Lovely

hmmm

Opoki:
Are you the guy behind @MyGanjaMind on IG?

Nope Lol.. Not me.

Faxole:
What if she isn't pulling his legs and she's actually serious about everything she wrote?

Look I'm not saying the screenshots are genuine. It could be that they were fabricated. But let's pretend that they are genuine, given that it's a valid probability. Are you saying a girl can't send such kind of messages to a guy?

To be honest I'm really baffled by comments like yours. It's like society has so conditioned everyone to think that women don't like sex and men are the only ones that like sex, and the only reason why a girl would have sex with a guy is if she received something material or monetary in return. This is certainly not true. First, women really like sex, and not only do they like sex, they enjoy it better than men. Secondly, women tend to be more interested in having sex with attractive men who seem to not be interested in them because it makes them question their femininity and triggers lots of insecurities that they try to quell. It also makes them believe these men to be of high value, especially in the sexual market, since if he showed a lack of interest in her, he most certainly must have met better women. Women tend to have a magnified sexual attraction towards men they perceive as high value.

Genius.

Our votes can do the magic, rather than violent revolution. People give up easily., but not anymore. Despite the low publicity, a lot of people a getting their voters card. People are hungry and determined. The election is pregnant. Only God knows what the outcome will be. But as for me and my constituency, we must get our PVC's and vote. We'll rather have our votes rigged than not to vote at all. He's not worse than Abacha, but God took care. Let's vote according to our conscience without thinking of the "rigging" that may not happen.

Good one bro, Let us all try to do our best in any way we can, And i hope it works out as Planned.

Even after your revolution, the status quo will still remain, no be today.

Looool. Then waiting for a New set of future human beings with an entirely Different type of mindset to Re-populate Nigeria is the Only way then.

Ibegtodiffer:
You seem to have good grasp of the dynamics of Nigeria politics. (On a lighter note)., you contesting will not be a bad idea...Lol
But seriously, with the body language we're seeing, people may end up voting for persons rather than party.
Your second sentence will go a long way, but violence may erupt if rigging prevails. Honestly if Baba's first tenure is what we are seeing, then a second (if he emerges, not win) will be massively regretted..that's because he of course would have nothing at stake. I CONTINUE TO WONDER WHY THESE OLD MEN ARE HELD BENT ON FORMING A FUTURE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE A PART OF, WHILE POSITIONING THEIR CHILDREN FOR LIFE OUTSIDE OF IT. ITS A PITY.

It is Really such a pity bro, it's almost like we are not even deemed Human enough to matter to them. Very very sad. But then again that brings me to the part about violence erupting..I have Always maintained that A violent Revolution by the citizens is the only way out and i still maintain that view till Today. But ask yourself are Nigerians really up to the task?? This is where we have always failed, this is d area people like fela have mostly despised us in, Which is that Nigerians will Tolerate Anything. That is what separates us from the West. Once the militants and other armed Groups are settled, Will anyone be willing and rise up to the Security forces? Lol. " i no wan die, i no wan go, papa dey for house, mama dey for house, i wan build house, i wan enjoy, i no wan go" Lol(quoting fela). To me the only way out Other than a Violent Revolution, is to wait for these Heavyweights to die off,(They are old enough, and they will all die eventually) And hopefully someday in the Near future, we Shall have Updated and Sound minded people occupying Government positions and Not Archaic, Ancient and extremely Selfish minded Old Men. Its Really Sad Bro, Currently as it is, its Really Really Sad.

I see people who say this, as being very insincere.

You don't like the way the country is being run, yet you claim buhari will win. Are you going to vote for him?

Or you don't really want him out?

I'm surprised.

I didn't vote buhari, and I'm not going to vote him or his party in 2019.

Also, majority of my colleagues who voted him and influenced others to vote for him, have vowed not to vote for him, in 2019.

My boss, has started working on his PVC transfer. He's not voting buhari..... So how is he going to win.


People are not ready to rig for him. Not even the top politicians in APC

Let's be sincere jare... Buhari will not run. He's just monitoring the trend.... Which Magic is he going to do to change the tide.


It's over!!!!!

