Beuriful because women were walking around with all their wares flapping around openly, abi?

Do you even know that without the Americans intervention in Iran that led to the overthrow of Irans democratically elected government, and the impositions of the Shah thereof, the Iranian revolution that brought the Islamic into governance wouldn't have happened

Nigerians should stop parroting talking points from CNN and the BBC..

Seriously..

Mba became dig before the ig. We all know that Mba is more competent than him. Yoruba government favoured him. Even tinubu knows, that is the reason he cancelled the compussory retirement in the force. Untill appointment is based on merit as it was during the colonian era,
Nigeria will hardly make progress.

Marriage Is Not an Achievement But Responsibility Is
Many young people now reject marriage as a measure of success, and they are not wrong. Marriage by itself is not an achievement but it is a social structure. Now let me educate them a bit, what deserves closer attention is not your rejection of the idea of marriage, but the growing discomfort with responsibility that often accompanies it.

In African philosophy, a human being is measured largely by character. Achievement lies in the ability to act with restraint, care, and accountability. Marriage without these qualities is empty and freedom without them is destructive.

Sex has never been treated as morally neutral in any serious society. This is not because desire is evil and we are not biological people but because sex carries consequences. It creates emotional bonds, social expectations, and the possibility of children. A culture that treats sex as casual while demanding stable outcomes is not enlightened. It is inconsistent with social order and you can see the results today. One guy is always writing on his posts here on NL that the only advice he has for men is to conduct DNA.

For women, sexual fidelity was historically preserved to protect clear lines of responsibility but the ones who think they have opened eyes said it was for control. In a world without DNA testing, fidelity ensured that motherhood, paternity, and inheritance were socially legible. It allowed men to be held accountable and children to know where they belonged. Sexual norms were less about purity and more about responsibility. This did not mean women alone bore moral burden. Female sexual discipline made sense only in societies that demanded male duty in return. When restraint was expected of women but responsibility was optional for men, the moral logic broke.

Motherhood, like fatherhood, is more than biology. To bring life into the world is to accept obligation. The woman who nurtures, guides, and forms character performs one of the most demanding social roles that exists. A society that dismisses this labor while celebrating autonomy misunderstands freedom.
The family unit matters not just because it is traditional, but because it works. It is the foundation to society. It is the first place where limits are learned, where care becomes habitual, and where responsibility becomes personal. When family structures weaken, the cost of this weakness does not go away as people think it will fizzle out. It reappears in institutions asked to do what homes once did. There was a reason we said a community raises a child and why our proverbs talk about family and lineage. For so many years, the West tried to break our hegemony, they wanted us to leave our values and ethics and be like them while secretly admiring our foundation and structure. Thank God many people have japa now, they can now see the difference between oyinbo life and our society where each child is everyone's child but unfortunately when they go back home, alas even the people back home want to be like the oyinbo man without knowing it's a sad life disconnected from our roots as a people.

Young people are not wrong to question marriage. They are right to question hollow traditions. What must be reconsidered is not marriage as a trophy, but responsibility as a value.


Sexual freedom without accountability is not progress. Fidelity without mutual obligation is not justice.

I am happy this generation is sleeping anyhow and anywhere with anyone they like. When the chicken comes home to roost, you will then appreciate the wisdom of your forefathers and mothers in preserving the institution called marriage and why society needs order, accountability and responsibility. It is what we call you go see for yourself. When you are young you question many things but with age you start to understand many things too. Your parents got married because it was a sign of responsibility. Some people asked why the opinion of a married person was more important than that of an unmarried person. Those who maintained this tradition knew that it takes a special person to live with another wo/man as husband/wife and still be normal. That's why in the past, for politicians, they used to yab themselves if anyone of them had family issues that "you that cannot take care of your home wants to take care of our country".



Marriage is a school.
Freedom is a mirage.
Marriage is not an achievement.
Becoming a responsible adult is.

Kaa4:
The Minister is simply a fall guy and is being punished for a systemic problem.

The new Minister, who is a good audit professional, should conduct a complete audit of approved monies that were never disbursed, if he wants to be true to his profession.

Then make corrections that should be enduring, to "fix a broken system"

thrillionaire:
You are analysing nonsense kindly. America is great and shoulders the responsibility of keeping rogue countries in check and this means using military might to make troublesome countries act right.
If not for Trump I'm not sure you'll have the liberty or even be alive to type this pointless sermon of yours.

CaseSensitive:
Iran stopped all exports to South Africa until apartheid regime stopped killing Africans but we have Africans here thinking Iran is the country birthing Islam extremists and terrorism. A lot of you don't know who your real enemies are but until then......

anonimi:
Many thanks for another enlightening post.

Could you please clarify the bold parts.

