Yes

Please do not go to school. It is all hype and some people go to school and don’t make it in life either. Instead, here and there just act like you can read and write and so on, to get by.

Please do not buy, build or rent a house. Houses drain your energy, you have to maintain it. You have to pay for work done on them. It isn’t worth it. Never have a home.

Please do not learn a trade or skill or profession. It is just a way to work and work and work. Just try to steal here and there whenever you can. Just do that to get by and manage your life that way.


Please do not exercise or live healthily. It is not worth it. Some people lived healthily and yet something else killed them. Instead just love, eat however you like, abuse drugs and increase your cholesterol levels. Become obese where possible.


Please do not develop successful habits like hard work, dedication, grit and tenacity. It isn’t really worth it. Run from one profession to another. Start things and abandon them halfway, etc etc. So many people have suffered variously because they decided to be hardworking. Believe me it isn’t worth it to be hardworking and show dedication to purpose.

Please for ease of mobility never buy a car either. You know some people their cars give them issues and problems. They have to fix it, fuel it, wash it, etc. Ignore the visible support and facilitation of efficiencies and effectiveness that a car can offer you and trek from Mowe to V.I. Or enter Danfo and get your office clothes stained. Then explain to your Oga how even though you can afford a car, you will never!

I usually avoid topics like this one. A topic where personal and individual realities are made generic.

There have been people who have been successful going overseas. Just as there have been successful people who remained in Nigeria. And there have been people unsuccessful out there and in Nigeria.

My advise will always be to:

1. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE PATHWAYS AND TIMEFRAME TO SUCCESS IN ANY LOCATION. EACH COUNTRY HAS ITS PATHWAY AND IT TAKES TIME.

2. HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. YOU WILL NOT ARRIVE CANADA AND YOU THINK THEY WILL SACK THEIR PRESIDENT AND THE CEOs OF COMPANIES AND HAND YOU THOSE JOBS, BECAUSE YOU A NIGERIAN (WITH YOUR GARRI AND OKPOROKO IN GHANA MUST GO BAGS) JUST ARRIVED THEIR COUNTRY.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF A PERSONAL PLAN AND ROAD MAP FOR YOUR SUCCESS AND PROGRESS TOWARDS FINANCIAL FREEDOM/INDEPENDENCE AND HEALTH/WELLBEING.


NO ONE EVER GUARANTEED YOU OR OWES YOU ANYTHING BOTH IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY OR COUNTRY YOU MIGRATED TO.
EVEN YOUR COUNTRY NIGERIA HAS TAKEN AND BATERED AND DONE SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR OWN COUNTRY HAS NOT GUARANTEED YOU ANYTHING.

YOU MUST HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BEING ABLE TO PEE ON THE ROAD,ATTEND OWAMBES ,BRIBE THE POLICE,NOT PAY TAXES ETC VS WHAT YOU HAVE OVERSEAS. PROPERLY REVIEW YOUR MOTIVATION TO JAPA AND CALCULATE YOUR COST AND BENEFITS PROPERLY. CALCULATE IT WELL. UNDERSTAND THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM. THE WAGES, EXPENSES, SAVINGS POTENTIALS, ETC.

JUST BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU RIGHT TO IMMIGRATE TO CANADA OR USA OR UK OR AUSTRALIA, OR ETC., YOU EXPECT THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE COUTRY THEY SHOULD JUST SACK THEIR PRESIDENT AND MAKE YOU PRESIDENT AUTOMATICALLY? BECAUSE YOU ARE WHAT? A NIGERIAN?!

Many people joke with the Japa thing and do not calculate properly. I once saw a Nigerian who said he did not know that the Prairies in Canada (One of the Worlds Coldest Region) will be cold!!!!!! Imagine that! An immigrant was so uninformed and ignorant about weather conditions in Canadian Prairies and did not come with a winter jacket from Nigeria, in December of 2024. It wasn’t funny and I wanted to insult him. Because it was annoying. How and why do Nigerians act like so without a plan? Now if someone can come to Canada without knowledge of the weather how much more knowing the ROUTES AND PATHWAYS TO TAKE TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS AND INDEPENDENCE ,STABILITY AND WEALTH CREATION AND OWNERSHIP. Then they come and make useless social media videos about a country and destination they did not plan for, did not research, did not weight the costs and benefits, did not check weather conditions, did not investigate the pros and cons, etc. And because they are looking for views and likes and subs they whip up usless sensationalized topics just to get clicks.

