This one is seeking for attention

He's got enough attention to last him for a lifetime. If truly someone made an obituary of him, then I don't see how he's reaction implies he's seeking attention.

Your title says "Ohaneze Ndigbo Reacts..." yet there's no mention of Ohaneze in the body of the write-up. Are you still typing?

She's been on SM doing more than this before now. You only get to hear about it now cause her engagement to Alex got bloggers interested in her life.

What the Bleep is Nzu? Lol. This one na Americanized Igbo. Them plenty that side. Her British equivalent is BBNaijaVee. The only things foreign about them are clear skin and an accent.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

BigJoe19:
You can't be born gay or lesbian. Don't let scientists with evil agenda play with your head, Why would a male body produce sperm and female body produce ovaries if you can't use it to reproduce but do your fellow gender, you guys should be thinking with your brains sometimes. I'm not supporting the bad treatment of gays in the society but I see them like mad people that don't know they are mad, like people that need rehab but feel they are cool.

If you really think that the billions of people in the world were born straight, then you don't really know how nature works. Look around, tell me one aspect of nature that is constantly consistent. Even day and night isn't. Exceptions are part of nature. Therefore, being different doesn't always mean unnatural. I shouldn't listen to science but I should listen to you? Meanwhile, you're using what you learned from the same science as the core of your argument. Overries and sperm theory? What of those born with both organs? They're also mad? Or because, theirs is more physical than hormonal, you can appreciate that?

You see, it's so easy to judge people from afar and tell them about themselves. I'm sure you've never bothered to chat with a gay person with an open mind to thier life journey. But somehow, you feel you know them more than they know themselves. Reality is, homophobia is ignorance at its peak just like killing of twins was. Those that introduced homophobia to Africa have longed moved on but just like in most areas of life, Africa remains stagnant.

I'm already having a busy weekend. Just believe whatever works for. Just know that there's no justification for hurting people because they're not like you. You don't have to agree with them but it's your responsibility to speak up when they're discriminated cause the excuses we make for discriminating others will be employed by those discriminating our own herd one day.

Good night.

about a week ago,i took your stance but there's a "gray" area my friend. "men are the ones proposing", not the other way around. That gives man a natural advantage.you cannot deny each gender has its advantages.im in no way promoting promiscuity among men and yes i were'nt arguing

You say we have the advantage. That's not in dispute; I agree with you. But that same advantage also means we shouldn't be expecting virgins. You can't take that advantage and expect magic in return. The virgins won't fall from heaven. The only thing you can possibly gain from the so-called advantage is successfully shifting the blame to one party alone by claiming you don't have control over your natural instincts. But then, shifting blames will not change the principle of action and reaction. In other words, if men keep having sex before marriage, ladies will keep being disvirgined before marriage. It's like 1+1=2. Truth is, we don't even want to stop it. We don't want ladies to deny us sex. We're enjoying it. We all are in it together. We know it is the order of things and that is why we don't really care about virginity before marriage anymore. We only call out ladies online cause it makes us feel better about ourselves.

This is my stand. I'm not a very religious person. I have nothing against people having sex. It's just important that we embrace the consequences of our advantage.

Good night from here.

Sad reality. Being born gay or lesbian in Africa must be worst tha death.

"Away from her co-wives and husband".

Just wondering what that addition is for. Perhaps, you want to make it look like she's delibrately trying to stay away from them for some reason. Should she carry them on her head anywhere she goes?

Anyway, cute kid.

**Edited**
For those quoting me, the title has been modified. The part I was referring to ain't there anymore.

Smartb0y:
bro,its the natural order of things .a man will always do the courting,just like a cock will always chase after the hen. Its the law of nature,we cannot question or try to change it.
if it was reversed ,same law would apply.
why are we questioning nature bro?
we can't turn a man around.its in his DNA to always do the courting.
Hence why he'll always make advances at the opposite sex(female).
it is left for the female to make the final play.
if anything,she's even more in control of the situation than the male.

I get it. You try to get me too.

Women having sex is also very natural. Some spiders keep multiple male partners and kill the weaker ones. The hen you mentioned 'sleeps' with multiple cocks in its lifetime. Should the ladies use that as an excuse for promiscuity? No, because unlike these animals, humans have institutions. One of those institutions is marriage. The concept of marriage strictly applies to humans, and that changes everything because marriage is the only thing that makes virginity worth it. Animals don't have reasons to be virgins.

