Help meet or help mate?
This should be up to 40 characters s, right?

The king James translation says help "meet" meaning a help that is "suitable"

Smartcitizen:
See this one o!

So Yorubas are too friendly to Igbos I guess?

You must be a joker......

I want to give you an assignment, just pretend to be an Igbo man who wants to buy a property in any area in your region where you are not known and come back to tell us your experience.

I remember the horrible experience my younger brother had when he was building his house around Aja area Lagos State. He was so harassed by your omonile that I almost told him to forget about that building even when he has all the certified documentation from government of lands in LAGOS to build.

How many times have you people destroy and burn down Igbos shops in your region, but were they deterred?

Can you tell me how many average Yorubas has properties in the far north or inside Niger Delta?

Your people are not good in taking risk outside your region, so please don't come here to blame anyone for your lifestyle.

We have already chosen a life of determination in every part of Nigeria we choose to live not minding any nonsense thrown at us so don't come here to blame us when we succeed after taking all these risks.


👍👍

Pele o international risk taker 🤣🤣🤣
Your long turenchi further butress the fact that you guys have a lot of learning to do

Sharpsharp00123:
Like seriously I support Tinubu today but I must b sincere, shetima was highly complicit in d Chibok girl issue


They used that Chibok girl issue to rubbish Jonathan government but it was allowed because Jonathan was a weakling who never prepared for power but had it on a platter of gold.



Security report says the girls will b kidnapped if they write d exam but instead of Jonathan to act fast n close d School indefinitely he was relying on shetima who was d mastermind of the attack

They really did Jonathan dirty, it was too bad but he too was too weak

Tinubu can't take that n that's what they know n that's y they are giving him problem.

Jonathan was not weak but you are entitled to your opinion. That line is stale please

Softmirror:
But hope you can all see that it is mere fantastic illusion about all the noise that Peter Obi won the last Election otherwise why are you all begging Atiku to surrender his constitutional right for Obi?

If Peter Obi is confident and it was true he won the last election and Nigerians wanted him badly as president then and still want him today but was rigged out, Peter Obi should contest on his own, on the platform of Labour Party.

After all when Joe Biden won, we saw the kind of reaction in the United States by his supporters who allegeded electoral misconducts. And because Trump was confident that he would win again to prove that he actually won Joe but was rigged in the America election for President, Donald Trump recontested and won fair and square.The American people who voted for him but were robbed of their votes, voted for him again.

I don't understand why almost everyone of you is begging Atiku to surrender his candidacy or to merge together when you claim Peter Obi was rigged out to 3rd position. It doesn't project your beliefs and claims that he won even above Atiku let alone Tinubu except empty noise about a choice of illusion. EMPTY NOISE DON'T WIN ELECTIONS!

Nobody is begging Atiku really.

Atiku made a mistake in choosing his running mate last time which divided the southern vote. If Atiku had picked Obi he would havwon easily.

It will be 2023 all over again unless the two of them reach some form of compromise to support the same ticket. It's either Obi contest as vice president or Atiku can decide to nominate a running mate for Obi while playing the elder statesman.
However it pans out there must be no division among these two if not let's just start preparing to swear in Tinubu again

That's my reading of the situation though

Empiree:
I thought you guys said your Jesus didn't lift ⚔️ sword needless to use it to k!ll people?


But you are here celebrating b💣💣💣b to k!ll people.

In your religion you also believe the theory of "love your enemies"., "turn the other cheek"?. But you are here celebrating offensive wars by the people who don't believe in your Jesus. Dont you have any shame?.

B-2 is not new to the people in the region. The US has used it many times and nothing has changed. It is only matter of time before Iran or Houthis shut it down from the sky.

E pain this one! You think Israelis and Americans will fold their arms like northern Christians?

What a pity. If only you had an idea of how both men look down on black people.

Everything is not about us blacks

Pretty much every other race looks down on blacks? Why won't they look on a country that keep electing inept politicians that cannot develop their country or better the lives of their people?

i believe you must have been in this service to assert what exactly transpired with such surety as the OP doesn't say. Now, cajole cannot be force, but almost opposite. This is simple English vocabulary. Na you dey hand out reward na.

