Fellow nairalander please,
Celebrate God with me
My cousin who's been jailed for a crime he didn't commit since 7years now have just been Released
I'm so happy

Dear ladies,
If you must have s*x this period make sure he washes his hands, takes his bath and uses protection Covid_19):
Note: (this post does not in any way encourage immorality maka ndi over sabi)

As crazy as this might sound it is still very sensitive to talk about especially at this critical time that we re faced with Covid_19 pandemic
So I was having a cool chat with one very good female friend who happens to be very vocal and blunt whenever she wants to make an expression (a lot of ladies lack that) and I really admire your courage miss�
Unfortunately this time it came out on the wrong ;
According to her she has a boyfriend (note:not husband ooh) who lives in a different part of lagos quite far from hers(una know as lagos dey be na) so this relationship has been a progressive one as they love each other very well and bla bla..... As we all know from the lockdown it isn't that easy to find your way across some places as it used to na, and for this reason the relationship has been kinda affected and all that
So oga decided to find his way to meet the love of his life despite the stress, yes they were very happy to see each other again after two weeks not being together �
But you see something happened....... When it was time to play mummy and daddy play ��this auntie refused ooh, asin the babe ekwechiri ooh, oga wasn't taking this he came with the normal lamentations and confrontation mechanism (iyalaya) as a normal guy na when our ego has just been bruised ��� unexpectedly
Though it's funny, I now asked... Babe why na shebi una don dey date since?
Guess..... This girl was just trying to keep herself safe, I became curious to really understand her point only then did I realise it wasn't about trust or anything infidelity
BUT about Covid_19
Chineke meh... How do you mean I asked:
Look fortune, I have been in this house all by myself since two weeks I never go outside because I don't want to contact this virus, I can't make all this sacrifices only to ruin it on the alter of 5mins pleasure because I want to satisfy uncle
Hian.... So what exactly was your reason?
She continued... You know it's a culture for you guys to be shaking hands with fellow guys whether you know them or not and with what is happening in lagos now nobody knows who's positive, I know leaving his house at V. I down to this place he must ve shook not less 20 people na
Omo na for here weh me I Confuse��
Babe gallantly told me that she can't allow any guy have s*x with her now without any protection especially here in lagos, fortune u know u now as a guy, imagine u just came out from ur house and u meet one or two guys on the streets, u will have shake and do the normal thing u guys do right? (yes)
Now what if ur pressed and you want to go and pee... Shebi na that same hand u go use bring out ur gbola abiii?now him go come Carry the same gbola that's probably infected wan come do without wearing anything ��
This one mad ooh��
So she succeeded in Convincing me that guys are more vulnerable now than the ladies and she couldn't have allowed herself to be infected by an innocent carrier no matter how much she loved him..... Unfortunately dude got it the wrong way and left but sister was right
Guys it's not just about washing your hands after handshake, since u can't sanitize ur gbola abeg atleast take a bath and don't get hands close to ur National Assembly without washing ur hands no matter how the piss take hold you ooh���
And you ladies... Use your head make sure he uses protection if u guys must do
Mehn.... Some people are just too smart

It's been fun��

The World Health Organization (WHO) has upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to "very high" - its top level of risk assessment.
But the UN body said there was still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission were broken.
WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also stressed that fear and misinformation were the biggest challenges to overcome.
More than 50 countries have now reported cases of coronavirus.
And sources within Iran's healthcare system told BBC Persian that, as of Thursday evening, at least 210 people had died from the virus. This is more than six times higher than the official government figure.
At a press conference in Geneva, Dr Tedros said that most cases could still be traced, and there was no evidence of the virus "spreading freely in communities".
Coronavirus: A visual guide to the outbreak
Coronavirus: How worried should we be?
His colleague, Dr Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's Emergency Health Programme, said that the risk level was intended to serve as a "reality check" for governments, since healthcare systems were still unprepared.
"You have a duty to your citizens, you have a duty to the world to be ready," said Dr Ryan.
What are the latest developments?
Globally, more than 80,000 people have been infected. About 2,800 have died - the vast majority in China's Hubei province. China confirmed another 327 cases - the lowest daily increase for a month - along with 44 deaths
Switzerland suspended all events with more than 1,000 participants until 15 March, including the Geneva International Motor Show
Iceland, Nigeria, Mexico, New Zealand, Belarus and the Netherlands all reported their first cases
The first British death from Covid-19 was announced - a passenger on the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked in Japan
Fear about the virus has continued to hit global markets. Shares have shed almost 13% of their value this week on London's FTSE, wiping £210bn ($267bn) from the value of companies on the index
What else did the WHO say?
Dr Ryan also stressed that current data information does not suggest the virus has become a global pandemic.
"If we say there's a pandemic of coronavirus, we're essentially accepting that every human on the planet will be exposed," he said. "The data does not support that as yet and China has clearly shown that that's not necessarily the natural outcome of this event if we take action."
Dr Tedros reiterated that the spread had the potential to become a pandemic, but cautioned against unnecessary panic.
"Our greatest enemy right now is not the virus itself, it's fear, rumours and stigma," he said.
The WHO has said proper containment, with the help of an "all government, all society approach" will help slow down rates of infection, break chains of infection and take pressure off healthcare systems around the world.
What should I do to minimise the risk?
Public health advice is to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when you cough or sneeze, throw away tissues immediately after use and wash your hands frequently.
It is also advised to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unclean hands and avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

