It took me some time to know the difference between these animals, especially crocodiles and alligators. In fact, I used to call it anyone that comes to mind first grin. Sometimes you have to use their habitat to identify them, but that is if you even know a lot about them...lol

Some belong to the same family, some are not in any way related, but they have somehow succeeded in confusing lots of people.

Here is my list of some commonly confused animals and basic ways to distinguish them.

That is not Near-Death Experience. It's just a brush with death. Read about Near-Death Experience here:

Bros, what you had experienced is simply a brush with death or, in other terms, escaping death by the whiskers. This is totally different from Near-Death Experience (NDE). People often confuse this rare life situation with common accidents that would have resulted in death.
Simply defined, a Near-Death Experience is "an unusual experience taking place on the brink of death and recounted by a person on recovery, typically an out-of-body experience or a vision of a tunnel of light." Please click the link below to read more about NDE.

MrOjay1:
Last friday evening, my friend in the hood called me on phone to inform me of a job opening in an ongoing construction site somewhere around Agbara (Lagos).

He told me the pay is 2,300 per day depending on if you were able to finish the day's job.

I told him i was interested (no choice for a broke man) and asked him when we are to leave for the place. He said we'll leave for Agbara the next day early in the morning to get there on time and start with others.

'No wahala', I said.

We set off the next morning and got there before 7 or thereabouts. When the supervisor saw me said, 'oboy as you dey lenge lenge (slim) like this, you sure say you go fit do this kind work so??'

I told him i could. Shey no be my mates dey do am?

I started the work which was carrying mixed concrete and sand up into the second floor of the building.

The work no easy o. I wan die true to God but i just chinned up and continued. I worked like this till afternoon.

My body was telling me to stop but i continued being that i wanted my full pay for the day then something happened.

As i was climbing up the scaffolded stairs, my limbs had become weak and my eyes dazed, i had no energy left again to climb up to the second floor so while trying to muster up energy as i climbed, I mis-stepped my footings and was about falling off the stairs down to the ground laden with bamboo, nails, stones and co far below but was saved by the hand of another worker coming up the stairs behind me. He had already noticed my fatigue and signs of faint feeling.

My headpan had already crashed down the ground.

I wonder what would have happened to me. Probably would have died.

The supervisor heard of it and was furious, lambasting me saying,' shebi i tell you say you no fit do this work? Na so you for put me for trouble.Oya dey go house now now, he said as he put his hands in his pocket and brought out 1400 as my payment.

I protested and demanded my full payment but he wasn't listening and was threatening to call the police.

I left the place, went home and used half the money to treat the sprain and pains i was feeling all over my body.

RomanceRe: Advice Needed: Should I Go Ahead With The Introduction by firstratedcitiz(m): 10:23pm On Aug 02, 2020
You're being forced to marry the wrong person based on what a soothsayer told you. Neither Bisi nor your so-called fiancee is qualified to be your wife. Ignore whatever Alfa or pastor is saying and search for a better partner. The fact that things turned worse for you before was not because you left or ignored a former partner. Things will be when they will be. Your opportunity to prosper is not in anyone's hands.
Lisabi01:
Good morning family. I need your advice. This post might be long. Kindly ignore my jargons.

I and my fiancée have been dating for years now (childhood love). 4 years ago, we broke up for like a year due to her infidelity. During that time, I was with different girls who are worse, except a girl (Bisi) who was a friend then, and was in a relationship as at then (I'll come back to this).

Back to 4 years ago, after we (i and my fiancée)broke up, things starts falling in its place, and I started living large. It all ended after we got back together, and I was back to square one. I thought it was because I was still in school, but it continued after school.

I met another girl last year, we were just friends, no strings attached. This girl told me that I have a problem, and that I'm not bothered about it. My response was that we all have different problem and that this was my trying times. She responded saying "is this how your life was few years ago?" She asked me to go out to a pastor and make my own findings. I've never seen this girl prior to this, we just talk on phone.

As per her advice, I went out to seek for a divine solution (I never believed in seeking spiritual solution from a pastor, Alfa or a traditional worshiper, but I did this time around). I was told that when things was good for me, I had a girl that I dated throughout that time, and that I should try and connect her again. I thought about it, and they were actually right. It was when I stopped calling this girl that things went south for me. I told them I don't have any connection with her again and that i can't connect her. I was later told to be observant, and that I'll meet another girl, and that thing will change for me.

