Kipaji:
Can't wait for your book Prof. Guobe

bro, what are you?

pansophist:
IT skills bro. Do more programming, since it doesn't involve expensive equipment.

A good one is animations and video editing. But you need a high-end laptop since we are in the era of 4k-8k video quality.

If you are very good with words, then maybe freelance on fiverr and upwork. ANy laptop with MS word will do. Collecting your money from Nigeria is where the problem is.

Thank you boss, I'm already into kdp publishing but getting a profitable niche or keyword has been a major obstacle. So, I'm trying to diversify — I've got responsibilities.

pansophist:
I don't know bro, I do not know much about laptops.

Hello sir, I was talking about the course you mentioned in the first comment I quoted. Please what course or skill can I acquire now that would change my life if I stay committed?


If I have to upgrade my PC's ram just to learn it, I will. So sorry.

VaselineCrew:
If no one goes to jail over this, then it would cement what you're saying, that lives don't matter in Nigeria

God have mercy!

I remember when all the fuss was made about getting Nnamdi Kanu, and at that point, all he was doing was talking on a microphone, however callous, but here we have a military taking 126 lives and nothing? This trial should be even bigger than Nnamdi Kanus own was.

May God have mercy on the souls of the departed and grant them a peaceful rest in his Kingdom, in Jesus name, amen!

You still believe these toothless Nigerians are capable of holding those at the "top" accountable?

They're still focused on Palestine VS Israel.

obaidan:
they are older and adults, they are the teachers therefore they should know better. That's the reason they are employed as teachers, to help guide the behavior and thoughts of the students

We are actually saying the same thing.

You don't know these girls — most times, the both parties are guilty. We only focus on these teachers because they are older and adults.

Kingozymandias:
He looks 51. That is the problem with Nigerians football = age falsification

51? That guy looks his age!

PedoBear:
If you be fine boy, go on bumble and pay for premium then chyke all those yt babe



Easiest to chyke are Filipinos, vietnamese etc.



If you're ugly, learn to code

That got me .


By the way, bro what's "bumble"? Does it mean my "handsomeness" is wasting away here?

pansophist:
You need am.

But if you no get money, try to hustle buy a laptop, and do one of these courses as your bargaining power to use abscond via work permit.

Before Tinubu sell you to China, use pay Nigeria debt

Hello boss, which course do you recommend I should buy that would help me? I can upgrade my laptop to 8gb...

I'm tired of working in a bakery as a 21 year old high school graduate with heavy responsibilities.

Thank you.

Pristine664:
The Portuguese on expedition in the 18th century were just having sex with their women anyhow. They were more like sex slaves in their own land. One of the reasons they still have many fair skin guys among them.

So, you mean people like me and my family are seeds of some ancient Portuguese guy?


Nawao! Stupid Igbo and Yoruba e-warriors!

Oh boy, the thread backfired but I understand the OP's point...

Rossikk:
The British were the most powerful military in the world in 1897 when they invaded Benin. They invaded everywhere they wanted, including India and China. Being military weaker than an invader doesn't mean you are not civilised. You're just militarily weaker.

By the way the British burned down Benin city and bombed it to smithereens, and there are only one or two houses existing there today that were there before the invasion, and they are tourist sites today.

Excellent reply!


By the way, so we can still find some of these ancient buildings with Benin architecture?

It's funny how they insult their own ancestors but praise Korean movies like Jumong, where they proudly incorporate some of their own history.

Their buildings were similar to the ones in the picture you shared.

reXurrectionZA:
[color=#505000] Do you even know what a civilization is? Try to feed your mind once in a while. [/color]

99% of Nigerians are "wickedly" ignorant.

Rossikk:
^^^ Benin Ciy had multi-storeyed buildings as early as the 1500s, and so it shouldn't be a surprise that they had them in 1846, 51 years before the colonial invasion.

The Benin Empire was a very sophisticated civilization.

Do you know they exchanged ambassadors with Portugal in 1504?

