FamilyRe: Women Divorcee Club Welcomes A New Divorcee With A Party by shortgun(m): 4:45pm On May 15
Men in relationship and marriage have a lot of work to do on the psychology of their women.
Men who assume their women will always act like responsible adults and make wise decisions often end up learning difficult lessons.

HealthRe: When Did Comment Sections Become Clinics? by shortgun(m): 11:36am On May 15
OP, don’t joke with the power of the comment section on any social media platform. See it as free brainstorming, where people from different walks of life come together to discuss a problem.

Yes it can be chaotic, but if you’re a critical thinker it’s easy to filter out the irrelevant opinions and pick out valuable insights.
You think doctors are not on the comment section?

The things some of us men say with our mouths. I really understand why women fear us. I don’t have anything to say other than someday may your 14 year suffer the same fact and someone else comes online to say she not even a virgin.
For the fact that the girl is not a virgin at 14 and was already sleeping with men before meeting the pastor shows she was raised in a dysfunctional family.

If I say that your daughter would experience this same thing, won't it be like making an innocent suffer what she knows nothing about due to the idiocy of her father?

Should I pray for it to happen to you?

Sometimes, Nigerian men should engage their thinking faculties before speaking out.
Oga shut it.
A14 year old girl that is not a virgin clearly shows failed parenting.
Instead for me to raise a girl child that would be sleeping with different men at 14 I'll rather not bring children to this world. Nonsense angry

In 2018, Kenneth Okonkwo was an aspirant for Enugu Governorship.
Kenneth Okonkwo was never an aspirant. He did not buy the APC governorship nomination and expression of interest forms for the Enugu governorship race. He claimed he missed the deadline while seeking a waiver from the party....he wanted the form to given to him for free.

To be recognized as an aspirant, you must buy form ooh

PoliticsRe: Unacceptable! — Peter Obi Blasts EFCC For Throwing Tear Gas In Uyo Hospital by shortgun(op): 7:52am On May 15
Peter Obi will stop all these nonsense and I also trust NMA to retaliate quietly but effectively.

There was a time police officers treated a doctor in a similar manner and hospitals were directed not to treat police officers or their relatives. The retaliation was so effective that the police eventually came begging and promised never to harass doctors again. I can see history repeating itself..
PoliticsUnacceptable! — Peter Obi Blasts EFCC For Throwing Tear Gas In Uyo Hospital by shortgun(op): 10:55pm On May 14
Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act.

I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee.

While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling.


Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital.

I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development?


We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State.

Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

EducationRe: Postgraduate Degrees And The Warped Mentality Of Nigerian Graduates by shortgun(m): 9:28pm On May 12
You are missing the whole point.
Employers in Nigeria often require mix expectations.... they want degree credentials, technical certifications and demonstrable skills at the same time.

Many entry-level roles in banking, telecoms, oil and gas and even public sector jobs still require at least a Bachelor’s degree as a baseline regardless of whether the role is practical or not. On top of that, additional certifications like ICAN (accounting), COREN (engineering), PMP (project management), IT certifications, or professional diplomas often matter more for employability than the academic distinction between university and polytechnic.
In fact, in many sectors in Nigeria, a Master’s degree is not about deep research at all it is often used as
an added advantage in saturated job markets
a requirement for promotion in public service and academia
a bridge into specialised field.


Your claim that Master’s or PhD holders are unemployable because they lacked intelligence or perseverance clearly shows your ignorance. Unemployment in Nigeria is not primarily a reflection of academic capability, it is driven by labour market absorption capacity, economic cycles, nepotism networks and sectoral mismatch. There are many highly competent graduates across all levels who remain underemployed simply because the system does not generate enough quality jobs.

Same Nigerian graduates excel in different parts of the world.

BusinessRe: Has A Bank Ever Rejected Your Small Business Loan Application? by shortgun(m): 9:31am On May 12
nedekid:
Can you blame them? When the average Nigerian wants loan, they are meek, humble when seeking the loan, but when it comes to making payments they become bold like lions, they know the best lawyers to avoid paying. Making a Nigerian pay loan is like dragging an ekuke to have a bath. You will hear all emotional talk of how their father died or their kid fell ill when it was time to make payment. You heard of the guy VDM spoke about that got loan through the goodwill of his judge friend, time to pay the man started trying to blackmail the lady judge that he will expose that she is the real owner of the money. Vdm got the man's bank statement, the whole money (100m)went on his wife, his girlfriend, phones, bet naija, nairabet etc. This was someone that said he got a fgn contract and needed loan to finance it. All the money gone within 2 months, all that was remaining was like 5k!
See it is not in our nature to pay loan as Nigerians, the average Joe will take sokoloan, fairmoney, opay etc, chop the money and come on this forum to claim loan app is disturbing him, and he will get plenty of support from fellow onigbese. The fastest way to make enemies with your siblings or close friends is to lend them money how much more a bank you have no emotional attachment to.
Your comment is exactly the kind of mindset that is killing entrepreneurship and business growth in Nigeria.
Imagine generalizing over 200 million people and boldly saying “it is not in our nature as Nigerians to pay loans.” Where did you get this statistics from?
What you said is nothing but bitterness mixed with stereotypes.

The truth is simple, Nigerian banks are extremely reluctant to support small and medium businesses unless you already have money, connections or heavy collateral.
Many account officers disappear immediately loan is mentioned because they already assume the average person is not worth the stress. That was the exact point I was making.


Banks love rich customers, not struggling entrepreneurs. They still give the loans to fat bank account holders who still default.

The moment my account balance grew elsewhere and my business starts succeeding without them, suddenly they began calling, checking up on me and offering products. Is that not an irony?
What many bankers in Nigeria do is to approve loans only to themselves or cronies.


Yes some people misuse loans. That happens everywhere in the world, not only in Nigeria. There are Americans, Europeans, Asians and Africans who default on loans daily.
But reducing an entire country to onigbese behavior is dishonest and intellectually lazy.

The funny thing is that these same banks themselves write off billions in insider loans owed by politically connected people but become ruthlessly aggressive when chasing ordinary Nigerians over small business loans. So spare us the moral lecture.


Today many Nigerian businesses have developed alternative financing ecosystems outside the traditional banking sector.
Banks are supposed to be central to capital allocation and business expansion. However, when financial institutions become structurally detached from productive sectors of the economy, businesses naturally adapt by building parallel survival mechanisms outside the formal credit system.

Nigerian banks will eventually face institutional decline within the business lifecycle framework. Like firms in the maturity-to decline phase, institutions that fail to innovate, efficiently allocate capital or maintain relevance to emerging economic actors will die off naturally.
I can tell you for free that the banking sector has become irrelevant in this economy where businesses increasingly have learned to survive and scale without them
