Who cares? |
In as much as I dislike both Dino Melaye and Yayah Bello, and I understand that this is all political show of power between the 2 fools. However, I like this development where the masses know that they have the power to recall a seating senator. Even if the whole exercise becomes unsuccessful, the fact that Kogi indigenes make use of this constitutional power makes it worthwhile. I think it is time the masses started holding people in position of power responsible for the state of decay we found ourselves in this country. With GDP greater than 35 countries in Africa combined, Nigerians shouldn't be going through all these hardship they are going through. This is the reason why I always say, we need mental revolution. Our mumu don do |
Dumb shiit |
scantee:This is first hand account of someone that witnessed the event. Surely there are many mentally unstable people in Nigeria, and there are handful of them on Nairaland. If you read comments from the 1st page, you will understand that there are so many mentally deranged people on Nairaland. I wish there is dislike button to dislike all their comments. These fools joke about killing like it is something worth joking about. They are surely as mentally unstable as this culprit. |
finaly01:Don't say what you don't know. How can the word nigro be abolished when the meaning of black in Spanish is Negro, in Italian is Nero and in French is Noir. All these words are derived from Latin word for black which is Nigrium or Niger. Now to the origin of the word River Niger. There are 2 common references The first one is from Latin word Niger which means black. Hence river Niger means black river or river of black people The second one is from Berber phrase gher nigher which means river of all rivers. For the sake of argument, let's assume the river name is derived from Latin word Niger. What that implies is that the river's name in English is Black river. So, is there something wrong in a river being called black river? Fyi, there are over 50 rivers called black river in different languages all over the world from Rio Negro in Brazil, to Rio Tinto in Honduras, to Bafing river in Mali, to Chorna river in Ukraine, to Amur river in China, to 5 rivers called black rivers in Canada, to about 30 rivers called black rivers in USA, to Krishna river in India etc. The problem with your post is that you termed the word Niger or negro as slave instead of it's true meaning of black. You seriously need to enlighten your mind and free yourself from inferiority complex and mental slavery. |
Rip Tiote |
effty:No they are not. Ojukwu culled the word Biafra from the bight of Biafra which is now bight of Bonny after the civil war. The bight of Bonny stretched from the delta of river Niger in Nigeria to cape lopez in Gabon. The word Biafra absolutely have no Igbo origin |
effty:The word Biafra was derived from the subgroup of Tenda ethnic group that reside primarily in Guinea-Bissau till date known as Biafar or Biafada. The word is believed to have some Portuguese origin. |
badman007:If you know history, you should know that great Ghana empire was not located anywhere close to the present Ghana nation And the word Niggar was never used for black slaves in Europe, it was used in new world (America) by the destitute slave owners. The word nigger was coined from latin word neger which means black. In Spanish and Portuguese till date the word negro, neger or negra till date. But the first use of the word negars to describe African slaves in a derogative way was used by John Wolfe in 1619 in Colonial America. Nigger: Ni ga Is different from Niger: Nai ja Technically, if a spanish person call you negro, he is not being insultive |
millionaireman:Tell me the bolded is a joke. Asia forced into one country? Do you even know how big Asia is? |
maxiuc:The joke is on you. Be saying E pain am up and down like a retar.ded toddler. |
maxiuc:These 2 did Ojukwu and Azikiwe Nnamdi Kanu will join them soon |
Abiola sacrifice will forever be remembered |
Guyman02:I have been seeing this kind of comment flying around lately. Igbos should stop this mentality of playing victims in a country where they are supposed to be a Majority tribe. Now to address the garbage you wrote. If you are intelligent enough, you should know that oil blocks in Nigeria are awarded to qualified companies after a bidding process that are made public just like every other countries in the world. So far you are a Nigerian with a registered company you are entitled to bid for any oil well you wish to. So when Alakija's company Famfa Limited decided to bid for OPL (Oil prospecting License) 216, nobody stopped you or your kinsmen from bidding for the License. Also, your ignoramus self wouldn't know that winning an OPL is a very risky venture because you could bid for an Oil well and realized that after you spent so much money, there is nothing but water or gas in the well, or the oil in the well is not commercially viable. So instead of you hating on the woman for being smart and taking a risky decision when the opportunity showed up, you should work hard, start a legal company and position your company for when an opportunity to bid for an oil block shows up. I can bet with anything I have from your comment that you are not aware that NNPC just accepted bids from 278 local and foreign firms for 26 oil grades. http://nnpcgroup.com/PublicRelations/NNPCinthenews/tabid/92/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/603/278-Firms-Bid-for-Nigerian-Crude-Oil-Grades-as-NNPC-Moves-to-eliminate-Hawking-of-Nigerian-Crude.aspx So it is not anyone's fault if you and your kinsmen continue to play victims in a country where you have as much right as anyone else. |

Olny fools won't pay attention to history. So far democracy exist in Nigeria, Abiola and his family will forever be remembered for the sacrifice they paid. |
What difference is this budget gonna make? |
enny66:Nna bia.... I have something I want to tell you [img]https://3.bp..com/-iCunYfbrSlo/VwLoaMPldJI/AAAAAAAAJV8/C0KYDBorfMYXxLE0pEPUTHo-AHYdSAPRQ/s1600/Cookie-Lyon-Slap-jamal.gif[/img] |
