Python25to30: My mum rears cockreal , there is a stupid beautiful white cock that derives joy crowing at odds hours like 4am till dawn infact any unusual time. This heediot happens to habe his cage opp my window hence no sleep for me from 4am. Today i came out when it woke me by 4am and mistaken threw slippers to it breaking the leg. It now hops on one leg, me thinking it would not have energy to crow again as it would use some nutrient for leg healing.
To my surprise this guy still get mind dey crow for 4am today again after breaking the legs yesterday.
I feel guilty for breaking the leg it was a mistake. But now the crowing is now worse.
The other orange male don't crow except this heediot white one.
Are you in Ibadan ? You pictures have an Ibadan look to them
CorrectionFLuid: No one stops the middle belt from speaking up for themselves.
And the times people have spoken up for them, they always turn around to embrace their killers.
Omo it's about everyone getting involved. It's not a middle belt problem it's a Nigerian problem. The Oyinbo would have done the calculation a long time ago and gotten rid of them. In calabar in 1 back in the day there was this cult that was killing people. They kpaied a policeman. Omo Oyinbo get mind. They kpaied 60 cultist in broad daylight...... The entire thing stopped. Looked for it on the internet but it did not show
prominent historical "cult" investigation by the British in the Calabar region occurred between 1945 and 1948.The Society: Colonial authorities investigated the Man-Leopard Society (a secret society known as Ekpe or Ngbe roots) after victims were found with wounds mimicking leopard attacks. British Intervention: The British colonial police conducted one of the largest murder hunts in colonial Africa, recording roughly 196 deaths.
Outcome: The investigation led to dozens of arrests and executions of members of these secret societies by the colonial judicial system.
Suppression of Ritual Practices Earlier British interventions in Calabar (when it was the first capital of Nigeria) focused on outlawing specific ritual practices through treaties and decrees:
1848: The British negotiated an engagement with local chiefs to abolish human sacrifice.1855 & 1878: Agreements were signed to stop the killing of twin children, a practice driven by traditional beliefs often associated with secret religious orders.
Methods: While the British did use force to maintain order, much of the suppression of these "cults" was achieved through "soul-crushing paperwork"—formal treaties and banning the use of the "poison bean" ordeal (a ritual used to identify witches).
dalass: The middle belt has some states, Governors, senators, rep members, big people and military chiefs who are indigenous... Nothing stopped them from coming out, protesting or taking steps to raise alarm/ secure their territory...
South West on the other hand have value for life and even livestock life is important to us... We love peace and enjoy the prosperity it brings.... We won't allow violence, we stopped Usman Fodio in their raging conquest before in Oyo, we will not take their nonsense. A pity that they stopped Igboho that time, he would have pursued them all the way back to futa jalon cave they came from. Gumi is a terrible terrorist
This Terrorism thing shows us how weak we are Politically. Imagine if an estate next to yours was being attacked by armed robbers all the time, if a chairman in the next estate cannot reach out to the affected chairman is proof of lack of power or relationship. When things are happening around you the powerful meet other stackholders to strengthen the affected Community because the wise know if it happens to A, B, C it's a matter of time it happens to me.
Does anyone think if Lord Lugard was still the ruler that terrorists could have survived ?
Cutezt: I am always amazed at the outcry and noise everywhere when 3 or 4 people are killed in the South, meanwhile, everyone have completely turned blind eyes to what is happening in the middle belt, like, it's normal to kill 20 people there, no big deal about it, life goes on, no noise, no outcry, nothing!
As I speak to you, there is almost no night that passes without gun duels in the villages of the middle belt between these Islamic terrorists and the villagers, with lives lost every single day, yesterday, it was in Riyom, tomorrow it will be somewhere else, there is no outcry at all, but just touch 2 people down south, all the unions, VIP and everyone will find their voice, you can't teach this.
The demon you overlooked cos it is 'far' from you, is slowly but surely creeping up on you down south, the only thing stopping them from being in Lagos yet is because there is almost no thick bush to hide, but when they find a solution (which they will) expect them in the coming years.
If you don't speak out on the happenings in the middle belt, it's just a matter of time before they are in your house.
They should make you National Advicer on Intelligence. Our leaders inability to read the writing on the wall is alarming. You own a party, governors of the north are in your party..... And you cannot influence how they think to fight this thing head on. Trump who does not own the party and is doing as he pleases is far better.
