You are wrong with this.
Teachers are very much right to discipline and correct their students in all aspects of life while in the classroom, particularly in the senior primary and all through secondary schools.
I am afraid of what is going to happen in the community we are raising in the nearest future.

Oh so Asiwaju built this? Why didn’t you people say so all these while when we say he was a mediocre governor tongue
Huuuuunnnhh.
Asiwaju was never a mediocre governor.
The plan and projection started with him as the state governor.
The governors that have been carrying forward with the project development are his disciples.

Where we supposed to acknowledged someone who deserves it, let us give it.

BusinessRe: Top 15 African Countries With Highest No Of Millionaires’ Worth $1M And Above by gotnel: 4:44pm On Aug 30, 2025
Ezeama400:
There is great problem in Nigeria .

Dangote is the richest man in Africa, yet Nigeria ended up with 4th position, very far behind Egypt and South Africa

This is why I keep telling people to stop celebrating nonsense.. One of the characteristics of a successful society is the number of people doing well in such society, not celebrating the success of one person, to cap it all, the top three countries even have lesser population than Nigerian..

What a mess !!!
Good observation 👍
However, our thoughts and actions must change from being consumers of luxury goods and high fallacious life style where we are supposed to be creative with our little resources.
Our economy must be packaged in a way that we don't consider foreign goods as a matter of classic case and seeing local products as for the lesser ones.
Let us know that prosperous nations are the productive nations.

CultureRe: I Am Not In Supremacy Battle With Any Monarch – Alaafin by gotnel: 6:05pm On Aug 21, 2025
It is very unfortunate that the new Alaafin is not being mature enough for the throne he occupied.

From the beginning of his reign as Alaafin, it has been from one confrontation to another, particularly towards the Ooni.

Yoruba land is being occupied by the bandits and other negative forces.
Alaafin is not working towards putting an end to the damaged being done on the ground in Yoruba land.
It is the confrontation on non issue title that he is showing his power.
We are now in a very different time and season.

Authority and followership is not earned by being very vocal or ruthless to the society and the people who you are to provide leadership for.

Alaafin must be seen to be a father of the Yoruba land as we have been seeing Ooni.
There should be no context in which one is supreme to the other.
Yoruba land will progress better when the two royalty have one common sense and goal
FamilyRe: 25% Of Paternity Tests In Nigeria Reveal Non-Biological Fathers – Smart DNA by gotnel: 1:21pm On Aug 18, 2025
oldguyman:
The percentage will continue to grow high since guys nowadays don't have mentors. All they do is to glue around their phones. They think all they need to have a woman is money. No wisdom or a single knowledge about life, just money and their counterpart gender sees this and starts using it against them. Imagine a guy will come out and wife a woman with a sex tape everywhere and say her past is already past. You expected a woman with over 75 body counts to be a faithful wife?
Impossible!!!

Definitely not possible for such a lady to be honest and faithful to one man as husband.

Many things are wrong in today's lifestyle and man to woman relationships.

Money 💰! Money!! Money?!!

Sexual satisfaction 😌

Using sex as a tool

Feelings

And many more others than what we can explain are associated to the general problems of man to woman relationships nowadays
FamilyRe: Man’s Body Remains Unburied For 5 Years As Wives And Children Battle Over Proper by gotnel: 2:45pm On Aug 11, 2025
No one ever really loved the dead man when he was alive.
The people around him were all dealers who were after what they are really benefiting from him.
This case has nothing to do with being polygamous when the man was alive.
It is a case of the greedy wives and their children.
The children of the man are so mindless about their father being in the morgue and focusing on the property the man left behind. Such children are not worthy to be called children.
And it shows that the children are useless to themselves, they are not economically viable on their own.
The man extended family are also very docile and not active.
In all of this mess, the children and the siblings of the dead man are too greedy and mindless

It has nothing to do with the man who has passed away life styles while alive.

Christianity EtcRe: Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion reacts to election of gay Bishop, Vann by gotnel: 9:18pm On Aug 04, 2025
The situation around the world has changed so much that the real purpose of the establishment of the church in all of the world and all of the denomination has also changed.

The establishment of the churches in the right sense of it was to convince and control the people around the world at that time.
It has worked out perfectly.
Now a day, the situation is different and those who really know what it is all about are doing what they are pleased with in the Church.

The situation in the religion circles have come around so much that the black people are the best in the business now.
As for the remaining Europeans and western world in the circles of religion practised are pretty good at downplaying all the seriousness that the colonised people are so much cherished.

The church of Nigeria Anglican communion should just keep their eyes open very well, as things are happening in the world of Anglican church.

