What these men do before the elections are irrelevant, what they do after winning and sworn in is what matters and is CRITICAL. If they travel out FIRST TO SHOW themselves to "WORLD LEADERS" then (as illustrated by the incumbent and even predecessors) there can be no progress in the country. When the heavens of a man is opened, in this case, winning the presidency, the 'high places' that are plaguing the nation have to be cast down and done with. Failure to do so, whether it is Obi, Atiku or Tinubu that get there, the nation will be worse.
Nigeria's prosperity, peace and progress are being held by "high places" not of the Living God.

You act like this, you re called fake, you act expectant, they call you entitled/desperate etc. The answer is never go to eat in another person's house, period. Matter of fact, a level of discipline is the will to say no thanks I am not hungry/I already ate etc And if we re struggling with that...here's a way out, when going to another's place and you know you struggle to decline just take your snack or meal with you (even a piece for your hosts too). That way, you dodge the bullets of being called a hypocrite/hungry and earn your respect. No one hates a giver

When a nation is to be destroyed, sexual immorality is a major instrument. Please, let us look after, teach and instruct our children (every child we meet) in the Way of the Lord.

Simple answer:Our life. Infact, every life is preaching something, whether it is the Gospel or something else. May what we profess on the outside, be consistent with who the Spirit is inside of us

Tbh enh, to steal and be caught in Nigeria (even steal at all) should be a serious deterrent. I mean the value of the beating and the thing stolen are not commensurate at all. The irony though is the fact that there is a hunger that causes one to lose one's human mind, not forgetting the influence of drugs.

He who hath an ear, let him hear:
If the "High Places" of a nation have a price that can be bought with money. Then it can be sold with money. When we look at every king of Israel and Judah who took not away the high places, (some did what was right in the sight of the Lord, majority did evil) all they successfully achieved, during and after their reign was plunge the nation into further depravity... if Tinubu, Atiku, Obi, even Osinbajo or whoever gets there is not courageous enough to tear down the 'high places' (occultism, love for money, carnality, lust of the eye&flesh, idolatry, sexual perversion, bloodshed etc) of that Nation, such will only further heighten the aggravation the predecessor caused or sustained.
Nigerians, it is not time to ask what is God saying about Nigeria when we cannot definitely say what God has said about our own tent (personal lives).

What exactly does this woman stand for: is she Yoruba? Is she a true believer (christian) yet unequally yoked (married to a muslim)? Is she a Democrat? Ran and held a political seat for many years portraying all from that constituency as unintelligent and incapable of running. Here she is now, Kneeling down for another woman's husband yet we have no record of her ever kneeling or even curtseying for her own... like the whole circus Nigerian politics is, her portrayals are only smack of the chameleon tendencies of the clowns and jesters called politicians in Nigeria. Majority Anyways can be deceived but a few, and growing number are not

You see no one touches a man's heart who will eventually not move his hands. One cannot assess the op's narrative correctly, owing to the fact that one does not know the relationship between them. Who knows maybe Uncle used to live in their house before he travelled or maybe op's parents sent him to school, I mean the possibilities could be more than the op let on. Nonetheless, gratitude alongside patience and the truth that no one upon this earth owes you a dime are virtues. Rather than say the money was not enough for you, you could say "Thank you Uncle for remembering me, I know if you had more, you would, nonetheless, I thank you, with this 30k , I plan to do x,y,z - I will send you pictures of them. Btw, Uncle, I am also into running errands for people abroad. I can help you with transcripts, purchasing stuff out here when you need folks to bring them out there for you, clearing your imports, cutting the grass on your land, supervise your projects etc. We are family, so you get discount".
These are the ways one can show gratitude and position to get more from "Uncle". A sense of entitlement especially towards folks who live abroad is cery unfair. Nowhere under the sun is free of problems, a major difference is the value of the Western currency compared to Naira and perhaps visionless and spineless leadership and citizenry.

