Until we see those served without collection of multiple bribes, till then.

Making promises is one thing, fulfilling it is another.

I think the yeye minister is just playing to the gallery without any hopes of fulfilling any promises.

I applied online, got a date for my capturing, went there and did my thing. The passport was delivered to my home in less a month. So I'm surprised this is being announced here now.

Vanity

Ask Herbert Wigwe

You people make extremely insensitive comments.

Trading crude oil in Naira is probably the only advantage of joining BRICS at this point. If the word used to describe its possibility is 'may', then it becomes worrisome because we might just end up boosting another country's economy while ours continues to deep.

Yes, it was about Messi's name, but guys, this isn't a football thread. This old woman was nearly abducted by HAMAS. Her grand kids were taken and she might never see them again. Making this conversation about Messi vs Ronaldo is kinda insensitive.

I wouldn't say "Nigerians" when it was just the poster and a couple of other people that supported him. I'd rather say "some people" cause many others defended her.

All of saying the figures are high, that is thier negotiation strategy. They know they won't be paid that, they just wanted a high starting point.

De cleaner is only witness who can save her unless that was a setup nd she fall fr it, first u don't rush someone when such happens, there are some transferable disease like epilepsy, first know de history to the seizure or faint...I knw Nigeria are good hearted but don't fall to such but on that if it was mob that or crowd the case won't be lik this just she took it upon her sef nd that de result

Epilepsy is not a communicable disease.

I read stories like this and I laugh. Only someone that doesn't know the law would believe a lady can just decide to send her husband packing in the UK. No woman has the right to kick you out of your home or keep your children away from you except she can prove you abused her. Men have the same right when abused by thier wives. The only reason these men leave the house when asked to do so is because they actually did something that would give the women the upper hand if the case gets to court. Otherwise, there's no circumstance under which one spouse would wake up and take it upon himself/herself to kick out the other and keep the kids. It doesn't work that way. There's no law in the UK or anywhere in the West that supports that. The two spouses have equal rights. The only reason it seems to Africans as though the women have more rights is because we're from a place where they don't have a much rights as the men.

Lol.... everyone talking about how the father is racist and all that, but many of thier parents (and even themselves) would cry to high heavens if thier child brought home a fellow black person from a different tribe let alone a white person.

It didn't say the organisation should send him to date her but act as a psychologist to her and in the course of it something happened.

These are the exact words of the story
"The Company told my colleagues friend to do like an undercover blind date..."

And I'm telling you that no company would violate a woman's privacy like this in Canada. Besides, to practice psychology in Canada, like other health care professionals, psychologists must be licensed. Licensure to practice is granted by regulatory bodies in each Canadian jurisdiction. You don't get licensed after an 8 months course. The best you can do with that is to work as a care giver or a social worker.

What is the name of the company? What is the name of the city/province where this happened? What is the name of the school where he did the course? What is the academic program called? The devil is in the details.

Holding on to the concept of 'state of origin' in Nigeria doesn't add any value. You are a native of wherever you were born.

guobe:
Ok

The story said the organization sent him to date her undercover and I'm telling you it's not realistic at all let alone in Canada. Bringing up Quora stories of erring professionals doesn't change anything. We've read about doctors who did punishable things like touching their patients inappropriately. That doesn't mean a well established hospital would send one of thier doctors to do that. So I don't see how this image adds any value to the conversation.

What is the name of the organization? Where in Canada did this happen?

I believe this is one of those interesting things that never happened. Canada is over-regulated to a point that is almost sickening. No organization would send a man to date thier client to get more information. It's a criminal act even if it's intended to help her. No type of personal relationship whatsoever is allowed between a shrink and his patient. Besides, you can't practice with an 8 months course. Such a program may give you some advantage when looking for a job as a care giver or a social worker, but no organization would send you into the field as a psychologist after an 8 month course.

Eniolohunda:
Taking one way is a criminal act, so law enforcement agencies would not do that in a saner clime. If there is emergency, the other vehicles on the road will give police vehicle way to go, not for them to follow one way.

