Who am i to complain if their culture permit it

Is there a culture against it

I still don't get it. Was it his so called prophecy that made Buhari to win Y does he usually refer to it as if dat made him a hero or smth. Anybody can predict and win, dats wht nairabet is all about. Lai Mohammed said Buhari will win, should we now worship him too

Quakertellicus1:


Once upon a time there was a Nigerian athlete who was getting $2000 monthly from her government, and she was expected to use that money to transport herself to meets and pay her coaches.

Now said Nigerian athlete was based in a European country where her mates were getting $24000 monthly from their government and had free coach plus two physios to book.

Of course, Nigerian athlete changed citizenship.

And we also had a male athlete who changed citizenship one year....and the next turned up at the National Stadium at Surulere with a cool 4WD.(Which he could not afford when he was a Nigerian. And he eventually won a Olympic silver medal).

I am not defending Buhari. But these two tales happened long before PMB or even GEJ took over. Poor funding of track and field athletics did not start yesterday. Add the fact that most of our sport associations are run poorly (and often by the same old corrupt bureaucrats).

You expect PMB to find money for these athletes? When GEJ could not find money for them with high oil price?

The problem is that in Nigeria....athletics needs money. Lots of it. And I doubt AFN would be giving any athlete 20000USD a month in a country where people are lucky to see 400 USD monthly.

Anyway.....private sponsorship is the way froward. Govt does not have the cash.

Good and analysis and well spoken. Now two questions for u... Was there a time where athletes had to go begging for alms online to participate in olympics before? Where's the change you voted for if things are been done as usual?

You know your major problem? Your understanding of God is fundamentally wrong...I do not blame you for this actually, because many people in our world today, especially we Christians ( Muslims totally excluded) think the existence and might of God revolves around Miracle. We have taken it too far that we have even subsitituted magic for miracle. The gospel of Christ and the crusade of the affirmation of the existence of God does not start or end with Miracles. But then, the compilers of the Deeds, sayings and teachings of Christ should take a share of the blame. They over-emphasized the miracle of Jesus more than his teachings and Sayings.

Islam on the other hand played down on the miracles of God or the sophistication of the medium ( Mohammad) but rather focused on the need to know the purpose of human existence as decreed by the creator.

My HardMirror.....miracle does not determine the existence of God..........it was only a means to an end used by his prophet never the end in itself. Afterall, satan; God's creation can also perform miracle.

My friend I know you grew up with the teaching of miracle, your belief of God's existence was the constant renewal means of your supposed faith in God. But my friend it is not right, you were wrong.

You know one thing God chooses to do whatever he wills, deciding not to do anything at all is also a classic character of God.

Let me give you my little understanding about life based on my experience in this life in my 30 yrs of living. Life is a program, of which God is the programmer ( The reason why he sees the end from the beginning)...

He has written the program ( more or less a script) with choices of "If".....He concluded the program long before he decided to run the program i.e creating the world. whatever happens in the program ahd been pre-planned. My brother stop fighting what you know little about. It is an exercise in futility.
Do not get me wrong, we are expected to keep learning about creations, existence, humanity, natural and supernatural, but the fundamentals has to be right.

Now that's a perfect response! The more reason I cherish the JW teaching concerning miracles. We saw a blind man and lead him to God with the sole aim of receiving his lost sight, what happened with building a relationship btw him and his creator first. After few years of trying, the blind man returns and says God doesn't not exist, one who he never truly believed in. Christians tend to see God as a commodity to be used, dats y we keep getting disappointed when our selfish aims aren't met.

Nigerian journalism sha! Name was withheld but the name of the ministry where he presides was boldly written!

Since name checkers associations have a lot in common, why not come together and form a common front, join forces to achieve something positive.

Outside this country, you are a Nigerian, not Igbo or Yoruba.

Tribalism can't take us anywhere.

See dem! A yoruba is involved now and they've suddenly turn anti-tribalism crusaders. If it was chinedu now, they all become NCAN members

Since we just employed a foreign coach, can we pls try a foreign president too...Heard Cameron is now or will soon be free and available

What kind of backward thinking is that
As a christian i may choose to get married to a muslim, my parents does not have the right to choose for me.

Today i decide not to go to church, my sisters and mum are went. ..but they can't force me cos I'm an adult.

Your parents can't disown u.. they're just forming threat


Well i like my kind of person, u can't force me to drink water wen i don't want to

Dats the point...U are an adult, maybe he/she is not! Till he/she becomes one, he has to play by the rules.

Raydos:
someone that doesn't believe God exists! when will this man stop drinking ogogoro!

And everyone must believe God exist! Because he's an atheist, u consider is reasoning not valuable or of importance. Smh at ur ignorance

Zico5:
Haba, u have already introduced tribalism. Must u people fight and argue over everything, must everything comes from ur tribe. For instance, go to zenith and diamond banks that belong to igbo, most of their managers are igbo. Have u ever seen anyone complaining. This is too bad my friend. This kind of nature will never lead us anywhere as a country.

I tire oo my brother, at AIICO insurance whr I work, 95 percent of Agency and Unit managers are Igbo but that doesn't matter since we are productive. The first point of research by the OP should be how many people of other tribes are in Full time ministry under Rccg and cite situations where someone qualified for the post of Regional head has been denied it simply because of his tribe. Without that, I don't even see aa basis of right or wrong,

What's more ceremonial than PMB as the Petroleum Minister?

