CrimeRe: Lady Calls Out Lebanese Man For Putting Trafficked Nigerian On Sale by Daboomb: 8:31pm On Apr 21, 2020
Dnonso22:
My problem now is not even the Lebanese trying to sell but Nigerians commenting on this site., what’s wrong that she went to Lebanon to greener pasture... Is the place not a country or what? What our problem should be is this motherfukcin government!!! If we have a good country like every other places., we won’t force ourselves to leave here!!!!

Please,God help and see her through... Doubt if the embassy will respond
I see your point about having a bad Govt, l see your point about if the country was good, she wont have to embark on such journey.
I also agree that what you say is right.

But l have some alternative point of view:
!.) These abuse of Nigerian women in Arab countries did not start today, it been on for many years now and the information is out there, why would our people still be embarking on such journey? Cant they apply the same effort an dmoney used for these travels, to do some business locally and build it up gradually?

2) Should one not balance the risk one is taking, when once pursue a line of business? If the risks are too great or life threatening, shoudl you not close your eyes and let go? WHy must we allow the desperate quest for money make us do ANYTHING, even when the signs of danger or death are staring you in th face and history has tales to tell you about it?

3) Is Nigeria the only country in Africa with bad Govt (not making and excuse for bad governance though), there are bad Govts in close to 80% of of sub-saharan Africa, why is it that it is only Nigerians that exhibit these desperate trait of chasing money at all cost?

Just look around the whole world and see how Nigerians litter Prisons all over, in foreign countries, look at how many have died in Libya and in the Mediterranean, trying to reach Europe in dinghies, see how many are on death row in Asian countries, WHY cant we take a step back and take things slowly, step by step, why do we want to be rich instantly, even at the cost of our lives?

How come citizens of other African countries (and their women) dont exhibit this "excessive desperation to make money at all cost"?
Our problems are deeper than just the Govt though the Govt is a major part of it but we need a complete re-orientation of our values, the things we treasure and respect.
This will start from the homes of each Nigerian. We cant be so agressive about money and expect our offsprings not to be desperate about it and it is desperation that makes someone to offer themselves into such modern slavery, despite the awareness of such possibility already known and exposod to their knowledge!
l wish she gets help as quickly as possible.

This is what desperation can lead someone to. Lebanon of all places?
When we tell people to be careful in this search for golden fleece, they tell you it is their life and they can do anything they like! House Help Job in any of these Middle East countries is like a Death sentence.
Some will say it is because Nigeria is a "shithole" but when things like this happen, is it the nigerian Govt that suffers it?
Just imagine what this lady would have gone through, all in the name of earning foreign currency!

At times, to live moderately and in Peace within Nigeria, might be better than running abroad to put your very existence in danger or even death.
I have discouraged many young women from engaging on this sort of trip to the Middle East, these Arabs that are not white nor Black, have a very bad standard of treatng Black people, especially Nigerians because they know that our Govt will not protect us as needed.

Even within Nigeria, you will see these Lebanese (and Chinese as well) mistreating and abusing our Citizens, yet the Police of Nigeria will still be the ones protecting the Lebanese......just because these Lebanese bribe them with money.
If we dont protect our own citizens, how will foreigners not abuse them?
Infact, the way Nigerians are being abused Left, Right and Center, in foreign countries, really annoys me but some will point it out that: Is it any better within Nigeria?
And l tend to agree with them at times because our security forces have killed a few Nigerians during thi slockdown, when they could just have used minimum force to arrest or disable them

Firstly, I am in this very country you 'love' so much, doing reasonably way (at least well enough not to rant for 365 days in a year, on the absurdity and incompetence of your government. PS your pathetic if you don't think your rants are pretentious, at best). My focus on your claim of wealth is as a result of your pronouncement, that, as long as you have riches and fortunes in Nigeria, you are unreasonably protected from the fall-out of bad governance. Yet, as one who is supposedly living their dream life in Nigerian, and rants like an untamed slug, it is a deceit to be proclaiming that your 'heaven' is better than their developed countries on the premise of your 'fat account'. Now go say your prayers, bombard those thread with your tirades, and 'hope' that you finally strike success at 80 years old. Cheers
PS; I have no desire to prove my financial capacity to you, but I am very confident I do, and I am doing better than you or your family combined, if married.

