I'm not Catholic oh.

I am.

Davido - Aza.

I like that song.

Happy ash Wednesday

makemoneywbsite:
1. Bad and incompetent leadership?

2. Bad structure?

Would men like Chairman Mao or Thomas Sankara have made a difference leading Nigeria?
Would the people have started prospering if this is a minimum of 3 independent countries?

Is the problem mainly leadership or mainly structural?

Bad Structure

I experienced something like this in the village during my secondary school days. There was this land that nobody was farming on; it was just there, and it was big. I inquired and was told that the owners no longer lived close by.

I found them and told them that I wanted to use it, and they agreed. So, I started clearing, cutting, and burning. I began farming before the first rain came (Yam farmers can relate). I also hired laborers, and we worked tirelessly there. The ground was so fertile that no fertilizer was needed, and the harvest was the talk of the town.

I harvested the yams and spent all evenings tying them on stakes in the barn.

Then, I woke up one morning, and the whole thing was burnt down overnight.

A woman informed me in the morning, she was in tears. I went there, saw it, and then returned home to get ready for school. I came back very late in the evening, and my mom gave me a bundle of cash.

From what?

Well, people who saw how hard I worked decided to eat yam that day whether it was on the menu or not. Everybody was just buying. Word spread to the next village, and they came to buy; they bought everything.

I never knew I was that loved.

Water is life

aswani:
No he most definitely is not.

He achieved so much that Ndi Anambra were dragging him all over Social media until he went to steal someone's mandate in the Labour Party after Atiku had chanced him and Wike out of th PDP post.

And Tinubu achieved so much in Lagos that he lost woefully to a loser from Anambra.

EreluRoz:
It's sad you still think Obi is what Nigeria needs now. You obviously don't have an idea of the mess.

It's revolution or nothing

I am not interested in what Nigeria needs.


I just want you to admit that you had a better choice in the last election.


Nigeria can hang for all I care.

Judgementa1:
Everyone one way or the other contribute to these mess we find ourselves in.

And from what I observed Nigerian prefer foreign made goods over the local ones.

Reason why our local manufacturers e.g Innoson and co are struggling to break free.

How do we make gains if we continue in this path

Lets hope things get better.

Your observation is incorrect. Why buy local when the price difference is barely noticeable? For instance, when a mudu of local rice was N500, the foreign one was N550 to N600 at most. So why buy local?

Imported tomatoes were cheaper than Dangote's locally made ones. Why?

That is the question people need to ask. If the government puts the right policies in place, stops multi-taxing producers, provides electricity, and other necessary resources, once there is ease of doing business, the local products will be too cheap to ignore.

People who will patronize Innoson are those who can afford new cars, which is like less than 5% of Nigerians.

If the price difference between the local and foreign is not significant, we will opt for foreign. But if it is too attractive to ignore, then we will have no option but to opt for local.

We know why the local products are too expensive.




EreluRoz I believe you can learn a few things about Obi here.

Eunoiaa:
Roz is very fond of throwing stones and hiding her hands.


I don't even know why she thinks creating this thread will do anything. Or maybe she knows it wouldn't change anything.


The majority of other bulaba supporters have kept quiet. I mean, maybe there are still here and I don't see them, but on the topics that hit FP from the politics section I've seen, I don't see them again. Them omen.ka, seun.msg, and co.


I'm sure they would have been collecting right and centre too if people are still seeing them.

Na because na you dem dey see, and dey know watin you do for the campaign period, that is why you're an easy target to hold responsible.

She legit set herself up for dragging by creating the thread.

If she genuinely does not want to be tagged on posts then I wish they could stop, not like tagging her will change anything. she hasn't repented neither is she sorry.

But if nah attention she dey find then lucky her.

EreluRoz:
Let's put all that behind us and keep praying for God's intervention.

But I was not the only one that supported asiwaju, each time I log in I see countless mentions and they are all about Tinubu and situation of the country and it's very sad for me.

You and I know that such prayers do not work so I will waste not my time on it.


God cannot do for a man what he has already empowered him to do, know this and you will work more and pray less.


