Anuty Mercy Johnson why didnt go and change that your nose that looks like obasanjo pant? Instead of condemning bad thing you are there saying rubbish

Chai... you too get mout... It's funny though...

But seriously, Mercy is one of the few really good hearts out there...

Derawiz:
I've seen over 50 throwback pictures of buhari here on Nairaland but not one throwback of him with his certificate

But seriously, I can understand why the uneducated masses voted for him, but why did all those ones with degrees decide that he was the messiah? See now... At least I'm glad he has had his chance to prove he's no magician, so we can all rest from the "if only Buhari became president" hand wringing.

ClitoPen:
Notify me when you retire healthy the way you started then I ll doff my hat for you

You could say the same for the poo-packer, sewage unblocker, cement pan carrier, coal miner, boxer, and other people working in dangerous fields... they also put their bodies at risk, but take precautions.

But in other news, omo see free advertising... me ma sef want to check out the site
At first I started calculating 2.3M per year/5k per client = 460 clients. Divide that by 25 days of work per month that's 19 clients/day. Then I realized she makes 2.3M PER MONTH? Chai! Konji has got to be the world's largest employer... and from the looks of it, she's also pimpin out girls online/offline... see correct business. Ghana should start taxing these girls oh

Good one. Bae is very fine. Hope you will continue to cherish and look at her the same way after 10 years.

AmoryBlacq:
Why should this be celebrated and made news?

The airline said, “In a country where few women have
dared to enter the highly male-dominated profession

implying, having few women in that profession is no fault of anyone save the women who refused to be daring!

Flip the coin, if these were men would we be reading this?

my point, gender equality is a mirage!

Wrong. It implies sexism, lack of opportunity/education, chauvinism and backwards mentality of society at large (by men and women), who would pull down any girl who dreams of being in the profession.

Here are some comments that I imagine girls and women are told:
"You want to what? please, nobody wants to marry a girl who can't..."
"You know you're not smart in math, so don't even try"
"I can't marry a woman who travels a lot... who will cook my food"
"It's too expensive to train you in this field"
"Ah... female pilot? The plane will crash! Don't even"
"Eh fine girl... why do you want to study so hard? Just be beautiful and your prince will come"

So before castigating women for not "daring", ask what message their society is telling them. I'm yet to hear of one story of a woman who achieved a major professional goal without overcoming a lot of negativity (up to and including... "she must have slept with someone to get that post". For men, on the other hand, nobody questions their abilities or dreams (based on gender).

Gender equality is about giving both genders the same opportunities, training, encouragement. It's even about making the same comments (nobody insinuates that an all-male crew will smell like stinky socks or unwashed balls, or that the flight will somehow be in jeopardy because of competition or hormones)

So you see everybody dancing without shoes on a wooden floor someplace in Asia... instead of realizing it's a custom to take off shoes in order to avoid scuffing and keep it clean (and in some cases, for religious purposes) it's seen as some other type of commentary on PMB. Wha?

HtwoOw:
Gas cylinder ignited by phone?

It must be village people

You're given a perfectly valid scientific sequence of events, and off you go dragging in the spiritual.

For the same reason we're advised not to get in/out of the car while pumping gas, or smoke cigarettes at the pump, etc..

In dryer climates, you can generate static electricity by motion (cloth rubbing on body), which is then discharged upon contact with a metal object, like a car or pump. The discharge causes a spark which can ignite the fumes of gas or petrol. She might have accidentally caused some static discharge (though I don't know what the phone had to do with it). It doesn't happen too often, but as you can see, it does happen.

It's unfortunate it happened (RIP to her), and in saner countries, there'd be an investigation into the leakage.

nrexzy:
Here the brits are again... Not joining the losing side... Cos they know nigerian dividing they would loss all access to Oil...

This makes no sense... it would actually benefit them more because they can simply drive a harder bargain for a bigger share of oil revenue with a new, smaller country that needs to accumulate foreign exchange and build infrastructure. New capital, new currency, new embassies, new army, new power stations, new everything... who will benefit from building, funding and loaning these? The Brits and Chinese for sure...

Handsomecole:
Where is her husband ??

Still searching for his wife apparently. Why do we ask about a (single) successful woman's husband, but not do the same for single men?

HBD Nini baby... muah!

Why before Christmas? Why not mid January when far fewer people are traveling?
We just close things anyhow without considering how it affects the country (people, economics, logistics).

The funny thing about these throwback pictures is that they really show the state of improvement in Nigeria in general, not just of an individual.

And the funny thing is all these CBN people will be spraying money at their own events... kwa?

So much hatorade... who cares what they graduated with? You know what they call the person who graduated from medical school with the worst grades? Doctor. Yes, so far as you graduate, you get that title.

Congrats to them tho... wish I knew where they were going to practice, so I can be collecting my medicine and getting my accounts done

Alcatraz005:
We thank God but what is the FRSC doing about the spate of accidents on our roads?

This is getting too much and we are losing valuable Human Resources to needless and avoidable accidents.

I just tire for this Nigeria! God help your people ooo

All that needs to happen is for drivers to get some sleep, leave on time, slow down. There are posted speed limits, and road conditions should inform how fast you drive. No need bringing FRSC or God into a matter that is easily resolved.

So unfortunate... I can just imagine all the hustling, hard work, disappointment, planning, struggles, successes, setbacks, hopes, dreams, plans for children, and so on... just cut short by a stroke. This could happen to anyone at anytime, and it reinforces the fact that in our busy, we have to make time to enjoy life a bit, because we never know when our time is up.

