The hash tag had me smiling

Oya make una show-your-working of how you made it o, equation must balance

Madam let us hear word... U're going for his money. Hope you come out unscathed, goodluck to you

I love this! Archiving straightaway!

Thanks Op

Skepticus:
Una must always defend rubbish! Typical trashy sentiments from Nigerian football fans.

What has the referee done to deserve such insults from an adult who has refused to grow up and act like an overpampered baby.

The two of you should read the whole crap you wrote and ask yourselves quietly:

"Do we have sense?"

What insults, did you hear it? He was infringed on and deserved a free-kick. Why is Atletico always given a Red card in most games against Barca? They can as well be giving Ramos and Suarez cards in all their matches cos they're always indisciplined. We should'nt always shy away from the truth!

Isn't that a toothpaste tube and bread

I hope the 'science students' are not trying to bring a new invention o! cos i'm very sure that toothpaste will buy him butter, mayonnaise or tea to go with the bread

As you're building banana, orange, mango etc islands for the rich, why not consider the poor too and build low-cost estates that we can afford just like Jakande did

Sow wind and reap whirlwind. Sow lies and reap falsehood.

The pastor started d falsehood by not telling his wife his health status before marriage 'tort of deceit'. Unknowing to him, his wife must have found out from someone else and decide to save him from the shame.

She also extended the falsehood by having babies from another man/men.

It all started from a faulty marital foundation. Better call her and settle what you started amicably. At least the kids have a right to know who their real father is

4 years between us.

Maybe a rash decision. But a better reply from her isn't bad either.

Relationship is more than a job...you invest your time, money, resources, emotions, and every decision you make, you make it with the other person in mind.

I've shared my plans with for this year and next. What she told me she wanted...I added it to my plans. What else am I suppose to do? We've talked about all these

You seem like a good guy, if all you've said is true. However, if you feel you can put up with her naivety and non-chalancy, you could just make up.

Buh left to me, I'd rather you leave her be and find someone who's more matured and reasonably humble

How old is the lady? Because she comes across like someone still pretty young who doesn't know what she wants already. It appears you wanted the best for her, but she's not ready to give it her all.

Who doesn't ask for permission to get something better than present?
Who doesn't ask questions when a partner decides to leave a relationship? I can't believe she just casually made that comment on the breakup

IMO, she's naive and inexperienced.

But OP, u sef made a rather fast decision. The purpose of relationships is to know the other person better, and to make better that part of them we feel is not right.

You should have held on a while, perhaps sit her down and tell her where u think things aren't right with her. Let her say d same of you too, then both of you can arrive at a compromise.

Relationship is a job on its own, you can't find a perfect person. It takes a lot of hard work from both parties to make things work

1. Topic should be 'Leaving'

2. I think u were a victim because u seemed desperate to have a man because you became too conscious of your age.

3. You need to stop thinking about your age and focus on how you'd take good care of your child.

4. Be prayerful, be sociable and most importantly, show your love and attention as much as you can to your kid. Then see how happy you'd be. Seeing your child grow and making him happy alone sef, will make you glow and happy.

You might just not need a man in your life afterall.

I pray you find comfort

I guess they're just trying to gain people's attention to the station

I can't even remember the last time I tuned my TV to Silverbird

Churchill sef f**k up big time... why e go marry this kain chimpanzee... why

I thought I was the only one who thought he was making a big mistake back then

Cute little pumpkin

Can he even carry those legs, talkless of the mop

Some girls ehn!

She didn't tell us how she risked her life just for a blind date now o, she didn't tell us of the pleasures and escapades now o. She wnt come n tell us she spent a week in the guy's house now o, and that they both had fun o.

Later, she will go on IG, Facebook or wherever they spew their trash, and be shouting, blowing big big grammar about men.

Women are their own problems most times

GlorifiedTunde:
First it was TB Joshua and Jim Tike, Now it's Lukaku and Oge Okoye

That got me cracking. Lukaku ke

Eeya. Unforeseen occurences everywhere in the land. No one knows who's next

May we not experience calamities beyond our threshold

Highly educating and easy to understand.

I'm always conscious of how fresh my breath is cos mouth odour is a big turn-off for me.

