You do not need to enter the farm. Buy sacks and plant yams in your house...with buckets you can plant tomatoes, peppers and in your compound you can raise catfish. I never understand why people that complain cannot think of solutions. If you can afford to buy from market, do so. In the West, we do not cry over prices of food. You buy what you can and people barely blame the presidency for prices of food or vote based on that lol. We need to control our population...stop having 3-5 kids...even 2 is too much for some people, and some needs to be single for a while before bringing a child to this world.

DoWhatThouWilt:
Oya carry cutlass enter farm naa, tell the bandits and herdsmen who reside there that they should allow you plant so food can be cheap.

I remember taking my students to visit Pepco in Washington DC. They have all the materials ready in case of failure. Many transformers were in storage ready to be deployed. They have contractors and they can be authorized to pick up materials with orders when needed. I pray we get there one day in Nigeria where we become PROACTIVE not REACTIVE. Who will pay for all the damages due to lack of power especially when Aba people have come to get used to having power 24hrs. Most may have even sold their Generators by now.

This is terrible and the woman should be locked up. We need to start a discussion about people giving birth to children they cannot take care of. Where are the parents? Why would a 13yr work as a maid when she is not legally allowed to work in the first place? Who is collecting her salaries? If the parents are complicit, they should be locked up as well. We need to discuss this child bearing and child abuse issues. The Boko Haram of these worlds were probably not raised well or neglected. We need to address irresponsible parenting.

Rapmoney:
This woman brutalized this 13 year-old girl that served as a maid to her in Egbeada in Imo State. She disfigured her face and locked her up inside a dirty storehouse till a resident who witnessed the terrible act contacted Mr Okeoma on TikTok. Mr Okeoma invited the police to get the woman arrested and rescued the young girl.

Why would people who cannot even live comfortably well take in other people's children as maids? Why would you give birth to children you cannot take care of and give them out as maids?

I think POF (Proof of Funds) should be required for child birth in Nigeria.

The problem with Nigerians is we have a low self esteem of ourselves, so when a white man says yes, we are stupid enough that we will not even check if it is Yes or No. The man said Diesel is more expensive. I have posted the data which clearly shows he is incorrect. The good news is ...some of us have traveled out of Nigeria, and we know that most of these white people are idiots except for those that are Yes Daddy to them. Before you believe anything, USE your BRAIN and FactCheck. Google is your friend

It is about 1 Euro, and even in the cheapest market, it is MORE than 1 Euro in Europe. Some countries are more than twice the price. So maybe the person that wrote the title should have put...Fuel is more expensive in Nigeria than Europe, says Person A but this is INCORRECT.

Over 40,000 deaths by USA annually. The same USA some want to JAPA to, and no Americans blame the President o. That explains exactly what is wrong with us in Nigeria. Life is tough everywhere...Build your children to weather the storm. Every 10yrs, a major shift will happen in our lives...loss of job, loss of family, loss of income, promotion, marriage, new children, breakthrough....like Joseph in Eqypt, prepare for the desert while you have the ocean, invest wisely, build people around you and support others...have multiple streams of income, and never go all in for any business...do not gamble - giving someone millions to process visa is gambling. Apply your brain and pray for Grace and direction.

I guess it is the same reason Obidients attacked Pastor Adeboye...Amaechi is playing dangerous politics...He should continue. He is trying to nail ATIKU finally.

Ablesam171:
It's a fact. They would never try to use their attack dogs on Sultan of Sokoto.
These people have little regard for Christians, which is why they found it so easy to present a Muslim-Muslim ticket. Their supporters are quick to attack Christianity whenever Christian clerics criticize the government, yet they are often reluctant to challenge prominent Islamic clerics because they know many Muslims will not tolerate what they consider disrespect.
For that, Muslims in Nigeria have my respect.
Remember when Davido shared a music video to promote one of his artists? It didn't take long for him to take it down after facing backlash over scenes that were perceived to resemble a mosque.
Also, in April 2022, Abubakar Suleiman, the Managing Director and CEO of Sterling Bank Plc., posted an Easter message comparing the resurrection of Jesus Christ to Agege bread with the phrase, "Like Agege Bread, He rose." He made the post, yet many Christians just laughed over it and moved on.
My point is that Christians in Nigeria are often taken for granted, despite not being a minority. The Catholic Church alone has tens of millions of members across the country.
Besides, why does Tinubu's government seem to dislike hearing criticism? Is it because it came to power on promises many people believe were misleading, and now prefers praise over honest criticism?

