Only a fool doesn't know that Tinubu inherited a dead economy.

...and only a fool thinks that this economy can be revived overnight.

And only a fool will believe that a corruption personified drug baron and certificate forger is the right person to revive the economy (overnight or long term)

She could say "NO" without necessarily creating that frame mhen... Her reaction sends the wrong signal to her next.

But e shock them sha

Religion and Religious leaders.

Never will I join the conversation. One leader is fake, another is genuine. This religion is better than that one... My dear, "I'm out."

I'm a Christian and I believe God is father of all. ...simple & final...

Wanna argue further? "you're right sir/ma" and I bow out.

Very early on Friday, as it is our (Lagosians) custom to get on the road, I boarded a keke to the park. Beside me was a beautiful lady I almost did not notice until the rough movement of the keke made us slightly stumble on each other due to the sudden gallop of the keke in a pothole; (you know as our road be na). Understanding the condition of the roads, driver's apologies was readily accepted, and of course the "government" conversation started (you can relate, right?).

"This our government sef no get plan for the average Nigerian, all they do is embezzle money for their personal use. See bad roads everywhere..." The driver lamented.

"Are you not the ones that voted them in? Anyways, Thank God I'm #OBIdient now and by God's grace, he'll bring our desired positive change unlike the one promised by the APC." I responded.

For the first the beautiful lady beside me spoke with a sonorous angelic voice, obviously elated and letting go of the Lagosians early morning straight mood, she exclaimed, "You're OBIdient too?!!"

"101%" I responded, and the interesting #OBIdient conversation kicked off till we got to the park, not leaving out the driver (you can imagine it, right?); In fact, the driver is also so OBIdient that at the end of the trip, he willingly asked us to forget the t-fare despite our insistence. We alighted thanking him for his generosity.

Still in the high mood of the conversation, I figured I had to quickly shoot my shot�. "Do you, by chance, sell okro or have anyone around you that does?" I asked.

"No..." she responded quizzically, "but a neighbor of mine does."

"Ohhh!!! No wonder you are drawing my attention?" I teased.

Her teeth came out clear �... She got the gist�... And of course, we exchange numbers��.

Well, cut long story short: From the look of things, our conversation might grow beyond #OBIdient...

U gerrit�

Wisest contribution...

UyaiIncomparabl:
You can help people without trying to bring them into your home. Help them from afar.

I also hope you aren't trying to outdo yourself in the name of "we rise by lifting others" by helping everyone who needs assistance? You'll fall while trying to find your feet.

Be what you want to be in peace, and don't spite her for not following your cause. You'll only be brewing grounds for malice and hate. Learn to balance your home without affecting your relationship with outsiders and vice-versa.

This looked like stage drama to me...

Imagine him introducing the child:
"I'm both the father and grandfather of this child."

What a life...

This government is trying

The eonomy is moving fine

Everybody is enjoying the country

There is food and money everywhere

Buhari has done very well for this country

I don't know why few people are complaining

Like for buhari......share for buhari

Wish he could remain after 2023

It's the sarcasm for me

If they could do this publicly, what do they do to them in the cells
I can't imagine that. Nigerian Youths for the #RevolutionNow call...

What about those being dragged and beaten mercilessly by the rogues called police. I saw a video where they were beaten a lady without an iota of caution in their faces.

This is the question that kept coming to my mind since the day I saw the image of ” ‘who gave you my number’ is sipping jwince”. I couldn’t help but marvel at our level of perversion, not because of the image in itself but because of the mentality that birth the quote on the image.

Here is it; we have been taught to believe that singleness is a crime, that being single is not a good thing, some even see it as a disease, from the teen age, no one is expected to be without a partner and when you are, they make you feel less of yourself. To talk about being single in your early and mid 20s has become a thing of shame, a life you are not proud of, a position you are just not expected to be happy to be in. Everyone see you as an object of pity and wish they could do something to help you out of the state and try things like hooking you up and so on. What then shall we say about people in their late 20s? That is a story for another day cos where do I start from? Your matter becomes a prayer point.

“Being single for more than 6months straight is tragic” another one I stumble on recently and couldn’t get off my mind. Wondering why I can’t stop asking who has bewitched us, bah? He ended by saying “for 6months nobody told you ‘goodnight I love you’ even if it’s a lie?” and I wonder when I need to be in a relationship for the sole reason of hearing someone say he loves me and be contented enough not to care that he doesn’t mean it, I mean “who meaning it epp? As long as I can hear the I love you, that’s quite enough right?” No, it’s not meant to be, not at all.

Relationships are seen as an escape route from loneliness, from low self esteem, from unfulfilled dreams, from a broken heart, from emotional wretchedness. Like it’s the only way to get attention now, uhn?! Let’s come off it, people.

I’ve seen fulfilled single, singles who has done well to make impact in their world, guys who has done so well for themselves and has never been in any relationship in their late 20s. Ladies in their early 30s, single and fulfilled that it takes a man worthy of their attention to get it. People comfortable in their own skin enough to know who deserves them. People sold out into so many healthy relationships with both male and female gender to worry about not having a romantic relationship with anyone. Those who know their worth so much to not settle for an every night ‘I love you’ that could most likely be a lie. People who knows the place of privacy to the point of asking anyone “how did you get my number, please” if need be when they get random calls from strangers. People with so full emotional tank that doesn’t need to wait for a “good morning my love” message from a person before they step out knowing they are loved, cherished, admired and celebrated.

