Once an ọmọ ita, always an ọmọ ita

Beautiful.

Those goats that came up with it should even be arrested.
Nonsense!

Some people don't even know how dangerous mosquitoes are... We are just lucky in Africa that many of us have strong immune system against malaria...

THE MOST UNDERRATED KILLER

We fear snakes because they can kill with a bite.

But mosquitoes?

They don't need fangs, venom or strength. Just one tiny bite can deliver a parasite capable of causing severe malaria and death.

That little buzzing insect is responsible for an enormous global burden of disease and death, yet people still say, “It’s just malaria.”

There is nothing “just” about malaria.

We take snake bites seriously because we can see the danger. Mosquitoes are more deceptive. You may not even notice the attack.

And honestly, sometimes I wonder why God created mosquitoes. 😂

One of the smallest creatures on Earth has become one of humanity's most dangerous disease vectors.

Never underestimate a mosquito. 🦟

No rebranding please. Just make it exactly how we knew it. Same taste, same size, same texture and nylon.

Thank you

Trust me, they won't listen. Someone of their genZ employees and now co-owners will advise them to try new things...

You take a video of yourself berating your minor daughter for social media views, exposing her to social media bullies, and you call yourself a good mother?

This is all she knows how to do and there's no big deal there.

RIP legend.

Very common thing... It's in all religion.

Good memory to keep.
Very memorable

This is sad. It's sad to us now because we're in a modern age... To be frank, child marriage should not be presented as an exclusively Islamic or Muslim practice. Islam emerged about 1,400 years ago, but early marriage existed long before Islam and across many civilizations.

Even biblical and pre-modern societies had marriage customs involving very young people. Medieval Christian Europe, for example, traditionally recognised marriage from about 12 for girls and 14 for boys under canon law. Early marriage also existed in parts of Africa, Asia and other cultures.

And it is not just a historical issue or a Muslim-country issue. Child marriage still occurs today in some Muslim-majority countries, but also in predominantly Christian and other religious or secular societies.

Religion can influence the practice in some communities, but culture, poverty, customary law, gender norms, family pressure and social expectations are also major factors.

So let's be intellectually honest: child marriage did not originate with Islam, is not exclusive to Muslims, and cannot be explained by religion alone.
These things are more of a cultural thing than religion.

You that is jobful why can't you Market your house by yourself

Who sent you to the market to look for tenants or market a house for anyone in the first place? Do you honestly think that in this modern age, a landlord still needs an agent to advertise an ordinary house for rent?

As a house owner, I find the whole thing unnecessarily inflated. In many cases, before the house is even completed, prospective tenants are already coming around to make enquiries. And even if there is no prior interest, the simplest thing a landlord can do is put a “TO LET” or “FOR RENT” sign outside the property. It will often take less than 24 hours before calls and enquiries start coming in.

So what exactly is the agent contributing apart from inserting themselves between the landlord and tenant, collecting fees from both sides, and ultimately making accommodation more expensive for the person who actually needs the house?

I honestly struggle to understand why people present ordinary house agency as some indispensable profession. It is one of those jobs that largely survives because of unemployment, opportunism and greed rather than because there is always a genuine need for the service.

And the irony is that tenants are the ones who ultimately suffer. The landlord wants a certain rent, then an agent adds agency fees, agreement fees, inspection fees and all sorts of other charges. By the time the tenant gets the keys, an otherwise affordable apartment has become ridiculously expensive.

Not every activity that creates income is necessarily useful or productive. Some middlemen simply create an extra layer between two people who could have dealt directly with each other. House agency, especially for straightforward rental properties, is often a perfect example.

If a landlord can advertise the property directly and a tenant can inspect it, agree on the rent and pay the landlord directly, why create an entire industry whose biggest achievement is making the process more expensive and frustrating?

At some point, we need to stop glorifying every form of middlemanship as a “job” and start asking whether the service actually adds value.
I SINCERELY HATE IT WHEN I SEE SOME PEOPLE PRESENT THEMSELVES AS HOUSE AGENTS.

I am glad for this reaction.

I did not want to mention that right around the unmentioned area and city, there are some Nigerians selling the same plate for 30, 25 and 20 k translated into naira.

You can even get their fried rice for 35k or so. The point here is how profit can kill people and businesses not only at home but abroad.

Nigerian restaurants compete with Japanese, Chinese, Thai and other ethnic restaurants abroad. In most, I say most of these ethnic restaurants, you can eat and get a drink for 20k naira.

Yet, they make more money than Nigerian restaurants. This is the same mentality we have in Nigeria until Mama Put E, Isiewu and Amala joints became popular.

The profit margin of Nigerian businesses, both foreign and local are outrageous! Mainly because there is a niche of people willing to pay, making life difficult for average Nigerian.

The same businesses that complained about importation of foreign rice, jacked up their the price after foreign rice was banned. Go to neighboring African countries, prices of Nigerian products are cheaper.

Some guys will come out quoting labor, taxes, transportation etc costs that are in fact cheaper in Nigeria, to justify outrageous prices.

In short, we are greedy and to much in a hurry too make money everywhere. We must learn how Chinese products capture the world while we ridicule our Okrika and Ijebu mades.

What's with all these quotes in naira? I really don't understand some you people's problems, honestly.

googi:
I visited a Nigerian restaurant in Canada and I was charged over 35,000 naira for just a plate of Jollof rice!

Who can I tell at home, certainly not my wife.

Are you okay?
Did you pay in naira or they spend naira in Canada?

