Nobody will send his forex, no one trust you. Dangote media report has done more harm to economic development. Nigeria is not Lagos

Inspirer1:
Dangote may be right with this revelation.

You think he's joking. When he said he only fears God and not man. Bring it on, let's get dirty 💯.
Selling Tinubu will be very difficult during the next election

Tinubu should better do the needful

E go reach everybody ai

APC likely to crash, no smoke without fire🔥.

Rebels gathering 💯

Good day Nairalanders, last year I made a thread about my confusion relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria to invest and got different opinions.. https://www.nairaland.com/7724820/relocate-stay-nigeria-serious-dilemma

Some people advised I stay and some insisted I travel (i wished I started making plans to travel then).The country wasn’t that bad as naira was around 700-800/$ and inflation wasn’t this bad.. And also, I was in a better financial standing with properties worth atleast 70m as of then,

Walk with me.


I have been a crypto trader for 7 years and literally made 90% of my money from crypto which set me up. I bought properties worth millions , my car, one for my mom and settled a few persons and finally got married to my longtime GF. I felt untouchable and didn’t for once think things would take a different turn in my life. However, my life took a drastic turn when I lost my daughter shortly after birth. This devastating event sent me into a downward spiral, affecting my mental health and trading decisions that cost me thousands of dollars including my trading capital.
After I lost my trading capital, I was broke with a grieving wife and put my first property for sale.

Sold the property for 16m by then dollar was already 850 and rapidly growing, I removed some money for house upkeep for months and converted the rest to dollar to continue on my crypto trading since that was my only source of income and my area of specialty.
I was grieving and trading (don’t know if it was my coping mechanism). Traded recklessly at the same time having issues in my family cos my mom made serious issues after we lost our baby, all this while I never knew she hated my wife and her family.. she initially told me not to get married to the girl and her family siting so many spiritual reasons but all fell on a deaf ear because I couldn’t imagine my mom making decisions for me or telling me who I should marry or not.. tension grew in the family and at the same time I was fighting for my finances together with dealing with a wife that just lost a child.. terrible period for me.. I was in between the devil and the deep blue Sea.. things didn’t go as planned with my trading and I ended up blowing up that money., and it downed on me that things are getting really serious and I need to face these challenges squarely.

I got broke again and since I’m a family man, I must always provide for my family so I always have to do something.. I contemplated selling my second property worth 30m for weeks before I finally concluded on selling it since I need money for investment or something to plan the money with. That was when I created that thread debating on traveling or staying back in Nigeria.. investing that money in Nigeria was not feasible and making sense to me considering the inflation as naira was almost hitting 900-100/$.
I didn’t know what business to do that won’t make me throw away my money or waste my time. Crypto was still the only business I was good in so I decided to diverse another means so I won’t loose money. I realized over trading was the problem because I was basically looking for a new project to invest in which most of them turned out to be scam.. so I made research on good projects to invest that money on

I found good projects I was confident on. I had everything already figured out. The plan was to invest that money and not trade till the end of 2024/2025 since I sold the property July 2023. I also remember vividly how my wife told me to use part of that money to buy other landed properties but I was adamant and felt I got things figured out already.. so I did exactly as I planed and also moved from that house we were living in to a different place and also started to learn tech. Along the line I got discouraged learning tech and felt I was wasting my time instead of looking for ways to make money. I realized it’s quite difficult for some people that have seen millions of naira to start learning a new skill or going to school.. it’s actually one of the hardest things to do. it takes a different kind of motivation and drive to push urself.

I don’t know how it happened but I found myself going back to trading again, I keep dipping my hands in my long term cryoto investments each time I needed capital to trade since it was taking forever for the coin to grow.. (if I had left what i invested, it would’ve been worth $300k by now with the 25m from my property I sold )

It was really a humbling situation for me. I went from having my life figured out to fighting again for my life… All these period my wife was already pregnant again after she got a miscarriage after loosing our first child. So now I’m not just fighting for myself and wife but a child is in the picture now.. things got worse in the new house we moved to as I kept loosing money on money.. I never had any profitable month in the new house.. I usually have eye for good projects to invest in but I began loosing my confidence and ended my selling so many good projects I invested in before they breakthrough.. I’ve had a case of missing out on a project that would’ve giving me $600k just because I sold it too early. Several other projects too. It was a repetition of circles. It seems I was going round in an unending circles.

