Yes I would. There's nothing belittling about preparing food or cleaning one's environment. I don't understand why people have this backward mentality about chores. Yes, if I had my way I'd rather fix a light bulb or troubleshoot a computer malfunction or fix a car problem, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of cooking or keeping a clean environment. Both sexes instinctively gravitate towards certain tasks and I guess doing 'female chores' is considered demeaning because we perceive all things feminine inferior to all things masculine. That's why a girl wouldn't be derided for wielding a spanner and getting grimy working under the hood of a car while her guy is busy watching movies, but the image of a man rolling amala while his wife watches telemundo is enough to induce trauma. I don't subscribe to the whole male supremacy crap, I believe everybody should do what they're most comfortable with. If the woman is a mechanical and technological guru and the guy is a wizard in the kitchen, then I say live and let live. Enough of this 13th century ignorance

Family / Na Wa! This Baby Na 'bros' To Seyi Law's Baby. Behold A 13-pound Baby.-photo. by WaZoBiaLander: 5:36pm On Apr 12, 2017
COPIED FROM MSN NEWS.

Natashia Corrigan dreamed of having "a little fat baby," but she wasn't prepared for little Brian Liddle Jr.

The boy weighed in at 13 pounds, 4 ounces when he was born in January, shocking his mom.

"I'm still finding it hard to believe," Corrigan told Melbourne, Australia, newspaper the Herald Sun. "But by the end of the term, I was struggling just turning in bed and walking up the stairs at home."

The baby, notes the Herald Sun, is one of the biggest ever born in Australia. He came in at twice the average birth weight and now holds the heaviest baby record at the hospital where he was born, Mercy Hospital for Women outside of Melbourne. The largest baby ever born, according to Guinness World Records, was a 22-pound boy born in Seville, Ohio, in 1879. The boy, called "Babe," died 11 hours later.

“I dreamed of a little fat baby," Corrigan told Yahoo7 News. “I’ve always wanted a little fat baby and I’ve got a big one!”​

It was a 7-hour natural birth. Corrigan said she had baby Brian's father, Brian Liddle, and her sister by her side throughout the labor.

"Because he was so big it was a bit hard to get him out, and they had to get a few extra staff members to come in and help," she told Yahoo7. "This is the first pregnancy I've got to experience a natural labor, the longest I've ever been pregnant, and I've got the fat little man that I wanted."

Brian Jr. made headlines in Australia in January, but only recently he's become a worldwide star as photos of his chubby cheeks and arms spread across the Internet.

In a Facebook post, Corrigan said she was "overwhelmed" by the attention.

"It's hard to get our minds around such a whirlwind of a day," she said. "I never dreamed we'd get so much love for our BIG baby boy and family."

IF ONLY THIS BABY WAS BORN IN NIGERIA TO A CELEBRITY OR POPULAR PERSON, GUESS MADAM KEMI WOULD DEFINITELY REACT OR COMMENT ON THIS

Happy for this dude, remembered when Macaulay Chrisantus was told to be patient after a successful outing but dude was all about going to europe and ended at a lower club... dude don enter ghost mode now

NO BE SMALL GHOST MODE BRO

Chrisantus joined Hamburg in 2007 from Abuja F.C.,[1] after attracting offers from several major European clubs, probably due to his contribution to Nigeria's World Junior Cup win that year as the highest goal scorer and second best player of the tournament.[2] In summer 2009, he was loaned to Karlsruher SC for the 2009–10 season, but on 15 April 2010, KSC extended the loan deal for another year.[3]

On 21 July 2014, Chrisantus signed a three-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig side Sivasspor after his two successful year at Las Palmas in Spain.

In January 2015 Chrisantus signed with Greek Side AEK Athens FC on an 18 months deal with an option of a further two years based on performance. On 4 October 2015, in the 6th day of the Greek Super League with 8 minutes left he netted his first and winning goal against Atromitos F.C. after converting from close range.[4] After being linked to a possible release in January,[5] he only left the club at the end of the season, as his contract expired.

