i am not knocking anyones hussle. i think if someone is willing to pay for publicity, it is good business for the site owners. its brilliant. i was simply making the observation.

tb joshua has definitely paid the owners of this site for publicity.

[quote author=blogger1.0]i dnt get u bro[/quote]The world will not end but your world will end for a period of time. hence why we are called mortals.

you do know that you have periods of resting between lives lived ? those periods are called 'dying'. your body in hades. your spirit with the lord who giveth it. ECCLESIASTES 12 VS 7

you play with satan and get bitten and then act surprised. st-upid people. hosea 4 vs 6 - my people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge

Lady Dee: My thoughts exactly, that NEVER happens in the UK....
However, yet again I have seen this happen in the USA, where you can actually go to certain areas (like farms) and buy a goat to be slaughterered.....

trust me hun it happens in the UK a lot.

debosky: Funny posts by buzugee my Black-Hebrew brother.

Nothing wrong in sharing goats, chicken, garri, etc. . . .as long as it is done decently - none of that carrying goats/chicken on the head business (was that facetious or actually true?)

Life is all about deciding what you want - buzugee you might abhor the materialism of buying a brand new merc, someone else may feel sharing goats is a 'sacrifice' worthy of making to drive his new merc.

You may be ok eating potatoes, some people may feel they will not survive if they haven't had yam/garri. To each his own.

As for the endless Nigeria vs abroad comparisons, it's also down to the individual - within the scope of opportunities available to him/her. If you value certainty with security, transport, health etc even with an average income, you may choose to live abroad. If you value being in your own country, maximising your opportunities there, not paying taxes, etc, you may choose to live in Nigeria.

There's no size fits all - as for the online ordering of goat meat. . . .I know what I'll be having for dinner tonight.

LOL Oga Debosky i troway salute Sir. Dunno about you but i aint getting together with nobody to share food. i dont care how decently it is done. its just a crazy idea. not trying to sound funny but it is a lil primitive you have to admit.

denzel2009: Guy, you need to shoot your tax accountant. You pay all that and you don't claim them as expenses?

Why do you think people are angry with Phillip Green,Jimmy Carr and Lewis hamilton? They exploited the tax loopholes to the fullest and you are here telling me you are back to zero from 100k.

BTW, isn't it funny you know every little details about the people sharing meat and all the market plus the sharing formula but you don't do it?

thats the problem. i dont have an accountant. why will i need an accountant ? i be celebrity ?

Olodostein: Bros, she is right to some extent. Take am easy with those canned preserved food oooh. Nigeria way of preparing food is the best. We take our time to prepare it.

Anyhow sha, I like your reasoning on the essence of living. You sound like one who is philosophically inclined.

I appreciate that fact and will revert back to that if need be when i return to naija. however i aint in naija. i do things differently now. thats part of travelling. you learn new ways and become a more rounded person. those aspects of nigerian life i find too tedious and unnecessary. i am not that vested in saving money or eating smoked goat head ( whatever the heck that is ) to where i cannot morph and meld and adapt into any society i find myself. whatever i cannot get conventionally ? i ignore.. its not that serious.

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]From what I understand 3 families come together to buy goat, now I don't know how much a live goat is in the UK but knowing a little about Econiomics, I can safely say the stores usually make ten times more than the original price of the goat. [/quote]if you are that much vested in eating goat meat you may need an exorcism. the system in the uk is set-up in a sanitized way so that everything you need is available at the numerous supermarkets that dot the land. getting together with 3 other people to seek out whole goats is not the norm over there. in fact its abnormal. this shows that you have an unnatural affinity for that goat meat. like i said, yall may need some kind of exorcism.

Billyonaire: hAhahahahahaha, my stomach is paining me from laughter, I can visualize them with the description you painted. Have you considered a career in movie script writing? Oh my God....I dont wanna laugh no more...

i guess i have missed my calling then lol

Billyonaire: Chei, you sef follow ? What is wrong with UK men and food ?

naija men and food as a whole. its a disturbing pattern i have noticed. especially if you go to nigerian restaurant in the uk. you see men sweating like runaway slaves while eating. beads of sweat forming all over their bald heads and foreheads and all over their body. then while chewing they simultaneously are wiping the beads of sweat with their hanky while using the other hand to loosen their belt. quite a hilarious sight really, and an ecstatic look on their faces as they chew naija too like food sef.

Billyonaire: Guy, try and educate those men please. Please help me educate them to stay off "3 full Goats", "big bags of garri" etc. These are women's job. Please bro, I beg you in the name of God. Teach those men the way of real Nigerian men. Because, they could come back to Nigeria to misbehave with food not remembering the dictatorial responsibilities of Nigerian men. Chei !

nah i keep a wide berth from such men. such men always have police spying them. you know someone who is passionate about food to the extent of sharing whole goats in london is also almost always a bank fraudster. you know the type ? always looking for chekere and banky and natty and laide

saxywale: 5pounds Tesco meat for a week! OMG! Now that's new to me. Hope you checked the expiry date though

oh its fresh meat bruh. trust lol. i dont eat meat like 3 times a day you see. i also like eating things like waffles, potatos and egg, bread and humous etc etc. so yeah i dont eat meat morning afternoon and night. maybe thats why it lasts a week.

