Been a long time,

CyberG:
Good idea!

The problem like someone pointed out, is that it is not enforceable.
What do you think?

Without wanting to denigrate you, you must be a jingoistic idiot. From the whole shebang its like you are still a stripling. No gainsaying the fact that height can be am advantage but it is tantamount to facetiousness, daftness and baseless pontification to assume that height is everything. And I know that you should you fail to pass a job interview, you would still be taken because of your height. A girl would also leave a promising young man with vision and cling unto you just because of your height?

It was with blithering indignation and consternation that I read the lot of some people that were recently tagged 'persona non grata' simply because they are destitutes, hence their deportation to their various states of origin. All the while I have been trying to comprehend the feasibility of deporting citizens of one sovereign nation from a part of their country to the other.

Inasmuch as street begging is not encouraged and could constitute some nuisance. It is also true that some of these people feign one deformity or the other just to swindle unsuspecting victims of their hard earned cash. I still consider it as an infringement on one of their fundamental human rights as provided in section 41 of the 1999 constitution thus: ''Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throught Nigeria and to recide in any part thereof, and no citizen of Nigeria shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereto or exit therefrom''

Now what if all the elite decide to move to Lagos, would they also be deported like these beggars were?


There is also no gainsaying that such act endangers our much touted national unity.


I garnered last time that Lagos state government would restrain people from wearing bathroom slippers on the road. A totalitarian or fascist state?

From the foregoing, I daresay, though with little prejudice, that the message Fashola is trying to relay is that - if you are not rich, vamoose from Lagos.

Lets put ourselves in their shoes, considering that most of them really do need our help.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Shalom! Tak kia.

Anybody for LAW at UNN or UNIBEN?

MRbrownJAY:
@poster
people go into this line of work for many different reasons BUT if there was no punters (like yourself), therefore no money to be made in prostitution, then many of these gals would simply go and find better things to do with their mind and bodies.

AND EVEN IF YOU WERE NOT A PUNTER, you should have called the police (if you really truly cared) and have this hell place closed and this child arrested and sent back to her parents or a place to try and rehabilitate her damn mind.

so as you can see: YOU are a big part of the problem, whether because you are a punter or simply because you didnt act like any smart person would have.

O yes you have a point. But did you say the police? Without exaggeration, they do come to this brothel, no less than weekly. And in most of the cases they just go in, collect some cash and drinks and vamoose. So you see its Niger for you and I. Finally, am no patroniser to scarlet women o!

In my metropolis, there is this brothel where a girl, who from all indications is no older than fifteen. When I first saw her I thought she just came, maybe to see her sister. But I was wrong. This physically immature lass would pleasurably jump into the hand of any man once he plays his amatory advances well after which she demands her dough. It has been difficult trying to fathom what could have led a girl that is not even old enough to be called a stripling to such degrading activity of selling her body. Sometimes I just feel like being in a position to help.


Some even look kind-hearted and promising. (Don't ask me how I got to know - I I have conferred with some). So my question is 'Is she and other girls there to blame or is it possible that they could have found themselves in a situation beyond their control.


I know you may think that they should have found themselves something better doing, but the fact is that some don't even have the vision and insight and the worst of it is that the society is rather so cruel that they won't want to give you anything you won't be able to reciprocate especially through sex if you are a woman.


Okay , lets hear your methodical opinions. Cheers!

I was astounded and dismayed by the utter perfunctoriness with which our much vaunted 'Leaders of Tomorrow' go about their exams, especially WASSCE. It is a commonplace that exams these days is nothing but a jamboree. A situation where exam questions leak days before the actual slated date for it to be taken is abysmally frustrating. A scenario where answers are dictated to students and in most cases written on the black board all inside the exam hall leaves much to be desired. The nadir of the whole shebang is that the perpetrators of these reprehensible acts are the actual people that ought to have guarded against it. The damage this malaise is doing to our youths is execrable as it is subliminal. It is indubitable that if this is not nipped in the bud it will metamorphose to a melee where trained secretaries cannot differentiate formal letter from informal ones. These kids should also be intimated with the repercussions of the harm they are doing to themselves. It is imperative that concerted efforts be made to put a stop to these before it exacerbates. Shalom!

Abali1:
Hey guys, I do understand that life is hard over there. My point is still that a simple Yes or No could solve all this wahala. From most of the posts here it seems that the problem is trying to please others even when it is difficult for you to do so. Most of you will agree with me that the way some of you guys spend their life saving when on vacation in Naija is the cause of some the pestering.
Ok, am sorry for generalising or saying that the OP is making noise. But I still believe that as a human you cannot satisfy all people, with that in mind why not do what you can and refuse to do more.
Someone said that both of us may buy the same levi jeans but his will be better cos he visit some of the best shops over there. My question to him is; how is he sure that I don’t order my wears from abroad or even visit from time to time.
Please guys learn to give alms (or not give) without letting others know about it. My experience is that whether you help someone or not that person will still survive.
I live my life following the goals I have laid out for myself and not because some Uncles or aunties or relations want to compare me with my mates. I don’t give a damn about whatever standard/goals others have attained (afterall am not exposed to the same experience they have had).

@ABALI, WELDONE, In the book of Genesis, the Lord saw that the contents of man's heart was evil continually and he regretted why he made man. Sometimes we are just unreasonably obtuse. We feign ignorance of what is very clear and perspicuous. We pontificate as though we have never asked anyone of help before.

As for the poster, it is as if he has preconditioned his mind and has concluded on what to do before seeking help.

