A Straight person can't be Gay.
A Gay person can't be Straight.
A Bisexual person can't be only Straight or Gay.

All the above persons are born that way. So it's not your fault you're Gay, the same way it wasn't my fault I'm Straight.
Enjoy your life my friend.

I hope one day, we'll have literate leaders who'll not persecute you for being born Gay.

Because the Exchange Rate has reduced the amount of money to loot.

Hello people, my friend works in the bank and also running her post graduate program in the same state. She will be starting her exams very soon but her boss won't allow her go for it, and she has been pleading with her (boss) but to no avail, now she(my friend ) is contemplating on resigning.

Please advice me on what to tell her. 'Jobs no easy to come bye oh.'

If her boss refuses then she should leave the job. Any job that intentionally blocks you from growing academically is not a good job.
Before you quit, you may want to consult a person who is a boss (Manager or Director or senior supervisor, etc) over your boss, if your boss is not the overall boss.

All the ships were bought as craps and then repainted. They're all more 70 years and I wonder where the 1 trillion naira annual budget goes.

Ab*oki id*iots murdered him. The same Northerners ruined this country with the blind willing help of their yoruba minions.

The project called, Nigeria, will never be a better place, disintegration is the only answer.

I was enveloped with utter amazement and disbelief at the baseless sentiments being peddled on this forum by members of the opposition, that the recent US trip embarked upon by President Buhari was entirely fruitless and a waste of resources. That assertion could have been correct and be categorized as a product of sanity if not for the following facts:

1. PMB honoured an invitation.

The first point to note President Buhari did not just embark on the trip for sightseeing or primarily to go and seek for weapons, but the visit was in honour of President Barrack Obama’s invitation on the strength of our president’s local and international goodwill. Thus international goodwill is as a result of the president’s acclaimed integrity, discipline and incorruptibility. This goodwill largely accounted for the way Buhari and his entourage were accommodated in Blair’s House, which serves as a site for “American Diplomacy” during the visit. This shows the esteem with which Buhari is held on account of this goodwill considering the fact that previous visiting Nigerian leaders never had such luxury treatment.

2. External Support for Policy Formulation & Execution

Indeed international partners had a rare opportunity to engage Nigeria on a new beginning given the fact that ministers are yet to be appointed and key policies are still being worked out, their input would definitely contribute to the shaping of this new governments policies, which would also make it more likely that we will have their full support in the execution of such policies. The input from potential investors and Biz executives at the recent meeting with Buhari in Washington is a case in point.

3. Diplomatic Ties

There are also diplomatic consequences of the visit. It has the prospect of strengthening diplomatic relations of both countries. Obama has never visited Nigeria in his almost eight-year-tenure. This is not best for the image of Nigeria as the greatest black African Nation. Buhari’s visit may have provided a convenient platform for Obama to reciprocate the gesture by undertaking a visit to Nigeria in no distant future.

4. Recovery of Foreign Loot
Nigeria also requires assistance in retrieving stolen wealth stashed in some American commercial banks or covert agencies. There are strong indications and suggestions that some of these loots have been deployed in the purchase of expensive and expansive estate in Washington D.C. and its environs particularly the State of Maryland. As a result of this visit, the United States said it will assist Nigeria in locating and returning funds stolen by corrupt government officials.

5. Re-enforcement of Anti-Gay Stance

President Buhari on this U.S trip, re-emphasized that Nigeria's Anti-sodomy legislation stands and will not be repealed as it goes against the culture and morals of Nigerians. President Buhari's refusal to compromise on this stance has been applauded by Nigerians far and wide.

The expectation is that the president’s latest visit to the US has marked a good beginning for the realisation of Nigerian’s vast potential. As noted by Obama, Buhari came into the office with a reputation of integrity and a clear agenda on corruption and Boko Haram insurgency including fixing the economy and infrastructure, therefore I call on members of the opposition to realize that months of wailing will not return Jonathan, so they should join hands with all Nigerians to achieve these objectives for the betterment of our nation.

