₦airaland Forum

kpankpangolo:
Enough with this dumb news. This is how you recognize that this forum is littered with children of the 14 - 22 year range. Any man above 26 would not expect his peers to be virgins. By then, you’d’ve gotten experience between women’s thighs and known there is nothing special about it. Younger folks are the ones yet to see women’s buttons and believe there is mystery shrouding the eight-minute act.

Some of the assumed children of the 14 - 22 age range are older than you.

Nairaland is a public space, and it is not suppose to be tailored to fit your personal wishes. If you are not comfortable, you can create your own media platform. After all, Donald Trump did it with Truth.

Okay ooo. Just imagine democracy in Africa.

This is an open fraud caught on camera at Ezza South in Ebonyi State, during the just concluded APC Primaries in the state. The number of delegates was openly being inflated after a particular contestant has greased their palms with Naira notes.

For some days, the internet has been on fire over the alleged affair between the wife of Nigerian TV personality, Frank Edoho and singer, Chike.

I am not the type of person that spends much time online following trending stories, and all that, but one thing I noticed is that each time the story pops up, and I view the comments, I feel so ashamed at some of our young Nigerian mothers. What are you teaching your sons and daughters when you openly support a cheating wife? Would you openly showcase such support if the victim happens to be your brother or son?

Now, to the young men out there, let me give you a candid advice, and this is the gospel truth. Not every man out there is as meek as Frank Edoho. Some men out there are tigers and lions that belong to various cult groups. If you sleep with their wives, they will spend their time and money to make sure that you either leave the surface of the Earth, or you lose your hands and legs, and become useless in life.

My secondary school classmate had his head butchered with a matchet, and his right leg cut off at Isolo, Lagos for romancing with another man's wife. Unfortunately, he could not make it, as he died in the hospital after four days.

Whether a man is taking care of his wife or not, leave them alone. It is a family affair. God did not create you to be providing comfort or romance for women who lack such in their marriage. Please, it is not your duty to provide succour to a woman who lacks romance or care in her home. Just because you have six packs and a handsome face. Many men have gone. Be wise!

This is not a bro code. It is a warning. There is something Warri people call 'To die kamala'. It means to die for something that is not worth it.

I am having difficulties uploading photos.

Psoul:
Good observation.
On No 9, topography is not even the major cause of the water issue in Enugu State.
There is water in almost every ground in that state.

The major issue is that Enugu State is sitting on top of ground with great deposit of Coal.
If you drill borhole in 10 places, you will get coal deposit in about 8 or even all the 10 places.
Once the borehole passes through coal deposit, the water becomes useless and the money used in drilling becomes a waste.
9th Mile is blessed good soil without coal. That is where Enugu has the best water.

Yes, you are right on the issue of large coal deposits.

News just filtered in that celebrity businessman and nightlife promoter Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has reportedly lost his bid for the House of Representatives ticket in Imo State. He was seeking to represent the Orsu/Orlu/Oru East federal constituency under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Social media reactions have been swift, with many users mocking his defeat and suggesting he underestimated the ruthlessness of Nigerian politics.

More details coming...

No wonder my then secondary school mate who was the one who "tear eye" pass and one of the oldest then never still marry. Make James do marry, make I use am get hope.

@Rapmoney: What's the attitude of policemen in Enugu? Do they harass young men who dress well and drive nice cars? You know how it's in Warri.

That water issue is an IQ problem. There are topographically worse places that have water. Enugu shouldn't be an exception.

The RSS officers do 'stop and search', but not basically to harass people.

nlfpmod:
Nice one.

I actually thought you are from Enugu because you often post about the state.

No sir, I am not. Thanks a lot.

DeltaOil:
is this not the same man killed 2024?

that is killed again this year?

Can't you read? Are the names the same?

I spent about 10 years working in Enugu as a project manager in the education sector, and during my 10 year-professional journey, I learnt certain things about the town. This can help you towards planning if you want to relocate to Enugu.

1. Traffic Laws: Traffic laws are very strict in Enugu. You dare not park your car by the side on a major road. You dare not beat traffic lights positioned in almost all parts of the town. If you do, your vehicle will be towed to MOT office or you pay huge fines. Dem nor dey hear 'Abeg'.

2. Relaxed Attitude: The people have a relaxed attitude. They don't rush when doing things. It is common for people to sit in a town-service bus for more than 30 minutes in Enugu, waiting for passengers to fill the bus. My first year in Enugu was uncomfortable because it is something different from what I was used to in Warri. You do not see people rushing to work in the morning, even bankers. Everyone seems to do it slow slow.

3. Peacefulness: Enugu is one of the most peaceful towns in Nigeria. During my 10-year stay, I did not hear or witness any inter-communal clash or anything similar. In fact, I really did not see anyone fighting publicly, except verbal clashes (quarrelling) on few occasions.

