NewHe:
But Obi goofed!

How did Obi goof?

Ofunaofu:
The Tinubu regime has totally lost it all.

Imagine!

A wobbling presidential re-election campaign with no direction, armed with its MADness Agenda after the failed Renewed Hope Agenda, is busy responding to what Peter Obi said or didn’t say

As in eh. Misplaced priorities

This isn't a good way to foster your children's relationship with their grandparents even though yours didn't work out with them as a teen.

Growing up comes with maturity. These are the people who literally brought you to this world and you are stuck with them for life whether they are good or bad. It's never late for you to change the narrative even if not for you, at least for the sake of your children.

After all these years and you still bear grudges against your parents in your adulthood, then you need to seek spiritual help my brother.

My elder sister is in this bracket. Still resents my mum even at over 40 years. Lol all for what? You're resenting someone who has lived her life while yours has barely got started. I find this amusing.

Its only a matter of time their kids do the same thing to them.

spiceadole:
No, I did not and I still do not have a good relationship with them.

My father was tough , abusive and extremely malicious.. made it clear he wasn't my friend or mate. The only time I could stay even 1 minute close to him was either he was beating me or verbally abusing me.

My mother was excessively judgemental and annoyingly over religious. She also believed I was a child and never had a say.

I left home as a teenager to university and stayed away for 3 years.. didn't visit and they didn't bother.
They didn't attend my matriculation, induction and convocation.
I learnt how to celebrate my wins alone.
First picture I took with my parents was during my wedding.
My siblings and I never had one family picture with them.

Today, I just send money when I want to. We still don't relate.
I don't know how to talk to/gist with them especially my father. My children do not know them.

I haven't spoken to my mum in 3 months and my dad in 11 months. I try not to pick his calls because we have nothing to discuss.
It's too late to begin building a relationship.

I sighed heavily when reading this from the beginning to the end. I thought my family was was wired differently.

My God .

BENEAMATA:
who get pot , gas , curry and garri to make eba ni . Yo ! Leave my Naija brother make he chop .

Nastrademus:
I don't like their meat, their bones are too soft

Yo! Wtf is wrong with you? Who the hell eats an umbrella cockatoo

Skydiv:
Why are you acting like you are a punishment to your parents? You always blame everybody around you, except yourself.

It'd be unfair for me to say this, but I agree with you. I read previous posts of the OP and I came to that conclusion as well. Life's truly rough for everyone.

ZombieDredd:
he obviously doesn't know the meaning of words he uses

Don't mind him

TemplarLandry:
This is a great news.
President Tinubu is the most proactive Nigerian Pres ever.

We dont negotiate with IslamicJihadists

Proactive Nigerian? What crack are you on today. Here we go again

aliumujib:
Still available?

I offer the service though.

EmmyMaestro:
Posts are not yet plenty because Nairalandrs have gone to check her videos first

This I have seen

Lmaooo first things first.

This is wrong. Couldn't you blur their faces? Don't you know they are young and just starting their life? Are you m@d or something?

ValCon888:
Before you decide, remember that all of them in that photo are still alive, except one that has been dead for 17 years.

The one that is dead recently set a record for holding the number 1 song in the world , number 1 movie in the world , and number 1 book in the world all at the same time.

The choice is yours.

Truly the GOAT 🐐

terrezo2002:
Michael Jackson.
When the others die, you won't hear of them that much again. When they are no longer active, they lose their relevance.
I was surprised to see a little boy who wasn't born saying Michael Jackson was his favorite musician.

My guy you no lie at all. Even my niece that was born more than 7-8 years after his death, MJ is her biggest fan. She's learned his songs completely unaided!

thesicilian:
Yeah, it's crazy and scary.
Many people do not get to know when they'll take their last bath, eat their last food, take their last pic, tell their most loved ones bye for the last time etc

I'm telling you. That's why they say cherish every moment you spend with people. They may be your last. May God help us.

thesicilian:
I saw somewhere that some people have already bought the clothes, cars etc they'll eventually die in

As crazy as this sounds, it's the truth. Also, some of the pictures we'd take would later be used for an obituary. Once again, that's crazy.

Tenses:
Story

Did he give GEJ that ultimatum before he hit the street with his congregation.

What do you people want exactly? He has openly called out Tinubu and have given him a directive but you're here still throwing tantrums like a ventriloquist dummy. Sigh

Ma, we don't want him to do anything again. Please advice him to throw in the towel. The one wey he do don okay. Eshey pupo ma.

yarimo:
Oby ezekwesili you have never react or condemn IPOB terrorists activities in your state, just a reminder

Niggah... Shut the fvck up. Can you?

Checkwell:
Content creation will send people to their early graves. He who has two ears should hear word.

What are you saying? He had to wait until the cows moved away from the highway then recorded them. If he didn't record, how would you have seen it. Be like say you don drink something sha

Unforgiveness is corrosive and only burdens one. I ask you this; all for what? You're mortal and can leave this world in a blink of an eye.

All for what?

LordBiden:
No you are wrong.

The #150k should be for feeding and general upkeep of the house which the man will benefit from.

Yen yen yen. Is it from the 150k he'd use for transporting himself to work every day? But you were quick to counter what someone said about spending the remaining 50k on himself. The 50k no be him tfare be that?

L0wk3y:
Be like na you be first with the bum rash too!

You're absolutely right

First to comment. You do have a point.

May her gentle soul rest in peace. Amen

Pojomojo:
It’s understandable why former President Olusegun Obasanjo holds such a strong view about Nigeria’s refineries, given his past experience. But saying they will never work again may be too absolute—and perhaps overlooks what is still possible with the right approach.

First, the challenges he listed—poor maintenance, corruption, and outdated capacity—are real. Even Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has admitted the refineries are currently underperforming. However, those problems are not unique to Nigeria, and other countries have successfully revived aging refineries through proper reforms, transparent management, and credible technical partnerships.

Second, the global energy landscape has evolved since Obasanjo’s time in office. While major oil companies like Shell plc may prioritize upstream profits, there are now specialized refinery operators and engineering firms whose business is exactly this—turning around inefficient downstream assets. That’s precisely what NNPC is trying to tap into with its current search for technical partners.

Also, the success of the Nigeria LNG Limited project that Obasanjo referenced actually strengthens the case for reform rather than abandonment. It shows that with the right ownership structure, governance, and private-sector discipline, state-linked energy projects in Nigeria can work.

Then there’s the example of Aliko Dangote’s refinery. While it highlights how efficient private investment can be, it doesn’t necessarily mean public refineries are beyond saving—it simply raises the standard they must meet. Competing may be difficult, but not impossible, especially if the goal is to reduce import dependence and strengthen energy security.

In reality, the question isn’t whether the refineries can ever work again—it’s whether Nigeria is willing to implement the tough structural changes needed to make them work. That includes transparency, accountability, and possibly letting go of full government control.

So rather than writing them off completely, it may be more productive to see this moment as a test: can Nigeria finally fix what has long been broken, or will history repeat itself?

So na AI you dey use type comment? Abegi bro

KushSpatacus:

This young man is currently married to someone else. Apparently, ship sailed after a couple of years being with Jodie.. Life.

Kobicove:
All the unnecessary fuss about food and drinks is not warranted as far as I am concerned cos none of us will leave this earth alive

Honestly can't be the only one just disgusted about the writeup. You eat healthier than a ret@rd, you still die though. Nothing dey this life.