My good brother your statement shows that you obviously do not know how the Nigerian political system works. How can you say that even top politicians in APC will not support buhari? Sorry to say but that idea is extremely lame to be honest, And it easily gives away the fact that you are a novice in Nigerian politics. Nigerian politics is simply a game of self-interest, Nothing more. The Top politicians in power do not care about the plight of the average Nigerian citizen as it doesn't affect them. All they care about is returning power and the party gives them the platform to do so. The party is the ultimate decider, coupled with the fact that Majority of the Country are illiterates(No offense) means who ever the party presents after the primaries to contest will be supported wholeheartedly by the party! The only way out is if buhari loses the APC primaries, This is honestly the only way he can be ruled out. But as long as APC is planning to field a northerner as a candidate, buhari Will definitely win the primary and there is nothing anybody can do about it. I personally don't want him to win, But then i know Apc will sweep the country's votes through bribery and rigging and believe me, they will be victorious. Its sad but its just the Hard Truth. Let us be honest with ourselves for once, this is Nigeria!!! Me too I did not vote for anybody and I don't intend to vote until I see that my vote can actually make a change but then I do not plan to be sentimental Either. I only state facts and the fact is that Nigeria is not the USA. With the way the Nigerian political system works, buhari will be re-elected come next year. Watch this space and Mark this date. We will eventually come back to this in the Future. Till then, lets all watch how it plays out.

zendy:
Wether APC or PDP wins, nothing will change. Nothing has changed in more than 60 years Nigerians have been voting, except change for the worse

Sad TRUTH.

Don't conclude my brother. Up north, those who worked for Buhari's emergence were betrayed. Same in South West and North Central. The master rigging plan options for him would either be
1. the use of security agencies, 90% of whom are either from his constituency and/or from his religion
2. Allow violence to dominate the areas he's likely to lose, so that the elections are invalidated for a later-day rerun i.e after he's been declared winner
3. Send non- or poorly- functional card readers to areas he's not sure of votes
4. OR a combination of the 3 above
But if he choose to be fairly sincere or care-free like Jonathan, Baba will NOT win.
a. In North Central alone, he has lost Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Kogi!
b. Those that really worked hard for him in places like Nasarawa, Niger and Abuja are very upset about how they were sidelined. Same case, up north. This can however, be negotiated.
c. Tinubu at the moment is dining with Baba using a long spoon.
d. With the Fulani herdsmen saga & arrest of Babachir, Adamawa is not guaranteed!
I could go on and on. But for free? No.
MY VERDICT! ELECTION WOULD BE INCONCLUSIVE. #myonekobo

Very good Assessment. Nevertheless i don't see buhari being sincere or Care free like Jonathan as you said.. because Buhari and Sincerity are Not fit to be in the same sentence. Next year's election will be rigged just as it has always been rigged, since the Conception of this Country. The Highest Bidder, Win
s. And also you do know that party also counts right? all these states you mentioned are obviously going to have people they support at the primaries of the election But at the end of the day, party interest is still going to come first which means if buhari eventually emerges as the winner of the primaries (Which we all know he will), every member of the party in order to still remain in government and retain their positions will have no choice than to support the party and its candidate which we all know who. When the time for elections come that is when you would begin to see the real colour of politicians. Forget about all this online Propaganda we see here all the time. When time for elections come at the end of the day, support for the party the party coupled with the fact that majority of Nigerians are easy to control and buy off will Ultimately be what counts. And we know that the party is been controlled by the same elites who don't care about whatever is going on in Nigeria, But only about Retaining Power So there you have it.

beejaay:
Was all this hype?was he not defeated in 2007,2011,2003?what made him won was the tiredness of gej govt and the tinubu dimension plus the newpdp...without newpdp there was no way PMB would have won...he has always won kano,Kaduna and Katsina vote in the past and still he lost overall....with the current happening that cultlike following is not possible again with the current happening all over,he will lose the middlebelt states... The only way for Buhari to win is if he rigged the election...my prayer is that he wins so that we can all suffer for another 4yrs together and maybe then we will all get sense

Well personally, i hope he looses But look at the current political landscape of the country, I can Firmly tell you that Nobody stands any chance of defeating buhari if he decides to Re contest Next year. 2003, 2007, 2011 that you made reference to were a different time with a different political landscape at those times, Which party did he contest under in those years? Was he the Current president also then? were the parties he contested under b4 apc, at any time the Number 1 party in Nigeria? Like i said i personally want him to Loose but i can't Neglect the facts and the facts are that Buhari, As things stand, Can NOT Loose the 2019 Presidential election in Nigeria. Simple as that.

