To every gallant soldier out there. The system might ridicule and deplete the required prestige of a field soldier but no shy away from the fact that it's a bold step to want to be a soldier, most especially one in Nigeria.

God bless our dear nation..

We both left home at 18.
You cleared JAMB
I got recommended.
You got UNIVERSITY,
I got NDA.
You pursued your degree,
I had the toughest training.
Your day started at 7 and ended at 5,
Mine started at 4 till 9 and
Some nights also included.
You had your convocation ceremony,
I had my POP.
Best company took you and
Best package was awarded,
I was ordered to join my platoon
With 2 stars piped on my shoulders.
You got a job,
I got a way of life.
Every eve you got to see your family,
I just wished i got to see my parents soon.
You celebrated festivals with lights and music,
I celebrated with my comrade in bunkers.
We both married,
Your wife got to see you everyday,
My wife just wished i was alive.
You were sent to business trips,
I was sent on line of control.
We both returned,
Both wives couldn't control their tears, but
You wiped her but,
I couldn't.
You hugged her but,
I couldn't.
Because I was lying in the coffin,
With medals on my chest and,
Coffin wrapped with tricolour.
My way of life ended,
Yours continued.
We both left home at 18.

I dedicate this to every soldier and uniform person out there, we don't understand what you do and the sacrifices you make, but know that we are eternally grateful!

Copied..

What will happen to these bikes on a long run now. I pity most of these people cos they had to obtain hard loans to purchase bike, some on outrageous instalment. Clamping down their bikes would plum them into depression and suicides...

Emotional speeches everywhere......... With due respect sir, Beta is only personally known to you and not to millions of Nigeria she's answerable to. If eventually found guilty, let her carry her cross and move. There are many young vibrant and articulate Nigerians who can be chosen to fill any vacant public offices.

We are into prob and sack era bayi!!!

Is it not illogical that too many funds are litters everywhere in that department?... . Normally, they should be one of the department lacking adequate money as someone opined, then people could solicit for more fund on behalf of the department. This department has no business hoarding funds or misappropriating it. It's called a humanitarian and poverty alleviation scheme for crying loud.

Nonywendy:
Nothing go still comot. She will still be discharged soon. All these na gra gra

Would you rather have her killed? Let her undergo the screening process first before you crucify her ńa. At times we Nigerians don't know what we want self. This lady has not been convicted yet, she's still under investigation.

Just one tweet o!! There is power in words indeed.

Who would have thought that her little tweet would bring the family so much fortune.

And the babe has been receiving enormous donations from other users since she made that tweet. It was around 2m plus the last time I check. She Don dey fear sef, she tell people e don do

Others dey ask her to cut soap for them too

Currently seeing the 6th episode. I think the movie is not bad. The suspense is intense, the story line partially unmask the corruptible acts going on in Nigeria polity. Big men greediness, how politicians manipulate and squeeze their ways into the office and all other absurdities perpetuated by the elites...

Afrobasic:
I long for the day when Nigerians would wake up and reject these crooks.

If to go by that label, then we are all crooks, no one will be left out. They (govns) and politicians are Nigerians as U are. Most of them come from humble backgrounds as many Nigerians. Invariably, we are them and they are us. The only difference is that they belong to a ruling class and they are privilege to be there while we groans and lament because we are not lucky enough to be where they are. There is probability a certain number of us would not fare better if saddled with such responsibility.

Give a Nigerians a change to dip his hand in public coffers and watch him gulp and siphon more money he will not need to secure the lives of his family and his future first to the detriment of average Nigerians whose responsibility should basically lies on his shoulder.

Good day, y'all deserve them. I won't be surprised if portable is your favorite

Good. Nigerians are as gifted as every other countries in the world. Portable is a notable and public figure, he's good in what he does. Go on his page and see millions of followers following him. I call that grace.... Do not destroy if you cannot make one ur sef. Have a nice day bro....

Offpoint1:
If critique is "bad balle" to you, then you have a long way to go in life.

Folks like you are the type that remains stagnant in life because you pay deaf ears to corrections.

You called calling people's creativities 'nonsense' and wacks critique? Do U even know the basic meaning of that word? That quote of yours has nothing to do with critism but an attempt to downplay other people's ideas and God given gifts. But trust me people that troops in to Nairaland these days can not engage in a civil conversation. See how U came out to always prove us silent readers right. All iz well

Good news! I but my problem is that any positive news in this country never last. But bad news seems to linger on our heads for so long. Why

Offpoint1:
In all honesty, this current generation lack taste for music.

Seems music left Nigeria from 2008-2010.


I'm stuck with 90s music, Gen-Z music na crap.


The worse I'm seeing lately is shalipopo and odumudu black... Nigeria music has gone this bad with wack lyrics.

If Grammy was truly by merit, no Nigeria musician currently deserves shxt, in fact for the past 10 years, none deserve shxt.

Wizkid, Davido, Burna boy are all media hype and heck mentality. These guys are craps musically without media hypes. They wouldn't survive 90s and early 2000

See how it is easy for you to badly contempt and badmouth the creativities of others to massage ur ego. Do you even know what it takes to be creative, or to make contents? Do U know where these guys started from or what they av been through before they hit the space? Have U ever created something that worth adoring or interesting by others? Piece of advice to U my friend "stop playing bad belle" it's not healthy. I come in peace o..

