The only positive thing he has succeeded in doing since he assumed office is to marry off his daughters. Other than that, he is a colossal failure in governance.
Family / Re: How Do I Handle This Kind Of Woman? by Fawklicant: 10:16pm On Sep 02, 2020
Your name says it all about your personality. You are a danger to yourself. What I don't understand is why young people feel the need to cohabit with women they aren't married to. It beats me.
Go and marry her already.

Your woman can do what she does because she knows that you are weak. Don't get me wrong, this is no redpill blue pill crap, it's just my observation. Stop putting yourself in a position where a woman leeches off you.
If you want to marry her, put your affairs in order, otherwise, send her back to her parents and go see your daughter from time to time.
All these excuses of "my parents were never there for me" that some folks give is becoming stale. It's like it has become an excuse for aberrant behaviour. Is that supposed to make us empathize with you for living with a woman who isn't your wife? If you so much want to be there for your child, why not marry her mom? You impregnate her, cohabit with her having her perform wifely duties, but refuse to do the needful. Why won't she act up?
You need to get your sh1t together because even if you marry someone else now, you'll still have similar problems.

Why would her parents even allow her to live with a man that isn't her husband? I'm sorry to say this but all parties involved in this are mentally effed up. No offense intended.

I remember the first time I saw pubic hair was the day Friday and I went out to ease ourselves during break session. As my eyes turned towards Friday's pipipi I saw hair all over the place and out of shock and surprised, I asked him what was that and he just replied that with time I will get to understand.

I know, his happiness is the most annoying to me, when I cooked and all, as if I didn't wanna do it, as if he wasn't the one that was broke, since he gave me the money for the food, he has been complaining he has no money again. He wants his bread and cake same time.
Till now, he hasn't given me the money to make my hair and frowning that I'm asking him money when I know he doesn't, he said he would be more than happy to do them for me bla bla bla.

The problem with folks is seeing tell tale signs about their partner and thinking they can make their partner change. Sorry you can't. Whatever traits you see now will be magnified X 10 in marriage. Be advised.
Tomorrow you'll still be compared to his friend's wife that gave him twin boys when you gave him only a girl.
He is not even ready to marry you so stop wasting your time with him. It ran while it lasted but sometimes you need to let go before you set yourself up for a life of misery and anguish.
Education / Re: 4-Year-Old Girl Destroys School Properties. Teacher Reacts Calmly (Video) by Fawklicant: 9:49pm On Aug 26, 2020
Mindlog:
The tantrum may be a sign of an underlying disorder, more likely under disruptive behaviour disorders. I regularly experience such at the child psychiatric clinic where I do take shifts, 5 year olds smashing their parents phones to making efforts to destroy sensory balls used for their therapy.

The underlying disorder is that she is mimicking what one or both of the parents does most likely her mother. Americans like to tag a disorder to every social deviant behaviour. The disorder is called indiscipline. It's that simple.
Kids are good at copying what adults do in their presence. That behaviour the child displayed is the typical behaviour of an african american woman. When angry, destroy things you didn't buy with your money. Break sh1t up.
When angry, they throw rationality to the dogs and let their anger get the best of them. Just hurt somebody or break shit up. That's the motto.
Religion / Re: BISHOP OYEDEPO: Is CAMA Policy Antichurch? by Fawklicant: 6:19pm On Aug 25, 2020
The govt has no business with religion much less regulating christianity.
Set aside the ill feeling towards pastors flying jets. Set aside thier lavish lifestyles. Government has no business regulating or meddling with christianity, appointing trustees and all. That's all shades of wrong.
They have come against your freedom, you kept quiet. They came for your lands with RUGA, you kept quiet. They kill us in southern kaduna. We are quiet. They slapped us with hate speech. We are all quiet.
They have become emboldened and come after your church and the foolish ones amongst us are cheering them up because they don't like pastors flying jets. If you don't like that (like me) stop putting your money there and use your brain.
But honor God by resisting evil. The govt is evil for meddling with the church of Christ.

Don't be stupid. If you choose to remain stupid, everything will be taken from you in due course.

Say a big NO to this evil CAMA act. It's unfortunate that a supposed pastor is the VP.

Honestly, I fear for the kind of young men in this generation.
You want two sisters for 50 thousand, just because one is your gf. Did anyone put a gun to your head to give money?
Don't start what you can't finish.

It's not a "men" thing, it goes both ways. It's a perverted generation with very little scrupples.
People need to learn to draw the line where adventure ends and wickedness begins. Anybody that lets their libido to control them is messed up.

