This is crazy.17.8billion to build a fly over in a state where people are living in abject poverty.
I can build the following with 17.8b with the help of volunteers;
100 libraries. People will volunteer, foreign organizations will donate books
100 community health centers handling simple surgery like gunshots, accidents, primary health care
5 air ambulance Helicopters to take Ekiti people from accident scene with average 5mins response time
install solar powered satellite Cctv cameras &gps receiver on every street to monitor crimes
200 drones for night security.A taser enabled drones.The drone itself can chase armed robbers.Tase them till security agent comes for arrest
Organized a world class and well armed digitalized vigilante group.
Use some cash to lobby rich Ekiti people to invest in 50k acres Agriculture and 1000 Megawatt electricity
Organize secret agents group that will monitor corruption.bug state reps phone, intrude their laptop,their emails. bug anything buggable. By the time we got 10 scape goats,people will sit tight. I know this is illegal to intrude people's privacy but we gat to do what we gat to do.
17.8b can achieve all those and I need 80hrs compulsory volunteer work from every Ekiti worker. Consequently, For every worker to retain their job,they have to volunteer 40hrs every year. I will be having free 4million hrs to keep the game running.
Too easy to fix a state or country. We need people with passion and empathy.The technology is there already. Just copy and paste.shekina
If you are not sick,you don't need hospital. Thean I s sick.That's why he's in Church.
This man needs help. Addiction is a bad thing o. it's no respecter of age,status or color. If anyone here is fighting an addiction,pls open up. Seek for help. You can't heal some addictions by yourself.
Zidane has stepped down as Real Madrid manager following a brief spell of unprecedented success as a first-time coach.
The Frenchman, a World Cup and Champions League winner as a player, took over from Rafael Benitez mid-season in January 2016 and steered Madrid back on course to win their 11th European Cup.
Zidane helped Madrid become the first team in 40 years to win three consecutive European Cups and the first in the Champions League era, marking him out as one of club football’s most successful coaches less than three years into his managerial career.And yet the 45-year-old former Ballon d’Or announced on Thursday morning in a surprise press conference at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground that he would not be continuing as the club’s manager.
“I have taken the decision to resign my post,” he said.
Yahoo boys kill more than robbers. White people easily commit suicide. Most of these guys that yahoo boys ripped off commit suicide. What makes your Nigerian fellow different from Oyinbo? When you are 65 with low energy, will you be happy to lose all you worked for in just a day.
sobmos: We all know that yahoo yahoo is bad. It’s taking money from hard working people and destroying their lives,giving them emotional breakdowns.
But we have to look at it from another angle, I’m not in support of Yahoo, neither am I against it. I’m not against it because the Government has failed us the masses.
Yahoo is a way of liberating oneself from the shackles of poverty. I know several yahooboys that are employers of labor today. I know several yahooboys that are the breadwinner of their family.
I’m against yahooboys that scams locally, scamming your fellow Nigerians, I’m totally against that. If you must scam, scam the white folks.
I’m against yahooboys that goes to club and squanders thousands and millions of naira on drinks just to show that they’ve “arrived”. It doesn’t make any sense .
I know a yahooboy that owns several mobile phone outlets, several businesses, doesn’t attend night clubs and the night life is definitely not for him. He’s married with kids. This guy and several others relies on yahoo yahoo to survive .
If we scold yahooboys , let’s also remember the Nigerian economy,unfavorable standard of living, made the boys do what they do today.
They’re the lesser devils , instead of kidnapping , murder and armed robbery, these boys chose to scam the white people.
If I’m to choose between an armed robber and a yahoo boy . I’ll gladly go for the lesser devil( yahoo yahoo).
Why do you guys think trousers don't defend cold. Trousers defend cold. With skirt, cold breeze can escape into your body and private part cos of the space in-between your legs but with trousers no way.
If you love yourself, don't try skirts in a windy, cold region. A deeper life member visited her son abroad and refused to wear trousers. she was disgraced on the street one day when wind suddenly carried her skirt. Everybody saw her under wears.
We are not talking about those Nigerian cold. Talking about -15 degree Celsius. Below freezing point.
Queenslary: because of what? cold? lol please delete this, don't let the younger generations see this lol they will be ashamed I swear.
I don't see anything wrong in what Bishop said .He didn't say he worth $500million. He quoted scripture. I love Daddy Freeze but I think he has lost focus.
