It is only in lagos where price of land is confirmed to rise and at a geometric progression because of bubble, speculation and development.

Go to most other states and price of land will remain static for decades.

One new oga from obodo oyibo had the bright idea of selling off sites to raise money.one lag site was x10 the value of all the other sites nationwide combined

The guy has been thinking all sites value matched the monetary value of the lag site

Exactly, and that increase would be by at least 20% every three years. My last increase was by almost 30%.

There's some economics to building a house, but I think generally, it depends on your unique situation. While in our parents' generation (heck even the good old days of 2013-2015), building a house was a pretty reasonable step (more stable jobs and reduced inflation), it's not the same today with less stable jobs, galloping inflation, and way more people braving entrepreneurship, which requires a decent cash flow ( a house generally ties up capital).

My rent has not changed in 6 years. Unlikely it will change in the next four years except I move out.

Lets even assume my rent doubles, I'm still looking at 25-30 years. Still not worth it.

GloriousGbola:
a lot of financial advise people throw around does not make sense.

like people who go and build house in ikorodu so they can avoid paying rent and then leave house 4am every morning to beat traffic.

the car is the most annoying. i think it comes down to the mentality of nigerians - we buy things not for function/purpose but as status symbols. so rather than think of a car as a tool that allows you to move around faster , it is looked at as a status accessory.

Theflint1:
Hehehehe, I see the statement laff, nothing screams BIG MAN like building a house in this economy.

whicj camry dem deg buy for 5m

iamoyindamola:
To get a good car in today nigeria you will be needing from 5m
Are you saying with 5m you can't buy land and build 2 bedroom bungalow with it?

iamoyindamola:
Car is a luxury why not change the car to a house that is your own
Not paying house rent is a better peace of mind than owning a car you will surely be spending on

Itsrm:
No, I disagree. It's because they are no longer reliant on getting new bank accounts as they used do.

I remember when it used to be a thing to celebrate bankers who bring in accounts with huge money to the bank. They will send a mail and copy all staff nationwide.

These days, they no longer do it.

I know that once ATM eliminates Inter this conversation is going to start. The thing is that you guys misunderstood jod.era and what he had in mind. Porto have a good attack but you can't compare it to that of Inter, an Inter team that have scored 70 Seria A goals this season, do you need to see how many matches that they've won by 3 or 4 goals difference?, No be only Porto Sabi beat person by 5 goals. The fact that they met resistance from a well organized defense doesn't take away their record. I don't watch the Portuguese league but I have seen Inter play this season countless time to know what I'm saying. Checking their goal record and statistics can easily end this argument but what do I know?.

You can't even leak sensitive information like this
These guys are just stupid by default, true or false this kind information is very risky
Everyone knows the terrorists don't value their own lives

The days when bankers were doing real banking. When last did anyone beg you to open an account with them?

Now they just sit back and make easy money.

GloriousGbola:
People were not meeting target, oga at the top sent general warning email and someone forwarded it out of the company and it went viral

I read that AIG took the public beating then hired some forensics guys to track down who sent out the email.

Guess who's back, back again. AIG. Tell your friends.

This chieftain saying Obasanjo and Jonathan are Igbos… I give up

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4eFqcMMD1q/?igsh=eGJmaWRhd29peWpi

Adefuye had in an interview with a national daily said among other things, “Some people may argue that what about Obasanjo? Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man. He is an Igbo man from the South-East. His father was from Anambra while his mother was a Yoruba woman. And that was why during his tenure, he completely ignored the South-West. For example, throughout his eight years, he did nothing on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.”

Some Yoruba leaders had in 2007 also alleged that Obasanjo’s biological father was not a Yoruba man.

According to them, his father was Onyekwelu from Onitsha in Anambra State and so, his reign as President between 1999 and 2007 should be viewed as an Igbo reign.

But Obasanjo in the 675-page book described himself as a thorough-bred Yoruba man.

He said, “To be a Nigerian, I have to be born somewhere in Nigeria or be of Nigeria parentage or one must naturalise. If the other can hide their identity, I cannot, because my two parents were from Owu in Abeokuta. And you cannot be more Yoruba than an Owu man as the first child and daughter of Oduduwa, the father of Yorubas was the mother of all Owus. What is more, I bear Owu tribal marks. And better or worse still, I speak English with my Owu dialect.

“I have always maintained and felt proud of my Owuness, Yorubaness and Nigerianess in that order. They are all part of my cherished identity. But I always refused and will always refuse to be constrained, diminished or reduced to the level of Yoruba leadership. Without being immodest, I am a national leader, an African leader and a world leader in my own way.

“If a Yoruba meeting is called on an important issue of concern to the Yorubas and I am invited. I will go but will not sit on the high table unless I joined in convening the meeting. But I would expect that a seat on the high table would be reserved for me if such a meeting is a national meeting.

“There are Yorubas of the mentality that if they cannot permanently rule Nigeria, then Nigeria should be broken up in the euphemism of confederacy. They would rather be rulers in hell, if they cannot be rulers in heaven. They are mainly those who see themselves as heirs apparent to (Chief Obafemi) Awolowo. I neither share their philosophy nor their mindset. Some of them contributed to putting Bola Tinubu in power and in spite of largesse of houses in Victoria Island built for them by Bola; they turned against him when the flow of largesses started to dry up.

“They are the same people who claimed that I denied being a Yoruba man. I am more Yoruba than all of them. The Ijebus among them must be reminded that the Awujale asserted that they are not from Ife, the cradle of Yorubas but from Wadia. Those who are crying more than the bereaved like Olaniwun Ajayi and Femi Okurounmu are self-centered and lack integrity.

“When there was need. In the interest of justices and fairness, to speak or act on behalf of the Yorubas, I have done so but not against overall Nigeria interest or against the interest of any other group for that matter. I have also spoken out or stood up for other groups or communities of the interest of justices and fairness. But on no account will the interest and integrity of Nigeria be sacrificed.”

Obasanjo further said he rejected a request by two senior Yoruba retired soldiers to lead the Western Region out of Nigeria, which would be similar to what the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu tried to do for the South-East and failed.

“In the confusion of the post second coup in 1966 and early 1967, I joined the senior Yoruba officers in the military to present our positions to Yakubu Gowon, in the interest of the nation and of the West. When, during the Abacha era and before I was arrested, two senior retired Yoruba officers, a Navy and Army officers called on me at my farm to lead the West out of Nigeria, I did not take it kindly with their request.”

“I said, “God’s judgment in me if I ever do what will be swift and decisive; He would ask those who died as a result of my fighting for the unification of Nigeria to line up and hold one hand and those that will die fighting for the West to secede from Nigeria to line up and hold the other hand and pull me until I will be cut into two.”

There are jokes you can make with your guy friends but you cannot make with females no matter how close you are

You can call your guy friends "werrey come here", You don't talk to women like that. It wont come out well

On that show though I like it, they sometimes get personal and into personal jokes, its all fun if na only men dey there with with women, there are some social norms that you shouldn't cross. You can say "Thierry you dey intentionally comot shirt to seduce girls, Abi where were you last night you carry woman go house"

Emman08:
As in ehn. Someone who didn't vote for you can suspend you. Meanwhile they made the laws almost impossible for the actual constituents to recall the senators THEY voted. Democracy indeed
