Toolegit123:
Good afternoon Nairalanders.

A friend of mine came to seek advise from me yesterday and I only gave him the little I knew I could give.

There's the girl he has been dating for over a year now and things had really gotten serious between the both of them. So, taking the next step which is about going to see her people has been on his mind for some time now.

Now, here's the problem. This particular lady in question is presently working in a hotel and she has been holding a very big position in the hotel. Just like how we are made to believe, concerning ladies working in hotels. Of course, we've heard of various cases of how ladies working in hotels turn out to be promiscuous and render their bodies for men who comes to lodge in those hotels which they're working in. This friend of mine is worried,and has asked his lady times without a number if she would quit the hotel work after getting married to pursue another career. He has even promised to open a super market for her but she didn't obliged to his request.

As a matter of fact,my friend is currently considering walking out of the relationship but I told him to speak with her one more time. And if she should insist on quitting the hotel work,then,he could do whatever he has on his mind.

So,my dear fellow Nairalanders, especially the guys ,how do you guys view this kind of situation?

make your friend waka, certain jobs are not meant for married people end of.

I am telling you o..because it seems EFCC don’t want to use good lawyers,instead they would want to cut cost while she spares no cost inorder to get the best lawyers when she has stollen billions in dollars how much will 400,000 pounds legal fee be to her to get the best lawyers? Plus the mumu Goodluck whom it was alleged she was in a romantic relationship,threw her a lifeline when he told them they were all work related expenses so the case isn’t looking good for Nigeria and the evil thief may just walk free.

You still have that mind frame stole what? in reality this woman is meant to be richer than the Prime minister of the UK. You think its easy to be a Director in Shel for nearly 8 years? then Become a minister? Have you seen the cars Dino malaye drives?. From the beginning of this case Is aw the evidence I knew straightaway that was lobish, they cannot influence the UK court and delay it like they are doing with Kanu ,here you go home and return the next day for the case.The said witnesses for the EFCC are not on trial when in fact the same EFCC said these guys are the people who witnessed the purchase and they refuse to try them ,also so far all those billions of goods she is meant to have bought are in thine air, and the mansion she is suppose to own are next to Jesus.

GeneralOuki:
When it comes to hypocrisy and double standards no one plays it like the Brits, no one. They wrote the book on that sh!t.

But my confusion in this whole trial is .... Why the hell is Alison being tried in London for the crimes she allegedly committed in Nigeria and against the Nigerian people? If this doesn't scream "neo colonialism" I don't know what does. If Nigeria is truly an independent sovereign nation then the UK have no rights whatsoever to try any of Nigerian citizens for crimes committed in Nigeria.

You must be new to the case, where were you when the said Alison challenged the EFCC to buy her ticket that she would return to Nigeria and the EFCC then turn around and said No she is trying to run away from the UK authorities ?
Some times People forget this is a very powerful and rich woman a whole director of Shell for that matter.

Ofodirinwa:
This woman is being lynched because she refused to allow Shell, Chevron and Exxon to go un-audited in 2015 as they had been doing since the beginning.

Exactly and some brossess them in Nigeria cant see it.at least nah Uk nor be 9jer the case dey

Flangelo12:
This case is in UK, abi?

Let's wait for the outcome.

The case d on die, from Day one the evidence was read in court I just realized, there was no case.

Hello guys, I really need your advice because I’ve been turning this over in my head and I don’t want to make a mistake.

So a bit of background… I’m in my final year at the university, just trying to finish with good grades and figure out what’s next for my life.

A close friend of mine introduced me to her cousin a few months ago. He’s doing really well for himself, stable, calm, and very intentional in how he carries himself.

We got along pretty quickly and things moved from just talking to a serious relationship faster than I expected, but it has been good so far.

Now the situation is this… he wants me to move in with him.

At first, I thought maybe it’s just excitement and love growing fast, but he’s been consistent about it and says it’s because he sees a future with me and wants us to start building our life together properly. I do like him a whole lot , and part of me likes the idea of us being together in that way, like a real couple sharing everyday life.

But I spoke to my friends and they are not having it at all. They keep telling me that once I move in, it might reduce the chances of marriage happening, that men can get too comfortable and stop seeing the need to “formalise” things. Even his cousin who introduced us is saying I shouldn’t as well but I’m quite surprised because this guy has been so good to me in every aspect of my life.

Now I’m stuck in the middle. I don’t want to act based on fear, but I also don’t want to ignore advice that could save me from future regret.

So I’m asking honestly… what do you think I should do in this situation?