SUNDICOS:
MrMystrO, na you be this?

Lol no be me o

chai

Amazing. Michael was a King back then and still Remains The king to me. RIP M.J.

As much as i know No one can Defeat buhari come next year, It will do no harm in trying, as that could even help create another alternative for Nigerians in years to come, and also put politicians who fail to perform on their toes.

Lol

Of course, A dumb populace is Good for Politicians! Nice one Okorocha. You're indeed a Heartless Politician.

BULL SH!T

martineverest:
a song was banned by NBC and nairaland chose to indirectly play d video/song...if they ban nairaland,ppl will start shouting islamisation

Bro, NBC stated it quite clearly that its Role is to control what is being broadcast on "Radio and Television" ONLY. The song was Not banned from Release as the NBC has No right whatsoever to do that And as such they cannot stop people who want to still listen to the song to do so. The internet on the other hand makes it easier for people to access the song As it Cannot also be Banned Form the internet. Nevertheless personally, i can't waste my time to listen such Garbage Music but i just Had to correct your misconception about The NBC ban and Nairaland being at risk. Be Guided bro.

barrydee:
I like your views on this Great Heavenly Plant. The problem is that Africans seldom read and do research but are quick to pass judgement hence the ignorance being displayed everywhere.

Thank you Bro. Popular beliefs have always been the problem with most Nigerians as people would Rather Rely on public opinion Rather that Factual Research thereby damaging their Ability to offer a reasonable and unbiased contribution to Issues like this. But hopefully as time goes on, and with the advent of the internet which makes factual information only a finger tip away, People will start moving away from Completely Unproven Popular beliefs to Real facts when Sensitive issues like this are Raised. Have a lovely day.

Interesting...

Opoki:
True

Yep. If you're smart, You'll see its a Win Win for everybody.
1. We get better control of the drug, as this will send the illegal dealers out of market and ensure only acceptable Products are Licensed.
2. We Reduce the number of Innocent people going to jail
3. We generate more money for the country from Tax revenue.
At the End of the day, We make the society a better and happier place for everyone. Case closed.

Marijuana use is not adviced for people with certain hallucinatory mental illnesses because it could exaggerate the symptoms. Though it has been known to help with some other mental illnesses. Also, many weed dealers in naija lace their stuff with synthetic substances. That's what makes some of them run mad. If you grow it in your backyard and pluck to use yourself, I think it's safe.

Very True. That Is Why with the Legalization Process, Marijuana Production can then be controlled, Production companies would have to register with government health agencies like NAFDAC So production can be monitored as its done in the US and also make sure they Only sell The Right Uncompromised kind of Herb Thereby Making it much Safer for Everyone to Use. Thanks for your input.

My room mate back then in school had mental problem because of the use of weed. The Doctor told us that the weed he used triggered it. I should have used the word trigger instead of cause, in the main text I said weed induced psycho-mental problems. And I am sure if legalised the rate of madness that weed would trigger in this country would be unbearable.

Well good you used the term Induced instead of Caused. On the other hand, it has been Proven that 99.5 percent of Recreational users NEVER experience mental illness due to its usage and so that means the 0.5 percent who do, are the ones who fall into the genetics category. And so Such people(if they are of the legal age to to consume) should know better to desist from it as it is not Good for their Health. So you can see there is No mass Madness threat that would be triggered from legalizing weed so calm your fears down. If this was the case, The US wouldn't even dare legalize something that will drive all its citizens mad, I'm sure you know a lot of research has gone into this Marijuana issue before it was declared fit for adult public consumption, So relax Man Lol

Jakumo:
For the 99.5% of recreational weed smokers who have never, and will never experience adverse reactions to marijuana, there is NO clinical evidence that links marijuana consumption with any predisposition to insanity. That said, individuals that may ALREADY be prone to bouts of mental instability, would of course be well advised to stay away from the entire spectrum of psychoactive substances, ranging from Class A narcotics, on down to alcohol and weed, so as to minimize the odds of full blown psychosis occurring while such unstable individuals are under the influence.

