Magnoliaa: Okayyy. If hypocrite is the word, fine. My judgment decided that. And it did. I enjoyed and find the former guys funnier, and the latter doesn't look appealing to me.
Don't do "man in 'feminine' clothes is eww" at someone's hustle and entertainment that gave you laughter. To appeal to you wasn't the objective. Entertainment, causing you laughter et cetera was.
Magnoliaa: Imagine if you find every woman attractive. Why does one look beautiful to you and the other doesn't - when they are both women? That's it.
Magnoliaa: I've watched all and enjoyed the previous ones the most... I still remember the "Act Like A Lady" competition scenes well, lmdo. The newest Survival of Jelili doesn't cut it for me. Same as Alakada Reloaded. Just nonsense.
And that gif of the transgender or is it man in 'feminine' clothes is eww.
You should add hypocrite to the superlatives in your signature, lmso. What were Odunlade Adekola, Muyiwa Ademola and Femi Adebayo dressed up as, in "The Return Of Jelili" movie, hmm, that you so much enjoyed watching, huh? Its OK to make money dressing up as females, wearing 'feminine' clothes, do runaway cat walk like females only to push nose up as a harmless gif of an actor playing the role of a transgender, hmm?
Magnoliaa: Yeah, true this... Not like there's any country that's perfect with flawless leaders in the world. Even don't even have the basic things, before getting the standard provisions to have our wants satisfied...
illicit: Christains' can call it anything but everybody knows what's right and what's not....
We really don't need religion to decide that....
Kobojunkie: Sin is not about what is right and what is wrong though...it is instead about the Contract/agreement set between God and those who will follow/Obey Him.
For instance, it is not wrong to eat Pork meat since it is good food. But in the Old Contract which still exists between God and the descendants of Israel, eating pork is wrong.
@illicit, religion, as in, religion that's true, pure and such God finds no fault or flaw in, actually, is one of the bona fide passes to enter into the kingdom of heaven with.
@Kobojunkie, from a Jewish concept POV, sin, is missing the mark of God, aka missing the standard of God. It is like missing to hit the bullseye circle mark on a shooting target. You either hit it or you miss it, lmso. You hit it right or you hit it wrong, lmso
The verses, as already provided above, are John 3:1-4, 7-8.
The means, by which you can know anyone is born again, is from, how they relate to, positively confess, admit, perceive, acknowledge, embrace et cetera the move and demonstration of the power of God
JourneytoEL: okay, we learn everyday, pls post the verse so i can learn
"1Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him.” 3Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. 4“How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” - John 3:1-4
Kobojunkie: Well, maybe not what it "means" but what it is like for those who are born of the Spirit of God. John 3 vs 7-8.
"7Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ 8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”" - John 3:7-8
John 3:7-8 is complementing whats already explained in John 3:1-4, that unless you are spiritual (i.e. born again aka born from high et cetera), like Nicodemus was, you won't be able to see the move and power of God enough to admit, acknowledge nor attribute it to God.
To be born again, though it is a given, is enigmatic, is what John 3:7-8, in a nutshell, is saying. Born again, is a sure thing that doesnt need to be taught, hence Jesus Christ never taught it except for the one time, that Nicodemus, in the middle of the night secretly turned up with questions that led to Yahshua Ha Mashiah aka Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world mentioning it.
JourneytoEL: Jesus clearly stated what it means to be born agin in John 3:3-5, he said to Nicodemus “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.a”
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of Water and the Spirit
Please don't stop at water baptism, you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit to complete the rite of been born again. Read the book of Acts to see how the Apostles converted unbelievers. That was why Peter told the unbelievers who wanted to become Born again Christians in Acts 2:38, to "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Kobojunkie: You ignored the very verse where Jesus Christ in fact explained what it meansto be born again...
MuttleyLaff: "Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." - John 3:3
... also what was the comment made by Nicodemus, as in, what was his intro question and the reason, he gave, for coming up to the clandestine meeting in the dead of the night or wee hours of the morning, he had with Jesus?. Lastly, why is Jesus saying "truly truly I tell you" and talking about "no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" to Nicodemus' John 3:2 blunt and opening remark, huh? I am sure, you're aware, that Jesus, always does this, He responds to what lies at the heart of something or somebody. Jesus in John 3:3, responded to what was in the heart of Nicodemus, by telling Nicodemus that no one can see and confirm all that Nicodemus has said about Him and say that the miraculous signs are evidence that God is with Jesus except that person is born again. Isnt that so? Isnt that the words of Jesus and/or what He said about "born again", the phrase originally known as born from above or born from on high?
