Stop using big names to predict. It doesn't usually work that way.

Shock awaits anyone that thinks it's gonna be an easy ride for any of the big names here mentioned.

BTW, England might be going home if they continue to play the way they have always played since this competition started. They have been woefully terrible.

I tip Spain to win the cup.

Extremely useless program. Unfortunately, Nigerians enjoys attaching themselves to rubbish.

Doesn't add any value to your life, don't fall this program. It's useless.

Interesting. We'll see.

France vs Belgium should be the star match of the R/16.
Fifa #2 vs #3 🔥

Spain vs Georgia
Germany vs Denmark
Portugal vs Slovenia
France vs Belgium 50-50

Romania vs Netherlands
Austria vs Turkey
England vs Slovakia
Switzerland vs Italy

You dey use big name dey predict? My brother, e go shock you.

Who would have thought Georgia would beat Portugal? Who would have thought Belgium will draw against Ukraine? Who would have thought France would draw against Poland?

My brother, no use big name predict o. Shock awaits you if you try it. No small team again o.

That girl is obviously not ready or serious for marriage. I will suggest you move forward and get someone else

Gbam. It's a simple stuff.

Women plenty when don ready for marriage o, but na wives na dey few.

I just believe God has a far better Woman for him. He may not see it that way now because for him head e dey feel say e love the babe.

If he chose to eventually marry her, he's going to suffer. Because she will continue to manipulate him and constantly toy with his emotions.

Chidex369:
Greetings my people,

Please I really need your advice on how to go about this matter that is really eating me up. We went on a normal date with my girl whom I have proposed marriage to and she accepted it. But in recent time I have been telling her to come and see my parent but was like we are not yet ready, I don't understand it.

Today we went out and she opened up and started telling me areas of my life which she's not really comfortable with and I should improve on them. When she was done she said she needs us to slow things down for now.

I don't really know how to go about this right now. Please I really need your advice on it. I really love this girl and wants to settle down with her. We broke before and reconcile after two years, and we been back for like 6 months now.

Please no insult or curse. Please I need your advice.

This may be a blessing in disguise. Move on bro.

There are better fishes in the river/ocean.

Breakup with her asap and get yourself together. I bet you will be glad you did after a while.

No carry Woman matter for head o, I know you love her but guy, forget about love, go and make money and add value to your life and get a good woman to marry, a woman that wouldn't stress your life.

This life is short, Men are going through a lot, you don't need a woman that would toy with your emotions. Believe me when I say this, Men are the Trophy. Look inwards and you will understand what I am saying.

Don't marry her o. If not you will regret.

It's either there's another guy that's giving her hope or she's still a kid. Marriage isn't for kids.

You cant fight government

That's the Nigerian factor.

Yes, you can't fight Government in Nigeria.

And the major reason why you can't fight Government is because the Nigerian Government particularly is extremely irresponsible. They have got no conscience.

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has insisted that its version of the new national anthem released last week was the correct one.

The Director-General of NOA, Lanre Issa-Onilu, said this in a statement issued on Tuesday by the agency’s Deputy Director of Press, Paul Odenyi.

Mr Issa-Onilu was responding to an observation made by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on the national anthem during Tuesday’s plenary.

Mr Akpabio, during the plenary, identified errors in lines three, five, and 18 of the national anthem released by the NOA..

“Where you have, ‘Nigerians all, are proud to serve’, they said ‘Nigerians all, and proud to serve’, that is number one, it should be ‘are’.

“And then it said ‘though tribes and tongues may differ’, they said, ‘though tribe and tongue, I hope you understand and at the end where we said ‘Nigeria shall be blessed’, they did not say so. They said ‘Nigeria may be blessed’.

“We are using the word shall, which is compulsion, that this country shall be blessed. So, tell the National Orientation Agency to drop what they are circulating now. Congratulations to all of us” Mr Akpabio said.

PRESS RELEASE

NATIONAL ANTHEM: NOA RELEASED OFFICIAL VERSION
-Senate President Misquoted

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has explained that the official version of the National Anthem it unveiled remains the correct lyrics approved in the act signed by President Bola Tinubu on May 29, 2024.