I get what you're saying. It's called the move-over law in Ontario (a nickname for the Section 159 (2,3) of the Highway Traffic Act), and it states which states that you must make way for emergency vehicles if the siren or flashlight is on. However, sometimes, it's not possible for the other vehicle to make make way. I've seen a police car go against a one way street in Bronx, New York during a chase. The road was clear, and they had thier siren on. They do that if they judge that it's necessary to do so in order to discharge thier duty without putting other people lives at risk. This applies to all emergency vehicles including ambulances and firetrucks (and tow vehicles in Canada since 2015).

Stevenbright:
Wether the story is real or not, one lesson married women need to learn from here is that most of the things they get house helps for is what they can handle and hence protect their family from issues like this.

So it her fault for bringing a maid because the man is a dog that doesn't have control over his actions, right? You see how you guys always focus on what the women could do better whenever a man cheats. If it was a lady that did something like this, this thread would have been all about how women cannot be trusted, how they are olosho or how they'd do anything for money. But when a man cheats, the question becomes what did the woman do, why get a house help for what you can do yourself, is she nagging wife or does she dress poorly, has she gotten fatter, etc. It's always the women that need to change as if we men don't have the brain to different between what is wrong and what is right.

See how most people on this thread are pointing out how women should be working or how she shouldn't have gotten a maid or how she must have done something wrong to that's missing in the story, etc. Treating men's promiscuity with kid gloves while baring our fangs when a lady does as little as dressing a certain way is not being manly. It's boyish

Olawade24:
This worrisome, even as the government have ban gay in Nigeria. Guys are downloading grinder lowkey and doing gay prostitution.

Dont tell me how I take know?

So yesterday I decided to download the app cos I saw an article concerning south Africa and how they use grindr, to my surprise I had to download the grindr app to check something lo and behold I saw many Nigeria gays some even message me on the app that they want to book a session with me and he is ready to pay as high as 50k to burst my anus.

Tufiakwa I quickly uninstall the app in order for the abomination not to get to my head because this sapa period I know most ppl can do anything because of money.

The four guys who message me, you need to see how they gave a feminine look and all that and the four of them two were from abuja and the other two one from pH and Lagos.

Tufiakwa.

Was the gay guy attracted to a blank profile or you downloaded the app and uploaded your pictures just to check something? This is how y'all will be exposing yourselves.

BRATISLAVA:
He clearly wants odd advice if he's listening to a lab scientist. It's not surprising he's here to get some advice.

People who don't know how to keep their front teeth from protruding, people who don't even have front teeth, people who don't know what paracetamol is used for, people who are only active during political violence — such people are here giving him advice.

jikins:
Lab scientist arent doctors either. They just run tests. Taking prescription from them is just you being nonchalant with your life, What if whats causing the low testosterone is because of a tumor compressing the pituitary gland. You will just be taking steroids that will raise the testosterone levels but you are dieing small small. Finding the root cause is always the first step before commencing any treatment

Y'all are right, the normal testosterone range is extremely wide that what is considered low in one individual might be okay for another. Doctors wouldn't recommend drugs just because one's testosterone level is out of range except the patient has symptoms. I doubt it's a tumor though cause solid tumors normally come with pains when they press against body organs. They also increase B12 and leave some markers that show up in a blood test (and I'm assuming the lab person knows all this). Nevertheless, I agree with you that he should see a doctor who puts other factors into consideration. I just assumed the lab guy was part of his larger Healthcare team since lab scientists don't usually do tests unless there's a requisition from a doctor. But if he's doing the prescription himself, then he's obviously working alone, and that's risky. I'd rather take a prescription from a pharmacist than from a lab scientist.

Eniolohunda:
Of course, since they are not in emergency, they must obey law. But incase of emergency, police car have right of way over other people.

Yeah, but taking one way is a very extreme version of having the right of way cause life is involved. Police agents on duty can only take one-way in extenuating circumstances. Even at that, they must prioritize public safety. If taking one-way is the only way to reach their target but also puts other people's lives at risk, the go-to decision would be to let the target escape. Again, they'd usually have thier siren on in such cases.

BRATISLAVA:
He mentioned his laboratory scientist.

