Electricity issue is indeed rocket science in Nigeria

Is it until they do capital punishment (or China treatment ) before all this nonsense stops ? 🤔

The whole thing is outrageous. If the projects had been started during that time, it would have reached near completion stage and there would have been some form of stable power supply. As it is now, the two projects are now white elephant projects that may never see light of the day till God knows when.

What of bullying in schools? 🤷🏾‍♂️

The day I had runny stomach (Abi nah food poisoning) was the very day I stopped patronizing street food vendors close to a branch I went to visit for work. This was around 2022 or 2023. I just jejely started going to Chicken Republic and The Place afterwards. Whenever a host asks me, I tell them ‘please, no street food vendors’. Even those selling buns or pie encased in glass box by those hawkers is a no-no for me when I also got runny stomach. 🤮

This reminds me of the movie called Traffic starring Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle and others. There must a very strong cartel taking advantage of loopholes in Nigeria for it to be this successful. It could also be that they use Nigeria as transit point for onward delivery to Asian countries like India, Sri Lanka. It looks like USA is no go area for such as we have never heard of them (Trump is dealing with them mercilessly if I am not mistaken). Instead na scams dem run for yankee

What you say is not far from the truth. At ijebu-ode, I was living among these students. Almost all weee driving Lexus and police had formed the habit of coming to raid there whenever I was away at work. I just jejely packed my things and left

One would think a tornado swept through that place but as we would have it, they don’t exist in this part of this world

Spending money. Pres. DT May be probed in the future after his tenure on this war 🤔

Wiz kid right now will be fuming wherever he is

It is because the lightening was very close so the noise from it startled them. Compare that to when it is quite a distance.

Just like when you hear it very close to your window, one would be very startled as the thunder that will come after will be so loud that the room vibrates and you will be praying to God not to let the house collapse. It would even be very dangerous if you are outdoors

After dumping chivita. 🤔

Criminal network engaged in a multitude of criminal activities and present in dozens of countries.

The Spanish National Police (Policía Nacional), in close cooperation with the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office (Bayerisches Landeskriminalamt) and with the support of Europol, has conducted an operation against the international criminal organisation ‘’. The action resulted in 34 arrests and significant disruptions to the group's activities. is a highly structured, hierarchical group with its origins in Nigeria and a global presence in dozens of countries. The core group of arrested suspects consists of 10 individuals of Nigerian nationality.

The criminal network is known for its involvement in a wide range of criminal activities, including cyber-enabled fraud, drug trafficking, human trafficking and prostitution, kidnapping, armed robbery and fraudulent spiritual practices. The group's annual criminal proceeds are estimated to be in the billions of euros, generated through many small-scale operations that collectively have a significant impact.

Arrests and further investigations
A total of 34 people were arrested in Spain, with 28 arrests carried out in Seville, as well as 3 in Madrid, 2 in Málaga and 1 in Barcelona. Investigators believe that the criminal network is responsible for fraud resulting in damages exceeding EUR 5.93 million. Over the course of the operation, authorities have frozen EUR 119 352 in bank accounts and seized EUR 66 403 in cash during house searches.

The cross-border collaboration between Germany and Spain included Spanish investigators receiving analytical support, the exchange of intelligence, and the deployment of two German officers on-site during the action day. The operation targeted the core group of the organised crime network, which recruits money mules in impoverished areas with high unemployment rates. Most of these vulnerable individuals are of Spanish nationality and are exploited to facilitate the network’s criminal activities.

This operation was supported by Europol through a range of services, including information analysis, a data sprint held in Madrid, and on-the-spot support. Europol has been instrumental in mapping the group's structure across countries, centralising information, sharing relevant intelligence packages, and supporting coordinated national investigations. This strategy aims to disrupt the group’s operations and seize assets, addressing the challenges posed by the group's dispersed small cases, cross-border activity, and the blurring of crimes into ‘ordinary’ local offences.

Background on
, formally linked to the Neo-Black Movement of Africa, is a highly structured, hierarchical group with a global presence.

In total, the organisation has roughly 30 000 registered members, and countless affiliated individuals such as money mules and facilitators. The group enforces strict codes of conduct, violent and ritualistic initiations, and spiritual practices.

Interesting development . So this will be marked for as a place not to migrate to in the nearest future.

Netflix has confirmed it has entered into a definitive agreement to buy Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO, and HBO Max, in a deal worth $82.7 billion.

In a statement, Netflix said the buyout would be completed in Q3 2026. Post-acquisition, the streamer said that it still expected Warner Bros. movies to continue being released in theaters.

