The girl is senseless.

Why stay in a place you're not welcome? What happened to Germany, Australia, Netherlands, France and other sane countries?

It's not easy to move just like that. When you hear from refugees, you will know that moving is easy in theory but painful in reality.

Goo0dHardDick:
The so-called chidinma no get sense at all. I hope they kpai her soon so she can have sense in the underworld.

What happened to relocating to Canada, Germany or Australia to go and stay there? The girl na mu.gu

Your hope can never be renewed. Dead people don't tell tales, there's no sense in the graveyard, no one is telling tales under the moonlight bro, it's only quiet. Her death won't teach her any lesson.

Actor and activist Siv Ngesi has found himself in the middle of a raging online debate after weighing in on a video showing demonstrators surrounding and appearing to confront beauty queen Chidimma Adetshina outside the Cape Town Regional Court on Wednesday, 19 August 2026.

I wrote last month that it's not that South Africans can't condemn it but there is a code of silence that if you decide to speak, they will come for you otherwise there is no need for the actor to find himself anywhere. Why didn't they come for Malema who has been outspoken on this issue?

Did you see that lady with the sign that Ubuntu is for South Africans? Omo, it is part of my daily prayer to not have this kind of South African virus. It's distasteful and ugly. Sorry Madiba, your people fall your hand

ChiefOloye:
Baba want to remarry probably a younger charming lady, he called "new chapter".

The older women get, the bolder they are. It's an inverse relationship. The man is looking for who will take care of him and give a damn about him while the woman is looking for final freedom. That's the paradox of growing older and relationships. Even if the man was older than her, she will get to a level where she don see you finish so there is nothing you as a man can do, you are vulnerable. She does not mind leaving, it's you the man that needs that thing she has there. It's a zero-sum game I guess because there is also the Invisible Woman Syndrome.

This is a documented psychological and sociological phenomenon where women feel increasingly overlooked, dismissed, or socially erased as they hit midlife (typically ages 40 to 50+). Society historically links a woman's social value to youth, fertility, and conventional physical attraction. When women transition past these life stages, media, workplaces, and retail environments frequently stop catering to them. It often causes women to suffer a sudden drop in confidence, identity loss, and a feeling that their opinions carry less weight in public or professional rooms.

The irony of this is that we look at young women when they are at their most unformed and ignorant but vibrant then ignore older women just as they become truly complete and self-assured

Generally, men age like fine wine so if a man wants to keep up at this age, he needs to make sure he is making less mistakes in his 20s-30s so he will have less burdens to carry on in old age. No one wants that much baggage at that time. Women are done with childcare and want to enjoy life or take care of their grandchildren once in a while... What am I writing sef? I don't know anything about life

Hedonisco:
Who the hell is Rotus and what does he know?

All these disgusting I too know 'anal-lysts' who yap nonsense theories.

Before the so-called removal of subsidy, was the economy materially and objectively better for Nigerians, yes or no? Was fuel cheaper and inflation lower for Nigerians, yes or no?

If the so called subsidy is restored, and fuel price is slashed to something like N500 per litre, will it reduce the economic suffering of Nigerians, yes or no?

These are the hard core questions that Nigerians care about. Not any senseless big English.

Rotus came from the US. Smart guy but if you listen to him, he's likely to follow a Western-style school of thought and apply it to Nigeria. In fact, I think Tinubu will like him because the capitalism influence is great to talk about in theory but are they appropriate for us? My big question though is that, subsidy is a form of welfare. What are the welfare Nigerian tax payers getting from their government? The elephant in the room is the big question for this subsidy argument,

WHEN ARE OUR NATIONAL REFINERIES GOING TO WORK

That question is as old as Obasanjo's first step into Aso Rock in 1999


I also remember this US Iran war. That war was a big eye opener to both Nigeria and the US. Despite sanctions from the US, Iran has never ever used it as an excuse to not have working refineries yet we blame their war for our fuel price 🤡 That Iran war is a good example that we have wicked people in power. If they can be fighting a war and despite their facilities being hit by US, they choose to repair it in 2 months, there is no analysis wants to tell me about Nigeria except that we don't have the willpower to love the nation. Wicked, wicked people we have in power. Very heartless

The excuses they gave for subsidy removal are weak institutional regulations. No consequence for crime and we've excused it away.

