OP I respect the time taken to write this indepth analysis.
I must say tho that it's very flawed and far from the truth.
Frankly I Was sure it wasn't the same mayorkun song eleko that you were talking about.
Baba it's a great song under all headings you highlighted.
Great beat, great production, great presentation and timing.. Not much of a TV person so I only saw half the video once...can't judge.

Overall this is a great song: Cool and yes-emotional.

PhonesRe: SONY Xperia Phones Discussion Thread by Ricadob(m): 7:16am On Aug 23, 2015
Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm desperate here.

A few weeks back I ran an update on my Sony Xperia Z3 dual and sometime later I discovered that I can't check my account balance. Whenever I dial any ussd code it appears as if it's trying to connect but doesn't.

I've gone to mtn office to complain but they couldn't help.

I know it's a phone issue because my other sim in the phone has same issue.

Has anyone experienced this?

Please can anyone suggest possible solutions?

Thank you.

PoliticsRe: Stop Appropriating Our Achievements’-pdp Cautions APC by Ricadob(m): 6:25am On Aug 11, 2015
PassingShot:
PDP should realize that with what Nigerians have experienced in less than three months of PMB/VPYO administration, they already wish they had been around long before now.

No matter how loud PDP get, Nigerians have come to appreciate the achievements and direction of the current regime than what PDP achieved in sixteen years. Most Nigerians are now proud to be called Nigerians; proud of their president; proud that corruption is no longer treated with kid gloves; proud that governance is no longer chop-I-chop as was the case when they were there; proud that govt employees now take their job seriously and performing wonders.

Electricity has improved, not because new plants have been built or new officials have been employed BUT just because funds that were previously diverted are now being used to provide gas to the transmission plants. The result is almost 20 hours of electricity per day in many areas.

Refineries are now working, not because new policy has been implemented or major work done, but because the scamming that was engaged in during Jonathan has ceased. The refineries were not as bad as they made Jona believe; but they lied in order that they could continue to short-change Nigeria through subsidy money.

PDP is like an employee who has scored 20% in his appraisal. As if he has not caused enough damage and loss to his employers as a result of expenses incurred on his recruitment, training and development, loss of reputation as a result of his poor performance; he now asks them to appreciate the little he did (20% out of 100%) after being fired.

Who appreciates a failure? Which employer does that my people?
You my dear sir have spoken my mind, eloquently and passionately.

May you live long.

Amen

RomanceRe: My Opinion: We Ladies Should Stop Visiting Guys. RAPE Is Real!!! by Ricadob(m): 4:17am On Aug 10, 2015
It is appalling that a man would forcefully have knowledge of a woman/girl.


I have had the sad privilege of talking to about 4 actual victims of rape, I know of a kind-hearted young lady who was molested by her stepdad in the house as young as the age of 15. Granted she's a pretty girl with pretty features but by her dad?


I DO NOT CONDONE RAPE IN ANY FORM AND UNDER ANY GUISE OR EXCUSE!!!


However, as an activist and with 2 pretty sisters, I give this advice to women all over the world :

Proverbs 4:7 (TLB)
Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do! And with your wisdom, develop common sense and good judgment.


A decent man should have enough control over his spirit to ignore 'improper' dressing by a girl or even go the extra distance of asking that he and the visiting girl go sit outside if he's not 'comfortable' with looking at her the way she's dressed. BUT let's face it, in this present age, few men can do that. My advice then to the ladies first is:

1. IF ITS NOT TOTALLY NECESSARY, DON'T GO TO A MAN'S HOUSE!!!

Be he brother John or brother Sam or alfa sule, shady cousins and even uncles (Yes I mean it sad ) ; If there's no genuine reason to go to his house, don't go. Chances are, if you don't go to his house, he can't rape you. (that of course is apart from those really sad cases of relatives perpetuating the devilish act)

2. Make your intentions /stand very obvious from the get go.

Men are different from women. A guy might consider the fact that you're going to his house to mean you want him. Not all men think this way but some do, so it's good you let him know what kind of visit it is and act accordingly. I had a female cook some years back as an unmarried man and I know how that ended angry
Not forming holy here but just stick to what you went for.

3, An igala saying goes like this "If you don't like vultures, don't put its feather in your cap"

I know some ladies would not like this one but it's the truth:
Please try to dress decently. I'm a guy not a perv but I assure you most guys would rather fantasise about Beyonce instead of Jannelle Monae (Great girl by the way) or Victoria kimani instead of Asa.. That of course doesn't mean Beyonce or Kimani deserve to be raped but I doubt you have the kind of protocol and security they have.I hope you get my analogy.

