I will be there for a whole month without tasting it. Meat and fish generally is not my thing. Can't even finish one side wing of a small chicken. I see people gulping 2 laps of chicken and I wonder how they do it

Eeyah... sorry o!

It is too much of a sacrifice to go through all that, not having a life just for a so called future of your children, raising them in an environment of very little discipline and wrong gender definitions

crusufixo:
What most peeps dont know is that the japa is for the future of the kids, not the Adults. The kids would have a better chance growing into the system than the adults who are already fully grown.hence, even if it is to sweep the roads to ensure that the kids remain in Uk, the parents / adults would do it. Any full grown adults that think that he / she is travelling abroad to become rich is just making a grievous mistake. The actual context of travelling abroad is to provide an opportunity for their family.....

Am not a joker bro, every BIzness that I know always have their own risk too, stop saying what you don't know about music BIzness because someone said an album can flop. I only bring it as an idea hear based on my 15 years experience in music production and bizness. You don't need to tackle an idea someone brought based on experience.. shetigbo alayonuso

See, d fact remains is there is a high risk that an investment in that line doesnt yield returns esp if the investor is not the one managing the business

The naira is weak because of low oil production and lower oil price in addition to the loans and also increased import demand due to increased population &taste

I agree with some of the reasoning in ur original post but not the assertions..
For instance, would it hurt if we dont import at all and produced every cloth and food we needed for everybody even if at higher selling price.. and we still exported oil... would there be any hurt on the economy ? So u see import must be checked else import (demand) can grow to a level to which export cannot match esp if local industry is low

mrvitalis:
Firstly that's a big lie at the bolded

Our trde deficit has always been between +4 billion to -4 billion dollars

If you add foreign remittance it has always been positive

India has always had negative trde deficit

Your naira is weak not from import.. But loans your government take

Short memory of how $ was 750 vs 1600 in the black market? Or of hw pryrilhas gone from N180 to N900?
Or hiked electricity rates or university school fees? Or the over 200% increase in food prices and rent ?
Or how purchasing power has reduced?

SavageResponse:
You people just like to talk about things you know nothing about.

Do you know that it is possible for you to invest N15 million in producing a music album and it still ends up a commercial flop?!

The guy is just a joker... imagination wants to kill him.
Pple.just imagine possibilities in their heads without thinking about the risks those things don't happen as expected or the probability of those possibilities..

Kefo16278:
The story is not complete ..
What led to the shooting??
U can’t tell me they began shooting without a cogent reason..

Like u are new in this country ?

kingreign:
The number of flight US handles in 3 months is what Nigeria handles in 5 years. Do the math.

Ok.. u too calculate d ratio of crashes to flights... hw many fatal crashes have u had per flight in Nigeria in d last 10 yrs?
Btw to those saying Trump caused all these... he did not - he might have worsened it though... there have been at least 170.fatal crashes in the USA per year since 2023!.. it is a systemic failure.. an emergency needs to be declared in that sector

What!

QuinQ:
There is this. Then there is also this below:

And the 2nd example is more of the case

Ikaeniyan0:
They were existing before Obasanjo became the president in 1999, they were never defeated before he left in 2007, they were still operating during and after his tenure.

Ok.. so were they operating at the level.they are operating now? Let's not be sentimental..
Atiku might not be d best candidate for 2027, but what he said there is absolutely right... right from GEJ, there was no strong political will to deal with bokoharam

I don't agree.. a school can be entirely free and a person of the calibre of Zuckerberg can most definitely run A free school all her life... is it not a finite amt that is spent? Is it up to $10m/annum.. pple that are centibillionaires..

nairalanda1:


I'm not making fun of you, I am just laughing at the concept of free school

IN America, Priscilla, Mark Zuckerberg's wife, set up a free school. EVERYONE was welcome, she employed very good teachers, and a lot of students passed through that school, rich and poor. Many benefited (one rich celeb who enrolled her child there said her child had thrived in the school).

