"PURCHASING POWER" BASED ON FUEL SUBSIDIES AND A CHAOTIC DUAL EXCHANGE RATE THAT DISCOURAGED INVESTMENT AND SIMPLY LED TO ARBITRAGE, IS WHAT LED THE COUNTRY TO THIS CRISIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
BORROWING $10 BILLION A YEAR FOR FUEL SUBSIDIES IS WHAT GAVE YOU YOUR "PURCHASING POWER".
MR POWER.
So now that the subsidies have been removed and that money is believed to be in existence only in the mind of the one who removed subsidy and who is borrowing humongous loans every now and then, please why is there still no purchasing power !!!??

When you say, discouraged investment..... What kind of investment are you talking about and can you please mention the investments that has been done since the removal of petroleum subsidy?
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.
So you rushed into marriage with her on the basis that you want to marry a virgin!!!
I do not see any many lies other than you wanted to hear what you wanted to hear.
Well, you'll have to decide, because at the end of the day, it's just you and her as a family or as breakaways and living your private and personal lives..
Easyincome24: You went hunting the whole day and caught nothing. Your children are hungry at home. But on your way back, you found this antelope about to deliver a baby.
Will you kill it or save her life for with her unborn baby?
You will allow the antelope give birth, take the antelope home, allow it nurse the youngling with milk and rest of it, allow it stay for about a year of thereabout before you can have it as meat.
escortafrik: Hello guys, I really need your advice because I’ve been turning this over in my head and I don’t want to make a mistake.
So a bit of background… I’m in my final year at the university, just trying to finish with good grades and figure out what’s next for my life.
A close friend of mine introduced me to her cousin a few months ago. He’s doing really well for himself, stable, calm, and very intentional in how he carries himself.
We got along pretty quickly and things moved from just talking to a serious relationship faster than I expected, but it has been good so far.
Now the situation is this… he wants me to move in with him.
At first, I thought maybe it’s just excitement and love growing fast, but he’s been consistent about it and says it’s because he sees a future with me and wants us to start building our life together properly. I do like him a whole lot , and part of me likes the idea of us being together in that way, like a real couple sharing everyday life.
But I spoke to my friends and they are not having it at all. They keep telling me that once I move in, it might reduce the chances of marriage happening, that men can get too comfortable and stop seeing the need to “formalise” things. Even his cousin who introduced us is saying I shouldn’t as well but I’m quite surprised because this guy has been so good to me in every aspect of my life.
Now I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t want to act based on fear, but I also don’t want to ignore advice that could save me from future regret.
So I’m asking honestly… what do you think I should do in this situation?
Concentrate on finishing your studies and return back to your humble beginnings. Put your hands to usefulness so you can earn a worthy living, while looking forward to go onto NYSC. If he truly has the intention of getting married to you, there's no need for you to move in with him, yet. Let him go and do all the necessary things and get the marriage done, then you can move in with him and he can have you as a wife. Most importantly, pray to God through Christ Jesus. He is the author and finisher of our faith in the way of life and living.
Onewazobia: Hmmmm, I am not surprised by this because I once had a similar experience in Atan, Ogun State.
One of our staff members was contacted regarding a contract opportunity an international University. However, based on the project requirements presented to him, he knew he would not qualify for the bidding process, so he innocently informed them that he had a boss who could handle the job.
They initially claimed to operate an international company that had just entered Nigeria and already established satellite campuses across the country. According to them, they wanted to begin construction work on their permanent site around Atan, Ogun State.
They requested our CAC certificate, TIN number, directors’ details, IDs, evidence of previous jobs, and information about our manpower capability. The staff member who referred me later asked if he could forward my number to them since the date for interfacing with the school management was approaching. I agreed, not knowing I was walking into a serious mess.
The whole conversation started on 13th December 2025. They contacted us almost every day, requesting one document or information after another. They obtained several company details, including ID cards, claiming they needed to conduct background checks before inviting any contractor.
