Shaprara:
Hoping LP looses.

Haha.
Polls show that Conservatives will hold.
The Lib Dem’s are dealing with Labour in those Labour remain areas. I see the Lib Dems as Tory proxies.

Shaprara:
My advice to this patriots is to go to the British parliament and British press, print what the government is going on the front pages, tell it to British parliament. Small pressure Bihari will fold.

Westminster is on recess.
Campaign season.

LordVoldermort:
UK have suffered, after decolonizing this country they still have to put up with our crap

They are still ruling via their Fulani proxies.

Teewhy2:
We hope Nigeria is not going back to days of fear.
All the effort put into hate speech bill and inconclusive corruption charges should be channel into giving us stable electricity and see how poverty will reduce.
If hate speech bill has been approved since 2013-14, only GOD knows if Lai Mohammed will be around.

You hope?

Hahahahaha! When all the signs, real and perceived, are there?
Why do we pretend a lot in Nigeria?

Articles on Washington Post, CNN and The Guardian all in a space of 3 days.
About issues that have been happening in Nigeria since last year.

Someone has activated their foreign assets in the Press.
If you know, you know.

Meanwhile, I expect Tolu to write a rejoinder this week

emmyid:
Yes can say Davido. Not Burna. Burna just became a mega star this year. Let's see how long he last.

We are referring to their current status/state.
Whether this year or last year, what is obtainable now?

Pafoma:
Guys! I need serious, real and honest contributions.. Thanks to all that will contribute.

I have a lady whom i am dating. I truly love and care about her but she has been with people that are in my circle and this disturbs me. She didnt used to be a straightforward and totally faithful person but i see that she is making efforts towards being completely honest and straightforward but still i dont have rest in my spirit about taking the decision to marry her.

I have observed she is soft with guys and is not firm, although i am aware it takes time for someone used to a particular pattern or lifestyle to adjus. I need help because breaking up with this lady will mean that i have to look for someone else to start the entire circle with again and who knows what if the new one also comes with even worse baggages.

My questions are these

1. What do you advice i do?
2. Who has been in similar situation where you fell in love with a lady your friends and circle have been with then married her? What was the experience like including things to look out for..
3. How can be sure i wont regret the decision to go forward?

Please feel free to ask me any question and i’ll answer if they are not sarcastic or jokes..

Thank you.

Dump her and move on.
You are clearly not at peace and want words of validation here to convince you of an issue you are not at peace with.
This would be pretending to yourself. Hugely dangerous in the long-term.

Dump her and move on. There are millions of ladies available that can replace her.

Stevecovey:
It's that time of the year again, when Nigerian celebrities & influencers troop into Dubai for the One Africa Music Festival.

Of course other private Nigerians also take advantage of the opportunity to go party with their favourites in yachts, clubs and on stage in Dubai.

Theyve been documenting their trips on social media.

Looking forward to OneAfricaTechnologyFestival

9jayes:
Burna no be their mate

Thank you.

allstarfestus:
davido yes , Burnabiy no no

Travel around the world and you will say something different.
Mind you, I am not a fan of those sort of music. I think they talk about se.x, women, money etc, too much when music to me is an art that has always been considered serious when used for social change and social good.
However, the influence of those three artists comes at you in your face. That you begin to analyse them and their impact.

ruththeprincess:
The text message a FUTO lecturer sent to his IT student who choose to do it in Kaduna has left many shocked.

A student of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO) who chose to have he mandatory industrial training (IT) in Kaduna received an unbelievable text message from her lecturer who is to come supervise her at place of training.

Social media user, Chinoso shared the alleged text message from the lecturer and it reads;

Hi I am Engr…… from metallurgy and materials department. So of all the places you could do your I.T you chose to go to Kaduna? I just read in the papers now that bandits stopped two buses at kachia Kaduna south and kidnapped everybody, demanding 1.5 million ransome per head… that is the place you want me to come supervise you? I.T gbuo gi dia… when you come to school bring your log book to my department for signing. And am going to remove 10 marks for this nonsense you did. Attempting to permanently separate me from my wife and children. God day.

LOL
This is comical. But one doesn’t blame him.
If police men and military men are lobbying to escape postings to the North, it Corp members are running from such postings, is it a civilian lecturer that won’t run?

I understand his predicament.

Joshmodest:
It will take any other Nigerian artist years of consistent hardwork and persistence to reach where wizkid is now ....
Among all his folks now he's the greatest !!!

Burna Boy and Davido could say the same thing too.

LabDNA:
Osinbajo is a closet tribalist. Did you see list of people that work in the VP office. How many were Igbos and non-yoruba. Zilch!

Agreed.

But being a Closet tribalist and a performer (Osinbajo) and being a confirmed tribalist and an confirmed incompetent and a despot (Buhari), the choice if one is fairly objective, is easy.