In fact, scoffers, mockers, cynics, pagans etcetera dont, never see and never will see anything good about the kingdom and that's because they are not born again, they are not born from above, and so are not spiritually rebirthed. It's more the reason, we have atheists, it is because regeneration has not taken place in them and this why they rubbish and/or never want to acknowledge any demonstrations or power of the kingdom of God. They dont believe who Jesus is, that He is God and that the miraculous signs are evidence that God is with Jesus
Kobojunkie: Saying a prayer does not get anyone Born again, not according to Jesus Christ it does not.
The only way to be born again is to obey the commandments that Jesus Christ gave to those who would become His followers. Only those who make themselves worthy of Him will be born of His Spirit.
Only those who submit to serving Him in Truth(obedience of His commandment) and in Spirit(to be reborn and led by His Spirit) are worthy of Him.
JourneytoEL: Jesus clearly stated what it means to be born agin in John 3:3-5, he said to Nicodemus “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

JeffreyOraz: Born again this and that It's funny that people think by saying some simple words they have become new beings, you guys should have sense for once. Like a Reverend father I look up to once said, born again simply means baptism, not saying a bunch of words, if you aren't baptized you aren't born again. And being baptized doesn't make you an official candidate of heaven, if you're a sinner, you go to hell, or so the Bible says
xproducer: OP, I commend you pointing people to the Lord Jesus Christ - the only Holy One by and through Whom mankind can be saved from God's righteous judgment for sin; "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12
It is important to remember though, that we should never find ourselves trusting in anyone, or in this case, any specific action(s) that we take to ensure our salvation/redemption/being born in the spirit (born again).
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-14
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
Peace.
MuttleyLaff: "1Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (member of the Sanhedrin) among the Jews, 2who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; (i.e. that God has sent You to teach us) for no one can do these signs [these wonders, these attesting miracles] that You do unless God is with Him.” 3Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.” - John 3:1
@ EFULEFU1 , notice thoughtfully, what Yahshua Ha Mashiah, aka Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, said in John 3:3, in response to Nicodemus' opening statement, confession, admitting and acknowledgement said in John 3:2
"Jesus replied, “You are the [great and well-known] teacher of Israel, and yet you do not know nor understand these things [from Scripture]? (i.e. “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things?)'' - John 3:10
To be born again is a given, hence notice, that Yahshua Ha Mashiah, aka Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, never preached nor taught about it until when the one time, in the middle of the night private audience with Nicodemus that the subject came up.
Also further notice, how in John 3:10, Yahshua Ha Mashiah, aka Jesus Christ, reprimanded Nicodemus for not knowing "common biblical knowledge" these things, such as like the matter of being born again, lmso
MuttleyLaff: "Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." - John 3:3

tobechi74: What about intersex, those haemaphrodite with both male and female genitals. Are they created in God image. Is it confusion
"1While He was passing by, He noticed a man [who had been] blind from birth (i.e. you may replace with, who was a homosexual). 2His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), who [a]sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” (i.e. you may replace with, that he would be a homosexual). 3Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God might be displayed and illustrated in him" - John 9:1-3
Undisputedly, they are created in God's image. They are created to give love and receive love back in return. Gender, ,is temporal, only three things are eternal, and they are: faith, hope and love
Permissible and/or acceptable homosexuality is not a sin
Magnoliaa: I wonder for how long we'll keep at this. Corruption, incompetence, till we finally snap and come to our senses.
"You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain." - Deuteronomy 25:4
The idea behind that law, is that you can't prevent the animal (i.e. the ox) from eating some of the grain it is producing for us. No ones going to mind the corruption, if at least those in government, are delivering appreciable dividends of democracy and benefits for the masses who voted government in power
No comparison, but I see the potentials and grace of Aaliyah in Ayra Starr. I just wish, Don Jazzy, if he reads this or is reading this, would do a Timbaland with Ayra Starr (i.e. at least, maybe something like "We Need A Resolution'') C'mon now, guys, Don Jazzy, Ayra Starr, et al, up the game, up the ante. Raise the standard.
