drizslim: Good investment.. People who bought Peugeot 504 in the 80's for around #15,000 vs people who started a business for the same amount are the ones who now are enjoying the fruit of their labour
504 in the eighties was about ₦4850.
Maybe a Mercedes Benz 280 went for up to ₦10,000, but I seriously doubt that.
₦1 back in the eighties is more than ₦1000 now.
Still, a lot of people started businesses back then....a lot of my Dad's friends owned petrol stations, bakeries and stuff. Dad opted to be a farmer.
Well, guess what?
Most businesses set up back then are dead now.....I still pass by some of the carcasses of petrol stations and be like.....wow......Nigeria kills business.
TemplarLandry: Yet another fiasco exposes us to international ridicule. By the way, who goes to a war-ravaged country like Sudan to study? Clearly someone looking for a shortcut to earn a questionable, wonky degree from a mushroom university. I shake my head.
As FG and ASUU padlock Naija Unis dem, wetin pipu go do naa?

Be like say this election really confuse u guy's nd make u guys look clueless....
Bruh, it doesn't matter who said what, right now.
If it's established that BAT indeed had been indicted in a drug-related case and is now president of a country that is known as a way-station or stopover for drug trafficking, hmmm......
Na better hot breakfast den go serve all Nigerians o!
UselessBuharist: One of my parents sold my first house at roofing level, I got wind of it from a friend, I asked and I was further lied to. As if that was not enough dem pressure me to bring money for roofing for house wey dem don sell oo.
I made up my mind that i won’t send #1 for the purpose of that house again and they won’t know anything I do going forward.
2 yrs later I asked my sister to buy another land and start a project, I told her I’ll lodge you in a hotel near the project so that she can finish the project before going back home, I even beg her husband we agree oo she do am to roofing level her husband asked her to come back home. Na so them leave the house, 3 weeks later her husband tell me say dem see one very good land suitable for hostel make I come buy, rush rush I pay oo, they said I should just start the building project immediately, I ask my in-law can you handle it he said yes, na so I begin pump money oo, I give my in-law the job, he gave his friend the job and his friend gave a contractor. Dem chop me nor he small but I didn’t complain because the money dey then and I thought they were using the best materials only to come naija meet 21 cracks for house wey dem complete less than 2 months before I come naija. Before I come I don buy car for my brother in law, when I got to the house I was so disappointed right there I told my sister I will never talk to her again. I went and completed the one she was building before by myself. Long story short I sold the hostel last December the same day I bought another house with money I got from selling the hostel. The hostel was just there, nobody goes there to check, even the agent I gave to help me manage it dey do me anyhow.
Because I nor get anyone else to trust I went to my parents to help me build my living house… this one na another long story.
Me, my sister and her husband are cool now, she is even going to check the house I bought in December on Saturday. She has the documents to all my properties since wife never join but I tell her say if you hear say I close my eyes forever make sure everything goes to my son.
I be senior brother, I carry everything wey happen as part of life, I love my family
There are many young engineers and architects here looking for opportunities to build for people in diaspora.
Get a lawyer, find a young engineer or architect with a registered company, give them a contract with documents SIGNED AND SEALED, complete strangers will deliver your building for you because if they fail, you can have their asses jailed.
SocialJustice: She want use politics spoil her fine face.
Toh.....de matter sef dey one kain....
No be say she no get money, she get, she fit go any country wey she want, I no know wetin be her problem, until Bello off her finally before she go rest.
Pussykills: I have come to the conclusion that I'm addicted to prostitutes. It started in 2010 when I first slept with a hooker. Its 13yrs now and I still patronise prostitutes. I slept with 155 of them, 55 were without protection.
The problem right now is that I don't have that much feelings for the new girl I'm dating. Since she's been in my life I have been able to stop but I noticed my soul still longs to experience that feeling of getting high and banging a hoxx.
In fact, I'm thinking if ending this relationship should be my next line of action.
This is not the first time, my past relationships ended because the feelings weren't there.
