Parents are living vicariously through their children and it is becoming a menace. It is a lack of identity, a lack of self worth and an abuse on the innocent child who is not allowed to enjoy their childhood or youth with proper adult supervision. Don't take the attention away from the child, let the freaking child play in their own world and environment. Na agbaya de steal the show of pikin, letting these kids face unnecessary humiliation the following week when they have to compare their parents. Damn it! Small time nau, these parents will enter the changing rooms of the kids and we will start complaining about Sexual Abuse. Eediots

The phone is not helping matters but when you see a lot of adult behaviour in Nigeria, you can tell that many of them have unhealed trauma. It's not just a Nigerian thing, I know, but I can tell you that parents today have spent more time condemning their own parents' style of parenting more than they have done in the actual work of parenting their kids. I feel sorry for kids born today because in a few years, many of them will come on the internet and curse their parents for putting their lives on the internet without their permission, from the announcement of pregnancy to livestreaming their birth and opening a social media page for them before they had sense. The phone has really revealed the children in us. There is a time and place for everything.

Why is this man afraid of free and fair elections?

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.


But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.


“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.


Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.


“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.


Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

The best solution is for Jos to be just the one that people like us grew up to know.

I've listened to the governor. Governor, you and I were elected on a promise of peace and prosperity, not to comfort and create widows and widowers. To bring prosperity as a promise, to bring inclusiveness as a government, to share the hope and aspiration of everyone to lead our youths and if they are represented here, let me give this assurance. I don't want to be here commenurating and consoling.

I want to be here to establish peace. leaders who have received us, who had accommodated us politically. I brought the symbol of this cap to break the shackle.

Talmabout sacrifice 🤡

At the rate this parties are going, they will soon start going to Okija Shrine to swear that they won't sabotage their parties.

Hahaha. You are putting your mouth in wetin no consain you.

While last election was "won" by going to court, they have already schemed methods of winning this next one through technicalities. The chairman said something you should pay attention to. Even if ADC wins, we will give the medal to Morocco and take it away from Senegal

Mariangeles:
If it's not generally acceptable, no.

You may like it or not but I would rather a man who marries women in a polygamy than date women in form of a polygamy. What does that mean? If you are a man, marry that girl! Be a man. Your children, feed them. Feed your family. Don't play polygamy games while pretending to be monogamous. Don't be a coward. Many a men, rich men, poor men who live a monogamous life and we find out the side chick and her kids from the will of the lawyer. Cowardice.

Whether society likes it or Mariangeles doesn't it does not matter to me as long as you are a responsible person. Damn what society will say when you have your own home to run. Be a man.

Mariangeles:
That which is approved according to God and man.

Which is monogamy right?
Okay let me concede to you for the sake of arguments. If you grow up in a society where it is polygamy, is that right or wrong? E.g I am a Mormon, I can marry more than 1 wife. Is that right?

Mariangeles:
I'm saying we should do it right, or not do it at all.

What is right?

“Tinubu’s most important duty as President is to drive this country in a revolutionary direction where he, the rest of his colleagues, ministers, and friends will be strangers to the system that they think they brought about, where they think everybody is foolish and in need of handouts."

Mariangeles:
First quote: then save yourself the trouble.

Second quote: you mustn't be a wife.

First quote, are you saying we should not marry at all?

Second quote, I guess you have answered my first question?

nedekid:
Yeah, I feel you. But you see with how things are these days, men now need to come out of the background. Aside just the results you have to show in the sentimental pieces (using your words), don't do it in the background assuming your reward will be in heaven, do it korokoro so the kids will not say tomorrow it was their mummy who sweated for them.

See I have an Indian "uncle", this man took care of his family well, after all the years in naija he returned to India as age came and after all his investments in those kids. Today those kids are all doing well, two are doctors and the others PhDs in their fields over in Canada and the US. Sad to say they have abandoned this man, they only send money to their mother, always flying her to stay with them while baba de India. I did not know it was that bad, not until my bro called from the states that I should help him transfer $1k to that man, I asked why, that was how he started giving me gist of how uncle was suffering. Infact the man said it is as if they are just waiting for him to die, he is on wheel chair living like a poor destitute, just at home, when they wish they give him food all because money no de pocket! Meanwhile this was a big man when he was in naija taking care of his family. It is practically my bro sending money to the man for sustainance from the US. Only God know what the woman said to those kids to poison their mind. Ofcourse when the kids and wife returned to India from naija as they kids grew older, the man was sending money from naija to the wife to take care of the home, pay school fees etc. Those kids now don't feel any attachment to their father just to their mum.

