Absolutely, it does. I remember when I first caught its smell at the young age of a teenager. My grandmother was having a fight with breast cancer back then. The smell has quite an unusual and distinct one.

Several years later, a friend of mine smelled similar to that one. I even thought about mentioning it to her. In case if I would be right, then I can possibly save her life. But in case if I will make a mistake, it can cost her unnecessary worry and expense. I told her what I smelt out there. And, guess what? She had cancer. During all these years of my experience, I keep meeting that smell. The problem arises when those unknown persons smell it.

Well, I know nothing about them, and they know nothing about me. I run into them in shops or cafes, smell it, and ask them to stop. Some of them listen to me, others just ignore. In case when some of those are listening to me, I was always right about 100%. As for ignoring cases, I’ve done my job and leave quietly.

If you know anyone living with cancer, try to be observant and take your time to notice the smell.

You may have a rare skill maybe because of some unusual makeup in your noise and brain sensory functions.
You maybe if use to medicine in the country.
There are dogs that have this kind of smell ability too

You see, everybody knows what they are doing, the issue is that we have many religious and educational backgrounds that our understanding of immoral, retrogressive ideas and wrong things are different.
What I want to say is that Tinubus style of government has laid down and entrench bad and immoral democracy. Our society will take some times before it gets healed again

Let’s we must learn not to turn blind eyes to things that have to do with the matter of our salvation as Christians.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God" - 1 John 4:1. Let’s test every spirit then.
Contrary to what Pastor Enoch Adeboye prophesied, those Oyo kidnapped victims weren’t rescued in a "dramatic" way. They appear to have been released.
So which spirit spoke to daddy?
We should never make excuses for God, because in truth, God can never lie. - Titus 1:2, Numbers 23:19

Abia ranks last in VAT generation among the 36 states + FCT? Meanwhile, war-ravaged Borno generates more VAT than Anambra and Enugu combined and even surpasses the combined total of Imo, Enugu and Abia.

Some figures have a way of exposing narratives more effectively than arguments ever could. I'll leave it there, because the moment I dissect these VAT numbers, one overzealous mod will ban me and it will appear as if it is bot.

This again shows that our universities have produced too many ignoramus and people Ill equipped for the modern world.
VAT doesn’t measure the commercial activities abd viability of a place, what measures that his consumers tax.
What stats like this shows if they do anything, is how the southeast hasn’t been fairly and properly invested in by the federal government. It shows there are not standard big companies there that remits tax to the federal government.
What it doesn’t show though are the small industries, SMEs, and private companies. It doesn’t also show the millions of services that are being rendered in this region or the money in circulation.
VAT tax is thus different from consumption tax

We had a Christian-Christian ticket in 1979. Guess what, it was the Ibos that voted against that ticket.

This should only tell you if you are honest that Igbos mostly do not play tribal politics. The Philip Umeadi was an igbo man.
Igbos prioritized a ticket that promoted national unity. Igbos more than any other ethnicity have over the years invested in the unity of Nigeria

Good morning everyone please I need help, anytime I'm eating within minutes of eating I will vomit it, sometimes while eating hiccup will start and next will be vomiting, if I drink water before eating or drink water while eating I will also vomit please note this vomit rush out with full pressure from my mouth.

This thing have been happening over 2 years now the pharmacist friend of mine said it's WARM I took warm medicine the thing stopped for like 2 weeks then it started again.
Because of this I've stopped eating outside if I go work and because I leave house to work early I only eat once a day which is anytime I come back at night even at that I'll vomit while eating. Another thing to note is after vomiting I can then eat the food and drink water nothing will happen again.


Please doctors in the house don't mind my English I need help I want to visit hospital today who know what might be the cause of this ?



I have stopped alcohol since over 2 years this thing started.

I don't smoke oh

Because of this I've slimmed down I'm getting scared.

I've done done, series of taste and they said I'm ok. But I've not gone to hospital though.

Spend your money the way you like, it seems as if you are jobless to be worried that somebody is dashing people money. Don't you dash people money? There is nothing wrong in dashing anyone any amount of money

You get mental issues oh. The point isn’t that she dashed people money, the point is that she showed disconnection to the reality of the country by suggesting 50k can set up Akara business.
What it means in simple terms “olodo uprising” person, is that our First Lady doesn’t understand our local market dynamism. So how can people that do not understand what common man faces help the common man?

