I don't understand why so many Nigerians still struggle to get the USA, UK, Canada or Germany citizenship when they can easily work remotely from Nigeria and earn in foreign currency. I have compiled a list of 15 websites to find remote jobs that pay in foreign currency worldwide:

What is your view about this new development in the Nigeria education system?

Much Ado About Peter Gregory Obi by Tony Ademiluyi

Some political analysts described Peter Obi as the third force in 2023 at the height of the Obidient movement. How did he take a hitherto obscure Labour party and make it into a dominant opposition party and even defeating the eventual winner, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos State?

Some of his die-hard supporters alluded to his charisma; others said he had revolutionary ideas which would take Nigeria into the eldorado.

However, I firmly believe that charity believes at home. He came to national prominence in 2006 as the first politician to win gubernatorial elections at the courts and there was much expectation from his supporters to optimally perform.

What really did Peter Obi do as the Anambra State Governor? Despite the huge allocation and decent internally generated revenues at his disposal, he didn’t build more public schools in spite of the fact that public education was at an all time low in the state. While it is true that he embarked on road construction, the roads quickly degraded alluding to the fact that sub standard materials were used for them. Then there was a glaring conflict of interest in his use of public funds as there was a public-private partnership with SAB Miller where his family had some equity in the deal which in decent climes amounts to a criminal offence.

He had an utter disregard for local government administration and only allowed elections there in January 2014 on the eve of his departure from office. Heavy taxes were imposed on small scale traders with some of his alleged anti-people policies.

Civil servants and pensioners suffered as there were allegations of unpaid salaries and pensions which was said to exacerbate the hunger in the state.

He single-handedly installed his puppet, Willie Obiano as his successor simply because he was an Executive Director in Fidelity Bank – a bank in which he had substantial interest in. He allegedly tried to play the role of a political godfather which led to a public falling out.

In an investigative journalistic report by Premium Times, he was involved in the infamous Pandora Papers which he denied any involvement though the evidence against him was extremely damning.

I question his leadership credentials as he is yet to raise worthy successors after more than two decades in politics. How many of his minions have risen to the acme in their political careers? It is still about him since 2003 – how tragic as he has no defined political structure.

Is he really a man of his word? He swore to the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu that he will never leave the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). He not only left APGA, but went on to move to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and now the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Why can’t he stay in one party and build it from scratch rather than being a political LovePeddler? The so called obidient movement that he hurriedly cobbled together has since crumbled since his cowardly defection to the ADC. He even said recently that he isn’t even sure of getting the ADC ticket. What then happens if the ticket eludes him? Will he defect again? His knowledge on national and global issues like climate change, global finance, terrorism, diplomacy is extremely shallow a pointer to his not being a team builder who could give him advice. He is nothing short of a rabble rouser who appeals to emotions rather than reason. Why couldn’t his public support for the ADC translate into electoral victory in his native Anambra State in the last elections?

I hate to be the bearer of unsavoury news – Obi is nothing short of a well packaged scam who will completely expire in 2027.

Over to you time!

The person who can't pay loan companies over 5k, 15k debt can definitely NOT afford a lawyer.

Take that too into consideration and honourably pay your debts.

Should there be any reason for loan companies to start dragging you online because you owe them 5k or 15k. Some of them even go as far as tagging you as a ritualists, kidnapper and calling or sending texts to all your contacts.

I don't think the OP is even addressing the issue of online loan sharks here, it is all about a person borrowing another person money...

eteebanky1:
So, why was an NYSC official arrested? Doesn't correlate

Na NYSC official tell her to have sex without protection? The story doesn't add up.

Half bake journalism.

In the latest development, Olalekan, who serves as the Local Government Inspector (LGI) for Abeokuta South, is alleged to have had a personal relationship with Ariyo, which reportedly resulted in the pregnancy. The circumstances surrounding the termination and subsequent complications are now central to the ongoing investigation.

Police sources confirmed that the official is currently being held at the state command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, as investigations continue.


Don't you think this is just a case of "half baked reading and comprehension"?

Now, go down on your knees and apologise to the OP.

Case settled.

This is a good development. We hope the men with gun don't just have their way by pulling the trigger when they notice their corrupt act is being recorded in camera...after all, a dead man can't challenge them with any claim in court after the evidence must have been destroyed.