You all get to a country and then because you hear “credit cards” you rush them and get 5. You buy things you cannot afford and then subject yourselves to 4 jobs to pay for your lifestyle. You buy cars (a depreciating asset) for 50k Dollars, Phones through financing, household gadgets through financing, subscribe to DoorDash, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc etc. You forget you have city tax, waste bill, water bill, power bill, sewer bill, and if the property is yours, you have Property Tax.

It is not every job you do that you cannot save overseas. The person that posted this topic is using the experiences of a few people to generalize the entire experience. It is not true that you do not have time to relax. It is you Nigerians who out of greed and materialism and to pepper your fellow Nigerians you get 5 credit cards, buy nonsense andthen you have to work 3 jobs to pay them off. How do you want to have time to relax? Also, many Nigerians are so ignorant of the fact that RECREATION overseas is just different. It isn’t like our typical owambe and barbecued fish with 25 years Glenfidich. It is bowling, skiing, play grounds, restaurants, vacations, etc.

Go and look at those that got there and succeeded. There are pathways with higher guarantees of success. They take time, hard work and dedication. Businesses, Investments, Passive Income Sources, Side Hustles, Finding the Right Circles, Moving with the right crowd, building presence, recognition, power and influence, etc.

When you see people (especially NIGERIANS) complain about Japa, most often that not they fall under these categories:

1. THAT PERSON IS BITTER AND ANGRY AND ENVIOUS AND JEALOUS BECAUSE HE/SHE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO MEET THE MINIMUM CRITERIA TO JAPA. That person has not been able to go as much as they would have loved to. The person either does not have the funds; failed IELTS woefully, does not have the education requirements, has married a bad wife/spouse and is afraid what would happen once they get there, etc. The person is just bitter !

2. THAT PERSON HAS BEEN ABLE TO JAPA BUT FAILED TO PLAN WELL AND HAS MADE VERY BAAAAD DECISIONS WITHOUT THOUGHT AND STRATEGIC CRITICAL THINKING: The person went overseas and made very poor decisions. Very poor! And this has lwd to them entagling themselves in financial mess and working 4 jobs to pay off the bad financial decisions. I know a student who came to the UK and her first credit card she used the limit in acquiring the latest iphone that got launched that year. Even when she was told, her responses made it clear that she did not understand how the credit system works overseas.

3. THAT PERSON HAS BEEN FORCEFULLY REMOVED OR NOT ALLOWED TO STAY: The person has been forcefully deported or the person had to flee back home due to crime, bad decisions, and as a means of escape. Or after edcuation or sponsorship exepired, the person couldnt stay back as the authorities were on their case.

Be careful of what motivates peoples opinions and do you independent search and verification of facts, before taking any decision.

Editorialtimes:
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth have surged, reaching a historic probability threshold that has raised concerns among scientists and global space agencies. According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid now has a 1 in 32 (3.1%) chance of impact, a sharp increase from earlier predictions.

Initially discovered in December 2024, its impact probability was 1.2% (1 in 83) before doubling to[b] 2.3% on February 7[/b], then rising to 2.6% earlier this week, and now hitting its highest recorded figure. These odds make 2024 YR4 the most dangerous asteroid currently tracked, surpassing even the 2004 predictions for Apophis, which had a 2.7% chance of striking Earth before later calculations ruled it out.



Lagos at Risk if Asteroid Strikes

Measuring between 131 and 295 feet in diameter, YR4 is large enough to generate an 8-megaton explosion, equivalent to 500 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb.

Among the major cities in the asteroid’s projected trajectory is Lagos, Nigeria, one of the world’s most densely populated urban centers. With over 20 million residents, an impact on Lagos Island, Ikeja, or Victoria Island could result in catastrophic destruction, wiping out entire districts and severely affecting surrounding areas.



