As a Christian, I dont think I have the testicular fortitude to comment on Muslim- Muslim or Yorulani issues.

Lol, abeg edit the last part for your post abeg, my mama still dey strong.

Sonnobax15:

Na so..

The joy of seeing your mom,in fact your parents grow old together is second to none...

Sometimes,I wish my mom was still alive cuz she was certainly the only one who understood me... Definitely,I wouldn't have made alot of mistakes I've made so far......

People wey get lovin' mother's no know wetin God do for Dem...

May the soul of my mom and every other mother keep on RIP🙏

You God is Christ, Yahweh, Jevohah, El Roi, Allah, etc
The God for Army, na Gun cuz bullet no dey differentiate between Chosen member and Hezbollah.
For this world wey you dey inside like this, na the same Christians don kill pass all other religions combined.
If you wan calculate, start only from 1884.

Racoon:
Now someone have asked a question; Can a so called born again Christian soldier carry out this gruesome thing? What is your opinion in view of the reality of the situation in Nigeria today?

Please don't forget Helinues, Yarimo, time manager, madridguy, BATified2023, Coronaviruspro and others.
Even if na attache at the Nigerian Embassy in Gaza, Kabul or Khartoum abeg, appoint dem.
They are really trying for you especially here on nairaland, it's not easy.
Their defence pass iron dome I swear, dem dey collect and give back to back.
Helinues is worth five Reno, Yarimo is worth atleast 3 Bwala and Time manager is worth 100 Joe Igbokwe.

My two cents,

1. A watched pot will never boil. Stop putting pressure on her or tell her to stop putting pressure on herself.
As far as u dey give her 001 doggy, she go collect.

2. A close friend and course mate of mine was in the same situation as yours, GF got pregnant in uni and they both aborted it.
After getting married, they waited 8 years before they finally settled for both IVF and surrogacy, the wife gave birth to twins and the surrogate gave birth to a single baby, 3 girls in all.
But I would not advise you to wait for 8 years b4 going for either IVF or surrogacy because your wife will be unhappy with each menses and she will cry behind your back whenever you are not there.
I know what my wives went through consoling my friend's wife.

Word of advice, anytime your wife is menstruating, pls be on your best behaviour or you go collect stray bullet and I no wan hear your aunty, mama or sister opinion for this issue or your marriage otilo.
Let them keep their opinion to themselves, only yours matters.
Also, try to buy natural palm wine keep for fridge, a glass per day, stop beer and whisky just incase.
If you are a smoker, better stop cigarette and smoke mj in its stead.
Last but not the least, every holiday season, bring your nieces and nephews below 10 to spend holidays in your house.
Pikin dem get spirit wey dey call pikin, this na tried and tested advice from African streets, dem no write am anywhere.

Best wishes.

Rega99:
Despite her having pcos during our dating year, she got pregnant and she decided to abort it which i was strongly against.

Now we are married and she still hasn't gotten pregnant, it's over a year now. We did series of test and I did too and we are both okay, except for the fact that she has pcos. She hasn't seen her period for the past months. Very soon people will start asking questions.

Anyone with any experience about this and how to tackle it?

My dear, you have put it better than I could put, oh what a townhall where the Apsee jollof rice will be shared with a bottle of bulaba!!!!.

Goodlady:
All these people are political pikins of Gudulock Jolatan & Mama Peace.
There's a kind of jollof rice APsee usually cook that drives other parties to their dining table.
This bolded punchline us useful for people like Winke, Ampabio, Buwala, Omocry or any APsee noisemaker to use.

Everybody remain loyal on a balablue!

@the bolded, you are incorrect.
His real name is Benjamin Mileikowsky, a Polish man.
You are making a good point but don't mix it up with half truths by allowing charcoal to stain your white shirt.

Nwaikpe:
What are the Gazans doing in Gaza?
Are they real Philistines?



