or may be you were born in 2012.

If the country was great, Jonathan won't lose the election.

Use your head even if you are a kid

My dear , I don't know or blame you and your uncouth response.
It's becoming a noticeable pattern for many Millennials and Gen'Z s on nairaland not to understand how to communicate effectively especially in public.
We can communicate more effectively without such misunderstanding and tantrums.
Take care and God bless

Where is the open grazing route gazette Buhari asked Malami to produce? Truth is that Southern Nigeria can never be intimidated by the Fulani.

Even as we speak , the intimidation is still ongoing .
Until the West extend a real handshake accross the Niger to the East (or vice versa) the North will continue to rule and intimidate the south -subtly and openly

DIKEnaWAR:
Are you talking about content and quality here?

See, acting is an imitation of life on stage. In the Igbo society we make money - plenty of it- and lavish it on what we fancy. Nollywood promotes the Igbo society and Igboness, because we own the industry. Mind you, I am not talking about the Igbo movie industry. We are talking mainstream nollywood.

You critised the message they pass? Isn't Yoruba movie industry about juju and snatching of spouses? We all reflect our societies in our movies. You also seem to forget there is Kannywood for our brothers in North, whose focus is marriage. That is their society.

Take note - you are an igbo hater, and don't have to be Igbo or Yoruba. You dislike nollywood because Igbos hold sway there, but praise Yoruba movie industry for promoting their culture, forgetting there is an igbo movie industry that promote our culture too.

Truth and cognitive dissonance hurts most times ... So when did speaking the truth become a sign of beign an Igbo hater ?
I have many friends that are Igbo, love the Igbo spirit of hard work , commerce and independence... But that doesn't mean I won't share my opinion or speak the truth about things when the opportunity arises ...
An honest effective research will reaveal to you what I just said.
Igbo amaka.
Otitodiri Jesu!

Lilimax:
Not! I feel the marriage didn't work cos she married a Polygamist??

Thanks for your reply , but I'm not saying what I feel.
I am saying what I experienced first hand a few years apart - no need going into more details ...(no one is perfect) but we must be responsible for our actions and inactions.

Support a man who has never lost an election.. support a man who turned Lagos state to the best state presently in Nigeria.

Lagos has already been ahead of the entire country when it was made a British colony...long before it was merged with the western region .
Long before Nigeria s independence.
Long before it became the country's capital .

BAT sure has his positive influences on Lagos but pls let's refrain from spreading falsehood ...BAT didn't make Lagos what it is today ...

This is not to say we should or should campaign / vote for our choice .
Let's just keep facts sacred .
Thanks and remain blessed .

Nigerian veteran singer Onyeka Onwenu has opened up about the difficulties she faced in her failed marriage.

The music star made this known during a chat with Kikilomo Atanda-Owo on her show “Real Talk with Kike.”

https://i0.wp.com/mediarants.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/A94621AA-6369-4DE8-AAF7-C1865E203759.jpeg?resize=728%2C653&ssl=1

She hammered on how much she tried to make her marriage work until she could no longer manage the situation.

““I went through it. It was difficult because I really didn’t want my marriage to end but I could not take it anymore. It would have killed me. I always say and that is the truth,” she said.

She also revealed that she singlehandedly raised her children from nursery school till they bagged their masters degree.

“And it was not good for the children to live in that kind of environment where the mother is depressed, the mother is carrying the weight of the whole family. I raised my children from kindergarten to Masters Degree,” she added.

Onwenu is a Nigerian singer/songwriter, actress, human rights activist, social activist, journalist and politician.

She recently released her book ‘My Father’s Daughter‘ which highlights her successful music career.

On the media she is a saint and perfect model ...off it , she is an extremely proud over consious female (I know this because I encountered her nasty behavior 2ice in different situations) I still love her music but detest her character ...
No man will marry such a woman for long ...very cocky and proud woman!

2 baba ur preek no dey stey one place werey...akuya

Wake up ! African prick was not designed to stay in one place ...

How can you be against polygamy and ignore homosexuality? No be Oyimbo juju dey worry youna so ?

Let me ask a question ...why do most Nigerian females gravitate more towards players , wicked , hard guys etc and see loyal , decent , responsible guys as "Weak" ? When you can honestly answer that question, we will continue the discussion.
Make una free 2face aberg ...

He has finally gone to meet the mammy water that appeared to him. She really tried to wait all these years for him to be reunited with her for all eternity.

Imagine wat Buhari has turned Nigeria to? Kim Jong-un of North Korea is not as clueless, myopic nd wicked as this. Buhari nd his goons re simply Talibans.

Northern Muslim Presidents re always tyrannical nd dictatorial, from Babangida, Abacha to Buhari. Wat a shame.

Musa Yar Adua was not .
Neither was Abdusalam Abubakar.
What we need in Nigeria is truth, love ,peace . Not Tribal or Ethnic or religious sentiments.
Be the change you seek ...
Shalom my friend .
God bless

Jonathan does not have any good name..

