Coldie:
Employ a young boy or girl. U mean child abuse abi?

Make she go carry person pikin way supposed dae school to come dae sell food for am in the name of wetin?

Which kind local wicked mentality be that?

I have seen a situation where an engineer lost his job and his wife has a shop, the shop is all they use to survive the man that's an engineer way don touch better money out of the fact that he knows what the shop brings to the tale he let his pride down sometimes, goes to open the shop for the wife when she goes to the market. Replaces her when she goes home to cook.

The fact that the man is there helping her doesn't take anything from him, cause he is smart enuf to know the situation on ground

To go open shop and sell for wife different from telling your husband to wash plates in public.
I have opened a small snack bar for my wife. She dare not tell me to wash plates in public. She sometimes ask me to watch the donuts when frying, if she goes out to supply customers. But asking me to wash plates? - never.

BonPatrick:
A mother of two who pleaded anonymity has taken to social media to ask members of the public whether it was wrong to ask her husband to do the dishes.
According to her, her husband lost his business to scam and she has been the one catering for the family with the little she earns from her restaurant business.
She said: “Truly, My husband was the one who opened the restaurant for me, I cook very well and I still do my cooking by myself as I only direct my staffs on what to do.My husband lost his business to scam and since then it’s been me carrying the responsibilities, most of my staffs left because I could not pay them and at some point, all of them left and I had to do everything by myself.

“My husband is doing nothing yet, he just sits at home and maybe go pick the kids from school and all, so yesterday I had lots of customers in the shop, I was doing everything by myself, so as soon as my husband walked in, I asked him to help me rush to wash a few plates while I serve, and he looked at me in some strange way, I repeated myself and he slapped me in public , and walked out.

“I ignored the embarrassment and even most of my customers left, when I got home I noticed that he moved his things, I called his phone and he said he is in his friends place till he gets a job he will come home, that I should take care of the kids.

“He cut the call I tried to call and the next he blocked me.

“What did I do wrong, who is supposed to be upset? I just need to clear my conscience.”

You mean you shouted at your husband to wash plates - IN PUBLIC? You for bring your pants and bra also in public for him to wash.

Girl you no try at all. No man, and I mean no man, not even SIMPs would take that. If He was working in an office, would you go to his office and drag him to come and wash plates for you? You have damage the core of his manhood in public for that matter.

You better go with elders to seriously beg and apologise for your mistake.

[quote author= post=101874309]About the comparison between open grazing and spare parts sellers,

All of us @[/b] say selling of Spare parts does not lead to insecurity… but some open grazing clearly do lead to insecurity.
So that comparison doesn't make any sense to us, (our opinion).

That being said,
Seun is one Political Analyst that we have been watching on Channels TV for many years now, and overall, he is doing a yeoman's job.
He's well above his peers.
Cut him some slack please

Seun, if you are reading this, keep up the good job you are doing.
Remain as non-partisan as you are so that your viewers can continue to hold you in high esteem.
[b] No matter what you do in this world, you can never ever please everybody.
Do your best and have rest of mind.

We Rise!


You are so in our mind with this post.
You've said it all.
Nice day![/quote]Very stupid analogy. It's unbelievable that a whole chief law officer of a country is making such stupid analogy. How can you compare cows roaming illegally on other people's properties and destroying their crops with spare parts sellers who rent shops to ply their trade. It's like comparing street traders with provision shops. If the north should ban street trading in their states, who will complain? The same minister of information is yet to comment on the ban on the sale of alcohol in the northern states.

fourboys:
I told dat story to discourage our girls from such jobs,, I don't understand u oooo

Why blame girls instead of the dirty men requesting dip their dicks into any hole that moves? Why not try and discourage men from requesting for sex before doing business with ladies?

fourboys:
she was Neva forced or blackmailed... The guy was even sincere enof to tell her. Pls I was only trying to discourage our girls to desist from such immorality not supporting it. Pls

Liar. You are encouraging men in authority to use their power and position to blackmail girls for sex. You are no different from the Unilag lecturers BBC exposed.

If your job seeking sister tells you that a director in a ministry is blackmailing her for sex before she can get her appointment letter after passing all qualification procedures, what will be your advice? Will you advice her to give in and get the job or refuse and continue remain jobless and depend on your parents?

