So it's either they become something straight from prison or they hawk and become politicians.

Anyway, being a hawker and becoming a governor should define him into a good leader but it doesn't seem so because he's more of a talkative than someone with a struggling background.

‎A lady has stirred buzz online after rejecting a ‘talking stage’ with a man despite 1 million Naira business support.

‎This was shared by a user on the microblogging platform X, (formerly Twitter).

According to the X user @olakunle_omoba, the man identified as a TikTok user sent the lady, Lisha, 400,000 naira to obtain her number.

Aftermath, he supported her business with a donation of 1 million naira.

‎In the now-viral tweet, it was revealed that he sent an estimated amount of  3 million naira to the lady, yet she still refused to be in a ‘talking stage’.

Meanwhile, the man’s sister has started calling out the lady on TikTok, while the tweet has garnered over 400,000 views and the comment section is flooded with reactions from X users.

Tweet Below….

‎A guy on TikTok sent a girl named Lisha ₦400,000 just to get her phone number. Later, he sent ₦1 million to support her business. Despite all this, she never agreed to even enter the talking stage with him.

‎Altogether, the money he sent her was over ₦3 million. After everything, she still made it clear that she wasn’t interested in any relationship. Now the guy’s sister has started calling her out on TikTok. Who is really at fault here?.

Exactly, your last line is key.

Solitude is a good thing, people just need to find purpose at each stage of life before it's over. I know many old folks with no family but with their days loaded with all sorts of activities at private and group levels.

You've made a point there. Appreciated

Why Captain Ibrahim Traoré Is Playing with Fire by Detaining Nigerian Soldiers
Many people underestimate the capabilities of the Nigerian military and what it could mean for the government of Burkina Faso under Captain Ibrahim Traoré.

Don't be misled by Nigeria's ongoing internal security challenges—fighting Fulani herdsmen clashes, kidnappers, bandits, and jihadist insurgents in the North, or separatist agitation in the East involving IPOB and unknown gunmen. These are asymmetric insurgencies, complicated by local sympathies and complex socio-political dynamics that make total eradication difficult without massive collateral impact. No advanced military in the world easily wins such protracted internal wars.

In stark contrast, a direct confrontation with Burkina Faso would be conventional (symmetric) warfare. The Nigerian Armed Forces—Africa's largest by personnel, with superior airpower, logistics, and combat experience—have the overwhelming potential to overrun Burkina Faso's smaller military and, if provoked far enough, enforce regime change in Ouagadougou.

Dismiss any notion that Russia's support for Traoré would deter this. Nigeria could establish theater commands in neighboring countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo for a multi-front operation, leveraging regional alliances and superior resources.

This detention risks escalating a diplomatic incident into something far more dangerous. Traoré's supporters—often vocal online pan-Africanists and certain political factions—may cheer the bravado now, but they would have plenty to lament if things spiral out of control.

As an African looking to relocate within Africa…
Which country do you believe offers the best mix of stability, security, ease of doing business, and a beautiful life?

Rwanda and Mauritius are currently at the top of my list…
But I want to hear from people with real experiences.
Where would you choose, and why?

Kalatium:
There’s a man in my neighborhood whose story has stayed with me.

Years ago, his home was a hub of life. Teenagers everywhere. Music blasting. Laughter spilling into the street. Young boys full of promise, respect, and energy. A mother holding the center. A family in motion.

Fast forward to today and the house is silent.

One son is gone. Another has relocated. The wife and daughters have moved on. What remains is a man sitting alone behind a gate, cooking for himself, washing his own clothes, watching the days pass without the noise that once defined his life.

This is a reality we rarely discuss.

We talk about career growth. We talk about wealth. We talk about legacy.

But we almost never talk about male loneliness in old age.

For many men, life slowly narrows: Children grow up. Homes empty out. Visits reduce. Attention fades.

Mothers are remembered, celebrated, visited with gifts and affection. Fathers, too often, are left behind quietly enduring, saying little, asking for nothing, but feeling everything.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness.

Sons: Your father may not say much. He may act distant or grumpy. But he wants connection too. He wants to feel seen.

Daughters: Celebrate your fathers, not just on special days, but in ordinary moments. Presence matters more than presents.

Fathers: Be kind to your wives. Be warm with your children. Emotional deposits made today compound in old age.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: No promotion, no achievement, no title prepares a man for an empty house.

Old age doesn’t arrive suddenly, it creeps in quietly.

And how we love, show up, and stay connected today determines whether later years feel full… or painfully hollow.

This is not just a family issue. It’s a societal one.

Let’s do better while there’s still time.

AlphaBoy:
Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.

There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.

But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.

One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”

If I ghost her small, na she go enter my DM first like, “You no wan talk to me again?”
And one day she directly asked me: “Why are you running from me?”

Make una no forget — I liked her initially but didn't want to push it yet , I don’t know if she’s catching feelings.

So nairalanders, make una talk true:
This girl like me abi she just dey whine me?
Or na me dey overthink am?
