This guy in movies always have problem in his marriage. Most especially child bearing.

His mother always end up bringing him a very "fertile" girl from the village who would bear kids for him. . The idea is that he should kick out his infertile wife and take in the village girl.

He always kick against it coz he loves his wife so much. This usually ends in a feud between his mother and him

I guess you still have DVDs/VCDs of them at home. You too know the guy.

Always caught between his mother's and wife's manipulation.

I understand your frustration, but we can’t dismiss everything about 9ja just like that. Yes, the system is rough, messy, and sometimes feels like 1+1 equals -633, but not everything here is a total waste. Even in developed countries, their systems didn’t get perfect overnight—they went through decades of corruption, failed policies, and trial and error before building what we admire today.

The truth is, if everyone who sees the faults simply checks out and says “I’ll only invest abroad,” then the cycle here never breaks. The same corrupt system will continue unchecked because the very people who know better have left their hands off.

It’s not about putting all your life savings in Nigeria, but at least recognizing that local opportunities do exist. Small, strategic plays here can still yield returns, especially because the market is underdeveloped and full of gaps waiting for smart minds. Abroad gives you safety, but at home there’s also leverage if you know where to look.

I like your optimism. I was a bigger preacher of "9ja will be great" just 20 years ago. Invested in farming, livestock, stock market, healthcare products, etc. Even the so-called real estate that tenants will rather sue you to court than vacate their flat for the landlord or pay up?

In the end, people you trusted turned out to be total fraud. Even blood ties has no value in 9ja these days.

So, why should one continue? To lose even more money?

Anyway, may be some people have the stamina for it. I don't have such any more.

Hamachi:
Kindly read on Stick split and what happened when companies merge. Knowledge they say is power.

Listen, I bought shares like 30 years ago abroad already. Don't tell me about any useless knowledge that 9ja flips on its head. A place where 1 + 1 can be -633?
Is the way 9ja runs corrupt democracy that serious countries run it?

My mistake was to believe that things work in 9ja as they do in countries where the people and govt mean well for themselves.

I don't need it. I keep my little money invested where it has always worked before the 9ja misadventure.

Unless you are a big player, or can have insider tips, all these book metrics hardly matter. I believed all these about 20 years ago and invested. Then the banks began their abracadabra merger and acquisition. Na so 10 shares go turn to 3 shares, 2000 shares turn to 350 shares. I don't think even Newton, Gauss or Euler could have worked out the equation they used.

Na story e take end.

You better pity yourself if you cannot afford simple flights to Nigeria. I got a one way ticket from Toronto to Lagos for $3,200 on Royal Air Maroc.
If your earn dollars in Nigeria, have your own home with solar power, good security in a double gated estate and spend in Naira, Nigeria can be HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Never make the mistake to assume everyone has the same experience in Nigeria and if you cannot afford a flight from Denmark, you might be better off in Nigeria.
Africa is the next ftontier for investments opportunities as the west is getting saturated.

Wow at bolded. I would never spend that on a single flight. Not if someone's life wasn't at stake or some other serious situation.
That amount would help many schools kids from our charity organisation on ground.

Yes, I have spent almost 3 times the bolded for a family's summer holiday, adjusted for today's inflation.
Air Maroc don hammer.

As for the double-gated house, that suggests an elitist mentality. No country serious about going forward would compel citizens to live in a double-gated housing just to be safe and live a normal life.
Put yourself in the shoes of 80% of the people, the majority who struggle.

I used to go to 9ja at least once or twice yearly around 25 to 10 years ago. Now I don't. The poverty is too much there. It's sad to see.
May be you can lock yourself up somewhere safe in 9ja and pretend all is well.

I can see why Trump wants to stop funding so much around the world.

They need to focus on upgrading their infrastructure, military equipment and human services.

China with ororo equipment is surging ahead. AI-driven chassis facilities and infrastructure.

9ja should learn from it and stop playing big brother in Africa. Other Africans will still go and thank the West for it.

The ties with Brazil that Tinubu is developing is one thing I support.

But out there, they claim self-made man.

The money was good. The connections and licences he got opened even more doors.

No real 9ja rich man/woman without political money.

Even Cosharis, one of the most honest businessmen out there, still benefitted from govt contracts to supply cars.

kenneth888:
this is insane .... She is confused and mad .... but how come the wife is already threaten the young man to leave ... Thats why i love African women or rather Nigerian women .... Better fight for don start sinnnnnnnce,,,

Women easily believe women in that situation.
Each woman has been programmed to believe her hubby can easily cheat. Whereas men foolishly believe their wifey cannot cheat.

So, men currently have over 30% kids from other men outside under their roof as "false biological" children.

SuperEagles:
I laugh when i see ypur likes make this comment. I sent my wife to ths UK cause she wanted to study n banking on securing COS with which we all can migrate so if we do few montha feom now you will claim she sponsored me abroad. ?!

Note I paid every single kobo evwn incuring debt I am yet to settle. Continue clowning thinking you fool anyone. No Naija can sponsor a man abroad no matter how wealth she or her family is. It does not happen.

See my post above yours. You know some people can't think that far.

Nazgul:
Didn't you read the article, the wife is the one who brought him over.

But did they say how she first came to the UK? The guy may have sold property to send her to UK.

The word "dependent" suggests more like the recent Master's student parole sponsorship, though it can be other spousal stuff.

Problem is, the guy might even have beaten her. Just make a claim and authorities eager to reduce immigration will believe it. As a man, no chance. a woman can claim "self-defence" and weaker sex things. Nor be UK again? We don see all sorts before.

If the guy was really foolish enough to really beat her, he deserved his deportation.

