As a superstar, just like you need to avoid drugs, you need to avoid women. Just have a wife simple. Living a bachelor's life and having multiple girlfriends is prone to destruction. They see you as a money bag and will do anything to get a largesse from you.

zeuss:
Does the OP prefer that the people remain unarmed and helpless as they are getting wiped off the face of the Earth. The irony of all this is that the people terrorizing Nigerians with kidnapping and death for their gains now were also terrorizing Nigerians 300 year ago with death and kidnapping and slavery during the era of the trans-saharan slave trade. They are devoid of humanity and will continue to pick off others as long as it is profitable. The only way to arrest these evil people is the ability to fight back bestowed with the possession of arms.
In conclusion, If every Nigerian is armed, armed criminality will cease to exist.

If every Nigerian is armed you are in more danger from the wife that suspects you are cheating, your greedy workers, your jealous friend, your drug-addict neighbor or someone who just hate you for no reason. Reasons like this is what Americans kill for. We don't need proliferation of guns in the country. Like OP said, let the government be more proactive against bandits, kidnappers and terrorism so the need for self-defense is less.

What do you think about having house maid to help monitor the kids and home chores?

Are there any experiences you've had?

Preferences; Male, female, young, old, same tribe, different tribe, educate, fairly educated (SSCE), Illiterate,...

Hiring a maid is like gambling on sportybet. It may be good or horrible. Just know that they pretend alot during their earliest time of working with you then later you will see their true colors. Just like it is difficult to control your friends, workers, children, etc. Paying your maid doesn't mean you can 100% control them. I have seen in situations where the maid sleeps on the employers bed an turns on the AC anytime the employer is not around and they were using Band A electricity, wondering why energy costs doubled since she came. That maid will take a big lap of chicken for herself while she serves half of that to the boss.
Employ one but make sure there is someone to stand guarantor for them in case anything goes wrong. And once you notice bad traits, change immediately. Also, don't let them stay more than a year, else they feel very entitled.

No woman can threaten me to do what I dont want to do.
Las las, you say you no go give me knack again, then I find another

TONYE001:
I see where this is coming from.

You're throwing tantrums here and there.

VDM is not a hunter.

We shall revisit this matter when such a clearance is given.

For now, VDM, as an ordinary Nigerian citizen, has done his bit. Hopefully, we all do our parts in the Nigerian project.

I am only talking the way he did because he bragged he was going to do so.
What I appreciate about him so far is thee pressure and awareness. Yes hopefully we can all do our parts positively.

TONYE001:
Oh boy.

Well, he said that if given clearance, he would volunteer to go into the bush WITH security personnel to play whatever supportive role there is to play.

Let us know when such a clearance/approval is given.

Continue to hide behind your phone castigating those that make efforts to make Nigeria better.

Good luck.

Was he given clearance to protest?
Was he given clearance to blackmail people's personalities like he did?
Then he needs no clearance. Let him go with the ratels and kill the bandits in the bush. Hunters are in the bush too without clearance.

TONYE001:
I don't get.

See these analyses.

A doctor provides service to society, saving lives and all that.... doc gets paid in the process, good thing or bad thing?

A policeman puts his life out here for you and I. He shields our lives with his, gets shot on our behalf...but gets paid in the process, good thing or bad thing?

If VDM gets paid by Meta and all that while fighting for the general good of the people, is there anything bad in this? Man has his accounts monetized. We see all he does with his money, we see all the selfless services. What then is wrong in being paid?

Before, you all attacked him for "not leaving his camera. For hiding behind his camera." (Even though it was a lie as he has been out a thousand and one times, visiting crime sites and all).

Now, brotherman returns from China, without resting, hits the streets, acts his talks, and the new attack is that he's getting paid and those protesting with him aren't?

You all are prisoners that will continue to attack your liberators!

Wetin una want sef?

See VDM leaving his comfort zone, fighting for kidnapped children and teachers, una dey una comfort zones dey attack am? Is he the only protester?

Damn.

Now I remember the Israelites when they were being freed from Pharaoh's grasps.

Poor Nigerians

You and the OP's brave hero said him and the ratels will go into the bush and rescue the children and chase the bandits out of the forests.
Please when is the Bravado commander going to actually do this? So far, he is protesting against Bandits and Kidnappers and making noise. He is yet to actually make action. When he does, abeg tag me. And also, please be one of the ragtags that join the bush with Awka-made to chase out bandits.

Haeg:
What didn't I get?

Someone killed your parents, destroyed your home yet you are struggling to go play in their compound

USA doesn't own FIFA or the World Cup. These moves they did will lose them bids to host the world cup in the future. They are not even a football loving country so they don't understand.

Bittersweetnig:
See who dey talk, let them bring back those already with 73 virgins then I will believe you that they can defend themselves, people wey don ghost finish.

Your 73 virgins point is stale and unintelligent. If Islam is all about terrorism, your 3rd world country will be better than the middle East. UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Brunei, Oman, Turkey, Indonesia are predominant Islamic nations who care about their citizens way more than your current country. For your information, I'm a Christian but I am neither religiously biased or low-minded. Even many Americans support Iran against their government, but an unknown Nigerian knows better from his dreams.

Haeg:
Iran nor try at all. Dey killed your supreme leader, killed all your top generals, humiliated and decimated you, yet you still fighting for visa to WC as if your life depends on it, which you will eventually exit in group stage.
Should have boycotted the WC totally

You don't get. Even when politics devides the world, sports should unite it. FIFA is a corrupt organization, else Russia should have been part of this competition.

