Goan Ask your Mother or Parents Questions.😕😏

Any child that passes through Normal Educational process
WITHOUT DOUBLE PROMOTION OR SKIPPING CLASS will get to Secondary school @11years old.

You are very correct. I can confirm what you said. I myself was born in the mid eighties and without double promotion I entered secondary school at 11.

sketcherJ:
Hmmn am I the only one not getting it? He can’t start his primary school at the age of 4? Or maybe it was rare in the 80s?

The tale of you can’t start school unless your hand can touch the other hair or something? Lol

I don't know why people are surprised. I can't see any lie in what he's staying. It is possible he started school at 4. I was also born in 1986 and I started school at 5. There is a possibility to what he is claiming.

nairalanda1:


I was with you until you mentioned Gani Fawehimni.

Gani...who I respect, and who I think was a great Nigerian, ...lost the 2003 election because he was a newspaper candidate. Someone that did not even go round the country...even people like late Dim Ojukwu were all over the country, and was only known on newspapers, and his party has no branch at all in any part of the country....cannot even have a chance of winning any election.

Big parties win because they are all over the place and people know who they are and also know someone who is a member. Yes, rigging, but most places, voting does happen, and people vote for PDP and now APC.

I know who I'm talking with when I hear things like "voting does happen and people vote for PDP". Like seriously... Even if someone like Gani wanted to loose, would it be with those figures he was given? If you were still a kid within 1999 say so. It doesn't take much people to win an election during the 1999 era. Every notable politician knows this. In Edo State, I was aware of the period when only 5 people won the election. During that era politicians don't give a shiit about the voters because they don't need it. What they need is connection. If you are well connected then you get all. To say people were voting for PDP is nonsense. There was a reason for the high voter apathy during that era. During that era, it is difficult to see a well known politician in the queue voting on election day. They are busy strategizing, controlling the movement of thugs from one location to another. Infact some of them will be sleeping at home while Election is ongoing only for them to be declared winner.
If it was a free and fair election Gani will not loose in that manner, even if he wanted to loose.
What is happening today is totally different from what happened in that era. Then I voted in three different states so I know what I'm talking about. I voted in Lagos (Okota), Edo (upper Sokponba) and Delta (Abraka).
You guys should desist from this gaslighting, not all of us are stupid.

copyrites:



Deltans elected a petty thief Nigerians no just get sense. Always electing the worst of the worst criminals and drug addicts. Later you people will complain about visa denials.

Please respect the people of Delta. All over Nigeria, there was nothing like election during the 1999 era. It was just election ballot box snatching and all. In Edo State, I can tell you for a fact that it took 5 persons to win an election. None of them was voted for. That was why someone like the late SAN Ganifawemi lost his election and he couldn't recover the mandate through the court even though we know he was a good lawyer. To start saying Deltans voted for Ibori is a fallacy of the highest order. That been said, compared to other governors in Nigeria, Ibori tried for his people as a governor.

Stop giving Satan praises

The only reason people believe in God is because they believe Satan exist. The religious people are more conscious of the Devil than the "Devil himself".

Dimaya:
I am writing this post in response to my initial post that made front page yesterday in which a lady said she won't get pregnant until her husband starts earning over 200K

See here:
https://www.nairaland.com/7729988/girl-wont-get-pregnant-husband/

People's reactions got me thinking heavily because nobody addressed the obvious elephant in the room:

unreasonable civil service salaries



In the original post's video, it was established that Nigerian civil servants starting out with a degree ( level 8 ) earn an average of 75K monthly.

And it takes as much as 15-20 years before they can earn close to 200K monthly.

With the current high cost of living (particularly food, transportation and housing), it seems the government doesn't expect civil servants to be able to support their families on their salaries.

This begs the question: does the Nigerian government pay enough for civil servants to get married?

And also, if you're a married civil servant earning less than 100K, how on earth are you able to meet your obligations today?

How?




the video referenced in the previous post:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t66DkQl0j50

I seriously doubt you stay or reside in Nigeria. If you do then you've been cut off from reality for one reason or the other.

The civil servants you're worried about are actually the middle class in the society in case you've forgotten. If you're bothered about the middle class then what do you have to say about the low class. The poor. I guess we will leave that for another day.

In case you've forgotten, there are graduates who are security men as we speak, some are private school teachers, some are running after moving vehicles just to make daily sales. I'm talking about degree holders. Some even have masters. Let's just leave these matters for another day

Please the mods should shut down this thread. His is that an attack. I saw that tweet before this thread and it was very valid. Except we decide not to be truthful to ourselves, women are descriminated against in the two dominant religion we have. Most especially the Muslim. This nonsense thread you opened here, can you open it on the Muslim section without swearing a cult like oath

ganisucks:

Give it some hours, and you'll get an announcement from the Palace disowning this publication. From the writeup, the news clearly looks like a fake story.

