Who remembers "mama Sunday" film advert. That was Francis Duru in action.

Politicians have no shame.

Jakumo:
No wonder so many of them grow up brain damaged.

I don't agree with your statement

I recall at the university when we doing final clearance before NYSC. A lady with Niqab joined us on the queue. One of my friends who knew her started conversing with her and suddenly noticed a movement on her back. She was carrying a new born (barely 10 days old)! The baby was all covered up and was sweating profusely. We quickly took the baby off her back for fresh air. That child could have suffocated to death.

She was a new mom, naive and wearing a niqab.

Gave him a picture of myself at an event. Back then, we only had hardcopy pictures. He came back to say he showed the pictures to his friends and that they all laughed at my shoes. Those shoes were a gift and they were the only decent ones I had. If only he knew the efforts i put into looking "good" for that occasion...

The fact that he joined them in laughing at my "pekere" shoes really pissed me off. That was many years ago. It killed whatever I had for him. We're still good friends though. Never told him. He never understood why I kept him strictly in friend zone.

Monica and the other woman are a delight to watch.

@op please go to herbs seller (they are called elewe omo in any of the markets in Lagos). Ask them to give you Sulphur and etubon and that they should blend them for you. Buy Vaseline and thoroughly mix it in. Apply morning and night after bath. You can also give them the Vaseline so they mix it for you there. It works.

if i didnt just visit my girlfriend in Langa in Capetown last month, if we didnt visit another lady in Nyanga , i would assume you guys are talking about one eldorado calved out of Africa. By the way, it was so much fun at Tiger's meat club mingling with my girlfriend's family and locals but i must confess, an average Nigerian is living better than most of these guys, they just dont know.
These people have known themselves for over 30 years. You know why? They all live with their parents till date, they start making babies in their parents house and they all contribute money to buy electricity like school kids.

Most of south Africa is not better than Nigeria. I agree that driving in Capetown was a nice experience because of good road networks that are well marked with drivers respecting the road because i rented a car the whole time but SA is not a dream country that any serious Nigerian should talk about.

true. Lived in Capetown and you rightly captured the situation of things over there.

I used to go to Nyanga to buy chicken (local chicken) when I got tired of the soft chicken from the stores. I felt much safer visiting Ajegunle in Lagos than I did visiting Nyanga. I always hurriedly did my transactions so I could leave Nyanga. I'd never seen such level of concentrated poverty. This was about 16 years ago.

Capetown itself is beautiful but not safe for walking around at night.

Ponmoalata:
This Annie self

Did you pause your life, waiting on Tuface?

She should have rejected him, at lease once until baba brain reset

Now you make it seems like you're cheap and always eager to be with him

she's been with 2face since when she was a teen. It's hard to even pretend that she can live without him. Add the fact that they have kids together into the mix, it becomes harder. Perhaps if 2face was a woman-beater, she could reject him.

Legitiscool:
Annie na better woman anyday

Fowl nyash don open now, you think to manage 2face as wife over 10 years na beans

lol. So na manage dem day manage 2face.

GloriousGbola:
A loan of 75k from the 'uk'? Not from a named and known bank? A UK bank will give you a loan to run a business in Nigeria outside of their regulatory framework?

Dey lie Dia.

it could be a personal loan from a bank. He won't tell them it's for business in Nigeria.

My mum fell and broke her hip. She's undergoing surgery and I'm beginning to think of post-surgery care.
Does anyone know any reputable orthopedic/physiotherapy clinic with good in-patient facilities in Abeokuta or Lagos where she can be nursed back to recovery after surgery?
There will be a family member with her but due to her age, I don't think the post-surgery care can be handled at home.
Please help with recommendations

Country where you can can't safely walk around in their cities once it's 7/8pm.

Even in our notorious Ajegunle, 8pm is still like day.

ARISHEM:
Even in religious grounds many of those smiling at you are not good people

even among close family members. They will collect rent from family property, sell family land and ghost everyone once money enters their hands.

Humanity is indeed the greatest wealth like you've said. When i see how the government in Canada cares for people living with different kind of extreme disabilities from cradle to birth, easing their parents of the
physical and financial burden, I realize those parents are wealthy without even knowing it.

CreatedtwoRule:
You are poor as a Nigerian living in Nigeria, get involved in accident and see if you are not poor upon all the money you think you and your family have stacked up anywhere assuming you are one of such Nigerians,
on that accident scene people would steal all they can lay hands on first, then make videos to upload to their pages before ever rendering help, then you will know love, humanity is the biggest wealth, which is lacking in Nigeria. All we know is the rest die if only all the money mine! .

