TravelRe: I Have Finally Left Nigeria by Eriokanmi:
Togobroz:
Happy new month to everyone and I wish to thank God for his grace so far.

I have been a hustler for long trying to make ends meet and at a point I was able to save about 1.5million naira to travel to China but unfortunately I was duped and my hard earned money went to voicemail. I kept struggling and saving money to go to Europe but I was denied visa twice to two different countries and then I gave up.

I decided not to travel again but the stress and insecurity in Nigeria has been worrisome especially in my region so I decided to travel to any french speaking African country and just experience a whole new different life outside Nigeria. My initial plan was to go to Burkina Faso or Equitorial Guinea and I did some research that would guide me as I didn't know anyone in both countries and I was just determined to go on this adventure myself.

I saved up some money which got to almost 3 million naira and then I crossed my heart and made my trip. From Nigeria I crossed into Benin Republic and then to Togo where I was supposed to cross to Burkina Faso. On getting to Togo it was quite late so I had to pass the night in a cheap hotel of 2000cfa franc. In the hotel I met some Nigerians going to Ghana with some friends based in Togo. I was hearing their conversations as they drank at the bar while I sat alone with a bottle of their local beer Castle.

Being that in Togo I discovered they hardly speak English, I decided to introduce myself to those Nigerians so that I can make some enquiry from them and that was how we all got talking and gisting till late night. The guys based in Togo told me alot about Togo and how life is cheap if one has some capital to get accommodation and start a small business. I was made to understand there is steady light, water and security in the small country. The next day I was suppose to leave for Burkina Faso I decided to pay for the hotel room for a week and explore Togo a bit. The guys I met that were based in Togo already were really helpful and they took out time to show me around, know the prices of stuffs and where to buy cheap stuffs as well. I began to fall in love with the country except for the fact that most people don't understand English, though some try to understand and speak a little so you have to scatter the English for them to understand.

I decided to find a house and few days was enough for that. I got a room and parlor self contained house for 30,000cfa a month and paid a year which is 360,000cfa. They hold 6 months as deposit and after six months I start paying 30,000cfa monthly or anyhow I wish to stretch it based on my pocket. I just furnished it a little and I am just chilling with steady light on a brief. The house has a prepaid meter so I recharge and use according to my power.

After making some deep enquiry about what business to start at least for now, I bought a tricycle they call Apsonic here in Togo. It cost 1.4million cfa brand new plus the plate number registration and all. Then I found a driver who took it on hire purchase to balance 2.5million cfa at 25,000cfa per week.

My good people, I know I have not reached where I am going but I bless God for where I am coming from. Right now I just relax myself planning my next move while every Saturday I wait to receive my weekly salary. With life here if you are someone that knows how to manage, even 1000cfa can feed you a whole day so I am really doing my best to see how much I can save by the end of this year over here and know my next move.

Please you all pray for me as I also pray for you all. The journey of a thousand miles always start with a footstep.
Go and succeed. Try learning French. You can even achieve this on your own but you have to be serious about it. All you need is shikini money to subscribe to their one year package and your android phone. You'd be able to speak French like locals. Try babbel.com. I'm a living witness. Na my oyinbo partner gave me the info about the site. Now, I speak French fluently. If you attend their classes too, it would help you cope and learn faster. Good luck. You'd surely get to your destination.

Please be very up to date about the events in these countries!

The military junta are not handing over power in any way
I'm not oblivious of the goings-on in Sudan. There will be an election next year and time table had been drawn up for handover already. Just like I mentioned in my earlier post, the military will leave and I hope the civilians won't turn to their old ways by the time they take over else, there'd be another coup. African politicians are super corrupt. Nigeria is even worse off.

PoliticsRe: Akinwunmi Ambode Urges The Youths To Get Their PVCs. by Eriokanmi:
The best man ever. Lagos will forever be grateful to you, Mr workaholic. You came and in less than 3 years you did what Tinubu couldn't do in 8 years. Fashola's performance in 8 years only matched your 3 years performance. Your administration recorded budget surplus for the first time in lagos in decades. We all knew what happened. Just because you blocked all their means of defrauding lagos and used the funds for massive projects which are visible to the eyes, they said you're not a democrat and blocked all your sources of finance to do all the remaining projects. They used the state assembly headed by Hon. Obasa to fight you. They even said you abandoned the so called legacy of tinubu but you ordered nearly 800 buses to complement Fashola's work, you even built the ultra modern oshodi bus terminal rated one of the best on the continent. You constructed the BRT lane from oshodi to oja oba...I wonder which legacy of tinubu you actually abandoned.

If all they meant by saying you're not a democrat or a party man that, you stopped giving contracts to Tinubu's cronies, those who would only be awarded such contracts but do a wishy-washy job or even abandon the job after mobilisation had been collected and the record would show at Alausa that the same projects had been constructed and commisioned (and this will be the trend,if tinubu becomes president,God forbid. There are men of integrity who can perform amongst us if we must produce the next presidential candidate). Under your administration, I got my C of O done in less than 3 months, what used to take over a year to process.

We know someone like you is all we need in lagos and Nigeria but people like you would always face hindrances because the system is populated by political wolves and hyenas who only profit in politics by shortchanging those they are meant to serve.

We will never forget you Ambode. This time in your tenure, you had completed massive projects . I can't forget the jubilee bridge you delivered in less than 18 months , ahead of schedule. Kudos sir.

In addition, if your vehicle gets hit either during the day or at night in traffic, don't come down in a hurry rather, look behind you and be sure you're safe before you begin speaking grammar with the driver because it could be a tactic to get you off the car so the men on the under world would have their way.

