Seems to me you already know what you will do lol...you are a grown adult...your Dad decided to move to the village against your advice. Let him sleep on the bed he has laid. You need to focus on your family or children. Don't let your parent or Dad stress your life...that is not fatherly.

AtoningBlood:
I need your input people.

3 years ago, my dad sold our house without informing anyone of us. Meanwhile, we all had things left at home, including my mum's items. He never told us where some of those things are till date.

He sold that house and went to the village, he immediately started having issues with the village people. Fight today, fight tomorrow. Everyone in the village I heard now disrespect him due to how he reveal his secrets to anyone who cares to listen.

My dad wants to leave the village to go rent an apartment in another state. His financial responsibility has been on me alone. My siblings abandoned him.

He's being nursing the idea of leaving the village and never informed me. Last november I spent almost 2 million naira fixing solar power and inverter for him in his house at the village and immediately after that he started saying he wants to leave the village..

I told my dad never to relocate to the village yet, that he should wait till his is older as he is still agile and all his friends are in the state where we lived or around. He also gets contracts once in a while so I don't bear much financial burden. But no, he failed to listen and sold our house and left.

My dad wants me to cough out another 1M to rent a house, he wants it big, 3 bedroom. I told him to look for a 2 bedroom but he said where would visitors stay.

I am not even comfortable seeing him in a rented apartment, what would my cousins say, they would mock us. I have some of them who are very naughty. He is bringing shame in us.

We have two properties and my husband wants him to come and stay in one, I vehemently disagreed because he will be controlling us, some of my extended family members will come visiting him and carry the news to the village, as well as discussing my own family and I don't want that. They contributed to what is happening to him now. Through him, some of them will come to stay and I can not start what I can't continue with. So I told my husband to dead that idea fast.

He wants to leave the village latest by February. How do I convince him to get a 2 bedroom flat? 3 bedroom would mean 3 mattresses, and everything triple. My dad doesn't like anything less. All the expenses will be on me alone. My siblings don't care.

I can't turn deaf ears to his needs. I don't want him in the village and I hate to see him in a rented apartment but that is what it is now.

I need contructive advice especially those of us with retired parents, how do you relate with their needs? I told him to think of a small trade so he won't be idle like he's been since retirement and he is talking about setting up electrical pole business, I laughed. Sebi he wan rek me. Same way he did not manage hid wealth.

2005...who was ya President...lol. Baba wey dey support another candidate and his VP wey wan become our President. Nigeria dodged many bullets.

They want to do concession of the Refinery ....good idea...get the Govt out of the business and regulate and collect taxes ..we can't afford NLC threatening the Govt when Labour Party loses.

Kenochi:
I took my time to read this article and sincerely there are certain cheering news and not too good news from the report
The cheering news is the rallying of the naira,I totally agree with this sense of thinking that the naira will start a strong rally this quarter,but for how long is something we need to really question
The second report amplifies what the former Deputy Governor of CBN,Mr Kingsley Moghalu recently advised,the urgent need to start diversifying our Economy
I sincerely believe that if this government is ready to sustain the rally of the naira,they need to quickly do the following:

1) Sell off at least Two Refineries
Reduce the wastage associated with those scrap metals
2) Give the states and local governments total control of Electricity generation and distribution
This model we are practicing is a total waste of government resources,allow individuals and willing states to generate electricity and distribute it at their a price that will be market competitive
3) Energise your Small and Medium Scale Businesses
This business that employ a minimum of two and maximum of 20,whose income is between 100,000 and 3 million should be given certain incentives to create more jobs and contribute to the growth of the Economy
4) Security
Allow the states and Local government to create structures that will secure their states.
What is happening in Abuja,Pleateau,Zamfara,Borno and states across the country with Banditry, Kidnapping and Armed Robbery can be fixed when states become more involved in securing their people
All crimes are local and it will take locals to help solve them

