N50 N100 and N200 are becoming less common...... ATMS dispense only N1k and N500 and these notes are now more in circulation.

Nigeria will get worse than Zimbabwe at this rate.

Watch as everything will now be priced at N1000 and N500 multiples.

N2000 note is near.

Na so. Delude yourself. So application process would rip ones account of money abi

A lot of the government schemes require you to pay N10k (USD25) for training

kingxsamz:
In 2020, and this is what you're praising your president for.
A neat train. When the country is in shambles.
You people love mediocrity so much.

Black ppl can't run or maintain any civilised country.....

UDUJ:
Trust Nigeria and zero maintenance culture. Just give it only 1 month of operation you wouldn't be able to enter those toilets.

Blacks are cursed spiritually...... they can't maintain a train and they can't maintain any country....

Badabada:
One of the problems we have as a country is maintenance culture.

Come back after 2years to give us report of you using same service.

It's a black thing....

laiperi:
Nigerians know so much about other places, telling them about your personal experiences can get you lynched.

Keep on masturbating about foreign land instead staying and fixing what is wrong with your villages.

After fucckking up Nigeria, you are looking for any land to fyck up too. No wonder they will not let you in or deport you for any or no reason.

Well said.

samsard:
Your comment reeks of low self-esteem. The Chinese have been funding and buying western companies since they climbed the economic ladder! Is that to say that Westerners depend on others or are a failed race?
Would you have funded them if they came to you?

China developed itself independently. Today nigeria/ Africa is relying on China to develop it....

#1. The Silence is Deafening!
When I first arrived in the West, I was so taken aback by how quiet everywhere was. On the way out of the airport, I looked around in awe as the pristine clean roads were not littered with with hawkers, jampacked cars , numerous pedestrians and the blaring sounds of horns! - although, mega-cities like New York is an exception to the rule. 

#2. Your Neighbours & The Police: You Can Co-exist with Neighbours for Years Without Ever Saying a Word to Each Other.
In the average neighbourhood, you can't make noise anyhow. Everyone minds their business. ... The most you will get out of your neighbors is an occasional nod and smile.
Although this doesn't deter them from watching your every move through their windows... they won't hesitate to call the cops/snitch on you at any slight opportunity. Make noise and fight with your spouse anyhow and you will find police knocking at your door.

#3 Raising kids in a Predominantly Black Neighbourhood Can Spell Doom.
Bullying is incessant in these communities. Gang culture, crime, violence  etc..

#4. Your Child(ren) can be Taken from You.
This almost happened to a close friend of mine whose nosy neighbour called  child services on her because she heard her baby crying for a lengthy period of time. And the police actually showed up to her house to carry out a thorough investigation on the living conditions of the baby.. Thank God nothing incriminating was found..
Moral of the story: be careful with how you care for/discipline your kids when living abroad.

#5. Nigerian Churches (most RCCG branches) are Epicenters for Drama & Toxicity.
Avoid! Just Avoid!

#6. Black (especially Nigerian women) are at the Bottom of the Food Chain; be it at the Workplace or on the Dating Scene.
Young black guys will rather date white or mixed race girls.. (may not be true for all) but my observation living in London.
...and at work, we have to work twice as hard to be respected and valued. The biggest oppressor of a black woman at work is a white woman (and in some cases, your fellow blacks).. but not a white man surprisingly. 

#7. You will Happily Miss Home from Afar and be so Much More Invested in the Affairs of Nigeria than Those Living in Nigeria.

Need I say more?

#8.You May Gain Weight.
Why??
Kebabs & Pizzas
Chicken and chips.
Cheap and irresistibly delicious chinese takeaways
Fish & chips
Burgers,
TGI Fridays & Nandos

Important Note: This is a light hearted post and just a snippet of my experience so far living abroad.. it isn't perfect here, but I'd choose this over and over again than my experiences living in Nigeria.

Your point number 3 confirms blacks are the same everywhere - all their neighbourhoods are backward....or will Buhari be blamed for US black communities too?

ethicallyright:
That's the point I'm driving at and the other guy is talking trash. Why are they no VC firms in Nigeria?
Answer: It's because the rich do not want to move others into their class.

