I told you Barcelona will shock Newcastle

Newcastle's performance in the first half was commendable but in the second half, they made too many mistakes...
Who do you predict will win the champion league ?

shox:
anything wey comot from the case. I know no one will buy anything from that boy again. He can open threads make e teach page 90

A lot of us will still buy from both parties. They're both sellers, they'll settle at the end. But if anyone of them has something that interest buyers, we will buy💯

Anyone laughing at Chelsea no sabi football.

Abi na you no sabi football 😅

spencekat:

Please learn from my experience.

On tuesday 10th of this month, I woke and prepared for work as usual and because my workplace is on the island, i wake up as early as 5am and go to work. So on this sad tuesday, I got to the bus stop, a private car stopped and there were 4 guys inside (driver, passenger seat, 2 at the back seat) then i joined them to be 3 at the back seat and i was by the window side.

As the car moved on, suddenly the man in the middle just jump on me and the other guy held my hand, as i was struggling, i heard "we go shoot you oo", so i calm down. Then it dawn on me that i have entered one chance. They were slapped me several times and collected my phone, i gave them my opay password and phone password. They also took all the cash on me except for 200 naira that was deep deep in my pocket.

So they brought my phone to my face to do face verification as OPAY security requires and i did it. They also asked for my laptop and i told them that i am a security man ( ), i had 15600 in my opay. They also asked for my ATM, i told them i dont use an ATM (this is true).

Then they told me to close my eyes and they poured plenty rob on my eyes then push me out of the car. I struggled to open my eyes until one Aboki guy helped me water then i could be able see.

So i jejely use the 200 in my pocket and went home. I had to use my neighbour phone to call opay and gtb to block my account.

That same day, i went to retrieve my line at mtn office at ikoyi but now, i am so phoneless and the trauma is really taking a toll on me.

Also, i had to log in to my opay through my brothers phone and i realised that they did not take my money but instead borrow a loan of 140k. So in total, it was 156500 (16500 + 140000) then i went to check the transfer history to see that they borrowed a loan. So when i noticed this, i had to message easemoni customer service and explained to them, they were so helpful. I transferred the loan amount to their account and my loan was cleared.



This is a true life story and it definitely happened to me

Haa, our clearance thread member. Thank God for saving you ooo. May those evil people meet their waterloo soonest.

The only sensible post so far ...
Who among Una for enter police station for this matter ? 😔 Make we dey talk wetin dey real jor

I no go abandon person for police case. If na me, I go go with lawyer. No be everybody dey irresponsible.

Qhalifah:
I could have just left my customer also to face it when he called me also

Na Man you be💯

Calibrator:
How will the buyer get compensated for his troubles closing the police case which he knows nothing about is the next course of action.

This is good. @letloveheal2 should compensate with a very good percentage of what Qhalifah spent, if not 100% sef. If Qhalifah decides to be pragmatic (since @letloveheal2 has refused dialogue), he can sue @letloveheal2 provided he has receipts of all the payments he made and he'll get 100% refund and damages inclusive.

LetLoveHeal2:
Based on everything you’ve stated, I rarely deal in Nigerian-used items especially phones except when the deal is from a trusted and reliable source. This has been my practice since inception. However, this issue is only being raised now without properly informing me of the full details earlier.

You are also aware that we have successfully completed several transactions together without any problems. Regarding the phone you mentioned as having police issues, it was not directly sold by me I only acted as an intermediary. In fact I did not physically see the phone. I was contacted about the sale and I reached out to you, and upon your interest, I informed the engineer (the seller), who waybilled the phone to you. A dispatcher then picked it up and delivered it to you and I was given commission for selling it.

You mentioned that I blocked you, which is surprising,Let me clearly state that I do not sell STOLEN PHONES or GADGETS Most of the items I post online are imported from trusted vendors outside the country which you’re aware.

As for the Oppo phone in question, I have also tried contacting the engineer/seller who reached out to me about the deal but his number is currently unreachable which I informed you of this as well when you notified me. I’m equally trying to understand what may have happened…

I want to emphasize that I have never been involved in any criminal activity or had any police case, either online or offline.

You didn't handle any of it well and with what people have said, you already know that by now. Reach out to Qhalifah and compensate him. Don't be irresponsible in your dealings. How can you abandon someone you put in such situation ? If na worse case, you go just relocate be that. Make una dey fear God ooo

My Experience After Relying on a Pastor’s Promise During a Difficult Time - How Broken Trust Affected My Health, Finances & Peace of Mind


(I have kept records of my communications and interactions regarding this matter)

I am sharing this anonymously because I have carried this pain alone for too long, and it has affected my health, finances, and emotional stability.

