I will make it brief and mix my English with our local pigin English so expect a poor write up base on area wey I be. I won’t say the school name for security reasons but this matter xup yesterday!
My wife went to celebrate matric with her kid sister. Initially I told her I can’t make it but i planned on giving them a surprise visit with two of my friend who accompanied me since the school is my zanga I graduated from years back. I was already driving close to the close gate when I noticed my wife calling me, I picked up the call only for me to hear my wife raging so angrily that one guy approached her, she flashed her wedding ring for him to get lost and this guy had the guts to grab her hands and tell her that he will give her 50k if she follows him to an hotel let them get down that he likes her. My mother in-law is there as well and overhead all the idiot said and shouted at him for disrespecting her daughter and a married woman for that matter! he cursed at my wife’s mom. I told my wife am at the school gate and she was so shocked! I got there just in time, the goat is still there sitting at the front of his Benz. The mending, beating and brutality my hommies who accompanied me gave him! Plus the flying heading I gave his mouth! He won’t forget it in a long time!
Have we lost our morals as young people? Is this the best way to approach a lady even if you want to toast one! Only God can help this country! Yahoo yahoo has crippled sanity in this country. Las las the school CSO picked him up and hand him over to the police. I showed them my Navy Mess ID card and showed him that he messed with the wrong married woman. Bro begged liked a puss*. Told them to let him go. Young lads be careful how you harass young women. Some are married to educated hoodlum like me.
Note; I see a lot of negative comments saying thrash and seeing nothing wrong in groping someone’s wife. Those of you lots doing this will meet your Waterloo very soon. Under no circumstances should you grope a woman be it married or single! You could be beaten to death or injured severely and nothing will happen! I repeat! Nothing will happen and you will be arrested and charge to court after beaten thoroughly. Una need strong thing for this country!
Just reading this thread.
I saw a post you made in the
Foreign Affairs section of NL and
decided to take a quick check
your profile when I saw this
thread.
That dweeb of a boy was rude and classless for offering your woman N50,000 to follow him to a hotel
even after showing evidence that
she's married. He treated her like she was a slut right in the presence of her mother.
In a different scenario, it would have been better to take the boy
out of the campus and get him
to the Navy barracks or some place
for preliminary mending before
handing him over to the police for engaging in sexual harassment.
This is a great and insightful
thread as it teaches about anger
management in potentially explosive situations.
All the best.

Although I am against Putin's invasion of Ukraine, his justifiable reasons for doing so notwithstanding, someone like Leonid Nevzlin, however, ought not to be taken seriously by any sane and informed person. Only those who are either outright foolish or ignorant of his person, clique, and company (Yukos oil) and their activities even before Putin's first presidency will side with him.
Yokos oil and its American associate in crime then (Enron Corporation) ruined many individuals and companies globally with their nefarious activities.
Well said... Absolutely! All these Russian-Jewish Oligarchs who
have gone ahead to grab Israeli citizenship are very corrupt.
These guys are notorious for

Prominent figures and many celebrities often deny such speculations because they don't want much attention. Wait and see if it won't take place. Write it down and come back to me when it takes place!
Oba AbdulSaheed Elegusi of
Lagos State married his second wife from Kano (from the Yakassai family who have
Jukun paternal descent) just before the Covid lockdowns started, so there's nothing wrong IMHO in the Oluwo of Iwo getting married to a woman from Kano of Fula or Hausa descent. A few Itapa (Nupe) women have been married into the Oyo
Kingdom in the centuries past.
It's just important to get an official confirmation from the Palace in Iwo Kingdom like other Palaces in
Yorubaland have done.
UPDATE:
Just finally confirmed that the
Wedding will be taking place but
Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi will NOT be there as is the tradition in Yorubaland. She will be brought to the Iwo Palace from Kano.
Hope the Oba treats her well and she too should have a knowledge of
the Yoruba culture she is coming into.
I'm quite dissatisfied with the way the Oba's Canadian-Jamaican
former second wife was treated though. Wishing them the best.

99% of Northerners flooding south are mostly villages who farm during rainy season and go to south and do other businesses like okada, shoe repairs, and other menial jobs after harvesting period except mostly sokoto people who don't care about going back home wherever they find themselves.
There are thousands of Nigeriene who are so often mistaken as Northerners in the South.
True! Many of those who have
flooded into Lagos, Ogun and other
Southern states riding okadas and carrying daggers are majorly from Mali, Niger Republic, Chad, and
Northern Cameroon.
They don't speak Hausa fluently
and people in the South mistake them for Hausas running away from
North-West bandits and BH.
There have been many angry
calls by Lagos residents for those
illegal okada riders from Mali and co to banned for constituting a nuisance. Former Governor Babatunde Fasola of Lagos banned them after 5 Malian okada riders rode against traffic into the
Governor's convoy but they came back when Akinwunmi Ambode was Governor.

