You just cannot change. Instead of acknowledging for once how terrible this situation is, this is what you have to say
You and your pathetic ilk would've preferred if something terrible happened to GEJ, then you all would celebrate and give pathetic speeches of how shocked you are but God pass una.
It's a damn shame.

RetroviralS: Be honest… what would you do if the person you love tested HIV positive today?
Would you still hold their hand or would you walk away?
A> I’d walk away, I’m not ready
B> I'd Stay, love is stronger than fear
C> I’d need time, it’s not easy
Every day, we see people face this exact moment —a heartbeat between love and fear. Let's be real, its not easy to make a decision when it involves matters of the heart.
Vote honestly in the comment section. Let’s start the kind of conversation that speaks reality.
First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has invited Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other members of the Senate to a dinner scheduled for Friday.
The invitation letter, read by Akpabio during Tuesday’s plenary, stated that the event will hold at 6 p.m. at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Asokoro.
According to the First Lady, the dinner is intended to serve as an interactive session to foster meaningful discussions on national progress.
The letter read: “I cordially request the presence of His Excellency, the President of the Senate, and distinguished members of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to a dinner which I will be hosting on Friday at 6 p.m. at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Asokoro.
“This dinner is an interactive session aimed at fostering insightful discussions on national progress.
“I look forward to receiving you and all distinguished senators at the event.”
In my day, Babes had dignity and shame. Most would even prefer to allow you to order for them but I guess that was very very long ago...
I remember my then girl would write down everything I ever got her...when I asked why she said her momma taught her to keep track so she could always say "NO" where necessary and refund.

It's not just any riff-raff with y@n$h and b00b$ you engage in "talking stage "....
The guy should've written it off immediately the money left his account abi does he really mean he never saw this coming a mile away?
Don't give any love interests money you can't afford to forget.
DyshApp: A young man is making waves on social media after sharing his frustrating experience with a “talking stage“, who he lent money.
In a viral WhatsApp chat screen recording shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @Teniola, the man recalled lending her ₦20k and even shared his account details to make repayment.
The lady, however, responded by asking if he was actually serious about taking the money back, and tensions quickly rose.
He reminded her that she had asked him to lend her money to sort out an issue due to her app not functioning, and he trusted her word.
She still insisted that even though her app had problems, it didn’t mean he should demand repayment. She became upset, saying she wouldn’t pay the money because the app was still malfunctioning and wouldn’t work forever.
Many took to the comments section to weigh in. One commentator said, “He helped her, now she’s making him feel guilty.” Another wrote, “When generosity becomes a drama… Nigerian relationships sef.”
What started as a simple act of trust became a heated conversation, leaving Nigerians divided: should he have demanded repayment, or let go of the money.
Until Africans are truly educated ( not these ones that cannot positively impact the continent with what they've seen and learnt) and poverty is brought down to the barest minimum, this evil will not stop.
See how that country looks so much like 9ja slums/villages.
Africa has a long way to go.

When last did you visit Ibadan or are you only limited to the ancient areas like beere-ojaba when ever you go there?
Abi is it old Google pictures that helped you make this uniformed conclusion about the city?
Yobabad: The better stop protesting, Ibadan needs urgent face left there is too much brown rusted roof which is an eye sore, by the way Yoruba Muslims claims Ibadan is Nigeria than the whole of SS
Hell-anus and his band of misfits would soon post a rebuttal claiming those pictures were AI generated..
Kelklein: The picture below made me believe the insecurity in Nigeria was a creation of the political class..
For those that were too young when it happened close to 11years ago.. the white man seated was John Kerry, the US Secretary of State under Obama.. when he visited Nigeria in Jan 2015.. the others seated were the newly formed APC members scheming to oust the then President Jonathan. They hosted and treated a US Sec óf State to a separate State welcome with flags of both countries as you can see behind. Those people were virtually running a shadow government while there was a sitting government in power, at that period in time.
All the things they got away with then have become treasonable offences today. Same United State they were begging John Kerry and Obama to intervene in Nigerian affairs then is suddenly not welcomed today.
Karma is indeed a b*tch.. what goes around, comes around full cycle.

