Same here, i come dy think say my account has bn hacked

Same here, I tried to login several times but no code from WhatsApp or SMS.

Sermon1:
How many of us have noticed we can't currently log in to our Facebook account?

Like many have complained of being logged out and not having access to be logged in.

Tell us your experience.

I spent the last 20 mins trying to log back in after I
saw Session expired, thinking I was hacked or something until I searched online.

education? Are you joking? Pls come to Abuja and see educated youths doing drugs.... Educating her on drug abuse like u said would be of help.... Even NDLEA don't arrest people who do drugs to jail, they rehabilitate them... They only arrest people who sell drugs

If hisbah is going after rich people kids 2, nobody will complain or is it only d poor people dat break the law?

You missed my point. Education before a youth becomes an adult is what I mean.

Most people who have drug issues are not poor. So the problem is not poverty.

Judolisco:
The governor only said stop behaving like animals when arresting people.... Must you act uncivilised..... D yeye hisbah dat is only limited to the poor....

Their issue is the timing. That arrest issue happened a while ago but the governor didn't comment until Murja incident. She was also his supporter so the people just concluded he is looking for a subtle way to criticize.

My own take is that Hisbah has been violating constitutional rights. The governors timing was absolutely absurd. He should have reached the Commander privately or as at the time the incident happened. On Murja, she is just a loud mouthed girl who is probably on drugs.

Unfortunately, I knew before this happened that Hisbah was bitting more than it could chew. To catch a pig, be ready to step in the mud. Hisbah reputation is in the mud after dragging Murja in the mud.

I think Hisbah should re-strategize and tell themselves their boundaries. Hausa girls are seriously into drugs, All Hisbah has achieved is a show of force for religious chastity, however, true religious chastity is a personal thing and the focus is the home. Hausa parents need to tasked. Check out, she didn't complete secondary school, what did they expect? They should also focus on educating the younger generation and making sure youths go to school. If Murja was educated, this will not happen.

Thislifee:
He saw you and begged for 1k?

That's what I gave him.

HRMK:
even if he doesnt can the VC be in control of the type of money allocated to chairman of a local government?

You must be joking!

LG monthly allocations is averagely 160million. Some LGs are as low as 60million a month. Do you know how much of that is salaries?

You what to compare that to a whole university?

You need to research

Thislifee:
do you think it's easy to be a professor? Am doing my PhD now and it isn't easy.

Is it easy to win a local government election? Do you know how many people died trying to get there. How many people died just because they are doing PhD?

How much do you spend to become a Professor compared to what you need to spend to become LG chairman?

Do you know the number of curses on their heads. In my local government, since 1999, no chairman has become anything better in life after office. First chairman, ended up in prison while in office because of a rift with the governor, died immediately after his tenure. He died poor. The second chairman lost his leg few months after the election. He has nothing today, he saw me recently and begged for 1k to complete his transport fare. I can go on and on.

Leave politics alone and face your books.

Thislifee:
I have always been thinking of this whether a local government chairman earn more than a university vice-chancellor.

I have instances. My ex-school mate father was a vice chancellor of a one federal university like that then but they weren't that wealthy as I expected or is he faking it?

I just met this friend I met during NYSC, he wasn't a corper but an aide to a local government chairman politician. He loves giving me money but I don't like collecting money from people(I love my self respect). This young man of 28 years took me to his duplex which was brand new. He is driving Lexus 350 tear rubber. He took me to a four storey building he built. He is married but when I met the wife she was newly pregnant like 3 months. I keep letting this politician know how life haven't been fair to me etc like I find it hard to get federal jobs. He told me he would have given me a job in the local government if I was the same state with him. He told me he would put me on in politics if we were from his state. I really want to know if a local government chairman is richer than a VC.

My ex school mate that his father was a VC couldn't secure a job for me then his father was VC upon I begged everyday on WhatsApp to him. I felt sad this guy couldn't help me because we were friends in secondary school and he is a stingy person too.

Does a local government chairman of a rich local government earn more than a vice chancellor of a federal university?

A local government chairman earns in a single tenure of 4years max and gets through other ways more money than a professor but in 30years a professor is richer.

I think professors don't appreciate what they have.

NikoDeBonAmi:
So as a young bachelor that just moved into a new apartment, a next door neighbor who happens to be a single female brought this bowl of afang soup as a show of warm welcome.

