Benesis: Buhari is allowing himself to be used by Emefiele Sooner than later one bank will be burnt down.
People can't do their transactions, ATM is not dispensing cash,and banks can't dispense too.
You try bank transfer and a single transfer will take hours to days. All it will take is a single incidence to spark the outrage and even the election which is the reason for all this hardship won't hold.
Nigerians are on the edge... Fuel crisis, high cost of things and now the fact that you can't even get cash... It's just a single incidence of a customer that will be angry in the bank and security men there not dealing with it well... And boom.. the real revolution we had been talking about Lol. |

Family › Re: Things I Saw In A Coded Bar/motel, Bothering Me About Marriage! by XAUBulls: 6:54pm On Jan 31, 2023 |
OP: Pg 1. Feb 13, 2020 An older friend, who could pass as a dad to me owns a bar and few a letout rooms for short sex or even a day booking.
He recently travelled to see his children abroad and asked me to come assist his wife once a while after work/hustle.
The first scenario: I was there yesterday and I noticed a man in his 60's and a woman in her 50's, drinking and eating together. Their language was of the Eastern and I understood correctly.
After having some bottles, the woman talked about her husband who was on a business trip and her grown up children at the university and all. She locked her shop to come be with the man.
The man also talked about his wife in the village for a function and grown up children bla bla bla!
The shock: The man was obviously trying to ask her out.....then she immediately told him that she wouldn't be interested in that. The man now asked what she wants and she said they should be fvck buddies. She said: "Any time my husband is away, I'll call u. "We would come here, drink and fvck well" The man accepted and they booked an hour and went into a room! Even though they are older and had grown up children, I still don't like adultery!
2nd scenario:
I noticed this last week.
I saw 2 beautiful kids, a boy (about 4 years) and a girl (about 2 years) playing inside the bar. I asked my friend's wife and she said one of her customer had issues with his wife and the wife left him with the kids.
From her story, the guy use to work and provide for his family, till he lost his job and the wife couldn't cope with the hardship. She abandoned her kids and went away with a rich alhaji. This guy has been taking care of the kids....bathing and feeding them, taking them to school and bringing them back, cleaning poos, etc. His rent expired and the landlord sent him packing forcefully, after some months. The reason he stays in the bar in the mean time.
Around 8pm that day, while he was out hustling, I saw the girl sleeping in an uncomfortable manner; hitting her head on the table while she dozed off, and I just thought to myself while carrying her on my arms so she could sleep well; she's innocent. She didn't bring herself to this world. She should be on bed sleeping now. She obviously hadn't had dinner.
Why would a woman abandon her own kids? Even if u don't want the man, can't u take your kids to your parents or even siblings and look after them? Where is the love? Is marriage not in good times and in bad times anymore? I had to shed tears while pondering! I was told the man had no one in the city.
I waited till he came back and I spoke with him. He told me the same. I felt so sorry for him. He was looking so tired and stressed. I can't do more than supporting him financially with the little I can.
This has really been disturbing me. Pls ladies, if you know you're not ready to suffer with your man when things gets tough for him, don't bother going into marriage! Don't even bother. A rich man today could be poor tomorrow. Life happens....it might not be his making! Life is not always Rosy!
Our mothers suffered with our fathers when the going was tough, why can't we emulate it? Bump. |

Samantha123: Well, we don't have them here.
I've never seen them before in any food stores.
Or maybe whenever I see them I think that they're bananas, but I could've heard of people eating them. Indeed Samantha. A top Zimbabwean who used to work for Multichoice Nigeria as the CEO also said the same thing over 10 years ago. He developed a very strong craving for plantains and fried plantains while living in Lagos with his family and regreted that plantains are not commonly grown in his native Zimbabwe or in South Africa where he used to live before he was posted to head Multichoice in Nigeria. Plantain doesn't grow well in Southern Africa due to climactic variables. Now, I believe you are truly from SA or based there. The "plantain befuddling" of your mind gave you away. Lol. You seem like someone who loves to travel and learn about other cultures... What part of SA are you originally from? Stay safe.  |

HappyPagan: Lol. I suffered severe culture shock. So many humans.... Blew my small Naija mind.
Hahah. I know. My Zambian friend had the same reaction when he first saw frying plantains..
'You fry bananas in Nigeria?'
I made egusi soup for him and he loved it. Told home we live in same continent and you have never tasted my food. Yet we both know how croissants and pizzas taste. Lol.
Fried plantains are lovely. Oh, we also have bole (roasted plantain, palm oil, and roasted fish). Lagos people have theirs with groundnut.
Our continent is huge. Indeed. |