For someone who claims to be wealthy, your life must be really pathetic. If all wealthy people behaved like you, I'd rather die a poor and miserable death than be a mirror of such dirt. You are the one trying to be noticed; running from one thread to the other, proclaiming how wealthy you are, eroding all sense of decorum, just so that only your views can be accommodated, and finally, heaping blame on the government of a country you seem to love so much. Grow up and stop living in your parent's basement, 'rich-man'.
Even "if" l calim to be wealthy, it is not your money, why should that cause you so much pain? stop hating unnecessarily.

Please ignore @Daboomb, he is not a rich man by all indication; just one frustrated Nigerian who derive pleasure in basking in their ignorance. He may write neatly, but he is definitely bereft of logic and reasoning; to suggest he sounds intelligent by his diatribes, is an insult to the intelligent ones. Intelligence stems from open-mindness and ability to realise your limitation in knowledge(because you can't know all), of which he clearly lacks. To think his measure of success is hinged on the amount of money in you bank account, is a flawed metric. What is money without good health, what is money without good education or security nor the enabling environment to thrive. If he hasn't realised this at his supposed age or claim of wealth, then he is definitely a sham. He feeds off attention: for someone with so much wealth, and comfortable with his present condition in Nigeria, yet he complains miserably at the failures and ineptitude of his government (check his previous post and threads, where he constantly nags). Perhaps he may even be a 'paid' agent for one of these political parties. Get out of here dude and stop derailing this thread.

Demainman1:
I don't have a problem with your English writing......my problem is with your logic....Nigeria is a country where only the rich are happy....should it be like that? NO!

You can praise Nigeria all you like because you are fortunate to be rich...many poor Nigerians abroad are enjoying life more than you...whether you believe or not is not my business.

You are simply living the 'fools paradise'. I can bet my last cent that non of those your children live in Nigeria.
And l dont disagree with you that the disparity in living conditions in Nigeria is unfair.
But you must also agree with me that "enjoyment" is relative because it depends on what you consider valuable to you, which is also dependent on some factors which are unique to each of us.
I am not even praising Nigeria, l am just saying "I enjoy Nigeria and it is not as bad as people say"
You see somebody whose only prayer is to get out of Nigeria because he believes once he leaves Nigeria, he is made!
But you will agree that there are Dustbin pickers abroad, people who sleep on doorways of Companies once they close for the day! Peopel who sleep outside all year round and rummage through the Bins. That is abroad as well, right and that is also below basic standard of living?

Again, l repeat, l am not condemning abroad as bad. Stable electricity is good, steady water, good schools, etc.
All these thing smake abroad good.
BUT can you honesly say that people (not all Nigerians) dont enjoy these things in Nigeria as well?
I and many, many millions of Nigerians enjoy these things they enjoy abroad and many more. I wish more peopel will enjoy it as well but l cant control that, not in Nigeria, not abroad.

If you will, can you please even tell me ONE THING that many people abroad are enjoying, that l am not enjoying or that l cant enjoy here in Nigeria, that would make me to be very desperate, to want to try runningabroad in a dinghy, ove rthe mediterranean

That is where my logic comes in: If you have the money, there is nothing they enjoy abroad that you cant enjoy in Nigeria and there are even things you can enjoy in Nigeria that is nto allowed abroad.
I cited the example of building your house to any design that you like. That is one thing l encountered over there that pissed me off!
All houses in an Estate are exactly alike and that gives for a boring environment.
An arial view of where l live will bring smiles to (y/our) face, just looking at it.
Everyone gives a piece of their feelings and love to their buildings and its so colorful. I like that, maybe you dont appreciate it and l understand that.
We all have different things that we value!
Some dont value Artwork but l pay good money for Artworks and just admiring them gives me joy

