This is Nigeria.

He has learnt a lot of lesson from this single beating than from 1000 protests or court cases.

Watch out! Next time he will behave well.

That's a smart move.

The next thing is to shut down the platform so that clients cannot Withdraw.

Then wait for barrage of lawsuits that will take decades to settle, if at all.

When a bird starts flying without perching, a hunter learns to shoot without aiming.

Woke women and feminists killed marriage.

The outrage is because a woman finally got played. Just two years of marriage, she is fixated on his money and no talk about love.
When was the outrage when a common babysitter cleaned out Tiger Woods for $250 million dollars because he married her.
Let poor people keep bitching and whining. Any wealthy man that gets taken by these money-hungry modern gold-diggers deserves it.

Good. It doesn't end with shouting "up Putin!"

They must test the battlefield. Heck! Feminists and trans must be drafted too to make it even.

Has Sowore sued the FG to reclaim his international passport? Obi cannot be an octopus with multi tentacles. He should concentrate on finishing one thing at a time. All the agents of distractions are popping up. It is time Obi ignored some of these habitual noisemakers. Did Sowore get up to 1000 votes in the 2023 election? There are some rabble-rousers that deserve to be ignored and Sowore fits the profile.

Good!

Before all these madness started, I stated here that it is idiotic to leave a lot of fund in the bank.
A large chunk of money sitting in your account is a waste. It may give a false sense of security but scenarios
like we are witnessing in Nigeria has never happened in the country before. As such some dufus with no
financial sense came out slinging. Do people understand how banking was started and the goals?
Governments across the world have managed to find ways to raid their citizens' accounts with no
repercussions.

People can only learn the hard way. It is best to learn from the mistakes, trials and tribulations of others.

In other words, Nigerian men are suckers who pay money for what many others get for free.

After calling pensioners "deadwood" when he was the governor, he finally joined his ancestors.

Manage your Nigerian business well without being an errand boy to politicians and there will be no worries.

Once a godfather in politics leaves office, it becomes an open season for assault from the opponents.

Abiola, Raymond Dokpesi should be reference points.

Why waste time and effort on a man who is very close to the grave? 37 years after Nobel prize in "English Literature" and nothing more after that is not a sign of improvement in any given field not the least the most obscure and useless course of study in any tertiary institution.

US and Western powers have more information on Nigeria than any of the quasi -Intelligence agencies in Nigeria. Sometimes they are the ones giving Intel to the knuckleheads in Security agencies. Who could forget how FFK and co-traitors were signing like birds to the former US ambassador to Nigeria in a leaked chat in those years? To those who abused Chimamanda Adichie, I maintain that nothing she wrote in that letter is unknown to the US government. The reason you get harassed in many airports with your green passport around the world has nothing to do with her letter. It is based on the perception of what you represent being a Nigerian.

What these morons fail to realize is that "Obidient" is a movement and not a club. It is all comers affairs and a representation of the Nigerian masses. It is very idiotic to expect Nigerians to be civil in traffic. It is even more idiotic to expect Nigerians to queue up orderly in any event. There are certain attributes that are common especially among the lowly class Nigeria even though the well-offs are not exempt. Before the 2023 election, social media is known to be full of toxic exchanges among Nigerians on issues bordering on education, politics, religion, ethnicity, sports, etc. Now for some people who claim to be enlightened and educated like Wole Soyinka (who I think is a glorified idiot by the way and if you think I am wrong, may your relation be admitted to study English Literature in a university) and his ilks to arbitrarily equate the toxicity and incivility of an average Nigerian to the Obedient movement is the height of idiocy. Go back to at least 10 years postings here on Nairaland and show us when civility is the norm of the day among Nigerians.

tomi4life:
I am 35 and my wife is 29, we have been married for 6 years now, we have 2 children a boy and a girl. We didnt court much during our courtship because of long distance.

I really have a problem with my wife and not sure what can be done to address, now I must be very honest am not sure there is anything I can do I just want to use the platform to vent my frustration.

My marriage has not been very good, lately myself and my wife leave like room mates and not lovers, despite the age difference between me and my wife she doesnt really respect me. For the 6 years we have been in marriage 3 things have caused all our fights: cooking, Sex and finance

My wife rarely cooks in the house, things around welfare are not taken seriously, actually in a week, my wife can cook for me just 1 time. She cooks for the children and baths for them daily, we also have a help who does alot of cooking. She rarely askes me what I will eat, honestly I always have to go to the kitchen to sort myself, sometimes I buy food outside from eateries and bucker. Sometimes when she cooks it usually very late 10pm. I have complained severally and what happen is she tries to change, after a week, we are back to the same state. My wife can do without cooking for me for weeks. It really really pains me cos am a foody and I knw hw my mum treats matters of food. she is this person that forms busy, either she is busy with work or some church activities, she always has an excuse. She goes to work only ones a weeks the remaining 4days are remote. To address this issue I now order soups from major restaurant outlets, An example is today easter sunday, I had to tell our maid to prepare rice for myself and the kids, cos my wife was in church, we all went to church but she decided to stay back, knowing fully well no food was prepared.

