Politics › Re: Xenophobia: Many Nigerians Prefer To Die In South Africa Than Return Home — Obi by Basicend: 1:25pm On May 26
To be honest, the current ruling party has destroyed this country so terribly.

A country where it's citizens are killed everyday in mass, coupled with serial kidnappings, cutting of heads, hands and bodies of fellow human beings have become the order of the day due to political and religious guise.

To even worsen the case, more than 85% of Nigerians currently sees eating 3 square meals as a luxury. They can't even dream of a balanced diet.

For a long time, I have been an advocate of d idea of staying in Nigeria, but this stark insecurity issue is far beyond terrible to behold.
Romance › Re: Lady In Tears As Her Ex-Boyfriend Gets Married by Basicend:
When it comes to marriage consideration nowadays, men are basically looking for a lady that will give them peace of mind and respect them.

Many of these ladies want to control and trick the man completely thereby offering all sorts toxic and deceptive attitudes. Eyes usually gets clear at a later age.

A woman with good character and humility is a golden price anytime.
Politics › Re: Terrorism In Oyo And Tinubu’s Yoruba Test- Farooq Kperogi by Basicend:
President Tinubu is not the one ruling Nigeria. There are lots of things he wants to do that he cannot do.

Our Yoruba and Igbo young men have abandoned the Nigeria military signficantly to Northerners. Many of the bandits / terrorists received weapons directly from NA.

The Igbo guys even say that they should not bring recruitment to their side at all.

So who is in charge of our arms and ammunitions? The northern guys that constantly responded to NA recruitment calls have grown tru the ranks and flooded the system.

We southerners are here speaking Grammer and doing business up and down, but they (northerners) are planning something different.

One Aboki told me in Ikeja about 3 months ago that we Yorubas think that Hausas and fulanis are fools and uneducated, but that we will all understand that we are the fools very soon.

I won't say much. Our strategic and defensive strategy has been very poor. It's only fear of external influence that is still calming the north down a little right now. It's a sad case.
Career › Re: How Much Is A Good Salary In Present Day Nigeria? by Basicend:
Slizzords:
Had to open a shop for her, with like 5.2m so that I can reduce expenses on myself. Just normal things, nothing out of the ordinary.
If you just opened a biz for your wife with 5.2m, that's almost your salary for 6 months.

And asides that, you will still be giving ur wife monies for household expenses and her general expenses.

So I think u need to sit down with her and streamline ur expenses together. Perhaps you are pouring water into the basket from her side.

Once u have achieved that, try and force yourself into daily, weekly or monthly savings into platform like cowrywise or put it in ur savings account in No-debit-Status and save it there.

If your income is salaried, it's important that you create a side biz for yourself.
Foreign Affairs › Re: France Bans Israel's Security Minister From Entering The Country by Basicend:
God1000:
The guy is simply a terrorist alongside satanyahu, unfortunately terrorist sympathizers in Nigeria continue to worship such character
Guy,

Imagine if it was Iran that had a nuke or excessive satellite guided hypersonic or cruise missiles, Israel and the United States wld have been wipped out by now if they don't proclaim Allah.

US / Trump (And Nathanyahu) will never win the war with Iran becoz the global legacies / charter created by the West which makes them not to want to attack or blow up the Iranian citizens. That's what paralized Trump. Their war intent was just to change Iranian leadership or scare them stop Uranium enrichment, which will not work.

Islam is gradually capturing the EU nations especially France, Spain and England for now due to excessive imigration. Hence, their actions.

Look at mass brutal and serial killings we are facing in Nigeria currently from the African proxies of Iran from the North. That's a simulation of what Iran will do if they have real global or regional power of the world in their hands.

Lol. Canada self has castest. Global order is shifting to the east.
Politics › Re: Desmond Elliot Rejects Lagos APC Primary Result, Vows To Challenge Process by Basicend:
Honestly, this guy (Desmond) is very dull.

Is he even a Lagosian to start with? He needs to be grateful for undeserved years that his constituents gave to him serve them, and cleverly wait for better days ahead.
Business › Re: Otedola To Invest $100m In Dangote Refinery by Basicend: 10:03pm On May 20
For Femi to want to expose himself of such huge amount to Dangote refinery, he surely have clear reports from Dangote and other sources of how liquid and profitable the project is.

