₦airaland Forum

Those people primitively shouting Igbo blablabla conveniently ignored the glaring fact that these brilliant children achieved the feat as NIGERIANS and were awarded the medals as same. Nobody outside the shores of the country gives a flying fxxck about your ethnicity. When you win, you win as a Nigerian and when you mess up, you are held accountable as a Nigerian. All this rubbish tribalism is why countries like South Africa no longer respect us because how can they, when we don't even respect ourselves?

Thus, behold, the dawn of the Olodo Uprising.

It is indeed very sad.

And some vapid people are proud of being tagged olodo.

Everything is now content on social media. No more innovation or creativity. Every brain fart somehow manages to find its way to our consciousness because unprofessional bloggers are hungry for clicks

So many children on nairaland these days. Back in the days, you will see mature and constructive inputs.

Brah, women are focused on achievements these days. Fulls making someone that's 31 seem like she's 60. Only boys talk like that. New studies even show that men should be as wary, as quality of sperm reduce as they get older.

Brah, the signs are there. In her circles, there are many guys that are more suitable. Just cos someone wants to get married doesn't mean they should settle for someone that lacks focus or doesnt wanna upgrade himself. As a man, I get irritated with directionless women, talkless of being a woman and carrying the weight of the home.

She should not start what she can finish. A man with vision and dreams that isnt well off isnt a problem. But how will a man leave what's giving him money to go run errands? He cant think? Cant tell his mom he will do it later?

What happens when they get married? He would still tell her she's trying to change him, and she saw him the way he was. Motivating him to greatness will be termed nagging.

If I was a woman, I rather get a sperm donor, focus on my career and be happy, than be married to many men these days, that aren't worthy of being called men.

Being a man isnt a title, it's about the ability to lead, command the respect of your wife, not by coercion, but by actions.
No one can follow who isn't more knowledge than them, or they struggle to respect.

This is Africa, men are still providers and supposed to lead. If he cant do that, he's still a boy.

Age is irrelevant. Better to be married to a 45 year old lady that suits your vision and gives you peace, than a 25 year old that still has her eyes outside and leaves you restless, all in the name of marrying young.

Guys on nairaland are super embarrassing. Lots of learning to do. 15 years or so ago, you wouldn't see these comments calling a 31 year old, old. Funny enough, many of these dudes at 35, haven't achieved what this lady has achieved when she was 27.

Girls, dont be afraid to have standards. Stick to it and focus on your personal growth.

There are still fantastic guys out there that age means nothing to.

When a mature adult writes, you will know. You have spoken with wisdom

Ignore that moniker. He talks out of his ass 9.5 out of 10 times

Sonnobax15:

Is your mother aware your sister has already clocked 31? .

You see this life . Funny life indeed.

A well educated man will marry a stark illiterate woman and upgrade her . But once reverse is the case, it'll look as if the whole world want to crash

Your family should be grateful to that man for at least agreeing to even settle down with someone whom menopause is already smiling at

So women in your village become perimenopausal at the age of 31? If that is the case then a platoon of gynaecologists need to visit your ancestral home in order to investigate. As a matter of urgency.

There was a story sometime back about a 15 year old autistic girl being assaulted in a store when she went shopping with her family. I don't know if this is a follow-up of the same story

Okay... I don't know them though. I don't even know the Nollywood 'star' they are related to

"Hitman"
He is one of the wrestlers that makes my childhood fun alongside the likes of Shawn Michael,Hulk Hogan, Edge, Batista, Rey Mysterio, Triple H, Steve Austin "Stone Cold", Bill Goldberg.
Happy birthday.

These men are not in the same generation.

Which nonsense crashing did he crash? How is selling fuel at 1k plus crashing??

_{You are just jealous because your center of gravity will not allow you to pull this stunt}

Mscheeeeeeeeeew

With a name like 'Beerkus', why won't they behave like drunks?

If not that Americans are overfed and spoilt, and thus have lost their common sense, tell me why it has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to be affirmed??

