BureauJournal:I do not think government should be funding religious activities, whether Christian or Muslim. If a Nigerian wants to undertake Hajj, pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or any other religious journey, that person should be free to do so, but should also bear the cost personally or through voluntary religious contributions. Government, however, has a legitimate role in facilitating such activities. Negotiating with Saudi Arabia, ensuring proper regulation, protecting Nigerian pilgrims, providing consular assistance and strengthening bilateral relations are legitimate governmental responsibilities.

Dalohad:Stop that comparison. E no work. They don't now to the pictures in the billboard like you do to the image of a white man depicted as Jesus. They don't now to the alleged image of Mary. They don't pray through Mary and other 'saints'. They only pray to the father through Jesus Christ. Have you seen the recent video of the pope Holden a human skull in the Vatican? Catholicism is idolatry. |

We no dey learn for this country. The government has zero political will for anything at all.

The APC primaries may have ended, but one thing is already clear: 2027 is no longer about ordinary Nigerians. It is now a full-scale battle for relevance, protection and political survival. Across many states, governors practically handpicked candidates like school prefects. Former governors are rushing to the Senate as if Government House is just a temporary office branch. From Imo to Ogun, Yobe to Kano, old political faces are resurfacing again. In Nigerian politics, retirement is apparently just a short commercial break. The Senate is slowly turning into a VIP lounge for ex-governors, former ministers and political heavyweights who refuse to leave the stage. Some analysts say: This is strategy. Others say: This is elite recycling. Meanwhile, young politicians and grassroots aspirants are watching from outside the fence like guests without invitation cards. Interestingly, politicians who once fought each other are now suddenly smiling together again. Yesterday’s enemy has become today’s ally. In Nigeria, there are no permanent enemies in politics — only permanent interests. While APC says the primaries showed “internal democracy,” critics argue that governors now control party structures too tightly. And ordinary Nigerians? Most people are simply asking: “How does this reduce hunger, insecurity and hardship?” At the end of the day: Are these primaries really about service… or just a musical chairs competition among political elites? - Is the Senate becoming a retirement home for governors? - Is internal democracy truly alive in APC? - Why do the same political faces keep returning? - Are Nigerian voters gradually losing faith in the system? 2027 don begin already. |
When hunger enters through the front door, does conscience quietly jump through the window? A man who once preached honesty now whispers: “Na survival.” A woman who once rejected shortcuts now says: “Who integrity help?” Little by little, lines begin to shift. The keke man inflates transport fare because fuel no get joy. The civil servant delays your file until “something for weekend” appears. The businessman mixes original with fake and calls it strategy. The politician shares rice after stealing the whole farm. Everybody is blaming the economy. But at what point does hardship stop being an excuse and start becoming character? Because truth be told… poverty is a dangerous tailor. It can resize principles until they no longer fit. In this country, many people are not asking: “Is it right?” They are asking: “Will I survive?” And survival has become the new national anthem. But here is the real question: If a hungry lion enters the market, do we blame the lion for eating meat… or the society that stopped feeding the forest? Can a man keep his hands clean when life itself is muddy? Can morality breathe where desperation is everywhere? Or is integrity now a luxury item only affordable by comfortable people? Some people will say: “Good people are suffering.” Others will reply: “Na good people dey hungry pass.” So let’s talk honestly today: - Has hardship ever pushed you close to compromising your values? - Is Nigeria creating hustlers faster than honest citizens? - Are poor people judged too harshly for moral failures? - Would you remain upright if your family depended on your next desperate decision? No motivational quotes. No pretending. Just raw truth.

What Is Hantavirus? Hantavirus refers to a group of viruses primarily spread by rodents, especially through their urine, droppings, and saliva. Humans usually become infected when they inhale virus particles from contaminated dust. Some strains can cause severe and sometimes fatal disease in humans. The virus family is found worldwide, but the diseases it causes differ by region: Americas: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), which mainly affects the lungs. Europe and Asia: Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS), which mainly affects the kidneys. Key Facts You Should Know 1. How People Get Infected The most common route is: Breathing in contaminated air after sweeping or disturbing rodent droppings or nests. Other possible routes: Touching contaminated surfaces then touching the mouth or nose. Rodent bites. Rarely through contaminated food. Human-to-human transmission is extremely rare, though a few South American strains have shown limited spread between people. 2. Symptoms Symptoms usually appear 1 to 8 weeks after exposure. Early Symptoms Fever Fatigue Muscle aches Headache Chills Dizziness Nausea or vomiting Severe Symptoms As the disease progresses: Shortness of breath Fluid in the lungs Low blood pressure Kidney failure (in some strains) Severe HPS can become life threatening within days. 3. How Dangerous Is It? Hantavirus can be very serious. HPS has a mortality rate of roughly 30–40% in severe cases. Early medical treatment significantly improves survival chances. 4. Is There a Cure? There is: No specific antiviral cure universally approved No widely available vaccine in most countries Treatment focuses on: Oxygen therapy Intensive care support Ventilation if breathing fails Fluid management Early hospitalization is critical. 5. Prevention The best protection is avoiding rodent exposure. Important Safety Tips Seal holes in homes. Store food properly. Avoid sweeping dry rodent droppings. Spray droppings with disinfectant before cleaning. Wear gloves and masks when cleaning infested areas. Keep surroundings clean. 6. Is Hantavirus Common in Africa or Nigeria? Documented cases in Africa are much less common than in Asia or the Americas, but hantavirus-related rodents exist in parts of Africa. Surveillance is limited in many countries, including Nigeria, so underreporting is possible.

