This is a truckload of shit


First of all, $10,000 is about #4Million and not #1.2M like you said.

And nowhere will 1.2million naira buy you one plot of land in Lagos, I think you need to pay Nigeria, it must have been 6-10years since you left.

Plots of land in Lagos go nothing less than 10million naira.

These are facts on a truckload of reality.

$10,000 equal to 4 million? My bad, then its better than I thought earlier.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. There are lands sold even for far lesser prices in Lagos. https:///lagos/land-and-plots-for-sale

I'm into estate management/agency. Even in Victoria Island/lekki where a plot of land can go up to 50 million, depending on the size, you can still get a 50×100 for less than 5 million, and lesser than 1 million naira in places like Ikorodu and more. You can see for yourself in the link above.

Seriously? I should be the one questioning your knowledge cos I live in Nigeria, Warri, to be precise.

So, the fact remains, you're still very wrong in your money comparison.

Secondly, several job openings mean Americans can earn from multiple streams, in Nigeria there are not even enough jobs to go round. People who run two jobs starved to save their income used to establish the second business.

The issue of housing in USA is being regulated by government through accessible mortgages for those who have got impressive credit history and tax returns. In Nigeria, it is literally non-existent or performing abysmally. Backs in US are not exempted from mortgages, they may fail to access mortgages "within their means" and end up living miserable lives through their time on earth. Their problem.

Seriously? Who does it better than Nigerians when it comes to multiple streams of income? Don't make me laugh. Nobody cares about job openings here anymore cause, like you rightly said, the ones available ain't enough to go round. And this is what actually defined the average Nigerian. Many Nigerians are doing well today because out of nothing they create something for themselves. Apart from the northern part of the country that has a culture of begging (amajiris) go to the south and see how people are creating wealth against the odds with no government support. The average Nigerian youth today is far more productive than what BBC and CNN wants you to think. I live here Mr.

How many AAs businesses have access to business credit? Credit companies prefer to loan credit to white own businesses in America than to black own businesses, and one of the reasons for that is poor or no credit ratings. Why wouldn't that be when you live in a country that is highly divided across racial lines, where things and opportunities look to be equal on the surface but highly segregated in implementation.

How many black Americans own their own homes? Here in Nigeria, even the ordinary garri trader that moves garri from Isoko to Bayelsa are building houses here and there. Nobody relies on government or mortgage companies here to own homes, succeed and create wealth. That's the stark difference between the Average Nigerian millionaire and the AAs in America.

Just go over to Fiverr and Upwork and check the statistics there. You will discover that, Pakistanis are the only ones that compete with Nigerians in terms of multiple stream of income. There are thousands of Nigerians earning $1000 or more in two to three weeks on such platforms, but your BBC didn't tell you that.

Second, your claims that Nigerian millionaires are doing better in Nigeria, against their colleagues in same bracket in the USA may not be right.

If you have been keeping abreast with local Nigerian news, you must have read news of inflation, massive one. Prices of goods keep inflating, while Dollar keeps getting expensive.



Now MOST IMPORTANTLY, you lot think there are many Nigerians above 20million worth of value. That is very erroneous. I don't want to pull statistics up from my ass but truly 2/3 of "millionaires" in Nigeria are less than 20million Naira worth, and they base majorly in big cities of Lagos, Kano, Onitsha, Port Harcourt, Warri and Ogun.

Nigerians who have over 20million Naira worth are Politicians, "few" celebrities, Pastors and top class federal civil servants working in federal agencies like the Central Bank, Military, NNPC, FIRS, Customs, et cetera.

You dare not think there are many of them, otherwise Nigeria wouldn't have been the poverty capital that it is, leading in aids from foreign organizations.

Now, to the Nigerians worth less than 20 million naira, it is left for you to guess what that can do for you in the USA, when Nigerian Nurses in USA earn far more than that in a year minus tax. Like I said, you can guess how little that can go in the USA.

Here is a link belong to BBC, saying more than 60% Nigerians in Nigeria are poor. Incase you want to go on with AA versus Nigerians dick measuring contest.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-17015873&ved=2ahUKEwiAhfzPvdvpAhUMD2MBHdf4DOAQFjAJegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw38Ka5dm7p-dWE8pTdlgkgs

My friend, I live here and you can't school me on what I'm experiencing first hand. The recent uprise in the prices of goods is mainly due to the lockdown and the downward trend of the naira is due mainly to the death of the international crude oil price. Its affecting other oil producing countries too.

But here is the beauty of the whole thing, people are still creating wealth and it doesnt negate the fact that the numbers of Nigerians building homes is on the rise and higher than ever.

