Let me believe this is fake news.

I won’t believe this kind of practice can exist in this era. How can a government be so senseless like this?

it's not a lie, I watched the video. Kwankwanso actually said that the monument was demolished because it had a cross symbol.
And because Kano is a Muslim state, it was intolerable

Your parents living together till death isn’t a yardstick for good marriage

The reason for divorce and bad marriages of today na material things

You used your C300 Benz of 12million to snatch a hustling guys babe and tomorrow you’ll expect her to be faithful when a man who divers 2022 Lexus LX600 of 80 million

Another reason is too much of sexual expectations in marriages

Man would dump his organic wife at the sight of a big ass BBL lady

Woman will dump her organic man looking for a billionaire with 6 packs that has cucumber penis that can last 80hrs

The other day I overheard a woman defending her promiscuous act shouting on top of her voice that she cheated because her husband doesn’t give her head

I shock. Bcuz since them born me till today I never hear my mom telling my dad to give him head

Who invented this head giving sef

You can’t even use the word head in public again unless you have to be specific like head of charger head of fish head of family

on that head own, it is true o. I innocently asked my colleague while pointing at his charger that he should give me the head, because I already had my USB cord.
The spoilt thing just asked me when?.

I didn't understand initially, I kept on saying abeg give me the head, until my other r colleagues present burst out laughing.

I only understood later.
But trust me, I blasted him so bad. I was like why do we sexualise every thing?
He apologized because he knew I don't take nonsense, and really I made him know I was embarrassed.
So since then, even if I want to order for food, I shout give me "fish head" or "goat head" and not "head"

OlawaleBammie:
The person u quoted is mæd, he's not yoruba..

So what about the easterners slurring against the yorubas?? He's maæd


And u?? U re equally......

I really pity your situation.
Crucify him and myself all you like, but that small voice inside of you is telling you the truth that you are wrong and we are right to talk against tribalism.
It is not about you being a Yoruba or me being an igala, but it is about tribalism.

Ask your self,what has tribalism or your hatred for another tribe done for you?.
But if it gives you peace and harmony to insult people who are against tribalism, then kudos.
If you read my write up, you will see where I indicated that my friends are 75% Yorubas and we love ourselves and assist ourselves irrespective of tribe or religion. I guess you will call them mad too, because they are not tribalistic.

That said I refrain from mentioning people that don't learn or feel they they know it all

I have taken note if your moniker, I will never ever respond to you, and please do well not to quote or make reference to me.

You call your brother mad because he doesn't want to hate any tribe like you do, and you equally want to call me mad.
You should have concluded it.
It doesn't give me skin pain.
That said enjoy your day.
I wish you well

WhisperedNoise:
Chief,
Thank you for your kind words. I've been on this forum for about ten years. I had a former account which I stopped using because of some reasons. I can say that Nairaland has never had tribalism and bigotry this bad. It is really embarassing.

I am a Yoruba man. I have lived and been to many places in Nigeria. Everybody is my brother and sister. Everybody is my friend. I have never seen Seun so uninterested in the hate that is spewed here against the easterners on a daily basis. I made a candid statement condemning tribalism and some of my fellow Yoruba men (cowards) have been calling me a bas.tard. I weep for their future. Nonentities who have benefitted nothing from their tribalism and bigotry.

May God help us. One love, brother.

I am a sister actually .
Prosperity will judge you and those of us crying against tribalism well.

Thanks in advance

Morphinne:
This is the problem with Nigerians Biafrans, instead of treating a disease and preventing its recurrence, you would rather choose to treat just the symptom. Why haven’t you taken your time and ask yourself why the people who had accommodated you for 40 years suddenly become cold overnight? Have you asked yourself what preceded the tribalistic response of the Yorubas towards the ibos during and after the electioneering period?
Who started it and why are the Yorubas who are known for being helplessly nice and accommodating suddenly acting unfriendly? (After 40 years in your own case)
Perhaps, these loving people wouldn’t have turned cold and tribalistic if your people didn’t call their ancestral land a no man’s land. They wouldn’t have gone aggressive if your ppl didn’t plot to overthrow and rubbish their traditional institutions. Would the ibos have remained calm and friendly towards the Yorubas living in Onitsha if the Yorubas were saying that Onitsha had no indigenous identity; that Onitsha belonged to nobody?
Why not talk sense into your people’s empty heads first before blaming the victims (Yorubas) of overreacting ?
Last time I checked, it’s not only ibos that are residing in Lagos and the entire south west but why always them? Na only una waka come? This victim game script is becoming annoying, please come off it my friend.

