Good day my beloved nairalanders....

I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you for all your contributions and concern during my almost 3 weeks battle with boils......I finally won

It was not easy for me at all, but thank God they are gone..I used several remedies I got from here, starting from roasted plantain leaves,palm oil and salt, applying raw beans, damatol and so on..
I can now sleep and walk freely

Honestly,dis experience taught me never to look down or underrate any body/nairalanders for you don't know were your help might comes from..

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU ALL

Why Does This Type of News NEVER Reach Nairaland?

What type of forum is this?

The clamour everywhere now is for African countries to process their raw materials here in Africa, and not just export.

Okay, your President just built the largest lithium battery plant in all AFRICA, costing over $250 million, and now employing thousands of Nigerians directly and indirectly, and everywhere is quiet.

It's as if it didn't happen! huh

What kind of country is this?

Where is Oseni Rufai?

Didn't he see this one to report?

This is Lithium!

Rare Earth Minerals!! The source of tomorrow's industries!

This is what industrialisation is all about.

Is GRV not a Lagosian? Ain't you tired of slavery from Tinubu and his cronies in Lagos? This is my opinion and I stand by it. Remove the lens of tribal and religious sentiments and you can see what you see
Christlike01:
Are you from Lagos, man? Before you ask me, I'm not just from Lagos; I'm a blueblood from the state—a royal. Now, take it from me: non-Yorubas will never rule Lagos State—it won't happen! Enough of this cosmopolitan nonsense. Is Lagos State the only cosmopolitan state in Nigeria? Why aren’t you pushing for non-indigenes to govern those other states as well?

I'm quite sure you're not from Lagos, and certainly not Yoruba. If you care to tell us your truth, would you allow Yorubas to rule over you in your own state or wherever you came from? You should stop making these unguarded statements. It's dangerous. How do you think you'll ever be able to impose what you can't accept in your own enclave? You claim non-Yorubas are contributing to the economy of Lagos and therefore deserve to rule it. What warped reasoning! Are there no Yorubas contributing to the economy of your own state? Allow them to rule over you first!

Believe it or not, non-Yorubas will not rule in Lagos. Trust me, we indigenes are very intentional about that—it won't happen!

I would vote for a competent individual who would give me good governance. Tribe is the last thing on my mind, because that is exactly how nepotism starts. Good governance and nepotism ( or tribal favouritism) are two parallel lines.
helinues:
This is arrogant talk. In your home state, would you vote for someone who can't speak the local language fluently? If the market women have issue, how will he communicate with them, with interpreters or what?

He cannot converse in Yoruba so what? As long as he has Yoruba heritage, he is good to go ( not that other non Yoruba persons cannot govern Lagos) The most important factor is governance. Lagos is situated in Yoruba land but it is cosmopolitan in nature. No be only Yoruba dey live and contribute to the economy of Lagos.
Af0nja2:
Lagos ADC Governorship Candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour was a speaker at this year's The Platform Town Hall programme.

In this video, he tried to reply to a participant who asked him a question in Yoruba language on how he will preserve the Yoruba culture if elected Governor of Lagos State.

Recent events happening on October 1, 2026 shows arrest of rapper Rick Ross (William Roberts II) on domestic violence related charges, including felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery.
The viral photo shows his bond hearing before Judge Mindy Glazer, where she pushed back against his attorney's argument that Ross' celebrity status should affect his bail conditions. Ross has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Recebt Key Timeline

Oct 1, 2026: Rick Ross turns himself in to Miami Beach police and is booked at 6:10 a.m.

Aug 28, 2026: Alleged incident occurs at Ross' Star Island home, triggered by an argument over an Instagram photo tag claiming his girlfriend was cheating on him.

Sep 30, 2026: The alleged victim reports the incident to police, providing photos of injuries.

Oct 1, 2026: Judge Mindy Glazer sets bond at $5,000 total, orders Ross to have no contact with the alleged victim and surrender all firearms.

Oct 22, 2026: Scheduled arraignment hearing for the case.

Case Status & Other Claims

Prosecution alleges Ross slapped, choked, and struck the victim multiple times during the August 28 argument.

Ross' legal team states the accusations are false, noting the alleged incident was reported a full month after it supposedly occurred.

