₦airaland Forum

I need to withdraw $68 from my fiverr Asap.
Payal, please
Trust worthy people only.

CocoEsta:
I did my interview on Monday and the next day GEM team visited my place to inspect my business to be sure it's in existence. I was asked some questions and an assessment form was filled. I'm waiting for the mail of grant signing. New Awardee

You just did your induction and got a visit the next day? You must be among those who don't need any training before accessing the grant. When did they say they would get back?

EmeeNaka:
This thread will be closed soon.

For what reason should it attract such a penalty?

Afonjashapmouth:
If dem go hear.... by the way who sabi where stout dey cold break teeth around isolo

Enjoy your life my brother. Na so e suppose be. When I get beer to drink na him I go dey fight tribal fight with my keyboard?

Been on this forum for a minute and I see the inter-tribal fights never end. I think it is really slow and I hope I can appeal to your common sense. Here are a few reasons if you care about upgrading your intelligence.
1. E-tribalists are cowards.
Faceless forums help people become anything they want to be. Some people think they can become supermen of their tribes, combing every nook and cranny of the internet, defending their tribes and attacking others. No sane person in real life goes about attacking other people 24/7 without ever caring what people think of them. Even an insane person would have to work really hard at it. We might attack others in moments of careless insensitivity that can be chalked up to temporary insanity, but no one is temporarily insane all the time.
So if you fight people of other tribes here all day but keep your mouth shut in the streets, you are just a coward. Don’t be a coward masquerading as an insane person. Cowardice is not an admirable quality.

2. Many E-tribalists are minors.
By this I mean many nairaland tribalists have not yet reached the legal age of maturity which is 18. Unfortunately, the forums membership rules does not include being an adult before you can comment on topics. So by law many of the guys fighting here are not yet fully responsible for their actions. Being able to read and write is all you need to be here, and you don’t even need to be proficient at it. Once you can string together a few social media abbreviations you are good to go.
A young person’s views on things changes very fast. Seven years from now, they probably wouldn’t believe half of the things they believe right now. That also includes the way they feel about other peoples. So before you start getting irate and loading your virtual clip at a minor, remember that.


3. You don’t want to be a weak and sentimental person
The war you are fighting is as old as man and will never be won. You are never going to silence everybody who feels some type of way about you. You can’t prove a point to everyone who thinks they are better than you just by virtue of their belonging to a particular tribe.
If someone says something derogatory about your people and you dwell on it you are just going to want to get even. Instead of that, just look at it as a chance to prove to yourself that you have self-control.

4. It’s not that important
Really, it is not. All that noise you’re making, the Fagani people of the Solomon Islands don’t know about it. I had to use google to know the Fagani people exist. They don’t know about how annoying that tribe that occupies the territory not far from yours is. You don’t know about the Fagani people and their enemies either. They know that they are not the only humans on this earth though. That’s all that counts. We are all humans and we are related. In a two thousand years, all Nigerian tribes may not exist anymore, but their genes will continue. That’s what’s important

That’s it for now. You can add yours.
Mods let this one set my people free.

We need to be selfless if we are to move forward.

I JUST LOVE PUCCCY TOO MUCH TO BE CHASING ANY SHIIIIT HOLE, MALE OR FEMALE EVEN IN A BILLION LIFE TIMES.

kgr28:
Who else has'nt toured SA?EMINEM coming to SA, for his repture tour, Jhb and CPT.

Did he come as planned. I wish he would come to Nigeria sometime.
By the way, where's your friend all4naija? What moniker is he using these days?

pocohantas:
He is an Uber driver, they met 19th July,2016... he proposed by 12th December. This is May 21st, 2017 and they are already married. All this happened in less than a year. Most men know what they want. It doesn't take them a decade to figure it out.

You're a young lady, you and your boyfriend are okay to make the move, but he's is busy telling you he gats taste and be sure of what he wants to buy. He has been tasting and testing you for 5yrs, is he a Quality Controller? Continue...

For the set of ladies, waiting for Anthony Joshua...continue too.

For the young men, tasting every girl like orange...Amadioha will visit you.

Congrats to the couple. True love is everywhere, in danfo, uber,inside market, even on Nairaland,minus Romance section sha.

TOP Quiz

Why are all the men in the tribe chasing after pocohantas?
Answer: Because she loved to poke the hunters.

KingEbukasBlog:
Women have the propensity - its natural - to desire men who would dominate in most areas of their lives . Biologically speaking, it has nothing to do with religion . Religion just reminded women there .

