Is Tinubu taking money to his grave ?

My brother I just tire, these old men are close to the box, why can’t they just pocket their greed and fix the country before they go.

Portugal sees protests over cost of living and housing crisis as demonstrations sweep Europe


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcI1kCVchwY?si=4qdrgQfmJlF16-EC



It comes as major cost-of-living demonstrations in France on Saturday turned violent as protesters clashed with riot police.
Several housing rights movements are joining trade unions affiliated with the CGTP union federation in demonstrations across Portugal on Saturday, as a series of cost-of-living protests sweeps Europe.

The union confederation has called for protests under the slogan: "Higher wages, better pensions, and public services. Against the rising cost of living. A new course for Portugal!"

Rallies are planned in Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon.

The deepening cost-of-living crisis is affecting much of Europe, driven by rising prices and fuel costs and shortages of affordable housing, and has prompted thousands of people to take to the streets to make their voices heard.

"Faced with the rising cost of living, housing and fuel, even a basic shopping basket has reached an exorbitant price," a CGTP spokesperson told SICN in Coimbra on Saturday morning.

In Porto, the march set off from Praça da Batalha at around 10:30 am and is due to end in Praça D. João I, where protests against the housing crisis have been held throughout the week.

"We are continuing with our people's assembly, with the backing of ordinary citizens, independently of any party. People come from different groups, but we are not institutionally tied to any of them. This outcry is the result of abuse of authority and a way of saying 'enough of this crisis'," Pedro Manuel, one of the organisers of the protest in the city, said on Friday.

"There are those who want to drag us into debating other issues," the Left Bloc's José Manuel Pureza told the Associated Press. "But what people are demanding that we discuss is the right to housing for everyone."

"Those whose rent is getting ever more expensive, those whose mortgage is increasingly hard to fit into the family budget. That is what we are talking about, that is why people have been protesting, always peacefully, always peacefully," he added.

In Coimbra, the rally began outside Portugal dos Pequenitos and is expected to end in Praça 8 de Maio, in front of the city hall.

In the capital Lisbon, thousands of people are expected for a march scheduled for 14:30 pm local time, starting in Cais do Sodré and finishing in Rossio. However, the mayor of Lisbon has warned that, although he considers it "a just cause," the protests must take place "within the law."

Speaking to the Lusa news agency, CGTP general secretary Tiago Oliveira said the demonstrations were taking place because of the "brutal increase" in housing prices and in the cost of living.

Oliveira also warned of the growing "degradation of public services" and said it was an opportunity for citizens "to fight against the government's policies."

A similar pattern with the Arab spring. What do we call this now ? The euro spring?

smallsmall:
The gods are not to blame, they do what we inquire of them!

It is we Africans who ask our gods to do this or that for us (kill this, maim that, blind this, cripple that ), instead of asking them to develop wingless flight for us, develop interstellar-travel for us, develop pocket-sized, audio-command Nuclear W#@pons for us, develop cure for serious Ailments like Cancer, CKD, Liver diseases, etc, using just Palm wine and Incantations.

Our forefathers used to make good use of these gods, back in the days, at least to some extent, despite still using it for Evil.

The problem with "TODAYS" Africans is that they are only interested in using it to do Evil, Make Money and use it to Oppress themselves.
Moreover, the 'ingredients' used in preparing many Potions are no longer easily available as a result of urbanization and Fulani Herdsmen have made our Forests inaccessible for now.

You have a point, But thats very weird of our people if truly they inquire these things from these so called Gods.For example, those that put (magun on thier wives) Imagine being more concerned about gatekeeping your wives v, than actually inquiring something more important from the Gods like power to create , innovate and invent , or to even succeed in all ramifications. Funny thing is, these so called things always have blowbacks if the said wife don’t end up cheating, why gamble with your life like that over some dumb sheet?

Stephen0mozzy:
For one, the law of karma...so the man deserves what he gets.

In Benin tradition, if your wife fioweyoha (has extramarital affairs), and you know and then still intentionally sleep with her, eat what she cooks, you go just die. But if you call her out, she'll have to do a lot pf cleansing before she can remain your wife - else you send her packing".

Now this their case is not Benin of course, and the man is a public plumber, so na them know.

Well, I Dey always hear about this tradition where men whose wife cheated might lose thier life due to extramarital affairs. Not only Benin sha, I Dey hear am too from that urhobo side. But all these things no make sense to me. Other atrocities far more grievous than infidelity always go on in these same places or communities, people tying other people destinies, spiritual murders, invoking madness, bariness and whatnot. These gods always looks away and turn a blind eye. And all of a sudden they become active when two consenting adult decides to have sex, why the selective justice? In that same Benin, A young boy I know of was killed spiritually, the father buried him with a cutlass to avenge spirituality , After a while , it was learnt that those who killed the boy still went to chain him again spiritually as to be incapable of carrying out the revenge. Omo, we Africans need to ask ourselves questions, Why are all the gods or deities always so interested in the fleshy affairs of humans ?

Stephen0mozzy:
Not if she wants to maintain her image as an "understanding wife". She'll cherish the idea of the man being an "egnorant phuul" who thinks he is smart.

Hmm, either way my brother, even if a man gets to find out his understanding wife is getting her back blown on the side, what can he do?

Stephen0mozzy:
I definitely won't be comfortable if my wife is COMFORTABLE with the knowledge of my infidelity.

