Ibas3454: Our Nigeria university design should copy....
No freaking way!! 🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️👎🏿
My alma mater sits on a massive, sprawling 7,000-hectare empire. Why on earth should we copy a cramped-up, concrete-jungle prison?
Oga no be by stacking buildings oo, e get as book go knock you off balance reach, you go wan stroll reach dam side or drama village, or even botanical garden just to walk the stress off and sit with nature.
Kalulu44: Good morning ladies and gentlemoi-moi of the great NL house. The picture of the house/apartment I posted is located in Igbesa area of Ogun state and has 1,2,3 bedroom apartments. This area is predominantly dominated by 50% students, 30% Chinese workers who are predominantly casual workers and not staffs or senior staffs. The rest 20% are family men and women, artisans and apprentices. . The starting price of the 1 bedroom apartment is 650k, meaning the 2 and 3 bed will be higher. And I can bet with anything that before the end of July it will be fully occupied. Now I want to ask you guys, who do you think the owner of this property is targeting as tenants? 1. The students 2. The Chinese workers 3. The families and artisan and labor workers Or The pressers and scammers who are predominantly in number 1 and somehow in number 2 and I can't say of number 3. . As for me, I am not going to sugar coat it. 90% of those who will rent that apartments are majorly students who are agba pickers "Yahoo guys" and the 10% will be students and normal guys from rich homes. What say you, lets have your say?
naptu2: Ilebaye Odinniya is the winner of Big Brother Season 8 (2023).
According to a friend of Ilebaye, "Ilebaye’s mother had allegedly left her husband in 2024 because of domestic violence, and there is now a new wife in the house.
When she was leaving, she only left with her female children, because her husband took custody of the boys.
Ilebaye heard her brothers weren’t well taken care of so she went to her father’s house yesterday to see them, and that was when her father started beating her up".
According to someone close to Ilebaye, police officers are currently at Ilebaye’s location, but her father has refused to open his gate to them.
Ilebaye’s mother had allegedly left her husband in 2024 because of domestic violence, and there is now a new wife in the house.
Ilebaye’s dad is now sharing his side of the story 💔
• According to Ilebaye’s father, he revealed that when Ilebaye auditioned for the Big Brother Naija house, he supported her and when she went into the house the second time, himself and his friend supported her as she was up for eviction every week.
• He revealed that after she won the Big Brother Naija All Stars season, she grew distant and refused to reach out to him.
• He said he called her countless times and has been trying to see her more than 6 times so himself and Ilebaye can go to the people who supported her and appreciate them.
• He also asked Ilebaye to take some of the money she got and help the less privileged, but Ilebaye refused to listen to him.
• He said the hotel Ilebaye has been posting online as her own belongs to him and he has been really angry about the type of lifestyle she’s living. He feels she’s going on a self-destructive path.
• He condemned Ilebaye for doing face reconstruction with fillers and getting a BBL. He expressed his disappointment, saying she’s too young for that.
• He said there were times she would have misunderstandings with her mom and he would be the one trying to make peace between them, but Ilebaye never regarded him as a father.
• He revealed that when he scolded her, instead of being scared or showing remorse, Ilebaye would charge towards him and hit him.
• He accused her of hitting him twice without him saying anything because he loved her so much and she means a lot to him because she’s his favorite child.
• He addressed the viral video, saying he hit her out of provocation to scold her because she was disrespectful to him and wouldn’t regard him with respect.
• He said Ilebaye has not been nice to him financially, as he revealed that he’s battling high blood pressure. He had a medical check-up in Dubai and called Ilebaye to please help him with some funds, promising to refund her when he returned.
• Ilebaye told him she didn’t have money, but to his surprise, he saw her video circulating online where she was spraying bundles of naira at Cross wedding.
• He also addressed the mother situation, saying she’s always running away from the house and sometimes it would take her 8 months to come back, and that would only happen after the intervention of pastors.
