These things happen in Nigeria health sector everyday in all the 6 geopolitical zones even before the naira scarcity,no zone is left out....and it is called,"the TOP of the food chain",not end!!!

Yeah, sorry my mistake

We are the artchitec of our own misfortune. Abi, buhari own massive vote in kano, let them all bear the blunt. Until we all push aside religion and tribalism, n vote a creditable person, let all persons join hand and over haul the system. Let their be revolution in all 36 states, shout down the system completely. If u visit a sane country u will understand an average life in nigeria is not worth living. You will only live a better life if u are at the end of the food chain ⛓️. So brace up for more suffer pro max, if we continue with this status quo.

Lol...Go and verify bro
He messed up at ABSU

That man was the best V.C I witnessed, he came in when I was in my 500l, he stopped lecturer selling of text book, give out his numbers to course reps, in order to fish lecturer collecting sorting, online result became variable the time he came, built all roads in umuahia campus and shifted law department. That man was a gem

Started with a half shop in 2020 after endsars with 100k in enugu that's after I exhausted my funds in abuja trying to live a fancy life, went broke all my Gs left me, I had to leave abuja for Enugu after corona virus saga, went into wholesale goods of general provision after end SARS with in half shop. Now I stay in one and half shops with goods worth millions, how I did it I don't know. I thank God for my igboness. If not for inflation n unusual high hike of goods, I should be very wealthy by now. I blame myself for not having this foresight earlier. Did u know for the last 4 days I have spend not less than 300k n it didn't even do me as any thing.

omonnakoda:
I simple ignored the idiotic parts
You are a very dangerous person
What is my business with sins and stones

People are trying to run businesses.

Spare me this primitive sentimentality

This is good because what is at stake for the business and its customers goes beyond that woman

The management of the business need to know what is going on in their business
It is a learning opportunity and not just about punishment
You are not an entrepreneur so you won't understand
If people come into the bank to sell stuff they pose a security risk to the bank and to customers

It may be that the bank has no policy on this, it may be that the staff never had any orientation on this so it is an improvement opportunity
All you have to offer is your face me I face you perspective . You have no understanding of business and personnel management

It is not something that should be ignored. There can be debate about exactly what the consequences should be but to do nothing is not an option

Why would I own such a business and not want to know about this?

Omo why are stressing yourself educating that
Fool!! U get strength sha!!. This is the reason y I hate religion in this country, instead of someone to face the consequences of his/her action, what u be hearing is forgive her/his because of God n blame devil. How can a whole country degenerate like this?

The last duty I will do for Nigeria, is carry mY PVC and vote obi, which will probably be my first and last if obi lose. What I know in this life is I will not die poor" no matter how this country wan be.

He simply mean una go chop better bulala if he enter gov.

Babysho:
I know who Tinubu is. He is obviously the candidate for the uninformed and thieves hoping to take advantage of the mismanagement of Nigeria and the former are in great numbers in Nigeria so your last sentence checks out.

You can support the candidate but there’s no way you support a political system where you don’t have a say and brag about it. Your first sentence is your validation of your dehumanization, of your meaninglessness of existence as a Nigerian citizen.

That’s like a slave saying “You go know wetin be our slave master’s chain when e lock tight for your hand” with a smirk on his face.

Your reply is perfectly concise, I love ppl doing my reply for me

Can someone talk abut chersler 300c for me, I so much adore that car it looks so much like Ross Royce for me. Pls how good is the car

elijah101:
Then why are you pushing for people to stay back in a place with a bad system … Nigeria is only for making money … not to raise a family … truth is u will make the most money in Nigeria if them share u the secret … but thats what nigeria is good for … making money out of the ignorant bunch … and giving your family better shot at the good things life has to offer … its just one life ooo ..enjoy life oooo… enjoy comfort … comfort is not that expensive in some places ooo … only in Nigeria

Oga he is not trying to push ppl not to travel, he is trying to disclaim the guy bogus claims. But for real why will a person spend 7 to 8 millions to go to a country like UK when you are not medically or IT related inclined, to me that is a waste of fund, basically, u can use that money to set up a biz here that can keep u comfortable, as time goes on u can build normal houz, buy a normal car. I know alot of men that sent dia kids to sch abroad with proceeds from regular buying and selling in regular Nigerian market. Nawadays kids don't want to break a sweat.

