Are you a fool?
The lady in question may be a mother to someone don't you think?

No I am not a fool.

I am sure i am a lot smarter than you.

For the record, yes what he said was bad.

But insulting his mother makes you worse than him

And it is highly provocative. One day you will say that to a crazy hot headed person in real life and you will learn something.

nkwuocha1:
I don't refer to old women as "worn out".So your rants are reserved for you and your likes alone.kapish??!!

Like i said. Continue talking about peoples mothers. Only experience can teach you

nkwuocha1:
He has already answered my question. That's a very innocent question, as the lady in question is a woman just like his mother.The question I asked is very appropriate.

Yes Just like your mother. Continue

missloluwa:
Hey guys,

I'm in my mid 20's and i've been working for a few years now, my current salary is very decent and i'm striving to earn more. Obviously at my age, i'm thinking of the long term which obviously includes my career but i'm also looking forward to and marriage and kids. However, the vast majority of guys i've met are either not ready for the long term, or they're still in their 'struggling' phase.

Is it bad that I want someone who is at least on the same level as me, or maybe even slightly below? Am I a 'gold-digger' because i don't really want to 'eat garri' with a guy before he blows? I've dated these guys before but even till now their level hasn't changed much despite all their talk about potential.

I don't mind having to split the bill once in a while or even contribute but i'm a lady that's used to certain tastes. My family isn't Dangote rich but we're doing quite well, and i'd like to continue living that life or at least not drop too far below. What do you guys think? Do I keep looking for these 'almost/made guys'(can anyone tell me where to find them? lol) or do I settle for a struggler.

A few years ago, I may have said you are proud but i really don't think so. You are right to have a specific picture of how you want your dream guy to be financially and otherwise. We want what we want and you are not likely to be happy if you settle for less. You only have to recognise there are some more important things that you must absolutely also watch out for. And i think you know that.

It would been a problem if you were one of these instagram slay queens who do nothing bu look for comfortable guys or "Godfearing" yahooboys. But that's not the case. You're asking only for what you have been able to acheive yourself. So its reasonable.

About where or how you can find this type of guy. . Anywhere... Just keep making friends and be nice to everyone. Smile.. You go dey alright.

nkwuocha1:
Oga I'm sure your mother is more than 38.Will you refer her,your mother as "worn out" also?

You shouldn't mention peoples mothers. Its a sure way to start a fight. And no, what he said isn't an excuse. Call HIM worn out too. Don't be a trouble maker

DanXplore:
Thanks!
My heart beats for the Msc!
I have already made friends

I will just fly to UK bro. Thanks!

Life is all about risk.

If you go, you will gain more knowledge and international experience, unfortunately you will have to come back because its UK unless you impregnate Oyinbo. Lol. And when you come back, you will need to compete for the few jobs in the field you love so much. Or take a job in social science which is what you already have.

But 2years is a long time. Unemployment would have eased by then. And if you could get 2 jobs without Msc in this present Nigeria, you can do it again when you get back.

IamKashyBaby:



Baba..no disrespect but my shoes price are even higher than than..

And besides, what kind of job is that u only being paid 70k na? Where most of the workers now being paid 500k & up?

So you earn 500k? Abeg kon dash me 70k na

IamKashyBaby:

IamKashyBaby:


Nope...I cant..

What is 35k naira na? lets be practical here..what kind of life you will both have and for ur chiildren?

But doesnt mean i will leave him ...I will encourage him to find a better job or venture into business if he has passion on it..

What about 70k as in when you add your own 35k?

ashiwajew:
Very achievable. You will make more than 50k in a month driving weekends alone. You can set a target for yourself, say 15k per day which sums up to 120k

Thanks bro. I will let you know how it goes once i am ready

ogunvic41:
Honda accord not good for uber/taxify...
Corolla or Peugeot 407. I drive Peugeot 407 its cheaper to maintain than a corolla. Fuel economy is almost the same. Email me for more advise

Thanks. I will chose amongst the two the best deal i find.

Iamabraham:
He didn't state it but I guess it should between 12-16weeks.

About the pay, he didn't state it too; but here is what I was able to get from previous thread

Thanks for the info

It is reasonable to assume that the pay has been reviewed upwards in the past five years

Cos it appears a bit low compared to other banks.

