In my estate at Lamgbasa Lekki, we have more than 20 hours a day. It even amazes me with what I hear from people from other areas. I even consider switching off my fridge at times.

Mr. Totally Wrong, what's the answer pls?

Go to school if you have not been to school. If you had been to school, then go back there and learn because you have learnt nothing since you cannot solve basic math's.

Mypeople2:
3) The father is 60 years old while the son is 12years

you are totally wrong! Who was your mathematics teacher? He/she did not try at all.

Election has come and the desperate politicians have started eating by the road doing funny things to attract attention.

I had exactly similar experience with a course mate of mine. She completely friend-zoned me when we were in the university and was calling me her brother despite the fact that we come from different local governments and I don't know their house nor do I know any of her family members. Long after we had graduated, she started coming close to me and even tried imposing herself on me for marriage. I treated her the same way she did me. Completely friend-zoned her because I was already in a serious relationship. When she found out I felt nothing for her, she shamefully left. Most girls always want to eat their cake and have it.

Hope those omo oniles have not started eyeing that place. Their great grand father's property.

Land for sale! Meet Baba Kamoru, the head of the omo niles.

You can say that again, island is a crazy zone..............

I stay on the Island and I bet you that you would fine some one bedroom flats of 1M. The moderate ones go for between 350K and 600K.

I believe the owner of this article believes in science and science recognizes and teaches about prime movers. Liken that to God. He is the prime mover in the aspect of existence. The Prime mover does not need anything to move it. It moves every other thing. So God does not need anything to create him. He is simply the Creator of all things. The supreme being.

The guy told the girl initially that he is Dangote's first son and kept on making her to believe him until she got pregnant and has no alternative. She finally discovered that the guy is not even from Nigeria and even not related to Dangote in any way. She got so angry that .....(complete it from the photos posted by op). Her dreams now turned to nightmare. You see!

OP if you go park view Ikoyi during heavy rain you will drown. Island is only enjoyable in the dry season

My side of the island is enjoyable year in year out.

Rashelany:
op u wan lie say flood no reach ur side abi




Tarh make i hear say u no pack water for ur house

I live in a tower.

@Op, the topic should have been "Why We Can't Stop Non Nigerian Herdsmen from Killing Nigerians".

Yet more pictures of the flooded streets!

See more photos:

See in the photos below what happened in Lekki Phase 1 after today's rain. Many of the streets in the popular Lekki Phase 1 Lagos got heavily flooded. This area is mostly occupied by the rich ones and are very exorbitant. Can you live in this area if you can afford it? See Photos:

MadamExcellency:
Does this mean that ....... June 2015 to ..... PDP/Jonathan? Bailout money .... (that's btw)

Nigeria now sells her crude on credit to India, others to be paid installmentally in three months.

I thought improvements in international relations is on high since Buhari became tourist. Lesson: they don't love us, all the do is to babble with their mouth during press conferences and later give reasons on phone how they are constrained and wouldn't help.

My suggestion: It is more convenient for Nigeria to give one year amnesty to looters who carted Nigerian money abroad if they can pull these monies back to Nigeria and invest them here before the expiration of one year window. We will be better developing our country than begging foreigners to come and do so when our monies are invariably developing their respective countries.

Your suggestion is excellent. But will the government listen? I believe that if they are made to bring the money and invest it back into the country, they will all work towards making the country work and secured since their investments are here.

how?

hmm...


yet another Nollywood production

@khristals, yes, it sounds like a Nollywood production but what I have written here actually happened to my friend who is struggling to survive. I really took pity on him but blame him for trusting blindly and acting wrongly. He is currently trying to pick up pieces of himself to move on.