Racoon:
The biggest ridicule and embarrassment are so called educated people like Falana, Wole Soyinka, Sowore that allowed parochial sentiments to becloud their sense of sound judgement in order to enthrone the tyrannt Nigeria have today.

Parochial sentiments = Tribalism.
We should say things as they are.

Nexus25:
Same here.

We love to win but not scared of losing

Thank you for your time.

No wahala.
Thank you for your time as well. Best!

Nexus25:
If you know this much, why have you not educated your brothers that southern unity never existed?

Why have you not lectured them on the political permutations from the first Republic?

Why didn't you tell them that SE has always aligned with the North with the exception of 2015 and 19?

Where was Southern Unity when your people voted against Awolowo?
Where was the unity when they voted against Abiola?
Didn't the unity exist when they connived with the North to impose Obj against Falae...the preferred choice of the west?

See, an average westerner is not stereotypical. We believe is dynamics, when it favours us, we clap. If otherwise, we play along.

No amount of blackmail can stop west from contesting in 2023, definitely not a pseudo southern unity.

LOL.
I have never said I "know this much". You need to calm down and stop the over-reaction.
The SW will contest in 2023. This is fairly certain. And I wish them the best. I actually want them to contest.
I use the word, "fairly" because I am not a prophet or God, so can't be specific about a future occurence.
The North will contest in 2023. Again, this is fairly certain. They do not understand democratic processes and have always believed being President is their right.
The North will manipulate the divisions in the South and militarise the elections (we saw a test-run of that in 2019) and will likely "win" the elections. The South will be too divided to put up a fight. See how Sowore has been abandoned? You have the Edo State APC chairman, a former "mid-west" state, supporting the North. You see, we currently have minature versions of what will happen in 3/4 years time. We pretend a lot but it stares at us in the face.

Again, I wish everyone the best.

Nexus25:
Stop hyperventilating. Nobody is stopping you from voting a Northerner. Westerners are not begging you, they don't need you. You're irrelevant in their calculations.

You voted against Abiola

You voted against Awolowo.

Heaven did not fall. Do it again and stop fuming in the mouth

Capish?

LOL. No need to get overly emotional. Calm down.
I have not said anyone is begging anyone.
I have only relayed history to show that the accusation of the Old Eastern republic being tribalist, is simply NOT true.
Of course you know this. You seem knowledgeable.
The Old Eastern Nigeria could NOT vote Awolowo because he is a KNOWN tribalist. They hate tribalism.

Igbos had the chance to vote Ojukwu in an election. Remember? Of course you do. Of course they didnt because there was simply no permutation that he could win. Yet Ojukwu is a great Igbo man!
They vote candidates that are nationalist, non-bigotted and with proven leadership competency.
Put Osinbajo/Ribadu and Buhari/an Igbo candidate, the Igbo man will NEVER vote for Buhari and will choose Osinbajo/Ribadu, regardless of the noise made on Nairaland. Why vote for someone whose rule will make you economically, mentally, physically and security-wise worse off after a year after the elections?

Makes no sense to an Igbo man.

Rekhina:
I overheard yorubas saying they will attack igbos (Delta ,akwaibom ,rivers and liberal MIDDLEBELT ) if 2023 isn't theirs ,
I have reported d case to chiefs and highmen in portharcourt through ICT and,someone sent me d videos of big men discussing tinubus plan ...

If the North says they will attack Igbos, then we would be concerned.
If the South West says so... LOL, we would throw an owanmbe party for them. Attack ke, attack ni.
No be today

Sagay212:
But ya'll would still be ones to cry the most and curse and wail about being marginalised. You will cry about islamisation and the rest..just because of senseless hatred. Yorubas jave absolutely nothing to lose whether the presidency comes to the SW or not. At least by 2023 you won't have to blame Yorubas for all the problems you face in your miserable, hateful lives after voting for the north you hate so much.
Ya'll supported atiku only because of peter adaobi. If atiku did not choose adaobi as running mate, you hateful animals would have called him names and remembered he is fulani.

Well, history does not support your allegation here, Bro.

The Old Eastern region supported Obasanjo. Obasanjo is not an Igbo man.
They supported him again, even against Buhari who fielded an Okadigbo and another Igbo man (forgotten his name) as Vice Presidential candidate.
They supported Yar Adua- who isnt Igbo.
They supported GEJ who isn't Igbo.
They supported Atiku, who isnt Igbo.

The Old Eastern region have a habit of looking at the field and supporting a candidate who is demonstrably NOT a bigot, who is a nationalist, who has some education and proven competency in leadership, amongst the top candidates.

