That's another angle Boss...

Serious and soulful singers don't get far in this noisy nation!

Who even still remembers Etcetera, Gino, GT Da Guitarman... Naija Sha!

Very noisy nation, boss

Very very funny comments here.

There is no difference between Omah Lay's "Get Layd" EP and "Boy Alone" album.

Get Layd was released during the pandemic/lockdown. Omah Lay's songs are meant to produce a form of sensory response (more like "introvert" songs). Hence, it wasn't unexpected that he made massive sales at that time. Pandemic turned everyone to introverts so Omah's songs were a big deal.

People have gotten over the lockdown now so those introverted "lo lo lo" songs can't work again.

Omah Lay needs to switch to noise-making and useless songs in order to compete with the likes of other noise makers like Asake - Nigerians' new favourites dem

marztar:
I present to you the ELEYI of Ogun state.

Tinubu has produced more useless governors than any other political godfathers in this country.

And they call him strategist. LMAO

Imagine a combination of Sanwo-Olu, Eleyi of Ogun, and Oyetola.

I don't dislike the show but the new season is totally unnecessary. That's my opinion though but you can't force them to quit the show.

It's just sad that many people don't have a mind of their own. They only follow trends. Now that BBN has started, people like Peter Obi, 2023 elections, and other important national issues will rarely trend on Twitter. If you check the people following that show currently, you'll see a good number of them using PO's picture as their display photo.

Give them a little time, and they'll replace his photo with their favourite BBNaija contestant for this season. That's how they run from pillar to post looking for the next trend to follow

If you watch Atiku's interview with Arise tv, you'll understand why people like him are not bothered about the momentum any politician gathers online. These people understand Naija youths so wel..

Fahdiga:
No one can understand what he is passing through but suicide is never an option.

Very true. It's easy to hide behind screens and assume all is well.

DontBullshitMe:
You are calling people "barbaric" and "idiotic" for their voting decisions?

Honestly, I think you need to look into a mirror for the real definition of the word.

Shameful.

Your voting decision can be ediotic. If you take pride in voting a man that chooses (either by his actions or inactions) to make your life miserable, then you and your voting decisions are barbaric.

Commentor:
He was charged with arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation and conspiring together with Ike Ekweremadu to arrange or facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation


If it was Nigeria, you would claim he's being victimized for being igbo.

Una no dey tire?

True.

Prosper123:
Yes. I do receive dollar.. But I transfer to the person at 500 naira. But I think I need to increase it. But I don't think the bank may give me raw dollar because of its shortage

You're losing money, bro. You can visit your bank and withdraw cash at the fx counter. The shortage shouldn't affect withdrawals between $1-$500 on a single transaction.

Now is the best time to withdraw as the shortage in September will be severe.

beautyhd:
If you have someone that sends dollars to you once in a while, call them and thank them.

Most buildings under construction in Nigeria are done by people abroad.

Most people abroad I know are happy with the current state of naira.

The effect of this is killing and frustrating home based Nigerians.

10k can’t comfortably feed a family of 3 for 3 days

They're sending more money now than ever so everyone is losing, both the sender and the recipient. Cost of cement has risen by 300%. Same goes to the cost of block, and other building materials. They now have to save and pay more dollars to build in Nigeria.

More so, the building contractor shouldn't rejoice just yet. 4 years ago, you can get a decent 2011 Toyota Camry by simply saving 2.5 million. Today, you need at least 4.3-4.5 million to get the same car (that is now older and more outdated by 4 years)

Everyone is losing badly on all side but I agree that the rate of loss differs across board.

Prosper123:
I always receive some dollars into my dollar account. But how can I sale at 600 naira. If I decide to withdraw it banks and cbn exchange at 418 or so.

Are you sure you receive dollars? No bank will pay you in Naira for a dollar transaction in the first place.

Megabig:
He lost his own booth to an opponent that is not from his booth or even local government. How una de take defend people sef. Haba

Losing his polling unit could actually be a sign of failure sha after all Buhari lost Aso rock poling unit and the entire FCT to Atiku in 2019.


Immediately the result of his polling unit was announced, I already knew Nigerians were in trouble.

SmartPolician:
Where did you get that information from?

You can simply look up voting patterns in Christian and Muslim populated areas. I won't be surprised if Atiku won the majority votes in Southern Kaduna too.

vicdom:
Abeg ask am ooo. If kwankwaso was given this PDP Presidential ticket, by now he would be writing his inaugural speech because it will be a landslide victory for him. Atiku is politically a liability, he only used his money to by ticket. If not because of Christians voters in adamawa that voted for him in mass, Buhari would have disgraced him in his own state. Go and look at the result, it was the bulk of votes from the christian dominated area of adamawa that gave him a slight edge against buhari. Look at the havoc Obi wrecked against buhari in the eastern region, even when it was clear the Eastern governors were against him. In Anambra alone, buhari had just 1% of the total votes cast. Obi secored 590k against 50k that buhari got, it shows how strong you are. The then governor of Anambra, Obiano collapsed APGA structure to support Buhari due to the rift he has with Obi, still obi was able to muscle all of them and secured 99% votes in the state. Infact, Obiano released a secular before that election, mandating all the civil servants of the state to vote APC or stand a chance of losing their jobs. I won't be surprised if he loses North to Tinubu.

This just shows that Northern Muslims are truly extremists and their extremism is kinda disgusting and barbaric.

