Before iPhones took over, these phones were the ones! 📱🥺

From Nokia and BlackBerry to Motorola and Samsung, these phones bring back memories of a different era of mobile phones.

Which of these phones did you use back in the day?

For some reasons I hold a very strong grudge against blackberry company. I feel they didn't fight back hard enough to compete against android and iOS. I prefer the black berry everyday to the iphone and Android to be honest but such is life , No king rules forever.

Ever since the ADC presidential candidate Alh Atiku Abubarka hinted on returning sudsidy.

There have been a loud chorus of his return to subsidy by many Nigerians.

Prominent Amongst them is NDC presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi who has promised to return subsidy.

Judging by SDM revelation one can say that the removal of subsidy without building and enabling the right environment and system has put Nigeria in a precarious state.

In the Gambia a litre of fuel in naira is about 1650 naira(103 dalasi).. In Nigeria it is 1500
Gambia has a population of 2.3 million they don't produce crude oil minimum wage is between 6500 to 7000
Bag of cement here is about 400 to 450 which is about 7000 naira for a bag.
In nigeria is is sold for almost 10000 naira.
Using Gambian minimum wage you can buy almost 70 liter of fuel and almost 18 bags of cement. You cannot do the same with your Nigerian minimum wage. Fuel in Nigeria ought to be affordable for even the poorest Nigerian.
In the Gambia electricity went off for 48 hours in some part of the country, youth took to the street and matched to NAWEC office and protested that same day the light was restored and it haVe not gone off for almost three weeks.. Nigeria biggest curse is IMPROVISING and always ADJUSTING..

Many Nigerians don't even know that Chinese have a cement company in Nigeria.

Lafarge cement was acquired by Huaxin Cement Co. Ltd, having purchased 83.81% stake of the company.

Whenever the high price of cement is discussed in Nigeria, most will accuse Dangote for being exploitative. But we have other cement companies in Nigeria, including the one owned by Chinese.

Cheap goods are sometimes associated with Chinese companies. So why isn't this Chinese cement company crashing the price of cement in Nigeria?

In the gambia a bag of cement is sold for 400 dalasi about 7500 in naira , in Nigeria it is almost 10k to 13k ( not sure)
Litre of petrol is sold for 105 dalasi about 1750 to 1800 in naira.in Nigeria it is about 1400 to 1600 naira for an oil producing country.( wickedness)
The Gambia do not manufacture cement
They don't have crude oil either but somehow it is affordable by most Gambians

Hi guys, I'm about to buy an Opel Zafira Car 2002

The idea is to use the car for a transport business outside Lagos (Calabar)

In other not to make the wrong decisions I would appreciate if anyone who knows a thing or 2 about this cat can share some pros and cons of using it for a transport business.

Thank you

In thr north, they will pick opel over a toyota.
In the south a toyota over an opel..

He's right, but still wrong because Hausa spans the Sahara belt and are present in more than 5 African countries.

For the Yorubas, they have kin in Benin republic, Togo, Ghana, Sierra Leone and parts of Mali, Senegal and Cape Verde.

There are more hausa speakers than the hausa tribe.. I hope you know sir

ebubeson:
If they show the most populous city in Nigeria, you may see Kano instead of Lagos. Is Kano more populated than Lagos?

My grandfather always said that the yorubas have the highest population in Nigeria not the hausa or Fulani..

Samantha125:
Did I?😅😅😅... Well, there were two potential guys before my husband, I was after the first one while the second one was after me, but he too was my spec, I mean he was educated, tall, yellow, and handsome with a beautiful smile, perfect for making babies, the type of a man whereby even if he dumps you, you'd be grateful that he at least gave you beautiful babies.

I never got a chance with the first one, all thanks to his mother and even though I also liked the the second one, he was a junior pastor in my friend's chapel and due to some circumstances I was going through at that time, I didn't want to be linked to any pastor or even become a pastor's wife... My friend and I used to take turns in visiting each other's churches and he always looked forward to my visitations because he'd grab the opportunity to get to know me more after the service, apparently he'd also be just staring at me throughout the service, but I eventually stopped visiting... Then there was my husband, who was in a relationship with someone else while pursuing me.

When I was still hustling in Nigeria I owned a POS shop two branches in a busy market I was making about 250k monthly and it got better .. I bought a car and started Bolt driving. I was lucky to find two loyal school cert holders to run my POS shop they made me good money . I had some good savings I asked my then girl friend to marry me. She said she can't introduce me to her parents as a bolt driver and a POS agent(4 years relationship). By then I was earning way over 400k monthly, this was in 2019. . It wasn't long I left the country , got married recently and she's still not married yet ..

