₦airaland Forum

No matter how much we hate them, we will
surely miss them. Nairaland is a platform where
we have different types of people coming to
share, agree, disagree, derail some topics. Most of
these people made this place a better site to visit
often and now let me take you back to the
memory lane and remember some people who
made this plaCe interesting but seems to have
gone on an exile.
1) The GARRI Dealers : These people have
nothing meaningful to talk about except issues
concerning garri, they will open a thread to ask us
the priCe of Garri in the market, or sometimes
wanting to know how a certain post affects the
price of Garri in the market. (how does this
affects the price of garri in the market ). it's been
a while we see them and I think some of us miss
them because they put smiles on our faces with
different jokes they make out of garri issues.
(They might come back to ask me how my post
affects the price of garri in the market )
2) The Just Passing Bye Crew : We can call them
the trekkers also, they move from one post to
another just to let us know they were passing
bye. These sets of people are never serious with
any serious post on nairaland. if you are very
observant, you will notice that, they could write
"just passing bye "on over 15 front page threads
daily. wherever they are now, I hope and believe
they have gotten to their final destinations.
3) The French Men : Just early this year they
were very active here on Nairaland. They were
our brothers who live in Nigeria but usually claim
to be from France. we don't do this in France, I
have never heard of that in France etc. Those are
their comments. I wish them well in France or
wherever they claim to be.
4)America Will Know : I don't need to tell us the
founder of this great statement but to God be the
glory, she had many children here on nairaland
who always write on people's post how
Americans will know everything about us. Seems
America has stopped knowing and that Is why we
haven't seen them for a while.
5)Thunder doing Press Up Team : whenever these
people come online, they are here for a fight,
telling their fellow nairalander how the thunder
that would fire him or her is still doing Press up.
Maybe due to ban or their thunder might have
fired them after the press up, that is why they
have been missing.
6) Oga At The Top : Chai, the man really hear am
for this place, every post that needed an urgent
response could not be answered to because those
that commented on it would claim that only their
oga at the top is answerable to the question
asked. yeye people. The rest is history now.
7) Diaris God Team : We all know there is God,yet
they come on nairaland to derail people's post all
because you want to mimick our former mama (I
didn't mention name ooo, it could be NCCF
mama ) wherever these people are,i want you to
know that Chai, diaris God oooooo.



8Commentary reserving Teams : Instead of
resting their comments, they will tell us "i
comment my reserve " yet there is nothing
notable to read from them. If u were part of this
team, I comment my reserve for you.
9) The Tecno Ambassadors : There was a time
every post about tecno hits front page, if u like
write,! how to remove your tecno battery " it will
hit front page and also generate Lot of
disagreement from nairalanders. Every comments
made about Tecno generates lot of Likes those
days . where are these ambassadors? Are they in
China? The tecno, Samsung, blackberry
ambassadors... I hail thee! how market?

10) The Ifa Consultant : They are the babalawos of nairaland, even when you open a thread on how to change your phone Imei, their response will be ''let Me go and ask ifa '' we don't see them again,wherever they are we say, how market?

11) The Mat Spreaders : They comment on people's post as an observer, they will spread mats just to read what people have to say. Their mats must have been stolen or Seun, ishilove and co must have seized it from them, hopefully God will provide a mattress for them. So they can come back to start sleeping comfortably.

Fellow Nairalanders, I have tried, abeg add yours to remind us of our long forgotten friends who were once here .

I am not a guy, but I have many male friends.
Many. And I listen to them talk about their friends
and one thing I have learnt is no guy tells his
friend who he should date or shouldn’t date.
Girls do this every once in a while because that is
how girls are and it is in a woman’s nature to be
protective about people around her and
sometimes, act like a mother hen.
So because nobody tells a man who to date, I will
not be telling you who you should date but I will
be giving you reasons why you should not date
the types of women listed below. Gerrit? Let’s go.


-Miss Superficial: It never goes beyond getting
hair done, nails done, facials done and stocking
the closets for this type of woman. And when it
goes beyond that, they want to discuss
something that is never about the future,
something about now that is not necessary and
something very shallow. Miss superficial can be
very pretty (they usually are, I mean why would
you spend all the time getting nails and hair and
face done without being fine?) but beyond pretty,
what more does a man want? A lot! A whole lot
more. If this is all she is bringing to the table,
then maybe you shouldn’t be sitting there with
her.


