Low key, this babe don old o |
bot101:Do you mean fake news like Biko Haram, at that time, was in control of and had established a so-called caliphate on an area almost the size of Belgium? Or you mean the chibok girls debacle was "fake news" and no schoolgirl was kidnapped? Was the economy not crumbling under Jonathan? Was the Federal Cover meant not borrowing to furnish budgets mostly servicing overbloated recurrent expenditures? Educate me. |
OhiOfIhima:Sementi àhé? |
Such a beautifully written article, I almost wished it would never end! At first, I thought the Jubrin story was just one of the many things Buhari was being taunted with knowing that Nigerians have a penchant for insults but like the author writes, the sheer tenacity of the story is mind-boggling especially considering that it's also being peddled by clearly lettered people. It's disturbing. Fake news could be disastrous. I recall that there was a time the military engaged in medical outreach in the southeast only for IPOB to announce that the government was planning to infect their kids with diseases. The allegation on its own is ludicrous but the saddest part was that majority of those who heard this ran to the schools of their children and wards to withdraw their kids and effectively sabotage a wonderful inititiative because of a news that was being spread on whatsapp. Why?! Why can't we abstain from hateful politics? There's nothing as effective in combatting ineptitude as truth. Please, my people, truth is always a better option than dangerous, divisive lies. If you must tell lies, do endeavour to avoid those that'd make you look irredeemably daft by sane folks. |
I couldn't have found this at a more opportune time. I feel like this was written just for me. So fired up now. |
Sterope:Most Nigerian men wouldn't know class if you hit them in the face with it.. |
Patrioticman007:Your comment is heavy with bitterness. Why are you so bitter? Why do you bear so much hatred? |
sassysure:Hate is heavy, my friend. |
In functional societies, the institutions are strengthened such that there is a reward system in place to encourage meritorious service as well as a strict, dispassionate and effective punitive system to discourage corruption, negligence and indolence. Nice one, Obaseki. |
Tetragramaton:He's an insensitive, depraved pseudointellectual. |
A minimum wage of 30k isn't obtainable, honestly. This isn't partisanship, this is the truth. With minimum wage at 18k, only a few states were able to pay their workers as at when due; and all of a sudden, we're talking 66% increment at a time the economy is just finding its feet. Although the 18k is not conscionable on workers, the proposed 30k isn't fair on the government either. I believe a compromise between both parties will be in order. The labour unions should soften their stance, biko. |
overall90:I don't know and have never heard of the phrase "eternal borrowing" before but I do know what Foreign Reserves is and I'm sad that you're trying to downplay the significance of our robustly improved FR. FR are dollars bought by the CBN from the FG and kept either in the CBN vaults or in any of many places within and without to act as buffers against economic tragedies. When it is low, the local currency weakens. Robust FR also protects a nation's currency from devaluation which in turn prevents inflation - all to an extent, of course. If FR were as unimportant as you make it seem, why do all the countries the world over take it so seriously? The rise of crude oil has nothing to do with the FR as opposed to your claim. The FR rises when the FG buys more dollars than it sells and vice-versa. If the international oil prices determine our FR, shouldn't it have been highest under Goodluck's admin? Contrary to your belief, the Sukkuk bond is about 100 billion naira and is exclusively dedicated to financing capital projects. About the second Niger Bridge, please don't swear on your life or on anything. I typed "2nd Niger Bridge" on the google search bar and was immediately regaled with dozens of recent news items, accompanied by a few pictures stating the details of the ongoing project. Jonathan's government DID NOT start the 2nd Niger Bridge because that government never disbursed a penny toward that project. Make a quick Google search, bro. There's only so much Bubu can do in the face of the limitations with which his administration has been beset. Don't forget that while the previous government was borrowing to pay salaries, Bubu's tenure has been borrowing to put infrastructure on ground. And an obviously learned person like you knows infrastructures drive the progress of a nation. Bubu hasn't done bad at all. Several laudable projects are at different stages of completion while some have been completed already in spite of all that's happened. Buhari paid the Paris Club overdeductions to state governors and asked them to offset outstanding workers' salaries with it. Some governors complied while some simply stole as much as they could. Buhari can't force any state government to pay salaries or otherwise, order them on how to spend the money once it's already in their coffers. There's only so much he can do after all. There's no excuse for what the NDA attempted and that you try to defend their dastardly acts is disheartening. Tompolo is a criminal and a crook. Period. It's alright if you disagree but I won't spend my time discussing the likes of Tompolo and KANU. I can't type as much as if want but sha know that though Buhari may not be the best man for the job, this Atiku of a somebody na error, biko. |
overall90:You have brought intelligent discourse to the table. Very well, then. 1. The topic she created criticised Buhari for supposedly failing the youths, not a general failure in governance. I don't know what has changed since then to occasion the shift but I do know she may be aversed - as I am - to an Atiku presidency. 2. I don't agree with her statement that the only competent minister the last administration had was Akinwunmi Adesina, but generally speaking, the ministers were as bad as the presidency on behalf of which they worked. We must also remember that Adesina was not the only Yoruba minister the last administration had so why single him out for praise if the motive is borne of ethnic bias? 3. It is true that under this administration, the country's debt profile has significantly risen but leaving it at that will be telling but part of the story. The debts were procured to boost our infrastructure (through SUKUK) which was (and still is) grossly lacking. Our foreign reserves, thanks to Bubu's quick intervention, has grown from $30 billion in 2015 to $47.5 billion as at May, this year. P.s. The FG, under Bubu has borrowed waaay beyond the 10 billion you claim there. 4. It's untrue, unfair and ironic to claim that "Buhari came and abandoned the 2nd Niger Bridge whereas he was the one that actually breathed life to the project in the first place. Funds were disbursed to the contractors last year for the initiation of the project which is now, according to the contractors, 44.6% completed. It would, however, be unrealistic to expect a project of that magnitude to be completed already. Lerrus fear God. P.S. some major infrastructure have been commissioned under this current government an example of which is the Jebba-Mokwa road which, I believe, is still on FP as at this moment. 5. I don't know why you claim Bubu bombed Cross River state but I'd be grateful if you can support that allegation with a link from a credible news outlet. The NDA is a different topic for another day. 6. Nnamdi KANU and IPOB is another topic for another day. You made a sincere post hinged on what I believe your conscience is right and not because of outright hatred for Buhari and I respect that. At the end of the day, the more candidate who is more popular between Bubu and Atiku will win next year and that is the beauty of democracy. However, I fervently hope Atiku doesn't win because discerning Nigerians know who he is beneath all that facade.