• He said he discussed his displeasure with Ilebaye and Ilebaye supported him in divorcing her mother, only for him to divorce her and Ilebaye to fight him over it.
• He pleaded with Nigerians to forgive him and Ilebaye as they would like to resolve the family issues offline. He said he was arrested for hitting her, but it has been settled and the police have invited him again.
“Ilebaye will hit me anytime I try to talk to her. I asked her to lend me money for my medical check-up in Dubai and she refused but she was spraying money at Cross wedding. I hit her out of provocation to scold her because I can’t watch her destroy her life”
My thoughts? Lemme be a Nigerian and answer questions with questions.
Which of the points above justifies giving someone you claim to love so much the kind of panel-beating he gave her?
How does his action help to rectify any of the issues he listed?
E get one age wey your pikin go reach all you can do is advise and pray for them. They're their own people and they're mature enough to bare the full consequences of their actions. It's not easy, it's painful to watch someone you love go astray but but violence is never the solution.
shumuel: Oga, those women are mothers they know why they asked the questions
Oga that's disrespectful. Will they have asked these questions to an average 30 year old man? What has their being mothers got to do with anything? Did he tell you that he's not a father?
— High Chief Lawrence Igbins Okoro (@HighChiefOkoro) May 10, 2026
Bro is very patient tho. Can't imagine being disrespected like that and still smiling. Maybe he's used to it. Asking him how old he is as if he's a child, then even laughing "how possible" madam respect yourself! Very annoying set of human beings
Hard to believe I grew up watching these charlatans... It feels like a lifetime ago now. Business continues to the next generation of Lambs. Or will Doug Weiss steal it away?
ANCHOR (THULASIZWE): Tell us about the new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa. Perhaps there is a pathway to heightened diplomatic engagement, if you look at the meeting that happened in Nigeria and now we're hearing of a delegation coming, as well as what you are about to tell us about a new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa.
CORRESPONDENT (SOPHIE): Yes, both countries are working very hard to try and find a solution, because both countries need each other... And now today we saw breaking news in the afternoon. At the moment, there's no high commissioner of Nigeria in Pretoria. There's an acting high commissioner, as you saw him now.
There's an announcement that the permanent or Ambassador designate, or High Commissioner designate, is coming now, and he did post on social media, quite promising comments where he expressed the view that he was supposed to be posted in Germany, but he chose to come to South Africa, and requested that he rather come to South Africa because he feels that he supports South Africa's international position, particularly on multilateralism and other issues. And therefore, in terms of his convictions and beliefs, it sounds like he's a good politician. He feels this country is a shining example at the global stage, and he resonates with the positions of South Africa at global level, resonates with his conviction and his belief, and therefore that was promising.
Even though there are kind of disturbing comments from the new Minister of Foreign Affairs who was appointed on Friday when she talks about the telephone conversation with our Minister of international relations. There were some words used in the statement that are disturbing where she talks about judicial killings, and it is almost similar to President Donald Trump's language as it relates to the Afrikaners, because there's no judicial killings in South Africa. It's this rising tension that leads to conflict and violence and criminality also coming in opportunistic stand off, because it's election year, and therefore it's a complex matter. And therefore I think South Africa would also feel aggrieved with the use of "judicial killings".
THULASIZWE: Sophie to quote, and I have that tweet by the ambassador designate to South Africa, Femi Fani Kayode, who was meant, as you say, to have been deployed to Germany, but actually made representations to President Bola Tinubu to say, please send me to South Africa. And he says, quote, "I also express the fact that I would rather serve in a country that shares some of my convictions, beliefs and values when it comes to world affairs, that is the biggest economy in Africa, that has closer ties to Nigeria and that is more proximate to my political thinking when it comes to foreign affairs and a Pan African vision. End quote."
Sophie is good at her job, no doubt, but even she can't explain away how vile ordinary South Africans are. The countries whose citizens you're mobbing are your biggest trading partners on the continent. If they come together and decide to punish you for your xenophobic activities, the opportunities you're envying their citizens for will disappear from your own country.
