Insulting those men is like insulting people who drink garri. Let the poor breathe.

Who told this minister of darkness that he can be a governor

How did he manage to get 19000+ votes?

It shows how irredeemable some Nigerians are indeed.

I don't understand.

The man has been dutifully sharing the proceeds with her. Or she thinks money falls from heaven?

There is no free meal.

KnowledgePower7:
Never Marry A Female Content Creator

Anytime I go on Facebook I always see my uncle wife misbehaving online and calling it content creator

All her life is documted in video.
She shares screenshot of private messages online

Any small thing she run to social media and tell the whole world what happened.
Imagine she video her son breastfeeding and uploaded it. A very private moment

Now my uncle was seen as a no nonesense man, but the way this woman talk too much about their personal things is baffling.
She will even post after they had sex🙄

There is no single privacy

Then the one that burst my head was when she started uploading sexy pictures with half revealing clothes😤😤 A married woman oo

I used a burner account to advice her to stop doing this and she insulted me and blocked me.

The husband go dey work
Him wife go dey embarrass the whole family online in the name of content creators
Now the respect for this man don reduce because he now looks like a weak man and the wife looks like she is running the show

/

Did your uncle complain to you?

Akell:
Every few months, social media erupts with another shocking story of a man discovering that the child he raised is not biologically his. In response, some people now argue that DNA testing at birth should become a standard hospital procedure.

Supporters believe compulsory DNA testing would:

• prevent paternity fraud,
• protect men from deception,
• reduce future family disputes, and
• provide medical and genetic certainty from birth.

Opponents, however, argue that it could:

• undermine trust in marriages and relationships,
• increase broken homes,
• create a culture of suspicion, and
• unfairly stigmatise women and children.

There are also broader concerns about:

• privacy and data protection,
• the financial cost of testing,
• possible government abuse or regulation, and
• whether Nigeria’s healthcare system even has the capacity to implement such a policy effectively.

So, what do you think?

• Should DNA testing at birth be compulsory, optional, or discouraged?

• Would you personally support it within your own family?

• Is trust enough, or should science settle these questions once and for all?

Ladies and gentlemen of Nairaland, over to you.

Necessary? Yes.
Mandatory? No.

How do you create scenarios where others can learn? Simps are needed for case studies.

They are both sissies.

The one that cried in public and the one that cried in private for being cheated on. A real man would observe, do the needful and nobody will hear about it. It will stay as unsolved mystery.

There is always something good in a bad situation.
Debts have destroyed many friendships. Loan Apps filled the void. Those chronic debtors can now appreciate those friends that lent them with no interest rates yet they refused to pay.

There is that beautiful lady you can date but something tells you to avoid her. That's Changan cars in Nigeria. The planned obsolescence in these cars are appalling. The more electronic gadgets, the more headaches when they go bad, which they will eventually do. Or won't a Nigerian mechanic be the one to open your bonnet? Availability of parts, knowledgeable mechanic and the Nigerian terrain should be your major concerns.

To buy easy. Na to maintain be wahala.

People built the APC. Defectors are generally seen as opportunists and are reduced to spectators in the scheme of things. That's what happened.

He is speaking like a slowpoke that he is. In Nigerian politics, everyone can see the interests but most keep it inside. Pascal was openly announcing that he wants his bread buttered. Pretense is part of the game. All of a sudden he wants to be an Igbo victim

/

/
This is a sample test of the integrity and methodology of the new APC INEC chairman. He is going to be far worse than Mahmoud Yakubu.

/

/
N1k to vote APC?

And when bandits ravage their communities, they want sane folks to empathize with them.

That's the only reason he is still in existence.

But he doesn't realize that yet. They will cheer him to an early grave and then turn around to yab him.

When it was happening in Kwara and Niger states, the residents of Oyo seemed unconcerned just like Lagosians right now. E go reach everyone.

/

/
I thought Benin/Edo is the kingdom of cultists. What are those cowards doing to protect their city?

Life is meaningless in the country and that's why faced with existential threat, the citizens appear nonchalant. Where else in the world can this happen without the citizens taking it upon themselves to destroy the menace?

Throwback picture of Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila and lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency 1, Desmond Elliot when the going was good.

Can they still sit together like this in future?

He proved to be useless in his two tenures.

Is he not the youthful rep member that built that popular toilet in his constituency? Is he not the one that called for intolerance and high-handedness against the EndSARS protesters?

Unmerited favour---answer from above.

Patapata na police station go settle am.

As expected, I said that Oyo will be next frontier after Kwara before they finally land in Lagos. Nigerians should continue playing ostrich and cheering the rehabilitation of terrorists.

It is simple.

God is all forgiving.

Let him(?) forgive Satan first.

Let's hope that Jesus cares about this.

Princedapace:
I was battling with network issues recently, and it reminded me how difficult it has become to survive here. There is no stable electricity. Most of us survive on generators.