PizzleGold: A man and his wife employed the services of a drone during their wedding to the admiration of their guests when it got to the session where they had to exchange rings.
In a video sighted by our source on social media, a wedding was sent into a frenzy when a drone delivered wedding rings to the couple. The said video saw the bride and groom standing in front of a preacher in a church building waiting to exchange vows and rings.
All of a sudden, a whirling sound was heard.
All eyes turned to the back of the church only for all the guests at the wedding to see a drone being flown into the church and had the rings attached to it. There was some applause and cheers as the drone made its way to the front of the church to deliver the wedding rings. A man who appeared to be the best man for the wedding had the drone stop in front of him and he cut off the box holding the ring which hitherto, was hanging on a thread. The rings were then presented to the officiating minister who blessed them for the couple.

presidency: THEY HAVE EYES BUT CANNOT SEE. PITY!
By FEMI ADESINA
It has been a hectic week. Frenetic. We set forth at dawn on Monday from Abuja to Bauchi, to attend the Presidential and gubernatorial campaign of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates. It was only Muhammadu Buhari, the Mai Gaskiya (honest man), that could have commanded the number of people that turned out. Without inducement. Endless sea of heads. He remains the greatest political crowd puller we have ever seen in the country since the beginning of time.
From Bauchi, same Monday, we flew into Lagos. To commission the $1.5 billion Lekki Deep Sea Port, then West Africa’s largest rice mill at Imota, and a lubricant plant at Tin Can, Apapa, owned by MRS Petroleum Company.
Tuesday saw the President commissioning two more projects, including the Blue Line Rail. And from there, we flew to Dakar, Senegal, to attend a summit on food security in Africa, billed for Wednesday. Our President delivered a Keynote Address, and we left for Nigeria in the evening. We didn’t reach Katsina, and Daura till about 1 am Thursday.
Now as I write this Thursday morning, we are in Katsina, commissioning legacy projects, including; Kofar Kaura Underpass, Kofar Kaura Waterworks, Revenue House, Meteorological Institute, Darma Rice Mills, Kofar Kwaya Underpass, Katsina General Hospital, among others. The spree continues Friday, then same at Kano on Monday, and Jigawa on Tuesday.
Our President is 80 years old, don’t forget. And he does all these at a sprint. We that are far younger struggle to catch up with him. On Thursday, after going to bed around 3 am, on return from Senegal, I refused to get out of bed till my colleagues came to evacuate me, saying the President was ready and raring to go. I sprang up. President Buhari is a blessed man, despite a debilitating health challenge he had in 2017. God has been truly merciful.
Now, all these projects being commissioned in States are because the Federal Government created an enabling environment, and enunciated the right policies.. There are even counterpart relationships in some of them. I tell you, this President has done great things for our country, including fighting insecurity to a standstill, and on the verge of winning the war.
Some cynics claim they’ve not seen anything Buhari has done. Yes, the Second Niger Bridge is so small, so they need a magnifying glass to see it. The Lagos/Ibadan Expressway is so minuscule, and they need to wear their medicated glasses. Rail line like catacombs in certain parts of the country? Bring my microscope, let me check. Same for Enugu/Port Harcourt Expressway, Bodo/Bonny road and bridges, Loko-Oweto road and bridge, brand new airport terminals in Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Port Harcourt, rice mills everywhere. “We can’t see.” Purblind people.
What of Abuja-Zaria-Kano expressway in the works? AKK pipelines. And many other projects. No, they can’t see, because Buhari has done nothing. Fickle minds. Caviling. Carping. Flippant. Unserious.
Those who know and are honest testify to what President Buhari has achieved for the country. And because there’s no need reinventing the wheel, let me adopt the chronicle of Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a recent press briefing. I then challenge anyone who wants to countermand the achievements to openly come out and say so.
Let’s go:
“Let me use this opportunity to comment on the increasing tendency by some opposition presidential candidates to downplay the achievements of this Administration, in their desperation for power, ahead of the 2023 elections. The worst offender in this regard has been the presidential candidate of the PDP, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. During his recent campaign in Akure, the former VP was quoted as saying the APC had not done anything for Nigeria in eight years. What a preposterous statement from somebody who should know. I guess we can excuse His Excellency the former Vice President who, until recently, had fully relocated to Dubai, thus losing touch with Nigeria.
“And if anyone would accuse the APC-led Federal Government of doing nothing, it should not be Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Why? Because for the 16 years of the PDP rule, eight of which Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was Vice President, there was no motorable road to the former VP's hometown and indeed to key local governments in the Southern Senatorial zone that served as Adamawa's food basket and economic nerve centre until the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office. Today, gentlemen, the Mayo Belwa- Jada- Ganye- Toungo road has been constructed fully and it’s the road that Alhaji Atiku uses to get to his hometown of Jada.
“What about security? Before this Administration came into office, all the five local government areas in Adamawa's Northern Senatorial District were effectively under the control of the Boko Haram terrorists. All state institutions, the local government administration, the police, the judiciary, schools, hospitals and markets had been sacked. Traditional rulers, including Emirs and Chiefs, had been displaced with their palaces taken over by the terrorists as their headquarters. The affected 5 local governments in the Northern Senatorial zone are: 1. Madagali 2. Michika 3. Mubi North 4. Mubi South and 5. Little Gombi
“In the Central Senatorial zone, two local governments were effectively under the control of the Boko Haram terrorists: These two local governments in the Central Senatorial zone are: 1. Maiha Local Government 2. Hong Local government.
“Today, not an inch of these local governments in Adamawa, the home state of the former Vice President, is under the control of terrorists. All institutions of state have relocated back and are operational. All Emirs and chiefs have returned to their palaces. Schools and markets have opened. Please note, gentlemen, that throughout that period, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar could not even go home. As a matter of fact, when one of his right hand men, Mr. Adila, was killed by the terrorists, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar could not even go to condole with the family of the deceased. It was that bad. Now that he can travel home freely, thanks to the Buhari Administration, it is not sweet in his mouth to accuse the same Administration of doing nothing. As they say, the bedwetter should not join those who are insulting the washerman.
“In the area of Social Investment Programmes, there have been 29,641 beneficiaries, from Adamawa alone, of the N-POWER Programme of the Buhari Administration. Under the Home Grown School Feeding Programme, some 162,782 pupils from Adamawa are benefitting from one meal a day. That programme employs 2,259 cooks in Adamawa and has covered 1,236 schools in the state. How many school children did the PDP feed in Adamawa or anywhere in the eight years that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar held sway as Vice President in Abuja!
“We are not done. Under the Conditional Cash Transfer, some 64,607 vulnerable people have benefitted in Adamawa alone, while Trader Moni and Market Moni have reached a total of 38,000 people in the state.
“In the area of infrastructure, some 8 roads projects totalling 714 kilometres are currently being rehabilitated or constructed in the state. That's out of 43 road projects in the North East alone. These are not phantom projects. We have the full list of the roads and can make it available to anyone who so wishes.
“Similarly, the North East Development Commission (NEDC) has either completed or is currently working on 140 projects, including construction of classrooms, healthcare facilities and ICT training centres, in Adamawa alone. Overall, NEDC has a total of 593 projects in the entire North East. Again, we have a full list of the projects.
“Gentlemen, you can now see that we didn't even need to go far to disprove the former VP's soap box statement. You can also see the irony of someone who held the number two position in the country for all of eight years but could not positively impact on his own hometown, state or region now condemning an Administration that has made it possible for him to even access his hometown, anytime he flies in from his new hometown of Dubai! The Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has had a positive impact on all parts of this federation. No amount of fallacious soap box rhetorics can change this fact.”
True. Projects abound in all zones of the country, done by the Buhari Administration, and you will get to have a compendium soon. But let those who have eyes, and deliberately refuse to see, continue. They will fall into a ditch, and great will be that fall.
In the words of Jimmy Scott, a Nigerian drummer, made popular by the Beatles, “O-bladi, O-blada , life goes on bra, la-la-la-la life goes on.”

