Ah! I remember the giddy days and fervor with which the Yoruba's campaigned for Buhari! How their girls would kiss his poster. How they did t-shirt aso-ebi's with Buhari and Osibanjo's picture where they were drinking sachet Milo tea! Ah those heady days! Days where the yoruba's poured online warriors all over the internet to sell buhari's candidacy, a man they dressed in borrowed garbs from the East and West but never in fulani attire!

A man they insanely loved to the point that they hated anyone who said otherwise and called them "thieves" or beneficiaries of PDP"looters." Yoruba imams, pastors and babalawo's praised and prayed consistently for Buhari and earnestly yearned for his leadership because, to them, he would rule with hate for corruption, nepotism, ethnic chauvinism and he would be a President for all. They cursed all in opposition and labelled them with all sorts, such was the hate emanating from the very top of religion/religious leaders. Indeed for all! Yoruba intelligentsia all lined up and outdid themselves with beautiful prose in awe of buhari!

You were hated in class, in the market, in church, in mosque, on the streets and in friendly gatherings if you dared speak against their messiah - buhari! Such was the love that friends cut ties, religious institutions blacklisted anyone who did not toe the buhari line. It was a complete wipeout of opposing voices of reason or call for closer scrutiny of the man they were selling! Even their revered poet body-shamed a fellow human being with the appellation - "shepopotamus." Such was the hate that it didn't matter the victim was a woman!

Ah Yoruba's! With all your self-proclaimed "sophistication" and "discerning nature" this is what you came up with? A monster that is devouring your people and spreading his tentacles to those that never supported the "leopard" who can never shed it spots? With all your intelligence, you never saw what blind bats saw? You forgot "words" or rather chose to forget "words" he spoke in front of Lam Adeshina when he openly threw statesmanship aside and batted in favor of "my people," the same people that are now throwing murder, rape, looting, kidnapping, mayhem like candies in all directions?

Haba Yoruba people! You have brought home ant-infested maggots but now complaining of the lizards visiting you? Truly, your refusal to learn from history but to be carried away by selfishness and unbridled desire for position caused all this. You were all swept away by your secret fantasies that Buhari will die and Osibanjo will become President! You were even wishing buhari death too, while extolling his "virtues." Ah Yoruba people, was Janus this two-faced?

Before you begin to insult me, let what I have written cause you to pause and ponder instead of your usual nature of attacking the story-teller who will not tell a story that excites you. Ingest this write-up to incite your thinking abilities and conscience. Let it inspire you to realise that you failed in your quest to use the emperor you installed as a pedestal to attain power. You did not only fail, you brought down the house on your head and that of your neighbors in the process!

Which ever road you travel from here MY YORUBA PEOPLE history has already recorded this event and it will forever remain not only as a deep scar on your conscience but is now your branding! In this 21st century and it's attendant technologies you have repeated the mistakes of Afonja. As you set about unravelling the knots with which you tied us all, let true (not insincere) fairness, equity and selflessness guide you! Ah yoruba!!!!!!

On of the best write-ups I've seen this year

TemmyT002:
With all due respect, SHARAP please.
People make mistakes; no one is above it.
People were suffering and they saw a better solution, not knowing it was a scam.
The mistake has been made already. Complaining won't solve anything.
Look forward and find solutions, that's the main thing. The people who voted for them are regretting it now.
Let's hear word abeg.

The suffer for Buhari first tenure no do them? We will keep reminding you lots of your bad choice. Una been think say na only who no vote for Buhari go cry, e don dey reach everybody. Now, you dey give motivational speech. Mtcheww

Is not surprising the so called stupid public universities only frustrate students, it's only in the public universities you will hear nobody has ever graduated with a first class degree from so so faculty, and not that there are no bright students o, all they know is to frustrate, sex for marks. That's why we have students who graduated with a third class degree in public university and move to America and graduate with a first class degree, stupid public universities,

The reason they don't give first class in public universities is because standard of education in naija has fallen. One of our lecturers mentioned it this week in class. He stated that the department would hardly give any student first class, because they would go and embarrass them in the outside world. I'm a medical laboratory student, but I can count how many times I don enter lab to do practicals. E no reach 10. We go in to the labs to meet dead microscopes, faulty machines, inadequate reagents and the likes. We're told to MANAGE. You can't give any student that pass through that nonsense environment first class na

theFilmtric:
incorrect.
@emboldened
I know a lot of rich people that want to have nothing to do with a private-owned university
They say it breed half-baked graduates
An average Public university graduate will be a better all-rounder

theFilmtricsay

Better in what sense? Public university that syllabus is totally outdated? Stop fooling yourself. There was a time public Universities in naija get head. Not anymore. Standard of education in naija has fallen. You go enter laboratory, 20-30 students go dey share one microscope. I school in a public university, and I can bolded tell you, na poverty cause am. None of my children would smell public universities. I can wait to see more private universities offering top medical courses

CodeTemplar:
If you need competent and trust worthy accountants private uni grads are there, if you are after shrine administrator, literate prostitute for entertainment, political thugs, and other social misfits, public will supply you with excess.

