Call your family and friends in America,UK or other places....if you dont want to Venezuela is a bigger oil producing country than nigeria, go check the inflation figures there,its over 200%

Argentina that obidients love to compare their president milei to tinubu is at over 30%

Turkey is a far more advanced country economically than nigeria, tbey are over 30%

Nigeria and Egypt are at about 15%.....the question i like to ask you is does this make the presidents of these countries too the worst leaders in the world?

Libya,angola are equally oil producing and tbey are also having inflationary problems even Rwanda is seeing one of the highest post the civil war,south Africans are also crying even accusing foreigners for being the cause of their inflation, so how is nigeria immuned from global inflationary challenges......the major reason for ours is basically the fact that we readjusted our economy which will normally cause inflation.

Many Nigerians would kill to get to live in Turkey so many are also running to Egypt that also has same inflationary problems.

You go explain tire. Them no go gree. Majority of them are blinded by the political partisanship. Nigeria inflation is relatively stable to other countries of the world. I don explain tire but hatred for BAT won't make them see the true picture of things. Time will tell

BarrElChapo:
Leave Trump and face Tinubu. White suprematist right okay. How was Tinubu helped in achieving black excellence? 😂😂

Don’t you see you have your priorities warped 😂

You are suffering and shouting at a man that doesn’t really care about you 😂

I'm not suffering. Since you are suffering, you have no business quoting someone who isn't suffering and can challenge Trump
I don't know how to teach some of you to debate without insulting others...
I will call Tinubu to reduce your suffering... Pele

osuofia2:
you are just speaking round the table without making sense, what business do you have with a country that wants to reduce it embassies around the world.
You said Trump claimed to be saving christians, Imagine what Christians in Nigeria will face without the intervention from Trump.
simply tell your Jihadists brothers to let the world have peace. Killing in the name of God is barbaric, reformislam now

What has Trump done for the Christians the Israelis are killing in Palestine and Lebanon? .
What has he successfully done to the Christians killed in the middle belt of Nigeria after his media noise?.

Note I'm not just a Christian, I'm a die-hard follower of Christ. I stand by my faith.

But I'm not blinded to Trump's craziness

ariesbull:
Stay in your country and repair it

There you go. Some of you just enjoy the e faceless experience we have on this forum to talk anyhow.

I'm not a supporter of this japa thing and I know numerous talented Nigerians are losing it out there. I've got close buddies wasting away in western world in the name of japa. But migration is normal in a global world. Even Americans, British, Chinese still migrate to other countries.
But the way Nigerians celebrate it is what I don't understand.


But Trump policies has racist undertone. That's my argument.

Trump and his white supremacists are power drunk. I laugh when I see Nigerians supporting him in the name of him fighting for Christians. You mean that narcissist perv dey defend Christianity or just catching cruise

Spits!

heniford2:
Look at this particular picture and think about your family future are they safe under tinubu vote out this cancer

You using this picture to campaign against Tinubu shows how gullible you people are. This is wrong and insensitive of you.
Kidnapping is thriving as a crime in Nigeria as armed robbery is kinda difficult these days. And all these kidnapping has political colourisms. Even your Obi won't easily eradicate it. Your level of insensitivity to share that picture speaks of how you people reasoning.

Note this, only God can stop Tinubu in 2027

Afrobasic:
Yawning. 🥱


Meanwhile people are dying left and right.

I don't know the joy you guys derive from typing this shii all over social media.
I know the government has failed on security, but the way you people go about it is funny.
Gun killings occur weekly or probably daily in the USA, but that won't stagnate the lives of others and other activities. I know you people will drag me, but It is well

I knew I've seen that video before but wasn't sure. Nigerians and fear mongering ehn

The governor of that state failed woefully. He couldn't build on the otoge movement that brought him in. That protest was against the governor. He fumbled

Ganjafama:
The problem is not subsidy removal, the real problem is how has Tinubu been able to use the funds realised from subsidy removal to better the lives of the people. He keeps on borrowing, which is a sign that the country is broke.

No sir, the country is not broke. We can borrow more because our fiscal economy has become stronger. That's one thing a lot of you don't understand.

