If not for village people, why would Sowore ignore those that arrested him and start attacking someone else who has no dog in the fight? Abi Sowore want be one man Iran? Leave US/Israel that bombed you and start attacking Middle East. However the difference here is that Obi has no interest in his arrest.

Carry your protest go your region.

If I see any misguided elements disrupting commercial activities in any part of South West, I will make the person sorry for such stupid acts.

Don't say I didn't warn you

Protest or no protest, I still pray that the most wicked wins. The only reason I detest Tinubu is because he is not punishing Nigerians enough. I predicted it. I am enjoying it.

Imagine if you have 70 inch OLED tv and DSTV and 24hrs power supply, would you worry if your neighbour won't let you come in to watch Tv in his house?

That's the angle that Nigerians refuse to think. Why is the name "Nigeria" always appear in every immigration brouhaha around the world? Fixing it involves fixing Nigeria first. The way Nigerians bemoan immigration problems, one may think that they are migrating from a place worse than abyss.

Dubai, Indonesia, Ghana, South Africa chasing away Nigerians. All Nigerians do is run from pillar to post instead of fighting for their country like others.

If they shut down South African businesses, what of the business of other countries that love to hate Nigerians?. Who didn't see the massive SA crowd? That's citizens that care for their country no matter how misplaced their requests. Can Nigerians protest for anything? All they do is complain and push comes to shove, they run to other countries developed by humans and expect princely welcome.

Lagos flooding provides moment of truth for those flexing expensive cars with electric power steering unit. Eyes go clear. Na canopy and garage straight or months at Kazeem workshop because it is an expensive fix. Fix it and the flooding next week spoils it again until the owner gives up.

The wages of sin is death.

Hell was invented to scare the living. Catholics upped the ante by inventing Purgatory. Different denominations in Christianity is people trying erroneously to forge better understanding of God. It doesn't help that Christianity is not one true and loving family. Divisions and unhealthy competition exist in the so-called body of Christ.

Solution: Keep your wallets at home. No transfers to any accounts belonging to any church.

Few days ago, the internet went berserk following the statements made by a Nigerian rapper, Oludemilade Martin Alejo aka YCee on the Afropolitan Podcast. The rapper expressed concern that Nigerian internet culture currently rewards ignorance and shock value rather than academic or artistic excellence. He compared the rise of online viral stars to "Peller culture" and claimed society is accommodating "unintelligent and ignorant people.

Many Nigerians, especially the younger generations were rattled by his opinions, but we must face and accept the truth. For your information, YCee is just 29 years old, and could be said to miss the Gen Z age group by just one year or so. This means that he is not even in his middle age yet, but could boldly stand up and say the bitter truth.

Our internet culture, truth be told, does not promote academic intelligence and excellence in our young ones. It oftentimes promotes mediocrity and people with little or no societal value. If a young person invents or introduces a technology that could be developed to boost the living standard of the society, it fades away within 48 hours or less on the internet. But Nigerians become so focused and vibrate with so much energy that can power the National Grid when it involves the nude video of an actress or a content creator. We dwell so much on trivial issues. If a so-called content creator with big ass and big boobs cries online that she is broke, Nigerians don't mind requesting for her account details to send money. Even the ones that cannot give their parents 2000 Naira. But just post a young lad that invented something worthy and call on people to donate to him so that such technology could be improved, and watch how people quickly slide to another video online.

The truth is that the internet culture in Nigeria does not promote excellence in academics, science and technology, innovations, etc., rather it promotes nudity, fake life, trivial discussions, and things that destroy our culture and traditions.

Peller might not be the centerpiece or theme of YCee's statements. Peller could just be a metaphor for such internet practice and belief. So it is not worthy for people to make it seem as if it was a direct attack on Peller. We should always see such statements from a deeper side. Truth is a bitter pill.

This twerking culture on social media platforms that our young women have come to embrace actually started among the black American females. They sold that culture to us. It wasn't ours. You don't see Asian women twerking on the internet. It is always black American women and their counterparts in Nigeria (mostly Nigeria), Ghana, Kenya, etc. It is the same reason why the black internet culture in America promotes gun violence, drugs, and nude twerking.

