Growing up, I've heared so many stories about Mami-water(mermaid) and some seem convincing though but I still have my doubts. For those wandering what a Mami-water(mermaid) is, they are sea creatures, with tail instead of legs and a human body. Some believe these creatures possess some supernatural power to make someone rich, some believe they could give someone fame, some believe they are spirits that only come out at night time while some believe they are peaceful and the most beautiful sea creatures(the list is endless).. Infact some persons actually call beautiful girls Mami-water(mermaid) some even admire beautiful girls saying, you're more beautiful than a mami-water(mermaid).. My question now is, do this creature's actually exist? Or is it just another myth? What story have you heared about them? The first four pictures below are acclaimed pictures of real life mermaids..

CoronaVirusPro: Never a time as it been forecasted that humans could one day accuse His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) of being dangerous, even when in the entire political space of Nigeria, there is practically none like him.
How can a man who stood in the forefront of the struggle for democracy, change the economic course of his own state, and who is currently salvaging and steering Nigeria to greater heights become dangerous?
We all need to start appreciating Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and rendering all the support he requires to win.
Even American citizens that elected a dunce as president don’t condemn their president like this, and we are so quick to condemn that visionary leader which God has blessed us with.
Bro I had a girlfriend like that too, her name is Joy. Abi na she?

Glimpsetv: Nigerian Patient Tries to Woo Indian Nurse.
A video has surfaced online showing a sick Nigerian man trying to get the attention of an Indian nurse treating him, sparking mixed reactions.
In the video, the man is heard repeatedly boasting about how well-endowed Africans are, while the calm nurse responds, saying she doesn’t like Africans. The man then tells the nurse that Indians are not good. In response, the nurse points out that an Indian is the one treating him, to which he replies that Indians are good at treating illnesses but not in bed. He goes on to say that while Indians have two legs, Africans have three, even inviting the nurse to visit him at night so he could prove what Africans are made of.
This interaction has sparked diverse opinions—some believe the man should have focused on recovering from his illness rather than attempting to woo the nurse treating him.

Nigeria getting islamized small small by fulani and their jihad
Lukgaf: Shariah Law in Southwestern Nigeria: Clearing the Misconceptions and call for tolerance and coexistence
The recent opposition to the establishment of Shariah courts in southwestern Nigeria—particularly in Oyo, Ekiti, and Ogun States—is yet another example of non-Muslim resistance to Islamic rights and practices.
This is not new. We have seen the same pattern before:
1. When Muslim students wanted to wear hijab in schools, they faced fierce opposition, even though it did not affect non-Muslims. Alhamdulillah, the Supreme Court has upheld their right to do so. 2. When Islamic banks like Jaiz were introduced, they were met with criticism. But today, many non-Muslims are customers of non-interest banking. 3. When Sukuk bonds (a Shariah-compliant financial instrument) were introduced, there was an outcry. Today, the Nigerian government and businesses rely on them for infrastructure funding.
Yet, after all the noise, many of these same critics eventually embrace what they once condemned.
This raises important questions:
- Why do non-Muslims feel so threatened by practices that are exclusively for Muslims and do not affect them?
- Why is there such an obsession with opposing Islamic initiatives when they are not compulsory for non-Muslims?
- Why is it difficult to allow Muslims the freedom to practice their faith in a way that aligns with their beliefs?
Shariah courts are not mandatory for non-Muslims. They are a constitutional right for Muslims who prefer to handle personal affairs like marriage, divorce, and inheritance through Islamic law. As highlighted by Barrister Muideen Olagunju, the only type of Shariah applicable in the Southwest is Muslim Personal Law, covering: marriage and marital issue such as divorce, inheritance and maintenance.
Currently, while Islamic marriage is recognized by law, Muslims who want to divorce must go through customary courts, where the judges may not even be Muslims. Similarly, if a Muslim dies and the family goes to court, the property must be shared according to Yoruba customary law (e.g., Idi Igi or Ori Ojori), instead of the Islamic inheritance system, which ensures fair distribution beyond just wives and children.
The unfairness here is not the establishment of Shariah courts, but the denial of a legal system that allows Muslims to practice their religion fully.
What Shariah Law is NOT Shariah courts in the Southwest will NOT impose Islamic law on non-Muslims. Shariah courts will NOT replace the existing legal system.
Non-Muslims are NOT affected in any way.
Just as Christians are not forced to use Shariah courts, Muslims should also not be forced to use customary courts that do not align with their religious beliefs. Is that not fair?
Many developed countries where Muslims are a minority allow Islamic arbitration for Muslims. Yet, in Nigeria—a country where Muslims are at least 50% of the population—why is it a problem when Muslims request their rights?
It is time to let go of baseless fear and unnecessary opposition. Just as Christians have their rights, Muslims also have theirs, and neither should interfere with the other. Live and let live.
The reality is, just like the hijab case, if this opposition continues, it will eventually go to the Supreme Court, which will affirm the right of Muslims to have Shariah courts. So why create unnecessary conflict when peaceful engagement can resolve the issue?
Let us respect each other’s beliefs and allow all citizens to exercise their constitutional rights.
May Allah guide us all to truth and justice. Ameen.

