Coming back to ask; hope you japaed!!! 6 years after and the country is a mess!

Dogalmighty17:
Na 300k only dey make you cap like this? Bros! You are not yet ready for marriage. You and your fiancee are just on the path to multiply poverty.

If just 300k is an issue for you now, how the hell do you plan on providing for your home?

So u will not move on with your life because the economy is bad? For how long will u wait? Inflation will keep making things more expensive! Just look at 2020 till now. The intending couple should just make sure they are earning regularly. They should do what they have to do and cut their coat according to their cloth.. Nevertheless be diplomatic with your inlaws and not strain your relationship with them and with your wife... I like what someone above said, just do what you can... but i repeat don't strain those relationships!!

He said mid 2000s. By 2005, 3310 was just a few thousands and sim was already N100. It could have been an uncle ' s phone also.

Marfianjayd:
Cooked up!

How were you able to afford a phone? I could remember how expensive it was to use a phone then

Start your ICAN.

Nigeria population is about 250 million,why not share $1 billion US dollar to every citizen to solve the problem of poverty or why is it so difficult to implement

Drugs are ńot worth it! Seek help now b4 u enter into a big regret

stevnwigw1:
With this, the military may take over power to restore sanity.

U GenZs should stop shouting this military thing anyhow.. if d military, you will now see the grand mother of corruption... maybe u don't know that IBB a military president was the one that made corruption a popular thing in Nigeria and Abacha another military head of state expanded corruption frontiers

DodadaKoKigbe:
If you use violence to 'discipline' your child, you're NOT disciplining, you're TRAUMATIZING.

You are a joker!
Better to 'traumatize' d child than raise an indisciplined bunch like british children!
And what discipline gives to the child is self control... the child can deviate from a training later on if he thinks doesn't need it but he has the self control in that area.. So you can train a child to wake up to wash every morning and he is used to that growing up but then later feels prolonging his sleep is more beneficial to his life.
Or u can discipline him not to steal, grows up and he can do without stealing but gets into Nigerian govt and sees a vast opportunity to steal and sees no clear consequence of the stealing- he feels he will be better off stealing so he joins in it.
It is different from the british teenager who knows the clear consequence of stabbing someone else but just has to do it cos he lacks the discipline(self control)

Go and check again, dunlop,michelin etc closed under d Abacha era... there was no textile company by the time Abacha died in 1998. There was nothing working.. salaries were not being paid.
When I mentioned fulani and d last govt, I'm talking particularly about gmb who had such fulani ambition-- u think with all d body Language of gmb, if he was a military president, he won't have RUGARISED your village? or even clear u off your land? Would there be any state govt opposition?
Hw can u possibly compare OBJ time to abacha period-- u must really have a short memory or your father was part ofd d govt then

Brendaniel:
Do u know how many companies closed down under Abacha?

You mean fake banks that were littered all over Nigeria, Abacha was the first person to sanitize the banking sector, also the drug and cultism war, he created NDLEA and fought drugs seriously, we had textile industries and even tyre making companies like Dunlop and so on during the military, so many of them packed up during the civilian regime, Dunlop today is in Ghana.

Do u know how people could not even afford clothes?

And how many people can still afford clothes in today's government?
The purchasing power of Nigerians under Abacha is still higher than all the civilian regimes since 1999, if you want raw data on that I will bring it here for you, just make the request.....

If buhari last govt was military, don't you see d fulani would have over run the country by now?

It is very obvious you did not experience any military rule, ask anybody old enough at that time if there was anything like Fulani attacks in any part of Nigeria or bandits or militants, people travelled at night in those days, security was way better, it was until democracy in 1999 we started hearing of militants and since that time it hasn't changed instead got worse, Abacha would have crushed anything that posed a threat in his government.


The military & police brutality- are they not carry over from the military being in power for a long time?

And what have all the civilian governments done about it, instead they only made the rich have their way with the same police and army as escort and hand bag and umbrella carriers while others are still brutalized anyhow, in the military time at least it was different because the brutality was felt by everyone, if a whole Abiola who was the richest man then could be affected then it would have been a serious concern today if the rich were also affected today in a civilian rule, so what is the poor who make a majority of Nigerians benefiting from the civilian regime against police and army brutality because now even the rich now pay the military to brutalize the poor too and no one is doing anything about it..


