Joe Igbokwe's story is a sad one. He came from deadliest level of poverty and it has destroyed his understanding of what it is, to be human. I was bamboozled by his rendition of teary story of sweat, tears and blood. And his allegiance to his Masters on how Lagos has benefitted him. I felt so ashamed reading such story, but then it exposes the mind behind the person, because when I read his comments, I used to wonder what manner of man would be so anti to his own tribesmen, then what I read is a story of a destroyed soul. A man who does not know he is a boy boy, a real one.

He is a slave and has no one to tell him.

so you believe in biting the finger that fed you. what did nnewi do for Joe.? abeg Mowu hia word. you potor ppl can't be trusted

I looked into this woman's eyes and I saw pains and withheld tears. This is more reason why we should pay attention to the physically disabled or those with abnormalities. I advocate that these people have a say in our affairs And shouldn't be segregated or made to feel bad. I don't blame the woman, she probably was in love with the man And felt telling him her deep secrets would make him abscond, leaving her heart shattered into pieces. she probably had told her previous partners and it didn't yield anything positive. Please let's show love to people with special disabilities. physical disability doesn't mean mental ability. We are all one and people need to understand that these people didn't choose to be the way they are. things like this make them feel inferior.
if you read my story, you'd learn from me. I'd be 19 by Oct this year, would be in my 400level hopefully by that October. So my dear and to whoever is reading it. I've been using just one eye since my primary school days after I lost the other to an operation gone wrong. it hasn't deterred ME from achieving my dreams. I've got brains and a body that would drive men agog. I don't care about the Stares I receive from people. I've simply learnt to overlook my imperfections. I pray God gives her a husband who'd love her truly.
please nobody should pity me ooo. I just wrote this to inspire others.

she's a big fool. what did she think would happen on wedding night

Focus on your own "president-less" country.

you de mind the mumu

Statsocial:
If there is something I admire about Bishop Oyedepo. It is his radical belief in young people. He gives responsibilities that are almost unbelievable to young people.

I mean who uses a young trained pilot as personal pilot without a career experience.

Or allow 'inexperienced' CU Architecture students in designing the biggest church auditorium in the world(faith theatre) and every other building that comes up in the university and presumably other universities and projects being handled by the commission.

He did this same thing in Covenant university when he bypassed over 95 professors to appoint Dr. Oludayo(who was then youngest registrar) as registrar-how that didn't cause dissent, I don't know.

I myself has been skeptical about some of his choices. Especially using a pilot without career experience or using certified but inexperienced CU Architects for a project reportedly worth 40 billion(faith theatre) and 700 billion(canaancity)

But at least I have never seen any negative consequence to those choices he makes. Infact most young ppl he uses are excellent at the job he assigns them.

experience is overrated. good to have but overrated

Tolatutu:
men are not superior to women. Gender equality is about equal opportunities and equal rights and we should stop bringing in religion when are are talking about laws. If we want to be talking about religions then lets go all the way and not pick and choose what suits us. I'am sure in your years of education you've come across women who are smarter than you and i'am sure there are women are are physically stronger than you. Gender equality is about giving opportunities to who ever is best, you can choose to practice whatever you want in your relationships that's prerogative as long as you can find a spouse who reasons like you . But in the general society (work place, schools e.t.c )you should put that aside.We are talking about things like women should be able to inherit property just like their brothers, landlords should only be interested in paying ability (income) not your sex or marital status. Passport office should not be asking a woman to get a letter of consent from her husband when no man will be required to provide such. As an adult a woman should be able to get a passport on her own merit, its only when children are concerned that the consent of both parents should be needed.

women should stop being terrible tenants (complain and don't pay on time)

mizquote:
before some peeps misconstrue gender equality as sex equality let me give a brief definition to the both.

sex.
it means the biological difference between a man and woman which is not socially constructed and it is universal e.g all men are born with penis while the woman with the vjayjay.

both men and women folk can not be the same.

