It has made Lagos stable politically and the state keeps rising.
GAC will continue to coordinate the politics within APC and anyone not happy with it can go and jump into Ezu river.

LegendHero: Glad you said “international”. Nigeria also sell crude oil in international price because that is the global trade standard. How does that relate to this discussion is what I don’t understand. We all know our currency has been devalued and it has affected our daily life. You trying to post an increasing naira quantity value that is already devalued is more like a propaganda |
Politics › Re: Statisense: Check The Size Of Nigeria Economy From 2011 To 2024 - Nominal Value by tollyboy5(m): 2:17pm On May 04, 2025 |
LegendHero: Nobody said it is going good in Nigeria currently. Even Tinubu himself admitted inflation is high due to the policies. If I may ask what significant improvement has this government done to change the lives of Nigerians because everywhere now is politics of 2027. There's still no constant light, coastal highway has added little or no values, student loan is filled with corruption and embezzlement that poor student will have to pay later. ₦70k minimum wages cannot afford a decent living. What is happening? |
Politics › Re: Statisense: Check The Size Of Nigeria Economy From 2011 To 2024 - Nominal Value by tollyboy5(m): 2:10pm On May 04, 2025 |
LegendHero: GDP is always calculated in Naira. Every country CBN calculate their GDP in Naira.
Then they convert to USD when comparing across countries to have a standardized value. Of what value is our gdp when petrol is been sold to us based on international prices? And give evidence where CBN posted Nigeria GDP in naira from their website |

Are you looking dead people to know that people are suffering due to economic woes this government put Nigerians into? Or you want Nigerians to die so that you can understand that there's hardship? |

PresidObi: With this write up, you expose your ignoramus standards
Seasonal price changes happen every year, as new harvest happens, things will become a little cheaper, until the next planting season when the new harvest will be getting dried up by demands. Go back and read your economic textbooks, demand and supply dictate prices, and not greed. Traders are experts with demand and supply seasons, and they flow with the tide, and swim in profits regardless of anything you think. Not the case in this scenario |

Nairaland General › Re: You Can Now Block People On Nairaland (for A Time) by tollyboy5(m): 11:37pm On Apr 27, 2025 |
Seun: Dear Nairalanders,
We have just activated a feature that allows you to block people who harass you for a period of time (currently a week).
When you block someone, you will be automatically blocked back by that person, so you won't be able to see each others' posts.
When the fixed period is over, you will both be released automatically, giving you another chance to treat each other better.
The admin, super-moderators, and moderators cannot block people or be blocked.
To block someone, visit the person's profile and click on the [ Block ] button shown below:
Enjoy your new power. But remember that you're also blocking yourself.  What about the global search issue? For instance I want to search some keywords from a post by you from 2020. I go to your profile and type the key word, instead of searching through your profile it search globally through all post on nairaland. Please do something about that. We should be able to narrow our search |

Culture › Re: Nigerian Traditional Weddings Are Culture, Not Themes For Foreigners (Opinion) by tollyboy5(m): 7:33am On Apr 23, 2025 |
semid4lyfe: Yes, many Nigerians wear suits and white gowns, and go to church but that's due to colonization, and imposition through religion. education and law. We didn’t pick up white weddings because we thought it was fancy and cute . It became part of our formal wedding system because of power, not preference.
That’s very different from a foreigner, who has no connection to Nigeria or any Nigerian partner waking up one day and saying, “Let’s do a Nigerian wedding", wear agbada, tie gele, and dobale just for fun.
That's Cultural appropriation which is the act of people from a more dominant or unrelated culture picking and using another culture’s sacred traditions for fun, performance or profit, without any connection, understanding, or respect.
Me wey be Nigerian, I know when we dobale, it’s not for camera. It’s respect. When we kneel, it’s not performance, it’s tradition. The Alaga that leads our engagement is not just there to shout “mo gbeyawo” , she’s holding decades of ancestral wisdom and protocol. That thing no be for aesthetics.
And let’s be real, most Nigerians still do traditional marriage first, before any white wedding. The agbada and aso oke come out before the tux and tie. We know where our roots lie.
So no, the two situations are not the same. We adapted white weddings under pressure.
.........And for those saying but you do white wedding, I didn't. This quoted poster knows cos he was there. There's no time history of the world that white asked the black to accept white wedding under pressure. You intentionally felt the white wedding is better and decided to desecrate the white culture with no connection to its root. If you feel otherwise prove it with evidence |

Read the health part.. I used the phrases " will become your concern" that shows it is a concern, but may not really affect u.. but u see the rest, it's a sure thing! Not true at all. It depends on the person lol. My uncle is in his mid forties. He doesn't experience all these. Young boys in my hood use to think he's in his 30s relate to him as a normal bro. Not until they see more elderly bro use boda for him they start to get the real picture. My daddy is in his early 60s I hardly see white hair on his head unlike my mum. It depends on family bro |
Nairaland General › Re: Apology For Rough Rollout Of New Bot Mandate by tollyboy5(m): 6:56am On Apr 21, 2025 |
Seun: Dear Nairalanders,
For years, people have been alleging that Nairaland is a toxic place where people insult each other and exhibit uncontrolled tribal bigotry. So after my last thread, we decided to follow through by extending the mandate of our anti-spam bot to include dealing with toxicity.
Unfortunately, the roll out wasn't smooth: many innocent members were unjustly banned. We apologize profusely for this. We will keep tweaking the bot to make it more accurate. Meanwhile, please reach out to the mods and supermods if you are unjustly banned.
Hit me with your suggestions and complaints. I don't think any innocent person was banned. The ban was well deserved. I'm under a ban too. What about the profile search I talked about? When you search for some particular keywords on people's profile it'll becomes a global search matching other profile. It's not good that way. Please fix that |
