Nigeria's numbers is very low considering the population

eagleu:
Only in Nigeria do you spend time bragging about empty landmass.
Everything works upside down here.
Don't forget that the Sahara can accommodate the whole USA and China put together. Yet it's a desert. In Nigeria, it will be landmass for bragging rights and revenue allocation.

I don't see anybody bragging here, they are just saying the place is big, which is a fact.

Almunjid:
The meaning of life unfolds on two levels: a primary (spiritual) meaning and a secondary (practical or logical) meaning. The primary meaning is deeply spiritual and often eludes full understanding without faith or transcendence, as philosophies and religions alike suggest that the ultimate purpose of existence is rooted in something beyond our material experience.

For the secondary meaning, imagine the sun—swimming around the earth for billions of years, enduring without ever questioning its purpose. At some point, the sun wonders: "What is the reason for my existence?" It sees other celestial bodies, stars and moons, performing their own cosmic dances. What the sun doesn’t realize is that its very presence—providing light and warmth—is the foundation for life on earth. Without it, the world would be cold and dark, devoid of living things.

Each of us is like the sun. We possess a gift or potential needed to nourish humanity. The key is to recognize this potential and use it for personal fulfillment and the welfare of others. By contributing our abilities to the world, we fulfill our unique mission in life. As nature replenishes itself, new beings (human and non-human) arise to carry forth new missions after each life passes, continuing the cycle. Consider the humble plant: it may perceive its existence as mundane, yet its production of oxygen is absolutely essential for all living creatures, while humans reciprocate by producing the carbon dioxide plants require.

Many people wonder why life may appear meaningless. Often, it is because they have not yet discovered their own gifts or contributions. Without awareness of one's potential, life can feel empty. But when someone identifies their unique capability—whether it’s inventing, teaching, caring, or creating—it imbues life with significance and aligns individual actions with the broader needs of humanity. This understanding transforms existence from mere survival into meaningful participation within the human story.

If a person has found and used their gifts to enrich themselves and society, their life is not meaningless. For those who have not, it is essential to "know yourself first." Self-discovery is the gateway to uncovering life’s purpose and meaning. The spiritual meaning is more profound and becomes clearer when combined with the logical search for meaning—eventually, one perceives both sides of existence.

From the spiritual perspective, many faiths (including Islam, Christianity, and others), advocate that life was created with intention. Only the Creator can reveal the ultimate purpose, yet each human is entrusted with fulfilling a part of this greater purpose. As the Qur’an says:

“Did you then think that We created you (mankind) without purpose, and that you would never be returned to Us?” (Qur’an 23:115).

Just as humans create tools like artificial intelligence with intentional purposes, it is unlikely God or nature created humankind “for nothing.” Each of us carries a mission; by discovering and fulfilling it, we contribute to the fabric of existence itself.


Peace!

it's a made up story to make humans feel better about themselves

Mariangeles:
It's the little something wives saved for themselves from upkeep money (back in the day).


Yes, women support, but they still want to feel taken care of by their men.
See ehn, a woman can have all the money in the world, but her husband's money is still sweet in a different kind of way.

well, if the man has enough, that shouldn't be a problem

Mariangeles:
So, what about apiriko?

You "men" of this generation keep lowering the bar.

what is apiroko?
Don't you see the situation of the country? One man can't do this alone anymore. Besides, the older generations pretending men supplied everything for the family was just propaganda. Women go to the market, buy and sell things, when coming back they buy food stuff. Men of earlier generations were worse than us, the highest they did was give the woman yam and small money, the woman go to the bush to fetch firewood, vegetables etc. In most cases she already had palm oil and akpu etc. Now men are expected to provide gas money and everything else.

Geh Geh speaks from his experience and makes sense in a few areas especially on investment, etc. He has some very broad generalizations that are very detrimental to a healthy relationship or marriage.

abegi. Anytime I see his video he's talking about doggy and toto. Which financial advice? Who in this world didn't know already that land is a good asset to buy?

As a woman you should have your own money to add to whatever your husband gives you to use for cooking abi no be two of una go eat the food?

