Praying to God to do what? What do you want God to do, sir? Enough of this vain, meaningless prayers without purpose.

Waste of time.

Make an irresistible offer. Buy that house. It is not compulsory to be a landlord. He can be a tenant and live well.

Acid please. 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂

But you have never stood against our political oppressors. You don't have sense.

People don't understand the damage APC has done to Nigerians. I know some will exonerate their political gods, but incessant robbery cases are very potent signs of a failing economy and security system. I moved into an apartment in the first week of August, and within seven weeks, burglars invaded the building three times. The scariest was the second incident. These guys broke my burglary proof at 3 a.m., got into my kitchen, and only one closed door was left between them and me, but they couldn’t get through. Now I’m forced to leave the apartment just two months after moving in. How else do people get broke again?

Okay, the experience messed up my mind, so I decided to cool off in my home state for a while. I got there, and it was one banditry story after another. There is a curfew in the town, and everyone is terrified. This is the country the criminals in Abuja have delivered to Nigerians, and you can’t even complain without one or two animals trying to shut you up. Even the animals in the criminal party are also dropping dead, but do they care? No, they don't.

May your soul rest in peace, Somtochukwu.

LagosOrigin:
Nigeria may never recover from up-rising so let's not go that route.

Yeah, we will recover from corruption in the year 2295.

Truthseeker10:
now that you've mentioned Nigeria, is Nigeria the only country were righteous people suffer?

Can you mention any country where "righteous" people do not suffer?

Remember you made this about Nigeria? In my first post, there was no mention of any country.

MaxInDHouse:
Nigeria's problem is not about the leaders or lawmakers the fact remains that 99% of Nigerians are wicked people and since you can't bring foreigners to lead or make laws here it's from among the wicked people leaders and lawmakers were selected.

If the 1% nice finds a way into the group of leaders and lawmakers the 99% will oppress, intimidate and persecute them in fact they will flush them out of the system unless they succumb to pressure.

So for Nigerians to have a fair chance to life the change must starts from each home not from the leaders whom you choose among the wicked generation!

Quality leadership is the fastest way to change the narrative. Expecting over 200 million Nigerians to change their ways is an exercise in futility. It is easier for 10 leaders to transform the country than for 20 million households. Have you not seen countries where visionary leadership changed the narrative , Singapore, for instance?

Have you bloggers not done enough damage to this lady? What is her business with 2face's mother?

Truthseeker10:
So apart from this particular country, people who suffer elsewhere are not righteous people?

So you agree that Nigeria is the only country with lawless and useless lawmakers and leaders?

Paying taxes to political fraudsters should be made a crime.

Remarrying after nine months of his passing seems too soon. However, you also need to understand that the longer someone has been in a relationship or marriage, the harder it becomes to live life alone. So, being with your brother for ten years does not mean she can easily go through life as a single mother for the next ten years. It is often easier for someone who was married for just a year to continue life alone than it is for someone who had been married for a decade.

I am neither for nor against her choice, because I understand how difficult it may have been for her. I only hope she is not making a serious mistake out of confusion or because of her current state of mind. As someone who has experienced this, I can relate. The key reason remarriage has not crossed my mind, and may never do, is because of the good women who provide support.

Also, bear in mind that her husband was sick for how many years again? 2? Most of you may have already anticipated his death, and for that reason, her grieving process may not have been as prolonged or difficult as it would be for someone who lost a spouse suddenly in a tragic accident.

Death is always difficult to process, especially for the immediate family. The pain you feel right now is completely normal as his sister. But then even if she decided to wait ten years, some members of your family would still be upset. Her "progress" will always seem to upset some people. So, just take courage in the fact that death is inevitable and a debt for everyone. Lastly, make sure you remain close to your niece. God be with you.

The criminal party and their agents will never publish the names and amount donated.

PR

He sells depression, so he needs to give that depressive impression about his new album.

...because the righteous found themselves in a country with useless leaders, useless lawmakers, and useless law enforcement agencies.

SeraphicWind:
Welcome to Nigeria sir.

They should have permanently seized it and converted it to a students lodge or an events centre owned by the government.

Or even better, a PUBLIC HOSPITAL, SCHOOL OR PLAYGROUND.

The cultist will repossess the property under a new government. We have seen this script severally in Nigeria. All they need to do is to promise a strong contender in the next election some stolen ballot boxes and violence.

I support the demolition 100%. It sends a strong signal to other "wealthy" cultists that everything they think they possess can be pulled down in minutes.

We must learn to adopt local solutions to our local problems.

Acidosis, remember our discussion the other day.

This is small compared to what you see in so called elite schools that will give your child the connections you think he or she need to surge forward. And it happen all over the world.
Teachers do not have a say at all. Talk anyhow, they will report you to their parents and you will be sa'cked.

Hmmn... It's terrifying honestly

samwash:
This is a good innovation kudos to the inventor.
From the video, I think ones the guy blink/close his eyes it triggers the alarm,which not suppose to be so. It has to modified further in which there should be a sensor that will be working with the brain and the eyes to detect when the person want to fall asleep.
There is still many rooms for improvement.

👍👍👍

Acid, low self esteem has been part of Nigeria since colonization. It was systematically put in place to checkmate through religion and religious dogmas. We are still struggling and fighting for self realisation and actualization

Religion did what Internet is doing now but religion used force, war and intimidation, Internet is doing that but making you believe you own your mind and decisions, what religion never did.

