Ceenaija: They think that they can outsmart the Fulanis.They have been dribbled and it is gradually becoming reality to them I was thinking the Yorubas will rally around and find a reliable candidate from the south east they will trust and support him or her for presidency for the sake of the future and southern unity.Instead they allowed greedines and selfishness to becloud their reasoning.They thought that other southerners don't have feelings or interest and that they are the one to decide for the whole south.
With this attitude the south will serve the north for a very long time.
.
It's not late.
I believe they can still step down and support Peter Obi before the general elections.
IduNaOba: PO is a movement I am sad Sha because I desire to see igbos focused on Igbo land alone. No disturbance No fighting for posts Just build it all back home
But since it's this way... Udo dị
Truth, PO is really a movement. My wishes and prayers are with him.
gambia: Labour party has no structure locally, its quite impossible to make a difference in the upcoming presidential election, thats just the simple truth.
Biggers82: ATIKU Gave Us $10,000, WIKE Topped it To $15,000. ATIKU Then Increased To $35,000. BALA is Giving $5,000 - said by Delegates this is serious money moving around Sha
BigTableShaker: For the thief mind, 08 upwards dey consume fuel and it doesn't move in the market unlike the 03-07 version that you can put one litre of water and it will run from Lagos to Abuja.
Ghost1994: For my car maintenance especially daily routine before I jet out in the morning:-
I know many people attended lasdri training and I find that training very useful.
First thing I do check before starting my car early in the morning is
1. Belt yes the belt and why? Because even the so called tokumbo sometimes can fail you on the road anything can happen I don’t trust belt we do buy so due to experience I make sure I checked around the belt. If I notice any wornout, I might probably change it and also I make sure to have extra belt.
2. If you’re using Corola I mean regular 03-07 I make sure I check oil seal if it’s leaking. Because many corollas out there Dey short oil especially if you’re using it for this hustle. To change Corolla oil seal is just 1-3k depend on the mechanic and where you buy parts. But for Honda Civic 06-09 I make sure I checked under the bottom if there’s no leakage Lagos roads is sometimes bad and you might not have an idea if you’ve hit a terrible stone that’ll make your engine or gear oil to be leaking.
3. For corollas yes I kept on insisting on corollas because na them plenty pass and I’ve got one here. Make sure you check your oil stick level. Corolla Dey short oil even Ladipo self most of them na engines wey dem buy from owode majority go reboil and resale. Even if you carry Imam or Pastor go Ladipo you’ might still fall victim talking from experience tokumbo of corollas engine no too sure for Ladipo again.
But for Honda Civic I love this particular car engine cos I’ve got one too and other brands check your oil level if it’s short top it with the recommended oil brand by checking the oil cover you’ll know which one is recommended for your car.
4. I check the coolant level if it’s short I top it. Because sometimes our weather is unpredictable.
5. I use to make use of my wiper fluid while driving and I’ll just top it too.
6. Check your four tyre round and see if it’s less and also your extra tyre if it’s less remember to fill it. For tyres you can check Aliexpress.com, alibaba.com or Jumia check for tyre accessories you’ll get tyre gauge it’s cost less down 2k on Aliexpress it’s good you’ll know the level of your tyre gauge easily.
So basically for me, these are few things I make sure I check before leaving home for hustle in the morning.
Some general experiences for newbies that love hustling at night:-
1. Make sure around 8-9pm you fill your tank with 4-5k of fuel. It’s very important because the only place you’ll be able to get fuel around island is enyo filling station ikate and mainland is ojota by odo iyalaro.