Would you accept it?

Your rent has doubled.

Confirm if she is not the landlord's daughter.

Dobodobo04:
We are at a critical junction; if we provide this electricity for all, there are numerous benefits but vandals and people building underneath transmission cable stand in the way.

It’s an engineering and a social problem. Do u agree?

What I would suggest is we bury the cables prone to vandalism underground and run cables we can guard overhead.

Burying transmission cables underground is expensive, I know but we can do it only to vulnerable sections.

People shouldn’t build underneath cable lines anyway, so we tell them to move and compensate them. We deter and warn future builders not to build underneath.

I don't see an engineering problem, social yes. The purpose of engineering is providing solutions to problems in our daily lives. While we struggle to provide this solution of electricity which is the main responsibility, vandals are taking us back. Imagine if engineers direct their energy to anti-vandalism, it is for sure that cost will prevent any headway.

Good that you realize it's expensive, you have even underestimated the cost. It's not practicable with High voltage for long distance. It will be over ten times the cost of overhead conductors. Conductors heat up with high voltage, underground requires serious insulation, this same insulation will prevent heat decipation thereby causing heat issues and limitations.

Secondly, there is no transmission line that has ever been constructed in Nigeria without paying compensation. I have seen people who got compensation and still encroached with a new building and sued for compensation again while construction of the line was in progress.

Dobodobo04:
We can’t make excuses that our fathers and grandparents made that made us where we are today.

These infrastructures are life changing, so either we succeed in guarding them or not build them at all.

New mentality!! No excuses. It’s not like we are putting man in the moon.

There are different types of people, u and me and others. You are the type who says "no excuses" let's do it and end up achieving nothing, I am the type who analyse risk and rewards against my income and priorities before anything. There are bunch of others who start before running their analysis then abandon.

Guarding them from who, by who and at who's costs. The same Nigerians the complain no electricity are the same Nigerians the cut the cables at night. If they put security and ask you to pay double of what u pay for electricity u will shout sapa. Which other advance country puts security on transmission lines. I know India and some countries who have the issue with vandals, did they put security? Go and check.

There is a particularly line I know that Govt wants to change the cable from the 1970's cable to a more efficient one. The entire line has houses under it!! Just less than 10km within a city. If that line should cut and fall on those houses, casualties will be in hundreds. Tell me why Nigerians built under a live transmission line against the safety of their lives. Tell me when such houses where built 20+ years ago, why didn't the state stop them?

Asking questions makes one understand, but assumptions is the mother of all f.ups.

Hmmmm

I understand you.

There are people who don't want to hear "it's impossible". Sometimes it's because they don't understand the difficulties and sometimes they are correct because those who they encountered are not capable of thinking beyond the challenges.

Engineering is my profession and my profession works with limits which are boundaries of our minds. If I can't logically think it, it's impossible.

If a suggestion looks unreal to the best of my analysis, I will tell you to shelf it. Unreal sometimes means cost Vs desire. Cost can never be above desire. If cost is above desire, it's impossible in the engineering sense.

Engineering is aimed at making life easier, but at what cost. Once the cost of a project exceeds it's usefulness, it's not worth it.

If the cost of paying electricity bill is higher than buying and running a generator, who will depend o NEPA?

Dobodobo04:
Let me ask a question, since you know the industry well, how deep do cables in Nigeria reach?

1metre or 0.5 metre?

Deep? It's overhead.

Dobodobo04:
You don’t need soldiers guarding it but can attach sensors to the cables that detect proximity excavation.

Proximity sensors, are you for real? The sensor on towers close to highways for eg will have false alarm every second. The one that is completely in the bush, what if a hunter, farmer, wild animals etc comes near? Proximity sensors will just create false alarm to a magnitude that no one can take it seriously when the actual vandals operate out of the blue with months in between attacks.

The sensors alert the control room and you send patrol vehicles there ASAP. If not patrol vehicles, drones.

If the vandals can access the cables, why can’t security operatives also be able to?

You missed the point. Out of the 250km Kaduna - Kano Transmission line for eg, how can monitoring be possible if in a year i.e 365days vandals decide to vandalise at km183? in just one night. The probability of that happening is 1/365 x 1/250. This is not a kind of probably u put soldiers to protect

You need to catch a few of these vandals, make a great scapegoat of them and words will get around that a new sheriff is in town.

