Governor El-Rufai in this video said all the 36 state governors has agreed and proposed the use of both old and new naira notes side by side to the president and hope this will be accepted as the pains citizens are going through right now is too much.
Ehhhen.. We agree with you El-Rufai but that would be after the elections right? This man thinks everybody is stupid. Did you see there recent rally? No money to buy crowd o.. Tinub say no low-key rally but you rent big size venue ??
sanpipita: Northern votes will be split that is easy to predict, in previous election Buhari was like consensus northern candidate but now there's Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tinubu who is banking on APC northern structures.
You really think a northern Muslim would leave his follow Northern and vote for a yoruba Muslim? You have never wondered why an aboki living in a yoruba would rather put mat front of his door and pray than step foot inside a yoruba mosque?
Berrityga: What advice do you need? You didn't do prostitution and your back to your village to sell fruits. What do you want us to advice you on?? Many girls do hookup in Lagos and is one of the most profiting business in Nigeria now. So you missed out on a huge opportunity. Continue selling your fruits in peace and I wish you all the best. I bet your not a virgin and one dirty village boy is frying you like egg for free but allow clean guys fry you for money is a problem. Continue!! Like I said wish you a the best.
Them really need to do National Census again, make we know people way well for Nigeria. You must be an animal
destiny4luv: Good day Nairalanders.l; let me go straight to the point. I work off-shore so most of the times I am not always around, some times I can be at work for three months and be given one or two weeks time- off that's just the nature of my job.
But they is something troubling me seriously, when I give my wife instructions regarding anything at all she will first of all ask my Mom before she carries out the instruction I give her, that's if my Mom is in support of the instruction. Recently I gave her an instruction regarding a particular matter while I was on time-off, only for my wife to call me fee weeks later that she has carried out the instruction when the time I told her to carry out that instruction is not yet. I was so mad at her I asked her why can't she wait till the time I told her to do it; she said my Mom came over to the house and told her to do it so she did it. At that point I cut the call.
Later that day my Mom called me and was asking why I cut the call on my wife and refused to pick her call even why she was calling back, I told her she was the course, and she said how, and I told her why will I give my wife instruction and u will come to counter that instruction without the both of u letting me know not after the did has been done. My Mom was angry that can't she have say in my home, I told her to an extent not to the point of countering my instructions. She was very angry we both had some argument on the phone before I told her am late for work I want to cut and she hang up, she knows I was seriously angry with her. Since that day she hasn't called me and I haven't called her too.
My wife called me and apologized that it won't happen again. I forgive her and we both made amend. Now my Mom is not talking to me and my wife at the moment. Please what I did was it wrong or did I over reacted?
I love and respect my Mom likewise my wife, but I won't want her to control my home for me. Should I call her and apologize to her or just let her be till her mind comes down?
Freshtruth: Me and this girl have been dating for over 7months now I have even.introduce her to my parents . so last week I decided to take her and have a good time at the club on our arrival there is this young guy who order for 7 Hennessey and 10 Andre at a spot Dorime sound was played for him.

Badhguy: You can still have up to three kids, all (AS) if you go head. It is from the 4th child that comes out as (SS). You can confirm this by asking your doctor.
lhordspy: "Unintelligent person" That is what same Nollywood you are trying to famz; dismissed you as.
Just as they tagged you, giving you a befitting adjective. You are still ignorantly trying to justify the 'tag' by acting like you can't comprehend the simple 'rejection message' passed across. That was an insult from the Nollywood guild not compliment. Mr man
How can you be expecting people who tagged you 'unintelligent' , still unintelligently vote for you?
You are truly 'unintelligent' , Mr Pandora.
Na people like you make Nigeria dey where e dey I swear. People are vying for change and good governance but your tribalistic ass rather let the nation burn just to see a yoruba man rule. You don't even care what he has to offer Nigerians?
See Nigeria with over 200Million people still debating if they should vote a drug lord, a national thief or a prudent whom no one has never brought out his dirt.