No Immediate Cause for Panic—Yet

Despite the alarming statistics, scientists urge the public not to panic.



Experts predict that the impact probability may continue to rise before eventually dropping to zero, as has been the case with many previously tracked asteroids.

To refine the risk assessment, NASA and the ESA will deploy the James Webb Space Telescope, using its infrared instruments to accurately measure the asteroid’s size and determine its exact trajectory.

The ESA confirmed that NASA, ESA, and other space agencies will analyze this data to assess the risk and prepare any necessary response measures.

What do they use these kids for ?

The final “customer” / “consumer”?

Why does she need these kids ? Does she keep them to attract charity and Philanthropy to her orphanage of which she embezzles the money?

I hope and pray they aren’t doing anything diabolical with these children? Like sex slavery, child labour, organ harvesting and voodoo rituals.

There is a different type of pain loosing a child that you do not know if alive or dead. You don’t know if the kidnapped/stolen/missing child is in sickness or in pain. And regardless of the child’s condition, you just aren’t there to protect them and reassure them.

It is just another world of emotional and psychological pain that is unimaginable. Your heart will be broken for life. You hardly ever get over such things.

These people do not know the amount of heartbreak that they cause loving parents.

Brimstone77:
Hi guys,I have been dating this girl for about 5months now.

Two weeks ago,she travelled out of the country,2days before she travelled we had a protected sex,and that day happens to be the last day she's seeing her period, too..

Today she chatted me telling that the company she went to work for did a pregnancy test and it came out positive..

N:B she did a pregnancy test before she travelled and it came out negative..

We had sex (with condoms)on second January this year,and she travelled on 4 January this year,she said the test was done on over there on the 14th..

Right now I don't know what to do,what are the possibilities that she can get pregnant on the last day of her menstrual period and also a protected sex too..

I need your advice please!

Admins please do the needful!

Tell her to have the child.

That when the child is born and DNA Tests prove you are the father you will take responsibility.

For now start saving for the next 9 months. If the kid is yours then you have some money. If the kid isn’t then you have saved some money too which can be used for better things.

Assuming you everything in your story is factual and no lies, there is a TINY likelihood that you are the father of that baby.

We see being a single parent as a man as 'Cool' but being a single parent as a woman as an abomination.

Why they hate?
Even when we know that most single mothers and good women. Situations put them in that position.

I tare for my naija guys o.

The only single mother I can respect and that is worth respecting is:

1. THE ONE THAT THE HUSBAND DIED

2. SHE WAS FAITHFUL AS A WIFE WHILE HE WAS ALIVE

3. AND SHE DIDNT KILL HIM/HAD NO HAND IN HIS DEATH

4. AND SHE KEPT HERSELF PURE EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH!

THAT IS THE ONLY SINGLE MOTHER WORTH RESPECTING !


Since I can’t prove 2,3,4 I would continue to avoid them forever to the best of my abilities.
It is my choice. You cannot force your choice on us and then still want to make us change our choice to suit you. Take accountability.

No matter how much you have or how you package yourself, fact is that as long as a man has pumped sperm into your womb and you produced a child then “Haunty” go and meet that man Biko, no sensible man will take you seriously.

You women are always thinking you can misbehave and not face the consequences! No. Only a simp and fool will consider a woman run through by another/other men so much that she gets pregnant and bears children. Some even have more than one man that they have kids with outside of wedlock. Shows very poor and horrible decision making with no care for consequences and accountability. Shows the poor mindset. As men we ask ourselves that what does such a woman know or have to teach our kids and to run our homes?! What?Lack of self control and common sense? Tufiakwa!!!!

As for those out of wedlock, they should go and meet the man they decided to open their filthy legs for (shamelessly) to be with him so he takes them seriously. Unless they will mainly just keep being for recreational use only. NO MAN WILL/SHOULD TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. I would also keep advising other men not to touch them even with a stick or pole. I don’t want to be in a serious committed relationship with and see someone who daily reminds me of her stupid and bad choices and the result(s) therefrom! Daily reminder of poor and bad decisions. If you can easily open your legs, expose your private parts to a man who is not your husband and hasn’t performed the necessary things as per tradition on your head, and you got get pregnant and bore a child, it simply means you rebelled against all the rules and instructions by your father, mother, society, religion, to keep your stinky legs closed.

