SpencerForbes:
I’ve got some questions:

— What if both of them are earning #100,000 ?🤔

— If you’re able to save 30k monthly, what’s stopping any of them from starting a side hustle like POS or provision sales?

— Let’s imagine the lady is industrious and has a skill (hairdressing or make up skills) what’s stopping you from marrying her?

— If you’re above forty but you have a house and everything is put in place, why shouldn’t you get married?

— If the family is supportive and don’t need an elaborate wedding for now till you’re okay, should you still boycott marriage?

Hmm.
If lady is industrious and earning same N100k, she will lose respect for the man.
Afterall, she's earning same as him.
She can even put leg inside same trousers as him.
Respect is lost.

Ok
What will now happen to them now that they're suspended?

I thought the two of them started fighting.

dederocs:
Exactly what bokoharam wants...these people are sinister.

We are TOO gentle in this country.
TOO much .
Boko Haram is kidnapping and killing, then posting their dirty faces in Tiktok Instagram and NOBODY is fighting back? The WHOLE NIGERIA? Army, Police, Air Force, Navy... Nobody?
Chai!
Chai!
Chai!

It’s worrying that insecurity is forcing schools to close at all levels. While safety has to come first, prolonged closures can seriously affect students’ learning and future opportunities. The government really needs to address the root causes urgently, not just the symptoms.

Not just the symptoms.

Well, students will learn that Nigeria is insecure.

irumole1975:
I didn’t know what to say so I just left her on read. And I liked one of the msgs where she prayed for me. I wish her well tho

You have been saved from wasted money on nonsense hair style.

Caaz:
I Never said he pilfered my atm cards o....na the small purse he kolobi take kawa.

Well, thank God it wasn't phone or ATM cards.

Kharol1234:
So no punishment alright we wait for the next event on board.

Punish VDM? With his all his wealth?
Who will buy their air ticket? Abeg O.
It's only poor people that receive punishment in this Nigeria.

Inspirer1:
How were you able to determine àll these just by seeing a picture online??
Fact/Truth is that no matter how healthy anyone is, when the time comes, it won't exceed that micro second!

People don't do checkups.
They might just not be able to afford going to see a doctor.
Regular checkup is necessary.
God gave you the health.
It's up to you to take care of it.

This man had poor health.
Either he couldn't afford to treat it or he ignored it.
May he rest in peace.

oglalasioux:
Exactly what you guys are doing here on Nairaland.

Exactly!!!
You get it now!

Bittersweetnig:
What is name checking again

Checking the names of the individuals mentioned in the news story to confirm if they are White or Black.
Black and white people hate each other (racism) and never exchange names.
-
Black men always... Leroy, DeAndre, Jahmir, Jayce, Kenan, Tahj
Black women always... Sheniqua, Laquisah, Diamonique, Elquisha, Shanice
--
White men always... Chad, Hunter, Alex, or biblical names James, John, Peter..
White women... Rose, Merryl, Sandra, Kate,..
--
There's a clear pattern. It's so clear that when black people apply for a job in a predominately "White" company, they
change their name to a "White" name on their CV to even be considered for the job in the first place.

obagofizzy:
Me self no understand sha but make I comment

America is a racist country but they're just making jokes about race.
If you follow some comedy of their skits, you'd pick up on their stereo types.
Black Americans typically answer funny "lost" names like Sheniqua, Laquan, Leroy...
White people usually answer names like Chad, Chet, Hunter (Hunter Biden)...
Black parents hardly ever give their children white names, and white parents never give their children black names.
The hatred is there.
-
White people always expect black people to be poor/no money.
Food Stamps is a kind of coupon/paper slip that very poor people get and use to buy food.
So the "coupon" joke, the white man was expecting it to be owned by a "poor suffering black woman"....
but the story goes that the woman was actually White! So a poor suffering white woman! And that's why the black woman was happy.
-
As for rock climbing --- Such is a privileged activity done by mostly white people
Search google images for "rock climbing" and 100% of the pictures are white people.
In US, the state of Utah is mostly populated by the Mormon church group who are 99% white.
Most of Utah is filled with White people.
So for the joke of the man that went "Rock climbing" in "Utah National Park"... they would expect the must surely be a privilege white man
But it turns out that it was a black man who did that. And all the Black people are angry at him for following white people culture.
...
It's just a thing about taking interest in American culture.
Comedians like Dave Chappelle, use this type of logic to make their jokes, point out clear systemic racism in America and challenge government and media. A few others are also learning to speak the truth, fearlessly like him.

raypapy:
Nothing last forever...
Accept this
Accept reality of life

But these things are history
The existed first so that today's equipment can exist now.
And if the saying is true, that "those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"...
... then we're definitely going to hit an apocalyptic event that will wipe away ever digital device,...
.... and we go right back to manual methods of everything.