After over ten years, she closed the school. Reason, it was draining the money. Her money, her husband's money.

Nothing like free school. You still have to pay taxes, pay teachers salaries, pay for books and equipment, and pay for maintenance. And unless you got a bottomless pit of money, or you have a foundation where rich people are donating billions in dollars and euros, you cannot run a free school. School dey cost money. At the end, you go charge fees, or you will drain your money sponsoring the school, or you will cose it down.

EdiskyHarry:
Wow, if there's anything I'll be grateful to my Akwa ibom State government, it's all about my education. I never paid shishi through out my primary and secondary school, Even waec, text books and other essential things were all free. God bless obong Victor attah, God bless Godswil akpabio, God bless udom Emmanuel, God bless Umo Enoh and God bless Akwa ibom State.

For a state that gets massive 13% derivation, u shouldn't have less at all. Kudos to them all the same despite their grand corruption.

@omonnakoda
It is alwyas a good thing to have a cash crop living up to its potential. We have plenty of lands for other crops! U can encourage value addition without stopping Cocoa production

[quote author=TouchNfollow post=135239439][/quote]No be olden days be this so? LOL

Well. U are right about going for a masses oriented party and all that... but I dont agree that it's d son of nobody that can uplift this country... majority of our current politicians are children of nobody, even activists like oshiomole but see what they have become...

Eriokanmi:
I know say na pressure cause am. The caption was misleading,as if he did so willing. No politician will do that in Nigeria, not even muda himself.

To all of you on nairaland dying over these guys, shebi you can see how they're hijacking your position and future from you before your korokoro eyes and giving it to their children? Keep it up.

When I put labour party upon my head ahead of 2023 elections, a lot of you even called me unpritable names. You need a grassroots-based, masses-oriented party to belong, in order to have your voice heard. These politicians don't send your papa, including tinubu himself. All of you can see what his son has turned himself into lately. Who says you too can't become wards counsellor, LG Chairman of your state, even governor? A lot were drooling over seyi Tinubu's rumoured interest in lagos guber months ago, when you too aren't born differently.

It doesn't have to be LP but any party that focuses on grassroots development cos youths have the number, they don't. Stop getting paid peanuts by these guys in order to steal your future . Nigeria isn't America where the son of nobody like Obama can become somebody. We're far from that level. Only God can make such happen here and your determination to become somebody cos there are wolves and hyenas who are ready to eliminate you before you near that place. Your fork has to be very long to be able dine with them. Why didn't mudasiru obasa pick one of those defending him here or in agege,why his son? You can answer that question yourself. Stop being sycophants when you too can actually lead. 8 of the youths I know are councillors in alimosho under LP. Dem don start their career be dat. Apc candidates endorsed by obas lost woefully. My barber is one of the councillors.

2027 is not far again, gather yourselves, join a less popular party, mobilise the youths and make your good programme known. We've seen candidates who were screened out by apc and pdp but contested under LP and won, stressfree. There were several children of nobody who defeated the almighty apc and pdp candidates, those endorsed by governors, senators, even obas or obis in their constituencies but lost woefully to LP candidates across the country. You don't have to spend money. People will contribute for you, just be sincere and genuine with your plans.

Only children of nobody can govern Nigeria and deliver on promises not all these politicians whose children have been initiated into various cults. Obasa doesn't stay in his constituency in agege. He lives on the island with his family but you are in agege for example. You know what's happening around you and where development is needed. Muda's son.does not. He didn't even school here. They'd kill your voice and do the bidding of their parents and godfathers if you keep worshipping them. Nigeria is jointly owned. Don't be surprised one day when you see the son of MC oluomo coming from America to contest oshodi-isolo LG Chairmanship post. Wetin do you?