Oo0Oo0Oo0:
Never heard about him. Rest in peace, anyway.

How many more characters remain?

9ja turned him down, so he went to play for Benin Republic.

RIP.

KIDfurniture:
It is not tinubu’s money - DNA price should be subsidized . May we never be a victim of kidney problem.

Very necessary.
But abortion rate will sky-rocket if DNA test is subsidised.

Drogba inspired Osihmen to greatness too. He said alot about his support while playing the Under 17 world cup.

Drogba na Ororogba for doings.

He understand the European system.

flyinnizam:
US embassy don't care about your scholarship. Let him go to Europe or scholarship students don't apply for visa? Getting Visa date alone is frustrating. Say what u know. He can apply for phd through US embassy in Europe after his European tour

He can even do PhD in Germany after that and go for post-doc in USA. His African and European links will be vital in future research that value international collaboration.
While in Germany, he can connect with Swiss and Austrian scientists too.

Bahamas95:
I don't have problem with B and C.

But you see that "A"? If I say what's on my mind I will chop ban..

I wonder where they expect A to carry anybody to. Across to where na?

Na wa o.

So people can built house so close the mighty ocean.

So that they can say good morning to Mammy Water or what?

If at all, houses like this should be specially built.

Imagine a Tsunami caused by an earthquake somewhere not far in the Atlantic. What will happen here?

Lovelies1:



But on a serious note. If he had beg that amount of money from them will any of them have given him such amount.

He is an able-bodied man. Men are meant to work hard.

I heard the story days ago. He even got his girlfriend to convince public figures in the area. I listened to his girlfriend's recorded original telephone call to a public figure seeking help.

Later, the pubic figure who innocently solicited help for the self-kidnapper faced a backlash. Very bad.

olaric:
The king that presides over the most oro-centric town in Nigeria... Ikorodu and oro na 5 & 6.

That's great culture for you.
The Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Indians and others kept their culture and traditions, too.

Nice. Congrats!

Very colourful celebration at Ikorodu. Great culture.

wizelink:
Can the south sudanese contain these people? I hope this is the will of the entire people of south sudanese not the will of pockets of some greedy politicians.

Uganda, Kenya and other East Africans should put pressure on South Sudan to reject it.

If not, Palestinians will colonise East Africa from there. Saudi Arabia and UAE should accommodate Palestinians in their desert. There is enough space in the desert.

ruggedtimi:
Women...always wicked towards another woman's female child under her roof. See reason why she wants the girl to change school.

A woman cannot love a child who is not hers.

That's why God did not even ask women to love their husband. Only to submit.
The wife already hates the girl with a passion for being smarter than her own son.

OP, if you can afford to send your niece to a boarding school, please do so.

NEVER use's a wife's desire or instruction to treat your blood relative.

The woman does not love you, her hubby, never mind your relatives. She only loves her son.

Rexymania:
Shey Nepa no dey take light for Imo or ogun state?

Una go just dey hype Lagos like say no be human beings dey live for there 😡😡

Iragbiji and Ikot-Ekpene have 24/7 NEPA light, as far as OP is concerned.

People in Umuchukwu and Sokoto don't enter public transport bus or buy from hawkers. Werey too much in this 9ja o.

In a fair contest, nobody can survive anyone of them for even 10 minutes, unless it's a miracle.

Unless they decide not to get your time and just walk away from you.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
These are the characteristics of a failed state.
Is Nigeria now a failed state? Food for thought

9ja matter is beyond food. Thinking since 1960 did nothing.

It's too serious now. Na drip (infusion) for thought.

okomile:
; D

Kwam 1 don get followers

In fact, Kwamess 1 don show.

I hope she's a friend of Akpabio. At least Kwam 1 has high political connections.

donbenie:
The difference is that a Billionaire can marry an average looks Bartender.

Men marry down.

Women don't.

The women that can make men marry up are miniscule. So, chances of men marrying up is very low. Especially in Africa, where the wealthy ones are mostly men.

Mirasteel:
Successful Nigerian men hardly settle for Nigerian women.

The best decision. 9ja women will typically drag you back.

Very entitled and unfaithful. Yes, I will not exclude my relatives, the 9ja ones among them.

Anyone wey believe any woman yarn, na hin know. Anything called truth nor dey the mouth of 99% of obinrin. Yes, including the woman you marry at home.

jaxxy:
If Jonathan is contesting it is better for Peter to step down or pull out. it will be a pointless exercise and the biggest losers will be the oppositions and the south who are overly divided and unpragmatic.

Correct. Even though I feel GEJ should not contest.
But if he does and Obi does too in another party, Southern fragmentation may last for a long time. Tinubu will still win, but only thanks to the North. The North will exploit this fragmentation for decades. SE may have to permanently give up the presidency.

Hellisreal70:
Can someone please tell me the reason why all former governor in nigeria wants to become president.

That's because me and you are not trying to become one.

We have left it to them as if na their property.

NowisGod109:
You can as well try it and go into the business, then try to recover your money in 30years. Just keep in mind that when you build, you will renovate every year again, if not every month because it's now for commercial use and even the rent can't be enough. I see what many genuine developers go through in our area and it's not a joke. I have seen it all that many co tenants don't send you because we sit together and I hear what most people discuss about while we have very few that are good

Dude, lots of tenants see landlords as part of the establishment. As privileged to own houses, so they need to be shown pepper.

Whereas, most landlords are just regularly citizens who laboured to build houses, inherited or do it as a business. For many, it's their retirement income source.

But in this part of the world, only few care about others. The landlord has to struggle to survive in the same economy. Many don't see that.