4. The Women: Enugu has the most beautiful women in Nigeria. It is only closely followed by Owerri. Out of every 10 young women you see, 6 would be pretty, and the rest might actually look presentable. My neck and my head had a quarrel the first day I landed in Enugu. My neck said my head was stressing it too much, because of the constant turning and looking. As a man, you need to be focused or else, you will get distracted if you allow the beauty of the women to overwhelm you.

5. Enugu is an 'Oringo' Town: You must have heard the singer, Flavour called Enugu 'Oringo' in some of his songs. Oringo is a slang in southeast Nigeria which means 'party'. Enugu is a place where more money is spent than it is made. From Cubana to Toscana, from Trans-Ekulu to Abakpa, from GRA to Independence Layout, from Agbani to Obiagu, it is all about Oringo. Forget it. Enugu is the only place you can see beer parlours and bars opened from morning till night, with people drinking during working hours on weekdays. About 60% of alcohol in southeast is consumed in Enugu.

6. Okpa and Pepsi: In Enugu, they don't joke with Okpa and Pepsi. Okpa is a local food made from Bambara beans. N500 Okpa and one chilled Pepsi will go a long way for the average man on the street. Don't play.

7. Beware of Abakpa at Night: Abakpa is the largest area in Enugu town. It is owned by the Nike people of Enugu-East LGA. It is a place where you find the good, the bad, and the ugly. They are called Abakpa Ndi Nti Ike for a reason. When interpreted in English, it means the set of people that are stubborn and do not heed to advice. Abakpa is a place you can get the cheapest accommodation in Enugu if you are a beginner. It is also a place you need to be careful and mind your business. Nor dey waka waka for inside Abakpa for night, or else boys wey nor get joy go help you keep your property for you.

8. Choice Areas to Live: If you are financially buoyant, the best places to stay in Enugu with good security and road networks, beautiful environment, and magnificent buildings are Trans-Ekulu, Independence Layout, and GRA.

9. Water Issues: Enugu is a hilly place. It is good for hikers, but one issue that the town usually face is water shortage due to the topography. I hope the current governor, Barrister Peter Ndubuisi Mbah will address that soon.

10. Always Cook at Home on Sundays: If you are a bachelor or spinster, make sure you get ingredients on Saturday to cook on Sunday, else na hunger go kpai you. Enugu people don't joke with Sunday relaxation and outing. No matter the profits their business is generating, they don't sacrifice their Sundays for anything. Most shops and restaurants are closed. Even shops where the owners live in same building.

I am not from Enugu State. I am from Niger Delta, so this post has been written with an unbiased view.

Happy weekend everyone!

2024 csr for your reference

https://www.nairaland.com/8293294/1m-naira-corporate-social-responsibilities

As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Mayorall will be giving out 4 pieces of 8th Gen Touchscreen x360 laptops to 4 eligible Nairalanders.

Eligibility Criteria

You must have been a member of Nairaland for at least 3 years.

You must have a history of contributing positively to help fellow Nairalanders.

Your posting history must be free from tribalism, hate speech, or constant insults. Sarcasm alone is not a ground for disqualification.


How to Apply

Tell us:

What you plan to use the laptop for

How it will help you personally, academically, professionally, or in business.


Qualified applicants will be contacted if selected.

Mayorall remains committed to giving back and supporting growth within the community.

Kindly note that a video verification will be conducted for beneficiaries .

All beneficiary will be selected in the next 7 days.

I am deeply grateful to Mayorall for this thoughtful and generous initiative to reward active Nairalanders who consistently create helpful, informative, and educational threads that enrich the community. It is inspiring to see someone recognize the value of knowledge-sharing and choose to invest in the growth of content creators. This gesture goes beyond giving out laptops; it is an encouragement to continue contributing meaningfully and using our skills to impact others positively.

As an educational content creator and marketing content writer, winning a laptop would significantly transform the way I work and help me scale my business to a higher level. My work revolves around researching, writing, designing, and publishing content that educates, informs, and helps businesses communicate effectively with their target audience. A reliable laptop is one of the most important tools for achieving this.

In my educational content business, I create articles, tutorials, and explanatory materials that simplify complex topics for students, professionals, and everyday learners. I also plan to expand into producing e-books, online courses, presentation slides, and video lessons. With a laptop, I will be able to conduct in-depth research, write and edit high-quality materials, design engaging visuals, and manage my content more efficiently. This will allow me to reach more people and provide valuable knowledge that can help them grow academically and professionally.

As a marketing content writer, I help brands craft persuasive content that attracts customers and drives sales. This includes website copy, blog posts, product descriptions, email campaigns, and social media content. A laptop will enable me to work faster, handle multiple projects, use professional writing and design tools, and deliver better results to clients. Ultimately, this will increase my earning potential and help me build a sustainable business.

Beyond improving my business, the laptop will also enhance my contribution to Nairaland and the wider online community. I intend to continue creating educational threads, sharing practical insights, and offering valuable information that empowers others to learn new skills and discover opportunities.

