I think gambling shouldn't be an addiction. Gambling is mainly fueled by greed and all what is needed is to have sense of sobriety and stop being greedy.

Your parents should adopt kids, thats the natural cure to this dilemma.

Children needs guidance, provisions and protection, and your parents needs their presence, and to see life through the eyes of children once again.

Also, the power dynamic between you and your parents have changed, unlike when you were a child. Right now, your parents have authority over you but without responsibilities, which is unfair to you.

For example, if they want to bath with hot water, prefer their eba extra soft, and maybe you have to clean their apartment, these are responsibilities on you, but you cant tell them what to do, or even scold them. You have no authority.

With children, your parents will have authorities and responsibilities, which is a balance. E.g, they kids do domestic work, and your parents wont feel lonely. But the trade off is that your parents have responsibilities towards the children.

I see that you have a good family that is united, and you care for your parents, this is very good, but consider what I said. Its an old practice that is solved by adopting kids, or men going into polygamy to birth more children.

Nicely curated!

A sane country that's able to identify a Boko Haram/bandits apologist and spokesman when they see one. There was a time when this Sheikh was a deliveryman for bandits and was even advising FG to negotiate with them

StaffofOrayan:


You guys are not normal again!
You currently live in a country where Islamic groups have been killing people for over a decade but una no go see that one because you are slaves!

Your reasoning is still flawed! Well, an average agbero like yourself may not understand that two wrongs don't make a right but try to GET THAT INTO YOUR SKULL.
Also, the right to life is very core and under no circumstance should a customary idea or tradition erode or clamp on that. John Locke identifies three basic rights which are central to all humans and the first two are: right to life and right to liberty. See women's lives should not be in jeopardy because of one stupid and barbaric oro culture.

StaffofOrayan:


Christian camps, Muslims jumat prayers etc all restricts peoples movement, loud speakers are noise pollution, all of you with ur silly religions disturbing people because you want to go meet god in heaven, yet una no go gree die and fokoff

Your argument is flawed. Do Christians and Muslims engage in human sacrifice (at least not in a brazen manner) What we are saying is that human sacrifice is bad, barbaric and gruesomely wicked. In this modern world, we shouldn't be talking about Oro again and just as killing of twins is a thing of the past, the same thing should apply to Oro.

During his meeting with South African President, a NBC reporter raised that issue and the President quickly ditched him and said the jet would be for the US air force (as it's unconstitutional for a US sitting President to receive any gift from anyone especially foreigners). But the way President handled that NBC reporter was very inhumane. He called him all sort of names like 'not smart' 'you shouldn't be here' 'stupid' 'idiot'...The President handled him as if he has some score or unfinished business with him.

Let me play the devil's advocate here. This chap seems not to be smart. Having over 100 million naira in his bank without any real legitimate work to back it up actually sold him off. Such money should have been used to purchase cryptos at least on three or four different platforms.

Why using a classic 30m white benz... I'm sure it's basically for show off... He could have easily bought a small and not too flashy honda car (the point is to conveniently move from point A to B) while doing a small legitimate business as a decoy and enjoying his life silently. Nothing beats privacy and an unassuming lifestyles!!!

Now, all is gone and he's going to waste two solid years in pain, regret and agony in a Nigeria prison.

Who are these Jihadists? Let them have their own country. The government can try to carve out a new country for them.

You mates are outside making it you are on nairaland wasting your time analysing. Find something to do. People are building houses

You don't have to be unnecessarily insolent and vituperative. The op is just stating the obvious and the new realities for civil servants who relies mainly on their salaries. The op might have even built his house... Try to be calming down next time.

I don't know who's to share the lion's blame between the perpetrators and the victims. Obviously, the victims aren't just gullible but extremely foolish because what's so hard in following the golden rule of online dating: 'Never send money to anyone you've never met physically'

Walai:
A country with very low IQ a little above that of chimpanzee.
Look at the choices they make during election. Accepting 10k for 4 years of suffering.
Take a look at their values celebrating impunity and criminality over hard work and integrity .
A country whose youths think using people for rituals and mining skvlls of dead bodies will bring wealth.
A country where the average girl prefers prostitution now code named hook up to learning a skill and working hard to live a meaningful life
It's all fvcked up here.

So apt! You couldn't have said it better enough.

50 billion naira for a whole lot of ASUU and other staff in all our tertiary institutions isn't impressive.

Policing is not just about combating crime or repelling the activities of assailants; It's actually more about detecting crime and this is best done with robust and effective community policing. The security architecture of this country should be thoroughly decentralized. There should be a close-knit relationship between the community and the police. Kidnappers live among us, they have friends and neighbors and

The very fact that this country is divided into states/senatorial districts/federal constituencies/local government/wards shows that security can still be properly planned and managed.