It can be embarrassing and it causes low self-esteem

I wonder why everyone is worried about ManU. They might just come to surprise us. Football is unpredictable

Lovely!
He still looks vibrant.

He was our neighbour's favourite when we were still very young. I remember how we danced to his songs as kids then, even though we didn't really understand what he was saying

These ones are obviously frustrated

This is a nice thread. Lots of good advice and full of lessons

Manuel69:
Hello guys
Came across this thread few mins ago and I'm glad am not alone.
At a point in my life, I felt I was weird. Different and weird.
I prefer staying indoors all through instead of associating. I don't attend parties or social gathering. I hate crowds. I know am an introvert but the sad part about everything is am also shy. Extremely shy. I can't even start up a conversation with the opposite sex

Welcome to the club

If she is your blood sister as you claim, talking to her about it shouldn't be a big deal. In fact, you should have joked about it, the 2nd time she did that. Like jokingly asking 'what are you staring at' or jokingly saying 'why are you looking at me like dt'.

She might just be curious, but if you want to help her morally, tell your parents about it, it's their job to sexually educate her, not you.

If she had not been wearing that sort during courtship, she'd not choose it for her wedding. This is rather too revealing, what is she advertising sef?

I stay on the Island, and I'm surprised that for the past 3 weeks there has been a steady availability of power supply. If at all it's going to be interrupted, it doesn't go off for long 'as usual', say 30mins or 1 hour tops and we hear a shout of their popular eulogy 'Up Nepa'.

Does it mean without an election forthcoming, Nigerians cannot enjoy the dividends of democracy at will? I remember the same thing happened in 2015. Or Is it just a coincidence?

Just curious

Fellow Nairalanders, please share with us the situation of 'light' in your area.

If Nigeria had a surname, Disaster would’ve been a fitting fit. She would’ve come to be known as Nigeria Disaster – a befitting reflection of who she truly is. Just like the US is called the United States of America and Britain goes by the family names, Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Or, what do you call a country without a soul; a judiciary waltzing with corruption, a scandalous legislature and a woeful executive? It’s an absolute disaster when an oil rig produces water, a soldier ant scares a soldier, and a 20-year-journey is all about motion without movement.

February 17 is my birthday. May it not turn a sad day, I pray.

February 16 is the day Nigeria would go into labour and the world would hold their breath to see the fruit of her four-year pregnancy. The baby will be an ‘abiku’, I can loudly predict. It will never be a newborn. Because the seeds that fertilised the eggs shot forth from the loins of two genetically-deformed fathers claiming the same baby. The first father, Mallam Ethnic Bigot, forcefully led the rape of Nigeria over three decades ago. The baby from that painful coitus was not only malformed, it died at infancy. Today, the mallam is an epitome of flawless inefficiency. The other father, Mallam Bureau de Change, shot into limelight in the new era. The babies he helped father on two occasions were born blind, deaf, dumb and dead. If these two principalities had fathered ‘abikus’ in the past, one would expect Nigeria to get a young and virile man to roll in the hay with her, in the hope that the product of the union would be a bouncing baby, either a boy or a girl. But with a surname that is Disaster, our dog can’t do more than eat its vomit while our pig gets the mud for a bed.

February 17 is the day after the Nigerian presidential election. I pray blood doesn’t rain down on the country in the preceding days of the election, on the D-Day and the days after. I pray February 16 won’t be a day Nigeria’s most famous scapegoat, Mr Devil, would walk the Nigerian space shopping for heads, limbs and innards. Because I know the election will never be complete without bloodshed! And the blood to be shed won’t be that of the current impotent tenants of Aso Rock or the rapacious prodigals craving a comeback after 16 years of revelry ruination. I fear as February 16 crawls on us like the tarantula, spurning its intricate web over the paralysed eagle.

Today, I remember the late Tai Solarin, the atheist, whose baptismal name was Augustus. In 1952, as the principal of Molusi College, Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, Solarin cancelled morning prayers and religious studies as a subject in the school. His ‘re-education’ campaign didn’t go down well with the Ijebu Igbo community, where his brother was also a reverend. After his apostasy ran into an opposition, he quit the job to establish and run, with his late co-atheist wife, Sheila, the illustrious 8,000-student capacity Mayflower School, Ikenne. Stinking and stagnant religiosity didn’t emigrate to Nigeria from Jerusalem and Arabia on the back of a camel yesterday, it was birthed in the maternity ward of culture contact that imposed colonial imperialism over an unfortunate race.

