Nice . Any news carried by reuters is confirmed!

Seriously, I still wonder why Russia was given so much power by the west in the past to misbehave this way. Russia is just 2 points ahead of Nigeria in oil endowment. Russia is 8th in the world while Nigeria is 10th. They earn over 1b usd from gas sales daily.

I guess the west hates blacks else they'd have considered Nigeria for their gas dependency instead of going to Russia. Our bonny lite crude was adjudged the best in the world so, why are the west not buying from us as much as they do Russia and other countries of like-colour? I'm sure some people would ignorantly cite corruption but Nigeria wasn't this corrupt as far back as 90s and some western countries were even more corrupt than Nigeria as of then.

2ndly, our soil is more virile for farming than that of Russia. Here we don't always need fertiliser to grow crops especially down south.

Unfortunately for Russia, instead of using the gas proceeds to better the lots of their people, they were busy using it to stockpile weapons. My cousin who schooled in Russia and speaks their language like locals had to leave there after his studies . He said there's nothing in that country , no jobs . He left for America instead.

Back to the matter, why have we not received as much patronage as russua had done from the west on our crude and gas sale? If its construction of gas pipeline that's an issue, glo and mainOne had proved many wrong by channeling their Internet submarine cables from Europe down to Nigeria, which many banks and corporate bodies now depend on. We could have achieved our gas pipeline to Europe through North Africa. I think the west hates us.
Opinion needed and please be civi

You've made some very good points. But what prevents European Countries from patronizing Nigeria's gas was the required infrastructure which is the gas pipeline.

As per crude oil US use to be our major buyer before India and China overtook them. American reduce it's dependency on foreign oil by scaling up it's biofuel and upscaling of it's local hydrocarbon fuel production.

Our leaders failed to invest in the gas sector for it to be attractive to the European market. As it is now European Countries will be forced to invest in other sources of gas supply as alternative to Russian gas

Better than to allow NURTW National EXCO base in Abuja to cause problem in Lagos State.

SarkinYarki:
You don't even know what's happening even MC cannot out come out openly and say he is still collecting revenue because the FG is waiting for him to tow that line and the wlll declare him wanted for Extortion and racketeering..You think Baruwas silence for over 20 days was for nothing? They have been planning their next move carefully and they are now ready for MC..Kunle Poly has been granted bail suddenly and that should tell you what's up

Can Kunle meet that bail condition? Lagos State Government control parks through the Local Government. It is the Local Government that issues motor parks permit. So indirectly all motor parks control is under the control of Lagos State.

Mind you Baruwa election was bankrolled by same MC.
Which of the NURTW unit Chairman is loyal to Baruwa openly again?

This is Lagos.

Why should a die-hard PDP man be the one to advice APC?

Deji Adeyanju should sale that idea first to the PDP. Has he ever wish APC well in the past?

Premierlead You didn't work on bringing your level in terms of life style, dignity and self esteem. Being a market woman doesn't she have to be loose with everyone. Touching and any slight of romance should be a no no for any single lady not to talk of a married woman.

She may not be cheating with that man but definitely she is weak in character and discipline. Most lady that knee to greet almost everyone usually see validation through others.

You have to work on her thinking, psychic, self esteem and social values. You may be too academic for her liking. Try and be social with her if need be change her shop, accommodation and environment.
Be more social with her and your child, because from what I read from you. You need to create time for proper bounding with her and drop that efiko

What you saw is not enough to send her packing. Correct the vacuum from your side be watchful.

Do your findings to know if she is actually cheating, but divorce is not always the answer. Unless you caught her red handed in the act.

Islamically Ladies should retain their maiden name. That is what the Quran says. Hence the practice is more common in the northern part of the country

Shoodboi:
Meanwhile, US Treasury has set deadline to end deals on oil and coal imports from Russia until April 22

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202204/1257500.shtml

US didn't wrong nor betray it's allies. Other European Countries are still importing Russian Gas and Oil, except few countries with lesser populations.
The deadline set was very explicit. UK seizes was able to reduce it's oil and gas from Russia to 5%, Germany, Italy, France and other European Countries are still buying with serious search for replacement and upscaling so as to wean their countries of Russian oil and gas.

Moreover, the article sources were from Russia and China so what do you expect. Chinese were program to be jealous of US but 95% of rich Chinese wanted to train their children in American Universities.

Every individual is selfish when it comes to self preservation, which applies to countries. With all it's "negative baggages" US as the World power is still better than having neither China nor Russia. Every Chinese loans on infrastructure contain Mezzanine clause which give China right to control over it in case of contravention or default. That is why China is taking over certain infrastructure in Zambia and other Africa Countries. While none of the American loan comes with that nastiest idea. China that is mirroring everything American except human rights, human dignity and fight against racism is the one condemning US.

