Yea. He has to support a team until that team beats Pillars in Kano and he will be very lucky to come out of the stadium alive. Free advice for you all: never align with a shameless person. And I mean any person that's as shameless as Nigeria!

lordm:
Like I said , you haven't been to a stadium to watch their league match.
Try picking a team to support and watch

Atiku isn't atikulate on this one. He knows he isn't winning this thing. Who wants another geriatric - after Buhari and Tinubu - as Nigerian president? I smell narcissism of a certain kind here.

I have a question for you. Why is it "whichever son" when it's time to bury the father, but only the first son when it's time to inherit the father's house? That's why I think most Igbo customary rules/practices are intended to inflict injustice and unfairness. What would be fair is for whichever son that buried the father to also claim whatever entitlement is attached to shouldering such a huge burden. Throughout Igboland, there are many first sons in name only. The one time they show up is to claim their right; to "fight" for their right even. They are never present when responsibility calls.

Nbote:
So becos U are the lastborn in your family and look after your siblings including the Eldest every first born is poor and irresponsible?? That comment reeks of crass ignorance and arrogance. The saying in Igboland U quoted isn't complete. The complete saying says "Whichever son is able should bury his father. The first son didn't kill him". That saying further highlights the pressure and expectations on firstborn sons. In Ngwa land, there is a saying that not until the death of an imbecilic first son, the wisest second son can't head the family. So I don't know how much U think U have done for them to make U make a generalization that sounds and reeks of arrogance.

There's nothing about Obama's life, education or career that he couldn't defend himself. Don't go putting yourself as the best this and the first that without carefully crossing all your t's and dotting all your i's. When they come for you and find nothing, they leave you alone. This Arday guy had some shadiness about him so much so he buckled once an investigation was announced.

AndroBlaze:
So every black person that achieves something in the Western world should be afraid of the media abi.....

I wonder, if someone like Obama had taken this advice, would he have ever had the chance to become a Senator, let alone the first minority President in a modern America!

This thing is not as complicated as people are making it out to be. My advice to fellow immigrants is no matter what you achieve, stay true to yourself and the community that you know birthed/molded you....if you keep this rule, it will guide you and save you from most of the invisible traps that are being set.

Fair enough. But in our culture we have a saying that if you're surrounded by enemies, you're in constant watch over your life. This young man should've stayed in his lane unless he had watertight defenses. But no. He fell into a familiar trap for many black people. He wanted to be best this, best that, youngest this. All the while with porous defenses. On top of that, too, he made attacking the white establishment for racism his academic calling card. They weren't going to let him alone. The white professor you named didn't tell him to plagiarize portions of his dissertation! He probably knew he was going to be caught during an investigation and bailed out through the nearest exit. If he was sure of himself, he would have collaborated with the investigators. Him taking his own life shows he simply couldn't handle life once his carefully constructed facade was gone.

motymop:
so many silly people in the comment section.

This guy was targeted because of his Race and the originator was Nathan Cofnas a very controversial white professor that was sacked by Cambridge and who have been writing articles to smear black people, he alerted a Cambridge faculty member and ran Arday's 2015 PhD thesis through a plagiarism-detection software. He publicly posted side-by-side text comparisons showing over 100 passages matching an earlier 2009 doctoral thesis.

Cofnas framed the discovery as a direct attack on diversity hiring, arguing that elite universities lower academic standards for minority candidates and then the main stream media pick up the story and started their own agenda

see...the Liverpool John Moores University, the school that awarded the black guy PhD had previously investigated and cleared him of wrongdoing regarding his thesis. However, following mounting media pressure and calls from some Cambridge academics for an independent inquiry into his hiring, Cambridge announced a review of its processes, leading to Arday's resignation

you know what, as a black guy, never be the poster boy for any agenda of white people cultural war ( immigration or any stuff) it is always a setup, white institutions wont protect you when things goes south

If a white professional makes a mistake or falls short, it's treated as an individual failure. If a Black professional placed on a pedestal makes a mistake, the culture war turns it into a verdict on all Black people

Turns out the Nigerian woman elected is actually from Igboland. Why are Nigerians like this?

I'm not entering any argument or debate with you. Whether I am 22 or 62 years old is also immaterial. But this much I can tell you. As of June 12, 1993 I was already a lawyer in Nigeria for 4 years. I lived under Abacha. If you're honest, let's do a little exercise. Between Abacha in 1996 and Tinubu in 2026 who do you think an ordinary average Nigerian will vote for? I mean an ordinary average Nigerian, not one like you carrying the bag of a politician and pretending to be alive. Your answer to that question, if you're honest, speaks volumes. Bye.

nairalanda1:
This one has told us he is 22 years old without telling us he is 22 years old.

All you have said was said in 1965 and 1982. And it always ended up in tears.

Plus you guys don't participate in your democracy. And you always vote for the worng People

And Na army, made up of the same old Nigerians that make up the civilian government that you trust?

It's because you never lived under army rule.


I no like Tinubu , so no go there

I have resisted every temptation to countenance the military as an alternative to the charade pretending to be a democracy in Nigeria. Until now. If we must live in a dictatorship, which is the path Tinubu and INEC are pushing the country, we should just go for the real thing rather than its fake. Nigerians are already suffering anyways. I can't see how the military makes it worse than it already is. Nigerians are also absolutely not better off than the people of Burkina Faso under Traore. It's time to put an end to the farce that's going on there in the guise of democracy. Enough should truly be enough.

