The Bible says flee from every appearance of evil. I hope you have not been having sex with this guy which may explain your confusion. No way do you move in with this chap.

I miss when girls rocked flare...

If a senator can be kidnapped, what hope do we, the common man, have? Better security is needed o. No need to politicise this. Our collective lives are at stake.

If I understand correctly this man should be in his late forties or mid fifties. If his words are true,the daughter attacked him on multiple occasions. All gloves are off in my opinion once that happens. I have no problem with FAFO once that line is crossed

How the heck do we get defeated by Malawi?

How long did the cultural revolution in China last,Dubai took decades to be turned into what it is today and the people survived on far worse diet than we have here today,Singapore was a hell hole when LKY came in to transform it and the people for decades weren't eating buffets or big macs.

Stop stating examples that do not help your case. Do you know how many people died in China? Singapore was not a hell hole and the LKY didn't do this crap that your government is doing. Dubai - far worse diet? Do you know what you are yarning? In fact your entire post is baseless. Stop smoking expired weed.

davidque:
When you make such bold and unbelievable claim, the best is to follow it up with examples of how 10k will sustain a family for 4 days. Besides, why is "Yoruba muslim family" in your claims? is food cheaper for muslims

The account is most likely not Yoruba Muslim. I have realised some accounts are created to make posts that deliberately trigger negative emotions against certain sections of Nigerians.

Better flee this appearance of evil

Totally out of touch. What does a modest family mean as well?

Note that 10000 naira is less than 8 dollars.

South Africans: These foreigners are taking our medals ...

Rutherinspace:
As someone who has hired talents local and foreign. I can tell you that Nigerians have poor work ethics. It's not always about pay. Our workers sometimes exhibit "I don't care attitude " We have poor work ethics compared to foreigners. I can give you several examples from my working experience. It's not easy to get foreign workers into Nigeria and it saves me a lot to use local workers. But when these workers don't understand contracts, timelines, dedication and diligence, it's better getting foreign workers whose sole business is to get the work done and get out.

BS on poor work ethics. Train your workers. Develop them. Pick the right ones. I have colleagues who work very hard and with integrity and are solid professionals. Your post generalises!

I disagree with him. What is his company doing to bring Nigerians up to scratch? Look at companies like Shell Nigeria. Aren't they employing Nigerians from the same market? These Nigerians are also developing other Nigerians. He is being lazy!

Babygal2020:
You mean ROI for April?

Actual drop. I noted the balance on May 1 and checked again yesterday. May 1 was higher than what it was yesterday which is strange. I track my balance at least monthly.

The balance would reflect the ROI for April.

Good day, Guys

Pls do anyone using stanbic mmf having issues in funding his/her acct cause I deposits money into my acct on 30/04/26 and my acct has not been credited till now.

Issue may have been due to 01 May 2026.

LoriHamo:
If you are new with this kind of investments.... you might need to tally awhile....

Do not jump into anything with both legs yet....

I started with fixed deposit...then moved to .Tbills + .MMF and finally added Equity....

I later abandoned fixed deposit, will abandon Tbills in July upon maturity....

I am now into MMF and equity..

Take your time...read up on the thread and decide on what suits your goals...

Same here. A quick note anyone noticed a drop in their monies at StanbicIBTC MMF?

Dated 1, 2, 4 and 5. No 2 eventually turns into 4 down the road. Preference is 4.

This is shameful!

I don't get this. They caught you cheating and you made a video with your face to whine about your husband forgiving you.

It is clear what your goals are. Better to bury your head in shame than monetise this.

Ignore this if she was not the person. And yes I will never click on such links to watch the media but would rather go off headlines. Why? Why waste my data.

The only thing this Tinubu’s government has impressed me with is their zeal to enact state police to curb the spread of insecurity in the nation. Even though they are still in the “we will” phase, I still like am sha, will that make me vote for him, hell no!

