OP you're incorrect. The issue of proliferation of boreholes and depletion of water table are separate issues. If as you suggested for a central water supply source like State Water Board of old,: won't they also take water from the ground to also distribute to peope? How does that reduce the volume of water consumed? If 250m people need 10bn litres daily, that is what they will still use whether it comes from their personal boreholes or waterboard. How does that replenish the source? The warning about proliferation of boreholes is in the area of puncturing so much holes in the earth, which some people fear could lead to earthquakes in future. |

You see what I'm saying as a typical Nigerian? Arguing unintelligently. Go and read and stop being ignorant. HacheNoire: |
The mindset of paying out of pocket and in full in one fell swoop for everything is what is making people outraged. A Nigerian wants a house, he starts thinking how to "gather" the entire money for it. Abroad that people drive mostly new cars, people don't pay for them at once at of pocket, they use finance facilities that enable them pay in installments. Same with housing, they use mostly mortgages. Same with even gadgets and home appliances. Nigerians are not future thinking people. People want everything now. Nobody wants to do anything long term. That is why nothing works. |
Nigerian youths should go and get a life. This over religiousness is irritating. Youths in China are inventing things, building, working and disciplined. Ours here are trying to outdo themselves in religion and hope to be the next Jerry eze or Nathaniel Bassey. It is a shame. |
Yeah, they do that a lot. It is the height of delusion. They lie to make themselves feel like saints. They don't want the accountability of body counts. |
Fate not faith Redomi: |
OP you're perfectly Okay. There's nothing wrong with you. What happened is called "performance anxiety". It happens sometimes. It is not necessarily because you don't find her attractive, or God trying to save you from anything, it just happens like that sometimes. There is no real reason why it happens. At those periods, you just let the person go and you face any other activities, like work, school, sports etc. The next time you have an encounter, it will behave. For the viagra, nothing wrong in using it once in a while, most especially immediately after this kind of episode, just to help you with your confidence and not lose erection again due to more anxiety after the last episode. Generally, you're okay. There is no problem. |
Wrong. Financial worth is directly tied to economic activities. It is not in spurious ratings. China has a better financial worth than the US by scale of the raw economic activities going on there Love800: |
So let me explain this to you as a Doctoral Student of Business Administration: The United States of America is the bastion of capitalism, so what they promote as prosperity is mostly that concentrated in a few individuals and brands. China on the other hand is more communist leaning, so, the focus is not on a few super rich brands or individuals, but on general enterprise. Which is why China has become the manufacturing hub of the world. And which is why the everyday ordinary activities in China directly affects every other part of the world. Onewazobia: |
At least Pakistan is a nuclear power. You are just a gullible spectator, merely existing in the world to feed on crumbs left by others LeeSmart: |
This is an American compiled list. Its so easy to deceive the black man...see all of them hailing. Y'all don't know anything about narrative. In today's world, the race is more about psy-op. If. China releases its own list, you will be confused. At the end of the day, the ultimate determinant is the economics you can see and feel. Not lists. Anyone can make a list. The entire world economy is dependent on China. Stock market indices worldwide, currencies and commodities react directly on a daily basis to what happens happen in China. We are not talking about major disruptions like Trump announcing new tarrifs or threatening war., No, we're talking about simple everyday stuff like manufacturing pace, inventory stockpile, etc in China directly determines the entire world's economic fortune. China is the world economic leader. Not made up stats and fancy private company valuations |
Its a 180 not 360. You go to your opposite position at 180 degrees. Amumaigwe: |
So what is the price for a man? Dtruthspeaker: |
Yes, but the question is: should there even be a price at all? Dtruthspeaker: |
Either way, the point is that women have always been commodified Globad: |
OP you're spot on. And I'll add that this: For those having righteous indignation about our cultural values and so on... I think they are the root of the problem. From times past, a man can only get a bride if he has the wealth to afford it. The so-called "bride price" which we all see as sacred is actually what? It is an endorsement of woman being "paid" for. If you don't pay, you can't marry. It doesn't matter whether some cultures make the amount very small. The symbolism is that you must pay. |
He doesn't need votes to win. Like the writer rightly pointed out, he may not have the support of the masses, but he has organised party structures and political leverage - this includes the legislature and judiciary. These are all that is required to win elections in Nigeria and most developing countries. Even in developed countries, these are the most essential elements, the people's votes are then needed to complete the picture. But here, that is optional. That is why you see sit tight leaders "winning" term after term. The very idea of democracy is a fallacy. The people are not really in charge - because as a collective, people don't know what they want. Decisions are made out of various considerations, either ethnic, religious, popularity, etc. So, in summary, Tinubu will comfortably win a second term. He has the political structure and state institutions and the ethnic appeal of his people - so there will be genuine votes to legitimize the "victory". Jestin: |
