Blue3k: How embarrassing for Nigeria. Even loan shark IMF doesn't take us serious.
hahahahaha abi o. There is a reason they call them the lender of last resort hahaha. Its where you go to when your nation has hit rock bottom. They lend you money when it seems no one else will Chei!
Its like payday loans over here, they are all over the hood. They are for low income and what people regard as less than credit worthy (sub-prime).
On a serious note, its sad that it had to come down to this that we have to go to Shylock to borrow money knowing full well that he is going to extract his proverbial pound of flesh from you to get there money back.
kilokeys: Lol God forbid o. Actually I had noodles.. I am more of a 3 course meal person. A chef actually. My food pictures are scattered all over here. Had this for Christmas. Made them myself. Oooh cos u no chop sleep abi?.. U come dey hallucinate. Sorry
What?? Bros, na you cook that meal? abeg send me ingredients. That is really impressive.

ever811: in as much as I know the people of Niger delta region, give them d money and watch how they share it in town halls.this are people that are so used to the idea that money derived from there oil should be shared to them individually,infrastructure can wait for all they care..not all of them though. the river line youth of river state are the most lazy set of humans I have ever seen or heard of in my life.the port Harcourt ikwere has first class degree in laziness.. ikwere from other areas outside Port Harcourt are very hard working, the Echee, and the Ogonis are hard working..okrika,omoku ahuda,calabari very lazy...calabari and okrika are the worst..all there youth does is starch and iron there cloth..they gather them self's in compounds halls to discuss politics,watching carefully any rich guy that comes into the community will be hail with different tittles...chairmoooooo ...amayanabo...alawo..etc and he give them money which sometimes they end up fighting over it.Edwin Clark is an anointed criminal,..any Niger delta person that takes him serious is not serious himself...
Funny that you say this. I was watching this 5:18 minute report on the region earlier.
BVN0: This goes a long way to show that the current Government has no idea of what they are doing.
There's no plan in place, only guess work. By the way what happened to the billions they claimed they recovered from the past Government or are they all lies?
They don't seem to have a detailed plan. They just seem to reacting and putting out fires instead of actually been proactive and having an overarching plan and framework (i.e playbook or strategy).
mej67: Why can't they just swallow their pride and pick up PDP'S economic blueprints like NEEDS and Vision 2020.
We are being ruled without a plan.
Talk of born to rule mentality.
Buhari attempted to be President 4 good times and now he made it, what was it really he was working hard to come and do? Just to occupy the seat?
Worrisome
The question should be how did he get to be President in the first place? I don't think that he nor his predecessors can even be voted for City council (not even Mayor sef) where i live at but for some reason this guys were able to run a country that is estimated to be of over 150 million?? Na wa o. We truly need to overhaul our election process then because it definitely does not seem to be working this is are the best leaders we can get.
Apart from South Africa or maybe Kenya, I don't see why someone should go to Ghana - studying in Africa.
Japan, South Korea, Singapore are Asian countries with some of the best educational systems especially in STEM related disciplines.
Someone will leave the National University of Singapore and go to University of Bradford for say Mechanical Engineering?
Or London Metropolitan University and set aside the Chinese University of Hong Kong? Israel has got good schools too - Hebrew University, Technion Institute of Technology etc. Good schools, affordable, different cultures, minimal immigration brouhaha.
....... And after all this write up, someone will go to the American University of Houdegbe Benin Republic.
amanze15: that's right, while ours are by nomination and vetting for by reps and house of assembly members, but when do you think some people find it hard to do a good job in a position of power in Nigeria? that question keeps bugging me, even if you have degrees from the Ivy league schools and experience from top 10 law firms in the world, the system is so archaic you become dragged into the mess
The system is completely broken and until we make fundamental changes to the system I am afraid that things will remain the same.