Gazans are the only people that clearly are of another culture and yet still claim other people's culture brazenly.
Israelis still bear "Benjamin Netanyahu," and Iranians (not being Arabs) still bear Persian names like "Hamidrezan." Lebanese still carry their Christian names. But only Gazans can bear the name Yassem Al-Soudani (Yassem FROM SOUDAN)

Ask the Gazans about how the language of the people of Phillistia sounds like, they don't know. They don't even know that the Phillistia lived only in five cities: Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, Ekron and Ashdod.

But you are here, talking about people who bear the names of the Hebrews, worship their God, have their culture, carry their names, bear the mark of their intelligence and innovation, and have the culture of victory, like the very Hebrews of the Bible.

You no get sense @ all.
Poor Nigerians are reaping the benefits of the bold reforms and its very visible.
The reforms are yielding more poverty.
3 square meals with formation of 1-1-1 turned to 0-1-0 or 0-0-1 and has now been further upgraded to questions like, what is the alternative to rice, tomato vs snake tomato, what is the alternative to cow meat, titus fish, what is the equivalent of vegetable oil and cooking gas.
Only f00ls will not expect Tinubu to fulfil his campaign promise of "I will reduce their purchasing power"

nairavsdollars:
The presidency keeps saying the bold reforms are visible but why are poor Nigerians not reaping the benefit of President Bola Tinubu's reforms after two years in office?

@ the bolded.
Don't say that.
Afghanistan has the most modern weapons of war used by the US Army itself, weapons that even the USA cannot sell or even give free of charge to Pakistan nor Ukraine.
Just go and check the history and amount of weapons left by the Trump/Biden US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Pakistan can never win in any conventional war against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is the place where empires go to inorder to taste defeat.
Ask USSR and USA how far.

Reference:
The Taliban has nothing with which to defeat Pakistan. Even their famed fanaticism has limits. Provike the Pakis enough and they will just fire a nuke into the Khyber Pass and end the matter.

Utilize its Advanced satellite wetin?
when even simple CCTV camera or solar streetlight no dey work again?
Really?
Many comments on this thread are from people who just came into the country.
Let me inform you, the Nigerian Army is the #1 supplier of arms to Boko Haram either by direct sales or indirect sales like when the Nigerian Army withdraws under fire from Boko Haram leaving Boko Haram with a base full of weapons, ammunition and equipment to use and watch Tom and Jerry.


Then it was Boko Haram only and the Army could not defeat them, is it now that we have Bandits, ISIS, Mahmuda, Lakurawa and God knows what else, that the Army can do something?

Let dem take the fight to Boko Haram? Offensive posture? With which weapons?, the ones which they have sold?
Do you know that black market price of a single AK47 bullet is 9k? Imagine one sacks and motors full or 25l gallon full.
Just check the link below regarding missing 178,000 weapons, including 88,000 AK47 rifles in this Nigeria.
This is only for Police ooo, just imagine Army.

The truth is, if Boko Haram, bandits, Mahmuda, ISIS, Lakurawa or whatever the fork their name is never kidnap 1 sitting governor or minister or senator, SGF or first lady, nothing will change.

Avedonn:
The Nigerian army should not adopt a defensive posture. Rather, they must take the fight to the Boko Haram terrorists. A strategy of waiting for attacks to occur and then repelling them will only prolong the conflict. To bring a decisive end to this war, [b]the military should proactively utilize its advanced satellite intelligence [/b]to locate and target the terrorists enclaves.

Normal normal Nwabali ticket no fit cut, na over 0.5 or over 1.5 goal Nwabali dey bet with Super Eagles.
Sure odds.

Tenrack:
You guys are missing a very important observation. Una sure say the Nwabali no put something for the match? Cause his mistakes were too comical. It's almost like he knew what he was doing conjuring up those silly mistakes. Na dem Sabi sha. I don't expect them to qualify. I just dey pity Osimehn.

Wetin u dey smoke?
So after the devaluation 20 times or more and 1 cedi is over a 100 naira, u still get time 2 write this kind long epistle about naira.
When you guys were adding color to the naira and printing trillions of naira through ways and means, it was not devaluation abi?
When naira was used in buying naira it was not devaluation abi?
When someone said he will reduce the purchasing power of Nigerians, it was not devaluation abi?
Wear pant, no allow pant to wear you, my 2 kobo.