Anyways, A fool and his money will soon depart

azikiweironsi:
Well depends on his income and where he works. If not, go to satellite towns. Such as Nyanya, Mararaba, Ado, New Nyanya,..... Rents are relatively lower compared to City centres or Lugbe etc...
In terms of cost of food stuffs, it's relatively cheaper in places like Mararaba market, Nyanya while other people comes from the city to buy foodstuffs. The only disadvantages of these areas, is traffic jam from Abacha Barracks or even AYA and also Mararaba towards Nyanya in the morning.
The choice is his.
Good luck

Lugbe get ghetto o, n cheap places

Ponmo has a nutritive value, what u will say is it has low nutritive value compared to other meat. If not for anything ponmo has a lot of fibre n few protein. Just that it doesn't contains all essential amino acid., and should be used for industrial purpose. Though ponmo in it's self has low nutritive value, it can still be fortified and garnished with vegetables plus other stuffs in order to give u real dose of nutrition.

U fit don know get oraisa savita disease o

While for market here in Enugu, I dey buy better jollof Rice and salad with fat fried chicken for mama put for #500.

CandyOps:
I don't understand you, bros. It's like saying, "since you like smoking why don't you smoke openly and walk around with a lighter everywhere you go."

Perception is everything bro. How people see you and the image you project is everything. So if Nigerians see an irreligious person as 'satanic' why would I want to associate myself to that image?

Even Jay-Z said, "Niggas couldn't do nothing with me; they put the devil on me
I'd have preferred niggas to squeeze the metal on me"

Christians tend to talk down on Moslems for being radical especially when you blasphem. But they on the other hand cant stand it when someone becomes illuminated and sees religion for what it is. They'll literally bannish you amongst them.

See what they (religious people) did to Salman Rushdie because of a novel he wrote decades ago called The Satanic Verses.

I don't engage superstitious folks at all.
I don't like to be a bearer of bad news.

Because accepting a new truth has stages.

Every problem passes through three stages on the way to acceptance: First, it appears laughable; second, it is fought against; third, it is considered self-evident.


When people are told a Truth that shocks their core values the first reaction is Denial or you laugh about it.

Then you'll vehemently deny it because it means to say that everything they have ever believed in their lives was wrong

And people don't like being wrong or 'stupid'

So when you front your irreligious views and show people certain truths you'll be at the receiving end of that hatred. Which is why superstitious people dread atheists and irreligious people.


Then you have gradual acceptance because it's evident but you never had someone show it to you in a different angle before


I only engage in religious topics if I notice you have passed at least the first 2 stages of dealing with the shock of accepting the truth.

The same trend is currently happening with Peter Obis movement in Nigeria.


We first laughed at his ambitions..
Then he's being fought
Next thing is gradual acceptance because even the blind can see that our country needs a COMPLETE OVERHAUL

God!! see intelligence, your the kind of person I love to be friends with, no homo

I think u are desperate about this. Calm down make person no deceive u, and this your question should be better asked on quota, their are a lot of responsible peeps to actually give u a genuine answer, for me a think 2mill is very meagre to relocate to any reasonable European country. It's far more better to utilize the money in naija on a good reliable biz and grow it. You be surprise where u will see yourself in next 5years. Abeg don't be so eager to just travel. And if travelling just follow this nuggets
Make sure u have a friend or a relative in that said country so u can a least see where to lay head at night
If ur not from strong medical line, make sure u have a strong skills and u are very good at it.

Let me correct some wrong impression Nigerians have about Forbes.



In developed and well documented nations like countries in Europe, North America and some Asian countries, it is natural and easy to document the wealthiest and the poorest people amongst their population because there is accurate data made available to all whether you want it or not, and this is mostly for government taxation purposes and also for planning.



But in Africa, there is no accurate data or record, especially in West Africa. So you can't definitely say these are the exact population of the richest people and the poorest persons, you can only work with data made available by those who wishes to make their figures available to you because in West Africa, you can decide to hide your wealth from the government without the government knowing your true worth, this is impossible abroad which led many millionaires and billionaires in western world and in organized countries to start making use of offshore companies and shell investments using proxies to hide their wealth in order to run away from heavy government taxation.