The changes I am talking about is decentralizing the country. Things are way too centralized in this country and that's a major reason why things don't work: the central govt trying to do everything instead of devolving powers and granting autonomy to the local govts and the state. This includes allowing local govts to raise there revenue and determine there own agenda with the state only providing oversight. The current system of the fed govt providing revenue (allocation) to this states is not making them grow up. it is only hampering there independence and growth and leaves them in a constant state of coming back to beg for more. In other words, what I am saying is that give a man fish and he would come back and beg for more but teach him how to fish and he would feed his family. The current system is inefficient and it encourages corruption.
Let them build there own schools, generate their own electricity, build there own airport instead of the state doing it with money they got from the central govt. You can't run a country strictly through the center, development has to be a mixture of bottom up and top down policies. It should be an healthy flow in either direction but it should mostly come from the bottom in my own opinion.
onoja12: we share different view on life,apparently we cant see the same things ,you are so willing to serve your white masters so you think what ever comes out of his mouth was right.it is a clear sign that you haven't traveled ,when you do you would see and witness how your white masters really feel about you
Dude, what does skin color have to do with this? the guy is simply saying that the emperor is not wearing any clothes and here you are screaming that he is a racist? Na wa o. Why don't you just swallow your pride and admit that he is right.
If you have ever lived outside of Nigeria before you would realize how bad Lagos is.
lulukay: What a cheap list! Tecno phantom?? U. Gotta b kidding me? Dat fone is so 10minutes ago.,
Wow! It's girls like this I usually pray to avoid. A gift is not something you are entitled to. Thank God the girl showed him her true colors before he decided to marry her. I am completely stunned and appalled by her behavior.
Anniebissy: Can you imagine? I cant believe this. He deleted me from him BBM, can't reach him on his phone, he moved out from his house, removed me from his friends on facebook, blocked me on whatsapp just because i gave him the list of things i want for christmas. 1, Brazilian hair 120k, 2, Gucci bag 350k, 3, Louis vitton wallet 80k, 4, DKNY wrist watch 70k, 5, Prada shoes 140k, 6, Aldo sandals 30k, 7, A Tecno phantom 120k. Please friends I only asked for seven items o! Did I ask for much?
Wow! That's apalling. A gift is not something you are entitled to, it's something that someone decides to give you (if they feel like it) out of the goodness of there heart and not an obligation. Thank goodness you showed him who exactly you are just in time for him to go in a different direction. Unbelievable! na wa for una o.
Her daughter was circumcised before her very eyes and she makes st.up.id comments like she'll never fully understand what happened? Did she not care to look between her baby's legs to see what was done to the poor child? Even the comment about the daughter remaining faithful to her husband always speaks for itself.
Come, Maclatunji, what sort of nonsense story is this, this early Saturday?
Wow! I had no idea what it was talking about. This is absolutely stunning. I am really, really, really angry right now.
mifavour: Spanking, beating, flogging or caning is a common method of disciplining children in Nigeria. In fact caning used to be very common in Nigerian schools before the practice was abandoned. Most Nigerian disciplinarians will tell you that spanking a child is the best method of discipline. While many parents would choose to believe that spanking is effective, the physical act of hitting a child also has its negative consequences. Spanking can cause anger, aggression, and resentment, can cause physical harm, and most often does not teach the lesson you are trying to convey. Spanking a young child or toddler for example demonstrates to him or her that it’s all right for people to hit people, and especially for big people to hit little people, and stronger people to hit weaker people. There is a common story told about the mother who believed in spanking as a necessary part of discipline until one day she observed her 3 -year-old daughter hitting her one-year-old son. When confronted, her daughter said, “I’m just playing mommy.” This mother never spanked another child again. Parents of toddlers often notice that their child beats others or beats them back when they are spanked. This is because children love to imitate, and they imitate people whom they love and respect. They believe that it’s okay for them to do whatever you do. While the choice of disciplining your child is yours to make, you should note that there are various other ways to discipline your child without spanking and some of them are listed below. 