"Perceived lack of intelligence" We are so uncultured in this country I simply shared my personal experience. Only uneducated people turn a healthy conversation into personal attacks instead of discussing the actual point

" Hapta Buhari is Fita Obi" we heard this in 2023.

They don't respect you and playing on your perceived lack of intelligence.

When the Time comes, they will remind him that he's a Christian and 1967. grin

Peter Obi has a chance with SW who are by far more liberal. They were his biggest supporters after his own people

I have been interviewing many aboki whenever I take bike... I would ask, who do you plan to vote for in the coming election?

They all happily said Obi ... I'm not into politics; this is not a campaign for any party, it's just my personal research lately.

I'm not even a fan of Obi, but apparently if Tinubu win's this election, it is 100 percent rigging.
RomanceRe: Can You Allow Your Wife/Gf To Do Tattoo In Sensitive Part of Her Body?(pictures) by koladata(m): 12:45pm On May 07
Most American's and other western culture do not see tattoo as a bad thing. It is only in Nigeria that tattoo symbolizes hookup.

Meanwhile, a few decades ago, tattoo was part of African culture, it only faded in these our generation because my mom has a tattoo and she married my father as a virgin and she had the tattoo before she got married, she doesn't even know it's called tattoo.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Vacancy : Digital Marketer by koladata(op): 12:26pm On May 07
Thanks for your observation. We intentionally kept the requirements minimal because the role is entry-level and successful applicants will receive training while learning on the job. We already have a senior digital marketer who will guide and support the selected candidate.

Thanks once again.

michaelodafe:
For roles like this, applicants should show two things clearly: content ability and commercial sense.

A better application will mention:
- campaigns or pages managed
- leads, reach, clicks, or sales influenced
- Canva samples or portfolio links
- willingness to handle both online marketing and field follow-up

Digital marketing CVs fail when they sound pretty but prove nothing. Show numbers if you have them.

I know we have retarded men in Nigeria, but 10 different men every day, I don't think we have that number. Most men usually engage sex workers to know why they chose that part before or after sleeping with them.

Car TalkRe: I Never Knew Owning A Car In Nigeria Was This Expensive Until I Calculated Every by koladata(m): 1:05pm On May 06
To be honest, except you are doing transportation business, owning a car in Nigeria is a dumb idea. There are times i spend over 1million in a month. Though i drive a Mecedes but i'm selling that shit off soon , its only good for yahoo boys
ridevendor:
Honestly…

I used to think people were exaggerating when they complained about maintaining a car in Nigeria.

Until I sat down one day and calculated everything properly.

And I won’t lie… I was shocked.

Let’s Break It Down

This is just an average car owner trying to maintain a decent vehicle.

Not even luxury.

Fuel

Depending on movement:
₦10,000 – ₦30,000+ weekly

And if you move around a lot?
Even worse.

Maintenance

This one humbles people fast.

* Oil servicing
* Brake pads
* Suspension
* Tyres
* Battery

One small issue can suddenly become:

> ₦80k
> ₦150k
> ₦300k

Just like that.

Nigerian Roads

This one deserves its own section honestly.

Bad roads damage:

* Tyres
* Shock absorbers
* Alignment
* Underbody

Sometimes it feels like the road is fighting the car personally 😅

Other Hidden Costs

People forget:

* Car wash
* Parking
* Insurance
* Documents
* Traffic stress
* Unexpected repairs

Everything adds up quickly.

WHAT SURPRISED ME MOST

I finally understood why many people now:

* Use Bolt more
* Rent cars occasionally instead
* Or delay buying another vehicle entirely

Because owning a car in Nigeria today is almost like managing another responsibility on its own.

THEN I UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING

A lot of people complain about:

* Car rental prices
* Transport prices
* Driver costs

But after seeing what car owners spend regularly…

I started understanding the business side better.

Especially for operators managing multiple vehicles.

MY HONEST OPINION

At this point, reliability matters more than “forming”.

I’d rather use:

* A well-maintained car
* With peace of mind

Than force luxury and end up stranded somewhere.

LET’S DISCUSS

Car owners here:

What shocked you most after buying your car?

* Fuel?
* Maintenance?
* Nigerian roads?
* Spare parts?

Or do you think people are still exaggerating?

FINAL THOUGHT

Owning a car in Nigeria is no longer just about buying the vehicle…

The real challenge starts AFTER purchase.

InvestmentRe: Would You Rather Travel To UK With 30 Million Or Invest In Nigeira? by koladata(m): 5:59am On May 06
I think it depends, why not find other route that you wont have to spend the whole 30m on relocation, most countries will give you visa as long as you can prove that the 30m belongs to you.