The Director General of the Agency, Mallam Issa-Onilu, clarified inquiries from the media on the correct lyrics of the new national anthem, saying as an act of the Parliament, the NOA is duty-bound to only promote the official version.

Believing that the Senate President was misquoted, Mallam Issa-Onilu advised the media to always cross-check their facts before publication.

He also advised the media to check the Act signed by the President as approved by the National Assembly to confirm the version as released by the NOA.

In his words," The official version that we issued remains the correct lyrics. We are making an effort to standardise the instrumental and audio versions before we release it to the public."

The NOA had last week released the official version of the National anthem to guide citizens who might be unsure of the correct lyrics of the reintroduced old National Anthem.

The Sad Story of Celine Ndudim, My Personal Experience and Lessons for You - Yes, You...

I have taken time to research about the missing Celine who we now suspect allegedly went for a hook-up party with a wanted London based returnee.

The WhatsApp chat screenshot shows Celine and her friend travelled for transactional s£x and didn't live to tell the story.

Here are Lessons Every Young Person Should Learn:

1. Any man willing to engage in transactional s*x with you is not mentally stable.... Clinically, any man who can pay you for s£x is suffering from CSB - Compulsive S£xual Behaviour. Other mental health issues associated with CSB are d£pression, low self esteem etc. The moment a man is willing to pay you for S£X, RUN for your life. You are dealing with a mentally si¢k fellow.
And the same applies to girls who ask for money in exchange for s£x. Personally, I get such offers daily. I have lost count of girls who come to me boldly asking to hook up with me. I'm making this public so they stop it. They are no longer ashamed these days. These are not unemployed girls. These are classy female business owners who flaunt designer bags on social media. The ones in South Africa requested for R2000 ($106) for one night while the ones in Nigeria requested for half a million Naira to 1 million Naira ($330 to $630) for a night. I found those requests quite insulting but at the same time, very concerning. Concerning because today's transactional s£x economy is no longer driven by p0verty but by greed and pressure to show off on social media. They use online business to cover up their real trade . Celine Ndudim was a fashion designer, what else was she looking for that she couldn't patiently grow into with time and hardwork?
If you have a friend or sister who is addicted to showing off on social media, advise them before you mourn them.
If you are a girl who has developed an entitlement Mentality to a man's money whenever you share his bed, remind yourself that you are a queen. Find your Crown. Have some dignity. Even if you are dying of hunger, don't ask a man for money immediately after s£x. It's dishonorable.
If you are a man and your girlfriend always asks for money after s£x, don't give her. Don't encourage transactional s£x in relationships. Give only when there's NEED, not when there's Demand. AND don't also use money to lure girls to bed. Have some dignity. You are a King. Kings don't pay for s£x.

2. All the friends of Celine Ndudim who used to celebrate her on social media have all gone quiet and distanced themselves from her...

I went through Celine's friend's list. I checked out some of her friends who used to publicly post about her. They have all distanced themselves from her. If you mention Celine on their post, they will block you. They don't want to be associated with the hook up scandal but they were all once colleagues in her days of glamour - giving each other pressures and possibly clients.
If you are reading this and you still allow peer pressure to define your values, you should have a rethink. Personally, I disconnected from some 'new' friends few years ago. They almost put me under unnecessary pressure just weeks after meeting them. I almost lost myself while trying to measure up to their fake standards. They drove only Rolls Royce and Bentleys. They flew only private jets. It was later I discovered that they were not only doing the legit business they posted in public, some of them were involved in get rich quick schemes. While me, I earn salary from my businesses. I had to advise myself. Two of those friends would later die mysteriously. Their businesses shut down and cars auctioned off. But we are still building slowly - one day at a time.
Grow slowly. Grow consistently. Beware of the "I WAN HAMMER" MENTALITY. PLEASE DON'T HAMMER 🔨 BECAUSE OF KARMA.

LASTLY...
3. Beware of social media feminists who encourage TRANSACTIONAL S£X and relationships. Report their account. Stay away from them. They don't even do what they are advising you to do - they are psychologically tapping into your dark desires to control your actions, turn themselves into goddesses in your mind and establish their brand as powerful and influential on young women. So it's about power for them and you are just the pawn in their game of power. Be intentional.