CzarChris:
Remember you asked me to name one yoruba in Jonathan's top 5 and I named one, I could name more if you like, not forgetting that the south west produced president OBJ before then, so there is absolutely no basis for comparison. Remembering the past as a threat is definitely a no no for me. Remembering the past to learn from it is far different from the threatening undertone that statement held.

My point is the marginalization you complained of happened to the the Yoruba people in the previous administrations where none of the top 5-8 people in power was Yoruba. Did we go violent? No. Instead, we spoke through the ballot box. That is what I advise you do instead of calling for division

vinlinks:
Is it millions of Nigerian or millions of Igbo ?

Same thing

vinlinks:
I have only one question for you.

Why are the Nigerians always remind Igbos about the civil war ?

Because you always seem to forget that millions of Nigerians died

CzarChris:
Olusegun Aganga was minister for trade under GEJ's government. But that apart, the average igboman is has a can do mentality that pisses other people from other tribes off. There is this Igbo adage that says "someone who is rejected cannot and will not reject himself". That is why the east is what it is today. What prompted me to put up that write-up was the young man's recall of 1967, that to me is totally unacceptable. I believe the over centralization of power is the problem of this country. If we don't retrace our steps the vast non-oil potential of this country will keep lying untapped.

Wole Soyinka said (when stating his support for biafra) and i quote " If you do not confront your past, you are going to mess up your future". When talking about anything biafra, it is necessary to remember 1967 and let that guide us.

Would you be fine if all the southeast got in this administration is the minister for trade?

kikake:
Yoruparasite. One just couldn't read beyond your filthy self-serving first paragraph where you said Biafra is only Igbo affair. Many many nob Igbos gun for restoration of Biafra.

Methinks, these yorupigs believe that the non Igbos in the SS are truly clueless and ogogoro drinkers - separate the non-Igbos of SS from Biafra, it then becomes easier to fcuck the SS in Nigeria, and even impose Islam upon them. Foolish yorupigs with their area boys sense.

Ok do you think your have insulted me enough now or would you like to go again?

CzarChris:
You had my undivided attention on your write up, until you played the 1967 card.
I am an igboman and I have always seen the biafran agitation as a waste of time, because it's way too late in the day to divide Nigeria now. In my opinion these are the reasons for the current upsurge in the call for Biafra.

1) Jonathan ignored the biafran agitators and in his actions as president he included all parts of the country in his appointments(much to the chagrin of the northern oligarchy) that alone spoke volumes in calming down the polity, unlike our current president who through his actions and inactions sidelined a particular section of the country and his 5% comment only added more fuel to the fire of marginalisation burning in the east. His arrest of Kanu only made the young man more popular.

Never play that 1967 card again, because lightening never strikes the same spot twice.

Agreed we have huge unexploited oil fields in the east, why haven't the government encouraged exploitation? It's simply to get a strangle hold of Eastern economy and deprive us of the accruing benefits. All the seaports close to the east have been killed to suppress the igboman and make him go to faraway lagos to get his goods. Why did the North and West go crazy when Jonathan made Enugu airport an international airport or when he started building a deep seaport in Ibaka, Akwa Ibom? Why is Tinapa free trade zone comatose till this day? Don't get me started on the much publicised gift of £20 to every igboman no matter the amount you had in the bank prior to the Nigerian Biafran civil war. But the west and the north still can't phantom how the igboman can still rise and flourish with all the obstacles your likes put in our path. Owerri, Awka, Onitsha, Enugu, Aba, Umuahia where razed to the ground during the civil war, but I make bold to claim that no other path of this nation is as developed (apart from Lagos and Abuja) as these places I mentioned. Never in the history of Africa has a group of people contributed to build an airport not to talk of an international cargo airport, but Imo airport was born through self help contributions, donations and taxes, but the government out of fear reduced it to an airport. I believe it was Prof. Wole Soyinka that said that "it is only an Igboman that can squeeze water out of a stone". We build our own roads, provide our own water what has this contraption called Nigeria done for the East?
I believe in one Nigeria, but never see the gentle strides of Lion as a sign of weakness. Oil is the thin thread holding this country together, let's hope that by 2035-2040 when oil will become obsolete that that thread won't break.

I am glad nobody wants a war.

Can you name one Yoruba man in the top 5 of Jonathan's administration? I don't think the Yoruba Nation started a protest for that.

