Awoleesu:
Your argument is a +/- for me...

The last paragraph makes a moral sense that I can agree with. But your rationale for abandoning faith for faithlessness is what I cannot wrap around my head! Are you saying atheists don't steal or deceive? - they don't believe in Heaven anyway! So, what difference does it make?

Atheist have reasons to steal, but atheists don't have reasons to rationalize or justify their stealing. Atheists are aware they will face the consequences of their stealing especially if caught.

Dapinski:
That's the spirit. Either will take Nigeris to greater heights. If I had to choose then my preference is BAT.

He has been around benevolently, as a force for good, long enough to hit the ground running.

BAT, from the day he is sworn in, will gain the instant cooperation of the most influential leaders in Nigeria, Africa and the world immediately.

Tinubu's Presidency will be a project of benevolence very few, anywhere in the world, would be enemies of except of course IPOBians . If his health is sound then I am 100% behind BAT but will swing behind Osinbajo with equal passion if he is the APC candidate.

Tinubu is a criminal and should never go near the sit of power. How did someone that was living in a rented house before he became governor become one of the richest man in Nigeria? He was not the only former governor of Lagos state, but he is by far the richest. How?
By rigging the system to favour him. He was collecting 10% of all taxes generated in Lagos until fashola reduced it to 4 or 5%. Even 4% of Lagos revenue every month is humongous. He put all his family and aides in positions of power to obtain absolute power over Lagos State. Imagine what he will do if given federal power.

I prefer Osibanjo by far. He seem to perform well when Buhari hands over to him while on medical break.

MaxInDHouse:
You just need to do so with action not words!

If you've stolen something from someone in the past (before you become a Christian) and you're feeling it may hinder you from entering God's Kingdom. All you need to do is go back to that person and pay back as a gift without making it public, you don't have to say a word about what happened in the past, you are paying what you stole secretly back in secret.

In the case where the person is dead then go on your knees and tell God what you intend to do but death has caused a breakup between you and the person. This is necessary because the person is dead and no more in need of worldly possessions. Then you can take what you supposed to give him/her to help paupers around you (without announcing it) because if it's announced then it can't pay off what you stole anymore, you've received the glory by making it public, remember you want to pay back what you stole in secret so you must pay back in secret! Matthew 6:2

This is the exact reason I left christianity (modern day Christianity that is) and embraced atheism. It promotes deceit, selfishness and crass materialism. It all about "what is in it for me", stick and carrot.

You steal something from someone, you are more worried about going to enjoy in heaven than the pains you caused the person you stole from. That mean if there is no heaven, you will never regret stealing.

Going back to pretend you are giving an item as gift to someone you stole from is deceitful. The person would be grateful to you and even feels he owes you, not knowing you stole from him. True repentance involve confessing your sins and begging for forgiveness from those you sinned.

Modern day Christianity encourage you to sin, and then the only consequences is asking secretly for forgiveness and accepting Christ and your conscience is cleared once again to commit sin. That's against the universal spiritual law of Karma, that prescribes actual consequences for our actions.

Tenses:
His greatest legacy was, " My ambition is not worth any Nigerian life"

That to me is also his greatest legacy. The fact that he handed over peacefully without attempting to bring down the whole country says a lot about the character of the man. The same could not be said for many other Presidents including the last US President.

After saying that, Jonathan was a failure in other indices. He tolerated and even supported corruption - ie Abah Moro, Dieziani Allison, Stella Oduah, Dasuki, subsidy scam, etc. He was incompetent in security - Chibok girls, UN building Bombed, Sambisa Forest was no go area, Boko Haram controlled 14 local govt areas, etc. In terms of economic policies he did not fare better - he was using excess petrodollars to support the naira, no actual infrastructural development, (as done by all previous governments), no economic plan or agenda. His only obsession was re-election.

Now, some distractionists or diversionists would ask "what about Buhari"? Well even though I think Buhari is failing on many fronts Jonathan failed, we can't start comparing until a few years after Buhari's term ends.