When driving on the highway and you see an okada rider shouting , tayaaa, tayaaa, don't stop the car. If you do, his cohorts would surface from nowhere and attack you. Whether you're feeling uncomfortable on the steering or not, ensure you drive a distance away until you get to a safe place before you stop the car and check your tyres.

Cameroun is not a west Afrique nation, but a Central Afrique. EQG on the other hand is also Spanish colonized Rich Central Afrique nation with Malabo as it's capital. Small but rich and organized place. Most Camerounian take to EQG as their own America and very few EQGns stays in Cameroun because they see Cameronians as corrupt people, and on the other side Cameroun learn their corruptions tendencies from the giant of Africa because because of the common boundaries the share with us from Taraba, Cross River et' al. Purely 95% Christian nation, with less than 3% Muslim, you can imagine what a sweet nation such a country will be, sorry I am not sounding religious but the obvious fact.
Yea very peaceful a country.

Tales by moonlight

CBN knows how to collect the loan when the time comes,

Since these products follow a chain during sales to get to the consumers, the farmers alone cannot determine the prices of this products

For example, when a bag of beans was sold for 30k in Taraba, same was selling at 65k in Enugu state
Is this same fault of the farmer?
Lies. How much 20k trader moni has been recovered so far? Were you born during the Udoji era? Go and read about it. No single Nigerian who benefited from the largesse ever paid back.

God will judge all the official criminals in this country! All the politicians that plunged our nation into this quagmire will forever live with regrets and incurable diseases. No matter the political party, whether APC or PDP or APGA they would be thrown in the dustbin of history and their supporters will wallow in shame and penury just the way they have grounded this nations economy.
Stop it. Do the needful next year and all these nonsense would stop. Enough said.

Btw, the international organisation who said corruption in this government is unprecedented. We can all see they aren't lying but when they declared this with proofs, the APC fumed. . This is just one out of the many ways they've scammed Nigerians inn the last 7 years. Imagine the loan was given to young graduates who were ready to enter the bush and grow rice, with close monitoring? In the next 3 years, Nigeria would have been exploring rice but they'd never do that. They prefer giving the loan to their own people. 2023 is around the corner. If you play into their tracks again, such a mess as this would always happen.

Many villagers are feared killed after terrorists suspected to be Fulani herdsmen militia in the early hours of Sunday attacked Atak-Mawe community in Zangon Kataf local government area of Kaduna state, North-West Nigeria.

A source, who confirmed the attack to Middle Belt Times, said the terrorists invaded the community at about 3am on Sunday and began shooting sporadically.

As of the time of filing this report, this newspaper could not authoritatively confirm the casualty figure even though the source said many are feared killed.

Simply put, the result of bad leadership. Nigeria is drifting towards a failed state. What's on their mind now is all about their business...which is politics and 2023. They care less about the populace who keep voting them into power with nothing to show for the efforts. Na revolution go end all these nonsense. They never believed there would be endsars.

bigpicture001:
...My friend whose dad passed on two months ago and who was so sure he will henceforth become a big boy got the shock of his life when his dad's will was read to them by his father's lawyer...

In the will his dad gave him Nothing which was unusual especially being the eldest son and coming from the Igbo tribe.. his father owns two filling station, a big and very busy half-warehouse store where he sells dangote cement wholesale, three commercial houses , a sign supermarket,3 pieces of land also one SUV and two small cars.

We suspect, it may be connected to his visibly wayward lifestyle, he has twice been sent packing from two different private University in the south east over tuancy and suspected cultism....more shocking is the late father handing over the day to day running of the firm to his oldest daughter "not his wife"

The said girl is just 24 years old but graduated as second best in the dept of economic then..his father even helped her secure a lecturing job 5months before his demise..he stated that his wife will only be an important signitory for transaction worth a million and above.

He added a clause that his son can join the management of the firms and estate only when he graduates from any University with at least a pass and record less than 7police cases before he turns 28..

Even at that he can eventually take over the firm after joining management for minimum 4years...

Abeg oo. is this. Dead man not wicked... Allowing a girl lead the house when her mum is still alive.. although she is older than the guy.. sh is the first child
OP, e be like say na you be the person in this case, that's if the story is true. Accept the will in good fate. It's fair enough.

socialmediaman:
You are responsible for achieving one of many possible destinies on your path (based on your choices, decisions, other factors), however, the woman you marry and live with has everything to do with what choices and decisions you make in life. I'll give you a simple example

You have a very big presentation tomorrow, and you need to stay awake tonight to study and make final prep. You're about to go and study, but there's an argument between you and your wife. After the argument is resolved, there is sex to wrap things up, and you're exhausted... till tomorrow morning. You didn't prepare, and your presentation is a flop!

You can call the woman evil all you want, but it was your choice to avoid the argument and sex, knowing you have a presentation the next day. It's on You, however, if your wife had cared about your presentation, she could as well have been supportive and given you a break. That's why they say a woman can make or break you. It's not because she has power over you, it's because she has a reset key you may need frequently
Nice. If you have any meaningful engagement, do not give-in to anything that could resent your wife else, she'd mess things up. Women are necessary evil. Once I tell my wife I'm going for an interview, I've gotten the result already even before going. One thing could lead to another and the whole thing would be flopped. The moment I stopped telling her things , I began to see meaningful progress. Not because she's possessed. That's the way they are . I was traveling out of the country in 2015 and she Knew how early my flight was. She dragged me all of a sudden to have sex with her. Eventually, I missed my flight that morning . I felt so bad when i returned home. She wasn't even feeling any worried or bothered about it.

Love your wife dearly but don't be a woman wrapper. There are some critical decisions, including that of business you don't share with her. Rather, share with God. Most women would even impede you from giving the right offering to the men of God or church. That's when she'd present some old expenses you've not fulfilled, just to discourage you.
