its time for the u.s to take over iran after which they will focus on Nigeria with aid of mossad to send each and every terrorists and their sponsors and supporters, both those in government and those here on nairaland up to their virgins up there in ajannah

it is taking like forever to achieve their Nigerian goal. be ready for the fallout, at the least the first wave they attempted only left you guys with advance wave of banditry, kidnappings, iswap/bh attack.

I said this somewhere but someone told me they owe us nothing irrespective of our contribution.

seppuku:
They don't owe us anything because of that. Please stop bringing up that point. Its old news.

them too mix the thing for them, no way to sort the thing out.

this sounds like trying to intimidate them and discouraging their followers from voting them.

that don't mean they should be disenfranchised, bedside they aren't out for the north but Nigerians.

they do, they owe us and is what? RESPECT, if not for the fight those people will remain farmers for British and their country a farmland for the Brit's.

seppuku:
A good number of our people over there messing up are not doing us any favors so how do you want them to respect you when you keep conflating helping them with apartheid vs Nigerian drug lords and syndicates operating in their country.

If we respect ourselves, other people will respect us.

I agree with you on this, (those of our people over there messing up are something else.) still xenophobic isn't the solution. does mean 75%, even 50% of our people do drugs?

the way they went about showed they were out for foreigners either good or bad, not just the bad eggs. they've got a legal system that can handle those menace by way of prosecution, jail term or deportation.

FIFA pikin.

As Di Maria no dey to carry the team again.

no Xavi, no Iniesta, no De Maria very thoughtful.

this final got him exposed. he should just retire in peace than exposing all his flaws that's been covered up by football authority for him.

IyaTola:
The Spain vs Argentina World Cup final wasn't just a football match—it was a masterclass in life. Spain eventually defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time through Ferran Torres' goal, ending a tightly contested final.

10 lessons every Nigerian can learn:

1. Consistency beats occasional brilliance.
Spain didn't become world champions overnight. Years of investing in youth development, coaching, and a clear football philosophy finally paid off.

2. Talent without teamwork wins applause, not trophies.
Argentina had world-class names, but Spain's collective play proved that a united team is stronger than a collection of stars.

3. Patience pays.
Spain knocked on the door for over 100 minutes before scoring. Many Nigerians quit a business or career just before their breakthrough.

4. Preparation beats prayer alone.
Faith is important, but Spain's victory came from years of planning, training, and discipline—not last-minute miracles.

5. Never underestimate substitutes.
Ferran Torres came off the bench to score the winner. Your biggest opportunity in life may come when others least expect it.

6. Discipline matters.
Argentina's red card made an already difficult game even harder. One moment of poor judgment can undo years of hard work.

7. Defence wins championships.
Whether it's football, business, or personal finance, protecting what you have is just as important as chasing more.

8. Don't depend on one superstar.
Spain showed that building strong systems is better than relying on one "Messi" in an organisation or country.

9. Keep improving even after success.
Spain didn't stop after winning Euro 2024—they kept evolving until they became world champions. Success should be a stepping stone, not a resting place.

10. Great nations invest in the future.
Spain's triumph was built on years of youth development. Nigeria can achieve similar success in sports, education, technology, and business if we stop chasing quick fixes and start building lasting institutions.

Football, like life, rewards preparation over excuses, systems over shortcuts, discipline over drama, and consistency over noise. That's a lesson every Nigerian can apply—whether you're looking for a job, running a business, investing, or building a career.

point of correction, Spain showed a masterclass. the match wasn't tightly contested, the third place final was the keenly contested match. it was the final before a final.

Skydivine:
But this is not how to retire honorably. You don’t go in front of 80k fans and roam around for 120mins. No single impact!

this would still be more honourable compare the next tourney. in four years time fresher legs with pace, younger blood. check, is there a team that hasn't put up a show against argentina.

cape verde of all team stood their ground against this same team. come next tournament this argentine team would be worse than this.

everyone kept mentioning the messi effect and master class through other games but same messi was off this game. meaning it wasn't his master piece in other games but timidness and fear of those teams.

he should just call quit here, the next tourney will expose him more.