Back to my friend, Bisi..... She was in an open relationship. I envied their relationship then, and I was crushing on her secretly ( I and my fiancée wasn't together then). I met Bisi recently and she told me she broke up with her boyfriend. We became friends again, and we started getting closer. She doesn't live in my town, and we don't see at all because I don't have the time. But I noticed she's all I want in a woman, and since I met her, my pocket never runs dry. I don't have that intention of dating her at first until I noticed my pocket.

Now that I'm engaged, my introduction is coming up soon, and my extended family members and my fiancée's are all aware of the date. I should have done the introduction months ago before this pandemic, but my fiancée said some hurtful and hateful words to me which I still remember and I'm still keeping it to myself. She also have some attitudes I've been correcting but never takes to correction.

I know you'll say when I noticed all the above, why can't i bail out? There's a saying : the devil you've known for long is better than an angel you just met. She's that devil I've known for long and she's been known and has the support of family and friends.
You'll also ask: will they live together with us? My answer is so dumb cos I thought I can't find anybody better than her, even though my pocket runs dry. And one of the pastors said things will get better with her.

The dilemma I'm in now is should I put the introduction on hold, or I should go ahead with it for further observation on Bisi, or I should just carry my cross and work things out with my fiancée.... A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage, so they say.

Insults are welcomed, just for me to be a better me.

NB: I'm not in a relationship with Bisi (not her real name)

Christianity EtcRe: I Killed This Bat The Enemy Sent To My House At Night by firstratedcitiz(m): 5:30am On Aug 02, 2020
How did you know the enemy sent the bat to your house? Stop living under siege mentality. The bat is an innocent creature, a nocturnal animal and must have found its way into your house by accident. Not every incident is the work of satan or the enemy. So dispel that Mountain of Fire and Lord's Chosen mentality.

RomanceRe: I Want To Leave My Boyfriend For A New Guy. by firstratedcitiz(m): 8:44am On Aug 01, 2020
The life of women sucks. You don't "trust easily" and do you think you're trustworthy, yourself, with this behavior?
Favour2323:
Nairalanders, I'm about to do something my conscience doesn't agree with but it feels like the right decision to make. I have a boyfriend. We've been dating for the past 6 months. I love him. We were good friends before we started dating. I'm someone who doesn't trust easily and I like to assess a guy for a while before dating him. I assessed his intentions and I realised he didn't just want to have sex with me and leave. He loved me just as I loved him.

Three months ago I met this guy. At first I just saw him as a friend, but as I got to know him I started noticing the good qualities he possessed. He's very attractive, very intelligent and wellspoken. My conversations with him were so immersive. The little time I spent with him always left a profound impression on me. Soon I noticed I had started developing feelings for him. I was still in love with my boyfriend nevertheless.

One day the new guy asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told him I did. The next day he called me and said that he didn't want to interfere with my relationship. He said he had feelings for me and he couldn't remain friends with me when he knows I have a boyfriend. I told him that I had feelings for him as well and that we could still remain friends but he refused and suggested that we stopped talking. He hasn't called or texted me since that day.

This situation has left me in an emotional turmoil. This new guy represents everything I want in a guy and as much as I don't want to admit it, he possesses better qualities than my boyfriend. I can't imagine a life where I can't talk to him anymore. I really like him. His decision has left me in a dicey position. It's unfair to leave my boyfriend who has always been nice to me for someone else, but the new guy doesn't want to have anything to do with me again as long as I'm in a relationship.

Please I need advice. I don't want to make the wrong decision.

You are a fool. No apologies. You wasted all that money just like that. Imagine if you had given out just 1% of that money to orphanage, prayers you would have received for act of charity would have opened ways for you in other ways.
By the way, you gambled on eSports. You played against the machine and got swindled. You didn't even bet on normal games. You got greedy. Served you right.
abujarealtor:
Good day, everyone.

Yesterday was one of the most confusing days for me. For a moment, I almost ran mad.

Two weeks ago, I didn't even know what betting was like. Never done it, never experienced it. I hardly knew what the numbers meant.

Fast forward to yesterday, Tuesday, 28 July, I was risking a client's money on a game I thought was 'a sure bet.'

It was an eSports game I've been following for a while. I knew the players involved were very skilled and could score for fun. They did so in over 10 successive matches last night. So I thought it was worthwhile betting they'd score at least 2 goals.

I tried to do so in three attempts, but didn't have the mind to follow through, only for the matches to end up with at least 3 goals or more.

