Romance / Re: My Girlfriend Told Me She’s A Water Spirit (mami Water) by Pendragon001: 11:50am On Feb 12 |
you should thank your stars that you met her, go to elders in your village and ask for certain prayers and offerings you need to make to fully maximize the potentials that your relationship with her offers. put everything on the table from the beginning to let her know where you're going and try as much as possible to faithful to your own conscience. don't let anyone use religious jingoism or crass naivety to confuse, if your stars align and she is truly what she claims and she loves you, you have everything to gain if you are not the lazy type. Note: they can be overtly jealous, stubborn and protective, that's why you need to wisely and maturely handle every situation that arises between you. cheers!!! 5 Likes |
Agriculture / Re: What Would You Do With 50 Acres by Pendragon001: 10:51am On Nov 08, 2022 |
will divide the land into six portions for easy accountability, one portion will be for animal Husbandry where I will raise goats, chickens, cows, sheep, ram, snails and fish if there's a flowing river nearby. one portion will be for planting cereals like corn, millet, wheat etc. one portion will be for plantain and banana farming, one portion for yam, potatoes and cassava farming, one portion for palm oil farming, last portion will be split to plant things like pineapple, oranges, mango, watermelon, melon, cucumber, pepper, tomatoes onions etc. and a small part of the land will be used to build food processing factory so that the farm can be an end to end production house. |
Sports / Re: Tokyo2020: Tobiloba Amusan Narrowly Misses On Podium Position, Finishes 4th by Pendragon001: 10:48am On Aug 02, 2021 |
i wish i can love your comment one million times. if people pay attention to details just as you have pointed out, we should all bury our heads in shame rather than applauding a 4th place finish. Note: I am not condemning the athletes themselves, for everything they have been able to achieve thus far is by personal effort which the Nigerian nation still manages to frustrate every step along the way, for I can imagine the psychological impact the disqualification of ten of their colleagues would had on them. szczescie: |
Family / Re: Family Problems About Remarrying by Pendragon001: 8:26am On May 14, 2021 |
if you love your children and yourself, the best time to send her away is now. if you make the mistake of getting her pregnant, you might live with regrets for the rest of your life. plus even though I don't know her story quite well, but I have seen enough situations to know that her husband didn't abandon her as she claimed. you will soon know the truth, but let's hope it is not too late then. family6644: |
Politics / Re: Disclaimer: Re - North Dominates Nigerian Army Recruitment by Pendragon001: 2:39pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
The Nigerian army rebutal shows that they are smart by half, is it true that the north east got a total of 61 recruit instead of 50 if we are to go by the analysis of 8 candidate per states and the extra 2 added to the other geo political zone. note that there are six states in the northeast. is it also through that the northwest got 64 candidates instead of 58 that they are entitled to based on the analysis in the rebuttal because there are seven states in the northwest and 7*8=56+2=58. all of you rushing to hail the rebuttal without asking further questions need to refund your parents your school fees. 2 Likes |
Family / Re: My Mother-In-Law Buried My Son's Placenta by Pendragon001: 1:58pm On Mar 01, 2021 |
either present or not, his mother-in-law has no right to do anything concerning his child without his express permission. to the guy, you are the one that knows where the shoe pinches in your relationship, but you have to consider several factors before making your final decision, in the meantime, you can ignore everyone and be alone to clear your head and know what you want to do next. childs naming can be done anytime you feel you're ready, just let them know that they can't give name your child as anything they do in that regards is a waste of their time. I, like many people here may not understand exactly how you feel because scenarios will always be different, but having been in and survived a suffocating relationship, I will only say do what is best for your sanity and be truthful to yourself when answering the questions as to why you don't want her anymore. But above all know that time and patience resolves a lot of things, don't loose a diamond while picking up stones. chatinent: |
Family / Re: Woman Seeks Divorce After 25 Years In UAE; Court Tells Her To Return To Husband by Pendragon001: 10:31am On Feb 04, 2021 |
a lot of people are blaming the lady without understanding her plight. she is 40 now, meaning she was married off at 15, deprived of proper childhood and teenage experiences. now she's a full blown woman who just wants to assert herself, it's not just about the money and don't be quick to use your Nigerian poverty stricken to judge her, there might not be any side cock anywhere, every human being desire and deserved to be free it is shocking to see Nigerians who come online everyday to talk about Yorexit, Biafrexit etc which is simply a demand for freedom from a forced marriage coming here to judge without thinking deeply. 1 Like |
TV/Movies / Re: BBNaija: Ogun Youths March For Laycon, Give Out Airtime For Voting (photos) by Pendragon001: 11:31pm On Sep 25, 2020 |
ON THOSE WHO MARCHED FOR LAYCON IN THE NAME OF OGUN YOUTHS It shows how senseless we've become as a nation and as an organization. And to think this is happening in my state makes it doubly disgusting. When custom officers were killing innocent youths, secondary and primary school pupils at the border towns between Ogun/benin Republic did Ogun Youth March? When herdsmen are rampaging and killing our people in parts of Imeko, Ogun/Oyo borders around mamu, ogere, Oru Ago Iwoye axis and rather than face the issue some power brokers were even suppressing it from making the news, did Ogun Youth march? When police officers in the name of SARS /Efcc were marauding our streets and cutting short the life's of young and promising innocent talent, did Ogun Youth march? When Ogun Youth were representing at cowbellpedia or when they were manufacturing Covid test kits at FPI, OOU and some other places did Ogun Youth March to drum support for them? We are shamelessly bereft of ideas, that's why we can be proud of this nonsense when youths in Egypt are currently marching for good governance. The youths in Mali saw to the end of a non performing government. And don't dare say you can also organise your own March for what you believe if you are not comfortable with this one. Check my records out, some of which are here on zuckerville, I have always been organizing, leading, joining and supporting marches for a better Nigeria consistently in the last 20years.

