Be like say they never hear the lamentation of those Agulu Obi Elupeee people.

Na only for Naija I see where person wey come distant third go dey cry rigging.

In Nigeria someone that carried 4th have been declared governor before so it makes sense for the third position to complain about rigging.

I read an appeal court ruling banning VIO on the road from checking both private and commercial vehicles but these lots are still littered on the road! The ruling restricted them to their offices!


Why are they still littered on the road in Nigeria!

In Nigeria court ruling as this is regarded as merely an advice. The only ones obeyed are those that changes the votes of the people.

Private school owners dey cash out steady

And you dey here, dey type for Nairaland, you no open school make you join them cash out?

Most of you here are really funny. Nobody is talking of the schools folding up daily. Abi una think say the economy no reach their side? Most private school owners have other jobs they engage in. If the school was that profitable, you think they Will be doing something else? Sit down and think of any school Proprietress or proprietor you know that only rely on income from the school.

Those who are trying to disarm him by force did they follow due process?

What due process should be followed? The guy is an animal and deserved everything that came his way. The gun actually fired. That guy is very mad and should be checked if he is still balanced mentally.

I'm quite good with frontend, I know html, css, Javascript(To some Extent). I need a personal tutor Based in Lagos...Ikeja, Iyana Ipaja...Abule Egba axis to tutor me as I'm finding it diffult learning on my own.
Anyone developer/ Programmer that's quite good with Javascript/typescipt, React & node js & also available to teach should please signify in the comment section, so we can discuss price & other things in details.

You are not yet good with front end of all you know is HTML, CSS and JavaScript (to some extent). You still need to know some frame work like tailwind or Bootstrap. You also need to know react and then you need node.js and a host of other things.

GanagiBitrus:
Is there really any hope of fuel price being sustained at below ₦1000 per litre, when some Govt officials reason that lower fuel price will further encourage smuggling to neighbouring countries.

You have to be well connected to smuggle fuel out of Nigeria as of today. It is the same government official saying it will encourage smuggling that is smuggling the fuel. Tinubu and his deputy knows those that smuggle fuel. I would be very surprised if they don't know.

Atheists are not well before before

How many of them are bold to come out as an atheist, they always hide but have front row seats in churches while they practice their atheist online. Example is Seun, Seun is a very prominent member of RCCG, he can't even deny it.

Can you imagine the nonsense you are typing online. It is this type of statement that is causing unrest all-over the country. So if Atheist boldly come out, will you kill them? This is also why Christians are being killed in the northern part of Nigeria and nothing happens. Continue being happy for rubbish you post. It will always come back to haunt you.

fiercehillz:
We Nigerians are quick in using downgrading words to address simple issues.

Well, I am typing from Nigeria and I left my parents' house some 8 years ago...hmm , so cliche for most people on this platform to judge people they've never met before.

To address the issue of affordability. I know things are rough and I can recall that I rightly suggested that only medical experts on this platform should diagnose and prescribe medication for the said person. This should be at no cost.

Moreover, if you know the harm misdiagnosis has done in Nigeria you won't think twice but to second my opinion.

Remain blessed.

Shalom!!!.

Misdiagnosis has done a lot of damage. I'm sure we all know that. Even the op knows that. The issue here is many can't afford to visit the hospital. If you are in Nigeria and you claim you are old enough and you don't know that majority of the citizens cannot afford hospital bills then I don't know what else to say to you.

fiercehillz:
Please it will be nice if we can develop the culture of seeking professional medical help.

A lot of persons here could easily misdiagnose the aforementioned condition and this would worsen the situation.

However, for the purpose of interactive participation and based on the fact that NL is a forum, persons proffering solutions can state their medical qualification while they mention medical facts about these conditions.

Also, Prescriptions should strictly be done only by medical experts.

Non-experts can state their experiences and give words of encouragement.

Shalom.

I want to believe you are not typing from Nigeria or you are still staying under your parents. This might be why you don't understand the reality in Nigeria. Do you think if the dude can afford health care, he will be here?

