If ECOWAS is united....invade and remove and secure Niger. A secured Niger will secure Nigeria

fergie001:
Residents of Niger's capital city, Niamey, yesterday, called for the immediate enlistment of volunteers to bolster the army's capabilities, due to the increasing danger posed by ECOWAS, which has announced its intent to resort to military measures unless the ousted President Mohamed Bazoum is reinstated.

This is not Nigeria...so shit happens everywhere. They didnt have the resources to save him. May his soul rest in peace.

Even people like Tiwa Savage know the truth...independent women still want men but they dont want to be under men...las las they stay jealous of women with husbands but the idiot women think she is more free being independent and join the sorrow train.

You don talk everything Baba. One big bowl of egusi for you

People drive in Nigeria as if they have seven lives. I always tell the driver that picks me up...please wait and let that vehicle pass...that 5 seconds wont kill my arrival time. As a defensive driver, I am always shocked how we take driving with levity...a very dangerous thing...once you lose control of the car...there is nothing that can save you...if its pouring cats and dogs, and you cant drive...be like the Americans...pull to a safe place and wait. Always look at your side and rearview mirror and get away from those the devil has possessed to pass you...Dont let anyone take you to an early grave. The smallest hole...some will try to drive into it...even sidewalks and highway sides not meant for vehicles, I see Nigerians driving by it...so accident news sadly dont surprise me anymore. I tell everyone stay awake and caution your driver lest you wake up dead in a strange land.

Doesnt matter how much money or independent a woman claims to be...she will always be jealous of women that have Heads and under the care and love of men. Money and Independence cant replace men..Find how you complement, and let him lead...women want to control men...well men are men...from the days of Ceasar...and Adam, Men are meant to lead.

Almiron:
Nigerian Afrobeats Queen, Tiwa Savage during a recent show advised women to be independent during a recent concert.

The famous artist recently underlined the value of a woman’s independence at a concert. Tiwa remarked that since she has her own resources, all he needs is a partner who can match her dynamism.

She said that even in the end, males would still shatter women’s hearts, therefore it’s better to grieve in luxury than cry broken.

Tiwa Savage made this comment while performing. She said; “ I am not encouraging runs, I am not saying you should go after a man for his money but I’m saying it’s sweet when you also spend your money. Because I have my own money as you can see.

“So all I am saying is you need to match my energy because they will still break your heart anyway. So it’s better for you to cry with your Christian Dior-Dior-Dior, your Birkin bag, and your private jet to Dubai”.

Smart advice...couldnt advice any better. The man in your life is lucky...

Puss360:
Don't collect loan ...
Rent your normal 120 k....
Do the plumbing for water.... Down...
Charge your 120k...
Once they pay, you use it to buy tank and connect water.....
Next rent make it to be 150 max... Then you explain that "Because of the water running that's why the increment"...
In the event they refuse, then they pack out and you give the incoming tenant 180k...

Don't borrow loan for building or house renovation....

A small me meets the LEGEND...the 1996 Gold Medalist winner...Equalizer and winning goal against BRAZIL. No one slept that night...the comeback is one for the ages. God bless Mr. Kanu and all our legend, and seeing you in Nigeria and also in UK when we landed was Godsent.

The problem is not the allocation but the transparency. If the offices shows what they received, who they gave contract to and the number of people employed directly and indirectly to make the furniture... it's a way to stimulate the economy. The problem we have in Nigeria is diversion for personal benefits, and the same people complaining about the politicians also benefit from such diversions if they are immediate or distant family members. Furniture you will see on Amazon for $150...the DC Govt will buy them for $600 from contractors. They have to be open about it...those companies buy and make in America and also indirectly fund their campaigns. At least, we know what we are getting...corrupt politicians.

Don't mean to be funny or insensitive...stories like this make me wonder if people are truly under spiritual attacks...the whole thing makes no sense.

I won't advice he moves in with you because whatever plaques him can become what will drain you as well. Help from afar and start minimizing because you can continue to encourage bad behavior.

For all you know, he might be on drugs, was fired and making up all these stories.

Battlefield2:
Seriously, I'm pained right now,how can one decide to be stvpid and senseless at the same time
Before I begin, I swear to God who made me, this is not a lie,this is a true story....The story may seem long

So I have this friend, a close friend that works in a bank in Lag, he lives In his family house because his parents are late and he earns 70k plus,though he complains every now and then that the salary isn't much, if he collects salary by month end, before the 10th of the following month,he is already calling me for help on transports and all that and once in a while I help him with 1k or 2k to take transports and all that.

