In your own view, do you think they should listen to his demands?

I'm not the one who wants something, so my opinion is irrelevant.

Chai. Boko Haram will never know peace o

You are one of the intelligent first not to equate those swines with Islam like most are doing.

Some of here even have Muslims as their neighbours and in their families, but can't seem to accept the difference between bokoharam and the Muslims they know!

I hope they don't expect me to pay staff salary during the closure, since I wouldn't be earning any income.

And I hope they realise this is an incentive for me to consider relocating my business to a state that wouldn't close my business for religious reasons, and the effect it has on employment in the state, and its effect on the ramadanians I wouldn't be paying.

You know your girlfriend more than everyone of us. What you're asking is for nairalanders to just pack a lot of ASSUMPTIONS about what may be going on.

You know she has a lot of sim cards, now she has a new Whatsapp with cleavages as profile picture. So yeah, you should be worried if someone can openly put their (or not their) cleavages as profile picture. Have a conversation with her and let her know straight up that if she's doing anything that betrays your trust, una go share garri.

Then live your life. If she does wetin make you suspect her, then do wetin you like.

He wants us to validate whatever it is that he thinks already based on the little he has told us about his gf. And next he'd be asking us if he should be on top during mating or underneath, and how long he should go on for.

Wimkeh, I bet your suspicions did not start with this call and the discovery of her other numbers. The bright side is she's not your wife, yet, so you don't exactly need to divorce her.

By showing "humanity" in this case, you are also accepting culpability, so why pay anything in the first place unless they have signed a waiver?

And didn't the driving instructor have insurance?

I'd have rather charged the bike owner for causing me stress and damage to my car, but since the car is not mine I don't need to charge for the damage to it, which I would have if it was.

But Hezzyluv has given better advice than mine, so please ignore me and do what he said. I am going to hell and you might want to go to that other place.

If they want him to stay, yes. If they don't, no.

Man knows his self worth and value, and if he's not worth that to NFF they can go get someone cheaper.

I feel like I felt when I started smiling all alone. I know why and what made me smile, and being caught doesn't change that.

Op, your use of "caught" made it sound like I was stealing or doing something negative I'd rather not be found doing. It made me smile all alone though.

QuinQQ:
What's your big takeaway from Heidegger philosophy?

I've been thinking about your question, and I'm finding it rather difficult to give an answer, I confess.

One big takeaway would be his writing style and it's validation of mine. Heidegger gives words unique new meanings, which show an independence of thought and seeing things in new ways. He does not limit himself to how things (and existence) are accepted as being, but lays out the possibility that we can transcend how things are to how things can be, and makes one consider the role of we humans to explore those possibilities and bring about change in one's own life and in one's environment. Basically (and to explain through a Biblical lens, which I choose to do because many are familiar with it, and not because Heidegger makes any such connection), one can either be a mindless Adam, or a creation in God's Image with all associated abilities, though I confess that might be me reading my own understanding into Heidegger.

The biggest takeaway however, is whatever I thought I knew needs more exploration, and other possibilities need considering. This has made me somewhat humble (I'm generally very arrogant, so that's a small shift on my part), and its provoked me to go back to school to learn more. I'm considering anthropology.

I'm still digesting Being and Time, and my regret is that I didn't start sooner, because I'd have understood more about the world and others and moreso myself if I had.

This is not a synopsis of the book. I'm reluctant to write one because I'm aware it's a book that has quite a lot to say, and influences people in different ways and depending on the lenses (prior knowledge) one may have before reading it. This is just a quick response to your question, which is a question I will be returning to till I die.

I'm going to read this, and many other books before I can say I have a clue what the heck he was saying. And perhaps I might actually read the book, instead of listening to it, which is what I have done.

jamafa:
U taking as if you were in that position, you will do better.

I'm very delighted you can tell I'd do better just from hearing me talk.

buzmanjohn:
Speaking, Business mogul and Chairman of Dangote Group of Companies, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, thanked the federal government for the progressive policy, highlighting that Nigeria is the only country in Africa where the private sector is larger than government.

He added that domestic manufacturers welcome the policy and expressed confidence that “the naira, this year, will be at ₦1,000 to $100.”

I find it rather annoying that they unveil a policy and I can't find it anywhere.

I'd really like to see how they plan to achieve this "₦1,000 to $100".

Bahamas95:
The stories she tells me aren’t folktales o ---they’re stories about her childhood friends, schoolmates, family/church members and even her village people. Its full community report. Honestly, most of them don’t even deserve documentation.

