Freelancer Life: Why I’m Scared to Use iPhone in Nigeria Good morning, Nairalanders. Please I need your advice. I currently use a Samsung S10+, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The phone is nice, no doubt, but I’m seriously concerned about the wahala that comes with using an iPhone in Nigeria, especially with our police. Let me explain. You see, I’m a freelancer on Fiverr and Upwork. I work hard and earn my money clean. But when it comes to Nigerian police, even if you are innocent, once they see you with an iPhone — even if it’s an old iPhone 6 — they start assuming you're a yahoo boy. I travel from Ekiti to Ilorin often, and on the way, you can meet over 30 police checkpoints. I’m not exaggerating — anyone who travels that road regularly can confirm it. Most times, because I use a Samsung, they don't disturb me much. But those guys carrying iPhones? It’s another story. Police will stop you, delay you, ask you to unlock your phone, and sometimes even threaten to arrest you. They won’t listen to anything — even if you show them proof that you're a legit freelancer. You go explain tire, no evidence! Most times, they just want a bribe. If you don’t give them, they can delay you for hours just to frustrate you into dropping something. Because of this, even some drivers in Ekiti are now afraid to carry young, well-dressed guys with iPhones. Some will ask you to hide your phone, or sit where police won’t easily see you. Imagine that! As someone who hustles genuinely online, I can never give my hard-earned money to these thieves. I'd rather help someone in need than settle police officers for doing nothing. So please, Nairalanders, what do you advise? Should I just stick with my Samsung or go ahead and get the iPhone 16 Pro Max? Let me hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Unless I need to complain about my account, I rarely go to the bank because I always make transfers to buy anything I want here in the EKSU area. Even tomato sellers accept transfers. It has been a while since I last held cash, However, I only withdraw cash when I am traveling back home. At home, most people in my area do not accept transfers. Still, I don't go to the bank to withdraw cash. For example, if I want to withdraw ₦20,000, the charge at a POS agent would be ₦400. However, if I go to the bank, I would spend between ₦1,000 and ₦1,200 on transport. So, I prefer withdrawing from a POS agent rather than going to the bank or using an ATM. |
Idun2024:Are you an Eksu student? |
When you think of London, you might picture Big Ben, red double-decker buses, and tea with a splash of milk. But what if I told you that London, Kentucky, exists too—complete with charming small-town vibes and zero chance of spotting the Queen? America’s love for Europe didn’t stop at accents and croissants; it’s written all over the map. Literally. Let’s dive into this fascinating journey where Europe didn’t just inspire U.S. history books—it inspired our city names too! Why Copy Europe? Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, American settlers were brimming with nostalgia for the places they left behind or had only heard of in tales of grandeur. Naming their towns after famous European cities was a way to connect with the “old world,” adding a touch of sophistication—or so they hoped. In some cases, it was just settlers being cheeky. Paris, Texas? Why not! A Quick Tour of European-America England, Reimagined England practically has a U.S. franchise with cities like Birmingham, Alabama, and Manchester, New Hampshire, popping up across the map. There’s even a Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a world-class university that might make England’s Cambridge sweat a little. Oh, and if you ever find yourself in York, Pennsylvania, try not to confuse it with the original York. One has the Minster Cathedral; the other has... Amish markets. Bonjour, France! America didn’t just borrow French fries; we also snagged names like Paris, Texas, and Versailles, Kentucky. While the real Paris boasts the Eiffel Tower, Paris, Texas, flaunts a replica with a cowboy hat on top—because, of course, it does. Meanwhile, Lafayette, Louisiana, keeps things très French with Creole culture and Mardi Gras vibes. Italian Flair Ah, Rome, Georgia, and Venice, California. If you squint, Venice Beach’s canals might remind you of Italy’s Venice, though gondolas are replaced by surfers. And Florence, South Carolina, doesn’t have the Uffizi Gallery, but it does have Southern charm and fried chicken. Fair trade? Greek Philosophy, Southern Charm The ancient Greeks would probably love knowing their city names now sit proudly in America’s South. Athens, Georgia, is a hub of indie music and intellectual energy, while Sparta, Wisconsin, has zero warriors but plenty of cheese. Germany’s Footprint Not to be outdone, Germany made its mark with towns like Frankfort, Kentucky (inspired by Frankfurt) and Berlin, Connecticut. While the original Berlin is steeped in history, the American version leans more into quaint New England charm. No walls here, though. A Sprinkle of Everywhere Else Feeling adventurous? Check out Madrid, Iowa (Spain), Geneva, Illinois (Switzerland), or Lisbon, Maine (Portugal). Then there’s Moscow, Idaho, where the only cold war you’ll find is locals debating over coffee blends. The Fun of Americanized Europe What’s endearing about these cities is how they’ve taken their European names and made them uniquely American. Paris, Texas, might not have haute couture, but it’s got cowboy boots for miles. Venice, California, isn’t home to Renaissance art, but its graffiti-lined streets are masterpieces of their own. Pack Your Bags—Or Don’t So, if you can’t afford a trip to Europe, why not take a road trip through its U.S. doppelgängers? Who knows? You might find yourself sipping sweet tea in Athens, Georgia, or marveling at cowboy-culture-meets-Parisian-chic in Paris, Texas. One thing’s for sure: Europe didn’t just inspire America’s history—it left its stamp on our very identity. Bon voyage—err, happy travels!