COOL10:
The G.O.A.T has finally passed the torch. This was destined planned to happen. Thank you, Messi for all you've done for football. There will never be another like you. 🤗😎

I told some fifa is about to hand us the next project but the kid needs more than the ball and pitch to meet the standard CR7 and LM10 has set. the current crops needs divine intervention to reach their standard let alone surpassing it.

there should have been a retirement ceremony for both players at this tourney.

Skydivine:
Messi will cry. That is how careers end.
It’s been a long ride for him
1 - 0

that is just it. enough record between him and CR7 already that will take the coming generations sweats to break.

he should retire honourably and enjoying him pensioners games, same goes for CR7.

the toy might be depressed.

Dealing with terrorists and criminals asides, why will anyone celebrate and support this?

what a lot of you need be the same thing you condemn is power. [s]One righteousness, a supposed gospel preacher will come here to justify and praise this[/s] All in the name of religion?

After all religious people kpai each other finish. I mean every single one. The few sane will remain

that guy is just in another world. that guy reads something different from the Bible. I've not for once seen him preach rather he's joyous and active on thread that involves killing sinners.

Mattswaggz:
see the type of people I am talking about.....you guys really love how backward this country is...was any specific religion named in the report.

which other religion preaches in the bus? just mention for us to know and have knowledge. is it that preaching in the bus is the reason or one of the reasons this country is backward?

Mattswaggz:
one of the reasons.....or are you saying for instance it's okay for someone to be playing sex oriented music in a bus?.

like they don't play it in public transport. it is as good as saying banning preaching in public places. the best for them is to tinker with that constitution that allow for freedom of religion, so no religion will exist in Nigeria.

Congratulations to the young man and the entire family.

the want to escobar this one too.

For a candidate that emerged through the backdoor, Peter Obi really thinks highly of himself. What's the essence of being a presidential candidate that everyone knows is in the race just to make up the number and not to win? Any noisemaker can emerge as the presidential of any unserious platform. We've seen jokes that like run for president in every election cycle all over the world.


Peter Obi is in the same category of presidential wannabes like Pastor Okotie, Omoyele Sowore and Gbenga Olawepo Hassim. They are all comedians who are only in the race to add some comic relief to the contest. Obi should go and debate his fellow jesters in the race.

emerging through the backdoor might come clean compared to someone with forged certification and some deadly track record.

As a former Muslim, I had no idea life was so sweet until I became a Christian. So much happiness and joy in my life now

You are just a presidential candidate and not a real contender. The contest in 2023 was between Tinubu and Atiku and the contest in 2027 will still be between Tinubu and Atiku. If you want a presidential debate so badly, go and debate Sowore of AAC and Gbenga Olawepo of Accord party candidate. Those are thei presidential candidates in your cycle of presidential wannabes.

he isn't a contender yet your father tinubu and his miscreant are having sleepless night over Obi. when the name Obi is mentioned thunder strike roars through their heart.

yet they don't have ball to tackle atiku who is their main contender but Obi the lesser one. it's not adding up, this whole thing isn't making sense to me. Kò mú opolo dání men, you have a huge snake coming for you, yet, you are busy chasing rodent, Kò make sense ràrà àti ràrà.

I’ll advise the government support him and allow him build robots that can help fight insurgency.

which government? is it the same Nigerian government? kindly wipe you eye and wake to reality from that dream land for now. I can't tell of tomorrow but for now that government intervention remains in a dream world.

many inventions while I was growing up in this country even then, when there was no social media. the States owned TV and private owned TV do showcase things like this but government only turned blind eye to it.

NTA that is for FG bring things like this up still they tend not to see prospect in it, since it won't give room to embezzle funds.

for this current administration their priority is Obi, let the guy tag "Peter Obi" along side his invention this government would give him attention.

the attention won't be for his invention but chase after the name Obi. this government is so fascinated and sentimentally attached to that name than even governance.

Kalatium:
There is one question every man should ask himself before calling any woman the 'love of his life' .

If everything you have worked for disappeared tomorrow, if your job was gone, your business collapsed or your income suddenly stopped, would she still look at you with the same love, respect and admiration? What if she starts Earning more than you, will she remain with you?

For a long time, I believed the answer would be yes because love was supposed to be unconditional.

Life eventually answered that question for me, not once, not twice, but eight different times in a period of 10 years. Every relationship was different, every woman had a different personality, from different ethnic groups but the lesson at the end was painfully similar.

