With due respect to everyone's opinions; i think whipping a child is tantamount to child abuse and a centimetre shy of slavery.

The average Nigerian child experience their first abuse in the hands of those that should protect them. I might get insulted for this but ever wondered why the average Nigerian is so aggressive? If you disagree with them, they retort to insults? Even wondered why the average Nigerian is very afraid of telling the truth?

It all boils down to upbringing like the one we saw in the video posted earlier. Children are individuals with minds of their own and the best way to raise a child is to win that mind over with any means but intimidation and force.


We have to break the cycle of Abuse!!
We must evolve to a better and greater society!
When you flog a child, you are not teaching them to not repeat same mistake, you are teaching them to make sure they don't get caught!


I challenge every Nairalander to take a different discipline approach this week! If your child mess up, call him or sit, sit them down and explain to them why what they did is wrong and why they must never do it again!! Give them one week punishment of dish washing and take away their phone or game or whatever they really enjoy with the promise to return when they behave better!!
Agriculture / Re: Please Help! My Chicks Legs Are Getting Bent Day By Day!! by NiCurious: 6:48pm On Jul 20, 2020
I haven't experienced this with my flock, but it resembles either Slipped Tendon or Twisted Leg. Slipped Tendon is caused by insufficient B vitamins. Feeding appropriately formulated food for the age and breed will prevent more birds from being affected. It will not correct the current problem, but will prevent it from getting worse. If it is Twisted Leg, I don't know what to suggest. My chicken health manual advises against raising them on a wire floor, in any case.

Romance / Re: My Girlfriend Took My Phone And Uploaded Her Pictures On My Whatsapp Status by NiCurious: 5:15pm On Jul 19, 2020
Invasion of privacy. If I want partner's pics on my status, I will do the posting--after asking if they're okay with having their pics online, and choosing ones they like. Likewise, as I am a private person, I would hope they would ask me if I was okay with them uploading pics of me to their own status. Not about skeletons in the closet.

OP may or may not have skeletons, that's a secondary issue.

Phones are extensions of ourselves. They have lots of personal and private stuff on them. If someone allows you access to their phone, it's an act of trust (or of naivete). Honour that trust, don't abuse it. Posting your pics on someone else's status is like going to their house while they're away at work, without their knowledge or permission, and repainting their parlour in your favourite colour--which might not be a colour they like.

1. A phone is supposed to be a private property.

2. If you two are married however, there shouldn't be any secrets between you two.

3. As a gf, Where she went too far is by posting it herself. She should have politely asked you to post it if she wanted to prove your faithfulness to her.

4. It's good to define certain boundaries that are important to you in a relationship. For instance, you may be a very private person that doesn't like your business partners knowing about your relationships and family life.
5. If you love her, you should be able to forgive her and make her understand why you're not comfortable with such.

Family / Re: I Am Having Issues With My Brother’s Wife And Her Two Sisters by NiCurious: 1:50am On Jul 19, 2020
here:
Your picking wrong fight
Your brother is your only challenge. Do you want to be poisoned there or accused of rape. Your brother added 5yrs to you serving him and you dont see anything? What business is this and what is your plans if you go to the village? What has your parents said? What skill can you learn to become independent. Can you raise money from home to come start yours. I would have said ignore and focus but your brother arbitrarily changing when he settle you is wrong and you might serve and be sent out eventually. Try to figure out a way for yourself that makes you make progress as i see no future with your brother

Red flag to me is that the elder brother doesn't want OP moving out (while still serving) a little before the original term of service which he now can't settle, yet he feels it is okay to extend the term of service for another five to seven years. By then OP will have spent half his life in service to his brother, without a guarantee of being settled. Even if the elder brother means well, the way the wife seems to control him, there will likely not be anything available with which to settle the OP, should he manage to stay that long--my gut feeling. OP can sleep at least sleep in the shop until the end of the original agreement, and hope that he can be settled. Accept settlement whenever it might arrive. Meantime, save well, plan life, and leave at the appointed time.

