MEANING YOU WILL BLAME ME IF I GIVE YOUR FAMILY A DIME? HAHAHA JUST THINK.

WHETHER 1 NAIRA OR 1 MILLION NAIRA IT MAKES NO SENSE PAYING TO MARRY YOUR PARTNER.

SOME IGBOS CLAIM THE HUGE PAYMENT IS USUALLY TO APPRECIATE THE GIRLS FAMILY FOR RAISING THEIR OWN DAUGHTER. SO I'M WONDERING WHO GETS TO PAY THE MAN'S FAMILY FOR RAISING HIM?

THIS IS NONSENSE.

I agree, in all honesty proper discipline should be a mixture of positive and negative reinforcement. I do tolerate an occassional ass whooping or spanking when the act is more than outrageous especially with boys. I'm just worried that the U.S is getting worse and worse each day! As much as Nigeria is a shithole I cannot imagine myself living forever abroad, I cannot imagine my kids marrying an akata or white woman or even worse end up as collateral damage in this gun and drug infested nation. May God help us all!

What can i say,,....I don't know but most men cheat shaa, won't advice any girl to cheat

abbey621:
We have to be permissive because places like U.S are not only targetting physical abuse but emotional abuse. Kids are calling cops on their parents when yelled at or scolded. There is an enmancipation clause in some states where a 14 year old can move out and live on his or her own. Depending on the school, kids bear their minds to school counselors who in turn contacts child protective services and from there, say bye-bye to your kids. What I've seen that works is have those kids exposed to the Nigerian enviroment, I've seen parents bring their kids for summer holidays and have them spend few nights in darkness, heat and mosquito. The result is often miraculous, for example when a niece of my friend starts wasting food, we just play her videos of kids starving in Lagos from Youtube and she becomes sober, the guilt alone makes her behave for weeks.

@Post

I don't know her full story but if I am to go by my observation of how most Nigerians treat their kids, I would say I am not suprised. A lot of Nigerians are not fit to be parents. They think they can take their archaic, abusive parenting style to the western world and not get in trouble. Ha!

abbey621:
I live in the U.S and at times will spank my almost 3 year old when he does extremely naughty things, I've also witnessed many non African families in the U.S hat have done the same including one whooping her son right in front of his friends for smoking cigarette. The key here is not to overdo it, abscence of traditional disciplinary methods is exactly why many kids abroad are apoiled beyond repair.

INEC is one sided, if you bear Igbo name or John, there is high chance that your PVC is missing, no be when you get PVC you go vote? if your name is Abdul or Mustapha , you PVC will even be printed twice.

jumobi1:
Nigerians hate each other so much that we refuse to be objective and reasonable. These allegations need to be investigated.

Take for example, I hire a worker but I can’t pay him because I spent all my money. If the following month I hire another worker and don’t pay, must it be concluded that I spent all my money? NO! Maybe I don’t like the job he did, maybe I dislike him for other reasons or maybe I spent all my money again.

The bottom line is that Nigerians have the constitutional right to vote. Any infringement on this right MUST not be justified based on the fact that the infringement is ethnic-group-neutral. Give everyone their PVC. INEC’s negligent or intentional inability to give every eligible person their request PVC should be enough to invalidate election results.

You get brain baba.

I keep saying this. U owe ur parents nothing. They made up their mind to birth you.

ZIMDRILL:
if you really deep in text you will understand were he coming from

african and asian culture, makes it as if you owe your parents to be born

they curse at you as if you were asked to be born against their will

african and asian culture parents talk to you as if they did you a favour to raise you whereas you are a product of their love making

they make it as if it was priviledge to feed you and send you to skol but its not, even animals in the wild take care of their young ones without being asked its natural, sending a child to skol is government requirement (law) in nearly every country in the world

but some parents sound as if you forced them to send you to skol they make it as if they had other plans on the money they used to send to skol but per laws its their responsibility and no one else


there is nothing wrong to look after parents, but parents we shouldnt sound as if it was someone's responsiblity when you are the biological parents


there is nothing like i sacrificed for you, aslong your are the bioligical parents it is your responsibility, you can not sacrifice on something you are meant to do anyway

the only people who are allowed to use word sacrifice are those who are looking after someone's kids

haryothosyn93:
Some of the people here are fake. They are not what they claim to be, and some comments too are all childish.

mhisbliss:
It all boils down to our societal values, norms and what people would think and say about you if you aren't married, especially if you're a girl, why pop out a baby or two or three for a man without him putting the ring on it and not expecting people to think you're a shameless baby factory who is just cohabiting with an unserious man who loves getting you pregnant?

So beneath all this "I don't care what people think about me" mantra everyone chants, is an insecure and timid person wishing he or she is really about that, lastly marriage gives you a kind of leverage, because in the face of society, you're legal and as a legal partner you kinda have a say when someone is in your turf, and you sometimes get compensation when it hit the rocks, example jeff bezos and his ex wife.

All the wealthy business men in Nigeria today all have a heart touching story to buttress their way to success...but all this people you hear and see today were rich through fraud and drugs.I know when coscharis was leaving at beach land estate and all his children.

