Truth be told, the activities of those fulani herdsmen (or even an average fulani person) is worrisome. I once boarded a bus with some fulani women some months back. If you see the way they were shouting in the bus all in the name of having a conversation. It got to a point where the passengers couldn't take it any longer. Upon challenging them, they became aggressive. It was at that juncture that I pushed the one beside me, I don't care whether she falls off the bus. They kept threatening us like it's their land. At that point, I knew this country is siting on a time bomb. |
OluchiDelly:Sir, I'm neither a critic nor a cynic who would allude ugly connotations to a person's assertion. While you may not really be pleased with how he has presented his points, but again, it's his personal opinion. I don't want to believe you're trying to give his dog a bad name in order to hang it. Else, you would have seen the point he was trying to raise. He was just stating his opinion that condolence alone is enough a way of commiserating with a bereaved. And that the idea of contributing anything to a bereaved(according to him) doesn't amount to anything at all. Now, see why I'm 50% in support of his opinion; At a certain time in my Univ days, I lost my mum. My colleagues at the department volunteered to contribute for me but I declined. I queried the motive behind such contribution and the purpose it's going to serve. I bluntly told them that 'RIP is just enough'. And that whoever wishes to commiserate any further may attend her burial in Lagos. Funny enough, they diverted the money into hiring a bus which conveyed them down to Lagos. Interestingly, I was so elated to see them in Lagos. My own canopy would have been so scanty if not for them. Apart from coming to sympathise with me, they held my street to a standstill with their 'Kegite' display such that everybody was impressed. The Visiting Prof of this thread(Ravensckar) was even part of those 'Awo boys' that entertained the audience with their 'Aroism'. If only that day's colourful display could bring back my mum The point I'm trying to make is that, there are many ways through which one can sympathise with a bereaved; 1- Contributing money to help ease the burden of any burial expenses. 2- Being physically present at the burial as a way of sharing in the person's pain. 3- Just sending a condolence message. Although, each and every one has it's advantages and disadvantages. So, if someone is of the opinion that 'condolence message alone is enough'. I don't think the person should be crucified. That one is not satisfied with the way and manner he has said it, that's just like attempting to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it. #MyHumbleOpinion# |
olafisoyeibukun:I think you've a valid point there. sending condolences to a bereaved is enough a way of commiserating with him. In as much as I'm not opposed to the idea of voluntarily contributing for him as a show of our solidarity during this trying times. My metaphorical stance of sitting on a very tall iroko is aimed at having a clearer view of the whole situation. Whichever way the pendulum swings, I go with the swing. But nobody should castigate you for stating your personal opinion. Afterall, the great Aristotle once opined 'Where all thinks alike, then none thinks at all...' |
artisticallyart:Youth leader kwa I'd prefer the women leader title if Avicky will happily relinquish it to me. ![]() Besides, I'm still waiting for you pple that are my Ogas in the house to take the first step so that I can follow suit. PS: If it's because of what happened the other day that made you think I'm an aggressive fellow I guess you're mistaken. I'm not aggressive, I only don't know how to hold back when attacked. |
Tinablack:While I was pondering on the best advice to give him, I saw yours. That settles it then, I guess he should use himself for money ritual. Lolz! ![]() |
Sunnypar:I'm using this medium to sympathise heartily with GoldenDr on the demise of his dear father... May the Almighty give him the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. Meanwhile, whatever it is that the EXCOS of this thread decide that we contribute to support him, I'll definitely contribute mine. For now, I'm sitting on a very tall iroko tree watching the unfolding event. #Fingers crossed# |
Is this another female bashing thread? ![]() Instead of some guys to simply state their 'turng-off' in a lady, they resorted to needless bashing. Na wa o! We don really suffer for una hand no be small. #Watching all of them guys from a palm tree# |
'If your life depends on my love, you will live beyond life because I love you above all imagination...' Was sent to me by a toaster. Although, I cherish the quote so much that I bookmarked it. That one no still make me gree for am because I know sey all na format. ![]() |
avicky:Haba! That one don pass nau, since yesterday night. Them wan see craze and I show them just small craze. ![]() |

