And his lieutenant was slaughtered like a goat at mile 12. For them, life goes on if any of them dies.

Isolo/ Ejigbo!! You sure say this one go work Fight go dey o. If you see the volume of okadas moving out from Ejigbo to Cele or through mushin road every day, you go fear.

For me, I like wetin LASG dey do. I know say many people would be negatively affected. One man with three kids close to my church is an okada rider in Ire Akari Isolo, feeding his family from that work.

The building looks modern and contemporary. Unlike the useless structures usually built by TETFUND in government owned tertiary institutions

My cousin said no be only block votes, na stone dust votes join. I don laff tire.

But seriously, Tinubu is still the top contender in this election going by Nigeria's voting pattern. Most voters do not vote on ideologies or principles. Most vote based on sentiments, money or any where belle face.

ADVICE NEEDED, I wish I can run this on a separate thread but it is what it is.

I started building this house on the first land I got, a gated estate in a serene environment but electricity is bad (once in a month kinda light) and the road leading to the estate too is not quite good though the neighborhood is the most populous area in the state capital.

The Goal deep down was to build the biggest in the area so it was a duplex with around 10rooms (2 living rooms, office, library, gym, and laundry room inclusive) 8 toilet/bathrooms, kitchen, and store. And by God's grace, we were able to do everything including plastering, wiring, plumbing, burglary, and window with the main doors fixed, and we were left with normal interior and exterior finishing. That was when my eyes cleared!!! I became wiser and I already have like 2 other lands in better estates with better electricity.

The house became too big and my taste changed to something smaller and simpler, my mind already moved out of the environment due to the electricity ish and how populous the area is (the house is noticeable from all angles and it stands out while I am just a single young guy).

That was how I abandoned the project in 2020 till I make up my mind.

I went there today and my mind broke, the property and the works we've done are wasting away, and my money is wasting away.

I need your advice, should I complete the house (which will gulp 20M + in this tough economy, money I can use to do better business) and rely on Generator and Solar for the rest of my life.

Or I should sell it and use the money to build something smaller and simpler.

This is any builders worst nightmare. Honestly, I sympathize with you. I felt into the same dilemma last year on my own property after sinking so much money into the build to my taste.

Madam/ my wife, told me that she was no longer seeing any future again in Nigeria and wants to relocate abroad. She has been on this relocation thing since the past five years but I was holding her. I still prefer my kids to have some basic Nigerian foundation. However, the relocation thing just clicked for her and I was in dilemma concerning my house since it was meant for family. Two bedroom duplex completed at the back of the main house (though the outside was yet to be painted) for us to move in and continue with the interior work of the four bedroom duplex in front that was meant to house the family and I would rent out the two bedroom duplex behind that we were to occupy initially after moving into the main house in front

My brother, I had to change style since my family wont be staying again in Nigeria. We redesigned the front house to accommodate for self contain and mini flats. We got about eight in total. Luckily, where the staircase was placed in the duplex was in an excellent position. It would serve as a staircase for the tenants that would occupy the upper floor. An agent heard that I wanted to rent my completed back duplex at the back and came and inspected it. He told him that he would be back later. By evening, he came with two people that seems to have come back to Nigeria from foreign country, based on their dressing and accent. They inspected and said they would like to take it. I was actually looking for at least N1.3m a year for the two bedroom based on the quality of the interior that I did. I told them N1.5m, they accepted and I collected two years.

I have not started the demarcation of the front house into mini flats and self-contain as I still want to sort out some outstanding family issues that requires lots of fund. The remodeling into mini-flats would be another set of costs on its own. It is always terrible when you are not sure what to do with your build. I will advice you take your time to make your plans; survey the area whether it would be commercially viable and then demarcate into self-cons. You can never go wrong with properties in Nigeria. That rent I collected for the back house created another impression in my mind about rented apartment. One could actually get some supporting income from rented apartment and support himself, at least with feeding.

All the best bro!! It is always painful looking at your non-earning assets wasting away.

Delivered this turnkey project few days ago.. Even helped the client move in.. Client wanted a simple external look.

Everything done including interiors..

Looks simple, elegant and foreign like Eguns CASA house. This is how most homes abroad looks, the paint used and the simplicity. The owner should not fill the space with furniture and clutter the spaces. Well done.

Putin never liked this man. He is not his type person. Putin preferred hard core men. That is why Putin said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest mistake of the 20th century. If Putin was the president of the Soviet Union, the union would not have collapsed. He would have used all means possible to keep the Union together, even in the midst of blood bath

Energy transition my foot

Africa should leave this Oyibo people and this their energy transition. We have lots of problems in Africa that needs to be tackled than this over-hyped climate change and energy transition.

The West used cheap fossil fuels and coal to power their economies from 10th to 18th centuries, even up to 21st century. They now want Africa to follow them and give tentative dates for migration from their own God given fossil fuel resources to more expensive renewable energy.

See the weapon sef - that improvised gym weight lift did the job

Honestly, this current finance minister is the most uninspiring finance ministers I have ever seen. She hardly makes any economic sense and avoids World Economic Forum or any international finance/economic forums like a plaque. Her own is just to sit down in Abuja and be approving nonsense and defending nonsense.

Kemi Adeosun seems far better.

Nigerian ladies in Canada and YouTube videos are like bread and butter. Inseparable! Always telling the same story, same format and same message. The boredom seems real!

Looks good. The fibres makes it more appealing and good for the digestive system.

Stop this nonsense of "men that still patronise prostitute". 98.682% of girls residing in Nigeria are prostitute, directly or indirectly.

As a man, if you're having sex with a Nigerian girl, you're patronising prostitution.

End of!

