That dog lover should rest. Chicken wey she dey chop na another man's pet. Cow wey she dey chop na another person's god.
Ask Indians if cows are edible.


So this mumu post finally enter fp.
Mods of this site mo get taste.
I also noticed they love animals, bush meat or snakes. Smh!

Baba you no need to go far. Even Buhari showed us he values cows more than human lives

Nazgul:
N300 is too much biko. With dangote refinery fully operational, I'm expecting it to be way cheaper than that.

For where?? The only advantage of Dangote refinery I can think of is that it might try in eliminating scarcity. That's all not price. Where did you even hear that Dangote refinery can reduce price?

Yourprick:
Well he has his money already, dont think he'll be after ours, so what's stopping him?

This is a very naive mindset. I'm guessing you are not more than 30years of age. It is this type of mindset that made the people of Edo State accepted Lucky Igbinedion as governor in 1999. You can google the effect of his administration. The man turned out to be a thief. He laundered Edo State money through his father's companies and various family businesses. He was even found guilty by a competent court of law and he opted for plea bargain.

That a man is already rich does not guarantee that he will not steal when he gets to power.

1Sharon:
Wow. It feels weird seeing edo Muslims.

Lol. Many people that come online to say rubbish don't know anything about Edo. The Auchi is a complete Muslim community

1Sharon:
What part of edo is Suleiman from?

Edo North (Auchi) the same place where Aisha Yesufu and Murtala Mohammed comes from

rolams:
Your response is not correlating with my points.

Sokoto is a state here in Nigeria. I gave you 3 or four countries up there to prove how peaceful Islam is and should be.

Why is the US and Mexico scenario irrelevant? You see, the level of bias and hatred I mentioned up there is reflecting in your comment.

Oga please shut up if you don't have something better. Are you not aware that the number of atheist is very high in developed countries like USA and Mexico. The shootings in US that you mention, can you pin point it to any religion? For all we know, sometimes these shootings are even carried out by Muslims. Google is your friend, check it out . Some shootings in US is carried out by Muslims. The Sokoto you mentioned, was that not the state Deborah was massacred recently?

Holy saviour! And We want to know why the sector collapsed...

EmekaStanley:
I hired a lady last week Monday and fired her on Friday same week. I concluded she was not ready yet.

This lady came almost 2 hours late for interview without communicating her reason. If she was going to be late, she should inform the interviewer. Red flag.

I ignored that and decided to proceed with the interview. I decided not to conclude on her based on the interview outcome. I love giving people chances.

I offered her the job, she was excited. She was sent an offer letter which she accepted. On resumption date, this lady came late for work. First day at work. I was like 'Is this 24 year old lady innocently naïve or what?".

On Friday last week, this lady came to work by 10.55am. He work time is 8.00am, and she is an office admin. I was on my seat and sighted her walking in, I had to call her and told her to go back home, and that was it.

By the way, she lives like 15 minutes away from the office, and her route is always against traffic.

I wouldn't know when she resumed from Tuesday to Thursday because I came quite late on those days due to field engagements. When I resumed, I met her sleeping twice. After that, she abandoned her work and stepped out to answer a phone call for almost 1 hour.

My experience with this lady made me understand that a lot of people looking for work are not ready for/to work.

ES

My experience with hiring people have thought me that most ladies behave this way. It is difficult to find guys acting in such manner. I had to come to the conclusion that this could be the reason most ladies run away from mathematics as they are not serious or disciplined to learn it. Mathematics is not hard, it only requires constant practice to get used to the particular topic. This is where discipline is required. As a rule I hate employing ladies or girls except I have no choice.

baralatie:
You noticed that all the nafdac is after is about how to collect fees for quarantine

You see my brother, I was into exportation of food products to European countries before I left the business. Currently most European countries export food products from Asian countries and this trend will not stop soon. What I think we should be looking at is to dominate the African countries. Anyway that is a topic for another day...

When food products are rejected, it is usually because the foods are damaged before it gets to the final destination. Even if they show you the condition the goods are when they arrive at the destination, you will never consume it. It is truly usually bad. That particular problem was what Peter Obi used in campaigning...

After our goods gets into the container, it takes too long to leave the port. As a result of different bodies that will need to clear, sort and all that rubbish. Your goods end up damaged when it arrives and you loose out

mariovito:
I wish they stated the reason(s) for the rejection.

Anytime the foods are rejected they always state the reasons. But for whatever reason, this report decides to leave that part out in order to drive another useless narrative. As you can see many people are being fooled as usual especially those commenting on the first page of this thread

The policeman in question is in coma. How about that? The man received the slap, followed Seun to his mansion, took the ₦12,000 and he got home and went into coma. Did Reno put this into consideration when saying this trash he wrote there?