Have You Ever Wondered Why Countries Can't Just Print Money to Solve Economic Crises and Disasters? At first glance, printing more money might seem like an easy solution to a country's economic problems. After all, if there’s not enough money circulating, why not just create more? But in reality, printing money to fix an economic crisis is a risky move with consequences that can often make the problem worse. If you've ever wondered why governments don't simply print more currency to solve economic downturns or natural disasters, the answer lies in understanding the complex relationship between money, inflation, and the overall economy. The Reason: Economics is More Than Just Numbers While it might seem intuitive that having more money would help people and businesses, the truth is, money is only valuable because of its purchasing power, which is determined by the amount of goods and services in the economy. If the supply of money increases without a corresponding increase in goods and services, the value of the currency starts to decrease. Consequences of Printing Money 1. Inflation: The Silent Eater of Wealth One of the primary consequences of printing money is inflation. Inflation happens when there is more money in circulation but the same amount of goods and services available to purchase. With more money chasing fewer goods, prices naturally rise. For example, if a country prints more money to pay for its expenses, the cost of everyday items (like food, gas, and housing) increases. This means that people’s savings, wages, and pensions can lose value rapidly. Inflation might not seem like an immediate problem, but if it gets out of control, it can lead to hyperinflation, where prices rise so fast that money becomes worthless. This is what happened in countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela, where citizens needed wheelbarrows full of cash just to buy a loaf of bread. 2. Currency Devaluation: A Global Downward Spiral When a country prints excessive money, its currency’s value decreases relative to other currencies. As the currency weakens, imports become more expensive, which can drive up the cost of living, especially in nations that depend on foreign goods. This makes it harder for businesses to operate, creating an additional drag on the economy. Moreover, countries often rely on foreign investment to grow their economies. But if investors fear that a country’s currency will continue to lose value, they are less likely to invest, making it even harder for the country to recover. 3. Loss of Confidence: Trust is Everything One of the most dangerous consequences of printing money irresponsibly is the loss of trust in the currency. A nation’s currency relies on the belief that it holds value, and when that belief is shattered—whether by inflation or currency devaluation—people stop using the currency and look for more stable alternatives. This has long-term consequences: people may start hoarding foreign currencies, or even start bartering goods instead of using the national currency. Trust in the country's government and economy may also plummet, making it harder to regain stability. 4. The Debt Dilemma: A House of Cards Many governments already carry substantial national debt. Printing money to pay off debt might seem like a quick fix, but this can exacerbate the problem. If a country prints too much money to pay its debt, the value of its currency declines, making foreign debt payments more expensive. As a result, the country might need to print even more money to cover the increased debt obligations, creating a vicious cycle that leads to further economic distress. 5. Economic Imbalances: A Distorted Economy When money is printed without careful consideration, it distorts the natural flow of the economy. Money supply should ideally match the growth of goods and services. But if the money supply grows faster than economic output, the balance of supply and demand is disrupted. This can cause severe instability, affecting everything from employment to business investments. The Information You Need to Understand To truly understand why printing money is not a viable solution to economic crises, it’s essential to have a grasp on a few key economic principles: Inflation and Deflation: Inflation occurs when the supply of money exceeds the supply of goods, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. Deflation, the opposite, occurs when there is too little money in circulation, leading to reduced economic activity. Money Supply and Demand: The value of money is largely determined by how much of it is available and how much demand there is for it in the economy. The balance between these two forces is crucial in maintaining stable prices. Monetary Policy: Governments and central banks use monetary policy tools, like interest rates and open market operations, to control inflation and stabilize the economy. Simply printing money bypasses these mechanisms, often leading to disastrous results. Fiscal Responsibility: Governments need to manage their budgets and debts responsibly. This means borrowing money when necessary, investing in infrastructure, and finding ways to increase economic output rather than relying on quick fixes like money printing. What Are the Alternatives? Instead of printing more money, governments and central banks can pursue other strategies to stabilize an economy during a crisis: Borrowing from international institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or World Bank, which can offer loans and financial assistance under strict conditions. Austerity measures or structural reforms, such as cutting unnecessary government spending and improving tax collection, to build a more sustainable fiscal structure. Attracting foreign investment through economic policies that foster business growth and create job opportunities. Encouraging domestic production to meet local demand, which can reduce dependence on imports and stabilize prices. Conclusion While the idea of printing money to solve an economic crisis may sound tempting, it is far from a simple solution. The consequences—ranging from inflation and currency devaluation to loss of confidence in the economy—are far-reaching and often worsen the problem. To address an economic crisis effectively, governments must rely on responsible monetary and fiscal policies, borrowing when necessary, and creating sustainable strategies for growth. Ultimately, solving an economic disaster is not about printing more money, but about ensuring the economy is functioning efficiently and sustainably. |

