We need unity at this point as a nation and people,our diversity should be our strength. We all suffer when we are divided cos an outsider will take advantage of our stupidity.
MrFourSHIRTS: her own people or tyrants who were murdering innocent civilians?
Good to know, that's the root of inferior complex when you see your God has white anything white will be superior in your eyes and thanks for the insight.
engrchykae: you don't know me,so you don't have to assume that am a typical self loathing African. Amadioha and Sango are our own version of Igbo Zeus and Yoruba Zeus respectively since they are the gods of thunder just as Zeus has the "lightning bolt" Am of the opinion that Africans must worship African gods because when you worship your racial god,you worship and adore yourself and consequently ATTAIN YOUR GODHOOD quickly. When an Indian worships before the statue of the Buddha,he sees himself as god he is worshipping resembles himself. I need linguists and culturally versatile people to help me in this project. That is why Europeans used their image to replace the image of an Asian and Jewish Jesus,that was when Caucasians established themselves as the master RACE,the Chinese and Japanese worship fellow Asian gods that look like them. We are the only race that hate our image
See the passion you put in expressing foreign culture but if you hear SANGO or AMADIOHA you will shout Holy Ghost fire.Africans SMH.
engrchykae: yes you decided the message. Athena couldn't curse a member of the top three Olympians, Poseidon,so she cowardly cursed a mortal, innocent girl. Anyway Medusa had her revenge on the gods when her head was used to destroy the Kraken,the son of Hades whom the Olympians have been using to instil fear on humans. The death of the Kraken, enlightenment and advance of science,ushered in the end of the rule of the Olympians and the beginning of the age of Man. Myths are highly coded Truth
You just dey blow grammar,country that don't know the names and number of its citizens how can they understand the word forensic.
ProfAmaben: From an emotional angle, protesting in this manner shows solidarity and love for the dead, but from a logical angle, it is meaningless.
Passerby rapists would just be smiling and looking out for their next prey who's probably carrying a placard.
The solution to all these rape issues is just a robust database that would have the DNA of everyone. It is totally impossible for someone to rape another without leaving traces of their DNA on the person or even in the person in form of semen, sweat, saliva or even hair strands. The current Bvn system can be updated from only fingerprint to DNA samples of every Nigerian that has a Bvn number. A special forensic unit should be created or if existing, updated, under the Nigeria police force and this team would be well trained for advanced crime scenes such as rape and homicide. Fulani herdsmen killings, Boko Haram etc would drastically reduce because they can be easily caught with this technology. Upon collecting samples from the crime scene, it would be entered into the database and the serial number attached to each DNA would be queried to select the exact owner of the DNA.
Query: SELECT * FROM schema WHERE dna = 737373*73$$42
For you to even reason like this makes you unqualified medical personnel.
Aksnoopy: Useless country! I am presently treating a policeman for a medical condition and I was wondering if I should treat him the same way they treat innocent citizens. Infact, the Hippocratic oath wasn't going to stop me, but for the fact the he was so humbled by his health condition.
Who says you are beautiful "people say am beautiful " don't be full of yourself, if that's truly you which I doubt you won't emphasize on your beauty.
BeautifulWoman: You had think the people of Benin kingdom are smart but Its not obvious in this situation. They allowed Tinubu through Oshiomole control Edo and ridicule the son of a Benin.
Edo state is in the hands of Tinubu and the structure of the state now rests in the hands of Edo North. Its game over for Benins.
But sincerely what is here that you are proud of abeg,this is the reason politicians don't perform, if the government construct small borehole the community will dance like fools without challenging the govt to do more.
Gundel001: Hi good day my fellow Nairalander please I will really need your experience about this issue. Please help me read to the end as it is a little bit long.
My junior brother is 14 years old and to be sincere I haven’t seen anybody as dull as him. I don’t know if it is natural but I just can’t understand why someone at that age could still be struggling with very simple arithmetic. My brother can’t write 1 – 150 correctly at 14.