-Miss Selfish: when it is all about her and never
about anybody else, then you should let her be all
by herself. A selfish woman will not think of you
at all, not when she is making decisions, not
when she is thinking, not when she is breathing.
Besides, love is not selfish, so when you have
someone who is constantly thinking of her not
you, then maybe she has no idea what love is or
needs to learn what love is.


-Miss Goaless: my friend Dammy, who lives in the
UK, keeps telling me how many (young) Nigerian
women over there seem to be clueless about
what they want from life and that some simply
don’t have lives. I am always quick to correct him
that it is not only in the UK that happens. It
happens here too. It happens everywhere. There
are many women out there who have no goals or
worse, dreams. Some of them feel like they have
the rest of their lives to decide. Except you are
goaless as well, then there is no reason for you to
be with this type of woman.


-Miss liar: If she lies, is never straight and is just
too shady in her dealings, then there is no reason
for you to be with this type of woman. People
who lie never take the other person’s feeling into
consideration. And they are usually capable of
other terrible things. A woman who lies is not the
best type to be with. Abi what happens to
honesty is the best policy?


-Miss Playa: women who keep several
relationships while lying to each one of them that
they are the one usually have their reasons for
being who they are. But I honestly have not seen
the reason why anybody should be a playa. If
your spec is the type of woman who shares her
private part, oh well, here is your woman. But if
all you want is honesty and a woman who would
be true to you and just you, then run away from
this type.
The list goes on and on and if I were to mention
the type of women, men shouldn’t touch at all,
then I would be typing several articles. There are
more types you shouldn’t date and they are not
all listed here, just know that whatever trait that
makes you uncomfortable, you should watch and
see if it is something you can compromise on. If
you can’t, oh well, walk away now.

Renowned Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has taken a swipe on President Goodluck Jonathan, urging him to abandon his re-election bid so that the All Progressives Congress candidate, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) can emerge the winner of the presidential election next month.
Mbaka, who heads the popular Catholic Adoration Centre in Enugu, said this in his New Year sermon titled “From Good luck to Bad luck,” while addressing thousands of parishioners on Thursday.
He urged all well-meaning Nigerians to vote for Buhari on February 14.
According to the cleric, Jonathan has disappointed Nigerians and cannot deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
The Catholic priest subsequently knelt down in front of the altar, cried and asked God to give Nigeria a good leader and not Jonathan. He used the opportunity to beg Nigerians to vote wisely in the forthcoming elections.
He said, “I love President Goodluck Jonathan and I used to be his ardent fan, but I want good for my people and that’s why I want Nigerians to vote out Goodluck Jonathan and vote General Muhammad Buhari. I don’t care if Buhari is a Muslim and from the North; all I care about is that Buhari can save Nigeria.”
Ironically, Mbaka had recently endorsed Jonathan’s re-election.
It was learnt that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, had taken Jonathan’s wife, Patience, to Mbaka, where the cleric said he would pray for Jonathan’s victory.
However, after prayers, Mbaka said the sign he received from God was that Jonathan was not fit to rule the nation anymore.
Mbaka further explained that one of the reasons Jonathan is no longer fit to rule Nigeria for the next four years was the high level of insecurity which the President had failed to address as well as corruption in the country.
It’s unfortunate that the over 200 Chibok girls who were abducted by terrorists over 200 days ago had not been rescued despite series of promises made by Jonathan, He noted.
Mbaka further urged the Federal Government to account for the missing $20bn and stop insurgency in the country.
He maintained that Buhari could not Islamise Nigeria as being rumoured in some circles.
Here sf aid here had never met the APC candidate but urged Nigerians not to forget that Buhari fought corruption to a standstill during his administration between December 1983 and August 1985

WHy is boluwatife not fine

Boluwatife is not fine because he is boluwatife(As God wishes)

Culture they say is the way of life and must be respected. Every state in nigeria has its culture which have been preserved for many years but while surfing the internet this morning,I read about benue people's culture but one thing was very strange to me which I thought I should share with you. It is often believed that Benue women are offered to visitors as ''Entertainment offer',i.e the husband gives out his wife to a visitor to have S*E*X with her....Is this one helluva culture that might well explain why Benue has the highest HIV/AIDS incidence in Nigeria?

