Family › Re: Women Taking All The Job Available by essentialone1: 11:21am On Sep 25
A lot of people prefer having a girl as a sales person, but personally, I prefer a guy.

I find it easier to communicate with guys when its work or hustle related, and from my experience, they tend to move faster and give me fewer excuses.

Since this guy started working with me, many sales girls have come and gone. It’s either their father or mother says they are going to the village, they have stomach pain, their boyfriend says they should stop working, or the work is too stressful. 😂

And of course, because it’s a girl, I have to understand before story fit come out oooo. 😂

One even told me she wanted a job where she could resume by 12pm and close by 3pm. 😂 I told her to go and teach at an evening school, but she said she didn’t want to teach.

And the funny thing is, none of them left because I was a bad boss or because I didn’t pay well.

I just wasn’t lucky with sales girls.

The day I decided to try a sales boy, I rested small. 😂 I like people who are active, ready to work and don’t need plenty convincing before doing what needs to be done. And i pray he doesn’t change ooo because no one is perfect.

At the end of the day, everybody has different experiences, but this one is mine

UAC of Nigeria PLC (UACN) has entered into an agreement to sell its entire *43% shareholding in DP World Logistics Limited (formerly MDS Logistics Limited)* to *22 Plus Invest Limited, a member of Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group*, subject to requisite regulatory approval.

Quote from *Fola Aiyesimoju, GMD of UACN:* _"UAC has worked closely with DP World's management to support the significant growth and expansion of the Company over the years. We believe TGI, following completion of the proposed transaction, will be a strong long-term partner for DP World, its management and employees..."_

Quote from *Farouk Gumel, Vice Chairman of TGI Group:* _"This proposed acquisition and partnership with DP World reflects our shared ambition to reshape the future of trade and logistics in Africa... we are building resilient supply chains that will unlock growth..."_

Signed by *Ayomipo Wey, Company Secretary / Group General Counsel.*

*What it means strategically:*

1. UACN exits logistics completely and becomes pure-play consumer: Packaged Food & Beverages (Gala, Funtime), Paints (CAP), Animal Feeds, Quick Service Restaurants, plus its stake in UPDC.
2. TGI (CORMART, WACOT, Chi Farms etc) adds a Tier-1 FMCG logistics asset to its portfolio, aligning with its distribution-heavy model across Nigeria.

YOU gerrit grin
You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done.


Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away
And knowin' what to keep
'Cause every hand's a winner
And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep".

*Regency Alliance Insurance pays N2.099bn claims in 8 months*

Between Jan 1 - Aug 31, 2026, Regency Alliance Insurance Plc paid *N2.099 billion* in claims.

*Breakdown:*
- *Aviation:* N634.9m
- *Oil & Gas:* N240m
- *Others (Motor, Fire, General Accident, Marine):* N1.224bn

The company said this shows its commitment to standing by policyholders when losses happen, and that paying claims quickly is the real test of an insurer's reliability - not just selling policies.

This is happening as Nigeria's insurance sector is undergoing reforms to build trust and increase insurance penetration.
Romance › Re: Signs To Know You Are Dating A Womanizer by essentialone1: 11:26am On Sep 24
Evaress:
My sister, open your eyes. If your man is doing these ones, he is not a boyfriend, he is the Public Relations Officer for all women.

1. His phone is always on DND.
His phone is always face-down, on silent, on airplane mode, inside pocket, inside freezer. You can never see his screen. If you mistakenly touch his phone, he will jump like NEPA just bring light.

2. He has plenty female "besties" and "cousins".
Every girl is "just my friend," "na my sister," "na my cousin from my mother side." Oga has more sisters than Mary Slessor.

3. He is too sweet with words.
He sabi sweet talk pass Kilishi seller. "You are different," "I have never felt like this before" — sister, he has told 17 girls that same line this week.

4. He never posts you, but he is always online.
He can post his food, his shoes, his dog, his POS business, but he can never post you. Yet he is viewing all the big ikebe girls on Instagram story by 2am.

5. He is always busy on weekends.
Monday to Friday he loves you. Saturday and Sunday — "Babe I dey busy, I get family meeting." Family meeting every weekend? Na lie.

6. Different perfumes.
You will start perceiving different female perfumes on his shirt. He will say na his female colleague hug am. Sister, how many colleagues dey hug am per day?

7. He doesn't want to define the relationship.
If you ask "What are we?" he will say "Why you dey rush? Let things flow." Yes, things are flowing — flowing to 5 other girls.

8. His exes are still calling.
His phone will ring, "My ex just dey disturb me, I don block am." But every day ex dey disturb. You be INEC office?

9. He compliments every woman.
He will tell you your friend is fine, your sister is hot, even your mother looks young. Oga eye no dey rest.

