Hmm. I didn’t know it’s wrong to swear by the name of God.
I thought it was only wrong to swear in vain. Meaning don’t swear if your are not telling the truth.

I swear to God. I am not even exaggerating.

The engineer is a Nigerian that has been building for years.

It may not mean he doesn’t know what he is doing as an engineer. It may mean he was building to the standard his client wanted.

What even led to him saying that was when the buyer was trying to price down the properties because he didn’t see them. I guess that was why his engineer said what he said.

Right from building the first block, we have maintained the quality.

Three senior masonry workers left the job because we insisted they dismantled anything laid that didn’t conform to our standards.

A lot went into the work. Even the carpenters we used said they had never been detailed like that kind of work in their entire career.

Every salvation experience must come with a valid encounter, situation, happening, place e.t.c, but a person may know the encounter, happening, place and situation, and may not know the exact date. For example, if uneducated people were preached to in a village and they got saved, they may not keep record of the date but may know what happened and the place the salvation encounter happened. So do not judge people who told you of their salvation encounter without remembering the exact date.

It is a good thing to know the date you got born again.

Today is another day to have a date for your salvation. So please humbly and genuinely say this: Lord Jesus, today is a good day, please forgive all my sins, come into my heart, break the yokes of sin, be my Lord and personal Saviour in Jesus name. Amen.

Attend a good church.

Happy Sunday to you.

Yes. I know. Lots of substandard materials out there. That’s why I am very choosy when procuring. I chose tested and tested materials for finishing.

That’s why I am an advocate of quality things.
It’s good we don’t do it at all, if we can’t afford it.

We have been brainwashèd in Nigeria to be a landlord by force. So people start building nonsensè, all the name of: WE HAVE MOVED TO OUR SITE.

The properties I built for sale here are great testimonies of what I always talk about qualities here.
When a buyer sent his engineer to come and check them ahead, the engineer said: OGA, THIS HOUSES ARE BUILT BETTER THAN THE ONES WE BUILD FOR YOU O.
The buyer said: HAA. IT MEANS YIU HAVE BEEN BUILDING RÛBBISH FOR ME SINCE.

After ending the call, the engineer said he’s trouble for saying such thing.
There’s nobody that got to the property and won’t say we really really tried.

Your attempt to trivialize the matter with insinuations about “alternate monikers” and sarcasm regarding the judicial process only serves to reveal your lack of understanding—or deliberate misrepresentation—of how legal proceedings function. Unlike your dismissive tone, Sen. Natasha’s approach is grounded in procedure and evidence, not political theater.

It is both misleading and irresponsible to imply that a lawyer’s duty begins and ends with filing a case. Serving a summon is part of due process—something that seems foreign to you, as you’ve conveniently stated you’ve “never entered court before.” That may explain your reckless confidence in publicly commenting on matters you clearly do not grasp.

As for the assertion that only Sen. Natasha “knows where it was dumped,” your deflection is noted. The truth does not need to hide behind sarcasm. Evidence speaks for itself, and the timeline of this case will not bend to political strategy or delay tactics. The law will take its course—whether that’s before or beyond 2027—and when it does, no feigned ignorance will serve as a shield.

Cooking alone at home.


U can hardly cook with 800, but can get an averagely nice meal with that.

WanderTryangle:
It’s deeply ironic to see someone so concerned with due process while simultaneously making inflammatory assumptions based on incomplete information.

Judicial proceedings often involve delays that have nothing to do with leniency or neglect.

Making sweeping accusations from the sidelines, especially without insight into the legal complexities or procedural stages, only highlights a lack of understanding.

If there’s genuine concern for justice, it should begin with respecting the process—not distorting it to suit a narrative.

BafanaBafana:
From my experience, if you stay alone, eating out is cheaper. If you doubt it, calculate the actual cost of preparing a meal, check how many times you will eat that meal and then compare how much it will cost you to buy that number of plates of the same quality of meal outside.

Further more, consider the time and labor cost.
You go to the market to buy food stuff
Prepare to cook
Do the cooking.
Be cleaning while cooking.
Go out to a nearby shop to buy something you forgot to buy in the market.
Finish cooking.
Wash the dishes after eating.

All these after buying food stuff with your money o
Meanwhile if you go to a restaurant, all you do is eat and leave.

So gents, eating out is way cheaper.

How will Uba Sani do much when El-Rufai has already mortgaged the future of the state. Most of their resources now go to repaying debt and interest courtesy of El-Rufai loans.

Until I see a positive impact in the economy and living conditions of Nigerians, all na wash.

State governors don't have any power over the floating of the naira. Neither do they have any say on import/ export matters and FG infrastructures..., that are so rundown, they're eyesores...these things are killing businesses and general prosperity of the populace.

Olaide1295:
The NLC itself push government into making terrible decisions.
Obasanjo took correct decision to sell off the refineries in 2006, but NLC protested and forced the govt to reverse that decision.
Now we have spent even more billions of dollars reviving dead assets.

Good policies are usually painful in short term. Even the power sector subsidy which is still ongoing needs to be stopped if NLC can bear the pain for long term economic success.

Tinubu's Anambra Visit: APGA Members, Soludo Support Groups Stripped of Uniforms, Warned

Ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's visit to Anambra State today, the Presidency has directed members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and Governor Soludo Support Groups not to wear their uniforms during the President's reception.

Sources close to the matter revealed that this decision was made to avoid giving the event a partisan tone.

According to insiders, the President's visit is primarily in response to an invitation from Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Secretary of the Commonwealth, who is hosting an event at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka.

The President's political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), had expressed concerns that the visit could be perceived as a vote of no confidence in their governorship candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, especially given the timing in an electioneering period.

