You may not know it but your sistas are gradually making you gay.

Please run away from telemundo while you still have the time!!!



You may be right, and she could be a full fledged lesbo who knows...

Truth be told, girls are more likely to be gays than guys.

Hahahah, You are just being funny. I enjoy watching telemundo now on my own. I am over straight. steroetyping is not always correct.

what about guys here who are always on Romance section, does that make them gay aswell?

Nicolax:
The only one I agree with is if a guy watches telemundo. Only gays do that

I strongly disagree with you. My sisters made me develop an interest in some of the movies because they will always seize the television in the evenings. Right now I enjoy watching some of those movies. I am not gay.

The worst part is that most of his claims are either distorted or outrightly wrong. A little google check shows that Anambra is the least owing state in Nigeria

malton:
You ripped the words right out of my fingers.

I was wondering if he was advising the fg to come and perfect propaganda.

A lot of people do not seem to realize that Anambra isn't owing because there are barely any workers to owe.

This Ben Bruce is terribly ignorant. He just harps on a social media trend and state it as a fact.

Listen to yourself, Anambra State don't owe because they don't have workers to owe. #Pathetic

Thanks for proving my point that Anambra is not paying full minimum wage and can not afford to pay full minimum wage...



NEXT.....

Please, explain what you mean. Before now, you have been a great fan of 'proofs' please can you support your claim that Anambra pays 11600 as minimum wage?

Atleast I have been able to use you own link to prove otherwise

aresssa:

Obiango poverty wage = N10000 +15% = N11600.


N11600 = Poverty wage...

http://allafrica.com/stories/201503050103.html
That's the link you posted to support your claim Sir, but I think you have an issue with the English there. The governor added 10,000 doesn't mean he now pays some people 10,000. If I am not mistaken, the previous minimum wage was 7500 plus 10000, that makes a total of 17500.

If you add Sir Obiano's 15 percent, that means that the least worker in Anambra earns at least 20125( going by the link you shared).

Get the facts right

Tkayhandsome:
Ready and available. Immediately.

Why not pick a teaching Job for the meantime, it will relieve you of unnecessary pressure. if you stay around Woji estate/Nvuigwe side, Go and submit your CV to the schools around there against September .Some schools there pay up to 40k/45k

Victorvexz:
How can u benefit from Nigeria when u have lost everything after the war. There was a time igbos were the once clamoring for one Nigeria with Azikiwe, that was when the going was good and Igbo dominated politically. But since the war ended, thing have changed, and u re now at the bottom. Sorry for u bro, I understand ur frustrations, u will only rant, u and ur tribe cannot do anything to undermine Nigeria unity, I challenge u and ur tribe today. Anyway take heart, it really suck to be ur tribe

Do not beat your chest any further Sir. You can go and study all the countries that got divided, it doesn't just happen at the blow of the whistle. Division of this country is something that must surely happen (99 % likely), maybe not today but certainly. unless .......

Nl is really changing me ooo. can't believe I am spending time typing these things.

YungMillionaire:
GEJ was also a divisive President. Remember when he went around the country saying 'Igbos were the backbone of his administration.' That was a very divisive thing to say. Similar to Buhari's 5% statement.

There is nothing divisive about that Sir. He could prove his point then with reasons and examples. But saying you would only focus on the 97 that voted you is a shame. In saner climes, the president would have apologised