azammi: They are this little things that happens that makes you believe in God , they are just little things that makes you believe that God hears you I would give you 2 of mine
When I was little I was in children department and I remember saying in church that I want to go to king’s college , six years later I stayed with my pastor her child was in king’s College then so she told my dad that she would love me going to the school then I wrote the exam and got admitted into the school
- last week I said I would never call God JAH that I’m not sure it is in the Bible and it’s was wrong not long after that same day I opened the Bible not knowing where to read and God lead me to a scripture that he was being referred to as JAH and later I was watching a church program on faith tv and the pastor who was ministering read a scripture where God was referred to as JAH, I was really amazed how God listens even when we think he doesn’t
They are little things that God do or does that makes you just wonder , if you have any experience please share
"Then Peter called to Him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to You, walking on the water.”" - Matthew 14:28
"18Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.” 19“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 20But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.” 21The LORD continued, “There is a place near Me where you are to stand upon a rock, 22and when My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”" - Exodus 33:18-23
Too much to mention, many "This Little Wonders Of God " to list, but I would oblige you with two or three
I remember, as if its yesterday, I had a check list of all what I needed in a wife, and Abba, faithfully granted me, everything on that list, meaning, He held nothing back. My missus is more than a lover. More than a woman. More than another. No scale can measure the treasure she is.
Just like you too, but mine is light years ago, I was meditating and reflecting on the word, as believers usually do and I said, Abba, why and how was Peter able to suspend and defy the law of gravity with walking on water and not sink (i.e. Matthew 14:28). Before I knew it, I was channel surfing satellite TV channels, only to catch a preacher giving a sermon that shed light on what I wanted to know more about with and the Holy Spirit dealt with the last piece(s) of the puzzle
Similar thing happened with Exodus 33:18-23. As one does, again light years ago, I was meditating and reflecting on the word, as believers usually do and also, I said, Abba, what's the connect of Exodus 33:18 with Exodus 33:20, I dont fully understand what's going on in Exodus 33:18-23. Before I knew it, once more, I was doing my usual channel surfing satellite TV channels, when either Bishop Charles Edward Blake Sr or Pastor Carlton D'metrius Pearson came on air. I used either because I cant correctly who of the two it really was, but I am sure its one of them. Anyway, whoever it was among them two, really broken it down for me, what I wanted explained about specifically Exodus 33:18 and Exodus 33:20. before shedding more light, with again, the help of the Spirit of Truth aka Holy Spirit, aka Helper, in doing an exegesis Exodus 33:18-23 for me.
Kobojunkie: According to Jesus Christ Himself, those of you who believe in Him, will lay sleeping in your graves (much like Lazarus did before Jesus then raised him from the grave) until Jesus Christ returns and raises you out of your graves.
Those who are His sheep will hear His voice from their graves where they sleep and will be raised from the dead, some to be judged while others to receive the reward that awaits them.
Those who do not believe are without an afterlife and so perish once they die, never to be again.
Nazgul: You're sounding like an atheist. Do you happen to be one?
Kobojunkie: And what part of my post there sounds like what an atheist would say?
"“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”" - John 11:39
The noun/adjective sleeping, is making reference to how when one have natural sleep, one is oblivious of what is happened while in that state of rest. The same way, it is, when one dies, the body goes back to the ground to become dust again. The spirit aka breath or ruach, goes back to its Owner, God who first gave it, but the soul, it goes to Sheol, where there are two sections, to await the the time of judgment. Now when the soul, is in this state, it just as like when having a natural sleep, has no idea of what is happening anymore in the land of the living, as vice versa, those in the land of the living, have no idea of what's going on in the land of the dead, hence why the term "sleep" is used for anyone thats died, based on the fact such person is unconscious to all that is happening in or on the land of the living and equally because has no awareness to the going ons in the land of the living.
Now it'll interest you to know that, Lazarus wasn't brought back to life before five days after his death by Yahshua HaMashiah aka Jesus Christ, God Incarnate, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, because it wouldn't have been obvious that Lazarus' soul has made the transition or passage journey to Sheol and so will not perfectly evidentially show He brought Lazarus back, really from the land of the dead aka sleep (i.e. John 11:39 above)
VBCampaign: ^^^ I always enjoy reading your responses MuttleyLaff... Thank you
The pleasure is mutual. I also enjoy how Deji Yesufu shakes and rocks tables. How sacred cows are not spared put on the spot light. I check regularly to see what he has to say about vaccines, of course interestingly enough COVID-19 vaccination.
