Nelchuksmandela:
Good day Niralanders,

I need your sincere advice on my present situation.
Please ignore any grammatical error or punctuation. I’m the first son of my family, my father is an average Nigerian trader, he single handedly sponsored my schooling from nursery to higher institution.

After my service year, one of his friends scammed him of 300k in the name of they will get me a job in NUPENG before he paid that money I told him my pastor’s revelation about the NUPENG job, which my pastor said She does not like the job and shared ill references associated to the job with me and I told my dad when I got home, he countered and rebuked the revelation, he doesn’t take any of our advice, he finally fell for the scam.

To cut the long story short, I’m now working class that earn 75k monthly, however I’m still squatting with a friend and I’m still struggling to survive.

Recently I received a call from my dad, he told me he needs 500k for trading, that he wants me to take loan on his behalf he will be paying the debt once it’s due, since he is yet to complete the outstanding loan he took from the same bank, which is remaining 3 months to complete. I later discovered he had another debt he’s still servicing (Paying ) of a different bank that is remaining 6 months to complete.
After pondering over it i asked him; what if he defaults what will happen ? he shunned me and said why will I be negative and I politely told him my mind that I cannot help the current issue. Since then he started reporting me to my mum relatives to talk to in order to accept and collect the loan of 500k on his behalf.

Please your advise on this will be helpful.
Thank you.

I wish my dad was alive, so I can take a loan on his behalf, then not look up to him to pay it.

I have had a couple of turkeys over the years, both local and exotic breeds for breeding and as garden pets.

Turkeys are quite hardy and I barely lost any turkey once its over 6weeks of age over my years of raising them. The earliest I have had my female turkeys laying is 6months and 3 weeks, while some silly ones started laying at 10months of age .

With regards to their egg incubation period, let's just put it at 28 days (+/-2 ), same as my ducks. Sometimes, I even give the eggs to my ducks to help out .

To your question, you clearly stated your turkeys are females right? Are there any male turkeys around?

If No? Then if truly your turkeys are brooding over eggs in the wild, they will most likely stay on the eggs till it either dies or gets lucky something gets it off the eggs for it to come back home. This is because the eggs are unfertilized and it won't be hatching till thy kingdom come.

If Yes? Then a month is a little overboard for its incubation of the eggs. When you say wild, do you mean wild wild? Like with reptiles; snakes, cane rats, crocks and allis etc? Why not go in search of the turkeys and collect their eggs, force them to incubate it in a place close to the house before something in the wild harms them?

There's a a male among them but they abandoned it.

I'd only I'm home, just maybe I will make efforts to trace them. But no wahala, this will serve as a lesson to me, should I consider rearing more turkey.

@Jidestroud,

Good morning.

Please what's your experience with rearing turkeys?
Two of the turkeys I had are female, they disappeared soon after they started laying and one was later seen around and vanished too. I was hoping they were brooding (where? I don't know) would return soon after. It has been over months and no eight of them.

Is there a possibility they can survive that long in the wild? Especially considering the rainy season and does the egg really take that long to hatch? That's assuming brooding is the reason they disappeared.

Thank you

The Return of The #GuilderUltimateSearch excites me and brings back fond memories, as it is one reality show that I can totally relate with.

I applied and was shortlisted for the auditioning holding at various locations in Enugu. The First stage was without too many events and I got to the second stage which held at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium. Being fresh from the #NUGAGAMES and still boiling, I jogged through the 800 metres race leaving my mates almost at the half way mark. I still remember with pride, how one of the anchors tried to push me back on track, only for one pretty lady among them to tell him to leave me as I was the fastest guy.

Fast forward to the next stage the next day at one yeye hotel Like that (I don't know why they didn't dry up the swimming pool so we can just jump over the swimming stage).
It is not like Jesus couldn't swim when he chose to walk on water instead, nor like God couldn't have led the Israelites through the sea without parting it, but it was what it was.
"Can you swim?" Questioned the thunderous voice of the anchor, while I muttered my reply and he repeated cameras pointed at me "Can you Swim?" Instructing that I should reply in a more audible voice, with what my reply must be either in the negative or otherwise.

