Anambra and billionaires who keep low profiles are like 5&6

True. But not everyone who you don't know keeps a low profile though. Those that know them know them.

E.g. Just this Monday I got to know of a US rapper called NLE Choppa. While I hadn't heard of him before, he had 1bn + views on YouTube already.
Possibly because I am not fan of his.

Godspeed to him though.

Great.
Godspeed.

Beebah2000:

You for give am 1million Naira na.
I sure say him no go reject am.

Don't be too sure o!

There are different kinds of people in the world.

ManirBK:
I dey laugh..
It's foolishness to go and die in a war that has nothing to do with you
Imagine Russia facing those countries that fought against them after settling with Ukraine

It's interesting you say 'A war that has nothing to do you'.

But most of these guys have called Ukraine home (lived & earned there) for years/decades and would stay there after the War.

While I pray for the hostilities to end, This is probably why countries discriminate refugees — because foreigners are mostly 'fair weather' sojourners.

Asakeololade:
Literally, all these things can be done with jumia or Facebook

But everyone is looking for a breakthrough, no offense

You're right.

BUT the difference ALWAYS lie in execution.

SpatialKing:
Vote buying is so rampant and common in the South West region upon all their sophistication and education

Kid not yourself, Illiteracy & poverty is still rife in Nigeria. Everywhere in Nigeria. The rates may differ but it's everywhere.

Fira09:
To me why they dumped wike is because of the way he usually speaks.

And most of the northerners dislike him because of the way he speaks about them.

So wike this is just a lesson for you!

Any way let vote for PETER OBI.

Probably correct. But he was second oh! Less than 100 votes behind Atiku. That's something too for a 'disliked' man.

Maryam1234:

TWO LOSERS LICKING THEIR WOUNDS…

LOSERS (while correct) really shouldn't be used for those who didn't win elections as elections aren't a merit / competence based exercise. It's literally a popularity contest. The 'Loser' mentality would have contributed to desperation politics in Nigeria.

Eriokanmi:
Na Naija youths go decide next year's election, not the old peeps who are easily induced with money as seen yesterday in Ekiti election with the apc candidate visibly seen in active participation in money sharing. Youths would damn their money as they did during endsars. The 2nd version of the endsars will be end bad leadership with your votes.

Don't be too sure oh!

Nigerian youths aren't all internet savvy, Twitter buzzing forward thing bunch you have around you oh. There are also the thousands that welcomed BAT back from Abuja today. Many of whom can/have harassed voters across Lagos over the last decade.

GloriousGbola:
I have to ask the question - why would anyone export Nigerian cornflakes to Malaysia? Our soggy nasco cornflakes?

Some of the choices of these drug pushers are dead giveaways as far as I am concerned.

Or am I missing something?

Haha.

The drug to deal in drugs IS the poorest choice. It goes downhill from there.

obyrich:
So it was only Igbo names you read in the report or your brain has been configured to interprete every name on NDLEA report to Igbo?

There aren't only Igbos here. But they are in the Majority. Both quantity & accused persons.

If you haven't noticed, it's now been a common trend for most drug related arrests reported on Nairaland.

The guy you replied to raised a reasonable point. Which is that we all (including Igbos) should drop labels in addressing criminals. A criminal is a criminal NOT Fulani, Igbo or Yoruba.

NaughtyBrainiac:
They call him Old, yet he is the most serious, smart working and hardworking of all the aspirants.

They call him sick, yet he is the Aspirant that has consulted and travelled the most in the last 3 months.

I sometimes wonder if some of us the so-called Young and healthy Nigerians can do the number of trips Asiwaju has done in recent weeks.

I hope and pray that hid time as President favours Nigeria and Nigerians in all ramifications.

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria.

I am no Tinubu fan or hater.

But he hasn't travelled the most across the country.
NE, NC & SW? Maybe.
But he hasn't been in the SE and was only in Calabar (of SS). There are politicians who have covered more grounds.

Not that ground covering guarantees anything though.

Deborah98:
The word submission don suffer for Nigerian men month. Any small thing submit... interesting. You don't force your wife to submit to you. You love her to submit to you. It's a two way thing. Wives submit yourselves unto your husband and in return husbands love your wives shikina...