1.Positive Reinforcement Rewarding good behavior is effective in increasing good behavior and in reducing unwanted behavior. Positive reinforcement relies on you going out of your way to praise positive behavior (for example, thank your child for helping with something, comment on how nice and quiet your child has been for the last half hour, etc.). It is very easy to overlook when your child is being good and only notice when they do something wrong. 2. Ignoring Unwanted Behaviour A parent only has so much energy and really cannot beat a child for every single thing he or she does. What we pay attention to is what we get more of. So a parent can ignore the behaviour for as long as it lasts unless it gets dangerous. Ignoring unwanted behavior saves a parent’s strength for bigger issues without having to beat the child. Some behaviours that may be ignored include whining, nagging, demanding things in shops or supermarkets, crying for attention (when plenty of positive attention is already given) etc. 3. Time outs Time-out is a term for a form of punishment that involves temporarily separating a child from an environment where inappropriate behavior has occurred. Experts recommend that this form of discipline be used when a child is 2 years of age or older. At that age, toddlers are starting to understand cause and effect and time outs will work. 4. Using Your Child’s Currency You can use what your child values e.g. it could be a toy, a particular activity, or even a privilege like getting to stay awake to a particular hour to produce positive behaviour. Once you understand what your child values, you can withdraw positive things (taking away the toy, video game, phone etc.) or introduce negative things (making them take a time-out, go to bed early) as a form of discipline. 5. The Point System Give points for good behavior and take away points for bad behavior. In some homes, accumulated “points” can even be traded in for rewards. In other homes, privileges are based on behaviour, and dropping below a certain point level may cause a loss of privileges.
Time out I have seen up close that Time outs don't work. Abeg all this new age parenting stuff hardly ever works.
omoharry: so Kolooyibo..if you like, ignore it when your child tell you to shut the Bleep up or go to hell..then give him a pat in the back and tell him weldone ..you go see oba when he is all grown up and out of control just becos you choose to ignor these vital things when it all started.
Don't mind all these Nigerians trying to adopt Western culture. Some of the people who even write this thing self, you would be amazed that some of them don't have kids or don't practice it themselves yet they write it and people willingly devour it.
I live in the West and I have seen the consequences of adopting western parenting techniques.
By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he is wrong - Charles Wadsworth
Gassa007: When I woke up, I thought they found him dead. My first thought was that we need to find him, he is suicidal, and we need to make sure he is alive. I didn’t even know what he had said. Someone took my phone from me, they don’t want me to see what was said online. I was just sacred for his life. At around 10 and 11, Banky W’s Mum and his family were praying, and we got the call that he was found in Lekki, and that he has been taken to Banky’s House. For the past two months, TJ and I have not been together, it was something we were working through, but I knew this marriage would not work. I haven’t spoke to TJ in about a week, and we were supposed to get some passports for my son. He was reading the messages and he wasn’t responding. I begged him to be friends, and let’s be good parents to Jamil. He didn’t respond. I covered up for a lot of hurt in our relationship. Just before I went to Jamaica, I found out that I was pregnant. We were just trying to find out how we were going to manage another baby so soon. I got to London, on a 10-hour flight to shoot a video with Busy Signal (Reggae Artiste). While doing my makeup, I found out I was bleeding and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital, and we were trying to call TJ to tell him what happened. While we were sleeping at two AM a number called him saved as Edible Catering….I checked his phone, and the number was asking him if she can come to his hotel. She responded that He (TJ) knocked her out last night, that he was a great night. I confronted him, and he said he took another woman to the hotel and said they were just chilling. This happened the period I was in Jamaica, and I was in the hospital. I sent TJ pictures, and he was busy with another woman. I was in ahospital and you couldn’t be bothered find out what happened to me. I packed my stuff, took my son and went to my friends house, her name is Tiwa also. I stayed the night, and she asked me for the next step, I told her I was done. I covered up for so long because I wanted people to believe that TJ is the one that takes care of me, TJ is the head of the house…I wanted him to be the head of the house. I covered up so much. TJ has not spent one Naira, I paid