5 COMMON BELIEFS AMONG
NIGERIANS.
This article is not meant to
dispute or ridicule the
following beliefs, it is just an
observation about some
commonly held beliefs among
Nigerians.
5 common beliefs among
Nigerians.
1.EVERYBODY IS CORRUPT.
Most Nigerians tend to hold
the view that corruption is in-
born in every Nigerian. This is
why many blatantly disagree
to see anyone as a saint even
without concrete evidence that
such a person is corrupt.
Majority of Nigerians also tend
to justify official corruption by
asking ‘if na you, you no go
chop your own?’
2. FINANCIAL SUCCESS IS
ONLY POSSIBLE WITH
DISHONESTY.
This is another funny opinion
held by many Nigerians, we
tend to agree that outstanding
financial success is impossible
unless and until ingredients of
dishonesty and illegality is
employed in it’s preparation.
This is one of so many reasons
at one point in time or the
other, accusing fingers have
been pointed at popular
successful Nigerians, even
when the sources of income for
such individual are open for
all and sundry to see. Dangote,
Femi Otedola , the late M.K.O
Abiola and a host of others are
victims of this belief.
3.‘CONNECTIONS’ ARE THE
MOTHERS OF CARRIER
SUCCESS.
Most Nigerians tend to posit that
if you don’t have ‘long-legs’,
you just might not get anywhere
no matter how many ‘papers’ are
in your folder. Many job seekers
believe that they can never get a
job unless and until they are
connected to influential
individuals within their carrier
circle, in fact many job seekers
prefer seeking connections than
jobs. Same goes for students
contractors, technicians and so
on. One absurd question many
people ask about the choice of a
university applicant is : ‘do you
have someone there?’. While this
belief may be empirical on many
occasions, some organizations
still have transparency which
beats this theory ‘hands down’.
4.THERE ARE THREE SOURCES
OF FAST MONEY.
This particular belief is almost
unanimously held by Nigerians.
The society itself is a living
witness to this as the
populations of footballers and
musicians among the youths is
astounding, and will be more
flabbergasting should a proper
count be conducted. It is worthy
of note, that one of the first
owners of private jet in Nigeria is
a footballer, this can pass for
one among the many reasons
for the rise of footballing as
future ambition of many youths.
A careful observer of talent hunt
shows in Nigeria will agree the
population of Musicians is
almost equal to the population
of music fans. The recently
concluded MTN project fame
serves as a successful case
study. My university alone
boasts of not less than 100
musicians who only see
education as a second choice,
need I add that almost every
street in Lagos state has a
musician? If you doubt this
kindly attend one or two street
Jamz in the month of December.
When I paid a visit to the area
where I grew up in 2011. I was
surprised that 5 out of my 8
childhood friends were already
full-time musicians, talent?
right?
As for politics, we all know the
story…
5. PRAYER SOLVES ALL
PROBLEMS .
Many Nigerians would readily
advice you to pray over
anything. from the most
complicated problems to the
minutest of problems.little
wonder why religious
organizations have been
converted into money spinning
ventures over the years. Even
Tai Solarin, a pioneer atheist in
Nigeria when quizzed about the
failure of the 'people's bank' in
the early 90s had to
acknowledge that 'only God
knows why'. In recent times,
countless religious organizations
and even the Government has
sponsored several prayer
sessions in a bid to stamp out
corruption from the country but
a million-dollar question is left
unanswered 'was corruption
created by God?

Iba town Osun state!!! Olugbuyi royal family!!!
Iba town was founded by Akerewogbowin a hunter who came all the way from Ife! he had seven children among whom is Aina, people from other towns also traced his step and. started settling at Iba. there was a time a fire incident occurred and burned his palace to. Ashes, his sons were busy packing valuables like crown and treasures from the palace, while only Aina was concerned about their father, she went ahead to rescue him since he was too old to walk and since then he made a rule that all Aina's descendants have title to the throne and that any of Aina's descendants who attain the throne will spend at least 30 years before they die, quite surprisingly , Three of Aina's descendants have attained the throne and the least of their reign is 38 years.....If I may add, I'm a descendant of Aina....

asks hgd hgdj are are

Ivyluvie2: toh!my thoughts too,when no be say the MADAM FUNKE,dey watch am for house...i tire

Lov deprived me of. the ability to reason in that direction! I wonder what ur reaction would be when I reveal crazier things I did!

Teci: "She hanged up with that statement
and without any further
contemplation; I disappeared to
my Aboki shop."

should be

"She hung up with that statement and without further contemplation, I dashed straight to my Aboki's shop".
My humble opinion though.
BTW Funke does nt need 2 knw dat you did nt eat the noodles or does she?
LOLLLLLLLLLL!

Funke knew virtually everything about me! y do u think we spent hours on phone?
@ ur correction ,u are right but 'hanged ' is. also a past tense of hang. likewise 'hung' the difference is. that "hanged" is old-fashioned and probably archaic. I'll accede to ur correction. Thanks for following

one shouldn't look upto others in the fight against corruption, maladministration and national 'lootery'.
it is everybody's business, our corrupt leaders are only representing the corrupt followers as well for every leader was once a follower.
Finally, it is. not. enough to criticize the government, what have you done in ur own capacity against it

Thanks man! hope u enjoyed reading it,?

I thought the wedding was to hold abroad? abi dem no get money ni?

can you imagine? and. CNN was swift to. report yesterday that the abductors are not British Nationals. I wonder the day whites would accept the fact that they are fallible.

booked!

