Travel / Re: Lagos Features In City Of Johannesburg Campaign, Online Comments Turn Nasty by Realtouchnot: 9:37am On Jun 22, 2020 |
FuckTheWorld: Sorry to burst your bubble bro, almost every African country is better than Nigeria. I don't know why we're so delusional. Compare all the indicators of development between Nigeria and other African countries. Indicis you can base your comparison are 1. Average power supply 2. Road network and transportation 3. Maternal mortality 4. Infant mortality 5. Inflation and stability of currency 6. Unemployment rate and underemployment 7. GDP and GNP 8. Health Insurance 9. Global peace index and insecurity 10. Healthy life expectancy 11. Percentage population below poverty line 12. School enrollment and Literacy level 13. Gender inequality 14. Corruption index. Compare Nigeria to any other African country using the above index (Google can do a good job) and see if Nigeria is not the worst place on earth. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Culture / We Are All Osus by Realtouchnot: 10:14am On Nov 24, 2019 |
The osu cast system was a strong one in the eastern part of Nigeria so many years ago. It is said that they have been sold to the deities, they and their descendants. It is like the slave system during the slave trade era. No one is to associate with them. Worse than the Osus, were the Umes. An Osu would not interact with or get married to an Ume. The reason people don't associate with them is that they are thought to be cursed and bring bad luck. This was a paradox to me as the prominent politicians and rich people from my village then were Osus. Growing up in Nigeria, I made some research, both from reading and enquiring from the elders, and I came to understand that other than by birth, there are other ways, one can become Osu. 1. By physical association. If you sleep under the same roof with an Osu, you automatically become one. This is so serious that if it's raining and you run into an Osu's house for shelter, you're not to go back to your house, you're now an Osu. You should not be a roommate of an Osu. 2. By marriage and extension sexual relations. The one people practice today is the marriage because when I was in the village, it was common for even the so called custodians of the law to be in sexual relationships with Osus, but be the first to cast a stone at young people who are intending to get married to the so called Osus. You can see that all of us are Osus. About 12years ago, my uncle was telling me about not bringing home an Osu girl. I asked him why and he started talking about badluck. I made him to understand that his life is already full of badluck and he didn't marry an Osu. My mum was trying to suggest something like that and I told them never to mention it to me again in their existence. It was really insulting to me that people who really ain't educated would be advising me on who to marry. By the way, my uncle's marriage has been in shambles. My roommate throughout my university is an Osu. I courted my girl for 4years and never for once enquired whether she was Osu or not. I actually started praying to have an Osu as a wife so that I could really fight this shit out with my family. It’s terrible when I hear idiots who went to university talk about how they won't marry Osu because of some myths still peddled by old uninformed village old men. It's really disgusting. |

You need to speak to your family that your sister is making the right decision. The osu cast system is a complete scam. Going by how one becomes osu, you and your parents are osus now. |

Politics / Enugu Airport Closure: The Facts - Charles Ogbu by Realtouchnot: 7:41pm On Aug 23, 2019 |
Going by reactions that trailed the suspension of the planned closure of Akanu Ibiam "International" Airport Enugu, I believe there is a whole lot of miss-information flying in the air. Let me make some clarifications: The Akanu Ibiam Airport is in need of repair and deserved to be closed to allow for thorough maintenance. The body responsible for the Airport is the federal ministry of Aviation because Airport, Seaport, Rail line, Electricity, etc are in the EXCLUSIVE LIST which contains about 68 items only the federal govt has exclusive control over. State can only touch any of those items if the federal Authorities permit it. By announcing that Enugu Airport would be closed to allow for repair work, the federal authorities were doing the right thing Problem is, There was absolutely nothing on ground to show that the planned closure was for the purpose of maintenance. There was: No contract awarded for the airport Repair No date given for work to start and no date given for the completion. No work done on Mbakwe Airport, Owerri to upgrade it to a position where it would be able to receive diverted Enugu bound passengers as we witnessed with Kaduna Airport when Abuja International Airport was to be repaired. In essence, both the permanent Secretary in the Aviation minister who ordered the closure before the Minister was sworn in and the minister himself were all being a bit economical with the truth because you can't claim to be closing an airport for repair when you haven't even awarded the contract yet even when the Airport deterioration didn't happen over night and you were the one collecting tax, levies and other collectables from the Airport. This is the reason people opposed the planned closure which has now been stepped down. No one is arguing against the federal govt maintaining the Airport. 2 Likes 1 Share |

crusufixo: You guys should get some sense. Our journalism is a joke. Whoever wrote the original post should have added some background for us to know where they were coming from. Let me inform you what happened. 2months to the end of his tenure, Okorocha pronounced the establishment of 8 new universities and appointed 8 new vice chancellors...madness. He didn't build any tangible structures oh. No state in Nigeria has 2 universities, but we're talking about 8. So what is the governor supposed to do? |
Politics / Re: Imo: Panel recommends sacking of VCs, Rectors appointed by Okorocha by Realtouchnot: 8:39am On Aug 05, 2019 |
vertueptime: Conversely, Ihedioha has not demolished any of Okorochas project. Akachi structure was being demolished by owners of the land, who got a court order to take back their land and they waited till Okorocha left before pouncing. Freedom Square fell down because of heavy rain. Pillars used to decorate Owerri started falling down because they were built without iron concrete. The overhead bars across Owerri started crumbling and people have been calling the government to take them down before some is crushed by one of them |

Even the federal government cannot establish 8 new universities now. Mind you, he never funded the existing state university.