Unfortunately, I innocently sent everything they requested. However, I was not sending the documents directly to them because there was a third party involved, and I did not want it to appear as though I was bypassing him. Sadly, I failed to properly verify the authenticity of their claims. Hmmm… it is a long story.
Throughout this period, I never personally spoke with them until 2nd February 2026, when they informed our staff member that there would be a physical meeting at the project site on 9th February 2026. That was when I asked him to forward their contact to me and also give them my number.
The first thing I noticed was that their contact preferred chatting instead of calls. I then asked him about his position in the supposed university. He admitted he was not a staff member but a student who claimed to have a good relationship with one of the staff members. According to him, that was how he got the information and decided to contact our staff member to “give it a try.”
Thank God the innocent boy did not go there himself because only God knows what could have happened to him.
Fast forward to 5th February 2026, I contacted their representative to ask for the address and directions to the location. He told me to “come prepared and plan to sleep over.” Immediately, I asked him why I should sleep over. He replied that there would likely be a crowd and that documentation could take more than a day because it was an international university registration process for contractors.
I told him clearly that I would return home the same day and come back if necessary.
On Monday, 9th February 2026, I left my house around 5:00 a.m., to Atan. When I arrived in Atan, I tried calling him, but his number was not connecting. I then dropped a voice note on WhatsApp, after which he instructed me to take another bike to a different location. At that point, I became suspicious.
After he described the location, the bike rider said he did not know anywhere like that around the area. That further strengthened my suspicion. He then started directing the bike rider from one street to another. However, by that point, I had already made up my mind to see the matter to the end. I was no longer interested in the contract itself; I simply wanted to uncover what was going on.
Eventually, he instructed the bike rider to take me to an hospital. On getting there, I met a young boy, probably around 18 years old, wearing a jalabiya and holding a phone and a badly damaged power bank wrapped with plenty of sellotape.
Immediately I got down from the bike, I asked if he was the one waiting for me. He answered yes and said he would take me to an Alfa. I asked, “An Alfa?” and he answered affirmatively.
I immediately requested for his ID card as a staff member of the supposed university. That was when he started talking carelessly. I quickly held him by the waist and insisted that we must go to the police station. He refused.
At that point, it was past 7:00 a.m. I deliberately raised my voice so that people in the community would come outside and witness what was happening. That was one of the reasons I refused to back down.
People gradually started coming out of their houses. I seized his phone and refused to return it until we got to the police station. Later, some community members persuaded me to give him back the phone so he could call the others involved.
They started arriving one after another. I still have videos and pictures from the incident. The community members questioned them thoroughly. As more men gathered around, it became obvious to everyone that their story was not genuine. However, because those boys lived in the area, many residents were afraid to confront them directly. Some people advised me to quietly leave the place, but I insisted that we must go to the police station.
That was when some misguided youths in the community suddenly turned against me and even started beating me alongside the suspected kidnappers or ritualists — I honestly do not know which they were. Yet, I still managed to hold onto one of them. God truly gave me strength and courage that day.
Eventually, their leader, who they called “Chancellor,” contacted a police officer whom I strongly suspected was connected to them. When the officer arrived, I requested his ID card, and he showed it to me. Even then, I still insisted on taking a separate bike because anybody could print a fake ID card.
Luckily, someone in the community identified him as an actual police officer, so I reluctantly agreed to ride with him.
Before leaving the street, I asked for the phone number of the community chairman, but they refused to provide it. I then begged them to at least tell me the actual name of the street, and immediately I got it, I sent my live Google location to my family.
Hmmmm… Nigeria is truly something else. When we finally got to the police station, two officers attended to us. Interestingly, they did not take us into the newer building constructed after the ENDSARS protests, but instead into the older office within the same compound.
After a long back-and-forth discussion, the officers asked me what exactly I wanted since no money had been collected from me.
