This is very unfortunate

Sad and very very unfortunate!!

This is funny but I'll share this not me oo,my cousin plugged iron when he was about ironing his clothes so instead of ihim to test the hotness on the covered wrapper curiosity pushed him and he placed the hot iron to his stomach....that day was mad ..

He must have danced hot makossa that day!! Oooh! The pain!!

Electricity!! Hmmm...was about 9 or 10 years old, just began to flick Electricity socket switch on and off, on and off...somehow I poked my finger into the socket and the DRRRZZZZZZZZ, I felt was from the top of my head to my soles!! When my eyes focused I found myself standing knock kneed!! I now laugh about it...

While in junior High, one evening I sat on a disused concrete mound that looked exactly like a tomb. It was behind our dormitory about 75feet .
Just sat still for a while and soon enough curiosity took over someone and he called out...I sat very still...soon a crowd gathered and no one was brave enough to come close.
Swinging side to side slowly made the crowd even more agitated
Suddenly someone threw a stone, missing me by few inches, then out of fear I stood up slowly and the now large crowd ran amok! Their curiosity had been satisfied! They had seen a GHOST!! Everyone scattered in different directions! Me, I crashed into the bush and made a roundabout run to the hostel and asked the spectators what was happening!! Everyone was convinced they had seen a ghost!!
Hehehehe...me, I told them I didn't believe in ghosts!!
I've told this story to only VERY few people from that school...I won't mention it, but its in Northern Nigeria...

Madam,you try and may God go bless you bountifully.

Tinubu and his cronies have so much demolished our economy.

Demolished is an understatement...the economy is almost a "pink mist" now if you know what that means!!
Really sad!!

Samantha125:
I feel the same way about male content creators, the day my husband starts joining content creation will be the day our marriage starts being on the brink of collapse.

One thing about being with a content creator is that people will start feeling entitled to be invading your privacy and I don't joke with mine.

If only wives and girlfriends will think like this. What you don't like from your partner, learn to avoid doing it...never justify your acts and feel the acts by your partner isn't justifiable!!

KnowledgePower7:
Imagine she post one throwback photo with caption.
" When I took this picture . 5 guys were disturbing me for hand in marriage"

Or the one she posted supporting frank Edoho ex wife.

Even her own mother came to visit kids and she was complaining of how revealing her outfits she wears to go outside.
She dey dress like hookup girl with cleavage popping out. Instead of her to change
She go online and brought the matter to her fans. I was like WTF??

If her and Oga quarrel, she will come online and start making post that she quarreled with Oga and Oga no gree eat before when comot. Omo if this is Marriage Omo I no do again

One thing is certain, this character will backfire someday soon...it doesn't last too long...by the time she understands her husband's silence over the matter, it will be late...then social media fans will be like burning coal to her!!
We just dey watch!

Badadvisor:
Omo cancer just dey kpai the wrong people anyhow in Nigeria lately while one president with fake non existent credentials is still active

No matter how badly you feel, never wish death to anyone!!
I recall so many who had wished death to PMB many of them went that way before him!!

My Village people have a unique method they used in Fishing. The method is simple but effective.

Simple but effective, alright, but how about protection from organisms that may take advantage of your privates occasionally dipping into the water and silently creeping in and lodging there?? Have you really thought about that? The kinda water you're threading in looks like its an habitat for such. Please be careful.

Common occurrence in Eastern Nigeria where palaces of chiefs are used to scam people.
Suddenly you hear a market is to be built and the chief is looking for a contractor. Someone who knows you tells you about the "job" and offer to introduce you. You come, they tell you tradition demands certain provisions and money for the elders, the youth groups and so on, before you're given the job which drawings are already prepared.
You provide all that, next you're told the government officials will soon take you to site, they arrive, they tell you to also give them something so they can accelerate matters as its very urgent. You provide, next you're shown the "site" and told your documents are now going to be signed soon, be patient.
Next chief is all over you persuading you by subtly coaxing you to send one money or the other as one officer or the other is blocking the speedy signing of your documents....you'll be lucky to code at this point...if you're the greedy one, maybe months later after many more payments then you will realise its always a scam...
The "Royals" are the ones usually at the head of this syndicate...because of their positions you'll never suspect...

brain54:
Colonial mentality and low self esteem...


He doesn't even believe the country has what it takes to manage it's own power. He rather wants to push a sensitive and important infrastructure as power in the hands of foreigners.


And these are the people we have in government o.


Oga senator Goje electricity is not rocket science. What it takes is planning and willpower.


So many things are fundamentally wrong with these people chosen to participate and represent in government. No nation can ever grow when it has leaders with such mindset!

Like you said, it takes planning and will power...then there's DISCIPLINE...
these are the ingredients, yet we're grossly lacking them.

