Guy, no lie. You pass Economics for WAEC? You don hear of inflation before? 🤔

O level risk analysis will not help you here.

SmartPolician:
I hope the company doesn't fold without paying her the lifetime thingy. She should've collected all her money

Collect all the money, invest 80% in stocks and real estate. Use the rest to finance your education and lifestyle.

As if stocks dont crash or real estate doesnt collapse.

By the way, 1m gets you a beautiful house, car, huge bills and the rest will go down with bad investment.

SpencerForbes:
First off, it’s going to take her roughly 20 years to get a million bucks at the rate of $1k per week. So, why don't you just grab the twenty years' worth of payments right now and start planning your retirement? It’s like picking a quick 10k over getting a solid 500k—you can actually do something tangible with the bigger amount (rent, enough provision etc), but the small one won't even buy dinner for 2 days. Besides the company might crash before then.

Why not take the 1k a week are retire at 20. With 1k you live a normal life without ever worrying about basic needs of life. With 1m, the risk is left for risk specialist to calculate. 1m is a 1 time life changing event that 99% of people cant manage.

If 100 people get the exact opportunities dangote had, its possible to have zero replica of Dangote's success.

bigcasava1:
ask kaduna people, Jos people, benue people and kogi people

They have no idea. They should go to Kano and see the quantity of beer being consumed. Go to Gombe. Here in the south south, they dont drink beer, na just ogogoro.

One thing that will make it clear is that, you can live 1yr in the south and will not see someone drunk in the gutter. But in the north, thats daily.

SpencerForbes:
Women are actually drinking more alcohol than their men in the South-South and South-west😂

I think population size is the only thing preventing them from officially leading the whole country in consumption. If not for that, the South-South and South-East would have bagged the medal already.

States like Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Bayelsa especially... trust me, they absolutely do not play with their liquor down there 🙌The consumption levels are serious business.

The south east and south south have alcohol in their traditions. But when it comes to quantity of alcohol consumed, no where beats the North. We dont do ogogoro like the south but beer, we get people wey dey drink carton and drive home.

Whatever the north engages on, they top it.

Thats why he still remains behind. Aspire to be like Messi the G, and he will find himself above Ronaldo

In a sane society, her first statement should be an apology.

obinna58:
Barca is the problem here, over attacking

Very funny

The reason smuggling is still going on is because the value of the Naira has fallen. Nothing has changed for the business.

This government simply increase fuel price and reduced the value of the Naira making then still be able to afford it.

Danwakae:
To be appointed Hamas leader is suicidal.


I support two-state solution, I support the Palestinians... Say No to Hamas , they are enemies of the masses , the masses are there shield

I also support a 2 state solution and support the end to the loss of life but hate Hamas and what they think they stand for especially using civilians as sheild.

Bobloco:
The dramatic change in the inflation rate from 34% to 24% is clearly the epitome of Tinubu's 'bolekaja' economic policy prescriptions.

It's obvious that this wicked and draconian Tinubu regime will use the remaining two years to not only engage in outright lies, falsehoods, and propaganda but also force it down our throats.

We are doomed,

Valeur:
So CDS is Nigeria?
E remain you Mr.Minister... keep misbehaving.

You think the world isn't aware of the nonsense going on and you think those weak rebuttals from Tinubu's minions can sell your whited sepulchre?

So you think CDS will stand a chance of becoming an illegal immigrant. You think he will choose to stay in Canada and not return to Nigeria?

Dumb

Angelfrost:
Nope... He wasn't sure of victory, not by a long shot.

Over 70% of Nigerians were clamouring for his departure as at 2014... Obasanjo and Atiku's stance further made things worse.

He could have done like Buhari in 2019 but the man clearly didn't have the stomach for serious rigging.

INEC and the Judiciary were at his beck and call as the sitting president... All he had to do was give them instructions, and Buhari would never have gotten near that office.

Tinubu and Buhari have stronger wills and are more ruthless with power... We both know this.


Only Tinubu himself can prevent Tinubu from winning in 2027...!

Know this simple fact about your country, and know peace.

It is a known fact that Hausa and Fulani are the masters of politics. If they remain split the way they are, right now, Tinubu wins.

Let me tell you the facts:

1. Tinubu will be flag bearer of APC 2027 if he wants, no one can take it

2. If you see a marger of political parties among the northern political space and people moving out of APC. Tinubu will go back to lagos. This means their heads are not gathered in one place at the moment but if they do, Tinubu will go like GEJ.

