You don't love him. Stop forcing it.

The game is simple. Come out to say that N180m was stolen. Come back after few days to claim that you have recovered N78m. Come back again to claim that another N50m has been recovered. Keep the "irrecoverable balance" of N52m in your pocket and get some praises from your fanboys for at least recovering the sum of N128m. Nigerians will praise him for recovering at least 70% of the "stolen" funds. Ahahah

Loan approved and disbursed since July 2024? Why are we reporting this in December?

Edo/Delta women ehnn. No filter at all

A sane country would have thrown this man in prison a long time ago. You built him this, you built him that.. at whose expense? Rivers state people. Zero accountability, and no one is saying anything.

Nigerian presidents will rather die than let their fanboys know their diagnosis.

To me it's nothing since the brothers are in the village and not in the same city with you. But
If u won't wear it, don't give it out so soon.. leave it for a long time before giving it out,by then she must have forgotten about it and won't feel bad.

Then you don't know women

Being with someone for 6 years is more than enough to know their likes and dislikes. Take this as a challenge to build your marriage and make it better.

What is then the hope of the common man?

Finance experts say ones rent shouldn't be more than 3 months salary, with the way it's going, people will have over 4 months of their income going for rent. Or they move to far places like Ijanikin, Ogun state....

Moving to far places is by far the only way to cope. Things are really bad and no sector is exempted.

Those who are not currently searching for an apartment should just try to save up for future relocation plans.

Esthered:
Are you serious about 1m not getting a good miniflat at Ogba when Aguda was 800k in February and now 1.2m for modern houses.

With a budget of 1 million, an agent would need to search further into Ogba suburbs like Obawole, Oke Ira, Fagba, Iju, and so on. One thing I have come to realise in the real estate/accommodation sector in Lagos is that the places we thought were more affordable are not actually so.

Esthered:
Why this assertion sir?

"Lion no fit born goat" 🙂

cococandy:
Is ogba supposed to be a highbrow area? Cos the pictures I’m seeing tell me otherwise. Why are they charging more than the other areas you mentioned?

Ogba is not a highbrow area at all, but it is relatively close to the capital, Ikeja. I live in one of Ogba’s suburbs, where rent is still cheaper than in Ogba itself. However, even here, there are no decent (modern) mini-flats available for less than 500k anymore. There are cheaper apartments, but they wouldn’t be much different from what you see in those pictures. What you see in Ogba is just a reflection of many other parts of Lagos Mainland - a mix of old, dilapidated, and modern houses, all struggling to breathe in the same environment.

Most of the other areas I mentioned border Ogun State, while the rest are simply too far from business districts. Roads are another major factor to consider.

Bold of you to think that your mom is unaware of her husband's cheating habits.

Most of the advice on this thread will scatter your home.

So, what can you do? ignore.

Can you respect him despite this discovery? No, you can't.

Will you also cheat on your spouse someday? 85% yes, and that's when you will begin to "respect" your father again.

You sef no try. You dey find miniflat for 500k at Ogba. 😂 Even with 1m, what you'll get will be close to a poultry house or at best a crowded old house.

To get something decent for 500k, you will need to move to Mowe, Alagbole, Agbado, Iyana-Iba side, Akute, Ajuwon, or just kukuma go Abeokuta or Ibadan. Nothing dey Lagos again. If you've been living in your house before Tinubulation, just remain there in the name of whatever God you serve.

The cost of rent has doubled/trippled in the last 10 months. But you will never know until you make the move to get a new apartment.

dawnomike:
If you're in Lagos state, the court is your best bet!

Taking your landlord to court over rent increment, IMO, is a d u m b move. What happens after winning the case? Continue to live peacefully in the same house with your landlord? Just pray never to meet a c r a z y landlord. If they don't frustrate you physically, you will definitely face greater spiritual problems.

ehikwe22:
That's not the point. The point is that they don't have strong leadership. Do you think China got to where they are today by disgracing every president out of office? Or that Russia became a global force once again after their decline to non entity by disgracing their leaders out of office?

If all leaders are disgraced oit of office, then they have a leadership problem. It's either their institution is faulty or they don't have any strong leadership or both.

The problem is that you looked at it from a single point without balancing it

I'm not sure whether Russia or China uses the conventional democratic system of government as we've seen in South Korea.

Nobody will complain about our legislators if we all agree to adopt dictatorship.

ehikwe22:
Something is wrong with this country. All last presidents are disgraced from office and imprisoned most of the times. They need serious deliverance

The fact that a president can face criminal charges is a hallmark of a sound country. Name one Nigerian president who has ever faced criminal charges or sat before a judge, just one.

If Jacob Zuma, former South African president, can be imprisoned with handcuffs on both hands, what reason is there for that Daura man to still walk free today? Zuma didn’t commit a quarter of the atrocities we witnessed under Buhari. But hey, we live in a country of 'ranka dede', where people believe elders and ex-presidents should be immune to past, present, and future crimes.

A sane, democratic society, unlike a certain country where legislators kneel to greet a drunken governor. The governor, in turn, uses these submissive, weak, clownish legislators to grab land and steal the wealth of his people.

