Didijiji:
Best Nigerian President since the return of democracy

To the supporters of the hardship party of demons called APC, stop looking stupid by supporting APC because you can’t support APC without looking stupid

For me it is Yaradua, unfortunately he didn't live long enough to achieve his vision.

Watch, na Tinubu name go dominate this thread. They have shifted from Buhari to Tinubu.

Dem go give historical background of how Tinubu was remotely involved in the murder.

Stark illiteracy and foolishness.

Don't you find it ironical that you are the one that brought politics into a crime topic? And became the fool that brought Tinubu's name into the discourse.

Das1mama:
This your comment SHOCK me o!! Not all those that get's INFECTED are through SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. ur MIXED BRAIN WITH HYPO would've SIGNALED you but MOST of you are IGNORAMUS!! sorry o PLS COMMENT LIKE A HUMAN BEING.

What are the statistics of HIV infection routes?

Yes. There is vertical transmission from mother to child either during vaginal delivery or through breastfeeding but in recent years that value has significantly reduced due to proper antenatal care.

Then there is blood transfusion, drug abuse and needle sharing including tattoo needles. But none of these routes are as significant as sexual transmission.

When you know the statistics, you might realize that sex (anal sex > vaginal sex > MouthAction) is the singly most important route of infection.

MITCHELL96:
Damn bro!

Why do you people make mistakes like this?

They're so many challenges in life and now you have added this one to your life now

I hope you find the strength to carry on because it won't be easy at all. The very day you saw the test results that you are positive, your mind has stored it forever, there's no amount of thing you'll do that will make you forget about it. You'll always be worried about it. That's why sometimes, I hate my mind, they're so many things I wish to unlearn, erase and forget but my mind can't erase it so it's stucked in my mind .

(PLEASE DON'T FEEL SOMEHOW, I JUST WANT TO TELL A TRUE STORY THAT HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2021)

I know somebody that likes sleeping with anything wearing skirt, he visits Ashawo house like 4 times every week, he's a young handsome guy, he's 23 years and has a gas filling shop not far from my house, me and some other guys decided to pull a prank on him, or should I say a lesson that will put fear in his body because we wanted him to stop womanizing.

One of us had a sim he picked from the ground sometime ago and was only using it for cheap data plans, we used the sim to text this our guy posing as one of his girlfriend/hooker that he should try and go for test that she found out that she's HIV positive.

The next day we decided to go to his shop, I stopped my guys and told them we shouldn't just go like that, my cylinder was about finishing, so I carried my cylinder in disguise that was what brought me to his shop, though I had intended refilling my cylinder but because of this I had to do it that day.

So on getting there, we all hailed his name and stuffs like that, but he was very moody, we all knew it was that text we sent to him but we all pretended as if we had no clue, we kept teasing him but he was so dull. I jokingly told him "Guy, I no say na money dey worry you, no worry E go come before this year end" he just said "baba, no be money oo" I asked him what's up, he just kept sighing and stuffs like that.

Me and my guys left after he was done filling my gas cylinder. So, after some days, I went back alone since I'm more closer to him than the other guys, this time around his eyes was red and he was still sobing.

In his words he said "Argh! I won die bro, I won die!" I asked him what was the problem, I still thought maybe he was afraid he might have contracted the disease or something, To cut the long story short, he had gone for the test and it turned out he was positive, he said he went to 2 different hospitals.


I feel guilty for him somehow because he wasn't even aware he had HIV and I did it to help him abstain from sex and hookers not knowing he got hit by the disease already. He opened up to me like everything how he regrets his life and if he had known, he wouldn't have been such a d!ck.

I bet you, till today, he hasn't gotten over it, even though I see him laugh and gist when we sit out in the evening, he tells me he goes to bed with regret and cries his eyes out, that he only tried to forget it with laughter and highness but he still comes back to reality mostly when he's alone.

He told me if there's a permanent cure for it, that even if it will be the reason he does blood money so he can afford the fee, he'll do it.


MODIFIED: I see people quoting me as if I don't know people can get HIV through other means other than through sex, like wtf is wrong with all these Nairaland online professors and doctors?

This is one of the reasons I want to deactivate my account and start visiting this site as a guest

Not replying any mention, if you like kill yourself. I said what I said.

If this story is true. You just saved that young man.

