This is a photo of the then British Prime Minister, Theresa May, kneeling to greet Prince William on Thursday, August 9, 2018, when the Prince of Wales was still third in line to the throne. With the death of Queen Elizabeth II, He is now second in line. By age she is twenty five years older than Prince William.

The act of kneeling or bowing down to greet the Head of State of a country and worthy elders does not strip you of your dignity. It only shows that you are a cultured person.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the longest-serving Nigerian leader, yet he prostrates flat to greet the Ooni of Ife and the Olu of Warri. Biodun Oyebanji is the Governor of Ekiti. Nevertheless, he prostrated flat on his stomach to greet Chief Afe Babalola. Wizkid did the same for King Sunny Ade.

Are you better than them? No wonder you are where you are!

Do not let them gaslight you. The Super Falcons acted in a most dignified manner by kneeling to greet President Bola Tinubu. Only uncultured and uncouth people consider such a civilised and virtuous action as undignified.

Nigeria dey complain say low milk yield.
How cows go produce high yield milk wey dem dey waka up and down?

This is the reason for the establishment of a separate ministry of livestock.

Guess what, I have some friends from some African countries and Europe who are working in Nigeria as expatriates. Anytime, we order food food, I notice that they don't order for beef. I became curious to know the reason why. These friends or have never eaten our beef in Nigeria. When I asked them the reason why, they said the cows they see in Nigeria can only be seen in their vertinaries. That our cows look so sick to care to have a taste of one.

It was food for thought for me. How can our cows look well nourished when they are left to roam about, from Sokoto to Lagos inside of the Ranch system more so Nigeria doesn't rank any where when it comes to countries exporting cattles so why all the killings in the name of Fulani Heardsmen because of cows that are mostly sick.

Are small business owners in poverty?

A small business owners in the midst of poor people is also poor. But if the business receives a boost it will Carter for the needy without pulling them down. There is an adage, 'A rich man in the midst of 10 poor men is as poor as they are'.

OLADD:
Lies from the pit of hell. It's either you're in ADC or you're out of it. You must be a card carrying member of the party to be qualified for seeking elective post.

Commonsesically, can a full-fledged member of PDP, LP or any other party aspire to be president under ADC? That person must form another INEC to do so.

Don't mind them. They know, they are just making fun of themselves. Confused commotion.

Kukutente23:
Is small business grants a means of poverty alleviation or economic empowerment?
Is it not in same south that folks line up the street of bourdillon for hand outs?

Will economic empowerment lead you into poverty or out of poverty?

Kukutente23:
@immaculatesense
You see what I'm saying
When will Seyi empower Ondo or Ekiti women who actually voted majority of their votes for his father with business grants or they don't matter because they are not from the north

Are you not the one always making emphasis on how Poverty is ravaging the North?

Kukutente23:
Yet
Just let her get pwr

Mtcheeee bumbastic side eye.🤗

Kukutente23:
Yoruba nation now!!
I wonder what's worse
Having an Nnamdi Kanu or a Kemi Badenoch

Kemi Badenoch don't have blood on her hands.

obinna58:
You’re being ignorant, according to fifa rules the referee overturned the penalty decision after reviewing that the player’s hand was in a natural position

Was the ref right?

Damn yes

I have modified my comment above. Nothing concern me with being arrogant. Obinna God pass you.

obinna58:
The debate was that the Nigerian player’s hand was in a natural position, had nothing to do with the Moroccan player

That’s the standard fifa gave football world the direction should sue caf

The debate is the ball touched the Moroccan hand prior. Why did the referee change her decision. Of course she would have stood her ground and not take any instruction from the VAR.

What you should know is that, even in an unatural position penalties can still be awarded depending on interpretation.

