I don’t believe this story oga. Tell me another thing. The second story of SARS believable though.

So whose photo did he post there and why would he tarnish his image by saying he went to prison if he never did? And it's an old moniker

thomas2024:
Oga, you’re an alternate moniker. There is nothing you wan tell me. Na you be the OP allegedly😸

You Nairalanders don't think. Don't you think mods know alternate monikers just by knowing IP addresses?

Onewazobia:
No one can prove their own justice by their words alone.

Meaning?

Naustine:
Wrong spelling it's "oso ahia".. it's a word used to refer to middlemen in sales

Yeah, a guy already explained it comprehensively. Thanks

Lanretoye:
This one is a writer,you tried sha…it was looking real until the judge came to the prison frequently and told you that you are a writer,gave you computer to operate and all that bullshiiis…

The judge visited the prison once. What prevents a judge from visiting prison? Who's picture do you think OP posted with the story?

thomas2024:
You Dey mind the cock and Bull story. Guy codedly run subtle advert for Nairaland front page, lol😂

You think this below is also cock and bull story?

Wow! You could make this a thread since you can name names - unlike OP

bigfoot79:
Who is the judge (Magistrates) ? We need to know who to celebrate, because of he was bad, his name would be everywhere

He may get him in trouble by naming him - being that he was promising prisoner light sentence. Also you don't know if they had a little gay romance going

SisterAnn:
Not all of them pretend to own shops.
Anyone who takes you into a shop that doesn't belong to him, you will quickly notice that.

Besides, if the price you are offered for a good is not okay by you, you can always walk away.

But these oso ahia guys would still be following you to take you to another place. They don't easily give up.

Wrong. With some you can never guess. They'll be ordering the shop owner around as their boss, send him on errands

CodeTemplar:
Help me carry this old one away I’ll follow you I said yes he’d never let me down before.

The gate was heavy iron real work to carry. I was sweating, focused on not dropping it, when someone tapped me from behind. I turned, annoyed and the next thing I heard was ‘YOU’RE TAKING THIS WHERE?!’ I spun around to point at the man who hired me but he was GONE. Vanished into thin air.
The man should be at the front leading you. If he is the one directing you from the back, his voice should be so clear n audible that you shoulsnt have lost track of him.

You are saying there could be more to the story. Well, not saying the story may not be 100% accurate but George Bernard Shaw said this below and he was no fool

GeneralOuki:
Ọsọ ahia ( literal translation is "market run" . These people don't have or own any shop in the market but they know where everything is sold. They meet customers, ask them what they want and take them to the shops where the items are sold. And when the transactions are finalised between the customer and the vendor, they collect their commission from the shop owner. The practical translation is market hustlers, they're in every single market in Nigeria.

Charleschidera:
The correct pronunciation or spelling is 'Ọsọ Ahịa'

Ọsọ Ahịa (or Ịgba Ọsọ Ahịa) literally means “running around in the market.” It refers to the activity of moving through a busy market to find and attract customers, often by speaking to many people and encouraging them to buy goods.

Practically, in traditional Igbo commerce it describes market agents or hustlers who don’t own a shop but bring customers to sellers or help sell goods in exchange for a share of the profit.

Oh okay, as in "olusare oja".
Thaks a lot for your erudite and comprehensive explanation

What is 20m Naira??
People are betting and losing real money and you're talking N20m!

Judolisco:
he is locking shops and not killing people... someone in faraway Finland asked a whole region not to go out on Monday and all of you complied... No be juju bdat?

No be juju at all. They were looking for excuse to start taking Mondays off

Putindbutt:
Yu will know that these lazy ones are being fed at home by their wives. They would go to church service on same Monday, some will go to clubs but to open shop for business, mbanu.

Ask them if Abia the home state of Nnamdi Kanu are doing sit at home on Mondays.

Anyways, those who Soludo locked up their shops, hopefully, they will go and get food from Nnamdi Kanu.

Lazy ones? Don't you think it is a bit cruel that traders have only one day off per week? And that one day is taken up by church and social engagements. When do they have time to take care of themselves, their health? They really do NEED Mondays off

Saleslourd:
I swear you are saying nothing but the truth.

Most will never plead guilty then end up spending years in prison.


It might interest you to know we keep phones and I still contact my Inmate I bonded with that time.

One of them got life sentence manslaughter.

Life sentence! OMG! Probably innocent person too!
Did any prisoner or male guard try to sex you. I saw a video of a Kenyan prison where some of the male inmates acted as females and were paid by other male inmates for sex!

JoeEeL:
That is because nigerian women are drawn to white skin, especially eastern people. Do women just allow easy penetration for people they dont like?

U better relax on this one cos I know what Im saying. I just no wan talk too much. I got a visitor's visa and once traveled to one of these western countries and some of these my female friends suggested we do marriage contract. When I reminded them its a visitor's visa, the next thing was that I should find a white man for them. Like that is d very next thing. And not 1, not 2, not 3...