It's unfortunate that you made them comit their life's savings to the new rent because of your 50k promise. It's even more unfortunate that you have no sense of self worth hence the demand you made.
One thing you need to realize is that hunger can make people do things they would not ordinarily do ab initio. That girl ordinarily would not stop low to the level of a scoundrel but the reality is that she did. She doesn't like you enough to date you, yes but if not for hunger games, she wouldn't even look at you twice.

What you are doing is taking advantage of her condition. Pray you don't find yourself in a position where your only available helper decides to use you.

Give them the 50k and move on with your life. That's the responsible thing to do.

Politics / Re: 5 Things Nigeria Is Best Known For Around The World by Fawklicant: 2:12am On Aug 20, 2020
Eriokanmi:
It's more than 5.

6- Education( Nigerians are highly placed globally, thanks to our exposure to Western education. Every year, Nigerian students always break one academic record or the order in various disciplines, some records as old as 80 years broken with proofs )

7-Sports( Some of the famous boxers in this generation have Nigerian roots. If you get to Germany and you tell them you're from Nigeria, the first thing that comes to their mind is JayJay Okocha)

8-IT (Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter have a number of Nigerians working for them. I remember one of obasanjo's sons currently holding a key position at Microsoft. Philip Emeagwali makes Nigeria as a nation more popular in this field)

9-Fraud( you know what I'm saying )

10- Cleverness ( 99% of whites always prefer to recruit Nigerians in the US and UK)


Forget about bad belle African brothers, the first expectation of you as a Nigerian is that you are smart, confident and an achiever. That's the very first thing people know about us and that's what intimidates our African brothers.
A Nigerian will most likely excel where others have failed or are struggling whether good or bad. That thirst for success is amplified in us due to the economic situation back home and the various rivalries back home.

Yes Nigerians are also known for scams but we are one of the smallest Frys in the game compared to USA, India, China, Russia etc.
Politics / Re: The Return Of Igbo's That Migrated To IDU/IGODOMIGODO And IDAH Before 800AD by Fawklicant: 1:51am On Aug 20, 2020
frankdoz:
THE RETURN OF SOME IGBOS THAT MIGRATED TO IDU/IGODOMIGODO AND IDAH BEFORE 800AD.

Recently I have heard a few of people who say some igbo speakers who also bear igbo native names are not igbos , some claim they came from either Benin or igala .Or some self acclaimed historians claim igbos are not of same ancestors.Some even went ahead to say igbo was imposed on them.There is a saying that a lie repeated too often will be assumed to be true.This article is to address some of the misconceptions and prove that igbos are one people, same ancestor wether your migration story is from Idu(Benin) or igala. .

1.Idah and igodomigodo/idu are part of the earliest sphere of igbo migration before 8th century AD. Migration is part of human evolution and humans are not static. Igbos have always moved from one location to the other in search of greener pastures and arable land for farming from prehistoric times and igbos are known for that even till today.

2.According to Nancy C.Neaher(awka who travel) ,the igbo area of southeastern Nigeria is one of the most populous region of sub-saharan Africa ,with a human density of 1,000 per square mile.In addition, in the book,cambridge history of Africa before 1600AD,it stated that the population distribution of eastern Nigeria is a high density belt.So it's not surprising that igbos from prehistoric times had migrated to Idah and Delta-Benin environs due to high population density in search for arable virgin land for farming which was there major occupation .This movement is estimated to have occurred before 8th century AD, long before the advent of kingdoms in idah and Benin which subsequently led to the recoil of these igbos back to the eastern region.

3.Igbos have formed part of the nucleus of the multiethnic population at Idah before the settling of igalas and advent of igala kingdom. Its on record, as documented by G,T BASDEN(among the igbos of Nigeria) and Nancy C.Neaher(awka who travel) that the awka blacksmithers travel beyond the borders of ibo country ,north into igala, ibaji, idoma,warri and beyond, casting bronze,brass iron bells,hoes,according to specifications.Most times awka blacksmithers spend months and years away from igboland plying there trade and the possibility of establishing igbo settlements at these distant places can not be ruled out.This trade is estimated to have begun before 8th century AD (igbo ukwu bronzes) but however it became apparent in the 14th century AD following excavations made at awka (D.D HARTLE, 1966 page 26),GENERAL HISTORY OF AFRICA (Africa from 7th -11th century AD page 522.

4.Awka Smith always worked alongside Nri priest(patron and founder of the Ozo title) and they made and fabricated the ozor staff(ofor) ,iron bells and other ritual staves for the Nri priest. It's on record that the Nri Influence extended beyond the igbo sphere into southern igala where igbos had earlier migrated and Idu/igodomigodo which later became Benin ,Nancy C.Neaher(awka who travel).