It was 1994/95 in Benin City. I remember going with my mum to join a crowd of people at sawmill to hustle for the sawdust. The idea behind this was to minimise the amount of firewood you will use to cook. Because firewood itself had become very expensive after kerosene became unavailable. Kalulu44: |
Yeah I agree with you. With what happened with Ambode, Tinubu would be more favourably disposed to supporting Wike. He wants to reinforce that a godfather should be able to remove a governor. He wants to stamp home the point that a neophyte should not be able to muster the courage and state power to win against a godfather AMINDA: |
Tried to join back then, but of course I don't have the connections. Now the people with connections they put are not interested in the job. They are merely using it to line their pockets while the nation bleeds. Now, the children of the common man, is now uninterested, it is getting to the point where they will now be forcing people to join. Before we get to that stage, they better stop these useless "connections" to get the job, so people who are genuinly interested can get in. Also, they need to scrap or really extend this age limit - to allow more people in. Because if the country gets to the point where you have to conscript, you will take people even up to 60 years old, provided they are able bodied |
Me, I no join dem. That is also as ridiculous JoeEeL: |
One of the most ridiculous sights of the modern day is seeing mere mortals ascribing divinity to themselves under the guise of traditional monarchs or religious leaders. Even more pathetic are regular people who believe this to be true. |
It's funny how much people scribe potency to things. It makes me question: don't those powers work on kidnappers, bandits and terrorists? Don't they work on corrupt politicians? Is it only on already poor suffering people? |
There is nothing in it for men. For the woman, it is about control, they don't mind the public humiliation, they have no sense of shame, no sense of decorum. If you find out, she is at fault in whatever the dispute, but would rather shout and call call crowds |
Talking from both sides of your mouth: thought you said only Christians are being targeted in Nigeria? Which one come be "these demons actually target Muslim worshippers like they did in Borno State"? It's either you believe only Christians are being targeted or not. If you can admit any other sets of people have been affected, then it means you are a clown who can't have an opinion of his own. You must blindly follow a narrative set by others. Trump is not with you on this "moslems were killed in Borno by terrorists" o! To trump, no single person other than Christians have been killed. So its either you align or be branded a terrorist sympathiser. SlavaUkraini: |
I saw that news headline and I immediately thought terrorists had attacked a church in maiduguri, but I later got to learn it was even a mosque that was hit and moslem worshippers were the casualties. This was carefully obfuscated inside "Christmas Eve" It seems after Trump's threat, every media house is trying to frame reportage to suit the Christian genocide narrative, probably to be in the Americans good books. No Nigerian wants anything that will jeopardise their chances of one day travelling to America. |
Obviously a fake fight just to tend. The blows are not real. The anger is fake. |
Pure lies! Women lack the most self control, they are only good at covering up and pretending., that is what people are mistaking for self control. Men are more open about it, so that is why it seems they are the randy ones, but you see women! They get so turned on and can't stay one place and must have that sex with that person they fancy and nobody will know.- why because the guy don't mind being a silent side piece, but a side chick will later cast the man. That's the difference, let's stop this lie that women are more restrained. They are not Diamond098454: |
The cold hard truth about marriage and raising kids is that there is nothing in it for a man. As a man, you need to be strategic to benefit whatever you can from the arrangement. Society will try to shame you for wanting to benefit anything from the arrangement and not wholly the sacrificial lamb. But don't listen to them. Make sure you marry a woman who can only tangibly contribute or in a position to influence something positive for you. Not just a liability that you have to do everything for. Even though the woman will hate it that she has to contribute, but you have to stick to your guns. |
Yes, there is a gun to the head. Dare say you won't do certain things and watch how society comes for you. Say you don't believe in bride price tradition and watch how nobody will touch you with a long pole. Say don't believe in being either a Christian or Muslim and watch how you lose opportunities in life cos adherents of both religions will hate you. Say, you don't believe in the whole institution of marriage and watch the wolves come after you. Say you don't want to have kids and watch people hate you... When my dad passed, I said I don't believe in doing needless ceremonies in the name of tradition. Look at how people that are supposed to be "family" started threatening hell and brimstone. Kobojunkie: |
My thoughts exactly. I know Nigeria is a hookup country, where the only thing that motivates women sadly is money, but notwithstanding, it's better to do the charade of a relationship or even fwb than direct brazen money for hand back for ground BlackPantherxXx: |