She hung up with that statement and without any further contemplation; I disappeared to my Aboki shop. I had almost forgotten my huge debt I owed the Aboki, I only remembered when he trickishly asked whether I had come to settle him. I was left with no option of course, than to ‘settle’ him, it was after the settlement that I got to know the magnitude of my debt. I was left with just 400 naira.

I bought two sachets of Indomie noodles and 3 eggs to go with it. I returned to my room and set to achieve the great task ahead. i brought out my kerosene stove to, and to my surprise, I found it covered with dust and emptiness, so dry was the stove that when first I poured the kerosene I found in my roommate’s container, it dried up instantly. After boiling the noodles and frying the egg, I bolted my door as if to counter any impediment to the accomplishment of my task.

So cautious and courteous was I at the point of serving myself to the extent that I served myself in one of the new plates I had brought from home at the beginning of the semester. I sat peacefully on my bed and fetched the first spoonful of my meal, for reasons I don’t understand, the spoon moved slowly, almost slower than the pace of a snail’s movement, and when it got to the front of my lips, I suddenly lost control. I lost control of my lips for they failed to part ways and allow passage for the spoon. I concluded this was due to thirst, I drank half a cup of water and started all over again, this time, it was even tougher, not only did my lips failed to part, the spoon itself became too heavy for my hand…..Oh! Indomie.

I repeated the same process over and over again and the only difference was that each trial became tougher than the previous. After each failed trial, I smiled at my stupidity, trying to ease off the tension, but that itself was far from being the solution. After over an hour of failed trial at accomplishing Lady Funke’s wish, my stupidity became irritating to me and I gave up (in Yuzedo’s voice).

In order not to waste the food, I headed to Mt’s room to donate the food to ever-ready stomachs. I met don jazz at the verandah of the room and we exchanged pleasantries. Mt was in the room playing games with other students when I entered. I explained my condition to him, and for the first time, he showed enthusiasm about what he had always referred to as stupidity. I guess hunger caused it….for when hunger gets to its peak; one can admire the meal of a dog. In a jiffy, boys pounced on my wasted food after which don jazz remarked; ‘lover boy, ur madness today make sense o’

I was less concerned about anybody’s remark at that point, the issue at hand was Funke’s wrath…how was I to explain my failure to her?

to be continued soon

quit that relationship even if u have to jump. the fence. I know u ll be thinking it's impossible but I can assure you that a sharper guy is involved...
otherwise get another gf and make her a supplement albeit incognito... even if she comes around make sure u shatter her heart into. rags!
Stupid girl of a dull boyfriend!

do u rather prefer ur dad being a sugar daddy to many small girls than him having a second wife? and to think you are a male, you should be objective enough to welcome the idea!
I prefer my dad gets a second wife than for him to engage in shameful acts.
I could go on and on to list reasons but I know after everything people ll still crucify me so lemme stop hear!

Hello everyone! I just created my blog and I've been trying to publish some of my articles to no avail. each time I get 'an error occurred while trying to publish ur post please try again '

please What's d solution?

That morning I received a call from my mum and she complained about me not calling her. Since my dad had set a rule that I mustn’t lay any complain about my finance or whatsoever at school to my mum, I limited my contact with her in order not to invoke the wrath of a soldier man. But that morning I broke the rule, I told her of my hand to mouth situation at school, which made me unable to afford card and in extension, my inability to call her. I clearly omitted the ASUU STRIKE development during my conversation with her for reasons best known to me.


The by-product our conversation that morning was a voice filled with worry due to my complaints. I was happy, not because my sweet mother was worried, but I knew her worry would produce something positive. My anticipation wasn’t in vain unlike the labour of our 'heroes past' that is now in vain. About an hour later when the message tone of my phone rang, I didn’t bother to check the message. In its stead, I raced majestically to the ATM arena just opposite my faculty to see what sweet mother had for me. 3000 naira wasn’t bad after all for a housewife who survived on monthly ‘soup money’.

I withdrew 2k out of the 3k and recharged my line with the remaining 1k. I called my mum to appreciate her message whereupon she asked me to keep it from my dad ‘as usual’. When I got to my room, I met my roommates packing their belongings in preparation for the ‘vacation’, and within 30 minutes, I was the only one left in the room. This afforded me the freedom to call my darling Funke right there in the room unlike when I had to go creep to the bush or sports centre to make calls.
By noon on after eating and taking my bath, I retired to my bed and the call began. She received my call at the other end of the phone with a harsh voice of ‘is this when you are supposed to call’ and as usual I went on my knees, no thanks to the absence of my roommates, and pleaded her pardon as I responded to her query. I acknowledged her message which I got the previous day; I playfully asked whether she truly meant the contents of her message whereupon she replied ‘I don’t know’.

Her reply somewhat hurt me, but I skillfully covered my change of emotion and diverted the topic to the poem I sent her. She requested I recite it to her hearing and much to my delight. I activated my sweet voice and acceded to her request (I have a fairly good voice o). She kept repeating ‘hmmn’ all through the recitation, and at the end I got an ‘okay’ in place of ‘thank you sweetheart’ which I was expecting. Nevertheless I took solace in the fact that I was happy just hearing her voice, be it insult or indifference.
The call went on and on for over an hour touching different topics. What was there to bother about airtime when the heart was joyful? At a point in time she asked why I despised eating noodles and, I told her it I had never eaten it all my life and didn’t plan to in the farthest future.
‘Will u do me a favour’ she asked
‘Anything for you dearest’ I replied in anxiety.
‘Okay, thank you. I want u to go and cook indomie now and eat it, call me when you are through bye’
‘But u know that’s not possible’ I said in protest.
‘Remember u promised to do anything for ur love'
