Religion and Nigeria.

I wonder why these people are so religious but can steal without remorse.

Sad to watch.

Let's assume it's not a skit. What did he do? His actions here are very calculated. He's not angry or even emotional. He's recording her and saying exactly what he wants the people watching the video to hear. That's not the typical reaction of an innocent black man. If someone is kicking you out of your own house, all you have to do is to call the police. The law is not arbitrary, so they won't support her blindly. But he didn't do that. He made a video saying things like "honey", "let me settle", etc. without addressing the reason he's being kicked out. He clearly seeks the sympathy of the biased African demography. The lady on the other is very upset and couldn't care less about sounding nice or pleasing anyone at the moment. That's someone who's been hurt.

Before y'all come for me, please know that no woman has the right to wake up and kick her partner out of thier house just like that. They pay the rent/mortgage together, and the lady has just as much right as the man (it's not like Africa where the man is the only source of income in many homes). To kick one partner out of the house, you must obtain a legal permission for that. Such permissions are given on the ground of abuse, cheating, etc. So whenever you see a man leaving the house for a woman without making a fuss, he must have done something that he wouldn't want to get to court. So they just give in at the moment and resort to reasoning afterwards or, like in this case, appeal to public sympathy.

I see how this video can be triggering to Nigerians who are used to having it the other way round. Y'all forget that men throw women out of the house everyday in Nigeria and nobody makes a big deal about it. The logic is, it is his house. So going by that same logic, when it is not just his house anymore, it makes sense that he becomes just as accountable as the woman.

I wish them peace!

OBJ has his flaws but he's one of the great leaders of Nigeria.

A rare photo of an Urchiin writing about why his oppressor should be allowed to keep Peter Obi's stolen mandate.

Agreed, we have a long way to go, but that is the nature of the ebb and flow of history and civilization. When places like Egypt and Persia ruled the known world, places like Brittannia and Germania were in the stone age.

In time, we will come of age.



You probably say this either from ignorance or a level of intellectual laziness, no offense.
Any well schooled person understands the strong co-relation. It is probably lost on you that all the developed countries of the world fall along certain latitudes and are mostly in the temperate regions of the world. This has been well established by advanced research in the worlds leading universities.



The average African spends almost no time on LGBTQ issues.



Did you hear a single word about LGBTQ issues in the campaigns and debates for the just concluded Nigerian Presidential and NASS elections?

DeepSight:
For the depth and variety of points the gentleman raised, your response is disappointingly shallow. Also your comparison with India and China is rather off - you are not comparing apples with apples. One of the biggest factors in civilization is the effect of climate and environment - the geography of a place plays a huge role in its civilization - and aside from this, a China for example is probably the oldest continuous civilization in the world.

It is true that we have our own demons and foibles but your response was way too shallow for what that gentleman put out.

ceaser:
I hope they won't try to hoodwink Tinubu into this nonsense.

Anyways I'm sure he won't even want to compromise himself being a professed Muslim and his wife a Christian clergy.

The western countries, thought they may appear desirable on the surface, are already ghosts of their former glories by the adoption of some of these crazy ideas which even birthed other terrible trends like gender dysphoria in children as young as 5 years.

The ones that have managed to stay off this trend like Russia and some middle Eastern countries are still able to keep their sanity.



Waoh! I didn't hear of this but I would love to have links to the full details.

But the hard fact is that many Nigerian politicians, wealthy men and people in the entertainment industry have at one time or the other needed to do things like this in order to be admitted into the circle.

Atiku was famed to engage in it. Nnamdi Kanu in one of his broadcasts (which I listened to) mentioned that Peter Obi is Atiku's receptacle.

FFK has at one time in recent past clap-backed at Dino Melaye as a gaybriel. And I won't be surprised if he (FFK) also has or engage in such fantasies because "only a thief sure can tell the footprints of another thief on the rocks".



Yet another. Such shame. May the heavens not bless us with hard-to-manage children.



Its sad really, the way Africans takes some issues unquestionably.

It makes us to see ourselves as inferior to a supposedly aryan or Caucasian race. Meanwhile Africa is the bedrock of civilization and it was only decades of pillaging by the whites that destroyed the rich African history and culture.

You should know that this "freedom to do things between adults" that you preach vehemently equally has strong opposition from many populations amongst the whites but they have sadly been forced by the few misquided that run their governments to align with such strange dictates. The small population that still manages to brave the storm and speak out, act out and point out against these abnormalities are the senior citizens who find it difficult to justify how these strange laws and way of life reflect the dreams of their founding fathers.

The west is the greatest hypocrite if you must know. It is they that perpetually labour to keep Africa underdeveloped through various means including sponsored coups, regime changes or outright assassinations of perceived great/promising African leaders. They act sanctimonious but they try to lobby your leaders, or force them at times, to keep doing evil or acting dictatorial and getting corrupt in order to further their own (west's) interest. Then they turn back to accuse you of failing to develop or of being held down because of corruption.

Recently,they come here to accuse African leaders of getting too close with the Chinese. But they have forgotten that the foray of the Chinese into the African continents has been less than two decades, yet their presence is trailed by lots of infrastructural developments in the road-and-belt initiative. But for the west that have frolicked with Africans for close to a century, it has been wars, famine, currency deregulation and all sorts of underdevelopment that they've offered us.

