Today one Elderly Man that's in late 80s came to my shop in the morning to patronize me . He was happy with me he bought a bottle of Hot drink and I offered a small bottle of dry Gin in appreciation and a New year gift.
He uttered some words of prayer for me , lastly he told me I'll be great in my business that I will grow in heights . He advised me to be very careful in choosing a girl to marry that I shouldn't pregnant a girl before going to see the parents and pay for bride price that I shouldn't even have sex with her , that a woman I marry will determine if I'll be more successful or encounter challenges in Life . I just dey reason the talk since morning.

This is spiritual I'm From Igbo and I strongly believe in Tradition this got to do with tradition think deep.

What do you guys think about it

/
It would have been nice if you did a field sobriety test on him. Who knows? The hot drink he bought could be a refill. In other words, it could have been alcohol giving you some advice.

The 8th wonder of the world has always been the disparity between the CV of Nigerians and their performance on duties.

I will like to see the CV of Dr.Okezie Ikpeazu. We are still treating formal educational degrees and certificates as traditional titles.

Just one month of talking and flying around in Nigeria... and he is out on medical checkup?



When Yar'Adua showed signs of failing health, OBJ swore for his "detractors" prior to the election. The rest is history. It will be pointless delving into the Buhari's mishap. Now a retired, worn out, senile and demented sorry of a man is warming up to destroy the remaining destiny of the Nigerian youths, and the youths stay aloof while paid image launderers are smiling to the banks.

Last last na inside church the Youths go go disturb God with unnecessary fasting and prayers when life continues to bend.

/

Nigerians are not ready for such a man.

They usually prefer senile people with nothing but empty promises like recruiting 50 million youths into the army and feeding them with garri. The more demented, the better.

The sad reality is that if a well-rounded President is elected, it will take away a huge Nigerians' hobby which is complaining. Imagine a life when there is nothing to suffer or complain about in Nigeria--a lot of chronic/habitual complainers will commit suicide.

A rejoinder to the thread which was moved to front page. Tinubu discharged and found innocent

Fair enough!

A similar tribunal dismissed corruption charges against James Ibori too.

Kini big deal?

Should we feel sorry for the idiots that keep running to pastors, prophets, mummy GOs and Daddy GOs?
That's their problem since they refuse to use their God-given brain. How can you listen to another human being tell you what God thinks? They are all scammers!

The mother of the girls should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I advocate a firing squad.

What really happened to fashola?? He seemed so intelligent when he was governor

Try hanging out with morons for a year and see what happens to your I.Q.

Everyone has a friend or family member they lend money to that has refused to pay back for months/years. That's Nigeria for you.

Do you think Nigerians will pay back loans if not strong-armed like the loan companies do? As long as the terms of the loans are clearly spelled out, if you borrow... pay it back as at when due.

Binance is not a scam.

Nigerians like to brag about being smart in the scamming game. Binance is showing them that they are novices. If your account is frozen, you will feel the pain of those mugu whose money you stole.

Many of you may not be scammers but you tacitly support them. This is one of the prices you have to pay for living in a society where crime is celebrated. Your tweets are inconsequential. Will anyone in the world be sympathetic to you hearing that Nigerians have been scammed?

Dear Nairalanders,

I got this job in 2019 and it turns out that now I am the only male senior staff except from the security guard. Way back in 2019 there were 2 other guys but they left in 2020 after our company transferred to a different location and since then, I have been the only male staff other than the security guard whose job is not in internal affairs.

She is actually my senior colleague and way older than myself but over the past year and some months now, we have been so friendly though we don't discuss relationship together or talk anything boyfriend and girlfriend together but something seems to be odd in her look whenever I talk about a girl likewise myself I felt odd when she talks about a guy she flirted with.

In my office every other staff have a nickname for us both even my boss was the one who initiated the nickname because of how close we are and even though I nurse getting under her skirts, I do not have yet the muscle to tell her that and lately I am beginning to like her more as we share everything about ourselves.

I have been to her house and can go to her house at anytime and she was the one who persuaded me to return to the company after I didn't want to return when it relocated and also convince my boss to retain me; sometimes she buys me food in the office likewise myself and always like to have me around her like working together and whenever she needs assistance over a job, she will want me to be the person to help.

I notice she and my other female (married) colleague who work in the same department with us had almost had squabble because of whom I should be assisting and since she's the most senior colleague she won over that one.

She is very single and above her 40s but I don't mind as age does not define my relationship and right now I am growing so fund of her in a way I can't stop imagining and I need your advise on how to relate my feelings and make her confess hers to me.

All criticism and advise will be duly accepted.

/

If the relationship becomes official, it will make the boss uncomfortable. Spousal collusion is real. Better have another job lined up in case...
So if the company folds up tomorrow, your family is screwed.

Rickmann:
Isn't it worrisome that the OND holders stand a better chance of securing jobs now in Nigeria. Banks, companies and even the civil service now prefer OND certifications to the Bachelor's degree.

Question now is, aren't university undergraduates wasting their time?

/
Because salary scales are based on certificates. OND/HND graduates are cheaper to employ and their productivities are at par with B.Sc holders. People with B.Sc have not shown any remarkable skills that could differentiate them from OND/HND holders. Do we blame "sorting"?