What would you suggest? Does sleeping with many partners make one loose the feeling of love? I don't get it, I can't even love, it's not just there.
I don't even know which is worse, the fact that you slept with so many hookers or the fact that you kept tally of them to the point of knowing the exact number you've slept with.
I think you need help for both problems.
The sex with hookers part and the meticulous body count part.
olabrinks: Because he is your friend, you have painted him to be the victim. Are these allegations or did he actually commit all these things listed? What exactly pushed the wife to divorce him and are there any ways they can reconcile, because it’s going to be a very very long battle for him starting afresh.
You don't wanna know what women have done (and are still doing) to men out there.
See Hakimi, how his wife wanted to wipe his hard-earned money. He would have been destroyed after that.
See rape case against CR7, see as Jeff Bezos wife cash out on am big time, look, the legal system is so skewed to favour women that sometimes, proper investigation is not done before the poor goon is hung out to dry.
MY BELLE O, MY HEAD O!!! Do you still remember this Yoruba Actor called JAGUA?
Chief James Afolabi Afolayan MON, MFR popularly known as Jagua was born 4th July 1946 in Iludun-Oro kwara state Nigeria.
He managed on his own to finish secondary education but his journey into entertainment started when he was just 8years old in his paternal hometown Iludun-Oro where he formed the Iludun-Oro Jolly Mambo. It was a singing group.
The young Afolabi then go about adding spice to social gatherings by singing.. Yes he was a singer and a great dancer too.
He did this for some years until he met the doyen of Nigeria theatre, the iconic Hubert Ogunde.
James Afolabi learnt that Chief Ogunde and his group will be performing in Esie so he made plans to be there,saved up some money from selling bush meat so he could make it to the show.
On getting there he was intrigued by Chief Ogunde's musical rendition and decided he was going to move to Lagos to have chief train him in music.
James Afolabi whose family was mainly into buying and selling expressed his desire to go fully into music to his family and they never objected despite the fact that such professions was seen as mainly for the "never do well" in those days.
Few days after a family member brought young Afolabi to Lagos and they headed to Chief Ogunde's office and joined a very long queue of people wanting to join the group.
Eventually it was Afolabi Afolayan's turn to audition and though baba Ogunde thought he was very young, he also saw that he was very determined.He then handed daddy to his first wife saying " Gba omo e ni" ( take him, he is your child)
Afolabi said he never knew baba Ogungbe was also into acting. He said he admired his stage presence.
Afolabi said for him as a young person it was divine whenever baba graced the stage.
Afolabi Afolayan considers Baba Ogunde as a father and his first wife who took him in a mother.
He was with Chief Ogunde and family for 2years (1960-1962).
Afolabi Afolayan also trained under Akinsola Ogungbe before he teamed up with his friend Ishola Ogunsola aka Isho Pepper to form the Afolayan Ogunsola Theatre group in 1964.
Afolabi was the main singer and instrumentalist in the group while Ishola composed more of the stage performances.
The performances was rendered in Yoruba language. Besides other productions, I remember they did "Iyawo alalubosa"together...back then, it was quite popular.
Besides music, 'Folabi( like his friends and family calls him)was known to be the fun guy at every gathering.
He just loves making people laugh and as time goes on he realizes he seem to be more interested in the comedy aspect of acting and went for it.
He met very young Elyzar Taylor a Sierraleonian who was still a student at the time.
It was Elyzar who gave him the stage name Jagua and advised him to act in pidgin English as that will cut across every tribe and make them more widely accessible.
Jagua also called Elyzar Grace on stage. That was how Jagua play Group was born.
They had their first major television show in 1968 with RKTV Kaduna.
Jagua and Grace got married in 1970. Grace was juggling marriage and the group while still in school.
With God by their side and love from friends and fans who we see as family, the Jagua brand became widely accepted.
Jagua comedy was in all the NTA stations, was in almost every Nigerian home.
It is devoid of vulgar languages...you don't have to send your children to bed because you want to watch Jagua...it is actually a family programme and many children look up to it.
Jagua comedy entertained and educated most of us via TV screens and live stage performances.
