Exactly, Yoruba people disgracing Nigeria everywhere they go

With your Ethnic sense, this guy speaks Ibo oooo, the problem with fanatics Nigerians is, instead of calling a spade a spade they will resort into either ethnics or religious sentiments.
When the politicians (APC or PDP..... made up of all the tribes ) want to take Nigerians for a ride they will draw up the same narratives, when groups of kidnappers or armed robbers are arrested you will find all the tribes in the groups. Even in the religion sector there are Pastors, Imams, Traditional rulers in all the tribes who have been caught in nefarious activities.
Yet some Bleep-heads will come to internet to say one tribe is better than the another, but in the same Nigeria we have the like of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie a world acclaim Nigerian writer an Ibo woman, what about Wole Soyinka, The Nobel Laurate, Aliko Dangote, Africa's richest person, in the field of Sports, Entertainments, Industries, Academia, we have exceptional Nigerians from all tribes.
I think it is time we wake up from this senseless attitude of thinking one tribe is better than the others, lets condemn the bad eggs among us and praise the ones bringing glory to NIGERIA, Happy Fathers day.

Nigerians so religious

The comments made by the popular American preacher TD Jakes while preaching on leadership and wealth is still ringing bells, he said prayer is not leadership and not enough to make anyone rich. “If prayers were enough”, he said, “Nigeria would be one of the richest countries in the world”. Nigeria has become a global case study of how a nation can be deeply religious and yet not prosperous. We know the Bible more than Apostle Paul and the Quran more than Prophet Mohammed yet nothing is working in Nigeria. An Army General at the helm of affairs can't even subdue ordinary Boko, while a celebrated minister of communication doesn't know how Twitter functions
We celebrate our bigotry and lack of visionary leadership in every facet of life

Are you really up to 60yrs?
Are those truly your own experience?

I want to know before I share it...

Because you ask me, I will tell my little story.
When I was younger I thought my Dad was the most wicked man living, he always wack my bum and my mum was the most loving, maybe because I was her lastborn, but unfortunately due to my rambunctious attitude, I had an accident and almost lost my left leg, the mark is still obvious today, due to that, I lost the opportunity to represent Nigeria at the 100m dash.
It was after I had my kids that I began to realise the pain father's goes through to raise responsible adults, so everytime I have the opportunity, I always tell my kids, my story. So you see my dad was not mean, he saw the handwriting on the wall. It pained him of my lost opportunities but it is me who is living with the regrets. I hope a lot of us bashing out at Dads on the forum will think deep. Finally, responsible Dad goes through a lot of stress in life not for themselves but to provide for their family, most mothers acknowledge this and that's why well brought up mothers stick with the Fathers no matter what, The crisis in our world today is because of absentee fathers. Someone jokingly ask at a wedding, when great grandmother and Grandma was called to the podium, "where are the Grandpa's gone. We fight it out in the outside world and still come back home to fight it out on the bed. God bless Fathers

*GIVE YOUR KIDS THIS PIECE TO READ.*

It takes a LIFETIME to realize that once DAD WAS THE BEST


*WHEN I WAS 4 years old, I knew my dad to be THE BEST*...

WHEN I WAS 6, I also knew Dad to have known it all...

*WHEN I WAS* 10 years of age, I knew Dad to be good.

*WHEN I WAS* 12 years I began to think that Dad wasn't as good as he was when I was a little boy...

*WHEN I WAS* 12 years old, I began discovering him to be more temperamental and strict as never before....

*WHEN I WAS* 16, I was convinced that he was an old school, and was not up to standard - to the current times we live in....

WHEN I turned 18, I thought Dad was very intolerant and hard to communicate with & also difficult to get along with...

*WHEN I* turned 20, I realized that he wasn't an easy person, and began wondering how Mom was able to put up with him in all the years of marriage...

*WHEN I* turned 25, it seemed like he had many objections to everything that I did....

*WHEN I* turned 30, I was convinced that we were not on the same page, and that nothing would ever please him...

����������

*WHEN I* turned 40, I then only began to realize how good my upbringing was, and that I should also raise my kids up in the same way...

WHEN I was 45, I started wondering how did Dad ever put up with all the challenges he faced with us whilst we were growing up ...

WHEN I became 50, I realized how difficult it was for Dad to have educated us and trying to instill good manners
in us, thus I began wondering how he managed to tolerate our excesses

WHEN I was 55 years of age, I only then started realizing the wisdom & foresight my Dad had of life in getting us to where we are today...

When I turned 60, ONLY then did I eventually realize that *MY DAD WAS THE BEST*

*******
It takes a lifetime to realize the true status of our parents. It takes us a lifecycle to really appreciate our parents.

The difference being, as teens growing up, we selfishly view life within the confines of our own interests, whilst our parents view life selflessly, sacrificing everything for us.

