Assuming the narration is even the real and factual experience of a human being.

The issue is that most of us, because we are not in the category, don't understand the volume of warped mischief-makers out their online telling lies, spreading fake news and fabricating lies out of thin air in an attempt to work an angle or seek followers/likes/retweets etc

Every so called "real life narrative" online should be taking with a pinch of salt. If true though, then the guy is indeed an irritating nag. You'd have thought it's a 12 year old writing from his tone.
Thundafireseun:
This kid is obviously confused
I'm not even surprised by his experience because that's what we experience too, everyday. Our ladies have turned dating into business ventures or poverty alleviation program. Sellers of goods and artisans are not satisfied by their normal profits and service charges, they want to inflate the prices and fees at any given opportunity and rip you off. So, I don't know why you guys think he's lying or confused.
Or, the petty stealing, armed robbery, kidnapping and burgling. One chance robbery is there too. Nothing is safe, no one is safe. And that's why your house is not completed without burglary, without perimeter fencing. We have accepted abnormal situation as normal and still ready to attack anyone who expresses their frustration or call them liar

I would have explained to you how international politics/International Relations work but clearly you wouldn't agree with me.


Cause in your write up I can feel/Sense your hidden disdain for TRUMP

But you will agree with me, for the first time in a long time EUROPE IS NOW SERIOUS WITH REVAMPING ITS MILITARY AND SHOWING STRENGTH.

It's their disunity and inactiveness that is making the Ukraine war still staggering, if they wake up as Trump is forcing them too, you will see the dynamicschange of Euro to checkmate Putin.

Just watch as everything unfold.
Watch the end game, it will happen fast...
I won't type long epistle because I have been here for couple of hours.
My conclusion on this is that, Trump will step back, simple as ABC. He can't risk a war with Europe. I know he's out of control, doesn’t listen to or seek approval from Congress before he does things but the war with European nations combined together is not feasible for USA/Trump

There's nothing the whole of Europe will do if and when USA decides to take Greenland.
There is a lots they can do. If they join forces together, the result will be a prolonged war that will be costly for both sides. Trump can't want that, American Congress can't want that. USA and Europe turning on each other will be to the rest of the world delight cheesy, both sides can't give the world that satisfaction. Trump will step back, he has no choice, he's only testing the water to see if there will be reaction from European countries

Dogalmighty17:
Even though they will stand no chance against the US, at least they will show intent. It is unfortunate though that any attempt by the US to invade Greenland will result in the end of NATO and that's exactly what Putin wants.
You don't know what Putin wants dear friend. Putin wanted to join NATO, that's what Putin wanted. If NATO members turn on one another and that leads to the death of NATO, how does that translate to what Putin wants? He forced them against one another?

Expected. Tinubu's threats are too much on them, with lots of efcc cases hanging on their necks as if he's a saint himself. People would think apc is sp much loved by the defectors, not knowing they're only trying to escape his efcc's hook. His own time would come, no matter how smart he thinks he is. Nigerians are taking note
Are you now defending financial criminals? The same was said to Obasanjo, Jonathan, Buhari, it is nothing new. You claiming that Tinubu is threatening them shows that you don't understand politics and clearly, you don't know Tinubu. cheesy
But again, you are hoping that Tinubu will be dragged when he leaves office? You better think again! I would be happy if that happens in Nigeria one day but who dragged Obasanjo, Jonathan or Buhari? That's to tell you you're not in tune with reality.

If story and relationship are true, then it’s most likely because he thinks his father will not get the candidacy of ADC.
Atiku will get ADC ticket because he's still going to be the highest bidder as usual because delegates will sell their votes to the highest bidder as usual unless he voluntarily step down and refuse to contest pry election. Many of you are not even involved in real life politics, just online politics, so I wouldn't expect you to be well informed. Laughing

This is why the north are good at playing politics. They don't put all there eggs in one basket. If Tinubu wins in 2027, it's a win for the Atikus and if Atiku wins in 2027, it's still a win for the Atikus. Same thing Hell Rufai and Son. Son in Apc, father in ADC. (Associates of defeated criminals). Our Eastern people should learn from this.
Even, south east is finally learning the proper way to play national politics. But the next general election results will tell Nigerians if they have really learnt and ready.

Crime › Re: Man Sells Property To Pay Ransom For Brother Who Staged Own Kidnap In Edo by maasoap(m): 6:29pm On Jan 15
faceland:
You missed my point.
I’m saying ransom is not caring & death is better than that kind of 'concern'.
Why wait until someone is kidnapped to show concern, when no one invested in them before?
You seriously expect me to sell my property just to invest in you? The property that I struggled for years to acquire just to finance you? Who financed me? If I have enough savings, no problem. But selling my only house or car and give you to start a business? No!!