Again, l have noticed that as we grow older, what we value also changes, the htings we prioritise also changes.
.
For most younger people on Nairaland, "just go abroad" is a fulfilment grin
Maybe l was like that some decades ago but now, it does not thrill me one bit (I still visit to see old friends who stayed -put and chill out when l want o be alone or just do financial issues)

But l value the "noise and chaotic nature" of Nigeria somehow. I value pumping music that shakes your internal organ on a Sunday evening. I love swimming and walking barechested on the Beach. I love seeing people like myself, l love roasted banana and those minor, minor things of life that l cant get when l am abroad.
And l made most of my money in Nigeria, not even abroad and l still continue to earn enough to keep my lifestyle and have good backup for a rainy day.
If you have a problem with my logic, just take it as "different" from yours and we are still good.
You enjoy your own abroad logic and l enjoy my own local, Nigerian logic, No need to fight over such a simple and mundane thing.
I wont force mine on you and you can keep yours, we are both doung good, right

See shithole logic. So you have to be Dangote ( the richest blackman) or be on forbes list to enjoy basic necessities that the average citizen enjoys in Europe with his taxes. That's why you people suffer. You have this mentality that only people with money should enjoy the basics like quality education or electricity. So of you dont make that Forbes list you roll over and die abi. SMH
Mor00ns like you jump into the midst of an discussion and run your mouth like a broken tap, Idiat without taking time to get the drift of the discussion. That is the classic definition of stupidity.

No one said you have to be rich like Dangotte to enjoy basics of life.
What is basic to someone, is not basic to another, it all depends on the level you operate.
Also, l never said ONLY people with money shoudl elnjoy life, that would be unfair to people who are poor through no fault of theirs.

Now listen, Mr. Stupid, this is the highlights of my angle of the discussion:
- Nigeria is not as bad as people say, that they are so desperate to run abroad and do menial jobs that pay pittance
- There are loads of problems in Nigeria but all of them, l mean all of them, can be mitigated against if you have money in your wallet
- Life in Nigeria is "unregulated" and that freedom, is the essence of living. Life is over-regulated abroad (there are benefits to that as well but individually, it is a drawback because everyone shoudl nto have to live at the same level). That is the basic arguement between Communism and Capitalism.
- Money earned abroad, when spent abroad makes you an average person, you only feel the impact of that money when you change it to Niara and begin to psend it in Nigeria (due to the cheaper, relative cost of living).
- Really Rich Nigerians who have made money, (and this is where l mentioned some names), dont want to live abroad, they always want to live in Nigeria because they know that the nejoyment in Nigeria is unlimited, un regulated and only determined by your own imagination.
If you have the money for example, you can build your house to any taste that give joy to your heart, in Nigeria. No matter how rich you are abroad, if Buildig regulation says Houses in this area cannot be higher than 10M, if yours is higher than 10M by just one feet, you will remove that one feet, even if it is your roof! grin You cant have open parties, you cant play your music as you like it, you cant talk in your "Nigerian voice", everybody must whisper like a mouse, etc grin grin
I have lived the life and l know whatsup.
- Nigeria is the only place where you can multiply your investment crazily and no one will be after you, if a certain amount enters your bank account abroad, Revenue will be on your tail before you know it.

But abroad has its own advantages (calming effect and predictability, mostly; which others who just want to live a "basic, structured life" cherish. That is all good for such people.
But that is not all there is to life, challenges is what gives life, meaning .

You see why most people commit suicide abroad, their life lacks meaning and verve. It is all too regulated and boring.
The average Nigerian is poor but his life is full of "challanges", the sort of things that gives life meaning and makes you want to keep going.
If the Nigerian then makes money on top, l tell you, he will create his own paradise, here on earth and in Nigeria

Dont come back at me with some lame arguement, just for the sake of arguements, l am not here to argue with anyone or prove anything, l have nothing to prove again at this stage of my life.

