By Wale Abideen; The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu yesterday in a chat with a few journalists dismissed as “the ranting of idiots” a trending story that Lagos is not a Yoruba land. Speaking at the Jumat service held at the Lagos Central Mosque yesterday.
The Oba said those who wish to distort the history of Lagos the “undisputable Yoruba seal” are free to do so but that “facts are different from fiction.” The Oba stated “I have not issued any statement on the origin of Lagos.
Its unfortunate that idiots and vagabound have taken over the cyber space.
As a king, I do not need to respond to any silly statement I read on the internet.” He said anybody who says Lagos is not Yoruba land “must be an idiot”.The Oba said it is not in his character to discuss issues of importance and royalty with “unstable minds” whom he said are out to distort the “legendary Yoruba history of which Lagos ia proud of”. He said “let those people say anything they like. They can even say that Lagos belongs to Iraq. But the truth is that “history of Lagos and her Yoruba heritage dates back to 10th century which no one can eraze.”

Thanks again for another great submission. I know of the Saros and Krios though and that was the confusing thing about it. I was wondering how Ijo that had oral traditions of settling in the Nigerdelta now come with Europeans in ships, like how?

MICHASHERKOSTO:
Ijaw language has great similarities with twi people of
Asante Ghana, so I might not doubt, since they usually migrate. Migrating through from Ghana, through Benin republic to Niger Delta is same sea route, not hard.....

in the UK we have what we call a tax code, this is the amount of money you need to earn above in order to pay tax If you earn below this amount you won't pay any tax. The max tax u can pay as a salary earner in the UK is 40% these are for those earning above 40k and it's only applicable to the overspill of the 40k ie 41K U will pay 40% on 1k. If you earn anything from 15k to 40k and your tax code is 1171, this means your taxation would be calculated withing 40k-1171. However, if you do not have a tax code yet ie you just started a new job etc you will be taxed at a basic rate(BR) which is flat 20%. Everyone's tax code is different, married people with families are different from single and young people! So for those of you thinking 50% is going to be taken from your earned monies I say this stop speculating and assuming, ask people who live, work and earn in them cities for the right Info to boost your knowledge.

For the past few weeks across the world, sex dolls have been trending and different issues arising on the man-made replacement for omen in the society. Now, a photo of a man and his sex doll has gone viral as they were both spotted smoking marijuana.

It seems like the sex dolls are set to take over as aside from taking charge in the bedroom they are now having romantic relationships with humans and experts believe in the near future some men will even go as far as making them their wives.

https://i0.wp.com/lailasnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Viral-photos-of-a-man-and-his-sex-doll-smoking-marijuana-Lailasnews-4.png?resize=417%2C410&ssl=1

It is even reported that a sex doll just had an account with the popular photo sharing App, Instagram and in a matter of minutes, social media users began to flood to the page and follow the inanimate object.

The sex doll, which goes by the name Honey, has photos of itself and its owners on the Instagram account. And they are always pictured together having fun as though they are real lovers.

Honey’s photos range from photos of her alone in suggestive positions to photos of her with her boyfriend Casey cuddling and doing other stuff. They ere even pictured together smoking marijuana.

Honey is something of a Slayqueen with the way she changes clothes and wigs with the help of her boyfriend. Casey even applies makeup for her and takes her to the pool and the bathroom.

Sex dolls are quite expensive, at least when the value of the item is converted into the Nigerian currency. Some go even as high as N800,000 and there has been a debate whether average guys will be able to afford the pleasuring item.

Nollywood actress, Maryam Charles even mentioned that broke guys are also joining other rich Nigerian to advocate for the acceptance of sex dolls in the society.

I saw a feature called the THEFT ALERT and I decided to read more on it... HERE is summary on what I got

THEFT Alerts is a Premium feature that gives you the information you need to recover your device if it has been stolen. Lookout will send you an email to let you know when one of the following actions has been taken on your device:

Multiple failed passcode attempts in a row*
Your SIM card has been removed or replaced
Airplane Mode has been enabled
Your device has been powered off*
Lookout's Device Admin capabilities have been disabled*
*Android only

The email will include the location of your device, and if you are on Android, a photo taken with the front-facing camera. You can choose which behaviors you want to be alerted on at any time...

As easy as that, or is there a simpler way to go about this?

abatically:
I had this on my old lg g3. The phone was stolen when I rolled down in traffic. I kept getting snapshots of the thief whenever he tried to unlock the phone with location. I even got a notification when the phone made it to computer village, probably to try and flash it. Up till the time the phone landed on the hands of a lady, kept getting her snapshot sent to my email then. I would have easily recovered that phone if I involved the police but just chose to not bother.