Despite her globally renowned slogans, ‘In God we trust’, and ‘God bless America’, the United States’ elementary, middle and high schools don’t teach religious studies, yet the country respects God and human diversity. Nigeria, where the loudest noise pollution booms from churches and mosques – in the form of worship – disdains God and humanity. I know that thousands of the students who attended Solarin’s school were the children and wards of bishops, pastors, sheikhs and imams across Nigeria. But I’m still curious to know why many Nigerian devil-is-a-liar believers sent their children to the school of the popular ‘pagan’. Was that hypocrisy, acceptant realism or tolerance?

In his New Year wish for Nigerians on January 1, 1964, Solarin said, “May your road be rough!” Solarin’s greeting, which was contained in a letter, preaches vision, hard work, determination and resilience. When Nigeria was setting out on her democratic journey 20 years ago, little did she know that she was on the road to nowhere. If someone had predicted in 1999 that the democratic dispensation, after 20 years, would produce pains instead of gains and division instead of dividends, Nigerians would’ve disagreed. Today, the country stands regrettably on the threshold of another historic election, ruing two decades of waste, unfulfilled promises and paradise lost. From the impunity, selfishness and greed of the Olusegun Obasanjo-Atiku Abubakar years to the short-lived, static Umaru Yar’Adua-Goodluck Jonathan years and the legitimised corruption of the Jonathan-Namadi Sambo years, to the Muhammadu Buhari-Yemi Osinbajo know-nothing era, it is certain that all the four successive leaderships that have steered the ship of the Nigerian state since 1999 should have, at best, headed roadside shops selling padlocks, nails and hoes, and not come anywhere near the corridors of power because the masses, whom democracy seeks to promote, have been utterly dehumanised by them.

If not that our surname is Disaster, the Obasanjo-Atiku administration wouldn’t have mishandled the Bakassi Peninsula crisis and lost the whole of the oil-rich region to Cameroon. The administration wouldn’t have mismanaged billions of dollars on non-provided infrastructure, corruptly impeached successive Senate presidents, defied court orders and criminally sought a third term. But for our surname that is Disaster, Patience Jonathan wouldn’t have forfeited N1.04bn to the government and still struts about freely today. A confirmation of our Disaster surname is the nepotistic Buhari-Osinbajo lame-duck presidency, whose perpetually ‘unaware’ arrowhead, Buhari, should have long retired from politics and be at home treating his undisclosed infirmities. Our Disaster surname is the reason why several indicted and some jailed members of the Peoples Democratic Party are shamelessly mounting podiums to campaign today. It’s the reason why Atiku said he would continue with the policies of the Obasanjo years if elected. It’s the same reason why people hail the Buhari-Osinbajo government despite obvious incompetence, underachievement and lopsided anti-corruption fight.

While Nigeria’s political class stockpiles funds, arms and ammunition for the war of February 16, 2019, a look at how elections are conducted outside the country would bury our surname, Disaster, in shame. An Ilora-born Nigerian living in the US, Femi Ojewole, shares his voting experience: “Voting in the US is a pleasurable experience; you’re free to take pictures with people and the electoral officers, and the whole voting is done in about three minutes. You’re even given candies to eat after voting. No policeman in sight, no stampede and your vote is counted by the computer, which immediately shows that your vote is accepted.


“Electronic accreditation had been sent to all citizens earlier in order for them to know where to vote. Early voting, which is voting before the Election Day, is permitted; all you need to do is go to the courthouse nearest to you and vote. This is for those who may not be available to vote on Election Day or who don’t want to wait till Election Day.”

No gift of clairvoyance is needed to reach the following conclusions:

Atiku will fault the outcome of the election if Buhari wins and vice versa.
Life will continue to be short and brutish under either of the two.
Politicians will defect to the winning party after the election.

The above-mentioned conclusions are easy to reach because there’s no evidence to show that we’ve learnt anything from the pitfalls of our past. The docile and largely uninformed masses have not helped matters either, acquiescing to the manipulative whims of the political class.

Indeed, our road has been rough, very rough and disastrous.