The Benin ambassador lived in Lisbon, Portugal in opulent settings, liaising with the Portuguese aristocracy and king, just like his Portuguese counterpart was doing in Benin.

When his tenure ended, he was replaced by a new ambassador, just as we do today!

I'm certain this happened with other nations Benin traded with, even in Africa, not just Portugal.

They might even have sent ambassadors to Igboland and to the north. Even to the Ghana and Mali Empires, and the Kongo empire of central Africa, and possibly all the way south to the Zulus.

The Benin empire prospered for a thousand years, until 1897 when the British finally overran it.

Somehow, they want to believe we were nothing before they came to "save" us. I don't want to say much but when the time comes, our ancestors will get the respect they deserve; instead of being portrayed negatively.

I keep saying that these ancient guys were far better than us but idiots attack me saying "look, they didn't make phones, and blablabla". Funny thing is there were no such technology when Europeans first met these empires.

If the Benin empire got the same opportunity Imperial Japan had, our history would have been changed forever! I was shocked that these ancient guys had ambassadors and had good relationships with Europe...

iLegendd:
Yes, extremely. Una go suffer for APC hand.

my man! Please don't deactivate...

olamilarks:
I'm back now.

Okay.

olamilarks:
Hello Bro, still in Abuja? Please drop your number! Thank you!

Hello boss.


I haven't been online for days, please send me a PM or let me know you're active now...

FinidiGeorge:
You can talk about Nigeria but can't remember how Nigeria was formed ba? You don't know that it is unjust abi? You want to destroy colonial borders but don't want to destroy colonial foundations (whatever you mean by borders anyway)? Were people not living in peace before the colonialists and the curse of merging different nations together to form one confused country which of course is artificial.

You can't put the cart before the horse and expect progress. If you want Africa unity, for example in a place like Nigeria, let's talk about our differences first which of course are unique, this will germinate respect for each tribe and nations inside Nigeria, let them realize the detriment of ignoring this and how colonialists deceived us into joining the nations together. There can now be a landing point for governance system (division into original units, regional, amendment of constitution for equal rights etc.) As for me, I'll go with the division for several reasons.

You can't fight colonialists or their systems without visiting the foundation of what they did to you and carefully undo their hands and reset the system. But when you believe you will weather and sweat it out using the alien system, you will continually fail, it's no magic! Continue to do it like this nah and call the pseudo country one Nigeria, before your very eyes, another 63 years will roll away

If the foundation was good, Nigeria wouldn't have failed in just 6 years of its establishment! 1960 - 66, and since then, it has been merry go round of stagnation.

If you think your day sucked, imagine you're this guy I just quoted — who thinks he's attacking my message but ends up saying the same thing I've been saying...

I've never been a "one Nigeria" supporter since I was 15!

I made a post here on nairaland that warned that "right-wing" parties will sweep through Europe mostly because the inhabitants are tired of the people from the lands their fathers forcefully occupied or colonized.

Don't get me wrong, this includes countries like Ireland that didn't really engage in colonialism... By the way, they were also victims of the English imperialism.

But I digress... I hope for a day that Europe will completely shut her doors so these bastards called our leaders will face the consequences of their actions and inactions. No protection from their puppeteers!

Those Western powers who continue to sabotage our efforts to take back out glory will be overran by illegal immigrants from Africa, Middle East, and South America. Globalism or whatever will be kicked into the distant future...

FuckingMachine:
7. Entitlement mentality

People born in poor homes usually believe that they are entitled to the money and possessions of the affluent ones around them.


8. Lack of Appreciation

Poor people are usually ungrateful and can go to the extent of blaming their benefactor for their woes even when they were miserable long before he/she came around.


9. Belief in Juju

Poor people relate every single positive/negative occurrence to the spiritual. They also believe success is attained by juju because they were born into a home where nothing big happened no matter the level of effort put in.


