santaclaws: I doubt the authenticity of this story. If this is true, that means the riverine community where they died basically held their corpses to ransom... In a country with a government? 😧
How can we be sure that the community doesn't connive to drown outsiders as a form of sacrifice to their "river goddess" cos what the heck is going on? 🤷🏾♂️
They probably thought since the story has gone viral they can make money off it but no one is having it, the are now toe bare the burden of looking fru where she was buried each passing day!
I am not supporting thuggery or illegal fees, but have you seen or looked at what they collect at Lagos Port? even from personal cars? I have 1st hand experience of this. The writer should say so for all part
groovvyy: lol... Firstly, ask those working multiple hours to return to Nigeria, and they will tell you "No".
Secondly, in the UK, I'm currently only doing about 10 percent of how much work I did in Nigeria. However, I'm saving ten times more than I could in Nigeria, after eating better and living a better quality life. Your children will even have access to education at no cost. You'll also have access to good healthcare at no cost.
It's important to note that it is not everyone that works long hours. Each situation is unique and may not apply universally.
That guy has co co nut head no matter how you explain, he is bent on his own dumb narrative!
Zackattack: Take a cue from @groovvyy's last mention on my post. He made a very good point countering my argument. You're just cursing and being hedious without saying anything meaningful.
orite orite you wanna be noticed, you have been noticed now foxtrot Oscar
Trustmea: I have hisense and samsung and i can tell you that the picture of the hisense is quite amazing than samsung. Hisense uled can beat any lg or samsung series any day
There are loads of fake Samsung and LG in Nigeria. This was why I bought hisense as well.but if you manage to buy the Originals of Samsung and LG or Sony, they are the best.
Zackattack: No offense but most of you living in the UK are actually living like slaves. Working countless shift just to pay insurmountable bills is no life for anyone in this short period that we're to exist in this world.
Dumbest post ever in my entire membership of nairaland,U pay more bills in Nigeria than us living in the UK. fat is, people like you are to Dumb and brainwashed to know this hence you are suffering and smiling simply put. No offence. You pay average of 25k for a flat Electricity you receive less than 50% of, you pay Road tax and your roads are craap, Death trap. Your gas bill does not reflect you wages. Your inflation pointers are at roof top. The indirect taxation and multiple taxation is Evil.I live in both countries so I'm sure i can tell the difference, you lots comparing Uk and Nigeria aint shte.
Zackattack: I don't expect you to comprehend a knowledgeable response. The other person gave you a proper illustration with percentage and you still didn't grasp it. There's a proverbial that says the ways of a dummy is wise in his own eyes.
Righteousness2: According to intelligence information, he was murdered in captivity in mid January by his captors from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization.
The recovery of his body Shows the high Value ISRAEL has for its people. Even the body of the dead is Fought for.
On the other Hand the TERRORISTS place zero value on their living talkless of those who are dead. They make use of their kids and women as human shield in a war. They plant rocket launchers and all sorts of weapons right inside the locations and residences of their own. Even babies are not spared as they rockets launchers are fired rigbt from their cradle place.
ISRAEL is Light and Life The Terrorists are Darkness and Death.
Yesterday! Today! Tommorrow ! Forever! I STAND 500% With ISRAEL, THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY! ALL THE WAY.
Bross no vex ohh, U don see these guys mention GOD name for once in every or all of their conversations and announcement?
mariahAngel: Are you tempted by your sister-in-law or what?

mamawa123: Go read @zealoy original post. He said his brother paid off £25,000 while working 20 hours per week as a student.
I know some students do under-the-table jobs too, but my comment was based on his post that his brother was able to pay off £25,000 in 2 years while working 20 hours a week.
This is a country where most full-timers are struggling to make just £25000 to £30000 per year. Just go to a store like ASDA or Lidi and find out how much their hourly wage is for entry-level associates.
I have been around for a few minutes, and I know what is going on.
Them lie small there or just exaggerated thing or E no hear wetin dem tell am
mamawa123: I am not disputing your claim that your brother paid off £25k in less than 2 years while working 20 hours per week.
Most jobs that are available are mostly £9 to £12 jobs. I don’t know how your brother able to payoff £25k in less than 2 years while working 20 hours per week.
Let us even assumed that your brother were making £15 per hour then.
In a year: £15 x 20 hours x 52 weeks = £15600
For 2 years: £15600 x 2 = £31200
You still have to factor in the income tax. He will be taxed on any money he made above £12570.
31200 - 12570 = 18630
18630 x 20% =£3726 will be his tax.
31200 - 3726 = £27474
If he was making £15 an hour then, his income less tax was £27474.
So how will he be able to payoff £25000 in less than 2 years?
What magic did they use to achieve the bolded for 20hrs a week? I wanna know
mamawa123: This made me laugh “If you are not lazy, you can never be broke”
Where are you guys getting all these information from?
Bro that guys is saying the truth, as a student I use to just go to construction site with my card and do general labour for the dy and earn £40 back then. But hard work.
Mindlog: Being broke here in the UK when you are a legal resident apart from being sick (physically/mentally)to work means any of these: you are too lazy to work, you are on drugs or a gambler.
being broke in the Uk is different to being broke in Nigeria.. Being broke in the Uk means you cannot afford to go on holidays, cant buy fancy clothes or have savings and extra cash to send to family broad. being broke in Nigeria means zero over 100.

you will soon notice that on digital platform, people who want stuff like what you are providing do not waste time to do phone calls, as you quoted the KW/h you claim you sell, you should have added the price as well to each power grade, most of us already know what KWh and KVAs we need, so if you are the direct seller, put your prices including installation cost. and update it when it varies up or down. No disrespect meant.