And on the use of funds, most of you are not asking the real questions. The governors are getting more money than ever in the history of Nigeria.
He tried to decentralize governance by making the local governments work but the governors frustrated it. That was our best shot at true federalism.

A lot of you are not open minded to the policies of this government. But time will tell.

Ganjafama:
Yemi I know Tinubu is your brother, but honestly, do you like the way things are going from bad to worse in this country? Just last week a teacher was beheaded in Oyo, insecurity everywhere. The naira has lost its value ever since Tinubu took over. Under Buhari things weren't this bad.

One, Tinubu isn't my brother cos we ain't related. You Nigerians abuse the usage of brother/sister thing. And I'm not a supporter of Tinubu. I know you won't agree to that, but that's the truth

Second, I have openly discussed on the insecurity in Nigeria on different fora. So I'm not happy. Insecurities has been an issue Nigeria has struggled with since 2007. We've successfully politicized it which is wrong!.

Economically you people are just being hypocritical. Let the campaign start and let's ask your preferred candidate some questions.
Who among those aiming to replace Tinubu will bring back the subsidies on fuel, electricity and Fx? None..... Tinubu will be praised for it later. Note it.

I just want you people to respect people's opinion and let them support who they want.

MemphitzDgreat1:
But seriously, if you’re not maaad, why on earth would you be supporting Tinubu to return as President?

But seriously, if you're not maaad, why not respect other people's choice of president?
If you're not maaad why will you believe a divided opposition will defeat Tinubu?
I come in peace

bewisemasses:
When Tinibu was doing the same to Ambode, where there no elders in Lagos to wade in?

It was actually the Elders in Lagos especially in the APC though that wanted Ambode out and not Tinubu. I know you won't believe this, but it's the fact. Tinubu had no issues with Ambode, but Ambode made too many enemies for himself and got Tinubu hands tied.
But the funny narrative out there is that Tinubu wanted Ambode out which will obviously be difficult to erase for obvious reasons

And some people are celebrating this nonsense fayemi uttered

Now I understand the essence APC presidential primary.... This is what we call testing the mic

lawani:
Benin and Oyo dynasties were founded by the same person. I am not sure which one gained prominence first but Alaafin Sango who is one of the most deified individuals on Earth today was an Alaafin of Oyo and he was a grandson I believe of Oranmiyan the founder. If that were taken into consideration then Oyo became prominent before Benin and was far far bigger than Benin in extent. Benin was more tranquil and may have been seen as a spiritual center being positioned to become a new Ife because that is how I interprete the bronze casters moving from ife to Benin and not to Oyo. The actual name of Benin is Ife Ibinu and not ile ibinu as many say.

Benin has been in existence way before Oyo though. Benin people argue that Oranmiyan only came and establish royalty in Benin; and that there was a ruling dynasty before Oranmiyan came.
And i don't think they will agree with you that the bronze casters moved from Ife to Benin, they see it as the other way round.

The history is conflicting and I don't think we will get an actual picture of which came first between Benin and Ife.
Though I'm beginning to think Benin. I'm not conclusive though

Refinedbeing:
The founder of Ile Ife who eventually turns to become the father of the Yorubas today is Lamurudu. He’s one of those guys that migrated from Sudan/Cush to find a new settlement just like many other West African settlers of today. The only link Ife had with Benin was Oranmiyan who went on to become their king before going on to form Oyo town which later became an empire. The reason why Lamurudu isn’t much in our history as Yoruba was simply because of our earlier Muslim scholars who tried to change the story that Lamurudu was a runaway Saudi prince which isn’t true. He’s just a migrant from Sudan just like the GA people of Ghana too.

Benin people are so confused that they claim Oduduwa happens to be their runaway prince named Izoduwa and that they requested for his son to come back to rule them after they found out he’s old and can no longer return to Benin to rule them. But in reality, Oduduwas reign as the Ooni of Ile-Ife was extremely short because back then the battle for the position was intense between his supporters and that of Obatala and then Ogun. And also Oranmiyan that they always claim to be a son of the so called Izoduwa happens to actually be the son of Ogun and not Oduduwa. Oduduwa didn’t have enough time to do a lot of things as the Ooni of Ife because he took over violently from Obatala and all through his short reign, Obatala and his supporters didn’t let him enjoy peace. The only reason why he’s so revere today in Ile-Ife and across Yorubaland worldwide is that he happens to be the first Ooni of unified Ile-Ife.

