Zubby2005: I found some about 20 snails in my backyard which my dad brought from his farm; At first I wanted to eat it till I remembered a nairaland thread about vegetable farming, I am rearing it. Below is my progress which I'll be sharing from day one till the last including vegetables too, enjoy
siofra: I understand this is Nigeria where people are crazy about connections. People think that because you're from their village, you're supposed to give them a free pass. They won't go through the normal process, and when you refuse, they start to hate you and spread rumours about you.
It is happening to me at the place I work. It's becoming too much because I won't budge. Sometimes I feel like crying. How do I get around this? Why won't people just do things the right way I've never expected anything from anyone because they are from my village or because I know them.
I feel like I won't be able to stand my ground any longer.
Regardless of the pressure, do what's right. It will pay off in the long run.
ijustdey: Traders are flocking to the Urals crude blend because they see the Nigerian grades as relatively pricey, with traders reluctant to offload the country’s cargoes.

HITsquad: She was posted on CNN official Instagram account a while ago, which was really great. But the comment section was really irritating! It got flooded by Nigerians as you would expect. But Instead of enjoying the moment as Nigerians, some were busy attacking everyone... playing the race card,accusing the international community of not giving her enough recognition because she was black and African. Seriously?
I don't understand how we think sometimes, why are we making this too much of a big deal? Hilda baci did an amazing job no doubt... She got her message out there too.. she showed the world that there are still positive things about Nigeria, She showed the world the Naija vibes and how supportive Nigerians can be. So we are proud of her... I'm personally proud of her.
But guys please stop overreacting. I don't know exactly what you guys think she did. Bro... She cooked for 100 hours non stop. which is amazing and not an easy task to accomplish.. So she did great! But she is not the first person to do something like that ok, alot of people have already done that in the past... but only slightly fewer hours. Remember say na another person record she dey break like this! And she probably won't hold it forever. (Infact The way you guys are going about this whole thing, person fit vex smash that record much more sooner) So stop acting like she did something "un-doable"...... stop acting like they should hand her over King Charles crown... Or name her among Albert Einstein and Da Vinci. Na only cook she cook it's not like she just discovered the cure for cancer!
Mek we just dey calm down a
Na your reaction? Let people overreact in peace as we don't usually have many good news to celebrate about.
lovediehatelive: I met this pretty homely girl sometimes ago.
She was reluctant the first time I toasted her and won't want to date me. However, I persisted till she succumbed.
She's everything I want in a lady. She didn't want to visit me when we started dating until one day I promised that I won't touch her.
She visited and was so graceful that I thanked the heavens for sending my soul mate to me.
We discussed a bit and I made her feel comfortable because she was really uneasy.
As promised, I didn't touch her. She felt so free that she rested her head on my chest.
The urge to kiss her became so strong, but I resisted.
What's the use of spoiling things now when she can be mine forever?
She later left and we became really close from then.
I was happy because she's madly beautiful yet so down to earth.
I was thinking she is a virgin but I needed to clarify.
So one day, I used talk to bring talk and stylishly told her a bit about some rough life of my past for her to feel uncomfortable.
She later opened up to me about her first kiss and how the guy went on to have sex with her even though he promised her nothing will happen.
She was 19 years then.
Since then she stopped visiting guys and is no longer in contact with the guy.
She swore that she hasn't kissed or had sex since then.
Now she's 23.
The thing is I really deeply love this girl because she's just exactly what I needed. But I promise myself that I will marry a virgin and nothing else.
My love for this girl is beginning to affect my thinking.
Should I ditch her and keep looking for a virgin?
Or should I continue with her?
I'm planning to see her people this December.
As long as she didn't lie and she opened up to you about it, I don't see any problem with that. Don't lose a gem because of something inconsequential
Ebus12: Rumours and false accusations are two things that has become a part of my life. Like always! Always! I have heard rumors of me being a thief. I have heard rumors of me being gay. Heard rumors and has been accused of having an evil spirit and being demon-possessed. Of recent, my neighbor's wife even accused me of wanting to break her marriage, all because I staked a bet with her husband, that if he could successfully woo and get this new girl in our block, I would gift him 10k.