Dear, the way u wail these days makes wailing so enviable. Keep it up!

Best form of sitting arrangement. I actually had no choice while in school, we were just 14 in my class.

But married people should always try to avoid controversial stuffs like this na.

If you were his wife, will you be happy to see him pose like that?

But they are not the wife...EOD!

In the end, he/she is a Nigerian! Not a southerner nor easterner, Not an Igbo nor Yoruba.
P.S: Outside the four walls of NL(pun intended), tribe is irrelevant

sammily:
Please I want people to help me out here. I proposed to my girlfriend of 8 months last 2 week ago and we agreed to visit her home last Sunday. I have always dropped her off around the place but I have never entered the house because I wasn't yet ready to meet the parent because we were just dating then and I wasn't yet sure that she was the one for me. Meanwhile all these while, My girl was only referring to her mum so I subconsciously concluded that the father is late. So last Sunday, I got to their house at Agege pen Cinema and what I saw was very sad. I saw a man looking so haggard in the sitting room and I greeted him, He answered in a very low tone and welcomed me. My girls mum soon came out to the sitting room and also greeted me. We exchanged pleasantries before my girl came out to join us in the discuss. At a point my girls mum brought out money and asked the haggard man to go and buy fuel to power the generator for me so that Heat will not disturb me.

We discussed at length after the man left. To cut the long story short, After the meeting we fixed another date for the second meeting that I was supposed to attend with a family member. When I was about leaving, I gave them some money and some to the man and he fell on his knees thanking me as if he has never owned N1000 in his entire life. When my girl was seeing me off, I asked her who the man was and lo and behold, it was her father. I couldn't believe my ears. it was like a rude joke. it was unbelievable. She must has sensed my confusion before she started telling me stories of how the man maltreated her mum when he had money, how he married another wife who squandered all his money and left them in penury. She said he used to beat her mum and all sorts which I cannot write here.

Since that Sunday till now, I've had no peace of mind, I've been thinking and imagining how a right thinking woman and her daughter can comfortably relegate the man of the house to a mere houseboy. That Sunday, the man was wearing a torn knicker and a white singlet that I won't even use to clean my car. Even my wife to be hushed him down when he came back and wanted to keep the fuel change to himself. Something is wrong somewhere, a woman who could treat her husband like this no matter what he did in the past is scary. I have not even picked her calls since that Sunday evening. I am scared and I don't know what to do next.

IMO, u got it all wrong from the start. U dated a lady for eight months to the point u proposed to her and u didn't for once ask about her background(Parents for that matter). U just assumed the dad was late. Broken engagement is better than future stories that touch the heart. The lady already has a mindset of men are not trustworthy and she will lack the forgiving spirit. Obviously not the marriage type!

SONofYORUBA:


You must be ignorant if you think every Yoruba bearing username is owned by a Yoruba. Why modath's post is paining all you cave dwellers is what I've yet to understand.

No point dragging issue with a FOOL, he will pull you down to his level and eventually beat you with experience! #bouncewithpride

SONofYORUBA:


But it's only you Ibis that looks down on other peoples culture. She's right to point it out.

You well so bros Even me that's not Yoruba know he's yoruba through the moniker. When did foladara become Igbo

Please nairalanders, I need your advice. I got admission to study in one of Nigeria's federal universities in 2014/2015 academic session and I had 4.06 as my cgpa without carryover. My problem started after part one when I couldn't pay my school fee for part 2. I went to my hod to defer my program but he said I must do registration before I could defer. I was helpless. All the people that promised to help me financially disappointed me. It got to a point that I was considering coming to nairaland maybe I could find help but due to the attitude of some nairalanders towards people looking for help, i couldn't come. After 3months of attending lectures in school without doing registration, I left the school in tears. My mates are now in part 3 but the reason why I'm confused now is maybe I can still go and pay for my school fee and do my registration so that I can continue from part two or have I been expelled because I couldn't do my registration? Please nairalanders how does this thing work in Nigeria federal universities? Mods please I solicit for your help. I need this info so that I can aggressively look for the money before we resume in the next two months. Thanks

Well, where I finished from...Failure to pay a session's fees before the close of registration process means voluntary withdrawal from the school. Maybe you should give the name of the school, who knows someone here may have a better info about how things are done there.

From the chart you posted , going by your analogy,. CAR , Nigeria and Sudan are more peaceful than Mexico .
Lol...

And how exactly is dat funny Are u expecting Mexico to be safer than those countries or what

No offense bro! If your story is actually true, please accept my deepest sympathy. On the other hand, with your English and sentence construction, I don't think you've positioned yourself properly for competition in the labour market and you need to work on your saving habit too. Moreso, avoid undertaking many projects at the same time without proper planning.

Non of the above. Latest much affordable high-end Toyota brands offer me every modern feature that I need in a Car/Jeep, plus class and respect. Instead of forming class by buying Range or Bugatti, I'll rather use the excess money to start businesses that would em ploy the unemployed or help the less privileged; this attracts more reward.

they ve come...no one is telling u to buy any now, just pick any of d TWO u like. Person wey no get work fit afford car b4 Spare us those less privileged charity stuff
