Beetobee:
Nigeria is a country whose citizens strive to go to school, but most actions and speeches of such 'educated' persons leaves me flabbergasted. But let me take the pains to broaden your very narrow research capabilities. Go to the Catholic Encyclopedia and check the age of Mary, mother of Jesus when she married Jacob the carpenter; she was 12 while Jacob was 99. This was the NORM at that time! And for your information, Saint Augustine, a christian, married a 10 year old girl in 350 AD. King Richard II in 1400 AD married a 7 year old girl. King Henry VIII in 1500 AD married a 5 year old girl. So who's fooling who here? Try and get yourself enlightened before you burp.

Thank you for that I was about to say the same thing. People fail to realize that the world has changed since then.

KingRex1:
Yea that's true, twas a mix up.

Lol! It can be quite confusing. I had to go over it like 3 times

KingRex1:
Lol, he doesn't know car mirrors are made to make images appear closer and bigger.
Well, the make shift could still serve him well

Actually, car mirrors make images appear farther. That's why 'objects are closer than they appear'is written on the mirror

Nigeria was more beautiful and better then

SonOfEl:

Children of hate are already congregating on this thread...

You are welcome... Oya, start spewing rubbish. LAWMA dey here to pack am, no wahala.

No blame them. You know say they no get culture and tradition. As if all of them wey dey claim Christianity go make heaven. Pained set of people

Kfed4ril:
You reason with your anus. What is the difference between this present Igbo politicians and the president Yoruba or Hausa politicians? They are all thieves and criminals,

The guy made a valid point and you allow sentiment block your reasoning. Since your lords (Hausa/Fulani) have been ruling Nigeria for over 40 years please tell me if we have ever moved forward?
Your problem is doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Finally don't allow hate kill you.

LMAO!! I can see you have no simple sense of reasoning. You talking about sentiment I mentioned facts. If you're looking for someone to mess with, get your sorry hypocritical a*s off my mention. The person I replied had no problem with my reply. Godforsaken iPod Jew as if there is any development in your area

Handsomecole:
On a more serious note I think an Igboman becoming a Nigerian President, would make Nigeria better. Putting tribal sentiments aside. The Igbos are the only tribe that confidently associate and establish in all geo-political zones of the country.

For me I think we should just give them a try. If they can excel in business I see no reason they can't apply such in developing Nigeria as whole. This suffering is just too much abeg.

Quick question; have they developed their states? I agree that they are in every state but is it these same set of theives that would rule us? If the Igbos want to make a statement, I beg make they no show these same set of politicians

kernel501:
As unlearned as somebody is, he wouldn't know that even the best writters send their works for proof reading. Please stop exhibiting illiteracy.

LMAO! So, you're comparing yourself to learned writers? Damn! I weep for Nigeria. Simple English you cannot write. I can now see that your brain capacity is below 225kb

kernel501:
Hahahahah... I guess I've hurt your ego, you've been bleeding since yesterday, proof reading through my tenses, even when is clear you don't know the difference between past tense and present tense.

Lol! Mr scholar is an illiterate claiming a wrong sentence as past tense. How pathetic. You were so ashamed to reply the first quotation. I've been waiting for your reply. P.s; it is it's not is. How many times do I have to correct that?

kernel501:
Hahahahaha .... Is been time I saw a clown, imagine what poor education does to people, reading and comprehending has turned rocket science. I wrote in my previous post, "I don't sound unlearned", because of your low processor, properly 252 MB brain thwarted it against you. You picked the wrong guy.

Mr wrong guy. It is probably not properly

Danialuone:
Very useless post,Islam has its well spelt out rules and conditions governing everything not to talk of Polygamy....Who is Sanusi to set a condition in Islam....If any of you introduce into the affairs of islam ,What does not belong to it ,it is rejected. Zanusi Rule or Rules IS HEREBY REJECTED.Nonsese

Brother, one of the rules is that marry one wife when you can provide for her. These people are marrying 5 wives while selling pepper

succed:
Little wonder the country is in a bigger mess!!!!

Lol! $1=520 because of your brother and his useless cbn policies.

