Yankee101:Still same thing just changes form. |
DMCA:Ah tell you. Tinder, Bumble, Badoo all same. The worst mistake you can make is to assume because they wrote looking for relationship that they really want that. Or directly asking them what they are in the app for (90% will whine you). You will end up dating her or planning for something serious while another men will carry her for daybreak. |
Smartguyboy:No mind them. They will be pretending they are there for friendship or relationship bur will want to collect money for sex. |
Tenrack: it just takes practice. |
NiRfreak:Wahala for the hyperreligious. We are too superstitious in Nigeria. |

Kobojunkie:Weldone countering me, dear. |
Swipe left. Swipe right. Repeat. For every one genuine-looking profile on Tinder, you’ll find fifteen more selling something — a fantasy, a body, or a lifestyle. Let’s be honest: what used to be a dating app has quietly evolved into a digital marketplace. A guy once said, laughing, “Bro, na hookup site be dating site now.” And he’s right. Because these days, “Let’s hang out” usually translates to “Pay to play.” Conversations that used to start with “What’s your favorite movie?” now begin with “What can you offer?” The romance has been replaced by negotiation. The affection, by transaction. And the connection? Well, that’s usually temporary — gone as soon as the bank alert hits. Hookup culture has flooded the streets — and the screens — so badly that genuine dating feels like a lost art. Everyone’s performing; few are connecting. You’ll see bios that say “No hookups” but read like price lists in disguise. It’s a strange new world where beauty is currency, and emotions are collateral. People are no longer dating — they’re bartering. And yet, no one seems surprised. Maybe it’s because we all secretly know that the line between “dating” and “deal-making” has long disappeared. What we’re left with is a culture where affection has a price tag and love has become a luxury item few can afford. So the next time someone says, “There are no real dating sites anymore…” Don’t argue. Just smile and ask, “Who did this to us?”

It's time we start telling ourselves the truth. If you are toxic and you know you have an unforgiving spirit, just rest. No need to bother marrying. How can someone meant to be the love of your life be the cause of your death. |
Marriage isn’t a battlefield. It’s not a place to test how much pain, anger, or revenge a human heart can endure. Yet, every other week, we wake up to horrifying news — a wife who poisoned her husband, a husband who beat his wife to death, or couples who set each other ablaze in moments of rage. Recently there is a news of a woman who is alleged to have set her husband ablaze after an argument. Whether this is later confirmed to be true or not, a life has been lost. No matter the offence, no one deserves to die in the name of marriage. If a partner becomes unbearable, walk away. Separation — though painful — is always better than a prison sentence or a graveyard visit. We must start telling ourselves the truth: 👉 If you can’t tolerate his attitude, don’t marry him. 👉 If you can’t respect her when she’s angry, don’t marry her. 👉 If you can’t handle the storms of communication, ego, or financial strain, stay single until you can. Marriage doesn’t fix temperaments — it exposes them. Love alone isn’t enough; patience, emotional maturity, forgiveness, and self-control are the silent pillars that keep a home standing when love starts to wobble. Too many people are getting married for the wrong reasons — pressure, loneliness, lust, or societal expectations. Then when reality hits, frustration replaces affection, and resentment breeds violence. Let’s normalize choosing peace over pretense. It’s not weakness to walk away from what drains you. It’s strength. So please — before you say “I do,” ask yourself: >“Can I truly live with this person’s flaws without turning into a monster myself?” If the honest answer is no, then don’t do it. It’s better to be single and sane than married and murderous. What do you think — is intolerance or poor emotional management the bigger cause of domestic violence today?

Jukay:That's what her fans think. |
Every season of Big Brother Naija seems to have that one housemate who behaves in ways that make you wonder, “Is this really strategy or chaos?” This season, that person is clearly Imisi. From her sudden mood swings, odd dancing, random outbursts, and unpredictable attitude — to the way she sometimes drifts between being playful and downright provocative — she’s a total wildcard. Yet, surprisingly, she’s got one of the strongest fan bases out there. Her fans trend her name daily, defend her on social media, and even fund her votes like their life depends on it. So the question is: 👉 What exactly do people see in Imisi? 👉 Is it her “realness,” her drama, or just the entertainment factor? 👉 Or is Nigeria simply drawn to chaos and controversy? Personally, I think her unpredictability keeps the show alive — people love to hate her, but they still tune in to see what she’ll do next. Maybe that’s the secret to her growing popularity. What do you all think? Has Imisi cracked the code of attention, or are we just rewarding bad behavior with fame? |
Nigeria is not ready for this conversation. Not yet. |
sammiewrite:You are making alot of sense, this is the reality alot of Nigerians do not want to understand. |