I too have thought about Seal and Sade. We need to bring them to Nigeria for a concert. I've never watched any of their interviews where both of them won't mention Nigeria. Sade celebrity lifestyle worth emulating. See how Sade introduced her band.
Konquest: ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ Many happy years ahead to Helen Folasade Adu, CBE. Born on 16 January, 1959 in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria to a white English district nurse mother and an Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State lecturer of economics father. Sade’s father was the first graduate of statistics in Nigeria].
"You are one of the BEST and most DELECTABLE women on earth Sade. Thanks for your soulful music!"
"I remember seeing Sade Adu on NTA in December 1985 on her arrival at the Lagos International Airport from England when she came to Nigeria/Ikere-Ekiti which was then in Ondo State for her father's burial in the same year that she was nominated for a Grammy, which she finally won it on February 25, 1986, at the hrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. It was awesome getting to see the Britain-Nigerian music diva live on TV... our gift to the world!"
The four-time Grammy award winner, singer and song-writer Sade Adu, is pictured below being carried by her father, Professor Adebisi Adu in 1959. With them are Anne, Sade’s mum, Anne Hayes, and older brother, Banji.
P.S. I wonder when Sade and SEAL will come to perform in Nigeria. Is it until Sade starts using walking stick before MTN, GLO, AIRTEL or other big company will bring her to perform?
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode can bring both of them to Nigeria to perform as part of his tourism drive for Lagos State before it is too late. SEAL is even an indigene of Isale Eko, Brazilian Quarters, in Lagos State.
Nigeria has really changed our way of thinking. A celebrity was bold enough to show his real car,many people are expecting more..We citizens are pushing these celebrities do what they don't want to do.
You don't understand Christianity. In Christianity, we have Old Testament and New Testament. The main reason Jesus came was to bring Salvation by Grace because men cannot keep those laws in the Old Testament.
Kaybmal100: Hypocrites everywhere in Christianity...see how easy u blame the quran for ordering Muslims to beat their wives without even quoting the full verse of Sarah 4:34 for better understanding.
U left islam to Christianity because u didn't want your sister to be beaten by her husband right...let me ask you. Was your sister a virgin before she even got married? I dought, because according to (Deuteronomy 22:20-21) she is to be killed for not being a vergin before her wedding night.
Y[b]ou are the biggest fool I have ever come across I swear. [/b]
(Deuteronomy 22:20-21) But if this charge is true (that she wasn’t a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
What is your present status in America. Are you still on F1 student VISA? If you are,what's your initial plan for settling in America?
Stop seeing the stripper,find a way to talk to your wife,talk to your children. Western culture brings lot of stress and pressure. Many Nigerian families in Western world are passing through similar experience or even tougher. Are you not hearing of husband's killing their wives in America? Your case is not the worse.

kunleajaye: Hello peeps. It's with a heavy heart that I have to say that my marriage is on it's last legs(or so I think). Sometimes last year I made a post asking for advice and things actually got a bit better afterwards (https://www.nairaland.com/3415462/dont-feel-attracted-wife-anymore), but alas, it didn't last.
My wife returned to her cold self and it just went downhill from there. We started arguing again over the tiniest of reasons. Some of the reasons for our petty arguements was the issue of her engrossing herself in school activities that sometimes took her attention from home duties. I told her a couple of times that i wasn't against her doing things like what she did and wasn't in the way of her achieving her desires and goals, but she shouldn't forget she's a mother and wife and one of her primary duties is her family. Sometimes she'd spend so much time in one fruitless meeting or the other, and when she gets home, she'll be too tired to do anything. It got to a point I had to do alot of cooking for the house so that the kids won't be hungry. It's not that she didn't do her duties. It's just the inconvenience of it all and the way her outside activities affected us that really got to me.
Another thing that got on my nerves was her attitude to her degree. Agreed, with all the things she did, she still maintained a very good GPA and was one of the best students in her department. Her lecturers would at times request she take their classes for them while they attended to other pressing issues. It was a good thing and i felt proud, but in her mind the main thing she wanted to do was business. Buying and selling like she did when we first got here and before she started school. She wanted to set up a store where she'd import and sell african prints. There were days during the summer when I'd plan on doing Uber to supplement the little I brought in as a paycheck, only for her to tell me she'd registered for one event or another to display her wares. I'll just have to stay back at home with the kids till she returned later in the night. It really did get me upset and I once asked her what the point of the degree she had studied for if all she wanted to do was sit in a store and sell stuff? We had this argument several times on end.
