Somebody will ring you up and you will tell the person that you are not feeling fine, you are in the hospital. He or She would be like “Wow! Sorry Ooo! Are you sick?”

You will reply “Yes”
Then he or she will say “Sorry Ooo! You are healed in Jesus Christ Name! Amen! The Devil will not see you in Jesus Christ Name! Amen” After series of long prayers he or she will now say “Baba lease can you borrow me some money”

And you will be like! Are you stupid! I just told you that I am sick, I have gone to see the doctors, I am even on admission, and you still have the guts to ask me for money?!

You reply “Am in the hospital”
They will reply “God will heal you Sir. But Sir you can still make the transfer from your mobile app, it does not take time or energy Sir”

You will be like, maybe this guy did not understand me at all, you will reply “Please I am very tired, we will talk later”

They will reply “Baba please send me the money now! I have an emergency, you are my last hope, please Pastor Emeka” and you will be wondering if you’re not an emergency too! Why calling me Pastor Emeka all of a sudden! Una well done Oooo!
You reply “This your last hope is dying, I don’t have any money for now”
They will reply “God forbid, you will not die in Jesus name! Amen! You will not lack money in Jesus Name! Amen! Baba please send me something now!”

Who has Royal Palms For Sale in Lagos, within the Island? I want to buy

My Mum never hid her own!

My younger brother is dead! A large part of my Mum died with him.

My Elder brother is good! But he cares only about himself.

My Mum never hid her dislike for me, but I am among those taking care of her in her old age!

Now she tells me how much she loves me, but I am not buying it. If I am not taking care of her, she would not be telling me now that she loves me.

We The Black Sheep of our families, will always turn out to be the pillar they will need later in life!

MONEY247:
Don't deceive yourself, every parent has their favorite child. No parents can love the children equally.
Growing up my immediate elder brother was the most favorite....
If my dad was to share us offering money for church, my immediate elder brother gets the biggest amount...
It was clear that the love was unequal, but we lived through it, and it never divided us as a family.

Any parent saying they love their children equally is probably lying.

Congratulations! More Victories! Amen!

Getting rich vs staying rich: which is tougher?

My Mum wasn't religious, but she showed my shege banza

Thephilosopher1:
Absolutely sir. I can relate to the op's experience. I suffered similar issue in the hands of my over religious mother. Religious women are innocently evil, with the right intention they do the wrong things, and unfortunately, life does not regard intention, it gives you results based on the action you perform. I just forgave her because she was ignorant. If she knew better she would have acted better. Religion makes people especially women unconscious, senseless and stupid.
We need a global revolution of sense, we need meditation, we need spirituality.

I feel your pains.
Similar thing I went through.
Some mothers are evil especially religious mum.
People that don't have religious mum don't know What God had done in their life.

1st you were not born with yellow teeth! Nobody is born with a yellow teeth! Even if you were born with yellow teeth, they would have fallen as you got older.

Obviously you were given a medication that stained your teeth! It happened to a lot of kids when we were growing up.

2ndly at 40, you should have out grown your low self esteem

At 40, it is no longer your mother's fault, it is your fault now


Pick up yourself and do better

Mrdealer4all:
I am 40 years old and I could still recall my childhood memories.
My mum is the cause of my problem right from day one.
She subjected me to severe pains as a child.
Here is my story
I was born with yellow colour teeth and this really made me an introvert.
It was through her I knew I was born with yellow teeth.
Each time I talk and make mistake in family gathering as a child .
She will mock me and tell me yellow teeth .
My teeth is smelling and so.
That very talk tormeted my life and made me loose interest in life.
Because of that, I grew up as a child not talking with people for fear of being called decayed teeth or my teeth is smelling.
This lowered my self confidence.
Evan in my primary and my secondary school days.
I stay alone.
I don't mingle with people because of the fear of being called yellow teeth or my teeth is smelling.
My life was marred by lack of self confidence because of she gave birth to me and decided to make my life miserable.
Calling yellow teeth and smelling mouth.
I can never forgive this woman.
She made my childhood miserable which affected my life.
I could remember how she use to call and shower praises on our neigbours kids , pretty , handsome , fine Charley and names that build kids confidence.
But when it comes to her own kids, it was negative praises , yellow teeth , smelling mouth.

I thought I was a gentle man, but you surpass me by far!

My ex saw my meekness as weakness!

This lady would have been beating if not that I am a giant!

But the day she raise an object to hit me, I took the wood, pinned her hand down and gave it a big scar, that whenever she sees that scar, she will remember never to raise a weapon at a man.