3. By the end of this year, it will be clear if Tinubu will continue or not.

40yroldman:
Do you believe Tinubu's body language indicates a desire to extend his tenure beyond 2027?
Contrary to popular belief, Tinubu has no intention of reelection, though he will contest.
His primary focus is on accumulating immense wealth.

1000 likes

He is setting up things for himself that cant be undone by a new government.

Angelfrost:
Lol... Tinubu will win landslide in 2027.

Don't even bother your heads arguing this.

The election he could and should have lost was 2023 when Buhari was in office and they were not even in good terms.

The only thing that will make an incumbent lose is if he is no longer interested, like Jonathan in 2015.

These are the words that were used to bring down GEJ. He was sure of victory until he go the boot.

Quelme:
Necessity is the mother of all invention.

If beef is costly, there are alternatives like fish, mutton, lamb, chevron, pork, chicken etc. These are rich source of protein too.


Nigerians, una too like complain....

My friend just bought pork this morning. He lamented that what he used to buy for 1500 was what he got for 5k.

Its not just cow meat, its everything.

seunmsg:
Absolute nonsense from Daily Trust. You cannot confirm the status of a company by mere checking on the website of CAC. CAC website is never updated regularly. Even as an auditor, I can’t rely on information from CAC website as absolute proof of the current status of a company.

Daily Trust should write to CAC and do a legal search of the company. That’s the best way to get the necessary information. I can bet this is just a sponsored attack on the company by some vested interest.

I just wanted to say something but had a second thought because I may end up cursing.

Just have a rethink.

Former Secretary to the Kano State government, Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, has threatened to unveil details about Governor Abba Yusuf and his political mentor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.


https://dailypost.ng/2025/01/10/kano-i-have-voice-video-evidence-thatll-expose-gov-yusuf-kwankwaso-sacked-ssg-bichi/

IKano politicians, beware of this man.

He should never hold public office again. He needs to be arrested for blackmailing a governor after he was sacked by the governor. There is motive for blackmail.

Cajal:
Olodo
Ado bayero 1 vs NNPP 0
Some one appealed his removal and won

Wrong

Its just a delay tactic. State govt and Sanusi won at the state high court, returning to the same place without saying anything reasonable is just delaying justice.

AlphaNugget:
Imagine the Judiciary making this childish mistake...... didn't the Judge read through the court processes and didn't he notice the absence of a proof of service from the Court's Bailiff?

Rubbish

What you dont understand is, imagine if there was substituted service because Bayero couldn't be served physically, Bayero has APC in his corner and the courts in their pockets. It is obvious that Bayero and all he has in is pocket is federal might bent of frustrating anything on the way.

This ruling shows that the appeal court is compromised and have decided to tamper justice with a retrial when its not needed.

Remember, Bayero went to Federal high court and Sanusi/State govt went to state High court. Bayeros camp knows what its doing and found the flimsiest excuse to force the State high court to retry the case after they initially insisted the case is a federal one and refused to defend themselves in the state court.

Its possible there was substituted service and they are denying it while the appeal court believes them because they are all cohorts. Its just a legal/power game.

The appeal court knows the right thing but have decided to play deaf

Update147:
Good day nairalanders.

Please I noticed my gf has this offensive smell during sex. I'm wondering how best can I tell her so I won't end up hurting her feelings and also what can we do to get rid of this offensive smell ?

From my experience:

1. Women that wee wee without washing with water smell

2. Women that recently had sex with condom will smell

3. Women that recently had sex without protection and sperm was deposited MIGHT smell

4. Women that bleach certainly smell

5. Women that eat a lot of garlic or onions will smell

6. Some women smell naturally

7. Women with bad toilet habit will smell eg wiping from back to front or using tissue to wipe the back

8. Women with multiple sex partners will definitely smell

9. Some women smell due to medical reasons beyond my knowledge.

Please, before you tell her, make sure its not 6 cos you will affect her confidence and she might not be able to do anything about it.

I fking hate that smell.

Odafe360:
I posted a previous topic about my divorce with my wife and i got alot of advice on this platform which really encouraged & have me strength.

I'm really grateful for the nairaland community. The only issue i'm still battling with right now is how to move on, i'm trying everyday to forget the past, but the more i try, the more it's becoming fresh in my heart and the pains too. I won't lie to you it's difficult. Sincerely sometimes i cry and the thoughts of ending my life comes and goes. I don't drink, I don't smoke, neither do i womannize and worst of all i don't have much friends cos I'm more of an introvert.

