elasticlala: Why are you posting this on nairaland when you know that majority of the people on the platform are children, who always want to try what they shouldn’t. You will be responsible for any incidence resulting from wrong food combination of any nairalan user👨🏼🦲
Those foods contain only sugar which doesn't kill anyone suddenly How about you guys that eat rice and still drink coke/soft drink?? You don't know you're getting the same thing those who eat mango or drink garri and drink coke get? You guys should quit this myth that's based on ignorance
psychologist: Rubbish that they used to scare us aware from taking excess sugar.
They also told us that if you whistle in the night that you are calling snake
They also told us that if you bend and look in between your legs that you will see dead men walking
Poor and gullible little us
While in primary school in 1992, we sneaked out one day to the nearby market to test this, but we didn't see any damn person whose legs were not talking the ground as rumored
ablejesus26: Nwokem stop lumping ipob the Ltd registered UK group together with Igbo one of the smartest Tribe in Africa. Some of Us are Igbo and yet anti your destructive oppressive ipob, eg Massob,BRF CAN Igbo, IYG, OYC. Do Your ipob in peace and quit dragging the Region to your ipob talks.
Shameless FG army up till now them no fit crush boko
Which yeye smartest tribe? You're smart and ordinary yoruba and fulani are oppressing, marginalising and treating you like a 2nd class citizens & slaves, yet none of you can talk from year to year? Where in this world have you seen a smart slave?? Smart people can't be held down or opressed for a second, let alone for decades.
IPOB is the only group that has the courage to challenge the age-long anomaly but you ignorant ediots and cowards still join the yoruba/fulani to fight them.
If you and those useless Igbo politicians don't like IPOB's method, which better method have you been able to bring up since 1970 when the rest of Nigerians conspired to marginalize, oppress and even besiege the region?
Do you know how many checkpoints there are in just a kilometre of road in the Southeast? Do you know how many that are harassed, battered, robbed, and even killed weekly at those checkpoints? This is just one in the list of the evils the Nigerian government and her agencies are rendering to the region.
What peaceful methods have you and other "smart" ediots like you employed to solve these problems?
It's only a foool who does nothing when his house is burning but only criticises the methods other more concerned people are using. There's a problem obviously, so if you don't like the one IPOB is using, bring out your own peaceful method and solve it; if not, stop stupiid criticisms..
joinnow: Professor of wall gecko...wall gecko carries a lot of bacteria in its mouth, the tendency of one getting infected from the bacteria is high. Also, some of the bacteria multiply within a short time which can cause serious harm in one’s body within a short while.
That's a puerile excuse! Every animal, including humans, has bacteria in their mouths. The bite of a normal human is even far more dangerous than that of a normal dog. Do we then say humans are poisonous
Does the bacteria in the mouths of the wall Geckos explain the scary stories Nigerians parade around whenever a Gecko is mentioned? Those ignorant Nigerians are not talking about "poison" from bacteria; they actually thought the reptile produces poisonous substances that can wipe out families.
MaziObinnaokija: Kudos to our Military 🪖 👏..It is not easy fighting TERRORISTS. They'll surely overcome those Mo*MAD offspring..
FG should seek for IDF Assistance
You and who military Any Igboman that's using "our military" for Nigeria's Army is an ediot Nigeria's army is anti-Igbo and not "our army/military". So, we don't care how many of them are kiilled by the Boko Haram they've been pampering or by the IPOB they hate so much on ethnoreligious grounds.
elobrave17: I am the last born in my family. My Mom died few years ago. While she was alive, we were very close & loved each other. We would call each other, talk about family & life generally. I had given money to her only once and she was so happy. Since I finished from the university, I wasn't able to get a job that pay well so I didn't have enough to cope not to talk of sending money to her. She understand and didn't complain & was willing to send me if I was badly in need. Already all other of my sibling were sending money to her once in a while.
One day she had an accident and was taken to the hospital. My elder brother took her to a hospital close to him so he can be able to see her everyday after work or in between. One day I was with her on the phone and she made a DEMAND from me. She told me to send small money to my elder brother to but her something while she was in the hospital. She told me no matter how small even 5k or any amount that can buy fruits for her. She told me I shouldn't let my elder brother know that the demand is from her. She said my brother has tried a lot that I should send it so it will be like my little contribution to her stay in the hospital. Unfortunately I was waiting for salary the coming week, I was already owing and waiting for salary to come. My salary was pea nut, was Just doing the job to avoid staying at hime. I didn't know where else to borrow money from. I DIDN'T DO WHAT SHE SAID AND SHE DIED THE FOLLOWING WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL.
