Why didn't you bring the news here then since it happened months ago?

Most of us are just hearing it now and it's a news to us abeg.....

News is news no matter the time you hear it first......

FatimaAbubakar:
This thing happened months ago. I wonder why na now the news reach here

Aaaaaaaaah, this is great..... All the military head of states refused to do it, since democratically elected president dispensation, they all refused to do despite pleading and campaigning that it would enhance bigger vessels in coming to Calabar and thereby lessen traffic in Lagos and Rivers ports....This is great..but I wouldn't thank anybody because it's the right thing to do if you are willing as a President to turn the economy of your country around......it's the duty of a right thinking leadership to do....I need and demand more of development.......it's our money, use it right to give us a good standard of living... I no go thank anybody for doing their duty ...

But why are some funny people saying the abducted people are looking fresh? If that's the definition of freshness in your family. May you and your family be kidnapped and kept in a forest for just 30days......

Can't you see or are you blind not to have seen how emaciated these people are? Can't you see these children sunken eyes and collar bones showing like someone suffering from kwashiorkor.... God would never forgive you all the haters claiming these kidnapping was a set up.....

Don't mind him. A man that is corruption personified while being Vice President under OBJ. Someone OBJ publicly called a thief and warned that people shouldn't do anything with him.

If it's just Jucial council and NBA alone he mentioned, I wouldn't negate his input but bringing opposition parties into the issue for the Presidency to employ them to investigate the Presidency? That one loud too much.... beside, is it only ADC and NRC we have as parties in Nigeria. How about other numerous parties? Can't he request for them to be included.... Trouble dey this country o.....people awaiting to steal, standing in the queue for years and eager to get elected and steal are more than those already in office stealing,etc....

Dreal1247:
Atiku should not speak against corruption so that his hands don't get soiled. He that comes to equity must come with clean hands.

There's something nobody is looking at. He was arrested by Femi Mila's petition that he's flaunting a fake agency. Police arrested him and kept him in their custody for 23 days and that period, the faked agency budget was processed and included in the national budget after getting clearance from the Chief Of staff to the President who is Femi Mila. Femi Mila must have passed the faked agency budget package to Tinubu, the President to go through and endorse for the budget to be included in the national budget of the country.

Now, the question is, let's imagine that the agency is a fake agency and that there's a discovery by Femi Mila that it's a fake agency and he quickly wrote petition to the police to arrest the suspect. Then police kept him in custody pending when investigation is completed. Did police finalize their investigation and found him innocent for them to have released him or someone instructed them to release him. Another question is, did Femi Mila went through the national budget package and vet it with all the established and existing MDAs etc under the Head Of Service before handing over to the President for the presentation to the National Assembly. I feel, even if Femi Mila is innocent, or Tinubu knows nothing about it, they are culprits. Someone can be an innocent culprits to a crime in the aspect that you overlooked important things and enabled criminals to take advantage of your carelessness. The President and the Chief Of Staff aren't dependable, they aren't trustworthy and not fit to be in the Presidency. In a sane clime, the National Assembly should be arranging the impeachment of the President by now......He's unfit to be called a President of Nigeria. If you look at this occurrence, there's possibility that something more sinister is happening right now than what we know presently. The leadership of the country is a total disappointment.....

Lamasta:
Budget was prepared and approved while DG is in prison and nobody in the ministry is aware, may Nigeria not happen to you

He said he's looking for his spec! That's so hilarious when several specs full ground and many of them with container load of trouble... 😂 😂 😂.... probably his spec is yet to be born....He would definitely wait for centuries..
.

Babatunjo:
Which spec are you waiting for?

Beauty fades. Personalities change. If she's of good character and can build a home with you, don't let endless "specs" keep you single.

Some funny money miss road Nigerians go donate money to her....I am telling you guys.... Some Nigerians aren't sensible at all....

See wetin we dey talk yesterday. Lie, lie...now she dey beg for money....go meet mama Alakara, she go take you go meet baba alagbado to give you money....den dey Abuja..

