Grasscutter with zero political value.

People that have suffered under the reigns of APC are the people u are abusing. Wait and see how the election would be.

It will shock u guys.

U people think it is business as usual.

This is clear now that,Nigerians can be possessive in everything.

See them fighting over something that should benefit everyone.

I thought they say the Niger delta oil belongs to Nigerians,why are they fighting over same oil that belongs to Nigerians. Abi this one different?

Roseodd:
I wan go work oga,5m nah nothing here,the economy no good.
Even if obi enter nothing fit change!
The country is beyond redemption.

Just be lying to yourself.


U think its fantastic over there. Have u heard of homelessness?
There is inflation all over the world and some countries are worse off and yet u guys can't stay in a place.

Cost of living abroad is mad oh.

One yoruba guy in my office said Nigeria is not ripe for these kind of statistics and I said,when shall we be matured to reel out such statistics?


is it not clear to all that we have been governed by educated illiterates in the past?

Almaigaa:
Anambra have the worst Roads in the East. No thanks to Peter Obi. Who looted all Anambra State Government funds, meant for projects. When he was Governor for eight years.

Anything about Obi causes u sleepless night.

Thank God say many of u here no get Voters card. E go soon shock una.

raphemmanuel:
Hello good morning, hope you are good.
Just like you said, at every beginning of a new year many people makes some promises to themselves and set target on what they want to achieve, but you know some factors can disrupt the progress when trying to achieve that. It's not all that easy.
You know life is not bed of roses, there are challenges that can throw someone off-balance and engulf all the saved money. But in all we keep hoping for the best.
The year is coming to an end and another new year is about to start and my prayer is that God will keep us all till the end of this year and help us witness another new year.

For me I have saved up to 1.5million, can you please suggest to me a nice business I can venture into that will help me in the coming year.
Thanks for your suggestions.

If u are working,u will need paper investment such as tbills,commercials papers or mutual funds which are all at high rate returns as of today, but if u don't have a job currently,learn a trade such as sales of plumbing material,or spare parts business around a mechanic porkchops.

FuckTheMod:
Again,
In whatever way you see it, DEBT MAKES YOU A SLAVE!
Avoid it as much as possible.

And the 5 years loan you mentioned is complete bulIshit, YOU ARE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF.

U need an extensive education about money generally.

sukkot:
hey i am just asking all nigerians to apply wisdom. tell me a yoruba or hausa man caught putting up posters of apc in aba would not be killed and castrated and his scrotum used to eat ofe nsala

its naija bro, we all tribal

lets all apply wisdom. dont undertake daredevil missions for any politicians

Igbos aren't violent.
They know the consequences of spilling innocent blood. Same igbo tribe can support any tribe in Nigeria for president.

At least I have lived in three regions of Nigeria north,east and west. But let us be careful how we treat others.

Dapson73:
If you die, you die for Pandora Scam.

Well,this sound too stupid.

Eniitankorede:
Stop talking rubbish. Obi that visited Kano in the cover of darkness and could not come out in the open to be appreciated by anybody. And the campaign funds of a change party has been looted by thieves who are deceiving themselves as change agents. Obi will soon pack up and running away. Mark my words.

Why can't u guys talk without abusing people. Every yoruba man u meet,first thing that comes out from his mouth is an abuse.

Signs of bad parenting.

toneroforever:
Some Yorubas that think they way u do r no different from emilokan himself. Super selfish breed of humans. The only respect the SW gets is just because of folks like Obj, Afenifere,Soyinka,Falana... The rest of u urchins r utterly disgusting. Glad other tribes r seeing beyond ur deception.

Same way they abandoned Abiola...similar thing is playing out with Emilokan.

This is how some people will burn themselves if they mistakenly vote wrongly.

If any of u know the true story of Abiola,u will never see him as a good man.

He single handely destroyed his family.

Teaching job should be a noble profession but here in Nigeria...most teachers are suffering.

My dear,i really don't know what to say but stay strong.

PDP made alot of people rich with some errors but APC made more people and even neighbouring countries that used to benefit from our country so poor. Example Ghana and Niger.