Please next time if what I commented sounds like a victim card or script to you, waka pass okay.
Just move on....
Don't quote me if it doesn't make sense to you.
I quoted the person I am on the same page with.
I saw your comments but because we are obviously not like minds in any way, I Waka pass your comment.

So please respect my opinion, it's mine.
And let me respect yours.
Stay on your lane and bask in your know it all.
Don't bother to respond to me because this is the first and last time I will ever make a comment towards you.
That said may God bless Nigerians and every tribe in Nigerian Incase you missed that part in my comment

WhisperedNoise:
Chief,
I'm sorry to say o, but you are a wicked and dark fellow. Actually, I'm not sorry. It's just the truth. Anybody who reads your constant attack against the easterners will agree.

Your constant tribalism and bigotry on this forum is disgusting. We all saw it during the elections, we are seeing it now. People like you won't hesitate to kill an igbo person if war breaks out.

Before you reply with nonsense, I am a bona-fide yoruba man. So don't even try to spin this off and spark a tribal debate.

Do you look in the mirror and feel pity for yourself? You should. You make it seem like igbos are the only problem of Nigeria. Newsflash - we ALL have a part to play.

See, I've been labeled "omo ale" by many Yorubas because I refuse to be tribalistic. If we are being honest, yorubas aren't perfect either. The Lagos everyone hoists as the home of excellence...that same Lagos is overrun with touts and area boys and omo oniles who won't think twice before stealing from you, defrauding you or even physical assault. That's your fellow Yoruba person o.

There are bad people in every tribe. There are good people too. Judging an entire tribe because of a few bad eggs is a very myopic thing to do.

You need to repent, bro. For posterity's sake.

May God Almighty bless you and your generation yet unborn for this comment. I have been looking for someone like you on nairaland, but I just found you.
1 out of so many "wicked" nairalanders
This has been my plea, this has been my cry.
Tribalism is being propagated by people that should know better, especially that young man you quoted.
I feel so ashamed whenever I read his comment.
I am like "doesn't he look at his mirror", all the bile for how much and for what dirty politician?.
Because that is what they are; dirty, selfish politicians

I feel so hurt because I was born and raised in Lagos. 75% of my friends are Yorubas. We grew up not knowing the difference in our tribes or religion. Our parents became friends because of us.

40 years after, we are still friends.
We support ourselves.
We love ourselves.
We have a strong association.
I love Amala, and other Yoruba meals.
They love Igbo foods, and some of them ask us igbos to teach their Yoruba wives how to prepare our meals.
We travel from afar to attend our occasions.
I am Igbo, but I love my friends and they love me too.
We support each other, even those outside Nigeria do same.

So it was this elections that made some of us realize that we aren't from the same tribes after all.
Some of my Yoruba friends wanted to misbehave, but the love we had for each other brought us back again.

In my school group, every Nigerian tribe is represented and we are moving on and standing on the strength of our diversity.

I have been insulted here and called many names, but I still stand by the fact that I hate tribalism.
In Abujà here where I reside presently, my best friends are from kaduna, Gombe and I have a Fulani woman that I am supporting to pay her daughters school fees, even though say I dey manage o. I no get o, but just because the little girl said she doesn't want to marry, but wants to go to school, I plunged in to assist because they are poor.

The point I am trying to make is that we all are one, irrespective of tribe or religion. I find it easy to relate with everyone. I am not particular about tribe.
Maybe I am different, I don't know.


Because of your comments, you are my brother.
God bless you again, and May God bless EVERY tribe and PEOPLE in Nigeria

Do you now see that they completely preside over you and all your affairs?

With the above, I put it to you church rat that you are deeply jealous and aggrieved. They are far greater than your miserable self. They have been ruling you for ages. They absolute dominate your miserable life.

slowpoke.

nwannem biko! This vawulence is catastrophic.

Coming from a man whose caze of looters is still in court, who feigns bear death illnesses whenever his date in court comes close.
Inasmuch as Emefiele stepped on toes and did some certain things that affected us a people, we should not forget he had a principal who was the commander in chief.

Further more, the likes of Fani ksyode should shut up when issues like this are discussed. He would lick ass and do worst if he had Emefiele's position

Fineman2:
My name is Dora.

I am 35 years old and everybody keeps reminding me that age is no longer on my side.

My fiance and I have been dating for more than one year and we are getting married soon.

My fiance is 40 years old and he has never been married.

The relationship was really good when we started but now that our wedding is in a few weeks time, he has shown how controlling he can be.

From the choice of the wedding dress, to the bridesmaids selection, to the colour of the day, he wants to be in charge.

He also wants his mum to buy the cloth for our engagement as well as buy our wedding ring.

He does whatever his family says without seeking my opinion and it almost seems as if I am not the one getting married.