2. Make sure you have change like 200 100* 5 to sort police should in case you fall victim of any documents whatsoever.
3. Never argue or no your rights at night whenever armed policemen stop you for night.
4. Never ever for any reason collect a package delivery for night. It’s dangerous and set up. Many drivers are currently in jail for this act. My experiences was bad with things like this:-
Have got a request around one estate along kusenla road he called me with cool voice and go on like this below:-
Rider: mr. Saintrow good evening sir how’s your day going and work sir. Me: fine sir in my mind I have doubt on him R: sir I’ll be waiting for you at the gate Me: ok I zoom got to pickup R: waiting already at the entrance with a Package—— sir this is what’s going sir Me: please what’s inside the package and can I open it I mean tear it and video it with you? R: why will you do that sir anyways I understand it’s for your safety but na popcorn Dey there sir. Me: guy stop fooling me how can you transport popcorn worth less down 500naira to Ikoyi with 1.5surge nawao na drug Dey there alaye. R: bros calm now I go pay now. Me: guy my nickname is ghost if you doesn’t stop this shit I’ve got you on camera I’ll report you to the authorities very useless idiot naso una Dey make jjc fall victims. R: ran inside with sorry That’s it imagine carrying popcorn 500 to delivered to girlfriend very useless idiots so be vigilante guys.
5. Never ever I repeat Never ever collect anything from passenger to hide from Police at anytime. It’s a trap you might land in jail.
6. Don’t ever listen to any rider whenever you sight law enforcement at night. Many of those riders that’ll shout run or take another route might have a dangerous weapon to kill you and collect your car. Make sure you face the police whatever happens is not in your control so far you don’t have anything don’t worry police no Dey disturb Uber.
7. Don’t ever accept offline at night it’s very dangerous cos if anything happen to your drunk rider maybe he/she die the only thing that’ll help you is your ongoing online trip.
8. Don’t and never have any goodies, chocolate, biscuit or whatsoever to offer riders I don’t follow bolt/Uber trainings on what they said we should have to entice riders for ratings. Guys America is different from Nigeria you don’t know what the rider has taken before entering your car he or she might’ve taken poison to assist the journey you com give am your chocolate na you police go hold oh.
9. If rider fail to pay you fully or none don’t fight physically cos you don’t know the kind of fate he or she has. it’s might be setups because most of them are walking dead i wrote this on my last article. You fit curse them but don’t fight physically
10. If your instinct tells you that rider(s) seems dangerous at night drop them it’s a sign from God.
11. Don’t carry 2-3 guys together at night. Haaa it’s scary experiences especially if they’re coming from clubs majority go don high and some might’ve good intentions for you but then naija is dangerous.
12. If you’re carrying a guy (huge guy) at night never allow him to sit at the back. He’s huge he fit make you sleep with just chemical or strangle you and please always watch your inner mirrors should in case you carry ladies too.
13. Should in case you’re tired and want to rest, never sleep on the Lekki Epe expressway. ESP on that folix lounge road that’s too risky for your life. Make sure you go Fola osibo, street opposite farm city Lekki one, freedom way by presken hotel is not bad too, but don’t sleep on major road and admiralty road too never sleep there.
14. If a rider begged you for cash never give them it’s a trap na fake transfer them wan do. Carry them go atm make them withdraw.
15. If a rider tells you that they don’t have cash to give you at night, and they can’t do transfer, but once they get home they’ll go inside and bring your money (this always happened early in the morning esp with runs babe wey dem no sell) tell them to drop their phone or anything valuable and go inside to bring your money. Never allow them to go no matter how they sweet chatted you.
16. Some places to sleep on the island:- Lekki 1, chevron by alternative road, Osapa London is not very bad too in front of those hotels, Dmatel hotel, kusenla road by that stadium, mega chicken, sky mall sangotedo many people will add join.
For Victoria island:- Eko hotel road, Oniru beach, many hotels around oniru is safe too, Cubana, quilox and many more.
Yaba: sabo only. Surulere: bode Thomas Ikeja: off Toyin, Allen, shoprite and many more from people comments below.
17. If a rider call you and tell you that you’ll pick something for him at mushin and bring it for him or her in ajah on sososo surge but you’ll give the sender money like 1-10k guy it’s old format. Na foam you Dey pick and on top of your fuel you’ll lose and cry.
