Guy, abeg face front... If you are not willing to face all those ills as a soldier, then you have no business buying the army form.... like i said earlier, nobody forced them into it.

That does not mean they don't deserve to be appreciated. I truly love and respect the army. May God bless and protect you guys.

JimTiger4:
Lol...but that's mean

No, its not mean bro. All is fair in love and war. I expect any man above the age of 18 to be able to make smart choices. After a whole year??

In any case his would-have-been gf does not deserve a man whose heart is panting after another.

StOla:
The ministry and minister need to clarify why this amount should be spent on a website.

Does the website mine gold?

As an advice to all public officers, learn to clarify the details for every expenditure and not just a line statement. It is time to include an appendix to all entries so that people don't misconstrue legitimate estimates as overinflated cost for otherwise basic expenditure.

Boss man, please there is absolutely no way a website should cost a quarter of that much. Dammit bro...what the hell??

musicwriter:
Very correct!.

What they should do is nurture this boy through science, and get him study engineering. If this is not done he may end up studying mass communication or English literature, for Example. Thereby wasting his talent.

This is the only way Africa can develop; when we begin building our cars, trains, bicycles, airplane, ships, submarine, name them!. Once Africa get science right, there're thousands of people among us that will build us out of poverty.

That's right...i've always staunchly believed that research and development must be encouraged rather than merely standing in que to recieve technology from the west and even the east these days. Even in the UK, i remember there was this member of parliament some years back who was quite outspoken against the churning out of "mickey mouse" degrees...now, how much more an underdeveloped nation such as Nigeria? of what use is it to us to have masses of potential human capital studying philosophy and the likes?

Lol.. See im face.. Person wey go still drop out...

Please try to develop a sense of propriety to go along with that rampant sense of humor of yours.

MhizTessy:
Wow
I like your sense of humour
Your comment is perfect... Purity, that's it.
Thank you!!!

sure!

OP, while i assure you that i do understand where you're coming from, pardon me for poking a lil fun at you. You remind me of my friend who always protests and defends his virginity despite having had sex at a similiar age, playing the infamous daddy and mummy game. His own defense is "i didn't ejaculate"



Funny people, OP, i hope he wasn't the one you did it with?

Okay, but seriously, sister, if that young man inserted his penis into you, you have had sex. Period. However if your motivation is purity, then in the eyes of God i believe you are still pure as you were not up to the age of accountability by then, and if your motivation is to please your husband, then he could still boast of being the only man to have had sex with you.

You're not a virgin objectively, but subjectively, you are one to me.

What is the point of this thread??

derespect:
If an Oyinbo man can appreciate Nigeria, who am I nt to be proud of my fatherland?
I am proudly Nigerian!

As much as you think what you wrote there expresses nationalism, brother you just sound like the white man has given you permission to love and respect your country.

Love for one's country is meant to be unconditional, and i honestly could not care less what any white or blue man, woman, or child has to say about Nigeria. Proudly, arrogantly and unrepentantly Nigerian since 1990.

knightsTempler:
To tell the truth, I am engulfed in roaring flames of tremendous anguish and laden with sorrow. Allow me to say that the joy I should naturally feel for such a potent victory awarded to buhari is destroyed by fear of what it MAY cost us. Buhari's disguise is so perfect and complete, expertly masking his nefarious schemes and personal ambitions, professing change in the most appealing language and manner that we treat his ambition with incredulous complacence. A man who, in the past, perfidiously isolated freedom of speech from the people, encouraged fanaticism, held bigoted views on religion and ethnicity, and voiced malicious profanity of the worst degree with his words clearly purporting violence. People criticized GEJ openly in all ramifications, even mocked the first lady without known repercussions. This time, you may have to learn how to cage your tongues and present proper civility. It is said that a child can play with its mother's breasts but not with the father's testicles. Beyond the usual rhetoric on good governance, discipline and his appeal to base sentiments, buhari has usually been hypocritical. Some people raving mad about the new-fangled parlance "CHANGE" are just products of the 90s. They haven't the minutest idea the specie of cobra on transit to the seat of presidency. Never mistake the glaring teeth of a chimpanzee for a smile. Nevertheless, we pray for the best. I'll only find myself disappointed with this nation when the same people who, today, are bellowing "CHANGE HAS COME" are found tomorrow in despairing opposition to what they once embraced with epileptic lunacy and blinding sentimentality.

you started with rhetoric, and i expected that as sensible writers do when they wish to make a point, you would move on to facts. However, you continued with more rhetoric and metaphors and ended as such, using hundreds of words to simply express your opinion that president Buhari is a tyrant.

SMH.

sisisioge:
what's the biggy? U guys are same seeix nau. I have always wondered why guys fuss about this issue.

and what difference does it make if they are same sex or not? private parts are private parts, period. Indecency is indecency by any other name.

