Here’s an interesting part , Onne port in Rivers state 🇳🇬 is actually larger than Apapa port in Lagos
And just like me , many other business men especially the ones based in the southern part of the country uses this port to ship and receive their containers from all over the world 🌎.
Here me out 🗣️ Lagos has no port advantage over other states , instead our lazy governors is not doing enough to attract investors
Nobody will invest their money they won’t make profits ❌❌
When people complain Lagos has port advantage over other states in Nigeria 🇳🇬
I find it funny because Onne port in River state is fully functioning and I actually send some of my container from china 🇨🇳 to onne port in River state 🇳🇬 instead of Apapa Lagos
It’s simple Other states is not as developed as Lagos because we have bunch of lazy governors that’s hasn’t done much to attract investors to come into their states just as Lagos did …

Fathers should go out more with their daughters before they become adults. So that their children don’t see going on date with a man as a lifetime achievement

Drugs have different effects on differ animals due to the different mechanisms of actions and weight.
Dichlophenac is a pain drug for humans but it kills vultures.
Paracetamol is a drug for humans but it kills cat
Humans take alcohol but it is poisonous and deadly to dogs.
Humans take kolanut, coffee and other caffeine containing foods but it is deadly to dogs.
Back to indocid. It causes painful ulcer and intestinal bleeding in rats. It has the same effects on humans but we are very big, compared to rats. That's why we don't feel it. A human would have to swallow 50 to 300 indocid capsules at once to start feeling what rats feel.

Huawei is trolling Apple and Samsung at this point.
This is 10 years ahead of Samsung R&D, and about 17 years ahead of Apple R&D.

What Happens Next
1. Complete the Constitutional Amendment
With 24 State Houses of Assembly having approved, the resolutions are sent back to the National Assembly. Once confirmed, the amendment proceeds for presidential assent. This creates the constitutional basis for State Police Services alongside a Federal Police Service.
2. Finalise and Pass the National Policing Bill
The draft National Policing Bill (and related consequential amendments) is currently under review by the Ministry of Justice. After validation and presidential consideration, it will go to the National Assembly for passage. This law sets the national standards, certification process, oversight, funding, and operational rules.
3. States Pass Their Own Laws
Each state that wants to operate a State Police Service must enact its own state law establishing it.
4. State Certification
No State Police Service can begin operations until the state is certified as meeting the national minimum standards. The process is phased: the constitutional change enables it, but certification is required before any actual policing starts.
5. Operational Launch
Once certified, the State Police Service can commence. Federal coordination, inspections, accountability mechanisms, and possible federal intervention remain in place.

I lost an uncle earlier this year. His wife is a terrible person, she would deny everyone access to the kids and my uncle.
But when the man died. Guess who she called first, the same people she has been pushing away.
They all went there and arranged the burial. She knew it was time to step aside for a moment.
His brothers, sisters and children did the necessary thing and everyone went back to their homes after 3 days.
It's just a pity that the men supporting Toluwani's wife won't be there to witness their wives call their families over for the last respect.

Dear Young Man,
Under normal circumstances, never assume that your wife's family can possibly love you more than your own family.
This recent trend of newly successful men demonising their own families while adopting their wives' as substitutes is a disease that must encounter a vaccine, and soonest. It makes absolutely no sense.
A young man emerges into fortune, builds a home, accommodates his wife's mother, her siblings, and perhaps even finds a confidant in her father, yet almost entirely abandons his own family. And somehow, there is always a justification for it. An emotional biography carefully assembled to rationalise the weakness of men.
Suddenly, every husband's family is evil, cruel, toxic and inhabited by demons that must be cast out, while every wife's family is made up of angels and saints deserving of adoration and canonisation.
Really?
Of course, there are genuinely terrible families, and marriage does not require you to tolerate abuse or endure toxicity in the name of blood relations. But when a man must systematically vilify his own family to prove his loyalty to his wife's, perhaps the problem deserves a more honest interrogation.
Marriage is not a funeral for your family ties, and success should not become the burial ground of your roots.
Learn to establish healthy boundaries, protect your peace, honour your wife and respect her family. But do not allow the emotional politics of marriage to turn you into a stranger to the people who knew you before fortune gave you a new identity.
Blood is not always thicker than water, I agree. But neither should marriage become an excuse to rewrite history, manufacture villains and canonise an entire family simply because you have found a new home.
Wisdom is knowing how to build a new family without needlessly destroying the old one.
Good Morning Severally...

I was present there yesterday from morning till 9pm. The Abia state did not have any emergency services. We are all there doing manual services and excavator came in around 5pm in the evening. The painful thing is the guy that will soon get married that's a victim.

Majority of Nigeria family av ever seen, it is always the family of husband that is evil.
*The wife mother comes to her daughter house to enjoy good food while the mother of the man remains in village.
*The siblings of wife can visit their sister any time, even sometimes reside in the house but the siblings of the man must take permission before visiting. That is even if they are allowed.
Still nah the man go dey work for all the money being spent.
Wickedness of Nigeria women. 😭

If you listened to Nigerians, you might come to think that the federal government is the only level of government we have and that the state and local governments are nonexistent.

You knew all of these things, yet you held a meeting with the MD of NELFUND and prior meetings with two VCs in the South East, all to ensure that students from the South East benefited from this stupid policy.
In your own words, you were among those who thought it wasn’t real and dismissed it as propaganda. Now, it’s election season, and suddenly, it’s stupid.
You were part of the stupid people back then, too.
This is how stupid our people are. And it’s most of the population
I am selling rice for N1,000. Rice is essential for everyone to eat. Everyone is buying the rice. Suddenly a new producer comes and says rice is now N10,000. You complain and groan. He now goes “Ok I will give you loan so that you can afford the N10,000 rice”. You now jubilate and say “This man is trying. He cooked with that loan for me to be able to afford rice”
This is the tale of NELFUND.
