Tender love is blind

Education - not literacy - cures ignorance.

Yhinkss:
Looking for dirt in a distilled water. Always lurking and looking for where to berth and latch on since the misrule has been exosed.
Where was he when the phantom looting was on? Did he ever make a case or statement? Where was he when 16 was greater than 19? Is he a first time csenator or was he not part of the rot since?
.
Was has been his contribution in the senate since this dispensation order than to make statements on twitter and social media or was that the work of a senator?
.
Please help me ask mr twitter senator the bill he has sponsored or co sponsored or rather any debate he had partake in because I have never seen him only sitting and remain useless ever since . So he should rather put himself to good use instead of lookin for peoples statement and the mistake or flaws
.
If you can't engage in expository or useful answers as always in the trait of children of hate and sadists who latch on to personalty stay off because it is in their blood. See examples quoting now

I wonder what kind of reply someone like you deserves; you don't even know when Ben Bruce started being a senator. Your ignorance is appalling. Mind you, you haven't made any sense at all.

I'll pick number 1 as the mother. Age can only be managed, not concealed.

I can't believe my phone!

Please, who has an idea of when the current 2015 batch A corps members will be passing out? Be kind enough to share whatever info you have. Thanks.

An embodiment of consistency. I envy you. Btw, how did you arrive at 50?

I'll also go for 50.

Can you solve this?

I don't have a bible, but I wouldn't mind rushing to buy one and setting it on fire for the money.

Saying the student was Albert Einstein deflates the whole essence of your story. It's a lie.

