He is right tho and in fact, thats a very dumb and uninspiring thing to do

Some folks here voted a confused and Idea-lacking feminine voiced clown from Trinidad and Tobago, a chinese slave who feels Singaporean system of Govt practices is the best thing any developing African country should try out


I noticed those folks suddenly became the chief enemy of the state since their principal lost during the election period, so bad that they anticipate negative projections and swear at any positivie statistics as being a mere propaganda

If u do this, Know that u are the least evolved form of man around and should have lived in the stone age

I shake my head when I read this kind of joke.
Nobody hates their country for no reason.

Everybody that is complaining today deep down they want the country to be l run the right way. when there is peace security and prosperity why won't you love your country?

Someone who was robbed by police at gunpoint just for being young and driving a car went to the police to report and was locked up and frames for robbery. Despite all the call for justice the police officers kept their job. How can this person love a country like that.

You think that US or UK got to where they are by clapping for clueless politicians. All the clapping you did for APC since 2015 how has it improved the country. Tell me just one thing that APC has done to better the lives of Nigerians since 2015.

Holding a bad government accountable is not the same as hating your country. If the politicians love the country that much they will make sacrifices, cut down their excesses and live by example

Princedapace:
It is not a crime if opposition uses the failure of the ruling party to gain point and protests. Protests are led by opposition parties in other countries.

APC has never allowed opposition to protest since 2015. Buhari would use military and police to shoot at protesters. A government that got to power through national protests is afraid of citizens protest

Bahamas95:
Baba God please protect all Nigerians in South Africa from these demons.

Very important prayer 🙏

nairalanda1:
You should forget about the tribe. It has nothing to do with what is happening.

For over 5 decades, you have lived with the illusion that fuel is cheap. The illusion is breaking, and we are seeing what other African countries are seeing...that fuel is expensive. Very much so.

Tinubu is trying so hard to maintain the illusion. But as you can see cracks are appearing

It is time we all accepted fuel was never cheap in the first place. Maintaining the illusion has cost us billions of naira and four refineres.

What is the meaning of illusion for a nation that has crude oil in a abundance? What is the use of a government that has zero benefit to citizens?

Every nation in the world subsidize essential commodities for her citizens including US, UK and other advanced countries

You people are very wise in your small minds. What good has removal of subsidy floating thennaira and increasing taxes achieved?

Y'all will keep decieving yourselves until naira become like Zimbabwe currency

Prince2324:
Yes she's getting better, I saw her yesterday at Abakpa Enugu state when she came to buy peper that they use to cook Grammy pepper soup.
Celine Dion was very happy when she saw me and i was like what's wrong with this lady can you shift.

You mean you saw Celina Odion?🤣🤣

Biglittlelois:
How come it is usually Men that cry more than the bereaved? I don't understand.

Because men are the ones who get to part with their hard earned assets and pay child support. Marriage in the west is a scam against men

Validated:
Yes ooo! Dollar is now $1500, so when I send $1000 to my domiciliary account, I get N1.5m equivalent Naira and in 2 weeks, it s value rises by 30%. Who says renewed hopelessness is not real?

Don't rejoice too much they are coming for your dollar account too. They want to convert all dollar balances to naira by force

TalkingBird:
Hypnotism at work - no way out.

No help from any human in sight.

It will only get worse

As in strong jazz. They will keep suffering and smiling. If elections hold again today they will still queue up in the sun to vote APC after collecting satchel indomie and cup of garri

akyus:
"“We have to turn to God and seek his forgiveness, because what is happening goes beyond human explanation. Imagine an increase of N10, 300 within 30 days on a 50kg bag of rice and no one is saying anything?".
I don't think we have anything to say now as individuals, the people who we elected as senators and house of representatives to speak for us have become onlookers. We would have to wait 8 years before we do the needful at the polls, that is if we are still alive.

Make una leave God alone abeg. When it was time to vote the people voted for oppression. God will give you choice between good and evil. Whatever you choose is what you will live with. Nigerians are very proud. The useless people who voted for APC are still defending them despite all that's happening in the country.

