Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, is serving some serious fierceness in a new shot she just shared. The platinum hair-do, lace mono strap dress, gold belt cinching the waist and versace high heels made up her whole look. See photos below...

henrydadon:
when will jungle justice end for Christ sake..this is one of the reason why Africa will forever remain backward..whatever happen to reporting him to the police..

You're correct, but since we now know that jungle justice has come to stay in Nigeria we should desist from stealing in the streets, market or any other place where such justice could easily be served.

fnep2smooth:

What is your Attorney saying?

MCMXCVIII:

No, but as a grown up guy I must have seen or know those that know those that engage in such business.

MCMXCVIII:
hmmm baba I don dey fear you oo!

Wetin I do?

banki:
When pdp was in power they did that all the time everytime

Now they think the same will be done to them

Then where is the change? If APC is following PDP's "bad" precedent, it simply means they will also "fail" and be "rejected" by the masses.

Ayodejioak:
8 or eighty? That number is outrageous. A school's credibility is never determined by how many blockhead they loose but bow many block heads they reshape... oakey

Guy some heads need replacement ooh.

MCMXCVIII:
Na to do Yahoo remain na

Lol! But yahoo business Na brain work ooh or Na juju dem go rely on only?

IYANGBALI:
some stoopid lecturers see themselves as gods

Meanwhile they're just ordinary civil servants living on borrowed money from their respective cooperatives.

kenonze:
How come only APC is busy doing grassroot campaign while PDP is busy wailing


@OP,
That home theater Speaker will spoil the screen of your Tv. It will wipe off the colors

I guess because of the magnet inside the speaker.

IYANGBALI:
That's why we need some cult guys on our campuses to discipline fools like dis lecturer

Very true, if any lecturer try such rubbish in AAU sorry will be his surname. Some guys will either set him up, kidnap him or any of his relative .

Amaechi my Hero!!!

Your hero? Can you just mention his political success in South South? APC lost the entire six states in the Last presidential election. How many APC Senators do we have in South South or Governors? What is Ameachi's political prowess in South South? I don't talk because people are talking. NOTE: I belongs to nobody but the truth.

dason4life:
Am waiting for E-diots who will blame Buhari for dis

As if Fashola didn't blame GEJ when arm robbers visited Lagos bank that time.

It seems so many guys are so confused on dating to an extent where they erroneously equate it with marriage! Dating is just a period where two persons who find themselves attracted to each other try to know themselves better; it could even happen in a way where either one of them is not 'too interested' in the other person but as time goes on, good attitude, genuine love and care, coupled with clear understanding shown by either the guy or the lady could make both of them 'click' for good.

On a serious note, some guys can actually go the extra mile by portraying some unnecessary and irrelevant attitude that can cause them emotional pains in return

Below are some common misconceptions guys have about dating which is not supposed to be a 'do-or-die' affair!!!

1) Policing a girl: Dating period shouldn't be a time for you to police a girl as if you work for the FBI! When a girl agrees to date you, it means she has interest in you and would like to know you better. It is not a period to show your skills in detective operations and start snooping around her, trying to know her every whereabout...how she eats, who she talks to, who she calls or who calls her. You might just end up selling yourself out as a desperate and jobless fellow who has nothing serious to attend to in life! Give yourself some self-worth, Inspector Idemudia!!!

2) Exercising ownership over her: This is one big misconception that most guys have! Remember you have not paid a dime on her...so why exercise ownership? Isn't it funny that as soon as she agrees to date you, you want her to cut off every raport she has with everyone? You erroneously think that when you claim ownership, it gives you a strong ground in her life! Wrong! You could even trigger hatred. Allow her to study you and other admirers to see who has the desired traits! This is far from her playing 'hard to get' because at this stage, she has already showed interest in you! A woman hardly respects a man who act as if his life is tied around her.

3) Imposing your personal policies on her: Again, you are not married to her. There is no need for you to impose your policies on her to accept. She has her own life to live and there is no signed certificate anywhere that she is your wife or she is going to be one in the nearest future. Even husbands are not suppose to impose policies on wives talk more of doing that at the dating stage!!! You might end up selling yourself out as an undesirable tyrant!!!

4) Taking the role of a husband financially: The dating period is not a time for you start catering for the financial responsibilities of a lady because you neither owe her any duty nor obligation to do that! It doesn't mean you should become mean as Caliban! You should show generosity to the one you are dating but don't make it seem as if you running to get to the finish line and at the same time, trying to carry somebody on your back all along. You sure know what that means It is difficult to stop when you have already started; it's better not to start what you cannot end. Never you use money to impress a woman you want to get serious with; instead, let her see the work or essence of the money in your life...then, she would'nt think of 'money' you'd have to spend but the 'success' you have been able to achieve. Don't forget, women love successful men and they are loyal to them and not just a money spender!!!

Good evening everyone

Good evening.

Before leaving the office this evening, I decided to do a once over on the front page of the forum (as I mostly just keep refreshing the politics section for updates) and saw a news item that caught my interest: Newtelegraph reported a case of a girl that died of injuries she sustained after being gang raped by six boys.