This is not to say that decently dressed girls don't get their share of gazes and advances but at least they can't be labelled 'asking for it'.
I've heard ladies say "I'm a sexy young woman and i can wear whatever I like, it's my body"......
True it's your body but ask victims of rape, it won't be your body when some guy has you pinned to the wall and effortlessly raises your short gown ( Sorry about the graphic picture).
Conclusion: DRESS DECENTLY

4. I was reading a post where a girl said "If a guy wants to spend for me that's his business, I didn't force him to so he can't force me to have sex with him"

Sigh. Ladies, if a man works all month and gets his 80k salary and spends 30k on you monthly while you're not his wife or girlfriend it might not be as innocent as you thought.

Now, men, I don't believe if you spend on a girl she has to sleep with you.

Some guys can spend without asking for anything but not all men will. So if you don't want him sitting unnecessarily close to you or any other form of harassment, a good 'no thank you' to suspicious gifts and outings will come in handy
Point: Don't collect unnecessary gifts


Above all, while it is true that family members and relatives can be predators, I think as a lady, if you've 'almost' been raped thrice, you should consider changing your circle of friends or have a look at something you might want to do differently.

I'm not referring to the unfortunate instances of child abuse but as a grown lady something has to be wrong.

Sorry to sound rude but there are lots of pretty ladies with seductive features that go through life without as much as one 'almost rape' scenario.

WISDOM IS KEY smiley

FamilyRe: Can't We Just Get Married Without Involving Families? by Ricadob(m): 9:47am On Aug 07, 2015
naijadeyhia:
I remember the Bible declaring that "for this cause shall a man (male and female) leave his fathers house and be joined to his wife and both shall become one flesh.

A man is never one flesh with his parents but he becomes one flesh with his wife because that is a bigger priority. If some parents need to be thrown into the mud because of their ideals towards marriage so be it. They did not initiate marriage, God did and we are all beneficiaries of that oncluding them. Same way they had me, I will have my own kids and the circle continues.

Its not about how much they spent on ur education, they chose to do that because u are under their CARE! Same way I will choose to exceed what they did for me with my own kid. Ots all about choices. I appreciate all they did but they cannot and must not hold that against me because they chose to do that and I have also chosen to take care of them wether they want me to or not.

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT CHOICES...THEY MADE THEIRS NOW WE MAKE OURS!

FamilyRe: Can't We Just Get Married Without Involving Families? by Ricadob(m): 5:29pm On Aug 06, 2015
While it indeed is true that families can be overbearing and sometimes difficult especially when it comes to marriage, their importance can't be shoved in the dirt.

As a man who lives with his family for maybe 25 years, receiving both physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment don't you think it's a little brash suddenly deciding to 'shenk' said family because of a gurl you've known maybe 3 - 4 years?

I know love and i understand love.
I also know that sometimes young men and women can make bad decisions.
Getting married is different from getting a haircut - it should not be taken with levity.

You might not need your family when you choose a girlfriend but for someone you intend to spend the next 50 years of your life with?

Personally I won't hold in high regard, a girl who is in a hurry to throw her family in the mud for marriage.

Knowledge is the principal thing.

Make your family see what you see in the girl rather than giving up one for the other.

TravelRe: 10 Reasons Why Lagos Is Better Than Abuja by Ricadob(m): 4:43am On Jul 31, 2015
Sweetlemon:
Abj is not a place for struggling people.

@ post everything is correct expect the transportation. Abuja is way cheaper. Taxis go for less than N500 in abj. But in Lagos the same journey will cost you tripple or more.
I lived in lagos for 20 years before moving to abuja.
Been here now since 2001though my house still in lag so I know a thing or two about both places;

Tons of opportunities abound in abuja.
Once installed windows 7 on 5 pcs and made 200k in less than an hour without hustle ( and I'm not even commercially into IT, was just a side hustle.)
Did same job for someone else at 10k each.

Even the mechanics and carpenters make their bar.

All depends on your sense of discerning, networking and clientele.

As for foodstuffs, enter real markets and get unbelievably cheap stuff. Enter dei dei or suleja if you're from kubwa axis, garki market if you're in central area/garki and my people in nyanya can definitely find their way to the many affordable markets there.

Transport is cheap. Way cheaper than lag.

A good social life both indoor and outdoor abound.

