Kingsnairaland:
People should always respect Rev father Mbaka

Let pray the children are set free

MBAKA is a crim!nal

This one is a big lie, if he's not sleeping it could be as a result of overdose on his usual and not any insecurity, that man is heartless else he would have resigned and give way for someone more capable

Number 6 looks very interesting. But does that also help to confirm a good or bad offer? Sounds more like something to sell self rather than to detect dubious recruiters. Help clarify.

Smartguyboy:
Buy land
But instead of leaving your money in your bank account for low interest rate why not use assets management and make 16-18% ?

Can you pls shed more light on this, is this also within the bank?

I don tire for the effect on the war on global oil prices, let things go back to how it was before

Some of these people are just political jobbers.

essentialone:
What you’re seeing isn’t uncommon in Yoruba homes during *omugwo*, but the balance can slide into uncomfortable territory if it doesn’t shift after the omugwo period.

*Omugwo context:*
In Yoruba culture, omugwo is when the wife’s mother comes to care for the new mother and baby, usually for 3 months. The core job is: care for the baby, feed the new mother well, help her recover, teach baby care. The mother-in-law cooking and serving is part of that - Yoruba mothers often believe a nursing woman shouldn’t stress with housework.

*Where it can look “off”:*
The red flag here is the wife _never_ entering the kitchen, even on weekends, and the mother-in-law washing the husband’s and wife’s clothes too. Traditionally, omugwo isn’t meant to turn the mother-in-law into the permanent househelp. She’s there for the mother and baby. Laundry for the whole household + cooking for everyone + wife completely detached from the kitchen goes beyond normal omugwo.

*Two possible dynamics:*
1. *Cultural + exhaustion*: The new mum might be overwhelmed, relying heavily on mum, and it just became the pattern. Some Yoruba women also defer to their mum’s authority in the kitchen early postpartum.
2. *Role confusion*: If this continues months after omugwo ends, it can create imbalance and quiet resentment. The husband feeling “it’s strange too” is telling - he sees it but may not know how to address it without disrespecting his mother-in-law.

*What’s normal vs abnormal in Yoruba homes:*
- Normal: MIL cooks, cares for baby, teaches daughter, does baby’s laundry, eases daughter back in gradually.
- Abnormal red flag: MIL becomes the default wife for housework long-term, while the wife fully checks out of domestic roles and the husband goes along silently.

The fix is usually a gentle reset after omugwo: the daughter gradually takes back the kitchen, the MIL shifts to advisory + baby help only. If the wife never does, it breeds tension later between husband and wife, or husband and MIL.

when did Omugwo became a Yoruba thing ?

lucianohase:
They want Iran war to end but they don't want Ukraine war to end

That one id entirely up to Putin, nobody else

1vandragon:
Bat is a disaster in all ramifications.

He has only bettered the lives of himself and cronies.

Bat must be booted out of office in the next presidential election, let someone else try thier luck in 2027. If that person fails, he too will be shown the way out.

story for the gods

QuinQ:
Meaning what exactly?
Even a slow person knows that Trump would have bombed Iran to the stone ag[/b]es but for checks and balances inherent in the American system, that don't exist in Russia.

[b]This below is exactly what Trump would have done (and IRGC putting women and children would not have stopped him)

The only thing Trump would have done is bombed your butthole to stone age....

Try and reason objectively. This was an illegal war to start with. Iran has proven to be a very tough adversary, which Trump and his goons didn't plan for.
The only way Trump would have win this was a drop a nuclear bomb on Iran, which the USA did in WW2 when Japan refuse to surrender or give up. And trust me there is no way in hell that any of Trump goons will give an ok for to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran. This will basically start WW3. Than everyone will be dropping bombs on their adversary.

Now you mentioned bombing kids and children , well the USA already bombed a school full of school children. Anything more international more than that will equal war crime that Trump will be charged with...

Trump and his goons lost this war and there is nothing that can be done about that. Any further negations with Iran on nuclear program is now DOA Iran will now really I mean really start building nuclear weapons, which of course they have the right to. Israel has nuclear weapons,so why Iranian government shouldn't

This method doesn't require OTP verification? That has been my issue.

Cynthiaay:
I haven’t been able to activate mine yet but I know a few who have

It can only be activated at the bank
Go to the bank
Ask to reset the card pin using twig pos
It shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes

Pray before you go as their network has been bad which is why I haven’t done mine and the twig service isn’t at all Access bank locations.

Good luck

Hold her ooooo else she's gonna give Dickson a dirty slap 👋

Hahaha hahaha hahaha

The loud mouth Yinka should be thought a big lesson to deter others, his only job is insulting his elders like wike his oga

U still dey find job for Nigeria that is closing shop?

Penguin2:
What has happened to Datti?

Why has he been behaving like a jilted lover since Obi teamed up with Kwankwaso?

What else do you call that iof not "jilted"? Lol. Peter Obi gave him relevance. When he dumped him, he started losing his rlevance. He wants to remain relevant. He is looking for a candidate that will 'carry him and join bodi'

1Alex:
I used to believe that there are no jobs in Nigeria till I went to indeed and glassdoor, especially indeed. Thousands of jobs are posted every 10 minutes on indeed.

I believe there are still jobs esp tech related tasks. But seriously, when one is loaded with good skills, dollars based salary is the goal. I only just pity applicants looking into the Nigerian market. If its to gain experience to leverage and japa, fine. It is well.

I can't really blame Okoye for that goal...if anything, I'd have like to see Ndidi press out and put pressure on the ball.

Drop that phone and go prepare for your Common Entrance kid

Mention one thing that would have stopped Trump from totally destroying Iran. ONE thing

While others see this as a weakness and a setback, this is what the rule of law entails. This is democracy at its finest.

It takes a certainly level of eternal subservience to prefer Russia, China and the IRGC over the western governmental system. Where everyone has a voice.

IRGC supporters know more about what’s happening in the US than in Iran and they call Trump the tyrant.
They watch a leader and cleric seat kids and tell them to say death to certain people and when they’re old enough they should kill these people even if it costs them their lives.

The US should know this truth, if their partners in the Middle East don’t feel secured they’ll move to Russia or China. And Russia would do a better job on Iran without batting an eye lid. And when this happens lazy American would be crying about more than the price of gas at the pump. Already, NVIDIA lost all its market share in China, and it’s fighting to retain its place globally.

No be to just buy land, make sure a buy a land that has clean title that is in a good location, not the one in the thick forest in the middle of nowhere!

what's wrong with Forest land

They were more respected in the ADC and were given so many concessions but they began to think they were the prize. Obi himself might just get sabotaged by Dickson at the very last minute. It's not a coincidence that previously paranoid government hirelings like Keyamo and even Reno have stopped commenting about Obi. This was not the case when he was in the ADC. It was widely reported that the NDC will be Wike’s special purpose vehicle to field candidates in Rivers if he lost out in PDP and APC insists on Fubara. That was even before the court order that Brough the party into existence.

Vote buying cannot be eradicated as long people are hungry and poorer

Lena you think rich people don't sell votes?

SpaceX:
When you have a bad leader your CVs will definitely end up short, tinubu should resign and allow sensible human being to upgrade our educational system

Your progress in life is in jeopardy. The thread is about improving your resume so as to escape Tinubu, but you still made sure Tinubu has influence over your progress. It is well.

RealityKings1:
Why lock him up for revealing facts?
I hope you know you can find any image online and share it. He found it on online and shared it.

He will explain to us how he got unauthorized access to INEC backend server.

Go and look at that Ur so called image, it started with admin, meaning it is a restricted access.
He has a lot of explanation to make.

madridguy:
