Gandollar:
Not all crazy heads are public figures, that's the connection.

I know i should just leave this but

So is she a public figure, or isnt she? It seems that youre contradicting yourself, except if im not getting you

2019 and still talking about light. Ordinary light that was discovered like 300 years ago! Shame!

Gandollar:
Birds of a feather flock together. You don't know Churchill because he's not a public figure. If not for Tonto, you may still not know him today.

Yeah thats my point. If birds of a feather flock together, and she is a public figure while he is not, then what was the connection?

Saintp:
This guy only used Tonto to come into the limelight. Before Tonto, did you ever hear about this guy? Make no mistake, the guy never had a plan for a serious marriage, he just wanted to use her to become famous and when he achieved that,he left.

Well, thats one way of looking at it.

On the bright side, at least she managed to use him too and get that boy out of him before he threw her away

Ikpongiton:
when it is about sharing goodies,you will claim that calabar is cross rivers,but when you wants to go to war ,you'll say cross rivers is part of biafra .God punish una there

Are you literate at all? Igboland and Biafra are two different things! The punishment you are calling for will surely land on you and you only! mtchew

Typing rubbish because we dont wish to claim a broken up family with a philandering father and his child who wanted to slice him into Suya meat

stanliwise:
see as you dey talk am like say na family discussion you dey do.

Lol, that shows that im going to be a good grandma

At least the one i said is better than the usual "where you pick am?"

Boyooosa:
Tuface wey chicken out that year sef better pass this one...
He is one of the reasons someone like me don't believe in revolution through protest in Nigeria..

Lol, that was astounding. i mean it was just amazing

they must have threatened to wipe him, his babymamas and his 1,000,000 children from the face of the earth because he just did a complete about-turn

I dont really mind Tonto Dike despite her faults, but i wonder what this man saw in her

he seems quiet and reserved. and she's...well, she's just herself

where did he even meet her in the first place

Well he knows best but i feel he just entangled himself for nothing, because even from here we can all see that she's a wild one

Though we dont regret the arrival of their sweet little boy!

hsafarms:
IGBO LAND AND BAD NEWS ARE INSEPARABLE...

Are you ok? What part of Calabar is igboland

nwadiuko1:
they are not trained to teach...... don't you get it? you are used to puting round pegs in square holes i guess

I agree with you but i feel bad for the children in those rural schools

Some of them have never had a mathematics or science teacher until the corper (engineers!) came ...

Its a conundrum..

sirusX:
I'd have to agree with you on that....cz school should be just all about lasses and exams

That should be the formal training to fit into organizations upon graduation.....without any extra month of training

Yeah thats the problem..too much theory and not enough practical!

Beautyaddy:
And this is something of pride to admit about.

Treating another human being you cannot create like an animal? It's only a shithole country called Nigeria is this barbaric behaviors acceptable.

Im 70% sure he was being sarcastic. Almost everybody on the thread was

Ugosample:
keyword: A culture of self interest and greed.


Africa and Africans are still at the primordial /animal stage in development

because that's how animals behave

Humans of the 21st century put interest of community and country FIRST

Third World $hithole failed states like NIGERIA put self and family interest first, and don't mind wrecking the society to achieve that.

Its for this reason ALONE that I don't see Africa as a group moving forward Any time soon.

Lol youre too cynical but youre right sha

Even if you try to be altruistic and do the right thing, your family will even be the first ones to curse you and call you "Saint Peter", "goodie" and other such names that are usually a compliment

Na to just get your own spoonful of the national peppersoup!

Which way, Nigeria!

salt1:
Thanks for this explanation. I was wondering why they look like poles

Lol you're welcome. I guess they would like to eat more but everything they eat, wear and drive belongs to the state.

Even them sef na state property

Dagger111:
Bro..... Call me on this number +2347061094324. This is the type of case we like to handle. Trust me. Your money will be out within the twinkling of an eye.

Lol

Barryseal:
It's like you don't get the gist. The Stephanie lady is their next door neighbor. I don't think she's better than them if they are all neighbors in a face me, I face you.

Just like you said, something good came out of it for little Success and also for Stephanie because I understand a kind hearted individual just donated 500k to her.

I despise greedy people. Hopefully, little Success don't take after her parents. We have enough greedy people in Nigeria already.

#barryseal

Ok, youre right, i didnt know. I assumed she was somewhere hustling but still doing ok, judging by all these impressive photos we're seeing of her and comparing her to how Success was looking, plus that dilapidated "school"

Lol it seems you have suffered in the hands of so-called "greedy people", sorry

All's well that ends well sha!

PotatoSalad:
Smh. I liked this dude till he became a baby daddy. Go and marry na. It's that easy.
But wait o. Why Phyno never get baby mama lol?
Sharp dude

She managed to capture him lol. Though its not nice for his rep

Phyno seems somehow reserved or shy. You hardly hear of anything happening with him compared to his partner in crime, Flavour

Im waiting to see which direction the fine mama's nose is going to take, the mother or father

I have relatives who did this. Though no pictures or pillows were involved sha

Some people just gats to go

No need to jump to conclusions. You cant know the story behind it unless they tell you. Its usually to do with studying, at times the couple's timetables are not compatible and they dont want to keep postponing it

This is better than those ones that deceive themselves by "carrying wine" abroad (or even back in town) when they know full well that its not acceptable (for Igbos)

"Let's get down to the root"

Lol so the people who stayed to finish the course, are they _stupid

i wont say you deserve it but just forget the money for now. except you jam him somewhere

Barryseal:
I agree she could have settled in house with the girl's parents. However, I want to believe she has made some advances to the Success's family and was rebuffed that's why she gave out this interview.

