Will the romantic machines provide money for soup?

"Ugly black women are in the forefront of this so-called Feminist movement."

This is my own interpretation of one of the points I took out from this extensive critique of Chimamanda Aichies's feminist drive by a young writer.
Read it here: https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/1835324/adichies-feminism-vacuums-fallacies-gonzaga

Ms Adichie is not ugly but if she was a not a star and walks into any social gathering she probably wouldn't attract a second look from 'correct guys'.

Sloan: Why all of a sudden Kano is being bombed? Is it an attempt to destabilize another opposition state and declare a State of Emergency?

Boko Haram (APC) is simply protesting Sanusi Lamido's refusal to keep sponsoring them ever since he became Emir of Kano-also Sanusi has made peace with GEJ.

Boko Haram is now using female suicide bomber cause they know Sanusi loves women...e go pain am well.

Same way 'the youths' invaded Nigerian politics in 1966 and led us to civil war?

Most of the major actors in 1966 coup and civil war were aged between 25 and 35years old.

tpacalipse: When a lunatic posts anything, you do not need to be told.

It takes a bigger lunatic to reply foolishly on anything posted.

[size=13pt]Was the attack carried out by a suicide bomber or a group of gun men? Or both?

How come no one in Buhari's CONVOY was killed, just innocent bystanders and road side traders.

My take is that the damage on Buhari's SUV was carried out long before the blast occurred. As soon as the blast occurred sending everyone in panic mode, they (Buhari's convoy) all drove to the scene and parked in strategic locations near the incident.

From Buhari's SUV's picture,the bomb seems to have[b] dented the bullet proof body of the jeep[/b], a few bullets dented the windows and flattened the tyres but the bomb or bullets could not crack the jeep's back lights-made of glass. Kudos to APC's beaters or motor make-up artists.

Before APC-warriors attack me, THIS IS MY OPINION,and I have a right to express it, understood? Fine, go ahead and attack![/size]

[size=14pt]When Obasanjo told the world that some of the Chibok girls will never return this is what he was talking about.[/size]

[size=13pt]I hope these female suicide bombers are not Brainwashed CHIBOK GIRLS [/size]

tpia1: And, imagine putting edo as #9 and leaving out ekiti completely?

Ofcourse, i know there are Catholics in Ekiti,but i'm making reference to large concentrations.

IbrahimMav: Inferior religion. Islam is the true path. May the light of Allah shine on you.

Thanks but No, thanks. Whenever i want a dark patch on my forehead i'll wait till Ash Wednesday.

Pvin: Where is Enugu?

Number 11 ?

Today, we are exploring Nigerian top 10 states with the largest concentration of Catholics.

My own observations, in this order:

1. Anambra
2. Lagos
3. Imo
4. Rivers
5. Delta
6. Ondo
7. Benue
8. Nassarawa
9. Edo
10. Abia

General observations:

-Igbos are the largest followers of Catholicism in Nigeria.

- Yoruba Catholics tend to be indigenes of Lagos & Ondo states. Also,majority of Yoruba protestants have Catholic, Anglican or Baptist heritage.

- Most Northern Catholics tend to be indigenes of Benue and Nassarawa states. Other Northern Christians tend to be alligned with ECWA.

- Most Nigerian Catholics are dual of both Catholic & Penecostal churches, depending on the magnitude of their sudden life challenges.

Your thoughts.

MRAbudant: This video is a perfect proof that shekau is a misguided and schizophrenia patient, who conceals his intent under the guise of a muslim to perpetrate evil and vile deeds, in other for some illogical individuals to cast aspersions on the moral and virtuous characters of muslims, forgetting that boko haram is a product of political creation with the objectives to claim political power and some other malicious and iniquitous interest, although, romour has it that most of its sponsors are from the north bt that preconception is nt concretely valid enough to narrow it into ethno-religious concept by stupidly and ineptly saying that boko harams are muslim, as a people co-existence and good interaction are very instrumental in a trouble-free and successful society.

Whenever the Sultan of Sokoto who is leader of all muslims in Nigeria proclaims or declares a FATWAH on all Boko Haram , then we'll know that Northern Nigerian muslims are serious in fighting Boko Haram.

Henceforth, I will curse any Nigerian that stoops so low to issues with these hungry Ghanaians that started this thread.

The Ghanaian govt probably planted this 'Nigerian protesters' story to discourage dumb Ghanaians from continuing with their nationwide protests over subsidy removal-else, what are the names of the two Nigerians in question?

I have been to Ghana a few times- Ghanaians (in general) don't hate Nigerians, it is lazy and foolish GHANAIAN MEN (like the ones on this thread) that hate and ENVY Nigerians.

GHANAIAN WOMEN love and worship Nigerian men,go ask Nadia Buhari,Yvonne Nelson and Juliet Ibrahim.

In spite of Boko Haram problems since 2009, Nigeria has just over taken South Africa as Africa's largest economy.

If Boko Haram were to emerge in Ghana today, they would take over Accra government house in 48hours,and we would all watch Abubakar Shekau s0domize President Mahama on Ghanaian national television.