writeprof:Dey play. Seems you don't know what's up. |
Walai:Stay on the topic and counter the points not deviating abd talking about vices like yahoo, hookup and the rest. |
chidiokay:While you are here trying to make a point but u missed the whole point of this post. Infact i doubt you read and understand the post. |
brain54:You made alot of sense im what you said. Still yet here is What Needs to Change: 1. Families must stop treating one child’s income as the family’s salvation. This enables entitlement a d complete dependency. 2. Boundaries must be set — love doesn’t mean endless handouts. 3. Support should focus on empowering dependents, not enabling laziness. I know of a soldier who is facing difficulties as thw breadwinner of his family, because of thw handouts he gives to his junior, his little bro became very lazy not doing anything worthwhile. He is now a chronic womanizer abs alcoholic. This allowance had to be cut off. 4. As a culture, we must face the fact that one person cannot save everyone. Yes we need to help our families, however they shouldn't take advantage of our generosity. |
Let’s be brutally honest — Black Tax is slavery dressed up as culture. For those unfamiliar, Black Tax is the cultural expectation that once you start earning, your salary belongs not just to you, but to your parents, siblings, cousins — sometimes even uncles and aunties. Sounds noble, right? But here’s the hard truth: Many people in their 20s and 30s especially firstborns are stuck living like they’re still broke, not because they don’t earn, but because their family’s demands never end. Everywhere in Africa, once you start earning, you’re automatically turned into the family’s ATM especially when not born with a silver spoon . It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out, if your salary is small, or if you’re struggling yourself — the moment you collect that paycheck, you owe everybody. They call it “responsibility.” But let’s tell the truth: It’s financial exploitation. It’s entitlement disguised as love. It’s one of the biggest reasons young Africans will NEVER break generational poverty. The Trap A graduate earns ₦70k. ₦20k to mum. ₦15k to dad. ₦10k to sibling. Another cousin calls for school fees. Uncle calls for “urgent 5k.” At the end of the month, guess what’s left? Zero. No savings. No investment. No future. Just endless poverty cycle. And when you dare say “No,” you’re suddenly the wicked, ungrateful child. The Irony Here’s the painful part: The same parents who drained their kids often never saved or invested when they were young. They now dump the responsibility of their own financial failure on their children. Instead of empowering the next generation, they enslave them with guilt. And let’s be real — how many families use this money wisely? At times, it goes into wasteful spending while the “breadwinner” suffers in silence. The Hard Truth Nobody Wants to Hear If African youth keep paying endless Black Tax, nobody will ever be rich. One person cannot save a whole clan. Period. 👉 A child’s duty is not to fund laziness, poor planning, or entitlement. 👉 If you destroy your own financial future to please family, you will just create another generation of broke people. The Conversation We Need Should young Africans build themselves first before carrying family on their back? Is saying “NO” selfish, or the only way to break free? At what point does “support” turn into slavery? Until we face the truth, Black Tax will keep Africa chained to poverty. What’s your take? Are we ready to break this culture, or are we too afraid of being called “selfish”?

Trueprophet91:Definitely |
Marriage is one topic that will never stop shaking tables, and today, we’re going to drag one uncomfortable truth into the open. 👉 Many women don’t actually marry the man they truly love or feel sexually attracted to. 👉 Instead, they marry the man who is ready — the one with money, stability, and seriousness, even if their heart isn’t fully in it. After the wedding, sex becomes a duty — something she tolerates just to have children. But once she’s done giving birth, the pretending ends. No more intimacy, no more affection, no more spark. What’s left? A cold partnership where both partners are simply co-parenting under the same roof. This raises tough questions: Is marriage in today’s world really about love, or just about timing and convenience? Can attraction and passion be “manufactured” after marriage? Is society’s pressure forcing too many people into unions built on endurance rather than happiness? And for men: are you sure the woman you married actually desired you — or just settled because you were available? The truth is, pretense in marriage always has an expiry date. Once the acting is over, reality kicks in. That’s why many homes lose their intimacy after kids arrive. So, Nairalanders, over to you 👇: Do women really marry who they love — or just who is ready? And men, how do you know you weren’t just “the available option”? Let’s debate this. No holding back.

Yong4ever:Shows your guys don't know anything about health professionals. Yet same you will go to chemist and open your nyash to be injected. |
cocolacec:Won't really change a thing People will just devise a means to either run away or manipulate that law. P. S. Why are putting all the fault on men as if women are babies that don't have faults too and can't make choices of their own. |
creolehunt:Is it not odd that after “decades in the health sector,” you claimed, you still don’t know the difference between a cleaner handing you a box and a pharmacist safeguarding your life? That explains a lot of your kinda person. 1️⃣ “What’s special about being a consultant?” The same thing that’s special about a consultant physician vs. a ward attendant with 20 years of experience pushing stretchers. Depth of expertise, authority in decision-making, and responsibility for outcomes. A Consultant Pharmacist is the highest level of medicine expertise — specializing in clinical pharmacology, oncology, cardiology, infectious diseases, and more. They optimize therapy, prevent drug interactions, lead antimicrobial stewardship, and literally save hospitals billions in drug wastage and resistance control. 2️⃣ “Pharmacists can’t prescribe or diagnose.” Wrong and lazy. Pharmacists don’t claim to replace doctors — but prescription authority exists in Nigeria in structured forms (e.g., community pharmacists handle minor ailments, contraceptives, OTCs, and substitutions). Abroad matters because it’s the direction Nigeria is going — vaccination, prescribing under protocols, collaborative drug therapy management. You don’t freeze progress just because your knowledge is stuck in the 1980 and 90s. 3️⃣ “In federal teaching hospitals they only dispense through a pigeonhole.” And whose fault is that? The system that underutilizes pharmacists. Why do you think doctors are even japaing. Even in those same hospitals, doctors will call pharmacy for dose adjustments, drug shortages, interactions, and parenteral nutrition advice. If you think pharmacists are “pigeonhole dispensers,” it’s because you’ve only ever looked through the pigeonhole instead of stepping into a clinical ward round. Hope you can see the holes in your limited knowledge and the only reference you keep giving is a particular hospital. 4️⃣ “What’s special if a cleaner knows where drugs are?” Knowing a drug’s location ≠ knowing its pharmacokinetics, interactions, contraindications, therapeutic monitoring, renal/hepatic dosing, side-effect profile, and cost-effective substitution. By that logic, the cook in your house knows where the pepper is, so he’s automatically a consultant nutritionist? Please. Bottom line: Pharmacy is science, safety, and strategy. If pharmacists were just “dispensers,” WHO, NAFDAC, PCN, FIP, and every modern health system wouldn’t fight to expand their roles. The fact that you can’t see the value doesn’t make it absent — it only exposes the limits of your understanding, ho upgrade your myopic thinking. |