My name is Charles Awuzie and I want you to remain sane in this insane generation. Be intentional 💫.

There are fifteen (15) stupid things a Wife can do to
mess up her marriage, I want you to check them
carefully and avoid them.

1) DARING HER HUSBAND TO BEAT HER: You
block the door way, and then dare him to beat you
and see what will happen. Lots of women have
done this in the past and they end up regretting it.
It is unwise to do this.

2) DARING HER HUSBAND TO SLEEP WITH
ANOTHER WOMAN: You will be making a major
mistake if you dare your husband to sleep with
another woman. You may live to regret it.

3) NEGLECTING TO DRESS RIGHTLY BECAUSE SHE
IS MARRIED: “I am married, who is looking at me”
That was the defense of Mrs Layi when she was
confronted for the reason why she dressed so
shabbily. It is the mistake of most careless married
women and it’s a major mistake you can make.

4) DENYING HER HUSBAND SEX REGULARLY: You
are a career woman; you feel sex in marriage is
secondary, you deny your husband your body
regularly, so he is sexually starved and intimacy
famished. His secretary, colleagues, and girls in
church are begging him to come but you padlock
your skirt. I can see danger signal.

5) LEAVING HER HUSBAND FOR HER FRIEND TO
CATER FOR: “My friend please be my eye as I
travelled for this one week, help cater for my
husband and my little kids” That was Mrs Rosa
when she made the journey she will later regret all
her life. By the time she came back her friend had
really helped her by sleeping with her husband. She
later eloped with the man, leaving her own husband and two children.
It is very stupid to commit your husband into the
hands of your beautiful and very active but Godless
friend.

6) LEAVING HER HUSBAND IN THE HAND OF HER
HOUSE MAID: Your maid is the one that cooks,
cleans the house, and cares for the children and
your husband. You suddenly become a lazy bone
since the arrival of the maid, all you do is to shout
and back orders, nobody will snatch your husband
you are the one graciously giving him to those that
need him.

7) EMPLOYING FULLY GROWN, RED BLOODED
LADY AS A MAID: She is fully grown, well-endowed
in the back and very tantalizing in the front, dresses
like an actress, cat walks like a model and that is
your own house maid? What a mistake!

EMPLOYING HOUSE GIRL THAT IS MORE
BEAUTIFUL THAN HER: Employing a house girl
more beautiful than them is a major technical
mistake most women make. In the process many
of them used their money to employ a rival for
themselves. Don’t be foolish when getting a maid.

9) USING ANALOG BRAIN TO LIVE WITH A DIGITAL
HUSBAND: Your husband is growing; you are sitting
down at home eating. He is dressing like a guy with
jeans and face cap; you are celebrating the fact that
you are a married woman. Your husband is on
twitter, facebook, Whatsapp, skype etc; the only
thing you know about phone is to receive and make
call. Your husband is talking about stock market;
you only talk about tomato market. He is talking
about Forex; you are talking about fruit and
vegetables.

10) FAILING TO COMMIT HER FAMILY INTO THE
HANDS OF GOD: A wife won’t do well if she fails to
commit her family into the hands of God regularly.
Don’t make this mistake, be prayerful, hand over
your family to God. May you never labor in vain!

11) FIGHTING HER MOTHER-IN-LAW: You may fight
your Mother-in-law dirty and think you can win, you
will end up losing. Her son and herself have been
friends and lovers for years; may be before you
were born. She was the first ‘wife’ of your husband
and also the first ‘girlfriend’. Her son cannot divorce
her and she is more experienced than you in
matrimonial battles, in fact she is a veteran of many
conflicts.

12) TELLING HER FRIENDS ABOUT HER SEX LIFE:
when you tell your friend about your sex life she can size you up and know whether your husband is hot or not, whether he is sexually fulfilled or not. She can even know your husband “turn on” and use it against him and grab your husband. Most women
have carelessly lost their husband as they complain
to their friends “my husband is too demanding, he
does not know anything but sex, I’m not a horse, I
can’t kill myself” A friend will pick information like
this and cover things up where you’ve been failing.

