Simple questions deserve simple answer. But with Nairalanders, diverse is the case. Everybody suddenly becomes a mouthpiece and some sorts of generic entity.

Is marriage an achievement?
My answer: Yes, it is to me. I love children and I can't wait to get married to have them.

The happiness one gets from a happy home and a fulfilling marriage is second to none.

Bros chill it's not a closed ended question

Detty December on a budget.
If you don't have fun this December, wetin you gain?

My music heads in the office tell me that the term ‘Detty December’ was coined a couple of years ago by Banku music pioneer and Afropop star, Oluwatosin Ajibade, who is popularly referred to by his stage name Mr Eazi.

Detty December means basking in the Christmas and end of year celebrations, partying at nightclubs, attending concerts and shows, taking as much booze as you can, emptying your bank account if you must--just to have fun, hanging out with friends, watching as many movies as you can, visiting fun places in the country and abroad, eating plenty of food, trying things you normally won’t try from January to November and generally taking a break from work, because in January, you’d be ready to go again.

Bodi is not fayawood.

This time last year, Joan was in school like many of her peers preparing for their semester examinations and building up the excitement in anticipation of the coming festive season. At the time, little did Nigeria know that the phrase ‘detty December’ would be the order of the day as people were getting in to the partying, celebration and relaxation mode.
By the middle of November, the internet quickly started getting flooded with videos and pictures of individuals flexing and getting ready to spend money more lavishly as everyone was pretty elated to see a long year come to an exciting end. More importantly, people were hopeful for a much better and booming 2020.

Meanwhile, 2020 has undoubtedly been a spiral of shocking events which has thrown lots of people off balance. So, what should we anticipate for the end of the year?
Will this Christmas season be another replication of Detty December or a much more frugal pattern given that many persons have lost a lot this year, spanning from loved ones to cherished earnings and assets?
The year 2020 began with the escalation of the coronavirus lockdown which led to a 4-months lockdown across the world.

Just when we thought it was over and everyone was still trying to recover from the COVID-induced death plague, the cry of #JusticeforUwa who was gang raped in a Redeemed Church in Edo state, #Justiceforbarakat who was violated at her family house in Ibadan, #JusticeforTina and other ladies who have been physically and unjustly abused, trended in search of enforcing justice through national laws.
Next was the #Blacklivesmatter movement which surfaced when George Floyd was unjustly killed by a Minneapolis police officer called Derek Chauvin, sparking a global non-violent protest against police brutality and discrimination of black people.


Although these global trends have very much impacted Nigeria in diverse ways, Africa’s biggest giants has had its fair share of turbulence as inflation has been rising for the past 2 years from 11.23% in August 2018 to 13.71% in September 2020.
However, a popular Economist named Steve Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics at American Ivy League University, United States, has confirmed common perceptions that the actual reality of difficulties faced by Nigerians is greatly downplayed by official reports due to the highly informal and poorly organised data collection mechanisms.

Asides recently putting Nigeria’s inflation at around 30%, Hanke states that unemployment has more than tripled to 27%, that is, 21.7 million unemployed persons out of the over 200 million total population. When layered with the electricity shortage, bad roads, terrible traffic, Nigeria is sadly one of the most miserable countries to live in.
This is in addition to the most recent event that seems to top the economic dilemma of Africa’s most populous nation in form of the #EndSARS movement which rocked Nigeria’s quest for revolution and demand for a better Nigeria in opposing police brutality. Sadly, this led to the unwarranted death of an unknown number of Nigerians as men in uniform were seen shooting the protesters at Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020.

Currently, schools which have not had physical attendance for most of the year due to resorting to online classes during the lockdown, are gradually resuming academic activities now that the country has ended the curfew that followed the #EndSARS protest.
Can any more havoc possibly be wrecked upon Nigeria over the next few weeks? We really hope not because Nigerians are rather drained in surviving through the numerous hardships imposed by a failed system on us already.
Although the pockets of many Nigerians are still very tender as this year appears to be chaos-filled, will Nigerians be able to be extravagant in satisfying their heart desires or will the worsening socioeconomic condition of Nigeria overshadow?

Taking a trip down memory lane, December has always been a period where prices (including food, transport and other essential commodities) drastically escalate and fuel scarcity tends to trouble Nigerians.
These trending issues threaten to stand as a roadblock to many Nigerians like Joan who seek to spoil themselves and relax after a very stressful long year in 2020 especially given the already persistent trend of rising inflation, unemployment and poverty levels.
For instance, on the average, travelling by road from Lagos to Abuja by God is Good motors, the young shall grow and other transportation mediums cost about N6k-N8k. But by December 2019, this price had spiked to N15k-20k. The same thing cuts across airplane flights and pretty much anything that involves spending money.

If this is to happen, then the next question is, will Nigerians be able to afford this? Undeniably, the woes of the nation will definitely eat into excessive spending habits but then, Nigeria has always been known as a consuming nation and that is not going to change overnight, particularly since the general culture is to prioritise the festive season.
Most persons all over the world are given to travelling home for Christmas as this is often the opportunity to spend quality time with family, and this includes the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, who do not joke with travelling to their village for festivities.
So, despite the projected rise in inflation, most Nigerians will still want to find a way to enjoy the yuletide season to the best of their ability even if it means draining their accounts, especially going by the popular phrase, “I cannot come and kill myself”. However, Nigerians will be significantly constrained given the prevalence of shallow pockets and low-income levels among other difficulties.

Sexual purity is not restricted to just a day in a year, it is an act worth practicing every passing day with cautious effort.

Keep your bodies holy because it is the dwelling place (temple) of the Holy Spirit.

If you're struggling with any sexual sin, call on God for help and avoid all act or company that might lure you into it again.