I told them clearly that my insistence on going to the police station was not for personal gain, but simply to play my role as a responsible citizen. I explained that it was now left for the police to conduct proper investigations.
In the end, the police simply instructed them to apologise to me and “be careful about the kind of clients they deal with.”
That was all.
Till today, I still have the chats, pictures, videos, and other evidence from the incident.
Clearly that particular officers are part of the gang of criminals.
No sense in what you're trying to tell the governor. I had expected him to say that the governor give same shoot at sight order on anyone found killing headers cattle too.... But we can see that the problems are always from the headers.
MATV: “DON’T DRINK WATER IN CHURCH” — Pastor David Obiyeome’s Strict Rules Spark Massive Debate Online (VIDEO)
A viral video of popular preacher David Obiyeome is currently causing serious reactions across social media after he issued strong warnings about behavior inside church.
During a church service, the founder of Salvation Ministries warned members against chewing gum, drinking water, and using phones inside the auditorium.
According to him:
“You’re not a goat. Don’t chew gum in church. Don’t drink water in church. If you want to drink water, go outside. Don’t use phone at all in church.”
His comments have now divided Nigerians online.
While some people say the pastor is absolutely right about discipline and reverence in God’s house, others believe the rules are too extreme and outdated for modern worship.
But the BIG question people are now asking is:
Has church become too casual nowadays… or are some pastors becoming too controlling?
The reactions under the video are even more shocking than the sermon itself.
Watch the FULL VIDEO and see Nigerians’ reactions here👇
While this is good, but I think and still think it's not what should be a thing of concern for the church. It's like one speaking against indecent dressing meanwhile those who are considered to be true christian believers have serious attitudinal and character issues that do not reflect the fruits of the spirit.
While at that, I keep wondering if this issue is being raised as a way to discipline congregants, why is it that we don't hear about the Lord doesn't receive tithe from those who are into sin and who continue in sinful acts ranging from adultery, fornication harlotting/prostitution of different forms, stealing by fraudulent practices, telling lies to make more gains in business, over profiting in business, etc,etc.
Or make it simple, let a comment be said, that anyone who sins certain kinds of sin within a month shouldn't pay their tithe and give offering within that month and let's see what will happen and if they do, they are only giving the church and not God because God doesn't receive anything from a sinner except a repentant heart.
There's no moral sense and justification on the issue of the North being short changed and the South has ruled more and there has to be a balance.
Firstly, it would be completely naive and full stupidy for any sane person to have agreed that after the death of Yar'Adua that the VP GEJ would handover stand aside and let the North bring someone to complete Yar'Adua's North tenure........if that had happened,then it's like some people from a particular region who are always favored with very low cut off marks when it comes to the educational sector in gaining admissions into educational institutions of higher learning, always dictating to the rest of the others.
That aspect of talk wil forever remain to those who are very gullible.
The constitution of the FRN remains supreme. Let them take their gullibility to their sharia estates.
The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Economic Affairs, Tope Fasua, has clarified his controversial statement suggesting that N10,000 could feed a family for several days.
Fasua said he actually referred to “a person” and not a family.
He made the clarification in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Sunday, following criticism over a viral clip from his interaction with Kay’s Hikers Club in Abuja on May 5, 2026.
The presidential aide said the remark was made in the context of rural Nigeria and was immediately corrected during the session.
“My attention has been drawn to the viral two-second clip of my interaction with Kay’s Hikers Club held on May 5, 2026, at The Destination, Abuja, wherein I stated that N10,000 is enough to ‘feed a modest family for several days’.
“There is a need to clarify that I meant to say ‘person’, and not ‘family’, and we were speaking at that point in the context of rural Nigeria.
“I immediately clarified my statement right there and then and emphasised to the audience the need for serious personal financial management in the context of global hardships,” he said.
Fasua said the engagement with the group, made up mostly of young Nigerians, lasted over two hours and focused on the country’s economic reforms, taxation policies and opportunities within Nigeria despite prevailing economic challenges.
