Thank you for posting this, I was just about to address this aspect, If Nigeria earned 55 trillion from only crude oil sales alone then where did all the money go to?

The total earning of 2025, from tax, crude oil, gas and every revenue was 10 trillion.

it is either APC government headed by Tinubu have stolen most of the money or they have borrowed most of the earnings from the past through loans(including Buhari), if so, Nigeria is only getting only less than 10% of the 55 trillion because of bad governance...

Nigeria only keeps about half of crude proceeds due to joint venture, so if an average of 55 trillion naira sales of crude oil, it only gets about 30 trillion. and then FG only keeps about half of that 30 thrillion for its budget, as it shares the remainder to state and local government. so it is left with about 15 thrillion from 55 thrillion.

just to appoint 50 "wise" men is rocket science.

2 /50 have publicy denounced them, now imagine how many have privately denounced them. Bunch of jokers. They don't even have the decency to inform the acclaimed wise ones that they are appointed. They are playing to the gallery, and familiar jokers

A woman claiming to be the biological mother of social media personality Kolu has publicly accused him of neglecting her and failing to offer support.

She recounted the challenges she faced during pregnancy and after childbirth, stating that she endured hardship to ensure he survived and grew up.

According to her, she resisted pressure from others to abandon him as a child because she believed he was destined for greatness.

She expressed deep pain over what she described as Kolu’s failure to remember her now that he has achieved recognition.

Mama, did you remember him in poverty. Entitled mothers. Kolu, you self do something for this mama, but i can tell na entitled mama.

I hear you, and yes — the handlers messed up badly. That part is true.

But let’s also be honest: blaming only the location doesn’t erase what people chose to do on camera. Nobody was forced to beg. That behaviour didn’t come from the slums — it came from desperation and clout-chasing.

Every big country has dirty areas and beautiful areas. What embarrassed us wasn’t poverty; it was how people behaved publicly.

Saying “it wouldn’t happen in Warri” may be true — but then the real question is: why did it happen at all?

He went to slums in other African countries, why didn't they harass him with begging ?

It is a cultural problem plaquing most Nigerians. A mix of greed and insatiability. If a petrol carrying truck falls today and people troop there to fetch and suddenly an explosion occurs and kills scores of people. Trust me, if it such truck accident happens again in a week time, my people will be there to scoop fuel. We are greedy and hide under poverty. While poverty pushes one to seek help, our desperation has NO SHAME.

@OP, redirect your anger and pain to a strong quest for LEGITIMATE success. There is dignity in labour ! Hold your head high.

SeeWahala:
It's not a case of 'how many times you helped' . . .

It's a question of 'how many times you genuinely helped him WITHOUT SCORN, TAUNTS or DISGUST

You yourself knows the truth. We who went through secondary school know all these things 😏

stop justifying bollocks. He helped !, irrespective of how you believe he may have done it. don't forget they were young and less matured then as well. A sensible will not mock a classmate, talk less doing it openly, it takes a level of stewpidd to get to that level

advanceDNA:
Lol….. show me what exactly she did from what she wrote…..baba… thats how pple that do next to nothing sound.. Vague!!!
She ddnt say anything specific about how she poured love into the relationship and thats why i was specific with those question…and her response to me was still vague..

If there’s only one thing ive come to know about that gender is that they overestimate their worth in your life.… ordinary to visit you Is seen as huge favour for many of them as they expect you repay by paying their transport to and fro..

They will say they suffered with you & made you who u are when the real picture is she ddnt really have any planB and all the while during ur struggling days you were using your small salary to take care of them and pay all the bills & rent alone….buy land alone, build house alone..etc..

Is it not the same gender that will visit you and be giving you green light with, “i will soon be going oooo”


Baba.. many of them are used to expecting men to keep the spark alive from dating stage…because they already believe they are doing you greater favour by agreeing to date you or have consensual sex…

if u want to find out just how little women do to keep the romantic spark alive...do a survey here and you will hear what most men will say… only few guys will tell you their wives or babe make the first romantic, nice gestures regularly…..they believe sex is ultimate, which they never see as mutual and thats why you will hear them talk about sex as something they “give” you

You got it . Very ambiguous acclaimed effort. Op should tell us what she has done consistently to get the communication and spark of the marrriage up and running. I wont surprised there is lack of intimacy and op is one of those ladies that will rather die than initiate sex, or believe why would she use her money to book a get together for the 2 of them, Sometimes, people have very faulty ideology that they are not even willing to reassess. Everybody wants change, but to personally change oneself for good is war.

gassbee:
how come captivus has never occured with married couples

If this was between married couples, how will they allow it become open issue? When it is between cheating partners, they probably book a hotel and ashamed to call for help from a close confidant and most likely in a short term hotel as such in a place like Africa, it becomes a thing of name and shame. The chances of it happening between cheating partner is also high, as the nervy interaction can increase the chances of a locked muscle contraction which get more intense with such cheating couples.

A married woman once confided in me that when she got married his husband could not have sex with her for over 2 weeks as there was no chance of penetration and they had to go to a hospital and she was injected to get relaxation and almost drowsy before the first sex with her husband could happen.

Sexyrosey:
The Loneliness No One Talks About

It’s a different kind of pain to feel lonely while lying next to someone who is supposed to love you.
To be married, yet feel emotionally single.
To wake up every day craving affection, attention, and connection… and still go to bed empty.

People think loneliness only comes from being alone.
But sometimes it comes from being with someone who no longer sees you, hears you, or desires you.

I miss being wanted.
I miss being touched with intention, spoken to with softness, loved with effort.
I miss feeling like I matter.