Enough said

helinues:
You are sick. Infact chronically sick

Are u in d right frame of mind at all? Tell me one economic index that has improved in the last 2 yrs

For her, she is a lady and u need to consider that her time must not be wasted.. so it's either a marriage in sight or release her to go!
Now, for u, do u love her greatly, do u think u can easily get someone like her and that in canada? Do u think it might not be easy to get someone like her in canada? If so, i think u should just plan towards marrying her late next yr..that's still almost 2 yrs but at least she has something definite and u should have finished schooling by then. U should possibly think of relocating to the usa.. whatever it is, u should be able to weather the storm together (without children) for some time.

Xavier0978:
Hey guys,

Please, I need your opinion on this issue. So I’ve known my girlfriend since NYSC 2019, and ever since then, we’ve been best of friends. I travelled out in 2022, but we still kept in touch and from there we started dating. I’m 29 and she’s also 29. Honestly, I have plans to settle down and marry her when things are right.

A quick note: she’s been trying to come over to meet me as a student ever since I got here, but for one reason or the other it hasn’t worked out (Canada visa rejections and all). Now, she’s talking about how she plans to settle down before her next birthday and even suggested that I marry her while she waits in Nigeria for a maximum of two years before joining me. She really just wants to get married.

To be honest, I currently work and I’m also doing another master’s program in a very reputable institution here in Canada, and I will be done this year. The stress of working and schooling is a lot, and my current workplace pays the barest minimum. I literally have nothing left after sorting out all my bills and expenses. I’m not financially ready to settle down right now, and I even gave her a timeline of two years. Worst case, no matter what, we’ll settle down in two years max. Let me try and fix things for myself here. I can’t marry and bring someone’s daughter here to come and suffer.

I’m a worried person. My dreams are really big and God knows I’m working tirelessly to achieve them. She also knows because I discuss everything with her. Honestly, I understand her point of view, but I’m the kind of person that gets really anxious easily. It would kill me to get married, have kids, and not be able to cater for them.

I know you can’t have everything financially before settling down, but I want at least a moderately stable job. One that allows me to take care of her confidently even if she comes over and doesn’t work immediately. To be honest, my job pay is very low, like unimaginably low, and I’m just barely surviving. I’ve pictured every possible scenario, thinking and planning ahead, but everything is pointing to one answer — I’m not ready.

Considering her age and the kind of person she is, I strongly believe that after marriage she will want kids and to start building a family. That’s not a bad thing, but I, as a man, don’t want to get stuck in that life yet because I know the kind of future I envision. I’ve always promised myself that I won’t raise a family on “manage-manage.” I feel like if I get married now and start raising a family, my focus will shift entirely to making sure they live well, which could make me lose track of my personal goals.

I swear, I know my girlfriend loves me. That’s not in doubt. But I’ve been pleading with her to give me at least two more years. If after that things are still not great, then we’ll settle down and manage until something better comes.

Right now, to be honest, I don’t even have anything financially to plan a small wedding, and I definitely won’t borrow or ask anyone for financial support to do a wedding.

Please, I want your honest opinion. The two options here are: either get married before this time next year or end the relationship now, as there are other people already asking for her hand in marriage.

That will be the loan company's loss... You cannot assume liability for something just because someone used your name & BVN. Legally speaking, there is no valid contract with you because it can be proven it wasn't you that took the loan. You ARE NOT ur BVN or phone number
If a loan house tries to recover the loan from your other bank accounts, they can be sued.. this is why loan houses must have tight systems in place to ensure they get the identity of their customers right

tunnyl:
Ever gotten weird calls about repaying a loan you never took? Or worse—money vanishing from your account? Welcome to the BVN scam, where fraudsters borrow loans linked to your identity without you knowing.

🔥 How It Works:

> Someone opens a fintech account using your BVN (without your consent).

> The system links it to your existing bank profile.

> Over time, they build loan credit and borrow big.

> They vanish. Guess who gets chased for repayment? YOU.