Now let's vote.... If u want jonathan to be Re-elected "LIKE".... If u r in support of Buhari "Share"...... Me I want Change...

As the renowned American Diplomat and Political Scientist Henry Kissinger stated, ” those who are indifferent to power will be overtaken by power seekers”.
True to this statement, the average Nigerian has been indifferent or lukewarm towards political power and consequently, the political elites have dominated power since independence. As the 2015 elections draw nearer, I have studied the unfolding dynamics and permutations, my conclusion is that all factors considered, it is in the best interest of Nigeria to re-elect President Jonathan for another four years. I have summarized my reasons below.

#My first reason is that Nigeria has recorded remarkable economic growth under President Jonathan. Only two Months ago, Nigeria overtook South Africa as the continent’s largest economy after it overhauled its gross domestic product data for the first time in more than two decades. According to verifiable figures for 2013, released by Nigeria’s statistics bureau, Nigeria’s GDP hit $503bn (£307bn) – nearly double previous estimates and well ahead of South Africa at around $350bn.

This pushed Nigeria up 12 places to become the 24th largest economy in the world – on par with Poland and Belgium and ahead of Argentina, Austria and Iran. This is a huge achievement. This development was not achieved overnight. It was a result of the direct dynamic approach of the President in terms of greater investment in entrepreneurship and private sector participation.

#My second reason is that President Jonathan has recorded significant improvements in the power sector, backed up with greater roads and infrastructural development. The bold privatization of the defunct NEPA paved way for improved power supply in Nigeria. Most Nigerians can confirm that although we do not have power supply round the clock, however there has been a commendable improvement. There has been also greater road rehabilitation in Nigeria like the Lagos-Benin Road, the ongoing second Niger bridge etc. This government has also commissioned many new schools especially in the north of Nigeria aimed at bringing education to the door steps of the commoners.

#Thirdly this administration has pursued a robust foreign policy since inception. Nigeria which previously lagged behind in the comity of nations, has now assumed her rightful position as a leader in the international community. The recent successful hosting of the World economic summit is a testament to this. Nigeria under President Jonathan has been a dynamic force in Africa and beyond. Nigeria has been leading the peacemaking initiatives in the West African sub region, with our troops deployed in Mali, Liberia and beyond. Nigeria’s partnerships with our international allies like the UK, US and France have deepened and improved under the Jonathan led administration.

#The number four reason is the need for continuity and stability in our democracy. Having made tremendous progress as discussed above, there is an important need for continuity in order to sustain these achievements. We cannot afford to start afresh all over again. What is needed is a sustained initiative and a planned change of government after another four years.

#Another important reason Jonathan should continue is that he is a democrat in all ramifications. Even some elements of the opposition attest to the democratic disposition of the President. President Jonathan’s tolerance of the opposition is unprecedented in the annals of Nigeria. In the first republic, the leader of the opposition Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his supporters were harassed and imprisoned. In the second republic, the ruling NPN allegedly tried to intimidate and capture all States by all means including the Ondo State Gubernatorial election “victory” of 1983 which caused an uproar in Ondo state.

But today, members of the opposition can sleep with two eyes closed, thanks to the liberality of the President. The President has a non violent body language which connotes peace. Today many opponents throw personal abuses and insults at the President without facing any consequences. Many African leaders wouldn’t take personal insults and abuses from the opposition or anybody for that matter. In the recent past this would have been unthinkable. Those critics who think the President is weak should realize that it takes strength of character to absorb insults and abuses without negative reactions. To his credit, there has been no politically motivated assassinations till date. Friends and Foes agree that Mr. President cannot “hurt” a fly.

#Similarly the President has supervised fairer elections than his predecessors. Many States today are controlled by the opposition. In fact it is on record that opposition parties have won more elections under President Jonathan than under all previous dispensations put together. This can be attributed to the democratic inclination of the President. He has reasonably erased the do or die politics of the past.