Few years have passed, I see her once in a while in my dream. Two days ago I saw her in my dream after a long time. We held each other and were discussing with other family members. Later she called me by the side and told me to give her some money that she wants to go to market and buy what she will cook for the family, that my siblings have given her already. I didn't have any cash with me there and I knew I had nothing in my account. I told her to go to the market that I will send something to her account before she will finish buying things. She said ok and I wake up.
I wanted to ask about this traditionally if it means anything and what am expected to do if it really means something. Then I am afraid of my siblings because in my family we don't believe in anything traditional, we don't even believe is seeking for vision or stuff like that. We are Christians and believe in God & Christ. But this particular thing has given me sleepless night for two days now & I feel I should do something about it.
Should I tell me siblings about the dream or should I make inquiry traditionally and do what they advice me?
Things aren't moving well for me and I don't know why. Your advice will be appreciated.
Don't listen to any Nigerian and his superstitious beliefs. Don't be forced to do any yeye traditional thing or consultation There's nothing spiritual about dreams; they're simply brain activities reflecting on past, present events and our subconscious thoughts. Her last request is still in your memory in your brain, and is damned to play out in your dreams from time to time. And more of it will happen as you're worried and regretful for not doing it. These repeated worries and regrets will make the incident occupy a dominant position in your subconscious thoughts, making it easier for your brain to play it from time to time in your dreams. This is the samw reason it's difficult to forget an embarrassing moment, no matter how many years ago it happened.
Somehow, making some donations to the less privileged may give you some satisfaction and help you feel less worrisome about it, and eventually delete the event from your subconscious thoughts. When this happens, it won't mean the initial problem is spiritual or that your mom's spirit has collected the money. Our people don't understand these things, and that's why they tag everything spiritual.
Even if she didn't find out, it still wouldn't have amounted to anything Wall Geckos are not poisonous and have no venoms like some snakes, spiders and scorpions. Nigerians should stop this nauseating level of ignorance It is a shame that people will pass Biology in WAEC and still believe in rubbish just because one illiterate housewife spread rumours around about what she doesn't know.
Melagros: COMRADES, I am creating this post in response to a thread created yesterday by a fellow Nairalander that; when he's married his living condition will be better! That he is tired of living in abject poverty! (I'll be very happy if the mods can attach that link to this post)
I went to see a friend today, unfortunately, when I called her, she told me that she was not around, then I decided to stroll back home; on my way home, lo and behold! This is what I saw! A family of four: 'papa, mama, senior pikin, and junior pikin' carrying dirty sack bags on their heads, immediately, my curiosity was aroused! Then I said let me trail these guys and see what they were carrying, and where they were going! After trailing them for a long distance/ journey, then I discovered that they were scavengers! In awe, and disbelief, I'd exclaimed and asked myself!...a whole family scavenging in order to survive?
FIRST PHOTO; is the last kid, age between 9-10 years old
SECOND PHOTO; is the first son age between 11-12 years old, he was the first to arrive at the selling point, you can see that he is sorting the garbage/ market
THIRD PICTURE; their father walking barefooted, when you look at the photo of the father, you'll see that from afar there is a little school boy also staring at the father and the last child, a mild drama was played out at that moment, the mother of the little boy and his sisters had already boarded an autorigshow (keke) but the little boy has refused to follow them in, he stood outside staring at the scavengers...only God knows what was in the mind of that child
LAST PHOTO; when we all arrived at the selling point, then I looked at the other direction, there, I saw their mother coming to join them; I tried to know about the transaction, then the buyer (a Hausa guy) approached me (because I looked suspicious) and asked me, 'hope it is OK', I replied him in Hausa, 'yes it is'...I lost my way, then I left them there!
My advice to every single person/bachelor out there is that; things are not longer getting better in this country, always get yourself prepared before getting a woman pregnant or married, don't allow anyone to push you into unprepared marriage and thereafter remained unarranged and scattered for the rest of your life! Thank you all
LOCATION IS PORT HARCOURT, THE CAPITAL OF RIVERS STATE. NIGERIA THE GIANT OF AFRICA!
MODIFIED: those of you quoting me that I am jobless...as a trained journalist, this is how we carry out investigative journalism
You shouldn't have shown their faces nah. If you were actually an investigative journalist, shouldn't you have learned how not to do that in your Introduction to Journalism?
WriterNig: Those with a good memory remember vividly how Russia continued to warn against Ukraine joining NATO since 2008, that's over 16 years ago.
