It's easier for Chelsea to win this Champions League despite their 3.0 loss to Bayern Munich last night than Man City to win it.

You posted this at 9.18am, if you did at 9.18pm, I would have assumed you were drinking something.

Manatees without sophisticated brains love humans; humans on the otherhand behave like animals, how could they do this to this lovely creature, it's like maltreating a dolphin; honestly some humans need brain reset.

So nobody can beat this Liverpoo!,

ok nau....

Gowon should stop wasting his time and God's; we all know where the real issues lie, he should be bold enough to address them, the energy used in praying should be channeled in that direction.

I told you, 'fight' that demonic monster at your own peril, the despot dullard never sees anything wrong with whatever he does and any case he's involved in.

Nice post, can't stop smiling...@OP, thanks for sharing.

It shall not be well with whoever put out this useless statement....na so dem go put out statement after their demise.

Nonsense and GMB.

First, it was the US, now, it's the EU comprising many nations....we hope the dullard and his goons, especially the liar are watching.

We would continue to tender our apologies to Nigerians for voting this grave mistake.

Focusmind:
All these comments makes some of us that wants to remain in Nigeria look insane. I had all the opportunity to leave Nigeria but just couldn't. I seems to be in charge of my affairs and life here in Nigeria.

What I did was to give citizenship to my kids by having them abroad but all of us are still in Nigeria.

I seems to be relatively ok and enjoying my consultancy job with the little freedom it offers me.

I wouldn't want to start life again. I did my masters in UK more than 10 years ago, but still came back because of family and boredom.

For now, no regret staying back in Nigeria. I believe strongly that my success and fulfilment will come here. The future is bright and the right contacts are also being made.

I remain HERE!

I think I should stop reading comments at this point.

NonEthniCITY:
After I finished my high school in 2005, I wanted to work and make money, so I was directed to a now defunct bank(Oceanic Sapele Road Branch, Benin City) to meet someone there to get a job as a janitor.

I went there and met this man, he told me my salary will be N6, 000, but I must pay him N4,000 cash before I get the job. I told him I had no money as I just finished my high school and then told him to deduct it from my first salary in that case - it was as if I insulted him by saying that. He said no way that he is going to have to give the job to someone who can pay him. That was how I didn't get that job. It changed a whole lot for me at that point.

Fast forward to about 15 years later, I landed in America with an immigrant visa. All I needed to apply for a job was a social security number (other than my visa). Started applying for different one online. I even got one without an interview - all that was needed to know was that I was legal, drug-free and able to work. That was it! No bribe, no payment of any sort.

Now, among many other injustices and harsh life the average Nigerian man and woman has to endure, tell me why I should regret leaving. Listen, I am not saying my life is perfect here, but I have a lot to be grateful for.

My only regret is not being able to bring all my family with me.

Wonderful.

sowilli:
Na person wey no get money dey complain say Nigeria Na shit hole. Whilst things are bad in Nigeria, there should be no regrets for staying back or leaving Nigeria if you really know what you are doing. A business man who does like 300 million Naira in revenue or say 2 million dollars can visit any country with no stress. It’s all about finding your vision and pursuing it.

Best comment so far....

axponline:
No regrets. Living in Atlanta is just like living in Lagos without the traffic, heat, dirt, power failure etc. Nigerian joint/beer palour plenty here. Nigerian food full ground. Redeemed Church, Winners Chapel, Mountain of Fire, Deeper Life, CAC all of them dey here.
direct flight to Lagos. If you have spare $1500 , you can go to Lagos for week-end Thursday back Sunday. Best of 2 scenarios. If you update/upgrade your skills (especially modern IT skills) (note I said skills not qualifications) , jobs that can fetch $150,000 a year plenty.

Very true.

franchasng:
If not for weather and food, no regrets.


It's the bad weather (-14 degrees Celsius during winter) and stupid meals that made me miss Nigeria when I was away.

Me I hate cold, I almost died during my first winter experience, na who send Osuofia go Moscow

Nigeria and West Africa is so blessed with the best weather on earth but cursed with the most foolish leaders and citizens

But there's more money to make in Nigeria as a legitimate entrepreneur with good business idea and capital than abroad, reason many ambitious Nigerians come back or shuttle between Naija and abroad.

Sense kee you die! Chop knuckle.

Kingpele:
Forget this guys that are hyping abroad, you will first of all Miss your loved ones, then you will feel alone and the way this whites will be looking at you, you will feel inferior to them, then the hatred of some whites, they did make u feel you messed up your country and come to their own to enjoy life, they will hate u for it and keep reminding you of it, I passed through to shit in Turkey and Kosovo but am back now and I regret ever leaving this country, make money here you can give yourself everything u need, be it light, good house, security and water then u flex like u own the town....

Very true + more you didn't mention.

Still reading comments though, would post mine after reading everyone else's.

Toks2008:
Don't you know that one the reasons young ladies cry of heartbreak is because they get involved with men too young to know what they really want?

Yes in some cases it is not about age but the truth is that age gap is a great factor.

A lady can be older than her man don't get me wrong and love is not about age but understanding and connection but nevertheless it is better for a young girl in her adult teens or early 20s to be with a man that is at least 8 or 10years older..
Why?

1. In most cases, the guy will adore her like a kid sis and will cope with her nastiness compared to a younger guy who is just about her age.

2. By the time the lady is in her mid 20s the guy is probably ready to take her home if she proves to be a good lady.

3. A 30 year old guy dating a 20 or 22year old lady will likely be stable enough financially, psychologically...to support the lady.

4. Ladies love to be pampered and they can get that easily from a guy who is quite older and not their peers that are probably still as childish as them.

5. Guys naturally get the kick when they know a girl is very younger than them and this spark will continue for a long time at least I am a testimony to this...