If elections were to hold today all these people complaining will still vote the same APC so I no dey pity for anybody. Until people start dropping dead or hunger their eyes will not open

Godfullsam:
Shut up pls and top repeating this useless chorus of 'we will teach obi lesson' bla bla bla..

It gives you out as a senseless, myopic and pained loser.

Only idiots like you will think someone like obi would have made any tangible difference if he is the president.

You sound so pained. Ok Obi is not the president. You need to face the disaster you voted into office. What are his achievements in terms of economy since inauguration? In what area has the economy improved under your clueless Tinibu?

pocohantas:
I did expect a lot from him.
I thought that man has sense.
But I know better now. He probably never did anything special in Lagos. He just got lucky or maybe Nigeria is bigger than him.

To think it is less than a year in office.

And we have 7 to go. His diehard fans should add 7 to their current ages. Someone like Kaypèrry would be at least 50.

What is Nigeria's life expentancy again?

When true lagosians were telling you that he has nothing to offer apart from more tax and inflation people choose to be delusional.

Funny enough Nigerians will never have sense. If elections were to hold again today they will still line up in the sun to vote APC after collecting 2 indomies2

Zanzibar1:
The government is not in control of the dollar.
Can't you see the spike in naira to dollars rate, and the government measures to control it

Government is not in control? Are you alright??

mu2sa2:
Instead of all this dancing around, they can easily adopt the tradition where you must bury the dead within 24 hours no matter what. After the burial everyone goes their own way in pursuit of their livehood. Shikena. If you doubt this go to the north to confirm.

Northerners are mostly Muslims and their religion dies not support elaborate burial. They don't even buy casket

How dem wan take get side chic na?

Jonathan:
Good.

No respect for Naira, same reason why exchange rates is at all time WORSE.


IF TINUBU GET SENSE, NOBODY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MORE THAN 10K DOLLARS IN THEIR DOM ACCOUNT. ANYTHING ABOVE 10K SHOULD BE CONVERTED TO NAIRA FOR THE OWNERS AT OFFICIAL RATE.


WE SPEND NAIRA IN NIGERIA AND NOT DOLLARS.

Lol Is this the best solution you can come up with??🤣🤣

one4GOD:
did he tell you what caused the fight also he didnt mention if she was the one at fault, see comment....mtchewwwww

Why do you sound so pained? Men are no longer falling for these kind of manipulations.

If you know anything about relationships then you should be able to decode who is at fault from the original post

God1000:
Alamieyeseigha once disguised as a woman to escape from UK.

I'm more concerned about what netanyahu said yesterday that Israel will not leave Gaza after the war.

More land-grabbing under whatever guise is completely unacceptable, Israel should withdraw its troops immediately after the war and allow Palestinians to return to their land.


I salute South Africans for their bluntness and for being the only country in Africa that isn't afraid of Israel, we have more sane people in that country

South Africans are busy bodies seeking cheap popularity. Nothing will come of those empty arguments. ICC can give whatever judgement they want and let's see who will enforce it

faceland:
I think I would forgive (after a little bit of warning). Eat, bath, make love, bath again (so the pepper doesn't burn her).

Aba, that is a lot of effort.

That is how women manipulate men.

Cooking that food is her normal duty. Nothing special here.

Infact It takes far less effort to apologize verbally than to prepare food.

A woman that is too big to admit when she's wrong will give you nothing but sorrow later in life. You go turn to mumu for her eyes

Gerrard59:
Thank you for your explanation.

Apologies for the question, but since it is an anonymous forum; why did you leave those churches? If it was based on relocation, why did you leave the north? How come those churches are not popular amongst Christians in the south? How come they don't have branches in major cities in the south (apart from cosmopolitan Lagos)? Finally, what is your opinion about the young women who are members? Say compared to their counterparts in those other churches I mentioned.

ECWA was established by the Sudan Interior Missionaries who worked predominantly in the north while the baptism/Methodist missionaries workes in the south West. So that explains why you won't find much of ECWA, COCIN ERCC etc in the south. Just a handful of them are here and like I said they don't believe in opening too many branches. So when you move from north to south you're most likely to change church.

