something wen I done bet with inter to win 12,500 to win 50k

Inter to win Madrid or City?

Surprise! Surprise! So he can apologize for damaging a policeman's vehicle? Something he should have done immediately the incident happened.

The only way to encourage discipline policemen and women all over the country is to ensure people like Seun Kuti do the time for his assault.

Parents must think of better ways to discipline and instill morals into their kids, even for those of us in Nigeria. There's no real correlation between the rod and well-rounded children who grow up to be responsible adults. Nigerians and the state of Nigeria is the only proof you should need of that.

@Story, all the father had to do was take away the computer for some days, or delete (uninstall) some of the kid's video game he's fond of playing. Nothing hurts a kid the most than denying them the chance to enjoy their hobbies.

Growing up, I'd rather chop cane than not play evening football after school. We take physical beatings to extreme levels that I personally can't advocate for it.

Nwaetche:
Excellent!

This is not election season ooh. He did the same when he was Anambra State governor.

Anambra is one of the most detribalised state in the South East. I have visited Onitsha several times with an uncle that sales spare parts in Ikoku when we were growing up. There is a whole area in Onitsha called Fegge. There is Bida and Kaduna Road too. There is Lagos Street in Onitsha. There is also Port harcourt and a big and important market called Agbe- Ijaw named after the shrewd Ijaw merchants and sea fares along the great River.

Are you serious? Listing those trivialities to symbolise a detribalised society?

Hezzyluv:
Oga shortup

You speak like someone who's brain is beneath his foots.

Almost everything u're using today ranging from Cars, gadgets, clothes, perfumes, Houses etc, is more of making rich men richer.

How much be 8or9dollars Compare to the latest phone you used to typed this

When you consider the origin of the blue tick and why it was introduced, one has to wonder if you're as smart as the overwhelming majority of users who wouldn't pay for it.

If you see some of the richest, powerful, and influential entities refusing to pay 8 dollars for a logomark, try and be more circumspect before you command your fingers.

Heard stories from Benue boys about this herdsmen rampage, couldn't believe all this could happen repeatedly.

Hedonini:
I hate it when idiots wouldn't keep quiet even when their stupidity is exposed. You must sha have something say, because your big mouth must stay busy. Patricia Eteh and Dimeji Bankole were the Speakers during Yar' Adua's tenure, not Good luck's tenure. So because Yar Adua died and Goodluck had to complete the remaining 2 years of his tenure, how should that change the existing NASS leadership arrangement? Goodluck only tenure was 2011-2015, and Tambuwal was the Speaker throughout that tenure!

If you reply me again with your stubborn stupidity, thunder would fire you and of course you'd get no further reply from me.

Now you can see above your nose... Dumbo!

I'm sure you can find a valid reason why the arrangement under the present and incoming administration is going to be the way it turns out. But keep those reasons to yourself because you're the one crying over religion. Bitching mofo.

samsononyilo:
The vice president is a Muslim..

Only one station among the rest? Apparently not enough for that gentleman above.

Yves4real:
Patricia Etteh, as mentioned, was not the Speaker of the House of Representatives during Goodluck Jonathan's tenure. She was during Yar'Adua's tenure and served as speaker between June 2007 and October 2007 before Dimeji Bankole replaced her. It was still Yar'Adua's tenure before his demise. When Jonathan was elected in 2011, a northern Muslim, Aminu Tambuwa, was the speaker. The deputy speaker was Yusuf Sulaimon Lasun, also a Muslim.
In Buhari's tenure, the senate president (Ahmed Lawan) is a northern Muslim, the speaker (Gbajabiamila) is a southern Muslim, and the deputy speaker (Ahmed Idris Wase) is a northern Muslim. 
So, what is new about Muslims clamoring to dominate the APC's government? 🙄🙄
I am waiting for you to fault my submission for being a lie or something.
May God deliver us from liars.

So, why's the gentleman in the OP saying it was loopsided under Jonathan? The fact of the matter is: the three arm of government was once under Christian personalities. I personally don't care about it then, or now, and by your submission, there were mitigating circumstances for the loopsidedness.

However, it's obvious other people were pained then, as some are now, especially for those who refused to acknowledged some similar mitigating circumstances now.

Uchesis:
and the vice president was a christian too abi?

If it's only the vice you can come up with, the man has a point then.

Onyiridike:
Are you sure of what you are saying?
Alhaji Tambuwal is a Christian?
VP Namadi Sambo is a Christian?

Obvious I wasn't definitive. Besides, Tambuwal wasn't the speaker at the beginning. Point is, there'll always be a group with legitimate reasons not to be happy with the "balance". Some are just fond of crying.

blowjohn:
The vice

Knew that. How about other positions. Point is, people who want to complain will always see a reason for complaining.

Tonytonex:
was the VP a christian? That's what makes the difference. Let me do the thinking for you.

