Enter? No!

Islamic herdsmen are always there to teach you all the lessons you need. Your God is great. Their Allah is Akbar. Meanwhile they are the ones giving you sleepless night. Glad the pastors are smart enough to move with armed security men and in bulletproof cars. They ain't waiting on the archangels for protection unlike your ilks.

How far is Lagos from Oyo?

I will comment when they land in Lagos--the last frontier.

We need 4 more years of Tinubu for the country to collapse completely. E must reach everyone.

Did you think he was with Shekau or Osama bin Laden?

Who knows?
Afterall the Christian God in the Bible led Israelites on murderous expeditions.

"Girlfriend" is just euphemism for a runs girl that sleeps with a man without haggling for price first. Or you think those runs girls are not people's girlfriends? They are running lease programs--rent for temporary use. That's all.

So with one mouth, they will shout that they are atheists,
With another mouth, they are not happy that Christians don't want to vote for a godless person.

So God is only with the christians?

WorkTheTalk:
These figures are deeply alarming and show that insecurity is still one of Nigeria’s biggest national emergencies. Nearly 20,000 deaths and over 12,000 abductions within about three years is not just a statistic — it represents thousands of families destroyed, communities displaced, businesses affected, and growing fear across the country.

Unfortunately, the so-called C-In-C does not care. His concern is about how to manipulate the institutions to rule Nigeria, even when majority of the people have rejected him.

Even the wife, the so-called pastor, could not say a word of comfort yesterday 27th May, being children's day as a month, but was so outspoken in 2014 on the #chibok attacks which they orchestrated to remove GEJ.

They are slowly getting to Lagos.

BAT 2027!

It is unfair if Lagos never collect.

Nigerians jump into fire and start complaining that it burns.

They came dressed like soldiers. That was the first thing he noticed. He walked us through everything. the direction they came from, the path they took, the moment everything changed.

The best anyone can do is contribute money for burial. Sticking out ones neck for Nigeria, especially Nigerians is not worth it. I believe the people are cursed. Proverbs 28:9 is at work for " if someone deliberately ignores God's teachings, even their prayers become detestable to Him"

About 1,000 politicians holding 240 million people at ransom. 240 million people at the mercy of 30,000. And they say there is power in numbers. I think the land is full of cowards. Otherwise make it make sense. Even if the government makes arms legal, many will still rather die than defend themselves.

Rapmoney:
Do you still say 'My trousers has gators' or 'I want to put gators on my trousers'? If you do, it is totally wrong in standard English. This is the reason why some Nigerians get rejected for teaching jobs in the UK and in the US.

When you address grammatical mistakes, people that hate learning and knowledge, and those who don't know the essence of correct communication in business in formal environments will argue unnecessarily with you from a baseless perspective.

Gator is a short word for "alligator," which is a large reptile. In very specific, rare fashion contexts, a "gator" can also refer to a material or leather texture that looks like crocodile skin, but it is never used to describe clothing lines.

WHAT TO SAY:
1. My trousers has a sharp crease
2. Our trousers have sharp creases
3. I want to make the crease of my trousers to be sharp.

Crease is the line, mark, or ridge produced on fabric when it is folded and ironed.

I hope you have learnt something today?

Not a problem as long as you understand that some born and bred British students still score "F" in English classes.

Election around the corner.
Politicians smiling. Smooth trap for those to be sacrificed.

It should be at least N3000/kg.

Sebi people are celebrating that Tinubu won APC Primaries? They think politics is like Arsenal vs Man.U in which support comes with no consequences.

Let everyone suffer a beg. . Only a slowpoke will do giveaway to Nigerians.

AustineE1:
Even if it is the reason he is been beaten,I don't really think is right,people have the right to campaign for him but nobody should be coerce to vote for him. Violence is not the solution,we will get our voters cards ready,prepare to protect our votes at all cost and send him packing from Aso Rock without any form of violence.
My take!

/

But it is ok for his boys to threaten voters with violence in Lagos abi?

/

All these costumes in the ever hot and humid African weather. Wait! And Nigerian lawyers are still wearing black robes and rug on their heads.

Don't mock her!

Most of the ladies will end up like her.

Feminism and wokeness are decorating 40 years for them. The most painful part is that the proponents of feminism/wokeism are silently married with children but leading the basket of gullible to abyss.

But on the flip side, have you ever seen a beautiful feminist? She doesn't exist!

Ironfaceman:
What is this nonsense again.Is like the name Nigeria means nothing again.

