I am a young man. Still trying to find his foot in life lol.....I love traveling but the finance isn't there. A friend of mine is thinking about relocating from Benin republic to Nigeria but the electricity challenge in Nigeria is making him worried. I saw where you said electricity in Cameroon is good.

So I wanted to know more, so I could recommend it for him.



Don't worry someday soon you will find the funds to travel round the world in eighty days.Lol. Is your friend a Beninoise or Nigerian ? I cban better advice him based on what he plans to do in Cameroon...

He is a Nigerian

I wouldn't say the Francophones treat the anglophones with disrespect. If I must be honest I have seen disrespect on nairaland. Igbo's insulting Yoruba's and vice versa. That's what I call disrespect. The rivalry between anglophones and Francophones is one of poor governing structures and not very much with the people themselves. As an Anglophone I could very much live anywhere in Cameroon, marry from across any of the 250 different tribes without obstruction of language and tribe.

Cost of accomodation will definitely depend on the area and housing unit. I will make a list of prices of the different amenities in Douala and Yaounde and drop it for you. Equatorial Guinea is also an attractive destination especially Malabo. However much recently things haven't been the best with the fall in oil prices and covid. Are you moving there to set up a business or operate a skill.?

The exchange rate fluctuates alot. I think 550N to 1000CFA certainly gave you an edge. Kribi is a lovely town. When I finally fall in love with a nairaland babe will take her there for honeymoon..Lol. Another beautiful touristic town is Limbe with black sandy beaches. That's my town. Anytime you visit again do hook me up and I'll gladly show you around. What brought you to Cameroon? You mentioned academic research. I would think the University of Buea should have been a stop. It's the oldest Anglophone university in the country and accredited too.

The worst days of the crisis are over. Things are begining to get to normal with many displaced persons returning to once deserted villages.

Offcourse as a Nigerian you bound to pick Naija over Cameroon. Lol That said Nigeria has better infrastructural developments compared to Cameroon. Monopoly on business ?? Hmmm... Every country has got some monopolised sectors. I wouldn't say Cameroon has a monopolised business structure. Whatever the word means.

Nigeria has got a population eight times that of Cameroon, a land mass twice the size of Cameroon, features in the top ten producers of oil in the world. For good reason the should be better developed to Cameroon. Still I like it here anytime anyday.

This is a beautiful thread.
I have met a very few Cameroonians and I think they are mostly anglophones. Two of them are doctors working here in Nigeria. Funny, one has his own clinic in Benin city. Once in a while their wives visits. I never noticed any accent in them as they sounded Nigerian, maybe they've been here for a long time.

I would love to know what the opportunities are like Cameroon especially Daoula or Yaoundé. I feel Bamenda would erupt in violence again. Please tell me about the rent, the electricity tariff and general cost of living

Also I have always had my eyes on equatorial guniea, please can you tell me anything about it.


If Nigeria was a good country by now, I don't think we would allow the francophones treat the anglophones in Cameroon with so much disrespect.

How the educated ones think


Imagine how the uneducated ones will now think

I remember wayback in 2012, I had the fine black Aboki. He was from Mali, he was my friend then. He told me that Nigeria belongs to the Fulani and they can come and do whatever they like at any or anyday

Ibori always wanted Okowa but Uduaghan had other plans.. If it was just the call of Ibori in the end then it wouldn't have gotten so heated in the first place because Uduaghan was vehement on his choice of Edevwie from the onset.

Well, maybe the call helped to sway a few minds and calm nerves but ultimately it was the Money on offer that settled everything. Mad money bro

I knew a delegate who told me it was $1000 per delegate in Ethiope west. Remember that Iboris daughter was Okowas secretary then in Abuja when he was senator. Today Uduaghan is useless. No political weight. He shot himself on the foot

Realhommie:
It wasn't given to Okowa on a platter though, he was almost in tears seeing how David Edevwie was going to relegate him to a distant second position.

Uduaghan and his camp had pulled all the right strings even against the wishes of Ibori and his camp, it was easy since he (Ibori) wasn't on ground. It took a last minute effort from Tompolo and his goons with oyel money in dollars to sway delegates to Okowa's camp right there at the election ground. Tompolo got heavily involved because Okowa's running mate is his uncle so he put everything into it.

It wasn't Ibori's call that saved Okowa but money. When Tompolo dollarized the election ground it was already too late for Uduaghan's camp to respond. Each delegate got thousands of dollars. It was money politics in the end.

Iboris daughter was on the ground at the election, she was the carrying phone and making the calls. True, Tompolo played a huge role in the election, but it was Ibori who also told them to give it to his uncle because of the moneybag.

I am from Edo state
Lol

garfield1:
Dead but have a senator? Are you ok!?

They're dead eeeee

festacman:
Odidigborigbo James Onanefe Ibori will be like: "Why are these people fooling themselves fighting over nothing. Come on, this is territory. I am the boss here. I say who becomes the governor of Delta State."

And by the way, that's not an empty boast because he enthroned the current governor while in prison in London. When a delegation came all the way from Nigeria to know his mind, he said: "As far as it is the turn of Delta North, then it has to be my boy Ifeanyi Okowa. He has been with me from day one." That was it. Ifeanyi Okowa became the governor against the wish of the then outgoing governor and cousin Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan who had picked his SSG. Reason why Okowa chased Uduaghan out of PDP during 2019 election.

Interesting stuff!

Even when some party agents where confused on the day if the primary, the boss called all the way from prison and everything was given to okowa on the field.

Ibori is what they call

Chair of all Chair

Stfu oloriburuku mashanfani foolish son of a worthless LovePeddler mother

I believe the foolishness in your family is hereditary. Too bad the genes are never recessive, they might have skipped your prostitute of a mother. Your own foolishness has now mutated. I feel for your unborn kids.