So you are advising me that it's easier to get work visa permit stay and jobs in these two countries. Thanks a lot, I'll try to push for both. I hope they are English speaking countries too
ViralGerald: Yeah you could do that, if the plan is moving out of Greece. What I am not sure of is the chances of getting any kind of job here both unskilled and skilled. My advice is check for the easiest countries that can issue you a Schengen visa…that country is Bulgaria and Romania..
Would you advise I move over to Greece from Nigeria, work a little bit and then move to a better Schengen country. €800 minimum wage for unskilled is not bad. But do you know if Greeks are racist to giving Africans jobs Although I have been trying to get telecoms jobs from Nigeria which is my field and I know I need to leave Nigeria to start from somewhere.
Can I chat you up privately pls. Below is my contact Zero eight one three six two four two six one three
ViralGerald: The minimum wage here is around 800 euros per month. I’ve seen adverts for unskilled labor positions in public spaces and on Facebook, including jobs in farming. However, I haven’t seen any Black people working in public places like in Holland. I’ve walked at least 10 kilometers since yesterday, and I haven’t come across any. So, yeah!
But apart from the homeless people in Greece which might be laziness of the locals, are you saying there a no jobs both skilled and unskilled.
ViralGerald: Chinese restaurant in Syntagma Square, Athens Greece 🇬🇷 A plate of fried rice and vegetable with Heineken beer 330ML. Price: 15 Euros Greece is expensive and at the same time broke 🤣
Years ago I did my nysc over there in Niger state, you will be surprised how many of the little girls mates wants to have sex. I saw things, we peeped kids doing things with adults. Myself and my colleagues were shocked with what we saw. Na their ways, the kid is not completely innocent, just investigate properly
Asianplug: Many Nigerians may not be aware that there are several countries in Europe, South America and even here in Africa that desperately want people to the extent of paying them to relocate. Oyibo people are not giving birth enough to grow their population or even maintain existing ones. Gay rights, selfishness of not wanting to cater for anyone, and avoiding anything that will spoil their figures are some of the reasons why their population is falling.
Instead of risking life through the desert and Mediterranean Sea or going to some other countries that don’t want you, why not consider these great options?
The regions and countries include Greece, Switzerland and Japan among others in the list. Information is power and this could be the heads up you need to start 2025 in an excellent way
I just got a job offer in Luxembourg with a 2-year renewable contract and a monthly salary of about €2,200. I’ve heard that the cost of living, especially housing, is quite high in Luxembourg, and I’m trying to figure out if this salary is enough to live comfortably.
Anyone with experience living or working in Luxembourg, I’d appreciate your advice on:
Housing costs (rent, utilities, etc.) General expenses (food, transport, healthcare, etc.) Whether €2,200 is sustainable for a normal lifestyle. Thanks in advance for your insights!
So I got a job in Saudi Arabia as a heavy duty equipment electrician 2years contract but renewable but am very scared to make the move cox of the fear of the unknown...
Firstly I work with a reputable company here in Nigeria in the maritime sector as a FTE and I get approximately 400k monthly and I am being offered a salary of 3500sr(1.3m) for the Saudi Arabia job. I will only visit my country once in a year, am not married and am 33, n pressure of marriage dey my neck.
Though accomodation and flight expenses will be catered for by the company but I don't know if it's really worth taking the move though I don't know the cost of living in saudi Arabia.... I don't know if you have a saudi Arabia experience.. please I need your inputs...
My parents is always against marrying an osu but that's not Christianity and I don't care if my present gal is osu I'm marrying her.
But if I may ask you, do you select who treats you in the hospital to avoid been treated by an osu or you select the canteens you enter to eat or the schools you attend, c'mon let's grow up pls and kindly change your mindset.
I will keep it short, this is not a thread to bash ladies but to point out an observation.
I started dating a lady last month and everything was going fine until last week when she demanded for money for her christmas hair and clothes. I actually had a lot of bills to settle and also send my mum money for the christmas and I told her I wouldn't be able to give her the money she requested for cos I am also saving for my rent payment which is due early next year.
She got really upset and left my place angrily and since then has refused to call or message me, I decided to reach out to her and she told me the relationship is over . I just responded with ok and I moved on. Despite the short time we have been together I have always spent on her and always assisted her when she needs any form of financial assistance. I can actually afford to give her money for the december but I believe the relationship is still young and I want to be sure the feelings are genuine and not money motivated.
I have also had similar issues with other ladies and I observe they are so money minded , is it a general issue with Nigerian girls or am I just unlucky. I am neither stingy nor broke, I am a banker and I earn well but I am always unlucky with the ladies I meet.
So I want to know do you guys also experience such? Is true love no longer achievable in Nigeria?
N.B ;This is not a thread to bash women, kindly take note.
You see she is getting pressured that her friends within the age range are getting married, pls run away from her. I had similar toxic gal some years back, she want use pregnancy hold me and always going out unnecessarily. If you are not the outting type don't date any girl that likes "we outside" kind of life it's a recipe for disaster and for no reason should she complain about your blood sister buying food stuffs for you abi she dey mad?
Stand your ground now and quarrel with her seriously, let her know she must be under you and abide by your rules.
Before thinking of marriage stay with her in the same room for at least 3 months, then you can decide if she will be a wife for you or not.
Good luck bro
ebijimi7: she's 27 boss one of thr issues we had last week was that she was pressuring me to wife her as quickly as possible then I told her to calm down I have alot to look out for then she got mad,at this point I was provoked and ask her in annoyance that why didn't any of your exes wife you then . Yes boss she's employed i don't want her to give me money ofcourse you know woman they would insult you with that it
Pay no mind to the insults you are getting here for being angry with your dad, you are not a mamas boy, to hell with whoever that is insulting you here. I understand your pain and how you feel pity for your mom but kindly take my advice pls;
Do not make the mistake of reporting your dad, it will not change anything but might scatter your peaceful home. Just clean the room and pls do not report or confront your dad. I have no advice on how to deal with the issue on stopping him because he is a man, just don't confront or report him.
ChizzyBuna: So my parents are in village for christmas. Coming from lagos to visit for xmas I decided to visit our house in town where our family lives. Before going to meet them in village
