I enjoyed your unbiased contribution. I'm for polygamy but if it doesn't work out, I'm equally open to adoption. I have been thinking about the two in recent time. I want kids in my house for as long as I can train and handle them

This is exactly one of the things that I preach. Most of our people simply can't think outside the box.

Adoption is underrated. Most of our people forget that adoption is official and unofficial. My parent's house till today is loaded with children & young adults. We grew up having all sorts of people in the house at one point or the other. When we left, our parents never stopped bringing in one or two to live with them. It's a generational culture.

In my opinion people just have to broaden their minds and horizon.

Stop thinking that your happiness comes from others. Find happiness from within and that's what understanding and embracing solitude is all about. Learn solitude from early days, embrace it and thrive in it.

If you are easily bored then you are not deep enough. Stay still and dig deep or else old age will be tough even if you are surrounded by 20 people. The history of life is loaded with mastery of the art of solitude. It makes everything fun in a quiet way!

You are clearly not from Yoruba land. We don’t call our kings name. We prostrate to them and respect them. And if you are from Yoruba land then you are clearly an Omo ale. It’s only an Omo ale that will use his left hand to describe the house of his father to a stranger.

Well said.

Drforsuiciders:
Anyting that south west torches becomes nonsense.

Nice copy copy comeback attempt

The incoherent bad belle chochocho and victim mentality is always from a tiny part of the country.

Kudos to Dangote. If he decides to do nothing, heaven will not fall.

Kemetian:
THE GIANT OF AFRICA.

We are not called that for no reason...

In fact the entire West Africa owes its stability to Nigeria.

If you visit Sierra Leone or Liberia today as a Nigerian, they literally worship the ground you walk on, due to their memory of how the Nigerian military ended their wars....

God Bless Nigeria! 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬

Nijaforward:
I don’t know why some people will not see that Nigeria is really a disgraced country when people like Reno is appointed to represent the country

What did he do?

2-0

Manchester City capitalizing on Arsenal slip up.

nairalanda1:
But was allegedly denied because tribalism.

Read up your history. Azikiwe was supported to the end by several Yorubas through the crisis. Even his NPP in the 2nd republic was backed by several Yorubas.

Learn to go beyond grandma tales so you can make better judgment. Awolowo's decision is not Yoruba decision, there were other equally strong leaders and they did not always agree.

Stop defending crime suspects simply because they are from your ancestral homeland. They did not commit crime on your behalf and they did not seek your consent before acting. It is morally wrong.

You are a fool. This is exactly why we always tell every ethnic group to stop protecting or defending their own criminals. You shoud address the root not the fallout.

Passively or actively defending a ritualist from Osun, a drug pusher from Anambra or a murderer from Yenagoa is license for a terrorist bandit from Damaturu to get "craftily" endorsed in the name of victimization.

Stop this morally corrupt behavior.

Laple0541:
Reno will be confirmed an ambassador and there is nothing anybody can do. He’s not the first person to have a change of view about someone. And Obi supporters are just pained about the way he keeps exposing Obi.

You are not nice bro - these guys are in pain. Let them vent, Reno is their father

Dalohad:
You are free to hit the books and do some research.

Ok thank you

Chelsea carrying the hope of the entire universe on their neck today is not easy at all. Cmon guys the whole world is behind you

jiggyman:

What exactly is the meaning of "international professor"?

Dalohad:
LOL, I am far younger than Reno. I prolly have more prospect than he does..

1. He can never be an International Professor of Health Science, I am..

2. Even without politics, my business card gets me into offices that you and Reno can only dream of.

3. If I decide to go into active politics, I become an asset to any political party that I join. Reno is already a political baggage, hustling for relevance and pendulating from party to party due to hunger.

4. Reno cannot win a councillorship election in his village. The councillor of my ward is my paternal cousin, sponsored by me and others. He will be next LG Chairman of my Local Govt.

He is right about official salary but has no clue how embassies work if his focus is on money.

