Egbon, Please send a WhatsApp message.
How are you?

OK. Done

I'm doing great, you?

Tinubu’s second-term ambition from French hospitals is no more important than the lives of over 100 million Nigerians living in perpetual poverty and squalor. These old men have nothing to lose, yet they keep wasting the productive years of the average Nigerian.

Buhari left Aso Rock for the grave. Now, no one can hold him accountable for the damage he did. We cannot continue to recycle unaccountable old men with very little stake in the future.

Why are you people wasting the lives and hopes of your young people to satisfy the egos of old men in their ultimate prime?

Lagos State,Nigeria.
How's work and the kids?

We are doing great. Work is fine.

You deactivated your WhatsApp? Was genuinely worried for you. Glad you're safe and good.

Where have you been?

poshestmina:
Hello Mr Acidosis .
How are you? Been a while.

SMH!!!

Hope y'all bullies are aware that the name "Warri" has grown into something much bigger than the geographical boundaries you people are now trying to police??

Many times, comedians have sold out shows in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria (and abroad) using "Warri" as part of their theme.

Trying to diminish that trend because nobody knows your community is so irritating. Two truths can co-exist. You can put your community on the map without diminishing another.

Mind you, the idea that people don't know the difference between Effurun is completely false. As a non indigene who lived in Delta State for 5 years, I know the difference between Effurun, Warri and other parts of Delta, from Sapele to Agbor,Ughelli, Abraka, Asaba, etc. If outsiders who have never been to the state are ignorant of that fact, that's completely normal and acceptable.

Do you know all the different communities in Kaduna? As an outsider, don’t you also refer to most of them simply as Kaduna? People living in Kaduna North or South do not say they are going to Kaduna. The communities have names. But outsiders can stick to Kaduna. This is basic knowledge, isn't?

This is you treating every divorce case as the woman’s fault? So, even when a woman’s life is under threat, she should remain in the marriage because dying married is better than staying single? Have you ever seen a woman threaten to leave her marriage without a genuine reason?

Just look at what a so-called mother of the nation is doing publicly while schoolchildren and teachers are being held captive. It is well. Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to donate vehicles or drones to Amotekun and other security operatives? At least pretend that you care.

Now we know who truly cared between mama peace and her mockers.

Parachoko:
When they eventually borrow the FG, what will Obidients now do about it?

By the time the borrower in chief is long gone, your children's children will be repaying loans Tinubu used to secure his personal ambition. Obidients are trying to not let you ruin your future with your own hands. They're simply saying don't let BAT destroy your generation to come because of Amoda's grains-for-votes.

mechanics:
The man knew he can't father children, so she did that so people won't see her as the cause of their childlessness.

The man knew, yet he waited until she died before confronting her? Intelligence is far from this comment of yours.

So, if you know you are infertile, will you go to the hospital six times to welcome children, conduct six naming ceremonies and baby dedications, then wait until their mother is gone before doing a DNA test over something you already know? Does this make any sense to you, my brother?

mechanics:
Funny, she did that to save the marriage but she should have told him before having children outside the marriage.

How?

poshestmina:
Yes

NL is stressing me 😞
If you see this before 10pm, shall we?

Kemetian:
YES THEY DO. You're talking rubbish.

And please don't mention the life expectancy figures of fifty whatever because that's from measuring infant/maternal mortality rates mostly in the north.

Doesn't mean that actual adults are dropping dead at 50-something.

Elders (65+) only make up 4-5% of the population because most people don't make it to that stage.

I think we can successfully end this argument with the fact that Nigeria is still among the top 5 countries with the highest rates of widowhood. So, like I said, the idea of getting married solely because of old age makes no sense in Nigeria. Most don't get to that stage either because of untimely death or separation.

It's okay to argue, but data and facts (people's lived experiences) don't lie. ☺️

LARRYOBRAIN:
Marriage is an achievement, when you reach age, you go understand.

But most people in Nigeria don't get to experience old age, do they?

It takes a great deal of grace and 'connection' to see 70–80-year-old couples still together these days. Either they're separated, both die at some point, or one dies and leaves the other behind. Somehow, the one left behind always survives one way or another, which makes your theory invalid.

