Are we sure this Trump goes school at all ? His decisions are awkward and they are rewinding US backward. If Nursing is not professional, then ethics are not bound to be adhered to. This will leads to loss of lives of the patients. Quacks will increase too.

ChatGPT or any other AI can confidently say the wrong thing in convincing manner. Ensure you have some knowledge of what you want the machines to dig out so that when it returns too-good-to-be-true reply, you can query it.

For instance, I attached my chat with ChatGPT yesterday about using Google Antigravity to code. It replied me that it is not possible. I queried it to recheck and it returned that it is actually possible. If I had not read the update somewhere else that developers can now use Google Antigravity as an Editor, ChatGPT would have whitewashed me.

AI is a knowledge support system, not the real knowledge.

I hope you saw this caveat on ChatGPT. Ask Nigerian Lawyers instead of ChatGPT

We’ve seen this play out too many times. Once politicians suddenly become “activists” or brand themselves as the “voice of the oppressed” or “voice of truth,” it’s rarely about the people. It’s about their own narrow interests. The fuel subsidy protests driven by the opposition and the Bring Back Our Girls campaign are still clear in our minds. Who truly gained from those movements? Certainly not the masses. It was the politicians who leveraged the public’s emotions to win sympathy, position themselves favourably, and eventually seize power.

And what has that power delivered? More poverty, more insecurity, and deeper oppression.

Amaechi should not attempt to use the same format in 2025 because e don cast.

If Regina Daniels fart now, it will make the front page.

It reminds me of Tonto Dike days here.

Nairaland makes me know both of them. They sniffed them on our throat.

Where is the Tonto Dike today ? I see history in Regina Daniels in the decade ahead.

Honestly, you’re right. You nailed it.

Let me share my experience. My wife has no idea when I get promoted or when my salary increases anymore. As far as she’s concerned, I’ve been earning the same amount since 2021.

I got a promotion in 2021 and out of excitement, I showed her the offer letter. She saw my earnings, and boom, her demands shot up. She wanted everything spent on food, clothes, outings and enjoyment, even though we were still living in a rented apartment.

Since then, I’ve kept things steady. I give her the same 80% of the salary she believes I earn. Yet she still expects the remaining 20% to cover school fees, car maintenance and the completion of our housing project.

Sometimes she even criticizes my office, saying they are stingy and insensitive to the current economy. I usually join her in blaming the innocent company and pretend I’m searching for a better job. Meanwhile, in my mind, I just do ‘yinmu’ and keep quiet.

The secrecy gave me the avenue to make us landlords, own two cars, send our children to choice schools, and build investments to fall back on at retirement. I shouldn’t lose my job today and be broke the next day. A man has to save in the rainy season.

sammiewrite:
If my dad did this, not one of his kids will be a graduate today! I recall growing up, how my mum is always frustrated, always complaining that she doesn't know anything about my dad. Foolish us then too will join her to berate my dad. It is not until we came of age that we knew the huge favour our dad did for us.

What I have come to understand about the majority of women is that, their understanding of money ends at "spending." Not savings. Not investment. Not wealth creation. Reason there is ever any major brand started by a woman that has lasted several generations a la Coca-Cola or Guinness. And it is funny, because what they spent the money on are useless things like shoes, bags, hairs, clothes, vacations, parties, liposuction, sowing of seed/first fruits, etc.

If you as a man follow this kind of advice and open up your finances to an average woman, the demand will only increase, and you'd have murdered peace if you don't fulfill just one of those demands.

Even ChatGPT was affected

Real Odogwu does not care about this kind of war even when they see it. Because they are always the winner. The write up may be for Simps who want to upgrade.

On 25 January 1988, MKO Abiola’s son, Deji, had a minor traffic issue with a low ranking Air Force officer and fled the scene. The officer then traced him to Abiola’s residence and called in reinforcements. What followed was an outrageous show of force. Shots were even fired, with one reportedly missing Abiola by inches.

Abiola took the matter to the then Air Vice Marshal Nura Imam. The AVM casually waved it aside and went as far as describing the Air Force men involved as mad dogs. No punitive measures were taken against the Officers.

Where is this report ? This sound like hired propagandist doing his job

Oyinbo version of Reno Omokri

So, Trump was only seeking for Tinubu's attention. Using show of force to get attention is a low level inferiority complex.

Trump was shocked that an African country could openly snub him. He tried quiet economic and diplomatic moves to assert his presence, but Tinubu did not respond. Nigeria’s BRICS membership, refusal to accept U.S. deportees, de-dollarization of crude sales for the Dangote refinery, selling airline tickets in naira, and closer ties with France and China without reckoning to America all blocked his leverage.

Frustrated and desperate for attention, he resorted to his dramatic outburst. Clearly, Trump is struggling with an inferiority complex.

Tinubu should keep standing firm. We are Nigerians. We cannot be intimidated or gaslighted. The era of domination by any nation is over. We are entering a new era of collaboration, networking, and mutual respect.