Some hide under charity organizations to evade heavy taxation, but in West Africa or Nigeria, you may not even need that if you wish to hide your wealth using friends, family members, fronts, proxies, etc, government will only report or know what you made available to them and that's why Nigerian tax system remains one of the most porous.


What am I trying to say in all these? Yes Aliko Dangote is the richest Forbes-documented Nigerian according to Forbes report, but this may not be the true situation in Nigeria where there are hundreds or thousands of illicit business billionaires who makes or made their money via lots of unknown sources that can't be traced and they don't even want spotlight. Even some Nigerian government officials maybe richer than Aliko Dangote but because they refused to make their wealth and worth known or available to Forbes, Forbes will never know because in Nigeria, we don't have any accurate database. Even our real population we don't know till today.


I know somebody, yes an Igbo man who owns chains of companies in almost all sectors of the economy but Nigerians only know him as the owner of one particular business that's not even that big. Even the employees of those other companies of his don't know he is the owner because he doesn't show his face, and funny enough same man owns chains of businesses in East and Central Africa that I am sure no Nigerian know about except few people very close to the family.


You know as someone who has been a player in the business world, I noticed something about Yorubas, they love packaging. A Yoruba guy may open a plantain chips making business, and he will package the business to look like a million dollar company, which to me is very good. But unfortunately an Igbo man doesn't believe in packaging business to look big to outsiders, instead a typical Igbo man prefers to even disguise his business like its struggling while he rakes his money unnoticed.


It took several intervention of people for owner of Young Shall Grow Motors to accept packaging his transport business to look modern, till date he still prefers it the crude way and have rejected several attempts to modernise the operations. He is the richest Nigerian Transporter. He is a dollar billionaire, he has made the list some years back you can google about it. He even refused to relocate from Festac Town Lagos not until after the assassination attempt on his life some years back that his children insisted he must relocate to Ikoyi which he reluctantly did.



Igbo business men are almost like Chinese, they don't like spotlight. The story of Igbos and Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis in Nigeria is like that of China, US and Europe.


US and Europe appear bigger due to media reportage, global political influence and hyping, but in reality, China is the economic hub of the world with underreportage.


Igbos are the most successful tribe in Nigeria not just based on who has the highest number of widely accepted richest persons or highest number of documented billionaires but based on who has the highest number of people living well above poverty line without depending on government. Many foreign organizations have reported this.


What I mean is this, for instance, if you compare China with maybe US, US have more number of richest individuals in billions, but China sure have more number of people that are rich in millions and thousands.


Let me further explain this mathematically for you and others to understand better.


Lets assume Hausa-Fulanis are 100million in population


Igbos are 50million in population


Yorubas are 52million in population


Hausa-Fulanis have 10 persons that are documented billionaires, and 2 million persons that are millionaires and 10million persons that are thousandnaires, and the rest are hundrednaires or sth.


Yorubas have 6 persons that are documented billionaires, 10million persons that are millionaires, 15million persons that are thousandnaires and then the rest are hundrednaires.


Igbos have 1 person that is a documented billionaire, 19million that are millionaires, 23million that are thousandnaires and the rest are hundrednaires.


Now if you check this statistics, you would notice that even though the Hausa-Fulanis have the highest number of documented billionaires, they are still the poorest tribe, followed by the Yorubas and lastly the Igbos.

And this evenly spread of wealth among Igbos more than other Nigerian tribes can be attributed to the widely reported "Igba Boi" apprenticeship practice amongst Igbos.


BBC, Forbes and World Bank have reported this before, you can use Google.



Lastly, you should give Igbos a lot of kudos for a tribe that lost everything to a 3 year long civil war in 1970 to rise from the ashes of war in which they lost all, to become the economic power of Nigeria today is not easy even without producing a single President of Nigeria since the end of civil war, of which you know that Presidents play a lot of role on how rich people become in Nigeria and in most African countries.



If you check all the billionaires you mentioned, most of them if not all, their wealth is linked or tied to crude oil business which is controlled by Nigeria's Presidents that no Igbo man have ever became since 1966.