The second category of the population that should AVOID weed use until adulthood, are students under the age of 18, whose still-developing adolescent brains, so vital for earning good grades, would be compromised by the use of potent marijuana strains that are now widely available on the legal and illegal market worldwide.

In specific and limited circumstances, weed CAN trigger insanity, among a very tiny minority of users who would be better off quitting ALL drugs forever, in the interest of themselves and of society. For the vast majority of cannabis users, however, the medical benefits of RESPONSIBLE and moderate use far outweigh whatever imaginary health risks continue to be pandered by fear-mongering, cigarette-smoking alcohol drunkards who think they should be free to continue IMPOSING their outdated and scientifically debunked prejudices on societies that have evolved past such archaic thinking.

Awesome piece! And that is why like Every other Recreational substance, its Use Should be Regulated with laws to Make sure it is Not available to Minors Under 18 Years, And those who use it, Only use RESPONSIBLY. Spot On!

myproperty:
My room mate back then in school had mental problem because of weed. And I am sure many people also know that the indiscriminate use of it causes it. If legalise the use of it can never be monitored or control

First of all Are you a doctor, how do you know his mental illness was caused by weed? This is where most Nigerians Fail.. Conclusion without In depth Analysis. It has been Proven that Anyone who Becomes mentally unstable from taking any Hypnotic substance, Even alcohol, Has a medical history of mental instability that probably runs in his or her family and is Purely Genetic. Look it up online. If you drink a bottle of alcohol and you're fine, and someone else consumes half bottle and starts behaving weird, will you blame it on the alcohol or the person? cuz if its the alcohol then all alcohol should be banned. But No, instead you advice such a person to desist from taking alcohol no matter the quantity because it posses a health risk to him in particular. Same goes for marijuana. its purely genetics and has nothing to do with the plant itself. I hope you get it now?

tete7000:
One thing I am certain of is that my child won't be one of the weed smokers. Best of luck to all who buy into this bullcrap, enjoy while your children smoke themselves into oblivion.

First of all Nice signature write up.. really insightful.

Anyway i do think your perspective on marijuana and its uses might be quite Limited if you think smoking is the only use this herb can offer.. Nevertheless on the smoking aspect, Just like cigarettes(Which has been proven to give cancer) and alcohol(which literally is poison when consumed in high quantity) are legal, what marijuana advocates are fighting for is a chance for this Less harmful substance to also be available for people who want to consume it reasonably without having to face the wrath of the law when other more harmful things are legal consumption. This is a democracy and I'm sure you know that No one can force you into any of these activities as we all have the right to choose what is right or wrong for ourselves and our children.. Our only Plea is, STOP Sending people to Jail For mere Possession and Responsible Use of Marijuana. Simple.

We have not even de criminalise it neither have we legalise it yet the rate of weed induced crime is very high, weed induced irresponsible life style is killing and destroying our youth's future, weed induced physco mental problems are so high( infact in Nigeria, it is the highest cause of madness).
How many effective psychiatric hospital do we have. Every family should be ready to have at least 2 colo-mentals in their house.

Weed does NOT cause Madness in Any way! Stop spewing roadside gossip news here, Speak Only with facts or don't speak at all. Go and do Your research on the causes of Madness and Also on the effects of weed and if you find 1 case(just one) of where someones Madness was deemed by doctors to be caused by Weed, Bring it here And i will be the First person to Advocate for weed to be Banned. Otherwise forever hold your peace... And do more learning instead.

Naturally, Our Leaders don't want weed Legalized so as to Keep majority of the Peoples Mind Closed. That's just the sad truth. Have you ever asked yourself why is it only Intelligent folks who talk about Weed Legalization or Even entertain the idea of Weed decriminalization?? Oh well that's because most people have been made to generally believe anything that has to do with weed(A natural Herb anyway..silly right?) is BAD! Well I'm glad More Nigerians are Getting Smarter and hopefully Sometime in the Future.. We will get More groups of smart and Intellectual individuals in the Government who can Get our First Decriminalization Bill Passed. I have the hope that we will Get it Right one day in Nigeria.

OBJ just won my Eternal Respect for this!!! Baba Fela our Dreams are Gradually coming True.