Detour2022:
In the Nigerian context, civil engrs don't build or design houses. That's the job of builders and achitects . They also don't maintain buildings. Building maintenance falls under what is regarded as building works. Read the national building code.

It's not about Civil Engineering alone, Software Engineers do maintain software. So Mrvitalis stands don't do maintenance job is the reason for the quote. Engineering jobs do not start and ends with Civil engineering work alone.

mrvitalis:
My argument ismaintenance is not the job description of an engineer simple

Engineers also do maintenance job. It depends on the scope and magnitude of the effects and process involved.

mrvitalis:
Sure they can but it's not the job description of an engineer doesn't mean engineers can't replace technicians if need be

A doctor can do the work of a nurse or pharmacist , or even lab scientists but that doesn't change the job description of a doctor

Notice the dress code for engineers n technicians ?

Engineers are theory, analysis and research based
Which is the difficult part

Technicians are mostly practical inclined which requires less brain power u are shown what to do n you do it

Engineers also do maintenance job. For that fact that Wikipedia excluded that in it's definition does not mean. It totally correct �.

Google should be held responsible, most of the people behind loan apps are thieves. I have reported a particular Loan App that is only have verification details more than twice. What does guys behind do is to comment and give 5stars to the app every day. With that google algorithm is cancelled out, it wouldn't detect the fraud and genuine complaints.

The worse part is that they don't go through complaint made directly to them.

The Federal Government should take them up

Cherrycherry you are the cause of his continue cheating sexual escapades. He is cheating on you but you always allow him to lie out his way. With this tell him no sex without condom. He will be angry and said why.

Let him know your health and safety is very important to you.

This will touch him.
1. It will send the message that he had been caught.

2..That he is risking not only his health but that you inclusive. Taunt him with word like "don't use that your mouth that is public kissing point on me." It will to get to him

3. That will lead to a more serious reconciliation heart to heart talk. You should know when to stop accept his apology.

I feel very sorry and sad for you. You are guilty in many ways it wasn't impulse. You claimed to be well behaved but I doubt it. You won't end up hitting your Mum if you haven't replied her back while she verbally charged at you.

If it was impulse you would quickly prostrate and start begging immediately not that you will free yourself. You might wound her more in the process.

Talking back to your Mum is very bad and that is the genesis of the problem.

Your father being the meek among your parents pushed her into that form. If not for her strong stand you would have end up worst. You Dad created the leadership void that is why she steps in albeit she may over do it but then she is your Mum.

Pray to God for forgiveness and quickly reach out to her for forgiveness.

Go and meet her for forgiveness, she may not accept your plea immediately but hold on to her feet and beg seriously.

May God guide you in getting forgiveness from your Mum.

Onyeama should step in and do the needful. No need for publication of the in the newspaper but he should use the opportunity to strengthen his network.

Freedom2022:
Hello people. Please i beg someone here who is sincere and have the fear of God and want progress for his fellow.

Please guys dont joke with this because my life ruined right now. I can't boast of anything in my life right now. I have NOTHING. and the worst part of this is that i owe all loan apps money. I owe about 20 apps money as of today and all loans due and they have rubbished me already which as been going on for the past 8 years too.

I have tried to find out what could be wrong with me and i believe there is an unfamiliar force in my life. I can't explain somethings here but i need a powerful/powerful men/man of God to lead me through because i am ready to embark on a journey to redeem my lost glory. I have tried several time on my own but i think i am facing a lot of resistance and i give up almost immediately. Some people call it "agbana" but this type is so strong in my life and needed to be broken else i will be finished completely because right now, i am at the last days of destruction.

Right now, i have run away from home and i have promised myself never to return until this chain is broken.

I will be reading advices and recommendations here and i pray God guide me to pick the best because i know someone will recommend something that will change the narrative.

PLEASE GUYS, THIS IS A LIFE ISSUE AND I HAVE GONE TROUGH A LOT ALREADY. PLEASE DON'T ADD TO MY PAINS AND SORROWS. IF YOU CAN'T HELP ME PLEASE I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF GOD TO JUST READ.

UPDATE

I think i need to add this. On 3 occasions, i got a very juicy high paying job with big companies in Nigeria. One is one of the top 5 big companies in Nigeria and have spread across some African countries while another is one of the top 5 companies in the world (It is a big company). But guess what? My offers on the 3 different occasions were withdrawn few days to resumption without any explanation. Is it a coincidence?