I have nothing against you single mothers. Just go back to the man you readily opened your damned legs for. If he doesn’t want you anymore, then be alone and enjoy the consequences of your actions and don’t expect any man to ever take you seriously. Ever!

Politicians with no Core Fundamental Principles or Ideologies.

They can just cross over where they think they stand a chance for more money or power.

FIRST RULE OF POWER

NEVER OUTSHINE YOUR MASTER !

Never outshine the master" is the first law of power (in The 48 Laws of Power). The law states that you should not over-display your talents or ambition in an attempt to impress or please or be combative to those above you, as this could inspire fear and insecurity. Instead, you should show your value, while still allowing your superiors to feel comfortably superior.


Before you make any political move or harbor any political ambition and aspiration in the south west and especially in a State like Lagos State, YOU SHOULD INFORM JAGABAN AND SEEK HIS APPROVAL. You should privately speak with him and let him endorse and sanction your next move. In fact ask for his advise and wisdom and opinion. If he tells you wait, you wait. If he tells you not yet, you wait. If he tells you I am prepping another role for you, you ask what it is and tell him you are ready to support and play your part.

That is politics. As funny as it sounds this is the real deal in human relations and politics.

The NNPC Ltd Production Monitoring Command Centre (PMCC)

They should make it clear from now that are ONLY monitoring their own (NNPC LIMITED) production and not that of the whole country.

NNPC Limited should be transparent and report things as it is. They confuse the Nigerian public and creating the wrong impression that they are a Government Regulatory Agency. They are not! THEY ARE NOT THE REGULATORS OF THE INDUSTRY AND THEY WILL NEVER BE. They are not even the ones that determine the pump price of petroleum in a regulated market. National Production Volumes are monitored by the NUPRC (Formerly DPR).

I laud their efforts though as it is very commendable. Hopefully, it yields proper crude oil production accounting and economics.

Well, Gentlemen and Ladies,

We are majorly a people of conservative orientation, values, and principles.

Whether we like it or not, only a small percentage of Nigerians support woke values.

This is what we are as a people. And no nation shall have the right to come tell us what to do in our country.




I am also mainly conservative and share the following examples of some of my values:

-The belief that individuals should take responsibility for their actions and decisions, rather than relying heavily on government assistance.

-A man is a man and a woman is a woman. Gender is real and not a social construct. If a man can be a woman why the need for the surgeries and hormonal shots and medication.

-All humans have right to societally sponsored and Free Education, Healthcare/Sanitation, Safety and Security.

-Humans are allowed to eat both plants and animal produce and products.

-Dogs dont have parents. Humans can never be parents of dogs. Dogs have OWNERS. I have the right to thoughfully control, capture, rescue or kill any unruly harmful animal that is a threat to me or my loved ones.

-Facts and data do not care about your feelings. I believe that free speech should be protected, with a set of guidelines or limitations based on specific values and concerns.

-Believe in peace through strength. Accept and believe in self protection and preservation and defense of one's home, life, property, loved ones and the society from attackers that seek to do harm, even to the use of lethal force.

- Advocacy for free market principles, believing that encouraging innovation and economic freedom leads to prosperity and innovation.

-Distaste for weird and unnatural sexual orientation and activities. Men should not have sex with men. It is an abomination! Minor attracted persons have no rights and should face the death penalty. If they don't, I encourage parents to take laws into their own hands and kill the child rapist/molester/abuser.

-Prioritizing national interests and maintaining control over borders, immigration policies, and foreign affairs.

-Belief in an infinite spirit and divine intelligence in the form of a God. Call it any name from the over 500 religions in the world.

-Support for the traditional family structure, often I emphasize marriage between a man and a woman as an important societal foundation.

-Supporting a well-funded military to protect national security interests against external threats.

-Valuing the preservation of cultural traditions, history, and heritage while being cautious about rapid social changes or radical reforms.

