Why d idiot the deny?

It's just for show and popularity, but it's rooted deeply in the psychology of celebrity-by-vote:

By giving the impression that he is romantically unattached, he stokes interest and attention in women - who will start discussing and pinning their romantic fantasies on him - resulting in a fan base that will be loyal to him and yield better votes.

On the other hand, if he's known to be married, their interest wanes and he no longer has any particular advantage over anybody else...

But our Instagram diggers sha...

How many members do these parties have? Every week some thousands are decamping.

I expect news where these members decamp, have decamped, un-decamped, re-decamped all in search of their own personal pockets. Smh

I wanted to ask this question last week but I remembered a topic was created sometimes ago and it makes front page but seems the op missed the topic or is a new nairalander

If a plane is travelling to UK when the baby is born the baby is definitely a UK citizen and if the baby comes to the world and he was born while coming from US to Nigeria then he is definitely a Nigeria born

Depends of course on the nationality of the parents... that takes precedence.

If you're a pregnant Nigerian living in US, why would you get on a flight to Nigeria before you deliver?

Depends on the situation.

For some countries, citizenship is granted on basis of blood (i.e. your parents, no matter where, and what vessel).

Then in addition, some countries (e.g. US) grant citizenship if child is born in or over its territories.

And third, depending on where the plane is registered (if the country is signatory to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness agreement), said child is a citizen of the country of registry.

Wait oh... $100 million?!?

Wait make I faint small...

How much is the sum of civil servants' salary in all of Naija? E reach $100million?

Well, at least he's earned it, and is savvy to make sure he gets the lion's share of profit from his fight.

I'll get slut shamed anyway
Real men pay up without you asking,

That's right... sluts get banged for free, and ladies get paid. You're a lady, I presume.
Even the lady bird gets paid in ants and worms, so men, do the needful... think of it like watching Arsenal at the beer palour... it's entertainment and you pay to enter

OneCorner:
Leave those men alone with ur wife na.
Patapata, they will fvck her and at the end of d day, she's still yours again.

Abi wetin I talk no make sense ni

You're right oh... it took me a minute to fully process it. After all, if a wife wants to stray... she will find excuse, but she sha will come back after obgeni is tired of her. Unless she carry belle... that one is a different kettle of fish...

That's how joystick will go and find another pair of eyes that will appreciate it.
I'm just saying...

linearity:
I don’t thing that is the case here.

From the writup, the lady is aware of the up coming wedding and they both are preparing towards it.

He must have pop the question about wanting to marry her informly and casually and the lady must have agreed, given the fact that she is preparing for the marriage.

Her beef seem to be that, there was no formal marriage and most likely, no ring.

Oh ok... heh, he made his bed already and must now lie in it.

This what I say to guys all the time... if you don't want this to be a point of argument everytime you do something unrelated (like leave your socks outside to dry, or add extra salt to your soup) just fulfill her expectations. Basically, if you try to shortcut the proposal/marriage/knee thing... it will come back to disturb you in very unexpected ways. This is a case of dot your I and cross your T.

Even if your wife/fiancee is OK with it... by the time she hears her peers gushing how Tony got on bended knee for Tope, or she reads in several magazines, or on Nairaland... something will start worrying her. Forget that other guys say they didn't do a formal proposal. Do your own, and at least, you can remove that as a source of quarrel for the rest of your life.

FromZeroToHero:
I recently had a little quarrel with my fiancee and she said I'm making her to have double mind over our forthcoming wedding. She even said that she can remember that I never asked her to marry me which means I did not propose her which is true. Is it mandatory that a guy must propose to a woman before marriage?

Nothing is mandatory oh... but there are expectations from her and her peers... it's up to you to choose which battles you want to fight, and which ones you want to lose so you'll have peace. This one is a very easy one: propose, get on one knee, give ring, etc so she can shame her enemies
It's not too late and you can still make it romantic, so she'll have something to boast to her friends and tell her kids.

At least you won't have spent time arguing about it or reading our responses on Nairaland.

So... how do you tell a lady you want to marry her?

The alternative is you just setup the wedding, tell your people, tell her people to keep it secret, and drag her to it unwittingly? I don't get...

