How do I show Gratitude to God in the Year 2026?

love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Cashylyxcompute:
Coputa, is praying not working smartly ?

No, you need to work physically to earn income for you to be able to live comfortably.Prayer,is to ask for divine help from God to succeed in your endeavors.

God always meet great men in their working place and bless them as God doesn't work with a lazy person

HacheNoire:
The youths should be arrested and prosecuted.

Vandalism is not part of politics and will never be condoned.

The police should swiftly arrest the youths and get them locked up behind bars, pending prosecution.

Vandalism is part of politics,do you live in the moon.

Hmmmmm...

And some Nairaland ronu-scavengers will disturbing the forum with 'On Your Mandate ' Noise.

So even EDO hates Tinubu like this? Maybe it's because of the disrespectful showing of the Iyaloja TINUBU that wanted to insult the Throne of the OBA of Benin.

Anyway..2027 is not far ...

Those dudes mentioned above are data boys, they are only working for their money (pay per post)

Praying for a change in my life

My Heavenly Father, Lord, "Help me trust You no matter what," and "Show me what You want me to do and where You want me to go".
"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".
"I pray for transformation in my life. Please guide me through the changes I need to make and give me the strength and courage to embrace Your will for my future".


Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".


Isaiah 43:19: "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?".

For a change to come into your life, it's not just about prayer but you have to work,and work smartly by paying the price of growth and changes in your life.

You are sounding like a nonentity, let's talk on impact of the life of people on nairaland, have you coughed out personal money to anyone on nairaland to start up which I have done,have you impacted on the vulnerable on nairaland which I have done several times.
Look into the mirror and point one person on nairaland you have uplifted.
This will be my last reply to you.
Shalom.

Stop telling lies, you're only known in nairaland as the sporty bet guy who gives out football predictions, nothing more, that's only what you have to offer,you cannot give what you don't have.

I want ta advice you for the umpteenth time "STOP GAMBLING AND SPORT BETTING"

I have never heard of a member of a team giving gifts to his teammates.If he has so much funds,he shouldn't be playing active soccer,he would have since retired and go into business.

I think , he's just vibing and hyping the super eagles

guobe:
And also go and work on your bios on AI search engines as you are relatively unknown and even Meta AI is mistaken you to be the topic of discussion on the computer section in nairaland forum.

Is that so,I am not aware of this.copua and computer are not the same and I am not in nairaland to be known but over the years I have impacted positively on people's lives here.

So stop being a nuisance here by encouraging people to go into gambling and betting, something your know is Don't deviate from the topic of discussion. I suspect I am discussing with a toddler

TallNigerian:
That's good. But still work on your temperament. Anger kills wisdom.

Wishing us all the best in the Semi finals

The Good the bad and the ugly,

Superstars are hardly without fault and Osimhen ain't different,

Kudos to the All time Greatest goalscorer.

Victor is greater Kanu, Okocha and Rashid Yekini

There is always the emergence of great football stars in Nigeria every century,and their impact and performance is always greater than the former.

guobe:
Coming from someone whose life has not even started yet and no headway of when it will start.
If you have one tenth of the life I have come talk to me.

You cannot have a life and still be engrossed in gambling and betting, you're already frustrated and your motive is to spread it here.You will not succeed because I will surely expose you,even if you change your Monika.I repeat,this year is still fresh,stop betting and get a life, online billionaire 😂🤣🤣

This is very encouraging coming from a Nigeria billionaire to further motivate the boys.KUDOS

Richtaiwo:
Contrary to the drama he’s trying to stage, nothing, absolutely nothing, is easy anywhere in the world. Life is not a roadside promo where currencies are exchanged with vibes and confidence.

So, since he’s proudly waving that bundle of naira and announcing it equals 800 cedis, perhaps he should also enlighten us, how long did it take him to earn it? Or is he implying that the same sweat that coughs out N800 in Nigeria will magically summon 800 cedis in Ghana?

Yes, a thousand dollars today is roughly N1.5 million. Very impressive. But let’s not insult basic reasoning, is the effort required to earn N1,000 the same effort needed to earn $1,000? Is it equally likely that someone will casually gift you N1,000 the same way an American will casually gift you $1,000? If that were true, birthdays in Lagos would look like Wall Street bonuses.