She only suggested what is common among women folk who are Yoruba. I still can't see how it is wrong

Now, according to you she only say things that are common among Yoruba. So, 50k will make Akara business among yorubas today?
I will leave you jo

lawani:
When you have a business plan and you have determined the amount to be invested. Do you expect that all the money should come from someone outside yourself?

Did the first lady say she is giving them exactly what they need to set themselves up?

She said she gave them grants in other words dash money. So there is nothing wrong in what she did since it is her money and neither giver nor beneficiary is complaining

You still miss the point. The people didn’t ask her to suggest businesses for them, it’s her that imagined what the 50k can do.. an that where the concern is; that’s our First Lady that exhibited serious disconnection with reality on ground.
She may have helped somebody set up that kind of business ten years ago with that amount and that’s probably awhat has stuck in her head.
This people live in a cocoon. And if somebody do not know what the problem is or even the scale, how can he/she proffer the solution

naptu2:
thinkmoney someone has already responded to you.




That amount was not just decided on a whim. It followed research by organisations like Bank of Industry.

Read this thread.

Oluremi Tinubu And Akara: Details Of The Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI)
https://www.nairaland.com/8699909/oluremi-tinubu-akara-details-renewed

And yes, some people are not arguing about the amount, they are arguing that it is bad.

You GUYS SHOULD STOP DEFENDING RUBBISH. We saw that video, we aren’t dumb. What she was doing is just picking any small business that comes to her mind, those are the ones she could think off that time.
No research went into anything. How many banks give loans for someone to set up that kind of small scale Akara.
She was just talking based on her knowledge and you can also see the reaction of people arounf her.
Instead of us to join hands and criticize people that do not understand us or our situation you are just doing mental gymnastics and inventing defenses

And it hasn't been stolen since the 1970s?? I made this post yesterday.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME MAKE YOU LAUGH VERY WELL.

I grew up in South-West Ikoyi in the 1970s, '80s and early 1990s. What is South-West Ikoyi known for?

Barracks!

You had Falomo Police Barracks on Bourdillon Road, you had Giwa Barracks on Kingsway Road, you had Prison Barracks on Awolowo Road and Ribadu Road, you had Police Mounted Troop Barracks on Ribadu Road, you had Police Dog Section Barracks on Keffi Street, you had Mopol 2 and Dodan Barracks also on Keffi Street and you had Women's Police Barracks and Obalende Police Barracks both on St Gregory's College Road.

What is the significance of these barracks?


Almost all the wives of the personnel that lived in these barracks sold akara, dodo and yam.

Furthermore, I have told you many times about the road that does not sleep. There is a road that cuts through Obalende and that road is the headquarters of street food in Lagos. It has been that way for generations.

That road is the headquarters of suya, akara, dodo and yam in Lagos. You can buy akara, dodo and yam at 3pm in the afternoon on that street and you can buy suya, akara, dodo and yam at 3am on that street.

I was addicted to akara, dodo and yam in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. It was my tea-time food. My mum often reminded me of a night when I insisted that I must eat akara, dodo and yam, but something happened and there was none around and they sent people all over to look for it and by the time they found it (far away on Greg's Road) and brought it back, I had slept off.

I knew virtually all the women that sold akara, dodo and yam across South-West Ikoyi, from the ones at Falomo Roundabout, to the ones on Awolowo Road (outside Prison), to the ones on Keffi Street, the ones on the road that never sleeps and in fact, I have gone as far as Ijeh Barracks in search of akara, dodo and yam.

Then some people on Nairaland are trying to tell me that cooking gas is a requirement for selling akara, dodo and yam.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT NONSENSE?

What's needed to sell akara, dodo and yam are:

A bowl

A large frying pan

A tray

Firewood

Kerosene

(The bowl is for the ground beans mixture).

Why hasn't this woman's moi moi been stolen?

She built a house, bought a car and sent her children to university from the proceeds of her moi moi business which she started with 500 naira.

