I guess d guy is just cooking moonlight stories up cos his profile pix says it all. Very disgusting.

I just saw the profile picture.

I believe that the father is not doing enough.

Perhaps castration should be a good start.

Every sympathy I had is now out of the window.

The guy is very irresponsible. Dads know best.

I think you are an.irresponsible and disgusting human being from the way you presented yourself a la profile picture.

Some things we learned today.

Nigeria Did not Burn Because Of Kanu.

He does not have hair in the middle of his head.

He is completely on his own.

No man has ever won a fight with any Government in the World.

He is suddenly mature as for the first time, he kept his mouth shut in the court.

The British Government and the Ibo Nation have washed their hands, off him and he is regretting.

/
Do I support Kanu? No.
Do I respect him? Yes!
Why?
He has a conviction and is fighting for what he believes in. If he dies in the struggle, people would know his stand.

But you will rather die like a chicken than fight for anything because you have no faith in your capabilities.
As a coward, it is easier to run to a church and call on God to come down from heaven to better your life instead of being proactive.

You can disparage Kanu all you like. But take a closer look...that's a real man and what men used to be. Not the sissified metrosexuals like you.

LOL.

If the Federal government is serious and honest, a good start will be to have Julius Berger commence work on Enugu-Osha expressway as a matter of urgency. Ndi Igbo had so many similar meetings/jamboree during 8yrs,10yrs of OBJ and GEJ respectively. Yet nothing concrete came out of it. Federal roads are in shambles. No 2nd Niger bridge. I won't be surprised if brown envelopes were passed around to ensure that the self-annointed leaders maintain taciturn approach to the plight of ndi Igbo in the country.

Then you think about it. How do one curry favour from a President that ndi Igbo roundly despised during the elections? Just like Biafra, ndi Igbo lost the war (this time electorally) and will continue to bear the full consequences.

Hausa people have it good in terms of Federal presence. They lost to GEJ but GEJ developed the North and neglected his primary constituency. He was busy building almajiri schools while Otueke has no drinkable water supply. Now an Hausa man is back to further the Northern agenda. GEJ's stint in Aso Rock was a once in a lifetime opportunity. But he blew it big time. If anyone thinks the North is going to honour the N-S rotation of the Presidency, good luck. The Hausa clans give a block vote. Yoruba voters are like chameleons. Igbo voters follow the highest bidder. So factoring in all these variables, the Presidency remains in the North until something similar to Yar'Adua's saga plays out again.

It shall be well. No! It won't.

The North wanted sharia by all means. OBJ dashed them sharia. Sharia breeds extremism and Boko Haram was born. Like they say, be careful what you wish for.

They should enjoy their sharia and " religion of peace"(wink wink)

Kyase:
The paramount ruler and Obi of Onitsha in Anambra State, Igwe Alfred Achebe, has condemned the widespread protests by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who are calling for the separation ofthe entire south-east regionfrom Nigeria.The condemnation came on the heels of agitations and protests for Biafra nation across parts of the country, especially as the protesters clamoured for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who had been in detention since October.Speaking in an interview shortly after his inauguration as the Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, IgweAchebe told the protesters to shelve the idea of secession from the rest of Nigeria.He said that such agitation would only amount to violating the constitution ofthe country and the principles of democracy.The traditional ruler reminded the pro Biafra agitators of the inherent dangers involved in their action, emphasising that Nigeria remained a united and indivisible country irrespective of the numerous challenges.He urged them to channel all their grievances to their elected representatives in the National Assembly for consideration, rather than embarking on violent protests that could result into breakdown of law and order in the region.- TodayNG

It is difficult to take the pro-Biafrans seriously.

What are they protesting? Dilapidated infrastructure or lack of Federal presence in the SE?

If OBJ's 8 years and GEJ's 10 years could not fix SE roads and the thorny 2nd River Niger bridge, then it is id.iotic to assume
that 6 months of PMB will use a magic wand to perform wonders. Alternating between recumbency and militancy will not solve the problem.
They must embrace and negotiate with the center to achieve the desired results. But it is regrettable to note that the few that have
access to the Presidency are only in it for egoistic and pecuniary reasons.

The truth is: Biafra is not going to happen soon, if at all. All the hoi polloi endangering their lives because of it are just ignorant.

CSTR2:
And you suddenly believe buhari presidency makes all the difference?
Buhari presidency of at most eight years is definitely not the end. There is nothing wrong in despising a politician.
The north hated jonathan afterall and voted him out.
Igbos too will survive buhari's presidency

/
When your only option in a democracy is "survival", then something is inherently wrong. Continue surviving: 8years of 1BB + 4years of Abacha + 8 years of OBJ + 10years of GEJ + 8 years of PMB = 38 years on survival. And you are still comfortable on survival mode? SMH. That's one of the reason why it is difficult to empathize with Nigerians when things get rough.

Nigeria is not about GEJ and PMB. In all indices, none of these two deserves to be a president. A clueless goon vs. Senile old man. Are these the only options the most educated black nation can offer?

