We all know that the number of car owners that tint their windows is so high now.

Let me kind of state some of the pros of tinted car windows.

Pros
1) It gives the occupants of the car some privacy
2) It gives your car some cool look.

Cons
In my opinion, it may affect your clarity of vision

Please feel free to add your voice to this

Light tint for the front is okay

Exactly what is the role of DSS in this country. Are they not suppose to be the secret police to always infiltrate the underworld and fight this insecurity from inside. Even police should have undercovers.

They should all know what they have signed for and government should stop treating them as normal salary earners and likewise the bosses should stop mining the field agents

And a new Shekau is born. Those calling for arrest of Ekpa as a solution don't understand how to win wars . This guy looks worse than Ekpa who looks worse than Kanu. Southeast Governors should figure out ways to negotiate for end to this violence cause force cannot win it.

You don't negotiate with terrorists or non-state actors otherwise you empower them

DSS, with NPF are the ones that is supposed to collaborate and stop this nonsense but they are busy chasing CBN governor and deputy govenors up and down

Lagos is the only southwestern state that can produce non-indigenous wealthy people. You see osun, ondo, kwara, Oyo, ogun, and Ekiti, those ones have no indigenous millionaires let alone non-indigenous ones. Lagos is their UK. I remember lodging in Ekiti in January, I was told to bathe in a nearby river if I needed to have a bath. I was given dirty wrapper, bucket and soap. While we were still discussing, I saw an army of bedbugs dancing around the corner. I had to forfeit the #1500 per night I already paid and left before they mined my skul.
Ogun state is so backward that they call primary school college:

Lagos is built by the colonialists and non-indigenes. Yorubas contribution to the growth of Lagos is puny and can easily go unnoticed

Edited: kwara is north central, but a former Yoruba state that was forcefully snatched from the loudspeaking cowards

Clean your mouth.

Only idiots join a cult. They are all utterly stupid and useless. Laziness, greed and covetousness is a leading factor.

Their mates are accomplishing boxing sport to earn excellent money. They are doing the same to create menaces and nuisances.

ivandragon:
If the bottlenecks, corruption & stress in getting approved building plans were not there, people would willingly get such documents.


The government needs to sanitise itself first & make getting such documents/approval easy with clear guidelines.

Unfortunately, all the goverment workers are rootly hungry and grown to become cankerworms

Supremos:
what concerned the destroyed businesses with the people killed?

It is your constitutional right to keep wondering

Ceejay94:
it's not possible to expose the people you don't know. The civilians are innocent and should not be harmed for any reason

Locals always knows. bet it

Supremos:
Stop destroying businesses premises. That has been your modus oparandi.

In Orlu Imo state, you always burn shops and markets and loot the ones you can.

Why not face the boys and leave civilians out of your madness

Those business is no where equal to the soldiers that where burnt alive there

They are all high on drugs

Feature of an unbalanced economy of citizens

Chemicalboss1:
Yea.
Ladies if your man cheats on you and hides it from you, even if you find out, please ignore.
He still loves and respects you that's why he keeps it a secret.

It's just the desire to try new things that pushes most men.

Some wives cheat just for additional income not necessarily for love. The fact remains that irrespective of the motive, cheating is a no no.

EkelediliBuhari:
Let’s agree this is my story….

Pardon my long write up but I needed to get a perspective from a fresh eye/mind. I’m married for 3 years now with 2infants.

Am I overthinking or does my wife have other plans?

My dad is an established accountant with over 3 decades of experience at the highest level of his occupation in 2 multinationals. He is now retired and consults. Presently, he lives a day at a times cos he barely has plans for his firm (he is over 70 and doesn’t have anybody he’s training his my mom).

I have a good career earning almost a million monthly with side gigs that keeps me liquid (meeting all my family’s basic needs). Monthly upkeep of 200k mainly for feeding while I pay utilities and still bring out cash (no fixed amount) from time to time. Presently am setting up a firm for contracting and consultancy.

My wife is a caterer (she loves cooking and baking) whom I have supported over the years. She has gotten much better and I have invested in her business. Presently she has all the basic requirements for her work and she works from home. We live in a 4 bed and converted one to her studio (fully furnished - AC tables shelves etc).

Over the years I have encouraged her to focus on entrepreneurship. This will give her total control of her time. This way the kids get her attention while she handles business which I hope to one day retire into. I make sure she doesn’t contribute her personal funds to the home as I advise her to save for rain days. I have encouraged her to work closely with my dad to earn experience as they share same profession hopefully take over the firm in time while I groom mine for which she is the major shareholder (I’m not even a shareholder).

