Is the UAD leader/Coordinator, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa not Tompolo's counsel?...Suddenly he is now a 'human rights activist' and not a lawyer abi?. People like him and Fayose, were the ones that contributed to the failure of the proposed protest. I have said it, until we have rallies and protests devoid of political,religious and ethnic sentiments, things will not change for the better....

when some people are praying to die @ 75

Such people are either poor, unhealthy or depressed already. Because if at 75 u are healthy, rich or comfortable and your children/grandchildren are doing great, u will not feel like leaving yet.

While Kemi environmental theory follows her claim that Georgina location is not Ibadan, the actress on her part says she is waiting for Kemi at Iperu Remo in IB...

Is there any IPERU REMO in Ibadan?

Have you wondered why all this problems started when he broke up with Toyin Aimaku? She is the brain behind it. Most of these Lagos big girls in quote are assistant native doctors!

Why didn't Toyin's ex hubby, Niyi Johnson, suffer the same fate?;It's not as if Toyin even married this Seun of a guy. They were just in a romantic relationship which did not even last 6months sef. In essence, the guy had always been a criminal hiding behind movie production as legitimate source of income. But, just as maurinho as Chelsea manager, overnight, became a 'failure',from being the 'special' one...Seun Egbegbe's time is up!.

However, this does not mean some of these actresses are not fetish..

Omisore is just like ATIKU, they carry around this albatross that naturally prevents them from enjoying the goodwill of a majority of the electorate....I am sure this move is geared towards mending fences with Ooni ahead of the next election in the state...but it is dead on arrival!

Nollywood puts pressure on its people to live fake lives which they need a lot of money to sustain
The ladies , call themselves actresses and indulge in high class prostitution to live up to the standard, while the actors and producers either become gigolos to sex starved wives of politicians or rich women( remember CHIDI Mokeme) or they go into drug pushing , or in Seun Egbegbe's case, a life of habitual crime . All ways to achieve the same goal.

You just spoke my mind!!!!....
The ones who refuse to join the bandwagon live an average life. In fact sometimes u see them on the streets and wonder if they are the same people you see in movies cos their life is even 'sub-average'.

dhardline:
when celebrities do shitty stuffs like this, they become a big part of the problem cause a lot of ladies who have her as their role model will want to do same thinking it's OK. Totally Shitty

When ladies who see her as a role model copy everything she does, that is no more mentorship, it is dogmatism. Unfortunately, like u observed many dogmatic ladies including celebrities will continue from where she stopped and take it to a higher level sef..

Why should he be making budget for another administration when probably he won't be around to see it passed by the assembly?

He still has more than three weeks in office. Passing the budget by a 'rubber stamp' assembly does not take time except there's crisis among members.

So, this is more of a moral issue than a legal or constitutional one. Morally,he should have allowed the incoming administration do it,but legally, I THINK he still reserves the right to present the budget.

They did not only kneel down, but they also used the hands they used to shake him to rub their faces immediately.....hmmmmmm.

You are right. Even with a PhD, someone with HND background can not lecture in the university.

God changed his curse to blessing for me I know he will be Amoung the deportees to join the fraustrating protest by all losers who voted the losers in

Now that God turned his curse to blessing for you, is that not enough reason for you not to wish him evil?

See the tact in his response-Trying to mend fences ahead of the time he will need Akiolu's endorsement.

Dear poster,
How are you doing? I hope you are doing fine..
please I want to use this time and correct u on ur post...
please, solitary people don't have better relationship, they end up not knowing how to easily relate with other people talk more of being in relationships

please re-read ur post! God bless!!


Yours sincerely,
Geraldo

Your observation is not out of place. But, what the OP stated is perfectly in order.

Generally, most people in this category appear NOT to be sociable. That doesn't mean they don't know how to relate with others. They do. But, they, unconsciously, look out for people of substance, people who are genuine, people who are trustworthy, people who are reliable, people who understand them and won't take them for granted or capitalize on their shortcomings to cheat them.

As such, it is difficult for SP (let's call them solitary people) to see these virtues or attributes in one person the first time they come across them.

