Basic123:You are the one making a big deal out of it. Is my post true? Is it factual? Is it documented? So why are you bringing Obi into it, assuming that I am Obidient when I was giving evidence of what Omokri once did and now it is happening to him on the other side? ![]() @ topic Omokri can fool himself saying he will work for Nigeria but he is currently representing the President in any country he is posted to. He is the President in Mexico in our territorial land there. How interesting it is for him to get what he gave to Buhari at the Nigerian house ![]() |
Africans eh https://x.com/i/status/2033150278438896067 The truth will eventually be out on both sides. 'War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ' |
SixSeven:Referenced quote 👇 SixSeven: |
Emdi1914:I am not quoting you to argue about my point of view or yours, I am quoting for the topic at large. While posting about the quote below, I remembered this topic 👇 SixSeven: |
SixSeven:Before colonial rule and modern legal systems, most African societies did not have professional divorce lawyers. Marriage was usually considered a union between two families or clans rather than just two individuals, so conflicts and divorces were handled by the families themselves. When problems arose, elders from both sides, such as parents, uncles, or respected community leaders would meet to mediate. Their goal was usually reconciliation first, but if separation was necessary they would negotiate matters like the return of bridewealth, the care of children, and the division of household property. In many traditional communities, these decisions were often overseen by village elders or chiefs rather than legal professionals. Because marriage linked extended families, divorce was treated as a community matter, and the authority to settle disputes rested with family councils and customary leaders instead of specialized lawyers. Today, mediation is what ADRs will do. Dissolution is what the court will do. These were all before love came in and it emphasizes the point I made on another thread which I will quote below. The main reason mediation came first was to preserve social stability and family alliances. Marriage often involved exchanges such as bridewealth, shared labor, and cooperation between families, so a divorce could disrupt these arrangements and create tension between kin groups. Attempting reconciliation also reflected the broader cultural value placed on community harmony and collective responsibility, where problems were expected to be solved through dialogue and consensus before taking the more serious step of dissolving the marriage. I submit before the panel of judges that Africa lost its own style by copying the Western values when it had its own inexpensive and connected way of marriage and dissolution of marriage. |
FaAbData:Without marriage, divorce lawyers have no client. What is a divorce lawyer in African cultures? |
Basic123:You are now trolling. Man protested when he was out of government, now that he is in government, they are doing the same thing against him. What goes around comes around. |
I put the same prompt for Bible for Christians. 👇 Yes. The Bible also contains many passages telling Christians to be patient, loving, and peaceful toward people who do not share their faith. Here are some clear examples. --- 1. Love your enemies > “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 In this teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ tells his followers not only to tolerate enemies but to actively love and pray for them. --- 2. Respond to evil with good > “Do not repay anyone evil for evil… If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” — Romans 12:17–18 This verse encourages Christians to seek peace with all people, including those who oppose them. --- 3. Be gentle and respectful when explaining faith > “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” — 1 Peter 3:15 Christians are instructed to discuss their beliefs respectfully, not aggressively. --- 4. Show kindness to everyone > “Let your gentleness be evident to all.” — Philippians 4:5 This verse encourages Christians to show gentleness toward all people, regardless of belief. --- ✅ Summary: The Bible teaches Christians to respond to non-Christians—and even enemies—with: Love Patience Gentleness Peacefulness These teachings are especially associated with the message of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. --- If you'd like, I can also show verses where both the Bible and the Qur’an say very similar things about how believers should treat people of other religions. It’s actually quite interesting how often they overlap. I didn't fact check any of the content but I asked it to show me the overlap.