Last weekend,he was discussing with me on WhatsApp about car washing business,telling me it's lucrative and all those....I didn't pay much attention to it until he called me on Thursday and started crying...I asked him the problem,he told me a cousin of his sweet talk him into car washing business that it is lucrative and he can earn as much as 5k a day washing cars and he dropped the bombshell

He told me he sent in his resignation letter on Monday and Parked out of his family house telling those ones that he has been transferred to another branch, he moved to the one room apartment the car washing company provided to him n 3 other guys and started work. He said he hoped in his mind that if he can make 5k a day, he can save as much as 3-4k daily and that is a big improvement to the bank work

The reason for the lamentations now was things are not the way his cousin told him,he said since last week Monday up till this moment, they have only washed maximum of 3 cars per day and at the end of the day, the owner only gives them 5h each in which he used for eating. I requested for video call on Sunday and he is seriously looking lean and unkempt

He apologized that he didn't seek an advice from me or anyone before taking that bold move, he told me he is seriously depressed and wants me to profer a solution to him

Problem now is,he told me he is ready to quit the work and come to a different state that I am in other to restrategize.....I don't know what to tell him because I don't have much too and I'm struggling too because I'm sure if he comes,I will be fully responsible for feeding and all that
Moreso,I can't tell him "No" because right now,he has no where to go,his parents are late and he has already packed out of his family house rendering him homeless,moreso he is my very good friend

So I seek an advise from you all
Pls advise me, I'm confused!

Pouring concrete on miss even with the steel reinforcement is bad engineering. Concrete needs a stable base to prevent failure. In few years, the reinforced steel drainage will survive with the adjacent asphalt gone and road back to useless with loads. You excavate the mud, put stable base of inches based on load bearing and steel reinforced concrete…forces will push against badly done drainage system

Gratitude is everything...I became a fan of yours. I see them all the time...they drive, I am on okada..they are still complaining lol

Zxcvbnmghtr:
How can I be? I am always contented with what I have. I have observed over the years and have discovered that people just love complaining in this country.

You will come across people who are able to afford good shelter, good cloths, good car, good education, good health care and so much more still complaining as if nothing good is going on in their lives.

The level of ingratitude by Nigerians is unspeakable. It is a norm to always complain no matter what.

As for me, am grateful and happy. Cheers no hard feelings.

Send an email to IDAGBA Empowerment Foundation…you will need to demonstrate your sincerity with evidence and be willing to make some life changes If advised to do so. We empower.

beautifulsoul12:
Good morning everyone. I have to create this account to post this.
I can't even sleep at night lately.

I'm so tired and I need help right now. I have been doing this all by myself for so long now, without much complain but now, I need help.
Before I got married to my husband, I didn't know he had a seasonal mental health challenge, but not violent.

I met him in the university, he was in medicine, he had dreams, very ambitious, one of the best in his department, Working his way to travel abroad to continue his education. We were just friends, but I liked him. He kept on asking me out, but I declined. I wanted to graduate first.
We parted ways in year two. He changed school, so, I knew nothing about him again till years later.
Reconnected with him years later after graduation, to my greatest surprise, he didn't graduate, wasted all his resources and couldn't travel out. We still love each other, so we got married.
after the birth of my first child, I wanted to leave him, but I couldn't because he was a good man, but with too many changes and I was the only one who truly care and was there for him.
Three years ago, he became much better. He got a small job, Started bringing in little for upkeep. I saw change and I was happy. We had our second child last year after 8yrs.
Since early this year, the whole thing came up again. Since then, he became jobless again.
The financial burden is all on me. Right now, we can't afford to renew our rent.
I lost my business capital some times ago in wrong business, since then, it has been so much struggles.

I'm trying hard but it's not enough.
I'm thinking of working away, but to where? what about my children? Who will be there for them? What about him? But I'm tired of being in a marriage where I have to struggle for everything, where I can not depend on my man.
Pls, help us renew our house rent.

What do I do?

Hearing those ladies laughing with robbery in progress shows we have descended low as a society. Even if you feel like the police responded because it was a gold store and won't respond if it was unknown gunmen, why would they be laughing about that? They would have been picked up in another country because they seem to be acting as lookout for the criminals or trying to record police tactics. Investigation will then clear them after discovering they were being stupid because stray bullets could have killed them

Tenants pay N10,000 for 2 drums per month in Iwo Road Ibadan for twice a month carry which is N2500 per drum per carry and N8,000 for 2 drums in Orogun, Ibadan per carry which is N4,000 per drum and N16,000 for twice a month carry. Seems Lagos is way more cheaper than Ibadan....Chai. We need Oyo State to be doing this so prices can drop like Lagos...the private refuse folks are fleecing people big time.