But, once they study someone and see you have most of these attributes, they can even make the first move to be your friend. And u know what?-they can be very jovial, friendly and sacrificial.

Now, for example, if an SP guy sees these virtues in a lady and in addition he tends to have feelings of love for her, such a relationship can and will often stand the test of time. Why?. Because, he has UNCONSCIOUSLY sieved others out and gone for a lady who is first a FRIEND( because anyone with such attributes is indeed a friend) before being a LOVER. and what makes relationships, especially MARITAL ones stand the test of time is the bond of FRIENDSHIP not the fleeting emotions of LOVE.

This is the way SPs have good relationships- they don't believe in quantity of people but they stick to qualities of people around them.

After 'screaming for joy' as promised, you will later 'scream for help' ... Men need to be very careful these days.

When I saw that line about the 'Michael Bolton' song, I paused and imaged if it was a Nigerian song. Na to jump enter the well be that na. There are few exceptions though in the industry.
#shoutout to the Nigerian musicians who put in their time and effort to give us meaningful songs.

Lol@na to jump enter well if na Nigerian song. And truly most contemporary Nigerian songs leave you more depressed.
Like u rightly noted, there are exceptions...but these exceptions are very few...and they are not as celebrated as the ones with anything-goes kind of music.

musicwriter:
Very touching!!.

And below is the song that consoled him, "When I'm Back On My Feet Again" by Michael Bolton.

Gonna break from these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it

When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it

When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down that street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that
I'm strong

Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them

When I'm back on my feet again
Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it.....

..And Michael Bolton that wrote and sang the song may not even know someone somewhere on the continent of Africa got saved by the lyrics of his song.

This is a lesson to our musicians who pay attention to beats ONLY and not lyrics....A lesson to our Actors, Scriptwriters, Movie Directors and Producers who give us movies without life-impacting contents....their works hardly outlive them....

That you were not impressed or influenced by her doesn’t mean that other don’t appreciate her or follow her religiously

She contested and lost the election for House of Assembly in Oyo State 2015. So by our Nigerian definition, she is a politician. All she is saying is getting involved like I did. If and when you win, be the change you so desire. If you think she won’t change, then we can as well assume no one will do well once the win. If this theory holds, then why are we complaining? See I am not against this protest, in fact I am participating, but we must wakeup and stop voting these old recycled politicians.

This is untrue. How has Tuface, Olamide or Davido fell out with the government?
See we need to stop seeing every protester as someone needing some kind of favours from the government. It only takes a conscience that is alive to speak out against the ills in our society.

In reality, we are all politicians whether we know it or not. Unless most of us have been living in seclusion during our lifetime, we have consciously or unconsciously actively been involved in politics.

I get your points. Yes, Funke has followers I am not disputing that. Every celebrity does let alone one that turned politician. I also remember when she made an attempt to get into the Oyo state house of assembly contesting on the platform of PDP and losing to APC in 2015.

But, don't get me wrong, I am not against active participation of Youths as she has advocated-why should I?. There's no better time to be involved than now.

What I am driving at is that the youths who want to venture into politics must be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they can effect the much needed change else we won't see any difference between them and the self-centred old politicians. How can they do this?- Let them discharge their 'non-political' responsibilities with DIGNITY AND INTEGRITY. It is when you do this that I can have confidence in you and vote for you. You can't give what what you don't have.

Without sounding sanctimonious, the chances of someone, found wanting morally, before venturing into politics, becoming a politician of integrity, are very slim....and who do we need in Nigerian political terrain if not competent men and women of proven integrity and empathy.

About Tuface, Davido etc...I chose my words carefully, I said SOME of them, I didn't generalize. Here's an example- there were celebrities who participated in the protest against Subsidy removal during Jonathan administration, where are they now?. or perhaps, where were they when Buhari administration did the same thing they protested against?. Wait and see the celebrities that will join this forthcoming protest, that's when you'll see that the entertainment Industry is divided along political and tribal lines. If this doesn't happen, I will gladly and humbly eat my words.

