See this newbie.
You most certainly arrived Canada within the last 10years & already forming landlord. grin

Go ask your seniors who got there in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, let them tell you what they had to hear and go through at the hands of Canadians, worse things than you can ever imagine.
Always claiming to know it all. What's the colour of your problem?

Dude ... to be honest, has anything worked in Nigeria for the past 60yrs? We need to review the whole country. I have said it a million times we need to change our mentality and be disciplined. The herdsmen have been in nigeria since I was a child, why is it now they keep killing in the south/ middlebelt? Believe me it is political Just like Boko Haram before it got out of hand.

I know you don't care about England and all their fairytale problems but your point about Nigeria is what got my attention. Are you going to blame the sokoto state governor because Edo state is not developed? Is somebody in Kano going to blame the governor of Abia state because there are too many almajiries on the road? Collectively we are all suffering because of corruption, greed and bad leadership and it's making people angry and frustrated.

What makes you sure that drifting apart will help the situation. After drifting apart kidnapping becomes worse, police brutality becomes worse, armed robbery becomes worse, this tribe accuses the other tribe of cheating - what will you do now, drift again?!?!?! Just look at South Sudan who should be the richest African country now but it's from frying pan to fire because they had civil war and Uganda had to step in.

It's easy to just sit and imagine but when reality sets in it's a different story with out proper plan. Believe me Northern people are one of the most genuine people you will ever meet but it's always the bad people that make too much noise. We all need to change to make this country a better place not onley for us but for future generations.
I must admit you have a valid point. I've had this Hausa tenant I inherited from my dad for like 7 years now and there has never been any problem between us. I'm not an ethnic jingoist and i don't hate no tribe or race. I always believe that every where you go, their are good and bad people.

However, senseless killings and pervasive insecurity got me. Every person that dies is a loved one to somebody that would be missed. Every life should matter. When I look at my two kids while sleeping, I shiver at the thought of what is being experienced in Benue, Southern Kaduna and like places. It doesn't have to be this way and we must do something fast to arrest the situation. Any effort towards that direction would be appreciated but to just keep paying lip service to this thing gives me the creeps.

I must confess that in the recess of my mind, I'm afraid that Amotekun is a monster we are building now to kill of a particular problem, after that problem, wouldn't it start killing us and turn into a problem itself? However, since its a step towards stopping the pervasive insecurity, I have no choice but to support it. I just hope they create laws that guides it activities in a way it won't turn into another problem for us.

I've looked at South Sudan that came out worse off and I've looked at Eritrea that is better off. I have noticed the Europeans have thrived as nations rather as countries but i know that if America, Canada, Australia as multiracial, multicultural countries are working, Nigeria as a country too can work. We just need a change in orientation and right leadership that is desirous of it working. Unfortunately, we are down on both scores hence my view towards looking at nationhood as an option to a diverse country. I just want working solutions that are tailor-made for Nigeria's peculiar problems. Honestly, I always hope and pray that l see the Nigeria I dreamt of when I was a kid. Not this mess.

Well since you asked nicely, let me tell you what my problem is.

My problem is that I have an extensive knowledge on world issues (cultural, religious, societal, entertainment, political, social) cutting across regions and countries.
I could just as easily talk to you about Emperor Nahurito of the Chrysanthemum Dynasty of Japan who became emperor last year after his father (refusing to die and too long on the throne like Queen Elizabeth 2), decided to abdicate for his son to take over.

That I know these things is always amazing to people like you whose mental vibrations operate on a much lower frequency, which is not a bad thing either. You only just have to do more if you desire to be informed on more things instead of accusing those who are of claiming to know it all - this is just a simpleton's justification for their ignorance.

What I have is a gift, it's God given and really not my fault.
Hating on it means you're hating on the work of the creator, and this is not good for your Chi (not your name, but the Chinese Chi) and your karma.

Have a lovely day.

Don't make a sweeping generalisation on the depth of my knowledge. You don't know me. I made a clear observation because I've been reading through your comments, which of course, made me understand that you claim to be an authority in something that you aren't. What you know, what I know, what we all know is but a fragment of reality.
So stop running your fingers in your keypad, hiding behind some screen and trying to show everyone that you're a know-all. It doesn't look good on you, huh?