God1000: Putin tried to have him killed, he didn't just succeed, he even invited Chechen fighters and they made several unsuccessful assassination attempts
The order Putin gave his soldiers then was to either kill or capture president zelensky, but his evil plan was thwarted by Western intervention
Meanwhile Israel under Bennett refused to condemn the invasion despite millions of Jewish people living in Ukraine, Benny didn't send any single weapon to Ukraine despite several requests from Ukraine because he was afraid of putin
it is crystal clear that Israel doesn't want to provoke Russia and suffer the consequences in Syria
I still prefer a unipolar world led by USA, hate them all you want but USA is the only country that is strong enough and willing to fight for the liberty of every man and woman in every corner of the world.
US is the reason Ukraine is still fighting a superpower country for nearly a year now, US is the reason Putin will never expand his empire, US is the reason China won't dare make a move on Taiwan, US is the reason north Korea will never attack south Korea, what about Iran in the middle East.
I can go on and on, let's just give them the respect they deserve
Wife of Mr Ibu has come out to social media to cry about what her husband, Mr Ibu did to her and how he abandoned her and her children, not paying school fees or providing money for upkeep. She also accused him of extra marital affairs.
This is sad. Watch where she's been assaulted by Mr Ibu.
Do people even know what an assault is? I can clearly see him asking her if he did wrong in marrying her?
Ehmmah588: Stop the lies please.....We were five in number. Then I left them to visit my aunt.......Please and please,none of us was armed...And for your information, I'm the fifth guy
ruggedtimi: I am a neighbor to the family of one the victim. His parents/siblings ever since that incident they have been living quietly and isolated. They don't mingle with people around the estate especially the father of the boy. I havnt seen that man walk on foot for the past three years. You can't even park around their fence , surrounded with "Police order for no parking". So sad!
There is no healing from that. No therapy for that. E get things way go sup for your life, you will never remain the same. I have seen people loose their sanity after much trauma.
kingthreat: I saw that video leaked on Telegram groups. Men in black up and down and blue beret were just throwing gunshots in the air to salute one guy. In SA, these guys have access to confirmed English so playing cultism there is way more deadly. Whoever brought senseless murders into confraternities needs to be cursed to the end. On that same TT group over 10 pictures/videos of the hit have been shared. Say no to cultism.
What's wrong with men? Getting a matured woman on your bed this days is the most simplest thing
As at today the number of women is far more than that of men...go to tertiary institutions and see alot of women
Walk the street in the evening especially around 6pm to 7pm and see alot of single matured girls coming back from work....flow with them and have a little sense of humour and I bet you they will be yours
Therock5555: This would be a long read, bear with me, this is how short I can summarise everything.
On the 20th of this month, I got awoken by a brutal knock on my door. The knocker wouldn't state who they were and wouldn't stop knocking violently either, even though I just woken up, I had a gut feeling that something bad was absolutely going to happen.
I had just gotten a fresh stash of MJ earlier in the week and it was proudly sitting on my center table. I immediately grabbed it and wrapped it in my blanket before I went to get the door.
My fears were confirmed when 5 fully kitted NDLEA officers pushed me back in, demanding that I bring it out, I didn't need a soothsayer to inform me that I was so screwed but as a bad guy, I feigned ignorance.
That didn't stop them from wrecking my room thoroughly until they found my weed stash, two sweet slaps landed on both my cheeks, still they never stopped searching until my house was looking like a hurricane ran through. Not even my food items were spared.
When they were satisfied, handcuff landed on my wrists as I was led out after being allowed to put on trousers and a T-shirt.
My neighbor Hood choke as everyone wanted to see who the unlucky scapegoat was. The walk of shame was unbearable, I could see my neighbors gasping in horror, I am probably the most snobbish dude around, I do mind my business to a total dot, I don't roll with area folks, I hardly laugh with anybody except you find favour in my eyes, I keep to myself, hence I was arrested alone.
Two brothers were picked up from a hotel nearby before we arrived at their holding facility. It all felt like a dream until we were flung into a rather large cell which had approximately eight other guys, the Jail 'Presido' as he was referred to had an amputated left arm.