Sadly drug use is rampant ...from prior mention, they use it or encourage them to use to numb their darkest feelings that took them into sleeping in the public space...Personally I feel like those that supply the drugs want them addicted so they will continue in that trade to earn money for their drug addiction...so at the initial stage it feels like party club fun big mansion sexy drinking smoking and doing drugs...makes you vulnerable. You can't get any other job and you can't make enough to keep buying drugs from regular jobs...some I am sure enter the cocaine arena...when money is down, they look for substitute...imagine billionaire heir dying of drug overdose...only in America

Crazy guy...living inside hotel with other people's money...they need to start issuing fines for these hotels...they need to collect documents, enforce CCTV and they need to be made to report behavior to the police that is odd like long term stay in a hotel and multiple visitations...if you see something, same something. They could have explosives in their hotel buildings putting them at risk...Govt needs to educate hotel owners and managers.

A waste of money and resources....when my roofer wanted to do this shit, I told him I don't need it that high...we cut it to about half the size...I am not sure people realize the amount of unnecessary materials being used for something not needed.

They often say it allows more space so hot air would flow easily...but if I am planning to install POP and AC anyways, why could that matter.. They actually look ugly from afar...something people barely consider...how can the height of the roof be almost the height of the house from the base?

Wasn't there an agreement? Why is it that people always want you to beg for money that you have earned? Reminds me of useless tenants...they know when the rent is due, but they will still expect landlord to pursue...even if you don't have it yet...act like Omoluabi and contact the Landlord in advance. They act like paying rent is doing you a favor. She has offered her services...why make her wait while you take your pictures? So rude and disrespectful...if her makeup artist was a white woman, would she try that nonsense?

I used to have a client like that...I collected my money and told her I wouldn't work with her daughter anymore. She thought it was a joke. She always delays payment...after 3 or 4 opportunities, I was done. She was telling people to beg me... it's not about begging me. You do not respect me and respect what I do. It's always us. It is so demeaning ...you are threatening her you might not pay her...it is not her fault... the useless court system we have. In the US, a Lawyer will quickly take up the case, and she will pay for the time she spent waiting and court costs...N250k will become N500k sharp.

Can you post the survey report here? Maybe there was recommendation was certain amount of casings that you didn't do to specification. Some times the borehole companies also shortchange people so one need to read the meters of casings, ask the length of each casing and make sure the numbers match...if each casing is 3m and you need 42m, you will need 14 casings or 15 just to be sure.

Grupo:
Hello all,

Please I drilled a new borehole for my village house.

According to the geologist who did the survey, we'd get water at 65 meters. So I paid him to bring drillers to drill 65m well.

After the whole drilling and installation, and flushing of the well, I noticed that each time I pump the water, the well brings out dirty brown water for like 20 minutes before it starts bringing out clean water.

And the next time I pump the water, it repeats the same way. I have contacted the drilling company and they are not saying anything useful.

Please I will appreciate contributions from experienced people on how to navigate this challenge.

Please @mods, or the mod in charge of this section, kindly help me push this to the front page. I really need opinions.

Thanks.

News of a secret meeting among extremists to discuss mass deportations, including of citizens from immigrant backgrounds, has shaken the society.

By Christopher F. Schuetze
Reporting from Berlin

Jan. 20, 2024, 12:01 a.m. ET

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in protest against the far-right party Alternative for Germany, known as AfD, in recent days. Legal scholars are discussing whether the party can be banned. Political leaders are warning of a fundamental threat to society.

“I will say it clearly and harshly: Right-wing extremists are attacking our democracy,” Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in his weekly video message to Germans on Friday. “They want to destroy our cohesion.”

While it is not uncommon for German politicians to warn against the far right, the alarm has taken on new urgency since it was revealed that far-right leaders had held a secret meeting late last year to discuss mass deportations — not just of illegal migrants, but even of German citizens who immigrated to the country, who they do not consider to be fully assimilated.

“It’s the famous straw that broke the camel’s back,” said Matthias Quent, a sociologist who has spent years studying the far right. “It was a trigger for something and it’s not only about the meeting, but the strengthening of the AfD, which frightens many people.”

