Family / Re: She Threaten 2 Divorce Me If I Dont Dissociate Myself From My Best Friend. by seyi42k(m): 11:03am On Apr 07, 2013 |
shooze: With all due respect zeefa I think you are suffering from diarreha of the mouth. With all due respect, are you the standard by which the whole world should measure? Are there not worse crime against marriage than talking to a friend? The internet has granted a lot of us anonymity, therefore if he has sought advise on the internet, you should not be harassing him. Kindly listen to "sharing life issues with Charles B" on inspiration FM everyday to hear worse expo-see. If a lady has decide to threaten her husband with divorce just to press home a demand, then she will likely use that same weapon again like ladies are capable of doing. The OP has probably now understood that his close relationship with his friend is threatening his marriage but he is also afraid of losing such friendship and his wife seems possessive of their relationship. Well, God will grant him the wisdom and understanding to solve his problem but please stop berating people for such post. A lot of other people,, who might not have courage to post on the internet, learn lessons from them. 1 Like |

I have a lot of self righteous ladies dishing out advice. I have a boss who does exactly the same thing. He talks to his friend in the UK more than 2 hours daily. You know what, when he resigned from the bank. It was this same friend who gave him 25% of the company he floated in Nigeria so that he can manage it and it has been wonderful so far. For those wondering what a man discusses with another for over 2 hours, it shows you lack depth of thought. I have a friend and I discuss topics ranging from Nigerian politics, the west and Africa, the black man etc, i.e. philosophical discussions. We discuss till the phones gets hot. If you are philosophical and analytical, you will always find something to talk about. I believe the OP does not get this depth of discussions with his wife and therefore still talks to his friend. I advise the OP to start intellectual discussions with his wife, however I have discovered that most ladies discuss the superficial; latest fashion? hottest gossip? reality tv? kim kardashian? and all such flavours. Hardly will they seat down to discuss question to do with the origin of the black man and his impact in the world today. No, it is too philosophical and unexciting. It does not make their blood rush. Lastly, OP should reduce daily calls to weekly, weekly to monthly and so on to let peace reign. However, point this out and do not let her believe her threat of divorce worked or else she is going to do it again. This kinds of threats work abroad because western laws are overly sympathetic to women. May God grant you wisdom to solve this challenge. Amen 2 Likes |

Rossikk: Stop been disingenious. Kindly read "From Third World to First by Lew Kuan Yew". Your assertion is wrong and picky just to support your line of argument. Yew showed a level of leadership that was instrumental in transforming Singapore. You seem intelligent but your arguments are those of people paid to defend the government on online forums. You remind me of the sons of the prophet who slapped Jeremiah in the Bible when he made a prophecy that the Kings and his cohorts did not want to hear (1 Kings 22). You should read it, it might show you where your false brilliance will land you and the likes of you in this country. |
Politics / Re: Third Mainland Bridge Is Vibrating by seyi42k(m): 11:27am On Mar 13, 2013 |
I have a lot of friends and colleagues who have complained about the same thing. For those harassing the OP, they should consider that people do not complain about the Carter bridge or any other major bridge in Lagos. We are used to procrastinating in this part of the world until something bad happens. Look at our roads, rail lines (infact a friend spent 5 hours to Ibadan on Saturday) and even airport. Stop using the principle of expansion and contraction to befuddle logic. A bridge should not vibrate to such an extent as should be noticed. |
Islam for Muslims / Re: Muslim Students Protest Discrimination Against Hijab In Lagos by seyi42k(m): 12:49pm On Mar 01, 2013 |
aurenflani: It also says a woman has hair as a covering for her head. Therefore, if you are blessed with a lot of hair, covering your HEAD is not necessary. However, like everything human, we tend to interpret things in our own ways and that is why there is no hard and fast rule about it. If you like, cover the hair, if you don't like don't cover. This is why Christianity lends itself to liberalism of faith, i.e. you and God. 3 Likes |
Islam for Muslims / Re: Muslim Students Protest Discrimination Against Hijab In Lagos by seyi42k(m): 12:27am On Mar 01, 2013 |
I have a problem with Muslims always playing the victim. In all countries of the world, they seek to subjugate the laws of the land to their desires. They are always tolerated because of their aggressive streak still they push past their boundaries. In all my years of posting on Nairaland including controversial christian threads, I have never come across a warning like this "To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam". Are we now supposed to be afraid to post on Nairaland so that we will not hurt the feelings of our Muslim brothers. Go to the atheist threads in the religion section and see how Christianity is being vilified. You can hardly have a decent open minded discussion with a Muslim without having to deal with sarcasm, aggression, and in some cases violence. I know because I lived in a house built by a Muslim. While this is not an ideal deduction, we can see what is happening world wide. For those citing UK as an example, let me tell you that they are suffering from extreme form of political correctness and that was why they have allowed same sex marriages. I hope that when the time comes they will debate allowing mosque to wed gays just as they are debating on churches. They will tell you the west is the problem of the world, still they will run to the west to give birth to their children. Still it is the technology of the west that is powering their countries. Anyway, as for the hijab issue, I hope the Lagos state government will wisely stay out of it. If it makes a formal declaration allowing it, it should be ready for lawyers who will test the extent of such. Remember that their are a lot of Ifa, Sango and Oranmiyan followers in these schools and they have a religious dress code too, e.g Male Sango worshippers plait their hairs. What will happen when boys start wearing cowries to school? What will happen when horns are being hung on their necks? When of animal skins? Lastly, let us hear what the Bible had to say about Ishmeal...Genesis 16 : 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him;. Remember, it is his hand first against every man before they also turn their hands against him. At that point, they play the victim. 4 Likes |
Celebrities / Re: Lest We Immortalize Nuisance …the “goldie” Situation. by seyi42k(m): 12:50pm On Feb 21, 2013 |
This reminds me of Da grin's death. So many things were said about the state of our medicare, disaster response and roads but little or nothing was said about the lifestyle that allowed Da grin to drive drunk. Infact several of his contemporaries came together to dedicate a song to him. While the OP could have toned down his post, most of what he said was right. Saying that the bible has predicted that the human race will go after baser/immoral desires in place of natural ones. My own advice for all of us is that we should take care of ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually so that we do not all die untimely deaths. For example, when last did you do a total medical check up. 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: 'The Economist' Testimony On Nigeria's New Trains by seyi42k(m): 6:45pm On Feb 11, 2013 |
This article is been eulogised now, I hope tomorrow when this same outfit brings up another unfavourable report you people will not turn back on them and start saying western agenda. A Nigerian travelled from Kano to Lagos with horrible experiences and even interviewed other passengers and also took pictures. People are castigating him for telling us his experience and for saying it as he saw it. They are telling him to rejoice that he was even able to take a train at all. Well, why won't we tell him to rejoice, after all our nation has been trying to produce 6,000 mw of electricity, that Heathrow airport uses daily, all these years without much success after sinking billions of dollars. Our collective psyche has been bullied into submission and that is why we will continue to manage and hail mediocrity. It was when my well-travelled bosses told me that Khartoum in Sudan (a desert mind you & at war) is far ahead of any city in Nigeria, that is when I knew we have celebrated this mediocrity for too long. 2 Likes |

