These days just choose where you answer Landlord.

Don't go too far into the outskirts or the bush just to answer Landlord.


As much as possible try and remain in the cities for your safety.


Today people in the cities aren't safe not to talk of scantily populated or bushy areas.

Nigeria isn't safe neither does she have a president or anyone in control.

Well said, doggedfighter

Ndume: Bwala is a maga dog

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume:: Check

Seun Okin: My English has not gotten up to that.

Ndume:: Check.

Seun Okin: What do you mean by that?

Ndume:: Google maga dog

Seun Okin: My Google isn't working at the moment.....

Ahahahaha 😅😅😅😅

Lol

It is difficult to understand why people lie about these things. Why would you deny your own child? If you need to remain unmarried for the rest of your life (which, by the way, makes a lot of sense), please do so. Nobody owes you marriage, and people are free to reject your proposal due to your baggage. Accept this fact with honour and live your life.

"...to loot and pass the baton of looting to the next looter."

Lol

🤣 🤣 🤣

My God! 😲☹️😢

😭😭😭 This is beyond embarrassing.

I'm lying about my people's tradition but you who's never been to Imo State know better

Funny ode

For the record there is nothing like dollar or gold payment my tradition. Kindly carried that particular lie to your tradition


Money and pride has always been part of the Igbo tradition and culture which is why it drives people hatdwork and success at all s

200k can marry you a wife in Yoruba land or north with even half of that but in Igbo land you are not ready

Imo State and anambra you are so not ready but you can always cut corners if you have reasonable in law

Life goes on

No wahala, my brother. Respect to your traditions if that makes you, who are in AI generation with changing economic realities, physically and emotionally sound.

DrFunmisticGlow:
unfortunately, standards to admit medical courses must remain high. If you lower standards, just anybody anyhow will become a just anyhow doctor, nurse, pharmacist , lab scientists, physiotherapist etc. Do you want to put your life or the lives of your I'll relatives and loved ones in the hands of these kind of people?

I understand your view. Standards must be high, but I’d like to believe there are many people who could easily meet these standards yet still didn’t gain admission. Also, while I get your position, it could easily come across as ‘blaming’ the learners rather than the teachers. I think the teaching side has failed more people than their own intellect ever did.

A bad doctor puts lives at risk, sure, but we also have engineers building bridges that carry tens of thousands daily. We have pilots and others in high-stakes jobs, yet they manage to contribute to society without much fuss about shortage. It all boils down to training and retraining.

In many Western countries, nurses are already being trained to take on more tasking roles like prescription. Nurses prescribe medications, not just OTC, but the whole. They are starting to realise that hoarding certain knowledge for a select group, who are never enough to go around, is actually killing more people than it’s saving. We just have to really up our game tbh.

Bigcowhorn:
Tradition is tradition

I come from Imo State. In my place one of the things you do before you marry is give everyone gifts. Even the bright kingsman that don't know her full name you will give

You keep giving out to everyone smiles. In this economy that is easily millions or hundreds of thousands at the least

That's a pure lie. Your ancient traditions were coined mainly by stark illiterates who didn’t have to do much to marry. In fact, some of them used only bush meat, a keg of palm wine, and a few other items they could easily snag from a few days of farming to marry.

It was the greedy men of the '60s and '70s who introduced raw cash and dollars. It is these greedy men, who have failed to evolve with today’s economic realities that permit a woman to also spend on her man, that keep lying about traditions.

Very soon, men like you will start demanding that Bitcoin and other Crypto be paid to kinsmen in the name of same "tradition". What nonsense tradition?

jaephoenix:
They can't take too many docs cos you they don't have the manpower, equipments and housing to manage it. I remember those days of med school. During our obstetric posting, we took deliveries. You can imagine up to 20 med students, 10 nursing students, 2 residents and 1 consultant attending to a birth. I felt for the woman. It looked like giving birth in a stadium with the whole world gawking at her privates

...which is why we need to invest more in expanding and building new tertiary hospitals. It's a demand and supply issue.

The only way out is to keep churning out more doctors until the international market becomes over-saturated and extremely competitive for newbies. You can ask India what they did to tech sector. Too many people are now applying to jobs that don't exist.

You people should stop hoarding medical knowledge at the detriment of people's health. People want to be doctor, you failed to admit them, failed to build new training grounds, yet complain every four market days about shortage of doctors.

Formerly impeached Lagos state speaker MUDASHIRU OBASA is warming up his biological son as the next AGEGE LOCAL GOVT COUNCIL CHAIRMAN.
The party faithful of MANDATE and JUSTICE FORUM are now saying that they can’t serve father and son that no room for his son that doesn’t even attend a single ward meeting

Too late guys

The sweetest thing about Nigerian democracy is "precedence." First to do nor dey pain

Lay a foundation of illegality and watch the next government build on what you started.

ruggedtimi:
Is an ijaw wedding culture...Is a normal thing.

Culture evolves; it’s not static. There was a time humans were killing fellow human beings in the name of culture.

Juliearth:
You should have at least probed to know why it's so, rather than trying to push a narrative.


The bride is expected to put up this show. Her groom and his friends are to shower her with money and this continues until she smiles.

Is frowning until you're spoiled with money supposed to be fun? It's really unfortunate how we adopt certain behavioural deficiencies and call it "culture. "

You’ll attend a Nigerian wedding, and everything will feel so dry. It’s mostly just a bunch of clowns trying to cash out: from the alaga iduro (or mc) abusing all privileges to make money from a man who's probably exhausted his life savings, to the thieving caterer or usher trying to loot meat and jollof, to even the couple selling overpriced aso-ebi to co-conspirators from the same WhatsApp group. And you'll wonder why our society reeks of perpetual greed and theft.

