BigBashiru: Those boats are disasters and tragedies waiting to happen
..... Bros local fisher men use canoes built with bare hands..... None of them have recorded disasters in the past... What makes you think going a step further will result in disasters? Are you telling me that the whole speed boats in Lagos / Nigeria are imported? How many times have you heard of speed boat accidents and they confirm that the boats were made in Nigeria? If you can't appreciate the little the locals have done, it's best not to even comment.... Keep your opinions to yourself rather than infecting people with your negativity...... The American made or German made vehicle wen you dey drive, if its so safe and secure, why do people still die of accidents every single day?
....... So many idiots coming from all parts of Nigeria these days..... Kanu from the east.... Shekau and from the north.... Igboho from the west..... Na only south never get idiot wen dull like these ones...... We dey wait until one go show up make we know say them don complete
...... Carry microphone and go to aso rock to tell the whole of Nigeria that the government made a mistake using the word manufactured instead of locally assembled.... Apart from the Yamaha outboard engines, tell me what the boat has that can't be made in the country....... Learn to appreciate good things...... Even if its just a little bit
....? Show us one thing you have contributed to the development of this nation...... Person make boat, government buy you dey ball am mediocrity as if e get one good thing wen u do wen Nigerians go take remember you
Mrskillz1: I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.
I grew up seeing my Mom mad. By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school. I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried. But my brother was still mad.
I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital. I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.
So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will. Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal. I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.
Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.
Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused. Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday. My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house. I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this! I'm so unhappy.
Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.
...... For the first time in my life I am short of words...... First of all, I want to say God will bless you for sticking by your family...... Others would have to given up a long time ago.... Secondly I want to encourage you to be strong..... Don't give up on them.... There is still hope in God....... While you are praying on your own and seeking seeking medical help, I suggest you hook up with this nspps or so on YouTube...his name is pastor eno........ What God is cannot do doesn't exist........ God bless you and I join my faith with yours to declare healing upon your brothers..
..... An American will see a wild animal close to his house, he will call the authorities and capture the animal, then release it back into the wild...... A Nigerian man will go into the wild to kill a wild animal for food...... How this life take balance?
CountVersailles: Maybe "confront" is the wrong word to use here, but let me explain.
My brother and I had been sharing an apartment for a few months before he got married. He recently left to take a separate place with his new wife, who I'm friends with. No issues between us. Since my brother left I have been staying in the old apartment alone and paying the rent all my myself. Now, my brother's wife who is quite sensitive about their finances thinks that my brother is still paying for the apartment. This is because he was the one paying before, since he had been staying there for months before I moved in.
Now, I can understand her concerns. The reason she is thinking this is because, 1. I am not working, and she knows. So, she cannot believe I can pay for the apartment which is quite expensive 2. she knows my brother was the only paying before I moved in.
She doesn't realize I have taken over the payment since last two months, and has been nagging my brother to stop paying for the apartment even after he insists he is no longer paying. Maybe, she thinks he's lying to him.
I hate that this is going on. Maybe it's my ego, but I feel like talking to her directly and telling her that her husband is no longer paying for the apartment. Is this something I should do?
...... Bros the energy when you Wan take confront her, channel am into looking for a job.... Na see finish be wetin she dey do so....if you get job she no go dey reason say na your bro dey pay for house wen only you dey stay..... No worry all will be well... One day you go prove to her with your actions say you dey capable of paying your own rent........ Peace!
AllenSpencer: Seems you have a problem with comprehension. What was the essence of "Their is still more room for improvements"
Criticism is the mother of perfection.
..... There is still room for improvement doesn't translate to appreciation........ You made almost a whole page of criticism and ended it with a line of there is still room for improvement..... Such criticisms never encourage anyone...... If you want your criticism to be effective, it should first start with appreciating the little the person have done.......
AllenSpencer: From the picture, 1. Framework is bad 2. The cooling fins is absolute gibberish, more of a design than its actual functionality. 3. The grip seems to be made of plastic, or a slippery material. The actual essence of that part was not functional in design. 4. Trigger loop is too wide for an automatic rifle by few millimeters 5. Wide gap between barrel jacket and hand guard,. Its accuracy would definitely have wide errors, except used by exceptional professional 6. The butt is outdated and not handy.
............. Their is still more room for improvements
...... Appreciate the little they have done...all you have said so have is criticize them and not even a word of appreciation....... The precision weapons the western world brandish about every day wasn't achieved in a single production..... It took years of hard work, revisions and modifications to get to where they are today..... Rome wasn't built in a day...... If you can do better, open your own factory or offer to work for them and make better guns!
orohbiro: Good day my fellow nairalanders, my sister and this guy has been dating for 4 years now he use to work in a company but lost his job 2yrs ago since then he had been a parasite to my sister coming to our house to eat our food two times a day.
