It’s sad how the entire focus is now on the 2027 presidential election, which is still about two years away. Well, I’m not surprised — the man said he would continue from where his predecessor stopped.

Instead of focusing on how to move the country forward this crooks in power are more focused on wining (rigging) the 2027 presidential election. INEC is already doing their thing now, you were hear another story come 2027.

Any right-thinking person knows Tinubu does not mean well for Nigeria. He never did. For him, it’s all about holding the title of “President” and taking his share of the national cake.

This situation could have been prevented in 2023, but now it’s too late. We still have six more years to endure — so brace yourselves, well-meaning Nigerians.

True talk. We don't have to always wait on the government to defend ourselves from criminals – especially fulani herdsmens terrorists ravaging the homes and peace of the good people of the South East.

You people should leave Finland for us. No be everything una go cast oo abeg.

It's very bad here. No jobs, too much cold, the peace they tell you is the opposite oo, steady rubbing on every night walk. Make una face front abeg

Keep packing yourselves into UK please there is enough landmass to contain the whole Nigeria. Don't come here and mess things up for us.

Off point. You can't reason well again because of extremist tendencies. What a pity!!

Which one you? The atheist or moon watchers?

Atheist and those that wait on the dramatic moon reveal for their big celebrations have over run this thread.

I and my entire family Belong to Jesus and the dude wasn't wrong at all since he didn't make the statement "you" which is provoking or outrightly saying "accept Jesus."

If gayish hand bands should be allowed, this should also be allowed.

Love800:
An organize but outdated and bland interface. Petecostal is lively and modern.

You call it outdated, yet it’s the same structure that’s held together for over 2,000 years, influenced nations, preserved scripture, and shaped Christian doctrine. ‘Modern’ doesn’t always mean better — sometimes it just means louder. Depth doesn’t need drama.

lexy2014:
Is that what God cares about?

It is not the only thing God cares about but I know God cares about that too.

We all know Catholic is the most organized church in the world, the mother of all church.

APOPTOSIS:
So beating and smacking should still be entertained in marriage because the BIBLE does not approve of separation on such grounds except for cheating.🙆🏾‍♂️😭🙆🏾‍♂️😭🙆🏾‍♂️
Your statement has weakened me today
I'm truly disappointed and feel like leaving Nairaland permanently

A book humans wrote in Europe is controlling and ordering your steps in Africa. How do you feel so comfortable saying such a thing?

Do you think a book (holybook) written by Africans would be controlling Europeans and their culture this way?😭😭😭😭

Are you sure you read what I wrote properly? Or you are just one of those artheist who are hungry to reply any Christianity base opinion?

I said "divorce" showing be an option not "separation." They can seperate but not divorce until one party cheats. This is my opinion based on what I believe in.

The death sentence is too much in my opinion. I don't think there is any solid evidence to prove he killed her but being the cause of his death, 10-15 yrs imprisonment is okay. Reason is he has kids.

There mom is gone. Loosing their Dad too would be too much for them to bear.
For the sake of the children this is not suppose to happen. Unless the children have given consent for this to happen which I'm not sure they approved.

BecomeALandLord:
You see why I don't blame 2face for walking away.
Once it's no longer working, it's best to go separate ways than all this domestic violence & regrets later on .
I'm sure the man is full of regrets by now .

This is fully supported. But until cheating occurs from one party otherwise divorce shouldn't happen. Speaking biblically.

Igbo amaka!

webizone:
I hear you o. But I want to ask, what of those that are building for renting because of their age? Those that are building because they want to retire on it especially if they get old that they can't make money any other way? What do these do?

Unless the person is above 70 if not he/she can still take this option. The business ain't even healthy for an old man. Anything that would tamper with your peace should be rejected.

Xannadu:
Na me want feed your family before?

No it ain't about that, it's about being quick to run into conclusions.