Make una no focus on the one wey matter, na make una dey measure who do pass for skull mining. As una dey point the finger enh, confirmed ritualists no dey discriminate, once them catch you, dem no go say na Yoloba or Igbo - all na blood, human part and game. Instead of make we investigate proper go find these people dem burn them tire, na irrelevance we dey hammer...abi na until dem touch person wey we know na him we go get sense?

I have some observations: asides dancing and riding on the foundations of "Serubawon" his elder brother (May he RIP) or the family wealth, is there anything progressive, he has done for the town of Ede, State of Osun or even Nigeria, while a senator or afterwards? One never sees or hears him on tv or social media sharing about himself or his ideas/beliefs. This does not portray well for him, the party even the state of Osun.
If the incumbent are no good, so far, he does not present anything better.
He could do well with a media adviser who can package his individual intellectual and progressive side to sceptics, otherwise "Shame noni"(sic)

Calling more players who are doing well in their clubs, is not the problem. The problem is, Eguavoen's managerial tactics are not up to date:The boys who played at the AFCON had no fluidity, lacked cohesion, were full of too much individual play, team play was nil and raw talent was the plan. Eguavoen is still a national coach not an International one. If luck favours him against Ghana, the truth will not be denied in Qatar.

...and so Innoson diversified into cattle rearing dealing in high quality beef, milk, cheese, skin and fertilizer production. Thank you Mama, your death opened another opportunity. To slaughter all of them will not be wise at all

Abeg, these ones no go dey go strike?

On one side you have the arrogant responding to the ignorant. If this actually happened and not one of those used by liarbrities (sic) like freeze to maintain relevance, then both are not innocent. Who in his right mind would ask Freeze for money? When you pay attention to him, he hardly does anything not aimed at clout. By calling this dude out, he has achieved his purpose for life, that is to be popular, to get people's attention. Whatever happened to, "Sorry, I am not inclined or persuaded to help you" and then refer him to some of his "liarbrity" fake, clout chasing peeps to help the dude. Or even advise/coach the dude from his perspective of life, but nah Freeze cannot give what he does not have.

As for the asker( if there is such a word) Freeze did not help you get a visa, how on earth would he be, want or even help you get a ticket? You think Freeze sef no wan travel? Just because he is on social media and creating a ruckus every now and then, does not make him not have major problems. Matter of fact, one look at him beyond words and appearances and one can tell he has HUGE issues. There are many people who help others, they are not on the level of Freeze, Freeze is like clouds in a time of drought, that bring no rain.

Patrioticbreed9:
She later called me and said she will be investing N1mil, so should in case the market didnt last and her investment only tripple again, this time it will be 3mil. I felt something fishy though, na so e day easy to make money, Then i thaught maybe the masses are just investing 3k,10k etc and when it tripples they wont be a huge gain. She asked me to help her with 3500k that she can only bringout 650k, but i offered her 400k she thanked and promise to buy me a ps5. Long story short, the nigas blocked her in such a way that when she calls, the service wilk report saying "the number you call does not" exist! .

Guys be careful out there,its not easy loosing money in this rigme.

Beware of this new pattern.

Thank you for sharing this. For those at the edge, more insight for you to make an intelligent decision, to do or not to do. As is with most, if not all things in life, some will be for, others against. The challenge with crypto is, how can you hold it accountable, the ones working it, can one put a face or location to them should things go south. Moreso, the human 'me first' syndrome is universal. When things go well with it, who reaps first, and otherwise, who suffers first. The traditional physical contact way of doing things can be so confusing to the average blog, now add that to an online platform and one wonders what, is the wisdom in that

Ricky97:
Guys checkout how updated you are with some world's famous people.

The question is, who knows you @ op. Why dont we start with that?

Instagram/social media again!
When will we learn? This social media business is a setup. Whatever happened to going over to your wife, take her in your arms, look her in the eye, kiss her deeply and passionately and tell her all these things face to face and heart to heart. Why must you come and put it on social media? To impress who? Anybody but her? Sammie, what are you trying to hide? Are there more issues beyond that episode, I just cannot get it.... Even after that unfortunate episode. Bros, has not learned the major lessons - KEEP YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS TO YOURSELF, WE DID NOT, DO NOT AND WILL NEVER CARE. This also applies to anyone who shits, pees, and fian! you go on social media? Do you ever wonder where what you post ends up...I mean WTF!

kkins25:
whule you go on spewing rubbish, hope you know that Nigerians are the most educated demographic of diasporans in the united states.

