I get your point, but it’s not always “childish” when a woman gives a wrong number. Sometimes it’s simply a survival tactic. Women give fake numbers for many reasons — to avoid an uncomfortable scene, dodge persistent advances, or protect their safety when a man won’t take “no” politely.

It’s not necessarily about being “easy” or “hard to get,” it’s about avoiding unnecessary drama. In an ideal world, a lady could just say “I’m not interested” and walk away, but in reality, some men react with insults, aggression, or pressure when turned down. So, a fake number becomes a quick, harmless exit strategy.

The truth is, the real question isn’t whether she gave her number — it’s whether she wants you to use it.
malaria:
Poster your number 3 is baseless. Its only a kid that gives out a fake number to a guy . Sometimes one gives out number just to free herself. Its not a matter of giving out number, its a question of if the person is interested in the guy . Its better a woman refuses giving out her number than giving out a fake number It's childish . Except a lady is into hookup, any lady you get her line easily is not easily accessible.

Your Honour, with all due respect, this statement — ‘you know how ladies are’ — is not a defence, it’s an excuse rooted in stereotype. Consent is not a guessing game, and it is not based on outdated assumptions about how women ‘really’ feel.

When a woman says stop, the law requires that you stop. Period. No ‘but’, no ‘maybe she meant something else’. Consent must be clear, ongoing, and respected in real time — not reinterpreted later to suit the accused.

This is not about ‘how ladies are’. This is about the simple fact that when she withdrew consent, anything that happened after was against her will. And that, by law, is a crime. The defendant’s belief that he could ignore her words because of a stereotype is exactly why we have clear consent laws — to protect people from harm and from having their boundaries disregarded.

This here is called rape.



I witnessed a court session where it was obvious the lady wanted the whole thing but dude admitted the lady said stop.... In his defence just like you, he said YOU KNOW HOW LADIES ARE. this statement landed in many years behind bars.

NewPee44:
Good day Nairalanders,

I seriously need your help to save my marriage.
I will be very brief with my story.

I am a newly wedded man. Before I got married, I usually take soda (Coke, Fata and big cola) drinks a lot, sometimes I take 2 bottles a day. Back then I assumed that since my work is so stressful, the soda will nor have much effect.

Fast forward to few months of my wedding, I stopped drinking soda.

Surprisingly, my P*nis could not stand properly for almost a week, I had to visit a local herb seller for Agbo. After few days, it started working again.
Fast forward to few days ago, I realised that I cum as quickly as 2minutes or less. The present situation is making me restless.

Please kindly advise on what I can use to get back myself.
Here’s what I recommend:

1. Stop relying on herbal mixtures without knowing their contents. Some agbo preparations can harm your liver, kidneys, or heart.

2. Get a proper medical check-up — including blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and testosterone levels. This will help identify any underlying issues.

3. Adopt healthier habits:

Exercise regularly (especially cardio and pelvic floor exercises like Kegels).

Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains.

Drink plenty of water.


4. Manage stress and get quality sleep — both can greatly affect erections and stamina.

5. Avoid excessive alcohol, smoking, and sugary drinks.

6. For early ejaculation, start with simple techniques like the “stop-start” or “squeeze” method, and consider seeing a urologist or sex therapist for guided treatment.

7. If needed, your doctor may prescribe safe, regulated medications for erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation — but only after proper evaluation.


With consistent lifestyle changes and medical guidance, most men see significant improvement within weeks to months. Don’t panic — take action and track your progress.

Politics › Re: Onitsha Port Welcomes First Barge Of 2025 Season by AngelSlay: 1:51pm On Aug 09, 2025
While the vision for Onitsha River Port is promising, proper dredging alone won’t guarantee a year-round, thriving commercial hub. Inland waterway transport in Nigeria has long faced challenges beyond infrastructure—such as inconsistent policy implementation, bureaucratic bottlenecks, security concerns along river routes, and inadequate integration with road and rail networks.