CareerRe: How Indian-owned Factories Are Using Nigerians As Modern-day Slaves – The Truth by gotnel: 12:49pm On Jul 22, 2025
It is very unfortunate that we don't have government that have interest in how the citizens are feeling and fairing.
Our labour unions are just not good enough for the betterment of workers in the private sector.

The situation with many workers in the private sector is as good as being in slavery.
For the situation to get better than we have now.
The government has to be proactive in terms of regulating the policy that will make certain things happen and some things not possible in the labour market in Nigeria.

What I will not like is where resources are being exploited without corresponding growth in the country where the resources is being taken.
Africa leaders have to change their minds to make Africa greater than the average price we are taking now.
Greater Africa can only be achieved by great leaders with their people as a focus, not focusing on personal development.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Fate Of Our Ancestors Who Did Not Hear The Word Of God by gotnel: 11:53am On Jul 06, 2025
tctrills:
For no fault of theirs, our ancestors did not hear about Christ or Christianity would they be punished for that or would they be given a second chance?

It is written
Timothy 2.3-4
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Also
Romans 10:14
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

No one preached to our ancestors so is it the will of God that they also be saved and come to a knowledge of Him?
All glory to God almighty.
Everyone, every region, every race, all generations of the earth are safe in the mighty hands of God.
Those that are dead before Jesus Christ was born
Those that were not preached to
Those who have not even been able to accept the gospel after being preached to will all find favour in the present of God almighty.

We are now in the time that we have understood more than what religion has been telling us.

Look around the world 🌎. You will understand better.

But how are we going to get to the point where we will have a leader that will take the bold decision of giving us regional system of government as we have it in the beginning.
PoliticsRe: Moment Members Of The Coalition Welcomed Aregbesola At Lagos Airport (Photos) by gotnel: 10:45am On Jul 05, 2025
Political class and their greediness are not different from one another.
The power their asking for is not for the betterment of the people.
It is not for the corrections of the wrongs we are going through, it is for their group to be in the kitchen so as to have first hand on the general pots of peoples soup.
The coalition is not for anything else but for the greediness of those who feel cheated in the present robbery of the federation account..
The two group, the ruling APC and the new coalition party ADC have nothing to offer the masses than suffering.
Democracy is not working for the masses of Nigeria
The power mongers are too greedy.

Nigeria needs another system of government.

I think Nigeria as a people don't truly don't understand aging and that is why,after all this years,we still remain the world's least living humans.Some say, just have the money and you are likely to live longer but that is far from the real truth.Also,most people don't understand the difference between aging and healthy aging.Your grandpa might have lived till his 80s but was incapacitated, bedridden or was in a nursing home being taken care of for last decade of his life,while another old man in same age like your grandpa's is strong,walks,runs long distance races like marathons.Every year we read of people in the west in their 80s run and complete marathons.l wonder if a Nigerian of 60 years and above can run a marathon let alone even complete it.
Yes, you can see Nigerians of 80 years in good condition and doing things like he or she is still in 50s.
Where I come from, very old great grandparents are still going to their farms and work out the day and briskly walk to and fro.

You can get old and still do things independently, even swiftly.
It depends on genetic, body weight and frame, and good condition of health.

FamilyRe: My Mum Wants To Remarry Six Years After The Demise Of My Dad. by gotnel: 7:43pm On Jun 09, 2025
To God be the glory for everything.
May the soul of your father rest in perfect peace.
Let your mum remarry.
Allow her to feel loved again.
If your tradition does not allow the children of her early marriage to be with her in the new husband house, it is what it is.
The situation is not too bad, there are potential options.
Let us take it up like this, your mum definitely will not want to discard her children because of her new husband.
If the new man is in love with you mum, he will not want her to do away with her children from her early marriage.
Therefore the two love birds must have a certain arrangement to carry the children along.

You, on the other side.
What is the relationship between you and your paternal lineage?
Work on relationship with your family.
I also pray for divine intervention for you and your siblings.

PoliticsRe: Automatic Tickets, Contracts Fuelling Defections To APC - Daily Trust by gotnel: 1:04pm On May 19, 2025
No permanent friends or enemies in politics.
One thing that is constant in politics is permanent better interest.
No politician will not make a move to where the permanent better interest is sure.
Everything else is just a matter of justification.
Politicians are not in the game of politics for the betterment of the federation in the first instance, they are all in politics for the betterment of their personal life and their immediate families and friends.
Second instance is for whatever they can give to the general community and the society.

So, the real thing is that the Politicians see a good package in the APC

If I fart inside a room, especially in the evening, everybody will run away. In fact, stay outside for a few minutes before you come inside again.


I mostly pity my girlfriend because she's is the one enduring it. Chai, that girl don suffer for my hand.

