I havent seen the series.

But most movies that are coverted to series are thrash.

Blade Series for example. Is thrashest trash.

If u wanna watch a series. Watch a normal series, not the one a movie was converted into.

The day they make Fast and Furious to a series, it becomes trash. And its because storylines n connections never flows with the original.

I've learnt my lesson.
I was just increasingly gutted at the show I progressed in it. I was hoping it'd get better along the line but omo, they just worsened it.

I opened this thread about Resident Evil series because I don't know where to rant or pour out my feelings about the series.

I just finished the 8 episode of season 1 and to say that I'm put off is to say the least. Gosh!

I was searching through a movie channel on telegram earlier this week and I stumbled on it. I was like thrilled at it cos I knew how Resident Evil (the movie) was thrilling for me. I mean, I've seen all the Resident Evil movies and even played the game. So, I thought this should be an interesting one. I was curious not knowing what I'm in for.

After the first two episode, I was already being put off. I checked the review saw it has a very low review and they're considering ditching the second season.

I tell you, I'm more than displeased with the serie. The acting, the story, how it connects, it's just way below my expectation.

If you've seen the serie, please air your view and if you have a better serie, please suggest

I think it's dependent on what got him angry.
Anger is triggered by something. Find out what that thing is and you'll know to deal with his anger.

You are VERY WRONG.

Ijaws and Akwa Ibom people are not Fair Complexioned in any Way...

The Major Tribes in Nigeria renowned for Light Complexion is..
Igbos
Some Ishan in Edo state.
Some Ondo Yorubas...

They must have gotten their Light skin from a Common Ancestor who must have been a Whiteman

Well, you're wrong on the part of Akwa Ibom. There are fair Akwa Ibom and dark ones too.
At least, I live in one of their villages for a year so, I know what I'm saying.
Some of these people even have coloured eyes like the foreigners.
My conclusion is as stated earlier by someone that their forebears had part of the white's genes as a result of sexual relation between them and the whites. Be it rape of marriage.

To add to it, this Akwa Ibom is one the entry point if not the first entry these Europeans took when coming into Nigeria. Their old houses are still even there. So, they have their numbers there and I'm sure there were illicit sexual relations too with the villagers around.

Wittyglam:
you will be shocked how some people think.

I'm already shocked with what I've read.
Not everyone is normal and our modern society help them thrive.

Some of you do the most unhealthy things all in the name of fetish.

How can you enjoy peeing in someone’s mouth all in the name of fetish?

How can you enjoy choking a person during sex all in the name of fetish? (They can die you know)

How can you enjoy eating someone’s foot?

How can you enjoy pooping in someone’s mouth all in the name of fetish? This is the worst but wait,

You guys suck women period too? What can of crazy fetish do you have? Some of you need to go for checkup and I’m damn serious.

See how I'm cringing reading this madness called fetish.
Indeed many people are mad, they just show it in different ways.

anonymous1759:

Some people will start crying now but when Nigeria receives aid from the likes of USA and Uk you don’t hear them wail . This is no issue . The only issue I’ve is that The FG should step up security things are really bad .

You're probably living outside of the country or you just choose to be funny.
FG should step up security and yet they are buying vehicles that doesn't even have anything to do with security for a country whose economy is on the rise and not in as much security issues as our country and you see nothing about that
ASUU is on strike for about 6 months now and you think our next priority is to buy luxury cars in the name of tackling insecurity for a neighboring nation.
I am baffled at your comment.

Begoodtoothers:
Though I'm very Obident, I've got issues with establishing state police under the control of governors. An incumbent governor will use it to oppress and harass the opposition. Imagine a Shettima in charge of State Police for his State. Hisbah is abusive in the North, Amotekun has had some unnecessary clashes and Ebubeagu was accused of killing some youths in Imo state.

There has to be checks and balances on governors in regards to this state police issues

Good observation.
I, however, think it wouldn't be an issue.
Come to think of it, are there no checks and balances for federal policing?
But are they not used by some high calibre persons for their personal motives?
Citing the case against Tinubu for instance where the law empowers the police to investigate and as the case may be arrest anyone that is suspected to have committed a crime. But the IG is refusing to do anything to investigate the things brought against Tinubu even with supposed evidence.
So you see, even with checks and balances, people can still use them for themselves. Remember the recent brouhaha with Burna boy.
Much more, I think state policing will help more than federal policing in this current Nigeria we are in.

