The remaining food she cooked will be eaten free of charge or thrown away at last, her freedom will be taken away plus her sanity in naija prison! Bigger loss! She could have just let the hungry man go with strong warning

You know this was not like premeditated murder...
"pay me my moni"
"which moni, wetin you wan do?"

Then a little back and forth, with the guy forming hard guy and threatening violence... and like that fight don start... I don't think it would have happened if they guy just humble himself and begged for credit or something.

Those saying "it's just N200"... is that how she will be extending credit till she herself can't survive? If you know you don't have N200 for food, hold yourself, garri and pure water dey.

I'm not justifying her actions, but in a fair trial, she can plead self defense.

All these reactors, when did they last deposit 500k cash? I've never deposited that much cash, so I'm ok.

But CBN is not being reasonable: a business transaction can result in 10% tax (I'm calling it tax) for depositing money, transferring to somebody, then that person withdraws the cash. That same cash will be re-deposited and widthdrawn, and somebody pays this cost each time. Do that 10-20 times and banks/govt has collected 100% the value of that cash in tax.

Please where can sign up to be a bank so I can double my money just by having hardworking people move money?

The biggest beneficiaries of these arrests is the Police chiefs. No one hears about the laptops and exotic cars after each arrest. No one! They seem to disappear into thin air. This is probably the best time to be in anti Yahoo squad of the NPF.

Whoa!! You're so right... na so evidence take waka enter voice mail!

And who is to blame for producing quacks? The country used to produce the best - professors who would go on to achieve much locally and internationally. The long decline started around 1984, if I remember correctly... I didn't mention any names oh!

We yorubas don't care about how Osibanjo is being treat.
What we are sure and care for is presidency is come back to south west.
And Tinubu is the man for the job.

Based on what I've seen and heard, I really wish more people would back Osinbajo for President in 2023. I don't care about rotation, just competence. If only Osinbajo would be released from the shackles of PMB, I feel he would perform very well.

Why are people backing Tinubu? I really don't understand what he could bring to the table that Osinbajo can't in terms of good governance, a level head, and empathy for the people.

Nobody pity the SARS guy. We need more like this. If only citizens could also bear arms like police, SARS won't be terrorizing us anyhow.

Fellow Africans, do you see how there was a rational, scientific explanation for this, and a team of educated surgeons to remove it?

Most natural phenomena (even the rare ones we've never seen) are easily understandable and do not need to involve the spiritual, occult, or mythical.

Our leaders, if you provide the correct environment, you won't have to go abroad for treatment. This was taken care of locally, in India. They don't have two heads, nor do they have horns growing out of their heads (pardon the pun ) so we can do it too.

Honestly, you can't know.

I do know four things:

1. Actions speak louder than words
2. You can't force anybody to feel anything
3. Feelings can change in a heartbeat
4. Which is why women constantly need assurance.

In summary, love is not something you put in a box, self-assured that it will never change. Best you can do is put your best efforts into the relationship, but be sure he is also putting his best efforts. It's a continuous process, made stronger with ups and downs.

maasoap:
Really? But what will his noise from the sidelines change? Nothing. The most corrupt administration in the history of Nigeria was Jonathan administration, yet Adesina did his part and loved by many.
If you are advocating that supposedly upright people shouldn't serve their country, how exactly will Nigeria be better? By shouting and wailing from the spectators' stand?

It's a very difficult question you're asking, and I wish I knew the answer. One main difference is he was appointed as an advisor, whereas Adesina was a minister - very different levels of power and ability to effect change. I imagine it would be difficult to continue to make noise as an insider, and harder still to convince people that one's voice has not been compromised. If Seun had been given true oversight/accountant powers, then we'd probably be having another discussion. But the truth is: we don't know why he did what he did.

boxypane:
You criticized a system, now they employed to help them make it better, you resigned. Who is deceiving who?

They employed him to silence his voice.