Coolcalmcollect:
he deserved it, spending money for gf birthday party, I'm glad he's has finally have sense.

But why are women like this?

uthlaw:
Forget story,no love for anywhere....just Bleep and move on is the name of ladies of this generation!

Exactly bro

I think it's time I talk about this narrative "main chick and side chick"
This is actually for guys..... Who's exactly the main chick and who's the side chick?
It's a very funny but true fact that I want to establish on this post or rather what I call an unpopular opinion
First of all as a guy you should be happy and thank God everyday for making you a man(trust me you don't know what you just escaped) call me a patriarch duhh!!
I like to refer you guys to one old Timaya song with 2face(its about that time) nigger made alot of sense in that song that it took me years to actually understand it�
So I was at a friend's birthday party yesterday, the frenzy was high, spirit was mad and everybody was already feeling wasted as we all waited for the celebrant to show up with his "Main chic so we can cut the cake make everybody dey go house" dude had a lot of expectations on this girl but she never showed up, probably somewhere catching groove with one oga like that and my guy dey here dey wait.... All of a sudden the only person that came to his rescue was a supposedly side chick, babe weh u no take serious �she had to fill in the gap as auntie main chick don on movie for my guy.. We ve all had one of two experiences in this regard and this confirmed my conviction
I had to actually grab the mic and let everybody know exactly how foolish it is for us to actually be creating what I call emotional boundaries,, investing alot of energy, time, loyalty, everything with a lot of expectations on people that doesn't even worth it all in the name of LOVE
So the truth is this, so long as there is no real marital commitment as it's supposed To "baba that babe no be ur own, and auntie that guyman isn't yours baba just have to do what he has to do , we re all just acting and fooling ourselves
What I'm I tryna say?
Simple...... Love Is real no doubt but if u think u love her that much go ahead and settle down with her or him, there's no main or side chick they re all doing the same thing for us, and that's how the circle goes, don't think u have her cos of the present pleasure and the magic of the moment , it's just ur turn to pilot the ship until the final consumer will arrive and cart the ship away and all man go disembark ��.. I could imagine the disappointment in his face when he got that call "baby I can't come out I'm cooking beans for my uncle"
So am not encouraging flirtation or fuckery cos if u carry disease na u sabi but my advice is, live ur life, keep as many friends as possible, identity everyone's role in ur life and make sure u are true to urself, know what you want and ... Whoever u feel is the one that beats ur heart go for her and do the right thing, stop creating emotional boundaries because at the end it may not worth it, and for the ladies y'all are too fragile and always at the receiving end, yet you claim to be the ones having all the fun but it's lies cos who got f**cked Can never be unf*cked, so be careful how you play cos at the end the men might actually have nothing to loose, time have taught me alot and I will conclude by saying this according to Timaya "we re all just acting but Jehova In Heaven is the One directing"
Use ur head
No go do pass yourself
Eeerrrmm!!! no worry I'll make sure she doesn't see this post����cos na real gbege for me���

You made a reasonable point... Thanks

Goodevening friends,
Please I need an advice regarding this situation... I have had this job with my state civil service since may last year and they haven't paid us and things have been quite tough with me ever since , but recently the governor issued a clearance for us to be paid as confirmed by sources at the civil service commission in my state (though we are still skeptical)
But just last week a friend of mine who works at a construction company in my state(I'm a civil engineer) helped me secure a job as a weigh bridge operator in the company, the company absorbed me and put me under training as I serve the same office with my friend... The idea is that if am perfect they might actually transfer me to another site maybe outside my state., the job is very demanding and entails that I will be on site all the time and this doesn't give me the time to do my normal daily biometric attendance at the council... Yet company pays almost the same amount with the civil service job but job security is not assured, 'm kinda confused on which one to go for and I don't want to make mistakes
I need a professional advice from wise minds on here please, as this is critical to my future
Which one should I go for?

