COMRADES, at the moment, 80% of Nigerian men are experiencing high malnourishment as a result of poverty caused by maladministration, and I don't think this is the kind of news that many Nigerian men want to hear now!

So lack of vitamins and minerals is enough to cause penile slumber.

You are a legend.

JoshTim:
I thought the schools should have money set aside for awards/better partner with private bodies..not relying on alumni contribution

The govt should do roads, provide security of lives and property, conduct free and fair elections, provide economic security/enabling environment, etc.

Does the govt do the above adequately?

Why would you expect universities to do better than govt at all levels?

What is the funding per student in 9ja universities?

Dude, it's no news govt and everything under it (including universities) have been poor.

So, the summary is commend the widow's might of individuals.

JoshTim:
The money is so poor. 1million for all of them, not 1million each. This country will not grow.

.
It's just one Alumnus working in US Air Force contributing his widow's might. If 30 Alumni of Engineering gathered to do it, it would be more money.

Please let's commend efforts that private people make daily.

Congrats to the awardees.

MeaslesMumpsRub:
Is she yoruba or Igbo or South African?

She is African and Nigerian. That should suffice. Many of us bear names that don't fully tell all our ethnic roots.

Monitor lizard.

Alekpa in Edo.

I am trying to put their 4 AFCON's in the proper context.

The last time they won, there were no mobile phones, even Paul Biya sef wasn't yet President of Cameroon.

Haba!

Paul the dude will be happy. It means he can run for another presidency, in his mind.

zealousayo:
There are many kings in Yorubaland that are ahead of Olubadan e.g. Owa Obokun of Ijeshaland, Akarigbo of Remo, Soun of Ogbomoso, Oluwo of Iwo, Ataoja of Osogbo, Timi of Ede, Osemawen of Ondo, Olugbo of Ugboland, Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, etc. Historically, Olubadan is nowhere near these Obas.

The Olowo of Owo. He's even mentioned in Ifa corpus. The quintessential compendium of Yoruba history, science, medicine, pantheon and religion. Only few other direct progenitors of modern kings like Sango (Alaafin), Obalufon, etc are mentioned.

Truly, the Alake and Olubadan are just about 200 years old. Olowo stool has existed since about 1019 AD and already a well-established Kingdom by 1400 AD.

This innovation gon see thousands of pharmaceutical companies bankrupt,causes huge job losses,loss of billions $$ revenues from malaria drugs sales in africa,asia & south america.
It will saves lives of millions of infants,teens,pregnant women & increase productivity in men.
When i was a teenager almost lost my life to malaria....i done suffer for mosquito hand ooo,that i vow when i grow up am going to find a way to eradicate them..i remembered fetching d larvae in a jar from d gutter & watch them change from larvae to pupas to adult mosquitoes then i killed the bastards.
Thank God i have developed some resistance to malaria over d years.

Lol, who tell you?

They can generate a single "Covique 27" according to Bubu and make a trillion dollars in no time. Pharma will never lose. Yes, jobs will be lost temporarily.

As deadly as Covid-19 was, big pharma refused to release the vaccine patent to SA, India and other countries capable of mass-producing it.

My conclusion over malaria is that pharma people were never really serious about it. It does not generate much money for them as we think.

Yep, I discussed it with people working in the sector.

Ok, while at it, they should make it be big like that insect that used be a snack in those days. They flock to kerosine light inside a bowl of water to trap them.

Those old enough in the house can relate.

Turn the mosquitoes to a nice snack.

Stevenbright:
My question is if you and the other in-law are to pay for the mortuary expenses and the buying of the casket, what will all the man's uncountable children do!

.

I wonder o. No serious first son will allow in-laws to pay for his father's casket. Or the last abode in this world (the morgue). There are certain responsibilities a man should at least be able to bear for his departing father. No matter how irresponsible the father was.


@ OP / Blindangel, you sef waka o. You just chook your head in anyhow and chaotic family setting.

