GavelSlam:
Is he really?

Can you actually say the number of people involved in 419 is less than a million?

If you have to debate that in your head then that's not generalising.

if it is a million then it means, 99.5 percent of Nigeria's 200 million population are not into 419
if it is 10 millions then it means, 95 percent of Nigeria's 200 million population are not into 419

do you see why it still could be generalising?

Ishilove:
This is awkward...

An ignorant racist writes nonsense and some Nigerians are accepting it as gospel truth.

While we accept that Nigeria is a country bedevilled by corruption, this kind of generalisation has rendered the article nonsensical. How can you say 'every Nigerian is a scammer'? The most notorious scammers in history are Americans, Europeans and Asians. Every crook hiding in cyberspace can claim to be Nigerian because we already have a bad rep.

I dismissed the entire article when the silly writer inferred that Nairobi is in West Africa. I cannot take the thoughts of such an ignorant person seriously, whether black or white.

As for the Emmanuel who commented on the blog, he evidently belongs to that class of Nigerians in Diaspora who display their rock bottom self esteem and inferiority complex by being more American than the Americans.

Crap!

few write-ups in this thread contain as muush truth as this

We all speak from our perspectives really hence the danger of generalisation. If you are a Nigerian whose only interaction with foreigners was your multi-national colleagues, you would actually think the westerners (rather than Africa) are scammers. Can this be generalised ? No

The lady is speaking from her perspective (and hateful pre-convictions) while Emmanuel is looking for western acceptance.

Badboiz:
NL people and tribalism just tire me, I weak. Wetin consign Lagos, Abakaliki and Osun. Any development is for the good of everyone in that region irrespective of tribe.

the guy is a known troll who pretends to be igbo to insult igbos

non-igbos do not take him serious and you shouldn't

bond77:
Very funny! When a thief launches a book on Corruption, Guess who shows up? His fellow thieves. I swear corruption is really fighting back.

lol. including Ngige and Dogara right?

Nigeria is a theatre play right now. from whistle-blowing governors to dance-performing senators.

Abeg make Ambode come govern Nigeria. He seems the only one who is not giving us drama.

sarrki:
Their parents have killed millions

With bad road

Empty hospitals with endemic corruption

This is just the beginning to all looters no exemption

if only you knew Eugene!

NgeneUkwenu:
PDP!!!

Obasanjo !!!

HungerBAD:
Welcome bros.

We are all one big family here.

You must get thick skin to bear the Insults,and even bear am more if 2 days later you come discover say who yab you dey find him Jamb Centre(Pikin)

as in. I imagine if those who insult others and their tribes can say it to their faces.

You are not exonerated too o

SmartChoices:
Physical violence is the least dangerous form of violence.... Psychological​ violence and structural violence are worse dearie....

the bolded are not termed violence even though they could be more traumatic. Please re-read my post again

SmartChoices:
Nope. Violence is not condonable in any form. I abhor violence in all forms. However you will be making a grand mistake thinking violence is only in the physical form

Seems you are good in rational thinking. let me explain:

Violence is always in physical form. There are other types of abuse (e.g. verbal, emotional etc.) but Violence is PHYSICAL abuse (actual or intent) so when we say NO Violence we mean no physical abuse.

I agree "NO Violence" is tough. It requires restraint and is an anti-thesis of our natural human aggression (even more in males).

How can you beat a girl because she was rude in responding negatively to your advances. Do you know how many guys deserve to be beaten then for been rude to ladies?

Being rude is perspective and what one considers rude, another might not. A girl told me i was not her type and I considered it polite. some other guy would consider that rude. Another girl insinuated I am only interested in sleeping with her and I considered such stereotype rude. again, some other guy would not pick offence at that.

SmartChoices:
I am not in support of beating women. That said... Young ladies should learn to say NO without verbal assaults​.... You never know who you are dealing with.

The lady's tales doesn't add up... I suspect she verbally assaulted​ the poor guys and they lost it completely... I am always amazed at how ladies talk or act like this​ world is theirs just because some bloke asked them out...

O boy ye! We need to start again in training our boys. Start from the yet to be born. The current ones are un-trainable. Society/environment has beaten them into responding with agression to any form of abuse.

SalamRushdie:
If we dont get Ambode to be president oneday we would have failed ourselves in a way

I am anti APC (+anti-jonathan sha) but I agree

gprincead:
The girl ugly sha.

The guy needed a serious relationship with u by asking u to cook. He went out and bought the food to show u he can afford it.

Ur laziness made u lose not just a boyfriend but potential decent husband that will prefer eating in the house instead of outside.

there are no obligations in dating so i dont understand why she has to cook for him.

Every girl who comes to your house including your girlfriend (whatever that means) is a guest. if you share the apartment together, then you should take turns to cook unless it is already agreed that she should cook. Marriage is a different ball-game where obligations actually exist.

Silentscreamer:
Buhari is the worst president nigeria ever had.. Problem is even after he's gone, the effects of his bad rulership will still be felt.

I do not know the future but I know we are still feeling the bad effects of GEJ's rulership (or rather lack of it) during his tenure.

BlowBack:
Go and recite your koran and stop disgracing yourself here.

Sanusi's official name is Muhammadu Sanusi II.

His father was the Amir of Kano until he was dethroned in 1963 and his step brother then an ambassador to Senegal was turbaned as Amir of Kano.

Google Mummadu Sanus I and Muhammadu Sanusi II

****

Grandfather not father. FriendNG correct you na

nairaman66:
Why is Nigeria cursed with stupid leaders both the NA and HOA, stupid judiciary, and policing system? The way they react to things in general is mind boggling!