As for FFK, forget the flowery words about alignment, his fallout with his host is inevitable.
MaxInDHouse: Of course you can't imprison anyone who disagrees with your political party but then EXCOMMUNICATING such a person will prevent a lot of confusion in the party.
Today the population of the world is about 10,000,000,000 inhabitants but Jehovah's Witnesses globally are not up to 9,000,000 which means if anyone is ostracized or excommunicated in that organization he or she still have over 9,000,000,000 people to replace JWs. The ratio is 1000+ against 1 so what is the reason why they can't forget about JWs if truthfully they have meaningful ideas that could work elsewhere?
The truth is they have taken peace of mind as something they can opt for as in want whereas to JWs peace of mind is a need something we can't trade for anything.
You can't eat your cake and have it the best thing to do is choose between eating your cake and having it.
Meanwhile the guy coming here to malign God's organization can you ask him a simple question?
Since he was a JW and he has left the organization has he found peace in any other religious group?
Your thread is about how religions chokes peace in our society but here is a religion that stands out differently so if anyone feels he still disagree with the organization let them go and find peace elsewhere!🙂
MaxInDHouse: I won't use the Bible to answer your questions because it's obvious you don't believe our book so let's reason intelligently.
Imagine a society harming themselves but a small group began learning how they can stop the bad habit whoever joins them already knew what to stop doing and that's how the group keeps getting members after teaching them how to avoid getting into trouble. Please how would you treat someone who has learned so much, vowed to stop hurting himself and others but later chose to go back to his old lifestyle where they are hurting themselves and others?
I will say such a person should be quarantined so as not to infect others which means cutting off closeness with him or her since he or she already knew the implications but chose to endanger his life and others close to him!
What do you say?🙂
How did you reach the conclusion that I don't believe your book? How is that obvious? You're right tho. I think these books (sometimes) have nice stories that teach important lessons but that's about it.
Your analogy is not entirely wrong, it is what we do to criminals in society by putting them in prisons. But you don't go imprisoning anyone that disagrees with your political party, do you? Difference of opinion is not a crime. Classifying everyone that changes their mind and disagrees with your religion as "hurting themselves and others" is outrageous!
Our ability to change our minds is essential to individual and human progress. Hasn't your religion also changed its mind about certain things as it evolved? Children who grow up within the system, get fed these beliefs—indoctrination is not uniquely JW—should be free to question their beliefs and when it doesn't add up, change or drop it altogether.
This is normal for a healthy mind. Dropping their faith doesn't automatically make them bad people. Or are you saying we're all evil people because we don't believe what you believe?
That said, I think ostracism is religion's immune system. It uses it to protect itself from falling apart from within. Without it, or the fear of it, your halls could go empty. 😛
Double0h7: What is a food that you thought you hated and now you absolutely love?
For me, it is masa.
it's a popular food in Northern Nigeria. People often eat it during celebrations.
When I was five years old, I ate masa at Christmas. After that, I became very sick with a high fever. As a child, I thought masa made me sick, so I avoided it for a long time.
Now, I love masa. I eat it as a special treat.
Another one is beans.
As a child I hated beans in every form—porridge oo, akara, moimoi, I no dey like anything wey get beans, even when beans is mixed rice I dey pick am out. Today the story is the opposite.
MaxInDHouse: Ironically it's Christianity but Satan has established false religion and multiplied them in thousands so that if care is not taken you can't identify true Christianity where tens of thousands of sects are all claiming Christians with their contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines. Matthew 13:25
But the true God allowed Satan and his human agents to play around for centuries until He sent His holy spirit to separate faithful people throughout the world and gather them in a group {Matthew 13:30} so when they are all hinging to that group name (CHRISTIANS) which they have defamed with their atrocities the true God began calling His own worshipers by another group name: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15
See what many people including atheists are saying about the true Christian group:
Matthew 5:14-16🙂
Wow! I like how you've collected testimonials across time and accounts. You're a good salesman 😜 but seriously your evangelism game is strong. I use to stop at your magazine stands to interact with your members that year, it seems everything has disappeared. I can't remember the last time I've seen a JW!