There is no vocabulary here at all....

This format by preachers is as old as Christianity itself. I have seen this in congregations more time than I can count. And yes, any money you give out of emotion because someone paint a picture of Baba ijebu lotto or threaten you with curses has no reward. You have received your reward already.

I will not join those who encourage such pastors. As every man purposed in his heart let him give....

Na dem....Zero federal character!

You guys don't understand foreign diplomacy.

People live in closed communities when they go abroad.
The Peckham, Sabon geri, Ama-hausa, even the Chinese have this Pink painted empire/estate around Berger.

Everyone still lives under the national law...and they pay tax as due...and you still have freedom to enter those places...but all lands there have been duly acquired from the government or ceded to those aboriginals by the government.

So what is your point. Is this happening in Ghana or UK. British people colonized Nigerians including yoribas so it's understandable if Yorubas have a neighbourhood there. Did Ghanians colonize Igbos or what is the relationship that would warrant someone declaring himself as Eze in Ghana

Mandatory military service without legalising gun is rubbish. No matter your military training you are almost helpless against an opponent who is armed to the teeth

Musk cannot be president

CoronaVirusPro:
Aregbesola bite the hands that fed him and lost relevance.

As it stands today, even Portable Olalomi commands more followers than he can do. He has now become a political luggage. ADC will tell him at the appropriate time that his relevance is not needed anymore.

He should retrace his steps if he wants to regain his relevance.

Na real coronavirus you be true true

According to agbado munchers....
Osinbajo traitor
Aregnesola traitor
Fayemi traitor
OGB traitor
Fashola traitor
Ambode traitor
Sanwo traitor in the making
Buknor traitor
Shetima traitor
All Afenifere elders traitors

You people like to label all the above people traitor because they refused to participate in your thin god's agenda to lead Nigeria Into the ditch

Don't you think your political thin god is the real traitor?

alphaconde:
Na kola be my problem.

Although i can stop if for a long time

Kola is high in caffeine so you might want to watch it. Moderation is the key

helinues:
Those that you listed above, which political position are they currently holding? Would you have expected recycled people in government which you would have still complain about

Lol you call them recycled? How many of Tinubu's appointees have not held a political position before? Many of them were part of buhari 8 years

Tinubu does not listen to any advise that is contrary to his own. The men mentioned above advised him to allow osinbajo run in 2023 and that's how they became his enemies

ibechris:
Because u were lied to that school is just to be employed but in reality it's never.




Generally speaking,if u are education can't take u out of poverty,u are a failure just accept it.

U wasted ur education because if Nwaboi as it is fondly called in Igbo land,can get out of poverty within years after serving one oga...then u should understand what I am saying.

The difference is that Nwaboi in ladipo market learnt a skill that can enable him setup a business within 5 years while his mate studying mechanical engineering in university does not know how to locate alternator in an engine bay even though he knows all the physics theories and laws that make it work.

If there are no white collar jobs who among these two possess the practical skill to setup an auto shop from scratch?

What we should be advocating for is practical Oriented course curriculum in our universities with emphasis on skill acquisition such that a graduate has both the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to become an entrepreneur

Iran military that went blind and dumb with their 19th century technology defence system from Russia and China.

Israel owned their skies from day one till today they have not recovered

Not easy in Nigeria

To eat.