Thanks I agree with you because he promised to settle me when I am 25 years old with a huge amount of money to start up my own business and then he changed his mind that he has had spent a lot of money during his wedding and building his house that he don’t think he will be able to settle me again in 2 years time that I should wait when I am 28-30 he will give me double of the amount he promised me . But the way things are going I don’t think I will get anything from him I can only leave for the village I don’t have any trusted friend to stay with in Abuja I also don’t have any money to rent my own place , village is my only option . Yes he is my blood brother we are 5 in total 2 boys and 3 girls he is our first born and I am the last

I'm sorry to say, it sounds like your brother is playing you. Bait and switch. If I am proved wrong I will joyfully apologize, but his words and (in)actions so far make me not trust him. Even if he has no ill will toward you, he lacks discipline and planning skills. In five to seven years when you are 28-30, he still won't be able to pay you because he will have his children's school fees to pay; you should wait until you are 35...see how it will go? :/

They were doing all this to frustrate me I think she brought them to the house with a mission to frustrate me so I can leave , the funny part is they don’t come to clean only to watch tv and making all kind of noises to disturb my sleep and if I am awake they will go back to their room to sleep till noon. These girls has never help around the house when I am around , I do everything mopping , sweeping , washing dishes when they around pressing phone my brother doesn’t say anything to them. I asked him if he is right for me to do all these chores when we have his wife sisters at home , he said before he married I was the one doing it and why am now I complaining , I told because it doesn’t sound right for me to be doing chores when the girls are busy pressing phone, anyway there is more but not everything is good to say on social media. If he refuse renting a place for me I think I will go back to the village because I am short tempered I don’t want to stay in the same house with that mannerless small girl because I don’t want to do something stupid that will land me to prison for life . I prefer to be in the village than staying somewhere where I am not comfortable

Excellent. You know what you want to do, now go do it.

Your brother will discover your worth in your absence, and be forced to deal with the useless sisters, himself, when you are not there to make things easy for him. Maybe the marriage will end, maybe not, but your brother will be forced to man up at last, and face his household. Not painting you as an angel, but it was not you who brought home the wife and sisters, so don't feel guilty while he deals with the results of his decision-by-default.

Some people have wisely said that peace of mind, even in modest circumstances, is something to be treasured. Someone else said that you don't know your potential until you step out of your comfort zone. I know from experience that these statements are true. You are 23. Time comes to leave father and mother...and brother...and set out to be your own man.

Health / Re: My Failed Lasik Surgery Experience by NiCurious: 9:47pm On Jul 15, 2020
After reading the title of your post, I am relieved to learn that you need only postpone your surgery until your eyes have relaxed back to their natural state. I was worried that something had gone horribly wrong with the surgery, and your eyesight was worse than before! I know several people who have had laser eye surgery, and after their recovery, they said they wished they hadn't waited so long to do it.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Lagos Trains 450 Entrepreneurs In Coconut ‘Waste To Wealth’ Initiative (Photos) by NiCurious: 4:59pm On Jul 14, 2020
Nice initiative to hone skills and creativity. Can the Waste To Wealth initiative also be scaled up and scaled out?
Scaling up: chipped coconut shells can be exported in bulk as landscape mulch. Not the highest value item, but doesn't require much effort to produce, and can bring in foreign money for a waste product.
Scaling out: Can the Waste To Wealth initiative be expanded to deal with waste plastics? If a use were found for waste plastics, that would reduce rubbish in the streets and creeks, reduce flooding caused by plastic-blocked drainages, and provide employment in collecting, sorting, and re-manufacturing of something that is at the moment just a noxious nuisance.

2. Would the groom cheat on his wife for a million naira? Or maybe even less?

He still deserves some accolades. He is only bewildered that he himself could make such move and I hate to bring this into the discussion but that guy is black who just a white kid. Americans should forget race and kick out racism cos its the only thing that's keeping them from being truly great.

I think the Blanks just ran in to do what needed to be done in the situation, and didn't care what colour the kid happened to be. For all the people commenting on "saving a white kid", is it of any interest or relevance to you that the child's father is black?

UyaiIncomparabl:
Who can proffer a solution for me? I am totally tired! I usually cannot seem to have a goodnight's rest. If I am not in a pool of different species of large snakes, I am always on the run because one is always after me. Fortunately for me, I am never harmed by them.

Dream interpreters and what have you, I need help. I have prayed countlessly but prayers don't seem to be working because the dreams usually resurface. I have suffered from this dilemma since I was 10. I really need help, please.

Someone made a sly comment of either being an "ogbanje" or a snake goddess but I can't still seem to wrap my head around such erroneous suggestion. cool

I see this about a need to confront your fears, instead of running away from them. Not literal snakes, but challenges you are afraid to meet, opportunities that you don't feel prepared for...go on, man up (or woman up) and tackle what your life is offering you.
Romance / Re: be good to everybody by NiCurious: 8:34pm On Jul 11, 2020
What were you doing in such a club, yourself, just curious?

