Oga no ransom for kidnappers. This "if they were your children" line you people use in justifying empowering these terrorists to do even more has to stop.
generalwo: ...... Quick question sir, if your son or daughter was among those kidnapped, will u make this same suggestion? Basically what you are advocating for is that the students 17 of them that are left should be left to their fate even though we all know they will most likely end up dead like the other 5..........now, sentencing those innocent students to death, how does it solve anything? One American was kidnapped the other day, they sent their military to rescue him and ur was done without negotiating with the terrorists and many of the terrorists ended up dead but now it's a Nigerian life, you're advocating we should forget about them while we face the terrorists..... Why can't we make an attempt to rescue those students alive or better still request assistance from nations who can be of help........ Bros this your suggestion is inhumane and I am 100 percent sure it's because non of your family members is among those kidnapped. ..
Ransom that you will use to kidnap even more people. No ransom for you. Kill them if you want to. Those you've killed earlier nko? Will you ressurect them?
You are supposed to ask. That is how you ensure justice is done. Justice is superior to your naiive gender wars. In this country, people get away with murder because they narrated their side of the story first, and immediately simple-minded emotive folks like you already reach a verdict. Do you know how many people were murdered and made to look like suicide? And gullible folks like you, rather than ask for investigations to ensure no foul play, you start writing meaningless stuff like "no matter what you're going through, suicide is not an option", "take care of your mental health", bla bla bla. If you don't know anything, at least, learn from the George Floyd case: even though, the case was glaring and captured on camera, rigorous questions were still asked.
TheOnlyUyai: Are you even supposed to ask this question? If this happened to your sister, would you still be asking such a barbaric and insensitive question? Why was your gender even created?
Shut up! He asked a valid question. Nigerians will just hear one side of a story and start screaming blue murder. What if you hear the complete story and hear the man never did this to her? Even Derek Chauvin that killed someone in broad daylight was still given an opportunity to say his own side of the story
TheOnlyUyai: How dare you ask me such a disgusting question?
This alone is a basis for a ban. This is hate speech.
As in ehn, instead of this shameless humiliation, why not maintain a dignified "no-comment" stance? You will still be prosecuted anyway. With the cameras on, no way you will beg and they will let you go, so why try? Even Derek Chauvin wey kill person in broad daylight that the whole world was calling for his head still maintain a dignified stance to go serve his punishment for his crime.
Guys make we try as much as possible to dey do what is right. Try so hard to be good. Be upright. So that no idiot will ask you to sit on the ground asking questions with you begging like a slowpoke. For me o...I'd rather die than sit on the ground in front of a fellow human. I'd rather die on my feet. It's the royal way. In any case strive to do good always. And please say no to child molestation. Please.
If you want nack women plenty. Those of easy virtues sef dey. Soap dey. Vaseline dey. Indomie and egg bend down collect dey. Choose your poison. A rod is enough for the yansh.
As in ehn! I can so relate: during my NYSC, had similar experience, though, no one threatened me, but I was shocked at the extent people will go for power. Ordinary CDS that nothing was at stake, this guy played the religion card, the tribal card, the money card, etc. I still won sha, but he tried to make my tenure as uncomfortable as possible, playing dirty opposition. One day, I told him: are you aware in less than 3months none of all this will matter? But you would have made a lifetime enemy. Baba no hear. Years after NYSC, I saw his friend request on FB, I just delete am shaperly.
PlayMaker14: Ordinary CDS president post during my service year, a fellow contender had to show me his true colors by threatening me.... I for one don't bow down to threats or intimidation of any kind, but the lady I was dating then advise me to leave the position for him base on some factors... (Home advantage)
I did not listen, I went ahead with my plans too, but the guy organise some boys at the LGA I served to harrass me at a viewing center. They came with a dagger that had something that look like honey dropping from the sharp end and spoke in a harsh Hausa tone. I asked the locals who tried to calm the situation what they were saying and to my surprise, it was a deadly warning from my fellow contender.
Had to drop my plans and pick up the Financial Secretary form where I don't have any threat.
No position is worth the blood of your fellow human being, because someday you will vacate that seat you obtained through bloodletting.
May his killers and those behind this be found and killed as well.
I really applaud the groom. I don't know what Nigerians obsession with dancing is. Some of us cannot dance and when you try to tell these people not to put you in that awkward situation, they just don't get it! Years ago at an event, I specifically told the MC that I can't dance so he shouldn't call me out for it, guess what? He still did! I told him, but I specifically told you not to, he said "just dance" , I said, that is the issue, I can't, I don't know how to, why can't you people just respect a person's decision?