Sports / Re: Burkina Faso To Appeal Red Card ,Tunisian Ref Suspended by seyi42k(m): 6:43pm On Feb 07, 2013 |
Don't mind CAF. They probably masterminded it. Think about it for once, which is a bigger final Ghana vs Nigeria or Burkina Faso vs Nigeria. Remember that Referee in Ghana-Nigeria 2000 or the ones that cheated us especially against Cameroon. What happened to them afterwards? Nothing. CAF probably wanted Ghana in the Final to create a bigger spectacle and also cheat Nigeria by giving the cup to Ghana. Think about it for a moment, we are the largest market in Africa, yet we refused to pay a 'paltry' $4.5m. They will not be happy as we are going to collect prize money without having contributed any. If Ghana had qualified for the final, they would have won it, not because they will play better, but because CAF will want to 'deal' with us for not coughing up money. Let me say that Nigeria is in for a rude shock in the Finals. Don't be surprised if CAF engineers the match for Burkina Faso, then later suspends the referee by which time the deed will have been done. They almost succeeded in eliminating Burkina Faso, Nigeria should therefore be very careful. 9 Likes |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Video Of French Air Strike In Mali by seyi42k(m): 10:46pm On Jan 15, 2013 |
I said it in another thread, some Nigerian youths are intellectually bankrupt. Can we debate logically please. Why are do we always point to the west or china or russia when we create problems for ourselves. Islamic militiants taking over Mali will certainly turn Africa to another middle east. Was it not until France stepped in that the AU/Ecowas woke up. It is now we know that Mali has oil. What is the Nigerian government doing about Boko Haram which is fast becoming a malignant tumor. One more thing, no body is altruistic when there interest is at stake. It was only Nigeria under Obasanjo that gifted Bakassi to Cameroon while Britain is still sitting on Falkand islands, Spain is fighting over Gibraltar (a small rocky island) with Morocco, China and Japan are fighting over an island etc. So, Let African leaders stop playing the victim and start working towards the emancipation of the continent. Look at Nigeria now top on piracy and kidnapping index in just 3-4 years of starting the inglorious industry. We have not seen anything. The first world is coming back to redivide Africa. Just imagine how we think on the continent. Even Issa Hayatou, an ordinary football president does not want to leave an office and still African football is worse than ever. Well, God save this continent. PS: Can some of you stop typing in uppercase. |
Politics / Re: Pastors Encouraging Corruption- Tunde Bakare by seyi42k(m): 6:30pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
beautiful Onyi: Thank you. In fact, politics has always been borne out of a form a religious fervor/ideology which is worshiped. That is why manipulative office holders always allude to a greater purpose/power than they to carry out an agenda. - The Monarchy in England had the church - The Sultan in Northern Nigeria had islam - The yorubas had Ifa. - The Mayans had their priest - The For the germans had Nazism (yes it had all connotations of a religion) - The chinese, the indians, the Mohammedans....etc In fact, if you read the bible when Nebuchadnezzar had the dream of the statue, you will see that God has always taken interest in the affairs of man. Even Jonathan goes to receive anointing in a church. Do you know why? Religion always lends legitimacy to the government of the day in all spheres of human existence be it the Ottoman empire or the Oyo empire. Lastly, going through the debate on this thread has shown me that Nigeria has a long way to go. Not only in terms of the real development but also in terms human capacity development. If this is how we the young people are discussing the politics of the day, no wonder the government put an old man as minister of youth. I mean, how can someone be asking about verses from the bible to buttress a flawed point. We need intellectual awakening as youths of this country, or else our anticipated emancipation will be a dream. Please read some quotes below "If Jesus had preached the same message that most pastors preach today, He never would've been crucified." "Today’s church wants to be raptured from responsibility." "The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising." - Leonard Ravenhill Thank you |

