That NDLEA man threatening to shoot someone has never seen mob action. Does he think he can shoot someone and leave that premises alive?

The update is that she has returned 54000 of the money.

An APC member who campaigned for Buhari if I remember this fellow well.

A very stupid woman.

She even has a father's house because her father made his marriage work.

Madam,
Take the Baale to the spiritual courts. That's how you hear of people dying in their sleep. Most of it is via spiritual slaps.

This woman is flirting with serious prison time.

Marriage is based on love and commitment. These transactional stuff now being pushed out even from the pulpit is just ridiculous.

This useless woman is a revisionist.

William Wilberforce was a slave owner!

The British took slaves until they lost America and then it became more profitable to colonize and take resources than to take take slaves to plantations they no longer owned in the US and Latin America. The Caribbean islands were too small and therefore slavery became unprofitable for the British.

The decision to end slavery by the British was a purely economical decision and not one based on humanitarian considerations.

The man is a real turncoat. He left PDP and expects to be given the chair to sit when others have been sitting on the mat since waiting for the current person sitting to get up.

How men can still be considering the bolded is truly beyond me. How much is an outing? How much is venue? How much is the afters? How many times a month will you run this racket?

In the days before the change of government, I was a man at ease and a man of means

Each month, I received eight hundred thousand naira after my tasks were done. It was sufficient for my household, for my wife, and even for Fatima my secrete mistress ; one whose laughter brought me secret joy. Life, though not extravagant, but was comfortable.

But when the times changed, so did my fortune.

Now I earn one million naira each month, yet it no longer carries the strength it once did. What once fed many can barely satisfy two. Before the fourth week arrives, my wife’s face tightens, for her kitchen grows empty.

Of all that I have lost to this administration and inflation, none pains me like Fatima, the rare gift that Lagos once placed in my path. Her beauty was such that even the strongest of men would falter before it. And now, as my purse has grown light, so too has her presence vanished from my life.

My burdens have multiplied.

My mother brings forth her needs like an unending stream, and I find myself unable to meet them as before. My in laws, who once looked upon me with respect, now see me as a man whose hands have weakened, for the small support I once sent has been swallowed by rising costs.

Even in the house of worship, my place has diminished. The pastor who once greeted me with honor now scarcely turns his gaze toward me, for my tithe no longer speaks loudly in his ears.

In my village, where I was once celebrated and given the title of Ogbuefi, there are whispers. I no longer visit as I once did, nor do I bring gifts of cattle. And so, the honor that was given in days of abundance now trembles in days of scarcity.

Thus I ask you my friends ,

Can a man truly live in comfort in these times, when his earnings rise, yet his needs unending ?

No my friends , no my friends

You are a great writer.

Your story is not far from many of us including myself. What has saved me is that I was able to make some strategic investments in my times of plenty. One of our family training businesses was one we used to charge N70,000 years back, and we would get $500 after conversion. Today even though we now charge more than four times that amount, we cannot get even $250 out of it per trainee.

A lot of our inputs are imported, so tell me, how do we manage it?

Good evening everyone.

Let’s have a real and honest discussion. With the current cost of living, things have changed a lot compared to a few years ago. Prices of food, transport, rent, and basic needs have all increased.

At the same time, many people are still earning around the same income or only slightly more. So it raises an important question:

How much does someone actually need monthly to live comfortably in Nigeria today?

Not luxury, just a decent and stable life.

Let’s break it down realistically:

Rent
Feeding
Transportation
Data and subscriptions
Family responsibilities
Savings (if possible)

For some people, ₦100k may not be enough.
For others, even ₦300k might still feel tight depending on lifestyle and location.

Everyone’s situation is different, but it would be interesting to hear real experiences.

So let’s be honest:

How much do you think someone needs monthly to live comfortably in Nigeria in 2026, and why?

Nobody can live on 100k a month in Nigeria. Impossible. That said, we have all made a lot of adjustments.

I have dusted up my old bicycle and now ride it around to nearby stations if I want to buy fuel, or nearby shops. I cannot be spending N20,000 a day fuelling my SUVs. Dangote is already too rich for me to be dashing him more money.

Was the last vote which had so many unanswered questions a credible one?

