It's just one year, he can still run the business via proxy or suspend it temporarily. He can go for orientation and redeploy back to his base. You never can tell, he can come across an employment opportunity where NYSC certificate is a requirement. He might decide to run for office or seek political appointment in future. His opponents will use his lack of NYSC certificate to bring him down, the former finance minister that had to resign because of NYSC certificate issue.

The former minister lied. The absence of NYSC certificate wasn't the issue.

He fought Fashola
He fought Ambode
He fought Osinbajo
He is now fighting Sanwo-Olu

He is GREEDy. His name is GREED.

This man's end will be brutal. All the influence he thinks he has will crumble in less than 24hours. Smh.

It is better for Igbos to buy your land with cash than for Fulani herdsmen to claim it with guns. Either ways, you will lose the land las las. Either to hunger or insecurity. At least, you got some monies to manage the hunger caused by the APC government. Losing it to insecurity would also mean losing your lives. It's a win-win situation for Oke Ado people and their clients.

Same you wouldn't have believed " na ur mama be dis o eh" chant to remi Tinubu if not for the video

Just leave them. Without rigging, Tinubu won't see 20% of the total votes.

😂😂😂crying wailer, you go cry tire….ipob sore loserr oshi

Laughing on Nairaland won't shield you from reality, unfortunately. I'm sure you already know that. It won't stop you from complaining to that tomatoes seller or the market woman when she tries to sell you a small bunch of plantains for N10k. Lol.

I dey see una type well for street 😂 Praise Asiwaju online, turn to unfortunate wailer when reality hit you in the marketplace.

Lorayne:

I'm probably ignorant but I think this means he comes from a family that takes their academics seriously not that they have any genes that make them special

You're not wrong. But that line of thought becomes problematic when you see an "unserious person" with better academic grade than people who studied wide and hard. Like many people, I have met people like that. They spend less time studying, have the least attendance in class, etc.

Some people grasp and retain knowledge more quickly and effectively. I believe most people know this, unless they refuse to it the truth to avoid discouraging other students from studying.

ProudlyLagos:
yam ree and delusion be like 5&6 so who ever voted against your agulu packaged fraud were all paid but ipobidient did it for love? Otondo, you go Dey alright las las🤣🤣🤣🤣

Doesn't it bother you that, despite my not mentioning Peter Obi, you can't seem to write a complete sentence without referencing him? If I were you, I would be worried about my sanity, to be honest. In fact, looking at the population of Nigerians like you that have lost the sense and awareness of their reality, I don't think Peter Obi can do much.

dgee1:


lol exactly why I said you guys should continue on that path. Please do more...

Insult more people. Call them names. Threaten and blackmail the judiciary. Stone politicians (as you have suggested on this thread). Amplify negative things about Nigeria and suppress the good ones. Seek for ways to scatter the country. Pray for the president to die. Or ask for coup and the military to take over.

If the clean messiah, Peter Obi, can't win, then burn the country to ashes.

Up the Obidient movement!

Why go through this stress when we all can fold our hands and do nothing?

dgee1:


"Ordinary small toxicity" lol

You've again proven that the mumu Akin Tollgate and the person you're quoting are both right.

Make una continue with that aggressiveness.

I hope you realise that it took people's aggressiveness to take power from the military regime? I mean, people like the NADECO guy, Soyinka, etc. Some of them had to japa to foreign land, writing theses upon theses, condemning the government in power.

If you think anything will change without aggressiveness because you want to protect the interest of the same NADECO guy who used everything at his disposal to fight the then government, then I have nothing else to say.

ProudlyLagos:
how far has your nzobu nzobu politics taken you? You keep moving in circles without any progress

You act like your saint obi is any different from the people you criticise daily yet he as no record of achievements in tiny Anambala

The nzobu nzobu politics have not done much because of the silent majority and the loud, opposing voices of generational reprobates who get paid crumbs to protest against their own glory and destinies.

blaise26abj:


Are there no PDP and LP house ? Why did we hear from civil societies and not from these oppositions ? The answer is they are also beneficiaries of the looting and I can assure you that it will be the same if Obi was in power. Why ? Because that is what majority of Nigerians want ! That is how elections are won in Nigeria .

The post you responded to is not really about Obi or any individual. It’s about how that person opposes a group of "toxic" people, as they called them. If this country is ever going to be liberated, we should be praying for more so-called toxic people.

