APOPTOSIS:
He was never healthy...
Over the years has got an indolent yet evolving mental issues which lately started affecting his physical health which is the manifestation we are seeing now. Go and read up Personality disorders.
He suffers Cluster B personality disorder ( Narcissistic type).
He has quickly evolved into the borderline type ..
Fast becoming maniac. He needs rehabilitation.
However, most Narcissistic people would reject help because of grandiosity, pride / self-aggrandizement.

Personality disorder will not make him look like this.
That's a mental health issue.
I mean he is sick like somebody that have kidney disease. That man look so dry and sick up there.
Unless the picture is fake.

Many Nigerians have unidentified mental health problems because we don't take mental health serious.
Almost all those people who say they see visions like herbalist, pastors, man's etc are schizophrenic. It's a serious mental health challenge.

ICTspecialist:
he might not be sick or bedridden, he might even be stronger than you but lacks the opportunity to fetch a means of living
Baba no be Everytime person commot for house he dey see work oo

In Nigeria, there is nothing like lacking opportunity.
We just feel that some jobs are beneath us.

When he enter any market, he will see something to do. Even cripples have handiwork there. Stop encouraging laziness. If he has kids, this will be his excuse not to feed them daily?

Maeve7, GboyegaD and other soup lovers here’s one for soup season. These ingredients make a big pot so adjust to your taste.

If anyone has a tried and trusted pumpkin soup recipe pls share.

Seconded

doggedfighter:
Seems theirs is hotter than ours ?

Not at all.
All our peppers dey hit hard

If that picture is true, then that man is sick

GboyegaD:
They say it is good for weight loss but I don't know how because the sweetness isn't the type I like.

Haba GboyegaD, how can you believe that.
Date palm is simply sugar. It's like sugar cane.
I have date palm sugar. Bought it out of curiosity.
Diabetes, poor eyesight.
Obesity, name them.

doggedfighter:
Only you are 4 person's food ?😁

Ahhhhh !!

I wanted to scream too.
Let the guy breath.

U see our problem is portion control. The body don't need that much food to function maximally. The rest is not needed. Just stored fat.
We don't know the mechanism of eating or plating.
Watch movies where people eat in 5 star hotels and see we make mistakes in how we shoukd eat eat.
From the president to the poor farmer.

fastseo:
Am a family man and pay 500 pounds a month. Gas and light 100 in a month. Water 30p, Internet 25.

I dont pay council tax yet just graduated.

You live in an apartment.
You and your wife can afford this and still have change.
If what you studied is not gonna get you employed, change route provided you don't have paper problem
Eg, you can apply for train driver apprentice training, go through all the tests and enter, once you enter, look for an opening for what you studied as you climb along or better continue as a driver.
It's lots of money and stable job.

Konjiboii:
Na Amala and ewedu when dem use broom when dem dey use sweep compound make kon dey healthy Abi, the hatred in you people heart ehn is very disgusting and disturbing, not everything should be a competition.

Ewedu is one of the best soup you can ever get.
Ewedu is kerenkeren. I grow up eating it with okro.
If you hate the broom, there is blender.
After all we have black soup.
Stop hating for hating sake.
You can substitute the amala with oat flour. That's what I do.

Google the health benefits of jute leave. Don't be ignorant.

themanderon:
But your forefathers ate stuffs like this and lived into their nineties and hundreds.

They don't do 8 to 5, do they?
They don't drive, do they?
No tv. They walk and work. Hard labour.

BarrElChapo:
😂😂😂😂 You're harsh

But saying the truth.
We eat so much carb we think it's enjoyment.
Who big belle and fat bum and breast elp.

People that studies food and nutrition,personal trainers, gym freaks, even healthcare practitioners, where are they.
We need re-orientation.

Abagworo:
If not higher. Things are now cheaper even in Pounds than in Nigeria.

It's cheaper cos it just come from neboring countries of UK.
With a day wage for some people, you can buy full goat and freeze.
Also uk make the best deals with countries as regards food by subsidising it.
Food is very cheap in uk.

I once had a colleague from Poland that said seedless grapes are cheaper in uk than her country yet uk import from them.
I don't know if that's true as I don't live there.

Ishilove:
Blue Mackerel is 'Kote.' Who are those calling it Titus??

Jeez, you live in lagos and didn't know its called titus?
Where were you when we had the argument here.
It was so heated, I type soteee, my fingers begin pain me, I ran away
Should be 3yrs ago or so.

Quelme:
nursing is not one of the least paid job here but the exact opposite.

NHS and care home pay different rate. Care home pays higher, as high as 20 quid per hour. How is that one of the least?

How many care homes.
More than 70% are in the hospital. Also, if you want to specialise and career oriented, you need the nhs.

pocohantas:
In Lagos it is called titus.
SE calls scumbia. This is from my experience living in both regions. I used mackerel just to sound enlightened, else I tilt towards TITUS most times .

I have only seen 2 species in Nigeria. The fake and original. Hahaha! The fake isn't common in Lagos. You will instead see other types of everyday fish like panla (hake) and shawa (herring).

Scombridae is the correct name. We just call it scumbia
Mackerel is generic name.
Family is scombridae.