We constantly hear of people earning $2,500–$3,000 monthly abroad. Fair enough. But has anyone ever heard of someone in US, same job category, same skill level as Nigeria, earning $300,000 monthly in the US? If yes, please provide evidence, not vibes.

Yes, the naira is weak. Nobody is disputing that. But turning every exchange rate comparison into a circus act is unnecessary exaggeration. Currency value is not a comedy skit, and economics is not impressed by social media mockery. Let’s tone down the theatrics and apply a little sense, just a little.

Meanwhile, Ghana redominated its currency not quite long ago. I know most don't even understand what that means.

Your theory is defective and erroneous.This is akin to a beer palour economics

Makavelli001:
You are 💯 Accurate .
I personally have learn alot from nairaland compare to x, fb, etc

Nairaland is a school,you cannot actively be in nairalander for two years and remain the same.You will be transformed to an intellectual egg head.Kudos to Seun

You made a very good observation about x,Nairaland is the biggest forum in Africa harbouring the best brains in the continent.

Why do we have different laws for the North and different state laws in the same one Nigeria?

Let's clear this confusion in a simple way!

Those that offered Government as a subject in secondary school and still remember what was taught then, will get it easily.

If you were in Art class in secondary school, you will understand Federalism.

Federalism is a system of government where there is division of power between the federal government and state government.

This means that the federal government can make laws that will apply all over the federation while states can make laws that apply to their specific states.

📍The Constitution determines the kinds of matters that only the federal government can make laws on.

📍The Constitution determines the kinds of matters that only the states can make laws on.

📍The Constitution also determine the kinds of matters both federal and state government can equally make laws on.

Nigeria as a country operates a federal system of government that allows each state of the federation to make laws that are suitable for each state based on cultural and religious beliefs and in line with their constitutional powers.

The North usually operate a different law because it's dominated by Muslims and the provisions of Quran apply there. Therefore, laws are made differently for the North so it can align with Islamic law.

This is also because the right to religion is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution so laws cannot be made to go against their religious beliefs.

The other parts of Nigeria are dominated by Christians and traditional worshippers so the applicable laws are always a replica of what the faith allows and the influence of colonial laws in those regions.

The colonial masters made laws that the other parts of Nigeria accepted and continued with, till date.

The North rejected some of the provisions of colonial laws because it conflicted with their religious beliefs and goes against Islam.

Hope you now understand why we have different laws in Nigeria?

Magnoliaa:
Lol... this is quite an interesting individualistic take.

Rather, it's an altruistic disposition

Fubara wield enormous power as the gov of River State.... Sitting on over N600 billion amassed by the sole Administrator appointed by Tinubu.... There are less than 2 states in Nigeria that can boast of that....

The perpetual wailers once claimed that Tinubu sent the sole Administrator to loot Rivers wealth...Alas the man left hundreds of billions of Naira these chronic wailers will loot to the last Kobo....

Betrayal in politics is very common but it doesn't make it right....

We saw Udom betray Akpabio.....

Okowa betray ibori....

Obaseki betray Oshiomole....

Some of my fellow Batists are already celebrating the imminent betrayal of Kwakwanso by Abba Yusuf....

Betrayal can't be good in Kano and bad in Rivers...

Even Wike Betrayed Amaechi, .....

He betrayed The Odilis whom he personally claimed made him a " Supreme court gov "....

My problem with Fubara is that he is neither here or there....

Today he will challenge his chi to a fight....

Tomorrow he will bow to worship the same Chi Wike....

He has enough financial war chest to defeat his chi..... But he doesn't know how to deploy it....

Deploy this financial war chest to monumental projects across River State and live the people to fight for him.....

With all the monies... He is not among the top 20 working govs in Nigeria..... Yet he keeps breaking the laws and expecting the people to fight for him...

Oshiomole, Ladoja, Obi all defeated a house of Assembly dominated by the opposition....

An opposition house of Assembly is not created to impeached the executive.... They are created to put the executive on their toes.....

