Modath i am here

Ok, emperor... Pls.go ahead.

check your mentions

Emperor, i did, didn't see anything..


@ Elder Gbawe,

I get your points & they are well thought out, but at the same time, the other side argue the way it suits them simply because that is their reality....

I am always balanced in my opinions because i LIVE here.. i see , know & feel the polity unlike when people base their opinions on what they read in blogs & online media platforms, who are known for Hyberbolic & gross EXAGGERATION...

When they then do a comparison of what obtains in their climes, they tend to posit some opinions without being fully aware of the limitations & peculiarity of different societies , case in point; Debt burden & mass retrenchment of Civil servants....

As for why this thread is on life support, some outsider folks kept reporting posters (despite being guilty of same offences on their own NUMEROUS threads ) & the back & forth movement of the thread...

Factor in clash of wills, Godzilla proportion egos & differing ulterior motives, the thread went south..

tupacshakur:
Mo wa pa o, Aunty Modath. Mo lero pe you're doing great too!

You know, this thread's the only reason I've been logging on to Nairaland for the past 3 weeks or thereabout. It actually ebbed away my tribalistic and trouble-cum-ban-causing tendencies as I seldom visit other threads.

Now, some "saintly" people think we aren't doing it well. [i]O ga fun won sha

Damita Jo? Not yet. I've given up on finding her on NL, though.

That is the crux of the matter, the calming effect of this thread is hurting the site's bottomline so action had to be taken.... We live in a CAPITALIST world, HONOUR & RESPECT can go hang !!

Mynd44, Why are you editing my post

You are finding it hard to ban my moniker cos i don't break the rules, so you'd prefer to scare me off abi?

&

I am still within my rights to reiterate my opinion that "It isin black folks to hurt one another" #Fact, #Nodebate

Black folks sold their kinsmen into SLAVERY to whitemen, so i don't judge new generation black folks, it is in the blood..

P.S... Analysts on AIT picked points from this thread to discuss on Kaakaki on "VIABILITY OF STATES"...

That is a vindication that we didn't waste over 30 days to make our voices heard..

francizy:
I've decided to go with stanbic and their 220! Thanks dear. If to say you never marry now, I for marry you!

.... hollup...You can apply for assistant husband ;foreign transactions, since i like to buy buy with cards, yours will come in handy..

tpiadotcom:
many royal fathers are or were highly educated, it's not as rare as you're making it seem.

as per wife snatching, etc, that is in the same boat as the story being peddled about out of wedlock children being the norm in Yoruba culture.

I make it a point of duty to always walk away from issues that can cause strife but you know quite well that you have twisted my words but for what purpose & intent i do not understand .....

It is not in the yoruba to celebrate pregnancy out of wedlock but i (& i'm sure 90%of yoruba people can attest to this fact) have not known one teenage pregnant girl, unmarried single grown lady, or a 2nd wife to be lampooned or thrown out into the streets...

I have spoken to people from a tribe who claim they'd prefer feticide is ok to add to fornication & they really don't care what happens to the child & the mom as long as no one knows about it, or do you think the baby selling thing doesn't have a root cause ..

Take a random census & do a comparative analysis of how many illiterate artisans in the SW really went through the whole nine yards of marriage.... They have their women & their children & they are living their life as they deem fit, who then has the self abrogated right to take them to task for it ?!!!

For clarity sake ONLY (don't owe no one any explanation) I will reiterate this : Yoruba people have deep cultural values & norms who don't make it a NORM to have out of wedlock children, but when people do, they are not treated as PARIAHS like folks who claim to be of the race closest to JESUS but whose ways of life has no resemblance to that..

BTW, Some beautiful pic of colourful yoruba engagement to feast the eyes on & help cure some craziness & petty mindedness. ..

omenka:
Some truth there, but trust me, as soon as he becomes a governor, his opinion would change.

But his comparison is flawed...

Every state in the US control their resources, police themselves, even make their own laws & statutes, so da fuq is he saying ...