FreeStuffsNG:
Ghanaian cedi is the worst to compare with any currency and it shows that the reporter had no clue on the true value of new cedis after Ghana knocked off 4 zeros in 2007 redenomination and the new cedis devalued almost 20 times since 2007!

1 naira today is worth almost 1million old Ghanaian cedi!

If Ghana likes, it can keep deceiving itself or/and keep deceiving the ignoramus gbegbendus here on nairaland and unpatriotic elements feasting on a false report.

Naira is far ahead of the Ghanaian cedi and I thank late President Yardua for not falling for the nonsense redenomination attempt by then CBN Governor, Prof Soludo.

If Soludo had succeeded, we would have become another Ghana hyping a beaten near-worthless currency.

I am supporting either Rwanda or Benin for qualification.
Nigeria and South Africa are too disorganised if not they would have already qualified by now.
Let 9ja and SA sit back and argue about who xenophobic pass, who is peddling drugs in SA and how SA endowed ladies only rate igbo guys.

Agreed.
But how can Dangote be with 650k bpd be paying engineer salary of 280 usd per month in 2025 in Lagos? Is that not slavery?

My question to you is this:

1. Abi na dis same 280 usd per month, make those Indian engineers leave India, leave Indorama come work for Dangote refinery?

2. Can Dangote prove the sabotage he is accusing these innocent 800 engineers of?
If there was real sabotage, should they not be arrested and charged to court?

Iamzik:
I will fire any employees that join forces with whatever union to sabotage my company operations. There is no emotion here

You mean the Cameroon wey better pass Nigeria or another Cameroon?
No be by how long, Na by how far.
The poorest Cameroonian has a quality of life far higher than the poorest Nigerian can even have wet dreams over.
Moreso since a convicted drug addict became Nigeria President compared to the son of a catechist who is Cameroon president.
The amount of subsidies the poorest Cameroonian is getting from the government in the health, food, agriculture, fuel, education, sports, electricity sectors, purchasing power etc, if Nigeria try am, China go use loans buy up the Royal Niger company.
Do you even know that the Cameroon government is the only government in the world that disburses millions to opposition parties during election period?
Like right now, money is being distributed by the incumbent to opposition parties for them to add to their campaign funds.
Nobody has ever died on election day in Cameroon, I repeat nobody. No violence ever, no ballot box snatching ever on election day.
Election and campaign period na national feast, dem dey share national cake that period.
Compare that to Nigeria, simple LG elections blood dey flow like water.
Cameroon pass Nigeria far far, I repeat far far.
The only thing a Nigerian can use to criticise Cameroon is that the President has stayed in power for 43 years, but the 43 years get doings, if you compare his 43 years and the same 43 years in Nigeria with numerous Presidents, you go see say Paul Biya 43 years was far far more productive than all the other Nigerian Presidents combined.
;DLol, I just remember say inside the 43 years, we get 9 years of the clueless one.
Imagine a whole giant of Africa no get refinery, na private individual - Dangote save 9ja, thing wey small Cameroon government get tey tey, but FG no fit run am.

Validated:
Cameron needs to be recolonized by Nigeria to let the people get sense.

No, Trump telling Melania to apologise to Stormy Daniels.

Softmirror:
Like Bill Clinton telling Hilary Clinton to apologize to Monica Lewinsky?! Is that possible?😁

1. Rich? How do you define rich?
Your definition of rich will grossly differ with the definition of rich of Peter Obi, Dangote, Bezos, Musk and obviously the young man in the photo.
Trying to define rich is like trying to define happiness which is subjective.
Northerners being the most malnourished and poorest is a fact, no one can deny that but its also an undeniable fact that Northerners occupy the biggest landmass in Nigeria with the poorest soil and harshest climate, have the highest population and birthrate compared to the South, so everything does not revolve around cows but cows Norrherners have in millions.
Yes, millions of cows.
All the cow meat and kpomo eaten everyday in this country comes from the North and nowhere else.