The UK formally leaves the European Union (EU) at 23:00 on Friday, 31 January. But it will immediately enter an 11-month transition period.
During the transition the UK will continue to obey EU rules and pay money to the EU. Most things will stay the same but there will be some changes:
1. UK MEPs lose their seats
Image caption
The Brexit Party won the most UK seats in the May 2019 European elections
Familiar faces such as Nigel Farage and Ann Widdecombe are among the UK's 73 MEPs who will automatically lose their seats in the European Parliament.
That's because, at the moment of Brexit, the UK will leave all of the EU's political institutions and agencies.
However, in addition to the UK following EU rules during the transition period, the European Court of Justice will continue to have the final say over legal disputes.
2. No more EU summits
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have to be specially invited if he wants to join other leaders at EU Council summits in the future.
British ministers will also no longer attend regular EU meetings that decide things such as fishing limits.
3. We will be hearing a lot about trade
The UK will be able to start talking to countries around the world about setting new rules for buying and selling goods and services.
It has not been allowed to hold formal trade negotiations with countries like the US and Australia while it remained an EU member. Brexit supporters argue that having the freedom to set its own trade policy will boost the UK's economy.
There's also a lot to be discussed with the EU. Agreeing a UK-EU trade deal is a top priority, so extra charges on goods and other trade barriers aren't needed when the transition ends.
If any trade deals are reached, they won't be able to start until the transition period ends.
Brexit: What is a level playing field?
4. The UK's passports will change colour
Image caption
Blue passports were replaced in 1988 with the burgundy design
Blue passports will be making a return, more than 30 years after they were replaced by the current burgundy design.
Announcing the change in 2017, then Immigration Minister, Brandon Lewis, praised the return to the "iconic" blue-and-gold design, first used in 1921.
The new colour will be phased in over a number of months, with all new passports issued in blue by the middle of the year.
Existing burgundy passports will continue to be valid.
5. Brexit coins
Image caption
The coins had to be re-made after Brexit was delayed
About three million commemorative 50p Brexit coins bearing the date "31 January" and the inscription: "Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations", will enter circulation on Friday.
The coin has received a mixed reaction, with some Remain supporters saying they will refuse to accept it.
The government had planned to introduce a similar coin on 31 October, the date Brexit was previously meant to happen.
However, those coins had to be melted down and recycled after the deadline was extended.
6. The UK's Brexit department shuts down
The team that handled the UK-EU negotiations and no-deal preparations will disband on Brexit day.
The Department for Exiting the European Union was set up by former Prime Minister Theresa May in 2016.
For the upcoming talks, the UK's negotiating team will be based in Downing Street.
7. Germany won't extradite its citizens to the UK
It won't be possible for some suspected criminals to be brought back to the UK if they flee to Germany.
Germany's constitution does not allow its citizens to be extradited, unless it's to another EU country.
"This exception cannot apply anymore after the UK has left EU," a spokesman from the German Federal Ministry of Justice told BBC News.
It's unclear if the same restrictions will apply to other countries. Slovenia, for example, says the situation is complicated, while the European Commission was unable to provide comment.
The UK Home Office says the European Arrest Warrant will continue to apply during the transition period. (That means Germany will be able to extradite non-German citizens.)
However, it adds that if a country's laws prevent extradition to the UK it "will be expected to take over the trial or sentence of the person concerned".
A really simple guide to Brexit
What is the transition period?
Seven things that will stay the same...
Because the transition period begins immediately after Brexit, the vast majority of other things remain the same - at least until 31 December 2020 including:
1. Travel
Image caption
UK nationals will still be treated the same as EU nationals during the transition
Flights, boats and trains will operate as usual.
When it comes to passport control, during the transition period, UK nationals will still be allowed to queue in the areas reserved for EU arrivals only.
2. Driving licences and pet passports
As long as they are valid, these will continue to be accepted.
Driving after Brexit: What you need to know
3. European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
Image caption
EHICs will still be valid during the transition
These are the cards that provide UK nationals with state-provided medical treatment in case of illness or accident.
They can be used in any EU country (as well as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) and will continue to be valid during the transition period.
Will the EHIC still be valid after Brexit?
4. Living and working in the EU
Freedom of movement will continue to apply during the transition, so UK nationals will still be able to live and work in the EU as they currently do.
The same applies for EU nationals wanting to live and work in the UK.
5. Pensions
UK nationals living in the EU will continue to receive their state pension and will also receive the annual increase.
How will Brexit affect UK pensioners in Europe?
6. Budget contributions
The UK will continue to pay into the EU budget during the transition. This means existing schemes, paid for by EU grants, will continue to be funded.
7. Trade
UK-EU trade will continue without any extra charges or checks being introduced.