Royal Wedding: Oluwo Of Iwo Set To Marry Kano Princess
The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi
The 27-year-old is a niece of Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.
The wedding, which is scheduled to hold on March 19, 2022, will take place at the residence of the Madakin Kano, in Kano.
Firdaus, a granddaughter of the deceased Emir Ado Bayero, will hold a grand reception strictly for ladies at Gidan Rumfa inside the Kano Emir’s palace shortly after the wedding.
Oluwo is remarrying barely three years of divorce from his first marriage with a Jamaican woman.
He became the Oluwo of Iwo in November 2015, at the age of 48.
A letter had trended on social media about a month ago where the Oluwo was allegedly soliciting financial for the wedding from the governor of Osun State.
However, the palace, on 11th February, quickly released a statement to refute the claim, saying the letter was fake and not from the Oluwo.
https://dailytrust.com/royal-wedding-oluwo-of-iwo-set-to-marry-kano-princess
This is a fake story!
The Royal Palace of Iwo has
denied this since February
2022.

The funny thing is that the US has decided not to intervene militarily. I think that will save us from World War III. Ukraine should not have given up its nuclear weapons during the Budapest Memorandum.
I have a contrary opinion here.
India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons but that hasn't stopped both countries from going to war over the ownership of Kashmir.
If Ukraine had those nuclear weapons intact, that egotistic
Vladimir Putin would still have invaded Ukraine in 2022.

You’ve spent quite some amount of money finishing your building…hoping to live happily ever after but some months after moving in, you notice water seeping into the building through the floors. The walls swell, paints peel, dampness takes over and there’s eventually a stench in your house. What could this be??
You are disturbed and try to find a solution but later realise that none is real and lasting, only patching repairs which ends up consuming resources constantly.
A lot of home owners go through this experience nowadays. Many years back you hardly experience such but due to neglect, ignorance or greed water seeps into many buildings, even high-end buildings are not left out.
How could this have been avoided?
The Problem:
The simple issue is that some “contractors” do not follow standards either out of ignorance or desire to make more gain. Building owners may not be aware until its too late.
The culprit:
The culprit is capillary action: that’s the ability of water to rise through a substance.
Example: water rising through a cloth when you dip it in water. If your foundation build-up is not properly done, water will soon rise up through the ground to the floor and walls.
Many foundations are done by laying the floor slab directly over compacted earth. This makes it easy for water to find its way up into the building after a short while.
The Solution:
The solution to this issue is following standards. Its simple and cheaper overall. The correct process after digging and laying your foundation blocks is:
1. Fill foundation with filling sand.
2. After filling, compact the ground. Ramming the ground after water application is required for better compaction.
3. Pour hardcore. This can be rubble or broken blocks. Sand may be used if hardcore is expensive.Hardcore has larger pores than clay thereby
prevents water from ri through the foundation.
4. Apply a bed of sand to receive waterproofing.
5. Apply waterproof membrane. The water proof membrane acts as the final cap/seal such that any dampness that find its way up is stopped.
6. Cast the ground slab using the correct concrete mix for the slab. The correct concrete mix will prevent cracks and will ultimately ensure that
dampness doesn’t find its way in over time.
It’s a futile attempt trying to repair a foundation after the building is done. Following these outlined steps will save you money while giving you the assurance and peace of mind that there will be no dampness in your building throughout its life cycle.
Wishing you success on your building project. Thank You.

Two months notice unto say wetin?
Do you know what you are saying? 2 frigging months notice and you think the other company where you plan to go to, will be willing to wait for you for a whole 60days
You must be a joker
Hey!
Are you AWARE that you spoke in an uncivil manner to me here and said things that I NEVER said or implied?
You're the "joker" here young man! Be civil. Not paying proper attention to little details has cost some people their jobs or loses in investments running into millions
in USD.
You did NOT read my CLEAR posts properly... Learn to read posts well before barging into other people's online convos.
I told the OP that a prior notice of
2 months (or slighly less) should
be given by any staff before leaving a job for another. [i.e., If you plan on leaving a job in the month of
May 2022, give the boss a hint that
you'll be leaving from March 2022].
At the END of the 2 months notice, s/he can conveniently leave for a new job! Period. I've had work experience for over 3 decades in
different capacities, and I'm the CEO of a company with international ties. I gave the OP some advice here because he seemed to me to be a genuine
and likeable person.
Enough said.

