That's exactly my point! Can the American minimum wage ($7:25/hr) sustain a 'saner climer' to live the lifestyle you itemized iN America??[/b]The obvious answer is no!
It's only grand delusion that will make someone think that he can live in banana island on #500k, whereas with just #300k d same person can live large in ikorodu, Just like it will be nothing but pure madness for a minimum wager to think he can live on $7:25/hr in Bel-Air. 🤷
The minimum wage in 'saner climes' (America) is: $7:25/ hr>>> x 6 >>>> $43.5/week >>>x 4 = $1392/month! (Minus tax o).
Ngwa: how many 'saner climers', (after tax, accomodation, electricity and feeding etc) can: *Travel on vacation? **Afford to eat WHAT THEY WANT? **Buy a nice car with d remaining - without resorting to credit card?? **Meet emergency needs?? 🤷
Mindlog: You are not rich, rather you just above those struggling with abject poverty.
Can I get nice and safe accommodation with it? Can it get me 24/7 electricity? Can it cover my travelling for vacation? Can I afford to eat whatever I want? Can I buy and drive a nice car with it? Can I meet my health emergency needs?
There's absolute diff btw d 2 politicians: **ADELEKE was self made; no 'godfather' apart from his family played a part in his emergence. He already has his structure in place since over 2 decades ago - his sibling (isiaka adeleke) was a gov of osun etc.
**FUBARA was picked literally from the 'gutters' by his godfather - Nyesom wike. He had no backbone/structure but the one already erected by his godfather. The ONLY mistake he made was to listen to the propping of obidients/opposition. Sebi im eyes don clear now.
press9jatv: When I tell people that Fubara even put up a fight but mugus will be telling me he is a weakling, weak man is a man that never put up a fight
It's either you have selective amnesia or you are being mischievous; it's one of the two. You just confessed your deep-seated hatred for for the ruling class. Then you garnished it with Now I support okpebholo
Obviously, your hatred blocked blocked you from 'supporting' him before.
ddippset: Any reasonable Nigerian would have hate in their heart for the ruling class.
If you don't have hate for our ruling class, then you're the ignorant one!.
ddippset: Now I support Okpebolo for all the disrespect he dished on that fat short shapeless Governor.
He's nothing but an opportunist,,, a shameless shapeless ugly illiterate being.
ddippset: What people like you need is a bit more education so you could decipher context in writing and speaking. Any normal person with sense would understand that no one would agree with Okpebolo.. Besides I have not hidden the fact that Adeleke/b] is not our messiah, he [b]is at best a lesser evil.
Many like me don't love Adeleke because we all know he went earlier to beg Tinubu, trying to join APC. Many of us only aligned with him because we see him as a lesser evil to people like Tinubu and Wike.
I hope you can somehow understand this post.
So long as you all still are blinded by hate and bigotry for everything and everyone apart from your own, then those you call 'lesser evil' will continue to use your head and eventually DUMP you just like adeleke just did!!! 🤷
You guys are overtly emotional and that's why you can be easily used AND DUMPED by any politician.
So it's bc adeleke associated with tinubu/wike that your eyes all of a sudden opened that "okpebholo was right after all"??
That shows that una support was purely bc of hate for tinubu/wike/APC/yorubas and not bc una really give any hoot about adeleke.
You guys are far too obstinate to learn! 🤷
ddippset: Now I support Okpebolo for all the disrespect he dished on that fat short shapeless Governor.
You claim your people were arrested and taken to Abuja, your people were killed.. And then here you go, embracing and supporting the people who hold the powers which was used against you...
Sowore was 1 million percent right about this man.
He's nothing but an opportunist,,, a shameless shapeless ugly illiterate being.
Some ppl in Nigeria don't understand politics bcus the hierarchy of leadership/kingship is purely lacking. That is why a group of ppl in this modern era will open their mouth and say "we know no kings" or "everyman is king to himself". Once they have small change in their pockets, no one can talk to them again.
How will you who respects no leadership/king aspire to lead an evolved society with utmost respect for leadership?? Is that not a prelude to disaster??
EponObi: Lol... People keep failing to understand politics.
Why did Davido fold, remove his cap, then prostrate when he boosted to the same Wike that he defeated "them", and Wike challenged him with "you defeated us abi?" Did you notice Davido's body language? He was like "na play I dey play ooo"
Nothing new about that, you're just being a woman. Even Eve - despite being the co-owner of d whole world - still had to desire the gift/counsel of an animal in the garden of Eden.