The day of the invasion, many western countries thought Putin wouldn't dare invade, they threatened and threatened, some even thought it was just regular exercises Russia was carrying out.
Look at Ukraine today. So if you think Putin is stupid or bluffing by continously warning against Russia's security being threatened, then you don't know Russia very well. He wants it to be on record for the whole world to see, then the US will no longer be able to rewrite history just like they did in WWII.
Russia is slow to react, very patient but when they put their foot into something, there's no going back.
The US has more to lose than Russia. A nuclear war with Russia will weaken the US and pave the way for China to take over the number one spot.
The US will never recover from it, let alone retain it's status.
You ediots support oppressions and evils because of your deep-rooted anti-western sentiments. Did Ukraine join NATO or threaten Russia in any way at the time Putin invaded it in 2022? Even if it joined or was interested in joining, what exactly is wrong with a sovereign country joining any association its constitution permits?
When Nigeria joined OIC, which is somewhat an Islamic jihadi organisation, did any of you foools condemn or protest against it the same way you're opposing Ukraine's desire to join NATO? Would our neighbours, Cameroon and Benin republic, which are essentially Christian countries, have been justified to invade Nigeria for joining an Islamic organisation that might be a threat to their own countries?? If they invaded, wouldn't biased and hypocritical ediots like you have come out to defend the same Nigeria that joined OIC? Why are you creatures so biased and make very wrong and stupiid judgments?
blacksam01: ... if you go to bank and visit the account opening section, you will notice a whole lot of new couples coming to open an account for their infant kids and each vowing that, the said funds will not be mismanaged and will be passed to their kid at the right age .
I just want to know if there is anyone here who got passed such huge long savings funds from their parents...
Such practices are new. I don't expect anyone in this forum to belong to that age bracket when parents started opening accounts for their kids. Maybe for the GenZs here, it's possible
Kickstarter: It’s the same story everywhere they go
Unfortunately for the world, those jihadi bastards are gradually taking the West even without a single shot because of their useless wokeness, inclusiveness and multiculturalism.
The other day i saw some short- sighted and ignorant Nigerians attacking Kemi, who has the confidence to confront UK's new-found wokeness that comes with anti-Christianity, antisemitism, pro-LGBT, and pro-islamism.
Irrespective of what the woman said about Nigerians, these fights she is embarked on are far more important.
Nigerian and African christians should know that an Europe lost to Islam will never favour them. Those jihadists won't welcome any Christian, whether in Africa or in Europe.
I'm fully in support of Kemi's anti- Wokeism fights, irrespective of what she calls Nigerians, because Europe should never be allowed to get into the hands of the jihadists.
Calls for Jihad were made in Arabic en mass in Mississauga yesterday following the approval of its Mayor, Carolyn Parrish to hold a vigil for Hamas Yahya Sinwar, despite cancellation.

Judolisco: This government has been careful with the way they react to news, Femi Adesina and garba shehu were not so quiet.... Especially Femi.....Dis rufai talks too much.... You're talking as if IMF, WHO, or world bank has ever reported any good thing about Africa..... Even when covid refuse to kill us, instead of hailing our health care system, they said it's because we had built an immunity over the years because of our frequent treatment of malaria....
Yoruba and cunning ways of life. Why are you tryinng to avoid the topic and cunningly divert it to another thing You want Nigerians to attack IMF instead of the yoruba government in question? You'll succeed in doing that.
Omoawoke: The saddest and darkest people are competitive people. You are no different from the dullards mocking the op
You will never find true happiness with this nature of yours. I never pray to have a friend like you
You're a mumu man. I won't allow Olodos like you and them to mock me, and tell me how carrying first in class is different from making money. I've proven you guys wrong and i'm happy i did.
Why would you be afraid of competition as long as no one is holding you down?
trutharena: Hezbollah is a resistance group, not a terrorist organization.
What are they resisting in Lebanon that is not at war and not dragging territory with anyone, onye iberibe You jihadists have this twisted mindset that keeps pushing you to wars and destructions
After the 2006 war, there is a UN resolution 1701 which required them not to go beyond the Litani River towards Israel and for the Lebanese military to take control of Southern Lebanon, but they refused and flouted it.
Despite this disobedience to UN resolution, Israel didn't complain or invade Lebanon. Yet on 8/10/23, without any provocation, they started firing into Israel.