-Etc.

WHEN I SET UP THE FIRST TRUE NIGERIAN SOCIALIST AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY, THESE AND MORE WILL BE THE VALUES WE WILL PROMOTE. AND THESE VALUES WILL GROW NIGERIA FROM WITHIN MAKING HER AN INDEPENDENT AND INWARD-LOOKING COUNTRY FIRST AND A GLOBAL POWERHOUSE. The Nigerian people's republic socialist and conservative party shall have a beautiful Manifesto. For now we are investigating the rot and challenges and coming up with solutions to present in our manifestor for critique and review comments.

I support the arrests and investigations. Proper investigations. If the investigations reveal and find facts and evidence to show that he actually raped/sexually abused them, then they did not murder him, please.

It should be on record that he committed suicide. He was frustrated and tired of life and then he poured petrol on himself while he was asleep and lit it, setting himself on fire and he died from the burns.


THAT WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

Abeg, he committed Suicide jare!

None of our business.

Many people, billions of people were doing things at the time of the year. Some are even dead now. Australia was first and is already preparing for 2nd of January.


By the way, do you know what year it is in Ethiopia and Nepal? It will make you think again.

Haha..

I told someone who was fretting about new year and resolutions and all that crap that New Year's Day is a cultural convention tied to a specific calendar.

Many cultures use different calendars, so it's not a universally 'special' day, but rather a shared marker for those who follow the same system. The idea of a 'new year' is simply a human construct. It's a point in time we've collectively agreed upon within a specific calendar system, but it doesn't hold the same significance for everyone worldwide.

I mentioned that while we celebrate New Year's on January 1st, it is important to remember that this is based on the Gregorian calendar, which isn't used everywhere in this Obodo of the World. It is a fact that many cultures have their own new year celebrations at different times, based on their own calendars. So, it's more of a shared tradition within a specific group than a universally special day. I also said that while we enjoy the celebrations and the feeling of a fresh start, it's good to remember that it's a bit of a 'self-imposed euphoria' and a shared feeling among those of us who use the same calendar. We create this sense of excitement and new beginnings around New Year's, and that's wonderful, but it's important to recognize that it's a shared experience within a specific calendar system. It is just a 'self-imposed euphoria and not based on any significant event, no one knows the starting point of the earth's rotation and revolution.

Na so dem take look me like Devil and Spawn of Satan....

In a viral social media moment, a single mom has stirred up intense reactions after showcasing the mountain of gifts she showered on her young son. The photo revealed an extravagant collection of toys, gadgets, and other presents, leaving netizens buzzing with mixed opinions.

While some applauded the mother for her generosity and devotion, others expressed concerns that the boy might be overstimulated by such excess at a young age. Comments like, "This is too much for a little boy. He needs discipline, not indulgence," flooded the comment section. Others, however, defended her, stating, "She’s just showing her love the best way she can. Let her be."

The debate has since sparked discussions about parenting styles, with many questioning the long-term impact of overwhelming a child with material possessions.

Any adult is free to make their decisions about anything concerning life.


Any adult is also or should also be aware of facing the consequences.


Any adult should also be aware that actions can be moderated and controlled to ensure the desired consequences are an outcome.

As usual, come up with a meaningless post.
So all the cabs, hotels, suya spots, clubs etc etc that benefits from this are connected to "Alausa" or "Aso Rock" before they are operating?
Must you guys write when you don't have anything to write?

Our own currency is scarce every December?
I'm just hearing it for the first time and I have spent at least 24 of the last 30 Decembers here in Nigeria.

“…that benefit from….”, please.

The hotels and resorts and clubs that make significant benefits and feel the real positive impacts are. They are connected one way or another to the seat of power in some way. Either through friendships, bribes, other form of networking.

Yes. Your currency has been scare mostly every December /towards the end of the year since 3-4 years ago, especially after the new naira notes saga. Even the dead are in a place but are not conscious of the things around them. Zombies too. The uneducated and unenlightened may also be too stupid to notice or to daft to comprehend. So for those who do not notice, it could be due to many factors.

