BusinessRe: History Of Coca-cola Advertising Slogans by rentAcock(m): 4:46pm On May 31, 2020
What makes me angry is the fact that they have trademarked and copyrighted these slogans so no one else can ever use them without the threat of being sued.

I need this hacker group to focus their attention on GTB for stealing my N2,000 last year and still refusing to refund me. I want them to get hacked and looted to the tune of N1 Billion.

ArewaWife:
There are a lot of closeted men in nigeria especially lagos and abuja, who are married. In Some of the cases the wife know but still stay. Maybe they feel so far he isnt cheating with a woman they can let it slide.
Wow. This comment is powerul.
Christianity EtcRe: 6 Useful Tips For Raising Godly And Confident Children by rentAcock(m): 9:49am On May 31, 2020
Its not always about instilling confidence in your children. Some of the most successful scientists, innovators, inventors etc are shy introverts. Just let your child know you are there to support and guide them. For example, stop telling an average looking child that he's cute when he is self aware that he's just average. I see so many people on social media typing things like "aww such a cute baby" when they know rightfully well the baby is just average. Falsely boosting your children's confidence with lies will make them not trust your words.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Didn't You Go To Church Today? by rentAcock(m): 9:43am On May 31, 2020
Why not keep the church closed for now to at least limit the spread of the virus? Sometimes I just feel like some of these pastors are desperate for Sunday offering that they will break the law by holding a congregation.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Weird Dream Of Being A Soldier by rentAcock(m): 9:30am On May 31, 2020
I see you've been binge watching several action movies or perhaps you have been playing more combat video games thanks to the lock down. All your dreams are figments of your imagination inspired by your media consumption. But in your desperation for otherworldly interpretations, you will ignore my comment but accept one that says you are being pursued by the devil or something like that. Confirmation bias is a very bad thing.

RomanceRe: Beautiful Photos Of Omotola’s Daughter Meraiah, Living Life In America by rentAcock(m): 9:07am On May 31, 2020
What do they eat in America to have such glowing skin and well shaped bottom? We keep hearing natural food is the best which is what we eat in Nigeria but I've noticed Nigerian ladies living in America tend to have nicer hair texture and nicer curves.
CrimeRe: George Floyed's Memorial Gofundme Donation Hits $4.6M Dollars In Just 3days by rentAcock(m): 9:04am On May 31, 2020
America is a police state. All Nigerians living in America should immediately return back home before they become victims to this institutionalized form of racism and oppression. Yes our police is corrupt, but its one thing being extorted for N100 bribe by your own kind and it is another thing being humiliated and killed in the hands of the white man.

PetsRe: HELP; My Caucasian Puppy Is Dying by rentAcock(m): 8:49am On May 31, 2020
I don't mean to make light of your situation but it seems like your puppy has COVID-19. Just as in some humans, animals may have GI symptoms like loose watery stool. You should immediately give it some antibiotics then take it to a university hospital so it can be placed under a ventilator. Goodluck.

Come to think of it, this transexual might actually have married men as clients. Some women are married to closet homosexuals without knowing it.

Sammyscott97:
Good day Nairaland, am sammy, am 25years, a student of crutech. I stay in Calabar, it's been very tough for me during this lockdown, my parents are Tired of providing for me, because the don't have much, and am Tired of staying home, and asking my parents for money every single day. Please i need a job, i beleive Nairalanders can help me do that. Thank you very much.
Check out several freelancing threads on Nairaland there are tons of people working for oyinbos from the comfort of their homes right here in Nigeria. In fact with the paradigm shift of working from office to working at home, there will be more demand for cheap skilled labour from countries like Nigeria and India. Check out Fiverr, upwork, domaining etc. Goodluck.
CrimeRe: See Protests For The Murder Of George Floyd (pics) by rentAcock(m): 11:43pm On May 30, 2020
You won't see Nigerians living abroad partaking in these protests. Somehow in their little minds they've convinced themselves that they are not Black and the plight of the Black man is not their concern. What they seem to forget is the fact that many Black Americans died fighting for the freedom they enjoy today. Go to the travel section or on social media sites, you will see many of them displaying American passports but they are the same ones who will look down on Black Americans instead of embracing and uplifting them. Nigerians are selfish.

I cannot fully understand the purpose of this thread and its relevance to mankind. Is it show off or attention seeking?
FamilyRe: Why Your Diasporan Friends And Family Do Not Send You Money When You Ask. by rentAcock(m):
Abroad people call me every weekend asking me to send money (not bragging). Many of them are frustrated over there. They work long hours including overtime but the government takes federal, state, city, social security, medicare, medicaid and disability taxes. On top of that, when they buy biscuit, they will still take sales tax. They pay exorbitant rent; those who "own" homes are locked in a loan repayment for 30yrs of which they still have to pay annual taxes for their house. Phone bill can cost over $60 per line, cable $120, internet $80 and they still pay tax on top of it. Burger and chips with soft drink can easily cost you $16 plus tax.

Sure some folks are making over $100,000 theoretically especially healthcare workers in expensive states like California and new York, but by the time they deduct all those taxes from their check, they are left with just $40,000. Then they still have to pay more taxes on every thing they buy. That's not life. It's like a rat wheel, oscillating but not making any progress. I have a cousin who was in the same situation in America, after 10yrs working as a social worker, he returned home and we started up a business. He still regrets all the years he spent slaving away in America. Today, he travels the world on vacation and visiting places he didn't even have time to visit when he was living abroad. It's not too late for Nigerians living abroad to return home; you can make it big here with less stress and you will extend your life span.
CrimeRe: Bus Driver Refuse To Drive After NYPD Loaded Protesters They Arrested In Brookly by rentAcock(m): 6:18pm On May 30, 2020
This is what revolution is all about. Without the fear of arrest or termination, everyone is protesting in their own little way to make a statement and bring about change. They are continuing the traditions of former civil rights flag bearers like Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and Dr Martin Luther King to name just a few. But you know who you won't see in these protests going on in America? You won't see Africans participating. Somehow these Africans living in the diaspora think they are not part of the struggle of the Black man. They've been brainwashed to believe they are even superior to the Black Americans and they look down on them and call them "akata." These Africans forget that it is because of the civil rights movements from the 50's -80's that earned them the right to even gain access into America. They don't realize that by embracing Black Americans and joining hands to eradicate the ills of social injustice, inequality and oppression, they sooner or later they and their children may suffer the same fate.
I applaud this bus driver and every peaceful protester that took to the streets to make their voice heard. They should not stop until real changes has been made in every police department in their country. As Nigerians we should learn from these guys in bringing about change in our country, one for all and all for one.
