Thundafireseun:
Pooooooooor people are usually very very gentle

The thread is not for kids or teenagers.

Today, I was just entertaining myself with some throwback Nollywood movies when I saw this unforgettable gentleman in one of the movies. My mind drifted back to many years ago and I had this nostalgic feeling.

This is Pete Eneh, one of the finest Nollywood actor that I have ever come across. He played some of the most outstanding roles in Nollywood movies. He was always gentle and down-to-earth. He never hurt a fly in movies throughout his career in the industry, and I am sure he was actually acting his kind of person that was why he was always given such roles by movie producers and directors. A very soft-spoken gentleman.

Rest in peace to you sir! I really enjoyed your movies. God rest his soul. We miss you sir!

Pete Eneh died on 15th November, 2012 in Enugu after his leg was amputated following an infection.

Gerrard59:
Now, I see why one mofo mentioned you as a "simp" because the Rapmoney I know on Nairaland clings more to the "alpha male" category rather than a "simp".

Anyway, as most have stated, the majority of Nigerians are hypocrites. If a lady says no to your wooing, let go and bye-bye. The concept of calling her derogatory names is very stoopid. It would do me somehow to call a lady ashawo whereas a few hours ago, I was all in her DM begging her to respond to me. Why would you even beg a lady to respond to your chats in the first place? Our men no get shame and self-dignity!

Mr Gerrard, thank you. If you go through my threads on this forum, you will notice that I have never been a woman-pleaser, but just because I stated something obvious which I have been observing for a long time, some folks who don't even know me felt that it was good to refer to me as a 'simp' too quickly. I just laughed over it. If you want to get a clearer picture, just take on a female status online and watch how these same people who abuse women at every curve and turn will start sending you private messages to give them small attention. Most of them are kids while others are frustrated adults with the brain of babies.

fenomeno2007:
Dear Rapmoney, I am intrigued by your post and would like to have a discussion on it and I would be delighted if you can oblige. I'm an academic in one of Nigerian federal universities. My interest is exclusively research. I'd provide institutional email address should that be your appropriate means of correspondence.

Thanks

Okay. You're highly welcome.

EmperorCaesar:


There's nothing hypocritical about this. If you dey market and you dey hear say madman dey do stunt and everybody dey laugh, you no go go see am, you go like make the madman be your relative?


Its just about pleasure and entertainment. You could fancy something so much and still wouldnt wanna possess it or bring it home...just for the aesthetics

So who are the millions of people following these women on social media? How come most men abuse and criticize them but they have a large number of followers? Why do you follow someone who does something you criticize?

fman:
U r just a SIMP.

Just as I thought. By their fruits...

I have come across many Nigerian men, both young and middle age, who are always in the habit of criticizing young women on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, etc, for exposing their bodies and twerking. The common lines you hear are 'These ones still get parents'?...'Useless girls'...'Ehen, that's the only thing they can offer'...'See them, fish brain'...'Ashawo'...'Olosho', etc.

When you visit the pages of these same women that are constantly being abused, you will be amazed by the number of followers they have. Some of them have millions of followers while others have followers running into hundreds of thousands.

My question is: Who are the people following these women? Are their followers ghosts? You cannot tell me that majority of their followers are women, because the truth is that their twerking and body exposure attract more men than women to their pages! You will criticize publicly but follow them secretly like perverts, in order to be among the first to see their videos, and end up calling men who say the slightest positive thing about these women names like SIMPS and the likes.

This type of hypocrisy is terrible and stinks like rotten eggs! Make una dey try abeg. Stop criticizing the food that you secretly salivate over.

lebete3000:
You're still a Gen Z. The generation wey no chop cane.

Where you put Nitel phone booths?

Oga, go and rest! That's how you guys come to public forums to create nuisance. I created a thread on the advent of mobile phones in Nigeria and you rushed up here to call me a GenZ. Do you even know the meaning of Genz? If they check well, you are not even up to my age. How dare you call someone who is almost 45 years a GenZ? Just because you could afford data doesn't mean you should post without thinking. This thread is not about NITEL but the advent of mobile phones, because the NITEL you are boasting about, I know it too well. Simple logic could have shown you this. Sometimes I wonder what Nigerians attend school for. Stop acting like an illiterate who finds it difficult to comprehend simple explanations.

goslowgoslow:
Stop showing yourself! The post is about GSM technology. You are equally a small boy if that is the case because before NITEL pay phone it used to be landlines at homes, very few people could afford it. When I have a call my neighbor who had it will come and call me to receive my calls and I will remain in his flat for some time in case of call back. Back then it was exclusively for the rich and they hardly use it for business.
That was very common in the 70's to 80's.

Thank you my brother. I ignored him because I went through his posts on Nairaland, and found out that he is still a kid. When children post comments on social media, you will know.

Iykenuwa:
R220, that was my first phone

God bless you, my brother.

Larryfest:
#20 per minute and a second above that is also counted as a full minute.

Yes, your mind dey there bros.

In 1959, 14-year-old Maria Ochefu, known as Mammy Ode, married Colonel Anthony Aboki Ochefu, a young Nigerian military officer. They were stationed at the Army Barracks in Abakpa, Enugu. To combat idleness and earn extra income, Mammy Ode started a small business selling soft drinks and local brews, including umu (gruel) made from guinea corn, to the soldiers.