Hiding? Lol.. There are people here who know exactly who I am, and know I don't just talk about things willy nilly. That you're ignorant of information or my identity, is really your personal problem.
I can't lose sleep over that.

A truly knowledgeable person would never expect anyone to dampen their intellect just to accommodate her obvious lack of it and the distress it causes her seeing someone she can't match in knowledge-base...this is how I know you're a simpleton, it's not a 'sweeping generalization' (poor choice of words from you BTW)

You also can't tell me what looks good on me, you don't know me and you should not care...so quit masking that painfully willful ignorance of yours with faux concern.

Did you understand any of the above at all, or do I need to use google translate to render it in Igbo language?
I'm asking genuinely because my first response was already quite clear enough in giving you an answer to your question ...so unless you just want to be noticed, then I really don't see why we should continue having this conversation.

crackkhaus:
I'm shocked you only had an issue with being addressed as a 'girl' and not the 'baby' part of it. cheesy

Anyway, let me humor you since it means a lot to you.
Only one point in your entire post is to be addressed and that's you calling Meghan a "first rate" (whatever you think this means) actress.

You see, being honest should never be interpreted as being hateful, having sinister motives, or trying to reduce someone's worth. It is just plain honesty.

Hollywood has a scale for measuring the pedigree of actors/actresses - A-list, B, C, and D-list. (Note: not rate)
Meghan Markle is on the C-list.

- A is strictly for box-office movie stars whose presence in a feature film can rake in the mulla at the cinemas.
- B is strictly for big television stars (most are former box office stars) who are the main actors/producers on their own shows, or just the main cast of actors in a long running show (syndicated).
- C also encompasses television stars, but is reserved for those whose career on television is not quite up to the pedigree of those on the B-list. They are known by face, not by name.
- D is for reality show stars, game show hosts, etc.

I did not create this hierarchy, you can take up your issue with those who did.

Every other point in your post has been addressed on the thread. You can scroll through baby. grin
I tend to respond to the comments of people I think are quite intelligent. Please accept my apologies for thinking you better than you actually are.
Re: How The British Press Reported On Meghan And Harry by armyofone(m):
Hopefully the media will leave them alone and after the one year rest, they go back playing their roles in support of the queen and then his father -prince Charles.
I think prince William being against the relationship from the beginning didn't help matter.
Anyway hmmmm cheesy @ their new home pix! My dream home!!

It’s quite clear except y want to be mischievous that all the nonsense stories you added up were written by d same British media who obviously hate Meghan ! A side by side comparison to Kate makes it quite obvious - yet u still ridiculously quite from these stupid stories like I were there when she was doing all those things ? Iv noticed a lot of Nigerian men project their love of disrespecting their wives or generally women onto Harry - even more so cause she is what u people hate so much - a divorcee ! So I would ignore clear racism as a black person just to show ur hate . Better go and sit down .
crackkhaus:
Surely you must realize that when people don't like you, it really won't matter if you're doing nothing wrong, they would still find a way to make you look bad.

The bias against Meghan was watered by none other but herself. You can see one of the articles you posted called her 'dictatorial', they may not be far from the truth.

I followed the whole ruckus leading up to their wedding in 2018 up until the wedding itself. You should not take my word for it though, you could make some findings on your own regarding just how much she tried to break almost every protocol regarding how the wedding should go.
A lot of things were changed/altered just to accommodate her preferences - from the flower choices, to the aisle leading up to the alter that was made wider because it's what she wanted, etc.. There was a lot more which I can't even recall off the top of my head.

Now no one is saying she couldn't have creative control over her own wedding, but when you marry into a monarchy that has a certain way of doing things in keeping with age-long traditions as old as her own ancestors, then she probably should have simmered down a little. She got what she wanted most of the time because the monarchy were happy enough to make Diana's little boy happy, but she took it too far and got used to it.
After the wedding, she kept trying to get them to do things her way and most of the time she would get it, but guess what, the British people only resented her for it because she was now effectually implying that their ways of doing things was not good enough for her, her own way was better...it wasn't just an emotional bride trying to make her wedding day perfect anymore, this was a woman who had no respect for the Monarchy and its ways. She confirmed what they already suspected and gave oxygen and water to the bias already working against her. And to make it worse, she was not even that big a celebrity in Hollywood in the first place.

