Illiteracy is a menace in this country. When did Edo become an ethnic group. To the best of my knowledge Edo is a state in Nigeria and Edo state is a multiethnic state.

I swear

what the hell is the whole purpose of this thread?

are people really arguing about this ?

there's no way to prove who's right and wrong so whats the point and why'd are y'all fighting so hard for your tribe like this is an achievement?

Mafizo:
This shows paedophilia is a psychological disorder or rather demonic spirit..Imagine the number of ladies that will be flocking around drake on daily basis but he's chose to make out with an under-age girl..

God , u don't know what pedophilia is

a 17 year old is too old to be considered a victim of pedophilia

, pedophilia can only happen to prepubescent children that is , children that haven't reached puberty

The blame for job losses and unemployment rate is multifaceted:

Lack of infrastructure to support industrial production, distribution to point of consumption. Blame past corrupt military and corrupt PDP governments.

Lip service to diversification. Blame past military and PDP Governments

Lack of favourable monetary/fiscal policy-driven incentives to industries. Blame past military and PDP governments

Nigerian banks prefer financing commerce to financing industry. Blame selfish bank operators

Poor tactical and strategic management of industries leading to collapse. Blame captains of industries and shareholders.

Government refusing to make hard decisions about protecting local industries. Blame past military and PDP governments

Lack of effective advisory and support system for fledgling SMEs. SMEDAN's performance has been poor. Blame past PDP governments.

so buhari is not responsible for anything in his administration abi?

SpecialAdviser:
As funny as this may seem, it is a sad truth about Nigerian politics.

Most female politicians would have to warm some men beds before they make it in politics.
Things are really bad in this country.

I dont know why Nigerian men must always demand s*x in exchange from favour from females.

With this we can never get better in this country. Everything is upside down.

then they should stop asking for favours from men

yinkuscious:
DON'T BE ASHAMED OF YOUR LEGITIMATE HUSTLE - There is dignity in labour

One of the reasons why our society keep on experiencing the heart breaking stories of internet fraud, rituals and all sorts of unbelievable quest for getting rich scheme is our societal response and reactions to young people who desired to start small.

Few days ago, my sister reminded me of the saying "there is dignity in labor". That is, whatever you're doing, that is bringing food to your table, that is giving you joy and is not at the detriment of others, you should be proud of it.

But, reverse is the case these days. The process no longer matter, only the result, regardless of how you get the result.

Attentions are been given to those who are showing off and not those who are showing up to promote their trades.

Social media got it all blasted - In recent time, I noticed that if you post a picture of you in an exotic restaurant (even though you didn't buy anything) your social media connections will bless you with lots of reactions and comments, but if you post things about your business or services, you'll be given little attention, less reaction, no comment.

What is this data saying about our society? People don't care or give little attention to things that add value to your life, they don't want to support or show interest in your process.

Then people (victim of the societal judgment) decided to go into the get rich quick at all means, or die trying schemes.

And we all can see what this has caused us as a society.

Dear your people, be proud of your trade. Even if family and friends don't support you. Even if they pay no attention to you, God is a rewarded of hard work.
There are people who are taking note of your consistency, your ability and your sagacity.

It won't only give you peace of mind, it will allow you a beautiful legacy and a good place in history.

Don't fall for it, embrace your small beginning - those who look down on you didn't create you, they won't pay your bills for you.

To your shameless execution.

ur epistle is nice and sweet and all but let's be realistic okay, people are hungry and suffering ,and it's not everyone that has access to knowledge and information , as big as nairaland is there are only 2million users and far less active users , what about the remaining 190+million population , most of the things u know about business and life millions don't even know or have access to that kind of information and with our bad educational system what do u want them to do ? drink garri for the rest of their lives ?, it's easy to say things like this when u have food to eat and know where your next meal is coming from ,90milliom Nigerians are living below the poverty line ! what do u really expect ?


now I'm not trying to justify criminal activities , but u gotta understand ,all these might not be a good reason to commit crime but it's a reason non the less and we could gather here and preach all day but the reality won't change because the reasons all these are happening are still there

Reinah:
Lol.. That's it, we are always on " energy saving mode"

Mine is more like a vampire's.. The sun drains my energy, so I come back home tired every time

Funny how some people think we are lazy too

lol yeah

A Lagos-based DJ, Seun Omogaji, has allegedly taken his own life, moments after leaving a note on Instagram.

