Nawa o!

People wey dem born complete dey take am for granted.


I was on a video call with a disabled foreign friend when she saw my daughter running around the house. She said, "Wow! Sweet girl! I wish I could run like that." I felt so sorry for her. So many thoughts ran through my mind that day.

She once told me that she didn't want to have children because she didn't want them to suffer the way she's suffering..... She inherited her disability from her mother.

Bro, you no go understand until you do, hmmmm. Running is a stretch even, not being able to walk and then watching toddlers walking long distances like it's nothing on little legs did more damage to the psyche of my beloved friend than the actual inability to walk. He partially recovered now but he still ain't the same man he used to be.

I have problems with men of God going into politics, they seem to forget God when they're in power and only invoke his name when they want to scam their followers, but let me sha zip it before they say I've betrayed my own....🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

There appears to be some relief for Nigerian households as traders report a significant drop in the price of rice across parts of the country.

According to a report by Legit.ng, a 50kg bag of rice that previously sold for around ₦90,000 to ₦100,000 is now reportedly going for ₦60,000 to ₦70,000 in some markets.

That's a potential reduction of up to 30%, depending on the market, brand and variety.

The decline has been linked to improved rice supply and increased competition among traders.

For many Nigerian families, this is welcome news, especially considering how much food prices have affected household budgets over the past few years.

However, there is still one important question.

Are these lower prices actually reaching consumers in neighbourhood markets, or are they mainly being reported in major wholesale markets?

Because sometimes we hear that food prices have crashed, but when you get to the market near your house, the sellers have a completely different price.

Nairalanders, how much is a 50kg bag of rice selling in your area right now?

Please mention your state or market so we can compare actual prices across Nigeria.

is this vituperation coming from an unemployable youth who is jealous of the the fact some employable youths will be employed to keep body and soul together?

UBA is a private entity set up by a private individual,not a government organisation. Which private company has your forebears set up to provide career prospects and growth to the youths?

There's always a starting point in one's life, and if this opportunity will afford some youth a starting point, it's a good thing.

na to cho cho cho with unfounded criticism una sabi

This post was making sense until you reached the bolded part
[“Which private company has your forebears set up to provide career prospects and growth to the youths”] you at last, don't really have sense after all.
Pity

Nairalander248:
The bird shown in the image is a Western plantain-eater (Crinifer piscator).

Key Characteristics:
• Taxonomy: It is a large, non-climbing member of the turaco family (Musophagidae), native to the open woodland and savanna regions of tropical West Africa.
• Appearance: It features heavily streaked grey-and-white body plumage, a dark brown head with an erectile crest, and a prominent, thick bright yellow bill.
• Behavior: Unlike many of their brightly colored forest-dwelling turaco relatives, plantain-eaters are drabber in color but highly conspicuous due to their loud, cackling calls. They feed primarily on wild and cultivated fruits—especially figs—as well as seeds and leaves

Release those poor creatures to the wild, you are holding them hostage

Da heck is someone going to do with a plantain eater? One can't even keep it as a pet cause "loud, cackling calls" OP, just twist their kneck and pot them properly abi juju people they buy this kind of birds ni?👀

He killed someone

He was so cute and chubby

Why is life hard

I'd like you to repeat the same thing in front of the family of the person he killed, I want to test something.
₦250,000 if you can look in his mother's eyes and say the above with your full chest 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

Oracleee:
You sha want to bring him down, Oya go ahead.

But what if this is true, if it isn't the newspaper will of course issue an apology but if it is, DO YOU THINK IT IS OKAY TO TELL PUBLIC LIES LIKE THIS? OR IS BRINGING DOWN SUDDENLY THE PHRASE WE'RE USING WHENEVER SOMEONE IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE? In call caps, so you don't need to use yer glasses 👀

Sell the laptop and buy phone, priorities

Rhado:
The people talking down on Itel should calm down. You guys are trying to run down another man’s business. If you can’t use their phone, just state your valid reason and move on. What some of you’re writing here is not good.

How's "talking down" on a product suddenly ruining another man's business bayi? How did people's genuine experience with a bad product they used money to buy, suddenly ruining another man's business, is everything okay at home, sir?

ElevationD:
Jealousy is the word.

Kenyans, South Africans and Ghanaians appear to be uncontrollably envious of Nigerians. The only reason the Kenyans resist the refinery is that the owner is a Nigerian and they think that Nigerians want to take over their country.

Ethnicity, religion and tribalism truly is a big issue with Africans.

Be like say you didn't read the article, didn't you see the part about forceful eviction without proper compensation, etc etc.
Why you dey embrass yourself like this na, D?

Freedom? 😂🤣😂🤣

Americans are not even free!

You more free than Americans! Forget the hype!

Americans are dedicated and constitutional slaves, Nigerians are not!

You want to talk deeper? Please don’t do! I will flaw you!

Americans are grateful slaves! They don’t have freedom more than us!

If Americans are grateful slaves than what are Nigerians? I'm not wading into the greatest country in the world mirage or otherwise but don't compare that so called country with this one where basic criticism gets you locked up and forgotten in a cell somewhere, let's not even talk about how the basic Nigerian has been trying to protect himself so much he has forgotten he has rights.
There is no illusion of people having rights in that country, they know what their rights are and they're vocal about it.
You in Nigeria that have to provide your own light, water, security, education and still pay tax for providing it for yourself is calling someone else a grateful slave.
Kai, sit down, this one pass the one brain cell still active in your brains hemisphere.

