This man is an embarrassment to the academic community. I wish he had lived in the core north

I bought my own GLO SIM card in 2005, but I have since lost that number. My MTN SIM card I bought in 2003, still remains my main line

LIVINGICONREBOR:
This season is quite different. Take it to bank and cash in on it. Come May , Arsenal is winning the EPL trophy.

Alright, no problem, we shall find out in 4 four weeks time

LIVINGICONREBOR:
Arsenal will still win this league. Man city is not the man city of old, they will surely lose their games. Arsenal will be epl champion come May. It is already written in the stars.

Keep consoling yourself bro. The bottling company has just begun operation

Man city are now in the title race. They have their destiny in their own hands

Can you imagine? Using obsolete ammunition to fight in the 21st century

Omoawoke:
Even with this 2-0 first leg win, I can tell you it’s never sure for Athletico Madrid

Guy, it's over. Let's meet next week

Make everyone come back home

Emvico247:
This Barca no know road

Tell that to the gods. AthletiCo have their number as far as UCL is concerned. Once Madrid are out, then the course is clear for Atletico to win their UCL title

Omoawoke:
Leading 1-0, playing with red card advantage yet playing like cowards

Do they think Barca won’t beat them at home even if they manage to go with the 1-0 win

Take it to the bank, Barcelona are out

Thank God oo. See match I had wanted to stake heavily

GabrielYulaw:
This is a university of the very religious kind, and look at how they are brazenly lying about everything. Goes to show religion in this country na show that no one actually believes or tries to live by.

How are they lying? Were you there?

kunle4toyeyaho:
If northern votes are the only thing required to be president, Buhari should have become president before 2015.

Can you give us the infographics of Buhari's performance in the north in the presidential election versus the winning candidate prior to 2015? That will help us to analyse your claim

Bukola94:
Many bet against them Vs Arsenal. Arsenal knack them 3 and... They were stunned, I meant the Madrid players and fans

Who be Arsenal for Europe?

I'm not in support of that bill. Let them remain the way they are

I want to know something, has Tinubu gone back or he is still around? I was at angwa rukuba earlier today waiting for Tinubu only to be told he won't come. Why would he come to Jos and not visit the scene of the crime? Let me believe he is still around and will come around tomorrow

jaxxy:
How long was he trapped In the lift? which hotel in abuja? why is shehu sanni passing information like a level D influencer?

I wonder oo. I hate this type of halfbaked news

I don't understand why they still post corpers to Borno. It should be only Borno indigenes that should serve their. May the Lord comfort his family

Thunder go fire Tinubu. Adeleke ,4+4 is sure

It's a waste of declaration, because he will not win

ajalawole:
may his memory be a blessing...
No matter how expert the person is, that work Na 50/50.. You will have do dewire them with hand and move some distance for it to explode.... Two if my friend who are expert were kpiad in borno.. That work isn't a easy work at all.

Honestly it's a very risky job. If I were to be a security personnel, I wouldn't want to be in that unit. May God continue to rest their souls and comfort their loved ones

I can't believe Chelsea being dismantled in this manner by Everton

Kalulu44:
First of I am a United fan. Since last season I have been supporting Arsenal to win a title especially the Ucl just to shut Chelsea fans mouth up and I am still rooting for them this season. This season league I also tip them to win it but don't want it to be smooth sailing.
As a United fan you know I can never wish Liverpool to win it and surpassed our 20/20 title and also don't want City to win it either bcus of they're our neighbors and have been dominating it recently.
There was a time this season I was even clamoring for Villa to go for it until they fell by the way side.
That's why I said they will multiple trophies this season if they put in more effort.
As for 5yrs dominance, I doubt that will happen

Arsenal to win the UCL? Is not gonna happen anytime soon

ajalawole:
I know 2 friends who are IED expart in the army all gone. To defuse IED and mine are risky itself.

Hmmm, very terrible. There's one anti-bomb expert named Sunday Badung in the NPF Kaduna that was decimated by IED in my presence some 15 years ago. It remains a harrowing experience for me till date

We pray for more of this to happen

Sonnobax15:

That nigha took the biggest riisk of his life.

Well,I've never had and I will never pray to have a near death experience.

But the only time I was close to one was back then in 2013 during my OND days in delta state polytechnic,ozoro. Before I rented my own apartment,I was attached to some guys,I think they were about 7 in number including myself which made us 8 in total then. They were all Igbo guys while I was the only urhobo guy among them. We were all living in a one room apartment and y'all know how students lives like. And our room was demarcated by a door and on the other room, was occupied by two other female students.

So,on one fateful night, around 12a.m, armed robbers came to rob the female students and they(female students) were screaming for help. On hearing them,those roommates of mine opened our door,then rushed to chase the robbers away. The following morning, their praises of bravery was allover the streets and across other hostels.