Dearlove2me:
Is like I'm in a sound prof house shouting on top of my voice and no one is hearing me. It seems they don't even understand what I'm going through.

I explained everything to my family and everyone including my mother, and they keep advicing me to stand on my feet and fight for my home, so long as they's no violence. That I shouldn't divorce my husband.
We always have heated argument, raising voice at each other.

My mother inlaw on the other hand, was crying on the phone. Telling me not to mention that name (divorce) ever again.
All the family members are not in support of divorce, but the main person I'm married to seems not to care at all.


He obviously refused to stop gambling away with any money that comes to his hand.
He presently have no job and he's owning a lot.

He's addicted and he's not making effort to stop. This is the root problem in my home. Because he exhibit all the wrong behavior as a result of this addiction.
Once he have any little money, his attitude, everything changed. He becomes scary. Until he finishes everything in betting, I wouldn't be able to talk to him and he will listen.

What should I do? Where do I go that I wouldn't look like a disobedient person, dispite everyone's pleade?
I'm using all my time to cry, qurrel and grieve here. Can't find myself.
I am not financially stable to make a move without my family's support.

Madam the root cause of your problem is not gambling but that he doesn't have a job. A man that doesn't have a job doesn't think straight.

BRIMBRAM:
That's cowardice. I will like you to read articles, and books written by Noam Chomsky. The man spent most of his life projecting the United States for what it is.
A rogue state.

Further more, did you also slap the Police officer? My purpose of asking is to make you see is that if not, then by context of Seun's scenario. Your's is very different.

I did not slap the police. My case is different, but the point I was trying to raise is that if Seun had spoken in a calm manner, perhaps begged, the officer would have left him and settled easily just like the officer I encountered also resolved mine easily.

BRIMBRAM:
The bolded means they are fighting illegally in Ukraine and why so?

You loss? Of course it's illegal. Did you not read the leak and the things it revealed. Although we already knew some of these things. The US are on ground fighting. Why did you think they abandoned the Afghanistan war?

Lucky5000:
Am not encouraging Seun Kuti assaulting a Police Officer on Uniform

But which one is the police man is in COMA taking treatment
Do you know how many people police do slap on daily bases

Considering how brazen government officials lie these days, you should be grateful they didn't say the man is dead and investigation links Seun's slap to be the cause of death. By now the guy would be looking at life imprisonment.

BRIMBRAM:
If a poor man did what Seun did. That police man would not have remained calm I hope you all know.

It is no more than what the reality of life is.
It's really about privileges. Some have it more than others.

Let me broaden your perspective. Had it been it wasn't Russia that invaded Ukraine you think the U.S that claim to be world police will sit down and be watching from afar?

If you slap a rank and file in the police, you will have yourself to blame. Whatever you see, take it. However that officer was a senior officer and from my experience most senior officers are usually calm. When you see people praising police officers because of one favour they received, it is usually from the senior officers usually Asp above. I once mistakenly hit a police officer's vehicle and when I came down and he also came down. He was just saying what's all this, when I started begging the guy asking him to come to one side let's settle it. When the man saw how I was talking, he said I should go. Motor wey I hit scatter one of the front head light totally. I was shocked. People around were still asking the man if he said I should go. The man repeated that I should forget and go that I am a peaceful person.

Also don't believe the nonsense you are being told. The US soldiers are on ground in Ukraine fighting as we speak. The only reason they have not declared a full scale war is because this fight is not sanctioned by the Senate.

sisisioge:
Na wa o...this same issue is now becoming spiritual. You didnt say anyone eventually went up onto your ceiling to actually inspect what was going on there.

Better get your family out and get people into your ceiling to see what's going on. Also invest in perimeter cameras to atleast see how it comes and go. It is well with you and yours o.

My brother, the thing tire me o. I'm wondering why Nigerians act stupid. A snake is in your roof and you are running Helter skelter looking for various dibia to consult instead of entering the roof and kill the snake yourself. Lala would be happy to post the thread to front page if it was killed. This man is really funny. If I had watched this in my screen, I would have doubted a human being cannot be this stupid

Usenokpevbo:
Whatever your point was, the motive and the idea came out as wrong.Akoko Edo is not considered as part of Benin city or the entire Bini land of today albeit it is part of Edo state. Same with Asaba even though they were part of the empire.