I strongly share in the belief that the buck still lies on the presidency. Starting from the presidency to the top security officers, these state actors should be made able for any security lapse and failure.

We should also begin to imagine the agony and pain faced by people when they learn about the death or incarceration of their loved ones and family .

Let's kuku say "Kenya for sale"

Congratulations to them! No matter the situation of the country or the availability of other life options, having a certificate from any higher institution is still a leverage or an added advantage.

Congratulations to the genuine and real couple. I pray they find happiness and purpose in the union.

Listen to yourself, there is no compulsion of religion.... Your religion shall be yours and mine shall be mine that's the meaning and stop being naive....

The last time[b] I checked hijab is compulsory for all muslima[/b]h... Mind your business oga.

. Your statement is still contradictory. I just believe that religion has a way of diminishing a person sense of reasoning.

Nuclear weapons are basically for deterrents and for national prestige so the US and its puppet(Israel) should get that into their skulls.

And to use the words of a fellow nairalander 'What's good for the Greece is also good for Uganda'. Since the US and even a small country that was created by the UNO in 1948 could have nuclear capability, nothing stops an old and big country like Iran/Persia from possessing nuclear capabilities.

Must the FG tell the ivory towers this before they know the right thing to do. I believe Ivory towers should be championing innovation and invention and not being told what to do.

I think it's only APC leaders that will vote in 2027

This is actually NOT a laughing matter

God has reeaaalllyyy been good to me this year. First I sleep and I want, that’s a testimony. I wince fell into a gully where there where iron pillars sticking up about 6 feet meaning thee gully was 6 feet, I fell backwards then the bike man fell in b me and then the bike fell on us with me being at the top , god kept me from falling on those iron pillars, God saved me, I’m grateful God

And your God was callous to that bike man. He even used the bike man as a human shield for you.... Praise the Lord!

I hope to watch their testimony time! There was this testimony of a woman who got kidnapped and while in the kidnappers' den, a Winners' program leaflet in her purse fell on the floor. Suddenly, the image of Oyedepo on that leaflet began to speak in tongues and expectedly, there was confusion in the camp of her abductors and she was able to escape. Hallelujah!

There was also this testimony by the tsar himself, he started by saying that people only go to places where there's value. He said a German was diagnosed of HIV and the man traveled all the way from to the church in Nigeria. The man was prayed for and HIV/AIDS got disappeared and that distance can never be a barrier as long as it's a place of value.

Well, if the supposed lady is a virgin and the man can stomach the bill then no problem... But paying such money for a long distance relationship is risky and not worth the stress...

Omo, some people don chop belleful ooo... Cos on a norms, those foreign artistes are the very least of our problems.

A typical charismatic pastor. I think Oyakhilomie and Oyedepo are his mentors.

These Sad Africans are inherently bittered and battered.

Righteousness2:
True Repentance means turning away from your evil deeds.
Repentance means making right your wrongs.

Read The Conversion story of the tax collector in Luke 19 Zaccheus .

You cant remain with the sin and claim you are saved. You are deceiving yourself.

A Sinner is not a Christian. 1 john 3:8
A Christian is not a Sinner 1 John 3:9

True repentance of a man with more than one woman will entail him settling all his sin partners , sending them back to their parents and making peace with his 1st legally married Wife.
This is true Repentance.

Any other thing is you Deceiving yourself.

So he should them back to their parents (maybe even with their kids). Also, what will they be doing in their parents' houses And besides, what's your definition of '1st legally married wife'

Ani se, Delusion is your first name while Insanity is your last name...

I Find this "hard Era thing funny"
Prices of everything has gone up. If you have a business did you also not increase prices of your goods and services to meet up with current realities?
The only people who the era is actually hard on are lazy People who don't do anything and wait for handouts and people who have 8-4 and are too lazy to find a 2nd source or mutliple sources of income.
Which one of this category do you belong in?

Even my 75yr old landlord who is retired has increased his rent so that he can still afford same standard of living

Your argument seems correct but at the same time lopsided. Businesses are closing or failing. You talked about rent. There's a two bedroom apartments in my area that's 1.1m. It's only one seemingly Yahoo boy that has taken it. The remaining 3 flats is still there untaken for like 4 months now. Or you think middle class people like lecturers, medical doctors would in their right senses pay for such. The point is that the economy is crumbling and things are going haywire. Imagine a lecturer earning about 250 to 350k and can't afford to rent a two/three bedroom flats because prices are now between 800k to 2m. Pls take your time to think about it. Or you think someone in his right sense would use about 5 or 6 monthly income to pay annual rent.
