O fe ma fumble sha.
Je suis le vrai bad guy.
Ma problem est simple... oui c'est trop d'argent
Je suis le bonne garçon
His like dey didn't heducate u consining mai personal

Mixing Yoruba, French and Anglais... nice one Monsieur Falz.

12 years this guy kept this lady waiting yet all her friends were getting married and people started looking at her funny. OK let's even just say 10 years assuming two years to "get to know each other..."
What took him so long?

Sharpshooota:
People still watch nollywood

With no suspense and substance

Watch 10mins and predict the whole outcome

Infact from the pictures.. Let me summarize the movie
I. K meets poor mercy Johnson that sells mama put
He goes extra length to convince her that he loves her
She later agree.. They Wed... Happily ever after.. The end

Don't forget IK's mother... who won't like Mercy and would torment her before realizing her error 2 minutes before the end credits "To God be the glory!" I'm surprised I didn't see Madam P.

Please... my wife material is a lawyer, doctor, or estate agent with her own business practice, who can take me to Quilox every Thursday and fly me to tourist destinations across Nigeria. I pray not to be associated with garri fryers IJN Amen!


But the girl fine sha, that's true... maybe if she was wearing corporate wear or legal attire I might look at her twice.

We cannot build an economy where corruption is the working capital. Like Goodluck government
PMB sak

Oddly enough, the economy was doing much much better with corruption, and there was not so much hunger in the land. I'm not saying which is right or wrong, I'm just saying.

It's also odd that the people being persecuted for corruption tend to be members of the opposition... curious...

OyinO:
It is in the nature of a woman to play hard to get. Even when the hen is on heat period, she will still be running and screaming from the cock, leading to chasing and grabbing. If a lady is playing hard to get but likes you, she will give you body language to keep you chasing just like the hen and cock scenario. However, cheating is not connected to easy-to-get or hard-to-get attitudes of a wombman. Cheating is caused by environment, societal values, family background, hard circumstances, lack of self control and carelessness. Don't mix them up!

shadrach77:
That's a lie sir. How come Asian ladies and white ladies don't form hard to get?

It's something that has been passed down to our girls from generations past. It has nothing to do with a woman's psyche. It's an attitude willingly imbibed and has nothing to do with feminine psychology

Er... sir, now you know they form hard to get too. There are volumes and volumes of magazines advising girls how to form (or how to become a "new feminist" and not form", and many variations and combinations thereof. There are volumes of men trying to figure out why women play "hard to get". Just the fact that the term and practice exist in European languages (e.g. English) should suggest that their women form too.

A lot of our social norms and behavior have a strong basis in biology, so I concur with OyinO
Even the act of willingly imbibing an attitude is based on biology (i.e. we think we have free will, but a vast majority of our decisions are prompted by the genetics of being human)

For instance, why do we involuntarily smile or get angry or get Hot? It's not really our decision to feel happy when paid a compliment, or to get upset when somebody disagrees with us, or to get excited when an appropriate mate shows up.

ps. I just googled "playing hard to get" and got 500 million hits. Also look for "駆け引き女性" or "ミステリアスな女性" if you're so inclined.

Ahah ahahah ahahahah!!!! OP so funny.
NO correlation whatsoever. None. Nada. Please disabuse yourself of the notion that you can apply a theory to billions of women.

As you've seen, there are so many explanations, exceptions, conditions, and circumstances.

That's a funny thing for an actress to say... isn't that how an actress becomes irrelevant? By not acting?

I'm yet to hear an American actress feel she's too big or too expensive for their directors... but what do I know.

EgunMogaji:
I like this.

Let her go out to pasture and let new younger and even more sexier actresses get a chance.

Igberaga lo nsiwaju iparun

I'm with you on this... it's like she's purposefully obsoleting herself from acting. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as she has other streams of income, though brand endorsements are given to people who are popular. Can she remain popular without acting?

Leonbonapart:
This terrorist has saw dust in his brain.

Everything about him is Islam and Muslim

Nigeria is in deep sheet

What did he say in this post to warrant this ad-hominem attack? He said: muslims should go vote; they should not allow themselves to be used as political pawns; and that the message should be relayed in mosques. What's wrong with that? Should MURIC address Christians too? Isn't that already being done by CAN and various pastors?