Why can't we just give North their own country? Let these people go Nah.

They will NEVER agree to be on their own.
In 1966, the mutiny northern soldiers suggested their own country but alas when the British analysed to them that they'd suffer and particularly that they have no port, it'll drastically affect them economically, their leaders dumped the idea quickly.
They won't agree to severing Nigeria, not when they know they'd so suffer. Wonder why they're the majority in the Federal Government?

I can't imagine the fan base of Man U and Arsenal should our money bags buy them over.

NPFL is not a league but a "jeun jeun" competition.

Don't let them talk you down in venturing into the business,
Thats is how they discouraged me when I first buy my bus in 2017, but I indure all & I win in knowledge and profit plus values in the business3, now most of my friends have Bought 2-3 bus because of my courage and values in vanagon business.

Don't just be fast in quitting due to problem either from driver or the bus maintenance.

I'd like to learn your experience. Can I pm?

Yusufisraelj:


Lols, it depends @Stacy

So many grounds to clear, from integrity, establishing a place of understanding, knowing your expectations and chances to take risk.

I think it's a talk outside this platform and I'd rather show you how to go about your investment in the transportation sector than handle it directly except if a place of thorough understanding and legal backing is clear.

Could you show me too. I'm seriously considering the transport sector.

Yusufisraelj:


Transportation business is very lucrative, having done one before. It earns you money daily.

However your location (place of business) should inform your returns. In the North it's 20K per week, extreme cases 35K per week for town service but in Lagos its almost twice for a small 14 seater bus, maintenance cost should be on the driver, except for Major changes like engine...


Having said that, the main challenge is finding a reliable driver who would maintain and remit as agreed. So I will advise that you buy the vehicle, do clearance, get it road worthy and up the vehicle for a premium I.e if you spent 1 million for everything, bargain for 1.7 Million in return for a period of 1 year on the driver, this way he pays about 33K weekly for a year and the vehicle turns his. That way he sees the vehicle as his and treats it with extra care, while you make a 70% profit on the business far above 13.4% the inflammation rate in the country.

More importantly is the type of vehicle you purchase, 700K should get you a clean tokumbo with perfect engine, again here you need the help of a good mechanic and auto dealer.

As per government clearance, that's cheap and easy.

You seem to know about the business very well. Are you still into it?

Menh I can't forget that fateful day I had only 50 naira in my entire life and was going to Festac town from Ijesha for an appointment.
I used 30 naira for t/fare hoping I'll be back with good news but the result is a story for another day.
I trekked in the hot sun of Lagos from Festac town down to Ijesha with my mind already spending the last 20 naira on garri,groundnut and probably sugar when I get home after the long trekking but something strange happened.
When I got to Ijesha bus stop,getting ready for the final trekking to my street which is like five kilometers from the bus stop, I saw this blind man with his daughter begging, and when I looked at d man, he looked straight to my eye and was begging for something from me.
Initially when I saw that blind man, I felt very grateful that I was a lucky guy,I felt pity and decided to move on with my 20 naira, I would av given him something but it was the last one on me.
Do you know that I ve to trek back from my street after successfully getting to my house to the bus stop just to give that same 20 naira to that blind man? Because my conscience would not let me rest from that moment I set my eye on the blind man...it was telling me, "you can do better by giving that 20naira to the blind man", I thought it was a joke until I submitted.
After that I saw myself crying unconsciously, trekking back home weak,hungry and without hope, but that's not the end of my story.

The following, someone I d never believed will help me, came to my house and took me to his place of work.... Same day, I was interviewed, same day I got my appointment letter,next day...
I started working in that company and the rest is history.

Wow! see as my hand is shaking.

faceURfront:
ASUU is a union. The union is made up of lecturers in public universities. Universities have a standard. To operate you must meet those standards irrespective of who owns the school. Some of these standards are there because the union, a pressure group, presurised FG who is the custodian of these standards to up the bar. One of such standards is funding. So whether the school is owned by the state or FG, provided it is a public tertiary institution, it must be funded by FG. These includes universities, polytecnics, monotechnics and colleges of education. That is why if you go around the country you will see facilities built by TETFUND in both Federal schools and state schools.

The schools must not necessarily be closed. But lecturers who are members of the union won't offer their services. And there is notin the owners of the school (state government) can do because the lecturers do not work for the state but for the school. For example, someone who works for Abia state ministry of agriculture will get an employment later from Abia state government. A lecturer in abia state university gets an employment letter from the governing council of Abia state University. There are labour rules the council is bound by which allows the lecturers to strike lawfully and the council gets fund for the school from FG.

