HRMK:
is it not nigeriansanyway, to me #food is what one culd take as meal!can u take those two as meals?no!give them their rightful names ie vegetable/soup!!

In certain discussions like this one, there is not like "to me" which permits you to give something a different meaning from what it is. I have helped you cure your

HRMK:
ewedu and gbegiri?do u call them food?u av a lot to learn!

so to you soup is not food? I am not surprise... is it not Nigerians again?

Difrent:
This is the relationship.
You are scared of my economic strength , so you introduced protectionist trade policies which you have always argued against just to reduce my power.... Then you get your friends in europe to ban and cancell orders for huawei products citing strange security concerns.......

All these are traits of dictatorship and bullying which should not be allowed f

They said China execute corrupt leaders but you stylishly ignored it while replying... how about Buhari copying that and killing himself and others along so that Nigeria can be free from their stranglehold?

Anyway, you can brag that you can tweet using vpn and other methods that can bypass vpn, good for you but Twitter influencers cant earn while brands cant use or advertise on Twitter.

Twitter make money from advertising.

Imagine, government block your debit cards from working on Twitter. That means brands won't be able to advertise on Twitter thus making Twitter lose revenue.

Twitter and Twitter influencers will close shop in 1 month.

Nigeria government have many ways to destroy Twitter.

Blocking Twitter and vpn is just one way, Twitter are losing some revenue with this ban, if government stops bank debit cards from working on Twitter, they will run away and block you from tweeting.

So who wins again? NIGERIA

Lol... I don't know how some of you are happy with what is happening. I mean, are you really human? like for real? with everything surrounding you but aimed to kill you by this same government, you are laughing?

Kai.. OMo, Jack does not need money from Nigeria. I doubt he does as much as $1M per month in Nigeria as opposed to other countries... Nigeria's purchasing power is so so low as a result of your Buhari but you are laughing abi? No worry... the evil will consume all of us before 2023 and there is no way you and your household will escape it.

HRMK:
ur personal opinion!does not mean ur right!obviously,u only take yoruba food prepared in restaurants not bukas or villages!!

Apart from Amala and Ewedu, Gbegiri, Ifokore... which other food Yoruba have? Please share.

TheSTreetman:
Thanks.. The tutorial you're about to do, is it the same with appmaster??

MAN, the boh have locked me out 6 times I tried to drop a link... I even had to find a tutorial and forward one of my domain there and it still wouldnt let me. so I am attaching the domain here. Just visit it and it will forward you to the tutorial

Moneyboyz:
I just tire bro, those people didn't pay my money till date, I bought another land and developed it and now this is happening. I finished it just 2 weeks ago.

I think you need to learn how acquire land in Nigeria.

Even from the way you are speaking, it means you might buy another bad one in the near future.

Fix up your education on property Asap cos u will likely repeat this mistakes again

Which panel? I thought they had stopped sitting. Lol.

illicit:
My problem with him is that he refuses change....



His forefathers have reasons for dressing like that then, such reasons no longer apply



Culture has never been static

that is why the White man will continue to impose their Ideology on you.

They give you Bible and took your sculptures to display in their museums, make money out it but you are here defending the total eradication of your root and tradition.

Grgton:
southern Nigeria would be better

it is just noise.. Nothing is happening. They just want to force the presidency to give them South West a chance.

Nuzo1:
Ol boy, this is by no means near a good news.

Serious countries left extractive industry centuries ago. Migrated to industrial production, then hitech production. But here we are still talking about selling raw cocoa for almost free.

You export a raw bag of cocoa at N20,000. White man refines it at the cost of N10,000. Sells the byproducts (cocoa drink, chocolate etc) at N200,000.

White man makes N170,000 profit from your N20,000 years of sweat.

Extractive production impoverishs a nation.

As a matter of urgency, we must learn to add value to our raw materials, be it gold, diamond, crude oil or cash crops like cocoa and cotton.

See, Nigerians are short sighted. They like quick money and the government also is not helping.

DamnnNiggarr:











I knew it, that thread really pained you guys,
The same way NBS has been doing with other region...
You guys should know that he who leaves in a glass house shouldn't throw stone.
It's on record that the Yourbas can't take 0.3% of the rubbish they dish out on a daily basis to other regions.
You guys should work on yourselves.

I am not Yoruba

I thought South West is the only place for hard drugs?