What eventually broke the camel's back was something she said that I'll never forgive her for. One evening, after putting the kids to bed, she approached me and said she wanted to apply for a loan. I asked her what she needed the loan for. She said for her shop. How much does she need? Ten thousand dollars. How does she expect to apply for ten thousand dollars when we have no way of paying back? Besides, where does she expect me to get the collateral from? She said someone would stand in for her. I told her I don't support the idea and she should be patient. At least after her graduation, she would be able to work full time and earn a better pay which she could then channel to doing whatever she wanted. She said no. She doesn't want to work, but sell her stuff. We started bickering back and forth about this cos I was already fed up of the whole issue, and at some point she screamed, saying I do not support her as a husband, and maybe she would have been better off marrying Awwal. [/color]
*** Awwal was another guy who fancied her when we met during our youth service in camp; she had once told me that back then she loved him as much as she loved me, and if she had to choose, she would have picked him instead of me. I asked her why she then chose me, and she said her late mother had advised her "don't make a future husband into an ordinary boyfriend, and don't make an ordinary boyfriend into a husband." In other words, don't confuse lust for love. ***
[color=#000099]She realized what she said and immediately began to apologize. I don't know how I kept my cool, and I walked away quietly. It only got worse after then. We no longer talked liked we once did apart from the necessary exchanges. I let her do whatever pleased her. Our arguements continued and sometimes we wont speak for days. I started keeping late nights, staying more in the lab after school or sometimes driving to a bar to drown my sorrows. I tried getting a marriage counselor, but the damage had already been done. Our sex life became virtually non-existent. We just remained together because of the kids.
A man has needs, and if he wasn't getting them at home, he'd start looking outside. I'm not proud to say this, but during some of my late nights out, I'd visit a discrete gentleman's club. It was on one of these outings I met one of the girls who danced there. She was a young college kid in her junior year. Over the next week or so she gave me a listening ear and I poured my heart out to her. She invited me over to her place one evening (she shared a three bedroom house with two other girls), one thing led to another and she was giving me a full n@ked massage with her body. We didn't have penetrative sex, but she gave me the sexual release my wife had denied me for such a long time. I offered to pay for her services afterwards, but she told me not to, as it was just her way of showing she cared. We ended up making similar arrangements a few more times, and each time we took it a bit further. The furthest we went was the time we had a 69 on her bed, and she came all over my face while I splooged her mouth. I always had to wipe myself off properly and take a shower once I got home to rid of all the oil and smell of pheromones on my person.
I guess my wife suspected something was going on cos she asked me one day if i had been seeing anyone. I asked her why she asked, and she shrugged, murmuring something to the fact that it was unusual of me not to have disturbed her for sex in such a very long time. I told her since she had decided to control when and the frequency we had sex, I had accepted my plight. I told her if she wanted sex, she knew where to find me. That night, I woke up to her snuggling up to me. It was the first time in a long while she would come to me. Try as much as I could, I just couldn't achieve an erection. My time with the stripper girl had taken away the sexual affection I had for my wife. She noticed this and started crying, saying i don't love her anymore. I simply told her it was just the stress. The following day, she was back to her normal self.
Last month, she finally graduated. I was happy that at least she would get a place to work and earn some money. But what she told me a few days later came as a shocker. She told me she wanted to go back to Nigeria. Her plan was to fulfill her dream of setting up a clothings line and since i don't want to support her, she'd rather go on without my support. I asked her if she was joking, but i could see she was dead serious. I asked who would take care of the kids if she leaves, and she said she intends going with them. infact, she had already told her sister to start looking for a nice school for them at home. I just couldn't believe it. Why make that kinda decision without consulting me first? She just told me her mind was made up. I tried changing her mind, but she remained adamant. Unknown to me, she had already booked their flight back home a long time ago. I had to call my parents to talk some sense into her, but afterwards they just told me to let her come home, that she may just need the change of environment for a while. I called and asked her sister why she didn't tell me about the plan knowing how close we were, but she simply said it was her sister's decision.
