The guy with the live transmission of his birthday on a national TV station.

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
God bless Edo State
God bless Ebonyi State
God bless Kano State
God bless Lagos State

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙂

Medicine after death. Didn't the village head say they sent SOS to the government and they came to their rescue after the deed had been done

They were even counting the number of dead bodies that were Muslims or Christians. How low have we come that we've lost our humanity as a people?

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9Y8JU0ynac

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.

Yes we are so amazing! Haibo, leave trash for LAWMA 🗑️

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.


https://www.tiktok.com/video/7352487136366480645?lang=en

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.

I guess if Tinubu gets invited to the White House, it will be like an admission to heaven. Black people! Nigerians!! And they want to claim that all humans are created equal while they psychologically chain their minds to perpetual servitude. Evidently White people rule the world.

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

Freshandfitpod:
Abati ended up being the $!mp, the left over man after all the juice have dried up. I shake my head

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.

Google the definition of pandering and then you will understand what this candidate is trying to do.

Trump will interfere with the elections of many countries and it will work well in some places, it will backfire in other places. The classic case is Canada and how, because of Trump's comments, the leading candidate there lost the election. So be careful how you use Trump as a background wallsaver, e fit give you blue screen of death. This is the advice I have for APC re Remi Tinubu joining praise and worship.

dictators are known to be strong physically all over the world.
The man we have at the central doesn't possess any atom of agility in him,so the Paul biya's style of conquering Nigeria should be treated as DOA

Have you heard of the cabal? It's like Yar'Adua saga did not teach Nigerians anything. Those who benefit from the weakness are the string defenders of the status quo, it's not really about the strength of the leader in power. Heck, Yar Adua was on hospital bed and people were telling us the President can rule from anywhere in the world, signing your country away. Biya is there not out of his physical strength but the power is maintained by those who benefit from it. It's those hyenas you should watch out for.

Their is no reason whatsoever that Irev should be domicile. Transmission of election votes in the Irev is non negotiable that is where we can have free, fair and transparent elections. The Irev system shows it is working and the only remedy to shorthand elections malpractices and irregularities as well the Pathfinder to credible and less elections litigation. If Nigeria wants to fix this country INEC must be fixed first and for INEC to be fixed Irev must be fixed. No retreat! No surrender!! The power must be transferred to people through the ballot!

I don't see any reason why we can't have live transmission of the results and the numbers on NTA. Give it to one young man to do and they will link all results along with the signed copy of the polling unit result to the database that everyone can see. Any voter can fact check their polling unit using a link and this makes the process transparent. After all, APC has monitoring centres, so why are we making a big deal of 774 local government dataset? What are they monitoring?

There is no big deal in it, it's the magomago they want to do that is making it bigger than it is that they now call professors and all manner of people just to do counting and verify it. Aren't we ashamed as a country?

Even here on Nairaland, I see something like that. Ordinary voting poll, the results changed days later. These are the people who first abuse others that there are no polls online but they still don't like a fair process. We don't like integrity, we are afraid of truth. Truth does not fear. Lies do.

SixSeven:
Can you see how the poll numbers have changed after the poll has ended?

It was 57% against 37%, now it had reduced to 56% against 37%. Obi had 1 more vote from the last time it ended and Tinubu had 3 more votes after the Nairaland collation centre and server glitch adjusted the result I have no problem with approximates, I have a problem with the tampering of the total number of votes cast for each candidate.

Our problem is not e-voting or any other thing like that, our problem is the refusal to follow a process through and the desperate need to always manipulate things rather than having an objective process with its integrity intact.

I didn't expect anything to change but I deliberately monitored this thread and archived it to see how changes are made because the mods may hide some comments and in the future, the poll result can change after 4 days, who knows? I should not be doing this but I want to see the end result of the monitoring experiment as a social study. Out of nowhere we saw this poll and it closed so fast:

I totally agree with your on this madam

It's a catch 22 because you need to live in a place that is conducive but you want to be paid for it. Now, it is the duty of the owner of the house to handle all repairs but when the owner does not do that, my brother, how many years do we have to live on earth to be living in inconvenience? The landlord wants your money but does not want responsibility to take care of his house. The tenant wants to help you but the ingrate that you are say NO, let me increase your suffering. If only we put ourselves in the shoes of others, we will know where it hurts the most but until we do that, we like to pretend like we are saints.

The worst thing for a landlord is to have a tenant who will cause more damage to the property and at the end, even their house rent money, half of it will go into repair. Isn't that mumuness? Life is just unnecessarily wicked because man has chosen to be wicked to themselves then they go to mosque on Fridays, Church on Sunday and mountain on Monday to ask for forgiveness when they have many things to do that they can fix. They blame the devil 🤡

We won't need contracts in the world if everyone played their part, honored commitments and acted responsibly but what do I know sef?

You're probably a kid. When you get married you won't utter this reckless statement against polygamy.

Go and see elderly men and how their wives abandoned them to "nurse grandchildren" in uk, is and canada.

The only man that won't regret monogamy is the man that doesn't live long.

An enlightened Yoruba man will actually go the way of his father and forefathers and their mothers, which is polygamy and those people were not unfortunate.

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.
