This is so disappointing that the sectors that experienced growth are not the sectors that employ the largest labor in the country.

What's the % growth in:
1. Manufacturing
2. SMEs
3. Agriculture
4. Healthcare
5. IT

Among others.

FIs, oil & gas, telecos, will always continue to grow if the real economy is not growing. Don't allow this report bamboos us. At least we can see where the real growth came from.

Crimecity:
As part of measures to effectively combat crime & criminality in Rivers State, I presented 100 vehicles to @PoliceNG, @RiversPoliceNG. It is in advancing our commitment to ensuring swift response to security emergencies & the protection of lives & properties in our dear State.

See how we are celebrating mediocrity. Most vehicles are Nigerian used cars repainted in police color, will be abandoned after few weeks due to developing faults... SMH in sadness

Seychelles boasts the highest estimated minimum gross monthly wage, standing at $465.4.

In Africa, minimum wage rates are among the lowest globally, and this ing that many of its countries are still developing. However, it's worth noting that even on the continent, there are variations, and workers in some countries have a better shot at earning higher wages compared to others.

According to a Wisevoter report, Seychelles boasts the highest estimated minimum gross monthly wage, standing at $465.4. Following closely are Libya and Morocco in the rankings.

so what's the other cost in the price of petrol that makes the price slyrockets?

I thought the fx is the reason for the spikes and subsidy intervention.

There's definitely another big scam somewhere else

fear that you might be related to one of them. Cos these pictures were taken by one of them.

Their doom is near anyways........

Do it first.

Use them do shakara later.

Nigerian employers just find a way to give watery offers to big title jobs.

What is 50,000? Is it for kabukabu?

Hmmm....

No wonder why the Australians had that 2nd goal at 90+10 mins.

Sarcasm. Just wait and see

Well done bro.

A man diligent in his work will definitely stand before Kings and not mean men.

God have mercy. See the number of youths dealing in cyber crime and dispossessing hardworking people around the world of their decent income.


This is worrisome

From time immemorial, OOU has the best law faculty in Nigeria and had always produced the best law professionals.

No surprises on this feat.

Do you know that the 3rd Mainland bridge as Ibrahim Babaginda Bridge? I can't recall if anyone called the bridge that name. With time, this will apply to the second Niger bridge.

Finally.

Alex Otti (Labour Party) - 175,467 Votes

Okey Ahiwe (PDP) - 88,529 votes

Labour Party won the election with 86,938 votes .

I am happy for him. The first time I met him in person 5 or 6 years ago. He was so kind hearted, jovial and related with me well despite just being a visitor in his office premises. He is so relatable and I believe he can do well in Abia state.

AcuraZDX:
Sanwo Olu visited MFM Power Must Change Hands Programs looking so sad and melancholic 😂😂😂😂!

Jide never cared to Campaign all these while, but the LP and Obidient movement has really rattled him and his supporters.

People are really laughing at him on Twitter because he and his fellow APC Supporters mocked Peter Obi when he was visiting some of these big churches in Lagos.

he's always been a member of MFM. So this picture depicts nothing to me

naijapips04:
Started which business? That gave him money to buy majority shares in a bank? He should mention the business and his annual gross revenue from the business.

Me Obi started departmental stores as an undergraduate one by one... He was already a millionaire even before he graduated.

He still runs a lot of supermarkets across the country such as NEXT Cash and Carry among others.

So save your time and focus on improving yourself and fighting for a better country

Norah199:
I don’t understand people at all.. Did you read the narration at all before coming to conclusions? Smh try to get sense pls

I can see the kind of person you truly are. Your response looks abusive and so immature.

Anyway, see the paragraph you wrote:

*For the record, I’m an only child of my mother, my dad is late and she’s yet to marry again. I do everything for her like her rent, monthly upkeep, and also got her a good car. Initially I thought she was doing all these because she felt she hasn’t enjoyed me yet and another woman is coming into the picture which is normal for most parents. So I did everything I could to make her comfortable before my wedding*

I wasn't the one who typed this. Everything is not about money and material things. You have forgotten that there's an emotional side to family. If money and material things are all what our parents need from us, then we don't need to care about them.

You lack good communication and it's reflective even in your response to me and few other people.

I am in the same show as yours. My wife is Igbo. My mom stood against being married to her for a long time. Thank goodness we are married today. I call my mom once a week but my wife and Mom talk like besties at least 3 times a week. Their call could last up to 30/45mins.

Our mothers needs love, and emotional connection. All those materials things you are bragging that you did for her can't be compared to that connection your own mother needs. She's alone, single and needs more of her family which is you arend and your wife. It's you that can make amends.

Listen to other people's advice who had emphasized the importance of communication. She will still understand you and make peace if you give her little or nothing.

* Note: I am not exonerating your mom's action as well. I only feel you can handle it better by adding quality time.

Norah199:
Good morning guys. I need some matured minds and married men and women in the house to look into this matter and give me an ideal way to go about this. Would be a long read pls bear with me.