10. Competition

Poor people are highly competitive. This is because they are easily intimidated by everything. A neighbour laughing in his apartment can cause poor people to bring 3 of their lousy friends to disturb the vicinity the next day. A neighbour bringing home a chick for the night can lead to poor man bringing 3 dirty skanks for the next 3 days. The worst is you having anything they don't have. Poor people can compete against a 5KVA generator with an I Pass My Neighbour or their hire purchase Keke Marwa against a 4Runner jeep. When poor people can no longer compete they resort to gossip to try and destroy the reputation of the person they lost to.


Before you fear women, fear poor people.

Stop generalizing! You think everybody behaves like those around you? I work hard just so I can eat and one day "make it out of the hood"!

I worked hard for a man for years in the name of apprenticeship and didn't get a penny but I moved on because I got a vision and here you are, acting like you're some demigod!

tsdarkside:
igbos....??
i like bashin them....

Y'all never cease to amaze me. Anyway as long as you don't promote hate against another ethnicity. We need Africa unity and at the same time, destruction of colonial borders especially in Nigeria.

Never forget that Africa is at the bottom and "bashing" others wouldn't help "black people." I don't know why nairalanders that claim to be Igbos and Yorubas act so foolish or maybe just ignorant! Jeez!

Y'all should be ashamed that Nigeria is 63 years old but still getting worst every year! Or maybe Black Lives don't matter in Africa?

tsdarkside:
nawa....they dont value human lifes atall....

i was suspectin he is igbo....

What did Igbos do to you, sir? Besides, there's a high possibility most of these immigrants are illegal. As long as Africans continue to act foolish, their continent will continue to be at the bottom!

If not that the western powers are also responsible for our woes, I'd say all these illegal immigrants should be sent back to where they belong! Am I too nice?

PewpewS32:
Yeah... so I made my acct 2 hours ago... it's when I found this site. Have to start somewhere.

Pew

Yeah.

tsdarkside:
i wan ask you something mr pew....

Isn't it obvious?

That guy just created his account about 2 hours ago ...

HellVictorinho6:
u accusing a race

ride on!


lets see how that helps you!


u cant understand me


but i understand

Where did I accuse anyone? I'm merely pointing out that the black race has lost its glory! It is y'all's fault! Anyway, the revolution will be televised...

HellVictorinho6:
Blacks wont be replaced in that setting


So u arent making any sense here


go ahead and start eliminating all blacks!

What exactly are you saying?

I said what I said: the "black" race is a big disgrace to the name of their ancestors! Black people insult their ancestors, talking about how primitive they were but these ancient guys were way organized than us.

If the same thing that happened to Japan happened to, say, the Benin empire or arochukwu Confederate; they would have done better than us.

victory36:
Colonial borders represent a very big problem in Africa. Larger tribes put together fight each other and oppress smaller tribes constantly as well as having conflicting traditions and interests. The only successful African country since it's independence is Botswana which is a fairly homogeneous society. Until Africa redraws it's borders along tribal/ ethic lines, nothing will progress as there is no peace and harmony. Imagine Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein being in one country or France, Spain , and Portugal in one country; it's going to be chaos upon chaos. Yugoslavia fought civil wars throughout it's existence before disintegration. Look at Asia, the likes of Japan, Korea, china, Thailand are all fairly homogeneous societies.

Thank you! This is what I've been clamoring for, why would our "diversity" (which is a curse by the way) be forced on us for the interests of the Western powers and their puppets?

Sadwaste:
If they're wise, it's better to support Obi who will be pan Nigerian in his policies and reverse the terrible damages Tinubu is doing to North. Someone like Obi is not a do or die politician. He wouldn't mind ruling for one term. Even if he rules for 8 years and develops North, won't it be better than allowing Tinubu turn Nigeria into Oduduwa republic?

Do you think North will ever recover if Tinubu remains on that seat for 8 years?

You Nigerians never learn! Tell me how Tinubu or Obi as president would benefit anyone from their ethnicity? You will still come back here to yell "rigging" while other regions of the world progress!
