Travel / Re: Thinking Of Relocating Back To Nigeria From Canada by Falconx47: 9:42pm On Apr 09, 2023 |
Bigcoconut: These are the kind of crossroads you have to think deeply and tell yourself the truth, most strangers would only advice you based on their own perspectives, heck some would even come here to gloat. When you say you weren't doing badly in Nigeria, did you have a job or business? Or you were depending on family? If the later is the case, it wouldn't be the same if you pack up and relocate back to Nigeria, moreso if they raised the money with which you travelled in the first place. My advice would be not to go back, if you were okay in Nigeria you shouldn't have left, but since you have travelled, you shouldn't go back, things won't be the same, Canada is a land with a lot of opportunities, but coming on a student visa and hoping to hustle and pay fees like you did is not very advisable, it's very hard like you've seen, but still people do it. Engage with your student community, your church, etc., that could help in finding a less stressful job. Also when you say half your income goes into paying bills, hope you're not seeking comfort? In your current condition, you should living as minimalistic as possible, share apartments, buy the cheapest groceries, etc. If you absolutely can't complete your fees, and you have assured opportunities waiting for you back home, then you can return. In the end, all we're looking for in life is opportunities for better life, if you're absolutely sure you'll get that in Nigeria, them you can return. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Business / Re: The New 200 Naira Note Is The Most Beautiful Nigerian Currency Note by Falconx47: 10:31am On Jan 29, 2023 |
LocalStandard1: They simply copied some colour features of the previous 200 over to new 500 and vice versa, then added blue colour to 1000, is that too hard to notice? The designs are exactly same as the old currency, and the printing plates remained the same, I guess that was done to minimize the cost of the change, which would have been higher if they had to redesign or make new plates. Anyway, being "beautiful" is not a necessary quality of currency notes, they just need to be unique and difficult to counterfeit. I doubt there was any improvement in that regard by this currency change, as the counterfeiters just have to change colours too, I guess this particular exercise is targeted at currency hoarders and maybe vote buying, not really a redesign or upgrade in security. I actually have a feeling there'll still be confusion in the future when the new money starts getting stained and worn out, it may become different to distinguish between the old and new currencies, if some mischievous people try to bring old notes into circulation. Lastly, the designs of Naira notes have always been beautiful, whether old or new, na value dem no get! 1 Like

Perfectbeing: Na 5m you wan carry buy house with "flats" to be renting? The analysis I made was for a loan of 5m, what can 5m get you in today's economy? Maybe one small car, that's what you'll be paying for for 8years, with 50% of your monthly income, interests not even covered. |
Politics / Re: Tinubu: Until We Have A Good Credit System, We Can't Conquer Corruption by Falconx47: 4:15am On Jul 03, 2022 |
trutharena: If someone who earns 100k takes out a credit of 5m to buy a car or whatever, and let's say they service that debt with half of their monthly pay, that's 50k, it'll take them more than 8 solid years to pay off the debt, that's without taking interests into account. These people come up with with garnished trash talk because they know the people they're talking to won't fact check them, with which job security would any lender give you a loan that would take 10 years to repay, so that you may buy a tokumbo car? In a country where people can't even pay back micro loans they take from multiple loan sharks. |

Hi guys, good thing that I found this thread. I found that there are still many Gionee s10 lite on sale on Jumia, for a phone released in 2017, it's surprising that there is still that much in the market. I placed an order for the phone but please, is there something I should know? Does the model have any serious issues or defects? Can I readily buy parts and accessories (tempered glass and case)?

MrOjay1: This kind of person has nothing to offer you. What does he do for a living and what kind of way do you want him to show you? Are you receiving any financial support from him currently? If truly he describes and treats you the way you have described, maybe you are better off going off on and start making your own way, even if the path is difficult one. Also watch your ego to make sure you're not exaggerating things yourself. 1 Like |

Mooh247: Individuals who are as resourceful as you described above would not spend two full month's earnings to buy iPhone. No one says you can't have money or be rich as a young person, but you should be able to explain the source of such wealth to the people you're accountable to, your parents or the authorities as the case may be.

Until Nigerians get to the level where they are willing and able to find gainful employment and not sing for whomever gives the crumbs, I doubt if we'd make any progress, look at what young people are shamelessly promoting, even for only Lokoja, is this not a sparkling failure, after 8 years. |

Family / Re: Is Modern Marriage A Scam? My Own Story by Falconx47: 2:00am On Apr 18, 2022 |
ibechris: You're so combative without actually getting any point across, he only asked one question, give one tangible advantage of being married. In all your rant you were not able to mention one advantage of being married over being unmarried, there are some positives indeed, but you weren't even able to mention any? How does buying a property in another's name or keeping your life savings in another adult's account amount to an advantage? Did you make the 6.6million because of your wife's involvement/contribution? The way you kept shouting impregnating and baby mama, how did you conclude that not being married = impregnating baby mama? The idea of an argument is to make a point for or against, not to nag your way to "victory", I'm afraid you totally didn't make a single point. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Travel / Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by Falconx47: 3:48am On Mar 10, 2022 |
Rahl007: The medicals may be extended or may not be, as to whether you should do the re-med upfront, it's dependent on what you feel like doing, if for example you're still busy in Ireland and not looking to move to Canada immediately, then you might just relax and let them do their thing, and if they request you to do the medical, then you do it...I imagine for you living in Ireland, there are no queues or long waiting times to get an appointment, so you can get the medical done soon after it's requested. It's a thing of choice. 2 Likes |

God1000: You are jumbling so many unrelated things into one. While the desperation to leave the country by some persons can be nauseating, claiming not to know the reason for the desperation would be lying to one's self. Would you rather sweep the road for $15 an hour, or would you do same for $15 a month and yet one pot bellied politician will seize the money for months without paying you? Simple analogy...who says it's about pride? No need getting emotional about these things, the sources of our problems run deep and of course most of us contribute to these problems in a way...we can try to contribute to solving them without feigning ignorance or playing the blame game. 4 Likes |
