Back in the days... Men dey bam movement. Now Internet and social media have turned men into poo-cies.

You'll see a grown-a$$ man that is supposed to hustling and living a coordinated life, set ring light and be spewing rubbish on the Internet just for engagement and trend.

Serves him right.

Nayturalistic:
I really bleed for this country. So nah that useless Senate President get this kind structure for A/Ibom... Amongst other properties whey he don use Nigeria money take buy .

abeg, when is this revolution starting please.

Na because of people like you nairaland implemented the minimum of 40 characters per post rule.

You rush to comment without reading.

Mehn. Naija politics is brutal.

Leave all these clowns speaking English online and acting like they're stakeholders in the game.

They're nothing but pawns in the game.

SuperEagles:
Are businesses own by other Nigerians in the East not paying taxes to Igbo governors ?! Own your shame if you are from the SE. Imagine boko haram ravaged NE doing beta than you n this one is here making a foolish point. Dem suppose wipe una governors n all of you supporting n voting their incompetences cord for head.

I'm not from the South East, I only comment on these things because Nigeria is my country. I currently do not share in any of your problems.

ChristCee:
Okay. Enough barking.🤣🤣🤣🤣 Go do business in your region. You can't be claiming you developed other people's lands when your own village is in shambles. If your own lands were so good, you wouldn't run here... Yorubas enjoy what they have and they do their business at home, but you people hate what you have, you destroyed it with fights and militancy and secession movements then you start claiming you developed other regions🤣🤣🤣🤣

Without the Niger Delta ... Nigeria including your most of Yoruba States will cease to exist within 90 days.

Just 90 days!

This is not a conversation I'll love to have with you or anybody from any other region. It's like beating a dead horse.

ChristCee:
Dem swear for you not to do business in your own lands? You destroy your own lands then run to other people's domain to start claiming ownership🤣 if your place is so viable go do business there na

I am a full blooded Niger Deltan!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be talking about resource control if I were from a parasitic region...

You should think critically before quoting people.

Sccarrr:
She is just foolish enough to return, no be juju dragged her back

My exact thought.

As money don finish, she started missing the Asaba vibes and easy money she was making....

She thought that she could hustle on a low..

If the juju was potent, she would have reported straight to the man's house from the village.

Looks like a case of coincidence.

Great story.

I borrowed one contractor a sizeable amount of money three years ago.

We had an agreement that he would pay back after 3 months.

The transaction was done based on the trust and personal guarantee of a senator, DOF and a well-recognised political figure.

The man defaulted on the loan and at some point clearly said that he won't pay back.

I petitioned the office of the IG, I wrote to ICPC, even the minister that signed the contract was aware of the matter... The man refused to pay!

Now talking about juju... Baba, there's no juju that this case didn't enter their shrine. From East to West, South to North. I have boys that just one phone call, they will run sh*t for me without ecen asking for a penny. Even that cross River state sef, men visited two places... Shi shi no fall out.

Las Las... I did a petition to the EFCC and they recovered part of the money for me...

I won't say juju doesn't exist or isn't potent, yeah, back in the days, I saw anti-metal work..

But mehn... After my ordeal with that contractor... I stopped believing that those things work.

It's my opinion though... Based on personal experience.

Anyway... best wishes to you and your cousin.

How about we go full-blown resource control Na?

Everyone controls their resources and pays taxes to the central government.

Or isn't that what true federalism is about?

Those of you making jest of the Southeast, hope you are aware that businesses owned by Igbos pay their taxes to the state government where their businesses are domiciled.

Pinnacle Oil and Gas, Capital Oil and Gas, Nestoil, Britannia U, Seplat, Masters Energy etc. are O&G coys owned by outsiders. They pay taxes and royalties to the LASG.

Anyway... All these arguments start and end here. At the top, nobody cares about these things. They collaborate and enjoy themselves irrespective of their tribe and religion.

There was a protest too in Dakar, Senegal on Monday against unemployment and hardship.

princeabdul:
you jumped into conclusion like a woman, mom is a Christian, a seven day Adventist. Well gbogbo Aso ko ni an da lorun

If your mom is a Christian nko?

Does that change anything?

You were born into a religion that was choose for you.

You didn't have a say.

Ttipsy:
what’s meat? lol -…… I assume you have so much to advise him on

Hon, stop acting ignorant. You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Meat... As in meat na

Wetin dey Sup for nairaland today Na?

Bestwt001:
You can't identify a good Christian by dressing nowadays

But at least it helps them to hide their true identities and reduce other vices associated with indecent dressing.

Meanwhile, when it comes to indecent dressing, Nigerians never start.. I visited Dakar late last year - omoh omoh omoh X50!

This thread no even suppose exist for Nigerian forum.

princeabdul:
there are reverts in Islam, God can save anyone

I'd rather listen to a revert who has tasted both ways, than you who is just following a path because you were born into It.

Ttipsy:
shut it …..,, I think it’s really not a good idea lol

Masturbation is damn cheap and quite affordable.

It eliminates the baggage of hurdles that come with actual sex.

Let him beat the sh*t out of his meat and stop blaming his woes on the award-winning act.

Lol

Masturbation has really suffered.

Very soon, someone would claim that masturbation made him lose a business opportunity and become poor.

Man, as much as I don't support the frequent act of "meat-beating", most of the problems you're having were not caused by your inglorious hobby.

