jconsulting: Fools everywhere Professor Soyinka collect award Achebe did not, so why kill yourself,
Some of you were not every born , let us go back to regional government and develop our region
Easterner should go back and stop claiming they help develop Lagos, Lagos can not be the state of origin of any Chukwudi or Emeka
Expand your research a little bit you will understand the circumstances of the award to Soyinka (He did the typical thing his people are known for, going behind everyone else that had agreed to boycott the award to collect it. Check and find out why Achebe chose not to accept but his books are being studied and translated into all sorts of languages, eg Things fall apart. Read wide, don't restrain yourself to ewedu and amala history around ogbomosho
Clevite: Professor Yemi Oke has written a letter to President Joe Biden of the United States of America and Justin Pierre James Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, in response to Chimamanda Adichie''s letter describing Nigeria's democracy as a Hollow Democracy.
The Professor of Law describes Adichie's letter as "A Case of Extra-territorial Ethnocentric Politicking of a Non-Resident Nigerian-American"
Tinubuwins2023e: If that bastard Chimamdiwerey thinks na only she sabi write letter, omo she go see letter. The fool thinks she is that intelligent than every other Nigerian. People speaking up are doing so so that a mad bigot will not tarnish the image of our beloved country within the international space
The more the letter writers, the more we open ourselves up to the international community on the foolery of a contraption called Nigeria with the tragedy of a set of old men that have squandered and want to continue to squander our commonwealth. It is a show of shame actually.
Josewonder: A foolish small bigotry girl that does know Nigerian politics joining his elder foolish brothers (ipob) to wail as usual over an election dat no Igbo man living or dead can ever win. Mumu people. She taught united States are stupid like him papa
Chimamanda said I should tell you that the bolded (above) should read thought
a. The former is a teaching process b. The second is a thinking process
internationalman: Too small compared to what players received weekly. I mean most of these referees cover more ground on the pitch than some of my darlin Chelsea players like Lotus Cheek and Kai Harvertz.
They are lucky I ain't a referee. I would have been making up for this meager salary by influencing the match I'm going to officiate. All I would have had to do was give money to someone else to stake on the match I'm officiating.. I would influence the result in favour of my bet in the least noticeable way.
If there is no attempt at goal you can't manufacture one. It is not as easy as it sounds
Westerhoffe: Ain't this too small compared to footballers', knowing they both run same race around the pitch…
Modified: To those quoting me asking which race are they running around the pitch?
Let's be honest, referees run along with the ball. If they don't then it's not a match they're refereeing.
Normal if they have other businesses or source of income, but still it's still quite low compared to footballers'.
Same referees don't come through for all the matches, unlike players who are meant to be available for ALL the matches of their team, whether or not they play. I think another way of analysing your argument is to say if the referees gat paid this amount (calculated as X) and a single referee appears in all the matches played (y) then (X.Y) will represent what should be their linear pay. Will you still think it is low?
Antipob777: Barely six weeks after the conduct of the 2023 General elections, Peter Obi meets firmer boss Atiku Abubakar ahead of an alliance for 2027.
It was gathered that Atiku requested Peter Obi to return to the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to enable them run together in 2027 and takeover power from the ruling All Progressive Congress.
Both weighed options in respect of there tribunal cases and are not optimistic of coming out victoriously hence the move to form an Alliance now and make the obedient movement a much more moving train.
Obi requested Atiku to allow him sometime to consult with some political associates and revert back to him.
Present in the meeting were Pat Utomi, Dominic Okupe, Dino Malaye, Gov Fintiri etc.
sapele914: E be like say you just start to dey make money? Some people have been living in wealth since they were born.
I am talking about me, not some people. Have you forgotten what the convo was about? This conversation was not about wealth or affluence, just in case you have forgotten. I have your time and I am available to engage.
sapele914: Gerrout I work in Nigeria, and hit the skies whenever I need to, be It London, Amsterdam or State side, frequent flyer miles still plenty.
Lol, now you are prevaricating. You claimed ownership of abodes in London (may be UK) and spending time in Miami, I had no reason to be interested in all those. I only tried to respond to your suggestion that I am unable to 'japa' because I can't afford it, thus I sought to clarify that I travel all expenses paid on company funds. Now that the bubble is burst, you are now working in Nigeria and hitting the skies at leisure. Meanwhile you also parade a green card. It is not a crime to dream, nevertheless.
sapele914: You get visa, I possess a Green Card, please tell me something substantial. Chi chi that you are here supporting, I have met her personally in South Beach Miami so get lost.
On the bolded, I don't know who that person is, neither am i in a position to support who I do not know.
Kid, I haven't been to the US, never will, never choose to. I by pass training offers to that country. Now listen and listen real good, we are not all drunk on travelling outside the country only to be hiding around and about and working with some other persons document, no. Some of us live our life where we can command respect and do what we want, which is why we want a sane country. Please note that you have derailed and have not addressed the issue at hand. You chose to comment on my post, I don't recall tagging you, now you have started stating all manner of incoherent things not in the least connected to or related with the subject matter of this discourse. I will advise you to stay on course and let us discuss since that is what you set out to do originally.
Geminiivory: 😆 So you think ahe ll act like Wole Soyinka, that hypocrite? Some people are really born different in case you dont know
Lol. Some people do not understand that there are people so principled that they cannot compromise their belief and convictions on the altar of what stands as an opportunity cost of their decision. Chinua Achebe was such a man.