Nwaohafia1:
Good info, but Why disturb my brain when I have an engineer that I am paying for the job?

You don't have to have exact numbers, but I think it's always good to have a bit more info... as in they may over quote the number of tiles needed, or even the labour. Trust your engineer, but verify.

OP great work here on educating us. I also really like this plan - it's very well laid out.

Judge not lest ye be...

TRIGITIS:
Gsm is an era making waves and it wasn't the invention of OBJ. Whoever was the president as at that time wouldn't have done anything different.

Pls stop arguing like illiterates except if you are one. Literacy is not just about reading and writing, it borders on issues like this.

Don't be silly. Hydro-electricity was making waves in its time, and we credit various presidents in various African countries for bringing in that tech back in the 60s and 70s. By that same token we're crediting the president at the time GSM was brought in. If something revolutionary happened and it was during PMB's time, he too would get credit.

TRIGITIS:
I just taya for that guy o. So without OBJ, Nigeria for never begin dey use gsm now according to him.

frowland:
They keep making this lame comment. Was their OBJ in Bukina Faso or Gabon or all those poor countries in africa? But they have GSM, how come?

TRIGITIS:
I just taya o. Infact, this is the first thing I asked him. How did gsm get into those countries without obj
This is something already making waves, then obj should be praised because he approved its establishment in Nigeria. Pls, which president will not do same? And these things are even privately owned, not govt establishment o.

You know how people say things like: "this president built road", "this president built bridge", "thanks to that president, we are now producing cement locally", or "that president brought in light rail"... Well, using the same phrase, we can all say "OBJ brought in GSM". No president (as far as I know) actually owns or makes any of the technologies that we see in roads, rails, cell networks, or airports... but we have always attributed their introduction to their tenure.

In the context of PMB vs OBJ, there's not a single progressive thing that one can say PMB did... please correct me otherwise.

Everybody is free to their own opinion, but who is the mad man who will celebrate PMB in the Delta region?

1x2x3:
You aren't sensible for calling the husband mad. It's obvious the woman isn't working to support the family and the man is probably overworking and committing all for upkeep and others, sometimes men are left with no spare money of their own then all of a sudden you discover upkeep money is being splitted. I won't fault her if she's saving it for rainy days but there are chances it's for her selfish gains. She could end up borrowing the husband the money when the family is in need. I've seen women borrow their husband money from what they milked from him and he must pay back as they always claim they got it from a friend. That's selfishness laced with lies and deceit.

Sorry I didn't mean mad as in crazy, but mad as in angry. You have a valid point, but I was talking more from the point of view of what I've seen: a man provides, but sometimes we all fall on hard times, and I've seen when the family is able to eat because the wife was saving extra. If she gave the exact budget, and they spent the exact budget, there would have been no savings. This is what I meant... I didn't even think of those selfish ones.

I don't mean to disrespect any man that provides for his family. I'm a family man myself, and encourage my wife to actively save money out of the family budget.

Marine animals need to send each other a public service announcement: avoid the West African coast, particularly that place called Nigeria... otherwise you're OYO. Those people are skilled pepper soup makers with anything that swims, crawls, flies, or moves in any way ;-)

efighter:
How does this concern Osinbajo? This Osinbajo that you are abusing, if your parents see him, they will prostrate even if your parents are not Yorubas.

Too funny

What I want to know is, how much did the governor make from this deal?

lefulefu:
lol@ d person saying good girls how market. shey a lady dey sleep inside church does not make a lady a good girl cos there are churchy girls who have sexual affairs with their pastors.no be today.being a twerker doesnt mean she is promiscious.any wise man around here go understand wetin i dey yarn.na character be d coco.she might be a twerker but then she might also be a loving submissive wife.

Exactly... just from outwards appearances, I feel she's a good girl. Even with her twerking, you can see it's playful. I love watching her because of the skits... it's not that provocative, just cute, crazy, funny, nice to watch. Her soon-to-be hubby has been part of her twerking experience for as long as I remember, and I always liked that her family (brother, sister) have also been involved.