Story One: When I Lost My First Job

We had been together for two years and I genuinely believed we were building a future together. When my former company downsized and I lost my job, the first person I wanted to speak to was the woman I loved because I expected comfort, encouragement and reassurance that we would get through it together.

Instead, the conversation immediately shifted to : What would become of the relationship now that I was unemployed. The warmth gradually disappeared, the phone calls became less frequent, the replies became shorter and within a few weeks she had emotionally checked out. Before long, she had moved on with another man. Two years of commitment disappeared almost as quickly as my monthly salary.

Story Two: "I'll Find Someone Else"

Months later i got into another relationship. As of then i started a business i got introduced to and at it was booming. Then came a point, where the business became slow and money was unusually tight. For the first time since we started dating, I could not spend the way I normally did. I communicated this to her and she said okay but just a few days later she called and asked me to send her money so she could buy a dress and shoe she saw.

I honestly explained that I was struggling financially and simply needed a little time to recover. Instead of asking how I was coping or understand me or encourage me to stay strong, her response was, "It's okay. I'll find someone else." Those six words changed the way I see her because I suddenly realized I had been valued more for what I provided than for who I actually was. This was a major trigger that orchestrated our breakup later.

Story Three: Betrayal After Sacrifice

The lady was very lovely that i thought we will get married. She was from a humble background, looked gentle and portrayed herself like the kind that will be faithful to me (ride or die). I paid bills, solved problems, handled emergencies and constantly made sacrifices because I genuinely loved her and believed we were building something meaningful together.

Unknown to me, another man with a bigger bank account had quietly entered the picture and was doking her. By the time I eventually discovered what had been happening, she had already moved on emotionally while I was still investing my time, energy and resources into a relationship that had quietly expired. I felt betrayed and shattered.

Story Four: I Helped Her But She Left
[b][/b]
This one pained me the most because of extend i went for her. She is in the health profession and graduated without securing an internship placement. She was frustrated about her future because her mates have already started and are already ahead of her. I refused to watch her struggle alone. I reached out to people I knew, made several calls and eventually helped her secure internship in where i did mine previously. While she worked without salary for months, I continued encouraging and supporting her financially because I genuinely wanted to see her succeed.

All of a sudden everything changed. The communication reduced, the effort disappeared and eventually she walked away from the relationship. She gave no solid reasons saying it's not me it's her and she needs to find herself. Later, I got to found out she had already started earning before she broke up with me. Looking back, I sometimes wonder whether she simply felt she no longer needed me as she is now earning or feel i will ask her for money or what . I became an overnight philosopher.

Story Five: She claimed not to have money and later got scammed.

We dated for three years and during that period I never hesitated to support her financially whenever life became difficult. Helping her was almost natural to me because I believed that was what partners were supposed to do for each other. This was the lady i loved the most.

One day I genuinely needed financial help myself and reached out to her after other options failed. She calmly told me she did not have any money. This was my first time of asking her this and since i trusted her, i thought she actually didn't have. Many days later, she was moody and closed off. I asked repeatedly what was wrong only for her to end up crying, saying someone had scammed her with a significant amount of her money. The painful part for me was not that she got scammed. The painful part was realizing she had the money all along but told me she doesn't have anything. She simply chose not to help me when I needed her. I felt betrayed. When i reflected on everything i realized that even when i am in a precarious situation, she won't ever help me. I never took her serious since then.

Story Six: I Was Always the One Giving

This relationship forced me to reflect on something I had ignored for a long time: reciprocation. I was having this mentality that when my woman needs help, I will always show up immediately without thinking twice. Whenever she faced a challenge, I considered it our challenge. However, looking back today, almost every meaningful sacrifice came from my side and i was shooting myself on the foot.

I began to notice that whenever I genuinely needed emotional support, encouragement or even small acts of kindness, there was almost always another excuse, another reason or another delay. I don't like to keep score but i can't help but noticed she has never did anything worthwhile, even when monetary aspect is kept aside. She is always asking and taking but have never giviing and she is 30. Loving someone should never feel like carrying two people on your shoulders while pretending the weight is equal.

