summary:
A young man from Nkalagu, Ebonyi State, has gone viral after pleading with activist VeryDarkMan to help provide a borehole for his community. He revealed that residents still drink from a dirty river due to the lack of clean water. Despite having a senator from the same village and a signboard indicating a past government water project, the project never worked—suggesting corruption and mismanagement. Frustrated with years of government neglect, he believes only VeryDarkMan can truly help them now.

A group of Nigerian soldiers has taken to social media to express deep frustration over the shocking food rations provided for nine troops deployed on a one-month mission.

In the now-viral video, one of the soldiers displayed the meager food items allotted to them, revealing that they were given only five fish to last nine men for an entire month.

He further revealed that the rations include just one paint bucket each of beans and garri, four pieces of yam, one litre of palm oil, 10kg of semovita, a medium-sized bag of rice, a few onions, and other limited items — all meant to sustain the entire team for 30 days.

Shockingly, the soldier also disclosed that ₦60,000 was collected from each of them, supposedly for feeding — yet this was the food supply they were given. This revelation has intensified public anger, with many questioning how funds meant for soldiers’ welfare are truly being spent.

The video has since gone viral, sparking outrage and concern among Nigerians online.

To be sincere, 1m can only start you a POS business. No lucrative business in present Nigeria can be up and running with 1m naira.
My advice, use that 1m and eat/take care of yourself, while you work on adding additional 1m to it by continuing doing that thing you did that gave you that former 1m.
And btw, do not partner with anybody here for business.

My own question is that was this mentioned in any holy book?

OP, Obi never did local government election in Anambra for 8 years. He only did one about 3 months to handing over to Obiano.

Ogaonos:
he will run independently coalition will push him to VP but 2027 na tinubu election

magoo10:
Hundeyin should calm down if not for how useless the government is we shouldn't be talking about 2027 almost 2years before the next elections.
It is not normal for Peter Obi to start declaring interest on how he wants to run now.he is more concerned on providing ideas for changes .

Guys, today I believe women are truly different creatures.

I opened a small business for my babe – just something modest. She's now pulling in about 100k monthly, but ever since the money started flowing, her attitude has changed completely.

Imagine, I sell her products sometimes and give old customers a small discount—like ₦100—and she starts fighting me. Argument upon argument.

Then if I borrow small money from her during emergencies (just like ₦2k or ₦5k), wahala go burst. Even when she knows I have money and I'm definitely paying back, the way she reacts eh, like I’m begging her.

She forgets one thing:
The capital is mine. 90% of the customers are mine and everything she’s using today, I handed it to her on a platter.

Now I’m realizing that, if this business grows bigger, she might not even want me anymore. She could decide to go solo and live her own life.

So now I’m asking you all:

Is the best solution to avoid empowering a woman financially ?

I was doing it with the mindset of being educated and forward-thinking, but now I dey reason am twice.

What do you all think?

Yemen encountered it, heaven did not fall. Just last night, Iran encountered it and nothing happen.

With 500.000 I don't care the nature of the business, provided I can make 20.000 daily profit from it, with my capital still intact.any such business ideas please share.

All ideas are welcome.

thats very bad of him. somebody tell him that he is marrying a human not an angel. just because of one single lie he canceled the marriage, Nigerian men are selfish wallahi

Looking at the country that we are, with millions without job, can you take up the job of a domestic staff for a high profiled politician like a governor, senator etc in the country?

Remember you are a graduate. Might even be a masters holder or Ph.D.

For me, I would gladly take it because I can achieve a lot in less than 5 years than someone who put in 35years in state or local government civil service.

I know a domestic staff to a former governor who has built 3 houses already. Someone in civil service after 20 years hasn't bought a land yet.

A proud father surprised his brilliant daughter with a brand-new car to celebrate her success in passing the bar exam.

Before presenting the car, the father recalled how his daughter had once promised him that she would graduate from the university with at least a second-class upper degree, if not a first class. She made a similar promise during her time at law school — and she delivered impressively.

In his speech, the father pledged to support his daughter in pursuing any level of education she desires, in any country of her choice.

He added, “But for now, as a lawyer, I don’t want you taking buses or taxis. So, I’m rewarding you with a new car.”

Overwhelmed with emotion, the daughter couldn’t hold back her tears. She hugged her father tightly, expressing her deep love and appreciation.

A few days ago, I came across a wedding that left many people talking. What stood out wasn’t the decoration or the venue — it was the groom. He had his face covered throughout both the traditional and white wedding ceremonies. No one knew why.

But now, the reason is out.

The man had gone through serious challenges that left visible marks. Still, this incredible woman chose to stand by him and marry him regardless. No drama, no hesitation — just pure love and commitment.

Women are now taking the lead in this cheating contest and they are becoming so bold and brutal about it.

Hopss:
Read about a case some few years back, a man bought coca-cola in quantities and shipped abroad, thinking of the profit he's going to make, when the consignment got to the designated country, it was shipped back to Nigeria , declaring it unfit for human consumption. so the man sued coca-cola bottling company. The following conversation took place
Prosecutor:Why did you produce a substandard product for me to export, there by making me to lose my resources.
Defendant:we never knew you wanted to export it, the drinks we produce in Nigeria is made for Nigerian market and not for export.
So you see, the coca-cola might look same but not the same quality. Mind you this really happened in Nigeria, it's no fiction .
