Sorry but why was a monarch jailed in the US?
What was his crime?
Did he really commit the crime he was accused of ?

He ran American government street, asking for funds to cater for his people only to use it in buying a new house

What if she knew but pretended as if she did not

aswani:
Oga Farooq, what was he meant to say to potential investors?

I am sure the ones he was speaking to know full well that there is nowhere on earth that is corruption free, even the US that Farooq is in.

The large scale, free for all corruption of PDP governments that spawned the likes of Dino and Deziani is thankfully gone.

you are right, those he is talking to understand that he is talking about Petroleum Subsidy and Floating of the Naira that favours Subsidy beneficiaries and BDC orligarchs

OfeAchi:
I have done more than trips for my family members. I don't need to elicit all my numerous generosities here. Neither do I seek praise or validation.
For you as a guy, I encourage you to show compassion to these ladies...if it is within your capacity.

I do myself without strings, just want to be sure you are balanced, because some do more for outsiders than their nuclear family which I consider to be hypocrisy

OfeAchi:
What a warped up mindset.
Can't a guy sponsor a trip with no strings attached?

I once sponsored a trip for a lady back to Nigeria from Russia. I didn't ask for nothing in return.

How many of your family members have you assisted like this, have you spent such amount of money on your parents just asking to confirm something

1b8m:
I have a friend who wants to relocate to either Canada or UK. She has a PhD in chemical engineering, postgraduate diploma in business administration, 10years of work experience as business development manager of a waste management company and 20m naira budget.

Can she make it to the UK or Canada? If no, which other country can fall within her budget?

Canada is the best for her, she should apply for PR or just go on holiday first

Burruchaga71:
Is he a Nigerian or Biafran?

does United Nation recognize Biafria?

Burruchaga71:
He's talking as if Ekpa is dead. Ekpa will be release in 2029 and the struggle will continue.
God bless Ekpa and all the freedom fighters all over the world.

he will be released and deported to Nigeria abi you don't understand

MadPolitician:
The corruption involved in the way the Finish authorities ran through this strange rulling after their government officials visited Nigeria few years ago, will one day be revealed. It has always been about using nigerias hydrocarbons as a bargaining chip to get international support for the oppression of the eastern part of Nigeria. The same way the sponsorship of Nigerias war against Biafra by the UK and SHELL has been exposed. Bakassi too..

Obviously there is a good chance that some oil wells and gas fields were tossed around to curry favours. But the truth will come out someday. For the Finish court to declare the agitations of a people for freedom as a terrorist activity, isn't just mind-boggling but also highlights in clear terms the international conspiracies that have been used to hold Biafra down for ages..

But as Biafra lays on the ground, so is Nigeria in a pepertual comatose state..

I know you are emotional about the whole matter, but fact be told, what Finland law checkmated isn't fight for freedom but terrorism

Hhh4444:
do you even know the meaning of "illiterate" ?

geh geh himself referred himself to be one

temizeee:
Since you said “Holy Bible has already told you what to do about avoiding dangerous ladies you now need Geh Geh to tell you, is that not foolishness”.

Think critically too and you will understand Geh Geh too dey do God’s work
Since they can’t read the 66 books, 📚 geh geh don dey help, it’s not a shame

its a shame because the bible instructed us to study to show ourselves approved and to be discerning, now needing an illiterate to tell you what to do shows how foolish one is

Many Nigerians lack critical thinking he was not referring to Geh Geh but those attending, the point is making is that when the Holy Bible has already told you what to do about avoiding dangerous ladies you now need Geh Geh to tell you, is that not foolishness. Meanwhile his point is not about Geh Geh but about those who go to churches where they are not allowed to put their brains to use

Listening2:
She's my babe and just returned from Dubai as japa plans didn't go well. She has 3m saved and wants my advice on what business she can start here in Lagos.

I need your input guys. If possible with a breakdown for the said amount.

e-commerce, buy goods from China or from cheap locals and sell online, if she is able to X3 or X4 the prices she can scale the 3m to 12m in 3 to 4 months

Procashtips:
Almost 42 years
A freelance/independent consultant
With 2 children (Almost 6 and Almost 4)
Wife working.

Lost it all in bad collaboration, fraudulent investments, bad/wrong investments and also theft.

Got an asset that can give him ₦20m after debts are paid.
How does he bounce back with the above?

Rent is 2m annually
School fees is 300-350k termly.
Feeding ₦150k+ monthly
Others: ₦100k monthly


If you are in his shoes, what are you going to do?

He plans to be responsible for running the house this time around without relying on assistance from the wife to restore sanity/orderliness.

Advice him from the point of financial and career stability,

Not as bad as one would think, first thing first you should look at registering a company both in Nigeria and the US for your independent consultancy. Open all necessary bank account, set a SMART target and then go and learn how to sell yourself and have a product to sell, you can consider e-commerce too or digital prodcuts. If you do all rightly you can net in lots of money. The goal is meeting new people and doing business with them. For every services, put a percentage for taking care of your wife and kids.

JustAvo:
Like I told one of you yesterday, pls while defending this government or any private person, do not leave your brain behind. This is not to defend PO, but I find it funny that APC depleted the reserve in question, another APC government has grown a segment of it and are expecting applause. For what? My son bashes my car, I repair it and expect the community to praise me? Common!
Let the president and his cohorts concentrate on making life better for the citizens and leave the need for constant validation. He asked for the job(no, not asked, but did all manner to get d job n doing all manner to retain same), why expect constant praise for doing little to nothing?