Omoluabi. By Pius Adesanmi. “Hello, Chief, Chief, Chief, can you hear me?” “Yes, hello, I can hear you? Who is on the line?” “Chief emi ni o. High Chief Falae in Akure.” “Ah, Chief Chief! E ku ojo meta o. It’s been three days o.” “Ojo kan pelu. It’s been more than three days jare Chief. How’s Lagos? Has your Governor arrived yet?” “Ibo lo lo to nbo de? Where did he go that he will be arriving from Chief? He is like his predecessors. Abeg, Chief, let’s forget travelers without destination and talk about better things. Roli and I planned to come and visit you after you were released by those Fulani herdsmen. We thank God for your life o.” “Thank you jare Chief Bode. I am yet to find the mouth with which to tell my story. Yoruba land would have gone to war if anything had happened to me. Imagine Fulani hoodlums kidnapping me on my own farm in Yoruba land! A whole me!” “Exactly, Chief. We would not have taken it at all from those yeye Fulani. Because they are now in power, they think they can behave anyhow on Yoruba soil. Buhari does not know how to treat Yoruba elder statesmen. Maybe it is because they do not have omoluabi where he comes from. Jonathan has a little omoluabi in him. I have a theory that there must have been a little trace of Yoruba blood in his great grandfather. Whereas Buhari is hounding us with his Fulani herdsmen, Jonathan invaded Yoruba land with two billion dollars during the election and did omoluabi to all the elders of the land.” “Kai, Chief Bode, dapada! Which omoluabi is Jonathan? He is not an omoluabi o. Asiri okunrin buruku yen ti tu. That is in fact why I have called you. They have no elders where Jonathan comes from.” “Chief Falae sir, I’m afraid you’ve lost me.” “Chief Bode, ki ni o ye yin ninu oro mi? What is so difficult to understand in what I am saying? Have you noticed that all of us elder statesmen were shortchanged in the Dasuki business? Look at Chief Anenih, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, and the two of us. Look at the ridiculous figures we all got. And we were even mandated to spread our own omoluabi down the chain o. Now, look at what all these small small boys got. See ordinary Iyorchia Ayu…” “Ah, my Chief, you have a point o. E ma de tun ri yen so o. I was surprised when I heard what Iyorchia got for special consultations.” “Chief, kekere ma tie ni ti Iyorchia. The most painful part for me was hearing what this small boy got. Ki ni won ti n pe boy amugbo yen na? What’s his name again? That boy who ran Jonathan’s campaign?” “Chief, you mean that former Aviation Minister? The one who bought a Range Rover for…?” “Ehen, thank you! God bless you, Chief Bode. Yes, the boy who bought a Range Rover for his girlfriend. I had initially thought that that was all he got from Jonathan o. Now I am hearing that he got far more than us, his elders. He got about N1.7 billion. And that is not counting what he said he got from private donors o. Ha, Chief, won ti je wa m’aiye! They have cheated us!” “Chief Falae, now that you put it this way, I am getting really angry. But, unlike you, I won’t blame Jonathan sir” “Why not, Chief George?” “Well, Jonathan is not our son in Yoruba land. He does not understand omoluabi principles. That Range Rover boy ni mo ri ba wi. It is the fault of the Range Rover boy. He has no proper Yoruba home training. Otherwise, he would have understood that when an outsider gives him more yams than his elders, he should take the said yams to his elders and say, “my fathers, I want you to have these yams”. We would then take the yams and give him small out of it. That is the proper omoluabi way to treat elders. Instead, he lets us hear on the pages of newspapers that he got more than all of us combined. Chief, I am really worried about what the young men of nowadays are doing to our culture in Yoruba land. Our values are lost. No respect for elders.” “In that case, what do you suggest we do, my Chief.” “Good question, I say we summon him to a meeting at your end in Akure tomorrow and tell him to repair his omoluabi lesekese. He must address the situation at once!” (The following day, the two Yoruba elder statesmen are in Akure. They wear mournful faces. The Range Rover boy arrives in a long convoy. He descends from his car, dressed in full Igbo war regalia. As he approaches the two elders, he is chanting “nzogbu nzogbu enyimba enyi”.) “Hey, hey, hey, will you stop singing that Igbo war chant? Where do you think you are? What do you think you are doing? Se ori e pe sha Femi? Are you okay?” “My Fathers, I apologize. You summoned me from the war front. I came straight from the war front because I hold you in such high esteem.” “War front?” “Yes sir. We are fighting for Biafra. It’s Biafra or nothing. It’s a cause we are prepared to die for. We are tired of being oppressed in Nigeria.” “We? Biafra? You are Biafra?” “Yes, Chief, we are oppressed. We will not take it. We will fight Buhari to a standstill” “Ha! Ikunle o! Who did this to you, Femi? You said you were a specialist in sleeping with their women. A tie gbo yen. When did you become a specialist in fighting their battles?” “Chief, how I chose to fight for my people is not your business. Why did you summon me here sir?” “Well, Chief Falae and I were talking about how you Yoruba youth of nowadays have thrown away our omoluabi values.” “How so sir?” “We now have a rough idea of your total Dasuki haul. Laarin ara wa, between us, does it make sense to you that a small boy like you should have gotten more than your elders? We want to give you an opportunity to repair your omoluabi. Jonathan and Dasuki are not Yoruba. They can be excused for not understanding these omoluabi things. Once they gave you more yams than us, what was the proper Yoruba thing for you to do?” “I don’t know sir?” “You don’t know? Chief, you see now? The Yoruba youth of nowadays are ignorant of our culture. You ought to have brought your share to us, your elders, and we would have done redistribution based on age.” “Chief Bode George." “Yes” “Chief Bode George” “Yes, Femi”. “Chief Bode George” “Yes, Femi, mo nda e lohun. I am answering you now.” “Thank you Daddy. E ma binu sir o, how many times did I call you?” “Three times, Femi. You called me three times.” “Thank you, Daddy. I want to ask you sir, is Baba Obasanjo your elder sir? Is he older than you?” “What kind of stupid question is that? Chief Falae, can you hear this boy? Of course, Baba Obasanjo is my elder. He is older than me.” “Thank you sir. When you got away with N80 billion by splitting contracts at the Nigerian Ports Authority and Baba Obasanjo wanted his own share, did you take it to him for omoluabi redistribution based on age? When you do omoluabi to Baba Obasanjo from your old ports haul, I will do omoluabi to you from my Dasuki haul sir.” “Femi, omo ale ni e! You are a bastard!” “Wahala ti yin niyen sir. That is your own problem. I have to leave you now sir. I have to return to the war front to liberate my people from Nigeria.” (He rises up and leaves the two stunned Yoruba elders, chanting nzogbu nzogbu to his Range Rover.)

Sometimes, you can not but conclude that a lot of Nigerians have refused to be sensible.......lol

22 young years wasted. He learnt his lesson in a very harsh and unforgettable way.

That's an enlightened family for you.
I'll love to see the movie, though.

kennygee:
Thank you.

