This is the picture you are looking for

The first pic is from the 60s/70s. They used coins to operate the phones.

The second pic is for the phonebooths released in the mid 90s.
Our kobo was useless by then, so we used a smartcard thing.
You buy credit from NITEL office then insert the card into the phone and talk fast.

The 3rd Pic. I was not aware of that. Maybe early 2000s.
I left Nigeria then, and when I returned there was nothing like public phone again.

89green:
So you want all these nonsense in Ondo right, what exactly would the people/children gain from all these immorality

You make a party venue, and charge money for entry.
This is how hotels and night clubs work.
Or you can do a museum with your cultural artifacts, and charge for entry.

Biznesworld:
It takes great determination to do these!

Well, why is she doing it in front of camera?

Mafash25:
Who will defend the land if not soldiers

OK.
Then when the soldiers are minding their business, leave them alone.

nwirinedu:
And the orchestrators of these wars are somewhere sipping coffee. An avoidable war that has destroyed the region, especially countries that relied on Russia and Ukraine for cheap natural resources.

This thing is making me so angry.
Instead of the soldiers to go and kill Putin and Zelenski, that started the useless war, they are both killing each other.
If you face Judgement before God and Devil carry you go hell fire, Wetin you gain?

VillageOracle00:
Chaiii they have poisoned both citizens mind

Soldier work is a useless work.
The leader caused the quarell with another leader.
Instead of the 2 leaders to go and fight themselves, they will now drag you, soldier, to go and fight for them. You will die and and go and face judgement before God.
Meanwhile the 2 leaders will still be here, eating meatpie and shawarma.
Nonsense.

Back in 1981, I used to think this car Citreon was a slick sports car as all other cars on the road were BOX shaped
I couldn't imagine anything slicker or faster.
Today, all cars are sports cars and 10 times faster.

XAUUSD:
So for many years, they made sure that our refineries didn't work...now because of some useless fight for their pockets with Dangote, they are now reviving the refineries in order to frustrate Dangote.

NNPCL is the villain here. All they care about is their pocket. They're not reviving the refineries because they love Nigerians so much and think we're a sweetheart and we've suffered so much, but they're just getting at Dangote.

This mentality I will say in indigenous to Nigeria particularly. This is the same mentality our politicians have, the same mentality our governors, Senators, Local government chairmen, councillors etc have.
It's not about the people, but about the themselves.

That being said, it's not surprising cos when you consider the fact that the resources in Nigeria was bought by the British and probably still run by the British through proxies, you begin to understand why even down to the grassroot its a business mentality we all have. It's about "what's in it for me?" There is no patriotism, there hasn't been and there will never be any patriotism in Nigeria, which by the way is just a paper republic. So, until we destroy the building from the foundation and rebuild what we can die for, we are doomed as a people.

We really need to get rid of this type of government we have.
There's 230 million Nigerians. If we die off , the govt will be happy. Because they can finally chop in peace.
Unlike western nations, Nigeria has still not found out a way to GRAB the balls of the government and make it responsible to the citizens.
We can't charge police.
We can't protest.
Buhari switched off Twitter.
Our government caters to western nations and interests instead.
We people , are just useless visitors on our own country.

Solidex:
That car is overrated.
Shapeless .

It's a stupid design.
Elon Musk just had a "childish" dream and decided to
use his wealth to produce this vehicle, to see if it will catch on.
All other experienced vehicle designers have stated that
it's a complete rubbish design with 100s of faults.
But let them just keep quiet first, since it's the richest man than wants it.
Time will tell.
Sometimes, life comes along, and you have to put aside your childish imagination.

That's electric car for you with its lithium cell batteries.
And that fire will not quench until all the lithium batteries have been burnt complete.
If you like, carry the vehicle and drop it inside the river, the fire will still burn underwater.

Matrix13790:
What is America minimum wage?

Some places $7.25 per hour other places $12, $14, $16
So that's between
$1160 per month - N1,856,000
and $2560 per month - N4,096,000

But as always, other countries spend money BIGLY!
So that N4million will still finish before month end.

https://www.minimum-wage.org/wage-by-state

This site is filled up with angry and confused people just like the rest of Nigeria.

EKOMADENG:
Survival of the fittest....if you know what I mean.

Let's not play that game, abeg.

Maybe they have that car key frequency thing.

It's like for an event to be newsworthy to bloggers and journalists in this country, it has to be bad. Maybe the topic should be changed to "20 Most Dominant Bad Events of 2024"

So none of the following, and more, events were worthy enough to make it into your list?

1. Increase in National minimum wage

2. Chidinma Adeshina crowned miss Universe Nigeria and then 1st runner up Miss Universe 2024 and then again Miss Universe Africa and Oceania after suffering victimisation and then controversial disqualification in South Africa

3. Nigeria came second place in the 2023 African Cup of Nations in February 2024

4. Resumption of flights by Air Peace and indigenous carrier to one of the most lucrative travel destinations in the world

5. A Nigerian wins African footballer of the year

6. Flag off of construction of the Lagos calabar coastal highway

7. Danfote refinery finally kicks off

8. Resuscitation of the Port Harcourt refinery

If we're still suffering hunger, these so called good news doesn't make any sense.
Yes Dangote Refinery started operating. It's not operating for operating sake.
It's sole purpose is to instantly reduce the price or petrol. And it didn't do that.
May 2023: N238.11
June 2023: N545.83
July 2023: N600.35
August 2023: N626.70
September 2023: N626.21
October 2023: N630.63
November 2023: N648.93
December 2023: N671.86

These ones are BEFORE Refinery.