Is 50kg rice now 9000? Is petrol now 150/ltr? Do most average government workers' salary comfortably feed em and their immediate family? If all this becomes a yes then, why won't people hail d government? (Atleast 9ja for don dey whr e bn dey as d biggest economy in Africa b4 APC)

This points you raised are quite emotional for me, we like many other African countries are in a very disadvantaged situation. The whole world economics is highly rigged and we don't have any choice than to play along, for example why should I generate so much funds only to put it in a world centralized purse saying it's meant to stabilize the economy based on globalized Point of view, no thanks to the likes of Maynard Keynes. I often don't blame our political leaders, they are playing the games they were taught which is to be second fiddle in a global narrative designed by the western powers. Our economic weakness is because we are using theoritical economic concept cultured to trap us in instabilities and in several decades from now I see this complain still prevailing

Seems I am like him, same first name. I loved business than classroom, I told myself I want to register my own company by 18 right from age 12. I fumbled a lot in class, which confused my teachers who felt how could I be so intelligent but not doing well in exams. But my parents being civil servants always felt the best thing was school. I went through school but had extra years twice during my undergraduates, I just love business not classrooms even though I read a lot

After Tinubu gets 2nd Term he will possibly move Wike from Minister of FCT to Minister of Works or Power

He wants to position the refinery as a global player

The NYSC Certificate wey no too get usefulness except for matter that concern government. If I were her I will let NYSC keep it until I become big enough that they will be pursuing me with it

lexy2014:
did you ask them before you said the following?



are offerings not collected during the annual convention?

does the church give account to is congregants as to how it uses monies donated to it?

Like I told you drive down to their headquarters and ask them what you are not asking your senators

lexy2014:

you can go and ask them about that

blackgold2018:
Tinubu that you re trusting presently what have come out of it?

and who told you I trust Tinubu, when I am not an ethnical bigot. How do you expect me to trust someone who promised not to leave APGA but left, and made other promised but changed

I don't trust Peter Obi with the one term promise, he is playing on the intelligence of the north because he knows they are desperate

in case many of you don't know, Whenever convention holds, feeding and other activities are to be taken care of by the church and often donation get that done. If Nigeria Government is doing close to what the likes of Pastor Adeboye is doing we will be better .

petchab:
Hello everyone,

I'm currently exploring opportunities to invest ₦55 million (Nigerian Naira) into a solid and scalable business venture, specifically within Ibadan city. My decision is firm on focusing only on Ibadan due to its growing economy, vibrant population, and unique market dynamics.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who know Ibadan well — whether you’re a resident, an entrepreneur, or someone who has done business in the city. What sectors or types of businesses do you believe have high growth potential or are currently underserved in Ibadan?

Some questions to guide your suggestions:

What businesses are thriving or emerging in Ibadan right now?

Are there untapped markets or growing trends in the city?

Would you recommend real estate, agriculture, hospitality, retail, tech, manufacturing, or something else entirely?

What are the risks and advantages of your suggested business idea?

I’m open to both traditional and innovative business models, as long as they’re practical and grounded in the reality of Ibadan’s economy and demographics.

Looking forward to your ideas and local wisdom. Thanks in advance!

My advice, form a company, acquire some lands, and come up with a tourism based plan and designs. I have links that can help you access upward of $1 Million in different options including equity funding. Chat me up on 08089456258 if you are interested

SmartPolician:
In 2018, my friend, who just completed her master's degree programme on a Commonwealth Scholarship from a UK university, used Lagos State for her thesis and prepared a comprehensive roadmap for tackling traffic gridlock in Lagos and helping the state build a more properous economy.

She sought audience with Lagos State Commissioner of Transport so she could share the master plan with him, but she couldn't get access to him after several attempts. She moved on with her life and got another scholarship to do her PhD in the UK now.

In our part of the world, research is just useless. We are always waiting for the west to sell us finished products so we can buy if we can afford it.

she would have sent a DHL letter that would have got to him

mrhunse:

I am a nigerian in diaspora and havent been to nigeria in almost 20 years, but have been running a business there.

I have a dom account I kept funds there and was told it would be recalled to CBN if remained dormant for a period, so i reactivated it, after so much protracted delay, pain and headache and trying to transfer part of the funds out to my personal bank account

[b]But the staff keep dribbling me, its going over a year and nothing. [/b]I have had a GTB account and never ever had an issue once

I have gotten access to a few of the 1st bank staff, who just keep apologising and promising get, this, get that, tomorrow, but still nothing

Their complaints department only responds with an apology and the dribbling continues

Please help, please keep it polite

Metrofox:
your phd in economics was on import dependency markets?

you don't rush and close a gate, is understandable by you. Imagine that importing fuel cost cheaper than local production then the main local producer is trying to monopolize the market

Metrofox:
you are not serious, you people need some evaluation. So we keep spending forex importing fuel that is under our feet . for years the talk was always about we don't have refineries,we have crude, wasting on subsidy. Now we have refinery the new talk is we need to have 5 or 10 more ,I wonder the kind of education people get in this country

You seem not to know basic economics,
