Go and make money first. This is always what I tell the male folks. Focus on your success first. If opportunity comes for you to chop, chop and move on and continue chasing your dreams.
When it clicks, they will be all over you.

They've started jubilating that Tinubu would become president. After one year, you will see them in the travel section, seeking advice on how to travel out of the country. The same way they routed for Buhari and most are now looking for ways to japa.

I like that, at least it offers a change to the usual Nigerian architecture.

Changing bulbs might be a little challenging but it's not something we do everyday.

I agree. My next retirement home is going to be a two bedroom bungalow with high head room like this one you did. I am done with duplex. Once I am ready, I will simply demarcate my current duplex into mini flats and self contained. I already designed it to be easier to be demarcated and converted to self contained for letting.

Na ladder you go dey climb to change bulbs or to do anything on the ceiling. The head room is quite imposing and intimidating.

If nah poor man, these bishops will not be flocking around him like this. Truly money rules the world

Even their Lordships knows wealth when they see one. As a poor man, you don't dare invite them to any thing. Their personal assistants won't even allow you to see them.
They attend to the rich alone.

One of the questions I asked a primary school friend then in Onitsha. I was excited that I would be going to the village on December 23, 1990. I asked him why their family always stayed at Onitsha when everyone had gone to their villages during Christmas and Easter. He said he is from Onitsha and had no village to go to.
We were age mate then, just 11 years and living in the same area in Onitsha. It was my mum that explained better to me why my friend, Obiora had no village to visit as he is an Osha boy.

University of Abuja the federal capital of Nigeria looking like an ancient and unkempt disaster. I wonder why but black man especially Nigerians need help because we are not normal human beings

Anything government in this part of the world is so distasteful. Our standards are terribly low.

The divorce threat from rude boy's wife really humbled rudeboy. I am sure he wasn't expecting his wife to go to that extent. He immediately sued for peace, reconciled with his brother and wants the family to settle all issues amicably. Pride and arrogance is never good.

Even Turkey All these countries using Africa to catch cruise

China - Africa Summit
India - Africa Summit
EU - Africa Summit
US - Africa Summit

Any country that wants to feel important will invite African leaders to their country for one stupid summit or the other. Summit that adds no value and I trust my president to attend.

Fegge - The behemoth that refused to live up to its potential. Seeing Onitsha from the banks of River Niger at night from the Asaba end, when NEPA light is on in many homes and buildings, portends a bustling cosmopolitan city with all the trappings of affluence and wealth. Soludo needs to rejig the Onitsha city in total. The city is not living up to its potential.

FIRS and other government agencies cannot even do audit of automated system presented by a company. Give them access to your system for them to carry out their tax audit work, they will ask you to print out everything.

Majority of Nigerian youths won't waste time to scam you if presented with an opportunity. I avoid a lot of them, especially those that looks like the guy in the picture

The funny thing is that 99% of the graduands never chose Vet as their preferred course. Circumstances pushed them to the course.

I got more than 150 of this kind of mails in my hay days as applicant after my first degree. In fact, after my masters degree in UK, I got up 200 of this kind of mails. I am not joking. Just keep hope alive. Don't give up

Poverty and religion are inseparable. I don't know why poor people are the ones that are overly over religious. Same with them here in Nigeria, with all due apologies. Give these urchins US or EU visa, they will jettison their religion and take flight.

Damboa, the town I would have made my highest fee as a solo consultant courtesy of an international NGO that gave a short term consulting job there. Family pressure and other considerations made me to turn down the offer despite the gruelling two-stage interviews I went through to be selected as the preferred bidder.

If it is an international NGO, ie INGO, you may consider the offer as they provide adequate security and help their staff secure accommodation in secure areas. There is also prospect of growth and development. You can build a viable and fulfilling career working for an NGO. I was supposed to go to Borno sometimes in 2020, Damboa to be precise, for a consulting work, on invitation of an INGO, with adequate security and other things, but I declined, on one part because of my family and two, the unfamiliarity of the place. Nevertheless, NGO provides an uncommon opportunity for career growth and advancement. If you are single, consider the NGO but if you are married and have family, you may stay put in Ogun.

This man that goofed and announced the wrong candidate as Ms World that year.

With the disappointing run of form of our Politicians since independence, do you think that British rule over Nigeria up to the 1990s would have been better for Nigeria? Me, I think so. The incompetence of Nigerian leaders sometimes made me regret the independence of Nigeria at that early stage. I believe that continuous British rule up till the 90s would have been more impactful than this appalling performance from our leaders.

Kai, the pains and trauma that comes with your house being demolished is better imagined than experienced. Many do not survive it and when they do, it must have induced high blood pressure that may never go

ok oh...


