Business / Re: Earning ₦200K Monthly In Nigeria Is Better Than £2000 In UK - Allen Onyema by Qurungu: 10:19am On Mar 28 |
helinues: True, Nigeria is probably one of the cheapest places to live on earth, but we are fast losing that to worrying circumstances. I think our main blessing is that we have food. The land is fertile. We have animals, and we have fish. But people can’t go to farms now, since the past decade. Dangerous communal clashes here and there that affect agriculture, e.g., Okuama. What has been happening since around 2008 (boko haram) is that we have been steadily losing this stability and advantage and people are seeking stability elsewhere. Our decline accelerated speedily over the past decade and still continues sadly. We can stem this and reverse our course if we approach our challenges sincerely and with resolve. We can. We should. We should. God bless Nigeria. |

Gwarimpa no get light o! Try Jabi, Utako or certain areas of Kubwa (like FO1, Arab Road, Army Estate). Someone suggested Mubushi. It makes sense because it may offer you proximity to your PPA. Kubwa/Gwarimpa might be considered as a bit far from the centre (15 to 25km from the centre). |

After traveling to a few places one thing I can sincerely say is that Nigeria is somehow one of the cheapest places to live on earth. From government education to fuel, to house rent, to food, things are relatively cheaper here. However, the past 7 and half years have been something else. 1 Like |

1. Strange country, totally different culture 2. This colors people matter that they are ramming down the throats of kids 3. Subtle racism (I now understand how to deal with this). The abroad also has a way of making you angry against Nigeria if you are not careful. It’s like this, because a person may never form roots that make them feel it’s home, or the society will always tell you it’s not home, a person may just get angry and vent it on social media as pretext for wanting to see Nigeria develop. All na wash, na because they no dey engaged for Yankee/Jand. That’s what drives a good number of our social justice warriors who live abroad and no longer see anything good about Nigeria. All na projection. 1 Like |

Properties / Re: What Is That Diabolical Sign To Look Out For While Renting An Apartment? by Qurungu: 6:32am On Dec 10, 2022 |
HenryWilliams: I once stayed in a house which I later dreamt of was a shrine. The night I had the dream, I’d been to Church the previous day and had hands laid on me for no reason. After I dream that dream, I still no get sense. My time in that house was marked by depression and stagnation. I will just be low on energy with no push to even go to work. Though I survived, I was not at the level I was supposed to be at. I came to my senses after some time (around 2 years after that dream!) and I moved out. The oga immediately offered me a 5-bed duplex as a gift but I no collect. I reason am say if I stay for that him house na there I go finish, as he go make sure say he finish his work for my head. These things are real. After my experience I developed this maxim “It is not everywhere that welcomes you to prosper”. Na so too, no be every woman or man carry blessing for their head. If your mind no settle, then don’t do it. Don’t try to reason am say Jesus loves everybody so I too have to love. It’s a trap. Jesus stayed away from some people too, to avoid harm to His life. Just don’t play God. Nowadays, I pray about everything as soon as I feel a discomfort in me. Person no fit talk am finish for here. Someone may be asking, “how can I know these things”? The Spirit of God will always try to reach us because of God’s love for us, even when we feel we don’t deserve His help. Usually He does it through that feeling of unease. Or you may also come across a thread like this. Generally, if you notice patterns of stagnation or loss, check well, you may be laboring under a curse. Thank you for this thread. 12 Likes 1 Share |

I was advised by my a friend to make a video while I kick him out but I'm not going to do, he's till the father of my child, and I don't want my children to grow up and find those videos honestly I just need emotional support while I go through this divorce.[/quote] Are you sure that guy is telling you the truth? Find out about the girl and the pregnancy first. You may be right, he may just want to wear you out with different tricks. You sound like you love him. Don’t be rash, assess the situation, talk with him and make a decision from what you find out. Something in me however thinks yours is a marriage worth fighting for.

