🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣70 % of Nigeria population don't what your talk about
I do understand. The thought of considering myself worth minimum wage of ₦70k boggles my mind. I can just about hear ma asking me if that's all I'm worth after her huge investment in me.

But I guess the schooling she bought for me was not scam, or she didn't allow it to be. She loved her koboko way too much to not use it whenever I chose to waste my school fees we struggled to work to pay.

Nigeria is the highest producer of yam in the world .
So ,please ,excuse us on this if we are pissed
I do understand why you are pissed. They pay you little and charge you a lot for your daily bread.

You wouldn't believe this, but Nigeria does not seem to produce, or at least, sell as much yam where I live as Ghana does.

We don't even plant yams in my hometown in Osun State anymore, because before you harvest it, someone will come and harvest it for themselves. And in the North of Nigeria, cattle herders have chased the farmers away completely.

I can just hope we don't start importing yam, or that yam will cost 10k plus.

And you will make that £5 in less than 30mins.
But u can't make 2k in Nigeria in 4hours
On a Nigerian pay of 12 million Naira per annum, which is a million a month and ₦250k a week and ₦50k a day, and ₦6250 and hour, I bet I can make it in 20 minutes in Nigeria.

Not everyone's in Nigeria or where I live is on minimum wage after all.

And you dey add exclamation mark?
What's your minimum pay per hour?

That 2k is the minimum pay per day for a minimum wage worker. Make una try dey ise brain before comparing prices across widely different economies.
I don't think they ask about pay per hour before selling you stuff in the market, or you'd just send a low earner to go get it for you cheaper.

And no, I was not comparing. Just stating a fact.

Perhaps he wants to be the king of Nigeria, or we should adopt China's one party rule.

Some people don't seem to understand that those countries have a system dictated by their history. If Nigeria adopts, say, the Yoruba way of choosing our leaders, one family will rule forever.

There is no true democracy in Agege.
What an ignorant joke.

If Agegeans don't like the APC candidate, they are very free to put democracy into Agege by exercising their democratic right to vote for a different party.

Over at UK. Reporting a gang who bash you to police calling them Pakistania gets you arrested by metro police.
Britain is gone.
AI Overview

The claim that being called "Pakistani" by the police leads to arrest is false. While the Metropolitan Police (Met) can and does arrest individuals based on suspicion of a crime, the ethnicity of an individual is not a factor in determining whether or not an arrest should be made.

Elaboration:
The Met, like other police forces, has arrest powers based on the law.
An arrest is a lawful act, and it's based on the grounds of suspicion of a crime, not someone's ethnicity or nationality.
The idea that being referred to by a nationality is grounds for arrest is not supported by law or police procedures.

I honestly think it's wrong posting these people like this since they haven't been proven to be guilty of these charges in a Court.
Tell that to EFCC. Personally, I'm glad they post these people like this, as it avoids them scamming others. Remember an image of Trump was posted when he was arraigned and before he was prosecuted.

BreconHills:
You frame your sentences like a non yoruba person - a common error - There is no expression like " we yoruba" Yoruba is not just a location it is a civilization. So "The Yoruba.." is more accurate. " The British" "The Romans"

"We yoruba" is trying too hard.
I try hard for folks like you since I am aware your own bias might make you think my comment is from a non Yoruba. Most people would not read "we Yorubas" and come to the conclusion you have arrived at, that I am non yoruba, unless they think I am lying.

"We Yorubas" does not in any way imply a location, and neither does "we British", which we do very often say. Below is an image from BBC so you know I am not the only one who would use such an expression.

For 15years running yet you can't stop hating Lagos state, Tinubu and APC but your hypocrisy can collect the appointments and positions from the same people you hate. Can you show us any non-ibo Vice Chairman in the SE talk less of 15 consecutive years.
Can you show me anywhere in SE where we Yoruba boku like Igbo boku for Lagos? Because, if we have the numbers in Igbo land, we would definitely be represented, unless we are undemocratic and refuse to vote such that we are considered inconsequential and irrelevant there.

If you want them to compete together on the same field then why do we need a separate category for females

Maybe all female sporting categories should be erased
In boxing too?

Not all sports are for compete together I don't think. Even football might not qualify for compete together on the same field.

So, they can play and perhaps train together, but you draw the line at them competing together?

I am a Formula One fan, where women and men compete together. The only issue is finding women who can compete with men. They are not barred however.

Why do you think the UK and EU like US are imposing tariffs on China then?
One thing I know about UK is we wouldn't last long if we impose tariffs on China. Just think. We brexited, which was a sort of imposition of tariffs on Europe, and now we want to tariff China too? Is that because we think we can survive on trade with America and India?

China seems to be the only one investing outside their own country these days, and we need their foreign direct investment, and if this government don' t understand that we'd replace them with someone who does.

As for US? Gerrymandering, I think,

The Enabling Act of 1933 (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz, officially titled Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich lit. 'Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich'),[1] was a law that gave the German Cabinet—most importantly, the Chancellor, Adolf Hitler—the power to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the Reichstag or President Paul von Hindenburg. By allowing the Chancellor to override the checks and balances in the constitution, the Enabling Act was a pivotal step in the transition from the democratic Weimar Republic to the totalitarian dictatorship of Nazi Germany.

Yeah I agree with you, but they will be okay with it for as long as the policy will reduce immigrants from third world countries
They'll be okay with it only until they find no one to wipe their bums and cure their ailments and they die early, or drive the buses and trains to get them to work on time, or find dedicated staff to do their other jobs and fill their houses their own people don't want to live in. This Starmer will after all result in deflation and gdp drop, though I bet you before then we'd just open up to cheap labour from Europe.

No matter how long it takes, the more important thing is to realize how as a leader you are making your country vulnerable in national security, costing your people employment by sending jobs abroad.
The historical average unemployment rate (January 1948-September 2020) is 5.8%, and no one was accusing anyone of "costing your people employment by sending jobs abroad" then apart from perhaps a brief period of moaning about Japan.

The USA unemployment rate has risen since hitting a 50-year low of 3.4% in April 2023. Since May 2024, the unemployment rate has stayed between 4% and 4.2%. Are you sure they want to work at the jobs that might be created?

As for national security, I can't help feel that problem was solved decades ago, but the bogey man must exist. China don't seem to have that worry, odd enough, and would gladly buy Nvidia and Intel if they could.

Seriously, America seems like a sports team that sends henchmen to cripple their opponent's star player so they may win. They can't compete so they gerrymander the rules to their advantage, and expect the whole world to play their way. I can't help wonder how long some might before more don't, since America is not the only nation that needs to stop "costing your people employment by sending jobs abroad".