So Benin history sounds like a lot of fallacy.

Going by your above assertion, are you agreeing with the Yorubas that Oranmiyan left Ife for Benin?

There's no argument on the fact that he left Benin for Oyo

The fact that the Benin history sounds fallacious makes it difficult to believe.
And the Yoruba historians have over time pushed out their views for the larger world than the Benins. I stand to be corrected though

dederocs:
I clearly stated it, ile'Ife and Lagos, were created by the Benin empire, they were extensions of the empire then, we are talking about a long time ago here, about two thousand years ago, for the ile'Ife episode, (they buried kings that emanated under that dynasty in the land, that the Benin Royal bloodline that started the Oba dynasty lived) As I said earlier, ile'Ife was an extension of the Benin empire then, as you can see, that practice has since been stopped.

From their twisted Oduduwa story, they clearly mentioned Benin royalty traveling to their land and ruling there, but of course they twisted the narrative and called Oduduwa a God, when he was a bloodline of the Benin empire, the prince married a Yoruba woman and the seed was Oduduwa, of course in history people will like to favour their tribe, revisionist etc, that is why you have different versions. But recent factual history like the Benin controlling Lagos, and the first Lagos king being a Benin Prince (Ado), timelines of the greatness of the empire, building the Benin wall, moat, all these feats require a lot of skilled workers or slaves, and it takes a strong tribe or people to capture others as slaves, writings and publishings by Portuguese sailors, traders and pirates of their dealings with the Benin empire (they did not deal with any other Nigerian tribe at that point), the waterways and trade route connecting West Africa to Europe being named 'bight of Benin', the priceless bronze works and artefacts of the Benin empire (displayed in British museum), and archeological tests carried out on these bronze works, the Benin wall, and moat, will tell, even a kid the true picture. Edo people and Yorubas are good neighbours but we are different tribes and people, our ways, disposition, temperament, language, sounds, traditions, mannerisms and culture are as different as day and night, though some terms and words/names might be used interchangeably by the two, this is due to historical interactions.

Hmmmm
I like how you marshal your points. Like I already mentioned, this piece of history is one of the most controversial that I have tried to understand with no accuracy. So, don't assume I have an opinion or reached a conclusion.

My little researches show that, Benin is obviously older than the Oyo empire (which of course went on to rule the Yorubas for centuries). But there's no accuracy on which comes first, the Benin or Ife empire. And on the bight of Benin, the Benins obviously had early access to the waters unlike Ife that's deep inside. And there's no dispute on the Benin influence on Lagos, Aworis and Itshekiris.

And I don't think the difference between the Benins and Yorubas is that wide. I strongly believe that both tribes in addition to the Itshekiris can easily blend with each other than any other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

The history has been greatly distorted such that accuracy is difficult

dederocs:
Benin empire state is more than 4000 years old, has had 3 dynasties and 12 kings before the Oba era, oldest yoruba settlement is around 1300 years old, evidence of this is in archeological tests done on the great Benin city walls, Benin moat and priceless Benin bronze works. Recent history of 17th and 18th century showed Benin controlling the waterways of Niger Delta axis, down to Lagos and Dahomey, trading with the Portuguese, that stretch of waterway is named after Benin (bight of Benin), first Lagos king was a Benin Prince, Prince Ado. Stop this nonsense, a son can not teach a father anything, a son copies from the father. Benin created your major earlier cities, ile'Ife and Lagos. All these are facts, not myths or fables... till today Benin blood run Lagos royal household, the Aworis etc are Benin princes.

What then is the reason for burying majority Benin obas in ile Ife before it was stopped?

