Any country you see Muslims population growing,run from that country!!!

Germany, France, UK, Netherlands etc used to have almost zero Muslim population. Why did they let them in in the first place?

If they needed cheap labour, they could have given Christians from Africa, Asia, and South America work permits, or even Buddhists. Why allow people whose religion would make it impossible for them to integrate to come into your country.

I don't understand this.

Wow!

What an innovation
I think infinix is better than tecNO

I thought They are owned by same company.

Instead of being happy for the young man, some witches and wizards above are already crying. Yusuf is not your village people that have been holding down your destinies since 1900

Happy for Yusuf Buhari? God publish you and him.

His father has made life unbearable for Nigerians, and you want us to be happy for him.

It was made compulsory in the 1999 Constitution.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but permit me to go ahead regardless.

How I end up washing people's poo as a graduate with 2:1.

Growing up, I used to admire graduates a lot especially the way they do things, conduct themselves and the rest. You see them living in a good house and in the morning, they dress up properly, go to work and return in the evening. Non-graduates of course used to jealous graduates a lot as it were. Fast forward to today, the table has sharply turned 360°. Now, graduates have not only been ridicule but reduced almost to nothing. Non-graduates who learnt one skill or the other are the ones kicking money bags to the bank.

Well, I finished university 3 years ago and couldn't find a job despite aggressive job hunting due to obvious reasons. Being the first in the family, the pressure was/is already much on me. The aged parents have tried within their powers thinking the best they could do for me was training me to acquire a university degree but in today's Nigeria, it's glaringly not enough.

Let me not bother you all with long story but I don't see myself continuing with this kind of life any longer because it's not what I envisaged.

According to the heading, I graduated with second class upper division which of course is a good grade considered very employable according to society standard and labour market. Despite this, I searched for job in every nook and cranny I could but to no avail. Everyday I have to eat food, rent expiring, bills piling up, parents looking up to me and younger ones who are already in school every now and then would call and ask for assistance and which I didn't have. Out of no option, I accepted an offer to work as a laundry man in a hotel for 15k/month. That's how I thought I have at least got something doing. Frankly speaking, I didn't have an in depth knowledge of the job description.

Obviously, this would be a long story but let try and shorten it. Do you know that I have drained so much from my body in the course of this work physically and health wise? Practically, I wash between15-25 bedsheets/duvets everyday as the hotel does not have washing machine....parked since it got spoilt. Consequently, my pams have developed thick skin which is now very tough, rough and scratchy.

However, the above might not just be my only anger. More annoying is that, some guests are so inhumane. Is it because you paid money to lodge in the place that's why you believe you have to do wickedness? Why I'm writing this is because of the very one that happened few days ago. Actually that wasn't the first time. It's been happening over and over before. Could you believe a guest used the hotel bedsheets and defecated on it, folded it and kept it and checked out. As a laundry man, of course it landed on me and I was the one who washed the poo off. Oh God! Like I said, that wasn't the first time although other ones only used the bedsheets to clean their buttocks (for whatever reasons because I believe tissue paper is always there) after defecating but this particular guest 'pooed' fully inside the bedsheets, folded it and dropped it for whoever to come carry it and wash. I'm not writing fiction here please. This is 100% real of what I'm going through in the supposed 15k/month job. How wicked? When toilet was there?

Moving forward, equally, I can't count the number of times I have washed menstrual blood from bedsheets. These men bring even women who are on menses to sleep with them and end up pouring menstrual blood all over the bedsheets and I would be the one to wash it. God why?

Most annoying of all is, the management pays salary on the 26th of the following month. How inhumane some people can be? In other words, I have to work 2 months to get 1 month salary or simply put, 15/2=7500. In reality, that is the salary I'm receiving as a graduate. When I picked up the job, my plan was to raise up to 50k within the shortest possible time and move to something else, but unfortunately, I don't even know what I'm doing now. I have been in the job for 6 months now with nothing to show for it. This is why I said I can't continue with the present condition. The situation is beyond the one people say 'hold unto it. At all at all, na him bad pass". This one is worst than "at all at all".

Before I end it, just a few questions. Dear Nigerians with good job, abeg where una dey see diz good job after graduation? Abeg where una dey see money do business after school? Where una dey see money chop food and live life? Me still dey very hungry as I'm typing this. Abeg na beg I beg una, make una put me on abeg. Make una be my God father/mother. I don taya for this life. I be una brother o. Help me and help the society by extension. Thank you.

