PoliticsRe: Adebayo Shittu: Some Of Tinubu’s Female Ministers Dress Like Beauty Contestants by phineas: 4:06am On Nov 03, 2023
The man needs help with his priorities,what's his bussiness with other peoples clothing? Ministers for that matter,his type should not speak in public,he is an embarrassment to the nation in this day and age.No one should give him any position or anything abeg.

I like that one man opposition squad phrase. He is the real one man opposition squad. Irrelevant nonetity
PoliticsRe: P&ID Scandal: Muhammadu Buhari Speaks by phineas: 3:26pm On Oct 29, 2023
I remember when this case first became public,Nigerians then advised Nigeria to settle out of court for a negotiated amount

That's the reason for this speech I guess

These are vile comments from vile spirits and trolls.May God grant her mother strength to bear the loss.

As for trolls that throw stones today at the woman for the loss of her child...it is against the way of nature,and they are careless words that you have all sown today.careless words Indeed.

Since you do not fear the repercussions of time,let us leave you and your vile hearts in the hands of time,they say it teaches lessons.hopefully you all get to learn
PoliticsRe: ‘We Must Try To Work The Talk’ – Interior Minister, Tunji-Ojo by phineas: 11:04am On Oct 20, 2023
This man should be careful in speech,he should talk less or better talk more on his results... we Know he is dedicated and capable but he needs to be careful.

That said he should please address the issue of Nigerians in african prisons over business related issues( not fraud),and there deliberate non visa issuance to Nigerian expatriates,while a lot of them work here with no Inhibitions whatsoever.

He should get us a toll free line to report when their visa expires by a day so we have people to arrest in a prisoner swap program for Nigerians with the same issue in their country. Lastly in the spirit of reciprocity,create a platform to document african maltreatment of genuine Nigerian expatriates and business men and start to address it with reciprocal policies

Just for the record,every one with an SSN has a file on them by the fbi,it can be requested for under the foi. You can request for the file they have on yourself if you want.

So having fbi files is actually not a big deal.

oz4real83:
You recruited and trained soldiers but still don't have a register for them shocked, there was once a country indeed embarassed
This one like many others do not know what the social register is, I'm not sure where to start, but its safe to say its not what you are describing here, I recommend you start with a google search and look up the agency NASSCO. Every developed country has this sort of register for its poor and vulnerable, we should not criticize its existence in Nigeria but rather strive to improve any weak areas we identify.
PoliticsRe: Social Register: FG Unveils Plans For Families Of Injured, Fallen Soldiers by phineas: 11:57am On Sep 05, 2023
This is long overdue, not just the social register, but every program of social or any other benefit reeled out by the Government, (and they are plenty). A percentage should automatically go to them,( I recommend 10%,) they ''more than'' deserve it.

May God bless the minds that promoted this, and the persons that approved it.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Did Not Apply To Join BRICS, Says Shettima by phineas: 11:54am On Aug 26, 2023
I am so disappointed that majority do not know of Nigerias "stay neutral" foreign policy stance.

You all need to study that,it's origins and since when.Thats our foreign policy direction,Nigeria only aligns with interests "its a friends of all policy" we relate well with Russia and the west,Nigeria takes no side as a matter of National policy,regardless of who is in power
Music/RadioRe: Afrobeat Is Nothing, Lacks Substance- Burna Boy by phineas:
Burna should not have said those words, and definitely not on a global platform.you promote your own no matter what,even if its crap find an angle to promote. This trait he has exhibited is the famous omo ale trait

For the record it's the same crap that brought him to limelight. And how many foreign songs have the famous meaning he seeks? Who remembers the first song to hit a million views on YouTube? What meaning or depth did gangam style have? But the world acknowledged that was entertainment at its finest...

Nigerian songs have their depth in their own way, their own topics , context and in our language.

Burna is a proud nobody,pride goes before a fall,and when they fall its loud.He should ditch that pride and pray not too fall.

That said,it's not about developing policies,it's about implementing them fast enough to see results and 4 years in that sense is not a very long time.Lets see how the team helps their IGR.Wishing the team best of luck.implementation in the land of those people will not be easy

PoliticsRe: Armed Forces Perform Kizz Daniel’s Buga On Democracy Day (Video, Photos) by phineas: 8:02am On Jun 13, 2023
Their son for inauguration was very "on point" the lyrics

......"God of the whole world hallowed be thy name(covers all religions)

......"If you(God) does not build the house the builders ,build in vain

......You are the begining and end send us your help.


The cultural troupe on the other hand deserve a warning.... In future someone should vet them first

First they portrayed all tribes bowing to a Yoruba king.That was divisive.Imagine if another tribe had been president.