Unnatural Position:
A handball offense also occurs if a player touches the ball with their hand or arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger, and this position is not a consequence of or justifiable by the player's specific body movement in that situation.

rinzaugustine:
If Lawrence Anini wasn’t executed in 1986 , still alive and a Yoruba. The way they would have hyped him up would suprise anyone who care about ethical societal standards for a better society and country. You would have been reading articles from them like “ Lawrence Anini the gold standards of criminality in Nigerian politics” once he is vying for elections. They don’t care about good governance as long as the person is from their side

That is why Igbos are different. Igbos call a spade a spade. When Soludo said 99.9% of crimes and all sorts of atrocities committed in Anambra is by Igbos nobody doubted him. 😁

When you want to get permanent tattoo of your boyfriends name, make sure the name na like John, Luke, Matthew, Jeremiah, Isaiah or even Corinthians, or Thessalonians...so u go just add chapter and verse if una break up

And if by chance she becomes a Muslima, wetin go happen?

Running around in circles. I wonder what the opposition will use for campaign. Is it this same nonsense??

Funflipper:
She should name the institutions being desecrated by Tinubu. That way, we can independently verify if it is true or just another headline baiting by the political jobber masquerading as an activist.

Don't give that one attention. You never sabi am for Nairaland? Na silent treatment dem d give their type.

ADC be like that Zambian Female team wey dey make mouth like radio until our Supper Falcons knack dem 5 kodo. 😁😁😁

So, Tinubu shouldn't give them their allocation? What are the people of these states doing to hold their governors accountable.

It got nothing to do with Nigeria winning Morocco but an overall assessment of the tournament.
That wasnt a penalty. The ball had hit a Moroccan player before hitting ours.

Let us ask, what is the penalty for the laser beam been flashed on our players?!

Look at the expression on the faces of our players when the ball hit the Moroccan player around her elbow.

NIGERIA WON MOROCCO FAIR AND SQUARE.

Arexit:
if he Graduates from baze now its same you that will claim he only did because his.....

But you were making so much noise because Buhari patronized London hospital over Nigerian hospital.

Finquas:
The ethnic slants by the so called sophisticated people has awoken them . They always turn negative Situations to Positive outcomes.. I bet in a few Couple of years the East will be the biggest economic hub and center in this Country .. Congrats to our brothers across the Niger

We wish you the best. That has always been our out cry. Go and develop your home instead. It is the wisest thing to do.

Afonjacoward:
Now that PO has visited EDO State again without informing the governor I look forward to seeing what they will do next.
You can't possibly threaten Okwute.

It happened in Abuja not Edo State. Please Fact check.

ibabz:
I don’t think I need to educate you that this OS’u you mentioned as been abolished. Or when last did you hear that someone was banished from the community? OS’u is cultural. And culture in itself changes over time. This acknowledges the dynamic nature of culture, it is not static. Cultures evolve due to technology, globalization, migration, education, conflict, and generational shifts.

According to you even when it is public knowledge that it rises it's head when people chose to marry in where it is being practiced. Many about to get married got it cancelled as a result.

helinues:
It used to be around 50m+. It has reduced. With the commissioning of some farm equipments by president Tinubu just some weeks ago, there should be more improvement with our food security.

At least in Southern regions, herdsmen crisis have reduced drastically . The farmers don't have excuse

You got my message very well. This is an improvement compared to the past.

Only 34 million?! That's not much. Just 34 million Nigerians according to UN.

ibabz:
Knowing boundaries is good, but knowing when to rise above them is even better, that’s how nations grow.

Within an ethnic group there is discrimination which is even a cultural heritage passed on. A good example is the ou't caste system popularly known as Os'u. So what do you have to say?

Rexymania:
What is Edo State government doing to curb this manice?
When MNK was fighting herdsmen from the southeastern forest, you all were accusing him of terrorism.

Una dey allow some people gaslight una.

Well God will protect me and my families, bcus we where never part of this in the first place

You mean to say Professor Soludo is lying?! Stop decieving yourself fa.

madridguy:
Aisha Yesufu should give account to our money with her.

She will be like..... Hahaha. ,"What are you saying"? "No just go that side";😁

I don taya for this noisemaker. Who else is tired lol. 😁

Two DAVIDO threads again on front page back to back...how much did seun collect for this PR?

Davido is able to project himself very well more than any other artists that is the secret of his success. He either use Chioma, Israel, Gov Adeleke and etc.

Same was Ned Nwako, he used Regina Daniel to get himself famous.

I love the creativity in this expression of victory.😁
Our under 19 girls didn't do badly at all at the under 19 basketball world cup.
