If you are the father of this girl, What will be your reaction?
You took your 18 year old daughter to the park. She's an SS2 student in a boarding school. Immediately you dropped her at the park, you bade her farewell. Few hours later, you were informed that the bus her and her school mates boarded had an accident. No one survived the accident. You were devastated, discomforted and discombobulated.
Just as you started preparing to go and pick her corpse, your phone rings, surprisingly, it's your daughter. Joyfully, she tells you, "Daddy, I wasn't on that bus o, My boyfriend called me after you left and he asked me to spend two days with him before going to school, thank God o". If you are the father, what will be your reaction?

moral lesson

Use your creativity to do something meaningful for your life otherwise old age will mock you.

Oga stop making noise, the guy has been a fraudster fom day one....their are articles all over about him doing fraud during his student days.

If we have been arresting/punishing parents for the rubbish the children they train do (like the Bible and African cultures did in the past), we would not have the preponderance of problems we have like terrorism, kidnappers, useless politicians , yahoo, hookup girls and so on.....we support/defend rubbish to much in this country for the sake of money and fleeting fame.

How many parents of the so-called boko haram, etc have you arrested and in one swift, the government can track the family of Adeniyi...

Honestly, the joke is you.

A viral video of a corn seller claiming she earns over N2.5 million monthly has generated widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the claim while others defended the possibility, reigniting conversations around the profitability of small-scale businesses.

The short clip, shared on X by #ChuksEricE on Sunday, showed a woman asking the corn seller how much she made from the business.

Responding, the seller said, “Per month I make like 2.5 million"

It was not immediately clear whether the video was recorded as a content creation skit or a spontaneous street interview.

Nevertheless, the clip quickly went viral, attracting thousands of comments across X and Instagram.

Reacting, #okafor_nna questioned the mathematics behind the claim, writing, “2.5 million a month, she’s a joker. It means she makes like 84 thousands of profit every day… for a corn of 500 Naira, let assume u make profit of 200 Naira on every… it still doesn’t add.”

Another X user, #Nigash_ dismissed the claim, saying, “2.5m na you still be like this. You, the interviewer and who ask you make you talk this lie dey crase.”

Also expressing doubt, #DrLeguzo wrote, “That’s absolutely false. Two things: 1. She did not understand the question 2. She doesn’t know what 2.5m is. Easy nut to crack. How many corns does she sell on a given day and how much does she sell on average? Exaggeration at worst.”

Some users raised questions rather than outright dismissing the figure.

#Iamjezyg asked, “So after the corn season is over, how else is she making the sales?”

Others expressed concern that the publicity could expose the seller to security risks. #nonchallantjay wrote, “Una nogo spread am keh. When boys kidnap this lady and ask for ransom na then truth go come out.”

There were also lighter reactions. #DojaO joked, “Make first Lady Sha no see this one, abi what is all this ehn?” while #Mr_more001 commented, “Because she’s the only one selling corn. She should hide her face.”

On Instagram, reactions were similarly mixed. User #victor_kaizen_ wrote, “See the way they dressed her up well,” while #unchartteed1 suggested, “She fit get 100 branch.”

The renewed attention comes weeks after First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu urged Nigerian women to embrace low-capital businesses such as frying akara, roasting corn and producing kulikuli, describing them as sustainable ventures that could benefit from grants instead of loans.

Her remarks drew criticism from many Nigerians, who argued they downplayed the country’s economic hardship amid rising inflation, food prices and unemployment.

President Bola Tinubu later defended the comments, saying the Federal Government’s empowerment initiatives extended beyond akara sellers to include traders dealing in tomatoes, pepper, vegetables and roasted plantain. He also disclosed that the Federal Government had provided N100 million to the Jigawa State Government to empower 2,000 petty traders with N50,000 each under the Renewed Hope Initiative.

The President’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, also defended the First Lady, describing the backlash as a “performative circus of selective amnesia” and saying critics had ignored the wider interventions of the Renewed Hope Initiative in women’s empowerment, healthcare and support for vulnerable groups.