Bittersweetnig:
IRAN would have been more beautiful than UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qater all together If They invested in good infrastructure but instead they focus on ballistic Bombs that Isreal can easily waste mid air

So Iran has no rights to bombs but Israel and USA deserve the rights to bombs? And to you, every country should bow down to USA to determine it's destiny?
Well, you are neither Iranian not a leader of Iran. Iran will take it's best political stance best suited for them and are ready to defend themselves if need be. And it is their right to do so, whether some unknown Nigerian deems it right or not.

Davido is yet to criticize his uncle.

LeeSmart:
Are you better or more knowledgeable concerning iran economy compared to it cnb governor and commerce minister? The answer is NO.
Talking about raising price of oil, are you aware that it wasn't the US alone that felt the shock? Abi ur hatred for dem made you think they were the only ones affected?

I stopped reading your points at the sentence you emphasized on the bolded. You seem to know me so well to know what I l hate. Well let me tell you what I hate, illogical people who are blinded in their bias. You are avoided.

LeeSmart:
You guys love international politics from an emotional point of view. The Iranians needed this deal more than anything.

Have you read the report of Irans cbn governor and minister of commerce?
Well it's owkay to support ur people due to ur religious attachment with Iran. But you're no better than irans cbn governor.

I am neither a Muslim nor from Northern Nigeria.
CBN and Minister of commerce? These guys fought an 8-year US-sponsored war with Iraq. Are you aware that this war was affecting US relations with other gulf nations as it was becoming a reality that they were not safe from Iran? What about the rising oil prices in the USA?
You're the one being emotional here. The US never negotiated with Iraq, so why was there a negotiation with Iran that they finally had to accede to?
Let's face it, Iran shocked the world in this war. I know you were thinking that by now, Trump would have installed the Son of the Shah by now as the new leader but the reality is what it is.

insidelife22:
Las las na who win and na who lose



Iran 0





USA 90

Lol. You are living in a reversed reality. Do you know the damage that this small war did to US Airbases in the Gulf?
What got destroyed in Iran is way more worth than what US lost. Why do you think the US is forced to negotiate with their sworn enemy. Keep dreaming in your world where Idi Amin is still ruling Uganda

If she's being celibate for religious reasons, then respect that. If that's not the case, then it's fishy.
If at the end you agree, let her know that during marriage you will not be sex-starved ooo.

These days, one has to avoid too much alcoohol intake to live longer in Nigeria.
As for the usual suspects, make una welldone oo

If you get fine jersey like Banana Banana, then commot world cup after 3 matches, wetin you gain?

Charlie boy bus stop was changed to Baddo bus stop.
Your reckoning is coming

So it's when the man is gone, you remembered to tell the world how much you loved him.
When he was alive, we thought you were still a MILF.

It's either he accepts it or tries to contest in 2031 again. Thereby becoming another Atiku

If there were no civilization, it would have been possible.

addictiv:
You want to advise govt. Govt that has people who have worked in security, intelligence, espionage, hostage negotiation , threat detection and assessment for years. Govt that has access to the best brains and resources to find anybody on the planet if they want. Let nobody deceive you, the reason why all this terrorists are running wildly is not because the govt doesn't know what to do, it's because they don't have the political will to do what needs to be done. They know where these kidnnapers are, they know their sponsors, they know how they get supplies, they know their forest routes. They know everything, they have the intel. But acting on it is a totally different matter.

You're so right. They lack the political will to actually end kidnapping

Update after all these years...

I was recently challenged to share a personal story publicly, and as I reflected on my journey, I realised many of the people who witnessed part of that journey were right here on Nairaland.

To my Nairaland family,

Many years ago, some of you met me here when I was building my business one customer at a time.

Many of you trusted me with your driver's licence, vehicle documentation needs and your money.

Some of you became repeat customers, even till date

Some became friends.

Others simply encouraged me when things were tough.

A few years later, I opened another thread about challenges I was facing with my son and some personal struggles at home.

The support, encouragement, advice, prayers, and messages I received from Nairaland during that period are things I will never forget.

Today, I shared a very personal story on Facebook.

A story about the akara-selling years, few years before Patty Services.

A story about raising my children largely on my own.

A story about survival, resilience, heartbreak, growth, and choosing myself and my children.

As I was writing it, I realised that many parts of that journey were lived right here in front of the Nairaland community.

So I thought I should share it with the people who were part of that chapter of my life.

You can read the full story here:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18o144qHn4/

And to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, referred customers to me, prayed for me, or simply followed my journey from afar...

Thank you.

I am still standing because God was faithful and because people showed me kindness when I needed it most.

❤️ Pattybf

A single mum of 2 running a successful business, not relying on men for money. Plus the strength of managing two boys at home. I give it to you, your post on FB is worth sharing. You deserve that and more accolades. The lord is your strength.

MusaChukwudi:
You misquoted me Sir. I meant if those noisy people are banished from Lagos, nothing will happen.

My apologies sir. Don't mind them, always bragging unnecessarily.

MusaChukwudi:
I can guarantee that nothing will happen, absolutely nothing will happen!!

That is what an Igbo Igwe in Lagos said until he found himself in jail and was pleading.

The military is supposed too come in immediately. Every community in Nigeria should consider arming the youths in situation like these.

The only thing these bandits deserve is to be fizzled out of existence.
Anyone that thinks otherwise should have an experience with them.

If you keep playing dominance in another man's land, you will go back to Upper Iweka, banned from coming to Lagos and your property will be owned by one Olateju Abisoye and nothing will happen.

If it was in Nigeria, the "Nigeria happened to her" crew will come and celebrate the news.