No man is an island is a true fact but it doesn’t mean everyone that will help you get to the climax of your life or ensure your growth must be someone you are in a relationship with. Not at all. This is the place of creating healthy relationships and ensuring you are investing in them (time most importantly)

Why am I saying all this? I’ve seen pathetic singles, singles you will cry with��‍♀️ people engrossed in getting married at certain age and getting tired of life because it’s not forthcoming. I’ve seen people agreeing to settle for less than they deserve in a relationship in the name of “I’m getting old, my mates are all married”. I’ve seen people putting a full stop on their goal and life pursuit because they are single and their family is expecting them to bring a partner home. Truth is it happens mostly to the female gender. I know of some persons thinking of bringing down their moral standard because they are tired of waiting for the one who will help them uphold it, why? It’s getting late. (Abeg, who fixed the time?��‍♀)

Societal pressure keeps everyone on their toes. When it enters the family, ehn! It’s story for another day. We are all in a rat race that leads nowhere in the name of pleasing people around us, satisfying that crave or becoming like everyone else.

Hey! Look here, kindly enjoy your single life all you want, my dear. It’s a period of personal growth and development, use it wisely.

Hope say im no go chop bench tire like this

Rev. E A Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, took to his twitter page to celebrate his beloved wife's birthday on July 13. He advised younger ladies to emulate the virtues in her that, as he noted, were responsible for sustaining their over 50years marriage.
He further made statements about his role as the head and her responsibilities to submit under his authority that were met with controversies by self acclaimed feminists on twitter.

A young lady, named goddess, expressed her unapologetic opinion to Baba's perceived "overbearing masculinity" with the word "Ode jati jati". (A yoruba word best interpreted as STUPID FOOL)

What is your opinion on the subject matter?
Could she have expressed herself better or was she just disrespectful?

OMG!!!!
This is truly revealing... Had to sit with a wiser elder who is wist of details described.
Be it as it may, the past is gone; our (current generation) teeth needn't be set on edge for the sour grape taken by our fathers.

Way forward remains either TRUE FEDERALISM (if we wanna maintain Nigeria) or SECESSION (if need be).

God bless O'dua People
God bless Niger Delta
God bless Arewa
God bless Biafra
God bless NIGERIA

The meme that got social media, twitter especially, bubbling recently with a lot of comments, shares, likes & laughter: "Who Gave You My Number" Is Sipping Jwince.
Did you just say you haven't seen it Really!!! then you probably have boring contacts (smiles: just kidding).
Let me help your imagination (I intentionally exclude the pix): it's an "innocent" picture taken by a group of friends obviously, 3 pretty ladies and 2 gentlemen, with the gentlemen having a lady each sit by him in a couple-like fashion, thereby leaving the third lady all by herself with a cup of juice. Someone somewhere found this picture and posted it with the caption: 'WHO GAVE YOU MY NUMBER' IS SIPPING JWINCE...
Indeed hilarious, isn't it?
You still don't get it�? Well, the meme creator was kinda 'attacking' ladies that seem to disregard guys' advances through various attitudes and 'harsh' responses, one of the commonest being "WHO GAVE YOU MY NUMBER?" or "HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?" if called by a strange guy who tries to woo them.
Sé you get now? (Oya, start laughing at yourself now�)

Now the real gist:
The meme caption implies that had the lady been better responsive to guys' advances, she wouldn't be in such 'pathetic single' state sipping juice all by herself while others are enjoying the moment with their partners (maybe the pix was taken by her boo self; who knows?�? that's not even my concern). This got us (my sister and I) thinking aloud.
Our major concern is about the wrong notion the meme attached to SINGLENESS and the burden it yokes on SINGLES.

Questions arising include, but not limited to:

i. How sure are you that she's not more emotionally balanced, happier and/or even more life conscious than the others?
ii. Does she not have to right to question a stranger calling her line? (Scammers full everywhere now, remember)
iii. Who says a relationship is what she (or anyone else) needs to bring happiness and fulfilment?
iv. Aren't there more important things to life than thoughts of a partner?
v. Who says you can't be happy and enjoy life to the fullest with or without a boo?

I've heard of a young, vibrant, intelligent lady who was lamenting and almost entering a state of depression all because she has not been in a relationship in the past 6-7 months. And another who insisted on continuing marriage plans with a physically abusive 'beast' of a man all because she's getting old, her peers are all married and she doesn't want to miss her 'last & only' opportunity. (makawhy�)

The bedeviling mentality about singleness being a state of sadness and loneliness is what is keeping some in futile and hopeless relationships irrespective of the hurt, pain, abuse, unfulfillment, purposelessness, insecurities and sadness they struggle with therein.

Unlike popular opinion, Singleness isn't a disease, it's season of growth, a state of personal discovery and development. In fact, enjoying any kind of relationship with people is easier if your singleness is well lived and you're less likely going to make mistake in choosing the right partner if your singleness is topnotch.

I'm sure not insinuating too high standards, or perfection, in accepting a suitor, but that your acceptance shouldn't be as a result of societal pressure or self imposed deadlines or just a means out of loneliness; you may be disappointed.

In a nutshell, never be ashamed, disappointed or disgruntled about your Singleness (if single) because being alone isn't the same as being lonely. Being alone is a physical state, being lonely is a state of the mind. Enjoy "sipping your jwince" jare.

Do both concurrently. Stay online to make the part of the 300k you could make and spend the remaining time in school. School isnt for the certificates, it will help you develop your mind. Cheers.

I concur to this opinion... The best option man

Will Femi ever be able to walk on the streets after 2023?
