GloriousGbola:
you are saying this as a woman who knows the pad she wants to buy

there are at least four different always pads

the other day my daughter was telling me that the pad i buy her sometimes leaks and i ws telling her to confirm for me the exact one i should buy

Lmao 🤣

Now that I have seen the pictures, I can understand your confusion 😂😂😂😂😂

joseph1832:
How many are there? I only know Always and Lady Care. 🤦

😂😂😂

Always is produced by Procter & Gamble and since they left Nigeria, the product has slowly disappeared from the market. Now you can hardly find it on any shelf. The common products are Molped, Softcare, Viva, Gloria, Simple, Ladycare, Princess and so many others I can't even remember because I barely give them a glance.

There three sides to every story. His side, her side and the truth. The truth will eventually prevail (I hope).

GloriousGbola:
this is false equivalence

closest male product to sanitary pads is male diapers

the equivalent is if you as a man are comfortable buying birth control for your woman

the challenge with buying sanitary pads for women is there are so many different ones. you will need clarity on the exact type your woman uses

Once she gives you the name, you shouldn't have a problem buying it.

Omoluabi16:
Na wa. The quality of discourse 🤦

😂😂😂😂

MrUnitedstatesA:
That's exactly the issue. The Nigerian government is useless in curbing insecurity to the point that foreigners need personal bodyguards to walk around us. Not to mention that we are now well known beggars from officials to the common man on the streets. Foreigners complain about our begging culture which scares them away. And why are we even living with Islamic terrorists if not the stupid government that refuses to breakup this contraption ?

Islamic fundamentalism in Nigeria predates this current government. The radicals in the past didn't have as much funding as these current crop of 21st terrorists who are being sponsored by international terrorist organisations like Isis and Al Qeada. This is why dealing with them here has become so much more difficult than 70s and 80s when they began showing their fangs.

I'm not supporting the APC led government who have had a disastrous run in the years they have been ruling, but let us have our facts straight when we are giving our opinions.

Kemetian:
NO.

THIS IS IDOL WORSHIP: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71I-YpnfhwL.jpg

This isn't idol worship. It is ritual sacrifice to the dead. For it to be idol worship, there has to be an effigy representing the deity you are worshipping.

I wonder why everything has to be online. This kind of ritual is very very common place among ATR adherents but I don't see people posting them on social media. Sheesh

MrUnitedstatesA:
The purpose is security. And that's an indication that those foreigners there don't feel safe working I'm Nigeria and indication of their distrust of our security operatives and government. Why don't the ones in Ghana South Africa, Kenya have such fences ?

We are already a disgraced country, why hide it when we voted a drug lord as president?

Do the countries you mentioned have issues with Islamic fundamentalism or the same security challenges we have had both in the past and present? Have they ever had their buildings targeted, and in the case of the UN building in the north, actually blown up?

MrUnitedstatesA:
Yes, visa touts ,beggers and high fences.

Do you know the purpose of the high fences?
There's a difference between visa touts and agberos. Find it out before running down the country. Yes, Nigeria has long running problems, but I will not keep complaining on the pages of foreigners. That's where the disrespect and see finish starts

Karlovych:
Very clean and devoid of miserable agberos and omonile that are looking for the slightest opportunity to scam people like the ones in Lagos, spits.

Are there agebros in the vicinities of the ones in Nigeria?? Shows you've never been near anyone.

Goodmarlian:
It's good she is very tall, at least the kids have hope.
I have a friend like this him and all his family members are very short but he goes after very tall women his current babe is 6feet he wants to marry her because he wants to correct the family genes.

His genes may end up being dominant, and then he will end up having all short children.

joseph1832:
THe very reason, many of them are empty vessels. Isn't it mind boggling the things they know how to do best, always relate to unproductivity?
If I was a broke kid, I'd know not to even think of having unprotected sex, talkless of having any idea of sex at all.

What should be on my mind, is how to make it in life, not have unprotected sex.

They are a product of their environment. Come hopeless, go hopeless.

joseph1832:
WhAt I find astonishing is, how these kids have the mind to have unprotected sex, recklessly.

Stay there. You don't know we are now old school? These kids don sabi pass dia grandpapa.

Play adult games, win adult prices 😂😂😂

FarahAideed:
These people have no shame

Shame? What's that?

In the voice of the immortal Bugs Bunny: "Shame?? 'Never hoid of the woid."

