S/N African country Legislation Status
1 Malawi Legalized officially for industrial, medical use and export. Recreational use is prohibited.
2 Zambia Legalized officially for export and medicinal purposes. Recreational use is prohibited.
3 South Africa Medical and recreational use of cannabis are legal (officially).
4 Zimbabwe Legalized officially for medical use and not recreational use.
5 Lesotho Legalized officially for medical use and export. Recreational use is prohibited.
6 Ghana Prohibited for recreational use but legal for medical and industrial purposes.
7 Morocco Prohibited for recreational use but legal for medical and industrial purposes
8 Rwanda Legalized medical cannabis for export and medical use
9 Uganda Legalized solely for exports.
Granted but when commercial production is given free reins, I can easily forecast a worse drug epidemic because we have lacking resources on control.

There are many other valuable cash crops we produce but our export is still weak not due to production but bureaucratic bottle necks leading to higher rates of circumvention (e. g. smuggling). With cannabis, it won't be long until we have cartels controlling territories and matter of cultism will become a joke in comparison.

Weed is also a gateway drug to it's bigger brothers (Heroin and Fentanyl)

I find it very difficult to believe that in the 21st century there is a government agency on cannabis. Other countries are harnessing the benefits of cannabis why the black man is demonizing it
Why don't you advise your people to go to these "other countries" and cultivate all the marijuana they want?

They step up the taxes/revenue drive and then share it among themselves.

The billions only stop at the LG level and then goes into bogus contracts, adminstrative fees, official cars and what not. Salaries still remains unpaid and healthcare inadequate.

They are both e90 series. If you're unsure of the nomenclature, call it the simple BMW 328, 325 or whatever.

Anyone who recognises the f30 nomenclature woull call you out immediately.

This is egbesin 100%. Not any other thing these people are calling it grin

It happened to me in childhood.

I've forgotten the local treatment but I can ask my aunt.

I remember rubbing palmoil and bitter leaf juice on it. Some people recommended kerosene and something else back then. This is a long time ago.

Palmwine is also effective.

If you're in the South West, ask around for a solution. It's not so hard to get.

SarkinYarki:
Not everyone must raise chickens , the fact is that Nigeria farmers have been given unfair chances many times and you all blow the chance ...They protected fish farmers what did we get , dirty poisonous catfish at over hiked prices , nobody even tried to raid proper fish , rice importation was banned for 10 years , what did we get prices hikes on local rice from 8 k a bag to 100k ... If you think you are great farmers then compete with imports
If the logic is to compete with imports, then I wonder why Trump for example would renege on the Mexican agreement for Tomatoes.

You think its a joke. Continue until the money your president is using to import food and flood the market becomes so worthless that imported food also comes in at unaffordable prices.

Back in the day, we run to Contonou to buy tokunbo cars because they're cheaper. Now that the CFA is edging so close to the naira, our eyes are opening.

There was a ban on poultry for 20 years , what came out of it than the unfair hikes by Nigerian poultry farmers?
No one stops you from raising your own layers. Besides, this is a Nigerian thing that's also common in other industries like the car industry for example.

Import is still open but Nigerians are selling 10 years abused cars for 5 times the price they bought it

Very valid.
Import isn't a sustainable way to keep agriculture cheap for everyone, but I must include the notorious nature of our middle men in Nigeria. Without a price control board, even if we have high yield, be sure to know it would still be expensive.
I believe in the free market particularly as local regulatory bodies have always failed at keeping a price limit like their global counterparts. Farming is not a regulated profession and anyone can engage in it.

Give it a year at most and prices would fall. This is assuming other critical factors like fuel price, input price and security of land for farming is accessible.

Buhari closed border so that we can be self sufficient in food production instead make food come down, it increased significantly.

Nigeria farmers hoard market to create scarcity for increased profits.

When buhari government gave loan for local rice production, instead of selling to Nigerian market, they began to rebag it to foreign bags and selling to neighboring countries.