Lily livered that he is, become dumb in the senate & go on twitter to form overlord.. Shebi hin be dey make mouth about making public NASS salary & sorts, abeg make e go siddon on top bed of barb wired nails jare !!

Devolve power, go back to regionalism & see how this country will take off like lighting....

francizy:
How does the form M work?

Just go the customer service desk in your branch, they will guide you, it is international trades unit that facilitates it & also carry your acct off along... But i hope you know the bank won't pay the forex to you, it will go straight to the vendor.

Oh oh, thought i replied this earlier but when you get numerous mentions from "them" , one can't reply all.

Stanley08:
Lol. See as people just dey drop tales by moonlight per second per second for here.
@modath wat did Stanley do oh?! Lol.
Stanbic down to 218? That's new. After i don do my Blackfriday shopping abi? Something is wrong with them.

You know you guys know where the greenest grasses are nah, abi na lie?

& i really got charged 218, i just assumed it was cos i checked out in USD since the 208.something wasn't working out between stanbic & i & i was tired of doing twitter back & forth with them.....

Their uninformed CC rep who call to argue with one are extra annoying as well..

OLAADEGBU:
This one pass "becareful".

Op, there is propaganda & there is outright falsehood!!

Do you or anyone around you have or ever operated a dorm account to check the veracity of this STORY?

Who told you dorm accounts are banned?

Na wah for Radio Blood!!!

Aareonakakanfo:
Hahahaha I knew him before he became the Governor of Osun state.Nice man

Baba Kabiru?, se e jo gbe ni egbeda abi, ni agbo ile won ni Ilesa? Abi e jo ja ija Nadeco against Abacha ni?



@ ibebe , there is no way you can love the Yoruba tribe better than i do, love love love ERRTHING about us, It is so bad that work colleagues who are non yoruba call me "defender" cos i don't see nothing wrong in the yoruba way of life...

One told me sometime ago that if she didn't know better, she'd think i have a problem expressing myself in English or Gossiping cos i switch to Yoruba once i see any other kinsman/woman & i will stay speaking even if the person is responding in English.


One person from another tribe was trying to ridicule yorubas for having out of wedlock kids even as xtians, told her (+her group) that children are gifts from God & are all wanted, & we are way way better than "those" who throw out the pregnant teens, send them into the streets & sell "the" children!! ... They never repeated any of such near me!!! They know berra..

Aareonakakanfo:
Ibebe you know that robot news is the most impressive thing I've heard this week? Bbriliant!.That kind of idea can only come from an OAU Graduate.Those guys are gggoood.Have you heard about "Humane"?

Awa ti OAU nda un..


@ Ibebe , even though i travel with my ward(tween,) , I know what our culture demands... It is a way of life & i don't give it a thought, it's just for a fortnight...



On the Osun open governance style, I applaud & at the same time have my reservation cos it gives some folks who claim to be lost tribe of some persecuted race from other climes "mouth" to talk, when their own situation is no better, Just because they are living in delusion & are ignorant of the real state of their own States!!

But, with democracy, one must take the good with the not so good, everything has its own Con..

Aareonakakanfo:
Like I said, there's a strategic ploy to kill off this thread.How can 7 people get banned within the same period I skimmed through all my CabbieAC posts and I was looking for an offensive comment,I couldn't find.Interloper got banned same with Drmoffy,Shymm3x,CabbieAC and you as well.Make I no talk

Speaking of the games,when I'm ready, I'll tell you

The thing tire me oooo, been on NL for years & years, never got spam botted till i made it my biz to reverse harass the enemies of Nigeria Peace & Progress..

Unity is not compulsory, Peace & progress on the other hand is non.negotiable...


Ibebe sis mi owon, ayam fine.. awon omo nsere, the in laws trip na december ending, getting ready for the expected iyawo ile chores

ShymmeXS:
Who're the masses?

The folks who ought to be the masses are the ones scrounging for crumbs everywhere and the useful idiots who think flowery words and window-dressing is leadership.

Both the leaders and followers in Nigeria are utter failures. You can't even separate the two.

EoD, No more no less....I'm going to give two examples to illustrate my position that both the leaders & the led deserve each other...