It proves one thing...

Africans are closer to baboons than humans.
We celebrate things that real humans take for granted. Things like electricity(up NEPA!), good roads, clean water and not the least, conceding a lost election.

I really want to read from the folks who honestly believe that Blacks are not monkeys.

All these Igbo folks prancing around for GEJ, SE roads and 2nd River Niger bridge after eight years of GEJ tell you how much he cared about your sorry behinds. Supporting a failure to alienate the center will only make matters worse. And if your hope is Biafra, it ain't gonna happen.

Igbo people and Nigeria politics is like water and oil. Even US negotiates with her mortal enemies (eg. Iran) to protect US interests in the region. It is not about right, wrong, love or hate people! It is about interests. But this is one aspect of politics that Igbo people failed to understand. In political considerations, nobody gives a flying fvck about sentiment.

Some of them will come online to say that Muslims are not terrorists.

They are all terrorists.

The ones you see around preaching peace are just deceiving the people to afford them the opportunity for surprise attack.

None of the attackers is on the most wanted list. They are regular folks until their imams call them to duty.
Be wary of Muslims around you. Keep an eye on them. They are not friends.

Hi nairalanders,

A brother, who is currently working with a company in ibadan and also stays in ibadan, has got himself in a condition which he needs nairalanders to be of help.

The issue is;

where he's working nw, he's been paid something above 80k sha which is obviously not the worth of the job and his kind of person cuz he has his ph.D. But because of the situation in the country, he decided to stick to the job till he gets another one.
His hustle paid off last week friday when he got another job in Lagos and the pay is above 130k with other monthly allowances. According to him, he loves his current job as it's less stressful and makes him closer to his family. He considers Lagos as a place that is very stressful and will probably cause him to relocate. But the pay is higher.

Now, he's thinking of threatening his current boss with his new job nd pay, maybe the boss might increase his salary and beg him to stay. He is staying with his younger brother in one of the houses his father built before he died. So he doesnt pay house rent with his salary. All that will change when he get to Lagos.

What he wants Nairalanders to do for him is to advice him whether;

-to go for the new job since the pay is high and try to get used to Lagos situation and since he is a ph.D holder, he might higher opportunities from there.

-to stay and continue with his current job since his expenditures are far low.

-to threaten his boss to increase his salary. What if the boss dismisses him? He might end up being in where his mind doesn't.





Thanks in advance.

Why would he threaten his boss when he can always negotiate?

Buhari vs. GEJ: Who deserves to be the President?

None.

But then, if you don't play the lottery, don't expect to win.

Nigeria deserves a young and vibrant leader. Buhari is too old to be the President. The closest we get to a young President in the person of GEJ turned out to be a train wreck.

Where do Nigerians go from here? No where. Just live your life , die, be buried and forgotten. If you expect Nigeria to reach some greatness, you may have to wait till eternity because it ain't gonna happen.

noooo you cannot appear before the FEC unsummoned who go even allow him near the presidential villa. Moreover the FEC is an APC den, its just like advising an antelope to appear before a council of lions and lionesses in the lion's pride, we all know what will be the outcome. but wait a minute the committee's report shows that he was appointed in March when he said June 22, 2012. what is even this kind of committee that don't know their own term of reference. Nigeria politics and mediocrity.

please I expect you to reason better if he forged reciepts without delivery he should be charged but I am yet to see a suit to that effect and its not every military armor that is open to public knowledge.

He is not being audited by the public.

So as stated, he should show the relevant authorities what he spent the fund on. Simple.

He can easily take his files to the FEC meetings to prove his innocence.

Simple solution: Show the equipment!

Corruption is grossly embedded in acknowledgment without receipt.

Fuel importers' allocations are acknowledged and paid for with no fuel delivered.

Stella Odua acknowledged the receipt, paid for the bullet-proof BMWs that couldn't be located.

So Mr. Dasuki should show the pieces of equipment and armaments he procured before he could be exonerated.
I know that Alpha jets cannot disappear in thin air.

okomogo:
Yet people will blame the president for all these. But I still think there's something fishy about this Dasuki’s case. While the attention on Dasuki since baba took over office. I'm not saying the allegations are not true but something does not just add up to the way Buhari is following up this man. I bet they are not telling us the real story.

/
The buck stops at the Presidency. GEJ is an im be.cile and it will be foolhardy to exculpate him from this saga. He was the Commander-in Chief.

Btw, Dasuki placed Buhari under house arrest after he was ousted by IBB through military coup back in the 80s.

There you have it.

Take each disappointment from your previous interview as a blessing because you must have lots of lessons as to why you weren't successful.

boost ur confidence level by doing a pre-interview.
Brain storm for possible questions and have the best answer.

To be successful in an interview requires lots of hard work.

You don't just snap ur fingers and get positive response.

Your family is reaping the fruit of bad parenting.

The signs were there but you chose to ignore it.

The respect is lost already. Too late.

