Nigerians should pray Tinubu doesn't win 2027 Presidential election, because if Tinubu mistakenly wins 2027 Presidential election, crime rate will go over the roof, hookup will become a side hustle for virtually every Nigerian, including the old and the young, single and married because the economy will become so shattered, many Nigerians will struggle to feed just once a day angry
Where is the money those paying for the hookup coming from ?

PoliticsRe: Rivers APC: He Shouldn't Have Picked The Form Initially? - Wike Mocks Fubara by BarrElChapo(m): 8:02pm On May 25
Bluntguy:
I just sincerely hope Fubara has an ace up his sleeve because no governor can take the nonsense Wike has been dishing out to him on a daily basis and keep quiet like that, no matter what you have done for me. I will use the instrument of my office and fight you to a standstill. Honestly this Fubara's docility is very irritating.
There’s no card to play for him. His best play is to accept defeat, that in itself can be a card to play for the future. For now he is gone. Anything he does like decamping or what not will make the so called impeachment proceedings resurface again.

Contrary to the news being posted him and the NDC candidate aren’t related in anyway too.

I am currently dating two women. The one I love most just finished from Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, last year and she's currently serving. The other one just finished nursing science school. Both of them are unique in their own ways. At this point, I want to be serious in my life and stop playing games. Both of them have asked me to meet their parents, but I keep delaying the move just because of fear of making the wrong choice. I'm just confused. Nairalanders, waiting I go do

PoliticsRe: Rivers 2027: This Is How Fubara Will Help His Brother As A Sitting Governor by BarrElChapo(m): 12:46pm On May 24
Freshtruth:
If sim faubara knows the power he holds as a sitting governor during an election then he can help NDC candidate Blessing Fubara win very easily.
Wike has already make a mistake by presenting another ikwere man as Apc governorship candidate after him and Ameachi did 16 good years together as sons from Ikwere. His brother blessing can actually use that as one of the campaign strategy the election is not a primaries is the major election himself to be decided by the people not delegates
His brother sim is the number one citizen of the state he has the power to supervise the election by appointing special agent and security details on ground to prevent vote buyers and bus snatchers he can rig the election himself to his brother advantage.
Blood is thicker than water no matter the party he is afflicted in he will still work for his brother. Blessing to me look like who is mor blood than sim I believe is a pre arrangement made by sim cause if he had decamp to NDC he would had offend tinubu and he will be facing impeachment by now. I believe sim is just play smart here. Wike shouldn't rejoice yet the battle is far from over the main ijaws can sit and wash ikwere dominate their own stae after 16yrs in head of affairs of rivers.
This whole controversies might just play in favour of NDC presidential candidate peter obi . Rivers people might want to use the presidential election as a statement to what his to come during the governorship election.
Port Harcourt people did it in 2015 even when the sitting governor Ameachi was in disagreement with the president, Apc got just 60k votes
Blessing and Sim fubara are not related!

RomanceRe: I Cleaned My Girlfriend’s House And Instantly Wanted To Break Up by BarrElChapo(m): 7:21pm On May 23
oarowosola:
I met her sometime around April or May last year, and from the beginning, things seemed fine between us. Like every relationship, we both made sacrifices, and even though I don’t like keeping score in relationships, I know I gave a lot of myself into it. Over time, though, I started noticing certain habits and behaviors that became harder and harder for me to ignore. At first, I kept convincing myself that maybe I was overthinking things or expecting too much, but eventually I realized that I was simply becoming exhausted.

One of the biggest issues for me was cleanliness and basic responsibility. I’m not a perfect person, and I can be nonchalant too. I’m someone who enjoys my own space and doesn’t constantly need attention or communication. If someone is busy and doesn’t check up on me for a while, I honestly don’t take it personally. But what bothered me was the imbalance. She could disappear for days or weeks whenever she was occupied and expect me to understand, but if I withdrew into my own space just to protect my peace, she would become upset about it. That double standard was one of the first things that started weighing on me emotionally.

The first time I visited her house, I was shocked by how untidy it was. I’m not obsessive about cleanliness, but I believe there should be a basic level of order, especially when you know someone is visiting you for the first time. When she came to my place for the first time, I made an effort. I cleaned my house , mopped the floor, arranged the bed, and even bought small things just to make the environment more comfortable. It wasn’t about trying to impress her with money; it was simply intentionality. I wanted her to feel welcomed.

