Richtaiwo:
So, if Muslims are also falling victim to banditry and insurgency, one is compelled to ask, where exactly did this dramatic tale of a “Christian genocide” originate from? Or is it one of those conspiracy theories manufactured somewhere between WhatsApp broadcasts and late-night imagination?

And now to the handle-mops, having exhausted local theatrics, they appear to be pinning their hopes on Trump, expecting him to swoop in and somehow replace Tinubu with pitobi under the banner of “Christian genocide.” One has to admire the creativity.

When that fantasy collapses, as it surely will, what’s the next move? A heartfelt appeal to Netanyahu? At this rate, the campaign strategy seems less like politics and more like an international prayer chain, desperately searching for a miracle sponsor.

Went to drink last night. Bought a large peppered chicken wing for 2,500. When it was sliced to smaller pieces, I realised the meat is good for that price.

You guys should ask your brothers and sisters in America why they are ordering food stuffs from Nigeria even with Trump Tariff, if it is more expensive in Nigeria.

You guys are comparing the cost of chicken in Nigeria with that of America ignoring quality. I am not saying things are not expensive in Nigeria. The comparison is what I question.

Food is far cheaper in Nigeria. The chicken you are quoting the price are low quality. it is not comparable to what is obtainable in Nigeria. Nigerians that are lower middle class and up don't eat those chicken. I can speaks to it because I often meet many Nigerians at the farm buying live fish, chicken, cattle etc. You go to the farm not for the cheap price but for the quality that is same as you get in Nigeria.

Hoodrat:
You should be grateful that you understand the deeper reasons behind slavery and colonization, because many of our own people still don’t. The average Nigerian is often trapped in tribal sentiment, envy, and an inferiority complex, and that makes it hard for them to grasp this kind of perspective. Until we elevate our thinking and recognize the importance of building our own institutions and strengthening our own communities, we’ll keep missing the bigger picture.

The same people who ignored us during slavery, who didn’t listen when our ancestors were being killed and displaced in Africa, suddenly want to listen now. Yet the roots of the world’s injustices run deep, and anyone blinded by tribal bias will never fully understand the scale of what has happened—or what is still happening.

Stop misinforming people. If you earn below 800k you pay no tax. Which is 66,666 naira monthly. If you earn 67k you go pay tax

Edplug:
Below is a list of how much 1kg fresh whole chicken cost in other countries vs the cost in Nigeria.

Insight: Despite having the lowest minimum wage among these nations, Nigeria has the highest cost of chicken—more than double the price in Thailand and significantly higher than in the USA.

Do you still think it's cheaper to live in Nigeria?

BlackViper:
Thank you for your service Sir.

Kukutente23:
Even you are spreading fake news
The threshold is 800k which translates to roughly less than 70k per month yet you claim those who earn 100k per month (1.2m per year) will be exempted from tax.
The govt would start by dealing with zombies

Hahahahaha the whole of China ought to be serving a life sentence then, including President Xi


Most countries that have technology today started from copying. China started that way and still doing it till tomorrow.



The first time I visited China, I was wowed.


My tour guide took me to a place in China where they produce replica of all the luxury fashion products on earth. You can't even differentiate between the counterfeits there and the original one.


Like one Christian Dior bag I once bought for my wife as a birthday gift that cost over a million naira, I saw it there at less than 400k and it's just same I had to buy a different design to show my wife.


I also bought replica Rolex watch they sell the original 3.5m and I bought the replica around 250k


You come to spare parts same thing

If you visit China you won't be surprised about this news. Yes I know it's not a good practice, it's violation of patent right but unfortunately that's what the whole world does now.


Turkey is even the headquarters of fake, copy or counterfeit luxury fashion products. All those luxury brand products they sell to you guys in Nigeria as original are all fake, counterfeits produced in Turkey. The whole world knows about this and reason many troop to Istanbul to buy cheap luxury brand fashion products at reduced price


You need to travel more and see that the world has spoilt sha, Alasba boys are learners

Don't always believe everything you see and hear.
Let me tell you a bit of what happens in the market, then you might educate others. We bring in television and electronics from LG and other companies, without cartons because when it is not big on size, the amount Customs charge becomes less.
So we produce cartons in Nigeria and repack them and use the machine the companies sent to us to write down their logo and names on the carton.

Don't take my word for it, contact the companies in china and Japan of they know what we are doing, if they are the ones that even advised us to do it to reduce cost of import duties

Her promotion to Brigadier General in the U.S. Army happened back in March 2024, yet Nigerian media suddenly began blasting it across headlines in the last 24 hours. The timing is suspicious, especially when paired with the exaggerated praise coming from certain U.S. voices and the sudden, selective interest in Nigerian affairs.