overall90:I disagree on her behalf. She raised strong points in her comment which I quoted and made some reasonable points in the topic she created too. Leave ethnicity out of this, bros. |
lionness:Sabi babe. After reading your comment, I checked your profile and discovered that the last topic you created was a scathing critique of Buhari whom you defend with so much fire now. What changed? |
maasoap:Yeaaaaaaa... There is wisdom in your words. |
Cocao:I've seen many comments here. I've seen stupid comments, I've seen smart comments but, honestly, this is certainly one of the wisest comments I've seen here. Thank you for not being a waste of my time. |
Cladez:Yesterday's news, bro. Kim Jong In is now on the shortlist for the Nobel Peace Prize! He deactivated many nukes in his country. Everybody don mellow these days, bro. No time for war. |
carammel:I respect your display picture. |
A very lucid analysis. |
I laugh when any Nigerian security outfit uses the word "intelligence" because I know that's one thing they have no clue of. All they have is brute force. |
It seems equity to the male sex has proven the opportunity cost of feminism. This is especially evident in the west where men are subjected to the most ludicrous and humiliating experiences in order to portray a liberal front. Divorce suits provide an almost infinite number of supports to this assertion. Men hardly get child custody in spite of what led to the breakdown of the marriage. There's a 90% chance that the mother gets custody of the child(ren) even though she'd shown, during the course of the marriage, that she's not of fit character to raise a child or children; even if the man is the model father during the same marriage. Drake touched upon this on his track "I'm upset" where he sang about the opportunist mother of his child who sees having his child as an avenue to fleece him of as much as she can and "make a run". If one thinks about it, it makes no sense to force a victim of rape to pay child support to his assailant but then again, it makes less sense to refuse to play any meaningful role in your own child's life because its mother raped you. The focal point here should be on the child and not on the criminal mother. What makes sense best to me would be to grant child custody to the victim (the father) once the child has attained a certain age - say 2 or 3; after which the mom must serve a jail time. I have read multiple stories of men spending years in prison after being convicted on false charges of rape. I have never heard of a woman convicted on the grounds of male rape. Maybe there are such cases but since I've never come across any yet, I take it they are not commonplace. It seems to me that the criminal justice system is almost always in a big haste to show how very not misogynistic they are - often to the detriment of the males. As for men showing emotions, I disagree with you to an extent. Men may show emotions if they want but I don't think there's a need for us to go the extra mile to encourage men to be more emotive because men are wired to react differently to emotional stimuli than women. It's not just society, it is nature. I believe men are more emotionally durable than women and are more capable of hiding their hurt than women. Sometimes, this is necessary, sometimes it isn't. Not every woman cries their eyes out at the slightest opportunity, either. Though it is often said that crying is cathartic, I personally don't do much weeping. I suppress the urge to cry even when I'm faced with more than enough reasons to because I understand that nature is all about balance. My girlfriend and I can't be crying our eyes out. Someone has to be the dependable one and most often, guys are better at it. I've digressed a lot but my point is, male denigration isn't necessary for women emancipation. Food for thought: A misogynist is a man who hates women. What is a woman who hates men called? |
EasternDamsel4:Do you watch Archer? |
FrostyButter:But you are guilty of same. |
Culin:You still got my number? |
My first match was only a bit better. That was several years ago when I was a fresh undergrad. She's 3 years older than me and way more experienced. I thought I'd pound nonstop for as long as I wished. How miserably wrong I was! 1 minute after penetration and Junior was already vomiting that thick grey fluid. I still feel the embarrassment now as I type this so many years after. Smh. |
Such a handsome man fa.. You have paid your debt to death. Rest well. |
BizBayo:If babe cum, you go know na.. Wey dem go dey do like fish wey commot river. |
Culin:Ene... Wassup.. Been a while |
I'm definitely pro-education. But, am I the only one who thinks the males have been drawing tbr short straws lately? |