Will my vote count with the new INEC leadership, hell no!

On Election Day, I go sit down for my house, if God wants to save Nigeria, let him save us, if he doesn’t want Nigeria saved, make dem carry go..

Curb what insecurity?

IyaTola:
I get where this is coming from — rejection stings, and it’s easy to build a whole theory around it. But a lot of what you wrote turns normal human behavior into something one-sided and cynical, and that’ll hurt you more than help you.

First, rejection doesn’t automatically mean “she lost respect for you.” In many cases, it’s the opposite. If you ask someone out directly and handle a “no” calmly, that usually signals confidence and self-respect. What does reduce respect is begging, pressuring, or trying to “buy” affection — not because she’s a woman, but because that behavior shows insecurity.

Also, the idea that women only say yes if they “can’t find someone better” or out of pity is just not grounded in reality. People (men and women) choose partners for all kinds of reasons — attraction, compatibility, timing, shared values, emotional connection. Reducing it to ego games and “fallback options” oversimplifies human relationships and can make you approach dating with distrust from the start.

You’re right about a few important things though:

If someone says no, take it seriously.

Don’t try to force or negotiate attraction.

Keep your dignity and move on.


That part is solid.

But here’s the healthier way to frame it: Rejection isn’t a power move or an ego boost — it’s just a mismatch. Not everyone will be into you, just like you’re not into everyone. It doesn’t make you less valuable, and it doesn’t make them manipulative.

And moving on shouldn’t be about “she’s not special” — it’s better to think: “we’re not a fit.” That keeps you grounded without turning bitter.

If you go into dating believing most women are out to use or disrespect you, you’ll either push good people away or attract the exact situations you’re trying to avoid.

Focus on:
-Being someone you respect
-Choosing people who show genuine interest
-Walking away when it’s not mutual

That’s not about “winning” or proving anything — it’s just how healthy relationships actually work.

Correct

OP is very incorrect from my experience on the lose respect part.

Never tried it. I am not sure I will based on comments on this forum.

This is why for me Nigeria should decisively deal with the terrorists in this country. We should nip it before it boomerangs out of control.

This is a joke - right? Remind me what Taiwo said about multiple taxes.

Tetrahedron:
Whoever is threatening the country with political violence should also remember that they themselves were also eliminated in the so called “wetie”
You cannot threaten anyone with violence,
no one has said you can’t field your candidate,
if you don’t have any reliable candidate whose fault is that?
So Tinubu should pick a candidate for you because you are opposition.
Ok
I think DSS should pick this guy for incitement

Predictable... I am only surprised that it is one like because your comrades haven't noticed or have not being mobilised.

How much mw did pdp deliver in 16yrs? And for your lies that Siemens built 25MW while it was actually 14,400mw in 2yrs 5months. Here's the break down.

The difference between Egypt’s Siemens project and Nigeria’s own deal comes down to speed of execution, structure, and consistency.
🇪🇬 Egypt (Fast – about 2.5 years)
Handled by Siemens
Why it moved quickly:
Central control: Decisions came directly from Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and were executed without delays
Full funding ready upfront: Egypt secured financing immediately (billions of dollars arranged quickly)
Single focus: Build new power plants from scratch (3 massive stations at once)
Minimal bureaucracy: Fewer approvals, less political back-and-forth
Strong transmission planning: They upgraded generation and grid together
👉 Result: 14,400 MW delivered in ~2.5 years
🇳🇬 Nigeria (Slower – ongoing since 2019)
Known as the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap
Why it’s slower:
Complex problem: Not just building new plants — Nigeria is fixing:
Transmission
Distribution
Metering
Funding delays: Loans (from Germany and others) took time to finalize
Multiple stakeholders: Federal Govt, DISCOs, TCN, regulators — all must align
Policy & leadership changes: Government transitions slow momentum
Existing infrastructure issues: Old, weak grid needs upgrades before adding big power
Phases in Nigeria
Phase 1: Improve existing grid to reach ~7,000 MW (ongoing)
Phase 2: Expand to ~11,000 MW
Phase 3: Target ~25,000 MW long term
👉 This is planned over many years (possibly 8–10+ years total)
The Real Difference (Simple)
Egypt: “Build big, fast, from scratch”
Nigeria: “Fix a broken system while upgrading it”
Straight truth
Egypt’s project was easier to execute because it was a clear, single mission with full money and control.
Nigeria’s is harder because it’s rebuilding an entire power ecosystem, not just adding capacity.