Most diplomats, not to talk of Ambassadors, don't spend shishi of their personal money on anything while abroad. Estacode on a single diplomatic visit to another city or concurrent accreditation is more than their monthly official salary and most Ambassadors are always moving for that reason. Any visit to your location by the president or even a minister or governor is goldmine. Consular activities also have some perks here and there.

If you are posted to a country of real economic value, you are surely going to be a partner with some major investors if you succeed in getting them to do business with or in Nigeria. That's why many former Ambassadors are on the board of most foreign investment companies in Nigeria. Only career Ambassadors have limitations with that.

His Excellency, Reno Omokri, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary

RodgersAkpafu:
someone said N700k will give you "good life" in Nigeria

lmaoo

For someone who hardly see steady N200k of his own, N700k a month is huge 😆

Osgilliat:
He sold a house that would have worth 150m in 3 to 5 years for 60m to relocate to UK of all places.
He will soon understand life in UK. Truly, some people are born to suffer.

Who knows.

N60m today was over US$160,000 some years ago as I vividly recall. Today it's just around US$40,000.

Decisions like this are not always about face value of cash. Other factors come into play. Above all, we all have different individual risk appetite.

benardtotti:
Sadly Nigerians are set in their ways , even if you decide to teach people for free how to make these type of investments you listed , they will still choose to japa with that sum of money.

I have a friend who was in Canada, sold his late dads farm assets up to 150m , left his family in Canada, but stayed back in nigeria to build financial assets and keeps shouting how glad he is that he took that decision. The guy is making bank monthly.

There are thousands of Nigerians abroad who are quietly growing their financial portfolio in Nigeria without having to touch it for several years. Nigerians are smarter than kids here think.

The person that sold N60m property may have sold other assets and made some key investments while exploring the abroad option. We may not have the full story.

Very accurate.

Even in the diaspora community in the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland etc, you could see this very clearly.

lagonovo:
Yes, Yorubas are the dons of real and legit business in Nigeria. From Ijebus, to Eko Aketes, to Egbas, to Oyos, to Ijeshas, Ondos, Ogbomosos, Ifes, Aworis, Eguns etc, it's a long history of trade and commerce spanning the coast and hinterland of West Africa and mostly based on integrity and strong values. Effortless trading, no do or die .

Tjra:
Now I see why they envy Yorubas.

No kidding. Yorubas have always been well structured and they are among the civilizations with early departure from the disorderly lifestyle closer to lower animals. They had proper system of leadership and governance, backed by proper military structure.

Too bad a chunk of the newer generation have mixed with the wrong crowd, and are now drifting back to the style of lower animals.

A favorable successor is of utmost importance and priority for Governor Seyi Makinde. Some laudable achievements but hand no clean at all, and Baba don step on too many toes. Even some inner circle guys won't mind him chopping some koboko

LordIsaac:
I've not seen any celebrity using that title in the US. Even some of the people who earned it as academic degrees would implore you to only address them by their names. What do I know sef, one Nijeriya is different.

True, few exceptions but that's the norm in civilized societies.

I know someone that neither got awarded nor earned it. He paid for a fake masters degree transcript from Nigeria and enrolled for a PhD in an online university. After a few months he awarded himself a PhD, and he is addressed as Dr by our gullible people. Made lots of money with scheming and sits with our ministers, governors and kings, and pays for any award that is available and publicised.

chiagozien:
I fine pass you.

Anyway I can help you.

chiagozien:
Are you okay?

I'm very good, thanks for asking. Are you?

Based on his utterances, the undiluted truth is that Nnamdi Kanu does not rate Peter Obi one bit. Peter Obi is well aware of that fact.

stuffs2002:
Peter had the importunity to caution Nnamdi Kanu when he went berserk but he chose to keep quiet and watched Kanu ran amork now that his sins have caught up with him Obi is now taking.


Where was Peter Obi when Kanu was inciting his IPOB people kill security personnel or does Obi think those killed do not have family members that were thrown into deep mourning and suffering
