She actually shot herself. No be everything be gragra. Some issues are better approached with sense and diplomacy and that doesn't mean you're weak. If care is not taken, she may not return to that hollow chamber before the next general election if the power that be actually mean her. You also don't go making spurious and damning allegations without having concrete evidence to back up your claims. I'm sure she's already liking her fingers and counting her losses.

It's only in Nigeria that you have to apologise for doing the right thing or for speaking the truth

It is a good way to go,considering the level and volume of transaction and relations between both countriesit is not too late unless you want to wallow in your flimsy excuse as usual

Lol.

I'm doing things.

The "as usual"

I'm a doctor.

When I had China in mind was when I just left medical school. Some good years back.

I still want to practice outside Nigeria, so China may not offer me what I'm looking for.

Nice one.

If to say I learn Chinese years ago, I for no still dey this country dey complain about bad governance.

Unfortunately, academic brilliance has nothing to do with governance/ administration. Soludo has been terribly below par in performance.

For the body and mouth odour, my hand no dey there

The guy is too petty, I must confess.

Professorship doesn't equate to good character.

Good day, fellas. Would you choose 1million Naira or the shop? Give your reason(s).

The contents of that shop worth more than one million

Good morning all
I want us all to look into a request from a returning parent and come up with suggestions, advise, examples(picture samples) etc.
A family left our school some years back while their daughters were in nursery and lower pry classes.

They're planning to come back now while they are in the secondary sch Ss2 and SS 1 now
One going to SS2 didn't do well in our entrance test at all which we advised to repeat.
The SS1 performed excellently
So parents said they can't be in same classes. That they will get extra teachers you know their excuses.

The reasons why they left was that they took them to a Faith based sch so they could learn their religion, Islam, Long hijabs.
Now coming they want us to allow them wear hijabs in which I said NO cos ours isn't a Faith based sch as I won't even allow Christians SU cover their hair in sch.

I suggested that they buy them beret caps and wear after sch. So the parents went back home to think over it.

Do you think we should bend our rules to accommodate them buy allowing Beret, which the parents agreed to or we should maintain our standards knowing fully well that other parents would replicate.

Also I think IRS is now a compulsory subject in secondary schools new curriculum


Google Image used for illustration

Stick to the rules of the school.

This is what killed Nigeria: bending rules to favour some people.

They'll still turn and attack your school in public one day if you make a mistake.

Please don't deceive people into this gamble of a stock, because I was deceived by buying intercontinental last public offer of one thousand shares in 2007, for my son but after seventeen years, one thousand naira was given as dividends.

Please is it that the Bank failed me or the money failed me.

Nigeria failed you Sir

CorperKola:
No one is getting out alive anyway
Cos if he survived for longer he would still have needed a house to live in without bothering about rent
Or would he have been buying drugs and undergoing treatment while hustling for rent and food at an old age and taking care of children also like the OP is suggesting.
His only mistake here is not taking his health seriously

You're right.

Kobojunkie:
How many Nigerians do you know of who genuinely cares for or take care of their health? Obviously, this man was not much different.

2. These stories are common place with family being at the top of suspect lists. He probably saw the signs but chose to ignore them.(A brother who bilks you of hard earned money should be arrested and jailed at least. He probably thought some local gods or his ego would save the way or something. Who knows!

Now he is at dead and no longer bothered by all of this anyways.

Yea...so sad

isholamedoo:
How una dey my people? .... So I stumbled on this tweet and I feel like to share it to the house for mutual opinion.

Which of the below fit make all things boring to you:

-Data don finish
- Transformer don blow
- Gas don finish
-Bank app no dey open

I witnessed that of bank app this morning.

For about 15 minutes, I was just stranded.

Not a good experience.

I'm used to not having light, so if transformer blow, I no send

I can always recharge once data finishes.

I can quickly refill gas close to my house, except at night

Kobojunkieee:
This suggestion screams all sorts of wickedness to me. The man is dead. If he had had a child, who would have been there to raise the child or make sure the property would have ended up in the child's hands, assuming his family would not have maybe killed the child off to grab the property for themselves?

OP, if you were a child in that situation described, would you have been happy or something? Before you say yes, consider the case of the millions of orphans in Nigeria today who roam the streets every day and night, many of them with living relatives who refuse to take them in.

Not everyone should go around having children because children are not meant to be solutions to problems, not even of the kind you describe.

If that were the case, the man shouldn't have bothered sending money to his brother to build the house in the first place.

After all that struggle, he should have just used the money to take care of himself and his health in the township.

It's still terrible that his brother ripped him off. He still died and his brother and children are now enjoying his sweat.

The other day, I did *894# to recharge my Airtel line from my First Bank account. It didn't even connect, yet, seconds later, almost 7 Naira was already deducted from my account. I think 6.94 Naira or so. They sent me the SMS, yet the reason I used the code was not achieved.

They know what they're doing.

Low-key rip thousands of people of their 7 Naira daily.

Who will I complain to that Airtel and my bank scammed me of 7 Naira?

Is Taribo's salary same as Peter Rufai's salary?

I don't understand this post.


If they're saying Peter Rufai earned a million Euros, that will be understandable

Semi related but with billions of people dead n buried. The earth is supposed to be covered up with bones

Where are all the deadbodies?
No new cemetery built
The current/old ones still have spaces
Population of people who buries in cemetery is more than the people who bury at home

I've never witnessed any cemetery burial.

All na for personal or family compound

TimeManager:
Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sparked controversy after reacting to Peter Obi’s condolence visit to the family of late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, visited the Rufai family on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at their residence in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos—one day after the football icon was buried.

Obi, accompanied by former international Sylvanus Okpala, spent time with the family, offered prayers, and signed the condolence register.

He explained that he had only learned of the burial date the day before, while in Abuja, and flew to Lagos early that morning to pay his respects.

However, shortly after the visit, Olayinka took to social media to question the motive behind Obi’s action.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:



https://x.com/OlayinkaLere/status/1959235834965578008?t=9kajemHourfkr1uKEhNFMA&s=19

The tweet appeared to link Obi’s visit to earlier comments made by former Super Eagles defender Taribo West, who had criticized the silence of Nigerian Football Federation and other local football association following Rufai’s death.

Olayinka suggested that Obi’s visit was a reaction to that criticism and aimed more at gaining media attention than offering genuine condolence.

His remarks sparked mixed reactions online.

While critics of Obi echoed Olayinka’s view, accusing the former Anambra governor of using the visit for publicity, others defended Obi’s actions, describing them as sincere and timely given his explanation.

Did Wike visit Peter Rufai's family? Did Tinubu visit Peter Rufai's family?

Why this obsession with Peter Obi? He keeps giving them nightmares everyday

Lithium Processing Plant At Endo, Nasarawa State 🇳🇬
Endo, in Nasarawa State, is fast becoming Nigeria’s lithium powerhouse, attracting huge global investments that promise jobs, skills, and economic growth. A $250 million plant by Ganfeng Lithium is underway, designed to process 18,000 tonnes of lithium daily, that’s about 4.5 million tonnes each year.

Wow this is great 👍

Will they add the money from here when sharing monthly revenue? Or is it only Niger Delta oil that all the states in Nigeria are sharing the revenue?

Jonathan is still loved by many. How I wish he could be President and Obi his Vice. Lol. Just dreaming. Both of them are already from the South.