This kind of resentment will obviously make them troll her at every given opportunity...no one holds a grudge more than the British.

If say, a single never divorced well brought-up Beyoncé (still black and American) was the one who married into the royal family, she may even get a softer landing than Meghan. If a Beyoncé DIL wanted the Queen MIL to dance single ladies inside Buckingham Palace, she may have gotten away with it, just because she is a Beyoncé. Get my point?

Meghan already had everything working against her from the start - previous failed marriage, dysfunctional family set-up, being biracial, and an American actress (not even an A-list, which may have been a plus). The least she could have done to warm her way into the hearts and minds of the British people, is to at least appear that she gave a shit about the way things are done.

I'm NOT sorry to type this, but I will because it is what it is:
Meghan did not do Windsor a favor by marrying Harry, Windsor in fact did her a favor by allowing her become a part of their family and she should have acted accordingly and not take a mile when given an inch.

It's what it is.

His uncle is being called a pedophile by the same British press. His uncle, as in the Queen's son who is even further away from the throne than he is.
So what point are you trying to make?

Has that one run away? cheesy
do u know what it means to know that the actions of ur extended family is dirctly or indirectly linked to ur mom's death, depriving u of having a mother very early in life? they practically drove Diana out of her mind.

Meghans family is the most useless and despicable racist family. With that her sister that looks and sounds like a bush rat. They are really low class people. I will cut off a family like that too. Useless people would have brought her more shame and ridicule in the British press. They are bad and rotten news.
Meghan's family and stepsister actually brought her to shame. From the minute she got engaged to Harry, they kept selling bad stories about her to the press. Her stepsister was out to grab any money she could find, and wanted the limelight all for herself.

Her father kept trying to milk the event for what it was worth, by chatting to the press all the time and showing off. Unlike Meghan's mum who kept a dignified silence, all through.

Her dad even had a photo shoot and rambled on like a parrot to different media houses, which the royal family frowned at seriously.

They made their displeasure known, and let Meghan know he would not be welcomed at the wedding. Meghan's father then realised how much he had goofed, and pretended to be ill, in ordering to avoid the wedding.

Meghan actually bent backwards to please the royal family, at her wedding.

And to avoid any ambiguity, he insisted: 'What I want to make clear is we’re not walking away.'

At this point, I regret to say I burst out laughing.

Oh, I know, I know…the only accepted narrative, certainly on Twitter, is that the mean, beastly, racist media has driven out poor Harry and Meghan with our despicable antics.

We shamefully refused to let them lecture us about the environment AND use private jets like taxis!

And we had the audacity to think a $500,000 star-studded, baby-shower party in New York was a tad inappropriate given that Harry and Meghan were busy urging us on Twitter that same week to pay more attention to poor people.

Oh, and we shockingly suggested that if you’re going to have the taxpayers fork out $3 million on refurbishing your home, you should probably not hide photos and details of your son's birth or stop the public taking your picture at Wimbledon.

Yes, the 'bullying' media's treated them appallingly, and it's all because Meghan has a black mother – despite the fact we all fell over ourselves for 18 months to say how fantastic it was to have a bi-racial woman enter the Royal Family.

So, on behalf of the disgusting British media, I humbly and sincerely apologise for holding these two rich, privileged public figures to any kind of accountability.

It could just be that Meghan and Harry are a pair of spoiled, entitled, hypocritical brats who decided to hold the Queen and Monarchy to ransom so they could have their royal cake and eat it, and have now had their bluff called and been sent packing.

Make no mistake, that's the real story here.

Harry admitted it himself last night when he said: 'Our hope was to continue serving the queen, the commonwealth and my military associations but without public funding,' he said. 'Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.'

No, it wasn't.

The Queen, for all her warm words in her statement, was having none of it, because she knew their absurd 'half-in, half-out' scenario was a non-starter.

You can't have senior members of the Royal Family living in North America flogging themselves to the highest bidders like grubby tiara-clad second-hand car salesmen.

Yet that’s precisely what Harry and Meghan demanded with their extraordinary Monarchy manifesto they published two weeks ago, in which they told the Queen – via social media - how they were going to drag the institution she has served so magnificently kicking and screaming into a new woke, 'progressive' era.

It was going to be their two-faced virtue-signalling way or the highway.
