Ishilove:
The same set of people keep recycling themselves in power.

I thought someone said this moniker had disappeared?

Recycling themselves for real, like groundhog's day

princeFAD:
'I will appoint' is different from 'I appoint' or I have appointed'.

So go sue him for incorrect grammar

LeoDeKing:
Meanwhile, warn Sanwo-Olu not to appoint any lunatic into Lagos state cabinet. It is only a lunatic you give food to eat, then stand up and start claiming ownership of the source of that food.

This table you're shaking😊

Sonnobax15:

Las las,na the fuel Wahala be my major concern right now

Jagaband? I thought it is Jagaban. Or do you mean as in Jagabandit?

Hobbies, with their power to provide relaxation, personal growth, and exploration of diverse interests, hold a significant place in our lives. However, the pursuit of hobbies often entails substantial financial investments. In light of this, we have meticulously curated an extensive compilation of ten hobbies that are either free or affordable, empowering you to save money while indulging in your passions.

1. The Enchanting World of Reading: Immersing oneself in the realm of literature has been an enduring pastime for centuries, offering unparalleled intellectual stimulation and emotional solace. By embracing the treasure trove of knowledge and entertainment available at your local library, you can embark on countless literary adventures without incurring any financial burden. The library shelves are lined with an inexhaustible variety of books, enabling you to explore an array of genres, authors, and narratives to your heart’s content.

2. Unleashing Creativity through Writing: The act of writing is not merely a means of self-expression; it is a profound journey of self-discovery, catharsis, and artistic exploration. Whether you opt to maintain a personal journal, establish an online blog, or delve into the realm of storytelling, writing offers a therapeutic outlet that comes at minimal cost. All that is required is a pen and paper or a digital medium to commence your literary voyage.

3. Embracing Nature through Hiking: The enchanting allure of nature’s splendor can uplift our spirits, rejuvenate our minds, and instill a profound sense of awe. Fortunately, the simple pleasure of hiking enables us to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of the outdoors without incurring any financial expense. Lace up your shoes, embark on a nearby trail, and venture into the wilderness, where you can marvel at awe-inspiring landscapes, encounter fascinating wildlife, and savor the tranquility bestowed by the natural world.

4. Capturing Moments with Photography: In this era of technological marvels, most individuals wield a powerful tool in the palm of their hands—the smartphone, equipped with a high-quality camera.

Engage in the joyful process of nurturing your own green space, experimenting with various plant species, and reveling in the innate beauty of nature, right at your fingertips.

6. Embarking on a Gastronomic Journey: The allure of dining out at restaurants often tempts us with its convenience and tantalizing flavors, yet it can drain our financial resources over time. By embracing the art of cooking, we can embark on a culinary adventure from the comforts of our own kitchens. Cooking serves as a creative outlet, enabling us to experiment with an assortment of flavors, textures, and recipes. Numerous online platforms, such as YouTube and Pinterest, provide an abundance of easy and budget-friendly recipes, empowering us to unleash our inner gourmet without exceeding our financial limits.

The one BIG flaw in the subsidy removal thing is this:
Just because government makes or saves a trillion naira does not mean any of it will trickle down to the common man.
Subsidy, though inefficient, though somewhat wasteful, is the ONLY thing that GURRANTEES the little man gets a piece of the pie. He can SEE it kolokolo when he makes purchases of everything due to the multiplier effect of price of oil.

The quote below would beg to differ

All this write-up just to warm up food??
How to cook the food must be volumes of books!

How to heat food if you don't have a microwave

Regardless of whether you don't have a microwave because you chose to or because you have to, you might be asking how to reheat food so that you can have warm, steamed meals. Here are the best ways to reheat food quickly and without compromising on flavor, texture, or time.

I became aware that rolling blackouts had begun in Northern California as soon as I lost Internet access. The news warned us to try to avoid opening the refrigerator. Using the microwave was not an option because the electricity was out. We could at least cook and reheat food at my friend's house where we were staying because it had a gas burner.