Sadly, we sometimes fail to understand that our parents are always our well wishers.

At 40 only, do we then start to realize that what we believed when we were 4 to be true...

Some are yet fortunate to have realized their parents true value whilst their parents were living, whilst others have unfortunately realized when it was too late - their parents have departed from this world; It's a painful guilt to live with.

[b]Honorable Minister off your mic

This was the same way they ask Govt to ban importation of rice, we know what was the outcome of it

I went to the market about three days ago and a bag of rice was being sold for 30K Naira and I ask myself where are all the locally produce rice promised by this administration as the justification for banning imported rice?
Before the ban on importation a bag of rice was going for 9k Naira and suddenly this government started what Fela called Government Magic promising us that a price of rice will become so cheap just as the price of SIM crashed, but looking back now I ask myself, what was the sense in putting Nigerian through such a sad experience when it was obvious that we cannot meet the demand.
If truly, this government is serious about #ENDSARS, i.e. lessen the pain of just coming out of COVID Lockdown and with added burden of increased fuel price, government need to reverse its decision of banning of imported rice,
To protect local producer, the government should buy it off any local producer who is willing to to sell at govt buying price.

#END FRSC TOLL COLLECTION ON OUR ROADS
While discussing on the issue of uncivilized attitudes of our Security operatives, There is need to spotlight the TOLL COLLECTION ATTITUDES OF FRSC on our roads.
My anger with these men and women in uniforms is that, unlike the ordinary Nigerian masses these officers enjoy several allowances, so why wouldn't they just do a honest job?
and let Nigerians have peace of mind

laiperi:
I cannot understand why Nigerians are so narrow minded.

This guy contributes what he can to the problem Black people face all over the world because no country can rise in Africa and fight for justice anywhere in the world since we lack same justice at home.

Well done man.

Naomi Osaka of Japan contributed in her own little way that drew big attention in US Open.

When this stu** Assembly man was degrading this innocent lady, how many of them do BLM, CNN says Nigerians in America are the most improved blacks in every aspect of personal development
Tell the Black gangster to take opportunities that was available to Naomi Osaka and not drugs, prostitution and gangsterism

donnie:
This business is booming! Any money donated to this movement goes towards the destruction of those values we hold dear. You will be supporting the effemization of the black man, the destruction of the family as we know it, and various other vices including the LGBTQ.

You will be putting money in the hands of the white devils who run the whole show from the backgrounds.

If you doubt anything I've said, do your research on BLM.

True to your words, This is the new colonization

jericco1:
Misplaced priorities once again, always following trending matters.
Boko Haram has been having field day for more than 9 years now.
The southern Kaduna crises is there
Banditry here and there
Corruption and nepotism everywhere
They should channel their energies elsewhere.

I agree with you every sense, Candace Owen a black American activist ask a vital question, which one poses a bigger threat to black communities: Racism? Or absent fathers?
Children who grow up without a fathers are:
- 5 times more likely to live in poverty
- 9 times more likely to drop out of school
- 20 times more likely to end up in prison
The stupidity is also gaining ground in Nigeria (all thanks to Naira-Marley dem gangs), the type of music—hard-edged rap, preaching bone-deep dislike for Parent and Authority, dislike for Education(like Naira Marley said “Malian no dey go school”)
The lyrics often glorify criminal, promotes drug use and degrade women,
All these negative cultures is so much ingrained in the consciousness of average black youth and this help perpetuate the circle of poverty and violence
Instead of finding solution to problems black lives in Nigeria, these Mor***** are busy having a carnival in the names of BLM

Most people supporting this unproductive lockdowns are so insensitive to the plights of average Nigerian, I heard someone said they should close school for the year, so the children can continue with what, during Ebola, was there any lockdown? Why are we so dumb

These direction less appointed so called guvnors forgot the old adage that says water will always finds its level, for three months, they kept hard working Nigerians under lockdown without alternatives to source of livelihood. Even the hard hit developed nations are opening up their economy, but ours think it is their copy and paste solution remains the everlasting solutions

Exc2000:



each country needs to have a full policy document and piece of legislation on disaster management, this fire brigade approach is very stupid... we should set up a special fund in case things like this happens, because even after Corrona virus goes, Trump is hell bent on giving us another World War, and I doubt Trump vs China, Russia , Iran nuclear war wouldn't be more catastrophic than Corrona Virus, infact we should thank Corona virus for slowing down tensions between the western power bloc and the eastern power bloc

The sooner we start preparing for Lockdowns and War the better for us all, rather than making silly excuses of hunger , poverty and disease

.

This one na mumu reply, did you read what the research study found out about children not being vectors of covid? go and Google effect of covid on children.

Sunisonflex39:
All of a sudden, we don't hear about malaria again in this country, we don't hear about asthma again, we don't hear of Lassa and cholera again...

