Not true, N 100 in 79 wasn't a lot of money.

Nor mind them. My cousin bought a Yamaha 80 motorbike in late 1978 for 600 Naira. They think everyone is GenZ.

The house must have been FG give away for civil servants only.

I knew people just slightly ahead of her hubby in diplomatic service. They retired around 1982 to 1986. Some used their gratuity and savings to start a small hotel. To keep them busy in retirement.

Lorddominic:
Wetin carry DSS officers come here? Who are they guarding? The Chief of Air Staff?

Apparently, they are from DMI. Directorate of Military Intelligence.

Love800:
I want to know.

Do the police have a defence academy like the army, air,navy?

Or police is just ordinarily recruiting from the streets!

We have Police College Ikeja.

But Nigeria Police Academy is in Kano. They award degrees in Law, Science, Computer Science, Accounting, Management, etc.

On paper we have everything. But dudu seems to struggle to make public bodies excel.

We seem to only excel individually, but a tree cannot make a forest.

This is a very good development. Am))ong others things, wrong mentality is one of our biggest problem. God created you as Nigerian, your mindset should be how to make Nigeria great not how to become US citizen.

God did not create anybody as Nigerian. Lord Lugard and his OS manufactured the name. The British first made the area The Royal Niger Company. A piece real state like Obasanjo Farms or Okomu oil.

By your logic, God made Mr Trump's grandfather (Herr Friedrich Drumpf) and his mother, Mary Anne McLeod, a Scottish woman, but they didn't stay in Europe. They went to America. If his ancestors left Europe for a better life, why can't Nigerians leave herdsmen, corrupt politicians, kidnappers, jihadists and bandits behind for a better life in US like Trump's ancestors?

Did your ancestors agree to share a country with herdsmen and be called Nigerians? Mine didn't.

It's an illusion to say God did it. were Lugard and his OS God's messengers?

By the time this war is ended, Ukraine will need to see how to accelerate its population growth.

They should pack people from Igbo Ora in Oyo. Soon, twins go full everywhere in Ukraine.

matify83:
The remains was found close to where he was last seen and he remained missing for all this 6 months.

No smell to draw the attention of villagers or passerbys until he became a skeleton?

This is super story......

And police didn't use dog to search the area back in June?

Mankind was in denial.

Too much romanticism.

thomas2024:
Dear Sir, for a start, like how many acres do you think will be sustainable to start with when it comes to oil palm and coconut?

It depends on your resources and support system. It's good to have a large piece of land where you can expand over time, instead of farming in different locations. Consider the safety of the locality too.

It's wise to begin with a few acres, if you are new to it, as a learning curve.
Is it full-time or part-time job? How far are you from the farm location? Anyone with experience to guide you?

My advice, visit an oil palm farm/coconut farmer and understudy them. Every business has some secretes. Learn about the potential pitfalls before you start.

Sageez:
I plan getting a land next year to set up either Oil palm plantation or coconut plantation.

Please farmers in the house and those experienced in this, which is more profitable?

Oil palm, Sir.

Look around if you can get Super Gene breed. It's short, starts fruiting earlier and yield is high.

Even the regular Tenera is still good.

But if your land size is massive and you have the funding, you can try a couple of acres of coconut alongside oil palm.

SmartPolician:
You worked with a man for 8 years! How else are you supposed to know him?

Professor Osinbajo would've made an excellent president

The crude 9ja politics does not want polished gentlemen as leaders.
So, the system is as it is.

His mother is Yoruba, Ghanaians have strong Affiliation with Yoruba land, even their biggest market has a Yoruba name

His stepmother is from Offa. He once lived there, at a time when things were a bit tough for his family.

He is one of Oloffa's chiefs.

Another dies abroad.. Nigeria is just a cemetery to them..


Build good hospitals here.. NO
Build good roads.. No
Provide Good Security.. NO.

Well Rest in peace.

Let somebody who will do all the above come to power.. Still NO

RIP to the dead.

hotwax:
When he was alive, this one will be thinking he won't die because he is powerful.

Humans will always die. Power is not forever

Our people up North take death differently.
They don't even delay burying the dead.

Wonder why some people even wish to die a martyr?

Na for South we dey take death like big thing. Not to say anybody wants to die, but they take it up there better, that it's God's will than in the South.

RIP to the ex-CJN.

Ofunaofu:
I don’t think they need to obtain the consent of anyone.
They only approached the Supreme Court to interpret the law and determine whether the President has the power to suspend democratically elected governors and members of a State House of Assembly.

However, from what I can deduce here and to the chagrin of everyone the Supreme Court supports the president action describing it as “extraordinary measure to restore peace and order.”

This is very dangerous

This implies that the President can instigate chaos and anarchy in a State he doesn't like the governor by empowering certain individuals, as Wike was empowered to instigate a crisis in Rivers State and then suspend a democratically elected governor under the guise of restoring peace and order through an 'extraordinary measure.'

A wise man once said " When tyranny comes to town, it comes under the guise of protecting law and order."

So, the army are sitting ducks in their barracks nowadays, bah?

Not engaging the goons in their camps and hideouts?

We are celebrating repelling jihadists from a fortified army base that should be heavily armed?

What if the system has decided to hide the casualty suffered on military side for propaganda?

Host78:
One thing I've come to understand is all men eventually realize this.

Some wey dey carry their mama for head go later realise say them go dey the same situation as their father one day.

Every hustle for mama is sweet to type.

Until all your own children start typing and showing the same thing.

Every guy complaining here neglected their own father's, are neglecting their father's or planning to.

Until their children start doing the same thing.

Your wife or sister will give birth and instead of nanny, you'll carry your mother, leaving your father all alone.

Your mother will spend not 1 month, not 2 or 3 but might stay one or two years doing omugwo and you don't care how your father is faring.

