SecurityNgr: Emenike maintained that Imo State deserves investment and its people deserve safety, adding that hospitals should remain places of care and hope.
Sadly, it's the people that would benefit from the hospital that will turn to attack the hospital...Emenike, keep speaking truth to power.
OBJ has spoken a reality but as usual most gullible Nigerians will deflect the matter and start insulting him. Let's note that OBJ is having good time and enjoying himself. He's speaking for posterity sake.
RolexOfGeneva: Is Akwa Ibom poorer than Ekiti? Or is it Rivers state that is poorer than Zamfara? You dey confuse me
Don't be confused. Get into the city, interact with the people, particularly the indigenes. A report is making the rounds that funds from FAAC allocation is majorly spent on only roads. Also check the employment rate however don't follow the NBS rating.
So does it mean that the FG only provide infrastructure to a place based on how well they voted for them? Secondly the only thing Wike has said that APC will do for the people of Rivers is to give them more appointments...how did we get this low?
Shay una wan vote APC? They will take from you and fund their lifestyle. It's more than 3yrs now and the economy they've been praising themselves about hasn't still stabilised...
Goo0dHardDick: Guys, I have come to realize that I'm extremely stingy, especially with money.
Don't get me wrong, I do give but before you can eat or get my money, it's obvious you must have probably worked extremely hard for it.
I don't know, I have this mindset of calculating my money after daily, weekly and monthly expenses. Anywhere I discovered I misspent I'll get angry with myself. Before I buy anything, I must have calculated it thoroughly and accurately before dashing out to the market or boutique. I can't just be walking on the road and see something beautiful and then purchase it without first going home to plan thoroughly about it.
As for women, lol. They call me stingy and aka gum. I don't use money to prove anything to anyone.
I am so stingy that before I do anything with money, the purpose of it must be crossed check over and over again and again to ascertain if it worth it.
Does anyone feels the same way or is it just me?
Please you're getting it wrong. You're being frugal and not stingy. Being frugal is a good thing to do. I'm also a frugal person.
The real challenge for France is addressing the root causes of public anger, easing economic hardship, and restoring public confidence. A nation's strength lies not in avoiding crises, but in how it responds to them.
Many APC governors will loose their structures come 2031. And like I said earlier, Wike is playing the long game and many of them are too blind to see. Because why hasn't he left PDP?
Deeaka: I have been thinking about something that I believe many salary earners can relate to.
Sometimes, once people know that you have a good job, they automatically assume that you have money.
You become the person they call when school fees need to be paid, when someone needs urgent assistance, when there is a family problem or when an unexpected bill comes up.
And honestly, helping people you care about is not a bad thing. Most of us want to be able to support our parents, siblings and other loved ones.
But there is something people don't always consider: earning a good salary does not mean that all your money is available to spend.
You have your own bills, savings goals, responsibilities and plans for the future. Some of us are also trying to build a life that will make us less financially dependent on our salaries someday.
The tricky part is that when you start saying no, people may think you have changed, become proud or forgotten where you came from.
Meanwhile, you may simply be trying to make your own money last until your next payday.
So I want to ask:
1. Do you think earning a good salary automatically makes someone responsible for helping extended family? 2. Have you ever had to choose between helping someone and meeting your own financial goals? 3. How do you set boundaries without damaging family relationships?
I'd genuinely like to hear people's experiences, especially from those who support family members while trying to build their own financial future
ANSWERS
1. NO. 2. Yes, and I choose to meet my own needs first. 3. Have a budget. Every month, set aside a little amount you can use to help, and once you've exceeded that amount, then the person asking for financial assistance should check next door.
Hemanwel: With the creation of the Rainbow Coalition by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, which is a cross-party political alliance aimed primarily to mobilize support for president Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate in the forthcoming general elections, without abandoning its ambition to contest the Governorship, Senatorial, House of Representatives, or State Assembly elections. This appears to have unsettled the party both at the States and other levels.
The APC can now be likened to the popular female dress, "Skirt and blouse", because the party now has a common goal at the top but divided at the bottom. This also means the Rainbow Coalition doesn't support the APC from top to bottom.
It has created a big division in the party, particular among the APC governors and Senators, who are accusing Wike of causing commotion in the party.
Personally, I see this as greed on the part of president Tinubu. Why would you welcome an alliance that will work for you to become president, but will work against the party at other levels? This isn't fair at all!
Blessing now, Cancer tomorrow...Wike is playing for 2031, unfortunately many of them aren't seeing it
uche87: If you have struggled with dating women your age or younger, you might want to try dating someone older than you. In my view, it is a different experience, and the pressure is considerably reduced.
Older women have been there and done that, like Lionel Messi, and there is often less for them to fear or feel anxious about. They are simply on a cruise, enjoying the journey rather than rushing to their destination.
If you are looking for something that is not too serious, financially demanding or stressful, an older woman could be the answer. In my opinion, older women tend to understand young men better. Even when you are not talking, they can actually hear you clearly.