The only person on the thread who's putting on his "see beyond the claims" glasses, this one here na veteran for the game 😁

“When life threw lemons at Nigerians, they made lemonade. That’s the Naija spirit!”
The above quote don't add up, life didn't happen to Nigeria, bad people we allowed to dictate over us is what happened. The average Nigerian these days forgets that he has rights o, hmmmm.

No one is going to believe this one unfortunately, as for the money she owes, she can sell her wigs and pay up.

Which kind of backwater thinking is this abegi? Hourly wage in the UK is £12.71 per hour, PER HOUR o. Minimum wage is £2,203 (£1,880 take-home after tax).
Nigeria hourly tracks about ₦2,333 per day across a 30-day month or ₦3,500 per day across 20 working days that's for someone earning around ₦300,000+ plus o, not minimum wage, sometimes that ₦2k you're seeing no fit buy you £1 here.
Abegi which kin nonsense and ingredients comparison is this bayi? Ahn Ahn!

Themandator:
Does it make sense to you rhst he barely owns 50% and still remains the CEO with absolute control over the affairs of the refinery?

Majority of you guys don't, in reality, understand this share thing in any way or depth.

What Dangote is selling to you ,even if a single Nigerian acquires it all wont put you in the board of the refinery

If you'll just calm down enough to notice, you'll actually notice that I'm out here challenging varying numbers between what I saw offline in a National Weekly to what is online, are we not even allowed to ask question again because it is Dangote that's selling? Simply because of some grand vision of profit or gains attached to his name? Haba, questions are not attacks or a severe lack of understanding of what's going or not going on, questions are for seeking clarity not for person to be told they don't understand without being told the answer to their question 👀

Nelly9kelly:
Yes, I understand this point, and this is actually close to what I was trying to say. I have no doubt that 🦉 training is rigorous and that trainees can be withdrawn for physical unfitness, indiscipline, professional misconduct, failure in examinations, medical issues and other breaches of the training requirements.
My concern is specifically about the earlier statement that *hundreds have so far been dismissed* mainly because they tested positive for alcohol and drugs. Unless that information is coming from an official source or someone with direct knowledge of the exercise, I think we should be careful about presenting it as an established fact.
I also think we need to distinguish between alcohol consumption, an alcohol test, and violation of camp regulations.

For example, suppose someone drank alcohol at home on Tuesday, received a call-up letter on Friday and reported to camp on Monday. If the camp subsequently conducts a particular alcohol related test, depending on the type of test, it may be capable of detecting recent alcohol exposure or an alcohol biomarker beyond the period when the person is actually intoxicated. So a positive result does not automatically tell us, by itself, when or where the alcohol was consumed.
Likewise, if someone drank alcohol on Monday and was subjected to an ordinary breath or blood alcohol test a month later, we obviously cannot assume that the test would still show the alcohol. Different tests have different detection windows. Some specialized biomarkers can detect evidence of alcohol exposure for considerably longer, but that still does not necessarily establish the exact date or location of consumption.

So if the actual 🦉 regulation says that trainees must abstain completely from alcohol from a particular point, and a particular test is being used to enforce that rule, then that is a separate matter. A trainee may be disciplined for violating the conditions of training.

My point is therefore not that alcohol should be tolerated in intelligence training. I actually agree that intelligence personnel are expected to demonstrate a very high level of discipline, self control and professionalism.

My point is simply that we should not automatically equate *tested positive for alcohol* with *this person drank alcohol inside the camp*, unless we know the test used, its detection window, the circumstances and the specific regulation being enforced.
For example, if someone is dismissed because they were caught drinking alcohol inside camp, that is quite straightforward, there is an identifiable act and a specific rule that was violated. But if someone is dismissed solely because of a positive laboratory result, then it is reasonable to ask what exactly that test establishes.
The same principle applies to drugs and other misconduct. If there is an official statement giving the reasons for the withdrawals, then that would give us something concrete to discuss.
I'm not trying to defend alcohol consumption or dispute the seriousness of 🦉 training. I am only saying that, especially when information is being shared among people who are currently going through recruitment, we should distinguish between confirmed information, camp regulations, test results and assumptions about what those results mean.
No disrespect intended to anyone sharing information here. I just believe accuracy is important, particularly when the information could create unnecessary fear among trainees.

Kai, there's no alcohol that'll keep coursing in your system past 72hrs malam, a hakanma ana maganar aged Cognac fa kenan, ba irin wannan fakes din dakuke siya a bakin titiba. I'll hate for you to embarrass yourself somewhere one day saying something with your full chest like this like this

mank1234:
This untoldtruth as told by you, can you point us to your source?

I read it in The Weekly Trust physical newspaper, I've searched for the headline online but there doesn't seem to be an online newspaper archive in Nigeria, but that article even detailed all the loans he got to finance that refinery, I was shocked that he took loans to run the thing sef

OAkanni001:
Dangote currently holds 84.34% of the refinery post IPO. How does that means that he has sold the refinery to Nigerians?

It seems you don't understand how this investing of a thing works.

He opened up his business because he needed money for expansion and growing of his company which is the reason most companies go public.

You should rather educate Nigerians who sees their investment as a get rich scheme and a means to get rich fast that it does not work that way.


Infact, they may experience losses which I don't pray for but that should be their investment philosophy.

84.34%? How? According to the last public records I saw, he barely owned 50% of it, how did it jump to 84.34%? Or is he buying shares of his own company ni? He could have bought off a few investors stakes before the IPO launch but hmmmmmm, this is why people mistrust this guy 👀👀👀👀👀