Yebedervru:
Typical brainless Benin youth. Amotekun has killed a lot of fulanis in Oyo state. Ondo state amotekun have arrested a lot of them
If Edo youths are that brave, they should have trailed the fulanis themselves without the help of anybody
We saw how your foolish mothers protested against fulani kidnappers while your brave guys cowardly watch from their house

It would have been better of you insulted the person who made this statement or the Edo youths. But for you to insult our mothers, I will personally call your mother a fool and prostitute for not training you well. Bastard.

If anybody like they should Ban me.

Poloyanabo2:
Efik, Annang and Ibibio can't compare to Ijaw that spreads over 5 states: 95% of Bayelsa, 45% of Rivers state, 30% of Delta state 10% Edo state and 5% in Akwa Ibom.

Do you know what 10% is. How can you say 10%. So if Edo is 3 million, there are 300,000 ijaws in Edo state. The ijaws in Edo state are less than 5%

Make Burns boy easy ooo
Him no be bulletproof oooooo

Respect people for life

pegix:
Kazakhstan...hmm

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Ossetia Tajikistan

Apart from Russia.and Finland nothing coming out.of the rest

Abuja no fine reach Astana. Go and take a look at it. Turkmenistan own is worse, their capital has more buildings than people and it all in white

Lala

We call on you

My friends mother has been with mental illness for almost 15 years now. Probably schizophrenia. It has totally ruined his family and denied him the joy of experiencing the love of a mother.

I don't know if there are others out there on this forum

Let APC bring a Southerner.
E go shock PDP

I can't stand another northern government. God forbid

privaldo:
Kazakhstan's capital is now called Nur-Sultan, oh boy things change so fast.

Previously called Astana

Isn't these the same people crying cashless policy upandown?

iamJ:
money is a legal tender that is guaranteed by a government

Bitcoin isn't guaranteed by anyone, if everybody using it decide to pull out, it will crash to zero cause bulk of it's current value is inflated

Money is money because we agree to it as a means of exchange. What my Bitcoin can buy, your naira cannot. Because your naira is worthless out there in the international market

iamJ:
Bitcoin is a company

Do you know their office

This one say Ponzi
Chai
Na wa

iamJ:
they are the same, the money you make from Bitcoin is someone else investment in Bitcoin

Bitcoin is not a company, it doesn't have offices, it doesn't make or generate revenue, if more people buy it, it becomes more profitable for the previous investor, it's a gigantic ponzi scheme

What is Money?
How is Bitcoin different from the money in your Bank. Its just numbers you have as money. It's not physical hope you understand. They can't print everyone money if not you have inflation.

Bitcoin is better than your Niara because it grows. Your Naira is trash...

thatigboman:
Op, i dont work in CBN or know their reason for doing what they did.
But i know i attended a conference in lagos about this cryptocurrency and the man from CBN say they are against it it because it is unregulated.
U can put N10 million in there and it vanishes, u cant call police, u cant reach out to CBN, your money just fanishes.
Always state the both sides of the argument

What of people's pension that has been vanishing in this country. No be Pension money Maina thief. The old CBN worker doesn't understand how blockchain works....he is still stuck in the 20th century using Adam Smith's economics

Pharaoh4rin:
My naval friend is with me an hour ago. He said that the new service chiefs are nothing better than the former. He said that there's nothing to jubilate about.

On my own, I don't expect anything good from the north. Gambo is a typical Fulani man who discriminates alot.

This country is completely finished.

He is.not fulani

Ibadanboyy:
Government of the North and for the North.

He is from the south.... But it's coded

einsteine:
Lol. I know at least three people with that surname from Agbor. He is not Urhobo. Urhobo don't answer Irabor. Only Edo and Ika people answer that

I knew an urhobo girl then in my secondary school whose surname was Irabor..

post=98465365:
General Leo Lucky Irabor. Born in 1962, General Nicholas is an Igbo Christian from southeastern Imo State.

Oh he is from Agbor...
He is Ika na. Because I don't know about Igbo people answering Irabor.


One thing I noticed is that, instead of an appointment to go to the south east Igbos, delta north usually gets the appointment

chiedozie198100:
Do you research. Irabor and not Erabor

Irabor is an Edo name
Not Igbo name

Waiting

The Benin people are some of the most accommodating people you can think of. Yes we pride in our great and rich history but taking other people's land is not what we think of. I will give you an Example

Just across the river ologbo you have what is today called Oghara Kingdom. Urhobowaado which a history blog states that the land ogharefe is actually a land of the Oba of Benin and rent was being paid for that land by the inhabitants even during colonial times. Today nobody in Edo even talks about it, because we see ourselves as one.

There are two communities just after Okada, one is called Utese and the other is Egbeta. The two communities have merged but they speak a different language that a Benin man in Okada doesn't understand. Infact Egbeta does not understand Uteses and likewise for the same. Even in Owan, near ifon in Ondo, their language is unique and different. Why should we want to claim Anioma land.

We don't care about these things, infact we just care about those who can come and make our land a better place by contributing positively. The only state bigger than Edo state in south south and south east is cross river.

Land is not our problem. I don't care less what the Anioma man calls himself or where his loyalty lies. We don't care, but please you Igbo's should stop insulting us when Anioma people are attaching themselves to Benin. It is history as a people that connects us together. You can carry dem on your head.

Seeing insultive words here against the Benin palace really hurts me and the average Edo person. I notice people here are not ready for constructive argument but just distorting facts and acting like babies.

Benin empire is gone and gone for good. Nobody wants to bring it back. The attacks now won't rewrite history. So let's move on with our lives and face new challenges. Work together on issues we can and resolve our differences when there is.