Story Seven: The ₦100,000 I Never Saw Again

This relationship was still very new when she called saying she had an emergency and urgently needed ₦100,000. I explained that the money had already been set aside for something very important, but because she was my girlfriend, I agreed to lend it to her after she repeatedly promised to repay me.

The money never came back. Whenever I reminded her, she started making me feel guilty for asking for money i send to her oooo. At one point she even asked why I was behaving as though she were a stranger. That moment taught me that borrowing money should never automatically erase accountability. I ended the relationship out of disgust. This was the shortest relationship i had ever been.

Story Eight: The Experiment That Changed Everything

After everything I had experienced, I recently decided to quietly test one relationship earlier this year after the lady was claiming she is not after a man's money. So I deliberately reduced how much I spent while making sure nothing else changed. I still called regularly, stayed emotionally available and continued showing genuine affection. The only thing I reduced was the money.

The result shocked me. Almost immediately I was accused of no longer caring, no longer trying and no longer loving her like before. Nothing about my character had changed. My attention had not reduced. My commitment remained exactly the same. The only thing that changed was my spending, yet that alone completely changed how I was treated. That experiment taught me one lesson no relationship expert ever could.

My Overall Reflection

Before anyone misunderstands this post, let me make something very clear. I am not saying every woman behaves this way because that would be dishonest and unfair. These are not all the ladies i have been in a relationship with but this is a result of majority of those i have been with. I know there are loyal, supportive and emotionally mature women who genuinely stand beside their partners during difficult seasons.

My concern is that I have personally experienced this pattern repeatedly as well as others, and many men quietly carry similar stories without ever talking about them. Society constantly reminds men that their value lies in what they provide, while very few people ever stop to ask what emotional support men receive in return.

A man is expected to provide, protect, remain emotionally strong, solve problems and carry responsibilities without complaining. The moment he experiences financial difficulty, many people begin questioning his worth instead of asking whether he is mentally exhausted, overwhelmed or silently struggling with responsibilities nobody else can see.

Money is important. Bills are real. Responsibilities cannot be ignored. Every serious relationship requires financial responsibility from both partners.

Genuine love, however, should never disappear simply because someone enters a difficult season. Every human being will eventually experience moments when life does not go according to plan. Character is not revealed during comfort. Character is revealed when circumstances become uncomfortable.

Today I no longer judge relationships by sweet words, romantic promises or social media displays. I pay attention to how people behave when there is nothing material left to gain because hardship exposes intentions that comfort successfully hides.

My biggest lesson is one I will carry for the rest of my life.

Money can attract attention.
Money can attract admiration.
Money can even attract temporary affection.
Money cannot buy genuine loyalty.

If someone's love expires the same day your money stops flowing, then perhaps what you had was never really love.

It was simply a transaction wearing the mask of a relationship.

So let me leave you with one honest question.

If you lost everything tomorrow, would your partner still choose you, or would they quietly begin searching for someone with a healthier bank account?

Experience they say is the best teacher.

you had 8 relationships within a space of 10 years, come to think of it 2 out of this dating game lasted 5 years. meaning the other 6 were within a 5 years, not to mention the ones that gave satisfaction or your expected end result. you no try at all.

Kalatium:
One of them was less than 6months sef.

Those who we lasted long, thought they will always be there but got to find out they had an exit plan.

you need change your mentality and orientation about life (in terms of relationships not just about women but men alike.) during this transition make sure you don't change who you are just some things about you (life) that don't align.

your challenge is you give substance rather you. you are meant to give you (yourself) rather than substance. the question is does guys without substance maintain relationships? Yes, they do.

I remembered my secondary school days, the girl I hated most during my SSS1, ended up in my inner circle while we got to SSS2. we got cool, close and shit. the first was me then substance (I met all her needs at the least 50% of her needs then.)

she was then in the hostel in turn, a day student. financially I was there for her and other things. we got cool there isn't her without me and I also felt same but of the truth, I avoided intimacy cos I've pampered and spoilt her (entitlement will set in which will ruin the beauty of our friendship).

the best way to get and know truly if people loves you is presenting yourself before any other thing in a relationship. like you I can go all out for people I'm in a relationship with (be it male or female) but one thing is don't get disappointed when they flop.

the reason being I don't expect anything from you in the first place I'm just out to contribute my best to you and move on. my uni days, the lady I dated, I expressly told her not to compete with me rather she get focused on what she could gain from me.

