Military officers turned themselves to lily-livered political stooges. That's why politicians play with their balls. Nigerian military used to be respected well before but not anymore. There was a time it was believed that military personnel at a checkpoint did not take bribes. They punished those who tried. Nowadays they have reduced themselves to the level of Nigerian Police force.

When Sultan and Abdulsalam chose to become errand boys for an illegitimate President, small boys go insult them na. What did they expect? Other countries are not Nigeria where nonsense is tolerated easily.

At this point I can't really blame the criminals. I blame the judges that give them light sentences. Start knacking them at least 10 years prison term and this nonsense go reduce drastically.

VinnyBaba:
They criticize Davido, Whizkid, Tuface Idibia,etc and
Call them Irresponsible Men for Having Babymamas.😕😒

They have so Descended on YUL Edochie for Having a second wife.

But suddenly, you see them Hailing and Supporting Regina Daniel, Annie Macaulay and Chioma against FIRST and 2nd Women they met.

*ARE OUR NIGERIAN LADIES AGAINST POLYGAMY OR NOT?
*WHAT'S THEIR STAND, REALLY?😏☹️



Thanks!.

It is a bandwagon effect.

One person hates, the rest joins the chorus.

It then turns into an echo chamber.

The man is funny.

Senior military officers don't bear arms.
During coup d' etat, it is one of the orderlies (probably a Sergeant) that will order oga to kneel down and cooperate or be sent to join his ancestors.

Just like they say, "oga life dey for gateman hand"

This is good news.

Abia State has been through a lot. May God deliver Abia residents through this man.

The Pope is right. They are practicing their religion the way they deem fit. How dare you blacks try to dictate or even criticize them for doing their own thing? They didn't force you to abandon your own religion. The Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Whites, etc have their respective religion, doctrines and beliefs. It is only we as blacks that are running helter skelter cursing our ancestors that did nothing wrong to us. Do you now see why we are the scum of the earth?

There is nothing wrong in military intervention in Niger...as long as Seyi Tinubu is leading at the war front.

The irony of life in Nigeria. Most people probably have never heard of this man claiming $154million debts. But in the same Nigeria, there are folks littered all over social media making noise all over the place with total assets less than $1million in equivalence.

Real wealth is quiet. Driving through Banana Island, one wonders who are the faceless fellas that own those properties while the ones that own N80million houses in Lekki are blowing trumpets.

DECENTBWOY:
Good morning nairalanders, I know its too early to post this but this issue has been troubling me for a while now.
I can't sleep, even if i eventually do, i can't stay asleep, for example if i sleep by 2am, i will wake up by 4am and thats it for that night.
It has been going on for months now, and i hardly sleep in the afternoon too..
If you observe when i made this post, I slept around 3am because today is my birthday, i was answering calls and chats from well wishers, now i am up again around 5, thats why i made this post, i am fed up...

Please can you guys suggest a very strong sleeping tablet for me? I really need to sleep and stay asleep, i mean lock everywhere up, eat, take the tablet and sleep a very deep sleep, a kind of sleep that i will not know what is happening around...

Please help a brother, i don even begin de slim like who them de squeeze blood commut for body....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUMBLE SELF BTW...

/
Do some serious exercise. You will sleep like a baby after.

Wainey:
Niger does not have what it takes to stand ECOWAS.
Also I don't want this war on Niger, they are trying to find a govt that will suit them, but I seriously don't want them to think a military dictator is better than a democratic govt.

I think they have to look for a voice in Democracy than settling for military rule

/
In a war, you will be fighting visible and invisible enemies.
Putin was told that he could run over Ukraine in less than a month. And here they are. Niger has uranium used in nuclear weapons. So expectedly US, Russia, China and other nuclear powers will be interested and can flip their support to whoever protects their interests. Those developed nations do not fight for democracy--they couldn't care less.

AutoHubNG:
If you’re thinking of buying a car in Nigeria, whether foreign or Nigerian used; you need to be careful not to make any of the mistakes listed in this article.


1. Buying in a haste
Buying a car is totally different from buying toy cars at a shopping mall’s toy section where kids spot the toy of their choice, point a finger and it’s theirs in a minute or under. And as we all know; the kid might even end up damaging the toy before the next day.