Learn to love your own. the white man doesn't care about you

Rubbish it sounds and is to one of the oppressed Nigerians who want to japa just because others are doing so, and have no clue or plan about where they are japaing to.

As for: " the most educated..." you refer to, an EMPHATIC, YES I AM ONE OF THEM! When you meet a Nigerian who has paid countlessly for the atrocities, committed by unscrupulous Nigerians out here, (including those in Government) you decide, to go EQUALIZER on ANY NIGERIAN who decides to go against established rules. Circa 2010, I was pro-Nigerian masses, ignorantly blaming the politicians and Government for everything wrong with Nigeria. FFWD to 2018 to date, many Nigerians here are simply put, crooked, uncultured, disrespectful and again, UNCARING of the country they have come into.

As per "...learn to love your own" do you mean condone, cover or promote bad behaviour and let innocent people suffer for the mindless behaviour of those before them? How many Nigerians have you loved? If you re based in the diaspora, how many Nigerians, have you accommodated in your house, how many have you helped come abroad and stood as a guarantor for, only for them to ruin your reputation, how many have you loved to send you common leather sandal or email to encourage you when you suffer covert discriminaton out here...If you have not Japa'd (sic) yet, YOU WILL GET HERE and then, you will get to practice your "learn to love your own" philosophy and if you have, you just observe most Nigerians you come across, they really cannot hide what and who they are. Or are you one of them? �

As for " the white man doesnt care...", my dear, the white man only cares about his country, his comfort, his convenience and greed, anyone who is not a threat to that, the white man is cool with.

If you must japa, please note, the country you are going to has citizens, who have a way of life far different from where you are coming from. They are not money obsessed, they do not show off, they understand rules and why they are there. Their Citizens are not crazy about dual citizenship or multiple residence rights elsewhere. They cannot and will not understand the greed and lack of human decency many Nigerians abroad have ingrained in them. Whether home or abroad, the worst, highly suspected, untrustworthy of black specie in the world is A NIGERIAN.

A lot of Nigerians who Japa are oppressed internally and externally. Their motive for japa is to selfishly improve their material acquisition (like a revenge mission) - come out here, hustle anyhow (illegitimately) illegally, get the paper return to naija and oppress the hell out of those who have not japa yet. Sadly, while so doing, they perpetrate so much atrocities that they give all if not majority of Nigerians a bad name. As such when genuine people do decide to japa, its like passing a camel through the eye of a needle. This couples with the fact that the people here (oyinbo and others generally) do not have the time nor heart for a 2nd impression.

Ironically, a majority of those who japa either now or 40 years ago have not, do not and choose not to change their Naija-born spots, rather when they get out here, their vices are only amplified and given unbirdled expression. This has been the case forever... England, America, Spain, even now Canada. There are very few Nigerians, (it does not matter if naturalized, perm res, valid/overstay visa status, students, etc )WHO ARE NOT SCAMMERS (past/present), LIARS, PROUD, OBNOXIOUS, MALICIOUS and CARE. It is who Nigerians are.

Now, If you must japa, ye must be born again. Get ready to ditch all the nonsense parapo ways you have lived by in Nigeria and embrace your host country. Realize that if the people here, are like where you are coming from, you would never be attracted to coming here. Take the time to know why their systems work, not ONLY from Nigerians (Naturalized people) but from Caucasians and other groups. Migrating for a better life is not a sin, but to destroy the new place to improve where one is coming from is totally unacceptable and WE NIGERIANS WHO HAVE PAID A PRICE FOR STH WE DID NOT BUY, WILL NO LONGER PUT UP WITH IT - WE WILL EXPOSE ANY NIGERIAN WHO COMES HERE AND DOES ANYHOW, NOT ONLY THAT WE WILL LEAD THE PROSECUTION TRAIN TO GET YOU ALL DEPORTED.