If only David Umahi had sued the woman who recently dragged him online for owing her hundreds of millions...the woman could have been a scapegoat by now. I personally don't like dragging people/customers online because when we were making the deal we didn't come online to post it and we shouldn't choose to settle it online too if it goes the other way.

Also, another thing we can learn from this as business owners is that if you drag your rich/powerful/influential customers online today, you can easily get your money back from the person but you are indirectly passing a message to other prospective clients that you are not a reliable person to deal with but a lousy and intolerant person.

Now that the president is being celebrated and hosted by the King, this still comes to mind

Akungitit:
They say their not Nigerians but they protesting against a Nigerian president, does that make sense?
Abeg leave Nigerian matter for Nigerians.

That's exactly my point. Majority of those who are against this present government are not even in this country. They don't know what is really happening at all. They only decide to read what they choose to read and conclude based on what they have read. Let me leave them with this, because I know they will get to read it:

"He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, shun him, he is a fool."

"He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, teach him, he is ready to learn."

"He who knows and knows not that he knows, wake him, he is asleep."

"He who knows and knows that he knows, follow him, he is wise."

The court made a simple point, where there is no agreement, the court can not invent one for the parties.

Well noted. Thanks for the clarification.

Ignorance! You don't even know why the landlord lost the case in the story.

Why did he lose the case? Enlighten me, I want to learn.

UnlimitedNG:
Threads like this should be moved to the front page so that people can learn not to fall a victim. You have done well @OP for bringing this down here.

You are right. I guess it is because it is in the wrong section. Most topics here don't get to the front page because they are mostly adverts.

@Moderators, please push to the front page so that many people can benefit from this.

OkanlawonB:
Though sounds like a made up story , but such situation may occur. The judgement is a miscarriage of justice, there is a written tenancy aggrement or not , a tennant should not make any major alteration to a rented property without seeking the approval of the landlord.

When has the installation of solar panel become a major alteration to a rented property? Real or not real story, I think the message is clear. I believe stories like this can happen for real, they are here so that we can learn and not be the victim. I live in a house where almost all the tenants have solar panel installed and there is no problem at all because the installations are well structured. The landlord started it and we all embraced the idea, so he has no reason at all to complain. Solar energy is now becoming a reality in Nigeria, even our Aso Rock is presently fully powered by Solar. If any landlord is still living in the 18th century and thinks he could disturb any tenant from using solar energy, he should be prepared to face whatever comes out from it. He who has ears, let him hear.

POISON THAT KILLS MEN

Once upon a time a beautiful girl got tired of her marriage life and wanted to murder her spouse.

One morning she ran to her mother and say to her " mother, I am tired of my husband I can no longer support his nonsense. I want to kill him but I am afraid Law of the land will hold me responsible, can you please help me mother?"

The mother answered:

- Yes my daughter I can help you, but, there is a little task attached.

The daughter asked "what task? I am willing and ready to assume any task attached in order to get him out"

OK, said the mother,

1.You will have to make peace with him, so that no one will suspect you when he is dead.

2. You will have to beautify yourself in order to look young and attractive to him

3. You have to take good care of him and be very nice and appreciative to him

4. You have to be patient, loving and less jealous, have more listening ears, be more respectful and obedient

5. Spend your money for him and don’t get angry even when he rto give you money for whatever

6. Don’t raise your voice against but encourage Peace and love so that you will never be suspected when he must have died.

Can you do all of that?

Asked the mother.

Yes i can. She replied

OK, said the mother.

Take this powder and pour a bit in his every day meal, it will slowly kill him.

After 30 days the lady came back to her mother and said.

Mother, I have no intention of killing my husband again. As of now I have grown to love him because he has completely changed, he is now a very sweet husband than I ever imagined.

What can i do to stop the poison from killing him?

Please help me mother.

She pleaded in a sorrowful tone.

The mother answered;

Do not worry my daughter. What I gave you the other day was just Tumeric Powder. It will never kill him.

In reality, you were the poison that was slowly killing your husband with tension and dispassion.

It was when you started loving, honouring and cherishing him that you saw him change to a nice and sweet husband.

Men are not really wicked, but our way of relating with them determines their responses and feelings towards us.

