Have you noticed that Fulani Herdsmen are no longer the problem?

Politicians are good at people making a fool of themselves. Tribalism is not enough, there is need for something else for you all to fight yourselves.

I understand your point. But the Muslims are not exactly painting a good picture of themselves

They're always problematic anywhere they go
I think it's more of culture. I was watching a documentary about one of those countries.

Watch this and see how he reduced his anti Muslim rhetoics when it was not working anymore. Religion is simply the surface level issue but when we look at the history, Algerians will go to France to 'revenge' but when we look at their profile, many of them are Muslims so people think it's the religion. They don't consider the history behind why people are doing what they are doing and how it entered religion. I am not saying there are no fanatics, there are and they are everywhere. They want power and control but they use religion as a cover. Look well and see that it's man and his ambition to gain power. Aren't there Muslim countries where people still fight themselves to gain power? When we remove who they present to us as enemies, we then start seeing that the enemy was actually within. It was a convenient excuse to blame outsiders.

Rip

The far right in that country might use this to further drive their anti-islam sentiment

There's already growing disdain and resentment for Islam and immigrants from Muslim countries in Sweden
That's something interesting about politicians. In Nigeria, the government convinced us that Ghanaians were the problem, therefore, Ghana must go.

In Western countries, they are making it look like immigrants are the problem but the government knows why they brought in immigrants. For instance, an aging population and workforce but the government does not want to be blamed when there is breakdown of law and order. They want the people to blame law abiding immigrants, they don't want to accept blame that they failed as a government for criminals.

In South Africa, migrants are the problem not the locals.

Weren't Nigerians blaming Nigeriens and other nationalities for the Fulani terrorists? Who has the power to defend their own? Government. But they wanted the people to blame them instead of their inefficiencies. That's government for you around the world. The people are fooled to see themselves as enemies instead of the political class that were negligent.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Employment : I Lost My Job by papyjaypaul: 6:24pm On Jan 30, 2025
Give it a week or 2, you'll be fine. We don't need to know why you were sacked but if you did something wrong like stealing from your employer, use this as a moment of reflection. I heard one lady ask if she has the permission to steal from her boss because they were not paying her and the presenter asked her, will you take what does not belong to you or you will leave it?


If it was their fault, be grateful that you are now challenged to find something better. Think about it as a blessing because right now there is no guarantee they will pay your salary.

Politics › Re: Sharia Panel Saved Jarus' Marriage - Prince Adeshina Tells Yoruba Christians by papyjaypaul: 4:53pm On Jan 30, 2025
Another part is if the person married as a Muslim and changed to another religion or a Muslim man who married a non Muslim. Life gets complicated and everything is not theory.

Even people who marry abroad, because they are Africans, they don't use the oyinbo court to resolve their problems, they go the traditional style. grin

People have been managing their disputes using their pastors or imams but I don't think we need to announce sharia panel as people have already been doing it since. If they are Muslims who are religious, they will prefer Islam's way to the court. Even Baale de resolve marriage issues so let's be guided. I don't think these foreign constitution by the British can change who we are.
Politics › Re: Sharia Panel Saved Jarus' Marriage - Prince Adeshina Tells Yoruba Christians by papyjaypaul: 4:48pm On Jan 30, 2025
For instance, I'm listening to a show and the Igbo girl married a man which her family rejected. She went to the court for marriage but they insist that according to tradition, she is not married. In the eyes of the law, she is married. The law does not even need her parent to be witness but in tradition, your family must accept. Even in that, the father must accept not the women.

Now, the person in question did he marry the woman in court? But because he is a Muslim he has automatically been treated under Sharia. What if the woman insists on her right per marriage law of Nigeria? This is why we have confusion in this land and this topic is not about Jarus, it's something about we as a people.

