Travel / Re: I'm Based In Lagos, This Is Where I Go When I Say I'm Going To The Village. by BennyDGreat: 10:32pm On Aug 04, 2023
Workch:
southwest is not developed if you remove Lagos. This I can tell you for sure.
The moment you leave to Ogun state, the remainder are nonsense. You won't even tell the difference between Markurdi and Akure

Even in Lagos, the further away you move from the Island, the lesser the development. Places like Alagbado, Ikotun, ayobo, idimu, alakuko, ijaye, ojo, ijaniki that are close to Ogun state are total mess and would not compare to an average city in other parts of Nigeria.

How what basis would you say that Abeokuta is more developed than Jos, or Akure is more developed than owerri or Osogbo is more developed than kano? Nothing is in southwest outside of lagos

Ibadan nko?

Food / Re: The Dinner I Prepared With N3800. by BennyDGreat: 10:09pm On Aug 04, 2023

No, this was 1999 but I guess as a Lagos boy who follows the mom to the market, it was too cheap to see a piece of fish selling for N20. Besides, I hate haggling from childhood even till date and my mom was nice in the sense that instead of haggling, she would tell you to prepare whatever she is buying for some amount and because she was in the food business, I guess those we buy from were always reasonable since we will be cooking to resell (my opinion).

Your opinion is very valid. Food Items are always cheaper for those who cook to sell since they buy more frequently than anyone would.

But...It's really crazy how much the naira has lost its worth through the years. Many of these folks in leadership ought to be in jail in a serious nation

That individual made a valid point in a rude way. But cooking twice in a month is a big No No.

My wife cook soups / stew that will last us for a week. She will portion it in containers in the freezer. Anybody that want to eat will just take a container.

She can slightly tweak to extend to 10 days. That way she cooks thrice instead of four times.

To think I used to buy this fish back then as a student for N20 a piece and thought it was cheap until a friend follow me to the market and we bought it at N10 a piece. That was when I realized that I was been scammed and no wonder the fish sellers loved me. Back then, in the market where my school was, this fish and "Agbodo" were the only fishes you could find. It is alarming that a piece of it now cost N400. It is well.

That must have been in the 80's... honestly Nigeria's economy needs to be studied

Exactly why I am still single till 29 now and my younger bro just got married.

Don't be pressured. Marriage na long-term affair.
Many folks who got married don't tell the truth that's why people sometimes assume marriage is easy cos of the way they always portray it. Marriage takes work. Hardwork!

Exactly I guess it would be tht school. what happened to me too, my fiancee was a pharmacy student then in UNN, then I flew in Nigeria from U.K and to Enugu. Went to Nsukka lodge at golden valley hotel( u fit know am shaa) so I really wanted to see her that night because it was meant to be a surprise visit though chatted her on Facebook where she was exactly, she said marlima but was surprised why I asked. She thought I was still at U.K via Facebook. I boarded a bike but they didn't allowed the bike cross the gate..the security men....I walked inside the campus looking lost because I schooled at Unilag actually. I met a boy in the campus who directed me but didn't tell me that stadium was risky. Omoh, I was pressing my I phone 12 pro max and it was nearly snatched from me at that uncompleted stadium building but one huge fair guy saved me by shouting "thief oh". The guy later took me to the same marlima though I felt like blessing him and gave transferred 50k to his account. I reached marlima to see my bae and didn't see her at first till I chatted again and she said she was sitting at S.u.b but she was surprised asking me what I was using it for besides that guy that saved me at stadium took me to the s.u.b which wasn't far till I saw her sitting on top of the leg of another man, it was night, she didn't see me. I calmly sat down opposite with my newly found friend, we were just observing she and guy because I wanted to be sure until suddenly she stood up with the guy, they hugged and kissed just once. I was mad! I accosted her, she was so shocked that she started crying. Omoh, I was weak to go back to my hotel and I followed my newly found friend to his house at hill top or hill hop...but the place has name like that..not sure of the exact name. I was depressed that night and the guy explained to me to avoid unn pharmacy girls, that they have pride and not submissive with promiscuous lives. Forget that am a man, I cried that night!


Na wa oh...may God not let us meet the wrong ladies. Too many ladies out there are red flags

NGO in Nigeria, only UNICEF and WHO can pay such. Tell us the NGO'S name

Generalizing that no one in any other NGOs in Nigeria earn 1k USD a month is not true.

There are folks in ACT foundation, Dangote Foundation and many other local foundation in Nigeria where folks earn more than 1k USD a month.

Bros JAPA, ignore dimwits telling you to stay in Nigeria.

The 1.2 you are earning will be worth like 100,000K, in the next 5 years given inflation caused by the monumental failure of governance in Nigeria. Every year this money will be depleted by inflation - This amount is meaningless.

The scope to earn this sort of money in Nigeria is slim, very few organizations pay such amount. Its better to be in an environment where your options are more.

JAPA , maintain links to Nigeria. If you ever feel you love Nigeria so much then come back...

But ignore dimwits telling you to stay in Nigeria - they do not have foresight.

Japa isn't for everyone daddy. Don't tell him to do so until you factor in other considerations he didn't mention here.

Again, It doesn't matter whether your pastors and mogs have conned me in particular same way it does not matter whether a yahoo boy has defrauded me personally. The fact is they are all of them scammers who prey on people for their personal benefit. undecided

Putting a pastor side by side with a yahoo boy is a big red flag.

Assuming all pastors are scammers is a bigger red flag.

Dodging the question I asked is the biggest red flag.

You know nothing about politics.
Who is amosun in nigeria politics of today?
Ambassador can be removed after few days.

Soon the presidency and the party would pick new ambassadors.

I just checked now. Ambassadors have 4 year tenure even though they can be recalled by the president. Kindly take note.

You are clearly not aware of political landscape in Ogun state, I advice you take out time to understudy a bit and come back to engage. Regards

Although I am no longer a slave of the white man's religion, I can help you with a little of what your Jewish book has to say on the subject

1. 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
34 Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
35 And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

2. 1 Timothy 2:12
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet


Stop following the religion of the white man. It's just another form of slavery

There's a context in which all scriptures you quoted were used. It doesn't seek to belittle the role of women. It only address the issue of submission.
