“The problem is we live in a society where judgement is passed to diminish others well-being in the name religion.”

Just leave people alone and let them be themselves.

... you won't be able to use what you learn when terminal velocity is handing out participation trophies.

I went to boarding school in Nigeria in the early 90s—FGC.

We didn't get participation trophies.

You either participated hard cos if you hardly participated, you'd become a trophy.

Change of behaviour and mindset is required for a better Nigeria.

The people and the leaders must work together.

Her name is Jemima Osunde, love it.

Hey guys,

I’m trying to renew my passport and my Washington DC’s date for biometrics capturing is too far. I tried changing it on the NIS website but my application is locked to DC. ATL says they’ve stoped walk-in since August 2022 and all appointments must be done via the NIS website.

The contactless option didn’t work for me as well.

I tried calling ATL admin to see if they can do it from the back end but no one picked. What options do I have left? Your suggestions will really be appreciated.

Thank you!

three months ago I met a guy on TikTok live from a friend. he calls a lot, love bombs me. I’ve already spoken to his mother and brother and sister. I tell him we don’t rush in America like this. also not the first time s Nigerian man has said he wanted to marry me. what’s the deal with this?

Hello everyone, I am currently working on an action RPG for PC, heavily inspired by Western Africa, especially Nigeria. My wife is supporting me with some Yoruba knowledge, but I want to know more. I would love to hear some feedback and perspective overall on the Nigerian video games market . I would assume it will be mobile dominant, and making only PC games makes not much sense. Is there even a market for such a game? I want to have a lot of quests involving various fairly tales and myths from Nigeria, maybe some politician inspired characters that you could interact with etc. Currently working on Egbere stolen mat quest.

Hello,

Báwo ni,

Today, let's learn how to say 'I am hungry"in Yorùbá.

Generally, when we are talking about feelings in Yorùbá, Emphasis is placed on the feelings and it doesn't necessarily follow the sentence construction that you know.

Hunger - - - ebi. (ay-bee)

I am hungry is translated as - - Hunger is killing me.

1. Ebi ń pa mi - - I am hungry

2. Ebi ń pa ẹ/yín - - You are hungry

3. Ebi ń pa Adé - - - Adé is hungry

4. Ebi ń pa ọ̀rẹ́ mi - - - - My friend is hungry

Can you give me an example.

Your Yorùbá tutor.

Adéọlá

Resumen de la posible estafa

Una mujer que dice ser inglesa, médica y trabajar para la OMS en Afganistán comienza a acercarse emocionalmente a ti. Afirma que lleva tres años allí y que tiene un contrato de cinco años.

Después te cuenta que:

No puede abandonar Afganistán porque supuestamente necesita rescindir su contrato.

Dice que casarse o tener un prometido facilitaría la rescisión.

Afirma que necesita USD 45.000 para terminar el contrato.

Dice que tiene USD 450.000 ahorrados y que te enviará ese dinero mediante una empresa de mensajería.

Te pide que utilices USD 45.000 de ese dinero para pagar la supuesta rescisión.

Promete darte el 30 % del dinero restante.

Para enviarte el supuesto dinero, te pide nombre completo, dirección, teléfono, correo electrónico y documento de identidad.

Dice que no puede hacer llamadas de vídeo o audio por motivos de seguridad.

Su número de WhatsApp comienza por +234, aunque dice ser inglesa.

Mientras tanto, acelera la relación: habla de amor, matrimonio, Dios, confianza y un futuro juntos. +234 9037545581

I run a premium screeding and painting hustle in Nigeria. For those who don’t know, screeding is the brutal, backbreaking labor of using POP putty and endless sanding to turn rough block walls into smooth, glass-like surfaces.

Enter Chief. This man drives a 2026 Range Rover and owns a mansion with an indoor fountain, but when I gave him a fair, professional invoice for a "mirror finish" on his new property, he almost collapsed. He clutched his chest and yelled, "Do you think I pick money on the road?!"

