To me, I do not see English fans' reaction as being jealous or hating.

I see it as an issue of patriotism, defending and respecting your country and nationality.

I don't suppose most people here will understand because they have lost that sense of civic and social responsibility.

In Nigeria, a man can betray his father or brother to an outsider to meet his personal gains

When you eventually have children (girls) force them for the rest of their lives to carry their natural hair just to make you feel better about yourself. Okay?

1Alex:
it's like you used my responses instead of the prompt, that's why it's referring to "the verdict" copy my prompt to do your analysis. Use a good prompt to force it to take a position.

SeeWahala:

She is a disgrace to womanhood, how on earth will abort seven children and still expect him to marry you?

Your actions shows how stupid you are.

For the guy, his case is sorry.

Death is the only constant thing in life that equals all human beings.

Tradition that feeds on fear will one day starve on truth because a home that threatens death cannot teach loyalty but fear. As much as I want to be ethical and tell you it's wrong for anyone to cheat, the reality is that life is not fair and we know who is affected the most. Some of these laws were written for inheritance, not for fairness. It's just like someone who says a man should live in his in-laws house when there are proverbs that warn against it. So if that his wife dies, what does her family do the man (widower)? Send him back? Customs and traditions protect the future first, even when the present bleeds. We all want order, that's why they had many of these things as deterrent to prevent people from the disruption of social order.

When a child is born, the mother is known but the father must be proven. Our people were not ready for confusion, no DNA so they came up with another proverb that only a mother knows the father! This is still true today if you watch paternity cases, despite DNA and advancement in tech. The elders punished where they were certain, not where guessing began because lineage fears confusion. Some of the judgment they served then is now called jungle justice. Bear in mind that we have a lot of traditional families and they didn't want a bastaaard to inherit the throne.

There is a popular case on Justice Funmi's show. You now understand why they say only a mother knows the father. If you listened to the woman alone, you would have made your own wrong conclusions and convicted the guy

But when the guy came to give his story, you now understand the wisdom of our fathers that it's only an old foooool who judges by listening to one side alone

I am just trying to remind women that the reality of their promiscuity is more dangerous than the reality for men. Call it unfair but that's the reality.

Have we thought of why parents focus on the girl child more than the boys? The womb is the doorway of ancestry, so it bears the heaviest lock. The best way mothers knew then was fear that's why they said if you slept with a boy you will die

What enters the house through the woman stays for generations. A man’s mistake shames him but a woman’s mistake reshapes the clan. That's why even if a man did OS, by the time he repents, he will find a virgin to marry. Same cannot be said of a woman. Call it double standards but its the reality of life. That's why I said there's ethics, there's reality of the morality and there's understanding of why we do things because....

A man’s doubt sleeps in his mind but a woman’s doubt sleeps in the child.
Everything is just to protect women from giving us children we are not sure who the father is or causing confusion by breaking social order

This guy is talking 100% unadulterated trash. This is not how either reproduction or genetics work in the female human body.

During her husband's presidency (2010–2015), critics frequently accused her of overstepping her constitutional boundaries by trying to dictate political appointments and warring with state governors, notably Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State.

Maybe our people choose to have selective memory. While addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters at a rally in Calabar, she explicitly told the crowd to assault political opponents who campaigned under the slogan of "change". She openly stated, "Anybody that tells you change, stone that person."

In 2012, the Governor of Bayelsa State abruptly appointed her as a Permanent Secretary in the state's civil service. This sparked widespread public outrage, with critics calling it a "national embarrassment" and a textbook example of nepotism, given that she had been away from active civil service for over 13 years.


Buhari's own is recent except people still want to have selective amnesia.

Turai and Stella were silent in their own style but no one can forget the role of Turai when her husband was AWOL. When President Yar'Adua was hospitalized for months in Saudi Arabia between 2009 and 2010, Turai strictly controlled all physical and information access to him. She blocked senior government officials, including the Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan from seeing or speaking to the President.

Why We Seized Turai Yar’adua’s Land - Abuja Minister
https://www.nairaland.com/1278999/why-seized-turais-land-minister#15550811

In 2008, Turai used her position to host a massive high- society fundraiser for her NGO to build an International Cancer Centre in Abuja. Billions of Naira were donated by state governors, wealthy businessmen, and government contractors. Decades later, the project remains a ghost town. The multi-billion-naira facility was abandoned, and hundreds of vehicles and specialized medical equipment bought with public and donated funds were left to rust away. Investigative journalists and government health ministries launched probes into the project, questioning how billions vanished while ordinary Nigerians continued to fly abroad for cancer treatments. In the final days of her husband's administration in 2010, the land was allocated to Turai's NGO, the Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation (WAYEF). Later, the government revoked it, claiming it was public land meant for the African First Ladies Peace Mission. It was subsequently handed over to her successor, Patience Jonathan. Turai sued the sitting government and Patience Jonathan, refusing alternative land offers. In 2013, the court ruled in Turai's favor. The FCT Minister publicly blasted her, accusing her of using her twilight days as First Lady to illegally convert public institutional land for personal NGO use.


