Did I talk about politics? If you interpreted my post that way, then you are to blame. What I was referring to is how I've seen a lot of older people misbehaving but are given leeway because the are "elders" and I'm not even talking about politics.

You speak of culture as if Nigeria's is homogenous. You've forgotten that what is acceptable in certain parts is completely frowned upon in other parts.

This lady is in entertainment and so she should expect to be referred to by her name. Your fans will not call you Madam or Ma or Mrs. That is all balderdash.

Wasn't the entertainment industry copied from the west, do you see them going about calling there actors Ma, Sir and all?

The black man's mind is so backward and we grasp at very foolish issues and make them seem important.

Entertainment never came from the west. We had our unique way of entertainment. We only borrowed their technology and also, brought some improvement to ours This is one of the problem why you never value anything that is ours but seem to see the western practice as being better.

Black man's mind isn't backward. If that's the case, we shouldn't have heard of many black men who made giant strides and are recognised globally. Can you see where the issue is with your narrative? Believing anything western is okay but yours is backward.

I have been to many countries with technological advancement and yet, still see them uphold their culture with respect and value for the elders. Yet, what we have, we lose it because we want to be like the west.

Culture is just a way of life and we should start having the right thoughts about our culture. She expressed her view and she should be respected for this.

TheRealestGuy:
You're mistaken being civil or polite for respect.

Respect is earned by giving it hence the phrase respect is reciprocal.

No one automatically deserves respect in any situation, except maybe one's parents cos they birthed you but even then, if one's parents consistently disrespect their child then they actually deserve whatever they get.

Your mindset is very disturbing but I'm not surprised - it's what has kept Nigerians in bondage for decades.

People don't speak the truth to criminals in the society in the name of respecting one's elders.

You better wake up and free yourself from such a subservient mentality!

It is your mindset that has rather made Nigeria inferior to the western practice. Culture is different from politics. Practicing our culture doesn't mean that truth shouldn't be spoken.

It is people like you who have ruined our culture because of seemingly better western practices. You still have the slavery mentality and you need to free yourself from this.

So, we are both clear I have travelled out of the shores of Nigeria and I have been to countries technologically advanced, yet, they uphold their culture. It is your mentality that has rather ruined Nigeria.

Culture is not politics and it is neither technological development. It is just a way of life.

TheRealestGuy:
Culture of subjugation that never brought any technological or scientific innovation

When did calling people by their name become disrespectful?

Yes I know in some Nigerian cultures, emphasis is placed on using prefixes like Aunty, Uncle, Sir and Ma but all those do not necessarily equal respect.

Respect is usually earned and thus, people may call someone by those prefixes and still disrespect them thoroughly.

For example I've heard so many times where people say "brother yen o gbadun", "iya yen siwin", etc.

Salutation has never meant respect at any time in history but will you learn?

Respect is earned has always being the narrative of the disrespectful in many situations I have seen. An adult doesn't have to earn any respect but they deserve the respect irrespective of their character. This is where culture comes in. Culture has nothing to do with technological or scientific development as there is no connection whatsoever. Instead, it is part of societal values. Why are the westerners imbibing our culture now while we are losing ours while copying theirs? Do they want to go backwards technologically by doing this? Going by your own narrative. It's really sad.

Miyachi:
Of what use is culture if it doesn't bring progress. We should have continued the killing of twins and child marriages since they were part of our culture.

State that it's a preference and be done with it but don't come and hide behind culture. Is culture divine, isn't it man-made?

I think too much respect (or reverence) for elders is why we are in such a mess in this country. You see old people misbehaving and you look the other way because they are old.

I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to a person by their name but if it's their preference that I don't, fine. It isn't a dearth of respect on my part.

Culture has nothing to do with politics. This is just the usual style of connecting everything to the situation of the country. When has respect for elders stopped the youth from coming out to contest in an election? Or have we not seen some youths who also messed up in politics? Does this have anything to do with culture?

It's time we go back to our values and unique culture and create a sane society. It's the disrespect and disregard for our culture that has led to moral decadence in the society and no headway anymore.

Validated:
Who approved the building plan?
How much was paid to LASG for the approval?
Why is Tinubu's Bourdillon house, which clearly contravened the original Ikoyi masterplan not yet marked for demolition?

Were the buildings approved? Why build over waterways? Are the developers not educated enough to know that civil structures such as waterways are not meant to be filled for construction works?

Let's also ask these questions too

ivolt:
Good.
That old man will finally find what he is looking for all in the name of inheritance.
What a shame.

This has nothing to do with inheritance but the son marrying a deceitful family and scammers.

iamoyindamola:
Peele arugbo ojo

When you lose your culture and morals, you end up with words as yours.

She has said nothing wrong. We are gradually losing our culture to copy western practice whereas some of these westerners are gradually imbibing our culture. Respect and values are key.

