You know we have one of the largest (I dare say the largest) representation of black immigrants abroad. So we are well represented in good and evil. cheesy cheesy The ratio is just grossly imbalanced.

Men with money are always givers. That’s why their cash flow never runs dry. The joy dey get from giving is something they love.

But you see those hungry ones whose eyesight have been destroyed by too much garri drinking

I don’t know why they keep doing that conversion, because earning almost 1m is a lot in Nigeria. Someone earning that amount would be far from poor by Nigerian standard.

Black kids are more interested in sports and entertainment. Someone once complained to me that he went to the UK and he kept looking for Nigerians (blacks) in certain sectors. I guess they are okay with earning and sending some back home for building projects. Every other thing is jara.
But yet they always claim they are the most successful immigrants in the abroad undecided

I am making this post to thank Rawlingsko for a very seamless transaction. This was my first purchase on nairaland and of course, I was a bit apprehensive. embarassed

But he not only reassured me, he went ahead to deliver exactly what he promised. I got my stuff today at a bargain price and I am thankful. smiley

Thank you to Rawlingsko and to everyone else who keeps this corner of NL sane. kiss

You know what, don't be surprised if it was the business that was paying his bills in the UK.

When his father died, the business suffered and could not pay his bills again, so he decided to come and manage it himself.

I have relatives in Nigeria that are sending annual grants of up to $30,000 from their family business to each of their children in the US, the family business also pays the school fees of their grandchildren, assists with mortgage payments etc. The parents are now in their 80s, let us hope the workers will be faithful by the time the founders are gone. If not the children might be forced to sell the business to the workers and management at giveaway prices.

I am sure some workers are already warming up to divert their share for long-term service.

But I have always said that I will follow wherever the Yorubas are going to if Nigeria decides to break up.

I have been a beneficiary of that tribe's kindness and it's something I will never take for granted.

pocohantas:


From her chat with her friend, she was scared. She had the feeling something could go wrong. She told her friend “let me share his contact, in case I loss”. Her friend told her to put on her location and she confirmed it is on.

What kind of interview holds by 4pm in the outskirts of a town? Everything was wrong from the onset.
Poco, there is a book that talks about this type of scenario. It teaches how to pay close attention to your guts and fears as they are nature's alarm system.

The book is titled 'The Gift of Fear' by Gavin de Becker. Please if you can find time to read it, do so. You can also recommend it to your friends, especially women.

Edited to add that it is available as a free PDF on pdfdrive.com
Food / Re: A Rookie Guide To Cooking Premium Nigerian Stew (pictures) by Coolabbie: 4:10pm On Jan 27, 2021
I tried this recipe exactly as it was written.
I almost added onga at the last minute because I believed it was what made my stew sweet. And also because I doubted I would like it. Before onga, my stews used to be apology.
But since I wanted to follow this recipe to the letter, I omitted it as directed.

The result?

I cannot stop eating my stew. Something that I made to last me for one month is almost finishing in two weeks!
I am even planning on getting the nonstick pots so I can properly fry the stew for long, as directed. Couldn't do so with the regular pot because the stew was burning.

I am also considering trying some of the other recipes posted by the op. And this is coming from a slay queen that does not like cooking grin

Thank you Pocohantas. I am no longer born throway, you have helped me increase my bride price grin

The verification is something else. I'm tired of turning my head around already. However, how do you link your Payoneer to the app? Do you need to have a Payoneer card?
Yes you need to have payoneer card

Thanks for the information. It's their rate for me. Kuda bank is easy and fast but the rate is just 370-372 there about. I'll try it and see what rate they'll give me.
The rates are also why I am using them. It also helps that transaction is fast and easy. Their verification might be a bit of hassle but for that rate, it is worth it.

Guys, you can use Eversend app to withdraw your money from Payoneer at competitive rates.

Eversend is a Ugandan fintech company. Simply go to play store and download the Eversend app or use this link:
https://eversend.page/7cKe

You will be asked to fill in your details including mode of identification.
During identification, you will have to take a video selfie to verify your account.
Once your account is verified, you can then input your Payoneer card details.
At this point, the app will request permission to withdraw $1 from your Payoneer account. They won't chop your money; it will be in your account.
When this is completed, you can then start to use the app.

My last withdrawal which was early this month was $1 - 455. The exchange rate follows the fluctuations in the market so it is not steady.

Note: I am not a marketer for the company, just a freelancer like you. But if you sign up with the above link, we both get #400. Enough for data grin

But there are people who built in your neighborhood, even the one you rented was built by someone.

If you were to start looking to get your own house, would you be financially capable enough to build/buy one in that same neighborhood, considering how much you're already spending on rent?
It wasn't long ago I finished NYSC, not looking to build anything soon. One month income pays my rent. I'm good.

I will speak for myself and my experience.

I live in such a neighborhood and I love it. The calibre of people I have met just walking down my street is something that would never have been possible if I was living in low-income neighbourhoods.

Twice, I have gotten job offers without any mention of cv. One of them works closely with the governor, the other owns a radio station.
The people that offered me this job did not know me from Adam, they only know I am a neighbour.

Besides, nothing beats the inspiration gotten from walking around your neighbourhood and seeing beautiful mansions, clean streets, and breathtaking landscaping.

The quiet, the serenity, the security is something I will not trade.

The sun even hits different here walahi grin grin

Please, don't do it if you can't afford it. But if social mobility is your thing, then it should definitely be an option.

Family / Re: Why Your Diasporan Friends And Family Do Not Send You Money When You Ask. by Coolabbie: 5:58pm On Jun 01, 2020
rhames:


How can they send you money when :

They pay weekly rent instead of annual rent and they pay the equivalent of what you pay annually in a month?

They pay more for food and clothings?

They are heavily taxed for breathing simple air?

They struggle to buy Sunday and Friday clothes to put on and be neat and even buying casual clothes is hell?

I have never sought either financial or any assistance from any of my relations abroad for anything because my own uncle spent close to thirty years there as a civil servant and retired back here in Nigeria and still receives pensions here through the UK High Commission here. He had little to show for his stay there.

I am an advocate of struggle and never of begging. When I lost my job, i sold my car and a lot of other assets and invested in shares and real estate. Today i have a business and a chartered accountant and a Ph.D. holder. Please stop begging them money. Concentrate on your talents and let it work for you and pray very very very hard to have a brakthrough in your lives.

God Bless Nigeria.
Wow!!!

God bless you too
