They’ve refused to admit their whole spiel is rooted in deep seated misogyny but we know better
Eunoiaa:
You also know what's crazy? In the same vein as this crazy appearance, John Cena has worn a skirt outside before. And you can trust the MRA hive came for him. Calling him woke, trans, a figure of American end of civilization, feminine and all sorts of things in the book. But this wearing of an envelope barely got a reaction

So in their crude misogynistic minds, they'd rather a man be naked and cover himself with leaves than for him to be caught wearing a skirt. Anything is acceptable for a man to put on so long it does not belong to the attire of the "inferior gender".

That is why men and women can never be same or equal.
Women are special and were created with so much beauty and finesse. We men can walk around naked and nobody cares. But the bare chest and thighs of a woman would cause commotion everywhere because their body attracts attention, wild passion, lust, etc.
Save it for people who care for such nonsense hypocritical mumbo jumbo

The US is funding this war.

They gave Israel the bomb, surveillance, and tactics, vetoed ceasefire resolutions in the UN, military support, and so much going in the background that we do not know.

But somehow, believes that building this port is more important that just forcing Israel to stop bombing Palestine.

All just to maintain a dying hegemony that harms the planet.

The report clearly stated the amount gotten from people buying Nigerian assets and these to you are not investors?
How do I explain to you that a Nigerian letting go of their property due to desperation is not a win for the average Nigerian?

But propaganda must go on.

You probably think diaspora remittances are a new thing.
I don’t even know how to respond to this.
Why would I think that?
Nigerians abroad are a major source of foreign exchange for a long time.
duh?

Yeah, current realities make spike the remittance but it is nothing new.
Thanks for getting the point.
There’s a spike because the poverty level in Nigeria increased . Previously comfortable/well to do people are finding themselves less able to afford things they could easily afford. Hence they reach out more to relatives and friends, hence the spike? That’s kinda the point

There’s no rush of foreign investors so wowed by the current realities that they are swarming into the country to establish businesses etc.

People just got poorer and that’s not an achievement .

You’re being economical with the truth but we’ll let your conscience judge you. that’s if you have one.


When people who never ask for financial assistance start reaching out because everything costs triple the original price, you want to tell us it’s not hardship/high cost of living that’s increasing foreign remittances?

seunmsg:
Can you haters stop talking nonsense? Diaspora remittance is a major source of forex earning for Nigeria and sadly, it has been dwindling over the years. Under Buhari, Emefiele even started offering Nigerians in diaspora extra N5 for every dollar remitted yet, the response wasn’t so good. People in recent times preferred sending money to relatives at home through crypto and fintechs outside banking control.

Now that there is significant improvement, it means confidence is returning to the system. It is a good indication that the reforms are working. Only senseless and irredeemable haters will attribute this to suffering. People remit money home from all over the world. It has nothing to do with the high cost of living all over the world.

In lay man's term tinubu made Nigerians so poor that their relatives abroad increased the money they send them.

That’s exactly what it is.

Even people I know who would have never asked for anything in the past due to having very comfortable jobs, didn’t have a choice but to reach out. And you can tell it was difficult for them to ask for help seeing as they’re used to being self sufficient providers prior to all this nonsense

Lets ask them how many found guilty have they carried that sentence on and how many have they discharged and acquitted. The news report of some arrested back then was that they were swapped or freed through jail breaks..
Or most likely recruited into the Nigerian army under the guise of reformed militant, given guns & uniforms and sent to the east to mount road blocks

If you’re really in your mid 40s like you claimed in prior posts (I can’t tell when you’re serious or joking), but if true, that puts you >10 years older than me. How am I your aunty?
Or is aunty supposed to be a term of endearment? Or some form of insult?

I’m not accusing you of shading anyone. Stop feeling guilty. I’m just pointing out to you how much you’re not making sense. Valuing money differently based on who sent it.

The whole reason why your “neighbor’s” 20k is valueless in your opinion is because the sender lives abroad. That’s the dot you should be connecting.
What offense did the sender commit except living in a different part of the world?

Why are you crying more than the bereaved if I may ask?

The point is that if you can be grateful for 20k regardless of who sent it, your fictional neighbor can be grateful as well. I feel like that’s quite clear in my post. BTW there’s nothing to dig up. That post you literally made not that long ago.