APC scattered Nigeria.

Majesty2:
Osu will never rule this country

Who knows if ur destiny is tied to that Osu.

Be careful what u say.

What goes around comes around.

Winning123:
You are the ignorant here. Executive orders have limitations. You need far reaching legislations to effect meaningful change in Nigeria. You are such a slowpoke

People wey no anything in govt dey call others ignorance.

Shows how badly educated and morally destroyed most of u are.

U cant make a single sentence without calling people names.
Guess bad parenting at play here.

If u marry a good woman or man,u won't come here and be saying all this.

Marriage is the best thing that can happen to people,society and even a community generally.

Parenting
When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father. The effects of that fact are staggering. Father absence causes increases in mental and behavioral disorders as well as criminal activity and substance abuse. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of a strong family.

So,with this, tell ur friend the consequences of having his children and wife not directly involved in their children's lives.

I call it old age consequences.

Marriage is good only if every party in it discovered that,it is not a resting place.

TechW:
Some can be achieved by executive order and those are not difficult to pass by the legislatures, it is subject to a debate anyways and if not good at the end shall be thrown away after all, it's all about what Nigerians want

Do they know what is called executive order.

Leave them my brother.

A good man is a good man.

BeardedMeat:
Reading through the manifesto made me feel like I was already in a civilized society.

Inshallah, Obi will bring the much needed change and succour Nigerians need.

Same with me.

FuckTheMod:
In whatever way you see it, DEBT MAKES YOU A SLAVE!
Avoid it as much as possible.

I have made more money using debt this year alone. And the last one I am yet to pay is what I used as an example here above.

Whatever u say,that is ur reality.
With good debt,I was able to make huge sums of money this year alone and that is my greatest reality and I will keep using other people's money (OPM) as a means of enriching myself.

Thank u for ur advise as I am sure u are not talking to me about debt maximusation.

Not all married men.

Most business men eat out beause of time. But I don't eat out but once a while.

thesicilian:
This wike is a clown with megalomaniac tendencies

But a good man if he supports ur party.

Abeg go rest if u don't know what to say.

dat9jaguy:
How He was actually reminded by Tinubu to release his manifesto. Shebi he was saying he doesn't need manifesto that everything is in his head(werey).
I support neither Tinubu nor Atiku but I know Tinubu is 100%better than Peter Obi.

In agbero and in slowing down the economy.

TheNiceGuy:
They're poisonous. Take heed

I know people who ate these animals just to prevent them stop from weeing on the bed in those days yet they are still alive today.

Go and read about short people who achieved alot and be motivated.

But for food,how can u eat when as a first class student u need to show to everyone the magic wey u take achieve am.

U can do a lot man only if u believe in yourself.

A viral message surfaced on WhatsApp urging Nigerians to put a mixture of salt and garlic in the corners of their rooms to eradicate wall gecko, with the story that a wall gecko fell into a pot of soup prepared by a housewife in Nigeria unknown to her and killed the woman and her nine children after eating the soup.

It reads, “Slippery House Lizard known as Wall Gecko also called Omonle in Yoruba fell into a pot of soup prepared by a housewife in Nigeria unknowingly and it killed the woman and her 9 children after eating.

“Another woman who prepared Tea in a kettle which the gecko fell into, all the family that drank the tea died.

“Please ensure your food, cooked or raw is tightly closed as this animal is highly poisonous, it also goes with “aljanus” (jinns) – verifiable.

Therefore do everything possible to get rid of this dangerous animal from your home.”

The claim particularly notes that “the reptile goes with jinns and it’s highly poisonous and it is verifiable.” Dubawa opted to verify the authenticity of this claim.

Verification
A keyword search revealed that the claim has been in circulation since 2017, as a news item in Nigeria, the Sun Newspaper categorically alerted Nigerians to kill wall geckos because investigation has shown that the reptile is harmful.

The newspaper warned vividly: “Ordinarily, the skin of the gecko is highly poisonous…To eradicate it in your home, just mix salt and garlic and put mixture in different corners of your room. You will never see them again.”