Don't beat yourself. It's a defect that predates your existence. 🤷
Evaress: It feels like the people who are drawn to me aren’t the ones I’m drawn to. I don’t feel a connection, and I can’t fake it.
Meanwhile, the people I genuinely like don’t seem to feel the same way about me.
Then I get blamed for being single, like I’m the problem for saying no.
But should I force feelings that aren’t there? I’ve tried, and it doesn’t work.
I just wish it was easier to find someone who feels the same way I do.
I want the feelings to be mutual on both sides not one-sided love.
I don't even need the man to be as handsome as brad pitt or as rich as Elon musk. There is this certain type of appeal that i find attractive in a Guy which most guys don't have.
That one na before o, now the world knows the sets of 'nigerians' whose stock in trade is 'powder - shipping'. Why do you think i-gbos are all of a sudden impersonating other tribes??
Na reason why 'Chukwumas' dey bear 'kunle' for their international passport now be that, especially those with criminal intents.
morpheus24: We are one Nigeria whether you like am or you no like am. Until then na Nigerian passport you dey carry for pocket. Malaysian man no send, all dem no na Nigeria.
Hahahaha....when its a thing of pride that will attract chants of "i-gbo a-maka", I'm yet to see a single i-gbo-man changing his name to bear Yorub name, but when it's time to do evil like pushing powder to Malaysia, na dt time una go remember "one Nigeria" just to impersonate other tribes.
Well done sir. 👏👏👏
morpheus24: We are all Nigerians so one person's shame is everybody's shame outside Nigeria.
On that note, I agree 100% with you, but at least let it be within your domain. Let 'chukwuebuka obiora' impersonate 'chinonso obi' for whatever purpose he does it, not to impersonate other tribes only for his brethren to be insulting other tribes for the crime of their bloda!
Not that a 'Chinonso' will impersonate 'kunle' in Malaysia will be caught carrying powder while amaka and co will be rejoicing that Yor man has been arrested.
Shikenan, e nor pass that one.
morpheus24: Stop running away from what is glaringly the fact. Bearing a name that is not your own is "sinister" in of itself whether it be Igbo or Yoruba.
This is it: 1. If what you said TRULY happened, it's still understandable as yorubas bear Muslim names as well and "Abdulrahim Quadri Abdulsalam" could easily pass for any ethnicity in both sw/northern MUSLIM just as a "PETER DANIELS" can stand for any Nigerian christian - be it SW, SE, SS or even northern christian, but. .. 2. When a Kunle Ademola bears a 'onyemaechi Okonkwo' outside the country, or when a Chinonso Obiora bears an international passport bearing Adekunle Adetshina, then you know it MUST be for a sinister purpose.
morpheus24: This is very strange as I have seen an Adeyemi Adesanya turn into Abdulrahim Quadri Abdulsalam on his way to Dubai.
Only someone who has something to hide - like drug trafficking etc - that will not only drop his fathers name, but hide behind/steal and basterdize other ethnicity's name.
This is d new modular operandi of drug traffickers from the south east. When they are caught using Yoruba names now, none of you will bother to find out if he's truly Yoruba or a Yoruba impersonator.
Na that time una go dey open yeye threads upandan to paint yorubas in bad light. Out of the millions of Ibo names, e nor see one, but na Yoruba name he choose. Na so una like yorubas reach abi??
seppuku: What do you mean where he is truly from. His nationality is Nigeria. No one outside Nigeria cares what ethnicity he is except for tribalists.
And in 'picking names' it has to be a bastardized name from another ethnic group? Tomorrow when he's arrested for drúgs in Malaysia how many of you will bother to find out where he's truly from? Na that time una go begin open countless threads about how yorubas too are into drug trafficking.
Must you adulterate everything? From fake products now to fake names. Hian!
dettolgel: So you dont have the right to pick your name. I have cousins that dropped their father's name and chose unrelated names.
Her father is FULL-BLOODED IGBO and her mum is Mozambican. Where her father 'manufactured' d 'Adetshina' from , you can ask him.
Moreover, there's no name like 'adetshina' in Yoruba history.
Hezmatosky210: Your name sef is the thing working against you. Sorry to say o. In nigeria, these two tribes are fighting themselves, whether in marriage, politics, inside danfo, market, bustop, news paper shops, they can never agree. Now, how do you think you can move forward with the two names. Am not igbo, I am a real Asaba man. Yours faithfully
OverCalculating: Ladies, let’s be real for a minute. We can still love a man and lose respect for him at the same time. And when respect dies, love starts struggling to survive. It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes it’s eye-rolls, cancelled plans, or the way we stop asking his opinion.
