shocked

I love this comment by Nigerianization....



Not speaking ill of the dead but Ajimobi & Kyari didn't feel the need to keep health facilities around them at world class standard thinking they could always escape.

Both died in Lagos... Kyari's own is even worse, money that could have upgraded all Teaching Hospitals was spent on the Aso Rock Clinic.

Modified : To those who don't understand English Language:

FACT 1 : Billions of Naira have been spent on the health sector yearly, which is appropriate.

FACT 2 : The health facilities are in a sorry state. It's hard to believe MILLIONS have been spent talk less of BILLIONS. The funds are often embezzled. This is obviously inappropriate.

FACT 3: If these 2 guys took adequate care of nearby facilities, they wouldn't have had to rush to Lagos. Some kids here don't understand the meaning of First Aid.

FACT 4 : You might need a brain transplant if you still don't understand this.
What do you also have to say about the ones alive but d squandered the money? They are everywhere. You named Ajimobi and Kyari as if they are the beginning of Nigerian Healthcare problems.. Yes the contributed but why call their names instead of generalizing those who looted and destroyed the system. you are just trying to play politics with their names and death... and like trying to justify their death as a result of their negligence. Are the looters alive better than them? .. If you want to call names include their predecessor including your darlings in pdp..
Let the dead rest pls

The boldness ATM is playing with this night is shocking.

They are taking the game to Barca and had more clear-cut chances than Barca.

Cc: ghettokid1......... grin grin grin
Bro as a barca fan if other don't want to admit, I will the team is very old. just look at our Normal11.. Stegen, Piqué, langlet, Alba semedo, busquet, rakitic, vidal, Messi, Suarez and griezmann almost the whole team over 30.. If you take them to a high tempo match like Liverpool they will crumble cos they do not have it anymore in them for high Tempo 90 mins.. Just look at ordinary counter attacks they cannot initiate because they are too old to run.. When dembele plays you will notice it if he takes the ball and run, no forward runner fast enough to make it on time in the boX to receive pass or cross. even in defence when teams break just watch you will see their midfielder from deep overtaking rakitic and vidal and busquet even though they coming from deep positions.. Mehn Barca should just forget it this year.. Champions league will be worst.. Napoli will show them pepper.. Everything is Messi if he no do no outcome... A smart team will do exactly what Aletico did tonight even Zidane did it at Bernanke and beat us. Simple massive defence and attack.. you do not have to be afraid of massive attack because you lnow barca cannot and will not counter attack you..they will wait for you to comeback and build your wall first before trying to break it down.. Then for the opposition it becomes easy because you know that attack has an initiator which is Messi let your def midfielder and another reliable defender stay close and tight on him and watch evetyother player play at division 2 level nor instigator nothing..difference with our winning times was iniesta could instigates attacks on his own and can take out defenders
thereby leaving few defenders to mark suarez messi and neymar,neymar could also instigate attacks and counter counterattack and still take out people same as messi thereby leaving the opposition with a herculean task at stopping barca.. all that is in the past now..we are just ceremonially dressed Brighton right now.. Easy as that..

Why is APC and bubari so socialist in nature ? Why ... socialism can never get u anywhere honestly
See how much we wested and still waste on N power ...how much did it add to our GDP ?

Honestly this 500bn we waste on this socialist rubbish can change our economy

Who are the top importers of glass ...how much do u need to start manufacturing glass here

Who are the top importers of aluminum how much do u need to start making it here

Who are the top fabric importers ...how can we make this here what do u need

Use this money to develop seeds that have high yeild ... imagine u plant rice in one hectares and u get 1 Ton or 3 ton max ..while in China they can get into 15 tons ..how do u even compete

We have things we need to improve


Maybe they don't want to because it might benefit the igbos more

Infact I give up give us Biafra
Give you Biafra.. You people just open your mouth and talk.. You think if they give you Biafra suddenly all will work.. Let me ask you.. This your idea how much of it has Nnamdi Kanu tried to do even in a small way with all the money he receives? Don't you know that what someone does with small things will show you what he will do with big things... Oga there is no difference between Biafra and Nigeria Ukochukwu na the same people.. Infact I will be bold to say that biafra will be worse than Nigeria knowing the greed and mentality of many of our People..

