Explorers:
If you've seen the movie, they perished that much because they ignored the warnings.

They saw the warnings (light earthquake/tremor) and the mountain was spewing ash for some days before the eruption.

Unfortunately, the coastal city had only one exit(harbour).

Thousands of people trying to get on few available boats.

Please what's the name of the movie

Hubeznigeria:
Some folks just talk like the program pays 300k per month. A sachet of water is #20 in today's Nigeria. So tell me what can one save from that meagre amount?
Albeit, it's better than not having hope of getting money at all all.

Tbh, it's practically impossible to. At first, you'd want to imbibe in the culture - that is, to save. But somehow you'll start running out of money. Needs must be met always. It's not possible to save 30k.

Hubeznigeria:
You talk like you're no in Nigeria. Save what from what? What from 30k?? And you have bills to pay and feeding? You guys should stop being unreasonable. 30k for 12months is 360k. Let's assume that you (I mean You) saved half of the total sum, what business can you start with it? How much is rentage for shop? Here you are foulmouthing another. If life is fair to you at the moment fine; it may not be to another at the present. So be guided in your utterances.

Facts

AdaSunshine:
Fear of death during delivery was the cause of death of one of my cousins.
She had a healthy pregnancy, no complications whatsoever, until the day of labour.
She kept crying all through, and her mother that was supposed to encourage her kept crying with her.

We patiently waited for the “good news” for what seemed like forever, until evening when they called us...
We were already jubilating, thinking she had finally given birth, only to be told she died with the pregnancy.

I was incredibly touched by this. So sorry for your loss.

Oblongata:
That year ehn, my wife gave me so much wahala! I became a pastor, a father, motivational speaker, etc! She was super scared and said things like ‘if I die, let my child know that I love him’. I nearly blamed myself for impregnating her. Few days to Edd, see prayers! I just kuku opt out for cs jeje! Because her fear fear been dey fear me sef and I didn’t want to lose anybody. Thank God for his mercies! That’s more than a decade ago!We even had 2 more later on. Thank you God!

If you are in that situation now, please don’t be scared! Just know you will come out of the labor room alive and well along with your child! It is well!

I laughed so hard this early. Omo na wa oo
Thanks for sharing.

DissTroy:
Someone is definitely profiting off this girl's predicament else something would have been done about her situation.

Cosmetic surgery has advanced to the extent that the victims of burns and injuries like her can look less hideous than she looks. I know for one that face surgeries have gotten better and victims of dog bites and burns get grafting procedures to make them look at least normal.

This girl has been on Ophrah(?) and several shows. She has the needed attention from all the moneybags and women rights organisations in the world, so why haven't they done plastic surgery on her face at least? Reconstructive ones even?

Because someone or she profits off her pity party.

Just like race hustlers who blow out any issue from the racial perspective would be out of business if racial tensions die down.

She isn't the average girl looking for help. Almost seems like her 'selling point' as she continuously reminds us of the incident and never about what she's done professionally or projects or more.

I don't know why victimhood seems very attractive to most people. "Oh! Woe is me!"

What you've just displayed is gross ignorance. What has gotten into you?

rottennaija:
This life

Uttered the same words...
Sigh

Lol. Op it should interest you to know that since my elder sis got married, her husband and I don't relate well, and I couldn't give a rats ass about it altogether. He basically doesn't have any relationship with me or whatsoever. Did this somehow bother her? I don't think so. Life goes on.

What I wouldn't want for both of you is to put an end to something beautiful that is even yet to begin just because of this issue. You could try adjusting a little though. Things like this shouldn't be forced.

Personally, I'm just as introverted as you are. Not sure I related well with siblings of whoever I've been dating.
Wishing you both endless love together.

habitkiller:
No no... I have left the act for God,I laughed over it when I do think of it

That's great news! I'm happy you broke the addiction for good.

Earlystar698:
First don't compare a working country to a forced enclave called Nigeria. The only thing that's working in Nigeria is that you can urinate anywhere you want to even if there's " Do not urinate signboard at the particular place. And secondly BMC is fast growing disease in Nigeria and its has no cure at the moment.

Man this comment killed me

JavaScript90:
he just want to kill these SMEs. Nigerians don't like paying back loans. how to do you expect the loan companies to get back their money without collateral. he should instead criminalize taking loans without paying back.
Hello, I am a fullstack web developer. I develop all types of website. I major in developing complex custom website and mobile apps for businesses and startups. If you have an idea and need a competent programmer to translate your idea into codes, I am the right man for the job.

