Wow!!!
Man and his cunning ways!! See the way you eased your conscience with "sweet" definitions.


*@topic: the reason is, "we" have been lied to by "our world" that "body no be wood", or"no be only egusi soup man dey wack", such that whoever proves to go contrary to this "erroneous norm" is seen as someone from mars!

Mubby4luv: Nl. a zoo filled with idiots. anyways @topic da woman at the right looks irritated

davidylan: This thread is an agglomeration of people who are simply here by accident of birth. If anyone of us were to be unfortunate to have been born dirt poor in nigeria i wonder if your tone here would be different. People beg in nigeria simply because it is a country where more than 70% live on less than $1 a day... that is a country where more than 75% are living in sheer poverty. Sometimes people beg, not because it is an ingrained culture but because they HAVE to do so to survive. When i was growing up, there were times when my folks were so hard up it was painful to watch my proud mother have to ask people beneath her for some extra cash to tide her young kids through. Did she want to? No... but sometimes condition forces you to do things you would never wish to. thank God for mercies, grace and hardwork... you look back on days like that and you cannot but say thank you to everyone who was kind enough to spare a little change here and there to keep us going until the good times smiled on us again.

Feel free to say no and be principled about it... i do all the time. Coming online to laugh at the unfortunate circumstance of others is not fair.

Lets be honest, many here are financially not much better than the people they sneer at. It is easier to survive here because there are government benefits to lean on in hard times, there are credit cards to tide you over until the next month, food is dirt cheap... i try not to laugh at those who beg today... who knows, you might just be the one needing their help tomorrow. As they say, no condition is permanent.

djustice: I advocate the public lynching of PHCN workers, if this threat is carried out. How many of them are there? Are they more than the rest of us? WETIN SEF? Must we be held to ransom just because of their stupidity and wickedness? Make dem disrupt am na, make we see. Idiots and nincompoops. Na now dem go know say naija don change!!!

amyg: I pray 2 God I don't marry a PHCN staff(d heavy curses on dem ll affect my children).power holding company-living up 2 dr name.we suffer 4 d friction btw dem nd d Govt.

grafikii: Why can't the govt just pay these guys, is the government not making money from sale of the phcn?

agoha_vivi: A thread on this issue came on front page previously and to my surprise a lot of people supported the governors actions. How come he never realised PHCN was a disappointment till his village was affected? Its not a surprise, after all the government house runs on generator generated power so he wouldn't be bothered how others cope. I can't imagine why a so called governor would flog a full grown man like himself to bits. Even if it where his son, that's taking laws into his hands? If he had performed so well as a governor why haven't we heard his praises? Sometime ago a governors convoy slapped a mother taking her kids to school and nothing happened later this same governor got his assistant to beat up a reverend priest and this led to him loosing a second term in office. Being a governor puts no man above the law neither does it create a state of being supernatural. I bet development in his state is below mediocrity yet he'll lash at anyone who to his estimation, isn't performing. Kettle calling the pot black.
