It may also be a mamba. Black mambas could either be green or silver in colour.
Yes,mambas can be green too but not very common around here.
BusinessRe: Coronavirus: Mike Adenuga Donates N1.5 Billion To Fight COVID-19 by thorpido(m): 12:28pm On Mar 31, 2020

I used that word because there have been several reports on the true owner of Globacom over the years.

TELL magazine did an exposé on the relationship between Mike Adenuga and Ibrahim Babaginda over 15 years ago and even went as far as establishing the relationship between them.

Tell wasn't the only print that beamed its light on this. That of Alakija was also written.

If I used the word 'alleged', I was only being diplomatic because Babaginda owns several businesses across Nigeria and uses some so called faithfuls around him to front these business.

What I'm sure of is Mike Adenuga isn't the outright owner of Globacom but Babaginda. If you have contrary ideas, bring them forward while I put links to these publications.

Adenuga's initial source of wealth amongstamy other things isn't alien to most people. I wonder why you think this is some abstract idea.
@bolded,there is still no proof.Even publications that were made were merely speculative.Adenuga indeed had/has a good relationship with Babangida who ENHANCED his business.It doesn't mean he owns it even though he MAY have shares in the company.Alhaji Arisekola Alao had a good relationship with Abacha and enjoyed many things during his tenure.It doesn't mean Abacha owned Arisekola's businesses.

Adenuga does not have half of Tinubu's money. I'm sure you're aware that Babangida allegedly owns Globacom and not Adenuga?

That aside, Tinubu cannot outdonate the entrepreneurs that have been coming out lest he beams unnecessary attention his way.
You say allegedly but with a touch of confidence.
Oga say what you are sure of!

Op,it is called a Garten or garden snake.
That is not a mamba.
FamilyRe: A Woman Who Has Been A Devoted Christian For Years Has HIV by thorpido(m): 8:44am On Mar 30, 2020
There are different routes to get HIV and it does not nean the person has been promiscuous.The label 'faithful Christian's does not apply here.
You need to find a way to keep encouraging her to start treatment before opportunistic infections take over.
The husband should get tested too.

Yeah,it's tough for a Nigerian woman So much crazy s#it a woman is subjected to.

Marriage is not the all in all(though it's a beautiful thing with the right person).
A woman should hold her own,have a source of income and a good self-esteem.
Most importantly,have wisdom to choose when it comes to marriage.

So I got this mail today and since the monika doesn’t not got the balls to share, she reached out to me to help out... if you got any useful advice you could drop them as she will be reading thank you

Hi casalinda, please help keep me anonymous for reason personal to me as got families here. So I got married to this lovely man from Ogun state at first it was beautiful and our union was peaceful until I got pregnant and it seem that was the beginning of my DOOM. 5month into my pregnancy I had contraction which was unusual and it eventually cause me losing my child, 3days after this my husband started misbehaving and blame the whole process on me and blame me for not saving our baby life it make it seem I was the one controlling the narrative. Things got bad that within a week my husband filed for a divorce which it was finally granted and I lost everything I mean totally everything. I don’t know what to make out of myself as I have resulted into hating men and especially Yoruba men I am losing my mind and I am confused. Please help me post this I dnt know where else to go or what else I should do
I don't know if your story is true but the bolded is where you are getting it wrong.Is your intent to make it a Yoruba bashing thread?

I don't believe your story though.One miscarriage and the next thing is a divorce? People who have had multiple miscarriages or still birth nko?

Malaria has a cure, coronavirus does not have yet.

Well,you are not blood relations so you can have the baby.
If you like yourselves so much to be sleeping with each other then maybe you can progress to marriage.
You can just have a small introduction and the wedding later.

Corona virus no even fear una.

bukatyne:
1. Apart from his poverty, why else did you marry him?
Op,this is the key question.
It's not about marrying a guy who has little,it is about marrying the right man....a man of integrity,good character and fear of God.Whether you marry a poor guy or rich guy,if his character is faulty,it's still a wrong choice.

Rip.
This is so sad.
For long journeys back then, I don't travel in small vehicles. They seem to me so unsafe to travel with.
My thinking too.How do people make long journey in a salon car?

*It's no guarantee of safety but definitely lesser risks.

Yes some have both parents who abandoned them, some are orphans etc, for you to assume that most misfits are from single parents is very wrong, that is my point.
Well,you said most are orphans and that is not true.Most have parents but come from disjointed families.

Biglittlelois:
Most? Misfits in the society today are mostly orphans who grew up in the streets, unless you can state out your claim with proof, cos we also have misfits that came out from comfortable homes with both parent present too.
They aren't mostly orphans,they are children who have parents but were abandoned or left their parents.
My work gets me involved with motherless babies homes and rehab homes for children.These children have parents but they were/are not present.

Biglittlelois:
And children who grew up with a single parent and turned out fine, wat say ye to that? I insist that marriage is not for everyone, people can choose a kind of life they want to live.
For every child that was raised by a single parent and turned out fine,there are many more that didn't.
Most social misfits in the society were raised by single parents.
FamilyRe: I Need Advice Pls by thorpido(m): 10:55pm On Mar 19, 2020
Biglittlelois:
What is wrong with single parenthood? Marriage is not for everyone, why can't you guys constantly saying this understand this simple fact?
There is something wrong with single parenthood.It's an anomaly rather than a norm.
I do understand that there are people who have to raise their children as single parents for one reason or the other e.g widowed,divorced etc.It still doesn't take away the fact that children are best raised in a loving family with the father and mother present to play their roles.
FamilyRe: I Need Advice Pls by thorpido(m): 8:44pm On Mar 19, 2020
The thing is telling him about the child is not the first thing.You both don't really have a relationship.You need to develop one first.
Telling him you have a child won't make any difference to him if he's the kind of person you said he is.He will just berate you even though he never played his role raising you well.

Like Bukatyne asked,why don't you want to marry?
Make sure you are not following your parents' path of single parenthood.

What kind of mentality is this in the 22nd century? huh
A newborn is sick and what you do is put incisions on his body and introduce infections and kuku kill the baby.Bush people sef.
If he doesn't want to come home again,tell him not to.He will be better off at Yaba left.

Big Amen to your prayer. As for the bed scarcity at the general hospital, its not a new trick by the doctors there to refer patient to their private hospital. Thanks though
Most times,there is really no bed.You have no idea of the population in the city compared with available facilities.There are times patients have to be treated on the corridors.
Doctors and health workers are not perfect but you guys don't have an idea the enormous sacrifices many of them make.
