They have all forgotten so soon about the trailers loaded with corpes arriving the east from the north. The wailing and gnashing of teeth accross the southeast as people try to identify their dead relatives massacred by the northerners of which some haven't been found till date. Now some ignorant morons are aligning with the same northerners who massacred their people to wrestle power from their own southern brother in the name of politics. What a disgrace!!

I was doing NYSC in Kano when this riot took place. The city of Kano is not where a Christian should be in violent riot.
Thousands of Christian and non indigeme lives were wasted for nothing sake.in that riot in Kano.
Those street urchins called Almajiris are dangerous armies of death without mercy.
The same little Almajiri children you give money and food everyday will easily turn on you to take your life so quickly. They have been so indoctrinated with deep seated hatred for people not of their religion and moments like riots are times they become killing machines to loot and kill.
I lived in kano for 4 yrs, and witnessed 3 deadly riots in which I lost friends, co - workers and neighbours.
The riots were:
1. Beauty Pageant (Miss world contest) in which Muslims said Nigeria should not host the contest. And when Nigeria went ahead to host it, some Northern cities including Kano went on riot killing non Muslims.
2. The US war against Libya. Muslims in Nigeria especially those in Kano decided to take the anger on Christians living in the North.. Thousands were slaughtered in Kano.
3. A Frenchman drew a cartoon of Muhammed. Muslims in Nigeria got angry and started killing Christians living in the North.
I narrowly escaped with my life in Kano in those 3 riots. In one of them, I was smuggled out in the boot of a car by a Muslim colleague.

Na run I ran away from that city.
I still have sad scars and very baf memories of that city.

DoctorStanley:
See this WICKED CRUELTY

In saner clime you'd receive and deserve long prison sentence.
It made my blood boil to read this nonsense.
How can people be this HEARTLESS??
I just don't get it

I rear goats and to the best of my knowledge the ones that survived the attack will still come back unless the owner restrains them. Goats are naturally stubborn. They'll run when you attack but will still come back hoping you are not around. If they see you they'll run away.

chukkystar:
why wont He be paranoid when His next door neighbour joins a coalition with His enemies. They could set up logistics and set up shop just right beside them. Ask the west why they were so bent on getting Ukraine on their side and why Trumps administration has been seen bullying Ukraine President. The west controls all the media so they'll definitely push their own agenda no doubt..

classicfrank4u:
I don't live in China neither have I been there before so I wonder why you are asking me about Chinese citizens, scam in Nigeria wasn't this bad in the past, if you check very well most of these Yahoo boys can go six months to cash out just $100, anyone who had a reasonable job wouldn't waste their time doing that!

You also want to use this post to defend your drug sniffing master at Aso Rock? It has gotten to that? Agenda must Agend 👌, right? Kwantiniu..

@topic

Nigerians must try to avoid making themselves look so vulnerable to countries like the United States and her European allies. While punishments should be metted out to offenders, every attempt should be made to stop the normalisation of this practice of uprooting Nigerians from their homes and taking them to the United States for "punishments". We have enough courts in this country to handle such cases. Let's use our judicial system here. Afterall, we seldom hear of Americans being extradited to Nigeria. It always starts slowly, and before you know it the American prisons system will become another concentration camp for Nigerian men as it has become for Black Americans..

Please (even though I know my appeal with fall on deaf ears too numerous to count in this forum), approach this issue with logic and without prejudice to the people involved.

My wife and I are duly blessed with a son who is in his basic 5 now. Also, we decided to get the daughter of one of my cousin to stay with us. She is one of 7 children. So I wanted to help raise a CHIMAMANDA.

As my rule, every child of same age under my room attends the same school and calls us Dad & Mum. The school part didn't quite seat well with my wife, who had a different opinion, but I prevailed anyway. Because na me dey pay school fees.

The girl is a year older than my son, but due to the level of education at the village before she came over, we made her be in the same class as my son. She met my son in primary 2. Now they are both in basic 5.

A shocker happened: This girl keeps coming up in the class, while my son keeps running away from the top. We've tried extra lessons, even tried changing schools. Now it looks as if the girl is better suited for school than my boy. She reads, spells and memorizes things too marvellous. I bought a dictionary cos of that.

I even buy gifts for her (for coming top) more than I do for my boy, to make him sit up, but my pikin nor send me o. Guy use cry & Woman power make me buy am bicycle. 😁

I would think he's being a spoilt boy, who believes daddy & mommy is there, I don't really know. But I am hopeful.

Now, my major issue is my heavily pregnant wife. She wants the girl to be changed/enrolled at a different school. In her defence, she wants her to be available to help her take care of things. The kid's school close by 3pm. She suggest government school that close earlier. I see sense in what she said but I feel like I'll be unfair to this young girl.

When I tried to have a healthy debate on the idea. Na so madam start to dey talk plenty tins wey I nor fit type.
I have accepted to do her wish from September for peace.

Please, do you see another way I could avoid problems?

Is she right to have asked that I changed the girl's school just because she needs help around the house & her business?

gidgiddy:
Nigerians should remember something important. These States are only getting 13% of their natural resources, and giving Nigeria 87%

When, you take 87% of what people own, and give them a paltry 13%, it is called 'armed robbery'

Kemetian:
So all the posters testifying to improved power supply live in a different Nigeria from you, that they cannot tell the difference between rainy season surge and genuine power improvements?

You think you are the only person with sense In Nigeria?

WizardOfNG:
Bro, you are wrong and will remain in darkness if you think the testimony of many Nigerians can somehow be a conspiracy "to promote tinubu reelection in 2027".

kindly petition your local DISCO office to find out if there may be a generation issue related to infrastructure.

