The saddest part is that most Nigerians no longer recognize unnecessary suffering when they see it. We have lived with it for so long that we now mistake it for diligence.

A young graduate in Lagos should not have to travel hundreds of kilometers just to obtain a state-of-origin certificate in 2026. A patient should not spend hours waiting in a hospital while basic processes that could be automated are still done manually. A student should not spend the better part of their childhood buried under an overwhelming workload simply because "that's how it has always been."

Hard work is valuable. But hard work should produce value, not waste time.

When a nurse spends her day shouting names instead of using a digital queue system, that is not hard work; it is an inefficient system forcing people to compensate for poor processes.

When students spend twelve years memorizing information they will never use, that is not educational rigor; it is a system that values endurance more than understanding.

When graduates must physically travel across states to collect documents that could be verified electronically in seconds, that is not character-building; it is bureaucracy masquerading as necessity.

Technology was supposed to remove friction from everyday life. Its purpose is not to make people lazy; its purpose is to free human beings from repetitive and unnecessary burdens so they can focus on creativity, problem-solving, innovation, and meaningful work.

The true measure of progress is not how much suffering people can endure. It is how much unnecessary suffering society can eliminate.

A nation develops when it stops glorifying hardship and starts rewarding efficiency.

Our children deserve an education system that develops their talents, not one that merely tests their ability to survive stress. They deserve teachers who inspire curiosity, hospitals that respect their time, and institutions that use technology to simplify life rather than complicate it.

The question should never be, "Did we suffer too?"

The question should be, "How can we make life better for those coming after us?"

‎I was at LASUTH to see a doctor. The registration took 1hr +. Nurses on uniforms suddenly became bus conductors shouting patients names at the top of their voice one after the other. We were more than 50 seated at that registration point. It is close to a new building at LASUTH. Sustainable xxxx...I can't really remember the building name, but that experience left me feeling disappointed in our 'Tech gurus'
‎
‎At the moment, i need a state of origin certificate to apply for Access bank graduate trainee program currently running.
‎

‎I really hope Access bank HR and other related bodies are reading this, because I might have to decline applying for their Graduate Traineeship. And trust me, I'm smart enough for them to want me to choose them.

‎Parents are working 9-5 jobs, while their children are even more hardworking than their parents, working 7:45am -5pm schools.
‎In a school in Ekiti state, each senior secondary student offer 13 -16 subjects. This is not hearsay. Trust me. I served as a corper in one of the schools. And after school closes by 3:30pm, they're told to wait for a compulsory extra lesson while lasts till 5pm. And it's not a free lesson. It's paid for by their parents. Imagine parents paying for their children suffering. Truly, the love of parents triumphs.

‎So children spend Monday - Fridays (7:45am - 5pm) in schools learning 13 subjects, and on Saturdays, they're probably completing their notes or doing 13 different assignments, and then on Sundays, they go to church, rest for some hours and resume school on Monday. And one would expect success independent of theoretical speechification from these children.

6 years of depression, bought and paid for by parents for their children. And I haven't even included the stress from university lecturers who were forced to study a particular course by their parents or society, and after realizing the disappointment of not following their dreams, become sadists, amongst others, who aim to frustrate students with their chants of  "A is for me, B is for your HOD, C are for my loyal students. You can distribute the failures generously amongst yourself"

So you see. It's a snake that eats its own tail.
The university lecturers were once children. The tech Bros and Girls too were once children. But now, each and everyone is either focused on milking these children, who they once were, or ignoring them completely, with silly comments like "school made me tough, if not, I would not be who I am today"

No. Being who you are made you come as a child to suffer in the Nigeria education system so you can be sensitized, through suffering, to create a platform to reduce the suffering of others when the time comes.

What happened to using technology to alleviate the suffering of children through the introduction of a passion+brain-friendly scheme, across all levels, from Primary to University.

1) Mondays- Wednesday = Classroom

2) Thursdays- Fridays= Online lectures

3) The presence of equipped and numbered guidance counselors whose job is to study a child and try understand where their passion lies, so that their education will be tailored to what they find joy doing. A hairdresser has no primary business learning geography, neither does a DJ have any primary business learning 'almighty formula'

This tailored form of leaning reduces the number of subjects that students are exposed to and secondly, it reduces the 7:45am - 5pm jobs that students work in schools. Now schools can comfortably close by 12-1 pm, even on Mondays because of the reduced work load of the students.
And mind you, when this efficiency has been created in learning, the free time of children should not be filled with more schoolwork/assignments because of a pathetic saying that "an idle mind is the devil's workshop"

6) A course in AI/ prompt engineering to enable students appreciate the fact that suffering isn't hardwork when they're able to swiftly generate an AI picture with precise prompt engineering, compared to a conventional graphics designer that spends decades on it.