Were you high when you posted that?

oshaosha2014:
Nna, relax you rubbishing our sweet beautiful women this way? Relax abeg.

Truth needs to be told, irrespective of who's involved.

Why complain when you Nigerian women don't pay for dates or any damn thing?

First date should be paid for by the man but consequent dates should be paid in turns by both.

Nigerian women are the most stingy in the world. The only time they may, reluctantly, pay for anything is at your birthday. They normally buy a cheap t-shirt or tie or st*upid shorts, especially, mostly things you don't really need or like. But 6 months to their own birthday, they will give you a huge list of expensive things (they themselves can't afford) to buy for them as birthday gift, without caring whether the guy can afford them or not!

Nigerian women think they're "special". They think they're doing you a favor simply by befriending you or having s*ex with you, whereas most of them are nothing but rude and arrogant gold-diggers. They're f*ucking terrible in bed (lay like dead wood log during s*ex), have terrible personal hygiene and nag a lot!

When you see most of them dressing expensively, none of those stuff were bought with their hard-earned money! They look good outside but rubbish inside. Even some of them who have stable and good paying jobs still expect everything to be paid for by men!

So stop complaining about how and where the man spend his own money on you, if you don't spend money on him too!

Are you surprised!
What do you expect when Nigerian "universities" chunk out illiterate" graduates per annum?

Yes, they're right to call you that!
You're yet to create your government since you were sworn-in.
You've proven you're incompetent to be president.

Obasanjo has no moral qualification to speak against Jonathan!
He belongs in jail.

Someone looted the maintenance fund.

Adamsdelrio:
Everything you are about to read is absolutely true. I seriously need your advice on this issue before I do something I will regret

. I completed my academic recently and I traveled to my uncle's house, on his invitation to look for a job. My mother was against my journey to my uncle's house because she knew that his wife is going to cause me a lot of trouble. I didn't listen to her because I believe I'm a big boy and I can take care of myself in any unfavourable condition.


With great excitement, I arranged my things and headed straight for the longest journey of my life. We travelled for about 9-10hrs! I've never traveled that long. I got to my destination without any stress..


Don't let me bore you with a long story. Ever since I got here, it's been from one trouble to another with my uncle's wife. She complains about everything I do. If I touch anything in the house, she will surely has something bad to say about it. She's so over censorious about anything that concerns me in the house. Sometimes when I'm watching a programme on TV, she will just come and switch it off or change the channel. There are 3 functioning TV in the house but it's the one I'm watching that she likes tampering with.


There was a day she repeated the same thing and I became angry. I couldn't take it that day so I told her about what she's doing. She told me what I will never forget in a hurry that day. She said 'This is my house and I can do and undo'. I was angry that day and I talked back at her. She reported me to my uncle that day. I apologised to her without countering any of her lies because I don't want to disrespect my uncle by arguing with his wife at his presence.


She's been doing a lot of things to provoke me in the house but I always keep quiet. She's a very good liar and a troublemaker. She does all these things when her husband is not around and I don't want to report her to her husband because it's going to look as if I'm bringing trouble into the family. Please, I need your advice. How can I live peacefully with the woman?

You didn't state why she behaves that way. Either your family treated her like c*rap or she's just bad. We on NL won't know.
I recommend reporting her to your uncle. Record her actions as evidence in case you need it in future to defend yourself.

Omosexy is the sexiest woman in Nigeria after my wife.

Buhari is still not ready to lead as president. This man hasn't fully created his government yet.
And it's a shame he keeps making bad decisions, which shows he's incompetent to be president.

MixedMan:
Please I really need your advice my fellow nigerians.. My brother in law is breaking my family and my marriage..

