Kuginzi:Let it be noted that not a single one of the Islamic extremists justifying Deborah's slaying has bothered to explain what was the blasphemy in the voice note she left on that student WhatsApp group (as translated by those who speak the Hausa language). They simply say blasphemy, which suggests it's a fluid rabbit hole that manufactures justification for religious murder on the fly. My theory is that something much more sinister - like identity politics - is at play. This killing, like so many previous killings of this nature, was more to make a political rather than a religious point. Moslems in northern Nigeria have for decades wielded blasphemy as an identity political cudgel much the same way that white supremacists wield gun rights in the United States. To play this kind of politics often requires relying on the most absurd justifications or rationalizations. |
robosky02:Always a tall order to get a foreign coach that fits into the chaos that is Nigeria. The ones to succeed - Westerhof & Rohr to a limited extent - embraced the chaos. Those who simply didn't have the liver - like the Brazilian Carlos Alberto Torres - fled at the first sign of our dysfunction. I hope this isn't the case with Peseiro if and when he's announced. |
Afrogist247:Someone don dey scam this one. It's 2022, and this is where Nigeria is rooted. We despise science and a firmly married to superstition. |
royalfly:I know your type too. Sometimes I take the risk to actually seek them out and meet them. Warriors hiding behind a finger online, but once they see you in person and you open your mouth, they're all sir, sir, sir. You can't even communicate intelligibly. What else have you got other than violence & insults? |
royalfly:Why would I hide when I have some insights that could benefit ignoramuses and the miseducated? |
StilmaVsBorn2w:It seems some demons are battling with you. Try exorcizing those ones first. Obviously you have your mind made up on what to do but out here whining all of us. It's also pretty clear why your mother's own advice failed. |
royalfly:The real mumu is you if somehow you don't know that every marriage is unique, that every marriage has challenges, including mine. It's how you deal with the challenges that defines success and failure. What if I told you my marriage has been a bed of roses? That will be a fat lie. Not every man is fit enough to be a husband. Not every woman is fit enough to be a wife. Marriage is hard work, men. If you can't stand the heat - or if you think a solution is to be beating on the woman - get out the kitchen before you kill her or she kills you. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. |
yongg:You lot make it look like marriage is compulsory or that you're forced into it. This is a completely voluntary experience. It requires a lot of maturity, tolerance and patience. You know, those things you do because you're really into someone even when that person may be undeserving from your own standpoint. If you lack any of these, why do you even want to try? |
royalfly:Wrong. I've been married for 22 years & still going strong. Marriage is not for immature boys who think they become men by beating up on women. |
Parachoko:They hate him may be because he uses thugs to steal their votes each and every election. Does he have a blood oath with agberos and area boys? |
This is when you realize that many Nigerians who ordinarily form intelligence are actually stupid. It must be said too that greed is a bastard! |
olayinka00:Which one be Real Housewives of Lagos again? Why can't our people be fricking original for once rather than all this copy, copy? |
janejjjjj5000:Your papa teĺls you that in 40 years living in the same house as husband and wife, they've not argued. Ever. And you believed him? Little wonder bad ideas are playing in your head. Your papa lied! And believing this lie is obviously what's leading you to avoidable disaster. |
TheWolfen:I'm just seeing this drivel. If this is senseless and stupid to you, it's proof positive that maybe marriage isn't for you - you'll end up killing someone's daughter or getting killed yourself. It's that simple! You're probably one of these boys who like to think that by beating women up it means they've become men! |
MadamVanessa:Any man who cannot hold it together, cannot maintain sanity in the face of even the vilest provocation; if he thinks anger from a woman's verbal abuse is sufficient justification for physical violence - he should enjoy his life by himself, unmarried. Not everyone is mature enough for marriage. And marriage is not by force. |
LordviccoDaGuru:What else does he know to do? Lazy bones! |
SATANICALLY: |
Cyynthia:When are Nigerians ever going to understand that stupidity is a curse and that naivity is the twin brother? |
Siberia01:Nobody. Apparently, because it's not Toto Dike, Bobrisky or some story about a naked butt. You'll sit down, cross legs and read every word like you're writing an exam on it! |
Okoro_foreign_agent is not looking his usual self. He's lost weight and his eyes have sunk in. I may be wrong and it turns out he's on exercise or diet. That's life, though. |
This has become a sad trend. Whenever the Lagos state government wants to force traders out of any location, they set the place on (mysterious) fire! |
Omicronvaccine:Why is this happening? Because everyone in that space called Nigeria is raving mad. |
November1857:Let us not forget that when the then Goodluck Jonathan government wanted to engage Boko Haram in a dialogue to find out what their grouse against Nigeria was, they'd appointed Buhari as their leader and chief negotiator. If these people have forgotten, I haven't! Buhari cannot fight Boko Haram. When you know this, you know peace! |
BloomingDale:Must be some god then. This one that uses only tools and dictatorships to achieve his purpose. You lot also said that same god was using Trump the same way - to achieve his purpose. |
tayepop:Social media is a cancer destroying marriages. The young and unmarried read these stories every day. They're scared to death. I'm not talking about those guys sending their dick pics to women they know to be married. Those ones are staff of NFA - no future ambition. |
Optimistguy1969:Turns out beer may be the safest alcoholic beverage in the Nigerian market. All else are adulterated. Those are the ones killing Nigerians in their numbers. Our country is suffering under the weight of fake products, not just alcohol. The government doesn't care! |
Reflect7:I don't know what side of the bed you woke up today. But I guarantee you that there's a certain naivity or stupidity, if you like, with black people and African blacks especially. That stupidity makes it hard/impossible for them to think deeply and introspectively - like understand something as crass as their being a competition among the races. Every race will be responsible for their own salvation even though they may fight sometimes. The blacks will also be responsible for their own salvation. Watch what happens once they stop fighting in Ukraine. They'll quickly rebuild the place as if nothing happened. Nigeria? We can't even defeat mosquitoes that have been killing us way more than wars since the beginning of time. Whoever said Africans are wicked and resentful is correct � |
PrinceOfLagos:It just tells there isn't a lot in the office of president unless you're using it like Buhari for resentment, vengeance and retribution. It is an empty office - check out all the states that have produced President since 1999. See how the Igbos, when they should have preserved their economies while Buhari's transient injustice fades away, instead they listened to a self-absorbed rabblerouser and have crippled themselves economically as a result. The key to developing not just Igboland but the entire Nigeria is the state governments. Period! |
Once black men become famous, they get a trophy white wife who majority of the time wants only the money & fame. One of them so damaged Emmanuel Eboue, the guy turned destitute! |
It's really troubling the amount of lies people spread these days just to draw attention to themselves. |
POS business is not an 'oddity' or a sign of poverty. It is a common sight in many African countries.Except POS actually stands for Point of Sale - the person holding the POS machine is actually selling something. I agree re cash back. But it's always for a small change - not like going to a bank to withdraw money. And you don't pay a commission for the cash back separately. It's deemed part of the sales transaction. Bottomline is what the POS merchants are using it for in Nigeria (or as you say, all over Africa), that's not the purpose. You actually have to pay a cut throat commission to access & spend your own money. What are the banks for? |