Overall, do not look for a 9-5 like me, let’s grow a business.

However, she applies for jobs here and there. Just this morning she woke up as early as 4:30am applying for a customer service position and had to wake me up to correct her cover note.

At this point I feel like giving up on her. I feel she just wants to have a paying Job for whatever reason. But I know know the downsides; no time for the kids, 40-80% of income goes on expenses, work stress, regrets - now you can’t quit because you have to prove you can do it.

Am I being unreasonable telling her not to work and focus on developing her business skills?

NB: I have never discouraged her in her business rather encouraged/ advised and funded.

Modified: for those insisting I let her be, how do we plan our future if we share separate visions?? When has working ever made anyone rich??

If she gets an IOC opportunity I’ll definitely support tho, but these are not the toes she’s applying for 100k -300k

Your visions can never be the same except both learns to compromise.

I understand that flexibility for one of you is very important.

I think she feels like you are controlling her. She wants to feel fulfilled rather than doing your own bidding. You need to talk to her anicably for her to see reasons. I hope you are not the type that brag that it is my money, I did this, I did that. Maybe she wants to earn what she can call her own sweat

KingAzubuike:
You're still a kid, you won't understand. Continue allowing your wife pay rent or school fees. The day yuu have little misunderstanding is the day the whole world will know you're an irresponsible man who contributes nothing to his family.

That is how you get it wrong. My marriage is almost 20 years if you care to know, my wife and I do things together. I am not autocratic or looking for points to prove. My leadership is not about romancing my ego. We do not allow our misunderstanding to degenerate because we both know that the success of our partnership is both our responsibility.

KingAzubuike:
Lol. My late dad of blessed memory experienced this when i was a kid. Mom paid my school fees for just a term coz dad was going through financial troubles. When they had disagreement, she started telling everybody that she has been the one paying my fees and catering for me since I was born. Infact she sugar coated the whole story to make it look like my father was an irresponsible man. My papa shock no be small. even me self I shock because I knew she was lying.

Never allow your wife pay rent or build the house in which you're living.

Never you buy any form of property together.

In future , she'll use these things against you.

A word is enough for .......

A good deed remains a good deed. If your mother is a pathetic liar, do not generalize.

Nursepepeye:
it's a serious crime to allow woman to pay Rent you hear me. 99% of women will insult that man before 6months. And it will lead to that marriage collapse.

When you marry a woman and not a wife, yes. When you marry a wife and your circumstances is open to both of you, if she has it she pays.

Stupid advice. Let everyone grow in the fear of God Almighty and all this is bullshit.

essentialone:
Abusive husbands didn't fall from the sky, someone raised a boy wrongly.

Your 3years old son gets angry whenever you give him food he doesn't want and throws it on you, you laugh and say "😃😃 children ehh".

Baby boy will lift his hands and slap you when he wants you to drop him...All you'd say is "you're beating mummy 😃"

No other child in that area messes with him...And you're calling him "A no- nonsense boy"

He picks up things from the ground and hits people whenever he's stopped from doing something...You smile and call him "action boy😃🤾🏿‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️"

You expose him to all manner of violence and say "He's a man, man suppose get mind"

Few years down the line the teenage boy bullies his sisters, commands them around, shares slaps as souvenirs to anyone that dares to challenge him.
You call him "man of the house"😃

He grew up having his way all through. Now he's a full grown man in the society. And it's not funny anymore.

Abusive husbands didn't fall from the sky, someone raised a boy wrongly.

*IT'S EASIER TO TRAIN A SON THAN TO CORRECT A HUSBAND.*

We could address a lot from the root.

Sorry if you’ve been hurt with this post ?

But! This is just the Fact 👌🤷‍♀️

May Almighty God make it easy for us all AmennN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The same way we have abusive, mannerless and entitled wives.

benuejosh:
My issue with Police is that give those police guys just 3 months and you will pity those vehicles when you see them.

If you want to know the poor maintenance culture of Nigerians then look at the Nigeria Police patrol vehicles.

I do not expect them to stay perfect anyways but it is disheartening that these vehicles turns to scraps without fulfilling it's purpose, which is to help forestall security.

This happens when you have a set of Humans who have refused to develop. Human wise there is no development in Nigeria

Both of you should be working and contributing, doing things together. Either of you should not fan any stupid ego.
Let her ask what she needs when she needs it

Racoon:
The army ought to be blocking off all the escape routes of BH terrorists and bandits in Sambisa forest and not been seen in the civil life. This is supposed to be the job of the police.