Nigeria was in shambles during Jonathan too. It’s not as if he did anything better..

Infact, he’s the worst president PDP ever produced!

LoL. How can you say this with the current realities in Nigeria is staring at everything and everyone ?

Wike is finished if Secondus gets reelected as national chairman. it will happen like Oshomole and Obaski

No o! Oshiomole and Obaseki was a different issue ...
Not only did Oshiomole need resetting, Edolites needed to send a strong signal that "Edo no be Lagos"

SmartPolician:
South South states are so rich and should be miles ahead of almost all the states in Nigeria in terms of infrastructure, education, and economy. Unfortunately, the region is a constant reminder that having money is not enough. Instead, accountable and prudent management of resources mean everything in governance.

How many percent did your country give them ab initio taking cognizance that they're the goose that lays the golden egg. Now it has been reduced to 3 percent thanks to the PIB.
Meanwhile , if this Oyel was in Kano or Sokoto , do you think the same would have been the case ?

Buhari's son will definitely reap all the atrocities that his father have committed in full measure, pressing down, shaking together and running over.

No longer shall the sons suffer for the sins of their fathers ...check your Bible Mr .

The olu is an overrated title. A king of not more than 250k people.
Wonder why they're adding "of warri" to his title when there are other Kings with much bigger kingdoms in same warri.
Baba must have been carried away by the hocus-pocus blazing momentarily.

Kindly list the others with much bigger kingdoms ...
Thanks

Abbey117:
There is this lady who recently joined our organization. She caught my attention but I wanted to take things slow. Later I got to know that my other colleague at work had already spoken to this lady and they had been having serious romance. I had to cut off every affections though the lady in question and I later became best friends.

Fast forward to the present day, they broke up and the babe had been trying to gather herself. I cunningly asked her if she could work things out with the guy but she bluntly said no.

The issue here now is that I've been developing serious affection for her again though during our chats before their breakup I had told her I developed feelings for her but my other colleague was faster than I in approaching her of which she said I should have told her about it.

This lady ticks every boxes I want in a woman.

Kindly advice me...

She ticks every box like you said ....so what other advise do you need ?

tempest01:
PR after RUGA committee listing. This man has probably been informed to make RUGA a realization in the south and STAND a chance to be supported by the cabal for presidency.

Hand your people over to murderers for your personal ambition. Killers and murderers the state refuses to tackle, you want to spread them all over the south for subjugation. This is what some people mean when they say "they will not fail". They have failed in all indices except tribal enthronement. This is the last play before 2023. Southerners resist this with all your might and being, don't let people sell you off to be slaughtered for their personal ambition you will not benefit from. Save your civilization.

No pls ....this is not necessary....
Follow the tenets of your faith of the religion you practice and let love lead.
Stay blessed

Sirjamo:
The only sacrilege here is not going through the palace of the Oba to get his approval.

There's nothing wrong in having a Sultan for the Shuwa migrants in Edo. I know Benin people will have a traditional head in Borno, since Igbo have igwe and Yoruba have a Kabiesi.




I AM DONE TALKING

Thanks for your point but kindly let me add these:
Having a head is different from coronarion...
Coronation is what they are about to do...Edo are hospitable and already have many tribes in peaceful coexistence ...

Ask yourself these questions:
Why was the Edo state traditional council not alerted?
Do Fulanis and Hausas not have communities in Edo state and leaders too ? What is with a coronation when there is an existing monarch ...

Synord:
The Nigerian Music Industry is one of the biggest and largest in the world. There is an estimated one hundred thousand recording artistes/musicians in the country and daily music releases of not less than 100 songs. Music Fridays in Nigeria culminate in the release of almost 1000 songs. One major goal of Nigeria’s numerous artistes, producers, song writers, back up vocalists etc., is to “BLOW”.

Blow in the Nigerian lingual is not an exchange of physical punches as the reader might think or a terrorist detonating a bomb. Blow in this context is for their songs and creative performance to be known and enjoyed by all and sundry across the country, Africa, and the world as a whole.

Having a nationwide hit in one‘s catalogue is not a small feat for a creative person in the Nigerian Music Industry. The joy of the numerous airplays, fans chanting your lyrics word for word, sold out shows and tours, streaming incomes and all the other perks that comes with being a hot artiste cannot be overestimated. It is only reasonable that all artistes would want to remain at the top spot for as long as they can.

Change is however a constant thing and the dynamic nature of music in Africa plus the large pool of talented and consistent artistes in the country makes maintaining the fame a tad more difficult that gaining the fame itself. It is harder to remain at the top because there are a lot of other perhaps even more talented creatives working very hard to take your spot.

Record label issues, poor PR, laziness, drug abuse, marital issues, scandals, change of musical style etc., are some of the popular reasons why most artistes are unable to manage their fame and end up becoming one hit wonders. Artistes like Deebee of Collabo Fame, XP Pasa Pasa, Sean Tero Choko, Humblesmith Osinachi, AY dot com, Rayce, Don Tom Putu putu among others are pure examples of one hit wonders in the Nigerian music industry.

