jesusjnr2020: Felix Umecha, the player who scored the first goal for Germany, who was also part of the players that prayed together, said after the game:
"In the game we're opponents, but after the game we're all Christians, we're all brothers, and we said a little prayer because we believe that Jesus is glorified through the game".
The same player celebrated his goal in the world cup by casting his crown before King Jesus.
youngrichnigga: Maybe she kept that for her and her team, she should have asked the owner to give her permission. But the oga sef lied about the N5 million budget for food, everything looks low-key with the type of coolers, etc
Caterers have no right to the food they are paid to cook.
nnamdi640: What advice can you give to me, I have this lady naturally she is sound but her mood swings is extremely 3 much, even my friend has advice me not to try to have anything with her because of her mood swings
Women with excessive mood swings usually leaves the men confused every time and it becomes hard for the men to know how to treat them. It makes men burn out. Now that you notice early, move on from her. Just keep your sensitivity high and you will discern the right one.
Let me tell you how I got married to my wife. Before I met her, I was colleague with the elder sister. She's quite a talkative but when she speaks I discovered she talks more about her Christian home. Not just Christian home,both mum and dad are prayerful and guides them well. And they are a very happy home. That's all I needed because she's well behaved and intelligent despite being a talker. I moved in to scoop the younger sister and my home is beautiful.
When choosing a partner, ensure she's from a home where you will be accepted as a son and not son-in-law. I'm a son in my inlaw's home and a brother to my wife's siblings.
Ameduedwin: Good afternoon house, I will like to be brief here.
I am about to take my wife home to her parents even though her both parents are dead, I married this lady 2019 with two kids, fast forward to 2020, immediately this lady delivered her first child, she changed, started misbehaving, talking back at me, with insult, nagging and all sort of aggressiveness towards me.
I call some few members of my family to come and talk to her, after talking it didn't yield useful result, in many case, this girl doesn't want me to touch her sexually, I have to manage her like that for seven years now, but now I have fed up with her character and I have decided to take her home to her parents house.
As of now nobody in her mother's room now, the room is under lock and key, and only their step mother that is in the compound for now.
My worries is my children, am I not exposing them to some danger of any kind? As for my wife she doesn't fill remorse at all, she have already started preparing her belongings to travel maybe because she knew my children are so glue to me, she thinks I can't send them home.
What did you advice me to do in this case. Thanks you all..
SQLmastar: Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.
I met this lady (a doctor) 4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31. She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.
Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up. I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth. She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin. Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much. On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.
Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?
I need honest advice.
May day! May day!! May day!!! If you have chosen to cry in that marriage you can continue with the preparation
mayor1814: United States Central Command has just released an official statement stating that the US forces, in compliance with the US blockade, have directed 29 vessels to turn around or return to ports.
The Command also noted that that reports circulating around in the past 24 hours stating some vessels such as M/V Hero, M/V Hedy and others have evaded the US blockade are all inaccurate.
🚨 JUST NOW: CENTCOM confirms IRAN LIED, the fake news LIED — American forces have turned away 29 VESSELS as part of President Trump's blockade
All those reports that ships successfully violated the blockade were WRONG. 🔥
Pope Leo, you are entitled to your opinion. If not for the US and Israel, the islamists terrorists would have outran the world. What are you saying concerning the killings happening in Nigeria?
So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.
But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.
From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.
It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.
So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.
I'm a married man and ny candid advice is look for another girl to marry. That pastor is an idiot and she will regret it.

government can quietly pick you up and nobody will know your whereabouts. How many times has this idiot and hypocrite spoken again terrorists and bandits?
Country of particular concern indeed. Some of the areas we need to protest is to ensure dangote gets crude before shipment is done abroad. If government refuses to listen, we block every channel through which crude oil leaves Nigeria. We seal pipelines and ports, if we cannot get fuel at cheaper rates, then the government will not earn forex.
ebubeson: It is not compulsory to play Godly music in weddings. You can play the type they play in clubs, brothel, beer parlour. Songs that are vulgar, immoral, corrupt, sexual etc, they are not Godly: but if the rapture takes place at the moment you play them, you aint going no where; also if anyone dies playing those musics, he or she goes to hell fire.
Good educational music for kids and schools, good national anthems etc are sinful.
There's nothing wrong playing Africa queen during wedding and other love songs. If trumpet sounds during the wedding, it's not the songs that will make them miss heaven. The clothes, food and other things are found in the world.
uche87: On the 30th of January, 2026, I fell ill while at work. After struggling through the rest of the day, I returned home to rest. When my condition worsened, I decided to visit the Accident and Emergency (A&E) unit at my local hospital.
I arrived at exactly 10:13 pm. Within a minute, I was booked in by the receptionist and asked to wait. Shortly after, a nurse called me, took my details, and recorded my vital signs. I was then asked to return to the waiting area to see a doctor. That moment never came.