And to those that feel they need to willfully deny facts because “THEY WANT TO BE PATRIOTIC”, it is a fact that Nigeria is a wonderful place. An enjoyable place. But has its undeniable issues and challenges like everywhere else that require progressive acknowledgement of the issues and fixing these.

Yes o, I must write even when I don’t have anything to write because I CHOOSE TO. Nothing anyone can do about it. If anyone thinks that he/she can do anything beyond online insults then I quadruple dare anyone to the beginning of their ancestors to try to do something. It will and can only end in online insults and name calling. Nothing more. This is my own contribution to the matter.

Nigerian businesswoman Oluwatofarati has stirred up conversations online with her strong opinion on DNA tests after childbirth. In a recent statement, she made it clear that if she found out her husband had secretly conducted a DNA test on their newborn, she would not hesitate to take drastic action.

“If I find out my husband had a DNA test done after I just pushed a baby out, immediately I leave the hospital, I’m leaving with my child and serving divorce papers,” Oluwatofarati boldly stated. Her remarks highlight the deep sense of betrayal and lack of trust she would feel in such a situation.

The businesswoman's comments have sparked a heated debate online, with many supporting her view that trust should be paramount in marriage, while others question whether DNA tests are justified in today’s world.

Ah Haunty why na?

Please don’t divorce us na? Please Ma.

OK OYA NO VEX MA…

You know if you divorce us you will go away with our joysticks and we will not be able to use it again. And you know… you know… that if you go away all restaurants will close, and everything you do for us no one else or no other business service can ever do it. .

LET US COME TO A FAIR AND JUST COMPROMISE.

Please naaaa…..


Ok what of 2 weeks after you pushed out the Baby? Will you Manage that one ? ……

No? Ok…Oya just pick any date from the day the baby was born to after you leave the hospital? “Pwettyyyyyy pweaaaaase”?


Please naaaaa….don’t be angry na? Oya sorry let us do it one month after delivery and leaving the hospital. Just one month.

Oya no vex naaaa.

😀😀😀😀😀🤣😂😅😆😁😄😃


Wahala Dey o.

If you divorce me in such circumstances, I will go and ENSURE I DO PROPER THANKSGIVING IN CHURCH AND DONATE A LOT OF MONEY TO THE POOR AND NEEDY IN GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR SAVING ME FROM SUCH A NARROW MINDED DIABOLICAL WOMAN.

ONLY A VERY FOOLISH MAN WILL TRUST A WOMAN WITH CLOSING HER LEGS. When your legs are the easiest thing to open nowadays.

Lol,

I fear that the Nigerian predatory system will wreck, tax, extort and kill these soon. One person in government will soon devise a means to extort the opportunities and drive it to the ground.

Especially, if the business is set up by the common man that is not connected to Alausa or Aso Rock.

But if we can have sense and make the best of the opportunity, Nigeria will do wonders. Detty Dec., will hopefully compete with Ibiza and Tomorrowland.

A country where it’s own currency is scarce for its own people every December…

Lagos is acting like we do not know the corruption in ALAUSA?!The bribes and extortion and “settlement” and that businesses face.

There is no shutdown or closure in Lagos State by any Lagos State Agency that does not involve some sort of bribery and/or corruption. 100 per cent are related to bribery, extortion, blackmail, targeted attacks due to political differences and power tussles.

There is this wrong assumption that every business wants to be in Lagos and that Lagos will never loose its investment appeal and pull factor.

No one is saying companies should not obey the law. But when the law fundamentally is extorting companies in the name of revenue and fees and licenses and permits, without sensible consideration for the current economic situation and dilapidated public services and e mentioned, it becomes counter productive to start taxing and extorting companies.

Additionally, paying for water extracted does nothing significant for the environment, especially for a politically and administratively corrupt and rotten country like Nigeria. I challenge any Environmentalist to a debate on how Lagos charging these companies for water abstraction will help the environment.