Why are other nations quick to humiliate Nigerians but back home we worship foreigners a lot

Even the ones from Chad and Niger.

Lolz.

No matter how much it is talked, it takes only stepping out of the country to realize that nobody sends the country. Despised at home; loathed abroad. Yet they believe they are wise. 10,000 people doing well out of about 500,000 abroad is still horrible.

I have a different take on ethnic jingoism, xenophobia and racism. You must beat them at their own game to prove them otherwise. You can't win championship by complaining about Arsenal. Defeat them by 5:0 to bury their pride.

Funny guy!

No be person wey dey butter your bread you go praise? How is America different?

First thing first, a 21-yrs old Nigerian male is intellectually equivalent to a 12-yrs old in a decent society and should not be managing any business for the parents. Only those who went through apprenticeship can do that.

Final final, Adimike overexposed his wealth to the son. I can understand the frustration. Some men are philanthropists outside but stingy at home. With IG and Facebook, his wards could see what should have been and the resentment sets in.

Nigerian politicians are never tested and that's why they treat the citizens like the cowards that they are.

HacheNoire:
Iran has turned Donald Trump to a journalist. 🤣🤣🤣

What a time to be alive! Who could have believed 2 years ago that IS president will one day become a journalist.

The people you fighting with are not even making it at issue and the US president is the one broadcasting.

Persians are built different!

/
That's because you live in a world where a President acts like god and ignore the citizens on critical issues. Massive kidnappings, massacres and gross inflation; your President carries on in denial and treat the complacent masses like pieces of shit. In your world, a President that communicates regularly with the citizens is a journalist while an egghead that remains mute in existential threat is a great President. Continue ...

Slizzords:
Good afternoon everyone, I know that nairaland is filled with a lot of reasonable and experienced people, am a young man and I need guidance please.

So am married with a 8 month old baby, and make about 1M naira monthly for the past 3years now , it's not been easy from a financial aspect because we live in lagos and I discover that as I write this, I don't have up to 3M naira to my name, I don't know how money disappears, please note that am not a lavish spender, I don't party or go clubbing.

Please how do I save more money, because God forbid something happens now I don't have any money to fall back on. No landed property or anything. Please I need help thanks.

N1 million per month is a decent salary. Learn not to be wasteful bc a million today is not what it used to be five years ago.

If you like take Nigerians to paradise, the curse will always follow them. It ain't got nothing with bad governance or corrupt politicians---still part of the system. It is actually unlawful to be honest in Nigeria. One can be arrested for being an upright citizen. Given a better opportunity, many still opt for crime

oarowosola:
I met her sometime around April or May last year, and from the beginning, things seemed fine between us. Like every relationship, we both made sacrifices, and even though I don’t like keeping score in relationships, I know I gave a lot of myself into it. Over time, though, I started noticing certain habits and behaviors that became harder and harder for me to ignore. At first, I kept convincing myself that maybe I was overthinking things or expecting too much, but eventually I realized that I was simply becoming exhausted.

One of the biggest issues for me was cleanliness and basic responsibility. I’m not a perfect person, and I can be nonchalant too. I’m someone who enjoys my own space and doesn’t constantly need attention or communication. If someone is busy and doesn’t check up on me for a while, I honestly don’t take it personally. But what bothered me was the imbalance. She could disappear for days or weeks whenever she was occupied and expect me to understand, but if I withdrew into my own space just to protect my peace, she would become upset about it. That double standard was one of the first things that started weighing on me emotionally.

The first time I visited her house, I was shocked by how untidy it was. I’m not obsessive about cleanliness, but I believe there should be a basic level of order, especially when you know someone is visiting you for the first time. When she came to my place for the first time, I made an effort. I cleaned my house , mopped the floor, arranged the bed, and even bought small things just to make the environment more comfortable. It wasn’t about trying to impress her with money; it was simply intentionality. I wanted her to feel welcomed.

But each time I visited her place, the environment remained the same. One particular day, after she stepped out, I decided to clean the entire house myself just to prove a point. While sweeping, I found sugar inside the couch, rotting cashew scattered around, and several things that clearly caused unpleasant odors. I cleaned the parlour, arranged the bedroom, organized her bags, and put everything in order. When she came back, she thanked me, but I remember telling her that it shouldn’t get to the point where her boyfriend had to clean her entire house before it became livable. I told her clearly that if I visited again and the place was still in that condition, it would probably be the last time I came there.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. On another visit, the smell in the house was so terrible that I kept trying to trace where it was coming from. Eventually, I discovered a sack beside the couch she had been sitting on. Something inside it had gone bad, and the odor was unbearable. I carried it outside myself because I couldn’t understand how someone could stay in that environment comfortably. Later, when she went to make yam and eggs, I followed her into the kitchen and found another terrible smell coming from plates that had clearly been sitting there for days. Instead of cleaning the sink first, she simply pushed the dirty dishes aside and placed the yam directly on the dirty sink to peel it. In that moment, I felt completely traumatized and emotionally checked out.