Take another instance where people want to travel out, if they married traditionally, the law sees them as fornicators until they go to court to wed. Which one we wan use? The law is an ass again. Many people marry first wife under the law then second wife under tradition or custom. Or they don't marry at all in court so they can follow custom. They only do court wedding for official records but that doesn't stop another woman from agreeing to get married under customs as 2nd wife.
Politics › Re: Sharia Panel Saved Jarus' Marriage - Prince Adeshina Tells Yoruba Christians by papyjaypaul: 4:41pm On Jan 30, 2025
What we are seeing today is a clash of customs and law. The British knew this and now we are confused.
Family › Re: 'Marriage Sweet Die' – Man Brags As Wife Serves Him Meal (Photos) by papyjaypaul: 4:25pm On Jan 30, 2025
Boys will be boys that's why it takes a man to manage women. Mother in law vs wife.

The way to a man's heart is his stomach but the only thing the wife will give him aside good food is sex. A good mother will never let her child go hungry and the breast milk is the bloodstream of life. Give men food, for their stomach and for their sexual life. See the last picture how he looks like a hungry child.

You got schooled, cousin bro...
No one is the most knowledgeable on this earth. I even clicked the like and share button on his response. Why will people be proud to learn something new? A man who stops learning is dead, so I am happy to be schooled if that's what you call it. Still, cousin bro makes no sense but if some people use it as a term, that's alright.


CaptainGo:
I get your point.

'Cousin brother' sounds funny to me too. Indians tend to say that a lot.
'Male cousin' sounds better.
Why I was curious about cousin bro is because it gave an idea that the cousins were not siblings. My cousin's sister is my cousin. I will call her my cousin, not my cousin sis or cousin's sister. Why do I need to separate them when we are related? If he was trying to explain it to distinguish two cousins from the same family, the context will make sense but I can never tell my English teacher there is something called cousin bro/sis, he will look at me like something was wrong with me. Am I fighting my cousin bro? All my cousins are my cousins. Their parents are either my aunt or uncle. The only reason I thought he used that term was maybe if that person was a step brother or it was street language for brah. Anyway, English no be my papa dem language. E get as we de call am for our side

Lol. Are you one of those who think this will be limited to "illegals?"

2. Many countries actually have good reasons for absobing so called illegals and giving them a path to citizenship. Its nothing new.

3. What really do you think is the inspiration for this? Love of legality? Or something else?

4. Trump's forbears came as illegals. Elon Must went as an illegal.

I can go on.


Dont be simplistic.

We all know the root of this.
I always laugh when people make this assertion. You need to visit a New York museum to know how these people have been keeping records for over 300 years. You think they don't keep documents? You will see how they wrote names of people on the ships.

Don't be fooled o. Don't be fooled at all thinking they don't know about records. People that even keep records about your country, you think they don't do the same about themselves? grin The internet is there for you to see these records.

papyjaypaul:
Short answer is ENDURANCE. Endure the consequences of their decision.

Long answer below.
What APC coalition did to the masses is what the opposition should be doing now. People can now see that with hindsight, PDP was bad but not as terrible as APC convinced people to see them. We can see it with the tribalism and economy. We can see it with terrorism and insecurity. It is easier to criticise from the outside but if there is momentum, he will be ousted the same way the man himself organized people to take Jonathan out. The irony is that he may suffer the same fate as Jonathan too, even if he does well in office. That's the crazy thing about politics. Alliances that will give the masses an option. Some people are also just there to scheme things. Revenge and sabotage. After all, PDP governors sabotaged their party, which is what gave APC an inroad.

