In about 2 months from now Donald Trump will make history as the first convicted felon to become president of the United States. This should indeed reduce the US to the rank of banana republics. Could this sort of thing happen in Nigeria? Absolutely not. Maybe we should begin to value ourselves, our leaders and our country more. America appears to be on a downhill roll from now.
Say you have a girl or fiancée or wife that has been very good to you - respectful, loving and supportive. Say she sends you nudes and the nudes somehow got leaked unintentionally. The leak was from your own end, either you took your phone for repairs or carelessly left it lying open.
Point is, her nude becomes public knowledge on social media... everybody has seen it, your friends, street boys, church members, colleagues, siblings etc.
Would you still marry her or stay in marriage with her? Serious answers
You are a wicked somebody. You leaked it on purpose in the hope that nobody will marry her. But God pass you sha. You will meet your own waterloo in front. Ika.
officialwdhtv: 'I will personally write a letter to International court of justice on behalf of Bobrisky' - Isaac Fayose says following the removal of the cross dresser from a KLM flight and his subsequent arrest by EFCC officials.
The businessman and brother to former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, had met Bobrisky at the airport earlier and shared a photo of two of them together before Bobrisky was later arrested.

The habit of an old lion is laziness. He feels it no more has any more strength to hunt for food and expects food to come near him instead for easy catching. The typical Nigerian is like this. They don't want to work anymore and expect government to prepare easy work and food for them In other countries a new problem is regarded as a New Opportunity to make money, In Nigeria a new problem is seen as a new Prayer Point. In other countries when there is an unusual problem, such as for example the increase in petrol cost there will be tens of thousands that will see it as a fresh opportunity to become new millionaires by assisting people convert their vehicles to cheaper CNG. In Nigeria there will be tens of millions that will gather on social media to curse the president or gather in churches and mosques to pray about it. Nigerians why nah?
Palm kernel fades ones it's no longer fresh. I think it just comes from the fact that most beauty products back then were made from palm kernel. Hence beauty is, and will always be a product of palm kernel.
I may be wrong though.
You are perfectly right. As I mentioned many beauty products had and still have palm kernel oil as an ingredient. Especially soaps and cosmetics.
CharleyBright: Thunder fire your mouth for you there. Tinubu is repositioning which country? Repositioning country by hiking pump price and selling of futuristic crude for cash Was the Country like this when Tinubu took over? Is the country better off or worse off after he took over? Do you have any reasonable content inside that thing hanging on your neck? Some of you Tinubu and APC supporters are plain evil and sold your soul to the devil. Oniranu Omo jati-jati. Olori ibu. Let Tinubu happen to you and your family.
Did you watch the video? Did you understand the content? I doubt you did either.

madone: Him no kuku get sense bf. So its understandable. There Re many hom on NL. They want to work in bank just to tell babe and old school friends where they work even if na 100k they get per month. There is no dignity in labour here that us why many of them want to become politician
Unfortunately they are the future of the nation. 🥲
I had a discussion with a very angry Nairalander a couple of days ago, which I here summarize.
Him: Nigerians abroad are there cleaning toilets. Life is tough here, but I will not go abroad and clean toilets. Me: [/b]With that attitude, you cannot make it in life. First, you despise honest labor, secondly you are unlikely to recognize opportunity when it comes along.
[b]Him: I know you are also cleaning toilets in US. You are hopeless. Me: Believe what you like. Do you know that the average American will do anything available just to stay afloat while waiting for the next great idea and next huge income opportunity to come along? The average Nigerian will spend the entire day cursing the leaders while waiting for big money to come strolling into his bedroom.
Him: [/b]In America they have regular electricity and easy transportation and that is why they succeed in business [b]Me: Stop dwelling on what you don't have and use what you have to advantage. The average American might be a couple of salaries away from being homeless. You are possibly still living in your parent's home. The average American has very little time to use the electricity at home because he is out hustling, sometimes doing two jobs. Get off your ass and go hustle outside instead of waiting for easy money at home. The average American needs a car to get anywhere, unless they live in cities with integrated public transport and consequently higher cost of living. In most Nigerian cities you can travel from one end to the other in an hour using available transport.