According to him, some participants were confrontational during the discussion, but he considered the outing necessary to encourage direct engagement between government officials and citizens.
“Still, I believe it was an important outing, such that should be encouraged between government appointees and citizens — especially Gen Zs,” he stated.
He added that discussions during the session touched on issues such as the challenges facing foreign retail chains and the growth of Nigerian-owned businesses.
“In fact, the first salvo of questions was around the issue of Shoprite’s challenges, when I promptly brought up the bustling alternatives like Ebeano, Sahad, JustRite, HyperCity, Bokku, Market Square and other Nigerian brands,” he said.
Fasua also criticised what he described as sensational reporting and selective use of clips on social media, saying comments made during lengthy discussions were often taken out of context.
“We live in a world where people judge by headlines. We also live in a world where the media cleverly maxes out their popularity with sensational headlines and where the selectivity of reportage can put people in awkward situations,” he said.
The presidential aide maintained that despite Nigeria’s challenges, young people should remain optimistic about the country rather than seeking opportunities abroad.
“I will continue to inform the youths of Nigeria that statistically, they are better off building their nation than running abroad to already developed nations where they are often faced with daunting challenges and hurdles,” Fasua added.
Indeed a rural context.... It will not be hard if he can mentions the name of that rural area now that, the context of a family is an individual and not a group of persons.
DrMB: Is Your Salary Keeping Up? Ever feel like your paycheck vanishes before the month even ends? You aren't imagining it; the cost of living is hitting record highs across the globe. From the luxury streets of Monaco to the tech hubs of the US, the price of simply "existing" varies wildly. Which of these numbers shocks you the most? Could you imagine spending nearly $7k a month just to cover the basics in Monaco? Or does seeing the US and UK sitting so close together change your perspective on moving abroad? 👇 Drop a comment below: How does your current city compare to these averages? Is it time to relocate, or are you staying put?
As you post cost of living also post average wage and GDP per capita of each country
When you do the above side by side what you have there, then you have done some educational work that's worth studying and useful.
Richtaiwo: The funniest political fantasy flying around today is the idea that Kwankwaso would agree to deputise Pitobi. The gap is simply too wide. Kwankwaso is a 2-term governor, former legislator, former minister, and a PhD holder with decades of political structure and experience behind him.
So how exactly do people expect a man with such credentials to line up behind someone who finished third despite all the online noise and turned a 4- academic year course into a six-session struggle? Apart from the court judgment that handed him the governorship, what exactly is the intimidating political achievement here? Social media hype is not governance.
I am not really a PO fan but there's no intellectual in what you have just written down.... You outlined the credentials of a Kwankwaso and deliberately left that of PO but to say he finished third place.......!!!
Please can you tell me what did Kwankwaso credentials and political achievement done for Kano State up till now?
If we are to use verifiable data, can you say that the children in Kano who are in secondary school can compete with those in Anambra State when it comes to passing exams and getting high quality grades and results.....
ikeno: Really Don't Know How To Handle This Situation
Few weeks ago an ex of mine who I still keep contact with cause we stay in same state and sometimes she comes over to my place even though am not married but she was once married but due to domestic violence she left are husband and have been fending for her 3 children through her business, called me 2 weeks ago and said her seven old daughter who is the second born belongs to me and the reason she never told me was because I was not ready to settle down then.
She sent me a video of the girl and to be honest, facially she looks like me and few of my friends I showed the video to admitted she looks like me. Since she sent me the video have been in shock and really don't know what to do in such a situation.
Have told her to come to my place this weekend so we can talk about it.
So guys how do I go about this situation any advice will be welcome
Discreetly get something from the child that can be used to know the DNA of the child and if it turns out rightly to be yours... Then take responsibility for the welfare of the child and play a fatherly and daddy role.