Angelfrost:
Okay... What happened to CONTRACEPTION, ma?!!

Last I checked, it's actually free of charge in all government and some private hospitals.

If she was on a good contraceptive, there would have been no need risking her life and insulting the man by going for Abortion.

Additionally, why remain in the marriage to the point of conceiving?!!


Smh... Some of you Nigerians reason strangely.

Probably catholic, they're against contraception but involved in abortion ...strange.

Pray before you eat. Be thankful after you eat.

Home food is better than outside food.

Do not eat food from strangers.

Food ate together is sweeter.

Don't leave your food open.

Never leave your food unattended.

Don't cough, sneeze or talk over food while cooking or eating.

Don't talk while eating.

Have water beside you for safety.

Always wash your hand before eating.

Wash the plates and clean the sink before the next person.

Always wash the plates before serving. Rats, cockroaches or anything could have touched it.

Don't use the same plate/utensils for the house for guests.

Eat meat/chicken/turkey/fish last.

Never serve food behind guests. Always do it in front of them or let them serve themselves.

Do not hold the cup for drinking from the top where the mouth will touch.

Eat the same food with your guests.

Only serve what you can finish. Never waste food. No matter how oyinbo wan teach us say na dining etiquette to leave some food behind after a meal, my can cannot. I would rather take what I can finish than leave some behind as signature leftover. I love my Africans for this.

As a man, don't serve the food without the woman's permission. That kitchen is her territory, don't just go dip your hand in the pot and serve yourself like that. Women are sensitive to those things.

When I saw how they wash plates at Buka, I almost vomited because they manage water and soap to your own detriment

Short story, one day one man came to our house and was served with glass cup of water. We washed that cup more than 4x. It was that day I knew that if you wash glass cup clean, water will drain smooth. If it is not clean, you will see pothole on the cup

Wow!! Almost a complete bible of rules!!

Security has updated to use of sophisticated system and gadgets but not in Nigeria. How can a Security organisation be overwhelmed by a group that's largely uneducated? I just fold my arms in despair...such an area should have monitors as perimeter to be able to see or detect movement from at least 1km. This would have prepared the unit to repel the insurgents...
Alas, this is not the case, they were ambushed ...

Why morticians in Africa behave like crazy people beats me the ones in developed countries don't act that way o.

solreb:
Situations happen in life that enable one to look back and thank God and thereby able to forgive the wrongs anyone has done you in the past. My case was like yours. We later reconnected after several years. She told me about her financial state and I even helped her husband secure a job and helped her and the husband financially. She never told the husband we dated. So, it is OK if you could help with no strings attached. You would have to watch it though as she may want yo pay back in kind. Keep your distance.

Can a man carry coal in his bosom and not be burned?
Your case was clear and open, OP's may fall short cos already he started by telling us how much he loved her! Very easy for her to trip him again!!

Abeg, don'tlook at the short term effect that helpingher will give her relief from financial burdens, look at the long term resultsthat will mean she will be all over you in "appreciation" which will eventuallylead to.........
Learn from other people's mistakes

Toolegit123:
Good day my Nairaland fam.

Please,matured minds in the house,is it a good thing for a man to help his ex girlfriend who's now married, financially. She used to be someone whom I loved so dearly in the past but unfortunately,she broke up with me immediately she met someone who was already asking her hand in marriage. It's been over 3 years since she got married and I made sure I cut every bit of communication between us. Out of the blue,I don't know who gave her my number. She called me,and apologized for what she did to me. Even before she could ask for my help,I already knew her husband wasn't financially buoyant like I thought. She said she wants to open a provision store ,cuz immediately after they got married,they relocated to Lagos. And she asked for my assistance.

So,I don't know if it's appropriate at all to help her, considering how she left me emotionally stranded when I needed her the most in my life. Tho I've completely moved on with my life,but receiving a call from her brought back a whole lot of memories.

Please,my fellow Nairalanders, reason with me. Should I help her out?

After a quarter-century of hurt, heartbreak, and hard grinding through the lower leagues, Coventry City are finally going back to the Premier League.

Frank Lampard's side have ended one of English football's longest top-flight absences, booking their place among the elite for the first time since their relegation in 2001. For a fanbase that has endured financial chaos, ground disputes, penalty shootout agony, and four divisions of English football, this moment is nothing short of historic.

From the Summit to the Basement and Back
Coventry City spent 34 consecutive seasons in England's top division between 1967 and 2001, and were founding members of the Premier League when it launched in 1992. (Wikipedia) But when the curtain fell in May 2001, few could have imagined just how far the club would fall or how long the road back would be.

