Such a mindset..the day this couple is caught and jungle justice is meted you won't say they're 'wise'. The way that seems right (wise) to a man but leads to destruction Proverbs 14:12...I pray you understand fast before it's too late for you!

Obainoman6:
You were not wise and that wise couple have run you street, its a normal thing where i live mugu must always fall for guyman to chop.
Right now that wise couple will be enjoying the stuffs they bought from your shop while toasting with a cool bottle of wine and celebrating. Take your L peacefully.

Where is the evidence of people with 10,000 lines? Can't you start with those first, if they actually exist and it's not an exaggerated statement to prove a point?

Why can't this be done online?

I tried going to a Glo office the other time and the crowd was mammoth! The people there were even doing deals as usual.. why does everything in this country proposed by government for the public have to be stressful, frustrating, and void of a simple process? Why?

BusinessRe: Folorunsho Alakija And Her Husband, Modupe Separate After 30 Years Of Marriage by dewiseacre(m): 8:48am On Mar 11, 2024
If you're assuming Folorunsho Alakija is richer than her husband.. then you don't really know them beyond what you read in the media

jeromestarks:
I can NEVER marry a woman who is wealthier than me.
And I will never allow my wife to be richer than me. Never!

Women misuse power. They tend to insult men at the slightest opportunity they get.

Your marriage can not last if your wife has as much money as you.

South Africa has been having power issues for years now and I think they made the video to spite themselves.. I don't see how it targeted Nigerians or the Super Eagles except that someone just went to add Osihmen's picture at the bottom. The video was made by South Africans for South Africa!
PoliticsRe: Opeyemi Falegan: UK Air Force Officer Offers To Train Amotekun Operatives by dewiseacre(m): 11:30pm On Feb 03, 2024
People here are already squabbling over nothing.

This spate of insecurity will abate massively if we don't continue to enrich our politicians while they impoverish the masses.

You have made people hungry and angry because you, your family and political cohorts have cornered their commonwealth. You have successfully pushed them into all manner of atrocities, turning them into kidnappers and terrorists along the way. Instead of you to now own up, admit your ineptness and failures these past years, you still continue to sit on their wealth, enrich your own pockets in the name of "leadership" and blame security operatives for not doing their work; for not taming the monster you created!

Instead of spending money on guns for security operatives, build more factories and create jobs for the masses. Instead of your fat salary, allowances and bribes, invest the money in your community through quality education, entrepreneurship programs and developmental sports for young people. Instead of your bulletproof fleet of cars, create a mass transit scheme for the people so you can ride with them to work and back everyday. Instead of turning yourself into a god when you get into political office, become the servant of all, for the good of all.

Our number one enemy in this country is leadership!!!

BusinessNigerian Organizations/government Agencies Without Functional Phones, Emails by dewiseacre(op): 1:07pm On Jan 17, 2024
So there are several organizations, especially government agencies in this country that make themselves inaccessible yet they float websites but with numbers that NEVER go through or emails that are responded to never, or years after.

I've been trying to reach the Nigeria law school to find out their process of verifying certificates of students who graduated from the institution (we have a new staff whose certificate we want to verify). Numbers are not going through and emails are not responded to! Do they expect people to "travel" to their offices in Abuja or Lagos just to get basic information?

Which way Nigeriahuh

TravelRe: UK Man Confronts Nigerian Neighbour After He Stopped Him From Using His Wifi by dewiseacre(m): 8:21pm On Jan 07, 2024
First off, I don't know if the blogger that posted this video is just trying to play a race card here.. there's no confirmation that the owner of the Wi-Fi is Nigerian!

Secondly, if you've lived abroad, or in the UK specifically, you'll understand that this old man would have done the same to another white man; so, he didn't do this because the owner of the Wi-Fi is black or Nigerian. The old people that are not in care homes with other seniors or pensioners behave this way many times that it just appears they're not reasoning logically...all just signs of old age! And everyone gets old, white or black!!