Instead, I was called twice more by nurses to repeat the same observations, each time urged to remain patient. A notice board nearby displayed the previous day’s estimated waiting time — seven hours. My ordeal lasted until 9:30 am the following morning. I never saw a doctor. Eventually, a specialist nurse briefly attended to me, offered verbal reassurance, handed me a leaflet, and asked me to leave. The A&E waiting area became a temporary shelter. People turned chairs into makeshift beds. Others left in frustration. The environment was chaotic. Police officers intermittently brought in injured suspects in handcuffs, adding to the tension and discomfort.
As I sat there, exhausted and unwell, my thoughts drifted back to Nigeria. I remembered a day in 2016 at a government hospital in FESTAC Town, Lagos, when my condition deteriorated so badly that the crowd insisted I jump the queue. I also recalled how, at the private hospital attached to the multinational firm I worked for, I could see a doctor within five to ten minutes. Now, in the UK, seeing a doctor sometimes feels like winning a lottery. According to The Sun, 554,018 patients in England waited 12 hours or more in A&E in 2025. Data from the Nuffield Trust shows that during peak periods, over 61,000 patients per month experienced 12+ hour waits — around 11% of all emergency admissions. At a minimum of 12 hours per patient, this amounts to over 6.6 million hours lost annually.
Unsurprisingly, many Nigerians living in the UK now travel back home for major surgeries and treatments. It is often faster, cheaper, and far less stressful.
While the quality of healthcare in the UK and Nigeria may appear worlds apart, few imagined that Nigeria would one day serve as a medical lifeline for those living abroad.
Beyond healthcare, the economic reality is equally sobering. Many Nigerians sold land, cars, and family properties to relocate. Today, they struggle under hyper-inflated rents, rising energy bills, and high living costs, barely staying afloat. Securing a white-collar job often feels like requiring divine intervention. The system appears structured to trap certain groups within physically demanding, low-paying roles. Warehouse work destroys the body. The care sector drains emotional and physical strength. Mental health support work, though meaningful, exposes workers to extreme violence and psychological trauma.
NHS England records over 100,000 violent incidents against healthcare staff annually — an average of 285 assaults every day. In June 2025, Irene Wanjiru Mbugua, a 48-year-old care worker originally from Kenya, was tragically killed by a patient in the West Midlands. While rare, such incidents reveal the severe dangers frontline healthcare workers face daily.
Social conditions are no less concerning. 21% of people in the UK — about 14.2 million individuals — live in poverty. Without social safety nets, this figure would skyrocket. Additionally, 24 million people receive at least one form of state benefit, including pensions, disability support, and working-age benefits, highlighting the scale of economic vulnerability.
In terms of safety, police recorded 53,047 knife-related offences in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025. While the UK remains safer than Nigeria overall, rising violent crime remains deeply troubling.
For parents seeking better opportunities for their children, another danger lurks — hard drugs. Government data shows 16,212 children aged 17 and below were in drug and alcohol treatment between April 2024 and March 2025, a 13% increase from the previous year. This underscores the growing exposure of young people to harmful substances.
Meanwhile, in Nigeria, social life thrives. Community bonds remain strong. Laughter is louder. Life feels fuller. In contrast, the UK work culture often reduces life to an endless cycle of work, bills, exhaustion, and survival. Tragically, between 2024 and 2025, several Nigerian students and workers collapsed and died in the UK due to stress and exhaustion, including cases in South Wales and Hertfordshire.
I’ll end on a lighter note. The stress levels here are so intense that almost everyone snores like old power generators. Many refuse to believe it — until shown video evidence. This was never the case back home.
The hustle has shifted gears. And this one runs at a dangerously high speed.
Richtaiwo: The noise may continue, pandemonium disguised as conviction, amplified by loyal megaphones, but some certainties remain stubbornly unmoved. The so-called messiah, meticulously packaged and endlessly marketed, will not be president of Nigeria.
Even if fate, chance, or judicial gymnastics were to block Tinubu, pitobi is still no alternative at all. What is being sold as moral clarity is merely rebranded illusion, elegance without substance, rhetoric without weight. As for the supporters, they mistake volume for validity and outrage for argument, cheering the wrapping while ignoring the emptiness inside. Common sense would simply call it a well-polished fraud.
Thr one that is president, what has he done for Nigerians? Idiots and tribal bigots everywhere.
muykem: Those are the bodies in charge of world economy. They have both skills and knowledge to focast and measure. I know that you believe Peter Obi a third class in philosophy than IMF and world bank.
Has the standard of living improved and inflation reduced for the betterment the lives of Nigerians during the two year period stated in that report?
St********y is running in Oliseh vein and everyone of you criticizing Osimhen. Some of you behave like eeeeeeee.....d..... I....... O.... T.....

What Lookman is facing in his club is a billionth time worse than Osimhen's reaction. All of you are kids.
