Different strokes.While peoople like us are thinking of changing our socalled baptismal names unfortunately given to us as children.

I find it very embarassing and humiliating telling oyinbo that my name is john,edward,micheal or anthony,as african.But i use it because it makes it easiar for them call and rite,since they are either too dum-b or too over bloated to write or mention african names.

They think african names,like the language are primitives,"unoyinbo" and apelike.

SELFWORTH: I don't understand this fascination with Jet and Ministers of God. Jesus did not own a single thing while he lived on planet earth . You don't need all these material things for your life to make a real impact on lives of other fellow beings or leave a lasting legacy. None of these material things bring any fulfilment of any kind.

How does the jet bring glory to Christ?

Because nigerian churches centres on properity without thinking or working hard.

So when he raised the issue that his church can not be left out in the private jet mania,that being left out will mean their god is not properous,his flocks which probably includes gej quickly fell for the line and scrambled all the the available resources,stolen,saved,borrowed,widowed earnings and bought him one oyinbo marvel.

He is a shameless tout.An offer nobles like buhari cannot accept even with a thousand metres pole inbetween is an opportunity of a life time for an osu like kalu.

If animals like him who are the bane of corruption and nigerian syndromes are locked for their criminalities,insurgencies will fade out in nigeria.

It feels so hopeless.Like a people watching themselves drowning and cant do nothing to save themselves.

This is a masterpiece.It made the picture of nigeria so glaring.It is like you can touch,you can feel,you can smell it and you can see,even when you are thousands of miles away.

Do you know that primates in their complex socalled jungle societies punish outlaws?They have laws and orders that keeps alive.

Even if it just a tuber of yam a man stole,he is a thief.It is a crime and he must pay for it.

A thief is a thief,irrespective of the status,class,color or creed.

hoodboy: seeing that GEJ is probably a church member....

Of course,he has settled him like the militants.Like he has settled the oil barons,the senators,the bokoharams,the paedophiles,that halliburtons,the OBJs,the IBBs and all the underwolds of this world.

He uses our resources like he uses tissue paper.

These are men playing god with fo-ools.

Why not be a god?Instead of begger?.

Some yorubas are becoming openly self-destruct.How can they be collectively honouring a rogue traditionally?

That is the spirit of nigeria.A situation where immoralities have become moralities,where the elders are blind to the truth,because they dont know.The spirit of backardness and the spirit of extinction.

Helplessness.

papadenzel: Good opportunities 4 bizmen but ur average yahoo boy will see dis as opportunity 4 new maga. Oyibo is seeing our potential but sure we'll abuse dis soon! Smh

Those muderfuckers behead people for mere weed dealings,you know.No sane crimnals will want to go near there.If they do,it will be at their own violent peril.

hypeman: I agree.. I just had to call him out for calling me an American wannabe, that's disrespectful...

Those are issues that should be bothering us,"enyim nwaoke".We are in some real deep shi-t as a people and that is what we should be concerned with.

And it is quite simple to solve-by making everybody accountable for their actions.Good should be rewarded,while bad at the same should be rewarded.

hercules07: Lagosians were not paying tax, the state government did not have the means to identify and pursue these guys, Alpha Beta came and said, we will increase your revenue base from X billion to Y billion by identifying and blocking loopholes, we will also set up IT infrastructure for you to make tax collection easier, if we meet our target, we get a certain percentage, if not, we do not get our payment, ABC continually meets its targets and gets paid, go and ask Okonjo Iweala, the NCC guys how much consultants made from the debt forgiveness and GSM spectrum auction, it is capitalism and they have added value, I am sure there are other deals that one can hold Tinubu liable for, the ABC one is just normal business.

But could there have been other competent and independent indiginous companies with no personal ties tinubu or lagos state government taht could have done the same?

And funny enough,like you said,his government never bothered to set up appropriate tax scheme when he was incharge.Why was that?

hypeman: That's what happens when your outlook to life is confined to the forests around your village square...

Maybe, Andre and Redsun would educate you further... Most of the ad-libs I use aren't African American words - they're Black British words, of Caribbean origin..

Let me educate you a little bit:

- I use "you lot" - AAs say "y'all."
- I use "darg" - AAs say "dawg."
- I use "batty or bum" - AAs say "butt or booty."
- I use "bruv" - AAs say "brah."

etc.. learn and stop being ignorant, Mr. Globe...

He is english schooled,while you are american schooled.It makes no difference,they are just alterations in oyinbo language.

And dont forget that what drives word are the people inquisitiveness,inventiveness and open mindedness.People abilities to reinvent,identify,exhibit and announce themselves.And what kills language are the exact opposites.

tpia1: @ topic

this is our burden which we have to bear.


too bad.

anyone in doubt, btw, should browse nairaland.