I got married with my husband 2011, it was going all well and lovely.. I really loved my husband,he's the most caring man on earth and gentle,gives me listening ears and take care of the family.. By. Sept 2014, he's immidiate younger brother visted us, I was thinking it was a short visit only for me to discover he wants to stay with us pending on when he gets new job within the city.. I learnt he lost his former job at abuja due to some personal issues he never want to revealed to us.. And he's 38 not yet married.. As at jan this year, he made some funny moves with me.. That shows he's interested in me.. I gave no room for that,just recently only for me to discover he's helping my husband to arrange other women outside.. According to some of the people telling me.. This is not the first time nor even the sixth time.. He will arrange girls for my husband in hotels,clubs etc
Just last two weeks,I decided to stalk them, when he told me he wasn't coming back tonight.. Just for me to see them at a popular club at ikeja with some girls.. I have confronted my husband and told him but till now he's stll haven't changed, this past friday it repeated itself again.. Right now I'm confused,I don't know what to do.. I need your help my fellow nigerians.

Patience from Lagos.

Your problem is NOT your brother-in-law, it's your husband.
A man who doesn't want to cheat on his wife will not cheat. If he was the type that doesn't cheat, your brother-in-law would know and won't try to "help" him to cheat.

Your husband has been cheating on you even before your brother-in-law came. You only noticed it now because you don't like your brother-in-law and realized since he came to the your home, you noticed your husband has been coming home late frequently.

Your brother-in-law is a blessing to you in disguise because without his presence, your husband would continue cheating under the radar unnoticed by you.

Now you have confirmed his cheating ways, give him a serious ultimatum to either change or lose you and the children! Keep monitoring him secretly and gather as many evidence as possible in case of divorce because that's where the marriage should be heading if he doesn't change.

If you try everything and he still cheats, DIVORCE him. Remember, gather enough evidence to have leverage in your divorce case. It will help you win the custody of your children, properties (if there are) and cash for child-support.

A few days course and he took his family with him? The main issue is not about taking his family, it is the unnecessary inconvenience of;

- Not paying for the upgrade. Does his family not worth paying from his pocket?
- Lying. Upon inconveniencing his company, he also tried to defraud it. No reputable company will keep a thief or liar as an employee, unless you're lying or stealing for a corrupt company that supports it.

I hope he learnt his lesson. It was an expensive!

Saklekplus:
Am in my late 20's, I live in my sister's flat, I have my room, while this my younger brother, who is 22 years sleeps in sitting room, but he kept his clothes in my room, although he stayed in my room when he first arrived but I later sent him out of the room because he was too lazy to keep the room tidy, but I leave the key with him whenever I want to go out because of his clothes, but I have been suspecting that he has been bringing girls into my room(on my bed).

I caught him red handed today, I kept a pack of condom in my room, as am trying to find my second wallet tonight, I discovered that someone has torn the pack of condom and removed two. I immediately called him, but he didn't deny it, am confused, although, i have given him a serious warning not to let such repeat itself, but am also thinking of reporting him or I should just pack his bag out of the room, i don't know what to do..

Mature advice please

Are you not supposed to be ashamed you're still living in your sister's home?
Why would you send your brother out of the room while your sister allowed you to live her home? Isn't that mean?

If your sister allows you guys to invite females to her home then your brother should also use the room to entertain his female guest. He's also an adult like you. He has equal right to share the room with you.

The home is neither yours nor your brother's. At you guys age, you should have your own homes. I started living in my own apartment at age 20 and never looked back. By age 24, I built my own home. If I could do it you guys can.

Try sharing and stop being mean.

What of Obasanjo, is he not going to be investigated? He committed more crimes than Jona!

This not a new invention! It has been replicated thousands of times on YouTube!
Invent something new then we can talk.

That's why most Nigerian "graduates" are illiterate.

Ola17:
Madam please Emeka misses you so much. Go back home

The id*iot is missing beating her.

..My children are my assets, I don’t mess with them or their mother for any reason because they have to be rightly protected.

And you still beat your wife, you f*ucking st*upid as*shole!
I wish your wife will divorce and sue your abusive as*s! You don't deserve to be loved by any woman.

