Omo'lomo. SW is safe for our industrious sons and daughters to come visit and pay homages to whom it is due. Starboy Saka was in Ibadan kicking up dusts on the street. AJ is trotting between Lagos and Ogun without fear of the UGM Kidnappers. Adesanya was in town.
God bless SW
God bless PBAT
God bless Nigeria.

Good afternoon Nairalanders,

Despite the hard economy, I decided to make it a challenge to save some small extra change I see from my side hussle from May 2024 - December 2024.

This is what i was aable to save in my piggy 🐷 bank

1. N500 note (N47,000)
2. N1,000 note (N35,000)

Total is N82,000.

I had to make sure I look for the new note because I don't want to hear stories that the old note have been ban from usage...

Why are we even paying bride price ehnn.. selfish n greedy culture.

Ogeneigbo1:
They have seen him finish maybe because they feel he has no body.That is why a Co inlaw wants to return bride price to another inlaw. They are both inlaws for Christ sake.

Tell him to stop entertaining such discussion from a fellow inlaw.

Let the father of the wife or any elder from the wife's family do his job if they actually want to return the bride price.

These things have procedures like wise implications.

Happy New Year

Bride price is the least of it. What about the goats, cow, palm oil, beer and all the other things they listed that he should buy? Until they return all those things, them never ready

How do humans let one man control and dominate thousands and sometimes millions of them?

These people are only as strong as the power we give them.

I pray all nations that are subjected to tyranny find the courage to rise against their oppressors

I swear on my soul that the day I bet again, let that be my last on earth. I even have the ability to borrow from another app, but I will not do it, never again. Lesson learnt in a very hard way

gaj40393:
Good day everyone, it is with tension and fast heartbeat that I use in writing this as I find myself entangled with the addiction of sports betting and huge dept.
I am a fresh graduate who just finished my NYSC and I am still looking for a job. As I have no job yet, I find it hard to run my day to day activities and settle little bills because I currently have no source of income.

I decided to borrow money from these loan apps and play bet with it, with the hope of paying back after winning, little did I know that was the begging of my tears and tension. I borrowed a sum of 100k first, played a bet with it and lost it. In other to recover that back I borrowed another 200k and also lost it, to recover both back, I borrowed a whole 350k and also lost it, I thank God my limit was up so I couldn't borrow any more, maybe I would have even kept borrowing and playing.
Now I owe a huge sum of almost 800k ( interest included) to pay before 31st of January.

Currently I am in shambles, I have lost everything and have learnt the hard way. I now know that betting wouldn't get you anywhere and it is only meant to ruin lives. I am now in huge dept that I don't even know how to raise that money before that time, I can't even involve my families because it will be a huge disgrace to me.

Please Nairalanders, I welcome any insults you are willing to throw at me, I need advise and opinions on how to go about this, I am in complete breakdown and your advise will go a long way for me.
I also need advise on how I can be able to source for funds and also how I can get a job that will at least get me going. I am an intelligent person that can do lots of task but was just very foolish enough to go the wrong way.
As I said, I welcome your insults, thank you.

Bro, I fear nothing

Controversial social media activist Martin Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan has admitted to in fabricating the story of ₦180 million allegedly missing from his NGO’s account.

According to him, the false story was an experiment to highlight how Nigerians readily believe and spread unverified information on social media.

In a video posted on his Instagram account, VeryDarkMan addressed the backlash and revealed the rationale behind the stunt.

“Alright, since the ₦180 million naira missing from the NGO account, I have been seeing a lot of comments that I never expected,” he said. “But I really want to thank God because everything I have done on this social media, I have done it because this is who I am. I did not do it to seek public validation.”

The activist, known for using his platform to advocate for victims of scams and raise awareness about fraud, expressed frustration over the insults he received. He explained how people vilified him without critical thought.


“I saw all those comments, and I asked myself, what is my offence? All I do on social media is to advocate, help people collect back their money, and create awareness so people won’t be scammed. Most times, I even put my money into these efforts, sometimes borrowing, because I want Nigeria to be a place where people have a voice,” he stated.

“Some people were even insulting my mother, calling her a thief,” he added.


VeryDarkMan condemned how quickly social media users jumped to conclusions without analysing the situation.

He declared, “You know 80% of the people that use social media are stupid, right? This whole thing that happened is a clear opportunity to show you. I deliberately did it to show you people that you are stupid.”


He questioned why no one scrutinised the story. “We are in a country where anything said on social media, nobody bothers to check, nobody bothers to investigate. Everybody starts sharing, they start running away with it. They don’t even waste time to listen; they just want to comment.”


Mocking the way the false narrative spread, he continued, “Boom! They just want to comment: ‘₦180 million is missing, VeryDarkMan is a thief.’ Nobody sat down to analyze, ‘Wait, the VeryDarkMan we know—if ₦180 million is missing from his NGO account, will he be going to Jos instead of Abuja where the police, EFCC, and cybercrime headquarters are located?’ What is he going to do in Jos?”

The activist went further to criticise the culture of misinformation on social media, comparing his fabricated story to other unverified claims.

“The whole media has been spoilt, has been ruined. That’s why one man from Niger came recently and said the French government gave Tinubu money to open a military base in the North East. Nobody sat down to ask, ‘Did this man present any evidence? Did he show a video or proof of the foundation being laid?’ He just said it, and boom, that’s it!”


Reiterating his point, VeryDarkMan declared, “80% of you on social media are very, very stupid.”

The activist’s revelation sparked widespread debate about his approach. While some supported his message about digital literacy, others have criticised his approach as deceptive and manipulative.