South Africa achieved significant progress in electricity within two years, yet after four years, nothing meaningful has changed here. It is still the same story and the same daily struggle.

Now, remove emotions for a moment and look at the reality:

A kilogram of gas is about ₦1,400. That is extremely high for a country with very low salaries.
A crate of eggs is between ₦5,500 and ₦6,000.
A bag of cement is around ₦12,000. This is one of the reasons house rent has skyrocketed, because many citizens can no longer afford to build homes.
Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in most state capitals now starts from about ₦2.5 million and above. That is insane for a country where the majority of citizens are struggling financially.
Fuel is around ₦1,400 per litre.

Fuel powers our generators. If you run two businesses, you may need two generators.

For someone like me who works online, I need electricity almost 24/7. A huge part of my income goes into fueling and servicing generators because, most nights, my generator runs till morning. I work with clients across different time zones, sometimes at 2AM.

What does all of this mean?

Our purchasing power has dropped drastically.

Yet, despite these realities, the tax burden keeps increasing.

I honestly want to ask: does the government truly understand what Nigerians are going through?

Even someone earning ₦25m–₦30m yearly in today’s Nigeria is not necessarily living comfortably. A large percentage of that income already goes into solving basic social problems and surviving.

You pay for:

Electricity
Security
Healthcare
Transportation
Water
Education

Everything.

So where exactly is the money left to pay huge taxes from?

How many Nigerians can genuinely save millions yearly after handling all their responsibilities as parents, children, and providers?

To survive, many people are already being forced to reduce their quality of life:

Cutting down electricity usage despite terrible heat
Moving children from good schools
Switching from bottled water to sachet water
Selling better cars for cheaper alternatives because of fuel costs
Cancelling vacations and basic comfort

The painful part is that many self-employed Nigerians hustle endlessly just to stay afloat, yet at the end of the year, they are still expected to pay heavy taxes.

One of my friends, despite earning what many would call “good money,” is already in debt because of school fees and living expenses. Yet, government expectations are based only on income figures, not the harsh realities behind those figures.

And remember, this is a country where many parents depend on their children financially just to survive.

Honestly, many leaders cannot relate to what ordinary Nigerians are facing because:

Their electricity is sorted
Their security is sorted
Their healthcare is sorted
Their feeding is sorted

So they may never truly feel the pain of the average citizen.

Dear Nigerian leaders, Nigerians are suffering.

We are exhausted.

What could be done differently?

Reduce excessive tax burdens. Maybe 3 percent for now. Please, this country is poor or increase the threshold to maybe 50m per year if you truly wants to target the rich for income tax.
Fix electricity.
Tackle corruption seriously.
Improve security so farmers can return to farms safely.
Support the tech economy so more young people can earn online.
Invest in skills and digital opportunities.
Cut down excessive government spending and luxury packages for politicians.

Nigeria is a poor country with multidimensional poverty. In many homes, one working person carries the burden of an entire extended family.

Tax should not be the first priority when citizens are already struggling to survive.

As I write this now, my area is in complete darkness again. Families will spend heavily on fuel tonight just to have light for a few hours.

So I ask again: after paying for survival, where exactly should the tax money come from?

We are tired.

The bills are too much.

please can someone push this to front page?

I want to understand why the sacrfice must be done by the suffering masses instead of the politicians. I am curios to know why. Why must I suffer what I didn't cause?

You asked for one reason. But I will give you two reasons. I am glad you didn't ask for a "good" reason.

1. He is a Yoruba.
2. He is a muslim.

A typical Nigerian will definitely vote tribe and religion over personal or communal interests. After voting, they join the rest to bitch, whine, wail and complain. It is a generational curse.

/

/
He fell for the scam.
Community people will encourage anyone with money to come and represent them politically. They know that campaigns come with money and freebies. They have disappointed many people before and Pascal's case is no different. As a hustler that he claims, he should understand that what they did is village political hustling.

/

Not surprising.

Whatever bad habit oyibo vomits, Nigerians swallow gleefully.

Christianity came. They embraced it with their lives. With time so did homosexuality, babymama, wokeness and divorce. Once oyibo start promoting marrying animals, just run for the hills because your average Nigerian is very impressionable.

A beautiful lady and a straight man CANNOT just be friends. Impossible!

Let me check.

Wait!

Germany is a first world country. That explains it.

Why would any sane person pay tax to a government that provides no basic amenities? The story of looters walking free in Nigeria doesn't make a good case for tax payment. Yahaya Bello is sitting on N70 billion and the FG appears helpless.

Till you get the money and have cancer

Good health then money

Pray to have the duo like you existence depends on it

Money provides solution.
Compare a cancer patient who is rich vs poor
People deny themselves appropriate medical attention because of N10k consultation fee. Go figure!

Nothing in life is EVERYTHING by the way. Good health combined with poverty can lead to frustration and that's when Third Mainland bridge starts calling.
