suicide sounds good until you remember that you can fail and genuinely end up worse than dead

Your job in Lagos might not be stressful but you see the commuting? You’d almost faint.

I have mastered the art of agreeing with everyone on the team

Anything you tell me , I gree.

This job market is not the market to disagree and protest

[Mayyrhee⚖️👩‍⚖️📚 @mayy_rhee]

I can’t wait to join the category of people whose one month salary can pay their yearly rent.

We’ve heard a lot.
We’ve weathered the storms.
And we’re still here. 💚

From 2018 to now, we’ve only grown stronger.
But before we show you what’s next, let’s take a look at just how far we’ve come.
Stay with us!

Dear Nigerians, I need you to help me get @MTNNG attention as every means we have tried has failed. Help me repost as many times as possible.

Six days ago, my household purchased MTN fibre X because the remote job my sister got requested for a fibre network and specifically running at 300mbps. This was a criteria for getting the job which was to start on Monday, 7th of September, 2026.

MTN sent an installer to my house and after installation, the guy confirmed it was working and running on 50mbps, we immediately corrected him that we paid for the premium plan, a hundred thousand naira, which is 300mbps, while the basic plan (50mbps) is 30 thousand naira.

He simply said, that's a back end problem, my job here is done.

Since Last week Saturday till now MTN has refused to do anything about it. We have called their care line over 300 times and have sent series of emails. We have sent several messages here on X per their request, yet they leave us hanging the moment we send the details they need with no tangible solution or response.

One week has gone out of a one month plan my sister has been unable to use. I beg MTN To either refund us, or fix this situation and the data must start counting from when it was fixed.

MTN at this point send your installer to come and take the router away, the same way you sent them to install it. @MTNNG

can confirm!

a couple of years ago 'my sister' called me, she was in transit and their car broke down. they have found a mechanic but she couldn't pay him because there was no network. i think she asked for 90k, which wasn't a lot.

[Abomination @Abomination81]

Just had the creepiest scam ever happen 20 minutes ago.

I got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas.

Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla. Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about gas I would have fallen for it.

I entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, I was so confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake. The responses were too fast for ai, I think it was a voice filter. I wish I had thought to record it.

The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones, do verbal passwords with your kids.

Bit taken aback

[Àrẹ̀mọ Yusuf Àlàbí Balógun @AremoGemini]

Some of you are actually very insane in this country. Because why are you sharing the video of that mother molesting her child? What exactly do you intend to achieve by distributing the video? What kind of perverted, stupid people do I get to share a nationality with ffs?

[NAPTIP @naptipnigeria]

We urge the public to desist from sharing or circulating the material, as doing so may further harm the child and compromise ongoing efforts to address the case.

[NAPTIP @naptipnigeria]

We have received several reports concerning a disturbing video allegedly showing a lady abusing a minor. The Agency’s Cybercrime Response Unit has commenced an investigation into the matter.

Perhaps one of the biggest problems Nigerians have is forgetfulness.
If you deny Nigerians light for 7 days and you give them light one day on the 8th day, They will forget the previous 7 days.

Apparently this needs to be repeated again but you will become disabled in your lifetime. No, it doesn’t matter how much you work out. As you age, you inherently become disabled. Temporary disability is also a thing. Working out doesn’t prevent that and never will.

Nigerians don’t believe in consequences.
Just blame the devil and call it a day.

[AforAraba @suechefff]

As an assertive woman, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard men tell me that they can’t wait to see the man I finally end up with or as someone said the man who finally “bends” me.