As per 'comrades in 'Igboh', we were asked reasons for being there and spent some minutes getting to know ourselves. A rural leader's son was there also, dude was blowing dope and strolling on the road when he was accosted. The Presido asked us to feel welcomed and gave us some tips on what to do next in order to be freed quickly.
The cell is a hundred times better than that of a Police station, there was a small short rug carpet where the Presido and his vice sat or laid, another big mat contained the others, we the new entrants had to manage bare floor. Thankfully there were no bed bugs or insects, and the stink wasn't too bad, a plastic bucket was placed at one corner for urine collection. The only time the place smelled would be when someone wanted to take a leak and uncover the bucket. Damn.
We the new comers were taken out to write down statements and call who would come bail us. I placed three calls to sure contacts but the major thing on my mind was how to drop update on my story thread, unfortunately my big phone was seized, so I had to manage the small one for calls, the phone had to be on speaker phone so that the officers could hear what ever was being communicated.
Unluckily, no one came for me that day, I was hungry like mad but I lacked appetite until I gave up hope and managed to partake in somebody's food after the Presido asked me to join the person.
As the Presido, any food that was brought for any of the inmates, he had the first choice of either partaking or taking which ever part of the food or drink before the owner of the food eats.
Before nightfall, five more guys were arrested, everywhere became congested. The way I laid down, I couldn't even turn or stretch my legs because I'll touch someone, somebody's legs were next to my head, my eyes were open all night long cause the leg kept falling on my head, damn it was dreadful, that was my first night in jail since I was born, I truly hated myself.
Next day, one of my called contacts arrived and started negotiations, I wasn't privy to how much was discussed, I was only brought out so he could identify me before I was taken back to cell.
While he went to source for funds, the second contact I called arrived and promptly told them that my folks were in town, me wey write for statement say my people don park go back village, Choi naso matter wear Mini skirt.
They collected my dad's number and called him, not before mercilessly kicking my ass for writing false statement. My dad wasn't even In town that day but he promised to be back the next day.
The first contact was called to abort his fund raising mission because my dad took over the case. Naso my supposed one night turned to two nights.
On the third day my dad arrived and completely refueled the situation, he was expectedly very mad at me and fully committed me into their hands. Matured man like me, I was being dragged from one office to another like generator rope, kneeling down and being trampled around like I robbed CBN.
My folks left without so much as a word to me. When I was thrown back to cell, the other guys were shocked to see me return, they couldn't believe that I wasn't freed yet. I didn't mind either, I had grown quite fond of the cell because food choke die, and I was already up to the position of vice Presido, the current Presido had only one leg, the former one was bailed out that morning.
Those NDLEA officers are raking in cash like crazy, the lowest bail collected per head was 15k, and that's if your folks know how to negotiate well, if you fall maga, them go collect you.
One G-boy that was caught with his babe shelled out 50k without complaining despite the fact that no single exhibit was found on him, he managed to throw away what he had on him before he was apprehended, but he still paid nonetheless.
My dad returned a day later with a new pair of clothing for me, I was glad I'll finally be out, he informed me that he'll be right back. Hahahahaha. I saw him two days later, Right back my foot, that man left back me, he simply paid for someone to bring me food twice a day.
Nobody spent more than 2-3 days there, if you did, then probability is that you'll be sent to Maximum prison in the state capital. My hair that I have never completely cut since 2010 was ravaged with scissors, that was the first time scissors was touching my hair too, I still received 12 scintillating lashes on my back as payment for the dreadful haircut, I swear two drops of tears comot from my eyes, tears I never knew still existed, strong man in the trenches.
One of the officers really helped me, he was charging my small phone and taking my calls while passing me information when he could. We were allowed a phone call per day and toilet section only in the morning, afterwards, you're OYO.
To cut long story short, I finally became the only person left in the Cell, naso I became king for my lane, I was miserable, I'll spend all day singing to myself and rethinking about everything I could think off. I managed to remove a nail from the ceiling (don't ask me how, spider Man movies no be lie), and proceeded to incript my name on the wall of Fame which contained dozens of other names, I never shyed away from adding "Füçk NDLEA" any chance I got.