5.Nri Influence (9AD) extended beyond the shores of igboland into south of igala and igodomigodo(igbanke igbos in present Edo state) all of which igbos had earlier migrated in prehistoric times,(according to a book GENERAL HISTORY OF AFRICA (Africa from 7th -11th century AD by M.El Fasi) .On the west of Niger River,Nri priests along side Awka blacksmithers Made Ofor wands(staffs) for igbos along that axis(from Anioma down to Benin(igbanke igbos).Ichi facial scarification were also Noted among igbos in Delta and eastern side.They maintained ties of loyalty with Nri priestly cult by cleansing grave social infractions and abominations and conferring of rights of leadership (interesting narratives of olaudah equano 1745AD and Nancy C.Neaher(awka who travel) .So there was a prehistoric movement of igbos up north (idah) ,followed by migration and drift downward of igala from Wakuri in Taraba (Attah of igala HRH Dr Michael Idakwo-punch 2017) and migration of some igala into northern igboland to seek refuge due to raids in the extreme north of igala by sokoto jihadists in 1834 (igbo-igala borderlands by Austin.J.Shelton page 18).Igala later(late 1800) imperial Influence on northern igboland was kept in check by activities of the Aro.

In an interview granted to Obi agbogidi chukwunwike anyasi of odumuje-unor kingdom, delta state,he clearly stated that Nri priests performed rituals at the palace of Oba of Benin (genesis of migration of Ezechima to Benin from igboland) and this point was further supported by M.D W Jeffrey in his book Oreli mask Nigerian field, volume 10.He noted that Nri priests were performing certain ritual functions at the installation of a new oba of Benin.

6.As noted by Nancy Neaher,Nri Influence extended beyond northern igboland into idah where igbo settlements had earlier dispersed(ibaji,akpanya, olamaboro) from prehistoric times before the establishment of igala kingdom .Nri priests,along side Awka blacksmithers made iron bells, hoes,armlets,leg bands in igala and took over production (Boston 1964). R.N Henderson noted in the book GENERAL HISTORY OF AFRICA (Africa from 7th -11th century AD ) that royal bells made by awka blacksmithers were included in the burial of igala kings.In exchange for the services rendered, the awka blacksmithers brought back dried fish,maize,yams,elephant hair necklaces and horses which they used for sacrifice Alusi (Nancy Neaher ). The true igala/Benin migrants Into igboland are few and mostly located at the igbo-igala ,Benin-igbanke igbos borderlands and those migrants met existing igbo settlements on ground.

7. Its important to note that the subsequent rise of igala kingdom in the north and Benin empire in south led to the decline of Nri Influence in the igbo country that span from the borders of Benin (igbanke igbos in present Edo state ) down south and akpotos(igala/idah) up north and ijaw being there closest neighbours in the Delta borders (G.T BASDEN "among the ibos of Nigeria) page 28.

8.With the rise of Benin kingdom in the south and hostilities in the kingdom, many of these igbos that had migrated there prior to this time (Ezechima, Akalaka etc) began to return home.There deliberate migration towards the east, crossing the Niger river back to Onitsha shows they knew where they came from.As already noted in the book, cambridge history of Africa before 1600AD,page 273,the density of population in eastern region was already high before 1600AD when Ezechima and family is said to have left Idu/igodomigodo. So migrating in reverse, against an already densely populated area must be a deliberate move heading home and its unlikely they arrived onitsha a virgin land.

9.Thesame recoil event Also happened with igbos already spread up north to idah.The igala kingdom and subsequent hostilities,many of these igbos returned back to Nsuka,Enugu Ezike northern igbo borders. please note.non of the said igbos that returned from Benin or idah spoke any other language on arrival to igboland except igbo.They all had igbo names and spoke igbo on arrival to igboland. No history book documented they spoke any other language other than igbo.This further proves that they had already migrated there in prehistoric times and only returned back home.As igbos have always been decentralized societies,with the priestly cult of Nri widely known and fulfilling the needs of igbos at that time all over igboland, the system of government is not military. it's not surprising if the history of early kings of agbor are from Benin. origin of kingship is not always origin of a people. The rise of igala or Benin kingdom may have Imposed some conventions among igbos within there sphere, but that doesn't take away the fact they have always been there and retained there igbo identity.

