..BB 9ja tins, off season!

illicit:
I am flabbergasted

Ghastly indeed!

I guess he was supposed to bounce uninvited guests out of the club, not out of this world.

Ogun again? I taya!
.. let's thank God she's still alive.

MartinCorridon:
I'm a Muslim and it is extremely stupid to subsidise Hajj.

God instructed us to go ONLY if we can afford the trips.

Trillions have been wasted on pilgrimage to Mecca and Jerusalem while our own country has continued to rot.

We are the most religious. We pay tithes in churches and go for Hajj.

Same set of "religious" people embezzle, cheat and rape their maids.

Always said it. If I become President, will immediately stop subsidising Hajj and tax the hell out of churches.

You will refuse to pay taxes but you're loyal to paying tithes. Yet Jesus said " Give unto to Caesar what's Caesar's and give unto God what's God".

Funny enough, Arabs and Jews hate Blacks more than excreta yet we Africans have adopted their gods as superior to ours.

Thought provoking!

Any "Hope"?

Hallelujah somebody!

Peter532:
I am at the park about to travel and just saw the driver i paid my fare to Just downed 2 sachet of action bitter at a Go.. you might be wondering why I am scared, because the last time I drank it, I couldn't finish one sachet and I know how I felt the whole time. I expressed my concerns to another passenger because we were still waiting for about two other people to complete and he said I shouldn't worry myself. That nothing will happen, they are experienced drivers in no time we will get there. I don't know if I should take my money back and endure the time wasted then enter another loading moto.

I believe you're at your destination now.

Blue black?
.. maybe he was testing for starch.

At first, it sounded like the story of a school principal who was exposing his delinquent son on the morning assembly but on second thoughts, it may be possible that someone is about to wake up from a coma of denial, if you catch my drift.

May Nigerian teacher's receive a part of their rewards here on earth (.. even if upfront). They go through so much to impart knowledge in us!

Vineyard2:
Nigeria will be great again in our lifetime

I pray so! 🙏🏾

The sad part is that the whole process of prosecution and trial starts all over with the time consuming effect and the possibility of another loophole for escape again.

Good thinking from Sun King and great CSR as well. 👍🏿
Just wondering if the gentleman in the 3rd row of pics, whom I assume I the MD has some affiliation with the police force. His native wear material sef looks like police uniform.

ttmax09:
What the country needs is a death sentence penalty against kidnapping, and the law been implemented. Then kidnapping will reduce, desperate people now see kidnapping as a get rich quick scheme and success rate high, hence kidnapped very rampant.

I concur, Sir!

MrSly:
But you that bandits kidnap your whole village does not need mercenaries. Nigerians are not meant to be one. Most of them up North and west reason through their anus.

I can hazard a guess of your score in your school cert. English, perhaps the reason why your post makes little sense.
You may choose to retype it in your local dialect so that Nairaland can understand you better.

Sorry to read about your situation, @Yinabim. If your in-laws are showing you little or no compassion, your own family may be the immediate recourse for support in this situation.
I imagine that things may not be easy, but you've got to stay strong, especially for your daughter.
.. like they say, "time heals yesterday." May you find the healing you need.

For people down south, mercenaries may be better suited in wiping out the kidnappers in our forests, as the scourge seems to go on unabated.

(Band) A for Anambra..

Seems you were "peppered"!

DelilahMakinde:
Ok ...my warranty is expired anyway

OK then, best of luck with your search.

DelilahMakinde:
No I waybilled them from Canada.

I may have to physically ship them back or go there myself which isn't likely now .

There's usually someone, somewhere around, and somehow, who can fix them if you just hold on to them long enough.

DelilahMakinde:
Good day to you all

I have 2 invicta chronograph watches which have broken down

I bought new battery's for them both but to no avail

Is there anyone who specializes in fixing these watches or can I throw them away?

Why don't you get in touch with the seller if you bought them here in 9ja, they usually recommend people who can fix them.

Love800:
So you don't enter okada?

Not on busy roads or highways but perhaps within an estate setting or quiet roads, and I'm breathing down the rider's neck.

DelilahMakinde:
But was the bleeding worth it ?

Probably not.

Well, the moral of the story for kids is laid bare, stay clear of Delilah's.. (cough cough)!

Quite inspiring (depending on how you see it..).
There are geniuses out there who bagged 3rd class degrees from school.
.. a few names readily come to mind.

This country is replete with talent!

DelilahMakinde:
That's how a kid rammed my behind ie SUV and went airborne across the road...
Bleeding like a pig....
I let him go since he already got his reward.

.. he probably got carried away with Delilah's "behind"! 🤭

I've never been a proponent for motorbikes in this clime.
As quick, time saving and enjoyable as the ride may be, for me, the cons still far outweigh the pros.
With the road rage and lawlessness that goes on daily on our roads, even adorning the full gear offers very little protection for the lives of the riders.

zeuss:
Why did the innocent citizens of Gaza rejoice when innocent Israeli citizens were killed and their mutilated bodies were paraded inbroad day light. Why won't the innocent citizens of Gaza and Lebanon stop the terror actors from storing and firing missiles from the children's bedroom........ innocence is more than just a word......the madness is tolerance for terrorism never the defence against it. Israel is safer and so Israel is truly winning.

I've not taken sides my brother. I'm just questioning where our humanity as "beings" now is.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the IDF's strike on Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut on Friday, the IDF announced Saturday morning.

Early life and rise to power
Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, has led the Shia militant and political organization since 1992. Born in Beirut in 1960, Nasrallah started his political journey in the Amal Movement before joining Hezbollah in the early 1980s. Under his leadership, Hezbollah grew into a powerful force with significant military capabilities and political influence in Lebanon.

Hezbollah’s conflicts with Israel
Hezbollah, under Nasrallah's command, has frequently clashed with Israel, with notable confrontations like the 2006 Lebanon War. Nasrallah’s leadership during these conflicts has boosted his popularity, especially among those who view Hezbollah as a symbol of resistance against Israeli occupation.

Despite the heavy toll on Lebanon, Hezbollah emerged with a narrative of defiance and survival that Nasrallah has used to galvanize support​.

Recent escalations and challenges
In recent weeks, tensions have escalated as Israel continues targeted strikes against Hezbollah, focusing on its operatives and infrastructure. Nasrallah has condemned these actions as acts of war, accusing Israel of targeting civilian areas in Lebanon. He vowed retaliation, warning that Hezbollah is prepared for a prolonged confrontation if necessary​.

Strategic position and future threats
While Nasrallah projects confidence, he also faces significant challenges, including military setbacks and internal Lebanese opposition. Israeli officials, like retired IDF Colonel Kobi Marom, argue that this is an opportune moment to strike at Hezbollah’s leadership to prevent future escalations.

Nasrallah’s cautious approach reflects a delicate balance between military engagement and avoiding a broader conflict that could undermine Hezbollah’s position​.

Sadly, there are no overt winners in this mad and gorry slaughter of humans.
If I was an Israeli who had lost a loved on in last October's mayhem, no amount of slaughter of Gazan's and Hezbollah’s hierarchy will assuage the pain being felt and for Israel, no amount of retribution is adequate but in reality, the innocent people who die everyday have a right to life just as the slain Israelis did.
So how long will the world observe from a distance the madness going on in the Middle East?
Like they say, it's the beginning of war we know.. no one knows how it will turn out.
Lord have mercy!

Can't the student sue for royalty?