The officer that was charging my phone became concerned after awhile when he realized that I wasn't leaving there soon, I pleaded that he helped sign my undertaking letter to get me out, he agreed but informed me after enquires from his superiors that I was slated to remain there for atleast two months to recover completely. My folks felt that was the right decision for me.
Nobody asked for my consent, I was treated like a three year old, see old man like me dey knee down up and down.
When I got to know my dire situation, I faked an immediate Malaria syndrome, I threw up at a moment's notice and grabbed my head while rolling and shivering like an epileptic patient. That got their attention. Before then I only had opportunity to bathe once every two days cause I was allowed out by 6am everyday just to either sweep offices and pour out the bucket used for urine collection or use the latrine.
But due to my supposed condition, hot water was heated and I was even given Dettol soap to bathe with, the officers even bought more food for me and I was allowed to sleep in their boss office.
My folks were called and everything were signed, even though I still sorted out my bail money myself. Atleast I don comot.
Anyway I'm back to my parent's house. Back to square one, my properties were either sold, given out while few were returned back to my parent's house.
Heck I was smiling that no one touched my PlayStation, atleast I can continue my rehab at home while gaming all day long and eating mercilessly.
The down side is that, I'm being treated like a drug junkie, all my accounts have been seized and I'm only given money for specific things. Nothing spoil Sha, atleast I'll use this as a motivation to stop cruise.
I spent approximately seven days there, I swear it felt like 700 years....
God no go shame us...
Be grateful that you still have a family, that comes through for you.
I do observe that most married couples don't find their selves attractive unlike when they started their relationship before marriage.
I have experienced three married couples like that.
I remember when this my neighbor brought her wife to be then, this man is very jelous and he always challenge her when he sees her chatting with guys in the compound but some years later, they did wedding and she gave birth to two lovely girls but now all those jealousy of those days, he is not doing that again even if he comes from work he will just over look the person chatting with his wife and he comes back late in the night.. weekend he will be indoor not minding the wife is outside still conversating with neighbors I mean male neighbors,but then who dares go near to interact with her before marriage.
Even the other couples they will be doing as if they don't know each other .. I learnt that he said he doesn't find her attractive no more but what made him marry her? Didn't he see the signs she is not attractive.
Even also it happens to ladies that will later say she is tired of her husband.
jonili: I've seen numerous topics in the past about toxic workplaces but I never thought I was going to find myself in one of them. Share your experience and how you were able cope till you left.
I'll go first.
My current employers are indians, I've heard stories about them and how toxic they are, but I am not the type to generalize, I always believe most of those people who complains were just unlucky to meet mean indian bosses but my perception about them is changing, between Dec 2022 and Jan 2023, more than 8 people have resigned, some left without resigning just to have peace. Salaries are paid towards the end of another month, no confirmation for staffs, no appraisals, no promotion or salary increase, no good process, people are always assigned tasks that aren't their responsibilities, bosses always nagging, with narcissistic tendencies.
They lack good leadership skills, their only method of communication is to yell at you, they would try to intimidate you, blame you for their mistakes, they also believe they can always get away with anything. I feel the only I feel the only way to manage the situation is to get away from the toxic environment. Now I feel like resigning just to clear my head but I can't quite just to sit at home and they are very much aware of the high unemployment rate in Nigeria, that gives them even more confidence to mistreat Nigerians.
Share your experience on how you were able to cope before getting another opportunity.
Lol.. you must have worked in a steel industry. Asians are the worst set of people you can work for. You will work your life. No matter the amount they pay you, it will question your sanity and mind peace.

Newsmic: Emefiele Has Weaponised The CBN And Is An Enemy Of Democracy - FFK
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has slammed the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, over the new monetary policy, IGBERETV reports.
The CBN in December 2022, introduced the newly redesigned N200, N500, and N1000 notes and has said they will cease to be legal tenders by February 10.
Taking to his Instagram page, FFK stated that Emefiele has ''weaponised the CBN and is an enemy of democracy.'' He called for the cancellation of the new Naira notes policy until after the elections.