Now, we are talking about buying a real car with your hard-earned money. So don’t rush, take your time, compare prices and do all the necessary checks before making the purchase.

2. Thinking the cheapest car is the always the best deal
Awoof has purged many car buyers on several occasions. I always tell people “the cheapest car is not necessarily the best deal”. It is a bad idea to save ₦500,000 only to buy a car that has just been rebuilt from a terrible accident with deployed airbags and damaged suspensions not properly repaired. The sad news is some people buy these cars only to end up spending a lot more on further or recurring repairs. Worst still, they could end up being involved in ghastly motor accidents. Some others end up in jail for buying ridiculously cheap cars which happened to be stolen vehicles.

We all know there’s always a strong urge to maximise profit(s) by any means necessary, but we should more often than not, try our possible best to resist said urge as it will serve us well in the long run. As the adage goes – “Penny wise, Pound foolish.”

3. Falling in love with the clean exterior of the car alone
Many of us are guilty of this. We buy a car because it has a clean exterior and beautiful aesthetics (maybe from a slick paint job and or customised bumpers/grills/wheels/side sills/spoilers etc.). I fell victim to this when I bought my first car and it started dealing with me severely after 6 months. A friend of mine bought a Toyota SUV in Lagos but by the time he got to Uyo with the car, he realised he had bought a vehicle with a faulty engine and said engine of the SUV broke down completely within the first 3 months. To add salt to injury, Nigerian Customs seized the SUV immediately after he eventually changed the engine. Wahala Wahala Wahala...

4. Showing desperation to the seller
If you show that you are desperately in love or in need of a car to a seller, then you may have just signed a “one chance” certificate. The next thing they will tell you is, someone else is coming to pay for the car this evening. So, you won’t have a choice but to pay hurriedly. You may end up paying more for the car and you may not have sufficient time to carry out a thorough inspection of the vehicle.

5. Not doing proper checks
Proper checks include test driving, VIN check, diagnostic scan, verifying customs and vehicle papers, etc. Endeavour you thoroughly inspect any- and every- aspect of the vehicle to save yourself from future headaches. “A stich in time, saves nine” as they say.

6. Wanting only the most recent version
Most buyers, more often than not - want the more recent version of a particular model/brand.

Take for example the ubiquitous Toyota Corolla 2005/2006 model (irrefutable as at the time of citing this example), the last version of that model - 2008, has the same design and most of the features from the earliest version – 2003, but the preference is much higher for the former despite costing more. So, if you are particular about saving cost, you may be better off with the 2003 model instead of buying a refurbished 2008 model.

The difference in both cars may not be commensurate to the difference in pricing and this also applies to many other brands and models alike.

7. Buying a particular car because someone else is driving it
Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses. I have seen people make the mistake of buying cars because they’ve seen a few people driving it or their neighbour has one. So, they just conclude that for that person to be able to maintain it, they too can also maintain it. On the contrary, you don’t know if that person you are admiring is suffering (going through Premium Shegé – Pro Max) and smiling with that car. You also don’t know his/her financial capacity and source(s) of income. So please always take your car research beyond the fact that someone else is able to maintain a car because you might not know exactly what he/she is actually going through as stated.

8. I want my car to be one in town
There is nothing as satisfying as driving a one in town car with your car being so unique that it turns heads wherever you go. However, don’t forget our common saying - “one in town car, one in town problem”. Therefore, you should tread with caution.

You need to research a reliable site/car repair centre and availability of parts. You also need a sure contact that can help you get the parts abroad when needed, as well as a Bureau De Change guy that will be giving you good dollar exchange rate. Albeit there is a way to play safe with using a unique car; what some people do is, they buy a regular car like a Toyota Camry or a Benz E-Class then they modify (love-vendor) it by changing some components such as the lights, bumpers, grills etc. However, you have to do this with care so as to not overdo it and eventually mess the car up, making it look somewhat ugly.