Nigeria is the giant of Africa.

THREAD CLOSED!

DOROBUCCI is a Naija slang; the song was a monster hit in Nigeria and I expected a FULL Nigerian cast in the video.

The South African extras in the video made it look pretty odd. The maid dancing in Tiwa's scene, the guy doing push ups with Asian girl on his back and Di'Ja's body guard-they were black but clearly had typical SA features. SA blacks look different from Nigerians.

Too many white and coloured girls.

Imagine if Davido had shot Aye in South Africa??

Nigerians artistes must stop featuring white girls on their videos for just featuring sake. If you must feature foreign women in a video their presence MUST add to the creativity of the video.

Chidinma's 'Emi ni baller' used foreign women but everyone loved that video cos they(oyinbo girls) were creatively used.

In that case I'm looking for a sexy South African babe to marry o, but i no get plenty money. She has to be ready to come live in my "face me i face u" one bedroom apartment in Lagos-where the entire compound shares one toilet. LOOOOOL

Interested SA sistas on this forum should please reach me on [email protected]

I don comot this thread o!

Honestly speaking, why would GEJ or PDP try to elminate Buhari barely 48 hours after a very public war of words?

Was Buhari's attack on GEJ any worse than Obasanjo's letter, Sanusi Lamido's allegations or Nyako's memo?

Buhari should know that when you have the likes of Atiku, Kwankwaso, Amaechi and Tinubu inside your own party with their own vested interests, then you'd be a fool not to watch your back.

APC holds the answers to this particular bomb attack.

5 REASONS NIGERIAN-OWNED BIG BUSINESSES HARDLY OUTLIVE THEIR FOUNDERS.

Apart from a few Pentecostal churches, it is very rare to find Nigerian-owned businesses that have outlived their founders and even expanded. In many western nations including South Africa, you’d find businesses that are over decades or centuries old and have grown and expanded beyond what their founders ever envisaged, unfortunately many of such businesses are not owned by ‘black’ people. Check out brands like Coca-cola, Disney, Ford motors, GE, Wal-Mart and even ShopRite, just to mention a few.

I grew up idolizing the late Chief MKO Abiola, I he had lots of business concerns such as Concord Newspapers, Berec Batteries and a host of others, and then he died. Everything vanished-with every investment probably squandered by his numerous wives, children and other relations.

As some one that has once worked in both large and medium scale Nigerian owned businesses, here are my observations or ‘opinion’ on why Nigerian-owned big businesses hardly outlive their founders.



1. FAMILY TIES: A lot of Nigerian-owned big businesses have found it very difficult to divorce themselves from the influences of the immediate and extended families of its founder. Once a Nigerian develops a successful business, his family (many ‘habitual’ failures) begin to swarm round the business looking for their own piece of the pie without bringing anything new to the table. Brothers, sisters, cousins or nephews of the founder that are not qualified in any way begin to vie for positions in the company-and they often get it. Due to ‘cultural ties’, the founder finds it difficult in enforcing a system based purely on merit, lest his ‘people in the village’ accuse him of not wanting to help his brothers and sisters.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook is worth over $100 billion, yet people don’t hear much or anything about his father, mother, brothers or sisters, if he was Nigerian...


2. GROOMING SUCCESSORS: Nigerian (and black African) business owners find it difficult to share the real secrets of their success to ‘outsiders’. Most times they just want to groom their own children to take over the business. But as it’s often the case, many children of Nigerian big business owners don’t necessarily possess the business acumen their parents have. Once the business is handed over to them upon the death of their parent(s), they run it down.
In more advanced societies, big business owners always have an eye out for people within the establishment, perhaps among his/her managers, that have rare leadership skills and are not necessarily blood relations. They keep these people close, make their stay in the company a comfortable one and begin a systematic grooming process- even the employee in question will not know that he or she is being groomed.

As for Nigerian owned businesses, once an ‘outsider’ employee starts to display strong leadership skills, both the owner, his family and other ‘hangers on’ will feel threatened and start conspiring to put the ‘I too know’ employee in his place. They’d say things like, “Where were you (or your father) when we started building this company?”


3. DELEGATION: A lot of Nigerian business owners believe that they are the sole originators of all workable ideas for the business. Employees (especially junior ones) are not expected to ‘think’ but only to do ‘whatever oga says’. Most progressive ideas generated by ‘ordinary’ employees are subtly and sometimes openly frowned upon. This further makes it difficult for many Nigerian big business owners to create a system of delegation of duties from managers down to the lowest cadre of staff, giving them executive powers to initiate and execute far reaching decisions.

This is one of the reasons why you hardly find Nigerian-owned big businesses (except banks) running thousands of branches or outlets nationwide and worldwide.


4. TRIBALISM AND NEPOTISM: Will an IBETO GROUP ever allow a competent Yoruba man assume executive management of the business? Or will an Odua investment Company ever allow a competent Igbo man to lead it? Your guess is as good as mine.