It's always convenient for our so-called educated people to refer to US and west but conveniently ignore your peers who are/were just like you.

SixSeven:
Look at this picture below. What does it say? 👇

Meanwhile in a country called Nigeria, what was the headline for this weekend? Obasanjo says NNPC refineries cannot be fixed 🤡

Iran never said let's wait for this war to end.
They never said maybe US will attack it again so let's not repair it.
They never complained about the sanctions. They never complained about world economy and all those nonsense those people smart by half come to preach to you online or on TV. They went straight to business.

This is the same government people abuse here meanwhile their own government in Nigeria doesn't give a damn about their welfare. The failure of a power minister says we should appoint a coordinating minister of energy after failing to restore power in 2 weeks he gave himself. President disconnected his own residence from national grid and went solar. Eeeeeeddddddoooots

GuestInfinity:
I would advise any woman even those who are virgins to avoid men who sleep with women anyhow and want to settle down with a virgin. Those kinds of men are very insecure and they are hypocrites. They expect to get what they can't give. They hold standards for their future wife that they themselves cannot live up to. They have horrible characters. Those kinds of men are walking red flags

.. I agree. It's not easy to hold body but it goes a long way to maintaining standards. You no go be like stray dog

SixSeven:
I like this theory but does it also apply to men

I have seen men who were players during their time and when they had a girl child, they became so paranoid because of yesterday's sins. Should men also sleep about with different partners until they are ready to settle down?

I am currently resolving a case where the guy used to sleep with girls until he chose a Virgin girl to marry. Now, he still cannot stop his oloshoism outside and giving all types of excuses to sleep out. He has made the wife to consider cheating because the emotional connection is tested anytime he steps out and she preserved her own body for marriage. He cannot control himself and his d. The thing is demonic and psychological. I would say to both men and women, people don't change easily. Sex and the lack of it is a resolve of people's discipline. You don't need to be married to be disciplined. How well do you respect your body?

Debate ke? Never. Teamship will do it on his behalf. It's because you guys let him go like that, that's why he doesn't give a damn talking to you and can always talk down at you. Buhari showed you long distance relationship for 8 years, una no learn. I no get any p to waste on pitying Nigerians. Una mumu never do🤡

Riches are different from wealth but we don't know many times.

Poor people think that the luxuries of being rich will make them wealthy until they become rich and know the cost of wealth is the opportunity cost of having all the material things in the world that gives you no peace.

Take a look at it. Sit down and observe what is usually luxurious. People want to go to an island with nature and some facilities with less people on it. You want to use a toilet that washes your bumbum and sprays perfume. You want massage. You want to eat with golden spoons and knives. You want someone to drive you. You want to play golf and so many amusements. That's what made us have Epstein Island. They want to escape from everyone and live in isolation but still in contact with nature. Yet they still need people. They don't want those buildings, jets and ships even though those things are what they used to get there.

The irony of pursuit is that in chasing riches to feel secure or happy, people often end up destroying the very freedom and peace of mind that true wealth provides. Riches are loud, wealth is quiet. It is what you do not see. It is the money that has been saved and invested rather than spent on items that lose value. Wealth gives you the ability to say no to a job you hate or take a year off to travel. It is the freedom to live your life.

Many people buy rich items to signal to others that they are important. But the irony is that people do not look at the person driving the sports car and think, "Wow, that driver is cool." Instead, they imagine themselves in the car. Riches are spent to buy respect but they rarely achieve it. Case in point, the car spotters.

True wealth is not about having a lot of things. It is about having options, control over your day, and peace of mind. Peace of mind is underrated.

