Dem recently increase my rent from 650k to 800k, and it's Ogba, and traffic is light. But the 4 bedroom above me, that they let out last year, was for 1.5m per year. I know anything that sends me house hunting now would see me spending around that 1.1 to 1.3, and still within Ogba.

Lmao... I wonder how this 600k will be now😂

It's funny how in that same Jurassic world cartoon a boy and girl also kissed yet no one is talking about that. Just shows people don't actual care about showing sexual stuffs to kids, it's just fake outrage. Rather than campaigning for all sexual related stuff banned from kids show people are using it to run a useless agenda.

The complaint wasn't about this.

It's irresponsible of Netflix to expose impressionable kids to what's generally considered a taboo.

Could Fidelity bank by chance be the most useless bank in Nigeria?

They are not lacking in courage, All armed forces and law enforcement, you must always wait for orders. If they dont receive the orders and you engage. even if you save peoples lives, Na discipline you dey face and later turn to you offed innocent bandits without orders

You are already risking your life to engage bandeets, only for your superiors to throw you under the bus

You dont need to be Einstein to see that these activities get the backing of some people whether military brass, politicians or local chiefs

True sha...the matter long be dat.

Ellexy:
It's almost as if the armed forces are joint participants in this epidemic of insecurity. Everytime, it's the poor villagers that are disarmed by the military of the little weapons they're using to protect and defend themselves, while the terrorists are being pampered and giving chieftancy titles.

Thing is on a norms, citizens are not supposed to bear arms, and for people bearing arms for protection and not to cause mayhem, it's not out of place to surrender weapons to avoid more gbege.

Nigeria is under-policed and our officers are lacking in morale...seriosu investment has to be made in that direction, and state policing adopted to increase breadth.

Do you wind down while driving in Lagos ? Omo , I my window is always rolled up and I always central lock either in traffic or in motion .

I don’t give room for anybody to come close to the car and be taking to me about anything .

When I am in public bus I also don’t give attention to any beggar or tout that comes near the window o. It’s because of such experiences like urs above I dey always avoid engagement when I’m in public

Windows were rolled up, but no tint, and I had PC and other stuffs on the passenger side (mistake).

The guy in question came real close to the windows, our face for almost dey touch sef if no be the windows, wound down slightly to pass him the 2K.

Normally I dey return greetings and keep it moving, I would adopt the zero engagement policy going forward, be like na dawan pay pass.

police and military personnels are seriously lacking in courage.

That VDM video where he and his convoy were running towards victims of highway kidnapping was a clear pointer to this, like they literally passed police personnels that were fully armed yet stood doing nothing, by the time VDM retruned to pick up a gun shot victim, the police officers he passed along the way had driven the other way, away from the scene of the kidnap.

The stories under this thread are chilling.

Had an experience like two weeks ago where someone came to me in traffic and was begging/part threatening me for money, saying he was just coming from prison and he begs so he doesn't rob, and intermittently he took his hands towards the back of his pocket like he was reaching for a weapon...kuku gave him like 2K cash that was with me, he saw I had more, asked for more and I told him to ask the other guys in the traffic, say me sef don try.

Man was quite hefty and had those manual labour sort of body definition, was probably all begging, but he made clear demands. Na God dey help person for this Naija...someone on Twitter said they saw two dead bodies around Otedola bridge, victims of armed robbery.

I have a keen interest in following in-depth survivor stories from major disasters especially Titanic and 9/11

I suspect there will be a few more deaths from smoke inhalation in that building from the video I saw of them crowding around the windows, and expect more stories like these over the coming days and weeks

The amount of unavoidable deaths that occur in this country is just crazy, people are basically one health or situational emergency away from losing their lives.

[color=royalblue]I don't even see the sense in trying to force a club to sell you.

You signed a contract. Finish it and move on. No club is obligated to sell you because you have suitors. If they don't want to, play out your contract and leave honorably.[/color]

Sometimes this strong head works in the favor of the players, and sometimes it doesn't, most clubs would rather cash in on a player that's made it abundantly clear they want out...just don't understand these Italian clubs and their weird ego trip that sees them have players depreciate on their books.

Lookman would leave either January or June 2026, and Atalanta would end up making less than they'd have made if they allowed him leave last transfer window.

Roland17:
When asked about the player, the Croatian said: “Lookman won’t be with us. It’s a truly unpleasant situation. After a meeting with him, I feel we need other things – spirit, fight, humility, work, guys who have to feel the shirt well. Our guys have to do that. I don’t want anything else.”

Speaking further, Juric clarified: “I want a different human level, a different sense of belonging. I have a good relationship with him, but I don’t have to ask him. Damn, we’re Atalanta, I don’t have to beg him. He needs strong, human values.”

https://sports.yahoo.com/article/atalanta-manager-ivan-juric-ademola-125100264.html


I am unsure who is advising Lookman but he needs to move on from what happened in the summer. If anything it should serve as motivation for him to work harder.

