Nairaland is number one!

I was ashamed of malicious news hitting front page regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s issue

Someone will fabricate nonsense and post, Nairaland will push it without proper veracity and authentication even the so called professional media’s outlets that styled themselves professionals (Not me) because nothing professional about them

How many countries did they mention that they arrested him, even someone said he was caught with a prostitute

Boom Nairaland picked it and published

Is this not gutter journalism?

I am ashamed..Western countries will be very very ashamed of us

Some people never grow up, they just grow old. His white hair would've fooled people into thinking he's sensible. If you respect yourself, your marriage, your wife and possibly kids, why would you go about having a side chick? This is not about being an "Alpha male", this is just about COMMON SENSE. If you met your wife with her Side guy in public, would you be quiet? She is human and emotions can make her do anything at the moment.
Life isn't as complicated as y'all make it seem. When I'm single, I can do as I like with anyone I please, as long as its consensual and of age.
When I'm in a relationship, I stick with one female. Nobody forced me into a relationship and nobody will force me to stay if I lose interest. If I want kids without sticking to one woman, then I have baby mamas.
If I'm married and I want more than one person, the I go for polygamous marriage or have an open relationship, that'll be done with the consent of my partner. Aye o le f'eni to ni gbagbo pe aye o le

Lol. Igboho is no terrorists so I think he would be happy to hear he is not in the category of Gumi and Shekau.

Only a Northerner, showing how backwards some of you are, would brag about Gumi and Shekau. Two human embodiment of why your region is now the most terrorised in Nigeria and generally considered unsafe. One commits terrorists acts unapologetically (Shekau) while the other makes excuses for him (Gumi).

Other than bragging over terror and your failed region, what else do you have? Did you miss the recrnt announcement of ordinary Northerners in the SW, SE and SS who stated implicitly that they would not return to the North if ordered to do so?

I really wonder why your illiterates, beggars, destitutes and unemployables would now not go back to the North yet the few educated amongst them, like you, are online bragging over nothing. Could it be that they do not want to go back to the hell hole your kind created now they have experienced some dignity , pride in paid labour and civility in the South?

You guys are pathetic and your way of life, thinking and misplaced priorities has already damned you even if you don't realize it.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Things Every Guy Should Know Before 30 by raystanley(m): 6:27pm On Feb 23, 2021
Mikester:
I’m almost halfway through being 21, an age I’m legally an adult and a man. Having emerged from the tangled forest of adolescence I’ve learned many lessons. I learned a lot of them through watching other people. Some I just figured out through wisdom and insight and some were learned through trial and errors.

Not saying I'm an expert though but I want to pass this wisdom down to fellow young guys like me hopefully they have a bit more of a roadmap to help guide them than I did.


1. Some people should be kept at arm’s length.

It’s a good thing to show love and compassion to people. It's good to be friendly but it’s also important to understand who should be in your inner circle and who you should keep at a distance or even avoid. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Destructive people are out there. The sooner you spot who they are and where they should fit in your life the better.

2. Forgive.

People are going to do you wrong and hurt you. No matter what you do, you will be hurt by someone at some point and that’s often out of your control but what you do in the aftermath is entirely in your hands. Holding grudges never does anyone any good. It’s self destructive and can even seep over into relationships that have nothing to do with the person who hurt you. That said, that doesn’t mean that you should necessarily let them back into your life right after. Forgiveness is about letting go of the hurt and grudge, not about completely forgetting and pretending it didn’t happen.

3. First impressions are more important than you can imagine.

You only have a chance to make a good impression, so putting your mind toward it is always your best option. From dressing decently and speaking articulately to standing tall and making eye contact. The way you present yourself is the way people will see you and the way people see you will determine how they treat you and the opportunities they give you. Make sure you make a powerful impression.

4. It’s good to take risks and be bold.

Most of the best things in life usually comes with a risk. Know how and when to take risks. Be wise and strong enough to invest where necessary and be bold enough to take on challenges you encounter.