Popular activist, Aisha Yesufu, has urged men to ensure a DNA test is conducted on their children.


https://dailypost.ng/2024/12/28/every-man-should-get-dna-test-done-on-their-children-aisha-yesufu/

If you can afford it, do three (3) Peace of Mind (PoM) tests. If you can afford it, go ahead and do these three tests recommended below:


TEST 1. Immediately after the baby is born. Samples collected not latter than 30 minutes.

To make sure you are the father.

TEST 2. Not latter than 1 day before leaving the hospital.

To make sure evil and abominable Nigerian nurses do not swap your baby. THERE IS UNTOLD ,UNSPOKEN EVIL IN THE NIGERIAN MEDICAL SYSTEM.

TEST 3. A third test from ANY OTHER TEST CENTER DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST TWO (2). Not latter than 8 months after the baby reaches home.

To ensure that there were no errors from the previous tests. Yes.

If you have the money, do these three tests.




That is what I still recommend.

Good Lagos.

Hope they dont all end up overseas, because despite efforts to produce more medical professionals, Nigeria faces a growing brain drain that leaves hospitals understaffed and healthcare delivery at risk. It is their choice though to do what they want with their skills, labour and service.

To me o, there is a strong need to adopt a multi-faceted approach to retain the country’s talent. Beyond establishing institutions like these , it is crucial to provide competitive compensation and incentives, improve working conditions with modern infrastructure, and create local career development opportunities through scholarships and partnerships. The fear is with bad governance and unsafe/insecure environment there will also be a strong need to enhance security and governance for ensuring a more stable, functional, safe, secure and free environment. They should also be ready to collaborate with the private sector to establish world-class facilities to retain the talents they are about to produce.

Nigeria needs strong patriotic campaigns and recognition of exceptional contributions to foster a sense of duty and commitment to serving the nation, but again humans are naturally self preserving.. Nobody come lagos come count bridge. Who wants to serve in an unsafe and insecure environment? Lagos State should take on many measures that collectively implemented, can make staying in Nigeria an attractive and viable choice for medical professionals make dem no all japa.

Ahh… Even though I know it is just relative comparison, I DONT LIKE WHAT WAS USED TO COMPARE WHAT THE RESERVES CAN GET BIKO. NOPE!!!

Let it be able to finance home grown industrial development projects. If little is needed to import some technology to support homegrown development, then that is fine.

I would prefer to hear that the reserve is able to finance so and so level of industrial growth and local production of goods and services, where as a country, we have comparative advantage and economy of scale BIKO.

Don’t scare me with the fact that the eyes of the CBN did not see other parameters that support internal and home grown industrialization.

So Japa people brought in 4.2 Billion Dollars? Ah. That is cool and positive. We hope they don’t stress themselves too much out there o. We need them alive, happy, hale and hearty to be able to do more. Diaspora people una well done o.

[Netizens across social media platforms have begun to condemn a banner about Jesus Christ displayed at the gate of the Lekki Central Mosque in Lagos.

The inscription in the banner which went viral on Wednesday read, "Jesus Christ is not God.He is a Prophet and Messenger of God."

However, reactions have trailed the message,with some arguing that the motive behind it was blasphemy.

Some others however, maintained that the message has been affirmed by pastors many times.

A Nigerian actress, Wumi Tuase, took to her X and expressed displeasure saying,"I don't like to get into religious conversation but I found it very weird that Lekki Central Mosque has this in front of their gate."

A user who tweeted with the handle #Fisayo Ojabodu wrote,"You don't see the banner is disrespectful to other people's religion.And is propagating agenda."

One user who identified as FS Yusuf tweeted,"Christianity is actually a religion of peace.

"In the last two decades,my family church has been set on fire by Muslim extremists for ridiculous reasons such as religious extremism and. Buhari losing his 2011 election.

"This is the reality for hundreds of churches and also innocent individuals accused of blasphemy.If this write-up was done by a Christian organisation,we won't be here typing.Until we learn to uphold tolerance,we can't make progress as a pluralist society."

One Sliva Bella on X said,"It's not about Christianity is a religion of peace or not ..Jesus us not God.I have read the Bible a lot of time and it's obvious but I can't still get why people call Jesus God.He's the son which means God is the father."