Yeah, bro. I'm saying he should follow his instructions and ignore the drugs listed above by Nairalanders. Nairalanders may have good intentions, but many of us aren't doctors and even the really knowledgeable ones may not know his current level or other conditions the OP might have or what his life goals are (for example, a large percentage of testosterone drugs inhibit sperm production and should be avoided if the patients intends to have kids). Therefore, only an expert who has seen his blood work and who had had a one-on-one with him is in a position to prescribe drugs.

Hope he gets better.

Sorry, OP. Please, don't take drug prescriptions from internet users. It's very important that you follow the instructions of your physician.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You forgot to mention the qualifications you have as a facilitator. I see you have Dr. in your name. Are you a physician or PhD holder? I suggest you let people know what qualifies you to talk to them about thier health. That will give those interested the confidence to reach out to you.

Where is the apology?

OK... Everyone has been throwing the word "restructuring" around, but I'm sure some people have different ideas of what it really means for Nigeria. As they say, the devil is in the details. The word itself simply means "to organize differently", and as such, a whole lot of things could qualify as restructuring. So instead of just saying 'restructuring,', I think we should be talking about what the new structure should be like. Otherwise, we might find ourselves in a what-we-ordered-vs-what-got situation.

Is this recent? I know politicians just say anything that serves thier interest at the moment, but FFK takes it to another level. I sometimes wonder how his friends abs family feel about his meandering attitude.

Afonja2000:
According to her, the husband ceased her phone and denied her access to her personal effects which caused a tussle between them, after which he claimed that she damaged his properties.
She is my work colleague like I said initially

Let her go with her lawyer, guilty or not. If she damaged the property cause she was trying to regain access to her items, her lawyer should be able get her out. The husband might have been the one in the wrong, but it's still a good thing he took the case to the police instead of resorting to further violence. However, you're right to think he might have bought the police over. So going with her lawyer is the ideal thing to do.

Marital laws in Nigeria are a joke.

Lol... this James guy just wants to be in the news, and he's always quick to mention Bob. I remember when he recently became popular, he was constantly attacking Bob even as the later refused to respond. He probably believes an altercation with Bob would bring him up the social ladder or he just wants thier names to be mentioned alongside each other.

Perspectives.

He did not really say anything that counters what the Peter guy said which is that even during war times, Ukraine still produces more grains than Nigeria. However, he gave important details on how the aid was channeled through the UN. In other words, Ukraine didn't directly come to Nigeria's aid. Instead, they donated to the UN humanitarian aid program. Ukraine is a large producer of grains, and though they're currently at war, they wouldn't give out thier grains if they didn't have enough for thier people. So yes, we took grains produced by a war torn Ukraine and channeled through the UN. Peter viewed it as an indication of the extremely wide gap between the grain production output of both countries such that even while at war, one is still far ahead of the other. Told viewed it from the perspective of "so should we have rejected UN humanitarian aid on the basis of the fact that Nigeria should've been better? Did you reject the aid offered by UN during your tenure?"

As a neutral person, one can clearly see that both are unto something. Yes, the Ukraine might have the favorable conditions to produce more grains than most countries, and they have a lot of grain reserves. But then again, if we were where we're supposed to be today, the war-induced reduced output from Ukraine wouldn't have been so significantly higher than our output. Otherwise, the person you stand by depends on whether you're fan of the current government or not, and that is the nature of politics. Politicians are inclined to interpret things in a way that either protects their preferred party or highlight the incompetence of the opposition.

New Nyanya or Nyanya?

Nyanya = Abuja
New Nyanya = Nasarawa

Bluffly:
Are you okay? You wrote without mentioning the Area. Is Abuja an Area

Your communication skills are worse that those of the person you're trying to correct. So you wanted to call his attention to the fact that he omitted the specific area in Abuja, and you thought it would be a great idea to start with "are you okay?"

ogil:
Abuja of all people

You mean 'of all places'?

Scamming has become so normal in Nigeria that when people read about it, they quickly blame the victims for falling victim. They aren't even calling out the scammers anymore. Triste.
