That statue does not look anything like fela

My thoughts too..the face..those legs and trousers too. Fela was a slim man.

Good products! Kudos.

Hope he has resolved his issues with GTB. The company needs to soar higher.

If you know where everybody can get then it would solve the problem but sincerely the stone is a big problem

Elephant, Big Bull and Mama Pride are available in some big stores like Spar and the markets. I passed by Simpson Rd (Sura) on the Island recently and I saw the last two on display. Certainly you'll get them in some other local markets too.

Elephant Group is in Ikeja.

This could be in the other way round. With much local industries coming up competition among them will be much and price will surely go down and quality improved without much chemicals and preservatives as it is in foreign rice. Coscharis industries has done a great job https://www.nairaland.com/5413243/automated-coscharis-rice-mill-igbariam , Olam group is doing great in rice expansion so for others too. It will be better soon. As I said earlier the brewing industry did it, music industry did it other sectors can do it.

Exactly!

The stone is actually the problem with the Nigerian rice if it’s stone free then it’s okay

Buy the milled stone free local brands.

Doing us proud! Congrats!

taneez:
Ahhh I don't know where you people are seeing good Nigerian rice (apart from ofada). Someome gifted us a bag of mama gold rice some years back and we couldn't eat it. We gave it out. Please I need good recommendation from (expert rice eaters) those who know the real difference between horrible, bad, fair, good ,very good and excellent rice. I am used to short grain less starch rice. Thanks

Try Big Bull or Mama Pride. Available in the market or Spar stores. Also there's a brand from Kano being sold at Palms (Game) if you're in Lagos.

Even the so called Nigeria rice are all full of Stones. They never improve on their production yield but can enforced total shut down on our land borders. The rate of appendicitis symptoms will increased tremendously in our various hospitals for this stones and tares in the rice. Very bad .

Buy Big Bull, Mama Pride (Spar) or one from Kano being sold at Game (if you're in Lagos). They're well milled local rice without stones. Some stone free local rice are also available in the market now. Abakaliki, Ekiti, Nassarawa, Kebbi, Ofada and Ilesa rice are good too. Let's patronise our farmers. Besides, our rice is far more nutritious and fresh.

Kidnapping children for sale is most disheartening and a terrible crime which deserves condemnation and serious punishment. They probably got converted superficially when they were sold to non Muslims. East, West, South or North, Christian or Muslim, it's the height of wickedness for anyone to pick up another person's child for sale.

This goes hand in hand with the baby factory issue. It's time to make legal adoption more popular. Maybe that will reduce the urge to abduct other people's children. That's assuming they're not being sold into slavery.

Now I understand all that Aisha Buhari has been saying all along!

Nigeria farmers are wicked and heartless and this border closure will go immediately buhari Regime is over... How can local rice be 17k for 50kg when rice all the away from Asia costs 7 to 8k for 50kg when there was no ban on rice importation...

Imported Asian rice is very stale! It has to be cheaper. Our rice is fresh and more nutritious. With higher rate of production, the price will come down.

It's good to be generous but shouldn't we start from home with the prevailing level of poverty in Nigeria?

What did we get from SA with all the scholarships given in the days of apartheid?

It's a blessing to give anyway. Givers never lack.

All the listed companies have businesses outside Nigeria. CNN cuts across borders so the adverts may be useful.

Our local pineapple is actually better than the Cotonou pineapple in my opinion. Theirs is sweeter but I believe ours is more organic and more nutritious. The ancient organic one is used with some other herbs for curing some ailments.

Karatum:
Why are all the smugglers mentioned in this writeup all yorubas? Is it right to say that they are part of the major problems we have as a nation? Somebody should pls explain to me

The write up is about the Benin border. Residents nearby are mostly Yorubas. The Cameroon and Niger borders will have smugglers of different tribes in their localities.

You should have contacted doctors/specialists to advise you on better ways to have your child. Probably you didn't want your wife to know about your inability to procreate but now your brother may disclose the secret or blackmail you continously.