Sex: [/b]our sex life is very boring, when we got married we always fight about sex, cos anytime I ask for it she always complain she is tired, so what I now do is ask for it only sat morning, brethen this is only day I get sex. If I miss that day, it is still next week. We sleep in different rooms, she sleeps with the children in the master bedroom while I sleep alone in another room. I can tell most time she doesnt enjoy it and never ever askes for it, I always ask and initiate it. She just lays like a log, even kisses is a no no, except she is really on, which rarely happens.
[b]
Finance: I have always earned more than my wife, when we got married, I was earning 3 times what she was earning, but she changed jobs and got promoted severally and we were earning the same amount. she also does alot of side runs where she gets 200-300k monthly as side hustle, there was even a time she was earning more than I did. I dint let it bother me I continue to foot the entire house bills. 95% of the enitre house of comes from me, she only pays the maid , buys cooking gas and my sons diaper. Every other thing in the house is covered by me, house rent, school fees, project, all the bills. I give her 75k as food money monthly. I have continue to question her why I should give her food moeny if I still have to end up going out to eat. I think the only reason she sometime listens to me is cause i still provide the finances for the house. The time she was earning more I could see how she belittle some of my decisions. I just prayed to God, cos I noticed the respect was gone, when I talk to her about her role as a mum and mother to the home, she says she is working, she is busy, I mentioned to her that the money she works is for her, she doesnt share with the house, I have never asked her for it and am not against her working, she however should not neglect her responsibility as a mum. That my role as a father, God helping me is to provide, and this is why I work. I also noticed when I got a new job and my salary increased she kinda off felt jealous she didnt tell me but i noticed it, she began to aggressively look for jobs.


I really dont think we have that initmacy, we are just there, my wife cant come to tell me anything bothering her, she keeps to herself. Funny part is she is a very religious person, my wife will sleep with bible on her hand, wake up with bible pray and serve in various church unit, I however dont think she really understands what she reads. She also has a very bad temper sometimes when I raise certian issues, the ways she talks sometimes I have to hold back a response if not the whole thing will escalate. There are days I will raise certain issue up, the next things she mentions is " let just dissolve this marriage as it is not working" sometimes , I just refer her to her bible cos the utterances that come out of her mouth makes me doubt her understanding of Christianity.


I have never assaulted her, we have nt had any physically fight, what happens is most times when we have issues, I dont speak to her for days, then she come back apologizing. Sometimes when am wrong I also apologies.

Am not saying am perfect, I know there are areas I can do better, like in the buying off gift, I rarely buy her gift, not cause I cant but Cos she earns well and I believe she should buy whatever she needs with her money my wife earns approximately 800k monthy.


I expect my wife will support me but it like she is stressing me. when we go see my parent or our parent, it is all smiles, they dont knw hw stressful their daughter is, she even forms trying to serve me food and all.

Dont get me wrong she has some good side, but this thing is really getting into me. I dont drink, smoke or womanise, divorce is also not on the table for me.

For better or worse. Go and carry your cross and stop bitching. She is your choice.

All these idiots parading as intellectuals instead of pseudo-intellectuals forget that there is nothing about Nigeria that US/Canada do not already know. They don't really need Chimamanda to buttress that Nigeria is a fantastically corrupt country.

The senator representing Enugu East senatorial district on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chimaroke Nnamani has blamed his political associates including Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Governor-Elect, Peter Mbah for his defeat in the Enugu East senatorial election, IGBERETV reports.

Nnamani lost election to Kelvin Chukwu of the Labour Party, LP, for the Enugu East senatorial district seat.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, the former Enugu State governor went on to characterize his estranged “Ebeano political associates” as brainless.

He described the duo of Peter Mbah and Edward Ubosi (speaker of the State House of Assembly) as clueless and illiterate.

Nnamani alleged that they all connived to rig him out during the March 18 rescheduled Enugu East senatorial election.

He lamented that one Uche Ejim, who Nnamani claimed he was paying rent for, helped feed his family and nominated for Local Government chairmanship, limited his total votes to 7000, while giving Labour over 4000 votes.

His tweets read;

Hmm. A man that couldn't hold a job at Loma Linda University and was imported home by unscrupulous politicians to become a governor of his state is calling people brainless.

Interesting!

Bigcoconut:
Hello, guys
I don't want to bore you guys with long epistle. Yes, as the title suggests.

I travelled to Canada through the study route this January but I can tell you for a fact that I'm already bored with this place.

I'm redoing a 2 year program that I have already concluded in Naija but just because I want japa, I redid it. But that's not the issue.

The issue is that I'm working in a company but the department I was posted to was a physical demanding one..