Zealoy: honestly if u are not lazy u can never be broke even here in Nigeria, come to lagos state there's no how u won't see wat to do to fetch u money legally
Bro existence money different from progress money, one is to survive the other is to build house buy cars and invest, two different things.
Zealoy: she's not telling u the truth or she's lazy to work
nah wetin she dey use dey Job una, if you dig well, U go find out say she get house for lekkie dey dodge come 9ja and dodge go back make winch people nor tap her Wifi
Nigerians don’t like the truth, when you tell them the real reality, they believe you don’t wish them well.
Exactly, it isn't all rosy down here, but you got to take responsibility for your actions, be ready cos this place is brutal to lazy people ,it don't give you no chance.
CoronaVirusPro: You still my buttressing my point. (Refer to my previous posts)
People don’t look at your circumstances and capabilities anymore, and just sell you fictions that are not realistic.
As for your friend, by the time you state his qualifications, age and industry experience, you will realize he could do that easily cos he planned well, and that what people fail to mention which has deceived and dealt with many.
I agree with your point, but what i am trying to say is this, if you are not ready whether in Nigeria or abroad you wont make it, you will just exist. In life you got to come to the table prepared.
waternogetememy: U ARE FORCING YOURSELF INTO A DISCUSSION BEING HAD BY SENSIBLE MEN.
U ARE JUST HERE DEPICTING YOURSELF AS INFERIOR AND UNREASONABLE.
MAYBE YOU ARE POORLY EDUCATED, IF EDUCATED AT ALL.
EVERYTHING YOU WROTE HERE IS POOR AND LACKING BASIC COMPREHENSION.
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, EVENTUALLY, U WILL BE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THAT JAKPA IS A VERY SELFISH MOVE AND NO DIFFERNT FROM THE POLITICAL ELITE LOOTING THE NATION TO POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
Mr A is a 35 year old plumber who has successfully built a house in Mowe and drives a car of his own. He is an average Nigerian and able to afford basics for his family.
Mr A will need to sell his house and car to be able to afford Visa application, flight, COS and landing cost.
In the instance above, Mr A relocating would be a set-back. The time, necessary qualification and market experience is not on his side. Embarking on such move will be disastrous.
Mr A would have fit in, if he was single and ready to dedicate another 10-15 years to start afresh, which is not guaranteed.
Mr A can work it out and send his kids studies and visit if permitted.
Do you get where I am coming from?
I get it but you are wrong, there is no one size fits all. Everyone is different some persons are just more ready than others. Let me give you an example, A family friend just relocated to the Uk.he is one year my junior in school, He sold his house when coming last year. He arrived here legit with right to work .Now he has 1st Degree Elect Elect, has more than 15 years working xpirience in that field. Located in PH.He sold his house N45m, use part to relocate his family into a good estate in PH near stadium rd. he landed a good job based in Leeds,Feb this year when the ££££££ was 2000 plus we both came to Nigeria and we both bought fresh land in a developing estate for N19M.With he projection we have, he should finish the carcass of this new build in 2 years.He has rented a nice 4 bed duplex for wife and kids. Now I am not trying to say this will work for everyone but if you come prepared then yu are good to go. You will make money very fast and can return to invest in that dream idea that you always have.
waternogetememy: LOOK AROUND VERY WELL IN THAT NIGERIA, NO ETHNIC GROUP IS EXEMPT FROM SUFFERING.
SO, ALL THIS ETHNIC NOISE U MAKE, ONLY DEPICTS YOUR ILLITERACY ON THE DISCUSSION TO MOVE A NATION FORWARD.
DO THEY NOT HAVE VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS IN UK, FRANCE, GERMANY, CHINA AND RUSSIA?
U HAVE EXHAUSTED YOUR TRIBAL CARD, WE WILL NOW CONTINUE TO DISCUSS WITHOUT YOUR DUMBASS.
Nah in the Uk everyone has equal right to live work buy and sell where they deem fit.No tell me how many persons do you know own shops at main market Onitsh? whom are from Benin, or delta states?as much as you castigate the westerners they are very open and even allow others to trade there, this is not tribal, Im arguing a genuine reality amongst a group of persons who are greedy and one of them here is talking about fighting for Nigeria. This was one of the reason Mr WIKE death with you lot.Yes the Uk have various few Ethnic groups but I am sure you bringing up this sillyness do not even know them yet you wanna act exposed and current when infact your gist are back bar legit!
waternogetememy: OK, U ARE THE PEOPLE CONSTITUTING NUISANCE IN GHANA?
DO U KNOW THE GHANIANS ARE COMPLAINIG ABOUT YOU LIVING IN THEIR COUNTRY?
IF JERRY RAWLINGS NEVER LED A REVOLUTION, DO U THINK YOU CAN BE THERE?
look at this , who lives in Ghana, I live in the Uk that's where Charlie is the King, I have just gone fru your post and realized you are IGBO, you guys are politically useless, you lot are so greedy and silly you wont see freedom if put right in front of your nose. You lot occupy 5 states and speak one language yet you lot cannot even form an Ideology let a lone a political party full of you kinsmen with same effort to rule over your own lands. Your thieving elders run straight to ABJ to mingle with the rest of the thieves from the rest of the country for personal gains and effort. Bro if anyone is preaching togetherness, you lot from the east should shuut it and bow ur heads in shame .I'm from Delta and we have loads of different Ethnic group which is a set back. But you Easterners what ur xcuse if not greet and stupidity?
