Governor Obaseki seems to have problems keeping relationships. All politics is local. He should find a way to work with Dan Orbih of the legacy group and reach a common ground. Dan Orbih is a nice guy and had been in this game longer than Obaseki.

After taking out a full newspaper publication to lambast then Governor Wike, it is strange that Obaseki now goes to ask Wike to intercede on his behalf. It was even Obaseki's mouth that we heard Wike would be contesting the PDP presidential primaries and Obaseki threatened Wike with "we shall see".

This is the wrongest time to mend fences. Obaseki presents himself as a user. He ought to have reconciled with these people as soon as he won his second term, but he waited until he had use for them.

There is absolutely no political intelligence in such a move.

Asue Ighodosky, I advice you reach out to Dan Orbih, Wike and Ogbeide-Ihama and convince them on your own to show you wouldn't be a user like Obaseki. You are a good candidate but the Obaseki belligerent baggage is likely going to be your albatross.

Meet Wike and Dan Orbih and make concessions. You are a boardroom guru. Negotiation is obviously a piece of cake for you.

We want you as Edo Governor.

You've said it all. Obaseki is an albatross, the earlier Asue know this the better for him. He should reach out to them and negotiate and make concessions by adopting Ogbeide Ihama as his deputy from the legacy group if he becomes the standard bearer of the party(PDP). All politics are local.

If you and your wife to be choose to be conservative. Yes, it is!

It won't be, things are very expensive. Got wedded last year. Items on the marriage list( I mean for the bride's family) gulped almost 600k including 20k for bride price, which I was given back by my wife Dad to take care of her daughter.
Mind you I'm from Edo state.

To be candid with you it won't be enough.

As matter of fact 95% of women want to leave their marriages.
Things are really happening in marriage/relationships that i just don’t want to say it out. What Nigerian men are using our eyes to see. eh! hmmmm!

All what men want is sex!! After sex, they treat you like trash! Some men would even beat and rape their wife and tell her to her face that there’s nothing like rape in marriage. . Bunch of sickos!!

The honest truth is, there’s nothing a man can bring to my life that I can’t get myself. I enjoy my own company and I don’t feel the need or want to get married. I don’t think it will add anything to my life at all.

I got out of two long term back-to-back abusive relationships in 2020 and have pretty much sworn off men. I don’t need a man to make me happy and I will continue to hate men!

May it be to you as you've stated

SmartPolician:
This is the change people want to see. Meanwhile, the president must be seen telling those in government to emulate this, if they are truly sincere.

Governors are some of the biggest problems of Nigeria when it comes to wasting resources as they are only in government to enjoy themselves.

You've said it all, most Governors(not all) is a major part of Nigeria's woes.

My wife and I are expecting our first child, so currently I'm saving up money before the baby comes, we are also trying to get baby things of almost 400k.

But she wants me to buy Christmas rice for her mom. I've already decided that I'm not buying anything for anyone this December, including my own mom. But she wants me to buy for her mom which I refused becauze my baby is more important.
Mind you, she has elder ones who can't even get anything for their mom this December (she's the youngest). I just lied to her that I'm broke and I don't have any money. But I have close to 1.7 million which I want I to save for the baby and also get a car for when the baby comes.

I'm I making the right decision by ignoring everyone this December or should I take like 100k and just buy a bag of rice and share to the mom.

Personally I don't want to spend a dime on anyone because my child is the most important thing right now

I will advise you get a bag of rice for both Mum, or you can send them 50k each. This is festive season. You're not getting them rice every month are you?

Bros, remember part of the criteria is that you CHOOSE where to go with the $1k.
If you know what you are doing and where to go, it is much, much, much, better to leave Naija with $1k and no papers, than stay in Naija with $40k.
Check out this video below

Are you this deluded, live in Europe without papers, I can talk of Europe cause I have been living and working in Italy since 2016, came back from Nigeria 3weeks ago, though things are tough in Nigeria currently (I mean cost of living) but it worse off living in Europe undocumented (without papers.

bro you are living in fantasy land. go to germany you will see millions of african aduros seeking political asylum. after they frustrate you for 10 years while making you live inside camps, after 10 years you will be the one begging them to deport you home. i used to visit aduro camps in aachen bonn back in the day because i knew a few people there back in the day. you will live in makeshift camps with turks etc. this man you are the typical naija man wey go open mouth like say life dey very easyyyyyyyyyyy and rossyyyyyyyyyyy once you enter europe

God bless you, for this information. I live in Milan Italy. Have a friend in Northern Italy he's been in the Asylum route for 7years asylum declined including appeal. And when you're not documented (have your papers) you can't work, rent apartment n access to medical and other benefit.


