Most likely the visa officer that granted his visa knew about it, but still pretended otherwise. Lol

who the gods want to kill

descarado:
Ask him where the money is. All gone loving a larvish lifestyle.

Millions of dollars too

It’s insane. Do they not understand you can live a decent high quality lifestyle earning only a few hundred thousand a year? How then person hand go touch millions of dollars and they’ll just be stupid with it. Boggles my mind

Why is he talking to you about his wife’s nakedd body?

Imagine being a billionaire who wants to help people and all they do is reward your generosity with conspiracy theories. No wonder many of them dgaf. Why should they?

I truly hope so

maasoap:

Can't say I wasn't having fun talking about this topic, you got me right there.

Mmm 🤔
So you were having fun making a mockery of people you perceive to be doing lowly jobs abroad. I’m finding it hard not to judge you. But I won’t.

I Just want you to walk away from this conversation understanding that there’s dignity in legitimate labor. I encourage everyone to never stop aspiring for improvement but there should be no shame in being low at the moment. Cheers

maasoap:

It is in Nigeria too. But why packing shiit and still brag with it just because you're being paid handsomely? We all know that you wouldn't be doing it if you have options.
By "you", I don't mean you

Of course I know you don’t mean me

Also I’ve never seen anyone who’s cleaning bathrooms (also known as janitors) in the west come online to brag about it. It’s usually Nigerians in Nigeria who are often doing the currency conversions and making these comparisons on the internet. Unprompted if I may add.

Normally such people in those jobs know it’s a temporary fix to serve as a stepping stone onto the next things they want to do.

And why the use of the term packing shit? do you think people just shit on the floor for the janitors to come clean up? When there’s a working toilet/s and functional plumbing?

Even your choice of words tell a lot.

I’m not engaged in online business and I’m not sure of what online businesses would be available to you.

I wish you best of luck in your search.

Nopifar:
Good evening all, hope your day went well?

I've been following this page for quite some time now, and I must confess, this page is truly a friendly and 'foody' place.

I've always been fascinated by the amount of maturity shown here and the delicacies being displayed as well, to the extent that I subscribed to Gloryhomemaker's YouTube page and have been enjoying every bit of her culinary expertise.

Also, not to forget other "kitchen gurus" here with impeccable cooking skills like...Mariangeles, GboyegaD, Cococandy, Halcyon123, just to name a few.

Oh God Almighty, how I want to practice some of the food you guys have displayed here, but Naija will not allow me.

However, I am writing here for the sole purpose of requesting for help.

Things have become hard for virtually everyone in the country to a large extent, so, I'm seriously having money issues and attending to family needs has become an herculean task.

In simple terms, I'm broke.

Please note, I'm not asking for money or food stuffs, not at all. I'm asking if there is anyone here who is engaged in any online business, who can show me the ropes on how to make a little headway online.

It's tough for me right now, if there's anyone here who is willing to help, please indicate if possible.

Thanks and I'm sincerely sorry for derailing this beautiful thread.

May God help us all.

You’re welcome. Yea when I saw it, I thought I should mentioned it because it seemed to me that you wanted a kind of equipment that can do multiple tasks all in one.

In fact I think I might give it a try myself since I’m going to be in Germany temporarily and I can’t take my kitchen gadgets with me. This might solve the problem of trying to get a new air fryer, rice cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker etc.

If I do, I’ll let you know if it’s worth it.

Yampotatocarrot:


Thank you for taking your time to explain

Saw the other mention concerning Amazon... That one will be quite expensive as it also does the work of an air fryer... Kind of an all-in-one equipment... "gbogbotigbo"... Lol

Haven't seen it in the stores I've visited sha... I'll most likely go for the pressure cooker

@radautoworks, think I'll just go for the electric, due to the fact that there won't really be any need to babysit it unlike the manual... Although I'll have to confirm from her first, as I saw where you wrote the manual cooks larger meal

Thanks @ all... I'm grateful

Yampotatocarrot:
Please, anyone that has used rice cooker, I get question

Can the rice cooker be used to prepare meals like stew, soup, meat stock, e.t.c, or is it just for preparing rice and boiling egg?

