I’m patiently waiting for the time satanic Tinubu will say that his first four years are not enough to fix Nigeria that we should give him additional four years.

How can a president be so wicked to his citizens if not because he is a satanic agent sent from the pit of hell to make people die of hunger, poverty and hopelessness.

Satanic Tinubu your days are numbered.

The house will definitely be face me and face you

The level of hardship Nigerians are experiencing is unimaginable. You speedily increased the pump price while the new minimum wage is still going through different processes. Any policy that will cause more hardship for the citizens is swiftly implemented but any policy that may alleviate the sufferings of people will have to go through different processes and approvals before it’s implemented.

Tinubu is a satanic agent. Only rigging will make him win his second tenure. There may be national unrest and intense civil, tribal and religious war in 2027

Tell Tinubu to increase it nah. Of all the problems that Nigeria has, it’s only tax you talked about. Why didn’t you talk about the minimum wage that is very low, talk about poor healthcare system, talk about the corruption, talk about the insecurities. Go tell Tinubu to tax Nigerians to the point of death. Isn’t it your desire to have the world population reduced? Tell him to tax the poor till they can’t breathe anymore.

Evil party that brought unbearable hardship upon Nigerians

After making tough economic and financial policies coupled with rampant mass destruction of farmlands by terrorists and bandits that our military men are unable to defeat, you’re expecting the prices of different consumable goods to drop drastically. That’s a big joke.

Make the right economic policies and watch how the prices drop gradually.

Mikel, you talk too much. If you were exceptional and outstanding, your short absence from Chelsea wouldn’t make Chelsea replace you.

My experience in Ivory Coast, though brief, left a lasting impression on me. I had the privilege of spending a week exploring various parts of the country, and Abidjan stood out for its beauty and remarkable infrastructure. One of the first things that struck me was the excellent road network. The roads in Abidjan are clean, wide, and dualized to modern standards, providing smooth and efficient transport throughout the city. It was refreshing to see how well-maintained the roads were, contributing to the city’s overall sense of organization and development.

Abidjan’s beauty extends beyond its roads, as it is a city marked by growth and prosperity. The skyline is dotted with towering skyscrapers, modern office buildings, and numerous multinational companies that have made it their home. The city feels well-planned, with a balance between business and everyday life.

During my visit, I explored several parts of Abidjan, each offering its own unique atmosphere:

• Plateau: The business and administrative hub, filled with skyscrapers, banks, and government offices, representing the city’s financial pulse.
• Cocody: An upscale residential area, home to embassies, universities, and the Presidential Palace, with leafy streets and luxury hotels.
• Marcory: A cosmopolitan district known for shopping, dining, and entertainment, catering to both locals and expatriates.
• Treichville: A lively area famous for its markets, rich cultural scene, and the Autonomous Port of Abidjan.
• Yopougon: The largest and most populous commune, celebrated for its nightlife, local eateries, and cultural vibrancy.
• Adjame: A bustling commercial hub known for its sprawling markets and strong Nigerian presence. Adjame hosts a large Yoruba community, and the area is alive with young Nigerians, especially Igbos, who are actively engaged in various businesses. This sense of entrepreneurship adds to the vibrancy of the area, making it a dynamic part of the city.

Abidjan is also home to a diverse mix of expatriates from Canada, France, Lebanon, Europe, and Belgium, many of whom have set up successful businesses. The city’s thriving economic atmosphere is a testament to the opportunities available for both locals and foreigners.

Though my time was limited, I could sense the dynamism and promise that Abidjan offers. Ivory Coast, especially Abidjan, gave me a glimpse of the country’s potential, its beauty, and the solid foundation it has laid in infrastructure and economic development.

Hello everyone,

I’d like to share my detailed experience as a Nigerian who spent several months in Ghana last year. Ghana is a beautiful country with a unique blend of cultures, warm people, and a sense of peace that can be hard to find elsewhere. However, my stay also revealed a few complexities that make living there both fascinating and challenging.