You said, what has Nigeria done for the east? I ask what had Nigeria done for any part of Nigeria. The average Igbo man is still much better off than the average Hausa Man. Has the decades of rule really favored the North or any part of Nigeria. The only difference is that maybe the people embezzling the funds are more from a part of the country, not that the fund is being used to develop a single part to the detriment of the others.

My point is, we are all victims. We all share in the fate of Nigeria and have suffered enough so we should not shoot ourselves in the foot by trowing political stability into the wind.

Any protest must be peaceful and strategic.

KingsJohnson:
In Law, dere z wat we called "Actus Reus and Men's Rea". Did Nnamdi Kalu used harsh n unacceptable words Yes. Did any Igbo man or IPOB ever carried out wat he said No. Has Nigeria born No.


All dis are provocations and said at d heat of tinx, datz hw he feel becus tinx are not working fine..


Bro we are more Dan 50 years without any hope or future, if u were in his shoes, u would hv said more

I am in his shoes, We are all Nigerians.

There were reports he used much harsher words on radio before his arrest. It appears you know more about the law than I do.

Is it not a crime if I go on radio and start saying Yoruba people should kill anyone from a particular place.

Or were the reports wrong and he never said any of those things?

KingsJohnson:
You totally ignored d question. hweva nobody z calling for violence or war.

Nelson Mandela ended apartheid in South Africa without killing anybody, Martin King Jr ended segregation in America wit no violence, why z Africa always afraid of change


Dis is 21 century for crying out loud, everything z not abt war or violence n Nnamdi Kalu n IPOB has kept to dat since dey started.


Again do u fink Biafra z abt self interest It is an ideology, a way of lyf dat can never be kill. Wat happened wen Radio Biafra was jammed wat happened wen Nnamdi Kalu was arrested Biafra can't be stopped by brodaly

I stand corrected. But your leader must then stop saying things like "the country would burn" as that may be seen as inciting people to violence and give the government grounds to arrest him. It is a crime to incite people to take up arms against others

LoudNdclear:
secondly you saying "selfish like Jesus" was that Aimed at making peace or raising awareness to the imminent war?
Just shut your mouth son..... and stop blowing hot and cold air!!! Prophet Mohammed wouldn't be happy with you for doing that.... lol

This is the only part i would respond to. If you could not see that i said SELFLESS, then there is no reason to believe you saw or understood any other thing I have said. I am a Christian, and i would never call Jesus selfish.

I will not respond to you any further

KingsJohnson:
Brodaly, I see dat u are a gentleman by heart not lyk oda Nairalanders, but let me ask u a simply question dat needs a truthful answer

Are you happy wit Nigeria as a country

"Secessionism" is against Nairaland rules. I could be banned if I answered that.

What i can say is that War or Violence is senseless. More than that, we must watch what we say online because while we might know where to draw the line between mere talk and action, a lot of people who visit nairaland may not. It will not be nice to spill hate everywhere online for one hot-headed young man to see and go violent on innocent persons.


There are smart ways to get what we want as a people. Lots of countries have tried to breakup through violence e.g Sudan. The end result is years or decades of bloodshed with no end in sight with the agitators farther and farther from their goal.

In Nigeria, majority of the people who claim to lead this cause are only in it for selfish reasons and they are more willing to waste the lives of foot soldiers that risk their own lives.

Nathan2016:
So as old as you are, you dont know the difference between referendum and war...


Keep on promoting biafra by opening treads everywhere.

Everyone knows that Biafra agitation started before jonathan...lol...i mean that guy was clueless but smart

The dullard on the other hand,,, wasnt that smart...just dull.

making dis united comment...

if in your house your father tells you that they will give all your siblings his money, my friend wont you agitate to leave your fathers house.

Abi u go dey house they watch 97%


Personally i have different view on biafra, but what they are agitating is not wrong and with good reasons.

MAGINALISATION. Which is clear.

unless you have on top military personel you see igbo man name included.

Abi igbos no b major tribe in nigeria. based on population.

go to west you see igbos.
go to south you see igbos
go to north you see igbos
go to east you see igbos



and you still dont want them to follow in building the country

thunder fire you

Well am not that old and I know the difference between referendum and war.

I also heard when your leader, Nnamdi Kanu, said Nigeria will burn if the government tries to arrest him.

Then i also heard about the quit notice in the north.