Last but not the least
18. ALWAYS DUST YOUR CARPETS AND RUG AT NIGHT SOME RIDERS MIGHT'VE DROPPED TABLET OR DRUGS AND IF POLICE DO STOP AND SEARCH YOU DONT HAVE CAMERA TO PROOF YOUR INNOCENCE IS BAD.

I stop from here today God will continue to guide and protect us.
determination26: Matrix is as good as a Corolla in my opinion, same engine, same parts, same fuel consumption. If you look at the manual, the name written is Corolla Matrix. Another good brand for Uber/ bolt is Honda Civic, it's not plagued by the usual leg wahala and the fuel economy seems to be better than Corolla from my research(I may be wrong though) and it doesn't seem to be a theif magnet like Corolla.
awhizzle101: Ok Guys, this is a long read so bear with me.
I had searched for so long for anything or topic related to Gynecomastia in Nigeria to no avail before the poster of this thread finally did and after that I followed it up keenly. I would like to salute the courage of the poster and to say he has inspired me to share my story and process with others that might be suffering this same condition.
You have no idea how psychologically paralyzing this condition is, others might not see it as a big deal but trust me it is. It is a huge deal. What other guys take for granted you are unable to do. Simple things like wear your favorite Tshirt, taking off your shirt in public, play soccer with your guys, going swimming becomes scenes of immense torture to your mind. You are intensely self aware when you wear shirts that your nipples are protruding and therefore everyone is staring at you. The biggest damage this condition does to a guy is psychological and the effects cannot be understated. To every guy suffering from Gynecomastia I know your fears and share your pain.
I have had with this condition for about 20years plus now. I first discovered it in secondary school and now I’m a 34year old man with my own family. I tried everything from when I started having puffy nipples to try to hide it, I used the elastic band from my boxer shorts to wrap around my chest. Lol. After that I researched some pills (bad idea) Pills do not work by the way. Please do not even try to use them, total waste of time. I naively thought at a point that It was just some kind of fluid that was under there that if I buy an injection syringe and suck it out I’d be fine. Lol. I eventually convinced my parents back then that it was indeed a problem for me and we went to see the doctor but he told me not to worry that it would resolve on it’s own. It never did.
For years I was sad, depressed and distraught and eventually I gave up. I became a master at hiding my condition throughout university no one ever saw my chest, I would go to the bathroom with boxer shorts and hang my towel around my neck just so no one would see my gyno. One thing I stumbled on though that gave me temporary reprieve for many years is the black electrical tape. After trying cello tape and plaster I eventually landed on black electrical wiring tapes. It Works guys. This was what helped me through all these years and I was able to mask my puffy nipples and wear shirts that were fitted and gave me some semblance of normalcy to my life however fake it was.
I always knew that one day I would have surgery as that was the only way to fix this. During my NYSC in Abuja I finally found a plastic surgeon that could do it. She did it under local anesthesia and she did take out some gland but unfortunately for me, she didn’t do nearly enough. She just cut me open for nothing because after weeks of waiting to see any difference there was none. I was intensely depressed not to talk of how pissed I was cause I had spent 180k and this was a lot of money back in 2011.
I have lived with it since then with me and my black tape. I had a black tape everywhere, in my car, in my work bag, at home just so I’m not caught slacking. Lol
I came across a plastic surgeon in Lagos recently and I decided to have another go at getting rid of this Gynecomastia once and for all. From the consultation he put my mind at ease and told me he would use a combination of liposuction and gland excision. Anyways long story short I had my surgery done finally on Wednesday and I’m healing nicely. I’m still in my compression garment so I haven’t seen the result yet but I’ve seen a video from the operating table when they were taking the gland out and for the first time since I can remember in all my life my I saw my Nipples FLAT. My Gyno is finally gone guys. FINALLY!!!! After over 20 years. I still don’t fully believe it. It feels unreal. All these years of suffering just Gone in under 2 hours.
I’ll share my pictures and my recovery photos with you guys as I progress along. I hope I’m able to inspire someone with this condition to not give up and stay positive. I know it’s tough but it’ll be ok in the end.