How can Muslims in Adamawa vote Buhari in 2019 against Atiku? This is not about Atiku's personality or what he failed to do. Nigeria was already a mess in 2019.

The truth is if Buhari decides to come back again, he'll still win in the north. That's how barbaric and ediotic some of them are.

EscoBAT

$112,400 = 17 million?


By the way, why is Atiku celebrating $112,400 when we all know he spent more to bribe delegates?

What a country.

RepoMan007:
Example One - We all know petrol has gone up from around N170 to around N220 per litre on the average. Now that's a 29.4% Increase in basic input for transporters, but a motorcycle ride of N50 is now N100. That's an 100% increase and not in sync with petrol price increase.

Not exactly, bro. Petrol is not the only input. From a business perspective, you have to consider the cost of bikes (for new riders), cost of maintenance and repairs (for older bikes), cost of 'engine oil,' and spare parts. The rider is human too, consider human capital, his rent, daily food expense required to ride properly, and tax. All these have increased in tandem with the rising inflation. The fuel is not the primary input here but the human capital.

Apply this explanation to the rest.

You also have to understand that inflation is driven by pressures on the demand and supply side of the economy. Demand-driven is the most common.

This is not the meaning of "being too clingy "

Clingy (emotionally dependent) is a good trait.

Yes, Nigeria will survive and thrive again...as long as the likes of Tinubu, Atiku, and Buhari wont come back to rule us after the war.

Rwanda is a case in point.

iLoveYouToo:
Organ harvesting is bout to increase. This should never have been made public

Why? This is a form of sensitisation for people running to Middle East countries because of fake job promises. The goal of an organ harvester is not to buy human organs from willing sellers. The aim is to lure, kill, and steal human parts. So whoever is thinking of selling to make money will most likely get killed in the process. The entire $200k goes to the trafficker/harvester.

And by the way, organ harvesting is not the same as ritual killing. Harvesting human organs in Nigeria is merely a waste of time. The main buyers don't live here. How many doctors can conduct a successful heart transplant in Nigeria? 99% of the clinics here won't dare.. More so, if you harvest any organ here, it will die of and become useless before you even get to the airport.

Awon scammer oshi. Stop threatening people with rebranded flu.

E.N.T. issues require the attention of consultants, bro. No one will treat you in a government-owned health centre by simply walking into the hospital. It's not a Nigerian thing. It's the same practice globally. Even in the developed world, consultants work with schedules and appointments.

A private clinic is an alternative but don't expect to meet an ENT consultant. E.N.T. consultants in your state fit no pass three or five.

Blacks in the US cannot let go of "ordinary" hug from Rosita but woke people from Abule Egba want us to accept Muslim-Muslim ticket because "religion and ethnicity" don't matter.


The mental health of Christians is at stake. We need to deal with Tinubu by voting against him.

America has ruined this world

The fact that he showed love to a woman, engaged her, and got her pregnant is very funny. Why be a woman when you have always been man?

CHoccolaTE:
Yes, the no video calls part is suspicious. From emails to physical meeting bawo?

The physical meeting will never happen. From email to wire wire. The idea is to secure the lady's trust and get her to transfer funds.

cococandy:
my kids are still small so I can’t afford to be away frequently. Trust me they are too much common work too.

I absolutely understand. It's still a sweet experience though as you can afford to take days off and still earn reasonably well. Good pay, happy kids

jacobnel:
My friend have 2 master degree in UK, and 1 in Nigeria. He is doing Sales job in UK, upon that he is seriously looking for lecturing job in Nigeria.

No be the get wey work as UK police come contest for Big brother Nigeria . Abeg UK no follow.

Advise your friend to stay back in the UK. Lecturing no be job for Naija.

cococandy:
usually 3x a week

Hmmn... Enjoyment ambassador

Munamoqel:
you need to keep quiet .may be you are located in some very remote state that hardly see oyinbo and also assume oyinbo is semi God . Only broke people that cannot afford 24 electric now .come to Park view , Osborne's estate .oyinbos in total upstream life large and celebrity life in Nigeria that only footballer can afford in there country that why they don't like rotation

That guy has probably lived in the village all his life. The kind of luxury and preferential treatment those guys get here, they certainly can't get even a quarter in their country.

Many of them living here have personal drivers, professional chef, security guards, etc. Dem born them well to fund that kind of lifestyle in their country?

How many people in America can afford to hire a personal driver, chef, and private security guard? They basically do everything on their own to save cost, not because they enjoy cooking or driving all day.

Naijaolosho2:
Keep quiet and stop saying what you don't know, your so called several oyinbo wouldn't trade the quality of life they get there for your 24m NAIRA job down here. The steady electricity they get alone does it all talkless of a host of others. Besides, when you convert the 24m NAIRA to their currency, they'll be the one losing.

Slave thinking. With the right money, you can hire oyinbo to work for you in Nigeria. Change your mentality. Africans or Nigerians aren't the only race globetrotting for better pay.

We have so many of them in Ikeja.

CHoccolaTE:
This is the second time this week I am seeing this type of thread on Nairaland.

You people starting the thread really think an intelligent, beautiful women that is versed in world politics and literature, Ernest Hemingway etc will be so starved of attention and will want to sleep with some random konji challenged guy?


Good luck on your search.

He is a scammer.

His choice.

Many expatriates from the UK, US, and China, work in Nigeria for around the same figure or less.
