We no longer take you serious here,you are the only governor in the south east that is castigating Peter Obi.

Soludo is only testing the water to see if he has any political influence in Igbo land. They served him the rejection cold and salty.

I hope they provided fuel to those who will attend the rally.

That's why nobody should bother when Nigerians wail.

They love their sufferings served hot and spicy.

This is Venezuela. The country with the highest oil deposit. Until Nigeria gets to this level (not too far in the distant future), Nigerians will continue to mess with their destiny. They think everything is a joke.

That's for those who think bad political leadership is the problem. The mind of most Nigerians are devilish. Those nonchalant medical personnel are products of the society. Everyone contributes in no small measures to the mess called Nigeria.

Hope say dem don put speed limiter for those their buses sha

Why speed limiters?

They slow down on good roads and speed up on bad roads. How will speed limiter help?

The explanation is very stupid.

BVAS data is available and printable.

They can count the votes and reconcile it with BVAS data under the monitor of party representatives.

When everything has been crosschecked and deemed correct, then the winner will be announced.

All these can be done in one Excel spreadsheet within 24 hours.

Why rush to announce winner without reconciling the data?

Hello House,

Please, I need advise on how to console and encourage a friend of mine here in naija that heard the news of the death of her newly wedded husband who returned to the US after the wedding ceremony.

The husband lived in the US for so many years, he had a good woman/wife with two children. I don’t know if they were legally married or he settled with the lady and had kids with her for papers during his early years in the US.

Now, after years of being divorced or separated from the lady, I think a calabar US based woman according to him, he then met my friend at an occasion while he came to naija. He pick interest in her and proposed marriage, after like one or two years of communication over the phone. They got wedded seven months ago, and he flew back to the states. Communication continued via phone, until there was a break in communication, my friend here in naija tried to reach him but to no avail, until she called one of his US friend who went and confirmed that her husband was about entering his car packed on a hilly road, he forgot the handbrake wasn’t activated, and the car rolled with him to a tree…he had some fractures and rushed to the hospital. At a point, he was recuperating, although couldn’t speak to my friend on phone.Due to his extreme condition, I think the first wife came but shut every communication. So literally my friend was left in the dark until she heard that he had passed away.

His burial will be in the states, and his family here told my friend that they will come for discussion after the burial, probably for his properties which was gotten in both his name and wife’s name(my friend). Before his demise, he had told her how terrible most of his clans are, and how she should try to avoid them and keep things secret from them

How do I encourage her at this time and also the impending battle with her late husband’s family

/

Let me assume that this fictitious friend is YOU!

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

The only way you can win is if neither the family in US nor his family members in Nigeria know about or the location of the house. You are not fully invested in the family to be fighting for his property.

/

He didn't stoke any controversy.

For the past 8 years, Nigeria has been in a total mess.
High inflation, high unemployment, fuel scarcity, minimal power generation, decaying infrastructures, insecurity, just to mention a few. He chose to be mute. Election is around the corner and he has finally found his voice because he is a contestant. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. People are supporting him for amount of money that won't last more than a month. Let them continue. The losers are the ones who seem bothered. Nigerians deserve the suffering.

My fiancee told my younger brother that she will send him out of my house if we get married. She was joking, but it didn't sound like a joke to me.

Let me tell you how this started. My younger brother told my fiancee jokingly, that he will be sending her on errand anyhow, when she marries me. Although he went too far for saying he will be sending her on errand anyhow. But he has every right to send her on errand because he senior her. She then replied that if my brother do anyhow, when we get married she will ask me to send him away from my house. At this point I stop seeing the whole discussion as joke. I asked her to repeat what she said, she repeated it again (take note: she was saying everything jokingly)

I told her right away that if my brother comes visiting when we get married, she will not send him away. She said she will use her woman power to make me send him away.

She went further to ask me, that if they ask me now to choose between her and my brother who would I choose. I told her I would choose my brother (she could see the seriousness in me).

And I really meant it, any girl that will separate me and my brother will have to use jazz .

This my younger brother established the business that I am doing today. Has done countless number of things for me.

We don't joke with each other, and she knows that.

So am really scared, could this be a joke ? even though it a joke. How can a woman joke that she will separate two brothers ?

Nairalanders, please help a brother with your advice. is this a red flag ?

/

Nothing to worry.

Your wife and your brother's wife will probably separate both of you. By the way, your brother should know not to visit and stay more than two days after you get married. Is he jobless?

APC playing opposition politics to APC.

And obligate morons are cheering.

During EndSARS protest, Tinubu was the closest thing to the devil. He even went underground for the fear of being attacked by disgruntled Lagosians. Today his money has sanctified him and naysayers are even campaigning for him too

Only in Nigeria!