Catholics have been praying for Nigerians in distress since before my father was born yet no levels.


They will get tired of tagging you and give up if you ignore them and stop trying to justify supporting Tinubu.

EreluRoz:
Ok, I just don't want to be called out again, that's all.

If I had the power, I would easily grant you that wish.

I don't know you well enough to hate or like you, so there's no bad blood.

The truth, however is that if Tinubu was doing fine, you would be the one opening threads and disturbing us.

But still, I wish they could stop. We all deserve whatever peace we can get in this messed up nation

EreluRoz:
I supported Tinubu after comparing him with the three major contestants. All were once governors of their respective states and we read remarks about them. Obi's remark was horrible, we all know atiku and so I was left with no choice than to support the best among the contestants.

Revolution is the only true change that can help the country.

People should stop blaming me for supporting him afterall nobody had an idea of how deep the mess was.

If Obi was in power and things didn't change, will I single out an obidient and begin to heal blames on him?

Revolution or nothing

Obi is way ahead of Tinubu.

I challenge you again, as I did back then.

Pick a thread of your choice. Let's list and compare their achievements in office, taking into account the condition of their respective States when they started and when they left. If you win in the end, I will open a thread to apologize. But if I win, you will do the same.

overall90:
Oga you are still far from redemption.
How was Tinubu the best among all the contestants? How?
Let's even agree for the sake of argument that Tinubu did wonders in Lagos between 1999 and 2003, but the Tinubu that contested the 2023 election is old,sickly and showed very obvious signs of cognitive dissonance, not once but on several occasions.
Tinubu refused to debate, was always speaking out of tune,on one occasion,he licked a microphone when asked to test it,so what are you talking about.
You all know that Tinubu was the least qualified but supported him because of parochial interest so you all have to live with it.

Imagine voting for someone in 2023 based on their performance 24 years ago. It's not like he was in his 40s then. There's a reason footballers are compared in their prime, and there's a reason people retire.

If you interview Pete Edochie today, you might start losing respect for him after watching the interview simply because he has aged and will sound and act differently. Simply put, he is no longer the man you knew.

Obi was there, granting interviews, citing examples of his achievements as a governor, and urging people to verify them. But since you can't find any fault in him, you decided to hate him because of his supporters, as if it was his supporters who would run the nation.

The only time the other one granted interview abroad, he was just pointing people to answer the questions.

Tinubu was voted in for the silliest reasons.

He built Lagos, a former capital.
He has the master plan.
He brought others who performed.
He is Yoruba.
He is Muslim.
He helped my father.

None of these reasons are based on his ability to bring change or at least steer us in the right direction

EreluRoz:
Yes I did but is it wrong to have supported him? Are we not at liberty to make a choice? Is any of them better going by their past records.

Each time I log in, I see countless mentions and most of them are on president Tinubu's case, how is it my fault that things got this way? Instead of them to be embracing the idea of revolution they are here dishing blames

We warned you that things would go this way but you refused to listen. Now the entire nation is in pain. So, why are you surprised that people are blaming you for bringing untold hardship upon them?

Personally, I won't go around tagging you or anyone to any post, but I won't fault people who do. I remember telling you that you would regret your choice within one year but you swore that you wouldn't. That's why I'm even replying to you today. Despite all the glaring evidence that the person you voted for is a failure, you still seek flimsy and illogical excuses to justify your thoughtlessness.

Now, tell me, what exactly did Tinubu say during the campaign that made you vote for him? Bulaba? Town hall? What exactly?

And stop angering us further by saying that nobody could have performed better than Tinubu; it doesn't make any sense. Own up to your mistake, admit that you messed up, and stop defending Tinubu. People will stop tagging you in posts.

The more you try to justify the mistake you made during the election, the more people will tag you in posts to show you how messed up your choice was. It's common sense.

Congratulations... E no easy to get a val.

May una love grow stronger every day.

Next time you are eating, try to get a separate plate for your water or just carry it in your hand.

Or better still, pour it into a cup.