When you have money in Nigeria or indeed in Africa, 99% of these "issues" are taken care of.

One of my former pastors used to say that there are demons that money can bind. I never knew the meaning until I started stepping into the realm of financial overflow.

Where my house in Abuja is, light has not blinked since Sunday last week. Most people cannot afford to pay rent there. I also have a house in an African country where I spend half the year and I pay the rent there in US dollars. Even the police in that area know that I am not the typical native they see everywhere. When they see me jogging or taking a walk past their checkpoint, they greet me with respect.

These are things that money can do and knowing my circumstances and how they have changed in 20 years, I can compare both sides and tell you categorically that with money, life in Naija can be paradise.

Money has an odour you cannot brush off. You do not even need to be as rich as Dangote to enjoy these things. Just make sure you have at least three to four income streams that bring you 6 figures a month and you are good to go.
The bolded is what majority (not all) of suffer heads cant accept!
They console themselves tha once they live Nigeria, all will be well.
But there are loads of foreigners in Nigeria, come to PH and Abuja and you will see them, who have made money and come down to Nigeria, from their foreign base, to live the good life!
They do things they would never dream-of in US or Europe, over here , because IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

Going abroad is to go and suffer, work hard and make money but coming back to Nigeria is to start to spend and enjoy that money.
If you make money abroad and you stay put to spend the money there, you are just wasting your life.

All the rich people in Nigeria have a foreign citizenship, they carry foreign Passports but they have all refused to go and live abroad!
if abroad-living solves all problems and Nigeria is so bad, why do you think rich people who cherish their comfort more than anything, remian or chose to live in Nigeria.
These people are rich, certtainly not out of stupidity, they ar erich because they have financial sense.

Between living a docile, nobody life abroad where football is the only thing used to cure bordedom and living in a Nigeria with all its downsides, with good money, l will chose Nigeria, over and over again.

I have lived both places for long and l have taken the best choice out of the two.

Don't deceive yourself a low salary earner in Australia makes over 1.5million Nigeria naira a month

Do the maths

I bet u don't make half of that in a year

Keep fooling yourself

You can't even get a visa with your passport right now

Person wet dey sleep for mat no fit know say foam better pass

Not to talk of using pillow
#1.5M = 6,000 Australian Dollar = $3,800 US
First, Dumb people like you like to convert how much they earn outside Nigeria, to Nigerian Naira, to make believe they have money when in actual fact, if you live and work in Australia, you will have to pay your rent/mortgage in Australian Dollars, pay transport, health and Motor Insurance, Road tax, Tuition, etc in that same currency, not in nigerian Naira. grin grin
I know nobody pays you A$2,000 every week so all those lie that you earn that you ear A$6,000 in one month has exposed you as a liar but even at that, Your Mortgage in Australia will take at least A$2,000 out of your income every month, so what do you have left? Peanuts.
Meanwhile, a person in Nigeria who earns 700K monthly and pays 100K monhtly on rent, is far richer and far better than you that earns the #1.5M equivalent in Australia, a miserly. You folks are just sufferhead that sruggle to live from hand-to-mouth and that is why people say abroad people are misers when infact they are not as rich as they pose to be.
You come to Nigeria for two weeks and blow all your savings for the year, to impress those you left behind and those ones too think you have made money! grin grin

I know your other Moniker and l know you are a struggler, from your previous posts.
How much is 1.5M? What can it do? Only if you know.
People that l trained years back, negotiate that amount at interviews in a senior banking Position and you this Australian Fruit Picker is sounding like it can do much over here is Nigeria? grin grin

A 3Bed in my house costs just about that per annum and you still gotta add Utilities to it.
Your problem is that you grew up in Poverty, your were scatched by Poverty and just because you managed, (amybe yo uare even lying but l cant verify it so l will jus take yo at your words), as in manage with lies upon lies, to get a part time work Visa to Australia, picking Apples and other Fruits in the Field during Winter season, work that native Australians would never do, you think you have arrived?

