How can a people be so soulless,be so devilsh and be so evil and yet they complain the most? Remember, Emir of Kontagoras son holds no public office, even if he was, you hardly see people from other sections of the country act this soulless. What's wrong with you people?!
Unfortunately,we have many of them here on nairaland.
I hope you get your Biafra soon ,so you can all end up cannibalising on your soulless selves

Latvin: The writer may or may not be a paid agent but makes salient points. People who argue against right sizing are not putting alternatives on the table. The crux of the matter is the wrong approach taken by El Rufai.
First of all, he should have built a sound case for right sizing, presenting relevant data like paying 50,000-100,000 workers (2-5% of Kaduna State population) gulps 80% of revenue to the detriment of other sectors and needs of remaining 95%. He should also have presented other cost centers apart from staff salaries, including number of govt political appointees, wasteful spending in security votes, bloated estacodes, maintaining services that add no value etc.Then he would have proceeded to rallying everyone around the vision of what he aims to do, how much savings will be made, how he will use it to better the lives of citizens etc. In that discussion, the unions will be a natural front line stakeholder.
After that, he will design a transparent process and start first from pruning political appointees and cutting govt wasteful spending by say 50% for example. After demonstrating good faith elsewhere, only then can he come to workers, working with the union to agree on process of choosing those to be impacted and how much they will be paid off. Then an implementation timeline is agreed.
This is how it should have been done with citizens massively supporting a rather painful set of steps. This is how most private sector organisations do it. You will not find a serious organisation that doesn't right size from time to time, why do we expect something different with the public sector? Until we start approaching issues in this country with a business mindset, we will keep scratching the surface of our mess. If we in this generation can genuinely sacrifice to make future generations better, then we would have done a good thing but many are more interested in themselves and the now. Fantastic points. This is what I have been clamouring for. Most comneneters here are just throwing words and insults around without fleshing their points. It's about putting figures to it and those affected not the free-for-all most folks here like doing. |

galantjoe: The fact is that Elrufai is popular oppressors of masses. From time immemorial, he always championed unpopular agenda ruthlessly. The labour union shouldn't have fought him because he is ruthless and has no regards to human right. He always won such fights. The labour union should have deployed more of negotiations than applying industrial actions. History and posterity will always remember as an oppressor of lower class.
Let's see how this will end. Do you even know what oppressor is? Do you?!. I do not in totality support El Rufai's current decision,but I think he should have negotiated more. But there's nothing logically and economically wrong with his decision. |

If it was just a regular guy that slapped the lady I wouldn't even give a fvck cos she definitely deserve it. Oga,stop this professional hodgepodge. She deserved it.

Are you now saying because he has been helping people he should now take laws into his own hands and start misbehaving?
The man should know quite well that as a journalist there are lines you must not cross
How is this man now different from the Nigeria police that is known for brutalising suspects.
It's not today that the guy has clearly been breaching the NBC broadcasting code. The other day he was telling somebody to shut up on air 
Some few years back he demarketed arik air by saying people should not patronise them that they can crash at any time that Nigerians should fly air peace
We all know he's making a meaningful impact in the lives of Nigerians and that was how he was able to get the grants he used in setting up the radio station from MacArthur Foundation. but that doesn't mean he should now allow it to enter his head and begin to slap everybody. Save your sanctimonious admonitions for the deaf You people want to always handle people with criminal intents and assaults with kid gloves. The BBC whatever they are way worst. I don't support high handedness ,but that lady deserved every slap she got. What is even slap compared to the almost irreparable damage she caused that little girl. I want you to compare them. |

Now they have those that can match them you're here complaining. Who are the jihadist? And where did it enmmanate from? Or why are they seeking global caliphate?