Also VBCampaign, I would love to read all Deji Yesufu has to say/write, on why Trump couldn't stay in the Whitehouse. Would it be because its "for Biden" and/or forbidden, for him to return back to it ni, lmso.
Some famous and well known posters here on Nairaland, have long since, out of shame and loss of face, gone underground based on their prediction and false prophecies, that come January 20th 2021, Trump will still be in the Whitehouse
donnie: There is one prayer I made... that YAH will expose these workers of inquity. Expose their plans in such a way that only the rebellious at heart will take the vaccine.
I am certain you have at least one vaccine scar on your upper arm (e.g. a smallpox vaccination) Now fyi, sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place, so you might want to take your own advice for someone else to please just get lost!

Throughout December the company that usually removes the garbage can from my home was unable to do so. When I finally reached the lady in charge, she told me that the Hausa boys they use to collect the dumps from each home had gone for Christmas holidays and they were still not yet back a week into January. When their company could no longer wait, and with incessant calls by customers to come and remove the overflowing garbage in their homes, they eventually settled for Yoruba boys. “So why didn’t you use them earlier…”, I asked her. “Ha, our boys charge higher o…” she exclaimed.
While the Hausa boys will take something between N1,500 and N2,000 for a day’s job, Yoruba boys take nothing less than N3,000. I was happy to hear this. It means that the cost of such labor is not too cheap south of Nigeria and anyone who is interested in employing young men from here would have to pay well for it. Yet, I was concerned that Northern Nigeria is still a source for cheap labor in Nigeria.
The phrase “labor is cheap” in Nigeria was brought to my reckoning by the brilliant Ibadan mechanic, Tunde Onokoya. In his morning radio program, he often explained that cheap labor is the reason many Nigerians know very little about DIYs on their vehicles. When it will cost you about a week’s wage to change the oil in your car, you are likely to learn how to do it yourself. I’ll return to this matter of lingering cheap labor in Nigeria. For now I must position this article with more anecdotes.
During the six-month lockdown, my children became increasing restless at home. My wife told me that she had learnt from a Zoom seminar that children will need to burn off excess energy by taking long walks around the neighborhood. So, one evening we took a stroll through my estate. I have a terrible nanner of never venturing beyond my house or the street I live in. I could live years in a neighborhood and not know what the adjoining streets look like.
So while walking through the estate, I discovered the share number of young able men either sitting by an estate gate or sitting by the gate of the house. They are usually referred to as “gate-men”. All they do is to open the gate when their employers arrive home and shut it when they leave. They also act as security guards. They run errands for the employer and they just sit around the gate – all day long doing practically nothing. We can afford to employ these men because they offer cheap labor to us. Yet we do not realize that what we have on our hands is a ticking bomb.
So they say we should travel so that we can learn how other climes function and we can imitate them. Permit me to bring my overly told story of my travel to Germany in March last year here again. Fortunately or unfortunately it is an experience I am yet to get over with. The German economy is super rich; I understand it is richer than that of the United Kingdom. I noticed that everywhere we went in Berlin there was no such thing as a gate man.
Truth is that even if there was, this matter of a minimum wage will force you to pay him for doing practically nothing. So when you drive into a hotel parking lot, your room tag open opens the gate to the place. Whatever neighborhood you live has a gate tag that opens the gate automatically any time you drive in. The company I trained in was situated in a university campus. Everyone that owned a car came into the campus with a tag that you swipe through a computer, which then opens the gate for you. The gate man is not needed in such a country.
Now back to this matter of cheap labor: the southern part of Nigeria has built its work force to a point that the least degree any adult here has is a Primary School Leaving Certificate. Gentlemen, that certificate will be over qualification for the job of a dumpster or a gate man. So we will need to employ people from other parts of the country who have no education at all. We see then that if our nation can commit itself to building a populace where the least educated person has a university degree, then every employer will be forced to pay a minimum wage to their employees. Or else, you will do your job yourself.
The next thing that we can do to fix this matter of cheap labor is for everyone of us to have some milk of human kindness in us. We cannot say because there is unemployment in the country we can then employ people and pay them peanuts. How exactly would you distinguish yourself from the Lebanese overlords who employ Nigerians and use them like rain water in their companies. We will not be any different from them and we will earn the same judgement from God – which he has destined on such evil fellows.
