Both countries can't sustain a war at this point. Note they can start it but can't sustain it even their major backers won't be useful here. All this is just cause and effect, they will settle down eventually.

WooDIYni:
@WriterX, Great comment—which I think that man or anyone else that is competent enough to improve on the design would find most useful/helpful.

On the idea of not making the separator/compartment permanent, the functionality issues (that you already acknowledged) and reliability of the barrier while cooking/heating (even if it was technically functional when produced) should be seriously considered, if a/the designer prefers to adopt the idea.

Your other idea to think of it as a sort of stove-top “oven” or “pot holder” is however very impressive and I wanted to add that I believe whoever is competent enough to make the design would likely be able to make pots with semicircular base/bottom to fit into one or both of the compartments such that at least a compartment never gets used for direct cooking (i.e. pot+oven,oven+oven etc.) and there will only ever be a need to wash the semicircular-bottomed pots. I saw that other comments by @Cmeo and @Bombolistic already concur with this idea before this comment and its such a relief that there are still Nigerians thay try to think of potentially useful/helpful solutions (even when not really seeking to benefit from it as in this case).

As the pot design currently is, something I'll gladly use it for is boiling of eggs while cooking rice on the other side, moin moin or any other non-sticky kind of application similar to boiling of water (which has been previously suggested by several comments) to make the cleaning/maintenance similar to that of a regular pot. Thanks.

1 appreciate the mention, I think he has a great idea behind the concept and it's marketable once he gets the design right. Thanks once again.

That woman might be exaggerating the whole issue. Smoke from 'Igbo' cannot disturb someone in the next apartment to the point of chocking. When no be motor exhaust smoke.
Maybe she has beef with her neighbor & wants to implicate him.

NDLEA should leave that innocent man alone. Pressure from this Bulaba Gov. don turn many people to stoners.

Bulaba himself na Baba for the matter.

I would have said you are probably right except I had my own share of such experiences. Man had to leave for the fear of his life.

Had neighbors running some sort of fraud syndicate, so usually its all drugs and heavy smokes and loud annoying sex almost every day.

It was damn not funny man, I literally had to get a nose mask for fear of my lungs. Heavy smoking like daily, loud awful music till dawn. And annoying loud sex that just took me off balance. Had to leave when they fought themselves and broke into my apartment while fighting. Bottled a youngie on the head and left him. Bleeding in my room.

As for me, I took my things, sent a formal message demanding half my rent pay and left for good.

Pray not to have terrible neighbors, man. It's like life way of depressing someone.

Also women have a more sensitive sense of smell than men. I fear for the baby, she did right on this one. I couldn't report mine to anyone because bro was working around with police more times than normal so yeah, I was not going to go wise up on the fella. I left and I am good

We are. Always open for business

Some of us aren't poor because we don't have—
we're poor because we fail to value and manage what we do have.
We waste time, energy, and resources on things that don’t serve our purpose,
and then blame the lack of more for our stagnation.

Some of us aren't poor because we lack opportunity—
we're poor because we fail to recognize, prepare for, or seize the opportunities already within our reach.
We wait for perfect conditions while golden doors swing open and close unnoticed.

Some of us aren't poor because we're not talented—
we're poor because we bury our gifts under laziness, distractions, or fear.
Talent unguided by discipline fades like a spark that never meets kindling.

Some of us aren't poor because we're uneducated—
we're poor because we refuse to apply what we've learned,
or worse, because we learn only to impress, not to improve.
Knowledge unused is like tools rusting in a shed—full of potential, but powerless.

Some of us aren't poor because we're not blessed—
we're poor because we fail to recognize our blessings,
always measuring what’s missing instead of multiplying what’s present.
Gratitude often opens the door to more, but ingratitude locks it tight.

Some of us aren't poor because we lack resources—
we're poor because we don’t leverage what’s in our hands.
A seed unused will never become a harvest.
What you don’t use, you often lose.

Some of us aren't poor because we're not connected—
we're poor because we ignore, dismiss, or fail to cultivate relationships.
We underestimate the power of community and mutual growth,
forgetting that doors often open through people, not just effort.

Some of us aren't poor because we lack ambition—
we're poor because we lack persistence.
Dreams are cheap; endurance is costly.
And too many give up when the climb gets steep.

Some of us aren't poor because we're not worthy—
we’re poor because we’ve convinced ourselves that we’re not deserving.
Low self-worth becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy,
blocking the flow of success before it even begins.

Some of us aren't poor because we're not informed—
we're poor because we refuse to grow,
rejecting wisdom, ignoring correction, and settling for comfort over progress.
To stay the same in a changing world is to fall behind.


---

Poverty isn’t always a matter of lack—it’s often a matter of mismanagement, mindset, and missed moments.
And sometimes, transformation doesn’t start with getting more… but doing more with what you already have.
The real Poverty is not a inability to get, it is the inability to use what is there.