Romance › Re: Upcoming Wedding Palava by Friend22(m): 6:27pm On May 18, 2021 |
Wittyduchess: Having everything done in the village is actually not a bad idea. Traditional wedding is the most important ceremony every other thing is just paparazzi.
You should know by now that you should have broke the news to her like it was your suggestion and not your mother's. She feels your mother is dictating how her wedding will turn out. Wisdom bro , wisdom. It's a major change of plans and you telling her that your mother is responsible for the major change will definitely upset her ,even me ,make I nor lie ,I go vex say you nor first discuss am with me after all na me and you get wedding not you and your mama.
Anyway, I hope the village you are talking about is her village ,if yes, then I see nothing wrong,you both can do traditional wedding and registry there and come back for Thanksgiving in your church ,but that's just me.
If she insists ,tell her to be ready to fund half of the financial burden of the white wedding since she is not ready to compromise.
Tell her I said she should put her money where her mouth is. 
But next time,use wisdom,must you tell her your mum suggested it? Now you don cause unnecessary storm.My people say " if ear nor hear matter,belle nor dey spoil". Abeggi joor. What's wrong in his mum suggesting what will be beneficial for both of them?! What's wrong? Is she simply pained that the idea came from his mum or she just being unnecessarily insular. I personally dislike ladies who think everything that involves them has to go through them. Generally speaking, was the idea bad?!. If she is a good daughter-in-law to be she should be happy her husband is opening up to her. Let's not make being sincere a bad thing. |
Romance › Re: Upcoming Wedding Palava by Friend22(m): 6:19pm On May 18, 2021 |
Annoms: I'll try to make this short.
Yesterday I was having a conversation with my fiancée about my mum's suggestion about how to go about our wedding which is scheduled to take place Jan next year. My mum suggested that we do both trad and white wedding on the same day to cut cost. She opined that we do the white wedding in the morning and hold the traditional marriage as a reception in the afternoon. I pretty much see reasons from her perspective considering the harsh economic condition in Nigeria.
I was relating this to my fiancée yesterday in a phone call, when she flared up and said I should have consulted her to seek her opinion on this marriage arrangement before going to my family to seek theirs because I said my mum's advise seems okay.
What I deduce from her plight was that she wants the trad marriage at the village (south-east) while the white at the town where we base (South-West). That was what I initially wanted but due to high inflation in the land, I'm actually tilting towards my mum advise because I can't go bankruptcy just because I want to satisfy her. Why not use a stone to kill two birds?
She wants a cream-de-la-cream kind of wedding but she's not ready to assist financially to make that happen. (she's an awaiting corper)
I told her that the cost of transportation and lodging people from the village (hers and mine) to the city for our white marriage alone is gulping about 500/600k. That's transportation & lodging alone ooo.. I'll now spend if not x2 of what I spent on trad for white.. Why not just do everything in the village and move on with our lives? We can actually have it in the village and it will still be all nice and glamourous.
She said she wants to have a say in how her marriage will look like. Her imput is welcomed. But if she still insist on having the white wedding and not putting finances into consideration. I'm thinking that she want the white wedding on the city because of her friends who will attend which is not enough reason to go bankruptcy for.
It was a heated argument yesterday. We both went to bed angrily and not in talking terms till now
Pls advice accordingly. Thanks @Annoms, if you ask for my candid opinion eh,in all honesty you don't have wife yet, you are probably getting married to one moon-shy instagram mama. If your mother that suckled you and understands that times are hard and you wife to be is sounding like CBN governor. Bros, you don enter express. Ask her if the marriage is more important to her than the wedding, if she says no,the wedding is important, bros kindly look for another lady. A lady almost boxed me into such corner and I thought it was love, we actually parted ways afterwards and I keep thanking God I did. See, my guy,love is not what makes marriage thick. In fact,love is a delusion to me. Methink understanding and patience is what makes marriage what it is. Look at your mum and see if you wife possess are kind of understanding. My two kobo. |
Nairaland General › Fear Women by Friend22(op): 5:00pm On May 18, 2021 |
If you are a successful (financially and publicly) man or plan on becoming one please watch how you relate with women. They will bait you just so that they can open their mouth to damage you later in life.
The new one is that Bill Gate had a relationship with a former staffer. The relationship, which I condemn as a Muslim, was however consensual and has since ended. Nothing happened oh, woman just woke up one morning and wrote Microsoft's Board telling them about the relationship. Not done she made it a condition that his wife must be given the letter to read.
To cover up their wickedness they will pretend to be concerned for the wife. "I just want her to know the truth" yet you didn't care about her while you were sleeping with her husband. If that one is not doable they will say they felt advantage was taken of them. Adults oh, sometimes in their 30s. The main aim is to pull the man down since they cannot be part of his success forever as the ONLY one.
I pray I never fall into any inappropriate behaviour with women but God will punish the lady that will come and try to destroy what I have suffered for because me and her did nonsense. My reply will be brutal.
Some will go to places of worship and seduce the spiritual leader. Then they will start claiming victim ONLY BECAUSE he did not kick out the woman in his life and bring them in. Whereas the evil they did together was consensual. Then people who use to fornicate and commit adultery will be acting surprised that "such a person can do such a thing" what of you that do it everytime?
Look, I continue to pray I don't fall into anything but if I do I won't apologise to any public idiot. You can't put men under constant pressure, invite them to fall for temptation and when they do you use small voice to say "I am surprised". Surprise kill you there.
Whoever commits a private sin owes God Almighty and his spouse and family explanation, not strange and hypocritical random human beings.

Did you know Hamas had launched over 3000 missiles into Israel but the IDF and the IRON DOME kept repelling those missile but when Israel launches not even up to 2000 missiles into Hamas you Muslims barbarian are shouting they are killing children why did they look for war when they are not ready to combat. YOU LAUNCHED ME I LAUNCHED YOU, AND I SABI PROTECT MY PEOPLE WITH IRON DOME. Assuming the iron DOME is not there both parties will be counting their loses, but Palestine ain't have iron DOME so Israel kept bombarding them. All nothing but empty emotional exhibition of awareness. You ignorance is so loud that even a WiFi system sound like a whisper. Israel is the terrorist nation occupying people's land unlawfully and they are the one's who attacked Muslim worshippers in the al-aqsa mosque during ramadaan and when Muslims retaliate the media who actually narrates a one-sided story makes it sound as if Muslims started it..
