In all honesty, I am very disappointed.

When I was working in Eleganza with Tunde Okoya, the second son of Razaki Okoya, who was the Director in the Eleganza Indsustries way back, I recall that it was Tunde the second son who use to give this guy stippends to live on. As a matter of fact, Fatai Okoya was living in the official quarters of Elegaza located inside Site II, close to Billings Way, Oregun. This matter has been long......

You were right brother, I also worked there, you were on site 2 headed by Tunde Okoya and I was working at site 1 headed by Taofeek Okoya, the both companies were closed to each other on Billing ways beside 7up.

I want to be very honest with you.

First of all, there is no place in the Bible that explicitly says that masturbation is a sin. However, the Bible speaks strongly against sexual impurity and sexual pollution.

I remember vividly that I started masturbating in 1993, and I continued for almost 30 years.

For me, masturbation became an addiction. It got to a point where, if I did not masturbate in a day, I would not feel like myself. Spiritually, I felt empty. I prayed several times for deliverance, but unfortunately, I kept finding myself going back to it again and again.

In my real life, I wasn't making the kind of progress I should have been making. Even though I was smart and capable in what I was doing, I felt spiritually weak, and I believed that my lack of self-control was affecting my relationship with God and my purpose in life.

Then one day, something remarkable happened.

I was in the bathroom preparing to take my bath and, as usual, I was about to masturbate. Suddenly, something inside me spoke strongly to my heart: I needed to stop. I told myself that if I made up my mind and remained determined, I could overcome it and begin to walk more fully in what I believed God had planned for my life.

That day, I made a decision: I would never masturbate again.

Do you know that from that day until now, I have not masturbated?

I can honestly tell you that the things the Almighty Father has done in my life since then still amaze me to this very minute.

I am sharing this with you not to condemn you or make you feel worthless. I am sharing it because I know what it is like to struggle with this habit for years. I know what it feels like to want to stop but find yourself going back to it.

If you are currently addicted to masturbation, please don't give up on yourself. Make a firm decision, seek God sincerely, and take it one day at a time. You may have fallen many times, but falling does not mean you cannot rise again.

If I could overcome something I struggled with for almost 30 years, I believe you too can overcome it.

In all honesty, something has gone wrong in Nigeria, I just bought a fuel of N30k to my car now and the guage was just 2 above the reserve, it's a pity things went this way.

In all honesty, Tinubu suppose to resigned. This shouldn't be said about a sitting president of a nation.

Our Gp tanks too are directly to sunlight, may God save us all.

PROPHET UMAHI. I hope you will start prophetic ministry very soon.

Stomach Checkup didn't allow me to do a Medical Checkup, but in all honesty my last Checkup was done about 35 years ago.

This is very good. It makes sense.

There's no True Love even in Nigeria, it's very obvious that in every family, the love of the mother is directly proportional to her children and not her husband.

Happy birthday pastor Kumuyi, More years ahead.

Back in my higher institution days, I was dating two ladies at the same time. One was a Christian while the other was a Muslim. As time went on, I realized I needed to become serious with my life and make a clear choice between the two.

Deep inside me, I knew the Muslim lady truly loved me so much. Her love was genuine and sincere. But because I was a Christian, I felt it would be better for me to continue with the Christian lady and let the Muslim lady go. It was not easy for her at all, and honestly, it was not easy for me either, but I believed I was making the right decision then.

So I stayed with the Christian lady. After some time, I suddenly noticed she stopped calling me and no longer picked my calls. I was confused and kept wondering what went wrong. During the holiday, I decided to visit her at her house so we could talk face to face. When I got there, she simply told me she was no longer interested in the relationship. That was how everything ended between us.

A few weeks later, I heard from a reliable source that she was already engaged to another man.

Life moved on, but something unexpected happened that same year in December. One evening, I heard a knock on the gate downstairs. I went to open it, and to my greatest surprise, it was the Muslim lady standing there. She had come back into my life.

From there, the rest became history. Today, we have been happily married for about 16 years, and we are doing very well together.