Aswear. I be public university student, but the truth is, in the corporate world, private university students soar. Most innovative firms in Nigeria want private university graduates. Ogbeni Dipo wrote about this some times back. Covenant university graduates especially. Those guys have brains

sapphiere:
I've answered your question. You asked why the future is FEMALE. And I said the future is FEMALE because everything around success is FEMALE.
To be successful, it is either you are female, transform to a female or be around a female.

Man's failure emanated from a female

theFilmtric:
True very true
But even if its pricey
Any reasonable person would choose Samsung
They are more innovative
They are more experienced
they are very durable
So do you mean Xiaomi is a better brand?

theFilmtricsay

Xiaomi specializes in budget devices. Samsung are more flagship-centric. The Xiaomi Mi 11 is proof that if they want to go the flagship route, Samsung may not stand a chance. For durability, forget matter. I'm using a 2016 Xiaomi phone. Still flies like a champ. About Xiaomi being a better brand, it's subjective. Like I said, price to performance, Samsung no see him back even when we want to go the flagship route. Dead this talk abeg

theFilmtric:
lol
You can think anything you want of me
That's your business
I've also been reading on the Xiaomi thread for about 2 years now
And even God knows that the complaints are far more than that
You're just a Xiaomi fan
I didn't expect much
About the Gcam stuff
I follow the Xiaomi thread more than I follow the Infinix thread
And the people asking for Gcam can always use their search engines to search
You always repeat the boldened
And I don't really disagree
But If I should ask Is Xiaomi on Samsung's level?
You fanboys are always quick to say that but when its time to bring information,specs etc you mention me once
I counter it
Twice, I still counter it
Then you stop
This isn't 2018
Times are changing
I am not lying
I am no brand's fanboy
You are

theFilmtricsay

Price to performance, Xiaomi /Redmi beats Samsung

theFilmtric:
1.the complaints on Xiaomi thread are x1000 the complaints on Infinix thread
I follow the both
2.Go and ask them in the Xiaomi thread
They themselves know
3.Almost all popular phones have their ported Gcam

theFilmtricsay

I honestly thought you were being factual, you're not. You're blinded by sentiments. I use Xiaomi and I can pin point certain flaws, but you're a blind transsion fan. I've been in that Xiaomi thread for years, what exactly do people complain about there, if not asking if they should go ahead and update their devices or why the update seem to drain battery? Enter infinix and Tecno thread, stupid complains wey you go see go tire you. Transsion no dey Xiaomi/Redmi level abeg. Dead this talk. You dey talk gcam, enter infinix thread and see the reply for those asking for gcam ports. Stop lying abeg

Angelfrost:
Millions of misogynistic men who can't see past their inborn gender bias during elections!

Next question!!!

95% of women would not vote for fellow women if they appear in the ballot. Paulen Tallen of Plateau State that contested election, got ONLY 1 vote (herself). Her fellow women no even look her side. Women hate women

theFilmtric:

1.Saying nothing is/has changing/changed shows your ignorance
2.You said?
Xiaomi phones are the worse ever in RAM management even Your die-hard Xiaomi fan boys know that
But they push the blame to the so called “Heavy MIUI”
A 2Gb Infinix phone would have a better ram management than a 3Gb Xiaomi phone
3. They port Gcam for the Transsion phones too
4.@boldened lie
I may not be a Xiaomi fan but I know stuff
I ain't Stupid

Fake gcam. Any gcam for transsion phones na formality. E no dey work

Rareoil:
Lol

1. Nothing has changed

2. Not as bad as xOS and hiOS

3. Some medium end xiaomi phones have gcam support

4. You gave one example on Android updates, Nokia phones receive 2 rounds of Android updates. Xiaomi redmi note 7 is a 2019 phone built with Android 9 that will be receiving Android 11 update, no Transsion phone has done this.