I just hope twerking will still be on the menu even after marriage, though I feel she's going to do more of that boutique biz, and drop twerking.

Haters and hypocrites, how market? All those people who will knowingly open page to watch nyash, then leave negative comments, you're just fooling yourselves.

It's wise for every woman to do so, in case of incasity. The husband is mad that she's being prudent and saving... doesn't he know that there will be lean times and fat times?

I think it's wise for every woman to do so.
After all, husband uses his money for beer and other entertainment.

Beautiful movies... it's such a great experience to watch these movies in the cinema.

Does anybody remember when cinema industry started to die in Nigeria? Around 1984... I didn't call any names.

Local rice is far more expensive than foriegn rice , I just paid 20k for 12 packs of abakiliki red rice now now and is pack is very small .so local rice sef is above the pay grade of the poor ..I am great supporter of the theory of comparative advantage and laizez faire in production and I am against shallow protectionism of local industries , allow businesses to compete freely with imported goods and let the best man win , this is believe is the only way you will allow local industries grow in quality and capacity

Please can you also advise the American government to stop subsidizing its farmers for crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and rice? Oh, and also for electric vehicles and solar panels. When all Western countries stop all their subsides (sometimes called tax-breaks, incentives, rebates), then we can have a discussion about laissez faire.

Local rice is more expensive because the cost of production is much higher... tractors are imported, as are fertilizer, the majority of tools; even the petrol for tractor and transportation is imported. What about the milling machines, the bags, and (optionally) the vitamin A and iron fortification? And then you need generator to run your mill. With so many different imported inputs (each with its own import duty or shipping cost), you cannot expect local rice to be the same price as imported rice (where the import duty or shipping cost is paid once, if not entirely avoided by smuggling).

What serious countries have always done is to protect their nascent industries with taxes, tariffs (see the recent China USA tit for tat), or outright bans. They support their local industries with policies, cheap loans, subsidies, and propaganda. When those industries are mature, they open the sector to the world. USA, UK, Japan, China, South Korea: all did it in their time, and anybody suggesting African countries should not do the same thing is being disingenuous.

If I could just own this one factory/mill I will feel accomplished. Wow!

Is the picture here in Naija? I was admiring the background actually... I would love to have an outdoor gazebo space like that to relax in

Says a man who's job is to make people laugh.

I'm not knocking comedy, and I respect and appreciate comedians, but even he admits that 20 years ago, comedy was a no-go area as a career-path.

Back then, if anybody wanted to be comedian, the response would be: "what kind of job is that? Spending your time telling jokes and having people laugh at you... what is society promoting?"

Tacha is strong willed, independent, and most importantly entertaining. Just like Basketmouth.

RIP... Obi of Ogwashi Ukwu

Why? Politicians are stealing and teaching their children that graft is the way forward. We should be training our children to become politicians... forget book or working hard.

Sigh... I try my best to be understanding, but this one weak me. It makes for decent background music, but can't really dig it. I'm not opposed to ladies dancing, but even the ass shaking in this video is uninspiring.
Naira Marley should see Olamide's "Konkobility", or Wizkid's "Soco" or "Nowo" for how to enhance a video with ladies.

Congrats to frog voice . (and I say that fondly, like an older brother). They've been together long... pray they stay together.

Create jobs. Crimes and insecurity are a direct product of joblessness.
All Akeredolu is doing is providing jobs to foreign manufacturers, importers, and egunge takers.

This money can be used to build a factory that will employ several thousands in Lagos alone. Even if it's just bagging garri into more hygienic bags; it doesn't have to be high tech.

Trust some of my blodas... "Slightly used cars with just a little rain" loading in Nigerian ports in a few months.

Chai... I would hate to be the shipper sha... insurance go cost.
