I was at Computer Village to buy some software when I overheard a group of young lads barely 15 or 16 by the look of them openly discussing about clients, maga, and other fraudulent schemes.

What struck me most was how carefree they were, completely unbothered by the thought that someone nearby could be a detective or an undercover agent.

It’s truly disheartening that our value system as a society seems to be in shambles.

Do you think they care??, the system failed them, parents, relatives and the government, your opinion is worthless to them, not like you'll be of any growth value to them nor will the government be, it will only get worst except the government and society starts making it's citizens welfare their priority, the leaders as well are all corrupt, looting funds meant for projects and nepotism everywhere, survival is natural, it is what it is. It's a pity.

If you drink you'll die, if you don't drink you'll still die or kpai. Stop thanking God for not drinking because nothing concern God with your drinking habits, last last those organs will still weak and you'll kpai like chicken. Say Amen.
Whether you say Amen or not, you'll still kpai.
It is a must. You must kpai and your loved ones will dig ground, put you inside, cover you up and everyone will go back to their normal life. So....you get it?

Lol, the way some people make it feel like they'll escape death if they don't consume certain foods and drinks is very funny.

WesleyPepper:
They actually look better treated than the way the Zionists treated the Palestinians.
Is it not ironical that the so called terrorist group have treated their captives better than the saintly army of the zionists

Nobody cares!... it's not like the zionists attacked them first, they did... all is fair in war, your sentiments are useless!

I have this Ghanian friend that worked at a hospital...

As an anesthetist. He had a poultry large poultry farm and did crop farming as side business. This is a poultry farm that had close to 10,000 birds and was doing well and he was comfortable. His wife also worked as a staff of one of the highest paying companies-Cocoabod.

Dude woke up one day and said he was leaving all these behind, including his wife and 2 kids to travel to America to go "hustle."

He told me he worked in Winter and his fingers froze from the cold.


Scenario 2 is another friend that recently traveled sometime in the middle of last year. This one also had a good job, an 11 acres peice of land where he did pig farming as side business (he even gave me about 3 acres from the part he wasn't using on which I planted maize and okra last 2 years) he had property a wife and recently had a kid.


This one called me just early this year telling me he was now in America looking for a job.

He told me he recently got a job, he didn't disclose the type of job. But I suspect it's one of those unskilled jobs. He was telling me recently when we chatted how he had to work and was paying the person whose paper he was using to work.

He said something like he was saving money for now to get his own papers and couldn't even afford to get a decent bedsheet for now. He didn't want to open up on many things but I could sense his struggles.


My question is why would someone be doing fairly or averagely okay in their own country and decide to travel to another country not to go work as skilled or start a business but to go do demeaning unskilled labor work.

Why would I leave my country where I live almost as a king to go live in a rat race.


I can never understand that.

Another person was confiding in me recently that he wanted to travel to the US. This is someone that has a small factory, into iron rod sales and construction business. I just looked at him and told him not to do it. He should focus on growing his business and I used the other 2 people I mentioned earlier as examples.

If I want to travel to the US or any other country it's to go flex, explore, or look for bigger business opportunities and not to go hustle and start from the scratch.

A crocodile in the my country is better than a lizard in obodo oyibo!

Na low self-esteem dey worry so many Nigerians!

She should come back to Nigeria, nonsense!

SmartPolician:
If someone leaves hiis own culture and starts promoting another man's culture, doesn't that make the person foolish?

Some people don't read the room. As an Igbo man, stay off Yoruba culture. The only business you have with them is to do business with them.

But they don't stay off ours!... putting there nonsense ewedu mouths in our culture, saying we are bad for not giving women ancestral lands, tell them to mind their affairs as well.

Mblingz:
Oluwa pls come to our rescue because no one is available to help us in this country, all the controllers have betrayed us.....
Nothing will happen to me and my family and those that wishes us well inshallahu..

No one is coming to your rescue!, Nigerians una too mumu!