Poster, I feel your pain. I am a teacher and I teach three subjects: JSS 1 to SS 3, Computer, JSS 3 to SS 3, Civic; SS I to 3, Government.

I am just being used. The salary is meagre and I want to resign and look for a better job. When I tell my unemployed friends about my wish to resign, they tell me to appeal to the proprietress of the school to employ them in my place. This makes me feel I should be appreciative of having a job. I really want to resign but I don't know how soon I'd land another job. This is not the right time to be unemployed for long.

Something happened in my school that got me upset. The teachers organized an extramural lesson for the students and it was agreed that the money would be shared after the end of term exams. The money was shared on Wednesday and I was given only 4k. I wasn't even around when they shared it. They gave a colleague the money to give me. Another colleague told me the money is usually above 6k, so I confronted them. The flimsy reason they gave me was that I was employed two weeks after the term had begun, so they felt I shouldn't share the money equally with them. I was pissed. Yes, I was employed two weeks after the term had begun, but the lesson started in the third week and the timetable was drafted in my presence. I told them this and they insisted that that's how it's done everywhere.

So the extramural lesson started in the third week, and I was around when it started, but I didn't deserve to be paid what I worked for.

This country sucks. People who decide to earn an honest living are usually always at the bottom. Life is so HARD. Sometimes I wish I was a lady. I'd have sold my body to raise funds for business.

CountDracula:
Student stabs a man to death, University says shes still our daughter though we condemn her actions. Is this what human life is worth now? So little value, as if she stole an iPhone. Ah i wonder what human life will be worth in the next 20years

You want them to jump to conclusion and condemn her when she hasn't been tried?

What if she really acted in self-defense? So you condemn someone for acting in self-defense?

Let her be tried and let an impartial judge pronounce judgment, then the university can have grounds to act.

Men, be faithful to your wives, especially when you have good women as wives.

hedonido:
That's not even an accurate comparison. Out of the so-called $2.1 billion USD budgeted, at least $1.5 billion would go to private pockets of corrupt military fat cats, politicians and Middle Men. Whatever is left is what you should compare to anything else.

Very true.

crossfm:
Where are the Israel are overrated crew please?.

They will soon flood this place gnashing their teeth's and weeping like nursery school kids.

No peace for terrorists and her unapologetic supporters.

I wonder how someone from Nigeria has the audacity to belittle Isreal and call it overrated. If it's someone from a developed country that says it, I'll understand. Maybe he/she has seen better, but a Nigerian...

LordVoldermort:
Okay interesting, but you know just because Japan 'can' go to war ( for America) doesn't mean it 'will', Japan has been pacifist for over 50 years it can't suddenly become offensive, they might be a good army but they shouldn't be ranked that high

If your security hinges on the security of another country, trust me, you will go to war for that country. Japan knows this. If the US is defeated in a war with China ( very unlikely), it would have to withdraw its forces from Asia. Japan wouldn't want this to happen.

The Japanese people know that the presence of the US military in their country is for their benefit. They won't support their country's involvement in America's wars in the Middle East or any other region, but when it concerns China, only as handful of Japanese wouldn't want their military to help the US against China.

lafuria1:
Yes they are, without USA support,, they are nothing. They are just an extension of USA.

Every year they (Isreal) receive billions of dollars in military support from USA, same with Egypt. Egypt receive lot of military grant from USA reason they are the strongest in Africa

The US gives Isreal 3 billion in military aid. Israel doesn't need this aid. It can do without it. Israel is a rich country.

HigherEd:
Huh I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Israel's airforce is the fourth to fifth best in the world. Matches the French or British airforce. And can infact significantly defeat the Chinese airforce in aerial combat because it has a better fleet of well performing American fighter jets that has been even enhanced by Israeli engineers. Infact the only adversaries that convincingly beat the Israeli airforce is Russia and USA. But mind you, during the war of attrition at Sinai, it did overpower Soviet airforce.

Infact Israel has a better understanding of US made fighter jets lol because it is always
illegally invading and evading Syrian and Iranian airspace and frequently encounters live Russian systems and knows which ones are really a threat unlike US airforce that can only predict by theory.

Remains one of the five countries in the world that can shoot out a satellite from space. And the only country that can shoot a dangerous incoming nuclear powered ICBM even before it reenters Earth's atmosphere with it's Arrow3 system.