Its funny how this eluded Seun , an evolutionist .

Don't mind Seun. When he is defending atheism he can be a religious fanatic.

Seun:
What men need and what women need are equally important; neither is more important than the other. I don't think any human being desires or prefers to play second fiddle to another human being for life. If I am wrong about that, women should speak up and correct me. Many women resign themselves to it and try to cope with it, because that's what our society expects, but they would all prefer to be equal partners.

I have not seen any correct me either. Equality is not necessarily fair. To each according to their need is fairness. We want fairness for everyone, not equality. Many women despise equality. Most desire a man they can look up to who is way above their level in many ways.

Seun:
I think the idea of one person being compelled to submit to another person for her entire life is incredibly sad. No one should live that way. l don't want my wife to obey me, but I want her to be reasonable and rational and logical. That is all you need. You don't need a slave for life.

I am not talking about what YOU think they need. We are talking about what THEY need. Is that not what's important? They are not being compelled if that's what they desire, are they?

Agathabishen:
Its not everyone that does online training. some goes straight to business plan after induction. there are also different types of grant. like performance grant, matching grant etc. about 5 grant types base on what they thought us during unduction

I understand the way it works. I did my induction few weeks ago. They said they were going to get back to us in 4-6 weeks. Tomorrow will make it exactly 6 weeks since I did mine. Everyone is suppose to receive a mail from them that tells them whether or not they qualified. I hope I hear from them this week.

LordIsaac:
Straight from my mind....kudos!

Thanks, bro.

vikiylove:
It means you are above average.. You have worth, self esteem, and you know what is right and what is wrong..

Ok, I thought it meant I am a man who's always in class studying or something like that.

neksummi:
My induction was a success.

Congrats, when did they say they'll invite your batch to the online training?

vikiylove:
Interesting!!.. Your moniker and your comments show that you are a man of class.. Hope it is same in real life?

I try to be peaceable. What does it mean to be a man of class?

vikiylove:
How long did it take you to type this..

You calm that we have nothing upstairs and I know that you are referring to yourself too when you say we..

I see your point and I agree with what you said about living within their means... But the truth is that according to the dictionary.. Nigerian men (most especially) are broke

Trust me, I used the collective pronoun "we" because I don't want to be condescending. It was deliberate. There is no suffering without desire. You cannot be too broke to buy something if you have no desire for it. Men bend over too much to please women in this country materially. I make my money and I should spend it responsibly, not try to please a deity who demands sacrifices I can't meet. Nigerian men are too weak when it comes to that.

vikiylove:
When they are trying to gist you.. They will look really wealthy... Only for you to start hearing stories and watching their bank account go through the peril..

Nigerian men are not broke. I am very well into my 30s and I don't think they are worse financially now than they've been in the last two decades. You see, I remember the 90s vividly because that's the decade I grew up in. Life was way harder for the Nigerian man but his expectations and aspirations sort of matched his situation. But now we live in an era when we are exposed to so much materialism that we have a hunger for things that are beyond our economic status. Just listen to ten Nigerian love songs and at least eight of them have "I will buy you prada, buy you gucci and ferrari" and all that stuff. These guys sing these things because they feel people like to hear them. It is not coming from a deep place. That guy can't even tell the difference between one designer from the other. He is broke and also a little cerebrally challenged. He can't connect with his audience on a deeper level than that. Listen to your rock music made by people who are are from middle class background with parents who went to college, do you hear all that stuff in their songs? But people from the hood whose parents dropped out of high school and they too did mostly only dwell on such subject matter. You cannot be more than what you are. Our approach to life is this way because we have nothing upstairs.
Look at the poor movies you make always with the same story of a guy who leaves the village and goes to the city, becomes rich and comes back to marry his sweet heart. How many times do you see that scenario in other industries? Why can't we have movies with ordinary folks tackling problems the normal way? We have nothing upstairs. You cannot be more than what you are. The makers of such movies are as unintelligent as the people who watch them. Unfortunately, they influence us. Talk about the blind leading the blind.

Nigerian men are not poor. Nigerian men should live within their means. So should the women who love them.

cytell56:
Sure, they still steal money even with all that because of their "Itikolo"

They steal money but you don't know that this one is stolen.

cytell56:
The money he used in getting them actually belongs to the people. He is only returning back what he has acquired illegally. Chikena!!!

Actually, a legislator can do this without having stolen money. The constitution allows them to access funds for what they call "Constituency projects". It is one of the quasi executive functions of the Nigerian legislature. I don't like it, but it's there in the constitution.

