I’ve been trying to find Nigerians abroad for work, interviewing them and asking how they relocated. One thing I’ve noticed during my search is how everybody is now a “Japa coach”.

Everywhere you turn now, somebody is selling a relocation masterclass, consultation, CV package, visa mentorship, Telegram group, “secret route”, etc.
And maybe it’s just me, but some of the prices are insane 😭

Like, I understand people monetising knowledge, but sometimes it feels like they are taking advantage of how desperate and confused a lot of Nigerians are right now, especially because half the time the information is already publicly available or came from another random person’s Twitter thread.
I even saw somebody charging for “hidden European countries Nigerians don’t know about” 😭 what's that about?

It just made me realise how deeply capitalistic and exploitative Nigerians can be, especially when we're in a seemingly better situation than before; we barely hear enough from normal people who actually relocated successfully without all this packaging around it.

To correct or add to your opinion. Any person that asks you for money to help you with visa runs is trying to exploit you. It's a usually as simple as that

drnoel, calm down.

Lol, many guys here are too immature. Makes me wonder how they were raised.
Am calm bro.
Cheers!!

Some people don’t like hearing hard truths, but it doesn’t change reality.
First, life doesn’t cancel consequences. Every decision good or bad has a price. And the painful part is most times, the people who pay are not the ones who made the decision. It’s the innocent ones, especially children. They didn’t ask to be born into confusion, broken homes, or instability, yet they carry it for life.


Second, let’s stop pretending people are clueless. Responsibility exists. A woman has full control over her body. Nobody sleeps with her unless she allows it except in cases like rape. So let’s not act like most situations are accidents. People know what they’re doing.
They know the difference between a man who is serious and one who is just playing. They know who has direction and who doesn’t. But many times, they ignore the good and chase what is exciting, risky, or “spicy.” That whole idea of “I can change him” has destroyed more futures than people want to admit.


Third, you cannot build a future on illusion. You cannot reform a grown adult who doesn’t want to change. that’s self-deception. A man who has built irresponsible habits over years will not suddenly transform because of feelings.
And let’s be honest when a relationship crashes, people from the outside like to assume, “If I were there, I would have done better.” Most times, you don’t even know the full story. What you think you’re seeing is not the complete picture. There are things beneath the surface you may never understand.
At the end of the day, nobody escapes accountability. Choices have consequences. And if people refuse to be disciplined in their decisions especially around sex, relationships, and family then someone, somewhere, will pay for it.

That’s reality and I won't be the clean up guy that might not have been picked before the mess.

Good thing about your comment us that it's your opinion albeit it being a naïve as it gets, shows no real life in experience.
Your probably didn't learn anything growing up and sad, you wouldn't learn it on NL.
It's probably best you learn the hard way and make up your mind about life. Anyways not all the meets the eye is white.
Single mothers are no the bane of existence.
Many of them are no architects of their situation doesn't mean you condemn all of them

ErnestNc:
Take am play first. U must be a simp sha. I was like this too. Used to say situations with women were peculiar. I wasn't judgemental, neither did I generalize.

My son, not all that meets the eye is white. There is nothing like being a simp. Just like we are all simps for religion in Nigeria. How else can you explain our stupidity and readiness to believe everything they spew in the name of God.

Now back to the topic. If you were previously like you said you were and have changed due to peer pressure or situational/ environment pressure then you have no self-identity cos you have changed for the worse.
But know one thing. This life is a po short to be used on silliness. I mean count all the time you have wasted your life thinking about how irrelevant thing that won't bring in further in life.

essentialone:
Most ladies who live alone fall into 2 categories.

Either they turn their apartment into a hosting place for different random man who just want to have sex with them for a fee.

Or they go out every night to hustle for men at clubs and hotels and return at 5AM every day.

This is childish and not true!!
Context matter.

Stephen0mozzy:
A virgin female doctor?
Hehehehe.... Asin, not to sound ignorant o... I guess there are tons of females who go through roughly 7years of medical school, 1year of housemanship, 1 year of youth service, around 3 years of junior residency...