Even considering that he is divesting his exposure from Geregu Power to this one, shows how viable the Dangote refinery plan is.

Nigerians that have the cash should consider investing massively too.
Celebrities › Re: Niniola Husband, Michael Ndika Is Dead by Basicend: 8:54am On May 20
kaymart:
"my husband died".

Hmmmm

Just like that....Her husband. The way she announced it, and on social media cir that mattrr
Hmm, I had exactly same thought.

These ladies ehh. I dont want to speak what is in my mind.

May the soul of the gentle man rest in peace.
Crime › Re: Ogbomoso Teachers Protest The Kidnapping Of Schoolchildren, Colleagues In Oyo by Basicend: 4:18pm On May 19
These guys are gradually entering and encroaching Yoruba land.

If President Tinubu cannot achieve a law that restricts herdmens open grazing to the north, then I personally believe it's time we seperate this country into 2 or 3 parts.

The North should embrace their terrorism to themselves. Enough is enough.

Their ultimate plan is to enter Lagos. They are moving in phases.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Xabi Alonso Announced As New Chelsea Head Coach by Basicend: 1:30pm On May 17
Alonso can't do any miracle, and he will be sacked within 1 year if the deluded Chelsea American owners do not change their useless model of refusing to sign Elite and prime players.

If Chelsea had signed Osimhen for example when the dude was eyeing them, they will not be in state they are now.
Christianity Etc › Re: Shot In The Head For Not Denying Jesus, They Stole Her Sight Not Her Joy(photo) by Basicend: 10:24am On May 17
RollinTNDA:
A Very foolish move if you ask me

Even Peter that denied Jesus 3 times
You think say him no get sense🙄🙄
Make Romans kpai just like that

Now Jesus come build his first church on Peter. On this Rock I will build my church.

Person wey deny Jesus 3 times
If you like no get sense
Go and read about how the same Peter later died for Christ.

His death and pain for Christ was far more brutal than what that woman suffered.

God is patient with every man. Be careful how you speak about things you know little about.

You will never hear anything of such in the north. The north and south have different objectives.
Politics › Re: You Can’t Demand Development Without Paying Tax, Says Tinubu by Basicend: 9:43am On May 16
SmartPolician:
The only way Tinubu knows how to generate revenue is through taxes or inflicting pain on the citizens.

How can a few agbadoh people impose this dullard on over 200 million people and make us believe he's the best we got?
Well, I agree with you.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Warns Taiwan Against Declaring Independence, Hours After Summit With China by Basicend: 12:23am On May 16
Skullminers1:
Trump my man,a very smart man who knows how to play chess game very well.
Trump is using Taiwan to bait China in ongoing conflicts with Iran which will be difficult for China to support Iran with the military supplies now that USA said they might not support Taiwan independence
Trump forgoing Taiwan to China, is equivalent to loosing 70% global silicon chips manufacturing. That is too huge a loss to the USA. He knows that.

I don't think he is playing a bait game here. He is just kind of helpless, and needs to be careful.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Warns Taiwan Against Declaring Independence, Hours After Summit With China by Basicend:
DrAda:
Ouch.. This is not good. America cannot be trusted anymore
Not really. The reason why America is interested in Taiwan / China issue is coz of TSMC. America doesnt want China to control major global chip manufacturing.

But US is thin with Patriots and other missile defense batteries now. They have exhausted about 50% of their stock piles on Iran war. The total sum is a combination of Israel, Saudi, UAE, and Qatar's stock.

Yes US surely still have abundant offensive missiles but quite thin on defensive weapons.

And it's basically China that controls rare-earths, a major component for remanufacturing those things.

More so, if Iran can stretch US this much with their bunkers, China is a totally different ball game.

Trump knows he can't fight China now, bearing in mind that he does not even have usual support of allies.

That's why he has been playing a gentleman game beside President Xi.

Every action of a leader has distinct consequences.
Politics › Re: Desmond Elliot Responds To Gbajabiamila's Comments, Apologises by Basicend:
As expected, no matter what Gbaja said, I knew Desmond wld come out to lick his ass.

