thebosstrevor1: Even though it is true that there are paternity frauds in our society, the reality is it is not so much like how social media are publicizing it.
Nigerian dna market is unregulated, dna is your human footprint, your personal data. Dna is not only about testing paternity but it can be use for many things.
I believe there is a plot on Nigerians by some Dna tech companies in Nigeria to raise the discussion about DNA Test in our society because they want to create a DNA bank For Nigerians.
For instance, there is a company called 54gene in lagos that is building an African DNA bank, the company raised almost 15 million dollars from Bill and merinda gates foundation. The company claim that the Greater availability of African genomic data could lead to medical breakthroughs for the African’s 1.2 billion people.
As far back as 2019, the company has almost 60,000 dna samples of Nigerians in their Bank, in addition, the company is based in Washington DC and Nigeria.
How many of you are concerned about your privacy, don't let social media discussions fool you, some of these dna companies might be the ones sponsoring the discussion so that people can go for Dna test, soon they will gather your data and also sell it to the highest bidder in the United states or to law enforcement agencies.
People should know what they spread online, you might be claiming woke, understand that your privacy matters and that anybody who has control over your dna data has control over you.
Half baked education is dangerous than illiteracy. You have successfully spread more lies than those you were accusing.

Kobojunkie: I know you claim to be a Christian, so I will ask you what curse Jesus Christ told you awaited those who criticized false teachers and prophets?
While you are at it, please provide reference to some of the many curses Jesus Christ declared on the head of the many false prophets and teachers out there?
Matthew 23, alone (the entire Chapter) lists some of the curses Jesus Christ laid on False prophets and their followers.
You get time to dey answer that guy because their is nothing you can tell him that will change his mind except the Holy Spirit opens their eyes to see the fraud being perpetuated by some pastors. As long as they are not ready to read their bibles they will continue to be deceived and exploited.
HeWrites: Serving overseer of Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), Pastor Tunde Bakare has dared a former minister of aviation Femi Fani-Kayode to “expose” him for speaking glowingly of a former governor of Lagos Bola Tinubu, Igbere TV reports.
Bakare had last week likened Tinubu to Jephthah in the Bible who delivered his people despite the circumstances of his birth.
Mr Fani-Kayode then wrote a scathing article titled ‘Who is squeezing Bakare’s balls?’ In the article, he wondered if the clergyman was being blackmailed to turn around to praise Tinubu after being known to be the former governor’s critic.
Reacting to the ex-minister’s comments, Bakare in an open letter sent to the national publicity secretary of Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, dared Fani-Kayode to publish whatever he has on him.

Sebastine1994: When half of my neighbors have travelled, I am now left alone in the compound. every year it is only me who remains back, I am ashamed. I can't go home. I offended my family so much.
I was deported from South Africa for drug trafficking, my father spent all his life saving to send me abroad, I went there to do drugs,
Now I have my freedom, but my heart remains in chain, seeing my family struggling financially because of me and the failed investment on me. I am depressed because of this.
I can't call them, I don't know what to do. I may take my life if the emotional torture becomes much.
You will be shocked to see how much you mean to them without money. Worry no more. It's not the number of times a man falls that matters but how he stands. Show me any great man and I will show a former failure. Never lose hope.

peacekante: Actress Nancy Isime Visits LUTH Children Emergency Ward With Mascots to Celebrate her birthday. Her presence lifted the mood in the ward as children were very happy to see her. She Posted videos and pictures of her visit and wrote this:
A snippet of the most amazing day I’ve had this year.
I’ve visited the pediatric ward of LUTH twice in the past, so coming back this year for the 3rd time I knew I had to bring something different to the kids.
Mascots! I know kids Loveee their cartoon characters and being here on admission, they might not get the chance to watch their favorite cartoons. So I thought, why not brighten their day with their faves.
Every year, people ask me, won’t you do party for your friends? My reply is always “ I don’t have strength for adults, they’re so difficult to please���”. I mean, judging from these moments I’m sure you’ll agree.
Oh! The big smiles on their faces. I’ll do anything to bring that. Just distracting them from their pain for a moment means the whole world to me.
Children are indeed God’s gift. Their purity, innocence and heart are some of my biggest inspiration in Life. I Love them!
By the way, thank you soooo much Fam for the incredible show of Love today, if I haven’t gotten to your post. Please give me some time, I promise to go through it all. Please make sure you tag bit just mention me so I don’t miss your warm wishes. I LOVE YOU!
Until you get there and receive shame wey pass PMB, instead of you to look for a young vibrant man and support him but the selfishness and greed in you like PMB will not allow you. Kontiniuuu (Patience J voice)
Benzoway: A travel agent promised to get my cousin an Australian work visa for 800k. He already paid 300k before I got to know about it. Now it's clear that the whole thing is a scam and we're looking for the best way to go about this.