Thanks for this explanation.

ASUU is the problem of education in Nigeria
By Prof. Godspower Ekuobase

This piece about academics in Nigeria may offend the arrogance of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) if ASUU is repressive or it will excite ASUU’s patriotism to bootstrap the Nigerian Academics to his pride of place in the global league of universal institutions called universities.

I write this piece to expose, as an insider, the realities of Academics in Nigeria towards rescuing the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) from the asphyxiation of ASUU and redirect ASUU to the path of patriotism.

The truth is that like Saul who later became Paul, ASUU has ignorantly become the enemy of the Nigerian State. Why and How? You may ask! Permit me begin with the answer to “the why”. ASUU pride herself as being the most educated, knowledgeable and intelligent set of Nigerians. This, obviously, is not true. I assert that education is not certification, knowledge is not qualification and intelligence is natural, it is not grammar. Even the grammar, we do not write or speak it better than others.

ASUU should be humble enough to accept that we are not paid for certificates acquired, but we are paid to do our job of teaching, impactful research and community services within and outside the university with utmost professionalism and integrity and without fear or favour. If we say the truth, every Nigerian graduate has one or more lecturers that taught him/her that he/she wondered, and is still wondering, how the lecturer got thus far, even to the peak. I mean Professors! Maybe I am one of those lecturers, but it is high time we said the truth. Besides, many of the excellent students could not come into academics because we are guilty of what we accuse FGN – nepotism and tribalism!

ASUU may say they are not responsible for promotion or employment in any university. Who then does? ASUU members of course! Vice Chancellors, Deans, Heads of Departments and Professors are not military officers, APC or PDP members but ASUU members. ASUU is only interested in collecting dues with no mechanism in place to maintain the integrity and progression of Academics in Nigeria. It is important Nigerians know that FGN does not interfere in the appointment and promotion of Academic staff in any university. ASUU should drop this pride and let us move Nigeria forward.

The second reason why ASUU ignorantly persecutes Nigerians is that they are lost in ecstasy against the Nigerian state. They have abdicated their role of clamouring for members’ welfare and have constituted themselves into a quasi-political party and self-made opposition to any government in power. Most Nigerians who are either polygamous or from polygamous home, will agree that the wife that antagonises her husband the most, get the least from her husband no matter how good or rich the man is.

Permanent Secretaries or Judges earn more than a Professor they will tell us and get us drunk with the wine of pride, adducing these categories of workers enjoy what they enjoy because they are puppets to politicians or government in power; and that ASUU will not falter its integrity and will remain the voice of the downtrodden.

Enough of this hypocrisy! At least in recent times, ASUU decides who rules this country and it is only when there are disputes, the judiciary arbitrate. When many staunch ASUU supporters discuss how they went about conniving with politicians of varying political parties to get them or their cronies installed in power, you will weep for this country.

Politicians in Nigeria, particularly, in recent times will sincerely accept in their heart of hearts that Lecturers have lost the integrity or love they profess they have for Nigerians as against the politicians or other public office holders. Is it not some of us that connive with some students to have unmerited qualifications they use to occupy these public offices? Why accuse who your members aided to power of incompetence or misrule? ASUU is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

ASUU like most trade unions should concentrate their energy on their members’ welfare – they should always come out straight with their welfare demands instead of their holier and richer than thou posture. We should be humble to say the truth, our salary is not enough not because we are better than other Nigerian workers or earn less but because of the nature of our job – even if we have all the comforts and tools to do research, we spend a fortune to get them published.

On the average, a Lecturer will require thirty to forty publications with about 1/3rd of them published with foreign currency, to be a Professor. To say the truth, a dedicated Lecturer with high integrity, which most of us are, is poor. With sustained support for any government in power, in our capacity as academics, the cooperation of other trade unions, and logical persuasions, we will get something from the government. Something is better than nothing! Do not judge us based on our packaging. We are suffering but smiling! Instead of ASUU to consistently market this truth, they have worsened the poverty of Nigerian academics by avoiding it; claiming that the Nigerian Universities are poorly equipped and citing autonomy and other smoky issues.

