Tommymoses: As economy is, my work suffer little major setback, so in order not to beg family and friends to urgent 3k all the time I conclude to look for bike since I can ride bike to some extent. I sold my old bike I got when I newly came to OSUN State (we call the bike ayefele or jincheng bike)
Jincheng bike consume a lot of fuel no be small.
I bought the bike at the rate of 30k in year 2022 and sold it in year 2024 at the rate of 60k.
The bike I wanted to buy is second hand Bajaj boxer, the man said cash is 350k while the hire purchase is 500k.

Tommymoses: Note there is money in Okada business! There's money in Okada business!! I say it again there's money in Okada business!!!
Eniolohunda: Although, I know the post is your opinion and you have every right to your opinions. But after reading it, It seems to me you have never stepped out of Nigeria and see the difference in living. Let me make this clear, I am not one of the people that preach Japa or not Japa because I strictly believe that thing is about self conviction, you cannot convince anyone that is not ready to go neither can you convince anyone that is ready not to go, they both have their reasons. Firstly, you can't call people that choose to travel coward or stupid because they know their reason for traveling and we all have different tastes in life. Secondly you said it's more easy to be a billionaire in Nigeria than abroad, yes you might be right in the sense that it is easier to amount wealth illegally in Nigeria than any develop country.In developed countries there are check and balances, and who forbes list of billionaire help. Even those you call business men in Nigeria, will they tell you how many people they're robbing to pile up their wealth so they can be called billionaire. Nigerians call themselves religious, but don't believe in the phrase you will give account of any single penny you earn, everybody wants to be a billionaire, that's why the crime rate is so high in Nigeria. One politician is ready to amass the resources of a whole local government to himself or herself so he can be called a billionaire. Is that not crazy? People that travel don't travel to be called a trillionnaire but to enjoy the good life while they are alive. Likewise, you list easy access to natural food in Nigeria, probably you live in the village and not in the city and in that village they have not adopted the use of chemicals in their plantings. Because people like me that lived in Lagos knew its hard to eat healthily in that city and even price of those things are very high compared to earnings of people. Talk of fruits preserved with chemicals, plantains forced to be ripe with cambard, and to worst it our beans, that one can even be called chemical, why are developed countries rejecting Nigerian beans. Also let me treat your racism and insecurity together, racism is worst in Nigeria where we have thesame color. At least, even if some people are racist in the US here, they hide it. Because America is even a multi race country. That's why you hear Black Americans, native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and so on. And when they say native American, those are Indian Americans. On insecurity, Nigeria is one of the most insecure country as of today, and this is worsening daily by the citizens. Government, is not doing enough to curb insecurity, and the citizens hate themselves too, that's why they resolved to kidnapping, ritual killings, hit and run drivers and co. You claimed it is easier to be killed in America than Nigeria, blatant lie. America is house of media being one of the top country, so if anything happens there, you immediately see it on the news in all countries. How many people are getting killed or kidnap everyday in Nigeria, and some they don't even report. There are no part of Nigeria today where there are no kidnappers. Meanwhile, in the America that you use as example, you can decide to go out by 1am without fear of being kidnap and nothing will happen to you. Yes there is freedom to possess gun in many states of America. And do you also know that the size of Nigeria is just like one state in America. Also, I will respond to cost of living, rat race and taxation together. I don't know your yardstick for cost of living, to me the cost of living in Nigeria is higher, because cost of living should be compared to earnings, if you're paid based on minimum wage on 30k naira,let's say you have like 20k on top of it making it 50k. Buying only one crate of egg take 1500naira and to you that is cheap, now calculate how family of four and five will spend on feeding per month. Meanwhile, let's say the least earner in a country like US earn 500dollars in a week, and spend like 60dollars on family feeding. And on rat race, I guess that depends on individual, not every body living abroad run a rat race, that depends on level of individual contentment. And on tax, yes you can't escape tax in an advance country, the reason they are even doing better. Because, you will enjoy the dividends of your tax, like good road, light, good environment, kids school and co. Whereas, those that do government work in Nigeria still pay big tax because I was one of them and nothing to show for it, no good road, no light and you pay heavily for good school for your kids. I can only agree with you on weather and entertainment. Even at that you will get use to the weather of wherever you live. And finally, on raising children, you can either be a successful or a failed parent irrespective of where you live. So, let people decide their lives.
raumdeuter: There is always a hustle if you don't see yourself as too big
I finished NYSC at 24yrs. I was the first born and realized my parents money should be focused on my younger ones still in Uni
So I entered street to start hustling. I started going to tutorial centers to teach Waec and Jamb lesson. They were paying me N100 per hour, yet transport one way was N30. So I will take bus to and trek back Idimu to Akowonjo.
Meanwhile I had cousins abroad who I could bill but I never did. The only time I asked for money was to help me pay application fee to Yankee school and not even give me the money, I sent him my application login to help pay the school directly
Some guys who were just friends to him were always sending him billing
At 2005 yahoo was already popular, I was one of the first set people in my area to start using internet and the small boys 17 to 22 that time even those who were not well educated were all writing bad English yahoo emails abroad using email extractor in cybercafes but I knew I will get a job or just hustle
There is always a hustle if you are ready.
Pls how do one go about being a healthcare support worker abroad without medical related course in Nigeria
raumdeuter: Side chics get benefit when they are actively being used, Your sidechic of 2014, shey you still dey call am? But if to say you don marry am in 2014, its your responsibility for life. The usefulness of a sidechic is when you are actively being nacked, once that is over nothing for you. Ned Nwoko assuming he has 7 wives, he fit never nack the 1st or 2nd wife in the last 5yrs but he steadily provides for them. Imagine say na sidechic dem be
By the time the sidechic of 2014, assuming age 30 get passed around for 20yrs she go be 50yrs who will want a sidechic of 50yrs
Does anyone here remember the Adenuga sidechic / Personal secretary, 30yrs sidechic. that was chased out of her luxury house that Adenuga bought for her, If she had married him as 2nd wife she would be secure for life. That is the video below. In the olden days a man rich like Mike Adenuga, Davido, Wizkid will each mop up 10 women each from the society, All those IG baddies for don willingly report to these men house, but Now all those odogwus dey claim 1 wife while nacking plenty outside
Nadingo: That's sad. Dunno why some organisations do stuff like this thereby making people lose their current appointments for nothing sake. The industrial court needs to do something about such acts