Yes, the demand exists, but without a coordinated approach that addresses these systemic issues, the port risks becoming an underutilized asset like several other government-led projects. Instead of focusing solely on dredging and physical infrastructure, the priority should be building a sustainable operational framework—clear regulations, private sector incentives, and security guarantees—that ensures the port’s long-term viability and competitiveness.
Business › Re: ₦100k In 2025 Cannot Buy What ₦8k Could Buy In 2006 - StatiSense by AngelSlay: 8:36am On Aug 09, 2025
Back in January 2006, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 67.4. By December 2024, it had jumped to 867.8 — that’s a whopping 1,187% rise in prices.

To put it in perspective: if you had ₦8,000 in 2006, you could buy the same goods and services that would now cost you about ₦102,939 in 2024. In other words, ₦100,000 today has roughly the same buying power as just ₦8,000 back then.

This isn’t just a statistic — it’s a wake-up call. The money in your pocket silently loses value over time when prices rise faster than your income. That’s why keeping cash idle is dangerous; it’s like leaving ice in the sun. Investing, saving in value-preserving assets, or creating extra income streams are not luxuries anymore — they’re survival strategies.

If you’re still thinking in “face value” instead of “real value,” inflation is already winning.

You're not broken. You're not weak. You’re just hurt, and you’ve been carrying that pain for 8 months without real healing. Now, your body is speaking what your mouth may not have said.

This isn’t the end of your marriage or manhood — but it is a wake-up call that healing is needed, not performance.

If you want, I can help you craft a message or talk you can have with your wife to explain how you feel without conflict. Just say the word.

You're not alone, brother. You've got options — and strength.

Romance › Re: Is She Into Hook-up? by AngelSlay: 6:31pm On Aug 08, 2025
abbey621:
Even hookup girls go tell you please no hookup o, na format.....95% of 9ja girls will do it or have done it..........Some just don't like the word, so you fit call them talking stage, friends with benefit, bestie and so on. As for your particular problem.....Try call Igwe since you no wan believe say rice no be beans grin
Saying "95% of Naija girls will do it or have done it" is a sweeping generalization that isn’t backed by any reliable data. Sexual behavior, like every other human behavior, varies based on values, upbringing, personal boundaries, religion, and life experiences. Nigeria is incredibly diverse, what’s common in Lagos nightlife might be unheard of in a conservative town in Bauchi or Enugu.

According to a 2018 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted in Nigeria:

1. Only 15.1% of women aged 15–49 reported having more than one sexual partner in the last 12 months.
2. Over 60% of Nigerian women still view premarital sex as socially or religiously unacceptable.

In many areas, abstinence and chastity are still widely promoted, especially in rural and religious communities.


So the idea that "most girls are down" and just dislike the label is a myth pushed by social media echo chambers, not real-life data.

Also, dismissing a girl’s “no hookup” as just a format undermines her agency. Some people genuinely don’t want casual sex, and others change their stance over time — not because it was “format”, but because people are allowed to evolve emotionally, sexually, or romantically.

As for the “talking stage,” “bestie,” or “friends with benefits” — yes, labels can vary, but consent and clarity matter in every situation. Trying to manipulate terms to get around boundaries is deceptive.

Lastly "Try call Igwe since you no wan believe say rice no be beans" — I get the frustration or sarcasm here, but real talk: just because someone doesn’t share your experience doesn’t make them naïve. Rice no be beans, true. But not every girl na party jollof some still dey do home training and personal discipline.

Let's stop projecting personal experiences as universal truths. Not every woman is pretending. Not every "no" is a tease. And not everyone defines freedom the same way. Live and let live with respect and facts.
Romance › Re: Is She Into Hook-up? by AngelSlay: 6:26pm On Aug 08, 2025
Bro, I hear your frustration. It’s painful to see our sisters, wives, and women people we hold in high esteem being exposed or disrespected like that. But let's step back a bit and really unpack this.

