You will feel the burden of being the first born of the family more, when your parents are much older. It is actually not easy for a man because you have your children and wife to take care of too.

To some extent, I think she is right. However, how will you know if the girl actually loves you because of your money? I think the true test of love is to approach a lady when you actually don't have the money but you have the capacity to have the money. If she could be convinced to embrace you without the money and believe your capacity, then you are good to go.

Why is Enugu people not talking about this?

@OP well done. By their fruits, you shall know them. When someone is desperate to get something, they can do several things to get attention. However, we shouldn't be fooled by those actions because that is not the real person.

What stopped gej from doing what he felt was right ?why didn't tinubu botch listening to the likes of obidients,but he stood true to conviction despite having a second term to contest......thast a true element of leadership......gej never had that and its nobody's fault but his.

Thank you, this is exactly my point too. GEJ was clueless and he was distracted by what the people were saying. What makes a good leader is his ability to know what is the best thing to do and the bravery to take the bold step to do it in the midst of all distractions. At the end, your best critics would turn out to be your loyalists.

Fashola is right. There is definitely something about this man that people still don't seem to know. He is focused and he is dedicated to whatever he wants to achieve, irrespective of what people say or do. I remember when he was contesting as the governor of Lagos state for the first time; opponents called him all sorts of names, "Ojuyobo", "Drug Baron", "Bastard from Iragbiji" in Osun state, despite all these, the distractions didn't stop him from winning the election and ruling for 8 good years. Not only that, he has succeeded in replicating his pattern of leadership and development in Lagos state which keeps Lagos state ahead of all other states till now.

Now that people say a lot of terrible things about him again, I am not moved at all. It is just as if all what happened back in Lagos election back in the day is repeating itself now. He won't be moved, he will keep up doing the good work without any distractions. I have learnt a big lesson from him, no matter what people say about me, as long as I know I am on the right track, I will count them as distractions and focus on what I have to do. I know that later, they will all come to praise me.

Let me end with this; could you have believed that Nigerians would be celebrating and appreciating the good works of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan now, after criticizing him and insulting him while he was at the top of affair of the country? Such is life.

When you tell them that Peter Obi is not cerebral and not that intelligent, they will begin to cry. California is not the biggest state in America. His media team should stop him from just accepting every interview. It is becoming annoying. Many other countries are watching and they are making jest of us.

How come this isn't yet on Niraland frontpage? The news is everywhere and Nigerians are talking about it apart from the Obidients. Moderators, is it what I am thinking?

After all the foreign trips and attempts, Peter Obi wants to paint Nigeria in a bad light, Tinubu just keeps making moves from afar getting close. I believe a bigger political blow is coming, and that’s why they’re all shouting for him to speak so they can twist his words against him.

The difference is that Tinubu isn’t Obi. He hasn’t even declared a campaign yet. I like that he’s staying focused on governing instead of campaigning. At his age, he’s still putting in the work to address the country’s challenges and improve the economy.

When the campaign finally starts, we’ll see whose message resonates. Right now, Obi looks like he’s running out of ideas and searching everywhere for a political lifeline. 😂

We had a member of the church who went through this. The wife refused giving him water in A&E. When the result was out - emergency surgery because he had internal bleeding. It took about 5 hours to get him out. Thank God he made it out alive.

"Tell me one thing that Tinubu has done in 4 years..."

"What has Tinubu used all the money saved from the removal of fuel subsidy to do sef?"

Projects like these should be used as point of reference. 2 Trillion Naira no be moi moi o. That is the total cost of the annual budget of some countries in Africa.

THERE IS NO TEACHERS DAY IN JAPAN AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR IT

In Japan , there is no Teacher's Day. One day, I asked my Japanese colleague, Teacher Yamamota: How do you celebrate Teacher's Day in Japan? Surprised by my question , he replied : We don't have Teacher's Day.
When I heard his reply , I was not sure whether I should believe him or not. A thought passed through my mind: why a country , which is so advanced in economy, sciences and technology, is so disrespectful towards teachers and their work.

Once, after work, Yamamota invited me to his house . We took the metro since it was far away . It was the evening peak hour, and the wagons in the metro train were overcrowded . I managed to find a space to stand, holding tightly the overhead rail. Suddenly, the elderly man who was seated beside me offered me his seat. Not understanding this respectful behaviour of an elderly man , I declined, but he was persistent, and I was forced to sit . Once we were out of the metro , I asked Yamamota to explain what exactly the whitebeard old man did. Yamamota smiled and pointed towards the tag of teacher I was wearing and said : "The old man has seen the tag of a teacher on you and as a sign of respect towards your status, offered you his seat."