Trump is a typical "power miss road". Or "American Wike"

You Can’t Be a Saviour with Blood on Your Hands

The United States under Donald Trump’s renewed leadership presents itself as a defender of freedom and faith, yet its actions toward Nigeria tell a different story. In 2025, Washington suspended key health interventions including USAID and PEPFAR programmes that supported HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis care, leaving thousands of Nigerian health workers unpaid and millions vulnerable.

At the same time, Trump threatened Nigeria over alleged religious persecution while ignoring the humanitarian fallout of his own policies. A nation cannot cut off medicine and still claim to protect lives. Such contradictions expose the deeper motive, not compassion but control.

Nigeria’s recent economic moves reveal why Washington is uneasy. Selling crude oil to Dangote Refinery in naira, enforcing ticket sales in local currency, and expanding its currency swap deal with China mark a clear shift away from dollar dependency. Combined with its growing ties to BRICS, Nigeria is asserting economic sovereignty and that challenges United States dominance more than any sermon on democracy ever could.

Still, Nigeria’s response has been measured and resilient. Rather than capitulate, it funded its own health programmes and diversified trade partnerships. This quiet defiance shows a nation learning to stand on its own terms.

Real leadership is not about threats or sanctions. It is about empathy, fairness, and consistency. You cannot be a saviour with blood on your hands, and those who choose self-reliance over submission are not rebels; they are free.

Got forbids I grow up.

If accepting a product of paternity fraud is what it means to grow up, I will never grow up.

The acceptance means forgiveness to the mother. Forgiveness is the beginning of the foundation of the man's grave.

Once again, I won't grow up.

The format can only work on simp, not real nigga

One Ibadan babe wanted to use on me last year, i just laugh.

She love bomb me for one week straight, visited the weekend and we knack. I promised to credit her before getting home. Shi shi I no send. By the next day i dropped my own format how EFCC raided our house. She kept off. After some months, she repeated the format, i still chop her free. She has not contacted me this year.

I give when i want to. Droping lamba to get money from me is a turn off. I can smell it even from afar.

How am I so sure it is not the same Chatgpt or other AI is what you will use?

I can tell AI especially Chatgpt to be sarcastic, emotional or mean and it will do it perfectly.

Sell your market instead of condemning an innovation that has come to stay.

I could have patronize you if advertise your services solely without mentioning or condemning Chatgpt in your write up.

Face your business and leave AI alone. They are not your rival but work tools to make your job faster and closer to perfection, if not perfect.

Issuing such a statement after a truck claimed the lives of over twenty people in the community amounts to medicine after death. Was the Alale unaware when these trucks resumed operations on a road that had been barricaded? Why were preventive measures not taken then? Why was this kind of statement not made at that critical moment? At the very least, Oba Oseni should have expressed sympathy with the bereaved families instead of releasing this insensitive statement at the critical time of mourning in Akungba Akoko.

“I don’t listen to rap – that sh*t is boring to me, it’s dead now, it’s tired. These guys do the same sh*t, rap on the same beats, same flows.”- Wizkid ( December, 2022)

Amazingly, the child picks the same genre his father had described as "boring" and "dead"

Nonexisting1:
A son raised outside his real family land and his ancestors can not have peace and will not give peace to people around him because his spririt is restless. It's just like an ohu. This is why black Americans and black Europeans will continue to commit crimes and cause troubles because they are not where they belong. A man should be raised by his real father. Many families that have disputes today, go and check who started the trouble there. It is either an adopted son or a son with foreign blood. Doing dna tests especially on your sons is like doing yourself and the entire community a whole good. Do it immediately after birth before building emotional attachment with the child which will make it harder on you.

I’m not sure your analogy applies universally or aligns with every tradition. I know of a man in our community whose paternity later came under question because of his striking resemblance to a Catholic reverend father. When the priest passed away in 2017, his family raised the issue, leading to a DNA test. The result confirmed that he was not biologically related to the man he had always known as his father but showed a 99% match with the late priest’s younger brother.

In other words, he turned out to be illegitimate. Yet, interestingly, he is the most successful among the three children born to his supposed father. He studied in Germany on scholarship, completed his Master’s and Ph.D. in the United States—also on scholarship—and is now based in America. For the first time in their lives, his parents boarded a plane and travelled to the U.S. last month, courtesy of his success.

This gave me goosebumps.

I wish my father could do this for me.

I will definitely emulate this and do it for my children.

Tiwa needs a companion and gist partner. It is obvious that she is lonely with her recent shalaye

A paper tiger is someone that appears threatening or powerful but is actually weak, hollow, or ineffective when tested. This is what Wike actually is, but deliberately use show of force to maintain influence. His threat fizzle out when tested against legal, diplomatic, or political resistance.

Lere Olayinka is a sycophant who rely on crumbs from Wike's table for survival.