Poverty story: you're 24, with 2kids and still pregnant, your husband is just 29 already littering the whole place with kids. As is typical of your people, you're a full time housewife meaning you don't mind do anything, you're unemployed afterall, "it is the man's work to face life alone and come feed you and the kids". The man foolishly also believes this - thats why you're Africans, that's why you're Nigerians, that's why you're ibos. "Its your tradition". That's why you drag for property and inheritance, that's why you live in a family commune, that's why you and his sister got into a fight. Its all traditions and customs
Dem no abduct or kidnap anybody joor, Na all this small girls wey like prick and money don run away with Alhaji. I feel the parents pain especially as the romantic affair crosses the religious red lines. But that's what there is to it. No kidnapping. Before you come for me, let me restate my stand that Buhari is a terrorist and the average Muslim northerner is terrorism inclined and the average Yoruba Muslim is a slowpoke.
Pantani was exposed, next thing Govt miraculously starts identifying and arresting nameless terrorists financiers who are actually nobodies. Something it had failed to do in the last 6years. All of this is just a ploy to divert attention away from Pantani and make it look like the government is fighting terrorism which obviously it is not.
Thank you so much for this comment. It is heartwarming to know there are still few intelligent people left in this country. This has always been my position whenever a death is recorded - to properly investigate and ensure no foul play. Nothing irritates me than Nigerians love for that meaningless abbreviation "RIP"...like who are you telling to rest in peace? The already dead person that can't see or hear you? Nigerians can't even write a proper tribute. They will be telling each other "RIP". Mtcheeew. Bunch of vacuous people
Let us stop dashing out unsolicited Rip, it's as if we have been conditioned like Pavlov dogs to type Rip for every unsolved and unnecessary death in this country.
If we end everything with Rip, so many murders will go unsolved. Let us ask questions. that is why we have brains.
it is because we asked questions that is why the government has not turned to abacha style government, we asked questions that is why that 100level student that was raped in church. Her rapist was found quickly.
You mean no student visited his office through out that day, what about cultist involvement. was there no lecture for him?.
was his door locked, did he have a pre existing conditions, was he sick, these are questions that are necessary, if not somebody will be quick to give you Muslim burial just because you fainted.
kehinde1588: Fake news. Buhari is on his way coming right now. If you are in Abuja, and you have passed through airport road this evening, you will definitely know Buhari is on his way back. Security personnels ( Army, police and road safety) are on the road waiting for his arrival
Accurate to a fair extent. All though you seemed to assess Lagos as against the entire southwest, besides Lagos and the little part of Ogun State contiguous with Lagos, the other southwest states are as unviable as the others in the country...
"Here is my prediction for the different components of Nigeria if it breaks up. Only four countries are likely to emerge.
1. The Yoruba will start off much easier than others. The Yoruba have some of the aces (relatively homogenous, access to sea, relatively organized socio-politico-economic system, educated human resources) to start surviving quickly.
2. The Igbo have all that the Yoruba have, except for unquestioned access to sea. But they will suffer seriously for the first couple of years, due to the obvious dislocation of their investments all over Nigeria. There will be chaos due to competition and lack of centralized leadership.. But they will bounce back and become very strong. They will catch up with the Yoruba at some point.
3. The South South will descend into seemingly unending inter ethnic chaos over language, culture, resource allocation, as well as the geographical dislocation (compare location of Cross River to Edo) of their new country.
4. The North will continue life almost as usual (religious problem and insecurity, and subjugation of minorities). They will get poorer over time. But many are already so poor that it really does not matter anymore. As long as the non Muslims don't give any problem, the North will not suffer more than it is doing now. They have the ample land for agriculture. They will adjust to survive.
Note that these are predictions, not prophesies. Good luck.����"
One lady's response captures my view: it depends on the structure of the home - if it is the one where only the man goes out to work and the woman is a full time housewife, then the man should get some rest on weekends that are his only rest days. But if both of them work, then they should both do the chores. This is true in 1961 as it is today.
thebosstrevor1: Anyway, if you don't want your wife to get old fast, help her or atleast employ a househelp to support.
Your wife is not your machine, she is your wife, she needs help sometimes.
I was just watching a street interview done in Australia in 1961.
Definition of news is information you can use... An individual performs a routine act of taking his family to church - I don't see what I can do with this piece of information, it neither enlightens nor entertains me.
