Happy New Month.

Career › Re: I'm At A Dilemma by lavylilly: 5:39pm On Aug 31

elimsun:
Good day everyone. I'm currently teaching in two schools as a part time teacher plus doing tutorials and private lessons will give me a monthly take home of 250-300k. I recently got an offer from another school for the position of a full time teacher for a pay of 200k with accommodation.
The good side about this offer is that, the money comes in bulk, compared to my other schools where it comes in parts and not always at once.
Please, kindly advise on what to do. I'll appreciate all criticism as well.. thank you

My Take: Don’t Rush to Leave Your Current Arrangement

Honestly, I would be careful about accepting the ₦200k full-time offer simply because the money comes in bulk.

From what you’ve explained, your current combination of two part-time teaching jobs, tutorials and private lessons can bring you ₦250k–₦300k monthly, which is already higher than the ₦200k salary. The key question is whether the accommodation significantly reduces your living expenses and whether your current income is stable enough.

I would look at it this way:

- Current arrangement: ₦250k–₦300k, but income is fragmented and sometimes delayed.
- New offer: ₦200k + accommodation, with more predictable payment and potentially less stress from transportation/rent.
- Hidden cost: Full-time work may prevent you from continuing your tutorials and private lessons, which could actually be your most profitable income stream.

Before deciding, find out the actual value and conditions of the accommodation, working hours, workload, number of students/classes, holidays, and whether you're allowed to do private lessons outside school hours.

Personally, if the accommodation saves you a substantial amount every month and the current schools are unreliable with payments, I might consider the ₦200k offer for stability, but I would first negotiate. You could ask for ₦250k or ₦200k plus some additional allowances.

Also, don't make the mistake of comparing ₦300k received in bits with ₦200k received at once purely based on how it feels. What matters is your net monthly income, expenses, stability and long-term growth.

If your current ₦250k–₦300k is reasonably consistent, I'd probably keep the current arrangement and work on making the tutorials/private lessons more structured and reliable.

Family › Re: “my Dad Gives Me ₦1k–₦2k Every Day” — Jobless Nigerian Lady Explains Why She Enj by lavylilly: 5:38pm On Aug 31

EmmyMaestro:
“My dad gives me ₦1k–₦2k every day” — Jobless Nigerian lady explains why she enjoys staying at home

A jobless lady has shared how her father’s financial support has made her reconsider plans to move out of her family home.

The lady revealed that despite being unemployed, her father gives her between ₦1,000 and ₦2,000 daily from Monday to Saturday, in addition to providing her with free meals.

According to her, she is sometimes able to save ₦10,000 or more every week, provided she controls her cravings and avoids unnecessary spending.

Lady explains why she prefers staying with her father

The young woman said she had initially considered moving out but quickly changed her mind whenever she remembered the financial support and free food she currently enjoys at home.

She said, “I wanted to move out of the house, but whenever I remember the free money and free food I get at home, omo, I change my mind immediately.”

The lady noted that she was unsure who would provide her with the same level of support once she moved out.

She added, “Because who wants to give me free money and free food again outside? Abeg, I’m staying here.”

Lady expresses gratitude to her father

The Nigerian lady expressed deep appreciation for her father, describing his support as something she does not take for granted.

She said she hopes to secure a good job soon and become financially independent enough to spoil her father in return.

She stated, “I’m forever grateful to my daddy. I love him so much. I can’t wait to get a good job and start spoiling Baba Rose the way he deserves.”

Her story has highlighted the different ways young Nigerians navigate unemployment and financial dependence while living with their parents.

Check the post below…

Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with her decision. If her father is willing and able to support her while she looks for a job, why rush out just to prove a point?

Moving out comes with rent, food, transportation, electricity, internet, and countless other expenses. If she can stay at home, save some money, avoid unnecessary financial pressure, and use that period to work towards getting a good job, there’s nothing shameful about it.

The important thing is that she shouldn’t become too comfortable with dependence. She should use the opportunity as a stepping stone—save what she can, build her skills, apply for jobs, and prepare herself for independence.

And honestly, having a parent who supports you during a difficult period is a blessing. Not everyone has that privilege. Instead of mocking her, we should appreciate the fact that she recognizes her father’s sacrifice and wants to repay him when she becomes financially stable.

