Honda and leg problems na 5 & 6

Well maintained they’re great vehicles, and the leg won’t have issues. Just check it whenever you’re servicing the car. The key is preventive maintenance.

I had one for 8 years and never for once did they leg pull. Also I’ve seen Siennas and other Toyotas leg pull.

Mr. Gbadebo,

1. How do you plan on getting the cooperation of miscreants and thugs in the city when you become governor? Because that’s a potential security issue for the state when you gain power from APC clutches.

2. I wish you all the best

Well spoken.

odigbosky:
As someone who voted for Obi and Supports Obi, I knew they wouldn't allow him win. I know politics too well. I am only surprised that they can go to some real discouraging length to do this.

An example is saying that Tinubu wins Rivers state. Even if you say Tinubu gets 25% there I will respect the game as. Politician. Saying Tinubu wins Rivers state is like an insult to the electoral process. You don't play the game that way.

Let's call a spade a spade.
I am very happy that someone who they talked down on and rubbished so much everyday on the internet as having no structure has done a tsunami style of destruction to everyone in the political structure.

Deep down in your heart you will respect Peter Obi. No governor, no councilor, no house of reps members, no senator just three months ago. Today the obscure LP that went vague since Mimiko left it has never had it this big again till now.

It is a victory for me.
Whoever the next President becomes, mostly likely Tinubu, should work very hard.

First to heal the nation
Secondly to make the nation start working again.

Tinubu's victory when announced is a pyrrich victory. Hence I expect him to play real sportsmanship and extend a hand of friendship across everywhere. If he continues to see himself as a Yoruba and APC national leader only, then this country would be worse than it is today.

I hope the Labor Party can finally build on it's gains. Keep the momentum. Ensure discipline amongst some of its members who won elections in the goodwill of Obi. Work with other party to serve as a very good opposition in the HOUSE and also everywhere and also work extra harder to make inroads into the far North.

As for the PDP, they should sit down and blame all their losses on their delegates who would chose Dubai Dollar than salvaging their party. Their once very big party has been shredded the more. They should go back home and sit down and tell themselves the truth. They were never ready for this election. Since 2015 they always went into every election divided than the previous one. It is a spiritual problem for them.


I wish Nigeria goodluck
I think at my age now, I do not have the power anymore to actively push for political change. I have achieved some success in it. It's time to become a full family man now. Let the very young ones now pick up the responsibility to make sure we have a better political system. You can't change a government through the gun, only through the ballot. It's flawed but we have no other option.

INEC recruitment strategy is the biggest election rigging process in this country. INEC and the ruling party are so close that they share ad-hoc staff members. Inec recruits half, the leading party recruits the other half. This is the cause of the rigging you're seeing in this election. I think Bvas tried in a way.


I am fully Obidient
I am from Edo state.
God bless Nigeria.

I didn’t know that Ireti Kingibe Labour Party Senatorial candidate was igbo. Wow!

flokii:
I just hope there won't be serious clashes in Abuja and environs. LP picked all Igbo candidates in Abuja and Lagos neglecting Gwaris and Yorubas. Not even one from the aborigines

I don't think the Northerners will accept Igbos taking their rep and senate seats for FCT. Na serious wahala dey come so.

Gwaris are still agitating that they want Governor, senators and reps of Gwari roots in FCT, now this..

I can’t imagine what you and your sisters are going through. Please visit a government hospital and ask for counseling.

magmaxmagma:
3 weeks ago, My two sisters in Uni (One is already planning on getting married) came to visit due to the strike.

Armed men 4 in total broke into our house around 1 am, I woke up after hearing a heavy bang, they are already in the parlour, at gunpoint they asked me to bring all my laptops, money and valuables, the robbers forced me and my sisters (unfortunately in night clothes) to the master room, they tore their dresses, in turns they forcefully raped them, I begged and cried for them to stop but one of them smashed my head with the gun and told me if i move he would shoot me in the head.

I haven't been able to sleep and my sisters are so traumatized, I couldn't do anything to help but watch them cry while these monsters raped them. i am so depressed and unhappy, how can i move on from this sad event?

pretydiva:
this was how my neighbour lost his finger in February . Unfortunately the doc said the finger couldn't be fixed. The healthcare system in this country is zero walai

Lol! Exactly what I just said

Imagine this was Nigeria. That finger don go be that

Mikester:
I’m almost halfway through being 21, an age I’m legally an adult and a man. Having emerged from the tangled forest of adolescence I’ve learned many lessons. I learned a lot of them through watching other people. Some I just figured out through wisdom and insight and some were learned through trial and errors.

Not saying I'm an expert though but I want to pass this wisdom down to fellow young guys like me hopefully they have a bit more of a roadmap to help guide them than I did.


