The City of Johannesburg’s busiest road, Lilian Ngoyi Street, was finally reopened after two years of repairs.
One person died and 48 others were injured in the explosion when the major corridor, formerly known as Bree Street, was split in two by a massive gas explosion during peak hour traffic on 20 July 2023.
Businesses and commuters were severely affected by missed deadlines, as the repair work took nearly 26 months to complete, which was double the initial deadline.
The newly reconstructed road, between Loveday Street and End Street, will be a one-way street travelling eastbound.
The road has been resurfaced with paving bricks, moving away from traditional tarred surfaces.
The JMPD said it appreciates the public’s cooperation and patience during the rehabilitation period and urged continued vigilance as everyone adjusts to the new road layout.
A working country. After, some riff raft will be comparing Nigeria to South Africa.
Efuaye: Maybe they were in a hurry to get the circular out by all means. However, it takes someone with high intelligence and an observant mind to pick out errors in such write-ups. That's why we have proofreaders.
It doesn’t take someone of high intelligence anything.
RevenuesBoost: Marriage Is Not for the Weak, Selfish, or Irresponsible Man
Let’s speak truth:
You can marry beauty. You can marry loyalty. You can marry a woman with a heart of gold.
But if you’re immature, emotionally lazy, or careless with her trust— You didn’t marry a wife. You took advantage of a gift you weren’t ready to receive.
Because most marriages don’t fall apart from the outside— They fall when the man inside the house stops showing up fully.
1. WEAK MEN AVOID HARD THINGS
A weak man shuts down in conflict. Avoids tough conversations. Runs from responsibility.
He calls her “emotional” when she just wants clarity. He calls her “too much” when she just needs effort.
A real man leads with humility, not ego. He doesn’t just provide—he protects emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.
If pressure makes you disappear, you’re not leading—you’re escaping.
2. SELFISH MEN DRAIN THEIR WIVES
Marriage is not a one-way street.
If you expect peace but bring chaos… If you demand respect but give none… If you want her to submit while you do nothing worth following— You’re not a husband. You’re a tyrant in disguise.
A selfish man wants a servant, not a soulmate. But a great man? He lifts, leads, and listens.
Marriage requires sacrifice. If you're not ready to give, don’t expect to receive.
3. IRRESPONSIBILITY KILLS SECURITY
A woman can handle tough seasons. She can handle less money, long hours, even failure.
What she can’t handle is instability— – Financial recklessness – Broken promises – No vision, no plan, no consistency
Her respect dies the moment she realizes she has to carry what you keep dropping.
Responsibility isn’t glamorous—but it’s godly. If you can't be trusted with pressure, don’t ask her to follow your lead.
4. MARRIAGE REQUIRES CHARACTER—NOT JUST CHARM
Being good to her when things are easy is the bare minimum.
Real character shows when: – She’s struggling – You’re frustrated – Life gets hard
If your first instinct is to withdraw, blame, or cheat— You're not ready to lead. You're not even ready to love.
Marriage isn’t about control. It’s about commitment. And that takes more than a smooth tongue and good intentions.
Final Thought: Women Don’t Leave Because They’re Cold—They Leave Because They’re Exhausted
Fellas: If you think love is maintenance-free, If you treat submission like superiority, If you demand loyalty but give instability— You’re not ready for marriage.
Because a woman doesn’t need a perfect man. She needs a consistent one. One who protects, provides, and pursues—with humility and honor.
If leadership to you means dominance—not service— You don’t want a wife. You want a servant.
And that’s not marriage—it’s manipulation.
Marriage is for men—not boys in grown-up clothes. Show up. Take responsibility. Lead in love. And build something worth keeping.
Have a blessed day.
Note: This write-up focuses primarily on men. Check out my thread for the perspective on women.
This one looks like one of the mind -controlled slaves of the US government that they programm for jobs like these , and the countless school killings.
They are human robots that have their handlers and programmers and will obey any command from their programmer.
The handler didn’t program him to kill himself after executing the job.
Racoon: Everyone Nigerian has the constitutional cover to live, associate and protest against injustice and oppression irrespective of his location.
The opposite can only happen if the constitution have allowed regionalism or the contraption have been disintegrated into sovereign entities. If that has not happened, then STFU.
EponObi: Shey na Tinubu cause this one too? Dubai banned Nigeria for years because Nigerians imported mumu cultism into their country; Buhari couldn't solve it.
After many State visits to the Emirate (of which many of you abused Tinubu and said he's wasting taxpayers money and that he went there to recharge), Dubai lifted the ban. Barely two years later, you lot proceeded to abuse the privilege; forcing the Emiratis to modify their regulations.
Now you can't travel there without your family and cannot stay in hotels below 5 stars. That is, henceforth, they only want family oriented and high value Nigerians in their country. The rest of you should stay back and continue crying over bag of rice and minimum wage. Nawa for una.
Must you lie on every thread?
UAE never lifted any restrictions. The FG lied and wanted to scam Nigerians with a new office for UAE visa application before they were caught.
It’s just the same way they lied about Japan 2-3 weeks ago.
surgical: we will soon find out if there is a right time That was how they told us removal of subsidies is the panacea to all our problems it will help us save money that can be applied to important areas, we have seen the negative effects of that decision They also told us flotation of naira/ devaluation will cure all the malaise, we've seen how devastating that action has been by accentuating the multidimensional poverty and hardship in the land Now they've shifted their focus on taxation, It is just unfortunate that it is the ordinary Nigerians that are bearing the brunt of this their ill thought, try and error policies They've turned Nigerians into genuine pig for their ideas, learning on the job
Hexxah: Good! This is applicable everywhere. I remember my first year working abroad. On filling my returns, I was informed that I was owing the tax regulatory body a lot of money cause they had tracked my extra revenue from my side hustles via my account activities. All Nigerians must pay their taxes. No more anyhowness
This one fit never go airport before, but he must support any criminal in power.
