Well, Msc don almost turn to pure water these days but for the Phd holder among them (assuming this is true) Na wa for them o, Private Universities abound that would hire them nah, or at least any organisation that has to do with the academics. except they know they can't defend their Phd which in that case they would not be undervaluing them selves...all in all, this is a sad reality in Nigeria...God won't help us until we help ourselves...it all starts in 2015

...At the risk of this thread becoming a tribe bashing one, lets just share some thoughts on this...i am proudly yoruba ( awa ti aromi sa legbe legbe) but there are some aspects of the yoruba community that i consider kind of annoying ..first up

1.Greetings my people - we sabi greet too much ( including over familiarity), maybe its because i can be extremely private sometimes ( actually most times) but my people can greet on any occasion, its like there is a greeting for every possible occasion, sometimes when i'm lost in my own thoughts and i don't reply cause i didn't hear their greetings, you are labelled pompous and all sorts, You would agree that it is all to become friends and some of just are just fine with the few friends we have, we don't need more..

2.Loud and proud - Kai, yorubas are loud , its like there is a silent competition to see who can speak loudest into the phone (this one especially)... in the streets, banking halls and even offices...thankfully, i don't know of any in the bedroom but i must admit, this can also apply to other Nigerians so maybe this is not exclusively ours.

3. Respect is not always reciprocal - how can being respectful be a bad thing, well when it allows people to get away with all sorts of rubbish.. in Yorubaland, respect especially for anyone older than you is almost like sacrilege if not adhered to, but here is the annoying part, respect is earned and not demanded, this is why some folks would just do and undo and be at fault and still expect you to respect them and even apologies on top the matter, just because they were fortunate to enter this world before you, to this i say ...Hian, yoruba parents are so guilty of this. Never expect an apology from your typical yoruba father especially...forget am e no go happen, patapata na inform of bribe..)

4 Parties - Owannbe for real, the final trumpet may be mistaken as an invite to a last minute party by some of my wonderful yoruba folks, i enjoy parties but not every little thing deserves aso ebi, tent, jolorun aka jollof rice and the rest. a friend once commented that he hardly meets my mum at home on any given saturday nough said !!!

feel free to add yours. Now, lets share what you find even slightly annoying about the tribe you come from, novel thread cause my naija people are not known to be self critical of their "tribylogy" everyone seems to be under the illusion that their tribe is the best...hian



Note : for those that would reply with @OP, do not generalise, i am generally speaking ni o, so don't bother

BrAkingNews: These people always trying hard to feel important, blaming GEJ at every opportunity. Ode gbogbo. Maybe he was the one behind you being released too.

He was arrested and harassed by soldiers, dss and police armed and wearing masks, all security agencies controlled by the PDP led government headed by Mr Jonathan...so sir, who should he blame, your Father ?

duh, what should you do end the relationship obviously, cut all contacts with this sick siblings ( they need help) and pray they find help...There is no point spreading their ish around..in the interim...pray maybe, just maybe one of them is adopted ( which still doesnt make it right o....just saying)




All these apply if your story is indeed true, if not PDP must not return to Aso Rock in 2015.

its a pity some of us are so blinded by hate, and hatred for muslims that even the most atrocious war crimes is justifiable as long as the victims are muslims...People all around the world , that still posses what makes them human are protesting the fact that isreal continues to kill unharmed women and children in gaza while claiming that they are targeting hamas militants, yes Militants they are and not terrorist, a little piece of education here...Terrorism would be spreading terror right but when people are fighting for what most of us take for granted i.e a right to self determination, a right to a country of their own which has been denied them by isreal and her western allies for over 60 years, tell me how such a people would not be angry, imagine your town is encroached by some people and a mediator now tells you to let peace reign and partitions your land, after fighting as any human would, you agree but these intruders continue to steal your land, build houses, deny you to even build something as basic as an airport or sea port so that you can run your own economy..do u guys know palestinians are the only people in the world that are stateless, they do not have a country of their own, even papua new guineans know they have a country, but palestinians don't..haba, and you expect such a people to be happy and not want to blow isreal out of the sky even as they know for sure they do not have the man power to...that is what the west and isreal continue to breed ...maybe some of us need to learn a bit of history and see that isreal is the wrong party here, isreal have a right to exist and so do the palestinians, for one party to deny the other with the backings of the most of earths citizen is a crime against humanity.

Any latest news on ds project...anyone with new pictures should pls post o

U know what ...I see beauty as what is within and what is "with- out - in"....Tiwa Savage is beautiful inside nd out...I love her personality. So to me..she is beautiful !

Wife nd guy obviously use to be intimate, guy hasn't moved on and he's trying to cause friction in her marriage to may be have a chance with her again...the sensible thing for her to do now is to return the gifts to d dude nd remind him that she is now married and should not send that kind of gift to her again...or any kind sef #QED

Don't get me wrong but it seems my Christian brethren are kinda stingy - er during their own celebrations like xmas nd eastern..I had ds discussion with a Christian friend just today that compared to Sallah nd other celebrations where I have countless parties to attend, Christmas always seems to be dull as most of 'em prefer to just cook for "me and my family alone in d living room things" or visit nice locations with d family offcuz...so where the party @ my christian brethren..
Note : This is not to slant any religious group, The OP is as tolerant of opposing view as they may come so all Religious Bigots really need not comment. Thanks

aManFromMars: God, demons and Satan love to breed in gullible minds.

