Omicron007: It is no longer news that frontline Lagos politician Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu visited President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja recently where he informed him of his decision to contest the apex political seat in the country in 2023.
Since that visit, social media pages have been awash with Tinubu's life long ambition of being the president of this country. A stroll on Nairaland's politics section would confirm that the polity is gradually being heated up concerning the race for who would succeed Buhari come 2023.
Tinubu's candidacy is a trending topic on this forum and a lot of political enthusiasts are airing their voice by drumming support for him or standing against him.
However, let us look at a certain scenario. Who do you think would be Tinubu's running mate? This is a very dicy situation concerning the fact that Tinubu is a Southern Muslim and it will not be acceptable by the general population if he fields a Northern Muslim as his running mate.
Who do you think is the best choice for Vice-President?
He shouldn’t be Running at all in the first place. But Greed and Sentiment won’t let him or his supporters see that.
Maks27: So I had this Local dog I love very well, I feed her all the time.
She eats whenever eat. She is so fresh unless you take a close look you won't know it's a local dog.
But during the Christmas holiday I travelled, by the time I came back my precious dog doesn't stay In our apartment again, she now spends all her time at our neighbors, if I call her and my neighbors call her at the same time she will answer them first.
This dog has completely forgotten about me. Sometimes I will go pick her up there feed her and before I look again she has returned to our neighbors house.
So I ask my dad what could have happened and he told me they beat her when I travelled because she dog a hole in the backyard. Please how do I draw my dog back to me Please help me I don't want to loose her.
1) First find out what draws her to your neighbors house. And see if you can replicate it. 2) Call her sweet names, Spend time with her.
3) Try as much as possible to give her treats. Get cooked brisket bone for her, watch and pet her while she eats so as to creat that bond back.

HeavenlyCherub: Do you think You can judge character by looking at a picture?
Do you expect them to wear overalls to be beach? It’s wrong to judge ANYONE based on their outward appearance. You are not the Nigerian police or EFCC.
TheGidRedpiller: This is one bitter truth everyone has to digest whether they like it or not. I'm being specific about this age we are in. Most of them wished they never even met their wives not to talk of marrying them and the rest wished they never even considered marriage in the first place! Women will want to exploit the leverages they have in the 21st century, they want their opinions to count even when it is baseless and most times one-sided. The women of this age only know how to wh0re not handle men, they love the idea of marriage but none of them want to be wives! You are not wrong to refer them as household demons because they will torture you emotionally and psychologically. The worst part of the situation is that you as a man don't really have a choice, you have fallen in the trap by signing those marriage documents and you are completely stuck with the devil for life! Still Typing...
Me Charles i am I enjoying my own Marriage. My only regret is no getting married earlier.
gentiles: Holy Temple? Church na business center na! You cannot compare a church with a mosque. One is a business center, the other one is holy temple.
Holy temple that I has turned into Boko haram/Iswap slaughter house.
This man has just given you every right to be successful in life. I challenge you brother, use this to boost your morale on making it.
Charge yourself. Hustle hard.
Find a place and get out from his building. His next coming, wouldn't be nice!
It’s very easy and o take this advice out of context. Especially for someone who has been pushed to the wall. The short version of this advice is.........Do anything LEGAL to make it.
Supreme145: Good day Nairalanders, there have been a lingering cold war in my family between my parents and it has created a tension in my family that as the first son I'm running out of options on how to dunce this tension. My parents have been married for almost 30 years and just like another has been full of ups and downs.
I will try not to sound biased but my dad's authoritarian nature has caused a serious crack in my our family and made my mom a very unhappy woman that is just enduring the marriage for the sake of her children. Instead of the children to find solace in our home we all prefer to be far away due to the continuous rift between our parents. My dad has never laid his hands on our mom but constantly talks down on her even in front of the kids, and knowing my father you would rather prefer to be mended with 2x2 plank rather than my father letting his tongue lose on you. His mouth is filled with venom.
A while ago one of my siblings got a job as a cashier in a bet shop without my father's knowledge, we kept it away from him because we knew very well he would object because he hated anything bet. My mom on the other hand knowing fully well that the boy has been idle for a while gave her consent reluctantly. My dad got to know after he observed that the boy was dropping money at home frequently and when he inquired about the source of the money and learnt that he was working in bet shop all hell was let loose.
He called me on phone in school, which he rarely does just to confirm if I was aware which I replied in the affirmative. He said all manner of derogatory things to me, because he felt his position as the head of the home was threatened, he felt we the children was siding my mom to override his authority in the home. My siblings would later call me the following day to complain about how he spoke to my mom, the poor woman cried for days. They said my dad would never see a dime of their money if they get rich even though I know it was childish talk but that's how serious thing are.
Almost all my siblings have grown to hate my dad though they conceal it very well. His tyrannical rule is not helping matters at all, my dad is the kinda father that if you spoil an appliance in the house, it would be in your best interest to repair it before he becomes aware because the funny part is he won't say much to you rather all the aggression would be transfered to my mom. If we use the generator we would have to replace the quantity of fuel that we used. I was sleeping in lecture hall in school, my pop man insisted there was no money and even advised I withdrew from school if I can't cope only to get home to meet the news that he just bought a land lol.
While I don't expect much from him cos I'm of age, I don't like how he keeps alienating himself from my other siblings due to his nonchalant attitude to their warfare. Those kids would spend weeks at home due to non payment of school fees but he would spend hundreds of thousands fixing his car if it breaks down.