Euouae:
She is even luck!

If I was the Boss, I will not only sack her, I will also xxxx her

Cos she might want to get back at me through my wife.

Better to just keep her silent forever.

I repeat again, she is lucky for getting only a sack letter. She should go for thanksgiving

You are lucky you are in a lawless and moraless country like Nigeria. In more sane countries, if you as a company owner sack a lady unjustly, you will pay damages through your nose. If you blackmail a worker with sex or make inappropriate sexual advances, you will rot in jail.

seunmsg:
I’m glad she learnt her lesson the hard way. People must learn to mind their business when it comes to relationship issues. Fvcking keep your opinion to yourself.

A female colleague fúcking your boss is your business. How do you relate with them both in the office? What will determine responsibilities, assignments and promotion in the office? How will she navigate the delicate relationship between the boss's wife and friend in the office. If gbege happens between wife and friend, will she not be affected by the fireworks?

fourboys:
I was at my friend's shop last month and a girl walked in and told my friend dat she needs a job, dat my friend told her at my present that he had one, only that the boss will be Fuc'king her, the girl shouted "God for bid,,, 5mins later she came back and asked my frnd.. Oga the job still dey

Our ladies of nowadays can f*ck anytin and onse u try to advice dem, u are an enemy of progress



B's. All these girls asking op to mind her business are shameless

You and your likes must really hate women. A young girl is being blackmailed with sex for job and you and 140 fellow men are blaming the girl instead of the man. Harvey Weinstein is still serving jail time in the US for blackmailing and sexually harassing young actresses before giving them acting roles.

I doubt you guys had mothers or sisters or had very uncaring wicked ones and hence your rabid hatred of women.

gforce5:
I am not surprised at the opinion of the above commentators. Nigerians are hypocrites. They act all "holy" and judgmental but do the opposite at home. They endorse corrupt practices but have the cheek to complain about corruption. What do you mean that it "nobody's business"? Those two are in breach of corporate ethics. Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, had to step down from his company because of something like this. A Director of the CIA had to resign because of scenarios like this. Do you know how powerful the director of the CIA is He can order the assassination of your President and there's nothing you can do about it!

The West, with all their immoralities, have strict ethics when it comes to the workplace/political positions. Here, we don't care yet we would be preaching morality all over the place.

The masses aren't any different from their leaders. They are only pained that they are not in the position of authority to oppress their fellow citizens. Shame on you for castigating a woman who was betrayed by someone she trusted. If she wanted to sleep with her boss, don't you think that she acted on it a long time ago? Disgusted.

You are preaching in vain. They can never see the link between Our falling moral and ethical standard with our failing country. How do you expect progress and development when the citizens themselves are so corrupt. And these same people will later go on to criticize Buhari and government officials of nepotism and corruption.
I now wonder if they also support a lecturer sleeping with his students because they are legal adults.

Offpoint1:
If she "CARES" about her friend or if she wanna proved she had "MORAL" she shoulda gone to the boss wife and informed her of her husband affair either in person or synonymously.

I can't see beyond what I am seeing.

Why will she do that? It's not in her place to tell the bosses wife that her husband is having an affair.
It's in her place to advice her friend or sister the improprietiness and immorality of sleeping with her married boss.

Gerrard59:
Fair analysis but if he's the founder and chairman of the board, it's hard to penalise him.

Yes I Nigeria, it's impossible to penalize him because we condone or rather celebrate adulterous men. If abroad, he would be forced to resign as chairman and CEO of the company by the board and supervising government body. He would only become the majority shareholder.

No one knows the company in question but majority of Nlders are making it seem it's illegal.

The bold isn't cast in stone.

No one is talking about legality here, rather we are talking ethics and morality.

In the US, UK or even Japan. No one will do business with a scandalous company where the CEO is sleeping with its employees.

Gerrard59:
This is likely not a corporate environment like Microsoft where there are checks and balances. Probably a one-man business where the boss is the Head in all ramifications. So, how is that an offence? Who will penalise the erring parties? Have you seen why she should have minded her business?

It's a ethical offense even if it's a one man business. In sane societies the society or general public would penalise the company if the news gets out, and they will lose patronage. People would not do business with a company where the owner sleeps with its employees.