Ye Be Warned!!!

Lol... victim here!

Sociology is officially the most useless course on Earth! I advice my students to rewrite JAMB the next year if they are offered courses like Sociology, Philosophy, etc with no chance to cross to a more meaningful course in 200l.

This is a deeply worrisome yet highly ignorant opinion. Every society is a product of sociology (the study of the social interactions that result in society). For you to have confidently disclosed such a short sighted perception, there suggests you either studied or know someone who did. Sadly most who study Sociology do so after their 'dream course' found them no good and dumped them in Sociology.

Excuse me Aunty, boyfriend number what was that? Cause e be like say your number of boyfriends and your papa money dey compete...#CommentingForAFriend

After receiving the judgment document

You will have to take this paper back to head quarters, they will then give you a crazy form yet again which you will have to take to the zone were you were arrested or booked. There the boss will sign and hand you a payment advise which you will take to any bank to make the payment to Lagos State Tax Deposit account.

Once this payment is made, a certificate of payment will be issued as confirmation. This receipt you will take it back to the headquarters at Oshodi Apapa express way. There they will confirm your payment and minute on the document for your car to be released to you. You will then have to made 3 copies each of all the documents in your possession as that moment.

Back to the zone
After the above is done you return you the zone will all the original documents from Oshodi then, they zone commander will confirm the documents and they calculate how long your car has been in their custody and you will be made to pay DEMORAGE N1000 per day. This payment will be made yet again into Lagos state Tax Deposit account.

Release of Vehicle
Once you have made the payment for the Demorage. Come back to the zone with your receipt. Your key will be handed over to you. But your tyres would have been deflated. You still have to give N1,000 to the vulcanizer to get your car tyres back up.

Wickedness!
Shameless, sheer and heartless callousness!!!
This is why, if one works for any of these parastatals, unless he / she is prayerful and God is merciful unto him/her, IT CAN NEVER BE WELL

If una like make some of una call am Ipob, chest beater or make the rest of una abuse them back, the truth be say in diaspora WE ARE ALL BLACK IN THEIR EYES! Shikena!! Something wey oyinbo go do, get away with am, if you dance around am small, fian! U don dey under their radar be that. No be even we Naija, wey be the most intimidating black specie in the whole world. The beef reach where, even our fellow blacks dey eye us one kain,to run us down and aground at the slightest opportunity. As far as we know, his win in the election may well have been a PR stunt to show (not establish) the world that Canada encourages diversity. Once that was achieved Mr Madu became dispensable such that it was just a matter of time and, the right push for it to be a 'thank you Mr Madu, you may step aside now' situation. A silent yet loaded get rid of him by any means possible tactic.

There are many lessons from this incident. I pray Mazi Madu and indeed all of us learn from it:
1. No matter how much ground you have acquired in the white man's land, your level or status, your BLACK skin colour is the first thing they see and respond to ALWAYS. So, before you do what you think is right in your own eyes, stop and consider, do I really have the stamina to go far should this get out of hand.

2. Once you leave Nigeria, be a student of your new country's ways. Not what is written on paper or shown on tv alone but the unspoken, abstract, 'read between the lines' realities the media will not disseminate. The structure of their society. What position is the black man, how are they represented, where do they live, what jobs do they do, how do they do them etc The biggest mistake is to get these answers from your fellow Nigerians. They belong to your group hence objectivity and honesty can be watered or misconceived.

3. As you rise in obodo oyinbo political circles, have a team of Advisers comprising PR specialists, Lawyers, police etc Had he got himself a team like that he would have been advised on how the call could be used for or against him. How it could be a weapon used by his detractors. His PR team could have spun it to project how he being an MP, is not above the law; How his call to the Police Chief was just to commend the involved officer's superiors of the impartial service he got and his paying the fine right away is to show his support for the men in blue. He could have gone live on social media to complement the officer etc

4. If Oyinbo people no like themselves, gossiping about each other, ready to snitch on each other etc shey na you Naija black man dem won like? No doubt our ingenuity, diligence and resilience will have them noticing us, but as long as you stay where they are comfortable with, you'll be alright. But try to give them an inkling of your ambition, they hate you further and will not hesitate to remind you of your immigrant history.