First, this isn’t just a "women" issue or a "Nigerian" thing. It’s a deeper issue of power, manipulation, and broken values on both sides. When someone abroad misuses their status or influence to get intimate photos or videos from women back home, especially by pressure or false promises, that's not a flex — it’s exploitation. Let’s call it what it is.

Second, those women are not just images on a phone — they’re real people with emotions, families, and stories. Some might have been manipulated, desperate, lonely, or simply trusting the wrong person. Some may have made poor decisions yes but that doesn't mean they deserve public shame or to have their dignity erased.

Also, marriage doesn’t magically protect someone from being vulnerable. Emotional needs, lack of support, or trauma can make anyone man or woman take risks they wouldn’t normally take. It's not right, but it's human.

As men, especially if we claim to cherish and respect women, we need to ask ourselves: what kind of men are we becoming when we boast about violating their privacy or dignity? If someone’s phone is “full of nudes” and he’s bragging, what does that say about him — not just them?

The real flex should be protecting the dignity of our women, not exploiting it. Because tomorrow, it could be your sister, cousin, or even daughter caught in the same trap. Would you laugh or brag then?

Let’s stop applauding brokenness. Let’s build respect, boundaries, and accountability on all sides both for the men and the women involved.

Hespee93:
Let’s start with the fact you met her on FaceBook, that’s red flag number one.

She maid over 11TikTok videos with different backgrounds, red flag number two.

Nobody should advise you before making decisions.

The trust I had on my ex dropped to 0% when I learned that she dated someone she met on FaceBook even without them meeting just because he lives in Canada.
Yes, meeting someone on Facebook might seem like a red flag—but only if the connection lacks depth or transparency. In today’s world, many people meet online, especially across cultures and borders. What really matters is how they interact: Is there consistency? Honesty? Do they share values? If the relationship stays superficial or secretive, that’s when concern is truly warranted.

Regarding the TikTok videos in different backgrounds—that could look suspicious, or it could just be someone who enjoys creating content, travels a lot, or lives in a dynamic environment. It becomes a red flag only if there's deception, like pretending to be someone they’re not. Otherwise, it might just be how they express themselves.

Saying "nobody should advise you before making decisions" is powerful, and I hear that. But at the same time, input from people you trust can offer perspective. It's not about letting others decide for you—it’s about gathering insight and still choosing for yourself.

As for your ex dating someone from Facebook just because he lived in Canada—that sounds deeply hurtful, and it's okay that it broke your trust. But it might not have been just about location. Sometimes people chase an idea, a lifestyle, or an escape. That doesn’t excuse betrayal, but it shows how complex human behavior can be.

Bro, I get it. You’ve met someone you really like she’s cool, cute, and things have been flowing well. Then boom you come across her TikTok and start noticing she’s filmed a bunch of videos in hotel rooms. That would make anyone pause and wonder what’s up.

But here’s the thing…

It’s okay to feel uneasy, but don’t assume the worst yet.

There could be plenty of reasons for those videos:

1. Maybe she travels a lot for work or meets clients in different places.
2. Maybe she likes the clean vibe of hotels for making videos. Or maybe those videos are just old stuff from a phase in her life before you came into the picture.

You didn’t see anything wild or compromising in the videos — just hotel rooms. That alone isn't proof of anything shady.

What I’d suggest
Talk to her. Not in a suspicious or “caught you” type of way. Just bring it up casually: “I saw some of your TikToks — some of them looked like they were in hotels. You travel a lot for work or just like the hotel vibe?”

Let her explain. Pay attention more to how she reacts than what she says — is she cool and honest about it? Or does she get weird and defensive?

Watch, don’t rush

You’re still getting to know her. There’s no need to make any big decisions now. Just keep your eyes open and let time reveal more. People can surprise you, in both good and bad ways, so don’t rush to judge, but don’t ignore red flags either.

Don’t do this though:

- Don’t start stalking her socials like you're building a case.
- Don’t bring it up in an accusatory way — it’ll put her on defense fast.

Don’t bottle it up either — that leads to overthinking and resentment.

