The Sunday guy should heed to his warnings, elections are over.
And for the man threatening fire and brimstone, if you can't deal with his tags, block him na? or you just want to spill human blood??

" Prettiest girl to come out of Igbo land". Haan op, prettiest girl ke? that's .... I don't wanna use a harsh word.

The Nigerian dream can't be the same as the American dream.
The Nigerian dream is to keep the vision 20:20 in view, while suffering and smiling. When we get to the year 20:20, we shift it further to 20:40.
I hope we get out of the doldrums and move forward.

I don't like the idea of buying house hold items online, the best thing is walk into a store, inspect whatever you are buying, if you're satisfied with the quality, pay for it.
Sometimes, what they post on their website is a far cry from what the items look like in reality.
Sorry for your experience.

President Goodluck Jonathan, you should know better, this is politics, no permanent friend, no permanent enemy.
They all want to be associated with the winning team.

What are we to do with this piece of information

I don't think so, I think there's no catchy news to report anymore now that elections are over.
And also, their candidate won, but after may 29, we'll know if they are into partisan or non partisan politics.

NgeneUkwenu:
Stop stalking me! After your numerous PMs which I didn't reply, yet you can't get the message! I am already engaged!

that was quite harsh.

brunnette4real:
I attend salvation ministries in portharcourt,and the dominant people in the church are from rivers state and the east.I am from the west and an usher in the church,and today is mothers day, I wore an ankara gown only for me to get to church this morning and my leader told me that I can't officiate because I'm not tying a wrapper,I told her I don't have one and I don't like it,she said I should go and buy that only those that tie wrapper will officiate.I felt embarassed and bad cos of the way she said it and the discrimination.
So I'm thinking of leaving the church to another one.

Were you informed before now about today's dress code??
If you were, then there's no reason to be upset but if you had no idea, then...
But that's not a "good" reason to leave the church.

Sunnystooth:
And that includes christians that make
derogatory remarks on the Muslim God, right?
And the Gods of other religions of the world,
huh? Or it's only yours that is the right one? I see.

Whoever makes derogatory remarks on ones Diety should be corrected, its absolutely wrong.
And for the poster above me, every thread I see you, you have nothing to say except that line.
long hissssss

emrain:
that should be ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH.

that church cray.

You shouldn't have mentioned any name of a church, you can't be so sure.
For the op, I'm short of words, so people now higher prayer warrior for churches?
I can bet with my pet, you won't get a genuine "prayer warrior".

CHM11:
Bro I don't think she's being a smart wife. If I'm earning 500K monthly and my wife is not working, she can have 20K for her personal upkeep, 30K for foodstuff and groceries and 10K for other 'out of the book' stuffs. That's a total of 60K per month and this is only because I want her and them to have a good comfortable life.

If you were earning 100K won't she have married u and managed with like 30K monthly?

Some women just don't think far. Bro you are the man, take charge and plan for yourself and your future.

For food stuffs and groceries, 30k is small, maybe 50 except he doesn't stay at home.
op, you need to seat her down, tell her your plans and make her see reasons with you.
But if she's the extravagant type, that would be difficult though.
I wish you Good luck

laryom1:
looool. You just said to yourself, didn't I just correct this guy? But m telling you the mind of the op. Don't believe that! He wouldn't have numbered them if he was not following any order.

I give up, Issokay.

laryom1:
actually, I didn't. But his order is kind of controversial

How is his order controversial when he didn't follow a particular order

42n8dzydoo:
You are a born teacher! I just don't know how to explain.... I sha know it was Charles!

Lol, all right.

ojaydedon:
derek vs brian..
Nice point

it is Charles.

