Travel › Re: Relocating From Lagos To Ilesha, Please I Need Advices From People Based There. by Glocal1: 5:31am On May 16, 2025
OlaMojee:
I am also thinking of moving to Ilesha from Lagos. I got a job offer at the uni in Ilesha.. I don't know a person neither do I have family there.. please is it a good offer I shouldn't loose? How do I do the accommodation and how's the lifestyle for a beginner... If anyone has an idea about the job and accommodation very close to work and not costly also but convenient for a lady who stays in a 3 bedroom flat with a sister and brother in Lagos.
Ilesa is a calm town with normal lifestyle. I don't know if the school now has hostel accommodation but I know you can never be stranded since it's a student community. There are private hostels around the school.

The school is state-owned and your job offer should state the terms and conditions for you to decide whether to accept it or not.

You are welcome to Ilesa, the town of the entrepreneurial ones.
Car Talk › Re: What Will You Do If You Were In My Position? by Glocal1: 2:39am On May 14, 2025
HelenaWills:
While it was being driven to my place.
Overheating happened and it damaged the four coils.
There right there, I spent above 250k fixing radiator, automated dashboard, four coils, plugs, oil gauge stick, mobil oil, gasket and some stupid things.

They fixed it, and it worked for a few minutes till it broke down again and I had to change filter and fuel pump with some minor things because car won't move. After a while... it moved again then stopped. This time it was the kick but before they figured it out.
I learnt the roadside Kazeem had almost pieced the car in search of a fault that wasn't there.

While we were on this, I decided to replace the steering pump and rack because the steering had become stiff and so difficult to turn. This cost some fortunes.

Mind you, like play like play, this car had spent about 3 months at different locations. I got tired at this point and decided to leave it under bridge in Ojuelegba where I was asked to pay #400 per day but begged for #200. It was there from December till last month.

I was told it overheated again while moving from God knows where to Ojuelegba and I needed to replace the coils all again.
Let's no forget there were different electrical issues that I can't even list out because I don't even know what to call them.
But now, the gear is making one annoying and disturbing sound and they are asking for an arm and heart to fix it. It will be one year by next month and car hasn't made it to my house.
It can't even go beyond 25Km/h nor can it climb hills.
Very frustrating.
Didn't you test-drive the car during inspection before payment?
Your mechanic is the culprit here.
He must have connived with the seller to rip you off.
Stop spending on the car and sell it as scrap or let the professionals in auto section of nairaland help you fix it.
Politics › Re: EFCC Arrests Fred Ajudua In Abuja by Glocal1: 2:20am On May 14, 2025
Dogalmighty17:
Gen Z in the house, gather around the table let me regale you with tales of the most prolific Nigerian fraudster, Fred Ajudua.

See kids, before yahoo, there was yahoo. Fred was and still remains a legend in this regard. The kind of heist he and his men pulled is so phenomenal. Fred put the ya in yahoo. Imagine that they locked him up in prison and right there in prison, he scammed one of the most brutal army generals Nigeria has ever had. General Bamaiyi. A prisoner scamming another prisoner. Fred scammed Bamaiyi of 8.4 million dollars right there in prison!

Fred is extremely smart and suave. He has the gift of garb. That's why Emmanuel Nwude, another big time fraudster and a former executive director of Union Bank, sought his services. Together, the sold a non existent airport to a Brazilian bank for 242 million dollars over 22 years ago. This was done using just a fax machine. No internet, no mobile phones outside thuraya satellite phone, were in existence then.

Oh! A movie has to be made of this. Fred and Nwude were very elaborate. They invited the Brazilians to London, lodged them in the best hotels, hired limousines to chauffeur them around town, took them to the best clubs and spent money like nothing. That wasn't all.

They invited the Brazilians to Nigeria. Right from the Lagos airport, Fred and Nwude paid just about every person that the Brazilians would come in contact with at the airport. They even hired people to be around the airport to greet Fred and Nwude as extremely wealthy guys. It didn't end there.

NNPC headquarters in Lagos then, was another staging area they used. Nwude, had the Brazilians follow him to the very top floor of the building. He took them to the NNPC boardroom. Paid NNPC staff and hired actors all around the building were greeting Nwude like a boss. The air of confidence Nwude walked into the towers with and the way the paid staff and hired actors showed respect to Nwude, further lulled the Brazilians.

It was right in that NNPC that the Brazilians, thinking they were signing a deal of a lifetime, agreed to transfer 242 million dollars to an escrow account Nwude provided.

Mind you as at then, no Nigerian bank had a capitalisation of 100 million dollars. So that was enough money to bounce the bank.

The Brazilians, excited, went back to their country. When the call to inspect the non existent airport they bought was not forthcoming, that's when they got apprehensive and got the authorities involved.

This singular scam that Fred and Nwude pulled, is the reason why we have EFCC today. Even Obasanjo as president then, could not comprehend this kind of criminality.

Fred never stopped scamming. He enjoys it and does so for fun. He later went on to become a member of the house of reps before his criminal nature caught up with him and he got sent to prison in Nigeria. His son, used to be Davido's lawyer until Davido dropped him.

What about the Brazilian bank he scammed? Well, the bank collapsed and some of its executives commited suicide. Not a kobo of that money was recovered.
When found guilty, he should have been compelled to return the money to the victims and then thrown into jail forever.
Capital punishment should be established against yahoo crimes, to stem it's tide in Nigeria.