13) REPORTING HER HUSBAND TO HIS MUM: It
looks beautiful to report your husband to his Mum,
but the end result will end up hurting you.
Most mothers will support their sons any day;
children are always right before their Mothers. Seek
counsel in the right quarters, never report your
husband to his Mum.

14) LETTING CHILDREN TAKE THE PLACE OF
THEIR HUSBANDS: Many wives do abandon their
husbands, denying them of love, care and attention
as soon as babies begin to arrive. To sleep in bed,
they put the Baby between themselves and their
husband, making the man to feel lost in his own
house.

15) USING SEX WRONGLY: sex is supposed to
bind you together, it supposed to create intimacy
and love but in many homes it is the bone of
contention.
Some women do turn sex to a tool of manipulation;
some use it for trade by barter. Some wives will
suddenly become commanders at home when their
husbands touch them for sex, ordering the man
around, “go and off the Fan” “go and lock the gate”
“go and check whether our children are sleeping”
this is very bad.
Some wives sleep like log of wood in bed while
some even wear jean knickers to bed.
If you continue like this you will hurt your marriage
deeply and you may destroy your future also.May God not let us use our hand to destroy our own marriage...

Eriokanmi:
You just watch your income vanish even before collecting it. We're actually richer than most of them but na greed dey worry us for naija.

We build our own house with our money, no mortgage. We buy our own cars with our money, no need to worry or thinking about APR all the time, still buy air tickets and travel to where they love but they dare not travel as frequently as we do cos they've got bills to pay. Now tell me, who's richer?

And you think you are actually rich?

Smh.

Mystery9:
Did you seek my advice before sleeping with her

Good question.

No mind the ashawo Man. And he is even Married.

AmuDimpka:
after all these...I still have someone that is in Australia for over 10 yrs ...the person seff is finding it hard to secure air ticket to come home with his family


How una dey take look some of us ...una think say we are daft ?

Three things are involved,

1, Either the person is lying to you or he doesn't want you to keep begging him for money.

2, Except the person is extremely lazy.

3, And any other reason.


Truth is, naija isn't worth it. Travel first, you will obviously see the difference.

VAPatrick:



Just a quick clarification. There are no menial jobs in developed countries. Every job you do is valued and oyibo will never look down on you based on the job you do. For this reason, a manager in Naija will not have any problem taking up a cleaner job. Besides, there is no huge disparity in pay like we have in Nigeria. Unlike Naija companies where managers earn hundreds of thousands and cleaners 15K, here if I work as a cleaner and earn $2k monthly, a manager in my company can’t earn more than 4K. He will pay more tax than me and will not enjoy some benefits I get as a low income earner. If you’ve been to a developed country then you’ll understand how shitty Nigeria is.

Spot on.

I can attest to this.

NPFLADMIN:
Honestly, my dad knows a person in this situation.

He earns 1M as salary monthly and also has a side hustle which should be bringing him nothing less than 200k estimate. But the man still wants to leave 4 UK. And getting a job in the UK at the age of around 45+, isn't that almost impossible?


His wife is already there and she's doing care-job.

I still don't understand why he wants to move.

If I ever meet him with my dad before he leaves, I'll tell him "sir, you're making a big mistake!"

Well, he's still agile. I guess that's an advantage.

That money the Man is earning monthly in Nigeria is nothing.

My brother, relocating is far better and more profitable. There are lots of opportunities here. Jobs everywhere. If you are not lazy, you will make good money in UK.

Mrperfecto:
I will just be brief without writing too much.

We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.

She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.

I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.

My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.

Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?

My neighbor here did the same, they sent two of their kids back to naija, now they have peace of mind here.

Your peace is none negotiable. After the normal daily hustling here, you don't need anything that would disturb your mind when you get home or even when you are at work.

vickthourh:
Charge wetin..

It's not compulsory

Do you think the white Man that manufactured the phone and advised that you charge it to 100% before usage is a fool? Smh.

The problem with Africans is that we don't learn, we don't listen and we feel we know too much. But truth be told, we know nothing.

I have come to understand that whatever these White people do, they have a valid reason for it. There are some things you may think doesn't make sense, find out well, you will notice there is a reason for it.