Yes Obj could have done much better, but have u forgotten d fake drug menace his govt deal with , the debt relief, the banking recaps, pension reforms, the stock market reforms, intro of mobile telcos to the country?

Yes if you read my first comment well, you will see where I said OBJ came close to what Nigerians benefited from the military, so I acknowledged that, even at that most of these things would have still come because the world started becoming a global village after 1999, the Y2K effect, the advancement of technology and so on, are there not other countries ruled by the military that have all these things you mentioned?...

Khaki is very different from leather ó!
Infringement of right in a democracy is very different from suspension of rights in a military regime! Don't wish to be in a worse situation o

sweerychick:
Aside from C which has to do with periodic elections are Nigerians not currently experiencing all you listed their? Do our politicians respect the rule of Law, are we practicing what's on the constitution? Can we freely express our rights without DSS harassing the living daylights outta you? My dear the only thing I am against about military regime is Sanctions from the West because we heavily depend on them for virtually everything. So it would be suicidal for us to slide back to Military regime except no sanctions. For me Nigeria doesn't deserve democracy or what we are practicing. Military are far more discipline than civilians the only problem with it today is that they've been corrupted by politicians

Aremubabs and brendaniel that are saying we benefited more under the military are huge jokers!!
Do u know how many companies closed down under Abacha? Do u know how people could not even afford clothes? Do u know how many months salaries was routinely òwed?
If buhari last govt was military, don't you see d fulani would have over run the country by now?
The military & police brutality- are they not carry over from the military being in power for a long time?
Yes Obj could have done much better, but have u forgotten d fake drug menace his govt deal with , the debt relief, the banking recaps, pension reforms, the stock market reforms, intro of mobile telcos to the country?
I don't believe you when you say u were around in the military era except u have a very short memory

Christistruth03:
You definitely didn't experience Gen Sani Abacha

Many Social Media Bloggers would have gone Missing

PLS TELL HIM O!!
Military is not it at all!

Young man, why are u stressing yourself psychologically?
What is there to know about d process of moving to another firm? Is it not just to be on the look out for their graduate or experienced hire adverts?
And you can also wait for 6 months or 1 year and apply to move to audit in your current firm-- u should be easily obliged as most people want to move the other way.

xammax:
Hi guys,

So I recently got a job in a big 4 firm. Apparently I’m in tax and I am absolutely not finding it enjoyable.

I’m sad about this because I want to do audit.

I’m only sticking it through, it appears I cannot move in my firm because I just joined and going to a year.

I do want to leave to another big 4 firm to audit as I don’t mind starting over but then I do not know the process of doing this to make this move.

How do I cope with something I absolutely do not find joy in.

Advise…..

Shooting in the usa is another problem beyond children indiscipline which involves allowing guns indiscriminately..
We are talking about children behaviour generally..
And I'm telling u what u know that the western children are far less well behaved on the avg than Nigerian children.
BTW u sound like d parent that will bring out a belt to deal with his teenager if his misbehaviour goes beyond his paygrade.

GloriousGbola:
And you think all students in us are shooting up schools? Are you capable of critical thinking at all?

You have much worse problems than your misguided obsession with corporal punishment,unfortunately.

Never take brazen risks like this in life.. SS crises is real... The only that you should be talking about is Faith towards God not this 'I don't care attitude' about real life issues

Puss360:
Lols... Just live your life normal... Nobody knows tomorrow... AA, AS or SS deserve a chance to enjoy happiness...
As it is, you are marrying for genotype...
Just live your life normal, don't put much pressure on your genotype.. when a woman comes your way... Love her and let her love you too...
When someone loves you, genotype doesn't matter...
Okay.. what if you are AS and be impotent nko??
So u see that life is not guaranteed...
If i see someone new and first thing the person ask me is for my genotype.. I'll tell you but that's the end of the relationship...
Love me for who I am not what I am ..
If a man with SS loves me to the core... I'll marry him.. even if he does the next day, I'll be grateful that he gave me those memorable moments of my life....

Be happy.. that's what matters ..

Great.. u saw cultists then.. Were up to half of the students cultists? Was it not just a small percentage terrorising the whole school?
U want to compare that to most teenagers belonging to gangs, druggies, uncouth, unruly, violent? Teenagers constituting nuisance in public places?

