Anything you see on the road you will pick. In 2026?
Goo0dHardDick: I invited a girl I met on the road to come over and she came. She's not as pretty as I thought afterall. Her body odour almost killed me as I sat very far away from her in my house (she claimed she was coming directly from her sister's house where she helped her with washing her baby's clothes and house chores)
Also, there were lots of injuries all over her body (she said she had accident 2 weeks ago as the injuries were almost still fresh)
Thirdly, she appears sick as she was constantly coughing. I needed to order her to leave as I was becoming extremely uncomfortable with her presence. I was becoming irritated.
She left and said she was coming back with some clothes she'll wear to go to work tomorrow morning because She'll be sleeping over at my place. I immediately told her not to bother coming because I won't be at home. This girl insisted that she'll come. I have currently left the house now and I'll be home by 9pm
It's not everything you people will use to waste our data here on NL. Mtchew!
thesolutions: My friend trainee was sent to get a pouch for my phone. He saith this was the only one available at the moment. It was more expensive than normal pouch. The price was discussed over the phone without seeing the pouch and I obliged to pay for it. On seeing it, we both were surprised it is ladies pouch. But I can't waste more time so I chose to keep it. My guy wanted to remove the shinny stuffs and beads attached at the back but I told him to leave it. I intend to swap it with a lady I helped charge her phone once In a while that uses same model of phone but she has not come around since I got the pouch.
I have been using the pouch but it has been attracting so many attention. Women claim it, men rejects it. Even miss independent is telling me to remove it
Men now rides ladies motorcycle but they have given it a different name just to detach it from feminine origin. Why can't they allow me use this pouch in peace even though it is temporary.
Nigerians no like money reach these Chinese people. These business takeover we are complaining of is not the first to happen in Africa, even in Benin republic they have opened shops for everything down to okrika. The main thing is what are the modalities for granting them business licenses, and other authorisations because here in China they are very stiff to mostly Nigerians.
Vendor127001: Former Militant Leader Asari Dokubo Takes Awkward Fall Mid-Swag Display
Former Niger Delta militant leader Asari Dokubo captured internet attention after a video surfaced showing him taking an unexpected fall while flaunting his lavish lifestyle and signature style.
In the brief video clip, Dokubo can be seen dressed in grand traditional attire, stepping out with full confidence to showcase his opulent presence. However, mid-stride, the former militant leader lost his footing and stumbled to the ground in a dramatic moment captured on camera.
Despite the sudden mishap, Dokubo quickly recovered, dusting himself off and regaining his composure. Refusing to let the spill ruin his moment, he played it cool and struck a final pose to demonstrate his unbothered attitude, turning an embarrassing tumble back into a display of pure confidence.
I can make this trip for less. Mile 2 to badagry by bus 1500 to 2000 Badagry to see 1000 to 1500 Cross border to Cotonou by trekking the short distance and settling immigration, health and Cotonou checkpoint not more than 1,500.
womilojublog: For centuries, the world looked at Africa through a lie drawn in ink. The Mercator projection, sketched by a Flemish cartographer in the 1500s for sailors reading compass lines, quietly became the map hanging in classrooms, newsrooms, and boardrooms everywhere. On it, Greenland loomed as large as Africa, though the continent is roughly fourteen times its size.
It was never really about navigation anymore. It was about how the world learned to see and to underestimate an entire continent.
This week, that distortion lost its grip on legitimacy. The "Correct the Map" resolution, put forward by African Union member states and the Bahamas, passed with overwhelming support: 164 member states voted in favor, six abstained, and only the United States voted against it. Togo led the African Union's campaign against the Mercator projection, and the resolution promotes the Equal Earth projection, a map that portrays the true proportions of the continents.
Togo's Foreign Minister put it simply: maps shape our understanding of the world they guide education, nourish the imagination, and influence collective perceptions.
A generation raised on a shrunken Africa doesn't just misjudge geography. It misjudges weight, relevance, scale of possibility. The resolution argued that the distortions in the current map have caused a "symbolic minimization" of the continent in the world's collective imagination.
For those who have crossed Africa's vastness in person its deserts, its rainforests, its cities stretching for what feels like whole countries in themselves the Mercator map was never just a technical curiosity.
It was a felt contradiction, obvious to anyone who had actually stood on the ground and measured the distance with their own two feet. Long before a vote in New York, that instinct was already correct. The world has simply caught up to it.