Deep-sea drones and an intercontinental ballistic missile were among the advanced weapons on public display for the first time at a parade marking 70 years of communist rule in China.
According to the Ministry of National Defence, about 15,000 military personnel, 580 pieces of military equipment and 160 aircraft featured.
Military march-pasts on a grand scale have a long history in the country.
But experts say this year's display showed China's ambitions to modernise.
"It was Russian and Ukrainian equipment at these parades 20 years ago - now everything is made in China," Jon Grevatt of Jane's Defence Weekly told the BBC.
"The technological advancement that China has achieved is almost unprecedented."

China brings out the big guns for birthday
Warfare has become increasingly information-driven in recent years - about networks rather than just systems.
This is reflected in the variety of unmanned systems on display in Tuesday's parade in Beijing, says BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Marcus, "in many ways the 'poster weapon' of new-age warfare".

For China, experts say today's parade is also a show of strength to the US.
"We have to remember that China's claims to territory are driving this - and many of these places happen to be claimed by US allies like Japan, and nations in the South China Sea," says Mr Grevatt.
At its heart is a strategy known as known as "anti-access area denial".
Our correspondent says it is exemplified by the DF-26 ballistic missile which, fired from land bases, is believed to have the accuracy to strike at the key element of US power projection, the US Navy's aircraft carriers.
This latest parade also saw the first public display of a newer model - the DF-41 road mobile intercontinental ballistic missile - which Chinese analysts say is able to target any part of the globe.