Celebrating its momentous acquisition of Warner Bros.' vast content vault, Netflix said the deal would bring its global reach and streaming capabililties to a century of movies and TV franchises, as well as the studio's biggest ongoing franchises. These notably include the DC Universe which is now being overseen by James Gunn, the Game of Thrones franchise which now has an expanded slate of spin-offs, and Harry Potter, which will soon be rebooted via an ambitious new TV series.

Netflix said it plans to add Warner Bros.' "deep film and TV libraries", as well as its HBO and HBO Max shows, to its own streaming service, which will mean the arrival of series such as Friends, The Big Bang Theory and House of the Dragon alongside countless movies, from Citizen Kane to this year's Superman.

At the same time, Netflix said it would also support theatrical releases for future Warner Bros. movies — but for which titles, and for how long? Today's announcement does not go into detail, and there will undoubtedly be questions on the extent to which Netflix will support Warner Bros.' theatrical output, after previously saying it wouldn't change its long-standing view on theaters versus streaming.

Word that Netflix was now a frontrunner in the race to buy Warner Bros. first emerged earlier this morning, following weeks of speculation around an imminent deal and significant interest from other parties, not least fellow Hollywood studio Paramount.

As yet, no specific mention has been made of Warner Bros.’ video games. The company owns Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm, Batman: Arkham maker Rocksteady, and Hogwarts Legacy studio Avalanche. Next year, Warner Bros. is set to release Traveller's Tales’ Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, while Rocksteady is believed to be back making a new Arkham title. As for Avalanche, following the breakout success of Hogwarts Legacy, a sequel now seems all but assured.

"Our mission has always been to entertain the world," said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix. "By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies — from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like Harry Potter and Friends — with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we'll be able to do that even better. Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling.”

"Today’s announcement combines two of the greatest storytelling companies in the world to bring to even more people the entertainment they love to watch the most,” added David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery. "For more than a century, Warner Bros. has thrilled audiences, captured the world’s attention, and shaped our culture. By coming together with Netflix, we will ensure people everywhere will continue to enjoy the world’s most resonant stories for generations to come."

It is good to unwind and relax once in a while. Thanks for sharing

Congrats to her! How much are her earnings from making viral videos? Does she have dependents? And is she now a citizen of the UK? How did she keep doing it as the Nigerian in some of us would have been trying to discourage her from doing such things

The UK has introduced a new policy allowing international students to transition to the Innovator Founder visa from within the country.

A new rule, effective 25 November 2025, will remove the long-standing requirement for students to return home before applying.

Applicants can now begin setting up approved innovative businesses while their applications are processed.

The reform is expected to boost entrepreneurship among African students, especially Nigerians who make up one of the largest foreign student groups in the UK.

What of his family ? Were they aware of this? Was he in some kind of debt that forced him to work in more than two places? Can one even call this side hustle? As someone said earlier, in Nigeria, we have doctors that work in government hospitals and run private clinics. But this is different since it was the same board/trustee he was under the employ of. And this was done in his late 50s

Is Canada becoming too hot for them that their attention is not shifting to the Netherlands?

So artificial scarcity was created to increase fuel price.

So problem changing names. These are just rebranded names for Eko Electricity and Ikeja Electric Discos. So nothing new there. There will be need for more sensitization on this by the time people want to make payments via the apps and banks

Is it not the madam that the Lagos state governor was mentioned to be at her birthday party, leaving his duty post or said to be his side chick? 🤔

Human being with no conscience. No regard for life. She needs to be made an example of

I disagree that there is no solution. How come we never heard of so much flooding in the past? The truth is that the urban design especially for Lekki, VI, Ikoyi was abused. Late LKJ opened up the Lekki but what happened thereafter is unimaginable. There were designated areas that should have been left as green belts according to the masterplan but became sand filled for estates, example is Parkview Estate. It is so bad now that some residential properties are now business offices showing the lost appeal just as pressure has now been built on the environment. Even the colonizer will be chuckling, and I can bet that no water from the lagoon or creek has entered the streets. Wide drainage channels would have to be created or reconstructed apart from removing silt and trash.

Lanretoye:
The issue of flooding in Lagos has no solution,people should just be proactive especially on the island

How many cars (or SUVs) does he intend to keep giving to her?

Was he not the one who signed for the withdrawal in the first place to spite the opposition? 🤔

That part about using VPN shows you that you are just wasting time thinking you are protected using an encrypted channel or masking your IP address 🤔

There is a pattern going here. Why is it that whenever TCN announces they have peaked to a maximum with power, give or take a week or two that the grid collapses? 🤔

The construction site is located along Oba Adeyinka Oyekan Avenue, Ikoyi; the route going from Ikoyi passport office to Osborne Road/Alfred Rewane Road (and close to Ikoyi golf club). They were constructing the new Dado luxury residential high-rise development in Ikoyi. May the soul of the departed rest in peace.