Offpoint1:
Your official duty and reasons for employment was to contribute to the growth of the company and not to become a moral teacher/adviser.

I don't care if my boss is banging the entire female staff, as long as I'm getting my salary... It's non of my business.

Fact might be you don't really care about your friend, you just jealous your boss didn't found you attractive for all the while you've been working, but you chooses your friend over you.

I believe the main problem of Nigeria is moral and ethical restructuring rather than geographical, political or resource restructuring. What we promote and condone here can never be accepted in other sane climes. We condone and encourage corruption in all its ramifications and then wonder why we are not making progress as a people. We only claim to be religious just because of fake promises of prosperity and problems and not to elevate the mind and spirit.

OP, you made the right call. Even though I do not consider myself a Christian, you did a very Christian thing. You warned your friend at the improprieties of dating her boss. The lady was not really a friend but a Judas. Karma will catch up to her very soon. See the sack as a blessing. I am sure you will get a better job. Or in the meantime improve and update your skills to get a better job.

Bill Gates was forced to resign from his own company because he was accused of having an affair with an employee. Bill Clinton was impeached because he had a sexual relation with an intern working for him.
Nigeria is fast becoming one of the most immoral countries in the world despite our claimed religiosity.

Deemystic:
Research esoteric Christianity, the gospel of Thomas and you will see he isn't. The true teachings of Jesus were intended to help us realize that we are Gods in human body and that the kingdom of God is within us opposed elsewhere. These teachings didn't resonate well with the Romans who sort to control and subjugate the population.

The true teaching of Christ was that you don't need any intermediary to reach God and that you can reach God by yourself. He opposed the Pharisee's teaching of the day that created a hierarchy to reaching God. Paul opposed Jesus teachings and created the same hierarchy that Christ (and his true disciples) preached agsinst. He created church leaders Bishops and Pope as the line of reaching God. Today, people believe that only their Pastor, Bishop or pope is the only one that can carry their prayers to God, making these people very powerful.

This lion is a disgrace to hood. How he allowed to be carried like a Teddy

That's a baby lion. That lion is probably less than 5 months old.

[quote author= post=101751677]When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Let us break this down to the lay man on the street for better understanding....

The phrase refers to the importance of adapting yourself to the customs of the people who are in a certain place or situation and behave like they do.

Example of Use: If you happen to visit a Buka (Restaurant) in Ibadan and you were served Abula (Amala, gbegiri and ewedu), then you asked “Are you sure we should eat this with our hands?”
Your Answer will be : “Why not? ... When in Ibadan, do as the Ibadanians do.

We Rise![/quote]Very disappointed at this post, I thought you are more enlightened than this. You analogy is way of point. Whether I eat amala with my hands, with fork or with chop sticks is entirely up to me. Someone else cannot ban me from eating my amala with chop sticks just because he finds it offensive.

Now are you aware that traditional religionists use gin in their mode of worship. Are you now telling me that African Traditional Religionists cannot freely worship in the north? Is there no more freedom of worship in Nigeria.

Do you suggest we split the country along religious lines like it was done in india, so Muslims can have their own Islamic country, Christians can have a Christian or liberal country?

cejaypriesty:
Jesus never lived as a poor person ,he had stewards who attended to him ,the disciples who were John's disciples came and saw where he lived and never returned back to there former master. Despite all he had the bible still called him poor because what he had in his earthly ministry can't be compared to his glory in heavens.The pastors are only enjoying the benefits of redemption. Dont let envy and ignorance destroy you.

Another tithe stealer. It's your type that the bible referred to in Malachi 3. You steal from the Lord in tithes and offerings.

Jesus was rich but he was born in a manger fit for horses. He was rich yet his step father was a carpenter.
So what work did Jesus do to make him wealthy? Did he collect tithes and offerings from his disciples or from the general public? Did he build mega churches, wear designer clothes and ride expensive cars ( chariots)?

All you fleecing the poor of their hard earned money, continue. There is Godu o.

Oloriode:
Why will the Northerners destroy the bottle of drinks without consulting the Southerners. Hence, we will not take it.

Exactly what I was about to say. How come northern governors decided to start destroying bottles of alcohol of southerners without consulting with their southern counterparts. They did not even consult with the president. The northern governors are anti people as they did not have the interest of Nigerians at heart.