Yampotatocarrot: I expect Kwankwaso to be wise and not allow himself to be used, if he wants to be president
If opposition starts spreading news that he's not in league with Obi or he's working against Obi, he'll automatically lose that Obidient crowd he's banking on for 2031, because we all know that's what he's banking on
So, he better put his media team on high alert to always counter any online narrative that'll make him lose his standing with the Obedients come 2031... If na me be Kwankwaso, I go just mumu for the next four years, then ride in with ease
He shouldn't make the mistake Atiku made and is still making
[/b]On a more serious note, see how an "unknown" Seriake Dickson suddenly became a powerful man in the whole Nigeria, pulling weights that were hitherto beyond his ability... Finally, God's time is the best o... When he registered the party, he'll never have thought it'll blow like this[b]
He will still lose that Obedient crowd when that time comes. Let's assume that PO even wins this 2027, any mistake of him not going for second tenure will cause him a lot.....
He will be avoided like a plague from even his own kit and kin.
ElSudani: There are at least six foreign telecom companies in Nigeria along with some Nigerian companies. There are foreign companies in the oil industry why are they not colonizing Nigeria yet? A couple of days ago here on this website we have people calling Dangote a monopolist for saying his company intends to provide 20000 MW of electricity for Nigeria. You are damn if you do damn if you don't. Nigerians are wonderful people.
As regards Dangote and his 20000 MW of electricity, I think he should, have that done, first his State of origin and place of residence and secondly he should keep it to just the North region and not Nigeria as a whole.
There are others who would do same on their own State of origin and place of residence.
What is his definition of a modest family and how many days exists in the several, he mentioned?
That's the real question he should ask?!!! I am sure he is not of the modest family!!!!! So it's easy to say anything they like. This same brand of people who shouted it wasn't easy during the PGEJ administration are all out telling us to be patient in their unending lies.
Well Senator Goje is not entirely wrong. But before that is done, why don't he propose a bill that will allow the Chinese government or any other advance country as he mention come and occupy all political positions from Federal to State and Local government, National Assembly(Both houses), all State House Assemblies, all State and Federal Universities, President, VP, State Governors, Deputy Governors, PAs, SSA, etc, etc, run and operate the Nigerian nation for 20 years and hand over to us... This should be the proposal he should be doing and not that no sense he is talking over there......
I bet you, he is among those who give out wheelbarrow and shovel as empowerment tools to his constituents.
writeforusfacts: For years, lemon water has been promoted as a miracle health drink. Celebrities, fitness influencers, and wellness bloggers frequently claim that starting your morning with warm lemon water can “flush toxins” from the body, improve digestion, boost metabolism, clear the skin, and even help with rapid weight loss.
The idea sounds simple and appealing. Just squeeze fresh lemon into warm water, drink it daily, and supposedly your body becomes cleaner and healthier. Because of these promises, lemon water has become one of the most talked-about wellness habits worldwide.
But does science actually support these detox claims?
The short answer is: not exactly.
While lemon water can be part of a healthy lifestyle, the belief that it magically removes toxins from the body is often exaggerated. Understanding the facts behind this trend helps separate real health benefits from internet myths.
What People Mean By “Detox”
The word “detox” is everywhere in the health industry. Detox teas, detox juices, detox diets, and detox supplements are marketed as ways to cleanse the body of harmful substances.
The problem is that many detox products never clearly explain what toxins they are removing or how the process works.
In reality, the human body already has a natural detoxification system. The liver, kidneys, lungs, digestive tract, and skin continuously work together to process and eliminate waste products. These organs remove substances the body no longer needs through urine, sweat, bowel movements, and breathing.
That means healthy individuals do not require special drinks to “activate” detoxification. The body performs this function naturally every single day.
This is why many medical experts remain skeptical of detox trends that promise dramatic cleansing effects without scientific evidence.
Why Lemon Water Became So Popular
Despite the lack of scientific proof behind detox claims, lemon water became extremely popular because it feels healthy and refreshing.
Many people notice they feel better after adding lemon water to their morning routine. There are several reasons for this.
