Vinnie2000: Dave Umahi was Ebonyi state Governor in 2023 but couldn't deliver his state to Tinubu/APC.
Even his Family members (who knew better) Defied him.
Same with El-Rufai who could not deliver Kaduna to Tinubu.
So now currently, Can the likes of *Peter Mbah *Douye Diri *Eno Bassey *Sheriff Oborewvori Etc, convince their citizens and Deliver their States to Tinubu in 2027?🤔
Drop your Take!🙂
It's for the people to unite and rise above poverty, tribalism, religion and ignorance...then Peter Mbah and the rest can go to hell
The court should take more than 6 months to hear this matter. The same way it took them to hear the case of the state of emergency declared in Rivers state.
RandDigital: The store, located at Fourways Mall in Johannesburg, replaces the former Game outlet and represents the company’s first visible branding effort since acquiring local retail group Massmart.
Walmart first bought a 51% stake in Massmart in 2010 and completed full ownership in 2022, delisting it from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange shortly after.
The rebranding marks a new chapter for the U.S. giant, which had long relied on Massmart’s brands, Makro, Game, and Builders, to navigate South Africa’s complex retail landscape.
“This move is part of Walmart’s strategy to localise while leveraging its global expertise in logistics and pricing,” analysts told Bloomberg, adding that the group’s Every Day Low Price (EDLP) model will target South Africa’s cost-conscious consumers.
Walmart’s push comes amid a fiercely competitive market dominated by Shoprite, Woolworths, Pick n Pay, SPAR, and others.
Yet, the company appears unfazed. Its entry aligns with the retailer’s global playbook: start local, scale quickly, and offer unbeatable prices.
More Walmart-branded stores are expected to roll out across the country in the coming weeks, with the company signaling plans to strengthen both its physical and online retail presence.
According to the Online Retail in South Africa 2025 report, the country’s e-commerce sector is growing at 38% annually, is now valued at about $7 billion, and is projected to capture 10% of the retail market this year.
Analysts say Walmart’s renewed investment, rather than retreat, shows long-term confidence in Africa’s retail potential.
As one put it: “Walmart’s story in South Africa is no longer about survival. It’s about scale, strategy, and a renewed bet on Africa’s middle class.”
I knew it wouldn't be in nigeria, and I wasn't wrong.
For every one genuine-looking profile on Tinder, you’ll find fifteen more selling something — a fantasy, a body, or a lifestyle. Let’s be honest: what used to be a dating app has quietly evolved into a digital marketplace.
A guy once said, laughing,
“Bro, na hookup site be dating site now.”
And he’s right.
Because these days, “Let’s hang out” usually translates to “Pay to play.” Conversations that used to start with “What’s your favorite movie?” now begin with “What can you offer?”
The romance has been replaced by negotiation. The affection, by transaction. And the connection? Well, that’s usually temporary — gone as soon as the bank alert hits.
Hookup culture has flooded the streets — and the screens — so badly that genuine dating feels like a lost art. Everyone’s performing; few are connecting. You’ll see bios that say “No hookups” but read like price lists in disguise.
It’s a strange new world where beauty is currency, and emotions are collateral. People are no longer dating — they’re bartering.
And yet, no one seems surprised.
Maybe it’s because we all secretly know that the line between “dating” and “deal-making” has long disappeared. What we’re left with is a culture where affection has a price tag and love has become a luxury item few can afford.
So the next time someone says,
“There are no real dating sites anymore…”
Don’t argue. Just smile and ask, “Who did this to us?”
It's a hook up culture where everything is sexualised.
Mr Daniel, pls go ahead and justify your salary, and please next time, always adjust your tie and the button of the collar of your shirt properly. Thank you.
Kozino: A Nigerian girl who is a student has shared with her friend what her boyfriend of 1 month (Destiny helper) already got for her and her family. To her, this is what love is all about.
The Price of Affection: When Gifts Become the Language of Love
The story is a familiar one. A young Nigerian student, her heart full of hope, shares an excited whisper with her friend. Her new boyfriend—her "Destiny Helper"—has, in just one month, not only gifted her things she desires but has extended his generosity to her family. In her eyes, this is not just kindness; this is the very definition of love. He is serious, he is capable, and he is proving his worth in the most tangible way he knows: through financial provision.
This scenario forces us to ask a difficult question: In the pursuit of love, does opening your wallet speak louder than opening your heart? Does using money to show you're serious really make sense?
The answer is not a simple yes or no, but a complicated "it depends."
The Case For: It's More Than Just Money
To dismiss this as mere materialism is to ignore the deep-seated cultural and practical realities at play.
1. The Provider Paradigm: In many cultures, including Nigeria, a man's ability to provide is historically and traditionally linked to his readiness for a family. It’s a sign of stability, responsibility, and foresight. When a man helps a girl's family, he isn't just buying gadgets; he is investing in her ecosystem. He is saying, "I see your world, and I want to be a supportive part of it." This can feel profoundly secure and respectful.
2. The Language of Action: In a world full of empty promises and "chatting," financial investment is a concrete action. While another suitor might be weaving dreams with words, the one who pays for a laptop, helps with a sibling's school fees, or settles a urgent bill is demonstrating commitment in a way that is undeniably real. It cuts through the noise and says, "My intentions are backed by sacrifice."
3. The "Destiny Helper" Complex: The term itself is revealing. In a challenging economic environment where many struggle, a partner who can alleviate real, pressing burdens can genuinely feel like a "helper" sent by destiny. For a student juggling academics and financial pressure, this support isn't just romantic; it can feel like a lifeline.