This is not even a celebrity thing, the day Muslims protest killings of Christians in Southern kaduna and Northerners protest the killings by Fulani herdsmen, the day Christians protest bombing of mosques in the North, the day NLC protests against deplorable state of things and not just for salary increase, then protests will begin to make sense...

In short, YOUTHS who are interested in politics must go into it with integrity and change things for the better, and those who are not cut out for it, should equally play their roles well in nation building ....However I agree with u that everyone is a 'political animal' but this should not becloud our sense of patriotism

wellmax:
We have been singing "we are the leaders of tomorrow" since Nineteen gbogboro
Its time to actualize that. Protest as good as it is, is not the only solution.
Stop electing old bags. get involved, participate, seek elective positions and let the youths vote for the youths.
If you say they are all the same, then why are w protesting.

Yes, participation of youths is not entirely a bad idea as u have put it. But, the guy u quoted is not entirely wrong either.

Now, the lady asking us to join Politics, was once an actress. In her capacity as an actress, how did she impact her world?. Did u know you could change someone's mindset by the movies u act, direct or produce?. Did she leave such a legacy? The impression I had about her was not pleasant one...that's the reason some are calling her 'olosho'. Not because she is an actress,some actresses would make the same statement and lots of people would respect their view. So tell me, what do I expect from such a lady if she becomes a politician?

Same applies to those who want to protest. In their capacities as artistes, how have most of them helped their society?. Are they not the same people singing about Drug, glorifying sexual promiscuity and all sorts of unhealthy lifestyles?. Some of them are protesting because they fell out of favour with the current government. The same way those who are benefitting greatly will keep mum despite the messy situation we have found ourselves in.

In short, as individuals we must do things right, call a spade a spade, we must act in the interest of the nation and not allow our self centerdness take the better part of us in whatever position we might be occupying.

Not everyone will be a politician,but everyone can differentiate what is right from what is wrong..

If you truly want to leave, you won't bother announcing it.
You are 1 out of 1,733,807 members in case you feel important
Or you just want likes

By the way, I have had similar thoughts but I keep coming back so I decided not to fight it anymore. When I truly want to leave, my interest won't resurrect. Shikena

Do you actually believe there are 1.7million members on Nairaland?. I don't think so. Many have multiple accounts, some have dormant accounts while most members are not even active..though there are thousands of guests sha.

The guy raised some valid points, though,like u rightly pointed out, he is seeking attention cos he could av left without informing anyone.

However, the moderators and the owner of the site should not take expressions like this with levity. The truth is Nairaland of today is a far cry from Nairaland of 6-10 years ago. Sometimes I wonder what would have become of the site if Instagram and Twitter were not in existence. Most of the topics that hit the FrontPage are mundane, while very educative ones are kept in the background- the reason for doing this is just to increase traffic. While this is not entirely out of place, moderation is the effect of wisdom. The quality of topics on FrontPage determines the kind of contributions which also reflects the personality of the Mods,owner of the site and even members.

So, back to the OP....I give u 'like'

Mimzyy:
Regardless of who is right or wrong, your wife should go down on her kneels and apologize to your mother for peace sake. Telling your mum to leave out-rightly will send a wrong signal and brew more issues/hatred. Since your mum came on a visit, she's gonna leave eventually. You can placate your wife later.

Spot on. God bless you with more wisdom to enjoy your marital life.

I hope he hasn't ran out of inspiration so soon?

The lyrics will change to ''MMM is GONE again o..MY salary is GONE AGAIN...MY houserent o is GONE again....''

Tomorrow now he will deny saying it. Or 'I was quoted out of context'.......but deep down he truly believes he doesnt 'owe them a dime'.

You people dont get it, its not like its a general public place. Its a pIZZa place for lawds sake. The only thing she was worried about was the ALL-WHITE presence. I see nothing to be bothered about as regards that.

It doesn't matter...just laugh it off joo...no big deal..I know u felt embarrassed because she made the statement in the presence of people who,till then, might have seen her as a highly exposed woman-u think such a statement degraded her and u too...But, looking at it from her angle she was right to av asked the question...so, no your wife did not mess up!!!