7) Ban the physical submission of notes or handouts, especially for marks.

Also ban lecturers from physically selling handouts to students. A lecturer with an Innovative solution, be it in paperback, should copyright or patent it and lease it to students through the school education authority who thoroughly screens and approves it for sale at a very subsidized fee to students in ebook format. The sheer volume of students demands in campuses around Nigeria should compensate for the price reduction. There should be a digital right management thoroughly applied to the ebook to disable copying and mass production.
These amongst other solutions

To wrap this post up, Nigeria has become a nation where suffering is being seen as hardwork. We've become so used to seeing as "suffering= good person/hardworking" and "not suffering= bad person/lazy"
But suffering is not hardwork. The morality of continued hardwork is the morality of slaves. I've written about this here on nairaland.
Do find time to look it up, at your convenience of course.

I'm open to hearing your suggestions on how schools can be efficient, especially in Nigeria so that the coming generations don't go through the suffering we passed through while in school

There's is digital birth certificate. Google is your friend

Lol! 🤣 Mine was that he increased the house rent by 350% and I asked why he said I can afford it and it obvious I am expanding 😭

GIDIBANKZ:
Bcose I bought AC, my landlord told me to remove it or I pack out of the apartment

Obakoolex:
Then I was leaving at ijebu ode and we men had to go out for vigilatee on weekly rotations. Even if you're a banker, this landlords will force you out when it's your turn.

Omo those Ijebu Ode house owners get "ogba".

Fact! Next have it written signed that it would be deducted from your next rent otherwise na voicemail.

chaliceGodson:
Getting the landlord to repair or overhaul a dilapidating part of the apartment is sometimes a stressful task, you might end up paying for the repairs and not get your a refund from the chairman.

I have experienced this and it was prepaid, omo e no easy at all.

Before you judge a woman by her mother, remember this:

Children do not come into the world as photocopies of their parents.

Yes, upbringing matters. Family patterns matter too. But people also grow, heal, unlearn, and become their own person.

Some women watched their mothers suffer and decided:
“I will never build a home like this.”

Some men grew up with absent or toxic fathers and still became loving husbands and responsible fathers.

A person is not automatically their parents’ unfinished story.

Instead of studying only her mother, study HER:
How does she communicate?
Can she take accountability?
How does she treat people when angry?
Is she willing to grow?
Does she have emotional intelligence?
Can both of you solve problems together?

Because marriage is not inherited like family land.
It is built daily by two self-aware adults.

Your partner’s background may explain certain behaviors, but it should not be used to predict their entire future.

People are capable of becoming better than what they came from.

marcusverum:
Before you propose to that woman, go and study her mother carefully.

Not her looks. Not her career. Not how she treats you right now when she is trying to win you. Study her mother.

How does her mother speak to her father? How does she handle conflict?
How does she age?
What is her disposition toward men?
What is her relationship with money?
What is her energy in the home?

That woman you want to marry is watching her mother every day of her life.
She is absorbing those patterns whether
she knows it or not.
What you see in the mother is a preview of what is coming in the marriage.

A woman with a bitter mother will become bitter.
A woman with a disrespectful mother will become disrespectful.
A woman with a strong, dignified mother has a template for strength and dignity.

You are not just marrying her. You are inheriting her upbringing.

Do your homework before you propose.

Curious to know too 👀

Because leaving spare cash in a brokerage account in Nigeria sometimes feels like keeping bread beside hungry ants 😭

Some people:

- Leave it there untouched waiting for the next buy
- Move it to money market funds for small interest
- Use it to buy stable dividend stocks gradually
- Keep averaging down on existing investments
- Convert part to dollars to avoid Naira drama 🇳🇬
- Or accidentally “borrow” it for shawarma and data… then promise to return it before market opens 😂

Meanwhile inflation is in one corner doing press up.

What about you? Do you keep idle cash ready for opportunities or make the money work while waiting?

HesInMe:
Curious to know: What do you do with the spare cash sitting in your brokerage account while waiting for the next investment opportunity to open?

The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) is supposed to be the heartbeat of football in Nigeria. A country blessed with football talent, passionate fans, and millions of people who breathe football daily should naturally have one of the strongest local leagues in Africa. Sadly, that is not the reality today.

Many Nigerians would rather stay indoors to watch the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, or even Saudi League matches than spend time watching local football. The passion for football is still alive, but the love for the local league keeps fading year after year.