I was stupefied at some of the rejoinders. Some went to the extent of advising him to cut off all contacts. One even said that he wouldn't help even if the person were on a sick bed. This sort of counsel indubitably must have come from hell. I wonder where our scruples have gone. The bottom line is that life is comparatively difficult especially at these times. What I suppose one should do is to draw a line between 'need and want'. A person asking you to send him a phone worth $700, probably may want it but doesn't need it. The fact that some of us have gone too materialistic and insincere doesn't mean that everyone is like that. We must also know that nobody is immune to deception. That a person you helped called you a fool doesn't mean that you are one. Afterall, didn't you help in the first place because of God?

Finally, whatever you do in this world NEVER you forget your family, especially your immediate one. Because they would be the ones to assist and stand by you should you have any problem in life. when bad friends must have deserted you. Au revoir.

@TPIAH, Zik is to blame simply because the northerners in 1957 wanted to seceed in the pretext that they weren't prepared for independence. Awolowo urged him to allow them do so but he went and liased with them and insisted on One Nigeria just because he had the intention of becoming the prime minister or president.

Honestly, is not that these guys don't deserve decent remuneration but its like they are overpaid and the worst of it is that they don't usually channel these doughs to worthwhile ventures. What do you think?

The whole quagmire and topsy turvy lends credence to Ahmadu Bellos admission that 'Nigeria is a 1914 mistake' From the whole shebang Nigeria was never meant to be, we ought to have parted ways ab initio and thats why I still blame Zik till this day, because if it weren't for his inordinate and selfish ambitions this whole thing wouldn't have happened. May God help us all!

Nowadays, no topic is interesting if it has no connection with sex in particular and relationship at large. Topics are banal and insipid when they don't address one relationship malaise or the other. I have come to understand that without modicum of morals and scruples no relationship can last.  The problem is that we like being unreasonably obtuse. We feign ignorance of that that is crystal clear. At work places, in the market, banks, everywhere, even in the church we are assaulted by indecently exposed bosoms,  unseemly tight fitting and revealing clothes. Since we have resigned to this, how then can your spouse resist these and other amatory advances from the opposite sex if they are morally derelict.  Sometimes our alibi for infidelity is that our spouse has gone rigid, no longer romantic, hygienic  etc. But the granite and indisputable fact is that we have started making comparison, we have started nursing that desire of that man or woman which if we had not been morally bankrupt we would have nipped in the bud, knowing full well that nothing good can come out of it. Relationship even among friends is characterised by tiffs. We must admit that you can't get a person that is without blemish or pristine. Why not ignore that your spouse's seemingly deficiencies and concentrate on the plus sides.  (Am sure they must be good at one thing). So why not get rid of that unholy thought about the oppostie sex since nursing it will endanger your relationship. Or must you pluck every flower because you like it.  Okay, you see a woman you admire, oh! She is heaven and earth, so beauti, ,  she is whatchamacallit' GOSH! Do you want to commit adultery with her! Don't nurse that desire and don't think that such is peculiar to you. (It happens to everbody, In fact I have seen people that ordinarily I would even have taken to bed but how can I cut off my nose to poke my face. No gains) Resist the devil and he will flee. It is only through the grace of God and that is why I said that without being morally scrupulous it will seem intractable.  I ask that the Lord Almighty will make your relationship bliss and joy galore. Amen. Tak kia. Shalom!

In not too distant past my understanding of the phrase "Sense of Humour" has been slightly assaulted. I have noticed the abysmal digression, frustrating facetiousness and outright handling of monumental matters with uncalled levity and laxity under the unholy pretext of having "a sense of humour". People post and create topics with the intention of receiving replies or answers as the case may be, only for them to be bombarded and stacked with uncouth phrases, inanities and faux paxes in the name of "sense of humour" Phrases like " Just pasing, Lol, Wetin and others is now common place in this site. Conclusively, I can't but say that this is the zenith of unseriousness and which in the long run will erode this site of its attractiveness if it is not abated. Please lets be taking topics seriously especially those ones created to elicit answers, information or solutions. Shalom! Tak kia.

MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself,and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. from "Thoughts in Solitude" Thomas Merton.

Lately there have been torrents of inanities being posted on this site in the name of comments and topics. The way they ask popcock questions or create gibberish topics connotes that they are immature. It has been nightmarish trying to squeeze out a modicum of meaning from those facile and shallow rejoinders. It is indubitable that children or without denigration, underaged teens with Nokia N70 or 3110c are the perpetrators of this execrable gaffe and faux paxes. Now that I am bereft of fortitude to bear this pestilential acts by this sites juvenile reprobates and errants, I can't but remonstrate now before it exacerbates. Shalom!

The degree to which our innumerable number of underaged teenagers plunge into their so-called relationship is abysmally frustrating. It is patently clear that everyone now wants to taste the forbidden fruit. These days you see toddlers that should be concerned with monumental matters like their education, making amorous advances to the opposite sex. The society has really nose-dived. This is further exacerbated by the parents indifference in the training of their wards to be responsible citizens. The parents are now engrossed with making money at the expense of their children's proper upbringing. The granite fact is that they will use this money to pay for the problem these ill-bred children will cause them. It is heartrending. Shalom!

Many are canvassing for facebook to be shut down because of its supposed adverse effects. What do you think? http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/shut-down-facebook/

Inasmuch as I appreciate the posters effort to contribute to this community, it will however not stop me from saying that this is ill conceived, thoughtless and inane. Let the whites go to hell with their facile research. We are to intelligent to fall for that their cheap hoax. Peeved.
