See neck.

Let’s be frank, Buhari is just so unpresidential.

Do you people abroad feel proud showing Buhari to your friends as your president

Tufiakwa!

Hahaha... not primarily because of Buhari, I just don't discuss Nigerian politics with my non Nigerian friends here. The whole thing is embarrassing.

ecolime:
Some lunatics are behind the posts. Disinformation is a new weapon world over now.

It's becoming too much. Seems they are increasing in number

VickyRotex:
Hehehe they're. Cos this is also deleted.

But for how long do they want to handle this manually though?

Those bots are unrelenting.

Good Morning Supreme Leader,

Thinking about it, what automated approach can they possibly take?

Seniorwriter:
@WoundedLamb....using the word Y'all is generalising and can be seen as shaming a particular set of people next time use the word some as an adjective.

You are absolutely right. I will be more meticulous next time. Thanks.

Skinnienigga:
Well, he NEVER said he was poor. He didn't sell brokeness, dude had featured Reminisce and Chinko Ekun before coming to the house.

Yeah he was seen as an underdog, but so was Tochi, Trikytee, Lucy and the likes. That removes the "Operation Cameroon" theory.

The guy was smart, funny and frankly, fun to watch. He won because people recognised his talent, and of course, his unnecessary haters helped him get more love.

I mean, how can you just hate someone just cos he doesn't fit your narrative of ideal bbn housemate physically?

I see. Thanks for taking your time to respond!

Congrats to the guy.

Is it safe to say that the seemingly poorest housemates will always win the show since they easily get people's sympathy? Recall that according to professor's "Operation Cameroon", once you have people's sympathy, they'd begin to like you and when people really like you, you can do no wrong in their eyes. Seeing that people (voters) determine the winner in this show, could Laycon's case be as a result of "Operation Cameroon" or was he really exceptional in the house or was it grace as they say?

Meanwhile, Seun and the rest of Nairaland team, what are you guys going to do about these Chinese bots that create new accounts with funny names every night aiming to change the narrative about the corona pandemic? I noticed the mods are trying by deleting each new thread from them but it's obvious they (the bots) are relentless. Is there no other way? I fear they might crash the app if care is not taken. I'm just a concerned forum member.

RuddyFusion:
Ini ndo but where is your husband?

So you really think shaming her for not having a husband is such a great thing? Lol. Africans, y'all are funny over there.

Beauty, they say, is expensive. That's why you'd see some throwback pictures and be wondering if the person was recreated. To those saying she tried to bleach; so she didn't bleach all the while she was up-coming and even when she had the spotlight, it's now she'd wake up and realize being light skinned is better? Well, I doubt she'd do that seeing how people have praised her "brown beauty". Anyway, she'll be fine. Let her see a dermatologist if the patches don't vanish on their own after stopping the cream. She shouldn't try self medication though.

I understand your reservation: topics like this just heaps dogma upon dogma that doesn’t lead to salvation. However, you should understand that if men use the scriptures to justify the unjustifiable, they would use every medium available to them to express unbalanced theology. If it takes
a little yeast to work through the whole batch of dough, false teachers would work and the outcome would be devastating. This writeup is to confound them; and it was also posted in the hopes that they would change and stop their divisive ways, which they do in subtlety, not through topics but through conversation which you may not be privy to.

I have taken your advice into consideration. I would see how I would write or post write ups on love for God and for men.

Heartwarming response

You might want to take out time to educate your friend above on how to engage people with decorum. His/her responses don't make room for non fallacious conversations.

MuttleyLaff:
You've with such a descriptive ID, prolly have been abused, misused or gotten confused up, but I am almost on the verge of typing that I dont care what cop out you want to use, as the truth of the matter is that, the brain, isn't an ornament to decorate the body with, and so, we are blessed with this powerfully built processing functional gift for a purpose, for a reason(s) and for such a time(s) as this/these. Feel free to underuse your brain. OK?

I was actually hoping for a healthy Christian conversation but your response is full of sarcasms that suggest you are only gearing up for a fight and not a chat. I'm sorry for commenting on y'all's thread. Let me go with my underused brain. Have fun!

MuttleyLaff:
I endorse 10000% without demur

The bible, in Proverbs 25:2, states that:
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings" or "It is God’s privilege to conceal things and the king’s privilege to discover them," so it's not OK not to know, but its OK to roll up your sleeves, pull out your fingers, stop sitting on your hands and get to work doing a 2 Timothy 2:15.

"Ise logun ise" loosely translated means "Work and/or study, cancels out lack of depth and its the remedy to reverse knowledge poverty with"

There are some questions to which we do know the answer. But there are other questions to which the best answer we can give is, ‘I don’t know.’ ‘The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us’ (Deuteronomy 29:29a). The culture, positions and power hierarchies of heaven do not necessarily affect the message of salvation and it's better we accept we don't understand the dynamics than to come up with theories just to support out opinions. Such opinionated teachings only bring more division and misunderstanding. Why not concentrate on the message of love which is simple, complete and straightforward?