I sha appreciate how respectful y'all are. Religious groups in Nigeria that are like that can be counted on one hand. From the ones that'll block road on Fridays to the ones that'll keep people up with vigil. They preach "love thy neighbour" with their lips but their hearts are full of ignorance, pride and hatred.
Is it true that you run your religion like a cult? There's massive internal pressure to conform, ostracizing nonconformists, plus to leave na war.
On the 18th of November, 2025, my family and I narrowly escaped being kidnapped by bandits at our residence in Zamfara State.
At the time, my family lived in Zamfara while I managed my business in Kano. Because of this, I traveled from Kano to Zamfara about twice every month to check on my family and spend time with them.
We had been searching for a new apartment after our landlord sold the house we were living in and gave us notice to vacate. Finding accommodation in Zamfara was extremely difficult because of the insecurity caused by bandit attacks in many villages. As a result, many families had relocated from rural communities to the state capital for safety, making houses scarce and expensive.
I instructed my family to look for a house within the city. Eventually, they found a three-bedroom apartment in Tsauni, along the Sokoto bypass. Since I was in Kano at the time, my wife showed me the apartment through a video call. I advised her to ask people around about the security of the area before we made any payment.
She told me that some of her colleagues lived in that neighborhood, so I personally called one of them to confirm if the environment was safe. I was told that the area was peaceful and that the apartment was even located close to a police station. After making my inquiries, I transferred the payment for the apartment to the agent.
I then told my wife to begin preparations for moving into the new apartment, and I promised to travel to Zamfara when they were ready to move in.
On the day my family planned to move, I arrived early in the morning from Kano to inspect the house myself. When I got there, [b]I immediately felt uncomfortable with the environment. From my years of traveling across Northern Nigeria and my understanding of how bandits operate, something about the area did not sit well with me. [/b]Unfortunately, we had already paid for the apartment and moved in.
Initially, I intended to stay with my family for only three days before returning to Kano. However, I kept feeling uneasy. Something deep inside me urged me to stay longer. After one week, I still did not feel at peace, and again I felt strongly that I should remain with my family for another week.
Then came the day that changed everything.
On the 18th of November, 2025, all my children had gone to school, and my wife had gone to work. I was alone at home when two men arrived and knocked on our gate.
I went outside to meet them. They claimed they were looking for the person who had previously lived in the house. I told them that I was a new tenant and did not know the former occupant. I advised them to contact the landlord instead.
The moment they left, I became deeply suspicious. Something in my mind immediately warned me that we should not sleep in that house that night.
I called my wife and told her that the family would not spend the night there. She asked what had happened, and I explained my encounter with the two men. Although she did not fully understand my fears, I had already made up my mind.
I contacted a friend of mine who had extra rooms in his compound and informed him that my family would stay at his place that night.
I also instructed my son to arrange for a vehicle that could help us move our belongings because I had decided that we would no longer continue living in that house.
By around 2 p.m., when my wife and children returned home from work and school, we began gathering our belongings in the compound while waiting for the vehicle to arrive.
At about 6 p.m., we called the driver, and he told us he was on his way. We waited until sunset and later went to the mosque for the Maghrib prayer around 7 p.m., but the driver still had not arrived.
After the prayer, we called him again, and this time he told us he would no longer be able to come until the following morning.
As we walked back from the mosque, I noticed several unfamiliar faces around the area. My fear increased immediately. I quickly gathered my children and told them we would not sleep in the house that night.
When we got home, I informed my wife that the driver would not come until morning. Since we could not move our belongings immediately, I decided to move the family out quietly without attracting attention.
I escorted two people at a time from the house to the main road, then returned for the others. I repeated this process until I had safely taken every member of my family, including my wife and children, to the roadside.