What do I know sef? You go explain taya. You can never convince the poor person about this until they get rich enough to experience the reality themselves, then they know that they are so poor, the only thing they have is money

The OP says your mind will be at peace when you have money. You think Biggie's mo money, mo problems is a joke? He also says poverty will be making your heart do somehow. I don't think you've heard about contentment. Contentment is a powerful mindset that shields you from the endless cycle of chasing external validation or wealth. It shifts your focus from what you lack to appreciating what is right in front of you. A lot of Nigerians lack it, that's why they keep chasing the mullah and they see the man who is relaxed as muuugu. Travel and see those who are poorer than you in your paper money but richer than you in issues of life. It is the current structure of Nigeria that makes you think once you have money, you can solve your problems instead of us to think like a society. Look at our rich people, if you have a health emergency, don't you think before you jet out of the country to go to one foreign hospital, you will die? Or do you think even if you have the best Nigerian doctors with you, it will keep you alive while they are carrying your body upandan in the plane instead of you to have accessed a good quality hospital? Didn't you see the tomfooooolery of our elites during covid19 or how they keep making the same mistakes by spending so much money abroad when God has blessed our environment with free gifts but they refused to appreciate it and improve on it? Nigeria is a very classist and oppressive society so I just see people with their insecurities projected on others they think they are above. That's why they system may never work because the money helps them feel at least that all animals aren't equal. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM 🤡

When you understand the concept of money, you'll know why it is not everything. It is good in our current construct of life but only experience can teach you certain things. Maybe you have forgotten that your forefathers did not live with this current concept of paper money. Or the civil war did not teach you a lesson on how people who stored paper suddenly became poor? The current construct of society is deceiving you so much that you think to acquire all the gold in this world is everything but when you get it, you'll then learn the lessons of life. Anyway this conversation is more philosophical, experience is the best teacher. Enjoy your money. You don't teach a man how to enjoy his money. We came to this world with nothing, fought for everything, only to leave the things we fought for behind

Now I am confused. There are two topics about mascots praising Tinubu. The real mascot and the Mascot himself. Mods should take note on their FP headlines.

Psarmmiehbam:
That's one funny about life. Meanwhile, you set standards for yourself and you have certain specifications you expect in you man. But your kind of man also have their own standard and that's why they may never look at you twice.

My advice, accept and build the one you have currently if he meets certain characteristics of a man that knows where he is heading in life. Otherwise, your prayer point in Shiloh go really long and 95% go be make God give you any man

Well said.

Standards are high and it takes years of discipline to maintain the. Most boys just want to hit it and move on and we know this ever since girls entered puberty. Only parents and girls with brothers can relate to this. When you see the adults some people become, you will then understand what they mean by raising up a child to become a proper adult. I am talking about a good girl here. Good girls are not easy to raise and a lot of men are not serious with their lives. Ask men out there who have children and you'll understand what I mean. The way they raise their girl child, they are not raising her for one guy who is NFA to come and spoil her life.


The way people today treat sex, her standards cannot be much higher than before. Read the comments of the boys here on NL. After spoiling the life of another man's daughter, they still want a pure woman to marry. You even see them talking about single moms as used and condemn. They don't take them seriously. Why? Because another man has been there before. If a man gets an olosho pregnant, they insult him for wifing a community borehole wey other men de take enjoy themsleves. Can you see how they reason? I don't need to argue with them but read between the lines. Premarital sex is not good for you ladies. Life doesn't judge the man the way it judges women when it comes to sex. We are not equal. Do not be deceived. Your value is in your virginity. Check out the meaning of the word

noun. a person who has never had sexual intercourse. an unmarried girl or woman.

The only thing that is worth the effort for men is the unconqured woman and he has to pay the price for it. If he has you cheap without doing the rituals, you go ask what are we now tire. Una think say all those traditions are for fun shey? Check history and all societies, why did they preserve the women so much until marriage? It's not even about religion now. Women are the second creators of earth, if them mine that place anyhow, na disaster. Mine am well and all the gold and diamond go flow well.

Edit: even women who are secondary virgins, serious men are carefully listening to you on how you see sex. If they see you are easy to get into, you make them doubt whether they can have you at home without problems. Men know what they are doing, don't mind them. That your bottom is the goal and we know. Ignore our double standards.