Chrisrare:
There are five questions that a woman should never, ever ask her man unless of course you want him to lie to you. The five questions are:

1. "What are you thinking right now?"
2. "Do you love me?"
3. "Do I look fat?"
4. "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
5. "What would you do if I died?"

What makes these questions so bad is that any of those questions can lead to a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly.

Below is the detailed analysis of each question, which in turn provides the best possible answer. Also the most commonly used wrong answers are listed.

1. What are you thinking?
The proper answer to this question, of course is, "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to have met you." Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was most likely one of the following things:

Football!
How fat you are.
How much prettier she is than you.
How one game cut his ticket
The containers he's expecting... And so on

2. Do you love me?
The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear". Wrong answers include:

I suppose so.
Would it make you feel better if I said yes.
That depends on what you mean by "love".
Does it matter?
Who, me?

3. Do I look fat?
The correct male response to this question is to confidently and emphatically state, "No, of course not." and then quickly leave the room. Wrong answers include:

I wouldn't call you fat, but I wouldn't call you thin either.
Compared to what?
A little extra weight looks good on you.
I've seen fatter.
You say what?

4. Do you think she's prettier than me?
The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were starring at so hard that you almost cause a traffic accident or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is, "No, you are much prettier." Wrong answers include:

Not prettier, just pretty in a different way.
I don't know how one goes about rating such things.
Yes, but I bet you have a better personality.
Only in the sense that she's younger and thinner.
You say what?

5. What would you do if I died?
Correct answer: "Dearest love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to have meaning for me and I would hurl myself under the front tires of the first trailer that came my way."
This might be the stupidest question of the lot.

So how have you been answering these questions? And for those that have been answering these questions wrongly, you will do well to take a leaf from the aforementioned tips.

Hey guys

I’m making this post because I don’t want to be judged and I can’t turn my on people in my real life because they may not understand. Well I’ve been married for 2 plus years I’m 27 with a son. I’m going to get personal so embrace yourself.

Myself and my husband have a good relationship, almost too good because I literally see him like my brother. This is to the point where our romantic/lover side of our relationship is kinda dead. I see him naked, it’s like looking at my brother naked. I don’t feel turned on, or excited. We talk and gist like friends, but romantically things are flat. Our sex life is mediocre I guess. He doesn’t do oralll sexxx and he ejaculates very fast. I’m talking 10 seconds, and it’s every single time despite taking different preventative measures. I know that I’m extremely clean as I’m very observant of myself and he also tells me all the time. Yet orall sexxx is disgusting to him and “dehumanising”. There’s no passion when we kiss, its forced most times.


Lately I’ve been finding myself fantasising about being touched by a man , almost every night . A man that will give me orall sexx a man that will turn me on and blow me away. I don’t want to be judged here, but this is genuinely how I’ve been feeling. I don’t want to put pressure on my husband as he has other things to worry about.
A man that will kiss me in all the right places and make me feel like a woman. Sometimes I believe I’m being delusional, or unrealistic. I’m trying to get rid of these thoughts, but I really don’t know how. I have never cheated on my husband and I don’t think I have the guts to do it. I really just want to know how married people cope when that spark is gone. When you begin to look at your spouse like a brother or sister, and romantically the vibes are not there.

Let me also say that I’ve addressed this to him many times, but he stands he’s not willing to compromise.

Help!

Mods, I need this on front page as I need help for people to see this.

missjo:
Nairaland didn't really change,just that old users are no more. Been here since 07 though I deactivated and returned and it's still the same but just with a new set of people.

Those people mentioned don't even qualify as people who created or gave insightful,constructive,or brainstorming topics, they were actually the ones who go about e-fighting and cursing especially coogar and babymama. Only idowu was the comical one.

Nairaland has always been battles upon battles,there was a time it was between Nigerians in diaspora(NID) versus Nigerians in Nigeria(NIN), I remember how bloody that was. Then it was christians versus Muslims versus Atheist battles, then Igbo versus Yoruba wars which is still visible.
Then there was the feminism versus anti-feminism wars,which is now male versus female these days.
Its always been one war or the other on this forum.

The only noticeable thing now on NL is that the diasporan community on NL has reduced tremendously probably because the NIN no longer care about diasporans and curse everyone equally.,trust me I know cos I was on the NID side of the war back then
And guess what,most of the people on that list are all diasporans.