One lie begets another, one secret begets another.
You can either keep your mouth shut and keep your peace, or you can give your cousin the facts, and let him make his own decisions.
Maybe your cousin is okay with his fiancee lapdancing. Maybe not. Not a good way to start off a marriage, though, hiding the truth from one another.

Which would you prefer if you were in your cousin's shoe?

shocked 42kg only!!! What is your height?
Assuming that you have the means to buy food...eat good proteins--meat, fish, eggs, beans--exercise (lift weights, do press-ups, etc.) and build muscle, so that the weight you put on is healthy weight, and will serve you well. Also, eat plenty fruits and vegetables, but avoid beer, bread, indomie, or other empty calories.
But, why are you so lean to begin with? I assume that you eat. Is your body not metabolizing the food that you put into it? I suggest buying some Vitamin B12 pills, preferably methylcobalamine, which you take daily, to help your intestines absorb...see if that helps. Your body will excrete the methylcobalamine that it does not need.
Best wishes on your weight gain, please post back on your progress in a few months. Don't want to hear that you blew away in a strong wind!

So very avoidable.
1. The event was already over, no need to continue travelling.
2. Overloading a boat.
3. No lifejackets worn.
Basic watercraft safety: don't overload a boat. Overloading can cause it to capsize. Everyone wear a life jacket, even those who can swim. That way, if the boat does capsize, your head is above water, and you are visible to rescuers.
A terrible situation, and utterly needless.

BluntNigerian:
Copied From IGBO RANT HQ Group on Facebook



Please ma post and hide my ID... Notify me when posted...

I don't know what is happening to me, I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing. I want to know if there's anyone in the group who has similar case or knows anything about it, because I am tired of this...

Okay this is it, any one who hurts me end up meeting terrible fate in a short time. I can count alot of them, it is more than a mere coincidence.

If I cry because of someone, I end up hearing a negative or Terrible news that concern them sooner than later. I remember when a man lied to people in his dialect against me, in my presence o. I didn't understand, when I later found out, I was bittered, I cried that night and went to meet him the next morning, i told him, sir because you lied against me, someone that is old enough to be your daughter, you caused me tears, you will shed double. It didn't reach two months, his two daughters died, I regretted my statement. I have been robbed in my house where I live alone, I cried terribly and cursed those people that they will never know peace, they returned my property by themselves and as I speak to you, they are behind bars. I can only mention but a few, there was also a period my ex slapped me publicly, over something that isn't serious, I cried bitterly and he was too proud to apologise, he had his Visa then, he travelled and he was sent back in less than a month.

This is serious as I speak to you, I don't know if this is natural, I know things happen coincidentally but in my case, it keeps repeating itself... I can't count all of them. When I was a kid I didn't take it serious, it even made me laugh but now It gives me great concern.

Okay the last one that happened now is this, I am dating this guy for a while now, his business was blooming well, I do come around and do some chores for him and sometimes use my money to cook for him but one day, in a middle of an argument, he called me a prostitute in front of his friends which I am not, I didn't know what gave him the motivation. I cried so much, I used sell stuffs on pre order then, and it pained me that I used my sweat to cook for him and he ate it that may all his sweat yield no effort. I said it in private. After a couple of time we reconciled but now, his business has died off... Nothing he is doing seems to work. I can't even tell him anything about it.

This is really more than a coincidence, it has repeated itself time after time. sometimes I tend to forgive people quickly and overlook things because I don't know what might follow if I think it too hard and cry over it...

Please, I want the group to tell me what to do? I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. I need answer

I really don't think you're causing these misfortunes to happen to others. By the time they are desperate enough to steal, to lie against you, to assault people in public, no less--they are already in a downward spiral. You are not the only one they are doing thee things to. Police actually do their job sometimes, to catch thieves. Visas are taken from those who don't respect the laws of the issuing country. Businesses fail. I don't know what happened regarding the two daughters that died, but perhaps that would have happened anyhow if you hadn't cursed the man, but you did, you have made a connection.

That's interesing. I was looking at it from supply and demand viewpoint, but you're right it might necessarily work in this space.
Who knows how innovation in solar technology would change how power is distributed in the not so distant future. In fact, homes will be able to engage in power-sharing in the future. Something I just got to know about a week or so ago.


Words that cheer the heart. Neighbourhood solar power generation, community grids, do not require waiting and waiting for government and big distribution companies to organize themselves. They do require cooperation and contracts among neighbours. But think of the local power independence. Well worth following up on, further!