Okay, first off, next time, it would
be adviceable for you to give at
least two months notice to your
employer stating that you want
to leave your place of work to
pursue other things or for health
reasons. As an employer myself,
I know that this could be a major
reason why a boss could get upset if the resignation is sudden. The
bosses/HR require this prior notice so that company duties are not
disrupted.
Try to maintain a final exit that
is less filled with tension. It's a small
world and you and your former
employer might need each other's
assistance in the near future.
Forgive him for talking harshly
to your and be the bigger man.
Some employers do not have
emotional intelligence skills for
dealing with their staff and the larger society.
Cheers.

Angy55:
Many married people are daily regretting and cursing their marriages. If you are single, know the reasons why people marry wrong persons and end their marriages in bitter separations or live to endure it.
1. YOU FOCUS MORE ON CHEMISTRY THAN ON CHARACTER
Principle: Never marry someone because you’re in love. Falling in love is a state of temporary psychosis. It is the “delusion of fusion.” Identify the specific character traits you must have in your spouse and know clearly how to asses for each one.
Background checks are essential, Be especially careful to check out the family.
People from warm and loving homes will most likely be emotionally healthy people.
Chemistry means there is physical and sexual attraction.
Compatibility: Looking for sameness: same backgrounds, culture, language, interests,politics etc. Temperament types are important to know.
2. YOU EXPECT HIM OR HER TO CHANGE AFTER YOU'RE MARRIED
The question you must ask is, “Can I live with this person the way he is now and be happy with him?”
Principle: Never marry potential. This implies bad potential. He’s a chronic smoker and drunkard and says he’ll change for you. This is bad potential. If he doesn't change you’ll resent him.
3. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS OF MEN AND WOMEN
This is all about making sure the male-female energies are in sync. Men and women each have one core emotional need. Men want to be respected. Women want to be cherished, which means they want to be protected, provided for, and guided. The ultimate prerequisite for a man to get married is that he is ready to take responsibility. He has to be ready to be a “man.”
4. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING
This means knowing what you stand for in life: Your values, priorities, and goals.
Ideally you should not be considering marriage until you've answered life’s most important question: What am I living for? Two people who have the same life goal have a much greater chance of growing together and staying together in a deeply bonded way. A soul mate is a goal mate.
Principle: The more clearly and narrowly we define ourselves, the better our chance of finding the right person.
Tools: What are we going to build together? What are this person’s life commitments? What does this person stand for? What is he ionate about?
5. YOU GET INVOLVED SEXUALLY TOO QUICKLY
Becoming intimate too soon can be self-defeating because it creates confusion.
• It may create a false sense of commitment and depth.
• It may block you from processing your feelings which is soul-tie
• It may lead to overlooking problems that should not be overlooked.
6. YOU CHOOSE SOMEONE WHO IS ABUSIVE
The definition of an abusive relationship is one in which you are afraid to express your feelings and opinions.
Other indicators:
• You don’t feel emotionally safe.
• You have to monitor what you say.
• You walk on egg shells around this person.
• You don’t feel relaxed and don’t feel you can be yourself.
• The person is demanding, controlling, or communicates with anger and criticism.
7. YOU DO NOT HAVE A CONSISTENTLY POSITIVE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER
A positive emotional connection does not mean you are in love.
Five questions to evaluate if you have a positive emotional connection:
1. Do I respect and ire this person?
2. Do I trust this person in every way and feel I can rely on his or her judgment?
3. Do I feel totally safe with this person (like I feel with my best friend)?
4. Do I truly care about this person and have a desire to give to him or her?
5. Are we open and honest with each other about our feelings and opinions?
Your greatest tool for measuring the quality of the relationship is your feelings.
Principle: Never dismiss anything that bothers you! Process everything that bothers you.
8. YOU DON'T COMMUNICATE WELL
This is very important: You must be sure before you get married that the two of you communicate well.
Good communication means:
1. We can talk openly and honestly about our feelings
2. We listen to each other and make it safe for each other to express ourselves.
3. There is no defensiveness
4. We trust that together we can resolve problems
5. We have confidence in ourselves that we can repair our breakdowns
6. We work well together; we’re a good team
Principle: You must be able to repair breakdowns 100%, which means there is no resentment or bad feelings left over.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is to believe that marriage will heal or fix their deep inner pain. In many cases, marriage will only make the pain greater and more unbearable.

