I salute the maturity of the OPM pastor. Now I'm beginning to fear for these boys. I hope they won't get distracted and end-up engaging in criminal activities to survive coz they're beginning to sound unserious. Last thing I want to hear is any of them getting arrested and deported for committing a crime. I wish them all the best regardless.

The dont have needed papers to stay if not schooling, likely have no marketable skills there for a skilled visa and if its Northern cyprus they are in, it is probably harder because it is outside the EU and they will be stuck there. The country is a den of yahoo boys though, so they may go that way.

I don't blame them though, Nigeria was probably hell for them. Even the way they look now, it's not hard to understand they never want to set foot in Nigeria

Mindlog:
N1.3m as rent on a monthly income of N400k?

I dont think there is any average place on the mainland where you will get a 1 bedroom flat of less than 500k-600K. Gbagada, Ketu, Akoka, Mushin, Surulere , Gbagada...you will likely not find, particularly not one with parking space and safe. Except you want him to move to Ikorodu or some other distant location.

If he is married and needs a 2 bedroom apartment , then definitely its atleast N1M in those places for a decent one

CheerfulGiver:
In contrast, requests will increase. You're not putting into consideration the amount of car owners who will park their cars or sell them off because they can no longer afford them.

Customers have no choice. App companies know this. This is not the first time there has been a sharp increase in fuel prices in the last 5 years. Besides, current prices are comparable to what they are in December/January. If there was going to be a blip, it would have been obvious by now.

Lagos state has no public transportation alternative that would make up for the unaffordability you're talking about which will make riders maintain status quo.

Yo. I'm not successful by thinking average.

I am not sure where you get your stats from, but driving your car is likely much cheaper than uber.

I recall I used to buy 5k fuel for my corolla some years back to commute to the Island and it last 1 week. At same time a trip to the Island during morning surge was about 2-2.5k. So I could in theory make my fuel money by carrying a passenger to the Island in the morning and at night when coming back. At some point in time, I did the morning one and so riders will pay for the fuel after just 2-3 days of a single morning trip to the Island.

So what you should be concerned is that many car owner will start doing commercial with their cars instead of driving empty to the Island. This is also bad for those doing uber business because they will take lower, all they need is to cover their fuel cost and still provide similar comfort.

CheerfulGiver:
Majority of emailing customers are runs girl who have office jobs as side hustle. You think a hike in fuel will make them stop their business or make them jump buses while wearing skimpy dresses? Dey play.

If their customers are not willing to pay significantly more, they will also have to make adjustments same way regular worker do.

A sharp increase in price will make uber a luxury for many, they cannot give you what they don't have.

There is something called elasticity of demand. If the price increases by 300%, don't assume demand will keep steady, How many Nigerians, even those working on the Island earn 200K and how many will their employers provide a cost of living adjustment to? Someone earning 200-300K a month, how many times will they be able to afford uber from the mainland to the Island at the expected fare.

Don't assume you'll make more money. An outright 300% hike in an economy where almost everyone uses petrol for something will push many middle class people into poverty which is bad for your business I believe. Probably good new for the danfo guys because they are at the extreme bottom and anybody that wants to commute cannot escape them except you decide to trek or cancel your trip.

The only person that gains here are the ride companies themselves, each time the fare is raised, they get an increase in revenue without suffering the cost increase because they have no asset in the business. The cost of setting up the app is largely a sunk cost, they are only exposed a little to the fuel hike.

KOVIC19COVID20:
Who recalls this list?
By 2024. This department will definitely shut down
Abi na oyinbo wan come full the courses?

If you can’t see well, Biko zoom in

You don't want a long waiting NHS list, but you also don't want immigrants to do the job when citizens won't.

You complain the cost of living is high but you frown at people willing to work for a lesser cost ...it's a hard delimma for the politicians.

Please I need any link to message them.

A vignette was attached to the passport? If you were granted a visa but no letter https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk

tumishimaGW:
Good morning house. What can a person do if your care agency does not have jobs for you when you get to UK?

Get another sponsored job asap. Your visa condition requires you to be working for a certain number of hours with your employer.

Our culture is one that promotes people being flashy, so many Nigerians don't know how to maintain decorum. Tamiyu was just the unfortunate one to display his own on the largest network in the UK, giving others a bad reputation but I don't think we are inherently bad people. Nigerians are a very helpful lot if you are being reasonable too.

Indians & Chinese travel in greater numbers but don't make so much noise. Indias in particular not only migrate the immediate family, most migrate also their extended family. Nigerians are learning where they are but they are quiet about such things.

samuel321:
Good morning everyone. Please I need tips from you, I just sent out my 1000th application right now. I've sent out series of applications to different care homes since January but none has been successful so far. I don't send out the same CV to every companies, I check their list of requirements and update it.

