If they don't want pre paid meters why not bill them what would forced them to request for pre paid themselves?
Make sure for every estimated bill you serve them, they must pay 75% of it or get disconnected.
Na madness dey cure madness.

Majority of Mosques even in the South don't pay electricity bills, government need to take a decisive action against these religions houses.

Those bill guys can't counter them, I have seen where they chase them out on the street before. Infact they don't even bother themselves to go their side again.

Lol. You all think you can effortlessly shape-shift as you please without any shame right? I think all you wrote above should be addressed to Bayo Onanuga, the president's spokesman. This was him trying to set the North against Obi barely a month ago when you all were vehemently against America's intervention. What changed?

Let me speak for myself on this issue, you can as well check some of my post concerning this issue on Nairaland. No one oppose or condemn US intervention, the major concern of most people is "Christians genocide" being tagged as reason for the intervention.

As you could see some weeks ago, majority of stake holders from the North vehemently dismissed the claim and insisted that both Christians and Muslims were the victims. So, if this claim by the US is the sole reason for the attack, and the bombing continue withiout collaboration with our armies force, how do you think the Muslims North, particularly those terrorists sympathisers or jihadish minded fellow would react?

Even at that, government is still trying to be careful not to instigate religion crisis in the North, that is why they first play ignorant to the attack. Please let put politics aside and allow US in collaboration with Nigeria army to clear out these terrorists once and for all.

Lastly, I have no business with Bayo onanuga remarks, I am apolitical, I am a pro regionalism or total disintegration, so I have no business with Nigeria government or whoever useless politicians being tips to get there.

8k matured chicken while they’re selling the day old at 2500. Which kind propaganda lying machine is this

Apc people don see Nigerians finish

No, a farmer in the system will understand the price better. This seller did not buy DOC at 2500, he bought them around 1k or less, and that was mid November when demand for December stocking had drastically reduced from hatcheries. This particular bird he bought is 5 weeks old 100%, and the person can only spend between 5-6k to raise them. So if he sell at 8k, he made 2 or 3k profit on each bird.

Emzedz:
Terrible liar like his paymaster tinibu.. useless n shameless

He is not lying, this is 5 weeks broiler, with Ross 308, cobb 500 or arbor acre breed and professional feed, you can get 2kg live weight or 1.4kg dress weight at 5 weeks old. If there is no disease crisis during those 5 weeks, he can raise them with 5k/6k. So a farmer that sold it for 8k will still make nothing less than 2k profit on each bird.

Nigerians are genetically greedy, I can tell you for free today that no farmer can spend 15k on the chicken they sold 25k and above. Some farmer made more than 100% profit on each bird they sold. No chicken should be more than 20k no matter how big it is, but greed on the part of farmers will never let that happen. Majority of time, the faults are not just from the government but from we the masses.

AMINDA:
What will Bayo Onanuga now say for inviting Donald Trump to invade Nigeria with cruise misiles? It is an admittance of failure and there's no reason to seek re-election if you're too weak or too incompetent to secure Nigeria.

The Nigeria armies has been infiltrated by these same terrorists, it is an effort in futility to expect Nigeria military to defeat them. Every right thinking Nigerian who want the progress of this country should not have problem on coordinating military attack on terrorists hideout.

Leave politics aside at this point and applaud the effort of our men in uniform. Or are you happy with the way these terrorists kill your people up North? Or are you a jihadist who major aim is to Islamise the country?

Ofunaofu:
Fayose should use this opportunity to show documentary evidence of all the allocations he received as governor of Ekiti State and how he spent them. Only then can he be taken seriously over his infantile claims that Makinde received a N50 billion intervention fund from Tinubu.

Stop supporting impunity by attacking the messenger instead of reasoning with the message. These politicians are heartless thieves, only a dumb person who doesn't value the future of his country defend them. Whatever allocation Fayose received during his time as governor is immaterial here, what is more concern now is how a governor recieve 50b intervention fund but only disbursed 4.5b to the victims.

So, where is the remaining 45.5b, because this money is not allocation but gift to the victims from federal government.