OP is entirely correct because majority can testify to the work of Adelabu, Minister of power, per vastly improved and never before seen (at least in my lifetime) constant power supply mainly aided by much improved efficiency in the distribution end that higher tariffs introduced have more than justified.

I live in Lekki phase 1 and dabble in property development across the Island up to Ajah and Sangotedo which are tending towards Epe.

We have had steady power supply in my residence for like three to four months now with stretches of even four to five days of constant power. Same extends to areas across the Island I have property development interests in.

I don't have to reveal the above but do so to challenge others to fact check and discredit me if I lie and your sort are correct trying to insinuate the situation in your area is general across Nigeria. It is by being real we can change Nigeria for better and not with lies or pursuit of hidden agendas.

Many ordinary Nigerians have no interest interest in fooling anyone because of any 2027 political agenda. Residential and business power users are just happy to confirm they are getting constant power supply that is aiding them to make progress.

Politicians come and go whereas progress is what upright Nigerians should seek always and should be duty-bound to confirm when they experience it.

Again, if you really want steady power others are enjoying, then get in touch with your power DISCO to understand if there is an issue you can lobby your LGA chairman or legislature to look into. That is their job.

Your situation, assuming you are even telling the truth, is abnormal for the much improved current state of affairs many Nigerians are now enjoying.

Begin by doing something about it rather than think all others are in your shoes or working for Tinubu's re-election.

hegelian:
Which kind lie be this.. From time memorial there are always some selected places with enough power supply especially those on 33kva but are in the minority, they are also the ones found on band A mostly.. The largest percentage of people around 80 to 90% are on 11kva and these are the people with 5hr, 2hrs, 0hrs and some 7 to 10hrs give or take.. The locations get rotated depending on lobbying of the people in the area.. Some area on 33kva could get swapped to 11kva and some on 11kva could negotiate their way into 33kva..however there are locality that are new with few households around and major power lines passing through them, these people always have constant light reason why you ton villages there will be light.. Also light gets better during raining season and this is fact from history..Enough of silly propaganda all to whitewash failures.. There is no improvement anywhere

seunmsg:
Maybe your area is an exception. But for a lot of Nigerians, the reality is that power has improved considerably. You can see screenshots of people from Lagos, Abuja, Gusau, Jos, Ibadan, Ilorin etc all over the thread and they are all saying the same thing.

seunmsg:
So, I saw this thread on X formerly Twitter where Nigerians from all over the country are expressing their happiness over the improved power supply in the country. Most people claimed they have abandoned their generators as a result of constant supply of electricity. This indeed is what sharing. We may not be there yet but we must acknowledge the improvement we are witnessing.

Kudos to the Minister of power and everyone involved in the electricity sector from generation to final distribution to our homes and businesses.

https://x.com/fimiletoks/status/1954448006113034247?s=46[/quote]this is a normal, once the raining season is over, we reset to zero. This is a yearly trend.

givedemwotowoto:
They continue peddling these rumors and falsehoods about GEJ.

In 2023 they told us he was going to submit his APC nomination form last minute lol

GEJ should just endorse Peter Obi and end all these APC cho cho cho

tesseract:
OP, you sound like the scribes and Pharisees that spent their whole time criticizing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Instead try commenting on more weightier and important issues of the faith.
Pastor is dressed appropriately in a place where he requires comfort to exercise his body. I have seen him in other pictures where he wore trousers to the gym.
Bro, study more and mature, grow up so that you won't easily fall into this kind of temptation. Would you also tell a pastor who wants to play football to wear trousers on the pitch?
This religiosity and judgemental hypocrisy is what Jesus warned the teachers of the temple about.

Raskimonojendor:
Lol. I have travelled to Ghana, Morocco, Benin Republic, Egypt, and South Africa. I am currently traveling through the US.

Do you even know Nigeria has one of the cheapest petrol in Africa, yet we are so entitled. You want the government to keep subsidizing every gaddemn thing.

Guy Nigeria, is poor and most African countries are even poorer.

Sonnobax15:
. Thank you bro....

How do the power station function please?

Sonnobax15:
. Na generator oh bro........na small small I go upgrade enter solar ..

DeJoeee:
Just picture yourself as a foreigner who heard about a country called Nigeria, you googled it and nairaland pops up, then you click on it only to see all the news about killings on its front page. What will be your impression about the country?

cr7lomo:
Lol....which company will pay u 10% a month ..if not ponzi schemes...and u say without risk... treasury bills or fix deposits in commercial banks will not give u more than 15% ton20% a year.... only fraudsters will offer u 10% a month....and u called it risk free ...ndi cibex and mmm

postigar:
Do ur maths 15% of 43m is how much
When you get the figure, reason with IQ next time
You bring in a car for 43m max including landing and clearing, if u make 4m as profit on the car max 5m,isnt it ok. We are just too greedy in this country. The same thing goes for other importers too and so called people bringing in food produce from the north

Softmirror:
Are you poor? Tell us the truth don't be ashamed please.

Commentor:
What do you mean?

You mean Americans would suddenly want to be sewing buttons on shirts to teach the world a lesson?

JuanDeDios:
Agreed. But not on the matter of Putin's war on Ukraine. On that one, everybody knows Trump is not serious.

bigpicture001:
Indi can't withstand the the US threat... The US is it's biggest trading patner , next to the EU... So if the US rolls out such santions.. the EU will follow suite..

India cannot afford to rely it's economy in the hands of it's arc rival :china.. moreover china is a producing nation and not a consuming nation...

So u see, no one can replace the US...

JuanDeDios:
Nobody takes Trump seriously on this issue. He's a class clown in fancy suits, a traitor to his country and its ideals. If I were amoral enough to buy Putin's oil in these times, I'd be saying the same thing.
