Afonja44:


If Oduduwa is fake then yoruba is fake

Yorubas might actually be the Igbo Osus that were sent to Evil Forest as outcasts which may explain the numerous inter-tribal wars they fought amongst themselves.


I will research on this further and create a thread.

your tribal inclination and sentiment has beclouded your sense of reasoning hence this you're say. they are fake yet you could feel them, see them and go about every normal transaction with then?

if truly they are fake, I beg of you to give us the evidence and the factory they were made from that made superior to them (inferiority complex will make a human feel of himself a better quality to others.) probably a different creator from your did this.

they are osu sent into the evil forest yet they posses a different dialect from yours (this is sounds weird to the ear or to be read.) yes this brings us your mention rivalry (intertribal war) between both tribes. how many times has the Yórùbá's and Igbo's fought wars between each other? don't sell this trash to your children (for it is only falsehood.)

the rivalry between the Yórùbá's and Igbo's is as a result of the Nigerian Civil War. we can't let go of the past but rather keep bringing it into our future. the Yórùbá's aren't competing with or holding any grudge against the Igbo's rather the other way round.

geoworldedu:
If it was Naija, I trust my people to have diabolised it and blame it on innocent village people. Lightning kills and it is just as natural as earthquake and tsunami. But superstitious Africans dont want to hear this.

let the SUPERSTITIOUS AFRICANS be with their theory. for it is obvious that seven if not nine out of the thunderstorms and it's lightening bolt strike that kills in Africa would surely be traced to the innocent village people. that trying to form the woke generation or you don't believe in a concept don't make it unreal.

helinues:
Toh

We need actions not just talk

@helinues, our media personalty gulfnor e yaf come again oh. even with allocation nothing to show for yet he is tactically challenging the central to stop the state allocations, I pity civil service.

these guys are learning fast from Nigeria and Nigerians.

emkz:
It is only in Nigeria people start having solutions to the problems after leaving power.

Losing elections is like taking weed: you start hallucinating.

Aside: To the dude who lost millions due to the FG ban on Binance, ntoirrrrrr!!!

your hate for and towards atiku is beclouding your sense of reasoning. I don't like atiku either (from his antecedent in the Nigerian Custom Service) but that don't mean something reasonable can or won't come out of him.
atiku and his principal while in office, we all know irrespective of their flaws their istration was better of this until gej. I'm no er of pdp for if they had done things rightly we won't be in these whole mess we are in today, still that don't mean they can't criticise (if it is constructive.)
yeah like you've said it pains to know that only when Nigeria political s leaves office their brains tend to come up with vibrant solutions. same reason I do have issues with baba obasanjo whenever he tries to point out ways to go about governance and solutions he never applied in his days as president.

we can all see where his principal tested agenga has taken us thus far.

emydnobl:


Honestly, South Africa is very bitter over other blacks most especially Nigeria decent. This hatred propelled them against their own brother Lucky Dube.

It's very sad seeing Africa fighting each other.

For Chidimma case, SA will totally lose out completely because the young lady arrives diplomatically with Nigeria port and represent Nigeria as a nation.

Any diplomatic issues uprising, the Global Judges will refer them back to settle that with Nigeria government.

South Africa has failed finally, rather their energy vibes is giving Nigeria candidate a global recognition.

Naija we Trust 🙏💯

it means they hate seeing successful people or people doing better than they are.

Seunomobo:
For what reason were they killed?

they were killed for the following reasons:
1: having a military uniform on
2: for being sons of an enemy
3: finding themselves in war zone
4: encroaching enemy boarder line
5: also weaponised at the time.

Voltron007:
A small tuber of yam is 25-30$ here in Toronto. That’ is 1 small yam is $30. There’s money in food business.

Voltron Defender of the Universe. just go to see some one with the old memories.

how is the link sending Nigerian foods abroad? like the ones mentioned here and lot more e.g. dried fish (known as stock fish,) dried meat (bush meat) and lots more.

gaddafe:
You see that palm oil business, I will not advise any Nigerian to go into that business. Before you do, ensure you have been in it for a while before exporting. E get why. Na long story wey I no fit type.

can you share you experience please (probably creating a thread for it, would really love to learn) but please tag me if intend doing.

ednut1:
The owners of the African stores mostly import themselves . My last visit to an African store i saw this. Omo I quickly drop am. 130 Canadian dollars 😂.