SixSeven:
Marriage Is Not an Achievement But Responsibility Is
Many young people now reject marriage as a measure of success, and they are not wrong. Marriage by itself is not an achievement but it is a social structure. Now let me educate them a bit, what deserves closer attention is not your rejection of the idea of marriage, but the growing discomfort with responsibility that often accompanies it.

In African philosophy, a human being is measured largely by character. Achievement lies in the ability to act with restraint, care, and accountability. Marriage without these qualities is empty and freedom without them is destructive.

Sex has never been treated as morally neutral in any serious society. This is not because desire is evil and we are not biological people but because sex carries consequences. It creates emotional bonds, social expectations, and the possibility of children. A culture that treats sex as casual while demanding stable outcomes is not enlightened. It is inconsistent with social order and you can see the results today. One guy is always writing on his posts here on NL that the only advice he has for men is to conduct DNA.

For women, sexual fidelity was historically preserved to protect clear lines of responsibility but the ones who think they have opened eyes said it was for control. In a world without DNA testing, fidelity ensured that motherhood, paternity, and inheritance were socially legible. It allowed men to be held accountable and children to know where they belonged. Sexual norms were less about purity and more about responsibility. This did not mean women alone bore moral burden. Female sexual discipline made sense only in societies that demanded male duty in return. When restraint was expected of women but responsibility was optional for men, the moral logic broke.

Motherhood, like fatherhood, is more than biology. To bring life into the world is to accept obligation. The woman who nurtures, guides, and forms character performs one of the most demanding social roles that exists. A society that dismisses this labor while celebrating autonomy misunderstands freedom.
The family unit matters not just because it is traditional, but because it works. It is the foundation to society. It is the first place where limits are learned, where care becomes habitual, and where responsibility becomes personal. When family structures weaken, the cost of this weakness does not go away as people think it will fizzle out. It reappears in institutions asked to do what homes once did. There was a reason we said a community raises a child and why our proverbs talk about family and lineage. For so many years, the West tried to break our hegemony, they wanted us to leave our values and ethics and be like them while secretly admiring our foundation and structure. Thank God many people have japa now, they can now see the difference between oyinbo life and our society where each child is everyone's child but unfortunately when they go back home, alas even the people back home want to be like the oyinbo man without knowing it's a sad life disconnected from our roots as a people.

Young people are not wrong to question marriage. They are right to question hollow traditions. What must be reconsidered is not marriage as a trophy, but responsibility as a value.


Sexual freedom without accountability is not progress. Fidelity without mutual obligation is not justice.

I am happy this generation is sleeping anyhow and anywhere with anyone they like. When the chicken comes home to roost, you will then appreciate the wisdom of your forefathers and mothers in preserving the institution called marriage and why society needs order, accountability and responsibility. It is what we call you go see for yourself. When you are young you question many things but with age you start to understand many things too. Your parents got married because it was a sign of responsibility. Some people asked why the opinion of a married person was more important than that of an unmarried person. Those who maintained this tradition knew that it takes a special person to live with another wo/man as husband/wife and still be normal. That's why in the past, for politicians, they used to yab themselves if anyone of them had family issues that "you that cannot take care of your home wants to take care of our country".



Marriage is a school.
Freedom is a mirage.
Marriage is not an achievement.
Becoming a responsible adult is.

Putting Mr for person name in a cooperate setting is not a bad idea. Even whites will mostly Add Mr or Mrs or Miss.

I don't think so. I think we excuse it but over time, people get to learn culture. People are not dumb. The British are wicked in this. They go de call you sir or madam and still de abuse you.

A child who learns to wash their hands clean will eat with kings.

In Nigerian culture, washing your hands does not just mean hygiene, it is about learning protocol, exhibiting deep respect, and understanding boundaries. Humility is not foolishness but an access card. When you show protocols and give honor to whom honor is due, you are not making yourself small. You are actually positioning yourself to be invited to the high table. It is the person who humbles themselves that gets elevated.


