That second Niger bridge is a complete scam,it's also too low for cargo vessels and the bye pass is too close too close to the old bridge so it wouldn't reduce the traffic hold up on that road,I understand that the construction company left the original point of bye pass which is a swamp to choose a dry land in order to cut cost without considering how it totally defeats the purpose of the project which is to bye-pass traffic along that road. We're not serious in this country at all.

The way gays are forcing their minority views down the throat of the majority in western cultures is nauseating, disgusting and repulsive.

Well played Hilda...Perfect update

sense de your post but be positive for once na.

Nigeria is a country where those in any place of authority ignores the welfare and wellbeing of those under them but teachers are the worst treated as they are considered of little political influence unless it's election time,Under Tinubu, they might get even more maltreated because politicians wouldn't even need their votes to win.

This is just the beginning, many Nigerians would flee to other African countries with or without passports, I forsee a surge of immigration to Binin republic, Cameroon, ivory coast, Rwanda, Uganda etc soon.

Fear women.

When Obi talks, he exudes knowledge, intelligence and wisdom.

APC invests more in lies and propaganda than common sense education, that's why they contested the election without a manifesto but have hordes of online influencers spinning falsehood all over the social media.

Electricity is one of the greatest headaches I have going into this. The matter tire me.

That's why I am doing many windows of larger sizes to make use of daylight.

consider adding solar to the electric design, the changeover switch becomes three ways, Nepa,gen and solar, you can install the solar later when you can afford it.

I don't like hypocrites.

Nigerian men aren't known for domestic violence, cheating=yes but domestic violence is a big no. We exhibit a high level of emotional maturity and self control. This incidence is a one off event which is why it made the news. If I understand the narration well,the woman provoked him by planning to remarry while been legally married to him,that even makes a first degree manslaughter instead of murder, a typical South African man can murder his wife over such behaviour.

Samantha124:
With the way you guys like bashing SA men for domestic violence, I thought you guys don't lay your hands on your women.

Now what is this

rest joor. You too like wahala.

All I know is that with Tinubu as president, all hope of free and fair elections and rule of law would be lost in the country. Las las,Nigerians deserves the type of leaders that they get.

Nigerians deserves the leaders that they get.

PoloG:
rubbish

SW has the best universities in Nigeria, that is what that matters..

not all this unimportant stats that varies every year

a Yoruba boy from ekiti state had the highest score last year...
same as 2021

even your igbo highest jamb scorer had to pick UI check it😂😂😂

and FYI, SW remains the most developed region and lowest unemployment and poverty rate according to NBS😊😊😊

which NBS? Show us the links to the statistics?

Good day all,

is there anyone coming to Kigali this month, need some items brought for me, will be glad to offer any help or money in return for bringing the items, thanks a lot.

+250784475998 ,whatsapp.

chairman, good day, your boys de await your comment on how life be in Kigali, Japan de our mind with this incoming Escobar/Osama government.

A paid speech writer wrote that not Tinubu, a man whom when asked about the concerns of Nigerian workers on the rapid downfall of the naira against other currencies replied that "they shouldn't be worried because their salaries are paid in naira not dollars" showing his apparent lack of understanding on basic economics. For a start,increasing the minimum wage without first increasing our level of productivity would only lead to inflation and in times of inflation, government workers on fixed incomes suffer while business owners prosper. He needs to be lectured on the difference between nominal income and real income but he's too old and mentally weakened to learn that now.

sleek214:
How many people did the fraud Obi removed from poverty when he was Anambra State governor? Among the four leading candidates in the just concluded election, Obi was the least qualified.. in a sane society, Obi won't get up to 5% votes. He had nothing to offer as a governor, he wouldn't have offered anything as a president. Unemployment rate is high because many Nigerians don't think, they are as shallow in their reasoning, just like you.

Oga he didn't mention names but your conscience have pushed you into attacking Obi. Only the truth can free you.

Honestly, at the rate Nigeria is going and with the coming Escobar-Osama presidency, I'm seriously researching about migrating to African countries like Cape Verde,Ivory Coast,Benin republic etc. If you're interested, hit me let's work together on the travel section.