In fact, the recent devaluation of the naira against the dollar has very little weight considering that the government sharply reduced the domestic prices for petrol, which also have a multiplier effect on the entire economy and purchasing prowess of the naira.

Yes, I still maintain that Nigerian millionaires are doing better than their AAs counterparts whom you classified to be in the lower class. This is because, with their little millions, they build houses, expand businesses and create more wealth for themselves. How many black Americans have houses of their own?

You are even more wrong and ill inform to think that the numbers of Nigerian millionaires with 20 millions are the few in churches, military, FIRS, etc. That just get to show that you don't know how wealth is created here. You don't expect the woman that transport garri and fish and pure water from Ughelli to Bayelsa to tell u she has millions in her account. BBC didn't tell you that more than 90% of the people building and owning their own houses in Nigeria are not working in any government ministries or agency, not in the armed forces and not in any oil company or leaders of any church, but are people who are engaged in one business or the other.

Besides, your definition of a millionaire is stereotypical and restricted to the American way. Here in Nigeria, a millionaire is the mama-put woman or the petty trader who created wealth for herself, send her children to school, buy land and build a home for themselves. How many AAs have that?

jacksonkennedy:
are you serious? Let me tell you...a black American is most likely going to be in debt and a tenant. The number of residential duplexes and mansions in Lagos and Abuja alone are more than the homes actually owned by African Americans. I have not included duplexes and mansions in other cities across Nigeria.
Apart from the entertainers and sports personalities, most blacks work 9 to 5. In Nigeria you have many businesses men involved in hardcore businesses like oil and gas, etc. How many blacks own oil wells or are involved in resource extraction business in America? Zero!

What exactly do you think African Americans own? Why do you think all the black stars came from poverty and sold crack on the streets? Do you know that there are more black Americans in prison than Nigerians in prison! Yet black Americans are not even a quarter of Nigeria population.

Can you tell me 2 African Americans who own industries that produce physical products? All of them with very few exceptions are entertainers and sports personalities. Is that sustainable?

Do you know that Davido lives better than some top black stars that you know of? You are checking naira in terms of dollars and not in terms of what it can buy for you in Nigeria. We built a duplex in Ibadan with 50k dollars. In new Jersey, you can't even buy a one room self contained built 100 years ago with 50k

Men, you just hit the nail on the head. That was the point I was trying to show him also.

The exchange value of your money doesn't make you rich, it is what it can buy you where you live that makes you rich. That is why there are many and will always be many well-off Nigerians in terms of business and personal success compared to their brothers in AA.

Just imagine, in spite of the senseless government and bad leadership this nation has been exposed to for many decades, the average Nigerian still does comparatively well in business and personal success. Even with no constant electricity, bad roads, and overall poor infrastructure, people still hustle and make it in business. What would happen if we have electricity constant and good roads takes over? In the next decade, nobody will recognize this country again because, Nigerians are workaholics when it comes to personal development and business management. The numbers of people owning their own buildings in Nigeria is in all time high. If we can have constant power supply, many things will take shape in this country.

flyingpig:
Jesus Christ miss are you really doing this

Millionaires in Nigeria are equivalent to lower class middle men in USA, when you highlight the low purchasing power of the Naira.

Mind you, more than 60% of Nigerians spend less than $1 per day according to UN.


Btw, those buildings are multinational companies, banks and federal government agencies

Millionaires in Nigeria are equivalent to lower middle class in America? Man, this is a fallacy. You said a lot of sensible things earlier, bit this one isnt correct at all.

The comparable value of your money isn't what make upu rich, Rather, its the Purchasing power of your money that actually make you rich.

An AA can have $10,000, which is about 1.2 million in Naira, but still may not be able to buy a plot of land in New York City. Whereas, a Nigerian with 1.2 million can buy a plot of land in an Economic hub center like Lagos. What makes the difference isn't the exchange value between the two currencies, but the purchasing power parity (PPP). That is why there are less poor people in China compared to America, despite the latter being the world's number one economy in terms of GDP.

So, your assertion that Nigerians millionaires are equivalent to lower class Americans is way over the hills. Nigerian millioniares are doing better in Nigeria compared to the people you classified them with in America.

TripleOh7:
The aboriginals that the British colonized and killed and have been treating like shit ever since they stole their lands are the Red Indians.

I'm sure you've read the story of Pocahontas before.

But even if blacks will outnumber whites in the US of A in decades to come, it won't mean shit if the blacks are still psychologically enslaved to the whites.