I hate abusive id*iots who beat women!

7Alexander:
I work in a not-too-big establishment that is owned by my brother-in-law, we have a staff of 7 ladies, 4 guys including myself.

The problem i have is that these ladies whose job is largely secretarial thinks that given my connection with the CEO, that i am financially privileged, now, i'm just managing myself, albeit comfortably, but, there is no time i can have a single conversation with these ladies without me hearing something like, 'find something for me nah', 'hope you will find me weekend money', 'you be oga nah, your own better' and stuffs like that.

Recently, one of them celebrated her birthday at the office but brought no drinks, during the celebration, she blatantly asked me to bring #5000 to support her, i was like what? The whole thing is pissing me off.

I remember a day i told one of them to buy me sachet water, she asked me how an oga like me should be drinking sachet water and not a bottled water.

The new and most annoying trend now is that anytime i send them to get me food, which is sold between 250 and 350, they either do not get me any change or they tell me that the food vendor is owing them, and we know the rest.

Please nairalanders how best do i express my displeasure to them without being petty, while also sustaining their goodwill?

You deserve what you get. You presented yourself as oga to them by asking them to buy you water and food.
Are they there to serve you? The company is not yours and yet you behave like it's yours.

Get your lazy as*s up and buy your water and food by yourself!

HE'S AN IDIOT!!!

Killing yourself for being dumped by your lover is the most st*upid thing any id*iot could do!

Nobody is anyone's soulmate! If everyone actually had only one soul mate, a random person somewhere in the world. What a nightmare that would be?

There are a lot of problems with the concept of a single random soul mate. But what if we did have one randomly-assigned perfect soul mate, and we couldn’t be happy with anyone else? Would we find each other?

We’ll assume your soul mate is set at birth. You know nothing about who or where they are, but—as in the romantic cliché - you’ll recognize each other the moment your eyes meet.

Right away, this raises a few questions. For starters, is your soul mate even still alive? A hundred billion or so humans have ever lived, but only seven billion are alive now (which gives the human condition a 93% mortality rate). If we’re all paired up at random, 90% of our soul mates are long dead.

That sounds horrible. But wait, it gets worse: A simple argument shows we can’t just limit ourselves to past humans; we have to include an unknown number of future humans as well. See, if it’s possible for your soul mate to be in the distant past, then it also has to be possible for soul mates to be in the distant future. After all, your soul mate’s soul mate is.

So let’s assume your soul mate lives at the same time as you. Furthermore, to keep things from getting creepy, we’ll assume they’re within a few years of your age. (This is stricter than the standard age gap creepiness formula, but if we assume a 30-year-old and a 40-year-old can be soul mates, then the creepiness rule is violated if they accidentally meet 15 years earlier.) With the same-age restriction, most of us have a pool of around half a billion potential matches.

But what about gender and sexual orientation? And culture? And language? We could keep using demographics to try to break things down further, but we’d be drifting away from the idea of a random soul mate. In our scenario, you don’t know anything about who your soul mate will be until you look into their eyes. Everybody has only one orientation - toward their soul mate.

The odds of running into your soul mate are incredibly small. The number of strangers we make eye contact with each day is hard to estimate. It can vary from almost none (shut-ins or people in small towns) to many thousands. Let’s suppose you lock eyes with an average of a few dozen new strangers each day. (I’m pretty introverted, so for me that’s definitely a generous estimate.) If 10% of them are close to your age, that’s around 50,000 people in a lifetime. Given that you have 500,000,000 potential soul mates, it means you’ll only find true love in one lifetime out of ten thousand.

But with the threat of dying alone looming so imminently, society could restructure to try to enable as much eye contact as possible. We could put together massive conveyor belts to move lines of people past each other but if the eye contact effect works over webcams, we could just use a modified version of SoulMateRoulette.

