NYSC / Re: #NYSCAllowance Is Trending On Twitter, And Here Is Why (See Reactions) by biggieoflife: 9:02pm On Nov 06, 2018
Ishilove:

Since you feel like asking shallow questions I will teach you wisdom. Even when fuel was 65/L people still complained of the harsh economy. We were able to make 9,500 work by augmenting our incomes with our PPA salaries and cutting costs. Your generation want to live like kings on your 19,800 allawee, forgetting that the one year programme is for training you on the realities of life.

it's not ok to dismiss the agitations of this 'generation' of corpers as mere desire to live like a king on 19,800. there are many realities of today's NYSC that you may not be able to relate with.

To start with, most corpers spend fortunes on relocation for fear (theirs and their parent's fear) of being posted to any of the crisis areas in the country. Then they have to get their own accommodation because most PPAs no longer provide one for their corpers.

My parents confirmed that these issues were not a problem when they were serving..so they were more willing to help me augment the 19,800 during my service year.

Not everyone wants to live like a king on allowee. the truth is that 19800 is clearly a joke given today's realities

Celebrities / Re: Family Reacts To Baba Sala’s Death Rumour! by biggieoflife: 1:07pm On Oct 09, 2018
I wonder why almost all the reports on Baba Sala's death have failed to come with pictures of him in his prime? Laziness?

Anyway, I didn't quite live in his era but I vaguely remember watching a few movies he appeared in and a particularly hilarious talkshow on which he was a guest.

Oversized and flamboyant costumes were his signature dressing.
So much so that, he became the generic name for anything xxl.
There was Baba Sala-sized bournvita, body cream, powdered milk and baba sala bread.

May his soul rest in peace.

The same old talking points. The white man also made the planet earth and all the other planets, and the sun, right. Is there anything that the white man can not do?

old but true....

Khiaa do you know that Nigerian leaders employed whites so oversee Nigerian election for them? They pay the whites heavily..

I always ask, if an outsider must oversee the election, why don't you pick someone from other African countries?

Why always the white skinned?

A school dropped out from India will come to Nigeria and become a CEO of a company simply because he's white skinned while the Nigerian who had PhD will work under the white skinned mothafucker..


THE WHITES ARE INDIRECTLY RULING NIGERIA.. NIGERIA CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CONSULTING THE WHITES..

WHEN PEOPLE CELEBRATE NIGERIA INDEPENDENT I TELL THEM NIGERIA ISNT INDEPENDENT YET..

THE WHITES ARE STILL RULING

you are typing on a white man's device, in a white man's language and posting to this forum via the internet which is also a white man's invention.

You aren't independent. The whites are still ruling you.

Don't even fight it

Celebrities / Re: Kwam 1 Speaks On Ambode's Leadership Of Lagos (video) by biggieoflife: 8:28am On Sep 19, 2018
Aquariann:
Lol. Ambode's issue is not with Tinubu. Ambode's issue is with Lagos APC and even just the mandate group.

That is why Tinubu cannot impose him again this time around. Besides his abysmal performance vis-a-vis available resources, he stepped on so many toes, tried to rubbish Fashola (whom he has always deliberately failed to recognize as a Lagos ex governor), very pompous, kept a fellow SW governor waiting in his office etc..

Also, if Visionless Scape had lived up to the billing, it would have been ok that he cancelled LAWMA which puts food in the belle of thousands of party faithfuls and their families. This includes all those women we used to see early mornings adorning the Lawma's orange dress cleaning the streets. You don't expect a foreign company to know how to clean Isale Eko like the locals.

Party faithfuls were groaning but bade their time till this moment to show him something. Like Tinubu himself said, this is beyond him.

So you can't accuse Tinubu of imposition in one breathe, and in the second breathe you want him to impose Ambode on the party when he's clearly not wanted by the whole party faithfuls. If Ambode believes he has done so well like the people supporting him would want us to believe, then he shouldn't fret about the direct primaries.

you're just being mischievously idealistic. grin

this is Nigeria. most of our politicians are career politicians. primaries (whether direct or indirect) are just another payday for them (esp grassroots politicians)

the fact that you are suggesting that Tinubu will not attempt to influence party members with MONEY and his reward system is ridiculous. And you know it. grin

You know some of these over grown kids can't seem to get over their hate for this government.
He probably ate too much protein that blinded him from seeing the pens and papers.

(because I can see papers in front of them and they are taking notes).

go back to the original post. read slowly. take it real slow. see if you can locate the above quote.

then read the original post and tell us who protein has blinded between you and the OP...