1) Swallow - Oats , Green Plantain check if you can get chia seeds and add a little blended.
2) Vegetables and salad - This should be your main meal you can have your salad with egg. Salad with chicken.
3) Beans the different kinds eg, black eyed, oloyin etc
4) Drinks and fruits - Sour sop, cucumber, make your own hibiscus drink sweetened with dates or pineapple
5) Snack on nuts and edible seeds.
6) Herbs (try to get seeds and plant the ones you can) and Iru instead of maggi and little sea salt. Coriander, parsley, rosemary, garlic, ginger, turmeric etc
7) Go to vegetables is all of the usual suspects ( ugu, waterleaf, bitter leaf, Oha, moringa, Ewedu, Okro, tête, etc)
Meat protein - Fish, Chicken, Turkey, other birds, eggs, little cattle, goat, ram and bush meat.
9) Peppersoup with spices that you ground yourself and add little yam or sweet potatoes and lots of cabbage and carrots vegetables etc to fill you up.
10) Teas - guava leaf, moringa leaf, soursop leaf, hibiscus( zobo) can be served hot as tea.
11) Stews with vegetables.


Avoid if you can rice, boiled yam, Irish potatoes, semo, garri, processed meat (sausages) and soft sweet drinks, bread, spaghetti and indomie, seed oils.

When it comes particularly to carbs which turn to sugar, portion sizes and mixing with fibre is critical

If you can’t avoid then

A) Rice wash 3 times, mix with beans, eat with vegetables or okro and just have one serving spoon.
2) Yam. 1 slice of roasted yam with the back on and eat with vegetables.
3) Irish Potatoes yellow better than white and about 3 medium pieces with vegetables or eggs. Also sweet potato is much better.
4) Semo and garri best to substitute with swallow above ie oat and green plantain otherwise add beetroot or turmeric juice while turning.
5) Suasages substitute with fish or eggs
6) soft drinks and malt substitute with homemade hibiscus drink (zobo) and water. The ones bought are made with saccharine which is deadly for people with diabetes
7) Bread - make your own with lentils or beans look for recipes online. Alternatively not more than 2 slices.
Spaghetti and noodles very small sizes and mix with carrots, cabbage, eggs, salad onion, garlic, peas to fill up.
9) Most of the oil in the market called vegetable oil are seed oils and should be avoided. Most things can be cooked without oil if not use butter(not margarine) or lard from soft animal fat or olive oil and coconut oil. Better to use little palm oil than seed oils.

At the beginning it is difficult but once you set up and you have regular light then it gets better. The mixed herbs I blend fresh and freeze in ice blocks containers and the mixed vegetables I cut and wash and also freeze in portions.

We all have cheat days maybe once a week you just eat a small portion of something you like I do.

Also rest and walks. Intermittent fasting and limiting your food to 2 times a day will also help. I eat at about 10am to 12pm and again between 4pm to 6pm.

To come back and complete

Thanks for this comprehensive advice.

Just to add that people who are mindful of their health long-term need to cut down on the regular carb-heavy naija food even if they don't presently have type 2 diabetes

babtoundey:
This guy and unnecessary noise. He could actually do this without causing any commotion. But, no, he does it to for clout and and wiuldn't have his flower if he doesn't present himself as a fighter/activist/hero.

The bottom line is, he's a social nuisance.

Nigeria's problem does not understand queens English unfortunately.

This is the only language they understand. How can VIO use a bus to block the road in broad daylight without any emergency situation in the area? A normal human being will not do that

Image123:
Was she forced? No. She gave out of the abundance she has, no problem. It should be between her and God, not comparison.

2Co 9:7 KJV Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Giving doesn't buy God's blessings, but giving is a seed. It shall be given unto you in good measure.

Fun fact is that the girl that seems to be lamenting here may be one of the people God uses and may still use to replenish the woman in multiple folds. i remember the testimony of the atheist that God sent to bless a poor family.

Yes she was forced. I don't know when Christians will start seeing these money Preachers for what they really are.

Any money you give out of pastor cajoling you has no reward. As every man purpose in his heart let him give, not our of compulsion or persuasion from anybody.

Avedonn:
What is wrong with that? Not all Fulani people are wicked. If you’re fortunate enough to meet the kind ones, they might even gift you fresh milk as a gesture of goodwill.

The real issue lies in our tendency to stereotype all Fulani as evil because of the atrocities committed by a few, and this generalization is not only unfair but also ignore the peaceful coexistence of Fulani communities in other parts of West and Central Africa.