This is the statement I'm looking for 💯

Thundafireseun:
A lot of Nigerian women see themselves as assistant god …. Imagine the kind of prayer she's spewing to befall someone else!

Madam you turned your self in to a public figure, and you are now angry about being seen in the public without your permission….

70 years old woman

The stupidity is stunning 😆 🤣

press9jatv:
these men are rich too and they have class too. They preferred spending their hard earned money on boreholes of ladies. Alot of ladies are cashing out big.

Rich through which means?, corruption and criminality, rubbish.

Nnamdipapa:
I came across this on FB and I want to know your thoughts on this, why would a black lady disclose she is not dating African men? Imagine if a black guy makes this kind of post and indicate they would not date black or African ladies, them black ladies will come with pitch forks.

Black ladies, stop discriminating against African men.

Na una wey dey even send this kind idiots I blame... mtcheww

judewrites:
Unlike the rest, Christianity isn't a religion.

It's a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

That's why God's presence is evident when we pray, worship and read His WORD.

It's classified as a religion, when you go to fill out a document fill the place meant for religion as "a way of life" lets see what happens 😆... stop being brainwashed by pastors, it's a religion brought to us through the westerners, you can't know their religion more than them.

helinues:
This bleaching pastor should go and sit down somewhere jare.

Are the American pastors behave the way you do as a pastor to start with?

He's naturally fair, no be everyone dey bleach.

Racoon:
The General Yakubu Gowon, Lt Gen. TY Danjuma, Awolowo and many who did it to Alaigbo back then all go to church and claimed to serve God.

Great reply!

Sermwell:
This one is pushing security responsibilities to the people instead of this useless government.

Our constitution provides that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of governance.

Leave that mugĝu

enemyofprogress:

Report him to the police and send him packing. I trust Mynd44, she willl never take this rubbish from any man

mannobi:

CharleyBright:
The one the white brought to us is the one you and I are using to communicate now.
That little equipment you are using to type the thrash you just said who made it, your dibia?
Why did you bother to go to the so called white man school to acquire their education?
You should have settle down to your traditional dibia apprenticeship.
Follow boy

They still brought slavery!, looting, scamming and so many societal ills today, Swallow it all hookline, line and sinker!, we should throw away our customs and way of life because Oyibo man left Europe uninvited and took over African lands, ndi ara 🤡

CharleyBright:
Will they parade the python if it kills the man or any person?
Africans and senseless traditions.
In this time and age, some people are still believing and aligning with deities?
Ibos still doing Dibias and Ezenwanyis upandan.

The one whites brought to you howfar??, have it salvaged Nigeria out of misery?, oga shut up and face your region!

Babalegba:
The US and the UK did bad things but also did a lot of good things as well.600 thousand Americans died in the American civil war to eradicate slavery and Britain brought civilization to dark places at huge sacrificial cost.When you are defrauding people,you are only doing bad things and the victims would not wish you well.

First of all nobody invited the western world to Africa in the first place!, our ancestors didn't mail or phone them to come and loot and enslave us in the name of colonisation, do you even have sense at all??, people came into your lands without visa and passport, killed, maimed, stole natural resources and even sold your fellow Africans into slavery and you are here talking of they brought good?, their good is miniscule compared to the bad they brought, someone who came to your land with no restrictions now wants you to apply for visa with a passport... if this isn't fraud to you then I'm sorry you have alot of research to do, the westerners are manipulators and always paint themselves holy and white, people like you would be among those that sold out pan-africanists like Patrice Lumumba, Idi Amin and Gaddafi, the whites are dynamically worst than these men labelled as bad leaders, FYI the whites kept Africa the way it is today!

