Crime / Re: Couple Chained Houseboy To Death. by Noxious: 6:35pm On Aug 28, 2010 |
[/quote]BanditC: OK let's be straight here. Before anyone tries to castigate my opinion or call me names, i am a bonafide Igbo son, born and raised in Igboland. @ Bandit C: I don’t need to be from Anambra State to be disgusted by the approach you’ve chosen in reacting to such a shocking case of domestic brutality. Like all generalisations, yours is flawed and lacks any basis in truth. However, what is really horrifying is that you’ve allowed years of bitterness against people from a certain part of Nigeria becloud your sense of reasoning and fairness. Thankfully, not all Nigerians think, reason, and put forth their arguments this way. @ Topic: Sad story. One hopes that the police will prosecute this case according to the dictates of the law, and that the victims/families affected will get justice. |
Politics / Re: Most Corrupt Agf - Aandoaaaaaaaakaaa Sacked, May Be Arrested by Noxious: 4:52pm On Feb 10, 2010 |
This movie don enter Part III now now? Smart move, Jonah Goodie! Either sack Dora Akunyili too OR appoint her Health Minister. She has no business being Info Minister. Sacking her would mean you think she's a cheap heroine; making her Health Minister would mean you recognise her area of core competence and are ready to place a square peg in a square hole. We are watching. Naija for life! |

Romance / Re: Why Do Nigerian Ladies Insult Their Toasters? by Noxious: 1:47pm On Jan 16, 2010 |
@Poster: It's not a Nigerian thing and GENERALLY if you "toast" a girl wrongly anywhere in the world, you'd certainly get some humbling treatment. Let's consider this too, how about those ladies well into their late 30's? How come they don't mind the manner of approach and rarely insult their (few) 'chykers'? @Stillwater, The AMAKA etc telling horrible stories about growing up in Nigeria and having these "uncivilised" men approach them in the streets, I say you need a little schooling, and I say it with all respect. It's our culture that men approach women in streets and although I know many will misunderstand this, not considering that culture by definition is simply a people's way of life. All this talk about stalking has no meaning and makes absolutely no sense to a man who's lived all his life in Nigeria. Do we have regular, easily accessible clubs in Nigeria where people meet? Don't people use the church (as odd as it sounds) as a social meeting point? How many "average" Nigerian men get to attend weekly parties where they could meet their women in an acceptable, politically correct, social setting? We should try to separate life/tradition/convention in Europe and North America from what it is here, and the fact that our men would keep stopping complete female strangers on the road to talk to them is a CULTURE that would continue in Nigeria for a long time to come. However, how these men do the approaching should determine how the ladies respond. As has been said, if you're approached respectfully, please respond respectfully. There's nothing weak about a friendly cheerful "NO" spiced with quiet dignity (as Michelin89 would have us believe she practises, LOL). Finally, I happen to agree with Martinosi and I think the "long paragraph" was that detailed in order to sufficiently educate a greater number of people. We don't all come with the same IQ level. So stop crucifying him; you may skip the paragraph as it is not compulsory to read it. I also agree that most girls living in Nigeria (even those from other countries) can be made to compromise their emotional loyalty or otherwise be bought by undeserving men. Again, Martinosi hit the nail on the head when he said it's as a result of economic poverty and poverty of the mind (both of which are somewhat related). I don't think EVERY girl in Nigeria has a low self-esteem; that's a rather blanket statement, but MOST do. |
Romance / Re: Help My Boyfriend Is Contacting His Ex by Noxious: 12:57pm On Jan 16, 2010 |
@Poster: I am not assuming the worst but did it occur to you that if your bf is really a player and also visits Nairaland, that he might have seen this thread and then decided to tell you before you confront him? That way, he could secure peace and what you presently share, while he works out things with his ex. That's a possibility and I might be wrong. Why didn't he speak with you BEFORE going to see her? I have an idea of meetings like this between guys and their supposed ex and how purportedly rested relationships & old flames can be rekindled in an instant. Just be careful, it may not be uhuru yet! For your sake, I hope it's not as bad as I have hypothesised. |
Politics / Re: Dele Momodu Quits Column Writing by Noxious: 5:28am On Jan 09, 2010 |
I only remember that egomaniac's name because I read ThisDay occasionally but not his column. However, I was very lucky to read this last piece announcing his "retirement". I almost puked after reading the article and was going to comment and bash him when I noticed that some people had already commented "thanking Uncle Dee" for his good work! In that instant, I felt it was no use. You can imagine my happiness at reading all these now and realising that there's still some hope left for Nigeria, afterall. Never knew the guy had such wide discerning readership. Thanks NLanders! Nigeria never loss finish! |
Car Talk / Re: Aba Ingenuity-people’s Creativity Rebuilds Banned Okada In Aba To Tricycles by Noxious: 8:02pm On Dec 08, 2009 |
It's shocking to see otherwise educated people steeped so deeply in the corrosive juice of tribalism. The fact that they are probably young people too is worrying because it's a pointer that the dream of a future rancour-free Nigeria is scarcely realisable. This same ethnic bigots would hypocritically hide their true colours on social networking sites like Facebook and make a show of being detribalised by having Nigerians from every cranny on their friends' list. However, under the cover of pseudonymous posts offered here, they manifest the true darkness of their hearts. I weep for Nigeria. |

