Buying condoms in Nigeria has always been awkward since the days of rice and dodo

But i was buying Vitamin C for Covid prevention and one guy with tatoos all over came through to the pharmacy and shouted, give me Viagra....I did not look at him, others did not, he just collected, paid and left.

I guess in some areas we are not hypocritical after all.

Born2conquer:
Lol!! See what my GOVERNMENT is posting as CONSTRUCTION!

If not that we are used to suffering in this part of the world, should as sensible government call this construction? Is this ROAD CONSTRUCTION?

Big stones that will end up puncturing car tires? Big stones that will leave the roads more damaged! Na e we dey call construction?

Who even do us like this for this country?

Come to ABEOKUTA NORTH! Nothing! Not a single DEVELOPMENT since the time of BABAGINDA.

And we have a Government! Dey invested more in PR and photography than in actuall work

And during election some buffoons will collect money, then seat around and drink beer after voting for a continuous perpetuation of this rape of our commonwealth.

Vision2045:
Mr slapper....my comment was based strictly about the road up there....not the history of Ogun state roads....the roads you mentioned has been in deplorable state for more than 2 decades.....until the previous administration commissioned a half done Alagbole Akute bridge while abandoning the Akute lambe bridge project....so I know what am saying Mr slapper......my point is those critizing the palliative measures, misjudging it as a road construction project.

Ok. I won't slap you again.

Vision2045:
for those judging wrongly.

The move is just a palliative to make the road motorable.... Construction of a brand new road to
commence after the rainy season as promised by my Governor...

Read before you cast a stone don't be lazy

If i slap you....


I had to abandon my house there after many years of troubled accessibility. Panick while going home, panick whille coming out. Damaged all my vehicles and those are SUVs. I judge Ogun state governors using alagbole-Akute-Ajuwon-Olambe-Oke Aro roads. The moment you hit Lagos state portion the difference becomes as clear as 7up. Ogun state is messed up

Naijasurveys:
Your assertions are not true. Our study is not connected to any national statistics. We are just ordinary post-graduate students interested in the report of current rise in loss of taste and smell experience among we Nigerians. Peace!

There is a proper approach usually adopted for research purposes. There is no statement laying the foundation that you are pursuing a research and need data for that purpose. I do not believe you. What is the intention of the research. When you collect the raw data and analyze them, what do you aim to prove? What is the hypothesis? I am not sold on this story. Whoever clicks this your link does that at his or her own risk. Peace.

Naijasurveys:
Dear all, due to the increase in reports of many Nigerians experiencing recent loss of smell, loss of taste or both in the past few months, we wish to gather information as regards this for research purposes only. We humbly request anyone who has recently experienced loss of smell and/or taste to please participate. Your identity and responses in this study will be collated anonymously.

This survey takes less than 5 mins to fill and we will be grateful if you will kindly participate by clicking and forward this link to others. Thank you

They have send you abi? You want to inflate non existent statistics on Covid abi? Tell them say you no see us ooo.

Edo and Warri no dey carry last. Edo actually usually leads in most things, how they yielded to Lagos state is still a surprise to most of us

Dotherightthing:
21. Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.

'thwarted' was also spelled wrongly......

since you are auditing spellings...

EdmundChidera:
Ikpeazu is the best governor he have done so much for Abians

Better say this is sarcasm, else I will swear for you right now

Ahmed0336:
is it safe to say that Umahi is best Governor in Southeast?

It is unsafe to say UMAHI is not the best Governor in South east

You're an id1ot, but then I'm not surprised cos according to your own signature you're delirious.

If OP had no sinister motive why did he pay pay a bribe of 10K when he should have stood his ground.

Next time first remove your pea-sized brain from your anus before you make a comment!

Stand your ground and get wasted by drunk idiots. You sound like them.

Really, am really furious right now and I see it as her intruding into my personal space. My babe just took my phone and uploaded her pictures with different captions like my love, my babe, my heart etc.
I saw them on my status and deleted them and she is angry.
Really, I see it as her intruding into my personal life. Really am very furious at her and she doesn't see anything bad in what she did instead she is giving me attitude.
Really? Am I wrong?

