Wahala Jam trouble!

Can police authorities teach us how to recognize and 'corporate' with the legal or authorize check points? Is very not enough to issue statements- When you jam these men on the road, you have to be very careful, make them no use Tinubu regime frustration pour on you

On a serious note, Is this not better than going to University, probably to study sociology and others funny courses....U fit no see 2million together till you old and die.

There is no law court on social media. If her claims are true and HER HUSBAND IS CLEAN, she should approach the court asap for redress, compensation and public apology from the EFCC. Nigerian officials should be routinely trained on how to engage, handle and manage civilians whom they claim to be working for.

By the Mercies of God, Your Sister and family should run very far away from him and his family. It most likely will not end well.

Gentlesoul2021:
Good day N'Lander

I need genuine opinions on a relationship dilemma.

My younger sister is 31 years old. She's highly educated with a master's degree, works with an NGO as a Programme Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor, and is also a skilled fashion designer with equipment worth over ₦2 million. She's hardworking, focused, and has consistently supported our family. Her job has taken her across different states, exposing her to diverse experiences and opportunities. Above all, she's deeply committed to her Christian faith.

She recently met a fellow church brother who has expressed serious interest in marrying her. However, he left school after Primary Six and works as a traditional window louvre fabricator. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with learning a trade, he has had opportunities to upgrade his skills to modern aluminium fabrication but hasn't pursued them. Instead, he seems more interested in becoming a pastor or working in a church, though he currently has no clear or realistic path to achieving that.

Another concern is the family dynamic. My mother and the young man's mother serve in the same church unit. On several occasions, whenever he goes out for a job, his mother would call him back or redirect him for other errands, and she would even mention these things to my mother. This has given us the impression that she relies heavily on him, raising concerns about the level of responsibility he already carries within his family and how that might affect his future marriage.

My mother strongly opposes the relationship, believing the gap in education, career progression, ambition, life direction, and even family expectations is too significant. I understand her concerns and tend to agree, but it also raises an important question.

Can love alone sustain a marriage when there's such a wide difference in education, ambition, exposure, career growth, and family responsibilities? Or should long-term compatibility, shared vision, emotional maturity, and the ability to build a stable future together carry more weight than love?

I'd genuinely appreciate respectful and honest opinions from both married and unmarried people. Please keep the discussion civil and objective—this isn't about looking down on anyone because of their educational background or occupation, but about understanding what truly makes a marriage work in the long run.

This Oga is a huge ingrate. Who even knew him and labour party before Obi joined. I think these political parties, including NDC should be paying Peter Obi for marketing and making them popular. This is the honest truth. How many political observers ever knew Dickson had a political party named NDC talk less of fielding candidates at national or (even) regional elections? Ever Dickson cannot even contest on his own party

For me: Government should legislate birth control. If you earn less than 250k or its equivalent, you cannot have more than a child. Too many children is one of the key drivers of poverty and domestic frustration. If you don't have a clear source of income, you do not have business with procreation. In fact, Abortion should be free in all government hospitals. Primary health care centres should be trained and nurtured to support safe abortions to terminate unwanted responsibilities AKA children

A man that earns less than 200k with 3 children cannot conveniently buy a bottle of Malta and relax because of too many financial responsibilities

Me: Oga, We no dey do like that for here o, Me i be serious Christian. We dey road dey come

The real question is how much is cooking gas in your zone/region per kg. I bought N1500/kg in Akwa Ibom this week

The Cooking Pots sef...

But South Africans even beg more than Nigerians at their airports, oh, it's crazy

madridguy:
Alhaji Rabiu should have renew his visa before embarking on the journey.

Kudos to the South African immigration, unlike our own bambiala immigration officers that all they know is to be begging money from both legal and illegal people coming and leaving the country.

No my friend, This is the finger of the ruling party. Even if opposition form a new party, it will be poisoned by the same bacteria. The ruling party knows what there's doing. Can't you see that once Peter Obi left LP, LP now has peace. All storms have calmed and settled BUT as soon as he returned, from nowhere, court injunction, INEC, internal disputes/tustle, leadership crisis will suddenly arise.

We will surely see the end!

opes:
Atiku and his allies should look for another trouble-free political party since they couldn’t form their own. Adopting ADC just because it appears before APC alphabetically on the ballot paper and because the similarity in their acronyms could confuse voters is unnecessary.
There are other options, such as ADP, LP, and even NNPP.

Is it not time Plateau people begin protecting themselves? Are they that lazy and unsmart? Can't they form militia groups or vigilante groups to compliment whatever efforts the law enforcement is doing? Why wait to be wiped off by wicked extremist? What is the local authorities doing to educate and empower the youths and men in self and territorial defence. Do they always have to wait on government to continue using them for photo ops and politicking then small time, some unfortunate people will share 'rice' to the survivors

SwayG:
People just died in jos.

