President Buhari Is Dead This Afternoon, So Sad>>>> https://www.nairaland.com/5324016/president-buhari-dead-afternoon-sad

So you have the guts to post such rubbish on a public forum? Your ban is very close.

JIDECAC:
thier own better pass Chelsea now. Chelsea first squad will be full of cripple players

Na wa o! E be like say Chelsea chance slim oh.

Mrjo:
who will be EPL champ next season, can Chelsea make it?

I don't think Chelsea can make it. They may not be among the top four.

With Aston Villa in the English premier league, next season is going to be very interesting.

Wizy123:
Oga everything you wrote up there just showed you no nothing about how the show works, and the first thing I expected you to do was to first do a due deigence to understand what the show is all about and how it operates before coming online to talk like someone without understanding. Big brother never told you they were looking for ordinary people in the first place so I wonder where you people get that mindset from, they pick people who are already doing one or two things before coming for the audition. I will stop here for Herr, you can go and do more research before writing about something you have zero understanding about how it works

If I am ignorant on the issue, I believe you are super ignorant!!! And I believe you hurriedly read the writeup like most Nigerians would do. Big Brother never told you this or that. Really? Why not call the 'big people' and organise auditions for them instead of wasting the precious time of ignorant Nigerian youths who hardly learn.

See someone who knows the most about the show! Papa BBNaija!

nurex01:
Even if he chose SEUN, someone will still say LALASTICLALA is left behind. Why can't we leave him and use PRAYER to assist him?
we can't say there won't be much difference.

So you think we should waste our valuable time to pray for people who do not have plans for the unborn kids?

TrollKiller:
Summary Please.

Read.

It is so ridiculous and shameful at the same time that in our society, people have become so religiously blind to the extent where our traditions no longer have the slightest of value, regard or relevance. It is this shameful disregard for customs and traditions that has made many Nigerians to have a picture of a day called 'wedding night'. It is usually expected that a man and his wife should make love only after the wedding ceremony. That night after the wedding is usually seen as the 'right time' for loving making to take place between the couple. This practice is a symbol of cultural slavery among Africans!

For those who claim to profess Christianity even more than the missionaries, the Early Church headed by Simon Peter concerned itself with leading people to salvation and not to ordain or organise marriages. All marriages recorded in the Holy Book were done or consummated traditionally, according to the customs of the people; including the one Jesus attended in Galilee! This should clearly show the 'religious zealots' that marriage is more of tradition than religion.

White wedding as the name implies is for white people. It has never been a religious way of joining a man and a woman together; it is the cultural and traditional marriage practice among westerners. After all, the Jewish people have their customary way of getting married. Why did the Europeans and Americans not copy them? Africans readily accept alien practice pushed down to them without any slight resistance even if such practice makes mockery of their customs and traditions.

If a mother sends one of her children to go and wash plates and when that child is done with the task, she sends another one to re-wash the plates, it means the work of the first child is not good enough. This is what Africans indirectly tell the westerners: 'Our marriage customs are not good enough; yours are better'.

A man has every right to sleep with his wife immediately after the bride price is paid and the traditional marriage rites are carried out. Same thing applies to the woman. Let us stop enslaving ourselves culturally. After traditional marriage, sex becomes a duty to be enjoyed and not a taboo!

We should learn from the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and the entire Asian continent who have succeeded in preserving their culture. Between white wedding and traditional marriage, the former is the alien one and should be seen and treated as such.

I love this post. Nice one.

Topics like this are always avoided my many Nigerian youths. They prefer topics that dwell on BBNaija or the round butt of Toke Makinwa or how Regina Daniel's smokes her weed.

You haven't yet healed yourselves of Awolowo's master stroke despite several decades after. We don't want a repeat of your constantly despicable rantings. Face your masters and do so squarely.

You must be a complete ignoramus! You are worse than an illiterate!

There are things you see in Nigeria that would make you start wondering whether your ancestors did the right thing running away when the Americans and Europeans came to buy slaves.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
in 1999. I was only 2.

Anyways. This guy sowore has payed his dues.

In 1999, you were just 2 years old. This is the reason why I don't argue with people on a faceless forum like Nairaland. Some of them can even be the same age with your last child!

Where are the 'they should be killed' crew?

They said "Big Brother Naija", not "Small Brother Naija". So, if u no big or know pesin wey big, na OYO u dey.

Is that how participants for reality shows are picked in saner climes?

BBNaija And Its Mysterious Selection Process

Every year, thousands of Nigerian youths troop to various audition centres across the country in a fierce and dangerous selection process in order to partake in the Big Brother Naija Reality Show. No doubt, many have lost vital possessions while some sustained various degrees of injuries. I for one, has never been a fan of this show because I'm still trying to figure out what the show is all about and of what benefit it is to the Nigerian youths. It seems the only things promoted on this show are sex, alcholol, party and more sex. Nevertheless, I'd like to leave this aspect for another time. The focus of this article is the selection process for housemates on the BBNaija show.

