I know Boko Haram sect wants Islamic State. What exactly does ISWAP sect wants from Nigeria?

Are they just psychopaths?

What is the meaning of ISWAP?

My point still remains that....if yhu think yhure a perfect catch because yhu have money then yhure a clown...

Please, why do you keep writing 'you' as 'yhu'? It's not like it saves time for you, as both of them are 3 letters. Why do you prefer to mess up your writing? Do you really find it fun reading you as yhu? Even if you do, it's not right writing in that manner when you expect the public to read what you've written. Any write up meant for the public becomes a formal writing, and you should avoid using casual terms.

Topleague:
it is world over my brother, the supply chain is disrupted. Ask people that do import how much is to send container from China pre covid era and now, the inflation even in US is unprecedented and not only there but all over the world. This is not an excuse for Buhari regime but this thing will be with us for a very long time. Tight your belt because we are going on a roller coaster

Which world over? Do you live outside Nigeria?
If you do, is there any item where you live which price has increased more than 50% since January 2020? In most serious countries, price increases for most items are much less than 20%. Some are even around 5%.
In Nigeria on the other hand, prices of most things have doubled and tripled, and in some cases even quadrupled. That's a whopping 100-300% increase.
Is it not clear to you that it is more of a leadership problem?

ddippset:
Ok lemme put it this way, maybe you and your ilks would understand.

Anambra has 2 million voters.

You people expect 200 thousand voters to come out and vote Andy Uba.

Remaining 1.8 million voters right?

So why didn't Soludo and the PDP guy get a total of 1.8 million votes since you expected eveyone to come out?


The point is not whether Uba should have won or not.
The point is also not whether Uba forged that 200k number in his primary because I know he did.

My major grouse here is those expect Andy Bus to have 200k votes in the main election because he got 200k votes in the primaries...

How is that even possible? How? Even all the contestants barely had 200k votes total!

That has got to be the most idiottic logic in the history of mankind.

You don't write sensibly at all!

To start with, nobody is saying Andy Uba must have had 240k votes. The point in question is the disparity between the total votes he got in the primaries versus the total he got in the actual election.

Let me make it a bit simpler. In the primaries, only APC members voted. In the general election, many of the voters do not belong to any party. What that means it that out of the 43k votes that Andy Uba got, a good proportion of them came from non-APC members. If we assume that half of the people who voted for him don't belong to any party, it means only about 10% of the supposed voters in the primaries turned out for the main election.

If 200k people were eager to see him fly the flag of APC in the election, how come ordinary half of them did not show up during the main election to make sure they brought him into power?

You're asking how come 1.8m people didn't vote for the other candidates. How did you arrive at the fact that APC has only 200k supporters in Anambra? That 200k APC members voted for Andy Uba during primaries, does that translate to APC having only 200k members?

Can you see that your argument is absolutely senseless?

Agree with me on what? Have I made a statement prior to this, or are you discombobulated already? Like I said, go back to your school, and ask for a refund if they never taught you about genetics.

Maybe you're the one who actually knows little to nothing about genetics.

Short parents having a tall child is more like an exception, not the rule.

Imagine... When with N200, guys don cut hair for here.

I hope you're skilled in it though. so you don't cut off your ear .

I once had a colleague who traveled to the UK. For the two years he was there, he couldn't get a haircut or even Clean shave. He came back home looking like king jaja of Opobo.

I don't envy certain things about you guys. Biko.

To start with, you can get a haircut in most parts of the UK for £10-20. To put that into perspective, people who earn minimum wage earn about £9 per hour. That means with 1-2 hours wage, a minimum wage earner can have a hair cut.

How much is minimum wage in Nigeria? I guess a max of 30k per month. For someone who works 40hrs per week, that's ₦187.5 per hour.

Update From . COM

A lady caused a stir on social media after she shared photos from her private wedding, Reports.

From the photos she shared as Obtained By , it appears the only people present at the wedding were the bride, her husband, and the officiating Minister.

The said bride posted the photos and wrote;

''My perfect little private wedding''

See Photos As Obtained By Below:

What of the photographer?

Every marriage ceremony must have witnesses who will often join to sign the certificate. There were certainly more people there than the 3 of them.

Relax.

Part of the problem of Nigeria today originates from the missionary schools our leaders attended.

Catolic priest cant train a useful med doc in our current society.

They lack real life experience. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO DEM. "Catolic priest no get real life experience, they are even secluded from the real world. How will such people run an edu system effectively. I doubt.


The governor should have attended the sch over to the Nigerian medical union instead. They will do a better job.

Catholic priest are very good at nurturing priest and rev sisters, not people outside the religious sector.

I bodly said and I stand to be corrected = Most Nigerian dont know the true meaning of education.

Una dey see were our problems they come from?

The Catholic Church has some of the best managed educational and health institutions in the world. Even in the UK for example, Catholic schools are among the best.

There is nothing like Nigerian Medical Union. If you are referring to Nigerian Medical Association or Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, none of them has the capacity to manage a medical university.

You most probably won't be educated or dead at infancy. Read up on Ibn Sina for instance. I m sure you don't even know that 1 2 3 4 5 are Arabic numerals.