Wealth itself is a product, no one has ever bought a product without exchanging something of equal or agreed value.

Here is an upgrade of the design


Ensure the cooking pot is non stick like really good non stick, the compartment that separates it can't be a permanent one thats a major deal breaker so that once one side especially the stew is done, one can turn over the rice or vice versa. Again there will be functionality issues but it will work.

Another thing is the divider should be adjustable to reduce and expand cooking space.

In all it is okay. My idea would be he made a sort of oven compartment port like a pot holder that can hold two pots whilst using the same burner

osazsky:
Na so u go wan wash the rice the 2nd time after heating for few minutes u come go wash the stew the 2nd time thinking the stew is d rice

Hahaha lol you just got to ensure you are careful and not too hungry before you start cooking. Women fit handle but men, lol we may be difficult

onome25:
Omo na useless innovation jooooor
so as him old like this na wetin come him mind to develop be this kia we Nigerians are very funny .....
difference between this guy & witch craft no get gap

Just one question for you king Solomon who in his infinite wisdom and intelligence has deemed such innovation an age dependent disparity and a failure, please what have you invented yet? I don't want to know if it is useless or not, just let me know. And also while at that, I need you to help define the metric system or SI unit you used to measure the gap between the man and witchcraft

"Wisdom: The Foundation of a Life Well Lived"

Wisdom isn’t just a lofty ideal—it’s the driving force behind every lasting success. It's not just about what you know, or even how much you understand. True wisdom is knowing when to act, how to adapt, and who to become in every situation.


Wisdom is 30% Hardwork, 30% understanding and 40% strategy and this equals always SUCCESS 100% of the times


Hardwork (30%)
1. Diligence: Putting in the effort to achieve goals.
2. Persistence: Overcoming obstacles and staying committed.

Understanding (30%)
1. Knowledge: Acquiring insights, skills and information.

Strategy (40%)
1. Planning: Setting clear goals and objectives.
2. Execution: Implementing plans effectively.
3. Adaptability: Adjusting strategies as needed.



We often confuse knowledge with wisdom.

Knowledge tells you what.

Understanding explains how.
But wisdom?

Wisdom reveals when to act, why it matters, and who will be affected.

Look at Solomon. He didn’t ask for riches or power. He asked for wisdom—and as a result, he received all the rest. Because wisdom aligns us with divine timing, sound judgment, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Wisdom is not reserved for the elite. It’s not hidden in ancient scrolls or locked away in ivory towers. It's found in experience, reflection, and intentional growth. It’s in the books we read, the mentors we seek, and the quiet moments where we pause to ask the right questions.

Knowledge is the root. Understanding is the stem. But wisdom—wisdom is the fruit.

When you prioritize wisdom, wealth becomes a byproduct—not just material wealth, but wealth of purpose, relationships, peace, and influence.

So I challenge you today:
Seek wisdom. Cultivate it. Live by it.
Let it guide your decisions, shape your relationships, and define your legacy.

Because in the end, wisdom doesn’t just help you succeed.
Wisdom helps you become someone worth following.

From meta on China strict malpractice. Whilst this works is due to the heads who are as well less corrupt. Sadly that is not so. To battle real corruption is to have a good number of less corrupt people on both side. Thats not so with us.


China has implemented strict laws to curb exam malpractice and academic misconduct. Here are some key aspects of these regulations ¹ ² ³:
- *Penalties for Cheating*: Individuals found guilty of cheating on major exams, such as the national college entrance exam (Gaokao), can face jail sentences of up to seven years. Those who aid in cheating can be sentenced to three to seven years in prison.
- *Revocation of Degrees*: Students who obtain degrees through plagiarism, data fabrication, or AI-generated theses can have their degrees revoked. Similarly, individuals who use another person's identity to enroll in university and acquire a degree can face revocation of their qualifications.
- *Criminal Responsibility*: If actions constitute a crime, individuals can be subject to investigation and held criminally responsible.
- *Academic Integrity*: Institutions of higher education can deprive students of their degrees if involved in academic misconduct. Those holding degrees can also have them revoked if found guilty of academic misconduct, including plagiarism and data fraud.
- *History of Legislation*: China's laws against exam malpractice have evolved over time. In 2015, the country added new criminal sanctions for exam cheating, and in 2019, issued a judicial interpretation clarifying the scope of crimes related to exam cheating.

These laws and regulations aim to maintain the integrity of China's education system and ensure fairness in academic assessments.

