Nice. The food items found in Nigeria are sufficient to prepare many alternative dishes that are not originally Nigerian. Here's a few suggestions from me:

1) Roasted sweet potatoes with honey and cinnamon. There are other sweet potato recipes and you can never go wrong with any of them. The sweet potatoes I saw in Nigeria are the yellow ones but I'm guessing it'll be just as sweet as the red ones. You can add steamed brocoli as vegetable.

2) Yam mash with grilled meat (boneless chicken or lamb). You don't actually need any sauce when taking grilled meat and stuff like white rice, yam mash, etc. Just have your cup of juice and you're good to go.

3) Spaghetti bolognese. I'm guessing I don't need to say much about this option. I don't know how to cook it but I'm certain it's not uncommon in Nigeria.

4) Omelet stuffed pepper (please, use sweet/red bell pepper and not your regular Jamaican hot pepper). This is a very healthy breakfast.

5) Your good old vegetable salad and mixed fruit juice.

Relax, everyone! Y'all should love each other! Wow!

I don't think your friend meant any harm. Besides, the comment section is there to be used for all sorts of feedbacks, good or bad. But then again, his choice of words aren't exactly the best. He wrote as if he was talking about some boys he met on the street and not his own students whose well-being really matters to him. Next time, let him make the message more personal (by using the kid's name and using expressions in place of single nouns). And most importantly, he shouldn't define any kid by the flaws shown within the report period (I think this is the most glaring fault here). Instead, he should make it clear the flaws are periodic too.

For example, the comment, "he is a truant" makes it seem as if you're calling the kid names. It's as if the teacher has already given up on the child. The same comment could be written as "Eric has missed classes a couple of times this term without permission and this has affected her performance negatively". It still means the same thing but significantly better. Using his name shows connection; specifying the period shows it's a moment in the kid's life and not who he is; using the expression "missed classes without permission" in place of "truant" shows respect for the kid and his parents; adding the effect of the truancy shows concern

Let's not forget parents send thier kids to school to correct these things and not just to observe them and give reports.

That bros abroad is tired of foreign games, he now wants to come Back and play local.

Like how Ahmed Musa came back to play for Local League.

Which well thinking Nigerian man will want to marry and move into his wife's house ?

There is something he is hiding from you.

Modified FTC

I dedicate this FTC to women going through emotional pains in their marriages. May God help you all.

my neighbor, just dey inflict pain on his wife and I feel very sad about it.

Nobody is ready to listen to the woman. Everybody thinks she is wrong. But na d man dey mess up big time.
I just pray she doesn't die of depression.







imagine, your 16 year old mannerless sister go dey insult ur wife and u go dey support d small girl.

some men are Cows.

Are you a man? If so, you're probably the 8th wonder of the world cause it's extremely rare if not impossible to see a man in Nigeria who is not beclouded by the prevalent sexism in the society. And if you're lady, I'd say "bon courage" (sorry, I don't know how anglophones say that).

Men are hardly ever held accountable for anything regardless of how obvious thier flaws are. Even when the woman is clearly the victim, people will still find a way to blame her while treating the man with kid gloves. It could get as low and ridiculous as using her age/physique to judge her or outrightly imagining what she could have done that no one knows about. Lol... funny but no funny.

That girl must have seen hell from her captors

And this is something to laugh about?

Sorry

When all the youth knows is how to defraud/cheat the system.

Abi dem come arrest you for house carry you go prison without any offence?

Rubbish..

This one is battling with menstrual pain this morning

You just rushed to insult without even reading the write-up.

The things that have become jokes in Africa are just scary.

DEMZEE:
I for one don't believe women build, they just move in.

Women love opportunistically and can never love unconditionally. If their man doesn't provide security for them, they monkey branch to another man. That's how women love.

