Hardest bit for me is the emotional and psychological bit. Sometimes when I want to make medium to long term plans I am discouraged because I keep asking myself - will you be here to reap the benefits
May the almighty God, whom nothing is impossible, visit you and heal you completely today In Jesus' name Lk 1:37
SmartPolician: The thing is that tech can absorb so many people because it's an enabler - it's used to drive other industries. But tech is most likely experiencing its last boom before artificial intelligence renders techies useless.
I'm forecasting this will happen in the next 15 - 20 years. AI research labs are now paying their workers handsomely because those employees are building projects that will take their place. Some pay as high as $150 per hour while others pay $500k per annum.
AI is also tech bro. AIs are not aliens. Tech people create AIs . The only thing is certain tech jobs will be handled by AIs created by same tech in the same tech eco system. Na the same family dem be.
RetroviralS: I honestly didn’t know what Bola was carrying. The emotions. The pain.
I thought I knew my wife like my palm. Her routines, how she woke before everyone, how she remembered birthdays, church, school fees, family obligations. Bola was steady in a quiet way. Strengthy, but she didn’t announce it.
What I didn’t know was that she had been carrying something heavy alone, and my questions only made it heavier.
I started noticing changes. She was always “stepping out.” Too many hospital visits that didn’t add up. Pills tucked away too carefully.
I asked questions because that’s what a husband does, right?
“Where are you going?” “Why are you hiding medication?” “Why do you look scared every time I ask?”
She never fully answered. I thought she was stressed, tired, or just private. I didn’t know every question from me felt like a threat.
Then one night, she collapsed in the kitchen. Fear replaced suspicion.
At the hospital, doctors talked about pneumonia, immunity, numbers I didn’t understand. They said her body had been under strain for a while. I sat beside her, watching her struggle to breathe, and realized how much I hadn’t seen. I was broken because she meant everything to me.
Later, a counselor asked me, “Can you join a session?” That’s when the truth came out.
Bola told me she had HIV. She was scared I would leave, scared I would blame her, scared the story would leak and make her a laughingstock. She stopped taking her medication not because she wanted to, but because hiding was unbearable.
I went numb. Then I cried. Not because she was sick, but because she had been sick and alone.
I asked questions. I listened. I learned fear can stop treatment. Stigma can be deadlier than illness. Silence can look like strength until it almost kills someone.
The session was through Retroviral Solutions (RVS). They didn’t rush us. Didn’t shame her. Didn’t treat me like an enemy. They explained how discreet medication and support worked for people like Bola, living in homes where disclosure felt unsafe.
Slowly, things changed. Bola started her medication again. I started accompanying her. Conversations were awkward at first. Her health improved, strength returned, viral load became undetectable.
And something else healed — trust.
I still think about how close I came to losing her, not to HIV, but to fear and a system that doesn’t always protect privacy.
Now I know: care doesn’t fail because people are careless. It fails when they feel unsafe.
RVS didn’t just help my wife. They taught me how to show up better. Love isn’t just staying. It’s listening before fear speaks.
I didn’t know what Bola was carrying. Now I carry it with her, openly, together.
This actually looks to me like just a content. Truly because a few things don't add up here. Though a nice piece
wunmi590: Good day Nairalanders and football ⚽️ lovers,
Just as the topic, you are just starting your career and you were offered these two contract, to pick one, which will you go for and why?
Let's discuss
Madrid . Within the two years, Omo igo make sure I score pass Ronaldo and Messi, in fact if I hold ball I no gree pass to anyone until I score. After one year al nassir go increase their offer by double then igo jump in. Sharp man
Faith0: Omo none is good,official banks are not cool anymore, opay is taking over, Once big money enter access bank then my bank will suddenly have issues
O whattt? What did i hear you say? Opay is not a bank mind you. Dont say i didnt warn you.
The tournament was marred by poor and biased officiating. And tomorrow we Africans will be yelling why cant FIFA use African referees for so and so ? Why would FIFA do that when our referees are corrupt, lack integrity , lack the willpower to do their jobs right without fear or favour? Dear CAF, for your info, going forward, if Nigeria is involved in any CAF-based tournament, never you use any of the referees from these two countries to officiate our matches 1. Ghana 2. South Africa Why? Because they always see us as rivals and enemies.
bewla: Ok settle this matter with money Give the girl money let her and her money no this just to help them start life You are not the fathe

Money de finish and one day, dem go come back. No give anybody shishi, tell them the result shows you are not the one. make the woman carry her hustle go next door. abi na crime say u dey rich?
KobolanderSegun: Me I am Laughing..... In 2026 men are still prioritizing Female Virginity as a yardstick for marriage ? In 2026 !!!
What about Female Intelligence, Female Wisdom, Female Comportment, Female Financial Literacy ? They are not even looking to see whether she can cook. But No she must be a Virgin.