Constitutionally, you need to get majority votes and 25% of 24 states.

The north has 19 states and the South has 17 states
SW has 6
SS has 6
SE has 5

All Buhari needs is 25% of 19 Northern States and the 6 SW States. That's all. Any other one na jara.

The SE is inconsequential and that's the truth. 5 measly states with the lowest PVC registration stats and lowest history of voter turnout.

Jones4190:
Do you know that if you remove 198, 248 votes that Buhari got in SE and add to Jonathan’s 2,464,906.00 votes, that Buhari still won the
election 2,175,263 votes? Also, if you take the entire SS votes (418,590) to Buhari and give to Jonathan in addition to the entire SE votes to going to Jonathan, Buhari still won the election by 1,338,083 votes. What this means is that with the entire SS and SE voting Jonathan, Buhari would have still won the election by over 1.3m votes.
Okay, you think Jonathan got no votes in the North? You are wrong. In NC he got 1,715,818 votes, in NW he got 1,339,709 votes and in NE he got 796,588 votes. So he got a total of 3,852,115 in the North and if those entire votes are given to PMB, he would have won the
election with over 10m votes (19,277,036 vs. 9,001,047).
Okay, you think the voting pattern would change this time as two Hausa-Fulani and Muslim brothers are running? I think so too. But the first point is that you that is NOT a Northerner should know that your vote is insignificant. The North and to some extent the SW will determine who will always be the President as far as politics remains a game of number. Okay, to that your thinking that the voting trend would change. Yes, Buhari will never, I repeat will
never get only 7% of the votes cast in SE again.
never! They can’t write results again. I am confident of 35% at least. And in SS, I am confident of 35% at least. 55% at least in SW. And in the North, Jonathan got 24% of the votes in 2015, I am confident that atiku cannot get more than 35% of the votes cast in Northern Nigeria. And in absolute figures, Buhari would win by over 3m.
Anyway, the main issue here is that our votes in SE and SS can’t change anything if PMB gets 70% or more votes in the North and 55% or more votes in SW.
Please stop making noise if you don’t have electoral value.

decatalyst:
That's because they have a system that works.

That's because they have enthusiastic health workers that have dedicated their lives to save life.

That's because human life has value.

That's because someone hasn't looted money meant for the public address system or the power for keeping the address systems active and working.

That's because even though Italy is not far from recession, they managed to stay far away from regression like nigeria!

What nonsense?

Nobody begged you to come marry.

In India, women pay dowry while In some parts of Nigeria, a man must show the strength of his arm financially before he can marry a woman.
Different strokes for different folks.

It used to be barns of yams in the olden days as depicted in Chinua Achebe "things fall apart" and has now modernized to other material things.

What ever works. As long as failed men are weeded out.

If in your place, they give out women two for five naira, all well and good.
Your sense of good is not universal.

Dude, come on!

Look, I get your point but you miss the point here.

Teleprompters, flash cards and slides are used when there is a a large volume of information to be delivered.

GMB's delivery was just one sentence.

Are you really going to request flash cards for a one sentence delivery if you were in that position?

Even our aged parents would have felt insulted by such a suggestion.

SaiAtikuTill203:
the first step towards progress in any democratic society is never to allow a failed government return to power. Even though I thought and knew Buhari was a higher evil than Jonathan, I was happy at Jonathan’s defeat, because it meant that Nigerians had learnt not to repeat failure. Whether or not the coming elections are rigged, Nigerians must once again show their power against an incumbent failure. This is a way to build up an ideology against bad governance and myopic leadership. It does not mean that I think Atiku is far better than Buhari, but I know that Buhari has done nothing that warrants his re-election.What conscience has buhari to ask Benue, Taraba, Niger, kogi, Zamfara, Adamawa, Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa to vote for him after "deliberately" allowing fulani herdsmen to kill thousands of their people and rendering many homeless? Is it not shocking that over 73 people were killed in Benue in a day by people who are still in our midst? Why is Buhari protecting serial murderers like the fulani herdsmen? Why have we not seen any serious effort from the govt in arresting and prosecuting these mass murderers instead of asking Nigerians to submit their land for ranch or be killed? Is anything wrong with those supporting Buhari or are they part of the killer-herdsmen? Mr Buhari lacks the least of competence required to be a modern president. A good leader protects all his nationals including those who hate him but Mr Buhari is very strange. His ethnic and religious infantile chauvinism has polarised Nigeria the more. Nigerians on social media now wage rabid inter-tribal media wars instead of tackling the real issues threatening our existence. How would you expect people who were buying a bag of rice for 9k, a litre of fuel for N97 to buy them at 28k and 145 respectively, to be happy, to praise you and vote for you again? Have their brains been rewired?jubrin has rape nigeria first lady,the wife of the late mr buhari.

xcelentattitude:
You right bro. Since I stepped my feet into ABJ in 2012, I have given up on Lagos. I believe I have dispossessed the physical and mental capabilities to cope with such life, its damn too crazy.

Great writing skills though, exaggeration or no exaggeration.

Why not try a career in writing instead of auditioning for the 'devil's show'.

My two cents.
