The Nigerian political class is of the worst variety when it comes to their ability to deceive themselves and Nigerians. Tinubu @officialABAT appears to be very sick, as I stated when he travelled to France and could not return on time. I suspect this man may have suffered a… pic.twitter.com/AIJaRBw4KZ
is claiming 74, How? When i think of my almost 85 year Old Father still standing straight, playing His golf and tennis, I know that Tinubu's age claim is a bloody lie.
L1TTLE: Why does it feel so awkward when you ask a girl out and she says no, even if you don't resent her nothing is the same anymore.
Because you are in a hurry to ask her out. If possible, dont ask Her out, just take her out.. And if you must ask her, ask her out, only after you have taken her out, a couple of times.
Do you guys go home straight after closing from work or you simply hang around bars,pub or taverns to clear your heads before sneaking home when your family have gone to bed
I know some men go home straight after work rushing to meet and spend time with their families.
To the ones that evade going home after closing from work/businesses,I love to hear why you guys behave like that.
I can count the number of days i hang out after work hours. Even when i travel out of town for.work, it doesn't matter how nice the hotel, as soon as I am done, I just want to go back to my peaceful home. Thank God for my Wife. Thank God.I never dread going home.to.my.own family and home.
SIX YEARS AFTER LEKKI, THE APC STILL OWES NIGERIANS ANSWERS AND YOUNG PEOPLE A FUTURE.
Six years after the Lekki shooting, Nigeria is still waiting for a clear answer to one devastating question: Who gave the order? Let us also not forget that in October 2020, Bola Tinubu, rather than demonstrating the empathy and compassion the tragedy demanded, suggested that those who suffered casualties during the shooting had questions to answer. He asked: “How were they there? How long were they there? What kind of characters are they?” At a moment when Nigerians were demanding accountability for the violence against peaceful protesters, his response appeared more concerned with questioning the victims than demanding answers from those responsible.
The anger trending across the country today is not a social media performance. It is grief that has been left to harden into distrust. It is the pain of families still demanding answers, and of young people who watched their calls for dignity meet violence and then watched the country move on without the truth they deserve.
The APC has governed Nigeria through these six years. It cannot keep asking Nigerians to remember the dead while refusing to confront the unanswered questions. A government that cannot give citizens confidence that their lives matter has failed one of its most basic duties.
And the hardship young people face today deepens that betrayal. Petrol at ₦1,405 a litre means more than an expensive journey. It means less money for food, school, rent and work. It means a young person can do everything asked of them and still find the door to a decent life shut in their face.
The APC promised renewal. For too many Nigerians, the experience has been rising costs, shrinking opportunity and a future pushed further out of reach. No speech about growth can excuse empty pockets. No anniversary tribute can replace justice. No campaign slogan can erase six years of unanswered questions.
Just this morning, one of my aides told me about a young woman who was forced to resign from her job this month because her salary could no longer cover the cost of getting to work. Her words were as heartbreaking as they were revealing: “The pay no longer covers transport. Everything in Nigeria just dey increase in price. Feels like I'm working for Bolt guys.” Imagine that: a Nigerian who has secured employment, yet can no longer afford to remain employed. This is the cruel reality of an economy in which even those fortunate enough to have jobs are being priced out of earning a living. The policies of this government are stifling not only the unemployed but also hardworking Nigerians whose salaries have become increasingly worthless in the face of rising costs. This is precisely the hardship my Economic Recovery Plan is designed to address, with one overriding objective: to Make Nigeria Affordable Again. My policy response is built around relief people can feel: support tied to fuel refined in Nigeria, with the savings passed on to consumers; more local production to create jobs; protection for minimum wage earners and student support; and funding these measures by cutting waste instead of imposing new taxes.
Young Nigerians deserve the truth about Lekki. They deserve a government that protects life, and an economy that gives work a chance to lead somewhere. Six years on, the APC has had ample time to answer for its record. Nigerians are entitled to ask why the answers and the opportunities are still missing. #LekkiMassacre -AA
i2econsulting: I Just Discovered Something About UK Jobs That I Wish I Knew Earlier
I used to think getting a job in the UK was simply about finding a vacancy, sending your CV and waiting.
Apparently, there is much more to it.
Things like how you read the job description, whether your experience actually matches what they are asking for, the type of employer, right-to-work requirements, and even how you present your experience can make a big difference.
What surprised me most is that some people are applying to dozens of jobs without really checking whether they are suitable for the role.
For those currently applying for UK jobs, what has been your biggest challenge?
1. Finding genuine vacancies 2. Getting shortlisted 3. CV 4. Sponsorship/right to work 5. Understanding the application process 6. Something else
This advise is relevant to job seekers, even in Naija.
