worworbabe:
Can you explain to us how it operates? I have seen many posts about the Rail line but none has actually explained the operations.

The time they leave Lagos, get to Ibadan or leave Ibadan to Lagos. Do they stop over in Abeokuta and do people board in Abeokuta or disembark there. Where are the stations located?

What time does the train leave Lagos or get to Ibadan and vice versa.

There should be more to news than just showing us pictures all the time.

This answers your questions.
They’re just testing for now with one service from Monday - Friday. Train departs Ibadan for Lagos at 8am and also departs Lagos for Ibadan at 4pm

The real question should be....what will you be doing with your partner that you spend a lot of time with, apart from talking and hanging out? Una go talk tire ehn!

I will choose girlfriend anytime.
I store all my programming projects online as a backup.
I just changed laptop last month and all I had to do was download all my software applications again, and continued working like nothing changed.

Ceyacap275:
Holla! Let me know when you are ready.

Received two failure deliveries while responding to your email.
Respond to mine

Aconomist:
I agree. We are failing on so many fronts. If not for the Lebanese in Lagos, the city would be a village. Lekki, Banana Island, Eko Atlantic where all developed by Lebanese investors -- specifically Chagoury Group while we just sit and bicker amongst ourselves.

Better say what you know.
I know one of the biggest developers in Lekki, he's a Nigerian. Sijumoto, one of the most popular developers in Banana Island is a Nigerian too. So I don't know where you come up with your info from, simply because Chagoury is the one handling Eko Atlantic.

The second picture is not Abuja.
Abuja is still somewhat empty, it doesn't have clustered buildings yet. Plus Abuja doesn't have a river and neither is there port operation as seen in the background of that picture.

WoundedLamb:
Don't dismiss their submission. For some people, especially relatively new immigrants, going to work was their only way of meeting and associating with people. With the lockdown, they've got nowhere to go. That's probably the case of the person you quoted. They know the lockdown doesn't prevent anyone from stepping out, that's why they're asking if anyone wants to hang out.

Thank you jare, you get it.
These past two weeks have really made me appreciate the unnoticed excitement of simply going out from Monday - Friday, especially in a foreign country.

ednut1:
once would think lockdown means you are not allowed to step outside your house going by what you wrote

I am allowed to go outside...but to see who?
Moved here early this year and I don’t really have any friends.
‘Working’ from home for 2wks is already driving me crazy, so I need to interact with people with similar time zones.

I’m not feeling this second wave lockdown at all, it’s made life unexciting being indoors for two weeks.
Anyone in Calgary who wants to hang out for casual drinks should holla.

Funkyswagzz:
I just need a companion. Also everyone in my family is married and I dont be left out.

Let love come to you, don't look for it. If you meet a woman with great qualities who is compatible with you, you will know it.
Take your time, make friends without looking out for whom to marry. Let love happen, and marriage will follow.

MadeMan01:
My brother it is hard.
That is my exact predicament. The simple truth is that Nigerian economy is so harsh that it has made people put a monetary value on everything even love.
My predicament is I met a lovely girl three years ago whilst working. She was in her final year then and just completed NYSC. I lost my job in first trimester of last year. But before my girl left for NYSC in November 2019, I was getting some unsavoury vibes from her. I asked her about it she didn't speak out. But as a guy, I suspected the stress of me being jobless played a role. Prior to this, the girl told me she wants to go o Canada and for this reason i started Canada moves.
Can you believe, this lady couldn't even wait for the outcome of the process despite knowing how far I'd gone with application and frequent teasing me about seeing her folks which I planned for December 2020. She messaged me in February 2020 to break it off for some guy in Abuja.
Fast forward to November 2020, Canada visa has clicked and the girl that should be enjoying it is nowhere around me. I really love her. My brain tells me to leave her, my heart says go back to her forgive her stupidity after all she planted the seed of Canada in my head. Also I have two bank job offers.
I am considering leaving her, going to Canada and getting a Canadian woman but a part of me holds her dear. I know Nigerian poverty caused her to make that decision. But my concern is whether she would have learnt her lesson and won't give up on me in Future joint project no matter how hard

You see trouble and wan carry yourself enter by yourself. Tomorrow you will come back to this same Nairaland to cry about women.
You see a girl who is clearly an opportunist and you are writing long story about love which is supposed to be unconditional.
Better move on and face your life in Canada, otherwise divorce awaits you here when things are not going well for you.
Living abroad requires that you have to be more careful in choosing your life partner because the environment here is naturally friendly for divorce.
A word is enough for the wise!

Funny stories on this thread

No rules per se but this woman was a trouble maker. An old American woman wey don attract beating from previous tenants due to her never-ending troubles.