Greattha: Building wealth takes years of discipline, smart decisions, and often a bit of luck. Yet that wealth can vanish far more quickly than it was created. Throughout history, specific economic forces have consistently proven themselves capable of destroying the accumulated prosperity of individuals, families, and entire nations. Understanding these wealth destroyers is essential for anyone seeking to preserve and grow their financial resources in an increasingly complex global economy.
1. Inflation Inflation stands as perhaps the most insidious wealth destroyer because it operates invisibly, eating away at purchasing power day by day. When the general price level of goods and services rises faster than income or investment returns, every dollar saved becomes worth less tomorrow than it is today. This silent tax affects everyone but hits certain groups particularly hard.
Those who suffer most from inflation include retirees living on fixed incomes, savers who keep their money in low-yield bank accounts, and wage earners whose salaries don’t keep pace with rising costs.
Consider someone who diligently saved N1 million in cash for retirement over several decades. If inflation averages just 3% annually, that money loses half its purchasing power in about 24 years. What could buy a comfortable lifestyle at retirement might barely cover necessities two decades later.
Central banks typically respond to inflation by raising interest rates, but this approach creates its own set of problems. Higher rates can trigger recessions, unemployment, and financial instability.
Meanwhile, governments often benefit from moderate inflation as it reduces the real burden of their debt, effectively transferring wealth from creditors to debtors. At the same time, inflation transfers wealth from wage earners to asset owners. This dynamic explains why politicians can tolerate higher inflation rates despite its corrosive effects on citizens’ savings. Inflation destroys the buying power of your paycheck and savings.
2. Currency Devaluation While inflation erodes purchasing power gradually, currency devaluation can destroy wealth with shocking speed. When a nation’s currency weakens dramatically against others, it devastates the real wealth of anyone holding assets denominated in that currency. This destruction happens through multiple channels simultaneously.
Devaluation makes imports more expensive, driving up the cost of everything from fuel to food to consumer goods. For countries dependent on imports, this translates directly into a lower standard of living. Citizens discover their savings can’t buy what they once could, not just domestically but especially when converted to stronger foreign currencies. A middle-class family that saved for years to send their children abroad for education might find their dreams shattered when their currency loses half its value. Foreign vacations become much more expensive in your own currency’s terms.
Governments sometimes deliberately weaken their currencies to boost exports and reduce debt burdens. While this might help specific industries temporarily, it punishes savers and those on fixed incomes.
The currency crises in Argentina, Turkey, and Zimbabwe demonstrate how decades of middle-class wealth accumulation can evaporate in months when faith in a fiat currency collapses. In extreme cases, people resort to barter or foreign currencies, abandoning their national currency entirely. Currency devaluation destroys the value of your currency in terms of foreign currency and gold terms.
3. Excessive Taxation Taxation funds essential government services, but when it becomes excessive or poorly designed, it transforms into a powerful wealth destroyer. High tax rates don’t just reduce take-home income; they fundamentally alter economic behavior in ways that reduce overall wealth creation.
When income taxes reach punitive levels, they discourage work, innovation, and risk-taking. Entrepreneurs might decide the potential rewards no longer justify the effort and risk when the government takes the majority of any gains.
Wealth taxes, which some countries have implemented, often trigger capital flight as wealthy individuals relocate to more favorable jurisdictions. This brain drain and capital exodus weakens the entire economy.
Transaction taxes reduce market liquidity and increase the cost of doing business. Inheritance taxes can force families to sell enterprises or property that have been held for generations, breaking up productive assets and destroying accumulated wealth.
Perhaps most damaging are sudden, unexpected tax changes that destroy long-term financial planning. When governments retroactively change tax rules or introduce new levies on previously tax-advantaged investments, they undermine trust in the entire system. Excessive taxation transfers wealth from those who earn it to those you mismanage it. Taxation removes capital from its best uses in the economy for business building and traps it in bureaucratic budgets.

One 🤡 who lives in the states prayed that "may Nigeria continue to happen to him" just because he's a beneficialry of the corruption and impunity in Nigeria...much like the a$$lickers on NL
The joke is the 🤡 has no idea he has cursed his generations unborn because indeed the worst of Nigeria would definitely happen to him directly or indirectly when he no longer has the power to help himself or his kids like every other average Nigerian.
They see their leaders and elders benefiting from crime and corruption so it's now a norm.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
