Omo, no be lie you talk oh, but make we reason am small. Geh geh no be only about chasing babe, sometimes na just coded way of talking about enjoyment or flexing. Even some married men dey use am when dem dey gist, no mean say dem dey run after woman.

And again, make we no too judge sharp-sharp. Some married men still dey fall into that lifestyle, not because dem be mad, but because dem never balance their priorities or dem never adjust from single life to married life. Na maturity and discipline matter pass.

So instead of calling dem sick upstairs, I go say na poor decision-making and lack of focus be the real problem. Marriage no automatically change person, e just expose who you really be.

Hamachi:
And that’s exactly the problem with some men — they mistake physical investments for true responsibility. Owning four houses and 20 buses doesn’t mean much if your wife and children are left to struggle with basic needs. A man’s first “investment” should be in his home, because a hungry family and neglected children will never celebrate you for how many assets you have outside.

It’s like building a mansion but refusing to fix the leaking roof in your own bedroom. Yes, assets are good, but what’s the use when your children can’t boast of proper care or your wife feels abandoned? True wealth isn’t only counted in properties; it’s measured in how well you provide comfort, security, and dignity for those who depend on you daily.

At the end of the day, buses and houses can be sold or lost, but the love and respect of your family is priceless — and once that is gone, no amount of “investments” can buy it back.

Reminds me of one guy wey dey count meat for pot give him wife...

The day I lost all respect for him was when I burst into his kitchen and 'caught' him dipping his fingers inside the soup pot to count the meat left.

Na that day I know say no be only psychiatric hospital mad men dey. Some are roaming freely.

It's not uncommon to see this particular guy quarrelling with his wife over pieces of meat and such trivialities.

So annoying to me and I felt disgusted.

Food is a basic necessity of life. Even if person one dey stingy not with food...as long as there isn't wastage and done in moderation.

Honestly to me na poverty mindset dey cause such over kaku!

WizardOfNG:
A lot of Nigerians blind themselves to reality hating one thing/person or the other. Ghana is terribly expensive and it is irritating ignorant and self-hating Nigerians keep referencing her as "economically superior" to shade Nigeria.

I remember earlier this year, with the usual talk of Ghana currency "superiority' to Naira, I had to factually prove that Ghana redenomination of her currency does not make the cedi more valuable than naira because removing zeroes does not increase a currency's spending power.

I showed, factually, a product sold in both nations, in real time, cost around 700 Naira in Nigeria whereas it's equivalent price in Ghana, converting cedis to Naira, is around 2,500 Naira.

As I said earlier, hatred of ourselves make us the biggest enemies of progress to each other.

Imagine the ignorance and self-hate making some Nigerians insist the worthless cedis is more valuable than Naira simply because the 20 cedis you mentions appears of greater value compared to her Naira equivalentof 2,816 Naira.

Yet inspect the purchasing power parity (PPP), the real determinant of a currency's strenght and measure of inflation, which shows a 20 cedis (2816 Naira) haircut in Ghana is 1500 Naira (10.65 cedis) in Nigeria.

Meaning Nigerians pay half of what Ghanaians pay for haircut. Yet self-hating Nigerians are still bashing their own nation.

Bro, shey you see why I push for regional autonomy daily? A country full of different ethnicities who hate themselves and act like enemies more than fellow citizens plus the biggest and most ignorant demarketers of each other, can never forge a great nation.

Much easier for ethnicities that love themselves to develop great regions of Nigeria instead once freed of 'one Nigeria' restrictions.

Jeezuzpick:
He used Nigeria's funds to procure a ship for Nigeria (kini big deal?), but named it for a title his own daughter currently holds.

Una wehdone.

Olu1000:
Keep deceiving yourselves! This will not stop the popularity of PO and ADC / Labour Party candidates! Is ADC government at the at Federal or State level that they can have access to voting materials ? Only a party that controls INEC or security agencies can have access to these materials!

Jughead29:
We are not fools that could easily be deceived by this APCs


Smart person should know that's this was just to discredit ADC.

Am not a supporter of any party. But let's be calming down... The length at which these politicians go to do damage control , if that same energy was in place, economy would have been very far better

shortgun:
He means that the Yorubas are an expansionist ethnic group that has absorbed many neighboring minority tribes and imposed their culture on them through brutal conquests . This is why there are no significant populations of other ethnicities in Yoruba-dominated regions today.

Stop deceiving yourself.
Ijaws in Ondo State have over 300 Communities.

Uppercut to the Yorubas. He denied his ancestors.

Apoi in Yoruba would be pronounced Akpoi..

So grow up.
If you say Apoi then you are Ijaw.
All P is pronounced as Kpi in Yoruba so grow up.

Millions of job offers are being rolled out daily but to secure a job is like taking a donkey through the eye of a needle.

I've sent out more than 30 application this month; 2 replied with outright no and the rest was met with silence.

No call nor message to prove my worth and experience in the field.
I believe recruiters can do better.

Getting a rejection mail is better than waiting in vain.

TINUMBU is speaking through this bishop by proxy. He'll pretend to have the interest of Igbos while all the while targeting to divide voted of the opposition for Tinumbu.

WHEN THE BRITISH BRING IT BACK TO THIS SICK NATION, THE NIGERIAN WILL CALLED IT CHOCOLATE, YOU FAIL TO PROCESS IT HERE IN NIGERIA, AS YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA😀

irumole1975:
Many men are self absorbed especially Nigerian men. I read a post on Twitter yesterday about a man who find out his child isn’t his and the wife has been sleeping around with her ex. The man on knowing this stopped all responsibility on the woman and called the marriage quit. What a weak man.

