Who oba help? In Nigeria of today, local government chairpersons are more mouthed and politically relevant than even some first class kings. Kings have little or no authority over the people. They have been reduced to ceremonial, ritual offering and living historical relic to those who care to study history. This endorsement is not our mandate.

Karen2024: I've always suspected my boyfriend cheating on me with a lady he claim to be his casual friend and I told him I don't like how the girl flirt around him but he said nothing was going on between them.
Yesterday I returned from work and my friend called me on phone and asked me to go to my boyfriend's house immediately. Without hesitation I drove to his house and caught him with a lady on his bed. I'te dumped him. I hope you are not sad at this development. It is painful but you should be grateful and take it as the best gift of 2022. The gift of early revelation. Early enough to drop him immediately! If he cheated before you got married,nothing will stop him after your marriage, ALUTA continua |

And other related things, but I don't offer paid one-on-one coaching. That's good enough. May God continue to bless your efforts and kindness |
Travel › Re: I Have Lived in (or Visited) over 30 Countries. Ask Me Almost Anything (+ Pics) by brainhgeek(m): 1:13pm On Dec 25, 2022 |
ramalot: 1. Read this post: https://www.nairaland.com/7484940/lived-visited-over-30-countries#119222665
2. Addis Ababa is decent enough, kinda like Abuja. The girls look great, especially the Habesha ones. Accommodation on airbnb is expensive, compared to many much better countries, especially for the mediocre quality you get.
You can have a good time there, as long as you stay within Addis. Most other regions are a bit volatile an undeveloped. I did. One last question; do you coach young Nigerians? Even at a price, Nigeria needs a rich human resource like you. |

Travel › Re: I Have Lived in (or Visited) over 30 Countries. Ask Me Almost Anything (+ Pics) by brainhgeek(m): 11:59am On Dec 25, 2022 |
ramalot: I have gained some insights into different societies and cultures, by traveling far and wide. Not as a weekend tourist, but spending extended time in those places, and living an everyday life. Some of that information/experience might be useful to someone here.
The main point of this AMAA is mostly to answer questions of curiosity. Just random things you wonder about more obscure and less popular places (which I prefer to visit). I'm calling it "Ask Me Almost Anything," because I will not be answering certain questions.
Some questions I can't answer:
1. Questions about visa processes: I simply don't know, as I travel visa-free on a US passport, in almost all cases.
2. Questions about "hustling" as a documented or undocumented resident.
I have a web-based business in the US. So I work remotely, wherever I am.
A few things to note:
1. When I say "lived in a country," I don't mean permanently. I use that for countries I spend at least 1 month. I typically spend anywhere from 1- 3 months per country. In a few cases, I've stayed as long as 6, 10 and 12 months in some countries.
2. I travel on a US passport. I keep renewing my Naija passport each time it expires, but I never actually use it. Latest one I got in New York expired some months ago. I only used it once, in visiting Naija.
3. I am less interested in visiting "first world countries," as I find them boring. So most of my travels are to developing countries, but mostly those I still have access to solid accommodation and amenities. I have a business to run, so I can't be without reliable internet.
I find these countries more diverse in culture and lifestyle. First world countries are too structured and predictable.
4. I don't stay in hotels. I rent full Airbnb apartments, as I typically stay in a place for a few months and prefer to feel at home. I only stay in a hotel, if I need to, for 1-2 days while in transit, or something.
5. I've been learning Spanish for a long time, and speak decent enough conversational Spanish, and basic Portuguese.
Some countries I've been (including Nigeria, where I grew up):
Africa: 1. Nigeria 2. Benin Republic 3. Ethiopia (multiple visits) 4. South Africa
Latin America (South, Central, North): 5. Brazil 6. Colombia (multiple visits) 7. Argentina 8. Uruguay 9. Ecuador 10. Chile 11. Costa Rica 12. Peru 13. Panama 14. Dominican Republic 15. Mexico 16. Paraguay
Europe: 17. England (multiple visits) 18. Portugal 19. Netherlands (Amsterdam)
Asia: 20. Thailand (multiple visits) 21. Vietnam 22. Singapore 23. Indonesia 24. Philippines 25. Hong Kong 26. South Korea 27. China 28. Malaysia
North America: 29. USA (where I live) 30. Canada
Bonus (transits only, without bothering to leave the airport) 31. Moscow, Russia - 6 hours 32. Lome, Togo 33. Doha, Qatar
Current location: Buenos Aires, Argentina (Yes, there will be epic street parties if Argentina wins tomorrow!)
All pictures I post on this thread were taken with my phone. None are edited in any way. Inspired! I have two questions though 1. What do you do for a living? 2. My birth country is Nigeria but deep within, I feel like I am Ethiopian. I'd like to know what it's like living in Ethiopia. |

lexy2014: Offpoint and irrelevant grammar. My question is very simple, where can African elephants be found in Africa? I don't know where you are driving at. The images I shared are relatively understandable. I also named countries where these species are found in Africa. Those countries I mentioned in my previous response are not in Asia, Europe or America. Perhaps, you did not read the response

Travel › Re: Have You Seen A Nigerian Elephant?Nigeria Abandoned tourism potential by brainhgeek(m): 8:28pm On Dec 23, 2022 |
lexy2014: That's not what I asked you. Where can African elephants you mentioned be found in Africa? These images, courtesy Wikipedia should help you understand my point. That is the distribution of the Loxodonta genus in Africa. The bush elephant prefers the grassland while the forest elephant roams the tropical rainforest, and are more populated in Cameroon. They stroll into Nigeria and might be spotted in little herds or singly once in a while. Evidences of residential herds in Nigeria is scarce. Habitat loss and habitat fragmentation has driven them beyond human sighting. Lastly, it doesn't matter where they are found; Cameron, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria..... taxonomically, they are still called African bush or African forest elephants. They are not named by the country where they are found.