Do you know that Fulani constitute a significant population in countries like Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mauritania? Yet, you rarely hear about ethnic conflicts involving them in these regions.

The Fulani problem appears to be peculiar to Nigeria, and this raises an important question Why is Nigeria different The root of the crisis is due to two major issues:

1. Cattle Rustling in Northern Nigeria In states like Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi, the conflict began with Hausa cattle rustlers targeting Fulani herdsmen. This led to a cycle of retaliation, with the Fulani pursuing vengeance against not only the rustlers but also entire communities.

2. Farmers Herders Clashes in Central and Eastern Nigeria. For instance, In Benue, Taraba, and parts of Eastern Nigeria, the problem is different. Here, Fulani cattle often destroy farmers crops, leading to confrontations. When farmers retaliate by harming the cattle or even the herders the Fulani respond with brutal force and aspect of the Fulani is their long memory for grievances; they do not forgive easily and will retaliate no matter how much time has passed.

Sometimes, the locals may have even forgotten the initial offense, but the Fulani will return to settle the score.

I was also told that in the past, if Fulani cattle damaged a farmer’s crops, the victim could report the issue to the Fulani leader Ardo who would ensure fair compensation. This has helped maintain peace before things escalated into the violence we see today.

True, some Fulani groups have indeed been involved in violent acts, but it is important to avoid blanket judgments.

I think knowing the causes rather than outright condemnation of the entire Fulani ethic group is the first step toward finding lasting solutions to the crisis between the locals and Fulanis in some parts of the country.

Lol don't be naive. This is how it started in Benue a long time ago. This is 21st century. Ask yourself why the owners of these cows cannot buy land, build a ranch and pay tax to government?

Anyway keep writing sweet grammar. You will find out few years from now

SmallmebigGod:
Obviously, there is a lot of distrust in government but this should be a nice reform, we need more independent people to review it and tell us how it affect common man both positively or negatively

This is effectively a net tax increase on everyone earning above 1m a year - which is many Nigerian workers in private and public sector.

Forget the sugar coated language

mynd1:
Ok sorry for mis judging you. Iranians are bold enough to tell the reality of the attacks from Israel but Israelist hide and censored 80% of them getting hit... I am happy because they are receiving what Gaza received from them....

You have it in reverse. Internet is restricted in Iran so you can't see much unlike Israel where citizens can record with their phones and post on YouTube

malali:
They’re not just sowing chaos; they’re laying siege to your presidency, trying to hold it hostage with insecurity.

Tinubu, now is the time to reveal the grand strategist within. This is your moment to orchestrate the unexpected, to rewrite the rules of engagement.

You’ve mastered defense. But great leaders know when to shift the board and go on the offensive, not brazenly, but with finesse. Use layered proxies: third-party actors, invisible enforcers, and regional influencers to reshape the narrative and tilt the battlefield.

Play it brilliantly, they’ll beg you to mediate, not knowing you authored the script from page one.

Let us know when you finish waxing lyrical

A late government offial confessed that APC brought these herdsmen 10 years ago but couldn't control them. APC government will not do jack. The person you are calling to act is part of APC but they are not ready to tell the truth

Babangidapikin:
I don't think Oga Shetimma is that ambitious, he is a farmer and he is contented with life ...but he also needs to be a major influencer in the North, not Small Oga Seyi trying to force his way to be an influencer. If Oga Shetimma is doing and pressing the right buttons , Small Oga Seyi won't be focusing on the North all the time ignoring his own people.

The truth is that position it vice president is practically limited to how much the president projects the vice president.

Osinbajo was very visible during Buhari first term because buhari delegated so much responsibility to him to the extent that he fired the NSA when he was acting president. The north became afraid of Odinbajo influence and probably warmed Buhari not to handover to him again when out of the country.

I have not seen any concrete assignments relegated to shetima by Tinubu. Instead Seyi who is not an elected official is the one flying presidential jet and attending function.

