They Should Extend It To Nairaland...It seems Seu.n Does Not Have The Capacity To Rehabilitate Them.

My sister please tell him, especially that DrinkLimca dude that keeps writing nonsense and derogatory comments.
1. This forum has moderators and an owner, they can ban him. Seun cleverly put the disclaimer at the end of the page to avoid and evade law suits by callous people. Yes I said it callous.
2. There is freedom of speech but not freedom of defamation or freedom to make lewd, derogatory comments.
3. Who am I to judge? Yes this is what is killing the society faster than cancer. Everyone claims to have the right to say or do and undo what they like and nobody can say and do anything because we have rights. Your right ends where another person's rights start. You do not have the right to be callous, lawless, immoral, lewd or abusive.
4. There are rules to life, to games, to schooling and even eating. How can you observe rules in football, ludo or chess and question rules to life? 
5. In life whether Africa or Asia or America there is the unwritten bundle of rules on etiquette, morality, finesse and personal space.
6. Seun and co, no one be it nwa whoever or drink whatever should have the right or access to mess up and desecrate this forum because it's public and they have data and a device!
7. Truly if we reasonable people, yes you and I who agree that what I am stating is a fact should leave nairaland.com Seun and co would not be happy, no more traffic, no more whatever else he and co are benefiting. The presence of people always dictate the pace of things (as an aside that's why Nigeria no dey progress, we are not standing end masses in unity against the poor state of the nation). Why have we complained about many members of this forum and how they act and comment and nothing is done? They may change their monikers or have multiple accounts but that's not a problem. Ban them all. Many people have been banned at one time or the other, no one was murdered or committed suicide. Seun is delicate with some people and some statements and even threads, but he does nothing about strange people like Nwa and Drink-whatever who irritate and tear out people’s eyes with gory and vulgar comments.

People have become so unloving, insensitive and disrespectful and it's creeping out of virtual social media and entering the physical society. It's not who we are. We are people of culture, compassion, sense and human reasoning.

This man is finally mad

A Nigerian airplane just brought back some guys from Libya, what else do you want Fg to do.

For FFK is to better to remain quiet and be assumed to be mad than to talk and remove all doubt about your madness.

No sir it's not a Nigerian plane, look at the inscription on the plane it's Arabic

I think it's high traditional rulers and religious and elder statesmen from those groups and regions- Edo, Igbo and Yoruba should also speak up like the way the Sultan and others do for their people. Jonathan never condoned with ...

What language do you think all these people will be speaking at this meeting?
Hmm, we have Yoruba man, Efik man, Ibibio man, Hausa man, Ikwerre man, Igbo man...

So i guess English!

I am not a fan of English (i rejected studying it as a course when I could not get my desired course in my desired university at my desired time)
I have never been to England
I do not pledge loyalty to the queen
Nor do i claim allegiance to colonialism or neo colonialism

But see now, they cannot speak Yoruba here now
Can they speak Igbo here
Or can they converse in Hausa
Even pidgin they no go fit

Why then do i get disturbed and attacked when I travel to any part of Nigeria and can't speak their language?

The worst places are places with the 3 dominant languages in Nigeria.
It irks and irritates me.
We who do not belong to any of the 3 are not minority or sub human or sub Nigerian now
I am trying but I don't know if I have the gift of languages, why do people show great hostility and lack of hospitality in those places with the 3 largely spoken languages in Nigeria?

I ask those who are Yoruba that serve or get transferred to the East if they learnt Igbo and they can even spit at the idea.
I ask Hausa/Fulani in the West if they can speak Yoruba and they turn their faces in disgust at the question.
I ask the Igbos who stay in the West (and who may understand Yoruba a little) why they don't speak Yoruba and they curse and swear and quarrel.

I give up.
When people ask me about my tribe, I say I am a Nigerian. If that does not suffice, walk away permanently.

Don't be deceived majority of Nigerians do not believe in one Nigeria and it's getting worse.
Even among those who inter marry it is chaotic i tell you.

# think

Look for the old song, Lingua franca by Evi Edna Ogoli, you will stop asking the unnecessary question of, where are you from? Do you understand so so so language

Thank God for His mercies over my life and those of my family members.
I have cause to travel often.
Sometimes my trips cut across the country in short periods.
Just on another thread I wondered at the awesomeness of God in my life when I passed Asa dam road in Ilorin only to hear of a man plunging into the river.

Now i am reading about a bus accident on road i ply often Ondo/Ore!

I pray God to comfort the family, grant speedy recovery to the son and mercy on the late DPO.
God help me and protect me in all my trips, going out and coming in, in Jesus name, amen.

Psalm 91:16 is my prayer for everyone

The Coal City state- one of my own

I give hand to all the electorates oh

You na wehdone

road i passed Saturday!
You see how we take things for granted?
Lord God Almighty i stand in awe of You.
I thank You continually for always protecting and helping me in Your mercy, amen.

Let's do well to watch that last clip
She said she will continue on her own youtube channel and she's calling on everyone who likes her show and wants her to continue to sponsor it even with $2 per month.
She is based in New York and really the show requires finance for research, recording and editing.