Dpharisee:
The reason is that the sensors are sometimes programmed to read 100 percent as FULL capacity, but if you start using it at 70% it may send a message to the system that 70% is the optimum, so anytime the battery gets to 70% it will indicate FULL and you won't be getting complete value for money.
That's why the manufacturer will always indicate charge before use.
Its also called calibration

All these kids on Nairaland, I am engineer with several years experience, this is the most basic thing you should know, for you that knows so much about Tech.

Your contribution is enlightening, informative and educative.

It's better to talk when you have something valid to say, but unfortunately, on this platform you tend to see so many people talk about what they know nothing about, thereby misleading others.

Thanks for your insightful contribution.

The only thing Arsenal will lift this season is their hands! 😃

What country will you like to relocate to, within the next 5 years?

tyinfinity:
Marry first .build a house and travel with your family if you desperately desire to leave Nigeria

Na so e dey easy? Lol.

It would be easier for him to achieve those things you just mentioned if he decides to japa.

The Naira is just rubbish, doesn't have much value.

IamDora:
Useless men, all they know how to do is complain complain and complain all the time

Watch how his fellow useless men will avoid this thread or create excuses for him, but when the table turns, they start insulting and talking down on the lady without knowing her side of the story,

If it was to be the lady saying this, the only comment you'll see from these useless men littered all over this forum will be:

“Olosho woman wan leave her marriage”
“She's for the street”
”This one don go marry Hookup girl”
“You can take a girl out of the street but you can never take the street out of her” etc etc

The way NL men reason sometimes leaves me in awe, sometimes I wonder if most of them even experienced a mother's love. They insult us 2.4.7 yet slide-in to our Dms with alternates.

Alpha Nonsense online, mighty simps offline

Hahahahaha.

Take it easy Madam.

You are taking it personal. No dey vex.

santaclaws:


You earn 400k and give 100k to a woman, which is 25% of your income. You have bills, family and personal expenses but you chose to be so 'generous' to a lazy woman who doesn't know the value of money...

Well, my advice for you is to increase the amount you give her to 200k. Good luck! 🙂

Imagine. Giving a girlfriend 100k. Not even a wife.

That doesn't make sense to me. Honestly.

Damn.

Naijagram:
Seeking your thoughts, everyone!!!

I work as a salaried individual and earn around 400k monthly.

However, my girlfriend constantly asks for money. I give her almost 100k every month and she feels it's not enough for her. She's even voiced discontent, suggesting I only send her money when she explicitly requests it.

I'm beginning to suspect her motives, as she seems solely focused on my income.

She never suggests saving or helps in cutting costs; her primary interest lies in spending everything.
Despite my genuine love for her, I can't keep up with her demands. I had hopes for our future together, but it seems unlikely now.

I'm considering a breakup as a solution.

Has anyone navigated a similar situation?

I am afraid you don't have a girlfriend, you only have a liability that would soon drain you.

Be wise as you step into the new year.

Stop being careless with your funds.

Breakup with her asap. Be wise bro.

Nicols:
Japa

May it come to fruition speedily.

You have a lot to gain if your japa plans comes to pass.

Jeon:
Quiting my job, getting married and becoming a full time African traditional submissive housewife with no say!!!!.

Happy!!?. 😕

Hahahahhaa. Hilarious.

Getting married isn't a bad idea, but you don't actually have to quit your job.

All the best for the year ahead.

Merry Christmas!!!

Persephone1:
Food is cheap in UK and even USA... Try buying anything outside food then you will know Nigeria isn't TOTALLY bad.

What do you mean by 'try buy anything outside food" lol.

Even clean cars here, it's far far cheaper than naija. I saw the prices of naija used cars recently, honestly I was shocked..... Everything now na million million million for naija. E no easy.

Truth is, you can't compare UK and Naija. Naija is far far far FAR behind in the scheme of things. The money you make here in a day would be enough to feed you and your family for a whole month.

The difference is absolutely clear.

If you actually desire a better quality of life, then you have to japa. That's the truth.

Even the environment in naija is polluted. Every kind of pollution you can think of.