Originalsly:
Let's chew on this. If you build and sell a house ...you have cash ... money dropped in the bank.no asset. If you build and rent ...you have cash ..it keeps coming ...and you have asset. Let's say after ten years of rent ... you have the same amount of cash than you would've sold the house for ...plus ..you still have the house. At this point ...the Naira depreciated a whole lot... the money you have stashed in the bank is barely enough for the foundation of a house. Meanwhile ...if you kept the house..that property value has gone through the roof ...and so has the rent. I do get it with bad tenants...but regardless...the actual rent will mostly be out back into maintenance of the house.

My advice is to build and rent...the difference is to whom? Not locals ...unless it's a company or rich person. I believe one will be better off to furnish the house and rent to overseas based people ...like families or persons on vacation ....return for occasions as in weddings..funerals ... people who are used to the amenities and are more likely to not do damage but more importantly....will stay for maybe a week and pay you the equivalent of at least a month's rent. Locals may need a place for the same situations...but you have to be verrry careful and due diligence is a must

There is no how property rentals will be more profitable than building and selling. Trust me I have been in this for too long to know.

I know people who build houses with 50M and sell for 130M and more within a year.

80X10=800M

There is no how you will build a house for 50M and sell for 800M gain in 10 yrs in today's Nigeria. Selling will be damn hard.

Come to think of it, is the troubles worth it? Not to talk of the numerous renovations you have to do (tenants calling you up), your precious time – plus renovation to sell.

The bottom line is, someone who want to attain success fast would take the build and sell option because it would raise capital for you to venture into other business, you attain success faster than the guy that decides to endanger his peace for peanuts in the name of rent.

Penny wise pound foolish. I know better man.

Xannadu:
Says someone who's probably squatting with his friend in a face me I face you apartment, or still living with his parents.

Mehn! How you guys just run to make conclusion is baffling. I won't start listing my achievements for you but this is what I will tell you – I am the one currently feeding my entire immediate family. Ponder on this well before you reply me.

Coder2Client:
You don't make any sense at all.

And you still didn't make sense by proving how I made no sense.

Mrexcell:
If you don't build others will definitely build all tenants are not the same and every landlord doesn't have ur experience. Where do u expect millions of people who don't have their own houses to stay if investors don't invest their money in building houses for rent? Where will u or ur parents would have lived to save money to build a house if someone didn't build a house to rent out?

If no one builds, every one will be forced to build batcher and live in it until they are bouyant enough.

Well, you don't have to take my advice, the advice is for those that value their time & peace of mind and also want to attain success faster.

One of the worst businesses you can do in Nigeria today is renting houses. It’s better to build and sell because renting is no longer a profitable business — it’s full of problems.

Honestly, I don't even know why people still build houses for rent nowadays. People are wicked, and humans are very difficult to deal with. If you own a house, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Some tenants, before paying you, will still stress you. Fact is, you don't put your hope on such money. Don't try it because you will be disappointed to stupor.

And if you are living with your tenants, just forget it — "see finish" will surely set in.

If you're also the type that interacts and smiles with them a lot, sorry is your name.

The best thing nowadays is to build and sell.

Think about it: if you build a house for tenants with ₦15 million, you might not be able to rent it out for more than ₦2 million a year. It will take you 7 years just to recover your building cost.

And after that seven years is gone, a lot of things would have worn out and you'd have to renovate before you sell – a total waste of time and scarce funds.

But if you build and put up for sell immediately, you could double your money in about 2 years (if you have good marketers/agents) — sometimes even faster. Not to even mention the numerous court cases and troubles like this that come with having tenants.

Property Rental Business is a very shitty and frustrating business. This is the last type of business I will ever do.

Some tenants will deliberately destroy things before moving out — not because they can't afford to pay, but just out of wickedness simply because they feel you don't deserve the money they pay you.

If you ain't ready for any court case and If you value your peace of mind, then avoid it completely.

