This not a news nau. It actually happened when Steve was about 14 or 15 years. He asked the pastor a question about the Biafran children and he couldn't get a satisfactory answer, then he stopped going to church.

Yet, he was into Buddhism as at the time Apple was lifting up. So why is this a news?

Sincerely something is wrong with us in this country, psychologically I think. We need philosopher kings now. At least, to start the change from top to the bottom. But can this era produce them?

If Nigerians, especially Nigerian leaders are not more heartless than this, Nigeria would have been a better place and there wouldn't have been a need to know that Lebanese and Arabs are heartless.

Simplyleo:
Based on the population of Nigeria, the size of the Nigerian Army and the ongoing insurgency across the country, that is grossly insufficient by any standard. Nigeria is indeed poor, forget the hype. The dominant source of national income is crude oil, nothing else.

Oil alone cannot sustain this country with a population hovering around 200m. Any idiot can do the simple arithmetic and tell me what every soul is entitled to from the gross earning.

Nigeria's annual budget is still less than 15 trillion, pls what will that amount do for over 200m people? Infact, let's assume 15t is to be shared physically, that is around 75k per head per annum.

US with a population of about 250m has annual budget in the excess of $2 trillion.

No one should quote me because I don't respond to bunkum from illiterates.

If they can't account for this, how can they account for $2 trillion? The problem with Nigeria is not lack of sufficient money, it is lack of accountability in governance and wastage of resources. That is why we are still struggling with the meagre amount of money we're running the country with.

May her soul rest in peace.

At the age of 6, i already knew that i was in the wrong country when i learnt that the National pledge ended with 'so help me god' Ahh !

You kidding right? America is still "one nation, under God..."

superCleanworks:
go back and learn the meaning of percentage and how to calculate percentage before you rush to reply only to expose your awkward inability to understand a simple sentence.

What a very intelligent way of responding to a comment! So mature and full of wits. But don't keep it up.

[quote author=superCleanworks post=101346544]i can bet that top nigerians will make for 10% of the population on that website

Not only criminal stuffs even heroic stuffs. If those guys were Africans, you'd probably think all Germans are angels. Right?

Congratulations lad. In my yesterday's post, i made it clear that University of Amsterdam could go to hell..... University of Amsterdam said only Ghanaian and South African Universities will be allowed to apply to their school in Africa.

That is what I call Education Promiscuity. A situation whereby an Educational or Academic institution keeps changing her policy for frivolous reasons.

In due time, I will send a letter of acceptance to the University of Amsterdam, to let them know that we have accepted their offer, and will never apply to their University because Nigerians have better options to pick from.

Without any iota of doubt, I will like to state categorically that the University of Amsterdam can GO TO HELL.

Indeed, they should go to hell ni o though I don't like using the word. I got at least 4 offer of admissions from Russell group Universities in the UK last year. What is University of Amsterdam where these universities are mentioned?

MadamExcellency:
She will come back to serve the Mallams or stay back perpetually in US without given back to her country.

Giving back to her country? The country didn't build her o, her parents' money did. Those who should give back to their country are rotting away in our public schools.

Norms?

Isn't that how the world thinks you're normal? As a matter of fact, if you want to be 'normal', it has to be because you're following the 'norm'. Isn't the world 'normal' from 'norm' itself.

Anyone who has great goals to achieve other than what presently persists has to be abnormal. In government, the abnormal stands out, in science and invention, the Musks, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg we're not normal people. Was Delay even normal?

Be abnormal but let it be in the positive direction.

Imagine them asking for info on the last 3 websites you visited, last amount of data allocated to you...does this make sense? How does it provide security for s nation struggling with database issues?

helinues:


That's why it's very important not to attach too much emotions on anything...

Pantami's emotional reckless statement years back is hunting him now..

Big lesson for others to learn from..

Be the master of your mouth so that you won't be a slave to your words...

Emotional recklessness....see oyinbo from someone hiding away from the truth. It's in desperate times that we know desperate people so don't school us. The ideologies he held surfaced and now resurfaced and you say "emotional recklessness"

JudgeKronos:
Take it or leave it....

The problem of this country is the people ...

Next election Una go still collect 10k to steal ballot boxes

Una go still share bags of rice and kerosine to vote for another buffoon

Una go still queue under the sun to vote in another old vulture because of tribe and religion

What do you expect when suffering has gone to the extent you don't know how it feels to be normal again?

Godchosen001:
There will be more than cash for police when Tinubu get there

I'm very sure this picture you've been posting is a form of sarcasm. Yeah, keep being sarcastic in that format so that Nigerians won't fall again into the same trap they're in.

Na every month be mother's day ni? This is why I hardly post on these international or national celebrations jare. My mum deserves celebrations every time and anytime and I cannot comman kee myself with this day, that day all the time.

Jesus gave us His entire life and yet, we still break his heart. How much more you.

Be grateful you haven't meet your end on her behalf. Take some time to cool off in those things you like doing (maybe your career, family etc), come back better and stronger and move on with life. It ain't gon be easy but you'll be glad you successfully wade away from depression.

blackarcher:
Simple and short, let's just catch cruise until we want to get married.

And in the process of cruising, after cruising her body so well, you discover she has a mark on her body which you won't be able to ignore in the future. Then all of a sudden, she starts looking like trash...

This is the reason they keep preaching that people should stay celibate until marriage. At least, everything will look meaningful though there may still be challenges.

Every time I see this headline, the question that keeps coming to my mind is "is it boiled or fried"? Is it hunan's or doll's? What type of p*nises exactly are we talking about?

