I remember when my mum was at Brussels North station one rainy night, and she was shocked to see lots of homeless people sleeping in tents at the train station. She was now asking me, why didn't these people just go back home?

Both whites, blacks, and middle easterners, are all sleeping, and the NGO gives them food every day. So tell me, is that a good life? of course not.

There are lots of people in Nigeria that are doing great, and they are living well. I do rent Airbnb in Lagos sometimes, and the kind of mansion I see, mehn, their life is way better than those in the west.

Japa is not an achievement. It is just a location change.

That number is reducing by the day and a good number of the mansions you see are from seed funds or direct purchases from Nigerian diasporans.

She'll still divorce "him"

They should learn from China and India how they managed to grow their GDP and still Keep inflation low.

Watianoengineer:
This is one of the reasons I don't pity the south east when they shout marginalization. They are not patriotic at all. Every region in nigeria is protesting the unbearable cost of living but they will rather sit down and look. If the protests works and the prices of goods and services come down they will buy cheaper goods from the market and reap where they did not sow. Peter Obi that they see as a messiah is worse than failure. His record in Anambra speaks volume. We will keep teaching you people political lessons

Enjoy your political wizardry at ₦2000/£

aswani:
Can you please remove Ẹdo state from whatever nonsense generalisation you are making.

Yes you fooled some of them but they have now seen your true agenda and are no longer beholden to your rancid Obidient mantra.

LP is dead in Benin as that was the only place where they fleetingly had some traction.

Know this and know peace.

So Benin people are Tinubu fanatics now?

iamoyindamola:
Wait this is him?

Anyone with an AK-47 and borderline sociopathy could be a Rambo.

Dobodobo04:
Weak Naira is making our goods easier to export.

Soon, US, UK and EU will start coming to buy our agricultural produce, which will organically restrengthen the Naira in the long run.

The indigenes should be able to afford it as well.

Kloenboi:
It seems the helicopters in Nigeria are more durable.

How many do we even have?

I hope they won't be felled by RPGs , that's if those raggedy bandits have any.

brother 2milla no be pump ooo, use right verb abeg ..

Ok na.... Sprinkle the 2M

Just pump the 2 Milla and see where it'll reach.

Oghene86:
Yeah he was Rich, but no be $4billion wealth and Forbes do not know him , maybe he wanted to say $4million 😕

That $4bn is likely Lamba. Though he was doing quite well for himself. As at 1999, he donated $1million to PDP and ₦100 million to OBJ for his campaign.

Crafteck1:
4bn usd wasnt so much till nainra capsided..

$4bn is still $4bn ...

He should not follow Maradona footsteps oo. I don't trust those Neapolitans.

Biafrannuke:
ecowas is headed by French puppet.

Russia is curtailing Western influence their.

And imposing Russian influence?

fidelmarshal199:
It's about salary, You can't be paying a family man less than 50k and b expecting full loyalty from them. You can't cheat Nature



[b]Resign and start doing what please? [/b]The 2 constabulary Policemen that were disrobe few weeks ago were earning 30k per month

Any other legitimate work that doesn't involve extorting citizens.

fidelmarshal199:
It's about salary, You can't be paying a family man less than 50k and b expecting full loyalty from them. You can't cheat Nature

The Man in that picture is not earning 50k. They can as well resign if the salary is too meager... They didn't take lethal blood oaths when they joined the police force.

ValCon888:
I speak English fluently for Americana land yet nobody has come to praise me. Let us continue to worship oyinbo man with our enslaved mentality.

Way back in the 15th century, the Portuguese came to Nigeria, and had to learn the indigenous languages to conduct trade in brass, copper and ivory works.

In fact, Oba Esigie was the first Benin King to speak Portuguese. He learned it to foster relations between the Benin Empire and Portuguese Kingdom and heaven did not fall.

Oyinbo man learning our language is not an achievement.

Because we forget how great we once were, we can never know how great we can be.

The Benin empire even had an ambassador in Portugal as at then. Things were going well. Later, Slavery and imperialism took things on a different route .

