Idiotic element, who steals more than Hausa and Yoruba people in public service? Useless thing

You're just like that character you're replying. Tribal insult for tribal insult reduced Nairaland to the cesspit it is.

ornicus:
What a bunch of fools. So should other countries also start targeting Nigerians because of yahoo boys? This is the future of Nigeria. A bunch of brain dead settlement chasing youth.

Do they even realise mtn is now on the Nigerian stock exchange?
What does mtn have to do with the activities of criminals?

Does nans not know the way to the SA Embassy?

Anyway, let them continue. The South Africans have thrived in this country because they understand the game. When those nans jokers are arrested, their eyes will clear

Thank you. Unfortunately, those who don't know better are aplauding them. NANS lost it long ago.

She try..its a baby python which is 80% harmless.. I promise to cut my dick if she fit hang rattle snake or viper.

This isn't exactly a baby. But it's tame and pythons are non-venomous. This is a safe play.

gaetano:
Edo politicians have a special kind of ugliness.

Dangote is actually friends with both Obaseki and Oshiomhole. He contributed to Obaseki's emergence as governor. I don't know what happened here though.

boolet:
Lol. Blanks ke? Even if na blanks, at close range, the propellant charges will injure anyone, ordinarily. Without propellant charges, blank ammo will not make any sound.

I'm assuming you watched the video. If they're not blanks, where is the recoil?

Reall? I'm not aware of science and technology o. Is it the name of a car or a female beauty routine? Mr Onu, work harder in your second term.

Sirnuel:
Just look at your life, what is your achievement in life thus far??
People like you are the problem of this country, it is people like you that kept us in this position 60+ years after independence

Tribalism is all you know.

The rich are marrying themselves, Davido is with an Igbo girl

Yorubas control ICAN how does that benefit you in any way?? are you an accountant, are you among the yoruba controlling Ican?? there is a very big chance some of those yorubas controlling ican are married to Igbos, or have Igbo husbands.

but you, poor little you and your wretched life with nothing to show for it.

with the amount of hatred you walk around with, how do you even intend to progress and make it in life??

get a life bro, get a life.

And this, people, is how you give a robust response to these half-brained "Afonja-" and "IPOB-"chanting kids who have turned Nairaland into a tiny barroom of tribal caterwauling and missile throwing, a place where you can't have a good time anymore. This post should be pinned.

GISpro:
No, they're not Sunnis. Each of them is a deviant ideology just as Shia is a deviant ideological group.

The Sunnah is one.

They profess Islam just like you - presumably. They happen to belong to the Sunni side of things. Obviously you don't agree with them or their "ideology". Now, whether they're the deviant ones or you, GISpro, are the deviant one is a matter of your opinion against theirs.

But, ma, are you a member or operative of the Armed Islamic Group (GIS)?

GISpro:
Great Mr President. I stand with PMB.

And I stand against IMN.

And I am a Muslim.

Nigerians will come to appreciate PMB for his fight against shites in Nigeria. Throughout history of Islam Shia have nothing but treachery and bloodshed.

Shia originated from political instability and they've always no tool of penetration than to cause political instability in every place they are.

They're pained because they tried to initiate PMB but he refused. A man like PMB can never join such filthy movement. Never.

If PMB had joined them Nigeria would have been hell on Earth for all Muslims. Shia have no good to offer but treachery and deceit.

Their voice is only loud in times and places of anarchy. May Allaah curse them.

I stand with PMB on this one!

Isis - Sunni
Boko Haram - Sunni
Iswap - Sunni
Jambs - Sunni
Maitasine - Sunni
Osama bin Ladin and Al Qaeda - Sunni
GSPC/FIS/GIS - Sunni
Wahabis - Sunni
Nasir el-Rufai - Sunni
Al Shabab - Sunni
Muric - Sunni

Yeah, Shiites are the bad ones.

You mean they left out Ambode and made space for that crude Akpabio? Interesting.

thesicilian:
It would have cost her essentially the same to pay for everybody in the cinema instead and they all watch it together.

It's not in our nature to think that way. Sorry.

GlorifiedTunde:
Abeg joor!

What would happen if similar groups stage a protest like this in Washington DC close to the White House?

The police would give put up a cordon that they're not allowed to pass. If they attempt to pass it, they'd be given a verbal warning to stop and the section of the law they're breaking would be read to them and inform them that if they continue force would be used against them. If they insist on passing, the police would charge at them with clubs, shields and battons.

There is no world in which police fire live bullets at protesters in DC.

ruggedtimi:
lol el chapo is richer than all the policemen in the world..so what kyari's point

I don't know. I thought criminals are usually richer than policemen. Didn't know policemen are supposed to be rich.

MoneyMan5:
Billionaire in Naira not Dollar Billionaire

Otedola worth 108 Billion Naira

he recently bought a Power Generation Company

Stop giving yourself unnecessary headache

Lol at bolded.

But millionaire or billionaire is generally reckoned in dollars, so I guess that's why he's on about it.