Slimzjoe:That's their genetic makeup. To always poke nose into other people's affair. No mind most of them though, na wetin dem go chop dem dey find... |
Mtchew! Pay him which money? The one both of you wrote an agreement before giving to you abi? ![]() Don't be surprised, once you give in. He'll continue to demand sex from you under the guise of that money... See, this case is as simple as ABCD. Since he's trying to take advantage of you, why not show him he's not half as smart as 'We' are. Next time he approaches you on this issue, try recording all that he's saying. You could even arrange with some of your friends who would hid themselves in your room. Once the he-goats comes to have sex, allow him to UnCloth, then, signal your friends to come out of hiding. By then, they would beat him mercilessly and take pictures of his uncladness. ![]() That's what 'we' call fastest finger. He wants to coerce you into having sex with him just because he helped you then. Guys them gan self ![]() Being thinking with their third leg since 1856BC. |
ravensckar:Dearie, I've the utmost respect for you o! Now that you've appealed to me, I hereby surrender. #Singing Cece Winan's I surrender# But please, put a leash on all these online attack dogs o. Make dem no misbehave reach where I dey again, else, I wouldn't hesitate to engage them again. Oya, let's go home. Olowo ori mi! |
MrOlai:Seriously? ![]() By like analogy, you're just like a parrot that merely repeats what it hears without understanding the import of what is said to it. Of course, being a parrot that you are, you're a creature without reason. You cannot comprehend, you can only repeat the insult that has been dished out to you. You m*ron! Now, I'll advise you swerve down a hill where you'll land in a pit in which you'll rot forever. Adagba madanu! |
nitane25:I've heard you o! I hereby hands off! But wait, lemme give this Homo-erectus (Mr Olai) one bad mouth before I log out ![]() |
ravensckar:Visiting Prof, sorry to disappoint you tonight. Please, allow me finish all of them off for good. I've got the megabyte, time, and energy. ![]() Exactly what you observed, gangsterism is the order of the day here. Any little issue, e-insurgents would just swam like flock of sheeps. And trust me, one after the other, I'll slay them all. Please ehn, if you know you can't stand it any longer, kindly go and sleep. You'll hear the whole story tomorrow. I carry mat come here tonight. |
MrOlai:is that all the insults you've got in your dictionary of abuses? ![]() You can try harder! You this st*pid sl*g of a thousand father! You checked my pix right, how about rechecking your own so that your HBP can increase in ten folds. Imbec*le! |
nitane25:Just see them! Ehn, see what they are typing up there. Honestly, I'm battle ready for any e-id*ot tonight. Please ehn, so that I wouldn't offend you. I'm apologising in advance. Forgive me for all that I've typed and all those I'm still gonna type. ![]() |
kendraloops:Who's this micro-organism? Have you ever seen me insult anyone on this forum before today? Please post evidence! It has been long that nitwits like these have invaded this thread, raining abuses at will. Bullying people into accepting their mendacious assertions. I just decided I had to serve them a dose of their medicine today. If truly your brain hasn't become dysfunctional, you could trace this whole issue back to the previous pages to see who started the insult. Mrs Moraliser! Please, spare me any of your preaching. So, she didn't consider her age or motherly status before posting gibberish abi? See, I'll just dismiss this your first post with the wave of my hand because as far as I'm concerned, you're merely grandstanding. Try quoting me again and I wouldn't spare you! |
Kazrem:Another wailing wailer spotted! ![]() Shey I told you, by the time I begin with you, you'll deactivate your nairaland account. Jejely I siddon my own, you wan show me sey you get bad mouth. I could have decided to ignore your insults, but I found out it had become you people's way of life on this forum to always bully all those that don't agree with some of your fallacious assertions. U don buy wahala today! Keep it coming! |
MrOlai:*Yinmu* Here's another NCE sympathiser! Do you even understand the crux of the matter at all? Or you simply have a problem with comprehension! For your information, I didn't start the name-calling, your henchmen did. Scroll up and you'll see all the names they dished out at me. Why should the one who stepped on a millipede cry blue murder even when the millipede has not raised it's voice in protest? For a sympathiser like you, inherently not gifted with a faculty of discernment. Why should I take your insults personally? ![]() Just like the germans would say 'Est ist ein Ziel' meaning this is just the beginning. ![]() |
manjuninho:*Yinmu* All that you've written above can simply be termed 'fallacy of appeal to sympathy (argumentum ad misericordiam). Tell me another story abeg! |