The debate has continued to spread beyond politics and social media. It recently featured in an examination at Prince Abubakar Audu University, Kogi State, where students were asked to produce an advocacy advertisement based on the First Lady’s remarks, underscoring how discussions about petty trading, economic empowerment and livelihoods remain part of Nigeria’s broader public conversation.

Wawelexy:
Rescue mission here in Nigeria shouldn't be a hard nut to crack ordinarily, considering the numbers of Intels we have with their experience and collaboration with foreign intelligence unit, but with the kind of mentality these bandits have towards killing, it will be more harder, cos they kill for no cause, any slight mistakes from the rescue squads could cost lot of lives.... So I agree with the OP about it being a hard task..

But sha, if not for politics, they would have been apprehended long ago, may God save Nigeria....

Bro... You are on point though but the bedrock is the people who benefit from these kidnappings either by cash or otherwise. There are people involved and they are not ghosts. They give the instructions and the intelligence to the terrorists on where to strike and destroy.

No group can be powerful without intelligence hence I believe that in the Nigeria case, same persons are working in the intelligence unit of both for and against. Hence, no superior intelligence to defeat our soldiers or completely wipe out wipe out the bandits.

Kdon2:
Their oga told them to release the body. They have people remotely controlling them

Gradually, our eyes dey open. You go wonder the many people they have killed and did not release their bodies to their families.

But here, ransom money Dem no collect. But yet they released the body for proper burial.

Who is fooling who.

ARISHEM:
This country is a joke. At the end they absolved the bandits and his kidnappers from his death by saying he died a natural death.
Someone that served this country meritoriously! Chai.

Thank God, you noticed it. I thought I was thinking wrong. See the way they absolved his kidnappers. How did they know he died a natural death as there was no mention of autopsy report. This means, his body has been surrendered to the family.

With this whole scenario, the obvious truth of the sponsorship if carefully observed na Dem Dem.

There has been public commentary that has portrayed the current administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s most aggressive borrower since the return to democracy in 1999, with some commentators saying it has borrowed more than all previous democratic administrations combined.

However, the available evidence does not support these conclusions. In May 2023, Nigeria’s external debt stock stood at approximately $42.5 billion when President Tinubu assumed office, and by December 2025, it had risen to approximately $51.9 billion, representing a net increase of around $9.4 billion. By contrast, Nigeria’s external debt increased from approximately $10.3 billion in 2015 to $42.9 billion by 2023, representing a net addition of about $32.6 billion during the Buhari administration.

This evidence, therefore, indicates that the largest increase in Nigeria’s external debt stock in the democratic era occurred between 2015 and 2023, and President Tinubu is not Nigeria’s largest borrower since the return to democratic rule in 1999.

Nigeria also faces a genuine fiscal challenge. Much of the apparent increase in Nigeria’s debt stock in naira terms reflects the exchange-rate revaluation of inherited foreign-currency obligations, rather than equivalent new borrowing.
It should also be noted that the most significant fiscal constraint facing Nigeria today is debt service, which absorbs a substantial proportion of government revenues. Rising debt-service obligations accumulated over many years continue to constrain fiscal space for infrastructure, healthcare, education, security, and other critical expenditures.

Nigerians should also bear in mind that external debt obligations are contracted and repaid in foreign currency, with the dollar being the denominant measurements used for comparison across administrations. Following exchange-rate unification in June 2023, the naira depreciated significantly against the US dollar. This had a substantial accounting effect on the domestic valuation of Nigeria’s external debt stock. The approximately $42.5 billion inherited by the current administration was valued at around ₦19.6 trillion under the previous exchange-rate regime. After revaluation at market exchange rates, the same stock appeared substantially larger in naira terms.

It can, however, be said that this claim of unprecedented borrowing under the current administration stems largely from the revaluation of inherited foreign-currency obligations following the June 2023 exchange-rate adjustment.

