I am telling my wife that I only want 2 kids and she saying that we must have four.I never get her time yet

Sirchiboy:
We keep blaming the government but our parents is the cause of 90% of the problems we face today.
As a man, you know you can't even feed three square a meal or pay your rents yet you still go ahead and get married.
Start giving birth to kids you can't cater for yet you keep blaming the government.
You are worse than the devil himself.

Smartguyboy:
To be honest this Uk is not meant for Nigerian and jealous men I swear . Imagine you caught your wife cheating in Nigeria 🇳🇬. They system have made a lot of people especially men useless in life and powerless , it okay for them , for their wife to be cheating and they can’t do anything about it .

Ironically, the most gracious and merciful god (Exodus 34:6).
The wickedness of the so-called merciful god in the book of Genesis makes me puke. Can't believe I was allowed to read and memorize that shit as a child.

God’s first genocide is hard to beat: he drowns every single person on the planet except one family (Genesis 6:7). The story of Noah’s flood is well known and often made into a children’s story, but the evil contained within it is unimaginable. This story makes Hitler, Stalin, Ghengis Khan, and Pol Pot look like boy scouts in comparison. The story of the flood takes place sometime around 2400 BC, meaning God killed around 20 million people. The Bible starts with a bang.

A few chapters later, God kills everyone in two cities: Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24). God decided to kill everyone in two cities because they were not “just and righteous.” The only people he saved was a man named Lot, his wife, and his two daughters. When Lot’s wife looked back at the city where God was burning everyone to death, everyone she had ever known, God killed her too (Genesis 19:26). Now a family without a wife and mother, immediately after God killed hundreds or thousands of their neighbors; they found a cave, got drunk, and had incestual sex together (Genesis 19:34). How righteous.

Two things you must never convert.

1. Converting naira to Biafran pounds.
2. Converting a street to a housewife

This has nothing to do with the post, just writing neutrally.

XAUBulls:
Alright then... That's awesome.
Thanks for all the feedbacks. I'll continue to keep in touch as and when due [being that you're one of the resourceful and objective folks I've ever had convos with in my 18 years of being a veteran member of this NL discussion forum] (i.e., I have an older NL moniker here). Ese gan.

Cheers!

XAUBulls:
Great! You're welcome emmaodet, anytime.

Just a quick one, the agri storage facility you have, is it exclusively for your own use or do you offer services to third-party agribusiness folks who are involved in agro commodities arbitraging. I ask this question just in case there's gonna be a need for warehousing or storage by anyone I know down the road.

Thanks.

⚡Kim Jong Un's party, the Workers' Party of Korea, won the latest election with 99.91% votes. This is a slight decrease from the 100% votes they had in the previous election.

Right, I'm back to reply you here. (I was reading and replying to some other posts). Doing business worldwide has not been very smooth for a lot of folks because of the rise in hyperinflation majorly triggered by COVID-19 and the Russian-Ukraine War. I've fully read your post 3 times and instantly recognized some useful ideas and solutions I can share with you!

First off, for the OMO, since it's only banks and discount houses that can purchase OMO bills from the CBN, it's better to visit the NL treasury bills thread to learn more about how to invest in government bills. It just has to do with walking into a bank and letting them know you want to purchase treasury bills.

Since you are gonna be away for months, it's indeed important to have non-bricks and mortar investments that will NOT take too much of your time or incure overhead costs or production costs. So, investments in the right kind of financial markets instruments is key.


Indeed, most Millionaires and Billionaires have up to "7" streams of income. So, it is good to diversity ones income from one source to many sources. It's like having a table with 4 legs. When you lose 1 of the 4 table legs, it becomes unstable. That's the way the loss of an income source can be minimized by having up to 7 OR more sources of income at the same time. The billionaires have many divisions within there group of companies that keep generating profit margins while solving problems for a large number of people.


Second, I must commend your doggedness in starting registered businesses in Nigeria with all the policy sommersaults and inflationary trends caused by local and international factors. The value addition and processing of vegetable oil is awesome because of the huge demand in countries with large populations. I don't know if it is the processing of soya oil, sesame oil, castor oil, coconut oil or palm oil your factory was into for the domestic or international market?

All the best.