Women if you can only show respect, dedication, love, care and commitment to your husband he will 100% be there for you. ❤️

A photograph taken on September 8, 1967, captures a young Enoch Adejare Adeboye with his bride, Foluke Adenike Adeboye (née Adeyokunnu), on their wedding day. The couple were 25 and 19 years old when they exchanged vows in a civil marriage ceremony, marking the beginning of a lifelong partnership that would later become widely known across Nigeria’s Christian community.

The young man in the photograph would go on to become one of the most influential Pentecostal leaders in Africa, serving as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, while his wife remained a strong pillar beside him through decades of ministry and family life.

Today, the image stands as a quiet reminder of their humble beginnings—long before their names became known around the world.

Your Glory will shine in the Mighty name of Jesus.

UnbiasTruth:
Pa Awolowo, the best president that Nigeria never had. He meant well for Nigeria, he didn't strive or force any of his children to be the next political leader, just as many of our greedy politicians are doing now. He was so devoted and committed into Nigerian politics but that didn't make any of his children a serious political figure today. If the likes of Awolowo, Jakande, Akintola, Azikwe, Macaulay, Amodu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, etc. have the same mindset of our politicians today, it is their sons and daughters that would still be championing and ruling in our political kingdom till date.

Out of over 250 million people in a country, how would you be so irrational and inconsiderate to think that your family is the only one to rule the masses from generation to generation. Haba!

You are right, it has become the norm now to occupy a position and fix your children in the system after you leave. It may be good for most professionals but not for politics.

Did you know that Chief Obafemi Awolowo foresaw the current happenings in Northern Nigeria? Read what he once said:


”In 1959, during the election that was to usher in independence in 1960, I embarked on an elaborate campaign in the North. I was using helicopter to campaign in every nook and corner of the North. The most important aspect of the campaign of the Action Group was free education, life more abundant for the generality of the people etc, etc. Our manifesto was centred on the development of man. We worked so hard that the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, was førced to campaign, a thing he was never used to. My hope at that time was to liberate the North from illiteracy, ignørance and the 'ranka dede' mentality. If I had won the election, I would have put a lot of money educating the North in order to bridge the educational gap between that region and the Western and Eastern Regions. This was because I saw the lack of education as a stumbling block against political enlightenment of the whole region.

“...But I think that the sooner than later the leaders of the North will see the repercuss!on of their self!shness and carelessness in their attitude towards Western education. But the time will not be too late, and if they don’t regret it or blame themselves for lack of foresight, the Northern youth may ask their leaders some questions when they see the rate of development that goes with education in many parts of Southern Nigeria. They may then wonder whether it was in their stars or in the selfishness, carelessness and lack of foresight of their leaders. If I had been given the chance in 1959 or 1979, I would have changed the fortunes of the North as a place that can be compared favourably with the South in terms of educational, social and economic developments.”

Chief Obafemi Awolowo was born on this day (March 6), 1909. He would have been 117 years old today.

If he had not cut corners to get unmerited double promotions, he would still be in the service with his friend IGP Tunji Disu. But now, he must be retired as police and military rules demand.

Not his friend 🚫. Tunji Disu is his senior colleague or elder ✅.

Well done. One of the service providers you recommended up there is my trusted plug with a remarkable service. I give them 💯 quality assurance.

If this is true, that means Simi will be going through a lot right now. She hasn't even found how to calm the recent backlash from her old tweets, now this is another fire blazing high...may God see her true. I think she really needs Adekunle Gold at this trying moment of her life...they can both walk it through. Yes they can!

Tony Elumelu with his friend during his NYSC days in Sokoto, 1985, a fresh graduate without employment yet.

After his NYSC, he was unsure about the next steps but he believed that wherever he finds himself he would always stand out through hard work and resilience.

A few years later, after his Masters, Tony Elumelu saw an application for graduates with a minimum of 2:1 in All States Trust Bank, this aligned with what he wanted for his life, but his 2:2 grade did not make him qualified, still, he applied, because he knew what he wanted in life and was going to work towards it.

He had always admired the banking profession. Tony Elumelu loved that the guys in the profession were always impeccably dressed and wanted to look like them. He then put in the application and said “Even though I do not meet these requirements if you give me the chance, I will prove myself. I got the job and spent every day proving myself and earning my luck in the bank."