Slaves resisted in many ways, however when it was too much to bear, suicide became a frequent occurrence, often by refusal of food or medicine or jumping overboard, as well as by a variety of other opportunistic means.[29] If an enslaved person jumped overboard, they would often be left to drown or shot from the ship.[30] Over the centuries, some African peoples, such as the Kru, came to be understood as holding substandard value as slaves, because they developed a reputation for being too proud to be enslaved and for attempting suicide immediately upon losing their freedom.[31

Both jumping overboard and self-starving were prevented as much as possible by slaver crews; the enslaved were often force-fed or tortured until they ate, though some still managed to starve themselves to death; the enslaved were kept away from means of suicide, and the sides of the deck were often netted.[32] The enslaved were still successful, especially at jumping overboard. Often when an uprising failed, the mutineers would jump en masse into the sea. Slaves generally believed that if they jumped overboard, they would be returned to their family and friends in their village or to their ancestors in the afterlife.[33]

Suicide by jumping overboard was such a problem that captains had to address it directly in many cases. They used the sharks that followed the ships as a terror weapon. One captain who had a rash of suicides on his ship took a woman and lowered her into the water on a rope, and pulled her out as fast as possible. When she came in view, the sharks had already killed her, biting off the lower half of her body.[34]

Seun:
Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

Orlandoo:
You have allowed Reno Omokri or a moderator that is pro Reno Omokri to be dictating what people says about Reno, whereas Reno himself can say whatever he wants and nothing happens, and it hit front page. There was a day I commented on a topic Reno created himself, I wasn't banned by the mods or spam bot, but the following morning my post was no where to be seen in that thread. Is Reno Omokri a moderator on nairaland?

ManOfSon:
Why is the site always promoting noisemakers like Nyesom Wike and Reno Omokri?

The guy will definitely be the next minster of finance.

Wale Edun will need to leave. We see the reform in the central bank and applaud it.

We haven’t seen much reform within the fiscal side so let’s see if Taiwo can bring some sanity.

kettykin:

When pressed, Minister Wale Edun shifted responsibility to the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, claiming she handled disbursements.

Who else saw this, why this

Blunt99:
I have gone through all your posts and realized where you stand.

You are not sitting on the fence, neither do you care about happenings in your own country.

You only care because the whole thing is no longer going the way you want it.

For what Nigerians have been facing in the hands of Muslims and their t3rror*sts sect, the hatred for anything sl@m is very justified - and anyone who is able to give them any sense of justice, even with ulterior motives, is very welcome - at the end, nothing is for free.

No one is Saint, not even your forefathers who sold their kids, cousins, and niece into slavery just to hold chieftitleship in their local communities.

For now, sl@m is our problem, and who ever is filling the gap to punish them is very justified...

When we get to the other bridge, we will cross it.

I never bothered watching your pointless video - which is also an evidence that you lack the mind of your own and you are getting brainwashed.

You don't really understand the logic of absolute freewill and intelligence that you so craved and advocate.

SixSeven:
In war, everyone will do propaganda, both the offender and the defender. Your own is to take what is worth your salt and leave the rest. Hope you get that?

I don't like CNN but sometimes I have to listen to them. You go to the right, go to the left, that's where you find the truth, that's where you know what is fact, what is opinion and what is critical thinking.

THE TRIALS OF ERNST ZÜNDEL

Ernst Zündel (1939-2017) was a German-born publisher, author, and civil rights activist.

In 1977, Zündel published a 28-page pamphlet called "Did 6 Million Really Die?" written by Richard Verrall.

Tucker Carlson?. The man that suddenly changed his ideology in his 50's?. We all know that man is a sellout. He does all his propaganda because of Arab money

Blunt99:
I know your type.

Always advocating for sitting on fence, and advocating for critical thinking,


But the fence you are truly sitting on belongs to Iran...

Your critical thinking eventually kicks in when it happens that the Iran fence you are sitting is now under threat.


Hopeless hypocrite

I’m a veteran of the Iraq War—my generation of veterans knows something about the costs of regime change wars. Any chickenhawk now beating the drum for war should answer a basic question—how many Americans should die for their war? If you won’t answer that, then shut up about it. pic.twitter.com/sSzNkMR1uu

This is why sometimes I don't exchange comments here on Nairalander. To you the war between USA and Israel vs IRAn is about religion to you, your ancestry can be traced to slavery, mine is not, we rather die in our knees that to leave like a slave while standing.

The truth is that the world created a beast and killing machine in the US/Israel
Now they are a threat to everybody and there is nothing we can do. US does not know how to survive when there is peace. 99% of wars and conflict are engineered by US and its allies. And they have heavily invested in keeping ignorant fools enslaved by religion and colonialism as their supporters.

Infact, if husbands treat their wives how their pastors, gym Instructors and bosses treat them, they will get the best out of their wives

Kobojunkie:
1. What in the world are you on about? 🥱🥱🥱

2. Woman who wants to be called a mother? Pursue a bad dream? Maternal instinct? Are you high? 🥱🥱🥱

Kobojunkie:
. I am glad he is doing well and decided to keep the kids. That way, the ex-wife can also have the freedom to work on herself and pursue her own life and dreams away from a marriage she was also probably not happy in. It is a win-win for both. 🥱🥱🥱
