I said you are the iidiot, it's my choice, and none of your business to call it silly. You started the whole drama and I told you in Nigeria as a whole we combine foreign with local, you went gaga saying it's only "me". Ode! I bet you never knew all the Muslims bear foreign names too, so they are all silly as well? your obsession is with white, they colonized us blah blah. I wonder who told you people that choose to combine do so out of colonial mentality. I bet you are the one reminding me whites colonized us. I like a name and it's meaning, I give my child and also native as well, so why would you get drunk over that?. M.o.r.o.n I'm sure you never knew Ibrahim, Aisha etc are foreign too. Ode!

You are a moooron. Who said it was not your choice? Because it is your choice mean one cannot call it what it is?

When did saying speak for yourself and your family imply it is only "you"?

Anyone not having a sensible reason for giving their kids a foreign name in this day and era is silly.

You keep on ranting but cannot tell us why you choose to name your kids with white names, why you need to or why they need it.

All you are doing is trying to divert with your computer is called Apple, Muslims, don't use planes, your moniker is in Spanish, your dog is of Japanese breed.

Mugu!

You know I am right that all you have is a senseless reason? Slave brain.

excellentmomma:
This idiot doesn't know he should manufacture his own laptop and give it a native name. If we check very very well its your fake type that bleach their skin or go after women that do. Example a christian that picks a foreign name from the bible or Muslim from the Koran has suddenly become silly, so tell me how many Muslims don't have at least one foreign name? Did the Arabs colonise us too. You pretend to be smarter than everyone but the dullest. Idiot, ain't you the one with a complex?, if not why will you feel threatened by a white name. Go tell all the Muslims to stop giving Arabic names. M.o.r.o.n!

You are a complete iiidiot.

Is this your sensible explanation of why you choose to name your kids with white names, why you need to or why they need it?

excellentmomma:
M.o.r.o.n, why do you identify with anything foreign at all, do your own thing and be identified with it, you are too idiotic not to know that whatever you are called with becomes your name moniker or not. Why go foreign in some things and condemn others.
Ode! Calling another person's choice silly.

You are a complete iiidiot?

What is identifying with anything foreign?

Instead of dimwits like you to give a sensible argument of why you choose to name your kids with white names, why you need to or why they need it, you come up with moronic counters like "identifying with anything foreign", "your laptop is called apple, not agbalumo", "why do you choose to live in Victoria Island and not Kasamu Island" etc.

You come up with all kinds of nonsense to divert away from the fact that there is NO SENSIBLE reason for giving your kids white names apart from appeasing your colomentality and inferiority complex.

There is NO SENSIBLE reason for you to lighten your skin apart from addressing your colomentality and inferiority complex.

One of your cohorts already gave the stupid excuse that "it is because we live in a foreign land". Self-deceit excuses.

Mugu.

Come up with a sensible excuse why you want to give your children white names.

excellentmomma:
Before u stupidly condemn people that chose to give their children foreign names, make sure you are truly independent and free from anything foreign, get that into your dumb skull. Its their choice to combine names, not yours to bash them. Your moniker is even foreign, you are brainless.

Why are you telling me it is their choice?

You are too stupid to observe I never said it was not their choice, I am just saying it is a stupid choice, slow brain.

You are even more stupid to be stating that ideas and innovation are foreign.

Iiidoit, since when did my moniker sound like a name to you?

Mugu!

Why you dey bleach?

excellentmomma:
B4 you get proud, make sure you manufacture your own phones, cars and planes too, and be relatively independent. Don't wear foreign clothes too and be sure you eat with your bare hands, so make it complete.

What nonsense!

What has phones, cars and planes etc got to do with naming?

Are you saying ideas and innovation are owned as a monopoly by others?

Never again stupidly compare or justify 'copying people's identity' due to the mentality of low self-worth with 'use of innovative progress' due to making your life easier.

blesoh:
"colomentality"d new word u ve learnt,,,,lol omg replying u means am coming down to ur level.

I am just letting you know you have a problem and you look silly.

I will sleep well without having your colomentality, while you spend your life trying to seek approval by denouncing and de-associating from your identity, Mama Treasure and Success.

Slave mind!