People should be able to vote for the candidate of their choice, freely and without encumbrance. I may not agree with any individual's choice, but I'm solidly behind the message that everyone should get their PVC, regardless of faith. I know most Northerners will vote for PMB, but it would be the fault of the opposition for not convincing them to vote otherwise.

donstan18:
I can't train any lady in school with the hope of marrying her, I don't wish to date an illiterate, I just don't want liability, I can't tolerate or stress myself for any woman who's not my mum, sister or wife, I detest needy ladies, I hate pests, not from any lady.

But if I find what I want from a woman in an illiterate, I'll kindly marry her and get her pregnant before sending her to school.

I must have a reason to hold while training her in school, which is "She's my wife"

What you've said is very true, and I was thinking the same... however don't get her pregnant before school, because then she'll be out of commission for 3-4 years raising your child (and likely two or more)...

ironheart:
Make money in Nigeria spend abroad

Exactly... so many people traveling to spend money abroad... people here are complaining there's no jobs, no opportunities, yet there are many people making it in this Nigeria.

1 hour is not too much na...
The problem is most men don't know how to pace themselves. They go all hard for 10 minutes then expire. Same thing for a lot of ladies... they will start moving fast, then get tired after 4 minutes...

It's like sprinting vs marathon... if you want to go a far distance, don't run too fast. Since it's so sweet, me, I like to take my time and it depends on the situation and the lady.

If you want to last long, you have to increase your stamina by jogging or riding a bicycle on a regular basis. I can run continuously for over 1 hour without getting tired; so far as I pace myself well I can keep going. Also reduce alcohol and sugary foods.

OgogoroFreak:
Yeye people deceiving themselves.

If it took you this long to convince one man to do the right thing, how long would it take you to fix Nigeria? Six terms??

6 terms is just 24 years. If every leader from now did this consistently, each for 1 term or 2, we'd have a much better country. Any step in the right direction is positive, and much better than just accepting business as usual and retrogressing.

Where did I relate his looks with the state of the Economy?


Or do you have maggots in your brain?

Abeg no mind me... any mention of Buhari gets my blood boiling

Quite a lot of students bussed into this event. Is this a good or bad thing?

With all the rainfall, flooded roads, floating trash, spoiled cars, kekes, and now all these visitors, I need to get away for a while, to someplace drier and quieter.

buygala:
Much as I hate Buhari

I have to admit he looks good for his age

Freshest President ever liveth

Because looking fresh at 70 something (abi 80 something) is what we need to improve the economy. Da fuk?

Mariangeles:
Carry a pack of tetracycline and flagyl

Just use a capsule of tetracycline and 2 tablets of flagyl immediately after eating...you're welcome

Heheh, anytime I travel I carry these two medicines. Whether it's mama put in Ore, or akpu junction in Asaba, or amala spot in Ilorin, or fried plantain sold by the road, or street food in Kano, or just the stress of road travel in Naija, something must make you purge.

But three things I don't mess with again:
- pure water
- abacha
- shawarma

I traced some of my worst episodes to "pure water", and discovered I spent more money on medicine than I was saving, so no vex, I no dey tear sachet again. Abacha has been cooking in the sun, enabling all kinds of bacteria grow. Shawarma - especially that mayo and fresh veggies. Basically, if it's not cooked, I won't touch that street food.

E don tey wey Davido buy that car na, at least she would have been able to move it. Besides it's automatic

You want her to learn to drive using a Porsche?

Meanwhile in Nigeria, we would have been looking for village people to blame

Hard to believe this story, but there are bacteria in dog saliva that can be dangerous to humans (and vice versa)

Story story... STORY!!!

These are all the same reasons proffered for decamping to APC less than 4 years ago. Political prostitutes the whole lot of them.

Elxandre:
I'm confused here.
Wasn't it these same Basketball players who turned sports to a political tool, refusing to stand while the anthem is being played?

I hate hypocrites.

Strictly speaking, singing the national anthem or saluting the flag are political tools - used to reinforce allegiance to the country - and should have no place in sports. Well, since that part of a sports event has already been used for that purpose, why can't citizens also protest their government's actions?