1. I have an aunt who has virtually abandoned her real biz to engage in "area godmother politics", her definition of a "good" leader is how much the said politician is ready to cough up to maintain their loyalty...

She's in her 50's & been in politics since forever, only changes allegiance as belle face, once i was pushed to ask her "infrastructures & good governance nko", she just looked @ me & smiled like i was a mumu & asked if i think Nigeria can ever be great again , said the country is spoilt beyond repair & each man is for himself...

I was hurt beyond words that day & you know why? She & her cohorts are the delegates that choose candidates in primaries...

2.A family friend is an engineer in an IOC/NNPC JV, said there was a community development scheme that the IOC was to undertake, refurbishment of classrooms & the small health centre in the community.... He said the project didn't see light of day cos the elders were distinctly split into two groups

Group A, wanted the company to pay them royalty before embarking on a project that is meant to benefit their own community while Group B claimed their own children were no longer of elementary school age & the funds for the said project should be shared to everyone to solve other needs....

He said the oyinbo men just kept asking the naija guys if there is mass insanity that the community need to be tested for cos they just don't get the kind of mentality that inhibits personal progress & development....


I'm disappointed with the slow progress of this admin but I'm still holding on to hope, & on the travel thing, IT IA UNFAIR the position people have taken, it is not like he is on vacation in the carribeans...

Shy, do an analysis of the places he had been to in recent days, they are all important, Gas exporting countries in Iran, Chogm in Malta, Climate change in france have one impact or the other on our policies ..

I believe the new year will come with new things...

90% of the people complaining actually are praying for the failure of the nation to mock the state of the nation...

Crude oil as at yesterday was 44.50$ P.B, no matter what we say or postulate, this nation is a mono exporting one & to diversify won't happen in 6mths, even 12 months is too soon!!!

laudate:
The lagoon is not a restriction. It is in fact, an asset. But many governors in Lagos have not harnessed its potentials appropriately. Fashola did a little bit, by trying to resuscitate water transport in the state, but what has been done so far, is only a tip of the iceberg.

Cities like Venice, Amsterdam etc., have done a lot to harness the potentials of their waterways. With the kind of funds Lagos has raised through the bond market in the previous years, it should have done a whole lot more to harness the potential of its waterways.

Venice & Amaterdam are old old cities that developed their waterways system before the advent of motor cars & only built on from that, so you are comparing apples & oranges & BTW black people and water don't mix well..

It is only those whose circumstances of birth put them right in the midst of water that evolved to being one with it, the ilajes, ijaws etc....

The reason many black people died in '05 hurricane katrina was cos folks couldn't swim..

&

Laudate, you completely ignored the "where is the funds to go over water," question

Belmot:
No structure No victory.... Ajimobi had the right structure

Why did you support my motion!!, should have allowed our bros to win his "emotional" argument nah..

Ajimobi wouldn't have returned if he had been in another party with the momentum APC had but our bros was mentioning luck, na dia i bin give up, a kan shaut!

What did i miss?

This weekend was filled with family activities..

francizy:
I'm about to transact with Skye but am thinking, if they aren't offering good deals, then I open a Stanbic account. Does Stanbic really transact that low (199.5)?? was it MasterCard or bank transfer? By the way, am getting a machine that weighs a lill over 120kg in total. .. I have a lot to spend so, don't wanna have any useless bank render me broke just cuz I'm buying stuffs online...

That 199.5 was stopped in August , read this thread back, you'll see testimony & i believe you can use Form M nah so you can get CBN rate, or Form M can't do it?

SUPERBOMBER:
Just observe boko haram, they started by shooting christians and blasting churches and when that did not make christians rise up in arms against muslims, they shifted ground and began to shoot muslims and blast mosques. The first time a bomb was bombed in Kano could have started a religious war. The muslims were already marching to sabon gari to wipe out the christians if not that one of the shooters was caught and he was clearly a muslim.

The north is of particular concern here because they keep on having so many children they have no plans for. The north has a vast expendable army of illiterate almajiris littering the region. These are the same jobless youths that are waiting for the slightest opportunity like a cartoon in Denmark to descend on Christians.

