Venymen:
Some PhD holders go forward am too

Truth is, majority of Nigerian population are not intelligent

Ofadaman:
I'm glad none of my friends sent this to be, it's a good sign that I'm connected to reasonable people

Congratulations

Bestie01:
For me, anyone that sent that,I replied with automatic deletion from my friends list.rubbish.

That means you will soon become friendless.

HenryDion:
That's how you know the level of a person's intelligence. Anyone that sends me such gets a free ticket outta my contact list.

How many contact you won delete? You won't believe how many I've got so far

If you forwarded this message or any of it's variants on facebook or WhatsApp and you're a graduate, you really need to reexamine your common sense

uptownmusic:
I repeat what I said, if you seek peace you get, if you seek war and destruction you get.

No one gets what he seeks. Many people seek peace but they get war. People seek prosperity but get poverty. You think everyone who obeyed sit at home yesterday did so because they wanted to or because they're IPOB? You think every notherner wants sharia? You think every Afghan wants Taliban? Even at national level, what is termed national interested is the interest of a few people, but do you have a choice? The actions or inactions of. People, tribes, regions, organizations, governments etc affects both members and non members directly or indirectly

Ok

I'll link my in the last week of October. My network providers have been making me mouthwatering offers in oder to lure me into linking. The offer keeps increasing. RN Mtn has offered me 2k airtime and I know it will always get better

It's still a mystery how covid 19 killed millions of people in other continents but lost it's killing powers once it entered Africa.

You are toxic

Failed politics. Twitter is not talking about the ban. The masses are not talking about it. Only the federal government is talking about it.

Me think, the ban of twitter has even made the fg more unpopular

The eleventh commandment:
Thou shall not be caught

Great story. In addition, young and intelligent teachers should be recruited, school structures rehabilitated and most importantly, the useless curriculum currently in use should be thrown into the Atlantic and new one developed

You must not have sisters. No way could your father and mother have brought up ashewos!

You got my attention, save it in your bank account because it's the last

LilMissFavvy:
Why do men feel that ladies take care of their bodies to attract the male folks? majority of we ladies take good care of ourselves so that we feel good and have a good self esteem. Nothing makes a woman happy as standing before the mirror and you like the reflection you see. How about natural looking ladies? Do they also spend heavily to attract men? Such ladies go natural, yet have men flocking around them. I really needed to correct this impression, you need to know that looking good is in the nature of women, infact some men also spend good money and time on their looks.

Women this, women that, but if you lots were to see a good woman you treat her like trash, that's why some of today's women prefer money to love, just let them be.

Baby girl, if you score 70% in most exams, it is an A, there's no difference between you and the person that scores 100%, both are As. My point? If 70% of ladies behave alike, it is sociallly safe to generalize that women behave that way. But that doesn't mean there are no exceptions. Most girls are prostitutes while most guys do illegal stuffs to make money. It's an acceptable generalization; it doesn't mean there are no exceptions. You get me?

JovialJune:
In the 70s, there were ashawos everywhere so life was about money and sex, the reason why it is known these days is because of technology and the internet, who knows what your mother was and how she made your father marry her.

Your assertion is not totally correct. There were ashawo those days. Members of the society could easily point to those that were into the trade. They were distinctively few and easily identifiable by their mode of dressing and grooming; the society frowned at it. It was grossly outlawed people that could have the effrontery to engage in prostitution.

Today, what internet has done now is to:
1. glorify prostitution
2. Create conducive environment for prostitution to strive
3. Bridge the gap between professional and coded prostitution and
4. Makes everyone (girls) to believe that prostitution is a normal thing.

This is ten years since I came to owerri. I've been to most cities in Nigeria. I can tell you confidently that almost all the girls in Nigeria are prostitutes. It wasn't that way from the 90s downward. Growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, I could still hear people talk about virginity while discussing marriage. Presently there's no such thing as chastity.

There were also few money ritualists in the past. Everyone in the society could point at them and they had clubs; societies. Today, almost every guy is pressing with many doing rituals. Bro, times have changed, "the land has changed"

budaatum:
You seriously need to up your game from the ashewos you been dating!

Your father likely did not marry an olosho and you shouldn't neither.

My father married in the 70s during a time when life was not about money and sex. Bro, 97% of people getting into marriage these days do so with Ashawo

Males are cash cows while females are intimacy gadgets.

After so many experiences and observations, I came to this pitiable but realistic conclusion. This explains why there is so much growth in commercialization of sex and yaoo yahoo.

