Supreme145: A close friend of mine invited me to a birthday party he threw for his girlfriend a couple of days ago. I initially declined the invitation but reluctantly agreed when the girl called me personally and pleaded with me to show up.
When it was time to get ready for the party, a peep into my wardrobe reminded me that I had no outing cloths. I hadn't gotten a new cloth for over 4 years. My sapa induced introverted nature somehow masked my need for new stuffs because I hardly go out. A sad reality hit me hard in the face... My two jeans and three tee shirts were badly worn out, no shoes either.
I shaa dressed up and left for the party. I immediately regretted my decision of honouring that invitation immediately I stepped into the venue. I looked so out of place... Guys were all dressed up in nice cloths and latest gadgets, I normally don't let those kinda stuffs bother me but I felt terrible that night.
I sat at a corner observing things till my friend's girlfriend came and yanked me off my seat to take pictures with some of her friends. A friend of hers used an iPhone with three cameras at the back to take the pictures, didn't know the model since both 12 and 13 looks similar.
I went and sat back at my corner till the photo guy came and offered to transfer some of the pictures to me... I hesitated because I knew I didn't want to see the pictures but the guy was persuasive so I gave in. If only I knew the embarrassment that was lying in wait for me.
We proceeded to connect to xender, that was when my antiquated camon CX air that I've been using since 2017 decided to show himself. My phone kept rebooting on its own endlessly till the guy got fed up and left. I was super embarrassed.
My friend still came today to transfer the same pictures to me but I objected vehemently because I looked miserable in all the pictures. I codedly observed guys in my compound dressed up for church and Sunday outings and came to the conclusion that sapa has been my best friend for a really long while.
HAPPY SUNDAY
Try backing up your data, then flash your phone ..... It might help

Reader530: Good day my people. I want to marry a girl. She respects me so much. She is very intelligent and hardworking. She is productive. She has many talents. In fact, during rainy season, she will leave city for her village and go to farm that is where she spens her annual leave. She cooks well, she can plait hair all styles and she can plait her hair herself of all styles. She is God fearing, always from work, church, domestic chores and other things at home that earns her money. She is beautiful but has a curved back. My challenge is curved back, how can I overcome this challenge. Matured advice please.
Vulturereloaded: Though i am supporting Tinubu, but i feel ashamed when we are looking for lies in Peter Obi as a campaign strategy, after 8 years. It makes it seem like we have failed Nigerians.
If we have nothing else to campaign with, then i might as well be campaigning for Tinubu with Peter Obis picture, since he is our only achievement.
You are behaving like a snake..... Read through your older posts/comments
Nayturalistic: Bros I can send u video clip of ahmadu bello in a 1964 BBC interview, make you hear Whetin that Hausa man talk about the Ibos.. na just their way..
Yet for Nigerian politics, they no for once get relevance.
Femifasola: Has anyone noticed how PDP and APC have found a common enemy in the Nigerian masses new party of Labour part,lol. Who would have believed that both PDP and APC would leave attacking themselves and face the so called structure less party. Reno O'mockery is always happy and ready to defend the APC people he claimed to hate by even defending them. Since the LP movement by the Nigerian masses he has stopped been a Buhari tormentor. This actually shows that the masses are getting something right, it's the old system that is fighting back. But LP will surely triumph. Actually na Buhari fit Nigerians, imagine the despicable things that have happened under his regime yet no protest including buying vehicles for Niger Republic in billions while ASUU is on strike, the bad thing is that even graduates who need their transcripts can't get it.
We must arise and reject the old order Irrespective of tribal or religious leaning. Insecurity knows no religion!!! Price of diesel and fuel knows no religion Price of bread knows no religion etc
You better be wise, your religion or tribal people wouldn't have their own different cheap market.
I'm yoruba and I stand for change from the old other.
It's cowardly to be shifting blames for your struggles or failures.
If there are issues raised by the parties you have mentioned, address them logically and reasonably, else ignore them.
Stop getting the wrong mentality into your head. This is why most Nigerians always have an excuse for their failures.... Always looking for opportunities to pass the blame around.
murecool: During a recent Arise TV programme titled “The Morning Show” hosted by Dr Reuben Abati, Ms Tundun Abiola and Mr Rufai Oseni, former All Progressives Congress Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomole claimed the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo currently chairs the Federal Government’s Economic Management Team. While answering a question posed by Ms Abiola, (what approach will the Tinubu campaign take since he will be running on the platform of the APC that has been in power for the past 7 years. Under his watch as the national leader of the APC, all the blames and the credits will be apportioned to him. Will the campaign be run on continuity or a departure from the last 7 years?), Oshiomole noted that “…in apportioning blame to people, you have to look at their roles. It is a fact that Asiwaju by himself said he cofounded APC, but he never participated in governance, never held any position in government, he didn’t carry out any contract on behalf of government, so how can you credit him? You can’t credit him either way.” “This is just being fair. It is not like the Vice President who announced that he has been given the responsibility by the President to chair the economic team. Not just the Economic Council that is in the constitution, but a special team put together by government and he chairs it. So, you can ask him to account for some economic policies. You can’t say someone who never in any way participated in government to be credited with the outcome of government policy or be blamed either way.” However is this claim that Osinbajo is the head of the Economic team accurate? Available public records indicate that the former Edo governor lied as the Economic Management Team of the Buhari administration headed by the VP in the first term had been dissolved since September 16, 2019. The EMT was set up in 2016 by the President to coordinate the Federal Government’s economic policies with the VP as the chair before it was dissolved. The team was dissolved in 2019 and replaced with the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC)with Dr Doyin Salami as the chairman.
