Let them take over all of Ukraine if they like.....


The whole world is not even aware of what Nigeria is going through presently and we gon keep ourselves busy with the Caucasians?

christejames:
The useless administration of this country that treats security and insurgent matters with kids glove has claimed another innocent life. This one is too many

This useless govt and its cronies will meet their waterloo soon and their fate will be gruesome.

What's most saddening about this whole brouhaha is that ordinary Nigerians like you and I are fighting from two sides. We have to fight the government thats working against us and we also have to fight our fellow countrymen who for a morsel of 30k have sold themselves as instruments in the hands of politicians.

They are well educated, exposed, disadvantaged and enduring hardships and yet, their eyes are dull and their souls are darkened.

I really feel for Nigeria...

iLegendd:
Exactly what I would've done. Though, our Nigerian tutor made two mistakes sha, but the Kenyan goat won't notice.

1. Who thinks, but he wrote who think.
2. The last line, after Nigeria, deserves a period.

Las las, the Kenyan goat go dey fear to reply.

"Contest" should be "context" too

sonmvayina:
I have answered all these in my comments on this forum several times.
The answers to the question will not lead anyone to worship a man as God...even if you drink all the sapele water in delta state...
It is not right, at least, you are sure of yourself and some few who have proven they can be trusted..

But worshipping a dead jew as God?

Madness..

C'est fini....

What do you understand about life?
What do you understand about death?
What do you understand about blood?
What do you understand about sacrifices?
What do you understand about retribution?
What do you understand about God Himself?


Perhaps if you pursue the questions above, you may discover your truth and stick with it. If not, perhaps you don't have the capacity to probe those questions and if you don't have that capacity, it'd be a tough job for anyone explaining the concepts to you.

BSdetective:
Hmmm, the thing is that what if you're wrong and God actually exists along with the afterlife, along with a heaven and a hell? Aren't you afraid of the outcome if you end up being wrong?

You don't need to say that. There's no way you would experience God in the real sense of the word and find it easy to denounce your faith or say that God doesn't exist.

A ceremonial believer won't feel a thing when he/she 'denounces' the faith because there's no denounces since he/she never had any faith. If God reveals himself to the guy, that's all.

escohido123:
Dem go hear am this time.They think they can betray the south and go free. If I hear say Tinubu chinch power.

You know it's very dumb for anyone to talk about a part of the South betraying another part of the South. Let me ask you, have Southerners ever have a consensus among themselves during elections before?

How can someone betray you when you're not in agreement with them? Is it not this unity that the North enjoys?

Let's be critical rather than emotional in our assertions please.

phemmyfour:
Amalgamation was in 1914, that was when the entity called Nigeria was put together.

Independence of Nigeria not Lagos or Arewa is what we are talking about here. The independence was [/b]a joint effort of the North and South

Why then are they screaming that they joined two unrelated regions together? The South and the North made efforts?


By the way, we don't calculate British colonialism when Nigeria came into existence. We calculate it when the influence of British imperialists started in the areas now called Nigeria.

seunayantokun:
I like your view, you've reasoned well.

But let me add that he was right to have shown his total love for his people: if he had not developed the old western Region, from which Mid West was later carved out, how could he have been acceptable to the whole country? All over the developed world, your allegiance or loyalty to your country starts with your love and loyalty to your nation or state. How can you love the United Kingdom if you don't love England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as the case may be?

That was a man who first stated that Nigeria would not develop if the problem of the north was not first solved - illiteracy and general backwardness among the poor masses of the people if the Northern Region. That some elements in the north were against. Olooto ilu oun ni ika ilu where wickedness is bound in the hearts of men.

He believed so much in his socio-political philosophy - A sound mind in a sound body - which would have helped Nigeria a lot. It is pathetic today that those who claim to belong to his socio-political school today are rogues, thieves, generational pests, etc. They have destroyed everything the man stood for and represented.

If Awolowo's style of development was adopted throughout Nigeria, the country would have been free from any political upheaval aside from the rapid grassroots development that would have taken place.

