and what we can do as Nigerians is to look for ways to raise funds for them and reward them. To change the country, we need to support people that do the right thing so others can follow in their footsteps.

Good morning, @customsNG.

The three men you see in this video were involved in alerting your men to the smuggled rice and petrol seized by your men overnight last Tuesday to Wednesday in Oja-Odan.

Can you then explain how the identities of these men who tipped you off about the… pic.twitter.com/3dQGeYxNam

A lot of people tend to be surprised by this. I am not. MY TAKE

To win wars, you need certain things -

1. Proximity - The defeat of USSR, UK and so on is simply because they expanded beyond reason, and could not negate attacks due to proximity to home base. This is the main reason why countries won independence. Not because Africans with their crude tools could defeat the superior power of the British/French. The occupiers could not keep up. The reason why Israel is able to sustain continued attacks on the Palestinian is due to proximity. This is also the reason why UKRAINE would fail because the supporting countries are not close, and Russia can also reload and attack at will.

2. Numbers - While small armies have been successful in defeating larger ones, there is still a certain number of ratio needed to defeat oppositions. US-Afghanistan, US-Iraq are case studies. When US had the surge, the US was able to move into Taliban territories and gain more grounds, but they could not sustain the numbers. Russia has brought in North Korean and other foreign mercenaries. While Ukraine is also getting human support from the West and Europe, they are and will be unwilling to send in large forces. US has been suffering from recruitment in recent years, and with eyes fixated on China, they cannot afford to deploy a lot of assets to the Red Sea. Yemen has home advantage and I doubt Saudi Arabia would want to get involved giving their past issues with Yemen.

3. Technology - Every technology has limitations. You cannot use a $2 million missile to bring down a $5000 drone. Even if you do that, over time, it wont make sense. What US just discovered is the limitation of expensive technology. Even Israel with Iron Dome could not stop the sheer number of cruise missiles from Iran. Armor tanks were blown up with cheaper IEDs in Afghanistan...US had to spent more to fortify. Then they targeted the Fuel Tanks and so on...technology has limitations.

4. Money - Countries will continue to assess and reassess war spending, and what they are willing to commit to it and what they hope to gain may affect the outcome of these wars. While US-Israel have increased war spending, other countries are spending less to build more arsenals because they engage in less confrontations. Over time, the people may not subscribe to continued war spending. This is one of the reasons US had to pull out of Afghanistan. It was just too costly. Most people are already talking about the cost of maintaining US bases around the world. Soon, US will be forced to limit spending and focus on human capital development before the people revolt. One of the reasons Harris lost, more war spending is not popular anymore. Trump is trying to normalize relationship between Israel and Middle Eastern countries because at the end, Israel would only survive if there is peace with its neighbors. US cannot keep up the defense of Israel as its people suffer from crushing expenses, national debt and inflation.

Why must we have a significant event to flag off and then to commission? Isn't all that additional waste of money that can be used to perform other things? I am just curious.

Best way to raise IGR...move the Gov House to an undeveloped area. Those lands next to it are probably now 100 times the cost. The main city will still attract high net and this new area as well. I cannot wait to see how Soludo will transform Anambra. He should reach out to Ooni of Ife...Ojaja. He is building masterpieces everywhere from Ondo, Osun to Lagos.

Bestmanfornow:
The Anambra State Government House, Lodge, and ancillary structures are approaching completion, signifying a major achievement for the state, which has lacked a befitting government house and lodge since its inception on 27th August 1991, thus positioning the current governor, Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo , as a trailblazer whose legacy will endure for generation.

and with all that comes obligations ...she must attend events, parties, go on trips and so on...all that glitters is not gold. I wish her all the best, but it is for one year and another one will take her place...but the best modeling agencies in the world do not switch models every year. She will make her mark, but it won't be easy. I wish her all the very best, and I will be rooting for her.

Somebody is living in a Luxury apartment in New York for a year with access to all the top global brands, modeling agency and you are talking Nollywood.

By this Christmas, Chidinma Barbie doll suppose they shop all year round 2025.


That is a good place to start now too.

You mean Nollywood story. There are limits to modeling here. She wont be the first looking good female with slim stature. How well she performs will be based on her handlers. Like Nigeria, most models abroad also cater to high end clients...and ....well you can picture the rest lol. How often do they get modeling gigs that pay for their lifestyles?

legitnow1:
Her story is a desney fairy tale, do you knwo how much her cartoon will be worth.

That is just one.

It could be a real life Holywood story, more money.

She could write a book.


She can be a Black barbie dolll.

In few years, she will join ARISE News as a Journalist like Ojy Okpe Lol

When I started visiting to see my parents, he started opening up to me that he wanted me to take over his legacies. Parents have a lot to say and they need that assurance that only physical presence can open up

Flakky26:
These days because of the economic factors, JAPA syndrome and many other factors. Physically meeting with parents has become challenging. pls lets know when you saw your parents last and if its been long , what are your reasons?

Some do give their parents benefiting burial spending millions but they were no where to be found when their presence is needed most?