We all can see that Nigeria generating more revenue through taxation will only enrich politicians and won't reflect in the lives of the masses. Politicians are too wasteful, masses should not be under obligation to pay taxes to them because it will only end up in their private pockets in disguise of frivolous needless projects.

CrownOfClay724:
National Orientation Agency have a lot of work to do.
If we go back to these ways and cultivate pride for our own instead of these skimpy vietnamese polyesters we now wear, our society would likely become more moral with plenty of jobs for our textile industry and fashion designers.

You should understand humans progression. People evolved, societies evolved into new cultural values and ideologies. Even those you were trying to emulate, people before them might probably sees them as wayward generation too. Societies adopted new form of social norms as they evolved or progresses.

CHIEFCHICKEN:
There was a lady who I have never met physically before other than Facebook and maybe twice when I have called her before.
At a point, she asked me to give her 3k. I can't remember what she wanted to use it for. I sent her 5k because I felt, it's just a help.
Maybe because we were able to establish a communication beyond 6 months, I couldn't refuse her request. I think this happened in 2019 or 2020

Also, I have a guy who we met on Facebook, I have never met him physically before. I have never called him before and he has never called me before. Our only interaction was just liking each other's posts and maybe comments.
When I was In 400 level, he asked me to loan him 4000 that he was going to refund. I sent it to him... After 2 weeks, he wanted to refund and I smiled and told him it was a gift.

If your Spirit feels obligated or oblidge to give or borrow them, You don't necessarily need to meet people before give.
But then again when I think about all these scenarios, I feel like am more of a giver.

I can't count the number of people I have gifted money online, they are plenty. Though mostly small amount but it meant so much to them by their profuse appreciations.

Although, people I don't know or meet online have gifted me money too on several occasions. A good amount of money, even withiout asking them.

Humans are egocentric by nature, they don't like begging others if they have enough to cater for their needs. They will rather gives to take the glories and respect associated with given. So if someone genuinely ask me for a little help, I put them in my shoes, the kind of emotional pains they must have gone through before they put shame aside to ask me for help. It is not easy to be asking for help or begging for money, that is why you need to show kindness even if you can't help the person that ask for it.

It is not always about scam, some are genuine, especially those ones you came in contact with by accident and not by romance or business deal. Life is very simple, If you ask me for money, I give if I can, but if I cannot at that moment, I will tell you in a responsible manner. It irritate me when some people complains about people asking them favour or turn it to a fight with them. Nobody can force you to do what you don't want to do, so if you don't have or can't help them at that moment, just tell them straight up instead of acting weird.

yemre:
Young man, I really imagined myself in your situation and really I know how hard it must have been, living with this secret.

However, I need you to know that you've got no fault in all of these at all. Most times we have no choice to choose the kind of family we're born into born we are at full liberty to choose how we live.

Pls let this secret not harm your relationship or delay your own plans for your life. For now, tell your woman that your adopted father is your father and do everything accordingly.

Your woman will still get to know this secret years later but it's not advisable you tell her now because this is a woman and it's will be too early to tell her some things as sensitive as this until after some years together when you must have trusted her or her ability and maturity to handle some things.

Live your life, give your mother some gap (if possible, for your sanity) and never stop your care for your adopted father (as he's been in your life from childhood, at least, see him as your benefactor).

In as much as your biological father has not the boldness to step in and claim his son till you are grown like this signifies that he has always been part of the crime all along and he's enjoying the whole thing. So, live it at that. It is his headache with that of your mum and that shouldn't be your problem. But remember to let your mum know the effects the secret has had in your life's trajectory (that's if she's that mature to handle that. If she's not, please just keep quiet). Maturity has nothing to do with age.

Lastly bro, face your life, give very little attention to your biological father (because he's not really worth it. He tried breaking a home with no intention to follow it through), if possible, relocate from that vicinity or town you live with them and only relate from afar.

That way, you will live your life in peace devoid of distractions from any of them. Thank God you are a professional and can take care of yourself. That in itself is power!

All the best bro.

