Can you even sell your land to stranger ? Let’s start from there. My brother couldn’t get a piece of land in Nnewi because he’s not indigene of that community.


It’s not crystal clear you guys hijacked the NDC party?

SmartPolician:
If you don't know about the emboldened, then you clearly don't use them.

You just see job notifications and get excited

Love800:
Okay. Thank you.

But what is this audition in this context?
Can you explain what you mean by this audition?

Good day ladies and gentlemen of the great NL house!
Before I go into the main gist. I want to first apologize to those who thinks I write stories too much and they're sometimes long and boring to them.
Let me introduce myself first. I'm a single father of 3 who lost his Benin wife to their Japa syndrome since 2010 and never seen or heard from till today.
By God's grace, after 20yrs of driving commercially to survive and train the kids, I formally retired last year. Not bcus the job wasn't lucrative, but bcus I was warned to stop after having some series of severe back pain, neck pain and leg pain.
Thankfully, before retiring I managed to win over a hired purchased bus that's fending for my 3 kids who are staying with my aunt who at 60+ doesn't have a husband nor a child.
Not wanting to stay idle, I currently work as a security personnel at a Guest House from 7pm to 11pm, while taking care of the owners house which is just beside it during the day. The owner is in US. So I practically stay in the big house all alone. Honestly there's no much work for me to do there other than weeding and cleaning the compound once every week. The rest of the day is just for eating, browsing and sleeping. Not wanting to be lonely and depressed is why I am almost online everyday, writing stories and gossips about my surroundings.
Like I always said, 90 to 95% of my stories are real life stories with the other percents like adding maggi, salt and spices to make it sweet or interesting.
I love writing, reading, driving, music, movies, sports especially football and watching documentary on history and biographies.
.
Now to the main gist. I lived and work in an area fully surrounded by hostels occupied by students and youths working in Chinese companies in Ogun state.
Electricity in the area is epileptic and comes once every week. Luckily for me, due to the guest house, I have 24/7 light from either solar or generator which makes water abundance for me.
But the students and workers are not that lucky. So majority of them always looks for where to charge their phone and also gets water.
When lights come, they normally pump water in their hostels, but it doesn't last more than two days.
Like two to three compounds normally used generator to pump water where they always go to. Sometimes the owners of those places allows them, sometimes they rejecting them.
Another only source of water in the street is a well at the extreme end of the street, it's stressful for some of them.
.
I started working where I am now January this year, but I always stay on my own and just observing the students and workers.
For me to make friends with some of them, I started getting water for some of them that usually greets me. If I see they have walked and walked looking for water and didn't see, I will just tell the person to drop his bucket and then go inside and get water from them.
But anytime I do this, they always thank me with sir sir.
One among them, who was learning hairdresser and selling men clothes online, approached me one day and begged for her to use my compound to make videos of her clothes.
I obliged her and ever since then which was February, we have been friends.
.
With time I began to like her, but her constant good morning sir, good evening sir just like the other girls used to greet me always discouraged me from telling her my mind about her.
After Easter my phone got spoilt and for close to 3 weeks I didn't have chance to go to Lagos and repair it.
And it was the time my feelings for her became strong.
I didn't know how to approach her, so I used the opportunity of her giving me her phone to charge for her to write down my feelings for her on a sheet of paper and attached it at the back of her phone.
.
When it was time to collect it, I told her there's a note I attached in her phone that she should read it. She collected it, thank me and bade me goodnight sir while bowing down a little as a Yoruba girl she's.
Hoping to get answer the next day, even though I was apprehensive on how she will take or react about it.
My people, this is 3 weeks now since I wrote that letter and she hasn't said anything or confronted me on why I wrote such notes.
But we have been greeting and talking to each other since the next day after the note till date, and both of us pretending such never happened.
I said to myself once I repair my phone, I will send her a msg asking what she thought about my note and why hasn't she replied.
I got my done last week, and I still don't have the courage to ask her both in person or thru msg.
.
But there's a reason why I haven't.
In between those times my phone was still spoilt and the note sent to her. There was an electrician who came to do some repairs in my compound sent by my boss.
It was same time she too came to do videos of her clothes in my compound. The electrician told me he like her that I should run her for him. I told him I can't that he should go himself.
So he used the guise of wanting to buy her clothes and approached her.
I sha know they exchanged numbers.
This was 2 weeks ago, so last week when the electrician came to finish his work, he ask me of her. I told him I thought you collected his number the other day. He said he did, and that he has bought clothes of 30k from her.
But that when he tries to pushed further about dating her, she told him she has a guy.
.
Hmmmm.... I heave to myself and asked him his next line of action. He said he'll pushed further. I just mutter the words ok o.
So since that last week, hearing she has a serious guy, (even though she hasn't brought any guy home or any man came looking for her unlike some of the other girls)
It just makes my resolve of asking her what she thinks about my note weak.
But we do see and talk everyday, but her constant "es'e sir, ekaro sir" always puts me off. I don't know if she's deliberately doing that so I will know she respects me as an elderly person. By the way she's 28 while I'm in my early 40s.
.
To the other girls, I am getting closer to some of them. But they too wants to kill me with sir sir sir, and thereby knocking me off of asking any of them out. All these is bcus one of my child a girl who's 17 came to visit me one day.
But the truth is I am seriously lonely, bored and depressed at times. If not for NAIRALAND and Sportsnews and YouTube, only God knows what I would have done to myself. I really need one of them as an acquaintance and if it can lead to a serious relationship, I am ready for it.
Just that I don't know how to go about it with the over respect they're according me.
.
So I am asking for womanology experts who knows how to go about this to give me some tips. The pictures attached to this post are mine, am I too old in the true sense of it or what. Cus physically I look young and agile to most of the guys I see some of them hang around with and I am not mincing words here. I will welcome any thoughts from you all, both insults and good advice.
After all I made the post to get engagement and discussion to kill off boredom.
Thanks and good day to you all once again.