No mind her. Let her still be saying I didn't knew up and down. Not only that her English has K-Leg, her Life too has gotten triple K-Leg........

Cigar and igbo don Yamutu Seun's life finish......just imagine a young man of about 40 to early 50 or so and already wearing the figure of 70 something years old man. Even the shadow punch wey him dey throw dey make am loose balance.... anyway, I believe say na play him dey play and no be say him dey prepare to fight anyone......

The feud between VDM and Seun Kuti may likely end in the ring to prove their power as Seun is already practicing ahead of time.

Great write up. The absolute truth for a well structured and determined living.

Dpsychologist:
One of the biggest shocks of adulthood is discovering that your parents were making sacrifices you never noticed.

When I was growing up, I thought my family was comfortable because I never lacked food, school fees, clothing or pocket money. It was only after I became responsible for my own bills that I realized how much effort it took to provide those things. That realization changed how I viewed money. It forced me to become intentional about building my life instead of simply enjoying it.

Many young people, both men and women, do not fully understand their financial reality because someone else is still carrying their responsibilities. Parents, relatives, partners or even friends often cushion the true cost of life. It is easy to develop expensive tastes when you are not paying the bills yourself.

This is why financial self awareness is so important before entering a serious relationship or marriage.

For men especially, there is another lesson worth learning. Society often pressures men to marry immediately after they make their first significant income. A young man struggles for years, finally saves a few million naira, then feels compelled to spend a huge portion of it on a wedding instead of investing in assets or expanding his business.

That first breakthrough is often your seed capital. It should be treated carefully because it can determine whether you remain financially stable or return to where you started.

Marriage is not just about love. It is also a lifelong financial partnership. If you are not emotionally, mentally and financially prepared, rushing into it because of pressure from family, friends or society can create unnecessary hardship for both partners.

The right partner should add value to your life, not become another financial burden. Likewise, you should also be someone who brings value into your partner's life. Healthy relationships are built on mutual commitment, shared responsibility, respect and a common vision for the future.

Before saying "I do," ask yourself a simple question.

Am I building a future, or am I responding to pressure?

The strongest marriages are rarely those that begin in haste. They are usually built by two people who understand responsibility, communicate honestly, support each other's growth and are committed to building something greater together.

Do not rush because others are getting married. Build your foundation first. A solid future is far more valuable than a hurried celebration.

Wetin Sowore do you bro? Your vexation no get part 2. Some of you Nigerians are funny people. You wouldn't push for good country and the few people pushing at the cost of their lives, using their own resources, you funny Nigerians will still be beefing them, hating them for no sensible reason. The full dose of suffering wey go soon pounce on you fully still dey do press up for your backyard........

Jakumo:
Sowore should just go ahead and declare war against EVERYBODY, given that he has no other job than shadow boxing.

By the way, can anyone explain the significance of his amusing haircut sporting the shaved sides and rooster protrusion on top?

For some reason, Sowore's head, disfigured with that idiotic hairstyle, has always reminded me of a toilet cleaning brush.

Looking forward to hearing from any hairstyle fashion pontificators in the house.

This is not supposed to be a news at all....what's 52k litres of diesel compare to trillions been stolen monthly by the government and their cohorts. Despite the fact stealing is stealing and no justification for stealing. The necessary agents should put focus on the bigger thieves that are stealing our future, our hopes and present from generation to generation......enough is enough....

Tinubu and Buhari jointly killed these people in cold blood.....

Tinubu boys handiworku.

Na today dey see say Naija dey bleed..Naija dey ICU tey tey with a quack doctor as CMD and still operating Naija with screw driver and cutlass......

iwaeda:
Nlfpmod, Nigeria is more than bleeding.

Their brain can't understand or even think towards those things you just mentioned. All they could think of Akara frying, Çorn roasting and kulikuli making. What an insult to Nigerians, this is see - finish....like husband like wife.....the other time, the husband said they should be feeding Nigerians Garri and Agbado ......omg! Let's make a revolution now now....

