ALWAYS PRAY TO HAVE EYES THAT SEE THE BEST IN PEOPLE, A HEART THAT FORGIVES THE WORST, A MIND THAT FORGETS THE BAD, AND A SOUL THAT NEVER LOSES FAITH IN GOD.
Dear Yetunde Barnabas
What is this?
We know you are beautiful, talented, and blessed with the resources to produce your own movies. Congratulations on that.
This is, however, a sincere appeal. If you’re going to tell stories around Yoruba traditional religion, please do so with adequate research, respect, and cultural depth or stay clear of such movies. Your recent movie Yemoja raises concerns about how our indigenous beliefs are portrayed.
We live in a time when people ask questions, seek evidence, and critically examine religious narratives. That makes it even more important for filmmakers to represent every faith, whether Christianity, Islam, or Yoruba traditional religion with fairness and responsibility. If similar misrepresentations were made about other religions, the reactions would undoubtedly be strong.
Not every story should be told without proper understanding. If the necessary cultural and spiritual grounding is absent, perhaps it’s better to focus on the genres you do exceptionally well, such as romance, family, and contemporary dramas.
Our indigenous heritage deserves thoughtful storytelling, not portrayals that may leave people with misconceptions.
I will review the Movie when the second part is out.

When Trump calls Obama "Barack Hussein Obama", we all know why he does it, its not because he loves the full name or likes to call people by their full name, he is using the middle name as a slur. You are not sleek, you are actually stupid.
Should be a learning moment for the business owner. Things like this is why every food vendor should have a written down food recipe and standardized processes strictly adhered to. Our “freestyle it” behavior isn’t sustainable in gastro business if you want to maintain quality.
200 puff puff! According to her pinned post on her page, one puff puff costs 250 Naira per one, please multiply it 200, the total would be 50,000 Naira.
When you are making puff puff, you are supposed to taste the mix to be sure you missed out nothing.
I need you to be real with me. Imagine buying food at a restaurant and it lacks salt. When you complain, the chef says he forgot. How would that sound to you?

All the pros are true. The cons:
- Expensive to go out, hire help, nannies, etc
- Mandatory health insurance range is 5-10k per year for adults and 1-3k for each kid
- Learning the language is required for full integration: Swiss-German, French or Italian
So, it's mostly about the costs.
You'll need to be earning very well and/or be quite frugal to enjoy it there.
Technically, compared to a more affordable place, you'll also need to be working more (to earn more), comparatively. So it also depends on how much you value chilling and free time.
It's also famously not that fun, if you want vibrant city life, but I very much agree that as a dad with kids this is not very impactful.
And last but not least, subjective: weather can be gloomy in many parts of Switzerland.
I am so tired of the “Switzerland is just evil bankers hiding elite money” narrative
Banking is only about 5% of Swiss GDP
Pharma is bigger, at 5.8%, fyi we account for 10.5% of global pharmaceutical exports
Manufacturing is around 24%
We also rank #1 in innovation world wide
Oh and we also have the only real democracy in the world
The issue is that the foreigners view of Switzerland and its economy is plagued by it’s image…
No sorry but it isn’t just Zurich and Geneva carrying a country of cows and ski chalets where inhabitants produce chocolate and expensive watches
Zurich canton, aka the state of Zurich, produces roughly 18% of Swiss GDP with about 18% of the population
Geneva produces about 8% of GDP with only 5.9% of the population
The reality is that the country is full of small towns with industrial and service bases that employ people locally and sustain entire regions
Take Monthey, where I grew up. It’s a city of around 15,000 people, yet it holds one of the largest contiguous chemical site in Europe:
2,000 people on site daily, with names like Ciba, BASF, Huntsman, Sun Chemical, and Syngenta. For Syngenta, largest crop protection producer in the world, Monthey is a globally important production hub
That site is also where the world famous Ferrari red pigment was invented
That’s the real Switzerland
Small places quietly making world-class things, and the system works:
My father grew up on a rural farm, couldn’t get a higher education. To give my family a better life he got a job at Syngenta working night shifts as a factory worker. 20y later he still works there, but now he moved up to a coordinator role in charge of a part of manufacturing where he leads a team of 20.
