It's a sad reality...what even breaks my heart more is that a common Nigerian isn't asking the government to do too many things for him or her, just provide security, make the basic necessary things of life cheap and let there be constant electricity.
They increase the minimum wage, the market woman also increases the price of her goods, and the taxi driver increases the cost of transportation, and let's not even talk about the landlord/lady that will also increase the cost of house rent. And so, the circle repeats itself.
Rapmoney: There are some bitter truths that you must realize as a man, and the earlier you acknowledge them, the better it is for you.
1. The only man who wants you to be more successful than him is your father.
2. The only women who love you unconditionally are your mother and grandmother.
3. Whenever you see a random girl on the road or elsewhere, and she gives you greenlight, it is out of need and not attraction.
4. Never make either short-term or long-term plans with any woman that you are not married to. She probably has her plans that you do not know of.
5. The same society that tells you to stay away from romantic affairs when you are broke, will still tell you to abstain from cheating when you achieve financial success.
6. You cannot help the poor if you are one of them. Your circle can quickly sell out where you are heading to.
7. Your decisions are very important. They create the future. You already know where poor ones will lead you to.
8. When you start becoming successful in that struggling environment you grew up in, leave immediately for your own safety. A hungry man has no dignity.
9. When you meet a girl's father for the first time, the first thing he wants to know is what you do for a living. Dey play.
10. Don't accept help from people who want to carry you on their back, but your legs are still on the ground.

newscraft2023: BREAKING: Shehu Sani Picks APC Nomination Forms for Kaduna Central
Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has officially picked up the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for the Kaduna Central Senatorial District seat.
The development signals his formal entry into the race ahead of the forthcoming electoral cycle, as political activities continue to gather momentum within the ruling party.
Sani, a rights activist-turned-politician, previously represented Kaduna Central in the Senate and remains a prominent voice in Nigeria’s political landscape. His decision to secure the APC forms is expected to shape the dynamics of the contest in the district, given his grassroots appeal and political experience.
Party stakeholders and observers say the move could trigger heightened competition among aspirants jostling for the APC ticket in Kaduna Central.
So all this while this man is still swimming in APC...I'm not surprised.
So it's from who then? The opaque nature of NNPCL is one of the major reason we aren't doing well in the oil sector as a nation. Dangote built a refinery but the government can't. Which makes me ask "Is Dangote more powerful than the Government?"

Sirchiboy: It is absolutely dangerous that you, as a legitimate businessman, are living in a Yahoo-infested compound sometimes even more dangerous than it is for the Yahoo boys themselves.
Now listen carefully… you are actually more at risk. Your life and your family are more at risk than theirs.
Why? Because they already know the life they are into fraud, crime, drugs, and all sorts of illegal activities. But you, who is not part of it, can easily be implicated in everything they are doing.
Let me share something with you. I once lived in a Yahoo-infested compound, and one of the main reasons I packed out was because their lifestyle did not align with mine.
After a long day of producing paint, working on POP, and inhaling all sorts of chemicals my job is physically demanding I come back home at night to rest and spend time with my wife.
But that is exactly when they start their own activities: loud music, immoral conversations, shouting, parties everywhere… disturbing the entire compound.
And when you try to confront them, they become aggressive. Many of them are violent, some are touts educated or not, the truth is, most of them lack respect and basic morals. It became a serious problem for me.
Even during the day, you see them openly smoking without care for who is around them. Whether you are comfortable or not does not matter to them.
Now beyond the mental stress and lifestyle clash, let me tell you one of the biggest dangers.
After I moved out of that compound, about four months later, men from the State CID stormed the place. They arrested most of the Yahoo boys there.
But guess what?
Two innocent people were also arrested. One was a trader, the other an engineer into construction both legitimate businessmen. They had nothing to do with fraud.
Yet, they were detained for over two weeks. Even after investigations proved they were clean, the police tagged them as accomplices.
Their “offense”? They lived in the same compound and allegedly failed to report suspicious activities.
Before they could regain their freedom, they had to bail themselves with about ₦200,000.
Imagine suffering for something you know nothing about.
That is the reality.
When trouble comes, it doesn’t ask who is guilty or innocent it hits everyone around. In fact, it can even hit you harder than those involved, because you are not mentally or financially prepared for it like they are.
Now, I’m not saying every Yahoo boy is loud or troublesome. Some are calm you might not even know what they do.
But when you find yourself in a compound heavily dominated by them especially young, hot-headed ones constantly throwing parties and causing chaos it is a serious risk to your safety and peace of mind.
I know some people will come for me in the comments or even my DM I’m used to that. But I don’t care.
I’m saying this for your own good Before you move into any apartment, do a proper background check. Know who your neighbors are. Don’t become a victim of circumstances.

sarkinbauchi: Nigerian mechanics should start developing the necessary skills to servicing and repairing Chinese automobiles such as Avatar, Geely, Dongfeng, Jetour, GAC, Chery etc as these brands are gaining widespread acceptance in Nigeria due to their affordability, advanced features, and increasing popularity on Nigerian roads.
Acquiring this expertise ensures the long-term relevance of their careers, creates new revenue streams through specialized diagnostics, and meets the growing demand for servicing these vehicles.
Key reasons for Nigerian mechanics to learn Chinese car technology include: Rising Market Popularity: Chinese car brands are gaining significant traction in the Nigerian market, offering competitive pricing compared to traditional Japanese or European models such as Toyota, Honda, Mercedes etc.
Technological Advancement: These vehicles feature modern technology, including smart features, advanced infotainment systems, and new engines, which require specialized knowledge of diagnostic tools and computerized systems.
High Demand for Specialized Maintenance: There is a growing need for trained mechanics who can service Chinese brands, providing a competitive edge to those who can repair these cars.
Improved Reliability and Parts Access: Chinese cars are adapting better to local road conditions, and their parts are becoming increasingly accessible.
Future-Proofing Skills: Acquiring knowledge of these systems prepares technicians for the influx of new, technology-driven vehicles entering the local market.
Parts Availability: Contrary to fears of scarcity, Chinese auto companies are increasingly establishing branches and authorized dealerships, making parts more accessible and necessary for skilled repair.
In conclusion, specializing in Chinese vehicles is a strategic career move for Nigerian mechanics, turning potential repair challenges into profitable, long-term employment opportunities and remaining relevant in the Automobile World
Which cars are we producing and exporting as a country? They better learn, after all, an average Nigerian is battling with low self esteem...
No loud rallies. No blocked roads. No chaos. Just calm, organized communication with the people. Now compare that to what we’re used to in Nigeria 🇳🇬…
The difference is clear—but the real question is: Can Nigeria ever get to this level? Watch till the end and tell me what you think Would you prefer Japan’s style or Nigeria’s current system?
...and since we keep hustling backwards, we will never get to this level.