Music/Radio / Re: Nigerian Music Of Today Is An Aberration by seyi42k(m): 7:35pm On Nov 28, 2012 |
Unknown Member: You are employing sophism in you arguement. I grew up listening to classical music and my church (Apostolic Faith) has a choir and orchestra with at least 100 members playing different instruments every sunday. I can assure you that music has a message. Have you ever watched a documentary of fans attending a rock concert? Have you analysed their effect on your brain? Do you know music carry subliminal messages that directly affect our moods? Do you know you can have an idea of who a person by the kind of music they listen to the most? Now, I am not saying one cannot appreciate or listen to other kinds of music once in a while, however the music you hold dear to you heart says a lot about you. - People with suicidal or rebellious tendencies gravitate to rap or rock or heavy metal. - People with high level of sophistication ( real or feigned) gravitate towards jazz or classicals or blues/soul - People with romantic tendencies gravitate towards R&B. - A Nigerian Activist will probably love Fela's music e.t.c I know these are generalizations that may not hold true in all situations but believe me, if you really want to know the kind of person you are or you may become, analyse the music that you appreciate. You will be surprised. |

The report below is a protest in the UK on increase in transportation by 6%. This is to show our educated but illiterate brothers both in Diaspora and at home who are insinuating that because UK system works that they swallow all of their govt policy. If a whole UK is angry over a 6% increase in transportation, which by the way Nigerians would die for, how can a confused person come hear to say Nigerians are moaning over Fuel price hike. Rail passengers threaten fare protests |
Politics / Re: Stop Moaning... Petrol Is 326.21 Naira a litre in the UK! by seyi42k(m): 9:26pm On Jan 02, 2012 |
I am appalled by the utter crap our "brothers" in diaspora are uttering. Do you know that as of this moment, Enugu to Lagos is 17k from about 5k. Do you also know that Personal Income Tax has been reviewed and a lot of allowances are now taxable. Do you know that transportation zero in this country.Where is the N100B Textile funds. Do you know that the same Oligarchs or CABAL as the case may be can determine the price of PMS amongst themselves. Anybody thinking that competition will reduce the price of fuel should stop dreaming. They should look at the Cement sector for a classic case where Dangote reigns supreme. While understand the logic of waste reduction, the question that comes to mind is why the cost of governance in Nigeria is the highest in the world and why has govt not shown that it is ready to tackle waste by reducing the remuneration of public office holders. I am also disappointed that some of you are laughing at our expense and mocking our situation. If you were that patriotic, you guys should start the protest from your various location instead of been self righteous. You guys are enjoying the labours of citizens of other countries and you are now prescribing solutions from afar. Nb: As for posters complaining about this thread making the front page. Please note that Nairaland is now all about sensationalism, the more the controversy, the better the page rank. It is a classic ploy used by online English taboids. That s why all sort of crappy topics get to the front page. |

Please do not send him abroad, A once heard an adage that said "a Lizard in Nigeria cannot become an Crocodile Abroad". You can push him into IT. Take him to colleges such as NIIT, APTECH, NEW HORIZON, FIRST LOGIC who can teach to get certifications in programs and applications such as MAYA, ORACLE, AUTOCAD, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, LINUX, WINDOWS etc. Infact, if you know the opportunities that bound in IT, you will not fret. Basically, just make sure he is ready to buckle down and once you are sure, send him to an IT school to do a program in line with his skills. If he loves mathematics, he could do Java or if creative, he could go for Maya or if he loves shapes and angles, he could go for AUTOCAD or data management, he could go for Oracle. The topping is that this colleges have links to universities abroad where he can get a Bsc after getting his certification and submitting a project. It is even possible for him to start earning money before his other colleagues in school. Afterall, Steve Jobs dropped out. However, ensure he is not a layabout so that your efforts are not in vain.

Basildon1:Regardless of the society, we NIGERIANS have shown our true colours. I can understand the shock of a new society, but true love for your neighbour knows no society. This is also to tell Nigerians that the grass is not greener on the other side. However, anybody who is been accommodated in a new environment should ask for ground rules and should be perceptive because a lot of people are finding it hard in some of these countries. Therefore, both the person accommodating and been accommodated should show love to each other. |
