its actually a court case between the injured and the owner of the (private) building- the burden of safety lies with him. it should be somewhere in the contract the tenants signed

i dont get it- is it the government who should pay a fine for not demolishing on time (which is an offence)

in which case the government has to get the exact department, worker and their superior who were assigned to monitor that building

or was the owner supposed to demolish it?

Lol he stole the mace?

Actually its a traditional sign of rebellion to grab the mace, to show that you are unhappy with how issues are being handled and you feel you need to take a drastic action because you arent being listened to

An MP in the UK picked the mace up, i think in protest of what is happening with Brexit

If he was acting along those lines, then i see his point
Travel › Re: Boeing 777X: Boeing Unveils World's Longest Passenger Plane(Pics) by midnighter(f): 12:27pm On Mar 17, 2019
It looks quite distasteful at first that they would unveil this plane right after a major catastrophe, for which they are partly to blame. They didnt tell people that the software they installed needs specific training. And the software even had glitches sef

But on balance, its still a business that has to keep its wheels turning. If they delay this release it will reduce their market value even more. and if people start losing jobs, even more people will die

But its just so bad for those people in the crash. Those Ethiopians screaming with grief on the news

A year after it's in the market one will crash, that's the sacrifice they'll make to appease the aliens behind invention.

Like it or not, there's no technology made that won't claim human life, even as harmless as your smartphone. Blood sacrifice must be made to appease the demon.

She was angry and frustrated. But she is still a rude girl who needs to be corrected. There’s another video of hers where someone came out to help her. She was with a woman I believe is her mother. When she was asked to say something. I was expecting to hear her thank those that had helped her. But she went on to say she has already told the school she’s not going back to that kpako school in that very rude way of hers. A lady, I assume is her mother, was busy laughing. How on earth is that funny? Is the school a charity organization? She’s complaining that they sent her home instead of beating her because she can take the beating. I applaud her zeal to learn, but she is uncouth. It has nothing to do with pidgin.
Im glad you combined that "rude girl" with "needs to be corrected". Her mother (or whoever) and the person filming didnt do well. We all know that children just say nonsense most of the time. Its hit and miss. When they say or do something and see it gets them a reward (attention or laughs), they keep doing it. She is a product of a particular environment and those adults are the ones encouraging the "uncouth" behaviour

When we were little and someone did something for us, our guardians would ask as "what do you say?" and we knew the answer cheesy lol

They should have made a "Success says a big "Thank you" to everybody who helped her" video, and guided her on what to say (just giving us small hints of that fiery nature that made us love her), with her parents chipping in every now and then. Then, when she goes to secondary school or writes jamb or has some other landmark, be giving us updates. Bang, bang, finish. Not to be posting every little thing a baby says. Thats ridiculous

If they showed us the stuff we said when we were kids, we would burn the footage. Parents and family, people who care, prefer to display the best side of their loved ones

ma'am I won't disagree with you but if we look deep we have same effect down south. the effect of religion on Nigerians is just out of it, our religious leaders preach contentment to us the Christ and mohammed followers go to pray and bless the thieves and milkers of our commonwealth. like you said the acceptability of the contentment theory by the northerners is really out of the natural, a fall out of lark of formal education. the public servants are really a harm to us.
from my observation (though I've never been out of the country), the western world folks don't really go for wealth but their daily and basic needs as a result of the ruling class making available their essential needs but here we have been made to awaken to acquire and enrich ourselves all in the bid to beat poverty.
We have some of it down south, but not to the same extent. In fact, we actually have a problem with pastors prioritising teachings about wealth -prosperity gospel- so sometimes we even do the direct opposite

i would say people in the western world are freer to pursue ambition because they generally arent held back by the stuff that messes us up here like school fees, no light, no water and all those things. Youre right that the fight against poverty makes us sit up. But it shouldnt turn one into an animal. Our politicians who have won this fight, do you see how irrationally they are behaving?

Because they cant bear to go back down a notch. And when you look into their pasts, they were even the most idealistic and optimistic ones

I felt she was really smart for her age after watching the initial video.