I think the person just as youthful exuberance. You go learn. Even the foreigners who come to work here learn the protocols and eventually adapt so all that crap of oyinbo or you work in a company that mandates first name basis no cut am. People know what they are doing. I wanted to go do a job in China, I learned their corporate etiquette and protocol. For instance, they do most of their negotiating at lunch, not the boardroom. You find out that inviting you to lunch or dinner is intimacy and treating you with respect. The way they sit down too, there is an arrangement by hierachy and when you want to clink your glass, you raise yours lower than the superior's. In this life you must have sense. You cannot just sit anywhere in a conference room. The highest-ranking host sits in the middle of the table facing the room's main entrance. The highest-ranking guest sits directly opposite them. These are things that you have to learn. It's not by knowledge or book smart alone. Bow that's the east. Western culture look similar but they are not if you are traveled. As near as Canada de to America, they don't have the same culture neither do all people in UK behave the same way. That's why on embassy pages, they tell you about where you are going and their culture. Even within Nigeria, there is a protocol for the President or Governor entering a place. You all rise up. What do I know sef? I just know in this world, you sometimes have to act like a fool in the fool's world.

When in Rome, behave like a Roman. Part of education is understanding culture. It doesn't take anything away from you. Use your head.

Or do you see a Japanese ignoring elders and the respect despite being exposed to the US? Una go just dey carry una head, big head de do anyhow. Things may have changed now but whenever foreigners came to our place, they noticed our use of honorifics. We called older people Aunty or Uncle but because some few people have abused children, our woke people said we should cancel the title so children can speak out. When Dads or Moms abuse their children, do we change the title just because of that 🤡 Pikin wey dem no train for house na for outside e go attend him skool

That man we're all referring to as president of Nigeria is clinically clueless and corrupt.

All he cares about is my turn, EMILOKAN.

I stopped blaming him. He never hid his intention. He said it publicly:

Grab it, snatch it and run away with it

Political power is not going to be served in a restaurant. It is not served à la carte. At all costs, fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with it." (December 2022, speech to APC members in London)

"It is the turn of the Yoruba... and in Yorubaland, it is my turn." ("Emi lokan" (June 2022, primary campaign speech in Abeokuta)

"You've given me the mandate. Let me govern." (December 2024, Presidential Media Chat, widely criticized as an explicit dismissal of ongoing citizen pushback and accountability).

"Yes, before I was born there was hunger in this country. And I have no control of the population development of Nigeria's trajectory." (May 2026 statement on economic liabilities, viewed by critics as deflecting the executive duty of the state onto historical circumstance and the public).


"It is not going to be eldorado for everybody."
(December 2024 media chat, widely flagged by civil groups for signaling a governance approach that accepts unequal economic hardship under harsh fiscal policies).


"I stand before you proudly, noting that those who are afraid of the budget, the thoughts of borrowing. Yes, borrowing. If borrowing is a crime, the entire America should be in jail. If borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes-Benz and Lexus."


Man has never pretended about his intentions. Repost 👇
I have no problem with Tinubu anymore. The joke is not on him, the joke is on Nigeria as a society. A society that lacks integrity and explains away questionable things is making itself look like a clownish society. Tinubu is not the problem, it is the society that made it acceptable to lack integrity that is. In a normal society, it is APC as a party that would have screened out Tinubu, not the court. APC would have looked at who had better qualifications and moral compass as a party. It's not everything that is court or has to be written in the constitution. Some things are moral but what do I know? A whole SAN reminded us that the law is not moral and that's one of the first lessons I learned in law. Education is not enough, you can be educated but not learned, you can go to school but not schooled, you can come from a home but not raised properly and you can claim a lot of things but never be able to tell truth. Integrity is very expensive, all the money in the world cannot buy it.

Our problem is that we like to celebrate nonsense. And by nonsense I mean, we celebrate material things, things that don't have value, no worth but only craving validation because it is not authentic.