Solmax:
OMG
I just followed the link and read the whole article.
It is surprising and sad that most of the stock fish we eat today is still being Imported!!!
Something we can produce locally

Normally I would totally agree about importing food, but in this case, the fish are dried out by the cold and dry climate of Norwegian winter... something that's hard to obtain here. There are many things that we can produce locally with what we have on ground, but we'd have to have large fridges with constant power for months... this would only make Nigerian stockfish really expensive.

Maybe we can roast our cod, the same way we make dried fish (catfish)

See what Korea creates... Korea that was a rural wasteland until 1960s and poverty-stricken colony to Japan before that.

I weep for my country to realize that another 50 years from now, we probably will still be importing equipment ... perhaps this time from Kenya

You can tweet but you won't be heard... aren't our LGA chairmen, governors, senators using these same bad roads?

It's sad that I've not been to other countries which are right next door. Even in Nigeria sef, I've mostly visited SW and Abuja. I should travel more...

ClitoPen:
5 cars...

5,2,4,7,10

Modified: So we don reach fp at last

If you move 2 up, it will block #4 which needs to move two spots to allow 7 and 10.

1. move #8 left
2. move #2 down
3. move #4 left twice
4. move #10 up twice
5. move #7 up

Self-serving, and jumping at any chance. I used to back Atiku as a viable replacement for Buhari, but now I want all these old guard to go. They have done their best (for which they get D or C). From the sitting president, the letter-writing ex-president, and the vulture (I mean, ex-vicepresident), they should all just go and drink palmwine someplace.

Benekruku:
God bless His Excellence, President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR)

2023 Ascerta!


I dont how wailers will cope till 2023!

Earlier you believe the reality, the better. Stroke and high blood pressure is not cured in Nigeria.

Partisanship aside... are you saying that Buhari should continue leading till 2023, because he has actually done well in his first term to deserve a second? Do you think it's possible the country would benefit from a different leader instead? I mean, no matter who is elected, I doubt you or I would personally benefit from contracts or anything, so why are people so vested in continuing with someone under whose leadership the country has suffered?

If you can point to solid reasons why he should continue, I'm all ears.

No problem. There's lots of land in the North, and fewer tsetse flies, so colonies should be setup there. And then, using the working train system (hah hah, yes I know, funny ), cows are sent down South for slaughter.

In my opinion, all this nomadic lifestyle must stop... welcome to the 21'st century, where cows are kept on ranches.

What's the allocated space for it. ?
07036341294

The entire kitchen countertop is 1.2m wide, 0.55m deep (front to wall), and 0.9m high. I'll contact you on WhatsApp

EndiaSami:
Happy New year bro.

25 inches length.
18.15 inches width.
8.30 inches depth.
3 inches drain opening.

35000
Faucet: 5500

It's a very durable sink, highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and discoloration, and easy to maintain also. However in cleaning the ware, harsh chemicals are not advised. The normal liquid dish soap with soft napkin to wipe.
For a fitting faucet, this will do. Or the long neck type for sinks.

Thank you... this is a bit large for the space we have... 25 inches... Pls what is the smallest of this composite type that you have (or can source)?

Big boy?..

Abi...? But this is a much better catch that all those grandmas. At least you don't need a towel or paper bag for this one, if you get my drift

What Trump forgot to tell us is that his government takes as tax (income, sales, and property), up to 40% of the income of everyone, including hardworking immigrants. If it wasn't for immigrants like our professor here (and from Europe and other places), the US would not be as successful as it is. And more to the point, how many Americans do you think can save enough money to build a house in a different country, with cash (not mortgage?)

It's not the physical attributes of Nigerian women we're complaining about, it's the mental and personality issues. If you can make them more independent, less demanding, less argumentative, with a sense of humour, then you have a better shot.


*Note: I'm not saying women should be docile or something else chauvinist... after all I also prefer my male friends be independent, less demanding, and less argumentative. I just want a chill person I can hang out with who can take care of themselves - man or woman.

chidexy:
You can calculate the volume of the water tank
V =3.14*r²*h

Trouble is he's got neither 'r' nor 'h', based on the picture.

Happy New year bros EndiaSami,

Please what are the dimensions (including depth) of this sink? Please quote a price for the sink and of this faucet. We'd like to buy two sets for our hostel, and anticipate getting more of the same should they work out.