He needs game time to even convince clubs in January to push harder for him. He looked rusty against SA and may be in worse shape if he doesn’t reintegrate into Atalanta before January.

My position doesn’t mean I am indifferent to his plight but it is time to move on. Those are strong comments from his coach and while I don’t think everything is true, it is what the world now sees.

January can't come fast enough for Lookman, this club just spoil what was supposed to be his truly big professional contract. Football can be brutal.

Wait, did the pot fail?

It did, when they were trying to weigh it.

Plenty of memes

Theflint1 gets to cuss out naija again

Confam wife material

When mass comm students fabricate cooking pot. Seems they should have braced it

She really could be serving fire JPEGs solely and she'd be alright, but I guess chasing these funny awards have become her thing. Up next would probably be WR for biggest pot of beans.

swiz123:
Someone else must be feeding the guy working for 2k per day when wheel barrows never finish for market. What even happened to learning a skill sef.

The dude obviously has no ambition.

So you mean he can't cook meals for #250 and put the balance in savings?

The traffic on the Island is mad, today is friday normal day for traffic and this one is catching cruise again
Omo i am angryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Dapper is spending Shallipoppi and Seyi Vibez royalties on dat azz so she's covered

She no get wahala be dat

I wonder whether the Chinese are concerning themseles with cooking the biggest pot of jollof rice

Instead make Hilda Baci respect herself face her cooking hustle in a respectable fashion, she's still chasing these mickey mouse awards, I'm sure she'd cry another tears of joy after this accomplishment

The reason people have access to guns is because Guns are common whether legal or illegal guns

One of the reasons guns are legal is because there is no feasible way to control illegal guns(similar to how illegal drugs have not been controlled). Stopping legal ownership of guns just gives the criminals a free reign

Would guns be as common if they were made illegal/controlled?

It's more difficult controlling drugs because they're a lot easier to conceal and peddle, guns less so. If America enacts gun control, and means to control the flow of guns into the country, they can and that's why people fight against gun control, because it's one of those things that can be controlled (to a large extent) when a country means to.

raumdeuter:
Most of the shooters look for soft targets. When they know they might get harmed they avoid. Like yesterdays assassin shot from 200m away

Or pick soft targets where people are unarmed like elementary schools, malls or churches or Benue villages

The solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun

And there'd always be soft targets.

raumdeuter:
How would you stop access to guns for criminals? Criminals won't lack guns if they want

So the reason why the US has a disproportionately high number of gun-related violence vs their other first world countries is because its people are more inclined to crime, and not because of the ease with which the criminals in the US have access to guns?

raumdeuter:
How many first world countries d you know that border with a cartel run country and denying the citizens the ability to own guns to defend themselves is just giving the armed criminals a free ride like it is in Nigeria where criminals will pre-announce and come for you

The average American insists on bearing arms because they see the constitution provides for that, and it's essentially become a way of life, and not becuase of Mexicans.

raumdeuter:
You think Nigeria that you cannot buy guns do not have these on the street every week

The killers of Dr Chike Akunyili where are they today? You can almost bet that in the next 1 month another hundreds in Nigeria where you cant get guns will be attacked while they lay waiting and reading Psalms

America is the only first world country where people lose their lives to gun-related violence at the scale it does.

Ibime:
That stuff is unsurvivable. Apart from the volume of blood, he immediately went into fencing response which likely means his spinal chord was damaged instantly

That was a lot of blood...America is the only first world country that has this many gun-related deaths in what's supposed to be peace time.

TemporaryHansel:
That 4700 na is for normal walking oh. Do you think I'll be able to do 4700 steps on treadmill? I no dey touch that stuff even for gym back then. Just lift weights, and squat.

I believe whatever benefit you can gain from treadmill can be gained from squatting, except for extreme weight loss sha. If I lose too much weight, people might start spreading rumors that sapa is on my neck or something is wrong with me, you know how Nigerians are.

iamoyindamola:
Yes he's not the Alpha and Omega but we were doing well all round performance was good too

We sacked Rohr since 2021, best case scenario was he handled the playoff against Ghana for 2022 World Cup and he got sacked after the World Cup (assuming he qualified). He had done one World cup prior and got disgraced, and did a Nations Cup with a bronze medal, playing horrid football.

The man did his bit, we can't be crying Rohr 4 years after his sack...he wasn't that special.

iamoyindamola:
Abeg why was rohr sacked
E kon be llikewise took 20 years step backward
I watched Benin and marvel at how they played, we are struggling
Normally our players don't need coach to break down teams considering our qualities and exposure

Rohr is not the Alpha and Omega of Super Eagles, coaches better than Rohr have been sacked, his time passed and he got sacked...didn't help that the football he played was atrocious.

The succession plan was a mess, and that's why we're here today, and not because we sacked Gernot Rohr. Super Eagles was the longest stint in Rohr's managerial career, everywhere else he was promptly fired, of all coaches to get stuck on his nuts, it shouldn't be Rohr.