Vandals get caught sometimes but that's like 1 out of 100 attacks. Most times they get caught, a good, educated, vigilant member of the society informs security. They operate at night, to tell you the funny thing, most vandals are either former staff or are trained and know electricity workers and how everything works. They do it at a time no one can mobilize. TCN linesmen don't work in the night, they are off duty and will fault trace only in the morning. Most times they don't arrive until vandals are long gone. Most times they don't know if the line is vandalised until they get there.

If these vandals are getting shot on sight, it will stop ASAP.

Lastly, the lack of progress in Nigeria is not just leadership, we all are responsible.

Dobodobo04:
These people are just damn incompetent!!

Stealing of cables isn’t a unique problem to Nigeria alone.

Look at how other countries deal with it and do likewise.

You can’t invest billions on infrastructures and leave it at the mercy of vandals!!

Carve out military men from the armed forces, train them, equip them with modern gadget to protect our valuable infrastructures like cables, pipelines, telecoms structures, etc.

No more excuses!!!!

You have no idea how vandals operate.

How many soldiers do you think can guard say Kaduna-Kano 330kv line alone which is nearly 250km. Remember, the right of way is not even motorable.

Chetas81:
but he already in embarrassing situation

Embarrassing situation?

Embarrassing situation is when people who respect you know that you have not satisfied your wife. When your pastor knows details of your home. Your parents or siblings know about your sex life.

Anyone who knows you like that will judge you in his mind.

Rule of thumb, never discuss your life with any outsider of a relationship.

Coolsat:
Some men sha

You go Dy chase babes outside while leaving an unsatisfied wife at home, not a good thing.

If your love and gbola can't go round enough without complain from your women please stick to one woman.

The problem is she isn't putting spice to the marriage. She mentioned religion and value of her body. It means she doesn't jump up to hug him when he comes home or sit on his lap or take a bite of his food.

She wants him but she is laid back expecting him to know what she wants.

santaclaws:
You need to tell all these to someone close to him, like his family members or his mother. You need to let him know that if he doesn't change, you may not be able to endure him anymore...

Also, if you have a decent pastor (not fake ones), you can explain to him so he can counsel you and your husband.

Bad idea. Very very bad advice.

This is against the first lesson of marriage counselling - communication.

That's bring 3rd parties in a marriage and embarrassing him.

Queendiamond398:
My husband prefers been busy on his phone with his numerous exes, divorcee and single ladies than gisting with me if we are together, i have always want him to have peace of mind but it seems he doesnt think of that about me

Am begining to find peace gisting with his friend anytime he comes to visit, some persons may say i saw the handwriting on the wall before i married him,Hell NO! .He succeded in making me chase all my friend both male and female away but now have numerous to chat with and laugh and please himself.

He thinks his smart but i pity him, is just my home training that is limiting me to do some kind of evil things ,we will go for party or club he will leave me and go and be sitting in midst of other ladies, while some men will come and sit with me and making advances at me and he doesnt know. Some of his friends that are as useless as him and come with their wives or Fiance doesnt know young and energetic men do have quickie with their wives at the rest room

My religion and the way i value my body can't make me to stooop so low to do all those things but why will a man choose to neglect the wive to be dieing of boredom .

Because of lack of attention my Male Colleagues always try to take advantage of that and be chatting with me till midnight without him even seeing it.

We lived in a separate room that this his attitude can make someone to be cheating without him knowing but i dont want to do that Please someone should help me out
Please am dieing slowly i have confronted him so many times but he will tell me i dont have the right to tell him what to do

Do you have kids, I don't think so. It sounds like your marriage is not old.

Why do you sit beside him while he is chatting? Stand up and twerk. Sit on his lap and make out. Don't give him space.

You want him to initiate romance, you guys are married now, ditch that laid back attitude and involve yourself in finding peace and happiness.

Sex is not meant for bed alone. Value your body you say? How can you be married and value your body more than your husband?

beardedboy:
Is this the law or a tip for avoiding murder and harassment?

Unwritten law.

How many times have you seen a presidential convoy? You need to encounter it to know that such laws are not written.

CBN convoy (blue), you should never attempt to overtake.