Flows001:
Believe what you believe, I believe what I believe. JESUS TRULY LOVES YOU..

You can believe whatever you choose to believe, but your beliefs cannot change history. Christianity also was spread with violence from the begining to about 200 year ago.

Islam is behind Christianity in terms of violence by about 400 years.

Oyiboman69:
Israel were there before they were conquered... you can check the history

False. Israel as an independent state or kingdom only existed for about 100 years during the reign of Saul, David and Solomon. After that brief 100 years, Israel was not an independent state until 1947 when it was created by the UN. For most of the history of the Jews, they were under another political power or on exile.

Tony142:
U better make heaven o, or else I will laugh u on the last day #mumu

Christianity and threats is like 5 and 6. If they use the carrot and it does not work, they start issuing threats all over the place to scare one to believe by force. I am glad, they have stopped using physical force and violence.

gidgiddy:
Both religions worship the same God

Both Religions have the bible as its holy book

The difference between Christianity and Judaism isnt that much

False. Both religions do not worship the same God. Jews worship El or Elohim, which is also sometimes called Yahweh or Jehovah. He is the God of the Jews. Meanwhile Christians worship a triad of Gods as one. They incorporate Yahweh, Holy spirit and Jesus into one God, but of the three Jesus is worshipped the most.

Jews do not use the bible as their holy book, they use the Torah.

The difference between Christianity is as wide as the Atlantic Ocean. All their religious holy days are different. Their doctrines are different. Their religious rites are different. Even Their Sabbath is different.

Flows001:
The beauty of Christianity is that nobody compels anyone to believe or remain a Christian, it's a personal decision and if you don't believe, then keep your irrelevant opinion to yourself, JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, take it or leave it. The Church of Christ will continue to grow and wax stronger and stronger and stronger to the Glory of Jehovah the most high God and guess what? THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NEVER PREVAIL OVER IT.
#Shalom.

Tell that to the incas of Peru and other south American tribes that were converted to Christianity with swords. Tell that to non believers in dark and middle age Europe who were burnt at the stake for heresy.

Religion including Christianity na scam. It a tool of colonialisation, conquest, slavery and exploitation. Your are forced to worship the God of your conqueror to confirm the fact that you and your Gods are inferior to them.

Toks2008:
Many times we have heard of Preachers talk about the need to accept Jesus as your lord and saviour in order to avoid hell but today I'm here to let you into some uncommon reasons why you need to embrace Jesus and after you are done reading this, you will definitely agree with me so here we go.

1. Don't be deceived, nobody truly loves you:

I believe you will be wondering if indeed nobody truly loves you but this is the simple truth. If you die today, nobody will follow you to the grave. Your Mum or Dad if still alive will definitely move on with their lives, your kids will move on, that your Girlfriend ,boyfriend, husband or wife that professes how they deeply love and can't live without you will move on faster than you can ever imagine with another person. Your friends and family members will only remember you once in a while and within a space of a week to a month, 99% of those you think love you so much will forget you ever existed.

But the only Person who truly loves you is Jesus so much that he laid down his life to save you and he will never give up on you as long as you have him as your lord and saviour.

False belief. You parents especially your mother truly loved and loves you. Many mothers had given up their lives for their children - both literally and figuratively. They sacrifice a lot to birth you, feed you, educate you and raise you. For you to appreciate a white mythical person over your parents shows you have deep Stockholm syndrome problems.

2. Nothing that you have worked for or will work in this world is truly yours except your soul.

I believe this is very straightforward. It is ok to make billions whilst on earth, it is cool to be very wealthy and enjoy your life but as you do these you must always have it in mind that all you have, your money, cars, mansions, businesses, everything you have ever worked for in this life actually belong to someone else because you can only enjoy your lot for some time but one day you must leave everything to another person who may even squander everything but one thing that is yours forever is your soul. Your Soul never dies but with Jesus as your lord and saviour, your soul is forever secured and when you die, you care less about what you left behind because eternity with Jesus is over a trillion times more worthy than your earthly treasures.

Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 2:18-19

"I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.  And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless."

Another false and stupid doctrine. This is a doctrine promoted by crooked politicians (including ancient kings and dictators ) in collaboration with crooked priestly class to steal and exploit the poor masses blind, so they don't revolt and expect their rewards in heaven instead. Meanwhile the priests and politicians enjoyed their own reward on earth.