Won't our parents cherish the Physical Presence more than the millions spent for the burial?

Some shops now have speakers...so when alert goes in, it makes a sound...and they also check their phones. Smart idea...no more showing alert to say you have paid ...you wait or they call bank to confirm...especially the older traders If na hundreds of thousands

I wont be surprised if some of these students still scammed their parents and collected tuition money. I wonder how the govt will ensure the colleges are not collecting for withdrawn students, admitted but not enrolled and so on. Lots may be going on underground.

I am probably the only person that was denied, and yet relieved. Lots of horror stories from everyone that I was already scared before the interview. When she said denied, I said thank you and was even relieved to be done with the whole mess. My Mom said...why don't you get a new passport and try the next day, I said no way. Lets go to Ibadan. I need to be out of here. By the way, I paid for my own visa doing house to house tutoring after delay getting into University from not meeting cut off, and a long UI strike at that time. I always tell everyone Chelsea Clinton is my girlfriend and I will go to the US. She is processing my visa. Their jaws dropped when my dream fantasy became real.

I dusted myself, prepared to start UI after a 9-month strike...went back to my Agbada 3 months later with the "I don't give a fu*k attitude whether you give me or not." Then I got it Lol..1st one, I went to Lagos, suit and tie very uncomfortable dressing with my Mom and 2nd time, I traveled alone...If you see how I held the passport-visa alone on my way back to Ibadan lol. I kept looking at it..like, wow, I got this visa. Then I remembered I had no way to pay for ticket. One day I will write a whole book...God help me. I am the stone the builder rejected. I am now the cornerstone.

Everyone was shocked...even my relatives in the US. How did you do it? I did not do it...God did it. I arrived US before discovering I even got 50% tuition scholarship lol.

Is it easy to get residency in these countries? I doubt it...Europe is becoming more right-leaning now. Best to try Canada if she is the agile type and can work. But do note, she may change it for you, have a boyfriend, and forget about everyone joining her over there. Don't cry me a river if that happens. Use your brain...you know your wife better than we do.

Christmas na money making here. Toy companies love Christmas. Christmas tree farmers love it too. They sell the most that season. If you think it is about Jesus Birth then you do not understand capitalist economy lol

Please do vigil everyday if you can. After all, did they keep job for you if you stop doing vigil.

And those saying Christianity is scam, why are several developed countries having many Christians. Shebi dey do Christmas in December, to celebrate who? Jesus Christ Birth.

Why America never drop Christianity if na scam? You wey probably feel say you get sense pass others, wetin you and your gods don produce? You wey probably no believe in religion at all, what value have you added to your community?

Please do your Christianity to your satisfaction, pleasing God. Nigeria's problem is bad government, not Christianity. Abi na Christianity increase fuel?

If you want churches to build industries, let government give the churches money to build. You should not expect people to steal the nation's money, while the church does what the government should do. The church can do their part, but they are not the government.

Ingredients used are
-Red Corn
-Sugar
-Salt

States grid makes sense. Northerners planning to supply for all 19 states makes no sense...how would they coordinate transformer replacements, repairs, payments and all...it will just be another big Disco/Genco. Yes, it's expensive to do it state by state but you at least would have control of your state and can continue to diversify the production of electricity instead of waiting to have a meeting of 19 Govs from different political parties and different interests

I understand its hard for people to believe that humans can gift people things without expecting anything in return. All it takes is one person finding out he doesn't have a car and maybe struggles to get to the gym. All it takes is someone saying i can put up N200k if others can gather N50k. You will be surprised how much your dedication and honesty can open doors for you. In life within a 10yr span, something dramatic would happen...and it would probably be a high or low .... what you do and how you manage it will determine the next 10yrs. Think of it as the Joseph Dream approach to life. This is his breakthrough. Some will get a higher breakthrough and some will fall off.

Nigeria-UK guy jailed 26 years for scam...he had his 10 years of breakthrough (negative) and met his downfall as well. Looking up his FaceBook, he actually japa and could have kept grinding in UK but wanted to move fast....too fast. Trust faith, have hope, and stay diligent...someone is watching. It may be delayed, but it won't be denied.

In a heartwarming twist, a group of women at a local gym gathered funds to buy their beloved gym instructor a brand-new car, sparking a truly emotional moment. The instructor, known for his dedication and encouragement, couldn’t contain his tears when he realized the surprise was for him.

As he stood in shock and joy, the women surrounded him, celebrating his impact on their lives and fitness journeys. Known for going the extra mile to motivate and train them, the women felt he deserved something special. They handed him the car papers with excitement, and he soon found himself in the driver’s seat, taking his new ride for a test spin.

It was a scene of pure gratitude and happiness, as the gym instructor’s dedication to his clients was rewarded in the most memorable way possible.

Accordingly, the 2024 appropriation is N28. 78 trillion increasing by N1. 28 trillion from the initial proposed value of N27 trillion

Going by this and even assuming we got N6.28 trillion every quarter, we would still be short of the 2024 appropriation. My guess is that we did not even make N6.28 trillion in Q1, so we are definitely behind. The only silver lining is that we are earning close to the appropriation, so we may not need to borrow from CBN like we have done in the past via Ways and Means. I stand corrected.