I mean, I'll be faithful. But there's a high chance she's doing same to spite me too. Secretly.

A spiteful woman will never be secretive about cheating. How will she get her pound of flesh if you don’t get to find out ? She must see that pain in your eyes for her to sleep well.

..so all the entire girls in Nigeria are all into hookup?

No, But it’s a possibility. Every girl is a suspect until proven otherwise, incase you’re keeping your eyes peeled, look at it holistically. Like I said before, what might have prompted you to make your assertion is a definitional problem. How you have perceived hookup to be just for lazy girls like you’ve called them. I’m telling you for a fact that your highly revered hardworking girl is also fair game. Hookups goes on in professional settings, religious ones and whatnot. Clientele might just be different. Hookup is money exchanging hands for sex right?

Someone up there said it’s possible that most men are going to end up with hookup girls. Why? It’s because of the too many disguises these women put on to run the trade. But I’m sure, noble men as your self are only looking out for the nighttime roadside hookups as the ones to avoid. But let me shock you, 65percent of those girls have a legit day job. Even some girls in the brothels go out during the day to mix up with regular people, some of them go for skill acquisition, to learn a trade or to do some other jobs on the side, if one happen to meet a brothel girl in these circumstances can he tell? I agree with the other guy, men looking to settle down are really in trouble.

ufotunang:
..she is even the one that is lazy.. there are many girls out there that work and hustle legitimately without going into hookup and those girls achieve and become successful in their life without involving in hookup

My guy, Hookup is a spectrum, it cuts across all strata of women. That’s the mistake we men make.
We think it’s only the ones that stand by the roadside and the hotel pick ups that are the hookup girls. First of all, what’s is hookup? A man willing to offer money to a woman willing to offer her body in return right? So what makes you think that your girls working legitimately are immune to such arrangement? I have seen bank girls into hookups, sales rep, marketers, teachers, All it takes is a man willing to offer any kind of woman money , and if the price is right for her? Then the sex happens and hookup has taken place.

The main feature is what you would wish upon your sons and daughters; certainly not to grow up and be holoshos nor patronize one.

Here we go again with the father , mother , sister and brother reply. Okay you win.

LordIsaac:
1 Corinthians 6:9-11...and several passages in Proverbs give explicit warnings about dipping your body into public toilets!

lol, so I can dip? But not just in the public ones? How do you measure these things? what’s the metric to use in my assessment? . What distinguishing features should I be looking out for ? Like the toilet having a skill? Works in the bank ? teaches Sunday school? And not standing by the roadside past 10pm? how many ass would have had to sit on a toilet for it to be considered Less public?

Gerrard59:
I could write a thesis on the bold! Why are things always different in Nigeria? There are hundreds to thousands to millions of people having normal sexual intercourse across the world. But it's only in Nigeria where such brings forth misfortune and spiritual wahala.

It's in Nigeria you'll see grown adults proud to say "dem don use girls for yahoo plus", but there are countless of their mates having normal sexual intercourse across the Caribbean. With all the "use and yahoo plus", where they live is a proper sheethole without pedestrian walkways and they're poor!!!!

It's only in our place where you can become RICH if you use the panties of a young girl, but Japanese girls gladly package their panties to sell at convenience stores where Japanese men will buy them just to sniff. They're not afraid of "being used"

My brother, Sometimes , I actually do regret being a Nigerian. Wanted to say African but, If any other African country is moving this way too? Trust me, it’s a goddam Nigerian that transported the bullshit there.

Imagine the whole panties and Benz saga that year, Something that’s suppose to be just fun, smash these girls and let them go. How can you enjoy something and still bring out the worst in that thing?

These Godforsaken people callled Nigerians are so good at completely taking something good and innocent and turn it into something else.

They are the same people that will take a phone and put fufu inside and package to you , same people that will start thier own unliscenced winery , start mixing rubbish for people to buy and drink and die. Same people that will want to pay you with fake transfers after rendering a service. I don’t really blame any Nigerian who latch unto the believe that misfortune can be brought through sex. Was it not a couple of month ago that a barber was caught somewhere in the east trying to use his clients hair for rituals?

A country like that, Why will one not suspect a sex worker of wanting to use his comdom for something fetish? See all this hookup girls with all those thier waist beads, they might say there’s nothing there , that it’s just for beautification. But as you live in a country that’s fetish you become suspicious that that might not be the case, And you could be right , But the young lady too was only taking protective measures too because one fool thinks he can have sex with her with some spiritual stuff and buy Benz. The cycle continues and the spiritual implications may catch up to a totally innocent person who dosent move that way. So you see how the whole sex bringing misfortune thing can make sense to an average Nigerian?

LordIsaac:
How about the diseases and unclean spirits? Aren't those harmful?

Diseases? Yes, but there are protective measures for that right ? Unclean spirit? I don’t know what that means, will you be kind to explain that? Hope it has nothing to do with fetishm?

I hope we Nigerians knows that people also have sex in other part of the world? Why is our own thing always different?

guobe:
Will you advise your sister to join the gang of prostitutes or live uprightly?

This right here is always the last kick of a dying horse, the last trick pulled out of the hat. This tendency of always bringing people’s sisters, mothers into an argument is why I don’t bother with most of y’all. See the way she answered you constructively, sensible replies. Unlike yours that defies logic”
