me1234:
I guess your memories has also failed you to remember the cause of the fuel scarcity and queues under Jonathan in January 2012. Since your memory is so short let me refresh it. The government of jonathan at that time told the nation that for the government to be able to carry out developmental projects the the fuel subsidy has to be removed and beside the subsidy was only benefiting a few Nigerians. But guess what the occupy nigeria group championed by TUNDE BAKARE financed by TINUBU did? Well I need not remind you. One wonders why they suddenly swallow their vomit when PMB said he wanted to remove the same subsidy

ogechieku:
I think you maybe a friend i swallowed what i wanted to say i may not give you second chance.

jamace:
By your post, you have proven to us that you are happy and proud that we are experiencing fuel scarcity.

Fuel scarcity is a bad omen which should be frowned at by all citizens,

Some brilliant scientists whose hearts were conneted to higher realm devoped theories, fomula...principle but some idiots critise them out of biased tongues today their grandchildren are making use of what their grandparants condemned what a better way should God use foolishness of this world to trouble the wise of the world? I have chosen not to have anything to with with children of the fools who labelled themselves intelletuals

kissval1388:

Black Magic!!

Why can't dey just apply all this black and evil Magic in a way that it would favour everyone and the economy?, Like turning water into petrol, or turning naira to dollars etc

INTROVERT:
Its quite unfortunate that this happened. I think you need to have a very serious face to face discussion with the man in question her because this is how these things start. I follow your advice on how to act when he comes back drunk as that is the best to avoid beating.

Honestly if my hubby should beat me I would expect my brothers to really give him "run".
How will someone marry when one reads and sees all these kinda stories ever day, everywhere. May God help women around the world.

McCarlito:
No one punishes like Nigerian parents. It’s a fact. The fear of your parents is also a very good place for wisdom to start. When you have committed, your parents will call you by your full name (Smellymouth Lalasticlala Agarawu) and after a dialogue that is actually a monologue of them shouting rhetorical questions like; ”Am I your mate" at you, they will proceed to either flog you or hit you with anything from a spatula to slippers. God bless you if their weapon breaks on your body, because then you will be beaten for the loss of the weapon. Also, do not attempt self defense, you might destroy the weapon and like I said, that doesn’t help you. And do not try to run, they will throw things at you and  catch up with you. So, don’t do it.

I remember sweeping the house so early in the morning and doing it barefooted so that my mom’s leg won’t pick up a grain of sand. Even now my sister said she cleans her home “as if mom’s coming to visit”.

I smell FP from lalasticlala..
The girls... in the 80's and 90's you could get any girl of your choice with just a handful of suya. In todays 2000's, if you never carry her go KFC, cinema, beach or buy beta phone or ride for her she nor go gree .. The music, fashion tech , nightlife of the 90's was so on point..

UrennaNkoli:
I was opportuned to have a taste of the 80's and 90's and I must confess the 90's still remains the best ever. In fact, anytime I remember the 90's , I feel nostalgic and wish I could roll back the hands of time . Many will argue that the 80's was the best decade ever, some will tell you its the 70's, some will go for the 60's, some the 50's some will even go for the 2000's . For me , the 90's beats these decades hands down and here goes my reasons...

THE MUSIC
The 90's was no doubt the era of good and splendid music. From hiphop to rap to soul and even rock. Just have a look at foreign masterpiece like Snoop Dogg's who am I (Whats my name), The notorious BIG Juicy,https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biggie-crown.jpg Dr dre's (Still dre), Lauryn Hill's Doo Woop ( That thang) . These were classic songs I still even listen to till today. Even coming back home to songs like Seyi Sodunmu's Love me jejehttps://net.tooxclusive.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Seyi-Sodimu.jpg, to the Fela Kuti'shttps://venturesafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Fela-Kuti.png, Iyogogo and many more. Unlike the crap kids listen to today .. I mean the davido's wizkid or wizboy whatever his name his , sean tizzle, olamide who sings like nothing but a danfo thug... Music is honestly what it ought to be and what it used to be.