There is this new guy who asked my sister out. He is gentle and he has a good job, he is a Christian he has his own house, we all like him. I have been begging my sister to give him a try because he is ready for marriage unlike the other guy who has no hope of taking good care of my sister rather sucking my sister dry.
My sister seems to love the broke guy more but that guy is not a serious person for 2 good years he can't look for a job not even a menial job. If my sister mistakenly marries the broke guy she will suffer in the marriage because all the responsibility will be on her head. Gidforbid!
Please how do I convince my sister to focus on this other guy that is comfortable? I want the best for my sister.
...... Focus on your life and leave your sister to do what makes her happy...... Because the new guy get job and get house you Don conclude say na him be the best thing wen happen to your sister...... How you take different from the gold diggers wen them dey always talk about for nollywood movies? When her other boyfriend of 4 years had a job did you think like this? No go face your life make you marry your own.... Dey find another person life wen you go dictate..... Your sister clearly has more sense than you and knows that throwing away 4 years of her life because of money isn't worth it........ That he doesn't have today doesn't mean he won't have tomorrow...... As a real guy man, you should try and join him to look for a job instead of coming to naira land to call him jobless and down grade him...... Did you offer him a job opening and he refused to work? My friend, leave your sister to live her life and focus on yours!

samwriter: I fought with one thug guy that normally insult my mother. I was beating really bad. he use iron to hit me on my face and my face is swollen. I have been pressing it since morning the face is still swollen. Is there any drug I can take to return my face to normal and how can I fight like a thug somebody help because I need to revenge
...... Bros serious? Person beat you the first time and u Wan go back for revenge?..... My advise is, treat yourself really well, gather small money, go army barracks and lay complaints.. Carry some army go meet am and after them drill am, he go write undertaking say nothing go do you or your family member as long as he lives.... Alternatively na confra guys go fit help you run am but this option no dey advisable because e fit escalate..... As for fighting back, bros I don't advise you to
wonder233: Oga no ransom for kidnappers. This "if they were your children" line you people use in justifying empowering these terrorists to do even more has to stop.
..... So why did the USA government not leave their citizen to be killed because they don't negotiate with terrorists? Just one citizen and they sent a rescue team to Nigeria..... Now think about what will happen if 17 of their citizens are kidnapped on Nigerian soil...... Do you think they will sentence them to death the way you're advocating for our government to leave these kids to their fate?
baralatie: the people are book haram members they will ultimately kill them. shey you know
...... Sir I don't know because I am not a kidnapper..... What I do know is that those kids deserve a chance to live just like you and I....... Condemning them to death without even trying a rescue operation will not change the security situation of Nigeria........ Many of kidnapped people have been killed in captivity, did kidnapping stop? No..... So what makes you think it will stop if these 17 kids are killed? If these kids were American kids, will they sanction them to be killed or leave them to their fates?
DEXTROVERT: 1. face the bandict Fire for fire and kill them all
2. Dont pay ransom
They even collect ransom And still kill the victims
Its obvious, Security apparatus have been compromised So, option 1, will never work to eliminate kidnappers. Infact, the more you pay, the more they buy weapons The more they kidnapp, and more joins, cos it becomes lucrative
Option 2, they will kill victims And get frustrated with kidnapping No more money to recruit and rearm So kidnapping dies naturally, same was done in Italy
Advice is to do both Dont pay ransom and face them I support El rufai on this
...... Quick question sir, if your son or daughter was among those kidnapped, will u make this same suggestion? Basically what you are advocating for is that the students 17 of them that are left should be left to their fate even though we all know they will most likely end up dead like the other 5..........now, sentencing those innocent students to death, how does it solve anything? One American was kidnapped the other day, they sent their military to rescue him and ur was done without negotiating with the terrorists and many of the terrorists ended up dead but now it's a Nigerian life, you're advocating we should forget about them while we face the terrorists..... Why can't we make an attempt to rescue those students alive or better still request assistance from nations who can be of help........ Bros this your suggestion is inhumane and I am 100 percent sure it's because non of your family members is among those kidnapped. ..
Chukwute: Dirty looking Igbo smoker, stop blaming people, go and work — Timaya blast Eedris Abdukareem
Following the release of a diss track targeted at Festus Keyamo, ace musician Timaya has come out to condemn Eedris Abdulkareem.
Focus Naija can report that “Senior Advocate of Nonsense” is a follow up diss track against the minister of state for labour and employment.
