After allegedly, the second most abused word by Nigerians is queen.

almarthins:
Islamist, no wonder he is quiet about the killing.

Data does not lie. Educate yourself.

Allegedly booed?

That word is the most abused word used by Nigerians. Nigerians use it to the extent that they can lie and blame it on allegedly.

I always stand for truth whether it favours me or not

Please let's hear word. Trump is the first US president to break the social media protocol and phone use guidelines. Before him, Obama could not do some things on his Blackberry. It's to make sure that there is proper review before the president does anything in his communications. Trump doesn't want to be controlled. He prefers to do his own thing. This is the same man who read out Rubio's secret note at a press conference. Better find another story.

Okay, congrats on your achievement. Time changes yesterday.

Go and see a ENT specialist in the General Hospital where you live. Nairaland.com will not solve the problem for you.

No wonder Guardiola said he won't keep quiet because the silence of the world is hypocritical. Dem Don tell am to focus on football but when it is time to show their pride, football is love 🤡

People die for Kwara, e no consain my people. The idieeots are busy counting scores over other people they think are their friends or enemies because of religion. Just imagine if Patience Jonathan go attend Prayer Breakfast when people died in Nigeria. See how they mocked her when she said where are our girls and was crying on TV. Wicked souls.

All of you, shame on you. Whether you are a Muslim or Christian. If you cannot see human beings first as humans, don't preach any of your religious beliefs to me. You are all evil
As long as it's them dying, you don't give a damn. Nigerian Muslims support Palestine more than holding their own government to account for Nigerian death. What hypocrisy. Christians support Israeli killing thinking its their biblical brothers. All of una de celebrate death come de tell me say God is forgiving. You stand there in your high pointing at each other, saying these ones are terrorists when you are killing people like chicken in the world. Abeg shift

You don't take over what you own. You take over what does not belong to you. You don’t conquer what is already yours.

No one invades what belongs to them. True ownership needs no force.

Domination begins where belonging ends. Now I understand Seyi's words well even though I don't support all of them for destroying their party in the last election.


What is yours does not need to be taken.

Namibebeer

I don't think you both know the meaning of Namibia.

It is a country in Southwestern Africa that gained independence in 1990, derives its name from the Nama language word Namib, meaning "vast place" or "area where there is nothing". It refers specifically to the Namib Desert, the world's oldest desert which stretches along its entire coastline.

Some are rich.
Some are mere noise makers.

So it was on TV too color me shocked and surprised. Wike has a competitor. We must pay attention to details. Let me leave this thread because they can sponsor their minions for garri money to come and attack online. We see these things every day online but we don't know the cost of poverty. It makes people throw tantrums and attack, attack, attack

We have an oppressive state of mind that believes rather than believing in the power of Ubuntu, it is better to be the surviving frog in the boiling water and show the others that "hey Charlie, I escaped". That's success to some of us. When your id is "bigger than" your ego and superego, you become impulsive and self-gratifying...... It's a form of insecurity and how we look down on others.

One day, we will see the president's password. His other friend showed us a phone call between the two of them. This one published letter. No discretion. No respect for the office. Just grab it, snatch it and publish it. They are so insecure, they just want to show off their closeness to power. UP NEPA

Was it this man that took a front page advert in yesterday's newspapers and published the president's letter for all of us to see personal correspondence

They've brought it here to front page as well. Image laundering but some of us can see through the bluff.

This image captures a moment in 2010 featuring Francis (born 25 February 1975), who later became the Governor of Ebonyi State, with his wife and son. At the time this photo was taken, he was working as a bricklayer in his village.

Francis Nwifuru was elected to the Ebonyi State House of Assembly in 2011, a year after this picture was taken. He served as the Speaker of the House from 2015 to 2023.

In 2023, he was elected as the Governor of Ebonyi State.

I have nothing against him and I am happy for his progress but there's a reason why khaki no be leather, it is called kakistocracy IYKYK.

God bless Delta State

Nigeria ...a now disgraced country ... beggi beggi country....Namibia better pass Nigeria 100%

You don't know history or maybe you have a limited idea of how the world works. I don't like this administration, I am not a fan of grab it, snatch it and those bad values, they don't represent me but you see when it comes to country, it is bigger than anyone of us here. That's why I tell the supporters of the President to understand that country before party. Now if you don't know the history of apartheid and colonialism and how Nigeria fought for these southern African countries I tell you to take some time out to go read history. It's not because of bragging right, it's because while we have our issues I will never trade my freedom for half freedom. Didn't you see how ishowspeed toured Botswana and let you know who the real owners of the resources are? You think Namibia is truly independent? You think Mugabe fought for Zimbabwe for nothing? Aren't you hearing what Musk and his trumpeters are saying about SA? My friend, read well, you'll understand what true freedom means and why when a Nigerian walks on their land, these South Africans don't understand where the confidence comes from. I tell you it comes from INDEPENDENCE. Yes we have our issues but will I trade them for theirs? Never! You better thank your grandfathers for fighting the British and standing up to imperialists in Africa. Them no de sell that Kain gut for market. It's in the DNA. Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬

They're wasting their time if they think this will make Nigeruans angry. Nigerians insult Nigeria more than any of them can

Exactly. As much as I am disappointed in those guys begging for money and call out begging behaviour especially by officials at the airport and everywhere, what worries non-Nigerians is the confidence an average Nigerian has. It's unmistakable, it's undeniable and it's a sign of success. And you know success has enemies. If you doubt me, watch from 1:19:00 when this lady describes Nigerians and she reminds you that Lagos is not Nigeria and non-Nigerians can't understand our vibe. You can't give what you don't have, it's in us.