10.So contrary to what some believe that some igbos are not of same ancestor, igbos have always been one and ancestral in there land.wether your migration story says your ancestors migrated from around Benin or igala, igbos have always been igbos and those that migrated to distant places only returned back home because archaeological findings have shown igbos are aboriginal occupants of southern Nigeria with settlements dating since 3000BC.(Thurstan Shaw-Radiocabon dating in Nigeria, 1968.

You all need to stop being so competitive over nothing. So a people trying to understand their roots and origins properly has become recolonization? Some of you need to stop this ignorance. Erudite scholars wrote their findings and someone compiled and summarized them for folks to understand their origin. How is that recolonization?

That was a small python that could not possibly constrict you. Pythons are not venomous so for the most part not harmful to humans until they get sizeable enough to eat you or bite you. The bites are still non venomous.

Hello people. smiley My name is Taiwo and I am a portrait and nature photographer based in Nigeria. Today, August 19 is world photography day. cheesy I had an encounter with a snake around May, and I have decided to share the experience today. cool I did my NYSC P.O.P on August 16, so, by May, I was still a corper.

It was in Akure, Ondo state. There was no electricity (as usual). undecided Our landlord turned on his generator and we took the opportunity to charge. smiley After plugging our devices, some of us sat outside to receive fresh air and wait till 9pm (when the generator will go off). grin. I was reading a novel with my disloyal Torchlight (Just wait to see the disloyalty grin) and my back was resting on the fence. So, it was some minutes past eight and everyone has gone inside to do one thing or the other. I was alone outside. cool

Suddenly, I started having this farmilar feeling of "something wants to happen". undecided I initially thought maybe a scorpion was around or something. I turned on my Torchlight to shine around me, I didn't see nothing. My body was supposed to calm down after doing that, but it didn't. I instantly knew something bad was around the corner. My heart raced faster. sad I didn't know what told me to on the Torchlight again and shine it right beside me!! Brothers and sisters, by my left, I saw a fairly big royal python coming towards me !! shocked shocked shocked it was very close to me!!! shocked shocked. Immediately the light from my torch fell on it, it stopped and kind of looked up at the light!!!!! That was the moment my very wicked Torchlight decided to blink twice and go off!! cry cry cry grin grin. Ladies and gentlemen, cool, the speed at which I jumped up from the plastic chair amazes me till today!! grin cheesy cheesy I shouted blood of Jesus and ran inside the lodge to alert others. The ladies stayed back. undecided of course!! grin we looked for sticks and I made sure I didn't smash the head more than once, because, the photographer in me just saw an opportunity to take pictures of a python! cool The devil suggested I preserve it in my room till the next morning!! shocked shocked. What if it wakes up and decides to cuddle me in the midnight? smiley grin

So, I took a few shots the next morning and replaced the slightly smashed head in Photoshop. cool Nobody helped me to hold the dead snake or the stick it was on. Very challenging, but, I got the shot and I am happy.
Shots were taken on my Nikon d40x and 55-200mm lens. I need a better camera for wildlife and stuffs. Yes I know!! But, economy is hard. cheesy

cc help me push it to the promise Land. grin grin

What in nature are you photographing when you've already destroyed it by killing it?

My brother, it is not your hate, it is her hate. Let her continue. Why are you perturbed? You need to learn to curve badly. Her hate stems from the disappointment she feels over things not having worked out between the two of you.
You don't need to sit her down like someone said here, all you need is time. Move on. Eventually, time heals all wounds. One day, she will extend the olive branch, of her own free will.

If someone is hates you, it's their burden to bear, not yours. At the end of the day, I don't think she hates you. She is just frustrated at how things have turned out, but for your own good, MOVE ON from that relationship. Those nasty traits you see there are magnified X 10 in marriage. Can you cope?

You mustn't comment with this crass ignorance and hatred everytime on every topic that has nothing to do with igbos. This hatred is unbecoming for a people that have not done anything to you but hold a different outlook on life. You might think the internet is a faceless media but opinions get shaped here. People get influenced here. Be careful what you say as your word will always find it's way back to you.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion however different it is from yours. It doesn't make their stand less valid nor authenticate yours. In life there will always be variations. Variety is the spice of life.

Free yourself from hate. That energy could be expended in tackling those who have mortgaged your future on the alter of greed and avarice all in the name of leadership.

You lack the mental capacity to have a girlfriend. You need to focus on money making as that's what you are obviously good at. Cut the parasite off totally. Totally! Totally!