According to Timaya, he was a back up singer for Eedris Abdulkareem for many years but was never paid for his services.
“I was your back up artist and you did not appreciate me. You regarded me like a nobody, I paid my transport to your shows because I was learning. You have never paid me one day. You disregard people, how many people don blow through you”, the Dem Mama crooner asked.
“Where are all the people that were with you before? You come on social media, where the f**k are you? Don’t blame people, Go and work. Dirty looking Igbo smoker“
I had a decent job before I met her and I was responsible for all the decisions I took, which mostly led to favourable outcomes. However when I met her and began a relationship, I wasn't having the freedom I needed. Any decision I wanted to take without her authorization always ended badly. For example there was a period I wanted to jointly rent an apartment with a male friend of mine. She strongly opposed this but I still went ahead to pay rent. Unfortunately for me, within four months my friend had some issues with landlord and we were both evicted from the apartment. (although I got compensated)
Another instance was when I got paid some bonuses from company and decided to invest in some crypto projects during their ICOs (in 2017). I did some market analysis of these crypto projects before my decision to invest, only for her to advice me against it. She said we should instead, use the money to start farming. I didn't listen to her and went ahead to invest. THE RESULT: the investment that was supposed to take me to the moon now became more worthless than tissue paper! I shed tears because of this.
I now decided to get rid of her, but all plans of mine proved abortive. The more I tried to get her out of my life, the more we were brought together. Can you believe that the day I finally proposed to her was the very same day I tried to make out with an old girlfriend?
A friend of mine went to consult an ifa priest, who told him that my fiance has a cloud of good fortunes around her. But I don't believe in those spiritual mumbo-jumbos! I was determined to leave her. This made me begin applying for jobs in other states and towns, but nothing came forth. I even went for interview/test but didn't scale through. Some weeks later, she told me that she wasn't in support of me getting job in another town (she says she was scared of losing me).
Did you know? the time I decided to remove the thoughts of leaving her from mind and fully accept her into my life, was the time that I finally got a better job in another city!
MARRIAGE We got married in 2019 and I was of the mindset that since she may be an ogbanje, therefore things would work in my favour and I would become a millionaire very quickly, but that's not the case.
Since marriage, any decision I take without her approval always leads to disaster! I wanted to invest in a partnership deal and told her about it but she disapproved and said I should save the money instead. I went ahead to invest and I lost 400k! Same for other decisions in the house, the outcome was always negative whenever I don't heed her advice.
I hate all this! I'm a full grown man. Why should my life be based on the decisions of a woman? I feel like I'm no longer in control of my life. I'm about to take a car loan from my company in order to escape this constant public commute and trekking but she has vehemently disapproved, that I should instead save for another year or two before buying car. But I still won't listen to her! If the loan ends in a disaster, I have decided that I would abandon this marriage and relocate to another country. A country where voodoo and religious mumbo-jumbo do not exist, so that I can be in full control of my life!
.......PS: we have a year old baby girl. Maybe I could be sending monthly upkeep from this new country I intend to relocate to.
Able readers, is my final decision a good one?
...... It's like you're from Sudan because a rugged Nigerian guy won't speak this way...... Your wife loves you and you're saying what? She loves you and her spirit wants you to always have her in your plans for things to work and you're saying what? Bros if you know you didn't love her enough, it would have been better to take the risk and leave her for a more loving man than getting married to her and now you wanna leave her with her child making her a single mother..... Now I see why there are many single mothers around....... You don't need any advice because you have already advised yourself.... My only advise to you is that you have given yourself a wrong advise and you should refrain from it..... Love that woman, make her and your kids central to your plans and life will be well with you...... Have a blessed month of May sir.....
matrixme: Even though this is enough evidence that Baba Ijesha is guilty as charged, but in the real sense of it, the real sexual act didn't ensue as there was no evidence of penetration. Can lawyer's interpret the implication of this video for us?
..... So u want make he penetrate her before you know where this dumb act of his go lead to abi? If that girl is your daughter, will you allow her get penetrated before you act?
bluebay: Heart breaking video but truth been told, That girl sha looks older than 14 years old and moreover, Any who like woman a lot, can fall for such trap coz with the look of things, the girl was asked to sit close to the man when no one is at home and on a norms, it’s not done anywhere, for a 14year old girl to sit with a man on same sofa when no one is home .... that doesn’t mean the man won’t be punished for his act, but not as a rapist but a molestor...
.... So let me ask you sir, if your 14 years old sister sit close to you, you can't control yourself even if she's she's naked? He's both a rapist and a molester and should be treated as such...... Even in advanced countries, a 14 years is regarded as a minor and incapable of independent decisions!