2. 100-500 cows is a very beautiful lie.
The highest number of cows, I have witnessed being used as brideprice/dowry is 12 cows.
But @ the bolded "Do you know what a hundred cows mean?" got my attention.
I can tell you with my full chest that 100 hundred cows is nothing, you might find it hard to believe because you were not born into a culture of savings in animals.
100 hundred cows is nothing, Lagos state alone slaughters between 3000-10000 cows per day, only Lagos state, not the whole Nigeria.
What is 100 cows again?
I can swear that there are more rams and goats in the North than the entire human population of Nigeria.
NB: I am not a Northerner.

Nice day.

FaAbData:
Lolzz @ 'peter Obi'

You don't get my points entirely,
1. Having plenty cows doesn't make you rich, else how comes with all their cows the northerners are still the most malnourished? How come they're still the poorest?
2. Using a few cows to pay brideprice is one thing, using 100-500 cows for bride price is another thing- no large group of people can practice such a culture, it's just an exaggeration of the culture or numbers of cows. Do you know what a hundred cows means? Even as wealthy in cows as the north is they can't be using 100-500 for brideprice

Yes, that man you see there can have over a hundred cows and a thousand sheep to his name.
Take just the Fulani cattle rearers or Tupuri people in Northern Nigeria, once his wife gives birth, they show his mother a few cows let's say 3 cows and 5 rams for him.
B4 that child becomes 30 years of age, how many rams and cows from the original 3 cows and 5 rams will he have?
Lets not include his father or sibling dying and their own animals pass over to him.
What do you think?

If you and I are asked to bring just 10 cows as dowry or bride price, we will first go withdraw from ATM before we go and buy the cows, but there are other people whom by their culture and way of life, before you say Peter Obi they have already transferred the 10 cows.
Their culture is imbedded in cows, goats and agriculture as their own New York Federal Reserve, they are saving in animals while you and I are saving cash in Ecobank.
This is why there is no Southern tribe who can boast of cows or animal rearing except pigs.
This is why Northerners are feeding Nigeria as more farming is done up North despite its Sahel nature and poor soil fertility than down South which has natural fertile soils and favorable climate for agriculture.
That is why Northerners are the highest hoarders of food to create artifical scarcity.
Spices, Corn, Beans, Tomatoes, Onions, Groundnuts, Cassava, rice etc.
Remember Anchor Borrowers Program under Meffy, na Northerners benefit pass and even bought APC ticket for Meffy as thank you meanwhile rice fit grow for South pass North using zero fertiliser.

It all boils down to culture.

No loose guard yourself, that young man on that photo fit get the number of cows and goats wey pass the number of people in your extended family plus inlaws join.
Beware, AIDS no dey show for face.

FaAbData:
He'll also exchange those cows when his sons wants to marry and the circle goes on.. having cows doesn't make you rich (in a situation where everybody has cows too) because it would seems the average man would have 200 cows . Imagine everybody in the country having 200 cows, that would be inflation.

I don't believe the story though it's either an exaggeration, a half-baked truth or only practiced by a very few group or class of people over there and the OP is making it look like it's general practice. Does that man in the pics looks like someone that has a cow to his name?

I don't align with you on food importation because we are wasting dollars, exporting jobs and bringing down the value of the naira.
Do you know the import bill for food within the past 365 days?
It's in billions of dollars.

Now we Nigerians always think we are a bird meanwhile we are just a butterfly and we have got to take lessons from our neighbors and fellow Africans.
I see Nigerians insulting Paul Biya of Cameroon due to him seeking reelection on one thread on nairaland and I was just laughing.

Let me ask you, is there any FG/ state owned company that is into agriculture?
I mean a state owned company paying workers to farm on state owned farms and feed the nation, with the harvested products being sold at subsidised prices?
Nigerians have not yet reached that level of intelligence.
Cameroon has SODECOTON for cotton production, and the cotton seeds pressed for cooking oil.
MAISCAM for corn.
SODEBLE for wheat
CDC for oil palm, bananas and rubber
PAMOL for oil palm
SOCAPALM for oil palm
NOSUCA for sugarcane and sugar
SEMRY for rice
Etc
These are the ones I can remember for now.