When China comes to Africa, it is to do mutually beneficial business. But when the west comes to Africa, it is to tamper with your domestic policies to their benefits and to your disadvantage.

It is even funny that this US diplomat that has been travelling across the African continent to discourage African leaders from forming alliances with China has been travelling through African airports constructed by the Chinese, driving on "African roads built by China", using "African trains built by the chinese", yet condemning African leaders for aligning with China.
.
The west was able to transit through her period of industrial revolution using fossil fuels and built herself to achieve this new dispensation of digital revolution. Now that Africa is on the trajectory of getting through her own industrial revolution (which can only be guaranteed with the use of fossil fuel), the west suddenly realized that there is something called global warming. Throughout their years of industrialization, they contributed 80 percent of greenhouse gasses that is giving us the current climate problems in the world, Africans contributing nothing throughout all those periods. Now that Africa is to need fossil fuel to industrialize and contributing less than 5 percent of greenhouse gasses in the process, the west is trying to mandate us to transit to non-industrial sustainable renewables.

Hypoxrisy is you building your own house with bricks but trying to encourage others to build the few they need to build with straws quoting depletion of earth sands as a reason they need to do that.

To know how deep the west is wicked even to themselves, you can't go to an Scottish bar and say that you want an "English breakfast". It will be seen as an insult. The US blew the NORD stream pipeline that supplies cheap gas to industrialised Europe, starving them of cheap energy source and almost plunging Europeans into deadly winter. Yet they come to Africa to preach to us about managing relations between African countries. Nigeria supplies Ghana and other neighbouring countries with electricity and gas, sometimes even to the disadvantage of Nigerian citizens, but the US, France and Britain have ganged up against Russia, using powerless Ukraine as a pawn in this game.

I can go on and on about the hypocrisy if the west, even to themselves. So please don't look down on yourself. You don't need to kowtow to the west in setting your own standard. As an African, I have had my own fair exposure with a brief sourjon in the west but I managed to keep my sanity all through it. As Africans, we have our own values and cultures that are sufficient to set our own standards and there is nothing wrong with preaching our own standards to the westerners too rather than allowing them to overrun our own standards with theirs.

kingthreat:
Thank you Museveni for your strong stance against male cocklovers.
Exactly why Nigeria needs a strong president that will stand on our values. No to homosexuality.
Not one weak man smiling sheepishly with a woman's voice jumping all around to do eye service to any country because he wants to be president. He go go court tire.

P/s: Please I didn't mention anybody's name. Ignore me abeg. I am not your problem

Inec is not mandated by any electoral law to transmit results electronically. If dis is the basis of OBi's case in tribunal, he's just wasting his time and resources.

It's Time To Abandon Politicians And Face Your Life - Deji Adeyanju Tells Nigerians

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

Today's presidential election is very important. We've experienced economic stagnation & contraction due to both external and self-inflicted factors. We've experienced an epidemic of kidnappings and violent deaths due to banditry, terrorism, ethnic clashes, and separatism.

According to various presidential polls, We are faced with a historic three way race. Any one of them could win today, which means that you don't have to worry about the spoiler effect. Instead of voting for the lesser evil, you can vote for the best candidate of the 3.

I therefore urge you to consider the responsibilities of the presidency - improving the economy, securing the nation, strengthening our democratic institutions, reforming the legal system - and pick the candidate who is most likely to perform excellently if he wins the election.

Vote for someone who will appoint the best Nigerians at home or abroad to their administration. Vote for someone who will unite the country and strengthen our democracy. Vote for someone who has the physical & mental vigour required to handle the toughest job in the country.

Don't vote for a mediocre candidate just because you think the best cannot win. Vote for your best. This time, your vote won't be wasted.

Thank you, and good luck to Nigeria!

Throwback:
But Deji did not say it is the Supreme Court ruling/order like this case of currency swap.

I tell you this for free, no Governor in Nigeria can disregard the orders of the Supreme Court.

Why not Deji tell us that in disregarding the ruling of a court, it is because the matter has been appealed to a higher court.

Only Presidents like Obasanjo and Buhari have always disregarded the Supreme Court.

Penguin2:
And unfortunately, your history class stopped in the 1993? And even in 1993, who won Anambra, Obi’s home state, between Abiola and Torfa?

Who did Igbos vote for in 1999?

Who did Igbos vote for in 2003 even when Ojukwu was on the ballot and Buhari had an Igbo man as running mate?

Why do you engage in these kind of lies and propaganda?

If the Yoruba's don't get the position then let's the North rule Forever, I can't just experience some group of region to start ruling us, that will cause a catastrophe, some people are hiding under the canopy of Obi since they claim peter Obi is becoming more or less like a Simp, thinking if he wins they will be able to rule and turn Nigeria upside down like they want, some group are after Nigeria money and natural resources, that's why they have been working so hard to conquer Lagos, so has to inherit what thier generation does not build or work for. Anyway let me rest my case as I watch through.

LordAdam16:
You acknowledge we are living in an "irrational dystopian paradise", but you are expecting things to be different for one day of the entire year.

LordAdam16:
I know Nigerians regularly have perplexing thought processes, but this takes the cake. It makes the "let's try Buhari" in 2015 seem tame.

LordAdam16:
You know if the election is rigged, Obi will not win.

LordAdam16:
As far as I'm concerned, Obi is a protest vote. You're voting for him because you are disillusioned by both leading candidates and don't want to sit at home on election day.