Akoko Edo to Benin city is not by any standard close neither is Asaba. And besides these were your statements”This is why you see that in the current day Benin there seems to be so much dialect and their settlement is close to the Palace”

Anyone who will read this will certainly misinterpret it. What you opined by your statement is that in the current day Benin which is Edo south. There seem to be so much dialect. Asaba and Akoko Edo are not in current day Benin. Asaba and Akoko Edo is not by any standard close to the palace and they operate as different entities today even though they have subtle respect for the Bini Monarch

Anyone layman who will read that your statement will assume that there are several tribes in Benin whose settlements is a stone throw from the palace. Not knowing that you are talking about settlements that is not within the current Bini territory of today, some being in other states entirely while the Akoko Edo is In the far flung northern part of Edo state.

I don't think I have time for this back and forth statement. Before that my post you're referring to, there was a previous post which I clearly gave the original map of the Benin in the 18th century. So the second post you're referring to is a follow up of the previous. If you didn't see that you can't blame for it. Benin as it is known today was not the way it was in the 18th century. Both Akoko Edo and the others you mentioned were included in Benin in the 18th century. I've explained this previously. I can't be going back and forth. I believe I was clear on that from my very post. If comprehension is giving you problems refrain from quoting me

Usenokpevbo:
In Benin it is only one dialect that is spoken o

I re- read your statement and I thought of something. What you know as Benin today, is not what was known as Benin in the 18th century. The Benin I'm referring to there is the one of the 18th century thereabouts not the Benin of today. The Benin of today has one language.

And the areas I'm referring to as being close to the Palace are places like Igbanke, asaba, akoko Edo etc. These areas are considered close to the Palace when you consider the size of Benin in the 18th century

Usenokpevbo:
In Benin it is only one dialect that is spoken o

What I said, you are free to confirm from any high chief in Benin. It was even once said in a program aired in Benin " Ibota"

Vado2:
This thread is quite enlightening. Many intelligent people are starting to realize that the mythical Yoruba past is untrue. Because they already had western education they were able to dupe our ancestors with their treachery and lie, seeking to change a history they were never a part of. We are no longer susceptible to deception. I appreciate your input.

Kindly throw more light on this if you can.

The issue is the typing, copying and pasting. It's not easy especially when using the phone. And most people here will need a picture to know if you're saying the truth or not. To verify what my brothers here have said you need to visit the British library (Library of Congress) and also use the Portuguese maps. Look at their map as at when they landed and discovered these areas. You will not find Oyo in the map. It was not because it didn't exist but because it was a small settlement that was insignificant.
However to what I said earlier it is public knowledge that when the British was trying to amalgamate Nigeria and educate us, they insisted and encouraged the South Western people to use a common language which in their wisdom they felt it should be the Yoruba dialect since it was spoken by the majority of people. It was the same strategy they used for the north and east. This was the beginning of Yoruba per se. I will leave that part for another day as there is already a thread here on NL that covers this history holistically. Prior to the British coming here, there was nothing like Yoruba. What existed was just tribes. Various tribes were at war with each other and when your tribe is defeated some of your population will be captured as slaves. Some of these slaves were later sold to the whites. The Benin spoke a lot of dialect but the current language been spoken today and called Benin was actually spoken in the Palace and used as a coded language sort of. Those that spoke the language we refer to as the Yoruba dialect of today were also regarded as Benin and had the same full privilege as a Benin man. In most cases, they were given positions even in the Palace. This is why you see that in the current day Benin there seems to be so much dialect and their settlement is close to the Palace. There was nothing like discrimination based on language, those stuffs started with the British. The Benin understood nationhood, they knew that we could not all speak the same language and be brothers. Everyone was living together and peacefully before that invasion... Will continue later

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyo_Empire

What? Do you think everyone on this site is a two years old kid? What is that? 18th century map is all over the internet. If you are used to looking at ancient maps, you will instantly know that what you posted is rubbish.

Attached below are 18th century maps.

I thought the family said the news was a lie. That the news was fake news. So what is all this?

Trizyd:
😁🤣🤣🤣🙄 Eye witness written documents how can we go back now and ask someone from Oyo Empire and Benin Empire to bring their written documents. Or show me, in your words the "eyewitness written documents"

I initially did not want to comment on this thread as I've seen a lot ridiculous to even stupid fact that anyone with a basic level of IQ will detect the fallacy. However I just want to let you know it's not impossible to find eyewitness documents or account. I personally met someone (although already late) who witness the battle that overthrew Ovoranmen from Benin Kingdom. If you can get the guardian newspaper of January 1, 2000 you will see the interview of a man who lived to see 3 century. I personally know the man in question as he's related to me. Most of the information we got from them are verifyable. Why I'm I saying this? It is possible to get eye witness documents. If you can't get hold of eye witness documents in Oyo then something is wrong with the history. Also another fallacy I see here is that there was nothing like the Yoruba history. What we had was various tribes. It was the British that first brought the idea of Yoruba per se. So when I see Yoruba history here and there, I just laugh.

