₦airaland Forum

It's true.
If you see how people lavish money at joints and beer parlours you will not doubt. Some people even prefer to declare beers for their fellow drinkers at clubs and joints so that they can call them big men rather than using the money to take care of their families or help their friends in need.

No matter how hard Alhaji Lai Mohammed tries to deceive the internationl community about peaceful co-existence and religious tolerance in Nigeria, they are watching things themselves and they know the truth.

Mufakirnaqdiun:
It would have been great if you gave yourself the credit instead of attributing it to God.
Did he fly down to stop you?look, if you weren't determined, there's no way you'd stop it.

We keep asking why your God can't feed the hungry children or those kids born with cancer and disease, or your God couldn't save Deborah from being lynched, or better still those people who died in owo the other day.

I bet you no Christian will ever be able to give an answer because deep down they know their God only exist in their mind, the moment they try to give an answer they start sounding stupid and illogical.

I didn't want to answer you because most conversations like this usually end up in throwing insults on God and scorning the Christian faith, but I feel I should just quickly let you know one thing and move. The reason why all those bad things happen in this world to good people and innocent children is because the earth has been handed over to the devil who now controls most of the affairs in it. And the mission of the devil is just three; to kill, to steal and to destroy. You will be wondering who handed it over to the devil, how, why and when. You see, when God finished making the world, He made man and his wife to rule the world and have dominion. But the devil was jealous and came to deceive the wife of the man. The day Adam and Eve listened to the devil and disobeyed God was the very day they handed it over to the devil. But goodnews is that all these evil that are happening have an expiry date. It is all for a little while. Vengeance belongs to God. The last day will come when Jesus Himself will takeover and judge the world, then He will destroy both death and the devil. How do I know these? God Himself said it in His word, and you know what, God cannot lie. Bye.

8. FRAUDSTERS AND SCAMMERS
BASED on your first point that a lot of people believe Nairaland is a faceless forum, there are those that openly declare they are scammers and internet fraudsters. They are so proud of themselves that they sometimes display some of their personal effects like phones, laptop etc on the forum. They will even justify themselves telling you what they have achieved by committing this crime. These are young guys that could have channeled their energies and smartness into better creativities. When I see these, I feel like is there still hope for this country?

9. DRUG ADDICTION AND ALCOHOLISM
AGAIN, many youths proudly and openly admit that they take all sorts of hard drugs and marijuana on this forum. This proves further that the problem with our society is not only about the leaders, majority of the societal ills are caused by influence of hard drugs and alcohol. Most of these habits are either influenced either by the celebrities they see in the entertainment industry or to deaden their conscience so as to be able to carry out their nefarious activities like scamming and sexual immoralities, this leads to my next point.

10. SEXUAL IMMORALITIES
MOST of the people especially the youths on Nairaland are sexually immoral. One would be amazed at how sex has been commonized among the youths in this forum. Many of the discussions and expressions here reflect how lifestyle of a lot of people are offline. It is safe to say that Nigeria youths are much more interested in engaging in sex than in their education. They believe that the essense of a relationship is because of having access to regular sex anytime they want. It is very common to read how people are quick to advise others who have posted about a relationship problem, such people would be advised not to take the relationship serious but to only "bang" and never care. Fornication and adultery has been reduced to mere fun here and this can be safely used as a sample of the youths in the larger Nigeria as a whole. The other time, somebody made a post about the spiritual implication of sleeping with another man's wife. A lot of people refute the claim that there is any implication other than just the guilty conscience. Some even said it is the best sexual encounter that one could have. What a generation!

11. GENDER ABHORRENCE
IT is very common to read derogatory comments by some members of the forum against the opposite gender. A lady in this forum has been making this habit contagious by influencing other ladies to also join her in hating men generally without any exceptional consideration. One would keep wondering what experience could make a lady have such hatred for men to the extent of always hunting for news against men to post on the platform so that she could make other women join her bandwagon. Also, some men profile themselves as redpillars, a tag they ascribe to men who have little or no esteem for women. They believe that women are not worthy of any special regard and that they don't deserve care and empathy. They rather see women as tools to be used to satisfy personal needs and sexual pleasures, nothing more. Any other women aside their mothers, sisters, daughters or female relative does not mean anything to them. Either way, it is wrong to have such gender hatred towards the opposite sex.

