All the humongous salaries and you can’t afford a good suit?

Aaaaaaaaaaaggghhhh

Kiss the truth.

LP doesn’t even have the backing of the NLC which would’ve been a massive boost and their internal wrangling coupled with their uncouth online supporters who mostly do not have any political value won’t do them much good.

The Obidient movement have had their resolve weakened by the naked and blatant rofo-rofo don by INEC and might, nay, will need a surge of energy to revitalize their fight against the current regime. I hope the opposition get their act right before it’s too late.

No stray bullets, plz

No matter the judgement, you do not disrupt academics and force children out of their classrooms. The best thing to be done is to come and close the school when everyone has gone home or very early in the morning so that parents who have brought their wards can take them back home

Kudos to our Gallant troops. Who no go, no go know.

Any moving tree is a target.

What manner of hogwash is this? Security details to a whole Speaker of LSHA was not properly documented? You just realized that a whole speaker had “illegal” policemen guarding her? Does that also include the escort riders and the DSS too or theirs was “legal”? You reinstated the policemen that the outsed speaker had. Were they “legal” too? Did you also recall the security of those yeyebrities or are their policemen “legal”? Let me shout in OS

Enough of this. Let’s get back to the real issues at hand. How USAID allegedly sponsored terrorism in Nigeria, How Dangote can willingly drop the price of PMS at the drop of a hat without taking a loss. Important pressing issues, not issues of yesteryears. Old guards are still trying to get us to fight over scraps while they install their children and cronies to continue the cycle.

When you sell your kinsman, even the buyer will be wary of you.

In his book, he should write that he was a puppet in the hands of the REAL northern officers who put him there as a figurehead and pursued their own agenda. He should not forget to add that he had an Igbo girlfriend who he was chopping while the civil war and murder of Igbo civilians raged on. Lastly, he should not forget to mention that the CIA posing as instructors at Sandhurst Military Academy, befriended the Nigerian naïve officers and made them do their bidding in an effort to bring down the budding country.

Shebi una don pursue Igwe, the only Oga wey dey carry AK enter bush with the boys. I remember how bandits wanted to show their color in Bwari and he got his hands dirty, got them arrested and sanitized the situation. Now with him gone, those e-diots are now having gas to come into guzape, the area of the noveau rich.

There were other empty seats. The couple should either have moved or asked that the body be moved. We sef dey fly international so we know that we can switch seats within our class if there’s an empty seat. Them just dey find settlement.

This IBB book is being reviewed in piecemeal for comments and likes while we’re tactically being forced to overlook the USAID saga.

He who controls the media, controls your mind.

If you ignore the rants on social media and actually read his book, you’ll find out that all he has written is kosher. The only issue he didn’t address is his affiliation with the CIA. The man knows enough truths but IMO was economical with it.

There was a reason why Abacha was killed, there was also a reason why MKO was killed. Their deaths however unfortunate, were done to correct anomalies in the grand scheme of things that our overlords wanted to happen.

OBJ’s civilian rule brought tremendous “progress” and debt “forgiveness”, courtesy of our overlords. Yar’Adua was also towing the same path until his unfortunate demise. GEJ, the “accidental president” was not as docile as they wanted, despite their moles in his cabinet trying to get him to do their bidding so they brought in PMB, the frail man who automatically became healthy after inauguration.

The rest is current affairs (no be from my mouth you go hear say okro soup dey draw). I just wish that the youth of today would see beyond their TikTok noses and want a better country.

These men fought their friends and killed their fathers in the name of nationalism. They were passionate (albeit with blinders on) about Nigeria and you think that they’ll just hand it over to children who specialize in yahoo and comedial skits?

Waiting for the return leg of this useless trip but I’m not holding my breath.

Meddlesome interloper. Blogger don dey put mouth inside wetin dey happen for senate but if dem wan share money, dem no go call am. Oponu

Useless prostitute cannot change

You must be confusing her with your ….

I remember when they were first arrested and naysayers were shouting that EFCC would collect their share and let them go. Others were angry because the roads were blocked on the day of their arrest, while others were shouting the usual “Where is Yahaya Bello and other politicians?”. Today, they’ve all buried their heads in shame while blaming Oyibos resident inNigeria for everything plus the kitchen sink.

Nairaland na comedy.

Segz on the beach on my mind

It’s part of the stomach strengthening exercise. This is not news. If you can’t stand the heat, stay away from the kitchen.

Discountsempai:
It had nothing to do with Onan spilling his seed, and the verse in question had nothing to do with masturbation (and no, I am not excusing masturbation...especially as I have never engaged in it, because quite frankly it does not make sense).

Onan was supposed to marry his late brother's wife, and under the customs of that time, the first child he had with his wife would be counted as his brother's child (strange to us, but in a society with high child mortality, and a concern over keeping lineages alive...).

Onan refused to do that because (as the verses imply)...he hated his brother Er. So, out of bitterness, he denied Er THE RIGHT TO KEEP his lineage alive.

Essentially, what Onan also was doing was

1. Denying Tamar the right to have a child...in a society where barreness was a BIG STIGMA. (See how Jacob, Onan's grandpa, wife Rachel felt about having no kids...and later on Hannah. And even Sarah, Onan's great-great grandmother).

2. Essentially telling his father that he wanted both his and Er's inheritance...ie greed. If he had done what he was supposed to do, then when Judah died, his (Onan's) firstborn son would have gotten Er's portion of the inheritance. By having no kids, he gets a dobule portion.

3. Essentially commiting an injustice to his late brother and dishonoring his memory.

Thus..as the bible put it in Genesis 38 vs 8-10

8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also

So, nothing to do with seed or with masturbation as the OP thinks it does.

At its base it is a story about how harmful greed and resentment can be. And how wickedness also can provoke resentment (Er is described as a wicked man, so it is obvious that he was wicked to his two younger brothers, breeding anger and resentment).

I wish Nairaland had a love button. You’ve just explained it like it should be. 100%. Kudos to you.

We need to stop interpreting the Bible with our 21st century eyes and delve into the cultures and traditions of the people who it was written about.

Unilag, LASU and now “Uniyaba”?

In the words of PEJ, “Kwontinue”

I remember when this man was incarcerated for “manipulating the naira via crypto” and people like VDM were talking jazz without understanding how crypto works. I just laughed because I knew there was more going on behind the scene.

Now, na to buy popcorn and Pepsi, dey look fideo.

You can’t fight an institution and win. ASUU na cartel and they must protect their own to avoid setting a precedent. She’ll also be persona non grata in any Nigerian university due to this expulsion. Perhaps, Ruggedman and his cohorts can sponsor her to study abroad. That’s if the Lecturer’s wife doesn’t start a criminal case against her.

Mafia dealings. If you know, ….

We’ve known this all along. Remaining the confessions of the Kaduna state REC.

I thought President Jonathan launched a Nigeria UAV called Gulma. Abi what is going on?

Another “accidental discharge”

Dem wan chop this man money again!!!!! He contested under PDP last time, lost in the primaries and went to join ZLP. He didn’t even get up to 100 votes and lost woefully despite spending billions.

Now, dem don go ginger am to contest under APC and he’ll spend another billions again but him no go still win primaries. Mark my words.

He should just enjoy his aeroplane money in peace.

Na these kind guys dey kpai their wife for going to see gynecologist. I also don’t trust the friend who took the video. Might have been her plan all along

He just did a video saying he posted it and his account wasn’t hacked.

They should’ve invited Patti Boulaye. She’s a daughter of the soil and also as influential