/

Glink2018:
...for your mind...

I guess ..., you are an atheist?

/
You don't even know the meaning of atheism.

Religion is man-made and has little or nothing to do with spirituality. One can believe in God without going through the narrow and nonsensical cum dogmatic conscription of religion.

{
This is an unnecessary distraction.

If Buhari's image could be laundered very well prior to 2015 election, Tinubu's own will be a walk in the park. At least he has something tangible to show unlike Buhari.

That's how low we have got.

/
The North finished 2 terms of 8 years.

So the North doing one more term of 4 years is supposed to favor Igbo Presidency. Why stand logic on its head?

/

/
18 months?

That will be a goodbye gift from Buhari.

/

/
Africa will be great if we can take away religion and sex. These two are the major preoccupation and downfall of most black folks.

faste:
Ask abacha and IBB how much they looted from Nigeria.

/
What IBB and Abacha looted is a child's play compared to what was looted during OBJ, GEJ or Buhari's tenure. Under OBJ, $16bn remains unaccounted for electricity project alone. Think of other avenues of siphoning fund.

Damn!

FEGEITOK:
Had to respond to this again with a quote:

"New Internet-enabled provide not only recording of activities, but real-time monitoring.

And they do so using small, easily-hidden devices, which means four, five or six webcams can be positioned to give different views of the same area.

Dummy cameras disabled by burglars have no bearing on the live webcams still humming away. Internet-based surveillance gives owners an immediate view of what is happening outside and inside their homes.

Compared to alarm systems, webcams are the next-best thing to catching a burglar red-handed. Help is a quick 911 call away."

Ignore the 911 part but if you have arrangements with reputable security companies who have friends with law enforcement you are covered.

If you are rich enough, make friends with the Commissioner of Police in your State and put him on your p****** same for the DPO in your area.

That's what all the moneybags do and you are assured of quick response to your emergencies.

That's how we roll in Nigeria security wise.

/
Commissioner of Police and or DPO?
I don't know what country you live in definitely not Nigeria.
I read 911 and figured someone need to wake you up from your dream. There is no such thing immediate tactical response in Nigeria. What rickety vehicle will they use to get to the scene on time? Let's assume there will be petrol in the vehicle in the first place.

Damnnn niggar



Democracy is still the best son
No matter how you try to confuse us
Army don flog you before just because you were unable to pay nepa bills......ask them elderly ones in your family...

/
You bought into the hype.

Democracy has been the worst in Nigeria. The looters use your line of argument to continue looting unabated while hoping that people like you will help propagate the myth. Perhaps you should have added that "true democracy" is still the best option

/

/
Before blaming the son, check if the mother is one of those that give testimony that their sons have "hammered" even when their sons have no known source of income.

Nature abhors vacuum.

Nobody is discouraging anyone from travelling abroad. Respective Embassies do that through gate-keeping.

They ask people to stop treating family members abroad as an ATM as they don't pick money on trees. That's all. Wanna travel? Go to the nearest Embassy. Can anyone really convince you not to travel if you have a valid visa?

The funny thing about the pictures is that I didn't see a single gold jewelry on the trio.

Some put in more effort in looking rich than being wealthy.

Go figure!

Some even believe that one necklace is not enough to show off their brokenness. No! They must wear three or four at a time like an insane dog.

No!

They are IPOB/ESN. From South-East to North-East and now in South-West.

michlins:
sure. But until then, let's do something that isn't electric dependent

/
I don’t think traps use electricity.

Just imagine other thieves trying to separate their partner from an antelope trap. The shout, pain and cries. I will pay to watch it.

FEGEITOK:
Smiles

There are door and window sensors that automatically turn on video recording the moment the sensor is activated

Then following the activation the owner is informed via a mobile app

They can be programed to begin playing games with floodlights and audio alarms for the homeowner and even the theif to hear

Which thieves can successfully operate the moment they know that they have been noticed?

And noticed so loudly.

Combine this with notification of armed response and you are good to go.

My point is this, security is more than high walls and gates, nor is in burglary proofing windows.

True security is a layered approached and has several components that work in unison to protect whatever asset you wish to protect.

This is not wishful thinking, this technology already exists and is being used by real people

/

The first step in fighting crime in Nigeria starts with steady electricity. A lot of innovations will come to mind

Whiteangel1234:
There is a raging debate for Charles Soludo to appoint the Swiss Woman popularly known as Nwanyiocha and married to an Anambra Man From Isuofia as a commissioner for Tourism in his new Government

What is your take on this ?

#NwanyiochaForTourismAnambra

Her Twitter account


https://twitter.com/nwanyi_ocha?t=JPyttg4r-GXNMSI5_S8-0w&s=09

/
Based on what?

Just marriage? Or because she is White?

/

FEGEITOK:
Motion detectors, alarm systems and intelligent video cameras that alert owner when object comes into view can address this.

/

Waste of money.

Just set big antelope traps strategically and marked (so you know the exact locations to avoid stories that touch) outside your windows.

Then sit back and enjoy the show.

Of what use are the video cameras that will only show you how your house is burglarized? I prefer loss prevention.
