if the lies continue after the marriage, una go still blame the man for ignoring the obvious red flag he noticed before the marriage.

Story

FreeStuffsNG:
The editorial of Punch did an awful job with this one-sided and biased reporting.

An unbiased reader of this report may think that this report seem like a hatchet job by the proscribed IPOB group lawyer in collaboration with the Punch reporter to instigate Punch newspapers readers against lawful authorities.

Why use the word invasion when this is a lawful exercise? Why was the spokesperson of NAFDAC not contacted? Why is the report centered on the speech of only the IPOB lawyer? Why is there no a reference to the legal unit of NAFDAC to even confirm if there's such a correspondence? Why is the report looking like a sponsored post?

Unfortunately, this is what NAFDAC got for not prosecuting those directly involved and their collaborators who kept mute when crime of drug tampering and adulteration was being committed around them.

NAFDAC should stop issuing just fines and confiscating and destroying the exhibit, they should do like NDLEA and prosecute the suspects. That's the only way they can avert this kind of scenarios. Anyone arrested should go prove his or her innocence in court.

you created a thread yet hatred could not let you read what you created. Or you read and did not understand. It's very pathetic.

So person go learn and understand Cybersecurity in 3 months too? Una don come again

I don't know if you are genuine, I am advertising for you. I have shared this post in a WhatsApp group but with a caveat.

How do they get these statistics

you answer their questionnaires without knowing

Op please do a comparison of building a 3 bedroom apartment with normal blocks, sand and cement and that of with the bricks.

Kemetian:
So we should not build electric vehicles until there is 24/7 light across Nigeria?

The world doesn’t work like that.

India and Pakistan have power cuts till tomorrow, yet they are even building spacecraft.

You people need to stop thinking small.

You’re too timid in the way you reason, some of you. 🤨

don't mind those shallow minded people. Why did he buy a smartphone and other electrical appliances in a country that is unable to have 24hr electricity.

They were paid. Someone exposed them on tiktok.

Investigations revealed that the company’s touted AI assistant, “Natasha,” was largely a façade—most of the work was done manually by 700 engineers based in India.

India is the world's capital of scams yet the world won't let Nigeria rest.

christejames:
Seun is just displaying the petty journalism that is currently abound in Nigeria , no critical questions about the economy, no retributal questions about governance just some gossip gists...



No wonder our social media itself is fester with inanities as content.

you are not in the field and it's obvious you know nothing about media interviews. Incase you don't know, what Seun did makes a good interviewer. Have you listened to Mehdi Hassan of Aljazeera?

Samuelspy1:

Here’s a simple layman's summary of the article:

🗣️ What Happened:

Afenifere, a well-known Yoruba socio-political group, criticized President Bola Tinubu, saying he has failed Nigerians badly after one year in office.

🔍 Why They’re Upset:

Rising hardship: Prices of food, fuel, and transport have gone up, making life difficult for ordinary Nigerians.

Security problems: Kidnappings and violence are still a big issue.

Poor economy: The group says Tinubu's government hasn't improved the economy or created enough jobs.


📢 What Afenifere Said:

They said the government is “clueless and incompetent”, and accused Tinubu of surrounding himself with selfish people instead of solving real problems.

📝 In Simple Terms:

The group believes President Tinubu’s leadership in his first year has made things worse for most Nigerians, not better. They’re calling for a big change in direction.

Here's a simple summary of the article:

🛢️ What Dangote Said:

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, says the price of petrol in Nigeria is 55% cheaper than in other West African countries, thanks to his Dangote Refinery.

🏭 Why This Matters:

Dangote’s refinery, located in Lagos, started producing fuel in 2024.

It reduces Nigeria’s need to import fuel, which used to be expensive and caused fuel shortages.

With local refining, petrol prices have dropped significantly.


💬 Dangote’s Point:

He emphasized that Nigeria now has cheaper petrol because it produces its own through his refinery — while other West African countries still import fuel at higher costs.

💡 In Simple Terms:

Thanks to the new refinery, petrol is now much cheaper in Nigeria compared to neighboring countries. This helps reduce costs for Nigerians and improves fuel availability.

2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 Coupe and the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 Coupe.