For the smoky issues, I will show later that ASUU is the problem and they know too. Nigerian Students! Poor salary is our problem and the genuine cause of our anger and persistent strike; not any acclaimed love for you. If we love you as claimed, why do we suspend most strikes after financial settlement from FGN. Some University Academics extort students financially and sexually and yet we claim we love the students and that we are fighting their course. What has ASUU done as a union to protect innocent students from this oppression. Absolutely Nothing! What a hypocrisy!!

Still on ASUU’s “Nollywood” love for Nigerians, is it in the interest of Nigerians, that ASUU proposed and accepted 70years retirement age for the professorial cadre? NO! It was because the Judges were given 70years. Even after 70years, some ASUU members still want to stay on contract in FGN payroll while they receive gratuity and pension. The youths have no job, the old do not want to retire and yet they claim they love Nigerians.

ASUU should explain to Nigerians why a Lecturer that became an Associate Professor at the verge of 65years should be given extra five years in service. Somebody should help me tell ASUU that it is even in our culture as Africans to have the most elderly ones among us settle our disputes. Besides, rules and discretion are two desiderata deployed in legal practice. Discretion made law an axe that requires the very experienced because of the possible intrigues of lawyers. I assert that no other human task can be as an axe as law. Greed blinded ASUU, they forgot we have other legal means of income as Part-time teaching, external examination and assessment, an Adjunct lecturer position in another University, royalties, market for our books as in most tertiary institutions, opportunity for political office outside our place of work while in service which the Judges may not have.

Legally, Judges are not allowed to romance with any political party or its members. We all saw what happened recently with one of our finest Judges in the court of Appeal because her husband has affiliation with a political party. She had to withdraw from a case in the interest of the country. Before you call me APC puppet, I did not vote for APC in both the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections, but I wholeheartedly accepted the position of the majority and the wisdom of the Judiciary. Before I digress, this singular act of envy by ASUU that claim to “love” Nigerians has contributed greatly to youth unemployment in civil service as other union began to also request for additional five years in service.

Why Nigerian civil servants were on strike for addition of five years to their retirement age, a European nation with longer life-expectancy and lower youth unemployment went on strike to reverse their retirement age that was increased by a year. I have so far exposed my conviction on why ASUU has become an enemy of the Nigerian state. The reasons are pride, greed, and lack of instrument to enforce integrity and professionalism among its members.

This lack of instrument may draw pity to ASUU as a crippled toothless tiger before its members. ASUU however relies on two unholy but potent instruments of control – propaganda and intimidation, to satisfy its pride and greed. ASUU coarse its members and their families with fear – fear of career progression and academic opportunities irrespective of their capabilities. The truth is that majority of the Lecturers in Nigerian Universities are sick and tired of the incessant strike by ASUU and the lack of innovative means of engaging government; as evident by the about 55% of its members who stood with the FGN on the deployment of IPPIS despite ASUU’s intimidation.

Some notable Professors or politically aspiring Lecturers had to hide to register with IPPIS to evade the fury of ASUU. ASUU cannot love us more than us! The UNIBEN branch of ASUU robbed me and others that subscribed to IPPIS of our Christmas rice which we contributed towards and threatened us with queries; but I trashed mine. I was insulted and promised that ASUU will work against me if I should contest or vie for position in any University. Do not fear for me! I have never and will never fear any cult. The finality of man is death and death by truth is holy and paradise assured.

If ASUU is truly democratic, they are supposed to bow to the voice of the majority. The truth on the IPPIS issue is, you may not like Buhari or the APC lead FGN, IPPIS is a holy ICT innovation capable of effectively preventing corruption, without a fight, on our national payroll. Globally, preventive means of checking corruption is cheaper and greener than the curative means of fighting corruption. No doubt, as with all ICT innovations and deployments, there are bound to be teething problems which do wear away with time. IPPIS provides the long-awaited opportunity for ASUU to exercise their academic autonomy and bootstrap Nigerian Universities to its pride of place. I wish to let Nigerians know that all ASUU is saying about IPPIS is pure propaganda against FGN.

I challenge ASUU to an open debate on IPPIS. Let us examine the smoky issues of funding, infrastructural decay and autonomy that ASUU has consistently used to blackmail FGN and woo the sympathy of Nigerians. It is important to note that the National University Commission (NUC) is an instrument of FGN to ensure Nigerian Universities meet up with global standards. NUC is doing an excellent job to guarantee high standard university education for Nigerians and foreigners alike.

