I have never seen Deji Adeyanju as a human right activist that you can trust. He comes off as someone who has mastered the art of using the tag of a "human rights advocate" to more or else bully and blackmail a corrupt ruling class. That's the way I look at him. When you talk of human rights activists, you talk of folks like Gani Fawhenmi and co. Deji is an oppurtuinist.

He sure knows the ills of the society and has managed to put himself in a vantage position from where he can use the media to draw attention to his character at critical political moments, but whether he could "fight" altruistically for the people irrespective of any sort of bribes/financial inducements directed towards his direction, is a different ball game altogether.

You also have to ask yourself some basic questions sometimes, like "how did the likes of Deji emerge as the dominant opinion moulders in the agitations for the respect for human rights in Nigeria "!? Who made them? Who empowered them? And who unleashed them on Nigerians..

Nigeria’s Telecom Industry Faces Dual Reality in July 2025

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has released new industry performance data for July 2025, revealing a striking contrast in the telecom sector. While the number of active subscribers declined, data consumption surged to record-breaking levels, reflecting the nation’s growing reliance on mobile internet services.

Telecom Subscribers Decline Amid SIM-NIN Regulation

In July, active telecom subscriptions dropped to 169.3 million, representing a decline of more than 2.4 million users compared to June. This brought Nigeria’s teledensity down to 78.11%.

Lol🤣🤣🤣
Dem never see anything, a lot of people will still join the 2.4 million users until it reach 20.4 million users, lol😂😂😂

CareerBlogs2025:
I once gathered ₦500,000 to start my dream education centre. It felt like the beginning of something big. But life had other plans.
My wife fell sick with a muscular disease, and in a few months, all the money I had saved for the business was gone on hospital bills. I had no choice but to take a job as a supervisor in a cosmetics shop. The pay wasn’t much, but I told myself at least it would keep us afloat.
Then my salary was delayed—three months straight. Three whole months of working without pay. I could barely feed, transport became a problem, and my wife was still sick. I eventually resigned and begged for my salary, only to meet disappointment.
That was the moment I realized: in Nigeria, starting out as an entrepreneur without real support is almost like climbing a mountain with no shoes. The ideas are there, the drive is there, but without funds, you’re left stranded.
Omo, being a Nigerian entrepreneur is not beans.
👉 How did you get your footing as an entrepreneur living in Nigeria?
#copied[b][/b]

I'm sorry for the loss. Nigeria, that name no fear you? One of the reason for my phobia for marriage, a "necessary evil". Don't worry, you'll bounce back, trust me. Mark this day, a little temporary darkness in the sky simply means there is light coming after.

Marriage is more complicated than money.

I tire for him ooo😂Different weird opinions on Nairaland😂😂😂

SmartPolician:
The only men who complain about marriage are those too broke to marry 😏 The moment a man starts making some money and he's mature, the next move is to settle down because, believe it or not, every man needs a woman and every woman needs a man.

Congratulations to Falz d Bahd Guy 👍👍

You lie Oga. And by the way, this is your opinion. I have two big bros that are very comfortable but not married. One is into tech, while the other is in the oil sector but not yet married. Though, they have kids not through marriage. To them, marriage is not their thing. One is in his early 40s while the other in his late 40s. What of myself that I’ve determined not to settle down, you think na because I no get money bah? A lot of men are waking up to the reality that marriage has never benefited men. T for thanks.

Has anyone experience this, there are places you go and it seems you've visited that place before, but you can't gather the information it just flash to you.

Something like déjà vu

LegendaryGrafix:
There’s one guy I know, let’s call him Chuka. Chuka was a normal hustler in Kaduna. He had a small shop where he sold phone accessories. Every month, he made just enough to pay rent and manage life. But anytime he scrolled Instagram or even WhatsApp, he would see his mates posting pictures with new cars, popping drinks at clubs, traveling to Dubai.

At first, he ignored it. But with time, the pressure started eating him. His family would call and say, “Your mates are doing well, when will you also make us proud?” Even his girlfriend started dropping subtle hints: “Baby, don’t you think it’s time you upgrade? At least get a car, people will respect you more.”

Chuka began to feel like he was failing in life. He wasn’t lazy, he wasn’t useless, but because he wasn’t living up to society’s standard, he carried shame everywhere he went. One day, out of frustration, he joined some friends who were into Yahoo. He told himself it was temporary, that once he made it small, he would leave.

Within months, Chuka was driving a Mercedes Benz. His parents praised him, his girlfriend became proud again, even his neighbors started calling him “boss.” On the outside, he looked like he had arrived. But on the inside, he was drowning. The fear of EFCC, the lies, the sleepless nights, the emptiness, it was killing him slowly.

One evening, while sitting alone in his car, he confessed: “This Benz no dey sweet me. I thought once I got it, my life would change. But now I realize I only did it for other people. I don’t even recognize myself anymore.”

And that’s the painful truth: many Nigerians are living like Chuka. We let societal pressure push us into things we don’t want, into debts we can’t repay, into lifestyles we can’t sustain. We kill ourselves trying to prove a point to people who don’t even care.