They ban the importation of frozen chicken from neighboring countries, chicken became 25k - 30k. Instead of making fair profit, they Farmers increased their price so highly and as per closed border, you are only at their mercy.

Never again.
Did you figure what would happen borders remained closed and food prices rise?

Well, more people would go into farming for one because it becomes necessary and profitable. And just in case you don't know, apart from oil, it is the biggest employer of labour in our developing economy that has little industrialisation.

Instead of finding better ways of subsidizing production and tackling insecurity head on, your president is applying bandages upon bandages to a wound that's already festering by opting for short term import options.

I can boldly say that even though we have a large population and large market in Nigeria, our poor purchasing power strips away that advantage, thereby inhibiting industrial development (improved product quality) and making the country retarded and backwards.

Only big expatriate companies can afford to operate on a big scale and utilize the economy of scale to sell a low price points that Nigerians can afford and you won't have any Nigerian company giving them a run for their money because they are backed by stronger currency. This is all the way across Mtn, ShopRite, Nestlé, Olam, Presco, Dangote refinery. Even Tomato Jos is funded by VC.

Imagine being paid ₦5k to drive hundreds of kilometres throughout a while day. You still pay your transport out of this and probably feeding as well leaving you with maybe 2,500 as your daily pay. Not to talk of back pain, ass pain and not having your personal time.

To call a plumber to check your sink alone is ₦5k and it takes less than 1 hour and a stroll. Danfo drivers make much much more sef.

This is the poverty we talk about in Nigeria.

A friend bought this same 07 sport Naija used 1.8m in 2021. Yes that's 4 years ago and Nigeria has gone to the gutters but calling almost 9m for a 2007 is wishful thinking.

It's your car anyway. Do with it as you wish.

This one na normal instinct for men nah. Too many oestrogens in our foods that reduced manliness is what made this look strange.
Our ancestors protected their many wives and children by going round the compound with machete in hand in the night while the women and children slept to defend against invaders.
Matchete in hand right. Goodluck defending against 20 robbers in one night.
Family › Re: Habit Of Waking Up Always To Check My Family At Night. by laivwire(m): 12:42pm On Sep 14, 2025
Too extreme in my opinion. I don't wake up every hour and disrupt my sleep which I need importantly.

The upside is once I'm past the REM phase, I wake easily in response to any strange sound. I also ensure all security measures are put in place before sleeping.

If I don't take care of myself, how will I take care of my family?

An uncle long time ago secured contracts from the state govt to construct roads. I won't mention the state but an opposing governor won the election case and took over mid term rescinding many contracts.

This situation nearly brought my uncle to his knees. Going to Abuja almost every 2 weeks to fight for his money.

When you dine with the government, do it with a long spoon. They can give juicy contracts and they can give you hell as well.

My kids school doubled (100%) the fees last January. They doubled it once again this September. That's 300% increase in less than a year.

Only admins can comment on Whatsapp groups now, parents are muted and the PTA chairman is overwhelmed. Proprietor said the teachers are being poached to other schools because their take home salary cannot take them home anymore.

Absolutely appalling.

Nigerians

Where I live, there's a condition on second hand products bought through classified ads like Jiji. If the item breaks down within a stipulated period of like 3 months, the seller is liable for the damages as long as it's no fault of the buyer. In this scenario, you won't be doing wicked things like this or better still, sell under full disclosure but I guess this won't be your intention.

Lazy9jaYouth:
Nothing wrong with paying tax, the real question is; Will it be utilized appropriately?
Quit all these type of talk. Has Nigeria given you any benefits? Unemployment benefits, subsidised housing, free quality education? healthcare? Good roads? Cheap power? Affordable transport? Water?

We pay for everything and yet they tax us for our sweat and suffering.

We can't control their looting but they should please not disturb those of us who are minding our business. We didn't collect anything from Nigeria, they should stop extorting us as well.