Ensquare:
Yes, if no then we shouldnt eat any other animal.
The golden rule is 'All animal are equal '

Point of correction sir, the same saying that says 'All animals are equal' has the last part that say "But some animals are more equal than the other. You can't go into wilderness to hunt a lion with a dāne guns or some random machete as you will hunt down squirrel with the same objects.

Now, back to the topic, no creation of God with flesh is not sweet when well cooked or roasted (including humans) but common ṣense and human disposition would help you to select the animals to feast on.

Beremx:
You'll be surprised when she finally appears for interrogation, she'll either be on wheel chair or bandages. Na their way

Or even wheel barrow

The worst think that could happen to a man is to be money insufficient, there will be no positive thinking or ideas.

Piggy bank is Bae if you asked me. But such money can only be dedicated for materialistic acquisition, since it will not bring any returns...... Just like money kept in the bank could only be useful for banks and not the depositor.

I stumbled on this write up on one of the pages online, so i felt to share with Nairaland family 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Could this be practically implementable?

Judging from the fact that there will be an unforseen circumstances that would derail the plans, do you think anyone can keep up with these plans without exclusion?

Good luck to everyone this year....

When economy no green settle down, how man go settle down

How would u not settle down for less?

With societal wants and direction, family's pressure is also there amongst others...

But left ti me, I'm tired of single-hold, I feel a positive vibe when girl friend come to spend a day or two. Lol.

But when U rush in, U get bored. That's another factor.

People no get money, but where Una dey get money buy banger and firelight [center][/center]

Come my area now, fire flying everywhere like war film

Aside from those going to church. How do U want ur night to go.

I'm still thinking about mine....



Happy new year in advance...


Good luck to everyone...

Hmm. Make dem sha produce more meaningful movies come 2024. These are things that keeps our society more lively amidst trying times...

This period of the year is the most dangerous for travellers. People aims to finish the year on a good note by moving according to their plans, only to end up a victim of unforseen circumstances.

However, one would die one way or the other. We rebuke painful death in our abodes as the year close in to an end...

As substantial as this write up is, unfortunately it's not the reality in today's world. No work is enough to cater for the house any longer, no money is enough to spend..... Our economy is bastardize to the extent that everyone sees full house wife idea as a gross irresponsibility. Spouses will have to take more responsibilities. BUT, the man must be an ultimate provider in order to be able to decide when it matters

You are very right, I think the reason is because it's always 3 weeks camping hence, there will be no need for a permanent camp according to them which is against all sane senses though. The camps are always in a dilapidated state. No where to defecate and have proper bath.

In nysc camp, some 'ajebutter' guys will find it difficult to join the queue for camp food . They will just go straight to the mammy and eat out with their personal money.

alot of street folks see an opportunity in this and use their ticket to take extra meal.

The camp food is mostly a mess anyway. They will serve all the camp officials before diluting the rest with so much water so that it can go round the camp not minding the quality

By Nigeriastories

For those who have been to Nysc camp in Nigeria, or people who have closely stayed withing the army barracks, you must be conversant with the term "MAMMY MARKET". Here is how the term came to light :

mammy market is a place close to the barracks, where soldiers’ interact and buy their daily needs.
mammy market was named after a woman called Mammy Ochefu In 1955 at Enugu.

She is the wife of late military Governor of defunct East-Central state, Col. Anthony Aboki Ochefu, where she sold a local non-alcoholic beverage called enyi to support her family.

After taking a week break at home due to complaints from people that the drink attracted flies, pressure from her clients inspired a Lieutenant Colonel to build her a kiosk to make it more conducive.

Her family was later posted out of Enugu to Abeokuta but Mammy continued the business wherever they were posted to while she added snacks that would interest the soldiers’.

Interestingly, whenever her family was transferred to another state, she would hand over the business to women who were interested in it but asked that they retain the name.

Mammy registered her business as “Mammy Market” in 1971. By the time her husband retired, the business had grown into a supermarket and a transport business.

Till date when ever a military barrack is built a mammy market is always built with it. Mammy market are also created in NYSC orientation camps.

Just last week I almost got trapped into a loan shark system. I had a need for just 5k to complete a money, it's very very imperative that I make a swift complete transaction. I don't know how to ask money from even my close pal less talk of a family members who I always wish to give to and not to take from them. I'm also of the believe that nothing could tempt me to apply for loan from these loan app. But temptation is not a respecter of anyone. I made use of the app I have on my phone from default, when it got to the last step to submit, it pop up an error and I never thought twice to retry I took it as a red flag for me and I backed down.

This is why I don't waste 'RIP' like that on death news........your 'rip' wishes are not substantial anyway.

See this one playing with people's emotions and rubbing it on their faces.

Naija for cruise...

I've come to realize that we only talk down on people who occupies public offices, most especially the newly elected ones simply because we are not the one elected. I mean is it not thesame people among us that gets elected into these offices? I've U ever thought of how you might rule or behave if you have the opportunity? This is to tell you that we've been agitating and clamoring for a dead and fail courses. We've been hypocritically looking for angels among us to occupy powers and drive things right over the night. No, it won't come. We don't have angels among us, we only have human of flesh. But only a good system could present us the kind of nation we crave for.

The system would drive and structure the nation the way we've ever wanted it.

We should all throw in towels and ask for the restructuring of this country instead of running for voters card every for years hoping to smuggle in an angel.

Restructuring is the only solution to all these shenanigans, except the other option which is also to restructure the nation.