If I post anything now, people will say I have come again. But seriously, what is there about nationally celebrating a first class in an undergrad program? ![]() |
mostsimpliest:First of all, as a man to man. You deserve this for the bolded. https://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l41/dusouljah/he-got-game-o.gif Now to my advice. Bro if I have to be candid with you, you need some toughening up. You are too weak of a guy, and trust me, women don't respect nor like guys that are weak. As for this your ex, this one is a lost course. She sees you as a timid, weak and slow guy hence she can never have any respect for you in this life. I don't need to tell you not to call her, your brain should tell you that by now. If I were you, I will not only never call her again, I will block all her contacts and avoid ever seeing her again. And please stop calling her your ex gf, you are more like her ex footmat. Now for your toughening up process. I can see you are engineering student, and some of you get shy around girls. You need to start watching some videos online on how to be comfortable around girls, roll with your friends that you know are comfortable around girls and start working on that skill. After you think you have acquired that skill, then start making friends with girls without any intention of dating them. After this, then you can start dating a girl that you feel has some respect for you. There are some other toughening up process like working on your emotions, being decisive on what you want and not being a push over by any human being. I think you need all that not just for dating but also for your everyday life. Dude do not date any girl without being bold and emotionally strong. I repeat do not go into any other relationship without working on yourself. |
We need mental revolution in Nigeria |
sunnyeinstein:You touched so many points in your post and I respect your intelligence. I agree with you that hers is a success story especially when one considers where she came from. Her story would have been more appealing if the topic has been a former street hawker in Ibadan bagged PhD in Canada. Just like you observed, I saw some flaws in her write up. Claiming to be the first black to graduate in a program from a particular university not only show some complexity, it also show someone yearning for recognition. Also, the fact that she mentioned getting her PhD as something she did for Mama Africa shows how much self proclaiming and attention yearning she is. Mama Africa surely deserve more than taking one of her daughters getting PhD in a field where tens of thousands have already gotten PhD as an achievement. Mama Africa deserves her children building citadel of knowledge that can compete with anywhere in the world, she deserves her children pioneering new technologies and ideas, she deserves her children leading the front in advancement and civilization. I go to website like kickstarter and indiegogo, I see people of other races crowdfunding for innovative ideas and I come to Nairaland, I see people celebrating Efe and BBN, people celebrating someone that printed based on logistics on a t-shirt, people celebrating politicians etc. And I ask myself why do we celebrate mediocrity so much in Nigeria. |
NaijaElba:First of all you don't know me, but you deem it fit to call me an idi.ot. To the issue of BBN, if I were you, what I would have done is to check at my previous posts. Nobody dislike the celebration of BBN as much as I do. Now to the topic, all I can say is, it's good for her, her family and friends that she finished her PhD, but there is no way that should be a national celebration even if she's the first black to do it in Canada which I'm 100% sure she is not. My question for you is, if a Nigerian goes to Cambodia or Hungary and become the first black to get PhD in a program from a particular university, should we celebrate he or she nationally? Or this case should be treated different because the country in question is Canada? |
Tell me something I don't know |
GoodFaith:Alright bro |
mufuteeeee:I really appreciate that you understand my point of view. It is really disheartening when we celebrate mediocricy when other nations in the world are busy developing innovative and outstanding technologies. We really have a long way to go as Africans. Sure you can send a message to me anytime bro. |
GoodFaith:Good bless Ma'am (I'm taking a guess you're a woman) you took the words outta my mouth. Doing PhD without the intention of lecturing or doing research is just an overkill. I also feel that Nigerians that insisted on being called doctor because they have PhD are not only dumb but also have serious complexity issue. It is baffling how we attach so much importance to titles and things that aren't big deal. I have met a Nigerian that introduced himself as Biochem. So and so, and I'm like seriously! ![]() |
GoodFaith:Are you trying to imply that you have been in Canada for over 30 years? If so, congrats to you And for clarity, I'm not trying to tell you a zilch about Canada. All I'm saying is, someone getting a phd shouldn't be celebrated as a national achievement. |
GoodFaith:Of course it is something for her to celebrate, but not something of national celebration like it is a big deal to have a phd, and surely not something one tribe should be taunting another with I live in Canada and I have been to Saskatchewan before. Trust me I have met and seen Nigerians that have done things worth talking about. Last year a Nigerian was in top 7 of Masterchef Canada. 2 years ago, a Nigerian duo of father and daughter were in top 5 of Amazing race Canada and many other feats like these but still they are still not worth jubilating about |
sshalom:There are many Nigerians in Regina and Saskatoon. There is nothing unusual about the cold in Saskatchewan. You dress warm for the weather, live in a heated house and drive a heated car. No big deal |