There was no 'in return' in the Bible though.

Both instructions (love & Submission) for Husbands & wives were not stated as conditional instructions.

Appliedmaths:
I'm posting this to encourage someone out there.

My job hunting days started here on NL, in fact I got my first two (2) jobs here on NL after which recommendations and reputation opened more doors for me. There was one award I won in the job hunting section as the nairalander that crashes every job thread or something like that I can't remember

Below are what have been working for me so far.

Choose a career in the right industry
Simply put, "e get some kind work wey I no fit do."

I'm a very calculative person, I was kinda selective during my early days because I knew where the money was. I also understand that you have to start little, but no matter how little please don't settle for the low tier industries.

You will be behind in all facets of life, trust me on this one.

Competence
Nobody in life except your parents will be attracted to you if you don't have anything to bring to the table. Organizations will beg to have you and also dance to your terms when you have the right skill set to get the job done.

Under this point, I'll also add smartwork and personal development.

Networking with the right people
Do not hide under a rock, simply put do not hide behind your desk from January to December.

Go out and meet the people you exchange emails with, put names to faces. Have their whatsApp numbers and connect. They know you're competent, they'll be more than happy to have you on their team or strongly refer you .

You must jump ships
Make I use pidgin talk this one, dem no dey stay one place rise to the top. The people you met there will suppress you.

The people I left in my former places of work cannot lace my shoes right now. Please I am not bragging, I'm just stating the facts.

Jumping ships attract at least 40-60% and sometimes 100%+ salary increase and also position. So you decide where you'll pitch your tent.

The first 2 points will help you jump ships at your own will and terms.

On the other hand, don't jump ships too often.

The BIG God factor
As a Christian, I cannot overemphasize this. You're not the most hardworking or brilliant mind out there, in my career journey I see people with higher qualifications than me that are way behind and I ask myself many questions.

It will pay you to run with the grace of God, believe me on this one. I attend some interviews and I ask myself if this is an interview or a hangout. There was one I attended the top two officers were asking and answering themselves questions that was meant for me .

Or how do you explain when you'll put all your life problems in your salary demand (which is higher than the industry standard by 30% or so) and the company will agree 100%. Last I checked you're not the only one in the market.

I'm still on my journey, but I just feel led to share this to encourage someone out there.

Nice but generic & cryptic.

Also very impersonal.

Thanks nonetheless. We (Nigerians) never really share the 'in' details.

BIGDADDY000:
Nothing is sure these days, even nothing like SURE 2 ODDS, cryptos were also down, Buhari and his cohorts are doing there own, Soap self no bring money, No where to run to, wetin person go dey chop now.

Haha.

These days?

Has anything ever been sure even before?

9jaRealist:
Didn’t Tinubu also scream that it’s his turn to be president?!
So many Nigerians are so PRIMITIVE, they’re actually shocked if you don’t automatically support “your own kinsmen”. SMH
>

I'm far from being a Tinubu supporter but people should realize that his 'my turn' statement was an in party discussion not for (we) non APC members consumption.
It beats me why they televised that session publicly because perhaps worse things have been said (behind doors) by all contestants.

9jaRealist:
Are chicken or catfish imported?
If you think they’re expensive, that’s an OPPORTUNITY to go into poultry and fish farming!

In a nation that struggles to feed itself…
Scores of able-bodied youth complain that there are “no alternatives” to ashewo or yahoo. SMH
>

Chicken & Catfish don't have to be imported to be expensive.

The feeds, drugs & care items needed in rearing birds have become more expensive(due, in part to imports costs). With these costs driving up the cost of the birds.

Mumusaphire:
Did they beat inec deadline sha. But I don't understand stupid law we have in nigeria. Most of our laws are confusing. Why will u say they can sub vice candidate later once they beat deadline. Let them submit both once and for all.

ALL laws created by man CAN be circumvented.

There's almost no watertight law.

LaSenior:


This man just want to waste money

With his Kano fan base he wants to rule Nigeria

Buhari really drimbled Tinubu imagine signing electoral law sharp sharp when he buhari refused to sign same bill when he was contesting for relection

E don reach Tinubu turn no more wayo wayo elections , when na wayo wayo elections bring buhari into power

You must learn a lesson

How can the 2015 election that brought in Bihari be wayo wayo when Goodluck was the incumbent?