I'm making this thread to shed some light on the journey to becoming a data scientist in Nigeria.
Coming from a non-IT background, being a female, and not having IT professionals to look up to for guidance I mostly had to navigate the entire process myself. It can be tough moving into data science when you have no clue what programming is all about ( I even pronounced Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) as Zero Zero Programming- It was that bad).
I had spent 5 years in Business Development across various industries and had got to a point where I knew that to remain relevant and to get the kind of income/financial freedom I desired then a career switch was inevitable.
Switching to IT was/is the best decision I have made in my career I am elated by my journey and looking back it's hard to believe that the person who had to google pronunciation of programming can now write a Python program.
I'm doing this so women or anyone who finds the process intimidating will realize that it's not impossible and it's a step that is so worth it.

I recently hung out with a group of girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’d like to say that it’s because we’re all busy,so I was grateful to get the opportunity to catch up with my girls.
As usual, those ladies that were single lamented about their nonexistent relationship status. “Where were all the good guys?” “Why do they all live with their mama or have multiple baby mamas?” “How come they don’t have great jobs or make a lot of money?” I quietly sat there listening, not missing any of my single days. However, the more I listened, the more questions formulated in my head. “What constitutes as a great job?” “What is ‘a lot’ of money?” After all, those things are pretty relative, so I was curious to learn what types of guys they were attracting and why they felt these men weren’t good enough.
One friend said, “The doorman in my building asked me out on a date. Can you believe it? Like I’d date ‘the help’.” Suddenly, I began to understand why some of these women were still single.
“What’s wrong with the doorman?” I asked.
“Uh, he’s a doorman,” she responded, as if the answer was obvious.
I followed up by asking if it was just doormen she was against, or any man who was in a service/customer service type of job. After all, “the help” is not limited to doormen, maids, butlers, janitors or any other job that reminds her of “slavery” (her words, not mine). Service industries also include positions within sectors such as hospitality, sales, public health and any other position where your responsibility is to service or be of service to other people. But because those were still considered service industry jobs in a sense, were they too deemed not respectable? “Would she not date a man in any of those fields?” I thought to myself.
What Occupation would stop you from dating or marrying Someone?
Aha, Rubyjade... So you're not
one of the single ladies out there?
Women are hypergamous in nature, while men can marry
women who are below them
in social status. Lol.
I wouldn't marry an "uneducated"
woman regardless of how much
she has though. We have to be
on the same page in of
vision and intellect.

Saw this � online and had to repost.

XXXXXXXXXXXOOOXXXXXXXXXOOOOXXXX
A 37 years old lady chatted me two weeks ago, let's call her Ada. Ada came to me and complained that her husband's best friend from childhood who works in the same office with her husband and earns the same amount of salary saved up money, bought his wife a car and they went to Maldives for her 40th birthday.
Ada said she suspected her husband was cheating on her and he must have been giving money to another woman; that is why he's always broke. She wanted me to post it on my wall so that people will "advise her" on action to take to catch her husband. Because I do not post Junks on my wall, I started asking her some questions.
We did a messenger call. After much questioning and running back-to-back analysis without prejudice, we discovered some things.
Read carefully.
Ada's husband's childhood friend's wife works with a travel agency while Ada sells beads, zips and other tailoring items.
Childhood friend has 2 children. Twin boys of 17 who just entered university. Ada has 5 kids aged 2, 5, 8, 11 and 13.
Childhood friend is the last child out of 3 children, but Ada's husband is the 2nd born but first son out of 6 children.
Childhood friend has no father and mother again, but Ada's husband has a mother but no father.
Mrs Childhood friend's parents are retired Judges, but Ada's parents are in the village.
Mrs Childhood friend has just a younger brother who is an Air force officer and married with 2 kids, Ada has 3 younger siblings who are still struggling.
So suppose Ada's husband earns 300k,
He would pay the school fees of 5 children of which two are toddlers, send money to his mother, sort out one or two bills for some siblings,
While Childhood friend would just pay for 2 children school fees, he has no younger siblings to cater for, his wife's parents are well taken care off, he has no parents to send money to.
Mrs Childhood friend with her knowledge with the travel agency she works with knows when to get good ticket prices, she knows when they get bonus, she knows those countries that offer Visa on Arival like Rwanda, Maldives, Uganda and the Rest. She has no younger siblings to care for so she can save up her salary or commission to grab some last minute flight deals.
But Ada is just zip and button seller; if she sells, she would send money to her siblings.
Both men work and earn the same, but their responsibilities are different... way way different.
By the time I highlighted these to her, she felt guilty. I made sure she saw these because she was the one answering the questions.
Sometimes, before you pressure yourself over someone's achievements, think of the responsibilities you have.
You might earn more than a person who has a flashy car and lives in a good apartment, but you have more responsibilities than that person.
Someone earning 40k might be living your dream life and traveling round the world, but you who is earning 150k would think your village people have tied your destiny.
People would wonder why you don't dress well.
They would mock you that you don't know how to save money or plan your life like them,
They will say upon all your money you can't afford iphone 13 or human hair or nice suits.
Check the bills you have to pay,
Check the things that gulp your money and praise yourself. It's not everyone that even have the luxury of saving.
Some of us as the money comes, if we don't spend it on ourself and eat chicken and fish, our phone will ring and one person is asking for 5k.
You'll be paid 50k and in 30 minutes you're seeing something that resembles 2k in your .
Some of you are actually doing better than you know, but you're so busy looking at other peoples farms and counting their achievements that you can't see yours.
Comparison leads to unhappiness.

