This is the reason why for the first time in Nigeria's history, presidential elections were held in 2023 without a presidential debate because one of the key candidates was too afraid to show up. Or perhaps his handlers were aware of the risk of letting him show up for a live debate.

The same man who was asked before the 2023 elections how he intended to tackle the insecurity problem; his response on live TV was that he'd recruit 50 million youths into the army and feed them with cassava, yam and agbado. With all the clear signs, a large number of persons still voted him in and are still fighting to reinstall him as president. Africa is indeed cursed!

Yea, you absolutely have a point!

Like I said, APC and Tinubu's biggest mistake was to have prevented Prof. Yemi Osinbajo from winning the primaries. That man would have turned Nigeria around, but too bad, we have many greedy, selfish-minded people in politics.

Old age is finally telling on him. He should have just allowed Osinbajo to be President and stay as an elder stateman and political father, but his greed for power got the best of him.

Now look at him, what a shame.

Amen, yours too sir.

Flangelo12:
Yes, the statement "you would overcome" is grammatically correct and is used to talk about overcoming a challenge or obstacle.



Respectfully, sir.

Ok sir. 🙂

Flangelo12:
Ghana, stay strong.

You would overcome.

*will* not "would"...

Respectfully, sir. 😊

According to a recent survey, the average extra marital affair, lasts six months, and can cost about N685,000 a month, or about N4,105,000 in total. The survey broke down the expenses incurred in a typical extra marital fling, such as hotel bills (about N190,000), hang out foods and drinks (about N250,000), gifts (about N85,000), and date activities (movie tickets, about N110,000, and "others," about N60,000.)

LOL Nice... Na why some men no dey get money to give their family be this.

AHAHAHAHAH.... I am laughing so hard. These loan apps are crazy!

Nigerians must avoid them like a plague. CBN should also ban their activities cos this is terrible. They love to tarnish people's image once you don't pay back at the expected date, even if you've been consistent with previous loans, it doesn't concern them, they would still tarnish your image if you're not careful.

MrDIY:
That food is just for one person or highest two if they want to manage, now imagine a family of 3 or 4 earning 150k or below monthly, I personally spend 9k currently with a family of 4, and we’re just managing, I earn just under 150k if you do the math you’ll ask me how do I survive, I’ll tell you,I survive from loan to loan, all thanks to Tinubu

My brother, I left Nigeria not too long ago, before then, I was in debt to the tune of about N1m to various loan apps. It was GOD who helped me to repay the loan. I totally understand what Nigerians are passing through, cos I experienced it personally.

To be honest, APC government failed woefully and haven't lived up to expectations at all. It is well with Nigeria, that's all I have to say.

Caaz:
You guys love arguing blindly....
All items were listed there.


I m just a sensible woman that knows how to manage funds and run the home.

Nobody is arguing with you, but whatever you are doing, you know in your mind.

If you like, say you cooked for an entire village with 2k and plucked beef 🍖 and fish 🐟 from the tree 🌴, no wahala.

I highly suspect this account is being sponsored by the current government to influence public opinion and convince people that things are cheap whereas, it's not actually so.

This is just my thought, especially looking at the previous posts of this user. 'How to cook with 1 kobo and 2 kobo', na wetin full him profile.

Do your own research on where you're going to so that people won't make money off you. The only thing is that you must be willing to put in the work and learn about the country you're going to and the visa process, it's not rocket science.

But you can't expect a random person online to give you the blueprint and every necessary information you need for free, it doesn't usually work that way. Put in the work and do it yourself, that's it.

What I see here is the CBN bullying a citizen through the judiciary, because tell me why a company duly registered in 2004 and passed CAC approval, is being told to withdraw the name and pay compensation to CBN because it's a national asset? I understand the undertone, but that means Nairabet, Nairaland etc could face the same fate in the future.

In saner climes, they'd have a meeting with the owner of the trademark and settle with him outside of court, not that the owner would be asked to pay millions in compensation. If truly the name "Naira" belongs to all of us, everyone should have a right to use it without fear of consequences as long as they're legally compliant.

The aspect I dislike the most is telling the company to pay N10m to CBN! That judgment is flawed in my opinion.

That wine is for casual and local consumption only. It wouldn't pass the required hygiene tests for branding.

The palm oil too is for small scale and local consumption. Most of them are sold in the local markets as unbraded palm oil.

Hmm... what South Africa is doing will come back to bite them in some years to come and by then, there would be no African country to support them. The cruelty to their fellow Africans reeks of slavery and colonial mentality.

If you're an SA citizen and you like this, just know that you've lost every right to criticize or codemn racists and xenophobes in other countries cos it's what you did to your fellow Africans.

That chain looks classy to you? Most of you doing FC vs 30BG really need to rethink your life choices.

This is why I believe nothing is special about the white people. Imagine you posted that wine is being processed in sokoto by aggressive matching with leg Nigerians will begging to insult ourselves that we are backward

We are great people too nobody should start doing black and white analysis, infact the whites are wicked than we Africans

True. There's nothing special about them at all, except for the fact that they believe in their own things and trust their own systems... Africans have been told that their own things aren't good enough, so they stopped innovating and relied on foreign tech. Either ways, it's obvious every society is founded on basic knowledge...