Acehart:
Ah! you should see many a Nigerian who go for visa interviews and speak so much about a county, district, town or city in the country (which they haven’t been to) they intend to go to. Wouldn’t it be strange if those who see themselves as pilgrims in this world can’t speak of the (heavenly) city they intend to go to after their sojourn is ended? If it is the way of the people of this world to speak of the culture of foreign lands gloriously, it shouldn’t be strange to hear them speak of culture of celestial lands gloriously.

These countries are occupied by men. People go there and come back everyday. It's just another place like wherever you are. Comparing that with people claiming to know about the cultures and hierarchies of heaven is a bit unsettling.

It's actually funny when humans tell tales of heavenly culture, positions and hierarchies like it's one town in Ogun state. Y'all mustn't have answers to everything. It's ok not to know.

While this is amazing, it's not really a surprise and she's not the first. People are asked to do things that engage the brain while being operated on so a malfunctioning could quickly be detected.

Lol... congrats to him.

The seemingly poorest ones will always win. They get people's sympathy and once people like you, everything you do becomes cool in thier eyes. Money Heist Professor called 'Operation Cameroon'.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I never went through the OP's path so I'm not qualified to advise him. However, I want to let everyone reading this to know that I admire the OP and I wish him greatness beyond his expectations.

Sincere hustlers, please, throw in some words. Our kid brother is already on his path to greatness!

SeriouslySense:
I think we need to get to the root of this, why this happens, and how we can educate the youths to have more consideration for their actions, and regard others, such that they do not violate any individual especially the young ones.

By holding men as accountable as we hold women. We spend the whole time telling women how to dress and how to be so that society will accept them. We shame those who do not conform and call them olosho. Meanwhile, men get away with everything including sleeping around and all sort of things. When a man sleeps around, he is a "sharp guy". When a woman does, she gets a truckload of insults. This starts from a young age and we grow up to believe the society will always accommodate whatever we do in our quest for sexual pleasure cause "men will always be men" and some take that too far thus causing these issues.

Matrimonous:
What kind of spirit makes men to get attracted to men?
The thought of it alone is so disgusting.

Even men who get attracted to women do worse on front page everyday. This is not about his sexuality, the man is sick.

oyatz:
Misleading analogy.

Those who started the USA/Canada were largely Western European settlers who had so many things in common (and they weren't in their TRADITIONAL homesteads) plus substantial African slaves which they used to build the economy of the new Nations.

People from Asia, Eastern Europe and other parts of the world are recent migrants who just relocated to the US/Canada to meet already established systems.

I will answer in two folds. First to clarify my analogy and second to work with your perspective.

To clarify my analogy, I was not talking about the colonial masters. America wasn't empty before they came. Europeans where visitors just like they were in Africa. I also was not talking about the immigrants. I was talking about the aboriginal Americans and that's the closest analogy to Africa. The US and Canada had many indigenous groups (though classified into three major ethnic groups) before the coming of Europeans. Though these ethnicities were mostly red Indians, they were of different tribes/culture. This is similar to Africans being blacks but with different tribes/cultures thus my analogy. When Europeans came and made nations out of them (without considering ties), the nations then had these ethnic groups plus English and French people and there were issues (some of which still exist in Canada) but today, the government has institutionalized some policies that ensure these aborigines get equitable treatment while the English and French people each rule themselves however they want.

Now working with your perspective (i.e. starting from the advent of white Europeans), the Western European settlers in Canada where partly from France and partly from England. The European culture is as diverse as the African culture. Saying "... Europeans who had many things in common..." would be seeing the continent just the way they see us "blacks with no difference". France and England were two nations that had different cultures, different languages, etc. After colonization, Canada was mostly made up of these French and English people and they had just exactly the same issues Africa is having now where the French side claimed they were being maltreated. Though they've had two referendums in recent years, the issue has mostly been subdued by the fact that the french regions like Quebec and New Brunswick are almost completely autonomous. They have different tax systems, different immigration policies, different flags (like each province does), etc. thereby bringing the possibility of misunderstanding to the minimal.

Joemetry:
Well, the problem is not me understanding your comment, the problem is thinking that my not agreeing with you means misunderstanding your comment.
Some other guy quoted you too although he wasn't polite enough to text without harshness he tried to make a point too.

The most enduring homosepien is the African man. Half of what an African living in Africa is forced to bear cannot be tolerated by another human in a sane clime including those with the same hue as Africans back home.

Black man is not totally free because when he dares to make moves that may taper to absolute freedom, people start bringing objections and subversive suggestion.

If a people want to form their own Nation within a Nation because of obvious reasons let their decision be honoured, let's not pretend to love these self determined people so much only when they make groans from the pains of their shackles.

