I know say "igboro" no easy, but this must be a skit abeg!

Selfish couple... Soon enough, they'll succumb to old age and leave the child to be raised in the hands of cruel relatives.

I'm quite surprised this is coming from a respected contributor in this section.
The ultimate wish of most African couples is to consumate their union into a family through the birth of a child.
This couple has waited for about 20 years and to say the least, I would have expected you to wish them well, or am I missing something here, @Samantha125?

It would make a good study for further analysis. Could there be an interplay between the percentage rate and a country's socio-economic status as compared with the influence of socio-cultural values in such countries? Also the ease of obtaining data may have been responsible for absence of African countries.
The data provided seems interesting.

"Oshio Baba"!!!
I give you "tiri" gbosa
There's so much I could say here, but let me summarise with Bob Marley's words.. "you can fool all of the people some of the time or some of the people all the time but you cannot fool all of the people, all of the time"!!
I rest my case!

They have moved to the new trend " electronic transmission of results "

They forget that vote buying is still a real tool to settle elections.

When a candidate or governor offers 50k per day to 50,000 youths for 30 days before the election, let's see whether it won't influence the final vote tally.

..
Just did the math, and it came to 75 billion naira!
It's very scary to think of a political candidate expending such an amount for a senatorial or gubernatorial ambition, and you expect them not to recoup their investment?
Mehn, the political class, are truly the enemy of the people, while we, the people that fall for the same tricks, are the enemies of progress!!

Samantha125:
So men watch reality shows as well? I might be a woman, but I personally never liked them.

I'd rather watch cartoons than a reality tv show.

.. such ladies (as you) often have a good sense of humour.

That's why marriage/relationship counsellors reveal, those type of ladies are liable to die young!

Nothing is beneath this guy. It's such a shame!

If we can start a programme called Wonders in Naija. This Dangote refinery will be called the No. 1 Wonder in Naija.
I'm mystified how he did it, against all odds. We must industrialize - fix our Steel and Power sectors ..we just have to unlock our potentials as a nation.

The Nigerian dream is possible. We're starting from somewhere.

It's an end result of deprivation of our psyche by years of serial oppression by those we had entrusted with our liberation.
So, a little advancement in life, via the opportunity of travel, is exaggerated as a major achievement!
PS.. I hope all this grammar is making Oga Obaiagbon proud of his mentees.

These elements are the worst of the worst in society with the utmost probability of blood on their hands.
Why the dignity of shielding their faces after the arrest? Of what use are they to society after the arrests? How do you deter others from this profitable venture if the most retribution is temporary incarceration and then reintegration into society?
These are many questions that weigh on one's mind when one could've been relieved of the burden had they been sent the same way as majority of their victims!

This is how you create 'generational wealth' in political circles!

It must've helped him build a "solid foundation" which has transformed into a good political career!

The guy is in-between a rock and a hard place, from the powers that be. Otherwise, why is he acting like he's being caged?
We can only pray for the people of Rivers that they're liberated from the 'principalities' holding the state to ransom!

Afe Babalola is the name of the University you have in mind.

The Joseph Ayodele Babalola that rings bell in your mind is the founder of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola



We learn every day

Thank you, sir!
So many bells 🔔 ring in our minds everyday!

JUST IN: President Tinubu returns after Türkiye State visit

Jejely down the stairs o, Baba!

Congratulations, young man!
Greater heights I pray for you.
.. but isn't Joseph Ayodele Babalola also the name of a university?

It's called 'optics'!

Yuletide is over, no more happy new year. We're back to the reality of yoyo and pendulum pricing of petrol.
Btw, will the price of diesel also follow the trend?

From the name of the assailant, one can tell that he's also an immigrant who probably hasn't gone as far in life hence the deep set hatred for a young Afro-American who has her act together.
So he plays the race card as an escape from his reality.

It might be a little tricky to know if he's acting or really serious when he's in the palace.
Congratulations, Kabiyesi!

The Republicans lost the midterms the moment he won the last elections!

Just wondering what the post merger name may be.. Unity-Providus (like the UBA-Standard Trust Bank model), or "Provide-Us-Unity"!

Sounds like "Wike/Fubara 3.0" but on a global scale!

REALretep:
The only difference between Trump and former US presidents is that Trump does his doings publicly while they did theirs in secret.

Former US presidents have been giving orders to many other presidents but discreetly. Trump no send anybody papa. He gives his orders publicly

You just redefined "diplomacy" sir!

The world is gradually becoming "flat" as against being spherical.
There's an adage.. "we may know the beginning of a conflict but no one knows how it will end"!

Prokaryote:
What a great lost....To those who lost there properties ,may God succor you.

Kind words from @Prokaryote.
.. you're truly a "Eukaryote." Amen!

"Three square meal" for thought!

Election season is here, TonyeBarcanista is back!

You forgot to add that it also came in an estate (station wagon), a favorite of interstate transport from back in the day!

Shall we call this "friendly fire"?

Well, I guess the decision to fire him was also personal and not politically motivated.