Almost everything in Nigeria is being imported here. Bottled coke/fanta, Alomo , gulder , that chin chin in a red pack, burger peanut, maggi, yam, semo, elubo, palm oil, detergent, bar soap, creams, beans, rice, crayfish, stockfish etc

@ednut1, kindly do you have an answer to same question I asked Voltron007?

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


What the hell is cassava flake?

Who even started this stupid anglicization?

same way they turn our morsel foods to swallow. at parties you hear them ask 'do want swallow' (even in our local dialect, they end up saying swallow) rather than do you care for eba, fufu, pounded yam, amala, semo etc, what variety that is available.

congratulations to the man.

this is just crazy, how on earth would you stop the allocation of a state based on personal . these drunks that are power drunk moving around like vampires seeking for whom to devour won't stop at nothing just for their meaningless greed.

wahala be like bicycle for this people, the only thing is when they start they will want to involve everyone.

NoIgboSoundTueh:
According to the Bible Homosexuality is not a sin.
Israel is the most gayest country in earth yet Yashua still bless them and chose them over all goyim
Why is RCCG suspending pastors over mere homosexuality?

can you quote that your Bible verse that states homosexual isn't a sin?

NoIgboSoundTueh:

After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.” (1 Samuel 18:1) David says of Jonathan: “Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.” (2 Samuel 1:26).

you just took the Bible upside down it never even said homosexual isn't a sin like you've said it. this place you quote is just talking about the brotherly affection they both shared, guys being so close doing most of their things in common.

now go read 1 Corinthians 6:9 — English Standard Version (ESV)
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

1 Corinthians 6:9 — The New International Version (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men

1 Corinthians 6:9 — The New King James Version (NKJV)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

1 Corinthians 6:9 — New Living Translation (NLT)
9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,


and Revelation 21:8 — The New International Version (NIV)
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8 — English Standard Version (ESV)
8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8 — The New King James Version (NKJV)
8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

if the Bible could condemn fornication and adultery (illegal sex between a man and a woman) how much more homosexuality.

Naira for crude oil, refined oil for Naira only way to reduce the weight of dollars.

Russia offers refined product for dollars, now India has started same, why would Nigeria be giving out crude for dollars then collect refined oil by returning same dollars they got from them?

........ done reading.

Beekeeper1:
Growing up in Nigeria, there were certain things you just knew about visiting someone’s home. No one sat you down to teach you these rules; they were as natural as knowing that jollof is incomplete without some kind of meat on the side. But when I finally invited a friend who had just moved back to Nigeria to tag along on one of my Saturday visits, I quickly realized how many of these unspoken rules I had taken for granted.

Rule #1: Announce Your Presence
In Nigeria, you don’t just show up, even if you’re already at the gate. We’re all about “respect,” so before stepping inside, you either knock or call out. I always do the classic “ko ko ko, anybody home?” as I walk through the door, announcing my presence. But my friend? He waltzed right in, no knock, no call. Auntie Blessing gave him a side-eye that said a thousand things without a word. “It’s respectful to knock, even if the door’s open,” I whispered. He nodded, looking a bit confused, but lesson learned.

Rule #2: “Have You Eaten?” Means More Than You Think
In Nigeria, when you visit, the first question is never “How are you?” It’s always, “Have you eaten?” To some, it might seem like small talk, but it’s serious business. The “have you eaten?” is actually a test of humility and also a generous offer. I knew better than to say yes too quickly. Instead, I told Auntie Blessing, “Ah, I’ve had a small something, but if you have anything small, I can manage.”

My friend? He thought it was just a polite question. He said he wasn’t hungry—and he meant it. Auntie Blessing looked at him like he’d just rejected her life’s work. In Nigeria, you always eat, even if it’s just a small plate. The moral? Always leave room for “a small something.”

