She was ugly, yes she showed me maximum love but the physical appearance was not giving. I ignored it and moved into a relationship with her and she thought she was won the jackpot.
Had to break it up before she loses herself into the relationship with the hope of everlasting union.
Lesson: I won't start any sort of relationship with someone that's not beautiful in my eyes.

France is going to score three goals tonight

Phraences:
This coach should make some changes na. If removing Ronaldo will make them win then remove him for fncks sake.

the coach only kept him so it they get to penalties that Ronaldo can score. My opinion

Spain may break this Portugal defense very soon

Gentlesoul2021:
Good day N'Lander

I need genuine opinions on a relationship dilemma.

My younger sister is 31 years old. She's highly educated with a master's degree, works with an NGO as a Programme Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor, and is also a skilled fashion designer with equipment worth over ₦2 million. She's hardworking, focused, and has consistently supported our family. Her job has taken her across different states, exposing her to diverse experiences and opportunities. Above all, she's deeply committed to her Christian faith.

She recently met a fellow church brother who has expressed serious interest in marrying her. However, he left school after Primary Six and works as a traditional window louvre fabricator. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with learning a trade, he has had opportunities to upgrade his skills to modern aluminium fabrication but hasn't pursued them. Instead, he seems more interested in becoming a pastor or working in a church, though he currently has no clear or realistic path to achieving that.

Another concern is the family dynamic. My mother and the young man's mother serve in the same church unit. On several occasions, whenever he goes out for a job, his mother would call him back or redirect him for other errands, and she would even mention these things to my mother. This has given us the impression that she relies heavily on him, raising concerns about the level of responsibility he already carries within his family and how that might affect his future marriage.

My mother strongly opposes the relationship, believing the gap in education, career progression, ambition, life direction, and even family expectations is too significant. I understand her concerns and tend to agree, but it also raises an important question.

Can love alone sustain a marriage when there's such a wide difference in education, ambition, exposure, career growth, and family responsibilities? Or should long-term compatibility, shared vision, emotional maturity, and the ability to build a stable future together carry more weight than love?

I'd genuinely appreciate respectful and honest opinions from both married and unmarried people. Please keep the discussion civil and objective—this isn't about looking down on anyone because of their educational background or occupation, but about understanding what truly makes a marriage work in the long run.

your is already 31, she is fast approaching menopause. That she is well educated doesn't mean she is an excellent person. If she has wonderful qualities, she should have been married by now.
Also, the man coming to marry her is actually what she can attract.

Last, the way you are outing her qualifications means your family might not respect any man that's not up to their fantasy standard. Even if you guys still reject this man, I believe whomever will eventually marry your sister will suffer in your hands.

So she didn't steal all the money they accused her of or what exactly?

Always finding a way to prep men to waste their resources on vile women who hide under religion to engage in all sorts of evil acts.

Well, I think Peter obi should look into the people that will handle his campaign because what I'm understanding from this voice is not so lovely.

If NDC spokesperson has pledged his loyalty to Dickson; who is not in th ballot, how is obi so sure such a person will propagate his vision and image during campaign.

Can't this people go a day without wanking with Peter Obi's name?
Is he the only opposition in Nigeria political space

What has gotten into some Nigerians

helinues:
My question is basic to be secondary. Is it that you are telling people to register just to add to the members of ADC online even though they won't be voting?

you are right on this one...
ADC should enlighten people to get voters card and vote and not just a drive to swell up party registration portal.

My people, sit down. What I am about to share with you is not Nollywood. This is real life — and the mainstream media is barely touching half of it.
Since December 28, 2025, something seismic has been happening in Iran. It started with shopkeepers in Tehran's Grand Bazaar going on strike — ordinary men and women who could no longer afford to feed their families. Within days, the unrest exploded into the largest uprising Iran has seen since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, spreading across more than 200 cities. (Wikipedia)
But here is the part that will shake you.
The Iranian government responded not with dialogue — but with massacres. Amnesty International verified that security forces opened fire on crowds using rifles and shotguns loaded with metal pellets, deliberately targeting heads and torsos. January 2026 became the deadliest period of repression by Iranian authorities in decades. (Amnesty International)
And to make sure the world didn't see it? Iranian authorities shut down internet access entirely. (House of Commons Library) A total blackout. No videos. No livestreams. No crying mothers posting on Twitter. Just silence — while people bled in the streets.
How many died? The numbers will haunt you.
Time and Iran International, citing local health officials, reported between 30,000 and 36,500 protesters killed in just 48 hours on January 8 and 9 alone. (Wikipedia) Think about that. Thirty thousand human beings. In two days. That is more than ten times the death toll of 9/11 — happening right now, in our generation, and most people are scrolling past it.
By mid-January, over 24,000 people had been arrested — including children as young as 14. (Wikipedia)
But WHY did this happen?
This is where it gets deeper. Iran's economy had been in freefall — sharp inflation, a currency that collapsed to nearly nothing, widespread shortages of electricity and gas. The people were not just angry. They were desperate. Some protesters chanted: "Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, My Life for Iran" — a direct message to a government that spent billions projecting power across the Middle East while its own citizens starved. (Wikipedia)
And here is something the Western media quietly admitted: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the US Senate Banking Committee that American sanctions policy directly contributed to Iran's currency crisis, saying "we created a dollar shortage in the country... the Iranian currency went into free fall. Inflation exploded." (Wikipedia) So the suffering of ordinary Iranians had multiple architects — both their own government AND foreign policy.
What does an Iranian who LIVED through this system say?
That is exactly the question The Keystone Project Podcast answers. An Iranian ex-Muslim sits down and tells his personal story — what life under the Islamic Republic truly looks like from the inside. Not what CNN says. Not what the regime says. What a REAL person who lived it says.
This is the voice they tried to silence with the internet blackout.

This is not political propaganda. This is a human being sharing truth that could get him killed back home. The least we can do as Nigerians — a people who also know what it means to suffer under a government that does not care — is listen.
Drop your thoughts below. Are you following the Iran situation? What do you think the world should do?

Funny how united hasn't beaten spurs since 2022 but then, there's new sheriff in town and I'm confident we are getting a win today.

Very clean and every feature working perfectly fine.
Location is Enugu state

Please I want to ask if anyone knows any sure legit mining apps that you can recommend.
Thank you

there's nothing like a mining app. All those things you see online are fake.
If you want to mine then build az physical mining rigg, which you know will require millions of naira.

Nawao..
These people don't know that Nigerian military structure is no longer like in the 60s where few disgruntled elements can carry out a coup easily.
Well, they will have to eat enough watery beans in prison while regretting ever thinking towards this path.

Happy birthday to Victor

Man Chester United lineup have made me not so interested in the game again.
And I was wishing we beat Aston villa so we can climb up the table

He should go and sit down. At least, we are seeing him doing something that benefits most Nigerians and not like their savior Buhari that didn't do anything to benefit the masses.
Infact, these northerners are very selfish. They want everything to be them. What about the southeast that has been marginalized for years.

Let Tinubu develop the west, let's see it being beneficial to the people living there. It's better than sponsoring bandits with our national funds.

This thread is just giving nostalgia feeling that makes one understand how time flies.

The super eagles are not playing exciting football

It will be an easy win for us