Rekhina:
blame chameleon yoruba

Well, history is replete with the Yoruba (by this, I refer to their political elite) jettisoning agreement and united fronts with other parts of Southern Nigeria in order to pursue a "plan" with the core North.
From all accounts, they have been dealt with by the core North. From the jailing of Awolowo till the jailing and murder of MKO till the current sabotaging of Tinubu/Osinbajo, they haven't actually gained the benefit of their "chameleonic" behaviour to borrow your words.
However, if Nigeria has to move forward, 21st century forward, the other parts of the South have to drop their valid concerns about the Yoruba political elites and find a way to work with them. Else, in 2023, mark my words, we would have another Northern President. Or still Buhari.

Rekhina:
All igbos nigerdelta will support hausa

Hahaha!
They would, in order to give the middle finger to Tinubu and his gang.
Southern disunity is only going to mean that the North continue ruling and, as they have shown, perpetuating a continuum of poverty in the country.
Which is a sad thing.

blackboy:
Serves him right. Always might what you say. Be constructive in your criticism. And when protesting protest peacefully. Build bridges mend fences and unite never divide

There was actually nothing hateful, false or negative with what he said. Once we analyse his tweet with logic and not with emotions.
He was scathingly blunt. That is all.

We live in a post-truth, snow-flake, offense-obsessed world and I get that; but asides the easily-triggered emotions of people, there was nothing false with what he said. Humans generally hate accountability. But you never grow or get better without being accountable to your actions.

His tweet only put the spot-light on South Africans and South Africa which, in the light of the photo and video-evidenced xeonophobic violence, they would have loved to avoid.

[s]Read what you wrote and ask whether an iota of sense is found in it!

I am sure you knew that there was no iota of sense in what you wrote.
Yet you wrote it.
I do not blame you, though. I respect your right to an opinion, sensible or not.

popsy2:
Perilous times. The beast you all created.

Soyinka was a hero of mine.

Until he jettisoned history and the simple voice of reason to support the installation of this regime.
Now; I am indifferent to him and his statements. Millions of Nigerians are.
I don’t blame him. Once Amaechi trapped him with that Birthday dinner and leaked the dinner amount to the Press, it was all over for Soyinka’s moral credibility.

Stalwert:
[s][/s]

Always expect foolish posts like this. Akintola just proved the be million times better than whatever CAN aspire to be. CAN always support humiliating Muslim girls even when it is non of their business yet MURIC did not tie their perverse mode of reasoning.

Actually, CAN doesn’t release any press release. That’s why no one actually knows who’s the President of CAN or its Secretary/ publicity secretary. Unlike MURIC.

Stop lying.

saajus:
God Bless you for shutting up the insensitive guy that pulled up irrelevant cases. It's Sowore today, it could be anybody tomorrow. Why should a Govt agency be against the rule of law. Let's forget the event that led to his arrest. He has been granted bail and he has met his bail conditions, then free him.

I do not support Sowore, one bit. I think he should be held accountable for being a key part of the bridge foisted this proven despotic regime on Nigeria due to his hate of GEJ and what GEJ represented. His Sahara Reporters was an efficient Buhari/El Rufai/APC campaign tool.?Accountability is important. I am sure he would agree with me.

However, regardless of the individual, I am objective enough to find inaccuracies and lies reprehensible- hence my response to the fellow that alleged that WaPo kept quiet on Khashoggi. That is a blatant lie as Khashoggi was a WaPo associate staff. They have written countless articles for Khashoggi, unlike them.

I am also a believer in the rule of law and despite my belief that accountability is supreme in life, the rule of law is sacrosanct. As the courts have asked that he be released, I will support any move to prevail on the despotic regime he foisted on Nigerians to release him.

samdigo90:
The Washington post released an article condemning Muhammadu Buhari today over the continued detention of Sahara Reporter's Omoyele sowore. See article below:

I expect Garba Shehu to put out a response to this.

They normally fear the Western Press.

Eteka1:
They didn't condemn the Saudis for killing Saudi critic Jamal Khassogi and dissolving his body in acid before pouring it down the drains in their embassy in Turkey.
They didn't condemn the witchhunt of journalist Julian Assange for exposing the evil deeds of the American military.
They didn't condemn the witch hunt of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning etc.

For the brutal murder and beheading and chopping off, of Khashoggi, they did.

Fammoboy10:
Yeah you are right.
He just played with a black mamba: a very fast, venomous and deadly snake.

It can strike unaware, even when someone is not pursuing it.

Yup. It’s a black mamba. The type I’ll tell my friends, “kill it before it sees you”. Highly venomous sub-Saharan African breed. Only found in the tropics.

It is very curious at anything that moves or has a heat map/ heat radiation that it can feel. Then it strikes, with precision.

It was an opportunity to kill it and probably save someone’s life (because it looks like it was running away), but he ducked.

Mynd44:
Wait, isn't Atiku who he supported from the so-called "Muslim North"? What is this bigot on these days?

Be there deceiving yourself.

Harrymig1:
God forbid

That’s not enough to stop it from happening.