How to manage battery life


1. Close all apps once done.

2. Use a freeze app to freeze them

3. Minimize your screen space to a ONE HAND setting when not in use.

4. Use the greyscale setting to reduce color, it is thought to help improve battery life.

5. Go to your settings and prohibit apps from background activity


6. Time your switch on and off for your phone during nights and go flight mode when you are not in use of your phone.

Additional : Use minimalistic typo OS instead, it keeps things grounded and reduces your constant usage. I personally use one.

I wonder what they were supposed to do... Strip bare and carry placards to sing solidarity forever? Abeg, let's find if Salah still has hope for balor Dior or he has been diored?

As someone who can relate I can't call this humility sorry to say. He feels comfortable like every other billionaires who enjoy their usual lives. The idea is to be in control of your wealth to know where and how it suits and works for you as a person not to b dictated upon by money. This is how I like to see myself. Wealth is not how much expensive things I can get, it is simply to enjoy my peace and comfort while enriching and supporting those around me. Keyword is MY PEACE AND COMFORT. Kante like some wealthy people know what gives them peace and comfort. That's all but this is not what humility is about. Please check the dictionary.

Only ignorant classify things as Rich man things and Poor Man things. People high above only care about their peace and comfort and most times, it is not about what you have that gives you that, it is about the value to give bck to you.

Mad respect for this guy!!!

I actually have plenty but they are harmless and none she needs to worry about. or I need to worry about.

I don't know about this. I like to think times like a woman having her flow cycle or getting pregnant are times for her to take care of her body as well as recuperate and nature herself. I call them breaks.
I wouldn't want to but if she asks otherwise , then I will. It's all about what she feels is better for her and her body at the time.

Those two will actually clean-up Nigeria, but I don't trust El-Rufai. He has stains of corruption compared to Datti. But If only he will drop bigotry, and would not be a betrayer, he will be a strong force to tackle tough politicians (Datti also, but El-Rufai seems to wield more influence in the North). El-Rufai will be stronger as a vice. Just my opinion, I may be wrong due to limited knowledge/information.

You are not wrong, I see El as a powerful force here, and I know everyone knows it, this guy is a wike of the north. He carries their voices. But can he be really trusted when it matters?

I hope Obi makes it through 2027, I will be voting. I don't think he is any different however change must start somewhere, I have had a high hopes it will start with a different party in charge.

Jakumo:
The risk posed to NYSC members by traffic accidents, highway robbers, kidnappers, and organ harvesters VASTLY outweighs any purported benefits that the Nigerian nation derives from the NYSC which continues sending fresh university graduates to the most dangerous parts of this country for NO logical reason.

Scrap the NYSC, and consign it to the dustbin of history. The NYSC was Buhari's idiotic idea back in the 1980s when he was a military tyrant lording over Nigeria and killing his critics in jail, so there is NO reason to keep wasting the lives of recent graduates with this pointless squandering of time and brain power that was after all forced on the nation by a very cruel man nearly half a century ago.

I get your point but see, we don't even need to scrap it. Times have changed. The program can serve a greater purpose even now. This melodrama of going through risky and life threatening hazards is not worth it.

CONTINUATION OF THE DAY I BEGGED THE EARTH TO SWALLOW ME



So she came and was like, whats going on. Of course, I looked really rough with artificial tribal marks (cane marks) imagine a 100 level student!?

My eyes were just red like what exactly am I going to say? She could just end our relationship right here and now but when I weighed the consequence of lying this time, I knew I had no choice. Or did I?


So I told her a lie, see babe, I misplaced one guys phone yesterday and he has come to ask for it with his soldier brothers.

My aunt was very angry and wants me to go get the phone and back. So I came to get mine to sell it and give the guy the money!

But even when I was saying this, my mind was still on her new phone. Due to our different location, which is a bit of distance and the fact I don't get much chance ever to leave the house (this was also due to my fault as a introvert)

I had not seen her for sometime, a week or there about.

"where is my phone?" I asked finally, i was jot going to let her process my lie and start poking fingers at it.

She sighed and gave me a face i had come to realized as "Something has happened"

My heart turned akama.

"where is my phone, when did you get a new iPhone?" i asked as she led me into her apartment.


She told me to sit and I was too tired to refuse it.

"I sold it off and added money to get this one,"

To be honest now i think of that response of her, i realized i was been taking for a ride too. A lie for a lie in this case. Who would you blame?

Back to the matter...

It felt as if i should just disappear into the ground like swallow me, swallow me now now.


My breath went zig zig.

If she had told me that it was spoilt, i would say okay, if she said it was stolen, okay but she sold my precious phone which she claimed she needed and gave me hers only to sell it (which i doubt now)


I saw a bleak future right there, I would go home, pack my bags and be put in a bus back to my mother who would welcome me with what my aunty started on me with.

Bear in mind, my mom. And dad were highly disciplined strict people, a church knight and a deaconess. How would i ever face them? Like how? Girlfriend.... Phone lose?

