During my university days, I experienced it quite frequently — especially when I’d break my sleep to study in the early hours of the morning. Every time I went back to bed, it would happen multiple times in one night, that I get really exhausted.
The solution that worked for me was simply rotating my sleeping position: I’d put my head at the foot of the bed and my legs at the pillow end.

magicminister:
I’m so excited Obi will be back on the ballot. I’m promising him every single vote in my family!!!!

Me and my family will be voting for Obi too

The opposition is nothing but a stillbirth

Obi is giving this administration nightmares

ajalawole:
hope you also know crude price not always stable too. So who will take up the lost if crude price crash down. Even if it's stored will still be sold with the correct market price.

I think you agree that price is dependent on demand and supply. The more available your product the lower the price

VanuatuWycombe:
The sector has been deregulated. Government can only store crude, via NNPC. Government can’t store petrol.

As I type, there are petrol stored in tank farms and depots all over Nigeria by private owners.

Oil is sold on FUTURES. So the future price a crude oil will be delivered to you is determined today. Therefore, oil/petroleum marketers sell petrol that they have on hand today, using the contract they signed for future delivery of oil, at a price they agreed today.

Ask people who trade derivatives. They will explain more.

Even if we keep fuel till tomorrow because of shock or short suddenly disruption, the price it will be sold can’t come down UNLESS it is subsidized. Don’t forget we are no longer in subsidy era. That’s why government is not keeping any petrol again.

Sensible countries have strategic reserves of refined petroleum products. The USA have the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) and they have released 172 million barrels two days ago to manage market volatility. You people will shoot down anything because you dislike the messenger not that the message is not right. This is the key problem of Nigeria. That's why we have not got it right in leadership.

EponObi:
This guy will just open mouth anyhow to say rubbish. He never says anything reasonable about our issues. Always vague without substance.

He knows nothing. Nothing about this country. Nothing about geopolitics.

How does a nation prepares for external shock from a war in far away Iran?

The hike in gas and diesel in the US is because of lack of planning too?

This same war is causing the price of urea (fertilizer) to spike all over the world, na lack of planning too?

For someone who advertises himself as a market-to-market businessman, he knows nothing about supply and demand.

LNG spiking over 90% in Europe since the war started, na lack of planning too?

If you ask him how he would have planned if he was president, na rubbish him go talk too.

This dude is nauseating. Tueh!



How can Nigeria insulate herself from global shocks like this when no be say na we dey set price of oil or control price of oil? Maybe we should exit OPEC and start drinking our oil. Mtchew!

What Obi is saying is that we should store petroleum products strategically so during period of scarcity the stored products can be released. This way the price fluctuation can be better managed. I see nothing wrong in that. He is saying the truth. Let us learn to accept the truth because it is constant no matter who is saying it.

Shedrack777:
My problem with this whole thing is at the end of the day when the test is carried out, when the DNA has been carried out, if the son fails to be mobhad's son, nothing will be done to her, she will then move on to continue her life. There should be a criminal penalty for offenses like this

What criminal offence, if any, would she be committing in this situation?
A woman may not always be able to accurately determine — or truthfully state — which of the men she has been sexually intimate with is the biological father of her pregnancy.

So shall it be on election day

So sorry for the president. For those who are jesting, we will all grow old someday.

...for his future political survival and continuity, he will defect to APC. He's a goodman though.

Several years ago, I connected with a young woman in her 20s on Facebook and we decided to hang out. At the time, she was serving her NYSC. During our conversation, she casually mentioned having a headache. I asked whether she had ever had her blood pressure checked. Fortunately, I had a BP monitor at home, so I suggested we take a quick reading—she agreed without hesitation.
The result was alarming: around 160/115 mmHg. I was genuinely shocked. When I asked if she was on any medication for hypertension, she said no—she had never been diagnosed or treated for it.
I explained to her how dangerously high that level was and the serious risks of leaving it uncontrolled, including potential damage to the heart, brain, eyes, and especially the kidneys. I strongly urged her to seek medical help right away. We went to the hospital together that same day, where the doctor confirmed the hypertension and prescribed medication to bring it under control.
Sadly, years later, she developed severe kidney problems that progressed to end-stage renal disease. She eventually underwent a kidney transplant. Despite that, her health continued to decline, and tragically, she passed away in 2024.

QuinQ:
But you were talking of physically alone. See the conversation below

OK no wahala.

QuinQ:
But she's not alone at all

Physically she is not but psychologically she is alone and lonely

Razzness:
I was working in Onistsha from 2022-2024 and within that time even government workers were not free to go to work, schools were closed, banks too, even hospital you could not go, fueling stations, gas stations were were all closed every Monday. If you mistakenly forget to buy some things on Saturday, just forget it till Tuesday before you will get it again. It is just an unreasonable exercise, hurting only people in the state. Moreover, it is not even achieving anything. For how many years now, some people living outside South East don't even know anything called sit at home exist. It will even be better if Igbos all over Nigeria take to the streets and engage in peaceful demonstrations.