Again, victory for Jonathan is victory for the common man. Jonathan can be said to be the first Commoner from a humble beginning to emerge President. The political elites have dominated politics in Nigeria from time immemorial. It doesn’t matter if they are from the North or South, Christians or Muslims. The elites had always been in power in Nigeria. Jonathan emergence was an act of God which no mortal envisaged. Therefore ordinary and working class Nigerians must ensure that the elites do not bully Jonathan out of office. At the moment the elites have united with the sole purpose of recapturing power for themselves and their descendants. They are using sensitive issues like insurgency and insecurity to blackmail the President. Nigerians should not be fooled by the antics of these desperate folks. No single godfather owns Nigeria. Nigeria belongs to us all. Therefore we are all equal stakeholders and therefore the will of the majority must prevail.

#Similar to the above is the seventh reason. Jonathan is the first minority to be elected President. Therefore Jonathan represents hope for the down trodden and minorities in Nigeria. From independence the major ethnic groups dominated politics in Nigeria. It was unimaginable then to have a minority as President. Today we have a minority as President on a platter of gold. Added to this is that the South-South region where Jonathan comes from accounts for over 90% of the resources Nigeria has been using to run for over four decades now. Strangely Jonathan is the first President from this region. It would be a good idea to allow Jonathan govern Nigeria with our support. Jonathan can do better with our support and cooperation. Those opposed to his ambition based on the so called unwritten agreement should realize that Nigeria and her Constitution are greater than any parochial arrangement.

#Moreover another four years of Jonathan would mark the beginning of the end of the era of godfatherism in Nigerian politics. The so called godfathers in our national political life have held Nigeria to ransom, without rhyme or reason. They place unrealistic and unreasonable demands on the incumbents. The first battle Jonathan fought was to liberate himself from his so called godfather which he has successfully and bravely done. The next four years would give the President the opportunity to level all inequalities and provide a level playing field for all Nigerians, to enable eligible candidates contest and win elections without depending on godfathers.

#The ninth reason we should re-elect President is because of the lack of a credible opposition. Opposition in Nigeria has weakened due to the absence of a defined ideology. We have seen members of the opposition jump from party to party without any ideological framework. The only constant feature is the lust for power. As a result we do not have a formidable opposition that can make a difference politically.

The recent merger of several political parties to form the All Progressive Congress (APC) was received warmly with great expectations. At last the vibrant opposition has arrived! So we thought! How wrong we were! Most Nigerians expected a strong opposition that would mobilize Nigerians behind them. We expected an opposition devoid of pettiness and cheap blackmail. We expected an opposition that would be defined by principles and ideals. We expected an opposition that would present a clear cut, well defined, and practicable alternative to the present. We expected a credible opposition based on principles. To say the APC dashed our hopes is an understatement. APC missed the opportunity to stand out as the new national umbrella. All we hear is ” Give us Power”. But what are you going to do differently? What are your plans? Nigerians need to know what agenda you have before they give you power.

The PDP has been in power since 1999. As expected some Nigerians have some reservations on the performance of PDP. This is not unexpected considering the fact that the Party has been in power for fifteen years now. But the pertinent question is, what will APC do differently? APC has refused to tell Nigerians what they have in stock for us. Instead they are over driven by the lust for power without a defined agenda. Mere criticizing the incumbent without proffering solutions is grossly inadequate. What Nigerians are waiting to hear is the action plan of APC. Does any Nigerian know how the opposition would tackle this insurgency? Does anyone know their plans to create jobs? Does anyone know their plans to fight corruption? What about Education, Power, Healthcare? The list is endless. If the opposition wants to be taken seriously by Nigerians, first it needs to go back to the drawing board and define the agenda. Then communicate the agenda to Nigerians and allow Nigerians to decide who governs them in a free and fair election. At the moment the present opposition style of chasing shadows leaving the substance behind has played to the advantage of the incumbent.

It is either the opposition steps up the game by addressing issues, not personalities, or forget the 2015 Elections. As long as the opposition continues to chase shadows, the incumbent would have an easy ride come 2015.

