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

Thanks.

@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!

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.

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.

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

"I am yet to see anybody that Japa from Nigeria and still remain poor".
You are very wrong on this, them plenty o, go to Canada and see poor homeless Nigerians living in makeshift structures.

Gadafii:
Most singke mothers are not fit to take proper care of children especially the male child, he needs his father in his life so he doesn’t turn out a simp, or toxic


The woman was not even remorseful she was still laughing and dancing while the young man was crying, she’s yet to realize the damage she’s doing to him, his friends in school or in the hood are going to be talking back at him using his mom to score points, yes it happens all the time


So for how long is he going to be fighting men off his stvpid mom

If this woman had a man in her life I doubt this would be happening, very pathetic

casualobserver:
Like I said stick to the topic which was the importance of diaspora remittance. If you had not gone off topic you won’t have made a f o o l of yourself for the world to se time and time again. If you want to go off topic after you have been schooled and discuss a different topic, feel free to find another du11ard luke yourself to engage in debate. Nairaland is not short in supply of low IQ uninformed frustrated people like yourself who do not wish to learn or to be corrected and who will gladly engage you In ignorant conversations just for the sake or arguing.

My advice to you is to stick to topics commensurate with your IQ and exposure like Nollywood and BBNaiaja! This is clearly above your level of intellect and your pay grade!!

I only responded to you because others are reading and some will learn. I have no interest in engaging dim wits My job is done!
Consider yourself ignored henceforth.

Etosha:
I will travel the world when I have sufficient money. But to get tucked away in a corner somewhere in Europe, Asia or America where there's little or no opportunity to be known or achieve something remarkable ( apart from an easy life of eating good food and enjoying basic amenities) doesn't make sense to me.
Something within me cries for achievements and fame... These are easier to attain here than anywhere outside my Homeland.
Those who are making it here have not got two heads. We will slug it out together here in naija...

pansophist:
Depends on the destination though. If the country ends with STAN, such as Afganistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgistan, or Uzbekistan, please stay in Nigeria.

Like I said many of you do not understand english. My comment was about forex. Read what I said again. I said you and anyone who wants to japa are free to go. We need your forex. Wetin be the fight again?

This is the problem with Nigerians. You tell them the house is on the left they start arguing about how the man who owns the house killed his wife. Is that what I said or my business? Learn to stay on topic.

I said japa is our largest source of forex, so if you want to japa feel free and whatever you see you see.
I don’t know why you are arguing over the state of the country as if we do t know, or as if anyone is disagreeing with you that there are no jobs. Did I not say in the post there are no jobs in the country.

Jesus wept!!!

Special thanks to Kipaji and efficiencie for the graphs and hilarious comments.

I have previously written here that my parents built their wealthy by owning hotels, which I managed. So, I know the economics behind sex in Nigeria. I have dealt with sexually starved men and seen the extent Nigerian men can do to put their heads inside.

To the topic, Durex has always been expensive depending on the pharmacy it is purchased from. Because of these married men – the majority of men who patronize these girls are married – would not want to be seen with condoms, they rarely take condoms home. So, as a hotel, it is extremely important to stock them for customers’ patronage. As a business, I marked up the price by 200%. It is your choice as a customer to decline buying, but when the sex escort declines to have raw sex (a significant number did raw sex), they resort to buying the condom. I mandated the condoms must be sold in packs rather than sachets, but many men complained since they don’t get to use all the sachets. So, I bent to their wishes by implementing the sachetization of condoms.

The most affordable is Gold Circle, but as inflation hit Nigeria hard especially as the incompetent feudalist by name Buhari ascended to power in 2015 and continued for eight years, GC prices soared. But even as GC prices ballooned, so did Durex. There are alternatives like Kiss, RoughRider and many I cannot tell. I even had a customer who worked with USAID who supplied me with USAID approved condom. I had one who supplied me with UN approved condoms. They were free to me, which I sold at twice the rate of Kiss – which customers preferred.

Durex by patrons is confirmed to be the best and as it offers varieties depending on the user’s desires, it is covers everyone. But it is the most expensive which is easily assessible. There is one by name Ultra black something I cannot recall whose price was very high, but promised near-raw feeling. Near-raw because if it didn’t dey, it didn’t dey.


Whether promiscuous men will reduce their lascivious activities, that would not happen. I had customers who thronged in during COVID. Some men cannot do without sex – it is hormonal, cannot blame them sha. The use of porn majorly works with younger men, not older men who are the major customers and biggest spenders. The demand for sex is very high in Nigeria. The price increase will no doubt lead to an increase in STD/STIs as poorer men will want to risk it. But I strongly advise against this because the benefit in sexual intercourse with various women is very minimal compared to the risks.

The economy does affect escort prices especially outside Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcourt. The prices of escorts has remained steady in parts of Lagos like Lekki, VI and some parts of Ikeja. The same applies to Asokoro, Maitama and Wuse 2. Increased supply of yummy, succulent and beautiful girls should bring down prices, one might think. After all, there is a new 18 year old girl every day. But there is this seemingly belief amongst girls that they would get one big spender, partly true in those locations. But as Nigeria receives fewer tourists compared to say South Africa or Namibia, the number of big spenders will decrease.

So, prices should reduce outside those abovementioned locations. Overall, demand would remain constant. There is a hooge demand for sex by Nigerian men. It is not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, my advice to escorts is to position them for diasporan folks who will visit Nigeria sexually starved. Except for married men, very few Nigerian males who emigrated recently dey fvck steadily.

To them, £100 will be nothing. To you as an escort, it is everything.

Kipaji:
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read OP's post like a serious economics article

Kipaji:
What have I just read?

Sexconomics. If economics was about the market of condoms, dilldos, prostitutes, instead of generic things like apples and cars, economics would have been the favorite subject in school. Guys, would read advanced theories to decipher the economics of sex

Funny

Kipaji:
The price of condoms in the market increased and the demand has now reduced.
Prof. Guobe is concerned with the negative externalities on society at large. According to him, this increase in price will yield an increase in the proportion of unsafe in the populace. This could significantly increase the rate of STDs, unwanted pregnancy, and paternity fraud out there.

Prof. Guobe, what can be done to solve this problem? Would you suggest an intervention of the government? Do you think the market (the buyers and sellers) can solve it on its own? Or do you have a third alternative?

Just to jerk off 🤦‍♂️ , tell me why these 304s won’t keep cashing out doing what they’re doing.. 🤷🏼

Offpoint1:
I regret nothings, but from next year... I will give less. 95% of my incomes this year went into giving.

I hate the fact that once you give to a Nigerian, they have 98% possibilities of coming to back to ask again when they're in need.

I love giving but hate when people abused it.


And lastly, next year I'm NEVER lending anyone money. Most Nigerian "Next week" is eternity.

If you want me to lend you N10, I'm giving you N30.