Members of the Nigerian National Summit Group and other civil society organisations during a protest on the implementation of the 2014 National Conference report in Lagos... on Thursday

PARIS, JUNE 3, 2016: (DGW)  AS civil society groups stormed foreign missions in Lagos, Nigeria on Thursday to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to implement  the resolutions that were passed during the 2014  National Conference, many other eminent Nigerians have also backed agitations to urgently restructure the country.
The protesters which were led by Nigerian National Summit Group were granted audience by the foreign missions in spite of the overzealousness of Nigeria's security operatives to barred them from being heard.
Among the missions visited were the Embassy of the United States of America, Embassy of Germany and Embassy of Italy. The above-named embassies strictly ordered the security operatives to stay away while expressing their willingness to listen to their grievances and agitations.
The security operatives, our source revealed became helpless and were  left with no option but to look on.

ThreeGEEKS:
What about her grown up younger sister? Did Mr Y kick her out of his house?
Yes I believe such a wife as Mrs X is not worth fighting for . If she stepped up by marring rich then Mr Y should step up too by working harder

Mr. Y contemplated sending her sister out out but for her 11 years old daughter. He thought that his daughter will need someone to take care of her when he goes to work. So he allowed the sister stay but said he would send her out later. Probably when he remarries.

I think this should serve as a lesson to some men. They should not do certain things for the sake of money. The man agreed to all her wife's lies to the prospective boss that they were brothers just to help her get a job. That is desperation and this is where it has landed him.

Sometimes I wonder if people do have conscience at all and if they really have any fear of God in them.
This is a true life story. Something that happened to my close friend. For the sake of anonymity, I will be referring to my friend as Mr. Y, his ex wife as X and the other man as Mr. A.

Some time in the year 2000, my friend Mr.Y visited his home town somewhere in the east during festive period. There he started an affair with this girl in her early 20s. After the festival, he came back to Lagos only to get a message from the girl X some months later that she is pregnant for him. My friend did not argue. He accepted the responsibility as X claimed despite that fact the he had no work. My friend Y went to her parents and performed the traditional marriage rites and brought her to Lagos. They lived in just a one room face-me-I-face-you apartment with virtually nothing in the room. He wedded her in the church. She later gave birth to a baby girl. This time, my friend was now doing some menial jobs with which he was sustaining the family. The wife later got a teaching appointment in a private school using her o'level certificate (her highest qualification).

After about 5 to 6 years, my friend Y rented a 3-bedroom apartment where they now moved in. Immediately they rented the apartment, his wife started bringing almost all her family members to come and be staying with them. The mother, the sister and the brother. The wife's mother and father are not together. They are divorced. My friend never complained as he saw all of them as the same family and he loved the wife so much. After 11 years of their marriage, in 2012, the wife X told my friend Y that she wanted to go and look for a better paying job to be able to contribute more to the financial welfare of the family since their only child will soon enter secondary school. Y friend agreed. X started searching for another job. She came back one day and told Y the she found a place they needed a sales girl and it is a big place. She was not able to see the owner as he was not around then. His boys she met told her to come back another day when the boss would have come back and also informed her that their boss does not employ married women. X later went and met the owner of the place.
When X came back, she told Y that she met the owner of the place and she told him that she was single in order to get the job. The owner A had agreed to employ her as a sales girl. And that she also told him that she was staying with her brother. Mr. Y supported her and they agreed that they will keep it secret that they are husband and wife from My.A and X started working their as a sales girl.

Some weeks later, Mr. Y started noticing that X comes back late from work. When Y asks, X tells him that her boss gives her some more assignment to do at the shop. Meanwhile, Mr. A's wife was dead and his children all live outside the country. Mr. A is already in his late 60s or early 70s. My friend Y did not object to that since he trusted the wife so much. The wife X later told my friend Y that her boss wanted her come and help him wash some clothes and clean his house. My friend Y also agreed trusting the wife and thinking that nothing would happen since the man A was already an old man. At a stage this became very frequent and the boss A started buying X some gifts, phones and even giving her some money. Y did not see it as anything because he so much loved and trusted his wife X. He even went to the extent of going to Mr.A's office to thank him posing as X's brother.

