Politics[b] the Nigerian spirit [/b] Could This Be The Obstacle To Nigeria Development? by ume1000(op): 11:00am On Aug 16, 2022
Always wanted to write this but never had the chance
*Note by Nigerians I mean most Nigerians give or take 90% of the population ,I believe majority qualifies as Nigerian*

Corruption (public funds)

In ma close to 3 decades of existence as a Nigerian ,I have come to realise that Nigerians don't actually hate corruption ,if anything they see it as cashing in on opportunities that presents itself ,they only protest when such dishonesty doesn't benefit them
*Note am writing this as one from a state where a known thief is hailed as chief of resource control

Crime

Most Nigerians are indifferent when it come to crime especially non Lethal crimes (absence of guns ),they gat no problem with fraud so long as they are not the victims ,bunkery(pipeline vandalization ) is seen as a regular hustle in the big heart state where I hail from

They often forget the yahoo boys today would be contesting elections in the next 20 or so years (I wonder what they expect from a thief)


Assualt

Did you know the average Nigerian see nothing wrong in hitting someone simply because they can ,it's the norm in ma home state and Nigeria at large (I have lived in over 6 states)

Japa

Nigerians are the most unpatriotic folks I know of ,they move at the slightest opportunity even to engage in horrible jobs oversea that they find demeaning here ,no one wants to waste their time ,they are always in a haste (they last time I checked Americans fought to make Thier country better)

I honestly believe we (Nigerians ) have created a society incapable of producing good leaders cause we see nothing wrong in social vices and careless about national values , I believe the corrupt leaders are the monsters that we made

What do you think, I could be wrong though let's hear from you in the comments section below

it is ok for people to admit they are ignorant about something than to accept anything even when it is obvious it is wrong. It is not compulsory for her to give you an alternative. All she knows is your explanation does not make sense. When she sees an idea that makes sense to her, she will accept it.
if the universe wasn't created how do you explain dark matter , how do you explain the fact that millions of planets are created everyday and most coming out of the suppose nothingess

Hmm, ok
But note 90% of folks that write on this forum are young people with little life experience. So don't use all the comments you see here as a bench mark.
Painful as it is, there are issues you don't put mouth in, even with your best friend. Ones of them is wife and husband matter. It will only turn out bad for you.
I have seen a mother blame her little daughter all the years till she became a grown woman bitterly. In fact till the woman died. She blamed and hated the lady for destroying her marriage to the ladies father.
Watin happen, when this girl was below 10 or so, she caught the father with a woman in a compromising way. She told the mother. Mother fought the man and he took off. Na so marriage end. This woman tried to make up the marriage, but oga don move on. Do you know that woman is dead today, the father has new family and does not want to see his kids from the first wife, imagine a 23 year old beautiful lady having to carry the weight of 2 siblings, school, feeding etc.
Was she wrong to have told her mother?
that's a kid, these are grownups and that was irresponsible of the mother and yes the the kid did the right

Saying the truth doesn't always have a pleasant outcome that's why it's the truth cos no one wants to hear it , but it must be told,even the smallest of truth(if it ever was ) could alter history on a grand scale

Imagine if Mohammed Ali had grown up in a false home or Michael Jackson in a similar situation

Don't play GOD by withholding crucial information from those concern cos u deffinatly would make it worse and bear the guilt as long as you live

Hmm, op, you are playing with fire. Very big fire that may consume.
Plain and simple, you are a blackmailer, you may not have asked for money now, or your might have.
What is your business in this matter other than to cause pain? That lady and her husband ahave moved ahead, if he has to find out that the child is not his, should it be through you?
You even went as far as adding friending him in his linked account! And it is sweeting you.
Hmm. I am sure you are less than 30 and not very experienced in life.
The worst thing young man, you can be is a blackmailer, see, when the yawa gases, it is worst than armed robbery.
I know, because of the day Abba kyaris IRT came all the way from Abuja to gbege me with full DHL regalia. Before comming to me, they had been to about 4 states tracing. Let me end the story there.
If you love your life, delete that woman's number, unfriend the husband's number, you think he is a simp abi, funny you. Avoid your friend and concentrate on your future.
Dont let the devil destroy your life.
same way someone told me Nigeria would heal itself

Don't arrest cultist , yahoo boys the country would get better on its own

The greatest crime to humanity is to do nothing in a situation where u can do something

STOICREALIST:
If everything we did caught up with us in a horrible way, most of us would have given up on life.

It turns out that for some of our mistakes made while naive and young, they come back with multiple effects and grave consequences. Some escape things easily and some don’t. To everyone his/her karma.


Do not try to be the police of the world or the disciplinarian of the world. Also, do not try to take advantage of her over the matter.

It should and would resolve itself at the appropriate time. Given the chance, the child from the relationship has a better chance with the man she is married to. If we counted the number of Children, especially first kids, not being raised by their biological dads, it would be about 30 to 40 per cent. If you take actions that destroy the Marriage, three (3) children stand to be traumatized from the experience.

