Making such excuses for a sitting president is wild!

If it was political, he had to overlook it even after a citizen was beheaded on camera and kids were tortured... Victims even cried out to him


This excuse is not an escape plan to vindicate his non-chalant attitude. It took a public outcry and a failed media session to see a report of his intervention.

I'm really guilty of the poor sleep habits. I sleep late and wake up early. My body is so used to the system that I don't need an alarm to wake up. I only sleep early when I'm weak or about to fall sick.

On the days that I want to sleep for long hours like public holidays or some weekends, it's really tough.

Trust me, I've tried sleep techniques, apps to improve sleep quality and the likes.
On the flipside, I've succeeded in maintaining sleep on Sunday afternoons, no matter how short it is.


Health is wealth guys. Selah!

From the comments, I can tell that this nation has a long way to go. I can't believe this.

Two people came into power and saw abnormalities. For instance, huge amounts of money were moving to accounts of a few people holding the states at capture. They decided to correct the abnormal patterns, but of course, they needed the backing of lawmakers.

These supposed lawmakers are supposed to be in Favour of the state and her people at all times, but no, they answer and follow money and Godfatherism (Money and power).

The cabal decided to kick them out so they don't change things and affect their flow of money, but here are Nigerians celebrating kicking them out rather than investigating and condemning the corrupt system.

One man stole billions of naira meant for a power project, do you think he single-handedly took the money and didn't settle cabals? Do you think that politicians just siphon money without instructions from upper chambers and cabals? Why do you think that when they are arrested, the case dies down after a while if certain people are in power?

Anyway, with this mentality, progress is far.
God bless Babatunde Raji Fashola wherever he is. I hope that Ambode and Fashola took notes and will release a documentary or a book in the near future.

You didn't state the exact model of the Changan.


If I was truly in your shoes, and the Changan is the photo below, I'd go for the Changan.

By the way, Changan is beyond just visible tech and interior. Choose the Honda Accord 2014, if you strictly want the reliability it is known for. Although, you have to insider the history of the car and your maintenence culture

State the model and I'll modify my post.

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of delays from sending money from one bank to another...
Someone sent me some money yesterday into one of my fintech bank,and it took almost 3 hours before It reflected in my account balance. Today,I gave out my traditional bank account number for a payment from one of my clients,and it's been more than 5 hours,the money is yet to reflect in my account,while the sender has been debited...


I don't know if it's a general issue!..

NIBSS is having a downtime with a crucial service called TSQ Transaction Status Query. The service is responsible for telling banks and other financial institutions that a transaction was successful, declined, rejected, failed, etc. Which then helps the bank to process the transaction and settle you the customer in real-time if the transaction was successful.

To save banks from loses, and to reduce the chaos, banks have stepped up to use other means to confirm the status of transactions, then, proceed to settle you the customers. This other service takes a few hours. Hence, the delay in your transaction. A good intervention from forward-thinking banks and financial institution. Kudos to them!

So, if a transaction was successful, you'd be credited but not instantly.

Pierocash:
If the person saved yours, you will see the person's update . You don't determine the update to see, the poster determines it, so once the person saved your contact, whether you saved the person's contact or not, you will see their update if they want you to see it

Yeah! The latter part of your comment is it.

In summary, You would see status updates of people who saved your number.

From your angle, status updates are now shown to your contacts. Those contacts don't necessarily have to save your number to see your updates.

Meta basically replicated their status algorithm on Instagram. It's a good idea for business owners.


So, if you need your privacy back, you can either
1. Delete those contacts in your phonebook, or
2. Exclude those numbers in status privacy

It's funny how a lot of people didn't watch the video but were quick to drop comments.

I think it's hightime @seun of Nairaland.com works on an algorithm to filter comments and replies by relevance. This way, the madness with first to comment will be resolved.



We find it fun and relaxing to visit parks in other cities, especially outside Nigeria and appreciate it, but we have a park here that's been snatched away for whatever reasons and no plan to develop it elsewhere, still, we are all cool with it and blaming Sowore.

This was how Landmark was demolished in Lagos and today the place is vacant. Very soon it will be re-allocated. Imagine what the view would look like from the road/train if Landmark were still existing.

I hope that we're learning and thinking about tomorrow.

Baabee2:
Co-asking in 2026. Please does anybody have an idea on how to go about this?

If the name on your NIN is correct. Do a court affidavit, keep it handy.

Then, apply for a change of name at JAMB.

The journey is different if the name on your KAMB and institution is correct but NIN is not.

