Yankee101:
One speaker will be boring
Several good heads means several good ideas

They couldn't discuss in their house and reach a conclusion before inviting the general public?
What kind of confused set of people ate those?

Wealthoptulent:
Nationale poverty as turned many to VOCATIONAL & MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS: IYA ti je ori omo elomi danu

Exactly

Well, western nations make their money by producing and exporting all kinds of goods and electronics.. Cars, aeroplanes, furniture, bicycles, almost every gadget surrounding you right now, even your pant. So their people are very busy working. No time to talk long stories.
Nigeria doesn't do any of this. So there's enough people around to talk-talk long unnecessary stories in every event. They have nothing else to do.
At the end of the event people go home more confused than before they came and Nigeria's problem continues
.

Towncrier007:
Too much shakara will make them single at 30

Unfortunately, like in the US where they have the "American Dream", Nigeria also has "The Nigerian Dream".
Job, house car, marriage...
It's the men that should get the Job, house and car... Then pick the woman and marry.
The women are not seeing this happening from the men they know.
In fact the men are all hustling and just barely managing.
-
The solution is just to lower expectations and accept that we live in shitty times, despite all the internet and computers.
And just marry a decent hardworking guy regardless of what property he has or not.

blessingnenye:
A lot of ladies are scared of 30. What's really wrong with 30? Why so dreadful with the age, after all it's just a number!!! Even with a lot of accomplishments, being 30 and single can be so pressurizing among out ladies, owing to the pressures from families and society to get married. Sometimes, this pressure sums up the reason why majority delve into an unfruitful marriage.

May watch a little of this man, Kevin Samuels.
He gives relationship advice to women and tells them what is what.
The importance of their age, what type of women men like, what type of man would likely find you and why
... etc.
Women have biological clock to menopause. And the older you get unmarried, the less likely they are to bear children,
settle down and live with a family.
Modern working-all-the-time women with their degrees and certificates all over the place, tend to head towards lonely single life.
Don't let western women's ideals detract you from being a proper woman.

Unless you have THIS particular car, DON NOT ever try over speeding.

Anybody have this thing for sale?
Makes holding slippery phones much better.

Mozegee:
.more than senseless. And tribalism and religion has reset their brains

It's a matter of national orientation.
During military era, we used to have adverts on radio and TV for national orientation... War against indiscipline and other nation building activities. Since we began this democracy freedom., none of that anymore. People chose to do whatever they like, but unfortunately we are not working together to build our nation. Just freely working against each other and destroying our country each day.

sofeo:
These Maids, ppl should just restrict their access to kitchen, limit them only to cleaning activities in the house. That's all, even their cleaning activities must be monitored.

They aren't that smart or wise now, so why should you allow them give you issues.

A wrong assumption. "They aren't that smart".
Please they are smart. In this age of smart phone, they are all smart.

A case in point. One Nigerian big woman, feeling the usual big headedness of Nigerian women, decided to go to london
with her kids and she carried their maid as well.
Well, the maid got to interact with oyibo people (she must go to market na abi?) who found out how low her salary was and how Nigerian madam treats her like fool.
Once maid understood how much UK minimum wage (abi domestic maid wages) is in GBP, she started demanding from madam O.
And she threated to report for slavery/oppression stuffs.
Madam wey no get money to employ or oppress oyinbo maid and pay GBP, but she dragged Nigerian maid to London and was shouting at that one.
Madam wan cry. Maid no respect madam again!
I heard the story over a phone conversation.

Fafarr:
Ewo..... This looks terrible. That's why it's advised that you treat you domestic staffs well. Be good to them but don't take nonsense.

Just kukuma be prepared to manage your whole household by yourself.
-
The last security guy we had in our house, just opened gate and walked away one morning.
We dey inside shout, dey shout him name, call him phone... no answer.
From that day, no more.
We manage our compound by ourselves. Everything.

grandstar:
She looks Indian or coloured. I'm finding it hard to place her.

Help guys?