Finally, I became wealthy after she left!

3) No ( child) issue yet we courted for five years and the marry is one year and 8 months. (We share a lot together). I pray your finances balloon as mine did, after she left

guest1234:
1) My family is taking it as a pain upon themselves because they know that she is taking my weakness as a strength to her because I don't talk or beat her, she has started misbehaving. This said ladies has slapped me over hundred times this year without me retaliate.
2) I started having the thought of divorce when she started misbehaving and hitting me and today when she stab me is what broke the camel back

But Abacha overthrew him in a coup!

The only reason why coup will no longer be successful in Nigeria is because of GSM.

Everybody now has a phone!

Technology has improved a lot!

That is the only reason, it would no longer be successful!

Toruibestate:
I once asked a recently retired Major General in Nigeria Army why coups no longer happen easily in Nigeria. He explained that things changed drastically after the attempted coup that nearly claimed the life of former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida.


According to him, the military intelligence system was completely overhauled after that incident. It became so advanced, sophisticated, and deeply embedded across all security units that planning or executing a coup today is almost impossible without being detected early.


That’s why, since that time, Nigeria hasn’t witnessed a single successful coup.

Sorry Dear! The LORD is your strength!

AngelSlay:
People aren’t really ready to hear the truth about working in hospitality. On the surface, it may look like a regular job — serving food, smiling at guests, and clocking in and out. But behind that smile is a person who’s often physically exhausted, mentally drained, and emotionally worn out.

Growing up, I was vibrant, outspoken, full of life. But working in hospitality stripped a lot of that away from me. You constantly have to dim your light, lower your voice, and reduce yourself just to make others comfortable — just to please customers who often don’t see the human behind the service. And it's not just the guests — the management can be even worse. They push you, frustrate you, and you're left with no choice but to accept whatever is thrown at you because the fear of losing your job is always looming.

Yes, you may be making money — but what’s money when you don’t even have the time or energy to enjoy it? You're lucky if you get one full day off a week. Even on your "off" days, all you want to do is sleep and recover, because shifts are long, draining, and demanding. Standing for hours, dealing with rude guests, running up and down — it takes a toll on your body. No matter how well you eat before a shift, exhaustion catches up. Sometimes, you end up eating scraps or leftovers from tables just to make it through.

And let’s not forget the environment — working late nights, inhaling second-hand smoke from customers, dealing with drunken behavior, and trying to stay professional in the middle of chaos. Over time, it chips away at your self-worth and your health.

I could go on and on about my experience in this industry. The nightlife and hospitality scene might look glamorous from the outside, but if you value your mental and physical well-being, it's not a place to stay for too long. It teaches you resilience, yes — but it can also break you in ways people don’t see.

I am confused here! You are getting married, so that your wife will keep your parents company or what?

You need to employ a help for your parent! We all did that for our own parents.


Or as you getting married, so you can move in with your parents or that they will move in with you?


Please don't marry for the wrong reason and put the young girl under unnecessary pressure.


GOD bless your parents! Amen!

greatiyk4u:
Why I got married

Growing up, I watched my parents work tirelessly to provide for our family. They were always there for me and my three other younger siblings, sacrificing their own happiness for our well-being. As I grew older, I realized that their dedication to our family had come at a cost - they were lonely, and their lives revolved around me as the first son and the only son around in Nigeria.

After my graduation from the university, I relocated to the city and started business ventures while leaving behind my two brothers in the university but they relocated to Europe immediately after their NYSC, I would often visit home and find my parents sitting alone in the evenings, with no one to share their thoughts or experiences with. My father's eyes would light up when I walked in, and my mother's face would break into a warm smile. But beneath the surface, I saw the loneliness and helplessness because they were left alone with our last born and the only daughter we have who was going to school from home.

The scenario that broke the Carmel back was after my sister was posted to far away ADAMAWA state for her Youth service and my dear parents were left all alone to help themselves, they are retirees with Dad a retired principal in a secondary school and mom a retired LGA staff....One Saturday, I visited home unannounced and met the two of my parents lying down helpless with none of them strong enough to even bring out food from the refrigerator to microwave and eat, no strength to even wake up to plug in their phones to charge even when there was electricity supply because they were sick and weak.... immediately they saw me, they rejoiced as if a Messiah had befallen them, my dad told me they had not eaten anything since the previous day because they had no helper and the first thing I should do was to hurry up and warm soup and make Eba for them to start with.

I quickly dropped my luggages and rushed to do as they requested and sooner than later their joy was resoundly restored , we spent all night gisting and merrying that i couldnt hang out with my home boys who were eagerly waiting to have some bottles and cups of palm wine with bush meat on me.