Sometimes, staying home isn't laziness. It can simply be choosing wisdom over unnecessary pressure.

Thank you for you response. The plumber is telling me he could connect the pipe from the first tank where the bore is connected to and use the floating switch on the second tank. I think this your method should work.

mosak:
You can use both floating switch and floating valve. you connect the floating valve to the main tank receiving the water from the borehole, connect the floating switch to the second tank.

I would give you feedback.

11 have been rescued.

YoungLionken:
For some reasons, the woman with kids and the other woman on the Lord's Chosen Mopol apron were asked (by the kidnappers) to go. I can't wait for the woman's testimony . Some of you who doubted and made mockery of their past testimonies would at least agree with this one now that it has evidence ..

As for the corps members, I believe most of them are the Tiktok genZs who take nothing serious if it's not for Tiktok likes and views. (I find it disgusting that many of these lots don't know a considerable amount of information about their government and governance)Why, because someone who's conversant with the current affairs of the nation would immediately reject (I know of a young man who did this) after being posted by NYSC. I remember the genZ's protest against their corrupt government in Nepal sometime ago and today, the country is gradually having a lift economically and in governance..

However, I pray for their speedy release, from the claws of those political monsters!!

2027 will be the year I will truly know if Nigerians want a positive change for us and future generations or not! Many Nigerian youths are living below average but still think they have something to lose if they stood their grounds against this evil government, hence the cowardice; "I no wan die, I no wan fight, I wan enjoy life.." By Fela. But whereas, someone in US prison is in a far better condition than the average Nigerian today...

Please, I need a plumber/electrician who can help automate my water pumping system.

I have a pumping machine supplying water to tanks, but the tanks are located in different places. I currently have to manually switch the pumping machine on and off, which is inconvenient.

I’m looking for someone experienced who can install an automatic pumping/control system that will detect when the tanks need water and stop the pump when they are full, even though the tanks are in different locations.

If you’re a plumber, electrician, or water-pumping technician who has experience with this type of setup, please recommend yourself or someone reliable.

Location: Lagos
Please send me a DM or leave your contact. Thank you.

I think this cart pushers operate in areas where the government neglect a lot. If the government accredited waste managers are serious with their duty and always on time to dispose wastes, the streets will not be this messed up in Lagos. In areas where these waste trucks pass once in a blue moon, how do you expect them to dispose their waste? Nobody will listen to this advice if a better alternative is not put in place already.

Serious which duty? They haven't been to an area in Ogba for the past two months.

Entertainment › Re: Young African Boy Stuns Viewers With Incredible Rope-walking Skill by lavylilly: 5:30pm On Aug 29

This is more than just a boy walking on a rope; it is a reminder of how much raw talent exists across Africa that never gets discovered. Look at the confidence, concentration, balance and body control of this young boy. There is no fancy stage, no expensive equipment, no professional coach standing beside him — just a rope, a few trees and an audience from his community. Yet he is doing something that requires serious skill, practice and courage.

This is why we need to stop assuming that talent only exists where there are good facilities and structured programmes. Africa has millions of gifted young people whose abilities are being developed in the most ordinary and unexpected environments.

The real question is: how many children like this are out there whose talents may never be seen beyond their streets?

Instead of only admiring such videos when they go viral, we should think about how to identify, encourage and develop these talents. With the right mentorship, training and opportunities, a child performing a street stunt today could potentially become a professional gymnast, circus performer, acrobat, athlete or entertainer tomorrow.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

That is why discovering and investing in Africa's young talents should be taken seriously. Sometimes, the next great talent is not waiting in a sophisticated academy — he may simply be standing on a rope somewhere on a dusty African street.

ogugwa1992:
Beyond the Noise: How NSA Ribadu’s Washington Engagement Is Yielding Results for Nigeria’s Counter-Terrorism Effort

https://www.facebook.com/share/19L23hCpKp/?mibextid=wwXIfr

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging genuine progress in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, and any successful rescue of hostages or neutralisation of terrorists should be welcomed. But this piece reads more like a victory speech than a sober assessment of Nigeria’s security situation.

The real question is not how many commanders were reportedly killed or how many meetings were held in Washington. The question is: Are ordinary Nigerians significantly safer today?