for hospital bills, his flight, his accommodation, we also went shopping for TJ so that he will have new things. His excuse was that Í don’t have money’. I had to pay for everything so that he can go out and hustle, and get the contracts. He didn’t have money for diapers, but he had money to have a bi-weekly haircut, had money to pay for his laundry, had money to take a woman to the hotel. His cooking allegations is a lie. I am not going to say because of my career that I am not going to cook. I work long hours to put money in the house, I work to make sure that we have a roof over our house. I come back home really late, and when I make something for myself, I make some for TJ. I had to hire a cook to cook for me, him and the other people that live in the house, I don’t think that is wrong…Even if it is true, the things he puts me through will not even encourage me to ask him if he is hungry. He goes out and you come home at 7 in the morning, sometime 2pm. He comes back drunk, he comes back angry, and we don’t know what sort of mood he is in. Sometimes TJ will go out and he will not call, and he will not tell him. I am just sacred for his safety, I will be calling him frantically, to find out that he didn’t go and drink. I am even praying that he is with another woman, so that at least I know that he is alive. That’s not the person that I will ask if he has eaten. When I sacked him as my manager – I will never discredit or take away that TJ worked hard, hustled and believed in me. But what I will say is that at one point….he is booking events and he will book shows. The first time I found out that there was foul play was when he booked me for a wedding in London. I have to be paid before I perform. I called one of the organisers, and said I have not been paid. He said that the show has been paid four months ago, he showed me the account were they paid him. TJ declared that the show was for 3M but they really paid 4.5M, out of the 3M he was still receiving the management fee 40%. He took money already, and collected his percentage, and he didn’t feel anything. He was stealing from his wife. I had to perform at the wedding for free. I do get to perform for free when he takes my money. My mum is based in the UK, and when I had Jamil she moved back to Nigeria with us. My mother is not like that (witchcraft), she is a sweet lady, and she’s very British, she doesn’t judge, she is not hung up like that. A lot of times, my mom would say ‘Tiwa you are the wife, be patient, don’t curse don’t shout, build the home.’ She has been nothing but a great support for me. I would love for him to tell me if there is something my mother has done. I have never cheated on my husband. Not with Don Jazzy, Dr Sid, 2face Idibia or anybody. I have never cheated on my husband, and Tunji knows this. He knows that in his heart. (She breaks down in tears) Sometimes in the studio, one of the things that Don Jazzy and some of my other label mates say is that I am really good with interviews, with being diplomatic and knowing how to carry myself with difficult situations. This hurts. I have seen comments of what people are saying about me. It is not true. I know that for every human being when your father’s ways are not straight, it will bother you. Since I sacked him from my management, he has been struggling financially. He was stealing from me, so I had to save my marriage and separate business from family. TJ wants to keep up with the Joneses, he wants to live a life that is not true. He went to buy a car, a Mercedes that he knew that he didn’t have the money for it. The person kept up calling that he wants the balance. I ended up paying the balance of over 3M. When it was time to pay, I put the money in his account, so they don’t know I was the person paying for it. He also bought a Rolex, and didn’t pay the balance. They threaten to go to the press, and to protect my name, I will have to pay for it. He goes to clubs and leaves the tabs for me, and I have to pay for him. He is putting us in debt. What set off all off this was that he went to borrow 45 million Naira from someone and he lost it. I just found out that EFCC was investigating a case against him, and my brother called me from London and confirmed it that TJ is in deep trouble, and that some people might hurt him, that I should be careful. In my frantic mode to try and suppress this situation I went to one of my big bros who can help. A week ago I told TJ that we were running out of Jamil’s food, but he didn’t do nothing. He complains, but cuts his hair twice a week. I have been searching for N45M so that they don’t kill him, so that they EFCC does not carry him. What kind of man does that, and says I am the one taking away his manhood. I walked in on TJ taking cocaine in my house in 1004 (Victoria Island, Lagos). I didn’t even know he takes cocaine. I walked into the kitchen, and I saw him taking cocaine, so I screamed, and asked if that is cocaine. HE started screaming that ‘What am I doing down here, where is the cocaine?’ How can someone without money take cocaine? I called his parents and complained that I can deal with weed, but cocaine, no. So I am dealing with his alcohol problem, you come home late, infidelity, coaciane, bad debt, jealousy over my success. Before marriage, Idin’t know of his third child in Nigeria. A lot of people warned me about him, but I am going to say I made a mistake. At the beginning everyone says you can’t leave the marriage because our culture frowns on it. I made a mistake, do I have to wait ten years, 15 years? If I am not happy. And I was scared that if I ever find somebody else to marry me? That’s the msiconceptions of our society. I don’t care if I ever get married again. I care about being happy for Jamil, I care about not walking on eggshells. I do want a man that works, that will help me with my financial burden. He doesn’t have to be a millionaire or billionaire, but at least someone that helps, and won’t put me in more debt. Everyday all I hear from TJ is that ‘I created you, I took you from nothing, look at you now. The marriage is finally over, it’s been over for a while, and I have covered up for a while. What happened was God-sent, and he made it easier for me to walk away with what he did on social media. He got so many people angrier, he pulled so many innocent people into this. Even his family. He made it easy for me to finally up and walk away. I will never stop hum from seeing Jamil, never. Even today, Jamil is still saying ‘dadada’, and I was saying it with him as well, that’s his first word. I want to bring him up to be a good man. Even till now I don’t wish anything bad on him. As we are doing this interview, I am worried that if he sees it, it might trigger him to do something bad. I don’t want my son to grow up and know, God forbid, that his father commited suicide. Tonight, I am still gonna pray for him. He was getting help at one point when the whole cocaine thing came out. This has been happening for a long time. We get him helpo and he goes to see a doctor or a pastor, or a counsellor and he uses his own hands to ruin things again. If I didn’t care about him, I wouldn’t be covering up for a lot of things. I wouldn’t be searching for help for him. Even now I am still searching for a way to help him out of his debt, so that if he is out of this, If there is anything that maybe I overlooked, or didn’t love him enough, or made him less of a man, then I am sorry. I am absolutely sorry…Tunji I am sorry. But you know I tried everything, you know I love you so much, and I am sorry, I never wanted to divorce, and I never wanted it to get to this. I want you to get better…and I would always pray for you.
Clinton9000: See them...enjoying and lavishing Niger Delta oil money while Niger Deltans are suffering. Afonjas...oyah come worship your masters oh!
What of the money given to your state governors nko? What are they doing with it? Arent they also squandering it like other state governors? But yet you don't hold them accountable despite the fact that they are blatantly robbing you blind?
I am not saying the Nigerian government is not chronically corrupt I am just saying that before you accuse someone your house must also be in order.
NegeduGrace: Children of God in the house help me give the lord a shout,i give glory to the kings of kings and lord of lords for his Grace and mercy upon my life.
I was born into the family of late Alhaji Ahmed Ali Negedu as Halimatu Sadiya A Negedu,my dad is a well known Alhaji @my place which is Ankpa local government area of Kogi state.
On this fateful day in the Year 2O11,i was lying down in our parlour listening to joy fm when a man of God gave a prophecy that they is a young lying down and listening to me,the young man in your life just want to destroy you.christ loves you and need you,i believe him and know he was referring to me because they was a serious issue then.i travelled all the way to benue state to meet the man of God without my people's knowledge and there I gave my life to christ but when I returned home I couldn't practice Christianity because of my people's reaction but fast-forward to 3rd of March 2012 the man of God came to host a crusade @ankpa local government area of Kogi state and I attended the crusade and on that crusade ground just like the days of Saul the lord visited me himself.they was a bright light that was making me go blind and I heard a voice saying I should surrender to him or go blind, I struggled very well to open my eyes no way so I gave up and gave my life to christ in total submission to serve him all the days of my life.
After the encounter the holy spirit Gave me a new identity and I was named GRACE,,but my dear brothers and sisters in the lord the persecution came.every where I stepped I became the object of gossip,,rejection came but I never gave up on christ..i really love him from the depth of my heart because it is in his able hands,there is no kind of charm of arrow that was not formed @me but none prospered because christ is with me living and dwelling inside of me, nobody disowned me in as much as they don't want to have anything to do with me but I live n still living in my father's house.
