If this news was from Russia, you will hear "They can't even keep their aircraft's in the air" or "Corruption has eaten so deep in their military that pilots don't have enough training or fuel in their aircraft's"

Oga you should be concerned about the giving of accurate information and not jumping into the pool of petty waters,how many aircrafts are involved here in the headline and in the details?

Comfortableme:
I killed this lizard and wanted to burn it, but someone came to pick it and says he will eat it.
Ahh is it edible
Just asking

Why did you kill it?

These reptiles kill and eat other dangerous reptiles like snakes...

Racoon:
Apologies! The original writer of the FB post lumped both images together but I too still erroneously sumed them up. As a proactive mod, you should have change the topic to reflect the diversity please. May be "Some Important Relics of Colonial Nigeria."

No.
You are the op and you should do that.

Mynd44:
Racoon, I don't understand why the second picture featured in this collection.

Title: Some Important Relics Of Colonial Lagos In Pictures

Second picture: 2nd Photo: Women on a street in Aba, Eastern Region (Nigeria), 1951( By Lorenzo Dow Turner - Black American).


Please enlighten me

Aba is NOT a relic of Lagos, Aba is a strong town with its own history, culture and pride. It is a town that has its own stories to tell and not smuggled under another city so far from it. Doing this just confused people and is an attempt to rewrite history

Though you are very correct but a mere error which the op acknowledged and all of a sudden you come up with this "and attempt to rewrite history!"....this is too low especially from someone of your cadre on this forum. This post of yours is capable of igniting something else here.


And Racoon,you are the op, please remove that error picture nah,it doesn't belong here...

A 400L student came up with this crap!!!

GerogeI:
I think the first thing is to define culture. Its the way a people live and perform specific functions now. If you have been doing some thing for the past 300 years and continue doing so, that's culture. It does not mean that 300 years ago you did not learn to do such a thing from someone else.

Similarly, tradition is a way of doing things that spans from the past.
Reno Omkri, should educate himself on the difference between origination and tradition. That Yorubas spin clothing, does not mean they did not learn weaving from Fulani Arabs, who even gave them the name "Yoru-ba" or "Yari-ba". Infact we all know the Fulanis would have added Yoruba land to their colonies if the Western civilization did not interfare, cause they already sold Islam to them. Next step was to give them an emir and condemn their own Kings, which they already did in Kwara.

Similarly Igbos learnt weaving from the western colonisers and make akawette cloth. And also adopt various clothing from the white man over, centuries ago, making them part of their culture.

Coming on media to compare colonial adaptations of Yorubas from Fulani colonizers and Igbos from Western colonizers seems kind of demented and aimless attentions seeking.

My brother,it's just so horrible what we busy ourselves with in this country.. we've got a lotta very long way to go,so sad. The hatred and division is just too much..and to think a mod was playing this game along!

Mynd44:
This is not the point. Those who wear "suit, jeans and sneakers" already know that the attire is not "native" and they do not present it as such unlike the people who would wear "Ankara" and say they are wearing native attires.

No, they style might be native but the fabric is not and that is the point. There is no difference between an Ijaw man wearing so-called traditional wear hats and you wearing a suit but you wearing a suit don't say you are wearing your cultural attire

Seun you cannot keep the guy as a mod. This is a non issue from a person of Reno who's always up to nothing good about the easterners and your supposed mod should keep away from this.

This is how Nigerians keep getting deceived and distracted from main national issues that affects them and the children.

Sharpsharp00123:
guy south ain't d same

In d south we have the moderate Christians n extremist just as u have it in d north

South west is liberal n moderate n that's y religion is balanced there n the other south but u see those children of hate n perdition, they are importing their hate to Christianity.

Some of us have been away from this site for very long and logging in to see disgusting posts like this is just altogether awful.
When will you Nigerians ever change?