CodeTemplar:
In a country where we import usb cable, toothpick and cotton buds, if akara frying and corn roasting for my neighbour is all a first lady can think of, then we are neck deep in hot shit.

What happened to refining every drop of your crude oil. Processing every gram of you cocoa, coffee, sugarcane, raw seeds into finished products and exporting it to balance off the huge imports and possibly earn net forex inflow? Instead they borrow to increase reserves.

You all can see why they are building roads and flyovers like babylonian demons.

I was actually waiting for the end of your narration or is there still part 2?

What I know is that guys hardly list or take cosignance of how much they are spending on a broad they care so much for until the broad messed up or the guy just generally got delivered from mumuological syndrome of feminine. Tell me, is there part 2 or I should forget it??

AccidentedCars:
You will find love without money, but only when you're a boy. When you become a man, that grace is taken from you.

There's a level of affection you will NEVER experience, even from good women, if you can't afford a basic, livable income.

I am not even referring to sending money in its monetary form. I mean just the things that make life easier to go through.

My partner had a job interview in another city last year. Not a local thing – a real opportunity, the kind that could shift her career.

The interview was at 9 AM on a Monday.

She told me about it on Thursday evening.

By Friday morning, I had booked her a bus ticket for Sunday, reserved a decent hotel room near the venue so she wouldn't be scrambling on Monday morning, and sent her money for a new blouse because the one she planned to wear had a pulled thread she hadn't noticed.

She did her prep on Saturday. I sat on a video call with her for nearly 3 hours while she practiced her answers. Not because she asked – because I knew she was nervous and wouldn't say it.

Sunday evening she got to the city. She called me from the hotel room.

"Babe, it's clean. There's hot water. I feel like a human being."

That sentence hit me differently.

"I feel like a human being."

The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident.

She got the role.

This isn't a one-off. This is just what being present looks like when you can afford to be.

I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.

I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point.

I can't stand the heat. I physically cannot function when it's 35 degrees inside. So if I can't take it, how can I let her sit in it? That's fuel money. Every single day when there's no grid power. 5 to 7 litres. Daily. Especially when she's staying over.

We don't do "let's manage." We don't trek to places. It's always a cab or a keke at minimum.

That's not luxury. That's what I consider basic.

Add it up over a year:

Fuel for the generator. Transport every weekend. Groceries restocked every week. Subscriptions renewed every month. Random needs – a drug she needs at midnight, airtime when her line runs out during something important, data when she's on deadline.

That sums up to well over 2 million naira each year. And I'm not talking about MONEY sent as money. I am just referring to basic convenience.

The things that make a woman feel like she's with someone who has capacity. Not wealth. CAPACITY.

Your best bet as a young man is waiting until you're certain that love is ALREADY present before following through with generosity.

So yes, you can find love without money.

But there's a level of love you cannot preserve without financial stability, not because your partner is a bad girl, but simply because this is the fucking planet, and the nuances that make life beautiful, or at least livable, are expensive.

In summary, you'll find love without money as I did all through the years when I was a boy.

That grace is removed when you become a man.

That's the spirit, she don put you for the booth of her convertible as extra tyre, whenever street beat her up, she go run come for the auxiliary rod of comfort to cool her dry thirsty oven......I trust you, but now wey you know say na community service she be, dey wear raincoat, double bullet proof vest cos of Ebola infection wey dey catch men under the hood....

Even that money has always been collected backyard by their cronies acting as agents to help in scheduling timely interview dates ....3 years ago I had the personal experience which made me spend so much in scheduling a date urgently cos I was going over to see my family. I had to pay through my nose in getting a quick date for interview and the amount was more like this new official rate they are bringing. It has always been there but backyard and now converting it to official payment.....US government, you are swindler..... 😂 😂

So sad. It's because the US got frustrated while expecting judgement from Nigeria which never came. It's that frustration that led to US revealing and declaring the man's activities as someone among people sponsoring terror in Nigeria and other countries.....US only acted based on frustration from Nigeria......