Which way to go?

Razzness:
The governor is just been practical. Sitting at home is not helping aanyone, instead it is hurting the economy of the states.

We are leaning towards a police state. Don't forget these are all private business owners.

QuinQ:
She didn't say she's alone. She's married with children. She's LONELY. Know the difference

Loneliness can also come from being alone as the writer also acknowledges.

My prayer is let there not be any incidents. Let peace reign while the citizens should have freedom to own and run their business as they please.

Kalulu44:
Good, then he should have been providing security in the first place to erode that fear in them. And secondly he should leave the business guys and focus on govt institutions. If those private business owners wants to open anytime they like and the govt feel it's affecting their GDP, they the govt should opened it's own type of business and employ people they can tell what to do and not

Thanks very much.

Razzness:
Sit at home is one of the most futile and irrational things I've ever seen. It just doesn't make sense to me, because at the end of the day it is your own people that are loosing, not Yoruba or hausa. Its just like those people in some countries that go on hunger strike, it makes me wonder "is it not your self, you are doing" instead of you to eat food and have strength to protest, you choose to starve yourself. That is exactly what IPOB are doing.

It's a symbolic move to protest against injustice. It also shows that IPOB is not threatening anyone, but people are acting on their own freewill. Shame on the governor.

These are the issues. Thank you, PO, for always bringing them up. People may not know it. You can make all the policies but without responsible, frugal, accountable leaders as the operators the efforts will come to noughts. This is just what we are lacking. PO is bringing it to the table. PO will only spend where it will rock the bottom-line.

Sexyrosey:
The Loneliness No One Talks About

It’s a different kind of pain to feel lonely while lying next to someone who is supposed to love you.
To be married, yet feel emotionally single.
To wake up every day craving affection, attention, and connection… and still go to bed empty.

People think loneliness only comes from being alone.
But sometimes it comes from being with someone who no longer sees you, hears you, or desires you.

I miss being wanted.
I miss being touched with intention, spoken to with softness, loved with effort.
I miss feeling like I matter.

I’m tired of pretending I’m okay.
Tired of acting strong when inside I feel invisible.
Tired of pouring love into a space that feels cold and silent.

This is not about perfection.
It’s about presence.
About romance.
About feeling chosen, not just tolerated.

The hardest part is knowing that I’m still capable of love, passion, and deep connection — but I’m living in a place where none of it is returned.

And that kind of loneliness… hurts more than being alone ever could.

It hurts to be alone

Great news. Better if we see serious push to fight corruption and profligacy. Reduce cost of governance we say.

DomPerignon:
As per Obi's support base being overwhelmingly from his SE, this is a curse rather than a blessing as Obi is now seen more as a tribal candidate than a national one.

This is the irony of the highly paradoxical Giringor political ambition which has seen his own home support as his worst weakness.

When the SW votes overwhelmingly for their son as they did for OBJ in 2003 it is perfectly normal. When the SE vote for Obi then something is wrong it. The SE is expected to be judged by higher moral standards because they are superhumans. The SW can be very stupid but they can be excused in such stupidity.

yarimo:
ALEX OTTI is the worst governor in history of Abia state, everyone in Abia state is tired of his poor leadership in the state

Please face Lagos and let Abians be

Without SE and NW or NE votes, wahala day. Thats why

Matthew2925:
What now the difference between Trump and Putin.
He's forgetting he is the leader of the free world.

or even Hitler

Who knows which park one can go to enter Bonny island bound vehicles from port Harcourt.

DomPerignon:
And the way you are celebrating the bombing as a result of IPOB lobbying is reminiscent to how you all celebrated the bloody ethnic cleansing coup of Jan 15.

Look, I have no problem with sending those terrorists to hell but I know why you are all gloating.

Just know that I will be opening an X account and following all Trump's cabinet secretaries and US congressmen and posting videos of the terrorists in the SE butchering ''Christians'' in the SE.

Fortunately the USA act on established facts not sentiments or bigotry. Their intelligence will always lead them to drop off the missiles where they are best needed. When I say intelligence I mean real one not made up one.

Richtaiwo:
In 1930, some people were covering their unclothedness with banana leaves.

I won't mention, they know themselves.

Recently, I saw a picture of Chief Awolowo among fully unclothed students supposedly from Edo state. Is that what you were referring to. But I also think that walking around scarcely clad is common among all black race of the era.

Thank you PO. May GOD bless you for courage, enlightenment, humility. You are a model Nigerian