Is it a must to have one entity providing electricity nationwide? Why can't there be independent providers in each State? ... or for the various cities or LGA's? Why can't the Private sector be providers? ...with the local government having oversight and controls on rates?...as done in many developed countries? Twenty years for China to run electricity....after that what? ...we will take over when pats begin to fail? We'll be back to square one.... pouring money into rehabilitation...year after year with increasing blackouts. These 20th century analog stars need to sit down .

you must be out of touch, where was you when the FG change the law and signed a new law that gives all state to generate their own electricity? I think Abia state took the initiative as at this moment, the rest of the state governors behaved as if they did not know about the law backing them to generate their own electricity

Rochasstatue:
Nobody should dictate how you mourn.
It is within you to do so.
That wedding ring symbolises eternal connection till death.
Since death has now occurred, you are free from the union.
During grief, you decide on your own whether to continue to wear it or discard it.
You can decide to stop wearing it when you feel it is time to move on after rediscovering love.
You can make it a pendant and wear with a chain.
You can put it in a ring box and let be there.
You are at liberty to do with it whatever pleases you.
Many people are in joyless marriages and so do not in the event of the death of a spouse feel any pain or have fond memories.
They write from a sense of relief that at last, like Peter Obi, they can jump from one partner to another shamelessly.

Have you gone fru his grief B4?You speak of so much xpirience of thes things

You can continue using it if the bond is real, take care of the kids

How do you discard your wedding ring after losing your partner?

Some people say you should place it in the casket before burial; a final gesture of love and closure. But what happens if, like me, you didn’t think of that at the time? Does that now carry some deeper meaning, as some might assume?

I’m simply asking, sincerely: how do you part with your wedding ring?


Copied

Well you have to let it go at some point, you can go to the grave site and leave it there,or throw it into the river or melt it as someone said and also you can sell it afterwards cos dont forget her ring is returned to you as well.

Hustle well, hustle tight, hold your side, women will chase you.

These other old American docile ineffectual buffoons who call themselves leaders.. neither here nor there. They sit idle and watch Islamists try to destroy the Christian civilization in the West.

Donald Trump got it right with this astute Soldier called Pete Hegseth.

Jesus is Lord!

so because he said he loved Jesus you don key into his narrative, don't forget Judas also suppose love Jesus too

OSUigboFlatHead:
So, calling an imported second-hand good that came from China, Germany, UK etc Belgium is being proud of your language and heritage?
Naso u dey think?

I don't think you got the gist, the point here is communication and message received, if someone says Belgium goods, the message means imported 2nd hand used goods, There is no need for this woke reasoning which is making s o me young persons in the Uk thinking like AI.
Once you understand what the persons meant as an informal language end of story .This is how some of you lot think someone speaking pidgin is ill educated but the almighty BBC deem it fit to have BBC Pidgin and recognise it. The vast majority of you lot tend to overthink this, I come to Nigeria every now and then and I speak pidgin English at every opportunity, you need how people respond back in what the think is correct English ,you my friend belong to that school of thought.

What's even the meaning of Belgium whatever?
Tokunbo is Tokunbo. What came from overseas...
Do we ship anything in from the country of Belgium?

it is a street talk for imported 2nd hand parts or stuff.
We need to be proud of our language and our herittage.

Janeustine1:
That’s cool.
I noticed most people are not aware they could buy brand new engines for their cars.. many believe only Belgium engines are the last option forgetting that most are Nigerian used repaired engines they still
Sell for them as direct Belgium..
if anyone needs my assistance in getting a brand new engine they can connect with me.. cheers 👌

Well not for every car, I think you can only do this for Japanese cars, any other brand, its might just be that you should buy toks car

ExudeLoveToAll:
Why do you lot's don't like an honest review? If someone like you finds himself in government you would like to surround yourself with sycophants who can't say the truth.


Are you aware some of those choice areas mentioned don't have good portable water ? Which won't even be comparable to number 10 on the list but because the dude isn't a sycophant like you there is a problem.

Be calming down, the major cities in the world no one drinks Tap water we all buy water,The whole EU buy water to drink so your point is?

1x2x3:
In Africa

The vast majority of Nigerians really do not appreciate ourselves, if you know how far we gone in Africa you sef go hail us Nigerians.YOu need to see how other Africans envy us and how they wish they have a fraction of what we have.DO you know what it takes to hold nearly 300M people down? Look at the immediate countries surrounding us,what do you see?

House Rent In Lagos Fourth Most Expensive In Africa...when everyone wants to live in lekki and it's environs. There are cheap accommodations in other parts of Lagos that beats lekki hands down i.e good clean water, clean fresh air, cheap, affordable rent money for spacious, gorgeous apartments, no floods during rainy seasons etc

I think Banks should be held responsible, they need to create easy mortgage for young families to get on the property lardder

I feel guilty leaving you without evidence.

1. China 2nd largest in output( but low quality chips.)


Chinese Chips can't handle cars and phones or laptops. That's why 90% of Chinese car companies buys Chips from Europe instead of China (Since USA won't sell them).

China don't produce advanced chips
.
(You can verify this with info from Chinese auto companies online) It's Not Something They Deny.

2 . Taiwan and South Korea are Miles ahead of China in creating advance Chips

3. The US is the leading Semiconductor chips producers (about 70%)

4. President Xi plead with Trump because China tech companies were facing shortages as their chips and are laggy.

Take your time and read all these and see how it relates to al that you wrote there as if china was begging anybody up there

Three top Chinese AI firms have been told to reject US-origin capital without government approval. The directive reshapes how Washington money reaches Beijing's strategic technology champions.