They left two days after Christmas. To date I'm yet to receive a call from her. I've sent her several emails but she hasn't responded to even one. She told my mum she hasn't had the chance to get a line yet, but I know that's a lie. It doesn't take you more than a week to get a phone and a line in Nigeria. Sadly, I may have to accept the conclusion that my marriage is over.
Don't fix any amount so that your future wife won't get into trouble with your family.. Give according to what gets into your hands that month. If they have special needs, you can attend to them also.
Nairalanders, this is an eye opener for everyone. Don't forget your parents.
NoLotty7: Hello Nairalanders, how much should be best to place both parent on monthly either as a single or married?
I have been giving money to my parents mostly during festivals and if they have any financial challenge. My mom always have the fair share from me than dad reason she take care of my young ones with it too. Now, l intend placing both parent on monthly payroll from Jan.
How much should be ok, l plan placing mom on 30k,dad on 20k, though, I'm still single planning to marry next year. What is your view on this, let's discuss.
Synagogue is good in publicity. Many Churches are doing it but they won't use 10million Naira airtime on TV to announce 5million Naira gift.My Church in Ikeja paved a whole street in the community where it resides and nobody hears. My Pastor has a foundation that sends all less privilege in the Church to University. The only requirement is a valid admission. He never do a single radio advert or post pictures online.
I'm not saying all these to justify Tithes. Just know that some Churches got good publicity stunts and they know Nigerians love that. Same thing our politicians do. They build a 20 million Naira facility and use 10 million Naira for grand opening.
KushyKush: The only church that gives a fück about the poor is synagogue. (Even the country appreciates synagogue as a church for their many works and services to mankind)
Other churches are only after your tithes, Thanksgiving money, pastor's welfare money, building donations and Sunday offerings.
Those quoting me can go ahead and suck my dick twice everyTuesday.
Your church is owned by a criminal who feeds on your money and in return says the exact thing you can read in your Bible free of charge at home.
Even those churches don't pay Taxs yet their say God will curse you whenever you don't pay tithes. Talk about double standards and fuckery.
BeReaSonAble: Where is Jerusalem located? It's it the sovereign right of a country to decide where her capital city should be? Me not really understanding this fight
You can read about it on the internet. Jerusalem is the most sensitive city in the world cos Christians and Muslims have some historical attachment to the city. It's a long story. Search the web
Don't live alone when you are old, rich and not married/divorced....Pick a family member to invest in.He.she will help you in case of medical emergencies.Also,you won't be lonely.
Each Artiste will earn at least 5milliona Naira.That's 500million Naira.Logistics and stealing will take another 500million Naira.
Why are we wasting money on things not necessary especially when poverty is still the order of the day. I lov e entertainment but not at the expense of good hospitals, good roads,standard education.
Her full name is Omarosaonee.. She split the name into Omarosa onee so that she can fit into American celebrity name style..Many celebrities with weird names do that.. That is a Benin name. Anytime you see Omo or Oma prefix, the name is likely to be a Benin or Yoruba name. Omo/Oma means child. She claimed her dad lineage is from Nigeria. She even wore Naija dresses during her wedding.
bigfrancis21: To be honest, I don't think that this woman has a direct link to Nigeria. According to Wikipedia, Omarosé Onée Manigault was born in Youngstown, Ohio, the daughter of Theresa Marie (née Walker) and Jack Thomas Manigault Sr. Her parents do not seem to have Nigerian names and she may just be one of those African Americans given a Nigerian first name at birth. It is not uncommon to find African Americans bearing a Nigerian first name or even surname. Few months ago I met a 100% African American whose first name is Nnamdi, given to him by his parents at birth.
By the way, who knows what Omarosa means? Which tribe in Nigeria does it come from, Igala?
2. Live a free life. Don't be traumatized by our people stigmatization caused by ignorance.
3. Keep praying and go see Doctors. Also, have you heard of Rev. Tony Akinyemi of The Shepherd's Flock Int'l Church. God reveal to him some secrets of how to use herbs and naturally means to cure some diseases. You can visit his Church in Ikeja, Lagos and schedule a counselling session with him. He does not collect money from people.
4. When you know what you need and the cost, come back to this thread and we Nairalanders will help you.
Becareful. If you cheat, you might cheat again. Before you know it, you will sleep with many men. Call your husband and give him ultimatum. I guess he's not really telling you what he's going through abroad. If he has settled all his paper thing, nothing stops him from coming home at least twice a year till he relocate you.