If everyone used the system for eight hours a day, seven days a week, and if it takes you a couple seconds to decide if someone’s your soul mate, this system could - in theory - match everyone up with their soul mates in a few decades.

In the real world, many people have trouble finding any time at all for romance - few could devote two decades to it. So maybe only rich kids would be able to afford to sit around on SoulMateRoulette. Unfortunately for the proverbial 1%, most of their soul mates are to be found in the other 99%. If only 1% of people use the service, then 1% of that 1% would find their match through this system - one in ten thousand.

The other 99% of the 1% (“We are the zero point nine nine percent!”) would have an incentive to get more people into the system. They might sponsor projects akin to One Laptop Per Child (but with a sleazier vibe). Careers like “cashier” and “bus conductor” would become high-status prizes because of the eye contact potential. People would flock to cities and public gathering places to find love - just as they do now.

But even if a bunch of us spent years on SoulMateRoulette, another bunch of us managed to hold jobs that offered constant eye contact with strangers, and the rest of us just hoped for luck, only a small minority of us would ever find true love. The rest of us would be out of luck.
Given all the stress and pressure, some people would fake it. They’d want to join the club, so they’d get together with another lonely person and stage a fake soul mate encounter. They’d marry, hide their relationship problems, and struggle to present a happy face to their friends and family. (Of course, this never happens in our world.)

All in all, the world of random soul mates is an even lonelier one than ours.

I end with this quote by Tim Minchin;
With all my heart and all my mind I know one thing is true:
I have just one life and just one love and, my love, that love is you.
And if it wasn't for you, baby, I really think that I would have somebody else.

Is this prison?

Most Nigerian women are gold-diggers, rude, arrogant, terrible in bed (lay like dead wood log during s*ex), have terrible hygiene and nag a lot!

Sabrwahaqqo:
Lol. If you are not married and are having sex wt your boyfriend then you are as good as a cheat. That was the point I was making.... To the 72 virgins ish, Its complete fallacy! Even though the Quran said one who has entered heaven in the afterlife will have accomplices that will be beautiful beyond description, pure, holy and overly mesmerizing, the quran did NOT mention 72 virgins! Its a complete fabble. Second to none fabrication. Furthermore anyway, I'd told NobleG1 off on the things he's misconcieved, like this very claim and I feel he's better informed now. So, I won't want you to go there. You should even be careful because that dude claims He doesn't at all believe God exists, so, why should you at all follow his guide? Moreover anyway, How many times will I tell u my religion doesn't at all support cheating in any form? Why do you keep going back there after you've been informed? Why do you decide to continue to follow the lies after the truth has been spelt out clear? Is that what Christianity teach?

Islamic leaders, seeking to motivate would be suicide bombers, inducing them to commit murder in the name of Allah, have been quoting Islamic sources, which promise 72 Virgins in Paradise to those who kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah.

Many Muslims, especially those exposed to Western culture, are aware of the jokes and the ridicule that the 72 Virgins legend has brought upon them and upon their brother believers. Consequently, they blame the Jews for spreading the myth in an attempt to downgrade the image of the Islamic "freedom fighters".

Despite the disclaimer by some Muslims, the truth is very clear. The 72 Virgins notion has its origins in the Qur'an. Although the holy book does not specify the number as 72, it does say that those who fight in the way of Allah and are killed will be given a great reward. It goes on to stipulate that Muslims will be awarded with women in Islamic heaven. It even describes their physical attributes—large eyes (Q 56:22) and big, firm, round "swelling breasts" that are not inclined to sagging (Q 78:33). The Qur'an refers to these virgins as houri, companions of equal age, but the highly-flavored emphasis of their bodily characteristics, including their virginity, gave rise to many hadiths and other Islamic writings.

Hadith 2687 is where the number 72 is mentioned. "The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants and 72 houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al-Jabiyyah to San'a."