BlueSparks:
That's what they fail to pay attention to. Greed and the lust of wanting to overtake everyone is blinding eyes to reality

My family stay close to the area. I've told them all to run. And vacate the territory that the money people would generate would be used in treating cancer and all. I was around Ajah before.


From the hold up to the unhealthy air, I calculated the completion time of the refinery and made sure I ran as far as possible to a complete far place from that entire axis.


Before the refinery, Lagos has a highly toxic air. Now to add to it, what would be the resultant cumulative environmental impact on living, air, the Atlantic ocean, traffic etc.


Nigerians and greed are 5 and 6. Thats why Nigerians only look at Pros without looking at Cons. I ain't buying a single foot of land in that terrain. Lai lai

They should ask people in Warri and Portharcourt. They will learn. Add the sea port coming on that same axis and you have a complete chaotic atmosphere.

The air in that Ajah is unhealthy. In fact, air there hardly circulate...

Well the refinery was formally for Ondo but the then governor of Ondo state rejected it. So Tinubu asked them to come

joey150:
Crypto was never banned.

Most Nigerians cannot read, assimilate what they've read and understand it. People just follow the popular narrative if it suits their agenda, it usually does.

Nothing has changed. All CBN said was don't transact crypto through the formal banking sector.

hear yourself... lol

FatherCHRISTMAS:
Waiy till an official announcement is made.
Don't fall for /scheming

Modified....

It's been confirmed

what is confirmed? read it again. The ban is still very much active.

fergusen:
Goodluck

I burst laugh from toilet lol

Juliusmalema:
Akwaibom is simply a refuse dump..

And I enjoin this new plant to recycle everything in Akwaibom to nothingness

why must you lie? AKWA Ibom in the cleanest state you will ever find in Nigeria because the people. Of Akwa Ibom take personal hygiene very serious, even the poorest among them understand this. It's like a DNA in them.

I have been to That state on several occasion and I have lived among them too.

garfield1:
Guy,the bill does not make sense.has buhari contravened federal character in appointing the service chiefs

even for what is obvious to everyone this one is asking silly questions. Wetin concern me. Shebi na all of us dey suffer the repercussions lol

festacman:
Globally, every Head of State and Commander-in-Chief reserves the right to appoint service chiefs that are loyal to him for the preservation of the government of the day and defence of national sovereignty.

Pres. Buhari may have disregarded federal character principle in his own appointment but having an independent body appoint service chiefs is fraught with danger of political instability.

Yes, Buhari has displayed irresponsible nepotism but by this bill, Senator Abaribe displayed dangerously pregnant mischief that looks like a well-orchestrated agenda.

you APC apologist will always find a way to justify rubbish.

It will come back to haunt you sha. Worry not

Bornsinner7:
Damn..

If you win headies nobody go congratulate you..

A bunch of white people come together to organise a show where they give people a wooden piece... winning the piece doesn't make one the best.. you're only the best in the eyes of the organisers..

Bleep the Grammy's.. it is over hyped.. Eminem, jay z, Lil Wayne, Kanye West have all thrash talked about the show even though they were once winners

modified:
All these mf quoting me.. I never mentioned davido in my post neither did I say burna is a loser for winning it.. I don't do stanship.. I vibe to music I like.. carrying stanship for head are for people with low iQ.. all I'm pointing out is the way we are all celebrating the Grammy that is not even appreciated by their own people.. badboy timz, omay lay won headies but I didn't see all this accolades.. not even BET is celebrated like this

headies lost credibility cos of politics involved

etrouble:
We are watching. When it is time, we will go to the so-called prison and bring our brothers out. Then, we will send the Judge and his/her family out of Yoruba land. Just watch what we will do.

are you sure? I don't see that happening ooo else na python dance go end am.

just2endowed:
should the state have business in running e-hailing taxi business?

Is this not a misplaced priority?

na dem dem get am na... let's see how far they can go...

Jarus:
There were a lot of "urgent attention, find him for us" requests including from governments but we didn't grant the requests as they were distracting and he was preparing for GRE then. We needed him to concentrate. We were capable of getting him the scholarship (with his academic qualifications) so we ignored other requests which would have distracted him.

So from discovering him in the village to paying for his test fees to getting this US PhD scholarship for him, everything handled by Michael Taiwo and team.

Ah great... This explains it all. Thank you.

Jarus:
Thanks.

