Wow!

Alhaji Ado Ibrahim, those who knew him as a Prince in the late 70s to early 80s can testify that he was a fiery fellow who at a time was a thorn in the flesh of his elder brother, Kwara State Governor, Adamu Atta.

His becoming a King and advancing age mellowed him.

May his soul rest in peace.

I just hope the "Nigerian Prince of Formula One" doesn't succeed him.

That one na heavy guy man.

What else to do to avoid depression in this BULABAA-ic era?

In this day and age, when all products look the same, who would you say is the original designer?

I won't even trust a life jacket given to me in Nigeria cos everything about this useless country is a scam

Na waa o!

FreeStuffsNG:
Life jackets will keep you for a certain time and if you're experienced on how to stay calm and afloat. When people panick and start pulling on one another in the chaos, they eventually drag themselves to drown even with life jackets

Agreed, but they would've had a chance.

See, even people who can swim like fish are given life jackets on boat rides in saner countries.

Only the Navy doesn't seem to use them, but those ones are trained beyond normal human ability.

GanagiBeetrus:
In recent times, prices of Goods and Services have been going up almost on daily basis, especially after the onset of Tinubu's administration and subsequent removal of Fuel Subsidy.

My phone I bought last July, I was shocked to discover the current price has increased by over 100k, in just a space of 3months.

Mr President has assured Nigerians that things will soon get better.
Even a notable Man of God prophesied that Naira will soon become stronger than Dollar.

Realistically and in all honesty, do you believe that prices of Goods and Services will return back to at least how it was before Tinubu's regime?

Ask Tinubu A.K.A BULABAA

Ororocelemi:
The rate at which mobile phones prices increases in Naija these days is alarming, every minute the price of a phone increases by #1 naira at least.

I remember when Infinix Note 30pro came out in May, it was around #175k but now it is around #300k, Itel S23+ came out in September at #148k and today it is around #189k by December it will surely be #200k if not more.

Any mobile or electronical gadget you think is expensive now, just wait to see the price in the next coming month.

God will see us through in the next 4yrs

Tinubu is just warming up.

Very soon, Shege Pro Max will be the only affordable phone in Nigeria.

Reno is outside Nigeria. He doesn't care what happens. He can open his mouth to any radius and say whatever.

I get that.

What I don't get is people struggling to feed coming here to talk rubbish and insulting people talking about Nigeria's current reality!

People who, if their phone falls or drops in some water, they will be off Nairaland for months, they are coming here to gloat that Obi lost and the author of their current predicament has successfully stolen his way into Aso Rock.

Make una continue.

At least my lot is fair. I thank God I'm not below the poverty line.

Mo dúpẹ́ẹ tèmi.

May God keep providing.

Of course, God's servants don't get tired or retired. However my grouse with him remains, he didn't speak the truth to those evil and corrupt people in government( Buhari and Co). Elijah, Elisha Isaiah Jeremiah didn’t do this see no evil speak no evil of wicked rulers.

Believe it or not, the word to watch for is "SENT".

I won't blame any Pastor if he doesn't do what he's not sent to do.

Elijah, Elisha, all those you called, were sent to do what they did. Glory to God.

Jesus lived in a time Judaea was under the oppression of Pagan Rome, but He didn't lead a rebellion or even speak against any King. Instead, he said "render to Caesar what is Caesar's" meaning the people should pay their taxes. Yet, you can't call Him a failure. He was sent to do a totally different thing.

It's between the Pastors and their God o. Let God judge.

However, if God sent them and they didn't go......e go be for dem.

Tonero5200:
No matter how useless a man is, once he dies the household of the family strength changes. It might not be financially rather emotionally and physically.

Here are my reasons

My dad is a man who drinks alot to the extend we the children are embarrassed for him because we can't go to functions he goes to... because as he goes, he comes back in a different way.

So we do everything possible to avoid where he is at, but on some occasions we cant..depends on how close the celebrant is. Then we bore it in mind that that day we might get to hear something that offends us.. the shame and embarrassment and might retaliate or ignore.


Being one of the senior men alive, they always come to pay homage everytime despite being the way he is..to settle dispute and to also pray for them.. and also tell them about history how we related and mention names of our forefathers, tracing back their Roots step by step..he knows all..because his father also told him. so they respect him for that as an elderly man even though dry gin is his best friend. all they can do was to talk and laugh behind his back. When he's sober they dare not make jest of him.
I repeat they dare not.


But now he's been dead about 4years ago and I tell you we that normally get the first invitation of marriage ceremony or any functions happening in the extended family no longer gets invited.

Nobody has come in to ask hwfar from us the children since he was buried. They see us as not important since the elderly man is no more.

Our family house that used to trooped in by different new faces almost every week don't see it no more


I am not talking about money here, I am good... But even if I don't have...my elder brother who is a graduate the back bone is there...but I am just stating the obvious fact...

THAT everybody has use no matter how useless you perceive them to be and one day you might get to realise that.


The thing is that during those period we don't even take it as anything. Instead we the children gets angry whenever they comes to inform him for a function because we know that week we will not sleep at night...but as it has its advantages so those it has it disadvantages.

