These people are not Nigerians. Are those Nigerian names? These seem to be people from the Caribbeans and a forced effort by OP to link us with something horrible. You have failed, gack to sender on this one! These are not Nigerians and, on behalf of all Nigerians everywhere, I demand an unequivocal apology from OP for this malicious mischaracterization.

Looking forward to when we'll start locking up Nigerian politicians for using religion and tribe as political tools. Oh wait. They're not breaking any law, just playing the game how it has always been played.

Probably her son from the look of it, and she's trying to teach him radical generosity because how else did she know his dad bought him a shoe from the UK last two weeks? And you can also see some resemblance in their faces.

How many people can comfortably pay rents in the city center running into millions yearly ?

Get in touch with reality.

You don't even have to be at the center to pay rent in millions.

As someone who has lived in Abuja for the past six years and absolutely loves the city, this video feels like a paid propaganda piece.

Addressing the video, the man literally drove down two or three streets in his footage and showed a couple of government offices, a hotel and a club. It’s reminiscent of when you visit a new city and try to get from point A to B and an okada or taxi takes you the long way around to charge more, only to later find out it’s a walking distance apart.

I understand how one can become so accustomed to their surroundings that they stop noticing the finer details and the grand beauty of a place. I also recognize that hype, by its nature, tends to exaggerate. However, certain points need to be clarified:

1. Abuja isn’t 10–20 years old. Abuja became Nigeria's capital on December 12, 1991, but its development began in the 1970s after its designation in 1976. This makes it 33 years old as the capital and about 48 years old since development began.

2. The National Mosque isn’t the most popular landmark in Abuja. More people know "Berger" than central mosque, because it is more central than the mosque actually is.

3. Not every part of Abuja is developed—there are still underdeveloped areas and trenches within and around the city. And more people who live and work in Abuja live in these places than the relatively few bougies in Maitama and Asokoro.

4. Abuja people beat traffic EVERYDAY, it all depends on which ones. There are traffic lights you'll feel like you have 3 heads on your neck if you obey because no one else does.


All said, Abuja is indeed a beautiful city; clean and serene, and a joy to live in (if you can afford to without stress).

For you OT say he is making you loose focus means you no sabi drive. Maybe the man dey tell you tru

I agree with you. Because if he truly has eyes and can see and drive why does he keep entering potholes?

Here's a theory, OP has an inaccurate self-concept as a badass driver and his dad noting what a reckless driver he is is triggering for him because it challenges the self image he has about being a good driver. He forgot daddy has been driving for many years before dey born am. Hin papa na veteran driver, never one serious accident in the entire history of his driving na why the thing dey pain OP. If you check am well scratch scratch go full that hin car, na the kind people wey dey speak English for traffic. Oga! Better calm da hell down and go apologize to your papa, you think you're now grown enough to disrespect the man that gave you life, abi? SMDH.

If you like continue @OP. What goes around, comes around. Na serious beating you go chop from your pikin on top driving.

I love and respect my dad so much
He is old in age but he can still drive

The issue is anytime I'm driving him
Instead of him to relax
He will turn to Conductor every 2 seconds, sometimes he will shout that I'm speeding to fast but I'm not going past 60 kmph


Today I drove him to village and on the way he did the same shouting and telling me to look out for bumps.

This distracts me and makes me lose focus. Out of anger i shouted back at him to keep quiet and allow me drive.
That i have eyes and i can see the bumps

Now i told him that he should never enter my car or unless he will keep quiet and allow me concentrate on my driving.
No talking, he should keep it shut through out the whole journey.

Now he is feeling bad, did i do anything bad??

This is so sad. One day he won't be around, and that day you won't need to ask the Internet if what you did was wrong, you'll know.

"If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? 2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? 6 But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers!

7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters."

Gistmedia10:
A thought-provoking question posed by a lady has taken the internet by storm. In her post, she asked, "Why are most of the uneducated ladies so lucky in finding good husbands?"

This query has sparked a heated debate, with netizens sharing varying opinions on what might be a complex societal phenomenon.

Some believe uneducated women are seen as more traditional or submissive, traits some men prefer, while others credit qualities like kindness or family values over luck.

Critics, however, reject the idea, arguing education doesn’t determine marital success, as educated women also find supportive partners.

The debate has sparked thousands of comments on personal experiences and societal expectations. What’s your take—luck, perception, or something else?

Where's the data or should we just believe you? What do you mean by "uneducated" and who's a good husband? When you say "most" what percentage of the population are you talking about? How many people in this demography have you met?

I can't speak for all 30+ men but as someone who falls in that demography I can tell you that I find that rather odd. Thirty plus men are more likely to be busy hustling and building a life they can be proud of, and don't have time for frivolities like calling multiple girls just to hear their voice. That doesn't mean younger men are less engaged but it's a matter of greater urgency when you're 30+.

My experience as a 30+ man is that more girls are willing to call and check on me than I am willing to pick up, because when you're 30+ and have an apparently stable life you turn into a potential wedding ring in their eyes, and at the end of the day you're already wise enough at that big age to know that female attention in all the forms it takes is often a minus on your resources.

Why is this here? What purpose does it serve? Commissioner's birthday? Ehen, so what? How does it affect the price of garri in the market?

"A prophet has no honour in his own country" is the story of Nigeria. I clicked on this story to see a shambolic box of scrap metal and all the "we too dey celebrate mediocrity for this country" comments under it. However, lo and behold, I saw an impressive job done by a young man younger than me. It's inspiring and I naturally expected some kudos instead of the condescending comments.

If you've never built anything this interesting in your life, you have no right to condemn it because you're just a pathetic, lousy, little hater. If you have built anything significant, you'll know not to condemn good effort but to encourage and offer constructive criticism.

amazinghands:
I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.

Background:
I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.

2010:
While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)

2016:
I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.

On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.

Fast Forward to Today:
I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.

Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.

Am I in the wrong here?

One of the notable things about what you shared with us is that you never felt entitled to his support. I think it's something we, as men, can relate to. We recognize that just because a parent brought us into the world doesn't mean they also have to give us the world. I don't mean to make this about gender, but I've observed that more daughters and sisters tend to feel entitled to what their parent or sibling owns and feel slighted by their decision to spend it on who or what they desire.

Back to the topic—training a child is like investing. The higher your investment, the greater your ROI. You can’t reasonably expect to make more out of the same stock than someone who holds more of it. That said, have you considered that your mother's contribution might have been emotionally exaggerated in significance because she came through for you at a critical juncture? If you objectively quantify in monetary terms how much each parent has contributed to your life, would you still say your mother is on top?

I understand your pain at feeling betrayed by a parent who, in your view, chose his own pleasure over providing you with the best opportunities. I won’t tell you to forgive him—that’s entirely up to you—but based on what you’ve shared, it seems you’re already doing enough for your dad by fulfilling your basic responsibilities as a child, just as he did his as a father. Anything beyond that is extra and entirely at your discretion. The table has turned—you’re now the man with the bread, and you can do whatever you want.