I be Xiaomi fan, but let's say the truth. For RAM management, transsion better pass am. But we know why. MIUI is heavy, like heavily packed. Data consumption is very high too on Xiaomi/Redmi devices. Truthfully though, transsion and updates dey like cats and dogs. If transsion phone come with Android version 1, not even rapture would change it to 2. You die there. HiOs and XOs sef no get updates. And the user interface of both are very ugly. MiUi fine die

Plesse forget the errors and focus on the content.

So here's my issue.

I've been married for 6yrs and it's been a blissful journey- of course with minor issues here and there but nothing to worry about until May 5th 2020 when I'd say things turned upside down.

We live abroad and struggled to have kids but God finally blessed us with a beautiful daughter in Sept 2019. Child care being super expensive here, we wanted one of our moms to come help us with the baby when I return to work after my maternity leave. So on the eve of our wedding anniversary which was the 4th of May last year, I asked my husband for the say 10th time about beginning the procedure of bringing a mom over to help since I'll be returning to work. He asked which mom and I said in my exact words; "of course my mom" because I know that when a woman gives birth, her mom usually go to help her. Did that change our story? My God, marriage has been one hell of a thing since that day.

My husband said I am selfish, disrespectful, and want to dominate him. He said things will never be the same again and since then, my marriage has been a stress zone.

My husband is numb to my feelings. He's been ignoring me, I've been a nag I'll admit since tue incident last year. I now talk alot and mostly complain about everything whenever we are together. It's sad and I've actually had conversations with myself to ignore him and stop nagging but I continue to do it, I need help on how to shut up and observe.

I can cry from now to die kingdom come and this man wouldn't be moved. He cannot shift his stance because of me at all. He does whatever he likes and disregard everything I say. E.g before this crisis, we had an appointment to see our Dr to start trying for baby number two because the Dr's advised that since we just had a baby, it's best to try for another soonest given that we had challenges conceiving the first one. This man cancelled the appointment with our Dr and has blatantly refused to start trying for a baby right now. He says when the time comes he'll let me know. Up till now the time has not come despite the fact that delaying may impact our chance of conceiving again. What a life!� � �.

Also, he has decided that no parent will come and I'm back to work already. My poor baby who use to sleep till 9am now suffer in this winter getting up at 6am to be dropped off at daycare all because her father is angry and want to make sure he doesn't do anything that will make his wife smile. He'll rather spend thorns of money paying for daycare even after I've told him that I don't mind his mom coming. Mind u, I have a very good relationship with my inlaws, especially my mom inlaw so it's not an inlaw fight.

The worst of them all is that despite living abroad for 17yrs, this man believes so much in native doctors to the extend that I can't even explain. Infact it's something that I've always fought him about and talked against. I've even complained about it to his family. And guess what, when I talk against, he tells his native drs who of course has ignited the fire in our home. Can you believe that in this chaos this man took me on a vacation in August last year that he wanted to clear his mind so we can start a new chapter and be happy again only to tell me that I have been trying to use a charm on him in the past months thats why things got rough. He said the 3 women I am using appeared to him but he is stronger ����. I am laughing because I felt pity and ashamed for him. How can a grown man be this vulnerable to suitsayers? I have never in my entire life visited a native doctor for myself not to talk of going to take a charmI didn'tvisit the native drs when I was strugglingto have a baby and this man thinks I'llvisit one now to charm him. Wondering y he will even believe such a thing. Infact I don't even know any native doctor. So when he said that, I told him that if I had known that his change of attitude is because of this stupid reason, I would not have fought for my marriage like I did. Of course I got so mad and told him a piece of my mind. I am even ashamed of telling people that despite this man's exposure he consults native Dr's in Africa more than even the people in Africa. Infact if they say yes that's what he listens to. He has even paid a flight from here to Africa because a native Dr told him that his dad who raised him to be the man he is today is trying to kill him and he should come for protection.

I decided to tell his mom about the accusation. His mom told me she scolded at him and warned him never to say such nonsense. Well I just pity him and I'm praying for him. But truth is I regret my marriage to him because of these his believes. I just don't believe in divorce and don't even have the heart to move out I would have done so. Mind u, I am 100% independent so it's not an issue of being scared of surviving alone.

Well one Sunday night as usual I talked to him like crazy and he said "all he wants is for our relationship to work and he will put in his best effort with support from me. I said I want same and will put in my best effort with support from him too*. This happened around september and things have been like normal on and off since then.

I have a few worries which I'd like you to advise me on the way forward.
- My husband is heartless. No matter how I lament, cry, beg, approach him nicely. Infact no matter the manner in which I bring up an issue to him, he doesn't get moved at all. He stays on his stance and doesn't care. How am I suppose to live with a man like this. He goes mute when I try having a conversation with him.