If you're thinking of building a house for rent, my brother, come out from that road — there’s no light at the end oo! You're only planning to fall into a deep ditch.

I'm speaking from experience — based on everything I have seen my mum pass through while running property rental for the past twenty years alongside her family.

NiceLegs:
Is Software Development skill relevant in UK?

Somebody in UK said I should not learn it if I want to come to UK.

That I should go and learn Caregiving

All I will tell you is that the person doesn't like you. Someone I know that dropped computer science because he was talked out of it by a family member in US is bitterly regretting now.

Skudi:
The way you people are clamouring for Obi to be president as if he would turn Nigeria to American.it should be noted that Nigeria can never be progress economically even if Jesus becomes the president cos of the ills of the past...
Obi is not a magician and he can't do more than what Jagaban has done.
Obi is a coward and doesn't have the mental strength to lead Nigeria to the promise land.

For you to add Jesus into this Yama Yama statement of yours says a lot about you. Your ignorance is oozing.

Offpointng:
What is CS/IT

Computer science or information technology

Thank God I got one — Computer Science to the world! If you're a young guy with love for tech, my brother, go for CS/IT. You won't regret it.

If you're good at it and you mistakenly travel out of Nigeria, companies will be dragging you like Tiger generator — no jokes. I'm speaking from experience.

TechCapon:
he lost Putin's respect and frankly the respect of the world when he brought in nonsense LGBT rubbish into the catholic church.. saying gay marriages are allowed inside the church. How will Putin respect such a person?

Bro don't shift goal post. He lost my respect too after that very move but you and I know that's not actual reason Putin won't be attending. Kremlin has told you themselves.

Walai:
Can someone give me at least one convincing reason to get married apart from children (I can get any number of children without getting married) and sex (the cheapest commodity right now) ?

Because My God said it's a sin to continue having sex and bearing children outside marriage. This is the only reason I might consider marriage tomorrow.

Basicend:
For the first time, I am liking Atiku for being bold. He is the only opposing politician in Nigeria that is giving Tinubu raw watowato everytime.

Peter Obi is always mild, seemingly afraid and curny with use of his words, even at critical situations.

The only thing that makes me so scared of Atiku are his thievery tendencies.

Salute to him on this one.

I will do what Peter Obi is doing if I were in his position. Reason is, when it comes to Igbos it's always different. If Peter Obi has said this now there would be Uproar everywhere.

Bayo Onanuga and Daniel Bwala would have been preparing a counter-response right now.

Ministers like Wike and the likes will suddenly find their voice. Ronu online branch will be doing their thing and immediately paint it tribal.

Dude you and I know Nigeria never remained the same after war. With the Igbos being the most affected.

The country would have come forward but only if they not become dedicated and with what is going on right now it's obvious the politicians don't want their citizens to get educated.

The solution is disintegration. We all can still be good neighbors and be saying high from afar.

It's not because he said it. I have actually had this thought before.

fredoooooo:
So obi still believe in INEC? Reality always set Lp.and obituarists brain to factory resets after wailing, crying and abusing

Not because he does, he's just doing it because it's the only channel available and simply because he has no option. If they were other organization available I believe he would have trashed it.

ComeToJesus:
Awesome. It's heartwarming to read humane and relatable stuff like this here. The bulk of pedestrians here are irritants and nonentities that are fueled by toxic energy.

God bless you

Bless you too.. 🙂

I knew this would happen. I saw this coming. When power jam power, one must surely bow — whether right or wrong. Let them go and sin no more.

Truth is — Africa’s redemption will never come from outsiders. Only Africans can save Africa.

The day Mama Africa rises with one voice and boldly declares “Enough is enough” — that day will mark the beginning of true freedom.

But the real question remains…

Who is willing to stand at the front line? Who is willing to pay the ultimate price?

Until we raise selfless, God-fearing leaders with genuine love and conscience for their people — the cycle continues.

Africa’s future belongs to Africans — but only the brave will shape it.