This increase did not arise because the government borrowed tens of trillions of naira in new external obligations. Rather, it shows the massive effect of applying a weaker exchange rate to an existing stock of foreign-currency debt. Comparing debt figures expressed in naira before and after exchange-rate adjustment, without controlling for these valuation effects, creates a misleading impression of debt accumulation.

The majority of the criticism surrounding Tinubu’s borrowing record has been focused on external debt, with the domestic figures adding important context. In dollar terms, domestic debt eased from about $65.6 billion in Q1 2023 (Buhari era) to $59.1 billion by end2025 (Tinubu era), a decline of roughly $6.5 billion. That sits against an increase of around $11.6 billion during the Buhari years. In adding domestic and external debt together, total public debt rose by only about $2.7 billion in dollar terms between Q1 2023 and Q4 2025, even though the naira headline rose by roughly ₦109.4 trillion over the same period. Both figures are correct, but only the dollar measure reflects actual new borrowing.

Between Q1 and Q2 2023, the naira value of external debt rose from ₦19.6 trillion (Buhari) to ₦33.2 trillion (Tinubu) with little change in dollar terms, reflecting exchange rate unification and revaluation of existing debt. In the same period, domestic debt increased from ₦30.2 trillion (Buhari) to ₦54.1 trillion (Tinubu), driven primarily by the securitisation and balance sheet recognition of ₦23.9 trillion in Ways and Means advances; previous Central Bank overdrafts accumulated under Buhari and subsequently converted into marketable government debt instruments. These movements represent accounting reclassification and stock revaluation adjustments, not incremental fiscal borrowing flows.

In conclusion, a fact-based assessment of Nigeria’s debt profile leads to one clear conclusion: the central challenge facing Nigeria today is not merely how much has been borrowed, but how inherited obligations, debt-service pressures, and limited revenues constrain the country’s development ambitions.

Is Buhari from a different party abi you dey whine. After he finished borrowing away Nigeria, the same Apc is still borrowing to claim reform. I just wonder how you guys sleep at night and leave your mouth open. Then, the next day you begin to spill trash and think we are in the stone age.
Look around you... And make comparison with just the purchasing power of the average Nigerian which is declining everyday.

Despite the large borrowing occurring in the APC regime, did it better the life of Nigerians or made it worse? our purchasing power will tell you and then shame should cover your face.

Good day my follow Nairalanders.

Everyday, life opens a new chapter of life to us. My own chapter had been opened and and it read... "it time to get married.

In the church I attended, there I met this girl so mature enough to be taken in as a wife. I approach her for the first time and I started asking her out. Seem she knew my intention, she started asking me about my church life, my family, my business and all that not.

To be honest with her, I did my best to answer every question in the language she could understand.

She seems not still satisfied with my account, she sent me this message at about 5am.
Said until I respond to those questions, she won't have anything to do with me again.

I'm truly confused on wether everyone that finds love 💕 really goes through this rigorous question.

And more about her life, she spent almost everyday in church after work. She said if I'm truly serious, I should also be as serious as she is in going and participating in all weekly activities in the church.

Please help, how do I answer this questions, since it the only options she said can bring us together?

See as you dey zuzu... Don't you have questions to ask her too. Abi does she not desire to get married some day and if so, what will be her support to her husband first and to the family. Would she rather become a full housewife and if she doesn't work and always in church, how does she bring forth the motherly touch the home needs. Nna be careful o and many more questions if no be say I wan sleep now... No let me slap you. You sharp pass like this nah.

SQLmastar:
Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.

Lucky for you that it happened before you tied the knot!!!.

Please take your time to decide calling to mind other things you may don't know about her that she has already lied to you.

Don't get fooled twice otherwise, you will regret the marriage and your life will be unbearable.

escortafrik:
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?

He is asking for the key to turn you into a sex machine without the slightest formality.... my questions

1. Are you pregnant for him right now.

2. Has he formalized anything with your people even if na low key or even just drinks and kolanut due to no funds.

3. This is not a case of he wants to marry you. Has he agreed to marry you and backed by this intention with the agreement of his people visiting yours for this only.