Tycyborg: I don't like politics nor politicians but I see that people hate this man out of fear and jealousy... That's an average Nigerian motto... This says alot about what an average Nigerian is... People afraid of what they don't understand and hate what they can't conquer... Imagine everyone attacking and spreading different news about a single man... Well not everybody though but all opposition fans... It's unfair and I love the man courage... Honestly I admire his courage and surprise attacks... Imagine what he said this time is truth and he had a point but look at what some people posted out of hatred... They hate to an extent they hate truth. Some even said PDP time was the best as if things are not increasing when PDP was in power...
1998 before pdp 1 Dollar was 21.89 naira in 2015 1 Dollar is 190 naira 1998 fuel 23 naira and on 2015 fuel is 87 naira 1998 kero 6 naira and 2015 kero is 150 naira 1998 diesel 9 naira and 2015 155 naira 1998 rice 39 naira per kg which is 50kg is 1950 and in 2015 50kg is 8000 naira Bread 15 naira in 1998 but in 2015 was 300 naira and so many more ... And yet they said Jonathan and PDP time was the best... The only person who tried during pdp era was yaradua RIP... People let hate to make them think foolishly...
This same tinubu was he was a governor ruled a state without FEad allocation and he never owed workers during his time whereas states that collect allocation were owing during those era... That's a big plus for him Nicely put. |

magmaxmagma: 3 weeks ago, My two sisters in Uni (One is already planning on getting married) came to visit due to the strike.
Armed men 4 in total broke into our house around 1 am, I woke up after hearing a heavy bang, they are already in the parlour, at gunpoint they asked me to bring all my laptops, money and valuables, the robbers forced me and my sisters (unfortunately in night clothes) to the master room, they tore their dresses, in turns they forcefully raped them, I begged and cried for them to stop but one of them smashed my head with the gun and told me if i move he would shoot me in the head.
I haven't been able to sleep and my sisters are so traumatized, I couldn't do anything to help but watch them cry while these monsters raped them. i am so depressed and unhappy, how can i move on from this sad event? Sigh. |