I’m tired of pretending I’m okay.
Tired of acting strong when inside I feel invisible.
Tired of pouring love into a space that feels cold and silent.

This is not about perfection.
It’s about presence.
About romance.
About feeling chosen, not just tolerated.

The hardest part is knowing that I’m still capable of love, passion, and deep connection — but I’m living in a place where none of it is returned.

And that kind of loneliness… hurts more than being alone ever could.

What tangible effort have you made so far to improve the situation? Is physical intimacy missing from the marriage? is he denying you your conjugal rights? is he providing you the conjugal right , but does not care if you are satisfied? are you expecting romantic dates and gifts, but not getting them? i can tell you have kids? I have a feeling you have an expectation problem? i cant tell whether your expectation is justified or otherwise. From your comment in 2024, i can tell you are so emotionally starved and even on a dating forum? If you are already on that path, turn back now as you will surely enjoy the attention , possibly touch, trigger, stolen sex for a short while and then realise the joy is very shortlived, as the roller coaster of guilt, disappointment will keep hitting you harder. Seek help from trained counsellors , not necessarily pastors or imams oh. If you provide answers to the question above, i may suggest a different approach.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Very good advice but it's Morocco's day the Eagles are going 6 ft deep

I see your reverse psychology, do whatever to cope.

Lucky to be on a 0-0 at this time. Lots of lost balls. We need to slow the pace of the game down a little, hold the ball a little and explore counter attacks as the moroccans are eager to score, meaning they can also conceed. It will be a tough 2nd half, but we can scale through only if we up our quality. Onyedika has to relax and shake the pressure off.

Nwabali and captain Ndidi out, who is replacing those guys against Morroco?

Democracy is a game of numbers, even if you hate the winner raise to exponent 1000, it does not mean , the winner is not the winner. I am suspecting the loss got in to these losers brain and manifesting as bipolar behavior. Your party was more of less no contest in at least 12 states out of the 36 states, and you believe you won a presidential election. What is going on

Presidential election in Nigeria is a game of numbers , and not winning states, In a 3-4 main contestant, Tinubu could afford in 2023 not to win any of the 36 states and could still have won most of the numbers to be declared winner of the presidential election. Let that sink. It is not ELECTORAL COLLEGE like in US.

NSCDC licensed to handle guns should take over as directed by the President. Also, you can afford to hire private security.

SonofElElyonRet:
Looks like vdm. He issued the threat then advanced towards Jollof

How did you arrive at threat issued and advancing? i see a narrow passage to seats that people. I know Nigerians or maybe humans suspend truth to support who they like

kingthreat:
VDM was the aggressor. Threatened to slap someone way older than him and approached him to physically assault. I won't blame Mr. Jollof for throwing the first punch. Delta boys no fear nobody.

How did you get this account ? VDM may just be walking to his seat, are you sure you did not create a scenario on your head? How did you know jollof threw the first punch?

Who was the aggressor? humans have an instinct to defend.

10k euro 💶 is like 10k naira in Nigeria

But our currency lose value

Oh my God, how did you arrive at this conclusion? A well paid earner will struggle to earn that in 3 months after tax.

Imagine your relative sending his/her 2 years saving of 10,000 euro to you for project, little wonder some blow it up in 2 weeks after all, it is just like 10,000 naira.

OriOko88:
How will defenders be playing penalties. Hv never seen a confused team like this. Basset starting a penalty kick. Chelle shud be sacked tomorrow

How did you arrive at the conclusion that defender don't take penalties? in fact, research suggest they tend to be better.

ZombieDredd:
Low-key am happy we go nowhere.

NFF must not see free money to chop.
Let them do overhaul of this team if they are serious to play football

Local champions

Abeg, no be today we dey do overhaul, it doesn't mean zilch, if we care is not taken we may not be at the next 2 world cups.

It seems over

ah, everything that could go wrong still going wrong.

Joeboypondeck:
arokodare might miss penalty or your new idolo Benjamin Fredrick

Long leg guys are suspects, then players so praised and young also lose their nerves. if i had my way, i will ask the first 5 kicks should avoid those 2.

OBAJESU:
God will use Nwabali to stop Congolese penalty kicks tonight 🙏, in Jesus Name 🙏. Amen!

He just made the most important save of the playoff minutes ago

i somehow feel if we survive the next 5 minutes we may win penalties.

lordm:
Let's be sincere. Congo will be better off representing Africa than Nigeria. They play a better football. This our police football can't match the Europeans at all. It's like a punishment watching this match.

It does not necessary work like that,

I am praying for a penalty shootout so badly, that is how bad we are playing

Wotowotoman:
It’s not remote. That’s most likely why he’s not playing. He must have picked up an injury. What else will be the reason? I bow for the kind things wey I dey read here

Before you make such conclusion, you use instances at the end of first half like limping, moving in pain e.t.c. You dont just say most likely without any strong suggestion at the end of first half.

Wotowotoman:
You don’t assume that he got injured? 🤔

That is a remote possibility.

We are now so vulnerable with what even looked like a penalty against us not giving in just 20 minutes. They have had way more chances than they had in the first 45 minutes. It has the feeling of when Nigeria was playing ivory coast in the final at 1-0 up in the second half. It is looking like when will Nigeria concede than when can Nigeria score. It will be a miracle if we escape this.

I know Osimhen is a handsful, but taking him out is what i dont understand, except he personally requested to be removed. He has no moral right to be lashing out badly at his fellow players. The DR Congolese were playing with fear with him on the pitch.

800m. that is the easy choice.