As for this IPOB issue, they likely will go ahead with the protest in Lagos and it is up to the Yorubas to either tactfully ignore them or attack them which will lead to massive carnage.

I only pray the CIA have not already positioned the guys that would shoot and kill some protesters and those that would rush to attack them and other Igbos in Lagos. I tell you the end of Nigeria can start in Lagos.

Must they be right with their Nigeria must break by 2015 projection ?, BTW ayam already fearing ooo & nor wan talk about them no more, life is sweet ooo, dem kain people sabi locate person quick oo

francizy:
I dey here dey suffer myself since without knowing say my paddy sabi all these things. Padi abeg, pm me the best bank or transaction method to use for my online transaction. Thank you

Awwwhhhh, I don't know much, it is them mavin tumababa , Stanley that are your guys,..

My cards don't see much action unless i travel or i buy & deliver to people to send to me or bring home & i only buy personal effects for my family & my siblings....

Even the Aliex transavtion i want to do & I'm scoping mavin for is not more than 1kg of weave on for me, & my sis....
1

But kindly avoid the underlisted, they are up to no good unless they just changed their ways...

1.Zenith, 2.UBA 3.Access 4.Fidelity, 5. GTB... All these I've had experience with, the most annoying was Fidelity who assured me they were doing 212 & gat me @ 229.. i was abroad then , didn't have internet banking so couldn't take my cash out... , i vex no be small & left the test of the money untouched....



Mavinc4u,

Stanbic has dropped the ball but that 199.5 & 207 were the bomb diggity, solved my funds need back then & also funded dorm account by wire transfer as well, i guess the saying that nothing good lasts forever na Stanbic dem dey refer to...... & babe i'll hold you to your word ooo, na xmas hair parole ooo

mavinc4u:
hmm. are you sure you checked out in naira? if yes contact them with your prove from Amazon website.

It will solve nothing beyond giving giving one a headache, I've spent more than 17 minutes (they called me cos i halla for dem for twitter ) yabbing them for their deception once.... They claim it is Mastercard rate they use, so i let am go make person nor go develop hbp on stanbic matter..

mavinc4u:
okay, better than stanbic

E nor better nothing, their rate is as inconsistent as irregular ********, can't ever be sure of what they'd charge , only guesswork...

I believe checking out in USD is actually better in the long run, observed i got charged 218. Something....


Want to buy some stuff on Ali, make i PM you to use that your card & you send to me??

Me nor go ask you for details cos na only torture go make you give am up..

firsttymum:
Ok thanks alot that's my intention.... Thanks dear u far too kind


Modath and Nefertitiram u people b "doing Twins" in everything

You don't even know the half of it!!!

omenka:
I love intelligent women.

You know, was watching a History documentary on the CIA and her covert ops and was marvelled at what those guys could do to a country, her government and her people using just a few million dollars. Saw declassified documents regarding the Iran Contra, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, Pearl Harbour incident, the Cold War, and heard accounts from retired operatives- I grew goose bumps honestly!

Those guys wouldn't bat an eye-lid financing even ISIS to get what they want- it doesn't matter the number of lives that would be lost in the process. The words morality and humanity don't exist in their lexicon.

A lot of sinister plots are being set in motion behind the scenes using some patsies and the gullible "citizens" are doing exactly what is expected of them- like candidates of MK Ultra on LSD. I'm beginning to think Kanu is a CIA patsy. What I'm yet to understand is what the US stands to gain from destabilising Nigeria, and by implication, West Africa.

It is such a pity we don't have a competent spy agency to engage these guys who seem hell bent on bringing the country to her knees. Indeed, protesting in Lagos would present them with the much needed spark to ignite the sort after inferno.

Now it is up to the Lagos boys and State security to observe restraint in how the deal with the situation should those gullible "expendable pawns" go ahead with their plans- this is reminiscent of the Jega-Orubebe saga- the response of their host would determine a lot in the days ahead.

Happy sunday to you too...