He would have continued in his womanizing ways not knowing he was positive until the HIV had become full blown AIDS and nothing could have saved him then. And when someone is positive and continues having illicit unprotected sex and coming in contact with different strains of the virus, they could end up getting the AIDS faster than they would have if they were not promiscuous.

HIV is manageable and with medication still do have a normal life expectancy. Where the problem begins is when the person's CD4+ count gets so low that they start having opportunistic infections before discovering they have the virus

Resurrection212:
Sadly those people don't have voters card abeg you people should shift jagaban is coming. Obi should be going house to house that third position is sure for him nobody is dragging it with him.

And for the reference peter can't win my state imo.

Obi might not win, actually he is not the favorite to win.

But with respect to the bolded, either you are deluded, ignorant, or plainly being malicious.

Igboslayer:
Any vote for OBI validates Tinubu Presidency…. Shebi una no go school, you all know nothing about politics. Ulasi just let the cat out of the bag. Any vote for OBI will deplete Atiku chances of winning. OBI has no chance at all, stop deceiving yourselves.

And you actually believe that Obi wouldn't take votes from Tinubu too? If Obi has no chance then neither does Tinubu who definitely can neither win the SS or SE. He is hoping to win the SW and NE in a landslide and I don't see that happening.

But we will see.

There are 3 kinds of election forecast.
1. Hopeful projection
2. Malicious projection
3. Factual projection

Your projection that Obi doesn't stand a chance is not just fantasy but threads along the lines of malicious projection and so is any projection that doesn't admit that no one knows exactly how February will play out.

I don't understand this narrative that Obi's candidacy makes Tinubu the favorite to win.

The truth is that Obi has functionally turned the election from a 2-horse race into a real 3-horse race and no one can clearly predict how that will affect Atiku and Tinubu; who increased the complexity of any forecast with his Muslim-Muslim ticket.

But I however think that as it stands Atiku is still favorite. But we will see in few months time.

Even if they did, they will never admit to it publicly without attracting backlash for trying to influence the democratic process of another nation.

SensetionalGoal:
Is like you do not understand this policy as it concerns POS ..

How would the pos operators get cash for their daily transaction since the limit is 100k per week ..

ATM withdrawal is 20k per day... Unless the pos guy pays 10% for any additional cash over the counter which means the price of POS transactions will skyrocket , like you have to pay 1k to withdraw 20k

The POS operator can source for cash alternatively instead of from the banks.

There are cash businesses that will still have a decent amount of cash coming in daily

Uzodimma realizes that his pathway to a second tenure are

1. Tinubu wins and helps him rig either during the polls or the Supreme court.

2. Play "I am with Obi" and hope that he can inherit Obi's voters come November.

The first is looking very minutely possible and considering that Ihedioha his strongest contender has gaffed by calling his supposed pledged supporters saboteurs for supporting Obi, option 2 might look more promising.

So I am not surprised he is seeing that too, and playing along.

Nigerian politics with it's ever comic flair.

So the locations of ISWAP and Boko Haram are known and the Nigerian Army cannot carry out a tactical assault on them.

"Do we have a military", I find myself thinking.

Imagine that Nigeria is like Ukraine that Russia invaded, we would have been captured within few weeks.

Lagos was the capital of Nigeria just until 1991.

Lagos has the largest and I might say only functional seaport in Nigeria thus making it to remain the economic capital of Nigeria till date.

All the businesses and international companies are largely domiciled in Lagos.

All these factors drove migration into Lagos and like a positive feedback further increased the economic relevance of Lagos.

I find it laughable when people say, Tinubu built Lagos. Lagos was already set on a path of greatness before Tinubu came and truthfully Lagos has instead of growing, declined with respect to public infrastructure and development. I guess we could rather say "Tinubu killed Lagos"

Mercury12:
Horrible story!
Moses is already in a better place and at peace now. His life was cut short and his burdens,mistakes or any misdeeds he must had done during his lifetime now automatically transferred to the killer as he (moses) got no time to make up for them before he was killed.
That is why God warned people not to commit murder. As for the killer. Her suffering has just began on earth and in the afterlife

The bolded is total falsehood.

If Moses didn't live right, then he has died and will go answer for his sins. The way he died is irrelevant to how he lived.

That is why you must be ready at all times to answer for your life.

dominique:
Highly ridiculous! So they released her because she got injured from the murder she premeditated? This is first degree murder, she should never have been released under any circumstances. Our justice system never ceases to baffle me

Why can't these reporters different between fateful and faithful?