12. PROUD AND HAUGHTY
THESE people are always looking for oppotunities to show that they are comfortable and superior to others on Nairaland. They find it very convinient to inflate the price they pay for anything when anybody asks. They like to form. They give an impression about who they are actually not and they offer to gist on anything that will make people see them as being rich. When they see a post where somebody appears to be living an average life or below average, they feel irritated and are quick to point to the person how poor he or she is. Though there are people in Nairaland who are genuinely doing well financially and are sometimes touched by other people's poor story and are willing to help, yet some would rather express disgust, make jest and move.

I have spent so many years that gave me so much happiness and joy in abundance. I wish the same in the coming years! Happiest birthday to myself! I am 27 on the 27th day of August! �

Happy birthday to you. Wishing you many more years in peace and prosperity. Cheers!

Gambling can never give you true riches. Even if you win and become rich, all the money will still likely go back to where they came from. Gambling is foolish, those companies collect money from millions of foolish people to reward very few foolish people. Gambling companies should have folded up if everyone wins everyday. Rather, the companies keep using foolish people's money to establish other branches and collect more money from more foolish people.

I just read your post, I saw people's comments and I saw your replies too. I observe that you seem to be a responsible man irrespective of the situation that led to having a baby mama. Even some men that are legally married are not half as responsible as you are to their families. I saw the breakdown of how you spend your salary and it is commendable. Many of them have condemned you here especially those saying N50k is too small to give a baby mama for business. Let me tell you, you don't owe her anything because you didn't marry her and you don't have any spousal agreement, you only owe your baby care and responsibility. She cannot make you her life saver just because she has a baby through you.
What I want you to know is that you are entitled to seeing your child and you should be sending some money for his upkeep, not for your baby mama's upkeep. She should go and find work or her family should establish a business for her.
As a matter of fact, you are free to marry if you want and you see a suitable lady for you. Nobody can stop you. Don't let that baby mama hold you to ransome because of your child, live your life and be happy. Just ensure you are sending some money for your child's upkeep. Let her and her family know that you cannot be tied down because she has your baby.

It was about to do that until the grandma interrupted the process and called the police.

Who keeps snakes as pet anyway. Only idiots do.

Snakes that don't have emotions lol
They just care about gulping down their meals and humans can pass as meals too.
A very huge and satisfying meal

Lol, they interrupted its breakfast

Forgive them for they know not what they were doing. I pray the suspension will not end in dismissal.

I blame the snake, it should have also swallowed him after strangulating him. Stupid man.

[quote author= post=116080903]Heart palpitations are a feeling like your heart is racing, pounding, or like you have missed heartbeats.
You can feel palpitations in your chest, throat or neck.

Palpitations can happen at any time, even if you are resting or doing normal activities.
Although they may be startling, palpitations are not usually serious or harmful.
However, they can sometimes be related to an abnormal heart rhythm that needs medical attention.

Heart palpitations are common, but they can be startling because you aren’t usually aware of your heartbeat.
The feeling of a racing or pounding heart normally doesn’t last long and isn’t a reason to worry.
Since some heart palpitations are caused by things you can control, you may be able to prevent them.

Stress, exercise, medication or, rarely, a medical condition can trigger them.
Although heart palpitations can be worrisome, they're usually harmless.
Rarely, heart palpitations can be a symptom of a more serious heart condition, such as an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), that might require treatment.

We did a research for you online because we care.

Meanwhile,
Get ready to see your physician NOW!

tomtomastom4:
Thanks a lot. Though there are houses of 70-80k. But na public houses. Me I cant leave in such places at all.

Lagos is very hostile and not eash to survive on that range of salary. In a good location of Lagos, room and palour with your private kitchen and toilet will cost a minimum of N300k. Married men that earn your kind of salary in Lagos are not living a fulfilled life. It is well.

Raregem9000:
No, not new sir

Then that 65k mileage is not true. It has been rolled back by the seller to impress potential buyer before you bought the car. Now about the steam from the engine, it is not a problem, it only means that the engine has a good compression.