Why is it that MOST folks who found their way to the BBNaija show seemed to be connected to some notable figures in one sector or the other in Nigeria? Why is that MOST of them had already gotten some degree of popularity before they were selected as BBNaija housemates? Why is it that MOST of them had already gotten some exposure living abroad before they were selected as BBNaija housemates? Is there a secret behind this that we do not know or is it just a coincidence? Some persons might want to point out Efe Ejebah, BBNaija winner 2016 edition as a contrast to my opinion but I believe we can all read. It is the same reason I used uppercase for the 'most' for those who find it difficult reading between lines in write-ups like this very one. If you are good in Statistics and research writing in Social Sciences, you would understand the importance or essence of respondents. If you are not, I will use a layman's language that you would understand better. In a series of occurrences, there is a frequency which happens to be the highest occurrence. When series of events occur, the event/factor with the highest occurrence is used to judge situations.

Now, what are the criteria for selecting people into the house by BBNija organizers? Is it age, fluency in English, wealth, fame, international exposure, educational background, beauty/handsomeness, sultriness or pure connections? Why do we always see people who want to act 'foreign' in BBNaija editions? Why can't we have Nigerian youths from all walks of life in the show? I mean, why can't we have Idemudia, Oghenerukevwe, Olawole, Idris or Obinna who has never tasted the slightest amount of luxury in life ever before? I am sure this category of people take part in the auditions every year. How come most of these housemates have featured in one advert, music video or movie before?

There are so many questions many Nigerian youths do not bother to ask before trooping out every year to take part in the BBNaija auditions which I consider a high profile entertainment scam!!!

Any entertainment show where the selection process is clouded in secrecy and not spelt out absolutely is not worth the stress of right-thinking youths.

Nice.

Surprise who? Only people who want to be surprised would be surprised. I'm more concerned about what I do to succeed than Nigeria's ministerial list bullcrap!!!

Hmmm

What would anyone be expecting if not such statements?

Recently, I read in the news how a young man was wickedly killed by a mobile policeman attached to a new generation bank in Enugu State. It was reported that the deceased had an argument with a lady while trying to use the ATM. It is so unfortunate that we live in a society where one has to queue up for long period of time just to use banks' ATM. Sometimes, only one machine will be dispensing cash where as there are several other machines lying idle.

We all know how people are unnecessarily frustrated everyday by inefficient services rendered by most Nigerian banks. The problem is as bad as our social and economic systems are. It could be possible that the argument the slain man had with the lady started from issues which many of us would consider trivial. Yes, but it has unexpectedly led to someone's death. Nevertheless, I am going to use this post to point out some unnecessary things we do that can result to avoidable altercations at ATM points.

1. Using an ATM dispensing cash to do transactions that do not involve cash withdrawals: We should be very mindful of this. Countless times, I have seen people doing this. Sometimes, I wonder whether they do this knowingly or ignorantly. It is even more annoying when you have a lot of people queuing behind you who want to make cash withdrawals. Why waste people's time when there are other machines you can use since your transaction does not involve withdrawing cash? This can cause argument which could lead to physical combat.

2. Always using the expression 'I am not the last person' when someone new wants to join the queue: Many Nigerians behave illogically and hold beliefs that may be outrightly stupid! When someone enquires to know if you are the last person, commonsense should tell you that he/she means if you are the last on the queue. Such question does not in anyway suggests that you are the last person in life! We should be making use of our brains; they are for thinking and acting rationally; they are not objects of decorations. I have observed that people unnecessarily get angry and refuse to give clear response to the question in discourse. The absence of response could lead to arguments later on when someone walks in to stand behind the back of the person who would not give a clear response. 'I am the last person on the queue' can save a whole lot of problems, my people.

3. Claiming VUGA or VOLTRON at ATM points: Respecting people is a way of respecting yourself too. You cannot have your rights acknowledged by not acknowledging other people's rights. Do not stroll into an ATM point and try to bypass others who have been standing there. You think they do not have things to do with their time elsewhere? Dem never talk, you dor already dey show muscle. No be for bank, WWE needs you. Such can bring arguments and fights which may not mean well for you too.

4. Smuggling people into the queue: This is one wrong thing most people do. It is wrong to smuggle people into the queue, either to stay at your back or in front of you. Do not think everyone is a fool or daft. People are watching what you do and be very sure that they would resist any attempt to get them cheated on the queue. This can lead to serious altercations, you know.

You can add yours.

Nice topic.

To me, I think death puts an end to the life of humans and animals as well. When a person dies, that's the end of it all. I don't believe in reincarnation.

I wonder why humans have so many beliefs where the soul of man goes to or what happens to man after death but has none as regards the end of animals

Scam!

KingAzubuike:
This innocent man has really suffered.

How did you get to know he is innocent? Nigerians!

Imagine! Yours are not even big like the ones we see on the streets everyday.

Why is every news about what Enugu State government has done coming from one particular poster alone?

Scam!

No development from Ugwuanyi. This Oephius is a paid agent. I will keep revealing you on this forum because what happens in Enugu is my concern too. I pay tax to the government of Enugu State.

Mumu! Talk is cheap.

Congrats to them.

I'll have a vacation soon in Antananarivo, capital of Madagascar.

Very poor write-up.

Another scam again!
