Do you blame them?

No, as long as I'm not involved.

Poverty is not the sole reason people embrace the por.n industry. It pays more than many white collar jobs.

misreal:
that person may have his or her own back up plans too.

True.

95% of ladies in relationships have a backup plan.

See title. God abeg..

In 1993 when N1 million was equivalent to $45000.


The N1 million would buy 285,000 units of First Bank shares at N3.50k. Due to the growth of the business in the last 30 years and bonus shares given to shareholders the 285,000 units of shares is now 14,800,000 units with a market value of N225 million

But 1 million in 1993 isn't a small money sha considering the fact that Nigeria's minimum wage was only about N300.


Many of those who could afford N1 million in 1993 are probably dead now. If they are still alive, N225m may not hold much value to them. That's around the cost of two APC presidential tickets.

There are different levels of hardship and suffering. So yeah, I agree that Nigerians suffering from hunger are not on social media.

Probably fake but expect that figure soon.

LikeAking:
I am not against MTN. Even Glo also do the same..

Nigerian companies hedge their funds in foreign countries cos of inflation..

Even you will do the same..

No one like to loose money..

If you remember Emefile suspended companies in Naija from remitting funds…

99.9% of Multinational Companies all over the world hedge their funds in U.S. dollars. Stop listening to charlatans (Reno, Ben Bruce, etc.).

LikeAking:
Imagine say MTN one remit the trillions of Naira they have made in Nigeria to South Africa..


They have to convert Naira to dollars first..

No even Naira to Rand or gold..

Gold even better.

That alone as destroyed the Naira kpata kpata, and give the dollar more value.


Imagine all the multi national and foreign companies doing the same thing like MTN, E don finish be that..

The worst of all is imagine our own Nigerian business remitting funds to their foreign accounts, that’s the end of discussion..

They hide the above nonesense they are doing, with the we are importing too much narrative..

You want the likes of Glo, Dangote, UBA, Firstbank, Flutterwave, etc. to operate across Africa, even London and U.S., but you don't want Netflix to operate in Naija?

Ordinary UBA operates in more than 15 countries, including France, UK, and the US. yet that hasn't stopped the US. economy from growing..

The operations of MNEs in your country isn't the reason the economy is so bad. Do not allow the useless drug dealers in power make a mess of your education.

Nigeria had more Multinational companies during the days of Jonathan. If low MNE operations promotes economic development, then Nigeria should have gotten better since the exit of several MNEs in the last 8 years. Shoprite never run? Procter & Gamble never run? Framan Industries never run? So why hasn't your economy improved since their exit?

We need to create a policy in this country that permits the withdrawal of people's certificate.

lebienconnu:
That was a very clueless response from Olufunmilayo. He demonstrated a shocking lack of basic comprehension ability expected from a medical doctor. What Ben Bruce said is absolutely correct. Buy Nigeria to make Naira regain its strength. The present value of Naira is its true value.

That utterly disrespectful assault can never be justified.

An elder is telling you to buy Naija to grow naija but the same elder sent his three sons to US.-based schools, wears a foreign suit as seen on his profile. You and that useless elder are shamefully shameless.

Same way Tinubu urged you all to endure hardship while his son flies Nigeria's presidential jet to watch horse riding matches in Kano. Dem no say una no get sense. Stup!d lots.

doggedfighter:
I didn't type that

Read the thread and see the heathens imagine vain things

Iffahear! You're a bad girl....A very bad girl.

Love the name. Congrats to the family.

doggedfighter:
Many are already seeing the brother's di**k inside her.

While others are already seeing her pregnant with the brother's baby and abandoned.

Plenty headache for nothing

Ahhh dogged?

doggedfighter:
Why so ?

...probably because you will always find more people with suspicious behaviours in clusters on Sundays.

doggedfighter:
What kind of proposition is this,Acid ?

Whaaaaaat ??

Ask a policeman around you, they'll tell you that Sundays are the best days to identify/arrest criminals.

Have you tried walking around your street on a typical Sunday or Friday? Forget the 50% Christian, 50% Muslim sh|t. Those are mere affiliations. The actual % of Nigerians that go to church on a typical Sunday is less 5%. Do not let anyone deceive you.

Majority of Nigerians are not Christians/Muslims. Have you ever seen a yahoo boy in your street go to church? I have never seen one. Everyone in my church (a small church) has a known profession/job/business. In fact, these days, Sundays are for footballs, betnaija shops, and hookup. If you want to curb crime in Nigeria, start by picking up people on a Sunday morning. You will always meet a lot of hooligans and criminals in your streets on a typical Sunday morning.

"A very disciplined and intelligent born again Christian" indeed.


How did you come up with that? ...because you meet for a few hours in church?? lol.