As your self, what have you done with money in your life? What is your Bank balance, consistently, within the year? If there is an urgent need for say #20M by one of your family members, can you put it down without it affecting you financially to the point where you have to cut down on your normal lifestyle? If your answer is NO, then you are still a small fry and a learner as l said.

Go ahead and keep paying your Mortgage Debt for the next 35years of your miserable life, you will struggle and struggle till retirement grin living and working like a Whiteman's Slave in Australia, meanwhile, when you come back to Nigeria, you will realise your friends have left you behind, a long time ago.
I have had enough fun with you and l dont need any more back and forth from you.
Dont infect me with "abroad" poverty.

Quick question did you guys fire the idiots extorting people for their passports? It's interesting how government agencies are ready to tackle these sort of trivial issues. They should not do the challenge in uniform if it's agsinst their code of conduct.
Honestly., all these backward Mallams think whatever they dont like, whatever they cant eat, nobody else must like or eat it.
That idiotic Asst Comptroller of Immigration is the one who needs to be sacked because the fool left more important thing and he is chasing shadows.
I am sure it is because those involved are Southerners (from the look of it) and jealousy and hatred, is what is setting his brain on fire.
What has that two seconds appearance in the Video, got to do with Sabotage?
I bet it wont be Unprofessional if they wore it and were bowing down and hitting their head on the floor in prayer to Allah or hiding a b*mb under it! Shege-banza.
If we talk about Sabotage, then the Asst Comptroller should be in jail because he cant Police our Border adequately, Passport application and collection is still a nightmare at all our embassies/Consulates worldwide, Nigerians are being harrssed and intimidated in China without anyone (except one Mr. Rasaki who challeneged the Chinese) standing up for them at immigration and foreign affairs, foreigners are flocking into Nigeria from all holes in our border yet for decades, Mr Comptroller has no clue what to do about it but suddenly he saw beautiful Southern Immigration babe in a video, he wants to develop Coronavirus B.P!
The ral disrespect to the uniform is wearing it and asking or collecting bribe while it is on.

The fool cannot do anything about all his Northern staff at Nnamdi Azikwe Airport harrassing tarvellers and asking "What do you have for us", because they make returns to him.
Imagine! "SABOTAGE", just for twisting in Uniform!
Dumb Motherfucker.
Touch those ladies and you will hear something.
What manner of stoopid Mallams did Buhari unleash on this country or are we now federal republic of Nigerianistan?

God bless you abundantly. I am here in Nigeria and most of these things I just hear about I don't experience any at all. I wonder when we will start seeing potential in Nigeria. Everyone just wants to travel abroad sha
See, we cant blame some people for what they say.
You can only talk out of your own experience or if you are the smart type, talk out of the experience you learned from others.

To be honest, l once thought once you go aborad, all your problems are solved and you should just stay put over there but that was some decades ago but with time, you settle aborad, enjoy all there is to enjoy and then you ask yourself: WHAT NEXT?

That is when it dawns on most people that you need to start thinking about Home, Nigeria.
Almost all the important people in Nigeria have a foreign Passport, in case they need to visit abroad in a hurry but none of them wants to live abroad on a permamnent basis because they know what most people like that JJC dont know. grin
They know that if you have money, if you have sense and you are intelligent enough to know where to put your Money, Nigeria is the place to really enjoy your life.

For example, l tell my Architect, this is how l want my house to look like, he gives me a beautiful design, the way l ordered it and l buld it. End of story.
I look at the work of Art and it gives me joy but we all know you cant try that abroad,
ou build (if you are allowed to build by yourself at all) according to how all houses in the area must look and that is why most of these people abroad are depressed in their neighbourhoods and just wake up one day and start shooting the hell out of everybody. grin grin grin

Why should l bother about epileptic Power Supply when my Roofs are bulging with Solar Panels?
I even share light as "street lights" because the public Power supply is not that too reliable in some areas l have property.