Please, don't mumble it to sound enticing. None of the metrics improved. The passport ranking of some countries dropped, and the slot had to be filled up by adjusting the subsequent numbers.

Don't forget that the IATA rated the air fare prices in Nigeria as overpriced.

You'll soon hear the opposite of what you are waiting for.
Nigerians ehn! Nollywood has finished you up.

A student is trying to support your hustle by giving you tips (something that's so regular abroad).
You should be focused on how to scale beyond the extra N1k. If 5 of her friends order, that's extra N5k for you. If they order 3 times a week, that's 15k x 4 weeks, but you chose love in your head and you're waiting for us to align with what's in your head. Continue o. You may soon lose this and more.

She's doing it from a place of love. Not for the love in your head.

Can love happen this way? Maybe! But continue with your diligence. You may attract someone that will pay more per delivery.

Their president is misbehaving and throwing unnecessary tantrums in an unprofessional manner. Just like the core APC supporters, his followers are cheering him up and encouraging him. Well, just as 2027 is fast approaching for Nigeria, 2028 is also fast approaching for Americans.

A Lagos Tenant left in shock after finding his car crushed when a metal scaffolding carrying multiple water tanks collapsed in his compound
The impact completely damaged his car, with shattered glass and water flooding the area.

He shared a short video showing the aftermath and asked if he has the right to take legal action against his landlord.

If he had comprehensive insurance, it would have been easier on him, but for him to ask about suing his landlord, he probably does not.

Sadly, a huge loss and stress to his pockets!

This is a good development if implemented. Although, we don't seem to have raw materials to export to China, but this is a good signal to the Chinese to encourage a good trade exchange.

It's also a good signal to other nations looking to collaborate with Nigeria.

It gives a sense of 0% tariff on the raw materials they need, even when they may not get the 0% because China has a long standing relationship with Nigeria and the other counties probably don't have such relationship to leverage on.

NISSAN Altima or Almeria?

Established Statistical platforms shared on Twitter and ranked Nigeria as number 1. Then, this Leadership is claiming that the file is cheaper in Nigeria compared to other countries. Okay o.

The writer/author of that article is definitely finding it difficult to get to work, except if the burden is shared with the company.

N2,000 has always been the game plan. Continue projecting cheap until it gets there.

correctguy101:
You're talking nonsense.

Even in Kwara state, not everywhere experiences the unrest. I'm currently at Kwara and I am tempted to get land here if not that I don't trust Muslim communities. They've been awesome since I've been here and the place is peaceful.

Because some villages are experiencing chaos, you turn it to all of Nigeria?

Oga, travel and see things for yasef sometimes.

Anyway, do as you like..

People who know better than you ranked Nigeria at number #4 across the world. Traveling to Kwara just once safely, does not mean the entire country is safe. With all that we've seen and heard, we can all agree that there's security issue in the country. What other country not at war has it this bad?! Even countries at war does not have this level of banditry and kidnappings. By the way, these care cases that made it to the social media. There are more that you and I don't know about.


By the way, Kwara is nice. Go for it if your mind is at peace with it, but do your assessments. For real...

lailo:
Someone walked from the kidnappers den and probably run sef and suddenly reach community and would need help from hefty men to walk enter house
This skit that u people are sharing, there is God oooo

You don't need an IQ and EQ test... It's glaring for all to see.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
You clownish obidients are so irritatingly annoying such that there's no tolerating you.
Are we to believe that learned judges are all morons to be dictated to ?
Your right to free speech gives you to right to ridicule people at will.
And when they decide to bring you to book you'll begin to wail tribalism.
Must you debase whatever good deeds a person does just because you don't like him ?
And yet, you're always ready to sing praises of one of your and defend him or her when he or she commits a glaring crime

Are you aware that judges are civil servants and Wike is a lawyer ?
Why must he not help people of his own profession while he is in position so to do ?

Lol! Marginalized political economy is what you're praising like this. Lmao!
One thing is for sure... Your generation can't escape it.

LordBiden:
Politics and sentiments aside,24/7 power in Nigeria is not possible.

It would cost Nigeria up to 5 trillion naira or more to generate and distribute stable power supply,of which Nigeria doesn't have the money.

These is not about APC or pdp,the maths doesn't add up.

Impossible is nothing. Anyway, please, don't run for office. We don't need your kind to lead any part of the nation. It doesn't seem like you'd lead the nation to progress.

So, if I say I'm interested in this car that is arguably N8m, I will pay you N500k as "settlement" because I saw your listing online and decided to patronize you?

