The catholic church is meant for mass celebration and for prayers.
Meetings are held OUTSIDE of the church building itself.
Any type of food consumption is done OUTSIDE of the church building itself.
This is the way.
No exceptions.

Henix:
Our super highway is already cracking? Wonderful

Well this is a coastal road.
The entire Atlantic Ocean is beside it.
There's no way the ocean water will not shift the sand in the area or make the ground unstable.
Unless you want them to pile it, as if they're making a bridge.
And that will make it cost 10x more.
-
This is just ONE shift.
There is bound to be more of these as the years go by.

Kaido:
10m and 30m can easily be polluted especially in an overpopulated city like Lagos.

Dude, boreholes of 80m - 150m can be contaminated too through leaching and even biological stuffs like bacterial and virus.

Contamination rate depends on the subsurface geology, groundwater flow direction, sources of the contaminants and some other stuffs.

Well, thanks for your statement.
In Lekki area, because it is "New", and in the low lying Lagos, 10m depth was enough to get clean water.
That was then O. Like 2000s, 2010's...
Now that people have started to build in close proximity and populate the area, yes that 10m borehole may not
be enough again.
I would say that this is even the more reason that Mr Govt that made that comment, should situp and
do a proper Water Works and Waste water plant for all the homes in that Lekki area
as there has never been any!.
There's only so much that "Local Man" can do.
Govt should do it's part.

Hamachi:
True, a borehole is better than fetching from the stream — but not all boreholes are created equal.

A shallow borehole, around 10 metres deep, might be cheaper and easier to dig, but it’s also more vulnerable to pollution. Especially in densely populated areas or places with poor sanitation systems, that water can easily get contaminated by soakaways, surface runoff, or even nearby waste dumps. That’s how cholera and typhoid sneak into people’s lives without warning.

A deeper borehole — say, 30 metres or more — taps into a more protected aquifer. It costs more to drill, but it’s usually cleaner, safer, and more reliable long-term. But here’s the kicker: many households can’t afford to go that deep, especially when the cost can run into hundreds of thousands or even millions depending on the soil type.

And yet — water is a basic need.

So imagine a country where even access to clean water is a DIY project, and one that still carries risk depending on how deep your pocket is.

That’s why the conversation has to go beyond "drill a borehole and move on." We need stronger public infrastructure and urban planning. Because safe water shouldn't be a privilege — it should be a right.

You are very correct.
Reading the article, I sincerely wanted to go and slap the man.
It's govt duty to dig boreholes and pipe water to people's homes.
Since people began moving to that Lekki area, there has been NO SINGLE public water works there.
Everybody has had to do EVERYTHING for themselves,
and some idiot opens mouth to make complain about our own borehole again.
-
We used to live in Ikoyi. The water works is abandoned. No more water coming out of there. All the pipes have rusted.
We last got water there some time 2004. Red RUST water at 2am in the night with ZERO pressure.
Lekki NEVER had any water works.

Depends how deep the borehole is.
Shallow (10m deep) has a chance of pollution and germs.
Deeper, (30m) not so likely.

I'm not familiar with any one.
It's only when they start tapping syringe like this to add extra wickedness inside the injection.
That's the only thing I understand inside hospital.

Successsearch90:
Why would they attack the police? It shows they must have been so frustrated

Since 1914 till today 2025, 111yrs of Nigeria as a nation,
is it today you are just discovering that Nigerians are frustrated?

omoredia:
Doesn't change the fact that a deplorable situation is still deplorable either u accept it or not.

Normal outside road is deplorable.
Intentional Airport is deplorable.
Police pension is deplorable.
Federal universities hostel is deplorable.
-
All the normal places and things are already deplorable.
Prison is just has to collect x 2 deplorable.
It's a normal thing.

bayelsaowei:
As much as possible avoid committing a crime in nigeria.. be law abiding and stay away from trouble.. our correctional facilities are hell on earth.

Raster hair is a crime.
Carry laptop. Waka for road is a crime.

Billionaires dem....
Ordinary 500k man run go kpai himself

Come and give me the ordinary N500k.
Is just a small something...

PulaPower:
Teacher no dey drive car for Nigeria? Dem no dey est food, Pah transport?

Is it not Nigerian teachers still earning N50,000 in 2025?
Make I hear word, abeg.
Because you know one teacher in Banana Island, you now think all teachers are like that?

PulaPower:
Unfortunately, it’s like that everywhere..

Have you seen any teacher wey dey receive 300,000pounds weekly for UK & Europe? But football players does..

Well, in foreign countries. they have labour movements and pay livable wages.
So even though teachers may not be millionaires over there, they can sha, drive car,
wear shoe, look good, eat food, pay transport, pay rent.
-
They can live like ordinary human beings without begging.

People don't seem to understand what stupidity is all about.
Somebody that is stupid is stupid for a reason.
And they're too stupid to stop being more stupid.
That's why they are stupid.

