Had my mum lived in this era. Her left breast should have since been cut off . It happened in 1985. Thank God for her life, well lived. Herbs cured her and she lived in good health until last year April at age 90 when she passed.

I seriously doubt if it was cancer.

The Nigerian army should not adopt a defensive posture. Rather, they must take the fight to the Boko Haram terrorists. A strategy of waiting for attacks to occur and then repelling them will only prolong the conflict. To bring a decisive end to this war, the military should proactively utilize its advanced satellite intelligence to locate and target the terrorists enclaves.

It is absurd to demand the release of someone accused of serious crimes like treason. The evidence against Nnamdi Kanu is widely available for anyone to see online, which makes it difficult to understand how his case can be framed as purely political. This country is a joke if it entertains such notions. The rule of law must be allowed to take its course without interference.

In opinion, neither Donald Trump nor the recent Nobel Peace Prize laureate were deserving of the award. Personally, I think the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize is best upheld when it honors individuals or groups who have demonstrated profound and verifiable contributions to peace.

For instance, there are many deserving candidates such as:

1. Human rights activist like Maria Ressa, who continues to risk her life to uphold a free press.

2. Humanitarian Organizations such as the World Central Kitchen, led by Jose Andres, whom deliver meals in natural disasters and in conflict zones.

3. Diplomat like Nadia Murad who tirelessly campaigned for victims of genocide and sexual violence.

I think honoring such individuals will core values the Nobel Peace Prize aims to promote.

He flew all the way from Abuja to Jos to attend the funeral of an elderly woman simply because she was the mother of his party's chairman.Yet, when hundreds of people were killed in that same state, he never bothered to visit.

To be honest, I see no difference between the Buhari and Tinubu administrations. Nothing has changed.

The majority of the killings and kidnappings are carried out by Fulani herdsmen and a few jobless criminals. This crisis has become difficult to control because the perpetrators have grown accustomed to the easy money from ransom payments, and the victims have little faith in the effectiveness of the security agencies. They often prefer to pay the criminals to secure the release of their loved ones, rather than depend on the inept authorities.

The only viable solution to the rampant kidnapping and banditry plaguing the country is to reintroduce public execution for convicted criminals, which prove to be effective in the 1980s and early 1990s.

I hold Israel responsible for committing atrocities in Gaza. However, Hamas is also deeply culpable. They consistently use innocent civilians as human shields, a cowardly and brutal tactic that exacerbates the suffering of innocent civilians.

I believe it is time for the world's superpowers to take decisive action to eliminate Hamas once and for all. They have brought immense death and hardship upon the innocent people of Palestine, and their continued existence only perpetuates this cycle of violence.

Most banks think permanent staff are too expensive, so they hire a lot of temporary contract workers. Personally, I think working in a bank is like living in a dream world that's bound to collapse. Once they've gotten all they can from you, they let you go whether you're permanent or not. They often use age to grade as an excuse to remove people.

To make things worse, many bankers get used to a flashy lifestyle to impress others. So when they suddenly lose their job, they find it very hard to cut back on their spending and end up in a tough spot.

I don't understand why the US protects Israel.This isn't about religion, because other major Christian countries like Spain and Italy oppose Israel's actions in Gaza. In fact, Columbia is 100% Christian country and is against Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

The people in Gaza are suffering and need help. Some Christians who support Israel don't realize that Israel strongly dislikes Christianity. In fact, Jews often trust Muslims more than Christians. What is happening in Gaza goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Good day all! I need your help and would be glad to receive it. I couldn't finish NYSC when I should have, and that's seen me applying for remobilisation. I did the remobilisation some months back and the official helping me told me that I have been remobilised to Kogi. The issue I have been facing is trying refund the only payment I received before abandoning the program. I was told I can only do that through remita, and that's only possible using the NYSC platform. The questions I need help with are;

1. Do we have anyone that has experienced a similar problem and how do you handle it?

2. Do we have a corp member in Abuja that can help me enquire about this at the headquarters?

3. Is my remobilisation still valid or do I need to make a new request?

4. When will NYSC open the platform for remobilisation again?

5. I was paid for just a month that I served before abandoning the program, and my portal is showing "present" for about 7 months, how do I reconcile this?

Please help me, I need answers biko.

HI, my brother is going through same problem. Please how did you resolve yours.

I was hoping to see more of the university's facilities in this marketing thread. Students are often more interested in seeing the infrastructure, like labs, libraries, and campus amenities. Featuring those would be a more effective way to showcase what the university has to offer.