Most small scale palm oil producers are now using palm oil press machine, which is quite better compared to the foot press method.

Either ways, if both are done under clean conditions, it poses no danger to the consumer. Even wine 🍷 in foreign countries are still processed by foot press method and they don't consider it dirty, but innovation is better overall.

I know absolutely nothing about cars and wanted to get my first car... I always loved 2013-15 Honda accord.... All my hope was on a friend who's been in car business for about 5 years now and knows his way around.

I went to where he is and we looked for a direct Belgium car, he did all the necessary test and assured me it was a good car... The person we were getting is from is also his business network of friends.

I made the whole payment without doing any test of my own because I know nothing.... We did drive test and everything and the car was okay.


On getting to my state I just decided to Google the Cars VIN number, I saw it online where it was in USA, turns out it seemed the car was used for Taxi in USA... While other than the headlight which was damaged in the VIN page it has no issue.


My concern now is the mileage... It has more than 200kmiles on it already... And via my small research such cars are bound to fail anytime.


I paid 13m for 2015 honda accord not to talk of transportation to my state which is 600-900km away from Lagos which te driver is saying he will take 700k to drive it to my state, not to talk of commission I paid my guy


My question now is was I scammed?

I've been depressed since last week

How is being scammed even coming to your mind? Did they hide the mileage from you? If the car dealer never hid the mileage from you, you're just bothered over nothing.

Who says a 200k mileage car will fail? Anyways, enjoy your car.

The governor will be made to "cough" out the N30b the FG gave him for bomb victims. That way, his campaign fund will be deflated. Try and connect the dots in this assumption or logic.

Till then... 😏

Any politicking can happen, I don't doubt that, but kidnapping people with terrorists is something I consider too much just because someone declared for president. Let's apply wisdom and logic, it makes no sense.

It's obviously a skit, the name of their tiktok page (steven and gift) is even there.

You guys need to verify information more before posting it and misinforming the general public!

Let's assume it's true that there's a connection between his declaration and the kidnap, but who does it reflect poorly on?

Everyone with basic education knows that the governors have no power or control over the police, military or even civil defence. We don't have state policing yet and only the president has authority over the security architecture in the entire country, so the blame still falls on the president, who is an APC founding member, so I don't think it makes any sense.

Besides, there is something that most of us have been sleeping on- Northern Terrorists have moved down South and the South-West is currently feeling it. It has happened in Kwara, Kogi, Ondo (Owo Church massacre) and now Oyo. Only people who don't reason deeply would fail to see that this is a general problem of insurgency and it's bigger than politics. This is a national emergency.

Politicians have failed Nigerians, both APC, PDP, all of them. Military men and Police are dying like chickens, terrorists rebranded as bandits, imagine 17 police officers dying in a military facility. It is well with Nigeria.

Omo this matter go far oo. On the one hand, I don't want Desmond's political ambition to be stifled by the lack of support from political godfathers, on the other hand, he's a beneficiary of the same system.

At the end of the day, what would determine if he actually deserves the position is the impact he made in his 12 years in office. How well did Surulere constituents fare under him, was he using the office for more of personal enrichment? Over to the constituents.

Are these the "drug dealers and criminal foreigners" who are ruining their society? You can see this is hate and intolerance at play.

This just shows you how terrible many black South Africans are at reasoning. They are directing their anger towards foreigners cos they can't touch the whites who own 70% of the assets in their country.

Anyways, good luck to them.

Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.

That lady is a deceiver and you cannot trust whatever comes out of her mouth. Someone who went from sleeping with her ex and even aborting a pregnancy to telling you she's a virgin and building your relationship on lies is a very dangerous woman. You cannot trust all she has told you... she's a chronic liar and a manipulator.

It's better to call off the wedding now than to continue a relationship built on lies. That lady could even scam you with fake virginity on your wedding night, women are now doing it.... A word is enough for the wise.

mirrael68:
Only if Tinubu riggs

That's a possibility. But apart from rigging, Obi's migration from one party to another could be a structural flaw for his 2027 ambition. He has moved across 5 parties now and possibly still counting. APGA-PDP-LP-ADC-NDC, with some of his political mentees having bought forms at ADC for several millions. If something happens at NDC, we can expect him to leave again...

Either ways, may the best man win.

Obi would definitely pull a considerable crowd, but I suspect Tinubu would win eventually.

Bro how is that man 39 years? I highly doubt that's his real age... Judging by his looks, he can't be less than 50.
Anyways, if he's innocent, may God rescue him, but if he's guilty

Bewareofscammer:
Lol we're already tracking him

He live around oshogbo

You don't know if the scammer is monitoring the posts... Say less and work more from the shadows, that's how to nab criminals.

Omo this guy cash out gan ooo... So upon all the sharpness wey una dey form for Nairaland, people fit fall mugu like this?

1 man/woman na him dey dribble different people like this! Wonders shall never end. I hope they catch him though, make dem use am as scape goat hand am over to EFCC.