They don't have a conscience. I lost my eFootball account to one Yahoo guy. The account was worth 18, so he sounded like a reasonable person, and I trusted him. I gave him my login details, and then he blocked me. The werey is using an iPhone 13. These people are thieves. If you're not a Yahoo boy and you have them as friends, please stay away. They don't have a conscience and can do anything to you. |

djseanjohn77:While it’s true that $500 is much less than $25k, the value of what is paid should reflect the quality of education and facilities provided. Schools abroad, like in the USA or UK, charge high tuition fees, but they offer conducive learning environments, world-class facilities, and support systems that justify the cost. These institutions have modern libraries, advanced laboratories, spacious lecture halls, reliable internet, and dedicated career services that help students transition smoothly into the job market. In contrast, at EKSU, even with the lower fees, the infrastructure is inadequate. Students face overcrowded lecture halls, insufficient facilities, and frequent disruptions due to poor planning and lack of resources. For example, faculties rely on a single twin hall, and students are shuffled across faculties due to space shortages. Exams, like CBE, are constrained by the limited capacity of the centers. These challenges compromise the quality of education and make the tuition fees feel disproportionately high given the lack of value students receive. When it comes to jobs after graduation, this is where the disparity becomes even more apparent. Abroad, graduates are often equipped with practical skills and connections that make it easier to secure employment in their fields of study. Universities abroad actively engage with industries to create job opportunities through internships, co-op programs, and partnerships. Even if students take loans to fund their education, the availability of jobs and competitive salaries after graduation often make it manageable to pay off those loans. In Nigeria, however, the situation is dire. Many graduates, despite earning degrees, are unable to find jobs related to their fields of study. The labor market is oversaturated, and the lack of industrial partnerships with universities leaves students with limited prospects. As a result, many graduates are forced to learn vocational skills like tailoring, mechanics, or plumbing to survive. While these skills are commendable, they are often far removed from what they studied in school, highlighting a significant disconnect between education and the job market. This difference underscores why tuition fees abroad, though high, provide better long-term value. Students abroad not only gain knowledge but also have access to opportunities that align with their careers. In contrast, many Nigerian institutions fail to prepare students for the realities of the job market or offer support to transition into their chosen fields. |
How is this a better option? Imagine a Tourism course freshman paying over 400k, Medicine paying 1.2m, and Law paying almost a million. Many courses that paid below 300k in 2020, when I was in 100 level, have now increased by more than 100%. Yet, there hasn’t been any noticeable improvement in terms of learning or facilities at EKSU. Each faculty has just a twin hall that all the courses in the faculty share. The Lecture Theaters (LT) are smaller and can only accommodate departments with fewer students, like French or Yoruba. These LTs are the size of secondary school classrooms. Each faculty has its own smaller LT, which is mainly used for tutorials and night classes. Throughout my time at EKSU, I’ve attended lectures in different faculties’ lecture halls, including the Engineering twin hall, Education twin hall, Agric twin hall, and the Law story building, even though I belong to the Faculty of Arts, studying English and Literary Studies. Ideally, I shouldn’t have lectures beyond the Arts twin hall, but due to the unavailability of lecture spaces, we are often relocated to other faculties’ lecture theaters. Many classes get canceled daily or rescheduled to different times from the original timetable due to this lack of space. When it comes to CBE (Computer-Based Examination), EKSU has only two CBE centers, which can’t even accommodate 200 people at once. Yet, the entire school relies on these centers. |

Have you ever noticed how Nigerian women seem to really like iPhones? But why? What is it about iPhones that they find so attractive? And why do they often pay more attention to people who use iPhones, ignoring those with fancy Android phones, like Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra, Google Pixel and high end android devices We're curious to know what you think. Why do you think Nigerian women are so into iPhones? Is it because they look cool, or maybe because having one makes you seem important? And if you're someone who uses a fancy Android phone, have you ever felt like Nigerian women don't notice you because of it? Share your thoughts and experiences with us as we try to figure out this interesting trend. |
