Semantics as far as I'm concerned.

Like someone who's just trying to make the best of the end of the short stick of the patriarchal deal they got. Like "stooping to conquer" and "men are the head, women are the neck" kind of thing. It sounds so soullessly transactional to me. Not to mention the points being all over the place.


And like, how do you "quantify" stuff you do for each other and make it match? So sex is the "payment" for being taken care for? And when a man takes care of you, he's entitled to sex? 'Sacred sex' seems wildly contradictory to 'I can't give you free knack if you don't take care of me.'


What the bride price is also doing there, I don't know. If bride prices doesn't give the man access to A and B and C, what's the point? 'Just because you paid bride price, you can't...' for something that runs into millions based on cultural dictates is just so laughable lol. You cannot demand someone be a piper and also want to tell them how to play the tune nau lol.

Come and teach me how to be this funnily unbothered.

So the community Obi donated that Borehole to, is in Niger Republic?

Whatever happened to the say "anything that is worth doing, is worth doing well?"

It's even how you people are judging this Obi's action in isolation to other BIG BIG meaningful things he has been doing.

If one person did E, and another person who has done and has been doing A, B, C and D comes to do the same E, trust me, my reaction to them will never be the same thing. It is not hypocrisy or speaking from both sides of my mouth. It is contextual. And as Izz ou pointed out, if you have a big "office," I will expect bigger things from you. So why tf should an elected HOR member and a citizen who doesn't hold any official post be judged with the same metric?


We do not criticise politicians INDEPENDENT of their track records, and public achievements.

Is anyone following this Paul Graham tweet attributing everyday english word to GhatGPT?

Nigerians has been roasting him since morning.

It's an interesting discuss especially for writers

I've been in a persistent state of mental gloom and intellectual restlessness from the morn high to night nigh. 😂


No, like what's really my fate? 😩


Lol...I've only ever pitched a foreign publication repre— oh, God. A guy that's an editor for HuffPost sha asked for pitches, and I sent mine. I was rejected. It's only a one-time experience so I cannot exactly think this AI or no AI thing is a reason; I don't have many experiences, and there are certainly some Nigerians that write for these people. I just can't help but wonder how many other Nigerians have lost one or two opportunities due to their *mechanical writing.* I cannot even remember how I wrote the email, but knowing me...

Omo. 😂

It'll be so so fuçking jarring have to pause and start my thought process to filter out "big words" that naturally come to my head.

OasisX:


....una dey pay attention to Irrelevancies a lot. How una dey practice Religions in Nigeria eh?! LOL!

It is exactly BECAUSE of the way religion is practiced in Nigeria that managements should be careful in how they approach religions.

Oya, why the difference now? It's literally doesn't make sense. Like what is the point?

Fonts do serve purposes.

OasisX:
........is anything really wrong?! Contents are same, except changing of heading, purpose of letter and dates.

Lol... what's the point of different typefaces then? Since they're basically announcing the same thing. Should there not be a uniformity in official fonts? One obviously can see/tell that one is not like the other. Yeah, it's not a "disaster-causing" kind of thing. It's not so big enough to lead to an issue, but it's also not subtle enough to be missed by people's sensibilities. One is prettier than another and that belies thoughtfulness and preference/reverence/deference. Whichever.

Nah, I need his brand of highness; that's a level of delusion I aspire to.

folake4u:
You're a lucky girl. ☺️☺️

Please 🤣🤣.

I almost forgot I was reading about 'celebrities'. 😭


Of course, they have access to the best cosmetic surgeons. I was almost fooled thinking it's good genes and that they are aging well. 😂


They look good, though; really good.


I wish them both well.

OasisX:


......I will bring the Eclipse to your doorstep dear, ain't an Oasis for a joke. If I could bring water to the desert, nothing gonna stop me from bringing Sun and Moon to your home as special gift to a special one.

Oh, Shakespeare is shaking in his grave 😭😂.


Oasis the wordbender 🤣.



But this is so sweet fr 😊.

OasisX:


.......that's the koko má Odogwu.

Anyway, Oasis my love, the only soothing spring in the scorching slate of my life as a Nigerian woman, are we not going to fly to America to see the solar eclipse? 🥺🥺


I want to see it so bad. Do you think we can still make it cross-continent if we leave now?

OasisX:
.....thanks for the clarification and I strongly respect our traditions. However if I may, for learning sake, ask a question sir. Is it necessary to re-hand her over to Akeredolu family?!

She is married to the family and definitely part of the family for life already. I am just curious to know why its necessary to perform the rite, but I still maintain my respect for all traditions regardless.

You people are/were talking about a woman lol?


I missed the conversation.

Proserpina:

I've not even read the thread but because of your comment...

Omo...I'm actually shocked at the fact of more Nigerians than I expected being sympathetic to Bob. Everyone's like, "he might be a sissy, but the EFCC should free him. No be only him spend money anyhow, so they are just harassing him needlessly and flouting his human rights." Asin, Nigerians, the country people we all know, are separating the gender identity of Bobrisky away from the crime EFCC purported he committed. A line of reasoning they never extend to homosexuals.

"He's an homosexual? K*ll him."

"They were caught in at an all-men party? Parade them publicly. Such is not our culture."


So it's like you people will rather accept "gender benders" who ensure the status quo of masculinity/femininity than accept an "unconventional" arrangement of masculinity/masculinity or femininity/femininity or nonconformists.

Wow.

Omooo. God dey create people sha.


So disgustingly condescending. Illiterates ontop symbols for naira notes?



Mtcheeeeeeewwwwwww. So stupid and foolish. Spits.
