A professor would still be earning less than 10k dollars per year
Highest a prof makes now is 600k so 900k for a professor a month in this economy is ok?

And 150k for a lecture one is ok?

Why do you want them to be paid an amount equivalent to $10k? This is Nigeria, not the U.S.

No Nigerian professor deserves more than 1m naira monthly. What do they do except lazying around and misusing research grants? Has there been any groundbreaking research by Nigerian profs in recent years? That prof is just an unnecessary title in Nigeria.

This babe is an unscrupulous clout chaser.

It's either raumdeuter has collected contract that is paying serious dough from APC, or he is just catching cruise with most of his takes here. I don't want to believe it is something else.

When you start insulting me unprovoked, it is.

And when you try to preach obesity and unhealthy living here it is.

I will always tackle you when you actively try to encourage people to do things that will shorten their lives or reduce their quality of life.

Where did I insult you?

As for bolded, I do that because everyone must die someday. No amount of such activities will make you immortal.

afrodoc2:
Stop feeling triggered whenever people mention exercise. If you no like am comot face and move on.

You have been preaching the religion of obesity here since and nobody hold you for trousers. Allow the people that want to preach exercise and healthy living to preach their own too and stop feeling persecuted.

It's not that serious.

afrodoc2:
Continue eating your 20k ogbono daily, my guy. No need to be preventatively defensive. ;


I don clock say whenever anybody mentions exercise or physical activity here you go either give the person sliding tackle or come up with a dissertation on why it is a waste of time.

Whenever they are discussing eating humongous amounts of food with assorted meats and soups though, you go always chip in happily in support and even sometimes provide pictorial evidence.

What's this? This is quite childish, this is a low.

afrodoc2:
I just saw a 71yr old patient today and she does 10km runs every 2 weeks. Meanwhile some people thigh dey seize up after a few km.

You're a professional, act like one.

The thing I hate about exercise is that you must do it forever. If you stop, whatever gains you suffered to make in years will return to zero. Complete waste of time if you ask me.

So you must be ready to do it everyday for the rest of your life if you don't want those muscles and biceps to recede.

How is someone with responsibilities to think about going to keep up with that? Even managing to do only weekends(twice weekly) won't stop the reverse to normal.

I can't delete it even I wanted to. It's the best platform to really network and learn the latest industry trends without all of the superficial megalomania of LinkedIn and the toxicity and rivalry of Facebook. Plus you get opinions without the filter of biased mainstream media with an agenda.

It's also not an echo chamber and even your nested comments get seen unlike the other two platforms.

There are X groups you can join. It takes time. It took me two years from 2020 to 2022 to really clean-up my X timeline.

The Ezra controversy almost dragged me back in but I escaped.

When almost every trending woman is a misandrist on X Nigeria and every woman is posting about putting men down, soon enough you begin to second-guess the good woman you have at home who has earned the admiration you shower on her. If you're not careful, you treat her harshly till it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

If you find such issues, just copy the X link, read in incognito mode, note the lessons to be learnt like the ones I learnt about the whole of FemCo tumbling during Ezra's unraveling then move on. Don't interact with your account so such toxicity never turn up on your timeline.

If it can truly be filtered it'll be enjoyable, I agree but I've not been able to do so. That networking aspect and the fact that when you open the app you hardly need to talk because most times people already said what's on your mind as if they're reading your thoughts.

DissTroy:
He's not - he's just the stereotypical Nigerian politician who can't survive long enough without personal political patronage and goodwill.

The same thing is playing out at state level if you are involved in such things.

Any politician or activist who has no veritable source of income which can survive without political patronage is a commodity trumpeting himself/herself enough for attention to be bought. The meet at events every weekend and embrace.

It's the rest of us who are naive cursing out ourselves and burning bridges for them, ignoring the issues which matter.

You and I can't swear Obi, Tinubu, Atiku, Kwankwaso, and Emir Sanusi haven't spoken to each other this year; even more than once since that Trump declaration in October.

Factos.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Happy new month to y'all.
I no dey see Agbado FC with their usual slogan.. @
"The government will favor me & my family"

Whether APC, PDP, LP, PDAPC, PDADC e choke for everybody.

Actually, this government don favour people. They might have had dough during PDP days but they are not doing worse now.

