Great article. I understand that, for the writer to appear balanced, he had to add this statement, "The northern part of the country is not the only one guilty of this cabalism, but they are the greater beneficiaries of it. Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan had his own wing man, Oronto Douglass. When Douglass, a top aide of Goodluck Jonathan fell sick and eventually died, something shifted in the GEJ administration. He was described as “one of those who had the most far-reaching influence on President Jonathan”.
This is where the dishonesty of journalists comes into fore. You cant just slip Oronto Douglas in there without telling us the religious, ethnic card he played which was similar to Pantami. Did he say he supported Al Qaeda too? Did he declare Fatwa on students? Did he push Nigeria into some non-Muslim extremist global group?
No. Of course he never did these things. Why slip his name in there without providing similar context? You dont compel balance, my dear journalist. If it exists, it effortlessly presents itself. Anything else is dishonest.
If you attempt to trace those who are funding the rebels, the arms and ammunition will be traced to the US or European States who are allies with the United States. Hence, I have little pity when US diplomats get caught in the crossfire of these rebel groups. While arm them using proxies?
Luckidunbe: Good morning nairalanders, I am writing this with pains in my heart because my junior brother has been brainwashed totally.
My brother was 23 years old when he made his first million. I trained him and took him to a friend of mine who sells electrical parts in Alaba intl, he served him for 5 years and settled him with a shop worth 500k at the age of 20. I too surported his business with 300k cash, and everything was moving fine. At the age of 22 years my brother told me he wants to buy a land, I gave him go-ahead, at 23 he bought a Toyota muscle.... this year he is clocking 25years ... (fast forward)
I was in my warehouse when his former boss called me and told me that I should warn my junior brother about the way he invites church people to his shop to pray, that they are after his money and I called my brother and told him and warned him that he should be careful of those church people, Now My brother has stopped going to his shop regularly. He gave church his car for evangelism, he donated almost all his AC and standing fans to church ... Now the shop is becoming empty, the only thing in his packing store is 20 stabilizer and 6 ceiling fans, someone who boast of 10million Worth of Goods in packing store ....
It is sad that your brother has fallen victim of False Prophets. It is a scourge that has befallen many naive but good Christians who have mortgaged their own spiritual growth and advancement to these so-called "prophets" and "pastors" that claim to "see road". These guys are fraudsters and many of them use diabolic means in the name of "spiritual things" to trap unsuspecting people. As Nigeria has grown economically bad, they have increased in number.
1. You need to pray for your brother. Believe me, beating him, tying rope on his neck would not break the spiritual cage he is in. 2. You need to use the military to warn those "church" people. If you can arrest and "handle" some of them. 3. Delete every contact he has with them. 4. Pray seriously for him. He is under severe bondage. 5. Those false prophets have probably told him that you are the household enemy that is responsible for him going down in business. Ridiculous, but believe me, he has been fully hypnotised.
Good. Until it happens, keep your criticism on her feminism argument in your pocket. When people without results start talking, you know the society is running into a brickwall.
BluDesk: Adichie is a lost cause. She should just stick to her lifting contents and earning some bucks out of it and leave society alone
The person who is the purveyor of feminism, as it should be, the global face of feminism is now, a "lost cause", because she's refused to agree to your wicked ways?
Nigerians. You lots are clowns. When you achieve 5% of what Adichie has achieved, let us know. So that we can take you seriously.
Papertrails: Please nairalanders I need your advice on something that has been bothering me for sometime now.
I am a young graduate who graduated from the university almost two years ago and am done with my youth service too but am still trying to get a job or put up something maybe a business that will be fetching me money considering the situation of our country in terms of availability of jobs.
Then there's is this girl I have been dating for three years and everything has been going well but recently she has been really disturbing me to come and see her people or get her pregnant, am someone that will do everything within my power to make sure my kids don't pass through the hardship I have passed through being someone that wasn't born with a silver spoon, and another thing is that I really love this girl. Am really confused and don't know what to do.
1. When you are broke and jobless, it is best and wise to ignore having a girlfriend and FOCUS on getting a job, getting yourself established. 2. If you decide to have a girlfriend, let her know AND agree that there would be no engagement/marriage/ child UNLESS you have been established. 3. It is foolish and wicked to bring in another person to this world when you are struggling to eat. 4. Emotions, love, kisses, does not bring food to the table. Hopefully, you can make decisions based on reason and logic and not emotions. 5. Finally, if you both are really in love, you have to merge love + common sense. Make the commitment to get married to her, but she should wait till you have a job. When you do, fulfil that commitment. Otherwise, leave her to go to someone else ready. Females dont have the kind of time males have.
mekaboy: Good. Guess what? Foreign investment will move away from the region. More unemployment, more insecurity, more poverty, more violence and deaths.