There is a difference between Arabic and Islamic. Not all Arabs are Muslims. The Arabic numerals have no connection with Islam. More so, there is a claim that the numerals originated from India.

Whooping £420m per annum on Messi!No matter what,he will have at least £390 after tax deductions and others apart from endorsement from companies where he's likely to make extra money.

How did 35m Euros per season turn to 420m Pounds per annum? Are there 12 seasons in a year now, and is €1 equal to £1?
Also, the 35m Euros is net income, so tax has already been factored. If it was gross, his net income wouldn't have been more than €20m.

kramer:
Yes we all need to learn ignore such things but at the same time, we should also learn to be considerate of others as well. If there was a dislike button I'm pretty sure he'd be getting just as many dislikes as likes.

The front page isn't where he is needed in my opinion, he should go to the sexuality section to post his messages there, that is where he'll find people that need urgent saving. My 2 cents.

Well, your point is reasonable. No wahala sha.
Cheers.

kramer:
You see, people are different. Not everyone has the same level of tolerance. And the fact that you're biased (thanks for being honest) makes it even more difficult for you to see how annoying it can be.

You may decide to just scroll through whereas others , we may become upset after a while just like the op and others that have also reacted to his comment.

Also, do you think the dude is really interested in saving souls or just doing it for the likes? Because If a thread is already 3 pages long I doubt you'll see his comment. It's always usually the first page you'll spot him. Just saying.

In this digital age, we all need to learn tolerance. We all belong to various online groups and often times, we see people posts things we don't fancy. We all need to learn to ignore such things.

I can't judge his motive because I am not God who searches the heart of men. On the surface, it appears like he is genuinely interested in the gospel. Never seen anybody preaching the gospel for likes. In this modern age, that's one of the least things that will fetch you likes online.
The young man recognises that many NLers including me mostly read the front page of posts. He therefore targets his posts for the largest audience possible.

Oh okay.
We understand better now,
We never knew twas a game.
Thanks for taking the time out to explain this to us and many people here.
Appreciate.

It's immature making and responding to posts with 'we' and 'us'. You're not chatting on NL on behalf of your family or business. Even if you are, you have a mind of your own.

kramer:
You don't see it as 'forcing Faith's because you're a Christian and so you're already biased and ignorant of what's happening.

Assume the guy was Muslim and always quoting Islamic verses everytime and warning people to convert to Islam before it's too late etc.. I guarantee you it will start to piss you off.

People come on NL to read stories and wind down not to read Bible verses or to be told the world will end soon.

For instance, this thread is about Mayweather's exotic cars, but yet here we are talking about religion. There is a place for that on Nairaland which is the Religion section, he should try to be respectful to others and keep his religious comments to that section.

cc: Righteousness2 - this message is for you

Yes, I am biased because I'm a Christian. However, if I was a Muslim, I would simply scroll past his posts and not bother reading them. I don't read every single post on the front page of every thread I open. Non-Christians don't have to read his posts, and most of them actually don't. For that reason, they are not bothered about what he posts.

If he was a Muslim and posting Quranic verses, I would have learnt to ignore him by now. That's what most people do when they see the posts he makes. Those who feel he's constituting a nuisance should report him to the mods. If he is breaking NL rules, the mods will ban him.

People come to Nairaland for various reasons. What appeals to you may not necessarily appeal to another person. There are some threads some people find interesting like those BBN and celebrity threads while others consider them useless. Same applies to the posts in the different threads. Enjoy the ones that appeal to you and ignore others.

There is definitely a link between the exotic cars and religion. Some people look at the wealthy celebrities displaying their wealth and consider themselves failures. They begin to look down on their own little achievements and belittle the grace of God in their lives. Some even get to the point of depression. Posts like that remind us that all these things we see are transient. There is a bigger picture, and genuine lovers of God should not be distracted.

If religious comments are kept in religious sections, some people who never go there will never get the benefit of those comments. Many Nairalanders only open threads that appear on the front page. The fact that tens of people keep liking his posts means that many people appreciate his messages.
Those who are not happy should simply ignore the posts. It's as simple as that. Live and let live.

WUdec:
Pray that you make heaven with your idea of forced christianity.

Real Christians do not force their faith down people's throats so I don't know what faith you are practicing

You should be converting souls and not forcing souls to see your texts about how righteous you are or how righteous one ought to be.

Jesus would have never called himself Righteousness or The Holiest One. He was humble.

Be like Jesus

Your posts irk the hell outta my veins.

Oh my God! Are you sure you're a Christian?
The young man you are quoting has established himself as a voice reminding people of the message of salvation on Nairaland, and you're castigating him.

What do you mean by him forcing faith down the throats of people? Do you really understand what evangelism is all about? Is there a difference between what this guy is doing and persistent evangelism?

How else do you convert souls other than letting them see how God desires them to be righteous? BTW, the guy you quoted never boasts about his righteousness.
Using Righteousness as his moniker is only a way of reaffirming the word of God that says "we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus".

2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

If his posts irk the hell out of you, then you probably haven't found God. You can't genuinely love God and detest those who are passionately doing His will.