I'm laughing because it's funny.

Flangelo12:
As of February 2026, the administration of President Bola Tinubu is actively working on expanding electricity infrastructure to rural and underserved communities through initiatives like the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and partnerships with new power distribution companies.

Here are the key developments regarding community electricity under the Tinubu administration:

Etche Communities, Rivers State: In February 2026, Aba Power (a subsidiary of Geometric Power) extended electricity supply to several communities in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, which reports indicate had been without electricity for over a decade.


Abuja Solar Project: The Federal Government recently inaugurated a one-megawatt solar mini-grid to supply electricity to the Rubochi and IQuA communities in Abuja, benefiting approximately 4,000 households, businesses, and schools.
Rural Electrification Focus: The government is focusing on solar mini-grids and solar home systems to improve access for communities not connected to the national grid, as part of the broader national energy strategy.

General Strategy: President Tinubu has signed the Electricity Act Amendment Bill (2024), which allows states, companies, and individuals to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity, aiming to decentralize the power sector and enhance supply to local areas.

I'm only responding because I wanted you to know I read your response. By the way, this has nothing to do with the supposedly signed electricity whatever. Please, go and read more about it.

Flangelo12:
Well done President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

👏 👏 👏

What did he do? Was it his initiative?
Attributing sincere, hardworking and empathetic people's work to Tinubu is a ridiculous thing to do!

Over 60% of Fashola's ideas, efforts and executions are being attributed to Tinubu with the excuse that it was his "master plan"
Meanwhile, he had 8 solid years to execute his "master plan" but didn't.


Now, thank His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti.

FuckYeyeMods:
Trash!
Telling you is not a big deal collecting the giveaway.
Next time don't go into what you first describe to your fellow man.
That is very stupid of you. I assure you, you must be very rude in reality

I'm Sorry. I take it back. Let's stick to politics and not family.

FuckYeyeMods:
Abeg! Shut it..
Which one be birthright or future. If you're married, you'll understand that small things like this means alot.
If I tell you my take home, you'll open your mouth in waoh!
But if I see something like this, I will quickly collect and call my wife to come collect if its nearby.
The money I will savefrom this, I don't mind using it to buy hoverboard for my kid.
Any government that will come, will not knock your door to give you food or cash.
As usual, what we'll see is inflation index, investors confidence, Foreign reserve, GDP per capital and all those gibberish that don't directly put food on the table.
If you don't mind, outline one or two thing you firmly believe will definitely change if you choice candidate get the number one seat.

Na wa o. I want to believe that your wife is the smarter one. How will you know? She must have complained about it or there are little issues in the marriage, could be on and off. If there are no issues, then, it's either she's silently strategic about it or she's no different from you.


You'll call your wife to leave whatever she's doing, even sleeping, just to go and queue, sorry, struggle to get a carton with small rice, salt and indomie, not from a businessman or NGO, but from a politician that is being called out on different controversial standard of living determining topics and is about to run for office again? Then, you think you've saved money, then, you go ahead to buy your son an hover board?

What we want is for the economy to make sense to anyone qualified. You wouldn't need to call your wife and go to struggle and fight for a little pack that can't sustain your family past a week. You would afford to feed without struggles and buy your kids hover boards and more, as long as you are qualified to earn money (via employment or business). This is Food we are talking about in a country like Nigeria!!!

Dijita:
I am not sure of what you are talking about. I am responding to you because you include my post.

Given that you include Tinubu education overseas shows that you seems not to know what you are talking about. additionally, thinking that #200,000 tuition for medical education at UNN is slave mentality shows that you absolutely did not have an idea of what you are talking about and that is one of the reason among many reasons we are having problem in Nigeria.

I schooled in Nigeria and one of the poorest during my time. In my time because I could not come up with #20 second semester registration , I had to pay #40. Because I didn't have bank account and did not know anyone with checking account I had to walk for more than two hours going from one bank to the other in Marina and Apapa Lagos until a good Samaritan employee of a bank help me to buy the bank draft from his own account. I told you that story to let you understand that you are not talking to someone who doesn't understand the benefit of free/subsidised education.

The point of my posting is that #200,000 for medical education tuition is practically free education. Education is a very expensive endeavor in any part of the world. Nigeria 2025 budget was $36.5 billion. New York University budget for 2025 was about $18 billion, that is just one university in the US. You can see the difference. Even if Nigeria is ranked as the least corrupt country in the world, we still can not provide quality medical education absolutely free like Germany and some other developed countries.

