peepydelano: Yahaya bello should be more concerned about the rumour of bbn Pere and his wife Rashida and not getting worked up over his deluded ambition
OLULAW: Don’t be deluded. My uncle was a Catholic priest. He went abroad to study, and after completing his PhD he got a lecturing job in Canada, stopped working as priest. He is a very successful man today, a full professor in a top Canadian university. Many of his mates can’t withstand him in any form or shape.
Abdullahi Adamu is from the North Central, Nasarrawa State
MetaPhysical: 1. PDP Presidential aspirant Peter Obi attended the public announcement and supported Atiku to declare his Presidential ambition.
2. Just few days to PDP primary, aspirant Peter Obi stepped out of PDP Presidential primary and resigned membership.
3. Aspirant Atiku won PDP Presidential primary and was declared party flag bearer.
4. Peter Obi sent a congratulatory letter to Atiku.
5. Aspirant Obi crossed to Labor party. At its presidential primary another aspirant, Pat Utomi stepped down for Obi to win and become Labor party flag bearer.
Atiku has learnt from 2019 not to underestimate APC and its use of incumbent power to sweep opponents away. In particular, APC used cross-party alliance with SDP's Iyiola Omisore to edge Senator Adeleke out of gubernatorial victory in Osun.
SDP, Labor and APGA are strong in South.
Using strengths in Labor (his new party after PDP) and APGA (his old party before PDP), Obi can steer votes to Atiku and run him across the margins of victory should 2019 repeat itself.
Atiku is using one stone to kill two birds - 1. Dilute grass root politics in South so SDP does not become a formidable contender. Infact, SDP introduced Atiku to politics back in 1998.
He is using Obi to throw this kill. Hence Obi's actions lately.
2. Influence APC primary to nominate an underdog candidate.
APC Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu is from NE, same region with Atiku, and an ex-Chairman of PDP under Goodluck Jonathan, who is being wooed to cross from PDP into APC and enter primary race.
Now, Atiku must choose a Christian South for VP. He could end up calling Peter Obi to deputize for him, but he will not do so ahead of APC primary.
pocohantas: The problem here is, I suspect your parents never had a peaceful marriage. Probably your dad was abusive in one or two ways, hence your willingness to drag property with him. You should get a lawyer.
Someone just said children take over inherited properties. Lucky you!
You see everything through the prism of domestic violence's/Marital problems. Try dey disguise your insecurities sometimes abeg. You pocohontas will get married and have a blissful marriage. Wish it unto thyself.
serious question...where there any black people in America before the slave ships arrived? the word foundational black Americans seems new to me. cc: naptu2
Point of correction please...his Republic is not fictional but real as yourself....!!! The land mass and its people are all there visible for any to see....the map are not fictional map either but real map drawn from the existing one the British and French draw for us....!!!
Pls take note and make necessary corrections as you progress in your write up...!!!
Where's Beaf and Gbawe? Those two held the politics section down during the days of Jonathan/Buhari election/campaign. Turns out the two persons they reverently supported turned out to be duds? lol.
cont'd: It made no difference. Musiwa would simply register a new handle each time and return to post his maps and speak in the 3rd person about governing his quixotic Republic of Western Nigeria. Each one of the multiple handles he spawned would have a number after it, apparently signifying the number of times he had been banned. Upon getting to “Musiwa112”, he added a tributary handle called “Becomrich”, which did the same things as the infinite Musiwa handle - high-res images, never-ending maps, ban-resistance and all. The mods tried everything - keyword bans, IP bans, registration restrictions - but nothing worked on Emperor Musiwa.
Musiwa, or Emperor Ademusiwa as he styled himself, was a Nairaland OG and a true legend of the forum, having been a member since around 2007. Not that you would know it, because Musiwa had zero interest in engaging in normal conversation with other forum members. His sole reason for incessantly posting on Nairaland was to inform anyone who cared to listen that he was the “Premier of the Republic of Western Nigeria,” or “Emperor of the Western Region of Nigeria.” Following this declaration would ensue several megabytes of data-heavy images and satellite maps to support the existence of his fictional republic.
A newcomer to Nairaland might at first see the funny side of an eccentric individual who apparently did nothing else with his time except post maps on a web forum where he talked about himself in the third person, using a grammatically terrible but strangely endearing writing style. This would quickly turn into exasperation as Musiwa’s high resolution maps and images disrupted completely unrelated conversations, and exhausted people’s data packages in the days when N1,000 could buy less than 100MB. The mods of course, banned Emperor Musiwa. Repeatedly.