And if you are sauve, there is plenty of money to be made in Nigeria because of the huge population, latent demand and (not prud to say this), lax controls.
But idle fools are everywhere crying and moaning, instead of asking themselves: What do people need and are ready to pay for, that l can provide, as a goods or services?
That is how to forget all those long list of complaints.

Even that once that managed to go to Australia, of all places, doing labourer work (maybe Picking Apples in horrible snow grin l respect working people though, work is work but work also pass work) thinks he has arrived and want to insult Nigerians that can feed him, pay his rent and even offer him holidays, in cash! grin
How many people in Australia are richer than Dangotte, l am not even talking about struggling immigrants, l am talking about native Australians, son of the soil?
Abeg, leave these people, they will leanr with time.

A county that there is no electricity

A country everyone drives against traffic and no one obeys traffic lights.

A country with no security

A country more than 80% of the population live in slums

A country were minimum wage is less than a dollar an hour

A country people have no food to eat

A country with no social welfare

A country with no free health care

A country that has no facility to take care of disabled and aged population

I could go on and on

Don't be fooled u can never compare witj any developed country

Any one who says otherwise is a big liar
Ooh, just ShutUp, you are still a little fry.
When you finsih paying your Mortgage and the house is really yours and not the bank's own, when you have trained children to University level and you can come to visit Nigeria without begging peole like us to open a vacant flat for you to stay for the four weeks of your stay because you are afraid of cheap Hotels and cant afford the exclusive ones, come back and insult me, l will gladly oblige.
Just because you now live in Australia as a foreigner immigrant, does not mean you have become somebody in life.

I am certain that the day a native Australian slams your black ass and show you that you are just a "worker" here, you will remember this post.
Make some money, invest wisely and come home to enjoy the fruit of your labour.

I am presently in Australia

Living the life you dream of


And just so you know all those food posted here are cheap

Na jjc dey worry about food

And truth be told my life is way better than when I was in nigiera

I earn what you can never imagine

I have my own house though I am still paying mortgage

Nigeria is a waste of time


Travel and see


People like you are the ones always begging for money


And I visit Nigeria...it is pathetic

People live like animals

Actually worse
.
Animals here are treated with more respect
Bros, you are a learner, l dont like forming online because there is no way for you to verify whatever l say, so it makes no sense.
I built my third storey buillding last year, l did not borrow a Kobo, l have nevered taken a loan in Nigeria, it was all done cash. My other house has been offset with cash, after ten years.
My rental incomes alone are enough for me to retire because of the location l chose to build in.
I have travelled and seen the world, long before you dreamt of stow-waying to Aussy, on a study Visa, now l am chilling in Nigeria and having fun.
Kids are almost all on their own but l like to flow with the younger generatiosn and l love young bloods, makes me feel younger. grin
I dont eat frozen poultry or Meat, it must be fresh, slaughtered and prepared immediately. Cheap, mass-produced food you buy in Target, Walmart, Tesco, Woolsworth, Acme, Carrs, Aldi, etc, are now behind me.

How many years have you spent abroad that you are forming Yankee? How many Ciizenships do you have, you are probably still on residency sef? grin
Just a Mortgage (25yr- 35yr debt and you can be repossed if you lose your job and cant pay your monthly due, is what you are proud about? angry
You are in what l call eternal slavery and you dont even know it. What would you do if you were fired from your job suddenly, in ordinary times like two years ago? How would you pay your mortgage if you dont get another job in three months? grin undecided)
I collect monthly rent from someone like you, somewhere in the WEST and dude does not understand how we Nigerians "think" when he lost his job some years back and l told him to spread his rent lease over three Months, after he gets another job! Dude was like waoh, l never knew Nigerians were like this! Because his rent is just a part of the income. undecided
That's neither here not there.