Trust your gut, but give her a fair chance. You're not wrong to notice what you saw — just be smart about how you handle it. If she’s solid, she’ll respect the question. If she’s shady, you’ll sense it soon enough.
tgmservice:
I recently started dating a cute lady which I really liked.

We started chatting in FB and shared contacts, after a while getting to talk and know each other we went on couple of dates to just see n talk.

Everything was fine and good, one day while browsing on my phone I stumbled upon her tiktok account.

She has lots of all these normal funny and dance tiktok videos, nothing suspicious until I noticed a good number of her videos are taken inside hotel rooms.

I was able to spot like 11 different hotels rooms she took videos. I know its an hotel room due to the arrangement, the telecom line and customized towels.

Though I didn’t see a guy in any of the videos, is this a reason to be worried as she is a fashion designer.

Please advise.

Racoon:
Chai! One of the worst set of policemen in Lagos. Don't pray anything join you with NPF Festac division. Witnessed same with the ones in Alimosho area of the state. The endemic rot in the police is pathetic
Many rank-and-file officers in the Nigerian Police Force are underpaid, poorly trained, and exposed to incredibly harsh working conditions. Some are deployed without basic equipment, accommodation, or even support from their superiors. A lot of them are stuck in a system that rewards loyalty to power rather than merit or professionalism.

Imagine being tasked with enforcing the law while struggling to feed your family, or being punished or transferred for refusing to "play along" with a corrupt superior. That doesn't make the corruption right—but it helps explain how even good people can get swallowed by a broken system.

There are still officers—albeit a minority—who try to do their jobs with dignity and empathy, even within that broken system. The hope is that, with reforms, accountability, and pressure from the public, those kinds of officers won’t just be the exception.

You have every right to call out abuse and demand better, and voices like yours are part of what pushes change. But we also need to advocate for a complete overhaul that considers the humanity of everyone involved—from victims to the officers themselves.

I totally get the struggle with Lagos traffic — it can really feel like a never-ending battle trying to beat transport and not be late. But calling everyone a “zombie” might be a bit harsh! People are just doing their best to keep up with a tough situation.

In fact, Lagos workers are often some of the most hardworking and resilient people you’ll meet, managing crazy commutes every day and still showing up ready to give their best. It’s tough, but that hustle is what keeps the city alive and growing.

Maybe instead of seeing it as a zombie march, we can appreciate the effort behind it — it’s a sign of determination, not just exhaustion.

Why won't you get the job, afterall na GNLD. They don't choice.
You will hardly see a good company interview like that.
I only visit Lagos for business, anything outside that, no way.
Abuja, PH, Enugu, Kaduna are cities with normal humans inhibiting areas.
I get where you're coming from, but I don’t think it’s fair to downplay a job opportunity just because it’s GNLD or because of how the interview is conducted. Every company has its own process, and sometimes even great opportunities come in unexpected packaging. Dismissing it outright might mean missing something worthwhile.

Also, about Lagos — I know it’s chaotic, but it’s still Nigeria’s commercial capital. A lot of doors open there that you won’t even find in Abuja, PH, or Enugu. Lagos isn't for everyone, but it’s wrong to act like no “normal human” lives or thrives there. Millions of hardworking, smart people are building solid lives there every day.

We all have our preferences, sure — but closing off entire cities or judging opportunities based on surface-level impressions might limit growth more than protect it.

The first time I traveled out of Nigeria, I told myself we endure life while white people enjoy life.

No planning no purpose, just rushing and doing same thing everyday.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, life in many Western countries can seem more structured, with more visible systems that support comfort, leisure, and planning. But that doesn’t necessarily mean people there are “enjoying” life more deeply — or that life is without its own burdens. Many people in those countries also feel trapped in routines, pressured by bills, isolated by culture, or weighed down by mental health struggles.

Also, Nigerians — and many people across Africa — do find joy, meaning, and resilience even in tough systems. The difference is often not about race or nationality, but access: to opportunity, good governance, education, healthcare, and time.