But each time I visited her place, the environment remained the same. One particular day, after she stepped out, I decided to clean the entire house myself just to prove a point. While sweeping, I found sugar inside the couch, rotting cashew scattered around, and several things that clearly caused unpleasant odors. I cleaned the parlour, arranged the bedroom, organized her bags, and put everything in order. When she came back, she thanked me, but I remember telling her that it shouldn’t get to the point where her boyfriend had to clean her entire house before it became livable. I told her clearly that if I visited again and the place was still in that condition, it would probably be the last time I came there.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. On another visit, the smell in the house was so terrible that I kept trying to trace where it was coming from. Eventually, I discovered a sack beside the couch she had been sitting on. Something inside it had gone bad, and the odor was unbearable. I carried it outside myself because I couldn’t understand how someone could stay in that environment comfortably. Later, when she went to make yam and eggs, I followed her into the kitchen and found another terrible smell coming from plates that had clearly been sitting there for days. Instead of cleaning the sink first, she simply pushed the dirty dishes aside and placed the yam directly on the dirty sink to peel it. In that moment, I felt completely traumatized and emotionally checked out.

Beyond cleanliness, I also started feeling unappreciated in the relationship. On her birthday, I called her early in the morning, posted her on my WhatsApp status, and celebrated her the best way I could at the time, even though I was broke. Yet she still complained that I didn’t make her birthday special enough. Meanwhile, on my own birthday, there was no call in the morning, no thoughtful gesture, nothing until later at night when she casually said she forgot because she had been going through a lot. What hurt me more was that I had actually bought her gifts for her birthday, including a designer bag and matching slippers I personally made for her. It wasn’t really about material things; it was the imbalance in effort and thoughtfulness.

I also noticed the same imbalance in everyday life. Whenever she visited my place, I was usually the one cooking, cleaning, and taking care of things even while working from home as a shoemaker. Most times she would just sit pressing her phone while I handled everything. She barely cooked for me throughout the relationship, and eventually I stopped going out of my way because I started feeling taken for granted.

Money became another issue. She would borrow money and either delay repayment or never complete it. As a shoemaker, the money I receive for jobs is not pure profit because most of it goes back into materials and production. Yet I still found myself lending her large amounts from jobs I was supposed to complete quickly. Even when she paid back partially, it felt emotionless, almost like she didn’t recognize the inconvenience it caused me.

The final straw happened recently when she visited me during a very busy work period. She suggested we spend the night in a hotel even though my house was already comfortable, and I agreed. I paid for the room, and when food was ordered later that night, I still ended up paying almost everything despite already spending heavily on the hotel. The next day, after returning from the market exhausted from buying materials for work, I expected to at least meet food at home since all the ingredients were available. Instead, I walked into a kitchen with bread wrappers and milk sachets scattered around while she had already eaten without cleaning up after herself. I still ended up cooking for myself.

The following morning, after she made food during the night, she left the kitchen in complete disorder again. Pots, plates, and leftovers were everywhere while I woke up early to continue working. Rather than cleaning up, she sat watching TikTok videos. Eventually I had to pause my own work to clean the kitchen myself because I couldn’t stand the environment anymore. At that point, I realized I was mentally exhausted.

What made everything clearer for me was understanding that this wasn’t just about dirt or money. It was about incompatibility. I realized I was constantly carrying responsibilities that should have been shared. I’m not against people hiring cleaners or getting help. I also take some of my clothes to dry cleaners. But there’s a difference between getting assistance and being unable to handle basic responsibilities yourself. If someone who is meant to clean your house doesn’t show up, there should still be a basic ability to sweep, organize, remove trash, and maintain a healthy environment. I couldn’t understand depending entirely on other people for something so fundamental.

At some point, I stopped seeing peace in the relationship. I started feeling drained instead of supported. Even during intimate moments, she would make comments like, “If you leave me, I will haunt you,” and although she may not have meant it literally, those kinds of statements only made me more uncomfortable emotionally.

Eventually, I accepted the truth that we are simply not compatible. I don’t hate her, and I’m not trying to paint myself as perfect. I just know that I can no longer continue in a relationship where I constantly feel emotionally exhausted, unappreciated, and burdened. I’ve reached a point where I no longer want to argue, explain, or force things to work. I’ve already made up my mind that the relationship is over, and at this point, I just want to walk away peacefully and move on with my life.

What do you think? Be nice please