....Been doing this all this while and because of this,I ve not been to the village since December to see my parents. They all come over to my base now to see me.My wife has not said anything about it since and I can understand her.Even my Dad is confused cause such has never happened.

You can't crown me a king while my father is alive..My father and I feels there's a conspiracy against us.
My own opinion to this Ezenmmuo is:: Reject taking another wife if you know that your wife will do the same for you in that position.. Shikena I am tired of giving women what they cannot give me.. Manhood is giving so much to Womanhood without receiving nothing.. ordinary respect for our sacrificing action we won't get.. If your wife you are damn sure is loyal to hell with it but if not go head if only the King is worth it ooo like Oba of benin, alaafin of oyo and all those types

JONNYSPUTE:
....Good morning folks. Sure we are all good and managing the effects of pandemic well?. To God be the glory.

This is going to be long because I will want us to read and understand it very well before commenting. Reason is because any decision taken is going to affect both myself,my immediate family members, extended and the entire community.

I have been thinking about the way forward since December last year.

It happened that we lost our king (Eze) 5years ago and the community has been in turmoil due to the inability of the elders to select a new king.

Reason is that it is rotational between my village and the other village.

My village is now supposed to bring out the next king and my compound has been told to bring out somebody to be crowned as a king.

I never envisaged or dreamt of becoming a king in my life because.
(1) My father is still alive.
(2)I'm not the most senior in the entire family.

But then,the elders met me last December and told me that the diety in the community has selected me to become the next king and that I have to pick another wife from the community before I will be crowned.

I told them point and blank that the oracle is mistaken due to the reasons I mentioned above but they are not taking it.

Now everyone in my village is against me for refusing the offer and saying I'm doing it be cause I don't want to hurt my wife which is true.

Now my question is,What do I do?
Should I damn the consequence and pick another wife and be crowned a king in other to make my community happy or should I forget about the whole idea entirely and allow the community sort themselves out?

I'm confused here. N B. My wife is aware of all this.

Thanks.

Please bring this to front page cause I'm no longer myself. So many sleepless nights and selfish advices from the elders in my community. I really need to hear the truth from people I don't know.
You are now the Eze nmmuo of your village..

Hmm, they zoned Chairman to the North.

So that presidency will come to South!

PDP too, should zone chairman to the North, so that presidency will come to South.

Let's have two Souths in 2023.
But I thought the said Buhari won't agree for South.. I am just sorry for my people myopic and emotional politics have relegated us to background.. Buhari told them to have an agreement with him and receive this position they said no.. He is a deceiver and a lie and all the propaganda the sold our people and the bought it and trooped to Atiku.. When the time is ripe.. Let see how PDP the Igbos have constantly shown loyal view and see them.. Time see who is the real propaganda party.. If APC ticket comes south and PDP gives it to Atiku I swear let Ndiigbo just forget politics as a whole because it will now be a true Master slave relationship not even slave but Foolish slave relationship.. I have said my own.. Ndiigbo ya diri kwara unu na mma.. At the end I cannot hate myself but can only regret at the type of politics we play..

If Tinubu want PDP ticket in 2023 they will ditch Atiku for him because winning is assured

I had tears in my ears as I read this.. There is hope for Nigeria. I hope president Mohammed Buhari can honor him too.. The narrative must change.. It is same thing that happened to me here.. First when I arrived in Germany an old German man where I lived he didn't like talking to me, was very snubish to me just because after a lively talk on the first day, next time he asked me where I was from I said Nigeria.. Omo from that day the man changed until one day he left his wallet and phone on a chair in the park.. He was already at about to drive off when I knocked on his window and returned his phone and wallet.. The man was looking at me like I was a ghost.. The man ended of being my first reference for my first job after arrival.. Now he cannot stop talking n telling people how good I am.