Lukay99:
After going through the comments I think the black race have a serious problem we like to say I'm black and proud but our actions reflects the opposite, I'm surprised when I see most of my friends that are based in Nigeria with their kids and yet this kids can't even speak any Nigerian native language they raised their children to only speak western languages with mostly western names but they get surprised when they see my son with non western name who is only 3+ speaking Yoruba fluently even though my son was born and raised here in the UNITED STATES this reminds me of one of Bob Marley songs The Redemption Song (THE BLACK RACE ANTHEM) "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds." Fela also said it in many of his songs that we Nigerians always values anything western maybe good or bad Mr Follow Follow some go follow follow (oyinbo) dem close their eyes we abandoned our beautiful African names with very strong powerful meaning and we are picking up western names with little or no meaning this is one of the reasons why I always says that Africa's biggest problem is it's own people it's a pity we don't even like ourselves

They seem to be sick.

We have people so proud to give their kids foreign names and also refuse to let their kids learn their local tongue and somehow think that makes them look cool.

Many want to follow their unenlightened parents into colomentality.

Amhappy:
Adachukwu,Chimnondu,Chidiuto & Chidinso (twins) God na your own remain.

To some I-diots, calling your kids these names is giving them "silly" names.

excellentmomma:
Don't mind the guy, I wonder what is wrong with a foreign name, afterall we combine both English and native names, culture and language in this country. Instead of fighting to develop our country he is fighting against naming foreign names, if mosquito bites him now he will look for good medical care in same foreign land, send his kids to school in same foreign land, and we are here talking about giving foreign names, is it the main thing. Let us fight to develop our land, let the foreigners start queuing up for our visa first. First thing first. Let's start inventing our own technology. Maybe you buy a tecno phone and name it oluwadarasimi phone, lolzzz

Please speak for yourself and your family.

Some of us are actually proud of our identity and everything that represents it. We no dey fake am.

blesoh:
u are such a fool,are u d one to give me d meaning of d name i give my kids?are u ds stupid or u just wanna show hw stupid u re.
Anyways ur opinion dont even count.give ur kids d stupid names ur local pple gives their kids.ewu

Colomentality fool!

So the problem is that you are ashamed of your local names and see them as stupid?

But you think calling your child "Treasure" or "Success" is not stupid?

Why not "Tyre"?

You are stupid beyond stupid.

blesoh:
why do u suggest that,do i look like am playing,name ur kids dat,i didnt ask for ur opinion.

blesoh:
are u nt working or u dont ve a certificate,dat u'll name ur kids such names.

Are you not working, a failure and you are on a treasure hunt that you will name your child "Treasure" and "Success"?

Were you playing or is that the local name of your people?

If you can name them those, why can't you name them "Salary" and "Certificate"?

If "Certificate" is not working for you, why you no name your child "PhD Degree"?

blesoh:
My 2 kids hv already gotten d names
Treasure and
Success all girls.
Am praying for a boy,,if i hv a boy he'll definitely bear my hubby's name or i'll name him,,,,,,,,,,i'll come to ds page nd search for a name.

Why not name the boy Salary or Certificate?

slam7000:
They are messed up in the head big time.

That's how slaves lost their identities. Today you will hear names like Shaniqua, shaneeqa, taniqua, Taneequa, it's like a Scottish answering Nakata instead of Scott or McQueen.

People are losing it slowly.

Jaqwan, Deshawn, LaShonda, Trayvon, Shameeka, Tyquan, Twanesha etc.

Ghetto people trying to look cool.

ronald4lif:
Having gone through the comments and see that most people here prefer foreign names to our native names, it's safe to conclude that the black race would forever remain slaves to imperialism.

Should a Chinese or an Indian come across the comments on this thread they would have nothing but pity and sympathy for the black man for still preferring the names of our colonial masters over theirs.

The black man would forever remain in bondage until we retrace our steps and realize that native names are more admired and respected even by the imperialists. Our identity/heritage would keep going deep down the pit until we start taking up our native names and language.

Absolute sympathy.

Many would sell their identity for bread.

They think it is when they give their kids white names (not even foreign) that they are cool.

Complete pathetic mentality, low self-worth and stupidity.

There are tribes in Nigeria now one would wonder if they are descendants of returned slaves years ago or if their tribes ever had traditional names before the colonial masters came.

martyns303:
H. Is the initial of my surname and it is an English name.

Why English names, "Martyns" has been and want to keep it, so my son technically would be Martyns III.

Crystabel is my kid sis name and I love her so much I intend to pass that love and name to my daughter.