Benins no wan gree and the Yorubas no wan gree too .
Only God knows whose history is accurate cos una dey confuse me

Who you support is your right, it doesn't matter if your support was rented.
But for generations unborn, the civic space must not be made to shrink because of one man's inordinate appetite for power.
Tomorrow exists!
We've had enough exchange,

All the aspirants we currently have only have the ambition of becoming the president. You guys make it look as if one of them is a messiah
None is better than the other.
Rented or otherwise, let people support who they want and leave the rest to posterity.

I rest my case

Chegesnd:
You celebrated what?
Your first comment on this thread wholly gave you away!
It showed bitterness to the rule of law.
It showed you have a strange distaste for enhanced democratic space.
But, you can be excused because that's the way you're wired - not having a mind of your own
Sore Losers are those who don't key into the shenanigans you and your Slave Masters espouse!
Good morning from here!

So, if I'm in support of someone you don't like, it means I don't have a mind of my own
You can see how low your reasoning is. People will always have conflicting opinions with yours. Respect them and move on.

And go back to read what my first comment was. I was merely playing cos I knew that very decision will change the political calculations and configuration. That was an excited me that the ruling party's strategy has been checkmated.

Like I already stated, you guys are blinded by your reasoning!

Good evening from here!

Chegesnd:
Armchair Political Analyst!
I've actually found one!
Bye.

And I also found an hypocrite in you!

To begin with, I celebrated the judgement cos it will strengthen the opposition which we all need. But you turned it upside down
And I insist that if the judgement had gone otherwise, you people will claim the ruling party has pocketed the judiciary. Now that it's a good one, you didn't mention that.
Go sink in your hypocrisy you sore losers
E pain am
Bye

If a third party app can gain access without any form of verification or OTP and withdraw your funds, then we ain't safe any no longer.

OP, I advice you follow up opay customer care service.

The scammer took over his phone. Opay wouldn't know he wasn't the one controlling the phone as at the time of the transaction.
OP no get case abeg and it doesn't show Opay is unsafe. The scammer could have moved money from any of his account.

You Truly sabi Obidients

They are not realistic and objective with little knowledge of politics and Nigeria political history. They see neutrals like us as supporting the government in power even when I'm not. I'm neutral and I will remain like that for now. But I hate their sheer hypocrisy

Chegesnd:
But .... what makes you think the judgment favours a certain people excluding you?
Does it mean that when constitutionality prevails, it's against you and what you represent?
The court while ruling on a motion filed by the Youth Party said that the Electoral Act provision of 120 days before election to submit membership list should prevail against INEC's short deadline.
The court simple told INEC that the Electoral Act is superior to their guidelines, simple.
But you see it as a loss to you and what you represent.
Disgusting!

You typed like someone writhing in pains and can't respect other people's opinion.
Anyways I'm just a political analyst and a realist. The hypocrisy of people like you because you dislike the government in power makes it difficult to remove the speck in your eyes.
You people don't seem to see your hypocritical stance as irritating and childish.
I come in peace.

E don be. Let's go there
I'm sure the noise makers won't see the impartiality of the judges now
The moment it doesn't favour them, the judiciary becomes partial

Good day my follow Nairalanders.

Everyday, life opens a new chapter of life to us. My own chapter had been opened and and it read... "it time to get married.

In the church I attended, there I met this girl so mature enough to be taken in as a wife. I approach her for the first time and I started asking her out. Seem she knew my intention, she started asking me about my church life, my family, my business and all that not.

To be honest with her, I did my best to answer every question in the language she could understand.

She seems not still satisfied with my account, she sent me this message at about 5am.
Said until I respond to those questions, she won't have anything to do with me again.

I'm truly confused on wether everyone that finds love 💕 really goes through this rigorous question.

And more about her life, she spent almost everyday in church after work. She said if I'm truly serious, I should also be as serious as she is in going and participating in all weekly activities in the church.

Please help, how do I answer this questions, since it the only options she said can bring us together?

Those questions are good for me. Just that she ought to take it one step at a time. I think she's just a direct fellow and doesn't want to beat around the bush

Matured adults acting like kids. They want GEJ to contest even when he hasn't signified interest. Funny lots