The Case Against: The Foundation Built on Sand
However, when gifts become the primary dialect of the relationship, the foundation can become dangerously fragile.
1. The Confusion of Currency: The most significant risk is the conflation of love with money. If a woman begins to equate being cared for with being cared about, she may find herself in a relationship with a banker, not a partner. The question becomes: Is he paying for love, or is he paying for control? Is he giving freely, or is he building a ledger of debt—emotional or otherwise—that will be called in later?
2. The Silence of the Authentic Self: When money does all the talking, the crucial, early conversations never happen. You don't learn about his temper when he's frustrated. You don't see his empathy when you're sad. You don't witness his integrity when no one is watching. The glitter of gifts can obscure the flaws in his character until it's too late. A man's generosity with his wallet tells you nothing about his generosity with his time, his ears, or his heart.
3. The Inevitable Shift: What happens when the money slows down? Economic fortunes change. If the relationship was built on the premise of provision, what is left when he can no longer provide at the same level? The love that was purchased can too easily be repossessed. A relationship that cannot survive a financial drought was never built on solid ground.
The Balance: Appreciation vs. Expectation
So, does it make sense?
It makes sense as a [/b]factor, but it is a catastrophic mistake to make it [b]the [/b]factor.
A man who is serious will often want to show it in tangible ways, and in a practical world, that includes financial care. There is nothing wrong with appreciating a partner who is generous. The problem arises when:
[b]Gifts become the expectation, not the appreciation. The value of the person becomes tied to the value of their presents.
The receiving partner forgets to look for the other, more enduring currencies of love: respect, trust, communication, shared values, and emotional safety.
True love is not a transaction. It is not a monthly subscription fee paid for with gifts. The man who is truly "serious" is the one who invests not just in your present comfort but in your future happiness. He invests with his time, his listening ear, his unwavering support for your dreams, and his consistent presence through good days and bad.
The "Destiny Helper" who only helps with money may just be a short-term loan. The one who helps you build a life of shared respect, emotional intimacy, and unwavering partnership—that is the true destiny worth waiting for. His generosity is a welcome bonus, but his character is the non-negotiable foundation.
What do you think?
Guys, in all your might and by any means necessary, avoid ladies that can't provide their basic needs by themselves. No matter how rich you are, avoid them.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has asserted that Nigerians owe President Bola Tinubu as the achievements recorded by his administration are a direct result of Tinubu's leadership.
Wike made the statement while commissioning completed access roads in Sector Centre B, located by the Dakibiyu District, Abuja.
During the event, the Minister stated "By [Mr. President's] leadership all the roads here have now been completed and in the next few months we will be here again. The Court of Appeal Division will soon be inaugurated by Mr President."
“I have always said that when you have the right leadership you can achieve unexpected results. Tinubu has shown the right leadership and that is why we are able to achieve. Talking about the achievement we have made, it is because of the right leadership.”
"I’m sure all those who walk around this place will begin to reminisce over, was this where we used to walk? This is the Dakibiyu District that we used to come to?" he asked rhetorically.
"Nigerians, we owe a lot to the president and I have always said, yes tongues will wag but when you are focused you will achieve results."
I don't understand how we are owing him. Is he using his personal funds to run the country? I'm asking for clarity because I really don't understand
Nemere2020: …Intercepts opioids, cocaine, skunk in sachets of alcoholic drinks, lady’s bags, black soap tablets going to Europe, Australia, UAE, Turkey, South Africa
malali: I am calling on Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), and on the Tinubu administration to immediately step in and facilitate the safe return and recognition of the Nigerian activist hero who participated in the Gaza Sumud Flotilla.
This was not just another protest, it was a mission of moral courage. The Sumud Flotilla sailed in the face of military blockade, carrying nothing but humanitarian aid and the conscience of the world. Among those who braved that voyage was a Nigerian, a citizen who embodied the spirit of resistance, empathy, and international solidarity.
If Nigeria can send peacekeepers abroad, we must also protect peace activists who stand up for justice globally. This is not a political issue, it’s a humanitarian and national pride issue.
The world should see that Nigeria does not abandon her citizens who act on the right side of history. Abike Dabiri and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must use every diplomatic and consular channel to ensure this activist’s welfare, safety, and recognition as a symbol of Nigerian conscience abroad.
Let it be known that in a time of global silence, a Nigerian voice spoke, and Nigeria stood behind it.
Tinubu, Minister Tuggar, Ambassador Bianca, and Abike Dabiri must urgently call on the Israeli Ambassador, Michael Freeman, to guarantee the safety of Okey Nnorom while he remains in IDF custody.
Nigeria should also demand his immediate and unconditional release, just as other nations like Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have successfully done for their detained citizens.
Okey Nnorom stood for humanity; now humanity must stand for him.
Broveens42: Not true... It's only unlearned minds that become aggressive when you ask for accountability. Acquiring degrees doesn't necessarily mean you are learned in mind.
You can never see politicians like Rochas okorocha shouting at journalist when the most difficult of questions are thrown at him. He must find a way of navigating such questions by way of rhetorics, idioms, parables, comparative analysis etc, and even the likes of Hope Uzodinma; these are people we claim didn't go to school ooh
But what's the issue in shying away from accountability? Besides the money used for the contract isn't his personal funds

His message serves as a heartfelt reminder to appreciate the hard work and resilience of teachers everywhere — those who, against all odds, continue to build the foundation for a brighter and more inclusive future.
If you don't take good care of the builders, the building won't be beautiful
