Sniper12: God punish britain for granting us independence . am beginin to agree with Lord Lugard on this brutal submission
"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future
My dear, I agree with this submission up to 95%. Note where he said '' He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility.'' I have many times noticed this and told my brother, not knowing that there is a submission as this from the colonial masters. It is even more terrible that it cuts across all people, both educated and otherwise, both literate and non literate. We often use our education and the power we acquire to oppress the other person, and that is one of the reasons we are backward. Even many Professors and doctors in university don't know the essence of their position; they mostly pride in their degrees and certificates, while they conduct themselves well in international conferences but return to their home universities to be a terror and even slap undergraduate students without respect. This submission is apt. I am still baffled about our shortsightedness, especially with we educated folks. I still dont know what can be done to make our minds upgraded to see the value of developments that is taking place in other nations. At least we ought to know that nations are moving forward and we must not be left behind.
maklelemakukula: i disagree. She should go to school, read her books, get a degree and end up unemployed like most of us. she must follow us suffer the societal-suffer
Ayiibobo: because been one gives us so many advantage and edge over other nations,..it just so sadening that our people fail to see that and allow the few disadvantage there is to penetrate us as a nation,.......been one is an advantage to the Yoruba because of our accommodating nature,which allows other tribes to invest and generate revenue for us,Yoruba's are basically the cooperate world people, been one is also an advantage to the Igbo,they are adventurous and are basically traders/investors, the Hausa's on the other and are agriculturally strong,and are accommodating,as well which is of another advantage to my Igbo traders/investors,Niger delta is the food of the nation,....I'm a Yoruba man,Igbo are not my enemy,Hausa Fulani are not my enemy,we all have one common enemy,..which is the ruling elite,they are the cause of our problems,..I once said dis and I'm still saying,if mr nnamdi KANU,started his agenda aimed against the ruling elite every reasonable person in the nation would join his cause,if only my people can see the positivity in oneness of Nigeria and aim at making it better,..the most sadening part is this tribalism nonsense is quickly spreading among the youths,we are all humans,we are all Africans,only our language is different,we have intermarried,already this instances are enough to generate a positive ideology to drive this nation forward,.....God bless nigeria
My dear, you are wrong; I myself , I am a yoruba man, but my pain is that we yorubas are very myopic (even most southerners). It may seem that our diversities is an advantage, but you are wrong, if it had been, Nigeria would have been better by now since independence. And please, how many countries that are doing well do you see with diversities such as Nigeria? Even our colonial masters that speak same English language have their differences sorted out with different 4 autonomous governments. We are myopic because we fail to see the truth about the advancement of the 21st century of other countries while still believing we can do it the same way and it will work despite the education we claim to have. We fail to see that it is possible to thrive alone without other tribes; or are there not countries that thrives on tourism alone? Or you want to tell me that Yoruba region has no resources to sustain them. Hausa /Fulanis may not be your enemies because you have not tasted their evil deeds, and I pray may yu not taste it, but those they have caused pains in their massacres across the countries know what sorrow is. Let me tell you, even if elites are still powerful in secession, it will still be easy to reach them in each autonomous region, unlike in Nigeria, that they hide mostly in Abuja where it wont be easy to protest against them. Many of we south westerners dont want to be alone, why? because of oil? what will happen when oil begins to lose value and we cant sell to foreign nations like before due to new technology. I believe you are aware that there are now electric cars, and some european regions will do away with diesel products by 2025. Many of those who dont believe in separate governments like Oduduwa or Biafra etc. will still happily take visa and run away to white man's country at the slightest opportunity; what i am saying is that there is chance for better advancement of each region when we are separate governments. Or if those foreign countries start trouble today, and send all immigrants home, is it not our Africa that we will come back to? You can see that since independence, we havent advanced and yet as an educated person that should be logical, we are saying that is still the best system to use, that is insanity please. If we are autonomous, all those yeye kidnappings and avoidable accidents will be reduced thus preserving more lives. You say Hausa/Fulanis are not enemies, but are they good? Answer me. They are opposed to true restructuring not to talk of secession and you think they wish us well? They always say Nigeria remains indivisible just because of their selfishness, and myopia, or is it right for an hausa man to come and own oil bloc in a different region from his own, while southerners cant boast of owning a country's resource in the northern region? is that fairness? You know the limitation of the black man? It is their lack of vision and narrow heart. If we have large hearts, our song will always be IT IS POSSIBLE. we mostly believe in impossibilities in Nigeria. we believe we cant advance here without the hausas or igbos. We lack common sensical logical reasoning, and that is why we lack vision about the way we have been doing things from the past that doesn't pay. If we even have separate regions, there will still be issues cos of disagreements, not to talk of a country with mixed race, diverse cultures and languages with a good population having no education, mostly with the hearts of beast, that cant even look at the foreign countries and say we can be like them, for they are not better than us. You cant fight the elites with the largeness of whole Nigeria in which people with different hearts are distributed all over the place. Sorry for the long epistle, I still have much to say, but take this home: People in Nigeria will be better off autonomous in restructuring or secession because each region will have less units of sector to contend with. There is no true blessing with people having different aims and goals living together. Remember that anything is possible to those who believe.
Kondomatic: Depends on her privacy settings though and even if he sends a message, it will first appear as a message request which she will need to approve before they can start chatting, if she blocked friends request, she will definitely block chat request..
Or do you expect him to just go to her inbox and say "Hi. I have found 400k job for you?"
She will mark it as spam(scam).
Moreover nah person we em dey feed dey bring mouth.
Lemme Tell You A Similar Story.