Nigeria is directionless

Princejydo:
Good afternoon nairalander, pls in my apartment, the bore hole is sunk besides the soakaway and now the soakaway is full, and the water is usually coming out especially during the raining season. I want to ask that is it safe to drink the water. Though we have been drinking it since I got there around 2019 but now the soakaway is full and the caretaker has refused to do the needfull

Na caretaker shit for the soak away abi Una dey pay for service charges. Una no serious, make Una no go pack una shit. Yeye dey smell

Menclothing:
I laugh when they say politicians are corrupt civil and public servants are the worst Nigerian citizens worse than the leaders it’s because they don’t have stealing opportunities

If you think coup will ever happen again in Nigeria you are full see military man many gov senators don’t have half of this

Coup can happen. A captain or major can plan coup. General wey no see position pack money, can plan coup

helinues:
Was it FG that was controlling the administrative business of Mainland and other Lagos environ?

Why do you lots like to argue blindly, something we have debated severally on this forum.

Nigeria Capital was in Lagos Island, controlled by FG while the Mainland and other Lagos part of Lagos was under Awolowo administration.

Before the pronuncement of FCT as the new capital, which state was the capital?. Think before responding and remember that states have been created before the creation of FCT.

Adjovi:
To all those who still see the western worlds democracy as the best, the coups happening all over Africa should tell you that democracy of the westerners does not mean power of the people but interest of the west.

Africa's Longest Serving Presidents

Teodoro Obiang | Equatorial Guinea | 44 years (since 1979)

Paul Biya | Cameroon | 41 years (since 1982)

Yoweri Museveni | Uganda | 37 years (since 1986)

Isaias Afwerki | Eritrea | 30 years (since 1993)

Dennis Sassou | Congo | 26 yrs (1997)
Africa's Longest Serving Presidents

Ismaïl Omar Guelleh | Djibouti | 24 years (since 1999)

Paul Kagame | Rwanda | 23 years (since 2000)

Faure Gnassingbe | Togo | 18 years (since 2005)


Then we have Gaddafi 40+ years.

The west decided to go after Gaddafi and left out all these people. Why?

do not be dumb. All those dispensation were under forceful rule. It is your fault to give west ears in your own democracy

reiddecuti:
Barking dog has finally rested. I know Tinubu don't have the ball to execute his threat on Niger as ECOWAS chairman.

Come to think of it, it's even time West African region question the existence of ECOWAS as a regional block and Africans also question the existence of AU. It seems these bodies are organization of toothless bulldogs with same selfish interest to condemn a process once it's not in their interest and applaud and send congratulatory messages to their kind whether if the process that brought them to power is flawed.

Alassane Ouattara of Ivory Coast have refused to relinquish power after his done with him terms trying to amend the constitution to contest for another term. This was a man that fought his predecessor Laurent Gbagbo for refusing to relinquish power in 2011 that resulted to a revolt in Ivory Coast. Now he has forgotten how it ended with his predecessor and is traveling on the same lane. African Leaders don't learn.

Then, what's the essence of me as an individual surrendering my sovereignty under a democratic dispensation while not receiving the dividends of democracy?

I keep hearing people say "the worst democracy is better than the military regime." This has been the fallacy these men has used to blind us while they continue to masterminds and bastardize our sovereignty, humanity, and our integrity. Truth be told these our civilian leaders both the past, current and possibly the present are worst than the military. Can you compare what the governors does in the states to military regime? the gaging of the press, the massive looting with no developments, etc. If not that FG is the center where all eyes are, it could have been bad at the center. 8 years of Buhari was a typical example and those of us that followed events knows how it all played out.

Worst democracy is better because you people are not practicing democracy yet not to talk of having the worst one. Nigeria became decimated under military rules, No country has advanced under military but looting.

It is the people that should develop a sense of purpose and appreciate humanity.

I am sure you are one of those making noise that Tinubu should focus on the problem of Nigeria. Now he turned around, and he is now a tootless bulldog.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
Always complaining. Haba!

That is the fact and not a complain. When will you guys understand the thin lines. Complacency is a cancer eating Africa

Shoodboi:
"Educated" in Nigeria today refers to anyone with a B.Sc and above. Even ONDs, HNDs, and COE graduates are struggling for recognition. Many book, no sense. The whole thing is even ridiculous. Even if it was true, didn't they meet fuel in the hose when they got to the filling station? It's common sense.

Even see the slow pokes in management.