RIP Igwe Henry Ekwueme. I pay my respects.

His father's money

He may be OBO, but he also has his own.

baby124:
The great impregnator. He is on the move again. That girl better go on birth control. Tufiakwa.

But that baby is what she wants... a steady paycheck for the rest of her life, sad to say

*of course we're making many assumptions and aspersions on the girl, I don't mean her specifically, just that that's what many "fans" are after.

GavelSlam:
But why no sea port in the East?

Because the leadership of the East still keeps talking marginalization when they should be united, making political allies in the Federal Gov't, harnessing the immense wealth of the industrialists, and taking matters into their own hands. The other elites are off in the SouthWest and abroad, developing those places.

NwaAmaikpe:

Her husband is gay.
Since he has not found her sexy enough to get her pregnant.

Ah ah... must you have children so early in a marriage? Why not spend 2-3 years enjoying married life before adding the headaches of young children in the mix? Because once you do, it's non-stop mayhem for at least 18 years between child #1 and child #4 where you and your wife will hardly have time for each other. I should know, I have 4.

edoman2016:
There is no problem if Rochas give him the 500,000 from his personal money. But if it is from the money meant for IMO state, then Rochas's brain needs to be formatted.

"His personal money"? Hah hah haha hah
It's easy to part with money that's not yours. Just hope his department won't frustrate him and say he should share that money before they release his papers

Cjrane2:
Bloody liars.
Rochas will NEVER patronize INNOSON.

He is only bringing this lie to cool people down about his Keke ban.

people should not fall for the lie.
INNOSON can also make KEKE if they truly want to patronize the company.

Too true... after all Innoson can also make kekes. They are very portable and can go places buses and cars can't. Plus the fare is cheaper.
Is Imo going to fix all the roads so that they are passable after rains? Because governor can navigate around in his SUV without issue, he should not forget that those small small tires and low clearance on these buses can't achieve what his SUV can.

stuffs4me:
You are a mad man. You are a raving mad for spewing these trash. Under no condition is a man or woman allowed to abuse his or her spouse like this. You and that demonic woman deserve to rot in jail.

See how quickly you rose to anger? Why? I was not condoning her behaviour nor supporting her (which I thought was clear in my post), but there's a lot of things that cause somebody to lash out, and what we need is more introspection rather than condemnation.

There's been a rise of cases (or at least reporting) of spousal abuse and murder... the question is why is this rising in society, because if all we do is punish without understanding, we won't be able to prevent it.

Nice... though I had higher expectations from Waje... The first 5 seconds were promising "for your love love love... ", then it went downhill into the same beat and lyrics that have come to characterize Naija pop.

Gathering dust...

So I will buy petrol, to run a generator, to charge an electric car...
when I can just put the petrol in a regular car...

White/church wedding is oyinbo traditional ceremony
What we call traditional wedding is African traditional ceremony.

They are both traditional to their places of origin, and so just as valid. So far as the couple and witnesses accept the validity of the wedding, and the couples are sincere in there hearts, I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you have to have a wedding in a "church", officiated by a priest, before it's valid in the eyes of God.

You just need an officiant and witnesses. The couple's patriarchy (or matriarchy in Ghana) is the officiant in African traditional ceremonies, both sides agree to the marriage, bless it, bind it.

Don't let the traditions of Europeans confuse you.

People picking up bush meat anyhow... not knowing what it has eaten, where it has trodded, what might have bitten it in the past. Carry on... isn't this how the various viruses start their epidemics?

The target is lucky.

There are trusted platforms for selling online: Amazon, eBay, craigslist, olx.
Verify money has hit your account first before sending item. Simple. If it turns out to be fraud, hit that complaint button.
Was she trying to avoid paying eBay fees? Which is technically a scam as she's listed the item there, but didn't want to conclude the sale there.

I'd say the target was trying to walk herself into a scam by trying her own Naija wururu to save a few bucks on fees.

I'm not condoning her behaviour, but instead of blaming her for her outburst, why aren't we asking what kind of pressure she must have been enduring for years? The years of possible verbal and physical abuse that she keeps to herself. Women silently endure a lot, and I've seen many men take advantage of their position as provider, not knowing that they are the ones digging their own graves, one insult at a time.

Wasn't one of Buhari's criticisms of GEJ the amount of debt? Looks like PMB says one thing and does another, in every economic decision.

The gateman was housed, fed, clothed, and so on right...? Why is he saying he wasn't paid?
If he had to pay for all those things, plus transport to work, he'd still have net zero in his account.


But madam Bob, do the needful and pay your ex his arrears

See what I did there?

But seriously, I need to be careful when I enter club these days, never know what gender one might jam...
Carry girl, when she remove makeup you notice bia bia

EnkayDezign:
How dare you judge buhari about writing a book when you can’t spell ‘neither’ ??!

That's why authors hire editors, spell checkers, and other misc. staff. That's so easy even computers can autocorrect. Actually putting ideas to paper is the hard part, and hatchy is right, Harry Bubu is neither author nor economist, nor (sadly), competent nor humble enough to hire the right professionals to do the job ministers are supposed to do

Nice... so I will look forward to lining up for 10+ hours at NNPC again this year? Or spend 5 hours at gas station, occasionally fighting with other people to get fuel while one oga will come and fill his tank and his jerrycans?
If I'm lucky I will avoid adulterated fuel.

Oil producer indeed. I swear if government was in charge of making air we would have all suffocated to death. Even water they can't provide regularly. Shame
