shymexx: I was comparing the two places in terms of beauty...

Natural beauty. I got it bro

Is this another gender topic? To what end? After all, masculine ability is never in doubt

As soon as we change our individual orientation as Nigerians, our collective perception will not be begging for recognition.

Cape town is undoubtedly one of most developed cities in the world Africa

dominique: This way to yaba left

Hahhahahhaaa, you are funny.

babyface333: There is this notion that girls have that makking themselves cheap to guys questions their dignity. i dont really blame them anyway, because, even we guys go about braging how we get a girl cheap. To be sincere any girl that just comes your way so cheap, you will have little or no regard for her.

op if you were a girl, will you be so cheap to any guy that comes your way just to proof a point to people like you?

That's a misconception and formulaic concept. A girl with value and dignity will always be treated as one whether she consented to your friendship advances in a few seconds or a year. A girl playing hard to get does not in any way attests she is 'cheap' or 'dear'.

abbeycial: neva fall for a woman who is interested in u,especially a pretty one. gbam

Sound the alarm. So true

Men deserve more than empty words and promises. Men find 'truth' very romantic in a relationship.

Good Character

People break up to make up.

It's like asking the difference between a Police and a Cop.

I am in bro.

mslecia: I don't like it when a man falls short of what his plans is. And then decides to make matters worst by acting out. When he should remember it's not about how many times you fall down.It matters most that you continue to get back up when all is against you. We love you don't hurt those close to you because you hurting. That is when I want you to lean on me more to help guide you back to where you suppose to be. Stop giving up men. Continue to be the men of tomorrow and the boys of yesterday.

How I love that. You are a wise woman, worth more than gold. I hope your man appreciate you for who you are

barbarawhyte: I'm telling u!Wot wud dis punishment do for her?She will still carry in boys by 3 nd enjoy herself den prepare for anoda foolish punishment.

For a wild and carefree teenager like this girl to accept to chill with a post (why she is being punished) on a street corner, shows she is ready to see with the parents. Methinks, the parents too are ready to reform her whichever means necessary.

I see this topic has succeeded in creating two fronts - those for and those against the parents' discipline style. Some comments are mind-boggling while some are embarrassingly shallow

ihedioramma: IF THE GUY IS A MAN WHY NOT COME THE TIME THE MEN IS ALIVE ? TELL THAT GUY LET HIM GO AND WORK AND LIVE THAT WOMAN . HE WANT TO TELK SOMETHING FROM A W,DO ? .

ferhyntorlah: Ihedioramma,

Is your caps lock button broken and please what did you just type?

Pardon him, the guy is French, only trying to tailor English words together. His message was understood anyway

I bet this girl will change for good. She will be a model to other girls. She is even in the global spot beam (news) for irreverent behaviour at age 15.

ogugua88: Imagine people feeling sorry for this girl. Una never jam ogbanje. Some of these Yankee kids were born rotten. I have witnessed it in person. A mother tells her daughter to behave in public. The girl shouted back at her, "shut the f*#% up". The mom was so embarrassed. She actually sobbed and left the room. Kids murdering their parents because their parents seized their playstation. Girls sleeping with boys for potato chips, in hopes of getting pregnant. Koboko no fit cure ogbanje. I'm telling you.

If her parents didn't send her on the streets, she would one-up them next time. She's already sneaking boys to her room and laughing in her parents/grandparents' faces. Discipline is best when it's started from young. At age 15, shame and humiliation may be the answer.

+100
It's unfortunate, the society operates in the opposite now. When kids abuse and disrespect their parents, child right extremists see it as normal, but when parents discipline their kids for untoward behaviours the same people see it as abuse. We yearn for a better society, for change, yet we abhor discipline. Where will the change comes from? Change can only come from our respective families that make up the larger community. At age 15 she is already bigger than the parents and grandparents, probably doing drugs and becoming a nuisance to the society. I am in support of the parents' discipline style. Like you rightly say, "shame and humiliation may be the answer". Thumbs up to the parents.

Zikdik: It would end when GEJ pays attention to the ever-increasing of Garrolina.

Will GEJ ever pay attention?

dabriggs: No there is no charge attracted when you buy fuel in a JerryCan.