Second time my neighbour from Peru left his wallet and phone on top his car.. I returned it to his wife since that time their perception has changed.. They are now so open but I didn't do it for all this thing. I did it because that is who I am. but I am happy these acts changes a little perception about our country..

Now you’re back-tracking and contradicting yourself. I just posted a Wikipedia page which is an open fact. Yet you’re finding ways to spin this around and gain support. That is the problem wi to some of you on Nairaland. You show up with your opinion and try to discredit someone else. When the person bring receipts and shows you facts, you turn it into rudeness.

Accept when you’re wrong and learn from it. It won’t kill you. We all learn everyday. And don’t keep editing your comments to save face. Bye.

You got something mixed up instead of you to own up your trying to pin it my first comment was all Germans can understand Hochdeutsch and that goes to Swiss, Austria, lichtenstein, Luxemburg, sudtirol and German Belgium. And you jumped in with Swiss German is different that Germans cannot understand the Swiss.. I made it clear to you that occurs only with dialect which is Swiss German.

Can you see your Wikipedia proves me right.. SWISS STANDARD GERMAN = HOCHDEUTSCH incase you do not know..

While Swiss German is the dialect putting this in contest it is exactly what I have been saying from my first post.. Irrespective of where you come from you can understand Hochdeutsch because is the same all over.. But dialect is different even in Germany some from Hamburg cannot understand pple in Baden-Württemberg and Bayern and they themselves cannot understand Plattdeutsch..

Thank you for this.. that is exactly what I am saying.. Hochdeutsch everyone will understand but dialect is not for every one..
American English is different in speaking and writing but only slightly that even you an educated Nigerian can understand communicate when you come across it same as a British. That means the difference is negligible. And that is my point with Hochdeutsch but dialect is totally different ball game.. I do not understand schwäbischclearly .. I went to Stuttgart and for an interview and the woman that I was to meet before the interview spoke in schwäbisch I didn't understand Jack I was only hearing words I know and I was making out meaning from them with my head.. When she noticed and asked where I was coming from I said Hamburg she switched immediately to Hochdeutsch and really the preparation was smooth i understood all...thereafter..i know swiss German dialect is even totally different in writing like gewesen is gsi

You make it sound as if you’re the only one living in Germany and understands German. I also studied here and I speak German. Regardless, we’re both foreigners and not native speakers. Like I said, this is just an argument with different opinions. Nothing we state here is 100% fact. Even Germans have different opinions about this. Don’t state your opinion like it’s a fact. Just say what you know.

Like I said, Swiss-German is the native language of Switzerland. I also said that a Swiss person can understand a German but most Germans cannot understand Swiss-German. Just like in Nigeria we speak pidgin but can still understand proper English. But a British man cannot understand pidgin, even though he hears some English words in it. Did you read my comment?

The point is: saying German is the official language of Switzerland is a bit controversial to someone who learned german in Germany and moves to Switzerland. A German person cannot fully understand the german in Switzerland. Unless they come across an educated Swiss who can speak standard higher German (hochdeutsch).

Also note that not all Swiss can speak standard German (hochdeutsch). It depends on level of education. Swiss-German is what is widely spoken in Switzerland. What if the German person comes across an uneducated Swiss?

Meanwhile someone who speaks/learns dutch can understand Dutch anywhere. Even with different pronunciations. Hence the German vs Dutch comparison.
oga u are still arguing dialect.. I am talking of hochdeutsch.. Are you saying if a transfer student comes from Swiss int German University he will not understand the lecturer? If this is your argument then oga you did not school in Germany if you did you studied in English is as easy as that. Is like saying mbaise Igbo(swiss German) is different Igbo since mbaise cannot understand nsukka(another German dialect).. Oga there is a central igbo(Hochdeutsch) which if mbaise speaks it nsukka will understand. So if mbaise goes to nsukka and meets illiterate nsukka that cannot understand central Igbo that will make central Igbo different? Whether he understand it or not is not because he is illiterate is not will change it.. it central Igbo is that is central Igbo and that is standard.. I don't know what you are arguing really..