gender.
it is the difference roles assigned to both sexes l.e male and female which is socially constructed and differs from country to country and continent to continent.

e.g, in some countries people see it as a taboo for men to cook while other country see it as no biggie.

men pay bride price in Nigeria while women pay groom price in India.

not every man is strong and not every woman is weak and fragile.

this is why "gender equality" term was coined to give rooms for the differences.

let women who feel they re strong and love tedious job be given the opportunity to do that. they can go into the military and engineering without being discriminated on.


let's men who wish to be cooks, nurses, road side akara fryer be given the opportunity to do that without been discriminated on.


men can be house husbands if they wish to and their wives bread winners.

how many happy homes do you know with house husband.there's a reason biology is a science

ojeota:
When you talk about equality you are talking about 50-50, a perfect 50, with no -1 or 0. attached to it, which is impossible in reality.
What i am saying is equality does not exist, not just in terms of gender but also in all spheres of life.
The thing we should be advocating for is mutual respect. Respecting one another irrespective of who we are, is all that matters.

see woman with sense. this one go quick see happy marriage

Adaeze003:
I think what you mean is men have superior strength generally(because I'm pretty sure I'm physically stronger than some men somewhere)?

Not trying to change or influence your views but you saying men are superior and still trying to state things or areas you feel women are better than men is kinda counter productive.

igbo kwenu. you go fear igbo power,show me your muscle

RiloKiley:
True.
I know of a couple where the man comes home from work by 5pm while the wife returns by 8pm. And yet he will still sit down on his behind and wait for his wife to come home to start cooking and cleaning and washing. He doesn't life a single finger to help. That is a plain lazy man. No man who loves his wife will sit down and watch her suffer like that. The least he can do is help.

Tis her fault. why did she marry a spiteful man like that. what isshe doing with her salary, can't she hire help and outsource cooking and let the man foot the other bills

Tolatutu:
Exactly, can you imagine . His type will soon start dating one single girl with no worries and enough time to pamper herself and blame his wife saying has let herself go how won't she look 2ce his age . In that relationship now he will still open his mouth to call her the weaker sex while she works twice as hard as him

why did she marry a spiteful man like that. what is she doing with her salary, can't she hire help and outsource cooking and let the man foot the other bills.

mazizitonene:
like we say in local parlance...."wetin u no know senior u".....try and educate yourself more bro

I Don talk my own I no hia superior argument, talk your own or forever hold your peace.none of your grammar has solved anything for 60 years, I de talk Wetin don bring not 1 not 2 not 3 countries out of poverty,all within 30 years, you're there quoting pidgin parables. who e epp. if you're enjoying the underdevelopment, I am not. so I will do my own, you continue de pontificate, after 60 years we see who has achieved more

WotzupNG:
Investor BJ, one of the guys 9ice praised in his song ”Living Things” appears ready to rival Hushpuppi as Gucci Master.

The ”Hardworking Socialite”, according to 9ice, decided to walk into a Gucci store, burn some dough then storm out with loads of Gucci materials.

Can this make Hushpuppi green with envy?

Y’all keep thinking about that while I go patronize the Aba Made.

invest in what exactly

Rxpetite:
Who is gentry and what does he do?
Watch nairaland guys make escuses for this man and blame her.

Same losers who are always on Genevieve Nnaji' s case about marriage.
I see a trend here. Apparently most nigerian men can't handle success of their women. Tonto dike, tiwa savage Toke makinwa and the list goes on.

more like women can't handle their success

almsofgold:
with all the money at his disposal,he could not buy himself good health

maybe but who said that's why he stole the money. besides old age no send pesin.