One gender cannot respect the institution while the other goes natural. In other words, you can't leave the burden of protecting the human institution on one gender. That's not practical. Provided men are having sex, we can't have virgin women. That's the simple truth. I'm not arguing if it's right or wrong. But leaving men to sleep around while calling out women for having sex is like eating your biscuit and crying that it's been eating. Maybe the men are meant to woo women like you said. But maybe they're meant to stick to one or just court them without sex. However any argument you make for supporting men's promiscuity also excuses that of women.

You get my point now?

Of course, he was. But Shan missed his logic. He only made a case for himself should it get to court. He defense: I was putting on a black and red cloth with the image of the sun on it. Nigeria would have to recognize Biafran to fault him.

Not sure if that's admissible. Just saying he was only building his defense.

Why is everyone calling it a movie on the front page? It's a show/series.

Mastakija:

Lol... you meant to say 'if this was a movie'.

royalamour:
Congratulations! He should sell it and buy a 100 million NGN house and invest 1.2 billion NGN, then keep 600 million NGN to travel round the 7 continents, live life, give 20 million to charity.

Beautiful!

Nice. To be practical, let's not express the amount in NGN. Except he plans to live in Nigeria, N100m can't get him more than a one bedroom apartment downtown. Even his current apartment which is obviously not located downtown is worth more than that. Just wanted to clarify that.

Smartb0y:
smh,what is stopping them now

The same thing stopping the men. If one gender sticks to virginity, the other must comply. This is not about gender dichotomy or feminism. Looking for virgin women while promoting or ignoring promiscuity amongst men is simply logic turned upside down. We know this, we just don't want it discussed.

Krismas:
I Sincerely don even know why am arguing with a western lapdog like u, that swallow everything told by the west hook line and sinker. In ur arrogance and the useless NB u keep NB-ing me, u can’t even see dat am using a phone to chat not laptop with no luxury of paragraphs? If Taiwanese people are the ones to decide, where does that leave the Chinese people? Am sure they have no say! The land upon which Taiwan sits, belong to China, so, I say let China have it. Whether CPC or KMT no matter, China is all that matters. The Americans are too small to breakup a country all for greed and theft sake. To conclude, I have nothing to learn from u about the matter. America owes China money they cannot even afford to repay. China is a lender to EU and several African countries. All from nothing, after been robbed and looted for years with the help of that useless KMT! Still u tell me abt Taiwan miracle? U very ignorant and the likes of u, is reason why wars will never cease on the earth. I pray u’l be around and well the day China takes Taiwan and the American to the cleaners. U and America can den do ur worst. Bye

Lol... this degenerated faster than the value of Naira. If you couldn't add paragraphs for any reason, you could have just said so the first I mentioned that instead of ignoring it and making it look as if you were delibrately making your texts unreadable.

I've not even said anything that suggests I stand with the US and their activities even know you've made series of efforts to make this all about the US. From all indications, you're so anti-US that you don't really care who gets hurts provided the US loses out. You're only seeing a China vs US picture with little to no regards to the occupants of Taiwan. That's why you can afford to say the land belongs to China, let the Chinese have it. I wonder if the people who live there now are Americans. The truth is, the land belongs to the people occupying it. It belongs to the government of Taiwan. CPC has succeeded to taking control of the Mainland but that doesn't mean Taiwan automatically belongs to them. The best they can do is to keep fighting for control, and likewise, Taiwan has every reason to resist using all they have including allies. Forcefully keeping a group of people under an authoritarian leadership is nothing but slavery.

You're already calling names and that's the lane I can't drag with you. Just know that the only power China has over the US is their carefree attitude towards human rights. But if it ever burns down to war, they can neither stand the war experience of the US military nor their technologies. As for the world power that CPC is out to get by hook or by crook, they better be ready to make the sacrifices the US has made to get here or forget about it and stick to their closed culture. Take this from a Chinese/Confucius student in North America.

Now, your bye better be bye cause I ain't responding any argument riddled with ad hominem.

Ciao !

Anyone that sees anything beyond dance in this is extremely perverted. If this is bad, then what dance is good?