A driver once brought a phone for me to buy, a Z10 back then and when I asked him how he got it, he said that it belongs to her sister. then I told him to call the sister to get the security code. It was then that he revealed to me that a passenger forgot it in his car.
On the screen of the phone is a picture of a young lady who is likely to be in her later teens or maybe early twenties and she wrote her name on it.
I told the driver that I will buy the phone if I unlock it successfully, he agreed and gave me two days.
I searched for the lady on Facebook with her name and found her, fortunately she was online.
I sent her messages but she wouldn't reply, though I didn't tell her why because it may not be her.
I inserted my simcard in the phone and luckily data was on, notifications started coming in from whatsapp, email etc. I called a number that was not saved and asked the girl if she knows the phone owner personally.
She say that they're sisters. I was like Bleep, you're sister's and she didn't even save your number?
To avoid sending information to the wrong person, I asked her why her sister's number has not been going through, she said that I should call her Airtel number, the MTN is not going because she forgot it in a car days ago. I collected the Airtel from her and called the phone owner but the Italian princess wouldn't pick.
I let it slide but a part of me wasn't comfortable with giving the back to the driver so I called her once again and luckily she picked.
We talked and I gave her the driver's number in the end. The phone was returned to her.
It was after my call that she then approved my chat request and even sent a friend to me. I think her friend request is still pending on Facebook.
Thumbs up to you bro. you have done yur best, and it is good yu ignored her friend request. I don't know why people especially girls like to behave like retards; obviously, they have picked up wrong formations; person wey never arrive dey form like celebrity. That's why, you may call some people with 5 missed calls or ore, and common sense won't tell them to call back to know the person or ascertain what is happening; negative tin go com happn, ppl go com dey ask dem where dem dey wen phone calls dey enter. Some people are just willingly foolish with I don't care attitude.

Apollux: “Welcome to my sanctum santorum .” The Mole said with both hands stretching out side ways having a silly smile on his rugged face. “You have been busy with serious upgrades. “ Marvel observed taking all in. “ Yeah I had to. My business clientele have increased within the past few months and as you well know I do dabble occasionally into hardware supplies.” The Mole walked to a power seat in front of the table. “And I have to keep my eyes peeled on what is happening in The Pit before the several factions of fraternities, cyber hackers, tech thieves, sewer dogs and all other low lives denizens tear the place apart. “ A half eaten meal of protein wafer, mod grains and half empty neo caf bottle were on the table. “Your coming interrupted my lunch. Take a seat. “ The Mole indicated another chair, while he took the power seat facing the work table. “You look good. So how is the doc these days? “ Marvel was referring to the renegade BioMatrix doctor that patched him up. “Well he is still kicking if that is what you mean, but in hiding, staying in the shadows. BioMatrix is still not finding his running away from them funny. “ The Mole replied as he takes a drink from the bottle. “So I’m keeping him hidden. I still need him. He did a terrific job when he fixed me. But now and again I still need him to put some touches on few bugs that arises occasionally. “ Marvel smirked at him as he sat down.
Hello, are you available for writing jobs...pls, contact me ASAP on whatsapp 08060715059, and let's talk. It is urgent, I want to know your mind concerning a project.
DeGuyNxtDoor: lol my dear, you're funny... I sacked her already tho.
I DONT take advantage of people below my standards.
Did you make many attempt to talk to her as you were advised numerously by people on this thread before taking that step? Or she did another thing? Mind you, she never had fault with you; you are the one people blamed most.
Honeyking: Seriously I don't have any info presently. Am working on getting the truth of what is going on underneath. I will update the house soon and we will all rejoice by God's grace.
Bro. Amen to your prayers...you fit help me get connection for there?
Awoofawo: I was told by someone.........................the reason the west are ignoring that country is because of what I said earlier.
North Korea is not an ordinary country, many don't know the truth of it origin....thus North korea is now considerec rogue nation.......It is brain child of the New World Order proponent/sponsors.
Sometime back read about the country masses made to believe that they actually participated in FIFA world Cup match against South korea and other notable countries of the world.....the margin of scoreline is so huge in favour of North Korean National team..........
pweetyoge: please and please dont quit ur job for any msc. it is true the stress is much. i am currently a masters student at unilag too and mine is a part time and yes the fees are high cus it is Law and i close by 5pm too from work. what i do is follow a colleague than jumping a public transport and it makes me get to school in a favorable time.And the beginning would be very stressful but with time, u get to adjust plus ur class governor gets to fix lecture time in a flexible way. i moved from home which is on the island and got a self con close to unilag gate. thereby, reducing the stress on my own part than dashing back to the island by 8pm. besides, when you start classes and everyone comes in late because they are all coming from work. you will get the picture. plus msc does not guarantee you a job after. pls make a wise decision o.
please, how much did you get that self contained that's close to the gate ...and do you still get money on transport?
openmine: Until we stop all these RIPs and start demanding that the right things must be done,
Until passengers start asking drivers not to over speed just because they want to get to their destination on time,
Until nigerians start using social media as a weapon to voice out their grieviances and displeasures about how they are being ruled by their leaders...,
Until the youths of our failing nation decide to say enough is enough with the daily killings of their fellow youths on our roads....
Until we realize that God is not our servant,and will not help you do what he’s designed and empowered you to do for yourself....
Until we realise all these,We will keep typing RIPs which will do little or nothing to stop these bloody and unavoidable accidents on our roads....
Enough of all these stale RIPs,do something about it....
The choice is Urs....!!
Teach us how to use social media as a weapon to better the country and demand for our rights? people are indeed willing to learn.
