Lalissa:
yea, pre-corona.....Owambe charm? I haven't yet. Hopefully when covid is over and sanity is returned I'll get to see that.

Yeah... hopefully
Everyday is the same in Ibadan except the weekends. Somehow, distant music from parties would reach your hearing even from your house.

Lalissa:
I relocated to Ibadan not too long ago and i would love to meet good people around. .....You can be male, You can be female....Preferably from age 26.

Sexually starved men....please stay away
If u have nothing of value to discuss, please stay away.
Married men forming single .... please stay away
Come to my house geng....please stay away

Not all relationships should be sexual...There are still great minds on nairaland you can share ideas with and learn from....so who needs a friend in Ibadan. just pm me, and I'll reply you.

Welcome to IB city. Did you settle down there pre-corona period? You must have witnessed some of the city's weekend owambe charm...

EngrEgghead:
A warped way of stealing. But I'm not surprised because you never thought you would be caught, after all that has been the norm in our system.
I pray we shall be delivered from the hands of our greedy politicians as the spirit of greed has greatly eaten deep in their hearts.

I'm sorry sir but I don't think we can ever be delivered from the hands of our politicans because the spirit controlling the politicians is the same controlling the common man. The common man just don't have the platform to express it well. Until we change our value system...

I'm going to try and believe it's not the lockdown that's responsible for the surge in marriage related posts reaching Nairaland's front page.


I'm not married though so whatever I say will just rrmare an opinion.

As usual...

Let comments start flowing in about how the North is dragging Nigeria behind, how politicians are bad. Et cetera et cetera....we become serious the day we decide to stand up to this people. We already know some politicians are devil's but willwour angels watch for 60 years?

Don't and won't stand for suicide though but the man would have died honorably if he had committed suicide first. Why crying when the milk is spilt already?

The reason restructuring might not save Nigeria is because our political leaders at the centre keep denying that we have a problem of survival as a nation. By the time reality forces them to wake-up, Nigeria would be too separated to be restructured.

Do you know how President Jonathan offended me? He saw what was going on and how he himself was victimized by ethnic jingoists and yet, he didn't initiate the implementation of the national confab. I'm thinking that Buhari would have found it difficult to reverse if Jonathan had initiated it.

Exc2000:



Nigerian like rejoicing stupidity


Bond is a means of borrowing money and giving the lenders guaranteed intrest after limited time,

the Article says investors interested in our bond market (better said people willing to borrow us money) are rushing Nigeria because they know 2020 would be the year we would have the highest deficit (deficit meaning we not being able to finance our budget or meet up with recurrent and capital expenditure) while 98% of our income would go to service existing loan after oil price dropped our earnings

So in laymans term, loan sharks and international gbomulalantern are trooping to Nigeria because they know without Oil we would be forced to borrow money from them or die of hunger



.

International gbomulelantarn! well done sir.

For customs

Must be a highly sophisticated computers. Our customs officers will start arresting smugglers from the comfort of their offices henceforth.

MuttleyLaff:
You really think it fits more now than 2012, hmm?
If so, what then have you to say of Baba Abami Ẹda Eleniyan Fẹla's prophetic and varied social conscience collection, erhn?
Or are you of the millennial generation (i.e. Generation Y) or Generation Z ni?

Same goes for Fela. Lagbaja was more vivid in 200 Million Mumu part 3 that I wondered how he would compose the song if it is to re-released. Whichever generation one belongs to now isn't really what matters again . We're all victims of a failed nation but it pains me we give more attention to comedies just to forget our sorrow in a while then rant on FB later.

Another case of 200 Million Mumu or is it now 201?

AmazingELixir:


Ok Seyi Makinde my guy finally revealed the company churning out covid_19 infected persons in the state.

If this is happening in relatively less affected state as Oyo, one can only imagine what is happening across the various companies in Lagos the disease epicenter.

Issorite.

Please tag the pic there 'graphic'. How does the person even wear clothes if he/she is a human?

Speak2donald:
Where is Onyeaka Oweonu? I haven't seen her lately in music or film?