1. Some people should be kept at arm’s length.

It’s a good thing to show love and compassion to people. It's good to be friendly but it’s also important to understand who should be in your inner circle and who you should keep at a distance or even avoid. Proverbs 13:20 says, “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.” Destructive people are out there. The sooner you spot who they are and where they should fit in your life the better.

2. Forgive.

People are going to do you wrong and hurt you. No matter what you do, you will be hurt by someone at some point and that’s often out of your control but what you do in the aftermath is entirely in your hands. Holding grudges never does anyone any good. It’s self destructive and can even seep over into relationships that have nothing to do with the person who hurt you. That said, that doesn’t mean that you should necessarily let them back into your life right after. Forgiveness is about letting go of the hurt and grudge, not about completely forgetting and pretending it didn’t happen.

3. First impressions are more important than you can imagine.

You only have a chance to make a good impression, so putting your mind toward it is always your best option. From dressing decently and speaking articulately to standing tall and making eye contact. The way you present yourself is the way people will see you and the way people see you will determine how they treat you and the opportunities they give you. Make sure you make a powerful impression.

4. It’s good to take risks and be bold.

Most of the best things in life usually comes with a risk. Know how and when to take risks. Be wise and strong enough to invest where necessary and be bold enough to take on challenges you encounter.

5. Being real is more important than being posh.

“You’re such a genuine guy,” is my favorite compliment. This to me is so much better than being told I’m posh. Real people see, recognize and are drawn to authenticity. Believe it or not, most people, especially girls, can tell exactly when you’re faking or trying too hard. If you want to draw the right people to you, then just be real with yourself and them, instead of putting up a facade in order to look cool or to be accepted. Being cool is for a moment, but authenticity lasts for a lifetime.

Simply put, don't chase people - man or woman, rather be yourself and invest more in yourself and the right people will come around you. Chasing people leads you to the wrong people and puts you at a huge loss.This also applies to relationships

6. Don't do drugs

Drugs make your mind perverted and your sense of judgement corrupted not to talk of the terrible health effects of drug intake. It's not for men with ambition to take drugs, give drugs to men who have decided to wallow in mediocrity and scornful living.

Moreover smoking causes impotence in men. Hope you quit smoking after reading this.

7. Other people can’t heal or fix you.

Your friends, family and romantic relationships can help you. They can speed up the healing process, support you when things are bad and guide you towards where you should go. They can reveal truths to you that maybe you couldn’t see. But in the end, when dealing with deep internal wounds and life establishment, no one can actually fix you. That part is on you and your God.

8. The world doesn’t owe you anything.

You’re not owed stuff and things simply by virtue of existence. Life tends to give back what you put into it. The people who always get the most seem to be in my experience, those who give the most freely. So, instead of walking around with an entitled mindset, try to figure out what you can contribute.

9. Just because it “feels right” doesn’t mean it is.

A lot of people will abandon their previously set moral boundaries because something “feels right.” Sometimes things feel right in the moment and are simply destructive in the long run. Feelings are important but acting out entirely on them is a path to destruction.

10. The future is a reality.

You’ll hear a lot about “live in the present,” and you definitely should, but living in the present also comes with the responsibility of making choices right now that will affect your tomorrow. Living in the present is not permission to live like tomorrow doesn’t exist because when it comes around, it can be a rude awakening.

11. Control your sexual urges

Sex isn't everything. It has no profit nor reward. Early and uncontrolled sex makes you inactive towards aspects of your life that needs your energy and attention and an inactive man is an unhappy man - a loser. It also makes you more liable to have an unhealthy marriage later in life.

God forbid we be counting sex partners while our mates are counting money.

Don't rush into sex or make it a priority else you will find it very difficult to attain greater heights in your life which will lead you into depression and regrets especially when you see your mates ahead of you. There is a lot of time for sex after marriage.

12. Your value is everything

I don't know much about ladies but for a guy, you're only followed, respected and regarded by your value - what you can offer. A man with less or no value is looked down by society. A man creates himself not finds himself. Daily exercise in self-control, knowledge and wealth acquisition gradually creates improvements in your worth. Don't underestimate that. You're meant to be a leader in your home so invest in yourself in order for you to lead well.

The lifestyle of a man largely depends on IQ and a higher level of intelligence leads to a better lifestyle for him. Your intelligence and energy is everything. Work on that.

13. You aren't the first to face your difficulties

Most men today think that they have it harder than previous generations did but it is not true. If you could make it to where you are now, you can still do better. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

Be strong and keep hustling. Lessen your gratification and double your hustle. Remember energy and persistence conquers all things.

14. Be careful with women

Do not give your strength to women. Don't love women you can't trust. Study any woman you want to settle down with and don't ignore the red flags you find. You do this for the future you so that you won't find yourself in troubles you could have avoided.

Do not make your woman your superior rather see her as your daughter. Love her and correct her when she errs. Any woman who doesn't respect you shouldn't be in your life. You're the one marrying her and paying the bride price. Don't settle for less.