Hope say wen dem finally sworn am in e no go dey rule him people from abroad...

You win election in Nigeria u don go dey celebrate for outside....

He is not usually aware of his environment.

They should keep deceiving themselves and Nigerians are falling for it. They codedly chose a church to launder their image in the name of birthdays celebration, knowing quite well how gullible Nigerians could be when it comes to religion.

Abiy was too hasty....in order to deal with this kind of people deeply rooted in power for long, u have to plan well, be deviously friendly & after u have identified the heads... crush them instantly with overwhelming force..

Sigh..I think I play too much war simulation games, real life might be a bit more complicated

Quite correct. He should have lured them into his side and decimate them one by one. He acted hastily. Tigrayans were already suspicious of the guy. He shouldn't have invaded them but should have waited and watched. This war is not going to end and Tigrayans will never disarm, now or in the future. Ethiopia is on the path of self-destruction. The war will outlive President Abiye and the next president will continue.

Egypt and Sudan will be laughing at this Abiye guy. The so called big dam Abiye is building is not on a standstill and Eqypt will do everything to ensure that the war continues. They may even be arming the Tigrayans. Abiye is simply inexperience and too young.

Succinctly captured, I can't believe how stupid African leaders behave, it's like a southern president thinking you can push out Fulanis from the country after the high level of nepotism so far put in place by Buhari without applying tact and diplomacy, after Buhari has entrenched them in all our security apparatus. Imagine the amount of weapons in the hands of Fulani bandits alone who are non state actors and the official arms under the control of Army commanders of Fulani extraction, that's how it is with Tigray.

Obasanjo was able to deplete the officer core of the North to achieve a balance during his tenure by sacking all senior military officers that have held political appointment across board including Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa etc which didn't raise much eye brows, that's tactical leadership

Exactly, I like your narrative using Nigeria's situation. Obasanjo was tactical with that purge in the military and brought semblance of balance. It would take decades to undo what Buhari has done.

Anytime you see celebrities inside a private jet, ask them to also snap the cockpit. They should stand before the cockpit and snap. A lot of restaurant is springing up around lekki, built in airplane style, with private jet decoration. People go there and snap and post on social media.

They should withdraw that Nobel Peace Price given to Ahmed Abiye. That Ethiopian president is a big fraud. He under estimated the Tigrayan peoples liberation front, a party that had ruled Ethiopia for much of its past years. He should have threaded softly. See how this has escalated. When you call for war, you hardly knew how it would end.

See the Syrians, from one of the interviews I watched on Euronews, majority of them regreted that uprising and demonstration that started from Alepo against the Assad regime, thinking it was a mere protest. Much of Syria is now in ruins, and they are the most displaced people in the world, running from one country to another as refuge.

President Abiye played into the hands of Egypt's Abdel Sisi and the Sudan's government because of their push back against the mega dam being constructed by Ethiopia. Abiye refused negotiation with those countries as both Sudan and Egypt expressed their reservation about the dam and its consequence on their respective countries.

Abiye is on his, US and their allies are secretly backing the Tigray. The Tigray peoples party was aligned to US against the Soviet during the cold war. The president of WHO, a very popular figure from Tigray, is secretly gathering support for his people, which saw the rebels drove out government forces out of their region and are on an unstoppable match to Addis Ababa. Desperation has already set in for Abiye and he has called all Ethiopian to arm themselves against the rebels. Who does that? Abiye is a gunner. It is a matter of time before the Tigrayan forces capture Adis Ababa.

Ethiopian troops are demoralized and Tigrayans that are in Ethiopian armed forces have absconded as they could not fight their ethnic brothers and moved to join Tigrayan forces, further depleting seasoned commanders within the Ethiopian forces. Abiye is now calling Russia for support but so far, Kremline has not shown any interest.

Carry your cross President Abiye. Next time, reason with your brain

Nigerian content is all over DSTV so you're talking donkey manure.

Why do u have to describe your neighbours as "small" Explains why you're threatened by SA and its presence on NL.

Stop responding to all these low life people with over bloated ego about Nigeria. There are SA social medias that Nigerians post and share conversations with SA. Feel free to post whatever you feel right about SA. It brings new knowledge about SA to Nigerians.

Go to DSTV and see Nigerian made contents everywhere, being watched by many Africans without complaining. BBB Naija was a hook to many Africans, tuning in to watch Nigerian made content.

10.9% of result withheld is quite high. Something must have happened

He looks a little bit over weight. Heart attack, HBP and other cardio-related sicknesses are un forgiven and merciless when they strike, especially in a country without emergency like Nigeria.