Women cheat
Men only have sex

Women view sex differently from men

Men only cheat if they are not providing financial security to their wife or wives
Women show love through fidelity ie no being a hoe

High value men have options and leverage

Remember everyday a girl is turning 18yrs old

Lol... it's just funny how Nigerian men claim to know everything about both genders. You even go as far as telling women more about themselves. There's no kind of logic you guys will not bring up to make cheating on the men's side seem okay.

But then, do you know why it's called cheating? It's not majorly about the se.x. It's more about the lies. It's called cheating cause you both agreed to be sexually exclusive and you go behind to breach that. The moment you falsely claim she's the only one you're sleeping with, you're cheating and such lies make you not be trust worthy. Tell me, what then is a relationship without trust? This has nothing to do with gender and it definitely has nothing to do with whether you've got emotional connection with the person you're sleeping with or not. Looking into the eyes of someone you claim to love and lying through your teeth is bad enough.

If se.x is appealing to you, it also appealing to other genders. And regardless of how anybody loves you, they'd always see someone they'd fancy sleeping with. It doesn't mean they don't love you anymore, it's just natural. If they're obliged not to give in to that desire, I don't see any logical reason why you should.

Anyway, I was just passing and decided to drop my opinion. Enjoy your day sir.

Obvious reasons known to me

Lol... that part got me.

I think religion is becoming more systematic than spiritual.

Ammishaddai:
It is left for her to dispute the allegations, abi?

Stop justifying what is wrong. You don't just accuse people without any evidence.

Enjoy your day.

Ammishaddai:
I too will ask you a similar question : did she disclose how she became a millionaire?

She didn't. I don't understand how that makes it ok for you to just come up with allegations and start pushing them as if they were facts.

G - Great
U - Unexpected
N - Nut

Ammishaddai:
When you sleep your way to the top, you can be a millionaire at 12 (if you have the right physique)

Where you there when she was sleeping her way to the top?

Talking back? The "back" in that expression means you've already said things to her that she doesn't like and you just want her to go mute cause you have a different gender? People respond based on how you talk to them. If you talk to your woman in public as if she was a kid , she would naturally want to protect her own ego by talking back. Yes, women have ego too.

Hitting her when she's not literally your kid is unjustifiable. You're not hitting her cause she talked back at you. You're hitting her simply cause you can. If it were a much stronger or richer man, you would have comfortably controlled your anger. But then you've seen someone who's weaker and you think this one doesn't deserve to talk when you're talking. If we start hitting others anything they say what we don't like, you think anyone would be standing today?

When a rich senator slaps a poor man for making some utterances, we all gather to criticise him for using power against the weaker ones, but we somehow think it's ok to hit our spouses for the same act? How do you expect your child to see you if not as a monster? I'm sure you know it's terrible to hit someone's child and that's why you brought it here to seek validation. Please, don't let people from broken homes tell you otherwise.

SweetiliciousD:
I can understand your clear stand point and you are entitled to your opinion.

I can only speak for myself. If you tell me my product is thrash, I will open a constructive discussion with you.

Why do you think my product is "thrash"? :::::::::::::

What do you think I can do to improve or address the identified gap(s)? :::::::::::::

How in your opinion would you prefer I repackage.? :::::::::::::

Blocking or kicking you out implies shutting out improvements window and remaining "Stagnant" in an ever changing and dynamic business ecosystem.

Ask yahoo that kicked Google concept out... then. You will know better.

Indeed. Such utopia.

What you've failed to understand is that music is an art and the artist creates his own universe. There's no particular way of doing it and what appeals to you might not appeal to me. Most importantly, nobody's taste is better than others. Any consumer who doesn't understand this will always constitute a nuisance to artists and fans alike. Like I said in my post, that his song doesn't appeal to the OP is not any reason to call it trash. It's like cooking. A southerner can't go to the North, taste thier food and call it trash, and then expect to be asked "oh, how do you want us to cook it?" It just doesn't work that way. For you to give a feedback on anything, you must be a consumer of that thing. Yahoo/Google relationship is far from what is being discussed here.