Your first and the biggest enemies are the loan app. Delete all of them. Anyone borrowing through loan app is just like exposing yourself to all forms of negative financial obligations.

Those two companies that withdrawn it's job offers was do to the damage down by your excessive borrowing.

Stop taking interest loan no matter the temptation. If there are pressing needs no matter how serious it may be. Don't take loan with interest. If you can't find anyone to borrow you money just relax channel your energy on or to make money without debts. Do pressing needs are all your makings. Time heal all things (demands).

Needadvice200:
Sorry I had to create new account to remain anonymous.

Please men of the house I seriously need advice. Straight to the point, we've been married for 6 years now and I love her so so much, our compatibilities is 100%. We have a beautiful baby girl and we are still currently living together at the moment.
Since we married things has been extremely bad for us unlike before we married. Though I myself was down with sickness for years that almost took my life but God revived me and she stays with me. My business doesn't require my presence (networking) because currently am still getting money but not much. let's say 20k average which of course not much for the family.

Now here is my problem, from 3 or 4 different CONFIRMED sources we were told that my lack of money it's from her that she belongs to a spiritual evil cult (Elegbe omo) that her own is spiritual rags group (egbe akitan, or alakisa) that whoever sleeps with them, their things will going down for them, finance wise and all. I hope I described it well tho and that even she herself is not aware but they do tell her severally. and she has been praying yet things keep getting worse for us.

in fact sometimes ago a pastor saw a vision for her that whoever sees her physically putting on a good cloth that she's beautiful but spiritually it is rags on her body. That she will Pray and fast for 3 days (deliverance) which she did yet things keeps getting worse for me in fact right now I am begging to feed.

When I realized this I stopped having sex with her for months and my business really really improved.
Throughout last year I can count how many times we had sex not up to 4 times and I did not cheat on her because I love her so much but for how long? It's not easy to be on the same bed with your wife and not want to have it but anytime we have it we must suffer for it for months.
The loan sharks on my neck are up to 7. Am just collecting loan to pay another to avoid their embarrassment. One is even threatening my life now (LCredit) as I could not pay the overdue

Thank y'all

The loan shark are the one killing you financially. Stop taking further loan dare the consequences of mockery, blackmail and threat from them, but be committed to repayments. Don't borrow to pay loan. Within a month you will be spending over 60k just to service loan that keep increasing. You will borrow 5k to repay 8k, 10k to repay 17k within a week, 15k to repay 25k in less than two weeks.

Sitting down and calculates the amount you are spending to service loans.

In Islam interest is forbidden.

WIC useless human rights? Nah human rights build d house for the man.Somebody told u he don't want u again/give a quit note but mbanu! U still Sidon in d house dey pick beans cook..We Nigerians are stubborn until force is applied,we won't shake/moved

If you are not knowledgeable enough to contribute meaningfully to the thread why not just read through to learn.

yemite100:
I made a post about a month ago on Nairaland about my landlord. He gave me a quit notice when my rent is yet to due, we have not been in good terms, I was rest assured that I still have three months left so no need to panic.

I got home now and saw carpenters removing the roof of my apartment with two abled young men which I haven't seen their face before, the roof of my apartment has been removed now.

I went to the nearby station to lodge a complain but I was told the man had come earlier, and told the police has giving me quit notice that he wants to renovate his house.

It's really a hard time for me and my siblings, getting a quick accomodation. He never informed us of renovating the apartment, I just lost my job last week and this is happening to me again.

My life is in a mess right now as I don't know where to start from, this is just a challenge for me and I will stay stronger and fight this battle till the end, probably God is preparing me for a better place ahead....

Make sure you lodge official complaint at the nearest police station. If that particular station don't want to take your statement go to another place. For the fact that he wanted to do repairs should not be to your detriment. Take pictures and seek the services of a Lawyer. If you are in Lagos you can go to the Office of the Public Defender. They can sue on your behalf.

Please be strong, don't fight him nor disturb any of his tout but be very strong to fight for your right. Your Landlord just bought market if you know your way. Pray to God and be committed to defend your integrity and human dignity. You should be ready to sue him for damages.

Ofodirinwa:
probably a night gala (owambe) rather than a 'nightclub'. The age of the people in the picture doesn't lend to the idea of it being a 'nightclub'. The people depicted are also upper class or dignitaries from their attire, which also lends to it not being a 'night club'

With the bolded you are wrong. You can't enter Bobby Benson without complete shirt,trouser, suit with tie. And if you are wearing a native attire it must be complete bubba, soko, agbada with cap. So their dressings were in line with the standard mode of dressing stipulated by hotels and club house in those days.

