Double wahala for dead body

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

JESUS isn't about religion but RELATIONSHIP, He isn't about condemnation but SALVATION.

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.

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.

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.

Them no dey play am with mouth Ronaldo have paid his due to football he doesn't owe anyone anything

thank you just the simple point. the guy has sailed against tide and succeeded, fought on all fronts and won, took his battles to all territories that he could within the shortest period yet conquer them all.

CR7 is an EMPEROR and not a King, he formed an Empire and not a Kingdom. he has added flare and happiness to all football fans. those hating on him has forgotten they do much of the PR for him than even his main fan base.

he has fans from both ends, the hating fans that can't stop following even when they felt like they hate him and those that get illuminated by the mention of CR7.

he has paid his dues truly, foes should just allow him enjoy this passing facet with grace.

why break your TV over a national team loss, that's a double for him now.

on another note he might be an investor that has invested on them, hoping for dividend or some ROI.

He has always been quick to attack the FG but there have been so many weird things done by his uncle, you will never hear peem from him

chairman you no just try for this one at all. the same way you have refused to point the ills of this current administration based on sentiments or likeness tinubu and apc party.

that politician there just goofed dirty, why bring David into their squabble? like every other citizen he reserve the right to call out the fg if they are going off track irrespective of his alignment or affiliation.

Omoawoke:
You mean FIFA princess

There’s one thing that makes Ronaldo greater than Messi and Messi knows deep down..
Ronaldo swam against the tide… he went to unfamiliar grounds and conquered

Messi on the other hand stayed in comfort zones that benefited him … Messi is for rich kids born into wealth, Ronaldo is for the world, that’s why with Messi winning more ballon dor or a World Cup, Ronaldo is still the most influential and most loved across the world..
Ronaldo fans by far outnumber Messi

Even my grandmother does Suii.. Ronaldo is a global movement .. a motivation that you can fight through difficulty and excel

you just said it the way it should be said. the plain truth in black and white.

the boldened is just a major factor to consider. This make CR7 an EMPEROR, who conquered many Kingdom to form an Empire compared to a King who adapted to his conquered Kingdom.

those kids might make you say otherwise, why bring Pele to an argument involving CR7 and messi? it is out of place and disrespectful of the late Pele.

CR7 stands out and remains the EMPEROR of Era.

what happens to the narratives of job creation, social development, industrialization and all that?

yemre:
Look at this clown😂. Do you have issues with comprehension? Will the government come into your room to give you employment before you know they're creating jobs?

For your information, the economy is driven by the private sector and the primary duty of the government to create that enabling environment for industrialization to thrive. A 6000MT lithium processing plant has just be completed and you're here asking for industrialization and jobs creation!

Will the lithium plant be run or occupied by robots? What about the workers, are they animals, robots or trees that will be working there?

I tire for you o

for the first time I see the reason this project is a must. the company handling the project belongs to the president himself (as said by people).

this was what people said during governor Ibikunle Amosu tenure as governor of Ogun State. my issue with hi-tech is the only road awarded them in Abeokuta (during Amosus administration) is no longer motorable. this happened shortly after they finished construction.