I froze at that line too.

I guess someone can assassinate Buhari and shoot themselves on the leg while at it and the police will not be able to arrest and detain them.

The Nigerian police is largely a joke. One must pray to never need them, for when you do, will you realize how useless they are.

It's obvious that Tinubu is showing some signs of dementia. It is normal with aging and some people show signs at an earlier age than others.

The cognitive decline is evident in his inability to coordinate his train of thoughts hence the serial gaffes that he makes when he speaks in public. It is natural to have a slip of tongue once in a while but when it becomes repetitive as in Tinubu's case something is definitely wrong.

So the smart move was to delegate the answering of questions directed at him, for then would it have not been deniable that the man has dementia.

But Tinubu needs to make those promises to Nigeria, El - Rufai and the others are not running for president.

Funny, but but funny.

How did Nigeria come to this point?

NCC should give INEC waiver to operate their mobile transmission stations especially in areas with no stable internet connectivity.

Wall gecko that was coveted meal for protein in the East during the Biafran war.

When I read that the Defence HQ put a 5 milion naira bounty on his head, I knew the Nigerian Army is finished.

Why didn't she adopt a child, just as she was adopted?

Reflects your values indeed.

That line is very true to the letter.

QuinModah:
Last Friday, I hugged one of my most impressive colleagues goodbye. He turned away, sobbing. I turned away with voice quaking, realizing what a big loss he would be.

Later that evening, I had another get-together with a second friend who relocates this week. While discussing his massive expense, he suddenly slouched in his chair, stressfully squeezed the empty ragolis bottle in his hands and concluded:

"Oremi, this relocation has cost me almost everything"
"You don’t want to know!" He further sighed "You don’t."

Today, with the help and data from three (3) relocating friends, I compile the rough cost (below) for prospective relocating families (focus on UK) and a poem for my friend and Nigeria:

Cost of Japa from Nigeria for a family of 4= 180k
Renewal of Passport
Official rate 22k
Accelerated rate 45k
Some pay as high as 75k

Transcript 75k
Usually, one parent is a student
30-45k for school runs
25-30k to send

Estimated Tuition fee deposit
11,000-18,000-pound sterling
4.5m most schools want 50% deposit

Proof of fund (In deposit)
Family of 4 need 25m in deposited in an accoun 2-3 months

UK Visa 1.4m
Family of 4 pay 475-pound sterling

NHF
Family of 4 pay 875-pound sterling

Flight ticket 2.8m
Depending on booking
700k person x4
Some have booked as high as 1.2m

Arrival Accommodation 4.4m
1st Month shortlet 200-pound sterling per week
refundable deposit of 250 pound
First 6 months at 750 pounds

Total Cost 19m for family of four to UK not Canada or US. It can be cheaper or more

Oremi, I hope we meet again,
as you japa to find fresh grain,
to return if Nigeria again reigns?
God, will any leader ever end this drain?
But prayers will be in vain,
if in 2023, unwisely we vote again.

God bless everyone who has relocated. God bless everyone staying behind. God bless #Nigeria.

You will make for a good writer or are you one already?

TheChameleon:


Probably cancelled it because Yorubas dominated the list.

Unfortunately even if they do it 1 million times... Omoluabi will be 99% of the list.

Awolowo & Sardauna wanted a secession clause in the constitution. Azikiwe the coward saboteur was the slave that opposed him.

Now the desendants of the sabo are 4th Class citizens that are denied independence by the others.

Irony of fate.

How can 1 person veto 2 persons? Does that sound right to you?

TheChameleon:


Northerners obey their leaders blindly... because of some religion doctrines

I guess that is why Aisha is most pained by the post.

If a Southerner had said the same thing, nothing would have happened to him.

This is what we call "dependent edema".

She has an underlying heart condition and sat in one place for several hours.

How some think this is a shoe size issue is just ridiculous.

blackmarya:
If na me, I go give her the condition of treating the girl like her own if she wants to remain married to me else I'm going to divorce her....shikena

.....because no one knows what she could do to that girl if she gets to know u rented an apartment for her outside...if she can stl be doing all of this to her when she is under ur nose who knows what she'll do when nobody is watching

He intends to rent a house for the woman to stay with her twin and while he stays with his 4 kids.

Gudfadah:
Good evening nairaland.