Through my moin-moin business here in Ilorin, I have been able to build a house, buy a car, pay my employees, and sponsor all my children through university. — Iya Ibeji Oni Moinmoin, speaking during an interview with BBC Yoruba. pic.twitter.com/ViYsJb8zFO

Hello, the point people that understand things have been making isn’t that Akara, Kuli Kuli or agbado aren’t an honorable or viable business, in fact, they are very much food like every other food and food business is a leading business. The point they have been making, is that 50k can’t successfully set up the business from scratch.
If you give 30 people that 50k in this economy, by the time they leave that centre and get home, it would have reduced to 47k. In ten years time, it will be hard to see 2 people tell you they successfully set up an Akara business with that amount. Frying pan alone is within the range of 20k to 30k.
The statement from the First Lady shows two disturbing facts;
- they are disconnected with the reality of the common Nigerians. It’s obvious they do not even knows how their government have made things bad.
- the government she represents is wasteful. What she has in effect done Waugh those funds is that she has given people “dash” money. By now pay of them won’t have a kobo of that money left.
The smart thing a smart government Wally’s have done and that would make more economic sense, is to instead of giving for example, 30 people that 50k, she should make tough economy decision and reduce the beneficiary number to ten and give each 150k. The chance of this amount doing something successful has greatly increased.
To use an analogy: if you have 1k to be giving 20 people for feeding daily, that means each will get 50naira. In 3months, the 20 people will all be dead because there is no food you can buy with 50naira. But you can make a tough decision and reduce the number to 2 people. Those two people can continue surviving indefinitely if things stay the same on 500naira each daily.

Total and complete nonsense.

Every one of us have seen it before. Even those who have not seen it face to face have seen it before.

Politicians go there to eat every election season, in order to identify with the people and the photos and videos are everywhere. Everybody knows this.

That's why I don't take the people that talk about gas cylinder and paid place and bag of beans seriously. They are not serious people so they shouldn't be taken seriously.

Just like the people that talk about government money. Those ones will entertain me tomorrow.

Look below, do you see any gas cylinder or paid place or bag of beans? These people are just entertainers and their only purpose is to entertain me.

My brother, will the oil, utensils and frying pan be stolen?

How about funding? That’s the most important part. The funding and salary must be automatic and they must get it even before the governor and the state house get theirs. This ensures the governor can’t use it to blackmail or coerce

Shame on you bro. You remember me?
I just left you because I concluded you are lost and bent on disgracing our God. Years ago I consistently called out your skewed bible knowledge. You see how this counterfeit Israel is now disgracing you?

God is all wise and righteous. He is always vindicated, the problem is that a lot of you do not understand the Bible and sadly you are egoistic.

This Israel is not the Israel of God; “ I will a those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars” Revelation 3:9.
My advice to you like the last time is for you to like Paul be humble and go seek out people that can explain to you the truth in the Bible

I will tell you the truth that people may not have courage to tell you, Taiwo you dull. How can you not know that government policies and misadventures affects businesses and lives? Somebody that makes up to a million before in a month for example but that use 300 thousand to buy fuel is still making the one million now but buying fuel for 800 thousand, hasn’t his cost increase astronomically? Most likely the business will close to survive or downsize thereby making some people jobless.

Did you read the story very well at all that one of them was loading Ak 47 in his profile picture? what further witnesses do you need again? Could they be repentant terrorists?

You made me go read again like I missed something. In this very write up, there is no where it says one posed with a rifle before.
This again is why I emphasized the importance of education, reading and traveling; even if one of them uploaded AK47 on is social page that doesn’t in anyway make him a bad person or a bandit. In Sudan like in America, they have loose culture with guns of every type. They carry it if they can afford it and use it at weddings and at important occasions

Desusi:
immigrants carrying Ak 47? why are we deceiving ourselves?

Where you see AK47 for these ones?

A Nairalander, Wolexyoshi, who claims to be an eyewitness writes:

There is a serious illiteracy issue in Nigeria, and it affects the way we see problems and the way we proffer solutions.

Many of the people being arrested by communities in Lagos, especially the ones in Ikorodu today, are not Fulanis or bandits as they have been tagged. In interrogation, you will hear most of them say they are from Sudan. The ones from Sudan are most likely not Fulani because the Fula ethnic group is not a major ethnic group in Sudan and South Sudan. We have the Dinka, Nuba, Arab Sudanese, etc., as some of the major ethnic groups there.

The ones from Chad may very well be Fulanis or even Hausas. These two tribes are many in Chad. You can even tell from their physical features.

Many of these men that are being arrested in Lagos, at the back of the recent surge in kidnappings in the southwest, may very well be just immigrants. One will not blame the locals much, because everyone’s nervous now.

However, if Nigeria had been a largely educated country, many of these problems would have been averted. Thankfully, the communities have shown, at the least, that they are civil and we haven’t heard of lynchings.