Krismas:
The argument of letting the people of Taiwan decide, is FRAUDULENT. Cos so far, it has been the people of America thats been deciding. While I may agree with u, that the KMT has a right to continue the fight for control of China, I believe their slavish association with the US, proves how truly guilty they are for almost selling China to western powers while they were in control in Beijing. The Taiwan miracle is another falsehood cos KMT with the help of America looted all the wealth of China while fleeing to Taiwan. The CPC had nothing to start their government with, they had to borrow money from Russia. It was that bad. Today, CPC has made China the second largest economy in the world, lifted millions out of poverty, reclaimed many of the Chinese territories KMT sold to foreigners and has indeed made China an envy among nations. Wot then did u say KMT achieved within the same period thats miracle? Americans are not helping the world anything! They make war on nations so they can steal resources from them. They use agencies like USAID u mentioned to spy on other nations, like the wiretap they did on the Germans during Obama’s presidency. They do all those things to further their selfish interests. Right from day one, America prefer KMT in China cos CPC will not allow them to steal and cheat China. Today they are asking the UN to make Taiwan an OBSERVER NATION? So u can see, dividing China have always been America’s goal. U can’t therefore say let the people decide. America was the only country that voted against Palestinian statehood at the UN and now, the only country wanting to make Taiwan a nation of its own. Here is my point. Their actions in Taiwan, make war with China inevitable. Wen Americans left Afghanistan, they took those who wanted to leave with them. They did not select a remote part of Afghanistan as relocation site for them, nor saying that the new site wud be the Afghanistan they wud recognize and subsequently asking the UN to grant the new Afghanistan, nationhood of its own. There is none of these conditions the Taliban wud have agreed to. The CPC have been too calm and patient, guess thats why the Americans see it as weakness. When eventually the war start, just like the Korean War, be rest assured the Americans asked for it. They have it long time coming

Sorry, I couldn't read everything. The absence of paragraphs makes me dizzy. I scanned through the text nevertheless and did not see any justification for not wanting the people of Taiwan to decide thier own fate. You're against this because you already know what the people want. The US is merely supporting that decision. If the people of Taiwan say they want to be part of China today, you think the US will hold them back?

And please, let's not just say things because we want to make points. If you know about the Taiwan Miracle, you'd know it is impractical to slightly suggest it was just a pre-existing loot from Mainland China. When was the Taiwan Miracle and when did they loot China? The timeframe and situation of the country before the economic boom is enough to dispute this claim. Thier economy is one of the most studied mid level economies in the world. There are, therefore, reports, exposés, research papers, etc. eaching studying the different factors that contributed to the economic boom. You can take a look at any. China was no where to be found when these guys were having hard times but today, they want to forcefully take over Asia's 10th largest economy. That's laughable.

The association of Taiwan with the western world only goes to show why they rejected the communist party in the first place; they're not willing to accept their level of authoritarianism. It does not prove anything asides this. It's only logical that they get along with the side that share their values. If Nigeria splits today, the North will associate more with the Middle East while the South will associate with the West. If China has achieved all you've mentioned while Taiwan has nothing, why are they still hell bent on taking over the region? This same CPC were once the resistance before the Civil war. If they had lost, they would have been the ones seeking independence. Now they believe they won, so it's thier right to take over the losers just like you said earlier. But like I said, the war is not over. The fact that the US is supporting Taiwan aside, this is an extension of the Chinese Civil War and it's still ongoing. If the people of Taiwan do not want to go back to China, thier choice must be respected.

Let me ask you, if a new government forcefully takes over Nigeria today and forces the Islamic rule on the nation, it's only natural that the SE will want to go thier way, right? Now if the US comes to the aid of SE at this point, would you also say they should mind thier business? Please, regardless of how you view this, the people should be given a choice. We can argue this forever buy there's no superior argument to freedom/choice. Even if the US has their motives, the Taiwanese should still have the final say.

Krismas:
Pls spare me all ur PEOPLE OF TAIWAN MUST DECIDE CRAP! U only repeating the silly statements of the Americans. Wot does it matter if KMT were ruling before or Taliban were ruling before? KMT does not OWN CHINA or do they? Nigeria has seen many coups, will u now say, Buhari shud choose to accept the government of Babangida? Cos he was the one ruling b4? Cos it should not be by force or wot are u saying self? If Biafra has won the civil war, u wouldn’t dare be comparing them carelessly as u are doing today. In war winner dictates the terms. It is so till next tomorrow. China had a civil war, the KMT lost and wit it every right to dictate terms. Why didn’t the British come to fence off Nigeria from defeating Biafra completely? With the lie that Igbo people must agree first? All of that should not have been the business of the Americans. And shud a world WAR happen over that, eg China invade Taiwan and attack anyone attempting to come to d aid of Taiwan, then the Americans must be held squarely responsible for the whole thing cos they meddling in the internal affairs of another country

I never said KMT owns China because they were ruling before. I never even used that to justify anything. That part was just to shed light on your faulty analogy where you kept KMT side by side with Biafra. I said KMT can't be compared with Biafra cause they're not just a budding government seeking secession but an existing government resisting a hostile takeover. I don't know how you ended up making it the core of your argument.