As sharp Nwa Aba that they called me I replied, with a voice that spoke my fear, wondering how I was going to prove my claim.
Carnal People, all of them; they didn't believe and instead of them to ask me to swear that I could and let me move to the next stage, they lined us up, and with the blast of the whistle guys started 'kabooming' into the pool I couldn't be left out and disgrace my village people as their sole representative, while other dived, I simply Jumped in and like Jesus my father, walked, maybe not 'on', but under the water, bending forward and like Moses, tried to part the waters with my hands, but not a staff. I kept on the pitiable move, hoping they would be convinced by my effort until I got to a deeper part of the pool and was almost struggling to keep my head above the waters when they threw in a tube which I gladly grabbed.(why they didn't give me the tube in the beginning, I don't get.)
And that tube effectively ended my quest to be the Ultimate Warrior.
This year, I want to try again, and I would be needing a swimming coach, I believe that with my performance on the track that year, I wouldn't be required to run again, otherwise, I will be needing an athletics coach again.

A CRY FOR HELP!

E go better is a popular Nigerian parlance which has undoubtedly kept us going with the hope for a better tomorrow, a tomorrow we are not now sure of when it will come, a tomorrow that may never come.
It is very true that I may not have had the best, but every other day sinks into a new depressing low, a new low that stinks but yet veiled by grand and misguided optimism whilst the underneath rots away.
I may not have seen, but I have heard of a glorious past, a past I now want to behold with an unquenchable thirst, a Past that I pray you all help to be part of my future, our future.

This post is made with regard to the pain I feel each time I encounter a student of the University of Nigeria Nsukka, My Noble(is it still?) Alma Mater, and this is on a daily basis.
I have put aside writing this for too long, sometimes in want of a more artistic way to put it up and other times questioning the need to even do so as those it directly affects have come to see their predicaments as the norm. Mba! I can’t keep up with it.
The University of Nigeria Nsukka has, in my maybe inconsequential opinion, been reduced to a business centre, unfortunately the market is not made favourable for the other party, the students, are forced to partake in an unbalanced and exploitative trade.
I have hoped that the emergence of the First Home Grown Vice Chancellor predicts a good fortune for the students, but perchance he has not been made aware of the wrath going on in there yet. Hence the need for this Cry for help.
I can not tell of any category of interactions the students undergo where they do not have to be exploited. This bothers me because I wonder how I would have coped in their place.

I remember, Writing UME now UTME or JAMB like we have always known in my time, all that is required of you is to be admitted, and the JAMB sends you your admission Letter to your school at no extra cost whatsoever to the student. These days, JAMB Mandates you to pay an additional fee to access your Admission Letter and an extra one to “correct data” if the course you were offered is not the same as the one you applied for, No that’s not right!
But Alas, we should thank JAMB for being gracious enough to offer them the opportunity to be educated, ok o. (Remember say our President talk say Job no dey even after the kain education).
Then comes the institutionalized exploitation in the name of Acceptance Fee and inexplicable increasing cost of tuition fee without the commensurate increase in the quality of impacted knowledge or infrastructure. (Well this is receipted, so make we overlook am)

What excuse can possibly justify the insistence of faculty officers that newly admitted students MUST purchase new result checking cards from them not minding if they already purchased same while insisting they return them untampered, only for them to recycle the same cards and resell them to other students? We must all, as humans try not to prey on others perceived to be weaker than we are.

Then comes the GS Handbooks that are never handy they are forced to pay for.
Almost all the courses being offered now have hurriedly prepared Textbooks and accompanying ‘Manual and work books’ being bandied as Continuous assessments which the students must also buy. (where dem expect them to dey see money sef?)
Abi na final year supervisors?
I must first commend all those supervisors who embrace their supervisees as their own children and guide them through the task, some of you even go steps further in providing succor and necessary assistance outside your core mandates and I hear of them too and marvel at your show of human kindness, you understand you have been placed higher and others under you for a purpose and your coast shall never shrink. But as for you who task students to fuel your generator to be able to read their work, pay your transport so you can come to school to supervise them, tell them a certain amount of money they must pay while submitting each chapter of their work, May Thunder fire you in Jesus Name.
How about a faculty asking students intending swap to study their dream course to buy laptops costing as much as N 250,000 (Two hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) in this Buhari regime, not for the student use but for the faculty after paying through their nose for the equally high and unnecessary official fee for change of course?
I can go on and on recounting the many depressing tales of financial explotation of students but I will stop so far.
Worst is that the so called students’ leaders who are supposed to speak out for them in the face of these exploitations choose to turn blind eyes to these anomalies while wearing well tailored clothes, appearing smart and focusing instead on areas where they too can make money or embezzle same. No be so e suppose be na
Sometimes I wonder if institutions in Nigeria are built to frustrate the people it was meant to serve.