On 6 July 2016, Chrisantus signed a one-year deal with CF Reus Deportiu, returning to Spain two years after departing Las Palmas.[6]

Politics / Lagos Govt Removes 2 Roundabouts On Lekki-epe Expressway by WaZoBiaLander: 5:49pm On Dec 28, 2016
The Lagos State Government on Tuesday completed the removal of the Jakande and Chisco roundabouts in Ikate Elegushi axis of the state as part of efforts to reduce travel time on the Lekki–Epe expressway,

Anofi Elegushi, Acting Commissioner for Transportation, who briefed newsmen after the opening of the modified Jakande junction, said Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration was determined more than ever to make this Yuletide period stress free as far as traffic was concerned.

Elegushi said the third, fourth and eighth roundabouts would also be reconstructed to ease traffic congestion in the area and would be fully completed by January.

“This administration is determined to reduce the stress experienced by motorists and residents on this road. The roundabouts were replaced with traffic lights, expansion of the roads and provision of dedicated turning lanes as well as additional lay-bys. This will surely de-congest traffic in this area, even for commercial vehicles, the travel time will reduce and they will have enough turnaround by earning more,” he said.

Also speaking, the contractor for the project Biodun Otunola said apart from taking away the roundabouts to reduce travel time, pedestrians were also a major factor.

“Movement has been made easy for both motorists and the pedestrians,” he said.

The Lagos State Government on August 17 announced that three roundabouts along the Lekki-Epe Expressway would be removed.

The planned removal of the three roundabouts on the Lekki-Epe Expressway include the 4th Roundabout (Elegushi); 5th Roundabout (Jakande) and the 8th Roundabout (VGC).

Crime / Boko Haram Suspect Arrested In Abuja, Warns Of Impending Attacks by WaZoBiaLander: 5:28pm On Dec 28, 2016
Another fleeing Boko Haram suspect has been arrested in the Federal Capital Territory.

The middle-aged man was arrested by the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) Marshal.

According to a statement signed by the spokesman of the security agency, Kingsley Madaki, the suspect was arrested at Utako Market by 4.20PM.

He said that the suspect gave his name as Usman and was arrested “with a Qur’an and a chaplet on his neck while trying to lobby people in the market.”

“He confessed that there are so many of his colleagues out there in the city who are out to unleash mayhem on innocent residents,” Madaki said.

The suspect has been handed over to the Nigerian Army at the Mabila Barracks.

This is coming days after another fleeing suspect was arrested in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

The Army took over Camp Zero, Boko Haram’s last stronghold in Sambisa Forest last week, flushing out the insurgents.

Religion / “shun Idol Worshiping” – Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi Tells Monarchs by WaZoBiaLander: 4:45pm On Dec 28, 2016
The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has called on monarchs to shun idol worship and keep away idols from their palaces.

He made this known in a telephone interview with PUNCH in Osogbo.

“Our palaces must be clean and devoid of any idol. There is authority in the mouth of any monarch who is clean and who shuns idol worshiping. Our palaces must be devoid of idols.

I removed the ‘Ogun Odela’ in front of my palace and asked them to take it to Ogundigba (far from the palace) because of this. This happened about two weeks ago.

Oba must not kneel down before anybody to pray. This is a message or a warning to all the kings and let me tell them that their palaces are the habitation of God on earth. God was dwelling with us before churches and mosques were built,” he said.


Oba Akanbi added that God hates idolatry, and that God would not help any town whose king worshiped other gods.

He called on kings to serve their people and not wait for their people to bringtributes to them.

Citing Oduduwa as an example, the monarch called on kings to love and serve their people and not wait for them to bring tributes to the palace.

He said that Oduduwa became the greatest king in Yorubaland because od service and love for his people.

Politics / Moses Ochonu: El-rufai’s Blunders And The Christmas Killings In Southern Kaduna by WaZoBiaLander: 4:24pm On Dec 28, 2016
by Moses Ochonu


For the people of Kaninkon Kingdom in Southern Kaduna, this was a bleak Christmas. On Christmas Eve and on Christmas day armed Fulani herdsmen attacked and destroyed Goska village, killing, maiming, and burning. This attack occurred in spite of the area having been put under a 24-hour curfew by the state government, an indication of the brazenness and sense of impunity on the part of the well-armed attackers.