Aisha falls into the category of the many young Nigerians who wen to school, got certificates but lack basic education. They only learnt to read and write. Unfortunately like I said in another thread 90% of Nigerian youths fall into that category.
Jobs are available but are the people qualified for these jobs? That's why you see one person working for 3 different firms while many say they can't find jobs.
The average Nigerian youth talks from his ass, talks birthed from thoughts rooted in emotions, hunger, envy, hatred. No common sense, no rational or logical reasoning and no education....
Someone has been building a company for years, handling small small contracts here and there, bids for a contract and wins the bid, one useless youth who claims to be a CEO on Instagram will after eating from his mothers pot sit down in his father's living room and say "Tinubu is giving contracts to Seyis friends and his cronies." This youth has an iPhone 12 but has no job, hasn't even put together a CV, this youth doesn't know what the 2024 budget contain.....
With the youth I see on social media, the future of Nigeria is doomed. No future
Modified : Here they come
If you don't see that the lack of basic education is the reason why Aisha lack understanding of these basic terms then you also have problem with your education
Had a bit of discussion with one a couple of days ago here on Nairaland.
Him: Nigerians abroad are there cleaning toilets. Life is tough here, but I will not go abroad and clean toilets. Me: With that attitude, you cannot make it in life.

ShoeGetSize: What Nigerian companies? There are very few functional Nigerian companies, no thanks to the incompetent leadership of your favourite political class. The few multinationals will of course always want to bring in their own personnel and exploit the expatriate quota. Even a first year student of economics or business studies knows these things, so I'm surprised even a so called "expert" like you is blundering like this.
As for me not making it in life, well, if by "making it" you mean cleaning toilets or performing any other form of menial labour like you are doing across the Atlantic, then I sincerely hope you are right
Your standard of "making it" will never be mine.
A lot of typical Nigerians do the same. But obviously, Nigeria is a much smaller economy with fewer opportunities.
Again this isn't rocket science and you speaking like this only exposes the depths and profundity of your ignorance.
The typical American doesn't have to deal with level of monumental incompetence that the typical Nigerian deals with.
The mere fact that you are cleaning toilets in America should have been enough evidence to show you that comparing the lot of the average American with that of the average Nigerian is not only unfair, it makes no sense.
The average Nigerian is as driven to excel in life as the average American, but he is unable to because unlike in America, his government doesn't provide him with the basic infrastructure he needs. He has little to no electricity, a very poor integrated public transport system, insecurity and hyper inflation, but in spite of all these hurdles, he's trying his best.
You couldn't handle any of these challenges and you ran away to clean toilets because that is the height of your intellectual ability.
You should be the last man on earth to be mocking anyone.
Clean toilets...clean toilets...clean toilets... Is that the only thing you know how to say? Anyway na you sabi. Mr. Clean Toilet Get a real vision and stop despising people who don't even care that you exist. Adios muchacho.
ShoeGetSize: I can tell a "don't tell my mama what I'm doing in America" type when I come across them, and you come across as being that type. Trust me you won't be the first person who lives large in the virtual world, but lives a life without dignity in the real world. It has nothing to do with poverty mentality and everything to do with situational awareness.
Why do you feel sorry for me? You're the one who had to leave the land of your birth, but instead of criticizing the leaders who ruined your country, you are shouting their praises from across the Atlantic ocean even though you don't have to do so. If you keep that attitude up, your ambition will never exceed cleaning toilets
O ma se o. You can't ever make it in life, I assure you. Not with your mentality. You know why Nigerian companies prefer to hire candidates who studied abroad? It is because those people always recognize opportunity and seize it before it is gone. That is the ethics they learned while living abroad. The typical American will do anything to meet their monetary needs even if in short term while preparing and working to achiever their next breakthrough idea, job or income. The typical Nigerian (like you) will wail and curse the leaders and wish that a lot of money will come into their room while they are sleeping and therefore, they daily become poorer and more bitter towards everyone better than them. Again I am sorry for you. Your life seems hopeless and pointless. Please do everyone a favor and kill yourself . Biko.