Well, the indegenes of SA are the khoikhoi tribe. If you remember the movie, "The gods must be crazy".
It can be that she's from their tribe.
Just saying sha.

Jewessgratitud3:
Guys, marriage is not chere wereh. Be financially prepared when planning a wedding and stop making the woman feel bad at the end of the day like she caused your downfall.

You are the one who went for her hand in marriage so you should be very ready on all levels to go through with it and provide all that is required in the list and for the ceremony. This why I said some time ago that a guy earning 100k can not get married and many came for me. You will end up borrowing at one point or the other.


Why he's ignoring the lady in the new marriage now is what I don't get. Dem force am? Biko kwa. Make una dey hold enough before talking about marriage and wedding ceremony.

Wedding and Reception is one day.
Marriage is for the remaining years.
But you people want to finish all the money in one day's event.
-
All you people that like to eat big rice and meat at the wedding should carry your food there and eat. The man has already said he don't have money. Do you want to kill him?

MoneySavannah:
Late sleeping.

You are worried about Nigerias problem.
Pray to God and hand over.
You can't solve all the problems.

ThinkSmarter:
Why arrange marriage/due diligence works is that most ladies chosen by the elder member of the family involved are usually the most well behaved.
And it happens most in a conservative society with little western influence.

There's one black American guy on YouTube that gives marriage advice.
He said that DATING was invented around 1950s for the sole purpose of gift card sellers to sell cards. That's all.
That all through history, men and women don't waste time checking and crosschecking each other. Just marry first and adjust yourselves inside the house.

oneolajire:
HRs can write a lot of nonsense.

Cost of living is rising, companies increase their charges for executing contracts as well as increase prices of their goods and services. But when it comes to increasing workers salaries, they behave like robots.


Slave labour in several private sector, while the bosses live large. All taking advantage of high unemployment in the country.

Rubbish dot com

The aim of the company is to USE YOU to make AS MUCH profit as possible.
They are not a charity organisation and do not give a F*** about your salary.
They will even like you to WORK FREE for them if possible.

addexx:
Salary increase?. Like una wan die for salary jobs?
Except you are lucky to belong to the top earners of top companies, no company can fully fund your lifestyle.

So whatever you earn, use it as leverage to build assets, learn more skills and grow so you can get more opportunities.

Instead of hoping your company give you a raise, raise your your thinking faculty

Exactly!

Just write a resignation letter and leave.
Go and find the place that will value you more and negotiate salary before starting. You can't be begging someone that doesn't value you to value you by force. Pack and leave.

IconicR:
So tribe is still a major factor in Nigeria marriages? It's sad.

obembet:
US is most difficult one to get o

Well, US has always been difficult.
They want people who are rich and successful already to go to their country. So you will continue to be rich and successful there as well.
If you are already failing here in NIgeria, they won't like that you go to their country and fail and add to their burden again.

when you have a really heavy load, you just add more wheels to prevent the frame from bending.

Blaze14k:
It's not possible to still leave in stone age, the world is evolving. The issue of boko haram is about security it is the duty of the government to take care of security. Few animals in the forest can't feed a whole community.

The same government that couldn't give the village people jobs in the cities?
The same government that can't pay it's own police properly so that every police station will have light, computer internet and database with CCTV etc to be able to track criminals?
Same goverment that allowed same police to kill people in Lekki tollgate, October 2020, because people were even protesting that enough of police fraustration and brutality due to their own LOW PAY salaries?
It's that same government that should still go and send police to pursue and capture bokoram in the bush, ...
... so that local village people can go back there and do their farming in peace, however they like to do it...
I understand that this is a complex issue.
The people however have EVERY right not to trust the government anymore for their own good.
Government that even changes election results under democracy?
See Niger coup, similar thing will happen in Nigeria. Military will just chase away all politicians.
Watch how Niger security and peace will begin to improve.

captianfreeman:
This is cruelty against the innocent animal. This is what continually threaten wild life, some species of these wild lives are the on brink of extinction.

The government must put measures in place to protect these wild lives for the health of our eco system.