I'll like to know the other meals it can be used to prepare

Also, for those that make doughnuts at home, how do you know when "e don don enter"? (Don't really know how to put it in proper English... How will you know that e don don... You know, to avoid opening the doughnut to find out that the inside is still raw dough)

Thank you

Look. Almost like my phone was eavesdropping on my online conversation because this ad just popped up now as soon as I opened Amazon to order something else. 🤔👀

She really believes there’s a mugu somewhere who’s about to fall in order for her to cash out? When she’s the real mugu? SMH.

Tell her I have a bridge to sell to her

In Nigeria, more than 90% of families are being solely catered for by the husband/father/sons, and even same pattern applies to Nigerian families abroad but online women claim they are the breadwinners of their families but in reality we hardly see the big moneys our Naija women earn both in Naija and abroad, some of them when they want to spend, they spend it mostly on their siblings and parents leaving their husbands struggling to cater for the family alone..

Far from reality

You wonder where we ladies see such yeye men we describe ? Do you ever take time to read what your fellow men post? Or observe the men in your Nigerian society? If you don’t, I encourage you to. You’re not a representation of most men. This information and impression is not coming from a void.

Don’t use men in the USA and their wives who willingly contribute as example. That’s the norm over here. And we have partnerships as the default relationship setting. In fact if we’re to ask a typical Nigerian what they think of these USA men you just described, they’ll say they’re weak, emasculated bla bla bla. So don’t ask me where I saw the yeye men. Ask your country men why they go about on the internet creating the impression that they’re yeye man. Not my fault.

I’m talking about what a typical Nigerian man who lives in Nigeria sees marriage roles as.

franchasng:
The way you ladies portray Nigerian men most times, it makes me wonder if me and many friends and brothers I know deep are from Mars.

My sister, by the grace of God I am an odogwu financially, I earn what qualifies most people to call themselves rich even though I don't classify myself as one based on the people I am looking up to who are billionaires, but I am not doing badly for myself and still I bathe my kids, in fact my son doesn't like any other person bathing him till date unless I am not around. I spoon feed my son anytime I am at home, I feed my daughter and also bathe her sometimes.


I hate dirt, we have domestic helps but I still do some, nobody cleans my room, I do it most times myself. I won't lie I haven't cooked since I got married but I have never bothered my wife or anybody about food cos I am not a food lover and if I feel hungry I can order food or drive to any choice restaurant to eat.


Nobody washes my cars, I take them to car wash, I don't even fancy people who aren't car wash workers washing my car cos I will feel they didn't wash it properly.


Aside cooking, I do everything I need whenever I am in the house, I don't even like stressing anybody; be it my wife or anybody, I love everybody around me being happy and enjoying life. And I take care of my entire family's finances to the last kobo, I can swear with my life that my wife don't contribute anything and I don't hold anything against her. I told her she can always use her income to invest for her kids, help her family members both extended and help people she knows need help. And I don't see it as a big deal cos I derive joy being in charge of my family financial bills, it was something I prayed for as a young growing single man and God have been helping me.


And most friends and siblings I know are doing same or even more, including those living in USA, their spouses contribute willingly not as an obligation. I have friends in the US sponsoring their wives in school 100% and catering for the family without complain and still do chores whenever time permits them without complain.


So I wonder where and how you ladies meet all these yeye men who lord over their wives because they are the breadwinners of their family which is their default role anyway

Kobicove:


There's nothing wrong with being a toilet cleaner per sé but folks should stop making it seem as if it's a role worth aspiring for just so they can brag that they live in Europe or America!

I don’t think anyone said to aspire to that

I’ve never seen that

paxonel:

It's true now, you will even pay more for it.

Do you think they produce cassava in uk that much?