Someone who they rejected and humiliated some years ago, now they want to show recognition? Just no shame at all!! There was indeed a country

IPOB spotted !

ziddy:
The Benin lineage fizzled out late in the 18th century with the ascension to the throne of Ologun Kutere through his mother, Erelu Kuti. His father was an Ijesha man.

Akiolu and all the other princes of Eko draw their genealogical roots from the aborigines of Ijesha-land. They have zero genetic connection to Benin, though the original modes of dressing/paraphernalia subsist.

A benin man just confirmed this. Says there was a matriachial ascension somewhere which took out the Benin patri-lineage in the Lagos throne succession.

So Erelu Kuti was benin right?

Lucasbalo:
There were three finalist for the throne from Akinsemoyin wing of Ologunkutere royal house. The rest is political history. My old man was one of the final three.

Please could you confirm that the Obas of Lagos (especially those from the Ologun Kutere house) prior to Oba Akintoye were buried in Benin.
I see this in many online articles and books. I would like to know if this was fact as I am yet to see any alternative historical account except nairaland comments to the contrary.

bakynes:
Just like the Oba of Benin used to be buried in Ife.

not true

victorvezx:
Ogun state is viable and has some of the largest industries in the country, millions of igbos are in Ogun state, kaduna is viable and many more.
They are many. U should be worried about the fact that no south east state is at least viable

true i forgot Ogun.

not so sure of Kaduna

... and why should I be worried at the bolded?

omenkaLives:
If only you took two seconds to read the article, you would have understood that was a quote from a book and not something that was just said.

We all knew the buffoon wasnt even competent to lead his immediate family, let alone a country.

That aside, there's nothing wrong in talking about him to this day; after all, the consequences of his catastrophic leadership still dwell with us as we speak.

true. afterall we still talk about abacha

teelaw4life:
See this one adding benue. Where you thief am? I know a few Benue indigenes and they hate yeebos more than anything. One of them even said she'd rather die than marry a Igbo person. Stop packing states that clearly aren't in solidarity with your unrealistic and cowardly biafra agenda. don't be a puffer fish

Igbo, South-east, Biafra are three different things.

There are Igbos in South-East who do not support Biafra
There are Igbos outside the South-East
There are Biafra Supporters who are not Igbo
There are Biafra Supporters outside the south-east.

victorvezx:
So u are now admitting that the south east is useless Economically. This is the first day an Ipob youth said the truth. No wonder millions of ur people run to Port-harcourt, Lagos, Kano, Abuja, even Borno etc.

apart from lagos PH Abuja, Kano, how many economically viable states are there?

bakynes:
These names are Yoruba names and not Benin.

Yorubas and Benin have language links as you would expect from border tribes. A lot of Edos bear Yoruba names and there are words with similar meanings in both languages.

for instance - Eletu Odibo - the title of the King maker in Lagos - is a benin word.


Also, hope you realise that the Obas of Lagos up till Oba Akintoye were buried in Benin

bakynes:
These names are Yoruba names and not Benin.

Just go read about the history.

Lagos is inhabited by the aworis although most of the island was uninhabited and was a war camp.

However, the bloodline of the Obas are binis.

bakynes:
So are Oba Akintoye and Dosunmu Benin men or Yoruba men?

Benin Men na

House of Ologun Kutere (an Oba Ado Descendant)

bakynes:
Oba Ado was in fact the first Oba of Lagos placed there by the Oba of Benin and he paid tribute and taxes to the Benin Empire. What I am just trying to say is that the Oba of Lagos is occupied by an Awori King and not by a Benin person. Aworis migrated from Ife to that farm settlement named Eko by the Oba of Benin.

Oba Ado is a son of Ashipa (the Benin Warrior). All Obas of Lagos trace lineage from Ashipa

Ihateafonja:
I'm going to say this once and once only.
Southerners(SW SS SE) let's discard our ethnic differences and come together to stop this menace.
As our State Governments cant do nada, We are left to our fate. A communique should be sent across each southern communities to mobilise and defend their communities.
As 1 does not see this ending soon.

"southerners should come together" - says a man called "ihateafonja"

abdulg:
I think is not true to say lecturers uses outdated materials.

true. peeps need to understand that Computer Science is not IT.

Computer science is the study of theories underlying computations and the practical/engineering application of those theories.

so your structured programming, Object oriented programming, data structures, Graph theory, Numerical mathematics courses are very valid.

"Graphics" in the context of a computer science curriculum for instance, involves lots of Co-ordinate geometry, Linear Algebra etc.

Jacksparr0w127:
And I said dick doesn't have to be in P. Could be other form of penetration

ow of course.

Oral, anal etc. as far as it is penetration.

My words were "intercourse/penetration"

A lot of peeps consider it stupid to ask for for verbal consent after flirting or kissing a lady.

some ladies will say you are spoiling the mood.

[quote author=Jacksparr0w127 post=55711211][/quote]your screenshot agrees with my definition you quoted - I am confused here.

i said rape requires some form of intercourse or penetration and is only one of the many types of sexual assault.

touching a lady's breast without her consent is sexual assault but not rape.

amysucre:
. A man can't be raped, he can only be indecently assaulted, take note.

A woman can rape a man if she does not obtain consent from him before he penetrates her.

if you think the above statement is dumb, see below three scenarios:

(1) the man is drunk and she takes advantage of it - you can get a hardon while drunk
(2) the man is sleeping - you can get a hard on while unconscious or semi-conscious
(3) she forces him to penetrate her