Moved out this month before she turns my life in Canada to a criminal one. Me wey never go police station before.
I'm never staying in the same house with a landlord again until I get my own house!

salford:

The oyinbos that also buy into the conspiracy theory Bullshyte are majorly the uneducated ones.

Yes oh, like my former landlady.
She votes for Trump because Trump is for Christians

sweettease:
Conspiracy theorist aiye ... wehdone sir

As in ehn.
Oyibo go dey invent new technologies to make the world a better place, while Nigerians no go invent anything, instead na to dey invent conspiracy theories to link the hard-earned oyibo inventions to things like ...mark of the beast and many other stupid conspiracies.
I tire for the mentality of my people, especially Nigerians living in Nigeria.

teewaik:
Hello sir/ma guess we are in the same shoe.I'm also currently running a masters at unilag, with the intention of going for another masters in a different programme at NTNU...Could we possibly share contacts. I just needed someone we could run this things together....Thanks for your response

My advice will be that you do not include your masters in your application.
I think priority is given to international students who have not done a masters yet.

rolams:
A Congress on 26 rep decides the winner

Decide between the two major presidential candidates?

Dansuqi:
If biden wins Nevada,he would need to add Arizona or one more state...if both end at 269,then the house of reps will vote to elect the next president

Associated Press and Fox have already called Arizona for Biden.
Will the reps vote between Biden and Trump?

Assuming the results end the way they are now - Biden wins Nevada while Trump wins the rest: Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, giving Biden 270 against Trump's 268.

What if Biden lost Nebraska's second congressional district's 1 vote, leaving them at a tie of 269?
Who would have been declared winner?

Agbegbaorogboye:
You need sleep a lot

Who needs sleep now
I'm up and ready at 7:40 am with Biden set to be elected president.

You need sleep now oh

olujastro:
Been a long night with you guys with 7 states left that can go either way.
I expect to wake up and see Biden take Arizona and Nevada, and hopefully he miraculously takes 2 more states - Georgia and Wisconsin, while Trump wins Michigan, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Biden elected president

Wow! Political miracles are indeed possible.
Just woke up to see Biden has overtaken Trump in 2 states that he needs to win - Michigan and Wisconsin.
This has to be the closest US election I've ever seen.

Biden will be elected as the 46th president

Been a long night with you guys with 7 states left that can go either way.

Biden elected president

lymelyte:
Biden is getting close to the electoral mark compare to trump

He's analysing based on realities, not sentiments.
I want Biden to win but Trump will likely get reelected.
In the US election, some states are sure Red or Blue, thus American presidential election is won by whoever takes the key swing states.
If Biden must win, he must win either Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan or Florida.
Unfortunately, Trump is leading in these states and might win them.
Biden is only likely to flip Arizona so far which will not be enough.

binghammer:
Those are not totally called. Read the fine lines. Some news orgs call certain states that they believe can't be contested by the other party.

I know what you mean. These colour updates from New York Times and The Guardian are live updates of completed state results.

binghammer:
Not totally confirmed!

New York Times. I don't give fake news!

119-94 in favour of Biden now.

It's 85-55 now in favour of Biden.

alexistaiwo:
This American system of choosing their president mathematical permutations hard pass further mathematics

It's actually easy if you understand it.
Each state is alloted number of college votes based on population - California gets say 55 while a smaller state like Vermont can get 3.
Winner of each state gets all the college votes (winner takes it all per state).
Whoever gets majority of the college votes in total is elected president

ednut1:
She said over 15 bodies were counted. Who are they abi dem no get families too. DSS should arrest this lady for inciting violence

Guy, I expect you to be wiser than this.

Are you saying that the Army didn't shoot at the protesters at all?
What about the gunshot victims that were rushed to the hospital from the scene? The same victims that Sanwoolu went to visit at Reddinton, among which two later died?

Do better next time please.

A campaign speech instead of addressing the various incidents across Nigeria, particularly the #LekkiMassacre
Buhari and his advisers who wrote this speech are not just brainless, they are brilliantly stupid.

Indeed there is a new sex style called Buhari, in which you just stay on top and do nothing.

Obviously this continuous protest is beyond #EndSARS.
Nigerians are angry... but if we don't switch it to what's on our mind, the government won't get the message and take quick actions like they have done with SARS.
Going forward, our banners should read..

#EndBriberyAndCorruptionInNigeria
#24hrsElectricityAMustInNigeria
#EndPayingDoublePriceForPassport
#EndExtortionAtAirports

Infact #EndAnyTypeofExtortionInNigeira

From the countless results I've seen so far, APC has won this Ondo election already.
APC - 1st, PDP - 2nd, ZLP - 3rd.

One thing is clear, that you cannot defeat an incumbent governor easily in Nigeria,....unless he performed terribly and the major political actors in the state gang up against him using only one party to face him.

Congrats to Aketi in advance!
Meanwhile, #EndSARS.