They are created to ensure every single Kobo the executive spend is for the benefit of the people and are not stolen....

Govs like Fubara fear them because they have ulterior motives to divert these monies to personal use...

If you are dining with the devil.... Use a very long spoon.....

Those who advice Fubara to destroy the house of Assembly cost him the six months suspension....

Those who advice him not to present the 2026 budget to the house of Assembly before spending from January 1st till date..... Will earn him complete removal from office....

In a democracy no leader can spend one Kobo without approval from the legislature....

They are our collective eyes to our common wealth....

If Mallameat could steal N250 billion...it was because the legislature went to sleep or they were part of the looters..

Fubara survival in office depends on being on the side of the law at all time....

This time he has strayed.... Only another political solution can save him..... That is if he actually have nine lives....

This is the reason the Urhobos will always say....

It is better to born a thief than to born a mumu - Urhobo Proverb....

Proverbs are not for kids....

Reno omokri has a highly shifting character.He has lost political value in Nigeria as no serious political group and the electorates will ever take him seriously

They are bombing terrorists in the forest,others are operating in communities and highways.

America has done their parts,but the incompetent government in Nigeria is not following up

SPOTTED: Presidential aide shares AI-generated image of ‘Tinubu meeting Kagame’ in Paris


The viral images of President Bola Tinubu meeting with Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s president, were generated through artificial intelligence (AI).

Tinubu was reported to have met with Kagame on Sunday in Paris, France.

The Grok watermark could be seen in pictures of the meeting shared on Tinubu’s page on X on Sunday.

However, the reason for using an AI-generated image to depict the meeting remains unclear.


Grok is a generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk’s company. It’s used for real-time search, generating images, and other functions.


“This afternoon, I had a private lunch with H. E. President Paul Kagame of Rwanda to discuss the current state of world affairs and advancing Africa in an ever-changing global landscape,” the president wrote on X.

— Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) January 4, 2026

Dada Olusegun, special assistant on new media to the president, also shared the same image.

Some netizens have criticised the presidential aide for sharing AI-generated images.

“Mr Dada Olusegun why are you using grok to generate a picture of was supposed to have happened? Is it incompetence or you are trying to tell us something,” a X user asked Olusegun.

SIGNS HAVE BEEN SHOWING

How old are you, it's living creatures including humans that ends and not the world.

It has been in existence for millions of years

Your neighbour accuses you of a crime.
Instead of calling the police or going to court, he breaks into your house at night, b€at$ you, arrests you, and drags you away because he is stronger.
Would you call that Justice or V!0|€nce?
That’s the question the world must now ask.

What does the Law say?
After World War II, countries came together and agreed on one thing:
“No country should behave like a bv||y again,” writing the UN Charter… with one rule at the centre of it all:
“No country has the right to attack another country or interfere with its leadership.”📍📌📌📌

Except in only two situations:
1. If that country is defending itself from an attack.
2. If the UN gives permission.
That’s the law, or should I say “World Law,” and not American law.

Now ask:
Did Venezuela attack the United States?
Did the United Nations approve an arrest or invasion?
If “No,” then under whose law did this happen?

“But Drugs… But T€rr0r!$m…”
This is where confusion is being sold to the public…
Yes, the U.S. accuses Maduro of drug trafficking… but they don’t tell you:
One country can’t arrest the president of another country just because it accused him.

If that were allowed, then:
China 🇨🇳 could arrest African presidents.
Russia 🇷🇺 could arrest European leaders.
Strong countries would hunt weak ones like animals. Except… that won’t be the “Law” but “Jungle Justice.”

So… Why Venezuela?
Venezuela isn’t poor because it has no resources, but poor despite having the largest oil reserves in the world.

History’s taught that countries with “Oil” but no “obedience” suffer sanctions. And Sanctions create hunger.
Hunger becomes proof that the country “failed”. And that Failure becomes an excuse for intervention.

First, they weaken you, then they blame you for being weak. Interesting, isn’t it?
God punish politics oo.

