This has forced some Nigerians off the streets, out of their jobs, and, in some cases, back to Nigeria through quiet, self-arranged departures, while some go into hiding.

It's well with all in this year

Good vision of the future

The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) says that INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan should be sacked because he wrote a report about Christian genocide in Nigeria in 2022. They say that he cannot be INEC Chairman because he would be biased against Muslims.

The organisation described the pardon as a grave miscarriage of justice and a painful reminder of the Nigerian state’s failure to protect Fulani lives in Oyo State.

And since when they moved to Kwara, Kwara did not remain the same.

Kwara is an haven or dens of kidnappers, bandits and terrorists.

Grant it to terrorist, in the later future you pay dearly for it.

You are doing it because of Trump, Trump is not residing in your country, nor operating the same system with Spain.

You want to sow air because of Trump policies in USA, don't worry, you will reap whirlwind especially when you open you door to terrorist after granting them full right.

Congratulations to those who are genuine, your tw has come.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder if this police people are human beings or animals .. especially Nigerian police .

I wonder what kind of things they teach them in police academic and recruits centres...

Sometimes, I wonder how majority of them think in one direction.

Holding someone up for five days when the law you are the custodian says you should not hold someone more than 24/48 hours...

If she were to be yahoo boys or criminals with cash, I she would have been released since to continue her work but seems nothing is coming out of her side, they held her captive...

Sometimes I wonder whether there is something they use to change their right thinking

Is Nigeria really an "Energy Giant," or are we just scratching the surface? 🇳🇬⚡️
According to the International Energy Agency, Nigeria is the 5th largest producer of electricity on the continent.
Nigeria’s position among Africa’s top five producers is a profound paradox: despite being a "top" generator, defined by chronic energy poverty. While South Africa and Egypt use their massive outputs to sustain industrial economies, Nigeria’s similar total output is diluted by a population of 240 million, leaving the average citizen with 20 times less power than their South African counterparts.
This creates a "Giant with Clay Feet" scenario where Nigeria’s grid provides just 170 GWh per million people, a staggering contrast to the 3,522 GWh available in South Africa or the 2,001 GWh in Algeria.
If you could solve one part of the energy chain: Generation, Transmission, or Distribution, which would it be?
Let’s discuss the future of the grid in the comments! 👇

How did Nigeria became giant of African self?
Is it by population that we are giant or by corruption?

I think before calling a country a giant amongst her fellow countries, he's already leading in 95% of everything...

Can someone help me with how we came about the name. Maybe it will help the sane of most of us here not to be bothered anymore when we see this kind of news.

Which means, the woman has tolerated for long, enduring him until when she needs to safe the feature of her children and her..

If I were directly to see this man, he should tell us the truth and how wicked he's to the wife and children.

I'm not blaming the wife and the children.
I'm a man and father. Many father and men are cruel to their wives in many ways..

Some father doesn't worth it to be honest with you guys..

I'm speaking from many experiences with another one with very close relative.

This man, God blessed him in the military, treating his wife badly with Allan e of 30,000 monthly for food and schools fees, that was 18yrs ago till their final seperation.

The woman suffered, i mean first class suffering to raise these two Boyz till now.
With the help of me and others, her life returned to normal with the said husband abandoned them from 2010 till now.

Now! In later years, this man also would want to go to news, social media and more to splash words.

This man going around having babies with different baby mamas...

The reason why yahoo boys often used them for ritual because the like money more than their lives...
It's make them vulnerable and easy target and open to danger without knowing that while hunting man or men with money or riches, the same are hunting them to keep the money increasing because of love of money.

AMINDA:
Contrary to what his Nairaland lackeys say, Tinubu will face very stiff opposition in 2027, even from the Southwest. The coast is still not clear yet in Lagos, Osun and now Oyo in 2027. He cannot win the Southwest in a landslide.

It's just a political buhaha...
Comes 2027, people will vote for BAT.

Right from the top, the politicians know it's the time of south south for 8 years...

All these stunt you see from all of them, do not take it serious to heart because at the verge of 2027, you will see turn around and betrayer of people's trust.

They will all work for APC to win presidency while also bargain to remain in governorship office.

Which frustration?

I have a friend, he makes cool cash with easy working condition yet spends 20-30k daily and can stay there even longer than some working hours.

That's is not frustration, that's enjoyment and spending to achieve leisure.

Me, when I'm frustrated, I refresh, eat and sleep to regain self.

Most of it all is when certain individuals want to benefits all that is meant for the rivers people, and the other says, no this resources is for the people not for only the elite or when resources greediness enters, then such a dispute will be bound to surface.