My sister, na womanizer you dey date. Pack your slippers and run before he adds you to his WhatsApp broadcast list.
You don kill me 😂😂😂

"Public Relations Officer for all women" — you wicked!

Sister you forget two more:

*10. His Instagram password is longer than JAMB registration number.*
Face ID, fingerprint, pattern, pin, eye scan. FBI never secure White House like that.

*11. He always has emergency.*
"My friend get accident" every weekend. Na your boyfriend be Red Cross?

Make I do *MAN version* too? Because some sisters too na CEO of Boys Fellowship.

Your anger stems from the fact that women don't like you, and you probably don't get the poosy you so much crave. That's the main reason for your anger... I'm being honest because I've studied these kind of behaviors.

wirinet:
I never knew military training included hunger training or fasting. Even during a war. I never knew troops are starved on the battlefield. I had thought they say Biafra lost the war due to hunger.

Anyway, I support all Nigerian youths between the ages of 18 to 25 undergoing compulsory military training, including the use of arms. The NYSC scheme should include one year military training. (Not hunger training o).
Very true. But military drills have been scrapped from NYSC Camps. To be replaced by only Skills Acquisition Training

Politics › Re: Every Nigerian Should Get Military Training To Understand What Hunger Is - Musa by essentialone1: 4:16am On Sep 24
Minister of Defence, *Gen. Christopher Musa (retd.)* spoke on the *African Leadership Podcast with Ken Giami*.

His exact words:

> "Every Nigerian should be able to go through military training. It will give you a different perspective about life. You will now understand what it means to stay hungry and what it means to work in days without sleep. It will show you what endurance means when you walk kilometres and you are tired but you still need to keep on going."

He said it's not a formal policy proposal, but his personal wish — that experiencing hunger, exhaustion, sleep deprivation and long treks would help civilians appreciate the sacrifices soldiers make daily.

He also added: "That's exactly what the military men are doing, putting their lives at stake for their country to move around" and said it's painful when people insult the military without understanding that soldiers are "fathers, brothers, sisters" who leave families behind in rain, dust, day and night to secure the country.

So it's a suggestion about discipline and empathy for the Armed Forces, not that conscription is starting.

Politics › Re: No Igbo Will Be President Of Nigeria, Obi A Ritualist - Policeman In Viral Leak by essentialone1: 12:41pm On Sep 23
This video circulating is a clear case of ethnic prejudice and political hate speech from someone in uniform.

What the officer is saying in summary:

- That Peter Obi, because he is Igbo, should never be allowed to be President, regardless of votes.
- That Igbo votes are "useless", that Obi should be pushed to 5th position, and that power should remain with older candidates like Atiku and Tinubu.
- He uses abusive language, insults, and stereotypes - calling Obi a small boy, criminal, fraudster, and saying Aso Rock will become a Yahoo office.
- He claims it's a "tradition" that an Igbo person cannot be President or even Vice President.

*Why this is serious:*

1. *As a Police Officer:* The Nigeria Police is supposed to be non-partisan and to protect all Nigerians regardless of ethnicity. This statement violates the Police Code of Conduct, the Electoral Act on partisan conduct by security agencies, and Section 42 of the 1999 Constitution on freedom from discrimination.

2. *Ethnic incitement:* Saying "Igbo man can never be President" is direct ethnic discrimination and can fuel inter-ethnic tension.

3. *If verified, it would be grounds for disciplinary action:* The Force Headquarters has dismissed and sanctioned officers before for similar partisan viral videos.
Business › Re: Dangote, Marketers Cut Petrol Prices As Crude Falls by essentialone1: 12:36pm On Sep 23
Petrol price has dropped slightly at the depot - here's the summary:

*Why:* Brent crude fell below $100 (now $99.77), WTI dropped to $91.17. Last week Brent was $109.

*Lagos depot cuts:*
- Dangote Refinery: N1,350 → *N1,325* (-N25)
- Ascon, Integrated, Pinnacle, Sahara: -N24 to *N1,326 - N1,327*
- MRS: -N20 to *N1,332*
- Wosbab: *N1,330*

*Other locations:*
- *Port Harcourt:* Masters N1,328 (-N2), Stockgap N1,323 (-N7)
- *Calabar:* Mainland lowest at N1,320 (-N7), Alkanes N1,325
- *Warri:* Mostly small cuts to ~N1,327 - N1,329. Matrix & Optima increased slightly to N1,330/N1,328

*Diesel (AGO) also dropped:*
- Lagos: Chipet N1,815 (-N15), others around N1,815 - N1,860
- PH: Masters N1,900 (-N35)
- Warri: Matrix N2,000 (-N50)

*For you at the pump:* The depot price drop hasn't reached the pump yet. Retail is still *N1,370 - N1,450* depending on location and transportation. It should drop slightly if crude stays low and FX remains stable.

This is the wholesale price — what marketers buy at the depot, not what you will buy at the filling station.