Personally, I believe government of the day doesn't determine how your life turns out. Anybody depending on government policies to be successful is setting himself up for failure.

You need to get to a stage where irrespective of the government in power, you wouldn't have much issues.

DissTroy:
Best thing is to change Twitter location and mute certain words and people. There's too much gender toxicity going on on X Nigeria, and everyone who gets too involved gets torched eventually. Everyone.

Even changing the country and muting words/people hardly solve the problem. At a point, I deleted the app entirely.

DissTroy:
It's all content for most parts, and it will get worse with how the GehGeh guy became an internet sensation almost overnight and amassed wealth in a short period of time.

Scandals and controversies involving these hardcore gender warriors have shown they don't believe or practice what they preach. It's just part of being a tribe.

Ozzy Etomi, Mochievious, GehGeh (a serial baby father who brags about children with multiple 4 women who also funds the women's lifestyles now), Solomon Buchi, and so on on X.

The scandals on Facebook and more.

You have to be logical in love and marriage, but to the point where you treat a good woman or man like trash to prove you're the prize or something?

If they knew all the answers, how come they aren't in loving relationships/marriages?

Scandals have shown the feminists groveling at the feet of men, and the hardcore 'manists' actually tolerating the excesses of their women.

Best thing is to change Twitter location and mute certain words and people. There's too much gender toxicity going on on X Nigeria, and everyone who gets too involved gets torched eventually. Everyone.

We should be careful about throwing the word "wealth" around. Before you can be said to be wealthy, you should have at least 15bn and above, I doubt gehgeh has such money. There's a difference between a rich man and a wealthy man.

As for Solomon buchi, the guy really surprised me. Back in those days when he was coming up newly, I was following him before he even got up to 1k followers, I no know weytin happen, the guy change immediately he see foreign based woman wey gree follow am do 50/50. 2015-2018 was really the apex of feminism rave. It kinda looked serious back then.

He used equality to enter those foreign based naija women anyhow, to the point they were even paying his bills and all as at those 2016-2018, then he switched to traditional system claiming feminism is against his religious beliefs and started acts that he would've have labelled "controlling" previously, if someone else did them.

His takes in recent years always make me wonder if it is possible for human nature to truly stay consistent. Sometimes it feels like people simply remain the way they are until they find the opportunity to be something different.

Disstroy, NG Twitter is done. I’ve muted half the timeline already, I'm tired. If they’re not recycling the same tired gender wars, they’re busy platforming extremist content up and down the timeline.

Imagine doing gender war in 2025, something we retired from over seven years ago. When will people realize there are bad eggs in every gender, no gender is 100% good.
The toxicity on that app is on a different level entirely.

Anybody earning that amount monthly has no business being in a relationship talkless of marriage. Too much misplaced priorities in this country.

Wait oh, dem dey force anybody to buy the ticket? If you don't have money, going to concerts should be the least of your priorities na.

Just like the official salary of the president is about 3m monthly. If you believe ambassadors only make that amount I have a country to sell to you.

afrodoc2:
I think I said it earlier that this was one of core reasons behind their stance.

They are very brainless. Very similar to those who were angry that Nnamdi Kanu got convicted. They are happy to allow their region get destroyed just because of some misguided pursuit of equity and justice.

Which justice? Let's be serious please.
Anyone daring to equate Niger Delta militants with those bloodthirsty northern terrorists is either living under a rock or deliberately high on cheap propaganda.

Nigeria cannot survive without the ND. Those boys down south were fighting a legitimate cause, their rivers turned to crude soup, their fish belly-up, their environment was degraded , while the rest of the country siphons the funds from the oil, meanwhile the people that own the oil were hardly benefiting much from it. That’s not terrorism, that’s a people saying “enough is enough” to daylight robbery.

Meanwhile, the parasites up north, the same ones who contribute little beyond dust, cattle, and chaos, suddenly discover the gospel of “one Nigeria” every time the tap threatens to run dry. Funny how the loudest preachers of unity are always the ones with empty plates and loaded guns.