On the issue of Lagos, I have clarified this reoccurring topic Yorubas always use to brag on several occassions.


Yorubas didn't make Lagos what it is. No Yoruba man made Lagos what it is. Nigeria's federal government made Lagos what it is and reason Igbos flood to Lagos because Lagos has been Nigeria's capital city for decades, and for this, housed virtually all federal government organizations, including foreign country embassies so it is impossible for an igbo man known for trade and commerce to do their businesses without visting Lagos to get visa, clear their imported goods, export their products and carry other activities.


Divide Nigeria today and majority of Igbos will naturally leave Lagos, those that may remain will do so because of their existing businesses or for other reasons best known to them, so stop bragging about Lagos as if Yorubas single handedly made Lagos what it is. You can brag with Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, etc, Lagos is a cosmopolitan city made by Nigerian federal government and plenty other groups, including foreigners.



If Yorubas are that good in building great cities, please let them turn Ondo state to another Lagos, at least Ondo state also have sea and ocean that can become another seaport.



Nigerian federal government through favorable policies of many decades made Lagos what it is, not Tinubu that was yet to be born when Lagos became Nigeria's capital city!

https://www.quora.com/Are-the-Igbos-actually-the-wealthiest-ethnic-group-in-Nigeria-or-is-that-just-a-misconception


Which Nigerian Tribe is The Richest?

First, I am going to assume Nigeria is made up of just 5 tribes for clarity of answer, and my chosen tribes will be - The Hausa-Fulani, The Igbos, The Yorubas, The Binis, and The Ijaws-Urhobos.

Going further, in Nigeria, there are 5 - 6 classes of rich people:

1) The Politicians (political class) & Politically Assisted Rich Persons.

2) The Genuine Businessmen, Industrialists & Traders.


3) The professional working class - those working & earning fat salaries


4) The hustlers - internet scammers, drug peddlers, human traffickers.


5) The Rich Diasporas - Nigerians living, working abroad.

6) The entertainers - music stars, movie stars, sportsmen, etc.


Now, before you can answer this question correctly, you must consider these class of rich Nigerians, and the number of each tribe that makes up the majority of these various class of rich Nigerians.

When you come to number 1 - Rich Politicians/Politically Assisted Persons, the Hausa-Fulani have more of this class of rich people, and the reason is obvious; they have been in political power since Nigeria got independence in 1960 more than any other tribe. After the Hausa-Fulani comes the Yoruba tribe, and then the Igbo tribe.

Genuine Businessmen & Industrialists - under this class, I think the Igbo tribe have a majority, followed by the Yorubas, and the Hausa-Fulani.


The Professional Working Class - here, the Yoruba tribe have the majority, followed by the Igbo tribe, and the Ijaw-Urhobo tribe.


The Hustlers - under this class, the Igbos have the majority, followed by the Binis and the Yorubas, and then other tribes


The Rich Diasporas - The Igbo tribe also take the majority for obvious reason; after the end of the Nigerian civil war in 1969, which was like a war between the Igbo tribe and the rest of Nigerian tribes, which ended in favour of the rest of Nigerian tribes, and pushed Igbos to the wall because after the war ended, Igbos were left with nothing to start life with, and even got shortchanged by the Hausa-Fulani/Yoruba controlled federal government in the after-war monetary, financial policies, which made Igbos to start migrating to almost anywhere possible in search of greener pastures, and this paid them off at the long run, as they are now found in almost every part of the world succeeding in various human field.

After Igbos comes the Yoruba and Bini tribes.

The Entertainers - Yorubas have the highest number of rich entertainers in Nigeria, followed by the Igbo tribe, and then other tribes.

When you put all these figures together, you will then realize that when it comes to total or highest number of rich people, Igbo is the richest Nigerian tribe, followed by the Yoruba, and then Hausa-Fulani and the Ijaw-Uhrobos.

But when you want to count the tribe with the richest person as in who has the highest quantified wealth, then it is the Hausa-Fulani and followed by the Yoruba tribe and then Igbo. But by population of rich Nigerians, Igbos are the richest. I stand to be corrected but if one is honest, the indices is there to prove this fact.



So conclusively, judging by per capita income, by all indications, Igbo is the richest Nigerian tribe according to virtually all verifiable reports.