Yes during one of the numerous scarcities, there was a directive that products should not be sold into such receptacles.
However it was cas specific and was because of the hoarding and the fact that black market activities boomed despite the scarcity.

However in recent times attendants have short changed customers all because they brought a jeryycan. If it gets bad insist on seeing the manager or supervisor. If it is a major marketer, threaten that you will report the said attendant at their corporate office (most attendants in Majors wear name tags).
I used to threaten them and have my way with my DPR I.D Card. At a time I got tired as I became recognised at Total and M.R.S Ojota. Most will just smile and say "oga anything for your boys".
I was shocked that in Port Harcourt, attendants can take as much as 100-200 naira for jerrycan charge. And they are bolder. But thanks to my DPR I.D.

Its the ordinary persons who suffer this and it is not fair.

It's that bad. I wish I could bring my experience to the notice of DPR if they are not aware. Any info on how to contact DPR?

Darius2000: @ OP, i salute your courage and patience in opposing illegality in your little ways. That single act of noncooperation is better than 100, 000 hours of docile prayer for nigeria........Thanks..

Thanks for the encouragement. We are problem to ourselves in this part of the world. Not every ills should be blamed on govt highhandedness. In our little way, we can influence the govt. The rape is far too much. Prayers cannot save us, it is our proactive attitude that will bring the desired change.

Lagusta: The funny thing is... Its not done in other parts of the country... Especially ilorin where I stay!!!

Plus... The NNPC mega station in ilorin (asa dam area) sells petrol in jerrycans, so what's so illegal about that


I believe ignorance, illiteracy and of course, inferiority imposed on us since the military era, are the cause of this...

It beats my imagination why this extortion is allowed unabated. I guess, it is approved by the regulatory agency or are they ignorant or just living in denial of this issue?

Area_boy: Did you know, "JerryCan" means German can??


The Germans invented it just before ww2 and the allies(America/Britain) called Germans "Jerry".

Hence, Jerrycan


There's a fun fact you didn't know

Thank you. I never knew that until now

cdamsel: @OP,I ve neva paid fine ohh,bt d 1 I know is when u go 2 nnpc mega station dey won't sell fuel 2 u in jerrycan

I still dey wonder d logic bhind d law

No offence intended sir. ^this is so crude a reasoning. Whatever happens to change is way too contradictory to your reasoning, the reason Nigeria is still in quagmire and seems no hope in the horizon. Let's be objective for once, how can we get out from here?

cdamsel: bt its nt illegal 2 buy generators?mynd take ya time ohhhh,even wen storm happen 4 america den carry fuel 4 jerrycan,we already know watd fuel wld b used 4 so wats d deal?make person die where im dey suck fuel commot 4m car

Mynd_44: Actually, it is illegal

For real? Pls throw light. I am ignorant of this this

~vicky~:
Your right Love doesn't pay the bills, you have to know there's a BUT coming, but without Love life is meaningless. I know a couple of rich people and I mean rich as in over a hundred million rich. They seem like they have fun and are always happy but they are just as worried about everything as the rest of us are. And they are not that happy they fight over the same thing as everyone else M O N E Y. There is also the saying "money is the root of all evil" and it's very true. If you only look for a man based on how much money he has then that's all you will ever have.
money doesn't matter in a relationship but make sure you have your own and they have their own. Yes, you guys can share things but when one person is overly dependent on another for financial security then that's when problems start

The only sensible comment so far. Some female comments here are stark embarrassments. Because a guy has asked you out does not mean you should be lazybones and useless. A fair relationship is not skewed to one side. As a girl, you will be respected if you do not trade your dignity and integrity for desperation. No one says, money is not good in a relationship. Whatever happens to the much touted revolution of women empowerment and emancipation, gender equality. Or is it just a catch-phrase? What is wrong with a woman working for her own money rather than parasiting and waiting for her man to provide everything, up to her undies? Both parties in a relationship resolve to offer their best in emotion and material, give a relationship a leverage. Geez! In this 21 century, some women still hitchhike, look up to men to provide everything for them? Most women are so desperate that they don't see anything wrong in being mental and physical slaves to the menfolks just for pieces of notes. Girls, pls stop this nonsense of 'I cant live without a man's pocket'. A real woman offers more than s3x for money