Celebrities / The Hipocrisy Of Woke Nigerians - Dr Uju Okorie by Realtouchnot: 12:46am On Aug 03, 2019 |
Award-winning Nigerian writer Olutimehin Adegbeye recently documented in a set of tweets the accusation that the voice behind Big Brother, in the currently running programme - Big Brother Nigeria (BBN) did sexually assault her in an awfully humiliating way, a few years ago. Judging by the explosive outrage that followed the COZA saga, I did expect a powerful boycott of BBN, several calls for the sack of Andre Blaze Henshaw or at least for the spear-headers of the COZA saga on social media to quit their commentaries on BBN until the organisers do the decent thing and ask Mr Henshaw to step down amid this shameful accusation. But, crickets. Absolute crickets. The story did not even trend. A lady on this Facebook who claimed to be a defender of the Christian faith and who in fact held a press conference on the COZA matter, has to my utter shock, continued to entertain her Facebook audience by running BBN commentaries on the housemates and their fornication on international television. Ms Adegbeye has only received "sorries" and "take hearts" on twitter and to the best of my knowledge, nothing more. So why has there been this massive difference in the response of the Nigerian Social Media to both events, even though there are more than enough similarities between them? Because, shocking as it may seem, the Nigerian woke society really has no problem with sexual violence. It rather has a problem with any thing that has to do with God and religion. It was acclaimed author Chimamanda Adichie who once said: "If you criticise X in women and you do not criticise X in men, you do not have a problem with X. You have a problem with women." To bring it home, I'd paraphrase. "If you move placards for sexual violence in the church and you do not move placards for sexual violence in BBN, you do not have a problem with sexual violence. You have a problem with the church." So, what should our response be as believers when the world shows its faux concern about the wrongs happening in the church? Firstly, understand that worldly outrage is never and can never be in the interest of the Christian faith. Friends, no matter how good intentioned the world appears to be in fighting for justice and fairness in the church, it is always and will always be an enemy. Hatred for the church of God is at and will always be at the centre of any sort of "concern" for the church, from the world. Secondly, believers are urged to speak up when our faith is under threat by charlatans. "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them." (Ephesians 5:11; NLT) When a man sitting at the helm of affairs amongst God's people is accused of being a wolf in shepherd's clothing, it is the godly thing to do for him to step down from that position or to be made to do so, until the allegations are either refuted or confirmed. Standing on the pulpit to minister with a foul-smelling reputation trailing behind, should be vehemently opposed in the church. In outlining the qualities of a Christian leader, scriptures say: "Also, people outside the church must speak well of him so that he will not be disgraced and fall into the devil’s trap." (1 Timothy 3:7; NLT) But while we are engaged in the business of earnestly contending for the faith and exposing the unfruitful works of darkness, it is crucial to understand that our motives should stand ramrod straight, independent of the response from society. The world may be driving a narrative of pseudo-justice, as can be seen in the scenarios painted above, but never should we identify with their cause, even though we stand for what is right. Reason being that our motives can never be the same as theirs. So while they carry their placards, dear believer, stand aside. Make your position clear and stand aside. You are not the same with the placard carriers. For while your motive for not keeping silent on issues like this is to earnestly contend for the faith, theirs is to destroy the faith. Dear World, Ms Olutimehin Adegbeye has cried out to you. She has revealed gory details of the sexual violence she suffered at the hands of the voice behind your current entertainment - How he groped and fondled her body, violated her dignity and used a sex-toy on her while she was incapacitated, in the full glare of other people. Will you fight for her? Will you boycott Big Brother Nigeria until Mr Henshaw is fired and an investigation carried out? Will you deny yourself the pornography you are currently enjoying in solidarity with a broken woman? Will you cease to run commentaries on nudity and immorality on your Facebook walls until justice is done? Just as you shouted "Shame on you!" to the worshippers at COZA, will you do the same to yourselves, who continue to enjoy this lewd and abysmally useless programme? Is sexual violence no longer that serious? Is your entertainment by fornication and adultery way more important than justice for Olutimehin? Where is your outrage? Where are the bloggers? Where are the placard carriers? Where are the investigative journalists? Where are the press conference organisers? A woman as credible as Ms Adegbeye, an award winning writer, TedX speaker par excellence and human rights activist has wailed very loudly to you. But the total silence from you has been incredibly deafening. It has ruptured my tympanic membranes. We believers cried ourselves hoarse when a pastor was so accused. We stood on the Lord's side, asking him to step down until the matter is cleared, that the name of God be not blasphemed. We stood up for righteousness. The babies and undiscerning among us even foolishly identified with you in the cacophony of it all. Now, your man has been accused. Your morality has been put to the test. But porn has proven itself again to be more powerful and way more crucial to your lives than justice for a violated woman. You never did have a problem with sexual violence, dear world; and never will you have. You rather have a problem with the Most High and his people. Dear world, disappoint us this once and move the placard train to BBN House. Will you? No, you will not. Because it is not in you to do what is right. So even in our duty to earnestly contend for our faith, we will never identify with your faux concern, for we understand that behind the placards lie not the thirst for justice but the dark desires to destroy the Christian faith. And what a shame it is. Thank you for reading.
