Sports › Re: Guinuea Bissau Vs Nigeria: 2027 AFCON Qualifier (3 - 0) On 29th September 2026 by Grateman123: 2:18am On Sep 30
This is the weakest generation of super eagles I have ever seen. Since they won the afcon in 2013, they nosedived into mediocrity. There is no outstanding or high profile player in this squad apart from lookman
Sports › Re: Nigeria Vs Portugal: International Friendly (1 - 2) On 10th June 2026 by Grateman123: 5:34am On Jun 11
Last time we lost 4-0 to Portugal but Morocco defeated Portugal shortly after at the world cup. Sincerely I don't see anything spectacular about this Portuguese team, Morocco or Ivory coast can beat them. Nigeria doesn't have any star player plying his trade in a top 3 club in a top 5 league (asides lookman), when they face big names fron big teams they jitter. Inferiority complex sets in , everyone wants to be on the score sheet for bragging rights that they scored against Ronaldo led team. We had some opportunities to score but selfishness from Adams and chukwueze didn't allow them to pass to open teammates in scoring position. If this Nigerian team had gone to world cup they wouldn't string much surprises. Look at recent friendly matches , ivory coast defeated France, cape Verde defeated Serbia 3-0, Algeria defeated Netherlands 0-1; Africa will perform. Nigeria has lost iit in men's football. The team that played unity cup is better than our first team that couldn't beat Zimbabwe in w/cup qualifiers. Simon, iwobi, chukwueze aren't world class currently

Have you been able to repair it?
Yes I was able to repair it. I went to a big shop in garrison. They tried everything they couldn't repair it, then someone directed me to an on-site shop. That boy was good, reprogrammed the bios and the laptop picked up . It's been working smoothly since then.

My Lenovo Thinkpad refuses to power on though the power light appears. It has never been opened before and was bought overseas. I welcome any suggestion on a reputable repair company where I can take the laptop for repair. Thank you

It is well with you. I will advise that you use the bike to do delivery instead. You can register on bolt and Uber. Much more profitable.
I'll give it a try . Thank you

You're courageous, not a failure. Choosing to ride okada to care for your daughter shows responsibility and strength — don't let mockery discourage you.

1. Hold your head high – Survival is honorable. You're doing what many can't.
2. Okada is not the end – Use it as a stepping stone. Consider logistics work, online learning, or small business as next moves.
3. Reconnect with your skills – Your engineering degree and experience can still open doors if you gradually upskill or pivot.
4. Join the right community – Surround yourself with builders, not mockers. Look for support groups, training, or business networks.
5. Set a clear exit plan – Give yourself a timeline to transition from okada into something better.

You didn’t start late — you started. And that’s what matters most. Your comeback has already begun. Keep going.
This is quite uplifting. Thanks so very much for the kind words.

You did well but could have done even better by planning a more robust escape plan like certification or more educatiion.
Still, you tried. It isn't beans.
I totally agree with you. I still set my eyes on further education but first need to settle reoccurring bills.

I have been working for a Chinese company for 10 years, the salary fluctuates, goes up at times, then comes down. Currently I am earning 150k. Just clocked 40 and decided I face make a drastic change . Bought a bike to join the okada riding business. People are saying it is very unbefitting and mocking me, I have a degree in industrial engineering from Unibadan. But I put that in the shelves and need to pay bills. I have a daughter to cater for. My ex wife eloped to America to remarry a Nigerian working in the U.S Marines. I am just like starting over again.
I took this drastic measure quite late, I advice any youngster in a job with no apparent growth potential, to device an escape route as soon as possible so as not to waste irrecoverable years.
Food › Re: Common Lizard Found In My Sack Of Garri by Grateman123(op): 3:53pm On Jun 20, 2025
Thanks for the genuine advice. Just that I'm not a woman I can't go through the process of frying so I gave it out. I appreciate your advice though.
quote author=Mom007 post=135821147]Make sure there are no droppings in tge garri. If not, refry the garri in a hot pan till it's hot n smokey. Then allow to airdry and store properly. Heat kills germs you see.

If u cannot go through the trouble then just throw it out.[/quote]
Food › Common Lizard Found In My Sack Of Garri by Grateman123(op): 11:48am On Jun 20, 2025
I observed a lizard popping it's head out of my sack of garri containing about a quarter bag of garri. I tried to strike the lizard with my hanger and it fell back inside the garri sack. I eventually got it out and killed it.

My question to those knowledgeable about food health/poisoning... Is it advisable to throw the garri away or can I still use it? Thank you for your response.

Thanks for your advice. The lekki apartment is 550,000 per anum but just a room, kitchen and toilet well equipped, secured estate. The 2 bedroom flat is 450k but without a fence and a very average neighborhood
Properties › Location Or Cost, Which Is More Important In Choice Of Residence by Grateman123(op): 3:22pm On Jul 11, 2021
For those familiar with Lagos please advice me. I am torn between renting a self contain apartment in lekki or renting a 2 bedroom flat at the mainland, (specifically agege)given that both go for about the same cost. The environments and facilities are far apart as the 2 bedroom flat is more else located in a slum while the other environment is serene. I would like to know which is more important the environment or the size. Thanks