His absence from the limelight speaks volumes of you understand what I mean. They are not in cordial terms and it's very glaring in the last two years

benuejosh:
The guys from he South East are responsible for killing themselves and that has always been my stand. The support they gave to those who started killing policeman and destroying road blocks, to ESN and other bodies. But you see this killings they talk about in Benue, a lot is in it. The urge to hurriedly run and blame the sitting president is what I don't always like. Before now, they all said it was Buhari who was aiding his brothers to do crime, now it is Tinubu that is to be blamed. That's the human problem with we Nigerians. This problem needs to be checked first with our traditional rulers and the attitude of the governor.

The president is ultimately responsible.
During Jonathan APC did not have a problem blaming bokoharam on him. What practical steps has the president taken to stop killing by Fulani herdsmen in Benue despite benue being an APC state? There are military formations in Benue how many soldiers have been deployed to stop this senseless killings? Why is human life so valueless to politicians?

Babangidapikin:
Does it look like Oga Shetimma is trying to outshine him, instead it is Oga Wike that is courting the diplomatic circles and doing his best to perform exceptionally at the FCT ...if it's about him not wanting people to outshine him, he would have deflated Oga Wike's balloon .. Rather he wants you to out perform the Mandate he gives to you, when the interior minister was performing he didn't deflate his balloon. The more everyone perform, the better he receive positive accolades.. that's why I am expecting the Oga in Blue Ocean to out perform, abi does he want to say he doesn't have all the support.

Lol He is not done using Woke... That one is feeling like the happening guy in town right now. Shetima did more than Wike is doing right now. Remember when Shetima called a sitting vice president ice cream seller? 🤣🤣

Well who is the ice cream seller now? Shetima is also ambitious that's why I know they can never get along.

If you are ambitious you cannot last around Tinubu. Wike is still useful to Tinubu for now so he should enjoy while it lasts

Babangidapikin:
Oga Shetimma needs to be active, not just doing meetings .. Politics is about relevance to people and communities... Jagaban always want people smarter than him around, so he can enjoy the accolades. But you are hiding in the background. Although I understand you are coming from a place of pain , where suicide bombing keeps you in a shell , and your Deputy Governor dying.. All this can make one see life differently and ask if it's worth it . But it is a new Dawn.

Tinubu is not the god that you people try to paint him and I'm happy that the entire nation will understand soon.

Tinubu never wants anybody that will outshine him or share the limelight. Once your influence of his aid is getting noticed, Tinubu will try to silence it.

He had three deputy governors in Lagos, always fighting them. He fought Fashola, fought Ambode, currently fighting Sanwo.... So shetima cannot be an exception.

Where is Fashola, Ambode, Aregnesola, Fayemi, Osinbajo, Gbenga Daniel etc who were solid followers of Tinubu before now?

Tinubu does not even need any opposition. He will single handedly unravel APC before end of 2026 due to his greed for power and belief that money can solve everything.

You should be settling with 27–33-year-olds. those ones are wiser a bit

This is funny but I read this like advice for buying a Tokunbo car 😅😅

Ken4Christ:
You are a baby Christian. Only a child argues this way. If tithing was only a spoil from war, why did Jacob vow to give to God a tenth of all his increase? Genesis 28:22

Jacob vowed...at least we can agree that it was a vow which depends on wether God answers him or not. "God if you do this for me, then I will give a tenth to you". Is that what your pastors preach today? If yes then you will only give tithes when God answers specific requests else you will not!

I thank God that I'm a baby Christian because even jesus said you cannot enter into God's kingdom unless you become like one of these little children. Children have open minds and are ready to learn new truth rather insisting on their own errors.

You that is an elder in faith can go on preaching your gospel of tithing. I have done my own part to educate you and all that are reading this.

The way to the father is to be genuinely saved, live a righteous life. True and pure religion is to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.
Giving is not legalistic or compulsion to a genuine believer in Christ. You are either saved by the law or by grace. You cannot claim that all other laws have been nullified except the one that involves collecting a percentage from the congregation.

No matter how far gone you are in an erroneous teaching, it is not too late to turn back when you discover the truth and I pray you will someday.

Shalom sir!