Asylum route is not advisable.
Alot of Nigerians are suffering in Asylum camps in Europe and stock.

PoliteActivist:
This tells me you have limited experience.
It is far better to enter with $1k and no papers than stay in Naija with $40k:
Take the $1k, enter UK, US, Canada, ask for asylum. Play your cards right. Before long you'll have your papers. Guaranteed

As for the $40k. Depends on your circumstances abroad. There are Nigerians in US, UK, etc who'll happily go back home given $10k

Do you know how the asylum process work? Sometimes people come online to say what they know little or nothing about.


I won't advise anyone to seek asylum, though I currently lives in Milan Italy, have a friend who migrated to UK six years ago seeked asylum and currently his asylum has be rejected including appeal. Passing the asylum route is not advisable anywhere.

I understand that most Nigerian are passing through alot currently because of situations of the nation. Some people are even find it so difficult to eat 3 times in a day which make them forget Thier dear parents.

Despite our challenges, we need to understand that we still have more strength to achieve so many things unlike our parents who only depends on us.

So let me put this to your my dear Nairalanders, when last did you send money to your dear parents?

Mum is on a monthly payroll, lost my Dad 7th May 2021, still wish he's here to receive alert from me. He did sacrificed all to making sure I'm somebody.

No body need campaign against APC, their incompetence is campaigning for them

Some charlatans and misfits will still sell their vote and the future of their unborn generations.

In civilised climes,no eligible voters will vote Apc and Pdp but rather try the third force(LP) to see what they will offer, I know Peter obi at it worst will better than PDP and Apc 24years

I just pity students and their union leaders.
We presently have a weak and useless student union leaders that is only out for their pocket.
If all SUG leaders mobilize and block all major roads and airport and sustain the pressure for 3 days, the APC insensitive government will quickly answer ASSU; but one foolish one was in Ekiti supporting the same APC that kept him at home.

Block roads and airports? What are you sayingthey should mobilize themselves to Aso Rock and shut it down.

You want them to unleash pains on common pedestrians and motorist, or those who have genuine business trip in our airports.

Holla911:
Until we all shy away from sentimental games of politics of interest and tribalism, we won't see and agree that the cost of living in rising everywhere in the world.
As the people demands increases so the taxes from the government.
Lagos operate on a "direct" and "indirect" tax system to function as a state.
Other states are also increasing there tax rate but less to show for it yet you all complain of Lagos.
Let's accept the realities of things.
Let's hope and pray that the war in europe doesn't escalate outside Ukraine.

God bless you for this, have been living in Milan for six years now, cost of living has skyrocketed gas,light and groceries. No thanks to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia and managing a traumatised post covid_19 economy.
Was in Nigeria for four weeks in May, when people tell me cost of things is on the high side, I tell them it's every where.

BabaOfLagos:
Almost Everything about Nigeria is questionable though.

First of all,

How did we get here?!

In the 1950 era, you can't go to school until you hand cross over your head to your other ear, how did we get to the point where politicians could boldly drop such lie to a populace of over 100 million adult?

That's the truth, for your hand to cross over your head to the other ear you must be 5 or 6 years.
That's why most kids then start primary one at 6years.

The info is true. If you kill Idemili python,the people will hold you responsible and if you do strong head, they will show you vawulence Koro Koro . I am from Anambra too and it is not only in Idemili that killing of python is forbidden. In my own local government,Ihiala, it is forbidden. It may interest you to know also that there are towns in Anambra that kill and eat python,it is Umunze town. It is not a state thing,rather depends on the town

Also in Anaocha LGA whose capital is Neni, you don't kill python(Eke). Did my Nysc there 2011/2012 service year, batch B.

I was given 3 minutes

The reason was because:

Back then in GCDC, PH, we were taking a test of which I was the first to finish the test.

On submitting the answer sheet, I went back to my sit, brought out my notebook from my school bag to check if the answers I gave were correct.

After checking them, on returning the notebook, the teacher saw me, and he asked me to come out and kneel down (he taught that I was returning my 'intel chip') after which 6 strokes landed on my back with instructions that I must rewrite the test.

Lemme quote him.

"Go back to your sit, tear out a sheet of paper. I give you 3 MINUTES to submit..."

From that day...

How about you, how did it start?

I really do not understand most people's mentality.