Dem for ask for Tinubu sack too na... Did they act on their own whims?

chidiokay:
With a Living horse there is nothing like overflogging, People like you don't read with an open mind thats your problem

No matter the arguement you bring up now or later, Lagos will always be among the top rated city to "LIVE"among cities in developing countries, emphasis on bolded


though we are far from Best but things can only get Better

We're on the same Page on the emboldened. We can only rub shoulders with 3rd World and allied $hitholes...

chidiokay:
Lagos was enlisted among the Mega city to "[b]VISIT" that is quiet different from "Live"[/b] ..... with the kind of landmarks, hospitality, venues and events you find in Lagos how is that a Lie, that you unprivileged to see beautiful places in Lagos does mean they don't exist

if you know Lagos is a good place to visit then why bring up unnecessary arguement in the 1st place, or its an habit to libel Lagos

I've noted the correction earlier, why overflogging? For visiting is good, after all people visit Lebanon. I'll leave the argument of infrastructure, living conditions, security And HDI for another day.

All these overnight bans sef... What happened to setting a realistic deadline and proposing viable eco friendly alternatives?

chidiokay:
Imagine the whites reading comment likes your about your own country what do you think they will categorize you as

Tribalism don spoil una life, make everything sha be bad news so you can wail dem dey pay una for wailing

It's not about tribalism.. I'm Igbo, but If anyone said that the Southeast is the safest region (especially during the peak of the UGM/ESN/Ipob murderous spree), I would spit on the person's face. Reality is reality.
With a thousand dollars now, a visitor/tourist Will have a blast in Lagos, so it's reasonable to say it's a pretty Good place to visit.

MrSundry:
A lot of people need to take comprehension lessons.

"Best city to visit" is different from " Best city to live"

Beirut is a lovely place to visit on tourism but not for permanent living.

Oh, alright... It's clear now. I nearly wrote a protest email to the ranking officials sef.

Without a single subway and metro line system ? Dey Play.
From the comments, even Nigerians reject the "rigged" kangaroo ranking. No whine us abeg.

BALLOSKI:
Shocking!

In an explosion of that magnitude, I really don't believe only 3 people died.

They should tell us the truth.

No one has claimed responsibility either... So we can go with their story for now.

Skoolextra:
Learn to buy things in bulk. Especially meat . Buy from abbaotoir that would last for at least a month. For Lovers of fish buy a carton or half from cold room. For a family you will be saving a minimum of 50k. Lastly, get your tomatoes and pepper from major market in large quantity and preserve them in your freezer.

Provided they're living in an area with adequate power supply. If not, add another 20k or More monthly for only Gen fuel.

Greenback:
Guy you don't earn bad at all,in fact,you earn very good...what's left is for you to make plans

To jakpa I guess... Cos the inflation is showing no signs of slowing.

kennyz247:
Na God oo,how we even survive in Nigeria is beyond human reason..
U collect 30 k as monthly salary and u end up spending more than 50k monthly,this can only be God...

... And perhaps begging, bribery and debts.

RapportNaija:
To answer your question, I'll use this popular Nigerian phrase, "Na God"

Because if not God, how are we truly surviving?

I have a family of 4 (1 toddler included).

We cook proper soup twice a week (3-5k each when managing funds)

Our first child does heavy snacking and her most preferred food is Golden Morn, Coco Pops, or Oat and milk.

Our toddler is still on baby formula milk.

I consume alcohol too (no shame, sorry not sorry - at least 2 bottles of beer daily)

We buy half bag of rice every 2-3 months, and then split the rest of my food budget on spaghetti, noodles, Garri, semo, Amala, groundnut oil, palm oil, etc.

All of this on which income? My woman earns less than 30k/month as a primary school teacher.

I freelance (earn in $$$s)...but income is nearly always inconsistent.

In the past 8 months, things have become tougher. No thanks to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (that's stolen most clients) and harsh APC Naija economy.

All income now goes to feeding and paying regular bills like TV, internet, cooking gas, power supply, water, cleaning, etc.

We can barely afford new clothes or replace our old/damaged gadgets.

It's time to leave this country!

I'm exactly in your shoes. The last thing I can do is to sacrifice nutrition in order to take care of other less important stuff.

JayPeeOham:
As advised, U searched them on FB and was directed to their WhatsApp number. I have contacted them and now waiting for their response.

By the way, do you work with them, maybe you could help fast track the conversation please?🙏

Cool.. but No, I don't work with them. I follow them and have seen their impact. Have a Lil patience And still follow up later.

lexy2014:
is it not the same opportunities that men have to apply that women have to apply?

You dey mind them?. They didn't increase jobs.
