CareerRe: Uk Man Surprised Nigeria Average Monthly Salary Is $51 by Etiyeokwe: 12:45pm On Mar 26
helinues:
What people don't know is, price of things are cheap in Nigeria . How much is an average 1 room in Nigeria compared to other countries?

Why are other countries in Africa for example not throwing parties the way we do in Nigeria?

Compare ordinary the price of a beer in Nigeria with other countries and see the reason.

Though the minimum wage in Nigeria is low but with low price of goods and services, we should be doing better if we reduce our unnecessary spendings

Religion, festive activities and parties cost a lot yearly in Nigeria now add expensive data people are still affording even though they don't make money on internet
Nawa o. You said that things are cheaper in Nigeria and still said that data is expensive.
PoliticsRe: Throwback Pictures Of Simon Ekpa When He Won Silver Medal For Nigeria by Etiyeokwe: 11:01pm On Sep 01, 2025
[quote author=FreeStuffsNG post=136657059]None of these pictures show that he ever represented Nigeria at any event. It is a peddled lie peddled for too long until proven otherwise.

I know people who have represented Nigeria, they dorn the national jerseys at these events.


Medal returned to who? Which medal? Which competition and where's the picture of him in Nigerian jersey, competition or him receiving medal for Nigeria? Who are his colleagues?

I read somewhere that he only vowed to return the purported medal and yet to do so but here you are claiming that he returned it? So who is lying now?

I remember how in the past, he used to be referred to as a lawyer and military officer. He is none of the two. Where is the medal and in what competition?

He didn’t represent Nigeria in Athletics anywhere. It is a lie that has been peddled for too long. If he represented Nigeria at any competition, he would have posted the picture all over the internet. I hope you remember the lie in the past that his co-traveller graduated from UNN until it turned out a lie.

I always thought that you are intelligent but sometimes I wonder the kind of argument you make on a public forum. Have you made a thorough research about the claims you are debunking? Simon won silver medals for Nigeria. He is a lawyer and politician.

I do not like his style and I support whatever justice he is facing but let truth be told.
FamilyRe: Lawyer, Can A Father Lawfully Get Custody Of A Child Born Out Of Wedlock? by Etiyeokwe: 10:17am On Aug 28, 2025

He can't unless the child decides to run after him when he/she comes of age.

He can legally own those kids if and only if he pays their mother's dowry.

The law upholds this fact. It is customary.
That was the provisor she missed out. The man must perform some customary rights before claiming the child. Eg. Payment of bride price or performance of other customary rights in accordance with the customs of the

HealthRe: Coartem Price: Malaria Drug Now Costs Nearly ₦10k - Man Laments by Etiyeokwe: 12:34pm On Jul 26, 2025
FreeStuffsNG:
Ignorance is not bliss o wink

Let me break it down for you slowly. Coartem is like what Panadol is to generic paracetamol tablet brands like Emzor Paracetamol tablets, which are cheap and effective. At a time that 10 tablets of panadol was N1,500, ten tablets of Emzor paracetamol was around N150.

It is like what Rolls Royce is to a regular sedan car. They are both car brands but Rolls Royce is pricey.

Since you can't afford Coartem, explain your financial plight to the Pharmacist. The Pharmacist will give you the affordable generic brands of ACTs. These generic brands are effective as well as affordable. Most of them cost between N2k and N3k. You should have gone for that since you can't afford Coartem which is the innovator brand like the Rolls Royce of Arthemether Lumefantrine ACT. Same way you can get some generic antihypertensive medicine brands for N1,500, another brand of same medicine can be as high as N20k!

You go "do pass yourself " and out of ignorance want to place the blame on someone else.

Next time you get to the Pharmacy, tell the Pharmacist that you are not rich and you cannot afford exotic innovative brands.
Do not go there and form to impress the beautiful Pharmacist. You are not rich! Simple wink
When I got to know about this drug in August 2022. I was in Law School in Victoria Island that time. I used to buy this drug at N1,500. Gradually, the price began to go up.

In 2023, it was sold at N3000. Today, it is almost 10k. Something is fundamentally wrong.

PoliticsRe: Zamfara: PDP, APC Bicker Over Attempt To Bribe Trbunal Judges, Impeach Gov Lawal by Etiyeokwe: 12:56pm On Aug 30, 2023
accordadoga26:
Hahahahakikikiki

It's disheartening to see the political landscape in Zamfara marred by allegations of bribery attempts and impeachment discussions. These actions not only undermine the democratic process but also erode public trust in the political system. Both the PDP and APC should prioritize the well-being of the state, Nigeria and its citizens over political power struggles.

Interestingly, while accusations fly between the major parties, it's worth noting that some individuals and factions from various parties, including the LP (Igbo Party), have been involved in corrupt practices. The LP, in particular, often presents itself as a party with a clean slate but has been known to engage in corrupt activities behind the scenes.

Nigeria deserves leadership that focuses on development, security, and the people's welfare. Let's hope for transparency, fair governance, and a commitment to the state's progress, regardless of party affiliations. Ultimately, the citizens' interests should remain at the forefront of political activities
I waited to see whether you would conclude without mentioning LP and the Igbos. I was not disappointed.
TravelRe: My Experience With Loneliness After Canada Migration by Etiyeokwe: 2:41pm On Feb 17, 2023
Confusedgirlie:
Before I left Canada for Nigeria in 2020, I had heard severally that it was very lonely there for Nigerian immigrants. I didn't quite understand what people meant exactly when they said this. However, over time I now have a very good understanding of this particular challenge with migration. Here are some of the things I've learnt on the way. But first, a little background about me.