She’s the last child in her family, and before we met, her mum was her official gist partner. Now she has transferred that duty to me. That’s the price I pay for marrying a mummy’s girl.

We’ve been married for over two years now, but we’ve been together for five years altogether. So yes… I’ve been attending this storytelling class for five solid years with no graduation yet. 😭😂

I presumed they were stories "about her childhood friends, schoolmates, family/church members and even her village people". I'm also presuming she's good at it too.

As for you graduating, dream on, since she's living life and gathering more stories to tell, which is why I'd encourage her to write them down and consider publishing them in a book. Tell her it's for her children to read when they grow up. It might encourage her to write.

Emotionss:
What in God's name are you saying ?

I'm saying nothing at all in God's name. But I trust you'd decipher what I said if you use your God given senses to decipher it.

Do however let me know which bits you find difficult exactly and I might oblige you with understanding.

BigHeart01:
However, she accidentally sent me a message meant for her cousin where she admitted she is still deeply in love with Joe but does not want to lose me because I am kind and dependable.

Now I am deeply afraid. If I marry her, she may still be emotionally attached to him.

No you are not afraid at all, if I were being honest with you. And your heart may be big where others are concerned, but it sure seems tiny towards yourself.

I'm not going to bother telling you what to do because I'm certain others will tell you, but I doubt you'd hear since you've told this long rambling story to convince yourself to do what you know you shouldn't.

Good luck. And do keep us updated please.

It is rather amazing that predominant Christians are electing Muslims. Here in Blighty, we're even considering a fourth term for our Khan.

You told one lie though that needs correcting.

All schools in the UK do not now only serve Halal meat. And lying they do diminishes whatever it is you claim.

CyynthiaKiss:
The major beauty of Islam..

Actually, it's the major ugliness of some imbeciles, as you'd find most Islamic countries do not have this backward rule.

Racoon:
Does a public office holder even need 2 years to make an impact?

Yes. But if they can't convince people to elect them after 4 years of being in the position to make an impact, they shouldn't get another 4 years not to talk of 16, which is far too much especially if they are impactless.

This would hopefully spread around the nation.

Despite the national slowdown, state-level data show wide variations. On a year-on-year basis in January 2026, Kogi recorded the highest food inflation at 19.84%, followed by Benue at 18.38% and Adamawa at 17.29%.

WhizdomXX:
Rivers people stayed in line to be counted yet INEC exchanged their results for Wike's money. A VC I knew then, was the REC.

So, the people beat up the corrupt INEC, right? Because, if they didn't, they should have. But better still would have been voters showing INEC they are being watched so INEC wouldn't dare. They could also have taken a valid result to court to contest Wike's money.

But the beauty of democracy is you get to resit every 4 years, and would have, in that time, found the antidote to Wike's money and corrupt INEC officials. Part of democracy is after all being a party representative observing elections so we are not robbed by the Wikes.

Wikes are like hunters who have learnt to shoot without missing. We the birds, should therefore not just stand still to be shot, but should learn to fly without perching so the Wikes miss.

This is the sort of thing I read that make me think of food on my table.

I'd learn the details of this Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018 and just put a sign up in front of my house saying I help people for 10% of whatever I get back for them plus like an upfront ₦1000 registration fee, provided they have followed the rules of course.

And if the company don't pay, I'll sue them in court under this act for a refund and cost of suing. The cost would of course be mine to keep.

Bahamas95:

Don't allow anybody tell you otherwise, marriage is fun. I'm happier as a married guy compared to when I was single.

Your marriage is fun because you have a wife who wants to tell you stories about her past and because you are mature enough to listen to her sometimes, and you are being rewarded by learning to be patient.

Seems like you married recently too, so I expect your reward of patience to increase and be extended to your other relationships (work colleagues, family, children, etc), which would benefit you much in your future.

Encourage your wife to write her stories down. You never know how they might profit your family, but they very likely would.

Rep9jaCom:
SAY NO TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!

Say it very loudly please!

The Court needs to clarify so this Pedro is corrected, because I very much doubt the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, applies to Abuja alone.

Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) are not mandated by, nor does it operate under the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law.

Lagos State can indeed legislate on residual matters, including vehicle inspection and traffic management, but they shouldn't use federal VIO as their enforcing agent, and should go create a Lagos VIO funded by Lagos State!

Samantha125:
I'm currently helping my nephew with an acting job post... I asked him to send me a short clip of him in character, the boy sent me a video of himself in his mother's dress and wig acting as a female...🤦🤦🤦

I'll only help teenagers from now...😌😌😌

Teenagers who are boys or girls, I bet, and that's good enough help for me.