One day, X came back and told Y that her mother sent for her from the village that she was not feeling fine. She then told my friend Y that she would be traveling to the village to see the mother on a particular day and that she had already informed her boss. She started preparing and as part of her preparation, she bought many expensive wines from Lagos her she was taking to the village. My friend Y tried to question her but she said that she wanted to give some to some elders in the village and some to her uncle. She later traveled leaving her daughter with her husband.

After about one week, she came back to Lagos and on coming back, she called my friend Y and told him that she was not sure she would continue in the marriage. My friend asked her why and she said that she was tired of everything. My friend Y could not believe his ears. He tried to find out what was happening but his wife insisted and packed her things and moved out leaving my friend Y with and her daughter with her grown up younger sister that was living with them. My friend Y asked many questions from her and her sister but none was answered. She left. My friend Y later got informed that she moved in with her boss. Y then called his mother in-law in the village to report to her but was shocked to know that the mother in-law was aware and was fully in support of her daughter X. The mother in-law also informed my friend Y that the boss had performed traditional marriage rites on X. Y informed his brothers. On further probing, Y discovered that X had started preparing for a white wedding with A. They eventually got fully married. Y wanted to go and stop their wedding and possibly show their wedding pictures in his phone to her wife's new husband since the wife had already taken away all their wedding pictures in their house. His brothers stopped him and advised him to let her go that she is not a good woman to fight for. He also wanted to go to court and to church to report but the brothers said no that he should hand everything over to God.
Today the X is living large with the new husband. The man bought her a rav4. Y left all to God and decided to move on.

I blame my friend Y in all because he made some mistakes along the line and still believe that X will definitely reap what she had sown. Some women have no conscience and can do anything for money. This is a man that brought her from village to Lagos that she had never visited for the first time, showed her love and cared for her and their daughter.

Simple diplomacy would hav averted all dese!

When jonathan won elections,he not only brought evrybody together as a father,...he went ahead and started favouring the north in almost evth. Wich eventually earned him a v unenviable spot among his kinsmen,for favoring the north to their detriment! Personally I think he over did it!

Buhari won elections and on his first visit 2 usa,he told the world how he has segregated the nation to 5% and 97%. And not only mouthing this,all his actions started reflecting it immediately,..from appointing only core northeners in2 positions tht matter,to terminating contracts and programmes put in place 4 the nigerdeltans (whose region lay the golden eggs of our collective survival) by previous governments etc,...

Imagine if buhari had not terminated all dese,including projects like the maritime institute,..and instead started some mega projects in the region,..I can imagine the kind of peace and support he would hav by now be gettin from dere. As am sure southerners are not like core northerners that once they hate u,no matter how much things u do 4 dem,dey cannever be appeased,as in jonas case. Buhari and indeed nigerians wud av been enjoying massive tranquility by now,..my thots tho*

You are absolutely right! I support your comment here 100%. I wish the president will heed the voice of wisdom(advice). I wish he can make a U-turn now. Things will just turn around in his favour and that of all Nigerians. But for the bitterness in some people's minds, things are going from worse to worst.

I thought they said Nwike was sponsoring a protest against this visit. How comes he showed some love when he finally visited? People should stop framing other regions/people up with the intent of fueling violence/trouble. It does not pay.

Meanwhile Northerners that enjoy Nigeria are busy bailing their brothers in Lagos and insisting they did no wrong.


That is wat we call representation.


Who are these old men representing? It is a sad day wen son turns gun on father but it will happen for these old men to understand the tone and mindset of the younger generation.

I solemnly tell you, this is what is called representation. They always protect their people. They make sure theirs do not get hurt. Their leaders always condemn any form of oppression and maltreatment on their people without fear. The Southerners case is totally the reverse.

when will IGP orders disarmament of these Libyan killers?

This country is a real mess. The president has never talked about disarmament of the Fulani herdsmen that openly carry AK-47 and kill at will. Instead he told us that they are Libyans. The president just made his democracy day broadcast but never mentioned anything about the Fulani herdsmen. Are the activities of the Fulani herdsmen not a problem in this country? This government cannot stop disappointing the citizens.