Well, to return to your query... It could really be that she was ashamed, but I think she could have brought up the truth that she already had premarital sex before and doesn't want to do it again, without revealing anything about the abortion, and without claiming immaculate abstinence...but alas.

As you said, you like the way she carries herself.... Now I want to hope you rushed marriage preparation because of her value as a woman, AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE ILLUSION OF RETAINED HYMEN?

If the hymen was all you cared about, then I guess you should look for another resident doctor whose hymen is still resident in its natural position.

But if you want to marry her because of her personal qualities, see how you can forgive her LIE, but know that something built on a foundation of lies, already has a k-leg.

I wish you the bery vest.

To correct this misnomer, there are female doctors that go thru all these and don't mess around. I schooled withany of them. It hard but it can be done. My set we were very close so we knew who was messing around with who and we kept our mouths shut.

SQLmastar:
Please house, I need mature advice. This matter is tearing me apart.

I met this lady (a doctor)
4 months ago. I'm 35, she is 31.
She told me she was a virgin and I believed her because of how she carried herself. I was very happy and rushed everything – introduction, engagement, and marriage plans (I promised my mum that I would get married before December 2026). We were supposed to do our traditional marriage in one week’s time.

Last week, I received an anonymous WhatsApp message. The person sent pregnancy test results showing that my fiancée was pregnant for her ex-boyfriend during her 1-year residency. She had told me about this ex, but said they never had sex, and that was why they broke up.
I confronted her with the message. At first, she denied it and said it was fake, someone trying to spoil her name. But when I said I would call her best friend to confirm, she broke down and confessed the truth.
She admitted she got pregnant for the ex, aborted it immediately, and promised herself never to have premarital sex again. She said she was ashamed and didn’t want to lose me, so she lied about being a virgin.
Now I’m confused and heartbroken. I love her but the lies are too much.
On the other hand, I have already invited many people – including the chief of my village and my manager at work. Cancelling now will bring serious shame and talk in my village and workplace.

Please Nairalanders, what should I do? Should I go ahead with the marriage or cancel everything? Has anyone been in this kind of situation?

I need honest advice.

What's there to advise you about.
Sit down with her and talk it through.
Get the truth, the plain truth no matter how unpalatable it sounds, get it. Then make your decision.

Speedstar7:
I am still a student of the university of uyo 25 years of age, I am writing this with deep pains in my heart . Our tenant ( a single mother) in our compound has a 19 year old daughter who stays with her father in another town oku iboku. She do occasionally visit her mother and spend at least a month with her mother (she's in ss3 though),Well when she do come to see her mother I normally don't talk to her because of my introvertedness untill she started asking wether I have a girlfriend, talking about sex etc it then got to a point she indirectly asked me to sex her. After the first sex we started having sex almost throughout that month last year ... I later proceeded in asking her out of which she agreed. Her mother bought a phone before she returned to the place she is schooling ( she wants to write waec) fast forward today she came two weeks ago.. she has stopped giving me attention and sex, most of the time ignores me as if I don't exist. I even overhead a guy asking wether she has seen her period on phone
I am so heartbroken... This is my first ever relationship, she kinda approach me first although indirectly I was kinda thinking it will last. She left today.... Please advise me it's really tough

Finish your education and leave women alone. They will break you if you are not ready

If she is a succubus what are you? Warlock?

Oracleee:
Can marry a widow but if not a widow, I can't marry a single mum. She's a single mum for a reason. If she's gold, her bobo would have kept her.

Also not true. Some men are best unmarried. Have seen so many cases were there was no other way. Marriage is not by force and one must not die as a result of it

ErnestNc:
Don't try it o. Especially single moms in their 30's. The one I dated was 33 with series of male orbiters and friends. She had her baby daddy calling and kept contact with her exes(3 out of 6) ..hahaha.