Madman On Rampage At Ebonyi International Market, Raping, Molesting Both Old And Young Women

By Wisdom Nwedene, Abakaliki

There is a growing tension at a popular International Market located in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State Capital as a very energetic mad man is said to roaming the market, molesting both old and young women.

9News Nigeria correspondent gathered that the madman has been at the market sexually harrasing and molesting any woman he can grab at any given moment.

An eyewitness, Onyinyechi Ogah who witnessed the ugly incident and shared it on her Social Media said she was shocked after seeing the dastardly act by the mad man.

According to her, "today I witnessed one of the most heart wrenching scenarios at the Ebonyi State International market (Blue house), where foodstuffs are sold to be precise."

"A very energetic young mad man attacked an older woman, from my observation, this woman should be in her fifties. He held her by the arm, shook her violently, and would not loose his grip despite the woman's struggles and shouts from women around. He only let her go when a young man made to attack him with a wooden stool. He stepped back and seemed to derive pleasure from the woman's fearful experience."

"The women there then began to narrate to me how mad men roam around freely in the market molesting women whenever they found a victim. One narrated how, about two weeks ago, a mad man held and raped a girl who was about seven years old; she said that while he was at it, people attacked him, hitting him with anything they could find, but he still didn't let go until he had his fill...guess what, he is still roaming around unchecked, waiting for his next victim."

" No one knows the kind of emotional and psychological trauma the little girl would be facing now, not to talk of her physiological health. The same mad man was also reported to have also raped a young unsuspecting girl around St. Theresa's Catholic church Ogoja Road."

"For the past two months, there has been a very visible presence of mad people in Ebonyi State, and everyday the number seems to be on the rise."

" Is the State now a dumping ground for the unsound minds evacuated from other neighbouring states?".

"I ask this because the silence has now been inferred to mean acceptance of this current situation. This has made the public places to become unsafe for the average individual especially women and children going about their daily activities."

"One question that bugs my mind is, seeing that the international market is well fenced and gated, who lets the mad men in?."

" The group of young men who go around collecting market dues or taxes are only concerned about the money they get, they turn a blind eye on the insecurity. Why then are you taking money from poor market women when you cannot ensure that they conduct their trade in a safe and sane environment devoid of any form of assault."

"It's high time the Government of Ebonyi State takes a decisive stand and address this menace. The State ministry of environment should put in more work to see how to eradicate the disturbing presence of mad men in public places."

"A stitch in time saves nine. Our people have a saying inferred to mean that one does not throw stones in the market place. This issue should be addressed now, because we might just be saving your wives and daughters, because, dem no dey write big man wife for face, and even if you write am, mad man no fit see am."


Another eyewitness also lamanted the same thing and cried out to the state government for help.


According to him,"today at Ebonyi state International Market, while I was going from Lot 2 to lot 4 toward that axis that they sales yam, I saw a crowd of people."

"Some were chanting " mesieya ike mesieya ike" in excitement. I decided to go close to the crowd to know what's was actually going on."

" I saw a very beautiful fair tall lady with mini-skirt putting on a singlet with her nîpple boldly opened. Immediately my eyes just grasped it and I couldnt behold it. "

" She was on the floor crying. I imagined what could make a beautiful lady like her to be wéeping. I was patiently waiting only to see a màdman trying to penetrate the lady in a public. "

"She was helpless as the crowd was cheering the màdman. Her white singlet has stained already as the man tried to squeeze her bréàst. I couldn't help but to walk away."

"To this end, I think the Ebonyi state government should set a ministry to oversee the affairs of màd people in the society."

"They are In numbers in Abakaliki town roaming like a lion. They need rehabilitation and to be cared for and discriminated among the healthy one in the society."

As at the time of filing this report, efforts by our correspondent to get the reaction of the Ebonyi State government proved abortive as the message sent to the Governor's Special Assistant on New Media, Mr Leo Ekene Oketa was not replied.