The male gender just have to bring the money no matter "how". Once the money comes, the female gender are all around to spread their legs to have a share. For the females, greater percent of their investments is on their body so they could look more "sexually appealing" for the male gender who must make the money and come and patronize them.

At family level, the man must make the money to take care of the family, pay house helps, hire lesson teachers, etc. For the wife? She must look for ways to look sexy for the husband.

So in conclusion, if you're a woman, just look sexy; you're good to go even if you don't know how to wash your undies by yourself. If you're a man, just make money, if you like, fvck all the underage girls in your neighborhood, you're good to go.

uptownmusic:
Read properly, never rejoiced, just saying man gets what he seeks, if you seek peace you get, if you seek war you get. It's karma, common sense. Believe what you may. No one lives forever, but if you seek peace you and your generations will enjoy it, if you seek war it will come to you. Simple. What you believe or wish won't change the truth. It's a mystical world. There are 9billion people on this planet, the universe, elements and world is bigger than you and your peers. The earlier we live by reality the better. am not a Northerner. Everywhere, Libya, Syria, regions seeking violence destroy themselves. Don't take things personal, life is not all about you. This is internet, not your personal website or blog. Learn to ignore what you don't understand.

We are saying the same thing in different ways. But I want you to understand that there's no karma anything; however you make your bed, so you lie on it. Government must take proactive action to curtail senseless killing, that is why it is called GOVERNMENT. violence does not go away on it's own unless the root cause is tackled.

And don't ever think because your region is relatively calm, it doesn't concern you. The lessons of 9/11 should guide you

uptownmusic:
Nah, not me, maybe you since you support them, you reap what you sow...the region that self destruct itself will be destroyed. Wisdom is profitable. Life goes on, it never stops, even after world war 2, life still is...

I don't think those soldiers of northern origin that were victims of the killing supported them. Like I said, since you rejoice over killing, you may become their next victim.

uptownmusic:
No fire, those that want to be killing should continue, they will be no mercy when they are hunted and killed like rats.

You are right. But you might have become one of the victims before they meet their Waterloo

Political office holders should learn to guard their utterances. Everything shouldn't be politics. Nigeria is on fire. No part of the country is safe. In some quarters we don't even know who is responsible. Instead of government and it's agencies to conduct extensive research to unravel the mystery behind this killings and bring the perpetrators to book, many government officials are shamelessly pointing baseless accusing fingers in such a manner that suggests they are happy.

Is the exit of Abba Kyari the reason for killing in South East? Was he not there when police formations were attacked by UGM? THE INTEREST OF GOVERNMENT AT THIS CRITICAL TIME SHOULD BE TO UNRAVEL THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL THESE CANCEROUS PROBLEMS AND LOOK FOR WAYS TO ROOT IT OUT. OTHERWISE INCESSANT KILLINGS WILL CONTINUE TO BE A RECURRENT DECIMAL

I've lived most of my life as a tenant. I left home very early. I've had many experiences that I can't even begin to narrate now. I detest living in the same compound with my landlord, but where I find myself in such situation, I try to maintain a cordial, friendly relationship with the landlord. I don't care whether you're good or bad. But when you overdo, I show you the other side of me. One time, a landlord had to trace my father to our village just to report me to him because he tried everything humanly possible to ride me but he failed. Over all, I've had good relationship with my successive landlords. Let me just narrate this one.

During my undergraduate days, I stayed in this compound with the landlord. The compound was too built up that there was hardly space for ventilation. The landlord had this generator with one very loud funny sound. Whenever he is coming back in the evening he will come with fuel. The gen will be on till the fuel runs out normally around 2 or 3 am. Whenever the gen goes off you'll hear voices from neighboring compounds shouting 'thank God o', it was just so bad. But you can't do anything because he's an indigen.

I went home and brought my sweet sounding I pass my neighbor generator, the landlady had the effrontery to tell me that the sound of my own gen is disturbing her. One day I was in my room typing and printing as usual when my light went off, I went outside and discovered it was this woman that offed it. I became mad and charged towards her to beat her. Anger is not good; I totally forgot my home training Thankfully many people were around so they held me back. But I still finished her with mouth.

Later on she came and apologized saying she has never seen me in that mood before. People that witnessed my action that day said they saw terro in my eyes and wondered whether it was me because I am a very gentle and friendly person. Thereafter everything went back to normalcy

cj4humanity:
It's good for estate movement if the road is OK. I like cycling and walking

Very very OK within estates. But that temptation to trespass will always be there

GabriellePeake:
I understand your worries. Because of these dangers, my mother wouldn't let me ride my bike alone when I was a kid. It was very frustrating because all my friends were walking and riding around town, and I had to run after them. But now I realize that it was dangerous for a young child to ride alone like that. Now I wonder why my friends' parents allowed it. Maybe that's why I didn't learn how to ride a bike well and when my doctor advised me to take bike rides, the best solution for me was [color=black]TheBikersRide[/color].

