For payments, use Mastercard or Visa cards that you can use in any country. Don't use the one that give you headache on currency conversion. There's this Nigerian mistake where we think US dollars is the currency of the world. A lot of us convert our money to USD or think that everyone else will automatically collect our USD from us 😂 Surprise, most countries are proud of their currencies. Use a card that allows you pay locally. There are solutions like Blink or Kalabash or even Paga.
Number 4, download the map of the country or city for offline use. Also know that there are other maps and it's kot just Google maps but to save your data, try to download the whole thing. Don't forget that before technology, we had paper maps. Your phone map are only real time, it doesn't mean the world changes once you set out and borders get remapped
HisSexcellency: If truly this line of Obi/Kwankwaso being in the race is in favor of President Tinubu. Why then is the APC and its supporters all out against Obi
. The art of propaganda is to make you question your truth.
God1000: Such provocative and baseless statements spread division and hatred in the society, Without concrete evidence, branding an entire community's voting or political parties as 'anti-state' or 'terrorists' goes against democratic values and is a highly irresponsible act."
. I don't know if you have heard some of these kind of talk by APC in Nigeria. You will hear more in days to come.
SixSeven: Death is the only constant thing in life that equals all human beings.
Tradition that feeds on fear will one day starve on truth because a home that threatens death cannot teach loyalty but fear. As much as I want to be ethical and tell you it's wrong for anyone to cheat, the reality is that life is not fair and we know who is affected the most. Some of these laws were written for inheritance, not for fairness. It's just like someone who says a man should live in his in-laws house when there are proverbs that warn against it. So if that his wife dies, what does her family do the man (widower)? Send him back? Customs and traditions protect the future first, even when the present bleeds. We all want order, that's why they had many of these things as deterrent to prevent people from the disruption of social order.
When a child is born, the mother is known but the father must be proven. Our people were not ready for confusion, no DNA so they came up with another proverb that only a mother knows the father! This is still true today if you watch paternity cases, despite DNA and advancement in tech. The elders punished where they were certain, not where guessing began because lineage fears confusion. Some of the judgment they served then is now called jungle justice. Bear in mind that we have a lot of traditional families and they didn't want a bastaaard to inherit the throne.
There is a popular case on Justice Funmi's show. You now understand why they say only a mother knows the father. If you listened to the woman alone, you would have made your own wrong conclusions and convicted the guy
But when the guy came to give his story, you now understand the wisdom of our fathers that it's only an old foooool who judges by listening to one side alone
I am just trying to remind women that the reality of their promiscuity is more dangerous than the reality for men. Call it unfair but that's the reality.
Have we thought of why parents focus on the girl child more than the boys? The womb is the doorway of ancestry, so it bears the heaviest lock. The best way mothers knew then was fear that's why they said if you slept with a boy you will die
What enters the house through the woman stays for generations. A man’s mistake shames him but a woman’s mistake reshapes the clan. That's why even if a man did OS, by the time he repents, he will find a virgin to marry. Same cannot be said of a woman. Call it double standards but its the reality of life. That's why I said there's ethics, there's reality of the morality and there's understanding of why we do things because....
A man’s doubt sleeps in his mind but a woman’s doubt sleeps in the child. Everything is just to protect women from giving us children we are not sure who the father is or causing confusion by breaking social order
The fields are not level, don't waste your time. A man cheating is not the same thing as a woman cheating but do you know who men cheat with? Women if he's not gay
SixSeven: Women don't have capacity for multiple heartbreaks or letting go of 9 other men especially if the 1 she chooses does not do well like the others.
Men do not perform well in a group interview setting. When a man realizes a woman is actively dating other men, his instinct is rarely to fight harder. Instead, he will protect his ego and steps back. He assumes the woman is not serious about him, so he stops investing emotionally.
This then creates a cycle where the woman thinks he does not care, but in reality, he is just matching her lack of exclusivity. This is why you see men wanting to know if there is someone else for you before you start dating. If he's not interested in knowing them, then he just wants to use you. Men know what they want but when they tell women, the options confuse them, that's why they keep choosing short term gains for long term grains.