A nation cannot develop if development is not from the grassroots to the centre. The one Nigeria ideology where we try to unite a nation with vast differences was the beginning of Nigeria's death.

Mutual relationship with a loose government at the centre would have instil people's confident in their respective regional government, the fear of domination by the minorities wouldn't have been there.

When development becomes equally distributed to some extent, detribalization would have been easier. But look at where we are.

phemmyfour:
That was the same period most African countries are requesting for theirs.

Besides, 1960 - 1914 = 46years

That's not too early

Colonialism started in 1861 when Lagos was made a British colony. Nigeria was officially united administratively (North and South protectorates) in 1914 and christened by that name.

So no, colonialism isn't 46 years, it way more than that.

Dpharisee:
This is the twentieth Ukraine story on FP today, Nairaland no get important information to send to FP again

Yet, nobody remembers the Tigrayian crisis that has killed between 50,000 - 500,000

Oh Africa and her children!

Truvelisback:
Mehn! What a life! And to even find a financially supportive lady is damn hard. The other day, a guy said in his thread here that, the moment he told a lady he was wooing online that he was a School teacher, the lady blocked him immediately.

But we are not going not give up. The men who would show themselves responsible would become the lifeline for our species in years to come. Humanity survived because of stability and if we throw that stability away, our survival would become problematic.

It'll take time bro and moreso, good ladies are scarce today but when you encounter one, you would know.

A lot of research experience and high quality publications can come to your rescue if you have a third class.


US schools requires more of potentials than grades. Get good publication, research experiences and take standardized tests ie GRE, TOEFL/IELTS. They should come through for you.

HarunaWest:
Asking citizens to fight for their country is now a crime? Dude must you make a comment? Like I don't get you.

You dey mind the guy? He doesn't realise that should Nigeria enter an unprepared for war now, he won't escape conscription into the army when soldiers are needed.

Too much of freedom and laws is making people feel as if responsibility to one's country is now a crime.

The economic realities of the world is shifting and likewise, the role of men as sole providers for their families.

The major thing that ties men down in marriage is a sense of responsibility in terms of families and children which is achieved through economic prowess.

The new system in most western countries have relativised responsibility, culture and every other thing that holds the fabric of responsibility in men. Thus, men are beginning to desire freedom to live without being responsible to anyone.

As a matter of fact, marriage favours women more than it favours men and in actual sense of it, women do choose men than men choose women. But the world now is at a crossroads and the law of nature is what will determine the outcome of this.

Dagger007:
Okay but how's that any of his business

Pull me, I pull you, ya me, I have you....isn't that how secrets get revealed?

Cardealer2021:
A week ago it's comes and disappear,
I went to church yesterday to see if I will be okay but still the same depression
I tried to be active on nairaland if I can be happy still same .
If you see me now I'm all dried up can't eat most days I eat once or twice a day I have lost appetite for food now

Going to church can't take it away except you got something that speak directly to you at the church. You try and carry out the self reflection. Shut yourself away from the world for now. Take time to reconcile with you till things start getting normal.

Sorry to hear that bro.

Something in your is tired and wants to be loosened. You can keep shutting it out with alcohol, smoking etc but it may not go.


You should be happy you're having feelings like that. Some people don't feel anything again, they're just living like ghosts and before you become like that, you may need s good deal of time to reflect.

Shut yourself out. Stay away from social media, drinking, smoking and in short, anything that stimulates and takes away your attention.


Give yourself time to think through your life. Self-reflection is the key here. If you're a Christian, spending time with God will give you a good sense of self reflection. If you can do this for three days, just thinking through issues and taking notes, it may be helpful.

Questions you may ask yourself:
1. When did I start noticing this feeling?

2. What must have caused it?

3. How have been dealing with that causative factor

4. What do I intend to achieve before this depression sets in?

5. How do I move from here.


These are just guides. You may end up querying yourself more than this. Be happy that you're depressed, it's a sing that something in you is craving for changes.