He seems too dull; note he attends one of the best private school around our area, though I know you might say maybe education is not his way but even if you want to drop out from school you should know some basic things like money, time, multiplication and so on but my brother doesn’t know anything I must say, even to write his name correctly is a problem. It is making everyone unhappy lot of money is being spent on lesson teachers and other things for him still no improvement.
I am a student of one of the top federal University in Nigeria same as my other siblings even at both secondary and undergraduate level we were always above average so I can’t say his problem is genetic. I really wants to know what is the problem with him nairalanders. After I finished secondary school I once taught some pupils in primary school though there were dull ones too there but with time I could see improvement unlike my brother i always try to teach him from time to time but it kind of frustrating as he doesn’t even seems like he will ever grab anything and he doesn’t behave like he wants to learn anything.
He makes it seems as if he is not interested book or arithmetic at all …we all tried talking to him endless time to always read any time he his less busy but he never does except he is being forced.
He rarely talks, he loves to keep to himself always, he doesn’t have interest in anything unlike we the others that are die hard football fans, most times my mom will tell him to even go out to play and mingle he will not still want to go, he prefer to stay at home seating all day without reading or doing anything, even if it is to draw or play football he wont.
This matter is not making everyone happy at home we don’t even know the solution to his problem again, as in imagine having a child that is 14 years old that doesn’t know the difference between 17 and 71 it is just so bad…..
We don’t know if his case is mental or spiritual. please nairalanders I know there are child experts in the house or anybody who have experienced something like this before what do you think is the problem and possible solutions to the problem your contributions are welcome.
I met him while I was serving, he was nice and the only friend I had, I served in a village. While we were serving he doesn’t give me much, I practically kinda fed him cause he was always in my place. He had a roommate and I didn’t. Before he gives me any money we always had issues, not like he doesn’t hv to give. He just doesn’t want to. I don’t even ask for much.
After service we continued dating, he had no job so I told him to get a teaching job he said never ever, he rather follow he’s friends up and down , I kept quite watching what his plans maybe, I hv never asked him for a dim since we finished service mid last year, got a teaching job so taking care of myself.
My birthday would be coming up, his just passed, I told him that I would be expecting some cash on my birthday. We talked today and he’s telling me he spent all he’s money for he’s birthday, that if money comes he will send but right now he has no money, placing me on the probability table, so I said u couldn’t keep the one u would send me, he said people were buying drinks and buying drinks and he couldn’t tell them to stop. Am like are u serious ? I had to remind him that my birthday is few days away and he started saying he won’t be able to send anything. I told him without him doing the needful that there is no us.
Am tired, he has no vision, No focus , no aim , he depends on his friends and it's annoying. I think about he’s future more than he does , he’s always in the present. He’s making me feel like a bad person that he would make it. I hope he makes it but the relationship is so draining and I am 100% faithful to someone with no sense of reasoning. He’s Saying I am dating someone that’s why I want to leave him. He isn’t even addressing the issue we hv on ground .
Never seen these before,me and my siblings grew up in Victoria island and poor people don't have access to my neighborhood not like now .
mizzbouqui: Childhood is the best time. You don’t have many responsibilities. All you have to do is focus on school work, doing your chores at home and of course, play.
Hotzone: Good morning to you. I don’t know if I am over reacting but I proposed to my girl a week ago and she was so excited about it and it was so romantic but I just noticed to my greatest chagrin that she doesn’t wear her engagement ring to work.
So I complained and she said she’s facing some spiritual challenges. We don’t live together as she claims her faith is against it. We work in the same organization and her position is a little higher than mine but I take care of bills concerning her but it seems I am getting tired with much terms and conditions. It’s draining my energy.
Please, I need u to talk to me because I am about to “collect list” from her kinsmen.
icetrimz: I would like to go symmetrical to the point. But before I proceed, I will like to say sorry to whom it may concern. Yes people I did it, I went through her phone. I broke the rule and went against my instincts.
