BusinessRe: Dangote, Finally Explains Why His Cement Is Cheaper Outside Nigeria by sonofthunder: 7:08pm On Dec 22, 2025
ufotunang:
..if the naira appreciate, strengthen and have value against the dollars..the price of fuel will go down and reduce..Like if the exchange rate is like from 500 naira to a dollar ..the price of fuel will go down to like 250 naira to a litre ..
Yes also true but we'll need serious improvement in manufacturing and massive increase in exportation to achieve this.
BusinessRe: Dangote, Finally Explains Why His Cement Is Cheaper Outside Nigeria by sonofthunder: 4:20am On Dec 22, 2025
Truth is it will be great if prices of cement can come down significantly. The recent cost of housing from like last year hasn't been a joke for both renters and builders.

I personally fell it can still be cheaper but "capitalism" always takes care of "itself" first.

I also feel that fuel from the refineries should be around #500/litre but we won't get that unless there's a significant drop in prices internationally, or our production surpasses the need of the west African market

Jobs/VacanciesRe: New Offer Letter After Working For A Year by sonofthunder: 6:55pm On Dec 19, 2025
WebLab:
Good evening, everyone.

Please, has anyone experienced this before? I joined this company earlier this year and I am spending a year with them already. Immediately I joined, I was given offer letter and other documents to sign which I did sign them immediately and send back to them. Last week, I got a mail from the HR to sign an updated JD which I signed and returned. Again this week, I got another mail from the HR to come to their office to pick offer letter. Offer letter after a year of work!

I am thinking something might be fishing. Please house, has anyone experienced this before because this is my first time of coming across this in about 10 years I have been working.

Your contribution and guidance will be much appreciated.
From comments so far, everything might be in line.

But are you entitled to pension and is it being paid to your pension account?

What was the little quarrel about or this is something you don't want to talk about?

Is she naturally hot tempered or has a personal motivation to provoke you?

1) My family is taking it as a pain upon themselves because they know that she is taking my weakness as a strength to her because I don't talk or beat her, she has started misbehaving. This said ladies has slapped me over hundred times this year without me retaliate.
2) I started having the thought of divorce when she started misbehaving and hitting me and today when she stab me is what broke the camel back
3) No ( child) issue yet we courted for five years and the marry is one year and 8 months.
So what exactly were you guys about before she proceeded to stabbing you? What were you guys fighting about? The attempt wasn't while you were sleeping I would imagine.

She is not a runs girl or agbero but a church girl to the core, if she sing you will think Angels will come down but in aspects of this marriage, she is not worth it, and regard hearing her side of stories, I can't sugar coat my part in order for me to look lie a saint, in a forum that I don't know any person personally and for the root cause, I don't know why she is misbehaving because anything that man can provide for his family, I have done that in regards to feeding, accommodation, clothing, emotional, and otherwise so I don't understand her behavior and moreover thanks for your input
Well you could have given a few situations of things that happened without including any delicate specifics in your details.

It is hard to believe someone who had good behavior started misbehaving just a year ago. Although people can pretend for long, there would have been signs that connects back to current behavior. Doesn't mean she would have stabbed you during dating but maybe some aggression towards you or others

I think it's the other way round. Kerry visited Nigeria and met with the major political parties contesting the 2015 elections to avoid violence. Yes, the public opinion was that Kerry and Obama were supporting the opposition, APC at the time. From the sitting position, you can tell Buhari was clearly the host. You can confirm for yourself here

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/kerry-in-nigeria-to-urge-non-violence-before-presidential-vote-idUSKBN0KY0PZ/

However, what concerns Yoruba people here? Aren't there Yorubas who voted Jonathan, Atiku and Obi? Aren't there Yoruba states that are traditionally PDP, like Oyo and Osun? Has APC ever won any Yoruba state in a landslide in repeat elections? The votes that Atiku and Obi had in the last election in the SW, were there no Yorubas who voted for them? Falz, Delete Farotimi, etc? Atiku has won Osun state in back to back presidential elections! Some of you guys are irredeemably and emotionally unintelligent.