Now, Nigerians should be very careful as I can see many clapping for Trump. You think power is protection, but “power” is a gr€€dy b@$t@rd with no friends, except for “interests” only.👌

Today it’s Venezuela.
Yesterday it was Libya.
Before that, it was Iraq.
And in Africa, t€rr0r!$m, formerly “communal clashes,” is stylishly renamed “religious conflict” so nobody asks “who benefits.”

If arresting a president without global consent becomes normal, then sovereignty is a fat joke.
Guess what It’s the small countries that always pay first.

If America can decide who is a “criminal president” today… who then decides it tomorrow?
If “Law” bows to “power,” what exactly is left to protect Africa?

Dey play Nigeria police do all this more than what you write sef

They do because many Nigerians don't know their rights,if the police know that you know your rights,they will avoid you

When news broke that Anthony Joshua, a former world boxing champion, was involved in a crash on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, many things went through my head simultaneously. Was he driving? Was he speeding? Did a trailer ram into his car? Was he trying to avoid a pothole? My head was spinning. The initial stories were confusing. When I went on social media, some said his car rammed into a trailer parked in the middle of the road. Some blamed “bad roads” and celebrated that Nigeria had finally “happened” to Joshua. The naysayers rejoiced probably not because they hated him but they saw the tragedy as another golden opportunity to promote their “Nigeria is finished” campaign.

As the details began to emerge hours later, the picture became clearer, if not completely clear. A trailer was parked by the road side on the three-lane road, not in the middle of it. The Lexus SUV in which Joshua and his close friends, Sani Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, were riding collided with the trailer. But what went wrong? Did the car have a tyre blow-out? Did the brake fail? Was the driver trying to overtake a vehicle on the wrong side and suddenly saw the parked trailer? Was he driving under the influence (DUI)? Was he sleeping on the wheel? One thing I suspect seriously is that the car was speeding above the limit. The image of the wreckage offers significant insight into this.

The official reaction to the tragedy has been swift — the driver, Adeniyi Mobolaji Kayode, has been charged to court by the police on four counts: dangerous driving causing death, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care and attention, and driving without a valid driver’s licence. Kayode was granted bail for N5 million. The punishment, if found guilty, is life imprisonment for manslaughter. This sort of criminal trial is not uncommon when drivers cause deaths, but this is a high-profile case and that is why it is in the news. The driver’s son claims it was brake failure that caused the crash, although we will be forced to wonder how he came to that finding on his own.

The Joshua crash is not your typical story of how dangerous Nigerian roads can be. From all indications, the driver has a lot of questions to answer on this one. The conventional story would be for a driver to ram into a stationary heavy-duty truck in the middle of the road. Only God knows how many Nigerians have been killed in this manner. Too many to count. A famous one was in 1991 when Chief Ben Osi Umunna, a UK-based Nigerian philanthropist and businessman who was on the boards of Rangers International Football Club of Enugu and Queens Park Rangers of London, rammed into a trailer on Enugu-Onitsha road. He died instantly. These tragic things happen from time to time.

May I also add that accidents happen everywhere in the world, so I am not suggesting that these tragic events are peculiar to us. Just last year, Liverpool player, Diogo “Jota” Silva, and his brother, Andre, died instantly in a car crash in Zamora, Spain, while apparently speeding. José Antonio Reyes, the Spanish footballer who played for Arsenal of England and Sevilla of Spain, died along with his cousin, Jonathan, in a car accident in 2019. Paul Walker, known for playing Brian O’Conner in the Fast & Furious franchise, died in a car crash along with his friend, Roger Rodas, in Los Angeles in 2013. The fact is that tragic accidents happen every day all over the world, and famous people are not immune.

While Nigeria may not have the world’s worst statistics in terms of road accident fatalities, the Joshua crash raises a number of questions both directly and indirectly — and we can only hope that policy makers will pay close attention and learn something from the tragedy. When I saw the videos of the rescue operations by concerned passers-by, the first thing that came to mind was the lack of basic understanding of first aid for victims in emergencies. Joshua did not seem to be bleeding externally, but he could have been bleeding internally. That is a more serious situation. But the way he was handled could have worsened the situation. Moreover, he was kept at the scene for far too long.