A snippet of the entire problem is that most times we have an issue and she leaves the house, i've always been the one going to speak to her mum, plead and bring them back home, that's why whenever there's problem and she goes back to her mom's place, nobody from her family would contact me to even hear my side because I've become like a fool to them cos they know i'll still come. This last one that she left, we just had a little issue and she packed a her things and left. So many people not to go to her family house and beg this time around since i didn't send them packing. I swear guys, i've forgiven and tolerated what 90% of men won't forgive nor tolerate from her.

Please guys help a brother with more advice, how do i move on?

Do you know there is a possibility you can get back your wife?

Let me tell you how. Your wife has to see and know that you have moved on and very happy without her.

Go get a sweet beautiful younger girl who can cook and dress to kill. Even if you dont drink, you can hang out, take your girlfriend and her friends out as much as you can.

In summary, do what your wife thinks you cannot do. Be happy and have a beautiful loving woman or women.

She will definitely know you are happy. Her family will hear you are living well and happy. It will mean their daughter was the reason you were not happy.

To them, you are a loser, prove them wrong.

Proudlycanadian:
I honestly believe Nigeria will get better by 2025. Just say amen and pass. Affirm it

If I say Amen, that means I believe, but i dont.

Melagros:
COMRADES, if this tax wahala finally comes to a compromise, the most benefiting states will be
Beyelsa
Rivers
Lagos
Delta
Akwa Ibom
Kano, 'somehow'
FCT

And we all Nigerians pay more tax.

TriCee:
Lol, social media will really end a lot of uncultured people's career.
No longer business as usual.

Watch and see how they will blame the assaulted couple and clear the general.

They defend theirs at all cost.

I was there last week, they are still erecting scaffolding.

Please my people, calm down, he doesn't mean to say December 2024, he means December, 2027 PROBABLY.

Just saying so that you will not think he is lying.

Lamasta:
You better take care of your dad and stop being influenced negatively by your Mum....

Its my mum that will start listing things i must do for my father. My dad doesn't know how to ask me for anything. My mum will ask me for something, once she sees alert, she call to say thank you but what of your father?

We will go to the village, she will be telling me in the ear, "give this woman something", "give that man something", this one use to do this or that, that one used to buy you biscuit when you were a child. Chai!!

But I will go away happy that I saw smiles in the eyes of people even with as small as 1k.

amazinghands:
I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.

Background:
I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.

2010:
While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)

2016:
I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.

On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.

Fast Forward to Today:
I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.

Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.

Am I in the wrong here?

My kind of person would leave the past in its place and do what I can do.

That he gave birth to you and was there for you through college, he has done what 80% of fathers cannot do especially in the Nigeria of today. Count it as he has fulfilled his responsibilities towards you. That he failed one doesn't erase the love, care and pride that he has for and on you, neither should you love nor care less. In fact, you should be proud to go over and beyond to get more of his blessings and make him proud for the little (not so little) he has done.

If doing anything for him wont break your back, please do.

He is a lost case. We just need to be patient till 2027.

How can FG prioritize education for children when its the responsibility of LGA's?

WorkTheTalk:
Lagos: N249.77bn

What did you expect when all the important companies in Nigeria have their head offices in Lagos, and pay VAT there, instead of their production and consumption bases?

Just imagine oil companies exploring, drilling and doing oil transactions in Akwa Ibom State, but go to Lagos state to pay VAT just because their head offices are in Lagos. It has always being a lopsided arrangement to cheat the minority.

At the end, you would hear some illiterates telling people from other regions to leave Lagos, and go back to their states not knowing that majority of the development in Lagos came from those states.

Exactly, besides that, the revenue collected in Lagos was created by the federal government. All the roads and infrastructure, electricity, seaport, airports etc that made Lagos the centre for commerce actually belongs to FG and at large the common wealth of the country. It is an undue advantage to give that 60% common wealth of Nigeria to Lagos while the states thaf produces agricultural produce have zero support from FG and still isn't taxed.

It was the same scenario when states were allowed to reconstruct federal roads and get reimbursed. Rich states like Akwa Ibom took advantage and the FG owned them billions. This just created a situation where rich states got more road projects indirectly funded by the FG without the federal principles of wealth distribution. This bill will do exactly that.