RomanceRe: Why I Lost Interest After Meeting A Pretty And Intelligent Lady by sonofthunder: 5:11am On Oct 31, 2025
tobeezman:
I met this fine geh at a tech event in Lagos.
Before the event started, we had a little chit-chat and mehn, she was exactly my type. Beautiful, intelligent, confident, and we just clicked. You know that kind of connection that feels like you’ve known someone for years? Yeah, that was it.

Throughout the event, we kept vibing, laughing at the same jokes, sharing ideas, everything just aligned.

At the end, I asked for her name she said Linda.
Cool name.

Then I asked where she was from, she said Anambra.
My eyes lit up. I’m from Anambra too!

So I got curious and asked, “What village?”
She mentioned it and boom, it’s in the same local government as mine. I was like, “This is fate.”

Everything was lining up perfectly.
She was single, I’m single, we shared interests, goals, and background… until one tiny moment changed everything.

She gave me her business card and I didn’t see a single Igbo name on it.
Both her first and last names were English.

When I got home, I texted her, I asked, gently, “Don’t you have an Igbo name?”

Her reply?

“I don’t like my Igbo name, and I don’t like speaking Igbo either.”

That one message drained everything I felt for her.
Instantly.

It wasn’t about tribal pride or anything dramatic, it was just the realization that we might see identity differently.
Because for me, being Igbo isn’t just where I’m from, it’s who I am. It’s the rhythm in my thoughts, the tone in my laughter, the root of my values.

And when someone rejects that part of themselves, it feels like they’ve rejected a part of me too.

So yeah… I ghosted her.
Not because she wasn’t amazing, but because something in me went cold.
My own problem with modern day dating is how you ghosted her without trying to see how to "add" to her life..... You seem to have just been watching out for what you could benefit.

May not completely be your intention but that's what it sounds like to me right now.
PoliticsRe: Yahoo Boys Are Geniuses Who Need Redirection – Peter Obi by sonofthunder: 5:23am On Oct 26, 2025
Newsgeek24:
Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says some internet fraudsters, popularly called “Yahoo boys”, possess exceptional creativity that could benefit the nation if redirected, Very Nigerian reports.

“Some of our so-called Yahoo boys are geniuses who need redirection, not condemnation."

"Their creativity and courage, if properly guided, can drive innovation and national development,” Obi said on Saturday in Onitsha, the capital of Anambra state.

The former governor spoke at the “Golden Health” conference held at the Archbishop Patterson Auditorium, All Saints’ Cathedral, Onitsha.

The event, themed “Money beyond wealth”, focused on promoting ethical leadership and moral renewal among young people.

Obi said he returned early from a two-day meeting in the United Kingdom (UK) to attend the conference because it addressed “a vice that has eroded our values — the greed for material possessions.”

He cautioned that Nigeria cannot attain greatness while celebrating corruption and rewarding dishonesty.

He reminded the audience that, while money is necessary, it represents only a small part of true wealth, which, he said, rests on integrity, character, and purpose.

“Real wealth uplifts both the individual and society, promotes education, reduces poverty, and creates opportunities for others to live dignified lives,” he wrote on X.

Obi added that the reckless pursuit of money has damaged Nigeria’s moral foundation, warning that no nation can progress if its leaders fail to model integrity.

“Leadership must lead by example, for a nation that rewards dishonesty cannot build integrity,” he said.

He urged young people to rediscover the dignity of labour and embrace hard work, saying nations are built “not by miracles but by men and women who think, work, and build.”

The LP chieftain also called for justice and fairness in governance, stressing that national development requires shared commitment rather than ethnic or religious bias.

“No religion or tribe buys bread cheaper than another. Nigeria is blessed with abundant resources; what we lack is the will to do what is right,” he said.

He thanked Owen Nwokolo, bishop of the diocese on the Niger, for his mentorship and commended the organisers of the event for their efforts to promote discipline and value-based leadership among Nigerian youths.