I believe that you're mistaken. A responsible Nigerian would have bouts of sleepless nights just thinking of how to offset loans let alone deliberately avoid paying back. All Akin wants to do is try to get them regulated. Don't be ignorant.

IamPlato:
Work and pleasure can be managed correctly if one is matured enough

Lol to an extent, that's equally true. Personally, I wouldn't welcome the idea of having a love interest in my place of work. If not for anything, but to avoid unnecessary spotlight and attention.

IamPlato:
Why? Because una be God or what?

Simply because you should never mix work with pleasure. Didn't anyone ever tell you? Duh

To be very honest, I endorse this comment wholeheartedly.

Congratulations to them. Is it just me, the first picture of them looks like a movie poster

Glawrie:
Wow
This reminded me of last December 2020, my best friend's dad buys day old chicks every January and rears them till December, only for consumption during festive periods and for gifting people. He called me few days to Christmas to come and collect one chicken. I went there very early on Christmas day to get it. It was an all white local chicken,the biggest I ever saw in my life, looking old (almost a year old) and gentle. The legs were now bent, couldn't stand properly anymore.
We didn't kill it for Christmas because we had frozen ones in the fridge. so we decided to wait till new year. We kept it in a big bath, because it can't run around anymore, it was no longer agile.
During this period of waiting for the new year, I became attached to the chicken, I fed her and changed her water regularly, she doesn't like dirts at all, when she poos, she will just shift her bum bum to the clean side of the bath, she won't even try to step on it. she will rather sit uncomfortably to avoid her body from touching the poo. This made me love her the more, she doesn't cry anyhow.
Every night, I'll reserve a torchlight for her inside the bath so it won't be dark. sometimes I play with her, if I remove the torch, she will start crying and she will stop when I return it back ..lols
I never saw myself being attracted to an animal like this, because am always scared of them. but from the day I met her, all my fear went away.
I begged my mom to let us keep her that I love her but she refused saying its exhausting to rear chicken.
On the last Sunday of the year, I came home from church to meet her death. they've just passed the knife through her throat when I came in. I shed tears and then I just lock up but I never ate from the chicken at all till it finished.
Looking forward to starting my own poultry farm this year by God's grace.

awww you're a naturally kind person. Similar thing happened to me. I travelled early this year to my aunts place and when I was scheduled to return home, she gave me a very big cock: biggest I had ever seen infact, to give to my mum. At first I was a little hesitant and gradually I formed a bond with this cock. Long story short, I had to kill it myself. It was heartbreaking, but i had to do it and reminded myself that they are animals for a reason.

arixona:
First things first,go to a pharmacy and get castor oil to soften your stool,then ask them for one bullet shaped thing that is meant for insertion...then you can then ask them for the drugs for it....I've forgotten the names of the drugs I used ...hope it helps...
N/B after the use of the castor oil,don't leave the house if you don't want to have a very bad day cos you'll have to visit the toilet more often

I'm guessing Anasol?

Sorry for the health challenges you're currently experiencing. Visit this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6810685/please-me-how-treat-pile/1#106887507 similar condition was mentioned.
I hope you get a new lease of life soonest.

AndikanEssien:
Uncle friend of a deaf, your view of the matter is based on just a single experience so to speak. I am speaking from a general point of view but your bent on making me align with you on your narrow view. No na!

Ok

Goalnaldo:
Your mouth ehn

She no dey slack walahi.

TarOrfeeek:
Someone saying "Nne" to you.

And you know he speaks your language

Like if a one chance thief says "Omo".

I'll then conclude that he speaks Yoruba.

False generalisation.

Accounts like yours on nairaland should be flagged and suspended. Unfortunately, mods won't do the needful. Just look at the horse sh*t you're spewing.

AndikanEssien:
Young man abi woman I am a sign language interpreter and live in the world of the deaf. Your friend in the University wasn't born deaf, he only lost his ability to hear later on in life and had already learnt how to speak and communicate orally. For individuals who were born deaf or who became deaf at a very young age sign language becomes their vehicle to education.