They can look at a man’s age and understand some of the life challenges he might be facing. They know how frustrating life can be for a young man who is still trying to find his feet, especially when he has to deal with financial pressure, unnecessary arguments and endless demands. Some of them simply want to focus on the fun side of a relationship: pleasure, companionship and making beautiful memories.
They can also be excellent advisers on life issues. From my experience, some older women are less jealous than their younger counterparts. They create an atmosphere of peace, which is important for a man’s mental well-being. Some also cook exceptionally well and have a way of spoiling their younger lovers with thoughtful, simple gifts.
Let me be clear: I am not talking about a sugar mummy. I mean a romantic, respectful relationship that is not exploitative. There is little pressure. You see each other when it is convenient for both of you, eat, talk, discuss life and keep the bed shaking. Some of these women are also well-connected and could open doors to fantastic opportunities for a younger man.
I briefly had a relationship with an older woman, and we connected deeply. The encounter was cordial, respectful and genuinely meaningful. She opened my eyes to some of the mistakes young men make while living abroad. Her advice helped me navigate a challenging period in my life. Even after we moved on, we stayed in touch and occasionally teased each other about our old memories.
However, dating older women is not without its challenges. One thing I have noticed is that some can be very good at hiding their feelings. They are not always easy to get close to, and they tend to keep their emotions guarded. It can take time before they feel comfortable opening up to someone younger.
Even when they meet a man they admire, they may spend too much time assessing the risks instead of making a decision. But if you manage to crack the code, you might discover the playful, affectionate side of them that they rarely show to the outside world.
Loneliness can also be a reality for some older women, particularly those who struggle to find compatible partners. However, I believe many have simply become more selective about who they allow into their lives.
As expected, some people will frown at this argument. People often have strong opinions about experiences they have never had. But I believe dating an older woman is a goldmine worth exploring, particularly for young men who want companionship, peace of mind and a different kind of romantic experience.
I see it as something worth exploring in the interim, rather than necessarily a long-term destination. After all, not every relationship has to lead to marriage to leave you with valuable lessons, beautiful memories and a different perspective on life.

...and as usual, FG would blame it on the US - Iran War. Another trick could be, so that when they will announce the 1350 price, they will now fan themselves for a job well-done.
nairalanda1: And it's all down to the subsidy going....
I believe tinubu has lost the South east, largely because the South East's main industry, so to speak, is imports, and the sale of imported goods. Because the naira has been devalued, the amount of naira needed to buy forex has risen, which has made importing more expensive. Add the fuel subsidy removal making transport from the ports to the end point worse, and you have a lot of people suffering. Plus east relies heavily on food sent from the North...the grains, as well as imports, all now more costly thanks to dollars not being subsidised. As a result SE people are suffering massively .People would vote for Atiku and Obi.
Tinubu has also lost the North. Fuel should be reaching the N1500 mark by now, meaning that transport and so forth have gone up massively for many poor Northerners. Northern traders are having to deal with increased transport and other costs, ditto middle men. And the North is Nigeria's poorest region, so...there we are. Then the North has a raging insecurity problem, (it also affects the middle belt too, and the South). All that adds up to people voting for Atiku and Obi at the end of the day.
South West too is not safe, insecurity is a big problem, throw in high transport costs thanks to subsidy removal, and high costs of imports, and there you have it.
South South is going to be split between NDC and ADC.
The main thing is subsidy. In a way, with benefit of hindsight, tinubu and buhari should have supported susbdiy removal in 2012, by now the hard times from the removal would have dissipated, and assuming no changes in the leadership, there would have been enough in the reserves to pay for some limited subsides without borrowing. Instead, the best government can offer is a limited subsidy which would be paid for by borrowing.
In a way, tinubu is paying for supporting subsidy retention in 2012. He should have listened to the economists, not to the populists. But power hunger got him there (gej too should have been strong enough to remove subsidy, really tho).Had he listened to the economists, subsidy removal in 2012, would have meant that there would be no draining of the forex reserves to pay for subsidy on naira and on fuel.
Also, in 2015, APC had 15 million votes, in 2019, 19 million, 2023, 8 million. APC has been losing votes, not gaining.The signs are clear from that.
Subsidy is the issue in this election, and a good deed is going to get rewarded with removal. Funny enough, I doubt tht whoever takes over would bring back subsidy, but I do know that in 94 days time, Nigerians would vote out APC.
(I am ready to eat my words...but this is how it is going to be IMHO.)
Nice. I do appreciate your opinion...I think you should also consider the following;
1. Weaponised Poverty (This would really be deployed by the APC in the poverty stricken region).
2. Weaponized Tribalism (This would be used mainly in the South West)
3. Weaponised Religion (This would be used majorly in the North).
4. Weaponised Ignorance (This would be deployed in the rural areas).