Until you see how those considered as "real animals" are treated, you wont know what it means for you to have a black skin in a whiteman's country! Your case is even sorry because you are in Australia, one of the most racist, (coming behind places like Hungary) countries in the world.
Go and read about what happened the Australian Aborigenes.
Go and ask Nigerians living in China at this Moment, about how they feel! they are all begging to be evacuated back to Nigeria, righ tnow.
grin grin

Where you visit and the people you roll with, might inform your opinion of Nigeria, l understand that, it is for you to be in the right setting.
When you visit Nigeria again, give me a shout before you come and let me take you around (at no cost to you).
I always say if you have not lived legally as a citizen in Europe or North America, for at least ten years, dont come back and be saying Nigeria is this or that because your life experience is still limited.

Why did l even write all these sef, l have broken my own rule never to talk about myself online, l hold you responsible for that, l am begining to feel a sense of guilt. .
Like l said, you cant verify nothing here, so take it as bullshyte. undecided

Our people dont sit back and decode what is going on at all!
Have you ever heard Dangottes, Otedolas, Jim Ovias, Elumelus, Tinubus, Mike Adenugas, etc or any of the NASS members say Nigeria is a bad place to live or they wanna leave the country to live abroad?
WHY IS THAT?
Even retired Senator Dino Melaye has not brooched the idea of finally relocating shocked

The truth is that if you have money in your Pocket, Nigeria is a Paradise! Even the bad security situation will be covered and adequately mitigated against.
But Poor, sorry azz people all over the place are wide-eyed anytine they see someone from abroad showcasing some Chicken Laps, Groceries and small forex Change.

If you want to make a Prayer, ask God to bless you enough in this Nigeria, dont ask God to relocate you abroad.
Look at someone like Governor of Lagos (babajide Sanwo Olu) who was living jejely in the UK, he still found it important and necessary, to come back to Nigeria ot enjoy the good life!
Why did he not contest for as a Mayor in the UK but came to be Governor in Lagos or is it that he does not know that Lagos is a bad-azz city?
He would have been dead by now, if he was still living in the UK because l am cerain he would have attended that Octogenarian Birthday party where they served Coronavirus for them as dessert. grin grin

Was 800 Euro given to everyone throughout EU really? By whom, ECB in Frankfurt to impose a uniform amount for every EU country? Do those still at work also get that money?

Which categories including you are not qualified to get the money?

I hear from Nigeria that everyone is getting free money abroad. They forget that certain types of professions like essential workers still just do the jobs as normal. Even working flat out right now and not getting any extra cent for free.

People also forget that 800 Euro is not much in some countries depending on cost of living. Won't even pay for monthly accommodation be it rent or mortgage for many people.
Dont mind them, 800 Euros will not pay One Month House Rent for a Single Room with own toilet, in a shared Flat, in most E.U Countries.
That same amount will pay six months rent for a Two bedroom flat in most places in Nigeria. grin

But been preciledged (Priviledged) to try lots of different dishes from different continents

And we all have dff taste buds but what do you know.... you sentimental prick
Use your brain, People die everywhere!
Half-educated nitwits with very low mental capacity like you, are always salivating about food, food and food all the time, like your life depends on food.

Do you know that Italy lost close to 23,000 humans and Spain lost close to 20,000 souls within the same period?
Nigeria lost less than thirty (30) souls, within the same period .....and still counting though.

Count your blessings as a Nigerian, as bad as it were, (even if it were just two people killed), Boko haram did not kill 21,000 in one month.

Then you start thinking and working on smuggling yourself to Europe, through Libya and on rickety boats but since you are lucky, you die on the way in Libay or you get eaten by sharks on the Sea grin ......... and that is the story of your sorry life, when your mates in Nigeria are making waves, making money and enjoying a full and fruitul life.

Going abroad will not solve the problem of short-sighted misfits like you, las las, you will die of over-eating because food cost nothing over there