Is there a fake?
It's just another species of mackerel.
That one called fake.....
There are a lot to talk about those fishes.

I remember we reached many pages cos almost everybody was like I am wrong, even when I snapped a box in my freezer to show them the name.
I explain tire and ran away

Cousin9999:
1.) East Asians do not have a low-carb diet. They eat a lot of rice and noodles.
2.) They also eat a lot of fatty pork and high cholesterol organ meat.
3.) They consume excessive amounts of sugar and salt.
4.) Asians also drink a lot of alcohol. Their culture even basically forces them to do it, for example, they feel pressured to binge drink if their boss buys them alcohol.
5.) They eat a lot of fried food.
6.) Asians have high rates of diabetes. They also have high rates of stomach cancer because they eat so many fermented things.
7.) Asians are skinny mainly because of starvation diets, walking more (when they live in their country), smaller portions, social pressure (mental abuse), and poverty.
8.) I hesitate to take nutrition advice from a group of people that is very short and doesn't seem to be that physically strong.

You don't know what you are talking about.
World health indices is what you use to .easure these. Morever, the portion an average Chinese man will eat is testing spoon for us. Google rice bowl and what you will see is tiny bowl. So it's small % of carb. As per noodles, check what they use in making their noodles. I eat all manner of east Asian noodles but I can never finish one packet cos I will stuff it with loads of protein and veggies. I used to post noodles on food sections.
If I want to lose weight, I go on noodle diet.
China has high rate of diabetes not because of rice but salt and sugar. They cook with sugar.

In IQ, they lead. Your IQ is determined by what you feed your brain. No wonder we are below par cos we load our brain with carbs only.
The number one country with the best meal plan is Japan and they have the highest life expectancy after Hong Kong followed by south Korea all in east Asia.
Have you see korean food. Noodles come from these people yet, we don't prepare noodle as they do.

If I have the time and energy, I will tell you more. These are countries I have researched for years and follow their meal plan for my family

Look at those two dishes.
One is Nigerian jollof rice.
No veggie,
Less than 10% protein

The second is called bibimbap. A popular Korean rice dish.
Can you spot the rice?
Did you see the veggies, can you see the plant protein and animal protein.
We can eat the two dishes from morning till night but the korea dish is well balanced and healthy while ours lack loads of nutrients and very unhealthy.



I decided to answer only 2. The rest is unnecessary

pocohantas:
Even in Nigeria there are two types being sold in the market. One is smaller and cheaper. People keep calling it "fake". How can fish be fake bikonu?

The person that called mackerel sufferhead doesn't deserve a response. It is nutritious and we should be worried at how expensive fish is becoming in Nigeria.

They dont know there are different species of mackerel.
We only use 2 I think. Mackerel is a generic name given to all the species of that family and they are many diff types of them. (We once had a heated argument here one time when people insisted tye name is titus. I was like wtf)
Please pardon him.

But our people dey try o.
Back then at home and I think it's still the same, we call it scumbia. Nobody call it mackerel. When I left igboland, I heard people calling it titus

diamond68:
outside London where ? Thats higher train and bus ticket. It’s all suffering. 12 pounds an hour cannot feed rat in todays England

Ok
I don't have strength to argue

diamond68:
bros no Dey deceive people for here, security guards are struggling to make ends meet in the uk. You can’t even afford rent in London as a security guard. It’s house share or council house. Why you Dey deceive people na ?

They know it all
Security guards in London lice outside London. It's simple math.

fastseo:
What do you mean? A cleaner, care giver etc earn very high. Don't overlook anyjob as there is dignity in labour in UK ..

Secondly when u get to a country u have not been before u have to start from somewhere, u don't expect q recent graduate that is just graduating n with no experience after graduating to be working in top banks or u expect me to fold my arms and sit by??.
I believe as they said no job in Nigeria, u will fold ur hands n put in ur pockets without minding u have to start somewhere

Enter UK.. You go see mayguard riding Tesla...
Range rover sport na pure water.

So u enter UK to ride tesla?
Black man.
Smh

You are earning minimum wage and tesla is your problem?

pocohantas:
Abeg, just say they are different species. Which one is quality on top fish again? Make una no dey do like we done die for Nigeria.

U no no your people again.
That low self esteem must rear it's head

fastseo:
My brother i understands what he is saying. A lot of people last year struggled and couldn't meet their fees deadline. Study route is all about money.

U see guys crying why they stepped out and everyone running here and there for jobs. Omo it was not funny at all. I was scared at some point not to lose my kids because the rent money became an issues at some points. Because when u can't provide for your kids who are minors the government will take them from u.

It only takes the grace of God. Any one that graduate successfully need to thank God because the mental stress alone. They bully from ur school. The portal they shot and u couldn't submit assignment. Etc.

