I doubt I would want to have much to do with a lady that cannot cook. I regard anyone that cannot cook as irresponsible, whether man or woman. You don't have to be a great cook but you should know how to cook the basics.
I believe that learning how to cook actually teaches one how to take care of himself or herself. And if you know how to take care of yourself, you can take care of your family, and country.
Traditionally, Nigerian men are not taught how to cook. You have so many guys that cannot even boil water for tea let alone cook.
A lady friend told me a funny story. She was sick and asked her husband to boil eggs for her. The husband came to ask how to boil the eggs. The woman was surprised at the question. She told her husband to just put the eggs in the pot and put on the stove to cook. The husband did as told but did not add water because the wife did not mention water. Of course the eggs got burnt. This is unbelievable but true, very true.
In the developed countries people generally cook for themselves. In the Chinese restaurants, the cooks are usually men. If you live in the developed countries, you will at least know how to fix something for yourself.
This apparent lack of basic life survival skills might have something to do with Nigerian (men) not being able to run the country. With all the rich resources we have, we don't seem to have the capacity to leverage them for our prosperity. So Nigerian men, start learning how to cook. Nigerian mothers, start teaching your sons how to cook, so that they will not end up like the man that cannot boil eggs.

Don't take him serious. He is making a fool of himself.

anibestlala:
if he was ,the army would HV told his family that he was OK before they had to come out public with his disappearance.

Some of you are really overrating this country. The poster said the boys that went with him all came back, with his phone, car keys and house keys. It's obvious the guy is no more. The family and friends need to be told how it happened and allowed to see the body so they can reach cloture. This is one of those situations that reminds one how messed up this country is and why some of us are not proud to be called Nigerians.

OMOTOWO:
was at the market today, and I think I should share a view.
The madam there is an Igbo lady that just got chicken for her lovely family.
The guy taking care of the chicken is from Borno and he gets N100 from each chicken he prepares and cuts to the sizes you want. He kills about 10 chicken every day and about 40 over the weekend. The baba that owns the chicken is a Fulani man.
Now, the commercial activity coupled with the demand and supply factor does not warrant any of these three people to ask useless question. The man that owns the chicken does not give a damn where who is buying his chicken comes from. The madam that is buying does not give a hook where who is selling the chicken is from, the guy that is preparing the chicken does not give a hook if the madam that owns the chicken is Igbo or Yoruba or slowpoke, all he cares is his N100 after he is done with your sturv.
What does this connote? The agitators of Biafra are politicians that ought to be arrested and charge to court for sponsoring civil unrest and public disturbances.
We are one!

If you don't have anything reasonable to say, it's better to keep quiet.

RaptorX:
You will give your life for the Israeli Defense Force when Isreal treats it's black citizens the Ethiopian Jews like trash, your mumu no get part two.

Nigeria treats most of its citizens worse.

coptic:
The mission was classified.

The boys he went with have all returned and they did with his mobile phone, house keys, and car keys. He was the only one who didn't make it back.

So what are the boys saying happened to him? If they came back with his phone and keys, they should have something to say about what happened. It's obvious though, that he is not alive. I suspect foul play, probably from friendly fire.

mezcri:
But on a plot twist. What if he has gone on a classified mission that is just yet to be finished?

We pray he returns safely though! Galant berom boy.
#jtown repping.

Give me a break. Classified mission in Festac Town, Lagos by soldiers? You are really taking this country serious.

ExInferis:
Most nigerians are underbilled.

They'll regret asking for meters when their consumption goes from 3k monthly to 10k.

Nothing to regret about having meter. You can control how much energy you use. You can switch gadgets off to reduce your consumption. I will prefer prepaid meter any day.

NwaAmaikpe:

I love prepaid meter die!!!!


If you get a good electrician to bypass your breaker's connection, you will know the true meaning of dividends of democracy.

People who do that should be sent to jail.

Great. Thank you SERAP. The government-sanctioned exploitation by the Discos is getting unbearable.

pastorcyrus:
FG is only trying to victimize those judges having seen the there is no tangible evidence of what was levelled against them.

Exactly. Kudos to the NJC for recalling them.

The NJC should not allow itself to be intimidated by this incompetent, corrupt, and vindictive administration. They are doing a good job of helping to maintain the independence of the judiciary. They should ignore those semi illiterates in the presidency.

Morons disgracing us. I guess they are showcasing how we will live in Biafra. Fools.

Great news. Looks like my man Prof James Momoh's appointment as NERC Chairman has started yielding positive results. These DIsco's will hear it. Thieves.

PMBNG:
Atimes , I wonder what would have befall the South if these oil wells where in the North.

Just because of protest you ordered someone out of your region, what would you have done if the federal allocation came from your zone?

If the oil was in the North, they would have chased everybody out of the area long time ago. There would have been no Nigeria by now. Very selfish and wicked set of people.

doublewisdom:
I thought only the Ibos were asked to leave the North? Wetin concern SW for the matter? Abi friendship don end?