1: Reheat it on the stove

The majority of items that you previously prepared on the stove can be quickly reheated there. This comprises veggies, sauces, stews, and curries (such as a chicken broccoli stir-fry).

Guidelines: The dish should be prepared in a saucepan and cooked at low to medium heat. I usually reheat my lunch in less than five minutes (YMMV depending on how powerful your stove is). Make sure to watch it to prevent burning. Once it is warm enough for your tastes, it is prepared.

Remember: It works best for soups and other similarly wet dishes. You might wish to try one of the following techniques if you have dry meals to reheat, such as pancakes.

Tip: For convenient and lazy warming, keep the food in the original pan. When you work from home and need to eat lunch quickly, this is quite beneficial.

2. Steam it

Because steaming is a mild cooking technique that employs moisture (sometimes referred to as a "wet" cooking method) to reheat the food, it is good for warming frozen foods, foods that cling together, and meat that can easily dry up (like chicken breast).

Guidelines: Use a steamer basket. Use a large soup pot with a lid and a metal colander if you don't have one (this is my current technique).

In the absence of a colander or a large sufficient soup pot, you can set a plate atop an upside-down bowl to serve as a temporary stand. As you can see in the photo below, I used a heatproof bowl as a stand. Ensure that the water doesn't touch the plate and that it doesn't entirely evaporate. While your food is hot enough, steam it. Follow the directions on the package if the food is frozen.

3. Bring it to a boil

Boiling is the quickest method of reheating previously cooked items (like broccoli and beans). I recently bought ramen that called for boiling the noodles first, then warming the sauce package by immersing it in boiling water.

Guidelines: In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the items you wish to reheat. Boil for 2–3 minutes, or until the meal is well heated (depending on volume and how cold the food was).

Cautions: Avoid boiling items that include sauces and flavorings since the water will wash the flavorings away. A (like pasta and rice). If you boil them for an extended period of time (unless you're making porridge), they may get mushy.

4: Add hot water

Several foods will warm up just by remaining in boiling water. This method is my favorite because it is mild, doesn't call for using a burner (I use a kettle to boil the water), and doesn't need to be watched over. When you're camping or staying in a hotel with a hot water dispenser, try this reheating method.

Soft-boiled eggs, hotdogs, tofu, and tiny amounts of green vegetables (like green beans) can all be heated by adding boiling water (this five-spice tofu recipe is a good instance).

Guidelines: Boil water on the stove or in a kettle. Put the meal you wish to reheat in a small saucepan, Pyrex measuring cup, or another heatproof container. Over it, pour boiling water. The food needs at least five minutes to warm up.

5. You can use a water bath

I needed to reheat my oatmeal for breakfast last week. That felt like too little to reheat in a saucepan on the stove because there was only about a cup and a half of it. A water bath I made performed better than I had anticipated.

The gentlest option is a water bath. It does, however, take the longest. So, it's advisable to save it for small amounts of food or extremely delicate meals (like scrambled eggs).

Directions: Put the meal in a container that can withstand heat. A glass jar was employed. Simmering water in a pot with the glass jar inside. Stir the meal frequently until it is well hot.

6. You can Pan-fry it

Pan frying is a great way to warm up a lot of things. For meals that would become soggy if you cooked them by boiling or steaming, such as fried foods (chicken nuggets), foods with a lot of oil or fat, and dishes like fruit pies (indeed, my father-in-law has pan-fried a slice of cherry pie to heat it up), this "dry heat" cooking technique is appropriate (rice, quinoa, pasta).

What happened with the heading

Your heading should be:
"Thugs disrupt and destroy polling units while police watched"

How about over confidence? If you are too confident what do you do?

OP your heading is ridiculously DISHONEST!

Question is, are YOU yourself sophisticated? But how can you be when you are so small that all you are about is tribe!
Start seeing and treating people as individuals my son because that's exactly what they are!