That again raises the question of our response to emergencies. I am not blaming the public-spirited individuals who instantly came to their rescue. That is what we are as Nigerians — emergencies bring out the humanity in us. We naturally want to help disaster victims, even though miscreants will be busy trying to steal any valuables they can find at the scene. That is not too strange in a society with sharp divides in quality of life, where poverty has damaged the brains of millions. And for those who genuinely want to help, the constraint is usually that hospitals may turn down the victims, either for fear of police trouble or because of who will pay the bills if the victims die. These are real challenges.

But my point here is that even for those who want to help, how much understanding do they have about first aid for victims? This, I think, is an important training citizens need to receive. I need the training myself. It could help save someone’s life someday. Before the arrival of emergency services, citizens should be able to provide some basic, appropriate support to accident victims. This may not apply in the Joshua situation since it appeared his friends died instantly. But it could help in other situations that are bound to occur at other times. We must begin to consider first aid treatment training for individuals, specially those who are likely to encounter emergencies in their line of duty.


On federal highways, the first responders are supposed to be the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). I am not too sure how quickly they got to the scene since they are often on patrol. I also don’t know how well equipped their ambulances and personnel are to handle situations of this nature. However, the video I saw showed Joshua at the back of a patrol vehicle and there was so much delay in ferrying him to a hospital for treatment. Anything could have happened. The FRSC later issued a statement saying they responded promptly. In any case, were they alerted on time? Do citizens even have or know how to use the hotlines for emergencies? That is another challenge we must address.

When President Ibrahim Babangida set up the FRSC in 1988 under the leadership of Prof Wole Soyinka, it started out very well, particularly in speed management. I recall that they used to have hand-held speed radars and regularly arrested motorists for speeding. I am not aware if they still use radars. It is time for the federal and state governments to enforce speed controls. My theory has always been that most fatal accidents are caused by speeding — which makes it difficult to brake effectively when facing danger. If speed is modest, most accidents will not result in loss of lives, in my opinion. We must modernise and engage with technology in this age and time. We are far behind.

We must also talk about these trailers. In this particular incident though, it is not established that the trailer was at fault. It was parked by the road side. I doubt we have hard shoulders on the highways where faulty vehicles are parked for safety, and I do not know yet if this trailer broke down or not. I do not know how long it had been parked there. But, generally, I have serious problems with drivers of heavy-duty vehicles in Nigeria. They need a total re-orientation on driving and parking. They often drive on the wrong lane, abandon their trucks in the middle of the road in the event of breakdowns, and often bully other motorists because of the size advantage. This requires regulatory attention.


While I was thankful that Joshua survived the crash, I was overwhelmed with sadness on learning that his friends died. From what I heard, they were sitting on the right side of the car while Joshua was on the left, behind the driver. That was what saved him. While Joshua himself would be grateful that he is alive, he may nurture the trauma for a while. Seeing your closest friends and associates crushed to death is a traumatic picture that can haunt anyone for life. Joshua may be struck by the survivor’s guilt — that intense distress from surviving a horrific event where others died, making one feel undeserving of life. Survivor’s guilt can come with depression, anxiety, flashbacks, anger, etc.

It is also sad that this would happen to a guy like Joshua, who — though British — is very proud of his Nigerian heritage and celebrates Nigeria around the world. He is like our ambassador. He never says anything bad about Nigeria under the guise of “speaking the truth”. He visits the country quite regularly without any incidents. If not for the crash, nobody would have known he was in the country, except those in his circle. For such a decent and loveable chap to experience this tragedy on a visit to his beloved roots is so heartbreaking. And the naysayers are having a ball. We can only hope that this tragedy will not discourage other global icons with Nigerian roots from visiting home.

I extend my condolences to the families of the dead. May they be comforted in this hour of sorrow and pain. May Joshua heal physically and mentally and find a way of immortalising his departed mates. It is not going to be easy, but he must now face life with all the courage left in him. I also want to celebrate the people who came to the aid of the victims and extracted them from the wreckage. We judge Nigerians as bad based on the behaviour of a few, but we see the good side from time to time. Finally, I appeal to the government at all levels to make response to accidents and emergencies a core focus of governance. Efforts should be invested in improving speed and quality of response.