Exactly - Nigerian culture is like a jungle - the rich actively prevent others from moving into their class.....

Fmghewzy:
Chaiii see foolishness,so if Britain has Minister for Africa,is Africa one country.
Must you always want to be slaves to the whites.

Moreover what happens to the black in the Jamaica,Haiti, Trinidad or what jaggons are you saying

They decided to have just minister for Africa because they realized it's a failed continent with same set of problems and little by way of progress..... so probably better to just have one minister for Africa and save money.. ..

One day minister for Africa should ask African leaders to respect themselves and seek medical treatment in their own continent.

Fmghewzy:
You are obviously too ignorant to see anything, you don't read ,you know nothing.
You just open your mouth to spill trash
So cause Nigeria is fuvking up means all other countries are doing the same.

You talk about Africa like it is only one country.slowpoke.

I ask you again what has been your contribution to the black race other than self hate,and white asslicking.

Africa is one country of the blacks. UK has minister for Africa not minister for individual African countries.....

Fmghewzy:
Mad fool what have you ever done to help the black race,yet you call it a failed race.
Don't spread your failure to all of us to
Weyrey buruku.

If it's not a failed race then let African leaders stop going for medical treatment in Europe and let African banks raise their own capital without eurobonds and similar and finally let African businesses not become overdepenent on new york based funding.

Sanchez01:
Apparently, you know nothing of the tech world. Just because you have billionaire opportunists in Nigeria doesn't mean they will always be ready to help in sectors that they do not understand. Adenuga's problem is more about getting better market share in the telecoms industry and not just 'throwing away' money to tech startups. This is where ANGEL INVESTORS COME IN. The likes of Adenuga, Abdulsamad Rabiu and Dangote combined won't understand zilch if you go to them for tech seed funding because the tech industry is way beyond their understanding. They know technology is crucial in today's world but might just not necessarily understand why your idea is needed right now. I am not calling them dumb but they are purely business with hands-on production mindset.

The money invested isn't up to one million Dollars because IT IS A PRE-SEED FUNDING, which I suspect you don't understand or know its meaning or purpose. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM SEED FUNDING, which is usually greater sums.

Here's what to know: there is a ready market of investors/angel investors looking to invest in startup techs, particularly in Africa because it is untapped, raw and still unexplored. These guys are tech guys themselves who have walked the walk in the past. They have the money to play with; you have the idea, and instead of grovel at the feet of a Dangote who won't be able to see you or won't even give ears to your ideas, the investors' market provide the haven without stress.

Listen, if a startup tech company requires $50 million in its funding rounds (pre-seed or seed) and run up to Series A,B or C, investors or angel investors will still splash monies into the rounds, not because they don't have anything to do with their monies but because their understanding of tech is very much different from yours or mine and even that of Adenuga who consumes APIs.

There are tech startup crowd funding platforms almost everywhere now which makes it very easy to get monies to effectively run your tech startup.

Africans and Nigerians are typically clout animals. If they were to step in at all, you'll likely be seeing them make the announcement themselves on their social media pages.

See it this way, if you genuinely need a huge money for a cause, health, travel or whatever, you do not attempt to reach Dangote or Adenuga; you use a crowd funding platform such as Gofundme. That is what tech guys do. In this case, they can always come back for more. We call this FUNDING ROUNDS. Onepipe has taken its first step and it will eventually take up the seed funding step later on.

I understand why people believe African startups run to whites or Western investors. It is very much easy to criticise a startup or the African mindset when you haven't walked one.

Africa being raw and unexplored isn't good news because it shows Africans appears not to have the intellect to explore it and is waiting for white man or white mans money

[quote author= post=97373968]Deep and true words!

Pessimistic souls abound in our land you know?!

When there’s bad news, the media must report it to Nigerians.
But when there’s good news to cheer the people up, the media must also report it.