When we talk of legacy, we must wait until the term ends.

DeepSight:
Possibly got caught in heartstrings there, maybe not just the strings down low.
Happens to the best of them.

I don't know about heartstrings but the fuckstrings was out of this world. She is the classic example of nymphomaniac. When she was around my friend does not come out of his room. They will lock the door from 10am till 6pm in the evening before my friend show face, to look for something to eat. He told us he would come so many times that nothing would come out again. Once he said it was blood coming out.

She controlled him so much that he ignored us his homeboys whenever she came around. The annoying thing is that the babe no even fine. His previous girlfriends were way finer.

light099:
All these NL amateurs and learners sef, you sabi fall hand big time. Seems the guy is also a learner like y'all.

Every smart nigga wishes for hit and run. While most ladies try to hold a nigga down from running, yet you lucky to see one who allows you to hit her and run, you're still forming Oliver Twist.
If all Nigerian girls behave like this, what else would be better? No more waste of time wooing her, no more wasting money, no more tying you down, no more urgent 2k, no more no more. Just straight to the point - she feeds you, you hit her fast and off you're gone for good.
So why you complain again?
Moreover, Okafor's law remains constant.

Na the gal lose, not the guy but sometimes, winning is a state of mind. A person might win and still feel like a complete loser.

Sorry to say, but you never experience life. I have seen and experience a lot. Some babes are nymphomaniac, they just want your D and nothing else. Some are even ready to pay for a good D.

Some pussy be like magnet. Once to enter am once, e go just dey attract you. Na only deliverance go save you. If you like enter 100 other pussies, that particular one na im go dey hungry you. You think say men wey de dash babes cars or house dey craze? Or N50,000 pussies no yapa for universities or streets?

I had a friend who boasted he was a player until he enter the toto of one small 17 year old girl. You go think say the girl dey use jazz on the guy. He abandoned all other girlfriends and even we guys. Him rent house for the babe and furnish it. Las Las the babe dey bring other guys come the house to knack. When my friend catch the babe, the babe pursue my friend comot for the house him dey pay house rent. My friend cry from Lagos until him reach Ife. We were student of OAU then.

Even though my guy is a big boy in America now, him still neva forget the babe.

Toks2008:
You don't ask a lady for sex, you put her in the mood.

If de mood no come dey their nko?

Favourdesent:
make i chill for here

When I advice against buying non tested, holy Marys and Josephs go dey criticize me. Una dey see the results now after you carry am reash house.

Oya manage am like dat, shebi you sign "till death do you part"? Go buy intimacy gadget, or in the extreme find a regular olosho who will be available on demand.

light099:
You're the clueless one here.
A lady who feeds you to stupor, fcks you to stupor and then blocks you, leaving you free as a bird to the next maga.
What else blessing can a random fckboy wish for more than this?

But fuckboy can't get a repeat again. He can never get get the feeling of that particular kitten again. Meanwhile he is craving for more.

chymeze:
The aim of the guy wasn't to have a serious relationship or something like that with her but to have a taste of her and run off, and the lady helped him to achieve just that without him having to putt in much effort. So the guy was obviously the winner here. She made the mistake by bleeping him

And you think the babe wants a serious relationship? The lady just wanted to taste the guy with no strings attached. Reminds me of angel of BBNaija 2021. She fùcked most guys including Boma with no strings attached. When Yousef wanted to start catching feelings for her, she just made jest of him.

Sonnobax15:

They both enjoyed themselves, PERIOD!!!

But na the Guyman get upper hand pass via say he chew her food plus say he cor later chew her bedmatically join......Na she lose abeg

I disagree. It depends on who want it and enjoyed it more.
The babe too licked and sucked the lolly pop and rode the thing like a rodeo bull.

You think a good Love Machine comes cheap?

CocaineLord:
The truth is 70% of nigerian women have nothing to offer than their body.

Most of them got nothing upstairs,very dumb asses.

