Thread for olodo rabatas!

Biko, Let me gently leave this thread for them

Quite high, coming from you.

BAZ001:


Donbrowser learnt from his godfather
Gave Tinubu Nigeria and in 3 weeks damaged
fuel price , dollar to Naira , food price

Donbrowser in 3 weeks damaged how many things
Gasket, accident, radiator
Haba fear God naah.


Izzou izzooouuuuuu come oooooh I don find small

And like his godfather, he likely will not accept responsibility.

Will probably blame the past drivers, passengers he picked, potholes on the road, claim it was bound to happen regardless of the driver

casualobserver:


If anything it shows Obi hasnt got a clue and . You pay duty at the exchange rate on the day you pay the duty, thats the practice all over the world.

he is effectively asking for subsidy for importers.

If between the time you buy your forex and the day to pay duty the rate changes thats your own business Risk Mr importer of toothpicks.

You either did not read or did not understand.

He said it is fuelling inflation by making duty cost less predictable

It could make the country's port less competitive as importers will use ports of neighboring countries. Nigeria is already familiar with this scenario.

Which of these points do you miss?

Peter Obi giving Tinubu expo.

Hopefully, Tinubu is taking notes

DomPerignon:



You will join the civilised world whether you like it or not and using tribalism to gasslight and censor anyone who exposes your duplicity and heathen ways won't save you.

Rather than condemn the woman and her mother trying to turn OP's property to a graveyard , it is my post that is paining you.

You people need serious reform.

You are more concerned about where the dead is buried than what contributed to the death and how society should people accountable for it.

When I call you a dunce, you will presume I am abusing you.

I am worried for the future of nigeria not just because of bad leadership but also these bad leaders have people like you they can always rely on to act stupid

eyesaswide:


I have someone facing something similar to this.
He has gotten a full license but have failed to update the insurance company, now there is a claim, company is speaking oyibo, owner of the other car is on his neck to repair. Wahala too much, he no know wetin to do

It has been discussed multiple times here.

In addition whatever savings he was pursuing when he did not notify the insurance company, he will lose it in multiple folds when he does a new poilicy and they ask him for the circumstance behind the last policy cancelation and any claims made against him

Rossikk:


Obi’s plan was also to remove subsidies, so shush.

The situation would have been the EXACT SAME THING today.

If tinubu has agreed to debate obi and atiku, he probably would have gotten the chance to compare notes and see how to properly implement.

Alas, he was dodgy and had no plan

DomPerignon:


Use that sub par low iQ on your criminal prone relatives .



Tifiakpa people

I give up, can't out compete you. Pick someone else to quote on senseles tribal comments, wont be responding to another one of your quotes

DomPerignon:


Apply your sense to where it's most needed.

Thanks, obviously it was wasted trying to apply it you

DomPerignon:


Shut up .

How can you blame the entire Nigeria for the dystopian fcked up zero home training of this 0su who feels entitled to use her landlords's house as a cemetary?

You Ibo people ehn!

I never see.

My message was meant to hopefully drive some sense into people like you. Sense has been chasing you, but alas, you have always been faster than it.

I give up on you also

Not expecting you to figure this out but Atkinson user name is actually Akin's son. Not every yoruba person is as stupid as you are

GeneralZodd:
I pity people wey go vote Bola Ahmed Tinubu, na them put us for this mess. $1 = 1800 naira. well its a win for me, my investment just double.

i saw this coming, told everybody here to invest in dollar when it was 750 naira, they refused and criticised me, now it is happening with no end in sight

Bro, it's a brutal chain reaction. The genie is out and can't be put back in the box by tinubu and cardoso. They have played all their cards and finally quietly admit the ball is out of their court.

Going by the rate 1:2,000 is very likely early next month if not next week.

Food insecurity will also worsen as the effect of the disruption to the farming season will be felt in the coming months.

Nigeria is in a mess, how can a child die in at home, with the parent self-medicating. What happen to the hospitals in the country?

In a normal country, this should lead to national self-reflection with an inquiry as to why the baby was not taken to the hospital.

I really feel sorry for the lady having to lose a baby under circumstances that are likely avoidable.

Hopefully, nigerians will one day realise their enemy is not the person of other tribe or religion but the politicians who are eating away their destiny and even their chidrens destiny.

