Wow thanks for this, how was the experience on the ship, no racism or abuse whatever towards you been African?

Kaido:
There is nothing archaic in saying that Ethiopia got most beautiful women in Africa. If you think Nigeria or Ghana women fine pass, good for you na your choice...I respect that.


Learn to respect people's choice.

please did you plan your cruise ship adventure from nigeria? That's something on my bucket list too, but I got to realise most of the cruise companies port of departures are far from africa and you know visa issues.

thesolosister:
Last year September, I finally ticked Turkey off my bucket list. I’m a Nigerian women from Port Harcourt, and I had been saving for almost a year for this trip. My main goal was to explore Istanbul and taste their food I always saw on YouTube.

The visa process was not too stressful because I applied early. I booked a cheap Airbnb near Sultanahmet Square so I could walk to most tourist spots.

On my first morning, I visited the Blue Mosque, architecture is out of this world. Then I got lost in the Grand Bazaar (and I didn’t mind at all 😅). I bought a handmade scarf for my mum and some Turkish delights that almost finished before I came back.

My favorite part of the trip was the Bosphorus cruise at sunset. Sitting on the deck, watching the city lights reflect on the water, and hearing the call to prayer in the background… it felt magical.

One funny thing is "a shop owner thought I was from Brazil until I told him I was Nigerian". He smiled and said, “Nigeria... Good football” 😂

Honestly, Istanbul is a place I would visit again. If you love history, food, and shopping, just go. You won’t regret it.

Putindbutt:
He's throwing stones at himself, he increased poverty in Anambra when he was Governor. He left them poorer than he met them. Your media chochocho keeps demarketing you and exposing your hypocrisy.
And no reasonable person with a working common sense will cite the present Argentina as an example. Millei recently borrowed $20billion from world bank, imagine Tinubu borrowing that kind of money, it is hypocrite like Obi that will carry vuvuzela blowing it to the world, but same person is praising Millei. As at today, Argentina is one of the most expensive countries in Latin America with one of the lowest purchasing power. Trash!

JuanDeDios:
He likely is. I'm no fan of Mr Tinubu, but anyone that thinks Mr Buhari is better than him or any other president needs their head examined. With this statement, Mr Amaechi loses my vote - if he ever had it.

WizardOfNG:
Absolutely. Amaechi is hghly and condemnably irresponsible in both words and action. A total disaster.

I've lived away from Nigeria for many years starting from early teens so I've been influenced by other nations.

It is returning to Nigeria and formally engaging in business ownership that has shown me Nigeria is the worst nation in the world per those totally unfit for political and public administration leadership gaining important positions.

Look at UK politics for example. Keir Starmer is a fitting Prime Minister who deserves office from being a dogged, ever present and valiant leader of the Labour Party who led them to victory because he was always available to espouse the merits of the Party and reiterate the need for the British people to vote Labour.

Atiku, after losing election, returns to Dubai and totally abandons/neglects the affair of the political Party he ran on to then show up four years latter demanding to be President. How can any sane and fairly politically sophisticated Nigerian vote for such a character who'd be viewed a caricature, aberration and joke in British and European politics?

In fact, Atiku is a tragic reminder of how politically unsophisticated, to their own detriment, most Nigerians are.

I want honest people, whoever they support, to really reflect on issues and point to any Politician who wants to be President in 2027, other than Tinubu, who practices Party politics as Starmer and his peers in the West do.

Tinubu is always exemplarily available working hard relentlessly and dedicately for any Party he has built and helping such reach the apex of Nigerian politics be it ACN or APC.

He gives his all demonstrating always, as an example of desirable world best practice , what fit and proper political leaders , who should be in charge of the lives of an electorate , must be about.

Even Datti Baba Ahmed recently praised Tinubu's special and unique quality of building his ambition to be President over decades of loyalty and devotion to sacrificing for others selflessly and doing the right thing [b]always by his political Party and affiliates.

He warned ADC they would fail if they do not have leaders whose main interests are genuinely about what is best for Nigeria and can sacrifice for her greater good as Tinubu has consistently done.[/b]

From Atiku, Aregbe, El Rufai, Malami, Babachir Lawal and Obi to Ameachi etal, they are all disloyal and desperate opportunist jumping ship in pursuit of selfish ambitions to then be attacking the political Party they have departed yet previously swore was the best to deliver Nigeria.

It is nauseating and saddening to watch as an exposed individual. I.e the lack of principles and enduring political ideology by so many politicians bar a few like PBAT, Bode George, Ken Nnamani etal.