Netherlands has more bicycles than humans - fact.

They live a simple life

Especially Utrecht.

The soldier is a complete idiot. Was that necessary?

When you have people who are uncultured and have zero home training, this is what occurs.

He is talking nonsense. Dangote gets most of his crude from foreign sources.

Somebody sold those kids blanks as bullets. Blanks are cheaper than regular ammunition. They however make the same sound as regular bullets, making people run for cover. It means the guy only shattered their windscreen and no one got injured — except maybe the driver from glass penetrating his skin.

Chicken standing behind keyboard to type. Let us see you confront two armed robbers with your bare hands, disarm one of them and shoot the driver and then we can listen to you.

No big deal in saluting a senior officer.

Disu senior am for the work. Mba himself benefitted from accelerated promotions. What was his rank during endsars when he was the force spokesman?

This kind of comment is what wakes up the village people and the powers that be.

Really?

All enemies of Israel, God Himself promised He will blot them off the earth.

Who is leaking such classified signals?

Richtaiwo:
She didn’t quite sound fluent, though, it felt like she was mentally counting words like a student trying to stretch a five-minute presentation into ten. Even without understanding Itsekiri, you could tell it wasn’t flowing naturally. The tonal twists were so Yoruba-adjacent that if you weren’t paying attention, you might assume she was speaking Yoruba.

Still, what stood out was her composure, calm, educated, and refreshingly unbothered. The kind of grace that doesn’t scream, doesn’t rage, and certainly doesn’t join online stampedes with digital cutlasses. This is the type you can't find among the headless mobs in 10 millennia from today.

Blessings to Oluremi Tinubu, proof that calm elegance still exists in a world that often prefers noise over nuance.

She probably has not spoken it in a while. Initially you will struggle but it gets more fluent as you progress. I was born in a state outside mine and I caught the language of that region early, but did not get to speak it for more than 30 years as we moved in my early childhood. It took me about three months to get the flow again.

I think she tried.

saintopus:
This is a complete waste of resources, if a military man is sick does it need a separate kind of hospital?
A doctor is a doctor so long as you are well trained.

Have you heard of combat injuries? These are not injuries civilians are exposed to. How many hospitals in Nigeria are equiped to handle injuries from mines. IEDs. mortar rounds. high-calibre bullets from mounted HMGs, etc?

This kind of specialized medical training for the army medical corps is LONG OVERDUE.

Silentgroper:
But isn't that the duty of him as a pastor ..


As a pastor , you get all that money which you earn from occasional contributions of your congregations termed as offering and tithe but cannot give a common 230k.

Something he would earn back with just one service or one power packed delusional program..

Then this is the more reason he does not need to give anyone a dime. Let those people also go and do their "delusional" programs.

Silentgroper:
What's oyedepo profession??

Architect.

Anyone with parents should not be asking another person for school fees money. If you have to, start with family, then friends.

That said, the power of networking should not be ignored. Does this nurse belong to an activity group or a home cell fellowship? That is where such needs should have been channeled to first.

Why must Bishop use his money which is primarily meant for his family and close circle on a total stranger? If it is church money, it has to go through a process.

Lastly, if a person's faith in God is based on what he gets for free from a man of God, then that person's faith is FAKE!

Apini oṣa.....the man with sonorous voice....I love the man, I love all of them, the dead and the living.

I watched a film where he featured. He killed thay role. Babalawo wey dey give children but had none if his own. What an irony.

TY Danjuma the great


He really dealth with some people during the civil war

Those people that really dealth with them were all their fellow christian from yakubu gowon, to Olusegun Obasanjo to Awolowo to TY danjuma

Now the Fulani are dealing with them. Karma is a bitch.

Imagine people who are in bed with the globalists and their master talking like this.

My aunt who was barren adopted a boy in 2002

Fast forward to 2025 last June.
This boy turned my aunt life upside down

He Insults her like mad. Disrespect her in front of visitors. Scold at her

This got me thinking if Adoption is worth it
Because the boy clearly don't feel connection

And during some of their outburst
He will curse her and her family.. Omo

After seeing this same pattern in 3 families
I have concluded ADOPTION IS A NO NO!!!!

Is there a man in that house?