9. Using all your last kobo to buy a car
This problem speaks for itself. Always remember, the car will need some care after purchase especially if it is Nigerian used as you’re most likely going to be using up money for whatever procedure that may arise. I am sure you’ve seen people who buy a car and start to ask around for money to do basic things after only a couple of weeks. Some buyers may even start depending on other people for food to eat and declare bankruptcy after they get the first repair bill from their mechanic.

Do tell us. Have you experienced any of the aforementioned in the past, or present?

https://autohub.ng/blog/%ef%bb%bf9-mistakes-car-buyers-in-nigeria-usually-make/

/
Many car owners in Nigeria realize their mistakes a tad too late when their cars break down and they take it to a mechanic. It is either the replacement parts are not readily available, too expensive or no knowledgeable mechanic to fix it. The good ones tow the car back home while the reckless ones abandon it at the workshop for months/years.

tensazangetsu20:
I was about to start work today and I heard a fight and some arguments, turned out it was my neighbor and his wife going at it for the umpteenth time again but today's own was so bloody. I even thought of calling the police. He beat the woman. Hit her head on the wall, threw her clothes out and even threw their baby out that he was tired of them.

The guy has no job, didn't go to school. Didn't even finish secondary school. Also has no skills. He just sits at home from morning till night. He lives with his mom and shes the one that feeds him and all and the new wife just moved in after she got pregnant and gave birth. Honestly, this isn't the first time I have experience or seen stuff like this around me. Is it that the women are blind or what? I mean my neighbor is quite an attractive man. He's fair with tattoos and dreadlocks. Has that handsome bad boy kind of look. But is looks just enough to marry a man that has nothing going on at all in his life.

Why do women make such bad decisions. I am really really curious.

/
Some young ladies (also young men) still fail to realize that handsome or cute ends at 25 tops. Beyond 25, a supposedly handsome man who doesn't provide values financially is a thrash. Procreate with him and you get yourself a deadbeat, low-life loser. A Ned Nwoko will steal and marry the beautiful girlfriend while the man is busy doing pink lips and forming Mr. Handsome.

/

/
You must admit that it is sad but funny that someone thanks God for leaving Nigeria. It is like a prison escape.

The main question is: What interest does France have in combating terrorism in a country she shares no boundaries with? Are they fighting terrorism or they have military establishments in Niger to support any puppet they instal?

YouAreNobody:
My car's day-time running lights stopped working 3 days ago so I went to an electrician to get it fixed and then walked to a nearby shop to eat. When I came back I noticed the guy had bought wires and was connecting from one end to another. I had to ask him to remove every single thing he had done while he was busy protesting blablabla.


This morning, I went to another electrician yesterday and the guy changed the bulbs without any hassles.

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is a bad rewire

Lucky you.

Don't ever leave your car with them.

MotorConnectz:
The infamous and durable Prado has finally gotten a total redesign by Toyota. This comes after decades of having practically almost the same shape which people take advantage of by revamping and face-liftimg to get the recent looks.

The All New 2024 Toyota Prado comes in different trims like LC 300 , LC 1958 and the LC first Edition which will be limited to only 5000 units.

What do u think of the new design?

/

This is one thing I dislike about cars. Once they redesign the body, the previous ones become less desirable.

Anyone who sees the car s/he used to trip about 5 years ago today can only just shake his head in disbelief.

infocentre:
I drive C-Class Benz and I can attest; it’s a strong machine and I hardly buy parts. However, it is known for more electrical faults than mechanical. I patronize car electricians (rewire) more and occasionally check mecho.

On the same vein, I've heard of some car brands like Toyota/Honda having less electrical but more mechanical faults of major components such as engine or gear. So, which do you think is worse and more financial drain per your experience?

/
Most of the problems stem from electricians who don't have the requisite tools for diagnosis. They resort to bypass connections to fix problems and end up messing the whole car up.

Every year the same ol' stories.

Nigerians are addicted to suffering. Why not leave them to continue to suffer in peace?

/

/
Nigerians are too emotional and are easily swayed by promises no matter how ridiculous the promises may sound. That's why Buhari and Lai Mohammed used their brains to play ludo for 8 years. As if the pain from that dashed HOPE wasn't enough, they signed up for another RENEWED HOPE which was founded on the continuation of Buhari's principles. So why would anyone be empathetic to the plight of Nigerians.

