? Or are you in Canada?

Nigerians don’t care about the specifics of any situation. Their default reaction to any marital case is to insult women, not just the woman in question but the entire gender (including their mothers and sisters). This makes me wonder the kind of home these people grew up in. Why are Nigerians so self-hating (gender, religion, tribe, etc.)? There is a thread on the first page about a DSS who serially raped disabled children under his care, but no one is talking about the male gender over there. In this case where the lady hasn’t even been proven guilty, just see how vulgar the FTC is. The commenter typed such a thing about someone they don’t know. Why are you guys so uncivil and unrefined? Why is it so difficult to have a decent conversation about a subject without you guys sounding like gutter teens?

The lady is demanding that the DNA result be made available to her. Isn’t this a reasonable demand? You accuse someone on social media and the accused person is saying you should back it up with evidence. Isn’t that simple logic? Why are you guys allowing sexism to erode your sense of reasoning? Are there no grownups on this app? Nawa

79733139:
Mr Etrange, you are the real OG! You were one of my sources of motivation to start learning French. I sent you a message several months back asking if you are in Canada, but then I saw one of your comments indicating that you are indeed in Canada now, so I edited my comment.

Salut !

Sorry, I must have missed your message. Yes, I’ve been in Canada for years. I’ve also been naturalized. It’s exciting to know I contributed to your determination to learn a whole new language. That’s a huge achievement! What about you, are in Canada? If not, what stage are you currently in?

Meanwhile, thank you for all your contributions on here, I do hope your story becomes a source of motivation to others.

SIRTee15:
To my understanding, paganism mean religions outside of the main ones and possibly could refer to animist religions.
.
I don't think traditionalists consider idols deity and most don't worship them.
They idols are mostly symbolic representation of the unseen deity but they are not deity themselves.

That's why I'm asking why those who kiss a stone for symbolic reason accuse traditionalist as idolaters?

While the definitions I gave is in line with Christian theology, the general definition of paganism (outside the prism of the Abrahamic religions) is the belief in any alternative god other than the god or gods of the “mainstream” religions. Similarly, idolatry is the worship of idols. It’s important to stress that idols here mustn’t be a physical object, it could also be any god other than the god of the speaker. This is regardless of the presence or absence of symbolic physical objects.

Now, going by these definitions, a Christian is right to call a traditionalist an idol worshiper (idol here meaning an alternative god) just as much as the traditionalist has the right to call a Christian an idol worshiper. Both are right because both believe their own god is the real god and the other’s god is an idol. However, the expressions “idolatry” and “idol worshipper” stem from Judaism. A traditionalist may have an entirely different expression for referring to people who don’t believe their gods. For example, Muslims might call Christian infidels, but Christians don’t ask why they’re being accused cause they understand it’s just a matter of point-of-view.

So you might argue that they both use symbols, but when you consider the fact that what a Christian refers to as an idol isn’t just the physical object but also the god represented by the object, then you see why they call those people idol worshippers. Like I said earlier, the traditionalists don’t have to accept that name but they also can’t cry foul cause no one is complaining about whatever name they choose to call those who don’t believe in their gods. However, to be fair, originators of these terms (Judaists, Christians and Muslims) have the power of numbers and that’s why, today, these terms have become almost synonymous with other religious beliefs other than these three. At the end, it’s all a matter of POV. That’s why we must put humanity above all.

Religious practices are basically the same at the core. Those terms you mentioned aren’t inherently bad (ideally). They are just terms that define certain religious beliefs. Peganism refers to any religion in which the followers believe that they are multiple gods and god hierarchies. Abrahamic religions don’t believe this, and that’s why they’re not referred to as peganism. On the other hand, idolatry is any religion in which a physical image, object or animal is worshipped as a deity. Again, this isn’t the case with Abrahamic religions, thus the reason they’re not referred to as idolatry.

The reason this terms have negative connotation is simply because they originated from the side of those who do not agree with the practices they define. As a pagan or idol worshiper, you aren’t obliged to refer to yourself using any of those terms (in fact, those terms don’t even exist in many non European languages). Even if you accept the nomenclature (just the way blacks internally accepted the N word), it doesn’t have to have to be perceived as negative amongst you (again, just like the N word isn’t offensive when used by a black person to refer to a fellow black person).

Finally, nothing really stops followers of non Abrahamic religions from having their own terms for Christians/Muslims. They probably do, but you wouldn’t know cause you grew up on the Abrahamic side of the divide, and that’s why you know and question their terms. One thing we can’t do, however, is force others to change their language because of us.