4. Has his people met your people or small arrangements and agreed that henceforth you are his wife based on handover of you by your father.

If not, let him do marriage cos if you carry that kpekus enter that house like that, in the next 1 year.... He will know and create ditch in every corner of that kpekus you were not aware was existing since you started using it.

I used to think no man will ever accept to take back a cheating wife. But I can count up to three women that cheated whose husbands took them back.

Whilst some people may label the men as fools, I believe the men are just being understanding, the same way we have understanding wives.

The truth is that there is something that accessible satisfactory sex does to your body system. And when it is no longer there, the body system begins to choke, if you are not disciplined enough or not receiving enough satisfactory sex from your new partner... Omo you go find the ex go if you become aware that the sex is still accessible to you.

Unless that Ex, is no longer accessible to them by reason of death or unsurmountable distance... That is the only way to move on if the sexual cravings is over bearing. This is why some men bring back cheating wife and woman go back to abusive husbands and girls still link up with their baby daddy's or married women link up with Ex's.

Anfield247:
My younger brother of 22 years attacked me this morning after taking a substance called crystal methamphetamine popularly known as ice. For the past one year now, he has been giving everybody in the house heat. Ranging from insulting people, picking money in the house, eating food that is not his own, Bullying everybody in the house, wearing clothes without washing and not even thinking of sweeping, fatching water or washing the plates in the house.
I was looking at him, hoping and believing he will change for good. But as days passes by, it's becoming worst. Yesterday, he wanted to fight our mom, I prevented him and I warned him not to even raise his voice at her again. I tried fighting him but my Mom pleaded with me not to attack him...
This morning, while I was still in bed, my elder sister called me and said my brother was trying to break the padlock to my bag so he could collect clothes from it. With my sleepy eyes and subconsciousness, I went outside just to collect my bag from him.. I dragged the bag from him, the next thing I felt was a heavy punch to my face.. That was when I realized that this was no longer a joke. I quickly responded by trying to him back. We exchanged punches and he ran away. Till now, he has not come back. He added that everybody should be ready for him.
Sometimes, I wonder if he is truly my brother. I sustained an injury on my nose from his punch. He doesn't want to change for good. Sometimes, I do ask some of his friends that take ice why is he behaving like that. They will tell me that I should look for what is wrong with him.... I feel so bad because he's my only brother

All of you are not safe as long as he is taking that ice and living with you. Don't be a novice and ignorant of his capabilities. Search the internet, there are loads of the actions that such persons have committed.

Get him to rehab before it is too late. He is a walking time-bomb!!.

I was talking to a friend recently and she opened up about something that shocked me.

She said her husband had changed… less attention, less affection, always on his phone.

At first, she thought it was just stress. But over time, the distance became obvious.

What struck me was this — nothing “big” had happened.
No fight. No major issue.
Just slow emotional and physical disconnection.

It made me realize something…
Most marriages don’t break suddenly — they fade quietly.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately, especially how attraction and effort change after marriage.

For those who are married — what do you think causes this?

It's always secrets... I can bet you on that. Financial secrets, love secrets, work secrets, ex secrets, her past secrets or even family secrets, character secrets and worst of all, lies she had told in the past and forcing him to believe.

There is no correlation my dear friend but Life is about opportunity. Pray God not to miss yours when it comes.

Nobody truly cares if you eat or don't eat. Life na per head.

I am a devout Catholic. My partner (Yoruba) knows this from day one. We had known each other for 3 years prior to dating. From the first week we started talking, I mentioned to her that I would be having a Catholic wedding. Last year I was in Vatican as part of my holiday.

We started dating earlier this year and she has been pushing marriage conversations. She is now saying our doctrines are different and she would want a Redeem wedding. That she would want me to convert to Redeem and hope I see the light( this phrase annoys me).