Why do you think the said man is even his biological father? A woman who is capable of sleeping with another man from her matrimonial home should not be trusted with a mere proclamation. Let him do a DNA test first, anyone between them can be father or even different person entirely.

If eventually he is the father, he must be sue and jail by law.

manuelkel:
I understand you, I would exactly do the same tey tey, but the sad truth is, he can't stop relating with his biological father who didn't raise him.
By tradition, the tradition don't care who raised him, it cares more about whose blood he was made.
He just have to accept it and go with the both as his fathers. Infact I think bearing the names of the man who raised him up is enough to pay respects to the man who raised him , but he can't neglect his biological father based on tradition.

That was why I said he should acknowledge him as biological father and nothing more. Besides, there is no tradition or law in Nigeria that support a man who impregnated another person legally married wife and secretly doing a father duty to act as real father to the child. It is a punishable offence by law if the wife is legally married. Besides, the guy should first conduct a DNA test to ascertain the claim because he might not even be his son but someone else or even his present father.

It is quite unfortunate that he has an evil mother and unapologetic heartless sperms donor as real father. Let him do a DNA test first.

Kcash200:
I know he would have suspected her ways because looking back, she was rude to him and never listened but it would really shock me if he knew but i dont think i want to find out. Seems the current arrangement is working for everyone at the moment.

No i am not the first. it happened while my mum was married already.

As a woman, do you think i should tell a girl i have been talking to for 7months? she told her parents about me and they are from a good home. I do not know what the reaction would be because she asked me if i had any childhood trauma and i said no.

If I should judge the situation fairly, I will put majority of the blame on you for keeping the secrete for too long

You don't need to burst the bubble again, just contact your biological father and call him the name he is. He is such a terrible person that you should not be dealing with, at least for now. I understand you might be too young back then to know the gravity of his abominable act by secretly taking care of you under your parents roof. Tell him you acknowledge him as your real father but the person you know since you were born will always represent you in life.

Warn your mother too, let her know that you can only acknowledge him as father but you have no business with his existence as regards to your life. You are now an adult with independent mind, and you should not let these two evil people drag you in the mud.

odejimioflagos:
I think it is a good idea to recall ambassadors. Just shows they are doing the right thing by aligning their diplomatic representation with their administration’s priorities.

What does this mean for Nigeria?

It means no visa to enter USA again. Those already in US should not risk coming home this period o.

Government should also allow importation of cheap cement, so that he can concentrate on selling outside the country.

Baronthecelebri:
The man need deliverance, instead of using the money to invest in something meaningful instead he's wasting it.

The money might be too little to him. There are some people that can play with millions like token, it doesn't make them a fool, it is just that the money they spent means nothing to them.

damoobaba:
It's enough, Ronaldo is talented but too FULL OF HIMSELF. Kante is a defensive midfielder and that's his job, TO TACKLE. Messi faced more brutal tackles against Pepe and Sergio Ramos and still made up with them.

Whether ON OR OFF THE PITCH, attitude is everything. What is Ronaldo playing that nobody has played before. All his goalscore is just because of the exceptional team around him and that's why even after leaving real Madrid, the team still went on to win multiple champions league.

Hundred of players has done the same, are they all arrogant?

Try to notice from now on, you will see that such spring attitude among players is not a big deal. Virtually all football stars has done the same. I have seen Naymar,Ronaldinho, Messi, Rooney, vin junior, etc did the same.

That is too petty from Kante. A player can get angry and refuse helping hands from opponents players during the game, and that doesn't mean they are too arrogant or disrespectful. A player should be judge by what they do off pitch than what they do during an emotional intensive match.

mrvitalis:
Lmaoo there can never be southern block vote

South East would never vote Tinubu

South South would vote him the same way South West voted Jonathan in 2011

Middle belt never gives a block vote

If Obi accepts to take Vice to atiku Tinubu is done for.. He knows it.. Everyone knows it

Atiku should do the needful agree publicly to do one term that's all

That will be a suicide mission, Obi is better off contesting alone if he is to have a chance.

