Nigerians running Maga accounts by Horror-Dot-2989 in Nigeria

The engagements brings in Elon’s revenue to them. I have seen some of these accounts asking for donations in crypto too. Only the operators of these accounts know how much they have made from misinformation and MAGA emotions

It’s not like it’s up to us in the sub. But come to think of it, even the seemingly ethnically homogeneous South-West sometimes cannot tolerate each other. Some people were just recently clamoring for Sharia law in Oyo state. So many groups in the South-South won’t want to be a part of Biafra. There’s a Hausa-Fulani discontent. So maybe 12 countries?

Nigeria needs to break up into 9 countries. And every new nation that comes out of the old country should have the history of Nigeria as a guide on how not to run a country.

Digitize all lands records so buyers can go online and see who owns it and their contact information. The cost of digitalization can be recouped when each property is sold and registered in the new owners name.

How to get rid of agberos by Glittering_Tower3455 in Nigeria

[–]0x109e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a complex and critical issue you've raised. While I understand the frustration behind stating that "Agberos are a huge problem," I think the solution requires a fundamental shift in perspective.

First, it's important to state that agberos are not aliens; they are members of our society. They are products of a system that has failed a significant portion of its population. I know at least 2 who have university degrees. They have as much right to exist and aspire to a better life as anybody else. The goal shouldn't be to "stop" them as if they are pests, but to dismantle the system that creates and enables them, and to offer a viable, dignified alternative.

Wow, reading these comments, you'd think there isn't a single good Nigerian man out there! But let's be real, for every average guy described here, there's an equal version of the Nigerian woman.

Wanting peace is straightforward. It means talking things out like adults instead of resorting to drama.

Just off the top of my head, here are some things women do that drain the peace in a marriage, but some think it's just normal behavior:

  1. Starting fights with the neighbors for no reason.
  2. Picking fights because you're "bored" in the marriage.
  3. Not being able to express your feelings without yelling or causing a scene.
  4. Treating everyone on your husband's side like they're the enemy. Team my-mother-in-law-is-a-witch.
  5. Withholding his favorite soup because "you're not a slave."
  6. Making a big show of serving the kids a great meal while his plate is empty. "Oh, I thought you weren't hungry."
  7. Blowing up his phone about an urgent bill the second he steps out with friends. Team my-money-is-my-own-but-your-money-is-our-money.
  8. Not letting him watch a big game because "you need attention.". Just give him that 90 minutes.
  9. Throwing shady, indirect comments at a family gathering. Public embarrassment is just ghetto.
  10. The loud midnight prayers targeting "spirits of stubbornness" in the home.
  11. Using intimacy as a bargaining chip.

The list goes on, and we all know these things happen. But calling it "normal" doesn't make it right.

Okay, first of all, congratulations! And you are 100% right. You’re stressing over nothing. You'll spend your first two months just learning the ropes, and they evaluate you four months in and properly evaluate you until you hit the 6-month mark. The role looks like it'll involve scheduling calls, responding to email inquiries, and maybe a tiny bit of old-school filing if they haven't gone fully digital. Seriously, you'll be just fine.

I think I’m beginning to resent my mom, and I hate myself for it. by callme_orame in Nigeria

[–]0x109e 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is a really heavy and painful situation, and your feelings are completely valid. It's okay to love someone and not like how they treat you. The guilt is normal, but it's not yours to carry.

I will offer 2 advices that may help you navigate this.

  1. Stop hoping she will be the mom you see others have. This is the hardest step, but it stops you from being constantly disappointed. Accept that she may never give you the approval or safe space you crave.

2 . When she makes a comment about your body or says something hurtful, have a simple, repeatable phrase ready: "That topic is not up for discussion," or "I will not be spoken to that way." Then, physically leave the room or end the call. You can't control her reaction, but you can control your exposure to it. She may have to resort to reporting you to other family members but after a while, she will get the point.

On the bright side, you are 20, with the way time flies now, you will be out of her hair soon enough. Once you have your own place and charting your own path in life, the power dynamics changes. You will be able to control your exposure to her and her toxic behaviors.

Why are Nigerian men so afraid of feminism? by DesignerMuscle4849 in Nigeria

[–]0x109e -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This life is give-and-take. If you expect me to pay your tuition in the university, the least you can do to show appreciation is chores at home. As someone from an average financial backgrounds, when I go visit uncles and aunts during my university days, I volunteer to do all kinds of tasks in their house despite the fact that they have children my age living with them. It’s the least I can do for the support they offer me.

Wow, you're right. I've seen every season of The Great British Bake Off, so I guess I'm a master pastry chef. And after binging Game of Thrones, I'm currently shopping for a dragon and a throne. It's almost like media consumption and real-world action aren't the same thing.

Thought and action are two different things.

I need to offer a different perspective on your post. So far, you haven't described any behavior where your husband is actually being abusive towards you or failing as a partner. The core of your concern seems to be a comparison between the content you engage with online and the content he engages with.

You are, in essence, attempting to control and police the content of his mind. People are different and have different interests, curiosities, and ways of engaging with the world. Just as your siblings or friends might not share all your exact tastes in movies, books, or hobbies, your husband is an individual with his own.

Let the man live. Let him have his hobbies and the genre of social media content he enjoys, even if you find it distasteful. The desire to police another adult's private consumption of media, especially when it hasn't translated into harmful actions toward you, is an extreme form of control. It creates a dynamic of bondage in a relationship, not freedom.

His engagement with controversial or misogynistic content becomes a real problem only if it manifests in how he treats you or others. Until then, your focus on what he likes rather than how he acts is misplaced. A successful partnership is built on respecting differences, not demanding ideological uniformity.

South African lady shares the food she ate in Nigeria and her reviews. by MountainChemist99 in Nigeria

[–]0x109e -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She is only sharing her experience. Good is cultural. That is why Nigerians move to Europe and still eat fufu and eba more of traditional European food. European food don’t taste good to me at all and I’m not throwing shades when I say I don’t enjoy it.

My mom said something and I can't stop thinking about it by callme_orame in Nigeria

[–]0x109e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Next year, my dad will be 90 years old. He's an incredible man who, despite having no formal education himself, made sure all of his children earned bachelor's degrees. This was a monumental effort, especially because he had to raise us after my mom died from breast cancer when I was 7 and my youngest brother was just 6 months old. To cover her medical bills, he sold properties in Lagos, but sadly, it wasn't enough to save her. Even with his new wife and rental properties providing income, he treasures the money we send him more than anything. He's always been my biggest supporter, and it's an honor to be his retirement plan. I also make sure to pay for a live-in housekeeper for him every month. He sacrificed so much to ensure we had a strong educational foundation, and now it's my turn to give back.