THIS IS A DEVELOVING THREAD AND IT IS GOING TO BE A VERY LONG THREAD
In this thread I will be discussing the following headlines
1. What are mushrooms?
2. Why are they so profitable?
3. Greenhouse farming and mushroom cultivation
4. HYBRID VARIETY OF OYSTER MUSHROOMS
5. HARVESTING AND SELLING
6. CASE STUDIES
Finally I will be showing prospective mushroom farmers exactly how to become a part of our big plan growing mushrooms and selling them to us in huge quantities.
Henceforth however I won't refer to it as 'mushroom farmers' anymore, rather, as a way of making it more lucrative and generally acceptable to the youth population, we now call it 'greenhouse agripreneur' [/color]
.
So let's get started. What are mushrooms?
So we all have an idea what mushrooms are but if you care for some scientific explanations here it is;
A mushroom is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface.
One very important clue to derive from this scientific explanation of what mushrooms are is 'spores' mushrooms are propagated by spores.[color=#990000]
Obviously not all mushrooms are edible. Some are in fact very poisonous. This is something you probably know already. What you don't know however is that some species of normally edible mushrooms can become poisonous if they are exposed to conditions that can such reversion from being edible to becoming poisonous. Mushrooms that have been exposed to so much pesticide sprays are a very good example of this. They trap the lethal chemicals in the pesticides or herbicides and never break them down. This is one reason why you need to choose your mushroom strains carefully and properly. This is also one of the reasons why only mushrooms grown using organic cultural methods are acceptable in the export market.
To crown it all, mushrooms are fungi, they grow in the wild where they break down substrates composed mainly or decaying organic matter such as wood. This sort of growth is uncontrolled and yield is definitely very low. For the larger market, mushrooms must be grown indoors in a controlled environment known as greenhouses where optimal environment needed for a massive yield of mushrooms are enabled. Years upon years of researches from microbiologists and mycologists have allowed these optimal conditions to be known although they vary from one specie of mushrooms to the other. While shitakes and button mushrooms require a much more sophisticated substrates/growth medium and environment for growth, oyster mushrooms have been found to do well in relatively simple growth environment and substrates. Oyster mushrooms also have the highest yield per square meter of substrates. In fact a green house sitting on a plot of land can churn out over one thousand kilograms of oyster mushrooms every fourteen days. At an average market price of N2,700 per kilogram of oyster mushrooms, that would be 2.7 million naira every 14 days if properly managed.
I like to assume that my calculations are blown out of proportions (Even though really, they are not) but assuming you are only doing 50% success of that forecast every two weeks they we are still looking at over a million naira which is very hard to believe.

And this is where the second topic comes in. Why are mushrooms so profitable?[/color]
There are quiet a lot of reasons and here are some of the reasons I can think of at the moment. (Honestly Google is your friend. We can't do a full discussion on this topic on just one thread, even microbiologists and mycologists have to study for four years yet they still don't know half of what mushrooms are all about)
1. Mushrooms are in very high demand. Almost all countries on earth are requesting for it in huge numbers
[color=#990000]2. Mushrooms grow fast. It takes only 14 days to reach maturity and it takes about the same number of days to regrow after you harvest them the first time!
3. Yield is very high compared to other agricultural produce.
4. Mushrooms grow on substrates that are waste products of other industries such as saw dusts and wood scrapings from the lumbering industry. You don't spend money on feeds. Yet you get to earn a whole lot. It's like converting wastes to wealth.
5. Mushrooms contain several essential amino acids, proteins, vitamins, etc.. it can very well replace meat in a dish yet it is a plant food at the same time! It is in high demand by pharmaceutical industries.
6. Mushrooms are in high demand by the livestock industry too where they make them into animal feeds and dietary supplements.
7. Diminishing forest reserves and the problem of security have ensured that wild mushrooms are no longer in the market. Demand for greenhouse mushrooms that are safer to consume, neater, more nutritious, etc.. are now in huge demand in the local market
and a whole lot more....
