I am not underating anyone.. I am a manutd fan and we didn't even make it this far, so who am I to underate any team that made it this far ? grin

I just want PSG to win it because of Mbappe, I think he is the next face of world football, my worry is the money behind football will "try" and make this happen just like they did to Leo Messi when dinho was winding down at Barca.. lots of favorable calls for Barcelona that season..

Swiss Garri should be more nutritious than ours, same as Swedish Ogbono
Not so much oga.

There's a difference. Personally I don't think any country does tomatoes like Italy. Even today in the stores across the world.. it is Roma tomatoes.

We could also have the same conversation in anything else out there.. Beer etc.. we can't compare star, life etc with German beer which many people think is the best but for me , I give it up to Belgium. I think k Belgium has the best beer.

We have chocolate factories in Nigeria but for me, I am in between Swiss chocolate or Belgian chocolate because I think those tastes better and their quality is top notch that spans centuries.


9ja products they are typically good in the first few years and then they drop their standards.. check five alive, chivita products etc..

Just like everything else..

FamilyRe: Loss Of Libido Due To Depression: How Does One Revive It? by Badgers14:
ImoleNaija:
For weeks, I have lost interest in sex. Even when I try to force the erection, I lose it before mounting, as there's no strength to sustain it at all. All her words of encouragement/motivation hold no water. She's so pitiful.


Experienced husbands, how do you manage your sex drives & financial depression?
Financial depression.

First sort yourself out first.. once your mind is relaxed you will enjoy sex well. But if your mind is not there.. your dongoyaro will be on hibernation.

Remember sex is more of a mental/emotional game... same situation is even if someone is not depressed.. if they lack sleep, they don't won't enjoy sex as well and the mind is not ready to connect all the "wires" in the persons mind to be able enjoy the activity.

This is one of the many reasons why it is good to have a hobby.

If you love to watch football, wrestling, photography. Just try to engage in those things to bring your mind down.

There's this channel on YouTube that I enjoy their skits.. Gags for laugh. Check them out. You might like it. It is something that can losen one up..

If you have Netflix, those cooking shows.. greatest British baking show etc.

On YouTube... check out those walking tours.. say walking tours of Rome, Milan, any city of your choice.. and enjoy the views.. I personally find these things relaxing and enjoyable..

I hope you find them helpful

Cheers!

I don't like the big pack noodles. I prefer the smaller packs. I'm old school like that. The only problem is that these days as a fully grown adult, I don't eat noodles as an in-between meals. I eat it as a full meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner so I make 6 to get my filling. Someone called me a glutton because of this and I must fry eggs with it.

Abeg adults, when you make noodles at home, how many do you cook?

So if you are pained by Atiku's action of not voluntarily releasing his results, then go to Court!

Whether the structures are owned by yoruba or TIV people, it is irrelevant.

What is relevant is for the government to have a master plan and enforce it.

Stiff enforcement of tough penalties for any government officials collecting bribes.

In a situation that patient tells the nurse to pray for him/her nko? Will she still be sacked?

Well, Nigerians and our religious obsession, una don see am nau
I have the same question too but on reflection I am thinking that maybe the patient was the one that reported the nurse to warrant her immediate firing.

Nevertheless, a warning/ reprimand might have been more appropriate but again maybe the nurse have had other violation under their belt warranting the firing. Or felt like them religious people that are consumed by their churches even after initial reprimand was still headstrong.

That is the ideal . But it is never like that in real life. Not everyone does the right thing all the time. Even you . Even in the US or EVEN China with death penalty people in government are still corrupt . There is always someone in Government that will be corrupt .
But this should not be about the government . The law is the law regardless of the people in government . That is why there are different levels of government to checkmate issues like this . You cannot absolve the crimes of the citizen who bribed the government official . If the punishment is to demolish the property , then it should be done . If the punishment for the official is death by firing squad, so be it .

to be clearer, are you saying because a corrupt government official gives go ahead despite the law , the citizen should be pardoned?

PS-I am a guy
Oga sir. That's what I am saying. The government official that was supposed to enforce the law was the one that misled the citizen.

How is that right? The proper procedure would have been for the citizen to be compensated first before the house is demolished because the government is a culprit in the scheme.

Had the government officials done their job right the first time.. we wouldn't be here.

From DM
Manage the two until you are well established and invested.. them you could decide to leave government work and become self employed.

How long have you been in the business? How much have you saved? Can you divest your investment to have another layer of financial security? ( you don't have to answer these questions online here but this would be questions I would ask my self if I was faced in a situation like this).

The problem is, many new businesses once they make profits in the first few months , go all in ... sometimes it works, sometimes not.

The best to do is to nurture the business while still having that steady flow of income no matter how small from your Government job.. then build up the business then go all in if you must by quitting the government job.

Government is the people . People are good and bad . There is no misleading here . It was either lack of due diligence or bribery and corruption . Either way , it is against the law.

Eg . If you get to a traffic light at red . You know you are not to move , but you give the traffic warden 50 Naira and drive through then you have an accident or road safety catches you , will you sue or blame the government ?

Government officials or enforcers accepting bribe doesn’t change the law. You only have rogue officials . And they are also breaking the law by accepting or soliciting bribes . Only the officials will be held accountable. Not the government . That is why a corrupt governor will go to jail and not the whole state government .
Oga/madam..

You misinterpret the meaning of government in your explanation.

Those corrupt individuals are government employees that enabled corrupt activities.

At the time, they were representative of the government not just a mere citizen.

They should have done better by enforcing the laws which they signed off on.

If someone ran a red light and the driver offers them a bribe.. the correct thing to do is to reject the bribe and possibly arrest the offending individuals for breaking the law and obstructing the law.

Ok ohh. So the fact you know there is kleg, you then settle one so called official that could be posted out the next week, no receipt or approval, it then gives you the boldness to continue to pour your hard earned money into the property? That is being smart by half. The joke is on you.
Oyinbo calls it penny wise pound foolish. (pardon the quote, just a general reference and not to you personally).
Oga/ Madam.

I understand your point but I think you veered off the wrong direction.

Now, if you have gone through an approval process you might understand more.

I speak from experience in lagos state precisely.
I owned a property there once upon a time. (Location withheld).

When I acquired the property, I paid lawyer and surveyor and did the ground work etc. The thing was at the time, they said government charges xx amount of money to register land in this and that area. And I paid.

House was built on the land, I went through the same thing , paid for approval plus the envelope involved.

Now fast forward 5 years later after i sold the property, then house plus others in that area was demolished because of illegal structure because the new government had other plans for the area.

The person that purchased the house from me, even though it has been 5 years past.. I felt so bad for him.

No one ever told me the land was government land.. infact in the office when I questioned the large amount of money they are seeking to approve the building plan.. the oga brought files of others that have paid.. saying see I don't have to show you this but here you go.. this pesin that orsin have paid.. some even paid higher than they were demanding from me.

I went to some of those individuals back then and confirmed they paid so and so amount of money etc.

But nevertheless, those houses were all demolished even though they had a government approval. One of the things the government officials was saying at the time was ehn.. the government at the time have changed, the home owners should go and hold the government officials that signed off..

That got me thinking, isn't there continuity in government? So does it mean that if someone owed the past administration, the new administration will forgive those debts?

So this is where I draw my opinion from my own experience. If my land was a government land, why didn't the official tell me so instead of telling me I need to pay a higher approval fee because that's what government charges for lands and building approval in that axis, I was even provided with an official memo directing them to charge the said amount.

So the government has to do better by her citizens.

This is just wrong!!