Gotocourt: Probably, though they've been screaming brake failure before the crash. VIO needs to start banning aged trucks.
Government needs to start giving drivers 10 years in Prisonment and seizing 3 trailers from the company and getting the owner of the companies to pay compensation to everyone affected
God rest their souls. Person dey death find her come......
When a heavy duty trailers looses it brakes, only divine intervention helps
Driver needs to be skilled too to avoid casualties
Government need to penalise very heavily any time a trailer falls by seizing 3 trailers from the company and prosecuting the drivers to very long jail terms. Everyone will then sit up
kiddaz: I never even scroll half of front page already seeing deaths by truck ramming into people on 2 different threads. Maybe more dey down if I scroll. What is going on
Welcome To NIgeria. I hope you had a very nice flight
EdiskyHarry: Nigerian heavy duty drivers are the most reckless road users I have ever seen, they don't care about other people because they know very well, if there's any form of collision, their chances of coming out alive is 95%
One of the reasons why these things happens is because our governments don't understand governance. if the government was going to seize the company and all assets everytime a trailer fell trailers would have stopped falling a long time ago.
KobolanderSegun: This Forum has seen better days. I was in a 2019 thread and I noticed more people actually read threads then. I think there is too much politics in the front page even though they have tried to change that over the course of the last 3 days. They will figure a way out. This forum is 20 years old and you don't do that long if you cannot figure out things.
franchasng: So our ladies doing well abroad should start helping our guys back home and at the same time help their own life too, it will go a long way in transforming Nigeria for good. When God bless us, it's not meant for you alone or you and your family alone to enjoy, it is meant to also uplift others. This has always been my motto and I can always beat my chest and say I have done well in this aspect and still doing with joy
Jesus Christ ,!!!! What is happening !!!! How can a man ask a woman for assistance. This country has no future. Is this what the Americans are doing ? Where did this level of Spinelessness come from ?
When our men should be on Google doing research to better their lives they spend all their time on TikTok laughing in comedy section
workchopNG: Good decision. Poverty no be joke... do everything legitimate to escape it.
Marrying a woman because of her money or her " connection " is the worst thing that can happen to a man...... That's castration..... He no get the balls to work hard and think hard.
If you can call him a man.....I'm not surprised so many men are supporting him. There are no men anymore.
KobolanderSegun: So giving advice is being like Jesus? I'm doing it so that they become aware of their thinking process. All these young men that want to use iphone 12 in Lagos Nigeria
Whether it's iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14, iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPhone 17, iPhone 18, iPhone 19 or iphone 20. ..... It's all the same thing. Just get an Infinix Smartphone and you will get the same apps running. Google play store even has more apps. But in Lagos Nigeria fake life is almost the norm so they will not listen to your advice. Better to use the breath for eating hot pepper soup.
Personally,once you come to me for help and I notice you're holding an expensive phone,I don't even bother myself to listen to any of your stories cuz I'll just know you don't deserve real help. Cuz if you really do,you should have known the difference between an asset and a liability. And when and how to dispose your liability in order to meet your immediate needs.
This is so true. Me I don't help at all. I just move on without saying a word. OP is always doing Jesus Christ and helping people. Even some of his posts are about Jesus Christ.
Guestmale: How does Ukraine war didn't stretch Russia weapons that it was America weapons it's stretching. How many missiles has America launched against Iran compared to what Russia has launched against Ukraine.
Based on recent 2025/2026 data, here are the top three countries with the highest defense budgets:
United States ($895B - $997B): Continues to hold the largest defense budget for global operations, technology, and base maintenance.
China ($266B - $314B): Focuses on military modernization, naval expansion, and high-tech weapons.
Russia ($126B - $149B): High spending driven by ongoing military operations and equipment modernization.
If you buy a 50 Kg bag of rice. Each time you take one derrica you are depleting the rice. Even Russia has depleted arms that is why they have gone into Iranian drones. And to show the difference between paper statistics and real time arms valuation, Russia has Cancelled their Victor Day Parade or have promised to remove all military hardware. Victory day parade is when they used to bring out tanks, nuclear missiles and such. They are scared Ukraine will destroy their weapons
Military Weapons run into millions of dollars per item so they always make sure they get their monies worth
KobolanderSegun: Naija men are really trying. They will buy iphone 12 to feel among then they will start begging people for soft drinks, bread, ground nut.