Talking about concent, I don't think Success's family has the locus to cite a lack of concent as the reason she won't get something from the windfall,since they have directly benefited from the episode and don't have the intention to forfeit the monetary gains so as to protect their family..

Don't forget, Success could only be traced by her benefactors through Stephanie. She deserves a cut from the largesse if moral justice means anything to Success's family.
What I can pick from this story sheer greed and nothing else. Trust me, ghetto dwellers and poor people I have had a run in with, are usually the greediest people you can deal with.

#barryseal

Yes, it is possible that the family shooed her away when she asked them to "find her something". Quite probable, actually.

They dont have the right to talk of consent, i mentioned it because you said something about other countries and being able to go to court. But in other countries I dont think she would have had the guts to post a video of a minor (who is not even her own child!) being rusticated from school as if its a laughing matter

Yes, you are right. she should be given a cut, not minding what she may or may not have "meant" by her action. The action still led to a positive consequence that they are benefiting from. My problem is just the way she is going about it. She needs to be smart because people turn to animals where money is concerned

She is several scores more fortunate than these people, as greedy as they may be. And when its like that, our society has a way of castigating the more "fortunate" person. Even when a wealthy elder relative sends a "suffering" brother to do something, and he embezzles the money, they prefer to keep their mouth shut rather than complain, lest the rest of the family accuses him of oppressing the "small boy"

At the bolded, yes i have had some experience with that too. its quite surprising, actually

To be honest, the whole thing has this sordid and classless undertone to it even though something good came out of it

Barryseal:
On moral grounds, she deserves some form of compensation from the girl's parents. Whatever the intention was for shooting the interview and promoting it online is immaterial.
It tells alot on the character and greed of Success's parents if they refuse to grease her palms and to be honest, this kind of news is not good for the "Success" brand as some willing donors might see the girls parents as ungrateful bunch.

In some countries, this lady would have gone to court already.

#barryseal

Yeah youre right but the lady is making herself look like a witch. Even if you deserve something there are some smart ways to go about it

Not to start publicly lamenting about a 7 year old girl who couldnt pay her fees

Those "countries" do not have the same attitude and orientation to children as Nigeria. Besides, Im quite sure that in the first place, she did not get the consent of the little girl's parents before posting that video, showing publicly that they couldnt afford her fees and embarrassing the family for her own "blogging" glory.

Those countries also have robust data and child protection legislation. There are a lot of social aspects to this situation.

She's just showing her bad character everywhere and if anybody is close to her they should advise her to stop

Sometimes when you patronise somebody's shop or bus, and you ask them how much, they will tell you

"Whatever you have, you can give me". And it makes you want to empty your pockets for the person, even if the service was just ordinary

Some other times the person will start making all sorts of demands, and you will begin to quarrel with them and push the price down even more

The lady's behaviour is messing up the blessing of helping the little girl. Its not good to be bitter

And it shows that from the beginning, her intention was not good

Its enough free publicity for her online business that shes the one who "discovered" baby Success. She could have used that to her advantage to get some deals and still be in the good graces of the girl and her family. At a point, her parents would have included her in the "show"

Instead, she is showing herself all over the news, for all the wrong reasons, throwing tantrums everywhere, just like that little Success herself

Well, Im happy she showed her selfishness and her true colours at this stage, so that Success and her family will know that they need to stay away from her

Shame

openmine:
Just the highlighted is enough!
The rest are for those with plenty excuses!

Lol. Youre right

By the way, hope youre as fit and healthy as she is?

if you can afford a decent gym/trainer, yes

if you have the willpower to do fitness at home on tv or youtube, yes

if you live in a nice enough area to go running in the morning/early evening, yes

otherwise surgery is the way

Well

You can help yourself by

1. Having a good safety and maintenance culture around the home
2. Keeping your good news and progress out of public view

We know there are bad spirits everywhere, but no need to tempt them. Village people or whatever have their own potency, living in or near a deathtrap also has its own

Physical and spiritual forces interact and conspire, either for evil or good

RIP to the lady.

If it were just based on looks i would have preferred this man as the governor

The mbaise fellow is looking ill

On second thoughts is it not awkward, becoming a governor by marriage? im sure some men would be too proud to do this (not knocking him though)

imagine being talked down to by rochas okorocha, no less! Phew!!

She could have told us she doesnt want to marry without insulting married women, after all its her choice

If they insult her singlehood she will start vibrating

Every mallam with his kettle

jrusky:
Fell iron soakaway? Sorry her death need to be investigated I'm not buying that crap. How can a full grown up woman like this fell to soakaway and just die like that? pls I'm not buying it. Police should do their job.

What a nonsense talk?

RIP woman but investigation must be done.

She probably didnt die from the fall itself, rather its possible that she suffered a head or neck injury. Either bleeding from her head (fatal if left unattended for too long) or breaking her neck (the person can die immediately)

This is very scary news though

jaybee:
If this is true, then NYSC has lost its soul; it's essence. Essentially, this will Transform NYSC from National Service to an unstructured glorified internship program. PMB should have known that national service and professional internship are poles apart.

All that community and charity stuff is what what CDS is for.

If they allow you to help where you are relevant instead of flinging you into a primary school in the middle of nowhere you will help to drive our failing economy