1. Reliability & Common Issues

#### **2016 GLE 450 Coupe 4MATIC**
✅ **Generally reliable** for a luxury SUV, but has some known issues:
- **Air Suspension Problems** (AIRMATIC leaks, especially in older models)
- **Electrical Gremlins** (infotainment glitches, sensor failures)
- **Transmission Hesitation** (9G-Tronic can be slow to shift in some conditions)
- **Turbo Lag** (minor delay in throttle response)

🔧 **Maintenance Tips:**
- Regularly check the air suspension for leaks.
- Keep up with transmission fluid changes (often overlooked).

#### **2017 Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 Coupe**
✅ **More performance-focused, slightly higher maintenance needs:**
- **Same AIRMATIC issues** (but AMG-tuned suspension is stiffer, which may wear faster)
- **Brake Wear** (AMG models have larger, performance brakes—pads & rotors cost more)
- **Engine & Turbo Stress** (higher boost pressure than GLE 450, but still a robust engine)
- **Exhaust Valve Issues** (some reports of rattling in AMG exhaust systems)

🔧 **Maintenance Tips:**
- Brake jobs will be **more expensive** (AMG brakes use larger, performance-oriented components).
- Use **premium fuel only** to prevent carbon buildup.

**Winner for Reliability?**
The **GLE 450** is slightly more reliable due to less performance strain, but neither is a Toyota—expect **higher-than-average maintenance costs** for both.

**Current Used Prices (2024, approx.):**
- **2016 GLE 450 Coupe:** **$25,000–$35,000** (depending on mileage)
- **2017 GLE 43 AMG Coupe:** **$32,000–$45,000**

**If you plan to sell later, the AMG will lose less value.**

---

### **4. Which One is the Better Buy?**
| **Choose the GLE 450 Coupe if…** | **Choose the GLE 43 AMG if…** |
|--------------------------------|-----------------------------|
| ✅ You want a **smooth, luxurious ride** | ✅ You prefer **sharper handling & sportier feel** |
| ✅ Lower maintenance costs matter | ✅ You don’t mind **paying extra for AMG prestige** |
| ❌ You don’t care about AMG branding | ❌ You’re okay with **higher tire/brake costs** |

---

### **Final Verdict**
- **Budget-conscious + comfort-focused?** → **GLE 450 Coupe**
- **Enthusiast who wants sportier performance?** → **GLE 43 AMG**

If you’re looking at **long-term ownership**, the **GLE 450** is the more practical choice, but the **GLE 43 AMG** is more fun and holds value better.

chatGPT is fun to use

Not head bridge. It happened at Ogbunike toll gate.

Tomorrow now he will turn and pour curses on his elder. Shameless man with no integrity.

Reno is a young man who still has a very long time to be politically active. But the way his is starting, now at 50,he has garnered lots of enmity to himself. Very soon every other politician will be sceptical to work with him. He has absolutely no integrity.

I am very sure that he will be insulting Atiku offline, wetin remain na to start to diss his oga Jonathan. It's very pathetic.

Dumb people, The passage clearly indicates that Elon Musk's assignment as a special government employee is over — it says he “started offboarding” and that his tenure “officially concluded Wednesday evening.”

TheBillyonaire:
Bla Bla Bla bLa, Tech Tech Tech, what is Tech really?

Just designing online products, does not make sense how that is called Tech.

I wonder how you came up with this thought. What you said is not even mentioned in this thread. Who said that tech is about designing?

guy it's a big lie

There are many federal civil servant into different businesses like real estate n co Forget this your lie

Nigerian civil servants are not allowed to run or manage private businesses while in full-time service, except for farming, which is legally permitted. This rule is based on the 1999 Constitution (Fifth Schedule, Part I, Section 2b) and supported by the Public Service Rules (PSR). Farming is encouraged as a legitimate side hustle to support income and retirement plans.

RevolverOcelot:
Lol. This can't be true.
Besides all our Senators and Commissioners and Generals and Ministers and President etc they are all Civil Servants and many if not all have other businesses apart from "farming".

do senators work and retire in the senate? No be elect Dem elect them? No be only 4 years be their tenure?

Charlatans

Ok

Bebold:
Then civil servants should also see how they can be more productive for themselves.

Having side business can upgrade them too, while demanding better treatment from the government.

Let's not hush certain things not really proper in the society to silence.

The last time I checked, the more advanced a society develops, the lower the number of civil servants.

You can go confirm it.

Don't be comfortable with stipends, the society won't wait for you.

as a civil servant, (federal, I don't know of states) you are only authorised to engage in agriculture as a side business. What of people who are not privileged to do farm work?. If caught doing any other things apart from farming, you will be prosecuted or dismissed or both. That's Nigeria civil service rule.
