If they didn't do you think they'll invite them to come and perform?
Last Last was nominated for a Grammy, Rema went to Number 1 on billboards and Tems just won a Grammy. If the Americans didn't understand, how did they manage those achievements?

No, they do not understand the lyrics yet they enjoy and love it because music is by itself, a universal language. It doesn't need to be understood to be loved. Sean Paul hit big in America yet they didn't understand his Jamaican patois. Brenda was an international hit maker yet no one understood her language. Music is meant to be felt and language has no power over it

I'm in imo state right now and I'd say for a fact, the support Obi gets from here isn't upto that which he gets from Plateau state. Almost every car, taxi, keke, etc., Carry the LP party sticker. Lalong has long been a sell out and the plateau people only just had their eyes opened for them by his misdeèds. You should see that man's village; can't boast of a borehole. All he does is say "yes massa" and whip.

This shit has iLegend written all over it😆. Happy New year baba. Na now I remember say e Don Tey wen I last see you post your kitchen for nairaland. I'd still prefer that you use the old moniker sha

I used to be very bad at pleasantries. Like I literally take a break to process it before giving an answer. Worse is when they use Hausa or my native language (I'm mhiship from Plateau state). Most times I ended up saying incoherent words since no one ever waits 5 seconds for you to answer their greetings. It's not that bad now tho.
Sorry about what you're going through @ op

chatinent:
My good friend, the case is very human. Next thing, you go enter market begin operate for any newly-disposed refuse. Don't feel bad, there's nothing new about it. Good friend, next, you don dey solve Pythagoras with Bodmas inside hot sun. It may feel like the clothes are itchy, you don comot am off. Don't be alarmed: senior man needs cool breeze. Next, common goat wey dey waka en own you go begin quarrel am say "even if you have HND, why threaten me with handout! Why would you..like ogini mere! No! I won't take that. Nkem wu Nkem"...goat wey dey in disbelief for seeing an animal with tail in the front for the first time for en life. Aluta continua bro! On seven market days, my good friend, trekking don bi your talent, slippers go comot your leg, and otilor.


Sincerely yours, good friend,

Petrol is set to hit ₦500 per litre.

You gotta be wise

Set to you said? 'Cos over here where I stay in imo state it was 550 at the station as of last week Saturday when I last checked. We're in trouble as it is

Papa roasted corn will never show up. He has nothing to offer Nigerians, no real aspiration and drive. Emi lokan indeed

nairalander2020:
if you come go outside jos u go think say na free food

True. I and 2 others visited a local eatery at my village chip last year cos I was carrying out a project there. A plate of jollof rice and beans was 150. Plus the goat meat served, 250. And I'm talking about a sizeable portion of meat. I was shocked when the woman told me the price.

Sheistoopretty:
Men are known for doing this

Similar encounter happened to a very good neighbor of mine here in Abuja

Take heart dear

So the 15 year old girl that did this is a male abi?
Do you know how many little boys go through the same ordeal in the hands of so called 'aunty'? This shit goes both ways. Don't bring gender prejudice into this matter abeg

Sorry to say, but if I see man dress like woman dey waka, I go mind my business jejely. It's his life. I no dey feed am, no be me born am, so why harass am?

Beans

Tuwo and kuka soup

Chairman abeg what's the update on hercules. Did lexis take in?

Dumb ass journalism. The first paragraph is too misleading. Zulum launched this query through the state's auditor to know those ministries that couldn't account for their expenditures and this nonsense is making it look as if he's the one under probe

kelvin1191:
First you need a geophysical survey. It will determine the depth of the aquifer. It cost 20k for manual and about 50k for digital survey in my location (Makurdi, Benue State)

Drilling (Indian rigs)
Punching and casing is 10k-11k per meter here since disel rose to 700 per liter. It used to be 7k per meter December last year.

Another to consider is " manual, electric or solar"
The dept and the well flow rate will determine the size of pump to install.

Your best bet will be a manual pump as 400k won't be enough for electric

Please what do you mean by manual survey and digital geophysical survey. 'Cause if by manual, you mean Rod dousing, then I'm at loss for words for that 20k. Plus there's nothing scientific about that method.

There's been some serious increase in drilling price since the beginning of this year and one wouldn't blame the geologists or drillers. The government is to blame for this shit. Now, people are scared to drill boreholes so they have resorted to Wells instead.

No where wey buhari no touch

If this isn't the best thing I've seen on nairaland this morning . Exporting wickedness a vawulence in tear rubber condition

Lol. To think 6 mangoes go for 50 Naira where I'm at

The best thing to have happened to the Nigerian airforce in the last few decades. May he replicate same in Bauchi state

CastingCrowns:
Ever Modest

Probably the most beautiful I've seen on this thread so far. Total 10/10

That's some 'ol bullshit. I got slapped with that on my profile yesterday. I mean, pourquoi?