5. Being real is more important than being posh.

“You’re such a genuine guy,” is my favorite compliment. This to me is so much better than being told I’m posh. Real people see, recognize and are drawn to authenticity. Believe it or not, most people, especially girls, can tell exactly when you’re faking or trying too hard. If you want to draw the right people to you, then just be real with yourself and them, instead of putting up a facade in order to look cool or to be accepted. Being cool is for a moment, but authenticity lasts for a lifetime.

Simply put, don't chase people - man or woman, rather be yourself and invest more in yourself and the right people will come around you. Chasing people leads you to the wrong people and puts you at a huge loss.This also applies to relationships

6. Don't do drugs

Drugs make your mind perverted and your sense of judgement corrupted not to talk of the terrible health effects of drug intake. It's not for men with ambition to take drugs, give drugs to men who have decided to wallow in mediocrity and scornful living.

Moreover smoking causes impotence in men. Hope you quit smoking after reading this.

7. Other people can’t heal or fix you.

Your friends, family and romantic relationships can help you. They can speed up the healing process, support you when things are bad and guide you towards where you should go. They can reveal truths to you that maybe you couldn’t see. But in the end, when dealing with deep internal wounds and life establishment, no one can actually fix you. That part is on you and your God.

8. The world doesn’t owe you anything.

You’re not owed stuff and things simply by virtue of existence. Life tends to give back what you put into it. The people who always get the most seem to be in my experience, those who give the most freely. So, instead of walking around with an entitled mindset, try to figure out what you can contribute.

9. Just because it “feels right” doesn’t mean it is.

A lot of people will abandon their previously set moral boundaries because something “feels right.” Sometimes things feel right in the moment and are simply destructive in the long run. Feelings are important but acting out entirely on them is a path to destruction.

10. The future is a reality.

You’ll hear a lot about “live in the present,” and you definitely should, but living in the present also comes with the responsibility of making choices right now that will affect your tomorrow. Living in the present is not permission to live like tomorrow doesn’t exist because when it comes around, it can be a rude awakening.

11. Control your sexual urges

Sex isn't everything. It has no profit nor reward. Early and uncontrolled sex makes you inactive towards aspects of your life that needs your energy and attention and an inactive man is an unhappy man - a loser. It also makes you more liable to have an unhealthy marriage later in life.

God forbid we be counting sex partners while our mates are counting money.

Don't rush into sex or make it a priority else you will find it very difficult to attain greater heights in your life which will lead you into depression and regrets especially when you see your mates ahead of you. There is a lot of time for sex after marriage.

12. Your value is everything

I don't know much about ladies but for a guy, you're only followed, respected and regarded by your value - what you can offer. A man with less or no value is looked down by society. A man creates himself not finds himself. Daily exercise in self-control, knowledge and wealth acquisition gradually creates improvements in your worth. Don't underestimate that. You're meant to be a leader in your home so invest in yourself in order for you to lead well.

The lifestyle of a man largely depends on IQ and a higher level of intelligence leads to a better lifestyle for him. Your intelligence and energy is everything. Work on that.

13. You aren't the first to face your difficulties

Most men today think that they have it harder than previous generations did but it is not true. If you could make it to where you are now, you can still do better. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

Be strong and keep hustling. Lessen your gratification and double your hustle. Remember energy and persistence conquers all things.

14. Be careful with women

Do not give your strength to women. Don't love women you can't trust. Study any woman you want to settle down with and don't ignore the red flags you find. You do this for the future you so that you won't find yourself in troubles you could have avoided.

Do not make your woman your superior rather see her as your daughter. Love her and correct her when she errs. Any woman who doesn't respect you shouldn't be in your life. You're the one marrying her and paying the bride price. Don't settle for less.

15. Give attention to your wife and children

Children turn out better when they have the attention of their parents - when they parents spend quality time with them. As children need mother's love and attention, they also need father's care and attention. Have time for them and converse with them. Sometimes children wish their parents had more open conversations with them. Same applies to your wife. Pay attention to her.

I love this.

Most people don't understand once you destroy things during protest, you are indirectly taking away your right.