I told her that our family will be a Catholic first family that I don’t have a problem with her going to her church. But she is saying she would want to be taking children to her church and that her church’s doctrine are way different from Catholic and won’t want that kind of confusion.

On the wedding stuff, she later said she had a conversation with her aunt, and she suggested that we first have a Redeem wedding and afterwards we can then have a Catholic wedding with a few friends and family. She even jokingly said that we would take a year break before the white wedding (after traditional and court wedding ) and during that time if she gets pregnant she will use that to get me to wed her in her Church.

Furthermore, she says her marrying an Igbo is already a lot that she is not sure her parents will agree for her not to wed in Redeem.

My annoyance is that she knew about my church from day one. We had discussed about these kind of things several times before we started dating. So why the goal-post shifting now?

She is gradually hinting you what is about to happen. Know this and be ready, every goal post you both agreed on will be shifted further than this when the time eventually comes.

Lagos Is Pumping Itself Dry – Boreholes Are A Ticking Time Bomb

Let’s stop pretending.

Boreholes are NOT an unlimited water cheat code.

In Lagos, almost every building now has a borehole. Estates drill. Hotels drill. Churches drill. Companies drill. Everybody is pumping groundwater like it’s immortal.

Who is measuring how much we’re removing?
Who is regulating it?
Who is monitoring aquifer levels?

Nobody.

We’re extracting millions of litres daily from underground reserves that took hundreds or thousands of years to accumulate.

And we think it will never finish?

Lagos is a coastal city. What happens when:

Water tables drop significantly?
Saltwater starts entering freshwater aquifers?
Boreholes start producing salty or muddy water?
The ground begins to sink from over-extraction?
This is not theory. It has happened in:

Jakarta (serious land subsidence issues)
Cape Town (almost hit “Day Zero”)
Chennai (major water shortages)
But here in Lagos, we act like drilling deeper is the solution to everything.

Instead of demanding proper national water infrastructure, we normalized private survival mode.

The real uncomfortable question:

Are we building houses today that may not have sustainable water in 30 years?

Property developers won’t talk about it.
Government barely regulates it.
Homeowners just want water to flow today.

But groundwater doesn’t care about vibes.

So let’s debate honestly:

Should borehole drilling require stricter permits?
Should there be extraction limits?
Should government heavily invest in central water supply instead of leaving citizens to fend for themselves?
Or is this fear-mongering?
Is Lagos gradually creating its own future water crisis?

Let’s hear real opinions — no sentiment.

Don't worry yourself much. The acquifier level can drop a little but will never collapse.

Lagos is practically sitting on water and yes the city is getting populated by the day but our land structure and that of abroad is not the same and likewise our weather/atmospheric conditions.

All the rivers, streams around the 37 states in Nigeria flows somehow through Lagos and other seaside states to the Atlantic through different channels and this is seasonal and same water flows back to these states through other channels outside Nigeria. It is a path designed by Nature. It is a circle of in and out flowing so that we are not swallowed up.

It is seasonal cos sometimes, the flow could be high or low. Hence we have drought in some cases but not a complete 100%. Also the rains in addition to this protects against 100% drought.

So even if the water paths are obstructed, instead of the water being stagnant and become polluted, they follow through new parts to connect. That is why some areas get flooded and properties re damaged. The water must flow!!

We should rather be worried that some areas in Lagos does not eventually become overturned by water as such, the Govt should improve on good and effective drainage systems to channel the excess water that comes to enable them find a flowing path to their normal water paths like carnals, etc

Is that a man I’m seeing at the back or what?

I can never allow a man to get that close to me. On top what exactly? Anyway, I know they are "professionals" just like those ballet dancers, but for me personally? It can never happen!

It's two females and a male in the middle. Zoom in for confirmation. The girl at the front is wearing waist beads and same as the girl at the back, only the male in the middle is not wearing the waist beads. I had to check to be sure. Can't stand next to a naked man, how much more him go hold me like that.