They need to know their place very well: perpetual dependents clutching the national cake with both hands while screaming “we are all brothers.” Brothers kee you there. Some brothers produce the food, others just chop and still get mouth to shout.
So miss me with the false equivalence. One side fought to breathe in their own backyard.
The other kills, kidnaps, and burns villages for sport and supremacy. That so called leader should call a spade a spade and stop insulting our intelligence.

There are 2 types of fashion stores one has to think twice about before entering.

1) The one that has few customers inside and none of the display items has a price tag

2) This one is very crucial. The one that has someone at the door serving complimentary champagne to customers as they go in……and no one is going in.

You suppose don big pass to dey ask or find price up and down na. Na who no funds go dey ask how much is this how much is this before he go pick stuff. If you no dey fear say you no fit pay you no go brother yourself.

Abi na only your mentees you dey splurge for.

Izzou what did you think happened here?

Sometimes this are necessary evil because at the same time you are funding terrorism.

Thank God they are back safe.

"Thank God they're back safe"

Why did the God allow them to be kidnapped in the first place? Religious people annoy me man.

Did anybody threaten Seun into adding those modifications to the bot? Seems likely.

I miss the days when you could say your mind freely on this platform.
These days you can't even call people what they truly are anymore. It's giving pre-elon musk twitter vibes.

afrodoc2:
He is probably not only a collaborator but an instigator.

DSS were inviting Obadiah malaifa almost on a monthly basis because he said government officials are complicit in the insecurity plaguing the country, according to DSS the man was instigating people against the government with that speech. Within a year they silenced the man permanently.

Is Gumi not instigating people against the government with his utterances so far? This is the problem people like spy30 were complaining about, they claim Nigeria is one country but the law differs for people depending on their region. If the law can't be implemented for everyone, there's no point implementing it for anybody.

Imagine you're in a plane and you hear "Allahu Abkhar".

The fear of height vs the fear of our peaceful brothers, I wonder which will succumb to whom.

BlueRayDick:
Where u see Allahu Akbar in the video na ? 🤷‍♂️

Wasn't referring to the video. Didn't even click on the link.

I was just using a well renowned phrase our very peaceful brothers always use.

BlueRayDick:
See better crashing out with Liverpool accent 😂

Allahu Abkhar

Any insecurity that lasts more than 24 hours, it's because the government is allowing it - Abacha.

1/10 of the things happening in these northern states didn't happen in rivers state before bat declared state of emergency in rivers state.
Raumdeuter dropped lots of epistles then on why that was necessary. I wonder if he'll be gracious enough to tell us why bat hasn't declared state of emergency in the north?

Or could it be that Tinubu values southern lives more than northern lives? Afterall there's a reason one group of people are always preaching unity and one Nigeria.
It's a pity SS leaders don't have balls.

DSS can track people that insult government officials online but they can't track terrorists. They(the terrorists) are no longer hiding sef, they're openly daring the Nigerian government to do their worse.

I've been reading statements from US officials saying they're working with Nigerian government officials on the matter, and I have nothing but pity for them. Whatever intelligence they share with Nigerian officials will amount to nothing.

Y'all can see how the northerners react to this matter. To them this is a matter of religion. I've said it before that the problem in the north is purely an ideological problem, there's nothing the US or anybody can do about it. It's not too late, state governments in the south bordering northern states better start closing their borders before those terrorists slip into the south, and start rampaging here.

This is the best time to divide this country, but these southern leaders are playing useless sepuku politics.

BlueRayDick:
Freedom of speech that involves making statements that frustrate efforts of the federal government in combating terrorism.

Weldone sir!

Una never ready at all.

Why are they avoiding your question on why Obadiah malaifa was arrested? Or were they not old enough to read news at the time?

The former deputy cbn governor said government is complicit in the insecurity plaguing the country and DSS started harassing him claiming he was inciting the public against the government. It didn't take long before they silenced him permanently.

The moneozi guy claims to be a Christian, but he's always at the forefront of defending Muslims, terrorists, and all sorts of ills in this country. Even me that is not a religious person, defends the people he claims to be one of them more than him.

This country dey make person talk too much mehn. And if you're complaining about the rubbish too much some will think you're not doing fine that's why you're complaining, some like raumdeuter will call you a wailer, meanwhile they're enjoying the dividends of good governance overseas. I'm on it sha, can't keep talking about Nigeria matter forever.