First, drinking water immediately after waking up helps rehydrate the body after several hours of sleep. Dehydration can cause fatigue, headaches, and sluggishness, so proper hydration naturally improves how people feel.
Second, lemons contain vitamin C and antioxidants, nutrients associated with immune support and general wellness.
Third, lemon water often replaces sugary beverages like soda or sweetened coffee drinks. Making that switch alone can improve overall health over time.
Because people feel positive changes from these habits, they may assume lemon water itself is “detoxifying” the body.
The Real Benefits Of Lemon Water
Although lemon water is not a miracle cleanser, it still offers some genuine health advantages.
Helps Maintain Hydration
One of the biggest benefits is hydration. Water is essential for nearly every function in the body, including circulation, temperature regulation, digestion, and nutrient transport.
Some people struggle to drink enough plain water throughout the day. Adding lemon can improve flavor and encourage higher water intake.
Proper hydration also supports kidney function, which plays a major role in filtering waste from the body naturally.
Rich In Vitamin C
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Vitamin C also supports the immune system and helps the body produce collagen, which is important for healthy skin, blood vessels, and connective tissue.
While one glass of lemon water will not transform health overnight, it can contribute to daily nutrient intake.
May Support Digestion
Many people claim warm lemon water helps digestion, especially when consumed in the morning.
There is limited scientific evidence directly proving this effect, but hydration itself supports healthy digestion and bowel movements. Warm liquids may also feel soothing to some individuals.
However, digestive benefits vary from person to person and should not be considered a guaranteed result.
Can Lemon Water Burn Fat?
One of the biggest myths surrounding lemon water is that it melts body fat quickly.
There is no scientific evidence showing that lemons directly burn fat or dramatically increase metabolism. Weight loss occurs when the body burns more calories than it consumes over time.
However, lemon water may support healthy weight management indirectly.
For example, drinking water before meals can help people feel fuller, reducing overeating. Replacing high-calorie beverages with lemon water can also lower overall sugar and calorie intake.
So while lemon water may assist healthier habits, it is not a magical fat-burning solution.
Potential Risks Of Drinking Too Much Lemon Water
Although lemon water is generally safe, excessive consumption can create problems for some people.
Tooth Enamel Damage
Lemons are highly acidic. Frequent exposure to acidic drinks may weaken tooth enamel over time, leading to sensitivity or cavities.
Dentists often recommend drinking lemon water through a straw and rinsing the mouth with plain water afterward.
Heartburn And Acid Reflux
Some individuals experience worsening acid reflux or stomach irritation after consuming lemon water, particularly on an empty stomach.
If symptoms appear, reducing intake may help.
Why Detox Marketing Is So Powerful
Detox products continue to attract attention because they promise quick results. Many people want an easy way to undo unhealthy eating, stress, lack of sleep, or poor lifestyle habits.
The idea of “washing away toxins” with one simple drink feels comforting and achievable.
However, long-term health rarely comes from shortcuts. Consistent habits like balanced nutrition, regular exercise, proper hydration, and quality sleep have a much greater impact on overall wellness than trendy detox routines.
This does not mean lemon water is useless. It simply means the drink should not be viewed as a miracle cure.
What Experts Actually Recommend
Most nutrition experts agree that lemon water can be a healthy addition to a balanced lifestyle, especially if it encourages hydration and reduces sugary drink consumption.
But experts also emphasize that no food or beverage can replace the body’s natural detox organs.
Supporting liver and kidney health through proper nutrition, hydration, exercise, and avoiding excessive alcohol or processed foods is far more effective than relying on detox trends.
Final Verdict
So, can lemon water really flush toxins out of your body?
Not in the magical way social media often claims.
The body already has a sophisticated detoxification system that works continuously through the liver, kidneys, and other organs. Lemon water does not suddenly cleanse the body or remove toxins in a special way.
Still, lemon water can absolutely be part of a healthy routine. It promotes hydration, provides vitamin C, may support digestion, and can help replace sugary drinks.
