Kemetian: Lagos is now officially a WORLD CLASS TOURIST AND ENTERTAINMENT DESTINATION.
The iconic Time Out magazine read for generations by millions of western fun-seekers, has now ranked Lagos 6TH in the world in terms of NIGHTLIFE, beating cities like London, New York, Los Angeles, Nairobi, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Paris, and others, including Accra, who came in at a distant 10th.
Vintage94: I kissed and had sex and now I have red bumps on my tongue and my tongue is whitish as well. My penis is paining me and the cap looks different. The painful part is I have been celibate my entire life.
I have done HIV test and it is not HIV. I also did a urine test and they said I had staphylococcus aureus which I treated.
phosky: A pregnant woman has reportedly killed her husband’s suspected mistress by setting her on fire in Kubwa, Abuja. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The incident was shared by a social media user named Biola, who stated that the woman believed the victim was her husband’s side chick, and the woman had visited their home on Christmas Day. The suspect allegedly poured petrol on the victim and set her on fire. The victim was rushed to the National Hospital but sadly died from her injuries.
Biola wrote,
Another netizen, who confirmed the incident, revealed that the victim was buried the following day at Gudu Cemetery in Abuja. He wrote, “I swear this happened on my street. I know both the burner and the burnee. She was buried yesterday at Gudu Cemetery. The heart of man is indeed evil. Over a national issue, you end up killing your fellow woman. I’m glad she got justice because the husband was flaunting the police.”
Many online have condemned the woman’s actions, blaming her for taking such extreme steps.
@CountessViktoria wrote, “I’ve always said, ‘You don’t own anyone.’ If something isn’t working, walk away. Taking a life is a huge no. God, please.”
@sirbez added, “The day you take another human life is the day your own life effectively ends.💯”
@Joan_Afc commented, “And now the husband will get more side chicks. Let her enjoy her new home.”
Edygrin: The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma has appealed to unknown gunmen still hiding in the bush to perpetuate insecurity in some parts of the state to come out and lay down their arms and join society in contributing positively to the progress of the state.
aswani: They are using it to pay accrued debts to improve their credit score (is it called AA something for countries?) so they can have scope to borrow more and maybe the people can see the visibility then.
Blame Bubu and PDP presidents for allowing us to get to this stage.
Nigeria is a country blessed with so many mineral resources. I'm of the opinion that if we look inward and think well, we won't need to borrow.
iLegendd: Most of our men from age 16 to 35 have no business with relationship wisdom. Even if you tell them the truth, they'll go and tell her what you said.
It's not a man's job to fall in love, but to provide protection, but men won't listen.
Stay away from emotional attachment from both women and money and watch how you'll have peace of mind.
A woman operates based on emotions. Whatever you've done for her doesn't matter. In fact, the less you want her, the more she wants the little you have to offer over the might goodies the person who wants her offers.
Society sets men on simp mode by default but it would only take the wise men to break free from such settings...an insecure man with plenty money is a man on a journey to his own misery.
Jega2000: I make roughly 500k-700k on average monthly but I am not really comfortable...
Please cut down on your expenses...kill that urge of wanting to solve all the problems once money enters your account (I've been there before). Most importantly, have a budget and stick to it.
onuman: ISWAP fighters are allowed to flow in from the northern borders of Nigeria while soldiers and police are flooded all over the southeast and southsouth regions to combat and extort unarmed people in the southeast and southsouth regions. They are using Nigeria's government institutions, including the armed forces, as well as Islamic terrorists to fight Jihad for Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. But they will lose. At one point, Nigeria shall disintegrate violently. Those who adopted unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal justice system shall have their Arewa Islamic Republic.
I know as usual, we would all abuse INEC, however no one talks about the gullible Nigerians that would sell their votes for 5k and also the weak Nigerians that won't come out to vote.
Edygrin: The National Assembly, through its joint committee on Industry, Trade and Investment, has declared that Nigeria is fooling itself over border closure in view of cross border banditry taking place in states sharing borders with Niger and the Republic of Chad.
ExAngel007: A Nigerian woman, Amara Venessa has cancelled her wedding.
The traditional wedding was scheduled to be held on January 8, 2025, in Otolo, Nnewi.