VIP, including governors, ministers, military Generals, police senior officers etc it's a bad idea.

You can't even be on the road with the president, the police will block the road 15-30minutes to ETA.

Prisons black Maria (actually green) is a no no.

If these people actually stopped to harass you, then they were busy bodies.

No convoy that actually carries something important stop for anything or anyone. Unless the actual vehicle that carries the important person or thing breaks down.

If you were a threat, stopping means you have achieved your threat. They deserve punishment for oppressing and harassing you.

I have overtaken a convoy of over 20cars of the Nigerian army between Kaduna to Zaria. It was difficult but I did it without them pointing a finger. I had to just find a long stretch because they won't let you in if there is an oncoming car.

Police are the worst set of people in the hell of our country. Next are Doctors and Nurses.

A man reveals how jealous his girlfriend got after another woman complimented the beauty of his hair.

Narrating the story in pictures, he explained how another woman rubbed his hair and told him he had good hair.

Apparently the girlfriend saw this exchange and was very jealous that another woman complimenting hair.
That night he slept off and by the time he woke up, his hair was gone as his girlfriend cut it off in a fit of rage.

I don't buy the story. The picture doesn't add up. He has a skin fade cut but the skin fade is missing in other pictures

Nazgul:
You can't buy a full chicken for N6,500. Unless it died and the owner wanted to sell it off urgently.

The presence of the head, leg and liver shows that it was either slaughtered or it recently just died cos frozen chickens don't come with heads, feet or liver.

Currently, 1 kilo of the smallest chicken lap (4pieces) is 4k. Two kilos would be 8k. This chicken you're claiming to buy for N6,500 is way over 3 kilos.

And if you must know, live broiler is 14k. The biggest size...So either you tell us the story behind how you bought a full chicken for such amount, or you stop lying to our faces.

Most of the people here saying it's a wonderful deal haven't bought chicken in months (or even years) I bought a live chicken 2 weeks ago for 14k with abeg, and bought 2kilos of chicken laps just yesterday. So I know how much these things are sold.

You must be typing from Ghana

immortalcrown:
In this 21st century for that matter. Look at the train model. The service does not even cover the entire nation. But Amechi and Bubu built a new one for Niger Republic. Only God knows what is stolen through the new route.

This is a display of ignorance.

Where is the train for Niger?

First of all, Niger is a land locked country which means anything they import in that country has to come through the sea which they don't have access to. Secondly, containers headed for Niger has to come through Nigeria, Benin Republic, or Libya. Currently, they use more of Benin because of clearing of logistics and government policies.

Having a rail line running from our sea to their country eliminates all logistical bottle necks. They currently get electricity from Nigeria, is it free? If they have access to rail do you think it's going to be free? The rail line will take the business from Benin to Nigeria.

Besides, do you know many trucks leave Kano daily to Niger with goods?

Is the rail mainly to serve Niger?

But Nasarawa governor was sacked and he is APC, how come no one is raising any issue abt it.

Same as Kaduna

Jorussia:
This 25% fct is the most ludicrous argument i have ever seen in an electoral dispute in the 21st century. Nigeria doesn't practise electoral college system where votes from states don't carry equal significance.In simple direct rule,all votes are equal in anywhere its adopted in the world. This is the worst presidential election petition ever in this country. There was so much noise in the media,and no substance in evidence.

The actual mind boggling fact about this issue is that some lawyers (NBA needs to recall them to bar) argue in favour of FCT 25%. What kind of lawyers are they? How did they qualify without knowing the fact that every vote is equal in the eyes of the law?

seunmsg:
Yes. IREV is not even mentioned anywhere in the electoral act. IREV is just a result viewing portal and not a collation system. Even copies of form EC8A given to police officers on duty and party agents can be used to collate result and declare a winner.

Peter Obi's agents were given the results of all the polling units in the country. All he had to do was collate his own result based on the copies given to his agents and take it to court as evidence instead of looking for IREV result.

No mind them. The stupidity is alarming.

Imagine 25% of Abuja a must?

Has your opinion changed yet

Yes, in favour of Honda.

The AC part, it's obvious I was wrong, Honda AC last long with no maintenance especially in recent cars. Same with transmissions.

I'd rather have a forger of Tinubu as president than a highly corrupt Atiku.