I don't know what you're going through now or what you've gone through but you have the power and choice to overcome it. Don't let anything stop you from realizing your dreams. The world needs you.

Today, Tony Elumelu is a source of elevation and inspiration for many in Nigeria and beyond.

This is how a typical Nigerian eats… and how a future diabetic is unknowingly created.

Look closely:

→ Plenty white rice (high GI carbs)

→ Beans (great fiber, but combined with rice = carb overload)

→ Stew swimming in oil and seasoning cubes

→ One egg (just one!) to fight all this sugar? Not enough.

Here’s the bitter truth:

This plate looks “balanced” to the average Nigerian.

But metabolically?

→ Your blood sugar spikes.

→ Your insulin works overtime.

→ Day after day, month after month… insulin resistance creeps in.

→ Until one day, your fasting blood sugar refuses to come down.

It doesn’t happen overnight. It happens quietly, with plates like this, every day.

I’m not saying never eat rice.

I’m saying portion control and plate balance with veggies and protein is survival in this modern food war.

If your grandparents could eat like this and stay healthy(of course they weren’t), it’s because,

✔ They walked more.

✔ They didn’t snack all day.

✔ They weren’t drowning in processed oils and seasoning cubes.

You? You sit 10 hours a day, drive everywhere, snack endlessly, and eat like a village farmer.

Something has to change.

Before your body forces you to change.

Can you easily relate?

Meet Yusuf Bilesanmi, a Nigerian engineer who has won the One to Watch Award at the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation for his creation of "ShiVent", a low-cost, non-electric device ventilator that is efficient in its use of oxygen.

Yusuf Bilesanmi is a 37-year-old Nigerian who came from a humble background. He had his first degree at Lagos State University where he studied Law before he switched paths later to Science and Engineering.

ShiVent is a low-cost, non-electric, and non-invasive ventilator for patients with respiratory difficulties. Explaining how it works, he said, "ShiVent does not require electricity, it is easy to install, non-invasive, and oxygen-efficient, and our belief is that it will help save lives when more expensive or oxygen-intensive technologies can't get to patients.

Well done Yusuf 👏

Moderators of the Health and Career section are not fully active. There are some important threads that they fail to move to front page even after calling their attention to it. Also, monetization of front page contents for the posters is not a bad idea because some people put extra efforts to prepare the contents that they post on each section. I think I have an idea to make the monetization process easier; let the criteria for being a moderator be based on the number of front page worthy post a poster has made. For example, you may say, if you have up to 20 posts that have made front page within a particular period, you would be automatically eligible to become a moderator. Then your moderators could go through some training to know more about the work culture and ethics of the forum. After that, you can put them on weekly or monthly payment with a target of post to make on a daily or periodic basis. This will make posting of contents look more original, professional, competitive and entertaining with different styles and enthusiasm because of the money involved.

Then as for the advertisement which is the soul of the forum. I suggest that there should be some sponsored adverts in form of thread and not just the usual advert banners on top of the thread section. When visiting each page, many people like me just focus on the thread section and read through the lines of each thread without looking up for advert. To be sincere with you, I cant remember the last time I have seen or glanced at any advert here on Nairaland but I am active on the pages everyday. Let the attention of advert be diverted to sponsored posts. The advertiser con choose to write the content and use some images (graphics) as illustration. Advertisers can also consult the moderators for creation of contents of sponsored post. This is another way for moderators to earn money. Let me stop here for now and allow other users to make suggestions. I hope these help.

They want an Igbo IGP so that he can be soft on IPOB terrorists. No way. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is too smart for them.

Exactly what I am thinking too. What does an Igbo IG have to do with the many problems of Igbo people in Nigeria today? If e reach Peter Obi's turn make he make Hausa man or Yoruba man his IG.

All we want is someone who can help solve the problem of insecurity in the country. We need solution, action and effectiveness...Yoruba IG, Igbo or Hausa is political, all we want is a secured nation free from crime, corruption and insurgency.

In those days it used to be pictures don't lie but in this age of 'Hay HI', pictures have started lying, now we no longer know what to believe

You are right, anything can actually happen these days with the effects of "Hay Hi" prompts...you can tweak it to get whatever you want. This may be one of the magical effects of our new reality.