Pls log off

erico2k2:


This one off me

I’m flabbergasted

paxonel:

If you spend one dollar in the uk, you are not getting equivalent value of N2150 don't be deceived.

If half paint of garri is being sold for N2150 in Nigeria for example, you are not going to get that same half paint of garri £1 in the uk. Rather, you will get it as much as between £85 to £130 ,hope you realize that?

Half paint of garri is £85-£130 in UK?

maasoap:

It is an honest way of making a living, no doubt. But let's talk about what you have to put up with concerning such jobs. It is not for a fainted heart.


There is no any issue with them, they just have to do it because that's the choice they have. If they have options to chose from, packing shiit wouldn't be their choice

So why are such jobs not insulting in the Nigerian society but y’all consider it insulting abroad?

I’m not going to outrightly disagree with you. You’ve made a good point about being one’s own boss.

But bear in mind the huge rate at which businesses have failed under Buhari and Tinubu due to Nigeria not being a manufacturing market rather an import market and everything kept increasing making prices unstable and profits unreliable.

Obviously not everyone failed. But you can’t say it means nothing.

maasoap:


That doesn't mean shiit for those who don't plan to serve the system forever but already have their sight on how they want to be their own boss. My brother was laid off some years back during Soludo I guess, today he's far better serving himself.
Sometimes, our choices make or mar us. Imagine a professor migrating from India to Canada, only to be reduced to cab driver because there their education system wouldn't absorb him. Choices!

Brain rot

You don’t even know your own country .

A bank manager kids here in Nigeria will not be indoctrinated into LGBT bullcrap acceptance, be exposed to drag-queens.

Or be arrested if he refused his Kids who has been brainwashed to transition from doing gender transition surgery.

lol okay

their mama dey live on fake life join...I have many bros and sistos there...after paying rent, they live through their nose...

No be me you can bobo here...you can bobo some other mumu..

Gerrard59:

Yes. It's why I asked my friend as I don forget how much Nigerian corporate workers earn. I hope she replies. Those days, I had the raw data but inflation and Buhari have rendered them obsolete

Right. And keep in mind that pay hasn’t gone up in the same way inflation did.

When I was a teenager/adolescent adult, my mom was chief nursing officer in a govt hospital and even for a civil servant that was a nice spot to be. Since that time, income hasn’t been reviewed and they still earn the same income from then. Especially those of them who retired in their positions at that income rate.

You can’t even do much with that same amount of money now. That’s how these conversations come about

erico2k2:

you know in Nigeria in the name of bashing japa, some are ignorant ,that's those who have the means, and the others do not have the means so just follow tha bandwagon to hating or being deliberately being ignorant. You know the same old story of washing dead bodies and plates etc? in my 24 years in the Uk I have never ever met a Nigerian who wash dead bodies,cos U will have to be paid very well too .

You’re so right. Neither have I. It’s a whole ass mortician degree or mortuary assistant certification required for those jobs but we like to talk about what we don’t know .

And what’s the problem with that?

Must everyone be a king?

Kobicove:


A toilet cleaner is at the lowest rung of the ladder socially anywhere in the world no matter how much he is been paid as salary!

Gerrard59:

Yes. But not better than a bank manager. You people really under-estimate how much permanent staff at banks earn. They earn well enough by Nigerian standards.

A toilet cleaner in the abroad better than a bank manager in Nigeria? Ah! God forbid! Some comparisons no be am abeg. Please don't say this in the physical public o

It has to depend on the bank and the level of management

Bigger better bank, probably better benefits.
Like the general manager of diamond bank can’t be the same as one unit manager in sub division of the bank. Or even a small/medium bank.

That’s the problem with all these generalizations

hotwax:


i have started my mama house..will soon complete it...meanwhile, im not placing her on mortgage house..

she is not going to live a fake life..paying mortgage for 35years,,,

Those people living “fake lives” also built houses for their moms in Nigeria and their own houses in Nigeria that they own outright without mortgage just like you . What’s your argument?