I told my parents about how this makes me feel and they just asked me to endure because I am getting older but I really fear for what is going to happen after the wedding.

Are these not red flags I should run from?

I am confused, please advise me.

serious red flag.
You never grind beans, moi moi don dey smell.

Use your tongue count your teeth.
Better a failed courtship than a failed marriage especially if there is no understanding and compromise as it stands at this period of courtship

Is he still talking?.

Sermwell:
When Nigerians keep electing stupid leaders, people like us will keep cashing out!!

I have already called my managers to sell at #550 per litre. Whoever cannot afford it should go and sleep!

When I said thiefnubuu's government will be a useless one some hopeless agbado nitwits thought I was joking.

I cashed out during Buhari's useless government, and now it's time to cash out under this corrupt government!

You guys should keep electing them for us! Na una go suffer am

bros abeg, I am humble o. Na beg I dey beg help me. Una when God do am, make una remember people like me

Other panics that Nigerians panicked, what did you people do about it, or what do you intend to do about this one?.
If it is only your usual story for the gods, make una allow us panic in peace abeg

hammerT:
ONE COUNTRY THAT I SEE AS ENEMY OF NIGERIA IS GHANA.


I HAVE QUIETLY WATCHED THEM VERY CAREFUL, THEY DELIGHT WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WRONG IN NIGERIA.



I DOUBT THEY WANT NIGERIA TO HAVE A GOOD LEADERTHAT WILL MOVE THIS COUNTRY FORWARD.



BEWARE OF GHANIANS.

i believe you.
And that is why Ghanaian president was saying that Buhari will be missed. Can you imagine such wicked thought coming from a man whose country is better than ours, and who knows for sure that he is even a better president than the Buhari?

Baba, people will be the hearers and not the doers of this sermon o.

If I get opportunity to jaapa...
Alright until then....

[quote author=thesicilian post=123414313]Thank you
While others are looking for who to blame for their mostly personal failures[/quote ] just like a thousand and one farmers, transporters, etc were either displaced, killed, maimed or kidnapped. People doing their legitimate businesses and not even sending government's aid or anything.
A lot of them at least the surviving ones are still complaining.
Should that be attributed to personal failures?.
I seriously advocate that we should search our consciences at times.

He was the most calm of all the guys.
Very focused, not loud, humble, friendly and reserved.
I remember then we used to wonder what he was doing in that house with a bunch of " noisy housemates". I remember when he was expelled from the house, some people heaved a sigh of relief because they felt he was just too nice to fit in.

Always sleeping and avoiding trouble
I really liked him.
May his soul rest in perfect peace..
He was truly a gentleman

justdream:
Sense nogo kee U. She really manipulated Nigerians nobe small. Na she be the cabal gan gan.

see how her true colors came out with the issue of that young man that called ger out that she was feeding fat on Nigerians resources, simply because she knew they had months to leave office.
That woman is a pretender and posterity will not judge her and her husband well

Madam abeg go sit down, una go use self privileges kill Nigerians?
What else do you want after 8 years of solid non stop enjoyment, cruising and amassing wealth for generation yet unborn?

The ones you people have taken already secretly is definitely bigger than what you are asking of to be in the public domain.

I never trusted all this woman's akara frying moves during the 2014 campaign period, and all those her shouts of cabals in aso rock and her faceoff with the people there was just a way to manipulate gullible Nigerians mindset about her.

Go rest abeg

Taylor90:
The cocaine sniffing maggot will have strength to go for a concert but can’t and has never granted a single interview


43 artistes performed on a concert with less than 4k people in attendance

Imagine say na Peter Obi dey do that concert for Lagos

You’ll see genuine love and stampede with musicians who are willing to perform for free

You can’t buy love dear

What a Parkinson disease infused president

But some of them, you know the "them" said the crowd that attended the show was massive, and on other news, they said it wasn't so massive because it was not open for the general public, but to the invited.

Which one we go believe now

The way Nigerians are angry with this man especially with the aftermath of the elections and the new currency issues, if security aides were not going to be attached to him, people would be rushing this man serious slap and beatings o.

I know someone who said he hates Buhari more than satan

Resign na and stop chasing clouts.

We can't even cope with the pressure of you still remaining on that seat

ipobarecriminals:
Elupee are still searching for their manhood wen dey should start campaign for 2027. I doubt Papa Oyedepo will do closed door meeting with Obeer of HERO without journalist there

Na waooo!!. All these on a thread that concerns Buhari?

YoungLionken:
This guy is seriously under a spell !!!

He is not under a spell.
He is the SPELL

And their supporters that are so improverished will Waka pass this thread.
The reason for the massive rigging was for their party members to cover their tracks.