The elders used to say that a man who does not know where the rain began to beat him cannot know where he dried his body. Today, we no longer look at a man’s character, we only look at the size of his harvest, even if he stole the yams. We have turned our backs on the quiet truth of our ancestors to dance to the loud drums of foolish men. Of course, when a society begins to crown jesters and mock the honest farmer, the roof is already falling on the house. That's why they once said when a thief tells you to gotocourt, his brother is the judge. It means the system is fixed, and a dishonest person is only acting bold because they control or have an unfair advantage in the system meant to judge them. They control the system, they are the king of boys

If we crush the seed of integrity just to celebrate the chaff, what will our children eat when the famine of character arrives? Na there we de so. Ajekun iya ti e je ehn, Davido and SDM never got sing am well yet.

You don't know ECOMOMIX

Why are Nigerians fond of crowding people

TOPMAN4LIFE:
People like you believed that election worked because some governors lost their seat,
But refused to believe the election that produced the president

People like me know when to cite facts and figures. Going by INEC's published result, 20 governors did not win the state for their presidential candidate and that is fact. It does not indicate believe. Fact is that INEC declared Tinubu winner. If you can't interpret that statement, then you will not understand my comment. You need to understand what logic is, what deduction is and what comprehension is. My statement has in no way shown believe but simply used the figures they gave. The same people claimed Tinubu won Rivers but the figures do not tally.

AMINDA:
Tinubu continues to enable him and grant all his demands, but the day is still coming when he will tell Tinubu that he made him president

Out of the heart the mind speaks.

People like me know figures were manipulated and there is no need to convince anyone about that. It's not today results have been rigged or/and manipulated today. It's one of the reasons Tinubu can work with someone like Wike. If he won the election cleanly, he does not need him or his help. He will stand on his mandate gidigba. We are in this same country where Maurice Iwu till today has not given us the breakdown of Yar'Adua's election victory in 2007 but Obasanjo can come out to preach to us about democracy. No be me you go de try convince at this age of my life. The man himself know say him result no clean and the recent statement by Wike shows you what Tinubu is. And before someone tries to convince me again thinking I'm a baby, Tinubu is his minister.

I 100% support this man. It is what I've been writing here today 👇

Fact: in the 2023 presidential election alone, 20 sitting governors lost their states to opposing presidential candidates because the electorate chose to ignore their governors' preferences

They have no regard for the electorate, including the winner, Jackson, who should have thanked Osun people for their support and leave it at that but kept on mentioning the President, man who only cares about what he can get. They say it's politics, they say it's strategy but they think people are dumb. Let's see how 2027 will go and if his mandate shall stand. He thinks he can command Osun people like that. He never see anything



A. Aliyu
As a highly influential Northern governor and chairman of the Northern Governors' Forum, Aliyu pledged that Niger State's political machinery would deliver the state to PDP's incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. He openly campaigned under the assumption that his executive dominance would dictate the people's votes. The electorate did not follow his direction, resulting in one of the most lopsided defeats for an incumbent establishment in Nigerian history. Goodluck Jonathan was decisively rejected in Niger State, pulling only 149,222 votes. The opposition candidate, Muhammadu Buhari (APC), swept the state with a staggering 657,678 votes. Governor Aliyu also lost his own personal bid to transition to the Senate, losing the Niger East Senatorial district election to APC's David Umaru.


B. Elrufai
As an incredibly powerful founding member of the APC and a fierce loyalist, Governor El-Rufai went all out to campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Because the APC held full executive power and machinery in Kaduna, it was considered a guaranteed win for the party. Despite El-Rufai's tight control over the state, the electorate did not follow his direction. The state rejected Tinubu, and the PDP's Atiku Abubakar swept Kaduna State with 554,360 votes. Where is Elrufai today?

C. What happened to Sanwoolu or Ganduje or even Okowa who was actually on the ballot as the Vice- Presidential candidate for the PDP. He and his party structures confidently expected Delta State to vote entirely for the PDP ticket. Even with the sitting governor being on the national ticket, Delta State voters ignored his candidacy. The Labour Party swept Delta State with 341,866 votes, entirely rejecting the sitting governor's regional influence.

