Afonja and Igbo

Once people start using these words just know that the argument has gone tribalistic and nothing constructive will come out of it.

Thank you. You just wrote the first two things I had in mind. Once I open a political thread and see that nonsense, I just close it because the purpose of the thread has been rendered useless.

General shortening of words is not too good for me. Example: wen re u cuming 2 c ur pple/pipu. U are cr8z

Okay

kn23h:
Wow and I thought you have sense.

And you pretend well o, so you're a hardcore tribalist.

Are you any different?

why is every issue tribalised?

The funniest thing is that some parents usually lead their children to wrong career path just because they want them to study courses that will make them brag to their friends and neighbours

Exactly!!! This one is very annoying! For God's sake allow do what they feel they're good at. You as a parent can only supervise, guide and encourage them. Some parents are seriously not alright

Jigba:
Yea exactly!
That's a cute baby on your dp though

Thank youuu

lovelygurl:
Lol don't mind them. Culture this culture that, yet they have more jeans and suits than agbadas in their wardrobes

how many parents even know their traditions totally and their so called "identity" before passing it to their children.

Jigba:
One day the so-called culture you want to preserve won't be there anymore, that's a fact!

it's fast fading already. People seems to be more concerned about Eurocentric standards these days

My opinion:

I do encourage even though it's has a good side and bad side. It's good when they are able to learn about, embrace and respect each other's culture. The parents will know which language to teach the children first and stuffs like that.

But some cultural beliefs are barbaric even you sef will wonder what your ancestors were thinking when they made those rubbish beliefs.

lovelygurl:
Tribe/race should not even be a factor when it comes to marriage. Those are extremely shallow "qualities" to look for.

To those shouting culture but still come here to use a language, which is not theirs and can even speak those languages more than their so called mother languages. Culture changes CONSTANTLY. There's no such thing as preserving culture. That's what culture is, it is meant to change

Na so na.

Mstcheeeeew

You go chop cereal and noodles tire.

The traffic below is something else.

I think this is mere attention seeking. 'pynt'

Jamb has said their own. The institutions will do what suits them perfectly.

I BELIEVE WHAT THE MAN WAS TRYING TO SAY WAS THAT AVERAGE NIGERIAN PARENTS COULD NOT AFFORD TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES. WHERE AS, THE GENUINELY RICH FEW, THE CORRUPT ONES(SOME CIVIL SERVANT AND SOME POLITICIANS) COULD EASILY DO. PAINFULLY, THESE SET OF PEOPLE ARE THE DECISION MAKERS IN NIGERIA TODAY AND SO FAR THEIR WARDS ARE NOT ATTENDING PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES THEY WILL NEVER GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ASUU. MIND YOU THE MAN WAS SPECIFIC, HE SAID "CORRUPT CIVIL SERVANTS "

I reason along. They send their children abroad and waste the life of the others in federal universities. Imagine their kids also went to a federal university, will they watch them strike away their lives? I for one thinks that No Nigerian politician should send his or her kiddo broad to study. They should all be sent to federal schools so that they can feel the stings that the average Nigerian parent feels when they seat down and keep dragging issues like what I don't understand

Nigerian students go through a lot really in the hands of these ones.

Shaving stick for spiritual exercise?. I still cannot believe this level of gullibility of going nude by the command of a pastor.

Benita27:
All of the above.

Look at those claws called nails. Some girls sef.

claws

lovelygurl:
Lol..with hammer and spanner

But seriously, the sad thing about this whole thing is they pass their self hate down to their children

Yeah it's really sad. I hope it doesn't become a generational something. It's too bad to raise children with the mindset of dark skin being a defect or something.

lovelygurl:
Minus me too

But seriously, the self hate is real

it's really real. I have lovely dark skinned people who bleached and turned to something else. Some people's mentality and perceptions towards issues like this needs to be fixed with hammer and spanner.

lovelygurl:
Exactly! Especially since cooking is not even a talent. It's a skill, everybody either man or woman should he capable of doing.

If both are working from 9-5, it's only normal for them to share the domestic chores between each other. If it's only one of them working, it's only understandable that the other has to do the chores, either man or woman. It shouldn't be a big deal.

That's to me what marriage is about, being a partner to your err partner . It's not selfish

Abi oo.

lovelygurl:
Loool, seriously it's tiring. She got what she wanted though, attention from men who want to protect their non exsistent ego

See ehn, When a woman shoulders the responsibility of a man it's usually tiring for her especially for a long period of time. If the man doesn't have something doing, at least help your wife out domestically. When she goes to hustle for you and her, do what you can do at home. I also said the woman shouldn't sideline cooking entirely and leave it to the husband. When she's free too, she can cook too for them and that shouldn't bring insults to the man. If the couple understand each other properly, they'd handle this maturely. They should help one another peacefully till the man gets another job. Even in a scenario where the man and his wife are both working, some men still help their wives out. Anyhow sha even if I type from now till tomorrow, who want to cook will cook and he who doesn't want to cook will not cook.

;DTeaching him how to cook isn't bad too if he doesn't know how to.

lovelygurl:
This is why Africa will forever remain backward. Poorest continent in the world, also in mentality.

They never want to move forward, always bringing stuffs from 1300.

Smh.

Well she's right in a way. If she's now carrying all the financial burden due to one circumstance or the another, the husband has to help her out at home with some dosmetic chores and not just leaving everything to her when he has nothing doing. But, that doesn't stop you as a woman from cooking too when you're free as well and have time. This is because some like to take advantage of everything! If you're still footing the bills and he's ordering you about and is not ready to get back on his feet as a man, then take actions when and where necessary. I hope her definition of breadwinner correlates with mine. Some people and the way they think.

lovelygurl:
Exactly! Especially the fact that some ladies, in fact most Nigerian ladies AND guys really do not even know what feminism is.
Their interpretation of it seems to be misandrists.

Some are even so twisted

You open a thread of a lady paying for the bills of perhaps a date and then you read comments like

"And some women will be forming feminists"

Lool, isn't it more likely she paid for her meal because she's 1 rather than otherwise

Doesn't feminism mean equality

indeed it is twisted. More bashing loading, OP must have braced herself for whatever cometh.

lovelygurl:
I know right. It was extremely low of her even if she's against feminism

Yeah. I know SOME ladies misunderstand the concept of FEMINISM but the points she was trying to make, I don't understand where she's coming from. And like some have said, not everyone is a Christian and people see things differently.

I don't know what to think of the writeup seriously. Even if you don't stand for feminism, it's cool cos not all women are feminists. But this came out wrong. You totally down talked the females and it wasn't necessary. I seriously don't know if you wrote this for other reasons but well, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.

eating flowers? Hahaha!!! Are they goats or cows?

I do not blame the Pastor but the members who left their brain at the entrance of the church.
very soon he will tie ropes on their neck and drag them on the floor to eat grasses.
Kudos Pastor keep feeding them till their eyes clear.

One chance

The man right now

Leez:
Wetin he for do if say na last e carry?

Most of the time, The before Pictures are the ones being Annoyingly photoshopped to promote their Make-Up Business Or whatever Name it's being called.


Went to a makeUp school-Centre in lasgidi and had myself all dolled up Only to find my before pictures on Instagram looking Hideous and repugnant, They Photo-shopped it beyond redemption...Saw Repulsive Spots that seemed so palpable, It gave me goosebumps.

MORALE: don't believe everything you see on the internet. It's all cooked up junk!

I thought as much why their faces are also hideous before the makeover session. I've seen many ladies without makeup and it isn't as bad as this. You're right, it's give us an impression that they did well
