Nigerian leaders are stupidly zany. Create a conducive environment and investors who are always willing to make profit would come over. The situation in your country is getting messier and messier, making already extant businesses to shut down, yet you're sending invites to newer ones to come over without fixing the crap that's making those other ones to depart. Una mumu never do.

Mariangeles:
I saw these on a Nigerian food blogger's page, and it caught my attention. I had never seen them before.
She called them goruba, so I got curious, and had to go check it out on Google.

Have you ever seen/eaten these?
If you have, what do you call them in your local dialect?

I had it when I was in the primary school. It's called doum palm fruit. It's nutritious. I still have it. In fact, to enjoy it, boil it alongside cloves and cinnamon and you have a healthy tea.

I had a last 4k intended sending to my wife and our then two little boy, but I ended up spending it, mistakenly though due to my phone's faulty screen, to one of the account numbers already saved on my contacts. I was pained, but had to let it slide, concluding that maybe God wanted the recipient to have the money, perhaps he wash in a terrible quandary. That was in 2016.

The Nigeria Police should be commended, because it's the main agency of government patronizing this company ahead of any other.

I thought a new word should emerge from the situation that happened in Edo politics, and be added to English: Obasekize; meaning to disgrace someone who intends to disgrace you by not being cowed or outperformed. Eg: the new governor obasekized Osholemoh in the recently concluded polls.

This is one of the Smartest leaders in the NORTH

Very resolute and determined

His only crime is his tribe, religion and party affiliation


Southern Kaduna unrest is as old as Nigeria.....not enough to discredit him
Lovely submission and I for one longed for him to be the governor of our state when he indicated interest in the seat. The issue with him is that his education is sometimes misleading him into making narratives that fuel the crises rather than put it out. He once mentioned they had paid the attackers to stop attacking. He always mentions that the attacks are in retaliation for what was done the people. A leader who is taking sides has a huge problem

RomanceRe: Do I Tell My American Patient He's Being Scammed By A Nigerian Romance Scammer? by poyet(m): 9:04am On Aug 14, 2020
ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers angry


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.
Guy, there's no point asking us if you should reveal the real deal happening to him.
He may be offended with "us" and our ways, but he'll be glad another sincere Nigerian had helped him decipher the mess he's into.
Please do tell him.
