And we are still borrowing, don't forget our railways are been funded by China

Why does Nigeria need such Chinese funding yet it makes billions from its oil wealth?

NovesaTillie:
I moved to this city because of my new job and my neighbors have been very homely and helpful to me especially the ones next flat,a young man and his wife with a kid . They have been very kind to me, sometimes when I get home late from work his wife calls me to join them for dinner and hangouts.

My issue now is I am beginning to grow fond of the man because of how gentlemanly he treats his wife and how dotting he is of their son. He ticks all the qualities that I dream of and sometimes I just feel like inviting him over to my place when his wife is out to tempt him a little.

What can I do to stop this feeling?
I don't want someone else man or to destroy a cute family.

Please don't insult me because I am in a relationship though it's a young relationship and I cherish my man I just see myself falling for this neighbor.

This is bigamy (or something close to it) and if you actually invite him it'll be adultery.Just the truth,no BS here.

Very insightful! This thread needs to get to the front page so that our people can read and learn. There is money to be made on the African continent. It's just that, many of our people don't know how to go about it legitimately and many equally lack start up capital. I believe that if African youths are taught entrepreneurial skills and how to go about starting a business somewhere in Africa, they will go for it. But right now, African youths think that the only way to make it in life is to migrate to the western world. Meanwhile, you have Black citizens from western countries like USA who wished they lived somewhere else so that they can finally get a break from racism. Such is the irony of life.

You have bitter tribalism between Hausas vs Igbos, Hutu's vs Tutsis,Tigreans vs Amharas ,Arabs vs black Mauritanians etc.

Africa is not the calm eldorado that's being portrayed here businesswise or socio-politically .The Chinese still control your infrastructure sector ,foreign airlines control 70% of Africa's air travel mkt ,foreign carriers control your cellphone mkt and Nigeria's oil sector is dominated by western oil majors.

Let's come again and be brutally honest with ourselves vis-a vis what Singapore ,China,Malaysia and UAE have achieved in the 60yrs Africans have been independent.

Nigeria that lacks maintenance culture ? Mtchww...more plane crashes loading .

Why don't have faith in your own country? Self belief is very important in successfully getting ahead .Pessimism does the opposite .

Alexanpetal:
Ewo,they want to look for greener pasture outside Nigeria but ended up being trafficked.

With all that oil wealth why can't Nigeria be the greener pasture just like UAE and its famous Dubai?

Efewestern:
Zimbabwe? Tanzania? Kenya?

Are you really comparing these countries to us? Do you know how many Zimbabweans flood SA daily? Presently, only South Africa and some few other countries fair better than us and we know why.

Almost all African nations are facing similar challenges. What top class cities can you find in Tanzania and Kenyan? Can any even compete with what is obtainable in India?

His excuses makes perfect sense. We are not making enough money to do anything. How much do we make from oil sales? And how much is being shared to unproductive states? Can you build a skyscraper with 1 million naira?

Your stance/opinion/response doesn't make sense either.

zhike:
Kenya and South Africa strength bilateral ties.
They are the most developed countries in Africa.
They will be the only countries in Africa that produces vaccines.
Kenyans they don’t leave Kenya for greener pastures, similar to South Africans.

Where's your credible 3rd party source for this info?

A 2018 market research estimates that Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, have a combined sports trading market worth close to $40 billion.

This is an industry with a high flow of money on a daily business.

Over $900 million is traded on a daily basis.

Don't you want in on some action in this.kind of market?

That's what Quantum Sports Trading Hub provides you.

A piece of this humongous cash that flows in this industry.

This is so amazing, a very rear precious stone of a lady God bless you babe, how I wish I can see her and honour her with a gift.

You want gift a lady a gift for sticking with a man you're not related to ? This says a lot of good about you, I LIKE THAT.

Datboredberry:
[b][/b] Nigerian men's love tend to die even faster... I believe Whites are even more committed than their Black counterparts..

There's no such thing as white love or black love.Humans are same across the board and infact divorce/failed marriages are more common here in USA than in Nigeria.

Learn some self love and stop worshiping whites.

Igbos should rule Nigeria they're very industrious.

Look closely at the pics you would see the tattoos, the rest I took shows their faces that's why I don't want to post it

Are these people the Yanomami Indians? I heard they're very hostile and don't like intruders into their Amazonian jungles.

You know how to trade crypto? Teach me please i wanna get rich too.

Moreign001:
Hello Guys, Good Morning and a Happy Sunday to you all.

I don't know how concise i can be, but I will try.

I just graduated last 3 months, with my girlfriend who's now my ex, and she's 26yrs of age while I'm 28yr.

We started dating from our 200level till yesterday, (that's approximately 4yrs and counting...).
We were ideal together, we were well known in school, to an extent where her friends and mine kept asking how? And wishing theirs was like ours..

She promised never to leave, and she please everyday that I should never hurt her. At times we jokingly talked about our future kids which is now a never happening fable.

So after we graduated, she travelled to stay with her aunt, we do check on each other everyday.

Last month.. She called, and said her friend needs an advice, that she and her date just graduated, and that another man is asking her out, and she's thinking of dumping her guy since he's not ready, and that the newly known man is ready to pay for her marriage rites.
Immediately I knew she was the one in the story, because I already had several dreams were she left me. I pretended, I told her to tell her friend to "Follow Her Heart".

Last night she called, and said there's something she wants to tell me, I responded, "Is it what I already know?", she asked what? I told her she's getting married soon, and she said yes! I was speechless. I asked her for how long has this been going on, she said it started when she came to stay with her Aunt. We spoke, and I congratulated her, she started crying, I ended the call, sent her a good luck text.

