Software engineering is the bedrock of AI and robotics.

Thus,AI cannot advance without software engineers

No matter how hard it was when we broke up
Sometimes I'll still want to hear their voice
I can't imagine myself turning down a call from someone I once loved

Men should stop accepting that nonsense....women also should have money and take care of themselves.....women should not depend on men financially in this day and age ...gone are those days... women now go to school run businesses , get employed ...are no longer discriminated.... they earn same as men do...so why should a man provide for a fellow adult.... why do these women gip to school then?? Same expectations placed on men should also be placed on women cos they also work , just like men...

a woman can be making 10 million a month but will still want a provider as a husband when it's time to marry.

That a woman is educated and makes her own money does not exclude a man from making his money and still taking care of her.

As a man, you can't run from making money is what I advocate for. If she's broke, you spend, if she's rich, you still spend. What is man without paying bills?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making a case for gold diggers and opportunists but you must understand me (A man like you) that a woman's greatest joy is to eat your money as a man and your greatest source of respect is being a provider.

That woman can only support you in a short while when the chips are down for you, I repeat a short moment of lack for you, but anything besides that, na see finish you dey beg for.

The few men who understand this truth never get surprised when a woman who has been feeding the family for three months starts misbehaving.

cr7lomo:
Our women are just as bad....if our government supported women and favoured women like usa government do ...that's when u will understand that Nigerian women are deadly.... they will start to drug men to rape them just to get pregnant and claim child support

Racoon:
Who is surprised? This is from a government that has long legalized lies and propaganda as official policies of governance?

Why not first inform the CMDs or CMACs of the new development first to ensure a smooth implementation in their localities? Why the haste to create confusion? Those who live by lies and propaganda will die by same.

Why buy a cow when you can get the milk for free?

nothing, I repeat nothing is ever free in life.
Where you run from commitment in marriage, you definitely give it out in messing around. You're still committed to that.

You run from focus and responsibility in marriage, you lose focus and become irresponsible outside marriage.

Where you run from health from having just one partner in marriage, you pay for it dearly outside marriage by treating a barrage of infections and diseases.

Where you run from being a responsible father who will train his kids with his wife under the same roof, you pay dearly for it when you have other kids with baby mamas by either making the kids to be trained by her alone, or her and another man, or you train the kids alone and make them not experience the joys of father and mother togetherness. Those kids will later blame you for it.

I can go on and on.

But nothing is ever free. You only chose how you pay. Cash or transfer.

Melagros:
COMRADES, well, I may agree with Chike, because when I hinted my GM (a white man man) that I wanted to get married and he asked me...do you want to lose your freedom?

Hhh4444:

Wow!!! FTC for the first time ever! This is dedicated to all real hustlers out there! May all you touch turn to GOLD!

This Abuja–Lokoja shutdown is a textbook example of how systemic extortion by security agencies can quickly snowball into a national logistics crisis.

1. Economic choke point – The Abuja–Lokoja road isn’t just a busy highway; it’s a strategic artery linking the FCT to key southern and north-central states. Blocking it means halting fuel, goods, and passenger movement across a large swath of the country. Every hour of this gridlock translates into direct economic loss — fuel wastage, perishable goods spoiling, and delays in supply chains.

2. Security–economy paradox – The same security presence that’s supposed to ensure safety has become the very reason for the protest. When checkpoints turn into toll booths, it erodes public trust and pushes law-abiding operators into confrontation with the state. Worse, if drivers start avoiding certain routes, it could embolden criminal actors like kidnappers who exploit the reduced security coverage.

3. Public safety risk – With night approaching and traffic still immobilized, travellers are exposed to higher risks of roadside robbery or abduction. The Abuja–Lokoja axis is already notorious for such incidents, meaning this standoff isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous.

4. Policy gap – Extortion at checkpoints is an old, well-documented problem, yet enforcement measures to stop it are either weak or nonexistent. Unless there’s a systemic cleanup of highway policing, incidents like this will keep recurring, with lasting economic and reputational costs for the country.

Bottom line: The tanker drivers’ protest is a symptom, not the disease. Unless government tackles the root cause — illegal levies and abuse of authority on highways — we’ll keep seeing this same cycle of blockage, economic loss, and public insecurity.

This Abuja–Lokoja wahala na like when gatekeeper wey suppose guard compound turn to landlord wey dey collect rent from everybody.

Tanker drivers don vex say every checkpoint na ₦5k “pass ticket,” sometimes up to six before Lokoja — na who wan dey dash police ₦30k per trip?

Dem just park tanker block road, turn express to car park.

Now passengers don dey sweat under sun, fear night come because kidnappers no dey do “sleep early.”

If government no stop this checkpoint chop-chop, na so we go dey repeat this same traffic film every year.
