The halfwit that wrote this needs to understand the difference between "Giga" and "Mega". Not even the United States, the most industrialized country on the planed, produces up to 1 Gigawatts talk-less of this poor excuse for a country shit-hole called Nigeria.

1gw=1000mw
Be sure before passing insults.

ibabz:
GW or MW?

1000MW=1GW

Second class citizen my ass. The bitter truth is that if you can't succeed in A list countries like the UK, USA, Canada and Australia you are better off dying so others can have a chance. I am not even in an A list country and I earn better than 90 percent of the natives and I have not even spent a year here.

I never said talked about success in purely financial terms. I'm more concerned about ceilings and culture etc.
Congrats on your success in Chile. I wanted to check up on your journey but it's always hard to remember your username. 😅

RodgersAkpafu:
Kwasi Kwarteng became chancellor of the exchequer
Rishi Sunak became prime minister
Savid Javid became home secretary or chancellor too (can't remember)
Priti Patel became home secretary
and the list goes on
Houmza Yousef became first minister in Scotland

Descendants of migrants here in Britain can actually reach heights in this country regardless of the issues of racism that is still there, but not as prevalent

As an Igbo man in Nigeria
that already is a glass ceiling for many of us, due to the tribalism that have infested that sh@thole...

so please spare us that talk about "glass ceiling"

Sure, the descendants will enjoy all privileges but I'm talking about us the parents.
I do understand your point about tribalism though.

Of course, there are people making money legitimately in Nigeria, but enjoying? I would say no.

This thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7496716/what-exactly-does-one-enjoy

It got to the FP and from the responses, the major thing financially comfortable men enjoy in Nigeria is easy access to cheap sex. Nothing else. You can go through it. Sex was the major response.

Don't discount being able to live among your own people with similar culture.
Not to talk of the ceilings most immigrants abroad face. I think some people wouldn't be comfortable with the reality that they're second class citizens and have certain peaks they'd never reach. I know some of you do not care about such, but some do.

Citing purely amenities kind of still makes me annoyed. We neglect our society and run to the abroad to develop them. It's infuriating.

So to sum it up, it's not just about easy sex, as any hardworking/ moderate looking man who knows how the world works will get regular sex in any part of the world. For me it's been hard to japa cos it doesn't feel right.

What year

John is likely dead ma

My problem with android is that Android versions become obsolete with time, hence the need to change your phone or upgrade to a latest version. And I hate it.

There's no need for all this android 13,14 whatever.

Make a stable phone make person get peace of mind.

Damaged Hardware should be the reason you changed your phone not software.

Get your facts right boss.
Samsung now offers up to 4 or 5 OS upgrades.

Even android 10 phones from 2018 or 19 still run any apps till now.

JasonNOTStatham:
USD price didn't fall like naira, very much likely the price will be in range for purchases at$350-$500 per laptop. What I meant is current USD earners are spending more and hold their balance compared to naira earners. User will get more value earning USD for similar job in Nigeria.

half a million naira can get a laptop today, it all depends on specifications and brand. You can buy USD to keep the value constant or buy in naira.

My point is $1000 In 2015 will buy roughly same value of laptop in 2024.
Exoensive laptops then we're often not up to 200k while u need nearly 2m now for same grade.

JasonNOTStatham:
A bit tricky question. If one earns in dollars, a lower USD means the value of their portfolio and assets (in USD) will drop significantly. A higher USD value regardless of inflation or high cost, keeps it in range.

The thing is the percentage rise isn't balanced with current economic impact. Earning $1000 around ₦200 per USD would buy you one laptop in 2015, whilst earning $1000 now at over 1500 would buy you more laptops.

That's not true.
$1000 is $1000 when you're buying exclusively imported items like laptop.

TheTravelingOne:
Shall I show you my entrance stamp? Don’t tell me how long I’ve been in Nigeria. Speak what you know or shut tf up.

shut tf up too.
You just claimed you've been in 9ja for three months. You typed both contradictions, not me.

TheTravelingOne:
Facts. I grew up there & have lived in Nigeria some years and trust me when I tell you, the US is a million times better than nigeria will ever be.