This policy will cutoff the exploitative tendencies of local farmers as the government sets prices for food items based on its production and if you like as a private farmer, sell at a higher price, na only your family go patronise you.
But the private farmers are also well taken care of by the government through subsidised fertilisers, planting seeds, equipment, expertise and agric loans, so they cannot complain of the price fixed by the the government for food products because the government produces more than them but allows them a margin to make a profit while also ensuring that the stare owned agricultural companies don't run at a loss and even if there is a loss, its minimal and offset by the abundance and cheap nature of food items for the average citizen.
Also, the export of food items is banned by the Cameroon government, even Cameroon pepper we eat in Nigeria is smuggled across the border.


Why should we import food when we have millions of hectares of arable land?
It does not make any sense at all.

Good day to you.

seunowa:
I align with you on food importation. Government should encourage food importation to counter the exploitative tendencies of Nigeria farmers. Imagine, what Nigerians went through during hike in gas prices, what happened was due to exploitative tendencies of Nigerians.

Haha!!! You mean he started his restaurant chain with only 1 cup of rice? Fantastic but make im enter Yankee first, make I check whether im get sealed indictment.
Invictus Obi comes to my mind.

Sccarrr:
Hope no be another invictus....naso una go hype ppl till another thing come out🙄

Racoon, u too funny bro.
@ the bolded.
Ur brother Uche Nnaji wey im evidence full ground never yet resign and ICPC, EFCC, DSS and NPF don smell the odor of the President regarding the matter lock up, na a whole Emperor Wike wey Tpain don promise am VP slot for 2031, na im u wan make im step aside.
Abeg I no wan laugh.
Tpain go declare State of Emergency for the whole Nigeria before Wike go resign.
A whole Wike, head of the National Judicial Council to resign because of EFCC, DSS and ICPC investigation?
Abeg no talk dat kind thing again b4 u mistakenly bite your tongue.
This is Tinubu's Nigeria.

Racoon:
Nyesom Wike ought to have step aside, resign or be relieved of his job to pave way for thorough investigation. Alas! That is not to be. You don tell long compromised state institutions (The Presidency, EFCC, ICPC, NFIU, DSS, NPF )to do their constitutional responsibility.

They don't need to see the body language of the president before they act. Nigeria is a captured state where persons are more powerful than the institutions.

Since 2023?

Nackzy:
America go catch this one, FBI are their way to Nigeria Already

You should be ashamed of yourself and you must be Yoruba from your comments.
Kemi Adeosun personally submitted fake documents and got away with it.
Nobody cares if Kemi Adeosun is Judas Iscariot junior sister. Nobody cares, we care about actions and facts, not intentions nor wishful thinking.
The biggest profile on her CV will forever be the Minister of Finance of Nigeria, that's the risk she personally took to getting that post because why else will someone in your own words " well brought up, foreign schooled and travelled submit a fake document?
Smell the coffee, the Minister of Finance is Nigeria is a very very big deal, there is no Nigerian citizen excelling outside Nigeria in banking, accountancy, economics or finance professional abroad who can turn down such a post.
I repeat there is none.!!!!!!!!
If you doubt, look at the trajectory of Ngozi Okonjo the WTO woman.
Kemi Adeosun can kill to become the Minister of Finance of Nigeria, forget all that her abroad credentials.
All that Deloitte, PWC, Banks, etc no reach Nigerian Minister of Finance even half.

Even Kemi Badenoch will not turn down such an offer for anything in the world, she is just doing gra gra now but when the conservatives have used and dumped her finish, Tinubu will exchange her with Abike Dabiri and she will loudly shout 4+4 Tinubu 2031.

