The problem with Nigeria's systems, policy, polity and sectors is not lawlessness, but enforcement of the laws.

The number one on my priority list is law enforcement, regardless of citizens' status or influence.

What's yours?

Hello my fellow Nairalanders, my girlfriend has been suffering right from her childhood till now, please is there any solution for her because this bed-wetting issue is becoming something else. just yesterday she decided to spent a night in her boyfriend house since it was raining heavily ( note, she doesn't sleep outside because of this problem) only for her to come to my house this morning as early as 5:30am with tears in her eye and when I ask her what happen, she told me the same old issue of bed wetting and that the guy drove her out, call her names and ask her never to call him again.

please what can she do to stop this mess because age is no longer on her side.
mature advice please!

Let her pray and take three spoons of original honey before she sleeps every night, this will help the sensitivity of her bladder, which in turn will cause her to sensitive when her bladder is getting filled.

My husband says as a Christian ,I shouldn't believe in what people call karma but I have seen this happen over and over again,people reap what they sow. Find me another word to call it. You can't sow coco yam and expect to go and harvest gboko yams

Too many examples I have seen but two stand out to me

One

I know a man and his wife who were close friends with this other couple we know. The two men had been childhood friends in Nigeria,emigrated to the the USA and remained tight friends ,both men married and their wives also became good friends.Eventually one of the couples divorced over the wife's infidelity.The other couple betrayed this man by remaining friends with that wife accompanying her to pack her stuff from her matrimonial home and giving her emotional support in the courtroom during the divorce.
We were so saddened to hear all this ,my husband expressed to the disloyal friend that he didn't act right and when the betrayed man told us about his divorce and his wife's infidelity in tears ,what hurt him most was the actions of his best friend and his wife.

A decade later ,that second couple were at the verge of divorce and one day it hit me,this was karma about to happen. I asked my husband to call this guy and ask him to go beg his former friend for his role a decade ago,my husband didn't want to be involved ,well they divorced and the man suffered worse fate.He ended up homeless and penniless and squatting with someone when the wife kicked him out and filed for divorce with a restraining order.

Two

A second case that stands out to me is an overbearing mother in law that treated her daughter in law so badly because she took a while to get pregnant and when the DIL eventually got pregnant she had a still birth and her mother- in-law told her the marriage was over.she went from that hospital back to her parent's house and the man married another wife at the command of his mom.

The MIL's only daughter was young when all this happened. She eventually grew up to be a very beautiful girl with suitors swarming.

She married the first husband and her MIL hated her with a perfect hatred.She couldn't conceive and the treatment got worse. She was eventually thrown out of her matrimonial home literally.i heard she threw out her belongings on the street and locked the door, she married the second husband ,an older man and he got sick a few years later and died .The girl had no child till this day.

It was just a few weeks ago it hit me and I told my husband,this is karma

Her daughter was treated the same exact way she treated someone's daughter ,perhaps worse.

Do you believe in karma?
Share your karma stories

It's not Karma, don't be deceived by those names. It's all in the Bible. Right from Genesis where God said '...seed time and harvest time will not cease...' so tell me, where was Karma when God made this pronouncement?

I heard that the new guys that were recruited( in Nigeria) last year have done their medicals and possibly going through their background screening at the moment.

Where is the power to watch and listen to what he has to say.

If only he had fixed electricity, he would have won 2015 election without campaign!

I was traveling from Portharcourt to my village, but had to stop over in Ibadan to board another vehicle going to my village.

At a point, I felt someone lifted the bag I was backing, which made me feel my bag was weightlessness. When I looked back, I saw a guy in black round neck vest who faced another direction, in presence that he wasn't the one that lifted my back. At that point, he had successfully unzipped my bag and located my wallet. I knew he did it, but couldn't accost him because I didn't catch him red-handed.
The second time, he tried pulling my wallet strap, but all thanks to God, a little flap on my bag held it back.

It was when I boarded a cab going to Sanngo, I discovered what the guy had done.

They didn't stop there. They were foolish to have followed me on bike to Sango where I alighted, hoping they could finally pull it out. But they've forgotten it's from the same wallet I'll take my transport fare. I already had it in my hand.

As I alighted from the cab, they parked their bike beside the cab I boarded. At this point, I brought out my fez and put it on (an identity they were using to track me). At that point, one of them uttered the statement, ' na im be this'. Again, I couldn't raise an alarm, because I didn't catch them red-handed.