KStylist:
I've had about ₦3.9 million before, but that money was saved for a specific purpose. Spending it recklessly would have set my life back by years.
This, however, is different.
For the first time in my 31 years, I' have just made my first ₦1 million that's truly mine, not capital, not borrowed money, not savings set aside for a project, but pure profit accumulated over several months from a small business I've been running.
It feels like a completely different milestone.
How long did it take you to earn your first ₦1 million in actual profit?

Made my first 1 million when I was 26, I was amongst the first set of people to start POS business in duste alhaji market(Abuja) I did that for five years, I bought a land bought a car and saved above 8 million naira before i left the country in 2022..

Toolegit123:
Good evening everyone.

Lately, so I decided it was high time I tried my luck with other ladies since my fiancee broke up with me. I must really confess, it has been hectic after meeting a couple of single ladies.

The first lady, a lady of 27 years was the first one I encountered and she was introduced to me by my cousin. M After texting and chatting on Whatsapp for a week, we decided to finally meet. We booked a date and I paid for her transport. On the day of our date, I noticed she wasn't paying attention to everything I was saying and that really killed the vibes I was expecting from our first date. Funny and awkward thing was that she didn't even spend more than 20 minutes on the date and I was the only one asking all the questions. After she left, I only called her to make sure she got home safely and afterward, I didn't bother to call or text her because that wasn't the kind of relationship I wanted.

Then, what actually buried the whole thing was that, even after everything, I was trying to build up a relationship with her even though I wasn't really feeling the vibes. The question that dug the final grave was--"Since the day I left your place, you haven't sent me any money for food and upkeep".

At first, I kept quiet for a while and then replied her--"haven't you been eating before we met?". That was when hell was let lose. The insults I received on that day from her were so much and annoying that the only way I thought I could pay her back was to block her ASAP.

This lady was someone who had her own hairdressing saloon business and I thought I could build something meaningful with her. But to my greatest surprise, she wasn't different from the hungry, younger ladies out there.

I don't think I will commence on my mission on the dating pool from now on because it seems most of these ladies nowadays are hungry and only looking for men who will bail them out of their poverty

So single guys in the house, has anyone of you had a similar experience with single ladies?

Brother let me give you an advice.
Seems you are doing well for yourself
The next work leave you get, go to benin republic Togo or Cameroon(more preferable they speak English).. they have very very cheap hotels decent guest in for about 5000 naira or even less for a day.
Enjoy the ambience of the country. Meet their women , oga if you don't find your missing rib in any of dis African country ? Calculate all you spent with proof and I will refund you your money for wasting your time..
My wife is from Guinea Bissau , she's highly educated, and she worship the ground that I walk on.. I provide for her and she appreciates every single dalasi I give to her.
She doesn't nag.
Shes family oriented.
Her family treat me like a biological son without me trying to impress them.
Nigerian women will stain your white with their entitlement mentality.
There are still some good ones left , but they don't come in the type of body that you want.
I wish you good luck my guy

This is a video of an agitated woman filming herself and a crowd outside a Baxi building, repeatedly shouting "Baxi is gone" in distress over inaccessible funds and services.

Baxi is a licensed fintech super-agent network owned by Onafriq, providing POS terminals and payment solutions in Nigeria since its acquisition in 2022, not an investment or Ponzi scheme.

Current transfer and withdrawal issues stem from reported technical glitches, triggering widespread user frustration in a country familiar with frequent Ponzi collapses and fintech outages.

Lady lamented as another Ponzi scheme crashed…. Which one be Baxi again abeg😭💔 pic.twitter.com/0d0SBNQH51

— Oyindamola🙄 (@dammiedammie35) June 25, 2026

Baxi isn’t a Ponzi scheme. It’s a legitimate Nigerian fintech company that has been operating for years, known for its POS terminals and services like money transfers, bill payments, and TV subscriptions.

What you’re seeing is likely users reacting to a service disruption,…

About Baxi

Baxi is a prominent digital payment, agent banking, and distribution network in Nigeria (now part of Onafriq). It enables merchants and agents to process transactions, pay bills, and offer financial services to consumers.

Depending on your specific needs, the Baxi platform offers several distinct features and solutions:

Agent Banking & POS: Agents use Baxi POS machines (ranging from ₦10,000 to ₦80,000 depending on the model) to process transactions, transfer money, and earn commissions on local financial services.

Baxi Mobile App: An all-in-one platform for individuals to buy airtime/data, pay utility bills (electricity, TV subscriptions), and send or receive money.

Business Solutions: Provides merchants with payment aggregation, digital product distribution, and cross-border money transfer capabilities.