Shattuck:
neither the aworis nor the binis can lay claim to the entire Lagos, the aworis had their territory in Lagos the binis also had their territory, Lagos is a state just like osun, just like you have the Ooni of ife who governs the ife territory of osun state, there are also other traditional rulers in the same osun, you can't come today and claim the ancestors of the Ooni founded osun state they only founded ife, same can be said about Lagos and how you guys always try to make it look like the aworis controlled the entire Lagos, the binis also had their territory, which means the oba isn't wrong.

The Aworis spread across many areas of Lagos but same can't be said of the Binis

kingthreat:
Sorry but what has she done to deserve the reputation of a SAN.
We know what likes of Ozekhome and Gani did to elevated to the SAN level but now being married to a top lawyer gives one the access to become a SAN
Femi Falana keeps deceiving the world that he is a human rights activist. He is one of the problems of the Nigerian system.

Since you are clueless as to what she has done, you should have kept quiet than giving this silly conclusion. You have no clue, yet dropping nonsense.

I just don't understand why we can't first do some research before stating nonsense.

franchasofficia:
Rufai firing from all cylinders.


One of the few brave honorable Yoruba sons alive.


Fela Kuti
Rufai Oseni
Gani Fawehinmi
Pa Ayo Adebanjo
Afe Babalola
Akinwunmi Adesina
Prof Yemi Osinbajo
Olusegun Obasanjo
Col Fajuyi
Idiagbon
etc
etc



Not the criminal, terrorist, Owomida chasing, Owo Osole ravaged Yoruba Ronu Youths of our time

When I saw Obasanjo on the list, I knew for sure that you are not sincere. Except if you want to tell me that being 'brave' and 'honourable' is all about letter writing

christejames:
Let's go back to our ancient architecture or modernize it like this... ☺



I don't even know what our architectural students are being taught in our universities 😏, nothing exceptional in their designs, always that 'square design' with 'send down the rain rooftop' that is prominent at almost every estate in the country




You guys can do better, be more creative abeg, architecture is more of an art, and arts are unique representation of life, so guard it!

You are 100% correct. You get to see that the most creative architectural designs you see in Lagos are the 'imported' designs from South Africa.

Queengee:
Just the same way Tinubu is treating Ronu people like use and dump pieces of craps that now their daughters are doing hookup boys Yahoo , parents lamenting and begging for alms

This only happened in your thoughts based on bitterness.

Ola9ja23:
As usual, Nigerians Jews have started crying again 😂🤣🤣😄😀😀😄

It has nothing to do with Nigerian Jews. These same countries who filed a case at ICC will do same as Israel if they encounter such. You can't attack a country,take their citizens away to use as human shield and expect them not to attack back even in a worse manner.

We are just not sincere in this matter. The only concern in this matter is the lives of innocent citizens lost at both Hamas and Israel. This is what should be condemned. Hamas rejoiced when they did the evil and yet, couldn't better a greater evil. It's sad

It is obvious that those bent on making money out of Mr. Ibu's condition are behind this.

They are not concerned about his health but the money donated and how it should be diverted for personal use instead of addressing this man's health condition.

Anyenmoney:
Which story are we going to believe?
So the wife is trying to remove herself from the picture,. Na wa oh!
RIP Mohbad.

When the fight started, she was not there. When the nurse injected the guy, she was in the kitchen.

Only God knows who it telling the truth

nedekid:
That obituary one is going too far though.
One guy I knew, I suddenly got his obituary. I called his close friend who was shocked too. Later he called be that his friend was alive and well, that it's was loan app people. That his paddy was in the habit of taking money and not paying.
Guess what, next call I got few weeks later (don't think it was months), the guy died!
He was found in his appartmemt dead.

If the family of the guy takes it up, the loan company can be sued for this and they will definitely win. Declaring the obituary of someone who is still alive means a lot. It could also be that this act led to the guy probably committing suicide.

nedekid:
So loan company should involve the appropriate authority or do all you suggested ontop 10, 20, 30k?
Yeah, they should sue the defaulter also, pay lawyers 500k, 1,000,000 to chase 10, 20, 30k?

So, obituary is the solution, right? If they can't address matters legally they should not engage in the business. It's that simple.

Wisereborn:
For your mind now that was a nice clap back

But you drove them to that desperation, if you had paid as per agreement, would they have resulted to that

You guys are funny, you become desperate when in need, someone comes to your rescue and this is how you choose to pay back

What is wrong with you guys and some of you are here blaming the hapi boys you ungrateful lots

What's wrong in the loan company doing the right thing and not declaring the person dead? Would such declaration bring out the money? Isn't that sick in the first instance?

Asides this, why can't the company make use of the grace period in repayment and also, work according to the interest introduced when a client defaults in repayment? If all options elapse, involve the appropriate authority on the matter. At least, there was an agreement signed before the loan was approved.

seguno2:
You should revisit your English lessons on comparative grammar.
Thank me later.