iamrealdeji:
Speak for yourself. Imams are not thieves. Don't mistake imam for Alfa. Imams lead prayers in mosque and I've never seen any Imam that extorts like pastors. Alfas are freelancers and split into many parts. Some Alfas teach Quranic memorization,Some Alfas teach several Islamic subjects,some Alfas preach,some Alfas are just normal good Muslims that are committed to seeking knowledge and adhering strictly to Islamic practices and this is what majority of Muslims are and are expected to be. Some Alfas are Islamic law experts and judges. Some Alfas are humanitarian social workers that try to remove Jinns out of possessed individuals free of charge but they usually have other jobs for survival,some Alfas are researchers that unfold correlations of Modern science with Quran and hadiths,some Alfas research and unfold numerical messages and secrets in Quran from the verses and words.
The Alfas you are referring to are those we call Alu Ifa because they claim to solve people's problems spiritually whereas we Muslims swear oath on every prayer stand that it is Allah(God) only we worship and it is he only we ask for help. There is no intermediary in Islam but they try to act otherwise because of money till the extent of even committing the worst sins like kufr or Idolatry,like black magic which is what is the most frowned at in Islam and anybody that dies after doing it without repenting will go straight to hell. Some of them do Bidia like telling customers to hold rosary or washing Arabic texts off a board,some use alcohol to consume their magic powder,etc

All these explanations are not needed... last last no one is righteous 💯

ufotunang:
.. even if it cannot be abolished but yahoo yahoo can be reduced to a certain limit if government implement what I listed above

How will they implement those things you listed when they themselves are thieves in office... are you from Mars?

AndroBlaze:
All the other countries in the world where government is not providing job for youths are they doing yahoo??

The government is terrible, nobody is denying it, but that is no excuse for romance scam and blackmailing teenagers abroad

When there's no job they should come and rob you abi?, many of you Nigerians are annoying, the government is to be blamed! 💯

PulaPower:
If your point is true, then how come USA and Uk etc were able to developed and do good for themselves? You know how many curse money they harnessed all around the world and still harnessing?

Leave that mumu... if him know the amount of natural resources and man power (Slavery) they stole he won't even be talking nonsense, Switzerland alone operates on looted nations money by their corrupt leaders, leave this people with their Nigerian righteousness, mtcheeww

The True Cost Of ‘let’s Hang Out’: A Financial Autopsy

If it's not splited then such hangouts doesn't worth it!

iamphenomenal:
I'm so happy to be here again this year to give another testimony of my victory. I celebrate today five years since I buried the addiction of pornography and masturbation, which had plagued my life for many years. Glory to God who wiped my tears!

There are generally two groups of people struggling with addiction:
1. Those who are addicted but secretly enjoy it and don't see anything wrong with it as they have given up entirely, accepted their fate, and invite others to join them in their doom.
2. Those who are tired, who sincerely want to quit the addiction and cry behind closed doors, but have always failed.

It is to the latter group I direct this testimony. Beware!
You see that if someone could do it and hasn't returned to the addiction in five years, you also can do it and break free if you really want!

All my journey and challenges, as well as my past success stories are recorded here on Nairaland, on the great platform where I met fellow fighters facing the same struggle - Masturbation Quitting Challenge Thread
https://www.nairaland.com/5223408/masturbation-quitting-challenge-thread

Note: As I've always emphasized, I didn't replace this addiction with sex (as many people propose as a solution). All through my recovery stages till now I've never engaged in sex, as I'm not yet married. Glory to God!

Remember I was also told that it was 'impossible' to quit this addiction when you were hooked. I also suffered terribly. I had also failed and failed, until I looked at this addiction with red eyes and said 'enough is enough, today na today!'

This testimony is to encourage anyone struggling with the same (or any other) addiction that total victory is possible. Seek help. Run to God. Engage in accountability. Don't give up!

I told God something back then: I want to be a model to youths (especially young men) that you can live without any addiction and without premarital sex. God granted my request and here I am today five years after! Brothers, yes it is hard but this is possible. This is my life now. JESUS is KING!

Till next year. God spare my life.

Long live Nairaland!