According to an inside source, Seun drank “Sniper,” an insecticide. In the post made 4 hours ago on his page, the deceased said:



Gist From Gistvic.com>> https://www.gistvic.com/2019/01/nigerian-dj-commits-suicide-after.html

thank God, there are way too many people in this goddamn Country , if only a 100 million more would follow in his footsteps , this country would get better , a lot better

Sellfish:
Ok Sir...
Please go and get better...thanks

Reinah:
Being an introvert doesn't mean you are shy though.. We just prefer to stay calm more than anything and avoid whatever will sap our precious energy

shey !!!!

people tell me I'm shy but I laugh and tell them I'm simply an "energy saving man"

Sellfish:
Please buy my Hp envy M6 with 2gig dedicated graphics for 80k..i need money urgently please....please check my profile for details

u don't need money urgently if u really did u won't have made that kind of laptop 80k and non negotiable , go to Jiji. ng and see the level of laptops u can get for 80k and you'll realise ur price is a joke
infact with 60k or less I could get better

Asshurbanipali:
Anambra is fast taking over from Lagos as the entertainment hub of Nigeria

lol I'm an Igbo guy like u but don't whine me oh

it's really good to know that's it's not only in Lagos u can get things like this

slawomir:
Isoright

I wonder what guys enjoy when you banging a woman crying because she didn't give consent to the sex

Some times when my girlfriend is angry my dick Will be acting funny. It will refuse to get erect.

So am just wondering how guys get erect during rape when the woman is in tears

it's not the tears , it's the screams that turns them on , it's boots their ego , like she's screaming because of their big dīck

jafol:
Little kid go n read Nigeria history, oh i forgot unfortunately u cant read lol

read what history boy? every idiot knows the SS oil feeds this country that's why when the price of their oil went down we entered recession (but u my friend is beyond an idiot), and that's why there's a fight for Biafra/restructuring, the SS feeds this country yet they are highly marginalised when it comes to infrastructure so is the SE even the FG admits that , as good and better the Igbos are to the yolobas there is only so much we can do and there are some things that only the FG can do , that's why there's so much fight , fight for Igbo presidency , fight for Biafra, fight for restructuring .

olas24u:
so they are baifra?

wtf?

Ritchiee:
U sound very not smart
Yorubas have been proven to severally be one of the most intelligent people on earth.
They built empires when some people were walking naked.
They have produced 3 Nobel Laureates,5 youngest phd holders in the world,7 world best perfect score of 5.0 cgp geniuses and presently they are the best in technology,innovation and business in Nigeria and some of the best in the world.
They have the most developed economy via a vis ICT,Manufacturing,Education etc.

okay nice , it's good u said "one of" because there are other tribes that are also "one of "


but this still doesn't give u the right to talk not very smart tho

jafol:
U feed yorubas hahaha, i bet u feed hausas too. You roaches need to be crushed and ur lands taken from u, u cant even make use of ur own oil to develop ur land, u talking about feeding YORUBAS. Nobody is stopping u fools from using oil money to create businesses in ur own land, i thought u south south n south east r developers?

argue with the SS all u want but know ur limits boy ,don't include people greater than great itself in ur silly talk

Basic123:
This why I laugh when some people try to mention PH after Lagos and Abuja where we have Ibadan and Kano.

I have always maintained that PH is overrated because of its English name!

Kano?
because of sabongari?

Ritchiee:
Which of the South South states?I hope you are not a South Easterner because Ogun state beats all the states there hands akimbo.

ok I get it ur a Yoruba man , proud of ur people okay no problem

but try and dial down the nonsense u say ok , u sound very not smart

ChidiAlaigbo:
Says an Igboman, why?

Because Igbo land is desperately poor and barren. Every other Nigerian is proud and emphasise their ethnic homeland. I am from Yorubaland. Stop quoting the fake military constitution.

desperately poor and barren ? I laugh !
says a Yoruba man , whose first reaction to everything is tribalism

I only stated facts ,
Yorubas hate when Igbos mention having a sovereign state (Biafra) , hate ipob , first people to talk about one Nigeria when the concept of Nigeria splitting comes up (I wonder why if u guys are just so awesome ) but then hate when u see us in the SW and shout Yorubaland somehow implying we owe u the air we breathe for staying in our country !

the only way for us to move on peacefully is if we stop all these hindrance , or u could keep shouting Yorubaland and Igbos could keeping shouting Biafra till we tear the country apart

deomelllo:
You are the tribalist because you see tribalism in everything you read because you are predisposed to tribalism.