It's now some years and not three months as you said on your other thread. 😂

TheTravelingOne:
I’m not a liability like you are saying. I work and make USD, I’m good financially. But being thrown away and abandoned in a foreign country doesn’t feel good.

You won't go back home till his family robs/extort/scam and harm you abi?
If you love your life better go back home.

He's not coming back again and only used you.
Run for your life my sister.

Gentledizzle:
I believe so because they want to promote there own AirtelTV. also maybe because Netflix certification.

Likely the certification.
It probably has no Widevine L1 support which is a shame coming from a big company like airtel.

Adetunji1999:
I don’t advice anyone to get this smart box, got 1 today , was a total crab,Netflix can’t work , interface so poor. Anyone interest can sell for 20k

Airtel carefully left out Netflix from it. Looked suspicious.

After 5 years?

Vulcan24:
If you are wasteful Nigeria will encourage you! If you are hardworking Nigeria will discouraged u!

I do tell my wife about Hollywood stars we watched while growing up and the kind of money they made with fame and hardwork!

They still live good life and in wealth in contrast to Nigerian actors in same year who are now battered and unrecognizable

Nigerian actors didn't make money back then.
Only the enlightened ones who are perhaps lecturers or have other ventures are comfortable now.

Why would you even go to her wedding

Bullman:

Ogah football isn't as competitive as it was back then..
There was Barcelona, Milan, porto, juventus, liverpool that will always play rubbish in premiership but become title contenders in every champions league.
When real madrid had the galaticos dem no de even smell semis mostly na round of 16 or quarterfinal.

True talk. These days potential winners no pass 3.

omonla10:
I'll still rate pep above anyone else.. Ancelotti failed at lower clubs though.

And pep has coached which lower club?

AbuTwins:
Tufiakwa!

Wait and see

The way you're reading the Bible you might wake up a pastor guy

Heffalump:
I've never seen a country like Nigeria that loves the dollars more than the Americans that own it. We adore another country's currency as if our lives depended on it, and if not we all die!

I've been to other African countries and you don't see them speak much about the dollars. Who did this to us?

No one talks about it like in Nigeria because there's no scarcity of it.
In Nigeria to get it to import is headache. To even pay for apps is headache, how won't we talk about it?

OMOKI1:
Well ,I am tempted to believe because it is a car I rarely drive. XJ8 2006 .Lets say he fixed it yesterday, today
there will be issues. Same guy fixing my Benz ,same experiece . Benz is reliable ! This is why I am crying out,sir. I already sent you a whatapp msg. Thanks

Maybe he's just a poor mechanic.

Tareq1105:
Elxandre, why don't you allow people that have TIN number to talk?

Do I know you?

FILEBE:
I belive it not everything we oppose. We want the good for Nigerians right? So? If a project is done to make Nigeria better we should encourage it. That I dislike someone doesn't mean I should always be against all good things he does.

Opposition should keep the others on their feet. Make them fear that you will be there to fish out their evil and corrupt ways. Constructive criticism and all.

Unfortunately, someone of us have made this a tribal thing . We don't see good in whatever Opposition does . We will always bad mouth the good and bad. This isn't what Opposition should be all about .

If truly a greater Nigeria is all we seek, then we shouldn't make Opposition a sentiment and tribal thing .

If we want a better Nigeria, the 15trn should be used towards 24/7 power supply.
It's ridiculous to earmark such amount for road in a poor country like this.

A drunk man created this thread.

omoredia:
The white liberal will ruin every successful black male in america. That's their plan. The did it to Micheal Jackson, Bill Cosby, rkelly and now Diddy. But if it their gay loving liberal white men they will cover them up.

But they didn't cover Epstein or Harvey Weinstein?

Jufresh02:
I want to change my result I scored 169,i want to increase it to 200

You're going to get scammed.
Go prepare hard for next year my friend.

cococandy:
You ignorantly think she had nothing to do with building the Gates’ wealth?

Your compulsive and intentional lack of respect for women will have y’all constantly talking out of your behinds like people without an ounce of critical thinking

She married Bill gates when he was worth at least a hundred million dollars.
No disrespect to her but I don't think anyone attributes Alakija's wealth to her husband.