Well, they issued the threat to the Igbos, but when they start their attack, they will not differentiate between Igbo and Yoruba or anyone from the South-South.

dallyemmy:
These people are worse

Which people, the USA? I'm not aware of the US military attacking and killing American citizens. But the Nigerian military routinely kills unarmed Nigerians, with impunity too. In Nigeria, the military are basically above the law.

dallyemmy:
So what can we do about it? Fold our hands and do nothing?

No, of course. First thing is to restructure the country so that we have a functional country. So that Nigerians will start seeing themselves as Nigerians, not as Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, etc. Then we go from there, and with time and the right policies, we will become productive.
Otherwise we will continue to run in circles, fighting over which ethnic group would control the center in order to have unfettered access to the crude oil wealth. Right now, that is what Nigeria is all about, basically a criminal enterprise.

dallyemmy:
Do we use the weapons against our citizens or terrorist?

Well, there are records of your soldiers using the imported weapons against unarmed Nigerian citizens.

DaudaAbu:
The same US that bombed chinese embassy and claimed its a mistake?
Despite the fact that they have the best trained pilots, and the plane is manufactured by them?

So they did not believe our own story that the iDP camp bombing was also a mistake?

Maybe the IDP camp bombing was a mistake. How about the other issues they raised, like the massacre of the Shiites? I'm sure you know that was not a mistake.

dallyemmy:
LET US BUILD OUR OWN FIGHTER JETS. LOOK AT NORTH KOREA IT'S GRADUALLY BECOMING A WORLD POWER!

DEN NOR GET TWO HEADS ABEG

When you don't have functional engineering schools and technical schools?

irynterri:
America : injustice to one is injustice to all
Nigeria: if it is not my tribesman /imam/pastor/faction of Islam I don't and we get surprised why we are not moving forward,
in a sane society there ought to be media onslaught about this El Zakzaky issue,irony of it all is that the person under whose rule the injured old man is under detention is going to the ends of the earth trying to save his life and expecting a miracle from God..hmmm

It's unfortunate but true. We are terrible.

SuperSuave:
This is not a good news for the country's military but a good news on the other hand for book haram and other enemies of the Nation

It's also good news for the Nigerians that want to be treated with civility and want their rights respected by the government.

Great. Kudos to the good US senators Cory Booker and Rand Paul. Nigerian military should not be sold any weapons until the military is reformed and professionalized. For now we have mostly thugs in uniform.

You should honor the invitation. But go with a lawyer and be sure that you are saying the truth. That policeman is in trouble.

tellwisdom:
U asked for help and help has come, now u refused to come forward to come collect it. U Nigerians eh....Na when we go stand on our feet and not fear death.?

We are very cowardly over here. And it's probably because young men are not required to serve in the military. That's why I would prefer that the NYSC be converted to mandatory military service.

Cooly100:
Thanks...We should have mutual respect for each other...People of eastern Nigeria can never fulfill their God given talents by being in Nigeria...especially the way it is strutured at the moment...Once Igbos introduce anything due to their creativity...The federal government will put a northerner their as the CEO, to kill the project...I give you an example with Nollywood...Go and check who is the DG of board of Films and Control...Igbos are just being suppressed in this country...Could you explain why the DG wanted ton nuild a 3 billion Film village in Kano and not Asaba or Enugu? Any easterner who supports One Nigeria does not think beyond food for his belly...

Even my very good friend from the core north, and a very senior Army Officer believes that Igbo are better off with their own country, that they are being held back by Nigeria. I was surprised to hear that from a Fulani and a Prince.

Kyase:
then leave the north quietly without begging na

I think you should keep yourself busy with the issue of Fulani trying to kick you out of your area in the Middlebelt.

Cooly100:
This is not the issue...the Igbos and other tribes who are contagious to the SE want out...We want to be able to develop at our own pace. We want to be able to get foreign loans and develop our cities without going to Abuja to beg..We want be able to build our roads without asking Abuja, we want to be able to compete without quota system. We want to have our embassies without travelling to Abuja or Lagos. We want all foreign airlines to come to the East...we have suffered having to travel to Lagos and Abuja first...We want to go to space by serious investment in R&Development..We want out people to be employed as they are recruited into Biafra army, police,Immigration, Customs, National Guard, Biafra elite commandos, Biafra Secret Service...We want to build international Stadia in our region,etc, etc...

It will be a win win situation for the rest of Nigeria and Biafra...as development would be enhanced. We hope to create mutual relationship and respect for each other.

Exactly. And this should not elicit threats of war from anybody.

Well said, like a responsible elder statesman should. Prof Ango Abdulahi should be ashamed of himself. That a hardened tribalist like Ango Abdulahi became Vice Chancellor of a major public University, says a lot about how we tolerate tribalism.

DoctorJones:
All those northerners​ calling for Igbo to go don't delude yourselves that we from the Niger Delta will stay with you in Nigeria. We will leave as well and form our own republic, you can keep your herdsmen.

They are really naive. That's what they are hoping for. The moment any group leaves, the rest of the groups will dash for the exit.

NairalandHowTo:
Save us all this long grammar. Pack your load and leave, Igbos won't stay in the north as foreigners. We don't want any diplomacy with them.

If the Yoruba misbehave, we will also send them out. We are not like you Unity Beggars

You are just a noise maker. And lazy one too. Get busy and be a little productive. Your misguided brothers are already backtracking.