I'll never forget the day I initiated a conversation on Astronomy & Celestial bodies with a certain nigerian girl...She was so lost and uninterested

All they know and are concerned about are Social media,Fast food, Relationship & Money

My guy forget that tin. Watin guyman wan take upstairs do? Na downstairs be koko. Astronomy & Celestial bodies ko, paleontology and astrophysics ni.

If I want discuss astronomy, I go join astronomy group for Facebook or WhatsApp, but if I wan knack aproko, na bakassi and pillow I dey find.

ashewoboy:
can a woman phvck man? who exerts energy during copulation? you have your answer.

You neva jam. Pray say you no jam woman wey go nack you until you faint or even kpeme. When I dey uni e get one babe wey knack my neighbour until him faint. Na only helep my neighbour helep de babe for exam o. Na him de babe tell am say him go follow am go house to pay him back. Meeen, dey lock door for 3 pm. Na for 10 for night de babe dey scream help. Our friend faint for ground. After poor water for him head, na milk and malt we give am and later garri before our guy gather himself.

We come ask am say if him tire, why he no stop and why him dick still dey stand. My guy say if the dick fall, de way the babe go roll de thing for her mouth and tongue, the thing go stand sharp sharp, say him no come understand again.

I still say you never jam.

sotall:
south south is IPOB abi?


How will Tinubu or Osunbade win any state in the south south ?

It depends on what they are offering. It's only you people that give politicians votes without any negotiations or based on stupid primordial reasons.

In politics you can never say never.

DitariDisciple2:
You are mad.
You alone have Igbo blood in you.

Don't mind him. Instead of him to say he has igbo blood, he went on to assign igbo blood to all Ijaws. My local governmen, Warri North has 4 Ijaw local governments. No Ijaw in any of those local government claim to have Igbo blood. Or is it Ijaws in Edo or Ondo that has Igbo blood?
I am sure his father is igbo but claims Ijaw.

kapelvej:
for your mind, I am not IPOB, IPOB are not terrorist

Tell that to their militant wing - ESN and UGM.

Bastardlyrich:
I'm from ss and ijaw.
So we are fools abi.
After the betraying.
What a nerve and effontry.
You are clearly insulting ijaw in particular and ss in general.
Just wait 2023 no far again.

The Ijaws have moved on from Jonathan's loss. Most of Jonathan's people have made up with Buhari and joined APC. Lots of Ijaw leaders don't see eye to eye with IPOB ie Asari Dokubo, Tompolo.

PARADIZEPRIEST:
IF NO S.E PRESIDENT=INTERIM GOVT=ARMY ARRANGEMENTS

And you expect the rest of Nigeria to go to the S.E. and dash you the president on a platter of gold?

Power is never given or gifted, it has to be fought for, sometimes at great risks. How many igbo politicians have been reaching out to other regions of Nigeria to ask for support. How many igbos are reaching out to their friends and colleagues in the South West, North and middle belt negotiating to clinch the presidency. Tinubu and Osibanjo has been criss crossing Nigeria begging for support.

You guys are yet to learn that threats don't work in politics. You guys and Jonathan's kinsman made many threats that if Jonathan was not given a second term heaven will fall. Did heaven fall when he was defeated?

Bastardlyrich:
How can either of them be president
Ss and se are not voting for a Yorobad Christian or Muslim
North will not leave their own and vote for a Dan bayerebe.
It's obvious that you are dreaming.
But Continue

But the north voted Abiola, OBJ and Jonathan.

Talk for your south east and not South South.

South South will vote for the person who brings the best offer.

South East are practically irrelevant nowadays as they present the least votes (courtesy of IPOB sit at home and no elections). You guys just don't have the numbers.

I think Osibanjo has the best chance of clinching the presidency ( depending on who PDP presents). Tinubu will asked to be settled (as usual).

Stargurl20:
They're not married, and even married ones respect each other's privacies.

Which privacy are married couples respecting again? Ok, you hide your private parts abi? What can be more private than your private parts. Maybe you cover your bodies from your partner and only allow him/her glimpses during sex.

