Politics › Re: 2027 Elections: Lagos APC Unveils 91 House Of Representatives Aspirants by Sensiblerealist(m): 11:55pm On May 15
Most of your submissions are spot on.
I will make clarifications on some.
For my hood Agege, Egunjobi stepped down for Obasa so he is now going for HOA, Agege 01. PBAT can't joke with Lagos West cuz of the number of votes from Alimosho alone, so he always wants a unifier/pacifier from there and that's whys that docile woman is returning. Obasa might have potentially polarised that Zone if he went for Senate.
Egunjobi too stand strong but e noor fit face Obasa head on , na why inn just mele take HOA.

For Amuwo-Odofin, it's really tough but it might tilt towards Ayodele Adewale, the former chairman and also APC State Organising Secretary.
That dude has defended even the indefensible for PBAT and Lagos Government. Na inn talk say Bullion van mistakenly enter Tinubu house then.
He's a grassroots guy too

For Alimosho, Adefulire-Orelope can't play this game like her late father. The thing wey dey work for am be saying e dey close to seat of power and the President noor fit joke with her dad matter, even in death.

For Kosofe, OGbara go still carry am.

For Lagos Island 1, Baba Olusi, chairman GAC sef wan run show for inn pikin before inn die so the politicking there bad gan.

N.B: anything fit happen cuz all these permutations are subjected to the whims and caprices of the President and a few powers that be

Lithiumite:
This are some real epic battles....Desmond is out

Obasa for rep nullifying egunjobi's ambition,really thought Obasa would be gunning for senate meaning that docile adebule lady will be returningfor lagos west,not that obasa is amy better anyway.

The epic contest!!

Alimosho will be a battle of wits,wondering why baba bisi Yusuf and orelipe adefulire couldn't settle all for a consensus candidate.

Ikeja is a done deal for faleke

Kosofe.....oghara and osinowo the late peperito's brother will be a tough contest and oghara is really bent in coming back
.
Lagos Island 1.....badru,obanikoro's son and elusive will be a battle of the mighty,koro and olusi are both memebers of the GAC,really wondering why they cant be in one accord and support each other

Lagos Island 2.....akiolu"s prince and sola giwa commissioner for transport is a battle of heavy weights but I see akiolu nipping this one.

Mushin.....yemi alli waste one that removed kakho are the much loved rep from that constituency but allies time is overdue as he isnt really popular.

Alright then.
Do you have an idea how long it takes to get to that Eba by motorboat from the nearest mainland point?

Birminghamvirgo:
Yes, and that is the EBA Island.

I'm from the coastal area of Lagos(Ibeju-Lekki) to be precise, but my wife's maternal grandmother is from that EBA Village, and luckily she's still alive. Meanwhile, they're also Ijebu speaking people. But it baffles me when Ondo State is laying claim over the island. But since I'm not from there, I can't categorically and historically established the original inhabitants of EBA Island, but apparently, the collocals are the IJEBUS

I'm not wholly claiming that, I only mentioned where you can find them.
You can also find them in Lagos Lagoons , along the stretch of 3rd Mainland bridge and further inland in Bariga.
As per the Ogun waterside LGA, they are actually interwoven to an extent in some areas and dem dey even drag one island now cuz of crude oil.


Birminghamvirgo:
ILAJES, (just like Fulani herdsmen) are migrant fishermen. They're aboriginally from Ondo State, but they're interspersed across the shore of the Atlantic Ocean due to the nature of their occupation. Meanwhile, the original inhabitants of Epe and Ogun state coastal areas are the IJEBUS and not the ILAJES as you claimed.
Culture › Re: Okosi Festival 2026 In Makun Omi Was Fantastic by Sensiblerealist(m): 4:06pm On May 13
The Ilaje people combine Epe,+Ogun+Ondo and some were exported to Delta and Bayelsa.

You so nailed it.
Some attach spirituality to stuff like that. Never collect used clothes or personal items, dem go use your glory kinda thing.
But as for me, such person has lost it all. I might even disengage business-wise


Lukuluku69:
Let it slide and move on at least now you know her class is way above people you can pass on clothes to.

When next, you have handouts as such, look for the apprentices of your stylist, younger sisters 8n tour neighbourhood.

And just so you know, some people would rather wear #200 Akube than be gifted $300 outfits already worn. (Another story entirely)

As for waiting for people to show gratitude, it is good to show it and if it wasn't forthcoming, just move on and look elsewhere next time for handouts.

Cheers.
Fashion › Re: One Woman’s Gift, Another Woman’s Rag by Sensiblerealist(m): 1:14pm On May 13
Just let it slide if you can't talk to her in a very subtle manner.
I mean subtlety by saying: mummy this or that, I didn't meant insult your sensitivities when I asked if you take those clothes. You could have just said NO, Thanks instead of turning the treasured dresses to rags. I'm sorry if I offended you by making it seem you needed clothes but I understand some people don't like used stuff.

A lawyer, Mr. Mohammed Ahmed, who announced his appearance for the convict, told the court that he did not know his whereabouts, adding that calls placed to his phone lines had failed to connect.

Can you just imagine this!
You made appearances for defence and you are telling the court that you can't reach the defendant.
So how did you get paid?
Who briefed you?