On getting back to the city I realized that I needed as a matter of urgency to give them the joy and companionship they deserved. I needed to bring someone into my life who would care for them as their own parents. I began to appreciate the importance of family and the value of having someone to share life's moments with.

I made up my mind to marry my girlfriend that I dated from the university because I knew she would be my partner, and together, we could give my parents the happiness and companionship they deserved. I wanted to repay their selflessness and sacrifice by giving them a sense of security and joy in their later years.

Marrying her wasn't just about us; it was about building a life together that would bring happiness to my parents. I'm grateful to have found someone who shares my values and loves my family as much as I do.

Thank You Very Much! I Appreciate!

Gëègpáy, Grey etc. Just search for virtual dollar cards in nigeria and see other options

Please inform me now! I don't want to make the same mistake again!

Unseen:
That policy did not stop anybody from renewing his domain subscription because there are a lot of other services offering Dollar cards.
It's you that was not properly informed

This is a product of useless Nigerian Government & Banking Policies!

When foolish people run a country, this is what happen!

I lost a domain name, this year, because I could renew the subscription due to the limitations of Nigeria Banking system. When it was finally lifted some months ago after 3 years of embargo, I discovered somebody else has bought it.

CloudMita:
Recently, one of Nigeria’s most popular movie download websites — Nkiri,com — went offline after its domain expired. The story took a shocking turn when the domain was quickly picked up by another buyer.

Rumors circulating in the tech space suggest that the original Nkiri team has allegedly offered over ₦16 million to recover the domain name — yet the new owner reportedly refused to sell.
That’s how powerful a domain name can be.

How Much Did Nkiri Lose?

Before the expiration, Nkiri,com reportedly attracted over 4 million page views daily from users searching for Nollywood, Hollywood, and Korean movies.

Now, let’s do a simple calculation:

4,000,000 daily views × $0.5 CPM = $2,000/day

That’s over $60,000 (₦90 million) every month — purely from ads.

Losing that kind of traffic overnight means not just loss of income but the collapse of a digital identity built over years of effort, backlinks, SEO, and user trust.
The Harsh Truth About Domain Negligence

A domain name is not just a web address — it’s your digital real estate.
When you fail to renew it on time, it’s like leaving your house unlocked in the middle of the night. Someone else can simply walk in and take over everything you’ve built.

Once it’s gone:

Your visitors land on someone else’s content.

Your SEO authority transfers to another site.

Your brand’s online credibility vanishes.

You lose revenue instantly — sometimes forever.

A Wake-Up Call for Business Owners

If your business, blog, or brand depends on a website, always monitor your domain renewal date.
Enable auto-renewal and ensure your payment details are up to date.

Also, maintain a good relationship with your webmaster or developer.
Many business owners assume “the web guy will handle it,” only to wake up one day and realize the site is gone. Regular communication can prevent that.

For Nkiri Fans

If you’re a fan who used Nkiri,com for your favorite movies, it’s time to find safe and reliable alternatives.

Some platforms to check out include:

Moviemata. (search Google)

9jarocks (search Google)

These sites continue to provide access to trending Nigerian and international movies.

Nkiri’s story should be a lesson to every website owner — from small business owners to big media platforms.
Your domain name is your digital identity, your traffic hub, and your brand anchor.

Neglecting it can cost you more than money — it can erase your entire online existence.

So, the next time that renewal reminder email lands in your inbox… don’t ignore it.

To Whom it may concern:
I am not a millionaire! Neither am I a rich man!
Election has its consequences! If you see me posting Mr. Peter Obi upanda, is because I want a better Nigeria, where nobody begs for the least of things!
Another election is coming in less than 16 months, if you like keeping saying “My vote will not count! I will not waste my energy casting my vote” but you will not let people like us that campaign, invest our little resources in making sure the right people get into office and finally cast our votes, rest with you ceaseless calls for financial help.
Mr. Peter Obi does not even know I exist! When he wins, I will not get any personal favors from him! But every Nigeria will “drink water and keep his or her cup!” We will sleep with our eyes closed and we will not beg to eat.
Today alone I have gotten 5 different financial requests! The more I tell them I don’t have, is the more they keep ringing up my line. Even some strangers have joined the blackmail bandwagon, trying to emotionally blackmail me with Church. I wonder where they always get my number from.
Where una wan make I find this money give una!
It is beginning to piss me off! It now looks like A SET UP!
Somebody said to me the other day “Life no be like this Oooo! Nobody know tomorrow! As you dey chop today, tomorrow fit be my turn! Life na turn by turn” simply because I said I don’t have money to give.
Do you people think I am insulated from all the hardship in Nigeria because I have pot belly?
Once I make my millions I will leave Lagos, Lagos is where we hustle for our seed-capital!
One idiot blocked me on all social media, because he asked me to make the transfer from a hospital bed and I said no, he got annoyed and blocked me!
Una get mind Ooo! Person wey dey on admission for hospital, una still dey ask for money, no be wickedness plus witchcraft be that!
Shebi! No be me suppose block the fool?! But the idiot blocked me in anger, onto money wey e dey beg me! I never see this entitlement mentality!
If I have and I don’t give, that will be another thing!
But I don’t have and I hate to beg too
See as my heart dey palpitate as I dey write this piece!
When una ready we go Nepal for Nigeria! Till then I am just a young man who is still trusting GOD for that big breakthrough!
Make I lay down and close my eyes! If I stand up I fit faint!

