OP is a classic example of a US-based Nigerian playing with career fire and when they are burnt, they start shouting racism. Almost all big US organizations have a social media policy that includes employees’ online posts, whether or not they are using the company’s device. I can guarantee that misogynist, incel posts such as his would not pass muster and could get him into very serious trouble, up to and including termination. . . . . . and yes, I speak authoritatively on the subject because it is what I know.

He has revealed enough about himself, his life and his location that anyone who wanted to deal with him seriously could forward his post history to his employer(s) and light a fire under him. Oooops! Too late to modify everything now

A lot of you come on Nairaland to air nonsense to the ignorant, thinking you are perfectly anonymous. Such a thoroughly disgusting post history

So you just realized my wife serves me African salad? Hmmmmm
That means you have not been coming around.
Check my previous threads and when I hosted few Nairalanders.
It was an AFRICAN SALAD Abuse.
Better Stockfish with African Salad.
Don't worry I will host you this year.
I won't forget. After the treat, you will wish Good Marriage upon yourself and stop attacking bachelors...

Yes, on 02 February 1970, Captain Gary Foust entered a flat spin while flying an F-106. Foust deployed the F-106’s drogue chute as a last resort in an attempt to recover from the spin. Foust escaped the doomed aircraft by ejecting at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m). The F-106 mysteriously landed itself on a Montana farm field. The F-106 was later repaired and put back into service.

Prior to ejecting, Foust trimmed the aircraft and set the engine to idle. The ejection changed the center of gravity due to the loss of weight and rocket thrust. After Foust ejected, the F-106 not only recovered from the spin, but it landed on the snowy field.

The thrust from the still-idling engine allowed the aircraft to slowly drift on its belly. While Foust was rescued by locals driving snowmobiles, the Sheriff was instructed to let the aircraft drift until it ran out of fuel. Forty-five minutes later, the jet engine shut down. The F-106 that landed itself (tail # 58-0787) was nicknamed the "Cornfield Bomber" even though it landed on a snow-covered wheat field.

Cornfield Bomber


Because there was no major structural damage, the F-106 was transported to McClellan Air Force Base to receive repairs and later returned to service. After nine years, Foust was reassigned to fly the “Cornfield Bomber” once again.

Upon its retirement, the “Cornfield Bomber” was presented to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in August 1986, where it remains on display. (Located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of Dayton, Ohio)

Nigerian-born American model, Fancy Acholonu has insinuated that she was manipulated into issuing a public apology to his ex-fiancé and actor, Alexx Ekubo, months after she called off their engagement, IGBERETV reports.

Taking to her Instagram handle on Thursday, December 29, 2022, Acholonu made an apology for hurting her ex-fiancé, Alexx Ekubo and his family. The actor also took to the comment section to appreciate her for the public apology.

Acholonu was dragged over the apology which was trailed by controversy. Following this, Acholonu has now claimed she was coerced into issuing the public apology.

In her first Instagram post of the year, Acholonu said she is now free and no longer under anyone's control. She wrote;

In a chats with her followers shortly after she made the post, Acholonu revealed that she never wanted her private life in public space. She added that she was manipulated into issuing the apology and she fell for it.

The model who also said her eyes are now open, further disclosed that people are "attacking' her without knowing why she called off their engagement.

Alexx has unfollowed Fancy on Instagram, since the apology post went viral.

The age of consent in England and Wales is 16. This is the age when young people of any sex, gender or sexual orientation can legally consent to taking part in sexual activity. This means that sexual activity between two or more people is always unlawful if at least one of the people is under the age of 16.

There is a popular believe that gecko lizards aren't harmful and shouldn't be killed. In fact it is forbidden in some culture to kill them. But sadly, recent stories we have been reading via the internet has made this hitherto house friend an enemy.

Here are few tips that can help you eliminate or repel wall geckos in your apartment:
1. Ensure you fix net in all your windows and doors (for door that is not properly sealed). This is because this creature has the potential to enter your home/office between few inches. The popular aluminium sliding windows isn't reliable as they stroll to your house with ease from the bottom even after closed.

2. If there is infestation, chase them with garlic. Cut garlic and expose them where you normally see the droplet of the faeces. This will scare them away. Gecko lizards does not like garlic smell, no wonder they are not found in kitchens where there are garlics.

3. Egg shell is another good tool in warding them off. Break the eggs and leave the shells were their activities are common. This work like magic. Gecko lizards have phobia for egg shell. They always appear as their enemy.