This pattern isn’t new. Historically, when elite or bourgeois individuals from colonized or formerly colonized societies are elevated and celebrated by powerful foreign institutions, it often serves a strategic purpose. The individual becomes a symbolic tool—presented as a “hero,” a “success story,” or a “bridge”—while the deeper political or geopolitical intentions remain hidden.

Such narratives are frequently used to soften public perception, distract from uncomfortable realities, or justify future actions. When a divided and vulnerable nation is involved, the tactic becomes even more effective: elevate one person as a symbol of progress, and use that symbolism to mask agendas that may not benefit the people being praised.

What is being framed as a celebration of Nigerian excellence may, in fact, be part of a familiar pattern—one where praise is not simply praise, but preparation.

A 79-year-old British multimillionaire, Sir Benjamin Slade, is seeking a young woman to have a son to inherit his fortune and continue his lineage.

Sir Benjamin Slade, a 79-year-old British baronet and owner of the 1,300-acre Maunsel House estate in Somerset, is advertising for a woman in her 20s or 30s to marry and produce a male heir, offering an annual salary of up to £50,000 plus perks like private jet access.

This echoes his 2025 public appeals for a 'good breeder' to secure his lineage, as he lacks a direct male descendant despite past surrogacy attempts abroad, highlighting tensions between aristocratic traditions and modern inheritance laws.

The post has ignited diverse reactions on X, from satirical volunteer offers and jokes about his timing to broader discussions on declining birth rates and cultural shifts away from traditional family structures in the UK.

The new trend among Africans now, including diaspora Africans of the Caribbean and the USA, is to don NIGERIAN TRADITIONAL OUTFITS for their weddings, naming ceremonies, birthdays, etc.

Kenyan women are now ordering Aso Ebi and Gele for their weddings.

Same as Congolese, Ugandan, Tanzanian women, etc etc.

And some of their people are saying ''Enough is Enough. Where is our own culture? Nigeria will not swallow all of us in this Africa!''

“You’ve Never Paid School Fees Here” — Boy Boldly Confronts His Mother in Trending Video



A shocking yet hilarious video currently making the rounds on social media has stirred massive reactions. In the viral clip, a young boy is seen fearlessly confronting his mother, boldly telling her that she has no right to caution him because, according to him, she has never contributed financially to his education.

In his words:

> “I don’t blame you. It’s because daddy traveled, that’s why you’re doing this rubbish. Have you ever paid school fees for anybody in this house? You have never contributed shishi, it’s daddy that pays for everything.”



The boy’s confidence and unapologetic tone left many viewers stunned, while others couldn’t help but laugh at his courage. Some social media users described his outburst as “disrespectful,” insisting the child deserved serious discipline, while others argued that he was simply expressing his frustrations in the only way he knew how.

The trending clip has since sparked conversations about parenting, respect, and the growing boldness of children in today’s generation.

What are your thoughts on this? Was the boy out of line, or was he simply speaking his truth?

SpencerForbes:
Truth without respect is just insults. Truth has a tone—there’s a way you speak and a way you don't. Let’s stop backing n nsense. This is Nairaland, not Dollarland; our values still mean something. Stop supporting what’s wrong. We grew up knowing that even if you disagree with your mother, you don't 'correct' her like she’s your mate. That’s a failure of home training, plain and simple.

A child 'correcting' his mother like a peer isn't a sign of growth; it’s a sign of a failed upbringing. If he lacks a filter at this age, his future is a major red flag. That’s not 'honesty'—it's pure disrespect. In my day, his father would have corrected that energy mercilessly. Does he even understand the traditional roles his parents agreed upon? Probably not. We need to stop validating lawlessness in the name of modernization. Normalizing nonsense doesn't make us 'civilized'—it just brings madness.

…says government, labour need each other to survive


According to the former president, Nigeria’s labour space during the Cold War era was dominated by two powerful labour organisations which, though Nigerian in name, were allegedly financed and influenced by opposing global power blocs.

He said one faction received support from the Soviet Union’s KGB, while the other was funded by the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency, a situation he described as unhealthy and dangerous for an independent nation.

“As far as you remember, when Gooduck was leading one of the two major labour then Adebola, these two labour organizations are Nigerian labour organizations but they were not organized or funded by Nigeria,” Obasanjo said. “I don’t know if you know that, but that was the reality.

“One was being financed by KGB, that is the truth, and the other one was being financed by CIA, that was the truth, and then I came on the scene.”