Then I watched another video where she said she has told them she will soon leave their kpako school. That didn't go down well with me. I am happy for her, she has gotten the needed publicity. Maybe another Emmanuella in the making.
Yeah. A trait like this -stubbornness or hard-headedness- has its good and bad sides. Since shes a child, she needs some guidance on how best to utilise it. Ground-breaking people, especially women, sometimes need to be "impolite" to make a way

Actually that video you watched is the fault of the poster, who i presume is an adult. They should have guessed that it wouldnt have shown the baby in the best light. But the poster is also making their own money by generating traffic, so maybe they didnt consider that

I wish her the best anyway. At least her fiery nature has gotten her an education. The other "trained" children who couldnt pay, that went home quietly as they were "supposed" to are still looking for their fees, arent they?
Education › Re: 'No Be Say I No Go Pay! They Go Flog Tire' T-shirt For Warri Schoolgirl, Success by midnighter(f): 9:01am On Mar 17, 2019
So people are taking her musings as rudeness. I never knew

Maybe because shes using pidgin and its sounding harsh. And because she is angry and frustrated rather than sad. Thereby making her look stubborn

But then, would it have elicited the same national buzz if she had been meek and mild, as most little girls are (or how we feel they should be)?

If you kick against a bad system using unorthodox means, is it still an indiscretion? Or just a means to an end

Im sure shes having some kind of emotional issue because this wasnt necessary at all. She has appeared in films before, shes a graduate and her family is not lacking money. its just an erratic behaviour that has no logical rationale to support it

the ex boyfriend and manager she was wailing about in the video, what did they do to her that was so grievous huh

the general public she is addressing on instagram is not the problem. the problem is going home for easter and facing your parents and extended family. thats what really tests whether you regret an action or not cause the disappointment in their faces is too much to bear

She needs punishment and strong counselling but they didnt need to burn her to death

The pains of childlessness drove her to do what she never though she would, could or should

Its not easy to be childless, much less in Nigeria because of the mockery

Buhari is not poor by any stretch of the imagination but he probably has an austere and conservative lifestyle in accordance with his culture, military training and age/generation

He probably doesnt lavish money on himself, hes not into flashy or elaborate wears and we can see that he doesnt eat much. I think thats what all this "Buhari is poor" stuff theyre feeding us is supposed to mean

Its a shame that we cant appreciate him because he has led quite an extraordinary life. all the way from a small town in the north, rising through the military ranks, contesting so many times until he won, being ill for long and still coming back. Its not easy for a 70+ year old man

We would be taking lessons and being inspired by him if he were not using our lives to play football cheesy

I love the northerners for one thing, which simplicity. life is nothing to them but just the basics, their immediate needs. compare to we the southerners.
it has a spiritual benefit because its good to be content and have a peace of mind. but it leads them to be easily exploited because they feel that material things and physical comfort dont matter at all

they matter, actually. maybe we in the south overestimate their importance but at least it helps us to strive for more

their own, they feel a poor status or condition is their lot from God and they dont need to do anything about it. and the fact that they have produced the highest number of presidents, the constitution (i think?) is biased in their favour, their traditional rulers are balling and the place is still so messed up shows that the mindset has some drawbacks

Northerners are contented with poverty.
Called a northerner to do some work for me, the guy asked for₦500 when we demanded his bill. Somebody said it honesty. I disagreed. It is pure foolishness.
We gave him ₦1000 at the end. I just shook my head.
What was this man going to do with ₦500?
What can ₦500 buy in today's Nigeria?
Our conscience didn't allow us pay ₦500,that was why we gave him ₦1000.This is a man that isn't less than 50years.
The poverty thing is good news to most people up north.
Bargaining with someone from the north is an experience to be remembered

you can say something outrageous and theyll still take it

My sister life has dealt with me big time.

I remember some time in 2002 when I got so broke and hungry that I called a popular food hawker and secretly begged her to sell food for me once a day and I will pay her anytime I have money and surprisingly she agreed. That was a life saver cos before then I will drink water all through the day and still laugh as though all is well.

To think this was after I have seen millions but an accident in 2001 sent me back to square -10.
Sorry about it. There are still better days ahead

Thank God for that lady though. Help is always near