Born2Breed:
"No man be god"

Oshiomole cup go soon full, [b]those House of Assembly members supporting Oshiomole from Edo south [/b]will soon hear whinnn...unless them wan carry their houses and family go sky.

I always knew someone would soon start ethnicising the issue to divide Edo State. How is this an Edo South issue? You must think you're more Bini than the Oba who is working for an amicbale resolution.

Daviddson:
Lol. I laugh at Nigerians who study small Literature, Philosophy, Law, and think they've become too woke and the next thing is for them to begin throwing jabs at the Bible and then becoming atheist.
Alas most of them are in one secret cult or even more. Who are they worshipping or getting favors from, if spiritual powers don't exist? It's a senseless platitude to continue over repeating the statement that the British used Christianity to colonize people. How come they didn't do much of evangelical work in Arab countries, but still colonized them all the same?
Mention one country including China that 'banned' religion that respects human rights. None. They only banned formal religion and replaced it with state and their leaders being the god. In North Korea, citizens are mandated to hang the portraits of their Supreme Leader in their homes and bow to it in reverence. That's a pseudo religion!
Are you saying the Chinese are not a member of the United Nations whose sub-agency came up with the definition of 'human rights' ?

You're right about statism or nationalism being akin to pseudoreligion but it is NOT the same thing as formal religion. Formal religion teaches you to reverence an invisible entity, a Daddy in the Sky who supposedly watches over you, listens to your prayers and helps you through difficulties. Nobody actually places the state or a Kim Jung-un in this position. No, it's not true that most Africans who shun religion or become atheists are into secret cults or look to some spiritual source for inspiration - you're making that up.

Janosky:
JuanDeDios claims he's NOT an apostate. But ,JuanDe LIAR won't admit he's held hostage to his own biases.

Nowhere did I say I am or am not anything – but you can’t read with comprehension, can you? If you seriously think I care what you and the other JW militants here think of me and would waste my time denying anything to you, you need to get a life. Sensible JWs hardly throw that word around. So I only addressed the subject of “apostate” and why little JWs like you always think they can use the word the away a mischievous little child might take a needle to a balloon in their bid to drive the oxygen out of any argument that is not going their way. I would have advised that you try becoming a little sensible but your terrible level of comprehension shows you’re not capable of that.

thesicilian:
That's just an abuse of power by the policeman.

It's not an abuse of power. Arresting her for that would have amounted to a waste of police time since there are real criminals to be caught out there. And she's lucky she wasn't caught by Nigerian soldiers - it would have been koboko or frog jump. That is abuse of power.

VRDroid:
Nice Gesture for the foolish.

It is better to set up a Trust and hire a Law Firm to manage the Estates in Trust for future bloodlines instead of willing it 100% to the less privileged who will not recognize the virtue of hard work.

10%-40% is okay for philanthropy.

Bank Anthony may have been badly hurt so bad by his family and kids that he had to do away with his wealth upon death. Probably did not want to hand over his assets to ingrates.

I could be wrong, and there is nothing absolutely wrong in being wrong.

Like she said, that gesture is deep. Folks like you would never comprehend it.

GidiWoodsMan:
What she did is technically wrong. But in a place like Nigeria where the government is yet to criminalise deliberate transmission of HIV, I think I can agree with the point she's trying to make.

Most people quietly start receiving treatment once they learn of their HIV+ status, but at the same time they struggle to infect as many other people as they can as a form of 'revenge'. Some even neglect to tell their future spouses who eventually contract the virus from them and die in ignorance (the 'slapping senator' Ishaku is a case in point.

What she did is idiotic. The problem you highlighted exist, but "unprofessional" doesn't even begin to describe her for thinking this is the way to address it.

meobizy:
He is probably building immunity to the micro bacteria present in expired foods.
The human body is an amazing work of art, engineering and biology.
I had peanut butter which expired and stayed for two months past the date.
The mold present in the content was enough to make me think twice about consuming it.

Once there's mould, you should throw it away. His point is that some things are still ok to consume whatever the date stamped on them. He's not the first to make this point.

oderinde151:
Sometimes I feel that Nigeria is just some kind purgatory where millions of souls are being sent to suffer and die for every known and unknown crimes they commited in their previous lives.

Honestly, I've been telling friends this, but they don't believe me.

Mynd44:
I hope when women say they can't work with men and refuse to employ men to work with then, men don't complain. This issue goes both way and as much as it is for safety, it also has a larger impact on society



But this part is crap. It is not sexist; he just does not think he is safe in close quarters with you and wants a "bodyguard".

On a separate note sha, if a white man says he is not comfortable being around black people alone so he needs a chaperone, it will come off as racist.

Weird world

Apples and oranges. Being alone with a woman can expose a man to sexual harrassment allegations or vice versa.

9jaBloke:
The probe should be extended to all government organisations including EFCC and ICPC

Seconded. In fact, it should start from these two.