Good day guys I withdraw this money today the old and new naira note is till coming out only
please what's the problem of this country

The FBI is an effective crime-fighting organization because they know how to cut off the head to kill the body. Fighting crime in Nigeria is the easiest in the world except that EFCC is not active or competent. Arrest and prosecute the top guys and everyone falls in line.
Let EFCC arrest one top bank manager over mismanagement of the new notes and publicize the arrest, the new bank notes will magically appear in all the banks and ATMs overnight.

EriMma1:
This may sound weird but it's my situation now.

I have been a single and independent lady for a very long time. Though I really looked forward to settling down in my 20s and thirties but because I was the over careful type, I couldn't as I kept being picky due to men's character and behavior.

Fast-forward to my lat 30s, I began to lose interest and started getting more comfortable as a single. The upheavals in today's marriage also got to me. As in the way marriages are packing up, the cheating aspect, abuse and domestic violence in marriages all further affected me and changed my whole perception of the union called marriage. So I unconsciously resolved to remain single as long as I'm happy, comfortable and financially independent.

Some of the reasons I also made up my mind are.
As a single, Im very much at peace, with no one dictating what and when I should do things or get out of bed. I love my bed.
No one is body shaming me when I add on some pounds due to excessive eating and no one is questioning my eating habits as its sometimes the case with some married women. Also running errands when you don't feel up to it just because hubby wants you to do it. Some men can send their wife on errand like crazy and me I hate running errands.

No one is disturbing me when I need time alone which could last for hours. I love my space and privacy. So the thought of having to give up all that scares the hell out of me.

Now, back to the matter.

Recently, some close spiritual leaders in my denomination have been trying to match make me with a single pastor and that one too is shining teeth that he has seen a jimjim sister. When they now openly mentioned it yesterday with the said man around and he too was nodding and agreeing to the proposal, it dawned on me that these people are not joking. When I got home, i sank into my comfy space and began to fret. I mean... The thought of giving up all that freedom is just so scary. I suddenly discovered that marriage no longer excites me and my inner self was fighting it.
Also, the thought of carrying pregnancy for nine months with all the stress of looking after babies, tending toddlers ( poo poo) and that motherhood life made me sick instantly. The thought of joggling my job with family life gave me the chills. I see how my married mates struggle with this. Huh. Men...

I don't know. I don't feel cool about this cos it makes me feel like I'm about to be put in a cage and everything about me is going to change.

Now, before you talk about me not loving the man, I think I fancy him and can love him cos he looks so much like my ex of years ago. So that is out of the question. He is a happening lovable man but....... I no longer feel excited about marriage. at least, from what played out yesterday.

Do I need any form of therapy cos my family won't hear of it but this is my situation now ooo... Hmmm

/
Late 30s? You are partially a man in mindset because you are already set in your own ways. Everyone must not get married. To marry a pastor will make a dicey situation worse unless you are open to tolerate the high level of hypocrisy you will witness living with him.

Just buy one or two cats for companionship and give the middle finger to marriage.

/

/
The real victims are the morons that keep supporting his randy lifestyle financially under the guise of giving to God. A sucker is born every minute. He sure is putting their tithes to good use.

Humans are created in the image of God. So one can argue that giving indirectly to Halima, Stephanie and a host of others is giving to God in this case god of Suleiman that happens to exist between female thighs.

/

/
Nigerians are not intellectually matured to accord them the level of freedom they want.

They will run amok like animals in the bush.

A sane society needs law and order otherwise the moral decadence that US is fighting today will creep into Nigeria unabated.

Many of these kids cannot differentiate between movie costumes and everyday dresses.

How can university students show up in class wearing party dresses?

KanwuliaExtra:
. . . .And you do not think marriage is a 'business' venture?
Please, get married first, stay married for at least 10 years. . . then come back and ask Ireti and Patrick Doyle why they divorced after 20 years.

Please. . . stick to the topic and stop derailing the thread with your local and archaic sentiments.

Look at who is posting about women and life's frustrations. Even with all the 'machismo' una dey form, una still dey quench upandan. . . . cannot even handle common women frutrations. Only to dey count how many 'drops' of wotowoto 'akamu' una fit release to dey knack chest.

Abeg for help us find solutions to keep you dudes from dying prematuredly and stop typing rubbish from thread to thread. Women cannot be the cause of the statistically low mortality rate of menfolk globally. THE REASON WOMEN WILL KEEP OUTLIVING MEN? . . . .THEY HAVE DEVELOPED BETTER COPING MECHANISIMS TO HANDLE LIFE FRUSTRATIONS. You learn to do the same by taking a few lessons.

