Okay! So God doesn't answer prayers in Nigeria, the most-praying country on earth? The same man who cannot visit states for his own campaign because of the business of governance. The same governance that can wait for foreign trips ba? Nigeria!

Thank God for the safety of the passengers and crew. Flying commercial planes, i observe the ease and nonchalance of the crew members, usually a younger-looking female casually closing the door where I sat; I fear and wonder if the door was properly shut. i assume there will be some indicator in the cockpit to indicate it, just like some vehicles.

...even in our churches, unfortunately

Kai! Not true nah:
1). You settle almost 30% of your collection right in the loading park before departure.
2). You buy fuel and maybe pump tyre with 50% of the same money.
3). You settle police, thugs, and other senior men on the way with 18%.
4). If all things are equal, you go home to face family problems and responsibilities with less than 10%.

Those drivers average 500k monthly as u see them so...some jobs will take away ur gentlemanness

Aldou their money can't be compared with the afore mentioned two categories

My worry is that when they desire to marry, they will transfer to born again Christians and achieve a reserved, godly and upright 'brother' who has his life collected and probably has never smoked.

My point: *Marry your kind when you are ready*

But giving loan more than 20k to someone who by the transaction history may not be responsible enough to pay back?

Involve her Parents and Pastor. My brother, take this very seriously. Life already already have you 4-0 with your 150k Salary and 3 children. Ideally, In this economy, If you are planning to survive, you don't have business with more than a child. People that earn above 1M are struggling with 3children in this economy......Put all necessary pressure

I think Ebonyi state government should also regulate sales or cost of core building materials like Sand, cement and rods.... Nigeria is a capitalist economy. If this regulation is not balanced, implementation will almost be impossible.

Government should also initiate massive low housing across sub cities where they can lead by example thereby crashing the demand and cost for housing

Can all housing agents in the state be registered and licensed FOR FREE? This will help coordination and accountability

Pls let's just focus on his resurrection and ignore his age. Abi Una wan feed him wives wife and children for am?

This is commendable! I salute Mr. President for this intervention. Though an opposition, We must still retain the dignity to applaud where the Government gets it right. LET NIGERIA WIN!

Adding my 2 cents:
When you eventually marry, Take birth control more serious than love [You can read it again]. If you earn less than 500k whether as salary or biz project, limit your self to ONLY ONE CHILD. Society and Church that will keep cheering you will not come through when the bills start coming in. Your quality of life and your family will greatly depreciate (including untimely death) if you have 3 children and above with less than 500K income{That's even depending on your city of residence.

franchasng:
Well done madam.

Please continue with your message, it's a good message that every Nigerian bachelor must take serious.


Being someone that witness the two sides of life in Naija and off on constant basis, I can comfortably tell you that it's not easy for Nigerian men of today, all thanks to failed APC regime. That is why I keep criticizing Tinubu's government anytime I have a chance to say or write a word.


The number of people asking and begging for help to feed, to stay afloat, to pay rent, to pay school fees, etc is now at the rooftop level in Nigeria. Civil servants and presumed working class Nigerians are now like jobless people because their salaries cannot even sustain them for a week if they were to feed properly, cloth properly, house properly and live well. It's a sad situation in Nigeria now and reason every Nigerian irrespective of tribe must take 2027 Presidential election very serious as if he or she is contesting the election to ensure Tinubu is voted out at all cost because he failed woefully and still bragging in his failure without showing any sign of remorse which shows that he would do worst if he returns back for a second tenure.


I keep wondering how a bachelor in Nigeria today will have the courage to get married with the situation of Nigeria's economy.

Traveling interstate in Nigeria by road is now a suicide mission, something we use to take as fun driving from Lagos to East, stopping over at Benin and meeting with hundreds of other travelers, some travelers even catch girlfriends and boyfriends there, while those coming back to Lagos from East stopped at Ore with joy and travelers had fun, the only fear back then was armed robbers and it's only for those traveling at night, but today, interstate travelers now fear kidnappers more than armed robbers yet there is a President.


Nigeria's situation do make me feel so depressed sometimes when I think about it.


Please to all bachelors in Nigeria, please take the Op's advice very serious, don't rush into marriage if you don't have a good and stable income because you will regret your life and the marriage will be a nightmare. You are better off single than enter marriage today with unstable and insufficient income.

I feel America's mistake was to confront Iran directly- They should have continued engaging Iran through Israel.

Same here: What are we still doing there? Is their(our) placenta(destiny) tied in South Africa. COME HOME, LET'S ALL FACE BAD GOVERNMENT AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY through our votes.

Bluna:
I have no sympathy for any Nigerian who still resides in that wicked country

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