OLAADEGBU:
From what link did you copy this article from, care to share?

I wrote it on my laptop, sir. Care to explain why you think it was copied?

*Oh, I see you asked the question before reading the post.

Apostate. The magic word. I read a book today where the author said most people don’t think. I guess that’s why smart and capable people hardly win election – the vast majority of people don’t care about facts or logic, they’re held hostage by their emotions and only care about their own biases. It’s not just the touts above who use this word “apostate” whenever the argument is not going their way – most Witnesses do, especially online. Even sincere believers like Human Hair and Maximum69 might succumb to it sometimes. The tout above saying I’m an apostate using monikers I’d never even seen (I rarely come to the religion section) is just an instance. He would bluster and lie just to ensure only his “truth” is heard. Here’s why they call people apostate when they’ve nothing to say in response.

When a Witness comes to your door he will win every argument and that’s what he’s used to. He wins every argument, not because he’s right and you’re wrong, but because he’s trained and you’re not. In the words an American Terry Waestrom, “churches don’t teach logic and refutation, but Kingdom Halls do.” So that Witness standing at your door has been trained on exactly what to say to you in every possible scenario – if you say you have a headache, or that you’re a Catholic or that they should try next door. And this programmed ability to respond reinforces his belief that he’s right and everyone else is wrong and doomed.

The day he encounters someone who shows him from the Bible or with logic that he’s wrong, what does he do? That’s like playing chess with a pigeon and winning – the pigeon jumps on the board and scatters it with her legs. So the Witness responds the way he’s been trained to – call you an “apostate”. This is what they all do. You can’t understand the power of indoctrination or mind control until you study the Witnesses. I have. (But I think a man giving up his military career of saving innocent lives from terrorists to start going house to house and boasting about it should give you an indication of the possibilities)

Understanding the Witnesses, if you’re interested, is not a day job. You’d have to read tomes from websites and books written by scholars that have studied the religion as well as former members. There are anti-Witness websites that lie about them and twist their teachings - you must avoid those and read only websites that stick to the facts of which there are many. Otherwise, if you’re just a regular church person, forget it – they have everything you’re going to say already thrashed.

An average witness is under the illusion that he knows Bible. But he does not. Yes, he reads the Bible a lot but lacks understanding since all he does is follow some pre-packaged interpretations that sometimes change like my niece’s make-up face. 99% of churchgoers don’t know their Bible too, so the Witness will “win” the argument every time because he’s been trained to use hot button verses in critical situations. I’ve already shown above that Witnesses don’t’ know what Jesus said about house to house preaching. Let me give you another example of their cluelessness – 144,000 and heaven.

The mistake they – and almost everyone (like Mr Olaadegbu) who criticises their teaching on the matter – make is focusing on 144,000 instead of the real issue: the Great Crowd and WHERE Revelation 14 clearly says they’re standing: HEAVEN! (Rev 19:1; 7:15; 11:19; 14:17). Yes, the verses place the great crowd in heaven but your average JW knows the Bible too much to know what it actually says rather than what he’s been told it says. Like I told HumanHairLovers, life is far easier when someone thinks for you.

Edoloaded:
The comments above is the reason why Nigeria is how it is today. And why this country might never get better.

In saner countries noise pollution is a criminal offence especially in residential areas.

Someone will just put block factory close to residential homes. And instead of these so called citizens to give a fellow concerned citizen ways to bring them to justice they are telling him to relocate..

We Nigerians deserve the leaders we get. Let's keep suffering it.. abeg any one reading this if you have the chance to leave this country run oh,

You dey mind them.

Officialgarri:
There's a popular church (name withheld) who sighted their own old lister generator a distance away from their church but right behind our house windows.

The noise and the generator fume is sickening. We talked to the pastor, yet they refused to relocate it. We have left them for God

You can report to MoE if you're in Lagos. This matter can be redressed either through arbitration or a tort action in court. Talk to a laywer.

ogmask:
Do you know the exact date the production was stopped?

She did not mention the month. She has only giving us another angle to look at. For me , the truth is somewhere waiting for the right time to speak. These back and forth are just accessories...

Yea. But Kemi didn't mention the month either, so Godyke made a valid point. Some drinks have been in my house for over a year. Still, it's ok for Kemi to raise these.

Xisnin:
The Punch management are idiots.
They sacked brilliant editors because some snowflakes expressed outrage over an instructive illustration.
Shame on Punch.

I get that people are offended by this and would understand one or two suspensions. But all those sackings? The Nigerian newspaper industry is a talentless pool of quacks and letting the few good editors you have go is a huge mistake they'll pay for.

AutoReportNG:
Earlier today, AutoReportNG published some exclusive photos of the UNN's electric car. The car which was applauded by the Director-General of National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) was quoted saying, “The council is happy that UNN is the first to prepare a paper design and produced electrical car that has been unveiled and test-run today in the university.

Does he have a name? I assume not. Or maybe someone needs to start putting together a proposal to teach our bloggers how to write properly.