It's true that there's not much of a camaraderie spirit in abuja tho especially in high brow areas. I missed that when I first got here.

THE PROBLEM WITH ABUJA PEOPLE IS THAT A LOT OF THEM PRETEND TO LIVE A LIFE THEY CANT AFFORD.
SHOPPING IN MALLS AND CLUBBING WHERE ORIGIN IS 3500-4000 MEANWHILE THERE ARE PLACES THAT SELL 300 JUST TO IMPRESS GIRLS THAT LIVE IN PLACES THAT EVEN BIKES DONT GO.

Thanks for your mature response sir.

If you look at my previous posts, you'll certainly see I have never insulted Buhari as is commonly practiced. You will also see that I speak good of him where and when necessary.


Talking about northerners not being push overs, I have never and will never underrate northerners. My best friends are northerners. You said you have lived in the north for 15 years but I tell you I have lived almost all my life in the north. You know what that means. Even when I left for university, almost every holiday was spent in the north. I tell you I have friends from almost all the states in the north.



You mentioned people who don't want to see Buhari succeed. I describe such people as primitive and I'm not in such category.


The problem with a lot of Nigerians is that when you criticize a person, you are an enemy. If civilians can be thinking that way, how can we blame military leaders who made life difficult for their critics.
Well I do admit I might have jumped the gun here.

I apologise for the rather sharp tone of my earlier response.
I have never gone through any of your previous posts and shouldn't be in a hurry to label. For that I am truly sorry.

However I do believe that at a volatile period such as this especially with some dim witted people ignorantly fanning to flames civil disputes, the few intellectuals like yourself (you must be considering the construction & content of your initial post and response to mine) must make it a point of duty to not only desist from the wide path that leads to destruction but follow the less trodden and unpopular path of understanding and support for the President, Military and (good) leaders.

Hopefully that will incite in some others the much needed spirit of patriotism we so sorely lack.
People have a way of taking things to the extreme and as soon as one item the president gets wrong is brought to the fore, they jump at it and create an environment that depicts a general feeling of inadequacy from the presidency.

Thank you and God bless.

Long live Nigeria. smiley
PoliticsRe: Dictatorship: How Africans Encourage It by Ricadob(m): 6:45am On Jul 20, 2015
Thank you sir.

You have spoken.

But you have spoken with obvious bias which brings to question your true motive for writing this piece.

Is it for Nigerians to have a sober reflection on their choices or is it to pitch your tent in the already crowded camp of Buhari detractors?

I didn't vote for Buhari but I know that quite an alarming number of Nigerians want to see him fail citing cultural differences with such slurs as 'Daura President , cattle rearer president etc'.

I am not a northerner but I've live with them for 15 years now. As a lagosian by birth and upbringing, it's easy to see why their dress sense, intonation and general mannerisms appear funny but I assure you they're no push overs both mentally and otherwise.

I think it's waaay too early to start crying foul.
I'm not a football fan but if 10 minutes into a game the referee had blown foul every single time your team touched the ball, you'll be vexed.

Let's give the man a chance. He just might surprise us and pull a 007.

histemple:
Generally, we need to be cautious when dealing with people via non visual platforms. It is easier to attribute some of this deplorable tendencies to joblessness but we must understand that most people are just out from the spirit world to destroy as many as possible. The social media was supposed to be a vital tool in sensitising, educating and perhaps entertaining the people but these unscrupulous elements are harping on its usefulness to perpetuate all kinds of vices.
However, if we pay absolute attention to details and meticulously probe their identity and sincerity, we may hardly if ever, become their next victim. Furthermore, we need to be careful with leaving sensitive details such as phone number, FB address etc online. Also, we can make use of the "privacy settings" on these social sites to prevent unauthorised access to our information.
Yesterday, someone sent a FB message to me, requesting friendship and I simply ask the fellow to explain what informed the decision and why? Instead of answering the question, the fellow sent an email address through which we can communicate.
Further investigation revealed that it was a newly opened FB account and so, no pictures or activity log.
Wow. An intellectual piece on nairaland.

This is a load of nonsense coming from the camp of the PDP.
Rather than this failed attempt at patriotism, if the ousted PDP really do have the nation at heart as purported, they should have offered helping hands both to the APC and to the President.

It is sad that even after loosing an election which has been generally termed free and fair, some 'wailing wailers' rather than help move the country forward are looking for how to frustrate and rubbish the efforts of the new government in power.

It is true that there are issues which the APC need to sort out fast but name calling and cheap blackmail is not the way to point it out.