I knew the VP was a Muslim. But what's obvious is that during Jonathan's Presidency, there was a time when the religious balanced was not acceptable to everyone. That's the point.

Hedonini:
Don't be stupid. Tambuwal (who is an Igbo bishop abi) was the Speaker for the bulk of Jonathan's administration. I don't know why you people like to peddle useless falsehood just to push a ridiculous agenda.

Don't be a fool (for bringing ethnicity that I don't give a fucccck about).

Tambuwal was speaker for most of his tenure. Who was speakers at the beginning? Maybe that didn't fit your narrative. Idiot.

AK481:
His VP too was Muslim?
Tambuwal HOR speaker is a Christian too ?


Seun can you block this guy for putting put false information - rule 8

I was pretty much only repeating what the OP claimed. While I was aware the vice was Muslim, seemed every other positions were Christian. Who came before Tambuwal?

Hmmm. So, During President Jonathan's Presidency, The President, Senate President, Deputy Senate President, and Speaker were all Christians. And nobody seemed to cry about religion then. What's different this time?

“Obi is, however, very popular, particularly among the young, educated, urban and sophisticated,’’ he said.

The above line says everything about the outcome of the election in my opinion.

Unfortunately for the people who support Obi and belong in the above class, they not only believe this class all voted for OBI, they also naively think it's the ONLY class that voted in the election. Hence, why some of them still genuinely believe OBI won.

It was a good read but the sensationalism was pretty obvious. Adiche was almost singing from the same hymm sheet like a spokesperson for Labour Party. Hard to give a balanced view when your desired outcome was not to be.

Like all elections conducted in Nigeria, the last election was still fraught with credibility issues. However, what I personally don't agree with is the assertion the whole exercise was a sham.

In a country were the majority of the populace vote according to ethnoreligious sentiments, there can never be a universal candidate, and therefore, a universally acclaimed elections.

Peter OBI has gone to court and by all accounts, believes he will get justice. Whether justice favours him or not, time will tell. (Good reason why people of standing, and the media should desist on personal commentaries on matters already in court)

Whether anyone writes to America or heaven, none of that will help change history. Practically speaking, whether President Biden acknowledge Nigeria's election or not, it does not remove or add one jot of legitimacy to it.

shegzhkn:
He's Caucasian and his country happens to be one of the most powerful, he gonna be out soon, the same taliban who are looking for international recognition, lol.

Yeah, he's more useful to the Taliban alive than dead. They'll use him to bargain for favours from his government. Just depends how far his country is willing to negotiate for his freedom.

Always obvious Peter OBI was staging himself as the Christian Candidate in the election. From visiting churches every Sunday to fraternising with Christian leaders, it was always obvious.

Who's actually surprised he would spurn an election a "religious war"?

And simply baffled by those who genuinely think this guy is something different. He was an average governor by Nigeria's standards. And definitely not the best administrator in the race.

We need a strong headed disruptor like El Rufia as minister of power.

This FFK is of no value to anyone. A full-grown child in adult's form. Why anyone would have such an idiot as a spokesman beggars belief.

ozalogbo:
I am the first child of my mother, and I have two younger male siblings. I am doing well financially. My wife is the last of four children in her family. My dad died when I was still in the university, and this affected my mum.

However, as she aged, her health waned. She was a retired teacher. My brothers are not in the country. Both of them are in Europe. I wanted to have my mother stay with me in her later years because of her health and loneliness but my wife did not want it.

Whenever she was ill and I brought her home to be with us, my wife was usually hostile, especially if my mum had stayed beyond a week. She did not hid her disapproval, and this caused problems in the marriage. People advised that I should send my mum away and pay someone to live with her and take care of her. They said that marriage was between a man and his wife, not between a man, his wife, and his mother. I did and peace returned. Eventually my mum passed on after a few years.

Along the line, my father in law also died. And down the line, my mother in law's health began to deteriorate. We live in the same town. Among my wife's siblings she is the only one doing quite well. Now there are suggestions that the mother should come and live with us so that my wife can give her proper care. I believe that her living with us and seeing her grandchildren will help her. And indeed i have no problem accepting her, but when i remember the treatment my wife gave to my mum, there is a strong revulsion, in fact, anger in me. I shared with a friend, and he advised i forgive my wife, but the revulsion is so strong that i would feel cheated if i agreed.

What do you guys think. She reminded me then that marriage was between a man and his wife only. Shouldn't this also apply to my wife now?

Phew. I've read the whole 20 pages this issue! So many divergent views already. Mr, I hope you have the time and patience to go through all of them. Knowing how people reason and think would allow you to set expectations accordingly. The reason why our close friends and family are more capable of hurting us deeply is because we alway expect better [more] from them.