You stop to believe in God and he moves out with his faithful servant Lucifer, JesUs,Gabriel and friends.

When bad things happen to us, we know the solution will not come by swimming miracle water or sowing seed faith offerings. When we go broke, we check our spending habits not blame it on some mythical devourers that are God's EFCC for tithe defrauders. When bad things happen to us, we understand that it is a cycle of life not punishment from some jobless omnipotent being.


DEMONS are afraid of reason and knowledge.

Though, I aint no Atheist, I agree with some of the points u have raised here...I think Religious people can free their minds from some of this rubbish they hold their...I know their is a God but I believe he must be tired @ how gullible some have become due to religion..I also believe religion and reason can go in tandem

It is safe to say d op has entered one chance...Nigerians can see behind d illumi - logic dt really makes no sense.

[quote author=D_RealGeesam]It depends on the current exchange rate. Think it's 172 naira to $1 (not sure cos of the recent drop in the naira's value)
But land on banana island costs abt 680 million to 1.1 billion per plot.
The cheapest houses goes for about 1.4 billion
While the rent is abt 250 million naira per annum, but since u must pay 2 years upfront, the least rent u can pay is 500 million naira.
Dont for get you have to pay what they call service charge which is abt 2.8 million naira. This would chater for security (which is quite tight), Waste management, landscaping etc. Life is quiet and nice there.
P.s been there courtesy of work with Etisalat[/quote]Haba, U just pulling up figures from no where here,The island is expensive but not this expensive,to describe d size of lands as a "plot" would be misleading, instead its d actual size of d land nd location (lagoon view nd d rest) dt determines d price.

Dr2great: Rubbish! Toto when iyanya don Bleep tire

because ur stuuupppid self was fanning them while they were doing it abi.....mscteewh

Almost every topic on nairaland these days can be turned into an avenue for tribal bashings and all...really pathetic...anyways, I be confirmed islander (isale eko) awa aromi sa legbe legbe, I schooled in ikorodu and I can say here dt if there is any cultural practice I think yorubas should do away with, its Oro ish...back then is secondary school, oro festival in ikd meant we had no class on these days (yipee) but as I grew older, I saw the silliness in restricting peoples movement just because some of you have this religious/ cultural stuff you do, it is wrong, do ur stuff but you have absolutely no right to tell me I have to stay in doors and not come out (effectively imprisoning me) just because you want to dance around naked and shit, there was one time I was driving my mum from ogun coming to lagos and we had to take a detour cuz of heavy traffic, we entered a village and were informed oro was going, see my poor mother on panic mode, she had to hide behind d seats and covered up in her own car just because of oro..WTF !...there are so many instances where one would just have to go out during their festival and it could be matters of life and death...don't get me wrong, my cultural defending omo odua, everyone is free to practice whatever faith they choose to,its even a plus for yorubaland, but denying others the God given freedom of movement is just plain stupid, same with the rubbish enviromental sanitations saturdays of Lagos ( but at least dt na just for a few hours and early saturdays are usually slow) we can manage....my point is. That oro guys should find a way to do their ish without infringing on others the right of movement.

Etisalat started operations between June/ July 2008...I am sure of this cuz something significant was going on personally then...def not 1st of November..op has got ds info wrong..

What i see in this pictures is their really good looking Airport....Compared to MMIA or Abuja Airport...our should be referred to as a Bus Terminal

Yes, they also skype, twit, bbm,facebook msg, yahoo messaging and all, in short they also have adopted 21st century communication...

This is the type of Adventure i would like to embark on...but instead am stock in this job that pays but sometimes bore me to death...oh well...maybe next life then

Not a musician though , but Binta of the Binta nd friends fame served in OGUN state, Batch B 2012

Its sad a certain Goodluck Jonathan is President where we've got a Henry Boyo, Pat Utomi or Babatunde Fashola, its sad really...Goodluck Nigerians !

I wonder o.

Mayany: Is he related to Evans Bipi?

Or David Oyedepo ?

This is serious...well, we heard from sources on the ground during the elections proper that APC was sweeping at the pools only for the Final result to return PDP as winners...i think this guys should be pushed to National Consciousness. There is still HOPE for Nigeria

Simple, the world and universe is just too intelligently made to have happened by chance ( the big bang theory) surely, there is an intelligent being at the helm of affairs...call him what you want....He is Allah.

A lil bit of education..this report originated from a south korean newspaper and we all know they aint friends, both side are always trying to outdo one another in reporting negative stories(real and imagined) True,the kims are crazy but even the websites reporting this can't confirm if it really happened, even his father wasn't this mad (most reports about him were grossly exaggerated by the west ofcourse)

i entered ife for the 1st time too on july 13th, took sis for post jamb things and just like the Poster, i was blown away...i felt like going there for some course or something, very stimulating environment....the funny thing is with the tress and thick forest, one would think Cultism would thrive there but nope, it does not rear its head in that school...even though i finished from LASU...i cant help but also hail...GREAT IFE..

Funny thing is that he didn't even contest his extradition...dude won enter USA free of charge nd visa..good for him


But when he gets to Guatanamo ehn, he'n go hear am