A lot of A-list artistes also fall off the radar after a while due to the above-mentioned issues and similar matters. A few exceptions do occur where these artistes return to the limelight like the historic 2018 run of Duncan mighty in the Nigerian music industry after recording a song titled “Fake love“ with Wizkid. His run remains one of the most successful comebacks in the industry till date. A lot of other top artistes who fell off have not had similar success despite signing new deals and featuring some of the hot new kids on the block. It is clear and evident that “REBLOWING“ in the Nigerian music industry is not an easy task.

The main question now is for an artiste that has not been popping in the industry for like a year or two and wants to make a comeback to the industry, what are the steps such an artiste can take to make a successful comeback? Why is it so difficult to make a comeback into the Nigerian music industry?

Change the strategy
The marketing , songwriting content, video, beats, publicity strategies ...but don't show desperation or too much copycat stuff ...
These are the keys

Because many people already believed it. Sowore is doing bad journalism. If they should arrest him now they will say it’s witch-hunt

When APC was using bad journalism against GEJ why did you not say this then ? Why now ?
Karma truly exists

DriftOff:
Just wondering, because now every guy, I mean, every guy would want to have sex with you the moment they started dating you.

Why is it so hard for them to wait for the right time, I mean - your wedding night. Guys doesnt want to wait again, they want to 'eat' the thing first before saying "I do."

Guys, what do u think?

Can you guarantee that you'll be a virgin if they wait till they say I do ?
If no , what's your point ?

Beancounter94:
Don't like APC, but let's be honest

The fact is that we are not making enough money from oil. Meanwhile our tax to gdp is very low. Eventually we would have to find a way to raise money for road repairs and the only way I see this happening is via toll gates.

As for the complaint that they will loot the money...Well that is why we live in a democracy so that we can do the hard work of holding our leaders to account. Democracy is not about having everything done for you. You are not a baby. Stand up and do your part.

Anyone opposing toll gates is basically saying we should take more loans or we should continue with bad roads with no money to fix them.

So sorry, abuse me, but until you can suggest an alternative to funding road maintenance in this country and it is not by juat cutting the big man salary because we need far far more than what we can get from cutting salaries of all the big men, you should just keep shut and pay the toll. And even if Biafra and oodua come tjey will toll their roads too. Or become as indebted as Nigeria once was.

Let's be realistic

P.s
I don't like APC or pdp so don't go there.

Let's be realistic...how many progressive countries are a result of oil proceeds ?
Japan ? America, even South Africa ? Even look at how Ghanna has been faring in recent times and connect the dots... It's not about fall in oil prices , it's about harnessing the true potential (human / economic ) avaliable...
Until we wake up as a nation ,accept this truth and start doing things right , we will keep blaming unnecessary things like oil prices ...
Food for thought: Nigeria was a great country before oil was discovered. How did this happen and why is it that since the focus has been oil , Nigeria currently doesnt have a working refinery?

bibiking7:




If it would improve the state of the road and the security. I think its a welcome development.

Look around you .... has the existing tollgates in Lagos improved anything ? Be honest and remove any iota of sentiments to get the right answer...!

jamaicabakare:
Prophet Iginla should ignore Rev Chris Okotie...the man is a failure.

Music him fail
Marriage him fail
Politics him fail
Winning souls for Christ, Arsenal fc better pass am.

Yes you may want to ignore him but let's be sure of what we post.
Okotie was one of the most successful and influential musicians from his generation...going on to inspire the likes of Felix Liberty , The Sparks, Dizzy K, Terry Macson, and a retinue of others ...He helped popularize Nigerian pop music globally in the late 70s and early 80s; doing all these (and more) as an undergraduate student of Law in the university of Nsukka back then...He was our own Michael Jackson and we were very surprised when he dropped music to pursue his law and religious careers.
It's okay to share your opinions but don't be in a hurry to post what you're not sure of ...
Best wishes for a successful day ahead to you. God bless.

Let them enjoy their religion of peace in peace.

No one should disturb them and our brothers up north can go join them and enjoy full sharia.

You've got no idea ..after practicing it , they then try to force you to accept it too or kill you .

Mynd44:
When the government said twitter's actions are against coporate existence of Nigeria what did you think they were referring to?

In November 2015, Niger Delta Avengers opened a twitter account where they wrote about their exploits and issued thier threats and warining.

Twitter didn't ban them until June 2016. I can give you evidence of it.

Facebook banned Kanu, has been ban in handles by peo­ple threatening violence for months which was why facebook was not suspended despite also removing the president's tweets

Twitter usually banns Offenders that were reported (usually with reasonable traffic)
If you had reported the Avengers or MNk issue ... They would have taken steps
..but you did not

omowumi9:

Remove all these sentiments..
Do you really think he stands a better chance than Osinbajo, Adesina and others...? You mean you support Tinubu to be the best candidate that the entire Yoruba has to offer to the county ?
Well , we are all entitled to our own opinions ...
I wish Tinubu quick recovery and excellent health ...
