Regina sugar daddy just dey press this people mumuu botton

Ned wants to be Governor by force.

Soon, every household should be a state at this rate.

amaridigital:
Then are you suggesting Tinubu should float another viable opposition party again after he did Sdp and AD with other democrats, AC, ACN by himself and APC with others?
These are opposition parties that started from scratch.
Why didn't those desperados comsiders Sowore's party?
They won't because he's not rich and they can't control or bully him anyhow.

Before nko? Everyone's in it for their own benefit. Not to benefit me or you.

reddingtonblack:
Even at that, if the judgement doesnt favour them ... They still have leverage By time to re organise and do necessary things

Allow the high court hearing and verdict 1st that whats tenable

But that is the ping-pong I am talking about. If they have time to re-organise themselves, then they are not played.

ADC is becoming too overcrowded by those who want to stand for presidency. Too many captains.

U can't just understand this country......

Sad.

AllBlack:
Governor be like: I HAVE SECURITY AND YOU DON'T.

So unless two people hold the vehicle cover, it will fall on the Gov's head? EYE SERVICE at it's best.

Until we decide to be serious in this country before rubbish will reduce.

Ol' boy, the world does not run on intelligence or ability. It runs on sycophancy.

That is why high positions are full of sycophants and much of the world, especially the African one is so messed up.

Those tank cover holding officers will be promoted/recomended for one far more frequently than better educated/trained officers making their service tick.

In one of the "saner climes" see one old youngie Baba surrounded by sycophants who hailed him to go to war unprepared and he sacks seasoned generals who dare to give him professional/impartial advice.

reddingtonblack:
Why is ALL APC member suddenly on this ADC matter, whether Nafiu gombe or David mark are they suppose to even pick a side, except something is " OFF"

Once your enemy is aligning with your other enemy .. It simply means they have met

anyways, i see wike point, David mark dem made a blunder move, why appeal a case that have not been tried, doesnt add up
It was better for the worst judgment to have happened then, they still have plenty of time to change ship and re-strategize better But now its not gud .. We must make ADC see their own fvckup tew

Sadly, 9ja does not work on logic. Not in a country where judges are openly given SUVs and mansions as ruling party largesse, instead of being a constitutional package linked to their role and managed independently.

ADC must have got rumours that the court judgement will be rigged. But sure, legal matters should not run on rumours or sentiments in an ideal world. But 9ja is not ideal.

ADC might just have been played like amateurs.

All these decamping here and there means you can have a powerful "mole" in your ranks.
No matter which party you support, poor or dead opposition is not healthy for any democracy.

brain54:
Make Una leave people to make laws and run their country the way they want...


Shebi Senegal practices democracy and the law passed through their parliament?


It represents their culture and values. Leave them alone. Face your own country and practice what you like.


WTF!

And they will never criticise Saudi Arabia for chopping off heads for less.

Hypocrites.

Well, a God-fearing woman deserves a God-fearing man.

Otherwise, it's like setting a rat trap hoping to catch a tiger with it.

Oga missionary, truth is not welcome in these parts o.

We prefer to lie to ourselves.

We pretend to be asleep so that we cannot be roused.

They will say you are a sponsored foreign agent.

Hungrychicken:
Real estate is not a get rich quick investment. So, stop using greed to bill tenants.

Lol. My brother, build and rent it out for N500 per year.

Any investment that cannot let you recoup initial investment (adjusted for inflation) in about 15 years is not worth it.

And 9ja has some of the very worst tenants. Some run away with their debts. Some wait for eviction and make it a legal case.

A certain group of people is well known for making their rental debt a legal case.

Better to invest your money in commodities than rental building that some yeye tenants will use to cause you problems.

Let everybody build their own house. QED.

amaridigital:
So who exactly has the right to use Dr?
If NUC claims only PhD holders have the right to use 'Dr' then I expect the Nigerian Medical Association to take them to court and also claim only medical doctors can use the title.
Technological and scientific advancement plus research are changing our world with new discoveries and innovations coming out almost every minute but the best Nigeria could offer is to fight for titles. Shame!