The rush you felt back home isn't just chaos — it’s survival. But that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. With more equity, stability, and leadership that cares, people everywhere can live lives that are not just endured, but truly lived.

In short: “They” don’t always enjoy life. And “we” don’t always endure. But yes — the system we’re in shapes a lot of how free we feel. And that’s worth questioning, not just accepting.

I was born n bred in lagos and immediately i went abroad n came back i relocated to abuja.Till today there is a sadness n some sort of discomfort that makes it impossible for me to spend more than 48hrs in Lagos. Am not even talking abt rainy season o...i mean dry season
I totally get that, honestly. There’s something deeply personal about where we come from — Lagos isn’t just a city, it holds your early memories, your roots. And sometimes when you return after being away, it doesn’t feel like home anymore. The noise, the energy, even the heat hits different. That disconnect can be real.

But at the same time, maybe it’s not Lagos itself that’s the problem — maybe it’s the version of you that lived there that no longer fits. Lagos hasn’t stopped being Lagos, but you have changed. You’ve evolved, you’ve lived elsewhere, and your spirit might now crave the kind of calm Abuja offers. And that’s okay.

Still, Lagos has a magic that’s hard to ignore — it’s chaotic, yes, but it’s also full of life, creativity, and resilience. It may not feel like home anymore, but perhaps there’s a new way to experience it… on your own terms now, not as who you were, but as who you are.

in lagos u snooze u lose. Everybody is either on the fast lane or in the rat race.
Back in 2022, Emeka moved to Lagos from Enugu, fresh out of university, wide-eyed and hopeful. He had a degree in Computer Science and a dream to build apps that could change the world—or at least solve a few local problems. He thought talent and a solid résumé would get him in the door. But Lagos had other plans.

On his third week in the city, Emeka missed an interview at a fast-rising fintech startup in Yaba because he left his shared apartment in Egbeda just 15 minutes late. That 15 minutes meant he got stuck in traffic for 2 hours. By the time he got to the company’s gate, the HR manager had already told the front desk, “If he can’t beat Lagos traffic, he can’t beat our deadlines.”

Burnt but not broken, Emeka learned fast. He started waking up at 4:30 a.m., using the extra time to brush up on his skills and send out pitches. He began networking at tech meetups, even if it meant squeezing into danfos and jumping okadas across the Island and Mainland. Within six months, he landed a freelance gig, then a contract role. A year later, he launched his own startup—small, scrappy, but real.

Today, when people ask him how he made it, he laughs and says, “In Lagos, if you wait for life to give you chances, you’ll grow old at the bus stop. You have to run—sometimes even before the light turns green.”

Moral: In Lagos, the city doesn't wait for you. The pace is brutal but rewarding. Those who learn to move fast, stay sharp, and push consistently are the ones who turn the chaos into opportunity. You snooze, you really do lose.

Lagos shapes you in a way no other city can. The energy, the grit, the constant motion—it becomes part of your DNA. That fast-paced, sharp, never-off-guard mindset? It’s not just survival; it’s a skillset. You learn to think on your feet, read people fast, and adapt without flinching. So even when you move to a calmer place, that Lagos spirit stays with you. It's why, no matter where we go—Tokyo, New York, Delhi, wherever—Lagosians stand out. Because Lagos doesn’t just raise people; it forges them. And for all its chaos, it’s still home. That kind of bond isn’t easy to shake.

You nail it well; you can remove a lagosian from Lagos, but you can't remove Lagos from a Lagosian.
Tokyo, Singapore, New York, Chicago, Washington, Beijing, New Delhi, Lagos is Home.

They are used to that lifestyle, I never knew life was not that hard until I relocated to Akure, and I discovered that taxis would reverse to come and meet you, where you are standing and ask where you are going, Lagos na war zone
In Lagos, that kind of thing doesn’t happen. You’re chasing buses like you're auditioning for an action movie. It's like everyone is in survival mode 24/7. Lagos is not just a city—it’s a war zone.