My children are seven and nine years old. Their mother just designated them to begin washing the dishes on alternate days. Before this time she washed the plates and I helped her often. When we got married I told her I will not bring a curse on myself by employing under-age children to work in my home. For about a decade of marriage, my wife and I labored to keep our home – doing all the menial jobs ourselves. Only employing a woman to clean the house on alternate weekends because we cannot afford to pay her every weekend. This woman is not educated but we pay her well. I will not join those who employ people at whim and pay them peanuts because labor is cheap in the country. Maybe this is the reason we have kept this woman’s services for close to a decade now.
What is the point of my rant?
It is two fold: the Nigerian people should commit themselves to building a nation of educated elites. I have purposely not said government because I no longer believe that government should be the sole builder of a nation – the people should. When we understand that an enlightened mind can do a lot more than just getting a job, getting a salary and living fine, we will realize that an educated populace has a way of naturally building the country inside out.
This matter is not just government not creating jobs; the matter is that Nigerians are not brilliant enough to be creative enough, to produce goods and services that people from all over the world will fall over themselves to pay for. And we are not there yet because oil is still servicing our incompetence – a subject for another day. Suffice to say here that a productive economy will naturally produce employment for people. Money will come in for goods produced, people will be employed in these companies and they will be forced to pay them well because the employees will have basic education you cannot just take for granted.
Second, Nigerians must develop a sense of patriotism and nationalism. When I wrote my book Victor Banjo, a Nigerian from the UK got a soft copy of the book off the internet. He said the mere fact that the book was written by a Nigerian propelled him to get a copy. If we all think Nigerian, if we realize that employing someone and paying that person well, is empowering this person to do more for his community, we will realize that what goes around will come around. A nation where its citizens are not paid peanuts will develop to be a strong nation within and without. Nigerians will remain in Nigeria; no one will need to go to Libya to live as a second class citizen. And when our people venture out of the shores of this country, they will be respected and paid well for the jobs they do.
Of course the other option is to continue with the stratified soceity that we have. Where we have the super rich and the mindless poor. And like they say when the poor find nothing else to eat, they will turn around and eat the rich. We all have a duty to do something about cheap labor in this country. You can start by paying that mechanic his due for what he did on your car. Employ an adult help in the house and pay them a reasonable wage – if not a minimum wage. If all you can get is an underage worker, commit to giving her an education as long as he or she is under your roof. Let us as a people take some radical steps at eradicating poverty around us and we can be sure that we will be building a future for ourselves and one that our children will be proud of.
Dont be too hard on yourself. I didnt see any rant in the write up.
Tbh, cheap labour is rife all over the world. All those high end handbags you get Mrs VBCampaign, where do you think they have them made up from, for all the fashion label industry(ies), hmm?
The question that should be asked is does Naija have minimum wage legislation? If affirmative, then why isnt it being enforced? Most other nations, take pride in everything made in their country. Its not just UK that has slogans like "Be British, Buy British", Rep of Ireland and other European countries have similar too, but Naija with its inferiority complex wouldnt be caught alive patronising local produce and/or product. We import rice, for crying out loud, smh sigh.
budaatum: I picked up the 2008 edition of this book, and was surprised to read the following statement in the preface:
"The book that you are about to read was completed in June, 1989 and was based upon the research that I have done for 27 years. All the signs that I was reading about indicated that THE NEW WORLD ORDER was scheduled to start on January 1, 2000. This obviously did not happen on that date. However, that does not mean that my research was incorrect. It means that another date has been selected and that this date has truly been kept secret from honest researchers such as myself. Let me impress upon you: these people are committed to achieving their goal, and THE NEW WORLD ORDER will occur, but at a future date. Let me add that I still believe that this date is very near."
If you don't see a problem, google Karl Popper's "falsification criterion."Epperson’s third chapter illustrates the absurdity to which his ilk sinks. He introduces us to the New Age world ruler "Lord Maitreya" who has been living high in the Himalaya Mountains since 1977 preparing to take over the world. In 1990 Epperson suggested that Maitreya's descent from the mountains was imminent. The closing line of the chapter reads, “So the world awaits the visible appearance of Lord Maitreya.” Eighteen years later, the sixteenth printing of the book repeats the same claims. One wonders how old the Himalayan boogey man is getting these days, and whether Epperson might realize his research has been falsified.

Magnoliaa: Yhh... I've seen you post about and praised this. I've not gotten around to listening to it. Will try to.