The reason for this testimony is to empower new converts to be strong in the lord,i know so many people that have fallen along the way..don't be that person, the devil is a liar and jesus is the sweetest thing I know. I have encountered so many temptations and afflictions but my faith keep waxing strong in God because it all his doings.
If you know your purpose of serving God then Nothing should shake your faith or make you have mixed feelings towards serving him for ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free(John 8:32).
My advice to those who re yet to give their life to christ is to do so because he is truly the way,the truth and the life. He is the greatest, he is the highest, the biggest, the largest, the mightiest, he is beautiful, marvellous, righteous, holy, faithful, merciful, gracious in his ways, he is the great healer,the miracle worker,the most excellency, his royal highness, his majesty, the alpha n omega, awanilawaso, agbanilagbato, chidima, chidebube, akanagworia, oyenememma,bomimi ni momimi, he is worthy to be praised, worthy to be worshipped, worthy to me magnified, worthy to be glorified, he is the great iam, the God that heaven is his abode and earth his footstool, ,he never lost a battle, oghene doooo, baba eshe gaun, oba gbogbo aye,,the burning bush that doesn't consume, he raised the dead to life,he made the blind to see,the lame to walk,the deaf to hear,the dumb to speak, the barren to give birth,,he is the stone of sharon, he is precious than Gold,the lille of the valley, the bright morning star..AGABAIDUH, the lion of the tribe of judah..he who is, who was n is to come,my prince of peace,my defender, provider, my pprotector, my signs and wonders.HALLELLUYA!
If you love christ appreciate him with your words n your likes...
Powerful! May God bless you. Pray for me man, I am far off.
I mean, you can dress how you want and go where you want but you know full well that such is not customarily acceptable in church...so why must you act different just to be different? This is wickedness.
It is one thing if people are judging you on the street but to think there is somethign funny about baring boobs and licking lips in church... this is wrong.
My guy, even in America majority of folks still know that you have to dress decently to church but somehow Nigerians don't seem to know that. The problem is that when you introduce something from one culture to another culture there is a tendency that the adoptive culture would go overboard with it. African folks like to do extra at times. It seems as if whatever you introduce to black folks they tend to over do it even more than the people who introduced it to them.
Ochiban: for an outsider o, lagos will look like hell. Now while i dont appreciate the uncomplimentary picture he used for Lagos (as if it was on the river that he used ATM), i will agree that Lagos is tough to live in. I think the real reason why he rated lagos worst was because Lagos doesnt make any SENSE! there are no rules, anything goes.
In Dafur, you know for sure you could get shot. In Phillipines, you can get kidnapped. In Liberia, you can get ebola. In Lagos....you are not sure what you will face. I live in Abuja. I go to Lagos one time, its area boys that are the problem. Next time, its "one chance" bus that i have to be careful of. Next time, its killer indomie.
You never know what can deal with you in Lagos and that's what foreigners cant handle. You have to sharp and on your feet at all times. i remember the first time i went to Mushin to see a boyfriend several years ago. It was festival time and before you know it, a masquerade was harassing me and my boyfriend. He paid the masquerade and he left us alone. My boyfriend said the way i was walking and looking made me a direct target. EXCUSE ME? I was walking straight and looking ahead, i wasn't looking lost or like JJC. He said I was smiling. No one smiles in Mushin. SO smiling when you are walking makes you a target for people to obtain you? Na wa o. If this makes sense to you, you are from Lagos. If you are still scratching your head as I still am, you are JJC.
If I am a nigerian and i dont understand, abeg pity a poor foreigner.
By the way, i'm sure he tried to collect money from foreign currency bank account and the ATM suaved him with exchange rate. Thats why he felt he got the wrong amount. Same thing would have happened to him if he sat in a bank with a real human
My sister, an outsiders view point is the most valuable of perspectives.