I see people talking about fuel consumption and I wonder why my car consumes fuel like winch.

Someone is saying 8 liter for 100km I wan die, how do you all achieve that?
Sango to Oshidi to and fro my car has drank almost half tank.

When I scanned it it said something about catalyst efficiency bank 1 and 2.
Also it said something about a leak.
What brand of car do you drive and what's the year of manufacture, engine capacity?

Christianity Etc › Re: Apostle Arome Osayi Stopped Preaching Because Phones Rang! Pride Or Discipline? by Glocal1: 7:15pm On Nov 17, 2024
Daejumong:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOfx1cvdzoQ?si=S9lCJdM2zDXvrKOC

Apostle Arome Osayi stopped preaching and left the pulpit because phones rang in the church ! Is this pride or spiritual discipline? Did Jesus stop preaching despite the noise of the crowd? Would Arome have done same if he was in secular job ? Was he disrespectful to the congregation that came to church to listen to him?

Arome is a guy I respect and as a fellow comrade in the vineyard of Christ, I believe this was excessive and unfair to the congregation who came out to listen to you. I encourage you to take time to self reflect and publicly apologise to your church members ! This is very important because many younger pastors and Christians look up to you and see u as a father!

Anger prevented Moses from reaching the promise land. He was also disobedient because 99.5% obedience is still disobedience.
The man could have rebuked the people and go ahead with the service.

May we be counted worthy in the kingdom of God.

I didn't hear the conversation that ensued between the duo, therefore it's difficult to adjudicate this matter.

Anyways, the duo should have been more civilized in their approach of dealing with the issue.

Liverpool should stop conceding early goals.
Look at the way Arsenal held City confidently on their own ground.
We should win our home and away games without conceding needlessly onward.

God1000:
Considering the high cost of building materials today in Nigeria, how much should one budget for such project.
Can people also suggest modifications or adjustments in the structure or components that can reduce the cost of this project.
For example using flat roofing to reduce quantity of wood and zinc.

Use of blocks instead of pillars.
Use of cheaper but good substitute building materials, and so on.

Man United defended so well today by parking the bus all through 90 minutes.
It was a wise decision by their Manager not to counter-attack Liverpool, else the outcome might have been different.

Liverpool, however, have to work on their attack if the really want to contest the EPL title this season.
I can't imagine this result at Anfield, despite resting the players since last week.

A draw is better than a loss but the attack has to be lethal to be able to contend for the title this season.
It seems these Liverpool players have lost their winning attitude.

What's wrong with our defence,especially the right back, and goalkeeping today?
Nunez should be courageous enough to score goals and not always pass the ball to Salah

I hope Fulham will not be allowed to cause another upset today.
Crime › Re: NDLEA Raids Osun Illicit Drug Party Tagged Unholy Alliance, Arrests Organisers by Glocal1: 5:07pm On Nov 29, 2023
Jakumo:
This is a highly informative writeup about a truly dangerous drug that I am hearing about for the first time. There is yet another even more insidious drug that is widely used to rob unsuspecting men by hookers in South America, whose name I will NOT mention here, because if this drug arrives in Nigeria, it WILL be used by criminals, and that would be very bad news since the drug will kill if applied in an overdose quantity.

The drug to which I refer is derived from the flowers of a tree that would easily grow in Nigeria, which is why the NDLEA must educate itself about the effect and appearance of the tree whose flowers are used to manufacture this particular drug, which is typically processed into a white powder. Now, the element that sets this particular drug apart from ALL other deadly drugs is that in small dosages, the drug produces NO visible effects on the victim's behavior or speech that can be identified by an untrained observer. This means that in small doses, the victim is able to walk and talk as though nothing is amiss, while at the same time that victim will obey ANY instruction given to them by ANYBODY who knows about the mental state of that person under the influence.

The reason this drug is so dangerous is that it completely neutralizes the victim's ability to disobey instructions given by ANYBODY. That said, since the dosage can easily be overdone, brain damage and death are also likely outcomes of ingesting this drug, whose effect is highly desired by criminals seeking to empty the bank accounts of their victims. A typical scenario where a person could fall victim to this drug would be for a man to hire a hooker, only for her to produce a small amount of the powdered drug in question, and blow that powder into the face of her victim, who will then become her willing and obedient servant awaiting instructions that generally include heading to the ATM machine to empty the entire content of his bank account by installment over a few days during which the there may be repeat applications of the drug.

It is not uncommon for victims of this drug to take criminals to their homes, and actually assist those criminals in carrying out their personal belongings and cash from their homes, without a care in the world all due to the effects of that drug. Many victims are finally killed by repeat applications of the drug, by which time the criminals have generally taken everything of value that they can find in the victim's possession, all with the full conscious cooperation of the drugged victim. If this particular drug reaches Nigerian shores in the future, the implications would be absolutely catastrophic, so one can only hope that Nigerian criminals NEVER learn about this naturally occurring compound whose effects are so subtle yet potentially devastating.
How are you sure the substance is not already being abused in Nigeria?

I think the tertiary institutions should subject all new entrants to drug test and HIV test before admission.

The menace of drug and substance abuse is really soaring in the country and the psychiatric wards won't be able to contain the victims.