Has the best integrated air defense system in the world. Protected at 2500km by Arrow3, Arrow2 at 1500km, David Sling at 250km, Iron Dome at 70km and newly Iron Beam (laser tech to complement iron dome). Lastly, the Barack8 jointly designed with India protects it's shores.

Heard of Heron Drone? The fifth best UAV in the world is the best in the middle East, only Turkey can mildly compete with drone technology.

Heard of it's Merkava tank? They are the only indigenous tank specifically built for the middle East terrain. You don't want to see that sh*t in battle. Israel's enemies mostly use American tanks that are not suitable for that terrain.

Heard of its Air To Surface Missile, the "Delilah" tasked within destroying a nations air defense system before Israel's airforce swarms an airspace. It would take out the best Russian S500,400 and 300.

Israel's JerichoIII surface to air can strike targets as far as Abuja, Capetown, Alaska. Anywhere in the world really. Her land forces are some of the best trained in the world with a large supply of well trained reservists to make for the small numbers.

Her Shateyetet special forces are just as good as US Navy seals or Delta force.

The only average segment of Israeli Military is the Navy. This is because Israel's military doctrine is defensive not offensive. And israels problems can mostly come aerially and from land. Not sea.

Not putting Israel on that makes the list a perfect joke.
Many of you measure Israel's military with her crisis with Gaza. Not knowing it is only handling Hamas with kid gloves. Let Iran directly try nonsense that day you would see premium tears in the middle East.

Israel knows that if it uses excessive force against Hamas, there is going to be a public outcry.

Israel is underrated. They modify American weapon systems and tell the US how well the modifications work.

airminem:
And the total budget for Nigeria of 200mil plus people, is $32 billion . Senator Lawan was right when he said 'Nigeria is poor' but becoz of curruption.

Our defence budget is $2.1 billion USD. A country like the US spends over $700 billion USD. Imagine the difference.

LordVoldermort:
Japan is not even allowed to have an offensive military so how did they get so high?
Pakistan, France, Britain, Israel could have filled that last spot

Former Japanese president, Shinzo Abe, made changes to the constitution so that Japan can come to the aid of an ally who is attacked.

Yeah, Japan has a pacifist constitution, but changes have been made, and it can go to war if it deems it essential for national security.

For instance, if China and the US go to war, I don't expect Japan to be neutral knowing fully well that their national security and their sovereignty over the disputed Senkaku island are tied to US role as the world's sole superpower.

I don't want to believe this is true, but in shithole country like ours, the impossible is possible.

Only on Africa. And it's not as if they don't make money oh.

How was I born in this cursed continent?

Stupid goat. I know people like you who were full of praises for Buhari until his actions and inactions affected them directly and they started singing a different tune.

Your support for the tyrant, El-rufai, will soon hunt you.

So are you saying we are going to be buy like 4 cylinder in a year, 1 per quarter?

Do you read the post properly? Gosh!

emae009:
I thought you were being sarcastic with your first comment. Really? what level of tech are you talking about?

Some people are just unaware of current happenings. China is so technologically advanced yet the US crippled Huawei.

Realtalk20:
Russia and lies

Always chest beating just like China

Why are they so desperate to be noticed by the likes of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland? The royal Navy is no joke o!!

Putin keep calm oo

It's not who throws the first punch that wins a fight o.

we know that when running hit always go for the loudest strong man who is always the weakest one .. Russia and China calm down o. Don't mistake UK and US silence for weakness o

Ariwo Ko nì power o

The Royal Navy is only second to the American navy. They are really good.

Too bahd!

Too many psychiatric patients roaming free in the whiteman's land!

The major problems a black man has got are poverty and greed.

Too bahd!

And you think we don't have psychiatric patients roaming free in Africa. Think again.

ben1daEbiri:
And the US have been spending a bunch of all that funds on research and development with little to nothing to show for it.

Why does the F-35 have different variants? The F-35 is just expensive for nothing...till today,the F-22 that's already aging remains the best fighter get of the US while Russia is already developing Su-57.
MiG-29 is giving the F-35 a run for its money.
Why does Russia have a better ICBM with a relatively lower cost?

Remember how the US boasted about the F-22 stealth capability when it was launched? If the US are better in anything believe me they'll show it off. If Russia have 2/3 of the US military budget no one comes close.