People as adults will still have to choose btw good and bad but at least such training as kids gives them the discipline to choose some good if they want.
Not people who were unchecked as kid druggies and gang members and grow up wishing they had a check.
Discipline your children, we didn't say kill them!

GloriousGbola:
Please stop the bullshit.

I was in university in the 90s at the height of campus cultism. Today yahoo has taken over. What nonsense values led to the prevalence of violent crime and then financial crimes by our youth?

Why is it the well brought up Nigerians are being profiled and banned from Dubai and Seychelles and other countries? The other joker has already said everything in his response to me

What is the percentage of these people in the society? Can u compare to the degeneration in the western society? Do u also know that some Nigerian parents are becoming lax on discipline?hence an increase in vices

GloriousGbola:
You wrote a complete load of crap that I responded to.

Now you are writing another load of crap

Our army of yahoo boys, colos users, hookup geng, are a sigh of our rising morality?

Where were campus cultists raised? What of area boys? What of kidnappers? Or bandits? Or killer policemen?



You see why I say you are more focused on violence than actual knowledge and critical thinking?


This is one of the most amoral societies on the planet, with people who will sell fake drugs, who will sicc robbers/kidnappers on to you, who will defend rape of children to their last breath, and you are actually blathering about declining morals in the West?

SMH
So a parent will just give an instructions and a 2 yọ will just obeying?!! Are u in this world?

1stGenAmerican:
If a parent has to flog a small 2 year old, the parent is the problem. What is the parent doing wrong that causes a 2 year old to disobey them? How can a parent not control a 2 year old without beating them?

Lets leave matrixreloaded alone.
There is no point going if u are doing 1.2 per month.. What you should do is to save about half of your earnings and invest in riskfree Treasury bills or real estate or to increase the size of your side hustle.
If you go abroad, if you are not in IT, health, or big4 accounting, your economic prosperity is doubtful.
Even if you are ok economically, you get to experience other serious issues like racism, children discipline difficulties, loneliness, weather and cultural issues..

seunowa:
Asiwaju emilokan, I give u my support on these initiatives. I know it will beget initial excruciating pain but the end has unquantifiable gains if people on driving seat maintain high discipline and optimism

Describe this end.. and how what is happening now leads to the end..
Draw the route for us

Depriest2020:
We will sir, we know it won't last long.

Based on what is this assumption?

People in Nigeria are corrupt because the system is so lax and also because of the economy. But they have the discipline in them. A lot of pple in govt were not corrupt until they got into govt and saw d opportunity..
For those abroad, they don't even hav that control of themselves... Can u honestly compare juvenile delinquency over there to that of Nigeria?
Would you be happy to have a child talking back at you, or your 12 yo scattering your house without you not able to do anything?
Dont joke with your children future, when you have them.

Nazgul:
Lol the joke is on you.

With all the beating you've received, how has it helped you. Nigeria remains amongst top 5 most corrupt country in the world.

We house one of the deadliest terrorist groups in the world (Boko Haram)

You can hardly do any clean business with a Nigerian without him trying to outsmart and cheat you.

Dishonesty is enthroned despite our strict upbringing...

In terms of morals, a 12 year old girl has been fúcked severally by hypocrites like you. So I ask again, how has all the beating you received helped you or helped this country?

Keep deceiving yourself and continue living in delusion. Those countries where beatings are outlawed are way better, more developed, safer and more honest than Nigeria.

Too many reasons not to go!!!
Your motivation alone is counterproductive: your children can't be handled as well as if you are in Nigeria... You can't touch them over there, they are exposed to too many vices over there
Workwise: Going at this age, u would have to keep working into old age to maintain bills. Here at least, u can have some property or small business to pay your bills.
Racism is very real- to you and your children!!!
Socially, u would miss the company of your close family and friends and the West is a lonely place.Nobody cares about u.
Even economically, ur profile (No IT, Medical or consulting skills)seems like one that will struggle with bills and do lots of odd jobs!!!
In short, I imagine you will thoroughly regret moving if you do!!

Alejo2000:
Hello fellow Nairalanders,

I find myself at a crucial crossroad in life and would greatly appreciate your valuable insights and diverse perspectives. I have worked diligently in a private organization for 15 years, managing to save up to N20 million. Additionally, I own a 3-bedroom apartment. and a few plots of land in three different states in Nigeria.

Current Situation:
Recently, I was disengaged from my job, and this has prompted me to contemplate a major life decision. I am 45 years old, and my wife is 42 years old. Together, we have three children, two of whom are in secondary school.