The mad people are not from neighbouring states. They are from neighbouring countries. This started way back I think since the Buhari tenure. There is a cabal behind this business. I will just stop here. You can do your research and you will see how other neighbouring states solved this problem. The governor of the state should wake up to its responsibility since the federal government is sleeping.

bennybuhari:
I heard Tinubu has suspended it but I don't trust that man. He did so because of the public outcry. They will levy it codedly

Yes Tinubu has suspended it but this court case will clarify things for the future. There are a lot he said here that I didn't even know existed. Anything goes in Nigeria

The last sentence he said is true. What we have is foreigners ruling the state. Once their tenure ends they pack their bags and leave you in whatever misery they've put you in. However shuaibu was a serious disappointment. I had high hopes for him

God1000:
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.

According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians.
Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.


The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.


Happy Sunday nairalanders

You are even talking of Israel. What about Italy that houses Rome where the Pope resides? The number of Christians there is also shocking. We are not yet ready to be wise in Africa. It is very unfortunate that our forefathers (ancestors) are very much wiser than we are. It happened in our case that the glory of the former is now better than the latter

Both are incorrect in this context of expression meaning to be able to recite something.
Its. " by heart"

"I know it by heart"
,"I can say it by heart"
" I can recite it by heart".


Modified.

Those arguing with me go study about contextual and literal meaning. I can't help you biko.

This is directly from Cambridge dictionary. Read and educate yourself. Meanwhile English is not our language, we shouldn't argue over it. Let's put more effort on our individual languages. It's dying everyday.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/offhand




offhand
adverb
UK /ˌɒfˈhænd/ US /ˌɑːfˈhænd/

without looking for information and without thinking carefully; immediately:
I can't quote the exact statistics for you offhand, but they're there for you to see in the report.

This country Na cruise. I pray they don't kill this man when he arrives to the country

dominique:
After paying tens of thousands of naira and giving madam mandatory packs of drinks snacks and other stuffs, the apprentices are still subjected to inhumane working conditions. Those girls will be made to stand for the entire workday (apparently you cant learn while sitting), some are sent home to do house chores. After all that stress, madam will charge them an arm and a leg for graduation. If only these girls knew that there are design institutes that cost around what they were charged and they won't be treated like slaves.

Most people no longer learn these apprenticeship anymore. Especially here in Benin city Edo State.

Haters of this country are all quiet as cement price have crashed back to 5k-6k.


Haters of good news feel free to wail.

Tell us where you bought this. I bought cement bags yesterday at Benin city upper sokponba for 11k each.

TGM2015:
Seems Nigeria took the right decision anyway.

I knew the arrests in Nigeria was more of money laundering and weapon proliferation than dollars rate stabilisation.

No they didn't. If you have been following closely what has been happening with this Tinubu government, you will know Nigeria is already western aligned. Most decisions like these were sanctioned and sometimes authorised by the west. We know the atrocities of most oil companies operating in the south south. Why have their CEO not been arrested. The war with China is still on. Yesterday it was Tik Tik. Let them keep feeding you guys bullshit.

Franzinni:
Watch how Nigerian people will ridicule his efforts... But if he was a white man, heck even a yellow man is enough for them to give it a stamp of their approval.

This is tech we should take incredibly serious because it can even be used in many urban areas to identify individuals according to their profile.

It can be used for vehicle identification as well in case of theft , violations, security etc...

I'm also in the tech field so I know the effort he had put in to achieve this but the truth have to be said, Nigeria government does not need any AI to identify bandits and terrorist. They (the government) are the terrorist and bandits, and I mean this literally. The federal government knows every terrorist, bandits and smugglers that are terrorising Nigeria on a large scale. If the government does not know you as a terrorist then it means you just entered the business or you are inconsequential and are expendable.

bjdon:
Why do my Edo people always carry matter on their heads? Edo voted LP because they knew ACP and PDP had nothing to offer. It's for those who voted ACP to now come out and protest about what they voted for. Edo people should emulate the SE and just go about their business

How many people you see there? I'm in Benin now and if not for this thread I would not have known anything like protest took place

oz4real83:
As good as this sounds, the recruitment procedure must be given due diligence, state police must not be treated the same way some states have been treating state vigilante agencies where cultists loyal to the ruling party are the personnel or workforce , protecting the people and properties should be the central theme across board, not cult-wars .