I can go on and on listing the benefits and guess what; the reason why ladies fall for married men easily is because married men are so mature mentally and they sure know how to take care of a woman and unfortunately ladies are wired to love a man that takes good care of them regardless of his marital status but the good thing is that girls experience same care from men who are considerably older than them.

My advise to adult teenage girls and those in their 20s is that they meticulously choose a guy who is at least 7 to 10years older or even more if they truly want to enjoy bliss.

This is my personal opinion and I think lalasticlala should consider this for front page so that young ladies can benefit from this no holds barr expose.

You made sense die, only myopic and insular minds would not fathom out what you just wrote.

Thumbs up.

TroubleMaker47:
The truth is, Amnesty either for ND militants or Boko haram should never have been!
There is absolutely no justification for forgiving criminals and paying them or catering for there welfare regardless of the cause they claim to be fighting for!
Late Umaru Yar Ardua set a bad precedent by granting amnesty to terrorists with the name MEND. Today BH are asking for the same.
Afterall they are both intricately intertwined
They both fought for a cause!
They both threatened the goverment!
They both employed violence
They both caused the goverment loss of lives and properties!
So yes WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GEESE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER!
AMNESTY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN, BUT HERE WE ARE!!!


N/B; Honestly I'm tired of explaining my stand to every ignorant person that quotes me so i might as well do it here.
No matter how honourable a cause may seem to be by the propagators, THE MOMENT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE STATE IS INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE, IT IS NO LONGER AN AGITATION BUT AN ACT OF TERRORISM! THAT IS just how every government works!
MEND employed violence against the Nigerian state for their "honourable cause" hence in the eyes of every reasonable goverment, THEY ARE TERRORISTS!
REMEMBER HENRY OKAH?
Just like the #BlackLivesMatter movement in USA, their cause is very honourable but what do you think would have happened if they took up arms and started attacking the US Govt? THEY WOULD BE FLUSHED and tried under the terrorism act. The law wouldn't look at the cause anymore but the meduim employed in fighting the cause!
As unpleasant as it may seem even to me, MEND was a terrorist organisation and the Nigerian govt set a bad precedent by granting them amnesty!

What cause is BH fighting?

Yankiss:
Who wins? Like for Man City Share for West Ham.

West Ham, beat my City at home? Ludicrous

Big thanks to ATM but funny thing is I like Liverpoo! but never over my City anyway.

Tonight's result is not the real thing, the much anticipated loss in EPL is, especially if it's at Anfield, question is, who will perform the magic?....well, we are watching....

@OP: Very simple solution.

Work the kids to bed before 12am, once they are asleep, hang around your home until you see him come in, step in 5mins after with a somewhat reasonable explanation in mind, do this for a couple of days and observe him turn a new leaf.

Hope the NSA wrote his resignation letter before this audacious move?

Blindersoff:
Here is the Daughter of Sheikh Zakzaky, head of the Iranian-backed Islamic Movement of Nigeria, pictured in Iran next to the daughter of the late Qassim Soleimani, former head of IRGC Quds Force

The reach of the Islamic Revolution stretches way beyond the Middle East.

Both were attending an annual “global resistance front” conference in Qom, which included speeches by senior IRGC commanders. The motto of this conference:

“The expulsion of the US is the prelude to the destruction of Israel and the death of the Deal of Century”

https://mobile.twitter.com/KasraAarabi/status/1227542402862329856

Which kain wahala be dis nau, this girl should have at least allowed the US upturn the travel ban on Nigeria before attending this kind of conference. Now she's dipping our people more into the murky waters.

Reptyle:
Everyone is taking this woman's word for it on the basis that her relatives were on the train and saw the Minister's convoy running away.

Since she doesn't have any documentary evidence of this situation, is there a chance she could be lying.

Or are we just to take her words because we do not like Amaechi and Buhari?

When you cry " Wolf, wolf, wolf" always, when there's no wolf, nobody will believe you the day a real wolf appears.

When you tell lies always, nobody will believe you even if you are saying the truth.

So sad but why can't they be rehabilitated after spending some time in a correctional centre and then drafted into the Nigeria Police Force afterwards; afterall, what is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

This is one of the most hilarious and entertaining threads I have come across on Nairaland, I can't help but keep laughing

@OP: No worries, you didn't goof, life is in stages, just like your first experience, you will look back in 10 years time and laugh at yourself for some incidences that scare you today.

Thanks for dishing out the fun.

commodore007:
man city's reaction to this challenge might make break this club.....

Juventus had a similar experience in 2006, did the club go into extinction?

ifymadu:
How will they admit? Do you want bubu to sack the chief of air staff for killing his kinsmen?

Lol....

Na wa o, to accept some kin government appointment now na walaha.....unfortunately, the person wey appoint you no dey capable to save you....may God's protection be upon him.

Caseless:
The question you should ask is, how much does it cost to put a good building up in that area of Lagos? 400m will give him a befitting structure in that area.

He's a big time businessman (who owns Emilinks); people like him think differently and must have had his reasons for staying there; probably to make a statement to his business associates or for just about any reason personally known to him.

It's like asking someone who bought a Bentley or Rolls Royce why he made the purchase when a Toyota or Nissan can take him from point A to B.

He must have spent just about N400M over the 6-year period, that's about $1.4M considering exchange rate fluctuations. That's chicken change to a Billionaire with constant inflow of money.

Eko Hotel should have done better than this, you don't treat such a high networth individual like that; what kind of message do they think they are passing across to other potential wealthy guests?

...once Abba Kyari is on your case, forget it, you are gone.

We read she's Fulani, hope she won't be released on the grounds of repentance and rehabilitation.....