Rule #3: Watch Your Words About Their Home
There’s an art to commenting on someone’s home in Nigeria. You don’t go in saying, “Wow, it’s small” or “Oh, I didn’t expect this decor.” Instead, you ire whatever you see, whether it’s a new TV stand or a plastic flowerpot. I went in with a compliment ready: “Auntie, this your place is just fine, very cozy.” She beamed with pride.

But my friend? He made the rookie mistake of asking, “Oh, is this rented or owned?” I shot him a quick look, and Auntie Blessing’s polite smile turned frosty. In Nigeria, home is home, and unless someone volunteers that information, you never ask.

Rule #4: Prepare for the ‘Just Gisting’ Marathon
In Nigeria, visits are never short and sweet. Once you’re there, expect at least an hour or two of conversation, sprinkled with questions about “the family”, “work”, and “the economy”. My friend had no idea. Thirty minutes in, he glanced at his watch, looking ready to leave. Auntie Blessing caught on and asked, “Ah ah, are you in a hurry?” There’s a code here: you don’t leave quickly unless it’s an emergency or you want them to feel bad.

When she finally gave us permission to go, we had been there for over an hour, and she sent us off with packed food “for the road.” My friend, bless him, was both surprised and grateful, clearly not realizing that no one leaves a Nigerian household empty-handed.

Rule #5: Always Say “Thank You” Before You Go
As we stood up to leave, I nudged my friend and whispered, “, Thank you, ma, for everything.” Even if they gave you a glass of water and nothing else, you thank them as though you’d just been treated to a five-course meal. He followed my lead, and I could see Auntie Blessing’s expression soften. A proper goodbye in Nigeria is part gratitude, part respect, and 100% necessary.

As we finally left, my friend shook his head, both amused and enlightened. “I had no idea visiting a friend could be like that.” I laughed, knowing he’d just had his first real initiation into Naija life. Visiting friends in Nigeria isn’t just a drop-in; it’s a ritual, a cultural experience that teaches you respect, gratitude, and the beauty of hospitality in our own unique way.

so valid points even more. nice piece here, we are just too blessed as a people but greed is really undoing us.

I could my growing up, one of the unwritten rules is parents acquaintance that came on visiting won't leave without them greasing your palm with a little something.
another is you go visiting with a little something for the younglings (kids).
don't get into people space and make a nuisance of it, like putting of your legs on their chair either the one you are sitting on or crossed to another just for comfort, (I have a friend that does this with reckless abandon to think his foot sweats and get smelly put my wife off.)
lots of unwritten rules and codes that being forgotten.

SlavaUkraini:
And when you are at the door 🚪

Leave your shoes 👟👟

Outside.

another silent rule.

WantsandMore:
I must commend your writing skills but the economy by T-Pain nowadays is about to turn our hospitality culture into something else. God epp us.

you are right on this.

Sonnobax15:

I swear I can relate op

I have a very good pal whom I normally visit,but it's been like over 3 months I've been there....... Whenever I visit,the mom always dishes food for me . She know I'm the shy type but being too closed to their family has bridged the gap of shyness .

These days,na me dey boldly dey ask--'momsy, anything dey the kitchen? I wan shawalene, meaning I wan eat" . She go just laugh,enter kitchen and come back with the food....

Honestly, friendship is bae especially when you're in the right one.........I miss all my nighas cha,but na hustle and struggle just keep men apart for now...

way back, you brought those memories following like rapid.

PotatoSalad:
Call before you visit. Whether family or not.
If you visit me without notice and the front camera picks you up, I'll tell you I'm not around.
Respect people's space

this rule is alien to us.

Dijita:

Call before you visit is not a Nigeria culture. We just show up.

Piro18:


This rule cause a problem between me and a close friend, it's been a while since he visited me. Only for me to come home and saw a message from that he and his wife came to my house. The annoying thing v that this my friend has my phone number, he could have called that he came my house or even leave a text message. He only messaged one of my siblings. Me too I did not call him, I only sent a text message to his phone. It's over 20 years, he doesn't call him or talk to me. Please is there anything wrong with my actions.

you and your friend got it all wrong (besides the rule is alien to us in this part, it is more of a western thing, we show up unannounced even till now.) true friendship don't break based on inconsequential issues (you both are being egoistic.)

