OGD was a governor in Ogun state for eight years but we can hardly point to any capital project he did.

Nigeria is the most populous Black nation on the planet and it's no surprise that such a country has produced exceptionally talented people who have made names for themselves in different spheres of life. Be it in business, politics, academia, sports and entertainment.

These individuals have left their mark in their respective fields and history is replete with their accomplishments. But which one of these personalities has achieved the highest of recognition? The one whose name is mentioned even in the most remote of lands. Who is the most famous Nigerian of all time?

You can mention other names not available in the poll.

Dangote no doubt

Hello Niralanders, as you chase your dreams abroad, don't forget the people and place that made you. Home is where the heart is, and it's the friends and family that make it truly special. Don't let comfort and distance make you forget where you came from. One day, you'll be old and ready to come back home, but if you've lost touch with loved ones, you'll be left with empty memories. Hold on to home, and the people who truly care about you 🌍.

Growing up, I thought I was just a sickly child. I was always in and out of the hospital, always taking medication daily. Whenever I asked why, I was told, “It’s to keep you strong.” I believed them.

At 13, during a routine clinic visit, I overheard two nurses whispering. One said, “That’s the girl born with it.” Born with what?

That sentence wouldn’t leave my mind. That night, I searched through my mother’s drawer and found my hospital file. I saw it clearly written: HIV Positive.

I froze.

Not because I thought I would die immediately, but because everyone seemed to know something about my life that I didn’t. I confronted my mother. She cried. She said she didn’t know how to tell me. She said she was trying to protect me.

Maybe she meant well.

But silence didn’t feel like protection. It felt like loneliness. For years, I swallowed my medication quietly. I avoided deep friendships. I kept people at a distance. I was more afraid of stigma than the virus itself.

Everything changed when I met other young people like me at a support group for students, entrepreneurs, dreamers living boldly. That was when I understood something important:

HIV may be in my blood, but it does not define my future. Today, I take my medication confidently. I live fully. I speak without shame.

Being born with HIV is not a death sentence. But stigma can be.

Nairaland family, if you were in my mother’s shoes, would you have chosen silence or honest conversation? Maybe it’s time we start changing how we talk about children born with HIV.

You should have been told earlier. She went about it the wrong way

That would have prepared you on how to live n relate with others

I’ve noticed that almost all the POS merchants in my area always have mint ₦200, ₦500, and even ₦100 notes. Yet, I’ve tried several times to get mint notes myself, especially for important occasions, but they’re nowhere to be found.

Now, POS merchants are charging as much as 35% of your money just to give you mint notes.

Imagine paying ₦20,000 just to get ₦50,000 in mint ₦200 notes.

Why is this currency so easily available to POS merchants but so difficult for ordinary Nigerians to access?

With the death to ATM machines, they now channel the mints towards POS guys

Which is more reliable in 2026: OPay, PalmPay or Moniepoint? In terms of customer support, transactions and fund reversals?


I’m trying to decide on the best fintech app to use more consistently this year in Nigeria. I’ve been leaning towards PalmPay because of the free transfers and it’s been really convenient not worrying about fees for everyday payments.
I’m also curious about their savings feature. Has anyone here used it? How reliable is it and are the returns worth it? Would love to hear what people recommend and any real experiences

None of the above

I don't do biz with anyone using such acct

Good health is key

If you lack it, you can lose all your asset.

I'm kinda confused. I just turned 26.

There's this 18 year old daughter of our family friend. She's decent and studying nursing.

I'm thinking of doing introduction for her before traveling so as to keep her from whoring about ( yeah,I know I said she's decent but people do change) and make her wait for me .

Also, if I decide to let her be for now, I don't want a situation whereby when I come back she would be really interested in getting married to me because I live abroad.

P.S she doesn't know I have plans to travel yet.

Don't

At 18...she is still trying to explore n understand herself. It will be difficult to monitor a 18yr old girl still in school from abroad. You can't cage her with introduction

This is absolute bullshit. She's trying to save face. She's not even apologetic. It's time to cancel her. It's already been confirmed that she's a pedo.

Nothing to apologise for

Unfortunately, you can't cancel her. Her music is beyond Nigeria

Today a friend chatted me up and was seeking for advice if it's okay to sell 2 plots of land from the 4 he inherited from his father..
I told him not to sell it cos he is barely 30 and still have a long way to go..

It occured to me that I actually inherited nothing 😂
Everything I have ,
I've worked so hard for it.
.I wondered would my life have been easier if I was left with anything?

Cos we did not rely on their properties same way they left their father's properties to create theirs

Imagine leaving properties in the village in Nigeria for children that have japa abroad for over 20yrs. They have never been to the village in their lifetime

A Nigerian nurse has recounted an emotional experience from 2016 involving renowned cleric David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, revealing how the encounter nearly shook his faith and commitment to church attendance.

The man, identified on social media platform X as @Nrs_Danie, narrated that he had struggled for years to secure admission into the Lagos State School of Nursing, succeeding only after his fourth attempt. However, his joy was short-lived as he lacked the ₦230,000 required to pay tuition, with school authorities giving him just one month before forfeiting the admission. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to his account, he and his mother, who lived in Abule Egba area of Lagos, left home as early as 5 a.m. to travel to Sango Ota, Ogun State, where the church headquarters is located, hoping to seek financial assistance from the cleric.

He explained that they had been active members of the church for about three years, participating in services, prayers, and fasting programmes, which strengthened their belief that they might receive support.

They reportedly positioned themselves along the route where the bishop would pass before his morning service, waiting for an opportunity to speak with him.

When the cleric eventually arrived, the man said he and his mother rushed forward to plead for help but were stopped by security personnel.

He claimed that the bishop responded by advising them to apply for a bursary from the Lagos State Government instead.

The response, he said, left him devastated, considering the emotional and physical effort it took to gain admission after several attempts.

The nurse admitted that the incident affected him deeply and almost caused him to question his faith in God. However, he later came to the realization that religious leaders are human and that faith should be centered on God rather than individuals.

He emphasized that leaving church because of a pastor’s action would mean one’s faith was misplaced.

Despite the disappointment, he eventually completed his nursing education without financial assistance from the cleric and now works abroad as a nurse.

Reflecting on his journey, he said the experience strengthened his belief that personal faith and determination are more important than reliance on any religious figure.

The story already made him look bad

No point sharing the story n saying you don't want him to look bad. That's hypocrisy on your path

2. Its not written anywhere that Oyedepo is bond to provide for your family's needs