South Africans should stop demarketing their country 😀😀

kayperry:
and how many states have you visited to arrive at that conclusion

Incase you dunno every state has it own rich man area/partition, just like every state has GRA,

Buildings are not what determines poverty index, Nigerians are poor by per income and standard of living

Focus on the context of the discussion - "the number of Lambo Urus in Lekki."

blingxx:
Bro asin ..you know how many lambo urus Dey cruise lekki now ? Nigerians have money I swear

The only and major problem is that we don't have many Lekkis in Nigeria. If what you see in Lekki cannot be replicated in at least 15 other states, then Nigerians are poor.

So who is demarketing South Africa cos clearly, most of the e-rats hailing your stance now often describe you and your people as xenophobic criminals?

When it is time to organise high-profile, high-class events and owanbes for dignitaries, we always seem to ensure orderliness by deploying heavy security personnel and bouncers. Strict invitations and gate passes are also often used. So, why can’t the same measures be applied when organising events like this? To me, it reflects a broader disdain for the poor. How else can we get good photos for the gram without making the poor go through needless stress? We all know what we are doing.

You can’t simply go on the radio and television and announce open invitations and freebies for children or widows and expect orderliness, especially in a society dealing with unprecedented hunger and "palliativenisation" of our social fabric.

I am not sure which law might be applied against madam Prophetess even though this isn’t the first time we’ve witnessed something like this. Can never forget how the Nigerian Immigration Service invited 64,000 applicants to a 60,000-capacity stadium, killed seven people in the process and injured more than 50 others. Another government agency again organised another chaotic food distribution just this year that caused even more deaths. Yet none of the officers involved in these events were sacked or punished. They all retained their positions.

On this simple basis, madam Prophetess should be freed. If the government would not do anything about this problem at the policy level, then the poor must henceforth borrow themselves some sense. If you have to risk your life and push others to their death just to eat, then your problems are probably bigger than you ever imagined.

Zooposki:
After this happens, they are no longer useful to society and they flood Christian dominated areas making a nuisance of themselves, so yes, non Muslims should also be concerned. Once you guys have a separate country of your own you can demand it all you like, no one will give a rats ass and we non Muslims won’t have to subsidize your sharia law.

Another got his wrist amputated for stealing a bicycle. Meanwhile, the man who brought Sharia to the state and, by extension, Nigeria, stole $7 million from his state coffers and was granted bail.

TheNiceGuy:
That'll be your Faith if you steal and it worth you are amputated. This is under where there's full scale of Shari'ah law not hear.

If that's your fear, then you're a criminal.

I'm not a criminal, I don't steal so I have nothing to fear about Shari'ah

The man who instituted sharia in Nigeria, which led to the amputation of a little boy for stealing a phone and the amputation of another young man who stole a bicycle, later went ahead to steal N1 billion (over $7 million based on 2007 exchange rate) and was taken to a normal court of law to face trial where he was later granted about N100m bail as opposed to his beloved Sharia court.

One of the greatest reproach that can befall anyone in the 21st century is sharing the same society with a fundamental and radical Muslim like you. Una don really crase.

Esthered:
You're laughing sir. You know how family can be sometimes, only very strong-willed people push back.

Merry Christmas to you and your amazing girls. God bless you for all your sacrifices.

Everyone needs to be strong-willed, my dear, rather than being a pushover. I think oftentimes, we do things and take certain actions mainly to impress family. That in itself is not bad, but going as far as sharing garri (not out of creativity, but due to lack) is just not it at all. I would respect someone who decides not to party at all rather than one who shares ridiculous items like agbo concoctions.

Thank you so much, dear. Merry Christmas to you too. I wish you the very best this season.

Esthered:
Remembrance, family get-together...

Well... 😂

Reality dawning . His Excellency actually answered most of the questions with humor

Shop at mart instead of mall

Annoyingly, those who are privilege hardly patronize road side sellers. They keep on giving their money to the capitalist . Buying fresh fruits at road side compared to mall or mart is almost 10% difference

Lately, I have been deliberately buying some things at the road side just to boost the economy

What is this? Your own idea of local economy is road side petty trading? Ah. You want to boost "local economy" (whatever that means), but don't want to patronise local companies that are responsible for employment, real estate, VAT, and personal income tax?

You want to replace Bokku (founded by Adewale Adeyemi) and Justrite malls (founded by Dr Ayodele Aderinwale and co) and their 1000+ employees with mama Nkechi and Iya Basira's 2x2 kiosk? Is this how you want to develop Nigeria? Is this what you see on TV in civilised societies?

Never seen a d u m b e r take in my life tbh. This una yeye party sha. Is this how you want to waste another 8 years of your life on this failed party? 8+8+ (8 again)?

Why?

1) Some felt he was too arrogant to talk to Nigerians but he did

2) Some Nigerians believe he cannot talk without balabluing but he did.

3) Some Nigerians felt he isn't in charge of the running of the country but this showed that he knows the policies he's implementing.

4) The fact that he invited even so called opposition media such as Abati of Arise impressed me

5) He even challenged the journalists to mention any non performing minister and they all kept mute meaning most of his critics arent bold to say it to his face.

Being a strong critic of Tilumbu I must admit he scored some good points by doing this.

Will any of these points count in a civilised society? Omo, Naija is a finished country. It takes only a nonentity to impress you guys.

I understand the fact that Buhari lowered the bar to point zero, but omo!