The most diverse nation in Europe is Switzerland but look how things are being run in that country. Anyone whose has lived and studied Africans will tell you without mincing that the swiss system is impracticable here in Africa.

Africans have the most intertribal wars all because of these forced unions.

Africa will become a Paradise when we understand our difference and stop the unity in pretence.

First, it wasn't about you disagreeing. I'd already figured you disagreed but I needed to point out that I never stated the western world has the monopoly of splitting. I, in fact, said the opposite. That bit, you clearly misunderstood.

Now, regarding people having the right to break away; theoretically, they very much do have the right if the residents agree (a referendum is, therefore, needed to ensure it is not just a few prominent ones trying to have their way). And I only said theoretically cause if the government let's every group of people that walks into the government house seeking to break away have their way, the country would shatter before their own eyes because there will always be such a group of people given the system of government practiced there in Africa. This is why breaking away is always the last resort.

However, my post wasn't even challenging the right of the people to break away. If you had a minute to read it again, you'd see I was rather challenging the decision itself. Having the right is one thing, being the best decision or the way forward is another thing entirely. The government refusing to give them a referendum is wrong but that wasn't the crux of my post. I only compared the option of breaking away with other available options before the troubled African regions and I said that until a system of government that allows each region to be autonomous is put in place, there will always be some people wanting to break away at every point in time. And how long do you want to keep splitting?

There's power in solidarity and the more a region splits, the more voiceless and insignificant the region becomes at the global stage. On the other hand, having autonomous regions ensures you have one big nation with a loud voice and still enjoy the autonomy of an independent nation. The European union was formed to create this loud voice despite the countries being culturally unrelated. This decentralized system of government has been tested and trusted in many places ahead of Africa so I guess it's safe to say Africans have, for the first time, a little advantage in being backwards cause they can see and emulate what worked for others. I live in the Americas and I can tell you without mincing words that the unity of some of these nations depend strictly on this system.

Good morning.

justwise:
If insults like this kills then i will be dead by now, i receive insults from randomly people almost on daily bases here for the past 10yrs, i never came out to complain.

I only responded to this because he decided to open another account then called my ID for help regarding travel issues, that is taking a piss.

Lastly..this is for those who deliberately focused on length of the ban, ban means nothing because many people quickly open another id to continue posting and a ban by a mod only restrict a member from posting in one section a lone.

The op has opened more than 4 ids since this happened, so the ban did not stop him from doing jack.

He needs to move on with his life.

Done with this.

Going by your own words, it's obvious OP didn't create this thread just cause of the ban. He just wants you to say you've forgiven him. Small things like that matter to one's peace of mind. It won't cost you anything to offer him that and move on. Just my take.

Dreadful:
Oga keep quiet... Let's us go back to how we were before the white man came! In Europe where you have minute nationalities as countries are they not doing well?

I stopped after reading your first sentence. You are not the type to engage in a civilised conversation. Enjoy yourself, bro.

Joemetry:
What do you mean by saying things that support your point?

Explain or simply read my text again!

I can't support any comment against freedom of positive choice.

"Why do you think splitting isn't necessary and Africa thing and who told you that the Europeans own the monopoly of splitting and forming new states when coexistence isn't achievable after decades of forced union?"

Your statement above simply shows you didn't understand my submission. I said splitting is not necessarily an African thing. And I mentioned other places it has taken place. That should tell that I was saying it could happen anywhere and not just in Africa. So you coming to ask who told me Europeans have the monopoly of it is bizarre cause I never slightly suggested they do. My comment was a response to someone who said it was cause of the amalgamation done by the western world in Africa.

You don't have to use exclamation marks while stating your point.

biggy26:
Split not splitted bro.

Thanks... I shouldn't let non standard English creep in when I'm typing on a foreign forum.

Stephenmoka4:
I usually think 2go is a social media app anyway, I somewhat agree on the last part.
That mod that ban you for life, didn't try at all. Isn't it something you both can work it out.

Maybe it is. I can't remember much about the app.

Yeah, the mod wasn't having it. Lol

Stephenmoka4:
few forums and yes, the users were restricted but, not a 2039 thing. The one of recent (without threat) later apologies (not in a clear way, but they are cool with the mod).

Bro, the last time I visited Africa, there was a forum called 2go then. The mods banned me FOR LIFE. I'm 100% sure that if you sent that kinda stuff to the admin of any forum, you'd be booted out.

SenecaTheYonger:
Why did Justwise only ban you and not the girl? I don't understand this kind of moderation. Two of you clearly were at fault. Why was the other person spared? Seun please look into this.

Did you see the chats? OP deactivated his account so I can't see the actual conversation. If you can, please, drop a link. If you don't have it, I wonder how you got to know the two were at fault. Lol.

Meanwhile, the original ban wasn't that long. The lengthy ban only came as a result of the OP's mail to the mod.