Some successful people still stroke their Ogbomobi once in a while to relieve stress.

Anyway. Godspeed ditching the habit.

princeabdul:
Alhamdulillah they're coming back to the right path, next is to take the shahada. Alhamdulillah alla niimatu Islam

Lol

Shahada indeed..

What if your forefathers and parents were Christians.. And you were born into a Christian home. Do you think you'd be a Muslim today?

Everybody just dey follow wetin him con meet. Except for a few who cross-carpeted.

Very important factor in the survival of marriage and relationships.

Actually he will... No magic needed. I no befv naija gn.

Akpabio my man..

Macphenson:
Politics is somethjng else. Sanwo Olu that is a stunch MFM member?

As in ehn.. Politics is a different world entirely.

The other day, an unknown entity here was calling Senator Godswill Akpabio a failure.. And I was like ehn..

Do you know the sh*t it takes to be a commissioner, a Governor, a Minister, and then Senate President?

Just go for NANS convention, you'll know that Nigerian politics isn't for the chicken-hearted.

As much as I don't subscribe to their ways of doing things, but I'll always give them my respect. These guys are brave, ruthless and f*cking determined.

Immorttal:
Whats the rate of kidnapping and overall security out there?

Kidnapping exist, but it's very low.

Security is very okay. That doesn't mean if you wash your clothes and dry them outside overnight, you'd wake up to see them. Petty theft is very very common there.

ChiefOloye:
Chelsea will promise you so much, then offer you little. Imagine after winning a continental trophy. They are back to being beaten by a small club, again.

Flamengo is not a small club.

And don't forget, Brazil has got some of the best talents in the Soccer space.

Lanretoye:
Why is Ronaldo not there,is Portugal not comming to the World Cup?

FIFA Club World Cup... Not FIFA World Cup

Nice one.

From Baze to Imperial London to Renewed Hope Initiative.

His popsi must be one of those people eating our yams.

I'll give the award for the worst country that I have visited to Mali.
Followed by Togo, then Burkina Faso, then Senegal, Gambia, before Benin Republic.

Hamachi:
Oga you lie THE UNDERRATED COTONOU

Since I was born till date, we Nigerians have always looked down on a lot of neighboring countries like Cameroon, Togo, Benin Republic etc.
Well, you are not to be blamed if you are among those who look down on some of these countries, even when we have not had an opportunity to cross border.
Bro I schooled in Benin, that place is a complete mess nothing is cheap there, have you looked at the exchange rate lately Even if you buy a bag of rice for 20k cfa and you convert that money to Naira it’s about 40k Naira, please if you don’t have money don’t near that place please, Benin is a nice place if you’ve made money and your going there to spend it, girls there do hookup and the guys do yahoo, in terms of electricity the have 247 light and water but then, it’s not just worth it plus the scorching sun there Omoh

Well I was one of those people who actually looked down on most of these countries until I had an opportunity to sail round west Africa and the narratives changed.

Meanwhile I was completely marvelled the first time I visited Cotonou, the business hub of Benin Republic about 4 years ago when Patrice Talon newly took office
Two years after I re-visited, after touring round other west African countries. I spent 3 days here and without a waste of time, I concluded to relocate down to this place based on the level of development I saw, the security, serenity etc.

Finally I am now living here and I have no regret so far.

I will say this country is blessed with the best president who is working tirelessly to improve the living conditions of his beloved citizens and I am glad hearing citizens saying positive things about the president.

Business Opportunities
From My Findings So Far...

*Tailoring is a place to explore especially when you sew English wears and Nigerian attires
* Sales of any kind of electronics which you can bring from Nigeria and Togo cos they are cheaper over there and expensive here.
* Sales of second hand phones and laptops, not forgetting their accessories too. Very lucrative
* Nigerian foods are in high demand especially areas where Nigerians live more. U go sell tire
* Sales of sewing machines(more of manual)and it's accessories are in high demand cos this is their major skill work with hairdressing.
* Phone and laptop repairs needs serious attention here cos most of the engineers are not competent enough
* Sales of motor parts/bike parts. Both are very good biz here too.
* Bilingual schools are still in high demand in some places including teachers.
* Transportation biz- As a naija man, u will do better plying from border to town, if you are a smart. As an okada rider, concentrate around Tokpa, Misebo and Beach, you will be fine too.
Those who are into okirika(2nd clothes, shoes & bags), it's still very profitable till date but you must have a good contact for you not to be cheated.
Etc


Let me drop my pen here for now. I will be sharing some photos of the places I have been to like the beaches etc . So stay tuned as we will be dropping more information to give you a comprehensive info about the country generally.

We're talking about countries generally, not the capital or one single city.

Apart from constant power supply and security, Benin Republic is horse shit.

Ibadanfarmroad:
Burkina faso.
I was shocked at the underdevelopment and how kids smoke cigarettes with reckless abandon.

Pappua new guinea.
Spent 1 month and travelled over 10 cities, i needed to live as soon as i met two people that told me how they legit being eaten by cannibal.
Just as everything abouy edo state is benin city everything about png is moresby, the capital city.

Togo.
Dont be fooled by the wide main roads, enter street and see something.

All of the countries above have constant electricity.

As soon as I saw "how kids smoke cigarettes with reckless abandon".... I knew that you weren't capping.

Burkina Faso and Mali... Seems every goddamn person in those two countries smokes!

This seems to be the season of single mothers.
