Russia may go down facing UK, EU, USA and NATO alone but she won't go down alone, she will bring all of them down with herself. They knew. It will be mess and our world won't be the same. They're only assuming that Putin is bluffing about nuclear weapons if it becomes a full blown war with NATO True she wont go down alone....its a mutual destruction |

Nnamdipapa: My brother, abroad is good but not the way it is being marketed by these onyibo people. After almost two decades, I have come to appreciate and love Africa and Nigeria more than anything else. No onyibo can deceive people like me again. I am selling some properties and buying a good home in Naija. As you rich man, enjoyment plenty for Naija but most rich people I see here are not happy.
Beside, I will always remain a minority here but in Naija, I full ground gidigba. With the knowledge I have about the world, It is easier to make money in Nigerian than here. I pay almost N9m here every month in Mortgages excluding other expenses.
In 10 years, no one has visited my kids at home and they are practically begging for friendship. That is not a life I want and not the way I grey up. I agree wit u somehow.i myself Tried relocating wit my fsmily n it didnt work.Now i could keep trying as i can afford to do that bt i gave up becos deep inside me wit d knowledge i got from Schooling in uk n visiting many other European countries i really didnt want to relocate.infact d only reason i wanted to relocate was for security issues.I live in naija n own houses already n i make millions monthly frm multinational organization.Now i hav settled for frequent holidays wit my family n moved on to real estate in naija |

They're merely playing with Ukraine because they're literally brothers. UK about to into serious recession then.

But Jonathan should take several seats backwards, he's the reason APC is suffocating Nigerians with his gentlemanliness.

Politics › Re: Davido’s Diplomatic Blunder: Why Trashing Nigeria Abroad is a Dangerous Misstep by bdon123(m): 9:51am On Nov 24, 2024 |
malali: Davido, a global icon and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated artists, holds significant sway over millions worldwide. His dual identity—born in Atlanta, Georgia, and raised in Nigeria—affords him a unique perspective. However, with influence comes responsibility, especially for someone awarded the national honor of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) for his contributions to the Nigerian entertainment industry. His recent comments, where he expressed discouragement about African Americans relocating to Nigeria, underscore a need for caution and diplomacy.
The Importance of Constructive Criticism
No one disputes the challenges Nigeria faces—economic instability, infrastructural deficits, and political strife, to name a few. These are realities that Nigerians live daily. But as a public figure, especially one benefiting immensely from Nigerian support, Davido has a responsibility to critique constructively. Comparing the slums of Nigeria to the struggles of the United States could have been an opportunity to highlight resilience, entrepreneurship, or the emerging entertainment industry’s vibrancy.
Rather than casting a shadow on the motherland, Davido could have adopted a balanced tone: • Acknowledge challenges honestly without exaggeration. • Highlight the opportunities for growth and investment. • Emphasize the sense of community and culture that defines Nigeria.
Davido’s Platform: A Double-Edged Sword
Davido’s platform has elevated Nigerian music globally. His fan base in Nigeria forms the foundation of his success, and it is their unwavering support that propelled him into international stardom. To discourage African Americans from engaging with Nigeria, a country that has embraced him as one of its leading ambassadors, risks alienating his core supporters.
While the United States grapples with homelessness, racial inequality, and mass incarceration, American artists like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, or Chris Brown rarely, if ever, disparage their homeland on international platforms. Their approach is one of advocacy, highlighting issues without denigrating their roots.
Immaturity and Consequences
Davido’s comments might seem candid, but they come across as tone-deaf given his stature and role. To suggest that African Americans avoid Nigeria entirely could: • Harm tourism and cultural exchange efforts. • Damage the perception of Nigeria globally. • Alienate his Nigerian fans, whose loyalty underpins his career.
It is not alarmist to state that if Nigerians boycotted his music, his career trajectory could shift dramatically. The entertainment industry thrives on goodwill, and losing the support of one’s home base can be career-ending.
The Need for an Apology
As someone conferred with a national honor, Davido must hold himself to a higher standard. A public apology would go a long way in mending fences. It’s not about suppressing valid criticism; it’s about expressing it in a way that uplifts rather than tears down. His handlers and media team must ensure that his statements align with his role as a cultural ambassador.
A Call for Advocacy, Not Dismissal
Davido has the power to advocate for change. He can: • Highlight areas where African Americans or other diasporans could contribute to Nigeria’s development. • Use his platform to call for better governance and investment. • Show the vibrant aspects of Nigeria alongside its challenges.
Rather than discouraging engagement with Nigeria, Davido should foster dialogue and inspire hope. Advocacy, not dismissal, is the hallmark of a mature and impactful leader.

Family › Re: Getting This Off My Chest: My Strained Relationship With My Dad by bdon123(m): 4:01am On Nov 24, 2024 |
amazinghands: I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.
Background: I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.
2010: While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)
2016: I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.
On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.
Fast Forward to Today: I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.
Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.
Am I in the wrong here? Dont break ur bank for him.if u can afford it do it.Dont go broke trying to maintain his lifestyle so he still looks rich.M having same issue wit my dad. |