Sonofgod1990:
Eyaaa. I remembered helping him with about 70 million naira last year for his medical treatment. Rip Sir

Is that so?

Country of lazy evil and envious savages.
The number of people those savages have murdered this year alone is unimaginable and their government is also aiding and facilitating them.
Shame

Can't they be shot at sight?
These are the real terrorists.

Na you carry another person matter put for head na. You think if you don't send money, they'll die?
The reality is that, anyone in your life can actually be the weapon fashioned against you in this regard, including your parents, spouses, siblings etc.

MOST PEOPLE SEE AND USE PEOPLE LIVING ABROAD AS PERSONAL ATM.

Every month, the manipulation starts.

“My rent is due.”
“There is no food.”
“I’m sick.”
“Things are very hard.”
“Please, just send something.”
“If you don’t help me, I don’t know what will happen.”

Meanwhile, the same people receiving the money are sometimes living more comfortably and luxuriously than the person sending it from abroad.

The person abroad is working long hours, paying bills, dealing with taxes, rent, transportation, stress and the pressure of surviving in another country. Yet somebody back home is sitting comfortably, making demands and behaving as if their survival depends entirely on another person's next transfer..

Some of these people are not actually helpless. They have simply discovered that emotional manipulation works.

They know you will feel guilty.
They know you will panic when they say they are suffering.
They know you don't want to hear that someone went hungry because you refused to send money.

So they keep asking.

And because you keep sending, they never learn to stand on their own.

The truth is, whether you send money or not, most of these people will still wake up tomorrow, eat something, move around, make plans and live their lives. They may complain. They may become angry. They may even make you feel like the worst person alive.

But they will survive.

So stop destroying your own finances trying to maintain somebody else's comfort.

Helping people is good. Being exploited is not.

Send money when you genuinely can. Help when there is a real need. But don't bankrupt yourself because somebody has mastered the art of making you feel guilty.

If your absence of money would supposedly make someone collapse, but your presence of money keeps making them comfortable without ever becoming independent, you may not be helping them anymore. You may simply be financing their dependence.

Imagine the audacity!
Someone will struggle to build a house, and one jobless fool will come around and Parade himself as house agent and want to collect up to 30-60% or more of the actual house rent as agency fee!!!
On top another man's house!
THIS IS NOTHING BUT PURE EVIL AND THOSE GUYS SHOULD BE BANND.

They should come to Lagos and witness what happens when a government abandons its responsibility and allows everyone to operate without consequences.

Imagine being able to buy a fully furnished house in the UK or USA for around ₦100 million, yet in Lagos, that same amount can struggle to get you a decent property in many areas.
Mostly for the rubbish low value and low quality nonsense they're building.
Rent has become outrageous, arbitrary charges are everywhere, and ordinary people are being squeezed from every direction.

And then we have the so-called “house agents.” Some of them are nothing more than professional extortionists operating with absolutely no accountability. They inflate prices, manufacture ridiculous charges, collect money from desperate tenants, and sometimes make an already terrible housing situation even worse.

The landlords are not innocent either. Some have turned accommodation into a weapon of exploitation, increasing rent to whatever figure they please simply because they know people have nowhere else to go.

But let's be brutally honest: the biggest culprit is government.

A government that refuses to properly regulate the housing market, control exploitative practices, protect tenants, and enforce reasonable standards is effectively giving these people permission to prey on the public.

If government has the power to regulate banks, schools, transport operators and businesses, it certainly has the power to regulate the housing market.

People should not have to spend their entire income just to have a roof over their heads.

Housing is a basic necessity, not a playground for greedy landlords, opportunistic agents and an irresponsible government.

Lagos needs a serious housing reform, not more excuses.

Which kain arrogance be dat? Why will you slap your fellow competitor?

Dey play

No be only juju
Person wey dem use.

Una dey see how dem dey always emphasize minimum of 2.1 (Second Class Upper)? School na scam?

Moral lesson:
Try graduate well and get good grades. Good grades may not be enough to help you keep a job, but at least, they can help you get the job in the first place.

So, while school no be everything, your academic performance still matters.

Nothing like Yahoo or anything else is really “folding up.” Criminals will always exist, and unfortunately, people will always fall victim to scams. Lazy and evil people will always exist too. Some people want to enjoy the benefits of life without putting in the work, enduring the struggle, or earning their way there, and they will go to almost any length to achieve that. The platforms may change, but greed, laziness, and criminality are not going anywhere.

Lol
This is so funny

But seriously, cannabis is not so an hard drug, it's even legal in many countries.

Wow
Natural disaster can be very catastrophic

Ebola of many years ago is still pandemic to DR Congo. What is happening in Congo?

Saturnalia:
What is Putin waiting for? Russia should respond with a brigade of Iskander-M Ballistics.

Calculated move... Russian is always sizing things up...

The drone strikes by Ukraine many times seem evil and cruel to me... The Russian mass bombing too is cruel... But all is fair in war... That's what they say.

All I can say is:
Think Twice Before Giving Politicians a Second Tenure.
It is increasingly advisable to think twice before giving any politician a second tenure.
History has shown that, in too many cases IN NIGERIA, a second term becomes less about serving the people and more about protecting personal interests, consolidating power and securing a legacy.

Once politicians believe they have little or nothing to lose, accountability often gives way to arrogance, brutality and authoritarian behaviour. They become less concerned about public opinion because they know the people have already given them another mandate.

A second tenure should be earned, not assumed. If a politician has failed the people in their first term, don't reward failure with another four years. Sometimes, the most powerful vote is the vote that says enough is enough.

I wish Osun State, my state well.