Something is fishy. Most sentencing is Nigerian are served concurrently. E mean say this guy really step on toes. This is good though if it can be sustained, and not just a one-off. The politicians will start thinking twice when embezzling

I could say to you that you should have told him how you felt earlier but thinking about it, even the colleagues never bothered to send you a message of support or whatever.
This is feasible cuz I've had experience close to this.

That's the reason I detest uncouth , ill-bred kids like you. We can always disagree, no issues but insults should be avoided.
Speaking from both sides of the mouth while trying to reason with you; as well as passingmy views across.
Shame on you for being infantile and myopic


dapadawee:
You are speaking from the both side of your mouth. Why will she take the girl to pack. You know Nigeria road more than Nigeria you know the road to her village you know where she can enter her village bus. MUMU

I thought JAMB said they don't announce highest result again, so what happened this time?

Is it because a Yoruba girl got the highest score this time?

Be calming down a bit. I usually prefer not to engage cuz most of you guys only insult first , then reason later.
You are also guilty of that quick judgement you accused someone of in your submission.
Can I tell you that Cameroon also has English speaking areas in the northwest and southwest with cultural affinity to Nigeria especially Buea where we are alike even in clothings . They dress like Benues and Cross-Riverians with some differences.
The local lingual and food are alike as well.
So words like ashawo, FuFu, Cassava and the likes are so common.
I can go on and on cuz I have friends and colleagues from there.
So you might be right and you might also be wrong in your hasty judgement and generalisation.
They also do human trafficking there , like same in scope as Naija version. I wish the Police van impartially investigate so as to confirm this isn't a set up


dapadawee:
Oga, go and sit down always quick to judge and condemn Nigeria police force. You came into a country and picked a random girl to take to your country without parent consent. It's a business she has been doing and the informant gave police information.
Though it is very possible she was set up by the police and their agent informants and the police just want to chop inside or why would you think they have her phone to make contact out of the cell nobody monitoring her.

But the truth is that she is not innocent how can a Cameroonian pronounce ashawo fluently how does she know what is called ashawo house. If she had said prostitution I would have agreed.
You guy saw tears and jump to defend her.
When someone told you she is forced to do ashawo why not tell her to report to the police.
I know that area well nothing you fit tell me that hotel should be within Ajegunle orile trinity Alaba amukoko or festac. How can she pronounce kirikiri very fluently

I'm not disputing your posers, seems more like I'm buttressing them.
What I should stress instead is that the system makes it easier for people who have no business on the road to get away with illegally being on the road.
Assuming they know they have a steep price to pay when caught driving without a license, the rate of accidents will reduce.
Moreso, illiteracy is a major factor as well. I dare say probably more than 70 percent of road users dont know anything about right of way, use or horns, head lamps, fog lights etc


Kalulu44:
Let me ask you one more question. Is it the having or not having the license that causes accident or individuals.
Bcus many people with driver's license have had accidents too.
.
Let me give you an example. I drove for 20yrs, between 2005-2015. In those years I only did my licence of 5yrs and renewed it once. Meaning I drove for the better part of 10yrs without license and never had any major accident thru out my driving career.
So those years of not having license, why didn't not having license makes me have accidents.
.
In other words what I am trying to say is: license or no license, if you know how to drive is that you know to drive. License is just like certificate that shows people that you truly are. And I am not saying having license is not good, it's very good and important bcus of the law.
My only objection here is many people attributing many accidents to those who doesn't have license.
.
And I will repeat it again, license or no license. Nobody can just hop into vehicle and wants to drive it when in actual sense he doesn't know how to drive, that's my take
Health › Re: Help! My 17-Year-Old Daughter Has Never Seen Her Period by Sensiblerealist(m): 3:44pm On May 11
That the uterus/womb is absent/underdeveloped doesn't stop them from being fertile and virile.
The absence of the womb is why she can't menstruate because there is no blood flow there and the epithelial linings of the womb that comes down with unfertilised every month and blood tissues are absent.
But they produce eggs normally and usually have adequate quantities of female reproductive hormones

Bleiz:
How can you produce eggs and won't menstruate?
Travel › Re: 11 Die In Midnight Crash On Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway by Sensiblerealist(m): 3:35pm On May 11
At least, that for dey weed out nonsense from the system.
In other climes, driving without a license is one of the gravest offenses one can commit but around here, 500 naira bribe go sort am


Kalulu44:
Lolz! Does renewing driver's license makes one knows how to drive more than he has know before.
Travel › Re: 11 Die In Midnight Crash On Abeokuta-Lagos Expressway by Sensiblerealist(m): 3:05pm On May 11
Some of these guys don't even have a driver's license or probably has one they have not renewed in donkey years.
Just be careful out there and pray for God's protection
Health › Re: Help! My 17-Year-Old Daughter Has Never Seen Her Period by Sensiblerealist(m): 10:22am On May 11
As long as she can produce eggs, IVF surrogacy will take care of it. The down part is the awkwardness around her when are friends start noticing she doesn't have her monthly menstrual cycle

This guy that talks as if he is the President of West Africa if possible. Always with threats against perceived anti-fulani sentiments

On a side note, naso dem dey gradually erase Nnamdi Kanu from people's subconscious. Nawa for this country.
Though I do not subscribe to the vast majority of his deeds, mostly utterances, it has become absolutely expedient to juxtapose the instruments of State use for his capture/kidnapping and the kids glove with which the security situation since then is being handled.
There is relative calm in the South East but everywhere else is on fire.