North won't vote for Atiku to spend just 4 years and send power back to the south, infact Atiku too can't make such promise with writting agreements. Aside this, majority of Southerners won't buy the ideas, particularly outside South East. If Obi and Atiku run separately, Tinubu will capitalise on their split votes like 2023 and emerge victorious. Besides, we all forgot that Tinubu too has his own supporters in millions despite the hardship facing by the populates.

My verdict; there is no path for opposition victory in 2027 base on the current reality. I can bet it 100% that with the defection of majority of governors, who has ability to rig when backed by federal power, no political strategy by opposition can remove him in 2027. At least 40% votes is guarantee from states helded by APC governors( aside 5 states from South east), which could still deliver 25% needed by them.

Kreesxxx:
I
Are you aware that Wike won a governor with the supposed Federal might? You are not in Rivers State.

Lolz, APC governorship aspirants or candidate don't get federal backing under Buhari administration. The guy no send anyone but only his ambition. He only aligned with them during election of his own.

Kreesxxx:
I'm
And you think Wike is in the black book of the president? This was how you people from Aba and its environs misled Fubara previously. You have started again. A Wike that has been able to turn South South to wholly APC and made PDP paper weight is the person you think Tinubu will trade off for Fubara? Who does Fubara know? Just dey play

You don't understand politics at all, Tinubu knows Wike is equally important, especially for Abuja abracadabra, but if he is to chose only an option between the two in Rivers state, he will definitely pick Fubara ahead of him. State governor backing by Federal power is more deadlier than individual withiout power in the state. Governor control virtually every institution in the state including his obvious loyalists in the state electoral commission. He can easily influence election results if backing by FG power. Tinubu is not daft, he knew once ADC are able to convince Fubara to their side, there is no way he can get significant votes through rigging from rivers.

Hedonisco:
Stop disturbing us with this senseless and tone deaf talk about "he should contest primaries". People like you who play the ostrich are the biggest problem.

Making noise all over the forum pretending like you don't know that contesting the primary means playing the corruption game with sleazy characters.. Bribing delegates with which money, just like your bat did. So Peter Obi should go against the very thing that his reputation is built on (prudence, accountability and squeaky clean corruption track record) just to please vultures like you?

At this point, how would you have advise Obi if you are his adviser?

Kreesxxx:
U need a little sense top up. Wike that is completely in charge of APC in Rivers State. When you guys stay in the comfort of your Dot States you will be typing whatever comes to your fingers. From A to Z of APC in Rivers State is in Wikes hand. As it is today Wike has the loyalty of at least 55% of Rivers State electorates. I am not exaggerating.

With the governor in APC, he is automatically a leader of the party in his state. Remember Fubara is now among the men who are powerful and more politically experienced than Wike. Besides, APC has authoritarian leader in Tinubu who decide the faith of his party members where everything seem difficult for such members. Once he is in the good book of President, Wike is a gonna, and the power to deliver Rivers votes could easily be taking from him.

richmond500:
Wike is politically wounded both in APC and PDP, it's just a matter of time before the assembly members begin to re-align

Exactly, Tinubu will soon directed all of them to cooperate with their governor or face blacklist from the party. This is what he should've done when the fight between him and Wike just started, may be read one of my posts about the issue on Nairaland back then. Nigeria politics is a dirty game, Wike thought he was fighting Fubara with a genuine federal support, but fail to understand he is dealing with most strategist politician in Nigeria history. Tinubu understand the power of governor to deliver Rivers votes than Wike, he simply use Wike to bring Fubura easily to his side withiout having to promise him anything. That is political masterclass that Wike and other political can ever thought of.

PDP and Atiku fail him when he needed them the most, and I don't think they should bother about his decision to leave the party.

otunbakolawole:
No, its not a normal thing.

Will you allow your son to be walking freely in this Nigeria if you are president?

Bloody hypocrites.

SmartPolician:
A man who defeated an incumbent governor should prepare his handover note? Dey play!

Exactly, Adeleke will surely win, ADC of Aregbe will definitely divide natural votes for APC. Osun PDP, civil servants and some ethnics groups in that state are with governor.

