This is one of the most touching stories of someone that did drugs.
WE ARE NOT THUGS @RectorPascal. found her on the Streets on Shitta.
See her transformation. You won't believe. SARAH
She said WAEC should cost N250,000.
But how do you increase the fee without showing what the current billions are spent on?
Then ask Nigerians to pay more without showing the accounts?
Nothing builds trust like paying back what you borrowed.
People are more willing to help someone who has shown they can be trusted. Don’t wait until you’re in a tight spot before you realize the value of keeping your word.
Which of these everyday habits is actually a massive hidden risk factor for developing GALLSTONES?
A) Eating too much spicy food
B) Skipping meals frequently
C) Drinking ice-cold water
D) Eating late at night
Most patients get this confused when I explain this to them.
Abeg don't trigger me this morning... Many young people in my generation staked their lives, career and purpose on every word this dude said or wrote. Every time he said "God Said" or "The Holy Spirit told me", people literally took it as a decree from God.
To come back decades later and seek forgiveness for FAKE PROPHECIES is so so convenient.
“There were times I thought God had showed me something but He wasn’t”.
“There were prophecies I gave that weren’t accurate and weren’t from God. And for that, I wish that people will forgive me as I’m only human”
-Benny Hinn.
A leading father of the prosperity gospel.
“Just look at the asset forfeitures involving former Attorney General Abubakar Malami and Aisha Achimugu. What’s actually happening in this country? On December 23, 1974, Nigeria signed a long-term agreement with the World Bank while we contributing $240 million to its reserves. We were lending money then, but today we're borrowing from other countries because people have løøted the nation dry.”😢🇳🇬💔
—Rufai Oseni of Arise News got emotional on live TV as he laments the state of Nigeria's economy, comparing the country's financial strength in the 1970s with today economy.
I watched an episode of The Honest Bunch a few days ago, the one where they had Portable as a guest. Before you judge me and ask why I would watch a podcast where Portable is a guest, understand that only a fool believes there is nothing to learn from another man. Portable, whatever your opinion of him, has made a name for himself. It follows, then, that I would want to hear him speak, if only to understand him, or at the very least, be entertained.
As the conversation went on, the hosts asked him a number of questions. Whenever they praised him or spoke about his success, he seemed eager to answer, happy to engage. But the moment they brought up his dropping out of school or his many public clashes, truths as obvious as sunlight, his demeanour changed. He became uneasy, almost offended. The hosts sensed it immediately and, wisely, steered the conversation back to safer ground. They returned to his achievements, to the things that celebrated him, and almost at once his mood changed. He smiled again. He became willing to talk.
I’ll leave you to decide for yourselves whether that is the disposition of a strong man or a weak one.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic once said something that has stayed with me. He recalled going through David Beckham’s playlist one day and chuckling at the songs he found there. Beckham, noticing the grin on his face, asked what was so funny. Zlatan, in his usual braggadocious fashion, smiled and said something to the effect of, “It’s beautiful to see that despite your good looks and all the places where people think you’re almost superhuman, there is still somewhere you fail miserably.”
My mind went back to that story because I believe the same thing is happening here with Jim. Despite all his articulateness, despite the poise with which he carries himself, despite the breadth of his exposure, his thinking is, unfortunately, no better than that of the average Nigerian.
This movie perfectly summarizes what we debate about every day on social media. Until you live this reality, you may never truly understand it. Unfortunately, many women are trapped in this madness and continue to make excuses for it.
What you repeatedly allow may become what you’re expected to endure for the rest of your life. That’s why it’s important to be clear and insistent about the kind of partnership you want.
My husband and I both work corporate 9-to-5 jobs. We have two children, and neither person’s career is more important than the other’s. I completed my MS program as a wife and mother because I refuse to be left behind while everyone else moves forward. We are a team.
In the morning, we wake up and head in different directions. He goes to the kids’ room to get them ready while I head downstairs to clean up and prepare breakfast.
In my absence, he can microwave the food I’ve already cooked, bathe the kids, dress them, and take care of whatever needs to be done. And my “absence” doesn’t always have to mean I’m doing something important. I could be running errands, at the gym, enjoying the spa, or simply taking personal time for myself without worrying that everything at home will fall apart.
The same applies when he’s absent. The house will continue to function 100%.
Nobody is “helping” the other person raise their own children or manage their own home. We are both responsible for the family we created.
That is partnership!