Most Nigerian politicians have nothing to offer, asides for filling up their pockets with dirty funds.

Bros, stop looking for free Nigerian money again. Go and huzzle; go back to Nollywood or start a running business.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump’s Logistics Convoy In China by Basicend:
madridguy:
Donald Trump will never forgive Satanyahuu for deceiving him to start a war with Iran.

Imagine the POTUS running around over Iran grin grin grin
Lol! Stop deceiving urself bro.

Trump's visit to China had been scheduled for April 2026 since last year. It was only postponed due to the war.

*** Trump needs rare-earths from China for silicon chips manufacturing, war planes, jets (F53s) and ammunitions.

*** AI chips and processes needs to be collectively reviewed with China.

*** He is trying to sycronize global payment system with China's banks and platforms. That's why VISA, Mastercard CEOs are there.

*** Trump wants China to make their international trade procedures to be open to international observers just like Japan, South Korea etc.

*** He is considering bringing Chinese EVs manufacturing to the US.

The essence of the meeting is purely business synchronization, and has little to do with Iran war.

That is why you have about 30 CEOs of biggest companies in US with him.

If it's a war concern with Iran, lol, he would take along Hegseth and Vance.

Na girls, this one still sound better, the one that told me I will die untimely death just because I claimed I don't have the 5k I promised her anymore on that day she I mentioned. She dragged me while did I keep her hope and waited, why did I promise her but I insisted I had no choice to promise when she kept pressuring and pressuring. Cursed hit me that day and truly, money no dey
Am 100% sure you have slept with that lady. That's why she felt entitled.

That's how many of them think. She felt she had traded her body to you. . Hence you must spend on it. Lol.
Business › Re: Strait Of Hormuz Closure; Dangote Fortune Rises To 34 Billion Dollars by Basicend: 8:49am On May 13
The guy knows how to milk Nigerians.

That's one thing you can't take away from him.

That's one of the reasons PMS price hike in Nigeria is one of the highest in the world currently during this war period.

It's a Dangote / Tinubu cashing out spree as usual, at the expense of helpless and poor Nigerians.
Education › Re: Meet Daniella Owoeye: The Girl Who Emerged Overall Best In JAMB 2026 With 372/40 by Basicend: 6:02pm On May 12
The issue is that some of these JAMB scores are arrangees.

It (the scores) does not reflect true brilliancy of many of those outstanding candidates.

Hence, it makes it difficult to identify the genuinely exceptional ones until get admitted into the selected schools and exams begin.
Travel › Re: Countries with Highest Cost of Living by Basicend:
CodeTemplar:
I will love to see a chart for countries by per capita GDP to cost of living ratio.
Good point. The GDP per capital (PPP) is the major metric to determine the surferrings of the people.

Nigeria will be a chief on that list.

This subject parameter is flawed because it does not compare it to income ratio.
Car Talk › Re: Fastest Electric Cars In The World 2026: Top 10 Ranked by Basicend: 7:43pm On May 09
Before I opened the tread, I knew the no. 1 will be a Chinese model.

China is gone. . Honestly. There is little any one can do about it.

Germany, Canada, EU, Japan etc have simply accepted the reality. It's only Trump waisting his time fighting against the expansion of the Chinese industry. It's a late battle honestly.

China is currently at the same status America was during the 2nd world war. The world's manufacturing hub with a vibrant and expansive tech and military capacity.
Politics › Re: Why Nigeria Should Allow China Manage Electricity Sector For 20 Years - Goje by Basicend:
Hand over this and that to China . .

Why can't they just hand over the sit of power in Aso rock to help us manage it, since we have realized that we are not capable with handling of anything effectively.

Clowns.
Politics › Re: Nearly 1,000 Insurgents, Families Surrender In North-east – Nigerian Army by Basicend: 12:18pm On May 07
How long will the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian govt continue to deceive themselves?

We pamper terrorism with kid gloves and they (the terrorists) continue to strike Nigerians with brutality.

Next move is to spend billions of tax payers money on nonsense reorientation, and flush them back into the society.

Hallelujah!