The other day, i was on a date with a girl and it came. I couldnt control so i had to release and the whole place was smelling so bad. She knew i was the one and i had to apologize. Since after that day, that girl is not picking my calls again. Could that be the issue?

Abeg, could something be wrong inside me that makes my fart smell so bad? Like a rotten dead body. I'm serious. That is how bad it's.

What can I do to end this?
Not really bad that your fart smell very bad.
To help yourself out.
Drink plenty of water first thing in the morning before you eat anything.
Make it a daily habit to drink water every morning.

Make sure you take water before your meal

Take hot vegetable soup very frequently.

The first thing you need to take note of is your frequency of going to toilet for defecating.
At least you must defecate once in a day.

If you can achieve the maximum of once a day defecating, you have received healing from your smelly fart
Foreign AffairsRe: Captain Ibrahim Traoré: The Soldier Selling Africa False Hope by gotnel: 5:32pm On Apr 28, 2025
What are we expecting to happenhuh
Democracy is not working in most countries of Africa.
Military rules have been tested and not found palatable.
No nation is practising monarchy that has a good development in Africa.
Then, what system of governance is really suitable for Africa development?
Burkinafaso is in the hands of Military guys at the moment.
Burkina people are really not complaining about the government.
There are potential differences between the time of this government and the immediate past government with positive values.
The western world are very much selfish.
The aim of the western world has always been to exploit and explore Africa resources.
Any government that will not work with the western world in their characteristics of exploration and exploitation of Africa resources is seen by the western world and their collaborative marketing forces as rebellious and must be overthrown.

Captain Ibrahim Traore is definitely not bad at this moment.
We are not sure how it will be tomorrow.
Like a good package that he is today, let us all Africans rally round him.
When he is bringing in another alternative to what he is doing now that his people are praising him, that time we will turn against him.

France 🇫🇷 and other nations who have been behind the scenes enjoying the resources of Burkinafaso should be patient and see how things play out.
HealthRe: Man Loses Wife As NEPA Takes Light Mid-operation,no Fuel In Hospital’s Generator by gotnel: 9:06pm On Apr 27, 2025
yemre:
No! You can't even blame the husband. If you go to board an aircraft at the airport, do you start asking the pilot if he has enough fuel that would take you to your destination?

Doctors who intended to carry out surgical operation just entered the theater and opened up somebody without thinking of making preparations for the surgery?

You just would not understand and I don't pray the situation ever repeats itself.

Even the operations that had everything in place and were successful are always supported with fervent prayers and anxiety from the relatives of the patient.

If you have ever had to take a close relative to the hospital for a surgery, you would understand exactly what I'm talking about.

God will help us in this country.
I am talking from a personal experience
My wife was to undergo a cs session in a hospital at ikeja, the hospital is notorious for excuses.
There was power supply from the public source.
I personally went to see the situation around the hospital generator.
To confirmed my curiosity, there was no fuel in the big diesel generator and the 5KVA petrol generator
There was a fuel scarcity in the country at the time.
I went to buy 10 ltrs of petrol and put it into the petrol generator and start the generator to confirm it working and supply power to the hospital before the surgery started.
While I was busy dealing with the fuel, the doctors were all ready for the surgery but I insisted on getting the back up power source before they started.
To the glory of God, the operation went well under power supply from the public source, but immediately the doctors and the nurses were stepping out of the theatre, there was power outage and the generator was expressly switch on.

You don't have to take chances in some issues, particularly surgery in an hospital.

Need to know that there are certain configuration of power supply to some critical units of these big hospitals which do not require running the big generator that supply power to the entire complex
Asking for fuel in a flight operation is not as the same as knowing that there is a power back up in a hospital during a surgery session. They are not on the same way important particularly in a country with erratic power supply system.
God help us more

Very normal for the leading doctor to consider and confirm the power supply and the possible back up before the commencement of the surgery.
Big negligence from all that were concerned about the whole matter. Both the family of the late woman and the hospital managers

[quote author=PresidObi post=135144397]Are you sure this man didn't vote for this government?

Because the mismanagement in every hospital can be traced to the mismanagement of the country where the incompetence oozing from to top is passing through the health ministry to each hospital.

Total corruption kills.

This is a case of how we are as a people.
It is not everything, at everytime we should blame the government.
Naturally, the husband and the doctors are to be blame here.



We all know the situation around the country.
How could anyone anywhere get into surgery in an hospital without the necessary assessment of power supply back up?
No fuel, yes. What does it cost to get fuel into the hospital generator?
What happens to the doctor who is leading the operation, that could not help arrange for power back up before starting to operate on human being?
The husband of the lady is also very naive to have not asked questions about power back up before the session started.
We will need to change our thinking as people before we can go forward as a nation.