Bigcoconut: Hello, guys I don't want to bore you guys with long epistle. Yes, as the title suggests.
I travelled to Canada through the study route this January but I can tell you for a fact that I'm already bored with this place.
I'm redoing a 2 year program that I have already concluded in Naija but just because I want japa, I redid it. But that's not the issue.
The issue is that I'm working in a company but the department I was posted to was a physical demanding one..
To the extent that if I work for a day, I feel pain all over my body for a week. And this is seriously affecting my education because anytime i go to work, i wouldn't have the energy to do anything again as i would be so weak. but i have to work because i have bills to pay.
Nobody send you for here except you want sleep for cold outside.
Even half of my salary goes in the form of settling bills.
The work makes me depressed. This is not what I bargained for. .
For me to raise money for my tuition fees and travel expenses, at least I wasn't doing bad in Nigeria before i left. In addition, I hardly have time for myself.
My situation is even better, most of people who we came same time haven't found jobs yet.
My thinking is if I should ask for refund of my remaining tuition fee and relocate back Naija, or go back Naija and take some courses online, as there seems to be an option for that.
Please show us by reference where you specifically sought our opinion before leaving Nigeria. If you did not seek our opinion, then reach out to those that advised you and get their further advise on next steps. Leave us out of your unilateral decisions and choices.
sapele914: Of course we know, that the only senseless thing that makes any sense to you ipobians, is that 3rd place Judas Peter Obi, leaped over his Oga Abubakar Atiku who came 2nd, & flew over Bola Tinubu the confirmed victor, to win an election he had no chance in the world of winning.
Congratulations on your political illusion.
You still ain't making sense to me. I am not prepared to bandy words with you. Address the point I raised or go play with your mates in the sand.
Mankindman: In summary, the favour of the Lord of host is upon BAT. I was discussing with a friend yesterday, I asked him to view the genesis of ascending of Asiwaju, how he was betrayed by one Judas Iscariot in Aso Rock, how he fought for the party ticket, how the masses money was confiscated, how an artificial fuel scarcity was introduced, all because of one man, how almost all the churches in Nigeria mobilized their faithful against BAT on the premise of Muslim-Muslim ticket. Indeed, noone born of woman could have overcome this without the favour of Almighty God. May the tenure of BAT ushered us into a renew hope and prosperity. Amen May the children of hate that called you all the dirtiest name in the dictionary of languages bow down before you, same way the enemies of biblical Joseph bowed before him. May the good Almighty God give the president elect a long life and good health. Your 2nd term is guarantee by his grace. Amen
In all of these, he is also of the ruling party, so are you suggesting that his party was against him?
Insecurity: 2023 Polls: You’ll be lucky to escape lawsuit, Tinubu’s team tells Chimamanda Adichie
Mrs Adichie had alleged in a letter to President Joe Biden of the US that INEC Chair, Mahmood Yakubu, may have been compromised by Mr Tinubu, who won the recent Nigeria's presidential election.
So without a doubt, INEC and APC are one body, else how can APC be threatening a suit on behalf of the INEC chairman? We are so terrible as a country, God forbid
HilcomTech: S/E are known for all kinds of dubious ways
Dumb talk. Is it in Lagos that the agbero will refund? Instead of appreciating the effort made by the lawyer who I am sure you will still vilify for studying a useless course, you are here finding a tribal coloration for something we should all be proud about.
UNICAL first identified his mental imbalance and rusticated him. He went on to RSUT and those ones confirmed his infirmity. So confusion has always been part of him. This is the story of Melford Goodhead, aka Asari Dokubo, born to a Rivers State judge of the High Court that year. Sad.
Pics: Some of the buildings already marked for repossession.
Some years back some hopheads came to our street somewhere in the mainland and started pasting similar papers not emanating from any court. A few of us just decided to come together every night and shoot into the air for about a week. That is how those urchins chose life instead of mortuary. When their parents are done selling their lands these ones grow up and start looking for how to make more money from legitimate land owners, especially when owo park cannot buy enough weed again.
This is when being an aboki pays. Touch him and see the people you are reporting him to shout Allau Arkba....The rest will be story. My Northern brethren will protect their own against the rest of you, anyday anytime.
Legitisreal: na una like to boast about wealth pass for Africa
But when it's time to be counted una go say una no chop meat again
We are fine with sharing our wealth amongst our people rather than ranking first and second in Africa with wretched beggars and almajiris everywhere and dirty looking and scraggy agberos shouting owo mi da upandan.
I'm sure even if God says anything against Obi today you will say the same thing about Him.
You see why abokis dey vex and talk about blasphemy? You are now equating Wole Soyinka with Jesus Christ? No wonder Keyamo once told Mr. Soyinka that he should concentrate with his twinkle twinkle little star
Johnnyplus01k: ode Listen to yourself, the aworis sound like chinedu for your hear, is still within the yoruba context, oyo govt can never dépôt à Ondo man, yoruba too wise bro. Why can't you go to a national TV and announce that Lagos is a no mans land, better still use your twitter handle. Oshi
E dey sweet me, E dey pain you. I don talk my own, If dem born your genealogy well, come my house and beat me
