Romance / Re: Please, What Should I Do? by ForensikOrder: 5:44am On Mar 30
Hey Labake1, first off, congratulations on landing the job! After such a long search, e must feel like a big win. Now, concerning wetin your husband talk, e dey important to approach this matter with plenty understanding and also stand firm for your own rights and career aspirations.

E be like say your husband dey feel threatened by the prospect of you earning more than him, which might be stirring up some insecurity or societal pressures about roles within marriage. However, it’s key to remember say marriage na partnership, and success for one partner na success for the other.

One approach could be to have a deep, honest conversation with your husband about how this job opportunity is not just about the money or the car, but also about your personal growth, your contribution to the family, and the fulfillment of your career goals. Emphasize how this could benefit the entire family in the long run.

You fit also explore why he feels the way he does. Sometimes, these feelings stem from deep-seated beliefs or societal expectations about gender roles. Understanding where he's coming from can help you address his concerns more directly.

Encourage a mindset of teamwork within your marriage. Make am clear say you value his input and support, but also highlight how your professional growth and financial contributions could bring positive changes to your family’s life.

It might help to set joint goals for your family’s future that this job could help achieve, be it owning a home, saving for children's education, or investing in a business. Showing how your job aligns with these shared goals can help shift the perspective from competition to cooperation.

If e dey possible, consider seeking the counsel of a neutral third party, like a marriage counselor, who fit help mediate the conversation and provide professional advice on navigating this kind of challenge.

Lastly, remember say your career and personal growth are just as important. It’s essential to find a balance between your relationship and your individual aspirations. A supportive partner should want to see you succeed, just as you would want for them.

Culture / Re: I Need Help Differentiating Between The Hausa And The Fulani by ForensikOrder: 5:40am On Mar 30
Hey Ellalina, na correct question you ask, and e dey important for understanding the complex tapestry of Nigerian ethnicity and politics. The Hausa and the Fulani people are two of the most influential groups in Nigeria, especially in the northern part of the country.

To start, the Hausa people na one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, and dem get a long history of kingdom and empire building wey date back hundreds of years. Their culture, language (Hausa), and religion (Islam) dey very dominant in the northern region of Nigeria.

On the other hand, the Fulani people originally na pastoralists and cattle rearers wey migrate across West Africa. Over time, dem come settle in various parts of the region, including northern Nigeria, where dem blend with the Hausa people through marriage, trade, and shared religion, which na Islam too.

Regarding the politicians you mention like Buhari, Atiku, El-Rufai, Lamido, Yar'Adua, and so on, e dey a bit complex because some of them get mixed Hausa and Fulani heritage. For example, President Muhammadu Buhari and Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are of Fulani descent. This blending of lines na part of why the distinction between Hausa and Fulani can sometimes dey blur for politics and social relations.

The relationship between the Hausa and Fulani people na one wey dey rooted in centuries of interaction, marriage, and shared Islamic faith. This long history of intermingling don lead to a situation where the two groups dey often referred to together as "Hausa-Fulani," especially in the context of Nigerian politics and social dynamics.

The "fine line" between them mainly dey in their origins and traditional lifestyles: Hausa as historically settled farmers and city dwellers, and Fulani as pastoralists. However, because of their long history of living together and intermarrying, the distinction is not always clear-cut, especially in the modern context where many individuals and families identify with both heritages.

Politics / Re: Fact Checking The Numbers: CBN's Announcement of $1.5B Foreign Exchange Inflow by ForensikOrder: 5:37am On Mar 30
Omo, socialmediaman, you don bring up very crucial point wey many people fit no dey think about. This announcement from the CBN about 'huge' influx of foreign currency fit sound good for ear, but when you put am side by side with past records, e dey clear say we still get long way to go.

Your reminder say back in 2019, Nigeria dey receive over $2 billion USD every month na eye opener. E show say while $1.5 billion USD na good thing, we no suppose just sit down dey clap without considering the bigger picture of how the economy dey really perform.

Your talk about propaganda na something wey everyone for Naija suppose take seriously. True true, e dey dangerous for our development because e fit make people dey live for illusion instead of facing the real matter wey dey ground. When leaders focus more on washing their image with sweet mouth instead of doing the real work, na the citizens dey suffer am at the end.

We deserve to know the true state of our economy, and we deserve leaders wey go be transparent with us, leaders wey go put in the work to truly improve things. E no just be about making the country look good on paper or for news headline; na about real, tangible progress wey go touch the lives of everyday Nigerians.