Iseoluwani:
We were never neutral tho

We used to be truly neutral. During the era of Shagari, Buhari and IBB. After that time I can't say for sure.

Iseoluwani:
Souti sef vex

Nigeria nko.


Ah sorry, we don borrow another $800million. We no fit talk

The UK has a military base in Nigeria so we no fit talk for this kind thing as we are no longer neutral like before

taylor89:
If you investigate deeply you’ll realize Dangote is one major big problem we have in Nigerian government


I know you can’t relate but behind the scenes Dangote won’t be this rich if Nigerian government was working fine


These people are benefactors of bad governance


But 30k monthly warriors will come to defend him

Anyone that wants to defend him is free to. I believe this issue has been overfflogged here on NL. Dangote is a thief, pure and simple. Yaradua found out lots of shady dealings Dangote was involved in and he really dealt with him. If Yaradua had not died, Dangote would not be popular today.

sonature1:
If we truly want to have a working country, the judiciary has to be totally independent of the executive.

Also, there must be a body that ensures the executive and its agencies comply with court judgements. If not, we will keep going round in circles.

Your idea is good except you missed it at the second paragraph. We don't need any other body created. The current security agencies can handle it. Where the problem occurs is that the security agencies seem to be the walking stick of the executive. This ought not to be, rather they should be answerable to Nigeria (the country not individual). So why is this not so? The answer is simple. The mode in which the heads of agencies are appointed to power. The problem has always been caused by the useless legislative houses we have in Nigeria. Correct this and you have a working country. Do you know that in some countries, their legislatures have the power to stop their soldiers from going to war with another country. Can you say that for ours?

Kholiwe:
You are typing like a deranged fool. In what way is child molestation and two consenting adults loving each other the same thing.

I'm not surprised that you couldn't link it together due to your mental disorder. A man loving a child is acting abnormally and it is a confirmed mental disorder even in psychiatry. A man loving a man is also abnormal and is a mental disorder as both are acting against natural and biological laws. You better visit the psychiatrist for proper evaluation.

Kholiwe:
They are more sane than you and will live a better life than you as well.

Look you can deceive yourself all you like but they have some mental challenges and they should have visited the psychiatrist for proper evaluation. When a grown up man start have sexual feeling for two years old child then we can say he is mentally challenged, same way a man that starts having sexual feelings for animal is also sick in the head. Gays are not exception. It is a mental disorder that the west is preventing from world because of certain reasons I wouldn't want to start here. Know this and know peace

Lol all this SME talk talk up nd down after all the speech dem no go fit give dem a Startup Loan....


Na Speech we go chop...

I have more than enough invite of these SME talk. From GTCO, Polaris and Zenith (there's one I'm missing now I can't remember). If you need any free invite let me know. As usual, there is no loan anywhere.

JoeEeL:
Oh, is that an Edo man complaining. Wow, wow pls let me laff small, ma binu.

I can remember when I used to shout and voice out the danger of one nigeria and why nigeria remaining one spells certain invasion by these terrorists. I remember some edo little boys on this nairaland mocking me. That was as far back as 2020, 2021. They told me all manner of things that edo is different, that they could try the sh*t in other places but edo.

In 2021, MN Kanu was kidnapped from Kenya. I remember a lot of you laughed. Igboho's house was attacked. Maybe because Igboho is not as loud as Kanu, his own mockery was reduced but he was still mocked.

Some of you here yabbed IPOB, ESN. Called them terrorists... People defending their own lands.

Now is the time of reckoning. At this stage, nobody pities anybody. You must have heard the phrase: "Gbogbo wa lo ma je breakfast".

P.S: That some of you still call them herdsmen only shows you don't yet know what is up against you. In Darfur, they used camels. In Sokoto, they used horses. Today, they used cattle. These are mechanisms, only the wise will understand, not a typical zoogerian.

What have you written? If Edo boys mocked you in 2020 it's because you presented yourself to be mocked. Just like what you wrote here. It's total nonsense that I don't even know what message you're trying to pass. Herdsmen issues have been in Edo as far back as 2016/2017. So as at 2020 anyone who was in Edo knows there were herdsmen in Edo and the indigenes were tackling it as best as they could. As far back as 2019, Edo State government purchased arms for most communities ravaged by herdsmen. It is normal for you to see most community guys moving about with pump action. Although we know this is not enough but it helped since the indigenes claimed they know the environment better than any herdsmen. What were you expecting? That an Edo man will start supporting ESN? Was that authorised by the government? If you want to go on with illegality, you are free but don't force people to join that cause. There's no way any Edo man can support Nnamdi Kanu as he had insulted the Edos in several of his speeches. The same with his followers. Keep your struggle in SE for now.
