I see. Nice.

kowalsky:
There are MANY of such hotels in Abuja

Can you share a link? Just one not too far away to the city centre. Maybe I've been wasting money.

DeOTR:
They exist.

Can you share a link?

RedPhoenix:

Wetin dey worry this one?

We know pple like you... Forming gang president.

fredopareto:
dey cope urself...we no ur type

Y'all should please calm down. The OP was talking about a lodge/guesthouse and not a hotel. I've never been to Ibadan and I doubt if there's a decent hotel room for 10k in Lagos/Abuja. So permit me to express my surprise. Thanks.

Lol... 10k per night? Such cheap hotels really exist?

OK. The OP was talking about a lodge/guesthouse and not a hotel. I've never been to Ibadan and I really doubt if there's a decent hotel room for 10k in Lagos/Abuja. Thus the reason for my surprise.

Lol... so much hate here. I don't hate any of my teachers. I'd like to believe they did all they did for me to turn out good. Even if that wasn't the case, that believe gives me peace of mind. It's not easy to be a teacher. A student will hate you for punishing them but will still love their parents who used to hit them with all sorts of objects. The truth is, if you aren't someone's parent, it's extremely hard proving you're hitting/punishing them out of love and not hate.

The Kevin guy might have turned out great cause he was trying to prove a point all thanks to the teacher who challenged him as a kid. But here he is cursing the same teacher. I read through his writeup and I didn't see any proof that he was mistreated. I only saw claimes that some parents gave him (the teacher) money (it's natural for one to believe others are treated better cause the authority receives favour from them but do African parents really give teachers money to pet their kids?) and that he was probably sleeping with the matron (this was an assumption and even if it was true, his business does not count here). I also read that he (the writer) was hit for greeting in a certain way; a very normal thing in many schools. While many teachers tend to have favourites (everyone has, it's just not OK to make it obvious), it's also common for the academically poor students to believe they are being maltreated even when that's not the case.

It's understandable if he had these grudges as a kid but as an adult who has experienced life, I'm afraid such level of hatred is unhealthy even for him. His friends and family should be careful around him cause his kind can take grudges to the grave. And that makes me wonder if he really turned out great as he claimed cause a truly fulfilled and happy man wouldn't be preoccupied by such things at this point.

Just my take.

One wicked landlord is about to lose his building without compensations

Please, don't delight in others' loss. The privileged aren't necessarily responsible for the misery of the less privileged.

Bonsoir, comment allez-vous

Bonsoir chérie. Je vais bien, merci. Et vous, vous allez bien ?

Making friends here is really a big deal.... more than a year and I still don't have a single friend. It's every aboki with his kettle.

Lol... I think the lockdown didn't make things any easier. Work from might seem less stressful but definitely not fun especially for single folks. You just have to stay open minded and get involved in the activities around you as much as possible.

Biglittlelois:
No you shouldn't be worried, your comments are always different from what is expected from a typical nl male, so it gets me confused

And no, I didn't assume you are someone else

Good evening.

Oh... yeah, good evening (time difference).

Well, I only try to be logical. I don't think it's easy to be a man too. I just wish everyone would appreciate the fact that each gender has their own challenges and none is necessarily better off.

Realadey:
why please?

Why they'd take the license? An individual is expected to have only one of such ID's.

Please, add that your Nigerian driver's license will be taken from you and also give them tips on how to make friends. This is not Nigeria, the mind-your-business here is on another level.

Nice one.

Biglittlelois:
Sometimes, you come off as a female to me

Are you married?

@bolded: should I be worried?

No, I'm not married.

I'm not one of the popular ones so I'm almost certain you're mistaken me for another person.

Good morning.

Honestly, to be a woman is not easy.

Vanzcharles:
Not at all.. Its not lucrative

I see.

LeeSantos:
Lol. My ears have seen my eyes oh.
Will the proceeds from sales be enough to pay house rent, feed the family n so on?

So it's not a good thing?

Myself2:
I agree with you bro. Very rational point.
Or will they still tell us that persons with six fingers are rare people

Well, technically, such persons are relatively rare but not necessarily strange. But I get your point, nature isn't consistent. It has never been. Not even the concept of day and night is. That's why I marvel at the expectation of Africans that everyone must be straight. That's not natural.

