Congratulation to them

Make dem no sha send them to the frontline

They hardly send women to Frontline, their usefulness are tea girl, sec, admin, finance, medical. No battle tested female combatant.

SixSeven:
They have money for wars but never money and time for peace. I don't want to use the swear word here. That's how/why Boko Haram is never a problem when it's election time,they always retreat till after elections. If Tupac were alive, here's what he would have sang to Zelensky and politicians dem. Make I no add Fela join 👇


Verse:
They want you voting in the trenches while the missiles rain
How you elect a president when people live in pain?
You ask the Kremlin for a break, a sixty-day ceasefire
But politicians feed the flames to keep the profits higher.
They playin' chess with human lives from a distance away
While mothers bury children in the mud every day.
Don't trust the promises of empires, they switch up the script
They keep the frontline bleeding just to keep a grip.
You want a mandate from the people? Look 'em dead in the eyes
Past the diplomatic double-talk and institutional lies.
They say you don't deserve a break, they want to watch you fall
But true democracy is making sure your people stand tall.
So let 'em talk about the ballots while the bullets fly
Real leaders hold the line so the innocent don't die.

sixSeven, you good mehn. tupac for life.

Sleekfingers:
At least I am more sensible than your father.

Some of the factors I mentioned also contributed to the killing of the textile industries.

Now similar thing is happening, but lots of people are not talking about. The Adire production , most of these people are now are importing Adire from China in large quality. Killing the Adire business.....they will go to China with various samples and mass-produced it.

Go to Adire market or production centre of Adire in Ogun state . And hear what the people are saying.

Oh, so dey are making Adire people's business hard while complaining about the Chinese in Alaba trying to put them outta busnezz!!

This is what Prof Noah Harari called;"the rise of the useless class".

gigabyte13:
If they are selling cheaper and quality than the indigenous people, who benefits....?
Afterall the indigenous people too are not producing, they are also importing.
Look at it from whatever angle you chose to.

The indigenous folks would be fvcked, cos they don't produce, and even if the do, it is inferior and expensive. I rather go for cheap and quality. So, the indigenous shelves remain full,and less to no patronage.

mightyhaze:
2004?

I don finish nysc in 2004

Rip youngster

Ol' gee. Respect.
seeing this post, I remembered tupac's interview about Yummy's death of Chicago while incarcerated.
He said something like, how can we as blacks grow our communities if we continue like this. Changes lyrics just crossed my mind. The only time we chill is when we kill each other.

Bahamas95:
I would have loved to, but I don't want a situation where it looks like I'm casting him online. He's a Nairalander and might see my comment.

Okay. No lele.

Cheapdata2026:
From the way she speaks. The reason why she is still single at 41 is clear now.

Bros, how she speak? Cos, I no get data to watch the video.

SmartPolician:
This is a smokescreen. I have a friend like this. They always have a motive that I wouldn't want to share here.

Baba, share small make we learn.

Bahamas95:
A desperate woman can do anything to get what she wants, once she gets it the contract is over.


A family friend is presently in that situation now, we all warned him but he didn't listen.

Abeg, give us small gist of the situation now.

AbosedeFalade:
Go for it, baby, go. You've my support. If Tinubu could be the President of Nigeria, nothing stops you from becoming their president too. My own ambition to become the president of my own country is also alive. We'll all get there some day. In fact, my own ambition is closer to manifest, citing my past and present positions in capitol .

Wetin be those past and present positions in Capitol?

Karlman:
I can assure you those xenophobic animals will never sholve nor slap a jew because they will be paying with their very lives.

True story.

Karlman:
When a country is led by criminal idiots, the citizens suffer and die.

Just imagine what Israel will do in response if just one Jewish life is lost in south africa?

Benjamin Netanyahu, I am lucky as an African to witness your reign over Israel.

South Africa is on Israel hit list, it is just matter of time. Even if Ben is not there, things go still sup.

GloriousGbola:
In summary Nigeria is great if you are a sexually indisciplined man because there are no consequences for creepy behaviour

What is creepy about wanting to fvck. It's only natural we fvck.

KingRabota:
Any little thing concerning preek na life imprisonment. But I know of murderers getting less than 7 years.
This absurdity is ludicrous.
And men are online complaining until it happens to you.
These satanic bitchhcraft that can wake point finger at a man and accuse him and the man is as good as guilty especially with the lousy overzealous kotti wey normally no get smese.
Very soon we will leave their women for them .
Cluelessness and brainlessnes inside one skull

. Funny thing be say, na even men with preeekz dey make this life imprisonment law on prikk. Na prikk be threat to prikk, not toutou.

