@getpocketapp Hi! I made a transaction a few days ago and it's yet to reflect in my pocket balance. I tried reaching out by call but your agent went mute on me and the number has not connected ever since.
Can we normalise having people over to play games like Scrabble, Monopoly, Jenga, chess, video games, and cards while we drink and cook?
Not clubbing and definitely not truth or dare!!!!
The amount of HIV/AIDS, Herpes, hepatitis, syphilis, gonorrhea etc that these terrorists are giving to their victims
Nigeria is imploding but we are still posting memes and making skits
There's this very wealthy African businessman, true story, who accumulated his wealth through the most violent exploitative way possible. He would rip people off their land and resources in his community and make their children serve him.
Initially, he had no plans of giving his servants freedom. He was getting a lot of hits for it. So he eventually figured out a way to give them “fake” freedom just to pacify critics.
But that's where it gets interesting. Once any of the boys is “freed,” he would find a way to insert himself in their business just so he can remotely control it. His goal is to ensure they are never established so they can depend on him forever. Depending on him makes him more and more powerful for as long as that arrangement lasts.
So as one of his ex-boys, if you start doing well on your own, you will die mysteriously or something bad happens to your business. If you allow him to control your affairs, including choosing your wife and employees, who would sabotage you from within to make sure his interference caps your growth, you will be just fine.
He insists you don't manufacture your own products, and positions himself as your only supplier. He allows you to sell him your raw materials, but he’s the only one to refine and sell them to you all at his fixed prices. If you try to manufacture on your own or change suppliers, something bad happens to you.
I have a question: when these ex-boys of his fail to succeed (which is the case, unless you want to pay with your life), who do you blame? Them or the master?
Now replace the wealthy African man with the West, and his boys with African nations. That is colonialism and neocolonialism explained. I had to use a wealthy African man as an example, because Africans have been socialized to only understand a crime when it’s committed by someone who looks like them. They have been conditioned to never see anything wrong in whatever the white man does.
This is why decolonization is a MUST before Africa can progress.
Omor i just woke up now and realised that to fill 50 litres of a Corolla car during President Obasanjo's regime cost ₦3,750. During Yar'Adua's time, it became ₦3,250. During Goodluck Jonathan's time, it was ₦4,350. During Buhari's regime, it was ₦11,900. Now under the current President Tinubu's regime, to fill 50 litres of a Corolla car is now ₦61,350, and you tell me this man is the hope Nigerians should have for a better future? How d/mb can some of you supporters of tifinubu be?
what a fucking greedy idiot!

all these are businesses that have been linked to that man... your generation is never knowing poverty again. so why are you hell bent on making our lives hard??
Your “husband” did not send you money for YEARS because you didn’t change the name on your bank account to his and whenever he still gives you cash he gives you half of what you need to teach you lesson
Una dey really marry😂
I NEEDED a C-section. Baby was in distress. Heart rate dropping.
OB:
“Let’s try longer.”
“You’re strong.”
“You don’t want the scar.”
“Natural birth is better bonding.”
My baby’s heart rate kept dipping.
Nurse whispered, “If your husband requests it, we can move faster.”
So he did.
Suddenly the OR was ready.
Because a man saying “cut” is decisive.
A woman saying “I’m scared” is emotional.
I don’t care for the whole conversation but isn’t this the same way you people talk about football stars and clubs like they’re your brothers and you are founders there or something and some don’t shame you for it. If I didn’t know better, I’d think Ronaldo and others were y’all homeboys or something.
So I’m not sure why you guys are acting weird and corny over Nigerian girls wanting to talk about an artist they listen to… you people literally try to shit talk almost everything women enjoy. You did it with BBN, Love island, heck even K-dramas.
Rest abeg. Let people be. And yes, let everyone get their PVC 👍
While going home on the 13th of this month, at about 10:15pm, I drove past Dantata Bridge and noticed a young lady standing there with some luggage.
Instantly, I remembered how I was robbed at that same spot in 2022. Because of that, I reversed to find out why she was standing there, and also to warn her about how dangerous that place can be at night.
When I got to her, I realised she was a lady I met in church last December during our parish Christmas carol. I asked why she was standing there at such an hour. She said she was just returning from the East.
Apparently, their bus broke down on the road, which was why they entered Abuja late. She was standing there trying to book an Uber home.
I asked which direction she was heading. Luckily for her, it was my axis, and her estate is not very far from mine. So I dropped her off at her estate gate and continued to my house.
What surprised me was that she never called or sent a message to check if I got home safely. Two weeks passed, and I concluded that she wasn’t a nice person.
Just yesterday, I went out to get lunch and I saw her. This time, I pretended I didn’t see her. She walked up to my table, greeted me, and said, “I know you’re very angry that I didn’t call you that night to check if you got home safely. I misplaced my phone that night and I don’t even know where it is.”
At that point, I was convinced she was lying because I had seen her booking an Uber that same night. So I didn’t give her a friendly look.
She noticed, but didn’t push further with the apology.
She simply gave a soft smile and said her break was over and she needed to get back to work.
Now here’s the part that just humbled me.
While on break today, I took my car to the car wash. While cleaning under the seat, the guy handed me a phone he found there.
Guess whose phone it was?
Ada, I hope this post somehow gets to you. I’m sorry for not believing you, even when you had no reason to lie. I would have brought the phone to your house, but I don’t know where exactly you stay.
If you see this, please meet me by the grotto side after 8am Mass on Sunday.
Kindly help me repost 🙏, so Ada can see this.
