Basheer22:
Have you ever seen anyone from the South South insult Yorubas or call Lagos No Man's Land?

The position given to Sam Egube was formerly held by Ben Akabueze. Tinubu personally handed that portfolio to Ben and ensured he held it for almost a decade. In face, Tinubu gave him same portfolio at the federal level. Ben is a perfect Igbo gentleman but Igbos never cease insulting Tinubu and Yorubas.

In any case, if you didn't notice, all the benefits hitherto enjoyed by Igbos in Lagos are being given to those of SS origins. If you doubt me, ask around.

Basheer22:
Good
She went back to her state to contest. Best of luck.

A few years ago, she could have contested and won seats in Lagos. Igbos like Rita Orji and others got seats in Oshodi Isolo, Amuwo, Ajeromi, etc.
But then, Igbos mistook the magnanimity of Yorubas for foolishness. Igbos on Nairaland openly and foolishly denigrated Yorubas, calling them slaves because they voted for Igbos to occupy political offices and represent lagosians.
Yorubas kept quiet but as usual, Igbos were too dumb to notice. Yorubas collected all their seats back and now, Igbos are forced to go back to Igboland and contest elections.

Lesson: never bite the finger that feeds you.

Your headline is quarreling with your story. He is saying he or Tinubu will be the candidate not that they will run on one ticket.

Lol you don’t know these guys link Tinubu to everything and anything.

Even they once said Tinubu was the cause of unknown gunmen unrest in the SE and it’s one of their leaders that said that. The delusion is Omni-directional.

I wonder why successive governments in Nigeria have refused to create wealth from already existing natural resources we have. We have oil in abundance, why can't we create wealth by refining it? We have abundant gas reserve, why is there still scarcity of gas? We have gold, why do we still import gold at high price? Do we need to wait for foreigners to invest in our gas exploration before we start making money from it?

This Russia-Ukraine conflict should be a perfect avenue for Nigeria to earn a lot of FOREX by selling oil at higher price, but unfortunately, whatever we make will still be used in paying subsidy because we can't refining our oil. If we had invested in gas exploration, by now most EU members would have turned to Nigeria...

Hi everyone in the house. I just want to let you all know that we now have locally prepared anti Snake venom, as well as that of scorpion and other bite or attack by highly venomous creatures. It's available @ affordable prices and delivery available nationwide. Email me on : ogunfrayo@yahoo.com or WhatsApp me on : 08108458712.

ogunfrayo:
The herb is locally prepared, so not yet approved but it has been tested several times and it works 100% for all venoms i.e neurotoxic,cardiotoxic or combinations. I made them for family use in case of an emergency of such. This even works for someone that eats poison too.

christistruth01:
10 bitter kola eaten immediately is said to cure Snake bite by making the person urinate the poison within an hour

For the Scorpion also eat bitter kola


Or roast the Scorpion with Onions and eat both

That was what someone who was bitten by Scorpion before was told to do and it worked.

When I read the comments of some children who knows nothing about life not to talk of war here on nairaland, I laff in swahili...