Actually, in many countries, non-medics hardly use Dr title, even if they have an academic PhD/doctorate. American lawyers since some decades now have JD in Law to practice. But they are simply called Attorney.

On the other hand, Arnold Schwarzenegger was awarded an honorary PhD this week by Ulster University in Belfast UK. The university wrote on a poster at the award venue: "He's back as Dr Arnold Schwarzenegger."

In 9ja we focus too much on trivialities.

davidotokiblog1:
But it’s not always that simple. ‘Cheap’ apartments often come with serious issues poor water supply, bad infrastructure, or unsafe environments. That’s exactly why people complain, not just about price but about the standard of living.

Telling people to just move back to their parents doesn’t address the real issue. The discussion is about fair pricing and decent living conditions, not avoiding responsibility. Everyone deserves a reasonable place to live for what they pay.

One main issue is that the cost of budding a house is almost similar in Ikorodu and Ojo. Costs in GRA Benin and Oluku near Benin are virtually same.

The cost of land is what may differ quite a lot. If you built a standard 2 x 3-bed flats for 70million and rent both out, how long will it take you to recoup investment? Very long. And you need ongoing maintenance.

Not to mention high inflation that necessitates rent increases that tenants find annoying. Rental agents have to eat too.

iwaeda:
Nigeria is the 49th country, we will get automatic qualifications, like Italy, like Nigeria.

At least whenever Italy qualify, they actually play to try to win. Even if with dirty tricks like injuring Amunike and Amokachi out of the pitch in the knock out stage in 1994. Or the grandpa defender nearly "nakeding" Bukayo Saka in England v Italy Euro final some years back.

Funny enough, it's the SE players who benefit most from qualifying for the WC and reaching the later stages of it. Yet, most play like it's a walk in the park.

EniHolar:
Losing 2-1 against Germany should be celebrated, but everyone has someone else to blame for failure

Maybe getting a new coach get them the world cup

In 2014, Ghana nearly knocked Germany out of Brazil World Cup. In the last group game, few minutes to end the game, Jordan Ayew had a ball to beat the keeper or square it to Gyan to score. He chose to shoot and couldn't score. Gyan was on fire that year. The game ended 2:2 and Germany went through to knock out rounds. A loss would have sent Germany back home and Ghana through.
And Germany went on to beat Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup 2024.

So, for Ghana, they don't have that complex of celebrating losing games to European sides.

Senegal beat England 3:1 a while ago.

Oga Jarret, your governor has no clout. He's a predictable boyi-boyi.

No one respects boyi-boyi and his followers.

APC knows that Edo and Delta are PDP states on a normal day, without much rigging.

Gotocourt:
Medical Doctors dey over do things normally. The government should start appointing Pulic Administration Officers to head Teaching hospitals and other public health institution.

You mean PA and business people that think only about saving money to get fat bonuses?
It has not helped much in some Western countries like UK. Over 7 m patients waiting in the queue to treatment. Or those who try to control who doctors can prescribe vital but expensive cancer drugs for and who not?
Medics interested in the admin side of things often do MBA anyway.
Doctors and Dentists should continue with MDCN. Others need a better joint Health Professions Council than the current one.

I believe other care professions need more autonomy to develop their craft.

Heineken
Governor
Amerika
President
Manager

Someone may just think I'm making these names up! These are real names!

We know James Manager, Heiniken Lokpobiri. Many of them.
Others like Worldnorgree, Inorspoilpersonown, Shamedoncatchenemy, etc.

Horsfall is another. Na Oyinbo corrupt the Efik name from something else, to the nearest sounding English name.

You won't believe it until your hear it in Niger Delta.

moscow007:
Who rubbished the naira?

Is Nigeria using naira or Dollar?

Why must we measure and rate our obligations in dollar?

Well, because they are unknowingly admitting the Naira is nearly useless in financial reckoning. Under their watch.