The truth lies somewhere between myth and reality. Lemon water is not a miracle detox drink, but it is a refreshing and healthy habit that can support overall wellness when combined with a balanced lifestyle.
Lemon mixed with water is no different from what is called lemonade.
For starters, it doesn't detox. That detoxing statement is just a make belief.
While I'll say every persons' metabolism system differs for everyone given their age, weight, kind/type of food intake, kind of work they are at, etc, etc.
Nevertheless, lemon mixed with water is more like having an electrolyte passing through your body system.
For those who would want to try it, should make use of lemon fruit cut into slices and cut cucumber and put in water bottle and put water in it and drink that water. Just pour water whenever the one inside the water bottle is finished. It should replace your water daily intake for a period not longer than fifteen days. But every new day, you have new lemon fruit slices and cut cucumber in the water bottle.
babtoundey: I got myself into this trouble three weeks ago.
I was out of town when I received a call from a friend. We had been friends since when we were in school. Though we didn't see regularly (the last time we saw before this incident was over 8 years ago) but we conversed regularly. When he called he informed me he needed to stay with me that he had an issue with his landlord. He wasn't really explicit or straight in his explanation. When i was reluctant, he mentioned that he was staying for just one week. Okay, no problem. I said.
When i returned home, i refuse to call him because it needed my space for myself so as to be able to attend to some urgent works. The second day after the agreement was sealed, he asked if i had returned i told hime i wouldn't be returning until that evening.
This friend came with his bag very early the following day which was a Monday morning. It was after he settled in that I got to know that he left another friends house for my house. And before he went to that person house, he had been staying with another friend. Whatever reason he left that person's house, i wouldn't know. The moment he came, he started calling people (his mum, brother and girlfriend), citing my address as his current location.
My major headache is, this person had already spent three weeks and he doesn't seem ready to leave. All he does is, press phone, sleep and wakeup. He has already strained my food supply. I am hardly at home; I go to work in the morning and return late at night. I just noticed food I can't finish in two months vanished in two weeks. He uses my toiletries (bathing soap included), my hair cream and body cream.
What pains me is, he isn't coming out straight and is not seem comfortable discussing what his plans are. He only seems fixated with online business or whatsoever.
I will appreciate ideas on how to tell this friend to excuse me.
You are already aware of how many places he has resided before coming to your place and do not know the reason behind why he left.....
There are lots of ways, you can make him leave your house.....but I won't want to tlgo that line.
You just need to tell him to contribute his quota as regards feeding in the house and use of toiletries. He should stop using your bathing soap especially if it's not his type......let him get his own or you can get him a pack of bathing soap(6 pieces) and observe him.
We all know this issue about assets accountability is just to save face and stall time. Those dismissed police officers are supposed to have taken to a High Court and tried and given judgement... Virtually everything in Nigeria is all about cosmetic and face saving. Every government wants to appear to be working but at the end nothing is actually working that's working.
richmond500: Oga, if you don't know what is happening in Rivers State, please rest. The presidency has favoured SIM, all his loyalist has bought form for house of assembly. Also George Kelly is not favourite to win the APC primaries, nevertheless Wike's PDP structure has a shaky foundation. He is losing at all fronts,
All these strange narratives did not start now... Were had heard the President favoured SIM and named him 001 and even the APC National Chairman did same, till it was all debunked and the President named Wike given him the position as leader of the State and much more
The only shaky foundation existing is of those who trade on false narratives like that of the narratives from non existing Court judgements .....
[quote author=Kdon2 post=139296967]Kwakwanso dragged NDC party registration card from obi.