Though the richest people in Nigeria individually are Hausa and Yoruba.


From my own observation, Igbos have few documented billionaires in US dollars and many millionaires, while Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have few millionaires but more billionaires. This is in US dollars.

To operate at a billionaire level in Nigeria, deep connections to the government and oil industry are mandatory, which the Igbos don’t have to the extent that other groups do because Igbos have not have access to Nigeria's Presidential power like Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas.



Also remember that generational wealth was also nearly wiped out among the Igbos during the Biafran war 40 years ago.

I was browsing thru to see who has a good reply for that guy, gbam I see am. No need to stress my self. You explained more Dan I anticipated to do

nadisms:
Bombo tete bombo te....lol... I know him ,including chyko,goto and co...

You schooled there too?

Yeah

Una eye never open "O foolish Nigerians" this man we call our president is not buhari. Buhari is long dead

nadisms:
Na confirm obodo charly I be

2007 set.... sayoto,boster, dem set

I started from jess 1 in secondary, moved to science..

In those days,we get secondary and science...

Our days sweet joor

But now,d av joined both

You know bombo, chyko, gboto, ambassador, city, dem?

nadisms:
For you to say 17 local government,then you are not from Anambra. We have 21 local governments

Let me chip in : one of the best medical students hostel in nigeria was built by Peter Obi. HE laid the foundation to the accreditation of medical school in Anambra... Medical students had been there for several years without graduation but Obi laid massive foundation that saw to their graduation...
Peter built and equipped Anambra state university teaching hospital.

Education: In fact, it's so obvious... I was born and raised in Onitsha. Some of us who went to school in Anambra will tell you that Obi did in magic in education sector..
Faculty of Engineering (one of the best in SE) was built by him in Uli.

My school st Charles college onitsha, was revolutionise by Peter obi. omo that school choke now.. very beautiful..

Many villages in Anambra are connected by road courtesy of Peter obi

Tori plenty abeg

You are just being mischievous,if not ask any Anambrarian the performance of peter obi, then they will tell you

which set u be for st Charles. Did u started in jss 1

franchasofficia:
Send these your Agbado gibberish to Arise TV to invite Obi for grilling.


Because Tinubu is a drug lord you Agbado boys now want to cook your own watery soup of Obi being a drug lord too, laughable



Because Tinubu is a ritualist and one of the grandpatrons of that famous cult group, you now want to also cook your own weightless soup of Obi being an Olumba member.



So because Tinubu impregnated so many ladies and abandoned them to marry Remi he met at a motor park, you now want to also rope Obi into your own fantasy marriage mess?



Honestly most of you Agbado boys no get shame.


Tinubu is too old, too corrupt, too greedy, too selfish, too power hungry, too dangerous, too fake, too dishonest and sneaky to be Nigeria's next President after the so much destruction Buhari have done to Nigeria, its too risky to try this.



Osinbajo would have been a far better candidate that would have divided Peter Obi's supporters even without campaign.



Tinubu is a criminal, a known corrupt political godfather who survives on Lagos treasury.


You guys keep mentioning Lagos this and that, even a mad man can rule Lagos successfully. Lagos is a super rich state since the 1960s all thanks to Lagos being the capital of Nigeria and the seaports it also have.


Don't ever compare Lagos Governor with any other Nigerian state Governor because Lagos state have so much money to be competing in infrastructural projects with the Nigerian government not states okay. And where are the projects done? None, only meagre projects yet you blind followers scream how Tinubu transformed Lagos that has turned to the biggest slum in Africa, shame shame.



Without Lagos State treasury that Tinubu held on to since 2007 he left office as Governor of Lagos state, nobody would remember someone like Tinubu exist today like many other past State Governors, but even after he left office as Governor and never put eye in Anambra government affairs, Obi has remained fully relevant and active in business globally. He has continued to make waves in personal business and entrepreneurship but talk about Tinubu, his only visible investment is Lagos State treasury.

My brother I tire o. With all the visible evidence that this tinubu is senile, old and sick plus what APC bestowed upon us. People still get mind dey support him. BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!.
Upon all the whole happening in naija, people still dey support mediocrity? Something even a blind man can see
