PapalsBull:Even if naija is carved up into deferent countries, is it not the same people? Let me redirect you to the same question I asked blueray earlier; Are you assuming if the British didn't form Nigeria, the countries that would've came out would've been some sort of Eldorado better than the present Nigeria? |
https://www.nairaland.com/8744756/apc-national-chairman-embarks-2-week See people that have evolved. I have not read of the leaders of the major parties in Japan going to Europe for vacations or healthcare. We are equal with them, but no African president can take treatment in the entire African continent, they always run somewhere else even something as little as headache. What a joke. That Tinubu, and I, are both humans doesn't mean I should delude myself that we are on the same level. Patriotism and Pan-Africanism shouldn't be based on sentiments. |
APC should call their thugs to order. Obi's calmness is the only thing keeping his followers at bay, and they're growing impatient with his too much gentleness. Heck, some left him because he's too gentle, in their own words. I hope they intruct their thugs not to do more than blocking his convoy, because if the man gets harmed, it won't be funny, I doubt he(Obi) would even be able to calm his supporters, if he get harmed by thugs linked to APC. |
Theflint1:I suppose buy you drink for this response. Well said without sentiments. |
sconp:Gbam! Thumbs up. There are still some archaic 16th century customs being practiced in some parts of present day Nigeria, and some people believe we would've evolved culturally without the involvement of the whites. Lmao. Without the whites, Africa would still be in the 14th century in terms of traditions/lifestyle, technology, infrastructure etc. |
BlueRayDick:I wonder if Ethiopia that wasn't colonized is a first world country now. For the last part, you're assuming if they didn't create the current Nigeria, the countries that would've formed would've been some eldorado? There's no proof that if separated, we won't be like Cameroon and niger etc, it's still the same people.Colonizers are not Nigeria's problem, but Nigerians themselves. I don't believe in that victim mentality when the people(Colonizers) actually upgraded Africans lives, if you look at it without sentiments. |
Bless the day the British entered naija sha. Assuming the white men didn't come, some people on this thread might've been sacrificed by their king because rain didn't fall for 2 months. ![]() SS/S carriers were mislabeled as "ogbanje" . Incompatible people get married and bear children with the SS trait, and some people thought it was some evil spirit "ogbanje", sacrifices had to be done back in the day. Even in the 80s ignorant folks still believed in it . Better exposure washed the name away in the 90s. Or should I talk about killing of twins? The whites might have many problems, but you have to give them their regards. Who pass you pass you. |
Nick Shirley should be careful. With the way he has been exposing fraud in Democrat states, the Dems must be digging to find any dirt they can stick on him. He should avoid women this period, because that is the surest way to get to him. Just convince or pay off any girl he has had anything with, to accuse him of rape or sexual assault, and nobody will listen to him again. |
Skimpledawg:Noticed it this morning. Seun must be bored once more and implementing nonsense ideas. Shey font is nairaland problem right now |
Kimbeast:Thanks for responding to him. There's absolutely no excuse for selling your votes. |
raumdeuter:Tbh, all the married men I know cheat. The ironic thing is how aggressively married people pressure others to join the institution, making you think they actually hold it sacred. While faithful husbands obviously exist, they are a rare minority, if you check 100 married men, you'd find out only 1 is faithful to his wife, it's that bad. But they threaten fire & brimstone when they catch their wives cheating, just like Frank Edoho was wailing about Chike fvcking his wife, meanwhile he's a serial cheat himself. I don't know if it's just me, but I belong to the school of thought of it's better not to get married, than to get married and not be committed. What's the point of the marriage if you don't want to commit to that person? People allow societal pressure, or should I say peer pressure, "others are doing, so I must also do" , make them rush into marriage, only to start cheating with reckless abandon. It's disgusting. |
Spy360:This daily wailing no dey tire you my bro? You're just wasting your time. If Nigerians wanted the status quo to change, they would've stopped selling their votes a long time ago, but they haven't, that should tell you they don't want the current system to be changed. Even in the recent anambra gubernatorial elections, the electorate sold their votes for malt and 2k naira. You think people like that will allow you usher in a new system? Unfortunately, they constitute the majority of the voting population in this country. |
The number of married men that don't cheat in Nigeria might not be up to 1000. |
Zlatan is most likely a billionaire in naira. |
bolu96:Surely, the wait won't be long. ![]() |
True. |
Silk is everlasting. Silk can hold for a decade. All those cheap emulsion, acrylic emulsion etc won't last more than few years, it's those ones that you'd need to repaint every year or two. |
raumdeuter:Are you serious |
If you're not buying shares worth at least 5m and above, avoid Nigerian shares/stocks. You won't make any profit. |
raumdeuter:For the first point, with the kind of traction Regina Daniels had around the period of time in question (2018-2019), I refuse to believe she wasn't making up to 50 million naira annually, or I should frame it better; I refuse to believe that she didn't have the potential to earn up to that amount annually even if she wasn't already earning that figure at that point in time. For the second point, this is possible, which means they live above their means. Before she married Ned was she using PJ though? |
raumdeuter:But what is the problem, they must either be living above their means or don't know how to properly leverage their fame. Regina Daniels had so much potential that I find it amusing when people say she married for money, she had the potential of being able to make more than 50m yearly from acting, ambassadorial deals, and influencing, but I guess that was not enough for her or she wanted to run away from the rat race. I'll go with the opinion that the female celebs live above their means hence the need for men to fill the void. |
semid4lyfe:Yeah. I pity people who allow what they see on social media influence them. |
This Regina Daniels drama has made me realize most of these female celebs are broke, despite the lifestyle they show off on sm. Most of them cannot survive without men. |
Gboss247:$15b is over 17 trillion naira. |
To be fair we need a defense budget of at least $15b for our military to be functional and be able to fight current threats properly. My problem with this country is Nigeria is not making enough money to live first world lifestyle true, but why are elected officials then squandering the "little" one we have on irrelevant things, instead of using everything we currently see to upgrade the country both in terms of infrastructure, economy, HDI etc? @nairalanda1 @raumdeuter |
A bag of cement is 13k here. |
SOZINN: ![]() |
Ibime:His father couldn't stop Adeleke from being rigged out during the 2018 rerun though.. |
I don't trust shares from Nigerian companies. Waste of money if you ask me. |
BlueRayDick:I'm with you on this. |
Bolt has captured their market. |
izzou:Nigerian politics is just somehow. An LGA chairman is the equivalent of Mayor in the US. We've seen mayors being 100% against the governors in their state, and yet the Governors can't "sack" them. We copied the US system, but we are practicing it up side down. Governors wives choose HOA and HOR candidates in Nigeria, an aberation that most Americans would find hard to accept if they were told. The people don't decide who their leader will be via primaries but through... The kind of things the president of Nigeria do here, if Trump take only 20% of such actions even his base maga will lead the rallies for his impeachment. Anyways, Nigerians seem okay with the current set up because most hope to be the one in power someday and continue the status quo. Like Pdpguy said, a lot of Nigerians prefer the dysfunctional state Nigeria is in. Nigeria is just like boarding schools those days that you needed to get to ss2 to start enjoying any iota of peace. Jss 1 — SS1 is serious suffer, but you hardly see anyone complain because they want to become seniors and continue the suffering on the junior classes. |
There's no proof that if separated, we won't be like Cameroon and niger etc, it's still the same people.