Righthussle:
He's eating. When you are eating you don't talk

na who do us like this?

this nonsense pangolo with crash and kill someone else's sons and daughters then they will come on social media to beg us for rip.

Samueltemi337:
When last you see me beg?

I no fit laugh this afternoon o, cos me self never put anything for bele.

see me see wahala with this your answer, thank you say you talk true. you dey beg, the only thing be say eh don tay wey you do beggy beggy last.

people must survive anyhow anyhow, as much nobi thief men go thief, na survival instinct for Nigeria now, highly activated.

wasting our resources everytime.

Iwillbeback:
Re : Segliz , you welcome.

thanks.

CodeTemplarr:
What of those afflicted by witches who appear to them physically? How do you differentiate angels from human propelled demons?

Angels can appear to as angel, in human form (like it happened to Abraham) and God can send human to carry out the assignment of an Angel (human being in form of an Angel.) Now to think of it an Angel at any point would never harm, except you are evil and it has been given an assignment to come punish you.

witches are no demon but human beings that has the ability to access supernatural powers, then end up using it to practice dark arts, acts and crafts. demons won't appear in form of Angels they lack the ability and mind when demons or human beings with dark powers and abilities come close you know so you know their purpose like it is said satan comes not but to steal and destroy.

thank you for this great effort.

here we go again, government agency g mou government agency and 20 of there offshoot.

Thugnificent:
Message yourself how? I'm not jobless bro to be doing all that.

you aren't jobless yet you could go around chatting under age girls. creating this nonsense to make front page or for your likes to come batching women.

phoenixchap:
Now that's a NATIONAL MONUMENT!

one reasonable thing I've seen Mr President done so far, returning the Glory of our National Symbol. this use to be the Glory and National Symbol before switching to Zuma Rock and that meaningless Abuja gate. Glory being restored.

SUPERPACK:
This is not practical, redenomination of a currency doesn't help it to attain value, value is only attained by production, exportation and demand

A good case study is Ghana, after removing 4 zeros from the cedis it has not benefited their economy. The inflation is still there, the lack of job and acceptance of the money policy means the move had no effect.

you are right. even if it will work our polithiefcian won't accept this. for it won't allow them access to fund in Ghana Must Go. the more reason this polithievecians devalue the currency is just to have access to more funds for embezzlement.

a world class event in an undeveloped environment.

Maybe the soldier converted to Judaism before ing IDF. If so, his family should respect his religious stance and allow him to be buried as a Jew. Why are Jews so intolerant of Christians though?

you need tell this to righteousness2 who is so obsessed with this way, the self acclaimed born again or christian can't differentiate between christians and Jews, Christianity and Judaism. let come and read this before he this evil further.

Nigeria! Nigeria!! Nigeria!!!

which way Nigeria my dear country? only in thou will two federal security agency will fight physically on the street.

fighting in the full glare of those they are to brought to book for such shameful act. I want to believe those nscdc guys were obstructing the npf men from doing their thing, (who knows, don't mind me I didn't read.) as usual.

so we free to roast the man alive.

yes they didn't tell the man to show his followers and fellow Nigerians shege promax+ but their agents within gave tinubu the script to execute.

directly they didn't but indirectly they didn't, we understand so they shouldn't boarder. na the mumu leaders wey we get wey dey act their devilish scripts.

you will be welcomed, just over to play one of our African Super Heroes.

Mjshexy:
David is just a unique guy, he's got the flair and style. He's one artist that's always close to the people. Nice outfit i must say

I just like the guy I don't no why, he is just himself will sure trill you with whatever he does.

Verydarkhearted:
This guy is really cheap.. even portable can’t go this low..

reading, scrolling and closing the thread would have done you more good than this you said.

nothing is actually wrong with what he has done, he being used as the face of the brand. would you have tagged him cheap if he had help promote you small brand?

he just given life to a struggling brand, if every celebrity can do this then we would have life so easy for wealth would spread.

finally we got promoted.

hallelujah.