Some people will say it ìs their constitutional right to protest, yes it is but also know that destruction, blocking of roads and airports, burning down buildings, and occupying Government buildings is no more a protest again but a coup.
were the peaceful protesters the one destroying the properties? Or hoodlums who hijacked the said protest.

HealthMinister Of Finance Commits Suicide Over Recession Caused By Coronavirus by raystanley(op): 5:47pm On Mar 29, 2020
Thomas Schaefer, the finance minister of Germany’s Hesse state, has committed suicide apparently after becoming “deeply worried” over how to cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus, state premier Volker Bouffier said Sunday.

Schaefer, 54, was found dead near a railway track on Saturday. The Wiesbaden prosecution’s office said they believe he died by suicide.

“We are in shock, we are in disbelief and above all we are immensely sad,” Bouffier said in a recorded statement.

Hesse is home to Germany’s financial capital Frankfurt, where major lenders like Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have their headquarters. The European Central Bank is also located in Frankfurt.

A visibly shaken Bouffier recalled that Schaefer, who was Hesse’s finance chief for 10 years, had been working “day and night” to help companies and workers deal with the economic impact of the pandemic.

“Today we have to assume that he was deeply worried,” said Bouffier, a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel.

“It’s precisely during this difficult time that we would have needed someone like him,” he added.

Popular and well-respected, Schaefer had long been touted as a possible successor to Bouffier.

Like Bouffier, Schaefer belonged to Merkel’s centre-right CDU party.

He leaves behind a wife and two children https://www..com/talk/topic,459671.0.html.

HealthThe Nigeria Centre For Disease Control (NCDC) Has Launched A Whatsapp Service by raystanley(op): 3:06pm On Mar 29, 2020
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has launched a WhatsApp service to engage Nigerians on how to curtail the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.

The health agency announced this in a tweet on Sunday, hours after it revealed that the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 has risen to 97.

It explained that the newly launched platform allows for a two-way engagement on WhatsApp, which would aid conversation between the agency and the people.

According to the NCDC, real-time messages will be sent to Nigerians who opt into the service while they can also engage directly with the centre.

It added that those who subscribe to the service would get the latest updates on COVID-19, as well as receive information on how testing can be carried out.

The agency urged interested citizens to add the WhatsApp number to their contact list to get started.

 

More Labs In Place
In another tweet, it announced that it has increased the number of laboratories with the capacity to test for COVID-19 in the country.

The figure, according to the NCDC, has increased to seven with the inclusion of the Virology Laboratory of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, as well as the setting up of another laboratory in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.

HealthBlame Buhari's Gov For Coronavirus Spread — PDP- PUNCH by raystanley(op): 9:59am On Mar 29, 2020
coronavirus spread — PDP spokesperson
Published March 29, 2020
Kola Ologbondiyan

The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in this interview with SUCCESS NWOGU says FG should be blamed for the rising cases of coronavirus infections in Nigeria

Is FG to blame for the rising spread of coronavirus?

Yes, of course, if we do not blame the All Progressives-led Federal Government of President Muhammadu Buhari, who else should we blame? Nigerians are aware that we have been giving pieces of advice since coronavirus started. If you go back to the statements we issued, you will see the augment of the PDP. At some point, we even said that Buhari should be held responsible if the pandemic is not well managed and for failure to carry out his responsibilities. Things were left undone. We provided many pieces of advice. We even said that the Federal Government should adopt stringent measures but we were ignored. We just hope it does not rise beyond the level it is now in the country. That is our prayers.

When we noticed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress is clueless and that it has no solution to offer, we as patriotic citizens and responsible party started being the pathfinder and giving good suggestions. We have been giving pieces of sound advice which, sadly appear to have fallen on deaf ears.

If you recall, the PDP had expressed worry over allegations of corruption in handling of the N1.3tn said to have been set aside by the Central Bank of Nigeria to cushion the effect of COVID-19 on the economy.  We demanded ultimate transparency in the utilisation of the fund and that it must be used for the intended purpose. We had also called on the Federal Government to come clean on the source of the intervention, the specific intervention projects where the fund will be applied, the level of involvement of other tiers of government and private stakeholders, as well as the mode of disbursements and monitoring of the fund.