The biggest shock came years later, around 2020, when the Christian lady suddenly contacted me again. She said she was having serious issues in her marriage and needed someone to talk to. I allowed her to visit me in Lekki. She opened up about many things happening in her home. I advised her to try her best to manage and save her marriage, and I also supported her with some money before she left. That was the end of it.

Life has a funny way of working itself out. Sometimes, time and nature choose the right life partner for a person better than we can ever imagine ourselves.

I am struggling to understand the reasons that whatever this man says irritates me.

GOD IS MY EMERGENCY FUND HOLDER. HE KNOWS HOW MUCH I WOULD NEED AND HE WOULD PROVIDE IT ACCORDINLY.MEANWHILE ,I DON'T SPEND RECKLESSLY, I AM A CAUTIOUS SPENDER.

You were right, just yesterday a friend sent the photos of his wife to me on the hospital bed that needs N4M for surgery, what would his N420k emergency fund do in that capacity.

I was advised to buy a manual car as my first car then, that I should drive it for one year and then buy Automatic thereafter, I bought the manual car, I taught myself how to drive from YouTube and other channels, but do you know that I fell deeply in love with this manual car, whenever I changed the gear I found my self dancing on the wheel but still don't know if am dancing to the media playing in the car or the gear switching.

Whenever I drove on my wife Automatic it would be like I was missing something in driving.

Way back, I used to loosed it and fix the twisted tapes inside it.

Eleribu have spoilt everything but thanks to Jehovah for his blessings.

N100k Kwa

My honest daily/ Monthly bill only, other expenses not Included

Electricity bill 15k
Dstv N11k
School Dailly stipends to kid N1k daily that's N5k a week and N20k a month

Total N74,000

N1OO,000 - 74,000 =N26,000

Who eased the inflation as stated. Government of propaganda whilst a well furnished Lies.

In all honesty, I never imagined that Nigeria can be in all the messy situations that we found it today, never in my widest imagination that Bola Tinubu era will be this messy.

I am very disappointed.

There isn’t a single perfect indicator, but political scientists and historians generally agree that the most determinant factor of a bad government is how it treats the rights, welfare, and accountability to its citizens. In practice, several key signs reveal whether a government is bad or not.
Here are the most important factors 👇
1. Lack of Accountability
If leaders cannot be held responsible for their actions, governments tend to become abusive.
Examples include:
Rigged elections
No independent courts
Media censorship
Leaders staying in power indefinitely
Countries scoring poorly on measures like the Democracy Index or Freedom in the World Index often show this pattern.
Why it matters:
Without accountability, corruption and abuse grow unchecked.
2. Violation of Human Rights
A government becomes clearly harmful when it systematically violates the basic rights of its people.
Examples:
Torture or arbitrary detention
Suppressing protests
Discrimination against minorities
International groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch monitor these abuses.
3. Widespread Corruption
When public officials use power for personal gain rather than public service.
This includes:
Bribery
Embezzlement
Nepotism
Corruption levels are measured by the Corruption Perceptions Index produced by Transparency International.
4. Failure to Provide Basic Public Goods
A government is failing if it cannot provide essential services such as:
Security
Infrastructure
Healthcare
Education
Organizations like the World Bank and United Nations track these development indicators.
5. Suppression of Opposition
A government becomes dangerous when it does not allow peaceful disagreement.
Signs include:
Arresting opposition politicians
Controlling elections
Banning political parties
Healthy governments allow criticism without punishment.
✅ In summary:
The most decisive factor is whether citizens can hold their leaders accountable and keep their basic rights. When those disappear, corruption, repression, and poor governance usually follow.
💡 A simple rule many scholars use:
If citizens cannot peacefully change their leaders or criticize them without fear, the government is likely bad.

To be honest, Wizkid has lost relevance in music , was watching his video songs the other day and it was bulsh**t

To be honest, I am not interested to watch those guys.

I BELIEVED. GOD FOR UNDENIABLE BREAKTHROUGH.

Happy New Year to all Nairalanders and Nigerians, Welcome to the Year of Taxation.

Nigerians are in a very deep pains for voting for Tinubu.

His few years has been miserable.

Hope Lost Already In This nation, Things have gone really bad and there's nothing the government can do about it.