When you were straffing the lady, she was attractive enough then and govt/NAFDAC banned condom, abi?

There was no need shouting. At respect their solemnity despite the son saying rubbish.

Since you didn't want the marriage, your chance to move on has come. They can't force you to do burial.

But because of your child, do what you can. The late man is the child's grandfather after all. Forever.

The elders do not waste time in burying a man whose widow have a big bum bum.

Says a Ghanian proverb.

So that the coast can be clear.

Make man nor die for anybarry.

Nobody really loves you as you like to imagine.

Franking:
Barbed? There's no such word. Barbers cut hair they don't barb...

Oga, someone cannot invent a new word in peace again.

Lol.

You can bet your left blokos on it. Prices will always go up. No matter whether produced locally, imported or whichever way they sell it.

tunapawizzy:
nobody trust anybody for naija........ LG begged FG not give their money to State government again and give it directly to LG, now workers dun dey beg FG not give their money to LG and pass it directly to dem, t[b]he next level children of LG workers will beg FG to pay their own upkeep directly to them and not pay it through their fathers and mothers

This one off me.

Omoawoke:
Easy to say, when you face the psychological pressure of being the oldest person, calling kids of 16, colleagues and you can’t relate to their conversations.

I am not saying it’s not possible, it is, but I’m letting him see the reality of what he’s going for … no sugar coating

Uni kids are usually from 18, minimum 17 in most Western countries.

At 32, he has a goal, not to do teenage stuff with oyinbo kids. He will be too busy doing part-time work anyway.

Over 80% of immigrants who study abroad are mature students, above 21. We have seen it all.

Immigrants do cleaning and other menial jobs in their 20s or 30s to fund their healthcare and IT courses.

Valoromega:
I'm 32 this year and I'm looking to travel abroad to further my education.

I haven't gone to the university in Nigeria before but now I would like to further my education abroad( maybe Canada or any good European country).

Would this be possible or would be age affect me?

I need advice, thanks

You are still a boy sef.

Just choose a hot course. STEM. Graduate at 36 to 37 and you are good to go.

planetx:
Why did the death of such a good man and philanthropist like Dikembe Mutombo not make Frontpage on Nairaland in over a week, so we can pay condolence.

I guess he hand no scandalous life or slay queen wife.

Good things are boring. People hype and follow vanity.

RIP Dikembe.

Almunjid:
Why be say na only University of Dundee i dey see for your writeup? People wey graduate from that university dey know book?

Lol. Dundee and Aberdeen are key Scottish unis that offer Oil & Gas courses in UK. Due to the oil industry in off-shore Scotland. They are decent schools actually. Lots of 9ja people studied there.

True.

santaclaws:
Anymore ke? It has always been like that for as long as I can remember... We need to examine our value system, but hunger isn't allowing people think right.

My belle o.
At least when I was a kid, you dare not be seen in possession of a 1 Kobo coin with twin towers/like ECN powerline without a VERY good reason. Otherwise, you'd be in soup.

Yes, 9ja was once a better place with good values.

santaclaws:
Nigerians won't ask questions, they'll say you're a hater once you question the source...

Even someone who earns N1m monthly can't realistically save 15k daily, cos that's about 450k monthly. She might have a business, but even at that, you wouldn't open your piggy bank to show the whole world, so I calling this cap 🧢!

Nobody cares where you get your money anymore in 9ja. As long as you follow the golden rule: Don't be caught or outed.

Ok. What pvs.y cannot make simpsons do does not exist.

Make we give OP benefit of the doubt.

Ezennia101:
Please can we sincerely share this country once and for all let everyone rest .

If they share it, the elite will first sell bits in the boarder areas to Benin Republic, Niger and Cameroon and pocket the money.
Some people will wake up in the morning and suddenly become Cameroonians, Nigeriens and Beninese.

The remaining to share may be like 60% of the original 9ja.

Good gesture but sadly it most likely won't work.