Guilty conscience is killing you..

rubbish analogy right there


can u honestly tell me that that sentence the OP said has no tribalistic element in it whatsoever?

why are u creating forced arguments?

Donmedra:
of course there are tons of ethnic group in south west apart from Yoruba

that's not my point even if Yoruba was the only tribe in the SW, Yorubaland doesn't exist

deomelllo:
The poster no name any of your villages so why the animosity and guilty conscience now?

don't try and be coy with me
WE know what he meant and it was foolish and very unnecessary to add that to this supposedly harmless thread

blingxx:
Why must everything be a competition to you ... Yorubas are dirty, skull miners, lazy... Yet your brothers are dying to live in Yorubaland... Have you ever thought about this?

There is no such thing as Yorubaland , Igboland and Hausa/fulani land , the constitution does not recognise it and it doesn't (or shouldnt) have any real life implications all these lands only exist in the mind of backward people

kolaxed98:
Ogun state



3:seaport,fortunately ogun is not landlocked like some people state and will stop d dependence on Lagos for export of manufactured goods.

What's this supposed to mean?
U just made this whole thing sound foolish and tribalistic
This shows you're a small man

Holybwoy:
I don taya. Two months into this job and I am already looking for a greener pasture. I was happy when the offer I received from the firm tripled my previous salary but it's a different story entirely since I started receiving bank alerts.

First, they pay salary 5th of the next month which we complained about but the HR (a Chinese) said that's how it is even in their headquarters in China. The first salary I received, dude claimed it was because I resumed Nov 12 and not the first day of the month. I chilled and let it pass.

I wasn't even expecting my salary again at all this year and around 4am when I woke up to pee, I checked my phone only to see an alert from my bank. It was from my workplace. About 40% deductions was made again. I am just waiting for day to break so I can grill the HR but then I am sure he'd look for ways to justify the deductions.

I didn't miss any work day this month. I don't want to give more indepth info cos many of my colleagues at work are Nairalanders and they might snitch on me.

What do you lovely people suggest I do? How will a chinko be subjecting me to 21st century slavery? I know end-of-the-year bonuses. I have never heard of deductions in my life.

firstly go and hear the excuse it might make sense

then ask him to his face what u can do to ensure u get ur salary in full that way ull do it and he won't have any conventional excuse


then also find out how well ur company is doing , it might be because of low sales that they are behaving like this ,it happens

and also try and see if it's at all possible (I'm skeptic about this tho) to see if u can get legal help like ask questions from a lawyer or something

nairalee:
When I see posts like this I begin dey look myself for mirror, e just be like say some people come this life and I enjoy while others just escort come to act as spectators.

But in the same vein when I see the cemetery I just smile and look up and remember the greatest gift in life is life in itself. Every other blessing is just an accessory or jara

ok , whatever makes u feel better but me I KNOW I'm going to be richer than this fvcker in a few years

Halogenonimisi:
Budget of 30 states in my dear Nigeria. used to buy one jet......??!!

don't be silly

OmoEpe:
Good questions:
1) Along the rail track new industries will be established due to increased commercial activities
2) Direct employment and indirect employment associated with increased commercial activities along the corridor will be massive
3)Cost of land and fixed assets will increase
4)As a result of the rail now farmers in the area,who has been wasting 85% of their harvests,will now have the opportunity of moving their perishable harvest on time and further thereby increasing their earning power with resultant multiplier effect
5) Increased GOT between the 2 states will ensure more money to the state Govt hence better life for the citizens
6) Food processing companies will increase in that corridor die to ease of connectivity to the massive Nigeria's population


I can go on and on because nothing generates more employment than the provision of infrastructure especially transport infrastructure.

My brother hate or live Buhari we haven't had a futuristic and pragmatic president like him in Nigeria before now. The tragedy of our existence

I see

AutoReportNG:
This is the Uromi Train Station heading towards Agbor. All is now set for the official kick-off of the Itakpe Warri Rail. The train did a test run today to see the effectiveness and also to see how well the contractors have faired.

It may be recalled that the 327km Standard-Gauge Itakpe Warri Rail links Itakpe in Kogi State To Ajaokuta and then to Warri, Delta State (Itakpe to Ajaokuta, 50KM; Ajaokuta to Warri, 277KM).

The Itakpe Warri Rail Line was started by President Babangida circa 1987, it was planned as a freight-only Rail, serving the Iron Ore / Steel belt between Aladja and Ajaokuta. It is now being reconfigured as a PASSENGER + Freight Rail, to maximize usefulness.

These are photos from the site at Uromi Train Station.