Women are generally wired for emotional connection not multiple dating because it forces a woman to suppress her natural empathy and act like a manager. She has to constantly compare, analyze, and keep her guard up. This is why we also say it is difficult for women to cheat like men. It's not about competition. The nurturing nature of a woman is to care for her own. Even with children, give a woman 4 children, 1 for her , 1 from her sister and 2 from her in laws. You will see how she will treat them compared to her own child.
Treating dating like a game where the "winner is announced in church" will eventually backfires. You cannot build a deep foundation of trust while keeping nine other guys on reserve. The honest men who want a real connection will leave the game early because they dislike the drama. The only men who stay to "compete" are the players who enjoy the chase, meaning the woman usually ends up picking the most charismatic liar of the bunch. You got played sista!
Ps: this is another reason for having the marriage institution. To help the woman vet who is good for her in the long run, not for her to be playing cards like casino game
epainos: I am very confident that even the whole north decided to not vote for Tinubu, he will still win. The aftermath is what I can't predict. Or God stops him.
Also, I can confidently tell you that only a Jonathan can say "the blood of Nigerians is not worth his ambition". I cant say this for this man, and even Buhari.
My own prayer is that God in His infinite mercy should just have mercy on Nigeria.
Eriokanmi: We jeed more sir. The givernment of the day doesn't deserve kid glove treatment
Opposition is sleeping. I get it that APC does not want them campaigning, the streets are filled with APC posters only and it will take you time before you see other parties but this is the best time and chance for the opposition. If Tinubu is tired and weak as they claim, they have enough to hit him below the belt. His teamship will only explain taya. Interestingly, Obi is now having town halls (I think they know APC will not let them use open spaces anyhow) but there is less bala blue than expected.
VOsimhen144: Fela said “I no be gentleman at all oo”
Sometimes you don’t need to act like a gentleman especially when you know the kind of demons you’re dealing with.
If them throw you akpu, throw Akpu back to them If them show you their strong yansh, show them your strong yansh too. If them show you their iron balls, show them your iron balls too
Nobody has monopoly over violence.
You and the previous poster quoting Fela is not a coincidence or is it?
Ombre: Werey corrupt officials must have moved on to other opportunities as baba refused to lobby and give them kickbacks or whatever corrupt venture they had proposed.
I hope I am wrong and put to shame.
I hope you are but unfortunately I can't beat my chest to say you are not because a lot of people we have heading our affairs are myopic and selfish. They can't think far.
SixSeven: I called Seun's attention to this blogger and how compromised his mods are. This OP's topics always hit the front page so don't worry about whether it makes sense or not. The OP is always promoting their YouTube and intentionally giving you little details so you can watch. This format has happened a lot on Nairaland with different monikers and the mod who is always willing to push their content to FP.
Seun you are not serious about this so called reforms if you don't reign in your mods. I got banned because of this issue on this thread. Your mods connive with some accounts here and push rubbish, low quality topics to the FP. Cowards die a thousand times before their death. After posting it twice on this low quality thread, which is usually those monikers (like this OP) that they are trying to promote the person's YouTube page, the mod banned me and cited abuse of mods. What a cowardly move. Ban me again, doesn't change anything. Your mods will put your site in trouble because those blogs they push to FP are only interested in views and clicks, not quality. I know the amount of fake news they have pushed to FP. Those bloggers don't care about your site, they care about their numbers and your site is a channel for opening their views. It's up to you.
The coward lives long to show the brave man's children where their father was buried.

It's funny that while his brother, Ayodele Fayoss introduced stomach infrastructure to our polity, he is now working for them in APC. I remember they condemned him then because he was not in their party, now he's the best to help them. Hypocrites!
zoedew: Leave all that for the classroom and grammar people. For now all that matters is winning the 2027 elections. The other day when Tinubu told the Political John Cardinal Onaiyekan and the Catholic Bishops that he would do all it takes to win in 2027 they misunderstood him. As things stand today even a Catholic sitting Governor will work to ensure that Tinubu wins and the Saturday following the win he will go for Confession! That's all it takes to slap a Cardinal hard in the face and get away with it!!!
You proved my point. Thank you.
About the Cardinal, you can take your time to watch what the Church's position is on the 'Father' and the one who tried it before him in the 80s.
