Business / Re: Naira Depreciates To N1,305/$ In Parallel Market by Tolupage(m): 11:32am On Apr 25 |
obiekunie01: You're partly right, cause you never talked about herdsmen and terrorists occupying most farming communities. CBN is only papering over the cracks with the hope that Dangote refinery would be able to significantly cushion the demand for dollar. They can't continue to subsidize the dollar for BDCs, it will eventually blow up in their faces just like dollar started gaining the day news about foreign reserve being used to subsidize the dollar officially broke. Govt should just focus on creating enabling environment for economic growth while implementing policies to ensure exchange rate doesn't cripple the economy |
Travel / Re: Aba Residents Groan As Rain Washes Off Newly Constructed People's Road (Video) by Tolupage(m): 9:16am On Apr 20 |
Took time to watch the video, 1. The road seems to be in good condition 2. The drainage are fine too and to some extent effective 3. Canals should have been built either side of the road to channel water 4. The road seems broken but not broken. Seems broken cause of the amount of dirt and debris that have been washed on it due to the amount of rain. The guy in the video shoulda seen that but kept mute 5. Some houses were built along water channel 6. A possible structural deficiency from the engineers, multiple culverts shoulda been built under the road to allow water flow from one part to the other. Overall the guy in the video seems to be a propaganda enthusiast. The road wasn't damaged and the flooding wasn't as a result of the road. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Why Do Some Great Pastors Die Young Despite Healing Many by Tolupage(m): 9:35am On Mar 17 |
Death is not the ultimate, neither is it a proof of ones relationship with God. As long as one has fulfilled purpose, it is irrelevant what age one dies. Christ died aged 33, Stephen in his prime and yet it could be said they fulfilled purpose. Paul spent half his Christian life in prison, I'm sure it he were a free man, we wouldn't have so many letters/books from him. Longevity, health, wealth, freedom are good but they are of little value in God's plan. |
Politics / Re: IGP Bans Use Of POS Machines In Stations, Force Facilities Nationwide by Tolupage(m): 8:43am On Mar 05 |
These guys are really myopic. That a tool is misused doesn't mean it's bad, at every single turn the only solution is to ban things and end up more devastating effect. Why not go hard on corruption within the force that fuels the despicable act of forcing people to part with their money to officers, when will their be show of decisive and commensurate punishment for guilty ones? If POS no dey station criminals will still use outside POS. |
Phones / Re: Which Is Better Between This Two Phones by Tolupage(m): 7:16am On Jan 30 |
Poisonousman: Uncle, I've never used Tecno all my life cause ama stereotype but considering my current challenge, I probably woulda preferred it. Modified Why do I feel like you're the one who gets paid by Redmi and it blinds your judgement. If you have a reason why he shouldn't use Tenco or any other device in the market spill it and if there is a reason or advantage you think Redmi has over all the other devices then put it forward. Don't just come around with baseless accusations trying to coax OP to buying 'your fav' with his hard earned money in this Tinubu era. |
Phones / Re: Which Is Better Between This Two Phones by Tolupage(m): 7:13am On Jan 30 |
Poisonousman: I owe you no further explanation and I stand by my earlier statement. You'd be surprised to hear that I know 3 other people with varying experiences with Redmi. One of them his device also turns off like NEPA. Moreso if your device isn't at least 18 months old then I expect no arguement from you. Lastly this is not too say all Redmi have problems, I'm only saying the device is not worth the hassle and for me it's whack. |
Phones / Re: Redmi Note 13 Pro! Is It Worth It? (photos) by Tolupage(m): 1:59pm On Jan 28 |
To anyone who cares to listen Redmi is not worth the hype. I might put it in the same category with Oraimo Power bank. |
Phones / Re: Which Is Better Between This Two Phones by Tolupage(m): 1:54pm On Jan 28 |
Please don't buy Redmi, it's probably a phone with semblance of quality but whack. Currently use Note 11s and after 16months I will say it is not worth it. Different issues at different time. First it starts to turn off by itself and never comes on, recently the battery hours has dropped by almost ½. I must also say the first full year, the phone was superb with no issue, but overall I think infinix and Tecno make better devices 3 Likes |
Family / Re: Parents With Sickle Cell Kids How Do You Cope? by Tolupage(m): 9:13am On Dec 01, 2023 |