My mom called me today in tears, p man just left the house without dropping anything for Xmas, and even a cube of maggi is not at home, and its not as if he doesn't have money, I'm away of the big contracts he's working on at the moment whereas he's been spending on his car putting it in shape for travelling him. And he was the one that told momsi not to process her cassava and sell because she envisaged that something like this would happen.
Now my siblings have been bombarding me with complaints and this is why I preferred to stay back in school instead of traveling home. How should I approach this issue? I can't call a man and tell him how to use his money, I've been struggling to make mine so that I can offset some of the expenses from his shoulder.
I love my dad and I understand his struggles, i know what people without a father figure goes through but how can I stop the hate that is brewing towards him from my siblings? I want our home to be peaceful. Please I need your advice.
Being the first son. You are in the best position to talk to him. Sit him down. Let him know how much his words and actions are pushing the whole family away from him. Let him know that sooner or later you all (the kids) will leave and he’s going to be stuck with his wife.
SayAsSeen: This is the umpteenth time! Since he arrived
You should have said something the first time she did it. I know how you fell. Talking to her is your only option sir. She obviously doesn’t see it as a bad thing.
marvellously: ;Omor, it seems the adekunle gold that sang orente and the one that sang High are different persons as baba marry e turn to bahd guy unto dreads and tattoo
iLegendd: I have realized whoever doesn't have NIN (as a Nigerian living in Nigeria) is digitally broke.
He doesn't make money from the Internet, else, he would have it. When I ask a young person do you have NIN and he/she says no, I know who he/she really is financially. Broke and digitally senseless/wayward/lazy.
If you're on this table I'm shaking, I'm not cussing you, I'm just angry with you that you don't know the value of what you're procrastining to get.
Without NIN, you're locked out digitally. A lot of online registrations in one way or the other will require it — even to get a passport.
All these 9-5 workers are the ones who don't take it seriously because they don't care about the digital world, but their 9-5 slavery. How many of them is even making more than 200k per month? Just a few, yet they don't take digital money (which I consider 80% of the money on Earth) seriously.
Na poverty and 9-5 slavery go kill you there if you no get your NIN and wise up.
End of rant.
As long as them no come beg you for food or money. You have no right to call anymore broke.
You can literally live like a king in Ibadan with a 50k Salary and still save. Lagos house rent alone sef no go let person get savings not to talk of feeding.
In all we do, we must remember to help people irrespective of their tribe or religion, saw these Fulani women hungry and stranded and I bought them some food.
Blessed is the hand that giveth than the one that taketh.
You should have kept your mouth shut. You would have gotten a greater reward.
Please I will try as much as possible to make this narration short because I need advice on how to handle this issue.
I have a boy that works for me ......he is from calabar, one thing sha lead to another a lady got pregnant for him ......fast toward to October she had an early delivery so the baby is premature.
The baby was referred to a federal government hospital since October.....the girl father have being the one paying majority of the bills due to the guy financial situation before some group of ngos donated about 900k to the baby.
A lady came around on Friday claiming to be the girl sister and forcefully discharge the baby claiming the hospital is just collecting money without doing anything......she said the baby will be taking to a better private hospital......the baby needs a minor surgery but can't be operated yet due to being a premature.
Yesterday the girl father came around and discovered about the baby being discharge ....he started calling the boy threatening him.....I intervened letting him know it was the girl sister that asked for the baby to be discharged....he told me the girl doesn't have a sister.
We move there yesterday night......on getting there the man said the baby need to be readmitted again but the hospital said they can't..After so much begging they accepted. The issue now is nobody is allowing this guy have a say....anytime he try to talk they all shut him up.
He was blamed for what happened instead of the lady....which I had to speak up for him......the lady sister was the one who signed for the baby to discharged and instead of taking them to a private hospital this lady took them to her house.
So after studying everything I discover the girl family wants to sideline him because of the 900k ......they don't want him to know anything about how the money is spent........the guy is trying is best to pay for somethings he can infact him and girl are living in the hospital.
He is not educated and not smart....his mother refused to help out so he is all alone.
Please nl how do I help this guy gain access to how this money is spent and stop the girl family from treating him like a nobody.
Note: the surgery requires about 200k from what I learnt.
1) How long has he worked for you? 2) Do you trust him?
If your answer to question 2 is Yes then Fight for him like your own brother. But seek his mother’s consent first. ( e get reason) He’a still the father of that child, so he has a say. The family is just trying to sideline him because of the money. He shouldn’t drag the money with them oh. The child’s HEALTH should be his priority. If you can’t do all the work. Get him a very good lawyer.

NewsAgent101: Nigerian actor and social media commentator, Uche Maduagwu on Saturday, dramatically demanded justice for late student of Dowen College, Sylvester Oromoni jnr.
The controversial critic stormed a market place and created a scene as he warned the management of Dowen College that he would pay them a visit.
The death of Sylvester Oromoni Jnr, has sparked agitations from Nigerian celebrities, as they demand justice for the child. A Twitter user @perrisonoromoni, who claimed to be the boy’s cousin, said that Oromoni was beaten by fellow students for refusing to join cult.
However, in a statement on Wednesday, the school denied all allegations stating that Oromoni was neither bullied nor beaten but only complained of hip pain after playing football.
In a video making rounds online, Maduagwu had bra’s strapped all around his body and in his a hand as he jumped around saying; ”Justice for Sylvester, Dowen College I am coming with my bra”
Men and rape hmmm. May God help us o. Rape apologists coming for you. The will tell you how Nigerian politicians have raped Nigeria and nothing happened hence these criminals shouldn't be punished