4. Eliminate all insect in your house via routine fumigation or use of insect killer. Gecko lizards feed on insects and if insect are not available in your home/office, they won't like to live there. So regular fumigation or use of insecticides can help eliminate insect in your house.

5. De-clutter your home/office. When there are enough luggage and baggage in your house/office, it gives them a perfect place to dwell. This should should be discouraged. Try to make your house/office as scanty as possible. The same is true with your kitchen: avoid pilling of utensils and cartons in your kitchen so that they won't have a dwelling place.

Would you buy this?

Ontarioo:
You don't earn any point defending them. Jumia is not what it used to be anymore.

What they do now is getting pictures of these products from Ali express or from other platform online, upload them on their platform and deliver the fake version to their customers. I buy stuff on Ali express as well. I've seen prices that cheap for high quality commodities and I get the same thing as paid for. The 'Nigerian mentality' of paying so much for stuff before they can be good has really affected you so bad. No wonder everyone is into crime here and there to catch-up.

It's so obvious from your signature

Ontarioo:
First picture is what I ordered on the jumia platform.
Second picture is what was delivered to me.
So Inferior and fake

If I wanted fake stuff like this, I'd go to the road side and bought at a cheaper price than what they quoted on their platform.

The jumia platform is a scam now.

This is my second experience.
The last time was a six set of boxers I ordered. I got terrible quality delivered to me in the same way. Had to return it. Took like forever to get my money back.

rickleye:
Thanks for the correction. You are right although the lines are blurred nowadays. Back in the day. You had Agberos that helped conductor-less drivers shout and get passengers or along with conductors shouted to alert passengers of buses going various directions.

Ps: CNBC suppose interview you oo if you have proof of the 120k (not even total earnings o, but house down payments only) in just 16mths in Canny. You don bench this lady wey make news headlines cos she save total 100k in 3.5 years in the USA by far. Seriously I would like to read your interview soon. That would be something

The document was procured by the then ruling party, PDP, Tafa Balogun. Why will they forge to favor their enemy. In any case, opposition has written to CSU to confirm his school, has written to get a CTC of court papers, it won take anything to write the US Government to confirm the letter instead of SM accusation.
If there's substance in the drug case BAT would have been in court since Jan. Trust politicians.

megastu:
It's not as if he can't have all that money, just that most times some of us are not truthful to ourselves. The way Canada is built, most people are meant to be average, and truth be told the majority of us will never get the 100k job but whatever you make you can be content with it and still live a good life.

The only thing i find strange is that people insult Naija so much and yet most of the money they make is either through or from Nigeria. They fund contracts and do a whole lot of other things. I know someone who provides POF at 3-5% per month. some others do CAD/Naira exchange. Many are Immigration Advisers. Some others are still doing their Naija work and combining it with jobs in Canada. Many others have worked so long for oil companies and their gratuities and pension funds are mind-blowing. These guys don already soft from Naija before they went to Canada, so a down payment for a house is not an issue.

The bottom line is that while many will be able to save, some won't be able due to the low earning power and high cost of living, but be consoled with the fact that you have your sanity in check and living in a very peaceful clime. I have traveled to many countries and lived in quite a few. Canada is one of the most expensive countries in the world, apart from maybe Switzerland and other countries I do not know of. just that Canada cushions the effect with handouts like Child benefits etc. Teachers in Ontario have gone on strike twice within the past month.

ednut1:
Let me not use myself. My friend in similar company i worked was getting about 4,400 cad dols net. He was saving 2k monthly. His net salary in Nigeria was about 400k naira. Note he was working for same company in Nigeria and continued at same company when he got to Canada.

Another was making 3500 a month and was saving 1200 to 1500.

Another is making about 6k net and saving about 2,500
All in Toronto area.

The problem is many Nigerians especially females they want to love above their means. I know someone still doing hustle job ( customer care) while she doing some tech courses. Salary 2200 a month, but is staying in an apartment costing 1700. Well na fine babe so maybe clitocurrency will augment her other bills. Some want to drive benz , some want to eat on uber eats or restaurant daily. One bed room condos in a luxury condo in Toronto is about 2200 now, but there are other apartments you can get for 1500

cooooooks:
It is. Grocery prices have risen, some items more than 100%.

Pasta is up 70%, canned beans is up 150%, rice is up 70%, meat is up too 30% plus.

I've travelled to a few provinces this year and prices have risen everywhere. In far places like NL, it's even worse. Even AB prices are up.

A single person that shops smartly, will still spend $500+ a month on groceries if they pay full price.