There aren’t many places where you can leave school at 14, spend your whole life as an employee, never invest a cent beyond your retirement savings, and still work your way from the lower class into a very comfortable middle-class life
2 months ago, I took the day off to join my dad as he picked up his Porsche Taycan 4S. Sure, it was secondhand and around 120k off sticker, but for someone who grew up waking up at 4:30 to milk cows before school, then back to work again after class, and never had a vacation until he met my mom in his mid-20s, it’s an extraordinary milestone
The state covered my healthcare until I was 20, and it quite literally saved my life, I would not be here otherwise
Swiss taxpayers spent roughly CHF 18 million keeping me alive, and a big part of what drives me is the desire to repay that debt by becoming a net positive for my country
And yes, of course Switzerland made real moral compromises during WWII, but for the love of god consider the situation it was in
Judging those choices without looking at a map is deeply unserious: by 1940 Switzerland was effectively surrounded by Axis-controlled territory, so neutrality was a survival strategy under extreme pressure, not some claim to moral purity lol. So yes, the Swiss National Bank bought gold from Nazi Germany. The real question is not whether compromises happened, but if survival ended and complicity began. It’s very easy to moralize about clean choices once the war is over and someone else had to live through the alternatives…
If you are going to criticize Switzerland, do it where criticism is deserved
Lastly, before calling Switzerland cowardly for neutrality, remember that Pope Julius II founded the Swiss Guard in 1506 because Swiss mercenaries were the best in the world and had a reputation for loyalty and military effectiveness. Five centuries later we are still protecting the Pope btw
Next time instead of taking about our big bad banks, talk about: our factories, our labs, our medicines, our engineering, or the diplomacy, the humanitarian work and so on
Oh and look at your own countries actions before having the audacity to criticize others…
When I had my first baby in LUTH in 2003, the doctor walked in confidently to sew up my episiotomy without any lidocaine. I closed my legs and told him it was not happening. He got angry. That this is something he does everyday and it is not as big a deal as I was making it. I refused STILL.
When he saw how stubborn I was about it, he then said they didn't have any. I got my mum to go and buy; waited a while and then got sutured later.
Apparently, it is a common practice even in Nigerian government hospitals. Lots of people said they were told it was not necessary. I think it is a barbaric practice and doctors who do it should be ashamed of themselves.
Many women consent because they think the doctor knows best. Going through so much pain immediately after vaginal birth should be outlawed.
One thing I’m sure of is that if truly the yorubas got the Gele from the igbos, they’d have called it “gele-igbo”. Like they did with Fila Hausa, Ewa agonyin, garri igbo, Abuja yam, ope oyinbo and others.
We don’t like appropriation.
I’ve really been laughing at the PR Switzerland has been getting lately 😄😄 i best most people would be rudely shocked to know what living in Switzerland really feels like
The information was in school books for reading, so what is the "Una no dey ever read" ?
The moment y'all come across something new, you pass the knowledge in the most degrading manner to feed your weak ego.
Hate to break it to you guys but sometimes you have to do things you don’t like for the sake of having a community. Avoiding consistency with the people in your life is working against us and the data already shows it. If you think connections can be sustained on absence carry on
everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager
> drive your friends to the airport
> go to their party even when you're tired
> stop cancelling last minute
> host at your place
> support the wins & losses
it's worth every ounce of effort
Chewing bones like chicken, fish, and other soft, chewable meat bones.
The first time I chewed a chicken bone at the office during lunch, everyone at the table literally stopped eating and stared at me in shock.
They started making all kinds of funny comments like:
“Hey, you’ll break your teeth! “The bone will tear your throat! “Why would anyone chew bones?
So l’d say, chewing bones.
This is so terrifyingly annoying. This is madness! This is open hostility and the government is not doing anything.
Is this how we are supposed to live?
The primary responsibility of the government is security. This is madness!!!
Dear Nigerians, it’s only a theory after its been scientifically proven and backed by scientifically measurable facts.
Until then, what you have is called a Hypothesis. Shalom.
@_Tiga_b Imagine the wreckleness stupidly called “professional driving”
Can’t respect a simple global driving rule and overtake through the left.
Both the idiot who posted this and the stupid drivers in the video should have their licenses revoked for life and serve at least 1yr jail term