In an interesting development, barely hours into the defection of the duo of aliyu kwakwanso and Peter obi to NDC video footage of the official registration with NDC has shown kwakwanso already dragging the NDC party registration card from Peter obi at the declaration point. The incident occured as the NDC party chairman and the delta state senator seriake Dickson were about to present the party card to Peter obi which was swiftly intercepted and snatched by kwakwanso while Peter obi looked on sheepishly. The development showed kwakwanso has positioned himself first before Peter obi. With this it appears kwakwanso is not keen on occupying the vice presidential slot. That kwakwanso pushed himself forward first before obi is a move observers described as indication that kwakwanso might contest the NDC presidential ticket against obi in NDC.
The question now is; should obi lose the ticket to kwakwanso, what next? Will obi support kwakwanso for the presidency or will he port to another party once again? Is kwakwanso indirectly saying he should have the first shot at the presidency instead of obi? Whatever the answer is, time will tell.
Analysts say the situation is fluid for now indicating that Peter obi's problems might not be over because his presidential ambition through NDC ticket might yet again be under threat.
emkz: I do not know when you graduated, but the cost of educating Nigerians is very low. Who do you think is paying for it? Before you start shouting that the quality of education is very low, how come our doctors are saving lives daily and are always sought even by foreigners? Are you aware that a UK agency came to recruit some Nigerian doctors? Do you know why? Because it is cheaper for them to get a Nigerian-trained doctor that to train a doctor in the UK. Where do you think the money that was used to subsidize your education, assuming you attended a public school, came from?
Then compare the cost of treatment in a private and public clinic in Nigeria. Where do you think the cost of subsidizing healthcare in public hospitals is to come from?
In Nigeria, you do not pay toll on public roads. In may advanced countries, you can pay toll over seven times in a two-hour journey. Do you know toll is tax?
Then we enjoyed electricity subsidy for many years. Do you think you can afford to pay for electricity if the actual bill is given to you? Where do you expect the money to come from?
In many countries, tax is a source of revenue. Before you talk about other oil-producing countries, look at their population and do a proper comparison.
See, Nigeria is truly blessed. Nigeria has given me a lot. The country funded my education to the highest level through various scholarships and grants. Some of those scholarships were funded through tax deductions from oil companies. My prayer is for the country to harness out true potentials and no one can stop us. That means getting high quality leadership.
That is what Tinubu brings. That is why he is the best. He articulated his plans and executes them with clarity. Let anyone who dislikes him explain to us what their alternative can do better.
These so called countries you keep mentioning without any specific name that they pay pax, please can you highlight how much is their minimum wage for a civil servant, they don't even have minimum wage but rather living wage and compare to that of Nigeria?
VIDEO: “If we have to borrow money, we will, because borrowing is not leprosy; Nigerians just have to work hard to be able to repay it. - Tinubu says after mortgaging our future. pic.twitter.com/Evq7nJJGgz
Nna2025: So guys, I need help, A friend brought a client for the sale of a property. Finally payment was made on Tuesday and unfortunately, He lost a long battle to an illness on April 16th.
He is separated, has two kids. The question now is, who do I give his share of the money. His mother, siblings, his estranged wife or Charity.
Have been pondering over this the entire week, decided to bring it here to see if you guys can help with quality inputs.
Bless Ya'all.
(1) Where are the kids and who are they with? (2) If the kids are in school, what are their respective classes or what stage ? (3) Do you have any idea if the late man was giving welfare money to the separated wife who doesn't stay with him if she's not with the kids? (4) What's the relationship of the late man with his mother and siblings?
“Nigerian don’t even want 24 hours light, can they even afford 24 hours light ? Nigerians just want to come home at 8pm and meet light so they won’t sweat when they sleep and also meet the light by 7am so they can iron thier cloths and then you can take the light and divert it to… pic.twitter.com/eiLELR0wDu
Make them just go check this person the house he stays, if he is paying light bill as at when due if it's estimated he is on or if he has not run a by-pass if he is on prepaid meter....!!!!
Do you think those who work in the European countries on the government payroll even at the lowest level find it hard to pay electricity bills, come to Nigeria, even the serving senator of the FRN will tell you they can't pay such electricity bills.....