Focus on self development. Develop self restraint and discipline because you lack such. You get easily carried away by women. Typical woman wrapper. Go on and make more money. You don't need a girlfriend now until you have set life goals and started pursuing them. Anyone that doesn't fit into your life's plan gets dropped along the way.
Romance / Re: My Fiancee Insists We Spend N500k Or Less On Our Wedding But I Want To Spend N1M by Fawklicant: 2:49am On Jul 22, 2020
Ninobraw:
I am a guy of 29 years old and she's 24 years old she is a nurse and she is working and earning good salary, we have been dating for the past 3 years ever since she came into my life things have been moving forward between the space of three years I was able to buy a land and build two flat(almost completed) and also buy a nice car. all this was possible because she was in my life. she assisted me with the money she accumulated before she met me, (2 million naira) gave it to me to add it to the money I was using to build the house, she has really be the best thing that has happened to me. we both has never cheated on each other, I'm very happy having her in my life during the period of covid 19 my business was shut down totally she was the one that sustain me Although and never complained.

she later resigned from her nursing work and started her own chemist shop, I supported her with 300k she rejected it and asked me to add it to the money for house project. she is making some good money from her store any way.

Now we plan to do our marriage by December and I budgeted more than 1 million naira.
the problem is that she insisted that it is too much that I should not spend more than 500k that's been a problem to us but later settle it. because she won't just listen to me she wants me to spend less than that the reason why I wanted to spend more than 1 million Naira was because she deserve it.

so because of that we adjusted the marriage to three months time since it's just 500k I am spending now my question is can I spend 500k for a moderate marriage? And I wanted to do something tangible for her because she deserve more than everything I have, please what other things can I do for her that will be equivalent to everything she has done for me.

since we have been dating she has never ask me for big money and also when ever I give her she always tells me that she gat money that no need to give her, in fact she love me so much that she don't even accept money from me unless gift. now I want to do something tangible for her because since I have been dating her she doesn't allow me spent on her that much, and she doesn't complain

Oga! Stop thinking like a toddler. Is wedding a form of compensation? Is it an investment? You have a woman reasoning properly like a man should and you are reasoning like many women do. You better sit up and man up. You will do right by her if you invest properly in your future and build a good life together. Not a wedding.
Since you have been attending weddings, have you ever walked up to the celebrants to thank them for the food and everything? I guess not. So why would you want to waste money on an event that would last five hours when you aren't a rich person?

Give yourselves a good life. That's all she wants.

My advice is based on the assumption that your funds are legit. If you've acquired or plan to acquire your funds illegally, then think again.

purelyobjective:
I'm 31 male, fulani ,bsc in view,single.Please I need to know from those real players one or two tricks on how to get out of the ghetto.I mean how do I remain focused on becoming rich in a world full of hate and with no role model.I am about to cash out 2.5 million naira and this is a once in a lifetime offer.No role model,no business strategy and this is scaring the shit out of me. I don't want to cash out this doh and fall back to zero.How do I make this count? Real players,real legit hustlers who made it out of the ghetto,please help me out.

You have no biz idea nor experience. You probably have no skills.
Resist the urge to spend outside your present means or show off. Your right hand shouldn't know your left hand's worth if you know what I mean.
Fix that money in a deposit or buy FG bonds with it. Or do both. Focus on developing some skills and learning a biz if possible. Not crash learning o. Do it proper.
Because you have money, every business will begin to look lucrative to you and that's how you'll lose everything.
Whenever you want to start a biz, start very small. Very very small. And use the little capital to test the waters and make your mistakes. Inject capital in small amounts as needed until the biz runs very profitably.
If biz is not your forte, after fixing the money, hustle like you don't have money and focus on completing your education and getting some professional skills and certifications and use your capital to travel to Canada and further your studies/build your life. BUT you have to first of all visualize where you want to be in a few years time and design a road map to your goals. If you freestyle, then you may likely regret it.

Make una respect our culture for once... We are Africans abeg


Some things are better left the way they are !!!

You deserve happiness in life for this comment especially coming from a lady. People feel they must question every African cultural practice but accept foreign ones. In life there is symbolism. Even the Bible depicts similar symbolism in several cases.
Symbolism and numerology is found across diverse cultures. Uphold yours and let others uphold theirs as long as it doesn't hurt or affect you negatively. Na wao

Tell her to stop calling you for a while. Let her see reasons why you are making this decision

I don't know between you and the op who is more childish. A girl clearly turns you to spare tube, not tire o, for three years and calls you just to pump you up for when she will need to use you in case the main tire scatters and you are asking him to call her and tell her reasons... What bumboclaat fuckery! Men are too weak these days. Most of you shouldn't be having girlfriends let alone getting married. You all are acting like Wimps and that's why these women are getting more brazen. There is an acute shortage of real men.