Mental chains are way stronger than physical chains.

Blacks all over the world generally speaking are under the mental colonization of the whites.

We are bound by their mental chains.

What we can do is either to wage a war and enslave the whites for 1,000 years

Or

We start training our kids to view themselves as gods.

You just spoke my mind. You're very informed.

flyingpig:
You love the black people so much, I guess for engaging in crimes like theft, pimping, burglaries, cocaine trafficking, robbery, murder, gangsterism, and a horde shit of others.

They are (the ones in America), are a successful race but that does not go to say they don't have their ills.

Rewind to the Blacks here in Nigeria, why havent they become as successful as their racial siblings in the US?

Your statement is not valid at all. For every crime that black people commit, whites have done more. Unfortunately, the justice system is wired and implemented along racial lines to favour whites and disfavour other races, especially blacks.

The murder of George Floyd and the violent protest that's currently ravaging the country is a manifestation of years of oppression of black people.

White people have helped the modern world to evolve in terms of innovations and development. But they've also done more evil to the world than any other race.

Whyem15:
Seriously? How old are you? Age shouldn't even be an excuse. Why on earth would you use "certain videos on YouTube" as a reference? I could open a YouTube chanel and feed my viewers with whatever information/disinformation I wish to feed them and people like you will believe. Especially when it comes to issues pertaining to US or Israel since those countries "can do no wrong". On the same YouTube you referenced, there are several videos critical of the iron dome and patriot systems but you chose to watch and believe those that are favour of your views on Israel and US.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2014/07/15/172055/an-explanation-of-the-evidence-of-weaknesses-in-the-iron-dome-defense-system/

The above is an academic article posted on MIT's technology review website by professor. Theodore Postol of the institution. This an example of a sensible refrence when making your point on public forums

Stop wasting your time with kids. It's only someone with a delusional mindset that will think Iran will be pulling completely out of Syria after years of military and humanitarian investment in the country.

They didn't pull out when Israel has complete free pass to and fro the Syrian airspace, and at a time when Assad was just only in control of a tiny piece of the country, it is now that Syria is now in control of more than 95% of its territory they will be running off for so-called intensified Israeli bombing, which in truth has been drastically reduced compared to the early stages of the crisis. Some people just reason with their anus.

Some of this same western pigmified propagandist also hinted in a recent article that Russia is looking to ditch Assad to appease the rebels...(rebels, the overwhelming majority of whom have been sent to heaven for judgement by Russian air power)....for a peaceful transition in the country. Well, I don't blame them. When coronavirus makes you jobless, you've to create job for yourself. That explain why you're seeing idiotic posts that Iran is running away from Syria, Russia is ditching Assad, Putin wants Iran out of Syria, and so on. The effect of Coronavirus.

Iran and Israel will forever be at loggerheads come what may, and that's one sad reality that will plague the Middle East till Christ returns.

So let the kids ride on with their delusion, especially with using YouTube videos to hype the patriot defense system, the most underperformed air defense system in the world.

Brethren. I just noticed yesterday that its become difficult for me to pass faeces. I have to strain and strain to release one or two small drops, and the worst is that, the anus area keep pressing as if I want to poo. But each time I rush to the toilet, the thing doesn't come out.

So, I'm wondering if there is any herbal cure or alternative medical solution other than surgery that can help.

Thanks for your much anticipated help.

Hi, thanks for the good work you're doing to free online. Can you please, help me get a website for selling Products related to amazon.?

drdrei09:
thank you very much bro, I really appreciate this.
I have just 74 dollars in my account, that means I can't withdraw now.

you can withdraw it.