Two weeks later,the same set of armed robbers I guess returned. But this time around,they didn't come for the female students but straight up,for my guys .Fortunately I was out of school then.

Omoh, the kind beating wey my guys receive that day en . Na only God fit erase the scars from their memories till date. Their blackberry phones and foodstuffs,the robbers absconded with all of them . And they said as the robbers were beating and floggings them with machetes,they were asking them-"chebi una go form Rambo again"

Na when I return back to school,na then Dem begin gist me. Out of fear,na that very week I look for house pack out

Hmmm, those roommates of were lucky oo. The armed robbers were kind hearted

The guy made a very big mistake. Thank God for saving his life. Please no one else should try this, because you might not survive it. I must say your stories are always captivating, keep it up

Kalulu44:
Good morning NL. I want us to calm down and discuss this topic very well. Do fake and expired products such as drugs and foods really harm us?
Let me start by laying some examples from my experiences. Firstly, I am not a drug/medicine/tablet taker or English medicine as most people call it. The only English medicine I take is blood tonic which was introduced to me some 10yrs ago by my late mum.
Apart from that, I prefer herbal medicine "agbo" than Panadol, paracetamol and co which has really helped me never to visit any hospital for over 30yrs and counting.
This blood tonic, sometimes I miss taking it for months and sometimes I take it steady for months. And with this I know how it works and improve my body when I do take it and how I emanciate if I don't take it.

Middle last year I was employed at a farm in a remote village in Ogun state. I couldn't find that blood tonic for over 2months, and luckily one day a guy started coming to the village on bike with pharmaceutical products and I asked for the blood tonic. He had it and when I asked for the price, he told me #1,600. I was shocked with the price cus I last bought in Lagos #2,500. I bought it and started using it. For the 6 months I spent in that village, I bought from him 4 times. And to be honest with you guys, the blood tonic works perfectly as it has been working for me over the years. But the unbeknown truth was that it was either fake or expired ones this guy is selling for me.
.
Fast forward to earlier this year I was transferred back to one of the city in Ogun state. I went to buy this same blood tonic, and was told it's now #3,500. I exclaimed to the chemist, that I just bought this same tonic for #1,600 some weeks ago, he told me that must have been fake or expired ones. I then told him but it works perfectly without any side effects. He couldn't say anything but "e dey be like that sometimes".
That's scenario 1.
Some years back in Oshogbo I was working in a drink, wine and beverage store.

The owner of the store gives us most of the drinks to drink when they're about to expire or has expired.
There's a store where we keep drinks that has expired, and you can go take as much as you want. Though the owner always tells us to dispose of them if we don't want them.

We take as much as we can and dispose the ones we can. All thru my working there, not me nor any of my other colleagues complain of bad health, stomach pain or any other side effects pertaining to those expired products we used to take.
That's scenario 2.
Apart from this two scenarios, we or should I say I must have eating and drank so many things out there without knowing they're fake or has expired. And I still lived on strong and in good health.
I was born and brought up in Lagos, I can confidently say 50% of majority of things we eat and drink in Lagos are either fake, expired or adurturated. Why bcus I know majority of places this fake and adurturated products are being produce. But with this fake products seemingly out there in millions, Lagosians still survive and go about their daily activities as if nothing is happening. God forbid bad thing, if truly those expired and fake products are truly bad for health, won't we be hearing and seeing thousands of death everyday?
.
Sometimes a product been cheaper than the original one doesn't mean it's fake, just that another company tries to produce another one affordable to the common man.
My best cola drink is coca cola, but they're different and affordable cola drinks in the market for those that can't afford coca cola.
So are other products out there which are inferior to the ones we thought it to be but affordable, does that make the inferior ones fake or not good for consumption?
Some families can no longer afford beverages like Milo, Bournvita, Peak Milk and co. But they're many alternatives out there that are cheaper and at the end of the day you that used Milo drank tea, and they too drank tea. Tea na tea!
My last thought, I am not in any way supporting fake and adurturated products, but with the prevailing economic hardship, I don't think we can do without them.
As far as they're not causing harm to us.
I made this post in respect to the thread of Nigeria customs seizing containers of fake goods worth over #6b.
The irony of it is, yes they're fake according to the customs. But will they destroy it, I am very sure 90% they won't.
They'll still recycle it and sell to their cronies and it will still flood the market.
.
So guys I wanna hear your take on this issue regarding fake and expired products to our health and economy at large.

You see expired goods/drugs are not necessarily harmful. It's the preservatives that have expired and not the goods/products per say. They will still work perfectly after the expiry date but not for too long. As funny as it may sound, some adulterated/fake products are better than the original

Iran is a toothless bulldog. Since the beginning of this war, their government hasn't assassinated a single Israeli government official