Ross has formally pleaded not guilty to both charges and is currently released on bond pending his court date.

The judge's widely shared line "what does that mean" was in response to Ross' attorney arguing his high-profile status should be considered for jail housing.
More information will be updated as the case is presently ongoing.

Investment › Re: Funds Stuck In Bamboo App Due To Security Questions, Unable To Buy Dangote IPO by pongwa(m): 7:39pm On Sep 18
But I just bought now
oluxy:
I’m a first-time user of the Bamboo app. I deposited money into the app specifically to buy the Dangote IPO, but unfortunately, I couldn’t complete the purchase because of security questions.

The frustrating part is that I also cannot withdraw my funds from the app to use elsewhere.

I contacted Bamboo’s AI Help, which appears to be the only available support option, but I couldn’t get a solution. The AI advised me to send an email to the Support and Fraud Desk, which I did. However, after sending several messages, I have received no response.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is there any reliable way to contact Bamboo directly?

If I cannot buy the IPO through the app, I should at least be able to withdraw my own funds before it becomes too late to participate in the IPO.

There doesn’t seem to be a functioning helpline to contact—just a telephone number that isn’t connecting or reachable.

Please, has anyone experienced something similar with the Bamboo app, and if so, how were you able to resolve it?

Investment › Re: What Does It Mean For An Ordinary Nigerian To Own 10 Shares Of Dangote Refinery? by pongwa(m): 7:33pm On Sep 08
E go use Una money go build refinery for Kenya. Reduce the value then the wealthy will buy back leaving the common man in economic comatose
Enochi:
The Dangote Refinery IPO is getting a lot of attention today, and understandably so.

But one detail caught my attention: the reported minimum subscription is just 10 shares at ₦525 each — ₦5,250.

That makes me wonder about something we haven't seen discussed nearly as much.

What does actually owning those 10 shares mean for an ordinary Nigerian?

Not the headlines about the size of the IPO or Dangote's valuation. I mean the practical side.

If someone puts ₦5,250 into the offer:

What exactly do they own?

Where does that money go?

Do they become entitled to dividends?

What happens if the share price falls after listing?

How do they eventually sell those shares?

And if the refinery raises more than ₦2 trillion, what exactly is that money going to fund?

I also think there is an important distinction worth making here:

A low minimum subscription makes an investment accessible. It does not make the investment low-risk.

₦5,250 is small enough for many people to consider participating, but the underlying investment still has the normal risks of owning shares.

Perhaps that is actually one of the more interesting aspects of this IPO.

For the first time, a major Nigerian industrial asset is being presented to ordinary investors with a very low entry point.

So, for someone considering the minimum 10 shares, what would you want to know before putting down the ₦5,250?

Culture › Re: It Is Wrong For Your Children To Bear Your Name As Surname by pongwa(m): 7:30am On Aug 13
You got apoint. The truth is that we live through our ancestors hence the importance of preserving them through these names. You can never isolate yourself from your lineage. Son of a lion is always a lion whether he renames himself giraffe
Rapmoney:
This terrible act of children bearing their biological father's name as surname in Nigeria started with Millennials, and it is a very shameful thing culturally. Most of us do not understand the importance or significance of surnames. Surnames are not just names for the sake of it.

A surname is a way or medium of honouring your ancestor. Africans, over the years have been brainwashed by the western culture that our ancestors evil spirits. Due to this, many Africans attach evil to the name 'ancestor'.

Culturally in Africa, surnames are adopted in turns. You adopt your grandfather's name as your surname, and when you give birth, your child adopts your father's name as surname. When your own child gives birth, the child adopts your own name as surname. That is how it goes and that is how lineage are honoured and preserved.

Millennials and Gen Z Nigerians now give their children their names as surnames without any atom of respect for their fathers, thereby cutting off their fathers from the lineage. If you so much cherish your name, you can give it to one of your child and has Jnr attached to it. People do it. But not cutting off your own father from the lineage by making your kids adopt your own name as their surname. It is bad and alien to the African culture.

Do not be fooled by the white culture which wants you to believe that African ancestors connote evil. To be ancestor na turn by turn. One day, you too go be ancestor.
