Pavarottii:
From my observation, we are worse off than a year ago.

That is my point. It will be worse next year. And the next. And the next. That was how it started in 1960. It got worse with each regime and the result is the reality we have now.

Are you a zombie?!

A zombie is something or someone who takes sides. You do. It don't. When something is bad you don't justify it.

Ofemmanu1:
What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
APC govt is a double standard govt.

That doesn't mean you should justify it.

Pavarottii:
I don't know there is hardship in d country or wat?

When you say this is the most directionless government in the history of Nigeria, then to me you are young because if you can say that then how would you categorise the reign of IBB, Gowon, Jonathan, OBJ and pretty much every single leader Nigeria has had. For some reason you all think all these problems started today. It has been like this for half a century. If you don't maintain your car for years and it starts to develop faults, would anyone assume the problems just started today? Common sense would tell you that the owner used it anyhow and the result is a phucked up car. Nigeria is a broken state due to half a century of misuse.

HitlerGaddafi:
Who told you people cant personally build their own houses in the US?

What he is trying to tell you is that yes, the house will be built but in actuality, he would have bought it by taking a loan. It's called mortgage which is what everyone does in America. Hardly anyone owns their own homes outright. You don't have to be rich to own a house like that in America.

Ofemmanu1:
Zombies won't see this.
If it was Fayose or other PDP goons that bought the ppties, NL woulda been filled with st.upid zombie comments.
Being a zombie is hell.
Awon weyrey 100%.

Your analogy is like using a thief to justify the actions of a fraudster. How can you you use fayose as an example? Nigeria is really fantastically corrupt. From top to bottom.

cckris:
Is Buhari's Army Chief the most CORRUPT general in the history of Nigeria Army?

He is definitely not. If this can happen in a democratic government, what do you think happened during our military era?

Pavarottii:
This is the most directionless government since d inception of Nigeria.

People are going through hardship, they are. Busy distracting us d people and PDP Governors.

You are young so you don't know.

MarryMeee:
I have been with my husband for a while now and I can say we have been doing well for ourselves. But i have a problem with some relatives that are turning us into their atm machine. My husband has an uncle who has always had other people taking care of his children (5children from 3 different women) for him whilst he goes out to enjoy himself without a care in the world.

Last year my in laws asked us to take in one of his daughters so she could go to school in the city. I was hesitant at first since i did not know much about her or the father, but eventually I warmed up to the idea. Fast forward 6months later, I am sick and tired of it. She does not do her homework without being forced and sometimes she skips school. I have already been called 3times by her teacher making complaints about her attitude in class and her perfomance. If you do not dig for her homework from her bag she will not do it. This girl is already 11 and she is only in grade 4 and she bed-wets.

I do not usually resort to beating a child because I have told myself that should be the last resort, but at the same time I am tired of buying things for her because she is always destroying them. She will wear her best clothes to go play with mud outside and she has turned her school shoes in slippers. She is always losing her stationery and she has torn 2 of her school uniforms already. She once broke the toilet and we had to get a new (not toilet seat, i mean the actual damn toilet) and she broke the plasma in the living room barely 5months after we got it.

As if she is not a big enough headache, her father always finds himself in my house almost every month and he will not leave until you compensate him for coming to your house uninvited. Of course he will expect you to give him money and groceries to take home.

Everything has been frustrating my husband as well and he is considering taking the girl back to her father's house as soon as schools closes and to be honest i really do not have a problem with that, but my issue is that his family is against the idea because its not a christian thing to do (1Timothy 5v8)

To those who have been in the same situation, how did you resolve it amicably and where did you draw the line?

It is too simple. You need to set boundaries and have a plan for corrective action. I think you have given up because she is not your daughter. Ask yourself, if she were your daughter how would you handle the girl? Every infraction must be met with some sort of punishment and the punishment must fit the crime. E.g beating her for not maintaining her shoes does not solve the problem. Just keep patching the shoes until her feet starts protruding from the shoes and let her understand that the reason you are not going to buy a new one for her is because she does not know how to maintain one. Problem solving is a skill that needs to be learnt for parenting. Also, because she is not your daughter, you need to be careful. Document her infractions as proof so that one day when she cries and says you have been maltreating her, you have something to fall back on. Only mentally lazy people result to beating. Don't be one of them. As for the uncle, you husband needs to man up and draw the line too.

the best manger job in the world! if you loose you get paid attractive severance pay!

Not when you resign.

braine:
It seems like people prefer to quit after failing these days. What happened to those days when they tell us to get back up after falling?

That is why the NFF does not know what they are doing. Today's business world, you are hired for what you can bring to the table. In your interview, you will tell management what you can offer. Management would hire you based on this. Failure to perform will result in immediate sack be in the sports world or the business world. Nobody will allow you to "get back up" on their budget. Who will pay for it?

NifemiOlu:
Great.
I knew England won't go far.
How can Sterling and Kane...come on. Vardy is more rugged and Sturridge is cheeky but then the manager doesn't know what he's doing.

Being cheeky is not a good quality.

badthinds:


I will tell my mummy... going to Minna for studies may not be a good idea... isn't scared!
The other day a woman cut a child's penis, today a woman gave a child insecticide, now this (all in Minna)
Mummy!!!

Are you for real? Going to anywhere in Nigeria for studies is not a good idea. It is only by his grace that anyone survives. Nowhere is safe in Nigeria.

Onijagidijagan:
Always yoruba boys since 1940. It was Yemi Alade and wizkid(Yorubas) that shared the Nigerian's votes and preventing huge star like wizkid frm winning in the other category.

skepta another yoruba boy won d uk category.

You do understand that when BET gave him the award, they didn't give it to a "yoruba" boy but to a Nigerian. Smh.

fragilebeing:
From being rated ok to being under probation...