People complaining about how Nigerians are being treated by other Africans. Please how do we treat ourselves; people of the same nationality? Igbos hate the guts of Yorubas and Hausas and Vice versa. There is xenophobia even in Nigeria towards fellow Nigerians. Imagine, some people start petty e-fights over this.

kernel501:
I don't trade words, since you couldn't disclaim the evidence, but rather resorted to cheap way-out, that's cool.
One thing is evident, I don't sound unlearned.

The word "didn't" denotes past, so... Uncle, how do you use "don't" as past tense?

LMAO! Really? So, the sentence was past abi? You don't trade words and you were calling another person unlearned. Hypocrite oshi

cstr100:
Yeah, says a yoruba conehead living in a dilapidated brown roof.
There are so third class and they are taking over your party with every tom, dickk and harry trying to woo them into your shameful association of political criminals and even offering them a presidency for reciprocal support.
nigga please.

Lol! The third class set of people hold the Senate president seat and VP seat. What do you guys hold? Ohhh! Lemme guess; a failed Biafra

kernel501:
I don't blame you, but the school that graduated you. A man like you wouldn't know the difference between N180 to $1, against N516 to $1. How will you know the difference between 8% inflation as against 18%.
I didn't understand the extent of education degredation in the Southwest till you made this statement.

Lol! I can see you're very learned that's why you used didn't instead of don't. Very 'smart' of you

Jaymaxxy:
And how many Christians has he helped with the money? Oh I remember, Dasuki is a traditional worshipper

Koro too is a traditional worshipper. No mind am

rman:
For wia.

Thunderbolt beats this movie hands down!

Magun don tey Na. Nowadays, nollywood movies are sh*t. It takes them 3 days to make one movie. This is the first nollywood movie I watched and was proud of; it's been ages since they released good movies

Best Nigerian movie in terms of script write-up, screen play and the actors were perfect. The movie deserves an award for greatest nollywood movie of all time

I pity this generation; our ladies have the 'sex sells' mentality. The show would spend more than #100 million. Now imagine if the money used to empower our youths. China and Japan are investing in their youths while our government is busy investigating why #bbn was not done in Nigeria

QuietHammer:
Blood of Zerubabel

LMAO! Hammer you need to be quiet

And this one Na pastor pikin

Harris90:
what do you expect... An Olosho comparing her self with men.... you dnt wanna know the amount of responsibilities that rests on the shoulders of men in this hard Country


Some ladies are lucky and should be thankful to God who made them beautiful, they dnt suffer to get things handed to them without stress, from these same men



unlike men who will toil under the sun for that same thing


I'm just saying ooooo

What are you just saying? You stated it exactly how it is my brother.

Tbillz:
Ambode is not tinubu!

Abode brought in new BRT; the blue ones and they are maintained even better than the red Mass Transit buses

Tbillz:
Naija Governors and sense,they are not related at all. Rufia brought urban mass transit to Abuja, few months later hundreds of those buses are dead in the office today. How am i sure U are not buying those buses just to syphon money and inflate prices because am sure they cannever be as strong those on the street!
2ndly what job have u created for those touteds that only feed family from that touty job!

OMG they all look sensible during election?
Idiot Kogi Gov am coming for U too o

BRT has been since the time of Tinubu and it is still here

Tifemide2017:
But the Yorubas didn't backstab when they lead the protest against the Yar'adu cabals in 2010?

They were simply good when they overwhelmingly voted GEJ in 2011.

I don't you peoples problems, must we all support one candidate every time?

Interest, and not emotions is what matters here.

I don't understand for them. Igbos vote based on tribe and religion. We vote based on what we see

WhoRUDeceiving:
Buhari himself was a failed candidate for a record 12 years before Yorubas backstabbed to foister a sick coupist on a FAILED NATION.

Truthfully, the easterners need to continue with agitation, anything else is revisiting Lord Laggards grave to put flowers on top

LMAO! backstabbed? We Yorubas hate impunity even if you are a Yoruba and you fail us we kick you out. You people talk as if when Johnathan first contested we did not vote for him. He failed and he was kicked out. Buhari has failed too and he will surely be kicked out

raker300:
nice try buddy. But until we leave, we'll get what is rightfully ours..get used to it.

Listing names of candidates that have no ties with tinubu?

If I were you, I'll be more worried that the tinubu godfatherism is dead and no one from southwest seem to care

By asslicking? I thought you Igbos were calling we Yorubas Northeren slaves. Who's the slave now? Hypocrites