Now addressing some comments above,
1. She was not seeking popularity or recognition in the show but was being a political and social activist. Her ideals go beyond her person. People like her do not limit their aims to themselves but seek to sow such good seeds in what they advocate for in like minds and potential minds.
2. Mugabe ought to be challenged. It's good to respect people whether young or old. But as a journalist you have only a few seconds to say what you have to before the politician walks away or other journalists ask their questions. Mugabe had no right to be offended. It's typical of Africa to use age and respect to cover the issues on the table.
3. From her programmes i have come to the awareness that the issue of dictatorship within democratic governments in Africa is rampant and nauseating and should and must be challenged. Such can be done by sensitization, writing, speaking out, etc. This she has done.
4. She talks too much as some said is probably because unlike Dr damages she has a shorter time, too much information and passion for her job. Go and ask those your university dons who could teach straight 4 hours impacting knowledge.

Ok this is it for now.
I will miss her show and i hope I can follow her on her youtube channel.
Sahara is trying. Just like all those in Aso Rock leaking memos
If not how we for dey know many revelations wey we dey get every week

PS
Her show inspired me in charity

potbelly:
1.declaring public holiday because buhari came back
2.unpaid salaries
3. using public funds to do adverts to counter claims of unpaid salaries instead of paying salaries
4. blocking a street entrance and converting it to your personal entrance to his own apartment....

Kogi people una don enter one chance...

This your last point makes me weep in my mind.
Last year going to Keffi we were driving confidently when we hit that road, public road oh, governor turn am to personal road to im house. We saw the police and did not even bother telling them anything. We just turned and took the other road.

Kogi shares border with over 7 states, the highest in the country if I am not mistaken. I have friends from different parts of Kogi and they are all cool, calm, intelligent and hardworking people. Kogi has the most natural resources second to Benue if not 1st i suppose.

I don't know if you can travel to north, south, east or west (with exceptions to other routes such as Jebba and Nsukka) without going through any part of Kogi.

What a mess we have in Nigeria.
How did we get here?
Many of us want to stay in Nigeria but things are not getting better generally.
Many people or a couple of people have made it well for themselves in terms of employment, family and personal infrastructure like owning boreholes, generators, and other alternatives to what government ought to provide.

But when you move around what do you see and hear? Unpaid salaries, insecurities, joblessness, poor educational facilities, dilapidated health centres, corrupt leaders, political lies, poor foreign diplomacy, religious bigotry, tribal wars, silly entertainment trends, sickening stories of sexual immorality, choices, fashion, music, relationships and money.

We need help oh.
No man, no human, no system or structure can help us ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD BY THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN HELP US.

Any way as for me, it's long I knew this world is not my home.
Not Nigeria, USA, Qatar, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, or where now, really where?

In the minds of those responsible they have given classroom but must not give chairs and tables.
Maybe they want the principal and parents to buy them.
Sad

After watching her review on keeping it real with Adeola and her song for the site tight president in Togo abi Benin i no dey consider her matter again

I was late and I am sorry.
God help me and forgive me

I read this and I almost fell off my seat

But sadly I'm in a bus so i can't get space to fall

Buhari, Buhari, Buhari

I wish I could have kept my word concerning Buhari

There was a country

Practising good makes perfect good not bad

There are many irresponsible adults who never put off childishness.

Sadly childhood goes hand in hand with foolishness.

So we see babies putting everything in their mouths.

We see toddlers asking a million questions.

We see young children dismantling electronics, toys and things to know what's inside.

But if an adult still puts sand in his mouth as food, that one is no longer foolishness but madness.

A parent has a duty to guide the child in the way he should go so the child will be wise.

God be with devoted parents.

#sacrifice

Cladez:
When most if not all the parents still do the things you mentioned above how would they now train their children.
Its like holding a stick of cigarette and telling another person not to smoke.

While growing up i was told by someone who smokes not to smoke.
I have never smoked.
Is it because of that advice?
Tell me?
But what I know is that, our decisions are for our own good.
So even a father tells his son to down 10 mugs of beer, if he likes, let him do because he is obeying his father.
But it is his liver and kidneys that will bear the burden.
The resistance to sickness and consequences differ in every man.
Mr. A smoking, drinking and clubbing is no reason that trend won't kill Mr B if he follows suit.

There was a country
I don't know when it started
When it enjoyed
When it declined,
And
When it ended

This is unnecessary and deplorable.
Selling in this market and buying.

They need to visit markets in other parts

DJperdurabo:
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone.

Last I checked, Coca-Cola has a CEO, P&G has a CEO, Chevron, Shell, Agip, Diamler-Mercedes, Toyota, Sony music, Unilever etc all have CEOs. Never minding how much they are paid, they are all "employees" subject to being FIRED by the BOD or Shareholders tomorrow.

Now OP tell me, are these fellows "powerful and successful" or not?

Let's look at it this way,
These CEOs are powerful and successful.
I've worked in a place were i saw successful and powerful people cow to the overall owner, as you rightly said because they are employees.
Now i am on my own, I see myself as free, not as rich as they are for now, but free, free from being fired
But seriously,
Even CEOs need people to work for them if not they'd lose their success and power.
If we are all business owners we would not build anything among other things.
We need workers, we work for others and others work for us.

Volunteers are not in full employment
Public and civil servants work for others
Business owners are employers of labour

NairalandCS:
Don't worry op, I'm Already frying.

Hilarious

For those of us who live in Calabar or have visited, please when you go to Tropicana, visit the museum behind, it's just N200 and it's so worth it. If you are fortunate, you may be given me a movie preview before the tour by a learned curator. What you will see will slap you back to reality. Although we thank God we were not born in that generation, HUMAN BEINGS were
For more info also take a boat ride to Twins Ialand or Benin museum or the one in Badagry