If this was in the UK, he'd be forced to resign
UK is gone. They have fallen to the subtle jihadish war from Saudi, UAE and Qatari fund raisers. At least, those Arabic countries therein spread their influence via their oil money.

Unlike the Iranians that fight with bombs, guns and terror.

Countries like USA, Canada, Russia, and even Brazil have abundant natural/mineral resources. They are not in a quite helpless situation as the UK and many parts of western Europe. Hence, America can be stubborn and arrogant to her beliefs.
Romance › Re: Why Love Still Matters by Basicend: 11:28am On May 02
Your last paragraph is exactly what brings down many men.

That is why you have many men walking unfulfilled in life in marriage. Becoz u have a woman beside u who thinks a show of ur love means that u must be comprising your values and always avoiding to hurt her.

Is there a way you can live with someone without hurting them? Even thou not willingly or deliberately?

I believe the above writeup is crafted by a woman.

When you don't genuinely support the aspirations of ur husband, but always thinking selfishly about urself and the affections u shld get, you will drain life out of the man. And an unsuccessful or unfulfilled man will ultimately be an irritation to his wife.

Have you as a woman, tried to think how you can support the man and show love to him too with required focus?
Politics › Re: President Tinubu Names Bianca Ojukwu Foreign Affairs Minister by Basicend:
Solseal007:
Am not sure Mr President knows what he's doing, are u telling me there are no competent visible career diplomat and ex intelligence officer to fill thos post ?

Most foreign affairs ministers are from the intelligence community!

This out president am not really understanding your methods, hope you won't reshuffle her as soon as the first diplomatics error occurs?
You are absolutely correct.

I honestly have same concern.

Eve thou, am not a Tuggar fan, but he was a very articulate and intelligent man and he fulfilled that role quite properly as required.

A foreign affairs minister must be very vast and articulate with the use of words while transiting the image of the country globally.

Hmm, it's well. let's see what she can offer.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Offers To Reopen Strait Of Hormuz, End War If US Lifts Blockade by Basicend: 4:21pm On Apr 27
Iran wants to outsmart Trump in the game, lol.

Baba Trump will not remove that blockade until he has taken away the 60% enriched uranium from their bunker.
Education › Re: Meet The Nigerian, Muneer Yaqub Who Recently Got His Phd At 27 In America by Basicend: 12:58pm On Apr 27
The Northern Nigeria need to remove the viel of religious deceit form their eyes and embrace western education with zeal.

They are very brilliant people generally.

But they have allowed religious doctrine to plague them with poverty. I hope this handsome young man will not grow up tomorrow and start saying death to America too.
Romance › Re: Which Couple Is The Happiest (photo) by Basicend:
marcusverum:
COUPLE 2

The man is holding the umbrella over her while he gets wet. She is fully covered. He is unbothered by the rain, focused on protecting her.
That is not romance. That is character. A man who shields his woman before himself in discomfort will do the same in life.

Meanwhile, the woman is feminine. She is holding a grocery basket which means she runs errands and takes care of the family. A protective man and a submissive woman is the true representation of a healthy family

That is the happiest couple because she has a man worth keeping and he has a woman worth protecting.

HEED
Your analogy is realy quite accurate.

However, for me, I think couple 1 will be the happiest.

Reason: The man therein does all the things you mentioned of the man in the 2nd couple. The extra thing that gave him advantage over the man in couple 2 is that he has his own bag in his hand which dipicts that he is gainfully engaged or employed and should be in a happier state than the man in couple 2 who looks quite like a caring errand boy for the wife. Seems like a man who does not have anything really that he does for himself.

Also couple 1 looks like both parties have well balanced errands and care which creates mutual happiness.
Politics › Re: 2027: Tuggar declares Bauchi Governorship ambition by Basicend: 7:12am On Apr 26
Clown. As a governor, he knows he will be able to corner more money, so he resigned.

His plans are so vague. You claim ur main goal is towards agriculture enhancement, what viable plans do you have to tackle insecurity which is the main hindrance currently affaceting productivity in the region?

He said people should not be afraid to go to the farms. He should send his children to start working on those farms first. . Just citing agenda points like a secondary school prefect's proposal.