In a Facebook post on January 7, 2025, Amara said she called off the wedding due to personal reasons, adding that she “needs love and her own man”
"Anywhere you see me just dash me money cos 2024 showed me shege and pepper with a little bit of ice cream mixed with bitter leaf then medium size of fufu and ora soup but I came out stronger and better," she wrote in a Facebook post on January 7, 2024.
"I was suppose to be married tomorrow but I cancelled it due to some personal reasons. I can't afford anymore situations in my life that bring out the worst in me
“I can't afford bonding with another wrong soul. It's exhausting and requires too much for me to recover from. I need calmness and gentleness in my life. I need love and I need my own man."
gabazin080: I have been married for 10 years and we have 3 wonderful kids. She took a well paying but stressful job recently and her sex drive has reduced drastically. We now have sex like just 4 times in a month.
She doesn't ask and if i ask it is always excuse of fatigue.
She doesn't cheat, i am 100% sure of that. She even told me she wont mind if i find another girl to satisfy my urge.
I am not the type that can cheat too. So I am worried on what could cause this change. Someone told me it could be an infection
Biological changes in a woman's body, however still verify her claims
uche87: I remember in Festac Town (Lagos State), in 2016, when a neighbour claimed he accidentally slept with the new female tenant. "We did it on this chair" he pointed with a grin on his face. "I swear I never expected it. She was crazy and she looked so innocent" he whispered in the ears of whoever cared to listen. Putting this in perspective, the weather temperature was just 22 degrees Celsius. This is the typical weather for two in Nigeria. It normally sends the social media into frenzy, with all manner of romantic memes flying around.
At this point, the telephone lines of some 'hospitality workers' popularly known as 'runs girls' start reading 'number busy' or 'switched off'. This is because the prodigal men with hot waists are on their trail, thereby driving up demand. My neighbour's experience of being gifted the cookie on a platter of gold, is not an isolated one. During the rainy season, harmattan and COVID lockdown, there were so many similar experiences. Acclaimed male best besties who have 'fattened the pigs' easily reaped the fruits of their labour.
The women who failed such tests of cold weather and loneliness in Nigeria are performing woefully in the UK where the conditions are worse. With the weather condition averaging between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius mostly, some women are being smoked out of their houses by increased sexual appetite. Life here is also extremely lonely. People hardly mix, they tend to overwork and forget living their normal lives. Also, many immigrants tend to be buying into the culture of individualism associated with the West.
Everybody suspects strangers. The implication of this is that you could either date online or take the highroad of workplace romance. In my opinion, office romance is like playing the Russian Roulette. Before you know it, someone who has never met you, will know the exact strands of pubic hair you have. This is because people kiss and tell.
In the UK, independent women who are doing well financially and career-wise abound. But society is infested with men who are scared of them. Their fears are very valid though. These men just want to have them for the moment, like an AirBnB. With the chilly weather, loneliness, and unsatisfactory toys, most women tend to let their guards down when they meet interested men. And they end up paying dearly with their mid-sections. After two to three months of dating, the expected marital plan never comes up, and then they abandon these relationships. They hopefully start another which ends the same way. It's a vicious cycle!
Failure could be very demoralising when not well managed. Some ladies get sucked into the unholy system of sexual generosity out of frustration and bad habits. So they see no big deal in warming different beds like a weighted blanket.
I sampled the opinions of some single men about what the dating market looks like currently. The story is still the same. The women are just too vulnerable and their sexual appetite is on a record high. This is why some freak out or redact information whenever the issue of body count comes up. Single women in their 30s are throwing caution to the wind in a bid to find phantom happiness.
In recent times, most of these women have been falling back on their suitors back home in Nigeria for marriage. The same ones they once despised during their early days abroad. They offer them the golden 'Japa Ticket' and a promise of a better life which the men can't resist. These men see this golden opportunity as a sign of 'grace'. The men can't resist those glossy pictures in highbrow locations. They are blind to what is behind those photos, even with their glasses on. Also, the Tinubu administration which has pauperised Nigeria, makes the decision to 'escape' so easy for targeted men.
But the truth is that these women are only applying the basic principles of business to their lives. When your product is not valuable locally, export it to another country where it is scarce and experience a boom in turnover.