I don't know why you asked specifically about young women (oya talk true)🤣
Well, Young ladies in those churches are very traditional and homely. The church doesn't allow women to wear trousers or dress provocatively. Just be modest. Single women are allowed to join the women fellowship so that is one avenue for mentorship and guidance. As in every population there will be an outlier but most young Christian women from the north are discent.

Lemme stop here

ElSudani:
40 people, mostly Ibos were massacred in Owo, he never went there, not even a condolence message.
I am not fooled by his recent shenanigans.

Did your president go to Owo? Obi is not the president. Leave the man alone and face the disaster you voted into Aso rock.

Killings and kidnapping everyday but you like it because of politics.

MyExpression:
Road Transport administration should encompass rural and urban transport planning, vehicle maintenance and security, traffic control even at Wharfs.

If anyone has a link to Transport policy makers, do connect me, I'll like to be part of this transformational project.

If we get it right, other countries will come to study our model.
Books will be written bout us.
A greater Nigeria awaits us.

You need to first stop NURTW from collecting illegal taxes from drivers first

Rekyz:
This makes a whole lot of sense. There is every need for the road transport industry to be regulated. If established, the council should ensure that cost of transportation is reduced and FG should also fulfill the promise of reducing petrol prices.

I don't think that cost of transportation will reduce unless this new council can do away with touts and cancel state sponsored NURTW. I don't see that happening, instead transportation fare is likely to increase because the council will also introduce a federal tax in addition to what transporters currently pay state and local council plus agberos.

My opinion

Gerrard59:
OK. Thank you for the explanation. So, what makes ECWA or COCIN in this case, different from the likes of RCCG, Winners Chapel, Salvation Ministries, Christ Embassy and the numerous churches in Nigeria?

Orthodox churches are considered to be more rigid in their church doctrine. You can't just wake up and open a church and call yourself a pastor. You must attend a seminary for years and learn under a senior pastor.

They are not sensational or show oriented and they are generally more focused on teaching doctrine and church welfare than building multiple branches in every city or flying private jets. I'm sure you don't know the name of ECWA president cos he's not popular and it's deliberate. There is no emphasis on prosperity preaching or seed sowing. When there's a need the church secretary will announce and people will give willingly as the have. No cajoling, guilt tripping or compulsion.

Every baptised member gets a copy of the church financial statement in hardcopy with statement of income and expenditure. Church finance management is very transparent

Slytiger:
The only people that got suspended are those 3 coupist countries. Other democratically elected president should not and cannot be sitting down with and encouraging coupists. We are not in the 1960s Africa.

Well they said they are no longer interested in your ECOWAS anymore. You seem to forget that it is a voluntary association. If the citizens of a country decide that they are fine with military rule bacause the civilian thieves in agbada have failed them why is ECOWAS insisting that they must go back to a failed system?

Coolestguy2023:
I wonder how you people think. How did Tinubu singlehandedly took any of the steps he took? Does it work that way? All the actions he took was a collective decision by all Ecowas member States. But has the Chairman, he is to announce such decisions to the general public. Is that too have for you people to know and understand

The buck stops at his table. If member states take decision to ban Nigerians from their countries will tinubu happily announce it? A leader should be circumspect and tactful. I hope Tinubu and those defending his careless statements will learn

Gerrard59:
Are those Orthodox churches? How are their worship services and mode of practice?

Pentecostals consider them orthodox because of their mode of worship. They sing, dance, preach, teach just like a normal church. They believe in the holy spirit/baptism and you can speak in tongues in your private prayer but if you speak in tongue to the congregation there must be an interpreter. Their doctrine is pretty much straight forward and less complicated.

I enjoyed every bit of my time worshipping I'm ECWA

Coolestguy2023:
IPOB miscreants and Obi supporters say Ecowas should not invade those countries to restore democracy. Now they are crying again and blaming Tinubu for allowing military to take over those countries and there subsequent exit from Ecowas. Wait, is it that some people have permanently lost there sense of logical reasoning?