RomanceRe: My Wife Watches Cartoons More Than My Kids At 37 Help! - Man Laments by dewiseacre(m):
Do you know that those cartoons engage your brain more than most Nollywood movies? From the cast, to the plots and story lines, to the technology and visual effects..and the songs..and all the resources expended on making those animated movies.

You'll be amazed how many things I learnt in this life from watching cartoons that weren't even mentioned once within the four walls of my academic institution(s)

Should I shock you? The animated movie industry in the US is bigger than the whole of Nollywood..

People with animated minds are the most creative people on the planet..you should be happy your wife belongs to this elite group!
CareerRe: Why Are Motorcyclists Called Okada Riders? by dewiseacre(m): 3:21pm On Nov 26, 2023
I can't believe all the manner of assumptions here. I'm just having a laugh.

The popular motorbike brand in the early 90s then in Lagos was Okada from Japan.
https://www.okada-corp.com/en/index.php
Vespa was just fading out at the time


I am 100% certain of this because our house had a mechanic village - it was a motorcycle village. And each day, some bikes ended up parked in our compounds overnight and as a little child who was fascinated by these machines, I'd sneak up in the evenings to go sit on the ones parked in our compound. Though I was in my latter days in primary school, I could string basic words together and one of them was the "Okada" boldly engraved on those motorcycles.

Take this to the bank!!
PoliticsRe: Three-Month Rehabilitation Of Third Mainland Bridge To Begin Nov 1 — Umahi by dewiseacre(m): 5:26pm On Oct 29, 2023
You can't survive a week in Lagos without waking up to one blocked road or the other. Annoyingly, they won't ease other routes for free flow of traffic..they use the traffic that build around these sites to let the whole world know they're working! No care whatsoever for the road users! Lagosians get ready! This is their modus operandi...no order, no plan, no understanding of peak periods, no proper diversions, no critical thinking..they'll just block every where. And LASTMA officials and police will soon be praying they're deployed to that site for their daily 'egunje'

I've endured this for over 2 years at Yaba now.. and despite completing a major part, a path that can be opened for free flow of traffic is still blocked INTENTIONALLY in the day by LASTMA and night by miscreants collecting 'egunje' from any motorist that doesn't want to "sit in traffic"

Christianity EtcRe: Nigeria Is 2nd Most Prayerful Country On Earth by dewiseacre(m): 10:56pm On Oct 15, 2023
Nigeria, as far as I'm concerned, is the most religious country on earth! And if you look at that list, all those other countries too are extremely religious.

Religion is an 'outward' show of having a connection with God, and is different from spirituality. And that's what you see everywhere in this country - evil people who practice religion. We keep mistaking that for spirituality. These people worship me with their lips (religion) but their hearts (spirituality) are far from me! Matthew 15:8

Guess who opposed Jesus the most while on earth? The Pharisees! They were the religious people of the time.. the only one of them who wanted to have anything to do with him had to come in the night - Nicodemus! One would have imagined that they would form a large percentage of his disciples but there was not even one on the list.

So if you have this simple understanding, you will see why Nigeria and those countries listed there are a sharp contrast of what you would typically expect from a "praying" (or spiritual) nation
TravelRe: Another Truck Has Rammed Into The Ojuelegba Barrier. by dewiseacre(m): 8:30pm On Oct 08, 2023
I will suggest they put warning signs (both pictorial and digital) in strategic places (3km, 2km ahead) as well as diversion options for trucks before they get to that actual point.
SportsRe: Osimhen: A Motivational Journey Of Perfection, Skillfulness, And Consistency by dewiseacre(m): 4:48pm On Jul 12, 2023
Please forgive your parents and move on. They've done their part, it's time to do yours. So will you continue to blame them for the past rather than look at your own potential for the future? When you're focused on what should have been, you're delaying on what you could start to become.

And my little advice, don't look at someone else's clock to tell the time. Osimhen is telling his story, you can also write yours!!

Cheers bro.