The resource verification and the regular accreditation instruments and implementation procedures are second to none in the globe. I affirm that NUC make use of ASUU members to perform virtually all their task of maintaining standards in the Nigerian Universities. Oh! I may be accused of NUC sponsorship. My apologies, NUC.

I pity FGN, ASUU will recommend to FGN through NUC that all is well and, in most cases, excellent and the same ASUU is fighting FGN through the Presidency and Labour ministry that everything is in total collapse. Who then is the problem, FGN or ASUU? Have we heard ASUU complained to NUC about resource verification or accreditation instruments or exercises? No! Does NUC (FGN) report and enforce ASUU’s findings and recommendations on which university or its programme should be sustained? Yes! Who made strike part of our university calendar? ASUU! Who prepares the university for accreditation or resource verification? ASUU! Who are the phoney resource persons particularly in private universities? ASUU! Who does accreditation or resource verification? ASUU! Who affirms that our universities and its programmes are particularly in good form? ASUU! Who awards the degrees? ASUU! Who is saying our university system is dilapidated and substandard? ASUU! My Nigerian universities, your midwife has become your murderer, prosecutor, advocate and judge. ASUU why? Who therefore is the clog in the wheel of progress of Academics in Nigeria?

The Way Forward:

(i) ASUU should apologise to FGN and Nigerians for negligence, misdirection, and disruption of university calendar at least in the last two to three decades; and put a final stop to the incessant strikes in the public universities in Nigeria.

(ii) ASUU should accept that other public or civil servants are equally important.

(iii) ASUU should come out straight with their unique welfare nature; with respect for constituted authorities as enshrined in our holy books.

(iv) ASUU should henceforth, “call a spade, a spade” and do their job with fairness, professionalism and integrity without any fear or favour.

(v) ASUU should device ethical means of enforcing professionalism, integrity and standards in Nigerian Academics commensurate with global norm. It is hoped that this divine ambush on ASUU on his way to “Damascus” will redirect ASUU’s focus from its misplaced intention to a genuine course of Nation building and promotion of Academics in Nigeria. This piece is my opinion and not that of my university or professional bodies. Thank you.

Which way Nigeria?

Cutealexio:
Nice move but as it stands now we have only minimal control on pirates causing mayhem in our coastal territories. The government should eradicate this by providing enough gun boats, frigates and Corrvetes. We don't need submarine or aircraft carrier (jet) yet but what we need is at least two helicopter carrier with transport and attack choppers, that can respond to any pirate activities in our coastal territory. I know the Nigerian Navy has an agreement with most neighbouring west African countries and that was why the Nigerian Navy was able to rescue the Chinese fishing vessels that was hijacked at Ivory Coast few days ago. This frigate is too old and it will only be used for training of the personnel that will man the New frigate Nigeria just ordered. Lastly, no Navy can be strong without producing its own ships. China has the second best Navy in the world today and they achieved this by manufacturing their own battle ships and importing few of its weapon system. Nigeria Navy should enlarge its flying wings for Swift operation

You definitely know what you're talking about.

nyzeo:
I am 33 and I come from a state from the south south. I met a girl in Lagos 4 years ago who is from the south east and we have been very good friends ever since then.

I have developed very strong affection for her over time and we started dating. We really love each other now and we have have finalized plans to get married anytime between this year and early next year.

The issues now is that my parents are insisting I marry from my state, somebody who speaks the same language. It has caused me to have issues with my mother because she is the orchestra of all this tribal bigotry.

Please lala and house memeber make una advice me abeg. I have found someone who truly complements my life I really sincerely love this lady. Thanks

Good evening, I normally don't comment but your post got me concerned about a lot of things. Let me get to your particular issue.
Marriage is between two people, yes, but it has to be carefully done. It is imperative that both party's family consent to the joining of their children.
Saying because your parents didn't allow now you should then may without their blessing, thinking you're now a man, hmmm, I fear for you. It's a dangerous thing. Consider that if issues come up with you, which nobody plans for, where will you go or where do you expect your wife to go? to friends??
Just try as much as possible to convince your parents. Pray, if you believe in prayers. Invite your parent's friends and other family members to talk to them. Shower them with attention and gift. Be at your best towards them. Just try make sure you get their consent (even if it is partial).
Do not disregard them on this issues, it is dangerous for the family you're trying to build. Because you respect your parents enough to seek their consent does not mean you're childish.
My token...