EmpressOfHearts:
You could not have said it better... running a business and running the govt require completely different understandings on how each operates and functions...

misquote misquote
opposite opposite

EmpressOfHearts:
Lolol.... its more to it than just "you hire and you fire"... this isn't the apprentice (which the "boss" who we think "hires and fires" will quickly learn soon enough)... far different from a boss or board of directors at some firm single-handedly making decisions... just because he's president doesn't mean he is above what we call checks and balances... its funny because this very statement depicts I believe the very mentality Trump walks around with... "oh how hard could this be I just wave my big stick, point and boss folks around, and tell them what to do as I did at Trump Towers"... those "checks and balances" are what we call the job of the House and the Senates.. the gov't sector it is VERY different, my friend... I could be here all day explaining why there are vast differences but theres no need to I just know because I live and breathe it daily... don't take my word for it... however each and everyone is entitled to be as aware or as unaware as their heart desires

he hires and fires. all there is to executive.

cao:
It appears you messed up the quote system. You say one man, one vote. While, by that logic, Trump should not be president, since he didn't win the popular vote, but that's the way it is. Draining the swamp, that's proven to be ironic, since he appears to still be using its residents. And I loved the fact that he basically opened his own yash about it during his victory tour. Saying how he thought the phrase was hookey (sp?) and cheesy, but kept using it when he noticed the audience liked it. His audience kept smiling and clapping, while I kept laughing. The guy will lie and then tell you he lied. Kudos to him.

So you think US isn't corrupt, my guy every country has its corruption, some even covered by loopholes in the law. The same country that ran an illegal war, remember? Everyone is always quick to call Clinton, the mother of ISIS. Err...riddle me this, who was in charge of the US during said illegal war? Bush. The same war that helped cultivate these terror groups. Let's not even start talking about how the US has messed up some countries for their own interest. The continent of South America can attest to some weird ish from the US over the years - seriously, they overthrew Guatemalan government in the name fruit (either bananas or oranges. Oh and apparently communism. You can read up on United Fruit Company). The whole tax returns thing is simply to show himself accountable to the people. It's one of the main things every western politician does.

Did you just say show me the book on presidential carriage?! Now I know, you ain't serious.


I don't drink coffee and I've written longer epistles on NL.

bagels then

seguno2:
So why has he been unable to pay full salaries for over two years?
What has he been buying with all the billions he stole that could have been used for providing jobs for unemployed youths?

andreweb:
It's high time we start holding Nigerian politicians responsible

hold dem na, who hold you?

jakD:
But he will die one day.
I just hope Nigerian politicians can always think of death before doing rubbish and nonsense.

death is all they think about, why they hammer for their children

almsofgold:
The "honor amongst thieves" crooner is dying.all those wealth does not matter now.money has been put to shame. He should find peace with his lord before his passage.

what does money have to do with death. or poor ppl don't die

so poverty used to fend off disease?

mazizitonene:
If only this our current politicians can realise and understand that nothing lasts forever....except your legacy, live to impact and improve your world......you will eventually die.....and your children may not be as fortunate as you.....

no one ever survives the world.....

that's why they loot for their children (their legacy). who development of society epp

NwaAmaikpe:


I pity the man who chose to ridicule himself by asking Bovi for a favour.

Abovi Ugboma is unrepentantly stingy, he hates to help people.
This same guy turned down Debbie Rise's request to perform for free in his show, and the same fool was begging Olamide to perform for free.
He only associates with people he thinks have made it.

Even his blood brother Tome is wallowing in penury at one bank in Ughelli Effurun.
Bovi can NEVER help anyone in need.

Stingy fool who thinks helping people depletes him.

is he their fada? which contract dem sign. so banker na poor man now, na wa o

subtlemee:
This is harsh..there are better ways to decline helping somebody

such as

Temidayo9:
When did individual now become a region?I hope you can read in between the lines

is it the region that will wake up and do Mr individuals living in the region. you're waiting for monkey to work so you can chop abi, I see, no wonder Nigeria scattered the way it is, everybody waiting for somebody to fix only for nobody to achieve anything meanwhile anybody could've done it. so sad. anyway, more for me.at least now I know not to depend on lazy Nigerians support. I'm on my own