Some news headlines just defy everything called sense.

They're just wailing ni joor. Nigeria is not cash crush or crunch jare.... Let them continue repairing the National Assembly with 32 billion. They can even double the amount.


Abi they can't borrow money again ni?

Humanoid01:
At number 7, do you mean intelligence can be acquired consciously? If yes, why?

I was going to read and pass but had to stop at this.
I don't have the kind of money that'll make you feel really good about yourself now, I don't have the handsomeness that'll wow some ladies and even about dress sense, I haven't achieve the ideals I set for myself. But what is a man if his brain is empty and full of mundane things?

So technically yes, intelligence can be acquired by what and how you read and how you immerse yourself in knowledge, where you go, what you listen to and see on Youtube etc. Basically, you get intelligent by what you engage yourself with in your everyday life.

So for me, I have a certain level of confidence here. The fact that I'm not empty upstairs make me not want to chase girls because I know that not every girl can stand me and the kind of discussions I'll engage them in except the well endowed upstairs.

YORUBA POLITICIANS should be very wise with the turn of events in Nigeria.

THE HAUSA/FULANI they want to play politics with at the detriment of the overall southern interest are like snakes in a green grass.

Apart from Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was a very intelligent politicians was able to manage the ills of the northern olligarchy, the likes of yoruba politicians one sees these days are not smarter in the games these northern cabal play.

Meanwhile, the south west political leaders are fond of betraying southern interest in the quest of actualising yoruba interest.

That was what Tinubu, some groups of south west Obas did to Ex-President Jonathan and at the end the fulani leader they brought in is now using them to play games.

You care to know why it's so?
Awolowo loved his people and coupled with the ideas he had, he looked straight and focused on his achievements. The new breed of politicians in Yorubaland today are opposite of that. They will only defend their pockets and their family members. Trying to do all these and pretend as if the love the people, trials and challenges of governance will blow them off easily like it is blowing them off.

Insincerity (caused by greed and lust for money and power) is the problem of political leaders in Yorubaland today. Take that away and you have highly intellectual and competent administrators in government offices.

Rossnitti:
The problem with people like you is that you are thick, dumb and ignorant with regard to what it means to be a democracy.

Your thick skull cannot understand that democracy is turn by turn and will not always favour you.

Buhari is a problem for you, so your solution is ''the country is failed!! Let's break up!!''

No part of your dull brain thinks ''ok, this is a democracy. His term's up in under 2 years. Let me join forces with like-minded citizens to vote him out of office and get in someone whose policies are more favourable to me''.

That is what folks in the US did, despite Trump trashing their nation on a daily basis, openly supporting killer racist neo nazi groups, describing them as ''good people'' to mass outrage, among other assaults on public sensibilities.

NOT ONCE did we hear Americans lament ''our country is failed. Let's break up!!''

Instead, they organised and voted Trump out of office.

Finish.

So you and your fellow thick skulls and dullards who act as if Nigeria is some sort of life presidency for Buhari/Fulani people, with ''breakup'' the only option, need to go back to your villages and FARM, or TAP PALM WINE, because that is as far as your intellect can take you.

Ridiculous people.

Ridiculous people indeed! And you don't think you're the one being ridiculous here or is it because you have little or no idea of America's history? FYI, America led by the Democrats party majorly, wanted out of the Union just because the Lincoln administration outlawed slave trade. Just because of slave trade. Not because of killings and kidnappings and favouring the perpetrators, not because of acute and alarming level of greed and corruption, not because of tribalism.

If Nigerian government as an institution wants us to stop talking about division et cetera, then they need to make us feel equal on all grounds. Outside of this, Nigerians will keep clamouring for any escape route out of this unholy, unproductive, monstrous and disastrous union they're presently.

Drizzy5001:
Girls easily make good grades, because majority of them offer their body for marks, while as a guy if u no get money for sorting, OYO for you o

Not "majority", you can some and I'd agree. I know a lot of girls in my department who studied even more than I did during my undergraduate days. In fact, some of them fell sick because they starved and stressed themselves just to make good grades and yet, I did better than many of them. So should I also say "they offer their bodies for the mark". Girls are currently holding education more tightly than guys jare.

If not for politics and bad belle, Unizik is way ahead of OAU but anything Igbo is always detested in this country

Drop this mentality jare.....
Are you saying people hate buying from the Igbos in Nigeria because they're the hub of commercial activities especially importation of electronics? FYI, I'm not an Igbo and there's NOTHING I hate about the Igbos or any other tribe for that matter except for the Fulanis over-superiority attribute because they feel as if they have all the powerful people and they can exploit other people. Yet, I don't hate them for that.

If UNIZIK is as good as you say it is, its qualities will trump over any hatred from anyone just as Innoson is quietly flying already.

People that think governance is about construction of roads, bridges and train are the most dangerous people to meddle with.

Mtscheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww........


What's shifting in the paradigm here?

If paradigm shift will occur, it means all the politicians in power right now will have to be rooted out and it won't exist under the grossly, corrupt, inept system ably headed by the "humble administration" of the person you mentioned.

Partially true...

At a time when the country is in dire need of constitutional reforms and all-round holistic reforms in all spheres of governance, it's lawmakers are executing solar street lights projects that would barely last 6 months.


Honestly, I think lawmakers are the first and major problems we are having. The power to impeach an erring executive, to reform or rewrite a part of constitution that is against the people etc lies with them. But what are the doing.

And perhaps Madam Oby is right because asslicking of these politicians is just too much. Just watch out on this thread alone.