Raregem9000:
Corolla 2010. I hardly take it out coz I have spares

Ok, you must have bought the car brand new then?

Raregem9000:
Good evening,
I warmed my car off this evening as i didn't take it out today and look around it, then i notice few droplets of water dripping off the exhaust pipe, please is it normal? Car mileage is 65k.

Your mileage is 65k? What is the brand and year of manufacture of the car?

The surgery shall be successful by God's grace, you will not die, Amen.

I fully understand your agony brother. I believe there will definitely be a medical solution to it. Consult a good doctor in a trusted hospital for treatment asap. My prayers are with you. May God see you through and make you overcome this challenge, amen.

Hmmm, you have seen the handwriting now?

It is better you conclude your story on time so that people can start commenting on their views and render their advice.

I wonder the situation the girl would be in. Probably the ISWAP commander has already been sleeping with her forcefully before deciding to "formalize" the molestations against her wish. Whereas Buhari's daughters and daughters of his evil cohorts like Lai Mohammed, Femi Adeshina and Garba Shehu will be sleeping peacefully in their own houses, what a tragedy of a country.

Anthony Joshua should have quit the stage when the ovation is loudest. His downfall began when he came to Nigeria to come and prostrate for the Failure in Aso Rock and went further to distract himself by frolicking with the DJ daughter of the billionnaire.

GeneralDae2:
I already gave you a detailed answer previously but was banned by the bots.

If I ask you how we were better 8 years ago, the first thing you would likely tell me is that the price of rice was 9000 naira then, which is a Congent reason, but price of rice alone does not determine a sustainable economy. The naira has fallen about 3 times over now but let it be known that the naira was already dwindling fast as at 2014. From Obasanjo to Jonathan, our foreign reserves dwindled from around 63 Billion dollars to about 29 Billion dollars. What was the cause? They were supporting the naira with the reserves, so it shows that the naira was bound to fall either way but we had enough reserves due to sales of oil at 2.5 million barrels per day.

I know and Buhari should do better there. Our oil production would definitely be back on track soon.

Oh come on. We have a far larger population and a bigger economy than Egypt and South Africa. Egypt with a population of just 100 million people and GDP nominal of about 435 Billion dollars, have a debt over 250 Billion dollars already mostly external debts. South Africa with a population of 60 million and about 430 billion dollars nominal have a debt of 282 Billion dollars (still rising) with a staggering external debt of 173 Billion dollars.
Nigeria with a population of 206 million people and GDP nominal of 511 Billion dollars, have a debt of 100 billion dollars with about 40 Billion dollars to external debt.
Also our debt to China doesn't exceed 4 Billion dollars at the moment.

I hate it when people supress the truth, deny the fact and try to costume an obvious eyesore when the reality is obvious. Even a fresh immigrant in Nigeria knows the country is barely surviving on life support.

You said the naira has fallen 3 times over, this now confirms to me that it is either you are not abreast of the actual situation or you are directly or indirectly benefitting from the rot in the system. The naira has never experienced such a rapid collapse under any government like it is under Buhari. While Buhari's tenure still last, I can bet you expect more falls of the naira as it has not yet reached it resting colapse stage, not until this government leaves office. Sanusi was fired for this crisis amidst other reasons, Emefiele came on board and was serious with his job until he sees that Buhari does not give a hoot whatever happens to the currency value and monetary policy altogether, then he also join the lazy band and he further became incompetent just like his boss. Recently, we discover he woke up when the CBN caution that the government debts records with the CBN is historic and no longer manageable.

I am sure you are aware that Nigeria external reserve dropped to $350,000 from millions of dollars it used to be.
Talking about the debt, are you not aware that even the IMF sounded a note of warning that Nigeria will be facing an existential threat with its insatiable demand for foreign loan without putting any mechanism in place as to how the debts would be settled?

You also claim we have a larger population which is a potential for national revenue, which industries do you see that is functional to absorb the teeming population? The few companies that you see around are already taking steps to lay off and cut down on cost while those that can no longer cope have left the country for good. With the frequent national grid collapse like never before, where is the power to run these industries? Diesel that used to be alternative source of power has reached high heavens with its price. Consequently, prices of commodities have to be adjusted upward to cater for the cost by the few industries that could still ration production on diesel.