To save, they could:
- only buy on sale
- buy meat on clearance and in semi bulk (need a good freezer but could also lead to wastage).
- use a food bank for rice, potatoes, cereals, yogurt.

CountVersailles:
Some recent threads coming up here have just been plain, unadultrated lies about cost of living in Canada or some other advanced countries. But I'm choosing Canada because it's the one I know best about that it's just outright lies. Many of them will post and will start claiming that you can't save $200 per month or that bills will kill you and you won't be able to save more than $100 after all bills. Nothing is farther from the truth. Don't let all these dreamkillers and wretched Nigerians who are looking for company in their naija hellholes lie to you about the realities in Canada. Things are much better than they claim.

Typical cost of living in Canada if you have your head screwed on right and are not one of those crazies looking for social media approval or tryin g to show that you have finally arrived after living in extreme poverty in Nigeria.

Accommodation --- $1500 (this is the average you pay for a good, clean place to stay). Obviously not in downtown areas of any city, but why would you want to stay downtown anyways? Who are you seeking to impress? You were not staying in Victoria Island or Ikoyi before you left Nigeria. Instead you were staying in Egbeda, Iyana Ipaja or some other Lagos shithole, but suddenly you are in Canada and you must stay in central Toronto. Hunger wey you reach you dey do press-up. Except you are living in Alberta or Manitoba where $1500 will get you something super high-end, in places like Toronto this gets you something relatively comfortable and YOU WILL BE FINE.

Internet - $85 (this is high-end, super-fast, rarely disappointing internet). Not mtn that only works in the night, or spectranet that doesn't work that well in the Egbeda you were staying back in Lagos.

Hydro - $50 (except you are cooking every single day, you shouldn't pay more than this) And why should you be cooking everyday anyways? Don't you have something better to do with your time?

Car insurance - $200 (most people will pay only $200 for car insurance). But if you are working minimum wage, you are already pushing it. If you don't have absolute need for a car, there's no reason you should be buying one. Not everybody drives. Parking is expensive. You don't automatically translate your life from nigeria to canada and think because you were driving in Nigeria you should be driving in Canada. But let's even say you are stubborn and want to buy a car. Okay, I have included it. Bus pass of $50 per month should do you. There are incentives to buy bus passes for cheap if you are a low-income earner. Low-income earner go still earn 18m naira net per annum o! Wait until I get to the earnings. But let's sha add you car, since you are stubborn anyway.

Parking - $85 per month. Extreme case. Most times it's less.

Groceries - $300. You shouldn't spend more than this in a month. Except you are one of those stupid Nigerians who think they must be going to African store every time and buying Naija indomie when significantly cheaper walmart indomie of various flavours yapa anyhow.

We are already at $2220. If this is your monthly spending, you have a problem already. But let's sha say this is what it is.

Now, how much do you earn? Let's say you are doing one of the lowliest possible jobs working in walmart and telling people 'thank you for coming to walmart" everyday, and helping them checkout and putting on a forceful smile. Let's just assume. And you combine that with car wash cash jobs no weekends. There's no reason you should not be making at least $3000 net in a month. This is the least. Possible to make more.


So, now we have arrived at someone doing one of the poorest jobs and living one of the most comfortable lives, and he's still looking at saving at least $700 every month. So, where are those $200 or $100 ideas coming from? Or those who are claiming you will even be in debt? It's just preposterous to suggest that you can't save.

Now, at $3000 monthly, you are earning $36000 net in a year, which is just ridiculous if you are a professional. If you look well enough, educate yourself well and market yourself too, you will get a professional job (even if na customer service or something else), and you will earn net above $40,000. There are plenty Nigerians, and I mean plenty, who are earning net above $40000. Now, think about how much more you can save since this comes down to $3300 monthly. You will be saving at least $1000 every month!

Obviously, these calculations are for a single person. If you are married just multiply it by two as long as the woman is not the lazy type who just wants to sit at home and not work.

Additionally, there's no reason you should be incuring too many costs if you are earning little. Some of the things you are chasing in Canada you did not have in Nigeria. But suddenly you have arrived and things must change? Cut yourself some slack.

In conclusion, don't let anyone lie to you. You can save a lot of money working in Canada. This is truer if you are a working professional. Most working professionals earn north of $80000 gross. Think about how much more they can save even with those expenses above. And that's just for one person. If it's double income with a couple, you are looking at $160,000 gross. Honestly, by the end of the month, you guys will think you won a jackpot. Little wonder you see Nigerian couples here buying 4, 5 houses on mortgage and paying without hassles. Do your research