Men by all means are the enablers of their fathers loneliness and neglect in old age.

And they don't care until they understand that they will be in the same position later in life.

And it won't matter how much you loved your wife or the kids.

See young guys today. All they say is "the hustle is for mama"

And they don't bother to think "how will my own kids say or behave any different?"

The family is not for men until young men start reflecting on their behaviors.

I wonder why men can be so foolish to ignore their fathers. Since childhood, I always realised dad's heroism and patience. It baffles me that sons don't see that.

People are saying treat your wife well.

As a young man, husband and father, you must be out there struggling to earn a living. To provide and raise the family. You will most naturally be absent most of the day as you hustle.

Monogamy is dealing with men too. In the past, a man of 69 might still have a wife as young as 37.
So throughout his life, there will be a spouse and teenagers present. Not only a woman of 66 who is only interested in doing omugo up and down.

As we copy oyinbo monogamy, we must remember we have no care homes or social safety system of the West in old age.

What is the benefit of polygamy for the senior wife? The younger co-wife and her kids become the helpers to the man and the elderly wife. Because the senior kids will have married and left home.

Otherwise, with one wife and 2.35 kids on average, every man lucky enough to live into old age will suffer it. Even money alone can't solve, though it helps.

No matter a man's sacrifices, in old age, OYO. Darkie copy oyinbo without thinking deep.

Also, if we reference Lalami321, if some of the kids are not yours to begin with. No connection.

Person chop 61k food for one nigbt, if you go out like 5 times you would have spent 450k. I'm sure this isn't the only girl he takes out. Simp wasting money on meaningless things.

Petrol or Uber price never join o.

Has he ever taken his parent(s) to a restaurant before?

I woke up one day and told late dad "we are going to eat out at lunchtime". He was surprised and reluctantly came along. Yes, I did not want to be mumu wey nor take parent to restaurant but lavish on gluttonous girls.

AlphaBoy:
Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.

There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.

But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.

One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”

Yes, you are over-thinking Mr Thinker. You have delayed shooting your shot for too long.

Think of the following: If you dive in and your relationship fails, the friendship will be gone too.
How many years/months away from graduation are you? if more years to go, losing her friendship might affect you emotionally. Reason is you seem like a gentle/sensitive person.

Probably best to remain just cool friends.

Unless you can see your romance going very far, and her plans for the future align with yours.

And none of you has the tribal issues/incompatibility that can eventually cause problems when already deep in the relationship.

If the coast is clear, ask her about her feelings towards you. That way, no more JAMB question.

Good luck!

I have nothing against the first lady. But our Obas need to be very careful.

You cannot be openly romancing the govt in power or proxy, even if you support the govt.
It's part of maintaining the sanctity of their revered stolls.

Such titles can wait until her hubby has left office.

That Miss wearing Ankara bubu be like: just negodu.

Jonathan would been the best for this country. Good man long live. Anytime anyday I owe u my vote

Please, don't encourage him. A good name is better than gold and silver.

God rescued him from the lion's den. He should not go back. The country is 20 times worse than in 2015. The poo to pack now is too heavy. GEJ shouldn't have to do it.

Haba! This can't be true. Your house cannot be burning and you're chasing cockroach.

They should not go and crash jet inside another man's country.

NORTHERN REGION IS AN ECONOMIC PARASITE AND A POLITICAL TERRORISTS REGION ON NSOUTHERN REGION
MAJOR GIDEON ORKAR WAS RIGHT .... SEPERATE THE CORE NORTH FROM NIGERIA

Orkar was premature in stating his goal. He might have succeeded if it was now. But in 1991, too many Southerners and Middle-Belters were still very blind. So, he lost support among the military.

SpencerForbes:
Women are actually drinking more alcohol than their men in the South-South and South-west😂

I think population size is the only thing preventing them from officially leading the whole country in consumption. If not for that, the South-South and South-East would have bagged the medal already.

States like Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, and Bayelsa especially... trust me, they absolutely do not play with their liquor down there 🙌The consumption levels are serious business.

Look well, it says PER 1,000 population. It's the best relative comparison irrespective of overall population of any region. Population size has no relevance here.

Nature is amazing. To imagine they have been doing this for thousands of years.
I hope wildlife people can protect them. And avoid human-wildlife conflicts.

Mr Trump forgets that America's key strength lies in its ability to rely on Europe and other Western-style democracies.

America earned that respect and co-operation through much WWII sacrifice and leadership since.

No country, no matter how powerful, can go it alone. Europeans are patient in the knowledge that Trump's govt will end in a few years. But, they now know that USA is no more the reliable big brother.

The Europeans have been too complacent though. Merkel and Macron acknowledged that several years ago.

Africa, especially 9ja, should know that in world politics, it's OYO. We should not put Middle Eastern issues on our head. If the table were turned, nobody would speak for us. We can't remain a cheap source of vital raw materials only. We must grow and develop to make life better for our people.

When you are doing well at home, outsiders (including the West) will respect you.

Are you just waking up or you want to settle scores with him?

Your sheikh Gumi that has been terrorist advocate for almost a decade had never been called out by any group in the North.
Although you have a point, but selective justice has brought Nigeria to it's current knees.
We need wholistic approach to issues biko

They want the man to die in detention. He knows too much.

Same way they killed Yusufu. Because the BK leader might have been persuaded or tortured to confess BK details and sponsors.

If FG is serious, DSS should provide this man maximum security.

Racoon:
Humn! Sultan as Nigerian army officer like Shiek Ahmad Gumi that retired as a captain) are all opposing annihilation of BH terrorists. Yet people expect Islamic terrorism to end?

So, you mean Gumi was an army captain before?

So, boys (fresh from NDA) he once commanded might be senior officers as we speak?

Wow!