Some people will see Tinubu and not Tribunal 😁

2cato:
most parents who have wards in public schools are not financially buoyant enough to pay for exam malpractice like the public schools so such is expected.

unlike their private school counterpart where a 12 years old will make 9As courtesy of exam runs and they will want to enter private university at 13 years then shouting beauty and brain

This post shows exactly one of the reasons for the mass failure...

That 16 people so far "liked" this comment is really worrisome.
Kindly read comments if you got nothing reasonable or educated to drop

And it's doing its job very well.
The site is now less toxic

For how long is the govt going be pampering the north?

Did they,from Buhari,not ban rice importation and shut the borders against rice just to improve northern rice cultivation?
Did that not skyrocket the price?!

What a country

Yorubas voted for Jonathan 2011.
Their votes added up to the eastern and south south votes to made him win.
The north didn't vote for him.

That was exactly why he lost 2025 because the west did not vote for him. He would have won if they did

A shame and a disgrace

I was watching the video and then I saw that it is a one hour plus video...for what na

The only man who we all remember, known as Unnamdi Kanu,who warned us about these Fulani herdsmen spreading themselves in our bushes and well armed is in jail today and most of us applaud it

Hmmm we wonder how many people would be left during a census in that venue nd plateau states.

A very stupid bill. The NASD should dump it in the garbage bin.

Some of these oafs should be replaced.

What can someone mean by saying,my name is chinedu from Kano state?
Or Abdusalam abubakar from Calabar?

Oafs

The picture alone depicts a divided and unequal Nigeria

Seun:
Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

Please kindly be very strict and drastic about the tribalists making this place horrible. This is the main reason some users want to deactivate.
You come online,read a topic and when you want to comment on it, tribalistic comments immediately makes you think otherwise

Secondly your time structures should reflect the actual period of day e.g. 07 is am and 7 or 19 is pm. Seeing 07 in the evening on the forum is not right. Please note this.

Example @ below,edited @5:36 pm
"15 April 2025 at 05:36 PM"

05:36 is actually a.m

Otherwise, kindly leave Nairaland the way it is,we do not need any adjustments. Thanks a lot.

This your story makes one feel so sad..

Please do your best to be successful and make your father a happy man

Why are these south west people like this?!
I have come to realise that most of you on this forum who criticise the east on daily basis are mostly muslim and one wonders,if not for mischief,why are you interested in the church of Christ and Christianity?

And importantly,why is it like hard for you people to display same energy against the real terrorists killing Nigerians everywhere and everyday,even at your own backyards?!!! Why?
The Fulanis are killing us everyday,killing our farmers, burning our homes and instead of you yorubas to joins others in tackling these murderers,you keep ruining our efforts in curbing the menace.
For Pete's sake,can't you people ever do without the Igbos!!!?

As for the story,if true or not, anyone against the church of Christ has the almighty God to contend with

Can someone please tell me what the problem is with Tottenham?!!!!

josephine123:
U re the one obviously saying gibberish right now, u just want us to know that there is an animal called palm civet.


Look at the size and the tail, how is it palm civet??

Though it is not a palm civet but it is a civet,so
Sirianese is still right in a manner

madridguy:
Hypocrisy kpai you there.

Sorry bros

You just have to shake your head in disgust when you come across threads like this.

This is so pathetic.
With this type of mentality,you Nigerians should weep for yourselves for you have a very long way to go

Wonderful! See how nairalanders find it easy to insult!

Old fool,fool,bastard,this and that,hhaa!

No respect again!!!
God have mercy

madridguy:
The man trying to steal from a hardworking Yoruba woman is from that side

The Arise TV presenter Ojy Okpe thought that criminal was a yoruba man.
She was laughing hysterically on TV this morning addressing him as agbero..
She must be full of disappointment realizing now that that culprit was her brother from same region.

For God's sake,can't you old men, can't you adults do away with this foolishness?!!
Can't you guys allow decency on this forum?

Ummm,wait o,what is she holding?

Seriously,that banzas should be dealt with seriously.

One can see that the woman is really struggling with life and one full of a man wants to obtain her.