Almost all colonial masters are now atheist countries. Eg British. People do not know but Britain is no longer a Christian country. Islam saw the opportunity and viam

I completely agree. We are still struggling with the impact of colonisation till date. Our leaders have also made very little efforts to correct the anomalies

Gerrard59:
I agree with everything you have stated. However, the way to overcome the challenge of poor exposure is via the Internet. I am one of those who went to a no-name school because I wasn't allowed to leave my state of residence, but with constant voracious research and reading online articles, I overcame the school aspect. I have participated in EduBridge Financial Class, and honestly, I was the only student who studied at a university in Eastern Nigeria. The majority were ABUAD, UI, UNILAG and of course, CU.

Finance plays a huge role, rather than just the name of the school. I could afford trips to Lagos whenever I wanted. I had a place to live. Most importantly, the drive and ambition led me to EduBridge. I have conversed with accounting students from a sister university, and they did not know what KPMG and PwC were all about. Ordinarily, they should have as their school had a bigger name than mine. But I knew about the Big4 more than them all thanks to the Internet.

My friend had participated in the US embassy-sponsored Grad Program, and he had taken the GRE, but because of his low score, he was not qualified. He saw the application online and applied. I have applied to a popular investment bank on behalf of a senior schoolmate who is a math guru. I saw the job ad in a WhatsApp group, told him he can be qualified because of his high grade. He gave me the go-ahead; I applied, and he got called up for the test. Interestingly, the ad stated they want First Class in Physics or Mathematics applicants but my schoolmate had a 4.46 CGPA in mathematics. I reasoned that with a stellar and American-style investment bank CV and cover letter, he would be called up, so I applied. Where did I see the CV template? On the Internet. He was the only one with a 2.1 out of 8 persons and the only grad from a uni East of the Niger.

Young people should learn to use the Internet for useful purposes. It is the greatest invention after electricity.

You're absolutely right. Being the only student from an eastern university already made you stand out. The real goal is to strive to have children who are willing to make that extra push, just like you did. But it becomes much easier when we put them in the right association and environment. Remember, biological factors also have a role to play. Some children are naturally laid-back, while some are goal-getter, meaning some people will thrive even in a wrong environment, while others need help. I strongly believe in the power of association and environmental factors.

I also believe in luck, but luck comes with very low probability, just like in the case of Jonathan, who attended a public primary school without shoes and later became president. Ideally, if he truly believed the same path guaranteed success, he would have made his child follow it. There are thousands of children who went through the same conditions and ended up as touts. For these folks, something influenced them - environment.

Amwitty:
I get your point but uni is very different from primary and secondary school. I will pay huge for my childrens uni education cause that's where they actually network just as you mentioned.

Another angle.

Cmanforall:
Some of the points you raised here were necessary those days, but with internet, any student who wishes to network can easily do that in a professional way.
I have mentored many I’ve never met in person, but their approach, messages or email tells how prepared they are to be mentored

You are right. Do you believe in the power of association? The right association can influence even the most laid-back person.

We can't really blame some parents. Some decisions we make early in life have long-lasting, if not eternal, impacts. There are certain schools you attend, and you just know that it will take only luck or the grace of God for one to rise above a certain level. The world is so competitive now.

Just last week on X, I saw some Nigerians regretting that they didn’t study Engineering in Unilag. Who wouldn’t? You just have to see the number of graduates getting jobs in top global companies like Bloomberg, Google, etc., straight after school. The same goes for their medical students. Their level of networking is just something else. While other people are hustling for NYSC, those ones have already completed their online interviews with Bloomberg, US medical schools, etc. I've read the same pattern with CU students.

Same education as someone who studied the same course in e.g., faraway Taraba State, but the networking, friendship? That’s what makes the difference.

As long as they’re not doing it blindly or getting into needless debt or blind competition, omo, we can’t really blame them. Many adults today developed low self-esteem because of their poor background. By poor, it doesn’t necessarily mean lack of money, but poor exposure and mentality.

ComeToJesus:
The long distance man likes drama. Does his phone not have video function for him to propose on video or possibly paste a picture of the girl and kneel down to propose to the pix, thereafter, send the picture to her?

Must you do all this?

Rules and marital arithmetics will choke you. There are many married men contributing 90% and more, yet they do chores and pay for extra services (maid, cleaner, etc.).

So, a phone can get damaged, but cows don't die?Nice. These sorts of comparison do not appeal to logical people and realists. By the way, a content creator who thinks an iPhone 17 will get him or her better content should dump the idea and instead, buy a cow?

LoneSoldier:
Well kudos to the father...

I see a lot of people talking like ignorant people, how will someone say US is the most dangerous country in the world, when will have other countries like Iraq and Iran..... Okay, if US is the most dangerous country in the world, why is there justice system working?

They are ignorant. More than 85% of the people In Nigeria today and the rest of the world will leave their country for the US if given the opportunity, but yeah, the US is the most "dangerous" country in the world.

Also, "white" people are evil and racist, but give 100 black men the chance to choose a U.S. state, 99 will avoid black-dominated communities.

Good. Nothing justifies that cold-blooded murde; absolutely nothing at all. "Vile" or unpleasant words should be countered with words, not with guns.

I went through some of his videos and tweets, and to be honest, most of the time this man is simply doing online evangelism and speaking for Christians worldwide, including those in Nigeria who remain rigidly bound by ignorance.

zero8zero:
We knew it, the only thing about you is destruction!. "Since our fraud lost the election, let's destroy everything".. that's your only goal.

The only reason you make that statment is because, as usual, you think the Igbos are the only people opposing Tinubu government and also, whoever is not yoruba must be Igbo so you shallowly assumed that any protest outside Lagos must be in Anambra. There's no Abuja, Kogi, Benue, etc. According to you, you don't think that your taxmasters would be affected in any, if for example, Igala youths decide to protest and shut down Lokoja-Abuja road for two weeks. You really think there's a state in this country that runs or can survive in isolation.