A little over a decade ago, before Twitter became ubiquitous, the best known platform for all-access public discourse in the Nigerian online space was a web forum called Nairaland. Nairaland was what would happen if you took Reddit and forced it to have an antichrist baby with the offspring of 4Chan and an anonymous Telegram group chat. It had useful information. It had copious amounts of utter nonsense. It had interesting and colourful characters. It had epic flame wars, some of which have continued to rage for over a decade, even as the participants change over the years. It had fun - lots of fun. It had the very worst of Nigerian humanity. It also had Musiwa.
I won't write much on this. However this article by David Hundeyin aptly captures the personality of the Legend that once reigned supreme on Nairaland. The hey days which we may never ever recover on this forum. naptu2 you must comment on this thread. You once did a thread on this guy a couple of years ago. I don't know if it was wiped off in the nairaland Tsunami of bygone years. If I didn't know very well, I'd have said you wrote this article on your friend below: https://westafricaweekly.substack.com/p/how-to-spoof-an-entire-career-the?s=r
InoGetJoy: Wahala dey o. If my Hausa brothers have learnt the ancient art of Skull Mining from the Yorubas, it means it's high time I leave this country for una because any thing a Hausa man starts, they tend to take it to extremes
Exactly what I wanted to type. If this technology fully enter their hand, we are done for in this country!
Very unprofessional video. Not only is the descriptive process slow, the blogger seems to unnecessarily elongate the video with fancy descriptions of things not even related to the topic. Who the hell talks about menstrual pain while making a video on jollof rice? This is sh!t!!
naptu2: All I know about him is that he was one of the "Nigerian Tourists".
He worked in the Railway Corporation and played for the Railway team (they were one of the best teams back then) and his performance with the Railway team led to his invitation to the National Team. @naptu2 was Tina onwudiwe married? I've read she had two daughters and a son..What more can you tell us about her personal life. He was a defender in the Nigerian National Team that toured the UK in 1949. They famously played with barefeet. I remember that he appeared on quite a few sports shows in the 1990s in which he talked about their tour of the UK.
Car folks/enthusiasts, Kindly give a lowdown on the advantages and disadvantages of buying/using this car for a first timer. I'll appreciate any information. God bless you all. @Gazzuzz
James4358: Hello my nairaland family. I'll make this post short & precise... I buried my dad around april this year. Am the only available child, as my elder brother relocated abroad in january & has refused to make contact. I took a loan to sponsor my bro's trip abroad, & also took another loan from my bank to partly sponsor the burial as all the family burden rested on my shoulders.. Last month, my dad appeared in a dream telling me to hurry up in paying a vow he made in church of abt 50k before he died. I was warming up to pay the vow this month's ending as am stil servicing the loans i got from my bank. He appeared last week to remind me but yesterday night's own came with severe flocking. Am stil feeling the pains from the cain he used at my back & joints.. How do i contain him before month end when i'll be bouyant to pay the vow. Am afraid he may return with more beatings,. & am jst 30yrs old, & wouldnt want to have any part of my body deformed as a result. Your suggestions wil be greatly appreciated!
I'll leave this for you to be the judge of it..In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, the story is told of a young man who haven met several misfortunes, decided to pay the Oracle a visit for the purpose of divination. " Your late father wants you to sacrifice a goat for him" the Oracle tells him He responded "Ask the spirit of my late father if he had as much a fowl when he was alive" I think I've answered your question OP.
raumdeuter: Goretzka contract expires in 2yrs, Bayern is keen to extend him, Goretzka wants the top band of Bayern salary 20M a year that are reserved for Neuer and Lewandowski
Bayern values Goretzka and Kimmich and they think both are crucial for our future but with Goretzka, while his performance are elite, his injury records are concerning. He wants Lewandowski money but he is not a tank like Lewandowski a player at 32 who hardly gets injured
I hope we can extend both Kimmich and Goretzka
Bayern already is paying for the errors in Sane contract situation, we signed Sane for top salary, his performances have not matched his salary thus others like Gnabry Coman Goretzka Kimmich are using Sane's salary as a measure (e.g I am higher than Sane in importance to the team so if Sane is earning 15M, then I deserve 20M). They cannot use Lewandowski to negotiate but they can use Sane to negotiate