Yemike: Yemike, I understand your pain and a big thank you for the continual support. Here are my thoughts as someone who's SS. 1. Help them cultivate the habit of takin their routin drugs, folic acid, bco and paludrin. Truthfully we don't like taking drugs and once one is healthy, we most times forget about them. 2. Avoid stress by all means. Physical, mental, emotional and psychological. Heartbreak from a babe can land one in hospital. 3. Never strain your body. exercise, sport and labor can be detrimental, they all must learn to do these with caution and within limit. I'm not asking they become pampered and spoilt tho. 4. Get them supplements: there are lots of supplement out there can can really boost immune system and help each of them live really healthy. Find one of those. Some supplement don't work for people tho, so find the right one. I know a lot of people recommend Hydroxyurea, but I'd say it should be your last resort unless recommended by your doctor. 5. Love them with all you've got and show it, they'll need it. 6. Avoid mosquito bites by all means. Mosquito nets should be encouraged. 7. Teach them independence, they'll need it. People no too send you. Once one begin to fall sick too frequently they'll eventually get tired... Don't blame them too. 8. Keep first aid drugs around at all times, PCM, Diclofenac, Aboniki. 9. Don't let their battles drain you, you also deserve a good life 10. Help them understand they can live well, and be the best version of themselves. They must cultivate strong desire to live and enjoy life. 11. Hydration is non negotiable. Minimum 7 sachet of water daily. Regular cup shouldn't be less than 10. 12. Avoid extreme weather. Cold? Wear your cardigan. Hot? Loosen up. Lastly Make dem sabi God oooooooooooo, cause na him dey run things. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
Health / Re: Is It Safe For Drinking? by Tolupage(m): 9:34pm On Sep 02, 2023 |
Kinda think it is safe. A standard borehole should at least be 30m deep. While a soak away should around 2m. When water percolates, it tends to take out impurities so I feel if the borehole is safe although this should not become a regular practice 11 Likes |

Religion / Re: Should Christian Couples Confess Adultery To Their Partners? by Tolupage(m): 9:38am On May 07, 2023 |
YES. I assume this thread is for Christians. While one may fall and have sexual relationship outside marriage, once he/she is able to find his feet in Christ again, he should prayerfully tell his/her partner. Tho, the consequence might be great, it surely does comes with peace of mind and a clear conscience and the beautiful thing is an exposed sin rarely thrive. Cheers 4 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / New Naira Notes: The Rich Are Also Suffering by Tolupage(m): 8:48am On Feb 03, 2023 |
Someone said only the poor are being affected by the current crisis caused by the new CBN policy and I laugh, yes the masses seem to be affected more but I think that's because that's where the corruption has brought us. Do you really think the elite are not wailing at this policy? Why do you think every single day they are discussing the matter at the legislative chamber, if you think it's because they don't want you and I to suffer then I weep at your ignorance. What do you think Tinubu's outburst in Ogun is meant for? For those who think all they need to do is place calls to top bank MDs and they'll get cash delivered to their houses then I laugh. Yes they'll get cash delivered but is it gonna be enough to meet their need? In a country where 2 bullion vans were needed during election by an individual years ago how many bullion vans do you think he'll need now that he's contesting personally? Do you think any bank manager or CEO can arrange that this period? That the 1% of the 1% don't go to the street to protest or queue at the bank doesn't mean they ain't feeling the pain, in fact they feel it more because they definitely need more than any ATM could dispense at this time. Yes, we suffer greatly by this policy but for me it's a pain we must bear while the CBN and other actors put their implementation process together cause it's really been a messy one for the masses. All in all, the idea and policy is good, the implementation though has been whacky probably caused by saboteurs of these 1% bent on seeing Nigeria ruined. |
Sports / Re: Infantino Requests Countries To Name Stadium After Pele by Tolupage(m): 10:38pm On Jan 02, 2023 |