The politics
Oh this was a great era of politics both home and abroad. You turn on your transistor only to hear of a coup attempted by Major Gideon Orka,https://www.informationng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Sani-Abacha.jpg or one by Gen Sani Abacha, or the MKO Abiola saga and lots more. Newspaper were more fun to read then, any beer palour you go then, it was 90% sure it will be politics they are arguing about . Unlike today, all we read on the news is about an accident that happened on and expressway or Buhari travelling to china for one meeting , Obasanjo this, yar' adua that. Politics is going down the drain in today's Nigeria. Even crossing boarders and going foreign, you hear of the Rodney King verdict and L.A. riots tear the nation apart, OJ Simpson chase, Bill Clinton, and thousands more. Comm'on , this was an era that can never be rivaled .

The Movies
Titanic, The good fellas, The lion king, con air, brave heart, dumb and dumber, My own private Idaho, white men can't jump, Billie Madison... Time can't just permit me to mention them all. Even Nigerian movies were classical then. I still have collection of movies like living in bondage, Nneka the pretty serpent, blood money, issakaba, domitila and lots more. Today, I am extremely ashamed of Nollywood as it can be very embarrassing to watch. All they do now is knockbusters with little funds with the aim of making useless profit. You see films in Nollywood of today like spidergirl[img]http://2.bp..com/-l6Hz7fw876c/VcnOFXAU0QI/AAAAAAAAAP4/0t007qTIN8Q/s320/spider%2Bgirl.jpg[/img] ,. I recently saw a movie one day titled ''I Want To Suck Your Blood''. I really laughed out loud. Nollywood is going down the drain.

The Fashion
Nothing just beats the fashion of the 90's. From the Alexander McQueen spring of 1997 to the Azzedine Alaïa shows of 1991 to calvin klein spring 1994 to the Balenciaga spring. The afro hair styles people carry about just blended with the atmosphere. Even here in Nigeria, fashion was at its peak and its best. People like Miss Sade Thomas, the great fashion designer were awesome https://41.media.tumblr.com/347356fcbd80c1d35297f13cda5d9f31/tumblr_mlq9brrhZp1s0i6geo1_400.jpg https://40.media.tumblr.com/b9142e160f25a8f1926e079e96658648/tumblr_mjqdkgwxJ01s0i6geo1_r1_400.jpg https://40.media.tumblr.com/a2c6334569c2fe49dcb588cf5e2b4f5d/tumblr_mizvklv7LN1s0i6geo1_400.jpg.

The Education
You can't argue with me that the quality of education of this era wasn't at its best. Although I must confess this started from era beyond. Today, we see young Nigerians wriggling their way through the university just to earn a degree. Many parents don't even care about their children's future anymore. They rather prefer to see them in the streets hawking pepper and okra and make money for them .

The Technology
The 90's really was an era of technology that really changed our lives for good. These technologies really layed the platform for today's technology From the walkman, to the nintendo's gameboy, to kids cruising around in barbie jeeps to pagers (I honestly prefer this to cell phones ) also, who will ever forget the ever green play station 1, Apples Imac G3 Comm' on, https://www.defeatboredom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/palm-pilot-1000-640x536.jpg https://www.defeatboredom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Discman_D121-640x713.jpg https://www.defeatboredom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/game-boy-color-640x480.jpg https://www.defeatboredom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/playstation.jpg

The Sports
The 90's was obviously an era of great sport moments. From basketball, to cricket, to boxing , athletics etc Who will ever forget the '94 olympics where Nigeria clinched gold, soccer for example also saw the establishment of many great players like Gheorghe Hagi, Rivaldo, Ze roberto, Van Basten, lotar Mathaus, Baggio, Ronaldo, Figo, Romario and lots more. Even on our home turf, we had the likes of yekini,https://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Rashidi-Yekini1-300x201.jpg Kanuhttps://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/635000/images/_639564_kanu300.jpg George Finidi https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/7121finidi-betis.jpgand co. They made football ore fun to watch unlike the Mikels, Iwobi's of today

The Slang
The 90's was an er of slangs. I just can mention them all.... 'Sup, b Bangin'/Slammin Crib ,Bama ,Ghetto, Shiznit, Whassup...Time just can't permit me to mention them all.

I tasted both the 80's and 90's and I must confess its just the best decade ever. Far better than the 80's, 70's 60's 50's and beyond. Even better than the 2000's for our newer generation of kids

Feel free to add yours.