15. Give attention to your wife and children

Children turn out better when they have the attention of their parents - when they parents spend quality time with them. As children need mother's love and attention, they also need father's care and attention. Have time for them and converse with them. Sometimes children wish their parents had more open conversations with them. Same applies to your wife. Pay attention to her.

Good for anyone irrespective of the age

All I'll say is let's hope the situation in Nigeria doesn't change in two weeks (incubation period).

Oh okay. I'll message you

Jen96:
yup set 08/09

Yes! You went to IEC also?

Jen96:
Igbinedion?

The guy obviously doesn't love you.

Nothing is wrong with you, lots of guys would love to date someone with your demeanor.

Try to move on.

Congrats Enonymous!

Please would you know if there's a group for November/December AOR? I'd like to be in such a group as waiting on my own with no support group can be extremely frustrating.

If there isn't, I propose we form one for people who are interested.

Cheers

Enonymous:
Interview Proper


Dear E,

YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA(S) APPEARS READY TO BE ISSUED.

PPR - Nov 28th.

No one was going to be left behind. Our good did not kill us at last!
I am grateful to Canada for finding us worthy despite all the complications.

I am extremey grateful to my wife for all the support. It was tough for her, especially with the pregnancy, and having to cope with traveling to Accra with an infant. I knew she could do it because she’s a super woman. I intend to buy her a Tesla in canada, but she’ll rather put the money in Educational Trust Fund. I marry beta wife from self contain to Canada. I am happy to be sharing this moment with her.

I’m giving out a special shoutout to Opeyemi from the AVO group. I wont say much about her because words can’t express how much I appreciate her support. She was with me all the way from the first day I joined the AVO group. The minute I ran into the MTN office for wifi coverage, all her messages just poured in. I’m not sure why she has human flesh, she should be an angel. She’s the reason I decided to document my experience. It would be wrong to not let people know about such person.

I also want to appreciate the sticker king of April/May 2019 AOR group . You wont believe a guy I have never met sent me financial support for the accra trip. He has been asking for my address so he can load me up with Musibau bags. How can somebody be concerned about me like this

ursullalinda:
RIP to a great hero....but is the public holiday necessary?

But that for Abiola is necessary, while the one for the first president of the nation isn't?

Is there really any need to specify where each person in your story is from? Does it matter if they are northerners or southerners?

Thanks

Eraytee:
if you are not claiming points from it you don't need a reference letter, let the NYSC experience go to personal history

I've search the forum and couldn't find anything on the "Personal activities" section. I did NYSC less than 10 years ago, should I put that as "Employed" under Activities Type? Why I ask is because it would be nearly impossible for me to get reference letters for that.

Thanks

When Arsenal top players like Aubameyang and Lacazette decide to leave Arsenal for greener pastures with not only better financial remuneration, but also sensible fans, then it will dawn on these "match goers" (because they ain't fans) that they were being stupid.

AntiBrutus:

Thanks for making me have a good laugh tonight ��

Hello house, I must say this is a great community.

Please does anyone have an idea about obtaining engineering licence for Canada while still in Nigeria?

I ask because I do not want a situation where I get there and spend precious time seeking to obtain it when I should have done that before leaving.

Thanks

Yes you can. This happened to me just last week when I got Ontario NOI

Thanks buddy!

NanaF:
With what you have chosen to get 441, you have used the highest bands in each category. Meaning, 441 is the highest you can get if you are under 30, single, sufficient work experience and Bsc only.

Write ielts, evaluate your degree and get in the pool (you can be nominated by a province), all these while considering other avenues to increase your score.

Please forgive me if this is a foolish question, but can someone get nominated by a province directly from the Federal pool without even applying for a PNP?

Thanks

Staro:
Oga, POWER ministry is a very small ministry.
It is even more so now that about 70% of it is privately controlled.

Power is small? What's the number one infrastructural problem in Nigeria?

Have you heard of NBET, NERC, NEMSA, TCN, NAPTIN and REA? These are all parastatals (except NAPTIN which is the training institute similar to PTI in the oil sector).

Power isn't small.

deliveryboy:
Stop this good father narrative. Sometimes fathers have to put down the strong foot even if we don’t like it, his job is not to appear good most times. Thrashing fathers all the time has made young men not look up to being fathers because fathers have been made villains. Just wish fathers happy Father’s Day.

EXACTLY!!!

Auxtin85:
Happy Father’s Day to all responsible fathers and every strong women that played the role of both father and mother to their children.

Abeg let fathers enjoy their day in the spotlight. Mothers have enough days for celebration and are generally more recognised for their efforts than the fathers.

Happy father's day!

I'll ignore the clickbait title.

This is truly inspiring, someone that fellow Nigerians were mocking some years ago is now making waves in his sport.

Lessons to be learned here.