MERCHANDISER: What a myopic way to argue. Do you think if Messi played in Pele's era he'd be anywhere near being in the goat argument? 1. Messi would never had the technological advancements to have aided his growth deficiency. 2. How do you think he'd cope playing on those hard natural/synthetic greases? 3. With such poor medical knowledge back then Messi would probably be spending months on the treatment table. 4. These days with all the data available to teams, coaches and technical crew, players have greater advantage over opponent. Summarily, goat in each era deserve to be respected and surely for me Pele is shoulder above Messi 3 Likes |
Foreign Affairs / Re: UK To Send 120 Armoured Vehicles To Ukraine As Boris Johnson Meets Zelensky by Tolupage(m): 10:41am On Apr 10, 2022 |
Mooh247: Ukraine don't have enough pilots proven to be able to fly F16 or other model of US fighter jets. Sending those jets would get America right in the middle of the crisis, cause they'll have to provide logistics like fuel, maintenance and training on a consistent basis. Moreso, Russia still control most of Ukrainian airspace 1 Like 1 Share |
Foreign Affairs / Re: UK To Send 120 Armoured Vehicles To Ukraine As Boris Johnson Meets Zelensky by Tolupage(m): 10:33am On Apr 10, 2022 |
Mooh247: Europe and NATO cannot provide Ukraine with the kind of fighter jets Ukraine desires for so many reasons. Firstly Ukraine don't have the logistics to maintain US made fighter jets. their pilots are trained for months just to handle fighter jets, with Ukrainian soldiers haven't not flown American jets, training alone would take months. The above reason is also same why most of the weapons sent to Ukraine are Russian made, most of which Ukrainian soldiers are very much familiar with. No sane country would give out weapons worth hundreds of millions so Ukraine can lose it to Russians in shortest possible time cause of lack of skill. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lorex6 I greatly admire your courage and entrepreneurial spirit at such tender age. Please forget whatever returns you are making on barbing while the income is really much personally I don't see it as a long term business except you are really able to grow it so big and of standard that it becomes a brand. While learning blockchain or any other digital skill may take time to yield returns and most likely you will run into big challenges capable of killing your passion or commitment, the long term result is just massively overwhelming if you can focus and pull through. As regards education I be fan of education oo, so please try and combine your academics with the side hustle, most likely you won't come out with excellent grades cause of your divided attention but make sure in that four years you master the skill. I am sure the sky wont stop you. 1 Like |
Politics / Tacit Genocide By Presidency by Tolupage(m): 7:53pm On Apr 30, 2021 |
These days you could almost accurately predict the kind of news that would greet you the moment you decide to surf through web pages of any news agency in Nigeria, blogs and forums are not left out in this, as almost every state in the country has experienced it fair share of neglect by the central government whose primary responsibility is to secure lives and property of it citizens. Chief amongst the marauders are the Fulani herdsmen and BokoHaram who has little or no fight/resistance from the government over the years. The recent spat between governor Ortom of Benue State and the Presidency alongside the handling of the Patanmi saga has clearly showed why there has been no fight worthy of success in this regard. Obviously the loyalty of the commander in chief lies with his kinsmen and not with the Constitution that he swore to abide with, and glaring is this fact to all and sundry that village heads and traditional leaders are paying these terrorists in millions in order to LIVE. How much worse could things get I keep pondering over these questions. ✓ Why has Pantami not resigned, sacked or suspended. With numerous complaint of sabotage and misinformation over the years, I wonder why he still holds office ✓ Presidency's response to governor Ortom's remark reeks of guilt and nonchalance. How come Garba Shehu's reply reeks of tacit support for the Herdsmen? ✓ Despite the military shakeup after been long overdue, rate of insurgency is still on the rise ✓ Sheikh Gumi's rise to fame and popularity negotiating for Herdsmen is worrisome. All over the world ✓ Recent claim of public recruitment by BokoHaram with take home pay as high as the minimum wage is worrisome. Ask residents of Baga, Damasak, Chibok, Secondary school students in Kaduna, farmers in Niger and Benue you'll realize the kind of terror they live through. Humanitarian workers trying to provide relief for these people are not left out also. Alas, it's a shame we have a commander whose alliance is with the enemy no wonder it has only been a one sided massacre in favor of the terrorists over the years. |