The attack is part of a broader genocidal war against the people of Southern Kaduna, a war that is in its fifth year and has killed thousands of people in their homes and farms and destroyed the livelihoods of tens of thousands more. As we speak an estimated 53 villages lay in ruins, some of them occupied by Fulani herdsmen and their cattle, a forceful annexation that recalls the similarly forceful displacement in Agatu.

Let’s be clear: the crisis predates the administration of Governor Nasir el-Rufai, so he cannot be accused of causing it or of being behind it as some people are insinuating. However, his utterances and actions in the past and the present have exacerbated the problem and emboldened the attackers. An ill-tempered man given to incendiary, inciting, and divisive outbursts, el-Rufai has made several egregious errors in dealing with the crisis. Some of these errors are errors of approach, thinking, and mentality. The errors have inspired actions that have wittingly or unwittingly transformed what was a low level series of massacres into a full-blown genocide.

To understand some of the governor’s current failures in dealing with the killings, you have to understand his past utterances, his incendiary character, his insensitivity, and his inability to moderate his thinking and resultant public expressions, all of which offer clues about why he has no credibility or political capital to solve the problem and why he is widely perceived as part of the problem, not its solution. Let’s consider the governor’s many problems in this regard.

El-Rufai is widely regarded as a Fulani supremacist, and with good reason. On July 12, 2012, he tweeted the following: “We will write this for all to read. Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter how long it takes.” The governor’s response to the killings in Southern Kaduna has been eerily consistent with this mindset. In a recent chat with newsmen in Kaduna, the governor made three statements that substantiate this Fulani supremacist statement from four years ago.

First, he said when he became governor, he traced the attackers to Cameroon, Chad, and Niger and sent a message to them that one of their own, a Fulani like them, was now governor. This statement displays a spectacularly parochial mentality. A governor of a Nigerian state was basically making appeals based on ethnic kinship and brotherhood to a group of foreign killers of people in his own Nigerian state! In other words, he was appeasing his murderous foreign kinsmen at the expense of indigenes of his state who are not his ethnic kinsmen but whose safety and interests he swore to defend. The governor’s shocking statement indicates that ethnic solidarity trumped his constitutional obligations to protect Southern Kaduna citizens from the external threats of foreign Fulani herdsmen.

Second, the governor told the journalists that the crisis began in the aftermath of the 2011 presidential elections when foreign Fulani herdsmen passing through Southern Kaduna were attacked, with some of them killed and their cattle stolen. The governor claimed that the ongoing genocidal killings are revenge for the 2011 attacks.

It was irresponsible for the governor to make this statement without providing a shred of evidence other than that this is what the foreign Fulani attackers told his emissaries who traced them to various neighbouring countries. What the governor was doing was legitimising the herdsmen’s genocidal campaign by giving it the cover of revenge. He was lending gubernatorial authority and credibility to the claims of foreign invaders that they are revenging the killing of their kinsmen on Nigerian soil! Shocking as it is, however, the governor’s current explanation is consistent with the tweet I quoted because he is still espousing and promoting what he, as a Fulani man, believes to be the Fulani ethos of revenge. El-Rufai was also doing classic victim blaming, blaming the victims for provoking the killers and bringing calamity upon themselves.

Then, of course, there is the fact that even if the claim of revenge were legitimate, one would be compelled to ask, how much Southern Kaduna blood would need to be spilled to pay for the herdsmen and cattle allegedly killed in 2011? How long is this Fulani revenge spree supposed to last? Ten years? Twenty? Is this Fulani blood debt that El-Rufai speaks of eternal? This genocide has been going on for five years already. By the way, who or what gave foreigners the permission to freely violate Nigeria’s borders and penetrate deep into the Nigerian hinterland with their cattle and destroy farmlands in the process? Should any claim by people who have illegally breached our borders and destroyed the farmlands of Nigerian citizens be taken seriously, let alone privileged above the suffering of citizens?

Third, El-Rufai stated that he had paid off the attackers as a way to stop them from continuing the killings. This is, of course, an explosive confession. He admitted to paying foreigners who illegally breached Nigeria’s borders to attack citizens of his state. This begs the question of why, in spite of the payments, the attacks have continued and have become more intense. It also advertises the governor’s poor judgment. He rewarded those who confessed to killing citizens of his state, instead of working with the federal government to hold them accountable or to stop them from further breaching our borders to kill citizens.