Seun:
There's no good reason for female atheist to marry a devout Christian or Muslim. It is highly unnecessary, because for every female atheist there are at least 10 male atheists. Also, you would be miserable, because major religions teach that wives should "submit" to their husbands.

I am very sure a lot of these atheist girls here are not opposed to the idea of submitting to their husbands when they get married. Some might hate the word but long for the very arrangement that puts them in that position -most of them long for a mate who is the provider. That is a position of power that tends to demand submission. You might believe it came from religion but there are atheists who believe women are wired that way by evolution- to seek the strong dominant male that can protect and provide for them and that they can in turn submit to. Don't pay too much mind to the things they say about submissiveness, rather look out for the decisions they make.

ItsMeAboki:
Now if this had happened against a Benue, Plateau or southern Kaduna community which are predominantly Christians, some e-rats and their likes would have turned it into a religious/ethnic conflict.

There's a question I have had on my mind. Isn't the average nomadic cattle rearing Fulani an Animist. Those hair braiding, skinny trousers wearing men and those women with navel revealing traditional clothes aren't muslims, are they? I grew up in the north central and I know those guys I've met are not muslims. Can you shed more light on this. What percentage of the cattle rearing nomads are actually muslims?

Amarabae:
He is dating a white girl? Mtcheew. Sellout.
Black guys in UK and inferiority complex.
Always avoiding to date black ladies esp. Dark skinned black ladies.
Rubbish.
Nonsense.

Racist comment. Who told you she's white? What's wrong with dating white people?

Yorobastard:
Black people should stop this marrying of a white person just becos theyou want to have cute children....cos at the end of it all your blackness is a goner and you are helping regenerate the white people and their population


Not happy with this guy....I hope that woman was there for him while he was in prison if not his mum did not advice him well

Racist comment.

intruxive:
nice try olugbo, but according to history moremi broke your masquerade marauding jinx and ife destroyed your forefathers. Sorry u cant change the narratives even though I hear you are a billionaire and the cash is shacking you. Take your place, the back sit b4 the rest of the obas sit and banish your kingdom once again

He can't take the back sit. He is already a first class king. That places him ahead of many Obas already, and the money puts him ahead of a lot more.

Omoluabi16:
Ser Clifford orji was a murderer and a cannibal.That's way different feom someone who decides to walk away from certain beliefs.

There are religions in which cannibalism is part of their rituals. Terrorists who are kept in solitary confinement are also excommunicated from the rest of human society. They are in that situatuon because of their BELIEFS

Omoluabi16:
hmmm. when you excommunicate someone because he no longer shares in your beliefs. That is wrong on all levels.

Not exactly. If that someone became Cliford Orji after you brought him up well excommunicating him is "not wrong on all levels". I am not a witness but that is faulty reasoning

Ginaz:
That was the reason I didn't get baptized, when I was 17 the pressure was hot like a stove, my friends were all baptized. Once you are baptized in Jw, you are strapped brother. You have to take whatever they tell you but you can't ask any question in return.

I'm in my mid twenties now, I do things my way so far it is morally right. Don't kill yourself in the organization if you have a doubt about finding the truth. The truth was meant to be found not given. Be a man and man up to what you believe is right.

I don't go out to field service, they can't kill me can they?

****Modified because I omitted a word that should have given it meaning****
You know depending on how strong their "conscience" is at the time I'm getting married I might not have any one of my family members in attendance. I have left the organization but that's the harsh consequence I must face.

I don't like going out for field service, I always don't enjoy it as I feel pressurized when all jw youngsters go out in the field ministry. I always got it at the back of my mind it's nor right for a young child to go our to preach, what do they know yet?

Jesus didn't preached at a young age instead he went to the temple to gain more knowledge and he was in his thirty's when he started his earthy ministry and also got baptized.

All Jw take their children our whether the child doesn't want it or not. Worst part is they put pressure a lot on them to get baptized early when when they are in their teens(what do they know yet?)

And also not everybody are supposed to go out..(the Bible made that clear that some will be teachers, apostles, evangelizers,

I get your point. But since it is a "spirit directed" organization you are not allowed to hold your own personal opinion. The faithful and discreet slave are not infallible yet they cannot be questioned. That's a huge contradiction many witnesses will not confront.
In my case I drifted out in my 20s, went back before I was 30 for two years. Now I'm almost in my mid 30s and I dread the day I decide to wed. I was baptised so there would be consequences. You should know what I mean.
