This arrogant ignorance. You won't learn now. Over sabi carton.
It’s called Benign. Probably his enlargement was caused by cancer.


To all males. From age 40, do routine prostrate scan and PSA. Prostrate grows with age (BHP), and sometimes due to cancer.
TravelRe: Lagos Orders Compulsory Inspection Of E-hailing Vehicles by owagbeba: 9:22pm On Aug 10, 2025
Nigeria has a problem. Why do we often make policies based on selfish gain.

What happened to the yearly inspection at VIO? Is that not enough inspection to know if a vehicle is road worthy?

If the interior of a hailed ride is dirty, it is upto the customer to cancel the ride.. simple.

Why do we like to duplicate efforts and policies.

What is wrong with us?

I am tired.

Same duplication of efforts in all sectors:
Customs has releasing officer, CIU. Strike force,FOU, Valuation, Marine police, Compliance all chasing after one container.. Haba!!!

Police , VIO, FRSC all on the same road chasing motorists, but they all turn a blind eye to danfo.

BusinessRe: Importers, Brokers Protest As Customs Hikes Clearing Fees Again ( Photos/video) by owagbeba: 8:47pm On Aug 09, 2025
Glimpsetv:
Summary:

Importers and freight brokers in Nigeria are protesting a new 4% Customs levy, warning it will raise clearing costs, worsen inflation, and hurt trade. The sudden fee hike has sparked outrage and calls for the policy to be suspended.
I think you forgot the mention the new unit setup to replicate the work of Examining officer and Releasing officer; called the compliance unit.

There are just too many units to deal with when freight forwarding or clearing a shipment: You have the releasing officer whose primary task to assess shipment declaration, duty paid, and confirm cargo through the examining officer. Despite this, there are other units whose task replicate these two previously mentioned. The CIU, Valuation, enforcement, Gate and compliance, not forgetting FOU on the roads.
Each of these units wants a pound of flesh.

Compliance units appears to be the recent one. They often leave a comment on the single window declaration, requesting to be invited for the container examination. After you are done settling and processing through the releasing officer, you have to repeat the same process at compliance unit.

The issue of network. Why is it that these offices barely have a functioning network? Most atimes one often hears from these officers.” No network!” I thought we have all overcomes the issues with the advent of starling and 5G?

The country is a mess, sorry to say. We keep repeating the same process hoping for a new outcome. From single window to Bodogwu… same process rinsed and repeated with new masters and their selfish interest.

It is difficult to do business here!

Either they are trying to declare a loot as returned or cover a track, same as “Snake swallow money” kind of story

If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.

- Chinese Embassy in US
Why do Europe, Canada and the US feel the need to impede Chinese economic prosperity and national development?

Except for Djibouti and Cambodia outposts which were built through bilateral cooperation, China does not have military bases outside China built from territorial acquisition, compared these former and current empires.

I support china’s stand. These First Nations are desperately trying to hold on to the levers of global power hegemony

We can sit online and abuse Tinubu and our elected members office holders. Tell me if you can do that in russia. Tell me?

Some of you will just be supporting blindly

Haba!
Quite an interesting observation. If you permit me to use the term “opposition” broadly, I will list a few oppositions:

Martin Luther King (killed)
Robert F Kennedy (killed)

Gregory Lamar Nix ( jailed)
Nicholas Ochs (Jailed)
Robert Keith Packe (jailed)

Donald J. Trump ( judicial persecution)

More broadly,
Salvador Allende (killed)
Muamar Gaddaffi


We can even stretch this further by looking the persecution of nations just because they oppose US policy and influence, in many cases the US attempted assassination:
Cuba
Venezuela
Syria

The World will be less safer. And rogue countries like Russia can wake up today and take over any country he likes.

There is a reason why there is NATO. The US and Western Europe coming from the effects of World War 1 and 2 swore never to allow mad people like Hilter behave anyhow again.