Pdp did not add one single mw to the grid for 16yrs. Arlt least Apc added 700mw... all of them have messed up but apc did little. Olu Agunloye of pdp stole almost 10 billion dollars for nepa and obj denied signing any paper this same pple are all in ADC una new campion. We need new Brains like bianca ojukwu, soludo, otti, as vice president

PDP didn't add what? Where my Afam people at? Could you educate this person!!

erad:
University lectures organized by the university, not some random group. The fact that he accepts such invitations says a lot about him and his need for validation.

Y'all just twist everything to play victim. He's dragging the whole school when he should be dragging the organization that invited him and himself for not making sure they were capable of hosting him and have gotten all necessary approval.

From what I know of OAU, no one there is threatened by whatever he's going to say. It's more about the logistics and his security. Like I said, if the event was organized by the school management, they would know how to adequately make arrangements to host him without affecting normal academic activities. If anything happens to him, no one will mention the organization, it's the school they'll hold responsible.

It is normal for universities to invite people of public visibility to talk. Does the current government have the emotional maturity to allow the below kind of discussions without negative behaviour?

Wallade:
Can you prove that Tinubu is killing opposition voice?

You are too small and tiny to disgrace Tinubu.

This is funny. Pa Tinubu is the only one embarrassing himself.

Let's see what happens once he leaves office. Either he does in 2027 or 2031 - what is certain is that he must leave that seat.

Flangelo12:
The $2.3 billion Siemens-Nigeria Power Deal (Presidential Power Initiative - PPI) is active and in its second phase as of early 2026, aimed at modernizing Nigeria's power grid and improving reliability.

Following a period of stagnation, the project was revived by President Tinubu's administration. It has successfully delivered and commissioned multiple mobile substations and transformers, yielding roughly 984 MW in additional capacity. The overall target is to reach 25,000 MW with projects ongoing to reduce grid outages.


Key status updates include:

Revival and Status: The partnership was stalled but was revived and accelerated, with, as of early 2026, the project is moving forward under President Tinubu, having seen increased momentum.

Infrastructure Progress: Siemens has delivered and installed 132/33 KV mobile substations and several 75/100 MVA and 60/66 MVA transformers nationwide.

Phase 2 Goals: The project is currently focused on upgrading seven lines and installing 10 transmission lines covering 554 km to boost capacity to 7,140 MW.
.
Key Focus: The deal seeks to mitigate grid failure, increase electricity access, and upgrade key transmission substations.

Timeline: The project timeline was extended, with some critical project components (substations) expected to be finalized around 2026.

Where did you get this info from?

israelmao:
Just like Ajuri the former presidential spokesperson faded away after tendering his resignation so Edun will as well become the backwater.

Power is transient and like a mist that quickly vanish at the sight of sunlight.

You do know that this is true for Tinubu as well. He will pass away and we here will decide the legacy we shall tell our kids. Hint: it may not be a good one.

Believeintruth:
That is why I feel for Oyedele. In my opinion this appointment is more of a poisoned chalice and will test his integrity. Will he do eye service and soil his name, or will he tell the truth and risk being fired by his boss?

I have no feelings for Oyedele. He is an extremely mature adult and knows exactly what he is getting into. His integrity is already in tatters.

The funniest thing here seems to be that BAT thinks he would win a free and fair election. Power really intoxicates.