The resolution carries no legal force no atlas is required to change overnight. But symbolism has always been the real terrain of this fight. A truer map won't redraw a single border. It will, slowly, redraw the mind.
Make Una dey calm down,this is how South Africans started before the xenophobic attavks they are regretting now. Nigerians also have shops in Guangzhou, china. Make Una no start Wetin Una no go fit finish. You can't win a war of tit for tat with china, if it gets to that.
Because you might be eating meat from a dead or sick animal which comes cheaper.
motionarena: I recently went to the Market to get cooking ingredients and decided to buy 1k meat just to add to the sauce. The butcher did not initially want to sell for me, so he called be back as I was about leaving.
He sold 1k meat and cut dem into 4 pieces. When I cooked the meat, it reduced into small chunks. I remembered, I recently bought suya for 1k and its way more than this raw meat I got and considering the processing, labor and spices that goes into preparing suya one would think it should be less in quantity than raw meat.
Was I cheated by the butcher or Suya is a different kind of meat
Una two dey Siddon for time bomb. Don't take her feelings and reactions for granted. Make Una call unaself meeting before one person go fetch fuel for jerrycan.
FlamingBulb: I saw the news and cried do you know why?
My name is also Jacob and I am from Kogi
I have always been trying all I could to support my wife and 3kids but she never appreciates and uses insult on me on daily basis
This is someone who has never in her life worked so I am the only one working even when I lost my job for 2yrs I still managed to provide and there was nvr a day we did not eat 2times in my house.
Today I did all I could and prepared the best meal for my family and I served my wife this king I can pleased her again but what she said next shocked me. "weting you dey use Ur head think? I said what I want is rice today and why did you prepare yam and give me" Meanwhile she just said...ah if I fit see red oil rice...same here told my kids go to lesson when you are back we prepare yam.
I was so angry we insulted each other I used words in her life she will never recover
We have not talked to eachother till now BC I was angry and I don't care if she is too.
I used words I am not suppose to use like I fit kill you for this house you don't know me.
So now I saw this news and was like ehhn
Women can destroy you ooooo, I won't lie to you my wife is 80% good but you see snobbing, ignoring, lack of encouraging words, motivation she lacks to them.
Bros e never reach like that. They don't have visa or resident permit. Who go leave plenty business opportunity for China go do drugs, na death. Dey hungry you be that.
Saturnalia: The reason for their arrest no go pass drugs.
Whoever posted this video online no try oh. At least blur their faces and save their family members the embarrassment and trauma. It's not easy to maintain a resident permit because it's very expensive and you risk not even being granted resident permit after full payment of over 5million Naira for new people and about 3 million for renewal. That's why many people opted to stay illegally and try to use the funds available for business. But if e bust, you will spend time in prison and pay a fine of 10,000rmb/over 2million Naira and still ensure you pay and secure a flight ticket back home which costs over 1million naira. It's really hard in China. As it stands Nigerians have been blacklisted and even new applicants are being rejected till further notice because naija really don cast for China. #ifyouknowyouknow
Two Nigeria men were arrested in China in a restaurant by the China police on which their photographs were taken as the begging of one of them fell into a deaf ear.
Heartbreaking video showing a Nigerian man being arrested in China has been making people talk online. 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/PY9hiHLEcA
No resident permit. 😞 Over 150 people have gone down since beginning of this year. We are going through hard times which is set to even get worse. Anyone coming to china to reside think twice.
Kobojunkie: What is the point of the clip if the reason for the arrest is not included?
BRos if you continue with this relationship you go cry premium tears... Focus on getting the burden of debt behind you, if she wants to be a single mother or baby mama it's her choice and wasn't yours.
Anonymouus: Please, I Need Genuine Advice. Kindly Read My Story.
I would like to remain anonymous because this is one of the most painful seasons of my life. I’m not here to seek pity or to make anyone look bad. I only want honest advice from people who have experienced life. Please read with an open mind.
I met a wonderful lady some time ago. We became friends, fell in love, and eventually started planning our future together. We both agreed to get married.
For context, I’m a businessman. My income is not fixed, but I earn between 300,000 and 400,000 monthly, and I live comfortably. I knew I wasn’t rich, so from the beginning I suggested that we should have a modest wedding. However, she wanted something bigger and more elaborate.
This is where I made the biggest mistake of my life.
Wanting to make her happy, I lied. I told her I had everything sorted out financially, even though I didn’t. The wedding budget was close to 2 million, and I convinced her I had it covered.