Good for them! I knew that "business model" was bound to fail! I don't even have time for them again! |
Romance / Re: I Am Afraid Of Being 30 And Still Unmarried by Noxious: 7:01am On Nov 29, 2009 |
@Poster: Any e-mail address at which you could be reached? I have a few male Nigerian friends in New York and I don't plan to tell them anything beyond that you want to network with your kith and kin . All I intend to do is introduce you casually to them. I think you'd get to meet more people by hanging out with them and their friends' friends. You can also reach me at dennis.chukwuma@yahoo.com |

Politics / Who Is Olusegun Adeniyi, Yara'adua's Spokesman? Evil Man Or Good Man Gone Bad? by Noxious: 7:03pm On Nov 28, 2009 |
I recently came across a comment on www.234next.com that made me critically think of this man who's arguably one of the best our journalism schools produced in the last 50 years. Hear the 234 poster : "Mr Olusegun Adeniyi, you said Mr president felt bad because of rumours concerning his death. Did it occur to him (or you as his spokesperson) that the reason why people are feeding on scarps is because you have starved them of information? This is the first time in two years that there has been an official disclosure of what is wrong with the president. As a one-time journalist whose profession thrives on the oxygen of information, do you think this is fair? Wouldn't it have been absurd if the rumour mill did not kick into life? What do you expect people to do? You withhold critical information from them and then lament when they fall back on their imagination. By the way, Mr Adeniyi, why have you always responded with barely concealed irritation when former colleagues have asked you questions concerning the president or his health? Are you not the same person who, a couple of years ago, railed and ranted about freedom of information? How is it that you now get indigant when people try to tease the same information out of you? Why have you stopped asking the same searching questions about governance in Nigeria now that you are now on the other side? Does it not bother you that the president of a proud country like ours will continue to travel abroad for medical examination? What does that say about the state of our health sector? Mr Olusegun Adeniyi, have you suddenly forgotten what things are like outside the villa? Is this the Verdict we have all been waiting for?" http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5487111-146/Yar'Adua_is_suffering_from_heart_condition.csp Why do the best of our social watchdogs do a 360 degrees turn or appear to do so, the instant they rise to any form of power? |
Romance / Re: How Do I Get Him To Notice Me by Noxious: 6:41pm On Nov 28, 2009 |
Stop unnecessairly insulting people and their ethnic nationalities- and then maybe he'd notice you! |

Family / Re: My Husband And Family Don't Like Each Other by Noxious: 6:24pm On May 12, 2009 |
@Pres-elect: I bin think say na only me dey find better babes for London o go dey enta wrong wrong hands like that. I wonder where all these decent Naija girls dey go hide. @Poster: All lies! @House: You all surprise me. Which Swiss woman would construct her sentences the way this "woman" did? I am not talking about grammatical accuracy nay, I am referring to the painfully obvious direct translation from a local Nigerian language (something like Igbo, Yoruba or pidgin) to English! Re-examine the thought process guys. No European woman would advance her case the way this poster did. Seun fit don give person money make im sell us another cock & bull story. Business must go on come credit crunch or somali pirates! |

People keep dying on that road daily yet nothing is done by the government. They rarely travel by road anyway. |
