These ladies could have been anybody's wife, girlfriend, sister, friend or relative in many parts of Africa.

Most of our women nor too get level like that, especially with oyinbo, or rich men. Only few are ok.

Even some from so-called good homes or are religious.

We men just expect too much from our women, they are not all that.

Their sexual behaviour outside will shock you.

The Iconic Generation was the first one. Zidane, Ronaldo,Ronaldinho was the best generation because there was so many good players that could replace them, we are talking about Pavel Nedved, Trezeguet , Inzaghi, Raul, Beckham,Bergkamp,
Kluivert,Seedorf, Edgar Davids,Rivaldo, Alexander Del Piero, Gianluigi Buffon, Steven Gerrard, Lampard, Drogba, Patrick Viera, Kanu Nwankwo,Jay Jay Okocha,Robinho, Juninho Pernambucano, El hadji Diouf,khalilou fadigha, Papé Cisse,Omar Daf, Ibrahimovic, Samuel Eto, Thierry Henry.... hundreds of legends in that generation..

You forgot Figo.

Football was packed with true footballers.

Good. But you forgot the biggest part. Poverty.

With so many poor people, they just want a full belly, if at all possible. The quality is immaterial.

By and large, those better off financially have access to better food, the best local and foreign health care, etc.

Baba Iyabo, Jack Gowon and many others are still waxing strong. IBB might not be alive today if he was a poor person.

Also, remember that average life expectancy takes child and maternally mortality into consideration.

Canadians have few kids and the vast majority survive. Maternal mortality is very low.

Whereas, "We Hail Thee" is world champion in these categories.

If you nor strong, nor go near dating oyinbo.
Oyinbo fit change any minute. Just be prepared.

Ako or Igberi.

Pepper fruit to kids of nowadays.

Yes we know, meanwhile have you asked your government why it is not spending 7% or more of our GDP on healthcare?

Or did the person you quoted read anywhere about how several hospitals first refused to admit him. Or how there was nobody to pay hospital deposit as his wife was away in Nigeria, hence his treatment was delayed. Many of our people signed a contract with poverty and poor governance. Let them enjoy 9ja of their dream as it is now.

Feldie:
How come she didn't have 600 Naira for bike? She's not ripe for marriage yet. The boy should be arrested for assault if he struck her though. He could have let her into the store and collect the money at least he knows her and it's not a case of robbery or theft

Don't believe the entitled broke lady's story. If at all the story ever happened.

She must have looked down so much on the salesboy and manhandled him as he tried to prevent her entering the shop. No salesboy will just slap a lady for no reason as she puts it.

Her anger is that her fiance did not punish the salesboy just based on her skewed story.

The guy knows what an asset the salesboy is. The woman on the other hand is a net liability, up to N600 bike money. The man is very wise. He must already know the woman's temperament.

Do you know the punishment the salesboy might have suffered in the past for minor errors?

What if the master refuses to settle nwa boyi after 7 years, citing that N600 among his lapses?

What about waiting in the shop for the fiance to return? A woman without N600 bike money wants to marry?

There are two main barriers to and and in the army.

First is to enter in the first place. Second is to rise above Colonel position.

I have seen the finest, brightest and fittest people denied entry, especially in SSC ones and NDA.

One fine and smart lady who was refused SSC despite scoring one of the highest marks in all areas tested, later travelled abroad. She's doing very well there.

She had nobody of the rank of a Brigadier-General or equivalent to recommend her. An insider told her very clearly.

correctguy101:
How? Why should you, a man care about such mundane matters?

What exactly do you want or expect from today's woman? Do you as a man believe you'll only get it by becoming a "married man?"

What's the gain of a man in all these relationships with women?

As for the OP, how on earth did the woman have access to the papers of his property to sell it of gbanjo price? Even if the account sounds somehow, e fit happen as some men no geh sense. Woman wey don born before, wey you meet online, you go come trust such strange principality with ya important documents?

They should goan sidon one place abeg...