They were also involved in charity causes.
They entertained the less privileged for free, raised money to champion charitable causes, entertained our troops abroad (ECOMOG).
In the very early years of Nollywood, Jagua and his group made some home videos which was released in VHS cassettes but most of his works are with the NTA.
Jagua was recognised by the Nigerian government for his works hence his national honours.
As a father, he was a great father and friend.
The laughter never stops on stage. He was the best. He died Oct 5th 2000.
23years on, we still hear his signature tune "my belle ooo my head o"
He and Moses Olaiya (Baba Sala) are the fathers of comedy skits in Nigeria.
I always thought his wife (Grace) was an Ibo woman!
Difrent: Seems Hiba wanted to "use" hakimi but the small boy was smart.....pray tell why us it a 19 years Old that a 34 years old rich woman chose to fall in love with? When she could have any equally rich suitor Besides this story put all the blame on Hakimi....dont Hiba have any blame in the whole issue.....will hakimi just wake up one day and take that decision without a reason? What about runours of her infidelity? Which hakimi pretends not to know. Hiba got fooled while she felt she was the one fooling hakimi.
A 31 year old wouldn't settle for a 50 year old cartel boss, mafioso or oligarch but went for a 19 year old footballer?
I'm sure the dude knew something was up immediately she showed interest and took the necessary measures to protect himself from a gold-digging cougar.
saintbillion: Nigerian life coach, Laila St. Daniel-Mathew, has reacted to the reports that Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi, outsmarted his ex-wife, Hiba Abouk, in her move to claim half of his wealth through a divorce The 24-year-old PSG star has become the focus of social media in the past 24 hours after it was revealed that he deposited 80 percent of his salary to his mother, Fatima's account.
Hiba had allegedly dragged him to court earlier this year, seeking an end to their five-year marriage, citing infidelity and other extra-marital reasons.
Taking to her Facebook account, the women's right activist said she finds it disgusting that Hakimi is ‘’being controlled by his mother.''
“I see so many nasty comments, mostly by men, towards Hakimi’s wife asking the courts to grant her half his wealth. For crying out loud SHE IS HIS WIFE AND THEY HAVE TWO SONS?” she wrote.
"She can ask for anything because she is part of him - it is left to the courts to decide. I find it MORE DISGUSTING that his MOTHER CONTROLS him! A grown man? All these men talking - is that what they do? A man tied to his mother’s wrapper? Probably she is the cause of whatever issues has led to this divorce!
Wodu89: Always perform all necessary tests before una build na. How can you buy lands billions per SQ meter and can't or rather refuse to conduct integrity tests at every level of your building.
Do people bother to ask about how integrity tests applies and matters to construction projects especially in high rising buildings at all?
If we say that as a society all buildings from certain heights must have integrity tests at every levels, are these tests not supposed to be scrutinized by the governing authorities from before and during building processes ?
And to think it's Banana island, written about on Wikipedia as the home to Nigeria's brightest minds and the cream of the society, yet in such quintessential issues fail woefully ?
How can Africa be ever redeemed how?
From the pictures, it's clear to see that it's yet again Chinese building technology.
I've always maintained that I don't trust modern Chinese architecture that focuses on material and cost reduction over safety concerns. No be me go stay for those buildings that looks like houses constructed over bamboo sticks
The collapse is appalling!
Look how a multistorey building turned to something resembling a heap of sand!
micellgevity: This Rufai to s something else. What will governors say the fg has done or has not done. This guy just has a journalistic opportunity. Anyway, not everybody on screen is intelligent.
His intelligence will become glaring if your relative is kidnapped and y'all have to sell most of your belongings to raise ₦50 million.
Some even paid ransom and their loved ones got killed.
Yet, the one person going on record on the fact is unintelligent.....continue.
Kabirudeen25: Chai.. they have not finished dealing with uberfacts yet, now this one has come with his own. How many letters will FFK, Onanuga, and keyamumu write at the same time now?? At this rate they might not be able to keep up with all the letters