MT:
1. Some of the people that attacked the Capitol hill were jailed but the Kingpin still on the loose. His case was just referred to the Supreme Court.

2. It was shocking you claimed you have travelled. Your reasoning and style of writing are pathetic at minimum. You can actually take a pig from the mud but not the mud from the pig. I will like to know the country that allows you in.

3. Do you know the number of homicide that remains unresolved in the States ?

4. Where did I claim Nigeria is greater than the US ? Don't twist my words. However, living in a rich country does not mean you will be rich. How is your own individual life ? Without you saying a word, I know it is pointing south.

My brother, the last time I flew from London to Lagos, the plane was filled to the brim. My wife who has never believed the poverty stats in Nigeria kept prodding me throughout the flight and asking me how come the plane was this full if there was so much poverty as we were being told.

Even the last time I flew Lagos to Abuja, the plane was jampacked at a fare of 240k return ticket. This Christmas, I hear some airlines are charging nearly 600k for Lagos to some routes and the tickets are sold out. How people dey take make this money for Naija and who are these people really?

Gerrard59:
Just as a clarification, if one is moving to Nigeria, it makes sense to use the Nigerian passport even if the person is a dual citizen of a developed country. The same applies when moving out; use the Nigerian passport when moving out and present the other passport upon arrival.

Gerrard59:
Obviously, the Nigerians you would meet are in the middle class or upper middle class, but the question is how many are these people compared to the rest of the population? That is really the issue. It is like saying because Dangote is a billionaire, then most northerners are middle class or upper middle class, whereas that is false.

There are rich Nigerians and even middle class Nigerians (I don't ascribe to the belief that there is no middle class in Nigeria). But what is the number?

Great!

Hello once again @emmaodet, I had to move the convo to this NL business thread away from the NL sports thread.

Yes to your questions, I'm not an investor in the OMO (Open Money Market) but I did ask someone last week about (he posted on a travel section thread months back about the fact that you had closed down one of your factories) what niche or line of agribusiness your factory was into.

I too have been using NL and other resources to look at more areas of investments that have a high rate of sustainability.

This thread from 2019 that I'm typing on is one of them. You can go through it and see if you can get some legit business ideas.

On the other hand, if overhead costs in physical businesses are way too high with small profit margins (even after trying to reduce costs of production), then it is better to just be an investor in the financial markets and money markets.

I'll share some more info with you based on what your feedback to my post here is.

Cheers.

LordAdam16:
If after all this talk you no collect second passport, I go vex for you. Mark am somewhere!

Yeah ,I believe so too.

Hello once again @emmaodet
I'll get back to you within a few minutes.

Thanks.

XAUBulls:
@emmaodet,
Greetings to you and I hope you're doing okay generally business-wise, and more?

Thank you for your positive feedback to my post. It's always good to share some historical knowledge with folks online and offline (with concrete evidence) because there is always a generational gap in the knowIedge of historical events. I had to just correct some historical narratives on the use of the term "Lagosian."

Enjoy the rest of your work week.

Cheers!

MT:
It is annoying seeing people equating being abroad as equivalent to being rich.

Insulting hardworking Nigerians is a blow below the belt for me.

Anyone that wants to relocate should do it, those that want to be in Nigeria should be left alone.

The end, always justifies the means.

SeaTrade:
GSK is also leaving Kenya ,
Is Kenya under anarchy too?
People do things for different reasons,and also a lot of people are doing very well here.
You expect them to leave what they've built and chart a course to the wilderness with terrible food,harsh weather and weird looking women where they're not even sure of an average life by their own definition?
Funny enough na security work dey wait you for major cities for that nonsense abroad.

MT:
Why are you calling everyone "suffer head" once they do not agree with your position.

Our definition of "success" in life is different.

Someone that could not get visitor's visa on a norm and is now in UK or Canada doing menial job will rightly feel it is a step up.

Some are balling in Nigeria , and you expect them to be chasing goose up and down, attempting to japa-ing.

I only feel sorry for individuals that will be fooled by all these posts. Each individual case is unique and different.

Whatever works for you, just do it, and do not shove your opinion down people's throats

MT:
You are just plain silly.

That citizenship you are chasing, I have 3 in countries you will want to kill yourself for, and I will not sound condescending to the people in Nigeria.