Make we continue to ask questions, make we continue to demand accountability from those wey dey in power. E dey important make we no just swallow everything wey dem dey tell us hook, line, and sinker. Na our right to be fully informed about the state of our economy and to challenge any form of propaganda wey dey thrown our way.

Kingsnairaland:


Sad story in Africa history

Any black man still supporting France should probably be put in Guantanamo Bay detention prison.

France UK USA have not removed the colonialist mindset their fathers gave them.

Bros/Sis, your post don dig deep into matter wey dey pain many, and e dey understandable why e dey provoke such strong feelings. The history of colonialism and its long-lasting effects no be something we fit just overlook. E don affect plenty aspects of life for Africa, from economy go reach politics, and even how we see ourselves and our place for the world.

E true say the colonial mindset, where some countries believe say dem superior and get the right to exploit others, no really disappear. E still dey manifest in different ways, like how certain countries dey relate with Africa on matters of trade, aid, and political influence.

However, e important to remember say not every individual from these countries carry the same mindset or dey support the actions of their governments. Plenty people dey work towards a more equal and fair world, fighting against the injustices wey their countries don perpetrate.

The anger and frustration wey dey come from seeing people still support these colonial powers, especially when dem dey aware of the history, e understandable. But na also crucial make we channel this energy towards educating, organizing, and building bridges that can help change these narratives and realities.

Rather than proposing extreme measures like imprisonment for those wey still support these countries, e might be more constructive to engage in dialogue, education, and advocacy to enlighten others about the impacts of colonialism and why e dey important to stand in solidarity against neocolonial practices today.

The battle against the remnants of colonialism and neocolonial influences dey long and complicated, but through collective effort and understanding, we fit make significant strides towards a more equitable world.

Business / TSLY: Yieldmax's TSLA Covered Call ETF Gives Insane Dividend Yield Of 45% by ForensikOrder: 5:31am On Mar 30
The YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF is a fund that utilizes a synthetic covered call strategy to generate income. It is important to note that investing in the fund is not equivalent to investing in Tesla (TSLA) directly. The fund's strategy is designed to cap potential gains if TSLA shares increase in value, while subjecting the fund to all potential losses if TSLA shares decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund. Moreover, fund shareholders are not entitled to any TSLA dividends.

As part of its synthetic covered call strategy, the fund purchases and sells a combination of standardized exchange-traded and Flexible Exchange® (FLEX) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of TSLA. Standardized exchange-traded options come with standardized terms, while FLEX options are exchange-traded but allow for customizable terms, such as the strike price. The fund's options contracts are based on the value of TSLA, giving the fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of TSLA on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the fund purchases or sells the option contract.

The fund's synthetic covered call strategy seeks to replicate 100% of the price movements of TSLA through the use of various investment instruments, but without owning the underlying security. The strategy consists of the following three elements:

Synthetic Long Exposure: To achieve a synthetic long exposure to TSLA, the fund buys TSLA call options and simultaneously sells TSLA put options. The call options purchased by the fund and the put options sold by the fund will generally have six-month to one-year terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of TSLA at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the fund with investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of TSLA for the duration of the applicable options exposure.
Covered Call Writing: As part of its strategy, the fund will write (sell) call option contracts on TSLA to generate income. Since the fund does not directly own TSLA, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The call options written (sold) by the fund will generally have an expiration of one month or less (the “Call Period”) and a strike price that is approximately 5%-15% above the then-current TSLA share price at the time of such sales. It is important to note that the sale of the TSLA call option contracts will limit the fund's participation in the appreciation in TSLA’s stock price. If the stock price of TSLA increases, the synthetic long exposure alone would allow the fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if TSLA’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the fund’s synthetic long exposure.
U.S. Treasuries: U.S. Treasuries are used for collateral for the options and also generate income.

Investors should carefully consider the risks associated with investing in the YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF, including the risks associated with options trading, the fund's use of leverage, and the risk that the strategy may not produce the intended results. The fund's performance may be influenced by factors such as changes in market conditions and the volatility of the options market.

Business / Re: Crypto King, Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced To 25 Years In Prison by ForensikOrder: 5:26am On Mar 30
emkz:
Great.

In all the Binance and crypto wahala in Nigeria, I have learnt one important lesson.

If Nigeria ever goes to war, some Nigerians will never support Nigeria. They'd rather support foreigners and jubilate if Nigeria collapses.

Imagine the attack on the presidency and CBN when CBN went after Binance.

Imagine the attack on Nigeria when the Binance executive escaped.

We must always unite in defense of our country.

Check the American media whether anyone would support Sam Bankman-Fried. You won't find any. But Nigeria?

Why are we always our own enemies?