Greedy bunch of evil gender

That is why we need tons of NGO and non-profits. I benefitted from those myself and my foundation IDAGBA Empowerment Foundation is paying it forward. We need loans, scholarships and more funds to improve our universities. Let us weed those that are not serious about education so they can learn trades or non degree certification jobs.

Throwback:
OK.

We know things are cheap here.

Truth is we have become used to paying next to nothing for everything.

From house maids and other domestic servants, to fees we pay artisans doing plumbing or carpentary work etc.

We should improve the standard of our education, so that Nigerians who are ready to pay thousands of dollars abroad can come back to pay similar amount within the Nigerian education system.

The only thing I would plead for is that firstly, loans should be available for those who want a university education but cannot afford it. And I believe that has already been signed into law.

Secondly, their should be enough local scholarships to aid very brilliant students who cannot afford it. All the Nigerian entities should stop all foreign scholarships and focus on local scholarships within the soon to be costly tertiary education in Nigeria.

Enough of cheap but worthless education.

Enough of subsidizing education for Nigerians who want to go work abroad with colleagues who themselves are using their salary to repay loans they took to have an education.

We should stop subsidizing the work force of developed countries.

Drainage system is an expensive project. I once worked with our community to fix a 30yr flooding issue with underground pipes affecting like 10 houses in one row...cost ...over $100,000 = N80m so most of these drainage system in Nigeria ought to be piped with PVC under the street so water can drain into them and it can carry the rain to central points....but PVC are so expensive, so we go with gutters

The problem...gutters fail...gully erosion can sweep sand under gutters and collapse them. Fed Govt gave some states funding which they are using to do concrete barriers...though great move but they can still collapse compare to PVC pipes which can last decades.

The issue is very complicated. Govt has maps of all these things....but don't want to demolish and create more problems. In leadership, every decision has unintended consequences...and cost will be a factor. If a Governor spends 4yrs fixing drainage due to cost..will he be reelected? There in lies the problem with good governance and political calculations

Omihanifa:
Every rainy season in nigeria same story
Can't the government just use that period of dry season to correct all these anomalies?

and yet he is wearing Tinubu hat...fear humans

danvon:
He's making it clear that his true loyalty does not lie with Tinubu

This is the only man that can give him protection.

Not trapped o...there was traffic and he decided not to use sirens. The road might even be Federal...when we say Govt ain't doing much...how much is it to fix all the roads and pay workers? Even US and UK get bad roads...abegi

I never understand why people ain't solarized. My parents especially my Mom has been enjoying her BeeBeeJump solar for few years now...less than N10k per month in some cases...Solar freezers are available among other things...the fumes from Generator is a silent killing machine....Carbon monoxide/carbon dioxide sapping all oxygen in the community.

AfahaAbia:
U're talking nonsense

It's not the refueling...it's just as expensive from UK to Nigeria and US to Nigeria...then again, how many people paid attention in Economics class....Scarce resources...if the outrageous fuel is impacting demand, they won't fly.

Iamzik:
This has nothing to do with demand.

Nigeria charges foreign airlines outrageous amount to park and refuel. You think the airlines will not pass the cost to passengers??

Abeg most of them are not learning in schools anyways. Let the serious ones go and study and know that they can't waste their parent's money anyhow ..if you get carryover with these tuition fees...your village people have finally finished you be that. Education ain't cheap..those who deserve it will get it once govt implements Welfare, scholarships and we all chip in to help the best amongst us.

a4cube:
By September many private school will be empty. School fees increase will pursue many enter public school.

University drop out number will increase which will lead to increase in Robbery and prostitution. Its a chain reaction.

Due to many reasons
1. Nigerians have money and demand and price and supply. If they are losing money due to High price points, they would have lowered it.

2. Summer and students are starting school in the Fall. We have lots of Nigerians attending UK schools ..high school, University and Post Grad...they come home during the summer and need to return back. The airlines know this too.

3. They can't repatriate their dollars due to limited supply in Nigeria and you are buying in Naira, so they increase the amount so the Naira won't make them have a loss when dollars become available. For example...you charge N500 and can't remove it during Emefiele...now it's less than $1 when it was over $1 at that time.

4. Nigeria is a country of 200 million plus people..stop comparing us to ants like Benin or Cotonou. I am sure Lagos alone can dwarf both countries combined Lol

qwertyuioplm:
What's the cause of this why is Nigeria own higher than others,were we not paying subsidy for Benin?