I and my elder sibling pooled funds together and rented Universal Soldier. We watched it till stupor. Our VC player one day ripped the tape to pieces and after that day I avoided passing the route of the rental shop on my way back from school. I have forgotten how it was resolved

See what demonic anger has caused.

Greed and the love for fast money will be the end of these people. They call it "smartness", meanwhile they are just digging pits for themselves. The ultimate outcome of all these scams is sorrow, shame and trouble.

At the end of the day the real winner is that innocent child that was caught in the middle of his parents and their poor choices.

Thank God for the little boy. He looks so happy

Today's frontpage features are full of death, doom and gloom

The parents passed, his elder siblings all died prematurely. He, who also happens to be the only surviving child of his parents died prematurely and his progeny have also died prematurely. That lineage has been cut off. The debt has been fully repaid

This life is deep. You don't have to believe but strange and mysterious things abound whether or not you choose to believe it.

Hian.

My favourite song of his

End of an era.

Sleep well sir.

They are even thanking God for the proceeds of their scam. May anyone involved in ripping people of their money receive a horrible punishment that money cannot solve

Mak Dem go underground den....


All our poles look like fake now small rain concrete poll don break life wire don run fall...

As we still dey backward he beta mak Dem dey off mak life wire no go fall on someone when rain dey fall.

Sad reality. Our infrastructural development is still very poor in Nigeria. Quite shameful

nairalanda1:
Nigerian cities could create large sewage systems where the power lines could run underground to prevent this from happening.

Also, simply run the power lines underground. May cost money, but would prevent this from happening.

This can happen.. in the next generation not ours

WhiteIverson:
How do they then explain the power outage that last for days after the rainfall even when no damage was done by the rain

They want the wire to dry 😌

pocohantas:
I used to be pissed off about it, but now I understand safety first. There are also cases where poles would fall down and electrocute people. It is better to turn it off for a few hours. Everybody go dey alright.

We still have a long way to go in this country.

Someone complained on X that there had been no power in Ikorodu since it rained, and a social media handle called Nigerian National Grid explained the reason why power goes off anytime it rains. At least in Nigeria. I don't know how it is in other countries

THIS IS FOR SAFETY.

When heavy rain is coming, DisCos sometimes switch off supply on purpose. Water and live electricity don’t mix. If rain gets into weak connections, leaking transformers, or exposed wires, it can cause sparks, fires, or even electrocution. It’s usually better to take the power off briefly than risk lives or damage that could keep an area in darkness for days.

Another issue is the network itself. Most power lines in Nigeria are overhead, hanging on poles across streets and neighbourhoods, and a lot of them are old. When it rains, water finds its way into cracked insulators, rusty joints, or damaged cables. Once that happens, the system automatically trips to prevent something bigger, like a transformer blowing or a substation going down.

Rain also comes with wind and lightning. Lightning can send a strong surge into the lines, while wind can bring down branches or make wires clash. When that happens, the system cuts supply to protect itself.

Another reacted: "Some people still sometimes have light even inside heavy rain, so how about that?"

Power isn’t usually switched off everywhere at once when it rains.

The grid is broken into feeders and zones. Some areas are taken off supply because they’re more exposed or already have known faults, while others stay on.

Also, if the rain isn’t causing faults on a particular feeder and there are no risk factors, there may be no reason to shut it down.

Then you dont know who Mandela was. Mandela was an armed militant who led the armed wing of ANC. He even came to Nigeria at one point to solicit arms. He was tagged a terrorist by the South African apartheid government

The point here is that those who hated Mandela tagged him a terrorist and jailed him, but never did his people regard him as a terrorist, they saw him as a freedom fighter

Those who hate Nnamdi Kanu tagged him a terrorist and jailed him, but never did his people regard him as a terrorist, they see him as a freedom fighter

But like Mandela, Nnamdi Kanu shall triumph one day. That same apartheid system of South Africa and Nigeria will not last forever

Kindly seek the opinion of those who lost loved ones and family members to the sit-at-home enforcers. I will also like you to seek the opinion of Dora Akunyili's children who lost their father to these same people in the most gruesome manner.

There's a propaganda war going on. Take what you see with a pinch of salt.

I have seen lots of videos of people moving around, I've also seen videos of empty streets.

People are sharing videos that fit their narrative and what they want to achieve.

Jack is a senior member of the Obidient Movement.

For the IPOB propagandist littered everywhere on Elon Musk Internet, this is Onitsha Main Market (Lagos Line)

I'm happy to tell you that traders are currently in the market and from now onwards, markets will open every Monday in Onitsha and Anambra State in general
