Hehehe,,,,Maybe I should withdraw my statement and create some sense of hope

Lol no need, you were just saying the truth. Its not our fault, we should just do our best

Ndi nsukka will arrive here to complain in 3...2...1....

Cherrybae:
Don't mind all quoting me out of emotion. While election were almost over on Saturday, I got the hint about the results and I shared it here via a thread, all the LGA I mentioned then we're the results that later went viral.

AAC has won the election, INEC delaying based on security advice given by the military and police, they want the tension to calm down and they announce the results.

If INEC had declared the results there would have been crisis then.

I bet my life that with the results on ground, AAC has won.

but why are you so passionate about it, if i may ask? Its rare for a female

Does it make any difference to you?

or maybe you work for them

DanDeeBoss:
Well, until these problems are solved (which would be difficult to), we're in for a long thing.....

Lol, i wanted to make a comment on how long it would take but i didnt want to sound pessimistic, so i went for a harmless platitude. But I guess youre more cynical than i am

DanDeeBoss:
@the bolded is What Nigeria and other African countries lack ,but then I think our leaders aren't ready to make things work, our economy isn't encouraging too....


About "restructuring".....haha, thank goodness you said it "petered" out.....

Yes, i would say its a mixture of poor leadership, a culture of self-interest and greed, and an unstable economy. The economy point is an interesting one, because it crashed fairly recently but the bad behaviour was there previously. so it could be even more of an intrinsic problem

Onwards and upwards

Let the best man win

He has a pretty wife. But his voice drives me nuts. Does he have a sinus problem?

it is said that he used violence to chase Amaechi out in 2015, so he is being chased out the same way. And no job unless you are ikwerre

It is also said that Amaechi was utterly terrible during his second term

They should do and declare a winner so rivers citizens will relax

But with all the ethnic groups in Rivers, shouldnt they have a zoning arrangement? So they wont complain about Ikwerre, ikwerre, all the time

DanDeeBoss:
Then it's safe to say Nigeria favors the "middle class" and the "rich" only....

Life in general favours the wealthy or middle class, but societies that pride themselves on being refined put contingency measures in place to look after those who are less fortunate- or at least keep them alive, with food and shelter

Thats why its important that you mentioned infrastructure since basically all the problems we are facing right now are due to shoddy, outdated and corrupt social structures that cannot serve the people they were created for

I remember last year when "restructuring" was the watch-word. It was a good idea, but it petered out. That and "true federalism"

Elvis778:
well that's right, every one wants what's best, but when there is nothing close to the best, we will have to accept the better one........
Apc won't do any better, rather they will be worse, Eze as a senator never contributed shi shi to Nsk, imagine when he becomes a governor?? Teachers would definitely go hungry. So let's enjoy the one we have now until we see someone better than him. He's trying and we hope he improves

Yeah i agree with you. He seems like a genuine person but i just think he should do more

Honey dripping onto wealth

Jiang:
This man has sold his unborn kids for money, Dbanj refused thesame deal that's why they had a fall out

hahahaha something is wrong with you

Sorry dear. Maybe he should have moved with MOPOL like his counterparts in PH

Gkemz:
There are more reasons to leave this than to remain.

10.To be free and secured from village people. etc

Lol

DanDeeBoss:
Infrastructure??
Life expectancy??
Comfortability??
Employment??

Infrastructure could be improved, life expectancy is terrible (but class-based), its comfortable if you have the money, employment is based too much on connections, but if one can get a decent job it removes other obstacles

Let me try

in Nigeria

-more secure extended family networks
-less emasculation of the male child- though we overdo it sometimes
-cheap (if wages were not stagnating at the rate at which they are) and organic food
-almost no chance of a child being affected by gay/transgender agenda except for anomalies like bobrisky
-lower incidences of mental illness- resilience and a generally positive outlook on life

What i notice is that upper-middle class elites usually combine the 2- that is to live and bring children up in nigeria (thus retaining the traditional aspect of family life, being free from racism, retaining culture) and travelling for the holidays (letting everyone cool off and have fun abroad, have different experiences, bla bla). A good example of this is the much-maligned Yusuf Buhari. He came back to reap the benefits of being (an albeit, very privileged) nigerian. If its 100% bad, what is he doing here? In some other countries which are even worse, even the head of states child runs for his or her life

people who travel abroad to stay and live there tend to be solid/technical middle classes who are being short-changed by the government/cheated of the normal existences they are supposed to have (teachers, academics, nurses, doctors) and who leave out of desperation. I remember reading somewhere that a sign of a stable democracy is a thriving middle class

Nigeria rocks increasingly between 2 extremes: people barely eating even once a day and people with gigantic houses, 4 or 5 cars and the res

Remember in those days, Nigerians would only travel abroad for their studies and maybe work for a while. Then they would come straight back. It was the ensuing economic chaos of the 1980s (or 90s? somebody correct me) that widened the gap in quality of life between the west and the east and that sent our middle class packing in droves

Its better to flit in between the two, rather than stay put in either one

uuzba:
In another thread, an 8year old Warri girl said, "Them go flog tire"....
Is it scolding that will now change a fully grown coconut headed wife?