The biggest political scandal tied directly to Stella Obasanjo broke in early 2005, regarding the privatization of federal government property in Lagos. An anonymous whistleblower revealed that 207 prime government-owned properties in luxury estates like Ikoyi were being sold quietly at highly reduced, non-market prices to top officials. To the deep embarrassment of President Obasanjo-who had campaigned heavily on an anti-corruption platform-almost the entire Abebe family (Stella's maiden family) was discovered on the list of secret buyers. President Obasanjo was forced to publicly cancel the entire housing deal and summarily fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for mishandling the allocations. Newspaper editors who labeled her "Greedy Stella" over the affair were arrested by state security, causing a massive free-speech outcry.

Unlike previous administrations where the wives of the Vice President and state governors enjoyed prominent public platforms, Stella was heavily criticized for attempting to centralize all female political power in Nigeria under herself. In 2003, she summoned the wives of all 36 state governors to Abuja and explicitly declared, "There is only one First Lady in Nigeria." She banned them from using the title "First Lady" within their respective states, ordering them to restrict themselves to "Wife of the Governor." Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and other civil rights activists fiercely criticized her behavior. Soyinka denounced her as "arrogant" and publicly urged President Obasanjo to restrain his wife's unconstitutional excesses, calling the office of the First Lady an ostentatious, vulgar carry-over from military dictatorship.

Tragically, on October 23, 2005, Stella died at the age of 59 due to severe surgical malpractice. Her death itself became a flashpoint for intense public criticism regarding the elite's behavior. The irony of her death was not lost in sight when it was revealed that she had secretly flown to Marbella, Spain, to undergo an elective cosmetic surgery (liposuction) right before her 60th birthday (Her Spanish surgeon was later convicted of negligent homicide after puncturing her internal organs and leaving her unattended for hours).

The Nigerian public reacted with a mixture of grief and anger. Critics noted the tragic irony that while ordinary Nigerians were suffering under a collapsing national healthcare system, the First Lady flew to an expensive European resort town for an elective aesthetic procedure.

Since Abacha died, we have had a first lady die, a president fall ill, another president fall ill, a president's wife (Aisha) complain about state hospital but the country never learns, it's just one person who takes over after the next and nothing changes.

Please continue to post facts that this olodo uprising will refuse to do a simple google search on their phone and be pushing ideas in their head without verification. You don't even need to be alive at that time but simple search will save you. I am not interested in the women because they are spouses to the person we elected. They have no business with us and while Buhari was criticized for saying his wife belonged to the kitchen and other room, maybe he knew what he meant. If that's the way he wanted his wife to be, who knows her better than he does? Because all the Aso Rock trouble we heard after that was enough to understand the statement. Anyway, there is no office of the first lady and we need to stop indulging them. It's corruption and no one will want to touch the President's wife but we must give commendation to Obasanjo for how he handled the Ikoyi houses allocation scandal. When the whistleblower leaked the list of secret buyers, revealing that almost the entire Abebe family (his wife Stella's relatives) had been allocated prime government property at heavily discounted prices, Obasanjo did not attempt a cover-up. Despite the immense pressure it put on his marriage, he immediately canceled the entire luxury housing deal. To prove his anti-corruption drive wasn't just rhetoric, Obasanjo immediately fired his Minister of Housing, Mobolaji Osomo, for allowing the non-transparent, nepotistic allocation process to happen in the first place. He made it clear that nobody-regardless of their connections to the First Lady was above the law.


Again, I want that office removed although it does not exist because we feed it oxygen. I can commend all the first ladies for their NGOs and empowerment schemes but I also consider those things as conduit pipe to siphon state money indirectly. They can be an interference to the Ministry of Women's affairs. IYKYK

I keep wondering why it's hard for a normal decent person to make it in Nigeria

You must be abnormally dangerous and a crook to make it big

A senior INEC official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to comment publicly, said the affected parties are the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction led by Nyesom Wike, and the Labour Party (LP) faction led by Nenadi Usman.

You had 4 years to that. Please move so someone else can do it

jojothaiv:
It's like irrationality run inside the blood of some football followers once event on the pitch don't go as wish. And this are the problems some of us keep talking about, some humans are too emotional and sentimental about certain things particularly football fandom.

I'm glad I've move past any form of emotional attachment to any football team or players, doesn't matter who you are or whatever is at stake.

Borrow2222:
Just take a look at what the APC has reduced governance to.

The government is no longer discussing ways to tackle inflation and insecurity ravaging the whole country.

APC lackeys, are discussing and gossiping about irrelevant issues.

Honestly, Nigeria has hit rock bottom.

What a shame.

Lol all i see is desperation else na your father supposed talk this

A tyrant is an absolute ruler or any person who wields unlimited power unrestrained by law. They typically govern—or exercise authority—harshly, oppressively, and with cruelty over their subjects or subordinates
