A True Story:
A beautiful story of a comeback..
"When I got pregnant for my boyfriend in my 300 level at the University of Ibadan in 2001, I tried to abort the pregnancy but I couldn't. (story for another day)
I became a shadow of myself. My boyfriend did not deny the pregnancy,
but he was a student too then studying at Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-ife. He was the youngest in his family and we had disappointed our parents.
I started participating less in class. I'd stare into spaces, confused about life. The pregnancy was barely two months old then.

''Beware of that House-Help in Your Home.
What happened in my home is sort of stuff you see in famed television program- Super Story.
Exactly one month ago, my family hired this 23 year old young lady, Happy Yahuda into our home. During the interview session, I had asked her
where she hails from. When she told me she hails from Zango-Kataf in Kaduna state I felt comfortable considering my history with Kaduna, having attended secondary school there. Again, I asked where she had been before showing up at my home. She told the story of where she had

''Has Tea Noobu taken any measures to implement reforms that would reduce the cost of governance during his administration?
While he has initiated a series of reforms that may benefit the country in the long run, it is evident that these changes will bring hardship to Nigerians
in the short and medium term.
However, the concern arises when we observe that there is no indication of him making personal sacrifices at the highest level, while the poor are not breeving.

Today’s lecture ends here. I’ll tell you a story to utilize the remaining time”. Everyone became interested. “Yesterday night I tried hard to sleep, but it was miles away from my eyes, so I thought I’d better get petrol in my car, which will save my time next morning

''@BentleyMotors : Interior Like No Other
------------------------------------
Unarguable is the fact that Bentleys have the most luxurious interiors of any car, both luxury, and basic. But you can argue if you feel like.
No other car company in the world pays such painstaking
attention to even the minutest details, and basic issues, in the quest for maximum comfort, as Bentley.
But this comes at a cost, and that cost is why Bentley is not for every joe.
One of the reasons the Bentley Mulsanne is regarded as a royal even among Bentleys is that it has

''The joke is on some of you who are the entrenched enablers of all the systemic corruption in this country.
We are all victims.

A beer company was hiring a taster, someone to taste the beers before selling out. So they placed adverts and one afternoon, a dirty, rough looking man known as Thomas walked into the manager's office asking to be employed.
The manager tried to figure out how he could drive this
man away but couldn't come up with an idea, so he decided to give the man a trial. He ordered his secretary to give the man a glass of wine. He took a sip and said, "It's red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."

''As for those who argue that Tinubu should fight corruption in the sector instead of ending the subsidies, I hope they know how ridiculous that proposal sounds? If Buhari, who got into power by pretending to be the very embodiment of incorruptibility could not fight corruption,
how do you expect Tinubu to fare better? How?
Tinubu himself knows he does not have the moral legitimacy to challenge anyone on corruption.The few times he opened his mouth to talk about corruption,he induced serious laughter.I am sure he is smart enough to not overreach himself

''Dear cryptocurrency trader, The Nigerian government is coming for you as the regulatory taxman. FIRS will start taxing your earnings and income from crypto trading.
I know you will be wondering, "How?
Ok, bring your seat; let me explain it for you.
Before he left office,
our former president, Muhammed Buhari, signed into law what is called the Finance Bill 2023, which became law on May 1, 2023.

''There are 3 categories of people that defend bad governments in Nigeria. 1. Those that Nigeria has damaged psychologically. They think suffering is a patriotism indicator. 2. Those that want to defend their choice (ego) at all cost.They will rather sound ridiculous
defending the funny actions of their choice than accept in humility that their choice got it wrong. They have given themselves the task of mining out justifications for all govt actions. They lie to themselves that that is a sign of patriotism. They are the Shalaye Group,

''Good and bad are different sides of the same coin.
There are good marriages and bad marriages.
Good men and bad men.
Great women and crappy women.
Having great attributes and attitude, isn't a function of gender.
If you have made a wrong choice of a spouse,
and you are undergoing domestic violen'ce, please prayerfully take your exit, from such a union.
There are no regrets in the grave. No clarity in chaos. No understanding,when the mind is darkened by depression and clouded by fear and confusion.

''How can you start up an airline without the AOC which is a safety certificate by which the NCAA certifies that an airline is fit to conduct safe flight operations?...
Who are the pilots of Nigeria Air, who are the engineers, who are the air hostesses,
we know Sahcol being a stakeholder will provide ground handling, but the airline should have its own team already set up.
An AOC certification is not a one day event,the airline is yet to go through all the phases of certification process which is about five or six depending

''Oftentimes it is disheartening when one comes across opinions especially from people who live in societies where things work to some extent but they always support impunities here in Nigeria.
It beats my imagination because I can't understand such self hatred
for your own people.
Imagine giving a water salute to an airline that has not been issued with an Air Operators Certificate and telling the whole world that you have launched a national carrier, we asked questions, but we were shouted down by some Nigerians, mostly people

''If you are a young person driving an SUV or Jeep that guzzles fuel,
This period is not the time for such luxury, unless your dad is Dangote, you have access to unlimited cash, or you are a trust fund kid.
If you are none of the above, park the car and then buy a
fuel-efficient Toyota Corolla.’
SUV cars come with a 100-liter capacity; to fill it up to the brim will cost you 50,000 plus, but with less than 25k, you can fill up your Toyota Corolla fuel tank, and the truth is that Toyota Corolla cars are fuel efficient and burn less fuel

''JONATHAN WAS AN ORPHAN. BUHARI AND TINUBU HAVE PARENTS...
I have said this to more than HUNDRED people:
IF JONATHAN HAD COME FROM ANY OF THE THREE MAJOR TRIBES, (Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa) HE WOULD NOT HAVE LOST IN 2015.
Without being immodest, no one, I mean not a single person,
has disagreed with me.
Why did I bring this up?
I found out since February, after INEC declared Tinubu, that the guy (Tinubu) had many SILENT Yoruba supporters than I had thought or anticipated.
And this support was based on ETHNICITY.
Absolutely nothing more.