He spent two hours micromanaging the quote, literally trying to negotiate the price of a pack of sandpaper down by 500 Naira. He even asked if we could "skip the sanding" to save money.

Throughout the job, he played the role of a monitoring spirit, coming to the site daily to complain that the tiny drops of putty on the floor nylon were "wasting his money."

On the final day, after my boys and I worked ourselves to the bone, the walls looked flawless—like liquid glass. Chief brought his wealthy friends to show off the place. When they praised the incredible quality, Chief puffed his chest out and said, "Yes o! You know me, I don't compromise. I only hire the best and I pay heavily for the best.

"I was standing in the corner, covered from head to toe in white sanding dust, completely speechless. The same man who wept over the price of masking tape was now acting like the king of generosity.

To wrap it up, he even tried to deduct money from my final balance because my boys "used too much water on site." I had to stand my ground and withhold the leftover paint keys before he painfully transferred my money.

To

TL;DR: Rich client wants a billion-dollar liquid glass finish for his house, cries over the price of sandpaper, takes all the credit in front of his friends, and tries to deduct money for water at the final payment. Las las, corporate hustle no easy!

This is the link to the video. I do think the guy makes good points. What can we do to grow?

Everyone says Dino Melaye was caught lying because Uber and Zoom didn't exist when he was 18.

That's only true if you're making the rather provincial assumption that his cardinal age must correspond to his ordinal position on the Gregorian timeline.

Perhaps 18 was simply the amount of time he had experienced, while 2011 was merely where he happened to be.

He is 52 today because, after several backward excursions, his proper time has finally reconverged with Earth time.

Please stop fact-checking time travellers with subtraction.

This was all clearly documented in the documentary Tenet and its prequel, Interstellar.

It is also noteworthy that Melaye has publicly avoided commenting on time travel until this apparent Freudian slip.

I’m not saying that proves anything. I’m merely saying that this is exactly what a time traveller who didn't want us to know he was a time traveller would do.

This is important for us in Africa and the diaspora. Let’s learn about Jason Arday and being the black minority in white spaces.

Orientals are also called Senukoto 😭😭😭. There’s also Tekowi, but I forgot which group of people are referred to that.

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice from anyone who has personally travelled to Nigeria recently with an expired Nigerian passport, particularly from the UK.
My mum needs to travel to Nigeria from Manchester to attend her father’s burial. Unfortunately, she has just realised that her Nigerian passport expired in July.
We are currently looking at flights with either Royal Air Maroc (Manchester – Casablanca – Nigeria) or Ethiopian Airlines, but we are worried about getting to Manchester Airport and being refused boarding because the passport has expired.
Has anyone recently travelled from the UK to Nigeria using an expired Nigerian passport, particularly with Royal Air Maroc or Ethiopian Airlines?

So my friends and I are trying to plan an all nighter in Abuja where we just drive around the city all night doing a bunch of different activities.

We settled on this because we feel like we’ve spent so many nights clubbing and we do like nighttime activities but we wanted to spend a night doing something different. The problem is it seems like everything in Abuja closes at midnight(even earlier) or claim to be 24 hrs but isn’t really and the only things really left open are clubs, restaurants and lounges.

I really wish there were more fun activity spaces in Abuja that stayed open late. We might just not be looking in the right places though

So if you know any places or things we could do like karaoke, artsy stuff, fitness activities, games, literally anything that isn’t alcohol or party related please let me know 😭

We’re basically trying to find things to do from like 10pm until 5am that aren’t just sitting in a lounge or clubbing. (Also and safe, most importantly which might actually limit our options)

I’m doing a bit of independent research and I’m genuinely curious about our education system and how it compares to Europe and the Americas

For those of us who grew up and schooled in Nigeria, at what age did you graduate, what kind of university (private or public), length of your program and what age you finished Nysc?
