The same man that brought Oba to his office to apologize while those old enough to be his father pay respect to Oba. The problem with Yoruba started from some homes. |
Trump also encouraged Britain to pull out of EU and US will fill the trade loss. But EU isn't about trade alone. It is a different culture from US. France overreacted instead of asking both US and Australia for some trade deal in return. |
This was already in before Biden but he could have cancelled it with heavy loss to US. It has the finger print of Trump to punish France. |
Dangote came out plainly and said he is reallocating his family fortune abroad. What else would you want to know? MANY African businessmen go into business foremost to launder money outside like foreign businesses have been doing for ages in Africa. Even in war torn Afghanistan, European and American businesses get all the contracts. So all the trillions spent hardly leave America or Europe. Dangote is no dummy, nobody invests in a dying industry in the 20s knowing full well that they are not going to get returns. This is mainly Other People's Money from coconspirator banks to launder money holding a country as collateral. If you think drug money is the only way to buy your land and properties, think again. This and the next generation will curse you in your rotten graves. Dangote and your business men and women laugh: who cares, they are dead! |
I think you guys are too hard on my friend Ronsikkit. He is an optimist and has the right to state his opinion. My problem with him is that those with that view all the time, may become complacent and miss the dilemma starring at us. |
What of those who want their children to do better than them? Service jobs is all it takes. When the whole country turn their attention to one goal, making money: Who are the engineers, nuclear scientists, astronauts, sculptors, doctors, historians, geologists and mental workers? Ani na only money we go chop? What are we going to buy with the money anyway? Man cannot live by Indomitable alone o. |
Nigerians have to do the impossible to redeem the Country like waking up Herbert Macauley, Ikoli, Zik and Awo. |
I agree with you on the One drop rule. But some blacks have beaten it because they look white only to have black kids themselves. Even Presidential candidates have been accused by their opponents for being Black which had been strenuously denied. It is why they say Obama is not the first Black President. Africans are probably more mixed than African Americans but the preference for those looking closer to whites in the West Indian and American families push them into limelight especially in jobs like front offices and Pictures (role).

I thought guys learned their lesson from taxi days. Some of the new cab drivers did this and had to pay for the cab they rented out of their own money instead of taking money home. It is either they have no school fees and house rent to pay or they have no family to take money to. Most of them learn the hard way, very fast. |
Yoruba from Egypt, Igbo from Isreal and Hausa Fulani from Saudi Arabia. Some of these Africans are like a lost child looking for his "real" father. |
No matter how much help we rendered, we must learn to move on and not expect anything back. Just thank God if they do not strike you in the back. If you expect anything back, you are setting up yourself for disappointment. In the case of a woman, no matter how close your relationship, respect her and her new relationship. Do not expect her to keep you at the back pocket and risk messing up her new relationship. Abeg, park make she move on. |
This was Nigeria. The behavior that touched some of us, especially when reward is not expected, can be overwhelming. You just have to be at the right place at the right time with the right lady or man. Fuss and attitude is the norm of the day. |
Another Oil Curse, God forbid bad thing. Nigeria give yourself a break. |
There are people out there that do not know or understand the sacrifice Activists or Freedom Fighters make. Some of the same people you were fighting for would betray you for pittance and ignore you as you suffer for them. It can be a very lonely fight. You may even get killed in the process. If you have family, they would bear the consequences. |
If Buhari and Trump can so can a high maintenance fine lady. |
Too many cars per square meters, period |
BigRocky:I get your point but it has to be more than that. Yes, it scared the hell out of oppressors. They thought it was the beginning of the end. I think the Youths need to read up about student's strikes in Nigeria and students like Kayode Adams, a young man Wole Soyinka. Another one, Sowore later came on board. Then there were activists like Tai Solari, Gani Fawehinmi, Agbakoaba etc. We can even go back to Aminu Kanu, you know the rest. What all these guys had in common was their youthful age. Do not forget, those who form Nigeria Youths Movement would cry if they see today's youth with their soother, iPhone. |
BigRocky:Do you really think these men in their 80s and their beneficiaries care? We cannot take satisfaction from God go punish dem. It is the future and country of our Youths, they must risk the same lives they risk across sea and desert. |
Still need to be verified? So all those coming back home saying the same thing are liers. When a young man sweared that he would rather die crossing desert and sea than remain a slave as untouchable in his village. He would give up kidney, eye ball, liver or risk anything for money that would not cure him. In that case, risk everything and fight your devils at home from your village or your state to make it a better place for you and your children. Civil Rights leaders die fighting on the streets everyday, their children are shot like dogs everyday where you are running to expecting to reap the sacrifices of others for bragging rights on social media. |
Simple and reasonable fact has turned into tribal ping pong. If all Nigerians had eliminated their own devils from their local villages, there would be nobody like Tinubu, Buhari, Ikejiani, Amechi, Speaker Buhari, Okadigbo etc. You know, once upon a time, you dare not steal from your local government. Let everyone go their own way and reform their polity from within. Yoruba deserves and have better leaders than Tinubu but he is the fire some Yoruba use against fire. |
Those African countries accepting refugees from Afghanistan while Russia, China and other countries refused must go for brain surgery. |
There is a guy in the North and another one or two in the South that built helicopter from scraps. There are so much American scraps in Afghanistan, going to neighboring countries, buy them for little or nothing, with a little more training Nigerian wizkids can turn them into use. What they bought from US is a hammer in search of flies. |
Mcreloaded:Think about all the wars, slaves and greed that have been perpetrated in the name of Crusades and Jihads. |
No need replying ignoramus like you but others like you may learn something. Go back to your English professor and ask him about titles. Titles are not sentence. BiafraInc: |
What a difference 20 to 40 years make. Robbers with guns and prayers powers have seized the top spots in Nigeria. Their children even assume upper class in the society. Morality stinks to high heavens as those coming after them also look for money by any means. It all started from individual families. E go beta abi? Sidon dia you hia. |
Do you remember You Chop I Chop Party Nobody Go Fes? Anyone that thinks you can pay a Nigerian more money to stay on the job or stay in the country, do not know about the salaries of our politicians. Do you think Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Swiss, Cuban or Indian scientists are paid like Americans or British? |
I think you need to check into Yaba Left sharp sharp Mayng01: |
iwaeda:Sidon dia dey look. Go read https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/299614/kidnappers-bandits-demand-either-your-fathers-life-or-his.html |
Tony Blair eh? He followed Bush into wars on false pretense. He has respect for American bullies that shot from the hips. So if Biden implementation is imbecilic, what was Trump's that committed to withdrawal in May without taking out US citizens, interpreters and aids. Actually, Trump and his aid Miller frustrated their visa process to US to make sure they never leave and become dead meat for Taliban in exchange for no attack on US soldiers. Tony Blair what do you or did you dare call Trump? |
Chai, see "civilized" Fulani dancing to Christian gospel in Mecca, abi na Kano sef. |
Where is Umar Murtala the underwear bomber when he is needed. justjify(m): 12:10am |
Even the guy who negotiated the release of Taliban leader from Pakistani jail for "Peace" talk with Trump came on TV to blast Biden. Wonder shall never end. |
