@Autowired21 @compoundinnaira M kind of man👍

@compoundinnaira He’s worried because he sort of have close to that amount somewhere. If he was a pauper e for no dy even reason anything. As far as I had taken good care of my dad when he was alive, I won’t spend too much when he’s gone, I would face my life anything wey wan happen make e happen

I was on the phone this morning catching up with a childhood friend. We rarely talk beyond WhatsApp messages, so this call felt unusually long. After the usual “your head is big” banter, he mentioned needing to finalize his father’s burial. I was confused, I mentioned that I thought they had already buried him. That’s when he explained that what they did earlier was just “putting him in the ground.” The main burial was still ahead. I joked, “Ah, so Paalé get MAIN EVENT?” We laughed, but the laughter didn’t last.Turns out his dad took a chieftaincy title that requires an extravagant burial. They require a minimum of two cows, the recommendation is actually three. A long list of other requirements. List was so long, I had to interrupt and asked how much all this would cost him, he said, “Me I’m not looking to spend anything, but they’re forcing me to spend around ₦9M. And this is before travel and logistics for him and his family. Total estimate: ₦15–₦18 million. I asked him, “If your dad wasn’t a chief, would things be different?” “Yes. That first burial would have been it.” “So why did he take the title?” His voice changed. “Do I know? Was I there? Was I consulted?” Then he said something that stuck with me: “My father mortgaged my future with that title.” And honestly, he’s right. The saddest part? His dad took the title because he believed his son had “made it.” Meanwhile, this same son was struggling for years. Now the title he never asked for will set him back financially, and by extension, affect his own children. Nigeria has to let go of some of these traditions, they are not culture, they are poverty traps. I’ve said before that, if you traced your family tree back one to two generations, you’ll find the root of the poverty dealing with you today. Things are really happening in Nigeria.

@Lordnazz102 @compoundinnaira And so? We bother ourselves too much in this country. If na me they won't see me again.

@compoundinnaira The thing is if you choose not to do it he can't go to another person burial and eat meat also if he dies his children won't buy any cow for his burial unless they do that of their grandfather and many other things

@mummy_z523 @FauziyyaSa @Bn_Abdulhadi You find this funny? What is wrong with you people?🤦😡

A caller on Brekete Radio today said his brother's wife was kidnapped, gave birth in bandit captivity, and Bello Turji named the child after himself before increasing the ransom, saying he bought a ram for the naming ceremony.

He is still missing, please repost until he is found

She is still missing, please repost until she is found

@maxcoded_com @Gwazavictoria @Donjaytrix001 Chai🤦

@Gwazavictoria @Donjaytrix001 Ain't nothing expensive about that. She has a personal gym, does that mean commercial gyms(cheaper) won't give the same results? Main thing is determination and consistency, regardless of the mode of gym.

Make one wretched girl tell me say she add weight because she born for me I go just go add another wife very fast

After my post on black tax, a follower reached out and asked for my honest opinion on something she is currently facing, and I decided to bring it here instead. She will be reading the comments. She lives abroad and has one elder sister who just got admission into a university abroad, and the family believes she should sponsor the entire move since she already lives there. She disagrees, saying she has her own bills and goals, but she is willing to contribute her fair share. The family agreed to sell one of their land for N8 million to raise the remaining funds, and when she heard this, she offered to buy the land herself as a personal investment. The family’s response was immediate, saying that if she has N8 million available, she should simply use it to sponsor her sister instead. Her position is that buying the land is an investment decision, not a refusal to help, and she is still willing to contribute financially, but she will not sacrifice her own future for a responsibility the whole family should share. Did she do anything wrong?

@gentlemanway007 Not willing to foot the whole bill of your sister's education is fine and very logical but offering to buy a family land when they are in need is selfishness and greed, most especially because they approached you for funds for that particular need. That's very insensitive of you!

Ladies, if your fingernails are completely bare (no polish, acrylics, etc.) give this a “like”. My daughter is convinced that “everyone” has fake nails or a manicure and I’m the odd man out. She’s 12. 😄

Murderous migrants beheading innocent people in their home town is what’s making people angry, not “social media”!

@temitayo69 @Aheesha_x He didn't see anybody do it. It's just human instinct and intelligence. God gave humans intelligence. That's why the Bible says we were created in his image and 'likeness'.