Sanchez01:
No! Armed robbers do not use tazers. But let's be frank with ourselves, other than the heavy attacks some robbers executed towards banks and other organisations, you hardly hear of robbers killing people unnecessarily, unlike Nigerian policemen who delight in shooting at whatever questions why their shoes are dusty. In my opinion, ONLY SPECIAL police groups, such as criminal depts and crime busting department groups should be allowed to walk the streets with guns. Just like Christiane Amanpour of CNN said sometimes ago while interviewing the immediate past President of Nigeria, "reports have shown that uniformed men have killed people in the past one year than the Boko Haram group". Question is, has it changed ever since then? NO!

Amanpour would have been referring to soldiers mainly.

1. Oga, take away their weapons and the police beill be as lambs led to the slaughter as robbers would target them for fun.

2. Once such happens, robbers would become way more daring and citizens would suffer.

3. Tasers can be used to effectively torment the civilian population. In fact it would be worse as the police could lock you up and torture you with little evidence left.

4. You say special groups of officers should be granted the right to bear arms and I ask, how do you determine who is worthy or not? The same method should used to determine the worthiness of the entire police force, and all who pass the test should bear their arms. Thisbis exactly what the IG is proposing.

Sanchez01:
They would all pass! Where the madness come from is the gun they carry about. Most have never even had the opportunity to squeeze the trigger before and they would cherish every bit of opportunity to do so. The IG alonside the FG should start considering the use of tazers. Our policemen should not be allowed to move with guns!

You guys have determined to tire me on nairaland. Sir, do armed robbers operate with tasers? The security response of any country should match its unique security challenge.

Herrmes:
He had a model girlfriend for a while, any particular reason why he can be gay? You gonna bring up some bullshit and expect someone sane to believe it?

He can be gau because every male can potentially be gay...

Now no one can say he is certainly gay but neither can you say he is certainly not gay.

Having had a grand total of one girlfriend in ones adult life is hardly proof, as homosexual men have a track record of trying to cover their tracks by getting heterosexual partners. See: Elton John.

sinequanon:
Good luck with this "PhD"

The babe is probably batting her eyelashes there, while she is bringing her badass game... and you are doing "PhD".

Better be friends and keep looking. If she is interested, she will change tack.

When it comes to game, women beat men hands down.

Lool...by some time i meant a few weeks...and during these few weeks you would go out on dates and stuff...but yea dating is a woman's world, i agree.

Play on the word 'black'...dude was dissing black girls..And he's black (pot)..Pretty spot on if you ask me..but you didn't ask me...

oooh ah i geddit now......

Suigeneris93, nice one

naijaboiy:
These are some sure ways to know you've been friend zoned by that girl you like so much. Let's roll....

1) "BROTHER"- if she calls you her brother or describes you to her friends that you're like her brother,you're so deep in the friend zone.

2) NEVER GETS DRESSED- Whenever you come over she never tries to look nice for you which means she doesn't care if you think she's cute or not.

3) TELLS YOU EVERYTHING- if she tells you everything,I mean every little pointless thing nobody cares about like what she ate or other unnecessary things.

4) GUY PROBLEMS- if she's talking about other guys with you,her relationship problems,then she's worried about them while you're worrying if you'll ever get out of the friend zone.

5) HANGING IN GROUPS- it's fine to hang in groups with her but if you are always hanging in groups with her and you guys never get to hang out one on one then she sees you as just a friend.

6) "NICE"- if she only Tells you you're nice or always describes you to her friends as a nice guy and nothing else,guy you're friend zoned.

7) TOUCHING- Anybody who likes anybody will start touching and making contact with the other person. If she starts dodging and stylishly pushing you away when you try to touch her or giving you hints to stop then you friend zoned.

8 ) DRINKING- if you guys are having a couple of alcoholic drinks in your system and she's tipsy and she still doesn't show hints that she likes you or has interest in you...NIGGA you friend zoned.



Guys which of these have you experienced?


Girls how true are these points and which other can you add?

Sometimes you guys write as if girls are robots

these things work the way you have stated but only when "ceteris paribus holds true"....

for instance,
1. Point 1 is proabbly the only of those rules that is probably universally true. Even at that, what if she does like you and is only trying to convince herself that she doesnt?

2. This one depends on the type of girl, and on how close you have become. But yes generally, girls will prune for you if they do like you or are expecting to see you. A bigger sign in this regard should be pruning behavior... the little tell tale body language signs such as twisting her hair in your presence. these ones are things women may do without realizing them and they should be clues that she lieks you. you can do more research on this later.