Ironically, bending your knees and kneeling is a sign of deference and respect, and sometimes of mourning.
I'm going to quote this article from https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/the-psychology-of-taking-a-knee/

"... Kneeling is a sign of reverence, submissiveness, deference—and sometimes mourning and vulnerability. But with a single, graceful act, Kaepernick invested it with a double meaning. He didn’t turn his back as the anthem was played, which would have been a true sign of disrespect. Nor did he rely on the now-conventionalized black-power fist.

Rather, he transformed a collective ritual—the playing of the national anthem—into something somber, a reminder of how far we still have to go to realize the high ideal of equal protection under the law that the flag represents. The athletes who followed him are showing reverence for the song and the flag, but they are simultaneously deviating from cultural norms at the moment their knees hit the grass. "

In my view, he is appealing to the ideals of America - represented by the flag - and calling attention to the injustices being carried in his country. America was founded by protesters against a despot; its very core is protesting the evils of the day (which is now police brutality towards African Americans and an unjust justice system); the most patriotic thing an American can do is protect the ideals of America - and not allow the present government or public opinion to bully the person into submission.

FTC for the second time today....
No matter what people say, Trump remains one of the best presidents America has ever had. Fearless, bold, decisive, intelligent and a progressive.

Ironically, Trump is not the kind of person that could have envisioned or fought for American Independence. He's not the type of person that could have written its long-lasting Constitution, nor advocated for the Civil Rights that its citizens (of all colors) now enjoy. He could not have seen the country through the rough patches; could not have galvanized the US in its space race; doesn't believe in science and would not have funded nuclear science; would insist that public education should not be free; would have complained about funding the Internet in its early days; would not have instituted a lot of social safety nets that most Americans take for granted. He has only succeeded in pandering to his base of xenophobic racist white Americans who are realizing that America is not just "white only" anymore. Political power is shifting, and this is their last gasp.

His approach to "leadership" and "diplomacy" is to threaten, lie, bully, insult, and divide... a lot like PMB, funny enough.

My impression on things he has done so far:

tax cuts: heavily biased towards the wealthy that will end up spurring inflation and overheating that will eventually need to be curbed by the Fed, leading to the recession of 2019. https://www.businessinsider.com/tax-cuts-could-make-the-next-recession-worse-morgan-stanley-2018-4
Similar things happened under Bush Jr. (2000, 2008), and Bush Sr. (1990-1991)
Recessions have had a habit of occurring under Republican administrations...

health insurance: millions no longer have insurance, leading to higher costs for taxpayers when they get sick
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/studies-find-trump-health-care-will-drive-premiums-n852086

tarriffs: after slapping China and others with tarriffs, he's now giving farmers an unwanted subsidy to help them out since China retorted with tariffs on agricultural products (oh, and Brazil farmers are willing to gain market share https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-soybeans-china/u-s-soybean-exports-scrapped-as-china-shifts-to-brazilian-beans-idUSKCN1IJ2SG )

Diplomacy: insulting and angering UK, France, Canada, and many other longstanding friends just means they will start pivoting; in particular to China and to Japan (with whom they just signed a trade deal worth 1/3 of world GDP: https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/17/news/economy/eu-japan-trade-deal/index.html ).

All his activity look like a good way for America to lose its standing, economically and politically, if you ask me.

Patrioticooduan:
Guy, are sure you know what you are saying at all? How can America steal innovation from Europe when the same 'whites Americans' descend from there? Or you don't know Trump is of German and Scottist descent? America did not steal from Europe because the same people that made America come from Europe.

True, white Americans are from Europe. But when (e.g.) English engineers patent their ideas with the Crown, and suddenly American engineers are producing those same designs (remember, America had become a separate country 100 years prior), and the Brits accuse the Americans of stealing, well, I don't know what you'd call that.

When you search for "america stole british technology" on Google, you get about 10 million hits... I think the consensus is that the country "United States" acquired innovations from countries in Europe, mostly by stealing and ripping off the original.