Despite initial disapproval from her husband and a complaint from the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) about attracting flies, Mammy Ode's business thrived. Pressure from the soldiers and officers led the RSM to allocate a section of the barracks for her to sell her wares.

As her business grew, other women in the barracks joined her, selling food, snacks, and drinks. The area became known as the "Mammy Market." When Colonel Ochefu was transferred, Mammy Ode would hand over her business to another woman and start anew in their next location.

The concept of Mammy Market spread to military barracks nationwide, providing a convenient place for soldiers and their families to shop. Today, Mammy Markets can be found in many Nigerian cities, including Abuja, and have become an integral part of the country's military culture.

Mammy Ode's entrepreneurial spirit and perseverance paved the way for her success and the creation of a beloved institution. She remains a celebrated figure in Nigerian history, and her legacy continues to inspire generations of entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Oluwabugyyolo:
SIM card 68k

If you weren't born then or you were still a kid, you ask questions so that you can be educated. People bought simcards even above that price.

HelenaWills:
I bought my first MTN sim for 18k.
I didn't come across a phone until about 2 years after.

Some people had sims then without phone. I can relate

SeverusSnape:
... And the most common phone for the business then was NOKIA 3310.

Yes, you are correct. And that Samsung blue face that has a blinking sensor light.

otipoju:
I remember buying my sim card for 6,000 naira and then the next week it all came crashing down to 300 naira or so.

Still dey pain me till today.

The price had even gone down at that 6k.

gasparpisciotta:
That was the early days of GSM in Nigeria.

POS is the new life saver.

The entrepreneurial spirit of many Nigerians is the reason why we have not set this country on fire.

Political leaders do nothing but feed fat in the struggle of the average Nigerian.

You no talk lie, my brother.

RealityKings1:
Before opening this thread, I somehow knew the particular business it would be about. Wow

Lol. Your guess was right.

Do you still remember when people used to pay for phone calls at phone booths? Then calls were charged per minute. If you make a phone call of 1 minute 3 seconds, you would be requested to pay for two minutes. I still remember how we were very careful then, always talking and looking at the phone screen to see that it didn't exceed the money we had budgeted to spend for the call.

Then, if someone wanted to call you, the call business operator would notify you and you stay close by so that you could receive the call through his or her phone. I think the per second billing by Glo and the reduction of the price of simcards killed this business.

Some people here may not be able to relate with these because they were born when sim cards and phones became available like sachet water. My neighbour as at then bought MTN simcard for N68,000.

MadamVanessa:




The young shall grow. Who could've thought that Destiny will turned out to be what every man is dreaming to smash.

In fact, I never knew that she was a child actor.

Check this nostalgic photo of Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko and Osita Iheme in 2003 in the movie 'Twin Brothers'...when Nollywood was still Nollywood and the movies were good.

Graphic images and video of police rescue team evacuating roasted bodies from the tanker explosion at Agbor in Delta State.

Watch the video here:

The images and video are really gory. Viewer's discretion is advised.

Myrepublic:
Thank God they didn't kill him o.

They won't still from those leaders stealing their destinies. Na hustlers like them,they will still steal from. They will even go as far as killing them..

My brother, just imagine this life.

A young man narrowly escaped death this morning, Saturday 4th January, after an attempted robbery attack at Meniru, Agbani Road, Enugu. He was pushed out from a moving bus. Some kindhearted Nigerians assisted in getting him to Good Shepherd Hospital in Enugu.

Please let's be careful as the days are evil. His family members have not been able to be contacted as at the time of this report.

A Nigerian man went online to list the reasons why he would not stop doing internet fraud, after calling out some Nigerian celebrities who he also accused of fraudulent activities.

Omoawoke:
An old proverb says that he who knows no shame shall know no hunger

The word 'shame' is relative. Even if it is shameful to fight with your mother, will you do it because you have no shame?

SoftSport:
Your concern for the future of Nigerian society is commendable, but it’s important to approach such issues with empathy and understanding, as trends often reflect deeper societal dynamics.

Like I posited, it's a very nice thing to receive presents on your birthday. No matter the form. Whether money or material stuffs, but it is concerning when you invade the internet, including other people's DM with account details.

This trend among many Nigerian girls where they post their account details on social media (Facebook, WhatsApp, Insta, Twitter, etc) on their birthdays is a shameless and disgusting act.

Your birthday is suppose to be a remembrance of your birth date. It is not a day for you to show everyone how needy, hungry and ill-mannered you are. Anybody who wants to gift you things on your birthday will do that from their heart. Allow people to request for your account details if they feel like showing love and concern.

You don't need to invade the internet shamelessly with account details or to start sending account details to your phone contacts. Are you soliciting for funds for a kidney transplant or what? Should we say you have cancer or heart disease and you need financial assistance? Why should people send money to your account because it is your birthday?

I fear for the type of young citizens that will walk on the Nigerian soil in the next 15 years.

lol son of a gun … and here I thought I was the only one with a bad habit. You forgot chewing the plastic bottle cap but I guess that would be too disgusting to show …

lol Merry Christmas to you .

Merry Christmas!

This picture gives me a nostalgic feeling of how kids born in the 80s dealt with stressful situations. Fondest memories.

Why do Nigerians engage in fraudulent activities in saner places like USA and Canada?