She might use the money to buy smartphone and access hook-up sites even faster.

In fact, she will find one reason or the other to return to her hustle.

People ignored one part of the story: Her father wanted to marry her off, but she refused. She then probably "married for love". But it didn't cut it.

Now, her dad may have found a responsible man, may be not too flashy or young but responsible to take care of her.

Back in those days, our ancestors did that. But they said women were oppressed. Now that women choose who to marry, we have many divorcees who later turn ashawo.

It seems our ancestors were way wiser than us. Borrowed oyinbo wisdom seems to be failing us.

Benmsu:
Which kind yeye talk be this. You say person dey wanted the person show for your office you still leave am come dey talk grammar for media. Nawao

wickedclown:
I for like know this her boyfriend name... I Wan check something!!

The so-called 9ja bf, if indeed there is one, may not even be a 9ja person.

Otherwise, they would have happily printed the name the lady knows him by.

Afterall, the bf entered Brazil on a passport by air. Tracing at least the name can't be that difficult.

One American lady in Carolina locked her two young sons in a car pushed it into a lake in the 1990s.

She then reported to the police that she was carjacked by a black man and stole her car and sons inside. She described the robber to the police and they sketched an average black man with a Woolley hat. Thousands of young black men could have fitted that picture. American press/media went crazy. There was a bounty on the carjacker.

But a black police officer got suspicious. The story seemed strange. He checked out the traffic light stop where it allegedly happened.

Under pressure, she later confessed that she got rid of the boys because her bf didn't want any kids. She had the kids for another man previously.

Asked why she fingered a black man, she said the police would believe her far more if the suspect was a black person. And she was right but for the smart black police officer.

Equally, mentioning a Nigerian, even Nigerians will not ask for any evidence. Everyone believes it.

Nawa, people get mind

Why person go go dey rob olosho, people wey dey suffer to get their money

Person use body make money, another kpekelemex, from nowhere just decide sey na them, e wan ron

My brother na same, no matter part of the body you used to make the money.

Bricklayer using his hands or accountant using his/her brain to make money.

Fact is robbing other people of their belongings is a crime. If they used a gun or deadly weapon in the operation, life term in jail/death sentence is possible.

Even if you break into the house of a corrupt politician to steal money, na still crime.

Probz:
People don’t typically cook stew itself with ugu. Steamed veggies as a side can be ugu-laced, otherwise it’s vegetable sauce/Igbonised efo (riro), not stew as we normally know it.

To answer the question: try a combination of goose, ogazi (guinea-fowl) and torotoro (na turkey, na).

I have always eaten stew with sokoto yokoto and pumpkin leaves directly cooked with it. Since I can remember. To eat rice.

And by the way, some of my peers are grandparents already.

Yes, guinea fowl is by far the best poultry.

In my culture, only soup served at juju shrine does not add vegetable leaves. Others use green leaves.

None. Not a fan of white rice. Brown or Ofada rice better.

I would have liked to lick the fish stew but no pumpkin or other green leaves it in.

I pass.

Day169:
A disturbing statistic which threatens the very fabric of society.. the family.

Lol. Fabric wey don tear tear long ago.

Like 30% of 9ja couples nor even kukuma marry properly. That's the bigger problem. They just born kids together. The high failure rates among those co-habitants are not even captured in divorce figures.

LilNetty:
Please I need your candid advice.

My wedding is coming up in some months and I need your advice. My fiancé and her family are insisting on court wedding which I don’t want to object to. I should have moved on but she pregnant. What can I do?

The bolded is the key for me.

It appears she's not really the wife you want but for the pregnancy. You are not even keen on court wedding.

Even common wedding date is causing issues. You can't even put head together with the lady to fix a date. Two grown ass adults o.

Don't do what you will regret because baby is coming. Even the baby won't enjoy it the marriage turns toxic.

Think deep about it. Either way, na your cross to carry like everyone out there.

Good luck!