She abandoned her 13yr old with the grand parents for 13yrs despite her financial stability, all just to avoid being a responsible woman. I tried so many times to have her daughter stay over at hers , for holidays even if it was 3days. She wouldn't allow it. The poor child would beg me to speak to her mom to let her come over.

She still prioritizes night life (night club and night parties) with her unmarried friends( circle of one female and multiple male).

I've never been so insecure my life. What's worse was I even wanted to wed her .

In the end , the same male friends she told me not to worry about were the same guys she went to sleep at their houses for 7 consecutive nights(3 different male friends ) because she was depressed and needed to be cheered up cuz we fought and I said harsh things to her . Really ?

She confessed this and still claimed nothing happened because she saw I was all in and still wants to manipulate me.

I even recalled sending her tp to transport the industrial machines she bought, and alongside her was a male friend who assisted her with the machines. Guess what? She told me the guy helped her set them up and couldn't go back home so she let him pass the night . She said nothing happened. Lol cuz I'm dumb.


Flee from single mothers pls!!! They are unrepentant. She's a single mother for a reason.

That particular issue is a singularity and only for that incident you mentioned

pansophist:
Just want to clarify that single mums and widows are not the same thing.

There are single mums as a result of youthful recklessness, or single mum that left due to domestic violence, or single mums that are widow.

Although it’s safe to marry a single mum that is a widow and the kid’s paternity have been settled.

Every single mum should not be put in the same basket, doing that robs us of our ability to be empathetic and humane.

If you want grace for your shortcoming and/or unfortunate circumstances, you must extend it to your fellow man, and woman.

No matter how you try to interpret the grama, it's still one and same thing

That's a baggage. The guy is in health profession. Best for him to go towards the doctor. Like minds attract better

I need some advice from playboy in the house.
I want to go straight to the point but I know some women are emotional and will react shocked if you tell them straight up that you want to fvck

One OG said touch her sensitive areas like waist, shoulders, neck or her ass.
What is the most effective ways to go strsight to the pont and tell a girl you want to fvck her.

This one done miss road. Youngman not mix your spirit with everything on the streets, not all of them are human beings.
Instead go to school and get a degree or learn a trade, make money and women will fall on your lap. You don't have to say too much anymore

marcusverum:
The scary thing about marriage is that your partner can wake up one day, tell you they are done and walk away.

What is terrifying is they can make that decision and you don't have to have done anything wrong. There is no court of appeal. There is no argument that will change a made-up mind.

If you rush into marriage you will rush out. Time alone does not protect you. Discernment does.

The best protection in marriage is choosing correctly at the beginning. Fix the foundation, not the cracks.

When choosing a wife be selfish. This allows you to selflessly discharge your duty as a husband.

What do you think is the biggest mistake men make before getting married?

— Marcus Verum

All good, marriage is not by force. Only a woman that hides her feelings so well can do that bond move. Assuredly you would have seen the warning signs years ahead. You probably just refused to read the writings on the wall.
A mistake many men do.
But it's not the end. Cos you can learn from that mistake. Main issue is regardless of how hard she hits you or the situation threatens to destroy you, don't let it. Be resilient, be strong cos nothing is written on stone and you will rise again.

Very good effort by the republican party. Trump for life

Joke of the century.
Trump for life you say means anarchy or dictatorship. That goes against the constitution but am sure you don't know that.

This bird was killed this morning close to my office.. they had already killed it before I arrived.. I was sad at their actions but I will like to know the name of this innocent bird that has just been wasted..

Nigerians and killing wildlife are like 5&6, hunger is real. That looks like a peregrine falcon.
The killing of that falcon has condemned it's family and youngones to death cos they can't fend for themselves without the adult.

AkataWoman:
I’ve seen and heard several things from Nigerian men about akatas. It’s usually that we’re good for sex only or if they’re in a relationship it comes down to them not having their stuff together enough to date Nigerian women. I was shown a video where several married to/dating said they were surprised at how attentive and loving we are to our mates. They believe it’s because so many of us grow up without fathers that we love having a man in our lives.