Informed by this, I thought it was safe to go on ahead and play this one time. I did. Unfortunately, both matches didn't end like I had predicted.

Over 800k was gone in a flash. I couldn't believe it. Seeing the signs, I attempted a cash out while the match was still live but couldn't, as the option wasn't available.

You may wonder why I had to risk such a huge sum.

It's simple; think I got greedy. embarassed

However, my excuse was that I needed money to offset some bills. Faced with so much responsibilities, I thought winning over a million naira would go a long way in helping me take care of stuff since business hasn't been coming in so much. The tile money I used was my first business since March, before the lockdown.

But, of course, my greed overshadowed any excuse I could offer.

To all the young men out there, please, regardless of how sure you are, do not stake more money than you're willing to lose. I've been there. The allure of making it big sooner can be overwhelming, but don't risk it.

If you must, stake little sums and make future bets from your winnings.

TV/MoviesRe: Bbnaija Housemates Emerging Top 5 On The Show by firstratedcitiz(m): 1:36pm On Jul 25, 2020
weIMPORT:
Out of the 20 housemates competing on the 2020 Big Brother Naija, BBNaija reality TV show, 5 of them have proven to be the favorites of the viewers.

Of these 5, which include; Laycon, Dorathy, Nengi, Ozo and Eric, one is tipped to emerge winner on the show.

Each one of the Housemates attracted the interest of many Nigerians for different reasons.

Laycon has continued to trend on social media more than any other Housemate. He is the first of the lot to be verified on Instagram. His story is that of grass to grace as he was considered the underdog at the beginning but his palpable intelligence soon shone through to the amazement of many followers of the show.

One person describes him as “Wole Soyinka in Naira Marley’s body”

He is a huge prospect and many celebrities have already started pushing him with their resources for the crown.

Next in line is Dorathy, and this delight of a woman has won many hearts with her endowment of erupting twin towers. Her heavy chest, according to some, is the reason they watch the show, especially the early morning workouts. She’s such an eyeful in the workout outfit, which amplifies her mammoth mammary presence.

Nengi has all the attributes of a winner in the making. Winning the first Head of House is one reason to watch out for her. She’s starting out much like Mercy Lambo with the cute, perky backside which is making headlines already. Like Mercy, some have started whispering she had had a job done on it. And her beauty is something that cannot be questioned either. Many celebrities are already lining up behind her.

In comes Ozo who has won many loyalists to his camp over the argument on his fair-complexion. His sense of judgment and social dispositions are key to his game.

Lastly but not the least is Eric, a hunk of a man who has become the toast of the ladies.

Prince, Erica and Lilo are building momentum but time will tell if they can gather enough speed to keep with the pace. There are 20 Housemates in the house so there is bound to be twists and promises. May the best man win.

The 20 housemates are competing for the 85 Million Naira grand prize – the biggest grand prize in the history of BBNaija – as well as a variety of other prizes courtesy of Betway, the headline sponsor of BBNaija 2020.

You've been told what to do and you're still asking irrelevant questions. Lodge a complaint with Accessbank or MTN. That line has been inserted into your phone and has left a 'fingerprint' with your phone's IMEI, even if you choose to destroy the SIM. If ever a case of financial fraud would come up against the account, it would probably be traced to your phone using its IMEI. Be wise.

First of all insist that your brother must rent an accommodation for you till such a time when you can stand on your own and fend for yourself. Make him realize it is in his own best interest, at least for there to be less friction between you and the wife and her sisters. When you must have gotten accommodation elsewhere, invite the troublesome one between the two sisters over to your house and be nice to her. Win her confidence and then bleep the hell out of her. That's the best punishment you can give to her for troubling you.

Last month made it 4 years since my neighbor travelled to Italy via the Mediterranean Sea. Thank God for him, he arrived safely irrespective of the hurdles on the way.

He left behind a beautiful young woman not up to 29 years of age and with a little daughter of 6 years old.

Prio to this time I wasn't close to the wife but as time goes by this woman started greeting me frequently, exchanging cd plates with me even joining me to watch movies sometimes. I started noticing she's hot with her sexy hairy body. One night she opened up to me that she needs the touch of a man if we could be doing it secretly because her husband still promise to come for her hence what she needs is someone to be touching her once in a while and it must be a secret.

I truely like the offer but I'm scared of betraying my neighbor by banging his wife. I'm still thinking about it.
I can't bet my life savings on this and swear that the poster is in fact the one making the moves to sleep with the woman.