This is a raw reminder that until you stop living for people and start living for yourself, nothing will ever feel enough.

Because the truth is, peace of mind will take you farther than any Benz.

Boss, I'm using your story in my book ooo. I'm taking a permission now. I don't know if I can send a mail for copyright. Please, I hope this story originate from you.

We are All feeling the heat of subsidy removal in term of price skyrocketing due to high transportation cost as a result of subsidy removal.

But we can all see that things are gradually taking shape and getting better gradually, not going to be sudden but bit by bit most especially with coming of Dangote refinery and most likely others to follow.

We will get there, some solution require drastic move.

Mention those things that are getting better.

The respected prof who sold out to evil people has lost all his respect

This man's life will be remembered by him eating with the oppressors of the masses, as against his earlier stance when he was younger.

Poverty of the mind can really affect old people.

You're very right on this. I'm a Yoruba guy. I model my life after this man, the moment I saw him for whom he was, I lose my total interest and respect for him. All those activism wey e dey do na cashitivism, I'll say he was being sponsored by then. As Yoruba wey I be, I no trust my tribe for once. As I dey like this, I no get any mentor. All of them are scam.

OK, so because he asked you to guide him on how to get value for his online time, he is a bad person?

There is nothing bad if someone seeks guidance.

Nigeria. What kind of news is this? Train derailment? All is well! Result of years of corruption, nepotism, prebendalism, contract racketeering. E go touch everybody, everyone go collect gbasgbos. Let me swallow my spit.

Lanre1st:
I also impress as Modi make Trump feel turn down, it show him his excessive attitude

If it Africa liberation I can't see that coming, only South Africa place itself in good position to be liberated, you see others including Magrib (North Africa) they are arsh leaker

I understand you. I believe Africa liberation may not happen during our time, but one day it will surely happen. One thing will lead to one thing, we all cannot continue this way. A slip may happen from the Western bloc, and an African country may capitalise on that while others start following the precedent.

Centuries ago, when sla.ver.y was rampant, no one thought they would be free, but their freedom came at a cost. The same way when they colonise us (though I know we are still neo-colonised (in-dependent to them). Surely, one day, all these will be a thing of the past as well.

XtraFortunes:


Check Eazi and Otedola daughter your answer is there. You should be outstanding

You mean the billionaire Mr Eazi before he married Temi? Or you think Mr Eazi is poor, lol😂

KiNg0G:
As a man from a poor background struggling day and night trying to make ends meet in his early youth age is there any chances he can one day get to marry a wealthy lady in the future unexpectedly.

I mean we have so many wealthy people in nigeria, go to the north, the west and even the east. Generational wealths, politicians, companies owners, car dealers, rich rich folks like I can't help to think who do their daughter's marry to.

This baffles me so much, Will it be possible for a bricklayer to get married to the daughter of a senator Just for once one day in Nigeria. Or a phone repairer getting married to a daddy go daughter and more

I'm asking this questions for myself because of the dream I had few years ago about the wealthy family I married into, that's why I am still single waiting.
Pls advise me if I am wasting my time or it might one day come to pass. I should still hold on

Bros, it's fvcking impossible. It's like a camel passing through the eye of a needle.

If I ever have a daughter who fall in love with a "poor guy", I'll not allow her to marry him. The thing is the word "poor" has a lot of different meaning though especially in Nigeria. To me, my definition of poor is someone with a quack and low mentality, clueless, no prospect, pessimistic, no dreams, idea-bankrupt, no proposal, pitch or concept. I doubt if my daughter will associate with that kind of person with her home training wey I go give her. But if she bring someone who has an abundance mindset, rich mentality, with a lot of prospect and blueprint, someone who has a pitch, or proposal waiting for the right investors, someone who is trying to get on his feet, etc. As a wealthy father wey I be, I will ask the guy just three major questions among others below:

1. Who are you?

2. Where do you see yourself in the next five years and if he answers, I ask him what's doing to achieve that?

3. Then I'll ask the next question, "what are your plans with my daughter?" (The koko)

I'll ask others as well to check his intellectual, social, emotional, adversity quotient. I'll even get him slightly angry to check his countenance sef. I'll place him under a watch for like 3 to 4 months, even hiring private investigator to gather information about him, dig his pasts for me. If he pass, I'll loan him some money to fulfill his dream. But if he fail, over my dead body.

ComeToJesus:
In a country that the youths know their onions, people like Gehgeh or whatever would have been in the abyss of nondescript fellows.

But here, youth who are cut in the same fabric as the bbclaat are hailing him and urging the disoriented fellow on simply because he commodifies women.

Such a shame..

Look at you, he commodifies women, lol. Who commodifies themselves, the parasitic women or the lustful men? If men stop patronising them, do you think these parasitic women will not behave themselves. According to an African proverb, it's the gourd that shows where a rope will be placed on its neck.

P. S: You don't need to wear suit, educated, or look good to pass a reasonable message. By the way, most words of wisdoms are learn from the underestimated.