Elon Musk may be the Anti-Christ LOL. The guy is not NORMAL. First Trillionaire in History and still going...the guy never stops.

"Even if you're 100% blind from birth... you're going to see." — Elon Musk

Elon Musk says Neuralink plans to implant its first Blindsight vision devices within the next 6 to 12 months, with the goal of restoring vision by sending signals directly to the brain's visual cortex—bypassing the eyes entirely.

While Musk envisions a future where the technology could eventually enable infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar-like vision, the initial versions are expected to provide low-resolution visual perception, with significant rehabilitation required, especially for people who have been blind since birth.

Neuralink's Blindsight has already received the U.S. FDA's Breakthrough Device designation, accelerating its development as the company continues expanding human brain-computer interface trials.

A lady that took cloth for her Mom's friend said the bags kept ringing...they searched and searched and released her. She got to her hotel, and as she was unpacking...she said more than 10 debit cards fell out with different names...which may have been processed by banks using multiple accounts. She would have gone to jail for card fraud. She cut all the cards and threw them away...and gave the person the cloth. The lady was now calling her about the content...she said she was only told she was transporting clothes. The woman could not say anything. The lady said after that incident, she made a vow NEVER to transport anything. A word is enough for the wise.

Why I Sell My Akara for ₦22,000 in Lagos –Akara Lekki Owner Opens Up


The owner of The Akara Lekki has broken her silence amid the massive online backlash over the eatery’s premium platters priced as high as ₦22,000, insisting that customers are paying for far more than just ordinary bean cakes.

In a recent interview, the entrepreneur behind the now-viral Lekki spot defended her pricing model, arguing that her product represents a completely different class of akara compared to the roadside versions sold for ₦50 or ₦100 per piece. “I’m not selling ordinary akara. I’m selling an experience,” she said.

“From the quality of beans, premium fillings like seafood, chicken, and beef, to the hygienic environment and professional presentation, everything is intentional.”

She highlighted the high cost of doing business in upscale Lekki Phase 1, including rent, quality ingredients, skilled staff, and maintaining a clean, air-conditioned space that appeals to customers who want a premium twist on a beloved Nigerian street food.

“People compare us to roadside sellers, but they are not comparing apples to apples. Our customers understand the value, clean oil, fresh ingredients, proper packaging, and a place where they can sit and enjoy without stress,” the owner added.

The comments flooded in after social media exploded with mixed reactions to the ₦22,000 platters.

While critics called it “outrageous” and “disconnected from reality” in Nigeria’s current economy, others have defended the business, saying those who can afford it should be free to patronise luxury versions of local delicacies.

The Akara Lekki has two locations in Lekki and continues to attract curious customers and delivery orders despite the controversy.

SP Ikenga explained that the exercise was initiated to enable the Police to verify the authenticity of tinted glass permits, detect forged or fraudulently obtained permits, enforce compliance with vehicle registration and number plate regulations, and prevent criminal elements from taking advantage of such violations to evade security checks and perpetrate crimes.

According to him, intelligence available to the Command has shown that criminals increasingly exploit tinted vehicles and improperly identified vehicles to conceal their identities and frustrate law enforcement efforts during criminal operations.

The Police spokesman acknowledged that the exercise might cause temporary inconvenience to genuine motorists, but, however, explained that the action had become necessary in view of the prevailing security situation and the Command's determination to enhance public safety across the state.


*I drive an SUV in Nigeria. It is not factory tinted. That is why I know you don't know what you are saying. Now you are citing nonsense stats as 98%. I just shake my head. I guess police should wait till someone in tinted vehicle to shoot at them before they can react or wait to be ambushed. I would do the same and much worse. If you are inconvenience, well it will be for a day, and we will give you a special tag to ensure it is well noted and not done illegally or with fraudulent documents to carry out crimes.*

Borrow2222:
This shows you know nothing about cars and didn't even bother to read the post.