To APC, they don't want that kind of alliance as they have been in opposition before. They know what that means. The other option they have is to buy the masses by impoverishing them so they can be enslaved to them. What else can they use to divide the people that can work again? Religion? Tribe? People can now feel the reality of the propaganda. If Atiku makes a move to leave that stage and fund a candidate, Tinubu is in serious trouble. His ambition i.e. Atiku has affected that party which is the only one that can kick APC out. However, what Obi did with LP, in a limited time also shows that Nigerians are ready to vote anyone they believe in and that is also a threat to the establishment because it's not about party politics anymore. This is the reason why they actively attack the Obidients, thinking they are the new opposition. A jackpot will be hit close to 2027, something they did not plan for. grin
Obidients was EndSars 2.0 and by 2027, another group of young people will be 18 and they can vote. The thing with this young generation is that they can see through the BS and can't be easily influenced the old school way of using traditional media, analysts, influencers and more. Times have changed. A sentiment will come up around 2026 to 2027 that this government will not know how to convince the public otherwise, even if they are in power. That has happened to Jonathan and in many states in this country. By 12 years of PDP, people were already tired. Yar Adua's death helped them get another 4 years which was the nail that hit the coffin.

thesicilian:
Someone who has been in politics way before you were even conceived is who you want to make unpopular. Ok. Good luck.
I am not ready to argue. The results are there for you to see. If the owner of Lagos could not own Lagos, what are you on? Buhari thought he was popular and that is why he lost since 2003. APC showed him what partnership could do. Popularity in the North is not popularity in Nigeria. Tinubu did not win the Presidency with a popular vote and I don't need to support or not support him for that statement of fact. 1/3 cannot even impeach a governor or president, so how do adults see facts but just want to argue like kids?

Add Atiku and Obi's votes = 13 million while Tinubu had 8 million. Is 8 million out of 24 million voters popular? Keep arguing with the numbers.

No, you empty-headed jerk.

Don’t mistake your loudness and ubiquity for dominance and popularity.

Most Nigerians use the internet for fruitful purposes such as business, learning, or entertainment.

You vile group of malcontents use it to insult Nigeria and Tinubu.

That is why you Obidients are ALL OVER social media venting your hatred for Nigeria under the guise of “economic hardship”, despite claiming to be immune from such hardship, coming from relatively buoyant regions.

The north is the most deprived region of the country, so THEY should be the ones screaming loudest about the economy on social media.

And they DON’T.

But of course we ALL KNOW your hatred of Nigeria and Tinubu has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the economy.

You are just secessionist traitors.

Tellmeastory:
Did you even read the entire article before posting this rubbish?

The article stated that the feeding program had problems, including corruption and inefficiency which led to Buhari shutting it down for recalibration.

The article also stated that many children in the various states stopped attending school after Buhari suspended the program, as they’d relied on it for feeding.

Parents were interviewed who said they regretted the suspension of the program, as it saved them buying snacks etc for their kids.

SO IT WAS WORKING AND FEEDING OUR KIDS DESPITE ITS REPORTED FLAWS!

Tinubu has come in, and restarted the program after doing the necessary groundwork to ensure even greater efficiency and accountability.

Now he has ploughed 100 billion naira into it.

Give him a chance to make it work better, instead of condemning him!!!!!
Romance › Re: Is Getting Married To A Virgin Really Worth It? by papyjaypaul: 1:50pm On Jan 29, 2025
A virgin has no one to compare you with, so if her character is good like idamhe wrote, she will grow with you and give you time to gain experience. She is happy with what she has and will not look for something outside because she was disciplined ENOUGH to wait for you.

What if their reproductive organ is very small or tight and that's the reason they are virgins?
The same organ that will bring a baby into this world? Better not underestimate women. You should be worried about yourself. He who finds a good wife has found a wonderful thing.
Politics › Re: What Will Play Out In 2027 Election by papyjaypaul: 1:41pm On Jan 29, 2025
The Buhari's popularity Tinubu relied on waned at 2022. Atiku still has some popularity so he is the bride that everyone will be after. It's either he wants to keep dreaming about the Presidency or fund another person's dream. Tinubu can definitely be kicked out of office. He is not helping himself with appointing his loyalists by his side. They will tell him what they want him to hear but on the field, people are planning to be the next in line. Politicians are different from technocrats. This is one area PDP was able to separate. For this man in power, all that matters to him is loyalty, the same mistake Buhari made.
