popizaino: Abeg is there anyone from bonny island here ? Have you tried to embark on this kind of journey before cus not even a contract of $200million will make me try this.
[color=royalblue]The longest 30 minutes of my life was when I usually take these speedboats from Ikorodu to VI
This guy get small luck say rain no start after they had departed. That's usually the worst situation for me. I just begin to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs..
Extra tip: Never sit at the front (where the guy sat). That's the most uncomfortable position, especially when the boat is gliding over the waves.
The back is better, although it's uncomfortable too[/color]
Jodera: So the Mane wey dey carry Liverpool with blocks, interceptions and clearance don go dey do same thing for Bayern ba?
Teams wey Lewandowski dey score like water, e reach Mane time, Bayern come dey draw back to back to back(3 straight). Bayern with a full fit squad just dey draw anyhow
Donstan18 go keep quiet but if e reach injury hit Liverpool, you go dey see epistles of how na d absence of Mane deh cause make dem no deh win games
Roland17: An Igbo woman who was directly affected by the actions of the Queen on her people expresses her thoughts on her death, albeit irrationally based on verifiable facts, actions and inactions of the Queen. You respond by exposing your bias for the same Igbo people who lost millions of people to the actions and inactions of the Queen!
.
[color=royalblue]Like...Her point was there the whole time.
I have read about corrupt politicians, Ojukwu, bitter feminist, Lesbian,we not being able to move past that and develop ourselves, and I'm seeing TB Joshua now..
It even progressed to those supporting her as this and that.
But her point is still there.
#AbolishtheMonarchy was among the top 20 trends on Twitter yesterday. I have no doubts that hashtag is coming from Ochanja and Obosi markets[/color]
I go to Festival Mall Frequently and I hardly see all these things??
I no be the same Festac you dey??
Ahbi na Agboju Extension of Festac??
[color=royalblue]It's not even about the househelp for me. Its stereotyping a whole tribe as those supporting Uju. When it was clear that Stevie Wonder can see how tribal that was, he came with the best explanation I have never read in my life.[/color]
GloriousGbola: Ironically most of the people celebrating her tweet still defend neo-slavery. (children as househelps).
They also staunchly defended ekeremadu exploiting the resources of a poorer individual for a 'generous' fee.
And they are also selling us out as a dumping ground for dangerous Chinese products and western waste.
[color=royalblue]Most of the people celebrating the tweet use househelps. He has confirmed he meant Igbos
Most of the people who supported the tweet STAUNCHLY SUPPORTED Ekweremadu. He said it is ALL NIGERIANS.
Most of the people who supported the tweet are selling us out as a dumping ground to China. He said it is ALL NIGERIANS and the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
So we have the FG, Nigerians and Igbos supporting the tweet. But then, we shouldn't call then NIGERIANS, so we classify them based on ..... Omo, Omoh, Omoeaux
Well, at least Indians, Irish, Asians and British that are saying worse on Facebook and Twitter are not using househelps, or importing from China.
donjazet: There is nothing I hate as much as whataboutism.
It's simply a deflectionary tool used in discourse to steer away from the issue at hand.
Fact: America is a land filled with racism.
Discussion is now supposed to be centered on how racism is obviously bad and efforts we could take to tackle racism and make the society more equitable for all in this modern age.
WHATABOUTISM; "what about your home country" littered with corruption, tribalism, ineffective leadership etc. Go back to your country then.
Well 2 WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT. When the day presents itself to tackle a supposed issue, we tackle it too. We talk about how we can enact good leadership, how we could shed our tribal identities and see ourselves as one etc etc .
But the fact that once people bring up a dysfunctional system or situation, you revert to whataboutism shows you're on the wrong side.
As for the monarchy issue, you would be surprised that it's even more of British people that are criticizing the monarchy than "outsiders".
Go to Twitter and see how some Britain's are actually happy she's gone and hoping this brings the end to the monarchy. There is even a political party to that effect.
Britons are even more "woke" than the foreigners.
So yes, queen Elizabeth might not have had a hand in many atrocities (although there are some like suppressing Kenya's emancipation efforts) and the fact that she staunchly maintains the commonwealth which is an antique of colonial Britai, but there is a genuine feeling that she could have at least spoken out against some atrocities of the crown she inherited.
I don't join those who are speaking ill of the dead but condemning the legit points raised is unfortunate.
[color=royalblue]I already knew the whataboutism won't last.
The point was there. I didn't see the need for Politicians, Bitter feminist and all that we read yesterday.
How she tweeted was inconsiderate and wrong, but her point was there and it cannot be erased.
Now that other nationalities that aren't black are doing the same thing Uju did, Africa can now rest [/color]
GloriousGbola: well, yes, igbos are the chief culprits for child househelps. that is more or less anecdotal[not statistical] fact.
but it goes beyond igbos as many Nigerians have been jailed in the same uk for bringing people to be househelps, and that is defined as slavery/traffiking.
but for ekeremadu - he was defended by nigerians of all tribes. most of us seemed to think that as long as ekeremadu had paid the guy, no harm no foul. whats the difference between that and slavers giving chiefs mirrors in exchange for human beings - they too have paid.
which is why all the complaints about slavery [using human beings as resources] is hypocritical if we have no problems doing the same thing to ourselves
most of this was clearly encapsulated in FFK's staunch and robust defense that the guy was paid
it is ironic that it is now the UK jailing africans for perpetuating slavery within their borders.
and nigerians of all levels are selling us out to the chinese.
the govt is doing so [with loans we cannot repay] , and the businessmen are also doing so [with substandard goods].
[color=royalblue]Is this an explanation for your comment?
Not necessary, sir.
I only wanted to let you know you could make it a whole lot easier than typing 3 paragraphs[/color]
larride: Theres a reason why there's Ireland and Northern Ireland.
[color=royalblue]Yeah
One would have thought it also just Wokeism that started that, but it's no news that people have always hated the monarchy and blamed them for their past.
Give it a week, and we would graduate from a bitter feminist to debating if they did what they did.
VargasVee: Surprised people are just getting to know this Uju Anya. Never seen a more bitter person on Twitter.
Same woman who'd spend days insulting and roasting her father for abandoning her, and the mother only for the halfwit to abandon her own husband and gone to marry a woman
A40: I don't agree with Death always being a period of mourning. We're all going to die regardless so should you be fortunate to live a full life to the ripe old age of 96 then I'm sorry there's nothing like mourning. It's worth celebrating
I reserve mourning for people that died in young and unfortunate circumstances
[color=royalblue]I understand if you see it differently though.
My grandma was almost 90 before she died. It was all celebrations and merrying, but bros, when they lowered that casket into the grave, I no know when water comot my eye.
Even if I die at 100, abeg make dem do solemn, short burial. No celebrations abeg[/color]
donstan18: Mane and Rashford are/were the EPL players I admire very much aside Chelsea players.
I dey watch Liverpool, very well, I dey watch Mane, when I call Salah a system player, it’s not from the point of banter, it’s a fact. Same thing with Trent Anold.
Klopp was useless in EPL until Mane joined Liverpool. All these Liverpool ginger and competitiveness started when Mane joined, but Salah was much adored, hyped and pampered because of stats and hair style. Also because of Arabian influence and connections.
Again I’ll say, you can’t watch Liverpool match and value Salah over Mane, it’s not even possible, unless the person is sick.
It’s more than a month, Jodera, Izzou and co are nowhere to be found. These were the ones that kept arguing unnecessarily over the bitter truth.
Mane carried Liverpool, Salah and Klopp. This statement remains the truth until proven otherwise.
[color=royalblue]My brother, L is give and take. It moves in phases