To the extent that if I work for a day, I feel pain all over my body for a week. And this is seriously affecting my education because anytime i go to work, i wouldn't have the energy to do anything again as i would be so weak. but i have to work because i have bills to pay.

Nobody send you for here except you want sleep for cold outside.

Even half of my salary goes in the form of settling bills.

The work makes me depressed. This is not what I bargained for. .

For me to raise money for my tuition fees and travel expenses, at least I wasn't doing bad in Nigeria before i left. In addition, I hardly have time for myself.

My situation is even better, most of people who we came same time haven't found jobs yet.

My thinking is if I should ask for refund of my remaining tuition fee and relocate back Naija, or go back Naija and take some courses online, as there seems to be an option for that.

Hustling abroad will be very difficult if you are already living comfortably in Nigeria. You bought into the hype. You must give yourself at least two years before things start making sense to you. Apart from nice buildings and clean environment, you will work like a horse more than in Nigeria to survive.

Soyinka is carrying this Nobel prize like his life depends on it. One would think that Nobel prize is the greatest honour and award a man could get. What else has he achieved in his 90 years life?

Read the content of the letter and the date again.

If not that it is meaningless, I would have suggested that Datti takes the challenge. After all the essence of Soyinka's living is to speak Queen English in a way to impress bunch of gullible fellas who equate mastery of foreign language as high I.Q.

Only in Nigeria would a cultist be parading his oyibo-given Nobel prize as an end and people are actually giving him undeserved audience.

Old Imo State (Abia/Imo) did bastardize kingship with the autonomous community project. Every "friend" of the State government gets to be a king in a carved out Autonomous community leaving the whole town in disarray.

Many people do not believe that Peter Obi has N10m to donate because they are used to people with tokunbo SUVs and Hilux making noise all over the place with a total net worth of less than N100m. Humility and contentment are vices in Nigeria.

TheGreatIYANU:
Good day all,

I currently stay on the mainland but have cause to work on the island for the next 3 months. Due to several factors such as Lagos traffic, budget (I don't have budget for a car) and I've always wanted to own one, I've decided to get a Powerbike to facilitate my movement and fulfil my bike dream.

Budget - ₦800,000 (bike & paraphernalia)

Ps, I have don't know how to drive a Powerbike, but I drive Cars, Trucks and Bicycles.

If you know/have a good Powerbike within my budget for sale, kindly holla. I'd appreciate if you simply post your bike here, pics and specs so the elders can ascertain I'm getting good product.

Have you ever driven around in a car? One is barely safe in a car and you want to ride a bike in Nigeria where drivers change lanes without signals? That's an accident waiting to happen. I see those delivery bike riders in Lagos and immediately think "anytime now"

AngelicBeing:
You are correct, let me reserve the experience l had with a Nigerian shipper and his wife on how they treated me and when l went to confront them openly and expressed my dissatisfaction,it ended up in the reverse, it is a long story, the summary is keep some Nigerians at arms length for your peace of mind or completely avoid some Nigerians

Nigerians are not generally bad. The blame is on the ones that keep their expectations high when dealing with them. I keep my expectations the lowest it can get thus leaving little room for disappointment and regrets. As always, trust but verify.

This Nigeria go belleful all of us one way or the other.

You must match your audience for effective communication. Soyinka needs a course on communication. His message is lost on the attempt to showcase his mastery of "English" language.

1. Biden will not see it.

2. If it mistakenly gets through, a junior aide in the White House will read it and think, "Who the f...k is Ona..whatever?"

Yeah. That's the attitude.

Anyone noticed that with just a little threat from UK, FFK went mute.

US economy is currently shaky. As expected, many mysterious deaths among financial gurus will surface. Sure they are the CEOs and founders of operations, but are they truly the owners? Mysterious falls from tall buildings, drowning in bath tubs, stabbings and disappearance will continue happen. Seed money is a loan XYZ Capital may be the ones advancing the loan, but do you know who else XYZ Capital is in business partnership with? People with temperament of Sammy Gravano or Tony Spilotro?

Nothing magical

Every tool used by magicians are purchased at shops for products designed specifically for magicians. Sure it looks and feels like a writing board, but there is a possible remote access from whence the magician can see what's written. It is a case of the more you look the less you see.

AirPeace couldn't land in PH after multiple attempts and had to fly the passengers back to Lagos. Almost a month and the passengers are yet to get their full refunds. Go figure!

Buying or selling and earning money are only integral part of trading.

Getting your money out "long-term" due to antics of brokers is the major headache. In secured business environments like developed nations, you may get your funds back after many years of investigations and settlements. Do you have the patience? Just like MMM, they have had their fair share of Nigerian funds and bailed. Who will pursue them? Nigerian government? If you believe it, then you might as well believe that your MMM funds are on the way back to your accounts.

If Paxful issues any statements stating that customers' funds are intact, that will be a confirmation that the money is gone forever.