Not the property. She cleared the property in the house. I guess TVs, sofas, freezers, etc.

The lady na Anini in disguise.

Dude, the guy you quoted is not supporting women here.

He is saying that modern woman don't want to take responsibility. If as a man you fall victim, women and most men will still find a way to blame you. My opinion and yours won't change it. In 9ja of now, the victim takes the blame. We don sink very low.

Every dude should look after himself, because he is on his own,

Seeing Owerri and student----was enough for me.

At times, we fail to accept how our people really are, from whatever tribe. At least, better he found out early.

The girl's plan was to get abroad, bring her ex or baby father into the UK, and kick out the UK man.

Very sad.

Seeplusplus:
Atiku go still lose next year. E sure me die.

Atiku is a Fulani but he's politically shortsighted like the average igbo politician. May be it's because he's friends with them.

In 2015, instead of Atiku to queue behind Goodluck and support his reelection with an agreement that Goodluck will support him when he finishes his tenure, naive Atiku allowed Tinubu used his dumb head to go form APC, not knowing that Tinubu and Buhari already had an agreement.

In 2023, instead of Atiku to do everything possible to have Obi on his side, again, he allowed the useless man to split votes and allowed Tinubu easy access to the presidential villa

Obi, on the other hand, instead of him to maintain his position as a running mate to Atiku and build his network if he gets to Aso Rock, he foolishly allowed the social media hype get to him. Both men lost, even though their votes combined could have been enough to make them win.

All of a sudden, the two shortsighted folks now want to work together to defeat a sitting president, something they know is nearly impossible, especially because of how desperate the person they are up against is

If igbos don't rule Nigeria in the next 30 years, blame it on Obi. He's too shortsighted politically, same as Atiku.

And that is where Tinubu has an edge over them. He carefully calculates his move before he makes them, unlike Atiku and Obi that just jump at anything out of desperation for power.

Useless men

True, Atiku is not strategic enough. But it's not that easy.

Obi left PDP because Wike thought he would get the VP ticket. Obi knew with Wike lobbying so hard, with so much money, Obi left.

Fact is Atiku is not politically savvy enough.

always247:
if our guy refuse to give her shishi she will begin to respect him

Or rough him up streetwise?

The girl na OS. Nor play with such girls.

Pay her for job done. She said she came for the 10k.

No other client offered her more this past New Year's Eve. Someone did back in 2024.

Kalulu44:
And answering your first quotes, I don't have the power or time to convince someone that doesn't know more than tiktok and video viewing websites.
She's not into news and nairaland I honestly guess will be boring for her.
And did you also forget I said her friend told me it's a man she went to see those missing days, so what is she coming to share here if at all she comes on this platform

Nor call nobarry to no Nairaland, dude!

Send the OS her 10k.

I hope you used condom. Otherwise run full STI test at the right time. Please wear CD till then.

Gee! The kind of girl you stick your WMD into. Na wa o.

Why would you continue chatting with a girl like that for 12 months? Just for a single hit?

MarketDispatch:
Your mumu gf use mumu story collect your 200k chop and you call yourself wise.

OP is very funny.

He better be sure the guy the "gf" said can give job, is not her real bf.

Dem fit both collabo scam the guy. Why could OP not go and handover the money along with the girl?

Nothing woman no fit do.

Adam wey think say he wise, e nor see devil koro koro.

Eve saw devil, she dey gidigba.

Ashawoman82:
Bro one thing u don't know about desperate poor girls in need is that they never love, they only try to survive, trust me I have been there.. Let's avoid very poor girls as men, they can't love u and u won't blame them, one has to survive and afford the basics before thinking of love... I had one like that, an orphan and all, very cute girl, her billing no be here, I don't blame her but I can't cope, omo the babe was draining me literally I had to give myself brain....

Word on marble.

Poor people in general are on survival mode. Especially in developing countries without any social safety net. Most will grab as much as they can. Sadly, it's a widespread poverty mode.