Billyonaire: What is wrong with you men and food items, have the role of men changed to those of women in the UK ?

right men in skirts lolz

saxywale: Applies to a lot of people but there are exceptions. Some people would rather bank all those money and will it to their cats when they die.

yeah this woman willed 10 million to her dog in new york.

saxywale: Guy, you funny ooo.lolz.
You know, I could get 1 polybag size of beaf at the local Manchester abattoir just for 10quids, then I can call friends for a barbecue. That same 10quids in Tesco is just going to get me some miserable thin beaf, that won't even fill a pure water sachet. So I don't see why I should buy some stuff in Tesco or M&S, they just total rip off.

thats bull bruh. in tescos i get meat for like £5 and it lasts me like 1 week. its in those white plasticky things and it is cut into cubes and you get about 30 or 40 cubes of beaf for like 2 pounds. dunno what tesco you been going to bruh but 5 pound meat will last me nicely.

saxywale: I guess much depends on your lifestyle. I am repeating myself. With a descent job, you don't have to struggle. I have underwritten loans for both regular customers and private banking clients in one of my previous job roles.

I have seen police constables earning just 3,500 per month leaving well on that salary with enough free income to play around with and a fat savings accounts (Usually Bonds). No commitments than regular bills and all mortgage paid off. They are contempt with what they have and cut their coats according to their size.

I have also seen business executives earning 15,000 per month struggling with debts from credit cards and store cards and won't even get a 30,000 loan due to commitments and expensive lifestyle. High risk clients even though their earning power is high.

So, much depends on your lifestyle.

you know what i have found out about money ? the more you earn the more you spend.

horny4u: I live in beautiful southwest England but I order my smoked goat head, hard chicken, pomo, shin meat etc online. I envy those that can go to all this markets o. No shame in loving my food...Tesco only just started selling gari, beans and malt and Morrison okro and rodo...in the past they were not catering for the minority market so ....
Lets not over posh ourselves I shop at waitrose alot because they have high quality organic food but someone needs to cater for my ogiri needs and if loving my food makes me backward....oh well!

this aint even about poshing. all those things you mentioned ? i have stopped eating because of the inconvenience of it all. hey in tesco get meat, get canned tomato puree, get dry pepper, oil and fresh spinach. then get cornmeal or semolina. then get orange juice or ginger beer. what else do you need ? why do you feel like you need smoked goat head and pomo and shin meat and all the other stuff you mentioned ? all that is unnecessary. you eat to live, you dont live to eat.

dustydee: same thing happens back home, just that at home it is done in darkness and the chickens are placed on ice blocks rather than in freezers

yeah but the astounding fact is that you can get all these things cut up nicely in small packets from tesco, sainsburys, morrisons, asda or marks and spencer. but nooooooo these fools want live goats and agric chicken *smh*

r231: yea rite

big lie

let me find out you are a regular at billinsgate fish market

horny4u: Next time you see them pls take a photogragh ....they should be shamed...imagine carrying goat on their neck walking through regent street and hugging a bag of gari.....o le ku! akika!!!

i will lol. and post it here. and then on saturday, liverpool street, you see them carrying live chickens on their head crazy people. then you also see them at billinsgate with huge boxes of fish on their head. these people like meat. thats why they get gout and all kinds of extinct diseases

r231: how much is food stuff

thats not the point. the point is the absurdity in the practice. this is a somewhat sanitized country. they dont want sweaty belligerent negros with whole goats and bags of garri on their heads walking down the high street.

norrisman: @buzugee

Did I hit a nerve? Sorry guv'nor. Didnt mean to.

The only reason it is cheaper to live in Nigeria is because of the availability of slave labour.

yes you did. i take offence when someone tries to associate my family with voodoo and juju. we are decent God fearing people

[quote author=Sky-walker]really? [/quote]yup. lol. crazy . nigerians leave nigeria to come live as nigerians in another land. nothing wrong in living as a nigerian but can we leave the ridiculous aspects of nigerian life at the airport before embarking ?

r231: what in the world are you talking about mehn

you that live in Nigeria, what have you done for Nigerian people and what steps have you taken to try and make things better

all i see is a talkative that comes here all the time to run his mouth

take a look at this and learn one or two things from there https://www.nairaland.com/802184/nairaland-charity-organisation-e-helpers-network

try and make good use of the money you claimed you have cus thats what i did

too many assumptions in this post.

Billyonaire: The funny thing is when they come back, they see many people revving with better trucks on dirt roads.

lol hey there will always be people with bigger better toys. as such it is a fruitless venture. folks need to embrace stoic individualism. cuz lets face it all this furore boils down to trying to impress others. if you embrace staunch individualism, all that petty primitive desire to want to oppress vanishes away.

ola4yinka: What's wrong in saving to come back home and be better for it.... ?

do what you gotta do. i aint knocking your hustle. but dont knock my hustle. norrisman was knocking my hustle. i had to put him in check

r231: na wa ooooo

everything to you is suffer head

yes i do that all the time not because i can afford a whole one but it take me forever to finish it so whats the point.....same with garri like i have to keep eating garri and meat everyday

so are you saying its a crime to share meat and garri




it doesn't have nothing to do with the mercedes bro

come now how much is garri

how much is a whole goat

i call it how i see it. you nigerians have to transcend materialism. only then will you get to your full potential ( mentally and spiritually ) in life. now i am not advocating being a broke homeless person but you nigerians are obsessed with materialism. its so crazy i have stopped hanging around nigerians. lets just say if i didnt meet you in high school or uni, then i really do not want to know you if you are a nigerian. unless of course you are that unique ( dont run into those kind of nigerians often ) to the point where you are passionate about other things and have transcended materialism.

Billyonaire: Ahahahahahahaha, Na Una Una. Why contribute to "buy whole goat" and share, and also add money to buy "huge bags of garri". Tell them to come back home o. Very disgraceful.

hey thats how most of your people live out here. all so they can get that mercedes and go shine in naija. primitive minds.