But it is unfortunate that in our life time,Another Hilter is almost here,together with the Russian stooge in the WH,the world just might be closer to World War 3

But some of you who just started reading the news yesterday,who are lovers of Dictators do not know which is which. You just follow the bandwagon here and there

Foreign AffairsRe: You Showed Restraint By Not Hitting ‘scumbag’ Zelenskyy – Russia Hails Trump by owagbeba: 1:21pm On Mar 01, 2025
tctrills:
I think you are confused. The only arrogant person yesterday was your man Zeelensky.
He was a guest of the white house yet he chose to make a spectacle in front of the media. He showed no respect for his host and he is not ready for peace.
Let’s get the fact straightened here:

Zelensky wants American support including security guarantee.. meaning American military presence with a coalition of EU states.

Russia will not accepts EU states and America that’s basically NATO in Ukraine, and will fight hard to prevent this scenario

The US can not give security guarantee because it may result in conflict with Russia (a fellow super power))

The European states like UK and France do not have the light to face Russia indignation in Ukraine with the military support of the US.

Trumps wants the honor as the leader that brought peace to this war, so the pressure on Zelensky to accept a ceasefire, accept Russian demands

The EU especially the Brits are urging Zelensky not to give in. Same way the Brits scuppered the Turkish settlement agreement between Ukraine and Russia.

Russia think Zelensky is an illegitimate leader since his 4 year tenure has expired. So any agreement he signs May be null and void.

What next?
Zelensky May be impeached?
Russia May March on to Dnipro ?

Where are those MOG’s that see tomorrow?

You are a slowpoke. No one is scared of Russia. A country that needs north korea to help out can't be taken seriously. They can't even afford military logistics anymore and are depending on donkeys to move men and supplies to the front. Stop embarrassing yourself.
honestly don’t know why you’d have to insult him to make your point. Don’t dumb down the discuss here.. Nairaland is a great platform for sharing ideas and views.

Just to brighten things up for you, the USA has not gone to any war, from the balkans to Afghanistan, and recently Libya without a coalition.

A Russian T90 tank weighs 48tons -equivalent of 100 grown donkeys. The Russians must have millions of donkeys to transport all those hardwares around the battle field .

Many of the funds Hushpuppie was hauling in as Azaman were dividends of successful Korean hacks. And that was what made the FBI pay more much to Dubai ring.

God has given us power to do everything unaided. Therefore, it's important to seek medical help first while fortifying it with prayers. When you go to a hospital and the tests show nothing, then it's clearly a spiritual issue.
Please… when you are sick and a test shows nothing.. then get a second opinion. medical tests are case specific. If you got typhoid and testing for malaria… it will be negative

Come to think of it, has any of these spiritualists won any major award on any discovery in health science?. I think the best they have come up with is handky and olive oil. … not to forget “blessed” water.

How did the Russians make it hard for anyone else to fix it?

Aren’t we to be blamed here? We handed the facility over to Indians and presidential cronies who stripped it of important hardwares. And we can’t sell the damn thing without paying them off

What would it have taken for us to go back to the original manufacturer to fix the mess?

We are terrible at looking out for our collective self.. everyone is selfish, and that’s why the country is so ”effed” up.

I am originally from Mauritius but I grew up in Nigeria. You're 100% correct. Nigerians are generally very ungrateful and selfish. It's really sad! Nigeria is indeed a very great country but it's people are so bad!!
Bro.. I understand what you mean for us to take back the country. But this is not possible in the current contraption. Divide and rule methodology has weakened the possibility of mass agitation for change. Hausa are suspicious of Yorubas.. yorubas are suspicious of ibos…ibos don’t trust the other tribes. Change is difficult to achieve here, plus the sore point of it all - the mindset of an average Nigeria when given an opportunity is “grab it and run” while you can.

Honestly… no hope. I came back after many years during OBJ’s rule thinking things will get better. It has gotten worse since then; Up to a point that I am saving to buy citizenship elsewhere…

I kinda understand what zackmann meant when he referred to Nigeria as a shythole. It is difficult not to see the wasted years of Nigeria in that light. Look at health care, roads, school, infrastructure.. it’s sad.
