Even I who know of someone called Appeal Court (Apili for short) am amazed at your list. Surely you are joking about Aeroplane ✈️
No, I am not joking about Aeroplane.

Hon. Brodrick Aeroplane is the chairman of Ezebiri Community in Bomadi LGA Delta State.

I used to hear comedians use it in jokes I never really knew it was actually a name.


A had a neighbor one time in kaduna... one of the son's name was pikin I asked if it was a nickname or alias. They said no, real name. undecided


For the most unusual names though hand the trophy to the Delta and bayelsa ijaws undecided

Those ones can answer anything. And how can I forget my plateau people. Pan, rang and so many Chinese sounding names.


Someone made a joke about them dropping a plate at the birth of a child and naming the child after the sound the plate made when it hit the ground! lipsrsealed

IslamRe: Black Man Receives Massive Racist Abuse For Marrying An Arab Woman by ReubenE(m): 5:40pm On Mar 25

I manage noni.

If you can't see the common theme that Arabs and Jews see your race as a lesser, inferior race, then I can't help you.
Exactly, that is the point and that is what you should be talking about but you deciding to go about creating a false equivalence. Trying to be smart by half.

Your initial comment did not carry any point of Arabs seeing blacks as a lesser and inferior race until I called you out.

This report don't have anything to do with Jews. The report is about Arabs racially abusing a black man. Face that squarely and stop trying to deflect attention

This is the same way Jews see Christians especially black Christians.

The way African Christians especially Nigerians carry Israel on their heads like when Osimhen was hawking gala in traffic is what I don't understand.

Israelis think of you all as lesser humans physically and spiritually. Dem no send una papa.
How did you manage to leave the post completely to talk about something else.

A black man was racially abused because he married an Arab woman. That is the report, and that is what you should be talking about

Something is wrong with the black man.

If Stammer was in Nigeria and three suicide bombers exploded in a British Market and elsewhere, he would cut short his trip and go back home to attend to the emergency.

But the black man, Tinubu is traveling to another country when bombs are exploding in his country, killing innocent people and leaving tens of people injured.

I know some fools will say is he suppose to go and treat the injured by himself or pick a gun to go after the Islamic terrorists.

Sir, I have known you here for years now and even have had many exchanges with you.

Getaway you..
Happy serfs..

You want to make the argument that government involvement in business is wrong when the very government you are trying to defend with that warped narrative is busy awarding all construction contracts to some very successful government businesses from China!
How about that?


No economy will grow if the pricing for the most essential commodities are left to unpredictable vvagaries of undefined "free trade". You are just so full of it, abi too empty for this..

You surrendered the cement, floor and grain businesses to this guy and he has been setting the prices so high Nigerians are dying slowly while he laughs to the bank.
You guys are now trying to bring him into the petroleum business with all that weird talk about how private businesses flourish. Why is it that when private businesses fail you keep mute?

Is ECONET not a private business? It crumbled. Why don't ypu use that as an example to ban private ownership of companies? Look at the power sector after privatisation. Its booming, abi? Why don't use the failures at PHCN and the many collapsed private banks and insurance companies as good reasons to argeu against privatisation too??
You are wasting your time with that tax master.

Just like Tinubu that attempt to solve every problem in Nigeria with rice, that guy's solution to every Nigerian problem is tax and more tax.

He even said the only way the price of fuel can reduce in Nigeria is for every Nigerian including beggars to pay half of their income in tax grin

That guy writes very well but very empty, and perhaps a paid tax agent too. Cause for the last 2-3 years I have known him here, his only proffered solution to problems is tax and more tax. I am even amazed by how he is able to insert paying more tax into every conversation like his life depends on it.

Yes. He is not offering any value to the conversation, just throwing insults and accusations.

When he responded to the other poster, I was thinking he would say something reasonable to debunk what the other man said so those of us reading can learn. He said practically nothing in his two replies.

This guy is just being overated. He can’t do sh!t.. if E sure for him he should look for someone’s trouble instead of waiting for someone to look for his trouble.
He is the most overrated boy in history.

Dude that has not fought a single war. Even Russia that is a fighting bloc from tens of years ago and even today is still fighting small Ukraine for over 4 years.
They are comparing that boy and his country with relatively far less war experience to countries like the US and Israel that a day they don't kill someone or look for trouble somewhere is like a wasted day.

The US has been fighting war since the end of WWII with lots of field experience, and they still have the hardware far more than anyone.

People hyping that boy like if war breaks out today between North Korea and another country, North Korea is just going to shoot a nuclear weapon.

Threatening the US with nuclear weapons, the only country to have actually used it on human beings is even funny to me.
Even all mighty Russia has not used it on their enemies let alone tiny North Korea.

The US will still be the next country to shoot a nuclear bomb on human beings again before another country will do.
We just hope it doesn't get to that.

Surprised you and others don't see why Zelensky is "shooking mouth" in your words.