Below is the full membership of the PEAC, according to a statement by the presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, President Buhari appointed the following experts: 1. Prof. Doyin Salami – Chairman 2. Dr Mohammed Sagagi – Vice-Chairman 3. Prof. Ode Ojowu – Member 4. Dr Shehu Yahaya – Member 5. Dr Iyabo Masha – Member 6. Prof. Chukwuma Soludo – Member 7. Mr Bismark Rewane – Member
8. Dr Mohammed Adaya Salisu – Secretary (Senior Special Assistant to the President, Development Policy) The statement by Mr Adesina added, “This advisory council will replace the current Economic Management Team (EMT) and will be reporting directly to the President.
“The Economic Advisory Council (EAC) will advise the President on economic policy matters, including fiscal analysis, economic growth and a range of internal and global economic issues working with the relevant cabinet members and heads of monetary and fiscal agencies. “The EAC will have monthly technical sessions as well as scheduled quarterly meetings with the President. The Chairman may, however, request for unscheduled meetings if the need arises.” Following the composition of the team, on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja administered oaths of office on members of the PEAC, and also set an agenda of what they should accomplish in the shortest possible time. Prior to the inauguration of PEAC, the Vice President headed the administration’s EMT, but ceased heading the group effective Sept 16, 2019. He only chairs the National Economic Council, which only has advisory responsibilities according to the Nigerian Constitution. The National Economic Council (NEC) was established by the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended; Section 153(1) and Paragraphs 18 & 19 of Part I of the Third Schedule.
The National Economic Council was inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari on 29 June 2015. Chaired by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, the NEC, which meets monthly, has the mandate to “advise the President concerning the economic affairs of the Federation, and in particular on measures necessary for the coordination of the economic planning efforts or economic programmes of the various Governments of the Federation.” Membership of the NEC comprises of the 36 State Governors, the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and other co-opted Government officials. From the foregoing, it is incorrect to say the Vice President is the chairman of the Economic Management Team. Currently, the chair of the PEAC, Dr Doyin Salami is now the President’s Chief Economic Adviser. According to the statement dated Jan 4, 2022, announcing his appointment, Dr Salami who is the Chairman of the Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC), is expected to address all issues on the domestic economy and present views on them to the president.
Richy4: <<According to what was written there,There was no evidence that he did drugs..
<<A guy was caught with drugs, he started singing like a bird, mentioning all names and Tinubu's house mate was mentioned,the investigators sniffed around Tinubu as well..
<< They discovered some money in his account that he could not account where he got it from (money laundering/ drug money was assumed)
<<Since he could not account for the source of those money, he was implicated..But since he was not mentioned, Instead of going to court to testify where he got the money, he decided to forfeit all assumed assets and property he had...
I hope my summary was good enough
I understand your summary and I think it's similar to mine. From what I read so far about the man, he was already a USD millionaire from the 1980's so no questions why he had such large sums of money. Probably his friends convinced him that they needed his account to be receiving/transferring proceeds of their business (drug) crimes. Obviously they wouldn't mention nature of business I guess.
It keeps happening today. Nigerians have to be careful nowadays even if your sibling or close friends needs you to take something with you across borders. We've heard so much rumours on how drugs are hidden in almost anything.
Because I know the US will always try and get a conviction if they have evidence against. The best you'll get is a lower sentence and not outright suspension of sentence.
I'm just trying to make sense of the chronic hatred for the man anyways.
Akurakambe: Tinubu urchins on rampage. How many times will you guys post this fake news here?
Daily trust fake journalist cannot complete their Bleep checking again? No more investigative journalism, shame on them
BTW, my town benefited from this project that is being factcheckd. Peter Obi used the money to build a Maternity complex at Niger Diocesan hospital umunze.
Go and verify.
Did he build hospital or maternity complex? Please clarify.
You can also help us if you knew of other related projects across the state. The claim was for 10 hospitals
Also was it completed before end of his tenure? The one that was built in your town?
Oluwashina72: Someone need advice! Iv been working for 6 months now and the first salary was used for some personal purpose but he tried saving 8k with a co-operative will be given 84k by November that's times two what he has saved..And he will still have to be paying back te interest on the 84k each month. But still owes an app some money about 15k and that will be paid next month when the salary has been paid, but he will still need to borrow some money to avoid being broke. he can't do without borrowing to fill some gap and avoid been broke... What can he do to avoid getting into debt... Help a brother
Keep hustling, make your skills known and when possible learn new skills that can earn you more (secure) income. It will not be easy but very possible
kelvincoke: The more the loan he collect, to the less value of the cooperatives money... He should try cut some expenses like recharge card on calls and data.. maybe on 101( eat in the morning and night alone each day). But 36k get as he be if he is a family man cos wife can endure it but baby can't. May God help us all
Even if he is single, just remove house rent first and feeding nothing is left
We are assuming here that working place is very close and possibly trekable.
It's not a crime to be able to change clothes, shoes or underwear when they get old/worn.

The best advice I can give you is to look for a sure low risk alternative income source.
Dave Ramsey will advice you never take any loan whatsoever and eat only rice and beans (no take outs) until you've improved your situation.
But with the state of Nigeria, all of the above may just be even more frustrating for you