The instructions were issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in recent weeks. Bloomberg first reported the guidance on Friday.


Beijing Cuts Off US Capital For Its AI Giants
ByteDance, TikTok's parent and China's most valuable private startup, was told to block US secondary share sales without state clearance.

The instruction carries weight given ByteDance's complex ownership structure and pool of US institutional backers. Any secondary liquidity now funnels through Beijing.

Moonshot AI, considering a Hong Kong listing, was told to refuse US capital in funding rounds and deals without approval.

The restriction complicates pre-IPO planning for a firm widely seen as China's answer to OpenAI. Any foreign allocation will likely tilt toward Middle Eastern and Hong Kong investors.

StepFun, a Tencent-backed startup focused on multimodal and generative AI, received the same guidance as Moonshot. The company is less globally known but ranks among Beijing's strategic AI champions.

Why China Is Gating Its AI Firms
The guidance follows Meta Platforms' roughly $2 billion acquisition of Singapore-based Manus, a startup with deep Chinese engineering roots.

Beijing imposed exit restrictions on the co-founders of Manus and reviewed the deal for potential technology export violations.

On Wednesday, White House science director Michael Kratsios accused Chinese entities of running industrial-scale campaigns to extract US AI models.

"Foreign entities who build on such fragile foundations should have little confidence in the integrity and reliability of the models they produce," he stated.

The Trump administration signaled new enforcement against firms using model distillation, according to reports.

The capital divide between Washington and Beijing looks set to deepen. Beijing may formalize the guidance into a published regulation over the coming weeks.

DeepSeek unveils new AI model tailored for Huawei chips as China pushes for tech autonomy

FILE PHOTO: China's DeepSeek trained AI model on Nvidia's best chip despite US ban, official says · Reuters

BEIJING, April 24 (Reuters) - DeepSeek, the Chinese startup whose low-cost AI model stunned the world last year, launched on Friday a preview of a highly awaited new model adapted for Huawei chip technology, underlining China's growing autonomy in the sector.


The Pro version of the new model outperforms other open-source models in ‌world-knowledge benchmarks, trailing only Google's closed-source Gemini-Pro-3.1, DeepSeek said.

The close collaboration with Huawei on the new model, the V4, contrasts with DeepSeek's past reliance on Nvidia's AI chips. Huawei said ‌its chips were used in some of the V4's training process.

"This is a big deal for China's AI industry," said He Hui, director of semiconductor research at consultancy Omdia.

"Huawei's Ascend chips are the country's best homegrown alternative to Nvidia, and supporting DeepSeek V4 ​shows that top Chinese AI models can now run on Chinese hardware."

Most leading AI models are trained and run on chips made by Nvidia. And DeepSeek's pivot to Huawei underscores concerns raised by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that the U.S. firm risks losing its developer ecosystem in China due to U.S. export controls and Beijing's push for self sufficiency.


"The day that DeepSeek comes out on Huawei first, that is a horrible outcome for our nation," Huang said on a podcast this month.

The V4 is the fastest model to trend at the top spot on Hugging Face, a popular developer forum for sharing and running machine learning models, said Lewis Tunstall, ‌a machine learning engineer at Hugging Face.

It is good at handling extremely ⁠long and complex text tasks, and it does so much more cheaply than competing top models, but has some limitations. For instance, it doesn't support multiple modalities like images and video, Tunstall said.

HUAWEI AND DEEPSEEK'S CLOSE COLLABORATION

DeepSeek has drawn criticism from Washington and U.S. rivals that its success owes much to the improper use ⁠of American know-how.

For its part, DeepSeek has acknowledged the use of Nvidia chips but has not said whether those chips were subject to export bans. It has also said it has not intentionally used synthetic data generated by OpenAI.


Friday's launch comes a day after the White House accused China of stealing U.S. AI labs' intellectual property on an industrial scale, and ahead of a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing next month to meet ​with ​China's leader, Xi Jinping.

The Trump administration in January gave the green light for Nvidia's powerful H200 chips to be ​sold in China but sources have said that shipments have been stymied by disagreements ‌over the terms of the sales both in China and the U.S.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Chief Executive Jensen Huang used a brief remark to reinforce the company's positioning in artificial intelligence, saying, Not one company can match Nvidia's performance per dollar, during a recent podcast discussion.

Nvidia framed the comment around total cost of ownership, or TCO, which includes hardware, power, cooling and software costs rather than just chip pricing. Nvidia indicated its systems may deliver higher AI output per dollar when these factors are considered.

Lordly13:


You searched, you saw, you deny.

1. Why would China (the top chip producing nations according to you) Plead with USA (the top 5 chip producing Nation according to you) to allow them to buy chips from them.

You don see top 1 producer dey ever beg top 5 producers before

2. Why would Chinese Car Makers buy their chips majorly from European company and NOT FROM CHINESE CHIP COMPANIES.

Top 1 country car makers no gree buy from their own country abi