I don't think men need to change their ways, yes I can say they need to start telling their stories. But men are in no competition. Children usually understand the father's love later in life or when he has passed. It's part of life. That's why we say A MAN'S LEGACY

His legacy outlives him, that's why there's no need to argue and men prove their points with results. I just read the life story of a famous star who said while he was trying to handle fame, his mother wanted a bit of it. Instead of her not talking to paparazzi, she was proud to show the media how she took care of him, where he used to have fun as a child and all those things. She wanted the limelight and then he missed his dad who was dead. He felt it, dad was not alive but he knew damn well that dad would have protected him with his actions. A man does not need you to clap for him or recognize him for the good he has done. Have you heard the phrase, "a man does not steal in his own home?" o deep. Men, real men often understand that it is a lonely world for men, so they start preparing in advance and some of them, in their lifetime may never see the child appreciate their efforts but one of the things I see people find out is when they are in their 30s to 40/50s, they know the truth. Why? Because as adults they now understand how the system worked and who was playing a role without making noise about it or asking for recognition.

Men work differently


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7533082065215016223

This is why I laugh at today's women who want to turn men to women by teaching men how to raise children, especially the boy child. Then this same women will come out tomorrow on why our boys are so feminine. Fear women.

Wickedfact:
That man gave you free legal advice that the incompetent lawyers in ADC couldn't give you because many of them are working for the enemies of ADC.

If them born the entire ADC well, let them disregard the warning and proceed. I dare the entire party to try it.

.. Gave me? Why do you think I belong to ADC? Anyway there's no need to reply me. I understand how you view things.

For an umpire to be speaking about a specific party in the game says a lot. This is like a referee in AFCON saying even if DR Congo scores a 100 goals they won't win the cup

Mariangeles:
Peace ke?
The man end up dying before them, then they [the wives] make peace with themselves, and live happily ever after in one another's company.
While they were always fighting when the man was alive o.

It happened so in a polygamous family, in our village.

Imagine a wife becoming a widow, but she's not lonely...

Polygamous men think that they're doing women, but they're actually doing themselves.

Another thing is, most of you that clamour for this polygamous ish never lived through it, otherwise...

They're even a nuisance to those around them, they and their children.

Peace indeed!

Men die before women anyway.

I was thinking about it yesterday. How much do they pay this guy to do this?

Remember, if more money is not enough, more money can buy it/them. That's the era we live in. Many will sell their character for piece of cake. Does this sound familiar to you? Like LP? Poverty is a cancer. Baba, you can't be Awo, just give it time, posterity will remember you.

fuckingAyaya:
Tinubu no rate una at all, if not pressure from the white house the man no send anybody papa if them like make them butcher his people

Interestingly, he's been like this for some time. Some people enjoy being slaves but you can't give what you don't have. Man has always been a boss and acts like it and the people feed it to him.

nedekid:
That is why men should wisen up. Pay the kids school fees yourself do not give madam the money to pay because the kids will say it was mummy that paid my fees. Give them pocket money, run their expenses, take them shopping etc yourself, give them easy and comfortable access to you as the man, not the one that later a child will say you were not there as a father.

I think it's just a man's thing where men don't boast of their achievements. It's their duty to take care of the home. You see how women will tell you that they should be paid for taking care of their own homes and children. Then say men do nothing. Women will remind you of everything, dem no de forget. Things like this no de move man because that's why he is a father. He shows it in the result, not in sentimental pieces of life.

Cancerous describes things that are related to a disease in which abnormal cells grow and spread very quickly. Biopsies are usually done to determine if a suspicious lump or mass is cancerous or not. Differential diagnoses may also be considered, just in case the condition turns out to be less about oncology and more about an overactive horoscope. Further evaluation may be required, especially when the subject insists the findings are artificially generated rather than simply textbook-level obvious. At this stage, no further testing is indicated, the diagnosis is clear, and continued repetition won’t change the underlying condition.

I've just watched the video and not relied on these reports

Transcript of the video

Please be seated. Eh, you have no light at the airport and I have to fly back within the next 10 minutes. To you leaders, I've had this. To the victim, there is nothing I can give you whether money in billions but console you and promise you that this experience will not repeat itself. I take uh for example Favor Roda. I know the pain. I see how on the video you head on to Ayuba and the pain and agony in your heart. But it is only God. It's only God [clears throat] who can give you joy and comfort. No amount of money can pay all of you back. Yes, as government, we will try our best to comfort you, to walk with you. The best solution is for Jos to be just the one that people like us grew up to know.