People were left stunned after teachers were seen looking amazing in an event. Notice how everyone knows the difference between work clothes and personal outfits?👏🏾🔥
We were here when E Money gifted Carter Efe and Peller brand new cars. They destroyed the cars during a live stream, went back to him, and he gave them more money, embraced them, and patted them on the shoulders for a job well done.
Then there is Alex Onyia, who has been doing remarkable work in education across the South East. He continues to identify and support some of the brightest minds, inspire millions of young people to pursue academic excellence, and consistently advocate for better welfare for teachers.
One would hope that influential people like E Money would also channel some of their support toward people like Alex Onyia, rewarding education and those who dedicate themselves to advancing it.
What we invest in today into the South East is what our region will become tomorrow. If we truly want a prosperous South East, we must prioritize education and make the pursuit of academic excellence the standard, not the exception.
One of the saddest breast cancer cases I've ever encountered was a 29-year-old woman.
She found a lump in her breast and went to a teaching hospital.
Diagnosis: Advanced breast cancer. At least Stage IIIA.
She was advised to start chemotherapy immediately to shrink the tumour before surgery.
She was told time was of the essence.
She went home to tell her family dur to fear and a need for financial support.
Her mother suddenly remembered another young woman, about the same age, who had "a lump" removed at a private hospital.
No mastectomy.
No chemotherapy.
She was fine.
What her mother didn't realise was that not every breast lump is the same.
Her friend's lump was benign.
Her daughter's own was cancer.
So they sought another option.
The lump was removed, but the wound never healed and unfortunately, no histology was done and no further treatment guven
Then someone suggested a traditional healer in a nearby settlement.
They went.
Eight months passed.
By the time she returned to the hospital, she was septic, anaemic, severely malnourished, and the cancer had progressed beyond what it was before.
She died within a week.
The heartbreaking part?
In that same year, she could have completed her treatment.
Fear is powerful, and when you're desperate, the promise of an easier path can be incredibly tempting.
But delayed or inappropriate treatment steals something medicine can never give back.
Time.
If you're ever diagnosed with anything and you're unsure about the recommended treatment, please seek a second opinion from another qualified specialist.
Ask questions.
Understand your options.
But don't disappear.
Don't lose months chasing an easier answer.
Sometimes, time is the treatment.
💔 😢 😪
Pedestrian arguments like this tire me bcos it plays into the hands of a government that’s not interested in fixing anything. Lack of Dirt or trash isn’t the reason why Netherlands does not flood! I don’t know why we keep going back to this topic!
The reason Amsterdam doesn’t flood is bcos of billions of dollars investment in world class flood protection engineering & technology.
Also Dubai floods every year too and Dubai isn’t dirty but they have terrible flood protection systems which they are currently investing billions of dollars building proper sewage reticulation systems, flood detentions systems, flood gates and levees, etc to fix the flood problems! Few years from now when flooding becomes a thing of history in Dubai you’ll be here still blaming Lagos’s dirtiness which is still a problem caused by inadequate government infrastructure for it.
Have you also ever asked yourself why no matter how badly Lagos floods, Eko Atlantic is NEVER flooded? The simple reason is bcos the private company that built & owns Eko Atlantic engaged the same Dutch engineers that designed the flood protection systems in the Netherlands to design that of Eko Atlantic!
Even if there’s no single trash in Lagos, Lagos will still be flooded every rainy season! Until we spend money on building flood protection infrastructure. Check out this video, to understand why the Netherlands doesn’t flood.

One of the biggest problems with us on this app is that we rarely pay attention to what truly matters. We are mostly drawn to whatever is trending or going viral.
When committees were calling for public opinions, many of us were too busy arguing about who was snubbed at a movie premiere or debating who was the bigger clown between Peller and Chicken or why did Theo Abu Agada call Peter Obi incompetent in the past.
Then, when the decisions are made, we suddenly become experts with endless complaints.
Remember when Minister Umahi dismissed journalist Laila Salami’s request for the environmental impact assessment for Coastal highway?
Lagos is a sinking city & weak environmental governance accelerates this reality.
When your government is led by an O-
There is one cancer where doctors are strictly FORBIDDEN from doing a biopsy. Poking it with a needle will actually cause the tumor to spread. Which one is it?
A) Breast Cancer
B) Lung Cancer
C) Testicular Cancer
D) Prostate Cancer
I just remembered how Ogbeni Dipo take collect money from young people in the name of CV review, & was promoted by notable individuals like Joe Abba & co.
Imagine seeing someone that collected big money for CV review, now advocating for kuli kuli business for you.
Kai.. 😭😭😭