One major reason people avoid watching the NPFL is poor infrastructure. Many stadiums are old, poorly maintained, uncomfortable, and sometimes unsafe for fans. Some lack basic facilities like clean toilets, proper seating arrangements, quality pitch surfaces, and stable lighting. Football is entertainment, and people naturally prefer environments that feel enjoyable and modern.

Another major issue is poor television coverage and media production. In today’s world, football is no longer just about the game itself — presentation matters. The English Premier League is attractive because of high-quality cameras, good commentary, proper analysis, and strong media promotion. Meanwhile, NPFL matches often suffer from poor camera angles, unstable broadcasting, low-quality production, and inconsistent live coverage. Reports have shown that broadcasting challenges in Nigeria are tied to limited production equipment and infrastructure.

Corruption and poor administration have also damaged the reputation of the league. Over the years, there have been allegations of unpaid salaries, poor officiating, match manipulation, and lack of accountability among football administrators. When fans believe league results are influenced unfairly, trust disappears. Football fans want transparency, professionalism, and fairness.

Security concerns also discourage fans from attending matches. Cases of violence, hooliganism, attacks on referees, and pitch invasions have created fear among supporters. Nobody wants to go watch football and return home injured or unsafe.

Another painful reality is the massive talent drain. The best Nigerian players rarely stay long in the league. Once a talented player shines for a short period, they quickly move abroad to Europe, Asia, or North Africa in search of better opportunities and financial stability. This constantly weakens the quality of football in the league and makes it difficult for fans to build emotional attachment to players and clubs.

There is also the issue of poor marketing and fan engagement. Most NPFL clubs do not effectively use social media, storytelling, branding, or community engagement to build loyal fanbases. European clubs understand how to make fans feel emotionally connected, even from another continent. Nigerian clubs still struggle with creating that same emotional experience.

Ironically, Nigerians are deeply passionate about football. Stadiums become full whenever the Super Eagles play important matches. This proves the problem is not football itself — the problem is the structure, organization, and experience surrounding the local league.

Despite all these challenges, the NPFL still has massive potential. Nigeria has one of the largest football fan bases in Africa, incredible young talents, and passionate supporters. With better management, improved stadiums, proper broadcasting, stronger sponsorship deals, better player welfare, and serious investment, the league can grow into one of Africa’s best.

The truth is simple: Nigerians do not hate local football. They are simply demanding a better football experience.

Pootle:
how about you talk about promotion from nigeria national league to the premier league. enough of this foreign football we cant grow like this

Good morning fellow market lovers, may the greens favour us all.

Guys, I am here again with a request.

I need a real and responsive stockbroker which I can use to trade and invest in the stock market.

I noticed some problems with some I tried:

I place limit orders and it never executes,

I tried to do a withdrawal with one but I was told to update my NIN or some other verification, which I did but haven't got a response in days,

Generally poor customer service everywhere, never getting response on time,

I also hate manual doings, like, why can't I click a button and do some withdrawals in an emergency instead of contacting someone for it and then it may take days to process?

All these, guys, I need to avoid. I have platforms that do well for other things I venture into but why not the stock market?

Please help me.

We can't blame them though, when the system is not working, I use to ask, why do people marry when they know the man they are about to go into union with is not financially capable to take care of their kids. It's only a poor man that would encourage his child to go into prostitution

I get the frustration behind that statement, but that conclusion is too harsh and oversimplifies a very complex reality.

First, not every struggling parent is irresponsible. Financial situations can change suddenly—job loss, economic instability, inflation, or unexpected crises can push even responsible families into hardship. In a country like Nigeria, where the system itself is unpredictable, many people are doing their best with limited opportunities.

Second, marriage is not (and should not be) based solely on current financial status. Many couples marry with hope, partnership, and plans to grow together. Some succeed, some struggle—but that doesn’t automatically make them wrong for getting married.

Third, equating poverty with promoting prostitution is unfair and inaccurate. Most poor parents actually work extremely hard to protect their children from harmful paths. In fact, many people who rise above difficult circumstances come from homes where values, discipline, and resilience were strongly instilled—not wealth.

Also, the real issue is often systemic failure, not just individual decisions. Lack of jobs, poor education systems, weak social support, and economic inequality all contribute to situations where people feel pushed into survival choices.

“While financial readiness is important before starting a family, it’s not fair to assume that struggling parents are irresponsible or that poverty leads to bad parenting. Many families are simply navigating a difficult system, and what we need is better opportunities and support—not blame.”