This morning, she called and said she couldn't sleep last night. I asked her why she did it, why she decided to get married, she said she doesn't know. I asked if she likes the guy, she said yes. She couldn't stop crying and was saying I shouldn't leave her, while she's the one leaving me. I was totally down, but I have crazy friends. I WhatsApp a friend, told him what just happened, his words boosted me up. He said, " Support her, we move, no be God leave you". That was enough, but it's hard, really hard to move on without her, and she said the same thing and kept pleading I shouldn't leave her.
Now I'm asking, if I was the one who had left, what would have been the story? That I used her and dumped her, because this has always been used against the guys.
Why are women in a rush to marry? They don't even add value to themselves, I'm now 80% in agreement that marriage is one of the greatest achievement for a woman, maybe in Nigeria.

Women have that thing called biological clock ticking fast.Did you know that big secret?

TFLASHOGEE:
Looks comfy

Nope ,it looks foolish.
A poor man in Makoko or Ajegunle can have better night sleep than insomnia afflicted CR7 in his expensive mattress.

BluntTheApostle:
These cars are still foreign cars.

How are they different from when we had Peugeot and Volkswagen assembling plants in Nigeria?

There is not one part of the cars that Innoson manufactured himself, not even the tyres or the number plates.

We need to start manufacturing cars. We have been assembling cars since the 70s. Nothing new!!!

This is very true ,Innoson is a Chinese cars disguised as Nigerian made cars.

Its like Liberia which likes to boast of having a large fleet of commercial ships when in fact they're foreign owned but registered in Liberia just for lower tax purposes.

VEHINTOLAR:
Op,they will come for your head now even though you're spot on !

Nope the OP is wrong and way off the mark. This is what is called "tunnel vision"

Lastmankc:
Great sense indeed.All wierd news in the world is always from Kenya.

Just like the kidnap
for ritual body parts is epidemic in Nigeria...amongst other things.

Prince001:
Who dey fool who? Made in China car that are assembled in Naija! Anyway in Business lies are allowed!!!!

So you mean to say Innoson vehicles are re-badged Chinese brands? Where's originality and self made homegrown production?

Icouldhave:
I just can't help myself, right since I was a little kid. I get jealous easily.

I want everything to be just me alone, I want to be the one to have money then give it out to people.

I hate it when people gives me money, it anolds me, makes me feel less.


Please how do I contain this attitude of mine.


Ps

I don't do bad.

Neither do I do evil.

I just want to be the one running everything in my family or any place I find myself.

I want to be the number one guy


I want to be the giver always

But you can't be two opposing things at the same time .Obviously it can't be "just me alone" and then you "wanna be the giver"....that says you care about others.

Africa is really very poor.

The best in Africa is Nigeria with about $500b.

Tesla is the 5th biggest company in US with a capitalization of $1.05T which means it is 2x the GDP of the best Africa has to offer.

Even Google ($1.97 Trillion) as a company is worth more than the top 10 biggest economy ($1.925 Trillion) in Africa. SMH.

So the net worth of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos equal to the GDP of Nigeria (the biggest economy in Africa).

/

What did you expect of a continent big on consumption but not production? What did you expect when raw material exports is the norm across the board? What did you expect of a continent where timeliness & deadlines are never given respect? What did you expect of a continent where mass disorder is the norm? What did you expect in a continent where public office = self enrichment? Africa is still poor and will stay poor because we lack seriousness in a whole lot of facets of life ,unfortunately.Nothing good comes without struggle and the few examples above depict a place where people like a laid back approach yet expect big rewards.

meobizy:
YouTube does the same nowadays. All I need is data and a list of travel videos. My world view expands while I get entertained.

You know photos,movies & TV did the same decades ago before the invention of internet? Nothing ,and i mean nothing zero quite equals the experience of being in far flung places in person either visiting or living there.
So please THINK AGAIN.

TeamLeader:
This can never happened in Nigeria

Explain why is can't happen? Where are all those Christians who fill Nigeria's megachurches ? Where's the love that Christ teaches?

lacasera14:
This year alone and amid the pandemic last year, a lot of Nigerians fled the country to better their lives in the West. Begs the question, is traveling abroad an achievement and does it mean that the person has made it? I mean if you look at all it takes to leave this country especially to Europe and the Americas. Can it be considered a success?

Going abroad is a success in itself coz it broadens your mind,gives you whole new perspectives and enriches you culturally.

They say a kid who never leaves their house thinks its only his mother is a great cook.

Nigeria is bound to overtake some of them on the list in a few decades. In the next 20-25yrs Nigeria will be ahead of USA in population.

The only people who 'd regret going abroad with their spouse = the cheating type.

I rest my case.

creativedammy:
First of all, if you’re out there, and you’re going through bad times, its your turn, please go through it like a warrior.. better days ahead. I’ve warned you!

airminem:
Hisbah terrorist should leave other Non-muslim Nigerians alone

Why not divide the country into two new republics? One = southern n Christian ,the other would be Islamic norther Nigeria.

clockwisereport:
Or Kenya

Please stfu .

Cousin9999:
Why would anyone pay attention to what an American oyinbo has to say about life in Africa? You can't be serious.

Because Americans have made it (good life for their people) and Africa hasn't even started yet.You wanna listen to failure or listen to success?

tensazangetsu20:
this is so funny seeing that Africans are the poorest people in the world

There's millions of Lebanese,Pakistanis,Indians,Chinese ,Europeans,Bangladeshis migrating into Africa -these people see opportunities. You on the other hand you just see poverty.Your brainwashing is really serious.