You just jumped to conclusions and started defending them.

98% of SUVs in Nigeria today come with factory-fitted tinted rear windows.

The policemen were not doing stop and search. The police said they were impounding vehicles with tinted windows, whether with a permit or without a permit.

Read and understand before showing ignorance in a public forum.

Rufai Oseni should go and become a blogger. First lady asking our artists to get more involved in charity is not asking for too much. They attend GALA in the USA where funds are raised for the Arts and so many other things. Our artists even play in some of these charitable events abroad.

Most times when the President or First Lady is going to events, say commissioning of the Abuja entrance, lots of people will follow and their security entourage as well. Even for Burial at Maryland USA that I attended, it was close to or more than 50 vehicles that went there. So imagine first lady with 2 security vehicles, ambulance...that is already 4...then Senate President, FCT Minister, and other invited guests. All of them will not travel separately and you cannot tell the security protocol for the First Lady to also guide the Senate President or the one for Senate President to guide the FCT Minister.

In the USA, you may not see them like this, but they travel days in advance and station snippers along the routes ...they even move special vehicles and use helicopters and so on...probably more expensive than burning gasoline. One of the reasons I find it hard to ever consider running for office is because instead of people asking questions to understand, they prefer to remain ignorant and make assumptions or make insinuations. Until we change our mindset, we would never trust our leaders.

Really? Do you understand MAP IDs. A meter is just a box...the account number attached to MAP determines payments and readings. If her account is mapped to the new meter, how would it have a balance unless she already had balances before. Do you know how many prepaid meters I have installed? Most people do not know they have humongous balances. She needs to ask for her account history.

dgitrader:
You missed the point

The meter isn't her own, it belongs to someone else. She paid for a brand new meter. They duped her

Do you drive one of such SUVs? Why did you buy it and for what? If you cannot stop and be searched, then go and sell the SUV. Police can stop your tinted vehicles under reasonable suspicion ...that you have a certificate or not does not stop that. Go and review New York Stop and Search under Giuliani. It significantly reduced violence in NYC. We need more of these with these vehicles, not less....they could be moving kidnapped victims with these cars.

Borrow2222:
Are you sure you're OK?.

Didn't you read where the police said they are arresting both people with permits and people without permits?

How does that sound like to you?

You creatures always support any bad policy from the government, and that makes them act like thugs.

Almost all SUVs come with factory-fitted tinted glass for the rear windows.

So what do you suggest owners of such cars do?

You still have a phone or computer and data to type all these so you are not poor. Be honest, be truthful, be hardworking and focused...Life will smile back at you. Like Ogunde once sang, no matter how bad things are, faith will shift things after a decade. So, I have noticed that in every 10yrs, major things would happen in one's life. Be ready and be prepared like Boys Scout.

CLOUDRepublic:
I am writing this out of fear and out of being inquisitive. People that are poor, why are they poor?


I didn't grow up in a rich neighborhood. My estate was mixture of civil servants, government workers and petty traders. Everybody relying on each other for one thing or the other

But as time went on, I started to observe other kids saying and some times telling me I'm from a rich home.
Of course, that was their perception since they are oblivious of the struggles my family faced always waiting "for end of the month".
And never enough money to last a whole month.

As time went by, I started being conscious of people looking scrawny and wearing just one type of clothes with less colour. Dry looking skin, feet and wearing palm sandals.

I didn't like that kind of dressing so I always wore a white canvas mum bought for me meant for church. I also used to wear one I acquired from my brother by "rite of passage"🤔

When they see me, they always stared at me and even laughed at me that I was wearing a fine canvas. I tried to explain to them that it keeps the skin dust free and neat nails. These people call me Ajebutter.

It didn't make any sense to me. Why would you laugh at me for wearing something good? I felt we should always try to solve a problem when we observe it... Instead of thinking we are strong and exposing the skin to harm

I was still a kid but it gradually became obvious most of these people were poor.

Let me make her understand since she is not informed.

1. They were paying estimated billing before, and did not pay off the previous balance. They must have been paying N50k and using N150k lol.
2. The same account was used to open the new PrePaid Meter, and the NEPA guy used his name to help her parents from running up and down to submit this or that.
3. The Balance she is seeing there is what they have used.