Iran is aiding the war efforts of Russia in Ukraine. They supply Russia Shahed Drones and other weapons that Russia use in Ukraine, so why do you think Ukrainian president talking about trouble in Iran is out of place.

Iran made itself an enemy of Ukraine the moment they started arming Russia's war efforts in Ukraine.

Hankim:
With all due respect, you are always off point and full of negatives , all you care is how Nigerians should pay taxes. Spit
I am joining you to spit on him. He is always about Nigerians suffering.

He left the issue of $30 million mismanagement to go and talk about the overall problem of lack of sufficient funding with baseless comparison from New York City.
Even New York still talk about more funding but that does not mean people should ignore the little the one available now is meant to do but is not obviously done in our case here.

The funny part of him is that he always ends with I am not making excuses for Tinubu or supporting him. That's exactly what a government apologist would say.

He talks about Nigerians always paying tax and making sacrifices.
Curious to know if he even has tax ID.

His solution to all the problems in Nigeria is paying tax and more tax
PoliticsRe: Senate Summons Key Ministers Over Failed $30m Safe School Plan To Prevent Kidnap by ReubenE(m): 9:23am On Dec 04, 2025
nairalanda1:
Good job,but let's face reality

Even if the 30 million was spent adequately, it won't guarantee security for all schools.

Nigeria police has a budget that is one tenth of the budget that the city of new York uses to secure 25 million new yorkers. The defence budget is even very scanty. The miracle is why this country hasn't long since been under the rule of anarchic thugs ages ago.

Government is failing at making more money and until they succeed we can't equip the police and army to secure our schools well.


Note also that the schools that get attacked are in remote areas which is hundreds of schools. Doubt 30 million can secure all of them.

Note that I am not excusing corruption or saying that tinubu is doing well, but that tinubu is failing in not producing an economy that generates enough income to fund our security
The problem with your submissions all the time is that you always fail to concentrate and talk about the small that could have been done with the small money that was not obviously done. Rather you always end up making excuses for government with baseless comparison.

Even the New York City security budget you are drawing comparisons from, ask the security top brass there, they will still tell you it is not enough.

Sometimes focus on the small that could have been done with the small money that's obviously not done and save the world from your endless excuses for Tinubu.
Again, remove your mask. Nobody will criticise you cause you have the freedom of association and assembly.
You don't need to always end with "I am not saying Tinubu is doing well or I am not making excuses for him" cause that's exactly what someone making excuses for him would say.

Face the issue of $30 million not used properly and not the overall problem of not enough funding.
You are trying to muddy the water to divert attention.

We4all:
Many men have been sleeping with their daughters and there haven't been a public or social media uproar, but now every man is standing up for the man who was supposedly falsely accused by his wife.

The question is, why did the woman accuse her husband in the first place and how was it determined that she lied? I am not holding brief for anyone, but the police should investigate this thoroughly as it could be a case of the woman retracting her accusations because she is being threatened by her in-laws.
Where did you hear the evil woman retracted her words cause of threats.

They carried out thorough medical examination on the two children and found no human being has tampered with their bodies.
In that regard, the evil woman obviously lied against the man of sleeping (raping) with his own children

When Jonathan was in power and we complained of marginalisation, Igbos mocked us and told us to go and meet Tinubu.

With or without the presidency, the south west will keep on prospering.
Was it not the South West that connived with the North to scuttle the chance of their own daughter, Hon. Mulikat Akande from Oyo State from becoming the Speaker of the House of Representatives under Jonathan?

It is Yoruba people that joined with the North to give that seat to Aminu Tambuwal, for a long time putting the control of both houses of the National Assembly under the control of Northerners.

It is obvious that you don't know Bayelsa. Smh.
Apart from seeing this in real life, here's it on Google map. It's not even supposed to be a state if we consider its paltry land mass.


If you know Lagos, you will not lie that it will take 4-5 hours to cover Lagos. Smh. You're deliberately lying to convey your ingratitude to Lagos.
So your knowledge of Bayelsa and land is from Google map grin

We will not progress this exchange since you have severely limited knowledge of what you are talking about.

I have lived in Bayelsa for many years and I have lived in LAGOS for 20+ years so I know exactly what I am saying about the two cases.
Bayelsa is larger than 10 other Nigerian states including LAGOS which is actually the smallest state in Nigeria. Bayelsa is larger than other states not just cause of water body.
Yes, I know Lagos very well cause I have virtually been to every nook and cranny of the state.

You are giving me the impression that you are one of those people that go into town, pick up the loudest noise, add your voice to it to make it louder. And in this case, adding your voice to the ignorant stereotype that people in Bayelsa live ontop of water.

Bayelsa is bigger than all the five states in the South East and Ekiti and Osun States in the South West.
Bayelsa is even bigger than Akwa Ibom that has about 30 Local Government Areas with Bayelsa only given 8