Nooooo my brother, even if someone die in a car crash now, it is Covid, senseless leaders

I wonder if majority of people on this forum actually lives in Nigeria, We are so insensitive to the plight of an average Nigeria who bears the burden of bad leadership at all levels in this country, yesterday I was discussing with a private school teacher who narrated his sad experience with this COVID era, for the past two months he has not being paid a dime, because children were not in school and as such, no money from parents so proprietor could not pay salary, why? some parents were still owing. Yet some people want lockdown to continue.
From all the senseless lockdown we have had so far what have we achieved?
The whole world is opening up their economy to prevent total collapse and someone is still saying lockdown should continue, maybe because you can afford to stay indoors forever, but do you know your level of hypocrisy? The very food you buy when this *****" ease lockdown, where do they come from?
When crime rates surge some of us will blame security operatives not remembering that our small ****** contributions is part of the fuelling factor.
Before you make next contribution, ask yourself, how are Nigerians who survives on daily pay have been coping

WAEC QUESTION 1: Compare and contrast

Dear Guv, softly, softly, oooooo, This drum is sounding too loud, sooner or later it will....

Instead of him to fix the state delapitated infrastructures, he is busy running round town, a sign of cluelessness, all the model state of the art infrastructures put in place by his predecessor are in a state of disrepair

pascalike:
Stay safe!!!

This one na AMOTEKUN

cruxgemmata:
Saw that and it cracked me up.

Everybody is essential though staying safe is grand.

That one say open our churches when even vatican city suspended holy water coz the cup might get infected

One of American founding fathers Benjamin Franklin says " Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." This is how socialism starts, and government that you elected will now take over voice and your freedom, ask yourself with all the lockdowns what you achieved in Lagos, Kano.... WHO has hoodwinked us into lies upon lies and everyone is tired of their mess. even if you don't live is the US, go and google the statistics of number of people who died of FLU between Jan and today, has anybody lockdown the whole nation because of FLU, the answer is NO, so why is COVID 19 so special, that is why some of us are insinuating a CONSPIRACY.
Secondly, If you don't know the place faith in the existence of man, the don't make comments. Some of us believe in divine power that is why we call upon God when we have situation beyond our power, forget about what is practiced in most churches we still have honest men and women of God.
Maybe you still have a source of livelihood that is why you can talk, the other day I read that a pregnant woman collapse when she got a sack letter from one of Nigerian Banks, can you imagine in this perilous situation where we find ourselves to get a sack letter,
That is why sometimes we need to think before pen the paper

Marine54:
kids everywhere ! Move to lagos to drill what? Perhaps to drill lagoon..

You will be SURPRISED like yesterday, The Oil Multinationals are here for business, if you make the terrain unprofitable they will disappear, I have live long in PH to see Trans Amadi become a shadow of itself, How many have left: Michelin, Bakers & Hughes..........ALL GONE, How many jobs can Wike provide for the people of Rivers State? Instead for our Gov to provide enabling environment for business to thrive like Dubai where all them run to holiday, he is busy making pronouncement like a military governor, go and check the statistics Warri is begging the oil company to COME BACK.
Do you how the number of service companys that depends on these IOC's? most Banks are functional in PH because of these oil companys you labelled USELESS, my Brother think twice

Am not impressed, In Nigeria, na only go we dey hear, come we no dey see, where is the much celebrated notorious Evans the king Pin

engrchykae:
you must be Yoruba, always afraid

Your *** brain did not tell you that it is better to dialogue than to fight, what has being a Yoruba got to do with the issue at hand, since you have been fighting for these moneybags what have you achieved

I would not have bother to be part of this sense*** debate, if not to correct the impression that was created of Koronu, KORONU is a Yoruba word which simply denotes "DON'T WORRY ABOUT LIFE BE HAPPY" it's all about being happy in your life no matter what situation you are in. God will help Nigerian youths, we expend our energies on thing that will not move us forward neither as individuals or as a Nation.

WAIT A MINUTE !!

AMOSUN PROMISED NEVER TO HAND OVER TO DAPO ABIODUN. .....

WHAT GO HAPPEN NOW...? ?

The same way Secondus promised to kill himself if Bihari wins, Amosu will sing another song. He is a traitor, he brought in the finance minister, when she refused to dance to his time on the use of Paris fund, he engineer the NYSC saga, now is his turn to face the music

Afemi afemi loba akoko se to fi te, afemi afeniyan, afeniyan afolorun Oba, our dearest Guv was reminded that power belongs to God. He deducted civil servant salaries, refused to refund and when they complain he went ahead to sack them, now it's game over, Ogun people refused to elect his puppet who will help cover his atrocities, over to EFCC

do we even know how many Mainas are still enjoying under the cover of APC/EFCC Govt

what about Maina in Govt, not sick and freeeeeee
