LiteratureRe: My Honest Observation And Critique Of Americanah By Chimanda Adichie by mpowa(m):
dingbang:
people did club as far back in 1960. What's so new in a random sex? Jeex. What of the girls fela kuti had sex with? U want to tell me now that they were decent? Those girls turned out to be people's mothers/grandmothers who behave so innocent now
Fela's life wasn't normal, you can't use that to judge, you need to know how much his lifestyle was frowned at, it was haywire then and that was 70s not 60s.

Except all the characters she wrote about are all the abnormals of that generation, then her writing is an unrealistic representation of how Nigeria was.There were more responsible marriages and less sugar daddies then than now.

PoliticsRe: Igbos Are Their Own Worst Enemies – Orji Uzor Kalu by mpowa(m): 8:25am On Nov 01, 2016
MXrep:
We are igbos, we are not yorubas, Godfatherism is dead and buried in SE. Like OUK like Peter Obi, you will never control a sitting governor. How does that translate to Igbos being their worst enemies?? Igboland is an egalitarian society, we will not tolerate shortchanging of the masses by a small elite cult because that is the problem with nigeria at the moment. Igboland is not backward, we reject any arrangement of creating an elite enclave while the rest of the region perish in abject poverty
You will not tolerate an elite cult arrangement but your place is still not developed, so what's happening? Okay you prefer one thief to chop is own and pass to another, rather than a single thief chopping from different govt, I guess.

He doesn't have a purpose in life, he should use that persistence to pursue his future and see if his destiny will not open up for the better. Imagine stalking a girl for 6 yes, he definitely doesn't have anything to do with his life.

CrimeRe: Should A Person Who Has Killed Before And Now Repented Be Let To Live? by mpowa(m): 6:27pm On Oct 23, 2016
Yes, In church. But if an evidence is found against him at the court, even if na 20yrs ago he do am, Na Jail o!

Therefore it's easier for witches/wizards or people with spiritual powers who repented to be left of the hook, because no physical evidence against them, but If any evidence can be found to prosecute a person, it doesn't matter if he repent a thousand times.

She's now speaking against Because her tribes people are being killed....

let's stop this behavior and stand for the truth...we need writers like her and Soyinka to preach to Nigerians to see the light... what has Adichie done to effect moral and social development? apart from loaning us extremism of feminist ideas?

what the Fulani' herdsmen are doing is so wrong... but what did you expect when you supported a fanatic?
No, your way of reasoning is the reason why Nigeria will never moved forward. If Gej failed woefully should she praise him because she's Igbo? Is it wrong to support Pmb if you think he might make things better? Now that things aren't getting better partly because of Pmb's policies, is it wrong to change her stand? The problem of this country are the WAILERS without reasons, and the ZOMBIES without reasons.

Do I look like i give a flying fuvk if you drop or hold this discussion. Abeg park well!

My friend you lack knowledge. At the same point in history did europeans have all the cure for every sickness and diseases? If no, why do you feel the need to subject such rubbish to africans. Errmm "colonial syndrome " Also, kindly point out where I called white black.. Also, at that point in time were europeans not religiously prosecuting fellow europeans for spiritual things. But here you are running your mouth like such acts were peculiar to just africans.

I am stating facts here not beliefs you dumb azz.. And yes I have knowledge beyond the four walls of Yabatech and family history. I traveled to places that were colonized. Read actual logs of colonial and missionary propaganda. And the common denominator is the same. The education given to the natives was for the benefit of the Empire. The infrastructure built was for exploiting natural resources. With that education you now beliefs black is bad while white is good.

In regards to Nigerian backwardness. I say to you. Are you ignorant of your political history.? Geopolitics.

I say it again. Go study pre colonial africa. They welcomed secular education but rebuked colonial diety. Have you asked yourself why the missionaries were responsible for education..? This is the knowledge you lack bro..
Your INSULTS shows how low your intelligence is, I don't discuss with people like you since you can't hold a worthwhile discussion without resorting all kinds of insults, it's a way of bullying, to make the other party seem lower than you, you'll need to desist from it for your own good. whatever your points are, I'm not interested anymore, you're right, okay? You should be happy now.

What else.....! You promote ignorance with impunity in the name of colonial acceptance. So we should be thankful that they imposed their diety and culture through deceit, blackmail, theft and murder.

And here you are regurgitating colonial and missionary propaganda in 2016.

Guy go study your history pre colonial invasion. You would know that this education you are greatful about was not meant for your benefit but for your exploitation. Maybe then you can worship your god with knowledge instead of ignorance.
Ogbeni, Make we hear word! what knowledge are you talking about? I didn't go to school or what? what's in our so called rich history that i didn't know that you want to tell me? If I want to be quiet it's because I've seen how you're taking the argument and I've perceived your mindset and I don't see a point arguing because we'll keep on arguing and it'll never end. What Ignorance are you talking about? Do you have extra knowledge than what you're taught in school or the ones your grandparents told you? what civilization does Africa have compared to what colonialism brought? I'm not saying colonialism is right, but stop calling black, white just to prove a point.

Even till date we are still very backward in the way we do things, Most things the colonial masters have done are still better than the ones we make today. I did my OND from Yabatech and structures that have been built over 80 to 100 years ago will still beat that of most of the schools they building till date. Africans change nothing, we don't innovate, we don't improve, After civilization we're still largely backward, now you want to be telling me there was a kind of African civilization in those days when they rarely know anything, when simple mosquito kill people, when SS genotype was an Ogbanje or Abiku spirit, where Twins are killed because they're supposedly evil kids. Believe whatever you want, I don't care, but don't think I'm dropping the discussion because I'm accepting your flimsy argument.

