Why do you people tell a lot of lies on this app ?

[DC @Dc_Atuegwu]

A woman in my church refused to change to her husband’s surname for 2 years after marriage

The man kept begging her to process a new international passport with his name, but she refused and insisted she wanted to continue using her father’s name.

Eventually, the man got tired and stopped talking about it.

Now fast forward to recently…

An international opportunity came up at the man’s workplace and he was allowed to travel with his wife

That was when Madam suddenly started begging to do the surname change and process a new passport quickly

The man's response now is:
“I don’t care again. I won’t include you in my application.”

Now the woman has been crying and telling Pastor to help her beg him"

homens depois de criar um sistema onde patrimônio é valor de um homem e agora eles precisam de patrimônio pra ter valor

[Palm Tree 🌴 @6footBarefoot]

The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?
The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things.
Let's be serious please.

Is that what she is using at home?

[Ossy Vincent @ossynoya]

Let’s all just keep pretending we are in still in a country because it’s not gotten close to home yet or someone we know.

These terrorists have declared war on Nigerians and the president of Nigeria is unbothered and only go slider on reelection.

Accidentally re-inventing “thinking” from first principles

[AgricQueen @ChimdiIbeawuchi]

In 2017, I traveled to China to source automated agricultural equipment for a commercial farming project. My focus was on battery cages, feed milling systems, and silos.

After a week of visiting different Manufacturers and Factories I couldn’t find a Battery Cage System that wasn’t Power dependent- They entire world was using Fully Automated Battery Cage System.

One young CEO became genuinely frustrated with me when I told him-His Automated Battery Cages (with sensors and temperature regulators) wouldn’t work for me because I didn’t have Electricity.
When I explained that reliable electricity was not available in Nigeria, he thought I was exaggerating. To him, uninterrupted power was such a basic requirement for business that the absence of it seemed impossible.

He asked, “How do Survive”? So I showed him on Baidu and he genuinely felt sorry for me.

Even my translator, Cherry, struggled to understand what I meant. We eventually had to research it online before she accepted that a country of over 200 million people could have such a fundamental infrastructure gap.

After further investigation, she helped us locate a manufacturer in Henan Province that produced semi-automated systems specifically for African markets—equipment designed to operate despite unreliable power supply.

Nine years later, the situation remains largely unchanged.

I still do not have Electricity in any farm I own or have helped develop.

[sopuruchi @sopuruchn]

Nigeria is such a good edge case to consider when creating, because if this was designed for a Nigerian context, there would have been a latch to release to return it to its original position.

Instead of doomscrolling all day, spend your day learning end-to-end Nigerian History from the 9000s to date.

The Sokoto Caliphate is not the earliest documented existence of Nigeria, nor is the Oyo Empire.

This is a dangerous stereotyping and no part of it is funny. @Trevornoah should know better than this.

The story sounds a bit off. And if it did happen, I’m certain Nigeria wasn’t the only country where said vulnerability was exploited.