Justnation:
Sanwolu and his confused gangs should concentrate on proper governance and stop messing up our marriage system.
Don't bring American system to Nigeria, it will never work.
Reserve that law for yourself and your family.
It is a recipe for massive broken marriages, martial infidelity and polygamy.

Seeing it, I just said copy copy in my head.

RandDigital:
😂😂😂

I mean girl got crowned, grabbed prizes and bounced. Our favorite, Miss Kwara, was gonna be obliged to do impactful community service for a year.

So, is Miss Universe Nigeria one disfunctional entity or Chidimma a scam artist? Or something bigger on the political front coz h.orny politicians were lining up to gift her Mercs.

So, you sabi Naija politicians, already?!!!

Armed police at defence headquarter. I don't understand?

anslemarinze52:
I think una jus de make this thing look like a big sin!! E de pain most of una say he de successful in the business. Drug trafficking isn't a big sin na... It's not a big sin or crime compared to murder, rape, false accusations etc. so why una de make it look like a big deal when it's actually not!!!!

Guy, are you serious? Drugs mess a society up. Drugs are mostly catalyst to the aforementioned crimes you listed up there. You need read up the history of China and the British opiom trade there. How the Chinese society was filled with druggies...

Sheuns:
All those who called military rule and IBB bad are the same people celebrating him and calling him the man that revolutionized Nigeria.

I just wonder.

confused.

Mrchippychappy:
Who wants to be a millionaire. Correct Answer for 1million.

Which would you choose:

A) The country that refuses to use the + sign

or

B) The country that sponsors radical Islamism and terrorism, forces women to dress like characters from America Ninja Part 2, refuses to educate their population and call black people Abeed?

Correct answer for 1 million.

A

Kobojunkie:
Most of our Nigerian obas and kings were slave owners and traders. Including the one whose picture you posted. They were not inventors or writers but instead made vast wealth from selling slaves, which was the primary trade for the majority.🙄

Our politicians(leaders) are the same, neither innovators nor writers. In this case, they selling us through desperate japa(huge sum sent, gov do, etc).
There is another thing I observed with my north minority Christians. We are fast to call someone bawa(a slave to my tribe). We have a lot of tribes from kd, nasarawa, to adamawa, gombe, bauchi, plateau, Taraba and the rest of where we have christians. You see these states and the tribes within, one tribe always have this sense of superiority, and could jokingly call or seriously call you his or her Bawa. I don't know if it is a defeatism mentality caused by northern Muslims. I have had experiences of both men and women saying this to me.
See another clear evidence. Tivs in Benue sees idomas as deputy.

Which kind test kits she carry for bag, oraquick or more than 50 determine?

I heard that name first from Tiwa Savage.
Tiwa: Jowizaza, do transfer, yourself be my guy...

I wish the papa safe return.

It is well. Pray harder, prayer works and with wisdom and God's mercy, you could meet a lady that will turn to a blessing for you and transform your life. It happens, it has happened to many Nigerian men, forget online bashing of women, some ladies are a blessing to their husbands, pray to find one and don't give up

Amen. Thank you. I have a one or two friends wey get better women wey move oversea. I basically not in a search but observing. I am just trying to do my thing to make out of this grind of financial lack. For now, any other thing no dey worry me.

franchasng:
Dear op, listen to me carefully, don't let some comments here discourage you or make you stop believing whatever you used to believe in the past.


One thing about me is this, I love speaking from my personal experience and the experience of people I know too well and can speak about.


To start with, I didn't marry broke because when I was broke as a single man, I didn't even had the confidence to start any serious or committed relationship even though I came across wonderful ladies that still wanted us to be committed but I was too scared of my future to commit and I hated the idea of marrying broke and without a financial direction in my life, so I stayed single until I started seeing progress in my life and have started my own small business which gradually transformed to a small firm, that was when I had the courage to get married, so I can't really say if marriage did brought financial prosperity to me per se, though I can sincerely say that the birth of my first son brought massive financial blessings and open doors to my business, it was like a bomb. The boy came with fortune and I pray God keep that fortune and great destiny of bringing open doors for him as he grows older. Another thing I can vividly remember is that on our wedding day, while in our hotel room, I got a very big business deal, I can't say it was my wife that brought that luck cos I was already into business and sowing seeds here and there and it was normal for one to germinate at any time.


Now let me talk about close friends and family members I know.


