Sososo:
But I just gave you an example.

Do you even know that so many women are the bread winners of their homes?

Many families are being run by both the man and the woman.

The SIT@HOME/TROPHY WIVES era is over.

Stop saying 'many women'. How many women? What is the percentage? Abi nor be the same society wey all of us dey?

AutoChick4U:
Go for a lady with millions na. I'm sure ur grandfather didn't look out for how many farmlands ur grandmom got before marrying her. Boys of this age sef

I'm sure you were still running around with pant and bathing outside when I was rounding off my university education. If you don't know, don't talk.

Ayjay44:
What is 500k or u mean 500k monthly earnings?

No. I mean having 500k and above in your account before talking of marriage. That money is small in this economy, but I'm looking at it for a start.

Cassandraloius:
You're very correct! I agree 💯

500k is even just for a start.

Nigerian men compromise too much in relationship and marriage. A man who is educated and financially stable can marry an uneducated and financially handicapped girl but the reverse can never happen. Only in the dream or Nollywood movies can a financially stable and educated Nigerian lady marry a broke and uneducated man.

If Nigerian men follow the same pattern women employ in relationships, then many women will clock 45 in their parents' homes.

Ladies should have up to 500k in their bank accounts for a start before they dive into marriage. At least, such can serve as backup so that they don't depend on their partners for every little thing they want. And they should also be working or doing business. No man deserves a liability as a wife. If you don't have up to 500k and above, then go and work or start a trade and leave marriage alone. You are an adult and not a toddler that should be spoonfed.

Don't crucify me. It's my opinion.

ActiveFarms:
Excellent reasoning..



Some time ago, a Nigerian woman got huge donations from members of the public for cooking and taking care of her husband, because she didn't want the husband to eat from his female colleague. Mind you, she cooked for her own husband, not for orphans or homeless people. Imagine Nigerians donating to a woman who cooked for her husband!!! These same Nigerians will never drop a kobo to encourage a young talented citizen who has invented something useful.



God Bless You !

Thanks a lot.

I have been pondering on this for some time now. I have observed that young talented and innovative people in our society are usually neglected and none of these socialite, celebrities, wealthy folks, business moguls, social media influencers, etc care to support them in their innovations. I mean, I have seen young people invent things and got no financial support to advance their innovations. The ones that can access opportunities to travel out have since left the shores of Nigeria, while those who cannot afford the cost have had their dreams destroyed or suspended indefinitely.

Some days back, I read how a meat pie seller got millions, house, and other kinds of support. In as much as I have no hard feelings towards him, I would really like to know what special talent he has because for me, I see none. What he does has no relative effect on our economy and the socio-economic life of the society. This goes a long way to show that most black people in this part of the world render help just for self gratification and recognition and not for the sake of mankind.

How many celebrities, social media influencers or members of the public would give material support to a lad that has invented a useful machine in Nigeria? Your guess is as good as mine. We fail to realize that encouraging young people like this can in turn encourage more young people which can boost industrialization, science and technology.

We can create a better society by paying more attention and giving more support to causes that can enhance education, innovations, science and technology and industrialization.

Nigerians promote too much mediocrity and run after unnecessary recognition.

An accident occurred on Friday evening in the Emene suburb of Enugu East local government area, Enugu State, resulting in the deaths of three passengers and leaving two others critically injured.

SaharaReporters learnt that a heavy-duty truck carrying laterite collided with a mini bus at Orie Emene Junction around 7pm.

The mini bus, carrying seven passengers and the driver, was travelling from Old Park to Emene when the incident happened.

Although some passengers managed to jump out, three were crushed to death, and two others sustained severe injuries.

Eyewitnesses attributed the accident to the truck driver's actions, questioning what could have caused him to lose control, as there was no apparent speeding or brake failure.
The incident has raised concerns about road safety and the need for responsible driving practices.

"We cannot even believe what happened here this evening. It is still inconceivable because this is a busy junction. Although the current administration has removed all the bumps the previous administration puts on the road to checkmate speeding, the truck was coming to the junction from the Adoration road which has some obstacles before getting to the junction," one of the eyewitnesses, who simply identified himself as Okechi Michael stated.
He added, "Before approaching the junction the truck crossed railway line just about a pole to the junction. So the truck wasn't on speed and it couldn't have been brake failure because the driver just crossed the rail line and rammed into the bus.

"The police have arrested the driver of the truck, I hope they will not collect money from the construction firm and let him go. The truck driver needs to be thoroughly examined and charged for manslaughter or first degree murder. These three passengers he killed with two others still critical need justice."

An Air Force personnel who participated in the rescue effort efforts, decried the incident wondering what might have gotten over the truck driver.

If you believe this, you will believe anything.

Music legend Mike Ejeagha, at the impressive age of 94, has achieved a remarkable milestone by entering Apple’s Top 100 Songs chart, 41 years after the release of his iconic track.

The song, Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche, is a traditional Igbo folklore that tells the story of an elephant and a tortoise released 41 years ago. It becomes the oldest song of all time to appear on the charts.

The resurgence of Ejeagha’s song is largely thanks to Nigerian comedian Brainjotter, who created a viral dance routine that brought new attention to the classic track.

The dance quickly caught on, leading to a renewed interest in Ejeagha’s music.

Adding a personal touch to this success, Brainjotter visited Mike Ejeagha to celebrate the achievement and showed his appreciation by presenting the legend with a generous cash gift of 2 million naira.

This heartwarming story not only highlights the enduring appeal of Ejeagha’s music but also demonstrates the power of modern social media to revive and celebrate timeless art.

As the song continues to gain popularity, it’s clear that Mike Ejeagha’s legacy remains strong and influential.

Hi Dad

I don't have a son that I don't know of.

Kids born in this millennium will not realize what this stuff is. They will think it is blue garri? Do you still remember this detergent that was very popular in the 80s and 90s?

This viral video shows a female student of the Department of Mass Communication, Delta State University dancing outrageously during the department's award day/departmental party. She even disregarded the presence of her lecturers.

Someone was speaking at the background of the video that the show she put up was embarrassing.

Here we are today. People don't even talk to themselves. Someone will be your friend on Facebook but both of you don't relate when you see yourselves on the road.