Hello sir.

How do i get to work inside a radio station?
I want to work in media. Naturally am good in presenting and love it so much. I can take any other role too in the radio.

I just want to get a job inside a radio house, but I don't know how.

QuinModah:
Being 40 with no job, no marriage, and no child can feel like a lot to handle, but honestly, it's a chance for a fresh start! Let's break it down into manageable steps.

Career First
Getting a job or starting a new career path is a great place to begin. Since you're 40, your experience and skills are super valuable. Consider.
- Upskilling: Update your skills and knowledge to boost your job prospects.
- Networking: Leverage social media like LinkedIn and build professional connections.
- Starting Fresh: You can start as a "fresher" in a new field or try a side hustle to test the waters.

Personal Life
As for marriage and having a child, these are personal choices that shouldn't define your worth. If you're open to it, you could focus on building meaningful relationships and maybe even starting a family if that's what you want. But if not, that's perfectly okay too. Your happiness and fulfillment are what matter most.

Next Steps
So, what's next? Take a deep breath and start small. Reflect on your goals, update your resume, and start networking. You got this! Remember, your 40s can be a powerful time for reinvention and growth .

How does that sound?

Give me the names of Nigerians that have won International Math Olympiad. Do you know what IMO is? Nigeria has never emerged first in IMO. I stopped reading when I saw that. It only means that the remainder of your article is a hogwash.

The assertion that Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu advised Sani Abacha to hang Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola is a contentious claim that is not supported by universally accepted historical evidence. However, if this narrative is explored, it is essential to examine the broader historical context and the potential motivations or misinterpretations surrounding the individuals involved. Here's an outline of the context:

1. MKO Abiola and His Presidential Mandate (1993)

MKO Abiola, a businessman and politician, won Nigeria's presidential election on June 12, 1993, in what is widely regarded as the fairest election in Nigeria's history.

The military regime of Ibrahim Babangida annulled the election, sparking widespread protests and unrest.

Abiola subsequently declared himself president in 1994, leading to his arrest by the Abacha regime and imprisonment on charges of treason.


2. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu's Role

Ojukwu was a prominent Nigerian leader, remembered for leading the Biafran secession during the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). By the 1990s, he had re-entered Nigerian politics and was associated with the ruling elite in some capacities.

Allegations that Ojukwu advised Abacha to execute Abiola are rooted in rumors rather than concrete historical documentation. It is speculated that any such suggestion may have arisen from political rivalry or Ojukwu’s attempts to maintain favor with the military regime.


3. Potential “Sins” of Abiola

Political Assertiveness: Declaring himself president after the annulled election put him at odds with the military regime and was considered treasonous.

Perceived Threat to Military Power: Abiola's push for democracy threatened the entrenched military rule.

Ethnic Tensions: His Yoruba identity and advocacy for democracy may have been perceived as destabilizing in a country with deep ethnic divides.


4. Historical Credibility of the Claim

The claim lacks substantial evidence and could stem from political propaganda or attempts to smear Ojukwu’s reputation.

Most accounts of Abiola’s imprisonment and eventual death focus on Abacha's decisions and the military's dynamics, not external advice.


Conclusion

There is no concrete proof that Ojukwu explicitly advised Abacha to hang Abiola. The "sins" attributed to Abiola were his pro-democracy stance, resistance to military rule, and symbolic representation of a more equitable Nigeria. Interpretations of Ojukwu's role, if any, may vary based on political narratives and historical biases.

Don't listen to this loser. He has always been a loser, advising people out of his stupid experience in his own marriage.

Bro, I sent my wife about 3 years ago to Australia. My salary then was a little above 1 million naira net monthly.

She came to Aussie as a student. After 2 years she invited me and our children.

I am now in Australia. The best decision I ever made in my entire life is to leave Nigeria.

If your family mistakenly come ta Australia, bro, they will forever remain grateful to you as my family is to me.

You are still young I suppose, I came into Australia at 48.

Bro, again, if you mistakenly enter Australia, you're made.

Your wife is even a nurse. The much needed nurses.