And to make her point, she took a cameraman to the sea shore for a photoshoot instead of simply turning into a fish? Lol

Since they are spirits, why do they need to be in form of a fish to survive in water?

daviesmania:
guys were more involved in physical activities back then especially sports... But now ehn!! Na so so smoking every corner

I don't smoke. I don't have anything against people that smoke. I'm only saying it's not everyone that's into football and the likes. So your post is kinda narrow. But like I said, your point is clear nevertheless: people are losing focus. Familiarize yourself with the concept of micro society where you push for the overall wellbeing of your your street, state or country but only involve yourself with the happenings in the lives of your friends and family.

Lol... you're probably trying to make a point but your presentation is funny. So what was the fate of those not into football back then?

I'm not pro splitting and this, right here, is the reason. Regardless of how you split, there'll always be a tendency to divide even further. Regions, tribes, states, local governments, etc. Where do you intend to draw the line?

Now doing porn too? Lol... people are tired of passing through this life without being noticed. Everyone is striving to be different.

Abukia404:
Do these ladies have family they fear or respect while doing all of these?

Before we jump into dragging the ladies as usual, does the guy himself have a family he fears or respects? It's obvious they are all of the same caliber seeking the same thing.

South east is the real Zoo, look at abia stinking like soakaway, look at anambra, erosion cursed state, look at enugu dirty like dustbin, look at imo and eboyi...dey are trying small small sha thank God to APC in d state

I wonder why a non politician would have this level of political affiliation in a country where the political parties don't have distinct ideologies.

Lol... those who don't like her are the source of her fame.

Acme45:
now on the ground of age falsification by the woman who was joined in a statutory law and if the man files for divorce will the man still pay the woman?

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to answer such legal questions straight away without a good argument and counter argument. Each case is unique and the law is garnished with several exceptions. I am, therefore, sorry for this long answer. First, we need to understand that even though family law differs from a region to another, the law doesn't really say the man should pay the woman when a couple gets a divorce. However, money is usually transferred from one partner to another in the form of alimony or child support. I don't think I need to talk much about the need for child support so I'd just concentrate on alimony aka spousal support. (Note that the word "alimony" may be replaced with "maintenance support" in Nigeria but the principles are generally the same).

In countries where alimony applies, it defined as the sum of money paid either in bulk or over a period by one partner to the other depending on who is wealthier or earns more. However, it’s true that in a majority of cases, the man is always richer and that means the man sends money to the wife. This is because of the stereotypical gender gap that prevents women from being as career driven as man (the idea that women should leave their jobs and move to the man's location after marriage or the idea that a woman shouldn't have a job that wouldn't give her enough time to take care of the home or the idea that a woman is better off in the kitchen/the other room, etc.). The aim here is just to limit any unfair economic effects of a divorce by providing support equivalent to the time invested in the marriage. Many factors determine if and how much alimony needs to be paid. Such factors include: length of marriage, age/health of the receiving spouse, financial status of the payer, status of the recipient before divorce, other peculiarities of the case (court's discretion), etc.

This therefore suggests that paying alimony or how much of it to pay depends, to a great extent, on the circumstances surrounding the case as well as the lawyer's skill. Yes, a good lawyer might be able to use age forgery, infidelity (rarely), etc. to reduce alimony but that's not always the case cause such factors can't be handle in isolation, it must be considered alongside other factors. For example, was it love that made her forge her age? If you the man knew her age, would he have allowed her to work like him instead of doing a petty job in order to take care of the home? Does the fake age at any point help the lady get a job that boosted her lifestyle? Did the husband at point in the marriage do anything that could have made the wife file for a divorce? How was the relationship up to the point of the man finding out the wife's age was false? How much has the wife invested in the marriage? What of the concept of manifest injustice (here in North America)? What is the psychological effect of the revelation? In fact, it's up to the lawyers to do theirs job and for the judge to decide.

Can it generate electricity

It is a transformer, it's not meant to generate electricity cause transformers do not generate electrical power. Instead, they transfer it from one AC circuit to another.

Ebenezer2021:
it's venomous

I think the venomous one is the eastern green mamba which is mostly found in the eastern and southern parts of Africa.

Lol... people have gotten used to "green snake in a green grass". Now, green snakes have changed strategy! It's now "green snake in green trousers". Updaters of English language, take note!

The snake is harmless though.