One of my elderly siblings, marriage brought problems to him. His own marriage in fact brought chaos and woes into his life. I guess he married wrongly. Please dear single guys reading, whenever you want to marry a particular lady and your father and other elderly relatives tell you not to marry the lady, please be careful, go to God in prayer to be sure you are not making a mistake marrying that lady. My father and some relatives stood against my brother marring that lady but my brother out of love and pity not to break the lady's heart cos she was his long term girlfriend went ahead and married her and it was chaos upon chaos. My brother that was rich before he married her suffered so much in that marriage until he left this world untimely. There is another elderly brother who marriage brought blessings upon his life. His wife transformed his life so much that it was so obvious. This lady was a huge blessing to my brother. Whatever my brother is today it was that lady, she was a God sent to my brother.


Now let me talk about friends.

I have five to seven close friends whom marriage elevated their lives. One is a billionaire today, a naira billionaire all thanks to the blessed, wonderful, calm lady he married. The lady came from a semi rich family and her family helped to raise the capital my friend used to boost his business and even when he had setbacks, they still didn't give up on him, they raised him more capital until he became the rich guy he is today. God bless that woman for turning the life of my friend around.



I also have four other friends who married blessings. These ladies came and brought upliftment in the lives of my friends. Three were American citizens, Nigerian ladies who married these three friends and took them to America where they are now making big financial waves together and changing lives. God bless the souls of those wonderful Nigerian ladies.


I also have two other friends that married nice Nigerian ladies that live in different western countries and helped took them abroad too where they went and established small companies now making wave in Nigeria.


I also have one friend again that left Nigeria for China without direction, got there and married a Chinese lady that transformed his life and today he is one of the richest guys in Nigeria unknown to many, yes. Some marriages bring blessings to people. It depends on your destiny, lucky and how wise you are in making choices and taking chances.



So op, let me not go further, my point is this; if you marry right and you are lucky enough to find the right lady, marriage will bring super prosperity to your life but if you marry foolishly because of romantic love alone like my late elder brother, marriage will mar your life. So take marriage serious, take screening of your future wife serious. Take prayer serious before you marry. If you don't believe in prayer, better use your traditional way to make sure you are marrying right. Don't do the Nigerian city marriage of marrying anyhow just because of sexual starvation and all those frivolities, u go regret your life at the end.

Nice one. Just the other day, one Fulani man, I met at a spot offered me a drink and gifted me 5k for being a teacher in a private school, maybe cos the proprietor is his friend. He asked if I was married I said no, he laughed and said, he having two wives had helped a lot of single men, he said I should try and get married, and had it been I am Muslim he would have given me one of his pretty daughters(he showed me videos/pics, really Fulani light skin).

That situation got me thinking. At this stage of my life. I still dey struggle and you want me to add another person just like that. I work underpay/underemployed in early 40s with debt to his name. And you want me to lock up and do it. I may want it if I meet the right woman to plan that.

Lastly, it is very hard to pursue a career or grow a business without some reasonable amount of money. If you ask me, when last I see one-fifty or two hundred gees NAIRA for my account at once? I go tell you september, 2024. So, where I wan start the marriage. Na survival mode we dey like this. I once wanted to get married to a girl, my dad and siblings raised flag, she left when I lost my job. Na long story. Since then I dey fear. I no dey too put mouth for girlfriend/wife contributions. Besides, I am just a broke man looking for a way out.

TheStoriesOfMan:
Wait first, you call marrying at 35, in this Tinubu economy, LATE?

Hahahahaha

What will you say about those men who are 45 and above?

Ignore him, the last time I saw two hundred k or one hundred k in my account was in 2024 July, since then, na fifty k be highest with plenty workload. I am in my early 40s, will add a yr in 3days. I am not married, yet. And not thinking of it. Inside the small salary, you still support family. Gbese choke.

Ok, but chat me on my email below:

I don't want people pestering me with calls if I put my digits here, please.

You live in the UK?

g0ldenval:
I thought marriage and relationships don't benefit Nigerian men?
Everyday y'all create topics about women to wail like babies
Ndi "men are the prize" that won't let women rest
Ask an average Nigerian woman to show the messages she gets on social media from the so called desperate "prizes"
You are under 6ft, balding, horrible mouth and body odor, cannot afford 3 square meals but you call yourself "prize"
Shiooor

What is bad with balding?

KingAzubuike:
So a private who entered with ssce would be collecting above 200k
While many graduates out there in different firms earn far below that.

You see say life no balance.

Police constable wey just finish training dey earn pass me wey dey teach math to more than 200 children for one private school.

When will most private schools teachers earn reasonable pay? Even a new constable in the police force earns more than most private schools teachers.
