The way Nigerians are going on about iPhone. It's like a status symbol or something. I've never used an iPhone in my life. Except my work phone which is I think iPhone 7 or something like that. The one with track pad. This iPhone craze to me is just weird. If I was in Nigeria maybe id be using cheap Xiamo phone sef or Tecno. All these phones sef are they not doing the same thing? Same Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook that we install on it? I'm very confused.

So owning an iPhone 17 is now an achievement. Nigerians are just funny. A phone that teenagers abroad are using. To think of it, there is nothing really special about the phone sef. This Nkechi Blessing is such a low thinking human being to video this

Let Nigeria lose this match abeg. President Tinubu should call the stupid coach and ask him to lose the match.

Nigeria should just draw with Benin. Let Benin qualify instead of South Africa

If Super chickens qualify. Make I bend. South Africa is praying for us to win and we are praying for them to lose. Lol. Funny situation.

Nairaland mods need to do better. The Oba didnt ban the event. Some people cannot just read to understand. He forwarded a letter sent to him to theLagos State Commisioner of Tourism to take appropriate action.

Same Dangote that was saying imported fuel is bad for their cars. Only is own fuel is the purest. Whereas he just wants to monopolize the market. Nigerians have been using imported fuel for ages and we didn't die.

If Dangote refinery cannot compete with imported fuel, then he should get out. He wants to be the sole distributor of fuel in Nigeria just like his friend Otedola did with imported Diesel.

I got a job a Dangote then for 150k in his cement company. The HR where trying to scam me. They said they will tell me the location of the job after I accepted the offer and quit my job for an interview that was in Lagos oooo. Unknown to me, the job was in Benue with no relocation allowance. But unknown to the mumu HR, me sef na lag boy through and through. I accepted the offer and didnt quit my job. He was sha asking me if I have put him my quit notice so I won't have a choice but to go with them. I told him yes. Once I found out the job was in Benue with no relocation allowance I dulled them and went back to my job. The HR was now calling me to curse me that I held up their spot. Awon oloshi user company. Last last all the candidates that took up the offer regreted it later. Even Dangote staffs there were whispering to me on the day of the interview that the job is a useless job oooo that I should better look at other options. Dangote na just Slave master. Nothing else. Anyway I'm in America now collecting dollars. Nothing concern me and him yeye slave business.

Very stupid country. We dont have electricity, yet you're exorting our gas. Later they will come and say Dangote refinery and tinzzz will benefit the common man. Dey Play oooo....

Two things I have noticed. Politicians and Big businessmen in Nigeria engage in "PR" or propaganda to build narratives. Many are working for them on Nairaland and twitter and other social medica. Also, many Nigerians are used to sufferhead. Dont waste your time fighting for Nigerians or what is good or moral or right. In the end evil always wins in Nigeria. Being good is a waste of time.

Dangote is looking for people he will pay peanuts, not conform to any labor law and free to fire anytime if they get out of line. He will have been a good and successful slavemaster.

P1PrinceKT:
Joining Union is not by force. If they decide today they exit the Union. The next day Pengassan will stop the strike.
Your own is to convince them to exit the Union (Pengassan) and form their own Dangote refineries own.

Imagine having equal votes with someone with this kind of thinking. Many Nigerians go to school but are uneducated. A workers union is meant to protect the rights of workers in the union and is recognized by our labor laws and not to build refineries. Nigerians are so used to being mistreated at work that they can't even phantom that they should have rights to fair treatment.

P1PrinceKT:
You're deviating from the fact of sacking the workers, which has to do with joining a Union. Not when, how and who has the refinery.
It's just that some Nigerians know little about thier right that's why they accept every trash.

Dont waste your time. Most Nigerians are very dumb individuals that worship rich people and their money even when the said rich people don't give a sh.i.t about them.

I can see their plan. They will start directly withdrawing money from people's bank accounts. This is not right. What this government is doing is criminal but Nigerians are too dumb to protest. They will collect your money as tax and use it to fund politicians expensive lifestyle.

ViceGovernor:
I remember when he went on TV and told them to patronize him even when his fuel is superior quality and cheaper than imported one but because of their greed and exploitation of Nigerians that has been happening for years, they allowed 3million barrels of fuel to remain in storage for months.....all because they had trailers to distribute round the country.

Now the man has brought in 4,000 tankers to distribute fuel free of charge for Nigerians, they're foaming in the mouth, some people are saying monopoly.......when it is as clear as daylight that he offered them a seat at the table which they vehemently rejected.