Two weeks before the wedding, reality hit me. Every financial plan I had failed. I couldn’t raise the money.
I gathered the courage to tell her the truth.
I told her, I’m sorry. I lied. I don’t have the money I claimed I had. Everything has fallen apart. If you no longer want to continue with this marriage, I will understand.
She cried. I cried too.
After everything, she told me we should still go ahead with the wedding and trust God. She encouraged me not to give up.
To make the wedding happen, she contributed financially, I also contributed everything I had, and I borrowed money from friends. We both sacrificed a lot.
Then, the unexpected happened.
The night before the wedding, she spoke to her family about her fears. According to her, she told them she had contributed about 70% of the wedding expenses and that she was worried because I hadn’t fulfilled everything n the list.
She later told me that her family used those fears against her and convinced her not to continue with the marriage because they believed I wasn’t financially stable.
That same night…
She called off the wedding.
Both families had already gathered. My family had travelled. I had personally paid for their hotel accommodation.
Imagine the embarrassment.
My parents, relatives, and loved ones had to leave without a wedding taking place. It was one of the most humiliating moments of my life.
A few days later, she reached out to me.
She apologized sincerely.
She cried and admitted she had made mistakes. She said she allowed herself to be influenced by her family after opening up about her fears. She admitted she exaggerated some things and was deeply sorry for everything that happened.
There is another important part of this story…
She is pregnant with my child.
Despite everything, I decided to forgive her because I still loved her, and I wanted our child to grow up with both parents if possible.
The problem now became our families.
My family was completely against any reconciliation. They felt deeply disgraced. Some of my relatives even blocked me on WhatsApp because they couldn’t believe I still wanted to continue with her after everything that happened.
According to her, when she later spoke to her own family again, they told her that whatever decision she made was entirely hers. They were no longer interested in getting involved.
So we slowly started trying to rebuild our relationship.
Then another problem arose.
As I mentioned earlier, I borrowed money to support the wedding. I have paid back almost everyone I owed.
Only one creditor remained, and the amount I owe is less than 400,000.
Because the wedding never held and my business suffered badly afterwards, I couldn’t pay him back as quickly as I promised.
I didn’t run away from the debt.
I spoke to him honestly and explained my situation. I proposed paying him 50,000 every week until I cleared everything.
Unfortunately, he refused.
Instead, he contacted my fiancée’s family and informed them that I owed him money.
This reopened old wounds.
Her family, who had already doubted me before, became angry again after hearing this.
She called me and informed me that they had been contacted.
I explained everything to her.
I reminded her that she knows me better than anyone else. She knows I have never denied owing the money. She knows I already have a repayment plan and that I intend to pay every kobo.
The conversation ended peacefully.
Then…
The next thing I discovered was that she had blocked me everywhere.
WhatsApp.
Phone calls.
Everywhere.
She is currently staying with her family in another state while I am in a different state.
Since she blocked me, I have not tried to contact her through another number, even though I have one she doesn’t know. I have not called her. I have not sent messages through friends. I have simply respected her space.
But I won’t pretend…
This has been eating me up.
I don’t know whether I should continue waiting.
I don’t know whether I should reach out.
I don’t know whether I should move on.
I don’t know whether she’s protecting herself, under family pressure again, or whether she has truly decided she no longer wants me.
The hardest part is knowing she is carrying my child.
I know I made mistakes.
I lied about my financial capacity, and I have accepted responsibility for that. I have also worked hard to repay the debts I incurred because of the wedding.
I am not a fraud. I never borrowed money with the intention of disappearing. Life simply became much harder than I expected after the wedding collapsed.
So, I sincerely ask for your advice.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Should I continue waiting for her? Should I try reaching out through another number, or should I respect the fact that she blocked me? If she eventually comes back, should I still marry her after everything that has happened? And if she never comes back, how do I ensure I remain a responsible father to my unborn child?
Please be honest with me.
You can criticize me where I was wrong because I know I wasn’t perfect. But I also ask that you advise me like a brother or a sister.
Worst part is that while people spend at least 4yrs and millions in a university to acquire a degree,many people travelling abroad with degrees as part of the requirements spend not more than 500,000 naira to get a fake degree certificate... And it flies.
Let that sink in!
creepycramp: Graduates spend years unemployed. Employers increasingly value digital skills. Many self-taught tech workers earn more than degree holders. Schools still emphasize memorization instead of problem-solving. If you were 18 again today, would you still spend four or five years in university?