If you try to be too smart, you expose yourself. But the don't know.

eagleonearth:
what if the older woman is a virgin?

It still does not increase her fertility. Her body still gets old and her eggs have still been reducing monthly since first menses. First baby at older age also has its many down sides.

The body goes through the first hormonal changes due to pregnancy which nature intended the body to go through at a younger age. It is well known now that having a baby later after having a baby at an earlier age makes the body more familiar with the process. Not too late though, because regular aging process still goes on.

Imagine first pregnancy at 39? Gestational diabetes could be a problem.

Growing up, I remember how many women who died around 40 to 47 due to pregnancy complications. I didn't know the science behind it back then as a kid. Because of more physical work and less fatty food, girls started having menses at an older age, at 14 or 15 in those days. So, they remained fertile for longer, into older age.

You need a certain level of body fat for the hormones for puberty to be made in the required quantity.

For example, some adult women with severe anorexia lose so much weight and body fat that their monthly period stops. Too little hormones.

nairalanda1:
Well, post partum hemmorhage is a common cause of death in women pregant with multiple babies. Even when everything has been done.

The thing about the uterus..or womb, is that to prevent bleeding, you got to have some 'tone' in the uterus. A pregnancy in mutliples 'stretches out the uterus' and causes something called atony, which can lead to severe bleeding and death.

And it ain't easy treating postpartum hemmorhage. It can mean spending hours on the operating table..far longer than one thinks dem go spend.

This was not medical negligence most likely. EVERYTHING was done, and it didn't end well this time.

You guys should stop blaming every death in hospital on 'negligence'. Sometimes, one does everthing by the book, and it doesn't work out.

We can't be sure what happened. In emergency, maybe hysterectomy as a last resort could have helped to save her life.
You know 9ja, oxytocin or other uterotonics used may be fake. Resources for further intervention may be lacking. RIP to her.

Diamond098454:
He's 50 and should marry a 40 to 35 years old lady

You mean those that have possibly used abortion to scatter their womb?

Yes na man impregnate them, but dem nor force them open leg. Adults make decisions.

Stephen0mozzy:
Una go dey bark at man wey obviously has made his own standards and has communicated it.

Only above 30s wey nor see man go dey bitter. Should he really go and settle down with someone close to menopause because he's a ripe 50?

But una no go complain when girls of 19 dey get sugar daddies in the high 80s of age.

Nor mind them. Some women are reaching menopause before 40 nowadays. Partly because some start menses at age 11. Once the fixed number of eggs a woman is born with exhaust, that's it. Donor eggs and IVF are not cheap.

In fact being 50 makes having a younger lady more important. You can't have too older people who may both have accumulated defects in their reproductive resources have a child. Risk of congenital defects increases.
Also, the older the woman, the more likely she has had several potentially womb-damaging abortions.

nairalanda1:
State police won't work in Nigeria.

No state has the resources to fund state police when even the government is struggling to find money for Nigeria police.

If you want a working state police, you need funds for jails , stations, communications equipment, forensic services, extensive records system, more judges , more lawyers for prosecution service, more detention facilities for juvenile prisoners , drones, armoured cars, helicopters, training facilities and I mean modern training facilities, not secandary school type buildings, all that would cost more money than Lagos spends and has in a year for one state.

I know I would be abused and called all sorts of names, but I also ask anyone reading this to watch police body cam videos on YouTube, and ask yourself if your state can provide the kind of stuff that local American city police has.

If we are setting up state police only to have them be blown away by bandits and armed thugs that have military grade weapons , then what is the use of state police.? To send more young men and women to Gehenna for nothing?

Let's not let APC deceive us with state police talk. As it stands e no go work. Not today, not tomorrow.

I haven't even mentioned the issues with tribalism, religion issues and politicians misusing them self

Lol. That na Singapore overnight be that.

Even if you gather all the prayer warriors to deliver governors from wanton corruption, that can't happen.