Paying kidnappers is like taking responsibility for their victims... Why not tell the kidnappers to go to hell instead? People will suddenly send millions to free a “precious” family member (the same family member they have never even given ₦100k before for personal development). Something about that just isn’t right.
The situation has changed, it is now between life and death. If you have your life, you still have hope.

Sometimes family will never help you except you’re dying. Why save me and return me to the situation I was in?

We need to learn to be our brothers’ keepers.


Now to the subject matter: I don’t know the dynamics in that family but this is wrong, totally wrong.
Why would you expect someone 'who needed to sell his property before he could pay your ransom' to help you? Does that person look like someone who could help you financially but intentionally refused?

owobokiri:
These are the same Arabs you guys defend here every day and night. Mind you, Arabs became Libyans through conquests and slaughter. They're not indigenous to those areas. Jihad brought them to Africa..

Arabs have been slaughtering and enslaving Africans for hundreds of years.. nonstop. Folks dont know but the trans saharan slave routes witnessed more evil and carnage in greater quantities than the trans Atlantic slave trade.

Blacks in Libya, Tunisian, Algeria and even Morocco, are treated like second class citizens in countries that used to be totallytheirs. They are rulled today by invaders from the gulf. Forced to speak Arabic and to be Muslims, their identities have been totally wiped off..

Just want to let you guys know. Next time when you shout for the Palestinians, do remember to shout for backs in the "Maghrebs"..
Do remember it was Obama who helped to unravel Libya and hand her over to a bunch of black hating extremists.
Who are the guys defending Arabs here everyday? Be like say something dey touch your head.

Don't stress yourself. Many people can afford to fuel and service private cars if they have, the problem is that they are unable to save enough to buy it.
Foreign Affairs › Re: I Had No Electricity For 6 Months: American Families Struggle With Energy Prices by maasoap(m):
PulaPower:
Kristy Hallowell had just lost her job when her energy bill unexpectedly tripled to $1,800 a month.

But the gas is still off and electricity bills keep mounting this winter, leaving her in fear of another shut-off. She said she now had about $3,000 in utility debt.

The 44-year-old is one of millions of Americans who have fallen behind on their energy bills as prices have soared over the past year.


This is what you get when you vote for a tangerine 🍊 in human form. I hope America get it right someday..

Enter TikTok, nah so so lamentations… I was shocked when a USA guy made a video of how they averagely pay $9,000 for ambulance. The comments on that video was shocking… I was like, shey nah Amelica be this?
If you were following Americans on tiktok, you would know that majority of their middle and lower class are not finding it easy and they can't afford many basic things

You are not understanding what I am saying yet, I am not saying the other side is not better , what I am saying is that because of devaluation of currency what a person earning 2.5 million naira is not different from someone earning 20 million naira, the only difference between there and here is structure ours is more dysfunctional than theirs because they have structures and have welfare in their plan anyone there will thrive
I understood you, clearly. Let me also say my point again, there is underpayment of labour hours in Nigeria, forget about the exchange rate. Labour market is not regulated in Nigeria and exploitation of cheap labour is too rampant and that's why labourers/workers are being given peanuts as wages and salaries.
Imagine a labourer being paid 5,000 naira for a whole day! What can such amount do?

I'm not a fan of japa but you're wrong on this. People wouldn't be rushing abroad if the pay or what is left after the bills are the same.
My younger brother was struggling when he was in Nigeria despite working with one of the Nigeria's leading commercial banks. He travelled out and his living conditions dramatically improved and even completed his own building from the scratch within three years without even having a land before.

omowolewa:
Mr. Omowe
So the Government started reviewing the basis of the Consultant's Fee after work done?
When OsunGovt knew they can do the work better why give it to Consultants at first.

Why not give the Consultant the Employee contacts used in further verification in first place?


Why not advertise the process to ensure full participation?

Why not mandate employee to apply for leave of absence when they are to call in sick?

Why not redirect same absentees to the Consultant when exercise was to be extended in the name of reverification (without including the Consultant in the reverification)?

Why will that significant quantity of staff fall sick or leave without absence at the same time?

Why will it be Osun State Government giving excuses for the absent staff?

Go meet the Consultants and reconcile convincingly with facts not bully. That is Intellectual Report,
Original is as good as photocopies, ask Baba Sala, Lagbaja and ors.
I'm sure the Osun government has learnt their lesson that there is a loophole in the contract agreement that greedy and non trustworthy could exploit and has effectively exploited.
If you were the governor, go ahead and pay over bloated figure of over 1 billion naira to greedy consultant while majority of your workforce was intentionally declared as ghosts.
The consultant should head to court, no one is meeting or reconcile with a thief