I'm an introvert and I like my introversion. It gives me a lot of time to think and to be in my own space which I enjoy a lot. I read, write and love to watch documentaries. Those are the three most important things to me in life. When I lived in Nigeria, I lived a mostly secluded life that didn't have a lot of people in it. Regardless, it wasn't boring to me. I went out when I wanted to and took my time for my own activities.

Since being in Canada, my observations have been that it is a lot lonelier here. The reasons are very obvious: there are not a lot of people around me from a culture I'm familiar with (Nigeria), so it's definitely a lot more difficult to interact with others. That's one key point. Another is that I don't really have to go out to purchase things (even groceries), compared to when I was in Nigeria. I can simply order everything I need while sitting in the comfort of my home. Hence, the temptation is to go this way. In addition, I don't have family around, so I'm mostly by myself. And finally, the few friends I have are often busy, so there's hardly time to get together.

That's about it. I think these are some of the challenges Nigerian immigrants face. But the real question is, do I feel lonely?

The honest answer to that is a No. I find that my life is exactly the same way I lived it in Nigeria, only a lot more convenient and comfortable. I can't trade this for anything. In addition, as an introvert who likes to be by herself anyways, it's just a lot more enjoyable.

Nevertheless, there are steps I'm planning to take to change a few things. I am now taking more opportunities to actually go out and buy things even if I don't have to, e.g groceries, clothes, etc. Secondly, I say hello first to strangers and neighbours and get to ask them a few questions. This I wouldn't have done on the first place. Finally, I downloaded a social media application called clubhouse and have been making new friends in my area using this. As a cautious person, I'm taking baby steps here and not jumping straight into friendships I may not like.

Overall, what do I think of being in Canada as an introvert? I enjoy it. My life and choices are a lot better and I find that I have the time to do much more than I was doing back in Nigeria, not hampered by lack of power or resources.

My advice to others is to gauge their expectations carefully as they come to Canada with or without family. It can be lonely here, but that's not because Canada itself is lonely. It's just because you need to dig deep and find yourself in a new country where family is absent and culture is unfamiliar.
It should be "before you left Nigeria for Canada." Meanwhile, this is the main reason you want to bring that young man over to Canada, so you can use him to ease off.

FamilyRe: Marriage: My Mother Inlaw Calls My Wife Everyday Is It Proper? by Etiyeokwe: 1:50pm On Nov 08, 2022
Nawa o. Some people have issues. What's wrong with a mother calling her children on daily basis?

My mother calls me on daily basis even when there's no something serious to discuss. Same way she calls others.

In fact she has a strategy of ensuring that the four of us keep in touch with one another. She will call one person, after talking with him, she will tell the person to call the other and tell him to call ber. Same goes round.

Most of the people who gave weird responses here are unmarried.

This Momodu loud mouth that Davido disgraced while calling him his boy won't keep quiet still. Onijekuje

All the people listed are still with Tinubu, including Ambode because na Tinubu built them. Hence this loud mouth should shut up.


Heck, Ambode knew he was the one who fvcked up. Look at Sanwo Olu almost completing not just one but two light railway for Lagos whereas Ambode neglected the one he was left with. But see Sanwo Olu completing two mega railway. It was Ambode who deviated from the plan.

Meanwhile, I'm seeing same hatefilled souls from the sad east who are obsessed with Tinubu didn't rule them or their papa in their southeast region nor their President. They won't face their leaders in the southeast but will be crying over Tinubu who didn't rule them or their papa. If you hatefilled souls don't leave Tinubu alone, you will die a miserable death! He didn't rule you or your papa.
Who built Tinubu? Illiteracy remains the greatest bane of the Nigerian society.

PoliticsAnambra State Government Rejects Financial Appeal By The Law Students by Etiyeokwe(op): 9:02am On Aug 16, 2022
The body which is known as the National Association of Anambra Law School Students, delivered a letter titled ‘APPEAL FOR EDUCATION SUPPORT (BURSARY)' to the office of the state Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, on the 24th of May, 2022. The letter, which was delivered by delegates from the Students’ body was warmly received by the Chief of staff. The delegates subsequently had meetings with the Commissioner for education, Commissioner for justice, Attorney general of the state and Secretary to the state government, at different dates and times.
According to the contents of the letter, it stated that the appeal became necessary following financial difficulties which posed threats to most of the students in their academic pursuits.
Law school is expensive. It poses threat to the average Nigerian, and because of this, some students have resorted to their state governments for assistance.
Yobe state government gave a cash of N500,000 ( five hundred thousand naira) only and a brand new Lenovo laptop to each of their law school students. Enugu state government doled out N16m for 160 law school students who are indigenes of Enugu state. Other States are, Sokoto, Boronu, Delta, Rivers,etc.
Currently, there are more than 250 law school students from Anambra state, who are undergoing one year programme across the six Nigerian law schools. The implication of this is that, at the end of 2022, Anambra state will be producing more than 250 Barristers and Solicitors.
Unfortunately, after several meetings, the appeal was turned down on the ground that the state is facing security challenges, and that such appeal is not in its priority.
In sane countries, students, especially those in the postgraduate studies, have access to grants which enable them pursue their careers with ease. But in Nigeria, it’s the opposite. Education is relegated to the background.