What other suggestions did you made?

We also had suggested that the COVID-19 interventions be allocated to the three tiers of government to ensure effective delivery and monitoring. Remember that we also called on all economic stakeholders, particularly in the private sector, to immediately rally to articulate solutions and palliative measures, since it is clear that the Buhari-led APC government is clueless and has no solution to the numerous crises it cased on the nation.

But is the FG not making efforts to contain the virus?

It reached to a point when we said the government was inactive and unresponsive to the demands of times. We urged Buhari’s government to step up its actions. We advised the government to  move beyond rudimentary interventions and adopt more stringent measures to further safeguard Nigerians and other residents from the COVID-19 pandemic.

What exactly are you worried about?

We had expressed worry that the approach adopted by the government fall short of the required pre-emptive measures. We raised the alarm that Buhari’s government had left gaps that expose the nation to avoidable risks and the pandemic with the resultant challenge, suffering and inconvenience to the people, even the political class are not spared.

Is that all?

No, we also noted that Nigeria is a strategic international hub and  as such, counselled the FG  to adopt stringent  measures by radically stepping up our international ports and border screening as well as quickly improving our internal surveillance and hygiene monitoring system.

We advised Buhari’s government to go beyond its proposed secondary screening of travellers from certain countries and extend the measure to all international flights coming into the country, given the prevalence of connecting flights and land border crossing by international air travellers.

Did the government adhere to that when it was timely?

Don’t forget that we also pleaded with the FG to ensure that all domestic airlines undertake proper screening of passengers as well as fumigation of their aircraft to guarantee the safety of air travellers within Nigeria.

We also advised Buhari’s government to take immediate steps to create more screening centres and lead in providing more screening equipment in all our airports, seaports, land borders as well as crowded places such as schools, market places, commercial vehicle terminals, public work places, religious gatherings, among others.

You almost …

(Cuts in) If you remember, we also advised the government to  mobilise a more concerted effort against the pandemic, remain open, resist the temptation of false performance claims and keep Nigerians adequately informed on the true position of issues at all times. Did FG adopt such measures? So why won’t we blame Buhari’s government for the current woes of the nation?

Some people said the President ought to personally address Nigerians on the issue.

We were in the vanguard of the call for President Buhari to personally address the nation on the fight against the spreading of the pandemic in the country. Many stakeholders, even the Senate joined in the call for Buhari to address the nation on it. Has Buhari done that personally? We said he must lead from the front and the buck must stop on his table.  Are you not aware that instead of the President to heed to that call, his aides lambasted and lampooned the Senate and other people who called for Buhari to address the nation? Can you imagine that?

So are you saying that the FG has not done enough to address this pandemic?

Yes!  The government has not done enough to address the issue. What have we not said? We have said Nigerians should hold Buhari responsible if it escalated and it has escalated. It is the Federal Government that we are going to hold responsible in the mismanagement.

It is crystal clear that we were never prepared for this pandemic. The promises of the government as to its preparedness have all become hollow as everybody can see now. And we had enough time to safeguard lives.

It is worrisome that a country like Nigeria, with a population of about 200million people, does not have many isolation centres in all the six geopolitical zones of the country. The pandemic came quite unexpectedly but while other nations were being led from the front by their leaders, our President was nowhere to be found.

What measures did the government put in place for the people?

We the PDP are moving forward rather than engaging in blame games like the All Progressives Congress. It is our hope that they will rise to the occasion and do the needful in every sphere so that Nigerians can understand the fatality of the pandemic.

Is it not shameful that our general hospitals, specialist hospitals, in fact the tertiary and secondary health care systems are not even equipped to manage such an outbreak as this? This has become a lesson for the government to ensure that our health institutions are upgraded and equipped to respond to such an unforeseen situation.

So what is your advice to Nigerians?

Nigerians should stay safe and follow all the directives issued by government agencies and the World Health Organisation. They should minimise their movements and stay at home to stop the spread of the virus