rock003:I put your question into AI 👇 Yes. The Qur’an contains several verses that instruct Muslims to show patience, restraint, and good conduct toward people who do not share their faith. Here are a few clear examples. --- 1. Patience and forgiveness toward those who reject the faith > “So be patient over what they say and avoid them with gracious avoidance.” — Qur'an 73:10 This verse instructs the Prophet Muhammad to respond to insults or rejection with patience and dignified avoidance, not hostility. --- 2. Responding to ignorance peacefully > “The servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the ignorant address them harshly, they say: ‘Peace.’” — Qur'an 25:63 This verse describes righteous believers as people who respond peacefully when confronted by ignorance or hostility. --- 3. Argue with people of other faiths in the best way > “And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best…” — Qur'an 29:46 This verse tells Muslims to engage respectfully and kindly in discussions with Jews and Christians. --- 4. Kindness and justice toward non-Muslims who are peaceful > “Allah does not forbid you from being kind and just toward those who have not fought you because of religion nor driven you from your homes. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.” — Qur'an 60:8 This verse explicitly allows and encourages kindness and fairness toward non-Muslims who are not hostile. --- ✅ Summary: The Qur’an repeatedly encourages Muslims to show patience, humility, respectful dialogue, and fairness toward people of other beliefs, especially when they live peacefully together. --- If you want, I can also show verses where the Qur’an specifically tells Muslims to tolerate insults or persecution from non-Muslims—those are even more explicit about patience. |
Basic123:What's my business with Tinubu and Obi ![]() Aren't they politicians How's that different from balablu 😅😜 |
rock003:My dear correspondent, It is often the case that matters of faith stir deep feeling in the hearts of many. Throughout my years limited life, I found that the most enduring principle in such discussions is respect. Respect for one another, and for the convictions people hold dear. Knowledge, as you rightly suggest, is a noble pursuit. Yet wisdom lies not only in studying the beliefs of others, but also in speaking with civility, even when we disagree. A society that values understanding must allow room for dialogue without resorting to harsh words. Both Christianity and Islam (largest religions in the world), like many traditions of faith, have inspired millions toward charity, patience, and devotion. When discussing them, it serves us well to approach the subject with curiosity rather than contempt, and dignity rather than If one wishes to persuade others of the truth as one sees it, the most effective method is rarely anger as you have displayed, it is calm explanation, thoughtful study, and gracious conduct. And so I would gently suggest sir, pursue knowledge diligently, express your convictions confidently, but always remember that courtesy is the companion of wisdom. With measured regard, I wish you the best in knowing better than the trash you read. ✍️

Woman, protect your orifice and don't give it anyhow to the world. Protect it. You are the mother of the earth, dear woman.

GB is right wing so they are like the Fox News of US. However, I suspect Aunty Kemi may take advantage of Tinubu's visit to UK to tackle him for her own advantage. They did it to Trump when he visited. I am also wondering what the British want since the President is visiting instead of the other way round. At least they won't have insult to give us like the King did when Buhari was always in their country. Tinubu decided to take his own Nigerian a la carte to France, Britain's rival. |
This is funny because Omokri spent years protesting against the Nigerian government. Now he is on the other side, he can see how it feels. Aloydei: |
simpleseyi: |
damkin24:He didn't need to prove that he earned that amount with the payslip. That's the point but don't worry if you don't understand what I mean/t. |
ElevationD:Nice. Nigeria has a history of the youth causing the civil war among others. Are you saying the ones today are those who fought for the country and that's why they deserve to be leaders? If that was the case, every soldier will take turns after Buhari's set. Every June 12ther and Sowore will take turns. Do not blackmail the youth with wasting their time pressing phones when the old ones who should know better do not have solid plans for them. They act haughty and mighty while never leaving the post and saying they are wasting their time. I wish you said the same thing of Obama when he got there. After all, Biden was interning as his vice The younger people you failed to create the ecosystem for is who you want to blame, humor me more because you don't recognize that the report card is showing who failed more than the young people. Trump does not need Nobel Peace Prize. Okay, I have heard you. ![]()

Validated:People usually think the faith they grew up with is the right one. A Muslim says Islam is true, a Christian says Christianity is true, a Hindu says Hinduism is true. That’s normal. But believing your path is right doesn’t mean you get to judge someone else’s. If two people are respecting each other’s faith and fasting together, that’s already better than trying to tell someone their soul needs fixing.

Seventy years old man, why 😭😭😭😭

“Do not judge the world from the window of your profession.” "Do not assume the part you see represents the whole." "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." |
1. Availability Heuristic This is when people judge how common or likely something is based on examples that easily come to mind. Divorce lawyers constantly see failed marriages. Those cases are very vivid and memorable. Because that’s what they see all day, it feels like most marriages end badly, even though they are seeing a skewed sample. So their experience makes divorce seem far more common than it actually is. 2. Selection Bias This happens when the data you’re looking at is not representative of the whole population. Divorce lawyers only see couples who are divorcing. They never see the millions of couples who stay happily married. So their “dataset” is biased toward failure. 3. Negativity Bias People tend to notice and remember negative outcomes more strongly than positive ones, which can further amplify the effect.