My phone number is on the front of my village house, but my village people know to only contact me when it concerns their education. I do get calls from hungry people, but they soon learn not to waste their time and money calling me.

Samantha125:
I'm done.

I don't believe you. I'll in fact place you top of my list of to seek help from whenever I need it please.

Samantha125:
One of them just turned down a job offer this past December because it was in another province and she didn't want to live separately from the same boyfriend who's been mistreating her... She prefers to continue working in retail which doesn't pay much as long as she's living with the guy... And what pisses me off the most is that she's always disturbing me for financial assistance despite living with the guy, but would immediately have numerous excuses whenever I suggest other job opportunities to her.

And this was a banking job with a decent salary... I'm honestly done helping my gender with any form of job opportunities, we're very ungrateful, especially when a man is in the picture, we'd rather suffer in the hands of a man than find a way elevate ourselves.

Excuse me please, but one woman being very ungrateful does not make all women very ungrateful, and one woman definitely shouldn't make you very unhelpful, and likely hasn't despite your honesty.

Carazon:
He specifically said "Researchers/Scientists" from Africa not "Faith Healers/ Prayer Doctors
Read, digest and understand before replying.

"Researchers/Scientists" from Africa or anywhere know not to cast their pearls before the public, and would publish their discovery in reputable journals so their peers can review their discovery.

Learn please before responding.

NaijaPrismata:
It will be my first time traveling to Nigeria can anyone recommend the top 5 places i should visit ?

I don't know where you travelling from, but imagine asking for the top 5 places to visit in say Germany or USA or UK. Get my drift?

Where in Nigeria you are planning to go would help you get recommendations you can get to in the time you'd be there. Would help too if you list your interests.

AmazonTopaz:
Good for them.

Happy birthday.

Just the way researchers/scientists from Africa discovers the antidote for any deadly virus goes missing mysteriously. If you doubt me, just tell the public that you have discovered the drugs for cancer or hiv and see if you will live to tell the story.

I think I might live if I "just tell the public that you have discovered the drugs for cancer or hiv". I think I might starve too if no one believes me, or I might end up killing people who do believe me.

A certain Temitope Balogun Joshua told the public that he had discovered the drugs for hiv. I know a man he healed and told to stop using medication, and the man was so grateful he gave Temitope one of his houses. Unfortunately, the hiv returned and he was rushed to a doctor who told him how stupid he was and put him back on medicine. But the man went back to Temitope, who told him "o ye of little faith", and healed the man again and told him to stop the medication, and Temitope was given another house in gratitude by the man. But the illness returned and doctor treated him again till he was stabilised. The man went back to Temitope who told him to have more faith, and healed the man who gave Temitope another building. But when the man stopped taking his medication and fell ill this time there was nothing the doctor could do and the man died.

I heard this story of the dead man who believed Temitope could heal him, in a meeting where relatives of the dead man were determining how to house the wife and three children the dead man left behind after Temitope Balogun Joshua who told the public that he had discovered the drugs for hiv had kicked the family out of the houses the dead man who believed him had given him.

Basically, one does not "just tell the public that you have discovered the drugs for cancer or hiv", and the public should be wise enough not to just take your telling them as fact because you just told them. One proves one has discovered the drugs for cancer or hiv by showing evidence to prove it. And as far as medical evidence goes, one better know how it ought to be presented or only fools who'd end up dead will believe you.

I guess the reason for the paternity test is because we don't trust each other and have no plans to be in a relationship with one another. So yes, you must do a paternity test to ensure you are not paying support for a child that is not yours.

If we are in a relationship however, and you insist on a paternity test, you must forgive me for hearing you don't trust me, and a lack of trust between us is definitely detrimental to our child, as your lack of trust will gradually eat at our relationship until there will be no relationship between us.

But I think it's not easy for a man to understand, so think of it this way. Imagine you go out one day and come back with lipstick on your cheek. I'd likely be suspicious you are playing away, and I'd be wary you don't pass on to me what you might have caught with the lipstick. So it's condoms from now on dude, which I'm certain would negatively impact our marriage and the upbringing of our children.

Yes it is, if you do your research and know where you are going and how to get around and use your brain and can cope with being different to everyone else and can accommodate just about everyone being curious about you and poking their nose in your business. If you are friendly too, you wouldn't even be solo for long.

You'd need to know where not to go though, because white or black man, there's places that are not safe.