From the report, there were two victims but so far, only one has died. I Hope and pray the other makes it to full recovery.

The unfortunate and barbaric incident took place in Onicha Igboeze in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi state, South East Nigeria

Four suspects were said to have been remanded at the federal prison, Abakaliki; while the other two were granted bail at the behest of one Chief Ogbonnaya Okereke.

For convenience purposes, let's call the victim Amaka. (apologies to all the Amakas in the house).

Digest the preamble above as I introduce miss Ese Oruru.

The person Ese Oruru actually needs no introduction on this forum, and perhaps, across Nigeria. Governors, traditional rulers, ministers, police chiefs, senators, civil rights activists, political party bigwigs, mainstream media, religious leaders, legal luminaries, Nobel prize winners, educational heavyweights, and the ordinary man on the street are all familiar with the name Ese Rita Oruru. She rivals the famous Olajumoke in (un)popularity and had what she was associated with a thing of pride, perhaps she would have been the brand ambassador of countless brands across the country today.

Hers was a story of an alleged 13 year old Bayelsan kidnapped and forcefully married and converted to Islam by one Yunusa Yellow, a NORTHERNER

The story of Ese Oruru took the media by storm and literally BROKE THE INTERNET!! The social media, from facebook to twitter, was on fire for days on end as Nigerians were held spellbound by the unbelievably barbaric act of Yunusa Yellow, Ese's alleged boyfriend.

Nairaland of course wasn't left out of the orgy!! Google the words "ese oruru nairaland" and you'd be awe struck at the sheer number of threads that were created on account of that incident! Of course that was expected as nothing gets the forum in a frenzy more than a story of an alleged abuse of a Southerner by a Northerner, or a Christian by a Muslim!

Threads about the incident hurriedly made the front page and run several pages before losing steam- all after commentators must have taken turns to abuse Muslims and Northerners generally. These group of people seem defenceless on the forum and perhaps social media generally since they are not as internet savvy and social media inclined as people from other parts of the country.

At the receiving end of the relentless attacks were:

1. Mr President; his crime being that he's also a Northerner and a Muslim.

2. Emir of Kano whose offence is same as that of Mr President.

Some stretched their hate to their elastic limits as the accuse the president of personally sanctioning the incident since he's a "paedophile" as he also married Aisha "at the age of 13!!"

The attacks went on for days unabated culminating in a threat by Senator Ben Bruce to sue the IGP to the ICC! Abati also arrived the scene to take his own pound of flesh!! Femi Fani Kayode of course also took his share as he could not be left out of the fist fest, moreso, it was right down his alley!!!

Now folks, fast forward a week after, news breaks of a SOUTHERN teenager raped to death by SOUTHERNERS and social media and Nairaland is as quiet as a King Tut's Tomb!!

Why is this so Nigerians??!!

1. Is Ese's life worth more than that of the girl that was brutally raped to death??

2. Are the dramatis personae involved in a crime of this nature supposed to determine the level of press/general coverage/attention it receives?? Would the offence have been more criminal had the rapists come from another region or belong to another religion??

3. Is this the first time a crime of this nature is happening in this part of the country?? Why are they usually undereported?? Whose purpose is the press serving??

4. Following from the logic of the Ese Oruru's commentators, would it be appropriate if one tagged Christians or South Easterners as child rapists and murderers owing to the crime of six folks out of millions??

5. Was the case for Ese borne out of altruism and sheer concern for her welfare or was it more about POLITICS??

6. Would things stand where they are as regards the Ebonyi incident had it been reported the name of one of the culprits is Adamu??

Mull over these while I take a sip of water... Brb.

Back..

Now, as much as we can, we always try to pass ourselves off as modern, civilised and intelligent folks with unrivalled knowledge about the essence of humanity, and more often than not, in the course of doing so, the underbelly of our disdain for civility is revealed; ironic one would say.

Here's what I'm talking about: what Yunusa did was unacceptable in all ramifications and ought to be condemned by any right thinking human- but in doing this, some people, a good number, revealed their potential to do a lot worse than Yunusa could ever dream of doing. They literally forgot about the culprit and aimed the barrel of their cannons right at the heart of Northerners and Muslims generally! Some said they should be nuked and completely vaporised off the surface of the earth, that it is the panacea to world peace- these astonishing propositions put forward by supposed Christians who should know better!

Ese lives, Amaka is dead, but Yunusa's crime seems to surpass that of the Ebonyi Six. How convenient!

This type of scenario has been playing out since God-knows-when.

Let me digress a little at this point to share another nauseating instance of this double standard/hypocrisy.

Few hours ago, someone created a thread regarding the Senators who killed the Women's Rights Bill in the Senate. I don't know how reliable the news is but the op mentioned some Senators that supported the bill and three who didn't. Out of the three, two were presumably Muslims (from their names) while one was a Christian who sited a verse in the Bible to justify his stance against the bill.