BigBashiru:
You are one of those that believe in white savior. Those like you with poor knowledge of history are beyond redemption....

Did you even read what you're quoting or your fingers have pressed you so much you had to quote?

BigBashiru:
And how does the relevance of the hausa language concern the BBC (British government media house).... In countries they often call 3rd world and ppl they often call "monkeys"

As I said they not doing it for love. It's for influence and power....

We should further ask "how has that relevance developed Hausa land from what it was before we gained independence".

Whites are whites and it doesn't matter what they try to fake, they don't really like you.

Op should just stop the sentimentality. If a federal school in the North invites rich and powerful alumni with their friends from the Southwest, they would also donate.

Sure, Northerners like spending big in terms of charity evidenced by Dangote. Yet, politicians in any part of the South would do that too.

People at the top don't have issues, stop creating issues for yourself so you can get to the top.

bouncin04:
Fuuking leave the Russia - Ukraine war , we having our own fuuking problems to tackle .

You mean our own itches? Our problems are merely itch's. Aren't they? ASUU strike, no fuel, no electricity, high diesel prices, insecurity, never-seen-before inflation, a frail looking granddaddy about to become the president? They're just itches joor

I'm not a fan of Tinubu and I don't support him for 2023 presidency but Reno should go and find something else to keep busy. The highest number of votes he can deliver is just himself (he may dissuade s few people).

He's only marketing Tinubu by making him so far the sole candidate for 2023 elections. He should get a candidate and start doing PR for him.

It would have made more sense if you had a good depth and a sound philosophical mind that's stable enough to consistently address specifics in religion rather than just blabbering around like a disgruntled beast whose prey was seized from its jaws.

The only category of people credible enough to discuss religion are either highly intelligent philosophers (who already did) or highly regarded scientists (especially physicists). Guess what? Among these two category of people, there are highly religious individual.

So have your field day. Not everything in science is rational anyway. At least, quantum physics is telling us something similar.

temptnow:
Do you think Google know Nigeria exist?

The only people that think Nigeria is important is you Nigerians.

Up till now Twitter doesn't even have you people's time.

Festus Keyamo and Femi Adeshina fooled you all that Twitter has agreed to share database with Nigeria and open office. It's going to a year now still nothing

Sharing access to database with Nigeria, do you know how crazy that sounds to these Oyibo companies. Of all countries in the world, it's Nigeria they will share data with.

It's either you have an unparalleled level of ignorance with tinctures of stupidity or you're just plainly becoming derilious in mischievousness.

If you want to counter a claim, it's wise to do that in such a way that'll not put your intelligence to question. The FG has power to tell Google what it wants even though they can't command Google to share data with them. Yet, Google has to comply with whatever the government says even though Nigerian Government is still a young boy in excercising sovereignty.

Who does this , who gives out his trade secrets before his enemies and competition. I have always known Nigeria as a business colony of Igbos but bringing it to the headlines is another thing

Not being able to keep shut or know exactly what to say and what not to say is the problem. You were trying to correct the op (which is quite right) and then you ended up saying that some people are "colonizing" some other people business-wise.

If you belong to that other people, would you accept that you're being colonised or would you be happy about it?

Let's not keep stirring hatred against the Igbos. If Igbos dominate every economic activities in all the states, let them be and let them do so silently. Don't come here and be shouting at the rooftops and be raising hatred against people that are busy doing their honest jobs.

If you're as busy and an Igbo, you won't have the time to be making noise, you'd rather be making money.

Amotolongbo:
Hmmm

Now I understand the difference between a man who borrowed from bank to finance his project and another one who depends on other people’s gift and offering to finance his project.

Dangote’s worth is $14billion while the cost of Dangote’s refinery is about $19billion

Stupidity being referred to here. Dangote singlehandedly owns Dangote refinery right? You'll just be looking for excuses no matter how stupid to discredit a thought because you don't buy the one airing it.