If you buy it for him, I will be very very grateful!

The phone cost is slightly about 100k

My Dad is 85 years old, he was a very active man, until he had an accident that now confine in within our house, he plays a lot of games with his old handset, always sends prayers to us!

Once in a while send pictures to us.

His old phone is spoilt and can not be repaired again

Please which handset should I buy for him, that will not attract attention to him in public, that will be strong and durable, that will not have a screen issues when it falls from his hands?

Thank You!

My mum was mean to me while I was growing up, many times I asked if she's truly my mum, if not for our resemblance, I would think I was adopted.

I have forgiven her and I am up mobile now!

She now calls to say "I love you"

She even get jealous I call my Dad more.

My older siblings wanted to tell me all the negative things my mum told them in the past about me, but I told them, I am not interested. I believe our children will treat us the way we treat our parents and I want a loving home, so I forgave her and move on


Running down her phone batteries with credit alerts and I hardly pick up the phone when she wants to call to pray for me and say "Thank You"

Ayomide11111:
My childhood experiences were tough and wicked with my parents. Despite my calmness and meekness my "dad" did says I'm a mistake. He did says he doubts his paternity over me ... I'm still inside the trauma currently in my 30s ... I fled from home after I came home from school (polytechnic program) and just to heard him vowed for himself that when I'm done with my polytechnic program he's gonna show me shéégé. ..... I looked up and down and I asked myself if I have been a wayward or disobedient child to this man in a life before this.... I didn't see love. I envy children who talk about their parents with a good and loving energy

Glowqueen3:
What about you not bathing for one week ehn
Am very sure it possible for you to run mad because if it is headache for a day then it is typhoid for two days and then madness for a week,You might even kpai.
On a more serious note, take your bath seriously 😂 my brother.

A little smell from the body oil around the neck! I might not take a full bath, but I must let the shower run over my head!

AngelSlay:
🧠 1. Psychosomatic Response (Mind-Body Connection)
If you've developed a strong mental association between bathing and feeling clean or well, your body might respond negatively when you skip it. The fever might be a stress response from your subconscious triggering inflammation or increased body temperature.

Some people develop real physical symptoms (like fever, stomach ache, or headaches) due to routine disruption, anxiety, or OCD-related habits.

2. Underlying Skin or Immune Condition
If you sweat heavily or have sensitive skin, skipping a bath could allow bacteria or fungi to overgrow, especially in humid environments. This could trigger a mild immune response that manifests as a fever.

Do you notice any itching, rashes, or body odor when it happens?

3. Dust, Sweat, or Allergens
If you go to bed without bathing, you're taking in sweat, dust, or environmental allergens from the day into your bed. This can trigger inflammatory responses while you sleep — possibly mistaken for or leading to a fever.

What You Can Do:

Track your symptoms: Log when this happens. Include weather, stress levels, meals, sleep, and how you felt mentally.

See a doctor: Especially if your fever is 38.5°C (101.3°F) or higher. Rule out hidden infections, autoimmune issues, or allergies.

Try wiping down with warm water and mild soap even if you can’t shower — see if that prevents the fever.

LAZYING ABOUT THE WHOLE DAY INDOORS

Prettychild:
How can you skip bathing?

Growing up, we eat Iron bean in the East and it is easy to cook and very sweet, unfortunately, I don't get to see it anymore. The one they sell as Iron Bean, is not the one I grew up eat!

Fiofio is a kind of bean cooked outside the house with embers of firewood over night, very sweet and filling, but take 24 hours to cook.


I soaked bean one day as a bachelor, the bean did not get done and all my friends laughed at me that day