I have to say this though, caring for bedridden, old and sick people is not the easiest tasks in the world, depending on the nature of assistance they need. From where I see it, providing the finance is actually the easier part compared to actually carrying out the caring tasks. [Which one would you prefer to fulfil if you can provide both?]

@bolded
Nevertheless, I think it's understandable that you feel betrayed, and cheated by your wife. Even though I'm not sure the level of assistance your mom needed, It's obvious she never wanted to TRY at the least. She never wanted to be a team player. The idea that she can become hostile because your sick mom stays a week shows her as a bad teammate.

SmartGadgetz:
Seun, you are doing this to save face and heal your conscience after damages has been done already. This is more of a face saving and mind healing post, don't worry, the damages has already been done, remember the consequences must take effects for everything to come back to it's original form, no justice no peace thats the strongest fact.

Before the healing process would take place in the minds of people, this forum and yours, justice must prevail first before healings to take place.


Justice in the sense that, you must consistently tell or post here that election malpractice, violence, voter suppressions, money-induced contests, and falsehood are not good for our great nation.

The mind of people are now damaged by the processes of all the stages of the election and politics, which unfortunately was supported by your teaming forum members, so you must come out from your hideous and senseless shells to be proactive in speaking against or condemning these vices for the proper healing of both your forum and the people.

So, be a voice and stop being deceptive in your ways just to pacify your selfish self.
Bye 👋

Nonsense.

This "and 25% in the FCT" is just like a drowning man grasping at straws for me. There's absolutely nothing special about Abuja, and its people.

To assume that the writers of the constitution intend for Abuja to essentially deny a popular candidate acceptable across the other states of the federation the presidency, is absurd. You can as well conduct the presidential election only in Abuja declare who wins president.

I do have one question for those who claim to support the 25% percent in FCT argument: How do we now determine who won the just concluded elections?

Tinubu didn't secure 25% in FCT.
Atiku didn't win the popular vote.
Obi didn't win the both the popular votes nor get 25% across 2/3 of the states in the country.

How would they determine a president after a runoff?

cococandy:
Thank you.

Yep. tThis forum is his baby. His creation. It can never outgrow him. It can never become too much for him to manage. It just depends on how much money he’s willing to leave on the table when ethnic bigots and chronic misogynists don’t flock the forum anymore due to strict enforcement of anti-hate policies.

I know it’s truly not easy but it’s not impossible.

Stamping out hateful posts would surely not be a simple decision. Obviously, the possible financial ramifications for him cannot be overlooked.

But him coming out with the apologies, we can only hope he's sorry enough to back it up with long lasting changes beyond monetary gains from one ad.

cococandy:
If that were the only problem on this forum I’d be like “No problem apology accepted”. We all make mistakes and no one should be denied redemption if they seek it.

But seun that ad is the least and I mean the very least of the problems you’ve allowed flourish on this forum. I didn’t even see the ad and I’ve been knowing what issues this forum faces.

You allow things that draw traffic to go to front page. And in a country like Nigeria where a lot of bigotry is common, your high traffic areas are ethnic bigotry, misogyny and other phobias. That’s what consistently makes the front page on your forum because that’s where the money lies.

You may not be biased at heart, but you profit from those biases.

I know someone will hit the bullseye with their submission. this touches all the right notes. Pardon the quote, I did it for emphasis sake so the owner has another chance not to miss your home truths.

@Seun, the big questions are:

Are you really bothered enough about the promotion of ethnoreligious divisions on your forum?

Are you really ready to do what it takes to position this forum as a platform for civilize discuss?

And most importantly, are you willing to do whatever it takes? Especially after reading what this poster said above with emphasis on the bolded?


Needless to say, there's only one solution. BANS. Two weeks? Two months? Lifetime? You decide. As long as they are enforced with reckless abandon.

Because the platform is very heavily infested with division champions, you will start seeing a much saner and civil place in less than a month.

The tribal antagonists are quite many, but they are few compared to those they antagonize and provoke. GO FOR THOSE ONES FIRST!

senatordave1:
Pdp is leading in kebbi after 3 lgas by 20,000.nothing from zamfara and Niger

APC will win Zamfara, I don't think that's even a contest. The Supreme court installed Governor had to decamp to the APC so preserve his seat in this election because he knew he isn't winning an election in Zamfara on another platform. All the bigwigs are in APC and they support the governor.

Beremx:
Congratulations to her in advance. I hope the male dominance and supremacy in the north won't affect her administration

So much male dominance and supremacy in the North that they supported and elected her to win a governorship election?

You don't always have to look for the straw man argument every chance you get.

frankson1:
And how many UCL titles have they won since the last 3-1 thumping

1.

frankson1:
Una don start Benzena go use una for suya

It's football, anything can happen - but we can't fear Madrid because we have beaten them before, more than they have.

I wonder what you said when we thump them 3-1 and went on to win the damn UCL ?
