Family / Re: My Cousin refuses to do any house chores because he's a guy by Reptyle(m): 5:29pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
Abetterperson: The guy unfortunately picked up this poor mindset from his upbringing. There are a lot of homes where parents actively make their male kids feel superior to their female kids by not allowing them to do any house chores. Secondly, you can have a situation where the boy watched his father treat his own mother like a house maid in the name of "culture and tradition" and felt that is the way life is wired. I think your mum and dad can lovingly but firmly help him correct this warped mindset now that he lives with your family. On your own part, you need to be a bit more understanding of the fact that he just comes from a different upbringing from yours. Rather than tow this part of hostile aggression, I suggest you adopt a more friendly approach so your position on the matter can be well received. 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: Ikpeazu: IPOB Not As Bad As Terrorists, Bandits In The North by Reptyle(m): 2:24pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
stephanie11: This governor's take is like saying a burglar is not as bad as an armed robber because a burglar can be reasoned with and is only stealing because he is hungry. We need to stop this attempt to rationalize evil. What is bad is bad. Boko Haram did not start off as this uber-violent terrorist organization we know today. They evolved because northern politicians and ethnic jingoists were all over the place rationalizing their existence rather than stamping them out. Guess who is suffering it the most today? The southeast needs to take a stand against this growing IPOB/ESN menace before it grows out of hand. There are more peaceful platforms and means to negotiate the terms of our nationhood than this open call for violence. |
Health / Re: Nigeria Missing As UK Recognises COVID Certificates From Over 50 Countries by Reptyle(m): 3:39pm On Oct 04, 2021 |
vanbonattel: Nigeria is not the problem. Nigerians are the problem. It is not Nigeria that asked Nigerians to begin to sell vaccination cards to travelers that are yet to be vaccinated at the airport. It is not Nigeria that asked Nigerians to set up a syndicate that sells fake covid 19 results and vaccination cards to travelers in the UK, US and UAE. Nigeria has become a pariah because Nigerians just do not know how to behave themselves. We carry our knack for crime outside the shores of this country and begin to blame Nigeria when those other countries resist our misbehavior. Nigerians need to do better. |
Politics / Re: Chike Akunyili Is Dead! Dora Akunyili's Husband Killed By Unknown Gunmen by Reptyle(m): 9:45am On Sep 29, 2021 |
Chigold101: This is a very good take on the issue at hand. I like how you called for investigations before jumping to conclusions. The question is, are you usually this pragmatic when the media announces that herdsmen have committed another murder without any shred of evidence? Would you have been this restrained if the family had announced that the murder may have been carried out by herdsmen? Would you have called for investigations before accepting the claim? I know it is hard to swallow the fact that your kinsmen have evolved into the evil that you condemn in others...but it won't help if you people begin to make excuses for them. IPOB may be fighting a worthy cause but the fact is that there are bad eggs among them that are exploiting the struggle for their own personal and violent agenda. Boko Haram did not start out as the ultra-violent force that we know them to be today until some violent and extreme entities joined the Group. Then they also began to enjoy the support of politicians and people alike who saw them as an agent to disrupt southern politics and chase Christians away from the north. They thought Jonathan will rule forever so they were happy to make the country ungovernable for him. Northerners cheered them on until they turned into the hydra-headed monster and destructive force they are today. Now Jonathan is no longer President but it is too late and the north is suffering the effects of their hypocrisy today. The Southeast needs to condemn these violent crimes and call a spade a spade. IPOB has deviated from its core objectives of peaceful agitations and is now feeding on its own children. The Southeast needs to understand that the Buhari they all love to hate, will soon wrap up his tenure and retire. But if IPOB is allowed to perpetuate this legacy of evil, it will soon get out of control. It is time for the Southeast to speak with one voice and curtail the activities of these renegades before it gets out of hand. 3 Likes |

Education / Re: Pantami’s Professorship: FUTO Alumni Write Institution, Want Explanation by Reptyle(m): 8:23am On Sep 25, 2021 |
ijustdey: So if I understand clearly, what this article is saying is that a body of ex-students of a school are threatening to sue a school they graduated from because of an administrative decision the school took to hire a new teacher? How does that work? Is the administration of the school accountable to the alumni? Why do we thrive in "anyhowness" in this country? The best the alumni can do is express their disagreement sighting reasons why they feel Pantami should not be hired. But to seek to compel the institution to reverse their decision by writ of summons is an aberration. That case is going no where. The university does not owe the alumni any explanation as long as the university senate approved the move and it was endorsed by the owners of the school, in this case the Federal Government of Nigeria, case closed! |
Travel / Re: Pilot Fights Passengers Over Max Airline Flight Delay (Video) by Reptyle(m): 9:45am On Sep 20, 2021 |
micronut: With this pilot's disposition, I would think twice about flying on this plane with him in command. Lot of people do not understand that one of the main dangers of flying is having a pissed-off or mentally challenged pilot who might be harboring suicidal thoughts. This one in the video looks like he is going through a great deal of mental stress and I would be very wary about being on a plane he is flying. |
Health / Re: Ever Had A Bone Dislocation? Share Your Experience With Traditional Bone Setters by Reptyle(m): 5:42pm On Sep 15, 2021 |
Most of those trado-bonesetters end up doing more harm than good. To them, all bone and muscle injuries can be corrected by pulling and rubbing the area roughly. That way, they could end up aggravating what would have otherwise been a minor injury. I STRONGLY advise anyone against patronizing them. Instead, seek out a good orthopaedic surgeon and get your injury checked out. It might be more expensive. But at least it could help save your limb. 3 Likes 1 Share |
Politics / Re: Sit-At-Home: IPOB Looted Bread Van In Enugu & Set It On Fire by Reptyle(m): 10:00am On Sep 15, 2021 |
Penguin2: When I read statements like this, it just makes me feel that most Igbos do not have a problem with oppression if it is being perpetrated by fellow Igbos. Is this the sort of repressive administration that IPOB wants to run in the Southeast? An administration that legislates people's freedom of movement and robs them of their rights to freely determine what they would like to do? If that is the case, why do they have a problem with being a part of Nigeria then? Or is it no longer oppression when an Igbo oppresses a fellow Igbo? Would you be this pragmatic if the bread seller was attacked by people from another tribe? 2 Likes |