Once acquired, people retain it lifelong. Even if they become ministers or senators. The fear of poverty and the desire to always have enough become ingrained in the psyche.

Eniitankorede:
You could have just pretended you don’t have money for a month and see her reaction. That’s better than your sudden breakup.

Well, it will be as if she left him.

No, far better like this. She can go meet her bad mates to give her a high-spending sugar daddy.

Goodmarlian:
My instincts says otherwise, she had start seeing me as a fool and Atm from experience if a woman starts seeing you as Atm it also means she has lost respect for you.

She only showed her true colour. They always do once they feel they have you wrapped around their little finger.

Later on in life, she's the type that will ask "are you the first to support a lady at school? Were you not sleeping with me?"

Every lady who asks the latter reveals her OS mentality, and it's about 90% of them. I exclude none, friends or relatives who express such.

Point of note and quote on marble:

"ADC is a party where the son/daughter of NOBODY can become SOMEBODY without knowing ANYBODY"

Dude, every Nigerian is SOMEBODY by right. You don't have to acquire wealth or status to become SOMEBODY.

Yes, I know where (who) the famous quote originally came from. That was a different era. Today, whatever our status, we're SOMEBODY. Thank you.

Happy New Year in advance!

oz4real83:
This is the treatment you get from most businesses in Nigeria, whether public or private. This is just because regulators and agencies responsible for punishing defaulters just get paid for doing nothing

Let's face the truth. It shows that when dealing with people who are not our friends, family and big men, we are not very good people.

Dishonesty and greed are very common traits.

This kind of attitude leads to airline failure. No passengers, no business.

Teymanhenry:
Look at Nigeria carefully, not emotionally. One of the quiet forces shaping religious numbers isn’t preaching, miracles, or debates—it’s demography.
In many Muslim communities, polygamy is normal and accepted. One man, two, three, sometimes four wives. Naturally, that means more households, more children, more rapid multiplication. It’s not addition; it’s compound growth.
On the other hand, Christianity largely promotes monogamy—one man, one wife. Growth here is mostly by addition, not multiplication. Two parents, a few children, and that’s it.
So while Christians are often busy arguing doctrine, Muslims are quietly expanding their numbers at home. No noise. No controversy. Just biology and culture doing the work.
Does this mean Islam will “dominate” Christianity? Not automatically. Numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Education, urbanization, personal belief, and conversion still matter. But ignoring population dynamics is like ignoring the engine while arguing about the paint color.
It’s not an insult. It’s not fear-mongering. It’s just a conversation about reality.
And the uncomfortable truth is this:
Growth favors systems that multiply faster.
Whether Christianity responds with strategy, adaptation, or simply awareness—that’s another conversation entirely.

The story of Lebanon should easily answer this. It was a majority Christian country until less than 60 years ago. Its capital, Beirut, used to be called Paris of the Middle East. See where it is today.

The man is speaking the mind of many up North.

Though to be honest, herdsmen are not ghosts. They must have families and friends, like anyone else.

It's herdsmen who rear the cows we eat down South. So, we must tease them apart, the legit and criminal elements.

At this point, Southerners should know that North and South are totally different.

Each should be allowed to choose their paths to the future.

kingthreat:
One thing i have learnt is that people change. That untrustworthy friend that duped him was once a reliable guy.

The werey was never reliable. He just didn't have the chance to show his stupidity.

You don't really know anyone until you have tried them with money.

Look at the woman someone calls mother.

Some women are not fit to be called mother,

Tufiakwa.

If it was my birther, I would have long outed her.

Tharmon:
Good day nairalanders, so I plan on going to the University next year to study Economics but I wrote art subjects in waec..I wanted to study law/political science but I am switching to economics now.

The issue is I want to write GCE next year only writing economics as I feel it the only missing piece in my weac to study the course. Is it possible? Will I have to write commerce and all those commercial subjects?

Thank you

Edit: I will be using two sitting

Econs is a selective course.