Winning this laptop would not just be a gift; it would be a powerful investment in my dreams, productivity, and ability to make a greater impact. It would help me grow my content creation business, serve more clients, and continue using knowledge to educate and inspire others.

Once again, I sincerely thank Mayorall for this generous opportunity and for supporting Nairalanders who are committed to adding value to the forum and to society. If selected, I will make the most of this laptop and use it to create even more meaningful and impactful content.

You must be the clown here. Make a post that will get to front page, just two paragraphs. I go dash you 50k. Kiddo, that is how you kids jump from thread to thread to say trash. I am very certain you cannot even construct an essay of just two paragraphs.

Wotowotoman:

I am still waiting for you to make a post of just two paragraphs that will get to front page, or better still write an essay with just two paragraphs.

kiddaz:
Nothing fit ever dey meaningless like your moniker and yet you call that interesting post meaningless? If you forget the past how you wan take ever wise na

That is the type of kids we have on the internet today. They move from thread to thread, looking for trash to say. Ask them to write two paragraphs of an essay, and watch them disgrace themselves.

I will be 89 in October.

Step out on those fine white Air force One sneakers.

Tie some bandana on that head. Wear some durag, and add a cap if you want.

If you were a teenager in the 90s or early 2000s, you will relate with some of these fashion trends that rocked that era. Most of them were actually fuelled by Black American hip-hop culture, promoted by music veterans such as Bone Thugs n Harmony, Ja Rule, 50 Cent & the G-Unit, Fat Joe, DMX, Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G., Eve, Da Brat, Queen Latifah, Nelly, The Fugees, Mase, Fabulous, Lil Bow Wow, Snoop Dogg, and many others.

1. Baggy Fubu Jeans: Omo, if you did not wear baggy Fubu jeans back then, you nor follow for the matter. Channel O and MTV Base were always there to show us the vogue.

2. Timberland Boots: I remember how I used to imagine myself on Timberland boots each time I watched Fat Joe, Nelly or Fabulous on MTV Base. I later got a blue one that cost me a little fortune, but I rock am till my 200L days in the university. Some boys even went as far as wearing different colours on their feet, to show you that they could afford two pairs of it. Naija boys ehn.

3. Lumberjack Shirt: Lumberjack shirts were very popular from 1992 to 1997, when Bone Thugs, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G were the main thing.

4. Numbers Wears: They were usually large, with a particular number written at the back. This wear was originally modelled from sport tops worn by American football players. The hip-hop version is larger and gives this vibe of 'I don't give a damn about you'.

5. Bandana: Omoh, boys tie bandana for head that year sha. If you nor tie bandana for head for birthday party, nai be say you be legbere.

6. Durag: 50 Cent, Nelly, Ja Rule, and some others made this fashion accessory very popular back then. Some people preferred wearing a baseball cap on top the durag.

7. Air Force One Sneakers: This is one footwear that trended so much way back. Every young boy in the hood wanted an Air Force One sneakers. The sneakers is a product of popular fashion brand, Nike.

Which ones can you relate with?

Your name Rapmoney itself is painful and unpleasant to read.
Very very painful to see & read.

Mr Opinions after Opinions.

The post touch you wella. I am sure you are one of those that bribed your way through the system, hence the ranting.

Just the way many Nigerian graduates are ignorant about the difference between a university and a polytechnic, same way many are ignorant about a Master's degree and a PhD degree.

I have seen people who went to the university, but they should not have been there in the first place, because what they needed was not a university degree, but a practical knowledge in a specific field or area. Well, our society has created an unnecessary and somehow endless bias between university and polytechnic degrees. A university is supposed to be a place for research, and not just a place where people go to obtain beautifully designed certificates that carry their names. How many Nigerian students are really concerned about carrying thorough research during their undergraduate days? VERY FEW! What majority of students do is copy and paste. I will leave this for another day. Let me analyse the central theme of this topic - postgraduate degrees in Nigeria and how many graduates erroneously see them.

To be honest, postgraduate degrees (Master and PhD) are not for everyone. They are for students who are academically sound, and who want to obtain practical skills for an industry or for academic purposes (lecturing and deep research), and for those who need to obtain specialised knowledge in a specific field or industry. This includes both course-based and research -based postgraduate degrees.

In Nigeria, you will find people who sorted and bribed their way through the system going in for postgraduate studies (especially Masters degree). The moment they are done with first degree, search for job for 2 months without success, the next thing is to apply for Master degree, without understanding the purpose of it.

If you are someone that was pressured to go to school, or you bribed your way through, and deep down, you are very aware that you do not possess the intelligence and perseverance for deep research, going for a Masters might just be a waste. That is why sometimes, you see people with Master's degree, yet are unemployable. A Master's degree is not an evidence to show why you are not working, or an escape route from coming face to face with unemployment.

It is not possible in Nigeria. You can only run it in different schools. Not same school.

This is how people shamelessly steal other people's creativity, and twist it by changing few words. Same ideas, same storyline, same examples. Gosh! Criminals.