Even before I opened the thread, I knew the guy would have migrated to Europe or the USA. The West has always laid claim to the bright minds of developing countries, leaving the mediocre behind. This is why I support North Korea's policy of executing any of its citizens who try to escape the country.

The federal government ought to recognize people like him, who have contributed immensely to portraying Nigeria's positive image through entertainment, rather than focusing solely on politicians. I believe he is one of the last surviving musicians from the old school era, along with perhaps Funmi Adams. I wonder where she is now.

I hope that someday the federal government will acknowledge their contributions before they pass away.

Rochas is a very generous man and a respected philanthropist. He has positively transformed, and continues to transform, countless lives through his free education policy. His foundation runs many schools across Northern Nigeria, providing opportunities for those who need them most.

But despite his generosity, his performance as the governor of Imo State was notably poor. I do not know what happened to him during his tenure, but he seemed to lose touch with the realities of governance and the needs of the people.

This leads me to believe that business minded individuals do not always transition well into politics and public service.

Happy birthday to him.

So Tinubu fit take Rufai off air be that abi wetin America don turn to?

Nigeria needs to teach USA what is called free speech.

Is this the same Nigeria where the DSS pursues Omoyele Sowore simply for expressing his views?

China is recolonialising Africa not with force, but with economic strategy.

The remarkable transformation of China from a poor nation in 1945 to a global economic giant by 2025 is extraordinary. This progression clearly shows that for a nation to remain impoverished is, to a significant extent, a choice.

So, If China can turn its economic fortune positively, Nigeria can also do it.

He was one of my favorite actors. I frequently watch the movie he acted "Indecent Proposal."
I'm really sad with the news of his passing. Rest on Mr. Redford.

Imagine what the entire presidency is applauding. What is the significance of this cooking nonsense to Nigerians, exactly?

By the way, Hilda isn't the first chef to accomplish this. Cooking a large pot of rice is a normal tradition in Uzbekistan, as seen in videos like this one:

Imagine what the whole president is applauding.

fitzmayowa:
Sultana was pissed that Mensan moved to Ivatar immediately she gave him an attitude, plus Sultana and some the gals don't really dig Ivatar, the thought of Mensan moving to Ivatar and doesn't care to ask her what her issue is, is part of her issues with Mensan.....

This explains it because I had been wondering what went wrong. I prefer him with Sultana, though, because he is too refined to keep up with Ivatar’s gothic lifestyle.

Clement1111:
Mensah

Kaybobo,Kola has more chances than him

People detest him both inside and outside the hours

Mensan is very popular with the viewers, but the housemates don’t really like him. In fact, he even told Kulutre yesterday that he expects to be the most nominated housemate on Monday because the others dislike him so much.

A few days ago, I noticed that Mensan was very close to Sultana, but now they seem to avoid each other and barely speak. Instead, Mensan has grown closer to Ivatar, and now it appears that Sultana has some issue with Ivatar as well.

QueenJazz:
Personally, I like Victory (and Bright Morgan to an extent) but it doesn't feel like they have a very solid fanbase so idk.

Out of these ones you mentioned, the only one I can manage and root for is Koyin because he's the least insufferable to me.

Fair enough! Victory and Bright Morgan definitely have potentials. They just need a breakout moment to truly compete and Bright Morgan has already started building momentum with Mide.

As for Koyin, he’s a good choice. I could see him making it to the top five, but he’d need to give his fans more to rally behind. Right now, he’s seen as the baby of the house, which helps him get along with the girls but also means none of those connections are turning into serious ships.

The only potential spark was with Imisi, but their friction ruined that chance. If he wants to go far, he’ll need to step up whether through strategy, a genuine connection, which is unlikely, or even more controversial moments to create a stronger storyline.

Who else do you think has potential but isn’t getting enough attention? Or is there someone you’re surprised isn’t performing better?

After closely observing the housemates and their personalities, I’ve noticed that it’s much harder to predict a winner this season compared to previous ones. However, I believe the eventual winner will likely emerge from these top contenders:

1. Imisi
2. Sultana
3. Mensan
4. Koyin
5. Joana (if she stays competitive in the Arena games).

Personally, I’m stanning Mensan. He may come across as a bit much at times, but I really like his authenticity and unfiltered personality. He stands out in a way that’s hard to ignore.

A rainbow is simply a natural phenomenon caused by the refraction, dispersion, and reflection of sunlight in water droplets. There is no religious meaning attached to it, so please do not interpret it through scripture or attribute any spiritual significance to it.