Qur'anic commentator Al-Suyuti (died 1505) and Orthodox Muslim theologians such as al Ghazali (died 1111 CE) and Al-Ash'ari (died 935 CE) graphically elaborated sensual pleasures attributed to Muslims in paradise". Al-Suyuti wrote, "Each time we sleep with a Houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas."

On the whole, the Qur'an and the hadiths are filled with sexual fantasies that Muslim men are awarded when they reach Islamic heaven. Anas bin Malik, an Islamic scholar, claimed that "The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number… The Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men)." Muhammad (hadith 24) apparently claimed that devout Muslims would be given the sexual strength of 100 persons upon their arrival in Heaven.

The sexual obsession by Muslim men as conveyed by Islamic writings, takes its cue from the founder of the religion. The description depicts him as a sexual predator. Aisha, Muhammad's wife since she was a nine-year-old girl, described her sexual experiences with the prophet. When she was six years old, he could not have intercourse with her due to her young age. As a consolation prize, he placed his penis between her thighs and massaged it softly. Aisha explained that unlike other believers, the prophet had control over his penis."

Being consistent with its sexual obsession and predatory practices, the Qur'an permits pedophilia (sura 65:4). It also discusses rape in detail. It lets you know that men can rape female slaves and captives (Q 23:6), even in front of their husbands (Q 4:24). Other writings advise that when having sex with captives, it's better if you don't pull out at the end (Sahih Bukhari 3:46:718).

It's no wonder that 72 Virgins in Paradise are a fundamental piece of Islamic culture. Sex, sex abuse, pedophilia, and enslavement of women take central stage within that religion. Encouraging martyrdom by pointing to sexual rewards in heaven is a natural corollary of that tradition. Although the Qur'an may not be as specific, it nevertheless, offers many clues, which subsequent inscriptions reinforced, interpreted, and broadened.

lexy2014:
in nigeria, d way govt does things is like a man building a house but starts from d roof instead of d foundation. Everybody is doing biometric in nigeria, immigration, pension board, civil service board, road safety and now banks. Like u noted, biometric aren't what every tom dick and harry should demand 4. D painful part of d bvn thing is cbn and banks threatening nigerians over their own money. Its a pity like u said nigerians don't no and don't care that this is an issue of rights. They think its cbn doing us a favour

Really? I didn't even know Immigration, Pension Board, civil service board and Road Safety also demand biometric!
What the hell is wrong with Nigeria Govt.? Is it biometric madness or not?

Nigerians allowed all these nonsense to occur. Just wait and see, biometric data of Nigerians are going to be fraudulently abused soon. This country is f*ucked up indeed.

What happened to the police car and its occupants?

Gowon's planned was to rule Nigeria forever like other African dictators who died in office.

lexy2014:
I think that cbn has overstepped its bounds. Ideally cbn has no right 2 threaten or force bank customers 2 register 4 bvn. If d purpose of bvn is 2 protect customers funds, then d customer should decide when he or she would register 4 bvn. Bvn registration should b an on going exercise. Its d banks responsibility 2 protect customers funds and its banks that should b sanctioned if they can't do their jobs. If banks want my fingerprint 2 protect my money, I should reserve d right 2 give it 2 them or not. I shouldn't b threatened or forced over my own money. Its like d ATM thing. Nobody was forced 2 get it. Cbn is infringing on d rights of nigerians, if not they should have thought of nigerians in diaspora

What you said is exactly my point. CBN is infringing on the rights of Nigerians and the worst part of it is that Nigerians don't care about protecting their rights and most don't even know they've rights!

I've never seen or heard any other country in the world where Banks demand fingerprints in the name of "customer protection"! No developed country does this sh*it! CBN should have forced the government to create a Social Security number (SSN) system, issued to Nigerian citizens, permanent residents, and temporary (working) residents, just like in the West. Then banks would demand for the SSN instead of Fingerprint.

Fingerprint is the most private data of any citizen of any country and should ONLY be demanded in criminal cases! Banks or non-governmental organizations have no right to obtain fingerprints of anyone!