Predictably when some people arrived the scene to comment, they completely ignored the Christian Senator and the reason put forward by him for his position and attacked the "almajiri Senators", inundating the thread with just about enough insults to knock the lights out a heavyweight boxer.

They became selectively oblivious to events of the recent past involving the Enugu state house of assembly where a similar bill was killed just the same way leaving one to ask: how many Northern almajiri honourables are present in Enugu SHoA that they succeeded in killing such a wonderful bill??

Mull over that for a moment reader...

Now tell us fellas, why have we chosen to turn the Northerners/Muslims into our preferred bogeymen and e-punching bags?? Exactly what crime did the North commit?? Since when did we jettison our democratic level tolerance for ethnoreligious diversity??

Politics is a game, and as such, must always have winners and losers. A people have an inalienable prerogative to vote whoever they think could best advance their course and interests; the Northerners saw that man in Buhari and the South Easterners and South Southerners saw the person in Jonathan. Each people threw their weight behind their preferred candidate and fate smiled on the former- how difficult is that to accept

Many a great democracy were built on such incidences of shift of power from a political party with time as it addresses mediocrity and dictatorship. It is in the best interest of those who lost to go back to the drawing board and realign their strategy. Take your defeat in your stride, learn from your mistakes, and take another shot at your goal- what comes of it would be anybody's guess.

As it stands today, Ese and Amaka's cases would, for a long time to come, remain a dark reminder of our hypocrisy as a people. They would remind us of how morally depraved we've become all in the name of politics.

The Abatis, FFKs and Muray Bruces of this world would remain completely mute over this as talking about it and condemning the culprits and the region from whence they come wouldn't do their political base any good. They all thrive on the hatred and mundane prejudices they've sown in our hearts, through their utterances, which we sometimes express indeliberately- meaning they've become a part of our character!

We must strive to exorcise that spirit of hate and kill it, lest it kills us all.

Remember:

Religious wars are not caused by the fact that there is more than one religion, but by the spirit of intolerance... the spread of which can only be regarded as the total eclipse of human reason.- Charles de Secondat.


Good night.

Is it so difficult for you to understand that Nigeria is not one?

...But I am not aware of any law in Nigeria that restrict women from contesting for all the political offices or being appointed to any office in Nigeria. Under our Constitution both genders are given equal rights. So what is actually their grievances?

Jaymima:
Polygamous man. Which of his daughters is this? Anna Banner's or Sandra Okagbue's?
This is a weird looking car sha. Anybody know the name?

Is he the only polygamous man in Nigeria? Or has it become a crime to be polygamous? What about the ladies? Stop your envy my friend

sinaj:
Wich of his daughters

All his daughters belongs to him. So what's query about?

omanzo02:
Prime ministers of countries in Europe walk on the street without securities, u can stop to shake hands or talk to them, so Nigeria's politicians should stop acting God. Lol

No, Nigerians should stop making them look like God. Brainwashed citizens praise politicians for doing absolutely nothing. As you can see some zombies here praising him for boarding a bus. Why should this be news in the first place? How does this translate into benefit(s)? Ooh, I weep for Nigeria and Nigerians.

LanceO:
Sorry to say, but you sound dumb. Whatever you see/have in this country today didn't start today. It's a ripple effect of what had been happening before now. Solution doesn't come in one day.....

You and your generation is the dumbest ass here for not talking about your ripple effect during the last regime. Or people should not complain about the present regime because there has been previous one? Is it possible for us to go back to 1960 and start demanding for our rights from those leaders that ruled us from then till 2015? You and your coward generation made it seem Nigeria was created during the last regime without having regard to the fact that there has been several regimes before the very last one. I advice you to pack your load and that of your generation and go to HELL.

seunmsg:
What will Buhari benefit from ATM card charges?

Is the charges going into the coffers of government or the banks?

Just like I said on a thread earlier today, we apportion blames based on sentiments and emotions instead of common sense and pragmatism. Instead of calling out the greedy banks and their CBN collaborators, most of you are shouting Buhari. What has Buhari got to do with this?

Just look at yourself!. CBN belongs to which arm of government? Who give orders to CBN Governor? Who regulates commercial banks? Or were you born in the year 2000?

If this is true and they go ahead to implement it even in the midst of this excruciating hardship, I decree that this regime shall/must come to a disgraceful and abrupt end 14 days after such implementation.

Very annoying, lazy, unintelligible, unintelligent way of writing "Country".

godson36:
i wonder why people like you are left to walk on the street. Our government needs to start picking up all the mad man on the street and they should also test people like you. NOT all mad man wear a torn cloth. What am sure of is IF nigeria becomes great under buhari, you won't li*ve to enjoy it. AMEN

Just know that many people are angry at the moment and some are even frustrated with the current hardship. People want immediate solution to this hardship and not talk. The Government should just work and let people see their work instead of deceiving people like you with too much talk. This very afternoon I purchased some office stuffs that usually cost N130, 000 before now, but I paid N189, 000 for same. Every normal and reasonable human being in Nigeria have the right to be angry with the government at the moment.