3. she may just be trying to hold your attention. if you've known each other for long, though, then its more likely to be a friend zoned matter.

4. if she likes you but thinks you only see her as a friend, point 4 may not hold true. she may talk to you about guy issues merely to get your attention or even see if you get jealous.

5. if she is intimidated by you, point 5 may not hold true

6. this one may hold true more often than not

7. what if the girl likes you but has heard you're a player and she wants to protect herself? Point 7 will not hold true

8. yes this one may hold true. i remember the day one distant female friend of mine got tipsy and starting acting so weird around me and i was wondering what could have entered her mind. Now i realize alcohol kinda loosens certain inhibitions


so OP, those rules you listed make sense but remember that human beings are dynamic and girls can be strange at times. The best way to tell if a girl likes you or not, is study her for some time, and then make your move. If you've studied her well, you will surely be able to tell if her initial no means no, or if it means yes, but not today.

Ciao!!

Herrmes:
Lmao y'all niggers are pathetic, how can someone say CR7 is gay? Clinching onto every little straw to make your pathetic life look better.

Any particular reason why he cannot be gay? Is it written on the forehead or what?

Neymar be like "can't you see I was talking to her first? Thunda fire ur nyash before you rich home this night! Eediot, mtchew"

Suigeneris93:
So? How will this epistle help me? I think ur pain op is that the black girls who are the runt of the pack to u, turned u down and not that they were being rude. You wanted to help their ministry? Like seriously? If you had taken them home you'll still be the one to open a thread calling black girls oloshos...smtchew! Pot calling the kettle black



#all the pun intended

Sorry, wer is the pun??

BlackPeni5:
The old fool ate yam....He must return it.

So if you steal my car and sell it, then the person who bought it should keep it abi? Since he is not the one that stole it.
****

It's not quite the same. If you steal money and spend it, one can never request a purchase from the seller. One can only ask you to make a refund by all means but the seller is under no obligation to refund you anything.

And the argument chief False makes here is that his group of individuals performed a service for which they were paid. You can't hold them culpable for how the funds for their payment were raised anymore than you could ask the seller of a yahoo boy's hummer to refund the money they received.

It certainly won't hold up in a court of law.

Lito18:
And what is wrong with her English? that was a correct way of asking if he had any questions. Americans use the phrase 'did you'.

Mr, the correct thing to say was: "do you have". If she wanted to use did you have, she would have had to add a clause that qualifies the timing of the conversation they were currently having. For example:

*Did you have some other questions, before you derailed the thread?
*I can see you are perfectly satisfied with the answer i just gave you, but did you have some other questions?

Not an English teacher, and i can't explain it any further than that, so if you like get it and if you like, don't get it.

she could have at least tried to speak better english na....which one is "did you have any other questions"??

anyhoo, it looks like she is enjoying the attention but looking for a way to cover her arse in case the conversation comes to the notice of her supervisor.... otherwise i see no need for her to tell him her marital status...does that one have anything thing to do with Adidas?

If you wanna fire someone, call them into your office and fire them. What is this rubbish?

This dude is seriously childish

Naijasinglegirl:
A friend spoke to her mum concerning my unemployed status and the mum promised to look into my matter.
Recently, she called one evening to inform me her mum asked that I come to her office the following day with my résumé and two passport photographs. My friend also said, “Please dress very well. You know my mum can worry,”
After ransacking my wardrobe in search of the perfect office wear, I sighed in exasperation when I stood in front of a mirror.
You see, I have been indoors for a while and at ease, rocking ‘didi’ in my natural hair since I’ve had nowhere important to go. My didi makes me look like a 15 year old and there is no way I want to look like a 15 year old when I’m out to look for my Chevron job. I quickly loosened my hair and all I was left with was a confused looking afro.
I had discarded the last of my worn-out wigs some weeks back and I was completely disoriented on what to with my hair as I had only a night to get ready. I proceeded to do what they call twistouts, my first twistouts as a naturalista before going to bed.

Next morning, after getting dressed, my heart was pounding wildly as I unravelled my twists. I don’t have the right words to describe how my hair looked when I was done. I was tempted to compare it with twistouts photos on Instagram but I held on to the conviction that what you don’t know won’t kill you and the only way I could get away with the thing on my head was to rock it with an arrogant confidence.

As I walked out of my estate, a white infinity with slightly tinted windows pulled up at a sharp bend beside me and a male voice said,”Hello, excuse me.”
Thinking Mr Right has finally found me, I stopped only for the guy to say a woman hawking bread is coming that I should please wait and help her offload her bread when she comes. Truly, there was a woman hurrying towards his car with agege bread on her head but when I peeped into the vehicle, there was a lady wearing a long Brazilian hair, his girlfriend maybe, fiddling with a Samsung phone.
She didn’t even raise her head to say good morning to a single girl. I was so infuriated!