Your sister got pregnant at 16 and your parents let the boy walk free like nothing happened. Your parents failed your sister and your family. She is not a consenting "adult".

dovetark:
We've dated officially for over 3 years, I have to admit she's a nice girl when her heart is in it, but certain events have occurred which has left a once blissful relationship sour. Prior to the series of events that have brought us to this point, I used to feel like a superhuman with her in my life (for real I could do anything I set my mind to do and succeed), but all that has changed... Life happened!!! We've both been hit by series of events that have adjusted our perspective on how we view life which has undoubtedly affected us. Since the beginning of this year, we've been on a free fall with our emotions. We've not had intense quarrels neither have we had intense passion being together of late (I admit, they both spice up a relationship) and we have grossly neglected each others feelings. We both played our roles in getting to where we are now, I feel the door closing in fast on us and I can't stand this flip-flop of emotions involved.

We've tried taking a break and that didn't work, I have suggested severally that we just remain friends and end the relationship but I really don't know why she doesn't agree to that. We can't just stand each others bullshit anymore but still a part of us wants it to go back to how it used to be I guess that's the reason we've been hanging on.

I am not here to cry over spilled milk, rather, I am here to seek advice on how I would successful end this relationship without it having profound effects on my psychology and emotions while maintaining optimum productivity as an individual. Please your comments are needed and appreciated. Thank you Nairaland.

Please don't just read, I need your suggestions.

Just like chemicals used to preserve corpses in the mortuary, prepackaged foods have chemicals used to preserve them. Why do you think kidney problems and cancer have become the new kids on the block? Fresh fruits, food and vegetables will not hurt. Of course one thing must kill a man. But don't kill yourself.

Chumani:
Instant “ramen” noodles are a massively popular
staple – especially in the collegiate population.
While genuine ramen noodles made from flour
and without additives are not cause for serious
concern, the cheap instant noodles are a total
additive-fest. People who live on campus and
find it hard to budget their money often end up
surviving on instant noodles several days a week.
In Asia, the popularity and convenience of
instant noodles is even bigger; it’s a quick,
cheap, and easy to way to ease your hunger –
but how do instant noodles affect your health?

#1 Instant Noodles Are Extremely High In
Sodium
Instant noodles are extremely high in sodium –
one packet containing 1875mg – more than the
entire RDA of 1500mg. Sodium is one of the
leading causes of both hypertension (high blood
pressure) and kidney dysfunction. How? Sodium
causes a build-up of fluid in the body, raising
blood pressure which destroys the delicate
vessels that supply the kidneys with blood. This
is the reason why people with kidney problems
are strongly advised to avoid preserved food
items and too much salt in their diet.

#2 Instant Noodles Are Loaded With MSG
MSG is a specific kind of sodium found in most
preserved food items like instant noodles and
canned food. MSG intake has been linked to an
increased risk for cancer and hypersensitivity
reactions like migraines, flushing, and chest pain.
While the FDA has officially labeled MSG as
generally safe, it remains a highly controversial
ingredient. Because of these reports of hypersensitivity and a potential risk for cancer,
they require all food items to list MSG as an
ingredient if it was used in any way to make the
product.

#3 Preservatives Affect Nutrition Absorption In
The Body because instant noodles have extremely high levels of preservatives, they can also affect the
way our bodies absorb nutrients. The stomach
and intestines are where nutrition absorption
takes place and are home to good bacteria that
aids in digestion. Preservatives harm these good
bacteria, lowering their numbers (and increasing
the number of bad bacteria!) and affecting our
bodies’ ability to absorb nutrients from food.
This can cause problems like nutrient deficiency
and long-term absorption problems.

#4 Instant Noodles Contain Antifreeze
Yes, they really do. While instant noodles have
your typical preservatives like MSG, they also
have lesser known ingredients that will have you
raising your eyebrow. Propylene glycol – a
colorless liquid – is a popular antifreeze because
of its ability to absorb water. It also happens to
be used to preserve the texture of instant
noodles as well, prolonging their shelf life. A
2004 study also linked propylene glycol in take
with an increased risk for liver cancer.

#5 Instant Noodles Have Been Linked With
Plasticizer Contamination
Plasticizers are additives that increase the flexibility of non-food items. However, back in 2011 and 2012, Chinese instant noodles (including certain brains that are exported to th US) were found to be contaminated with toxic levels of plasticizers. When this substance is ingested, it damages the digestive tract and
increases a person’s risk for gastrointestinal and
hepatic cancer.

#6 Instant Noodles Often Contain A Cocktail Of
Unhealthy Ingredients.
Instant noodles and their packet sauces
commonly contain canola oil, corn syrup and
Tertiary Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) – a highly
controversial preservative that is also added to
perfumes, lacquers, and biodiesel!

The high sodium content alone should be enough deterrent.

Nice analysis!

The best gift you can give to yourself and loved ones is taking them to a clinic for blood pressure check. High BP is a silent killer. It is very asymptomatic. I believe that a lot of unresolved deaths can be attributed to it and not the " uncle in the village" conspiracy theory.