ARISHEM:
Direct meaning is that his crime over there is not punishable in Nigeria

He committed the crime there. So he should stay there in their prison till the end of his sentence.

Dem dey buy fuel
Dem go soon start to come.

DoctorShomo:
The woman was answering the call of nature, they should cut her some slack please

Na this offence go first carry Nigerians inside prison for Yankee.

One day we will wake up and find ourselves floating around in outer space.
God will remove the earth from under us, and allow everybody to find their level.
What is all this fight that cannot finish? For land on earth that you did not create?

Kobicove:
Is it really necessary to have so many ties?

Well it helps if you have only 2 shirts and 1 trouser.
Just be changing tie everyday.
People will be following the ties and forget you're wearing only 2 cloth.

MadamExcellency:
That's a good thing to do. How much we they offer us to rebuild the factory after 18 years?

They already have tires.
You don't have.
You're the one that needs them.

Igbophobia:
That's not surprising. Their country are the new Slave masters of the Nigger Area. When is Tinubu visiting France again? These white people are very clever. From Britain to France. The slavery and leeching on the Blaackman never ends. 600 years and counting. Meanwhile the Africaan chiefs are still feeling the euphoria of their mirrors, walking sticks and gin while Africa bleeds.

and the African chiefs keep smiling...

African chiefs, presidents, governors, rich people.... HATE poor people.
And do everything to make sure the poor people remain poor and under their control.
They so much love to do this "CONVOY" of a thing.
"Make dem see say I don arrive"...
That mentality is engrained in every elite. For what purpose?
They will do anything to keep the poor, poorer, let the poor be lining up the streets.
But Europe/West will try much to pass their leader through public utilities as much as possible.

PerfectStranger:
Men who dont drink or smoke, how do y'all cope with life challenges and it shenanigans?

Try to get a bicycle.
At least from like N60k, you can get a nice 2nd hand.
Take it and ride up and down till you faint.
It will take you to many places.
This is mine. I rode to the beach on the "so called" coastal road.

breadtoaster:
Please, those of you who are married — how do you cope?

I am married to someone I don’t think is my friend. We dated before marriage, but during that time, I had a very senior friend whom I always ....... starved tooo.

I just saw this on Youtube.
Watch/listen to the end and message back.

chrysso83:
My first phone was Motorola T190 but my first memorable phone was Nokia 3660

I was managing Ericson T28.
A friend visited and came with that your phone, Nokia 3660. The thing was fat!
First and last time I saw that phone.
I didn't know the model number then.

They dashed me Ericson
2003.
The thing could hardly pick signal.
I didn't even know anyone to call.

Anyway, it just takes an aluminium roofing company to setup shop in a location.
People start buying the roofing sheets
and the brown roof saga is ended.

You can build anything.
Just put your mind to it.

Love800:
Who is responsible for the recycling?

And what do you mean by "recycling" in this context?

Hmm. This one is hard as it plays DIRECTLY into our culture and psyche. What we (black Nigerians) value and how we (black Nigerians) treat our environment.
-
I was thinking about the Netherlands that has the best waste recycling system in the world.
I just researched a bit about how it was formed.
This is the summary:
The Dutch waste recycling system was not "set up" by one single entity at one time. It has evolved over decades through a combination of government policy driving sustainability goals and significant private sector investment and innovation in collection, sorting, and reprocessing technologies. The government sets the rules and ensures basic service delivery (often via municipalities), while the private sector provides the operational backbone, technology, and end-market for recycled materials, often under the framework of EPR. This collaboration is key to its success

So applying this to Nigeria,
we just have to STOP SHITTING UP AND DOWN THE PLACE LIKE DIRTY PEOPLE!!!!

Slippy:
It can only be a South African

A Nigerian girl could never 😂

On a VERY NORMAL DAY,
South African women are traditionally naked...
So already, they're behaving somehow right from the village.

CoronaVirusPro:
In as much as I commend such move by the Great Óbá of Benin, It would have been more appreciated if the Oba can use same authority to ban market women, land owners, transporters extortion.

That will go a long way. Since many governors are too dumb to make the move, the Great Óbá of Benin should lead.

Who is in charge of the people ?
Governor or Oba?
People cannot be having multiple masters.

What is it with nairaland with food topics



Xxxxx

People are so hungry, they have no money to buy food.
So they just look at pictures of food and talk about the picture of food.

Lies.
Pictures of YOU INSIDE the kitchen before I believe.
-
You're just showing pictures of food.
Anybody can do that.
This one is my own kitchen.