I shake my head at how people keep complaining about online toxicity. It’s just online, and they’re already crying. What if people start stoning thieves and convoys as they should in a normal, uncompromising society where citizens have a sense of awareness? Dem budget #200m per street light and everyone is still going about their business, hustling for urgent 2k (oh, I heard it's 10k now as economy don ment).

I gave an example of a developed country where people are currently protesting on well-tarred, spotless, well-lit roads. I watched and shame dey catch me.

Every responsible Nigerian ought to be critical of the current political system. The failure of PDP and LP, as you mentioned, is why the average Nigerian who has everything to lose ought to be a "toxic Obidient." If Nigeria fails today, every single person in that house of assembly/senate, will conveniently exit the country without stress. People get into power and become thieves because they know that all of us are ive weaklings and we will do nothing.

UpaIweka:
And your best shot is the criminal caught looting N250 million to his ware house in Lagos

He say best shot, smh. You're more concerned and scared of Obi who is not in government than the Tinubu who recently approved over 200 million per street light? You deserve the type of governance you have sha.

Heaven knows that if I have a choice to select the type of people I wish to live with, I will never select ive people who accept anything their fellow human beings who called themselves politicians throw at them.

drlateef:



The core obidafts are nzogbu nzogbu people. The aggressive type of people. So, toxicity is in the blood.

Unfortunately for you, only aggressive people who are willing to risk everything can change the fortunes of this country. ive people who only wait for another election year to repeat and rinse former criminals who budget 300 million per streetlight are the major problem in this country. As developed as South Korea is, people are on the streets protesting for and against what they stand for. They are not waiting for Jega or Mahmoud to select another criminal for them. This is a developed nation with a top-tier HDI and economy, and with people who have constant electricity, high-quality transit systems, and security.

Ordinary small toxicity online, you're already wailing despite living in darkness. I pity una.

His choice. Even if Peter Obi resigns from politics today, what's the worst that can happen? Tinubu wins again and hands over to one of his boys in 2031. That one will rule till 2038 and by then, most of you would have clocked 55 😂 We go repeat and rinse tire and nobody will be spared. It wouldn't matter whether you're Obidient or Disobedient.

Lorayne:

Sorry, boss... How is this proof that intelligence is genetic?

See the following:

1.

Abasiakama is the grandchild of the late Mr. John Asuquo Udo, a retired principal of a public secondary school in Akwa Ibom.

2.

Harrison stated that academic excellence runs in the young adult's family

3.

His elder sister, Edima Inyeneobong John who also sat for this year’s UTME, scored 362.

4.

...just like his junior brother Abasietimfon Inyeneobong John got 358 in the 2024 examination.

My brother, don't ever mind my mouth
I have swallowed that thing mistakenly. I vomit till my bile comot
I don drink breast milk too. It's just as bland as cow milk before it's pasteurised and warm. So was talking from experience.

Hahaha, what do you mean by "mistakenly"? Some naughty things here and there are necessary 😅 That stuff has plenty of nutrients. 😅😅 What made you drink breast milk, though, curiosity?

Happy you all are fine. We are good.
Just that I dey look for money to buy tesla S 24.
My colleagues dey flaunt the latest models for me. Me wey no be fan. Now I wan break bank. Na so I dey dream model S 24 every time I sleep
Hubby asked if I have malaria

Glad to know ☺️🙏

I had to Google that model. It's very sleek o, and it'll look good on you. 🔥🔥 Have you told hubby yet, or are you looking to make it a surprise? Since you're already dreaming about it, make I enter 21-day fast now, by fire and force. 🤭😅

pocohantas:


No lies. I knew I have finally been released from the stronghold of free things when I paid for YouTube Music and Grammarly Pro.

Haha, I agree. I'm happy for you oo. I can almost imagine the sense of responsibility you felt from that.

anonimi:


Many thanks for your brutally honest assessment of who we are.
I hope that you have more opportunities to share your thoughts on our basic inadequacies.
Stay blessed sir.

Thank you. I appreciate your

Another proof that intelligence is at least 80% genetic. If your papa, mama, and grandparents no sabi book, just forget about competing with people like this. You will be wasting your time. The other 20% is shared btw nutrition and hard work.

descarado:

Hmmm, baba iyaji, are you guilty?

How are you and family?

The male akamu part is so so funny. I agree with your points. I've seen some of your posts explaining the same thing about food, and I nod in agreement. Very accurate view.

We are doing fine o. How are you doing too?

descarado:

Tastes better than male akamu.

It shows that what you feed your taste bud is what it get used to. Babies can swear by it.