And then the constant laughing to my face by my colleagues... marveling at my woe...

To criticizing my presentation after saying it was spot on before the main presentation...

Well....... I'm too downtrodden to type.

Guy, to move forward you need to find out where you err'd. Ask your boss or someone close to him, which part of your presentation you performed poorly and try to read up on it. I would suggest you start looking for a new job because you do not have the respect of your superiors and your subordinates. It might lead you to being fired. Personally, I think you would better off looking for another job. Your boss is very unprofessional. You don't talk to your employees like that

You just have to phucking respect Ghanaian rappers. Olamide, take that.

If it were them dinosaur heads, they would have messed up the whole thread, hoffing their dirty red mud pynts
claiming they control blah blah

I'd have preferred it being in the SW tho but who cares

That babe who owns Omo Alata foods also made the forbes 30 under 30 list. Later, one otondo will jump
on his Microsoft word typing dust about how Yorubas are not doing anything

You go talk say na the ones wey dey your hood no dey do anything

At the end of the day, what has his name done to improve the lives of Nigerians. If anything, Nigeria's socio political existence is getting worse by the day. Is name checking the new rave in Nigeria?

Mickael2:
Please, Homosexuality is a choice. Before the NASS decided to ban homosexuality, they conducted a research on it and from what they discovered in Lagos, most if not all primary school students do not even understand what it is, it is when they go to secondary schools that the problem starts since they will invariably meet older people who will lure them away, if your ward lives in a hostel what can you do about it? Nothing, hence the need to ostracize them completely

Anything from NASS cannot be trusted. Plus, any research coming from Nigeria will always be subjective. How can you ask peoples opinion on an issue in a country where favorable opinion on the matter most likely will get you killed. It will always be biased. Homosexuals are normal every day people. Ever heard of Alan Turing? He is the father of computer science as we know it today. And he was gay. Are you going to stop using a computer because the person how steered us towards that direction was gay? I guess not right? We can benefit from them at our own convenience. Right? Anyway, you know my stance on the issue. Good day.

Flexherbal:
Hope they remembered to pray for Nigeria?

Lol...Half the people there, were there for themselves and for themselves alone. Going to church for most people is about "how do i get rich" and not about "how do i get to heaven". Baba pick my call oooo.

Mickael2:
Thank you. But when they start coming out in the open and corrupting our kids, we can't just look sideways can we? We have to distance ourselves from them

There is no way anyone can corrupt anyone's child unless you fail in your duties as a parent. Plus, homosexuality is not a choice. They are born with it. And since it is not a choice, there is no way you as a parent can control it. As far as i am concerned it is a disgusting orientation and you have to be really into it to allow someone put his thing into your thing. Either way, it is their life. Let them live it.

Truth is no one has the right to impose their beliefs on another. I am thoroughly against homosexuality but i cannot say because i don't like it i will hate them. As long as they do whatever they do in the privacy of their homes and don't rub it in my face, then they can do whatever they like. I know that there are some shiit i do that most people won't like. We all have, or do weird things. Live and let live.

kobonaire:
Ha ha ... the US army cannot be paying their SFC's $100K salaries ... then everyone will just leave their jobs in private industry and enlist in the army.
We just have his word that he's a SFC ..... it makes no sense how an SFC will be so jobless and on Naira Land 24x7 living on an army base??

Anyway, all i know is the reason your argument has dragged on this long is because you keep changing the parameters. Now you don't believe he is what he says he is. You doubted his income even though it is on a government website. Now you doubt his rank. From what i saw, even if he was two ranks down, he would still be making close to that. I don't know his work schedule, neither do you. I need to leave this country i swear. Anyway, sleep well. Good night.

kobonaire:
Yes - no doubt the US army does take care of their own .... did you look at the link you sent? You only make 80K if you have 40+ years of service .... I doubt this Oga is that old - based on his comments

I don't think so. From what i saw, 10 years of service will get you around 4k a month. Add that to the allowances of 2k. That is already 72k a year. Plus their housing allowance which is anywhere from 1500 to 2k. Omo, e don de enter 100k oooo. Not to talk of the other allowance he mentioned before. Which kain country be Nigeria sef?

kobonaire:
I don't think so bro ... the US society would not have many military discounts for their men/women if they were so handsomely paid.
I respect the US army for their bravery and service to country unlike our Naija military who are looking to chop. This dude was trying to be condescending to Nigerians purely based on his beliefs that he's "better then them" financially. So I'm giving him a taste of his own medicine

All i know is what i see, black and white. And it is on a government website. (.org) I thought soldiers don't get paid much but i guess i was mistaken. Can you imagine? We de suffer for Naija. 80k plus free heath care and insurance and free college. For America? I don die.

kobonaire:
Yes - thanks to the web, any meathead's false claim can be easily verified. I'm having a sweet time.
Have a good day to you too sir

Sorry one last word. I checked. He is correct about what he said. I could not believe it either but it is true. From what I saw, it list based on the number of years you've been in the military. Some earn more than that.

kobonaire:
I like toying around with meatheads who are condescending towards Nigerians

All I know is it does not seem that way because you are making effort to research what you are erroneously putting out. Anyway my two cents. Good day.

kobonaire:
Ha ha .... 80K?? ... and all you do for work is to pump iron for 5 hours a day (like you earlier posted). .... you are a joker and still a mügu and you DO NOT make more than 50K .... stop lying Mr meathead

I dey follow two of una since. Brother, the guy de tell you things and you de contradict yourself. First you say 25k. Small time you say 45k. Now 50k. Na winch one exatly No reply me ooo. Oga bollinger, e don do. You don prove your point.