02:19
Please have your seat. I salute all of you leaders, but I've had the experience of the past. Why is the past not a source of lesson for us? I've listened to Jang. I've listened to Washington. I've listened to Nacho (omo AI Nacho ke , you need to always verify things yourself, that's why I left this bomb in the post, don't depend on people to do everything for you, trust but verify). I've listened to the governor. Governor, you and I were elected on a promise of peace and prosperity, not to comfort and create widows and widowers. To bring prosperity as a promise, to bring inclusiveness as a government, to share the hope and aspiration of everyone to lead our youths and if they are represented here, let me give this assurance. I don't want to be here commenurating and consoling.


04:41
I want to be here to establish peace. leaders who have received us, who had accommodated us politically. I brought the symbol of this cap to break the shackle. Shackle of violence, shackle of ignorance, shackle of poverty, shackle of hopelessness. We must break it together. I thank the men and women of the armed forces particularly the police for what they are doing and what they about to do. You must on earth and find the killers. I'm glad I here. I'm glad COAS is here too. Chief of Army Staff. I'm glad the minister of defense is here. Our dear leaders, I have been to Jos, I have enjoyed Jos in those days of peace.

06:30
We've had our political activities here. I'm glad you are still alive. We thank God for you and many of you. Thank you. I used to point to your house where we spend the night where the leaders both the leaders of our politics, where I was active as a young man. You accommodated us. You open your doors for us. Then why do we build a division? Our promise then was progressive development, improve standard of living for our people. Not to bury but to develop. Immediately we return to Abuja. The committee has mentioned you increased the number of leaders including Natawi, the governor and the minister of humanitarian affairs.


08:01
The minister, thank you. Come see me. Take numeric analysis. You are a data person. For the victims, let's see what we can do for their losses. We cannot replace a human beings. But whatever we do to give them minimum comfort, we will. Thank you Bosani the honorable minister for communication is here to give you assurance we are going to install immediately a network of camera >> [applause] >> That will help the law enforcement agencies to identify the troublemakers instantly. [applause] over 5,000 job network Bosun you can use time and give the assurance because the time is flying, if I keep talking, we will miss our way and you don't have accommodation for us>> [applause] [cheering]

Do I have updated comments? Yes. The first and last part of the report is to create a sensational response. This is why I had to go listen myself just in case they were trying to bait rage even though I no send this President. I have no hope in them, renewed or otherwise.

Now to my analysis, Nigerians are sycophants. People are clapping and laughing when others just lost their lives. People are enamored by the presence of the president that they laughed. Now, these may be rented people (the clappers) or supporters but I didn't know why they clapped. It's a sober session. I have observed this pattern when people in offices talk, Nigerians clap. I call it the sycophanticlap. It's eye service and we know about it. What else? The president was in a hurry but the first and last sentence can be used against him. Jos has no accommodation for the President? I beg to differ.

His speech wasn't as bad as it was reported but I still see insensitivity in it. I don't know who his advisers were but I can see other videos of the President in Lagos, which means Lagos was more important for him to be in than Jos. I also remember Bayo Onanuga had released a statement earlier in the day that the president had to abort his trip to Ogun State for this. That one too sounded like Tinubu was doing Plateau a favor by visiting them. Post event analysts will say that he could have said things better. That closing line is not appropriate and we play too much in this country. Someone on the comment section said this was how he promised in a previous incident that never again will this happen but it will still happen again

The president was also pointing to his cap as a symbol of breaking the shackle. Omo! I have no comment.

Imagine if the president canceled his other trips to spend time with people of Jos in this period, at least for Good Friday If Jos used to welcome him in the past, what happened to the present?
"We've had our political activities here. I'm glad you are still alive. We thank God for you and many of you. Thank you. I used to point to your house where we spend the night where the leaders both the leaders of our politics, where I was active as a young man. You accommodated us. You open your doors for us. Then why do we build a division?"

Those who play politics with everything, hmmm may you not lose your loved ones like the people of Jos did. Then you will be more reasonable with your response and not careless. That laughter at the end was evil to me. Very insensitive of our people. Very very insensitive to those who were there.

I know you can never satisfy we human beings but why do I post this? Because APC also lambasted the President in 2013 for traveling to Brazil when the country was burning. They pressed Jonathan's button so tey Jonathan went to Borno to motivate our Army. Alas, now they are in power and can't practise what they preach.
