ResidentSnitch:
I think it's well-deserved.
The begging? It was a total embarrassment, and mirrored the suffering and hopelessness of Nigerians under a clueless government.

Hard and bitter truth. I was with a client today to transport his goods interstate, but the begging? From the loaders, to the POS lady, to various characters hanging around for unknown reasons. Everyone was begging.
It was alarming and embarrassing and I was totally fed up. It is almost like this begging thing has become a culture because this has gone beyond poverty

Don't forget to pay una's subscription 🇿🇦

Una no well. 😂😂😂😂

SmartPolician:
There was nothing special about Fashola; he only had like thrice the amount his colleagues (both predecessor and successors) had. A leader who has more money is likely to have more results.

I disagree. Like someone said, there was sanity and more discipline when in Lagos when he was the governor, unlike now when everything is just anyhow

Arostar2023:
I always wondered how this boy became famous. I have never watched any of his streams or whatever, and from what I have read about him, I wonder what I would be looking for in his videos.

We reward mediocrity with fame in this country

PlasmaTV:
The tour presented a very true picture of Lagos.

Fashola was the last governor Lagos had. Sanwo is more interested in optics than he is in governance.

I wouldn't touch Lagos with a 10 foot pole. A glorified slum. It's insane that Makoko and Banana Island coexist in the same Lagos. Unbelievable!

Lest I forget, thuggery and agberoism is the order of the day. An agbero has more rights than an upstanding citizen. That's how insane it has become.

Let Lagos leaders continue hyping detty December instead of making the state a reasonable one. More disgraces to come!

I completely with the bolded. No other Lagos governor has come close to him

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm just... Words cannot describe just how ridiculous that statement is. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The institution has not issued an official statement regarding the matter.

You have got to be kidding me.

Op just dey use AI to write rubbish.

Kobicove:
I refuse to believe that this is true!

The mind boggles

LIRS, not FIRS.

What is really going on in this country??

BlocksNG:
This banny never see anything, Trump never nack you better pink gbola, you dey complain.

What is this na

And then, there is the last option that the OP didn't explore: perhaps, just, perhaps, she has genuinely repented.

Every man's race is an individual one and at the end of the day, when we stand before God to be judged, we shall stand alone. Let everyone let her be and face their own journey.

chatinent:
Even Google doesn't need to employ an Urhobo person for long to learn Urhobo in this age of machine learning. It's just like studying Geography in the age of Google maps. It's as useless as trying to fly.

Now that you mention it like this, no course is useless. Google is a machine and who teaches the machines? The professionals trained in their areas of specialty. So Google maps still needs geographers to continually tweak it. They work in pari passu

chatinent:
They still refused to tell her the truth even on Nairaland that it's a waste of years in this era. That it's your mother tongue doesn't still mean it's still not a waste of time in Nigeria.

Studying local languages in Nigeria is a waste of time.

I have a friend who told me his roommate back in school was studying Urhobo linguistics. Now I really don't know what he is supposed to do with that course.

I wonder if these ladies don't get scared of stabbing their own eyes out with these stilleto nails. I could never... Those things look like they could cause premium damage to soft tissue 🤔

Anyhu, back to the topic. Congratulations Aunty.

Is it that people don't read again? The comments here are genuinely baffling because the story was clearly narrated, but I see people going completely off tangent

That handler is a first class troll 😂

QuinQ:
Listen to this OP.
Real voice of experience

You'll know the experienced ones when they write and give true life scenarios, not those ones who don't know what they are writing about. Their experience is from the School of ''Trust Me, I Know What I'm Saying''

QuinQ:
Exactly. All you keep seeing is to solve loneliness is not from outside but from inside. Hogwash

She sounds like she is reading her own answers out of a book.

pocohantas:
Congrats Tonto.

Now you two can coparent peacefully as you should have these past years. I didn't even know it is 10yrs already!

The biggest winner is the innocent child they share. Now he can have access to his own father

UnknownQueen:
I'm trying to explore but with caution....

Be exploring rubbish. You didn't see something positive to explore. It is sexual depravity that you want to explore.

Doh o.

The one standing and walking around as if he is tending to his cows, bullets no dey penetrate him bodi ni?

but towards the end when a suicide bomber came, our soldiers ran away.

Are they supposed to remain in the range of a suicide bomber?? They are supposed to run or get blown along with the bomber!!

Suicide bomber! Suicide bomber!!!! Gentlemen don't go anywhere!!!

This one gave me goosebumps

Richtaiwo:
I honestly suspect this woman doesn’t actually like her daughter, she just enjoys sabotaging her with premium gadgets. An iPhone 17 as a reward for coming second at age nine? Congratulations in advance on watching that academic performance dive straight to the Mariana Trench.

It’s not even about the cost, buy a spaceship if you like. But handing a distraction factory disguised as a phone to a primary school pupil and calling it motivation is peak parental self-deception. At that age, you’re supposed to reward discipline, not install TikTok, Snapchat, and digital amnesia in a child’s pocket.

Poor parenting 101. I don't understand parents of nowadays

My guts tell me it is content though. I don't trust social media

The ones who cannot even keep ordinary relationships are here giving advice on how to sustain a marriage, making baseless assumptions and infusing their bitterness into their answers. Even the ones who married rubbish and are regretting it also came to drop their "2 cents." By their fruits you shall know them.

Op SexyRosey, pray for the spirit of discernment to be able to separate the chaff from the wheat when the world is giving you their so called advice. It is only those who have walked in your shoes that can truly understand what you are going through.

Wotowotoman:
Chat GPT answer spotted. Na wa

No wonder the answer seems lifeless and contrived. Na robot dey talk. No wonder

What were the contents of the threatening messages?

Airlord2030:
I even got to know the peller on nairaland here

Same here. Everything I know about Peller and Ishowspeed, I know against my will.

mysticwarrior:
you are right, Senegalese marabouts are powerful. during the 2002 world cup in Korea/Japan, one of the Senegalese players told Manuel Petit a French player that the Senegalese team would defeat the French team by a lone goal and that France would never be able to score because their was a powerful Senegalese marabouts who would make sure it happened, and it actually happened. During the quarter final match between Nigeria and Senegal at the 2000 afcon in Lagos, the Senegalese planted a charm close to their goal post and Nigeria was unable to score for about 87 minutes until a Nigerian went their to uproot the charm and Nigeria scored a minutes later.

Hian

So the mystery behind the towel banditry has been revealed. Why am I not surprised 🤣🤣

O for audacity