This mortgage argument is so dvmb.

maasoap:


There was a thread about one former bank manager who became high rise buildings cleaner abroad. He had to take up that job when the reality of no job at all stared at him

Well one of my CNAs at work used to be a bank manager in nigeria too. She didn’t have a choice as a new immigrant without support to do what you’d consider low wage job as a CNA. Now she’s done with nursing school and passed her Nclex. I’ll be orienting her if she’s lucky to get into the unit where she formerly worked as CNA. This woman is more than 10 years my senior. And she worked with “kids” who probably 20 years her junior as colleagues. You’ll never hear anything negative from her or about her behavior. I know a typical Nigerian madam can’t do that. Or a Nigerian oga.

There’s nothing wrong with a little humility because you’ll go a long way. She already has her eyes on advanced practice education as soon as she gains experience.
Meanwhile her former bank has been bought over in the time she was here and few other managers who worked with her have to be laid off.

I’m not saying everyone has to emigrate but she must have had her reason and I bet she’s glad she did. One thing that must pass is time. If you don’t like where you are, go for the next thing. Even if it requires a few months or years of discomfort to achieve the end goal. She didn’t let the fear of temporarily doing a low wage job stop her.

Is there any category of people who are destined for those jobs? It may not be your choice understandable but what’s denigrating about it?

Denigrating jobs should be things that are illegal. Any honest work shouldn’t be considered denigrating.
Do public bathrooms in Nigeria not have cleaners? Do you guys just let your public bathrooms deteriorate?

What the issue with Nigerians abroad doing such work?

maasoap:


Let's talk about the jobs itself. I can't clean toilets for living. It's a degrading job that exposes you to a lots of worse things. Washing and packing different poos with different odours and colours and forms every single day for a living in exchange for all the benefits that you listed? No waaaayyyyy! You will even eventually lose your sense of smell in the long run! Is that part of the benefits you are talking about? Even as I'm not a bank manager in Nigeria, I can't still envy you for packing shits abroad for living

Emetex22:

You have maid and slaves yen yen, here maids are paid full, u dare not emotionally maltreat them, you will loose your house to them, abroad is not heaven, but your maid comes to work in a decent car and enjoys almost the same amenities as u do

You want to tell a Nigerian madam or oga that their servant deserves a living wage, respect and similar standard of living as them? You must not know us.

Nigerians are very very extremely excessively egotistical people. They want to be lords and masters over anyone around them without actually being qualified to do so.

You can tell by the way they denigrate certain jobs. That’s why they’d rather suffer than do a job they deem to be lowly even if the job solves their financial needs.

That’s why you see them on here thinking they can use “wiping bums” as an insult to CNAs/nurses abroad. As if the sick people in Nigeria are usually left to rot in their own piss and feces. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case since they think it’s an insult to provide dignified care to sick and dying people.

One person on the front page said care giving is worse than cleaning toilet. I imagine it’s the assisting the patient with activities of daily living they consider to be shameful. I’ve never seen this type of behavior anywhere on the internet before except on Nigerian forums.

I believe you

ABANGWABOI:


Exactly..
Reason why I wonder what is wrong with Most Men in Nigeria that they can't discipline and Lord over there wives....
Well.. Na Dem go feel am and would always run around seeking for advice due to their cowardice..

E no concern me.. I be the Sole Captain in my Ship..

She’s providing for you and you’re still the lord in your house.

And you’ll beat her if she realizes to give you money? Okay na

ABANGWABOI:


My brother no mind these useless fools Dem go cry tire...
My woman is under me and I control even where she goes..
I am the Lord in my house....

Sometimes I wonder where this Nigerian men come from.. No Moral to take charge of their homes...
My wife remits 70% of her salary to me monthly and I use it to run the family coupled with my own money ...
Imagine a woman earning and refuse to contribute to o the family... I would beat her black and blue before sending her away from my house sns ending the marriage...