Apologies all for this long wait..
Traffic here in Lagos can be mental sapping.
Like I said on the headline,I will be detailed on my journey...
Just to clear all doubt..I didn't study computer science or any computer related field..

TRANSITION PERIOD: After graduating from the university with my BSc Biochemistry...I felt I'm a big boy, I can apply to any firm and start earning big.... Damn, I was wrong...took real stress and effort to even get a teaching job paying less than 20k.....Then it was then I realized what I studied wasn't relevant to Nigeria...It was actually frustrating...I felt I could be better of.. Fast forward I went for MSc thinking I could get a lecturing job but even graduating with a Phd grade of 4.3 I was offered a job of under 50k....
It was then I knew I had to switch for good...
Mind you I always had a knack for computer but never did want to go into it..


Will continue tomorrow..need to rest guys.

Klass99:
Having class involves good manners, politeness, pride without showing off, empathy, humility and an abundance of self-control.

It is also about an ingrained and wonderful upbringing which reflects years later in your adulthood. Class is evident in your words and conduct, you either have it in you or you don't. It is more about your carriage and comportment as a person, than the flashy apparel you wear.

You can buy the latest fashion, gadgets and glam up all you want, but the moment you open your mouth to speak and from the way you behave, we will know whether you have class or not.

I know an oil and gas worker with Exxon Mobil, who is very mgbekelicious in the way he carries himself. With all his wealth, nice clothes and fine car I will never describe him as a man with class. I can say he is a man of means, but class.....hell no.



They are just wailing wailers, in real life they relate with these same Naija women they like to bash.
One user who constantly insults women here, said he has 3 kids from 3 different women.
What was he doing with the same Nigerian women he loves to hate/bash on NL?
Abi, the women who are offline are not Naija women again?
Las las dem go quench on top Naija women matter.

Bro, its very possible.. Even in a week.. Not everything money can do but when it comes to building construction, money can do virtually everything. Have seen four storey built in three weeks. What do you say about that? Both day and night work.

Bro, do you know that, international construction coy like CCECC can even finish the building in two weeks. Hope you've heard about prefab before?

Bro, make God bless your hustle, make you get money. Na to just give them the money and give them the delivery duration. Sit down and see if it wont be possible when your money speaks.
All the best broda!

The veterinary profession is one of the most affected professions in terms of quackery, in that sometimes it is very difficult to identify a genuine vet doctor. You would even see some semi-illiterates and diploma holders parading themselves as veterinarians simply because they have an idea of some animal diseases. It is even more worrisome, the confidence and brazenness some of these quacks exhibit because in their minds, they are usually like "its just an ordinary animal". The only way to avoid falling victims to such unscrupulous people is for pet owners to have the capability to be able to distinguish between quacks and genuine doctors, because it may determine the life or death of your pet. The ways in which you can identify a quack are listed below;

1) Its your right as a pet owner to ask questions about whatever condition your animal is suffering from and get a very detailed answer, if your "vet" cannot answer you or is dodgy about the question. Such individual is likely a quack. (Most quacks may be knowledgeable on how to perform the procedure but don't usually know the principles behind such procedure)

2) Stylishly ask which school he/she graduated from if you are suspicious. Presently, we have only 11 vet schools in Nigeria. They include;

(a)Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
(b) Federal University Of Agriculture, Abeokuta
(c) Federal University Of Agriculture, Makurdi (4)
(d) Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike
(e) University Of Abuja,Abuja
(f) University Of Ibadan, Ibadan
(g) University Of Ilorin, Ilorin
(h) University Of Maiduguri
(i) University Of Nigeria Nsukka
(j) Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto
(I) University Of Jos
Most people do not know the schools that offer veterinary medicine, hence tend to make a blunder. It is imperative to take note of the above schools, if their school ain't in any of the above for now, he/she is definitely a quack. "Imagine a "vet" claiming he/she graduated from Unilag"

3) Check the persons carriage, spoken english and dressing, although subjective, it can be a give away

4) Check their price range and desperation for money, it could also be a give away. My dear friends, no veterinarian who spent 6yrs in Vet school would collect 300 naira from you for any procedure in your house !!!

5) Lastly, if they are quick to give judgement on your case without careful and proper diagnosis, such individual is likely a quack.

In conclusion, I believe if the above principles are followed you would be saved from quacks and get better quality treatment for your pets.