Despite my spending close to 5 years always showing my Vulcanizer how I am surviving in Nigeria by being low budget he does not listen and continues to spend his money anyhow then start begging me when he sees me on the road .
The other day I showed him a phone I bought way back in 2010 which I still use till this day. I tell him the reason why it always seems like I have money is because I spend my money very slowly.
I have clothes that are 20 years old which I still wear. Even though I'm into fashion I have clothes from back in the day. When my father died I inherited all his clothes some of the clothes go back to 1990.
Don't worry my father was very fashion conscious and the clothes are still very much in style and are of very good quality. My father travelled to 65 countries of which 22 were African Countries so his sense of style was top notch .
I keep on telling my mates in my Estate to save their money and adopt better maintaince culture so that things can really last and they save money but it all falls on deaf ears.
If you are in your twenties it's ok to live life fast but once you enter 40 you need to slow down.
Anyway when my Vulcanizer was begging today I bought him N100 biscuits, the lady of the shop said I should not have bought him anything that they will save their money and be pretending that they do not have. How someone is using a N250k iphone with another 100k android phone is begging is beyond me.
No today ? That is standard practice for so many people in Nigeria, live above their means then beg to stay alive
Willy2025: It doesn't make any difference to the already impoverished Nigerians. The bourgeois policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have sent many Nigerians to irrecoverable and inextricable poverty. Except petroleum prices are reduced to something between #500-600,people are struggling to make even one meal a day.
Thanks for this because this is the reality. Why would anyone tell us it is now N1,350 ? As if that is tangible reduction. Had it come down to N1,000 I can understand that for making the news.

As I said Watch more YouTube. YouTube is the World's Number One source of Balanced Journalism. Aljazera, BBC, CNN, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens. Do you know that American VP Vance was Totally against the War ? Forget about Twitter and TikTok YouTube give the news from all sides. When I'm saying America has depleted alot of its precision weapons it's because it is from recently retired Pentagon or White House former Reps that are saying this. Or when Prof Marandi of Iran said on CNN almost a year ago Iran will hijack the straight of Hormuz. With YouTube the real power brokers are talking before during and after it happens. YouTube has changed probably because TikTok and Twitter were on the raise. I cannot waste my time on Twitter and TikTok there is to much they said that they said that they said. When people on this forum are talking from data sheets I know it's because they are not watching YouTube to get the info from so many different sources. So far America has spent 25 billion on the War with Iran , that is why Trump has cooled down because it can easily go to 250 billion. Why waste so much money when you cannot effect regime change. And Iran will take the entire region under because if you have American base .
KobolanderSegun: Omo Dem don even remove The Karachika from Instagram after she had reached like 500k followers. Just like that they deleted her page. These are the latest Sade Johnson pictures on Instagram. No more body pictures. Well it was nice while it lasted.
Yeah I noticed that the Karachika page was pulled off Instagram. I think this is her second page that they deleted. Like some 750k followers gone. But she is active on Twitter.
Guestmale: Self delusion. Why can't any of those second class upper world power go for the defense of Iran. A country that have up to 5k troops with state of the art weapons in just a single country outside it shores and have them all over the world like that, even in the next 50years I'm not sure if those three countries combine together can still face America.
Buy solid data and watch you tube. You're talking in a bubble The Ukraine War did stretch American weapons and Iran is also stretching.it. For me to break it down that is why businesses do not sell on credit so that they have liquid capital. Or why banks don't like loaning money in Nigeria, in this our world the winner is the one always collecting. To break it down further if you earn 5K Every day and spend just N1K you will have 4 x30 - 120k a month. If you spend all you have then you will have you will have 0K.
Even citizens from the best governed countries and with high standard of living still travel to other countries.
Saying stay to fix corrupt country is insensitive!
The problem stems from thinking we are some sort of Gods. we think we are special because we are NIgerian. We lack respect for the countries we go into, we behave any how in those countries. They should deport all NIgerians back to Nigeria to learn humility shame and disgrace. I have always said this would happen and it will happen. When going to another man's land play the role of servant not King. They will be crowning themselves king in another man's land. Imagine if you are a landlord and some stranger crowns himself king in your house.