DaudaTheSexyGuy: This is one of the reasons why I don't ever send text messages to my girlfriends who are married
An example of what we mean by human beings and how they will manipulate technology. For instance, the way people act when they know there is CCTV around is not the same way they act without it.
Technology has more records than human beings have, this post is not proof of anything. What's worse is where there is no record at all, technology creates a ticket for every transaction. Humans are smart and they have been cheating through the centuries, it's not one machine that will make it easier. Unfortunately you will be paranoid if you want to know everything like using secret cams, monitoring your partner's GPS etc. Live and let live.
zoedew: I am sure academics worldwide in the field of political science are studying Wikepolitics as we speak and it is sure to be a Coursework in universities someday soon.
Me I study him for entertainment value but without Tinubu, he won't be where he is today and he has further shown that Tinubu is a fake democrat, all he wants is to win
SixSeven: Wike has no option than to back Tinubu is what it sounds like. Atiku is Tinubu's opponent, Wike also became Atiku's opponent. Tinubu found that my enemy's enemy could be my friend, this is why he can't let him go. He is very useful for his type of politics. Buying houses for judges and trying to wet ground 🤡 Corruption 26
Repost
He learned it from the so-called democratic or progressive man 🤡, his boss, Concensus. For Bola to stake his head in Rivers and declare a state of emergency but he never did in Plateau, Niger and everywhere else there has been mass killing is proof that politics is his favorite subject, not governance. Wike is proof that Bola is not a true democrat and the power he has today is for his selfish reasons. This further confirms that Tinubu did not win Rivers state so he has to use force in the state.
Tinubu's path to victory is
1. Voter apathy
2. Divided opposition
3. Force/threat (he has been using this in Lagos for long but with federal resources, he now has governors like Okpebolo, Wike, SP Akpabio who's always assuring that he will win and others to threaten people to vote him or else)
4. Money (what's your price? This is why he and Atiku are two sides of a coin. In a poor corrupt country with little morals, many are willing to sell their convictions for the highest bidder)
5. Propaganda (gaslighting, see how they celebrate the uncompleted coastal road, they will accept no responsibility but blame everyone else using religion, tribe and other distraction from the main issue). The way they counted fake millions of vote is gaslight in. Gaslighting is the manipulation by psychological means of a person (or group) which causes them to doubt themselves, their capabilities or their sense of reality.
Can you now see the big picture on why Bola holds on to Wike? Lagos, Kano and Rivers are important states. The NNPP governor that went to APC and they thought they had it in the bag, the Lagos government they have been holding for years and now Rivers will still not give them the rigging they desire.
The same Wike that called APC cancer is now the doctor Tinubu appointed to help him with his campaign. He doesn't mind anti party as long as he 'wins'. Now, if there was no proof that AC/ACN cut deals just for power in the past, this is proof now. AC sold Ribadu to keep Jonathan in power and they didn't mind losing Rivers Governorship so they could 'win' presidential elections in 2023. Democracy indeed. His lackeys will come and rewrite it as being smart, strategic and political but all I see is a desperate, insecure person who cannot let his work speak for him. They believe that everyone has a price and whether you love them or not, they will get what they want because emilokan 😂
"Everyone claims to be democratic but not everyone is faithful to his or her word. We have governments that are democracies on paper, but not in function. They are democracies in form but not in substance. We have governments that only know democracy primarily through breaching it"
~ words on marble by Jagaban Asiwaju BAT on June 10, 2013
Racoon: Charles Soludo has been well compensated for all his tirades against Peter Obi.
But seriously, these are interesting times. To appear on another party's presidential campaign list is enough for the party to take you out. Imagine Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Republican's Presidential campaign list. Or Badenoch working for the other party. These our politicians are mumu, the joke is on them🤡
Nigeria never supported the war but they blame the war for our suffering, yet Iran that is being attacked does not blame Nigeria or USA. Have you ever thought of that? Their refineries got hit by US, they fixed it immediately, no stories. Ours have been telling stories since God knows when. If a country at war can fix its problems and don't use the war as an excuse, we are being scammed in Nigeria with all these excuses. Don't forget that Iran is still under sanctions and Nigeria is not. I think Iran cares more about its people than both Nigeria and US.