5. PRIDE AND FEAR OF LOOSING CONTROL: In the life of a business, there could be periods when a company becomes too successful, too stagnant or too complex even for its founder to effectively manage. In advanced nations, whenever business owners face these types of challenges they quickly start scouting for new deals, mergers or bigger partnerships that may even include buy-outs. In such deals, the founder may even loose executive control of the business to a larger board where he becomes an ordinary board member with certain privileges. Business owners take such decisions in order to ensure the long-term survival of their business or brand.

In Nigeria, a business owner faced with such challenges would never consider engaging in such partnerships with bigger entities, talk less of stepping down as CEO. They’ll keep saying to themselves. “I've suffered hard to build this business, what will my children inherit?” Many will decide to weather the storm and with all the points laid out earlier in this article playing out, the business dies a natural death –sometimes during the life time of its founder.



CONCLUSION: As an aspiring 'big' business owner myself, I cannot guarantee that I too will not be plagued by some or most of the points highlighted above. But I’ll sure as hell TRY not to.

Sloan:

All these NONSENSE from an Ibo man! Why do you care much about Ekiti State? I am sure they must be crassly stoopid to think you care, or are you not the ones who normally call Ekiti poor and backward with brown roofs - way before any elections ever held? In your previous posts, your only achievement is castigating Tinubu, APC and praising the goat of a president JEG but now you make a patronizing post to make it seem as though you and your ilk (ibos) are the true friends of Ekiti while you are not as your post history and ibos in this forum glaringly show. Well, it is up to them to do whatever they want, in a few months time we will all see how their decision holds up!

TRIBALISM has clearly driven you to a state of madness!

Has anyone noticed how the APC has been throwing subtle but venomous insults at the Ekiti electorate for voting Fayose?

- Tinubu's TVC on a live discussion programme referred to Ekiti as a 'rural state' with people blind to progress.

- Femi Falana recently said that Ekiti people have willingly returned to Egypt i.e bondage.

- Many more APC chieftains have openly accused Ekiti people of collecting rice and voting for 'stomach infrastructure'. Even though APC also distributed rice.

My question now is, will APC subject the great people of Osun to such insults if their party loses next month?

PDP has lost many of its strongholds in the recent past but that great party (PDP) NEVER went about insulting the electorates for voting them out. PDP simply went home and restrategized.

My conclusion? APC is a very dangerous and vindictive political cult.

NIGERIANS, ABUBAKAR SHEKAU IS DEAD.

The international community must,right now be laughing at Nigerians for their lack of investigative prowess. You can't blame them since we(Nigerians) like the rest of the world still believe that Osama Bin Laden was killed last year or so by the USA and buried at sea.

My dear Nairalanders,after a series of personal eagle-eyed investigations and analysis of recent events,I can authoritatively confirm to you all that ABUBAKAR SHEKAU IS DEAD and buried.

However,we can't celebrate because the man currently fronting as Shekau is twice as deadly and brutal-he has to be so as to convince their , financiers, sponsors and the rest of the world that Shekau is still alive. If Boko Haram ever its that Abubakar Shekau is dead,most of their sources of income will dry out. Also,most of the lieutenants that would have naturally replaced Shekau have been killed by Nigerian government forces.

This Shekau impostor is most likely a sibling or close relation of the late Abubakar Shekau,that explains the resemblance. We cannot also rule out the possibility of make-up artistes being smuggled in from the Chad or (AFP) to touch up this impostor and make him look more like Shekau before shooting any video. This may explain the length of time it takes before a 'Shekau' video is released.

Please study the graphic presentation below,after which you can now watch the two video links below and make your own deductions.

ayukdaboss: The peace you're enjoying sitting behind your laptop and typing this long sermon this night, those women and children have nothing close to it. They're under attack everyday and since you and me can't do anything to help them the best we should do is pray for them instead of bringing up stories like this based on Asari Dokubo who is clearly a clueless man.

You are a gullible and stvpid ldiot;
How can 63 women escape from Boko Haram,,reunite with their respective families (according to reports) and get kidnapped again?

The VANGURAD didnot even tell us that the insurgents went house to house looking for the women. This news report tries to paint a picture that the 63 escapees were in the custody of the Nigerian army when Boko Haram attacked a military base at Damboa (on Friday o) and took the girls back?

Thank God the Nigerian army from the outset had never confirmed the kidnap or escape of 63 women and children.

This is Boko Haram's media war but you are too dumb to understand.

Two months ago over 250 Chibok girls sheepishly followed their abductors into bondage.

Now we are hearing news that 45 Chibok women that had just escaped Boko Haram's captivity have been recaptured?

Something is not right with Chibok.

There's a major scam going on in that town called Chibok.

How come we are just hearing about recapture of these escapees barely hours after news emerged that the Nigerian military routed a major Boko Haram base,killing 44 and arresting two foregn mercenaries?

Is this a media propaganda to swiftly discredit and dillute Nigerian Army's recent successes?

Asari Dokubo may be right afterall!!!

Ok, i get it.
APC mods on Nairaland put STALE NEWS on FP so that paid APC e-rats can come here and comment pretending not to know its an old news.

APC una too much o.

Has Nairaland been hacked again?

THIS NEWS IS OLD OOO....since May 2014.

What is happening to Nairaland and APC?