3. A pauper on earth with Christ is richer than all the billionaires of the world put together.

A pauper who has Jesus as lord and saviour is richer than all the combined rich men on earth without Jesus. This is very simple. King Solomon in this present day world is worth about $2Trillion which means all the networth of the ten richest men in the world is just about a tithe of his wealth yet he called all the wealth he had Vanity, a chase after the wind.. Because he had the epiphany of salvation which transcends beyond all the wealth in the world..

$2Trillion kwa?!! Was the whole world economy worth $2 Trillion 3 milliniaia ago? What was the total world population during the time of Solomon and what was the population of Israel? What was the economy of Israel based on that one man could be worth $2 trillion. You guys should lie small small now.

Twelfthman:
Oluwa loni ile.
God owns all things. Every single person and each tiny sands on this plant and the universe

And God has given your land to Fulani Herdsmen to graze their cows. You and your people better start moving out else Fulani Herdsmen would forcefully come and claim what the owner of all things has rightfully given to them.

Walkee:
the major problem is that 98% of humans are base model. You know how cars have base models and full options right?
Majority of humans are just basic. They accept whatever they're told/sounds cool and are incapable of deep rational thinking. I see no difference between Joshua and Abubaka Shekau.
Joshua pulls out a paper and declare God has given him this land, Shekau pulls a paper and declare Allah has given him the northern parts of Nigeria. They both slaughtered people but one is a Saint and the other is a terrorist.

As I said, blacks are beginning to wake up slowly from mental slavery. How anyone can differentiate between the biblical Joshua and Boko Haram's Shekau is hypocrisy.

Black Africans are made to worship white Gods, worship white ancestors and aspire to go to a white heaven. It is insane blacks refers to Abraham, Isaacs and Israel as their fathers.

pstemma1990:
the earth is of the Lord's and fullness thereof.... And he gives anything or anywhere to whomever he chooses..

No wonder the God of the Fulanis chose to gave your lands to herdsmen. When Fulani Herdsmen come to take what God has given to them you resist. When they take it by force, you start complaining.

basilico:
Would you say the same for her dad.
Her dad started the Iraq war and Afghan war.
Trump told his supporters to protest peacefully and this elite snob called it an insurrection.
She is conservative yes, but she hated Trump for defeating Jeb Bush and poking fun at him.
She voted to impeach him and thus sealed her political career

But before that he told his supporters to fight like hell and his personal lawyer said they should have a trial by combat.

His supporters were really prepared to protest peacefully with pipe bombs, shields, bullet proof vests and a fully built noose. Do you know the preparation required to build and transport a noose to the capital grounds?

Cornpop:
You know this is a lie

What is the lie? Are Christians not obsessed with turning every Ifa worshipper, every amadioha worshipper, every ogboni member, every Amorc member to Christian, else label them evil?

JESHAL:
Atheism in French revolution killed plenty , you don't have any right to judge any Religion, these secularism was chaotic and destructive

It was not atheism that killed plenty during the French revolution, it was the failure of religion. The Christian priests and clergy encouraged and promoted all the injustices being perpetuated against the poor masses by the monarchy and the ruling elites.

The same process is going on in Nigeria as the poor masses are slowly waking up to complicity of the religious leaders in the oppression and exploitation of the masses.

Timiofak:
Buttresses my point

Religious extremists.

the only way things move better, separation of religion from state, simple.

True, but Christians and Muslims do not subscribe to that notion. To them everyone must imbibe their beliefs and values, else they brand you unbeliever, infidel, sinner or some other derogatory terms. They merge religion with the state.

benalvino2:
The bold is rubbish. That land has changed hands multiple times and the original settlers are the Israelites. Egypt, romans have all occupied that land. As of resent it was the UK that occupied it before they decided to create two states. One for Israel the other for Palestine.

Question. Is Palestine a state?
You are saying I lack knowledge of history yet you post this thing does not have a factual backing to it. You don't even know how Hamas came to be

Even your bible did not support your notion that the original settlers of the land were Israelites. People were living on that land before Jacob wrestled with the angel and was renamed Israel.

The land was called Canaan, and it contained many tribes.