/
I hope you know that the statistics said "on average".

So don't toot your horn. Not all women are outliving men.

Ireti divorced her husband? Watch the glow on Patrick going forward. He should go and do Thanksgiving in the nearest church.

The once elegant and beautiful edifice, prided to be the tallest building in anambra state, or perhaps the whole of the south east region is now overtaken by weed and animals due to years of neglect.

A thread was created back in 2019 when the structural masterpiece was completed, with people showing admiration and potential development the building would bring.

https://www.nairaland.com/5605357/tallest-building-south-east-umuchukwu-anambra

The Building is now left abandoned.


Please watch the video below made by a YouTube vlogger to understand the extent of its neglect.

/
Some factors:

1. Such facility needs some support system to function like constant electricity which the rural area cannot provide. Money is a limited resource. Output may not even match input so it may resort to be operating on deficit. Who is Father Christmas?

2. The building seemed like it was built based on emotion than logic. That's why he harped on it during campaign as if it is a roadmap to government house.

3. His town and the LGA conned him into believing his hype. He lost the election in his LG after all the false promises during campaign. This must have dampened his spirit which is understandable. Quiet a betrayal!

4. The man is 65 years old now. Technically he is a senior citizen in US. He should be thinking about retirement and not dabbling into the ultra -stressful Nigerian business environment.

5. As a man who grew up in the village, his success would be met with envy and jealousy especially among his peers. When he came back, it was alleged that he embraced violence instead of diplomacy in changing the name of the town to Umuchukwu. Infact many lives were lost. I am not sure that those who lost their parents and siblings or went into exile will be receptive to his developmental agenda. The little town got divided into two with each faction having separate igwe. It is a total mess. Fear who no fear village politics.

The good news is that it still makes for a tourist center for photo opps. It is always about location! Location!! Location!!!

Was just being sarcastic.
Unfortunately, I may not qualify since I am quite content with my life and can never be on any man's payroll as a wife or concubine. I really prefer a career and enjoy the fruits of my own labor. . . .like all 'modern women' who have absolutely no business with 'archaic men'!

I believe in a partnership. . . . in or out of marriage.
If my husband is stressed, I do everything possible to alleviate his concerns. I usually expect the same from him.
If people work together and avoid unnecessary distractions. . . . individuals in any relationship. . . .men or women should have a fair chance at longevity even with the odds against men.

/

If you are looking for partnership, go and start a business. Partnership is the reason many couples are stuck in divorce courts waiting for the judge to dissolve the limited liability company called marriage.

You need someone with leadership qualities whose ideas can compliment yours based on mutual respect.

By the way, na so una mouth dey sweet before marriage. Talk is cheap. Once the man tie the knot, you go carry all your life frustrations heap on his head. Patapata 15 years he gives up and join his ancestors.

My lady neighbour brought a guy last year November to live with her, introduce him to me as her boyfriend, we were even looking for a way to get this guy a job, but anytime this lady is on night shift the guy brings in another lady, this has becomes often, and it irritate me.

Pls how do I tell the lady what the guy he introduce to me as her boyfriend is doing.

/

In this kind of case, don't tell her but invent a way to have her find out by herself as soon as possible. Delay is dangerous. She introduced him to you because she considers you a friend.

Because most men are stupid enough to continue stressing themselves trying to impress women.

All these very powerful gods that need humans to defend them. People waste their time praying for protection to entities that cannot even defend themselves against ordinary humans. I was expecting thunder to strike the man dead.

It is well.

michlins:
Nigeria demarkets her own in every possible way. Issues like this are handled with confidentiality. How do you expect other countries to patronise your own if you do something like this

/

There is not a single car company that doesn't have the same issues be it Mercedes, BMW (worst offenders) or American cars.

/
Ohakim and Nnamani?

It is shocking how ex-Governors become inconsequential in Nigerian politics.

These were two governors that ruled like emperors in their respective states--their words were the laws.

Now they are being tossed around like cheap hookers.

/

/

Nigerians couldn't care less. Everyone thinks illness is not their portion until they or their loved ones end up being killed by incompetent doctors. Then they come online to wail. The level of selfishness in Nigeria is worse than corruption even though the latter is an offshoot of egoism.

The Signs of his Coming are all over places.
In all you do, ensure you are living in the Conciousness of your Eternity.

Get Ready!
Be Ready!
JESUS CHRIST is Coming!!

I am not sure Jesus wants to come back.

The current Woke movement will have him for lunch.

Crucifixion will be a child's play compared to what they will do to him in this social media era.