The OP doesn't consume the guy's music. He just doesn't like his music and that is understandable. But going out of his way to follow him online just to call his hustle trash is just a clear attempt at making him feel bad. Moreover, it's an insult to everyone out there who likes his music cause you'd be calling all of them trash consumers. "I don't really like this work of art" is different from "this costly painting on your wall is just trash!". We should learn how to communicate and stop hiding behind some utopian principles to deliberately bring down others. There's no justification for going on his page to trash-talk his work and demarket him. Any artist can tell from a distance the kind of feedback that's worth engaging.

SweetiliciousD:
Feedback is a gift. Ask Google play store. It helps you get better.

Why harassing him with blocking threat?

OP,s statement is OK but the reaction of the recipient is now harassment?

Dear brother, that's not how to give a feedback. That his song doesn't appeal to the OP doesn't mean his song is trash. If the OP had pointed out a specific element of his song he'd like him to improve on, it would have been obvious that's someone that would like to see him get better. There's no way the statement "your song is trash" would make any musician get better cause you've not told him what's wrong with the song. It's clearly an attempt to to make him feel bad. While feedbacks are great, cutting out sources of discouragement or anything that takes away one's self confidence is even better. If his song is completely trash to you, why follow him? Are you a LAWMA employee?

Please, let's not galvanise malicious statements. If you walk into my company and tell me my product is trash, you're sure getting kicked out.

Hhmmm but why follow someone whose product you dislike? And then when he comments, you bring it here for people to criticise. I honestly don't know why people consciously aim to upset others.

Coldshisha:





No they are not.. some states in America crush cars

We really need to understand that more people die yearly as a result of violating traffic laws leading to accidents than the number of people Bokoharam kill yearly


Only stiffer penalties would deter dangerous driving that causes death of innocent people

Did you watch what you shared?

The question is not whether cars are crushed or not. The question is whether it's right to crush a car due to road offences. What you shared has to do with theft. Besides, I don't understand why Nigerians always say "in America..." while defending thier views. We all know the US isn't perfect but we're always quick to use them as an example whenever what they do happens to agree with our opinion by chance.

I don't think it's sane to crush anyone's car without issuing a couple de tickets or its equivalent in terms of incidence. The western world you use as a reference does this.

Hi,

I understand you might be a startup but please, get a more convincing email. It doesn't really cost much to get a domain. While an email address doesn't necessarily match skills, it definitely indicates seriousness/dedication. And the absence of one is the first sign someone isn't registered. Now, only a very few people in diaspora would want to do such heavy projects with such a person. I could be wrong but being a 'diasporan' myself, I think I have a fair understanding of how skeptical we could be with such things.

Best of luck.

Interesting15:
The best decision I made in life was giving my life to Jesus Christ and submitting to the Lordship and government of His Kingdom.

Nice but at what age did you take this decision? I don't really think you consciously took the decision to give your life to him. From the look of things, it would appear you found yourself like this thanks to the family you were born into.

I could be wrong.

It doesn't like taking pics...

demolinka:
But I get this feeling that, say, 2 women are having a shouting match and one of them is your wife, and she is at fault, it could be extremely difficult to not take sides with her or show some solidarity at that moment. Abi...

I don't really think so. In fact, regardless of who is right, I wouldn't join my partner in fighting a fellow a lady except the lady's husband becomes aggressive. In that case, I'd be forced to protect my spouse. I think the ideal thing is to calm her down.

Calm them down and share your opinion where you're together. Having someone's back doesn't necessarily mean joining them in attacking the other party. And the keyword here is "opinion" cause no one is a perfect judge of what is wrong or right. If I'm the one having issues with someone, I'd definitely understand such a behavior from thier partner.

See how nobody's saying "fear men"? Extend that courtesy to women when the culprit is a lady too. Attack the individual and not the gender.

Dude, enter the kitchen and cook what you want to eat.

He was at work. This is not Nigeria where people look down on you based on what you do cause everyone does one thing or the other with their free time to earn extra cash.
