Appreciate what the government is doing and stop whining; for once the government in power has been able to stabilize our foreign exchange

Righteousness exalts a nation but sin a reproach to any people

Well done Mama NAFDAC. The sachet drink has become a menace to society since it is easy to get and buy. Gone are the days where you have to be very comfortable to afford 4 bottles of beer and even now, but with these satchets, you just need at least Figo (NGN500) and your eyes go red. Worse still, Keke Napep riders, vanagon dando drivers and okada riders are major consumers which directly puts the life of commuters in grave danger.

Early morning Tuesday this is what is been posted

Mr. President should give them what they want. They are our ally and we need them in the war against terrorism.

I agree. We need the United States in this guerilla war against Islamic Extremism and terrorism.

Good one opening that end to commuters.

I remember while working at Opebi-Adebola house, if you’re going to Maryland from GTB Opebi, your Bus would have to pass the bridge behind Sheraton and go and turn at Oasis after EKO Hospital and trust me there will be enough holdup coming from Ikeja to delay your trip, but with the opening of this route, it’s just a breeze to get to Maryland in less than 5 minutes.

Kindly visit a teaching hospital like someone said above. I empathize with you; I pray you receive joy in Jesus Christ Mighty Name.

Hello all, I just bought the Lexus ES330(2005 model). Those who know about this car, is it a good car? Although I really love how quiet and Luxurious it is. Any advice and suggestions will be great.

Congratulations and drive safely.

richiemcgold:
This kind of news is very very irrelevant. If mod push this to front page, I'll be forced to agree with those saying nairaland has lost relevance.

I’m very sorry but it did. Nairaland has the capacity to shape the minds of the average Nigerian youth towards productiveness but things that make it to the front page don’t promote growth. The topics shows that we major on the minor. Topics that downvotes one’s intelligence.

May our young little boys never encounter paedophiles and sodomisers in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen.

Great thing going forward since lobbying is legal in the United States.

⚖️ Is Lobbying Legal?

Yes — protected by the Constitution.

The First Amendment gives the right to:

“Petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

That’s the legal foundation of lobbying.


👔 What Lobbyists Actually Do

Not just “bribing” — that’s illegal.

Legal lobbying includes:

1. Meeting lawmakers
2. Explaining why a bill should pass or fail
3. Writing draft laws
4. Many bills are partly written by industry experts
5. Research reports
6. Supplying data to influence decisions
7. Testifying at hearings
8. Speaking in Congress committees
9. Organizing public campaigns
10. Encouraging voters to pressure politicians
11. Fundraising
12. Helping politicians raise campaign money


🎯 Why Lobbying Exists

Government makes decisions that affect:
• Taxes
• Business rules
• Healthcare
• Education
• Technology
• Defense
• Environment

Groups that are affected want their voices heard, so they hire experts to present their side to lawmakers.

In theory, lobbying helps lawmakers:

“Understand how a law will affect real people and industries.”

In reality, money and access create imbalance.

🏛️ What Is Lobbying?

Lobbying = Attempting to influence government officials (especially Congress members, but also agencies and the White House).

A lobbyist speaks on behalf of:
• Companies (Google, Pfizer, Exxon)
• Industries (oil, tech, pharma)
• Labor unions
• Nonprofits & charities
• Religious groups
• Advocacy groups (gun rights, climate change, civil rights)
• Professional associations (lawyers, doctors, teachers)

🧠 Simple Way to Think About It

Lobbying is like hiring a professional spokesperson to argue your case to the government.

Some have megaphones (big money). Some barely have a voice.

Finally repent for the kingdom of God is at hand; accept the Lord Jesus Christ today and be saved from the coming judgement

Live well and live right my people. Jesus Christ has come to give you life and life more abundantly

floss:
I always tell people that Nigerians are gullible people especially those their pastors, and church owners… they preach convenience to you….without listening to them you’ll still achieve what you’re supposed to achieve… Christianity has zero impact on your life as a person except becoming vulnerable to yourself.

Instead of preaching salvation, preach and teach your followers how to be financially secure and independent because at the end of every church service you demand their money in the name of offering and tithes

Comment from the pit of hell.

Was it not Christianity that helped shaped the United States 🇺🇸 and the Founding Fathers called it a nation under God? Today globally, they’re a benchmark for development and the USD is global legal tender. A nation founded under the principles of Christianity.

I don’t even need to talk about the United States main ally, Israel.

Nowadays people will want to talk down on Christianity so that they would be tagged as wise or woke but rather they wallow in corruption and always seeking validation from men.

Did they tell you being a Christian means you to not study or be diligent in what you do? If that is the case, why is EA Adeboye a P.hD holder in Applied Mathematics; and DK Olukoya is a Professor of Biotechnology with PhD in Molecular Genetics.

Cosmos Maduka who is the founder of Coscharis is a Billionaire and he follows the guiding principles of our Lord and Savior; he even preaches; Folorunso Alakija is also a preacher and Billionaire.

I’m not saying Christianity is a shortcut to riches but the principles of salvation is a benchmark to a life guided by morality and ethical standards if you follow through with the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He knew that a Nigerian would skip a meal just to buy airtime.

I don’t think this is true as at then, there was no data to support that an average Nigerian could skip a meal to buy airtime. I remember NITEL cards thou, but airtime stuff wasn’t prevalent. We had to go to NITEL offices sometimes to make a call.

But I must agree, Baba Dozie was a visionary. May God continue to bless the repose of his soul in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen 🙏

Only Jesus can save and deliver.

I know it isn’t easy, but our graduates needs to think out of the box.

A Degree in anything doesn’t mean you should be boxed into operating in that line of profession with the exception of medicine.

In this AI age, use AI to get startup ideas and be innovative. I know a childhood friend who studied law but delved into maritime law and today he’s with NIMASA.

I know everyone will find his/her foot one day. It’s just time.

Good luck with whatever your hands findeth to do.

south Africa thieves, ripping Nigerians via apc since 2015.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 South Africa how? Amazon Leo is a project within Amazon, making Amazon itself the owner. It’s part of Amazon’s Devices & Services division.

Amazon LEO (formerly known as Project Kuiper) is a satellite internet constellation project owned and operated by Amazon — the multinational technology and e-commerce company founded by Jeff Bezos.

NOA should have been running radio jingles in all major languages for the last 6 months, anyway better late than never.

America has the LARGEST Media Companies in the world, yet this OP had to get the update about the protest from a news site called The Australian.

Why?

Because the PDFile-shielding media in America is heavily COMPROMISED.

So time.com is an Australian media outlet.

Time.com is the digital presence of TIME, the well-known American news magazine and media brand.

📍 Where it’s based:
• TIME (and thus TIME.com) is headquartered in New York City, New York, United States. 

📌 Where it was founded:
• TIME was founded in New York City by journalists Henry Luce and Briton Hadden. 
• The magazine’s first issue was published on March 3, 1923. 

In summary: TIME.com originates from the historic TIME magazine, which was founded in New York City and continues to be based there today.

Nairaland is getting better by the day, you can post your Instagram and twitter link and it appears well on Nairaland post

Yes it’s very easy since those platforms present you embeddable HTML fragments which you can just paste.

Thank God Baba is safe. Glory be to God

No.

Cohabitation can lead to fornication and the Bible says in Hebrews 13:4 - “ Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

Wow wow Glory be to God for Baba’s Life; May God continue to bless and keep you in his stead in Jesus Christ Mighty Name Amen 🙏

Congratulations Baba

Very commendable; the Presidents team are stabilizing the economy. Security is the main challenge