The AfD has enjoyed a surge in polls for months as discontent has grown with Germany’s cumbersome three-party government, along with fear of uncontrolled immigration. While only 10 percent of Germans voted for the AfD during the last nationwide election in 2020, the party is currently polling at record levels — just under 25 percent nationwide, and well above 30 percent in eastern states, which will hold elections later this year.

Fear of an ascending AfD has turned nearly to panic since Correctiv, a small crowd-funded investigative news site, revealed last week the private meeting of far-fight politicians, businessmen and several neo-Nazis at the end of November.

At a Standstill: Germany’s economy contracted 0.3% in 2023, making it not only the largest economy but also the slowest growing among the 20 countries using the euro.
A Boost for the AfD: Voters in eastern Germany elected a far-right city mayor, a reflection of the surging popularity of the nationalist party Alternative for Germany.
Budget: Nearly a month after a court ruling left a hole in Germany’s 2024 budget, the government in Berlin introduced a new spending plan that included cuts in programs to address climate change and was expected to comply with constitutional rules against taking on new debt.
The main speaker at the event was an Austrian extreme-right proponent, Martin Sellner, who uses the term “remigration,” a buzzword in the extremist scene that denotes long-term deportation strategies.

Mr. Sellner confirmed that he was part of the meeting, but denied that he spoke of deporting German citizens — despite the fact that he has publicly called for exactly that.

Correctiv documented the meeting using hidden cameras, witness accounts and one undercover reporter, who checked in to the hotel where the meeting took place under an assumed name.

Organized by a right-wing dentist and a businessman who is behind a successful self-serve bakery chain, the meeting brought together roughly two dozen participants who were asked to donate 5,000 euros. The gathering took place in an elegant country hotel near Potsdam, Germany, not far from the villa where, more than eight decades ago, Nazi officers planned the “final solution,” their terrible plan to kill European Jews.

“The vocabulary is no different, the place is no different — the only difference is that we have been there before,” said Andrea Römmele, a professor at the Hertie School in Berlin.

News of the meeting has reverberated through the country. On Wednesday night, theaters across the country broadcast professional actors performing an interpretive reading of Correctiv’s report.

The reaction by the AfD, which tries to distance itself from the extreme right, has been mixed. Roland Hartwig, who had attended the meeting, was forced to step down as the personal adviser to Alice Weidel, one of the two leaders of the party. Ms. Weidel, for her part, has accused Correctiv of using “Secret Service methods.”

René Springer, a far-right member of Parliament from Brandenburg, the state in which the meeting took place, wrote on X: “We will deport foreigners back to their home countries. Millions of them. This is not a secret plan. It’s a promise.”

The AfD is being monitored by the country’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a suspected extremist group, a designation that gives intelligence services more surveillance options. The office found that the party is moving farther to the right, to the point where it threatens rights enshrined in the Constitution. Several state chapters are already considered to be extremist groups.

Since the details of the November meeting were revealed last week, thousands of people have taken to the streets in Berlin, Potsdam, Freiburg, Cologne and elsewhere. A demonstration on Friday in Hamburg attracted more than 80,000 people, according to the labor union that co-organized it. More demonstrations are planned for this weekend.

“These demonstrations don’t necessarily mean that the AfD’s poll ratings are going down again,” Professor Römmele said. “But what it does show is that the silent majority is no longer silent — it’s an important signal, both nationally and internationally.”

On Wednesday, after an estimated 30,000 people rallied against the far right in the Western city of Cologne, Mr. Scholz showed his support. “I am grateful that tens of thousands are taking to the streets all over Germany these days — against racism, hate speech and for our liberal democracy,” he said in a post on X. “That gives us courage and shows us: We democrats are many — much more than those who want to divide.”

During a special session of the country’s Parliament on Thursday, Nancy Faeser, the country’s interior minister, who is responsible for national security, joined the chorus of those warning of danger. “The greatest threat to our basic democratic order is right-wing extremism,” she told lawmakers.

But the AfD’s widening appeal has presented a quandary over what to do about it. Many of its supporters say they already hold a deep suspicion of the government and feel increasingly unheard and disenfranchised. Many of its opponents fear that banning the party would only reinforce those feelings.