Tinubu took a wrong step by threatening them with military action. Tinubu keep making mistakes trying to assert authority he does not have. Nigeria and ECOWAS are not Lagos state where his word is the last command.

Now ECOWAS is disintegrating under his watch. Does this make ECOWAS stronger or weaker? A leader should act with tact and wisdom

Rach310:
It's really saddening that churches now are not focused on the true work of God,they have really made a lot backslide,I never thought there would be a day it will be this difficult to find a church to worship cause all of them looks the same,going to church now is just for going sake because everyone is working for his or her own pocket,its such a pity,may God help us cause christianity is drifting away from what its supposed to be and these pastors are not helping salvage it,what a pity.The little that these instrumentalist and singers will use to hold body even in this hard time is what you want to take away.
I respect you Sir but this is a no for me.

You captured my exact sentiments.

Sometimes it's very discouraging when you realize that most people who call themselves pastors are just out to build an empire for themselves and their families and nothing more. The way that money is managed in churches are so opaque unlike old orthodox churches back in the day that will announce every dime the church collects and give account of every penny that is spent and the church account balance with a printed copy handed to church members. I've seen this done in ECWA/COCIN church when I was in the north.

Nobody pressures you about tithe/offering/first fruit etc. A welfare department exist and is funded from church money. I hope those churches still practice these things though.

Pentecostals came with this "pastor knows the best and cannot be questioned" mentality and the rest is history

mrrandomguy:
Good development. In fact a ban on "nylon bags" should follow ASAP.

What irritates me is the ignorance of so called educated Nigerians and some Nairalanders who happens to be among the dumbest set of people on the planet.

Styrofoam and plastic/nylon bags have nothing to do with global warming.
I see people mixing up soil and water pollution with the scam called "global warming". They are not the same.

Global warming is an illusion created and promoted by a group of billionaires to gain more power and control over society.

What we should be concerned about as environmentalists is land, soil, air and water pollution, not "Global warming" which does not exist.

Thank you for stating this.
Everybody seem to be blinded by the global warming hoax. People do not think or research anymore

JessicaRabbit:
Financial reasons for living with your parents after marriage are perfectly valid. However, painting it solely in this light risks overlooking the potential emotional tapestry woven into the decision. Perhaps you just cherish the closeness, enjoy the free babysitting (ahem, grandparental bonding), or simply revel in the delicious aroma of your mother's legendary pepper soup wafting through the halls. Love, convenience, and tradition all play on life's stage, not just the cold, hard cash.

Your post also implies that parental disapproval lurks beneath the surface, even if unseen. But is that truly the case? Open communication, not assumptions, is the key to unlocking understanding. Perhaps your parents, wise souls they are, recognize your current situation and offer their support, financial or otherwise, with open arms (and maybe an extra plate of pepper soup). Every individual experiences situations differently, and what constitutes "fine" for one might be a recipe for disaster for another. Introspection and honest conversations with your loved ones are your guiding lights here.

Now, to your final inquiry: my response stems from a potent blend of experience, observation, and a healthy dose of philosophical musing. Having witnessed countless relationships navigate the complexities of living arrangements, I've gleaned valuable insights. But ultimately, my role here is not to dictate but to illuminate, to offer perspectives and challenge assumptions. The tapestry of your life is yours to weave, and the decision of where to lay your head rests with you and your partner.

👏👏

JessicaRabbit:
Let me unravel this societal yarn for you. If your parents have a sprawling palace, and you've got a flourishing career nearby, who says you need to flee the nest like a startled pigeon?

Living with your parents doesn't equate to failure; it's a choice, a practical one at that. If the cohabitation vibes are harmonious, and everyone's doing the cha-cha of happiness, why disrupt the rhythm?

Marriage isn't a swift exit strategy from the parental abode; it's a union built on love 💑, respect, and occasionally stealing the TV remote. So, to those wielding judgment like a bludgeon, I say, let people nest where the heart is content, not where society dictates. After all, a house 🏡 is not a home if it's not filled with love, whether it's your own or your parents' overflowing embrace.

I like how you write... nice and fluid