Sometime ago, one young man in Nigeria trended for screaming one thing or the other while selling fish pie. Fish pie! Can a young man in Nigeria trend that way for inventing a robot that can do house chores? Which one is more difficult to achieve? To scream and sell fish pie or to invent a robot that can do house chores? Your answer should be able to tell your level of reasoning.

In conclusion, YCee's podcast goes beyond Peller. It is more about how Nigeria internet rewards mediocrity over excellence.

Everything disgusting, demeaning, deplorable, reprehensible and depressing about African-American culture that people love to hate was fully embraced by Nigerians. Infact Nigerians have turned to akata both males and females. Those Nigerians that used to abstain from anything akata have come to realize that an average akata these days are better behaved than their Nigerian counterparts.

The men are better off marrying akata women than the pretentious hookupians that litter the Nigerian space. Daughters of Jesus on Sundays but full-time love vendors in secret.

APC, ADC, NDC?

I could care less. I just want the most wicked candidate to win. Time of advising Nigerians is long gone

My primary duty is to measure their pain threshold.

When did this dating rubbish enter the lexicon of Nigeria? They will copy the lifestyle of the West and abuse the hell out of it. I guess it is the new era.

Terrorism exists in Nigeria because others see Fulani people and make excuses for them. Make them persona-non-grata and the threats disappear overnight.

Igbo people have different definition of billionaire.

A used Rolls Royce, a Hilux and 5-bedroom houses (one in the city and one in the village) automatically qualifies anyone to be a "billionaire" in the South-East.

Ifeoluwadev:
Let me start by saying this: I know what you are thinking. "This guy don craze." Even my own mother cried when I told her I was coming back.

I left Nigeria in 2019. Got a visa through my company's transfer program, packed two bags, and landed in Manchester on a cold Tuesday morning that nearly killed my Lagos raised soul.

For 5 years, I did everything "right."

Got a better paying job. Sent money home every month. Upgraded my family's life. Got my indefinite leave to remain sorted. On paper, I was living the dream every Nigerian prays for at night.

But last December, I packed those same two bags now four and came back to Lagos.

Here is why.

1. I WAS LONELY IN A WAY I CANNOT FULLY EXPLAIN

Nobody warns you about this.

You can be surrounded by colleagues, housemates, even "friends" and still feel like a ghost. British people are polite but not warm. There is a difference. You will smile at your neighbor for 3 years and never know his first name.

In Lagos, my street alone has more genuine human connection than my entire postcode in Manchester. My landlord's wife used to bring me food when I was sick. My neighbor knew my name within 24 hours.

I did not realize how much I needed that until I did not have it anymore.

2. THE MONEY LOOKED BIG UNTIL IT DIDN'T

Yes, I was earning in pounds. But London/UK cost of living will humble you fast.

Rent: £900/month for a small flat. Food: £400/month if you cook mostly at home. Transport: £200/month. Bills: £150/month.

By the time you finish doing the math, that "big salary" is already half gone before you enjoy anything. And if you have family back home depending on you, which most of us do, you are effectively running two households.

Back in Lagos, with the savings and investments I had built up, I now run a small logistics business. Last month I cleared more in naira than I was taking home in pounds after expenses.

People forget to calculate purchasing power and cost of living when they are dreaming about abroad.

3. I WAS AGEING WITHOUT LIVING
This one is personal.

In the UK, my routine was: wake up, commute, work, come home, cook, sleep, repeat. Weekends were for grocery shopping and rest because Monday was always coming.

In Lagos, even with the chaos, there is LIFE. There is noise and owambe and suya at midnight and people who actually want to sit with you and argue about football for 3 hours. There is color. There is energy.

I went to the UK and became productive. I came back to Nigeria and started actually living.

4. MY PARENTS ARE GETTING OLD
I watched my father shrink over video calls. My mother's hair went completely white in 3 years. They never complained, that is the Nigerian parent way, but I could see it.

No amount of money sent home replaces presence. I know that sounds like something on a greeting card, but I promise you it is true. My father's face when I walked through the door in December is something I will never forget.

I refuse to be the child who shows up for the burial after spending the last good years sending money instead of time.

