RomanceRe: How I Cheated On My Girlfriend Wit Her Friend by monex(m): 10:05am On Feb 07, 2012
shouldnt had slept with the other girl cos she is ur gf's friend quite disrespectful. You need to first ask ur self what u want in a relationship, if u truly love ur girl and if she loves u. cos it seems the new girl is filling a void that throws up a lot of questions abt ur current relationship with ur gf

CultureRe: Myth or Reality: Yoruba is closer to the Edos culturally than the East is. by monex(m): 8:14am On Feb 05, 2012
i am angry when dayokanu calls people retarded vut i have to agree with him. how really can you compare southern nigerians by looks. two benin peeps will not look the same: one could look dark (shey yoruba abi?) while the other looks fair (ibo??)

to original post, you are going to ifnd it difficult to ever prove this. Edo has cultural, linguistic and even political ties with Yoruba more than Igbo. even the urhobo, itsekri and isoko peeps will rather align with the west than the east.

also, when we say Edo, do we mean the Edo as a state or the Edos (Binis)? cos some part of Esan are geographically close to Igbo-speaking areas. e.g. Uromi junction in Agbor leads to some Esan towns. My village used to share farmlands with the people from Onicha-Igbo. also those from etsako are more northern than either eastern or western. so Edo (i mean the state)culture is not necessarily homogenous.

regarding the "Yoruba prince became benin oba or benin prince became yoruba Oba" story, The story is not the same from both sides. for the yorubas, the Edos (Binis then) banished their Ogiso and asked Oranmiyan to give them one of his sons to rule (Oba Eweka 1). for the Edos, the heir apparent whom they banished, OmoOduwa, is whom the yorubas call Oduduwa. therefore it was still their son that came back to them. the Edos and esan people practice strict monarchy (first son rules)

RomanceRe: Why Is Life So Unfair To Men? by monex(m): 12:57pm On Feb 03, 2012
there is nothing boyish about creating a thread to reply anoda thread. at least in nairaland terms. most peeps here do it jor. so no need castigating the poster.

as per original post. apart from the part about favoured @ work (which can be counter-productive @ times) and the payment for a sex both enjoyed, most of these notions have already changed. some women work harder than their husbands.

I personally believe women are more disadvantaged. they have to strike a balance between much more than guys. the society expects much more from them.

PoliticsRe: Tafawa Balewa Was An Intelligent Man by monex(m): 6:53pm On Feb 02, 2012
edoyad:
How different is that from professors who believe that "god" was conceived by a virgin 2000 years ago? Or those who believe that the devil lives in a giant black cube in Mecca?
now this is a very liberal and objective view devoid of all dogmas and I know edoyad wld be a christian.

@OP. truth is you don't get to such positions and not be intelligent. even our current President who is called retardeen cannot be dumb. people @ that level suffer from two things: too much info or too little info.

rising through the ranks doesn't take just luck. even @ age 10, i couldn't have believed President Tafawa Balewa was dull/illiterate. sometimes the humble & simple lifestyle of northern intellectuals make southern peeps underrate them.

FamilyRe: Is Marriage Worth It For Guys? by monex(m): 6:24am On Feb 02, 2012
that laziness thing is really getting overflogged by women. A guy is struggling to make ends meet but because of things outside his control, he isnt bringing enough to the table and then you dump/divorce him (your husband). with this alone, I should be agreeing with Moremi and Sagamite.

for me sha, marriage is not by force but i must get married. i also choose to stay with my village mentality about marriage. roll with the sophisticated chicks, marry the rustic but career-oriented chick. and surely get married in naija. cant remember Nigerian laws but it is like 200 naira per month you provide rite grin

and trust me, there are girls who would stay with their husbands till death do us part. i know a couple and these are the girls I would be marrying. they understand the institution of marriage (something the sophisticated, overseas resident girls dont understand but yet want guys to go into). Cheating/ infidelity is not an excuse for divorce. and some of these girls even have the looks to match so guys (Sagamite, Moremi), just come back to naija to do your wedding at least.

PoliticsRe: Oando Denies Benefiting From Oil Subsidy, Claims N4bn Outstanding by monex(m): 6:21am On Jan 31, 2012
Ufeolorun:
Oando as a private firm owes none of you any responsibility save for CSR,what you should do is to hold your disgraceful and utterly clueless politicians to account for their stewardship.
Oando may write their accounts as much as they want,its the responsibility of those who are handing out subsidy cash to have records/schedules of payment made and to whom.

Nigerian businesses do a lot of dodgy and unacceptable stuffs to stay in business cos of the lax regulatory environment but on this subsidy issue,face the Government you all voted for and leave the businesses alone.
Ufeolorun:
Abi o
We are now getting so overwhelmed with shadow-chasing everywhere!,some will blame Hausa-fulani/core north for their problems while ignoring the highly probable connivance of their local leaders,others would shout Boko haram is killing our people and still  they continue to hug this same government that has failed to protect its citizen,at least try to!.

I am personally getting really disappointed in some of the senators from my sphere,they just went into the senate and they vanished save for tepid statements they make at times,( and you hear some people shouting Oduarepublic,its a non -starter with the kind of leadership we have at the moment,seriously).
We just blame this man at Aso rock but our senators are bigger failures.
On point. Businesses are setup to make profit and any business owner including Seun and everyone on nairaland will take advantage of poor/lax regulatory framework. so blame the regulators (Government) not the business. Boko Haram is a different matter however.
PoliticsRe: Sanusi Links Boko Haram To "oil Derivation". by monex(m): 11:33am On Jan 30, 2012
nice post there Alh harem.

Oil contribution to foreign exchange (exports) is near 100% but not contribution to GDP.

contribution to GDP involves more than just exports. so trust me the north has a fair amount of contribution to GDP and i am a proud Niger deltan BTW

PoliticsRe: Ugonna Alison-madueke Says Internet Photos Mischievous by monex(m): 7:41pm On Jan 21, 2012
if not for misplaced priorities and hate for the rich, i dont understand the significance of the boy's extravagant lifestyle to the corruption in the petroleum (esp downstream) sector. Mrs. madueke's alleged corruption has no correlation with the pictures. the boy is defending himself cos of the media smear if not there is really nothing to answer to cos there is no charge.

lets focus on her alleged corruption/embezzlement of funds not the boy's pictures with Dbanj & Neyo
PoliticsRe: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by monex(m): 7:32pm On Jan 21, 2012
my biggest fear for Nigeria is not Jonathan but the hatred of igbos by hausas (esp the muslim hausas)and maybe some yoruba's cos even my parents will not support an ibo girl but are comfortable with a yoruba.

the hausa man is partnering with the yoruba to further alienate the ibo. i dont understand the hatred for ibo. every comment i see on nairaland by an hausa man must have a hidden hate remark for ibo. even the ones who are forming de-tribalised still igbos.

what is going on?
PoliticsRe: Sanusi, El-rufai And Ribadu Compared! by monex(m): 6:40am On Jan 19, 2012
i so agree with jarus there. Ribadu & El-Rufai's integrity and consistency is very questionable. I never liked Sanusi cos i saw him as having a northern agenda. But you can't fault his integrity, intellect and consistency. truth is even with my seeing him as more northern than Nigerian, i would likely still vote for him were he to contest as President. he is not just a technocrat. he likes to understand things and actively seeks knowledge.