This is why people travel to other countries, experience love, and face culture shock, because the money-driven, morally-depraved love they know back home is completely different from what exists in other places.

We all need to do better.

Omo, I can't believe I read the entire thread. For me, these two top my list:

1. Fried rice

Fried rice used to be one of my favourite foods until one ingredient each started missing. From missing liver, to missing kidney beans, to missing sweet corn. Now dem just dey boil rice, pour fake curry, and sprinkle small aboki carrot and peas 😂 Now, I dey see fried rice, I dey run. 😂

2. Amala and ewedu

I have no issue with people who eat amala o, but the hype about it being a party favourite is just peer pressure. I didn’t know people served amala at parties until I moved to Lagos. In Kogi, Ekiti, and parts of Ondo, sharing amala even with your guests, especially those special ones, in your house is almost never seen. It is usually the last thing when sapa has dealt a heavy blow on you.

You people relocated from Ekiti, Ondo, Kogi, Kwara, etc. and started doing amala PR even though, deep down, you all know it's totally not worth it. God sees all 😂😂

Simpleshafee:
Banga and starch.

Not banga, please.

As long as his hallelujah fanboys are happy and getting contracts, all these do not matter.

Esthered:
I understand your point.
With due respect to the OP, most ladies like his don't aspire to earn significantly as they believe in a man footing the bills. They may end up becoming a non earning SAHM.

Oh yeah, I see your point, but that makes it even worse, by the way. Many SAHMs are very contented. I mean, that's the very essence of being a SAHM. It takes a very patient, understanding, and contented person to want to become a SAHM. Not seeing any good in #500k while still trying to be a SAHM might just send her to the streets.

Esthered:
Why do you think so sir?

Hmm, I think so because a jobless woman speaking low of #500k salary of a single man can never be satisfied. The ideal thing would have been to talk about her own joblessness and how she hope to get a job as quickly as possible to support her man's 500k salary.

Her inability to see her own joblessness as a bigger issue than her man’s 500k salary is deeply troubling. Now picture her audacity/confrontations if she lands a 1m job while he’s still at 500k. Trust me, you don’t want to picture it, my dear. 😀

Bandits in the north. Hunters in Southern Nigeria. It is well.

All of a sudden, vigilantes with dane guns are now confronting over 30 bandits wielding "AK-47s" ? Over to you people, our esteemed Southern intellectuals.

emmaodet:

It's not just that someone earning less than 50k has the audacity to mock and belittle their partner's 500k salary. The problem is that the instant that woman earns even a single kobo more than her man, that marriage ends and never to be revived again.

doggedfighter:
Keep holding the ground strong strong 💪

I am getting by.

Regards to you and the girls !😍

Awesome

Thank you dogged. Thank you ☺️☺️

It is easy to blame the man or the hospital until you realise that, in emergency situations, you really can’t blame anyone. A proper hospital will usually inform you of their charges and bills, even during antenatal visits, giving you enough time to hustle and save up. All things being equal, everything should go well until you encounter a situation where you have to use another hospital for an emergency at the peak of your third trimester - a hospital without your medical history. So, if this new hospital charges the emergency patient 100% more than the hospital he registered with, what should he do aside asking for more time to get the money? We should be considerate when judging such matters.

500,000 seems like a small amount until you face an emergency where the closest hospital demands 2 million upfront for delivery, surgery, or anything else. Being an emergency already reduces the patient’s survival rate. I believe though that a hospital could be more lenient in cases like this, but knowing how Nigerians often undermine the best ideas and try to cut corners, it’s hard to place the blame on one party.

The sad reality is that even with 500k paid upfront, only God knows whether she would have survived, unfortunately. One place I don't wish to visit ever again is that place they call "labour room/theater" or "post-natal" ward.

You are about to marry your enemy.

doggedfighter:
Hi, Acid ✋

How are you and yours ?

You all growing ?😊

We're growing, my dear. They're at their grandma/pa's for now, turning their house upside down. 🤭 I'm here, holding it together.

It's been a while. How're you?

emmaodet:
Apart from that, you have to be an investor to be able to read between the lines.
Yes, they generated 100% revenue compared to last year BUT what many don't know and what the media don't want them to know is that their cost of goods sold (COGS) is literarily close to 90% of revenue generated.
By the time you deduct all expenses to generate that revenue, you are left with little to nothing.
Just a meagre 3% on profit after tax.
I had their shares before but had to sell this january when i saw the 2024 financial report they released. To me, it was a waste of time and money. Had to buy more profitable company's shares.

Your depth of insight is great, boss. Thanks for the exposition. Like using #49m to generate #50m and claiming you earn more than someone who used #2m to generate #4m?

Very funny list. Nathaniel Bassey's Hallelujah Challenge went on for 30 days. The least streamed day had about a million views. Some close to 2m. Do the math and add that to his songs or simply edit your title to "songs" only. Stream for stream, then Nathaniel Bassey should be top 5.

Gospel Ministers like Dunsin Oyekan also have highly streamed events on YouTube beyond songs. Some of them earn more money from YouTube than your regular artistes.

Feldie:
yes. Melon soup and eba, rice and stew etc. Those are real foods

...according to you/your culture.