USA took out Maduro and collected crude from Venezuela, they recently bypassed pipeline agreements with Canada where Trump was claiming they have cheaper oil than Canada so they don't need Canada's oil anymore. Bro, these guys in government don't give a damn about us. Energy security is important in every country and out of the 3, Iran has demonstrated what it means in real time than any other country.
Very nice question. That's what they have been brainwashed with unfortunately. If you tell him that Asians were once called black by these people, he won't believe you.
All that interests me is the scam of petrol pump prices. Iran wey suppose de suffer na im Nigeria de blame for oil prices 🤡 and na im still get cheaper oil pass USA wey de beat am. Nigeria and US are the teachers wey de teach us nonsense.
psalmsjob: Just forget the photo matter even me stated it in the comment that the photo is fake but the fact of the matter is not fake.....
1. didn't Sani Abacha appointed Peter Obi to manage Port?
2. Didn't Peter Obi himself said he made enough money from that appointment to buy houses in London and displayed the house documents?
I have the video of that but just answer the 2 questions to prove ypur integrity if you have it and know what integrity means according to you.
You post something that is fake but still using it to justify your point. You still don't get the meaning of integrity 👇
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral or ethical principles that you refuse to change.
Meanings
• Moral Honesty: Firm adherence to a code of uprightness and character, meaning you do the right thing even when no one is watching.
• Wholeness and Completeness: The state of being unimpaired, undivided, or complete. The word comes from the Latin integer, meaning a whole number or entire entity.
• Structural or Systemic Soundness: The physical or functional condition of remaining strong and undamaged (such as a building's structural integrity or data integrity in computing).
Maintaining analytical and journalistic integrity means that a valid conclusion cannot be built on falsified evidence. When an argument relies on a fake photograph, ignoring the fabrication to prove a point, it undermines the entire claim and destroys credibility. That's what you still don't get but I now understand what Obi means by you cannot claim to want to be called Your Excellency without going through the process of excellence. I think he overestimated the moral compass of the electorates. In logic and investigation, the process matters as much as the conclusion. If a premise or a foundational piece of evidence (your photo) is proven to be fake, any argument built directly upon it is fundamentally compromised. You cannot use a lie to establish a truth. Once an audience discovers that a writer is knowingly using or ignoring a fake image, they will no longer trust the rest of the narrative. Even if the underlying facts are entirely true, the use of fabricated media poisons the well. The audience will naturally ask If they are willing to overlook a fake picture, what other details are they exaggerating or fabricating?
Newspapers back in the day knew the meaning of attribution and credibility of their sources, that's why they took labeling seriously. Confirmation Bias or Opportunism is weaponizing any piece of media, regardless of its authenticity simply because it supports a preferred narrative. And it's that preferred narrative you want to drive.
psalmsjob: I get una where i want una...i know you guys will focus on the already dubunked photo even in the comment and aviod the confirmed fact that Abacha appointed Peter Obi as port chairmen leaving out all his military officers at that time but appoint Peter Obi and that Peter Obi himself said he made money to buy properties in London from that appointment.....explain these facts as you don explain the photo and same goes for your other WhatsApp group members SixSeven that were attacking the photo but avioding the comment.
What you don't understand is what integrity is. I wrote something about that some months ago 👇
SixSeven: 🔼 If you think what I wrote above is not true, look at what I found recently 👇
Look at the first two photos of Obi on PM news.
AMINDA burst the fake news and showed them the original.
You can say it is politics and let's ignore it but it's more than that. If people are willing to lie against someone and put another person's picture in the name of politics, think about how Donald Duke's picture was used in this man's documentary.
This is the same country where Salisu Buhari's lawyer, the legendary Chief Rotimi Williams (san), advised him to drop his 500 million libel suit and confess to his crime. In 1999, the newly elected Speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives, Salisu Buhari, was exposed by The News magazine for forging his age (claiming to be 36 when he was 29) and his academic credentials, including a fake degree from the University of Toronto. This was a country where lawyers will tell you what the right thing was.
This people are showing you who they are so I cannot blame them. If you continue to select them, then your children will learn from you and what you tolerate as standards.