ShoeGetSize: An empty drum beating from across the Atlantic Ocean is calling me a liar
Yes, there is dignity in labour, but there is no dignity in hypocrisy and you are the poster boy of hypocrisy. You got tired of wailing "Ebin pawa" in Nigeria when you noticed that it was not getting you anywhere, so you chose to cross the Atlantic and clean toilets for minimum wage. I have no problem with that. The only thing I have a problem with is that you no longer live in the prison called APC, but you still sing the praises of the prison warden. If that is not deep mental trauma, I don't know what else qualifies
If you don't start saving and investing that chicken change you're earning, you'll be no better off in America than you were in Nigeria. Don't allow all the efforts you put into toilet scrubbing to be in vain.
Why do people like you always believe that every Nigerian living in US/UK are cleaning toilets? Why do you all have so much a poverty mentality that you can't think beyond your own personal dreams and abilities? I feel so sorry for you Bros. I will leave you to weep and wail in peace. Sorry you hear.
ShoeGetSize: Unlike you, I'm one of the 1% who's doing good in life, even under the chaotic conditions created by your heroes😂 I make 7 figures, I drive a nice car and I live in a nice home. Unlike you, I don't have to clean toilets in America to earn dollars.
Continue to delude yourself Mr "one of the 1% who's doing good in life". If true I am happy for you, but I know empty drums make the most noise.
PS. There is dignity in ALL labor .Failing to appreciate this is the reason why Nigerians like you will continue to suffer and wail, because they don't want to work. They only want easy money. What do you do for a living Mr "7 figures" ? Yahoo-yahoo?
Anyways, N1 million is also 7 figures, abi? At today's exchange that is about $50 per month...or $1.75 per day.
ShoeGetSize: It's a pity that you took your lack of intelligence to the United States where people might erroneously suspect that all Nigerians are as dim-witted as you are.
You see, if you weren't missing a few marbles, you would have known that praying for Nigeria is a waste of time. People like you have been praying since 1960 and things have been growing progressively worse with each passing year. If that is not a sign to you that this sh!thole is beyond redemption, then maybe you are beyond redemption.
..
The shithole is beyond redemption and you are still there wailing for nothing? You area mentally abnormal person.
There is one parable about a man shitting into a hole. Flies are buzzing all over his head some entering his nose and mouth. But he just squats there and complain about the flies without going away. Please one name for that man. No be madman?
ShoeGetSize: Thanks for proving my point with your pathetic attempt at sarcasm Have fun trying to make an honest living on your paltry salary while you hail the same government that is sinking you deeper into poverty.
FYI I don't even live in Nigeria, and I should be happy that I can get more N for my $. But unlike you I am praying and hoping that Nigeria gets better and not cursing the leaders every day like people who are too lazy to be creatively employed. Again enjoy your misery.
ShoeGetSize: That is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Show me the "good" I'm supposed be excited about. Is it the fact that hundreds of factories have been either closing down or relocating since May 29th 2023? Or the fact that Naira keeps getting more and more worthless with each passing day? Or the fact that a 25kg bag of rice cost 40k a few years ago, but now costs 100k? Or the fact that nobody can travel anymore without fear of kidnapping? Tell me the good thing I'm supposed to be celebrating.
ShoeGetSize: Tell me, did Nigeria become a better place to live in after you voted for Tinubu? I'm just curious to know. In the past I would have blamed your case on stupidity, but surely nobody can be that stupid?
If I qualify to be called stupid then you and people like you are a bunch of bigass idiots. Otherwise how can you hope to be able to see the good in anything or anyone if your eyes are constantly hunting only for the bad?