Newsmills: Your husband is a jealous god,he is afraid of what an average Nigerian woman can become in a lawful society in which fundamental rights can be jealously protected.Husbands are protected in Nigeria by our protracted laws,and there are ways to circumventing laws in Nigeria.
If He was afraid, would he let her go futher her studies in the first place? will He be asking for Divorce?
I dont mind my Wife achieving anything, but should i now because of that abandon my own investments and business in Naija to follow a Woman abroad to go and start over. You call Him jealous, just because He is a Man who knows what he wants and does not want in a marriage.

siyoung: Just wanted to ask a serious question to everyone here.
If someone takes retired/decommissioned public buses and completely transforms the inside into secure, clean rooms—offering a "Bus Airbnb/Hotel" that is way cheaper than OYO or standard guest houses...
WOULD YOU ACTUALLY SPEND YOUR MONEY AND SLEEP IN IT?
Please reply with your honest thoughts:
1. YES, I would use it. (If yes, please tell me WHY? Is it purely to save money, or do you like the unique vibe?) 2. NO, I wouldn't. (If no, what is your biggest reason? Is it security, heat/AC, toilets, or comfort?)
I'm genuinely curious if this kind of low-cost accommodation concept can actually work for travelers and moving people in Nigeria. Let's talk!
It would help if you help the respondent to think like a particular user in society then ask if they would be interested. If they were that user..
The average person would most likely not want to stay in an ultra low cost anything.
YouandiAllofus: If a project like this is being done in a country like China, your type will be the first to rush and praise sing the Chinese for their engineering prowess.
But in Nigeria, all you do is criticize and condemn without commendation.
You dont know me, so stop making hasty generalizations.
I will commend when i see a well thought out plan, with proper impact assessment, procurement and appropriation process.
We cant encourage any-howness just because we feel the person doing anyhow means well. That is not how China built their country.
I.am just baffled at all the people willing to defend project for which no impact asssessment was conducted, no open procurement was done and no proper appropriation was made, all in the name of politics. Who made us so foolish.
P.S. I avoid trying to convince people who are set in their ways, but i will not shirk my responsibility to present the facts:
The fact is Trump has a long public record of statements and conduct that many journalists, civil-rights groups, and African institutions have characterized as racist, including remarks demeaning African countries and Black immigrants.
The fact is there are documented records of his racist remarks towards Blacks and Africans, such as the following:
1. 1970s housing case: The U.S. Justice Department sued Trump and his father over alleged refusal to rent apartments to Black applicants; the matter settled, with the Trumps acknowledging failure to comply with the Fair Housing Act, though not explicitly admitting discrimination.
2. Central Park Five: In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads urging the death penalty for the Black and Latino teenagers accused in the Central Park jogger case; they were later exonerated.
3. Birtherism: Trump promoted the false claim that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, which many critics viewed as a racially charged attack on America’s first Black president. He also recently reposted a pic of the Obamas as apes.
4. Immigration remarks: Trump reportedly described Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during a 2018 immigration discussion, and reportedly contrasted immigration from Africa and Haiti unfavorably with immigration from Norway.
5. Nigeria/Haiti remarks: Reporting cites a 2017 claim that Nigerians would not want to return to “their huts” after seeing the United States, and that Haitian immigrants “all have AIDS.”
6. African Union response: After the “shithole countries” remark, the African Union condemned it, and African ambassadors at the UN demanded a retraction and apology.
7. Trump has repeatedly used demeaning language toward Black women journalists, including April Ryan, Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor, and Rachel Scott- read up on these yourself.
Finally, Love Trump all you want (thats your business) and argue from now till whenever, IT WILL NOT change the fact that Trump has been shown to not like your "type"
LordLicifer: I have never met the man personally so how would i know he hates me? This is just what many people like you have been made to believe. Did you know that Trump companies employs thousands of black people?
What part of He hates your type dont you understand? He doesnt need to know you personally to hate you. If he generally hates your type.
bentenny: I guess some folks can't stop thinking of Trump.
You can't make a statement on the world scene without mentioning him.😆😆
In case you don't know, Trump, unlike anyone else in History, has been publicly lobbying (almost begging) for the prize. That's why She mentioned Him. Everything is not about hate or mocking.
As a scientist my greatest weapon is my power of Assumption.
All great discoveries have their root from Assumptions (known as hunches in the science world)
That's by the way. Concerning the man's daughters. if you have the power of discernment you'd notice a pattern. Let us flip the table. Say it was their mum who murdered their dad, would their letter contain the same damning information? By that letter they condemned their father before the judges did.
It's a pattern. Just do your findings in other similar cases.
Thanks for your reasonable response.
I do not.dismiss the value of assumptions, just sounding the caution that we dont depend them solely, in drawing conclusions.
On the other matter of the "pattern" i am not as informed on the issues. Thus i will go and do my own findings, rather than argue blindly.
