For a case that was every online? Why won't people above be interested? You think bank is a small supermarket. I dislike it when people attribute normal occurrence to the supernatural. The case had been reported, gained internet interest and was been resolved backend. Now God of chosen takes all the glory. How about the man's lawyer? He didn't do anything right?

Infact na one activist carry this case for head, the church was not even involved with the guy getting justice but now the glory has been ascribed to the "God of the chosen"

If Ukraine had lost, why hasn't Russia won?

See eh, the War in Ukraine is effectively over with Russia on the clear path to achieving its objectives through a grinding war of attrition that has exhausted Ukraine and outlasted western and Nato's resolve. And the more you keep giving Ukraine false hope that it hasn't lost the war, the more territories they will keep losing to Russia.

No. We don't handle divorce.
Our laws says no hitting. No slapping. No fighting. No assault. Be it wife, husband or anyone else.

If it is the wife that slaps or beat up the husband, will she be whipped 24 stroke, and made to pay a fine of 50k and 1 carton of beer. Since it is the law?

Over a million people dead in the Russian/Ukraine war. But people like the above think this is a fun party

What would you say of US and Europe that’s been having fun party funelling tax payer monies and weapons to Ukraine in order to sustain the war they knew Ukraine already lost from the beginning? Where was your righteous indignation?

How many hours in a day do one watch dstv
If they don't introduce pay per view, they will sink further
I have long abandoned them,I have a smart tv and can view anything I want, watch all the football ⚽️ on the continent at my convenience

Pay per view is actually more expensive
https://nairaland.moviesx.org/8412225/nigerians-afford-pay-per-view-tv


Here is the part many people still do not understand. Pay-per-view is not just another subscription model. It is a separate service where viewers pay an additional one-time fee to watch exclusive live events. These are not your average football matches or soap operas. PPV is for blockbuster fights, high-stakes UFC showdowns, or exclusive concerts. You pay once, you watch once, and that is it. It is not Netflix, it is not YouTube, and it certainly is not DStv Catch-Up.

In fact, Pay-TV like DSTV does not even offer PPV. Let that sink in. If you are watching a Champions League final or a UFC main event, you are not paying extra. You are watching it as part of your existing subscription. No hidden or additional charges. No tricks. Just the monthly bouquet, a stable signal, and whatever power source you can afford that evening.

So when people scream, “Why can’t we have PPV like abroad?”, they miss the plot. Abroad, PPV can cost $80. Here, that’s half your salary. Meanwhile, DStv bundles the same content into your monthly plan. That’s a steal, not a scam.

Let’s do the math. A ₦100,000 PPV ticket, which is less than the average of $80 (₦130,000), is more than two to three months of DStv subscription or a whole year of GOtv. For a country where the minimum wage is ₦77,000 and salaries barely cross ₦200,000, that’s not access. That’s financial suicide.

Please forget comparisons to the US or UK. Over there, $80 is lunch money. Over here, it’s food, transport, and school fees. Systems differ. Wallets do too.

The truth? Hardly anyone in Nigeria is paying for PPV, because they don’t have to. TV is already made accessible with our Pay-TV. So before you attack broadcasters, where the real problem lies. The naira is in freefall, inflation is wild, and income is stuck. Access isn’t the issue. Affordability is.

So the next time you are tempted to go online and shout about how Nigeria deserves real PPV, take a step back. Ask yourself if you can genuinely afford it without going hungry for two weeks. If the answer is no, then it is time to renew your regular subscription, plug in your rechargeable fan, and pray for NEPA. Because in Nigeria, PPV is not a right. It is a reckless indulgence.

We detached the head, and sold the body for 15k.

Glory to God.

Only kill a snake if it poses a threat, it's wrong to deny other creatures their right to live just because of our phobia and unfounded unscientific beliefs. Instead, we should educate ourselves on how to identify different snakes to reduce our fear.! angry

COMRADES, honestly I don't know why Russia is still treating Ukraine with kids gloves. How long did it take USA to defeat Sadam?
Please Russia stop wasting time in this special operation in Ukraine

That's one way to look at it! When the USA invaded Iraq, it commenced with a (shock and awe) strategy to disorient the enemy and undermine their will to fight. In contrast, Russia initiated its conflict with a much larger adversary, NATO, by labeling it a «special operation. They adopted a cautious approach, targeting Kyiv with sporadic bombardments despite having a formidable military and significant firepower. This strategy only served to embolden Ukraine and its NATO allies to retaliate more vigorously. When NATO is engaged along your borders and your existence is threatened, with citizens at risk, you must respond decisively and with full force. As a military superpower, it is essential to act accordingly.

Another way's Putin knows Russia existence is threatened by Nato Expansion to its borders..that for sure he KNOWS! but you see, Ukraine destroyed a few planes so what? There’s plenty more where they came from! The trajectory of this conflict cannot be changed. Putin cannot be baited, as he knows Russia will fulfil their aims on the battlefield. Ukraine can enjoy a short PR victory, but it will be short lived. Why should Putin show anger or panic! He will meet with his security team and Russia will respond.

Putin has played a master war game, he has won this war and humiliated the WHOLE West. To denazify and demilitarise means going through the country from one end to the other - he is methodically and strategically taking Ukraine piece by piece. The west have realised the game is over and Russia has won. Its either accept a peace plan on Russia or Putin is going to take all of Ukraine.

This governor has been fragrantly disobeying Court orders! This has given credence to th insinuations that he is an illiterate, a fact that has become so glaring.

Shame on Adam Oshiomole who should have ed this man in NOUN university so he can have some basic education rather than having him ran for edo governorship position.

Edo deserves better leadership!

Pakistan and terror

They are probably CIA shadow operatives.

I was watching a clip on x in which a pakistani ex government official said that Pakistan has been for decades doing US dirty laundries when it comes to terrorism. So I won't be surprise if their handlers has an executive office in Langley.

Genotype can be changed if you believe in your CREATOR and Live daily to please HIM. You and your wife should go on 21 Days Fasting and Prayer to Request that Almighty AHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH should Touch your child and change HIS Genotype. Even when you are not together call her on Phone and make sure you prayed together by 12:00PM and 12:00AM Daily. You will come here to share your Testimony if you follow through with this Advice. I've experienced many Real Miracles that Medical Science said it's impossible.

Dear OP,

This is indeed a very sad experience and I can only imagine how you feel.

Please don't over-flog yourself. Medical Quackery is something we are yet to address in Nigeria.

Now back to the issue at hand. We will look at it from two sides:

1. If you are financially stable and really want to have healthy children with your wife in the future, then you must for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) whenever you want a child. Do not have much children because this process isn't cheap. So maybe 2 children.

2. If you are not financially stable but you want children, then father from outside and bring it home. Also make sure your wife truly understands the situation at hand and agrees to your plan.

DO NOT DIVORCE YOUR WIFE OR MAKE HER PAY FOR WHAT SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT. DO NOT TAKE A SECOND WIFE.

As for your son, love him. Just love him. Love will keep him with you for long. But please, do not act in faith and impregnate the mother again or without proper medical counselling and PGD.

I wish you all the best and may Allah help you and your family in this tough time.

On your second option, it shouldn't be for the man alone...that the man should fathered a child outside and bring it home! The woman should be allowed to do same too after all the fault wasn't hers.

The Chief of Staff is not a public-facing position. He is essentially the president's personal assistant. This is a pointless inquiry.

Or maybe his hands has been caught in the cooking jar of corruption and has been giving a soft landing hence his lack of visibility.