If the husband is meant to find out, at the appropriate time he would fine out. An acquaintance did not find out or suspect until he returned to NIGERIA after many years to claim his child to the US. Curiosity let to a DNA POM Test which revealed he wasn’t even the dad.

Things will eventually fall in place but one thing about life is at times you may need to do a little bad or look the other way to protect and guarantee a larger/bigger good. Especially when we classify bad as doing things which we ought not to have done, and not doing things we ought to have done. In this instance, do not do anything about this. And also do remember what Eva Green said in the movie Kingdom of Heaven.
since you quote a movie I would quote one for you ,Deadshot from DC suicide squad has something for you "you are evil"

The only path the op has is to reveal the truth else he may suffer the same fate science has a name for it (the law of action and reaction)

I love the above quote of his. Religion most times gag people freedom of thought and tend to dubiously polarize people to conform to certain set of norms without asking "why".

Good that the guy was arrested, he should be made to face the full wrath of the law. You cannot fight for God, he is the supreme being and if need be, he just say kun fa-yakūn (Be, and it is).

Just on another note, some people with chronic religious bigotry who have been barking about a supposedly muslim-muslim ticket in Nigeria and their fake pastor counterpart will start showing their hypocrisy on this thread.
you started well but ended badly

If Nigeria were already a developed nation no one would condemn Muslim -muslim ticket
But in a country where patami and muric constantly support acts of terror , anyone would be stupid to support such nonsense

A mere look at the man's face shows that he is a very heartless man.



Dear ladies, always check the energy or vibe around the man you are dating before you agree to say I do. So many guys don't deserve to be married to anybody's daughter, they are created to live and die single, don't go and end up with such unfortunate guys.



A man that doesnt smile or rarely smiles shows he habors so much anger and vengeance in his heart and ready to pour it on any closest person to him. That man that is always shouting you down, suppressing your opinion and views on life issues and topic is a no go area.



Wise up ladies, you are better single than married to a wicked man with no conscience or restraint

Anyway, we all know Tinubu has the best chance of improving the economy.

Statistics do not lie.

Check the statistics.

Tinubu began the rapid growth of Lagos that has seen Lagos become the 5th largest economy in Africa

Where is Anamabra on that list?


Tinubu grew Lagos monthly IGR from N600m to N7b in 8yrs.
Obi grew Anambra monthly IGR from N450 to N700m in 8yrs.

Are we cursed to always support the failure on offer?

Even your children will doubt your sanity in wanting an Obi over a Tinubu who is an economic genius.

In my language Peter Obi is best described as "ba seje, Obi t'on so lerun"

Obi is a fig tree that cannot bear fruit.

Even Jesus Christ was mortified and cursed it forever.

This settles it.

Once again, I am not surprised, Anambra is the least of the top 10.

This clean data further show that the major 3 tribes by population are Hausa, Yoruba and Fulani.

From another clean data from biometric linked to GSM numbers, 80% Igbo population live in the 5 Igbo states that make up the South East. That is why Igbo communities in the South East are the least diversified.

20% live outside SE and most live in states bordering the 5 SE states like Rivers, Delta, Kogi, Benue.

Fewer Igbo live in far away places like Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and Kano. That is why even if elections are conducted iin those far away states ,Igbo can not determine the outcome.

SW and NW are already in the kitty for Asiwaju Tinubu.

HE Atiku can have SE with the least populous zone with the least number of registerd voters as usual wink
2023 victory is done and dusted for Asiwaju Tinubu.

Once again, politics of lies, bigotry and hate l'ule.

Please I want to know because I like Amala and I have bought rubbish elubo couple of times. My Mother/Sis-in-law helps with the buying now. Them na master. I only know Lafun. I sometimes don't know when yam and cassava have been mixed together. Not a bad combo though but Lafun upsets my system.
get a filter d one they use to sieve the flour

Filter the flour to be bought

For cassava there are fibre like white residual

For yam black residual

For plantation octagonal brownish residual

So black and white means yam and cassava

Brown and White -cassava and plantain

Black and Brown -plantain and yam

*However smooth the flour is there is always a residue

Don't forget to show appreciation once you've tried it out

*That is six year of experience in the elubo business up there*

cassava is for Amala lafun, yam is for Amala isu( gbodo). Both are amala. There is also Amala from unripe plantain.

Some of the sellers are just wicked. Because yam is quite expensive, they mix some other whatever to the yam flour and sell as pure yam flour... So you need to be an expert to know what you are buying...
do u want to learn how to differentiate them cos I once sold all the elubo flour including that of cocoyam and potato

Amala is processed yam, not cassava.

Amala is made from raw yam, cut into thin slices, soaked and dried then milled into the off white flour that becomes Amala.

Some people also use the back of the yam, this type of Amala is very black and the flour is brown in colour.

The original Elubo for Amala, called "gbodo" is quite expensive but the end product is a fluffy, smooth and rich swallow with an inviting aroma.

What I believe that family ate is "lafun".
Westin corn sign lafun corn sign Amala ?
