LordofNairaland:
This is different. I am sure Obama did this in Japan . Moreover, in Japan, bowing is a part of their greeting. The custom even has its place in sports that originated from Asia (e.g, Karate, taekwando). Aside that, why should anyone here bow to a king who is not in his kingdom. Why not tell your king to go to America and see how even the Americans on the street regard him. My point is, the King of Morocco is in Nigeria and not his kingdom.

However, looking at the picture in the OP, one can deduce that he was not bowing down to the king. He was probably about to clean his shoes or pick something from the ground.

My post wasn't to compare. I only drew a parallel in the events.

But yeah, I agree with your points.

Although, our dear Republicans gave Obama maximum criticism for this in '09, or so.

I remember when Obama caught a lot of heat for bowing to the Japanese emperor Akihito.

While the age gap is wide, a 20 year is a full grown adult.

However, the guy in the image looks younger than a regular 20 year old, and the lady looks older than a regular 40 year old.

Then again, Nigerians love to take random images from the internet and spin a totally false story out of it.

GoggleB:
Trace all the names in the Bible with bad images and tell me which one is still being used to name people in the world today..
Let me name some:

JUDAS ISCARIOT
JEZEBEL
AHAB
HEROD
CAIN
VASHITI
And many more

I know many people named Cain, but perhaps not in Nigeria.
Some popular ones.

1. Dean Cain AKA Superman (Lois & Clark).

2. Herman Cain. Republican Presidential candidate in 2012.

And many more I can name.

Because of the high rate of outsourcing, a lot of things in the US are "made in China," even though they're really just US companies who moved their factories to China to save money.

Honestly, I can hardly remember when last I saw anything with the label "Made in USA."

Although, they're specifically made for the US market and are usually different from typical Chinese products, they still carry the label.

Cool

They visit a specialist.

Chicken Gang.

Look at him putting on his most innocent face.

Who is the girl in the first picture?

Rexnegro:
so now fight on instagram don be news on nairaland abi? wetin concern me

It's quite funny how it's become a blog.

Quite honestly, the Naira is doomed.





Not that I'm complaining.

2baba for President.

So, was the "wealthy man" also arrested for solicitation? Or is prostitution legal in Uganda?

She's kinda cute... kinda.

Time flies. Seems like yesterday, when he came out with this video.

Back then (2000 - 2001), I would literally beg people to listen to Nigerian music.
Most people thought they were too cool to listen to Nigerian music, but look how far it's come.

I bet the guy has filed it under "Processing fees."

Damn! The thirst is real.

Here, have a glass of water, bro.

Serious question:

Does anyone know of a major politician who has ever served serious time in jail for corruption in Nigeria?

Looks like Nigerians are starting to get a mild dose of what we experience.

Welcome to the world of being taxed to death.

Same song and dance.

Same shitt, different toilet.

Same hat, different head.

etc etc

The common denominator = Looting.

If only those in charge would stop stealing all the defense funds.

A shopping center by itself isn't development.

In the absence of actual development around it, it's like putting lipstick on a pig.
At the end of the day, it's still a pig.

The government should be made to buy cars made in their own countries.

I bet the governor gets his salary paid 1 month ahead of time.

I think there should be a law in Nigeria where government payroll is set up electronically - with the governors and their cabinet's salaries at the end of the list.

That way, if every single state employee isn't paid, then they don't get paid either.

henrydadon:
the man was never suited for that position he probably bribe his way to the top..incident like this shouldn't be happening in the higher institutions of all places

Well, accidents can happen anywhere.

I have no idea whether or not this particular person is qualified.
However, I saw a clip from Nigeria's last general election where a VC could barely read the tally numbers.

It was extremely embarrassing to watch.

I bet s/he got the job.

It's obviously a joke, but mildly funny.

Wouldn't these just be "traits of a good partner"?

What makes it specific to males?

AntiWailer:
No money for best graduating student.

That category would probably get around N25,000.

A video of Nigerians rigging elections would shake the world?

That's like saying "my video of the sun rising will shake the world."

What would really shake the world is a Nigerian election completely free from manipulation.

It is always helpful to set defined goals and timelines, and hold yourself accountable to them.