To be honest, I couldn't say anything, I knew it was hopeless for me so I decided to save face. . And shame nor let ask her for tfare.

I told her, i will take care of it ( take care of what exactly, I imagine my bags of small belongings were already been arranged neatly for me back home)


So what do i do?

I started my walking around the street, I figured if i stayed outside for a long while say till night, they won't be able to send me out packing that day. So i was just going to keep walking around. Maybe I could find something, anything to console my predicament.


Someone once said that it is when crisis come that we return to our spiritual default settings.


I began to beg and pray to God for help. I didn't want to go back to village. It would break my parents heart. And they would let me know it hurts in the only ways they can. There was a chance i would end up a farmer or working in a farm for someone. My cousins were already on that road and I didn't want it.


"God help me, God please don't abandon me, please i beg you, Don't abandon me" I kept saying and saying with red eyes. I was crying to be honest.


Scared, Tired, Confused and in Pain. Mind you my aunties even threatened me with getting a police to arrest my girlfriend and deal with her. Yes, it was that terrifying to me. Because of common phone!!


I was wandering around, going from one place to another with no plan or idea. Honestly i just wanted somewhere to sleep and wait till midnight.

I kept imagining bad things happening to me. Ritualists, Armed robbers and so on.

This was my nightmare.


During the afternoon. While working about along a road. I met someone. Or rather someone met me.

A girl, a church member I knew. She is also now married and doing well in Abuja. God bless her and her family till this day.


She called my name as I was lost in my thinking.

Then I noticed her.

She was one of the ushers and When I came with my aunt new to the church, i joined that department. But we don't ever speak though. Introvert life eh!!!!

She was like concerned about me. Like really. Of course who would not be...

I was literally in boxers and singlet wandering a city I barely knew.


She asked why I was looking worried and what was going on.


I told her out of shame, nothing really. Again, I wanted for a reason i can't say wanted to act big.

Told her it was nothing much. Me? Nothing much!

She tried to find out but I was blocking it and when she was about to leave, I don't know what just happened. I just broke down in tears. Like all the tears I had been holding just came down hard. Like hard. My everything went into those tears.

She consoled me and then I explained the story to her, all of it. The honest truth for the first real time since that day.

She was "is that why you are going Out like this?" she was literally angry at my aunties and wondered why such treatment was given to me. See me for my mind, I began to feel like a baby by his mother's side.


"how much is the phone?"

I thought i didn't hear well. "you said!?"

"the phone, how much is it!?"

I told her, i didn't know since i was bought the phone, i gave her a range price.

She told me to wipe my tears, told me to follow her.

Took me across the road, we located a small restaurant. She got me food, i remember this. It was probably the sweetest rice and dodo I had eaten in my life. Got me that big Pepsi bottle. And then i thanked her.


But that was not all... Hah

Hah... Hah... This girl took me to a phone store and singlehandedly bought me the phone. It was a 40k phone. Then 40k was money.. Like money! And handed it to me.

"go and give it to them, and if they want to throw you out still,"

She gave me her address and told me to come see her.

She took from her pulse and gave me 2k extra for tfare.

While all this was going on. I can remember i didn't know what to say or do.. Till today that moment has made me believed that when something so good and unreal happens you will end speechless.

I had no words to say. Thank you? GOD BLESS you! Who are you? What is this? Why me?

What could I say... I just knew I began to cry again. See a guy cry.

I lost my words to appreciate her.

She patted me on the back and told me not to worry about it. And that all she needs from me, is my continuous prayers.


Hmmm.

She waved me bye soon after and left. That day, I saw something in Nigerians I still believe today.

There are good people out there that God uses to help and bless us and it is important I never stop doing good as well.

I went home that day, it was getting close to 5, I remember buying 3gala and sprite and chewing as i went home with a smile on my face. While i hummed a Thanksgiving song to God.

Who God don save, Don save.



This is one of my many experiences in my life, I wanted to share. This.

Though I can't really specify some details. I hope a lesson or two can be learnt. Thank you.

We have had that sister, friend, aunty, neighbor, colleague and so on. Who was and is about to go into there first relationship? If you were asked to give one advice, what would it be?

One key piece of advice I’d give is: "Know your worth and set your boundaries early."

Love should never come at the cost of your self-respect, happiness, or personal growth.

A healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and communication.

If someone makes you feel small, doubts your value, or pushes you into things you’re uncomfortable with, they’re not the right person for you. Stay true to yourself, and never be afraid to walk away from anything that doesn’t align with your happiness.

Happy New Month To Everyone.

Please share your advice, someone may ad will benefit from your experience, lessons, beliefs and wisdom.

NYSC simply needs rehabilitation and reworking... This is a serious call. NYSC is good and remains impactful but it needs rehabilitation and revisiting. Its been years for God sake. It needs reformation.