Or should we talk about Isa Yuguda and Bauchi and how Buhari beat PDP like pulp. These people are foolish to realize that Governors do not own the thumbs of their voters. Even Wike is being tolerated but let him try what he did again and see if the people will do like mumu again by changing their votes.

AMINDA:
Well, it's widely know that Tinubu only cares about himself. Everyone is expendable as long as he gets what he wants. Even the governors are beginning to realise that. Ganduje realised that. Elrufai also did. Same as numerous party faithfuls in several states including Penkelemesi Adelabu in Oyo. Tinubu will see the mother of all anti-party from APC members come 2027.

I will teach you politics gang. Just watch for a series of betrayals next year.

Goodvibes007:
Oyetola blocked his chance prior to the election. Now that election is done, perhaps nothing is stopping him again.

However, I don't see him joining APC. He would work for APC presidency while staying with Accord.

I am reposting this because of your comment that is bolded.

BondRiv:
This man is only interested in speaking about politics. When it comes to governance, he is missing. Did Adeleke not defeat an incumbent? This has nothing to do with the power of a sitting governor. If you work for the people, they will support you.

And this. Pay attention to the part, "Tinubu only cares about himself" and that is very very true. Tinubu worked with Atiku to get Lagos, worked with Jonathan to get Osun and abandoned his own Presidential candidate at that time, Ribadu. Tinubu worked with Wike to get Rivers state that was flawed. The man can work with anyone, friend or enemy as long as they get him what he wants. He can even rob Paul to pay Peter by rubbing oil on Peter's head

MyExpression:
Good name is more precious than gold.

However, I've noticed that most influential media personalities come from influential families with influence in Nigerian politics.

That's the power of access but I'm surprised that people were not told who the family was.

Queen Visits Nigeria | Oba Adeniji Adele of Lagos Greets Her | Major Ironsi Her Equerry | Jan. 1956

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v3abIuOxL0
The family belongs to the Lagos Royal Family. Ololade's great-grandfather, Sir Musendiku Buraimoh Adeniji-Adele II, was the highly revered Oba (King) of Lagos from 1949 to 1964. Some members of the family, such as Prince Ademola Adeniji-Adele, were highly influential political figures and commissioners in Lagos State and they crossed path with IBB.

The Adeniji-Adele family had a significant connection to the political events of General Ibrahim Babangida’s military administration, particularly through Prince Ademola Adeniji-Adele, the son of Oba Adeniji-Adele II. Prince Ademola became chairman of Lagos Island Local Government during Babangida’s transition programme. He became a popular political figure in Lagos and was involved in efforts to improve local transportation and other public services.

The family’s political connection to Babangida’s government can be linked to the June 12 struggle after Chief M.K.O. Abiola of the Social Democratic Party was widely regarded as the winner, but Babangida annulled the election. Prince Ademola, a strong supporter of Abiola, opposed the annulment and became involved in the pro-democracy struggle. Prince Ademola was not imprisoned by Babangida’s government. He was detained later, under General Sani Abacha, for his involvement in the pro-democracy movement and his association with Abiola and NADECO.

Anyway, the family was not only part of Lagos’s traditional ruling class but Prince Ademola had also been an elected politician under Babangida’s transition programme and later became an opponent of the annulment of the election. Around this time too was when they were moving the capital from Lagos to Abuja, IBB was president as he called himself in Lagos. Since the traditional institutions were strong back in those days and not as compromised as today, he definitely would know about them.

For that reason, if Babangida recognized the Adeniji-Adele surname when he met Ololade Adeniji-Adele, the moment may have carried some historical significance. However, it would be speculation to say exactly what Babangida was thinking or why his attitude changed during the encounter. What is clear is that the Adeniji-Adele family’s history connected traditional Lagos, electoral politics and Nigeria’s pro-democracy struggle. I don't know if I could write about some people's family this way. What do I know sef? Funny fact is that Adeniji-Adele is a bus stop on IBB bridge

I have no problem with Tinubu anymore. The joke is not on him, the joke is on Nigeria as a society. A society that lacks integrity and explains away questionable things is making itself look like a clownish society. Tinubu is not the problem, it is the society that made it acceptable to lack integrity that is. In a normal society, it is APC as a party that would have screened out Tinubu, not the court. APC would have looked at who had better qualifications and moral compass as a party. It's not everything that is court or has to be written in the constitution. Some things are moral but what do I know? A whole SAN reminded us that the law is not moral and that's one of the first lessons I learned in law. Education is not enough, you can be educated but not learned, you can go to school but not schooled, you can come from a home but not raised properly and you can claim a lot of things but never be able to tell truth. Integrity is very expensive, all the money in the world cannot buy it.