This generalisation is too bad. Where did you get this your statistics from
Show some respect to the female folks. We abuse them a lot on this forum.
It's just too disrespectful to make this kind of allegation without substantial proof.

I love this. Mostly happens in Nigeria. Everything is shrouded in secrecy. Some advertisers won't even mention the name of the company. You will hear, " our client, a reputable player in the financial sector".

Go to "indeed" or "monster" or foreign recruitment agencies, you will see the name of the company and salary range, with conditions of the employment well stated.

This Nduka Obaigbana is a crowd puller any time, any day. Highly connected dude. When I was still in the bank, the guy came to our head office and the MD of the bank went down stairs to receive him.

Now that buhari did not call or touch kumaru's belt,who can explain what just happened?

There was a WhatsApp message from the presidency wishing him success before the match.

Those idiots. Almost had my car towed this morning at the bus stop opposite Sheraton Hotel. It was madness this morning. They’d rather extort, impound or arrest when they can just render help.

My hatred for them is on another level. Last week, they pounced on the driver taking me to the airport close to ajao estate. The driver drove pass the "STOP" line mark at traffic light and they immediately swooped on him, dragging him out like a criminal. The poor driver had to cough out close to N35k to pick his car from their oshodi office.

Lastma go chop some magas. Some may not be informed about the traffic situation and would go against it. Lastma don't direct people, they will rather wait for you to make mistake and be arrested.

I don't bother eating in a hotel that I am lodging. I usually go out and have my food. Nigerian hotels sees customers as magas that needs to be milked.

This is exactly what I want now. My appetite has been down since Tuesday because of fatigue induced malaria. I have not been able to eat well but this looks inviting.

Channah, please call me.

They were able to make a safe descent. Kudos to them. Some pilots would have been in disarray on waking up, not knowing what to do.

Nigeria simply does not have any foreign exchange. Government can't meet up with its foreign exchange obligations. It shows how the economy has degenerated. I doubt if any foreign investor would be willing to bet on Nigeria. Foreign investors invest in a country when they are sure of repatriating their profits to their home countries.

We are just talking of airlines. If companies like MTN tells you how much of their funds are waiting to be repatriated, you will know that Nigeria is no more investment friendly. Nigeria may not witness inflow of foreign investors in the foreseeable future.

I wish I can like this post a hundredth times.

But if you have all it takes to relocate legitimately without it impacting your finances, mental health etc, please do ,I believe there are average Nigerians who are presently doing well in the country but wants something saner and can as well sustain it.

Yes, my wife may likely relocate with the kids. They were all born abroad. But for the time being, I will prefer to remain here. I still have my aged parents that needs my attention. I will agree to my wife's relocation because of her intention to enroll for a nursing program. She has been pushing for that for long and it seems to have clicked for her.

So sad, to even get PTA now is a problem

There is no FX any where. Foreign investors are offloading their portfolios at a record level to avoid further looses in their portfolio investment.

Very soon, most banks wont have FX to finance import and issue letters of credit. If you have any means of earning foreign currency or doing any job that would guarantee you payment in FX, you are lucky.

Temper :-..... Igbo men and jealousy....plus sometimes low self esteem... especially when the woman is more learned.

Very common in Anambra. You will see well endowed and educated young lady getting married to one uneducated and ugly importer, self conscious of his limited education and physical appearance, who wouldn't waste time to unleash his low self-esteem - induced - anger on the poor lady on any slightest provocation.

Sorry that the woman died. I am sure it was because of money and wealth that the woman remained in that abusive marriage till the very end. It's very common in my place. You will see women with kids, going through physical and emotional abuse from their spouses; yet remained put because of what they will loose if they go back to their father's house.

Why are you people cursing and abusing the politicians??
At the end, you all will still line up and queue to vote another set of idiots to power and come online to start abusing them.

Another set of thieves are gathering and as usual, Nigerians and nairalanders have started abusing themselves, cursing one another that differs from their own political affiliation.

Later, you will come back behind keyboards to insult those idiots that you worked hard to elect, hating people because of your preferred candidate. Be wise!!

Okonandmary:
I noticed this too... i hardly see blacks in the stadium.

Some are there as contracted security personnel facing the fans and backing the pitch.
I did that security job in Aberdeen. Any time the city club had home games, we would apply to work as security guards, standing round the perimeter pitch, facing the whites spectators and backing the actions going on in the field. We could only turn to the pitch on hearing the shouts of goal being scored.

At the end, we would stay back to clear the stadium of plastic bottles, trash and waste. It used to be a rewarding job then as a student.

Unborn kids? What of your own mental state.

Very apt. Nigerians and this their mentality of my "unborn kids". What of your self and your mental health?? That's why we loot and steal with impunity all because of our so called kids and unborn kids to give them a better life.

My father did the best he could and left the stage for me. I am doing well for myself. I can't sacrifice my mental health and peace of mind because I want to provide the best for my kids. When they grow up, they face the challenges and work their way out.

You won't go far with this type of writing. It is not about grammar; it is about the useless abbreviations and short cuts. It does no good to your communication skills.

Employers and businesses values people with great communication and writing skills. The more you read, the better your written communications gets. Nobody is perfect. We all learn. I am not a perfect writer; neither do I claim to be one. All the best.

HandsomeGuyman:
I respect this man so much.
Now let's see how Burari will turn out after 2023.
The useless old man will retire back to daura

I heard he is going to retire to Niamey, the capital of Niger Republic. Daura is no more safe.

Good.
This is the role that best fits him. Not going back to soil his name in the mucky waters of Nigerian politics. Imagine if APC had succeeded in getting him to contest the primaries and eventually looses to Tinubu. The embarrassment would have been huge and his image degraded. He dodged a bullet with that bait.