You see, young people like me usually think such threats could escalate into the loss of innocent lives and subsequently Civil war.

For young people who value human live and who are students of Nigerian history, even the remote possibility of a Civil war is something that should be squashed.

I don't know about old men like you

Yyeske:
Respect bros but IPOB is different from igbos, we think differently abeg.

Yeah.

For me, I love Nigerians more than I love Nigeria.

If the people that make up Nigeria do not want to be identified as Nigeria then that wish should be respected.

At the same time, it is senseless to waste the lives of Nigerians just for the hatred of Nigeria

Kazim88:
right now they are already starving with all their pepper, onions and cow.

Hahahaha This baba self.

seguno2:
It is misleading.
The thread is about Biafra, not about Niger Delta militants. Not so?

You are correct. Yoruba boys like me often forget the crucial distinction between Niger Deltans and the Igbos/Biafrans.

seguno2:
Amnesty was by Yar'Adua.
It was for oil militants.
It allowed oil production to increase for more money to the federation accounts.

That is true

but I said "Jonathan shared money through amnesty"

Are you saying that is not true. Did Jonathan not share money through amnesty?

leisuretym:
its your useless Mohamed and the mod that moved this to front page and seun that is selfish, not my Jesus,

I said selfless. But you called someone useless and you said "my Jesus". Is that what Jesus taught you?

rozayx5:
when the heat starts the zombies will feel it more

any disruption in Nigeria will lead to mass hunger in the North and SOuth west

cause there will be no allocation money

ignore them

i am from the SS and this country does not make sense


Nigeria has no future

Are you saying the regions that produce the pepper, onions, cow meat, and other basic food items would starve? This is not inline with my understanding of what happen during the Civil war.

juszoe82:
The call for Biafra has been in existence not because of Jonathan or so called Buhari but is because our people have endured enough in the so called nigeria and their system of government that a particular feel that they are born to rule but what make it worst is buhari after winning election and decide to user outrageous reactions against igbos both in his appointment and statement. I dont know why some people in this country nigeria does not address issues with truth instead they see and address things through their anus. So called buhari use this statement after winning election that igbos will get 5% share in his govt while others will get 95%. Jonathan never discriminate during his govt. In terms of hate speech buhari have it 100% than Jonathan.

My advice to this govt is that they should brought all the issues on the table,embrace restructuring or referendum with equity,fairness and justice and also treat every tribe equal if not the agitation will continue whether people like it or not. The system is totally destroyed and need to be properly address.

I like your comments. However, some would say the Yoruba tribe was also marginalized by the Jonathan Regime. For instance, can you name a Yoruba man that was at the top 1-5 of Jonathan's administration?

Instead, the Yorubas have now voted for a regime where they have a VP, is that not something the biafrans can do instead of a call for secession?

sanpipita:
I never wanted to reply here but after reading where you talked about 1967 I must say you are very stupid, its like what kanu says about this country being a zoo is true, must a war be fought just cos agitations? what about doing things like civilised people, are we animals? for your question do your research Biafra was on under GEJ some were arrested and taken to court blame buhari for escalating everything since he took over.

As you would see if you go through the thread. I am not in support of war. Inciting comments that can lead to war is exactly what this thread is speaking against. If we talk about why calls for secession were not as loud before, then maybe we can address the issue once and for all.

Kazim88:
Don't be deceived... SS would naturally join Biafra... Asari Dokubo (Bayelsa, Mend) has been MASSOB before Kanu.

Akwa Ibom are fanatical about IPOB.. same as calabar..

Although every tribe would vote independently to join or not... that said.

Oil revenue would be negotiated independently, backed by international community. Nigeria would still be receiving billions in allocation on oil.

they are lots of oil in Lagos, Ondo, Edo and Delta.

Without Biafra noise, Yoruba would naturally hide, North would easily dominate Nigeria... the polity would be calm.

They would be own all the oil field in SW... and Edo and Delta. Ev

They could give excuse for allowing Biafra because they don't want another war. case close.

but they are so short sighted, they have so much faith in violence... we want to clear their doubt.

simple victory for Biafra and North. they are talking war... thinking they are doin us favor by not rolling their tanks and war machine.

roll it.

You are wicked oo. So you assume you can leave Yoruba people alone with the Northerners while you merge with the saner southsouth people that have all the oil. Ema wo bobo yi sha.