He asked them to distribute fuel for him they said NO, now he is doing that by himself why are you people complaining again??

It's a lie. Dangotes fuel is more expensive. Maybe it's purer. But it's more expensive. He wants to force Nigerians to have option of only his expensive fuel. He doesn't want to compete with Blended fuel because he knows he will lose.

Dangote is a scammer monopolist. First he told us all the other petrol coming into Nigeria is blended and fake and only his own expensive petrol is pure and unadulterated now he wants to monopolize the whole market. I say, let the importation of blended fuel continue and let Nigerians decide the one they prefer. Is it by force to buy his expensive fuel? Someone that wants to sell the same expensive fuel to us in dollars that Nigerians can't afford while he collected cheap dollars from CBN to build his refinery. Sacked all Nigerian staffs and replace them with Indians.

This tax issue sha. Nigerians are surely going to protest against this. January 2026 will be the D- Day

WizardOfNG:
Lol. What "Trojan horse" kibosh finality do you want to bring to an issue that, at the most simplest level, is about investing your savings in your diaspora location for max 4.3% return , over a year of fixing the deposit, whereas returns of up to 18% interest awaits if you have access to the Nigerian treasury bills, high interest deposit and bonds investment schemes?

A Nigerian in the UK with £100k GPB to invest should tie it up in the UK for 3% return yearly ( as ISA has cash investment limit less than 100k) when he can receive perhaps 20% on same return as lender, via treasury bills, to the Nigerian Government?

Why do you ignore the above, which is proven, to be talking of tax that is even inconsequential when we look at the potentials for Nigerians to bilaterally gain from and assist their nation of origin while residing and working in the diaspora?

Until you lose your money from falling naira over time. The diasporans that stored their money as Naira (including me) before 2023 are still crying today after the naira was devalued by over 300 percent. Never again will I fall for such a mistake.

twilliamx:
Americans do it too. Unless you denounce your citizenship

Once it comes to tax, you people know how to compare Nigeria to America but when we talk about economic development and infrastructure you will keep shut. Scammers. So I will pay tax in America and then pay tax in Nigeria so Tinubu and his fellow Nigerian politicians will have enough money to maintain their long convoys and trips abroad abi. Once I'm able to, I removing all my money from Nigerians banks. Bloody rogues.

wowcatty:
Trump made the right choice, no other country will allow such scam.

The so called skilled workers bring certificates of schools that don’t exist, and most of them take sales jobs, are sales persons difficult to find in America?

They can still bring skilled workers in but there has to be a level playing field for Americans to compete.
These are the pays in southeast US.
CIO - $225k
CISO - $200k
Architect - $180k
Security engineer - $150k

If employers pay 100K to the govt and pay between $40k - $100k to the skilled workers, they will still save between $10k - $25k. How is this not enough if they’re not greedy? The choice is theirs.

People just come online and type nonsense. Where in America can you survive comfortably with $40k dollars.

Small by small, oyinbo don dey craze.

Tiwa will say anything to sell bring attention to herself and sell her album

U. S inflation rate is about 3%. Our own is 20%. Let you say the massess should not talk.

APC is dead APC is dead APC is dead APC is dead APC is dead

Yinmu. When Tinubu starts sharing dollars in 2027 and bags of rice and palm oil?You will know whether APC is dead or not.

We need to collect Tax to fix the national Grid. Our famous Tax collector Tinubu can do it.

malali:
Senators like Akpabio are wielding patriarchal politics, acting as if they are doing Nigerians a favor. They need a reminder that their positions are granted by the constitution and exist at the mercy of both the federal and legislative arms of government. It’s glaringly obvious that Senator Akpoti is being targeted simply for standing up to him. Now that his ego is bruised, he interprets the constitution however it suits him, seemingly forgetting that Nigeria has an Attorney General and a Supreme Court capable of curbing such excesses.

Attorney General and Supreme Court that are in Tinubu's pocket. Dey play

sboga:

So sad. We that we are in U.S were hoping at least they will qualify and give us small joy to watch them even if they don't go far but alas Naija never gives one joy

Lies. Loads of people get hired as GTs without any so-called “connection”. FACT

Read my last post on the thread. I'm talking about NNPC or NLNG here. I'm not talking about GTs in Nigerian Breweries or the likes. There is no way you're getting a govt job in Nigeria without connections. Let's say the truth here. Of course there are exceptions but it is highly unlikely. Not to talk of juicy position in NNPC or NLNG