They should immediately remove immunity from governors, otherwise, dem fit use state police kpai many people. Power intoxicates.

Aidoko2:
I was surprise that Warri wasn’t a state capital even though it is popular than Delta state

It was Miriam Babangida that took it to her hometown, Asaba, in 1991.

Remi Tinubu will make her mother's town, Warri, a state capital this time.

All na connection and politics.

What people don't see is that the desire to make Warri a state capital by Remi Tinubu is probably what will make Anioma likely to happen.

What Akpabio didn't say is that there is agitation for other states in the SS. SS states on the whole are not the ones asking for Anioma. Akpabio is cryptic.

Igbo should be careful not to be hoodwinked. If Anioma is granted, SS states may only approve it as a 7th SS state. SW might get at least two states. Ife-Ijesha state will likely be one of them. Ibadan state may follow. NC will likely get Okun State. Those agitating for Anioma don't care if it's in SE or SS. They only care about Anioma being created.

Igbo should focus on Etiti, Orlu or Adada state.

Toolegit123:
Good day everyone.

So recently I've been thinking about marriage. I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me.

From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.

It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.

So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry.

Pastor and fiancee/girlfriend in one sentence for me na red flag.
For your peace of mind, gradually move on.

You don't want an outsider controlling and manipulating your wife.

It never ends well.

Now, it's clear why everyone is moving to APC.

ICPC/EFCC get huge files on them.

SixSeven:
Second colonialism through democracy. Quite unfortunate.

Right to the French, left by the British.

Nigeria, indeed they hail thee. Compatriots that used to arise were silenced.

African leaders still believe these Europeans? Let them go ask Zelensky the comedian.

EmmyMaestro:
The previous story was an events planner now an entrepreneur.

An evens planner is a business person, no?

So why is she not an entrepreneur?

RIP to the young lady.

fixedhollies:
Of what benefit is the present democratic government! No opposition, senators saying sirs up and down. Posterity would judge you bro Wike

We just don't know what democracy is all about. It failed 9ja in the 1960s, early 1980s and failing since 1999.

IBB had the golden opportunity to be a benevolent military dictator and set 9ja on the same path like Malaysia but he failed too.

Gerontocracy and monarchy are our natural governance system. Virtually every president except Yar'adua and GEJ have behaved like a monarch so far. Only that they don't have the fear of what will happen to their children later when they get to the throne.

Political positions have become like monarchies, but without the history, heritage and customs/traditions that guide them. The constitution/courts have no teeth to bite against politicians that control all the money and state power.

wink2015:
But why is it that Nigeria is not able to build aircraft like Brazil.

What do you need plane for when you can make wheelbarrow?
Those Brazilians have been at it for decades. Their Embraer is a really good plane.

Even direct flight to Brazil, we are still doing MOU. It will be easier for Brazilians and Chinese to transfer their tech to us.
Western people wey no waive Covid-19 vaccine patent right and nor give Ebola experimental vaccine.

MarkNsukkaBread:
So you're saying that we should throw or doors open for them to enter anytime they like without any visa policies and restrictions simply because we want to boost our tourism figures and earn more dollars.

Inferiority complex is your problem, you are also an olodo!

So, you are wiser and superior than Moroccans, Americans, Australians, French and others who allow others to come in with their dollars and hard currencies? Empty pride.

Be doing local champion. What are you afraid of? You believe archaic and retrogressive policies that stifle the economy make you superior?

To be superior, provide security in your country, jobs, constant electricity, don't be the poverty capital of the world, don't be fantastically corrupt, retain your best brains/doctors, engineers, politicians should not siphon public money to buy houses in countries that treat you shabbily at their embassies and consulates in Nigeria, don't expose yourself to SA xenophobia, etc.

That's how to be superior. Not by mouth or empty pride.

Obviously, you haven't travelled visa-free to Western countries, Tunisia, Morocco or countries wise enough to attract tourists, so you will never understand it.

By the way, most won't even come due to insecurity, so no point.