People that grow up in suburbs and rural areas have no problem riding bicycle, unlike those in the cities. Many parents don't even consider risks associated with certain actions their children take

As a complaint person for a POS company, I usually deal with these kinds of cases everyday.

First check if the card with you right now is yours. It could have been swapped at the ATM and because the POS address is in Taraba does not mean it's being used there. Somebody can collect a POS from any state and use it anywhere.

Secondly, it's almost impossible for your ATM card to be used without them knowing your details. So find out from your closed friends and family members too who used it.

Thirdly ask yourself serious questions, are you sure you didn't do this transaction by yourself and you have forgotten about it. If you could not take notice of a transaction done on your account for close to two months, there's high possibility of you forgetting you carried out this transaction too.

If you're still in doubt, go to the bank and deactivate that card from your account and get a new one.

You can raise questions about this transaction for the next two years and still not get close to the answer. The POS agent WILL NOT have record of who used his POS to make withdrawals. Even if he had, no criminal will write down his correct details.

That's all I can say for now.

Considering your indept knowledge of this field, may I please ask you this question:
If a transaction declined on a POS terminal and the customer submits dispute form at his bank, and subsequently the banks tells him after several weeks that the money has cleared into the POS terminal, how do you rectify such issue?

Well I won't hastily conclude that this is fraud. But I just want you to know that POS means Point of Sale. Double check the transactions you have made and check the balance in your account to know if there's actually any shortage before you take action.

When you get to your bank, ask deep questions. Customer care agents can raise false alarm for Africa

I spent 2k for a journey of 6h between Nworiubi and Umuaka. No banks, no market, no school, no company opened in that axis. Umuaka was like cemetery

OkuFaba:
If na for Lagos, Danfo for Don kill you since, you would av been dead and gone.


All those danfo drivers wey their sense dey roll for their tire.

Lol. Traditional transporters are the same everywhere

chiefbuchiV12:
Was to highlight this same points of yours... It's a suicide mission in most if not all of our roads in Nigeria

you're correct

xpressionx:
Your legs go don long finish

lol. It's been six years since I did it

I was inspired by this thread. https://www.nairaland.com/6761227/why-cant-nigerians-adopt-cycling

The objective of this thread is to expose why Nigerians can't adopt cycling.

From my experience...
During my undergraduate days I spent a lot of money on transportation and a lot time on holdups due to the nature of business I did. To solve that, I bought a bicycle. Bicycle unarguably makes movements inexpensive and fast, but it comes with a lot dangers in unorganized societies like ours.

First, there are no bicycle lanes. If you drive on the service lane, transporters will hit you into the gutters. Drivers don't even see you as a road user. When they look at their mirror and see you coming, they don't feel like anything is coming. If you drive on the speed lane, Corolla drivers will run over you. You drive where pedestrians use, then you will have to carry your bicycle on your head. Even pedestrians don't reason you. They see bicycle coming, they keep going. They block you, you say sorry. You hit them, you say sorry. There's absolutely no provision for cyclers on our roads and there are no alternative routes either.

With time I developed a lion-like heart. I drive on the speed lane and dull all my senses to car horns and courses from drivers. I cycled as fast as my leg could carry to avoid causing obstruction for long and makes my journey faster.

Secondly, there are no parking lots for bicycles. If you're going to market, you'll end up carrying your bicycle on your head because nowhere is safe to park it; you can't even push it inside the market because everywhere is already jam-packed. I remember the day I went to Douglas road with my bicycle . It's a story for another day.

Third, comfortable cannot exist in the dictionary of a cycler. Imagine pedalling rapidly for 30 minutes in the morning to work or school? You will never feel comfortable for the rest of the day. Mind you, because of the nature of our roads, you can't pedal softly unless you're on the service lane; but you must have signed your death warrant...You can't move slowly on the speed lane.

Fourth, our roads are bad. Bicycle is good on dry land or paved roads. But I don't need to describe the nature of our roads.... I remember the day I fell inside a gutter right in front of our department at the full glare of my coursemates. Heavy rain caused flooding. Coming down from my bike means walking in the flood, so I kept moving slowly until I hit a pothole and fell inside a gutter. The experience is...

Summarily, bicycle should be strictly for sports and at designated sports locations unless you don't live in busy cities.