All these rumors and accusations don't shake me though. I see them most times as prophecies. Even if I haven't stolen in my life, I cannot tell what the case will be tomorrow, after all, the only thing holding the sun and the moon is time. I simply wave off that nonsense and see them as words of fools and jobless idiots.
But this recent rumor, which I see as a total witch-hunt, is aimed at giving my destiny helpers a "too-much" positive impression about me. This might make them see me as their destiny helper instead, and that is why I didn't take it, dear diary.
So because I came back last week with a fairly used, and fairly stolen laptop, which I bought 12,320 from a Yoruba vendor in one of the computer villages around, changed my slippers, managed to carve my hair, and shared a packet of milcose for the kids in my compound, news started flying around that I am now a big boy.
-He has started pressing. -He done cash-out. -He just dey fresh -Show me an update nah And so much other rubbish There is nothing I haven't heard, dear diary, these few days.
Recently, these two girls around my street have formed the habit of raising their polo whenever they sight me so that I can have a clearer view of their backsides. In their mind, nah G boy I be.
As usual, I didn't care about any of the rubbish flying around about me, until yesterday when one of the gossip mongers, had the guts to knock at my door, and after hailing me, asked me to 'show him the way', because according to what he heard, God has blessed me. That was the one that made me lose it. That virtue of 'Long suffering' left me immediately and with a very thunderous slap on his left cheek, I asked the mugu who God has blessed. God has blessed me? I slapped the idiot again and asked him "Kingsley, come, who did you say, God blessed? But before I could land a corresponding knock, the demon fled.
Like, these wicked people didn't only stop at denting me before my destiny helpers, but now also want to present me as "Made" before the almighty God. Jesus Christ! Why are people this cruel?
Sponty600: Okay so around last year, exactly this time of the year. I don't know how possible but I observed that flies are following or are attracted to me.
At first it was very minor, I only see them in one or two places.
Fast forward into the last year, it started increasing. I see flies everywhere even in very clean places like churches or banks. I doubt if its a hygiene problem, because I wear clean clothes and maintain personal hygiene. And plus they're dirty people in the society and none of them have never experienced this.
I have experienced this for a year now,despite trying to find a cure to it,it leaves me deeply confused anytime I think of it.
If anyone has experienced similar problem or has any suggestion, please let me hear.

Firstly, i am a student in one reputable state university in this country. So, there is this cleaning company I've been working with for more than 3years now which sustained me. as a street sweeper and student i usually woke up as early as 5am to go to work sweep and clean my lot before 7am and return to prepare for school.
But about 3months ago the state Governor decided to end their contact and bring another company to handle the job. We were lucky part of the contract is that they'd still work with us.
So the new company came in we're very happy that they even increased our salary to 15k per month instead of 12k that we were being paid before. Infact, they also employed more cleaners since they got additional lot.
Sadly, it has been 3month now we're working with this new company but they never paid us a dime and we are about to resume school new session and I have not save anything for registration as I usually do saved 8k every month and manage 4k.
What do you think we shall do
Shall we report then to public complains office or Stage a protest to government house since the state Governor once said in a radio station that he paid the money.
Omo 12 or 15k monthly small gan oh you dey try abeg... that being said, explore other channels of hustle, omo of you dey sell even cloth for your school environs, you suppose make pass that 15k time 2. Just try and look for an alternative before resigning sha... bless up
Failure2019: I just got fired from my job yesterday and I have no idea why, just out of the blue.
Any advice to help with this. I cried on my drive home because I really enjoyed working there and the pay was good. I guess that's what I get for trying to ever make something of myself.
I try to make an honest living as a young man trying to enter the workforce and this is what happens. Is it time to become an unemployed once again?