#Finally Nigeria should re-elect President Jonathan because of the present circumstances of security challenges, which the President is working hard to contain and defeat. Put differently, the country is in a state of war with terrorists, and we cannot change the Commander-in-Chief in the middle of the war. In fact it would be morally wrong for Mr. Jonathan to abandon ship halfway down the sail without achieving total victory against the terrorists. We should therefore rally round the President in solidarity and defeat the terrorists. The prevailing opinion in Nigeria and the Diaspora is that President Jonathan should hang on and fight these insurgents to the very end. Let us therefore renew his mandate on the 14th of February, 2015.

God bless Nigeria.

Some people are gonna be happy reading this o...lol... Some will be angry that, i am promoting trash.
But i implore you, just calm down and read this. It's really enlightening...
See the benefits, after the cut...

#Drinking Has Its Upside

If done properly, drinking alcoholic beverages can be good for you. Binging on the weekends will only harm your health, but drinking one glass of alcohol a day may lengthen your lifespan. WebMD emphasizes that it's crucial to take into account age, sex, specific medical problems, and family history, because every person is different. With that being said, your alcohol intake might be beneficial to your health! Read on for eight health benefits.


#Lowers Cholesterol

Studies have shown that any kind of alcohol consumed in moderation is linked to high levels of good (HDL) cholesterol. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that moderate drinkers (people who consumed 1 to 6 drinks a week) had larger particles of good and bad (LDL) cholesterol in their bloodstreams than did those who drank more. Bigger particles are better because larger HDL particles fight heart disease and large LDL particles are less likely to cause it.


#Boosts the Benefits of Fruit


Studies have found that adding fruit to alcoholic beverages may help to increase the already beneficial antioxidant potency of the fruits. Adding a generous amount of berries already rich in antioxidants, like blueberries or strawberries, will offer more nutrients than a margarita mix or juice concentrate. Mixes and syrups contain refined sugar and not a lot of fiber, so by adding fresh fruit, you'll also be consuming more fiber and less calories!


#Helps Your Heart

Drier red wines, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, contain high levels of resveratrol, an antioxidant shown to slow aging, reduce fat-cell formation and slow fat storage. Drinking one glass of red wine a day could help you control your weight, and therefore, help your heart.


#Protects Your Liver

According to a recent survey conducted by researchers at the University of California School of Medicine, people who drank one glass of red or white wine a day were half as likely to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common liver problem in this country. On the other hand, people who drank the same amount of beer were four times more likely to develop NAFLD. For a healthier liver, stick to one glass of wine a day!


#Slows Cognitive Decline

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, individuals who drink moderately have a slower cognitive decline with age. While it's good news for those who drink, the study claims that non-drinkers shouldn't take up drinking based on the results of this study.


#Low Risk of Diabetes

An average daily intake of one to two alcoholic beverages is associated with a low risk of diabetes among middle-aged and older adults, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

#Decreased Risk of Gallstones

Some studies suggest that those who drink in moderation cut their risk of gallstones in half.


#Better Health, in General

A national study found that moderate drinkers are more likely to get enough sleep each night, exercise regularly and be at a healthy weight, compared to non-drinkers and heavy drinkers.


Keep in mind, Drinking can have some serious consequences if not done responsibly. You should always consult your doctor before consuming alcohol or other foods and beverages for health purposes.

Sanchez01:
*Clears throat* Ahem! 2014 is about rounding off ... While this is true, several characters were exhibited in the course of 2014. Several crews, i.e, groups of people who tend to do similar things are being highlighted and mentioned below. Please feel free to add some of those I forgot to add

1. The ‘first to comment’ (FTC) crew: This category of people might comment on the issue or argument raised by an OP on the thread but their main focus is to acknowledge or become the first to comment on a thread, particularly when they sense that such threads are Front Page worthy


2. The ‘BB/Nokia charger’ crew: Unfortunately, this crew is stylishly going into extinction. They were one of the first crews ever created, if not the first, to deviate from the main point of discussion to creating humour from mostly important issues to issues they have no idea about.