It is Charles.
Since each of them said a lie,
Arnold and Brian told the same truth - it wasn't Edward, Edward is out if it Arnold lie is it was Brian which is also Derek's lie.
Charles told a lie that it was Edward, so his truth is that it wasn't Arnold, and that's Edwards truth so Edwards lie is that it was Derek. Arnold is out of it.
Derek's truth is that it was Charles.
It is Charles because Brian's lie is that it wasn't Charles and Derek's truth is that it was Charles.

laryom1:
dude op, hardness is the measure competitiveness and it is inturn into two categories; 1. How hard/strict they are in conducting their academic part of the admission process: How hard your pume is and or how high the jamb cutoff is( this isn't a problem for the brilliant students, they can get into anywhere); Uniban has the same cutoff for all courses irrespective of their competitiveness; UI should have been the no1 d time they do shortlist and invites, now? NO. For now, In Nigeria, Unilorin has the highest JAMB cutoff mark for some competitive courses: you just say why do they use 180? Yes, and people with 200+ would be considered first, fif 180 guys has 80 in the pume. OAU deserves the number 2; 2. The number of applicant. You need to admit 120, and 500+ made more than hhighest possible cutoff, what do you call this? This is happens in Unilorin every year. You saw the number of applicant that chose Unilorin in Jamb? My opinions tho

Is it that you didn't read the part where the op said in no particular order?

ransomed:
This simple personal opinion of a nairalander about admission into universities would soon degenerate into animosity, innuedo, and discord. Why are we so full of hatred? Seriously speaking, we need positive re-orientation and attitudinal change towards building a better Nigeria of our dream. E- tribal, religious and Political warriors, please sheathe your swords. Peace...

and to think that the op said in no particular order is what beats me, or is it that people don't read the whole article before commenting

onyxo76:
back in 1994 in oau,i used to load myself with at least 3 wraps of fufu before going to read...but now my lecturer friends always complain of having to carry you people to health center during exams because you ate indomie before coming to write a 3 hour paper-don't get me wrong but indomie no be food for undergraduates oo.

Haaan, you said 1994, indomie is the in thing now.

RedBenson:
Omo, na beans and drinking garri sure pass.

In my school, Bread and beans all the way, if rice is not ready in any restaurant, be sure you'll find beans and bread.

chukxie:
I'm happy to meet my people here ooo. I used to have some friends from Ogbe years.. Make we dey relate. I'm very glad to meet u here.

Same here.

Beans and bread

chukxie:
I rep Ekpon ooooo. Eko, Idumodin Quarters. My maternal family's house is next to Eko Primary School. Aluaaaaa!

Haan that's where my mum came from (Idumeko), but I rep Ogbe.

nnacent:
Hahahahahahaha! My friend u are absolutely correct. The antics of these guys are simply endless. However one sure way to avoid being a victim is to always "Soji yourself" that is be always contious of ur enviroment. Dont b absent minded at any point. They capitalise on ur being absent minded.

As in ehhh, the annoying thing is, most times you are likely to see the person that stole from you, but if you follow that person, if you come back alive to share your testimony, you'll thank your stars.

Radoillo:
Like the Ekpon, they do not speak an Edo dialect.

The ops list is not comprehensive

eghuan1:
are you from Ekpon?

Yeap

eghuan1:
I wanted to point out this issue before I saw your writing. as an ekpon person, I don't understand how people keep claiming Ekpon language to be an Edo dialect. why not claim agbor, and the Ika speaking places to be an arm of the benin kingdom? the fact that Ogbemudia made a political mistake and our people allowed the mistake to stand, one overzealous benin man will come and claim ekpon language to be an Edo dialect. compare agbor language with ekpon and then compare ekpon with esan and see the difference.

I quite agree with you even though I'm not so grounded in the history of ekpon as a whole, but then again, ekpon and esan don't sound similar at all, even though I haven't heard the agbor dialect.

JimTiger4:
Hehehe.... Bros "na I dey ur back team" oo

Yes oooo, "I dey your back" , the queues in some banking hall can make you loose hope and when they start with their grammar "there is no network", I go just tire.

Radoillo:
Technically, Ekpon is not an Esan dialect. Even if the Ekpon ethnically identify as Esan.

I agree with you on that, the languages are not similar at all

op, you forgot to mention the hawkers, when sitting by the window of a bus, if you wearing a very expensive wristwatch, don't stretch out your hand for any reason and don't use an expensive phone close to the window of a moving bus.
The pick pockets nko, I had a terrible experience with them last year on Christmas eve. If you are a "JJC", pls put on your thinking cap ALL the time.