I cannot speak for everyone but no wonder Africa is so backward when you place so much energy on a state God created but you will not look for attributes that come with self development.
Yes, all other things you listed can be learnt but been a virgin can't be learnt and can't be bought. It's precious , it's honourable and it's a huge pride. No vex, we go still dey search for virgins till beyond 2090000000000 years
You are not the one to tell us that. Let fed government come out and refute it. Is it today you are getting to know that this government is a government of Cut and Paste?
doneyor: The Rivers political crisis is driven by the fallout between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara, whom Wike accuses of betrayal. The conflict has also damaged Wike’s once-close relationship with former governor Dr. Peter Odili, despite Wike’s past public vow never to hurt Odili or his family.
The throwback video below captures the moment Wike publicly vowed that God should never allow him to grow if he ever caused Dr. Peter Odili or his family cry.
North just de carry south de play. release their own, but insist your own with more minor crimes must face the wrath of the law. No wahala. North smart no be small.
seunmsg: Less than 10% of Nigerians pay personal income tax. In fact, only those in well structured paid employment get to pay. Even at that, over 90% of them don’t pay up to 30%.
Again, it’s sad to see people ignorantly thinking their personal income taxes goes to FG. No, your taxes goes to your state government fully. Tinubu gets all the blame for the tax reform while state governors take every personal income tax. Even the VAT, states take 85% while FG takes 15%. Nigeria is probably the only country where the central government doesn’t take a dime from payroll tax. In US, Germany etc, FG takes the lion share from payroll tax. Not in Nigeria.
It's Tinubu we know. Stop finding who to blame, something that is always the flagship of APC government. When he came to us to campaign, he didnt tell us he will be referrering us to our governors. If he knows what to do to get the governors to do the right thing, let him do it, otherwise he is a failure. He told us during the campaign that the buck stops on his table. Let him work the talk and stop pointing fingers at some of the governors he rigged into office to support his administration and party.
Exactly my point. People are quick to rush and tell you so so so country pays higher taxes, but the citizens see what they enjoy with such taxes, but in Nigeria after all the taxes, you will see nothing. Suffering from Jan to Dec until another election promises that will never materialize.
malware: IPOB are Christian terrorists, I have seen them beheading a military couple. They even removed the innocent woman's vagina. If that is not terrorism, I dont know what is.
Me I don't know who ipob is neither did I watch their videos,you that said you watched them were they mentioning the name of jesus while doing it like you people do it and call Allah akkubarr ? So anybody that is not a Muslim to you is a Christians? Are you that shallow minded and primitive?
malware: It's actually supposed to be Christian terrorists, not militia. You go cry tire.
una wei be terrorists de find weting to console una say christianity don de get wetin dem de accuse una of abi? So una go just create some lies abi? keep consoling yourselves. Christianity has no extremism. But to feel better, you can believe anything to help una get better.
Lol, which one is christian militia again now? wetin person no go hear online? Does Christianity have provision for militia ? am just hearing this for the very first time . Abeg, Mr. Quack Reporter, carry this your slowpoke story away from here
Yea , my Bois have done it again. Even though their allowance were delayed they went ahead to put in their best. Bravo guys. We go bring the trophy home again
Richtaiwo: Contrary to the drama he’s trying to stage, nothing, absolutely nothing, is easy anywhere in the world. Life is not a roadside promo where currencies are exchanged with vibes and confidence.
So, since he’s proudly waving that bundle of naira and announcing it equals 800 cedis, perhaps he should also enlighten us, how long did it take him to earn it? Or is he implying that the same sweat that coughs out N800 in Nigeria will magically summon 800 cedis in Ghana?
Yes, a thousand dollars today is roughly N1.5 million. Very impressive. But let’s not insult basic reasoning, is the effort required to earn N1,000 the same effort needed to earn $1,000? Is it equally likely that someone will casually gift you N1,000 the same way an American will casually gift you $1,000? If that were true, birthdays in Lagos would look like Wall Street bonuses.
We constantly hear of people earning $2,500–$3,000 monthly abroad. Fair enough. But has anyone ever heard of someone in US, same job category, same skill level as Nigeria, earning $300,000 monthly in the US? If yes, please provide evidence, not vibes.
Yes, the naira is weak. Nobody is disputing that. But turning every exchange rate comparison into a circus act is unnecessary exaggeration. Currency value is not a comedy skit, and economics is not impressed by social media mockery. Let’s tone down the theatrics and apply a little sense, just a little.
Meanwhile, Ghana redominated its currency not quite long ago. I know most don't even understand what that means.
Make Una just de console unaselves . Wetin the guy talk na true. If U don dey visit those African countries before de change money and you know how e take be that time, den U go now, U no go write all those consolation epistle Wei you write. Call a spade a spade Una govt no get a clue of how to manage the economy. Leave stories jare.