You don't have to look too far. Look at your family, your inlaws, and your church. Do you know any 70–80-year-old couples still vibing together as one family?

descarado:
Hey Acidosis my brother. I lot him. Diarrhea killed him on Wed midnight. He was my world. We doo not know what to do. I just keep on losing loved ones.

This is beyond heartbreaking. I honestly wasn’t sure who you meant when I read this yesterday night until your response, this is devastating. I’m deeply sorry. I don't even have the right words right now. May God comfort you. May he comfort you and hold you through my dear sister.

Gratitude 🙏 Her dad will probably still pay her rent and give her regular upkeep.

So just because a country has a fancy looking...


A working collation center we can arrive at the conclusion that that country is better than another?


Stop thinking with emotions and sentiments bros!

No, I gave you facts and data. Give me proof that Nigeria is not among the top 5 spenders on elections. Then, another proof that Nigeria is not about the top 5 poorest countries (GDP per capita) in the world.

Only criminals and fraudsters are against real-time electronic transmission of results.

brain54:
You can't use only collation center as metric to rate one country above another...

Stop defending criminality.


After UK, US, and India, Nigeria spends the most on elections in the world, yet this country has the worst electoral outcomes and is the 4th poorest in the world.

@OP,

Today's 5th; what's the doctor's report?

cnonyechi:
You keep repeating jumping and playing. Why send less than 3yr old to school now she can't even talk to say wats up. First ask her if anyone out something into her wee wee then quickly take her to the hospital asap. Am scared cos of diseases. If it's a finger day was inserted she might not feel pain. God forbid

Where are you supposed to keep a 2+ year old child? Your office? Or everyone should become a remote worker? What worked for you may not work for everyone else.

Btw, majority of rape incidences against minors didn't happen in school, but home settings and neighbourhoods.

But how many people still do get bitten by snake bites in the UK ..


Those places have become urbanized and the habitat of snakes diminished. The only time those people may have direct contacts with snakes are in controlled environments like zoos or experimental labs or facilities!

Chat GPT, Grok, Meta AI etc can be utilised FOC.

Meanwhile, the last time anyone died from a snake bite in the UK was 1975. The report online is that Nanyah was rejected by two hospitals. And nope, she wasn't rushed there. She drove herself to the hospital.


Poor leadership is costly.

You want to kill yourself because of political power?

Leave power for capable, younger, and able hands, but y'all old crooks will never listen.

PulaPower:
Like I always say, if you wan go school for Nigeria, go better school..

There are some schools in Nigeria that no matter how the ranking is, you can’t just compare them..

One is OAU
Another one is UI

This is not about the school she attended.

Social media (twitter in this case) positioned her for the opportunity.

After she got this offer, some of her colleagues jumped on the trend to make similar posts. Guess what? The few I saw got different offers. But one thing they all have in common is huge followers (visibility).

Nobody ever visits the old man at home. Always on the run like a tout.

I was thinking about something lately and I want your honest opinions.
My mom and dad we're so in love, they birthed beautiful kids, both boys and girls, unfortunately, she died. Her story ended, it was a very sad moment for my family. 2 years after, he married again, not because he wanted companionship but probably because he wanted a brand new family.
This is my question, why do men marry again and procreate even after their first wife gave them both genders?

Probably??

Your first mistake is assuming that your father (and by extension men) married solely for procreation. The second is assuming that people who do not plan to have children will never have them. In reality, many people are born without deliberate planning.

If abortion were legal and Nigeria were not a deeply religious country, it is unlikely that our population would exceed 70 million. In many families, there is at least one child who arrived "by mistake,” and this is a common story across countless households. So, the fact that you see your father procreating doesn't mean he bargained for it.

Seeing his new family could also be a sacrifice he needed to make to be with the new woman. How many Nigerian women are willing to live life without a child, worst off with a man with kids?

I understand how you feel. Your post appears to come from a place of betrayal and the pain of how quickly your father moved on from the love of his life. It's not necessarily about the new wife/family. But even you, as your mother’s child, are you certain that you have not also moved on? If you were to find another woman today who is willing to be a mother to you and show you deep, genuine, and unconditional care, would you not embrace her?

Not making excuses for your father's decision though. I'm big on priorities. Sex and procreation should be least of your father's priorities. I feel like 2 years is too short to fix the most important issues.