I really wasn't following her. I just heard her song on a friend's phone and I liked it. Perhaps she'll feature in movies when some big stars want her again

200 Million Mumu (part 3)

200 Million Mumu was released in 2012

2012 it is ...was just wondering why the album fits more now than 2012.

Is the thread actually informing us about Lagbaja (whom I know) or about Twitter's 'Tife and Sansa' (whom I don't). Or the op is trying to kill two birds (posts) with a single stone?

Lagbaja in Yoruba means 'somebody ' (literally 'anonymous'). Artistes that combined modernity with Africa culture and social issues are really rare. Lagbaja is a legend in that regard. Happy birthday to him.

There's so much uniqueness in African music even if they seem close. The same feeling I get when I listen to Iyogogo by Onyeka Owenu is the same as some of Lagbaja's classics.

By the way, does anyone have any idea when '200 million mumu' was released?

There are a lot of people I admire but very few has reached the depth Dr Ravi reached. Though we know he's resting, yet his absence on this side of eternity will be greatly felt.


Only few individuals can really convince one that mediocrity and Christianity don't go together. Ravi Zacharias was and still remains one of them.

Macphenson:
With the recent unfolding of things, I can categorically state that somebody is seriously on Obasa's matter.

Is it from bourdillon or is it an external force trying to gain control of Lagos State House of Assembly by removing Obasa.

Time will tell.

This is the same man that shared #100 loaves of bread to his constituents, yet he will use millions to slap his mistress on the buttocks.

So much for a leader.

Nigerians, whether from the North, East, West or South, no matter your ethinic, tribal or religious affiliation, these politicians don't care about you.

They are all selfish greedy bastards creating divisions among the people they rape their common patrimony.

They are all heartless, mean and selfish.

The earlier we unite and fight our common enemy which are the politicians the better for us all.

Leave alone o...let us keep slamming one another. In fact, we should start our hatred afresh. We know the politicians and the elites are the same but it gives us more vigour and inspiration to insult the h*ll out of other tribes even though we can't really do without the other people.

It's all you, you and you .You're the one who sets boundary and limitations for yourself. You choose what you want and if and when your taste is going to change you'd determine it.

A lot of time, our definition of life is what determines our realities. If you were to go by your logic and wait till you're 40-45 so you can get married to a lady of 30-35, don't you think your preference would have evolved? You say the ladies of ages 25-29 that you meet were always interested in only food, sex and money, does that mean the same for every lady of the range? Don't put yourself into any stereotype. Wherever you find your ideal woman, older or younger, go for her. Just be sure and be careful what you're looking for.

I feel as if this lady is the most criticised celeb. I just like her 'I-don't-care' attitudes to her critics. If she's flaunting something and you don't like it, just scroll and look for someone who's not flaunting anything. There's no need disturbing us because Dj Cuppy decides to wear what pleases her because she has the means. She's not kuku the one that united Nigeria in it unholy matrimony so just live and let live joor.

EM123:
my anger doesn't last long, and i examine the situation before reacting. It might take days or month be i react.

The violence aspect of it is what you should watch especially since your anger doesn't last long. No matter how much you examine a situation before reacting, you'd always feel you should have behaved more appropriately when your anger cools.
Seriously, I don't have any advice to give on this cos I'm yet to fully mature on anger management too. But it'd help you a lot if you become more self aware especially in the way you react to things and the consequences that follow.

Shukusheka:
I so much cherish how Christians love to cherry-pick the bible to suit their narrative. Just say your rubbish and find one Bible verse to attach to it. Easy work!

If I'm to advice anyone to read a short manual of life, I'd direct them to the book of Proverbs. It's not going to make you religious, not at all but it will teach you how to live. Another one is Ecclesiastes, I respect it than all the philosophical books I've read. Just reading then will tell you about wealth, poverty and life itself. So the person you quoted knows what he/she was saying.

It's okay to be introverted and very okay to get angry especially where injustice is concerned. Do you get angry so easily? What is the duration of your anger? You said you're moved to action and not words, does that means violent action or some other actions? If you're introverted, I take it that you spend time examining the consequences of an outburst of anger or do you find yourself getting angry impulsively.