No,they have been schemed out.Andy uba is the chosen one

If only you were from Anambra, you wouldn't be mentioning Andy Uba for Anambra State. You certainly don't want anything good for the state.

Coronabirus:
The FG civil servants from Kano, Jigawa, Kebbi, Yobe, & zamfara combined (5114) are not upto those from IMO state alone (5825). All these alleged nepotism or lopsided employment is either a ranting out of ignorance or an outburst that will soon reveal the true case of marginalised Nigerians because more northeners are employed now to balance & check the Federal character system which is one of the core function of the Commission. All those accusing North of depending on govt to earn survive need to wake up & access authentic data not concocted data means to tarnish PMB's image in the south with no authentic data to back their claims. Why are southern media report only appointments involving Northerners? I have complete list of PMB's MDAs appointments from 2015-2020 which clearly evident that South have taken lion share compared to North as shown in the data above. I also have the data containing the statistics of political appointments of PMB also proven Southern Nigeria taking wide margin compared to North. Unfortunately, most educated Nigerians only learn the true nature of political game they're drawn into after govt has finished its tenure, that's when they'll know they're fooled by political tricks.
The Director General, Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Dr. Joe Abah, on Friday, disclosed that no fewer than 89, 511 civil servants are in the Federal Government’s employ, across States of the Federation.
89, 511 civil servants in FG’s employ by Nov 2015 – DG BPSR
Abah, in a series of tweets via his Twitter handle, @DrJoeAbah said that as at November 2015, States that topped the chat with most civil servants in the Federal Civil Service are Imo (5825), Kogi (5186), Ogun (4669) Delta (4419) and Akwa-Ibom (4416).
In percentage, Imo State makes up ( 7 %), Kogi (6 %), Ogun (5% ), Delta (5%) and Akwa Ibom (5%).
According to Abah, the Federal Civil Servants by State of Origin read thus:
1. Abia-3579

2. Adamawa-1727

Oga, you are a liar!
Which south has taken a lionshare in Buhari's appointments? Do you think we are all dumb and stupid?

Imo State probably produces more graduates every year than half of the entire North East states. For that simple reason, they should have more people getting enrolled into the civil service. Most of the states ranked high in terms of numbers have always produced more graduates than most northern states. It had nothing to do with marginalisation against the north.

In the same Imo state, there are thousands of graduates riding keke and doing menial jobs. How many graduates in the north roam about without jobs? Because there are fewer northern graduates, most of them are assured of jobs after graduation.

So Buhari is trying to balance out things for the north and has decided to completely cut off the South East? He has chosen to keep employing and promoting mostly northerners. Go and check out the highest ranked police officers from IG to commissioners. Over 80% of them are northerners. You think a successful and united nation will be built like this?

Jolomenas:
Ever heard of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Awon home made expert, Nonesense

Funny you! What is wrong in what the person you quoted wrote?
Simple question for you. How does HOCM lead to death? Is it not through fatal arrhythmias and then cardiac arrest? Perhaps you don't even know what cardiac arrest means.

WiszyFraud:
Stop Whatever you’re doing immediately you begin to notice any of the symptoms of heart attack..

R.i.p man!

So you think if you stop whatever you're doing, the heart attack will stop?
Well, he's too young to have had a heart attack. He likely had a cardiac arrest that it unrelated to heart attack and likely due to abnormal heart rhythm. It's likely due to structural abnormality of the heart called HOCM.

Coronabirus:
Police promotion doesn't need quota system consideration, it's done purely on merit.
Point of correction, that Kwara man is Northerner because Kwara is Northern state. Nigeria isn't defined by tribe or religion but based on geographical location defined by boarder demarcation.

Most MDAs and the security architecture have been giving more employment offers to northerners. This has been going on since independence. Though Obasanjo and GEJ tried to reverse the trend a bit, Buhari has made it much worse than it was even during the military. The implication of it is that there will always be more northerners at any level of service. Taking Nigerian Police as an example, there are far more northerners who are AIGs, commissioners of police, assistant commissioners of police etc than there are southerners. For that reason, even if true merit is applied, there will still be more northerners for promotion.
If quota system is applied at the point of entry into service, there will always be enough Southern officers who will achieve promotion by merit. You guys should stop making it seem like northerners are more proficient in civil and security service than southerners. It sounds extremely stupid and absurd.

Ceenachi:
I think they're lying.
I can mathematical prove them wrong.
They've been working for 50 years.
Assuming they worked 300 days a year (periods, vacation, rest day, sick leaves)
They worked ~15000 days.
335000 ÷ 15000 = 22.33
Lets round it off to 22 men a day with 23 men every third day.

I'm no expert, but that's physically impossible for any woman
But…..
This is not something that I would be announcing to the world. Just me I know

There are 2 of them, so 11 per day. It isn't impossible though.

Such a shame and disgrace.

FutureIsFemale:
Actually, it is near-impossible for a woman to think of such not to talk of doing it.
It is believed that men have high sex drive but it's quite unfortunate that they can't control their sexual urge.

It is not near-impossible. A female American teacher was charged recently for sleeping with a 15 year old boy.