Respect for Law and Order:
One of the first things that struck me in Ghana was how much the people respect the rule of law. The general population seems to have a strong sense of duty when it comes to following the laws that govern them. This contributes greatly to the peaceful atmosphere in the country. Ghanaians value order, and their commitment to obeying the law is evident in their day-to-day lives. The streets feel safe, and there’s a sense of calm that you don’t always find in other parts of West Africa.

Security and Safety:
Security in Ghana is something I truly admired. I was amazed when the person I visited casually ordered an Uber around 2 AM. This level of safety is something I didn’t expect. People walk freely at night, with little to no concern about their safety. Security is a major plus in Ghana, and it allows you to live without constantly worrying about your personal safety or your belongings. This peace of mind is rare and valuable.

Power Supply:
Another aspect of life in Ghana that stood out to me was the stable power supply. It’s such a relief to have consistent electricity, something that can’t be taken for granted in many parts of West Africa. Ghana uses prepaid meters throughout the country, which helps people manage their electricity usage more effectively. The consistent power supply really enhances the quality of life, allowing businesses to operate smoothly and households to function without the constant disruption of power outages.

Nigerian Community in Ghana:
During my stay, I discovered that there is a significant Nigerian presence in Ghana. I met many fellow Nigerians, and it was interesting to see the different paths they had taken. Some Nigerians in Ghana are incredibly hardworking, setting up successful businesses and integrating well into the local economy. However, not all the stories are positive. Unfortunately, there are also young Nigerians involved in less reputable activities, such as internet fraud and prostitution. It’s disheartening to see, but it’s a reality that exists.

Cost of Living and Housing:
One of the challenges I faced in Ghana was the high cost of living, particularly when it comes to housing. Renting accommodation in Ghana can be quite expensive. To give you an idea, the cost of renting a single-room apartment in Ghana could easily get you a standard two-bedroom flat in Nigeria. This makes it difficult for many people to afford decent housing. As a result, some people live in shanties or substandard conditions, struggling to make ends meet. If you’re planning to move to Ghana, it’s important to be prepared for the high cost of living, especially when it comes to rent.

Employment Opportunities for Foreigners:
Finding employment in Ghana as a foreigner can be very challenging unless you already have a job lined up with a multinational company before arriving. The job market is not very open to outsiders, and opportunities for foreigners are limited. If you’re thinking of moving to Ghana for work, it’s crucial to have a clear plan and realistic expectations.

Food and Culture:
On the bright side, Ghanaian food is absolutely fantastic. There’s a wide variety of dishes, and seafood lovers will be in heaven. The food is rich in flavor, with many local specialties that are a delight to try. Ghana also has a vibrant culture, and one of the things I loved was the accent. Ghanaians speak with a wonderful accent, and even those who haven’t attended university often have near-perfect pronunciation of words. While there may be some grammatical errors here and there, their speech is clear and easy to understand.

Lifestyle and Leisure:
Ghana offers a range of leisure activities, and its beaches are particularly beautiful. If you’re in the Tema, Labadi, or Nungua areas, you’ll find stunning beaches that are perfect for relaxation. Ghana is also home to many cats! Cats are a popular pet in the country, and you’ll see them everywhere. If you’re a cat lover, Ghana might be the place for you!

Challenges:
Despite its beauty and the positive aspects of life in Ghana, there are challenges. The high cost of living and limited employment opportunities can make it tough for newcomers, especially foreigners. Additionally, homelessness is an issue, with some people living in inadequate conditions due to the high rent prices.

Overall, Ghana is a country with many strengths, from its peaceful environment and security to its rich food culture and vibrant local life. However, like any place, it comes with its own set of challenges that need to be carefully considered.

If anyone has questions about my time in Ghana or wants to know more, feel free to ask. I’d be happy to share more insights based on my experience.