We could keep going back and forth without you seeing my point, oh ye sign language interpreter. This has clouded your ability to comprehend what I'm passing to you, sadly. All the best.

naijainstinct:
Simply just obtain a police report and proceed to court. Even though you owe him, he should have obtained an eviction order from the court. He has broken the law. If you don't sue him, he will do it again. We are not in a jungle, there's a due process for everything. Being owed is not a reason to act outside the ambit of the law. Also, don't allow anyone harass you. Going by the ACJA 2015, police should not interfere in civil matters such as this. Indebtedness is not a criminal offence. The reason why you are reporting to the police is because a criminal offence has been committed by your landlord i.e obtaining your asset without your notice (a.k.a stealing) and breaking into your apartment (a.k.a burglary)

The compensation you will get will surpass the rent you are owing. Make sure you pay your rent from that. All the best.

Whoa are you a lawyer or something? Learnt a lot from this.

6ixT8:
Deaf mute.

Tbh, this is correct. Nigerians need to unlearn things that are recognized as slurs . What is deaf and dumb? Toooor

AndikanEssien:
I get your point. When I said literate I meant those who understood and could communicate well in sign language. In fact deafs can hardly be literate in other fields without the ability to communicate and understand sign language (there are exceptions though). Special schools for deafs (which is available from Primary to University education) students are basically taught in sign language as well as the use of pictogram. One can hardly acquire a degree if he lacks ability to comprehend and communicate in the language.

Some deaf people lip-read. You've never seen or heard that before? Back in Uni, I had a friend who couldn't hear in both ears but could lipread. You'd hardly know because he's pretty good at it. He doesn't know how to sign and he speaks remarkably better than normal hearing people. Until you've lived or any form of sensible verbal dialogue with a deaf person, all you'll be doing is speculate. Just clearing the air on the emboldened, dassal.

AndikanEssien:
Of course, not all deafs are literate in sign language just like not all hearing persons in Nigeria are literate in English. Hence allowing those literate in sign language benefit from media contents is only fair

I'm not sure you understood my point here. Not all literate deaf can sign! Inasmuch as this would benefit deaf people, one has to learn it. Though, I'm not undermining the initiative as it would go a long way in ensuring people living with certain disabilities are carried along.

pocohantas:
Una dey always get options when young na.

That time sense is not found and gbola is very active. Naso una go dey do like Hitler. Claiming men-are-polygamous-in-nature.

You people forget na una old age dey do strong things pass. Small thing, stroke, kidney failure, diabetes. By that time, all your options (side-chicks) are long gone. You’ll now be blackmailing your virtuous wife into becoming a personal nurse. Reminding you to take your drugs and cooking oilless vegetable soup with plantain swallow.

If God come punish you with woman wey sabi revenge. She would leave you at home and go for omugwo in the US permanently. You will na wear obituary t-shirt and sit in front of your bungalow with a newspaper, watching every movement. One useless redpiller will see you there and come to create thread. “Men take care of yourselves, what I noticed with my neighbour”. The moomoo won’t ask the neighbour how he landed in that situation.

You men won’t give a woman your youth, but when your engine has knocked, you will return home to saddle her with a badly maintained Nigerian used body. Nonsense!

Happy Anniversary to the couple.

Adieu papa/mama shirt abi

AndikanEssien:
You're very foolish to say who sign language help, I no blame you. You rate deafs as lesser humans with limited comprehension abi. If you care to know that are many deafs who are more educated, have more degrees and are more talented than you. They deserve to be carried along. Sign language is their "mother tongue" so they need to be kept in the know as well.

@ the emboldened. Not for all deaf people. Some can hold a conversation simply by lipreading. Not all deaf people sign. Get your facts though.

It should interest you to know not all deaf people (highly educated ones for instance) can sign because they can speak fluently having attended normal schools. The notion most Nigerians have that someone who is deaf can also be dumb is a silly one. Transcribing speeches could go a long way as it further promotes reading culture.

siofra:
It's not that easy. I've tried my dear, it's been four years now.

Wow 4 years
Award goes to most persistent young man who doesn't back down!

maureensylvia:
Yea it's a private school, the overcrowding was my major concern... I had to give private lesson a thought

Lalasticlala howfar
People should share there ideas on this

Private coaching won't be a bad idea honestly. It would go a long way ensuring the child retains all that has been taught. There's a kid I teach around here (albeit free of charge ) things he's yet to be taught at school. So when the teacher eventually touches the subject, it feels like a refresher. He's doing very well.