This same baxi made me my first 5million naira as a POS agent in Nigeria from 2019 to 2022. I was probably amongst the very few agent in dustse alhaji market Abuja before I left the country.. then the POS I was given was like a calculator connected from phone to pos Bluetooth device , it was not a straight forward process but I was patient I bought that shit for 5000 naira then .
Life is funny .

If not for America. If not... that little enclave that contributes nothing to global advancement will be in oblivion.
I trust Iran.

That little enclave is a first world country,
That little enclave pays minimum wage of over 1200 $
That little enclave is having the highest standard of living in the whole of the middle east.
That little enclave is one of the highest producer of grapes and olive .
That little enclave gave me the ten commandments that governs my ideology.
That little enclave you see controls that mighty American empire you see ..
In as much as every country should be have absolute sovereignty, there are some countries you keep a third eyes on.. iran needs nuclear war head because they know for sure that Israel already posses atomic bombs. If not for rules introduced into war play after ww2 , brother they would have pulverized Iran the war they did to Nuremberg before the fall of Berlin.. Brother read books o, if America wanted the Islamic regim to fall badly they would have bombed the hell out of Iran . But they actually wanted Iranian citizens to overthrow their government by themselves with American aids(guns ammunition to the Kurdish rebels)
See politics is not about who won with negotiation, Iran Islamic regim did not change but they lost a lot in trillions of dollars. No victory no vanquish.
f**k america all the same
F**k Israel
F**k Iran

For fu*k sake 10 African countries made it to the world cup and Nigeria ain't even amongst them.

The saddest thing is we have way better players than at least seven countries amongst the 10.

My support goes to Portugal and cape Verde.

Odewaleadesoye:
The Presidency has lashed out at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi.

In a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described Obi as a copy-and-paste politician who cannot compete with Tinubu.

Onanuga claimed that Obi has nothing to showcase as Anambra governor for eight years.

He said, in contrast with Tinubu as Lagos State governor, he left a rail and road masterplan as governor, which is still being executed to this day.

he said.

Bayo Onanuga

Everyday I log into nairaland I must see at least 5 to 10 topics related to Peter Obi.
I am not in Nigeria with you people.
And wuna no be small pikin again , I won't advice grown adults on a credible candidate to vote.
I know all politicians are terrible, but there will always be a lesser evil..

The Marriage Age is deeply affected especially as the economy of Nigeria keeps depreciating, a 40years old man still doesn’t have enough money to start a family! While a 30years old is still starting out life as a 9-5 with a 100k salary

For educational person Only.

How old were you when you got married? And how old was your Spouse?

I'm 32 she's 26.
She's Guinean (Bissau) best decision ever .

Sirchiboy:
Those who are married. Tell those who are not yet married something they need to know before marriage?

First and foremost, the person you are dating currently that meets all your expectations won't be the same person when you finally get married .. if you don't get it leave me be.

ebubeson:
If you do a sample test by bringing 50 different couples, and you interview them with separate questions to know if marriage is for enjoyment or endurance, most if them may give you the idea that marriage is more of endurance than enjoyment.

Marriage is majorly for enjoyment if both couples follow selflessly the God-ordained rule, but several people today do not do so, but are selfish, arrogant etc

Wuna de suffer for Nigeria sha, see how this post is filled with bitter and discouraged people.. sadly alot of you use your Nigerian relationship experience to conclude on how less enjoyable matrimony truly is.
Best thing that ever happened to me was getting married ..
My wife is not a Nigerian..
Infact I have started hooking my friends up with chickens outside Nigeria ad trust me they have started having a change of heart towards matrimony.
Like in 2026 you go see full grown Nigerian man in his late 30s to early 40s no wife no kids and he ain't even bothered.
God go help us .

rickpat:
It maybe worth it at the long run....but honestly if you can get a work visa in a "smaller European country" with low cost of living its far better,even though their minimum wage is low,remember cost of living is still very low...at least you save about 15m from your 21m in your account in case of anything you have funds to fall back to,and lastly you don't owe any 10m debt...

For the UK, like two years would be very very tough for you before you become stable financially

Bros this is the best advice here .
Try and get a work visa to countries in Europe with an average economy. Eg Romania , Poland , Estonia, Latvia , Hungary, you will not earn as much as u ought to earn in the u.k , and you will not spend as much as u ought to spend living in the u.k Romania minimum wage is about 1000euro , for unskilled jobs u earn about ,700 euro it is more when you convert it to the Romania leu.. racism almost doesn't happen over there .. if you don't want to go to eastern Europe , your best bet should be Portugal.. low cost of living , low salary , laid back lifestyle and about 80% of Portuguese citizen speak English . You can process both Romania and Portugal without owning any debt with what you are having currently.

Na statistics we go chop ??