BeginsAtHome:
Prof Isah Pantami really screwed the entire process.

I mean, what is all these

That's professor for you.
Good in theory.
Failed in practicals.

MarkNsukkaBread:
The wife should go and learn new styles in the bedroom

Abi?
It's very simple.
There's no reason the man will run outside the house if his wife is doing well inside the house.

Rokiat:
This is why men have been running circles around women for centuries.
Why not attack the man that took the vows with you?
Very stupid.

There's nothing to attack anybody about.
1. The side chick is not at fault. She's fine and she's available for the husband.
2. The husband is not satisfied with Mrs wife, because Mrs wife has failed.
- she will give 10,000 reasons why she cannot meet up with husband's expectations.
- non of her reasons are valid.
-
Mrs Wife should just pack and leave or divorce. Forget about fighting any foolish fight.

This image is still depicting FAT people, even the guy sleeping on the road is FAT.
Oyibo AI has not yet understood that everybody in the picture is supposed to be THIN and hungry looking.

The time Naira had value, when people need to do this readily, it was made impossible.
It is now that Naira has lost its value that you're making this possible.

columbus007:
I am shocked to see someone who's worried about what people really think about him, a d he's here on Nairaland 😅, abeg grow thick skin jare. 🤣.

The OP is a just a phone addict. And that's his problem.
He doesn't s have work and is not doing anything productive. Just sitting down inside room and be worrying from morning to night.

Christianoir:
I see people saying you shouldn’t care about what people say but I’ve been trying it not working because people might say bad thing about me and I will start thinking about it for days

How do I get that I don’t care attitude
I know inot possible not to care but at least I don’t want people opinions to weigh we down

How do you guys do it
Please suggest guys
It weighing me down

Seems even you have a low opinion about yourself.
You have changed this by doing things.
Get productive.
Throw this phone away and get busy with work.

No 1
All of you go to bed early.
9:00 all lights OFF, all phones OFF.
-
Then you can have enough sleep.
And wake early, 5am , refreshed.
-
Minus this approach, you will keep waking late and shouting at each other..

Yeye boy?
But in his Yeye-ness, he is making serious cash
more than all the graduates on NL.

JS1 - Juniour Secondary 1
SS1 - Seniour Secondary 1

JS1 NO JSSSSSSS1.

Nigeria has been a force country since its inception.
FORCE of British to colonise Nigeria
FORCE of military (33 yrs) to rule Nigeria
and now
FORCE of Agbero/thief president to rule.
-
Book people/ Educated people just sit back and shout on internet.
Imagine if there was no internet, they will just stay at home and be vexing.
The few that have power, enter aeroplane and run out.

What about MTN 5G router?

adeniyi65:
The only subject he had c in it, he couldn't defend it when he tried to read out money in digits. I spit

BUT he is the governor
and you are not.
-
I don tire for Nigeria matter.
Educated people are too FRIGHTENED to stand out and do anything.
Then they complain when OLODO takes over power and f*** them up.

fuckingAyaya:
Someone that failed government is now a governor? 😄😄😄 if that's the case then what's the need of going to school? I blame Oshiomole though

And that is why Nigerian universities continue to get uselesser and uselesser.
ASUU will kill their self with strike from January to December and nothing will happen.
Olodo Governor has found how to grab power and hold on to it.
That means all the First Class people are just useless and cannot change any situation in their lives or country.

Omo things have changed in Nigeria,use to buy this biscuits for #5 naira but it looks like it has gone into extinction.i remember pressing that pepper snack till it becomes soft then I'll add little water into it and turn it together then begins to eat it 😂


Once upon a country!

Biscuits are manufactured items.
You use cheap electricity or cheap diesel to run generators that power various
food processing and packaging equipment inside industries. That is how goods
are produced.
When you f**up the electricity, and increase diesel prices astronomically, it is no longer
economical to keepon producing such items.
Nigeria has KILLED OFF all manufacturing industries.
So no biscuit again

Who is she and why is her presence drawing attention with Adekunle Gold

She is a pornography pornographer expert of the highest order.

HIP for the Hip for the Hippopo
POPO for the Hippopo
and
TAMUS for the HIPPOPOTAMUS

madridguy:
No be today Mushin/Ojuelegba for bet, na since the era of baba ijebu dey take that glory

Munshin, Ojuelegba are old industrial areas with many local manufacturers.
But since Nigeria believes more in importation, rather than supporting local manufactured goods, then those guys have become jobless and resorted to gambling to make ends meet.

Next time use defecate...it's more reader friendly.

Defecate doesn't make the matter any better
In 2025, Nigerian humans are still defecating openly on the roads?
This image is a 1962 cartoon called The Jetsons
1962 ... 63 years ago... Where they envisioned fantastic technological advancements, flying cars, flying house, robots...etc.
And here we are very well into the Future ahead of them, shitting openly in public?
We still cannot contain human waste within functional plumbing systems.
What a horrible disgrace.