No doubt tpia,they need to hear you talk about jesus.

hypeman: Huh? Can you explain further?

It is easy.Just reverse your views and your statement that prompted my response.

tpia1: ^turn to JESUS.

I know that name pricks you like fire, but its your only hope.

What if i am the jesus that you are searching for?And that i can free you from you self-inflicted afflictions?

Come to me baby,i will lessen your heavey laden.It cost you nothing.

tpia1: nobody doubts that for sure.

What are you doing here?Did you just missed your way to the coven?

hypeman: Since, this is nairaland, not biafraland - how about we separate the "wheat" from the "chaff" and let the REAL Igbos(not Biafrans) decide what's best for Igbos on this forum..

Roll call of the real Igbos:

- Ifyalways.
- eGuerilla.
- Danka777.
- Olodostein.
- Ogugua88.
- Stillwater.
- ItsModella.
- ikekings.
- Sam_ikenna.
- Manny4life.
- Cap28.
- Horus.
- Igbo2011.
- Redsun.

You are mistaking the harvest for the chaffs and vice versa.

Nna,adi kwa serious oo!

All will fall into places with time.Soon in nigeria,the chaffs will be seperated from the harvest,tribes and locations not withstanding.

Tpia,you need some African herbs.

^YOU need to give JESUS a shot so he can free you from your darkness.[/quote]

hercules07: His company does not collect it, he only identifies those who should pay more.

Identify in what sense?Are there not rules and guidelines that stipulates what companies,one man businesses and individuals pay as taxes on their gross incomes and earnings?

Why does he take an ex governor to do that?Is he a one-man tax evasion agaency?

tpia1: i wonder what exactly people gain from adultery?

you just sell your life to witches and wizards.

if you're not one of them, how do you expect to not be destroyed? And even if.

What they gain is adventure and fun that being static and spellbound cant give them.

Give it a shot,it may free you up.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]What's the matter with you? This Oju Yobo's tax collection company is very efficient and it helps Lagos State with the collection of approx N300billion per year. Is a 10% compensation to the said company unreasonable? Do you not see that all SW states will enjoy higher tax revenues once SW Regionalization is complete? Would it not be better for the said company to gain N1trillion per year instead of ordinary N30billion per year?

We are not even talking about good toll roads throughout the new SW region. Good people and good companies, preferably owned by the usual suspects, outright or by proxy, will oun all the associated concessions.

Abeg make we hear word.[/quote]I know you are being sarcastic.

But that is a classic case of the more you look the less you scenario in a "progressive" state lagos,nigeria.

What tinubu,an imidiate incumbent governor is doing managing the revenue coffers of a government that he is no longer oblige by oat to protect is treacherous.It shows the lack of ethics,fairness,openess and impartiality in all arms and spheres of government in nigeria

Fashola what are you waiting to mandate speed limits on lagos roads?Another lessons that the villagers need to learn.

On a treacherous bridge like that 55mph should be the speed limit.

afam4eva: it's left for her to decide whether she wants to apologize or not but i don't really thing she's done anything wrong. ogugua is a pan-Nigeria, Pan-African, Pan-World but not Pan-Igbo. That's who she is.

What makes some a pan igbo that is different from pan world/african?

Igbo is the smaller version africa and the world in general.

IGBO-AFRICA-WORLD and vis A vis.

Every publicity is a good publicity.This Ogugua seems to be selling and she is the kind of nigerians that we need to put their heads together and free the masses from mental slavery.It doesnt have to be collective,but everybody should play their own little positive roles in helping to free the people from shackles of ignorance.Even if it means just speaking out.


I dont know much about her views in different,but i know she is a democrat based on her interest in american election, which is a positive sign and her fault here seems to be that she hit the point where it hurts.That ignorant igbos are part of nigerian problems too.

ochukoccna: I believe the pictures tell the story why Myth R lost
[size=18pt]How many Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans can you see in the pictures?[/size]

I always deem any black person in their crowd as a lost sheep.Their beliefs are so contrary to black beliefs.Contrary to justice,oneness and love.

It feels like a blackperson in a KKK midnight coven gathering.

redcliff: [size=20pt]THE DIRT OFF YOUR SHOULDER ACT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT AMERICANS WOULD PICK SWAG OVER INTELLIGENCE ANY DAY ANYTIME[/size]

No,that is wrong.They picked sanity over insanity.

The day of judgement.

Godwill bless america.I would have been so coldly sad if they had worn.

Andre Uweh: Ji Nwayo nwannem

And to think he is talking to a woman like that,is so "sissyish".

Abi na woman he be sef?