Politics / Re: Femi Adesina: I Hate Trains, Bridges, Rice, Tallest Building East Of Niger by Pendragon001: 8:02pm On Aug 21, 2020 |
With this write up, bro Femi has shown that he is the worse mediocre ass licking praise singer out there and a forgetful one at that. He forgot to mention that 70% or more of all the projects he mentioned were approved during the previous administration with Nigeria having fully paid their counterpart funds for many of the projects that were JV before the last administration handed over to them and they just took delivery of the already paid for materials when they came in. I don't have time to respond in detail to such an egbon who was once a beacon of excellence that some of us used to look up to, only to sell his integrity for a pot of porridge. If e sure for them that they're doing well, why are they not holding press conferences and allow real journalists and not those they've given brown envelope to to grill their government from time to time, why are they trying to gag the media under the guise of NBC code? 2 Likes |
Webmasters / Re: Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Nigerian Developers - Photos by Pendragon001: 12:45pm On Aug 31, 2016 |
A country and its value system It is no longer news that the founder of facebook visited Nigeria yesterday. As expected, every tweets, instagram feeds and of course facebook post was all about this young, gifted but humble man who though is about same age with me, but has achieved and touched more lives positively than I can ever imagine to touch in a life time (though i know there is room for overtaking). But in this brief peace, though i know I can't exhaust all the ways Mark Zuckerberg challenged our value system as a people, but I will touch on the few one's that quickly comes to mind. 1. Mode of entry: he came in silently (like the biblical thief in the night) without much fanfare and noise, that I am tempted (a) to believe he doesn't trust the Nigerian security apparatus to give him adequate protection and therefore believes the best bet is for him to sneak in and before any kidnapper or other person who might have ulterior harmful plans towards him could strategize, he would have been long gone. (b) he was raised with a value system that understands that (in alhaji Alabi Pasuma's word "ariwo ko ni music) noise is not music. Compared to some Nigerian bloggers who just because they have about 2million participants on their platform will not allow us to rest with silly and unnecessary information just because they want to come from Lagos to Abuja and even sometimes from Lagos island to mainland. 2. Mode of dressing: it is not new to see a yahoo boy who just swindled someone of $500 to be dressed in dog chain, sagging his trouser (showing of a dirty boxer short ), thinking he has arrived having spent all the money on clothes and fake bling bling with an unkempt dreadlocks. But here is a man worth $54billion, yet dressed in something not up to $500 (he's not even wearing a wristwatch). (a) apart from yahoo boys, you also see some banks and so call fortune 500 companies whose total asset is not up to $10billion and the will be using dressing, age, ethno-religious affiliations etc. instead of content of the applicants head, to judge during recruitment exercise. No wonder many companies have lost the service of geniuses they ought to have employed and have settled for average performers who knows how to dress or speak to impress (I am putting this one in because all my classmates who are first class students are not good dressers and I habe observed them ober time that they perform better when they dress simple than when they dress to impress) 3. Mode of meeting people: while a Nigerian local government chairman or governor (just because he has managed to acquire $50million through fraudulent means) will be disturbing our peace with siren when passing by our neighborhood, just to get our attention. This $54billion dollar clean money trekked the streets of Yaba, Lagos without heavy police escort, and met everyday people doing what they know how to do best at CC HUB, ANDELA Nigeria and a few other places. There are many other things to consider, in his coming to the most populous black nation on earth (at least we know his visit is not a charity case visit, its a visit to explore the brimming technology potential that is written all over the walls of the country, but our clueless leaders couldn't see. And instead of investing in it are asking our youths to go back to farm. (N.B. non of the top 20 economically vibrant countries in the world is an agrarian economy, but thats a talk for another day)). The difference i see between Mark Zuckerberg and all that I have compared him with is the value system of the environment where they grew up. Nobody will give you preferential treatment in most western countries because you're a rich man, neither do they have time to be drooling at your feet, because higher percentage of them too are gainfully employed and so don't have time for nonsense, reversed is the case here. The value system here taught many of us that except you show off, you won't be accepted, that's why you see many young couples go into heavy debts just to put up a show stopping wedding, and also some borrow to by aso ebi while neglecting children school fees. The value system here don't care where and how you got the sudden wealth, all they want is, jusy get the money. That's why Nigerian youths will come online to celebrate thiefs who are bleeding the economy dry because of their ethnic or religious affiliations to such thiefs. If we must see the radical and progressive change we desire to see in Nigeria the first place to start from is a change in our value system. We must stop honouring a thief or a tyrant because we share the same ethnic or religious affiliations. We must learn to call a thief a thief and a tyrant a tyrant instead of celebrating their shenanigans. We must begin to let our conscience instead of our sentiments to guide us when addressing personal or national issue. Until we start re orientating ourselves on the positive values we must hold dear, values such as hardwork, probity, accountability, meritocracy, dignity of Labour etc we are going nowhere as a nation, I rest my case for now.