I agree with number. I don't know why the geh geh has become popular. He doesn't say anything sensible. All he talks about is sex. As for that women paying dowry, I've always held that opinion. Women should be the ones kneeling to propose as well. There's no way on I'm kneeling to propose to woman

Na so e easy to buy Benz from yahoo? Do you know the number of yahoo boys that can't even buy sub and are squatting with friends?

Take matter to village for what? So you can be a laughing stock? Wait till the baby is born and do DNA test without informing your wife(so she won't collude with the doctor). Just ask doctor what sample you need to collect from the baby

She changed when I brought her to Lagos she was never like this when I met her because I met her when she was still schooling

ZombieDredd:
it is appointed unto men once to die, and after that judgement by God almighty who created you in the first place.
Hebrews 9:27-28.

you do not live in a continous loop and will give account of every thing you have done or spoken on earth one day.

Bible and Quran were written by warlords and terrorists who wanted to keep their subjects hopeful, docile and well behaved

What are the goats, lizard, banana, lions sharks here for? You are here to live for a few years and die. Nothing else. It's cowardice that makes people event stories of living after you die. Do goats continue to live after they die too?

You are advertising software development but your website barely loads.

Because money has no value on its own. It's just a representation of your valuable assets.
You will normally hear printing money leads to inflation but why will printing money lead to inflation? I will try to answer it.

Money on its own is just paper or numbers on a computer. The real value lies in what you have that your people and people in other countries want. If everything you as a country have (gold, oil, food, rare earth, entertainment etc) that other countries and your people want is worth 100bn dollars, you can print only 100bn Naira to match it and your Naira will be worth around 1 dollar to 1 Naira. If you decide to print another 100bn without increasing the valuables you already have, you will end up having 200bn Naira notes representing the valuables you have that's worth only 100bn dollars thereby reducing the value of your currency to 2 Naira for 1 dollar and so on. If you decide to print 1trn Naira your Naira will be worth 10 Naira to a dollar. This is obviously just illustration. The real economics is more complex but this is the whole baseline and idea behind it.

That can only happen with a white woman. Never in Nigeria will this happen. Na for movies we dey see am.

not true. My brother married a girl that's way richer than him. In fact he was at the verge of returning to the village before he met her. She helped him with almost everything and they're even abroad now sef with their children. He's not even handsome or educated, me that I'm super handsome and educated I'm here feeding one mbeke who is basically good for nothing. I don't know if I'm actually rettarrdedd or under a spell

I believe you will have to be working in a good place, even if the salary is not big but when they ask you what do you do for a living, you will have something to say and it should sound good to the ear. You should also dress well. I'm certain those are more than enough if you find such a girl and she likes you. Her family will not be a problem

What do you expect when Trump talk to world leaders anyhow as if he is talking to his house helps. In fact you shouldn't talk to your house in such manner. Yes we know you are the president of USA, yes we know USA is powerful but it still doesn't mean you should be denigrating everyone for no reason. World leaders should learn to start ignoring him

Softmirror:
Nigeria and Nigerians have been living a superficial prosperity. Welcome to reality that has made a reconfiguration of levels. If you are left out today, doesn't mean you should lose hope.

I hope you know that Airlines are not complaining of empty seats.

I think you are suffering from Stockholm syndrome.

Softmirror:
This administration exposed people who have been living a fake life claiming wealthy.

people living basic life is not fake life. Do you know that an average senior lecturer will not be able to afford flight to go to another state? Even doctors on average will not be able to afford that. Would you say it's fake life for a doctor trying to fly from Lagos to Abuja? Or a lecturer trying to do the same? Which other country will a doctor not be able to afford basic flight within the country?

Why do these former footballers, actors, singers always feel entitled, acting like they are better than everyone else? When you were playing football, did they not pay you? Did they not give you the exposure to be seen by football clubs so you could be signed and make more money? So because you played football once we're all supposed to put our lives on hold to start worshipping you? Do you know the number of people dying in this country daily? What's special about that guy that we should care about him in particular?