It is safe to say the governor’s poor judgment is anchored on ethnic solidarity with the foreign killers. Furthermore, to the extent that El-Rufai used state funds to pay the so-called compensation to the foreign killer herdsmen, the beleaguered people of Southern Kaduna, partakers in the state’s patrimony, were in fact being forced to pay their killers to stop killing them! It is not out of place to speculate that the killers may have used the governor’s payments to acquire more sophisticated weapons, which may explain why the scope, intensity, and sophistication of the killings have increased in recent months.

These confessed blunders are consistent with the governor’s character and past utterances. In an interview before he became governor, el-Rufai was asked about the killing of some Southern Nigerian youth corpers in the 2011 post-election violence in Kaduna. He objected vehemently to the premise of the question. He wondered why the press was obsessed with a few youth corp members who were killed by hoodlums and asked why there was no concern for “our people” who were killed in Southern Kaduna. By “our people” he meant Hausa-Fulani people. This interview was quite revealing, for it showed that he thinks of victimhood in strictly ethno-religious terms.

Today, as he gropes confusingly to get a handle on the killings, the governor is blaming nameless people he accuses of trying to “divide the people” along religious and ethnic lines. Such rhetoric from him is laughably hypocritical, for no one has contributed to the atmosphere of ethno-religious division in Kaduna State than El-Rufai. In his quest for power, he pandered shamelessly to ethno-religious loyalties, much to the consternation of those who regarded him as being above such sentiments. Having seemingly written off Southern Kaduna, a PDP stronghold, el-Rufai engaged in the most blatantly ethno-religiously divisive campaign in the state’s history, projecting himself as a champion of Fulani and Hausa-Fulani interests. He became a proud provincial man, as his controversial tweets indicate, even though those who know him personally say the man is urbane and cosmopolitan.

El-Rufai is now captive to his own political posturing and long-held supremacist tendencies. His approach to the killings has continued to bear out his tendency for stoking unnecessary drama, for ethno-religious insensitivity, and for personalising public issues. He sees the Southern Kaduna people as blame-worthy and the Fulani herdsmen killers as deserving of appeasement. A few weeks ago, as though to further humiliate the people of Southern Kaduna in their distress, the governor fancifully launched what he called “apology billboards.” The billboards were erected across the local governments of Southern Kaduna. In other words, El-Rufai’s solution to the killings is to force the people of Southern Kaduna, the victims, to apologise to their killers. It was a humiliating political subjugation of a people already under genocidal siege. The Southern Kaduna people were paying for billboards that apologised to their killers, instead of the other way round. And this was haughtily done without consulting with the Southern Kaduna people.

As the governor blames others, he has not stopped to acknowledge that his past and present utterances and gestures have created an atmosphere of distrust between him and the people of Southern Kaduna, and between the ethnic and religious groups of the state. He needs to look inward and take responsibility for stoking ethno-religious distrust and for emboldening the killers or at least giving them the impression that a sympathetic member of their ethno-religious group is in power, and that this kinsman is willing to legitimise their murderous cause and even pay them appeasement money. No wonder the people of Southern Kaduna attacked him on his visit there last week. They were tired of the governor’s condescending attitude, his empty preachments, and his efforts to humiliate them, while rewarding their tormentors.

Helpless in the face of his inability to contain the rising current of ethno-religious division in the state, the governor has belatedly run to President Buhari to deploy more troops to Southern Kaduna communities. This is the same army, by the way, that on July 20, 2014, El-Rufai tweeted the following about: “Genocidal Jonathanian army kills once again.” On that occasion, El-Rufai was condemning the killing of some Shiite members by soldiers. He was obviously pandering and opportunistically exploiting the Shiite’s sectarian angst because today he is the biggest persecutor of the Shiite in Nigeria. Moreover, he has partnered with the same army he described as genocidal to wage his war against the Shiite minority.

