I hav come to realize that Yorubas are horrible when it comes to family.

The things I saw in Yoruba land how they abandon parents to be living in ghetto.

How they disrespect their parents.
The thing dey really shock me

One of my barber jide told me he has kid but is not married. I ask how ??

He said baby mamas is a normal thing in Yoruba.

They born throway their kids to be hustling
Mother always fighting with sons
Daughters with teenage pregnancy

The level of dysfunctional homes in SWest is very very high. It's really sad
You know Raypower 100.5? It is at popular radio station at Alagbado.

Why not go there and announce it?

Enough of this matter biko. The elders in their family should help them settle it amicably
If your parents kicked you out when you were 12 and you got raped and abused while being homeless, maybe the elders can resolve the rift between you and them.

Not everyone is the same (Read 1 Timothy 5:8

What's this stupid blackmail about? She's alleged to be a bad a wicked parent who threw her out at age 12. Who throws a girl child out at that age? She was raped and molested, you weren't bothered. How she survived, you weren't bothered, now, you claimed you were running around to make her win BBN and you were not given a special invitation. What a mother!

You threw your daughter out at age 12 but systematically telling the whole World you are homeless and showing the whole World where you live. Shame!
You threw a child out to be molested but telling the Whole World that the girl is the one abandoning you. What a mother!
Imagine such sickening gaslighting! I don't blame the child.

The mother has no regrets.

All she needs to tell the daughter that she is sorry. That what she did was wrong. That whether the daughter forgives her or not inconsequential.

Her parents kicked her out when she was 12. If true, that was cruel.
Politics › Re: List Of 7 Fresh Demands And Actions Proposed By Trump And His Ally On Nigeria by grandstar(m): 7:56pm On Nov 16, 2025
Just 3 of the demands expose the fact that the US knows very little of what is going on.

Repeal blasphemy laws and release all prisoners detained for their faith.

What blasphemy laws does Nigeria have? If there are any, it is bound to be in the conservative North.

• Coordinate with international partners to deliver humanitarian aid directly to victims through trusted nongovernmental and faith-based organisations.

To find refugees that have been purely targetted for the Christian faith would be hard.

The fact they are Christian is simply coincidental. In Benue for instance, it is due to militia herdsmen. The issue there is clearly that of cattle eating farmers crops, and probably some cattle rusting. It is not a religious issue.

Affirm the United States’ commitment to stand in solidarity with Christians and defend their right to practise their faith without fear of persecution, violence, or death.

No where in the country have Christians been banned from practising their faith. Even if there's a ban, it may be a practical one.

Just as it is ridiculous to build a mighty mosque beside House on the Rock at Ikate, Churches must be located in practical areas.

Did their forefathers not flee Europe for the New world?

When the Irish, Poles, Italians got to the US, they suffered from lots of prejudice and abuse. They were treated as third class.

To them , the Italians were to dark. The Irish were fit only for the lowliest of jobs.

Gumi is Fulani. This explains his sympathies towards the bandits. He bests understands their grievances.

Nevertheless, that does not endorse the barbarity they are unleashing on the nation. Should the country burn down so your cattle can feed off someone's crop without restriction?

Nomadic farming is no longer practical.

What if the US intervention makes things worse? Were they successful in containing the Taliban or the Sunni insurgents in Iraq?

I believe the Fulani bandits can be dealt with as they are ethnic focus (Fulani) and are basically marauder gangs.

The Nigerian army is overstretched by the war in the Northeast. The bandits and militia herdsmen will just strain it more.

To fight a war is very costly. A high ranking soldier said the army needs at least 500,000 soldiers in the Northeast to contain the terrorists active there.

The government needs to be more creative in combating these menace.
Politics › Re: No Critical Thinking In Tinubu’s Administration – ADC On Scrapped Fuel Tariff by grandstar(m): 4:44pm On Nov 15, 2025
oluwaseyi0:
The tariff is and will always be a bad one
Fuel subsidy is already completely removed moving fuel from below 200 to almost 1000, adding tax will ultimately raise fuel to near 1500
Let dangote compete, let their be free market in an much as the import is not been subsidized
Nigerians can't keep bearing the brunt
What the tariff would have done was to make the imported petrol unprofitable, thereby discouraging its importation.

With competition subdued, Dangote would have the enture market to himself.

Actually, the Petroleum Industry Act states that all importation of refined petroleum will cease with a caveat and that only companies with refining capacity would be allowed to import it.

So, Tinubu was and is breaking the law by allowing petrol be imported. But he isn't dumb. He could see the damage import bans can cause when you take a peep at cement. He is not gullibe like OBJ or Buhari who would have effected the ban.

Great100000:
And I used to like this guy oooo as a player and like him more when he signed Osimhen for Napoli, see what he is saying now. So it's Africa fault that Italy may not qualify.

Whether you guys like it or not, at least 2 Africa countries will reach World Cup Semi Final and Almighty GIANT of Africa (Nigeria) will win the World Cup.
Italy's shameful performance isn't Africa fault.

Nevertheless, does the continent deserve 9 slots?

How many African countries have reached the semi-finals in the World Cup? It is food for thought.

Africa needs to do better. I almost supported him until I counted the number of countries worthy to be in the World Cup and they are Egypt, Algeria, Morrocco, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, and South Africa. These are 9 countries.

Nevertheless, Africa needs to do better, like reaching the semi-finals.

This was how someone wrote an article about how dangote refinery was a scam. He went into giving false details on how the said refinery would never come to fruition. Here, we are today, dangote refinery is producing petroleum products
Let's be honest: anyone would get worried knowing what we now know about the company behind the $50bn refinery project.

However, the initiator of the project does not need to put in a dime. He can get investors who would give him small equity stake for bringing the project together.

This man is the best gift to Tinubu: he would simply divide the opposition more.

It was a divided opposition that brought Tinubu to power. Tinubu did not win by an outright majority. He was simply the one who got more votes than the others, and also met the 25% threshold for votes in 25 states.

Had Atiku and Obi worked together, you can almost be certain that Obi would simply be waiting for 2031.

I like this scrutiny. I was pleased about the project when I first heard it.

The $50bn sum should have been a red flag. It is still early days.

Anything could happen. The visionary who came up with the project may get financiers who would provide the funding. He might at the end of the days own 5% of the project or more, while the investors own the rest.

Since August 7 2012, Nigeria's DSS has been in LIMBO. So, if not for Trump the killer of 19 Christians and their Pastor will be walk8ng free.

It is time for DSS to arrest and parade the killer of DEBORAH.
To nab this guy would have taken months, or even years of intelligence work.

You're wrong. Countries practicing free markets don't interfere with pricing as long as it is not a result companies coming together to fix the price. It is called price fixing.

Companies caught engage in such will be fined heavily in the US if caught.

Evidence of it isn't that easy to prove.

The timing of this refinery is no coincidence. After years of inaction, it only became a priority once a private competitor (Dangote) emerged, exposing the government's failure to act in the public's interest.

God will heal Nigeria
No. The problem has been about the existence of the fuel subsidies. No one will invest billions of dollars into building refineries when the final price is set by the government and due to price deregulation.

With the removal of the fuel subsidy, it is now profitable to build refineries.