A response on 9 May 2018 from Udonsi Eke on Nature Cures Initiative Facebook post questioned the credibility of the claim “But I remember eating a wall gecko that was roasted just to make me stop bedwetting in my childhood days. So is this information true?”
Are wall geckos truly harmful?
Animal diversity website describes a wall gecko as a tree-living terrestrial species, living in human-populated areas. A reptile that originated from Southeast Asia but is currently found almost everywhere across the globe. It says wall geckos occur on buildings, mostly near artificial lighting because they are nocturnal insectivores.

With the simple description of this uninvolved reptile that feeds mainly on insects, Dubawa felt the urge to get the thought of an expert, Mrs. Emudiare Tailobi, a zoologist from the University of Jos.

“Wall geckos aren’t venomous, that’s a fact,” Mrs. Emudiare said over the phone, adding that although they can carry some harmful bacteria in their mouths that are detrimental to human health, the reptile is naturally harmless.

Mrs. Tialobi explained that “Wall geckos are not toxic, but they may have picked up harmful bacterias that in large amounts can cause harm to humans.”

Dubawa went further to get more insight from a biologist, Mrs. Nanchin Winifred Kazeh from Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI) Jos-east Laminga via WhatsApp, and she affirmed that wall geckos are not poisonous
Is it true that the salt and garlic mixture can eradicate wall geckos?
A conversation with a biologist/ornithologist, Nanchin Winifred Kazeh of A. P. Leventis Ornithological Research Institute (APLORI), Jos-east on WhatsApp revealed that the smell of garlic and salt mixture wards off wall geckos.

Mrs. Kazeh said that wall geckos feed on insects such as lizards, nectars, and spiders. And since light attracts insects, wall geckos are found on buildings with artificial lighting, as it helps them spot their prey easily.

“The wall geckos play a very important role in balancing the ecosystem. Yes, their appearance scares most people, but all the protective measures put up by humans only aid the reptile to adapt well to the environment. Wall geckos are important and useful to humans,” Kazeh added.

While urging Nigerians to dismiss outrageous claims, and instead learn to read properly, know the source, and ask appropriate questions, the ornithologist outlined two fun facts which include:

Conservationist fun facts
1. Did you know that natural or human disturbances have resulted in more eggs being laid by the wall geckos?

Implication; the more we disturb them with our garlic and salt mixtures and try to kill them, the more they multiply

2. Did you know that female wall geckos can store sperm for up to a year? This is a trait that likely aids the species’ transportability and invasion success.

Conclusion
Verification has shown that wall geckos are not poisonous as contained in a viral WhatsApp message; instead, they play an important role in balancing the ecosystem. Even though the garlic and salt mixture can scare wall geckos, it will only increase its production.

The researcher produced this fact-check per the 2021 Kwame Karikari Fact-checking Fellowship partnership with JAY 101.9 FM Jos to facilitate the ethos of truth in journalism and enhance media literacy in the country.

Wall gecko isn't poisonous.

I was just telling my wife about reducing my expenses now...it is very very important I do that otherwise,I might be going it wrongly.

deepwater:
lol

people with N500,000 naira in their account are better than a lot of people abroad.

you see that line above? the rich have used it so many times to supress the poor from making any tangible advancement out of poverty (Nigeria).


500k would pay an average rent per month in the western world.
500k would pay average annual rent in Lagos
so how is a poor person in Lagos better off ?

Until u visit,then u will know what that line meant. For now,enjoy Nigeria.

MufasaLion:
I wanted to engage you in an intellectual conversation but it's shameful many of you couldn't do without bringing religious bullshit in a conversation.

Goodbye!

There is nothing wrong in what he quoted especially from the greatest book on earth.

My wife went to my children's PTA meeting and one mother stood up to accuse the teachers for not teaching the children how to greet in the morning,afternoon and evening.

Parenting is the most difficult task I have ever seen but leaving the moral parts of it for school teacher is the greatest of all neglects.

After all,socialisation starts from the home before extending it out.

If u see the way and manner some people abuse their elders on this thread/forum,u will know there was a disconnect when they were growing up.