It has nothing to do with English. It's only childish individuals who lack reasoning stoop so low when it comes to objective discussions. You need to grow up. You are still a baby.

seguno2:
Do you know about corruption better than Transparency International

Whether Transparency International talked about the corruption in Nigeria or not, it still does not absolve the Goodluck's administration of corruption. The ongoing case in the UK speaks so much of the Goodluck's administration. So, it's best you accept the fact that Goodluck contributed greatly to ruining Nigeria

Racoon:
While the super looters criminals who came after him condemning his government over 8 years took the nation to the abssy of unimaginable executive rascality/recklessness and institutional corruption

With all your grammar, it still did not clear the Goodluck's administration of the massive corruption that occurred in his government. No saving culture that ruined the country together with the foreign reserve decline

JagabanB:
With all his agitations up and down, he cañ't take treatment in Nigeria?
The avèràge Nîgèrîan is a hypocrite, they will nail someone for exactly same thing they will do when given the opportunity.

It's really sad. Although, the beating was not okay but these people are funny by saying no Nigerian hospital can address the injuries sustained from beating. Later, this same people will attack politicians. We are all not honest in this country and we pick whatever favours us.

slivertongue:
I beg to disagree

Go to America to do this and hire a lawyer to help you in this since you seem to know more than those who uphold the law in their own country (not yours).

seunlayi:
Atiku is actually right, but many Nigerians won't reason.... They like been manipulated

He is not right. He is just selfish. Someone who calls for rotation and yet, didn't allow this in his party. Who is deceiving who?

We just keep being swayed by people who do not have the interest of the country at heart

Taylor92:
Bitter truth




Atiku is already made




Na we dey suffer the corrupt and bad government

If that's the case, why has he attempted to become the president of Nigeria on many occasions too? He is a loser, accepting this will help him stop this sick ambition and give room for genuine people who have the interest of the country at heart to run for the presidency position.

This is the time to say to Atiku to go home and rest. We need genuine individuals who want Nigeria to progress and not individuals chasing personal ambitions desperately.

God1000:
So they have shifted it from December 2023 to 2024

We just love tackling anything from the government. I understand that the government also cannot be trusted too but it was the Port Harcourt refinery that was mentioned to resume operations by December, 2023.

All of a sudden someone came up trying to act like a saint as if we've forgotten the many accusations on his neck. To even believe or follow this type of person who was and still is part of the problem Nigeria faced and is facing is sick.

Nonny95:
There’s one letter and one deposition under oath. As a judge, Principle of Orality’ in Litigation must be appreciated.

A deposition under oath is not a letter, infact it gives clearer view to anyone's sworn statement, which the Judge is trying to create technicality for.

If your written statement is yes and during cross examination your yes turns no, then you're not saying the truth.

When you remember this is Nigeria and not Netflix then you will understand this statement from a judge.

We know justice okoro's antecedents, he should go on to approve certificate forgery. Nigerians will remember him for that.

You guys have started again. This was how you did at the tribunal and your preferred candidate lost. Your conclusion on this matter is worrisome. The way people go about this matter contributes to the failure of the case at the tribunal

Jostoman:
Good one from chris uche(SAN) we are talking about forgery case that nigeria constitution seriously against

Forgery that was never mentioned in the USA case. Keep dreaming.

Atiku just love the usual noise instead of really proving how he won the election and this will lead to his loss at the Supreme court also

God1000:
It appears he didn't love his son much when he was alive, his actions so far is a testament to that

But I agree with him, DNA test must be conducted to ascertain what led to his death

Find out facts before you type. May we not be judged based on careless talks.

Reminderz:
possible things involved...

1) she's not sexually attracted to you..
2) she doesn't see you as a man she respect; a weak man.
3) she's cheating.
4) you don't take your personal hygiene seriously; you're not neat.
5) you don't know how to get a woman in the mood.
6) she's not performing her duties as your wife.
7) she knows you can't get it anywhere else so she keeps manipulating you with it; you've gat no options..

if the problem is 1, 2, 4 and 5, then the problem is you... if the problem is 3, 6 and 7, then don't also perform your duties on her, ignore her like she doesn't exist... she wants to friendzone you in the marriage, if she doesn't fvck you, who does she fvck? and did you meet her a virgin? if it persists, get another wife or cheat since she doesn't know what's expected of her, she should go back to her father's house if she's not emotionally matured enough to be married...

What if it is a medical condition or issue?

Atiku is just not helping himself. If he was serious about this, he should devote more energy to seeing that the educational qualification of Tinubu be declared that of a woman or something to discredit the credibility of the certificates. Then, focus on how he will use the evidence to win at the Supreme Court. Going silent and planning your next move is key.

This man wants to still do the usual, playing to the media as if judgements are won in the media. Of what benefit will his world press conference do in the Supreme court? It's just sick.