Now the undertones of this issue surround whether this Ibo minister should at a minimum voluntarily resign or force T-pain hand in suspending the Minister.
But on whether he should be charged, that's a matter for another day because igbos will scream marginalisation and persecution because as was in Kemi Adeosun a Yoruba is also supposed to be the same as in Uche Nnaji an Igbo especially now that a Yoruba man is in power.
Infact any attempt to charge Uche Nnaji will rope in Kemi Adeosun with social media spotlight and make her go viral online in whatever continent she is hiding from being charged, convicted and sentenced for atleast 109 counts each of attempted fraud and fraud, two counts of forgery and refund of all fraudulent allowance, salary and benefits she ever received as a Minister.
I am neither Igbo nor Yoruba, I leave the floor for you guys to knock yourselves out, after I will mop up the blood on the floor.

AlphaTaikun:
@airsaylongcome

This is historically misleading. Do NOT demonize the British-born Kemi Adeosun over that exemption certificate episode. She started NOTHING related to forgery. The post is a bit long but when you read it you will realize that she was NEVER involved directly in the NYSC exemption certificate situation. It was the NYSC staff who irresponsibly forged that exemption certificate instead of procuring the ORIGINAL signed exemption certificate containing the right serial numbers. This is why a lot of Diasporan Nigerians have fallen victim to scammers who issued non-genuine documents in the Immigration passport offices or while applying for driver's licenses in the past.

Second, 'Kemi Adeosun was a full-blooded British citizen in in the interview I read about her when she was the Ogun State Commissioner of Finance back in the early 2010s, she CLEARLY stated that the FIRST time she ever flew into Nigeria on holidays was at the age of just 18 years. Then she flew back to England, graduated from a top British University and worked with Arthur Anderson for more than 10 years in a senior position. So Kemi had NO need for any NYSC program because she was a FULL British citizen and had only been to Nigeria once at 18 years on holidays with her family. She was NEVER a Nigerian citizen or passport holder hence violated NO NYSC laws like some uninformed posters who rushed to heavily demonize her online were saying because they don't know her very well. Kemi also said in that published Saturday Punch interview that she NEVER knew she would eventually come to live in Nigeria due to her marriage to Mr Adeosun her husband. So, after 10 years of marriage, and in order to protect her marriage, she had to leave England and come live with her husband in Nigeria and her consulting firm employer "Arthur Anderson" in England didn't want her to resign because of her outstanding performance. It was on arrival in Nigeria to join her husband, Mr. Adeosun (who owned a business and worked in Nigeria but had to fly regularly to England to see his nuclear family) that the British-accented Kemi Adeosun was introduced by a top female business leader and former President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria or I CAN (Mrs. Olakunrin) to former Governor Ibikunle Amosunc who then drafted the academically brilliant Kemi into government as his Ogun State Commissioner for Budget and Finance and she said she was indeed the first to introduce the "treasury single account" or TSA at the State level which was then implemented when she became a Minister. It was in the course of this that someone suggested that she request for the so-called NYSC exemption certificate just for the formality of having it for any future job opportunity. In reality, Kemi INFACT had NO need for because she was NEVER a Nigerian citizen or passport holder but a British born and her family house is still in England right from the early 1960s when her father and mother migrated to England for further studies. Both of her parents hailed from Ijebu Waterside of Ogun State hence the reason Ibikunle Amosun made her his Commissioner for Budget and Finance.

'Kemi Adeosun did NOT deliberately forge any NYSC exemption certificate. It was the NYSC officials who issued it to her go between. This is why Diasporans have to be careful when applying for official document in Nigeria such as drivers licenses, the NYSC exemption certificate and more so that you are NOT given forged documentation.

What saved Kemi Adeosun's image is that NYSC DG indeed acknowledged that she officially applied for the exemption certificate BUT the officials who handled the process gave her a document that wasn't original. Till date, I haven't heard that those unscrupulous NYSC officials have been tracked and arrested for prosecution for putting that woman into a state of embarrassment. She had to voluntarily resign her appointment because that's the way things are done officially in her country of birth where till date her family house exists.

I hope this clarifies issues about 'Kemi Adeosun's innocence.