The opportunities this event could have opened up for him are enormous, sadly they were not utilized.

Not minding his own business!

KulHeadedHuman:
I'm seriously thinking why the teaching profession isn't well rated in terms of welfare packages. Teaching should be a noble profession held up high, but that's not the case in my country. I'm personally a lover of the teaching profession, was in it for about 5years, left it for 'greener pastures' and now feel like coming back home. The question remains 'to what end'? In the end, passion wouldn't pay bills. How do we change this narrative??

Because if teachers are well paid, they will teach well and with passion, people will get educated not certificated(sic), think for themselves, reading between the lines, keep the politician liars on their toes and maybe, replace incompetent leaders...but of course, the elite cannot allow that, they must remain in power, the masses must not wake up from their illusion and so, education must be de-emphasized, the youth must be distracted, enticed and numbed with entertainment (shattawale bs, bbn naija etc) rather than having them pose not only the right questions but also demand correct answers

The person in the above photo is not the one in the 2nd photo. Do not be deceived. #BodyDoubleThings #TheseWhitePeopleMastersOfIllusion

Rather than sponsor a fight for a world title they should subject him to a psychological evaluation, I mean accusing every sports minister who does not buy into his idea and not looking elsewhere, even abroad (I mean fights are being put up for legends Holyfield, Tyson, etc) should point to the fact that Bash Ali is either not selling his idea well or there are mental health undertones that are putting people off...
If boxing is all he knows and he cannot accept the fact that his hey days are behind him, maybe his state commissioner should designate him as SA on boxing or something in sports...Baba wants to be relevant, please lets honour a senior citizen somehow

Every ethnic group has a malady of some sort. Whether you are igbo, yoruba, hausa, ijaw etc the poverty and denial has eaten so deep that when truth is said, you know it is truth by the high numbers of those who attack it and those who defend it. The truth however is, no ethnic group in Nigeria is truly progressively united. Not igbos, yorubas ...the northerners to some degree are though, this is why even if they allow you to hold office, they know where you live, you start to get big headed they will not hesitate to burn down all you have in their land and send you out. For igbos, land, political power wey no even reach us, una come say make we allow onyeobia hold something: mba...no be for here. For yorubas, the matter is a sorry case...the fact they can allow foreigners in political matters suggests they do not and cannot trust each other. Go and see most of land or houses bought or built by igbos in Lagos, it was sold to them by divided, ignorant, myopic yorubas. Who would rather collect money and sell their heritage, labour and sweat of their fathers to strangers rather than their own. Just look at Lagos as a whole, it has been infiltrated such that people like the op is very afraid. Sadly the cock crowed since 1993. There is nothing any Yoruba can do overnight. Very soon an Enugu born will be deputy governor, and eventually Governor...you disagree? Not to worry, we have the numbers and we are not finished yet...
Igbo kwenu? Iya!, Igbo kwenu? Iya!! Kwezu enu? Iya!!!

But Jesus Christ (our undisputed role model) being the richest amongst His friends, did not change disciples the many times they could not keep up with Him... Anyways She knows those (her own sheep) she is talking to and they in turn, know her voice... if ye are one of her sheep, then please follow her voice.

In these beginning of the end times, let us be mindful that What one has not heard "His Voice" telling him or her to do or not to do and he/she does, leaves him or her 'on their own o!" being aware also that, Adam's reply (Gen 3:12) 'It was the woman You gave me..." did not exonerate him from partaking of the consequences (Gen 3:17).

He who has an ear, Let him hear what the Spirit of God is saying to him or her

BSsniffer:
Many Nigerians think Fulani are clannish. Some are. But there are other ethnic nations that are MORE tribalistic. It is not apparent because they are not in power. Give them power and it will become obvious. The least tribalistic nationality in Nigeria are Yoruba.

And Yorubas are the most unreliable, the most sellouts, the most likely to throw their brother under the bus and, most untrustworthy of ethnic groups in Nigeria...
