We have selective freedom of speech in this country.
If a commoner is attacking the vice like this, DSS, ICPC,EFCC, NPF, NAF, even JAMB and other funny acronyms that we have would've arrested that person.

By the way anybody noticed how irrelevant the tweets off this guy has become?

These phones are Photoshop into their hands.
Funny how companies pay celebrities to market their phones but the same people don't use such phones.

Even Samsung and HTC are guilty of these.

Gforce2015:
Your brother can not just marry an elderly person just for love. It's not possible. There are so many things attached. You have to sit him down and know what it involves. Obviously, the lady will be more intelligent than him and she might be playing an intelligent games on your brother.
But you have to caution him. Some of those ladies, the moment they have the children they are looking for, they will discard the guy. Your brother should be wise.
So many of them are on nairaland claiming feminist at the age of 38 no husband. There is even one I don't want to mention her user name she is so rude and awkward manner.

That someone that sounded so intelligent be filled with a backward thinking doesn't suprise me anymore. If the role were reverse and the man was older than the woman, you would be one of those giving thumbs up right? Am baffled at the way people still thinks in this age and time.

If they are in love, then none of you ( the op included) have to right to criticise or oppose their union.

Preciousgirl:
My 30 year old brother is going to marry a 43 year old woman. The woman is never married before and has no kids but been in 7 different past relationships.

I am not endorsing this, what do you advise?

And why do you think he needs your endorsement? Grow up my friend. This is not 1975.

So not that he was not guilty of the crime but he was freed because of technicality. The TV series Suits need to come learn from the thieves we call judges here.

Raising alarm or bringing the building down immediately?

We miss Ambode.

bring a building down without first testing to make sure?

My first take is, how can a nurse prescribe drugs without knowing what's wrong? What's the drug supposed to combat? Or its trial by error

Only in Nigeria i know drugs are prescribe without a result of what actually is wrong.

Micky002:
There is this scenerio i usually observe with my landlord and his children which always makes me curious and also raises unanswered question within me. This prompt me to post this here.

My landlord is idoma by tribe and has six grown up children, three boys and three girls. He should be in his late fifties or early sixties. Here is the issue.

This man despite having grown up boys and girls always do his chores by himself while the children will be lazying around engaging in trivial discussions. This man will wash his clothes by himself while his girls, the youngest being twenty years of age will be chatting with friends in the compound. This man will go to fetch water with kegs using a wheel barrow every morning while the boys will sit outside doing nothing.

Meanwhile the water he fetches is used by every member of the house. This man can go up to three to four trips while the boys will be busy arguing about Manchester United and Chelsea with friends.

What baffles me the most is that they see nothing wrong in this because the man doesn't complain and his wife, their mother is also witnessing everything.

My question now is, is this an acceptable norm in their (Idoma) culture? For a father to be doing the house chores while the children will be playing. I'm asking because where I come from, it is unacceptable.

busy body... How's it your problem? You want to take paracetamol for your landlord matter? Did he complain to you? Nigerians will never get their priorities straight. Better remove the wool in your own eyes.

That's putting the kids schooling in Lagos at a disadvantageous position compared to other states in the federation.

Bad market made this pastor desperate. No tithe no offering.

What else did you expect him to say. Boot licker politicians.

It has little to do with the weather right now. The countries with the higher numbers are either just reaching or at the peak of their curve. Energy country currently affected will get there as well. It's a matter of 2-3 weeks. And in Nigeria where social distancing is not being observed correctly, i see ours rising rapidly within a week or 2. So heat or cold every country will get there.

As educated as Dino is, to make such baseless claim without a verifiable study is disappointing. Making a video because he has a source(s) is totally wrong. This is not a story about govt officials embezzling money where a source would make sense. When you come up with such conspiracy theory like he had, he should provide study that support his point not source. Even if that source is a scientist.

Fear mongers everywhere and i won't be surprised if this propaganda was started by someone in Russia.

Fasting and praying...lol. Instead of investing in your state run university to help find a cure or vaccine to a virus you are doing praying. Manners falls from heaven right?
Waiting for others to find a cure. What's the use of having university?

nony43:
WHO officials on Monday said they still recommend people not to wear face mask, unless they are sick with convid-19, or caring for someone who is sick

was thinking about the usefulness of this mask to healthy people and can't come up with any. And these simple mask won't prevent anything. Don't our govt officials listen to international news and briefings from those that matters like WHO and Robert Koch institute?

freeman131:
I have noticed for about a year now that my Elder brother(age 29) who's a doctor masturbates for a living.

I started living with him in Abuja since April last year.

One night I had a strange nightmare so I decided to tell him about this but to my utmost surprise I caught him masturbating using a porn video in his laptop.

I was really shocked and as a caring younger bro I tried to confront him.

He told me that he's been battling with this act since his University days.