I blame those who allowed any union to use them to test the microphone. Jobs are not easy to get in Nigeria now. Guard the one you were able to secure till you get another.

I remember who MTN Call Centre in Jos shutdown its operations in 2011 because the NLC insisted that the staff must be unionized. Over 4,000 people lost their jobs and I know of some of them who had not secured any job since then but forced themselves into hustlers. NLC was nowhere to be found when they were laid off.

I also remember in 2000 when they picket GIG Logistics Head Office at Gbagada that the staff must be unionized. Those staff that were supporting them lost their jobs instantly and NLC was nowhere to found to fight for them.

Unionism in Nigeria is synonymous to politics. Don't allow them to use you their power tussles. You have family to feed.

This goes to show that there is no utopian system anywhere in the world. Calamity can happen anywhere in the world even in the so-called saner climes.

RIP to the dead. May God console their loved ones

The earlier Obasanjo stop to shalaye about this 3rd term issue, the better for him and little honour left for him.

Happy birthday Sir. Your song " Ekilo Fomo Ode" shaped how I handled disrespect especially from junior ones.

With due respect, Chief Obasanjo, the facts of history contradict your claim. The third term project was not a rumour — it was a real constitutional amendment pushed in 2005–2006, with your closest allies in PDP lobbying hard for it and lawmakers openly alleging huge financial inducements. Governors like Peter Odili and James Ibori were mobilized in support, while others like Rashidi Ladoja and Ayo Fayose resisted and paid political prices. Even your Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said you personally raised the matter with him.

It was, in truth, the hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob. You might not have directly come out to say you wanted third term, but proxies were clearly commissioned for the execution. Where did the huge sums allegedly offered to lawmakers as bribes come from? Were those the personal fortunes of your allies, or funds diverted from the national purse? Such staggering inducements could hardly have been raised outside the resources of the state itself.

If it were true that you “could have gotten it,” then Nigerians would not have witnessed the fierce lobbying, the bribery scandals, and the eventual dramatic defeat in the Senate on May 16, 2006. What stopped it was not lack of power on your part, but the collective resistance of Nigerians who refused to let the constitution be bent. The record is clear: the third term bid was real, and it failed — not because you didn’t want it, but because the people rejected it.

Stop to shalaye this issue at every available opportunity, it won't change or correct anything. Infact, your attempt to shalaye will continue to reduce the little respect you got. And understand that you won't have gotten any respect out of office if your successors have attempted to build their names in gold. You would have been long forgottten. So, stop feeling funky.

The best advice is for Sowore to shift from derogatory words to evidence-based, sharp, and witty criticism. He can still be fearless, still mobilize anger, but in a way that strengthens his credibility and reduces legal traps.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political career reveals a consistent pattern of double standards, where he often opposed economic policies as an opposition figure only to adopt the same measures once in power.

Tinubu opposed Obasanjo’s fuel tax as well as price hikes in the early 2000s, yet reintroduced fuel-related levies in 2023.

He challenged Obasanjo’s VAT regime along with federal revenue control, but now promotes VAT harmonisation together with stronger federal tax authority.

He condemned Jonathan’s fuel subsidy removal in 2012 while mocking the SURE-P palliative schemes, yet removed the subsidy while rolling out cash transfers in 2023.

He supported Buhari’s refusal to devalue the naira in addition to warning against VAT increases in 2021 (“let the poor breathe”), yet unified exchange rates while expanding taxation as president.

Policies he once criticized as IMF/World Bank prescriptions — including subsidy removal, devaluation, privatisation, as well as tax reforms — are now central to his administration.

Even his warnings against excessive borrowing have been reversed, given that his government has taken new loans to fund reforms.

If Tinubu claims that the policies he once antagonized but now embraces will move Nigeria forward, it implies that for all these years he may have been among those dragging the country backward through blind or politically motivated opposition rather than principled critique.

Whenever I hear Natasha Akpoti, one of my psychology courses where I was thought about narcissistic behavior always come to mind. She exhibit almost all traits of female narcissist.

Below is a note taking from one the classes while i was in the university
Female narcissists share the same core traits as male narcissists but often display them differently. They place heavy emphasis on appearance and charm, using beauty or sexuality to attract attention and dominate rivals. They thrive on praise, often creating drama or playing the victim to remain the center of focus. Manipulation is common, whether through guilt, emotional blackmail, or subtle control. In relationships, they lack empathy and see others as tools to boost their self-image. Socially, they present themselves as charming yet secretly belittle others. When criticized, they quickly retreat into victimhood, using fragility as a shield. In short, female narcissists rely less on aggression and more on appearance, manipulation, and emotional tactics to gain admiration and superiority.

Natasha Akpoti has exhibited all these traits hence why I am not move by any of her tactics. I pity her supporters especially her husband.

Nigeria is gone.

Indeed, there was a country- Chinua Achebe