Your wife may be informed someday. Why not open up to her (hopefully she doesn't get heartbroken) and then jointly work towards having another child with her some other way?

Pray...there's nothing too hard for God to do.

Certainly some innocent people were executed in error then. It has nothing to do with hatred for any tribe...rather the sometimes unfair legal proceedings and the absence of the prerogative of mercy.

Some drug merchants (not Igbos) were also convicted and executed based on a back dated law in the Buhari era.
Unsuccessful coupists and suspected coup planners were also executed. All from different tribes.

Let's stop painting events in tribal colours. The story was touching. The tribal insinuation adds no positive value except to generate hate.

It should rather serve as a lesson for the engendering of a fair and equitable justice system for the good of all.

Good news!

As he has said many times, population control is necessary in the North. Having children that we can't care for is sinful. Unfortunately, people hide under the "go ye and multiply" mantra to breed without control. Sadly they forget to read or ignore the fact that God states in clear terms that our children are our responsibility.

Long term masturbation has some negative consequences.
@Op
Warm up to your wife. What you’re doing is unfair.

He deserves the maximum punishment. Wicked soul!

These days I think we're mixing up suicide with murder cases. The woman appeared to be full of life going by the story. It's wise to investigate some cases at least.

islandmoon:
a lecturer in faculty of law in a north central university, handsome and rich but from eastern state usually tell the girls to go and book hotel room in their name and send him a text message inviting him to the hotel room professing love in the text message.

The guy needs to be set up for real. Wicked soul!

GoTV:
Even though I'm a born again Christian, events like this makes me ashamed to be associated with Christianity and sometimes I'm tempted to join Islam. Majority of the bastards we call pastors are wolfs in sheep clothing. Christianity habours so many madness. No Islamic cleric has been caught in this sexual mess because they are guided accordingly by the tenets of Islam. Is it a coincidence that 3 pastors have been disgraced in few months and many more to come? Islam will soon take over Nigeria cos shameful incidents like this will make many Christians convert to Islam

Islamic clerics do the same. I've heard stories. You can also try Google for more information.

It seems the lady is in exploration mood with her owambe friends. What I find ridiculous is her penchant for spending so much time with her friends (if true) to the detriment of her children.

Even if she's tired of the marriage, it's best to walk away quietly so she can live the life of her dreams. Sadly, she may later regret this especially with regards to the children.

@OP
You need to take a decision promptly for your peace of mind and for the sake of the kids. No one deserves to be mentally stressed for the sake of peace. The children may be unhappy too and that is not good for their mental development.

Sit her down for a heart to heart discussion to know what she really wants. If your goals no longer rhyme and you can't reach a compromise, you should try to agree on the next line of action to suit both parties.

Gerrard59:
Please explain how "organic" tomatoes are "healthy and nutritious"? While on that, kindly explain how "organic's" mode of tomatoes cultivation can supply say Lagos' demand? There is nothing wrong consuming GM tomatoes and like it or not; with climate change, a skyrocketing population, land degradation, desertification and Boko Haram conflicts, GM is the answer.

I've read enough about GMO foods, Monsanto etc to form a personal opinion which does not have to tally with yours. Besides I prefer organic foods. They're better for my personal health. Thanks.

bigtt76:
Tomatoes that matures in 3 months can't be organic more of GMO better than the chemicals we eat in the name of tin tomatoes

Hmmm! Thanks

Great guy! Making Nigeria proud in every way. God bless him much more.

I hope it's not GMO tomatoes.
We're better off with our organic tomatoes which are healthy and nutritious.

All the so called alternative routes are practically unmotorable now. Let’s hope this will be sorted out before the introduction of toll gates again.

As long as they make alternative routes motorable for people, there'll be no issues.

The school is a private school built by Christians albeit within the confines of a public institution. Some of the late Aare Musulumi's children attended the school without issues. There are so many Muslim and public schools in Ibadan. Why is it compulsory for a child to attend a private school with contrary views to hers?