Arrant rubbish.....

How far would they've gone? Like I said you are ignorant of the historic happenings before colonization.

Let me school you a bit...

Way before protectorate occured. Secular education was already sought after. Secular schools were taking roots gradually. This is way before colonial invasion and missionaries indoctrination.

So you see, seeking knowledge is different from been educated. Therefore, without the destruction of our civilization it is tantamount to know that in today's world we will still be able to compete.

I implore you to study issues leading up to the implementation of the protectorate. Maybe it will help free your mind from colonial syndrome.
smileyhmm! The "Colonial Syndrome" I know that's all you've been driving at all a long, I'm going to let it slide here!

If your understanding of education is speaking and writing english. Then your mumurity no get part 2

How could they've educated themselves on european culture, language and tradition.? What's wrong with you?
I don't think I have time for this discussion, you understood the point I've raised. Okay they educated themselves in their own way, but how far will they have gone with that crude education today, education that's xterised by many limiting traditional believes. Formal education and civilization came with colonization and everywhere the colonial master dominates, the christian missionaries follows and offers ppl free formal education.

Na wa o, when did Nigerians start all these? People will rather struggle till something kill them than to go commit suicide, and men will rather run away from home than kill themselves because they can't feed family.

Well we don't waste time discussing God rather, we invest our time and knowledge to teach people like you that there is 'LIE' in the middle of 'BELIEF' and we also want you guys to connect the ducts and find it out yourself otherwise Africa as a continent would remain backward.
Foolish talk, it's because of religion that Africa is backward. The places you're considering as forward or progressive society, they don't have religion? How many religion does America have? How many Muslims, Christians, other religions? Don't they even have more religion than Nigeria - You should look for another argument, this one doesn't hold water.

For your information, the foundation of most progressive societies is Christianity, go check America's history, and all you forming atheism and advanced knowledge might still be naked in the bush hunting for antelopes if the christian missionaries did not bring their education.

Banter has come to stay. Corporate organizations all over the world now engage in it one way or the other either on social media or in adverts. It is a way to bond with and get closer to their customers (and generate publicity of course). Go on twitter and Facebook and you'll see huge MNC's engaging in banter and poking a bit of fun. It doesn't really have any negative side effect. Nobody is going to close a bank account over that tweet.
I insist it is unprofessional and I'm a Man United fan...What bonding? Football fans that kill themselves over games or do crazy things just because they lost a game, what does it take them to close an account? Is access bank the only bank? The better way to leverage this kind of thing is to console the Chelsea fans, not mock them.

This is unprofessional, the guys these cooperate organizations are employing to manage their social media these days needs a lot of learning to do. Nothing wrong with interacting with clients on current issues but They should be sensitive to clients/prospects feeling and ensure nobody's affected negatively, it's part of customer care.

This theist tire me sef. Anytime I see a post like this about an atheist turning to a theist or a post about the undeniable existence of God. All they point to is the fact that the universe is too complex to not be just random chance. They point to DNA sequencing and various other feats of nature, but as i will continue to argue over and over again, this doesn't prove that your God exist, it only enhances the possibility of a creator. Creator and God are not the same. You can just point to the universe and claim your God did it, since anyone can you use that line. From the Egyptians to the Greeks and Mayans.
Yes, They are giving their facts, pls can you give yours? Since Seun and you people have decide to cure Godly people of their sufferings, You need to start coming out with your facts - All the evidence about God are out there, we've said them over an over, Christians have the Bible that document their believes, Muslims also have their book - You people come up with your facts, Or you want people to just follow you because you say things like being More INTELLIGENT, following proven SCIENCE theories - Bring out those theories that form the basis of your believes, perhaps you can win some people to your side, because it's not easy to win anyone over, who'd followed God, studied the bible, and sees how everything fits the story.

Don't take the easy way of just criticizing religious people, come up with your own explanation of why we're here, what's the purpose of life, what is important in life, what happens when we die, We don't even want to preach anymore, we want you to preach to us now!

Why should they not cry?

Do you pray that you work-hard all day and night and others eat the fruit of your labor?

The kid will obviously not know the implication of what he is doing ... but how about all those BIG thieves who've made millions from other people's intellectual property, while the producers are still struggling... Isn't that one of the reasons there's so much low quality Nolly wood productions, because you know that these people will not allow you to enjoy your labor?

The point is that Nigerians are noise makers and have a culture of oppression, any small advantage a person have against others, he wants them to notice the difference. Then we value materialism so much that we forget the definition of wealth, we think it is by what we can show people that we have. Looking at Zucherberg, you will know Wealth is about the value that you add, how much can you add to other people's lives? how much impact can you make?

I don't think anything is wrong with someone putting on suite or native, dressing impeccably is great, but what's the mindset behind it? Is it to look good or dressing extravagantly to show - When GSM first came, some people where putting it on their waist or belt - we don't know how to add value to our world, na so so to they consume and showoff with what some other kids are doing somewhere else we sabi. And then a Millionaire in naira never goes to anywhere without some announcements - Bogus cars, Siren, Security, plenty wives, Money spraying machine etc etc.