US Democrats have opened a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump in the wake of new revelations about the president's contacts with Ukraine from an internal whistleblower.
We've answered a sample of your questions on the situation, and added two of our own (marked *).
Will the impeachment be solely on this issue or is it likely to be a portfolio of 'crimes'?
Six House committees are currently investigating the president and gathering evidence related to any impeachable offences.
The Judiciary Committee will eventually decide which - and how many - articles of impeachment votes they will pose to the entire House.
But Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats have reportedly agreed to keep the focus on the Ukraine allegations.
Wait, what's this Trump Ukraine story about?
Can the House impeach but it then not proceed to the Senate?
In a word, unlikely.
Removing a US president from office is a two-stage process. The House begins impeachment proceedings - in effect, laying out the charges - but the Senate holds the trial.
When the House votes on articles of impeachment, anything less than a simple majority means it fails.
If there is a majority, the president is impeached and then the process moves to the Senate for a trial, where a select group of House members present the case for removal, the president's lawyers offer their defence and senators sit as a de facto jury.
It would take two-thirds of the Senate voting to convict Trump for him to be removed from office.
In theory, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could play hardball and refuse to schedule the vote or delay it, in the same way he sat on the Supreme Court vacancy for nearly a year until after the 2016 election.
The relevant passage in the US constitution states that the Senate "shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments". It says nothing about timelines or even that a trial is mandatory. That could give Mr McConnell, who has shown a willingness to make controversial decisions to achieve political ends, some wiggle room.
While such a move may be unlikely, in today's US political environment, nothing is unimaginable.
Why Pelosi made her move - and what happens next?
Impeachment is unlikely. What do House Democrats have to gain in this situation?
There was a considerably amount of internal debate among Democrats prior to this week over whether impeachment would be a winning issue for them politically. Some, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, worried that an impeachment drive would rally the Republican base and frustrate moderates who want Congress to focus on policy issues.
Impeachment proponents countered that the purpose of a formal impeachment inquiry is to shift public opinion - and that while the public may not be on board now, they could be convinced once the evidence is gathered and presented in a compelling way.
What's more, there are many Democrats who view impeachment as a moral duty. In their view, the president has broken the law and violated his presidential oath. To not make an attempt to remove him from office would be giving tacit approval to his actions and encourage even more transgressions.
Can Trump face legal action and jail time if the allegations are proven?
Any fines or jail time "for crimes committed while in office are left to civil courts", according to the House of Representatives.
So the answer is yes, he could, but an impeachment conviction from Congress does not mean a conviction in the criminal sense.
The president still has several other legal troubles relating to his presidency, family and businesses making their way through the courts.
Eight legal headaches for Donald Trump
If Trump is removed, but Pence is also implicated, what happens then?
The line of succession for the US government - as established by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 - if the president and vice-president are removed is:
Speaker of the House (Nancy Pelosi)
President Pro Tempore, the second-highest ranking official in the Senate (Chuck Grassley)
Secretary of State (Mike Pompeo)
Secretary of the Treasury (Steve Mnuchin)
Is what Trump did with Ukraine any different from what Democrats did there? *
During his UN press conference on Wednesday, Donald Trump alleged that Chris Murphy and other Senate Democrats who had contact with Ukrainian officials were the ones who were engaging in nefarious acts.
The president said that a 2018 letter from Senators Robert Menendez, Richard Durbin and Patrick Leahy and a September 2019 visit by Mr Murphy all included threats to cut off aid to the nation and demands that the Ukrainian government not co-operate with the Trump administration.
Read the 2018 letter
That 2018 letter to then-prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko expressed "concern" that the Ukrainian government was no longer co-operating with Robert Mueller's Russia meddling inquiry and backing off its own investigation into former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who had significant dealings with the nation. The senators asked for more information, but the letter did not threaten the termination of US aid.
Mr Murphy says during his recent visit to Ukraine he told Mr Zelensky that he should not "take orders from Trump's campaign" or interfere in the 2020 election - and that the Ukrainian president expressed discomfort with the requests he was receiving from the Trump administration.
Is that different from what Mr Trump did? Only Mr Trump's requests for a "favour" were accompanied by action - the suspension of US aid.
What exactly did Biden and his son do?
Mr Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani have accused Joe Biden of trying to force out Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016, while Joe Biden was US vice-president.
Mr Shokin was looking into a Ukrainian gas company where Biden's son, Hunter, was a board member.
The president alleged Mr Biden withheld US aid to Ukraine to protect his son and the company, Burisma.
But no evidence has come to light showing Biden acted corruptly or was influenced by his son's work in Ukraine.
Biden was also not the only public official in the US or European Union who wanted Mr Shokin ousted.
However, critics believe at the very least the Biden family's ties to Ukraine raise the perception of a possible conflict of interest.
How many phone conversations were there?
The 30-minute call on 25 July was the first publicly acknowledged call between the US and Ukrainian leaders following a 21 April congratulatory call when Zelensky won the presidency.
What Trump's Ukraine phone call really means
Who gets to listen to the president's phone calls to know what was said?
US media report that several officials at the White House are usually present to listen into presidential calls.
These individuals may not be physically in the room with the president, but they are listening in and taking notes.
The White House chief of staff, defence and state department staff and national security council members are among those who may be listening in to any calls with foreign leaders.
There are also nonpartisan career staff with national security experience present to monitor the Situation Room.
The dos and don'ts of the Situation Room
In this case, the whistleblower's complaint noted that there were "approximately a dozen White House officials who listened to the call - a mixture of policy officials and duty officers in the White House Situation Room, as is customary", though it is unclear whether anyone was actually in the room with Mr Trump.
Can the White House withhold such transcripts?
Executive privilege - a power not explicitly named in the Constitution but supported by the Supreme Court - allows the president to keep information from the public, courts, and Congress when it comes to national security or diplomacy.
When it comes to the Ukraine transcript, the whistleblower's complaint states it was placed into a National Security Council computer system typically used only for sensitive intelligence information - which some officials were concerned might be an abuse of the system.
It was also apparently "not the first time" this administration had done this with a president's transcript, the complaint states, "for the purpose of protecting politically sensitive - rather than national security sensitive - information".
Did the White House try to cover up details of Trump's Zelensky call? *
One of the new revelations in whistleblower complaint were allegations that, after Mr Trump's conversation with Mr Zelensky, the White House took steps to conceal - "lock down" - the records of the phone call.
This included removing the rough transcript from the computer system where such information is usually kept and place it in a different, more closely controlled location.
Democrats also point to the administration's reluctance to turn over the whistleblower complaint itself to Congress as evidence that Trump officials knew they were dealing with politically damaging, possibly criminal, material.
The Trump administration has had to contend with embarrassing leaks about the president's communications with foreign leaders since its earliest days, so any move for greater security of call readouts could also be a reflection of the administration's fear of unauthorised disclosure and not a unique action in just this case.
Let's see what happens