5. OPPORTUNITY IN NIGERIA IS UNDERRATED
This will be controversial, I know.

But hear me out. Nigeria is hard. The infrastructure is a disaster. Fuel prices are criminal. The government is not your friend.

AND YET, for someone with skill, international exposure, savings, and the willingness to grind, Nigeria rewards you in ways that a saturated Western economy cannot. The competition is not as fierce at the top. The gaps in the market are enormous.

I identified a logistics gap in my area. Started small. Now I have 6 staff and three vehicles. I am building something. In the UK I was building someone else's dream.

THE HONEST DOWNSIDES, I WON'T LIE TO YOU

Light situation is still a spiritual attack. Generator fuel is expensive. The roads want to kill me daily. Some things that should take 30 minutes take 3 days because of bureaucracy. I sometimes miss the simple efficiency of abroad. Ordering something and it actually arrives. Bills that just work.

I am not here to sell you a fantasy. Nigeria is hard. But it is MY hard. And I am building something meaningful inside it.

FINAL WORD

I am not saying don't Japa. If you have the opportunity and you are young, GO. Gather experience, save money, build skills, see the world.

But do not let anyone make you feel like returning home is failure. It is a choice. And for me, it has been the best one I ever made.

I am home. I am building. I am alive.

As you enter Nigeria, no begin go join associations and organizations. They are big black tax holes. Keep your circle of friends minimal. Leeches are watching keenly. If they start "hailing" you, it is over. Being called "stingy" in Nigeria is a badge of honour. There are way too many obligate beggars with different formats who exist to bankrupt a cheerful giver.

Prevention is better than cure. No be to carry water give monkey, na to retrieve cup be wahala.

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139777642]“Date multiple men, let the winner be announced in church” — Lady says

A lady has triggered widespread reactions on social media after sharing her views on heartbreak, dating patterns, and long-term relationships in a video that has since gone viral.

In the video, she advised women on what she believes is a more effective approach to relationships, contrasting it with the idea of staying committed to one partner for too long without clear outcomes.

Advice on dating patterns
The lady argued that heartbreaks often occur when individuals remain in long-term relationships with a single partner, suggesting that such situations may lead to disappointment later on.

Full statement from the lady

“The reason why your heart is always shattered, always broken is because you dated one boyfriend. Ba my mum dey date one man. You can’t tell me nothing. That is why you dated a man for 10 years, he will still leave you and marry a girl he meets in three months. Date multiple men, let the winner be announced in church.”

Online reactions
Her comments have since sparked mixed reactions online, with some users debating whether modern dating requires multiple options, while others criticised the advice as controversial and unrealistic.

Many social media users also pointed out the differences between traditional relationship values and evolving dating practices among young people.

The video has added to ongoing conversations about commitment, loyalty, and relationship strategies in contemporary dating culture, especially among younger Nigerians navigating long-term partnerships.

The reason why you keep getting heartbreak is because you are dating one guy, date multiple men so your heart won’t be broken” — Lady pic.twitter.com/FOvGnFwoz1

She makes sense. But now that you know the game plan, what's the exit strategy? Some men behave as if good relationship is a scarce commodity. Out of desperation, they fall into avoidable traps

Obavoh:
They call it YO-YO MILK

Sellers here in the North rebag it into small transparent Nylon and sell it for ₦50-₦200 only because of the size.

A lot of parents here buy it for their Children because it is very cheap.

When you mix it in water it tastes like baby powder mixed with groundnut oil and sugar.

Peak milk Refill is now ₦4,000, very expensive and it won’t last up to 1 week for my family of 9

My Children love drinking hot tea in the morning. Especially during raining season. I rather give them only plain Lipton and sugar than mix this YO-YO milk for them.

May God help us all

Peak milk may be N4000 but it may not be close to the cost of hospital admission. Is it by force to drink milk?

Nice house!

However everything has a price including stupidity.

You can kick the can down the road by bribing this new group. I am not sure if it will prevent the inevitable.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well especially in Lagos.

It is all about funding.

Akin to that, US should stop funding Israel if they want peace to exist in the Middle East. Netanyahu loves that free money and that's why he won't stop until the funds dry up.