I come from a very difficult family background. For many years, I experienced emotional abuse, constant frustration, and lack of support from my parents and siblings. While my father was alive, he repeatedly told me that he would make sure I was frustrated in life, that I would be useless, and that I would be born to regret. Even when I did the right thing, I was still abused. Living in that environment became unbearable, and I eventually left in order to preserve my sanity and try to build a life for myself.

After leaving my parents' house, I struggled to secure stable housing and rebuild my life under difficult financial and emotional conditions. In 2025, I was living in a room-and-parlor apartment with another person. We paid the rent, agreement, and agent fees 50/50. Before the rent expired, serious conflict arose between us. Her elder sister threw my belongings out without notice. My belongings remained in an uncompleted building for three days, and I became completely stranded.

In my desperation, I went to a large Pentecostal church (a well-known church, name withheld) seeking guidance and was directed to a pastor. I did not approach him on my own. He prayed with me and told me, "God has stepped into the matter." He asked me to confirm the cost of renting a new place and promised that he would pay the full rent, including agreement and agent fees. I did not ask him for financial assistance. I only needed somewhere to stay temporarily and planned to be paying ₦5,000 monthly until I could fully sort myself out. The promise was entirely his initiative.

Because of this assurance, I relied on his words. If not for that promise, I would have immediately pursued police action against the people who threw my belongings out, recovered part of my money, added what I had, and borrowed a small amount from my bank to rent a house. Instead, I waited, trusting his promise.

During this period, I stayed in an open place and was exposed to cold. My health began to suffer. When I later met the pastor in the area and asked about the promise, explaining that cold was seriously affecting me, he said:

"You are the one who said you want to leave your parents' house because they were frustrating you. You have to bear it."

He also said:

"There are many people I have promised. I am settling them little by little."

If he already had many unfulfilled promises to others, why did he make another expensive promise to me with such confidence, as if the money was already available?

He also told me that I had 'stopped calling him,' which I found confusing - was I expected to call him constantly while waiting for him to fulfill his promise?

As time passed, he began ignoring my calls. During a phone conversation, when it was clear that I was desperate to secure accommodation, he told me:

"Don't go into prostitution to get money to rent a house."

This statement shocked and deeply humiliated me. I had never suggested or implied anything like that.

When I later shared this experience with a church member, she initially acknowledged that the pastor's actions were wrong. However, she then began offering explanations and justifications - including suggesting that the pastor made the statement to "prevent me from prostitution," and that he could not explain himself to me because doing so would be "bringing himself down to my level." This response deeply troubled me. It reflected a mindset where a pastor's status is prioritized over the dignity, pain, and wellbeing of a vulnerable person seeking help.

Eventually, because the delay became unbearable, I went to the police regarding the people who threw my belongings out and recovered part of my money (I could have recovered more if I had not relied on the pastor's promise). I informed the pastor that I now had more than half of the rent and asked him to assist with the remaining amount so I could finally rent a place. He still did nothing.

Around this time, someone invited me to a church where I was told:

"You should forgive people who have offended you and let go for your way to be open. How do you expect your way to be open when you are harboring many people in your heart?"

This made me realize how much emotional pain I had been carrying. The prolonged waiting, broken promise, and silence were destroying me. I formally reported the pastor to the church headquarters after more than four months of ignored calls and messages, I also went to his office, he said he has nothing to tell me.

I did not report him because I wanted money. I reported him because of the broken promise and the emotional harm caused by months of silence. The threats came only after I made the report, and I later reported those threats too.

After I reported him, his behavior reportedly changed. He told me that I would d*e within a short time. He warned that "this trend you are embarking on will land you in a place you least expect." He said, "Don't let me see you, you won't find it funny." He later called me a thief, saying I wanted to reap where I did not sow, and told me that my life is "messed up."

From that point on, my health and emotional wellbeing deteriorated. I fell sick frequently, spent money on medications, struggled to concentrate on my business, and lost income. Eventually, I had to borrow money to rent a house on my own, which I am still going to pay back. The consequences of relying on his promise continue to affect my life in several areas (emotionally, my spirit is shattered. I can no longer concentrate or run my business properly).

I reported this matter to the church headquarters multiple times via email. I first reported this in August 2025 and sent multiple follow-up emails with no acknowledgment. After five months of complete silence, I reported again in January 2026 because the pastor's broken promise was destroying my health, finances, and emotional wellbeing. Only then did they acknowledge my complaint, apologizing for the "prolonged silence" and promising "urgent attention." However, they have since gone silent again for another month despite these assurances.

The church's repeated silence, despite multiple complaints and promises to investigate, has left me with no choice but to share this publicly. Private accountability channels have completely failed.

I am sharing this not to attack any church, but to speak about how broken promises, silence, and threatening words from someone in authority can deeply damage a vulnerable person's life.

No one should have to carry this kind of burden alone.