Secondly their song at our inauguration...the lyrics say

Babalawo I have come to beg 2ce
They said I should not use my hand to touch my mouth
They said I should not use my leg to touch my mouth
I looked back and used my hand and mouth to touch my mouth...
The rest of he song is a blur to me....it's a folk song I can't remember much

Third put off for the culture troupe for me was dressing and undressing in public glare,they must have been other options...more persons ,a pop up tent for changing with security etc

In summary buga was a great improvement from the babalawo song

Kazaure. Is he not the senator that did "bring your 4 wives to work day"

That noted he had 28 kids and was aiming for more as a symbol that he was in charge of his 4 wives or some very immature statement that called his IQ to question while he simultaneously humiliated the women he married.

How did he come to lead such a sensitive committee? Talk about square pegs in round holes.

An on the topic of the roots of Benin.it has been addressed conclusively.Benin draws its roots from Ife.

Benin should actually be proud of that association.

Ha, ok you are making your fake history and your obvious lies about archeology in order to sell land 🤣
Been uneducated itself is not bad.But when you receive information refusing to ask more and learning more on the topic.Thats something Else entirely that's inexcusable.

I'll send you on a a learning trip.Find the most prestigious archeology institutes in the world.Go search their archeology department for their list of present projects.Thats a good place to start.

Christianity EtcRe: No Woman Who Has Used Earrings Has Ever Entered Heaven - Pastor Paul Rika by phineas: 10:31am On May 21, 2023
People need to read the scriptures more.

There's a place in the old testament where God described how he dressed Israel as of she was a woman. He described placing jewellery either on her nose or so can't remember.

The matter of dressing has been ,is and will always be about the culture of the time.

Pastors should stop putting obstacles to men reaching God.God himself said it's the innermost parts(thoughts) of a man that defines him. Let everyone watch their hearts.
CultureRe: Addressing The Misconceptions Regarding The Great Bini Empire By Yorubas by phineas: 11:12am On May 13, 2023
Vado2:
The Yorubas are primarily descendants of ex-slaves who moved from South America. Because they received a western education, they exploited it as a weapon to fabricate history and utilized cunning and treachery to gain relevance. The Oyo-Empire legend is all folklore. You refer to an empire that ruled over Dahomey, Contonu, and portions of the Upper Volta as a sub-kingdom? To overthrow the empire, they had to wage war. You must be joking I guess.
The fact that an African child write this is deeply disturbing. In view of the fact that history and archaeology clearly documents the existence of 3 oyo kingdoms so far (by location). Each one lesser in might and grandiosity than the previous one.And yes there is still an Oyo kingdom today

How do you all not know this?
CultureRe: Addressing The Misconceptions Regarding The Great Bini Empire By Yorubas by phineas: 11:08am On May 13, 2023
Hope you all know that ife has been one of the largest archeological research sites globally in the last 5 years.

With its archeological team from the best archeological institutes in the world. The findings so far are deep, very deep.

Yoruba civilization at ife is one of the oldest in the world. And they have their history well documented in writing and orally with its findings been corroborated by modern day archeological findings. You can all argue all you want the yorubas as a people do not play ,fight or argue on matters that does not in anyway improve them. Like that saying that "the lion does not concern itself with the opinion of sheep".

Here's a tip for you all ...buy land in ife, foreigners are doing so already.by the time those publications are made public after peer review. Ife will be viewed as a holy and revered city that it is globally.

Here's a fun fact.The title of Oni historically was that of a priest not a king.The story of the kings of ancient Yoruba is another story entirely ...

Peter Obi showed a weak character by allowing such negativity to be associated with his campaign without addressing it.

He is complicit as even his post election tribunal case which is his justification for rejecting the outcomes of the election was completely designed around character defamation.This shows his first interest was not the preservation of the National image or interests

Obidients need to call out the renegades in their rank on such acts and hold them accountable to acting better

Such hate speech needs to be addressed.

Let us remember that it was hate speech targetted at the police force during the end sars saga that led to the invasion of their barracks by hoodlums who went door to door maiming and killing people.

That led to the Governor's mother's house been burnt and many other crimes

Hate speech fuelled the Holocaust.Civilized society do not allow it in their midst.

This is wrong on all accounts..blackmailing kids and sending such horrible messages while at it.

Making this kind of money should be frowned at.If found guilty Their friends, families and communities should be called out on such characters within them enough for them to issue statements disowning such acts.

This is a shame to an entire nation not just the perpetrators and we must speak up against it

You all know there are locally produced beer and wine in Nigeria?(Guinness and co)

They employ, pay taxes and generate huge sums of forex for naija through export of their products...

Why should we then encourage the foreign brands proliferation of our markets at no extra cost to them?

The extra tax on imported beverages and beer is in order.

Surprised that a lot of Nigerians don't know or have not heard of this sort of identity theft before.

It's actually quite common and people should learn how to protect themselves from it. Heard of stories like this in the past especially with the UK.People lived whole lives with other people's identity, some committed crimes and fled and left the real person to face the heat

Either way this needs to be investigated to a conclusive end and the culprit fished out