What would you call it if several Chinese Americans (born and bred in USA, whose parents were also born and bred in US, to go back to 1930s), took US technologies without authorization and shared them with China? What if the Chinese-Americans were part of a team of American engineers who invented it? Would you say China acquired it legally? Why make the exception for European-Americans?

All is fair in politics. PDP is just complaining because they are the opposition. Please face yourselves and stop clouding my network with your arguments about which side is throwing mud today.

Sai Baba Worldwide has another achievement.

Even if we hate on him, we cannot deny this one.

Let love prevail.

For what? ... why is this an achievement? To increase the ease of importation? How is that an achievement? I'll quote flyca, who said it best:

flyca:
I see many foolish people rejoicing over nothing on this thread! Call me wailer or any other thing you wish. I use yuan directly and I know how it bites!

Immediately Buhari took over power, my parents couldn't pay my school fees anymore. Same with thousands on self-sponsored students here in China. Feeding and living allowance became war! The consolation is that "we had to suffer first and gain later". Is this eventually what it is

I'm really sad at this developement after two long years of waiting for Buhari's miracle.

You met yuan at 33 per naira. You pushed it up to 57, 58, at some point it was 60RMB per naira! Now we are supposed to be singing and clapping and jumping at 49 and 50naira? Is that madness

Please kindly take naira back to where you met me and don't tell me any oil prices nonsense!

Icon79:
Have you ever heard about the "Curse of Ham"?

Well, that might provide some answers to your question.

O pari

So you look to a book written by oyinbos (initially from Judea, and subsequently from Greece and Rome)... and expect it to be fair and balanced to non-oyinbos? At one time, not quite 800 years ago, Europe was the poorest and hungriest part of the world... Not quite 60 years ago the Korean peninsula was filled with agrarian poor peasants and now it has the 10th largest - and highly developed economy. The "Curse of Ham" could have been used to justify England's or South Korea's poverty, depending on who was reading the book and when: Arabs and Sudanese/Ghanians were considerably wealthier 800 years ago; and even Nigeria had a higher GDP per capita than South Korea in the 1960s.

If such different parts of the world could get off their ass and take destiny into their own hands, then there's no excuse for Nigeria, biblical or otherwise.

dometome:
They steal US technologies. They do not develop theirs. They steal from the US, it is one of the reasons why Trump is really against them.

To get to where it is today, US stole a lot of tech from Great Britain, France, and Germany when it was a developing country. Remember, the Industrial Revolution started in England, and so most of the tech of the day (steel production, steam engines, textile weaving, early computers, rocket engines), and most of this was done by espionage and flagrant copying. Look up the inventors of a lot of these things, you'll see names like James Watt, Henry Bessemer, Charles Babbage; all Brits.

For a quick insight:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2012/12/06/we-were-pirates-too/

Very few countries got to where they are without copying or without subsidizing its industries. The US is forgetting how it became a world industrial power, and is actually pushing itself off the world stage. If the US (Trump) is not careful with its trade protectionism and angering of old friends, China will leave them far behind over the next 50 years (China is the one doing a lot of infrastructure around the developing world, some countries are adding Yuan to their basket of currencies, and Europe has been shaking hands vigorously with China at Davos).

Quite right... Something the people bashing this statement need to understand: if this was a poor person, they'd be paraded and nearly hung for doing something so secular... no hijab or paintings, and remarkably Christian/Western. The same self-appointed critics are almost nowhere to be found when it concerns somebody of means... quite a double standard.

How about nigeria?

N3600 only, and anybody can be a Nigerian citizen. What you get in exchange:

- a ruling class that doesn't give a damn
- police that don't give a damn
- shittiest educational facilities
- all the mosquitoes your heart desires
- no light
- for an extra N50, no water because no light for your borehole pump
- or you can take the annual "no fuel" option
- a passport that will require extra scrutiny anywhere you want to go

Just think! What a bargain compared to other countries like Ghana or Cameroon.

Nice.

It's funny how fashion/makeup works: Japan late 1990s, meet Nigeria late 2010's. This highlighted nose, the hair color... the similarities are just interesting to note... What makes it even more so is that the aesthetic of these type of fashion (Gyaru mamba) was to tan and darken their skin, so seeing makeup in the two very different countries converging on the same choices makes me chuckle a bit