The question you asked shows you dont have a sound IQ.

Each country pays according to how expensive the country is.

In your uneducated mind, you are converting the cost of sweepers in Canada to that of Nigeria using exchange rate. That is what people of unsound mind do.

While you are informing me of the income in Canada, tell me the expenditure in Canada. Is it Naira you will spend in Canada ?.

People like you either remain perpetually in poverty over there or get deported because you cant process thing efficiently.

You are living below the poverty line in the country that you are, and you are not adding any empirical values to the country. Get it right.

MT:
I don't have discourse with unintelligible.

I guess the best achievement in your life was flying a plane with almost 3 lay overs.

There are levels abroad. How are you balling where you claim you are?

Hustling from one menial jobs to the other. I can't and won't dignify you with a response anymore.

Owning passports do not make anyone rich. It s just a travelling paper. The values you posses is the game changer, which obviously you do not have.

Owning Foreign Passport(s) is a MEANS to an END and not the END itself. It does NOT translate to being rich

I wish you tough luck in your miserable life.

Angelfrost:

XAUBulls:
Let me come in here.

You are partly wrong in your response to that guy with regards to your use of the word "Lagosian."

The term "Lagosian" is used exclusively for those from Lagos Island (Eko). I have in my home library magazines from the 1960s to the 1980s that clearly refer to folks or indigenes from Lagos Island (or Eko) as Lagosians. It is the very lazy attitude towards learning history that has led to some younger folks and some Journalists (from the 1990s) who are NOT familiar with the history of Lagos State to erroneously refer to everyone living in Lagos State as a "Lagosian" and this is wrong.

Second, people who are NOT from Lagos State but were simply born in Lagos State by migrant parents are NOT Lagosians but simply "Lagos residents." The Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Enugu, Rivers, or Kano indigenes who were born in Lagos State are simply "Lagos residents" and NOT indigenes (or even Lagosians from Lagos Island).

Those who have ancestral roots primarily in any of the many Ijebu, Awori, and Ogu towns in Lagos State are simply called "Lagos indigenes."

An Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju Lekki, Ojo, Mushin, Isolo or Ikeja indigene will NOT agree to be called a Lagosian (Eko) because originally, the term Lagosian is used exclusively for those from Eko (Lagos Island). This is why a Yoruba person from Ikeja will tell you he or she is going to Eko or Lagos, and you'll start wondering "but this person is wthin Lagos State, why is he or she saying that he or she is going to Lagos?"


So, we have:
1. In Yoruba language Ipinle Eko means Lagos State.
2. In Yoruba language, Eko means Lagos Island.

Just to add, Eko is the shortened form of "Ereko" which means a farmstead. Aside from being a settlement centuries back, Eko was used as a pepper farmstead by the children of Olofin Ogunfunminire who are the original landlords of Eko or Lagos Island till today! The famous White Cap high chiefs are the direct descendants of Olofin Ogunfunminire.



Summary: The word Lagosian historically refers to ONLY indigenes of Lagos Island (Eko).

The most important thing is whether your salary in your new country of residence can meet your needs (and more) in your new country of residence.

Stop comparing apples with oranges. That's not a trait of an educated person.

MT:
I wish I could like your post a million times over. You are apt and wise.

At the bolded:

1. You are correct regarding the family event thing. I have activated that since. Now everyone dey contribute. Some grumble and I would be like - I have been doing that for years, it is your turn to contribute too afterall you are earning in hard currency now.

2. They are simply ignorant. If naira devalues, it does not pay anyone. That money in their naira account automatically devalues and they will buy items , eg building materials, at exorbitant rate too

MT:
Even point 1 is NOT correct.

Op has not seen how families have lost their children into the system. How families are torn apart.

OP has never seen anything

Gadafii:
in the same society where broke men are advised to stay away from women until they are made, some put it succinctly “broke men deserve no pusse “

You now want a made man to stick to one wife, as how

A man who’s made went for what he likes and desire, society says he was pretending when he was broke that he’s just showing his true color now that he’s made, lol


As a man, if you have worked hard and suffer to acquire a lot including power and fame, you deserve lots of pusse too, if you choose to stick to just one, no issues