I am a married man and I have six children. When I met with my first wife she was a single mother of 1 girl she was a years 6 months we got married when she was 5 years old.
We had 3 children together making them 4 unfortunately we lost her in 2016 during the birth of our twins.

Before she passed on she asks me to promise her that if anything happened to her I should never send her daughter back to her family to experience the same thing she went through in there hands.
I have promised her that the child is mine and she will never go anywhere the day she will leave my house will be on her wedding day.
I have also promised her that nothing will happen to her and we will grow old together. Unfortunately we lost her and I have continued being a father to all four children and I have never treated my step daughter differently.

I have since remarried and we are blessed with twins. When I met with my current wife I didn't tell her that my step daughter is not my biological child she knew she was my first child.
She has been a part of me ever since she was 1 plus and I didn't think it was necessary telling my wife she was not my child.

She was treating all four children good until my wicked aunty has spill the beans which I have apologised for not telling her in the first and I have asked her to continue being a good mother she was before knowing the truth.
But she refused saying I didn't tell the truth and the child should go and leave with her mom family. I have explained to her the reason why she cannot stay with them to no avail and I ask her not to tell the child the truth but she has told her.

It wasn't easy for her knowing the truth she asks me if I will take her back to her mom people I said no. She is still my child and she will not go anywhere and I will resolve the problem very soon.

Unfortunately my wife has totally changed so much toward the child and I hate coming home seeing her crying all the time. She feel insecure in the house knowing that she is not the biological child of the house.

Talking to my wife was to no avail she has insist that the child must go back to her mother family or they will be not peace.

I reported the problem to her people nothing was done and we are still dealing with the same thing everyday.

Honestly speaking I hate being in such a messy situation but I will not send her back to her mom family she is my first child and I have made a promise to my late wife that the day the child will leave my house it will be the day she will get married.
Since my wife want her to leave and the child is already depresses.
I have come to conclusion I will not divorce her but I will rent a 2 bedroom apartment for her to be staying with the twins while I continue staying with the four children in my house I owe the house.

I haven't told her anything about my decision yet and I want to know if getting her own house will help the situation. This is where I need your advice nairalanders what do I do in this situation?

It is unfortunate that you married a terrible woman.

And your solution is appropriate, since she wouldn't respect your adopted daughter as your own then she might well go live on her own.

How old is your first daughter now? I guess she would be about 15 years right?

You have to address this issue head-on. We don't want to read stories of your teenage daughter drinking sniper because of the attitude of your wife.

Sammy07:
Lol, they should keep deceiving themselves.

Something that allows over voting
And over accreditation
Even voting without that person being there.


Mtcheeew

The concept of overvoting implies that people that were not accredited to vote, ended up voting.

And over accreditation means that the number of accredited voters by the BVAS was more than the number of registered voters. (This I find unbelievable)

That's not a BVAS problem but an INEC corruption problem.

Sammy07:
Bro bvas is an upgraded scam. I'm telling you that from My experience from Osun election.

Ask yourself why underage registration plenty for North .
You think they'll be present to vote? LMAO

Even if you no dey there, someone else can vote on your behalf once they bribe the officials.
(they only need the vin and your name which will of course be posted at your polling unit)
It happened in some polling units I won't mention in osun.

Wait till Feb if you're in doubt

So if I get you correctly, here is what you are saying correct me if I am wrong.

So the INEC official can be bribed to allow someone that was not accredited by the BVAS to vote hence leading to overvoting and proxy voting, is that what you mean?

Maliqcious:
I don’t even understand this APC gimmicks why would person from another party photo shop Tinubu with Joe Biden to what gain? Abi na BAT enthusiast run am unto say e go cast they come they blame people were no send them.

I don't understand that too. And the guy who posted it on Twitter was calling Obi supporters "Obi-diots" and yet they APC defence tries to pin it on opposition.

APC is just incorrigible.

So a Tinubu supporter posted this picture and called Obi supporters "Obi-diots" and asked that their presidential candidate should visit the US but at the end of the day as the fraud is immediately spotted the claim it is Obi supporters that did the photoshop?

Chai! Shamelessness get levels sha.

My favorite line

We will stop borrowing for consumption. All loans must be invested in regenerative projects

We must see the reality of a loan paying off from what it was invested in within 5 years.

Cost of governance is too much. There should be wealth distribution within the public service from the Executive down to the Legislative arms of government.