Some of these countries population is not up to 25% of our population and their per capita GDP dwarfed our own. I will admit that i don't know much about their education system. However, given your false assertion regarding education in the US. You claimed "They were fed for free, daily, across all levels of education! Eating chicken and cow everyday on campus.", I believe your assertion of those countries may not be true

Unless you are on scholarship, United States government yes subsidized education heavily. They however, don't feed all students free with chicken and cow across all level of education. Yes, if you are poor , they will provide you free breakfast and lunch in elementary and secondary school but in higher education.

In the united states, you are required to pay your full tuition. You can apply for loan and grant base on the income reported on your tax return.

If you are middle or upper class, you may get zero grant and therefore will be required to take government loan and if what you qualify for in government loan is not enough to pay your tuition you can go to private bank to borrow more. If you are going to school ranked in the category of UNN (highly ranked in Nigeria, could be considered Nigeria Ivy league) No matter how poor you are, government grant most likely will not cover your tuition. You will have to get loan, some rich universities may offer you need based scholarship but not for you to live large. That is undergraduate.

Medical school is a different ball. unless your parent is rich or extremely brilliant to get scholarships. You would consider yourself lucky if you graduate medical school with less than $250,000 in student loan. Having said all that, the system is far better than Nigeria.

I see comprehension issues here. I didn't say US was feeding them cow and chicken daily. That happened in Nigeria here. We heard the stories... Even lecturers confessed to us while on campus.

You've written so much without justifying the reason for a sudden 100% hike. Meanwhile, this is the second hike in about 3 years.

Don't worry. In the coming years, you'll walk into the hospital to see for yourself or read reports on shortage of qualified medical practitioners. A few days ago, it was a report of no anti-venom right? More is underway. Go and read about Zimbabweans health sector collapse.


Seriously, there is no justification for the hype. Since they increased school fees, there has been no major facility or equipment deployments to schools all over Nigeria by the federal government. They just want to tie people down here with loans and debts so they have people to oppress and can always write to USA, UN, World Bank, IMF, AFDB, etc. for help.

A new administration would come in and student debt pardon would be part of the manifesto that will win the hearts and votes of people.

If they deploy anything between now and the elections, it's strictly campaign tactics.

LZAA:
All for 3k per post o
Shocking😄

N3k? No wonder.

They must believe that they are richer than others when they comment more, and the proceeds can make them secure an apartment at Bourdilon.

WesleyPepper:
You are blaming Tinubu for what one mumu provost did. Just Dey play

Lol! It's Tinubu. Go and verify. Come back here to debunk it. We'll be here.

Dijita:
The information would have been complete if you include both the old and the new fees. Increasing #100,000 to #200,000 for medical education is not what I will protest. However going from #400,000 to #800,000 is another case entirely.

MrPresident1:
Let them sign undertaking that they will work in Nigeria for at least five years after graduation. After five years then they can japa to wherever

We cannot train you with public funds and then you will now Japa to go and be enjoyning in European and American and Saudi and Kuwait and Aussie

If the Chinese, Russians, Ukrainians, Americans, Swiss and Britons were thinking this way, the world would be far from global development. Same Tinubu was abroad to study, and work for yearsssss. Heavily benefited from subsidize education. They were fed for free, daily, across all levels of education! Eating chicken and cow everyday on campus.


If there were enough jobs, then, well-paying jobs in Nigeria, would they want to relocate permanently?

Haven't we read severally that Nigerian doctors treat your slave masters abroad?

This level of allegiance (towards becoming a slave) that will make me lose my logical sense of reasoning to fooling around, Lord, I refuse it. Don't give me too much, so I don't become foolish, and don't make me poor (financially, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally) , that I can be bought like a commodity to lose my conscience and justify evil. Amen.

Honestly, I'm tired of wailing.
The leaders we have in power today are starting to irritate me. I'll explain why briefly.

There are very few policy designers and solution providers in power today. It's simply "call and response" or "trial and error"

Knowing that that place is a local business hub that processes tens of millions of naira daily, a lot of items, people, and waste... A well-thinking administration would know that it's a good place to recycle items and collect waste. LAWMA or another agency should make provision of waste management and charge the market - another source of revenue and an easy way to recycle items...

You may not know, but nylon bags, paper bags are banned in Lagos state without a logical substitute. You're going to the supermarket, but you have to go with the item to carry what you're purchasing!!!

Ban this! Ban that!!!


You take the wrong direction without any notice, warning or sign in an environment you don't know, LASTMA/FRSC are so dumb that their first reaction would be to impound your vehicle.