I'm this type that is full of love and surprises as such I'm always step off you in a relationship till date (especially when dating though I'm married now). she was playing catch up but I sat her told her go after what you can make out of me than try to please me.

we had plans together but plans and dreams she could pursue alone. we fell out but today she's been able to fulfill some of those idea I sold into her. one of them was she pursuing a career part, Masters Degree after her Bachelor which she's been able to achieve.

I don't see people like they are perfect or has anything to offer me but what I can offer so in the long run they don't get to disappoint me.

MemphitzDgreat1:
APC drugs prescription... Mention Peter Obi's name 3 times daily. Thrice morning, Twice afternoon and Four times at night for 7 days.

this administration has treated Obi, handled Obi, execute Obi as an official duty than what they rigged themselves or voted them in to do.

Obi is now a phenomena that need to be studied in our higher institutes and it must be a general study. it doesn't really matter it Obi becomes the president, he readily has impact and is even bigger than this administration.

Obi is replicating the Obafemi Awolowo, effect in Nigerian political arena. he whom God has blessed no one can curse. when Obi is mentioned, thunder roar through the heart of the opposition.

this thing has eating deep into the nerves of this nation.

Redman44:
Sorry for your loss, Sir. Farming can be a risky business sometimes. Was the land fenced with a gate ? I have suffered from Plantain theft too. People don't want to plant but they want to reap from where they did not sow. Don't give up on Farming though. Cheers.

nothing about farming makes it risky business (it comes with minimal risk, only if you understand me) even I will agree with you that some aspects of agriculture comes with high risk (like, livestock farming majorly poultry.)

coming to your other point of "People don't want to plant but they want to reap from where they did not sow." I strongly agree with you on that, it hurt to feel people comfortably wait to reap others labour.

they watch someone raise chicken only to steal, it cost them nothing buy yours, leave it to free-range to maturity like others do then eat but a thief is nothing but a thief.

NaijaLandGuy:
So sorry about your loss, please don't quit.
There's so much evil and crime going on in the nation and as long as there's food in your land, thieves will keep coming.
I suggest you beef up security in your land.
Fence the place if you haven't, get a trusted security personnel and install CCTV cameras.
God bless your efforts with a fruitful harvest

your opinion and suggestions are quite respected but fencing is out of the option here. how much farm investment are we looking at here? what is the size of the space (land) that we are talking about?

at the security investment will out weigh the business investment and profit put together. which will in turn be counter productive. I will agree with you on that of CCTV, that will cost less compared to fencing.

for CCTV, it becomes costly an investment on a vast land. if those thieves are wise enough to harvest from the middle of the farm where it won't cover.

reasoning these whole even make me tire, the kind of leaders governing us. the government is plaguing the country, the citizens are making themselves an affliction to each other. the thing weak me straight on.

Hungrychicken:
Do you know so called “greedy” people may have some emergency money problems that could have made them trust these sites?

not just emergency those guys went as far as advertising their scheme on national TV, yet some fortunate ones here term people to be greedy.

this is laudable but don't need the imprint of any governor.

we leaders that will lay an everlasting legacy by way of giving us continuity.

like the one we have in Lagos, this imprint in Lagos State wasn't tinubu but the founding fathers majorly Pa. Jakande when was the governor.

he laid the developmental roadmap for Lagos State. the foundational plan for the rail system, road network, industrialization and all that.

tinubu and his men are just building on, of which I would give them deserving credit for. though Lagos State development is nothing but snail pace, if compare to REVENUE and FG ALLOCATION.

lack of continuity is killing cause every governor want to make impression rather than manage and distribute our scarce resources, not mentioning embezzlement and corruption.

gare:
The Southeast should continue advocating for the development of a functional seaport in the region. With the right infrastructure, cities like Enugu could experience significant economic growth, similar to Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja.

The Federal Government should support this by investing in ports, roads, rail, and other critical infrastructure across the country. Developing more commercial hubs would create jobs, boost regional economies, and help reduce the pressure on Lagos.

At the rate Lagos is growing, one might even joke that the city could "sink" under the weight of its population 😄

just the way forward for the country. the daily population increase will keep submerging development and infrastructural growth.
