TCN reported a Nationwide blackout earlier today but it seems power is being gradually restored to some areas tonight.

Here in Mile 2 Port Harcourt, power just got restored 11:45 pm today.

What is the electricity situation in your area at the moment?

I believe there is an expanding middle class in Nigeria . Most of the young people you find living in VGC, Lekki , Oniru and agungi are in the middle class. I could afford all these things you’ve mentioned even when I was a youth corp member with short term contract positions here and there. I maintained irokoTv and Netflix subscriptions, I ate out at least once a day , partied almost every weekend, watched soccer at lounges and went on vacation about twice annually. By the time I started working full time I had been to most of the cities in Europe which was probably one of the cultures in learnt in the west (vacation every now and then). I also had a car before I started working in naij. But I never had 10 million naira in my account or owned a house . I believe I was already in the middle class (by Nigerian standard ) as a youth corp member with temporary freelancing jobs here and there. One of the contributors even went as far as classifying Dangote as a potential middle class in west lol . Africa’s wealthiest capitalist cannot be a middle class citizen anywhere in the world . I’ve found it easier to save money and still live well in Nigeria than USA. Nigeria is cheap and I don’t need as much money as an American will need to live decently due to variation in cost of living in both societies. The American culture has got its citizens more individualistic than most Africans . Consequently Americans tend to spend on themselves and only themselves . Most American kids have their college education funded via financial aids even if their parents could afford it. On the other hand Nigerians ( both middle and upper class)?spend a substantial amount of their income giving out to relatives, friends, church or hosting one event or the other. Difference in culture explains that not the absence of middle class . No society lacks a middle class .

Hello nairalanders, I have chronic Rhinosinusitis, which is constant dripping from the nose. In layman's term, I have catarrh that never goes and becomes serious when ever I'm exposed to cold. Watery catarrh. It sometimes drips out in public and embarrasses me. I've tried visiting a teaching hospital, after several attempt, the doctor at ENT told me that I should keep coming so they would keep giving me drugs that eventually, one must work, when I heard that, I stopped going.

I want to ask if there is any cure out there, maybe native cure or something, this stuff is serious and really worrying my life, I constantly inhale just to drag the watery catarrh in, this is not like the normal catarrh you know, this one is watery and it doesn't stop, it just subsidies for some time and comes up again. I've had this problem for about 12years now.

No be when you have a job, you go budget? Young Nigerians need to go into farming..

Netherlands makes $100 billion annually from agriculture alone,which is our oil earnings in 4 years. Yesterday, all their top scientists and CEOs were in Nigeria in a deal to transfer their agricultural technology to Nigeria farming so we also can make more from farming than oil.