Where's this?

* sorry. I now see it says Lagos

naijaway:
15yrs from now, Nigeria will really be on the verge of becoming a state than a country cuz we would be succuming to our other brothers pressure. It will be bettter and also getting better cuz alot of our citzens will be having legit businesses all over Africa than the statistics now. In my view there's hope excerpt we have a military dictactor and our leaders keeps listening to traditional rulers. Abohboy

Exactly 15 years now. Grade your prediction

People  know very well how dangerous is the Niger Delta region in Nigeria  where many foreigners have  been captured by  armed rebels  over the past years. One can wonder why despite all the news about this part of Nigeria some "daredevils"  still venture out  there .[b]I keep on  thinking that may be  some crooked in need of big bucks make  contacts with these rebels ,purposely leave their countries ,in order to engineer their own kidnapping .[/b]When in captivity they work together with the rebels to ask for big money to their own government for their freedoom.Once the money is payed, everybody has his share: the rebels and the "prisoners"  !
Everything is possible these days where filibusters dress as VIPs.

Are you saying that some foreigners conive with kidnappers to get kidnapped so their government will pay ransome?

Nice2023:
Me japa to where.

This is my country and I am not living Nigeria to any where.

So how many Nigerian women having problems with hubby have you told this below?

Nice2023:
If u have no where to go...come let me take care of u

Come and u won't regret it.

Nice2023:
If u have no where to go...come let me take care of u until the day u will leave Nigeria.

Come and u won't regret it.

There was time yorubas largely migrated to the North, until ethnic riot taught many a bitter lesson, yorubas lost businesses and property, most returned to west to start all over again in the 90's
Bro some truth might sound cruel, nobody we state one tribe can't live anywhere in Nigeria but what we are saying is where ever you find yourself its common sense to respect your host.
Growing up in my Fathers house then, i remember there are things i will and my father will remind my son, these is my house you get, that is own father o
TBH ! igbos have to call themselves to order

Well, that's just human nature. Even Nigerians in foreign countries, after, say, 20 years, no longer consider themselves foreigners. How much more people who have been in a different part of their own country for generations

This is like asking Ibos to stop breathing

reddingtonblack:
Inter-state comparism and international are not the same, but even at that your clever submission still begs the question.

Why will you leave your father land and go to develop other peoples land ... have you considered what happened to Abramovich of chelsea, govt can easily furstrate you out
do you remember xenophobia and what happened to Nigerians in south africa, now igbos are agitating for Biafra and at the same tine investing madly in a state they want to secede from ..just imagine igbos get Biafra today what do you think will happen to all there invest in other regions, will they secede and still be living in Nigeria

China is all over the world, but they contribute their gains largely towards the development of china.

Well, people go where they're destined to thrive. There are Nigerians flexing in various countries all over the world who'd have died of hunger if they stayed in Nigeria! Ibos tend to japa from their ancestral land more than any other people. As for Biafra, I don't think japarian Ibos want Biafra at all. They know Naija is too intertwined to be separated - it's too late!

oyin44:
So you are comparing Ghana to Nigeria as if you are comparing anambra to kano..


Wake up..south east is a deserted region

They ARE in a foreign country, but for Lugard

oyin44:
If it so .what is stopping them from developing their region

It's like asking a Naija buying up houses in, say, Accra, what's stopping him from developing Nigeria!

Ok, I'm in US. I source used items and ship to Naija. I have trusted people to sell them over there. Only thing missing is finance

Take this advice to heart. One of the best feelings in the world is NOT marriage, it is financial security! One of the worst feelings is financial insecurity. Thus your main aim should be to use that 2m to become permanently financially secure. You get this by making SURE that from now onwards BEFORE you take on any liability like marriage, you already have INCOME that would pay for it or that it pays for itself. Otherwise DON'T, no matter how pressured you feel!

Scam