I ended up selling another property in my new house worth 20m and also my car worth 11m, it happened like magic and.. I can’t really explained how these things happened but it happened too fast like some kind of evil manipulation or some gambling addiction on crypto.. I wasn’t a careless person, I don’t smoke and don’t drink, don’t womanise either.. so many thoughts ran through my mind even about my mom telling me not to marry my wife because she have had so many bad dreams about the girl and her family, she believes my problems started since I married the girl and she warned me.. God also blessed me with a child as my wife put to birth successfully

I asked my self could it be spiritual or physical? I also come from a relatively poor family that im the only grandchild doing well in the whole family from A-z.. my father died years ago.. my wife’s family is a progressive family that her cousins and direct siblings are in America and Canada so how could what my mom is saying be true. Well I never believed in any of those things right from the beginning but seeing the trajectory of my life in a space of 2 years make me begin to wonder

I already believe it to be my recklessness and probably gambling on crypto hoping to hit it big but on the other hand I’m not a newbie in this biz,, I have been grinding in this for atleast 7 years and got experience in this biz, its seems my years of hard work got wiped in a space of a year +

Now I’ve a property left valued at 18m that’s like a lifeline and already decided I won’t invest in crypto but use that money to travel out,, I’m back to learning the tech skill I have been avoiding for years and pushing myself hard everyday. The aim is to use the rest of the year to improve my skill to a significant level and be good at it by next year

This feels like a learning process and at same time a humbling experience for me, I have been without a vehicle for the past 4 months now.. I’ve made so much in life and almost lost everything even at a young age.. life can be very funny, when I had all the money I lost my child, when God finally blessed me with a child, I’m now fighting for my finances with my rent almost due and waiting for my property to be sold before I balance my rent.

I know i probably would’ve started a physical business in the past but looking at the current situation of Nigeria and inflation hitting ath I doubt my business could’ve survived but still this is a lesson of me putting all my eggs in one basket and still thinking Nigeria has any future. If I probably had travelled years ago when things weren’t this bad in Nigeria and I still had lots of resources, I doubt I would be in this situation..

Selling that land feels right now like I’d be starting life afresh with no property to my name… it hurts me so bad I’m even ashamed to explain this to anyone. Only my wife understands the level of damage that has happened in our lives the past 2 years. I can’t even tell my mom details of all of these.

I’m writing this out there so people can learn one or two from it,, I’d be 32 in few months time and I’m picking up myself by learning a tech skill and relocate from the country. I also plan relocating to Abuja first so I can be close to the embassy as regards to visa interviews runs etc I want to dedicate the next 1 year in traveling runs and perfecting a tech skill I can bank on when I travel. My story is quite deeper than this but I’m not a long writer so I just touched the most important part.

I will probably come back here in a year time or 2 years to write my progress in life . Thanks for reading

Try PR migration Canada/Australia. Stay positive man

Zwooks:
Wonderful. We now have two presidents. In what capacity is Wike meeting the security heads ?

Acting Governor

guobe:
Someone was telling me today that the price of a piece of yam in Nigeria is 5,000 naira.
He said I should go to the market and confirm it myself.
How true is this?
Nigeria we really hail thee.

Country bad oOoOO

helinues:
Dont hide behind your keyboard to incite others.

It's wickedness

That's some 💯 truth, we pray for better days.

Jagaban has lost it.

Signs of failed state, fear civilian rebellion. We pray for better days

leviman:
Any planned protest that has a vague demand like end bad governance that the government will not be able to respond to, will not produce any good results and likely continue until it is hijacked by hoodlums and looters.

A genuine, sensible protest will always have a clear, specific demand that the government can respond to, like don't remove fuel subsidy of the 2012 protest, or the Bangladesh protesters demand to end quota system, or protest asking the government to open borders, bring back fuel subsidy.

By the way, adding demands in the middle of protest after the government fulfill the initial demand will also result in bloody confrontation as seen in the end sars and the recent Bangladesh protest.

Demand or not, the government knows what to do.
My in-law who is a APC politician are busy compaling list of people the federal government wants to give money. Tinubu has lost it💯
If violence picks down north, e go bad. Our security personnel are understaffed. I pray for better days. This is signs of failed state. The last election is making Nigerians resist all jagaban policies. Everything he does will fail💯

bigwig071:
By next year cost of food will reduce because people are now farming... tunubu will now say that he told us to give him time

My brother, fertilizer is expensive. Insecurity has stopped farming in hinterlands and remote places

Beremx:
This protest is really giving Tinubu sleepless nights. Instead of inviting traditional rulers, why can't he do a national broadcast and calm angry Nigerians down? Who are those even advising him?

Na wa o!

Agbado politics 101--- He thinks Nigeria is Lagos

Rivers of blood

Macphenson:
I was expecting Fubara to have long done this. All those assembly members their houses should be bulldozered by now.

All the govt properties Nwike acquired illegally should have been listed and revoked with immediate effect.

You know the matters 💯

Also turn those lands to Primary health care and Public schools (primary)

Tinubu will deploy Jagaban Army

ruggedtimi:
Chai.....dolphins...around 2004 i could remember vividly when i saw two dolphins diving out of the ocean at my village in brass bayelsa state. So growing up they will tell us that if you drown in the NUN river, dolphin will rescue and bring you back onshore.

Interesting

KnownUnknown:
Some of you igbos are really pathetic creatures. Everyone knows government corruption has no tribe or ethnicity but somehow you manage to bring your low self esteem bullshit to the topic.

So, if they are “agbadorians”, are you Igbo filth “yamarians”?

So Agbadorians are Yoruba

Agbado man

No to baby whales

EreluRoz:
Hope you have sixpacks too because Nigerian men will be carrying potbelly and complaining about women's weight. Some of them can't even see their penis again but they complain the most.

Stop playing