Now, you're back to the thought process of "the world isn't a fair place, the winner dictate terms". If you are going to stick to that, then we shouldn't be having this chat. Let's just stop trying to justify any party and let the eventual winner take over since the war obviously isn't over. Taiwan is still fighting back with the aid of the US. They have not given up just yet. So if you're simply supporting China's bullying cause they won the war, then you have no reason to criticise Taiwan or their allies cause they're simply still fighting the war. Also, if the cold statement "the winner dictates the terms" is your way out, then you have no reason to reject the saying that he who pays the piper dictates the tone. In other words, you can't be complaining when America plays the big brother in world affairs only to keep mum when they contribute the highest to some world organizations or when they reach out to the poorer countries via bodies like the USAID (which contributed to the Taiwan Miracle).

Again, before you make this the core of your argument again, I am not saying the US should dictate for other countries cause of thier economic power. I only reminded you that simply supporting China on grounds of the cold statement "the winner must dictate the terms" is a self destructive argument cause that implies supporting the resistance for not wanting to be the loser and also supporting the payer of the piper (the US) to dictate the tone. My point remains that, at this point, the most logical thing to do is to let the people of Taiwan have the final say. I am not American and I do not need to be pro-American to be logical. Forcing the people of Taiwan back to PRC is tantamount to slavery not just because they'll be part of the country against their wish or because China will treat them any differently from the rest of the country, but simply because slavery is the only term to describe forcing someone under an authoritarian leadership against their wish. Like I said, the world has gone beyond that.

NB: Please, for the sake the decorum we've enjoyed so far, be mindful of the words you use in your argument.

Krismas:
My friend, u seriously wrong, though u try, u know the history small, unlike others talking crap. However don’t 4get the KMT was running China upside down b4 CPC decided to oust them. Upon the watch of KMT Japan was gifted a large cache of China by western powers, who took Hong Kong and Macau for themselves. Poverty was widespread and government of KMT couldn’t prevent the repression from Japanese army. KMT lost the civil war, so the talk of them representing China at the UN is a joke, right? It was American Idea that they shud continue as ROC in Taiwan. America escorted KMT and some 2million people who fled Mainland under the lie that CPC will target them. Pretty the same way people fled Afghanistan thinking the Taliban will attack them. KMT took along with them every single wealth of the Mainland discernible. They looted the Mainland and America helped them to park it all to Taiwan. Yet, as at 1945, ONLY AMERICA WAS THE COUNTRY WHO RECOGNIZED ROC AS THE AUTHENTIC CHINA OPERATING FROM TAIWAN. The rest of the world took PROC AS THE AUTHENTIC CHINA OPERATING FROM THE MAINLAND. America has since swallowed their pride and reverse their recognition for PROC as the authentic China. Taiwan therefore has no business remaining outside the control of the mainland. Taiwan is CHINESE TERRITORY. Its the Americans trying to divide China into PROC and ROC, mainland and Taiwan. And I think it should be resisted as colonial oppression. Nothing concern the Americans abt the internal affairs of China. As I see it, CPC has unfinished business with the KMT in Taiwan. Its the last fight and nothing like any silly Taiwan referendum

So what exactly am I wrong about?

I was not wrong when I said you comparing Taiwan to Biafra was a reverse logic. The argument of why the communist party rose to power in the first place and if it was justified for them to take over is another discussion; one that would be more opinionated than factual (after all, the same people accused of running down the country spearheaded the so-called Taiwan Miracle using socio-economic reforms). I said the KMT was the existing government before the rise of the communist party, so you can't compare them to Biafra which is rather the rising government in this case. Therefore, Taiwan not wanting to be part of China is not just a group of people seeking secession but a group of people saying no to a 'hostile take over'. They do want the CPC style of leadership and they do not want it forced down thier throat. Even the comparison with Taliban is flawed cause Taliban was in power before the ousted government. The fact is, CPC was/is forceful/authoritarian, resistance is only natural.