A source familiar with the planning of the visit confirmed that the ban on uniforms was one of the conditions set before the President agreed to attend.

"This APGA uniform issue is one of the conditions given before BAT agrees to come," the source said.

Following this directive, Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, Special Adviser to Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, issued a statement informing attendees of the President's reception to dress in Mufti.

"This is to inform you that everybody coming to Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka for the reception of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu tomorrow( today) should be in Mufti," Dr. Obiogbolu said, adding, "Please, nobody should put on APGA clothes or Support Groups uniforms."

The move aims to emphasize the non-partisan nature of the President's visit, focusing on the commissioning of projects executed by Governor Soludo's administration, without more.

How are those "bills" that have been passed working for you Electricity bill that has translated into not having light at all?😔 @Mr I know-it-all?

They go abroad and see better social security there, they can't do same here. They see better security, lailai they only want to oppress us with security officers. They see correct infrastructure, they are sitting ducks here. Healthcare nko, they will rather carry our taxpayers money to travel and treat themselves and their family abroad.

Once again, the suspended Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District at the Senate was not in Court today when the suit she filed against Senator Godswill Akpabio and Mr. Mfon Patrick came up for hearing.

The Senator was represented at the hearing by Barr. O.U. Ugbogbo. In the suit filed since February and marked CV/754/2025, Senator Akpoti claimed she was defamed by Mr. Mfon Patrick, a Senior Legislative Aide to the President of the Senate.

Curiously, Senator Godswill Akpabio was also sued in his personal capacity. But since after filing the suit, only the office of the President of the Senate has been served with the originating process and no attempt has been made to serve others.

When the case came up today, Senator Akpoti's lawyer could not explain to the Court why processes have not been served on Senator Godswill Akpabio and Mr. Mfon Patrick since February when the case was filed.

Apparently infuriated by Senator Akpoti's Lawyer's obvious ignorance of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules, the presiding Judge thundered, "don't come and stare at the ceiling. You have to be serious about this case and resort to the Rules".

Counsel for Mr. Mfon Patrick, Fidel Albert, Esq informed the Court that he was appearing under protest as his client had equally not been served with the Court processes and only became aware of the case on social media.

Counsel to Senator Natasha Akpoti pleaded with the Court for more time to put their house in order, an application which was not opposed. Consequently, the case has been further adjourned to June 9 to enable Senator Akpoti file all necessary applications, if any.

A viral post on social media has stirred widespread debate after a Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom was reportedly handed a wedding expense list totalling ₦21,570,000 by his fiancée’s family in Nigeria

The controversial list was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @HOLARMEEDEY1, who expressed outrage over what he described as an exploitative demand placed on an immigrant who had only recently relocated to the UK less than two years ago.

“You reach UK e never reach 2yrs. You are not from a rich family. And your potential wife is not from a rich family either. But e reach time for wedding your in-laws are giving you quote that want to [b]unalive you [/b]and you cannot refuse,” he captioned the list.

The list reportedly included over ₦5 million for the event hall alone, alongside other substantial expenses. According to the post, the groom-to-be was also expected to buy the bride’s wedding gown and foot the bill for her parents’ outfits, with no financial contribution from the bride’s family.

Fair enough.

Keeping them honest (from federal to state to LG) is the way to go. BAT's problem though, is that he massively overpromised and he has greatly underdelivered. He made mouth watering campaign promises about jobs, exchange rates, security and the economy as a whole. He has not kept any of those promises.

People don't like being conned.

No.

Dead on arrival (DOA).

It won't work.

Stick to the issues.



If it won't work then Nigeria would not be what it is we are seeing and experiencing now....

This is something else. You are already getting the excuses in, barely halfway through the man's term in office. You are absolving the man, way ahead of time, before his inevitable failure.

Its not going to work.

The BAT administration will be held accountable. It will!



I am not giving you excuses but I'm telling you reality for we don't have and not practice anything ideally.
When no one can hold POBJ, PGEJ accountable, is it PBAT that will be held !!!

^^^
This is propaganda. Nigerians are not interested in it.

They want to see sensible, prudent action taken to improve their material condition...and the BAT administration has so far failed to deliver in this regard.

This isn't the time for some fables about Lagos. Nigerians want results!

Young lady, I am speaking facts not hearsay


Listen, I came down to Lagos because of that 2023 Presidential election. I manned the 3 polling units in my estate. We even did a casual bet with APC men that Labor will win all the 3 polling units, at the end, Peter Obi won all the 3 polling units, we all were there and counted it; APC, PDP and LP reps and voters were all present as we counted and Obi won Presidential with wide margins, PDP won House of Reps and APC won Senate, we copied results and left as the INEC officials struggled to upload the results on irev.


To my greatest surprise the next day, the result they uploaded on irev showed that APC/Tinubu won all the 3 polling units Obi won and he won with wide margins followed by PDP/Atiku that came third.


Honestly only God will reward Tinubu, INEC and all supporters of that injustice against Peter Obi just because he is Igbo.


Nigeria is going nowhere until you guys repent and stop supporting glaring evil.


When I showed the result to a very popular APC man in my estate, a rich man, he laughed at me that didn't he tell me and others not to waste our votes on Obi that Tinubu will win?



You can imagine the audacity. Whenever I remember the incident it still hurt me till today, so don't bring back those ugly memories please

CreativeOrbit:
Calling for accountability from public officials, including Senator Akpabio, is a legitimate and essential civic responsibility.

In any democratic society, the public has not only the right but also the duty to question and scrutinize those in positions of power—especially when serious allegations have been raised, whether these allegations have been fully substantiated or are still under investigation.

Upholding transparency and demanding integrity from leaders should not be misconstrued as bias, but rather recognized as a cornerstone of good governance and the rule of law.