I’m writing this not to bash women, but to help men see the signs early before things break beyond repair. Here are ten signs your woman has lost respect for you from the opposite sex.
1. In public, she tries to control you.
She may humiliate you by giving you commands or berating you in public, thinking you'll just put up with it.
2. She ignores all of your requests, even the most basic ones.
She frequently brushes them off or tells you to take care of things on your own.
3. She discusses her ex-boyfriends without caring
She brings up former loves without taking your thoughts into account, demonstrating her lack of concern for your feelings.
4. She departs without informing you of her destination.
She acts careless or secretive about telling you where she is, and she doesn't tell you about her intentions.
5. Despite what she gives, she expects more from you.
She treats your efforts as though they are owed to her and continuously expects you to put up effort while providing little in return.
6. SHE BECOMES ABUSIVE
She might resort to harsh words or even physical aggression, displaying behavior that’s disrespectful and unfeminine.
7. She doesn't answer your calls or texts.
She shows a lack of concern for your feelings by taking her time or not bothering to respond to your messages.
8. She asks if you're a man.
She pushes your buttons to reveal your vulnerabilities and criticizes your skills or manhood in an attempt to make you feel insecure.
9. SOCIAL MEDIA IS MORE IMPORTANT TO HER FOR VALIDATION THAN YOU
ARE her lack of respect evident in the fact that she is more interested in getting attention from others online than in your love?
10. She doesn't care about intimacy
She seldom engages in the bedroom, exerting little effort as though she's simply waiting for it to be over.
On point! Those castigating him don't know what he's passing through in the hands of that (supposedly) sharp-tongued 'weaker vessel'. They are only seeing the effect and not the cause. They forget he CHOSE HER among thousands of females because he loved her.
Even God Himself didn't punish humanity for the apple Eve ate, not until the head of the family - Adam - ate it. That is how extremely God considered the man above the woman!
If only men understand their true worth, no woman will ever make him stumble.
Exceed15: If you have a wife who has bad mouth,don't beat her. Just send her back to the parent. There's nothing more shameful than this. And don't accept her back on time.
If his being asked to pay his ordinary 25k airport wrong-packing fine is what will kpai him, then I'm afraid he's not worthy to lead a boy scout platoon talk less of 250million Nigerians. 🤷
Highly educative. Perhaps a little descriptive video attached will speak volumes.

Every parent, caregiver, or even passerby fears this moment — a child suddenly gasping, silent, or struggling to breathe. It happens fast. No warning. No time to Google.
Choking is one of the leading causes of emergency situations in infants and young children. And the truth is simple: 👉 What you do in the first few seconds can determine whether that child survives.
This is not just medical knowledge — this is life-saving knowledge.
---
## ⚠️ How Do You Know a Child Is Choking?
A choking infant may: - Be unable to cry or make sound - Struggle to breathe or gasp - Turn blue (especially lips and face) - Suddenly become limp or unconscious
If the child is coughing loudly, do NOT interfere yet — coughing is the body’s way of clearing the airway.
But if the child is silent and struggling, you must act immediately.
---
## 👶 How To Help a Choking Infant (0–12 Months)
Stay calm. Panic wastes precious seconds.
### Step 1: Position the Baby - Place the baby face down along your forearm - Support the head and neck firmly - Keep the head lower than the chest
### Step 2: Give 5 Back Blows - Use the heel of your hand - Deliver 5 firm blows between the shoulder blades
### Step 3: Turn and Give Chest Thrusts - Turn the baby face-up - Place two fingers in the center of the chest - Push inward 5 quick chest thrusts
👉 Repeat the cycle: 5 back blows + 5 chest thrusts
---
## 🚫 What You Should NEVER Do - Do NOT shake the baby - Do NOT blindly put your fingers in the mouth - Do NOT delay action waiting for help
---
## 🆘 If the Baby Becomes Unconscious - Call for emergency help immediately - Begin CPR (if trained) - Continue until help arrives
---
## 💡 Prevention Is Better Than Panic Most choking cases can be prevented: - Avoid giving small hard foods (nuts, popcorn, grapes without cutting) - Keep small objects out of reach - Always supervise feeding
---
## ❤️ Why This Matters
As someone working closely with patients at Startimes Medical Centre in Benin City, I have seen how quickly situations can escalate — and how powerful quick action can be.
Many tragedies happen not because help wasn’t available, but because people didn’t know what to do.
---
## 📢 Final Word
You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life. You just need to know what to do — and act fast.
👉 Share this. Teach someone. Practice it. Because one day, it might be your child… or someone else’s.
And on that day, knowledge could be the difference between life and loss