I'm afraid, this is likely going to be the scenario in a place like Edo State for instance where even the deputy governor is a cultist. Worse still is that the governor's will not recruit enough personnel but they will recruit enough to manipulate elections. This so called state police will be rubbish. I'm just hoping the state police are not given the powers to prosecute otherwise we are about to witness another satanic era in Nigeria.

nairalanda1:
They still need two thirds in senate, states houses of representative and so forth

And they need to somehow show the states would be viable. In my opinion they won't because nigerians hate taxes

They might get the two third for senate. It is when they get to state houses that issues will arise.

Kaycee9242:
Hope they gave them money to support the business, mad people. They will still make policy that will kill those businesses

Businesses that they will kill with multiple taxation.

I am no expert with kids...

But I think sometimes it depends on how sharp the kid is.

But there is really no handout to these things.

Kids nowadays as quick.

Probably 4 years old... But not serious school. Those crèche whatever where they do those play things.

I told you am no an expert with kids!

You tried in your answer but 6 years old is the best time to start. There is nothing like sharp kids. There are a lot of scientific reasons for this. I don't want to delve into that now but you can google why the best time is 6years old.

Melagros:
I've predicted his fall before, but unfortunately I was attacked here severely

I'm sure those that attacked you are not from Edo State and is not aware of what is happening there. Any Edo State indigene knows that Shuaibu was just out to embarrass himself. After this tenure he is going to be seen as a gold digger that he is and these activities can damage his political life if he is not careful.

Rilwayne001:
And that's why I said Run to where?

You know what's funny? A similar scenario played out in 2002 in Lagos, when bombs started going off. I saw as the bombs were flying off from the cantonment and exploding wherever it hits, I saw fire and people running Helter skelta. Many people ran away from their homes and perished in the canal. Those that stayed back and resisted the urge to run away survived without a scratch. I don't pray to be in that Palestine situation but if I find myself there, I'm not sure I will run. My choice will either be to pick a gun and defend myself from the ground assault or to stay and die from the missiles.

crismark:
A whole Isreal dey fight battle with bombs and guns but in this our devilish Nigeria, they will tell you "leave am for God"

We are leaving it for God because we are largely unarmed. With the present crop of Nigerians we have, if you arm them you will see how ruthless they can become. I hope you know it is normal in Israel to see a girl moving around with an assault rifle.

Crude Oil Money really made Nigerian Tourism industry relax

Obudi Cattle ranch, Tinapa all this project are world class marvels

Nigeria have no business talking about tourism for now. You can't be talking of tourism in an insecured environment.

‘You Goofed’, Ex-Minister Dalung Accuses Tinubu Of Falling Into Trap Of Subsidy Racketeers


Former Minister of Sports and Youth, Solomon Dalung, has accused President Bola Tinubu of falling prey to fuel subsidy criminals. Dalung…





https://dailytrust.com/you-goofed-ex-minister-dalung-accuses-tinubu-of-falling-into-trap-of-subsidy-racketeers/

I want to believe this is fake News, otherwise Solomon Dalung that helped destroy the Buhari regime is also accusing Buhari of failure. Nigeria is a comedy series.

Googledotcom:
Will the new minimum wage affect private companies ?

It will affect private companies indirectly more than directly. The big private companies will effect the change while the smaller ones will be forced to effect the change when they start loosing staff so in other for the small ones to effect the change they will need to increase the price of the goods or services they render. Indirectly this policy will raise inflation.