We had a president who for 8 years got treatment in the UK, whilst doctors were often on strike and relocating enmass. Now the country has another one who gets treatment in france, while the population is left with subpar hospital facilities that are sarce and unaffordable for many

PARADIZEPRIEST:
You ppl are not exporting oil as before to earn more dollars as most of naija crude oil money sadly had been stolen in last 8years waste of govt,with intense buha govtcomplicite oil theft,so stop importing nonsense into Nigeria and naira will be OK.
Stop importing nonsense e.g
STOP IMPORTING SHOE POLISH, NAIL POLISH, KITCHEN UTENCILS

STOP IMPORTING LUXURY CARS FOR GOVT PUBLIC SERVANTS,GO TO INNOSON LEASE BULLETPROOF SUVS ,

STOP BUYING STUPID FOREIGN BUILDING MATERIALS LIKE FOREIGN PAINTS AND POP

STOP IMPORTING USELESS FOREIGN FURNITURES

STOP IMPORTING NONSENSE ASHOEBE MATERIALS FROM DUBAI

STOP IMPORTING CRAZY THINGS LIKE HUMAN HAIR AND ASETHETICS
ETC
YOUR LONG THROAT FOR ALL THESE NONSENSE SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY TO STRENGTHEN THE NAIRA angry

CBN SHOULD CONTROL ALL FORM M FORTHWITH ,DONT TRUST ANY BANK WITJDOLLARS EVER AGAIN.
AND GIVE FOREX ONLY FOR NECESSITIES TO IMPORT MATERIALS AND MACHINERIES TO BOOST AGRIC FOOD PRODUCTION,FOOD STORAGE REFRIDGERATED TRUCKS,ESSENTIAL VEHICLES FOR HEALTH,LOGISTICS ,AND SECURITY VEHICLES ETC.ANY THING OUTSIDE THIS LIST IS ANTI PEOPLE WELLBEING AND ANTINAIRA.QED.

Dont forget to tell your master, Tinubu to stop changing engine oil in fance. After building lagos, definitely he must have built one fitting hospital where he can get serviced? Or did he become a chief builder without a functional hospital?

I'm not here to argue, I've given my advise. You can take it or leave it

Pennyseo2:


Is it the Nigerians that won't like to tell you where they work or referee you so you don't come to drag shift with them?
Although it's normal, I understand anyone will do whatever possible to protect their job etc.
Here everyone minds their business and once they know you have nothing or always ask from them they stop picking your calls.


Many forums I was, I know how I often disturb this people. Including the admin about my lack of job. Most of them just ignore. Other just say keep applying. Have you gone to this place, have you gone to this agency while they themselves know those agencies don't recruit anymore.

The bottom line is that job are now like before. Previously employers do organise job fair,where they come to stadium every now and then to look for people to fill their vacant position.
But today all that is gone. I have a long list of agencies, plus some that are scrapped from Google.. Call them or send them a message they said no vacancy. Go to them in person they said if anything comes up they put it up on indeed and job sites..

The jobs they have or what they expect or require is not what an average new migrant possesses.

You might think it's only you, but by them time you spend time with your classmates who came same months with you then you realised all are just putting on smiling face with no shimgbi.. No job. They are in same shoe like you are.



Let's just accept the simple fact. That's why I am telling those coming or intending to come to please hold 80% of funds most especially their school fees.

Saying one should avoid fellow applicants... Well I found strength in them. When I feel like giving up, I pick my phone,call two to three persons from different cities, their determination gives me more energy to keep pushing that I am not alone. If not I for don return back to Nigeria teh teh.

Although now I got a 20hrs job forklift... I did the certification course.

Have you tried linkedin? I have done it before and so I can tell you it works.

In the search bar, type your desired profession+ a nigerian uni+ location

E.g for someone seeking to connect with an immigrant data analyst:

Data analyst university of lagos united kingdom

Nairaland has a toxic environment, so people are not keen on connecting offline. Linkedin is much different, people are happy to help with career and mentorship if you approach them correctly.

The Uk is an information driven environment, you'll likely go far and faster with the right information, and no, those looking for a job and having same gloomy outlook as you are unlikely to be able to help with this.

They won't be providing you a job but key information on how to best route into the sector.

For instance, if you want to apply for a job on my team, I'm probably able to to provide insights as to key words that should be on you CV and things they'll be looking out for in the interview

OmichaelO:
Guys please,

What can someone do if they suspect their current employer is bad mouthing them to prospective employers. Like whenever it gets to point of reference, the previous place employement is always sorted. However when it gets to current employer everything scatters it has happened with two people and with about 5 different prospective employers.

And this current employer is the one sponsoring them.

For such a place, I will advise you use a friendly supervisor rather then HR for reference.

Not here to argue with anyone here.

My advise that new and strrugling to break into the UK job market is that you engage with immigrants employed in the field and get advise and mentorship from them. Avoid or reduce the propensity to get this advise or mentorship from your fellow applicant who also is struggling to make headway or from someone who is disillusioned about the job market.

The UK still has a very high level of unfilled vancies and many employers will not mind employing an african immigrants who presents his/herself the right way. There may be some racial barrier, but I do not see the UK as a racist country. Also, location may also matter, but the uk is a small country, relocation should often not be a problem.

There is also good reason why the wage growth has been outstripping inflation even when inflation went as high as 6% - there's a big labour shortage here.