Your Dad, God rest his soul, was not fond of ardent spirits all his life.

Those who flocked around him knew him long before you matured enough to form an opinion, and I can assure you that your Dad did them a lot of good turns in the past.

They saw a different part of Papa that you didn't see.

At my Dad's burial, I heard people pay homage, including a former Member of the House of Reps, how he helped them when they were down, how he encouraged them....

My brother, it wasn't until my Dad was gone that I knew he was a bigger, better man than even I thought, and believe me, I held him in high esteem.

To me he was just ''Daddy", but to a lot of people, he was a great man.

accordadoga29:
Hehehe..

richmond500:
The essence of these policies is to kill importation business and make Nigeria a production country.
Your business is not the only business that is dying, many business that depends on dollar has closed down and more will close too.

Time is coming when Naira will hit 5000 to a dollar. When this happens, foreign products will be difficult to purchase and we will have no choice but to buy made in Nigeria goods cos even a pair of foreign pants will be so expensive that only politicians can afford it while the rest of us will wear plantain leaves.

It's so annoying that the average secondary school student knows the dollar to naira exchange rate, that shows how we depend so much on the dollar and killing our own naira.
Until we patronize our own companies, we can't grow the economy, this painful stage is called the transition stage from foreign to local, the govt is not the problem but the time it takes Nigerians to accept the Nigerian goods will determine how long the pain will last.

In the next five years, we will fully accept our own economy and in the next ten years, we will have an economy that will beat France and Germany cos we have the market already.

No business can do without importation.

Even agriculture, are we producing chemicals? Tractors?

Stop the story, abeg.

The Police officers on red berets re presently in Abacha barack guard room receiving senses. The State Govt has abondoned dem😅😅😅

Miracle2020:
The guard commander of that check point should be charged. You allow useless corrupt black and black to come and make decision in your check point? Why did he leave only one soldier in that check point. If I am the guard commander I will close the whole road let me see what they will do.

Hmmmmm......one phone call to the COAS and you will be hung to dry.

You will end up guarding the governor's wife.

He's the same dude, Bro!

He's just a good actor, playing the game (and other players) to get to where he is today.

He played Abiola, played Atiku, played Osinbajo, played Buhari, played all y'all, for fools!

Now he's gotten what he wanted, he can drop the act and show his true self.

Both.

Don't get it twisted.

Wow.....

pansophist:
Every single Nigerian contributed to this. We rather import than manufacture, we prefer foreign products, politicians stash money abroad, we import skilled people to build our infrastructure, we only export oil. Etc.

Nigerians, it's all your fault.

How did the average Nigerian decide not to manufacture?

Did the Nigerian professionals refuse to take jobs offered to them, leading to employment of foreigners?

Do you even know that it's Nigerians who actually do the job the foreigners are hired to do?

How did the average Nigerian decide not to refine oil?

What nonsense are you even saying gaan?

Salewa97:
This one is sad.

President Tinubu should deploy fighter jets to Philippine asap and bombard the city where this atrocity happened.

Eboski:
You have reach here , a
Make una carry am go face COREN before he name himself Engr

Whatever floats your boat.

People who have something to do don't watch BBN.

Last Big Brother I watched was the very first (BBA) and I was unemployed, living with an elder sibling looking for work.

There is DSTV in the house, so.......



Even then, Na only highlights I been dey watch.

As I don dey hustle become pipu Papa, build my own house na in I go dey watch nonsense?

festacman:
An avoidable mistake has been corrected. That young people should be given appointment doesn't mean that common sense should binned.

A chairman of board of government agency must have towering work experience to be able to supervise and superintend over the management led by the CEO and command their respect. However, this may not be applicable to private firms.

Therefore, it is 'madness' for Engr. Imam Kashim Imam a rookie engineer who finished NYSC last year to chairman the board of FERMA and supervise FERMA CEO Dr. Chukwuemeka Agbasi who has PhD in Engineering and over 30 years experience in local and international civil engineering (consulting and contracting) and applied research. It could have been a non-issue if FERMA was Engr. Imam Kashim Imam's family company.

Who even gave him the title "Engr"?

COREN will only allow you by law to take that title after 4 years provable practice, passing a professional exam and facing an interview panel.

Okay.

Good.

BunbleBee:
I currently work in a top firm in the industry as a young graduate and fairly compensated but I seriously do not like the team I'm assigned to. My team members are great but I do not see myself doing what we do in team in many years to come. Additionally, what the team does limits me to this same thing within the industry and the number of opportunities as a whole. The tasks are repetitive and not as technical like I would love. This demotivates me and does not make me actively develop myself in this field. I do not find joy in it. I have tried many times to switch teams but that did not work out for me. I work with members from the team I would like to join and I always wished I was in that team.

I'm determined to change this as early as possible as I believe this is the best time to take risk. I have decided that if I can't switch to my dream team, then I would have to find this dream in another firm (most likely smaller with lesser prestige but with opportunity to learn valuable skills). However, I am confused on if this is a wise decision.

I need your advice on this drastic decision I need to take.

Thank you all

Sorry, eh?
