Low self esteem Africans. The list is almost exclusively light skinned girls

There is nothing like low self esteem there.
Any where in the world, light skin na eye catcher.

Research will tell you the most voracious consumers of bleaching cream is the part of India dominated by black indians.
There is a reason why the bleaching business is lucrative in Nigeria.

Ask Nollywood producers. They will tell you.

Most of them went there the way TOKE MAKINWA went to COP.

If you know Sabi ask your neighbor.

You cannot stay afar and know the taste of a soup.

Hi!

From the description you have of your retiree dad, I suspect he may be experiencing early to mid stages of Parkinson's or some other neurological disorder.

What I mean is that his constant fighting or quarrels with folks in the village (due to irritability), second, the sale of his house without informing you his children, third, your inability to locate your late mother's properties kept in the original house that he sold, fourth your father's ABRUPT plan to relocate back to the city after a lot has been spent on the village house, fifth, the CONSTANT revealing of family secrets by your father to people which have led to the alleged disrespect for your father by folks are some of the things you and your siblings have to become aware of. Sixth, his inability to keep or spend large amounts of money judiciously.

Read up on Parkinson's symptoms (there are over 30 symptoms or side effects) to get a hang of what I'm saying here. Get him to see a professional neurologist for major checkups to determine what is wrong with him... and primary watch if he has tremors in his hands or a shuffling gait while walking. Forgetfulness is another major symptom.

CBD oil is a potent patented medication that helps to relieve the neurological symptoms.

There are drugs or medications to stabilize a patient, but under normal conditions, the damage to the brain nerves (due to stem cells deterioration) are irreversible. Research is still going on worldwide though to find a lasting cure for Parkinson's which can strike from about the age of 35 years and above.

I must commend you for looking out for your dad... That is very noble of you. In the process, you will also learn about yourself and how to give love and vice versa. Now that you know these, please be PATIENT with him from here on out because it's much deeper, though it can be annoying and embarrassing when a loved one doesn't keep secrets, missplaces things, and is forgetful atimes. These are classic symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

A lot of folks have given brilliant advice here and I also do NOT subscribe to you renting a house for him. At his age, he should be in his own house and not have to start paying rent to a landlord. Last but not least, in the absence of stock market investments and/or mutual funds, the recommended investment for retirees is in the field of agronomy as that would bring in sustainable income and they can also feed themselves instead of depending exclusively on others.

They can have hybrid economic trees planted such as avocado and others which yearly produce fruits, hybrid tomatoes and red/yellow peppers, pineapples, etc. these can sustain them and the excess can be sold at a farmers market.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I love your own perspective to this topic.
Well said sir.

Small change wey dey your hand, you still dey take pursue case for Supreme court.

Your Mumu wey make you hide money inside cap never do?

poseidon12:
Nigeria's problems will not be solved by prayers. If Asiwaju wants to succeed, he must urgently restructure Nigeria. Otherwise he will just waste another 4 or 8 years, just like his useless predecessors Jonathan and Buhari.

With all due respect for your opinion, talking about restructuring to me is just like someone trying to hide behind a finger.
Let us not deceive ourselves, the people on whose laps and tables the restructuring falls will be out of job immediately. Will they be ready to be jobless? I doubt that.
Any form of restructuring will have to pass through the legislative arm. Will it sail through? Never.

Angelfrost:
Love?! Lol!

An average Nigerian will burn the nation to the ground without a second thought if it will make him wealthier.

We have become a group of people more concerned about personal wealth growth than the collective and corporate growth of the nation.

We don't even go to election grounds with Patriotism and love for the country in mind.

Look at sports... Our Super Eagles are not after their nation's honor. Compare that to Senegal, Morocco, Cape Verde, etc.

That's why some of those nations are faring better economically too.


Imagine the amount of Dollars being hoarded by Politicians alone, including Mr. President and his Vice.

These people are not interested in the collective progress of this nation except it benefits them alone.

Nigeria and Nigerians have exalted Money to ridiculous heights... It is shocking.

Well said.

With all sense of humility, this topic seems to me the topic with the most assemblage of sensible, matured and reasonable commenters so far.

Let us hope it continues like this

Maybe the children are still sleeping.