So it is a generational continuation of your parents colomentality?

yungmarshall:
koz we are in a foreign land

If you were in China, would you have called them Chun Choo or Lee Wei?

If you were in UAE, would you have called them Abdulraheem or Al-Sabah?

If you were in South Africa, would you have called them Siyabonga or Thulani?

Cut the crap, bros. It is because of colomentality. Your mind is enslaved.

realjoker:
The Federal Ministry of Environment has terminated the controversial N9.2 billion clean cook stoves and wonder bags project, initiated by the former Goodluck Jonathan administration, for rural women under the national clean cooking scheme.

The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Environment, Mrs Fatima Mede, said the German contractor who was given three months to supply 750,000 units of the stove and 18,000 wonder bags under the project had failed on his part to deliver the items.

Mrs. Mede noted that five billion Naira had been released to the Ministry by the government out of which the contractor was paid N1.3 billion.

She urged Nigerians not to be apprehensive over the remaining N3.7 billion in the ministry’s coffers, which according to her remains untouched.

The Permanent Secretary noted that the stoves which were to be assembled locally were meant to provide jobs to Nigerians among other benefits.

According to the former administration, the programme was launched to engender clean cooking culture amongst rural women, in order to reduce and eliminate cooking with solid fossil which is considered detrimental to health.


http://www.channelstv.com/2015/06/03/environment-ministry-terminates-n9-2bn-clean-cook-stove-contract/

So we have lost N1.3bn?

Surely Oyo and Kaduna are the same woman?

socialmediaman:
Lol... Freelance Journalist? You mean like another Kevin, Charlyn and Kimberly Associates?

The same "Associates" that did the Poll Survey and said Jonathan would win a majority in the last elections?

SHARIAREPORTERS:
We in a "country" where heros re bin persecuted
And criminals(nyako and co) re bin celebrated

You mean in a country ran by Jonathan?

The way he celebrated Alamseiyegha, Bode George, Kasamu, Stella Oduah and co?

And persecuted Sanusi?

nepp:
Nigerians as usual, blinded by our HATE!!, I can't believe some people believe this poo, some of you didn't even read the post, you just see "gay" and start ranting without reasoning . How do you arrest 21 men with 122 condoms and call them gay, is that enough evidence ?? Nigerian police and stupidity!.

RiffRaff:
In Nigeria, hosting a party with your friends makes you gay...
Infact condom is the evidence that you are having a Gay initiation.
I have never heard a more absurd and ridiculous thing in my life.
The Nigerian police needs to be scrapped, they are the epitome of corruption.
I know being Homophobic in Nigeria is the new cool. Anytime you hear anything about Homosexuals, just go into bashing mode without thinking. The fact that some people on Nairaland are bashing innocent people that were harrassed, tortured & unlawfully detained for not commiting any crime shows that Nigeria is a failed society.
The educational system has failed cuz the average national I.Q has dropped to an all time low.
stup!d people everywhere, no wonder the country is so backwards.
Watchout keeping a condom in your pocket amongst your friends is now a crime in the Nigerian law.
I pity thia country with its people.

Please answer my question above.

If 21 men are found at a party with a lot of packets of condoms and when they are all arrested, the organisations that came to help them (which can be assumed to have been the ones contacted by their closests acquitances) are:

1) The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIER)

2) International Center for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights

Then they are undeniably what?

........................................


Please answer by filling in the gap.

Disgraceful old man, marrying a girl younger than his own.

And how is that disgraceful?

Most ladies in their 30s are used products.
13. Most of them are pretenders waiting for one gullible fresh mumu guy they can tie down with their fake love.
14. Most ladies in their 30s (esp Nigerian girls) would have slept with at least 10 different men.
I prefer young fresh ladies in their early 20s.

You have said it well.

Mbkite:
Here are the reasons why most men prefer ladies that are above 30years:

1. Most ladies in their 30's hardly NAG.
2. Most ladies in their 30's are matured in mind.
3. Most ladies in their 30's are set for true love and never too interested on a man's MONEY.
4. Most ladies in their 30's are always INDEPENDENT.
5. The longevity of a lady's beauty is seen fully in her 30's.
6. Most ladies in their 30's have no business with DOUBLE DATING.
7. Most ladies in their 30's know how best to CARE for a man. Men will understand what I mean.
8. Most ladies in their 30's know what they want in life, unlike d 20's
9. Most ladies in their 30's have a good DRESS SENSE
10. Most ladies in their 30's are COURAGEOUS.
11. Great, admirable and heartmelting MANNER.