Still on the high side

About time. The military drill was as useless as the 'p' in 'psycho'.

Just an honest and intelligent conversation.

From Ngwaland we support this man effort and want replicate in Nigeria.

God bless us.

Indeed. The OP heading is a clickbait because there was no confrontation, but rather a civil monologue addressing some genuine concerns.

The man raised some genuine points though. Who are those abusing their hosts and saying they will rape their women and seize their lands? Those are the few bad eggs causing problems for the majority of the hardworking Nigerians.

However, this one sounds reasonable and enlightened, unlike the rabid xenophobes that have been looting and harassing people in the country.

cuffee:
at what age did you get married?

Ask the women in your family.

Anyone who rewatches that film is sadomasochistic and the devil

What is the synopsis of the movie?

Engagement farming is a menace to modern day social media.

Brendaniel:
Apologies for the earlier remarks I made about you, I just got really provoked with your topic and comment... the message could have still been passed without the insults 🙏

No issues.

Voicemails for Isabelle 8/10

Loved it. Highly recommend

GloriousGbola:
this post is spambot compliant

I chose my words carefully 😂😂😂

The post has a source which I posted there, and I also made the observation that history in many forms can not be fully objective. Most students of history know the remote and immediate causes of the Crusades. There are several sides and each side will narrate events coloured with their own bias. This is the Islamic side. Anyone is free to disagree. It is your prerogative.

FreeStuffsNG:
There are some very interesting account in the "The Silk Roads: A New History of the World" by Oxford historian Peter Frankopan.

It will make you see the current crisis in modern day west Asia and the role played by China, Turkey, Russia, Italy and India/Pakistan as a cycle of history that goes way back.

Below is pix of my hardcopy of the book.

Thank you. I'll search out the hard copy.

sweetjohn:
Nonesense post. The crusade was formed as a reesult of the Muslim Ottoman Empire that were killing millions of Christians and jews in Europe and around the world. The European Christians then formed the crusade to teach Muslims a lesson and defend Christianity from extinction[s][/s]

You're missing the point. Yes, the Crusades did not arise in a vacuum; They were, in part, a response to years of conflict and Muslim expansion into Christian lands. But that doesn't mean they should be seen as some glorious or heroic campaign. They also involved massacres, brutality, and the suffering of countless innocent people. History is best understood with all its complexity, not through romanticised stories.

Like HeatSeeker pointed out up there, blood curdling, hair raising atrocities were committed on both sides.

Kobojunkie:
The Crusades did not begin in the first century AD. That's almost 10 centuries(1000 years) after the first century. And the crusades came after the Islamist warlords of Arabia had invaded and colonized the following lands, reducing much of the population to slave status:
⚈ Christian Egypt(Conquered between 639 - 642)
⚈ Christian Italy(even attacking Rome in 846)
⚈ Christian Libya (647 AD - 742 AD)
⚈ Christian Tinusia (647 AD - 742 AD)
⚈ Christian Algeria (647 AD - 742 AD)
⚈ Christian Morocco (647 AD - 742 AD)
⚈ Christian Cypress(even attacking Rome in 846)
⚈ Christian Crete (even attacking Rome in 846)
⚈ Christian Armenia (638 AD - 639 AD)
⚈ Christian Spain ( 711 AD - 714 AD)
⚈ Christian Portugal ( 711 AD - 714 AD)
⚈ Christian Byzantine/Turkey (Circa 8th century)
⚈ Christian Syria-Palestine( 634 AD - 641 AD) .

All of the above were regions that Islam invaded and colonized, enslaving and massacring its way through the Christian world. All of the above took place before the Christians, who then decided it was best they fought back if they were to survive the scourge.

I know when it began. That century thing confuses me a lot. 1095 is the ELEVENTH century, not FIRST 😂😂😂😂

HeatSeeker:
This comment was unnecessary

Actually, it isn't. I don't want anyone to start spamming the thread with "plz summarize".
