As a woman, if a man is asking you out on a date, you should never expect him to pay for your hair, nails, or clothes. That’s your personal upkeep and your responsibility, not something tied to a date. A date is about sharing time and getting to know each other, not covering someone else’s lifestyle costs. If a man chooses to give, it should come from genuine generosity, not expectation or obligation.
Religious rulers need bad governance for them to be able to sell cheap miracles.
Political rulers need religious rulers to help keep the people subdued so they cannot make demands on the political rulers.
It is a symbiotic relationship!
Here we go again with the usual spiritualization of everything.
There is nothing about fertility, health and money that is determined "only" by God.
Even animals and insects have sex and procreate. If a couple cannot procreate, there is an issue with both or one of them.
For money, those who understand the laws of increase will make money whether they believe in a God or not.
For health, people who fail to take care of themselves will most likely get sick. If you are always consuming sugar and processed food, you will get sick. Nothing concern God inside.
When women mock Alabi for supposedly being impotent, it's memes and laughing emojis.
When men mock his wife for supposedly being barren it's "cruel" and "unfair"
It is only in the second case, twitter doctors remember their degrees.
Fucking idiots
The average Nigerian faces a fundamental problem that goes beyond economics or infrastructure:
This lady came out lamenting that her ₦10 million house she rented was on the verge of flooding. Her distress was genuine until she looked around and saw that her neighbors were suffering even more. At that point, her tone shifted. She burst into laughter, visibly relieved and almost comforted by the comparative misfortune.
This moment is telling. Even amid personal hardship, the reflex is not solidarity or collective urgency, but quiet satisfaction that “at least I’m not the worst off.” Progress becomes measured less by real improvement and more by staying one step ahead of the next person. The result is a society where shared problems persist because the incentive is rarely to solve them together, but simply to endure them slightly better than others.
*EVERY* ridiculous expectation the Nigerian woman has was created by the Nigerian man
from billing
to push gifts
to date dress
to uber fare for date
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
When we're done criticising them online, we will go offline and continue to feed the monsters we made. When we see those who refuse to feed them, we will call them misogynists
Tor...
You are losing sleep because someone your age bought a house on the TL, forgetting that some people's parents are the ones funding the "independent" lifestyle. Run your own race.
You said akara business is very profitable, that the woman selling akara is making at least 150k monthly— that’s more than the current minimum wage.
I said okay, let me give you some capital & give your mother to start selling akara. You said I’m being disrespectful.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suddenly, pseudo intellectuals are pushing the dubious narrative that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are sustainable means of livelihood.
How about groundnut and sachet water business? They should include them too.
The defenders of this wicked regime are telling us that Remi Tinubu has donated billions of Naira to NGOs.
First, they should tell us where she got such money from.
Second, they should provide the names and locations of the benefiting NGOs, and verifiable evidence that the donations have been properly utilized.
The advocates of akara economy should set up this business for their siblings and family members to demonstrate the efficacy of their postulations.
Since your mother sold akara to train you, why haven’t you opened akara factory for your wife, daughters, sons and political associates to promote and sustain your mother’s entrepreneurial legacy?
With the collapse of public education, how many akara sellers in this country currently can afford to pay their children’s tuition in private schools?
How many akara sellers can pay the rising costs of tertiary education and healthcare?
How many akara sellers can afford to pay the rising rents in Nigeria today?
How many akara will one sell to be able to buy fuel?
If akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are viable and sustainable microeconomic investments in Tinubu’s Nigeria, let the defenders of Tinubu show us members of their families that are engaged in this enterprise.
The point is not that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli aren’t necessary foods, the point is that we are all witnesses to how the Tinubu family has amassed wealth and captured state power to entrench and further their selfish and greedy ambitions.
We have seen the insane convoy of Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and their benefactor in Aso Rock.
It is deceitful and disrespectful for the same family that is living in opulence, amidst the ravaging and dangerous hunger in the country, to be pushing akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli economy.
Bola Tinubu’s regime has been a wasteful and disastrous experiment.
We have seen how he is destroying our economy. But his annoying and power monger wife feels she can lecture the victims of their misrule and incompetence about the viability of the akara economy.
Enough of the silly expositions.
You people are too wicked. The life you don't wish for your children is what you wish for other people's kids.
Where does it end? Dont you have conscience?
The reason your mother fried Akara to send you to school is so that you can be a better citizen of the society and have a fighting chance against poverty. She didn't do it for you to come online and defend frying of Akara as economic empowerment. Don't waste her efforts.
Millions of Nigerians contribute to Ajo or Esusu every month, putting in N30,000 and trusting the collector to return exactly what was contributed after twelve months. After a year of discipline, you collect back N360,000. Exactly what you put in and not one naira more. And that is assuming the collector does not disappear with everyone’s contributions, which still happens regularly across this country.
Take that same N30,000 monthly discipline and put it into a proper investment platform earning 18% annually instead. After twelve months you have N397,105, already N37,105 more than Ajo gave you for the exact same monthly sacrifice.
Extend that discipline to three years. Ajo gives you back N1,080,000, exactly what you deposited. The investment platform gives you N1,439,553. A difference of N359,553 for doing the same thing, just through a different vehicle.
Ajo built financial discipline in our parents’ generation and that discipline deserves respect. But discipline without growth is just delayed spending. The same trust you place in your Ajo collector, place instead in a regulated investment platform, and let your money actually work while you sleep instead of simply waiting for you.