NATO IS AVOIDING WAR WITH RUSSIA FOR YOUR SAKE.
NATO's decision to not close the sky over Ukraine is correct. A shooting war between Russia and NATO should be avoided as much as possible and the way the US has been evading that confrontation is simply the right thing to do.If you think it is cowardice, it is because you don't know and this post will brief you.
Let me set it out in a very brief way.
There are three types of wars:
1. Conventional war - which is fought according to the rules of war: Don't kill civilians and children, don't hit civilian infrastructure, don't shoot surrendering enemy soldiers and PoWs, etc.
2. Total war - which Russia seems to be fighting in Ukraine right now and which it fought against Chechnya in Grozny. In a total war, you just kill everybody you see and destroy everything on your way.
3. Nuclear war.
On a normal day, Russia will fall quickly of NATO engages it in a conventional or a total war and Putin has admitted that much in a speech recently. There is no contest in that. NATO's firepower is extensive and its generals are top level.
However, the mismatch will force Russia to quickly resort to 'final-solution' tactics while it can - it will launch its arsenal of nuclear weapons. Lets be quickly reminded that since the 1970s, both the West and Russia have thousands of nuclear tipped missiles already programmed to hit targets in all major cities on each other's soil. With just the press of a button, those missiles will fly out and head for their targets.
But there are difficulties. Both sides have watchmen that are not sleeping. Every inch of Russian territory is under a 24/7 scan for missile launch by the West, using flare and heat detection satellites. Russia has the same system.
The moment a rocket motor ignites (most missiles are powered by rocket motors. Cruise missiles use air-breathing jet engines - pretty much the same used by aeroplanes, but they could be ramjets or jets with afterburners. Cruise missiles are usually called precision guided weapons), they know in the West. These missile scouts will start to track the missile or missiles and note their number, velocity and heading. They have about 10 minutes to confirm and reconfirm that missiles are being launched against the West. In this case they will mostly be ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles). Well, despite the heavy name, they are actually simple orbital rockets that can get into orbit and then re-enter the earth at the appropriate location - above their targets. At this point, they will release their thermonuclear warheads or bombs (all modern nuclear bombs carry thermonuclear warheads, that is, warheads that uses a small hydrogen bomb to initiate a chain reaction in its main fission bomb of Plutonium or Uranium). These warheads are shaped like cones and they are about 1.2m in height with a base diameter of about 800mm. The real active ingredient, Uranium or Plutonium inside the conical device is not bigger than a football but they are packed with the horrendous power of creation itself, the power of the nucleus of an atom called the Strong Force.
Two things will then happen in line with strictly established procedures it call it Battle Order.
Once a missile attack is detected, the US will immediately move it's president, his family, Pentagon chiefs and a few citizens into a bunker that is about 2 kilometers below the ground and under a mountain. It is suspended upon springs so it can withstand tectonic forces from a nuclear blast on the surface. The bunker contains provisions for two years to sustain the occupants. (I have seen the image somewhere about 25 years ago in maybe Times Magazine). Reporters taken there were blindfolded and flown for hours so they will not have a clear sense of direction. The location is totally secret but it is suspected that it is Nevada. It was not dug out directly but a lateral tunnel was created several miles away to this subterranean site.
1. The West will launch countermeasures at these warheads. (Usually, they will be 13 to 17 on each ICBM and at this stage, they are in their terminal altitude in space). This is the threat level the American THAAD anti-missile system is designed to contain. It will fly into space and try to steer kill vehicles into those warheads and of course, the success rate will understandably only be partial. Some will end up successfully re-entering the earth and dive (under zero power) for their targets. At this point, the Patriot system will come into action and try to swat the warheads. The Patriot complex deals with missiles within the atmosphere.
2. Simultaneously NATO will give orders for its own missile launches and within minutes, you will see missiles rise from silos and from submarines heading East to attack preset targets. B-52s ('Stratofortress'), B1, ('Spirit') and B2 ('Bones') -all long range bombers will take off from the US, Germany and probably Japan armed with hydrogen and Plutonium bombs and head for Russia. There are also about 1,500 nuclear weapons on each side that are currently in the field, mingled with conventional weapons but known to commanders. Those are probably the most dangerous of all these arsenal of nuclear weapons because they are already and permanently dispersed in the field. All - everything will be launched within just about 30 minutes in this make or break final combat.
Everything described above from the moment one side launches its nuclear weapons will not take more than 45 to 60 minutes and it is all over. If the attack takes place at night, right here in Nigeria, if you look northwest towards Europe or east northwest towards the United States, or northeast towards Russia, you will actually see a dull glow in your night sky though you won't hear the thunder of the explosions.
The next three days or even a week will be normal although wind patterns may have become suspect. Thereafter, you will observe that the sky is getting darker and midday seems like dusk. That is the cloud of a global thermonuclear warfare.
The sun will be screened out for months and plants will die off. This will lead to global famine, first step. Of course, global trade is already gone and the world has reverted to primitive levels. The Internet is no more and telephone services have become epileptic.
Next will come the global outbreak of all forms of cancers from radiation carried around the world by the cloud earlier described. Death will become so much more desirable than life that those alive will curse their lot.
There will be survivors of course: those who have been hidden away in military grade silos and have ample supplies to carry them for about two years.
Those who just manage to go through about three years of life as foragers and scavengers and somehow have not been killed by skin cancer, blood cancer and other forms of metastasis. They are the ones that will populate the new world and begin to try to establish a new civilization.
Now you have an idea why NATO keeps avoiding fighting with Russia. It is simply to keep YOU alive.