I am honestly asking:

• Is it right for a pastor to make strong promises to someone in distress and then disappear?
• Is it right to stop someone from going to the police and then abandon them?
• Is it okay to scare someone after they speak up?
• When does spiritual authority become harmful to a person's mental and emotional wellbeing?

Attached are supporting screenshots for transparency. Including email correspondence with church headquarters showing months of no response, and messages showing threatening behavior. Personal details have been hidden for privacy.

I am posting this anonymously for my safety, but I am open to support or advice. If you wish to reach out, please contact me via this email: voiceunheardstories@gmail.com

This is my personal experience and understanding of events as they occurred.

Hello Op, it's sad what you've had to go through, and in all fairness, it's painful to be let down. I like that you're picking up and trying to sort yourself even after what has happened, that's commendable. Now, have a positive mindset, and often declare positive affirmations.
YOU'RE NOT CURSED. You're a lady going through a rough part, but all will be well.
The way you thought best to handle the pastor's disappointment is debatable, still, it's how you thought best to handle it. From your write up you didn't do it from a place of hate but of speaking out. That he responded with those words were wrong of him.
For me, you don't have to follow it up anymore. Yes, you were let down but from a heart of forgiveness, let it go, Jesus gat you.
Know that these times shall pass, keep on trying to sort yourself out. God is rooting for you. Study His word, speak positivity to yourself and in true forgiveness you don't have to push cases on. Cast all your cares on God. He's there for you.
YOU'RE A CHILD OF JESUS, YOU'RE LOVED, YOU'RE NOT CURSED.

That man used to be just a student going through life, but now, he has become a success in his field.

Good day everyone.

Recently I got a call from a female neighbor of mine, telling me I should rush home. And I was like--"what's wrong?". But before I could ask,she had already ended the call. That was how the conversation between me and my two bottles of Heineken at madam-Baddo's bush bar was cut short

I hurriedly boarded an okada and got home. To my greatest surprise,I saw a huge crowd gathered at the front of my compound. That was when I was told it was another neighbor,a guy in his early 30's who wanted to commit suicide . And since most of the neighbors around were all women,so they thought it'd be nice to call all the male neighbor to come and break into his apartment because he had already locked his door before he wanted to do the act.

Well,as the gentleman I'm,I went to his window and saw the young man sitting on the floor of his kitchen, holding a knife and had already cut his hands. On the inside of me,I knew I wasn't the right therapist to talk to someone who's got suicidal thoughts on him out of it,but I just have to at least try my best to . I spoke to him,and gave him some words of encouragement and motivation,and even used myself as an example. After all,he was around and a living witness of how I managed to survived my own predicaments, ranging from failed business transactions and failed relationships sagas. But how I managed to survived all of them still remains a mystery to me,up till this moment.

Finally,I was able to convince him,and he came out. While everyone was hailing and singing my praises,I was wondering what coulda brought such thoughts upon a Young Man in the first place? Seriously I didn't care to ask what was the reason behind it,but I know for sure that no matter how and what it may be,it wasn't worth it.

Yesterday,he came to me to show appreciation . At least,for once,I felt relieved knowing I'm the reason someone's still sipping in air . The dude and his fiancee brought a tuber of yam for me and as I'm typing this, I'm equally waiting for my own fiancee to come back from work and do justice to the yam.


So,My fellow dear Nairalanders,no matter how and what life might had thrown at you, please feel free to talk to someone about it. Don't feel abandoned. Don't give in. The help you seek may just be a second away from you. And finally, suicide should never be an option.

Please let's do justice to this thread.

Thumbs up 👍
This is encouraging

Senate approves electronic transmission of results, permits manual collation as backup
i.e: They can still claim poor network coverage on election day and not transmit results on the iRev portal. So, if after the election, the opposition parties cry foul and the ruling party say "go to court", this is a valid claim they (the ruling party) can still present in court.

They still found a way to tweak the bill

Putinofrussia:
Are you saying that one should be a hypocrite like Mr Obi's supporters who knew and still know that he was a disaster as a governor of Anambra for 8 years but want to package him as a Messiah?

As governor of Anambra State (2006–2014), Peter Obi achieved national recognition for prudent financial management, transforming education and healthcare through public-private partnerships, and heavily investing in infrastructure. Key accolades included being named Most Prudent Governor (2009) and winning the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s best-performing governor on immunization (2012).
Key Achievements and Legacy
Education: Raised Anambra from 26th to 1st in national educational rankings, returned schools to missions, and distributed over 30,000 computers.
Infrastructure & Health: Built over 800km of roads, established the first state-owned teaching hospital, and achieved Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in health.
Finance & Security: Left the state as one of the least indebted in Nigeria with substantial savings, and was recognized for enhancing security, earning accolades from the Inspector General of Police.
Governance: Implemented "Anambra Integrated Development Strategy" (ANIDS), aligning development with MDGs.