I feel bleeped. Life is bleeped. I just wanted a nice house, a wife and a little savings I'm the bank. Guess that's not happening
For some reason I don't believe your story. You registered on the 10th of Feb and used the username "Failure2019" while you just got fired yesterday 14th of March. Anyway, since you have a ride, use am do bolt or uber till you secure something else.
Ficklemind: Good evening, please how do I politely tell my married ex to stop bringing back our past memories?
My ex and I separated on good terms, he is AS likewise myself so we had to go on our separate ways. It over 6 years that we separated but we still talk once in a while. I don’t have any feelings for him anymore but I don’t know about him and I don’t have any intention of seeing him either though we are far away from each other.
I don’t want to block him and I don’t want to offend him ,but when I take a picture with a random male friend and I upload it on my status ,he tells me he is jealous that the guy is an idiot for holding me or touching me. Asking for my recent pictures and sending me my old pictures that I don’t even remember existed.
This guy is married with a child. How to I politely tell him to stop all this because I don’t feel comfortable with them.
melonsgroup: My Glass-Top Stove Suddenly Shatters When Not In Use, Shards Fly 5 Metres Into the corridor.. I was in the room when I heard a loud crack from the kitchen due to the tempered glass spontaneously shattering, which sent shards flying five metres away into the corridor.
The glass continued cracking for about 30 minutes until it was fully shattered. I have not used this stove for about a month plus. so the surface was not hot..
I've been there before [code][/code] Please what could be the cause of this.
kanupapilo: Who do you think is the best Nigerian musical artist talentwise?
I am not talking of commercial success the likes of Davido,Rema and Burnaboy have enjoyed. I am talking about raw and natural musical talent that hardly misses with the tracks they release.
My top 5 in order of talent and who create consistently good songs:
Karen2024: I've been living with my maternal aunty and her husband for over two months now and I can testify that the family is good; no quarrels; no disagreements and no form of fight.
My aunty's husband is kind and gentle likewise his wife and they both treat me with care but what disturbs me is that i suspect my aunty is cheating. Whenever my uncle travels she brings in a man and tells me that this is her brother..she would usher him into the bedroom and they'd spend a good time with him before coming out. The man has never visited when her husband is around.
I don't want to reveal it as she'll see it as an act of betrayal but i want her husband to know. How do I go about it?
Kemi has finally spoken in a three minutes YouTube video titled the Adeleke Curse.
Prior to the demise of Davido's son, Dr Kemi Olunloyo an investigative journalist has done a series of videos about the Adelekes most of which puts the family in a bad light.
In this video she told she waited a bit to respect the family as this is ethical in journalism.
Amazingly I heard her say she doesn't mourn or respect the dead.
"I know the Adeleke family so well and will do a YouTube docu-series on generational curses on that family". She is also doing a series on TikTok.
The curse is centred around Davido and he is the only one to break that curse.
She said those trending the child is alive are only chasing clout with the family's bereavement.
Dr Kemi also mentioned she also had a generational curse and broke it in her family.
Apparently Dr Kemi Olunloyo plans to have a series on this topic #TheAdelekeCurse
efelicity: My aunty, that is, the unmarried younger sister to my mother has been with us for over week now, at any time she chose she can just rush into my room without excuse.
I'm a matured guy and she could meet me standing naked at any given time and I'm not bold to tell her.
I've tried to talk to my mother but she was insisting I must not say anything to avoid annoying her sister.
Ehismarkninetee: Before you start to judge me, remember that the girl you are sleeping with now is also someone’s Ex. Well I cannot say I am totally in the right for sleeping with my friends Ex girl friend- They broke up 2 years ago.
So coincidentally she rented an apartment close to my house. As I was driving I saw her on the way I offered her a ride and that was how it started. That same evening she called me that she is coming to know my house and I accepted. When she came I noticed she was giving me the green light. I took the opportunity and slept with her so good.
Now she cannot get enough from me. She asked if we could date officially. I told her it will be difficult since she was the one who broke up with my friend. I will not lie to myself I have developed feelings for here. And I think I will give Love a chance.