PS: you're going to get a lot of advice here and most of them might not work for you. However, youvey taken the most important step which is self awareness. That's your greatest guide.

Empty we come to the world, empty we will depart from it. There's a time to come and there's a time to depart.
May God console the families of the dead.

As long as humans keep trying to outsmart one another, trying to prove something exists that doesn't, trying not to accept the faults of others as a balance against personal faults, there will always be problems with relationships. The whole world is in trouble today because of relationships. The agberos on the streets are there because their parents couldn't make relationships work. Nowadays, we're generating a new set of white collar agberos. Only time will tell sha.

MahatmaGhandi:
After the atrocities of the 2nd World War, if Hitler was a Nigerian, we will have no problem with him in the reigns of government as long as we think he is qualified.
Also, why should I be angry that Gambari after being one of those that enabled evil in the past is being called to serve, there are other people that also served in that evil administration that also rose to prominence inspite of all they did. Just call it a reunion of the Abacha administrators and appointees.

You really understand some of the reasons we're in this shit. Obasanjo, Buhari and all ex-military leaders shouldn't have been allowed into the corridors of power again. But we have Bagudu, one of Abacha's cronies still a governor. That's also how we have then in different places, people that have at one time or another raped Nigeria. We forget things easily, get caught away by tribalism than the need for a better Nigeria and we keep repeating the same circle. In this 21st century, we should be dealing with a new crop of leaders entirely but here we are, the 1966 string has not been cut 54 years later.

PapaBaby:
Suddenly the Yorubas want us to believe the emir of Ilorin is not Fulani but Yoruba. How can a brother to the emir of Ilorin be termed a Yoruba man?
When Abacha was using koboko on Abiola in detention, this man would come out and say Abiola was in good health.

Is Sowore a representative of the Yorubas or the Gambari himself? How are Yoruba's associated with the allegations Sowore labelled on the man. We just like opening up a spot to promote ethnic banter while our common enemies are not divided by their ethnicity. Let him come from Zamfara or Oyo State, in fact, let him come from Abia State, if he's an enemy of the masses, then he is their enemy and if he's not, he should face the consequences of colluding with the peoples' enemies.

Noisyrians:
Na wao. You Nigerians don’t have work to do ba? No wonder poverty is growing mightily in your country.

I mean why are nigerians like this? Ghanaians are in their country, minding their business and building their country and economy. Instead of Nigerians to do the same, they are busy talking crap! Aso Rock v Jubilee House?

What are hoping to achieve with this stvpidity? Whether Aso Rock is finer or Jubilee House is finer, how does that help to reduce the price of garri? Na wao. This deliberate attempt to constantly push a Ghana Nigeria rivalry and fights on nairaland is very annoying.

Unfortunately, that's how we roll whiling away time, comparing everything comparable, generating insults and abuses, ethnic hatred and so on. In the end, nothing has been added or removed from our deplorable condition of a country.

Doyou2019:
150/300 lives, dreams and visions perished just like that at such a short time. Nigeria makes one begs the question : Is life really worth the stress we go through every day ,when it could easily be snuffed out in a single moment??

Question for the philosophers.

The emergency ward of a good teaching hospital is enough to give a good insight on it. Life is not worth the stress but the very existence of life itself is stressful no matter your race or class. If you have, you're stressed by mundane things as relationship, increment of wealth, satisfaction of self and others etc. If you don't, you're stressed by the need to have, the need to be an 'ideal human' which you think those who have are. The only way not to get stressed at all is by dying but dying itself is an irredeemable loss. So every man has to deal with his own stress, his own way and succumb when the life is snuffed away.

PS: I'm not a philosopher by the book, but I get interested when talks about human, life, death etc are brought up.

bigiyaro:
sister, this kind of young man don't exist, nevertheless, you can borrow clay from God and mould one yourself.

lol...
Well, Op, the Bible says "ask and it shall be given to you". All it takes you is to have all those qualities you want in the person. To me, likes attract or rather, personality itself magnetizes its like.