He probably do not have enough education or skills do other jobs. Even most Nigerian students with graduate degrees do it to pay their bills until they have acquired the required education or skill to work white or other blue collar jobs without complaining.

He should even be greatful that he has the opportunity to earn a living and to contribute meaningful to the society. If he doesn't like he should consider it a stop-gap and start learning a skill. There are such opportunities in most western European country.

Also as long as a job pays your bills and you pay taxes it is considered a job in Europe. I know Europeans that clean for a living. They pay their mortgage from the income raise kids and live a normal life like every other person without people looking down on them.

You've said it all, God bless you for this, there are Europeans who clean for a living and they live better than a middle class family in Africa. A job is a job provided it can foot your bills and you don't beg alms for a living.most myopic individuals will come on this trend and be commenting what doesn't make sense.

IamDora:
Dear Nairalanders, Good evening to you all. I'm in a state of delima right now and I'm so confused on what to do that's why I decided to bring the issue here.

I have a Cousin, he's wealthy and we used to be very close to each other, we do alot of things and talking together. Even when we do meet at Villa during festive periods, we are always together 24/7 that people do think I'm the one eating his money. (If cousins were to marry each other, we would've married ourselves)

So fast forward to 2020, things began to take a new turn, he began to change towards me completely, he hardly picks my calls, neither does he reach out to me thereafter to know why I called (Mind you, I'm not a leech to him, as my family were very comfortable too) When I lost my mom (May her soul rest in peace) this my said cousin never called me to sympathize with me, and I didn't hold it against him either. He started giving me space, I tried everything possible to know why the sudden space from him, but to no avail. So I kept my cool and distanced myself from him.

So fast forward to this 2022, his fiancee (Whom I knew her from him) called me on the 20th of last month to tell me that their wedding is on the 18th of this month and she would so much like me to be in attendance! My cousin never bothered informing me about it even till now!

Now my question is,' Should I honour the said invitation by his Fiancee and attend their wedding or I should stay back and call her to wish her Happy Married Life after their Wedding?

LALASTICLALA, MYND44, please help me push this to front page so I'll get a wider audience to share their opinions.

Thank you.

If your said cousin didn't deem to invite you, if I'm to be in your position I won't attend.

A question l ask my self...


Is it right for any body , no matter how gargantuan in size to stand akimbo against this man called tinubu....?

No matter how you look at it... Tinubu has every cause to be confident in winning the next presidential election.,..


His popularity among the northerners is gaining ground.... .

And, he is aspired to gain more followership in the north


Perhaps, by so doing,


if he tactfully worked out his fortunate with the mass movement of the north he would gain power at the federal level...

We talking about popularity? This man is old that is the issue

Cyntie55:
There is this guy, we dated for 2 years before he traveled abroad (Italy) 2019. Our relationship was going on well even when he traveled out, we were always calling each other on video calls everyday. I was so faithful to him.

Suddenly (last year March), he started avoiding me. He could go for months before he replies my calls or chats.
Atleast no matter how busy you are, you can always spare 1 minutes of your time with the person you claim you love.

Please note, he's always online, We do video calls mostly on WhatsApp and anytime I try to reach him on video call or send him a message.... it always ring and deliver but he won't pick or reply.

Here are my reasons why I'm so confused whether to move on with my life or not.

1) Although before he started avoiding my calls, he told me he was busy... that he was working on something (but he never disclosed the particular "thing" to me)

2) We were supposed to get married as planned last year August. But this is May 2022 and absolutely nothing is in progress about it.

3)I discussed with his friend about it and he told me he's in a relationships over there. (I don't know if to believe him or not, because he didn't show me proof)

Now, it been a year I'm enduring his character. I feel like I'm stuck alone in this relationship. Heaven knows I haven't offended him in any way. I wish he could open up to me and tell me what I was doing wrong so that I could adjust. OR he should just tell me he's in a relationship so that I could move on.

I plan visiting his elder sister this weekend and explain to her the issue on ground but on a second thought I think I'm too forward. I'm jst confused and I feel hurt.

Have being in Italy since July 2016, though currently in Nigeria for a visit. I feel your pain but try and make him speak to you about situations he's confronting over there, He might not be seeing someone else.
He needs to integrate properly into the system and mind you this is not an easy task, cause the official language of Italy is Italian a non English speaking country. Have you asked him if he's gotten his permit of stay (permesso di soggionor)
Which enables him to work and reside legally in the country??
My advise try to speak and make him open up to you, I believe he will do if he really loves you. This is my advise. Ciao Ciao