Angelfrost:
Local production! Simple.

They don't operate a highly "Dollarized" economy like Nigeria.

Most Nigerians in Nigeria literally depend on the Dollars like it is oxygen.

In addition, a lot of these nations invest themselves in trans-Africa trades which doesn't require devaluing their currencies while meeting their needs.

Just to add to your point is the fact that Dollar is now almost our medium of exchange. Some high profile schools are demanding fees in dollars while some apartments are paid for in dollars.

The major problem seems to be, we all claim to love this country but the opposite is clearly the true position

1Alex:
I did not vote for Tinubu but truth be told, he seems to have good intentions. I am 100% obidient but since court has decided, I have to support him, if he succeeds, it's for the good of all of us. I have entirely nothing to gain if he fails.

Wonderful comment.
Kudos especially for your last statement.

Whether you are home or abroad, the success of any government in your country should supercede all religious and ethnic biases.

Once again, kudos for your last statement.

Lazy bone that has never worked for a single day in his life

Free money as NANS President
Free money as NASS member.
Free money as Deputy Governor.

Try and submit CV like Nigerian graduates make you sef know say If you remove J from Jesus, wetin remain na Ekwensu.

Make dem they cry while pants don dey wear dem.

Lazy idiots.

All what they aways sit on to fleece the country have been taken from them.:

CG Customs
CG Immigration
Minister FCT.

Una cry jus start.

Stupid question half hour.

The children are back from school

The guy don dey wise up.

AuthorMan:
The Bigger your charges the bigger the bribe for Judges the more compromising to overturn judgment to favor your client.

A Real born again lawyer is very scarce. Telling lies and bribery is part of the profession.

Tell me a profession where real born agains are plentiful.
Even when most pastors are not born again?

Wake up sir.
Keke wan leave you behind.

EconomistXplain:

Shalom.

EconomistXplain:

Just try to minimize your ignorance.

Atimes, plenty English do not hide ignorance.

What is kick back in a legal agreement?

Dey there make pant dey wear you.

Zanzibar1:
Invariably, winning a case translate to getting paid na. So what about losing?

Lawyers get paid win or lose.
At least the story he narrated should have told you that even if you do not know before.

No wonder Baba's university na BABA university.

Curious345:
Mtcheew

4th mainland when Lagos has no single km stretch of road that is pothole free

Direct your anger to your state Governor.

A child cannot leave his parents and cry to kill another person's parents.

It is difficult to imagine that the children of Prof. and Prof. Mrs Elebute will sell Lagoon Hospital.

Lesson:
1. Nothing lasts forever.
2. Whatever you hold dear, will one day be yanked off by your children whether trained or untrained, educated or illiterate.

SoNature:
Coming from the Nation, I hope Sanusi doesn't debunk it tomorrow though

Even if it is Vanguard, your comment will not be different.
Holding on to the Nation to hide your bigotry and stupidity is clear to the discerning.

Timoleon:
Uber abo taxify don finish for Abuja?

As in, the idiot said she had no option as everyone had left the venue.

Even sef, taxi no dey. Danfo bus no dey.

Mayeldah:
Hmmm

Your family needs flogging, how can not even one person detect this easy fraud?

When a Muslim starts using terms like 'we are in the end times' know say Dem don scam am deep

They could not detect because they all have long throats.
As in,.the all sleep and face the same direction.

EngrEgghead:
I'm still thinking. Can anyone be planning wedding without first visiting the relatives.

Wonder no further.

It is possible with someone like the lead character in this epic film titled " Stupid family scammed by smart in-law".

The entire family should hold an Annual General Meeting and decide there to add Greedy to the family name.

Realtruth2023:
Provide evidence of how he funded a brewery that a whole ABinBev the largest brewer cannot fund. Oga once again try and be sensible

Your job is cut out if all you have to do is defend Obi on this forum.

Where is the N250m cash that developed wings in Anambra only to find its way to Lagos?

Oya, defend.

You go explain tire.

Realtruth2023:
Why not just be silent if you have nothing sensible to say

I am not surprised the only thing you have to say is to attack my comment either out of ignorance or sheer hatred for the Governor.
Perhaps, by your own reckoning, all I pointed out typifies good journalism.