If she thinks the guy used the meter, and removed it and passed it over to her, she is probably very wrong because they MAP these prepaid meters to addresses. She can also request for her usage records, so she can see where the charges came from.

Elusive001:

How many of his rich uneducated uncles told their children not to go to school? Those uneducated rich folks send their wards abroad the most because unlike this idiot, they know even money cannot buy wisdom and knowledge. Even in SE, they have association for PhDs. Now with the ban by govt with the use of Dr. by Honorary folks, money bags will learn what we mean by separating the wheat from the shafts.

Why are some well-learned folks Poor?
1. They did not get to their positions by merit.
2. They teach but do not apply what they teach.
3. They have contentment. Not everyone is obsessed with wealth.

My Professor, Ira Levine, may his soul rest in peace, singlehandedly wrote Physical Chemistry. Go and check most college chemistry books, they usually have multiple authors. Not sure he even married or had kids. He was Jewish, so it was rare for him not to marry or have kids. When I went to another state to work in the Chemistry Dept managing the Chemistry Lab as part of my Masters Full Scholarship program, the Professor there was shocked when I told her my Professor was Ira Levine. I think I saw his textbook in her office, and I told her that he was my Professor. He was considered a genius I guess. His final exam was 5.5hrs and midterm exam was 3hrs long. If you see him, you will think he is a homeless guy. Go figure...so don't be fooled by wealth. His textbooks alone probably made him a millionaire already.

Again. For the ignorant amongst us, in QATAR they will take your drones at the airport as a foreigner, and you may get it back when you are leaving the airport or it may be confiscated. That is a country that is 100% safe o..imagine Nigeria with all the insecurity. Govt should do well though to create approval processes and enforce them.

Special Travel Considerations

If you’re traveling to Qatar and want to bring your drone, the CAA lists these special considerations for foreigners who want to fly drones:

Only citizens of Qatar are allowed to fly drones within the country. To the best of our knowledge, foreigners attempting to enter the country with a drone will have it confiscated at customs.

For those ignorant amongst us, they do this in the USA too. They will even test your tinted glasses and if it is above the state regulations, you get fined. It is very dangerous to use very tinted glasses.

Police can kill you in the USA thinking you were reaching for a gun because they cannot see inside your vehicle. My new vehicle has no tinted window in the driver window and very low at the back to prevent sun heat.

We need to have more enforcement now as elections draw near, so we do not have war in our hand due to smuggled weapons. Keep up the hardwork.

By Izunna Okafor, Awka

The Anambra State Police Command has explained the rationale behind its ongoing enforcement exercise involving the impoundment of vehicles fitted with tinted glasses, clarifying that the operation is aimed at strengthening security and not intended to harass or inconvenience law-abiding residents.

The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, amid growing public reactions over the exercise.

According to the Police Spokesman, the exercise targets all vehicles fitted with tinted glasses, including those whose owners possess tinted glass permits. The exercise, he said, also targets unregistered vehicles, as well as vehicles with concealed, covered or defaced number plates.

SP Ikenga explained that the exercise was initiated to enable the Police to verify the authenticity of tinted glass permits, detect forged or fraudulently obtained permits, enforce compliance with vehicle registration and number plate regulations, and prevent criminal elements from taking advantage of such violations to evade security checks and perpetrate crimes.

According to him, intelligence available to the Command has shown that criminals increasingly exploit tinted vehicles and improperly identified vehicles to conceal their identities and frustrate law enforcement efforts during criminal operations.

The Police spokesman acknowledged that the exercise might cause temporary inconvenience to genuine motorists, but, however, explained that the action had become necessary in view of the prevailing security situation and the Command's determination to enhance public safety across the state.

He further emphasized that the enforcement operation is not targeted at victimising any individual but is strictly a security measure designed to safeguard lives and property.

The Command appealed to residents to cooperate with security operatives and exercise patience while the verification exercise continues, assuring that officers involved had been directed to carry out their duties professionally and in accordance with the law.

The Police Spokesman also reaffirmed the Command's commitment to sustaining proactive policing and other security measures aimed at denying criminals the opportunity to operate within the state.