We really did not help when "when we heard of the news", we put it out to the press AFTER helping him. We only wanted to call the attention of the media to the sorry wasting talents in Nigeria, that was why we decided to reach out to the press to publicise his story. His story was exceptionally touching. At some point, we his interviewers were practically crying and the American on the panel was wondering why - she couldn't relate to the level of poverty oozing from this young man we were interviewing.

Alongside my childhood friend, Michael Taiwo, now a US-based engineer and sponsor of the Michael Taiwo Graduate School Application Scholarship, we organised a scholarship scheme in Oct last year (https://www.jarushub.com/2020-michael-taiwo-annual-gmat-gre-toefl-scholarships-application/) and he applied.

After series of screening, including tests, he was one of the finalists for the final interview stage. I was on the 3-man panel that interviewed him. It was a touching moment as we struggled to fight back tears during his interview as we got to know about his poor background. I narrated the experience in this tweet ( https://twitter.com/Jarushub/status/1324108985671274498) and Michael, my partner on the panel and the sponsor, also narrated his own here ( https://www.jarushub.com/rage-sadness-gratitude-and-hope-an-interview-to-remember/)

Of course, he was one of the 23 applicants that won the scholarship (https://www.mtscholarships.org/meet-the-winners/2020-winners/) from the over 1500 that applied (out of which over 600 made first class). The scholarship covered payment for his GRE test, English test, application fee to US schools, and as added later, payment for international passport for him.

His performance in all those tests got him this US admission with the guidance of Michael and another friend of Michael, Busayo.

That's the story.

We invited the press to cover it (not the other way round) because it was a very sorry situation - not that we heard about the case in the press and took over it.

Okay thank you. I thought I saw a tweet where someone said that they should find him for urgent attention which i translated as the genesis of his glorious miracle through you guys. I wasn't really talking about press here...or may be I am mixing things up because there was another guy with similar case.

But all the same, may God continue to bless you for all the career help you have been giving Nigerians.

We need more people like you guys cos most times, Nigerians end up not having career mentor and this tend slow their growth.

StaffofOrayan:
Because he knows your leaders are some of the most useless in Nigeria, so everyone takes a bite

exactly... but we will overcome.

Kebbiprince:
From Grass to Grace

From an Ebonyi farm to the USA. Sometimes it takes just luck to end generational poverty

Nworie has been liberated, be sure he has no business with poverty anymore

a bunch of Yoruba guys actually helped him when they heard the news. I am putting this out there for those who like to promote ethnic bigotry. and one of the people that helped him is Jarus of nairaland who owns JarusHub along with some other names I cant remember.

StaffofOrayan:
Ohhhhhh the begging is coming,
That is another prediction for you, that's how they roll, during election and when their business interests are at stake, they go deeply tribal,
The funny thing is you didn't in your wildest dream expect this to happen, even when it was glaring, maybe you did and this is all part of the game

you seems like a Yoruba man with good conscience.

Those guys are only speaking the minds of Tinubu and that is why they go tribal against Tinubu when you speak.

Since 99, I don't think any Yoruba man has been actively tribalistic against Igbos like Tinubu and he is always quick to use Igbos for sparring at the slightest opportunity which what his street urchins are displaying...

But what will be, will be.

Yoruba1stson:
Our governors are sending these amotekun men to their early graves, you want those guys to face fulani terrorists that are armed with ak47 with dane guns. Yoruba governors are the most stupid and useless in this country.
God bless yoruba nation

I am igbo but your state government are trying in terms of being proactive than what we have in the East but that does not mean they shouldn't do better.

It is just the Nigerian system at play

Fahdiga:
Who doesn't know that. northerners are hell bent on using Niger delta oil money to empower themselves in the name of paying ransom to terrorists

exactly... they always make references to Niger Delta amnesty deal.

seunmsg:
N4.75bn for what exactly? This is how government goes about enabling nonsense. Kidnapping student for ransom started like a joke and now it’s a very big monster and an unending sinkhole for government funds.

So many militia groups who ordinarily should face the full wrath of the law are now either enjoying amnesty or demanding amnesty.

Some idiots have started with food blockade and we are now appealing to them with billions of Naira. What message are we sending to people in other regions? Is this how we will be throwing billions away anytime folks in other regions start their own blockade? It is well with Nigeria.

shebi na the man una bring into power be that? so why are you crying now? You all (tinubu's stooges) were supporting him up to 2020... so what changed?