If you don't want to share your privacy with anyone,don't get married. Just be contented with baby mama and baby dada.

Stargurl20:
But wait o, can't partners have their own privacy? See the way someone is been tracked like she's has done some forbidden.

Married partners can't have their own privacy, their privacy then becomes joint privacy.

I hope when you decide to marry, you and your husband don't operate different privacy policies. That's a recipe for disaster.

Stargurl20:
What will u gain from this comment, uncle?
Oh.... Ruining their beautiful relationship?

Which beautiful relationship? Can you call a relationship a fiancee is maintaining an emotional relationship (and most certainly a physical one too) for over 3 years a beautiful relationship?

Beautiful relationships should have boundaries, and the lady has crossed all boundaries.

Oyiboman69:
the white men came and conquer them and introduced their own system of government and even as low as a ward councillor is more powerful than any king in this present system of government...the time they command much respect is over....

Believe me some kings like the Oba of Benin and Olu of Warri who are not involved with politics still command a lot of respect both locally and internationally.

Even the Ghanaian president respects the olu of warri. He was received by Nana Akufo-Addo when he went holiday in ghana.

Lboy30:
How could a whole Olu of whatever live his Pallas and travel all the way to Abuja all in the name of seeing a President? What is wrong with our traditional rulers.? Tueeeeh!!!

The Queen of England has left Buckingham Palace and visited numerous countries in her younger days includung Nigeria, Ghana and Zimbabwe, does that make her any less respected?

DeepSight:
I think what that poster is referring to is what has emerged as the "footloose-and-fancy-free attitude" of some of our monarch's these days, which is quite at variance with what ought to be their stately dignity.

It's no use monarchs gluing their ass to the throne expecting the world to come to them. Monarchs should be the chief diplomat for his people, building relations and alliances with other leaders and people. In The past kings lead in front on the battlefield.

Urbanchampion:
Things have really changed, in the past, Monarchs like the Aláàfin of Ọ̀yọ́ and Olu of Warri seldomly leave their Palaces. The is why there's an adage in Yoruba that: "on re Ọ̀yọ́, o n kánjú, ṣé Aláàfin n re bikan ni"? meaning "you're rushing to Ọ̀yọ́, does the the Aláàfin ever leaves his Palace?"

Is the Alaafin of Oyo a prisoner or is his Palace a prison. Even the Queen of England visits other countries.

DeepSight:
. . . "than other developed countries" has an embedded suggestion that Nigeria is one of the said "developed countries."
It is not.

Ok. Noted.

HellVictorinho3:
Stupid comparisons....... useless debates..

.....must we beat China?



Can't Nigeria develop further without these baseless mentions of foreign madness??

We can't. Because we live in a globalised economy where goods and services is extremely mobile. The law of demand, supply and market equilibrium operates on a global scale. For you to succeed you have to compete with China.

DeepSight:
This is a misnomer.

Please elaborate.

obailala:
What is wrong with that Nigerian bridge?... I'm totally lost here... In terms or quality, there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with that Nigerian bridge. Even in terms of aesthetics, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the bridge itself; maybe you might make a case for the dilapidated dwellings surrounding the flyover but what exactly is wrong with the bridge?

How exactly is it rational to compare apples and bananas?... The 2 bridges are very different, and meant to serve different purposes.

And lastly, was that Nigerian bridge actually even built by the Chinese? What bridge is that?

We are not talking of aesthetics, we are talking about standards and quality. Nigerian bridges and roads are of a lower standard than other developed countries.
I had a relation who worked for a UN agency that carried out a survey of Nigerian roads. He told me that all Nigerian fell short of international standards, including the ones build by Julius Berger. He said the concrete strength and thickness of the roads always comes short of the actual design and traffic specifications.

moshino:
Its not the budget that is the problem, its the Nigerian CORRUPTION factor. Both bridges/highways probably cost the same amount of money.

They don't. The contract sum might be the same, but the actually money going to the Chinese contractor is much less, and they would give you the quality you pay for.