That's why it amazes me when people here bash foods based on tribe without giving their taste buds time to adjust to such meal.
Unless one is allergic to such food or its unhealthy, there is no reason why we can't eat anything from around the world.

If Nigerians can eat pizza or burger, they can eat anything. It's just useless pride.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sonnobax15:

Imagine almost losing your life simply because you were seeking the attention of a fellow man like you . TBH,if I were the only one in this world,all these so-called celebrities wouldn't be feeling funky and big cuz I no really send them and their papa for here

Anyways, thank God for his life....

Bold of you to think that he is seeking Davido's attention. Davido and all of his team are not unreachable to someone like Nasboi. He can easily reach out, pay the necessary fee for a feature to have Davido on his song.

He is only seeking attention for himself and to his new song (whether Davido features on it or not). Moreover, each of these posts gets massive engagement on social media. There's no way he won't get close to #2m after 30 days from just Twitter engagement. Now imagine other platforms.

Moreover, Nasboi has had songs that became hit and top 5 on both Apple Music and Spotify. He sef no small. Boy just needs attention for himself. Nothing concern Davido for this matter.

Any subscription-based pay-TV programme that concentrates fully on the Nigerian market will fail. There's no other way. You either go the way of YouTube and Spotify by bombarding people with ads to make up for their low purchasing power and poverty, or pack up. Another way is to make your money by stealing data, then sell to willing partners abroad. But if your aim is to convince Nigerians to pay for streams, apps, or anything they can easily get a counterfeit from China or a fraudulently-hacked alternative that allow multiple s (e.g., Truecaller Pro, Canvas, Capcut, Netflix, Apple Music etc.), you have already failed before you even begin. They will never pay because they can't afford it.

Unfortunately, we don't even see our inability to afford basic things like that as a problem because of our strong affinity for failed governance. In fact, Nigerians consider their low purchasing power and inability to afford the very basic things of life as smartness because there is always that fake engineer and hacker willing to by the due process as well as a professional politician willing to convince them to exercise the same level of patience their great grandparents had.

Ordinary Grammarly Pro subscription, many can't afford. Microsoft Office installation, they still can't afford, instead we run to computer village, the home of fake counterfeit software, looking for a fake uncertified engineer to install a fake software or a fake movie site that sells their data to American and Chinese companies for crumbs.

Eriokanmi:
Maybe you're the one fooling yourself by agreeing with them. My mum died at age 90yrs last year April. My paternal grand father died over 100yrs in 1996. My maternal grandmother died 89yrs in 1987. My grandpa's had never visited hospital in his entire life, except when he had hernia and got operated. My dad is still alive. He's never visited hospital before. The only time he visited was when he had a surgeries in his leg. .

It's same scenarios in other towns and villages in Nigeria. These western people don't like hearing the truth about what africa is really made up. They ran away during covid-19, thinking Nigerians would be dying like fowl as they told them, due to our poor health system. Some of them couldn't return to Nigeria to work. The death they were running away from, met them in their countries they ran to. Covid took their lives

I hope you realise that life expectancy is not based solely on your individual experience or that of your paternal and maternal parents. Your grandfather may be 90 years old, but where are his classmates and friends today? I bet 80% of them are gone.

Don't let anyone lie to you. Life expectancy in the 1940s, 1960s, and so on was so low that it barely exceeded 47 years. It is not just about your grandfather in Ekiti, but the numerous deaths in the North and across Nigeria. People were dying like chickens from polio, malaria, measles, and other diseases.

Today, while we have managed some of those viral diseases, we are still struggling with maternal mortality, road crashes, terrorism, etc.

In a country where more youths and children are dying compared to other age groups, what do we expect?

Whenever you're compelled to criticise Nigeria's life expectancy rate, just look around and ask yourself: how many of my neighbours, church , or classmates have both parents and all siblings alive? Your findings will be shocking. Then go ahead and imagine what people in Benue villages, Plateau, and the North generally are going through. You will see a young guy or girl of 27 and both parents are dead. Many in their 40s have just one parent left. Some families lost a sibling/child at birth, etc. This is the story across board.

Where does this road even lead? Should this be our immediate priority, given the levels of hunger and bad nutrition, insecurity, and multidimensional poverty out there?

Travel to Ekiti, Kogi, Benue, and many other states in Nigeria and see how families have returned to charcoal pots cos they can no longer afford cooking gas. These devil incarnates masquerading as APC have overturned one of GEJ's legacies.