Having Maths, English, Econs plus two good subjects like Agric, Biology, Commerce, Geography in one WAEC/NECO sitting, will be advantageous.

Combining subjects may not be good. They may end up pushing you to Sociology.

Be sure that your Maths is top top.

Something they did Kemi Adeosun dirty.

He could have stopped playing balls hence the spill.

The bolded is assuming you don't talk in your sleep o. I once visited a guy who talks in his sleep. Oh boy, I heard many things o. He previously mentioned them superficially. But in his sleep, the details nor be here.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Only Olu Jacobs and Pete are on their own class

Mazi Edochie is good in every role, but Igwe is not his kind of role. King role is too gentle for him.

Olu Jacobs and Alex Usifo pull it off better, in terms of role interpretation.

Although Enebeli Elebuwa seemed born into the role.

RealLordZeus:
Yes the man is very wicked for marrying seven wives a d the wives are very saintly for accepting the marriage

Tell me Kobo, wetin be the name of the guy that actually offend you?

In the Kobo Alternate Universe (KAU), it's a taboo for women to take responsibility for anything. They are angels. It's the wicked late dude that coerced full grown ass women into marriage. As the handsome and rich kinda "Denzel Washington" abi "Usher Raymond" that he was.

RIP dude.

nairalanda1:
Because they wanted to ride popular opposition against subsidy to get into power later on.

Subsidy removal has been unpopular in nigeria...even the dreaded Abacha never contemplated removing fuel subsidy...so GEJ's attempt to remove it led to people protesting, and Buhari and Tinubu saw an opportunity to garner popularity.

As you may know, most Nigerians were not seeing what government was seeing then. Subsidy costs, in 2011 were triple those in 2010. (Oshiomole, who as a governor had access to the official records on subsidy spending, was one of the few oppositon leaders to oppose subsidy retention and support its removal because he had information most did not). AM sure buhari and tinubu knew..but because they wanted to get into power, they played the game, and won.

Naturally, retaining subsidy forced us into serious fiscal problems, which buhari tried to hold at bay with borrowing and printing money, and misusing ways and means. By August 2022, the chickens had come home to roost.

Some like me had no access to privileged information, but we still knew it was the right thing to do.
You nailed it that it was a political game.
Buhari and APC won. But Nigeria and Nigerians? Pure losers in all ramifications.

nairalanda1:
Subsidy removal freed up money, yes , but it did not raise overall income. It just reduced the amount of present income that we spent on subsidy.

The problem with Nigeria is that our economy is so wack and unproductive and government revenue generation is also wack and then there is corruption that budgets have really not been fit for purpose for decades.

That's why I keep shouting that our problem is resource dependent economy, and the need to make it a productive economy

That is where apc is failing and why tinubu is failing.

Subsidy removal happened because available revenue was being eaten up by debt service resulting from loans taken to replace the subsidy hole in the budget over the years to the point that there was no money for anything, including the subsidy itself

We were warned as early as 1993 that that would happen if we kept subsidy

OK. But why did those now in power oppose GEJ's subsidy removal a decade earlier?

yesloaded:
Do you know how much it cost to raise a chicken from day old till maturity?

Are you telling us that government delayed salaries to prevent them from buying expensive chicken?

😂

Many have never planted maize, never mind raising livestock. Chickens only eat and poop. That's their two jobs. To feed livestock is not a joke.

vicfajeze:
So Police still dey follow VIP's?Na greediness kill them.Anyways, rest in peace

Na the police man rank surprise me. A DSP. The rank of a captain in the army as an outrider. Na wa o.

Too many mid-level officers are doing guard and escort jobs. After around 35 years in the police, the man was still doing outrider. They didn't pity his age. He would have been around 58 to 60 at least.

RIP to him.

Love800:
Thanks so much.

I don't understand your last two paragraphs.

My last question. So after graduating from the institution, they will be called police?

Of course, they will be like graduates recruited into the police. ASP officers. They rise more steadily through the ranks, just like army guys start from Sub-lieutenant rank when they leave NDA.