Is it the population that has already become frail due to chronic hunger and incapacitated due to insecurity that you want to rely on for debt recovery? No wonder your Buhari government's only idea of boosting revenue is by wantomly levying the masses with all manners of taxes ranging from PAYE, PIT, VAT even down to taxing phone calls, SMS and data rate! Such a clueless government made up of souless elements. The countries you mentioned as owing countries above have working system, condusive industrial evironment, strategic developmental infrastructures, secured society, 24/7 power generation and supply, several other mechanisms that are already yielding revenue, as well as friendly and sustainable economic policies. Do you know what it will take to pay back $4 billion to just China? You were just churning out figures that translate to nothing other than poverty for the people and more dollars to embezzle by the corrupt rulers. I even wonder how dare you compare Nigeria with Egypt and South Africa, what an insult. To say the least, how much mega watt is Nigeria generating to stand in the league of such countries? Don't even go there. You had better stop at Niger Republic or Sudan. Ranking Benin Republic with Nigeria is even an effrontery.
Take it or leave it, Buhari has buried Nigeria down deeper than any of the previous government. You will not agree because the government officials will continue to underplay everything and give a pleasant coloration of every of their unkind decision until their tenure expires and another government, hopefully from a different party, takes over and open their messy yansh.

How can Buhari be a failure after making our Navy so powerful with these modern equipments you see on this thread, such that this year alone, there have been no piracy on our waters ( what used to be one of the most vulnerable in the world for time immemorial)?
I have so much to type, but damn, is this what you call complete failure?

Unfortunately, all the avove points you raised can't eliminate the fact that your country was better 8 years ago before Buhari came. Hope you are aware that your country is losing 400,000 barrels of oil on daily basis which is being syphoned abroad as black market by the powerful syndicate in government right under the watch of your dear Buhari who doubles as President and Petroleum Minister? Hope you are also aware that your country's accummulating debt profile is far higher than revenue and your generations to come will continually be indebted to world bank and chinese lenders? Hope you are aware that your hero Buhari himself confirmed that he is tired of governance and can't wait to retire to his home after handing over in 2023? Hope I am not wasting my time talking to an incorrigible ignorant?

Am not happy with my husband's utterances towards me. He unapologetically told me my duties are just 2: to give him se. X and to cook. This guy has really hurt me in this marriage, he seems not to know how to talk. intentions and motives about a women are so demeaning.
I am feeling so ashamed of myself. He place no value on me.

Sorry sister. Meanwhile, dont listen to most of those people blaming you and condemning you for cooking moimoi. Most of them are living a miserable life outside internet. What I will tell you is this; when your husband is lively or in good mood, bring up this issue and let him know how bad you feel about his statement. Let him know that his children like moimoi and that's why you always cook it. Let him know that you are a human being and not a piece of property in his house. However, let him know that you dont have a problem in cooking what he likes but you also want his children to be happy. Make sure you dont disrespect him.
NB. I am also a married man with a kid.

Soulflai:
I have to open a new account so as to be anonymous as possible.I shouldn't have brought this here but the emotional bargage is too heavy for me to move on in.My marriage of 2 years is about to crumble.
I met my wife in Kaduna Southern part in 2017,our relationship had been a long distance one as I base in Lagos while she also work in Kaduna, but we eventually married in 2020.The bone of contention is the issue of her ex.That point we are dating,I always caution her cut communication with the guy,she will do it by deleting the number,but later I will find out they're still relating.
If am your brother,what advice would you recommend?I only choose to be lenient because the kids are just too small to have their parents separated early.If not,I would have sent her parking!.Right now I am just not happy with life afterall.

Hello, if that pregnancy is truly yours she wont allow another man have sex with her and penetrate her womb where an innocent child is kept. If you are sure that the child is yours then you married a complete wore. My advice to yoi as a brother is to let her family know (if she has any responsible family), then take your child and separate from her for life. I can tell you for free that there is a huge curse on that guy sleeping with your wife, he can never make it again in life.

GeneralDae:
And yet people say Buhari is a complete failure.

Ok, Buhari is an incomplete failue. hope you are happy now?