Bolt Driver Apologizes to Hon Alex Ikwechegh Over Provocation, Begs Nigerians for Forgiveness

By Wisdom Nwedene

A Bolt Driver, Stephen Abuwatseya has finally apologised to House of Representatives member representing ABA North/South of Abia State in the National Assembly, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh for insulting him when he went to deliver a package to him.

In a video personally released to the press, Mr Abuwatseya begged Nigerians to forgive him and equally move forward.

According to him, "Good day, Nigerians. My name is Stephen Abuwatseya. I had a misunderstanding with Rt. Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh a few days ago. I actually want to apologize to him for whatever I must have said or done to provoke him to that level of anger. I want to tell Nigerians that it’s not time for us to start dividing ourselves based on religion, tribes, or regions. We should actually come together, see how we can unite this nation and move it forward."

Abuwatseya continued, calling for unity and forgiveness. “Please, Nigerians, let’s forgive and forget, as it’s even contained in our Lord’s Prayer, that ‘Lord, please forgive us, as we forgive those who trespass against us.' For there is no justice without forgiveness. Thank you very much."

In his heartfelt message, the driver also took time to thank his family and well-wishers for their support. "I want to use this medium to thank my family members, my parents, my brothers, my uncles, and everybody that stood by me. I want to appreciate all of you. I love you all. Thank you. God bless Nigeria."

This apology comes just days after Ikwechegh himself issued a public statement, acknowledging his actions and expressing regret over his behavior during the altercation. In a message posted on his Instagram account, the lawmaker apologized to the Uber driver, the Nigerian Police Force, and the National Assembly, asserting that his actions fell short of the standards expected from a public officeholder regardless of how intense the Provocation must have been.

Ikwechegh explained that he had engaged in alternative dispute resolution with Abuwatseya, which led to a "mutual and respectful agreement" between the two parties.

Email me and let us talk about your finances and choices. It is not about making money that provides someone with sense. You can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars and still be poor or broke with a small turn of event. If you want financial advice, and you are willing to learn, you will go far with your N200k.

Quick wins - Move back to your family if you cannot afford to rent OR rent a room ..cut your rent to less than 20% of your income. You cannot pick and choose if you are not making enough. You suffer small so you can invest to build wealth. In 2-3 yrs, you will start 2-3 businesses that generate incomes for you, and then live your best life.

The question is --- are you willing to learn and make sacrifices? even show proof of income and openly discuss your budget?

Ive never been happier than this my entire life. That's me in the picture below rejoicing and shaking my dread.

The most lucky man in the world. He gets to pick the Attorney General who will withdraw the cases. For those that cannot be withdrawn, say at the state level, he can use US taxpayer money to mount a legal defense. He has the majority in the Supreme Court and may pick 1-2 judges in the future to solidify his grip. Talk about Presidential overreach...and you still think Nigeria is extreme? We learned from the best.

Lol... I am just saying...dont make amazon job look so great. Next time, proceed with caution cos some of us will checkmate you. Anyways...if a family is making N80k each, N160k and they have 1 or 2 children, they can survive in Nigeria. That's N1.92m. Rent should be no more than N500k, 25% of the budget so a room and parlor will suffice or 1 bedroom apartment. Schools should be public with N30k for private lessons for both kids all year...say another N400k. Food can be about N40k - N50k a month which means one must plant to supplement and then some savings. Ideally they shouldn't have kids if they are just starting off with minimum wages. You can marry, work hard for 4-5yrs then raise both incomes before 1 child and then 2 children on or before 35...so marriage at 30. This is how the West does it and manage. Some couples live in one room. Naija we just overdo our life, and love Aso Ebi.

daveP:
lol

Don't take this too far. I thought you'd understand the pov for this. But you're simple focused on the amazon part and not the Nigerian part that made me start this. Perhaps you'll be satisfied if i use some other non-amazon employer of labor before you grab?

but you aint as productive as an average Amazon employee, and some of them have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet. If he or she told you she has just that one job and living great, something is amiss. You do that Amazon job full time for 10yrs, you will need lots of medical support if you ain't taking care of yourself...look it up online and check reviews lol

daveP:
I know. But this is in comparison to what these governors want us to be grateful for here in Nigeria. After all the taxes and everything, her take home is still exceedingly far than whatever that 80k($47) is. Even after all the bills and taxes settled, what's left is still above that 47. She's making that 47 in a day. Different zones yeah. But it's grains of sand nigerians are getting. Peanut is big.

You left out the taxes, rent and all the other obligations in the US. Come and work at Amazon for 1 month...lol

daveP:
A young lady is working in Amazon for $23/hr. And then there are Nigerian Governors, expecting the masses to be super grateful that minimum wage is now 80k/month??

Shes making that 80k in 2hours. 2 full hours.

Nigerians deserve more than all these crap