Since I was visiting Yamamota for the first time, I felt uncomfortable going there with empty hands so I decided to buy a gift . I shared my thoughts with Yamamota, he supported the idea and said that little further, there is a shop for teachers , where one can purchase goods at reduced prices. Once again , I couldn't hold my emotions :
Privileges are offered only to teachers? I asked .

Confirming my words , Yamamota said:
In Japan, teaching is the most respected profession and a teacher is the most respected person. The Japanese entrepreneurs are very happy when teachers come to their shops, they consider it an honour .

How do you celebrate teachers in Nigeria?

It is easier to build boys than to mend men. This will be more effective than what our youth corpers are exposed to at their NYSC orientation camp. Every child needs to learn self defence...it would be a great development in our education sector.

All four Ogun Governors in the 4th Republic are present here, in this April 13, 2026 photo. United behind one candidate for 2027.

To have all Governors since 1999 still alive AND to have them all backing one person from the State's 'political minority'—is not a story many States can boast of.

The same backing by all former Governors of Ekiti State for Oyebamiji who is the current governor for another term.

Yorubas are unique people.

A key factor in the prosperity of Lagos State is its successful succession pool since it was set up by BAT.

It safeguards the state development plan.

If other states have that continuity, with each governor building on the good work of their predecessors, they will do better.

God bless Ogun State

God bless Nigeria.

OverCalculating:
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.

Brilliant idea.

I can't just imagine the number of military men who have died during IBB's regime. His best friends, superior and junior officers...yet he is still alive today. Hmmmm ...if e reach your turn, allow your enemy to just kpai you first. You go explain tire. It is a case of survival of the fittest.

I have been looking for something like this. I was using Mysterium VPN but I wasn't getting what I wanted with my 43k monthly subscription. I hope this is affordable.

...and the General refused to marry another woman after her death. What a lovely story.

I was there...I witnessed the court judgement. Something in me told me he didn't commit the crime but how could I proven it to the judge? I knew he didn't kill his wife but he was wrong to have been beating her and killing her inside. Her mental health was a problem before the incidence. Nobody talks about mental health issue in marriage, all they see is the physical abuse which is just integral. There are several depressed wives out there...mentally challenged but they are just acting strong as if nothing is happening. Please, parents reach out to your daughter's and find out what is really up with them in their marriage. Don't just assume that everything is fine.

This is front page worthy.

Happy for them. In my days alawee was just paltry 19,800 after deduction.

Wetin we wey collect #7,500 go con do na? My allowee in Katsina, Danja LGA back then was #7,500 and PPA was giving us #250 per month. State government gave us #1,000 per month. Everything no reach 10k.

If we read these verses literally, Genesis 1:31 says that God was satisfied that everything in creation was good, and Genesis 6:6 says that God later realised that this was not the case. That means that at the time of creation, God did not know what the future would be—he was not omniscient. What is your view about this?

You got it all wrong. Now, take your time to read the article once again. Make sure you read in between the lines.

Originalsly:
I'm not in the medical field period ... but do give advice on herbal remedies for certain health issues. I find this write up to be biased ... discouraging the use of herbal treatments. Any Tom, Dick or Harry be on Social Media prescribing both herbal and pharmaceutical treatments. The prescription of pharmaceutical treatments is regulated ... who can prescribe (certified doctors) to who can fulfill the prescription (pharmacist). The prescription of herbal treatments is not regulated ... no certification required...this is our tradition ...our culture ..our history. Why try to demonize it ? Why not first control what can be controlled ... the regulated health sector .. the prescription of pharmaceuticals? ... the proliferation of fake drugs? Isn't this more dangerous to our health than herbs? No doubt.... the use of herbal drugs along with pharmaceuticals can be for better ..or for worse. Shouldn't the warning be do not take both? ...take either? Why must the pharmaceutical be the one to take? Cancer for example ... the one I really have beef with. What treatment is mostly recommended by the professionals?.... chemotherapy.... poison therapy ...regulated poisoning. Would they ever educate the masses on this?...or rather label any such claim as coming from conspiracy theorists ? BTW.... anyone planning on having their loved ones on chemotherapy...my advice is to do a checkup on the status of the person's organs ...liver in particular. As the therapy progresses ... go back and do another check .... you will come to your own conclusions. If anyone's loved is doing chemo and dies "of cancer" ... instead of simply accepting what you were told ...do an independent post mortem and find out the status of the organs at time of death ...you will come to your own conclusion. Reminder ... I'm not in the medical field ... this write up is about getting my kind ...uncertified ... conspiracy theorists ... off social media and allowing the public to be fed by their "credible information" only. Or is it really about protecting the pharmaceutical industry?