People like Bwala are political jobbers. They lack any real ideology and are only interested in personal gain. As for the PDP, it is truly unfortunate to witness its gradual demise before our very eyes.

The current leaders have effectively sold the party to the APC, while they may still bear the PDP name. Their loyalty lies elsewhere.

It is disheartening to see a party that was once the largest and most ideologically grounded in Africa being dismantled from within. I wonder how Damagum and Nwayanwu will face posterity when history judges them as the leaders who presided over the downfall of such a great political institution. One thing is certain: history will not be kind to them.

So what becomes of the student now? They expelled him, and he took another JAMB exam. What exactly is the issue here? Would they rather have him drop out of school entirely? For a student already studying medicine to score this high in JAMB again proves that he is exceptionally intelligent.

This situation needs to be thoroughly investigated because something is clearly wrong somewhere. It makes no sense to punish a bright student who has demonstrated his academic capability twice. The authorities should reconsider their decision and address the root of the problem instead of jeopardizing his future.

It seems some people actually like and enjoy the precarious state of the nation under this regime. The so-called faction opposing it now appears to be merely seeking favors from the ruling party. If that weren’t the case, why didn’t they raise objections when the party was first adopted? Why only now?

Kemetian:
Honestly, the way these people talk and behave, you would never believe they are the same people that consume the same cattle they hate so much, from the northerners they detest so much.

It’s a real contradiction.

Ask them to produce their own meat now, and they will be staring at you like Dundee Uniteds.

I believe what they primarily need is enlightenment and education, though I must acknowledge that some individuals seem to harbor an innate prejudice against northerners. A sentiment whose origins still perplex me.

The irrational nature of this prejudice becomes particularly evident when you consider that many of these critics have never actually visited the North or interacted meaningfully with northern communities.

Their perceptions seem shaped by stereotypes, media narratives, and second-hand accounts rather than personal experience.

This is especially ironic given that northern Nigeria boasts some of the most hospitable region, where strangers are traditionally welcomed with open arms and treated with remarkable generosity.

What's more concerning is how this bias often leads to sweeping generalizations that ignore the tremendous diversity within north.

Perhaps this animosity originated from historical tensions and political rivalries, but none of these factors justify the blanket prejudice we sometimes witness.

If we're to progress as a nation, we must move beyond these divisive mindsets and recognize that every region has both its challenges and its strengths.

What is wrong with that? Not all Fulani people are wicked. If you’re fortunate enough to meet the kind ones, they might even gift you fresh milk as a gesture of goodwill.

The real issue lies in our tendency to stereotype all Fulani as evil because of the atrocities committed by a few, and this generalization is not only unfair but also ignore the peaceful coexistence of Fulani communities in other parts of West and Central Africa.

Do you know that Fulani constitute a significant population in countries like Senegal, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry, Gabon, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mauritania? Yet, you rarely hear about ethnic conflicts involving them in these regions.

The Fulani problem appears to be peculiar to Nigeria, and this raises an important question Why is Nigeria different The root of the crisis is due to two major issues:

1. Cattle Rustling in Northern Nigeria In states like Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi, the conflict began with Hausa cattle rustlers targeting Fulani herdsmen. This led to a cycle of retaliation, with the Fulani pursuing vengeance against not only the rustlers but also entire communities.

2. Farmers Herders Clashes in Central and Eastern Nigeria. For instance, In Benue, Taraba, and parts of Eastern Nigeria, the problem is different. Here, Fulani cattle often destroy farmers crops, leading to confrontations. When farmers retaliate by harming the cattle or even the herders the Fulani respond with brutal force and aspect of the Fulani is their long memory for grievances; they do not forgive easily and will retaliate no matter how much time has passed.

Sometimes, the locals may have even forgotten the initial offense, but the Fulani will return to settle the score.

I was also told that in the past, if Fulani cattle damaged a farmer’s crops, the victim could report the issue to the Fulani leader Ardo who would ensure fair compensation. This has helped maintain peace before things escalated into the violence we see today.

True, some Fulani groups have indeed been involved in violent acts, but it is important to avoid blanket judgments.

I think knowing the causes rather than outright condemnation of the entire Fulani ethic group is the first step toward finding lasting solutions to the crisis between the locals and Fulanis in some parts of the country.

I think Lagos is overpopulated. Why don’t you consider Northern Nigeria instead? It’s less crowded, more affordable, and has plenty of opportunities as well.