The proverbial chickens are coming home to roost for El-Rufai. His past utterances, his prior political posturing, his divisive, incendiary, and insensitive ethno-religious pandering and comments are coming back to haunt him. He has no one but himself to blame. He has little sympathy, having arrogantly and selfishly alienated foes and friends alike.

El-Rufai’s current travail offers a poignant lesson, which is that those seeking political positions should moderate their supremacist ideologies, temper their arrogance, and stop pandering to or riding the wave of popular but fleeting primordial anger.

True story. Very mumu people.. They give pastor their money then say that it is God that is blessing Him. grin

What kind of shame please

ABEG HELP ME ASK AM. SHAME IN CRITICIZING PMB AND HIS GOVT OR SHAME IN SEEING AND COMMENTING ON SUCH SENSELESS POST BY A "NAIRALANDER" WHICH WE ALL ARE?
I STILL WONDER HOW SOME PEOPLE REASON, CALLING HIM A COWARD FOR HIDING UNDER A MONIKER. MUST HE BE ON NAIRALAND BEFORE HE COULD SEE SUCH? CAN'T HE COME AS A GUEST TO READ/VIEW POSTS AND COMMENTS ON NAIRALAND WITHOUT COMMENTING? AS A ONE-TIME SA ON NEW MEDIA, WHAT IF HE HAS OR KNOWS PEOPLE ON NAIRALAND THAT RELATE OR COMMUNICATE WITH HIM, INFORM AND/OR UPDATE HIM FROM TIME TO TIME ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
WHATEVER BE THE CASE, IT'S JUST SO DISAPPOINTING THAT A PERSON COULD (OUT OF HATE OR SENTIMENTS), BE ASKING IF OR WISHING EFCC COULD FIND, BRING OR COOK UP A CRIME AGAINST AN INNOCENT PERSON JUST BECAUSE HE'S CRITICIZING (AND NOT ABUSING) BUHARI AND HIS GOVERNMENT. I JUST WONDER WHEN CONSTRUCTIVE OR HEALTHY CRITICISMS BECAME A CRIME FOR EFCC TO LOOK INTO. WE ALL KNEW THE KIND OF CRITICISMS, ABUSES AND CONDEMNATIONS GEJ HAD AND ENDURED, YET WETIN HAPPEN?

SOME PEOPLE (WHETHER PRO OR ANTI) SHOULD JUST LEARN HOW TO SET THEIR HEARTS FREE AND NOT LET HATE, SENTIMENTS OR PARTISANSHIP BECLOUD THEIR COMMON SENSE OF REASONING AND COMMENTING.

Some politicians have access to forex from their sitting room at the official rate meanwhile manufacturers are crawling for forex just to import machineries and co.. PMB and his economic team needs to hide their heads in shame.. Just in a year and some months PMB took over power, almost a million Nigerians have lost their jobs due to their archaic policies..
#IncompetentGovt!

ALMOST A MILLION?
BRO, ACCORDING TO NATIONAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS (NBS), ABOUT 4.58 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS UNDER THIS GOVT IN JUST A YEAR AND FEW MONTHS...VERY PATHETIC.

Rihanna released a song on same day P-square released Bank Alert, as at the time they hit 1million she was still on 700k, does your logic make sense to you?

P-Square and Diamond are not mates. Compare the wide-faced nigga with his mates

Only one P-square song has more views than all of Diamond's songs combined

GOD BLESS U.
I JUST TIRE FOR THIS KIND BADBELLE OO.

WHETHER THE SONG IS WACK OR NOT,MAKE SENSE OR NO MAKE SENSE, DOES IT MATTER? THE GUYS ARE STILL MAKING THEIR MONEY, HAVING INCREASING VIEWS ON YOUTUBE, PEOPLE ARE HERE CONDEMNING THE SONG.

I'm not looking for a perfect man,but one DAT will respect and love me .





Cos I know no one is 100% perfect

VERY PLEASED AND IMPRESSED WITH UR COMMENT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FACT THAT YOU PUT RESPECT FIRST EVEN B4 LOVE. FUNNY ENOUGH SOME GIRLS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT RESPECT IS, HOW TO DEMAND FOR IT OR EARN IT FROM A GUY. CLAIMED LOVE, MONEY AND/OR GIFTS ARE ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.