Very soon all international flight will be diverted to SW, the airlines give security as an excuse. All airports in the east will remain empty.
Then kanu and his followers will blame yoruba media and fulani army for attacks.
Congrats Nnamdi Kanu the scammer, Biafra land is looking good.
All hail Biafra
Thank you very much for this. Now help the South East (since you are very concerned) by ask Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists to leave South Eastern lands. Please. Thank you as you do so.
When your people go and do Iju Ase and tell you "No way", give them this Nairaland report and say it has been abolished That is when you know life online and off line are different. You guys online just love to pretend to yourselves.
Jollylolly: The question is how is it possible for someone who didnt give you work sack you; in this case, Buhari appointed Adamu, sent his name to the senate (same way he did for Malami) for confirmation. How can a appointee sack the other appointee?
Make we dey try reason with our brains and sense this type of things before trying. Dont just comment for vibe sake. Engage intellectually.
First of all, you must be very naive to think that Buhari is in charge of anything. When Abba Kyari was alive, it was known that he was in charge. You think this will change now he is dead? Nature abhors a vacuum. Someone will step into that vacuum.
Malami got mad that Adamu travelling with Osinbajo was (1) Validating Osinbajo's trip and (2) Giving the suggestion that Osinbajo was Acting President and legitimising it.
Klass99: The Litigator, thankfully you didn't write in that annoying legal language that gives me a migraine.
This was clear and direct communication and I also felt your humanity come through in your words, you lawyers need to keep things simple when communicating.
Now, to the topic. Ordinary boyfriend that time I been wan craze I can't even imagine what it's like when it's a spouse. It was a roller coaster of different emotions;
1. Hurt/pain. 2. Anger towards boyfriend. 3. Jealousy towards the other girl. 4. Feeling insecure, like wasn't I okay or good enough in looks, carriage and all for him to cheat......
Until I grew up and matured some more to understand that, it's just the way of you men.
They said wife or husband.
Boyfriend and girlfriend, you guys are fornicators. Why cry?
Zzor: Men are very good at saying a particular thing but act the exact opposite, you will see men all over social media saying they will go for brains over beauty but in reality you will see these same men ignoring the brain and going extra length to attract a beautiful lady and eventually marry them.
I have a friend (a first class product) who is bitterly complaining of not attracting men and that if she had options she will choose beauty first and a moderate brain.
Men why do you guys act this way but in reality you do the opposite?
First class product + bad attitude = Trouble in attracting men.
First class product + homely, respectful, very good attitude = Will attract men.
Gerrard59: Some years ago, I was like Etrange, but after understanding the differences between men and women esp in sexual needs, I've realised that a man who fvcks around cannot be compared to a woman who does same. This is more profound when the man is a high value individual like Davido or Flavour. The consequences aren't the same.
Well, the bold cannot happen as ladies are hypergamous and this hypergamy affects their minds and choices.
That's why I no longer pity ladies again, at least when it is specific to women who KNOW a man is frivolous, but choose to open their legs for him and start crying when he goes to the next baby mama. I'll rather "cry that cry" for Yemeni children.
etrange: The boys that jump from one woman to another aren't "hoes" but the women they left are the hoes? It's either you don't know the meaning of that word or you're just a sexist.
Both are hoes.
Unfortunately, the societal consequences hit the lady more. Especially if the man is a high value man. LADIES should know this and stop fooling themsleves. You know a man is a hoe with a string of baby mamas, and you went to open leg for him? dont you have brains to use?
saphiere: It will never be well with Davido if he does not do the needful.
This is for every girl out there to learn a lesson
Davido has daughters. May this he has done to Chioma and many more be upon his daughters in Jesus name I pray Amen.
Davido, I redraw peace from you wherever you are. You shall have no peace until you do the needful.
Chioma was dating someone with a string of baby mamas, what was she and you and all her fans expecting? A responsible man? Because of what? Food and Ifeanyi?
kingthreat: Shut up. The military is a united brotherhood consisting of soldiers of all tribes. In a war, you win and lose. This is one of the losses, Nigerian army will rise again. While cowards will keep ranting.

DaddyRochie1642: Imagine, so after he has completed the traditional marriage, she went ahead to commit such an act. Why didn't she break it off before the went ahead with the traditional wedding.
The Blood of that man is on that stupid woman's head.
And her future children. They will bear the effects of nothing they never contributed to.