What's your experience with cleaning the composite sinks? Do they show signs of wear more than the stainless steel?

Feel free to also suggest a similar faucet that might fit this sink better without being too large or too small.

Thank you.

Bwahahaha. So funny

All these are on point!

You haven't been hanging around the same Ghanaian girls I've been hanging around or perusing the right instagrams.

Disclaimer: People will say this is body shaming, but she called for it:

erm... I would be very surprised if this one got raped.

Now that I've said that and have your attention, I want to reiterate that rape is a serious issue that must not be trivialized - either by men seeking to score a cheap joke, or by women like her boasting about how fly they look. Nobody deserves to be raped, and I fully support punishment for perpetrators. Rape is not a just "punishment for dressing sexily", or "inevitable because she was alone with you". If you disagree with what you're looking at or feel you can't control yourself, just look away, walk away, control your urges and abstain from calling names.

vigasimple:
With all due respect, you come across as a pessimist short term thinker.

The country has endured the present system for over 50years. Maybe it is time to try new thing.

The people asking for restructure are all well over 65years, so, not only they have the experience, but they are in their retirement years, they are fighting for the youth future.

They have set out their points and warn them Yoruba youths not to vote for a joke called Buhari, they did not listen, now they are paying the price.

A one million Buhari cannot rescue the youths of Nigeria because he hasn't got what it takes to do so.

Kudos to the Elders. They have said there own on record, whether or not the youths follows , it is their own future and it's up to them.

Is it the system/constitution or leaders? What stopped all the representatives, businessmen, intellectuals, governors, senators, from transforming Yorubaland into a fantastic region where everyone is gainfully employed, factories are abundant, water flows, hospitals are well equipped, schools are functional? Are these not state responsibilities? Is it Abuja that decides how primary schools are run? Is it Abuja that is responsible for ensuring pipe-borne water? Is it Abuja's fault that my former governor (Ibori) absconded with billions of dollars while our youths turn to cultism, or that Obasanjo and Tinubu turned the public purse into their own private account? How will they suddenly transform Oduduwa when they'll be doing the same things they have done for 65 years? Past performance remains the best predictor of future performance.


*Ogun and Lagos states have certainly tried, that I will commend

Guestlander:
I'm not sure I read it anywhere in the post where violence was mentioned. There you go again being dishonest.
If Yoruba no longer wish to be part of the federation which is not what the advert is saying then I challenge you to come and stop them with your "superior firepower"

Two things:

1. What does "give me what I want or else..." mean? If the Federal Government refuses to restructure, didn't the article mention using all means to achieve its aim? Let's not play naiive... violence is implied. Even a child understand what this threat means... an ass wuppin.

2. Let's be serious. The Federal Government has superior firepower, and when the chips are down, the UN respects firepower much more than it respects documents and declarations (as history has shown). In other words, if Oduduwa is serious, he should arm himself very very very well.

If violence is not being implied, then of what use is the threat? "Restructure Nigeria or We Leave" is not child's play, it's supposed to pique attention.
It's not the same as "Restructure Nigeria or We Ask Nicely Again". My position throughout this thread is that there are much better alternatives to this, and I've outlined them.

I'm afraid the people who will suffer the most are not the people writing or publishing the advert. It will be me and you, our friends, families, children, and other people just like us. And if the Federal Government should see fit to pad a few envelopes or give a few choice positions, we'll find the voices of these leaders surprisingly quiet. I'm not casting aspersions on Yoruba leadership, but I can't help but recall that Ojukwu - our champion (and I say that with bitterness) didn't stay around to die like some members of my family as did so many of "his people". I can't help but recall US and UK selling arms and help enforce blockades that starved millions (right to self-determination indeed). I also can't help but recall how members of MEND became wealthy and the people on whose behalf they said they were fighting for... well, those are still wallowing in oil-slicked poverty. Where is Kanu? Why are the North-Eastern elites helpless/complicit in that region?

Like I said, I will apply for visa to Oduduwa after the dust clears, just like people apply to US (which had its own civil war of succession which was won by Unionists - who wanted to keep the country together), and UK (which has had a long string of civil wars; the most recent with the IRA, again, essentially won by the the government who wanted to keep Northern Ireland in the UK), or to Spain, which too has kept the secessionist Catalonia at bay)