I had in my wallet, cash running to 15K, my American Express card preloaded with 20K USD, my atm cards and ID cards.

Thank God for the shielding.

Guys beware of guys in black round neck top.

It's now the order of the day in Portharcourt. The annoying part of it is that it's mostly done while escorting expatriates, thinking they are doing the expatriates favour or worse still, doing what they are paid for . This is the same set of people that will go back to their country and describe Nigeria as a lawless nation.

shadowgwalker:
start and finish oh!tout!! that's the solution to your own problem. keep mouth like revolution.

Though, it's an anonymous social platform, but I think you should respect yourself. If you are one of those complacent with the situation of things, you should have just scrolled past the post instead of looking for cheap attention.

For how long will we continue to watch politicians who having served in one capacity or the other, contributed nothing to the betterment of their people? For how long will this recycling continue?

For how long will we, the citizens of this country continue to be voiceless?

When will we have leaders that will have the interest of their people at heart, without being power drunk?

I believe it is time for us, the youth, to stand up and take charge, not putting religion and ethnic sentiments ahead of the goal of achieving the best Nigeria can be.

When I saw the results of all the political parties' primaries results, my heart bled. My fellow citizens, as far as 2015 governance is concerned, there won't be any positive change till 2019, because it's the same group of people that are coming back to contest. We are in for a rat race.

Two terms governors, former house of rep members, state of assembly members, commissioners, ministers, all vying for Senatorial seat. Former senators for governorship seat. No fresh blood!

It's time for us, the youth to take our future into our hands!

I stand for Revolution!

VillageBoi:
You are aware of the biggest difference right? SLR cameras use actual rolls of film and DSLR cameras are the 'digital' version of SLRs and capture images to SD cards, CF cards and so on.

First of all are you able to buy rolls of film and get them developed? I would assume that's not too easy in this day and age and will cost a bit of money.
With a DSLR you can see your image immediately on the back screen, you can delete and retake as many times as you want. With an SLR if your film is '36'... you take 36 shots and that's it... done, kaput... no going back.

Personally, no one really should be thinking about Single Lens Reflex cameras. As for the 'digital' versions both Canon and Nikon are good. Get yourself whatever you can afford and a couple of lenses. Maybe the general stock lens; that could be 18-55mm or 18-135mm and a cheap prime like the 50mm f1.8. (a 50mm f1.4 is better but costs many times more than the f1.8 lenses)

That's basic starter and then grow from there. Good luck with everything.

Thanks a lot, your comment was a good eye opener and has informed my choice. Come o, you sounded like a photography professional, are you one?

Did anybody notice this?

Glo G - bam package was originally advertised as 5K per second to 5 special glo numbers and 18K per second to other numbers irrespective of the network. All of the sudden, without any form of prior information, we found ourselves calling Our 5 registered numbers for 9K per second while others go for 15K per second.
Within a space of 2 weeks, it soared up to 11K per second to 5 special numbers, 15k per second to others, still without prior information.
And on a final note, today, it skyrockets to 25k per second to 5 special numbers and only God knows how much the call rate to other numbers is.
In a country that has laws?!
Could it be this is the 'Terms and conditions apply ' they usually refer to in their adverts?
Is NCC not aware of this?
Hasn't CPC been notified of this?

This is unfair!

Cutehector4u:

I intend finding out today. It looks like God is Good doesn't ply all axis.

Cutehector4u:

Cutehector4u:
For those staying in ph, i think its cool if we all went togeda in d same bus.... We could use peace or God is good.... What do u think

I think God is Good is a good option, considering the quality of their service and speed limit (Though God is our keeper). Can anyone please help find out how much, where (Is it water lines?) and when the take off time will be. Thanks and happy preparation.

Can those who didn't pay the 4K reprint too?

Jennifer said it is Yoruba Edukesan!

Hey house,

Can anyone assist on what specifications to look out for when buying an SLR or a DSLR digital camera. Explaining the meaning of the specification will be of great help too (Like 18mm, 18-50mm...)

What differentiates an SLR from a DSLR camera?

Does brand matter?

If so, what brand would you recommend?

Can anyone bail me out on the difference between SLR and DSLR cameras and advice on which option to go for between a Canon and a Nikkon SLR with the same specifications.