I got chatting with one and d very next thing she told me was I will like to bear white kids. When I was out I know d number of mixed marriages I saw and d region who does it d most. In fact they are deliberate on this. Wait are u joking? U dey social media at all? During xmas, don't u see d pride when they are displaying their white spouses and kids? Have u entered social media interracial dating groups before? Go and see ur women do there. They even make the first moves. I know say u go say 90% of them are male scammers. Dey play. I get one Esan girl like that. She been dey even list to me mobile apps naija women have to catch abroad fish, especially white men. Even ur gf fit dey inside one of those apps and be hiding it from u with an app lock. Dey play 🤣🤣

Are you ok? A common black village girl will refuse to sleep with a high and mighty white magistrate, general, or bishop that blacks bow to all day long?

Also see below. Do you see anyone say Nigerian women?

Saleslourd:
This happened 3 years ago bro! I was 19 then, now I'm 22 And thank you for the frontpage shout would be amazing to reach more people with this story🖐️

Inspiring story.
You are one of the extremely few lucky ones. There are people same exact thing happened to who'd spend years in jail

Saleslourd:
Ikoyi Prison was hell. We were 364 men in one cell sleeping side by side like sardines, no space to move.

364 men in one room! People talk about hell not knowing some are already in hell right here on earth!

Saleslourd:
I was told it means something like "the ones who move around making things happen basically hustlers who don't sit still waiting for opportunities. Not 100% sure of the exact translation, but that's what we called ourselves back then when we were running around Yaba making our money!

Oh, ok. I now know "oso yia" means hustler in Igbo
Mynd44, OAM4J, nlfpmod frontpage things.

How long ago this happened?

Ehm, see below

Please Igbos what does "oso yia" mean?

budaatum:
My regret is not reading Heidegger sooner. Thankfully, it's a regret I can unregret.

What's your big takeaway from Heidegger philosophy?

StoryHaven:
Loving my wife, respecting her, and always saying "okay" to all her demands because I always wanted to make her happy.
I later learnt that women dont respect and love a peace loving man. Soft men are always a prey in women's hands.

Speaking from experience.
I learnt it in a very hard way.

It's all good all the same.

Just don't repeat it (which I know you still will - a simp is a simp!)

theforemost:
Allowing that my sister-in-law to live with us. Nothing wrong happened but it eas a VERY VERY VERY NARROW escape. But am receiving punishment like i did.

Are you sure you didn't, even fingering?

ikemesit4477:
Strong man! Good to see you again, it's been a while!

Didn't even notice that was saynotocultism.
Still reading and learning from that his thread

Emeskhalifa:
What do the Morden men gain in marriage?

Maid, nurse, cook, sex partner, baby maker, home maker, mother, therapist, makes u appear responsible (we know u r not), sounding board, etc

amaks:
Don't blame yourself too hard. Some might be a function of how your parents raised and ruled the house.
Dont live in regret or self pity, you can correct and change your life now. You have the power ,all you need to do is to decide.

But if you have the power how then will prophecies come true?

Murketeer:
This is hilarious … but you don’t look like someone who would join activities like that … you look like an introvert

You really think this below is her? Were you born yesterday?

BalogunIdowu:
He who marries a good wife enjoys his life, he who marries otherwise becomes a philosopher

At least give credit to Philosopher Socrates whom you quoted. See it below.


His wife's name was Xanthippe
Key Details About Xanthippe:
Relationship: Married to Socrates, lived in Athens.
Personality: Often described in ancient literature (e.g., by Xenophon) as difficult or ill-tempered.

COMRADE 😯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's the funniest part of her post🤣😂
"I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade"
I never knew becoming a comrade.is a thing!😂🤣

Taich:
The reason why you think 4yrs is too short is because you have not lived in a society that values time, labour and money. From what you wrote, I can guess certain things about your life. Things that can be done within three years are endless. We can have a steady power within 2years. Upgrade our schools and hospitals, have an effective security apparatus, make National orientation agency functional. The list is endless and we have the means and capability to do that. Do you know that in 2025, over Sixty thousand babies died in Nigeria at birth? Do you that number will be halved if we have portable water and soap in our hospital? You have internet, use it more productively.

But how can you do all that when your politicians are focused on amasssing as much bribery and kick-back money as possible to win the next election and bribe judges if necessary.
Winning re-election is job number one by far, NOT governing!

Gerrard59:
Then he looks like an AA. I have met one like that - Nigerian bred - but facial and body appearance looks like someone who was bred in the US. Japanese presume him to be an AA. But this feature is not common amongst East Africans, who also form a significant Black African population in Japan. Thus, it is easy to tell who is AA and Black African.

About successful AA men rarely marrying AW. It is that racial hierarchy I mentioned, plus where they reside in the US. Also, Black men will prefer Black women. Is there another reason you think otherwise?

I mean very successful AA men rarely marry AA women (AFTER becoming successful). I think it is generally due to the bossiness of AA women (except in the South - again generalizing).
BTW Oshiomhole wasn't marrying Edo women either, who elected him governor and senator!

Flangelo12:
Not "They".

Some do.

Same in Africa.


Majority are still wallowing in low self-esteem as found on this topic, neither do they have the aptitude to elevate their minds.

The editorial "they" that implies AVERAGE member of the group. There are always the total failures