So late late 2021, I got married to my long time girlfriend. Before the marriage, my mom had a little reservation about the girl and her family for some odd reasons due to her tribe. She’s Igbo. Everything was funny because the first day I introduced my wife to my mom. She liked her and everything was cool. They where going on well until my mom started telling me she’s having some dreams about the girl and her family. She’s white garment member. I think her dislike started growing when she told my wife about her church and she said she can’t go to her church for any reason. I was a former member of the church when I was a teenager but with time as I grew I stopped going to the church not because it’s a bad church or something wrong with it. I just don’t fancy going there and also not a church type of person. My mom believe it was the girl that made me stopped going to the church which was funny. She has said that several times.

For the record, I’m an only child of my mother, my dad is late and she’s yet to marry again. I do everything for her like her rent, monthly upkeep, and also got her a good car. Initially I thought she was doing all these because she felt she hasn’t enjoyed me yet and another woman is coming into the picture which is normal for most parents. So I did everything I could to make her comfortable before my wedding.

We did the wedding and everything went on smoothly aprt from some normal family disputes and all but the wedding was successful. Deep down I know my mom still doesn’t like my girl because of her statement s most times but I don’t always give her that room so she’s always quiet and rather not talk what’s on her mind.
Later on, my mom started complaining of the money I give to her. She seems not to be ok with it. Trust me guys. I do more than enough for my mom. I just tried my best to handle everything well and sometimes allow her have her ways with her demands so she doesn’t see my wife as a stumbling block to her.

To cut the long story short, my wife took in and was due for delivery and her mother came like a month before the delivery. Actually my wife had a false labour that made us rush to the hospital and doctor said she has very high maleria and was in serious labor. I called the mother immediately and she started coming the next morning because she lives in the East. The doctor gave her some injections and drugs for the maleria and the labor stopped. Doctor told us it wasn’t the right time for the baby to come out because it was 8 months.
The next morning when she was strong, we went back home with the mother that was already in town.

The mother decided to stay till the delivery instead of going back and coming again when she delivers which I supported.
Two weeks the doctor gave us turned to 1 month and labor didn’t still come. All these while I never knew my mom was so bitter that my mother inlaw was in my house for that long. She once asked me why the woman didn’t go and come back. It was that bad. To make matters worse, I lost my child after a CS was done on my wife. It appeared the baby was in distress which the doctors failed to notice and came out with birth asphyxia. After about two weeks, she died. I opened a thread on that.

Problem started after I buried my child. Everyone was in sorrow and so much pains especially my wife. A day after the burial my mother called my mother inlaw and asked her why she hasn’t gone yet. Started accusing the woman of killing the child and all manners of things. How she had turned her husband to vegetable and now she wants to teach her daughter how to turn her son into vegetable too. It was really bad. They both insulted each other and quarreled seriously on the phone just a day after the lost of my child. She also called my wife and told her “shebi she doesn’t want children” my wife was quiet and didn’t utter a word.

I was in so much pain and so pissed at my mom for everything she did and didn’t even speak to her for like a month even though I still sent her upkeep money. I reported her to her uncle and a few respected people. I don’t know if they talked to her but nothing was done. No body called for any meeting even her own pastor that I reported to. Instead he told me it’s woman talk. That they both insulted each other and the rest..

After that incident till date. My wife, mother, and mother inlaw haven’t spoken to each other even though I have had more peace since then but the fact still remains my mom and wife are not in good terms. I have long forgiven and moved on with my mom even though that closeness is not there but I don’t fail to send her money for upkeep every month. My wife is cool with it and said she doesn’t want that closeness with my mom even though she has forgiven her too.

My mom and I talks once in a while and never for once has she asked about my wife since that incident and my wife hasn’t called either which I don’t blame her. The last time I visited my mom. She said some ill things about my wife and her family and even told me my wife is not my rightful wife and some other things. I usually don’t listen to her talks because I know how religion has turned so many people into something else.

The question right now guys. What do I do in this situation. The truth is nothing can change my moms mind about my wife and her family. But still as a husband, I still feel somehow knowing my wife and mom are not in good terms. My mother inlaw the last time told me she wants to make peace with my mom that they can’t keep fighting forever especially because of her daughter. But deep down I know the thought my mom have about them. So I just told her it’s not the right time and with time everything will be fine. I can’t force my wife to call my mom because she didn’t do no wrong. At the same time my mom won’t even listen to me for any peace making. There are more things to say but I will end here. Sorry for the long write up.
Your opinions would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you 🙏

This is deep.

I deduced from your story that:
1. You are the only Son/child
2. it seems your father is late
3. You married a woman she had reservations about. (Although that's normal).
4. Your mother stays very far away from you.
Yet, you seldomly call her
5. Your mother-in-law is living with you without any plan to leave.
6. You only send money to her, no family bonding in your story.
7. You didn't encourage your wife to call her often.

Why won't she give you problem? It's up to you to make the amends.

Call her as often as possible
Make her feel loved
Always request for her prayers.
Remember that, Mother-in-laws and our wives should be best of gist mates. They would always think and act good for us
By this, she will give you your desired peace and not all those negative vibes

My sincere condolences to the family.

December 25 every year will be an unforgettable date in that family. Rather than celebrating Christmas, it will be Bolanle's remembrance.

It's only God that can comfort that home.

So sad

All of you decided to resign from your gainful employment here, leaving your jobs to inexperienced colleagues, in order to pursue Oversea education. Most of these banks/organizations are struggling with high staff turnover. Now you are complaining badly. It is well with us