Exactly. Anyone that understands the palace knows they can never authorise this type of speech. Even though it's not rebutted, I know it's fake. The palace don't make such careless statement

Les:
The Lion has pride but it's not really the strongest compared to other strong animals.

I don't know the possibility of the anaconda constricting the bear 🐻 and the gorilla but it might not work because those two beasts are super strong. If the grizzly bear grabs the anaconda by the head with its strong jaws and sharp claws, it's gone for real.

The real fight there is between the grizzly bear and the silverback gorilla, I don't know who will win but I go for Kingkong. That beast is strong!

Do a quick goggle and verify how easy it is for a leopard to kill a gorilla. If it's so easy for a leopard to kill a gorilla, then it's super easy for a jaguar to kill it not to talk of a lion. There is no competition here, the bear comes out alive. The only chance the lion will have is if it came with its pride else if it is a one on one fight the bear will kill it easily. The bear can stand easily with its hind legs like a human plus it's slap is deadly. The last thing the lion will see is the bears huge slap landing it's face

myloRrd:
people keep saying obi will win in court,caan a court autually remove tinubu is this even possible,do people know the type of power a president has?, what if the court gives order and he doesn't obey, we saw the case of buhari disobeying court orders, so i'm asking is it even possible?

Do you even know what you are saying? It is the constitution that gives you the power to act as president. If the same constitution removes that power, then you go. Let's say for saying sake, the court asks Tinubu to leave and he refuse. Do you think the military will be wrong to shoot Tinubu and assume power indefinitely?

NaMe4:




You see the problem with distortion of facts?
The OP disingenuously included areas that had no business with all these and was ignored, now this.

Are you talking about a united Southern Nigeria or an Eastern Nigeria?

These areas you mention are parts of Western Nigeria.

Whoever wrote that article ranted about South South not being a geographical entity and was carved out of SouthEast (which is false). But refused to acknowledge the flaw that Nigeria was divided into 3 protectorates by the colonialists. With his knowledge of geography, why didn't he question the absence of a Southern Protectorate?

The point is so far this issue is approached with insincerity, there will be no headway, even in a million years.

The people you call South-South today are distinct people with their own cultures, heritage and ancestry who have been indigenous to their homes for millenniums. Their very hospitable nature and culture has turned out to be their bane.
Today they are being asked by certain people
'what's the meaning of your name?'

I thought I was the only one that noticed the flaw in the write up. The OP knows nothing about the South - South.

Blackazuma99:
Good day to everyone in this forum, please I am in desperate need of your advice.

Early 2014 she lost her dad, 2016 she lost her only brother (my uncle) and then the worst happened in 2021,i lost my father which is her husband, and since then God has been faithful, I graduated same year, my elder sister got a good job same year, we got our first family house same with other benefits.

But the problem has been my mum, she's always depressed and always thinking, thinking of my late dad, we have tried our best as the children to make her happy, especially me the first son. Please i need advice on what to do, I really don't want my mother to die of depression 😞.

Quickly take her to the general Hospital or a Psychiatrist or neurologist. Whichever you have access to will advice you on what to do. I had a neighbour who suffered serious depression with the cause of depression similar to what you wrote here. It started gradually until it resulted in serious mental disorder where the woman will just be talking while moving along the road. Later it degenerated to her urinating on herself while walking along the road. I really felt pity on her before she finally died. Please help your mum now that you can. If it is depression, it can be cured. There is a medicine for depression because I myself have suffered from it and I took drugs that could lift my spirit. The drug is yellowish and small but I don't know the name because there was no name on it. Those type given by the pharmacist in the hospital. Before then I didn't know there was any medicine that was capable of lifting one's mind from a depressed state to normal state.

Ukrainian are good people. We seriously need their wheat. I hope you are coming to Nigeria.

Nigeria also need to learn their military doggedness.
Buhari and his Army are still fighting Boko boys and still no victory in sight. What a shame.

American armies are also in Nigeria, the UK have a military base here too. What are they doing? They claim they are assisting in fighting Boko haram yet no victory in sight. They couldn't even rescue the Chibok girls

chris51:




My dear, please do not look for the girl at all. If there had been any issue about the pregnancy, the parents could not have let go.
I have a feeling they must have later found out the truth.
Please let the sleeping dog lie and move on with your life.

I initially wanted to say you are very stupid for saying this. But after seeing you are a female, I understood why you said that. That guy had suffered from a serious emotional trauma and you are saying he should let sleeping dogs lie. What is sleeping here? If it was a girl that suffered such amount of emotional trauma when she was a kid, would you advise the girl to let sleeping dogs lie? Why is it that most of you female find it difficult to have even the least Compassion on someone when he is a male? That guy had suffered a serious emotional trauma and the least he needs is to clear his name. He should confront the girl's father. There is no where in the write up where the OP mentioned anything about a child being involved. Why are people talking of DNA?