One conspiracy theory i propounded in my head & will always hold on dearly to is that the west need third world countries to be underdeveloped, in chaos & in perpetual poverty in order to.....

1. Get cheap labour for their industries & their citizens..

2. Sell arms & ammunitions...

3. Get ready market for the produces & products ....

Thereby enriching themselves & maintaining their place as superpowers..

Wish God could just press DELETE & start all over again...

Classicool:
What happened to Ajimobi was luck... Him too knew it.... That's why when he was giving his thanksgiving speech he said he couldn't believe him that he would return....

But if was the right structure why didn't Alao Akala returned in 2011 despite the fact that PDP almost swept all vote in both Senate,Reps except Gov... So there's nothing like right structure.... If it's right structure why did APC lose chunk of their reps in oke-ogun and ibadan though some later decamp...

You win, you will hold on to your argument no matter how glaringly CONTRADICTORY ,there is no need taking it further....

I'm sure the Agboola, Adeseun, Lanlehin & co will be wondering what they did to mother luck in 2015..

You can have the last word... *mic drop* ..

Classicool:
In Oyo state there's nothing like right structures.... We vote as it pays..... Last election is an indicator to that... Ogbomoso votes massively Labour Party..... Oyo town vote massively for Accord party but Labour party came second..... Oke-Okun split between APC,LP.... Ibarapa split between APC and Accord.. Ibadan APC and Accord... So in Oyo state there's nothing like right structures is the battle for sharpest....

Bros you see yasef? ... You used your own hands to flaw your own argument...

So it was Ajimobi that payed in 2015 ?, conveniently forgetting that he is just a mere beneficiary of the change mantra (According to people who are in the thick of events when it comes to Oyo politics)

A large majority still maintain that he only got votes cos of the Buhari factor , likewise the Reps & Senators..

Don't argue for the sake of one upping the other person, let facts on ground guide you & be objective , days & weeks before the elections, we were inundated with talks & opinion about how it was sure Ajimobi wasn't going to return but what happened

Ajmobi's structure returned him to Agodi, we can stay all day complaining about the Buhari factor & what not but had Ladoja or Seyi Makinde had the same support base, either of them could have taken it too..

Toks07:
you can start size 2 now, you can get 1 or 2 cartons depending on how frequent you change him, it still boils down to calculating how many times you change him.
My DD is on the second carton of size 2. She used just 1 size one.
As rightly said huggies is a bit bigger than pampers.[b] I've used both and I prefer pampers swaddler, to me it absorb more and keep the poo and wee in more. [/b]Although a bit pricey than huggies comparing count to price.

Really, but i have a different experience....

Maybe my baby's wee in the 1st month was out of proportion cos i abandoned the few packs left of the swaddlers cos of combination of looking like he stuffed eggplant down there in no time & the new born size became too small after week 2 & a half... By week 3, we moved to size one,...

By week 5, we moved to size 2 & abandoned the rest at around 2months... He is 4mths now & he's on size 3 ...

I bought him the snug & dry in naija sef, though it was purchased in oke arin & sent to me in abuja, (the ones i paid excess luggage for was bad investment..) & i still wonder what kind of "chemical" locks in Boy pee like that!, It must be some voodoo ish!!

MayorofLagos:
When you build them you invite more population from non Yoruba regions to come and lay siege and thrill in the new engineering toy.

Thats not we need at moment. We need political restucturing quick.

You will remain blessed for this comment.....

I hardly engage people in this of discourse cos one hardly wins, the other side of the argument only view it on the periphery, never is the deep & all encompassing part given an objective look..

I refrain from criticizing successive governments in lagos ( a tinge of bias exists, i won't lie) because there exists a peculiar problem in Lagos & if Nigeria were to be populated with sane & sensitive leaders, Lagos should be getting double allocation...

Census / Opinions / assumptions put us at 180m people & 20m of these people live in lagos.. which means 1 in 9 Nigerians live Lagos, haba nah, there is no infrastructure put in place that will not fail...

Lagos also has a restriction; the Lagoon.... there is only so much that can be done when the Island has been fenced off.... & where is the fund to go over water ??