“But I have never seen anyone enjoy, relish and savour with glee, the reporting of bad news the way it’s done on some social media platforms and some evil news agencies. [/quote]Why has the black race not created any venture capital firms that funds African businesses. It speaks of systemic failure when you have to leave Africa and go to white mans land to raise funds..... if it was an isolated case we can say no problem....but it's becoming the trend now just as Nigerians and other black ppl are endlessly migrating to oyinbo countries and African leaders shamelessly seek treatment in oyinbo land and have called Chinese to build rail. Can't black people do anything themselves? What a shame....

Negros always depending on others.... raising money from New York because you can't govern yourselves - the money could not be gotten from African venture firms because it's a failed race

cybluesky:
U guys even manage to squeeze in tribalsim into diaspora politcs,its a shame Africans especially the self acclaimed giants choose to see life from a keyhole perspective...look at a man of african descent given a political office in a place far away from his roots...no discrimination,no fights,no local govt of origin,no hard feelings,no bile...I see my nairalanders celebrating this and I imagine the heads that would roll if we replicate this in our dear continent...we blacks are small minded still.
Before u come for me just know that this is not self hate but pure and sincere honesty coupled with the ability to self evaluate and self criticize wherever and whenever its necessary.
NAMASTE!!!

Thank you for being one of those who see and speak the truth....

Blacks are actual still backward in their culture and reasoning - which explains why THERE IS NO DEVELOPED BLACK MAJORITY COUNTRY to date.. ..

Once America's black population exceeds 50% America will become Nigeria.

This isn't racism it's race realism..... that's why trump was trying to reduce (not stop) blavk immigration.

Blacks are still great in their own way though like in sports and a few intellectuals here and there.

olisaEze:
Rubbish reason. Oga you were elected to serve the American public as an American and not as an African representative. The agbada just makes you look stupid in a country with a civilized democracy, a far cry from what Africa has exhibited since the colonialists left them to themselves.

And makes him look like a looter too.... that's what looters wear....

Draslo:
Not a very smart move considering even black people in America disdain actual Africans. Just wear their suit instead of rubbing your culture all over their faces. Just imagine it was an Indian wearing the Dhoti. Or a Chinese or Kenyan wearing their traditional clothing to an inaguration for a public office outside their borders, wouldn't he seem very ridiculous to you?


Unless it is an international body such as IMF, WHO, FIFA etc, it makes absolutely no sense

Exactly.... not that there is any great African country anyway.....

OBAGADAFFI:
MANSARD has no longer attractive above N1

Where is the market maker for MANSARD - why are they not providing ask (sell) prices during trading.

megawealth01:
I have been loading WAPIC and CHAMS for the past two weeks at my own defined good price... I am now fully loaded in MANSARD, CHAMS and WAPIC... I hope for the best... Please don't preach to me ooooo... Na better GAMBLE to me

Penny stocks are the best.... you are a wise person....

megawealth01:
Please explain this... I loaded a lot @ below #1

I've been trying to buy for past 2 days but no one want to sell...

ssogundele:
I’m just tired of any Nigerian organization. There only after cashing out on the poor masses. Got no energy for no more

It's because blacks appear inferior.... once there is foreign involvement, things stabilize.

dre11:
While Nigerians lament increased electricity tariff, regulatory agency’s officials share billions as perks

Since its establishment, the electricity regulator, NERC, has been mired in financial scandals.


https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/432203-exclusive-while-nigerians-lament-increased-electricity-tariff-regulatory-agencys-officials-share-billions-as-perks.

Blacks are at it again. Cursed ppl.

subcbouy:
Poverty, illiteracy, ego........

Lots of ego and power tussles.....

Ghostmode2two:
Suddenly the life of fellow human has devalued to the extent that common party rice is worth more than human life. In this country people just get angry over little and trivia issues. No love at all! I feel like crying upon reading this piece of news.

You hit the nail on the head - it's a black thing.... black people take things too personally (get angry easily) and are statistically speaking emotionally incompetent. Every little thing is an "insult". Heaven forbid.

CodeTemplar:
Lol. . . Churches are offering to help fix roads, private owned companies too want to fix roads, and now marketers too want to fix refineries but govt will hardly agree to it.

Because the blacks are ego centric..... more so than other races... it's not about work and results in Nigeria - it's about ego and face saving. Yuk!