🔑 How to Protect Yourself:

✅ Keep your BVN & NIN private—don’t share with anyone.
✅ Check your bank & fintech profiles for suspicious activity.
✅ Turn on security alerts and enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
✅ Report any weird transactions ASAP to your bank.

🔴 Stay alert. Guard your identity. Don’t let fraudsters wreck your finances!

What about bokoharam vice?

richmond500:
Wow, Tinubu an drùg pusher, gave birth to Seyi an agbero.
Befriended Wike, a political thug
Share same ideology with Akpabio, a woman molester.

They are ruling the country with steal, grab, and run away with it mentality.

gidgiddy:
Do you know any Nigerian President, civilian or Military, who managed to leave Nigeria better than he met it?

Tell us

Obasanjo as civilian president
A lot of poverty existed as at the time abacha died. By 2003, 2007 the middle class had already rẹ emerged.. banks were stronger, pension reform was in place, dora had sanitized the drug industry. We were debt free from the paris club
The economy had some serious growth !

RastaSpeakTruth:
The question remains, Why not adopt a child legally??

They just didnt perfect their documentation..
Cos if u are going to foster & take care of a child, will u leave d child in Nigeria while u live in d UK?

greenbrave:
Hello fam.

I was dating this girl, I really love her so much. She has my quality and all.

But recently, she BROKE up with me. Due to my own fault, yes it's me. I wasn't romantic and don't listen to her.

Now, this is just 3 day back. I can't seem to. hold myself.


I just want to know if it's okay to talk to. her about it.

Since u really like her, I would say go back to her if she agrees work on your romance and listening-to - woman skills... u can take tutorials from older ones around you who are doing that well...
Now while there is the risk like many have mentioned that she will weaponize that, she might not and u may practice your improvement with her and see get better.. and u can always leave if she gives u attitude

Drug addiction is inherently demonic.. stay in Faith in God that u have overcome it and also don't make the mistake of going back to it

Ehismarkninetee:
It’s being over 70 Days since I took the last tablet of Tramadol . Before then i was completely consumed by the poison! But after I had the last seizure! I told my myself am done! I told myself I choose life over death. To make this a reality, I had to make conscious steps, one of these steps is to be around family, since they are aware of my struggle they accepted and supported me wholeheartedly. This really helped me during the first weeks of withdrawal. Another step I took was to let God help me, I cried to him to help that I was truly tired, you see, one thing that really scared me about stopping TRAMADOL was the insomnia, If I don’t take Tramadol I can’t sleep. So I was really scared about this. but God helped me by giving me the Energy and motivation of going to the Gym, so the very first day I stopped I was in the gym. So after workouts my body will break down and I will be able to sleep all through the night. It was a miracle, God really helped me get good sleep. I must say the only problem i struggled with was just the cravings. The withdrawal symptoms were not very evident. Considering the fact that I quit Cold Turkey and from daily Use of nothing less than 1500MG - The transition to sobriety was seamless and easy without any use of alcohol or weed or any other drugs was indeed a MIRACLE. Along the way I came to fall Inlove with books and setting up a daily routine this has helped me managed my time daily. I know 78 days is still very early to say am fully over the addiction but this time last year I never imagined I could stay 1 day without Tramadol. So it’s a miracle. All Glory be to God

If not for the gross decay in the society, should this even be a question? Quite sad!!

Bobodee09:
As a parent i don't think I can ever give out any of girls to a yahoo boy. The thought always drive me nut.

I have a lil cousin who is getting married this year, we got to meet her fiance over the weekend and the guy is a G boy, he has no other skills. Some of us aren't comfortable with it but her mother isn't bother cos obviously the guy is rich to some extent.


In asmuch we now live in a completely mannerless and moraless society as a parent can you give out your daughter in a marriage to a yahoo boy.

wazobeer:
No jail anywhere, he was just fined 650k. I know most people here won't read before commenting. The guy's probably chilling in his house now...