3. The ‘do the needful’ crew: Mhen, I love this crew! I find them fascinating largely because most of the people who belong here are females, often found on the Romance Section (based on my observation). They are more like the ‘yes man’; they will never give their own opinion other than to ask the OP to ‘do the needful’, a subtle way of saying ‘you know what to do. Don’t dull!’ They are largely found on threads that involve ‘sexuality’ and guys/girls seeking advice on if to yield to the demands of a potential partner.

4. The ‘attention seeking’ crew: They can be annoying sometimes. They tend to do things contrary to the rules of the forum just to be known. Often times, they open threads that are sometimes hollow, annoying and offpoint. In most cases, they derail the threads of others just to be recognized. The most beautiful thing about them is that the creative ones in the crew often get lucky with putting a smile on readers’ faces. But largely, they can be annoying.

5. The ‘I’m new on NL, how do I comment’ crew: Quite funny but this screw abuse the grace their words carry. Normally, I’d have loved to place them under the attention seeking crew but they often don’t write advertise their group on almost every thread. They have a funny way of making first timers who view their crew laugh out their heart and in turn get them to ask ‘how on God’s earth did your comment show up then?’

6. The ‘picture or I don’t believe it’ crew: Almost every Nairalander belong to this group, consciously or unconsciously. We imagine pictorial evidence before opening threads, particularly when it involves the state of the country, celebrities, etc. However, the kingpins of this funny crew have evolved overtime from asking for genuine pictorial evidence to pulling the legs of their targets (the Ops). They’re probably the most common on the forum.

7. The ‘click here to see the pics’ crew: Bloggers largely obsessed with pulling traffics to their blogs fall into this category. They sometimes give suspense and brandish their write-up with witty words and end up asking readers to follow the link to viewing the pictures for evidence. They could be misleading though.

8. The ‘Space Bookers’ crew: Space Bookers of Nigeria (Nairaland) as they have come to be known, are by far very annoying. They secure spots on threads using annoying words, characters, pictures or emoticons. The beauty of this guys is that they are a funny group of people and just enjoy what they do – space booking, of course!

9. The ‘F for fish’ crew: These set of persons are best described as the best remedy to those who book spaces with just an alphabet. Their responses depend on the alphabet registered by members of Nairaland.

10. The ‘I School in France’ crew: The first time I read someone made a post and used the catch phrase ‘I school in France’ was somewhere in July. It sounded odd at first but I could remember laughing that night. This crew tend to deviate from the subject matter at hand, deny ever knowing what the thread is all about because they are not in Nigeria at the moment as a result of school (which is in France). Lolz!

11. The ‘Ghost’ crew: These folks are quite funny and often keep me wondering why a 2007 moniker has never created a single thread before. The GC have a way of striving to make just about 70 posts since 2007, with no followers, They also have a way of causing terrific views on a thread, yet not comment. Most times, you’re forced to believe a moniker is actually new only to visit the profile and discover it has been registered for ages!

12. The ‘Dairy Keepers’ crew: Okay, I admit, I love this crew so much that I end up stalking most of them unnoticed. You may think diary keepers on the forum are boring, but trust me, they’re not because it takes some level of thoughts

13. The Bigots: As much as I’m not comfortable including this category in the list, it is imperative that they are included; they tend to read beyond discourses and bring out extra sensitive issues all in the name of ethnicity, religion and personal sentiments.

14. The Buhari/Jonathan crew: They are the trending topics on the forum and will be till even after the 14th of Feb, 2015. For these folks, their ‘leader’ is better than others and whatever mistakes the said leaders make, this crew will always stay by their man anytime, any day.

15. The Serious-minded crew: I practically adore this folks. They are often serious and direct on the forum. I must also say they are quite intelligent and they rarely make fun of people who need advice or some sort of help on them forum. Some may find them boring but I consider them amazing. I belong to this crew and I love you it.

Kindly add yours... Merry Christmas People!

‘It’s all good now, some rich men brought us together and it’s finally resolved.’ When probed him further, he said ‘It’s officially resolved, no more drama.’ when asked who the rich people who got involved, ‘Some very powerful men, I can’t say their names, it was like a round table meeting and it’s all good now.’

Davido revealed this in an interview with NET!