“You think you people are the only ones that feel like eating agege bread? Is it because I am not wearing human hair that’s why you can’t tell her to get down to help the bread lady or both of you don’t have two hands. Rubbish!” I said.
The guy stared dumbfounded as I walked away.

In the bus to Obalende, I sat on the middle of the second row and eyed everybody behind who stared at my hair from the mirrors. The conductor with his unhealthy mohawk dreads said “Fine girl, this your hairstyle resemble my own.”
“God forbid bad thing.” I cursed.

As I pulled out my wallet to pay my fare, it dawned on me I had no passport. Luckily, I located a small photograph studio by the bus stop at Obalende. The operator, after promising me he was the next best thing after Kelechi Amadi Obi took me the most ugly set of photographs. I know passports are naturally ugly but the ugliness of my photo on the computer screen was beyond comprehension. When I complained as he was about printing them, he said, “But na your hair make it dey so. I snap wetin I see.”
I just pretended to answer a fake phone call and sneaked out of the building so I wouldn’t pay.

On arriving the office, my friend’s mum handed me an address of a recruitment agency in Broad Street and said the manager was her friend, that I drop my CV with her. Then she said “My dear, this your hair sef. I hope she judges your appearance based on what she sees on your passport.”
That was when I told her I forgot my passport. She said I am an unserious person. Then she took out a turban from her bag and I thought she wanted to give it to me but she shocked me by taking off the horrible looking foul nyash wig from her head and replacing it with a turban.
“Wear this wig to take a passport and make sure you bring it back to me on your way from Broad street.” she said. I put the wig in my bag with the promise to wear it once I get to the studio.

My high point of the day came when I was about crossing a road to take a keke. An afro-naturalista at the backseat of a passing vehicle screamed, “I LOVE YOUR HAIR, GIRL.”
When I heard that, my confidence was restored and I resolved not to wear the wig.

I found a 2-min photography booth at Broad Street. This one was run by a lady. I got seated and was reapplying my powder peacefully when the lady came close to me with her cheap camera and a small tooth comb. She told me to bend my head.
“Meaning what? Who sent you to comb my twistouts?” I shouted. “Don’t you know this is the style? Do you know how many people have told me I LOVE YOUR HAIR?”
“Ejo e ma binu. It’s for your own good.” she said as she withdrew.
“Thank you but it’s not your head! Just do the work I’m paying you for please.” I said.
I got my very ugly passports and went to the recruitment office.

The recruitment agent, a soft spoken lady, refused to take her eyes off my hair as she asked me series of questions, based on the information on my CV. When the interview was finally over, she said, ”You are smart but my major concern in recommending you to a potential employer is this your hair. I’m going to call you back in a few weeks for another assessment. Please try to make your hair then. I know money is hard to come by when you have no job but if you can’t afford that, you can even go natural. I heard that’s what is in vogue.”

But I thought my hair is natural?

By the time I got to the middle I just started smiling coz I knew this must be nsg at work. Great work as usual!

RIP. but there's no more Boko Haram. who killed him?

Lai Mohammed said they have been technically defeated and explained quite lucidly what he meant. Making a mountain out of a molehill shows how desperate you guys are and the risks you are willing to take to win this political game.

Carry on, it is in keeping with the operational pattern of the PDP so one is not too surprised--merely grateful your folks have excused from office.

Three black stars is which rank in the army?

If simply read the original post you won't need to ask sir

Smartsyn:
Two lessons I learnt from this story are:

1. Op uses an iphone.
2. He's not trustworthy.

Honestly bro....I mean it literally when I say I am constantly amazed at the things people say on nairaland. Never a day goes by without something amazing happening here

manny4u:
The church is not a museum for good people, it an hospital for the broken. The son of God never supports self righteousness, Jesus and religion are on opposite spectrum. Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man.......

Oga sir, Jesus Himself flogged certain people out of the temple. There is a time to welcome sinners and a time to drive them away

iamfroshsylver:
But Jesus didn't teach us this way. He wined and dined with the sinners. They should have allowed them in, but what am against is the last minute rush. Am sure they might have just discharge their customers which made them unclean and unfit to enter church. Even if they kuku enter the church sef,shey na Jesus go make thre kpomo market sell fast ni? Dem 4 no com church na cos Jesus isn't in support of that. Let them go and meet gurumaragi

I hope you know when the Pharisees came to be baptized. John the Baptist drove them away saying "you brood of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming vengeace? First produce fruits in keeping with repentance"

That church did very well, in fact they should have flogged them away.

AceRoyal:
"A mad man(unreasonable man) thinks he's the only sane person,in an insane world(reasonable world)."