@Aheesha_x 😂😂😂 maybe he has seen someone, babies like to observe especially when they are outside, don't be surprised about what they can do or say 🤣.

I sometimes struggle to get my baby to drink water from his sippy cup. It’s either he’s fighting me over it or insisting on holding it himself, only to end up soaking his entire outfit. But the moment he hears me turn on the bathroom tap, he comes crawling at top speed, positions himself under it, opens his mouth, and waits for the water to flow straight in 🥴 What’s confusing me is that I’ve never done this in his presence. It’s not like he has seen me drinking directly from the tap. How did this tiny human figure out that putting his mouth under the tap would get water into it? Who taught him this skill? 😫

@Daddy_Tweens @mumaijay You're just something else 🤦 Yorubas are telling you it's not a cultural thing but you keep stressing in all your replies to people that that's how Yorubas do it. You know exactly what you are doing. Well done. It's even possible that this event never took place; who knows 🤷

@mumaijay That's how they remove it on the southwest. Yoruba people use soapy water to remove the fur after pumping the meat

So today I hired someone to butcher one of my goats. I specifically told him to roast the goat before skinning it. This man instead went to call a vulcanizer to pump the deæd goat. He then proceeded to using soapy water on my goat before skinning it. I was so furious and asked him why he didn't do as I instructed him. He told me that in his place in Yoruba land, they pump their ram and goats and then use soapy water to skin them. Oga, do I look Yoruba to you? I told you to roast it before skinning. We Igbo people roast ours before skinning it. It gives the meat that goat scent when cooking it. I won't pay him his complete money.

friendship; what a concept man! my guy loaned his friend part of the money he used to japa a few years ago, now he has paid my guy back. but earlier this year he asked for his help to clear two lexus cars he shipped in, as he didn't have any family or someone he can trust in lagos. as per his guy, he was happy to help. did all the running around and got the cars out quickly, then was arranging for them to be sent to asaba as directed, only to be told that one of the cars was for him. mind you, he got married late last year and they are expecting. he used to tell me how pained he was that his wife takes cabs to ante-natal and how he was hoping for a miracle to buy to a car before the baby arrives, as it will make their lives easier. well, christmas has come early for them. hard guy like me had tears in my eyes, cos this is so thoughtful.

I was really low on fuel today but I needed to go pick up my kids from school. I was just praying that the fuel just brings me home. I drove to pick them up in our way back the car stopped in the middle of the road. Chai, my fears finally came true. I had given my wife all the money I had for house upkeep so I was literally on zeros. One of my clients that supposed to pay for a property on Monday has been delaying. I didn’t even know what to do. I called a friend of mine and told him my ordeal. He asked me where I was and I told him. He didn’t say anything and he hung up. I was there just contemplating what to do, I decided to call my wife to send me small cash but I couldn’t even leave my kids there to hunt for fuel, plus I didn’t have jerrycan in the car. While contemplating I saw that my guy driving down. He came out with 5 liters of fuel in a Jerry can. You needed to see my relief. 😮‍💨 In this life, don’t do it alone. Have people you can call, and also be someone others can call upon. #Brotherly

@molaadee Her mentality is part of the reason why we are backward as a nation. So a 22 year old adult is too young to get married? It is well with us.

Nah it depends. If her partner is around her age and you know he’s a good and reasonable person, they’ve both graduated,have good jobs, both financially stable and can cater for themselves as a family then I don’t see the problem

@Dmain_melanin A 22 year old is an adult.

My sister dey whine me tonight, you wan do introduction @ 22 ke, won ti bi da😭😭.

@Dmain_melanin @iam_Oluwatosin He didn't twist anything. He is spot on.

@iam_Oluwatosin Y’all are too good at twisting tweets😂😂😂😂

This thinking affects us in all aspects of life in Nigeria, thinking someone is too young to have a successful career, someone is too young to start something meaningful, someone too young for marriage while people in other continents are starting life early,

You all remember the pregnant Lawyer who was shot and k!lled in Ajah in 2022, right? Bolanle Raheem. The k!iller is still alive, lounging.

Appearance reflects the heart. Police dismiss, arraign four officers who murdered suspects.

One day I'll look back at this post. Either as the moment I gave up… or the moment the world showed up for me. I'm choosing to believe in you. Please prove me right. I face permanent disability without help. The police have ignored for far too long. oncrowdr.com/explore/c/help…