After escorting everyone out, I returned to the house alone because I did not want anyone in the neighborhood to suspect that we were leaving out of fear.
I stayed inside for about ten more minutes before quietly locking the gate and walking to join my family at the main road. It was around 8 p.m.
Less than ten minutes after we gathered there, one of my son’s friends, who lived in the second house nearby, called him and asked where we were.
When my son told him that we were no longer at home, the boy said that armed bandits had just invaded our house.
According to him, three armed men had jumped over our fence and entered the compound. When residents in the area noticed them, people immediately ran toward the nearby police station for safety.
After the bandits entered our compound and discovered that our belongings had already been packed together, they apparently realized something was wrong and jumped back over the fence.
On their way out, they kidnapped some people they encountered nearby.
The next morning, after daybreak, I returned to the house and then went straight to the police station to report the incident. I also informed the police that they should contact the landlord because I no longer wanted the apartment and wanted my money refunded. We had lived in the house for only two weeks.
That was how my family and I narrowly escaped being kidnapped by bandits that night and God saved us.
Lessons I Learned
1. Avoid living in isolated areas, especially places surrounded by empty plots, construction sites, or uncompleted buildings. Such locations can provide hiding places and easy access for criminals.
2. Never ignore danger signs or delay moving when you feel unsafe. Quick decisions can save lives.
3. Criminals often rely on information from people within or around a community. Residents should stay alert and be cautious about suspicious activities or unusual interest in their homes and movements.
4. Whenever you notice unfamiliar or suspicious people repeatedly appearing around your neighborhood, report it immediately to the police or local security authorities.
We will continue to pray for our security personnel because the situation of insecurity in Nigeria is beyond what anyone can predict when it will end.
Insightful, thanks for sharing.
Please also share what exact signs you noticed that made you uncomfortable with the environment, and what your years of traveling across Northern Nigeria and the understanding of how bandits operate has taught you about personal security.
Thanks.
Also, why didn't you move your family to Kano earlier?
MaxInDHouse: There is only one God (Creator) so there is only one true religion the reason why no one has come to comment on this thread should tell you that they don't know what exactly their religion is doing. Darkness is what the Bible God call religions that's false because worshipers can't explain what exactly their religion teaches or the practical sense/benefits of their religion they are in spiritual darkness.
Just wait and see if any religion can come up to prove they have something worthwhile doing! 🙂
MaxInDHouse: There is only one true religion as i have said and globally that is what we are doing! 🙂
I appreciate your religion respecting the peace of others. Truly. But you see that one true religion talk, that's your opinion bro. Ask every other religion out there and chances are it'll tell you the same, it's the only one true religion. It's the nature of most religion to take that stance, and at its core, that is more political than spiritual.
In fact, I'm automatically suspicious of any religion that says it is THE ONLY ONE TRUE religion because there's no such thing. It only serves to alienate other people.
Religion serves a purpose, and if your specific one serves you well as a person, what's the point of invalidating the next guy's if his does the same for him? You like Coke, he's a Pepsi guy. At the end of the day, it's all soda. It quenches your thirst and gives you diabetes 😛
Well... except when, reasonably speaking, there are aspects of his religion that are harmful for society, which quite frankly every religion has its share of toxicity be default, then it becomes everyone's responsibility, even its own more reasonable adherents, to speak out against those aspects.
MaxInDHouse: There is only one true religion and we don't disturb neighbor's peace with noise {Isaiah 42:2} instead we pay them a courtesy visit as neighbors {Matthew 10:11-13} who are concerned about mankind's future {Matthew 10:7} due to circumstances some may say they are not interested we will move quietly to the next door or house but in most cases many who have turned us down during the first visit often welcome us at other times perhaps due to disturbing questions lingering in their hearts that's why we don't give up on our neighbors but as regards noise we follow the part of our founder whose voice is not heard in the streets! Matthew 12:19
Good on you! I wish more of your religious mates follow the same protocol.