They said that APC is an acronym for All Promises Cancelled. Here we go again with APC rolling out more promises...and the morons are still cheering.

I guess Tokunbo cars don't exist. We cannot deny their existence because your neighbour just bought one.

Above 35, a lady has a high probability of having a child with birth defects. Why would anyone do this to herself?

Wanna have children? Do it at your prime--best before 30. Facts don't care about feelings.

Met this girl online last year January, after exchanging numbers we started vibing and the whole talking stage thing. Started dating a month later . Things were so good thought I have found myself a lovely soul. She was good but much more concerned about aesthetics, snap for the glam , do some weird things for Twitter likes. Her role models are always relationship people . Gave her some advice to go back to school because she was a drop out she didn’t heed.

Okay gave her money to start some business she spent on uselsss things . She just want all that lovely dovy Instagram lifestyle and relationship glamour . Couldn’t deal broke up with her . Ever since then it’s been one hell of a ride . Everyday subbing my ass on Twitter . I don’t block people never blocked any of my exes .

She’d upload guys pictures and all.I really don’t care now I noticed her freinds writing some shit and even have the guts to tag me . Like is it even up to that Like why can’t some people just deal with break up . You teaming up to sub your ex is the new cool now.?


I have been blocking some of her friends but they still keep opening burner accounts and tagging me . I run a business with my account anybody with a good suggestion??

Only factory-fitted morons will believe that the worst democracy is better than the best military rule. Who came up with the slogan? The looters! Africans couldn't care less about the system of government as long as their basic needs are met. Democracy has failed West Africa because when garnished with our penchant to abuse noble causes, selection became election.

So far, Babangida and Abacha regimes were better than all the tenures we have had since 1999.

Just like in Ukraine, NATO and European powers have new developed military equipment that need to be tested in the battlefield.
Sadly, the Ukrainians are bearing the brunt. But as providence will have it for them, the usual Guinea pigs (Africans) have volunteered themselves again as lab rats for the tests.

I can bet that they are already loading up military equipment in jubilation heading to Niger. War is the most profitable business in the world so far.

Aladeintl:
There was this popular MoG from Ibadan who do early morning prayer on Ajilete FM that I adamantly forbid my wife from listening to.

I told her, 'I am not saying you shouldn't listen to him but not under my own roof.'

I didn't banned her because the man was fake. I didn't think the MoG is fake, but I find some of his modus operandi unbiblical.

Likewise, some songs like Daddy wey dey pamper is not fit my own family. While I am around, she mustn't.

I will soon delete that song from her phone sef.

Read tales of a Nursing Dad here www.joelalade.home.blog

I once collected her purse and gave her only transport fare when she was going for a crusade organized by one prophet olororo.

What is my drift? I have no qualm with Pastor Jerry Eze and his YouTube early morning prayer ministry but it is a disgrace and dishonour to you, the man of the house, if your woman can wake up to listen to other man before you.

It's a disgrace to my fatherhood if my kids are doing morning devotion via internet led by another man and wife and kids aren't to be blamed.

Therefore, we men, should truly man up and be the leader God made us.

The likes of Pastor Jerry Eze and co come into equation because many men are not spiritual leader. He is filling the gaps created by spiritually-absent fathers.

Your wife jumping from one prayer mountain to another is because you haven't ascertain your spiritual headship in the head.

And for those joining Pastor Jerry from their boyfriend's room, just dey play ooo, dey play ooo.

May God helps us to discharge our duties accordingly.

Ire oooooooo

/
I think Pastor Jerry Eze is mocking God. Like everything about Nigeria, time will make him fade away. How can any sane being listen to such ramblings in an hour and still stay sane?

To progress in life, stay away from whatever many Nigerians flock towards. As the poverty capital of the world, following Nigerians' interests is like being a supporter of the lowest ranked team in EPL.

/
Damned if you, damned if you don't.

No security presence, they say people are scared of coming out because of the terrorist gunmen. Security presence? They say people are scared of coming out because of the security agents.

How can anyone appease Nigerians?

I still believe that the best option would have been covert operations into the bush to neutralize those marauders.