gulfer:"On June 19, 1962, I was moved from Ikenne to Lekki. The journey to Lekki was an experience in itself. Lekki was a remote, waterlogged village, almost cut off from the rest of the world. To get there, one had to travel by canoe through mosquito-infested marshes. The government’s intention was clear: to isolate me and make it as difficult as possible for my supporters to reach me. They chose a place that was physically taxing and geographically secluded. However, the spirit of the people could not be broken. Despite the treacherous waters and the distance, hundreds of my supporters—men and women—found their way to Lekki. They came in canoes, often singing party songs that echoed across the lagoons. Their presence was a source of great strength to me during those sixteen days of restriction. The bungalow where I was kept was modest, and the environment was harsh, but it provided a period of intense reflection. I spent my time reading, writing, and contemplating the future of our great nation. It was in these quiet, difficult moments at Lekki that my resolve to serve Nigeria was further tempered."

A man must never feel as if he is self-sufficient. No matter how much he has achieved, how far he has gone, or how strong he appears, he must always recognise his need for God. The moment a man begins to think he can live without God, life itself will remind him otherwise.I feel this is life's humility check or what some others will call humiliation ritual. Humiliation ritual because the cards of life will be stack in your face and you will feel embarrassed to think you own the game. God also makes us go so far away from him only to come back to him. I think it's a way of learning to see the other side of the sea but starting the journey to know who was really directing you there. It wasn't your eyes or the 🔭 The ego avoids critical feedback to maintain a false illusion of being spectacular and genius. Humility is essential for development, as it allows for the long, quiet process of studying and learning that leads to true mastery. May we be humbled, not humiliated. 🙏 |
Spuggie:I normally will not respond to you because seeing your language, I can tell you have not achieved the status of having decent conversation and exchange of messages on the internet. Nevertheless, for those who have the mindset of yours, try to read the non-monetary benefits before arriving at a conclusion. Most of your senators and house of reps members don't earn a great salary but their benefits are something else. If you all target their salaries to come down, they will be happy to make it look like a sacrifice but those who ask questions and think about the big picture know where the money is made from. Don't just respond to attack, respond to inquire and make sound judgement. Do not bother replying me as I do not have the bandwidth for this. Please consider this my polite withdrawal from the circus. |
bamayo:Trump did not. They even abuse him for that. |
correctyourself:He signed a 'bad contract' but did not see the grammar of the contract? Okay na. School na scam. Forget my grammar oo. Agreement is agreement in Wike's voice ![]() |
Geebabs:No. Do not encourage entitlement or lieing against someone to ask for help. It is one thing to ask for help, it is another thing to malign someone's character. That is unfair to Wale Adenuga. It is increasingly becoming a very very very bad and disgusting behaviour for Nigerians to want sympathy online by stating half truths or lies against personalities who may even want to be private then let the public judge with one sided information. That is a character without integrity. When we now hear the other side, we see that it is not as they painted it. I don't like that and it will prevent more people from working with Nigerians because they will see us as backstabbers, town criers and indecent people who can't keep a gentleman's agreement. Just recently, the girl who cried rape retracted her statement after making the young man look like he was a rapist while the other lady and Umahi's classmates apologized for lieing against the minister. Those are bad behaviours we should call out so we don't encourage others to do that. If he said he didn't make money from the character or the money was not enough, that's okay but to claim ownership of a character you didn't create, then try to make it look like WAP cheated you or was unfair to you is disgusting and there is no better way to describe it.

Rossychy:I think the last Pa Ajasco who is late now actually had to shave his hair. Edit: it was fake The Veteran actor in the popular comic television drama, "Abiodun Ayoyinka", popularly known has "Papa Ajasco" has revealed that his bald hair is fake, that he just shaves it off when going on set. |
laivwire:Fair enough but this man can still play different characters. The Pa Ajasco character has to be bald. He can always play other roles without the bald head and big tummy. What about that? Did you just ask where is WAP today? |
Khamenei :- 86 year old Donald Trump :- 79 Year old Netanyahu :- 75 Year old Putin :- 72 Year old Xi Jing Ping :- 72 Year old Why do old men send young men to die in their wars Their wars do not determine who is right, only who is left. It's possible Bibi is injured and they don't want to show weakness in time of war. Don't forget he has opposition in his country and war is the thing he uses to avoid that pressure back home. In time of war, everyone has to be 1. Trump too is using the war to avoid domestic issues and a win for him will earn him a Nobel Prize. ![]() At this point, they are all tired of life, they want to play games to die.

How's that different from balablu 😅😜