If you read in between line of the post, you’d see how these newspapers are all about giving propaganda to the most foolish member of the society that are eager to eat their propaganda.

A simple reading through the main body of the report shows that Amaechi didn’t say exactly what is in the headline, but they know some people will masturbate and jubilate once they see the headline that suits their delusions, they quickly cook it for them so they can sell. Hahaha

The two most powerful forms of capital on earth - "ideas" and "relationships".
I repeat:
Ideas that can generate wealth or leverage resources & Relationships that can be leveraged to create opportunities for you.
However, let's first settle somethings:
- Wealth isn't necessarily money. Money is just a type of currency. A relationship is a more reliable currency.
E.g. if 3 people need a car. One can work and save and buy the car with hard-earned money. Another may get the car as a gift from a friend he/she has helped in the past. The third person may get an introduction to the car dealer and pay half the price because of the introduction. They all bought cars. One with money, the other used relationships. However while money can only make one purchase before it is expended, a relationship can be relied upon several times in one lifetime. However, let’s face it. It can be difficult to build reliable and strong relationships, especially if you are an average young person just starting your career or business.
How would you even meet that CEO or top business person who will recommend you?

You most probably can’t even get into the business premise. If you do, there’s the gate- keeper, Personal Assistant to contend with. PAs can be such a hassle.
Hence, you have to be very strategic in buying dependable associations. But every building relationship starts with one singular realisation - you have what someone else needs.
Why does this matter? Even as you’re starting your career or business, you have certain advantages -
a degree,a nice concept, some skill, a great memory, sense of style etc.

How do you get into quality associations?
To me, Four things:
- Volunteering Help
- Reputation Integrity
- Excellence of Labour
- Loyalty
There are probably more, but let’s discuss these four.
Volunteering Help:
offer your services and skill, free of charge at some point in life. Give for free what you would have made money from.
Now don't pick something that will overly stretch you. You don't want to die while volunteering.
Pick something that comes naturally to you, and that you have a low cost of entry.
Volunteering help is probably the cheapest ways to buy relationships. And it has such ripple effects
It is cheap because no one turns down free help. It can get you access to almost anywhere.
E.g. you help a company that you respect to do free graphic designs for their products or analytics of their marketing campaign.
You have used that free service to buy access to all the network that every person in that company has. The day, you ask the CEO to introduce you to his friend who wants to launch a new product, the CEO will feel in your debt and will make the introduction because he also thinks you’re selfless. The idea of volunteering is simple:
you get someone else to speak favourably of you in your absence.
That is how to buy relationships without money.