God bless you all.

Not good news at all. Must he marry now, can't he wait and have shop first. If he is living in rivers where rain falls for seven consecutive days , no market be that children will suffer
You know this society is not working. you are managing to exist. eating from hand to mouth. struggling to make a living.

you find a partner in similar or worse situation like you and for love or other selfish reason, choose to get married and bring a child into this world.

A child that would be forced to struggle like you.
To use him as cheap labor in your farm ?
As a secondary source of income e.g bride price,child hawking
As bragging right among your peers?
So you can flex your authority and power on him/her

Why? so that when you get old you will guilt trip them into taking care of you with words like
” after ,bringing you into this world
after all I have done for you.

you think because you brought him to this miserable world,he owes you his life.
what did you do for him? you starved him, no tertiary education, no comfortable bed.

AF if it is compulsory for one to own a child.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria will on Friday, November 13, 2020 take on Sierra Leone in their third game of the group stage of the 2021 Africa Cup Nation (AFCON) qualifier.

Gernot Rohr and his boys have been in camp since Monday, November, 9 to prepare for the game while the Sierra Leoneans have been in Benin since Wednesday, October 11.

Time of game

The game which will be played at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin will kick off at 5 pm on Friday 13th November 2020
Where to watch

SuperSport on DSTV where we have been watching most of Super Eagles games in the last five years will not be broadcasting the game.

Pulse can, however, confirm that AIT has been trying to set up their transmitters at the stadium and is very likely to be the only station to broadcast the game.

Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) is making last-minute plans to broadcast the game but time seems to be running out on them.

was killing and burning part of your agenda?

Because you and your government hijacked the whole idea with paid thugs which you and your government treated as princes and carried in public SuVs.

I hope the stupid and backward notherners can see the idea behind the #EndSars, #EndPoliceBrutality protest?

Loveurneighbour:

Hmmm!! Pls choose any of these qualities that u think Nnamdi Kanu lack?
The Characteristics & Qualities of a Good Leader
1. Integrity.
2. Ability to delegate.
3. Communication.
4. Self-awareness.
5. Gratitude.
6. Learning agility.
7. Influence.
8. Empathy.
9. Sacrifice

If you saw the interview with Dele Momodu he stated clearly that he's not interested in Nigeria's politics rather he's pushing for self determination.

Loveurneighbour:
Instead of Jonathan, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu may be an option

In other words it's not possible

You can not deny that El-rufai is intelligent, Hard working and an astute administrator. He had made his mark at BPE, FCT and now as Governor of Kaduna state. Who is Aisha Yusufu, What is her contribution to Nigeria apart from BBOG and Endsars protest. What else has she done to improve the lives of nigerians? Is her husband not being tried for embezzlement in the NHIS?

You notherners are just sick just to say the least

Arrewa:
Clout chaser!

Elrufai remain one of the best governor in Nigeria!


Elrufai is is fighting insecurity and at same time developing Kaduna State.

Same people blaming Buhari for the insecurity in Benue are blaming Elrufai for the insecurity in southern kaduna!

Bigotry is a disease!

Only bigots hate him!

Elrufai is outstanding!

More Grace Mallam!!

This's exactly why the dichotomy between people from your region and those from the south will keep increasing.
Forget your ethnic and religious bigotry, clamp on underperforming leaders and Nigeria will be a better place.

If Kanu had any sense he would know that Lagos will never be part of Biafra

I can make bold to say that you're daft because MNK never mentioned Lagos been a part of Biafra.
He listed out 11southern states and 2north central states.
Werey watch the interview.

At least 20bodies of EndSARS protesters massacred at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos by operatives of the Nigerian Army on October 20, 2020, were on Friday secretly moved to the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) mortuary in Yaba.


SaharaReporters gathered that the Lekki massacre victims were moved to the IDH mortuary after a postmortem examinations was conducted on their bodies at the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.


The IDH mortuary is beside the 68 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital (68 NARHY), a military health facility in Yaba.


SaharaReporters recall that soldiers had last week Tuesday opened fire on the protesters, who had converged at the Lekki Toll Gate to protest against police brutality.

The incident triggered a global outrage, with calls for justice echoing from different parts of the world.

It was gathered that before the shooting started, some officials uninstalled the Closed Circuit Television cameras in the area.

The electricity at the protest area was also disconnected to prevent demonstrators from filming the attack.

Minutes later, heavily armed Nigerian Army personnel moved into the scene to complete the plan.

By the time sounds of their guns died down, dozens of protesters had been killed.


Though Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, blamed ‘forces beyond our control’ for the attack, the Army in a statement later revealed that the soldiers were invited to the scene of protest by the governor.

Also soldiers involved in the operation confirmed they were drafted in for the mission on the request of the governor.

The soldiers, who were deployed from 65 Battalion, Bonny Camp, Victoria Island, Lagos, told some victims’ relatives after dumping some of the injured and dead at MRS Hospital that they were sent by Sanwo-Olu.

While the governor insisted that there were only two recorded deaths and no bloodstain at the scene of the protest, military sources told SaharaReporters that no fewer than 30 protesters died as a result of the shooting.

Meanwhile, a human rights advocacy group, Amnesty International, has released a timeline of the Lekki shootings, which it said followed an on-the-ground investigation into the incident.

In the timeline published on Wednesday, the rights groups said it uncovered how soldiers from Bonny Camp opened fire on protesters.


The new timeline of the incident chronicled from how the protest was peaceful, through the firing of gunshots, and up to the statement from Governor Sanwo-Olu that the army was responsible for the shooting.


Amnesty International said its investigation had confirmed that the Nigerian Army and police killed peaceful protesters in Lagos.