Now that there's Refinery, what's the price?
N1100, N1000, N900
-
E still pass Na!?
So what have we gained?

DJInfluence:
Just look at them – they’re only kids. Nigeria let them down, and now they’re letting Nigeria down in return. There are so many others with similar stories, some already caught up in crime, and others likely to follow if nothing changes.

When they see people flexing money on social media, it destroys their mindset. They can never think of hard work again.
Only instant results.
Hence stealing.
Social media and friends caused this.

richiemcgold:
So all these small small okoro boys don dey do arm robber? I wonder what will become of them by the time they grow older..

They haven't seen any positive role models in the entire country to follow.
Good people with money have all japad from Nigeria.
It's either poor or bad people that remain behind

TechCapon:
Christianity in Nigeria is so diluted, reason why it looks like Islam is a little bit more respected

Devil caused it.
Instead of Christians to remain as ONE body, they enjoy breaking away and forming nonsense churches.
Muslims, just remain united.

So because he wanted to go to Mosque, that's why all the whole police in Lagos blocked
the road, pursued buses and Okada comot?
We had to be trekking because of him.
Ok.
Tomorrow, I will go to Church, he will see what I will do.
No dulling this year.

franvincoop:
Point of correction, its very clear you dont know what communism is.
North Korea does not practice Communism, it practices Juche.

OK cool.
They are sha forced to worship Kim jung Un.
The basxxxd used surface to air gun to blast his own uncle, as a lesson to others for disobedience.
You must bow before his statue.
If you're taking a picture of the statue, it must be full, head to toe. You can't take head shot alone.
A lot of bullsh,,t about all this on YouTube.

ehikwe22:
That's not the point. The point is that they don't have strong leadership. Do you think China got to where they are today by disgracing every president out of office? Or that Russia became a global force once again after their decline to non entity by disgracing their leaders out of office?

If all leaders are disgraced oit of office, then they have a leadership problem. It's either their institution is faulty or they don't have any strong leadership or both.

The problem is that you looked at it from a single point without balancing it

Hmm, they remain under the threat of North Korea, taking over O.
North Korea used to find trouble by firing missiles into sea near South Korea. Well, let's hope the best for them and see what happens.

God1000:
South Korea has a sound democracy, in Nigeria the executive branch controls the national assembly

Korea as a whole had a nasty battle that ended up in the division of the country into North Korea and South Korea, with a demilitarised zone between the 2 countries. The North worships Kim Un and practices communism. The south does democracy. So the South cannot afford to fxxx up in their democratic ideologies or fight with itself as North Korea remains ever ready to just push the border open and overrun them.
They have A LOT to lose if the mess up their democracy that is why their unity is strong.
Nigeria don't have anything to lose, that's why we're online insulting each other everyday. No consequence.

Thank God they didn't finish this building before it collapsed
and killed hundreds more.
Nonsense construction.
Thank God for life.

ogaemma:
The results of living a fake life.

Many Nigerians live fake lives.
It's our culture to promote fakeness.
From using fake hair (hair extension) instead of just having your own hair.
Using skin lightening cream, because ladies are ashamed of their very own dark skin.
Yahooing and drinking N100k Champagne in Nightclub,
instead of just saying, "sorry I don't have work".
Using sportsbet to appear larger than life,
Televising gift giving and money spraying on social media...
Instead of just quietly giving the person you want to give.
Discussing ManU and Arsenal, 24/7, When people in Manchester are not discussing YOU.
Fake life, Fake culture.

Free2Fly:
People can still have their undergraduate studies in Nigeria and travel thereafter for their PGs, and it's far cheaper that way.

You guys should stop these yeye pieces of advice

You're still using Nigerian mind to reason.
You're talking about PG..
Book, book, book.
One Lebanese consultant I worked under, here in Nigeria, said that we Nigerians read books too much for reading sake.
For them, they go straight into construction, machinery right from Secondary school. Everyday, after school, they are at the workshop. That's how they get experience and start running industry then come here to Nigeria to setup up their company and employ YOU Nigerian with PhD to work UNDER them..
When I lived in UK, everybody was working. I met people that were not interested in University at all, working in same office I was working. Some were even my senior.
Face work directly and stop using nonsense university and PhD to dodge responsibility.

LIVINGICONREBOR:
That is not true. I am a living example. I still lift weights that younger dudes dread. I do my cardios. I still do my sprints well. Infact I still have my early morning erections. It depends on how you live life in your 20s and 30s. Clean diet and active lifestyle is key.

With all the clean diet and exercise
I still got arthritis on my left hip and left shoulder.
Doctor was just staring at me.
I was asking for explanation what did I do wrong?. Doctor no get explanation.
Can you cure it?
Doctor no get explanation.
Will it go by itself?
Doctor no get explanation.
So i just have to manage my pains like that.
Just thank God for your health, because when it goes, no force in heaven or earth will bring it back.

helinues:
Can you see what I am talking about you.

You have taken your own incoherency to another dimensions.

So it's now Nigeria election not me again?

Very easy SA guy to predict

Better leave that person alone.
Maybe he is totally mad/lunatic/hospital case.
And you're burning your energy on a lunatic.
It can't work.
It like entering an asylum as a doctor and shouting at all the sick people there, expecting them to reason with you and change.
They are already mad. They need rehabilitation and medicine.