"Jesus is God,Jesus is your King and Jesus will pass judgement on all.For judgement will only be fair through him that has walked in your flesh and felt your pain."GeradTheGreat opined.

"We are so peacefu,and we will remain peaceful,we don't fight for our God,He fights for himself,"Joycccc wrote on Meta.

Another user on X,Expope said,"The late Deborah they set on fire has not done up to this before they all joined hands to terminate her life."

On X, another user identified as #ChristTheLighthouse opined,"We as Christians accept criticism,black , rejection,and even insults.Our Lord and Saviour whom we believe and serve received more up to the point of death!He pray for unbelievers a d his persecutors and killers.

"The gospel of repentance and conversion into Christianity and acceptance of Jesus as one's personal Lord and Saviour is never by force,war, coercion or propaganda...it's as personal experienceAsk Saul (later Paul) of Tarsus!"

On the contrary,one Muhammad Shaikhan said,"The beauty of this drama between Christians and Muslims is that everyone of us knows that God is one.God is always a God.We can't substitute God with anybody.The argument is all about teaching of Jesus and that Muhammad,Peace be upon them.So I don't vex."

Abdul'fattah Muhdl'awwal said,"Jesus himself never said he is God.

"You and the likes are the ones calling him God.Hence the quote in that banner is the fact and not blasphemous."

One Olawale on Meta said,"The message on the banner is true."

HE SAID SO HIMSELF.....



NO OTHER TESTIMONY CAN BE ACCEPTED FROM ANY APOSTLE OR DISCIPLE OR FOLLOWER. ANY PAUL OR JAMES OR TIMOTHY OR PHILIPS OR JUDAS OR PETER OR JOHN OR KUMUYI OR ADEBOYE OR OYIBO PASTOR WHEN THE MAN HIMSELF SAID HE IS NOT GOD. CLEARLY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY.

THE MAN WAS NEVER CONFUSED WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. HE CLEARLY MADE THIS KNOWN.

NO OTHER PERSON CAN COME AND CLAIM THEY KNEW OR KNOW BETTER THAN HIM. NO FUNNY, FANCY, DOCTRINE BASED AND CONFUSING EXPLANATION CAN SUPERSEDE WHAT THE MAN SAID HIMSELF MULTIPLE TIMES!

THE RECORDS SHOW THAT HE SAID SO , BELIEVED SO AND WORKED SO HIMSELF IN THE MANNER THAT RECOGNIZED THAT HE IS NOT GOD. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT ONE APOSTLE OR DISCIPLE OR FOLLOWER KNEW THESE THINGS BETTER THAN HIM OR BETTER THAN HE DID.

THE MAN WAS RECORDED TO HAVE SAID SO HIMSELF WHEN HE WAS ALIVE.

I ACCEPT HIS ACCOUNT AND WORDS OVER ANY OTHER HUMAN BORN BEFORE HIM, BORN DURING HIS TIME AND THAT WAS AND WILL BE BORN AFTER HIM.

WE CAN AGREE THAT HE WAS DIVINE!

BUT:

JESUS WAS NOT GOD!

JESUS IS NOT GOD!

JESUS CAN NEVER BE GOD !

WILL NEVER BE GOD EVEN IF HE TRIED FOR AND TILL ALL ETERNITY!

EVEN IF HE TRIED HE WILL NEVER/CAN NEVER BE GOD !

AND JESUS WAS AND IS SMART, WISE AND KNEW ENOUGH BETTER THAN ANY HUMAN OR SPIRIT TO KNOW NOT TO CLAIM TO BE GOD! EVER!

THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION!!!


WITH THEIR FEET, THEY ARE QUICKLY RUSHING INTO THIS EVIL.

There are six (6) things the Lord hates, seven (7) that are detestable to him:

-Haughty eyes

-A lying tongue

-Hands that shed innocent blood

-A heart that devises wicked schemes

-Feet that are quick to rush into evil

-A false witness who pours out lies and

-A person who stirs up conflict in the community

Personally it is well placed humor to me when such a mistake is made....

Nothing wrong with a little bit of it in life.

Frowning, torturing, and killing yourself has benefited no one.

Shame