The guy should file an official police complaint for investigation and prosecution. What she did is a crime.

His Human right Lawyer should also sue for damages and psychological trauma.

For wicked woman

Poleski:
Antelopes don't sleep deeply. A part of their brain keeps them very alert to their surroundings and half asleep.

This one is obviously a calf, not fully grown and may be sick enough to be caught easily that way.

Surely the cocoa was fermented with alcohol.

MaverickA3:
real shayo o. It's very rare to catch antelope alive

The fermented cocoa is the clue. Alcohol might have been used to ferment the. Cocoa.

A friend once catch a whole parliament of baboons just by placing local gin (ogogoro) in a bow besides banana that have soaked with gin. They are woke up in chains. Monkeys crying like prisoners.

Sugarcious:
Finally some vindication! At least her name is cleared.

These goes a long way to show how people deliberately set up others for failure especially when they know you are going to be great.

Please read article again if you have done so before making the above comment, you didn't get gist.

Religiously, traditionally and culturally, is this acceptable?

Religiously NO. It is not acceptable in Islam

It's purely French magazine award. Very fraudulent. How can Kante and Benzema be 4th and 5th when votes are only from the Coach and Team captain of National Teams & Clubs. And Jorghinho is already 3rd.

dominique:
It all boils down to culture and tradition, if the tradition in where you come from states that the first son has rights to the property, you won't be able to fight this. Don't you have sisters from your mother or step mum? They don't matter abi? If you have sisters and you don't see anything wrong in excluding them from the property, them you shouldn't be too upset that your older brother wants to exclude you from same property.

Please always restraint from given I'll advise. If you don't know much about a Topic it is not compulsory to comment or contribute. I use to respect your moniker a lot but uninformed comment in the recent time proof otherwise.
NB: If you know you belong to a polygamous bsetting, just carry your eyes away from father's property and hustle to acquire your own property. A lot of people are in their untimely graves because they were dragging piece of land or one small bungalow with siblings.

Addendum: Some culture excludes female children from benefiting from their fathers inheritance, but the Supreme court has invalidated that. So how will first son be the sole or major beneficiary to the detriment of others simply because of a culture that doesn't promote equity and justice.

Favfables:
In the absence of a will, the next inline to inherit a deadman properties is his next of kin...

And sometimes people use different names as next of kin for different stuff, for instance, when opening a bank account, I can use you as next of kin and then not use you as next or kin when I get a land(or make a business transaction)...

Their best bet is to know who the next of kin is in the individual property of the man...

You are just misleading the OP next of kin has nothing to do with inheritance. Where there is no will or a man die apostate, the children of the man are the only rightful heir ones there is no surviving wife. The children should approach Court /probate to appoint an administrator. They should nominate themselves or people that can serve their interest.

Emefile strategy in protecting the Naira had been failure since PMB came to power

Tareq1105:
While I agree with you partially, I'm of the believe that enforcement of direct primary will deepen participation and reduce sharing of dollars among few people elected into Electoral College.

It is being deployed as a political tool during Presidential primaries

TheRareGem1:
VP never call for Naira devaluation. He only called for an official rate reflective of market reality. The current dual exchange rates allows for arbitrage and blocks inflow/supply of dollars from investors.

What does that implies. It means the CBN should float Naira to find it's level which is devaluation. Road to Zimbabwe, Nigeria run an import dependents economy, hence need to protect our currency. PMB tried to avoid devaluation but ultimately succumbed to the antics of propagandist and forex racketeers. Since the first devaluation during his government in 2016 Naira has never appreciated to any of its old rate.

PDP government were corrupt but our currency is not this useless. Nigeria is just a mysterious country, and Nigerians doesn't hold their politicians and office holders responsible.

What is your loction and contact

Lagos

Wisemum I really appreciate your efforts and courage. You need to up your game.

Call your husband to take the matter serious make a whole of issue out it. [/b]Tell him that he is not helping you in solving the matter as regards your son's wellbeing and future. Cry and let him know the danger you are sensing from the unholy relationship between your son and that girl.

As for your son talk him, let him realised that he lacks emotional intelligence. How can he thinks everything ends with getting sexual satisfaction? Let him know that life partners goes beyond unreasonable sexual escapades.
Ask him what kind of mother does he want for his children? Cry and let him know is a disappoinment. Beg him and warned him to put a stop to that unholy relationship. Tell him, you respect him to much, but he had disappointed you.

[b]Apply distractive strategy, engaged him with things and circles you want him to belong to.

As for the lady always keep a tab on her move even when she stays away from your son. Such ladies will not leave easily.

Pray to God about it.

You are indeed a good and great mother.
