truthhurtsnaira: Gowon’s take over was illegal and treasonable as he was not the most senior officer…. He had no jurisdiction to further draw up new states as he wished… of course, he was just serving the British Crown as their 31 year old boy boy….
xenoo: There is no spirit anywhere. Its just biology. A healthy human is a sexual being. You can only suppress it but not contain it. Once the sexual pressure builds you gone back to square one. Masturbation helps to reduce the sexual tension if not you can't focus or do anything. If you don't masturbate, you fornicate with girls or a gf. Those without these options becomes rapist. So therefore the best fix is to brace up and marry fast, then discipline yourself to be faithful to your partner within the confide of your home. Marriage is the only fix for pornography and masturbation.
Onyiiobi7735: First of all,use police to arrest all the stupid debtors, make them sign an undertaking at the police station. And it should include severe penalties. They would be forced to vomit the money. Secondly,put your foot down hard on permanently ceasing selling on credit. If the buyer has cash,sell to him or her.If not, hold on to your goods. Yes,let them keep malice with you, and stop patronising your shop. Other people will always come. When you are too nice to people, idiots would often take you for granted.
Cryptocreed: I remember tapping my phone like my life depends on it. Back then, it was really some fun memories. Though the project said probably nothing, we still go all in. So let me tell you a little about Notcoin.
Notcoin, launched on Telegram at the beginning of this year, is a play-to-earn game leveraging the Ton blockchain network. It's reminiscent of those nostalgic gaming moments where tapping away was the essence of enjoyment. Despite initial skepticism, Notcoin has amassed over 35 million players globally. Users earn points simply by tapping coin icons, which will eventually be converted into Notcoin tokens (NOT) on the Ton blockchain. This fusion of gaming and cryptocurrency rewards marks a significant evolution in gaming dynamics.Expected listing on many exchanges and the pre-market trade on Bitget suggest Notcoin has some instill for its community.
Padipadi: Ghanaians and jealousy are 5&6. Just like South Africa. Anyone noticed the two most jealous countries over Nigeria is Ghana and South Africa? Ori yin buru! If not for bad governance, are we mates? They ll be jealous about sports, girls, entertainment and even economy. Won fi se won ni?
emkz: Peter Obi did gragra thinking he could go all the way alone.
He has learnt his lessons.
Atiku saw himself as the president and underestimated other persons like Obi, Kwankwaso, Wike and Tinubu. Atiku doesn't seem to have learnt a thing.
Historically, no one becomes Nigeria's president on his own. In 1999, Obasanjo was installed by the military. In 2007, Obasanjo helped Yar'adua. In 2011, Jonathan was helped by most Nigerians who did not appreciate the way he was treated. In 2015, Buhari was helped by Tinubu, Amaechi, et al. In 2023, Kwankwaso, Atiku and Obi helped Tinubu win by splitting their votes.
Now, some people are shouting themselves hoarse that Tinubu bribed INEC and never won the election.
If Obi or Atiku believe this, they would ensure no one bribes INEC and still try to win from different parties. That they want to align is an indication that they realized their disunity cost them the election.
It must be recalled that Atiku in his last ill-fated press conference had called on Obi and Kwankwaso to join him in opposition. Obi seems to be heeding the call.
Dear Obidients, has Peter Obi even explained to you people why he made that visit? Would you still support him if he deputizes Atiku?
the North is not supposed to contest for two tenure, I don't know why Atiku can still come out after Buhari two terms
Moniya4Real: Well done Burna. You must have done this knowing fully well that no daughter of Eve can love you like your mother does. Even if the mullar finished tomorrow (God forbid), mama will still be there for her son,but these leeches, they move on to the next mugun.
Meghan's father is a White man and her mother is an African-American. Therefore Meghan is of mixed race descent. This info is for the few ignorant posters here who are trying to associate her with a particular ethnicity based on her caramel or light skin complexion.
Second, it depends on what 43 percent Nigerian ancestry means though. 23 and Me, and AncestryDNA are the major DNA testing companies that I've known for over 20 years now that assign percentages to their tests. These percentage tests however do NOT tell you what specific ethnic groups you come from but only broadly say you are from the Nigeria, Benin/Togo, Cameroon/Congo, Ghana/Ivory Coast Regions based on your genetic markers. Many Nigerians were taken on slave schooners to the Americas in the 1700s and 1800s from the Hausas, Nupes, Yorubas, Ibo, Efik/Ibibio (in Cuba), Kanuris (Slave ship records show that a population of over 700 Kanuris had been liberated at various times by the British Naval Squadrons off the coast of West Africa in the 1800s from slave ships and resettled in Free Town. These were MAJORLY from the Fulani jihad in the North of Nigeria as told by the Kanuri man Ali Eisami whose father was an Islamic teacher and was captured and sold into slavery by the Fulani invaders of the Borno area).
The last ever American slave ship (Clotilda) that sailed into the United States in 1859 from Whydah (now in Benin Republic) into Mobile in Alabama, United States on the eve of the American Civil War had majorly Yorubas from the Bante region of Yorubaland in the current Benin Republic on board, with Nupes (Tapas), a Fon noble man, and a few Hausas, etc.
Most African-Americans, Afro-South Americans and African-Carribeans, etc, are NOW ancestrally mixed up and based on DNA analyses, most show ancestries from all parts of the major regions and ethnic groups of Africa where enslaved Africans were taken from (and European ancestries as well) because of the forced intermingling of White men and African women who were enslaved on the plantations, then after slavery was abolished, there were legal marriages between Whites and Blacks as well.

seyimailbox: This is a sad news! Instead of building a strong institutions that will make leaders accountable, instead we entrust our land to an unholy deity who demands blood. The politicians know they will break the oath and then the deity will demand for instance ten virgin heads, the hunt begins for innocent citizens, cases of missing persons increases and also ritual killings.
CodeTemplar: Who will steal will steal and the gods will gladly accept a sacrifice. It is with the living God that Obedience is better than sacrifice. With dead gods, sacrifice is ultimate.