From Google Search.

Now tell me how a sane thinking human being would label this governor as a disaster.
And please drop FACTS. Thank you.

Zocalite:
Dss a federal security outfit, is issuing public warning to federal police of nigeria

Now the insurgents would have change tactics

See your life tinubu, everything don dabaru

Dss director yoruba
Police igp yoruba

It will not be well with anyone promoting this tinubu again

If your claim is incompetence that's valid but it shouldn't be a tribal thing.

I hope we won't see a repeat of what happened in Benue, where security forces were present but moved of the way, claiming they got intelligence to go elsewhere.

I like this thread

Hello engineers, my Samsung a52s 5G suddenly stopped responding to screen touches. I have taken it a phone repairer who added a new screen, still, no changes (it's not a screen issue). The phone didn't fall off my hand or anything, it just stopped responding to touches. I have tried force restart, boot to safe mode, but no changes.
I didn't perform any update or anything at all, I was using the phone normally, left it for a while to do other things and that's how it just stopped responding to touches.
Please what can I do ?

RomeoMarvis:
Did you perform any system update or upgraded to a new android version?
If so, then you'll need to downgrade the OS to the previous version

I didn't do any of that. I used the phone that morning and left it idle for about an hour or so, that was when I discovered it wasn't responding to touches anymore.

Oga why you de shake whenever Obi sneeze ? 😂
All these epistles for a man that cannot win election? 😂

Tell them ooo😂
I thought they claimed it was a free and fair election in 2023, why then with all they have take a bold step to transmit results in real time..
Corrupt lots

This country ehn....

Pojomojo:
You’ve just resumed at a brand-new workplace. New clothes, new confidence, fresh notebook, pen still shining. You’re doing that small-small “good morning sir, good morning ma” like a responsible adult who has their life together.

You sit down, pretending to look busy, opening random files on the computer like you know exactly what you’re doing.

Then you hear it.

Not loudly.
Not proudly.
Just casually.

From the corner of the office.

Someone clears their throat and asks, with their full chest and zero shame:

“Please… when will they pay November salary?”

💀💀💀

You freeze.

November

You check your calendar.
It’s FEBRUARY.

Your spirit leaves your body for a quick meeting.

You slowly remove your earpiece, because surely you misheard. Maybe they said “new member salary” or “network salary” or “never mind salary”.

But no.

Another voice replies, tired, broken, experienced:

“Ah… we’re still waiting.”

WAITING

You just resumed TODAY.
You haven’t even been given your email password yet.
You don’t know where the toilet is.
And people are owed NOVEMBER salary

Suddenly, your new job orientation begins internally.

“Ohhh… so this is not a workplace.
This is a support group.”

The chair you’re sitting on?
Debt.

The desk?
Trauma.

The AC?
Decorative.

You start doing quick math in your head like:

“So if November is still pending…
December is loading…
January is buffering…
February is a rumour…”

You quietly pack your bag with respect.

No noise.
No eye contact.
Just vibes.

By lunch break, you’re no longer asking about your role.
You’re asking survival questions like:

“Do they allow remote suffering here?”

By closing time, you’re already emotionally owed three salaries you haven’t earned.

Welcome to the company.
Where the work is plenty, the hope is optional, and November never ends. 😭

Let me tell you my experience...so one time after my waec, I got a job at Mr Biggs in Marina. I resumed on a Monday, everything was going fine and then on the Thursday of that same week, a colleague who I was having a talk with, said that I'll receive my first salary in 3 months time cause he's being owed 2 months salary. I thought it was a joke, I walked up to the manager about it and he (the manager) said "To be honest with you, you won't be paid this month but maybe the next"
I resigned then and there.
Started work on Monday, resigned on Thursday.

It really sad that the US Senate has even had more sessions on killings in Nigeria than Nigeria’s own Senate.

With the level of atrocities, killings, kidnappings perpetrated in Nigeria over these years, a responsible Nigeria Senate and House of Reps ought to have been holding sessions on insecurity in Nigeria almost every day for years now

This is so true

May his soul rest in perfect peace 🕊️

Even though I admire Rosenior's style of play and the never give up mentality he has brought to the team, still, he's likely to concede more goals compared to Arteta. I think with Arsenal's backline, the worst performance Arsenal can get is a draw. Arsenal all the way 💯

What a nation Nigeria has become under the APC led government!!

Winner oh, oh, oh, Winner...Jesus don win

If you're interested in working in the banking sector, you can give it a go.
I think most banks average 120k-150k for entry level roles for outsourcing firms.
No prior experience needed.

Op, just curious, when you say "after 3 months" do you mean that the first salary will be paid after 3 months of work ?