Feel free to add yours...

The are only like this because they have reached the age of desperation and worrying.

Looks don dey disappear.

Change is here!

Imagine it is unelected Patience, not even Goodluck, that was going to London before swearing in. She would have used the cars like a Queen. If they did not offer the car, all hell would have broken lose at Heathrow.

Truckpusher:
Mr Dumbo,I never said criminals shouldn't be prosecuted ,I have maintained that what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

You can conveniently go kill ya self.

You are a big fooool! You said Jonathan should stop the extradition.

Fooool, how is that not siding the criminal. Idiiiot!

Truckpusher:
I had peeps like you on my mind when I wrote that stuff and of course I said ''sometimes, I am forced to think'' I hope you're able to figure out the figure of speech in my statement considering your unintelligent state of mind and logic.

Is Obasanjo now a mini god?

Have you ever bothered to ask yourself why white people refer to black people as having the crab's mentality?

You are a big fooool and nothing more than the monkey you are saying others are.

It is fooools like you that come out from the woodwork and start defending criminals by stating "except this other criminal is arrested, then we no one should arrest this criminal".

And you are talking about "unintelligence"?

Bala Mohammed

About emerging as the worst Minister of Federal Capital Territory since 1975, under Sen. Bala Mohammed’s watch, a less than three to five-kilometre road leading to his office from the NTA axis could not be completed for five years. He was more preoccupied with allocation of plots of land than building on the legacies of his predecessors. Once Bala Mohammed gets praises from the Presidential Villa, he is okay even if the residents are in pain.

He struggled to manage his predecessors’ projects haphazardly. Some of these projects are the Vice President’s residence, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua highway to the airport, Kubwa-Zuba expressway, and Senate President’s and Speaker’s official quarters. A few days ago, Mohammed wanted the President to inaugurate the Umaru Yar’Adua highway when it was obvious that the project (paid for upfront by the administration of the late President) has not been completed. A clever Jonathan said he was only around to inspect the project (not to commission it).

The ‘legacies’ of Bala Mohammed include non-functional street lights, decrepit six districts in the FCT, high rate of crimes, general insecurity, dysfunctional CCTV, dilapidated school structures, poor waste management system, importation of one-year life span buses for mass transportation.

The inability of Mohammed’s administration to live up to his promise to rehabilitate the UN Building destroyed by Boko Haram and insecurity in Abuja contributed to the erosion of confidence in Jonathan’s administration by some countries like the US, the UK and others.

Diezani Alison-Madueke

Arguably the most powerful minister Nigeria has ever produced, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke presided over the oil sector with such a tight grip as if she is on an everlasting assignment. In the last five years, she has incurred the wrath of the International Oil Companies (IOCs) which are divesting in Nigeria’s oil sector. Some of her defects in office are unending fuel scarcity nationwide; fuel subsidy scam; instability in NNPC having worked with five Group Managing Directors; alleged lavish spending of a whopping N10billion on chartered flights by NNPC for her use and other operations; $20b oil funds unaccounted for; fall in the sale of crude oil; non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill(PIB); award of N4billion pipeline contracts to ex-militants and militia leaders; increase in oil theft and lack of accountability.

The oil sectors stank to such extent that an external auditing firm, PWC was commissioned by the presidency to look into the account of the NNPC. Under Diezani, the nation does not know how much oil it is selling, the whereabouts of the proceeds and the accruals from the excess funds gained from crude oil benchmark. The minister by her actions and inactions became a liability to the presidency, to the extent that Jonathan’s government was judged by the rot in the oil sector. Unfortunately, the President could not muster courage to check the perceived excesses of the minister. Nigerians, however, voted out Jonathan on March 28 because they were tired of the story of corruption in the oil sector.

These 2 are corrupt criminals that need to be in jail ASAP.

When are they extraditing Dick Cheeney from the U.S. to face charges for his involvement in the Halliburton scam?

It is a shame that we have to put our people at the mercy of these imperialists whose crime against black Africa has never been paid for in any manner. Jonathan should stop this mess , let Buhari do it himself .


Sometimes I'm forced to believe that the Black man is the most iidiotic being ever created by God if at all God exists .

Using you as an example, it is hard to argue against this.