So you advocate beating like the other guy?

tesppidd:
let us assume you are/become an unremorseful/unrepentant wife(am sure you're not from your comments),

what would it be?

beating, divorce or pampering?

emm. Pampering. but just because beating and divorce are two extremes.

actually i prefer to just discuss it as adults so that i'll know how to change. but if i dont listen you can report me to my mom...i think that would make me jump out of my skin

Misslagbaja:
No one is talking about her being a baby mama. You that you are not a baby mama, who knows you? What do you have?

Modified: I misspoke, excuse me

tesppidd:
interesting.

we must realize there are different kinds of wives.

Some are very remorseful, repentant and apologetic when they are wrong.
For these ones there is no limit to the level of patience for them. One must continue to understand them and continue to forgive and encourage them when they snap or misbehave.

There are some who are never remorseful especially if you dare to scold them.
These ones want you to pamper them and pet them even if they commit the same offence 100 times in a day. They only show remorse if you beg them. But if you dare shout at them, sorry for you.

Frankly some woman are very unremorseful and unrepentant.

For men who would never hit a woman,

They are left with TWO options only;

1. Divorce
2. Counselling (Which might involve a 3rd party)

Ok. yes I understand you now

but the beating is just somehow. wouldnt you feel like a monster. every time you make a sudden movement, she will flinch. and your children will be messed up

is that one a marriage

.

tesppidd:
some behave badly and when they get scolded they can't take it, they scold back, they bark back, they shout back.

some behave badly, despite that you scold with one word, they respond with 10 words.

what do you do?

forget about movies and telemundo, this is reality.

what do you do?

I understand your point but you seem to be advocating for reporting to parents as a last resort, when other options have been exhausted

Not flying off the handle and beating shades of red out her every time she offends

But what would you do? Im interested in your answer

femi4:
or reporting her to Nairaland

Even that one is better

adedehinbo:
He is a Christian terrorist, there is no other names that qualifies him more than that

what an oxymoron, how can one be a christian terrorist

lagdmark:
His village people used remote on him

he should have blocked the signal..no need to turn yourself and your family to an international disgrace

tesppidd:
or begging and pampering her whenever she behaves badly.

what happened to scolding her when she behaves badly? Or whenever anyone behave badly, for that matter?

sammirano:
Boeing itself explained that the program ought to activate once the plane is stalling in order to stabilize which makes sense. However, that is not the case.

Also, the tendency to stall as you say may be that the tail of the plane is heavier than prior model.

Reports are also coming in of unusual airspeed with the flight.

Pilots in the US also confirms that the plane gives issues but there were able to maneuver.

The fact is that plane needs to be thoroughly reviewed.

I watched a news report on it yesterday but i cant remember the details. Maybe the programming was overzealous and kicked in inappropriately

Someone said that they moved the engine towards the back and this made the front tip upwards, so they brought in this programme to correct it

Pilots complained before but there was some kind of cover-up. People have tried to blame the Ethiopian fellow but another pilot from the same airline came forward and said that they were not provided with extra training by Boeing

Probably partly a training issue since US pilots have been working around it. More difficult in other countries especially in the third world

A shame all round.

tesppidd:


If you beat them they call you a wife beater and tell you real men don't hit women.

If you report them to their parents they tell you you're not man enough and you need pampers?

Abeg which one do you prefer?

Lol, so the choice is between reporting her to her parents or beating her to a pulp?

frying pan to fire

they chop but left stains around their mouths...better luck next time..

corper wee

sammirano:
Bull shi t. How do you explain a program that dives the plane when there is no apparent stall.

it was trying to preempt stalling because the plane had a tendency to tilt upwards

It was possible to override the programme but Boeing did not tell the pilots that they needed extra training, also the override may take too long to implement when the plane is already crashing

Bad software with no training

zinizta:
i'll look it up... for some strange reasons i always thought Oshomhole's wife is Ethopian...hmmm..my bad

there was a wrong information making the rounds when they first wed that she was ethiopian but the edo state government came out and corrected it

Psoul:
May his Soul Rest In Peace.

Taking analysis of his name, I saw where his problem came from.
His name was his problem

Kross Aniwetalu

Kross(Cross): Cross is a symbol of death and not just death but a painful death.

Aniwetalu: This is Igbo language. Literal translation is, given from the ground. That means, from ground I came and there I shall return.
Combination of the two names signify prompt death.

May God console his family.

an interesting analysis, but it depends on your perspective

A cross is, by modern standards, a symbol of hope and redemption

being given from the ground is a neutral statement. or dont human beings come from the ground? it could be seen to mean having a good root or stable family background. or maybe his ancestor was a successful farmer who was grateful to the goddess Ani for a good provision. "Ani has brought forth... "

i feel you are just being morbid

femi4:
what is zamzam water

Water from a miraculous spring that emerged when Hajar (Hagar) and Ismail (Ishmael) were dying of thirst in the desert

Muslims consider it sacred and at times travel there specifically to drink it

The source has been found to have been contaminated, with high levels of arsenic and nitrate

Saudi govt allows people to take small amounts but not to sell or export it

People purporting to have it in abundance, whether selling the real or fake, are potentially selling carcinogenic water to thousands of people