Jashub:
The countries you mentioned are developed countries were poverty is almost nonexistent. So definitely, a lot of people over there do not need to tell lies to get by.

Where are you? I'm at Maitama (but he is actually at Kubwa)... this has nothing to do with poverty.

Or I'm there but the person is not there.

After sojounrnng through Nigeria, UK, Canada and the United States and China - and checking the cultures of all these countries - only Nigeria has the highest inhabitants of pathological and chronic liars and lying is part of the culture. Even in China and UK that are largely secular countries - ppl are more honest than Nigeria that boasts so many churches....

Could this liar and shady culture be another evidence of the curse of Noah upon Canaan/Ham i.e. Africans who have not accepted Jesus as saviour??

obonujoker:
Lol.

All curses are cancelled by the blood of Jesus Christ shed at the cross of Calvary..."it is finished"- John 19:30.

1 Cor 5:17,"if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature,old things are passed away, and everything becomes new"

Yes for those blacks that believe in Jesus that curse from Noah is no more....

But for the rest of the inhabitants of the land they are still cursed both under Adam and from Noah

Tonyekanem:
A fisherman goes to a spot where he can find the type of fish he wants to catch. He selects the bait and casts his line into the water. He waits patiently, and when the fish bites, he snaps the hook into the fish’s jaw and reels in his catch.

 In a similar way, people can be caught. For example, the Israelites had almost reached the Promised Land when they camped on the Plains of Moab. The king of Moab promised to give a man named Balaam a lot of money if he would bring a curse on Israel. Eventually, Balaam found a way to make the Israelites bring a curse on themselves. He carefully chose the bait. He sent young Moabite women into the Israelite camp to seduce the men.​—Numbers 22:1-7; 31:15, 16; Revelation 2:14.
 Did Balaam’s bait work? Yes. Thousands of Israelite men committed “sexual immorality with  the daughters of Moab.” They also began to worship false gods, including a disgusting sex god, the Baal of Peor. As a result, 24,000 Israelites died right at the border of the Promised Land.​—Numbers 25:1-9.

Why did so many Israelites fall for Balaam’s plan? They were thinking only of their own selfish pleasure, and they forgot all that God had done for them. The Israelites had many reasons to be loyal to God. He had freed them from slavery in Egypt, fed them in the wilderness, and brought them safely to the border of the Promised Land. (Hebrews 3:12) Still, they were seduced by sexual immorality. The apostle Paul wrote: “Neither let us practice sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, only to fall.”​—1 Corinthians 1
 Today, we are living in the last days and the promised God's kingdom is very close. So in a way, we are like the Israelites at the border of the Promised Land. (1 Corinthians 10:11) The world we live in today is even more obsessed with sex than the Moabites were. This obsession can easily affect God’s people. In fact, the bait that the Devil uses most effectively is sexual immorality.​—Numbers 25:6, 14;2 Corinthians 2:11; Jude 4.

We need to examine ourselves to know our preference __ to enjoy some selfish pleasure that will last only a short time, or live forever in happiness in the  God's kingdom?’ If we wish to live forever in the promised God's kingdom we must resist Satan's bait and “Flee from sexual immorality”—1 Corinthians 6:18.

I submit that lust to some extent is biological in that it assists in mating and breeding new humans. Without lust, sexual activity will reduce.

mansakhalifa:
Oh no...

Not this deluded fruitcake again...

You'll get well soon, man.

Come to think of it, you might be suffering from something really huge up there in your belfry.

Seek urgent medical help lest I see you doing something silly pretty soon.

Not that I f**king care.

Fuckin cursed negro - which white country are you in?? UK Canada Australia??

Where do you go on holiday?

Who do you call to build rail infrastructure in Nigeria? China.

Have you ever been to Europe?? Have you compared the culture of the Europeans to the sick culture in Nigeria??

It's Nigerians that are sick.... I only regret I was born in Nigeria. Soon i will be back in Europe.. .. once I'm back in Europe, I will stop posting here on the sickness of the blacks.

Meanwhile there is no developed black majority country.

Therefore, Ham is the son of Canaan?

Whether ham is the son of Canaan or vice versa- the theory still stands