If the answer is yes, then the evidence should be visible beyond military briefings and official statements. Communities should be able to farm without fear, highways should be safer, schools should remain open, villages should stop being attacked and mass kidnappings should become the exception rather than a recurring headline.

Also, battlefield figures such as “1,000 terrorists eliminated” or “more than 200 ISIS fighters killed” should be treated carefully. These are largely official claims, and in any counter-insurgency, independent verification matters. A dead commander is certainly a tactical success, but terrorism is a network. Unless recruitment, financing, weapons supply and territorial influence are disrupted, another commander can simply take his place.

The same applies to the 308 people rescued. It is an extraordinary operation and deserves commendation, but we should also ask how 308 people ended up being held in a forest for months in the first place. Prevention is more important than celebrating rescue after citizens have already suffered.

And while U.S. intelligence, drones, satellite imagery and training can strengthen Nigeria's capabilities, foreign assistance cannot substitute for effective Nigerian institutions. Intelligence failures, poor coordination, porous borders, corruption, inadequate policing and the absence of government presence in vulnerable communities remain fundamentally Nigerian problems that Nigeria must solve.

The terrorism convictions are also worth examining beyond the headline number. Convictions are important, but justice is not measured by volume alone. The quality of evidence, fair trials, humane detention and the distinction between genuine terrorists and innocent suspects must remain central.

So yes, let us commend Ribadu, Musa, the military, intelligence agencies, police and their international partners when they genuinely save lives and dismantle terrorist networks. But let us not confuse operational activity with victory.

Nigeria has been fighting terrorism for more than a decade. What Nigerians need now is not another impressive list of operations, commanders killed, meetings held and communiqués issued. They need measurable, sustained improvements in their daily security.

The ultimate scoreboard is simple: fewer attacks, fewer kidnappings, fewer displaced families, safer roads, safer farms and communities that can sleep without fear.

Until those numbers consistently move in the right direction, it is too early to declare that Nigeria has found a new security method. We may be seeing progress—but progress is not the same thing as victory.

ginggerxy:
Well would you classify this team and been physical now? Where would you categorize this team?. You cant have a very predictable team and not be out performed by any one, this has been my worries about that team and unfortunately my fears has come to pass mostly as the team can not keep the ball and cant make any impressive mid-field network with the upfronts its just some merry go-round for a team that has spent over £600m for a calendar year. This is untypical of the liverpool i have supported for over 20yrs, no dynamism in the team,no pressing, no long passes, no heavy metal we are known for. i have watched liverpool through some of our worse period but ,i can understand when a club is going through a rough stage than when its spending heavily to dominate and still get kicked about by some low table performers its really painful. I fully understood when we had to let go off top talents so that the club can survive during their financial crises

I think we need to be careful not to confuse a team being out of rhythm with a team lacking quality or physicality. We’ve spent heavily, yes, but spending £600m doesn’t automatically mean the team will instantly click, especially when there are significant changes in personnel and a new manager trying to impose his ideas.

I agree that the football hasn’t looked like the Liverpool we’re used to. The pressing has been inconsistent, the midfield hasn’t controlled games the way it should, and at times we’ve looked too predictable. That’s worrying, particularly against teams we should be dominating.

But I wouldn’t write this team off after a few poor performances. Klopp’s Liverpool also went through periods where we looked vulnerable and predictable before things eventually came together. The difference now is that expectations are understandably much higher because of the money spent.

The real issue for me isn’t whether the players are physical enough; it’s whether the midfield has the balance, intensity and chemistry to support the attack and protect the defence. If that doesn’t improve, then all that spending will mean very little.

We can criticize what we’re seeing without pretending the squad has suddenly become poor. Give the manager time to get the system right, but equally, he has to show us something soon. Liverpool fans have every right to demand better.

Never been a fan of hiring a manager from a smaller side. We look like a team in transition. Unbelievable.

I understand the frustration, but judging Iraola simply because he came from a smaller club is unfair. Every top manager started somewhere, and managing a less-established side can actually show how well a coach develops players, builds a system, and gets results without unlimited resources.

The bigger issue is whether the manager has the right players, squad balance, and time to implement his ideas. If the team looks like it’s in transition, that doesn’t automatically mean the manager is the problem. Sometimes you have to give the project time before writing it off.