Reputational Integrity:
Reputational Integrity is the most powerful currency in the world of commerce.
Reputational integrity is keeping your word + not cutting corners to deliver on your promise.
In the short term, you will give up certain gains, but you will gain them in the long run. Everyone who interacts with you, should be able to vouch to your integrity.
If no one can vouch for you, then you are burning the chances of developing quality associations. Once you buy integrity with one person, you have integrity with all that person’s network.
The relationship journey is not about money, it is about buying relationships. Basically, because you are dependable, people will speak of you to others to get things done, and hence you’re acquiring more quality relationships.
You want to be that person that doesn’t disappoint. If you’re the staff that never disappoints, the day your CEO needs to make a major deal, and the head of department can’t make it, you are the one the H.O.D will recommend.
Excellence of Labour -
Strive to be in the top 5% in your field.
Your name must come up when the list is being compiled of those skilled in your field. So improve your skills. Take initiative
Also, don't hide your excellent works. Publicise it. It is your credential.
Loyalty:
There is no better way to maintain a relationship with anyone than by your loyalty to the values they care they most about.
Other things will get you into the relationship, loyalty will keep the health of the relationship. Loyalty also involves caring genuinely about what they care about, and thinking of how to offer help to achieve it. If you combine reputational integrity with excellence of labour, people will go out of their way to recommend you to their network.
Remember that excellent mechanic that always delivers on time never lacks clients. Bear in mind that , Excellence of labour is not enough.
People will rather go with half skill and full integrity than full skill and no integrity.
Your greatest currency under heaven is your reputation of integrity.
Under-promise and over-deliver, everytime.
The only way that your business or careers grows is people speaking good about it on your behalf and in your absence.
Your network grows when people speak for you where you cannot speak for yourself. When you hear "I’ve heard a lot of great things about you", then you’re on track.
Your greatest validation are those you have served. What do people say about your career and business?
So when you are excellent at your skill, and reliable, volunteering offers you a chance to showcase that skill to those that will pay for it or those who will introduce you to those that will pay for it.
Side note:
- every sustainable relationship grows organically. It doesn’t appear overnight. It takes work, time and consistency. Most associations go through 5 stages:
-Acquaintance
- connection
- mutuality of purpose
- relationship
- maintenance.
So keep working at it. Look at it as a process; Sometimes you have to start with less fancy roles. Don’t look down on where you start from. Never despise your days of little beginnings. Also, stop seeking big breaks. Many stall their lives waiting for a big break.
Instead, be diligent in the small tasks and you will organically come into the big break. Life, like capital, compounds.
You can't handle the big break if you don't learn the discipline of managing the small growths.
Also, you can’t make powerful associations, if you’re not managing your present relationships well.
Now, those are thoughts on how you can start as a nobody that knows no one and become a force that has quality relationships that you can depend on, overtime.

That's all for today... Go away now!
Fin.

I Believe In One Indivisible Nigeria – Tinubu
1 hour ago

Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Zenith Account Opening
By ABDULLLAHI YAKUBU |

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has said that he lay premium on the existence of Nigeria as one indivisible entity and shall work towards maintaining its corporate survival at all cost.

He maintained that those praying for divisive tendencies must not be given a single chance to orchestrate their devilish motives saying that the country is far above any single individual or group.

“Those insisting on breaking the country, are small minded and true Nigerians must work hard to keep the unity of this country no matter what,” he said.

Tinubu, who said the unity among Nigerians would put her detractors to shame, said the development and growth of the nation is of paramount importance to all of us.


The former governor of Lagos spoke when he attended the Wedding Fatiha

of Sheikh Muhammad Bin- Uthman daughter, yesterday in Kano, where he hailed the father of the bridegroom Sheikh Bin-Uthman for his efforts as a committed Islamic Scholar in contributing to the development of Nigeria in all spheres.

He said he was given little time but despite the short notice he decided to abandoned his tight schedule to intimate Governor Umar Ganduje that he was coming to Kano even if he is not in town.

He prayed for the couple, Unaisa Muhammad Bin-Uthman, and Nuruddeen Adam, and wished happy married life, long life, good health and blessed family.

Speaking earlier Ganduje said the marriage was an important one, considering the family of the couple and their social standing in the society.

He said, “Looking at the calibre of people at the wedding Fatiha, it is a clear testimony that Bin Uthman has been contributing immensely towards the promotion of Islam and unity of the country.”

She just wanted to sound smart. I've noticed unintelligent people usually throw big words around,words they have no understanding of,just go feel/look smart.
She was also in another comment,saying men have children outside too but women are the ones we always Blame. Like how does a Seemingly sane person not see the difference between that and Paternity fraud?

A Man came online recently to reveal that his 2 children of 20 years ago are both not his,he posted the DNA results to confirm.

A Female Albert Einstein came on Twitter and said maybe the case is a "chimera case", that's their new excuse now. Another one on Facebook said maybe the DNA results are incorrect. Like how can a DNA TEST done 2 times on two different laboratories be incorrect
