Many atimes people often mistaken the Diamond they are holding in their hands for a stone, but come to realised that when they threw it away.
A popular Sudan's 🇸🇩 President Omar Albashir was over thrown in 2019 just because of soaring bread prices. The two General who toppled his government are now at each other's throat of who control the centre.
Sudan's Army chief General Abdul Fatah Burhan and the Commander of Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, nick named Hemet.
Forces loyal to two rival generals are vying for control, and as is so often the case civilians have suffered the most, with hundreds killed and thousands injured.
The civilians who protest against a government because prices of bread, now cannot even see the bread 🥪 to eat.
The sums of all fears is that the world balkanization forces US 🇺🇸 and Russia 🇷🇺 are now seeing an opportunity to fight a proxy war, like in the Ukraine's 🇺🇦
This is a big lesson for us Nigerians, those that are beating the war drums. Many atimes we dont even argue for major issues, we always do so for a small and useless issues.
Believe me, the greatest gift in this world after life itself, is PEACE!
We should heed the popular saying that 'Wise men learn from other people's mistakes but fools learn from their own
We have heard u, now run along, exercise Demisa must happen 😂
Demurray: I'm very sure because man city that I know has not flop on their way to winning the league, they are not calling them local champions for nothing . Man city that won the league twice with one point over Liverpool . They have consistency when it comes to winning the league.
True they are local champions, but again let's wait till then.
Demurray: City is already leading by a point that two game in hand for city is wins. A win for Arsenal is what will do. Though I want the gunners to win
How r u sure they will win 2 games at hand, this is football, anything can happen.
blacksam01: it not a condition sh gave...sh has her problem as u have urs...sh needed re assurance like every 4months..and the only way to end it is to work harder..
see ,weda u like it or not..we all.work for an aim..its either the general aim is to b rich but step by step we work to achieve immediate targets like house, land, cars ,wife etc..so wen it is time for wife..u wouy b deceiving urself if u say..its a lie...
At the end all things u acquire is vanity, so I asked again, why don't we take life easy/step by step.
I still believe that, what is yours is yours, so long as u are doing ur b st it's ok.
Not all women are sensible, wether one is on pressure/or not it's always good to handle things in a matured way, u tried but reassuring her, women full everywhere, na the one wey get sense and understanding them dey marry
blacksam01: it shouldn't b about only him...if age is coming ur side..he shld understand u will b under self pressure and either work harder or let u go...
see, i had a gf who is very ready to settle down...i wasnt, only cuz of income..so when sh let me know about her concerns, i knew if i really love her and want to have her for keeps, then i shld work harder...sh wanted re-assurance that sh shld wait...so i gave her, cuz i was so sure of what i wanted
i started working very hard and got to a 5digit figure.dou i lost her to another guy...but its all good...cuz i still didn't make my self financially comfortable in the next 5years...
we are still good friends, dou we dont see again...
kno it that ladies dont have enough time like guyz...
where u working hard for d lady or yourself.
If she really loves u, she shld have waited, u can start small from somewhere.
Every one is replaceable, personally for me, no one/anybody can give me conditions, if u can't wait or we can start small together, bounce.
THEbaddest007: I am currently a student in one of the best federal University in Nigeria. My current cgpa is 4.63 and I got it without any form of malpractice aka expo. I achieved it with hardwork and dedication. I am not boasting in any way but I am trying to build the confidence of average students that they can get an excellent result without engaging in any form of malpractice or looking for short cut to pass. What they need to do is to work very hard and be fully dedicated to their studies. And lastly, school is not a scam because lots of great men have benefited from it. Great men like Peter obi, chukwuma soludo, wole soyinka, yemi osinbajo.
When u are done with school, then you would know what life is.
I have travelled out of this country for official purposes but the thought of remaining outside Nigeria never occurred to me. And don't think I'm talking about African countries o, I mean Europe and Asia.
I'm used to Nigeria o, things outside Nigeria aren't just okay for me. Religion, food, traditions and the "Everyone for himself" things in Europe don't just appeal to me.
Money? I swear I can't abandon my relations in Nigeria just to go search for money. What exactly will the money be used for at the end of the day? Besides, death can come anytime, even while searching for the money.
Good living? What does that even mean? Ogbeni, you have to pay for all those good facilities directly or indirectly, nothing is free. So I take life easy, infact, very easy.
I'm just okay with my little earning here in Nigeria. At least, I pay my bills comfortably. Life is too short.
U are clown, with your 30k monthly pay defending this govt. U are not well.
Season 1- Case is thrown out from Tribunal to Supreme Court because his nomination was invalid, having failed to join Labour Party 30 days to primaries
Season 2- He is fined by CCT as a pardon for jail sentence for running secret foreign accounts as a Governor and his less than transparent use of public funds to Advance family ventures- Fidelity Bank and the brewery
Season 3- Obi is barred from running for elective offices in Nigeria again.
squash47: If you don't want her to accept gifts from other guys, spend so much money on her so that she will have no need to beg. Don't tell me you're too broke to spend at least 100k on ur woman every month.
I keep saying this, u guys are not well In this country.
larryking78: My Brother, try and take care of her first. A man must summon courage to take care of a woman. If you like her, and you want a forever relationship with her, take care of her. Forget Hakimi lifestyle, don't copy another man's style because laslas you must marry and if you cannot take care of your home you are worse than an INFIDEL(someone who is useless).
Decide for once, and shoulder up responsibility to take care of her besides how much is airtime that you cannot buy for her. Buy data subscribe for her and even try and sponsor her feeding once in a while.
Give her the impression that she means Well and everything to you. Protect her, provide for her. Don't expose your woman to the world just be a man.
If you know she does not worth your time, if you know there's no peace with her, if you know you cannot endure with her, please leave her with her nature of gift collection in peace.
But if she's intelligent, smart, courageous, and you feel she's a good mother in waiting, my brother, borrow Brain from God for.once, stand up become a man, get yourself a better job enough to take care of a woman.
Esortigress: Hakimi is just a mummy's puppet every woman should avoid, this doesn't mean I support the wife but what sense does it make for a grown man with kids to have all his wealth in his mother's name? Mary these type of men at your own peril.
another pained one spotted, una go learn d hard way.