Strong men forgive! They don’t resent and dwell on past mistakes. The children should not suffer because of the little mistake from the mother. Talk to ur wife, ask her why she cheated, apologise to her and let her know you still have her best interests at heart. Marriage is all about forgiveness.

Also, you can try talk to the man she cheated on u with and tell her to stop sleeping with ur wife. Thai way ur wife will know u truly love her and her respect for u will increase.

Nigerian men should learn to swallow their ego

Esthered:
Not really the reason some women stay in toxic marriages not relationships.

My hairdresser survived domestic violence and left after 5 years with 2 children this year.

Should she have stayed and died because of people like the OP?
The man beat her almost on daily basis and one day beat her (she was pregnant) that she passed out and was hospitalized and she eventually left as he wasn't responsible for the children's upkeep while the marriage lasted.

Let's not use one person's opinion to conclude that they're all bad people. Osinachi would have still been alive if she left with the children

10thTenthMan:
You are working at and on which offshore location?

YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM TO WORK OFFSHORE. I REPEAT THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM TO WORK OFFSHORE. IF YOU HAVE UNDERGONE THE BOSIET, OSP PROCESS, TSbB, etc YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS FACT. EVEN WHEN YOU ACCESS THROUGH HELI OR TbB IT IS NOT MANDATORY. HOWEVER, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IT IS A GOOD SURVIVAL SKILL TO HAVE THOUGH.

IF WE ARE TALKING NEARSHORE/SWAMP OPERATIONS, THEN I WOULD BE CONCERNED. GONE ARE THE DAYS OF SHELL SWIMMING TEST. AND BACK THEN IT WAS FRAUGHT WITH FRAUD AND THE TRAINERS SEEKING BRIBES IN CASH AND EVEN KIND (FROM WOMEN) TO PASS THE TEST TAKERS.

WHETHER 480K (BASIC CREW HAND/CONTRACT STAFF) OR UP TO 7-10 MILLION (OIM), YOUR SWIMMING SKILLS DO NOT PLAY ANY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN OFFSHORE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY. THE BARRIERS AND HIERARCHIES OF CONTROL DO NOT CONSIDER SWIMMING SKILLS. OVER 80 PERCENT OF OFFSHORE WORKERS IN NIGERIA DO NOT KNOW JACK ABOUT SWIMMING. FROM AGBANI IN THE EAST, TO AGBAMI DOWN SOUTH, TO NOW DEAD AJE FIELD AT THE EXTREME WEST.

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED, AND YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR MIND TO REST, THEN DURING YOUR TIME OFF (7-14 DAYS DEPENDING ON YOUR ROTATION) JUST AND SIMPLY FIND A GOOD INSTRUCTOR AND LEARN THE LIFE SAVING SKILL.... SURVIVAL SWIMMING. IN LAGOS, BENIN/WARRI, YENAGOA/PHC, OR EKET (WHERE OFFSHORE OPS BASES ARE AND STAGING HAPPEN) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND A GOOD INSTRUCTOR.

Freshtruth:
My salary is 480k per month in an offshore job but I can't swim I need advise


I am thinking of quitting the job

dontai:
He borrowed less than #3 million to pay back #9million.
Fair money this is not fair atall.

guobe:
He said he didn't borrow money and he is having a negative transaction history.
This is my first time of seeing such a transaction history.

zinowealth:
I love what is happening and hope it get to the point where igbos will have sense by force. Go to ago palace, heavy structures for hotels and residence 98% igbos. One I know is for sure if the igbos decide to be wise and develeop the east. The regrets will be on the west cos tee economy in the west especially Lagos will seriously be affected and by the, the igbos would have started understanding the importance of developing their region and there will be no going back by then. Rents and other things that traffic help go high will drop.many things will change if that can happen

Very hardworking guy.
Always advertising online with the cheapest prices.
His "assassination" should be thoroughly investigated.
He was starting to dominate a reasonable share of the fish market in this country. I wouldn't be surprised if folks who felt he was running them out of the market are involved in this dastardlyact..
The police should spread their dragnet across the country, especially towards the South West. Folks over there see job/business/political competitions as a matter of life.and death..

obembet:
I believe t is very natural for a woman to love her own child. It comes easily and naturally.

But with what I just saw on X today, it shows that's not every woman love or care about children.. expecially this ladies of nowadays.

Of course I believe every life matters but this message this lady take it so different.

Is This Statement Normal As From Responsible Woman?

professorPABX:
YORUBAS are just about 25% of people living in Lagos the rest are immigrants. Coming to your point, they are very foolish. Baba Ayo Adebanjo carried the battle of OBI IBO Presidency as the battle of his lifetime and he died for that battle. Baba Fasoranti is still alive today to the glory of God. It was Dr Doyin Okupe that brought the case of OBI and IBO Presidency to Baba Ayo Adebanjo. It is spiritual that both died almost the same period and never witnessed Tinubu's Second Year in power.

Sheuns:
People from Ogbomoso, Ogun, Osun etc that are opportune to hold elective positions in Lagos are renaming streets of non-Yorubas after Yorubas that have no roots in Lagos state.

The Aworis and Eguns will respond to all these in the nearest future.

You guys can enjoy your time for now. No deed will be left unrewarded.