Jeanwandimi:
First of all, you can not withdraw any amount less than $100 on upwork. You have to accumulate funds till $100 or above. You can know how much you have by going to "Reports then overview". Your "AVAILABLE" is your money. You have to have $100 in your "AVAILABLE" to receive your money. But you need to complete the following first.
Now to the procedure in details.
For this to work, you need to have put a NIGERIAN address as your address.
Go to "SETTINGS" in your profile, then "GET PAID", then go all the way down to "PAYMENT METHODS" and add method.
The first option you would see there is the one recommended for Nigeria. It will be stated as
"DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK (NGN)
$0.99USD PER WITHDRAWAL" which will be deposited to your local bank account in NGN
Then click on "SET UP"
The next thing you would see is "ADD PAYMENT METHOD: DIRECT TO LOCAL BANK" and your bank information will be required.
You will be required to put in your "BANK SWIFT CODE"
Gtbank's SWIFT CODE IS "GTBINGLA"
This is how GTB arrived at such code.
First 4 characters of the swift code is the bank's code which is "GTBI" for gtbank.
Next 2 letters represent the country's code which is NG for Nigeria.
The last 2 characters is the bank's headquarters' location code which is LA for lagos. GTB headquarters is in lagos. So combining it, you have GTBINGLA.
Other bank users can follow the procedure to do theirs.
Then after you have input your swift code, upwork automatically detects the code and displays the address of GTB's headquarters which is 635 AKIN ADESOLA STREET, VICTORIA ISLAND LAGOS, NIGERIA.
Then below that you will input your account number and all your details.
THATS ALL.
PLS VERIFY THAT YOUR INFO IS CORRECT, IF NOT, YOU WONT BE PAID.
It is that easy. The great thing about this method is that you receive your money within minutes of your money reaching $100 or above depending on the withdrawal amount you set. Some set their money to be automatically sent at $100, some set it at $200, some set it at $500 etc. Mine is set to be withdrawn at $100 top up. Why would I wait for $200 or more
Another cool thing about this method is that you are charged $0.99USD per withdrawal. This is extremely cheap trust me.
There are other options such as PayPal, Payoneer etc, but those options are the previous ways to get money go Nigeria and it is usually way more than $0.99USD for the transaction. I am grateful to upwork for adding this new method. Don't pay anybody to receive money from upwork. It is now easy to get money directly to your account.
If you have further questions after that, let me know or send me a mail.

Hi, thanks for helping the dude. While all that you said is true, I disagree with one point, that you can not withdraw less than $100.

In fact, I have withdrew cash from upwork to my access bank account at $39 and $50. The setting at the bottom doesn't keep that from happening.

drdrei09:
Mr Nichesiteseo, do you know how I can link my GTBank account to my upwork please?
A guy does it for 10k around my place but that's too expensive

Linking your bank account is very easy. I can help you.

Ghanaian:
Contact me on whatsapp +234 807 123 1188
Let me help you out

Please, help with this proposal. steveemem@gmail.com. Thanks.

skyhighweb:
useless bloggers

the truck says FARDC
google FARDC and come back and tell us if what u posted is right

I suspected much. The blogger exaggerated and even lied. My bad for not verifying first.

kalufelix:
this might be unverified news but i tell you the 9zoorian soldiers kills on sight, torture to death at base and secretly buries in the bush from my Afaraukwu first hand experience...so dont expect to see dead bodies littered on the streets...some people dont understand the magnitude of what we are into in this shithole...the most worrisome part is that majority of the direct victims may not even have access to media or internet....

I quite agree with you. The Nigerian army is a total disgrace to the uniform they wear. Ordinary Boko Haram that has no airforce is dealing with them like mad. bandits are in total control of whole villages and routes in the North, and all they could do is kill unarmed citizens. Bunch of idiots.

GamalNasser:
Stupid bastard Fulani Army !!!! Just some days Boko Haram killed 70 of them and we didn't hear a single peem from them but when it's time to attacked innocent unarmed citizens you will see them jumping up and down like gorrilas ...Chad has gone to retaliate on Boko Haram while our womanliness is looking for unarmed youths in Warriors to kill

The Nigerian army are bunch of cowards. Bandits are killing innocent people in Sokoto and Kano road, and all they could do is kill a boy you did nothing to them. Very disgusting bunch of cowards.

akinjojo1234:
And you went ahead and posted an unverified story just to create unnecessary tension.

Wrong. I didn't create any tension. there is already tension in the air. In fact, many people believe there was a retaliatory attack. I even try to convince some friends that it never did happen, but they insisted that it happened. The soldiers were stupid to have killed an unarmed, innocent young man. That is the real tension.

The only real thing is that some soldiers were attacked by angry youth and nothing more.

I'm begining to feel as well that the reporter misjudge the gunshots last night to be retaliatory attacks by the army. My sister just stepped out of the house towards that direction, and from her findings, there are no dead bodies anywhere. I wonder where the reporter got his photos from

ZKOSOSO:
..... Buh Buhari didn't include Delta.. ask Okowa...

But Delta is on lockdown right?

nairaman66:
Fake!!!! Fake!! Fake!!!! Nobody was killed during any reprisal attack from anywhere... Stop all these online fake news!!

The personnel has been identified through the help of the LGA chairman and the C.O. Justice will run its course.

Then that is a welcome development if the true.

Mystiquefia:
Your reportage has no source?
Where In warri do u live?

I live close to NPA, behind the Catholic church, about 3k away from the place of the incident.

People who came from there are saying there is trouble, then I saw this:
