The case is still on.
Is a genocide case, I don't know how far they have gone in the world court.

Well, hopefully, one day, we'll have a government with the courage to carry out a transparent investigation and put Asaba to rest.

I don't celebrate Nigerian military men...

Well, it's hard to celebrate them, given all the bad things they've done.

The number one problem with military rule is the counter coups. Real coups. Fake coups. Killing themselves in the barracks. Sometimes the best officers are rounded up and wasted - because coup.

Those who think coups should be happening in 2026 don't know what they're asking for.

Dennis Rodman's daughter. Fact remains that women's football is not generating the type of audience and revenue men's football is generating. With time as the women's sport gets popular, the revenue will increase and the players' renumeration will improve

This is what people don't understand when they gripe about a lot of things. Like why the winner of Maltina Dance All gets millions while Unilag's best graduating student gets a laptop (or something like that). It's about FUNDS generated.

Krak:
Different people with different ways: some use their pastors, alfas, babalawos or whatever. Just make sure to confirm it BEFORE you pay your rent so that you would know whether to avoid the house, neutralize any negative power found or just pack in if the coast is clear.

I actually learnt this the bitter way last year.

Wow!

LabStores:
Most times, the person that actually built the house is even dead.
The landlady will often be 2nd or 3rd wife who inherited the property. Many times landladies like that are the most evil and wicked. Frustrating tenants is usually their hobby.

Spot on. It was built by her husband who was by now dead.

LabStores:
Most times, the same thing as too

Also look up and update yourself about the spiritual status of the house.

Lol. Any tips on how to investigate this?

Goo0dHardDick:
Before you rent a new place, take time to understand the source of income of the landlord. Many landlords don’t have any active source of income aside from the house you’re about to rent. To survive, they depend entirely on tenants for their livelihood. This often leads to frequent rent increases, unnecessary billings, and constant financial demands that can frustrate your peace of mind.

Choosing a landlord who has other income streams can make a huge difference in your rental experience. A landlord who isn’t desperate for the property’s income is more likely to respect agreements, maintain the property properly, and avoid making tenants the financial pillar of their personal life.

This isn’t just about finding shelter; it’s about securing your peace, stability, and sanity in a place you’ll call home.

The is largely true. I've experienced a landlady whose only income was the house. It wasn't pretty.

Then I had a landlord who had many properties and thriving businesses. Best landlord I ever had.

But I also had a landlord who was very well educated and had a business and was very badly behaved. He and his wife were very churchy and talked a lot about grace, but they had no single grace to give anyone.

Kingzjayzee:
Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has stunned fans by announcing plans to divorce his wife to give himself the freedom to marry multiple women.

Speaking at a watch party for his latest film ‘Aníkúlápó: The Ghoul Awakens’, Afolayan explained that his decision is influenced by his upbringing in a polygamous household.

“I am in and out of court seeking a divorce. I don’t mind the toll. So I can marry many wives now,” he said in a video that has since gone viral.

CREDIT TO HIS FATHER'S LEGACY

Afolayan attributed his personal and professional success to the example set by his late father, who had ten wives.

“Without my father, there wouldn’t be a KAP Village or even Kunle Afolayan. I am the seventh child of my father because he had ten wives,” he said, urging men to consider marrying multiple women.

He added: “For the men, marry many women, or rather be involved with many women. You know why? If my father didn’t, he would not have born me, and that is the honest truth. But today, a few of us are lifting his legacy. Life is short, death is constant. Nobody has life forever. Everybody has a period. Use your period.”

His statements have since sparked heated discussions on social media, with many pointing out the stark contrast to his previous stance on polygamy.

CONTRADICTION TO EARLIER VIEWS

In a 2021 interview, Afolayan had openly rejected polygamy, citing the difficulties he witnessed growing up.

“I would not want to marry many wives because my father had 10 wives, and I knew what happened throughout that period. I knew that really distracted my father,” he said at the time.

He also highlighted the challenges his father faced managing a large family, which included 25 children. Language and cultural differences, he noted, made it difficult for the family to bond fully.

Despite this, Afolayan’s recent statements suggest a shift in perspective, crediting his father’s choices for his own achievements.

People complain about the actions of soldiers everywhere. They're a necessary evil. Sebi9 the president still deployed them, albeit after the killings.

What they do in serious countries is make human rights a part of their training and hold them account when they break the law.

naptu2:
Far from being an outlier, this episode reflects the recurring practice of Nigerian elites leveraging insecurity and humanitarian crises for political and financial gain. Fuelled by decades of misgovernance, unyielding socioeconomic pressures and endemic security sector corruption, Nigeria’s security challenges render Nigerians more vulnerable to coercion and co-optation by the country’s ruling class. Over the last two decades or so, insecurity has considerably weakened alternative power centres, such as opposition parties, civil society groups, traditional leaders, universities, labour unions, trade associations and independent media outlets.

Persistent insecurity has also enriched elites and their expansive patronage networks by justifying ever-larger amounts of opaque military spending. In addition, federal and state leaders still make widespread use of ‘security votes’ – notorious slush funds that date back to the era of military rule. Between 2023 and 2025, Nigeria’s 36 states reportedly steered as much as N525.5 billion (about $1.17 billion in 2023 dollars) into these budgetary black boxes. Ostensibly meant to pay for miscellaneous security measures, state leaders often channel these funds into political activities or embezzle them outright.

This political and financial commoditization of insecurity is evident in Abuja’s decision to not pick a fight with Trump over his simplistic characterization of their country’s security challenges. In doing so, the Nigerian government defused a potential international crisis and nudged the bilateral relationship back into a pattern established back in 2014. That year, 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped in northeastern Nigeria, sparking the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Washington subsequently deprioritized longstanding concerns over democracy, governance, human rights and civilian protection, and ramped up counterterrorism assistance and arms transfers to Nigeria’s military.

That's unfortunate, if true.

helinues:
Most of the subsidy we ha e been paying on services are mostly ghost.

I guess this is you advocating for subsidy removal 2. The famous "Asiwaju tough decision". So that you people can remind us again how a tough decision person the president is.

Anyway, since electricity subsidy does not have the same complexity as petrol subsidy (no middle people and importers and all sorts of APC and PDP politicians to cash in on it), why is it a ghost?

Alusiizizi:
This is information that I got from working farmers. Chickens are the best for pest control, rats, snakes, e.t.c. Supposedly, geese are much less effective.

I don't think so at all. If you have turkeys, they're sensitive to rats and lizards. Sure, they have size advantage and can kill the rodents, but then they may fall ill and die from infection. Chickens and ducks will fare better in that regard, but size does not favour them - and in the animal world, size is everything. You see geese ehn? The combine size with toughness. Very territorial and hate to see any intruders in their domain. A snake shows up, it's dead - unless, of course, the snake is bigger than the goose, then you're on your own.

The farmers you spoke to probably haven't tried geese.

datola:
One day for the thief one day for the owner.

Yes. Every day for thief every day for the owner.

Alusiizizi:
Geese? You're actually better off with chickens.

Chickens? But geese kill and eat snakes like they're snacks. I guess chickens can do that too, but only very tiny ones, as size is everything in the animal kingdom, right?

If Tinubu as the president and petroleum minister is not paying subsidy till tomorrow, then why is he borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol and less unemployment, less insecurity etc

If he is borrowing more than PDP presidents after hitting his higher revenue target in August then what else is he doing with all the money apart from stealing it? Stealing money to buy votes and bribe politicians for 2027 and a 3rd term agenda.

Burrowing doesn't prove that he's paying subsidies. You have all the megaprojects like This Superhighway and That Superhighway to gobble up every dollar they can find. And, like you said, elections are coming up and aren't going to fund themselves.

FarahAideed:
NNPC keeps paying subsidy to importers in a bid to keep them competitive against Dangote ....Tinunbus interests in downstream is the major flaw of his govt , if he didn't have there interest the economy would have been a lot better

NNPC is still paying subsidies to anyone? You have any proof or reason to say this?

adenigga:
He, however, questioned NNPCL’s claim that it spent ₦17.5 trillion between January and December 2025 to secure oil pipelines.

17.5 trillion naira to secure pipelines? Wow! The cashing out continues. I trust NNPC.

BTW, I agree with Mr Shehu that removing subsidies did not really fix the problem since it merely created new problems. When you rob the people to enrich the government, saying you can't can't fight thieves, that is not an achievement.

You didnt even ask if its a standard practice rather you just accept what ever lame explanation a media person without any engineering knowlodge is feeding you. Why is there always light in other countries even if its rains or raining? And there is light sometimes in Nigeria when its raining

It's not a lame explanation. It's where we are. Even as a kid, I knew why power goes when it's raining or about to rain. Of course, we should upgrade. But this is where we are now.

Not terribly sure about a mongoose, but definitely a badger. Honey badgers are actually more intelligent that cats. As for a mongoose, I'm sure that with enough training it will be possible as well.

Interesting. I'm planning to keep some geese in my farm, hoping they'd help with snake visits. I wish I'd find a badger.