It made sense until you mentioned 1950 any doctor who ordered a test in 1950 would be dead by now or so decrepit and frail that he wouldn't be able to stand up or see or recognize anyone

Depriest2020:
All medical personnels, Journalist, Cab drivers, rescue operators/Ambulance 🚑 service personnels, Teachers and professors are all Hamas members in disguise.

that's probably because Hamas is the authority in Gaza, they are literally the elected government there so what do you expect? It's not like they are some ISIS or Boko Haram or something

Lol who's supposed to believe this?

Which girls eat a lot normally?


Girls dey chop reach men?


Only greedy fellas go to people house and eat half their food...

haa girls dey eat oo. I know boys sabi eat too but I don't get many male visitors that would eat at my house. Highest na to drink alcohol together

Therock5555:
Bros you're taking rubbish from those fellas...

Na your house, serve them yourself, don't go and give someone ownership to your kitchen and food, trust me, it's very dangerous....

food no be anything bro. Let the hungry eat. I also noticed something, most Nigerian girls have stomach ulcer

Therock5555:
Thank God this is abroad, I simply excuse myself and walk to the waiter, I form him that the lady would sort herself out, before I japa...



If na Naija, normal girl would be too frightened to order this much but if she does, make she carry extra clothes sha cause na there she go dey work as cleaner for the next 6 months...

girls eat a lot normally. Tell a girl to cook for you and go out, she will half the pot

I will pay for the food and leave her there while she's still feasting. The main reason being that I'm shy, sitting on such a table will make me die from shame. Girls eat a lot normally. All the girls that have ever visited me eat at least twice the amount of food I would eat

How many of us had pilots as father? No be only vision. I would've been impressed if he were an orphan or the son of a loafer

Good day my fellow Nairalanders.......I guess you guys are doing great? . Well,life has been somehow good and I believe in the process of hustle and the fact that it'll definitely yield good results so long a hustler don't give up....

Today being Tuesday will mark it two weeks since I started my new business and I must say though it hasn't been easy but I can confidently say I prefer it to what I was experiencing all the years of being a Keke rider....I mean,in terms of the peace of mind,no more insults from passengers with incurable anger issues and no more emotional trauma at all . I must really say I'm thankful to God for all of that.......

But then again, something just happened yesterday,that was Monday.....I came across my pastor's wife........To be honest,it's over a month since I stopped attending church . My reason for stopping isn't far fetched.........There was a time when I was financially down and I needed money to sort out some issues...... Before now,I used to be very consistent in every single activity going on in the church....But what really broke my heart was when I met with my pastor's wife and told her if I could get any help from the church,with a promise to pay back in two weeks time......She didn't say NO to me but promised to help,but I will have to be more focused on the activities going on in the church......So that was how I started attending every midweek activity...I even joined the evangelism team that went out to win souls for Christ .....I even almost joined the church choir . I even partook in the sanitation department of the church, hoping that my request would be granted........

Unfortunately,my request was never granted.......The one that even broke my heart the most was whenever I tried to confront my pastor's wife,she always did everything possible to avoid me . That was when I realized I was being used and would never get any help from the church........

So I stopped going to church,and seeked for help from somewhere else and fortunately,that was when and where my breakthrough came from....

Now,my pastor's wife saw me yesterday and was asking me why I haven't been to church for the passed one month....I couldn't hold my anger but had to tell her the reason why I stopped...I told her if I can't and couldn't get help from the same church which I had been worshipping in,then what's the essence of going to church......She tried to compel me by preaching more verses from the Bible but it seemed the more she was opening her mouth to do that,the more my anger kept increasing 😡😡. After trying so hard to re-colonize me but all her efforts seemed to be to no avail,she had to depart shamefully

So, house,did I do wrong by wanting help from my father's house? Or did i do wrong by turning her down?

Mynd44 Dominique nlfpmo.d obembet.....

you did nothing wrong. You gain nothing by going to church. The only people gaining are pastors and some of the choir people

If u don't have to spend mind ur prick and keep it in ur trousers,

meaning if I have to spend I don't have to mind my prick. I can decide to marry 12 wives like my grandfather and have extra concubines outside