Yet more than 700,000 people have signed an online petition to consider a ban on the AfD. Marco Wanderwitz, a politician with the conservative Christian Democrats party who was formerly in charge of dealing with East Germany, is trying to convince his colleagues in Parliament to vote for such a ban.


But not everyone is convinced that banning the party outright is a good idea.

“The most effective means against the enemies of democracy are not repression, bans and the like,” Philipp Amthor, another Christian Democrats lawmaker, said on Thursday. “The most effective means of preserving a defensible democracy are better arguments, good politics and good governance.”

You do not fight unconventional warfare with a conventional approach. Some of these bandits have explosives and they are scattered. I do feel drone technology should follow their missions.

Why Nigerian Army they fire gun without tactics like they don't basic formation training?

This is very poor... Zero coordinations

They just use number and heavier fire power to overcome their enemy... Is that the tactics

This is poor we can do better

You can recruit females to do other duties other than being on the frontline. There are some things that females are great at...and some females are not being recruited into Elite Military forces in the US. Israel has a lot of female soldiers as well. We need to diversify, and if the females choose not to apply then that is different. We should not box all men or box all women. Maybe if we had more female bosses, there would be less sexual harassment and sex for promotion...Just saying. This is a good policy. I embrace it fully. Besides, boys have 65% slots to fill up.

gebest:
In this kind of insecurities you are talking about 35% to be female, oga abeg recruits boys into all the force, increase their salaries by 100% and you will see difference. You don't care about the welfare of force men yet you are expecting miracles from them. Give them good salaries then you will see miracles from them, I did not talk about allowances because their boss will still cheat them but the ones that get to them directly is their salaries, so just increase their salaries drastically that's all and people will be attracted to join the force, it's just a simple arithmetic.

confused fool, big fool lol

You don’t have to tell me how to insult you...lol. I choose my words myself and I will repeat it again You are just a big fool.

Good start...take note of all the abandoned buildings in the country...allow 60-90 days for people to claim them or demolish them...then clear all the bushes and shanties...these will be great starts...then enter the forest and clear them in such a way that they are easily accessible, and can be monitored by drones.

We also need to sanitize our landlords on who they are renting to..get NIN, then Local Govt should create a database for landlords to put in information about their tenants or tenants will get clearance certificates that must be presented before being rented to. We have no clue whatsoever about those who live with us or dwell with us in Nigeria...locals or foreigners.

Read his autobiography...he is not entirely religious but he respects the institution, and they also support his war in Ukraine...which is why the Pope cant get in between the war because the Russia Orthodox Church is as old as the Catholic Church.

WriterNig:
🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin took a dip in icy waters to mark the Orthodox feast of Epiphany in the wee hours of January 19, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

When asked if the president had taken an Epiphany dip, Peskov said: "Yes, he did it to mark Epiphany according to tradition."

Epiphany (Baptism) bathing is one of the oldest folk traditions existing in Russia. The Christian holiday commemorates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River.

Orthodox believers across the world celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, one of the main Christian holidays, on January 19. Epiphany bathing usually takes place in the early morning hours of January 19.

The Kremlin first publicized Putin’s Epiphany exploits in 2018. According to Peskov, previously, the president followed the tradition, but didn’t advertise it. Last year, the head of state took his icy dip in a Moscow suburb.

This is very true. Some of these apps are not even owned by Nigerians. I have said it before...CBN or Naija Govt need their apps...or fix many policies that can help with remittances. You can create an insured account, so when people want to buy houses...they can pay into such accounts, then once the deal has been confirmed by the buyer, it will be released to the seller. If Govt can do that and help with land registration and tracking, housing policies around landlord-tenant fast-tracking these issues, and investment banks with fixed interests for Diaspora remittances, you will get people sending money into Govt coffers.

I watched a whole Japenese series, and the actors ate their noodles, drove Hyundai cars, and so on...even abroad, the Japanese will buy Toyota and so on...the level of loyalty to their country is so high...Nigerians, ' level of patriotism is low. Govt is not helping. They need to do better to get more direct remittances.