The years that followed were dark ones. By 2017, the club had sunk all the way to League Two, plunging into the fourth tier of English football for the first time since 1959. (Sky Sports) To make matters worse, they were left without a proper home ground for years, forced to groundshare far from their own supporters. The Sky Blue Army, loyal as ever, turned up anyway.

It was manager Mark Robins who began the slow rebuild, guiding Coventry out of League Two at the first attempt through the play-offs in 2018, and then delivering the League One title in 2020 to restore Championship football to the city.

Heartbreak Before the Breakthrough

Promotion to the Premier League came agonisingly close twice. In 2023, Coventry reached the Championship play-off final at Wembley but lost to Luton Town on penalties. The following season, they mounted a stunning FA Cup semi-final comeback against Manchester United, recovering from 3-0 down only to fall on spot-kicks again.

Fool me once. Fool me twice. There would be no third time.

Lampard Delivers

Following a difficult run of results in 2024, Coventry parted ways with Robins and handed the reins to Frank Lampard.The former Chelsea and England midfielder transformed the club into an attacking machine. Players like Victor Torp, Ellis Simms, Haji Wright, and Brandon Thomas-Asante tore through Championship defences all season, making Coventry the top scorers in the division.

USMNT striker Haji Wright was particularly influential throughout the campaign terrorising backlines and firing the Sky Blues clear at the top of the table.

How It Was Confirmed

The title of Championship champions may still be up for grabs, but the promotion itself is settled. Coventry sit on 85 points with a goal difference of +42, a margin so vast over their nearest rivals Middlesbrough and Millwall that no realistic set of results can dislodge them from the top two.

After 34 years in the top flight the first time around, the Sky Blues finally have their moment. (Sky Sports) The CBS Arena will welcome Premier League football next season. The big clubs are coming to Coventry.

A New Era Begins

Off the pitch, the foundations are finally solid. Local businessman and lifelong Coventry fan Doug King took over the club in 2023, ending years of unpopular ownership, and the club eventually secured full ownership of the CBS Arena in August 2025. Stability in the boardroom. Progress on the pitch.

For a club that has known so much uncertainty, this is a new chapter and for the thousands of Sky Blue supporters who never stopped believing through League Two groundshares, Wembley heartbreaks, and everything in between, it is a moment that will live forever.
Coventry City are back. And this time, they mean to stay.

Wow! Welcome back!!!

You are not ready for marriage Aunty. Very soon you will no longer be comfortable in that your father's house.

Even before she becomes uncomfortable he will definitely walk the street of many "rods" just trying to find rhythm for relationship!
We know their crew!

Have a great day...stay blessed

The Ring Didn’t Kill the Desire,Your Habits Did.

Yes, a lot comes into sustainable married life.
And there's the aspect of how both couples look at each other. Respect, Response, Reciprocal Resistance to negative emotions are key to keeping the spark...unfortunately habits and character changes fueled by too much expectations are triggers to killing marriages

I have 4 girlfriends that I have come to realise they're wife materials and I want to propose to all of them and will first discuss the idea of polygamy with them.
I hope they accept it.

Before you propose to them, dig 4 graves, that's where you're going to bury your happiness!!

Very very scary stats that year where they would announce total Infected patients, death tolls, recovery of each state in Nigeria and other countries...

Very scary...I remember following on BBC every evening, the death rate in France 🇫🇷 and Italy 🇮🇹 was terrifying! 700-900 people daily!!
It was like a holocaust!!

Ask him if the arabs in north Africa are the real peopleof that region. Then follow up by asking what happened to the true inhabitants of that area.

mikeapollo:
This is the lie that you people tell when you have no other thing to say! Very shameful!

Go and bring the real Israelis then, or you go to Israel and tell the people who amongst them is not real israeli
Since it is now your business to sit in your country and decide who is real or not real in another tribe that does not concern you.

11doubledee:
What year in history are you talking about?
The greed of ISLAM is the root cause of the problem, gradually exterminating minority faiths and religions in the middle east all in the name of jihad.
Judaism and Christianity has been existing in the middle east long before Mohammed was born.
Suddenly in the 21st century they are all Islamic Republics.
Same format Islamic fanatics are using in Northern Nigeria today later in future they will also be called land grabbers if and when they try to reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

Thanks for this!! Even the Koran never mentioned Palestine but has BANI ISRAEL several times over...

How shocking to read comments from Nigerians who have never been to Israel or even "Palestine" yet have swallowed proper pro Palestine lies!
History tells the truth, not ideology.
Those who say Iran is a known devil and Israel is unknown angel, i laugh at them...
Your country is currently overrun by the lovely known devils as proxies from "you know where" and here you are like chickens advocating for KFC.
Enjoy your ignorance ooooh!