- I have a weakness of talking alot which I acknowledge and I'm doing my best to work on it though I'm yet to change completely. But I can say there's a huge improvement. Infact I'm able to walk away now.

Can a marriage really work out out without a compromise from both parties? I feel like I am compromising alot but this man is doing whatever he likes. In all of these he doesn't cheat but has abused me physically 4times in our 6yrs of marriage which I'm still pained about. The worst abuse right now is emotional abuse and I've told him so several times.

We use to be an exemplary and happy couple up till this may 2020. What will you do in a situation like mine With? With a man like my husband who I'd say lacks empathy and a concience how do I deal with him? His mom said she talked to him but I don't see any difference.

I feel miserable right now in my marriage. Since I got married this is our hardest hit and unfortunately it got prolonged probably bc of his native Dr's who told him I am using a charm on him which he believed.


Help me out please

On the issue of being unbothered when you cry and lament, I think you married my exact replica. If my wife adopts this methodology, she go tire. I would sure listen if she sits me down and talk without all those emotional manipulative methodologies

Yeah, it's happening to everyone. The build quality is pretty bad. It's because the front glass is a little pulled up at the left hand corner after months of usage.

Someone solved it by removing the front glass and pasting it back.
I'm gonna meet a good phone engineer to do that for me on Monday.

I bless God o. I escaped that phone that year. E land, but with screen defect. Had to return it. Things like this for make me slam the phone for ground

By the end of this month, we shall know our fate.

Laxity didn't start this month or last. We've always been lax about it. We already know our fate (VERY LOW MORTALITY RATE)

iokpebholo:
So u mean coronavirus does not exist in Nigeria

I never said that. In fact, I believe virtually every Nigerian has had the virus, if the means of spread and rate of contraction is anything to go by. I think we have our immune systems to thank for the low rate of mortality

luvmijeje:
You are just throwing up figures. Oya back it up with a scientific link.

Come lemme test you. That's about as scientific as I can go. But seriously, with how lax everyone is, including the govt about this virus, you honestly believe you've not been exposed? Lmao. Just say you don't believe the virus is real

Tsolutionifede:
which health facility is controlling the virus, it is clear now that u don't know what you are saying, if the virus goes as it is been described, then we are all exposed, probably how immunity is doing the magic, so locking down is a waste of time.

Another sensible nairalander. Don't mind all these doomsayers. Lockdown fire

luvmijeje:
See my last comment for your answer.

You should reread that guy's comments. It's the fact that you and your fellow doomsayers fail to grasp

luvmijeje:
My point is still flying over your head. Let me break it down.

The Covid-19 majorly affect the respiratory system and the cases that leads majorly to hospitalisation is when the infected can't breathe on their own.

These are my questions to you. If you can't breathe by yourself, won't you need ventilator to assist you?

Where can Ventilator be found? In your house or hospital?

If it is hospital, when there are more cases than ventilators, what will happen?

If you can't breathe on your own or have no access to ventilator, will you live or die?

If the cases become more than the ventilator, won't they start doing ration?

When they start doing ration, do you think we that are poor as church rat will be on the ration list?

If I take your blood sample for a test, there's a 75% chance I'd see COVID-19 antibodies. Oh yes, you most likely have been exposed to the virus, as have millions others. How many people that you know, or that knows someone that knows someone is in the hospital, needing ventilators? Stop fooling yourself. Most ventilators in hospitals are useless as we speak, I work in one, so I can say so authoritatively. We have many other illnesses to worry about in Nigeria, and thankfully, COVID-19 is NOT one of them. Let the economy thrive. We'd be fine

luvmijeje:
There is no contradiction. The politicians knows their power emanates from you but you don't realise that fact.

Power in Nigeria does not emanate from the people. It's a slogan the govt uses to paint themselves as "serving the people". Where do you exercise the so called power you mentioned? Elections Lmao. I'd have you know we have some supreme court governors in naija. All politicians do is cherry pick. Your vote doesn't count, it NEVER does!

luvmijeje:
*sigh*

Do you know that last year Nigeria shut down her airspace for 4 months but US didn't shut down their own. Do you know that Nigeria shut down her biggest cities for six weeks but US only shut down Newyork. Do you know it was because of the foolish endsars protest the Governor of Lagos fully opened up Lagos from his partial shut down.

So why are you comparing us with US?

You specifically mentioned 'health facilities'. Bring it up in your argument. No one cares when Nigeria shut down airports or the likes. The virus still got in and spread. You can't say our health facilities are the reason why there's low death rate. That's grossly inaccurate