Why can’t you just admit your stereotypes about black American women was just WRONG! I believe it comes from growing up in a backward culture that believes because we aren’t circumcised or have virginity checks done on us we must be promiscuous.

Ok. So you’re being told this while growing up in Africa. I get it. (The funny thing is that at the same time in America black American women are viewed as the least promiscuous). But once you’re here and see how hardworking and loyal (often to men who don’t deserve it) we are, why continue to try to stereotype us even as you date us? I think some of it is the Nigerian stubborn pride. You MUST be culturally superior to akatas.

At what point will you find it okay to say: We had them all wrong?

Anyone that liked this post didn't get the insult hidden underneath.
Nigerians/ Africans know your worth.
This woman insulted our culture, mentality and upbringing. It's not something to like or agree to but to condemn. Enof said!

ChizzyBuna:

I took the biggest L last week when I found out a priest was smashing my crush.
She is a nurse and the worst part is that her so called bestie snitched on her and showed me hardcore proof and reciepts.

I remember this nurse telling me about how one rev. Father was trying to chike her but she refused blah blah blah.. I laughed it off
Now fastfoward 1 month later, I'm told by her bestie that she is fucking the same priest and they both have fallen in love with each other. After confronting her about the rumor she blocked me on insta and WhatsApp. Which means her bestie was right!!!!
If I go into details of the texts and other stupid gifts and money this priest is giving this girl. Oh my God!!
This has made me lose major Respect for anything pastor or priest. Bunch of wolves in sheep clothing.
I pray she gets pregnant and cause wahala for the idiot priest..
Chiemela Im highly disappointed in you but I understand a hoe is a hoe. Period
Bleep all you catholic priests!!!!!
So after fingering a girl you still use that hand and finger to give out Communion??
Once again fuuuuck all the Catholic priest whether good or bad Bleep all you blind religious clowns that support and defend this bastard priests..

Lol, a case of holy Rhizopus. Go and make money and not come here and be boring us with fake news. Better still go and enter church yourself and increase your chances.
That priests probably never pursued her. She was the one probably doing the pursuing.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about how we walk through the rain together.

I’m currently putting together an article on the 'Reality of Life and Relationships' using this image as a case study. Looking at these four couples, they all face the same rain and carry the same bags, but their dynamics are totally different.

To you, which couple represents true happiness? And more importantly, WHY? Your perspectives will help shape my upcoming piece. Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇

None is happiest. Reason being different strokes and levels of a relationship, influences happiness

Amotolongbo:
None of them is happy walking in the rain.
The couples in the keke and danfo around them are happier

No couple in danfo and keke

*Suspect In Custody

President Trump was rushed off the stage, and he and his Cabinet members are all safe.

Updated 12:03 AM EDT, Sun April 26, 2026


What we know
• President Donald Trump said a suspect “armed with multiple weapons” charged a security checkpoint before shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner tonight in Washington, DC. Trump was rushed off stage, and he and his Cabinet members are all safe.

• The suspect — who is in custody — will be charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on federal officer using a dangerous weapon, US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said. Authorities have identified the suspect as a 31-year-old California man, law enforcement officials told CNN.

• CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton when he saw a gunman opening fire just a few feet away. He was among the dozens of attendees who took cover as law enforcement swarmed. A US Secret Service agent was shot in their protective gear and has been hospitalized, sources said.


https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/25/politics/live-news/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner

There was no attempt to assassinate trump on this one. Trump just wanted to push narrative for his ballroom. This was staged

The rate of complain in marriage is much. If you have a beautiful and successful marriage, kindly tell us how to make marriage a beautiful thing.

Marry who you care about and who cares about you. The love should be more on the woman's side or it wouldn't work.
Stay faithful and concentrate on your family, nothing else. Listen to your madam and carry her along on every decision.
Don't allow distractions from previous lovers on both sides. Stay Godly.
Be patient!!