Listen to each track and listen without bias
Magnoliaa: I don't get you. Are you saying it's not common for people to use "ngbana" like that? Ahan. And what's a Mundele? I know it's like a name or phrase like em saying, "You be Sule or Sumonu" ( ) but in this context - what does it mean??
Mundele, is an African local word for saying white man. Oyinbo, is the Nigerian equivalent word
Magnoliaa: The state of Nigeria rn is sad. I didn't watch everything in the video oh. It's just about Tafawa Balewa and the country's prestige then, right? But thanks for sharing anyway. I can put a living face and almost actual experience to the oral and written lessons I get in Government classes. We did let ourselves down. I wonder how things degenerated for such an emerging country back then...
Yoruba has an "Ayọ, lo npa enia" colloquial which when loosely translated means, "wild and unchecked euphoria, is what kills a man/woman" We still yet don't recognise, havent registered what we've squandered.
Ishilove: This man seems to have been very sound. Quite a shame he was wasted.
Such a humble man, an unassuming but well confident in who he is and who he represents man.
Displayed swagger because he is representing the most populous black nation in the whole wide world. Hmm. Nah we squandered a golden opportunity and frittered all our God given gifted potential(s) away. Smh sigh. The increasing excesses of the Ahmadu Bello (i.e. Fulani) prompted Nzeogwu & Co to waste away Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa & Co, with the plan to bring sanity, equality, fairness and equity, justice et cetera to Naija. What the Fulani are currently doing is déjà vu. They have this mindset that stems right from our colonisation by the British that they are born to perpetually rule and lord over Naija. Go watch some of Sir Ahmadu Bello's video clips, lmso.
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa's political will weakness caused him to become a collateral damage and so cost him his life. RIP
Magnoliaa: Lmaoo. How I wan take prove say I be Naija again? If I am lying, I should be lying I am not a Nigerian. If the image of me being a foreigner or of mixed race help in any way: toor, carry it then . You can't see me and I'm not posting my picture.
I never asked for a pic. Didnt ask for to see you. I am not demanding in that way. Have you ever seen God or maybe Satan, hmm, lmso. I dont think so, lmso, so how does one know how God ever exists then, lmso? Its simply by looking at demonstrations, corroborations andet cetera. My conviction grew stronger that you are Naija at your demonstration of using "ngbana" lmso
Magnoliaa: I didn't deny being a Nigerian oh. Abi you're getting me wrong?
I know you didnt, but it was Ishilove disputing you aren't
Magnoliaa: Ahh. I see. So you think Naira Marley is talented. That's nyc. I think he is, too. He's just too good. And his beats, lyrics are always head-bursting, even though they can be too vulgar.
lmso, vulgarity is in the bible, and I dont have a problem with the Bible because of that. I look beyond Naira Marley's vulgarity enough to recognise and appreciate the abinibi grace he is gifted with
You need to go listen to all the tracks on, ex-YBNL Princess, Temmie Ovwasa, newest album with the title "E be say dem swear for me!", lmso
Magnoliaa: Okay, ngbana. I wee stoop to conquer agree with you.
lmso, I love that. I love "Okay, ngbana", that nah real Naija shit lingo going on there, lmso. Dem no born any Mundele, well enough, to yarn or roll off something like that out, using "ngbana"
Please no need to "stoop to conquer agree with you" when number 1, dont stain your knee or bend to stoop. Number two, WHICH really should have been number 1, it is incontrovertible, that Naija is the bomb, shame we messed things up. See the great panache of our PM in 1961. The world looked up to Naija, but we let ourselves down
Talk is cheap, lmso. Prove it, you're bonafide and kofam true born Naija
Magnoliaa: Lmao. If not for space sef, e get more wey I go still like add. Are you a Marlian, toooo? Wait, how do we great each other, if you are one? I'm all kind of unaware about the club and all.
I dont have to be Marlian , in order to respect grace gift and/or talent
Magnoliaa: Some would disagree with the bolded. But yeah, Africa is where AA roots are, so I have the base identity, even if it's only that...
Nothing beats the Naija spirit. Naija, in all its ramifications, are a blessed lot. Ọmọ dont set me off talking how the best race to be is Naija, lmso

Why does one look beautiful to you and the other doesn't - when they are both women? That's it.
We did let ourselves down. I wonder how things degenerated for such an emerging country back then...