Sensiblerealist:
Though it's difficult for me as I don't like to engage in stereotyping or profiling but deep down, I ask myself why it especially easy for the Fulanis to kill without remorse amongst all the tribes in Nigeria.
It is something you can feel when you see them at close range, especially the Bororo extraction, butchering a fellow human was nothing until they now got access to military grade weapons.
It is well

Even at work especially government office, if you lose guard, they can end your career.

Firstcitizen:
I often visit Nigeria and no one offers even a small gift like a tuber of yam to take back but they know how to ask for help from time to time. A tuber of yam is nothing but the heart behind it matters.

I have stopped giving out money to people in Nigeria, no matter the reason.

some family members would intentionally take out a debt expecting you to pay on their behalf. They know your parents will intervene and beg you to pay eventually. The black tax is real and requires a conscious firmness.

terrezo2002:
Michael Jackson.
When the others die, you won't hear of them that much again. When they are no longer active, they lose their relevance.
I was surprised to see a little boy who wasn't born saying Michael Jackson was his favorite musician.

my 7 year old son is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and always tries to do the moon walk. That guy had so much influence even without social media or even internet. Every child, including the ones in the villages, knew Michael Jackson

nairalanda1:
The purpose of the ruling is to make it harder for Boko to use normal banking methods to move money

Plus his admission of guilt means that he was a willing participant

I understand your point but even at that, 20 years is an excessive sentence.

Mariangeles:
Mama Monica has taken over.

"Na you go bury your papa!"
That woman wicked, abeg. 🤣

At least, Patience characters dey love her daughters wey dey give her money.

mama Monica is on another level. Very nice acting. Mama Monica interpreted her role really well. Love the facial expressions and how she responded when papa Monica said he was ill. She's hilariously wicked.

Stop posting on social media. Asides the inherent intrusiveness of the platforms, you just never can tell who is trailing you or your family members.

APOPTOSIS:
The DeviL has a lot to learn from the dark hearted black man. To what end are all these?
Did the Devil ever come close to any of these atrocities?

even devil dey learn work o. I lack the adjectives to describe these perpetrators.

When I was a classroom assistant many years ago, there was a boy of similar age as the one in the picture who slept after lunch almost everyday. He always came to school with a full lunch pack and would finish everything and sleep after. Waking him up was difficult. Most times, we left him.

He always took the last position but because his parents were always the first to pay school fees, we changed the ranking system from position-based to percentage-based. That way, his parents wouldn't think he was doing poorly compared to his mates.

Long story short, he got a full ride Masters scholarship to the US after his first degree in Nigeria. Surprisingly, the scholarship had absolutely nothing to do with what he studied at the Nigerian university. There was a creative side of him (story writing/poetry) he discovered and seriously explored while at the Nigerian university and during NYSC. By the time he finished service, he'd had some works published internationally. That earned him the scholarship.

I think being well-rested, being less pressured as a child really helped him. My assumption may be wrong as I'm not a child psychologist.

My oyinbo church for Canada go put coffee, hot chocolate, tea, iced tea and sometimes baked goods and fruits at the entrance of the church. You will see worshippers with their cups of coffee on one hand during sermon and Bibles on the other. The service is orderly and people feel blessed. The church is growing. Our church wahala too much for naija abeg.

Sorogacy. Since it's now becoming popular, that could help.

Exceptionally brilliant guy.

The pharmacist acted professionally. She demonstrated empathy and gave consideration to privacy interests by asking the patient to come closer. What else could she have done?

9. When you meet a girl's father for the first time, the first thing he wants to know is what you do for a living. Dey play.


When you start your answer with "Actually" then her father loses interest

True. If what you do consistently provides a means of livelihood, you wouldn't start with "actually".

How did they know the shipbwas going to Europe?

Ibehchizzy:
u dey escort ur pikin go write exam na pampering?
Una dey reason like empty heads
No shame in fooooling anymore

it's all pampering. I wasn't escorted to any exam centre and I know teens that aren't escorted because they at least 17-18 before attempting Jamb. You'd go a week before the exam to locate your centre so it's easy on the exam morning.

Love800:
I don't understand this escorting of a thing.

During my time, i located my exam centre myself.

true. There's so much pampering of kids these days.

Rice wasn't so common. Also, back then, life was simple. We appreciated the little things.