To get a better picture, imagine the Housas forcefully pulling down the existing government cause there is a high rate of poverty and crime in Nigeria and then coming up with an Islamic government with the idea that they alone can get rid of the aforementioned issues and suppress Boko Haram, ISWAP, UGM, etc. Even if they eventually succeed in doing all these, I'm certain many southerners wouldn't want to be part of such a setup. I know the Taiwan/China case is not about religion or ethnicity, but it's case of different ideology nevertheless. And one does not need the US to know that's it's only logical not force them into accepting the new government simply because they no longer have the resources to resist. We have long passed that era in human history. I maintain that only the people of Taiwan should decide thier own fate.

NB: You might want to paragraph your text next time. I had a hard time reading this one.

Kumawood? Lol... 'Americanism' is real.

Notyourtype:
You mean they will start recieving N2m+ in every two years without working..
GOD who i offend

Lol... sounds big when converted to Naira but the truth is, money is what money can buy, and the basket worth of that money (€6000) in Spain is not up to the worth of N2M in Nigeria. Except one lives in Nigeria and spends only in Naira while earning in euro, converting foreign income to Naira is misleading. €250, for example, when converted to Naira can pay a one-year rent for a one bedroom apartment but that same amount can hardly afford you a month rent for a similar apartment in most Spanish cities where the recipients actually live and spend. In other words, the annual payment (€3,000) can hardly secure a decent place to call home the way the Naira equivalent would for a year. Exchange rates don't tell the full story.

Nevertheless, this is to put things into perspective and not to undermine the efforts of the Spanish government. They are reducing the financial burden on thier citizens by subsidizing rental cost and that's commendable.

Workch:
Dude, you don't know how the world works. The world isn't fair man.
You are the person employing pity and emotions over logic.
The same reason why China won't let Taiwan go is why Nigeria won't let Biafra go

If it were just all about politics and accepting the world as an unfair place without raising an eyebrow or attempting to do anything about it, then why exactly are you against the US? Why are you speaking up against them? You're taking a side because you believe you have a logic to back it up. So don't tell me about how the world is unfair in a bid to subdue an alternative perspective.

Your analogy is not accurate. If you want to compare Nigeria with China, then China (PRC) would be Biafra in this case and not Taiwan because the government of Taiwan (ROC) was there ruling the country long before the communist party rose and forcefully took control of the Mainland China. In fact, the Taiwanese still believe they should be the one representing the whole of China at the UN. So comparing the pre-existing/old ROC government with Biafra and thereby calling the newer PRC government Nigeria is a reverse of logic. In fact, it would be sacrificing logic on the alter of power.

Before the advent of the Chinese in Taiwan, there were non Chinese Taiwanese already there. And even after the Chinese took over, it wasn't long before the Japanese took control of the region. The Chinese only regained control after the fall of Japan. The rise of the communist party in China was met by resistance which led to the loss of Mainland China to them. They are trying to take over Taiwan today simply because they have the resources/power. But they do not have the justification. And if resources/power is all that counts, then there's nothing wrong with what the US is doing. But we are having this chat only because we're both trying to look beyond power and attempt to justify the actions of the parties involved. And so far, I've not seen any convincing justification that PRC should take over ROC against thier wish.

Workch:
China doesn’t recognize Taiwan as not part of China’s territory. Who made the west the geographical arbitration?

That’s the point, she doesn’t give a heck what the west thinks about it. It won’t allow U.S have presence in Taiwan. There’s nothing wrong is forcefully acquiring Taiwan to stop U.S

U.S did it in the past several times. I have evidence of that

Let's not get more emotional than logical. It is not about what the West thinks. People's fate should not determined by another's interest or ego but by themselves alone. I really don't know how else to say this. The région in question is Taiwan. Regardless of the interests of China or the US, the wants of the people should come first. I never implied the US has the right to draw geographical lines. I am saying what the Taiwanese want should be the ultimate. The ideal thing should be to have a referendum. The people should be given a voice.

Workch:
Yes, but when U.S leaves their region to build military bases in other countries and Taiwan has shown all traits of allowing U.S to do that to contain China, China won’t allow that happen.

Taiwan should not become allies with problematic U.S that will allow U.S build a base close to its borders. But Taiwan seem to be open to allow that happen and China has to checkmate that

You're still missing the point. China is in no position to tell Taiwan with whom to be allies. They can play the known national politics of denying them aids, etc. But using military power to subdue them is way outdated. China needs to know that the world has gone beyond that stage.