Almost every fierce looking igbo man is a suspected Ipob member, and when caught, no one ever swings into action to investigate if it's true or not. You only hear the they're in prison, no trial, nothing. SE don suffer for this Nigeria. Mbok make I go sleep. Make una wake me up when Nigeria don better. Allah ye taimake mu, Amin!

BKayy:

Not everybody kill and eat python.
Since the OP said "sit at home" then it means that it was most probably in Igboland and more than 80% of Ndigbo don't kill or eat python.
Besides the title of thread clearly said "saved"

This is one of the things wrong with this forum and as well as Nigerians in general. If Nigerians ever considered Ndigbo as part of their country or this forum know anything about Igbo people, any time stories with pics of cooked python grace front page, they must include "GRAPHICS" as a way of warning Igbo people that might visit it.

But as Usual, Nigerians keep proving that they know absolutely NOTHING about Ndigbo

You'll just open the mouth waaaaaa as if you want to make sense. Why do I have to know about other tribes' culture and tradition? Fine, you, What do you know about other people's tribal customs and traditions? What do you know about the yorubas? About the itshekiris, Shuwa, Ngas, Nupe, hausa? What do you know about the tribes in Benue? About those in Adamawa, Taraba, Cross River, Plateau and Delta state? What? The sun doesn't rise and set on anybody's ass. Don't expect anybody to know or love your tribe. What should matter is what your tribe, it's customs, traditions and values mean to you

MASTAkiLLAh:
If you know the capabilities of the Nigerian police (yes) in tracking down criminals, you'll wonder why these people or any of the various other "bandits" groups haven't been caught yet in a sting operation.

True. The Nigerian Police has a high level intelligence service capable of infiltrating and disecting any armed sect, but we all know tha politics is the bane.

Broveens42:


Forget story. They are approximately same.. not like that type of 'small' tag on south east.
Imo state is one hell of a big state. Can you exhaust all the corners of okigwe?

Approximately thesame? You have no idea. I've lived in imo for years now. I've been to Anambra, Rivers, ebonyi and Enugu. SE will only look big to those who have never been to the north before.

Broveens42:
I'm happy the lies about south east being small have been bursted.
Many people who know owerri west will agree with me that half of it's land have not even been touched.

Wait o. Is the SE not small before? Lekwé gi o. Using owerri west as a yardstick. If you ever travel up north, you'll know what land mass looks like. It takes many hours to just pass through benue alone...without traffic hold up sef

This people wise sha. Dem only snap d frontage. This estate that looks like a wasteland. Only those wey know this estate go know the rubbish wey Nigerian government don carry give these person

RIP Hungerbad

Why are writing in English..
Why not use the language your forefathers use??

Did our forefathers willingly opt for English abi it was forced upon them. It was a systemic process. They knew that I order to catch up with the change brought about by the enforcer, they must align with his culture, hence the adoption of English Language, clothing style, system of administration, etc.
If we weren't robbed of most of our traditional heritage including our language, we, mostly definitely, would have prioritized Our tribal language before any other.

hucknall:
That's not true. The colonial masters came for business while
missionaries came to spread the Gospel.

Stop spreading lies.

The same gospel they used to imprison the minds of slaves. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible, but I also recognize and admit to the fact that it was used as a weapon of oppression and mind control on Africans.

Balerion:
the white men have Successfully brainwashed you

Actually, I feel pity for the dude. He's just one of millions of victims of the white man's lies. He's one of those who believe Africa's history began with colonialism.

MadamVanessa:


He was brought up in the east. There's no way you're a south east product and behave stupidly.

Abeg no dey cap here. He was born in jos, raised in jos, began his career at GBS football academy in jos, started shining when he was loaned to juth FC, jos. Even to this day, he spends a lot of time there.
Stop capping biko nnu

I wanted to reply but I don reason am. No be everybody dey alright for this Nigeria

Hubeznigeria:
If I were his superior I would have a different look at it... I believe that superior authorities should be respected and revered. But, I know what dreams can make people do. It might be he desires the office of a Colonel or a higher office hence his motive for taking the picture. I am a Christian and my Bible tells me that Faith is substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.

I remembered when I first bought my first blackberry bold 2 many many years ago (2011/2012). I had no money. The only thing I had was the kpalasa phone I was using with which I downloaded the picture of the Blackberry bold2. Every morning, I would look at it and reminded myself that I would have it and it wasn't too long, I bought the phone.

What is my point in telling this story, we all have dreams and aspirations and whenever we come close to someone or something that is a representation of the dreams we have, we barely control ourselves. That's why you see Davido's fan climb on stage just to grab and touch them. The NA should have checked his uniform to see if there's any insignia of a Colonel on it suggestive of the fact that we might want to dupe unsuspecting persons before dismissing him. Otherwise they should have encouraged him that with hardowrk and dedication to duty, he would someday grow to the rank of a Colonel and even more. My thoughts anyway. But the NA knows better than I do.

May we never be unfortunate

Spoken like a true civilian. If the dismissed soldier reads this thing you just wrote, he might even slap you himself. The army doesn't operate like you think