Where is the money saved from removing the fuel subsidy? What was it used for? Road construction? The same roads that previous governments built without stripping Nigerians of electricity and fuel subsidy benefit, which is the only thing majority of the citizens benefit.

In just two years, you’ve taken out more loans than Buhari did in 8 yrs. Still, you keep lying to your followers and claiming you’re working for them.

Now compare the average minimum wage and electricity generation/distribution

Mariangeles:



The way people are so much in a hurry these days ehn? As soon as the baby is coming out, they're already seeing a doctor. Hahahaha

Likeeee, the innocent boy just wants to be a baby 😭😭

That guy was right in his submission.
We are overly sentimental and put undue obligations ti our family by virtue of blood relatives.

The parents are only aged not sick. And the couple are still alive. There are very aged people living alone here. I sometimes wonder how they cope but they do. Their kids are wherever ecking out lives for themselves. The order of thing means it should be this way. One day,my kids will move on.
I'm making provision for my retirement already without disturbing their lives.
One of the reasons we don't develop is this saddling of responsibility. Because I gave birth and trained you doesn't mean you must sacrifice your ambition and life for me. The moment I decided to give birth to you, it is my responsibility and obligation to train and you to the highest level of financial and emotional independence.
You will do likewise for your kids.

If I chose to live with you, it's just because I want to, not an obligation.


I lost a lot taking care of sick my mum. She didnt even make it to my marriage. Forget the so called blessings. I'm no better than others in my family.
I was just lucky and stubborn to stir back my life to the right direction. Some may not be that lucky.

Parents may need companion and somebody who can do some stuffs they cannot be able to do in the house and that's all.

Here, parents make plans for grand kids. During that age, I will prefer to be living with my grand kids and doing school runs and what have you than live with my kids. That way, I have companion and is kept busy. Retirement age now is75 as people live to 90 and 100. My kids visit and go back and grow their carers. When grandkids are old enough, I might be in a care home. Who knows.

Seyi is close to his dad cos of biz interest. It's normal all over the world where you have rich parents and you want to take over from them.

Besides, that guy has siblings. If he is dead,they will adjust.

I’ve always been big on focusing on oneself, saving for retirement, and planning so one doesn’t end up leaning too hard on kids or parents later on. I still believe in that approach, but honestly, looking at Nigeria today, things are really messy. Many older people still expect their families to step in and help out when they’re much older. The fallback plan here isn’t necessarily financial, which is why I emphasise the role of humans in my previous post (maybe carers, church groups, etc.).

You mentioned care homes, and yeah, I agree. But the reality is, apart from maybe Lagos and a couple of other cities, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone seriously talk about care homes in Nigeria. The idea might cross people’s minds, but when you consider the average family’s purchasing power, it’s just not practical for many. Apart from that, it's a fantastic idea, but then even hiring a carer here is a gamble. It’s not like in developed countries where carers are trained, put under scrutiny, etc. You know how it works here, anyone can just show up and start working for a family. That brings up serious trust issues.

Maybe some older folks didn’t plan well financially, but my point leans more toward physical and emotional , like spending time with people they know and trust or just ensuring they’re not lonely. I’m sorry about your experience with your mom. Unexpected health issues can drain families. I’ve been there and am still recovering. It drains money, time, and even leads and customers if you run your own business. Abandoning them and hoping someone in the hospital will take over the role of family is the worst mistake anyone can make in Nigeria. Even for much older people, you stil won't be able to abandon them, cos how do you deal with the guilt? The best thing is never to be in that situation.

And yes, I agree that those aged 70–75 can still be very active. My dad is over 70, still very much active, and lives with his wife, so yeah, I don’t think families need to worry much about people like that. Incapacitation (maybe for those well over 90, like my grandma who died at nearly 100), illness, and loneliness are the real issues I fear. When someone can’t move around or is left isolated, that’s when I believe family becomes critical.

Sagacity10:
Buy a gift that will help his learner process, tolls or something that will help shape the career path you want your child to choose later in life.

Everything is wrong with this post. You can't shape what you don't know or haven't studied enough. What is the boy's personality? What are his likes and dislikes? What are his strengths and weaknesses. I bet you and the op don't know. He should spend his time learning and getting to understand his son. At age 1? There's nothing to shape. He's only a baby. Nothing concern him with career o. If there's a need to build anything, then the father should invest his money on his career and become a better father to his son.

Any toy that can help the child talk quicker or walk quicker.

I bought mine a radio

I don't think the idea of prescribing toys to make babies talk quicker is cool. Are there no humans to interact with?