You will only spend about 5m on relocation while you can keep 25m in Nigeria investing more on what made up the 30m in the first place except the money was a gift. Then use 5 to 10m to relocate and double the income.

With 25m in Nigeria , if you understand the street very well, you can double that money in 1year but it might be very hard to make 50m in one year abroad except you are top tier tech expect(not html css oo) or a medical professional who is already internationally acredited if not, taking abroad exam to fully integrate as a medical person could take up to 2years.

So way your options bro

RomanceRe: She Stopped Picking My Calls After This by koladata(m): 6:19pm On May 04
This is my point exactly, you don't love her, I've been a man for over a decade, and I know when a man truly loves a woman. Even the footballer on the pitch playing that match you were watching could fake an injury just to be with a woman they truly love.

You would have told her something else is keeping you busy and not football. Women don't value football that much so you will have to ease them into believing how important football is to you.
lovediehatelive:
The best option you just stated there.

However make we no lie, e no easy just like that, person wey I don plan different styles to give am.

And again let it not look like I didn't press harder.
RomanceRe: She Stopped Picking My Calls After This by koladata(m): 6:12pm On May 04
You don't really love her, except football is your job, I see no reason why you couldn't not have left the ball.
lovediehatelive:
Few weeks ago I met a girl and kept contact with her.

Everything was going on smoothly until I asked her to come to my place.


I already prepared my mind for 'NO', and that's what I actually got. I felt it's the usual not wanting to appear cheap so I tried again, she said she was busy.

It was on a Saturday. I lock up and continued with my life. The next day (Sunday) Mancity and Arsenal had match and I wasn't missing it for anything.

If she had accepted to come over, I would have planned my schedules so as to watch the game after that be with her or so.

But since she wasn't positive after second trial I assumed she won't be coming again.

Lo and behold just before the end of 1st half, (after Dounaruma mistake that Harvertz scored) her call came in, and she wanted to come!


Told her I was watching match I'll call her when I'm done.

That was it.

After the game I called but she didn't pick up. Messaged her on WhatsApp but she's not replying.


Since then she's been giving me attitude.

She's supposed to let me know on time, at least a day before, so that I plan my day, not towards evening by 5PM of the same day.



It's not as if I rejected her, I just can't leave my match for her even though I later called.

Has anyone ever experienced such?

PoliticsRe: In Written Statement, Jonathan Tells UK Court He Approved Diezani’s Private Jet by koladata(m): 4:27pm On May 01
There's already provision for private sector to come in , the only difference is that you have to generate minimum of 100 mega watt
lionshare:
My point is simple: your data is wrong. And yes, it’ll keep looking like rocket science as long as the government keeps distorting the market with subsidies. There’s no incentive for private capital to step in and build for profit under that kind of system. What’s needed is full deregulation—let tariffs reflect actual costs.

The government simply doesn’t have the capacity, resources, or long-term discipline to run the sector efficiently. Imagine if they were in charge of telecoms—you already know how that would look. They’re generally poor managers. And beyond that, the current reality—the pain of unreliable, epileptic supply—is already more expensive than any market-reflective tariff would be.

Take a simple example: if you’re on Band A and power goes out, running a generator for 48 hours will likely cost you more than paying for two weeks of Band A supply. That’s from direct experience—not even counting the lost productivity, missed opportunities, constant noise, and the higher cost of alternatives.
PoliticsRe: In Written Statement, Jonathan Tells UK Court He Approved Diezani’s Private Jet by koladata(m): 3:10pm On May 01
If we have 5,000 mega watt it will double what ever we have currently , those having 5 hours light per day can now have 10 ... its a good start
Toluwanise247:
Your research is not correct bro, we need 30,000 megawatts to have stable electricity in Nigeria….. which will cost 262 billion dollar
PoliticsRe: In Written Statement, Jonathan Tells UK Court He Approved Diezani’s Private Jet by koladata(m): 3:03pm On May 01
I don't even have anything to say to you .... and the transmission and distribution is rocket science abi , or other countries that distributed their own used black magic to do it ?
lionshare:
Pls go back to your prompt and include cost of transmission and distribution infrastructure across Nigeria. The generation part is the easier part compared to transmission & distribution.

See how they ruin this country... one by one

I asked ChatGPT today how much it will cost to build 5k megawatt, it says 5billion dollars, I then asked how much was Nigeria generated revenue for 2025, it says 35 to 50 billion dollars.

Dangote refinery was able to build his own power within a year and they currently have about 540 megawatt, meanwhile the entire country has less than 4k megawatt, is that not counterintuitive