Its not easy bro


Its a miracle i scale through forget

I know it's not easy but don't blame the system instead look for what the system needs and look for ways to meet the demand.
There is still very high demand in health care.
Secondly, we look down on some handiwork yet they pay more than cert eg mechanic work, driver especially taxi. The Nigerian pride will not allow us do taxi job or mechanic. What will I tell home people. I have interviewed these people and honestly, if I had a choice now, I will forget my cert and become a driver. What of rail driver. Do you know that they take home more than band 8 nurse in some units and how many years will it take one to reach band 8? You may never reach 7 not to talk of 8.
Nursing is one of the least paid jobs in uk but readily available. Don't forget that blacks lose their pins for flimsy reasons more than any race every year.

Most time when I come across new immigrants, I usually lecture and advice them cos when uou miss it, it will take time for you to navigate back again and start afresh.

Mariangeles:
Even when you talk, those in Nigeria will call you all sorts of names, that you don't want them to come over, so as they say, experience is the best teacher.

If you are not in the system, you will never know how it works. For every 1 person that said it didn't work for him, 9 are doing perfectly well.
That one person didn't tell you where he got it wrong.
We will never agree we made wrong choices, do we?

uuzba:
Well, this is good. Finding a cheap city and finding good work in THAT city.
Years ago, when I lived in UK, I lived in my university city which was cheap~ £180 a month
But my salary no pass, £500 a month (part time) + transport + feeding, gas... So money still finish.
I wanted to reduce transport fee to work, so when I graduated and moved to work city.
But, Higher rent, higher gas, higher electricity and visa processing was still there, plus another course fees again to hang on.
Wife came with ALL her certificates, EVERYTHING, dem no gree give her pass factory worker...
We were bleeding money.
So we left, before visa expire and they start showing us on NTA news.

You studies a course that they don't need.
Your wife also came with certs that are not needed.

The mistake most of u make is coming to uk to study rubbish courses and expect to be employed with that.
In Nigeria,masters in any engineering courses may be a hot cake but not in uk.
Even in IT, they have Britons, Chinese and Indians to employ first before you as they are guru in that field.

If your wife had come with with health related cert, she will be a hot cake.
Till date, people still make the same mistake. Then turn around and blame the system.

We are very ungrateful bunch when we don't have our way.
And even if you and your wife are working in warehouse, u can still pay your bill and navigate your way around.
I guess the pick money on the street syndrome or else lose hope affected you.
No patience.
It's still Nigerians that started roughly like you and still made it.

PrinceOfLagos:
Ok is there fixed hour that you're allowed to work in a particular place daily or you just work and work for the number of hours your body can carry you?

Who is calculating the number of hours you worked or is there a clock-in clock-out machine that calculate the number of hours that you worked on a daily?

How much are you paid weekly ?

Jealousy is written all over you.
The thread is for a particular reason
Why going personal.
The guy is too kind to have graced u with a reply

papyjaypaul:
This is an old video I saved on my computer but the words are true.

Look at African social media, what do you see? Women, men, sex, gossip, entertainment and many distractions. Education and thinking is pushed behind.

If you happen to go to school in any western country, Nigerians are very easy to recognise amongst the teaming students. They are all about fashion fashion fashion.
You look at students from other continents and shake your head. Even those that just left Nigeria to that school will change accent overnight.
Meet them at place of work, it's always quarrel and fight. See people from other continents, they are their brothers keeper. We love fake life so much cos we are not satisfied with who we are.

GboyegaD:
I know one who ended up in banking.

It is well

Rutherford2019:
The main issue is that there's agreement that Fubara will conduct LGA before the expiration of the present ones and it's expected that the chairmen will be reelected thereby continuing Wike structure from councilorship to state governor but Fubara reneged and wanted to put caretakers.
Wike sensed that Fubara is trying to dismantle his structure from local government level and he plotted his removal by the HOA
Unfortunately, not all the Assembly Members agree like House leader (Ehie) who leaked the plot to Fubara..otherwise, Fubara won't have known until he's removed from office.
The real issue now is..
1. Those former LGA chairmen and others feel that Fubara owes them because naira they work for his election..and now Fubara want to take away their source of livelihood
NB politics is the sole source of income to 75% of rivers indigene

You know them.
Politics is their sole source of income.

They join cult from primary school.

cococandy:
Well a lot of them live in a healthy weight range. Maybe there’s some truth to it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cos they eat healthy most times na.
We eat more than 80% carbohydrate per meal. We can't even compare.
We don't even have proteins. Only animal protein and beans which is more of carb. Normal every meal veggies like carrots, we will rather wait till we make fried rice. We even prefer raw carrot when cooked carrot is what we needed. We need nutritionists to plan our meals. Japan did it.
Wonder what those who studied that course do in real life.

cococandy:
It’s supposed to help with digestion and weight management too. At least that’s what I heard from some Asian creators

Yes to digestion. I can attest to that.
Weight management
Ndi Asia abiakwa

cococandy:
This was a gift from a dear friend. The care instructions said only dish soap. No abrasive sponges.

But I believe you. The way small money dey sound like million million in our local currency is scary. Tinubu has finished us

When I invested in my le crueset & caraway pot + pans, I stopped buying cookware. So I was very happy when she gifted this to me

That's a very good friend
Gladdens my heart.

cococandy:
Yes it is copper and totally nonstick.

Hmm.
Expensive, right?
How do you maintain it?

This is more than 2m Nigerian money.
Our money no get value again.