If I had the power of God, I'd simply instil requisite political sophistication in every Nigerian adult, so they can see what truly matters , because I believe that is what Nigeria needs, more than anything else, to become truly great.

Canada sheds tens of thousands of jobs as Trump’s tariffs dent plans

OH, CANADA: The country lost tens of thousands of jobs in July, pushing its employment rate to an eight-month low — an early sign that U.S. tariffs are starting to reshape the trade landscape in favor of American industry.

helinues:
President Tinubu has already advised Nigerians to live within their means. If you can't afford the running of a car, sell it off

A business person making 10k per day has a turnover of 250 to 300k monthly
The farmer harvests crops that are worth millions annually and majority of Nigerians are farmers, though banditary has affected the profession

I don’t think that statistics is true as regards to the working population

If they qualify it and say the entirety of Nigeria, perhaps, because Nigeria has a very young population is not yet employed. But if drawing the pay scale or ga or a country, you use only people of working age which is 15 to 64

Firebox123:
they just want to spoil tinubu government ni

Nothing more

yemre:
Of course there is freedom of speech but it has to be with an open mind. This is a credit scheme targeted at the youth to encourage productivity.

For crying out loud, we all know that an average fresh graduate has potentials, has ideas on what to do even while going into the labour market.

It has never happened in this country before, for a government to unveil a single -digit credit scheme and extend it to the youth corp members without collateral or guarantor.

It is also a known fact that the number of qualified graduates far outweighs the available jobs and I can tell you for free that majority of these people have one skill or the other that can actually help them achieve their dreams.

Now that the government has realized this and come up with a solution, the first thing somebody could say is "the government is about loans, loans, loans!".

That is unfair.

If he was a fresh graduate and has a skill that he just needs a little push to start something, he wouldn't say that.

You don't have to discredit every effort of the government. If there are things that are yet undone, call their attention to those things and make separate cases for them.

Thank you

Most Obi followers are just doing that to deceive him, they know he never solve a single simple problem. They know he is never productive otherwise how selling other people products as a marketer becomes production? Once the manufacturer stop supplying Obi then his business fails
3rd class philosophy is doing what he studied, to work on people emotional intelligence vis talking.

A thief is someone that kept a while state money in the bank of his own for 8 years and quickly rejected the pension from the state as former governor to get public recognition. Intelligent people knows him.

Jagaban is a wealth creator and it's clear as a financial guru) economist. Ask yourself the factories of late wigwe , Jim ovia, tiny Elumelu etc

Bro, I’ve been to a lot of Africa countries including SA and I can tell you boldly that no country is better than Nigeria in Africa..

This is fact, not dem say, dem say..

dey play. Tinubu would beat Obi silly

emkz:
I do not seek to be better than anyone. That is a low standard for myself. I rather seek to improve on who I was the day before.

Please, it is riff-raff, not "rift rafts". If I am a riff raft to you, I would never wish to be anything else to you so long as it causes you pain.

emkz:
By showing that things don't get to you.

Before you engage some people, give it time, and do not jump to prove yourself to anyone.

That is where many people miss it.

Here on Nairaland, I used to mistake and respond to some fellows. After baiting you with insults, they'd now report you to the moderators, and you'd earn a ban. When I realized the game, I told myself that someone at my level or better than me would not insult me. It is only those who are below and feel inadequate who say nasty things about others. There was one case where someone was attacking me. I realized later that the person had personal struggles of depression and petulant behavioural disorder. It doesn't reflect on you; it reflects on them. So disengage so you don't put yourself under their power.

Instead of engaging, see them as those not doing enough and need validation from your acknowledgement of their insults. Withdraw that acknowledgement and watch them frustrated. Their frustration is your victory.

Finally, read books on mind control and meditation. It would help you take control of your thoughts. Please never let anyone provoke you with insults. Someone insulted me, threatened me that I'd be fired and said all sorts. All he wanted was a fight to claim assault. I was within my rights to punch him. But punch him hard and he hits the back of his head on a hard surface and blood follows. You'd be held in prison. So before you allow any fellow push you to react because of the things they say, picture yourself in prison uniform. Then ask yourself if you want to ruin your life for a nobody.

PS: Please invest in yourself. Dress neatly and well. When you are walking, raise your head up and walk as if you own the environment. When you talk to people, maintain eye contact. Think of the times you won things for yourself and proved yourself right, not when you proved others wrong. You are not existing to prove them wrong, but to prove yourself right. Avoid ever capitulating to those saying nasty things because you want them to stop. Just use silence as your weapon, and that would break them. In other words, learn not to send anybody papa. Use these strategies for yourself and it would evoke a strong feeling of confidence and security.