So far, the agent says she has already started processing some documents but she hasn't submitted anything yet. I've told her that we can forfeit 10% (30k) and have her refund the balance of 270k. Her response was that she isn't sure yet but we will talk tonight. The fair advantage we have is that she is a friend of our relative and we know her house and work place.
So guys, please what is the best way to go about getting a refund from this agent? Do we go to the police? Or do we get a lawyer?.
If you paid into her account then you have some form of evidence, while talking with her just let her know that you have that as an evidence and you dont want to involve third party like the police so she should please answer you guys. Ensure you record your conversation too. Dont threaten her, be civil but firm.
Anoymus: I have a girlfriend I am meaning to propose to during the festive period, she's everything I want in a woman except few exception which might be a hindrance to the proposal. Gist is, my babe is a graduate but lack of work made her to learn fashion designing, she's done with the training and she's very good with what she does.
After marriage, I have told her that I'll assist in her business, I'm planning to get a bigger shop space for her and equip it with modern day machines, tools and tailoring materials goods to help make her work lucrative. I'm budgeting about 1.2-1.5m for this.
The issue now is that, 3 days ago, I asked her what her role would be if eventually after marriage she gets the shop, equipments and all, where she would come in in terms of responsibilities in the house. Her reply was she doesn't want to assume any responsibility and that it's my duty to cater for the family and she can only help & I shouldn't make anything compulsory for her. So many thoughts came through my mind. One of it was that, where the proceeds of her investment would be going to if I should shoulder all the responsibilities in the house knowing fully well that she makes money.
I rang my mum and told her of her response, I was shocked that she backed her saying that I shouldn't have asked her to foot anything in the house that it was my sole responsibility as a man to cater for my family my wife inclusive. My dad too, same thing. Even told my gf mum about it too , she giggled and said I shouldn't have asked her n that it's my duty to provide for my family. They all sounded foreign to me. Or am I the one not understanding?
My question now is, why invest that kind of money in her when I'm not sure of getting little or nothing in terms in return help to run the family. That sum of money could get me 4 brand new bikes and 2 neatly used Keke Napep for transportation business. I'm sure I'll be getting returns from these investment weekly or monthly basis.
I don't want who wouldn't have any sense of responsibility at home after investing in her, even if she's covering 10% or 5% I wouldn't mind. Mere helping doesn't go down well with me, she might have and decide not to give out. I rather not invest at all and expect nothing from her.
I don't know if I'm the one over thinking this things or my parent and her mum aren't seeing things from my perspective or am I being inconsiderate?
Criticism, Insults and bashing are welcomed. Thanks
If she be my sister I will be concerned about your mindset as well. You are looking at marriage as business, yes it may look like it but it's different.
It takes wisdom to collect money from one's wife, ask your dad. Some will even borrow you to pay for goods, rents or fees and they will emphasis that you must pay back. Lol.... a sharp husband will not argue and a smart man will pay back because he doesn't want her business to fail.
Whatever you do for your wife just believed it's for yourself and children. Your concern should be on how loving and sacrificing she is. Forget all those talks, if she has a caring heart towards people in needs and not selfish type but considerate, I think she is ok.
Jceeee: Hello everybody , I came here to seek for advice because I’m in a big dilemma with my kid sister , I don’t want to bore you with long story I will make the long story short. I got married in May 2000 I was pregnant with my first child , I had my first child in September that same year then another daughter in 2002 May , and in July 2002 my husband left for abroad ( I won’t mention the country ) .
I had to move out of the renting apartment and went back to my parents house with my 2 children while waiting for him to apply for our documents, it took him 2 years to settle and for 2 year he couldn’t send us money because he had no documents and job.
My parents were supportive until when my husband got his documents and started working , he started sending us money every month and was working hard for me and the kids to join him but things were not working well for us , they keep rejecting us but he didn’t get tired of us , but I started getting tired after 5 years of waiting, missing him badly , no intimacy and I was lonely and very depressed.
I start seeking attention outside and I met with a married man that I had a relationship with, I got pregnant in 2008 the man suggested abortion but I didn’t want to abort because I was scared to die because I remember a cousin that had a husband abroad , she got pregnant and went to abort , she died instantly so I didn’t want to end up like her .
I had planned with my sister and mum that I should leave our state to another state ( I won’t mention the name ) to go and have my baby then will come back after the baby is 3 months , I and my kid sister left and rented another house in a different state meanwhile we lied to my dad that I had traveled to this country to join my husband in abroad , things was well.
I had my baby another girl in 2009 and we kept the secret for 3 months from my dad and we had to lie to him , it was my kid sister that has given birth to this baby while we were away and my dad got angry at her and he has said a lot of harsh things to her, it was very painful but my sister supported me and didn’t let the secret come out , even to my husband he just knew the baby was my sister , because I was breastfeeding her , we didn’t want to go home yet so we had to stayed here for a year , when I weaned her and we started preparing to go back home, lying to my dad that things didn’t work out and I couldn’t join my husband anymore, we returned back home in 2010 and we had been keeping this secrets from my dad , husband and other people .
