Also from the report, *According to an executive at Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), the biggest challenges facing the tech ecosystem in the north are closely tied to the availability of digital talent and funding."
Now that I think of it, I rarely ever stumble on techies from and resident in the north on social media. While Amoto insists the South underrates and stereotypes the North, evidence show it's just what it is.
Interesting also that the Tech Cabal writer for this article is a Northern female.
when you or they say 'the north', I'm curious to know which geopolitical zone in the north theyre referring to.
Ishilove: This is ridiculous. Some families turn this bride list thing to a sort of poverty alleviation programme
all the more reason why the men, after paying such hefty sum, always have this irrefutable belief that they own the bride. After all, the bride didn't pay squat.
Persephone1: [i]"Marry a typical Nigerian Man at your own peril"
When I type these words, it's not from a place of hate towards men ( I don't hate anybody) It is from careful analysis of marriages to Nigerian Men which mostly lack genuine love, empathy and kindness. Nigerian Marriages are mostly driven by "needs" and "means" to an end. Too systematic and unnatural and the one with the highest bargaining chip gets the most benefit.
Our mothers didn't teach us enough about Men. They didn't know either until they got married, unfortunately they are still learning about Men too. That is why the popular saying "Ile oko ile eko ni" (Your husband house is a school) is usually the soothing balm to unfavourable experiences a wife has with her husband. One question I always ask myself when I hear these words as parting words of advice for young wife is. Does that mean she is getting married into a strange,unknown and possibly unfavourable world? Why represent her husband as an unending course? And will she ever graduate and be relieved of painful lessons?. Ask these women these questions and they will shake their heads in mockery but the truth is, They weren't taught enough about the Men they are getting married to. How would they when they didn't know who they are either. To understand another person there must be a certain level of self awareness you have reached yourself. This way you have enough level of intelligence to be a perfect judge of character. But when a woman believe all she needs to be is a good cook and good konji reliever then all she will seek is a man who has Kitchen and bed.
Men are the worst in this joke of an institution. Configured to believe all they need to posses is Financial ability to provide. The upbringing of the typical Nigerian Man is very very wrong. Trained with little to no empathy,kindness, self care, sense of belonging, self love but burdened with sense of responsibility brought up like a robot to "provide" only. Most Nigerian men are robotic minded, unable to connect emotionally without aide yet this men are expected to naturally see their brides as a part of themselves. Wishful thinking if you ask me. And when some men luckily achieve this, the society (Men and Women) mock him. Aside this, they don't readily know what they want and are easily tossed by the society.
We create a society devoid of emotional engagement but want the benefits emotions birth. Compassion and affections brings liberty, a man who lacks these will see his wife as his slave and property, he gets to do with her what he seem best and not what is good for her. We really have a long way to go as a Society.
Nigerian Men make terrible horsebands
A round of applause to you for making hasty generations. 👍
I am impressed, atleast for a Nollywood movie, it not only captivated me, but it was awesomely amazing.
Watching Kehinde Bankole and Damilola Adegbete is always refreshing... they're hawt, evening without exposing the deliverables.... A good movie, nonetheless.
iamoyindamola: Seun want traffic na He's enjoying it
and profiting from it. Perhaps one day when Nairaland is subpoenaed, he will have a rethink...
Imagine saying "every nairaland member is responsible for what they post on Nairaland, then he will go ahead and edit a topic just to make it catchy amd put it on fromt page... Like how tha hell will someone be responsible when their comments has been edited? 🤷♀️
A 44-year-old man broke down in tears during a live radio interview after DNA test showed he is not the father of all the kids his wife bore for him.
Mr Kola, from Ikire in Osun State, and his wife Toyin Arike have 4 children together – Ayomide, 16, Sarah, 12, and two other kids aged 8 and 5 years respectively.
DNA test was conducted on all 4 kids at the DDC DNA Diagnositic centre in Alakoko, Osogbo, and the result showed that Mr Kola is not the biological father of any of the kids.
Choi. A wicked reality. I wonder how that so called wife of his will feel now.
Can't even think of what that man will be going through now. The deception, the lies, the Conceit etc...
folake4u: Everybody keeps saying I'd enjoy GOT. I guess I'm just lazy to watch it.
Hahaha. Maybe, maybe not.
Probably in my next life, I'd be a forensic investigator, a psychologist working with high profiled criminals, murderers or a criminologist, or an ordinary olopa.
Ah well, it's in your hands... but in your spare time, try watching it, you'll absolutely love it, especially as you'll binge watch.
GloriousGbola: One psychometric test I took years ago said I should be in law enforcement based on my values
I've not watched Game of Thrones, but I get your point.
Anna had those men under her thumb. I loved it for her, they revealed their vulnerability.
I'm sure you'll love it.
Lol. I've always loved crime, the thinking process of criminals and all of that and wanted to join the Police Force at a younger age but a a relative said "Over his dead body". I was discouraged from pursuing that path.
LOL. All in all, you should have studied criminology, instead of law. I'm sure you'd have gotten almost exactly what you wanted.
folake4u: Anna was smart. Very smart. I applauded her very well.
I comot hand when she was knacking the two opposite agents.
I've once fantasized about being a member of the Secret Service, DSS, CIA, particularly KGB.
She was smart no doubt, but she did use the power of her pussy. It's the same with Cersei Lannister. Smart and devious as Hell, but she damn well knows there are things being smart and devious alone can't help her accomplish, that's why she nacked her way there.
It's the same with Anna. Navking the CIA agent as well as the KGB agent made them put their guard down, and it gave her the upper hand.
What made you have second thoughts about being spy?, I'm curious to know.
Ishilove: Oh, that movie. I've seen the poster but I was never motivated to download it.
Yeah that movie.
You should watch it. Just focus on the action and of course, the nacking. It's eye opening. Lol. Believe me it's worth it. 👌