jesusjnr2020: Atheist Artemis II commander Converts To Christianity After Trip To Moon
The Artemis II commander, Reid Wiseman, who was said to be a self-confessed atheist, said after returning from his trip to the moon, despite not being a religious person, he had no other avenue to express what they had seen and experienced in space, so he asked for the Navy chaplain to visit them, and despite never seeing the man before, when the man came and he saw the cross on his collar, he broke down and wept:
We live in an amazingly mind-blowing universe. Awe at the wonder that is reality is part of the human experience. I think religion provides the avenue to express that beautifully. I think this is part of why religion is such a ubiquitous phenomenon. The sheer, awe-inspiring nature of reality—from the secret and mysterious subatomic realm to the scale of the universe—demands an outlet. That, and the questions of why and who is responsible for creation.
In my experience, however, I find that being without religion doesn't take away from this innate appreciation for the wonder that life and reality is. Neither am I bugged down by the questions of why or the specifics of who—at least not anymore, because the answer is beyond human comprehension it seems to me.
I find it unfortunate that the evil element in our nature would hijack this beautiful tendency and channel it to create influence and power for itself through religion. Hatred, division, oppression, exploitation, et al, result from the uglifying nature of this evil will to power.
Because where in this clip did he say he converted to Christianity? I don't need to read the entire thread to know that the beauty of this brave commander's realization is lost on us, overshadowed by religious bigotry.
It is said that at a Politburo meeting, Joseph Stalin reportedly plucked a live chicken until it was bare and bleeding. Once the bird was shivering and traumatized, he offered it a handful of grain.
To the surprise of the onlookers, the chicken—despite the torture—followed Stalin everywhere to stay near its only source of food.
Stalin then turned to his colleagues and explained: "This is how you govern the people. Brutalize them, strip them of everything, and then give them a pittance. They will forget the pain and follow you like a hero."
I want to raise something that has bothered me about how we practice religion in this country, and I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing it.
In many parts of Nigeria today, it has become normal for places of worship to use very loud speakers late into the night, sometimes past midnight, sometimes till morning, especially during vigils and special programs.
I understand that people have every right to practice their religion freely, but at what point does that freedom begin to infringe on the rights of others?
There are people living around these areas who need to sleep; workers, students, elderly people, even sick individuals, heck every other person not in your gathering. Yet they are forced to endure hours of loud noise they did not sign up for, with no real option to mute it.
What makes it more concerning is that the same religions emphasize love, consideration, and respect for others. Should worship come at the expense of your neighbour's peace and wellbeing?
I'm not trying to attack any religion or group. Wuna know wuna selves, and this is simply about respect for neighbours in a shared environment.
Other countries regulate noise levels at night regardless of who is making it; church, mosque, club, or event centre. Why our own go always dey different?
I would really like to hear people's thoughts:
- Have you experienced this personally? - How do you deal with it?

Oga Sanusi kenan! A whole Central Bank Governor of the Year that year, if you ask us na who we go ask?
You wey already know wetin dey sup, na borrow to loot nah! Say it with your full chest! 😆
That said, let's not forget Nigeria has borrowed so much to the point where a large chunk of the revenue that flows in today goes straight to loan servicing (debt servicing to revenue ratio of upto 97%)... plus some of these loans are oil-for-cash; meaning we don already sell oyel wey dey ground, so we getting zero revenue from a tangible portion of the crude extracted today. Zero $$ for at least 120K barrels/day. To put it in context, on the best of days we extract about 1.3M barrels/day.
So why do we borrow when we've removed subsidy and own a refinery? Because we still broke AF, expenditure exceeds income and we need to borrow the monies we need for today's needs. How about taxes from the refinery? Well, Dangote is still enjoying his tax holiday, so there's minimal to no corporate tax revenue from there plus the refinery is sitting pretty in Lekki Free Trade Zone so even after the tax holiday, there's VAT, import duty and other waivers.