You are welcome.

Any Olamide and Donjazzy post just dey make FP.

So you finally removed that mask? You are beautiful anyway.

I like the position Iran currently occupies in world politics. She is a beacon of hope to other developing countries. Saudi Arabia will come to pay a high price for being intolerant; that, I'm sure of.

That apology was made over two months ago. I agree that it's not wrong to apologise sometimes. BIAFRA struggle continues, however.

Africans have Nwankwo Kanu, Akon, Generals who out-perform their peers in UN operations, brilliant academics around the world, etc. A Nigerian just hit 5.0 in a Russian university.


And please pocket that false humility of 'ok sir'. Just don't distort facts, in order to pump your ego.

You can also marry the next male doctor, to prove how superior you are to us.

PROUDLY AFRICAN, and black.

Friend, don't get all riled up over nothing. You misconstrued the whole essence of my post. I assure you that I am as proud a black man as you, if not more. However, sometimes the truth have to be said as it is. In the future, the black man will eventually come out of his present state of ignorance. Then he will stop to subconsciously worship the white man and see himself as his equal. He will learn to search inwards for solutions to his problems than running overseas for help. He will start to elevate his own culture and be less distracted by foreign religions. That's the kind of evolution I anticipate. I commend all the Africans you mentioned doing us proud, it's a proof that our abilities have no limit. In summary, I share your ideas and we are on the same side. The truth, however, remains that we still have a long way to go.

cckris:
You have sincerely described yourself, and not Africans.

Ok sir. Thanks.

Typical predictable reaction above from clueless NL folks blind to their own history.

So tell us why not ONE black African country was even 1/10th developed after these magical white men had governed them uninterrupted for nearly 100 years up till the 1960s?

Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Kenya etc etc were ALL underdeveloped hell holes at independence, with virtually NO universities, NO power plants, NO industries, NO major hospitals, NO dual carriageways, near 90% illiteracy (compared to 30% today), and widespread malnutrition. Despite the white rulers exporting resources worth billions of dollars, annually.

The mistake people make is that they think that a person's mere possession of white skin, IMPLIES that he will work well, and do well in government. They forget that all are governed by interests. If it is not in a person or group's perceived INTERESTS to have you develop, then they will make sure you don't develop, whatever their skin colour.

Why would a white colonial regime strive to turn you into a developed nation, and compete with its own country?

Fact is we have made far more progress as independent nations than we ever did under colonial rule. It's not even debatable.

Ask yourself why your grand, or great-grandparents were stark illiterate peasants instead of bankers and doctors. It wasn't because the colonialists couldn't afford to educate them. It was because they refused to do so, and banked the export proceeds overseas. Which of course, was the reason they colonised you in the first place - to bank your resources overseas.

Thank your stars for black rule which - imperfect as it was - saw you differently.

You are so on point this time.

Why will anyone believe that article?
I don't believe he said all that.

Very true.
Inferiority complex, fueled by skin color, will make many Africans into his willing slaves.
Secondly, Africans are still largely far behind in terms of ideological advancement. A largely illiterate population makes a largely religious population, hence the ease with which the white priest will swindle them.

I beg to differ on your submission about River Ogun. It was not named after the Ogun the god of iron. They are both pronounced differently, though same spelling. You may dig up more on that. Good try, though. Well done.

He was clad in agbada and all. Doesn't look relaxed...... Obviously done for the camera.

If you are not FAYOSE, you can't be FAYOSE.

You can get almost any music on tubidy.mobi . I once had over 100 music and 120 videos on my phone and I got all from tubidy.

Thanks.

Maybe you should try Lee Ann Womack, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw...and I like this track "Honey Bee" from Blake Shelton

Thanks

Merry Xmas everyone,I quickly logged in to have a few laughs at the idiocy that has become the religious section of nairaland thanks to some believers and non-believers..
unphillaz, a simple question for you... was/is there such a thing as "purely nothing" anywhere or at any point in time?... or has anyone ever claimed that the universe emerged from purely nothing?

Note : Physicists like Lawrence Krauss, and Stephen hawking use the term "nothing" for low levels of radiation, a vacuum and quantum fluctuations as these are the lowest forms of anything the material universe can be reduced to(hence the term)

You impress me, bro. Can I PM you?
