PoliticsRe: Obi’s Exit From ADC: Smart Strategy Or Political Gamble? by Penboy: 1:02am On May 08
erad:
Has Obi ever had a smart strategy? If he was smart, he would have stayed back in PDP and deputised Atiku and they would have easily won that election.

But his movements are not dictated by wisdom, but opportunistic tendencies. He disguises it as principle but those with knowledge of Obi's political history know he's everything but a principled man. If he was, he'd still be in APGA today.
Deputising Atiku would have also ended his political career
TravelRe: Share Your First Time Flight Experience by Penboy: 3:01pm On May 06
First time was in 2024.
Flew "Air peace" from Abuja to Lagos.

Had my heart in my mouth all through the journey. Funny thing was, months after I booked my flight ticket, Facebook started suggesting "Plane crash" videos in my news feed.

I can literally tell you every single plane crash from 1980's till date. On the day of the journey, I arrived Nmandi Azikiwe airport quite early, 4 hours before hand. Well, I was cooking from Markurdi, so that explains my timing. Didn't want to hear any story.

Got to the airport early and in addition to my waiting time, the flight was delayed, I mean a 6pm flight delayed to almost 4am the next morning. This further worsened my anxiety.

People were complaining in the airport, some almost beat up airpeace staffs. Omo, I just they observe. You know nau, first time flyer, I can't be disturbed.

We sha landed in Lagos successfully. But I could feel every single turn of the plane, every move, every bumb. My brain was in a high alert state.

Sighed a heavy breathe when the plane touched down. Was a mix of happiness and fear. Was the longest 50 mins of my entire life.

Well, ever since then, we've gone on many now including international too.
Has the fear gone, no never.

I’m in the same situation. My application has been stuck at “vetted” since 14 March when I last checked the status. I haven’t been able to reach anyone by phone, and I’ve received no response to my emails. As a result, I can’t travel for my wedding anniversary trip. This has been very frustrating
Track it and let me know.
Also check royal mail website.

Mine was stuck with royal mail for weeks

I think what you need to do first is to make sure the details on your NIN is the same as your details on the international passport.

£20 was for money order.Paid for 10 years renewal.


Royal Mail C4 special delivery self-addressed envelope for return delivery
The old passport (if applicable)
Payment of the £20 administrative fee, made via postal order payable to the Nigeria High Commission, London (Applicants should write their name and telephone number at the back of the postal order.)
Application forms and payment receipt
All required documents should be sent to: Nigeria High Commission, 9 Northumberland Avenue, London WC2N 5BX.

jedisco:
Sounds like you have a small mind. The world is much bigger than you think and migration has gone on and would continue to go on for the whole of mans existence.

UK makes decisions based on numbers coming in. If Nigerians didn't go, perhaps Indians would have taken their space and the result would still be thesame.

I would only speak against those who markerted illegality. Those who spoke about their legal journey have every right to.
You're smart

I work in computer village and this news resonates with me


Nvidia is the world's best computer chip manufactuers.

I know how many laptops with NVIDIA dedicated graphics card that i have sold this year so far. . .

Remote workers, Content creators and graphics designers prefer laptops with NVIDIA graphics Chips to laptops with AMD Radeon graphics. . .

If you doubt me, send a dm

Clown.

We're talking H20 computing chips and the likes used to power data centres and AI operations, you're mentioning graphics card.

I don't understand. If they got through to you, would you bring your friend back to life?!

Why taking unnecessary guilt upon your self?!

If your friend was ill over the night, instead of spending time reaching you, why didn't they rush him to the nearest hospital?!

I still don't understand this post.

GamingRe: This Video Game Made Life Fun For 80s And 90s Kids (Throwback Photos) by Penboy: 1:41pm On Sep 05, 2025
Rapmoney:
I just stumbled on the Super Mario Bros game that was first released in 1985. Fond memories. I used my saved pocket money to buy the Terminator Game Console that we used in playing Super Mario and other games like Contra, Duck Hunt and Mortal Kombat.

I literally trekked to school for a long time just to save N850 which I used to purchase the game. This was in 1996. My house became a theatre, always filled with friends until Popsy seized the game and asked me to concentrate on my books. If you get this game console that year, you be sabi pikin.

How many of you saw the princess at the end in Super Mario?
850 naira in 1996??

I bought it 1200 in 2010.

14 years later and the change in price was 41%.


From 2020 till date, the change in price is more than 2000 percent