If you don't get here on nairaland, go on linkedin, using your nigerian uni or other nigerian unis, search for nigeria who migrated and ask them how they cracked it and what's the best way for you.

In my opinion, the most important barrier is your first job here (and it doesnt have to be your ideal employment but must have a clear relationship to where your going). Subsequent ones become much easier and in the country, you can switch jobs even 1 months after you join, employer will be fine.

Much like renting, your first rent in the open market may be hard, but when you decide to move , you find it much easier.

Peace

ShobayoEmma:
What of if he goes there to advise and speak the bitter truth to them? Don't judge a book by its cover. Note that there are somethings that are better left unsaid. Lord have mercy.




Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions.

Mtschew..after politicians, the big time pastors and imams are nigeria's problem.

Any good leader will do well to do away with them

Missowombo:
Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.

The good thing is he paid by instalment.

In the normal course of business, title is not transferred until full payment is made.

So even if you made a commitment to sell to him upon (full) payment, the fact that you rescinded the decision before he made full payment puts you in the green.

However, if he can prove he did borrow to make that purchase, you may owe him the interest on the loan as he took the loan because you gave him a legitimate expectation that the car could be his.

However, if he has made full payment, that becomes tricky as you are reneging on a verbal contract and should compensate him well for the inconvenience

Lagos should also ask companies to withhold taxes that Niger would benefit from

alezzy13:


Am not a fan of Tinubu, but y'all just opening your mouth and insulting with abandon.

Did any of you all read the above??

It is his idiocy in removing subsidy and floating the naira at same time without any plan in place that caught up with him.

Nigeria is probably paying more subsidy now than when petrol was N97 per liter on account on exchange rate.

Jagaban2012:
Any bad news about the present government some people in one region are here to push it to the front page....so it will seem the government is not. working.....
Some efforts have been made towards revamping the oil sector. You will hardly see this.....on the front page....all these saboteurs....keep working hard for your taskmasters....8 years is far for you to stop pushing nonsense news.....

Lemme quickly go. and drop bad news about this Tinubu government..on Twitter...I'm sure one of the fools who is part of the Seun Team from one region will still come to comply. and paste it on nairaland and it will make it. the front page...

Please open a thread and tell people the good news about this government.

Disability living seems fanciful in this country.

😆..stop judging other with your unknown father standard.

embrace productivity and shun joblessness, your life will be better and your parents will be proud to see you doing something useful with your life.

Don't forget it took your mother 9 months to carry you, she would expect better from you.

NB - working as a low-paid ethnic bigot and APC propagandist does not count as a job or productive use of your time.

Basic123:


Your joblessness is one of the reason Nigeria's economy is tanking.

Able-bodied man, continues marketing Peter Obi when the election has been concluded almost 1 year ago, leaving areas where he can try to be productive and lift himself out of poverty

I see why you are unemployed now or underemployed with tinubu's media r=team. Never mind

Basic123:

The campaign continues as long your stupid marketing of OBI and OBI PR continues

Your joblessness is one of the reason Nigeria's economy is tanking.

Teedol:
Passed my UK practical driving test yesterday, first attempt[12/22/24] this day also happened to be my wedding anniversary, best anniversary gift so far.

Have got till march ending b4 i would have stayed for a yr in UK, can i keep using my NG drivers license for insurance purposes till then?

Congrats, Ideally, you should inform your insurance company anytime there is a change in your circumstance.

You probably will not make any claim sha, so ride on.

Basic123:

The election is done, you're are still campaigning. Is it hunger or joblessness?

Kukutenla:
They are being envisioned and written into the blueprint for the next administration to implement
That is the Lagos scam sorry template

Exactly, Tinubu rode on Fashola's performance claiming he drew then blueprint.

The only thing Tinubu did in Lagos was to increase IGR and he was forced to do it because OBJ withheld allocation for many months. Even at that, he made sure to give himself a hefty pension through Alphabeta slicing a bit of lagos igr into his pocket

joe10:
Please, is there anything I can do to remedy this situation? I' ve got a job with NHS and received my pay in January 2024. I sent my P45 to NHS after i received my first pay and it was taxed meanwhile, I did not pay taxes in my first employment except NI as I was told that I would not be taxed till my cumulative income reached a threshold. I have explained to my new employer and I was advised to contact HMRC. Please, how do I go about this or is it normal to start paying taxes due to change of employment eventhough i have not reached the required threshold?

Call hmrc and reconfirm your details. At times, hmrc assumes you've taken a second job rather than move jobs, also they estimate income.

I'll rather call to straighten it out, rather than wait to be in a refund or debt position

lanre9ja:
It's a good things but what's the effects to the economy

It will incentivice offshore conversion. As banks will naturally offer rates lower than the market rate, giving the black market more life