I have my care cert, PCC, Ielts result, Tuberculosis test, but the PCC and tuberculosis test is already expired, I thought the validity was also 2years like the Ielts result. Infact I have volunteered in an hospital for 6months. If there are tips you can give me, please give me as it will be highly appreciated. Thanks

I guess you are applying from Nigeria. I don't think getting a job in the UK should be this hard.

If it's from outside the UK, naturally many companies will consider people in the UK first for any job before undertaking to sponsor someone from Nigeria. Also, there are probably also a lot of people making from outside the country also.

STENON:
Please my People, I am applying visiting visa for my Parents, it is a self service thing and I have uploaded all documents online. Please what documents would they be expected to take along for their Biometrics apart from the appointment letter printed out and passport? Thank you.

I guess the important stuff is their passport, printout of the application form and payment receipt for any service booked with TLS.

Treadway:
Hmm interesting @ the bolded


It was only a matter of time before one representative idiot got close to a microphone. Not surprised one bit! The person fit dey travel section sef, chochocho blabbermouths wey never see skyscraper before..lol

It was bound to happen when Nigerians who have not spent 1 month in the UK started opening youtube channels to outcompete each other in broadcasting. .....Tamiyu of London after 1 week of staying in the UK. The person does not even have NI Number yet

Yamiriflathead:
Atiku and obi are banking on religious sentiments to win them the Elections. God will disgrace both of them tommorow

It was passion for Shetimma's competence that took Tinubu all the way to borno..reduce the agbado you are taking

Thewrath:
Since apc is so confident,why go this far? Lol

this is the "structure" APC & PDP have been boasting about.

Levels1:


. Nigerians bro

Speak for yourself. After 8 years of apc, many Nigerians will differ on that

Levels1:
Out of sight is out of mind, since we are convinced that it is Asiwaju-Shettima that we want as our next president, as young people, our goal is to ensure that we do not sleep until Sunday.

24hrs of sleepless effort towards the emergence of BAT.

Omoapena:



What time is the person going to get to the bus park, I can do it....

Should arrive at about 2:00pm and leave at about 5:00pm.

Please send me a message on whatsapp.....

easytig:
Maybe you are looking for who you will put in trouble, nowadays major bus stops are a no no for pickup, maybe drop off ,to avoid illegal extortion from touts and yeye lastma ticketing

The person will be arriving at the park so pickup has to be at the park or close to it, not sure how picking a rider off the road is better than picking the person at a recognised bus stop or near it.

Anyone that can get it done, let me know . Will make it worth the while

They took African legend's panties to France as exhibition?


But they've never brought their edifice to Africa for exhibition,....


And we feel this guys are still colonizing us when it is clear that we're begging them to keep colonizing us....

@ the bolded, will you pay to see Fela's pants? They took to the people who appreciate such form of art.

Hi, please I am looking for someone that can pick up an elderly person from Ojota bus park or Oshodi bus park to Mobolaji Bank-Anthony way, Ikeja, and return the person a few hours later on Thursday (this week).

Please quote me if you can/are interested.

You are not even asking for relationship? You are asking to get married as an unemployed man? Wtf man!!

englishmart:
you're probably right. So why is ours way much cheaper?

Cost of production goes beyond rawmaterials, things like taxes, wages, cost of investment, target margin, loans, price of competitors, income level and other things contributes to the cost of a product and the sales price.

The list there looks more like it was set based on affordability in those markets. The countries with some of the highest per capita income also come top on the list

jumper524:
Peter Obi would follow soon.
Tinubu leads they follow.

I doubt any other candidate will.some people still feel shame being a hypocrite

Ngozey:


Yes she is now a big girl 2 years and 4 months, she hasn't spoken to me since april 2021 when I left her house. Even if I call her with using a different number, as soon as she hear my voice she will cut the call. I don't need her to send me money ,i only need visitations right ,if she allow me i will borrow money for transportation even if it she will not allow me inside her house , that's fine I can see my baby outside of her house . I don't mind spending the night on the street just to see my baby.

If you have the capacity to take to take care of the child, you can get the police or court to collect the child

olab059:


This is the bitter truth. I don't understand how people equate Tinunbu to Buhari...Because they're in the same party doesn't mean they have the same team. It is clear that Buhari is a tribalist, and he used his second term to satisfy his people...he doesn't give a F about the common man anymore, and he also has people that push his mumu button. Tinunbu is definitely not that way. Tinunbu is not a saint, but he will be miles better than Buhari.

Tinubu is different from buhari and buhari is dis and dat, yet tinubu supported him for 8 years justifying every action he took. It says a lot about the character of tinubu and you who came to nairaland to make so much sense

fadilaMaikiriki:
Those asking I upload pictures, I would have uploaded the pictures but... It might lead to more shaming though.

Madam get good bra and package yourself....you only need one man to appreciate your saggy breast and I am pretty sure there is at least one man who will love you regardless.

For d remaining guys they wont even know you have saggy breast when you are well packaged with a bra, except the breast is available for many eyes.

Almost everyone has that one feature they wont mind changing but they learn to live and even appreciate it

TheStakeHolder:
Not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

The decline is due to the global economic recession ocassioned by the pandemic.

Buhari took nigeria into a recession before the pandemic even started....same thing he did when he was a military ruler.

The guy is a serial failure

kartelkid:
Please I would like someone with knowledge of this; to advice me.

Someone suggested it to me, and it seems a good idea, as I want to marry without my family's support. I'm based in lagos. I have family issues; which basically will delay me further.

Please I'm not here for judgement, I just need to know how I can do it.

I dont think you will find girls of marriageable age in an orphanage in Nigeria. Once they mature small....they will leave and go an hussle their life....my thoughts though

ceede2:
was he invited? His song can be played anywhere, they hire DJ , but if the song is not ready to be release to the public that when you can sue anybody, get it n of you don't get it f.......

Not a lawyer...but I think even for publicly-available songs, if it will be used in a specific way to promote a specific event you should get the consent of the singer....or used in a way that can alter the artistic intention of the song.

So Promassidor ng can't just take a song n use in their advert

And a night club may be sued for using Nathaniel Bassey's song because such song may miscontrue the public perception of the song affecting the artistic intention of the singer thereby causing him commercial losses

...but that is in a country where laws count.

...strong protection of IP is a key foundation for building an innovation-driven society, Nigeria cannot continue to ignore it if the leaders truly want the country to mive forward

Twoclans:
Good morning guys .

Today na Today.

Currently the accredited delegates from Bornu and Ondo states are voting.

I think Bornu has 88 accredited delegates ,I did not get the figure for Ondo.I think 34 or there about.

Na wa o....since yesterday

It's a shame, that southern politicians have taken to seeing their northern counterparts as gods. They throw shame, their honour and integrity out of the window if it will secure them favour in the north.

From the so called "BAT" who licked Buhari's arse, even when he could clearly see after 4 years that Buhari was not deserving of a 2nd term based on his performance. Also quick to run to the north to donate millions and commiserate with them when required but couldn't find his way to even nearby Oyo to commiserate with them when the herdsmen conflict made hundreds homeless. It was a thug Sunday Igboho, the risked his safety to fight for them. Thankfully Oyo is now peaceful.

to the yahoo pastor "Osibanjo" who sat and conferred with Buhari to unleash some of the most disastrous policies this country has seen, sending many to poverty, massive skilled labour migration and massive insecurity. He was the one that was sent to buy votes using N5,000 (https://guardian.ng/news/osinbajo-debunks-claim-tradermoni-is-used-for-vote-buying/), when it was clear buhari's disastrous 1st term would not earn him a second term base on merit.....if you doubt it was vote buying , let Osibanjo present the amount of loan collected back or even any decent effort made to collect it , if that was at all the true intention (https://businessday.ng/news/article/fg-cant-recover-n10bn-tradermoni-but-to-begin-2nd-tranche-disbursement-farouq/)

The likes of Amechi, Okorocha and career opportuntist, I wont waste my time explaining they are traitors to their people. They say one thing at the back but as the 2 above, lack the courage to stand on it (https://punchng.com/amaechi-criticises-buhari-in-leaked-audio/)

For all the noise made about the population and the concentration of its political and military might there, money is what runs the economy and the south brings that to the table (>80% of all revenues and >95% of foreign earnings). No military or political forces from beyond can keep that money on the table if the politicians in the south do not agree to it.

The south remains the heart of nigeria's industrial capacity, with a high concentration of skilled labour and disaporans whose skilled would be available

None of Nigeria's significant event would have happen without some significant consent from the south:

- the civil war would not have been won if it was left to the north alone
-as BAT alluded, even Buhari would not have won if it was left to the North alone. This is true for every election (Wike generating over a million vote for Jonathan's failed attempt (hook or crook) shows the south can also generate these sometimes outrightly bogus numbers (>95% for Jonathan). These miracles cannot only happen in Kano.
- the only reason nigeria actually exists as a political right now is the funds to keep sharing have been steady even when the north who claim to hold the political aces have not brought much to the table.

See Wike as an example:

(https://www.today.ng/news/politics/rivers-governor-slams-critics-vat-collection-dispute-389601)

Result:

https://punchng.com/vat-row-fg-eyes-out-of-court-settlement/

If 1/2 of the south's political elites put their people first the way Wike has done, the South would not be playing second fiddle to the North.

If most politicians put their people first the way Wike has done, the south would have been the power bastion it naturally is. Unfortunately, we have weak and treacherous leaders who betray their people to get power by any means

I have no sympathy for BAT or which even token southern politician is used to balance the equation nd be a placeholder for the north who would still control power from behind the scenes. The only victims here are the people of the south who have been failed time and time again by their leaders

Its a shame, southern politicians have taken to seeing their northern counterparts as gods.
