With this kind of mentality, don't blame guys for reverting to just having baby mamas then adopt co-parenting system, since marriage to a woman has now turned to orphanage. Having a lazy jobless woman as a wife can be so stressful and exhausting. There won't be allowance for the man to grow.

On Christmas Day 2025, a Muslim cleric in Nigeria dropped a bold statement: 'Any Muslim who cooks, goes out, or does anything for the sake of Christmas celebration is going to h£llf!re!'
Watch the full clip and see how Nigerians (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) reacted — from hilarious memes to people openly saying they're still eating Christmas rice!
In Nigeria, where interfaith holidays are often celebrated together, this controversial take sparked massive debate, laughs, and zero drama. Even Saudi Arabia and UAE get festive period that is exclusively celebrated by Christians.

Amazing, i support our honourable representatives. I hope the same law would be extended to the:
1. Salary and allowances of NASS members to be back to what they were in 2015 and then increased by 10%
2. Naira to dollar exchange rate should be back what it was in 2015 and then reviewed upward by 20%
3. Cost of petrol motor spirit/ gas price should back to what it was in 2015 and reviewed upward by 20%
4. Prices of food items,drugs and all other goods and services should go back to what they were in 2015,then prices reviewed upward by not more than 20%
5. The prices of cement and other building materials should go back to what they were in 2015 and then reviewed upward by not more than 20%
6. All medical fees,school fees and transportation should go back to what they were in 2015 without any increament.
7 Taxes like VAT,PIT,CIT, levies,property Taxes shall be reviewed to what they were in 2015.
Lastly, each local government shall embark of massive housing units in each polling unit ward accross the federation to be distributed to the most vulnerable in the society. At this point govt may now claim to be protecting the poor masses.
EducationRe: From Cleaner To Top Graduate: Nigerian Lady Stuns Many With 4.94 CGPA by myrates: 11:07am On Oct 24, 2025

From Cleaner to Top Graduate: Nigerian Lady Stuns Many with 4.94 CGPA and Inspiring Success Story

In a heartwarming story that has inspired thousands across Nigeria, a young lady who once worked as a cleaner has achieved an extraordinary academic milestone, graduating among the top three students in her department with a remarkable 4.94 CGPA.

Her journey from humble beginnings to academic excellence serves as a powerful reminder that dedication, hard work, and faith can overcome any social or financial barrier. The young woman, who has chosen to remain humble even in her success, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share her remarkable transformation — one that has since gone viral and earned her widespread admiration. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
From Mockery to Motivation

According to her post, the young woman recounted how she was once mocked by a co-worker for proudly posting pictures of herself in her cleaner’s uniform. At the time, she worked as a cleaner to support herself through school, juggling long hours of labor with late-night study sessions.

Despite the ridicule, she remained determined to prove that no job is too small for someone with a dream. Rather than feel ashamed, she wore her uniform with pride, seeing her job as a stepping stone toward a better life.

In her now-viral tweet, she wrote:



https://x.com/DatGirlAdun/status/1981267161483034877?t=z4RXODS5di4NwNg1Hdz-Fw&s=19

Her words radiated gratitude and humility, capturing the attention of Nigerians who celebrated her perseverance and strong sense of self-worth.
Academic Excellence Against the Odds

Achieving a 4.94 CGPA is no small feat, especially in a country where many students struggle with financial difficulties and limited access to educational resources. What makes her story even more remarkable is that she was able to balance work and study while maintaining excellence throughout her academic journey.

Friends and coursemates described her as disciplined, humble, and hardworking, noting that she often studied late into the night after completing her cleaning shifts. Her resilience paid off when she emerged as the third-best graduating student in her department, missing the second spot by a mere 0.001 points.

Her success stands as a powerful example of the transformative power of education, reminding many that intelligence and ambition are not defined by one’s job, background, or circumstances.
Social Media Reactions and National Inspiration

Shortly after sharing her success story, social media platforms were flooded with messages of congratulations and admiration. Many users on X, Instagram, and Facebook called her “a true definition of grace, grit, and growth.”

One user commented, “From cleaner to top of the class — this is the kind of story that restores faith in hard work.” Another wrote, “She turned mockery into motivation. We need more of this spirit in today’s youth.”

Several online communities have since used her story as a motivational example, encouraging students facing challenges to stay consistent and focused.
A Message of Hope and Resilience

Beyond academic achievement, her journey symbolizes hope for countless young Nigerians facing similar struggles. In a country where unemployment and financial hardship often force young people into menial jobs, her story redefines the narrative — showing that dignity lies not in the kind of job one holds, but in the determination to rise above challenges.

She has also become a voice for educational perseverance, urging others never to give up on their dreams regardless of the obstacles ahead. Her transformation from being mocked for wearing a cleaner’s uniform to being celebrated as a top scholar has become a beacon of inspiration across Nigeria and beyond.
Conclusion

The story of this young lady’s triumph is not just about academic brilliance — it’s about faith, humility, and endurance. Her 4.94 CGPA is more than a number; it represents years of sacrifice, resilience, and unshakable belief in a brighter future.

As she continues her journey, many Nigerians hope that her inspiring story will serve as a blueprint for others who dream of rising beyond their present circumstances. Indeed, she has proven that no background is too humble, and no dream is too big.

Without prejudice, i strongly believe he should be prosecuted to serve as deterrent to other supposedly influential persons. If he's found guilty, the judge may hand him a jail term with option of heavy fine or possibly get presidential perdon. No sane person of high status in the society would want to go through such humiliation again.

FamilyRe: My Marriage Is Shaking: I Settle All Bills Abroad by myrates: 4:46pm On Jun 27, 2025
Liazz:
Am I being unreasonable being mad at my wife?
We relocated abroad 3 years ago but she isn't helping to settle any of the bills.

We both are gainfully employed though I earn much than she does. Our monthly expenditure is about £2000 and she doesn't care to help in any way. I foot all bills making me struggle to save while she keeps all she earns to herself. We also had a loan of over 10 thousand pounds to settle when we relocated, she didn't help with a dime till I paid all bits by bits which took me almost 2 years.

Despite this, I still help with house chores like taking care of our kids, home cleaning and even washing dishes though she does all the cooking.
I've expressed my displeasure several times but she keeps insisting I can't force her to financially assist, it's my job as I'm the husband. She seems convinced she isn't doing any wrong and no sign of remorse whatsoever.

I financed our relocation 100% without her contributing a dime.

This is causing a strain in the marriage and I am thinking if I am unreasonable in my demand, am I?
Your comments are highly welcome.
She's not a good and supportive partner. She's very selfish and must have started planning her exit after investing her own savings and milking you dry.