Seun: Does the President have evidence that he went to school, or did he homeschool for primary and secondary school?

Babatunde Ogala: The president will answer your questions when you ask him.

SixSeven:
Our problem is that we like to celebrate nonsense. And by nonsense I mean, we celebrate material things, things that don't have value, no worth but only craving validation because it is not authentic.

The elders used to say that a man who does not know where the rain began to beat him cannot know where he dried his body. Today, we no longer look at a man’s character, we only look at the size of his harvest, even if he stole the yams. We have turned our backs on the quiet truth of our ancestors to dance to the loud drums of foolish men. Of course, when a society begins to crown jesters and mock the honest farmer, the roof is already falling on the house. That's why they once said when a thief tells you to gotocourt, his brother is the judge. It means the system is fixed, and a dishonest person is only acting bold because they control or have an unfair advantage in the system meant to judge them. They control the system, they are the king of boys

If we crush the seed of integrity just to celebrate the chaff, what will our children eat when the famine of character arrives? Na there we de so. Ajekun iya ti e je ehn, Davido and SDM never got sing am well yet.

This message is not about the music or the musician 😕

When you say the truth in this country, you will begin to sound like a moralist, like a virgin, like a saint because we know what is true but it pains us when someone else is saying it and is not willing to participate in our lies. You don't look like you are normal anymore. Look at the Jemima Osunde video the other day, the comments to her outrage were not commending her, they were trying to normalize the madness they have created. Look at the drug smuggler Mawra and his NDLEA team caught, they were not even worried by the crime. They just wanted to replace him. Thieves. Idiotic thieves. They are so poor that the only thing they have is money.

Women are often jealous of other women and their children. It's easy to blame your mom but at some point, you can't keep blaming how you were raised, you have to take responsibility for who you choose to be. Trauma may explain behavior, but it will never excuse it. Take responsibility for your life woman. It's now yours. You are an ADULT. Your mum has done enough raising you, raise your own standards.

motymop:
The truth is that many people don't understand that inflation is the rate at which prices are increasing, not the present price of things

Based on the screenshot, the prices of these goods increased by roughly 563% on average between 2016 and 2026

If you calculate how much the minimum wage increased from 2016 to 2026, you'll realize it only increased by 289%. So, literally, wages have not kept up with the increase in prices

Imagine you bought 1k worth of something in 2016. If that same thing increased by roughly 563%, it would cost about 6.6k today

The government increased the minimum wage by almost 4 times, but the prices of these goods increased by more than 6 times, that's why higher wages don't necessarily mean people are better off.

Let's be truthful, 2016 wasn't necessarily a good year economically,iInflation was already high, the economy was in recession, and Nigeria had plenty of problems

10k was around 53% of the average monthly salary at the time and the minimum wage was 18k, while the average monthly salary was around 18.9k. So 10k was not a small amount of money in 2016

Today, 10k is just 14.3% of the 70k minimum wage but the key difference is that 18k in 2016 could buy substantially more than 70k can buy today

The real issue right now is that prices have risen much faster than wages. We need to review salaries so they keep up with the increases in the cost of living.

the biggest fear is if minimum wages increases, the prices of goods and services will also increase, leading to more inflation, the truth is govt need to lower business costs and also put price control for food, transportation, housing, fuel and electricity

Wow I love the analysis

Mariangeles:
Tinubu's stipend boys will soon come and tell you it's a lie.


2016 is even too far back.
Compare prices as recent as 2020 to presently, and see how much damage Tinubu has done to Nigeria's economy.