Emperormartin:
No matter the angle you look at it this is the highest hypocrisy from Yoruba Muslims living in Lagos...

South west States that have been ravaged by Fulani herdsmen over the years even as at recent as last week in Osun. No protest!!!

Now it is Gaza conflict you guys are protesting.

This clearly shows you guys supports the killings of your people by Fulani herdsmen.

Do you expect Muslims to protest against fellow Muslims? Lol.

Any day you see Muslims gather to protest, best believe it's about religion/domination and never about human rights.

Yobabad:
Nothing like cleric, he is a Yoruba Muslim immam , if it is a pastor now, you people will write it boudly , he is an Islamic imam period

That is how they operate. Senseless journalists.

Realguyman1:
Why do most of u always like talking nonsense? Is there anywhere in Nigeria that there is no hardship now?

Did the people living in lagos, Ph, or Abuja told u it's because they are living there that's why they are facing hardship? House rent in my place is almost as expensive in most part of lagos and Abuja now. So why talking off point?

Good. Is there anywhere in the world where people are not lonely? Does living in Canada means immunity from loneliness and depression?? Don't we have lonely people in different parts of the world? Why are you trying to invalidate someone else's struggles because they live in Canada?

AllDModsAreMaad:
You're sense less, he is not complaining like the stu pid lady in that video.

Do you even know his location?
Idi ot, you think it is everyone that resides in those places you mentioned?

"If you think the economy of your current location does not favour you, go back your useless village."


This is the same thing you ediotic souls do when you try to invalidate people's feelings because you think they're in a better place.

tuzle:
how does the two correlate pls. He isn't complaining of being lonely and sad where he his.

It simply means you lots should stop invalidating people's concerns and pains just because you think they're in a better place. It's like asking rich people why they're crying just because they have more money Or asking why they haven't chosen poverty. A stup!d question.

The rich also cries. Being in a developed country is not an antidote for depression.

GabrielYulaw:
They are not being sent on errand to mold cement or go up NEPA pole and reconnect light. They are being sent 2 minutes away from home to buy food ingredients that they themselves will eat. So I don't get why so many here are freaking out about that.

Exactly.

checkmatez:
Okay no problem
When you dey come back?

Why haven't you gone back to your village despite the hardship in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt?

Commodification of the Naira with cassava

Kobojunkie:
That is not what child labor means abeg!

Lol

Kobojunkie:
1. No be Nigeria we dry talk about again where kids are free to roam on their own sometimes?

2. If I am not offering the kid a part-time gig or paying for the service, I would do it. Friendship with the parent should not be construed as right to the friend's kids.

No, you can't pay a kid for his or her services. That is child labour. Errand, on the other hand, is part of our upbringing in Nigeria.

To be fair to the OP, she has really tried. Allowing that many kids to walk into her home whenever they please is something. Personally, I can't deal. I'll develop instant mental breakdown and trauma. 5-6 children ke?

Another strange thing is why the woman allows her children to visit someone she doesn't want her kids to run errands for. That's not very common in Nigeria. If someone lets their children visit you and eat freely in your house, you can bet they feel safe around you and treat you like family.

So yes, the op has a strong point for feeling "used." There is no free lunch anywhere, whether we all agree or not. Even if a younger relative (family) comes visiting, you'll need to get used to doing some work in the house, or you visit with your personal chef and maids.

But then...... Would I send another man/woman's child on an errand, especially someone I haven't met in a long while? I don't think so. It's not because there's anything wrong with that or with feeding them in my opinion, but personally, I don't want to take responsibility for any problems. I don't want anyone connecting any dots when your kid develops stomach ache.

As some posters have mentioned, some Nigerians (especially the poor) have a strange mentality. Some NGO folks were accused of trying to steal the destiny of school children recently. Their offence? They distribute free sanitary pads to school children (as seen on Twitter).

georgeakins:
I don't care if you come from a cave

Kwam 1 is greater and richer than all the musicians in ibo land put together, both dead and living.

It is natural to envy him when your backward region cannot produce his equal for the next 100 years.

You don't care where I came from but you want to die on top Igbo people's matter and where they come from. Lol.

georgeakins:
Kwam 1 is greater and richer than all the musicians in ibo land put together ,both dead and alive.

That is why Ibos envy him

Firstly, I am not igbo but yeah, I understand that you are very much daf.t and senseless.

Secondly, I do not give a fvck whether KWAM1 is richer than everyone in my village or not. I have made my point with a clear secondary evidence. Leave the wealth and money argument for rich people.

Ginaz:

why did she not tell me she doesn't want her kids to run errands for me?

No, she will never mention it to you. And even if she did, your reaction would be worse than what you have already done.

Unsaid words are more powerful, so learn to discern. The moment her daughter refused to show up, you should have gotten the message.