Buhari's scorecard to Nigerian workers.

The first problem with farmers is they mistake of calling GAIN as gross sales, how much do you think you will invest in a farm to get 20 million, how many people will it take to do it, WHAT IS THE GAIN, AFTER PAYING EVERYONE?
I use people for chicken farm for december (200 chickens @ 600 naira= 120k), feed for 2 months = 350k, workers for two months 100k, vacination = 100k, housing= 100k (Total = 770k). After 2 months only 170 chickens left, sold at 6,000 = 1,000,000 approximately after factoring transportation (Total profit before paying myself is 230,000) Now if I am to pay myself, I will say 50,000 per month, Total profit is 130k.

And, depending on the kind of work, some people get 200k in a week for surpervision, installation, monitoring, even logistics, the issue is having such on a steady.

Farming can be lucrative, but it takes TIME, EFFORT, PATIENCE, CONTENTMENT, AND LOTS OF MONEY!

You forget everything in farming have season, if your corn falls in the season of corn, 1 truck load may not go for more than 200k, in some areas before it get to the desired market, it has expired (Like corn, fresh on the first two days, after which, you have to beat down the price) I visited home last December I saw ORANGE, like 10 truck load decaying by the road, I parked and my younger sister was like how can this even happy, that kind of waste sometimes is unavoidable, along the road, you can see more loads and loads of orange, thinking about the amount the owner used to covey such to the road before the eventual decay, you will then wonder.

For farming to gain the kind of traction that is required, you will need lots of money, like the owner of that orange farm, if he has a processing machine, process and store as joice, he can sell at any time and get profit.

your calculations for broiler production is entirely wrong, I'll use 50 broilers raised for last easter as an example, broiler is 340 (currently 300) for agrited broilers, you need twelve bags for two months (optimally, you target to raise up to 3kg weight within six weeks thereby saving feeding cost and time for more turnover) at an average cost of 8k per bag that's #96000( current price is as low as 7200-7500 for grower feeds) you don't need workers for 50 to 200 birds and vaccination for 100 birds takes less than 1k per vial(Gumboro and lasota) so 4k is enough for two hundred birds. Housing is in double story cages or pens so 100k to house them each time is ridiculous, it takes about 150k to raise 50 broilers for 6-8 weeks, if you sell at 6k then your profit is almost 100% of your capital but if you supply in bulk to hotels, you'll still make 100-150k. As for seasonality, the solution is to diversify.

sparko1:
Really, You can sleep on your warm bed for a year and the total gain in your tomatoes farm is not more that 200k or work for just one week and get 200k.

Farming is all about contentment, but not everyone is cut for it.

you can make easy twenty million naira from a hectare of irrigated tomatoes in the dry season, agriculture pays like blood money if approached as a business not as a lifestyle, labourers in Lagos don't make 200k in a week that's why they sleep under a bridge.

Okoroawusa:
Ask yourself why people sleep in the streets of New York City . Big cities anywhere in the world takes care of you no matter your status.

I'll rather sleep in a warm bed in my village as a tomatoes farmer than sleep under a bridge in Lagos as a labourer, you're free to disagree but we all have different ideals in life.

I don't like living in Lagos for anything, most people there are probably better off financially living in another state.

Brethren, the real change is coming!

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

what's the source of this news so i bookmark it for future reference?

There's no more shame among Nigerian politicians, look Aondakaa that was so corrupt that he's lucky not to be in jail is suddenly been granted interviews to spurt out rubbish in his attempt to get back to politics.

MilitantAtheist:
Commercial Agriculture is difficult in northern areas especially the extremely lucrative Fish farming. I must have made enough millions first to ever consider rearing cattle n other Ruminants which I will realize the profits in 3-5 years time. Here in south we fish farmers realize profit almost every day and huge profit every month end. Everyday farmers order for broodstocks, fingerlings and juveniles, on the month end marketers come to buy adult fish of 1kg+ at harvest after 4 months of stocking. Northerners can't do fisheries because they don't have water, Rocky lands.

they can use tarpaulin ponds refilled from an industrial borehole.

As Benue is overrun, the marauding herdsmen would eventually attack the south.