Car Talk / Re: I Left Front Seat For My Friend's Wife But She Cautioned Me by Reptyle(m): 1:14pm On Sep 14, 2021 |
Stankovic22: Neither of you was wrong. You were right for respecting yourself and vacating the front seat because for some women it is a big deal and they can embarrass you. She is not wrong in telling you not to vacate the front seat for her next time. She was basically just letting you know she has no qualms with such deference to her status. At least now you know that you won't be embarrassed if you decide to keep the front seat next time. For some women, it is so much of a big deal that they will take exception if their mother-in-law or even their own mother decides to take the front seat. I have a friend whose wife kicked up a very big fight by pointedly telling her mother-in-law to vacate the front seat where she was already seated and get into the back. The mother-in-law came down and angrily decided to take a cab to the venue of the event. Husband got angry, came down, and decided not to go to the event, and "madam front seat" was left alone to drive herself to the event. This incident happened last year. But I can tell you that things are yet to return to normal in that home even today because of that singular incident. I do not know why people make an issue of small things like where to sit in a car. |

Politics / Re: Niger State Government Bans Cattle Markets, Issues New Security Directives by Reptyle(m): 9:33am On Sep 01, 2021 |
HonNL: Same Executive order issued by the governments of Katsina, Zamfara, Kaduna and Niger state. I am glad more state governors are beginning to realise there is more they can do than depend on the FG to resolve the crisis in their backyards. This move will negatively impact the economies of those states. But if it will help curb the criminal activities within the states, then it will pay off in the long run. At least they are doing something unlike that clown in Benue State that mounts a soap box every month end issuing anti-Fulani propaganda and insulting Buhari to hide the fact that he is probably the worst governor in Nigeria. |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Syed Sadat Now Works As A Pizza Delivery Guy In Germany by Reptyle(m): 9:06am On Aug 26, 2021 |
This story makes absolutely no sense to be honest. 2 masters degrees in communication and engineering from Oxford University, former CEO, long experience in telecoms leadership and the only job he could get is pizza delivery boy The story isn't adding up at all. We'll, except if he is under some kind of asylum arrangements that restricts him from applying for and getting any white collar job in Germany and perhaps the EU. But with an educational and experience profile like that, he could offer business and management consulting services for a lot of money. The opportunities for someone like him is literally limitless anywhere in the world. But pizza boy? Naaaah, there is more to the story. |

Taich: Probably because a journalist asked him a question about the development. You need to understand that when a public official is asked a question, the journalist can choose to make of the response they get, what they will...it is no longer under the control of the official what the journalist decides to write. The official can of course decide to give a cryptic "no comments" response. Although that would still be news nonetheless. 2 Likes |

MakotoShishio: What did they expect really? There is a separatist movement in that part of the country by people claiming to be jews and claiming Israel is about to launch a war on Nigeria to liberate them. A bunch of guys show up from nowhere probably after obtaining tourist visas and begin to film a documentary. I frankly don't see how they could have avoided being arrested and interrogated. I think the DSS only did what was right. DSS detention isn't a 5-star accommodation so I don't know what the fuss is about. I am sure they were treated much better than their own security agencies will treat a Nigerian arrested for the same reason in their country. |
Politics / Re: 1,081 Boko Haram Members, Senior Commanders Surrender In Bama, Borno by Reptyle(m): 9:56pm On Aug 09, 2021 |
The Niger Delta fought a war of attrition for years. The north took the baton and that has been on for over 10 years now. While we are doing all we can to quell that fire that was foolishly left to burn out of control, the southeast wants to walk down the road to perdition. Afterall all said and done, no region thrives while a full-blown war is being fought on their land. This thing that IPOB/ESN is trying to start will only end in premium tears. I hope wisdom prevails on all sides. |
Travel / Re: The Bad Behaviour Of Some Nigerians Abroad by Reptyle(m): 2:39pm On Aug 09, 2021 |
Blurpy: It is really unfortunate that with all of these and so many more criminal activities of our fellow Nigerians in diaspora, we are quick to lampoon the country for the poor state of our international passport. Ghana recently gained an ease of visa restrictions to the UAE for instance and Nigerians went amock on social media blaming Buhari for the situation. I feel that until we all realise that we are all collectively responsible for improving the country's image by carrying ourselves in line with the laws of other countries, we will not make much progress. 1 Like 1 Share |

SeeThisLoser: Only a gullible bunch of illiterates will believe the nonsense that this lawyer is spewing. Mr. Kanu is on trial in Nigeria; was granted bail and fled to another country. For this reason, his bail was revoked and the courts issued a bench warrant for his arrest. He was apprehended in a neutral country where he went of his own volition and brought back to Nigeria to face trial. Nigeria is a sovereign country and whatever issues the UK has with his arrest will be resolved through diplomatic channels. Bad enough that the UK has to explain how and why they issued another passport to Kanu who is a fugitive from the law. After all, one of the conditions of his bail was that he deposit both his Nigerian and British passports with the courts. If they like let them involve the largest law firm in the world, Kanu will be tried here in Nigeria and jailed if found guilty. Every other thing na diplomacy go settle am. 2 Likes 1 Share |