Every few months, social media erupts with another shocking story of a man discovering that the child he raised is not biologically his. In response, some people now argue that DNA testing at birth should become a standard hospital procedure. Supporters believe compulsory DNA testing would: • prevent paternity fraud, • protect men from deception, • reduce future family disputes, and • provide medical and genetic certainty from birth. Opponents, however, argue that it could: • undermine trust in marriages and relationships, • increase broken homes, • create a culture of suspicion, and • unfairly stigmatise women and children. There are also broader concerns about: • privacy and data protection, • the financial cost of testing, • possible government abuse or regulation, and • whether Nigeria’s healthcare system even has the capacity to implement such a policy effectively. So, what do you think? • Should DNA testing at birth be compulsory, optional, or discouraged? • Would you personally support it within your own family? • Is trust enough, or should science settle these questions once and for all? Ladies and gentlemen of Nairaland, over to you.

For years, Nigerians were told that education is the surest path out of poverty. But today, many graduates are unemployed, underpaid, or learning digital skills after school just to survive. At the same time, some people without degrees are making good money through tech, business, content creation, fashion, and skilled trades. So the question is: Is the traditional university degree losing value in Nigeria? Should young people still spend 4–6 years pursuing higher education? Are Nigerian universities preparing students for real economic life? Would vocational training and digital skills produce better outcomes? Can education still guarantee social mobility in Nigeria? Graduates, undergraduates, employers, artisans, and entrepreneurs, what has your experience been? |

Kaliningrad:Claims circulating online about the contrasting receptions given to Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Beijing are a mixture of fact, exaggeration, and misunderstanding of Chinese political protocol. First, it is true that President Putin was welcomed upon arrival by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Reports from multiple international outlets confirm this. However, the inference that this automatically signifies a dramatically higher level of diplomatic respect than that accorded to Trump is questionable. Chinese state protocol is highly formalized, and airport receptions do not map neatly onto simple hierarchies of prestige. It is also true that Donald Trump was received by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng during his visit. Yet the attempt to portray this as a deliberate slight ignores precedent. Previous American presidents have likewise been welcomed by Chinese vice presidents. Barack Obama, for example, was received by then–Vice President Xi Jinping in 2009, while Trump himself was greeted by Vice President Li Yuanchao during his 2017 visit to China. In other words, the reception accorded Trump falls well within established diplomatic practice. The accompanying claim that the Chinese vice presidency is “mostly ceremonial” is only partially correct. Constitutionally, the office is indeed weaker than the top Communist Party positions. But Han Zheng is not a marginal figure. He is a former member of the Politburo Standing Committee—the apex of political authority in China—and remains a senior statesman trusted with high-level diplomatic responsibilities. Describing him as a powerless ceremonial official is therefore misleading. More problematic is the assertion that China’s Foreign Minister is “the second most powerful person in China.” This is simply false. China’s political system is dominated by the Chinese Communist Party, not by formal state offices alone. Real power resides primarily within the Politburo Standing Committee under Xi Jinping. Wang Yi is an influential diplomat, particularly in foreign affairs, but he is nowhere near the second-ranking figure in the Chinese political hierarchy. The flag controversy is similarly distorted. Claims that “there were no U.S. flags in Beijing” during Trump’s reception are contradicted by photographs and news footage showing both Chinese and American flags displayed during welcoming ceremonies. Children waving U.S. and Chinese flags were visible at the airport reception. Conversely, reports that Russian flags were prominently displayed across Beijing during Putin’s visit are broadly credible. China frequently decorates major venues and routes with the visiting nation’s flags during important state visits. But statements claiming Russian flags appeared “in every corner of Beijing” are rhetorical exaggerations rather than precise factual descriptions. We know your preference, but do not distort the facts, |

Iran firing ballistic missiles at Israeli cities is not “resistance”; it is a direct, deliberate attack on civilians. No sovereign state can be expected to absorb that and do nothing. Israel has lived for decades under the shadow of groups and regimes openly committed to its destruction. When a government that funds and arms regional militias now escalates to overt missile launches, it crosses from proxy confrontation into open interstate aggression. Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Israel has a clear right to self-defence. If Tehran chooses escalation, it cannot then claim victimhood when Israel responds militarily. Deterrence is not warmongering; it is the basic logic of state survival. The real path to de-escalation begins when Iran stops targeting Israeli population centres and abandons its declared objective of eliminating the Jewish state. Peace requires reciprocity. Security is not negotiable. |

Hello house, my laptop can no longer connect to hotspot. I can't turn on the WiFi again. Seems it has disappeared or something. The only thing I did was that I fixed the keyboard and that all. I noticed it after I fixed the keyboard. N.B: The Bluetooth was also missing but it came back on its own. |