Lolz, them don promise baba ministerial position in their next term.

Michaelajah:
very young at 34 years?

Yes, wait till your 40s or 50s.

DeltaOil:
We were considered Giant of Africa when Christians ruled Nigeria.
Gowon, OBJ & Goodluck.

Notice everytime Nigeria suffers, its from the Religion of Peace.
This shows its different from Christianity & hence not of God.
Thats why the religion of peace hates Christians.

So if Nija wan progress , its to find a Christian to take number one job.

You can actually knows the IQ of some people by their post.

Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria are Christians?

Drifter02:
Although I'm afraid I might die alone, nonetheless I still have to admit being single without any extra responsibilities- no kids, no wife - is one of the best things to keep happening to me.

I was talking to one babe just this evening.. telling her to come, I'll cook her indomie and buy her something soft and babe was smiling coyly and bro.. I was seeing the future and I didn't like it

The future of me getting the girl pregnant filled me with apprehension. Imagine, if the girl's pregnant and I had a kid on the way, I won't have no time for myself anymore, my soft life will no longer be soft, I'll always have to be worried about money, about not losing my job.. my happy life will now be sad and constantly apprehensive and all the ills that comes with having a girl pest on your life..

Omo.. married men, I'd like to say "I feel for you" but na lie.. because asides from enjoying constant puzi you knew what you were getting your asses into.. and I'm so glad I'm not you.. and in any case not all of you have money issues

If not for marriage/children, quite alot of men would've lives a more better and fulfilled lives. Responsible men are only born to work for their wives and children, the funniest thing is that, there is no guarantee they will stay with you at old age, most especially children.

However, there will be a time you will need a family to call yours. It is fulfilment of nature for a man to have his own family. You need to consider that please.

iwaeda:
There is no need for emergency, all these leaders should purge themselves. Most of them want to perpetuate themselves in power till death. Benin just change from 5 to 7 years. Alhassan Quatara is doing 4th term rather than 2. Most of the assemblies are puppets and rubber stamps. People are getting tired. There will be more coups, unless good governance.

Exactly, they should rather work on sit tight president who refuse to leave power for decades.

Though with this state of emergency, I doubt if there will be any more military coup in West Africa. Other countries must have learn from Benin Republic. They will just put a call, and external forces will overpower juntas and restored back the civil order.

PinkNature:
Good day

i’ve had these black dots scattered all over my body since 2019.

it all started when i left home for a new town and i quickly developed these breakouts which since then have refused to clear off. i haven’t taken any serious steps towards them, but rn its getting out of hand.

its also on my neck and on my back too.
ps: i take my hygiene very seriously, bath 2x a day and also change my sheets frequently.

i need help.

The following might be the possible causes;

1. Cream or soap you are using.

2. Allergic reaction (Could be kind of water or a particular food you like to eat)

3. Your body is sensitive to mosquito or inserts bites. Or there maybe a particular insect usually bitting you.

4. Anemia or parasite in your blood stream, it could be a way your immune system is responding to its malfunction. Try some strong antibiotics, supplements and vitamins.

5. A result of underline serious health issue like cancer or HIV but I am confidence your is not because you must have seen an obvious sign of serious sickness before now.

And sometimes, it could be hereditary, some people are like that. So if you are not suspecting any of aforementioned causes as a cause, it could be natural.

ebukal67x:
A proper reading of the 1999 constitution shows that the president has the powers to deploy troops for limited combat without necessarily going to the National Assembly. Abubakar is just looking for an opportunity to be in the news.

I just dey read comments dey shook my head. It is quite unfortunate that this came from a so called educated lawyer.

This is not a full scale war or peace mission, it is called strategy intervention, and the president has absolutely power to act in such situation according to our constitution.

Even by moral standards, what would have be a result of their help at that emergency situation if they had to seek opinion of National assembly that may take days. Some people are just enemies of a good course.

Michaelajah:
I find it very hard to watch Nigerian movie
American movies or nothing
That's my option.

Perhaps you are still very young, there will be a time you will get tired with all those foreign movies.