One more thing is that while Nigerians can overdo, when it comes to competence, we can overdo too. We will call you out if you are faking it and that's a sign of excellence. When you want to keep doing well at what you do. Nigerians keep aiming higher, fight for international relevance and don't just play local. Nigerians are fighting for Grammy wey no be their own. They fight for film festivals that aren't theirs. A sign of greatness is when you don't rest on your oars. I am happy Mo recognized how the world system works and why Nigeria needs to focus on Nigeria and Africa. I miss our thought leaders of the 60s - 70s. Na wetin make Fela reconsider himself in the 70s after going through the American experience and understanding what Pan Africanism means.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG5XVSjFijc

Nigerians who live in Southern Africa can tell you how these people are. See, the world knows that once Nigeria gets its act together, the world will shake because Nigeria ably represents the power/threat of the black man. It's better to leave us confused with maladministration and disorganization. That's why I can't give up on the country. Its current state of affairs is a paradox of some kind because the country with highly intelligent people is being run by cowards and undeserving miscreants. When you are big, you are big, there's no time to be wasting on small issues.

Japan's cherry blossom festival has been cancelled because residents have complained about overcrowding and disrespectful tourists.

The Arakurayama Sengen Park Cherry Blossom Festival first began in April 2016.

The city of Fujiyoshida originally launched the event to drum up publicity and attract more visitors to the area. Since its inception, the festival became a global "Instagram" sensation due to its iconic view of the Chureito Pagoda and Mount Fuji framed by cherry blossoms.

I am just citing this to those who think it's structural things that attract tourists. The festival simply celebrates the arrival of spring and some other countries have also adopted it. Tourism is beyond sites. Just people appreciating a story and you owning the story and they come visit you and your story! People are going to Japan to experience the freaking weather! If they curate the Detty December well, it will be a long lasting festival even though it started few years ago. People want experiences, that's why they travel but you must own your story and not try to be like other people. Be yourself.

God bless you for this comment. Propaganda knows no bounds but they only need to look the mirror to see the 🤡 they made of themselves

Some people even have telephone calls, it's frustrating. I think people don't learn social etiquette before they go out, so the institutions outside now have to teach them how to behave. A sign of maturity is how you regulate your behaviour socially in different environments. Not everything they need to write out for you.

you guys will just be quoting old school quotes, that does not even make sense

she is just a light skin woman, i do not see any beauty

I asked AI to help me give you a response because in Africa, proverbs are considered VIP and a passage to adulthood. The machine was giving me biblical passages until I told it to relax, African proverb na palm oil. Let's go!



Depending on the context, there are several famous proverbs and biblical verses regarding those who "do not understand."

Most Common Sayings
A. The Persian Proverb on Four Types of People: A classic breakdown of knowledge and awareness often attributed to Persian or Arabian wisdom:
“He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool—shun him.”

“He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is simple—teach him.”

“He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep—waken him.”

“He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise—follow him.”

B. Silence and Words: A popular quote (often misattributed to J.R.R. Tolkien or others) states:
“He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.”

C. Biblical Proverbs
The Book of Proverbs frequently contrasts the "wise" with the "foolish" (or "brutish" based on their desire for understanding:
Proverbs 18:2: "A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in expressing his own heart" (or "airing his opinions". This refers to someone more interested in talking than learning.

Proverbs 30:2: "Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man." This is a humble admission by Agur, acknowledging that human wisdom is limited before God.

Proverbs 30:18: "There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I do not understand." This verse highlights the awe-inspiring mysteries of the natural world.

Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." One of the most famous verses, advising against relying solely on human intellect.


I was going to remove the above but I liked them. They had their own wisdom. Now, this is the African response.

In African traditions, especially among the Igbo people of Nigeria, there is a deep cultural belief regarding those who do not understand proverbs.

A. The Most Relevant Proverb
The saying often follows this logic:
"He who does not understand a proverb is like a child who hasn't been born yet."
Meaning: In many African cultures, proverbs are seen as the "palm-oil with which words are eaten" (a famous quote by Chinua Achebe). To miss the meaning of a proverb is to miss the essence of wisdom and social intelligence.

B. Other Related African Sayings
Knowledge of Ancestors: "One who knows no proverbs does not know the ancestors". This emphasizes that proverbs are the vessel for cultural heritage and the wisdom of those who came before.

Ignorance and Perception: "To the one who does not know, a small garden is a forest". This suggests that a lack of understanding makes simple things seem overwhelming or mysterious.

The Fool vs. The Wise: "The wise create proverbs for fools to learn, not to repeat". It cautions against just memorizing words without understanding their deeper application to life.

Limited Vision: "When you show a child the moon, it sees only your finger". This is used for those who lack the maturity or insight to see the "bigger picture" being pointed out.

C. The "Palm-Oil" Metaphor
In Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, proverbs are compared to palm oil because they make "unsavory" or difficult truths easier to "digest". If someone doesn't understand the proverb, they are essentially trying to eat "dry" words, which is seen as a lack of social grace and maturity.

I hope this helps but I can predict a response to which I leave you with the words of Bruce Lee. I see that he too has combined old words in his sayings. Have a nice day my friend

This statement is more ignorant than true. It’s a subjective, dismissive remark using slang and metaphor to ridicule Abati’s romantic choice. You are telling divorcees how to pick leftovers and extract juice. You never see anything for this life. Inexperience clings to rules, experience knows value cannot be timed.

Life will humble you. Just wait your turn.