So, how are they a resistance group? What are they resisting when they are the aggressor out of their religious intolerance and hate? Does Lebanon not have an army And, what are Boko haram, ISWAP, AL shabab, Houthis, Al Qaeda, and a host of other islamic terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc, resisting? Maybe, they're all resisting your prophet. Who knows
Sonnobax15: Good day my fellow Nairalanders......Hope y'all are having a nice day + flexing on the harmattan season that's already gotten it's aroma allover the place?
So, recently,I was added to my primary school WhatsApp group......It's been over 20 years since we left primary school and it was indeed a good time to have a flashback of the memories of how and who we used to be back then as kids,under the same roof of the same classroom as classmates....
The reason for the reunion came about as a result of the fact that one of our classmates was about getting married....It was indeed a fun-filled moment as we were already vibing and reminiscing on our past
Suddenly,I began to notice how some guys were showcasing and boasting about how they have made it in life.....Some were even posting pictures of their expensive cars and beautiful houses....I was really happy for them,at least for seeing those whom I grew up with making it to the top...It actually gave me joy as I hoped to make it like them someday too
But then again,what really killed my joy was when one of them started to call out the names of those who used to take from the first to third positions in class ...The annoying part was that he sent it via voice note and was like mocking us about not being successful yet like those of them who were considered as the dullards back then in school.....I felt really pissed off😡. The fun was brutally murdered instantly and I began to notice how many people started to exit the group one after the other 😔. I wasn't left out cuz I also made sure I dusted my shoes and left too before they would post the pictures of me riding my keke ...what was supposed to bring us together only ended up disintegrating us further and made us felt like we were losers . As a matter of fact, I've vowed never to be a member of any WhatsApp group from henceforth . Cuz it seems these guys are only out to add more pains to people's depression
Have anyone experienced this kind of scenario before?
Those guys were just being very childish In my own case, I took the first position from SS1 to SS3, and luckily, I'm still doing financially better than all of them except one guy that became a bank manager and later joined politics. But I still try to outmatch him whenever we're doing donations, though I'm aware the guy's politics money pass mine . Na to avoid see finish and unnecessary insults
Today, none of my classmates, who I was teaching Maths, Physics & Chemistry then, can insult me in any way when it comes to finance/achievements. That's how it should be. Those of us who led the class academically need to do everything possible to maintain that lead. The Olodos in the class shouldn't do better than us financially and come out to insult us with ''no be who sabi book go get money pass''
Sonnobax15: . Bro,feel free to call me a coward anytime you like ,I don't care......
But you see me, I'm the kind of person whose emotions can easily be altered by what people say.....That's one main reason why I don't like being in a gathering where hate and insults are being shared..
Haa, but you're in Nairaland where hates and insults dominate. How have you been surviving here, if you're that sensitive and mindful of what others say about you
No be this morning i exchange wotowoto with one boy abi na girl, while doing my work jejely in my office? Nawaa for una we dey sensitive oo
youngsahito: oga you soynd so rude, you are here giving your preference on what you want. Now what is your budget you are saying another thing. You are not ready to stay in Lagos
But why do you need his/her budget before you can quote your various prices for the available spaces?
How sure are we that the budget she would give you wouldn't influence the prices you would quote?
Just post your prices, and allow him/her decide if they fall within his/her budget or not.
89green: Islaam, the greatest gift Allaah has bestowed on me. I wish you can understand. Alhamdulillaah
We don't want to understand it, abeg. It's a menace to the world. Your jihad/terrorism has sent millions, if not billions, to their early graves, rendered children orphans and hopeless, women widows, men wifeless, and stalled developments in lots of countries in Africa and Asia. Your religon is not something to be proud of in any conceivable way. Our prayers is for it never to have a footstep in Igboland.
Loveenthed: There is always this display of Highest Form Of STUPIDITY & FOOLISHNESS among ILKS like you.
Stupid you won't be the first nor the last. Afterall you have your whole lifetime to be stupid and foolish😂
So carry on!
Who's this stinking cockroach?? You should be ashamed of your ignorance and stupidity in believing what doesn't exist, just because you heard others say or believe in them. You primitive ediots aren't supposed to be called humans as you can't use your brains to think out or explore things as normal humans do. It's a shame you'll keep believing the same rubbish till your demise, even when you don't find any tangible evidence to support such crazy beliefs. All your evidence is hearsay and "you won't understand"! See creatures who can't understand even simple concepts in their day to day life claiming to understand a non-existent concept better than those who are far more intelligent than they are! Primitive bastards and blockheads!
malaria: What you do not know is bigger than you , i am not responsible for your level of understanding .
That's the nonsensical defence line i have been hearing for the over 40yrs i have lived on this earth None of you gullible folks have any direct experience; it's all about hear say.