But for the sake of the suffering masses that truly want a change and good governance, a messiah will come through soon.
If you see nothing wrong in this massive looting going on and you quote me on it, your entire generation will never be able to boast of #1000 naira

iwaeda:
Everyone under Buhari is as corrupt as darkness.

you are offending darkness with this your comment o.
Even darkness will run away from these criminals.
Darkness is a saint where these people are.

I can imagine the amount of blood of Jesus the devil screams because of Nigeria and Nigerians

chidiokay:
Anacondas can be restrained and contained but you see Zombedient is worst than of them all,
We want sane Opposition, we want objective and mature opposition not these .....

so APC even as an opposition then and now the government in power is sane abi?.

If that is your own idea of sanity, please enjoy yourself.
I wish you all the best with your anaconda that you have tamed in your bedroom

iReddington:
Lol, after Alex Otti don carry Julius Berger M.D tour the state. O lu le pi

sincerely, is this situation something to be jubilate for?.

Doesn't it bother you that our democracy is being threatened more and more each day?
Will you rather prefer a 1 party state without opposition just because of tribal and religious sentiments

I give up on Nigeria, if some of you truly have this mindset.

This little snake that we are using as per, will turn to Anaconda someday and we know what Anacondas do

SonofGod231:
Probably the most inspirational post of all time...You made the most out of the time you share with your kid, that's really nice.

yes I always do with all four of them.

And thanks , I appreciate your commendation.

SonofGod231:
Whoa!!!

The whoa!! Na for .... ?

yellowman2225:
Could you please tell us what you did in this case? I have a son like that that I introduced to music and he's also doing well in music too while his education still didn't pick up again as it was before

Okay, so I took my son out one day, we were in the car and I told him if I could take him to the eatery, he said yes.

Okay so when we got there, he ordered for what he wanted. Just meatpie and a drink. We sat down to eat it.
I asked him what he wanted to be in future, he said he wanted to be an aeronautical engineer and architect.( It was not a surprise because we all knew, I just wanted him to reiterate it).
So I brought out a form I had typed at the business center with their school logo.
I told him that unfortunately he was going to repeat his class, because he wasn't doing well and all his classmates including his best friends were all going to move on to the next class.

I told him, I had already signed for his repeat, and there and then I could see the shock. He burst into tears and begian to cry.
He pushed his snacks away and told me not to accept and sign it.
I pretended to be helpless.

We got into the car and went back home, snacks forgotten
When we got home, I went into my room to pretend to cry while talking to myself that my son is going to repeat a class.

On Monday the following week, I already made his class teacher and proprietress know of my plan, so I went into their offices with him, gave them the fake form and told them I had signed up for him to repeat.
They began to beg me that he should not repeat that I should not allow him to repeat ( it was all drama). They were like how would your son feel when his friends and classmates are promoted?.

Finally I told them to give him a form to sign that if he doesn't improve, he will repeat.
They gave him a form for which I had earlier dropped off with them without him knowing. He agreed and signed it and wrote his name. The class teacher read it to him and he understood it perfectly.

To cut the long story short, he came first and carted away 5 awards in their school prize giving and graduation day.
And since then, he never looked back.
Psychologically he realized that if he could have done so well,to cart away awards and be acknowledged, he can continue like that all his life and be getting accolades while getting his good grades.

I know my children's emotions and I had to think out of the box to get results and I am happy I did.

But one thing you should know is that most little boys usually get playful st that age.
And again if your son is good In music, you can help him use that same music to improve on his grades.
We can talk more on that lster

Lordofalmajiri:
I understand the Woman's pain, how big girl like this no go fit recite ABCD? But education isn't by force Sha , she can learn a skill in future or join the hookupians .. all join...

A lot of reasons can be attributed to him not learning on time.
Most children have slow learning pace and later pick up and move very fast.

It could even be as a result of the pressure the aunty is giving him at home.

He may be overwhelmed with house chores and have little or no time to rest so as to assimilate.
Fear too, can make him not to ever assimilate.

Poor nutrition
Constant beating and abuse would make him not concentrate.

Beating a child to learn is all shade of wrong and it usually does more harm than good.

Yes, you can subttly scold a child, but not make it a habit of instilling fear in them as it concerns learning.

A careful parent or guardian would try and find out what the problem is, and not just beating the child like that.

My son was a very fast learner in primary school, later on his grades began to drop. I know what I did, because I had to think out of the box, and he picked up again and began to do much better than before.
I didn't have to beat him.

Once that head or brain locks up, if you like use cutlass and open the head and shove the books inside, the books will still fall off.
Hope you get my point on this one?