Beyond cleanliness, I also started feeling unappreciated in the relationship. On her birthday, I called her early in the morning, posted her on my WhatsApp status, and celebrated her the best way I could at the time, even though I was broke. Yet she still complained that I didn’t make her birthday special enough. Meanwhile, on my own birthday, there was no call in the morning, no thoughtful gesture, nothing until later at night when she casually said she forgot because she had been going through a lot. What hurt me more was that I had actually bought her gifts for her birthday, including a designer bag and matching slippers I personally made for her. It wasn’t really about material things; it was the imbalance in effort and thoughtfulness.

I also noticed the same imbalance in everyday life. Whenever she visited my place, I was usually the one cooking, cleaning, and taking care of things even while working from home as a shoemaker. Most times she would just sit pressing her phone while I handled everything. She barely cooked for me throughout the relationship, and eventually I stopped going out of my way because I started feeling taken for granted.

Money became another issue. She would borrow money and either delay repayment or never complete it. As a shoemaker, the money I receive for jobs is not pure profit because most of it goes back into materials and production. Yet I still found myself lending her large amounts from jobs I was supposed to complete quickly. Even when she paid back partially, it felt emotionless, almost like she didn’t recognize the inconvenience it caused me.

The final straw happened recently when she visited me during a very busy work period. She suggested we spend the night in a hotel even though my house was already comfortable, and I agreed. I paid for the room, and when food was ordered later that night, I still ended up paying almost everything despite already spending heavily on the hotel. The next day, after returning from the market exhausted from buying materials for work, I expected to at least meet food at home since all the ingredients were available. Instead, I walked into a kitchen with bread wrappers and milk sachets scattered around while she had already eaten without cleaning up after herself. I still ended up cooking for myself.

The following morning, after she made food during the night, she left the kitchen in complete disorder again. Pots, plates, and leftovers were everywhere while I woke up early to continue working. Rather than cleaning up, she sat watching TikTok videos. Eventually I had to pause my own work to clean the kitchen myself because I couldn’t stand the environment anymore. At that point, I realized I was mentally exhausted.

What made everything clearer for me was understanding that this wasn’t just about dirt or money. It was about incompatibility. I realized I was constantly carrying responsibilities that should have been shared. I’m not against people hiring cleaners or getting help. I also take some of my clothes to dry cleaners. But there’s a difference between getting assistance and being unable to handle basic responsibilities yourself. If someone who is meant to clean your house doesn’t show up, there should still be a basic ability to sweep, organize, remove trash, and maintain a healthy environment. I couldn’t understand depending entirely on other people for something so fundamental.

At some point, I stopped seeing peace in the relationship. I started feeling drained instead of supported. Even during intimate moments, she would make comments like, “If you leave me, I will haunt you,” and although she may not have meant it literally, those kinds of statements only made me more uncomfortable emotionally.

Eventually, I accepted the truth that we are simply not compatible. I don’t hate her, and I’m not trying to paint myself as perfect. I just know that I can no longer continue in a relationship where I constantly feel emotionally exhausted, unappreciated, and burdened. I’ve reached a point where I no longer want to argue, explain, or force things to work. I’ve already made up my mind that the relationship is over, and at this point, I just want to walk away peacefully and move on with my life.

What do you think? Be nice please

It will be nice to give a little detail about personal hygiene. Do you have to pinch your nose during horizontal mumbo jumbo?

I silently pray that Tinubu wins. They already passed Kwara. Now in Oyo en route Lagos.

Prepare for tragi-comedy ahead.

Tinubu will fix Nigeria...when his tenure is over. How do Nigerians see clear and present danger, live in squalor and yet refuse to acknowledge it? That's why it is safe to worship God but not the one that created Nigerians.

What if the man loses his job?

N150k turns to N0k.

She is an ingrate. Although I don't see why a married man with a pregnant wife earning meagre N280k/month will still be supporting his parents and siblings. Going by her maths, it doesn't seem like the man is saving anything for maternity and baby. He needs all the money he can save right now.