I'll let you wallow in ignorance. The F-35 has different variants because they are tailored for different purposes. A particular variant has short takeoff time and can land like a helicopter. No other country has been able to achieve this feat. No other country has a jet that can land like an helicopter.

So the US spends billions of dollars in research and development with nothing to show for it?

Ignorance is a disease.

The funeral is not for the dead, it's for the living.
When children spend to bury their parents lavishly, it helps them to overcome the grief of losing them. As if at least, they have not been shortchanged on the amount they would have spent on them if they had lived longer. Besides, it's a final goodbye, the grander the better.

It helps descendants to have closure.
Modified
It might also ameliorate the fear of death for the living

You don't know what you are saying. You might think you have made sense, but you haven't.

If there is one thing I hate about the Igbo culture, it is the monetization of everything, from burial to marriage. That's why an Igbo man would do anything legal or illegal to make money. Chimamanda wrote about this.

It's sickening.

What about the little ones who are hacked to death by the President's kinsmen?

Even Hitler had a soft spot for German kids while he murdered Jewish kids.

Quelme:
In conventional war you say. That was exactly the same thought Hitler had before Operation Barbarossa.... Napoleon had the same thought before invading the Russian bear, underestimate Russia at your own peril....

Do you even know what conventional war means? Please, Google it.

Solatium:
You are getting carried away by hollywood movies,modern day war are won on the international waters,the country with the strongest Navy wins it,why do you think they are all racing towards acquiring more aircraft carriers and Naval ships?
Why do you think iran is also making progress towards that direction?
Do you know that China is on the verge of commissioning their first ever aircraft carrier?
Guy you know nothing about conventional war

China wants to commission its first aircraft carrier? Really?

Do you know that the US has 11 advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?

It was recently published that China now has the largest navy in the world. The largest navy doesn't mean the strongest. Gunboats, rescue boats, etc are included in China's navy. That's why the number is up. These won't be advantageous to China in any confrontation with a formidable foe like the US, Japan, etc.

The American military is battle-tested. What do you know about conventional war?

Solatium:
oh yeah,this one dey recite poem,you ryhming what America media have ingrained in your Brain.
Have you checked the Russian might militarily?
How about the or nuclear assets when compared to that of the US?
China has made a considerable efforts in military advancement,the United States did not sit down and just wish them away.
You wey you no know how far dey here dey recite poem.

Russia has a thousand or a few hundred nuclear weapons more than the US, but the US has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the planet. A hundred nuclear weapons or less can destroy the planet. You don't need thousands of them.

In a conventional war, Russia is no match for America.

China has shiny weapons that have not been tested. The fact that they hold military parades every year to display those weapons doesn't mean that they are powerful. I think we tend to forget how powerful America is because it doesn't hold parades to showcase its weapons.

Masterito:
Lol, unfortunately Americans don't advertise weapons like Russia. Americans are still ahead, one of the reasons Russia is advertising. Moreover, Russia doesn't have the economic power to fight but are always ready to defend their land.

America don't really advertise their weapons like the Chinese and Russians, so people tend to forget how powerful she is.

The US military doesn't see the need to display shiny and untested weapons in military parades. They want their foes to test their military might in battle.

Solatium:
And you think they will be so stupid to take on 2 super power at once?
They dear not take up one alone at this time not to talk of two

The US defence budget is triple that of Russia and China combined. Don't get it twisted. America is the world's only superpower.

China is an economic superpower, but a regional military power. Russia is a regional power, but it has the means to project power beyond its region.

America is a global power. It can project power any where in the world.

rawtouch:


they have gone one step ahead of the americans by destroying an old carrier, watch out for the carrier that will replace this one

A carrier won't just stay in one spot and wait for missiles to hit it. A carrier is highly maneuverable, and it is packed with the latest weapons for defensive and offensive attack

Whenever I see any post about a beautiful Nigerian city, the first thing that comes to my mind is road, and I am always right.

Citizens of countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas will never post pictures of roads and call it development. We no get shame for this country oh.

We have normalized bad governance to the point that roads are seen as development. Don't you guys see the skyline of cities in Asia, Europe and America? Don't you guys see pictures of Dubai. Here, flyover and road are our definitions of development. God forbid.

What is wrong with this dude?

As a pastor, he should know about 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

He should learn to mind his business. It's in his place to preach against sin and urge sinners to come to true repentance, but nobody gave him the mandate to compile names.