Humble432:




Baba ur funny ooooo.
The main reason why I go like confront her is just to know why she mentioned my name and also meet the father in case if he said bad things for my head.

Later one my guy for street told me he used to see the girl always enter one barbing saloon in the night and come out late. But the case has died down already and I didn't want any issue then. But now as a man, I go ask the girl about the barber shop she used to enter late hours back then, if she go respond.

Do not do that. That's none of your business now. Your business is to meet the father and clear your name. Meeting the girl and asking her of such can go either way especially as you don't know who she later turned out to be. Meet the Dad and the man will explain things to you. If she later finds the need to apologize, fine. If not, let her be.

Humble432:



Thanks but don't you think it will open old wound especially for the father? Though I am concerned if the man said or laid and curse back then.

Go back and clear your name. Forget whatever issues that will arise. The girl and her parents can deal with that. Tell them you want to clear your name. . Make sure it's the girl's father you see not the girl. The girl per se knows the truth and the reason for lying. It might also be that the girl might have confessed the truth and her family knows why she lied but let the father know the issue affected you psychologically hence the need to clear your name.

Nothing like end of subsidy. What just happened is fuel increment. Reality will soon dawn on you

This bag has been in Lagos market since 2021 that I know about it o. Then it used to be 7,500 (the first I bought) but can't tell how much it's sold now.
Important notice, bag doesn't last. The material is so soft and could tear at any time. I used mine for about two months. You would think someone tore it with blade after the few weeks.

Is this what I should buy for ₦7,500? Something that can tear after two weeks?
In this Bulaba era.

It's time for Esan to rule. Any other person is counterfeit. The people called you indeed. No be the Benin wey I dey so?

Steep:
They can ban, but the word of God will prevail, not even the Roman empire could stop Christianity, check history Christianity grows more under persecution and hostility.
Lol
China that ban the bible and made preaching the gospel a criminal offense is having her citizens converting to Christianity in droves.

Are you sure you quoted the right person? What has my comment got to do with banning Christianity? That kids are prevented from the holy books has nothing to do with banning Christianity but a lot to do with corrupting their minds because of the violence, gore and some sexually explicit stuff that developmental psychologist researched are not good for kids. When they grow to a suitable age, you can allow them access. Except you want people to filter or change the words in the holy books because of kids which the Bible itself is against .

Talking of Roman Empire, I'm not aware there was any serious effort in stopping religion anytime in history. If you are talking of the followers of Jesus, I will agree but even then, I hope you know that the Bible predates Jesus Christ and his teaching and even if there was any effort to stop the followers of Jesus from spreading the word by the Romans and they succeeded, it still wouldn't have stop religion but just change some certain aspect we believe in the Bible as true. The so called holy scriptures was once the constitution in the Roman Empire which can be altered by politicians at will (this is a topic for another day)...

ppogba:


Eskis sir,
I insist, not this one.
If you know what religion means to us here, you will agree with me that civilization that will tamper with christianity in Nigeria or Islam in Northern Nigeria has not and can never be conceived.
Let the Americans do their own. Like I said, even if same will happen in Nigeria, 50 years from now is too close.

You can insist whatever you like, it doesn't erode the fact on the issue. About 150 years ago, your ancestors were not Christians or Muslims. Is that the case today? They probably also thought like you that no one could change their religion. About 30 years ago, it was seen as an abomination for a girl to wear short skimpy dress and walk freely in the streets. Infact she will be boed by passers by. Is that the case today? The Bible encourages us to spank a child when he/she goes wrong, but civilisation and the western world thinks otherwise, how is that faring where you are? Are teachers still allowed to flog today? Even though it's not expressly in our laws. If you settle down and look at it, Nigerians are not religious. Not even for one bit. We just serve God because of poverty. Take away poverty and you will see the true Nigerians.

ppogba:


If your prophecy comes to pass today, be rest assured that the same thing will not come to pass in Africa or Nigeria in the next 50 years.

What legislature will pass that law in Nigeria?

Wake up sir.

It's not a prophecy, it's where civilisation is taking us to. If you studied Education, Child developmental Psychology, you will understand what I'm trying to say there. Nigeria don't need to pass the law, once it is passed in developed climes, we will just copy it as usual.

It's gradually happening. I told someone something like this last year December. I said the contents of the holy books are not suitable for kids. I said civilisation will soon take us to a stage where kids are not allowed to read the holy books until they attain certain age. Are we not gradually moving towards there now?