As clean as the environment may be, keeping water on the bare floor is not okay

folake4u:
Yes, e go pain me. But at least, I hit you back.

See pettiness.

Don't worry, nobody will hit anyone

folake4u:
Lol, I don sha tell you.

Good morning to you.

Reason I laughed is because if you hit me, nah you hand go still pain.

ThierryJay:
Konjified Trespassing

So, what will they be charged with?

Having sex when not fully unclothed?

Having sex when the nation is mourning Access CEO and AFCON loss?

Having sex without local government permit?

Or what?

folake4u:
I don clear you now.

Nah that my hand kuku no dey pain me dey make me laugh.



Good morning.

NIanalyst:
The stupidity there is having to convincingly make ones interpretation on a subject matter that you're not fully informed on. It's normal if every human nags but who told him she nags? That she has frustrated the young man? She is quarrelsome?[b] If you need these details, you'll ask. [/b]You don't just judge issues with your own warped assumptions. It's the way he made these claims for me as if he had listened to the entire story and from both parties. So peculiar.

So why didn't you ask him how he came to that conclusion before calling it stupid?

NIanalyst:
This is blatantly stupid.
I understand she didn't specifically write about the real cause of their misunderstandings but for you to now boldly interpret her words in your own fickle mind and convincingly made claims you are not aware of is just too stupid.
I'm not saying she doesn't nag or that your acclaimed young man isn't frustrated but please tell us; where did get these details from? Are you the younger brother or a neighbor? Pray tell.

And yet you called him stupid?

Don't stay where you are not wanted.

In Nigeria, there are more good ladies than bad ones, with about 65% being good. However, the bad ones often make more noise, and our minds tend to focus on the negative, making it seem like good girls are disappearing

That is your punishment for forgiving her after her she cheated. If you forgive a woman for infidelity, particularly when she did not anticipate such leniency, she is likely to punish you for it.

Strafudeen:
If a woman likes you, don't reason it too much.

It's not you she likes, it is how she feels at the moment that she is responding to.

On this I totally agree

A woman is an adult and reasons like one. She can run chains of businesses, head institutions, run a family, govern a state, put up with our garbages, and even date six of you and still make each of you feel special and convinced that you are the only one. If you know what it takes to do that, then you will give them some respect.

The real problem is that men thought that women are incapable of logical thinking. Women, being smart, capitalized on that and started doing things the way they do. Since men have convinced themselves that women act like kids, why not just act like one? Win-win for them: they get to do what they like, and you can't even blame them since it is a woman's nature.

There is no such thing as a woman's nature; we men created it. Women find it suiting and well, keyed in. Consider all the laws around the world that are anti-men — who made them? Men.

So no, the problem is not women; we are.

As a man lays his bed, so shall his woman lie on it.

If you want to be manipulable, women will finish you. If they can't manipulate you, many will leave, but you will enjoy whoever stays.

Learn to hold women accountable

tuzle:
since ur brother sold it to them, u should first hold ur brother responsible. Let us look at it this way, ur brother could have told them lies that u traveled out of the country and u were selling ur things or any other sweet lie that would have made them buy it and since he is related to u, it would have been hard for them not to believe the lie. Ur brother can't just steal from u and disappear and instead of finding the criminal u are more focused on retrieving ur panel at their own loss. When u find ur bro this case will be solved easily.

Let's say you bought a car, then it got stolen, and you luckily see someone using it. You confront the person, and in their defense, they claim they bought it from someone else. You still have all your papers intact. Will you have them arrested, or will you wait until they provide the person that sold it to them?





One thing I learned from this thread is that there are a lot of thieves on nairaland.

folake4u:
God forbid oh.

GloriousGbola:

Also what kind of lash are we talking about here? Long or short strokes?

Why do I have this feeling that the lash in your post and the one in mine aint the same?

folake4u:
Wickedness in highest places.

Lol. Even in the midst of storms, somehow I still laugh. And I pray laughter never cease from my life cos it makes my face bloom.

The world really needs laughter.

You be redpiller? Hian. Sorry. Dey your dey abeg.