*‘I Watched In Horror As They Slaughtered My Daughter Like An Animal’ (Picture)*

Not a few are still in shock and alarmed by Good Friday’s horrendous armed herdsmen murder of about 40 Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, and members of their host community in a camp at the LGEA Primary School Mgban, in Nyiev Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue State.

On that fateful day, according to an eyewitness, the armed marauders stormed the community, which had a police checkpoint located directly opposite the camp on the stretch of the Makurdi-Lafia road, at about 9 pm.

They came shooting sporadically after obviously overpowering the police personnel on stop-and-search duty at the time.
The invasion took the entire community unawares and left in its trail the death of women, many of them pregnant, children and the elderly in the IDP camp and host community who could not flee before the gunmen got to them.

Not spared by the invaders was the traditional ruler of the community, the Tyoor Nyiev, Chief Bernard Shawa, who, aside losing his two children, also had his cars and motorcycles vandalised and burnt.

Findings indicated that the majority of those killed were mowed down by the armed men in one of the classrooms which was converted to a sleeping space for the IDPs.

They were reportedly shot and killed in their sleep like common criminals on death row.

Just few of them actually made it out of the classroom alive but the majority of those are battling for their lives in the hospital.
The attack also left about 40 others in critical condition with many of them suffering bullet and machete wounds.



Ordeal
Some of the IDPs who survived the attack, including the District Head of the community who lost two children, Shawa,, narrated their ordeal and gave a heart-rending account of how they miraculously survived the attack and how their loved ones were gunned down by the marauders in their presence.

In his account, Shawa, amid wailing and crying from families in the community, narrated how the armed herdsmen stormed the community between 9 and 10 pm on the said day, saying, “I was sitting outside with my children when we started hearing gunshots from across the road.

“We were all shocked and we started running to escape from the armed men. Unfortunately, two of my children, a boy and a girl, did not make it, they could not escape; they were gunned down by the attackers.

“And because we have a point checkpoint on the road, displaced persons normally take shelter at the LGEA Primary School. The gunmen also opened fire on the IDPs and people in the community, shooting and killing our people as they spoke their language.

“Before this particular invasion, they had also attacked our community on February 25, 2023. On that day they killed 12 of our people.”



Throat cut

On her part, a 35-year-old nursing mother of three, Mnena Okega, narrated how her daughter, 10, had her throat slashed by the daredevil marauders.

“We had all gone to sleep inside the classrooms where we sleep when we suddenly started hearing gunshots”, Okega said.

“Nobody knew what was happening, there was pandemonium, I started shouting he names of my children and urging them to wake up and run.

“My first daughter, who was 10 years old, was among the first to escape from the window. But, unfortunately, while she was running away thinking that she was escaping, she ran into the armed men who were moving around searching for who to kill.

“One of them caught her, and even as she carried for help pleading that they should spare her, one of them pulled out his knife and slashed the throat of my innocent daughter.

“It was a sight no mother would want to see. That was what they did to me. They killed my daughter who cried and begged for her live. They cut her throat like an animal.

“I could not help her because I was running with my other children and I thought that they will spare her, seeing that she was a small girl.

“I was wrong, they killed her in cold blood. I will live with the trauma all my life and it will be difficult to forgive the herdsmen and I know that the blood of my daughter will cry to God for justice.”

Another victim, 50 years old mother of four, Yina Jime, on her part, said she successful escaped with her children through divine intervention.

She said it was still a miracle that she was able to escape alive with her children after being chased into the bush by the marauders.

She said, “When the shooting started, we all started running. My children and I dashed into the nearby bush, but as we ran the invaders where chasing after us.

“We kept running but when we could not go any further, we decided to hide ourselves with dried bush and grass.

“At that point the attackers lost sight of us and could not trace many of us anymore. We remained under the grass till it was safe to come out after they had retreated. “Unfortunately several of our friends especially women and children were not spared, they were killed. And in some instances we had mothers killed with their children.

“It was a sad Good Friday for us at Mgban. They killed women and children who ran from their ancestral homes to seek refuge were killed in cold blood. And the only way to ensure that they did not die in vain is for the Federal Government to ensure that their killers are arrested and prosecuted.”