In fact it was because the election was reasonably fair that PMB won it.

joe54:

A lot changes occur in a woman after child birth both physically and mentally.
Women need to be incredibly appreciated for child birth.
The bond between a mother and her child is beyond a man's understanding.

A Man shouldn't be bothered cos Ur woman loves you dearly don't be jealous.

How is it beyond understanding?
I mean...people give birth & leave them(children) to roam about.

Certainly those one lack the bond you speak of.

Realist12:
I quite agree with Buhari tagging the youths of today as lazy . Those days the youths were in power at younger age and focused on their dreams . But to understand the political atmosphere of the country right now is a big deal but they are verse on everything going on in social media.
The youths of today are mediocres to be honest , spoiled brats .

Youths?

Few Civilian(non military) Nigerian leaders were below 45 when then ruled then.

mrrock:
I didn't know that only companies made the donations. To fund ASUU's 2023 election campaign?

I don't get your point but even company donations for political purposes aren't tax deductible so most companies don't donate to elections.

mrrock:
So it has gotten to the point where private individuals are now donating money to pay salary to university lectures?

Private individuals never donate for lecturers salaries.

Fahdiga:
We still haven't forgotten Tinubu's infamous ranting when this innocent woman was killed. Where are their cows? Is Evans a herdsman?

His comment should have been more nuanced & mature but you missed his point.

Which is that criminals had infiltrated the 'herdsmen' community and have started wrecking havoc under that cloak (herdsmen).

Recently, their true identities have been revealed:
Bandits/Kidnappers & thieves.

We have to be careful about labels in Nigeria as it is indeed a risky path.

DuBLINGreenb:
Amaechi fought gallantly

But are we running a gerontocracy? Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku are all aged men

But I thought we learnt our lesson under Buhari?

It’s ok na, I no longer pity Nigerians. Maybe Nigerians deserve Nigeria. SMH.

Hahaha.

Aren't you being dismissive here.

This (today's programme) was just an APC programme though.
The main election is still ahead/hasn't been won.

hammer567:
BECAUSE ATIKU IS YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT.


TINUBU JUST MADE IT VERY EASY AND EVEN BUHARI GO DEY PITY TINUBU .


REMEMBER BUHARI A NORTHERNER LOST TO ATIKU IN 2019, BUT FOR INCUMBENT POWER.


WITHOUT BUHARI THE NORTHERN STATE IS A COASTING FOR ATIKU.


SOKOTO IS ALREADY IN HIS BAG.


CAN TINUBU WIN ATIKU IN BORNO, YOBE, GOMBE, BAUCHI, NASARAWA, JIGAWA ETC?

O well he doesn't need to 'Win' those states though. He just needs a statutory 25% from a few IF he locks Majority elsewhere.

Cheers.

Xscape1993:
He will never smell that seat of Power. Just mark this day. Where is the physical strength to rule Nigeria? Nobody should take us back to Egypt in 2023. Never! Some regions understand politics more than some religions. Tinubu can not defeat anybody in any general election.

You [Probably] also predicted that he'll lose the primary election too. On your comments on his health, I could assume you also Predicted PMB wouldn't live this long too (since he had health challenges).

My point: Solely based on your predictive abilities, Tinubu has a reasonable chance at success. And this is from someone who isn't a Tinubu fan. But I would be foolish to write him off.

HRprof:
Are you telling us that they make upto 1m in a month?
He is only talking about rent by the time he pays bills and other things money don finish be that

Of course, N1m isn't even up to £2000.

And these guys earn more than £2000.

Hezzyluv:
Abuja standstill
Wey over 90% of Abuja residences dey do their normal hustling.

Even Bill Clinton entered Abuja e no standstill.

Hahahah.

Calm down. It's a literary device.

successmatters:
A loser's welcome

Wike betrayed his neighbours in the south and went to the convention seeking their votes, how mad can a person be to attempt such shameful stunts?

And they gave the votes to a man from the same tribe 'that neighbor' has always vilified even before wike 'betrayed' them.


Wow!