I am very angry with her too...give me her number let me talk sense into her

Please if you are reading this post do not just read and pass a sister and single mother is on her knees in dire need of your help.
I am a single mother of two working at private secondary school as secretary and teacher . For the past four months life has been unbearable for me and my two kids, no salary not even good food, you need to see how hungry looking the are now, a close mouth is a close destiny I have to drop shame aside.
This morning my landlord summoned me with so much anger in him threatened that he is going to throw out my properties this coming week that he wouldn't accept anymore pleas from me that he needs money to fix things. My yearly rent payment has been due since January which normally I pay twice a year (six months two room apartment). I learnt his wife has told him to kick me out and his serious about it.
Please am on my knees begging every kind hearted nairalander of this great forum, no matter how small it is, at the least let just present something to him then I will try my best for subsequent ones. I have no other option right if he should carry out his threat than to move to the village and that will derail the destiny of this promising kids God has giving to me. I am begging please. You can help me through this acct no access Bnk 0807 344 826. May the Almighty God shield,bless and favour you richly as the week proceeds.

If what you have stated up here is the truth (which i strongly doubt), reconcile it with this post of yours...

No wonder, please try to correct the bolded sentence in your initial post.

Doctors are usually sound people, but since you went to ilaro college of education to study medicine I can understand your predicament

We no talk say Doctors no dey sound, wahala be say, work no dey for country. They cannot even travel presently as they used to do because there is as yet no offshore trips because of the prevalence of covid. There is also no guarantee that they will be travelling soon. We are all mess.ed in this country for now.

One thing for sure, she go first you commot from police station if them raid all of una

murphyibiam15:
I'm not arguing about the celebration thing.. So you're saying Aros don't deserve good roads and other good things bc they celebrate festivals or what?

Chai....Bros...You completely mis-read my post. Sorry for mentioning you. How and why won't we need good road na. I just follow you dey rub mind ooo

E go be...

murphyibiam15:
Yet the roads leading to their place hasn't experienced tarred road for the first time.. Is not about having big men, what about the poor people from there, how do they move their farm produce, or the poor aren't entitled to have good things too?

The guy you quoted is very correct. I am from there and I visit there at least 3 times every year (New year/Easter/New yam festival/Christmas and any other time that I have a need to).

Generally speaking though, Aros are not farmers so the issue of moving farm products does not quite arise. We buy from our neighbours who are mostly the ones that farm and this explains why that town is very expensive. Of course you will find few people who plant for personal consumption and they certainly move their products home as they know best.

Bekool:
What has the local govt chairmen being doing with all the federal allocations all these years? What will it even cost the local govt to repair this small place?

They have been whacking the money bro.

I mean ravenously whacking every dime.

hisgrace090:
Arochukwu town!


A travel to this local govt will make you weep for them do to chains of neglected bad road in need of urgent attention that seems to be coming from nowhere.

People did not know that so many towns in abia state have not witnessed asphalt roads before and such town are up to 65 percent of the state towns and villages.

Our roads are bad, admittedly so, but to say we never experienced asphalt is a white lie. I grew up seeing the last vestiges of good asphalt laid roads reportedly constructed in the era of Michael Okpara. Unfortunately government after government has continued to do nothing as far as roads are concerned.

You may wish to know that Arochukwu had telephone lines and pipe born water way back in the days (i used to call home from Unical before GSM came into existence in Nigeria). Mary Slessor brought Scottish impact to that ancient town

Having said that, the truth is we have fared badly with ourselves and even those in authority and for the avoidance of doubt, Arochukwu Kingdom has always had men of timber in the corridors of power. Infact in the era of PTF, the Director of programs working directly with Buhari is an Aro son. He could have single handedly added that project to whatever they were doing then. We have the likes of MAO Ohuabunwa who served several terms in the Houses, at the end of the day it is what it is. Where we have now graduated to is coming home with choppers as a sign of having arrived. The average Aro man has an SUV because of our bad roads. Our governors right from Orji Uzo Kalu through to the present Ikpeazu man are just there to chop.

bekpo:
I came from a very humble background, I lost my mum at age 12. My dad as at d time I gain admission to study law in d university had retired as a civil servant with ministry of works. While in school, I acquired all d knowledge and contacts I needed to b a successful lawyer. What most of us needed then in school was just d certificate of call to bar because I had gotten d requisite skill, knowledge n contact to b a successful lawyer.

Today, it paid off. I live in Kudang Street by Chinese restaurant opposite Banex plaza Wise 2 in my own house I bought. I also acquired a luxurious property in Asokoro, Gwagwalada, Wuye, Jabi and an estate along Kubwa recently. Back in my state, I have properties in choice areas in d state. I have no other job apart from law practice. All my acquisitions are proceeds from law practice.

If u don't make d best out of ur job, u will remain in poverty d rest of ur life. It has absolutely nothing to do with d profession rather an individual.

If a lawyer can't move a simple bail application in court, how can such a lawyer b successful subsequently? If a student doesn't take his or her studies seriously as a student, how can such a student b successful in that profession tomorrow? Make d best out of ur profession.

I am impressed. I share your testimony. I am a lawyer, i practiced for a while and joined corporate employment. I am modest enough to admit i have properties and currently live in one in Lekki. I have another i moved out from in the mainland. I have landed properties along airport road in Abuja, Calabar and built properties in my state Abia. Some dummies who have refused to work up the ladder are here uttering annoying gibberish. It is so annoying.

https://thenationonlineng.net/paris-club-refund-row-350m-fees-consultants/

Above is the link . Ned Nwoko and his collegues were actually owed $350 million for the case against Paris club. The amount to be returned was $3.5billion. What they did is arbitration. At that point a corporation or country has no choice than to pay the 10% required by an arbitration lawyer and keep their 90% or lose all.

Let's take Manchester City case at CAS for instance. If Man City can pay Sterling , De Brunye et Al, and even buy players for 250 million pounds, what makes you think the arbitration lawyer that defended Man City against UEFA lawyers won't get 10 million pounds for the case when all the money they used to purchase the players would have been wasted without an appearance at UEFA champions league in two years or relegation to League 1?

Lawyers get paid as much as 500million dollars for multibillion dollars arbitration cases. In fact the price is 10% like agency.

Law practice at that level is like sports agency. Your clients determine your pay. While the agents of Ronaldo and co are paid in 8 figures, the agents of Sunshine United players are paid in 4 figures.

It's not charge and bail. If house/real estate agents at Lekki do not joke with their 10% what makes you think that high level arbitration lawyers will joke with their 10% after years of education and proficiency?

Bros you sef you have the time to argue and contribute to this worn out argument. Ignorant people do not know that there are lawyers employed in various sectors of the economy. All they think about lawyers is the fact of being an advocate. They do not have the brain power to know that lawyers are also solicitors and make huge amounts from that alone. They are ignorant of the fact that every company is under an obligation to employ a company secretary and in at least 90% of the times, it is lawyers that mann that position. I mean the likes of NNLG/MTN/All the Banks/NNPC/ All the telecom companies, endless opportunities.

I am so sick and tired of dumb fo.ols coming to discuss lawyers and their profession. Please tell me that a fresh Doctor gets a job automatically in this country or even an engineer.

It is even a lawyer as a professional who can start making money from day one by standing around the courts as they claim. Where will an economist stand? in the market place? Where will an engineer stand? By the road side or under the bridge? Where will a Doctor stand? If it was that easy for all other professions, why are they leaving Nigeria in droves.

Failed people are just there looking for reasons to perpetuate their failure.

I am proudly a lawyer and in my next world (if there is a thing such as that) I will still be a lawyer.

In all cases, take a stand and take responsibility. People should stop inundating us with their failed attempts at either qualifying as lawyers or being serious enough to make something out of the profession.

If they cant make it as a lawyer, they will not make it as any other professional. You cannot give what you do not have. Never.

zedegit:
Are there any honest police men?

Didn't you see he tagged their official link but they ignored him?

The only good policeman is a dead one. Frank was my course mate in the law school and we were close when he was the PR man in Lagos. I never failed to remind him that our friendship ended when he joined the force. I think he is still a nice guy but with that uniform on him..
Naaahhhh...i can't deal.

SavageResponse:
I understand your pain but I need to ask...

Why are you going around with contraceptives?

Is that not supposed to be the preserve of ladies

You just sounded dumb. Its like asking a lady why she should be found with a condom. Which of the laws says contraceptives are only preserves of the ladies. Cant a man take them along for the lady? You have the mentality of those policemen, are you one? I suspect you are.

Wolgrace:
Autopsy will ascertain scenero behind it. Like indirect food or water poisoning, or self direct poisoning. It can also reveal her last mood before taking the poison, whether forcefully or willfully. If forcefully or direct food/water poisoning, the culprit is her husband because his hastened decision to bury her against her family and traditional rules is suspicious.

But it is hard to cheat autopsy these days because blood is a physical testifier of what we do and what happens to us.

Blood speaks and tech science hears.. This is the scientific mystery between the blood of Abel and omniscience God who hears. For this purpose, God created techs for us.

God is great..

I hope you are right. I dont argue what i know nothing about. I honestly and sincerely hope you are right. Cheers.

Wolgrace:
Some took poisonous substance because of bully. You know some bullies comes from argument? Argumental mockery bites the flesh like the serpent and pierced the bones like the sword.

She might be too fragile to bear it, so auptosy will ascertain the cause..

Autopsy will affirm she drank poison not who administered it. They should for circumstantial evidence to tie the husband to the drinking of the sniper...that will amount to poisoning. For now they are just holdint the man for the sake of it.

Vianna:
In my opinion, I think it's no longer as lucrative as it used to be and it's a very sorry situation. A lot of lawyers roaming the streets, they are suffering. Some of the many problems are

1. Too many graduates, little job slots

2. Senior colleagues are not ready to give the younger ones a chance

Most lawyers are "charge and bail" . They roam the streets and advertise their services to potential clients and they don't even have a place to call office. Many of them loiter in court premises all day under the hot sun and await the arrival of the police, hoping that the police would bring some accused persons who do not have lawyers to defend them. The moment this happens, the lawyer would approach the accused (usually agberos, louts and unfortunate Nigerians who the police had decided to transfer his frustrations on. ) and offer his service either directly to the accused persons, or through his relatives or friends who followed him to court. After a certain meagre fee is paid. The lawyer will appear before the magistrate and orally apply for bail, which in most cases would be granted if the offence(s) is a bailable one.

Being a lawyer in today's Nigeria is overrated, studying in school for 5 years to become a lawyer is a waste of time. To me it's more meaningful if used as a part time job while you venture into business or entrepreneurship.

Even this argument and conversation is overated. Do whatever makes you happy and take responsibility.

Xisnin:
The suspect is not so bright.
You wanted to insult a politician and you decided to impersonate your target.



This opinion is from a charge and bail lawyer, no wonder he couldn't secure his client release.
Nigeria law forbids impersonation even online regardless of the purpose of the impersonation.

But the bail is too high for the poor boy who only wanted some attention.
His lawyer should reapply for bail adjustment.

His lawyer can go to the same court for a review of the bail terms or approach another court or as last resort go on appeal .

But all these children sef. So you must impersonate to be recognized. They will just be looking for wahala everywhere

the question is asking how many people are in the room, regardless of whether they are alive or dead. Whether someone is alive or dead, they are still a person, therefore the correct answer is 35.

There is an alternative answer that depends on the way i choose to interpret the question. The fact that there are 34 people in the bedroom is stated after the statement that you’ve entered the bedroom. Therefore, someone could assume that there are 34 people in the bedroom only after you’ve entered. In that case, the answer would be 34.

If you disagree with me, argue with your ancestors

first thing first, how old are you?
because if you watch okocha, during 1996 Olympics, okocha's effort was monometal in Nigeria winning that competition, during the 1993 German season, his goal was awarded the best goal of the season.
in 1998, his move to PSG made him the most expensive player in Africa as at then.
when he came to England and played for Bolton Wanderers FC, he was made the captain of team because of his contribution to move the club away from relegation zone.
in 1994, he was among the super eagles players that won the African cup of Nations.
I'm not sure, if you watched JJ, cus he was called JJ for a reason, u think if he was from Europe, u would written those things against him?

You get time ooo.