Over 40 killed and over 80 injured.


We can't just move on like nothing happened.


Just because no one you know is a victim currently doesn't mean it won't be your turn tomorrow.

A mother held her dying Son for God's sake.
And no single statement from the feds yet.
Yelewata was forgotten same way.

Omoooo... the best thing you can do is not to chicken out from any form of speaking out or any form of protest. And kick out this govt come 2027.

As for Tems, may God give you the best complimentary husband.
Every good partner deserves a complimentary good partner. Vice-versa.

(Nigerian) Police detention is worse than poverty. You may not appreciate freedom untill its taken from you. But, i join you to curse poverty shaa, Na bastard

Ahaaa! and heat want to kill me in Akwa Ibom. I bathe like 6-8 times daily. Even the water from the running shower is hot- God is indeed great

He must have been through HELL. Would you rather your brother commits suicide? God forbid, I guess. Some women are more deadly than poison in marriage. Men are psychologically wired to endure or tolerate. When they finally explore, they react differently. MY ADVICE: Just provide some psychological/emotional support to him. i feel he needs some re-assurance. He will snap out of it (If you can, step in to do daddy role to his son, he will surely come by- he needs to fix himself from too much toxicity from his spouse). If you can(again) arrange to bring his son to his hideout(new accommodation). I wish y'all well.

Labour party is an ingrate party filled with ungrateful and short sighted politicians. Who knew LP before PO joined the party and breathe life into it.


Let's see how it goes....I perceive BAT is bankrolling these beneficiaries

Even if government disband the Nigerian Police force, they wouldn't still go. The Officers on the road don't read this memo oh. Can't the NPF issue tinted permit onsite (either e-version or hard copy). this will reduce fraud in the process which is the reason law abiding Nigerian are kicking against it

If you can't travel by air, Please re-assess why you are traveling. MUST YOU TRAVEL? DOES IT WORTH IT? Please lets all apply wisdom and run away from anybody that will want to blackmail you with emotions of tempting you to enter road. God forbid, if it reach ransom, they may not be able to afford it. STAY WHERE YOU ARE

I wish the children or spouse or even the judge himself or herself experience the cruelty of these nuisance called masquerade just once. In Uyo, these guys have been a huge source of public and violent disturbance characterized by extortions, open and public threats of safety. If not controlled, this will be a major cause of worry for government.

In Uyo, everyday is masquerade day, every corner including major roads are their locations of operations

I have. Since 2010. You probably have, but you don't know. In health care, for instance, most free services we receive is from the American people like; Malaria, TB, HIV, NCD care, NTD care, etc. They usually don't go loud rather present or project their services under the govt of the day. Abeg give them their flowers

autoez:
Audio money that Americans themselves are using to do money laundering. If you have ever benefited from this aid. Please signify?

Where are law enforcement in all of these. Do we now have a private army? Are we concluding that our law enforcement do not have capacity to confront violence crimes?

Our leaders should begin holding our law enforcement responsible. Like deliver or be fired. No sentiments. If an individual who is not recognised by law or community can pull this, then, come on....

Is Tinubu/APC a cult? Are all members especially the newly defected governors mandated to wear Tinubu's logo as sign or oath of allegiance?

Just curious, ...don't they have female LGA boss (Chairperson): will her husband join (the jamboree) to learn how to advise his wife?

Drug Addict

Is rather sad. I'm forced to pay for parties as part of school fee. It's become part of the system. Ministry of Education should look into this. Same with compulsory exam malpractice fee for students in external exam classes

Eeyaah, food safety no get fuel to chase customer

No, It cannot. Not to discourage you, start first

Don't leave your marriage NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. Stability is key. In the face of crisis, one of your greatest weapon is silence.

Tolerate. Forgive. ignore. Play ur role as a husband and father.

Be firm, assertive and empathic.

Mbok, where are the designated selling centres in Akwa ibom- Abi, Is this the usual government lies? Why not bring back subsidy and open the boarders, suspend some core taxes and excise duties, at least, let the economy, cool down

Nigeria needs system change, not all these nonsenses hardship. An average Nigerian is greedy, corrupt and WICKED- no form of humanity in action.

OlujobaSamuel:
Hmmmmmm, scam don plenty for this nation since, so when she was about to retire in Bayelsa State after getting to the peak of her career, she transferred to the federal civil service so she won't have to retire early

Local man is tired. Is she from Rivers or Bayelsa state?

Yeah, nice experience, i can help recreate the experience for you ...are you interested?

Beremx:
My first flight was to Abuja courtesy of a great friend. It was equally my first time visiting Abuja. I was nervous initially but I became comfortable later. After that flight, I haven't traveled again by flight. Hope to travel and experience it soonest