Akinpedia:
Big Brother Naija. It's the biggest reality TV show in Africa, a massive platform that turns ordinary Nigerians into overnight celebrities. For three months, these housemates dominate our screens, our social media feeds, and our conversations. Millions vote for them, dedicate fan pages to them, and dream with them.

Then, the show ends. The winner takes the prize, the headlines celebrate, and everyone else slowly… fades.

Think about it. Out of the dozens of housemates we've seen since the show began, how many can you truly say have maintained a significant level of fame or built substantial careers solely from their BBN platform? A handful, maybe? For the vast majority, the spotlight dims, the fan pages go silent, and they return to relative obscurity.

Why does this happen? Is BBN a poisoned chalice for most? Let's explore some hard truths.

The "Borrowed" Shine: No Unique Value Proposition

Many housemates become famous simply for being in the house. They haven't necessarily showcased a unique talent, skill, or compelling brand beyond their participation. Once outside, the audience asks, "Okay, what's next?" If there's no immediate, clear answer – no music, no acting, no distinct business venture, no powerful personal brand – the interest wanes. Their fame was an extension of the show's fame, not their own intrinsic value.

The Illusion of Effortless Success

The BBN house offers a curated environment where all basic needs are met. Housemates live a life of relative luxury, engaging in tasks and games without the real-world hustle. This can create a false sense of how the industry works. Post-show, they face intense competition, rejection, financial demands, and the sheer grind of building a sustainable career. Many are simply unprepared for the harsh realities of the entertainment or business world.

The Lack of Strategic Post-Show Planning

For many, getting into BBN was the plan. What happens after is an afterthought. The truly successful ex-housemates often had a clear vision or a strong management team ready to hit the ground running. They monetize their fame quickly, launch products, sign strategic endorsements, or pivot into a niche. Others just ride the wave of initial popularity until it crashes.

The Saturated Market & Short Attention Spans

Every year, a new batch of fresh, eager faces enters the BBN house. This means a constant influx of new "celebrities" vying for the same endorsement deals, media attention, and fan loyalty. The public's attention span is notoriously short, and yesterday's star can quickly become today's forgotten housemate, especially with new seasons consistently introducing new darlings.

The "Character" vs. "Personality" Conundrum

Inside the house, some housemates play a role or highlight certain aspects of their personality that make for good TV. While entertaining, this "character" might not translate well to a sustainable personal brand outside. When the cameras are off, and they have to be their authentic selves, or present a more mature, business-oriented persona, fans who loved the in-house antics might lose interest.

The Hard Truth

Big Brother Naija is a phenomenal launchpad, but it is not a guarantee of lasting fame or success. It offers an incredible opportunity, but only those who are strategic, hardworking, talented, and adaptable manage to convert that temporary spotlight into a sustainable career. For the rest, it remains a fleeting, glorious memory.

What do you think? Which housemates, past or present, do you believe have truly broken this cycle and built something lasting? Share your thoughts!

because the show is not looking to contribute to human development, technologist, scientist, expert in different fields or professions or even Nigeria progress.
It is only out there to contribute to the problem of Nigeria teaching young minds and individuals that you can walk your ways up there through immorality and not through hard or creative efforts.

Also, the fame faded because most of the participants are empty upstairs buying their way into the show through bizzared way.

Can't Nigeria Labour union declare nation wide protest and set at home for one month inorder for the FG to find a total solutions to this banditry?

And secondly, the people can pull a strong protest that any state that witness banditry, the governor, commissioners and security chiefs should be replaced and jailed.

I'm just thinking for a lasting solution to all these problems

An Abroad-based Nigerian man has been reportedly deported from Europe after returning a lost wallet to the police, an act of honesty that unexpectedly exposed his immigration status.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by AsakyGRN, the man recounted how the Nigerian found a lost wallet and decided to do the right thing by taking it to the police station.

However, when officers asked for his ID, he was unable to provide one.

It was later discovered that he was living in the country as an illegal immigrant, leading to his eventual deportation.

The story triggered emotional reactions online. One commentator wrote, “This world no balance. Person do good, na punishment follow.”

Another said, “[b]Law is law. The police did their jo[/b]b.” Others expressed sympathy, with one user saying, “He chose honesty over survival. That’s painful.”

The incident has once again highlighted the harsh realities of undocumented life abroad, where even good intentions can come with serious consequences.

Irrespective of your good kind, when it comes to law, Thier Yes is Yes.

Law is different and empathy is different.

Don't expect empathy to play when law is at play especially on individuals who do not obey or respect the law at the first place...