These measures should include heavy fine, and if necessary, jail term should be meted out to these hunters.

And the people nko?
The people should eat what?

Blaze14k:
Nigerians are pure barbarians. We are the cave men the west talk about. Life to average Nigerian is survive anyhow u can no matter what it takes

We were farming before white men came.
They came and said we should go to cities to work.
People filled up the cities now and no jobs.
When they go back to villages to farm, bokoharam and criminals are waiting for them in the bush.
And no police protection in those farm/bush areas.
So how are they to survive now?
Please answer.

sunsweet33:
So they don’t even have enough plumbers over there What do their own native working population actually do then? seems like most of them are bloggers and tiktokers.

All those skills acquisition they kept nagging at us finally came to reality. Maybe they also need slippers makers and people who know how to make soap and creams

It's not funny when a carpenter/plumber will be covered with dirty, sweating under the sun...carrying heaving tools, heavy wood and pipes up and down the place. After he finishes, you will come and be pricing his work again...
Then one stupid Tiktok girl will open nyash on phone and people will be sending in $$$$ like crazy.
Skilled trades will just stop their work and go and learn another thing.

OndoRaph:
Whenever I eat pasta based products like spaghetti and macroni, my entire body seems to swell the next morning when I wake, especially my face, hands and legs. For the face, I even feel the weight of sudden chunky skin even without a reflection in the mirror. What could possibly be the explanation to this. Am I alone or any other person feels same?

Stop eating Spaghetti.
This is nigeria. One idiot may have sold you expired pasta.
Or there's a specific chemical you are allergic to.
Maybe you have oyibo sickness, "gluten intolerance".

Antoeni:
Think of This & Live

This is full of oil and fat.
After a while, your arteries will clog up with cholesterol
you swell up, obese and die.
You're not even sure of the quality of oil used in that food.
Can be recycled gutter oil.
Remember this is Nigeria. There's nothing one 'bastard' will not do.
Tomorrow you will see NAFDAC showing the picture of one idiot they caught.

Mhizzard:
[i][/i]
How can people be so mannerless when it comes to using of toilet...most of them can't try that nonsense with their own toilet at home...

They are animals and they shit in the bush on a normal day.
Once they see any type of public facility, they mess it up.

1Sharon:
She cannot easily remarry with 4 kids.

She's a fucking lunatic.
And EVERY MAN will see that.
Never touch another man's wife.

qtx:
FOR BETTER OR WORSE People just walk into these marriages pretending to understand and accept that statement, but hmmmmm i shake my head.

Don't mind the bloody idiot.

People that jump into marriage because of status.
Immediately the first challenge comes along, they jump out and abandon their spouse.

CuriousStudent:
I am female.
Answer simple question.

If you were a man,just starting life and your wife has an accident that makes her permanently bedridden. You will have to bathe her,clean her poo,bathe and care for four kids,cook,clean,wash,and still go to work,infact you are doing the duties of both husband and wife. Will you take up this new way of life while your mate are clubbing,partying and women changing or you will return her to her parents and drop your kids with relatives while sending money to both of wife and kids.

Yes or no?( No long talk,just yes or no)

Did you not SWEAR before God and Man on your wedding day, when you took your wedding oath to each other?
In sickness and in health
For richer for poorer.
In good times and in bad times.
Till death do us part.
-
Those that did not swear this oath are called single unmarried people.

This is the oath you swear right there on your wedding day.

If you cannot swear it, or have No Fucking idea what it means...
PLEASE DO NOT MARRY ANYBODY.
STAY SINGLE.

GboyegaD:
Heights. Once I go past 10th floor, it is hard for me to go out to the balcony and when I do, I get scared to look down.

I have tried many rollercoasters with height and those ones I am okay with but standing on balconies still get me scared as it seems there's always something trying to pull me down.

It's called gravity.
Gravity pulls objects down.
Roller coaster eh?
We don't have roller coasters in Nigeria. So you must be in some western country.
Yeah. And western countries have even taller buildings than Nigeria. So how will you now cope?

Other Nigerians. They are unpredictable.