The surprising thing is that he's got a pretty girlfriend who loves him so much.

I had already advised him on seeking spiritual cleansing from our pastor, all to no avail.Now I feel really guilty knowing this and confused about how to make him stop this.

Should I inform my parents, pastor, siblings or his girlfriend?

Please I need constructive advice thanks.

why would you want to report him? Anything wrong with masturbating?

armadeo:
He announced it since Thursday.
So there was notice

ok. Thanks for confirming.

Was there a notice or are States just closing borders without given people enough time to move in either direction?

It's true he committed suicide but it has nothing to do with recession.

Notice how people that should know better are all testing positive. Politicians, government officials, university officials... Just because they can't keep a reasonable distance from one another and can't stop shaking each other's hands.

So if these people are so reckless how much more the common man on the street that doesn't know much about the virus especially how it's transmitted?

You see some of the elite with a face mask (ordinary kind) without hand gloves, and still not maintain the WHO stipulated distance to one another. The worse is yet to come for my country.
Now America is the world's largest affected country but at this rate it will soon be Nigeria or South Africa. But i pray am wrong.

otijah:
O boy these areas are majorly Igbos that control the markets. God guide your people

why bring tribadism into this? Don't get some of you.

NextD18:
Give him money to rent another apartment if you can't cope with him and his family in the same building.

Or better still, give him money for wedding expenses if you can't wait or exercise some patients till he's ready for wedding!

You are 24!
-Do you work?
-Are you a student?
-Are you learning any skill?
-Do you have any meaningful thing to boast of?

Who and what are you exactly to the society and what exactly are you impacting in his life to warrant such thoughts of pressurizing him into sending his families out and marrying you as soon as possible!!

Smh! Keep fvckin him with reckless abandon, until you get pregnant, then will you understand the gravity of your fvckery!!

No use your head now wey you young!
Kpata kpata you'll turn to a single mother and a feminist wannabe, nothing go still change! Men go still dey ball higher!
Ask single mothers and feminist wannabes how they ended up and if anything changed in their lives after ranting and hating on men.

You made some very good points but it made me wonder, why can't we give such advise in a way that the recipient won't feel belittled, insulted and mocked at? Is it an African thing?

The pic with people standing outside is that for real? because wearing those cheap face masks and not keeping the stipulated 1.5mtrs distance is contra-productive.

Believing the incompetent trump. In that same press conference he mentioned chloroquine, the doctors and scientists in his govt contradicted him. Next to this guy our dull president has a IQ 5 times greater.

People are just quick to pass judgement. Now she has spoken, and everybody is now a lie detector.

The only person that can debunk anything she said is the husband nay father of her children.

Rubbish. I was expecting to see minimum requirement university degree. To be a common cashier in a bank requires a higher level of education than to become president.

Sirjamo:
Nigerians always like to maintain status quo. Any good policy that is aimed to bring sanity and foster development, they would resist it just for their own selfishness.

In Holland, even billionaires use bicycles as a means of transportation. If you don't have a car and the buses aren't enough, get yourself a bicycle if your distance is not more than 5 miles.

wrong comparison. In Holland there're cut out and well marked roads for bike. We don't have such here.
That being said, I still believe the govt should enforce the restrictions better by arresting and prosecuting any offenders.

First public outcry they changed the name.
Second outcry they are scraping satellite station
Third public outcry they will change uniform.

But all the public wants is to scrap this criminals in uniforms.

Omo, the way OP packed up eh, person go think day na -10° for Greece.

Ogonimilitant:
The guy is really a comedian. You don't need to tell us your story. You are simply a chameleon

Complete bunch of baloney. You are a man without honour. You are defending yourself based on backlashes.

You have committed political suicide. If the Supreme Court had upheld this election, would you have defected?

When you saw all these you accused him of doing why did you not defect to APC?
you can cover up your lies. you are too cheap. because APC promised you money to help pass a law to
give land to Fulanis for Ruga.

You are greedy fellow. Because you are looking deputy speaker position you had to betray your people. I hope you are made the deputy speaker in your new party.

Too hasty to pass judgement and really some harsh words emanating from you. What happened to you?
When i saw the headline i thought typical Nigeria politician, but unless someone from the past govt can refute what he's claiming then I'll hold on to my verdict. These are strong allegations especially the contracts completed on paper part. Where's our corruption agencies?

I'm lawyer's Obus voice.... You dun mean it.

Who's this minister fooling Nigerians or Buhari?

Do we have better health system than the Chinese we keep borrowing money from?
Are we well prepared than USA that have a travel ban in place and reroute all flight coming from China too selected airport,?

Instead of this govt to tell us what they are doing to protect us from the virus because let's face it, by the time we realise it will definitely be too late because the virus IMO can be transmitted even b4 symptoms start manifesting unlike Ebola.