In any sane society, she would already be talking to the police and prosecutors. If this isn't obtaining property by a false pretence, I wonder what is.

With a last name like that - Amụ Peter!

They're all bad people, including the fake peacemaker Pantami. But El-Rufai doesn’t have a soul. In that moment he was plotting the next chapter in his treachery and betrayal.

Reno back to his bad manners. We were taught as kids never to talk when there's food on the table. He should just sit down, shut his mouth and eat this food he fought so long for.

This clown has been ignored by everyone. So, he reverts to what he knows best - lying, negotiating with fake characters that call him Sir, or making deals with himself.

The public unraveling of Omoyele Sowore is a pathetic thing to witness. It confirms the old saying that one can die a hero or they can live long enough to become the villain. It's a sad spectacle because some people did respect him.

Wow. Used to live on the same street with this legend around the Adetola street, Aguda, Surulere area of Lagos. He was a brilliant footballer who didn't quite fulfill his immense potential. He couldn't take his talents to Europe because, as I read in one of his interviews, he was scared of the cold weather. He clearly could have been the Okocha before Okocha. May his soul rest in peace.

Why is the site always promoting noisemakers like Nyesom Wike and Reno Omokri?

We've been trying to educate people like you on this platform for a long time. But you'll never learn. When you don't understand how the economy works or how pricing, income, and purchasing power all interact, don't dabble into it. Stick to what you're good at: gossip.

Yes. God will bless them. Then God will punish you for stewpidity.

I remember that old song. One step forward two steps backward ina Babylon! In 2019 we were told everything worked a treat. Yakubu repeated the lie in 2023 to justify the billions he collected. Now they're walking all those claims back. In both 2019 and 2023 the glitch happened after the fact. Now they're frontloading the glitch, enshrining it in the law before it ever happens.

This social media world is going to destroy all of us. None will be spared. People say wacky stuff just to draw social media attention to themselves. At the end of the day it's all these contrived controversies are really about.

This is not accurate information. The reason Canadians have higher life expectancy isn't just the food - if at all. It's a combination of factors often described by experts as the social determinants of health. I won't go into that. Research by Canadians themselves show that immigrants, including Nigerians, have more diminished health the longer they stay in Canada. This means that a Nigerian who arrived Canada 5 years ago is less healthy today than when they first arrived. Canadian experts call this "the immigrant health effect". You can google it. Talking of food, most of what Canadians eat are sugar-based and genetically modified food. There are lots of fruits and vegetables. But they're also mostly inorganic and therefore with less health benefits. There's more to health than just food. Having a noisy I pass my neighbor generator polluting your ears and robbing you of sleep is one of those social determinants of health.

He dies first because he betrayed all who ever helped him to power - Odili, Amaechi, Jonathan, Mama Peace, etc.

It seems all the roads in Nigeria are under construction by PBAT. Every single one of them. Are there any completed ones?

Reminds me of what we used to say when I was growing up. If a rabbit is eluding its chaser, the chaser will say useless rabbit. Slot is basically saying useless title because it's eluded him.

Exactly on January 25th this year, I don't know what exactly pushed me to start scouring the internet for this man's songs. I'm so thankful I got 68 of them. May God grant his soul eternal rest in paradise.

All of you are unwell, for a start. The internet and social media has eaten up your brains.

dequir:
Go and change your eye glasses. No be all of us dey blind.

How is it possible that of all the people to comment on this deceptive clip, not a single one could tell that this isn't Adams Oshiomhole? Abi dem take this fake social media world swear for Nigerians?

I said it the other day. Those fake and phoney road projects they've been parading on this platform these days are just smokescreens. The violence thats described here is their true modus operandi. When you add the inevitable glitch that INEC will concoct, it tells you the so called 2027 election is already stolen.

Interesting. Isn't it strange that you all clowning around that so-called Wizkid think because majority of you are jobless everyone else is jobless too?

bolaayenimo:
So instead of Seun to sing quality music, he should sit online and arguing with kids and jobless people like you.

This public affairs analyst is all over the map. Speaking from many sides of the same mouth isn’t a good quality to have. It's a sign either of compromise, conceit, or hackery. If I'm Seun Kuti, I also wouldn't shy away from defending my father's legacy against upstarts with no sense of history, honor or decency.

Election season is here at last. Fake and phoney projects are suddenly springing up everywhere. Do they even need all this paperwork when the glitch has already been perfected for stolen elections?

Every generation will find their level and their music. For example, you're unlikely ever going to find Wizkid's, Burna Boy's or Davido's songs in my music library. Instead you're more likely to find Sweet Breeze, Kris Okotie before he became a pastor, Fela and even Daniel Wilson songs. That's how the world works. Every generation thinks their's is the best. Only very few, the likes of Fela, are timeless across generations.

IT4U:
Fela is a legend and no one comes close but I disagree that no one remembers Tuface's songs of 10 years ago. That's not true! Tuface's songs are evergreen and people remember and listen to them on daily basis.