I am speaking up because it has truly been bad and I sincerely do not want to tell the future generation of how much better it was in my time, I want it to get better because this is My Alma Mater and these students are my younger ones and their parents are mine who have had to waddle through economic uncertainties to provide for the family.
I call upon all who can, to lend a voice to see to the end of all these ‘clandestine hooliganism’ and to all concerned to please have a change of heart, I know we are all trying to bring food to the table, but try to dey fear God

Olajydeey:

See what they had turned church into, imagine one was even wearing cap in church.

I guess defecting would increase the allocation to the respective states or reduce their high level of embezzlement.
Moving from one party to the other is one of the many lows of Nigerian politics. But then, where's the honour among thieves?

pavgfx55:
Hire a graphics designer

you mean, instead of fighting terrorism?

The penchant for shutting down economic activities by Umahi and Ugwuanyi though.

How does it bother the labourer orbtge market woman whose survival depends on the day's income that an obscure politician died. Or that an underperforming governor is being hosted by some psychopathic political jobbers that you should make them suffer more than necessary?

Rest in peace to the dead though, we shall all taste this thing called death.

The best way is for management to ensure links for password can only be sent to registered emails. Or that relevant security questions are asked before the password is reset.

When will out people learn to respect if not appreciate other peoples culture?

King3urna:
Who are the buyers of this body parts that’s another question that need to be asked of all the ones the cut who did they say they are selling to how come we did not hear anything about it anymore hmm Nigeria Una country

Nobody is asking that... Okay, scratch that, the right people are not asking that because they're the direct beneficiaries of these dastardly act. I just need a small super power like this to end some kain people.

luminouz:
He is very lucky it's not a black bear. Those mudafuckers don't care if you are alive or dead, they will tear right into you and start chowing. Don't even turn your back and try to run. A black bear can easily outrun you and also climb trees.

Brown bears are heavy duties but are fooled by the "playing dead" technique. Unless they are very hungry

Since we don't have bears here in Nigeria... We are kinda lucky

no, they're lucky, they would have been a good game for hunters

Which justice again? Hian! I thought they said they were caught up with, killed and incinerated and their dead bodies paraded? Abi una done dey serve justice for after life?

seunmsg:
Malami is a very dull guy. Sadly, Seun Okin is also a very slow interviewer. A smart journalist would have pinned Malami to the ground for making such a silly comparison.

We can only compare selling of spare parts to selling of cows at best. There is no correlation between open grazing and selling of spare parts.

Nobody in the south is against selling of cows. What we are against is open grazing because of its negative effect on crops and the resultant clashes with farmers. There is also the criminality that some criminal elements perpetrate in the name of herding.

People who sell spare parts rent or acquire shops to do their business without trampling on the rights of others. Cattle herders should learn from them and rent or acquire land to do their business without disturbing farmers and constituting themselves to security threats all over the country.

isn't it unfortunate how a state official correlates both?

mespusinglez:
See nigerians

Your types are one of the problems we have in this country

And how so, please?

EmekaBlue:
Let me try to say this very brief.

My girlfriend/fiancee mom fell very ill and her younger sister called me on my way home from a business meeting to inform me, I guess she couldn't reach her sister maybe because she was not picking. My girlfriend stays with me during the weekends...So i got back home,entered the house,saw my girlfriend watching those soap opera like telemundo things as usual...I quickly told her Please get ready we are going to see mom she is very sick, make a list of things we need to get for her so we can buy on our way there...her mom stay in the same state with us.

Guess what?! To my surprise my girl said no need to spend money times are hard, we should just get lucozade boost and paracetamol. I said Ok.

So reaching close to her house area,she got a little confuse and asked this is not the way to your moms house na....I told her it is your mom that is very sick...She started sweating profusely and immediately said what we bought is not Ok o...let us go back and get other things and take her mom to the hospital this and that...she was just vibrating in the car.

What can you say about this?!

why are you making it seem like your personal experience? I have seen this content for over 2 years now

This is where every right thinking law abiding Nigerian should ask themselves questions.
Questions like if we should keep applauding those killing and maiming law enforcement agents or we should stand and condemn them.

This is a tip of how Nigeria would be, should all the police men be killed or choose not to perform their duties. Just a tip.