@bold you have to be a comedienne ATP. There’s no way you actually believe that

Jewessgratitud3:
.
Coco stop being pained and stop talking trash that you don't know.

The 12 Dollar post is about a neighbor. The post you went and dugged out happened here on nairaland and everyone saw when mr Mayflowe.r offered to round the previous 80 I was gifted by a good man to 100k which he did and I created a thread about it immediately appreciating him. I don't know where he's based, He was just happy for me and decided to add to my blessing which all happened openly here. So why would you connect this post to a different event that happened openly here which everyone saw?


You only went and dug out the part I created the appreciation thread just to suit your evil accusations but refused to dig the part where it all started from the 80k gift post that made front page. You see you're the one trolling. They've sent you from your gang to come and cause commotion by accusing me of complaining about the blessing the young man gave me Meanwhile you didn't show or comment in the other post where I and other nairalanders were rejoicing you now come to accuse me falsely of shading my God sent benefactor.? Hmmm na so witchcraft dey start.


I see all the gifts I received that day is eating you up and you're trying to spoil the minds of those wonderful and generous young men but you lie!


By the way, shebi I've warned you before to stop nosing about my thread?

Why would you rate someone based on where they live? Does location add more value to a person than another?
Someone might have an opportunity that another person didn’t get. It doesn’t make them inherently better or deserving of higher rating than another.

if you must rate people, do it on a basis of whether they a good, kind and honorable person!

Except u want to live in denial, why won’t the dollar value be important? And how is 20k a lot of money these days?
I didn’t say 20k is a lot of money.

The reason why the dollar value is irrelevant is because the same way Nigerians abroad shouldn’t be converting to naira when spending is the same way Nigerians in Nigeria shouldn’t be valuing stuff based on how many dollars it cost the giver

Only you and your God know if you’re a real person or a troll. This was you not long ago giving testimony and thanking God that someone sent you 20k

Fast forward to today and 20k is now an insult. Because the sender lives abroad?. And I’m the one with warped view?

I won’t even bother trying to get it to make sense to you.
Clearly that’s a job for the brave and patient

Thank you!
sukkot:
nooooo bro the guy has zero point. There are issues at play here that you guys are not considering

1- the friend is out of touch with reality. They say the guy has been away for over 18 years. When the guy left naija 20k was a hugeee amount. The guys mind is still stuck in that era. One thing about japa ? Unless you visit regularly, your mind is stuck to the era you left naija in. To that man he thinks he is busting his guys bank account with 20 thousand. It sounds like a lot .

But notwithstanding, 20000 free unsolicited money is awoof to be celebrated and enjoyed. If you are already rich ? Just see it as your friend bought you catfish pepper soup and odeku. Go to a joint and point to the biggest catfish for 12000 and buy like 5 odeku and enjoy . What’s there to be angry about ? It’s free money

Well then that’s a different story.

Giving based on what’s helpful in the local currency versus calculating in dollars is more sensible.

Maybe him being abroad for a while made him not aware that 20k is way less helpful than it was few years ago. In that case, instead of acting like the person is trying to be deliberately insulting, just accept that maybe they don’t know.

FFS shush with your rants all over the thread.

Why does the number of years he’s been abroad matter?
Do they owe you more money the longer they live abroad? Y’all’s logic confound me.

If your currency isn’t dollars, I don’t see why the heck you’re calculating the dollar value. Except for some profound deep seated ingratitude. You want to make sure the person giving you the money suffered and sacrificed for it versus giving you something that’s convenient for them.

Pretty sure a Nigerian giving you 20k wouldn’t have been an insult. It’s now an insult because they have the nerve to live abroad.
Timoleon:
That's the very reason that friend shouldn't have sent that kind of money after 16years. Bro didn't beg him for money, he messaged bro himself. I dey sell food, you dey waka for front of my shop, I call you pour food for floor, tell you make you chop because country hard. You go chop am? You go kneel down tell me thank you pray for me? Fact Is wether I gave you food or not, you go survive. If I no give you at all na my right to not give, na me know how economy dey affect my market. However, there are ways to give and ways not to give. If I must give I must do it in a way that does not diminish the receiver's dignity.

You can be abroad 100years and not give anything, nobody is entitled to your money. It is unwarranted to call out if the blues after almost two decades to say I hear say country hard, here's 12$.