Finally God has been great that I had to joined my husband in 2013 after 11 years of waiting , it was a wonderful time to be with him again , my kid sister got married in 2014 she had a daughter with her husband before marriage born in 2012, so the husband accepted her with my daughter that she pretend to be hers , she went to her husband house , leaving my kids with our parents , she only took the daughter she had with her husband and I used to send them money as usual until in 2015 my 2 daughters I had with my husband joined us abroad and my other daughter stayed behind , I had to convinced my husband that my sister baby should join us too which he was okay and grateful to my sister because she had been the one taking care of our children in my absent so we started applying for documents for the girl, but they kept rejecting it but we didn’t give up, at that same time my sister has also wanted her biological daughter to be included in but I was frank with her that we couldn’t add her daughter because the daughter that I had is known to be hers so if we had another daughter it would be wrong , so this has caused a lot of problems between my sister and I that she called me an ingrate after everything she has been doing to me , but I was never ungrateful to her because I take care of her daughter school fees in a best private school but I just couldn’t take her abroad with us but she is adamant that her daughter should be here too.
Luckily my daughter which to my husband is my niece has joined us this January 2020 , she knows me as her auntie and my sister her mummy , She is doing well my family is complete , I have also had 2 more children with my husband two cute boys but my sister has been threatening and blackmailing that she would tell my husband everything about my daughter , I had begged even our mum has been begging her not to spoil my marriage but she wouldn’t listen.
I’m scared she would tell my husband and my marriage will be over. I don’t sleep well and anytime when my husband get back from work , my heart beat faster thinking that he has found out about the secrets and I’m no longer in peace. he loves my niece ( daughter ) so much that he doesn’t treat her any different from our 4 children but I’m getting so scared , have been taking blood pressure medication because of my sister threatening me.
Please I know a lot of you would insult me because I deserve it but all I need is advice from you .
please if you could offer me some , I just don’t know what else to do
1. Ask God for fogiveness.
2.Tell your husband you will like to do DNA test for your children.
3. After the DNA confirms he is the father of the your children minus the other girl.
4. Confess what you did and leave the rest for God.
5. Be ready for the worse but you are lucky you are not in Naija otherwise na your papa house you go spend the weekend.
6. Forgive your sister, appreciate her for all she did for you and make sure you help her daughter as well.
Whiteshield: Every election year, PDP in Lagos usually goes into party primaries divided into various groups. Once the primaries are concluded, they are now divided into 3 parties. The winners, the elders and the disgruntled losers.
The losers work against the winners in the general elections and make them lose. The elders pretend to be neutral but sabotage the winners so that they can't usurp their control of the party. The primary winners now end up as state losers and they end up fighting themselves till the next election year where the cycle is repeated again.
Firstly, dont be in a hurry to respond to comments and dont assume.
I am aware of Lagos politics, am aware of all these things you mentioned and if you look at my comments again I used the word "if...." Am aware of what they did to Agbaje the first time and Agbaje decided to cash out on them the second time. You are right and I believed those elders like Bode George are the major problems.
He will win when the tsunami that will erode the APC from governorship and may be presidency, if the PDP can get a good candidate for governorship by putting politics asides otherwise he can join them after all their is no difference between APC or PDP.
thatigboman: I want to create this post in order to disabuse the minds of nairalanders on the misconceptions about much-talked about igbo bride prices. Contrary to the belief that igbo bride prices run into millions, the bride prices are usually a token. In my hometown in Arondizuogu, Imo State, it is about N200.
The misconception arises from the list given to family of the intending groom. That list is far different from the bride price. Different people in igboland give different lists in igboland for the different groups in the village they come to marry - the daughters of the family (my 2 year old children get their shares in my place), the women, the youths and the elders. And there are options. You either bring the items or bring the money. Example, u can go to a community and they ask you to bring 10 big yams, another can ask for 20 kegs of palm wine, others can ask for coconut. And youths in my place must ask for a roll of cigarettes, benson or rothmas. And the groom has an option, either to buy them and bring according to specifications or just drop money.
Buying the items usually bring problem. U can buy 10 big yams, and they tell u that it is only 2 that are big, you have to pay for the other 8 'small ones'. U can buy Life and Hero drinks, and they say no, one must be Star, so some people will prefer to pay cash and will be taxed heavily. All in all, all the issues will be settled, so no worries.
let other igbos and other nairalanders contribute.
It's still the same thing, #200 bride price plus 2M listed items. Imagine someone collecting #200 as bride price with a list worth over 2M. People are not really complaining of the bride price but the list the accompanies it.
