Unfortunately he will not see his son use that tripod on a new camera. He will not see his son get his first paying job after graduating. He will not see his son buy him a nice tie on Father's day. He will not see his son obtain a Masters degree or PHD. He will not see his son move out of the house into his own apartment as an independent man. He will not see his son introduce the woman he wants to marry. He will not see his son walk down the aisle. He will not see his son celebrate his 30th birthday. He will not hear the cries of his grand children. He will not witness his grand child's 1st birthday. He will not witness his grand child's first day at school. He will not witness his son gift him a brand new 2030 Mercedes Benz. He will not get buried by his son.

Instead, he will bury his son. Instead, he will turn his bedroom into a memorial. Instead, he will mourn and harbor guilt. Instead, he will question if he was over ambitious in involving his son in that segment. Instead, he may turn to alcohol to drown his sorrow. Instead, he may never move on from this tragedy. Instead, he may never forgive himself. Instead, he may hang himself from the ceiling fan.

No matter what has happened, may he find solace in knowing that his son died for a noble cause. May he find peace in appreciating his son's effort in bringing to light the the evil of terrorism slowing taking over Nigeria. May he find comfort in knowing that his son's death has shone a spotlight on the insecurity and extremism in our country. And if anything, may he find peace in knowing that his son died a martyr and he will never be forgotten. A life cut short so that Buhari and other government officials can finally take this issue of fulani herdsmen front and centre before we all face the same fate as Precious Owolabi.

The fat man is afraid of being annihilated by an angrier and focused Anthony Joshua eager to land a career ending blow on this fat hippopotamus. Anyone who watched the 1st match knows Anthony Joshua was playing around with this beach whale and now he thinks he's so good Anthony would need performance enhancing drugs to defeat him. Anthony Joshua should go ahead and agree to a rematch at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and reclaim his glory once and for all.

This is a blatant copy of Samsung galaxy note 9 carton cover.

See how broke Dbanj was.

I heard Peter Rufai is willing to come out of retirement if needed.

I will eat jollof rice with ponmo this afternoon just in case anyone would like to know.

They don't exist, they were all ghost beneficiaries.

Britain leaving the European Union will ultimately lead to their downfall. The EU provided economic and military cushions to wade off hostile Russia but now the Brits have to stand on their own.

What a sad end to an empire that once colonized 3/4 of the world and ruled the high seas.

Lol, for an easy course nobody cares about, now that's comical.

Trust any self reported safety record at your own peril. If they said the accident rate of ordinary okada is 60% how come theirs is just 0.2%, are they operating in a vacuum?

Just by mere looking at his picture, the man needed to retire. Happy retirement sir. Stay young and agile by dating younger women.

Yes volunteering beats staying at home all day frustrated and depressed. Volunteering gives you a purpose to wake up, take a bath and leave the house, doing so boosts your morale, ego and self esteem. Also volunteering might make you cross path with someone in a position to give you a job offer. And most importantly, volunteering looks good on your CV because potential employers see you as a dedicated person who would rather gain experience without pay than languish at home.

But besides volunteering and hopping from one job interview to another, you should try to think outside the box. Some of the apps we use today were created by teenagers just experimenting with silly ideas that became huge successes. I mean who would've thought that an app that creates 10 seconds videos that self destructs will be as wildly popular as it is today (Snapchat in the early days). Or the recent craze for tiktok the Chinese app that allows people to video themselves lip synching to songs would be the #1 most downloaded social media app in recent weeks? Look around you and create something, anything. I have a friend who's trying to create a Nigerian Gofundme type site where you can donate money for social causes, this is thinking outside the box.

When I finished school, I couldn't get a job so i started a dating/escort service named Rent-A_Cock. Needless to say it was a one man company run by me but it got traction. I advertised on social media and little by little I started getting female clients just looking for a guy to flirt with on whatsapp or over the phone. Premium packages involved me giving them massages or even posing as their boyfriends at social events. Super ultra premium services involved erotic details I cannot divulge online. But today, the company has grown to 30 employees in 5 states and and growing exponentially.

Moral of the story, I'm not saying you should become a male giggolo but staying home and doing nothing is the worst course of action for a jobless youth.

A visionair who was light years ahead of his time. He changed the landscape of lagos without making noise and without shoving the illusion of Mega City down our throats. Just a humble and pragmatic man who traveled overseas and brought back ideas to help the common man and changed lagos for the best.

God bless Alhaji Lateef Jakande and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

This is the same way Paul Walker died on the set of Fast and Furious. This isn't the 1990s when the likes of Jackie chan and Bruce Lee would actually act out crazy mind boggling stunt to our amazement. With the advancement in CGI and graphics tech, there's no need to subject humans to dangerous stunts and could cost them their life.

What annoys me most about these videos that involve so called "white" people is the fact that the foreigner is usually someone from wretched 3rd world countries like Lebanon, India or Yemen but to us, they are considered white. Still that doesn't change the fact that some of these diplomats believe they have total immunity to do whatever they like in Nigeria without repercussions. Why is he allowed to have a gun to begin with?

Now watch the video and see how calm the bystanders and policemen were. Had it been it was a poor Nigerian, he would've been beaten to pulp or lynched by the roadside. At the end of the day, this guy may not face any charges, one because he is a foreigner, secondly because he's a diplomat.

Daddy Freeze should shut up his mouth. Can he afford a Patek Philippe? Has he ever seen a picasso or van gogh painting in person? I totally dislike local twats who try so hard to seem sophisticated and knowledgeable to their ignorant fan base.

Otedola said his mind and has his own opinion, this silly freezer man is just quoting him to remain in the spotlight. He is the attention _whore of our generation.

Its time for these guys to pass on the torch to the youth. None of them is under 40yrs so how are they supposed to stay abreast with the the digital age?

I would rather see a healthy mix of older and younger ministers as a more diverse group brings about different perspectives and experiences.

With so many desperate _horny men, I think it's time I launch a Rent-A-Coochie service for male clients. My Rent-A-Cock franchise is booming and so many female nairaland clients can testify to my service, it's time to expand.

I will eat boiled yam with fried egg this morning just in case anyone would like to know.

It's time to institute a one child policy. There are far more Nigerians than there are decent paying jobs and opportunities. It's time to face reality and implement drastic measures or we will never address the issue of hunger and poverty. We can point fingers all we like, Nigerians have been hungry even before the time of Abacha.

That's why most people have rehearsals before the wedding to go over the important things. As a bestman your job is to stand next to the maiden bride. You will be asked to present the wedding ring in the alter and time for the reception you will enter the hall right behind the couple.

For an introverted person It may seem daunting at first but i assure you everyone's attention is mostly on the bride and groom. You are just there to give your brother confidence and help avert awkward moments. Being a best man also comes with its perks, you might be paired up with a hot bride's maid and you two might start dating afterwards. Your brother may give you a special gift. But most importantly, your brother will eternally remember what you did for him.

Avoid direct eye contact with the guests; make sure you drink a warm cup of tea to calm your nerves beforehand. Good luck to you.

Luxurious keke napep.

Innoson should immediately hire this guys to be their lead engineer.

They were right to confiscate the money. We use Naira in this part of the world and there's no reason why anyone should have $30,000 stashed up in their house if they aren't partaking in illicit activities.

Smart lady, she's using her God given assets to advertise her clothing line and other businesses. As a man who has always had an obsession for boobs since I was 7yrs old, I might actually patronize her men apparels. But I hope she has other means of brand awareness once she gets older and those mammary glands are facing south because fat is only cute when you are young and in your prime.

This lady just looks very fertile. Those boobs are mouthwatering even after having two kids. But truth be told American school system is designed very differently from our school system. The professors are understanding, some of the lectures are online especially for a graduate program and it's a society efficiently designed to enable multitasking. They can work and school because of the flexibility of their employers and the school program. Now this is not to take anything away from this beautiful young lady but it helps to put things in perspective.

I have a friend who used to be the last 5 every term while we were in secondary school, to my surprise James moved to America got his bachelors degree in nursing whose graduating valedictorian. He went on to get his masters degree and also graduated top of his class. And now dude is working on his doctorate degree as a psychiatric nurse practitioner where hes expected to make easily $180k per annum. He achieved all these things whole also working two jobs.

Moral of the story, foreign schools make it easy to actually achieve your dreams while also balancing work and life at home. We will get there some day.

The empowering song praises brown-skinned women like Lupita Nyong'o/

There is nothing brown about Lupita Nyongo, the woman's skin colour is black and there's nothing wrong with it but all this hype around her is pretentious at best. That's the same way they made her the most beautiful woman in the world a few years ago. There's no way a bald headed woman like this can be the most beautiful woman in the world, it's just an attempt by white people to make blacks feel like they are beautiful but as always, they choose the darkest, baldest and most masculine looking black women.

I don't understand the purpose of this challenge. What is the essence of posting your pictures for a challenge when you already post those same pictures every single day on social media? Should white people also start their own challenge? All these things are unnecessary and it's just an attempt to make black people feel proud and beautiful but do we need constant validation of our looks?

I would much rather see a Malaria or AIDS challenge that would bring about donations and social reforms in tackling the two most devastating ailments of our continent.

This whole Busola Dakola vs COZA case has ignited a kind of "me too" movement where women all over Nigeria are standing up to rapists and men in high places who use their influence to molest women. While this is a commendable development and we should all encourage the expurgination of abusive men everywhere, we shouldn't do so at the detriment of good men.

Nothing in her post suggests that she was molested by the Male doctor. She didn't want the scan performed by a male doctor and a female doctor carried out the scan. So why would she still accuse the man of molesting her or having bad intentions? It doesn't make any sense. Maybe the man overreacted by asking her to leave a government hospital of which he is just an employee, but after being accused of such an embarrassing act probably in the presence of other patients and his staff, who wouldn't also overreact?

Everyone is looking for their own Dakola moment to shine but we should always apply common sense to separate the truth from falsehood.

You are allowed to dance for Jesus just as you are allowed to sing praises of his name. You can dance galala, skelewu, azonto, shaku shaku for all you care, Jesus loves all forms of praise and worship. What isn't allowed is any dance that is sexually suggestive such as twerking or grinding next to the opposite sex.

A true believer should be ready to face persecution while preaching the word of God. If you start preaching the word if God and non-believers start throwing stones at you, you should continue to preach and praise the Lord's name even if you are stonned to death.

God is great.

I will have pap with akara this morning just in case anyone would like to know.

SMH. An abusive man will never change, Mercy Aigbe is currently in the Reconciliation stage of the viscious cycle of abuse. During the Reconciliation stage, the abuser will beg for forgiveness and promise never to hit the abused again. The abuser might spoil the abused with gifts and whatnot just to win the abused over. After the Reonciliation stage comes the Calm stage. They both live happily as if they are in honeymoon, but this only lasts for a little while before advancing to the Tension Building stage and ultimately the Incicdent stage where the abuser strikes again. And the cycle repeats itself.

She should never have moved back with him, she may not survive the next abuse.