"I will not go into exile to any foreign country. I was born here in Libya, and I will die here. This country was a dessert, and I turned it into a forest, where everything can grow. No one Love this land more more than its citizens. If Europe and America tells you that they love you, be careful. They love the wealth of your land. The oil and not the people. They are helping you to fight against me but, it will be more wise for you to fight against them because they are fighting against your future and progress.
My message to you the people of Libya is, they are helping you to kill me but you will pay the price because you will suffer. And my message to you America and Europe is, you will kill me, but be ready to fight a never ending TERRORISM. Before you realise your ignorance, terrorists will be hitting you at your doorstep."
GADDAFI once told the Nigerian and British governments to divide Nigeria into two, so that the Hausa/Fulani (Moslems), Yoruba (Christians) and Biafrans/Igbo, can live as neighbouring countries.
It's good we look at these 16 REAL REASONS WHY COL. GADDAFI WAS KILLED:
1. There is no electricity bill in Libya, electricity is free for all its citizens.
2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens are at a 0% interest by law.
3. Home is considered a human right in Libya. Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home.
4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinars (US$50,000) from the government to buy their first apartment.
5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi, only 25% of Libyans were literates. Today, the figure stands at 83%.
6. Libyans taking up farming as a career, they received farm land, a farming house, equipment, seeds and livestock to kick- start their farms – all for free.
7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they needed in Libya, the government funded them to go abroad for it.
8. In Gaddafi's Libya, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price. 9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0. 14 per liter.
10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.
11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation, the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.
12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
13. A mother who gave birth to a child under Gaddafi, received US $5,000 as child benefit upfront.
14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15
15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree.
16. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man- Made River Project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.
If this is called "Dictatorship", I wonder what type of Leadership Democrats have!!
I hope she's not hiding any secrets. Your first mission is to TRY ALL MEANS to let her seek medical help. You are not excluded from medical too. Let's be sure there is no hidden secret. When Doctor confirm both of you ok, then you can continue spiritual option.
Why not educate them on sex. Sit them down and let them understand their sexualities. Let them understand that their sexual feeling is normal. Educate them so that, they can differentiate fantasy and real life. Teach them about unprotected and protected sex. Teach them about unwanted pregnancy.Also, tell them that porn can destroy how they view women. Let them know most of those things in porn movies are 95% acting. Let them know real wives should not be treated that way.
Just teach them with fun. Ask if they have girl friends. Stylishly ask if they have started touching themselves (masturbation). Let them know how these bad habits could destroy them. Pls, move closer to them and be their friend.
You know you can't teach what you don't know. Do some more research online on sex education. Act fast..
Only if we all think about the last day, the world will be a better place to live. The day your bank account will be forgotten. The day your multiple cars will no longer be yours. The day someone else will occupy your room. The day the beautiful 6packs you are using to destroy ladies' destinies will be given to mother earth. The day those soft breasts that you are using to bring down many Brothers and Pastors will be given to worms.
We are all going someday. Our prayer is to live long.
Bro, you are right. Education does not equate to knowledge. I know motivational speakers will mention successful dropped outs like Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Lawrence Ellision whereas they don't mention millions of dropped outs begging for food. It's normal to have 2 sides in everything.. The back bones of all those successful dropped outs are researches from PhD students. Education is key. It could be formal or informal. PhD is a continuation of your Masters subject area. You have to go through Masters to get PhD but there are few exceptions.
Smart Professors are very successful and rich. Only if you know how much some professors collect on patents and consultancy from Facebook, Microsoft, Google and the likes. Few smart professors we have in Nigeria don't even understand the business side of their subject.They keep giving out free things to industry guys. Majority of them don't even know what they are doing. They only know how to frustrate students.
234ng44uk: Don't even come with the knowledge thing. Education does not always equate to knowledge nor is it an end to the means. Highly successful people rarely even have first degrees. How come they are successful? If education level of education directly correlate to success then only professors would be successful, but we both know that there is no billionaire professor. So brother, a masters degree will not liberate anyone, "automatically" or manually for that matter. And for your information, a Master's research rarely make significant contribution to the body of knowledge. PhD does that. Most scholars who are interested in research would go directly from a 1st degree to a PhD for that purpose. Paint it as much as you want, a 183k salary job is better than a UK Masters any day.