Contemplating Relocation:
Given the circumstances, I have been seriously considering the possibility of relocating to another country with my family via study route. Two countries have caught my attention: the UK and Canada. I believe that I still have around 15 years of active career working life by the Grace of God, and I am open to exploring new opportunities abroad for the betterment of my family's future.

Reasoning:
The motivation behind this move is to provide my children with a better education and quality of life while also embracing new experiences. However, I am fully aware that this is not without risks, as it would involve utilizing my lifetime savings and making a fresh start in a foreign land.

Seeking Your Advice:
I humbly seek your honest advice and opinions on this matter. Here are some key points to consider:

Family considerations: How will relocating impact my children's education and overall well-being?

Age and career transition: Is starting anew in a foreign country feasible, considering my age and accounting background as my profession?

Financial stability: Should I be concerned about using my savings for this move? What steps can I take to ensure financial security in a new country?

Visa and immigration: What are the challenges and best practices in obtaining permanent residency in the UK or Canada?

Job opportunities: How promising is the job market for accountants in these countries? Are there viable prospects for career growth?

Investment options: Alternatively, what investment opportunities in Nigeria can provide a stable income stream for my family?

Conclusion:
I am deeply grateful for any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions you can provide. Your valuable insights will play a significant role in shaping this crucial decision for my family's future.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond to my post. Your support means a lot to me and will help me make an informed choice.

Warm regards,

Flogging a human being is wrong. What if the child dies.

I think you need flogging for this comment.. So the child should be left to his foolishness right?
Have u seen videos of.a 12 yr old scattering a house and the mother couldn't do anything ?what kind of adult will she become?

You are a big joker and u should be banned from talking ..
Of course u are still quite young and you haven't been able to measure how beating you has helped you or other people

Nazgul:
From what I've understood and witness about flogging, most parents flog their children out of frustration and not to discipline them.

Take a walk around remote neighborhoods and you'll see first hand wickedness. The way parents there flog their kids, you'll think we're still in the slave era.

You don't have to flog a human being in order to make him/her have a good character. Your life is already a mirror for them. If you train them well, they'll be good. If they see hypocrisy in you and your life doesn't reflect what you're telling them to do, they'll live their lives however they want and become wayward.

This is the 21st century flogging should be banned.

You are a clown.. So u would see someone who insists on commiting suicide or selfharm and u won't restrain the person if u can for as long as u can?

Flamemignon1:
No I would not applaud and yes I will be empathetic but if it's a final decision, I literally have no say in it,so what do you want to do? Are you going to chain a person down to infringe on their right to free will? Even if it's someone you know,as long as they are an adult, there's nothing you can do but talk to them and still show them the beauty of life but the final decision is their's to make,not yours.
Moreover,most people who commit suicide rarely tell people before they do

Flamemignon1:
I recently had this argument with someone on this forum,as long as the person is of sane mind and they want to end their life, it's literally none of my business,you can choose to talk them out of it but in the end,they have autonomy over their bodies and should decide whatever they want to do with it as long as it doesn't harm others. Moreover, euthanasia is already legal in most countries

Of course if someone commits suicide or selfharm, u won't beat the person up... but u will sure pity the person and would certainly not accept it as a normal, correct way of life.
You will also not applaud selfharm or legalise madness.
Neither will you teach kids that selfharm, suicide , mad behaviour is an ok, acceptable alternate form of life.
Btw the euthanasia u keep shouting is legal is only legal in very few countries and only for very sick people living in severe pain with no hope medically not just any random mental health patient.
You have a big PROBLEM, you are NOT ok.. You may not be harming someone else doesn't stop the fact that you have a very big problem that you should look for solution for and not accept it as a way of life.

Flamemignon1:
You are comparing someone doing whatever they want with their body with someone causing harm to another human being,two different things,my body my choice, it's not in your place to dictate what I do with my body,this world will be a better place if we all learn to mind our business

And that's exactly where you missed it!!
Would you be so unconcerned and even pleased if an obviously mad man harms or wants to kill himself? Would you be very comfortable if the madman's way of life is taught to children as an alternate way of living?

It is a disorder.. the fact that someone has been schizophrenic since childhood does not make it any less a disorder!!

Those who want to relocate should take note of non economic but bigger problems like this.