Politics / Re: IBB Predicts Winner Of Nigeria's 2023 Presidential Election (Video) by Qurungu: 2:35pm On Sep 15, 2022 |
Maradona! All 3 candidates fit some aspects his description, but none of them have all of the qualities he mentions. Atiku and Tinubu are the politicians, they have friends everywhere, and can also be expected to communicate and recruit better because of this. Obi does not necessarily fit in to this “quality”. He seems not to have as extensive a network of political allies as the other two have. But of course, he currently rules the social media space with an almost unassailable lead. That has to count for something. All three can be said to favor capitalist economics, but Obi is seen as the least wasteful, least corrupt and most frugal of them. But excessive frugality can turn out be a problem in a democracy, as people expect money to circulate fairly freely. He is also seen as the most decent of them, with the least baggage of controversies to carry. And finally, only Obi of the three main candidates fit the age description IBB gave. So, who exactly is he talking about? Kwankwaso? Please say if you know. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Kashim Shettima's Emergence, Performance At NBA AGM Ruffles Feathers by Qurungu: 8:35am On Aug 24, 2022 |
oikirodah: I’m not sure you really know this north o! Shettima is Kanuri, a totally different tribe from Hausa and Fulani. Islam came to Nigeria through the Kanuri. They are a Yemeni-Chadic tribe. Dan Fodio tried, but couldn’t conquer them. They are also the tribe with the least numbers of Christians in the north. They call their leader “Shehu”, not “emir”. Kingibe is Kanuri. The late Abba Kyari was Kanuri as well. Hausa and Fulani have good numbers of indigenous Christians. The colonialists propped many Hausa and Fulani Christians up, like Dr Barau Dikko and Prof. Ishaya Audu. The Hausa man on the ballot is Kwankwaso. Yar’adua and Namadi aren’t Fulani as well. Don’t be emotional, as Shettima said, get your facts right. Cheers! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: PDP Crisis: How Ayu, Obaseki, Tambuwal Worked Against Wike’s VP Candidacy by Qurungu: 7:31am On Jul 25, 2022 |
Imortal001: You just dey yarn abeg. Obidients are just glad he is not on the ticket, just as you are that Osinbajo isn’t running. Wike would easily have overshadowed the entire campaign. Of the candidates put together, presidential and their running mates, he would have been the most vocal, most entertaining, most outgoing and most likely to say what people want to hear. He would have been the one to bash this government for its failings as well. As things stand now, non of the candidates will. He has been the most consistent anti-Buhari voice in government, he has admirers and he clearly will bring in more votes than Okowa. The election cycle would have been more fun if Wike and Osinbajo were in it, but politics happens. The coming elections are a toss up so every party needs all the help they can get. Ayu + Obaseki do not have the pull Wike has. It is self sabotage to have tossed him aside in the manner they did. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: APC Consensus Arrangement: Nobody Can Persuade Tinubu To Step Down - Associates by Qurungu: 7:46am On May 24, 2022 |
Samunique: One person I most blame for the emergence of Buhari is Tinubu, and I don’t trust him that much again because of his role in leading us along this path of poor leadership. Why? This same Tinubu who his fans/people etc claim is BRILLIANT, sent CIA a note before 2011 on why he would not support this same Buhari. He said Buhari is sectional, fanatical and such and would destroy Nigeria, all of which are happening now. Fast forward 2014 he saw a dark opportunity (there were also some religious undertones in toppling Jonathan) and supported a destroyer against his better judgment, just so he could ascend the presidency. He even clamored for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, but Buhari stood against it. There is no problem with a Muslim-Muslim ticket in a healthy Nigeria, after all these same Nigerians stood overwhelmingly behind MKO/Kingibe. But the times had changed by as early as 2011 and religious sensitivities were getting to their peak, thus any person who touted their nationalistic persuasions should have known by then that neither a Christian-Christian nor a Muslim-Muslim ticket would help. That only displayed the extent of his personal ambition. So enough of all these “I will carry everybody along trope”, it’s just tokenism. It’s likely that with Tinubu running Nigeria things may improve, howbeit marginally, but I believe that his antecedents exclude him in MY OWN opinion. He has no strong moral claim to the throne. Make no mistake, Tinubu without Buhari would at best be a regional political lord. He used the devil to amplify his influence. He has kept quiet with regards to the sorry state of the union/nation over the past few years. He has compromised so much, he is bent out of shape. I wish him well, but I also realize that he staked the future of Nigeria for his lifelong ambition, and so I won’t be surprised if “Nigeria” happens to him as well. PS: Don’t forget that in 2011 this same Tinubu chose to cut a deal with Jonathan instead of Buhari and benefitted massively financially. Maybe na the money he dey use now. 3 Likes |

[/b]Osinbajo vs Tinubu[b] PYO: How do you do? BAT: I am very fine Tinubu vs Aregbe Aregbe extends hand for a shake Tinubu is busy fixing his face mask and reeling from the cold “how are you” from PYO Aregbe extends pleasantries with Gbajabiamila. He again extends his hand to Tinubu and gets a tepid response this time with a somewhat absent minded “how are you”. Aregbe May have suffered from Tinubu’s exchange with PYO in which PYO maintained his backbone. No response from Aregbe to Tinubu’s how are you. He walks on. Aregbe gets warm hug from … Aregbe get warm greetings from Akande Tinubu has warm handshake and exchange with Fashola. Some mutual respect there. And some sense of safety by Tinubu in Fashola’s hands. Their hands are locked for the better part of 12 seconds Fayemi greets Tinubu with a bow. A cultural show of respect, but smiles and laughs loudly afterward, showing he has his own sense of worth. Sanwo-Olu shows Tinubu where his seat is. Osinbajo v Sanwo-Olu PYO: Jido Sanwo-Olu: Epele sir ___ Ma peyi (or something like that) PYO v Aketi Warm exchange PYO v others Formal reception generally BAT v others Hearty exchange generally. Dressing room banter kind of. Conclusion: Some politicians Tinubu raised may be standing up to him. Why? These are questions that need answers. 1 Like |

Family / Re: Am I Spoiling My 7-year Old Son? by Qurungu: 12:05pm On Mar 09, 2022 |
I was praying a few months ago and suddenly I felt like the Spirit of God telling me to bond emotionally with my kids. I got the message. Being a dad, I had priorly acted and likely thought (without me being conscious of it) that my only job was just to make sure my kids turned out right, and that the way to achieve that was through being the a disciplinarian. How wrong I was! I began to play more with them and do things I know they liked. I now want to make sure we have beautiful memories together. I knew that God wasn’t telling me not to discipline them, no. It’s just that in an atmosphere of emotional bonding, correction is taken in good faith. I also realized that day that if I didn’t bond with them, I will never be able to help them when they need help, because they’d have grown up thinking that I didn’t care, and so they’d never let me into their innermost struggles or joys for that matter. Bond emotionally with the kid, and correct him as needed. They way you’ve described your kid, if this goes on, he may have difficulty forming emotionally stable relationships which may lead to all sorts of problems and/or him being drawn to abusive people or him abusing others as the case may be. I really hope you get to read this. You are not alone in this, and you will win eventually, as you do things right. For all you know, other kids at school may be taunting him and you may then come across like them when you scold him at home. They may maybe be telling him hurtful things like encouraging him to be nasty at home. The way to short any of the above possibilities is to keep the door to his heart opened to you by being friends with him. That door must not be closed! And if you have issues with his dad, please keep them out of it and settle these issues when they aren’t there. Thank you, God bless you ma. |