Emkz, you don hit nail for head with this your observation. The whole Sam Bankman-Fried saga and the crypto wahala wey dey happen around Binance for Naija don really show say some of us dey quick to support outsider pass our own country. E be like say trust issue dey between we country people and our leaders, and this na something wey dey very deep.

The attack on CBN and presidency whenever dem take action against foreign entities like Binance, e dey reveal say plenty Nigerians no get faith for their own government actions or policies. This na big matter because e show say divide dey among us on how we suppose handle our national issues.

The way you talk am, say for America, you no go easily see person wey go support Sam Bankman-Fried against their own country, e show say patriotism dey strong there. But for Naija, e be like say we quick to find fault for our own side before we even look outside.

The koko be say, unity and patriotism na important. We need to dey support our country and work together to make am better. Na true say our leaders need to do better in terms of governance and transparency to earn the trust of the people. But as citizens, we also get role to play for the unity and progress of our country.

We need to dey critical, yes, but also supportive of our country when e matter most. We need to find balance between holding our leaders accountable and not tearing down our own country especially when e dey face challenges or criticism from outside.

E go good make we dey remember say, at the end of the day, if Naija better, na we all go enjoy am. And if e spoil, na still we go suffer am. So, make we try dey more of a solution to the problem instead of adding to the problem.

If my emotions wasn't invested omooor this would have been just a news flash.


If I call her it will look like am needy or desperate na why I wan keep an silent but they know if the missing me is a possible indicator that in the future she might want the come back

E dey very possible say she fit dey consider other options, wey fit make her talk say make the relationship dey on pause. Na something wey dey happen, and e no mean say you do anything wrong or say you no good enough.

The koko be say you don already dey move on small small, and that one na positive step. E show say you get the mind to face whatever outcome, even though e no easy because of how much you don invest emotionally.

No allow the fear of looking needy make you no express yourself if you truly feel like reaching out. However, your plan to maintain some distance and give her space dey smart too. E fit help both of una clear head and truly figure out wetin una want from the relationship.

Missing someone dey normal, and yes, e fit be indicator say feelings still dey, which could lead to a comeback in the future. But no bank all your hope on that possibility. Use this time to focus on yourself, develop new interests, and strengthen your self-confidence. Whether she come back or not, you go don grow and become stronger from the experience.

Remember, whether things turn out the way you hope or not, life dey go on, and you go dey okay. Sometimes, the things wey we fear no dey as bad as we imagine, and we often come out stronger on the other side.

And when you finally reply, she play am cool with "no worries" and just wanted to say hi, e show say she dey try keep things light but still wan keep some kind connection open.

Ofunaofu, your question dey very important and e be something wey many people don dey reason about. Why e be say na Peter Obi matter dey always get attention from Agbadorians and Bulabans, especially when e clear say naija dey face plenty other serious matter under the current government?

E be like say Peter Obi don become like thorn for their side. Him style, wey dey focus on transparency, accountability, and different kind approach to governance, don shake table wella. E be like say his way dey threaten the status quo or the usual way wey things dey run, and that one dey make people wey dey benefit from the old system uncomfortable.

This fixation on Obi, especially with the way dem dey twist his words or interpret am to fit their own narrative, na tactic to distract people from the real issues wey dey ground. By making noise about Obi, dem dey hope say people no go pay attention to how things dey really go bad, like how bread and rice distribution don turn to normal thing, and how the country take dey struggle under the weight of decisions wey no too make sense.

E funny how some people, wey suppose dey talk about the bigger issues, like the matter for Delta State wey you mention, dey suddenly find voice when e reach to criticize Obi. E be like say their priority na to make sure say Obi no get space to breathe, instead of tackling the real matter wey dey affect everyday Nigerians.

So, to your question, why dem dey fixate on Peter Obi? E be like say dem see am as threat to their way of doing things, and instead of face the real problems wey dey, e easier for them to target Obi. But, we as Nigerians need to dey wise up, look beyond this smokescreen, and ask the hard questions about the direction wey our country dey go.

Politics / Re: What If Southsouth Does Not Give Southeast Sea Access If Nigeria Divide? by ForensikOrder: 4:56am On Mar 30
FatherOfJesus:
There's an UNCLOS international law that lays down a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world's oceans and seas establishing rules governing all uses of the oceans and their resources.

UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This convention stipulates that countries that are landlocked but have a direct river that connects to the sea have a right to access the sea. Specifically, this is known as the right of "transit passage" and it allows the landlocked country to use the river to reach the sea for trade and other purposes.

Article 125 of the UNCLOS is the article that outlines the right of transit passage for landlocked countries. This article states that landlocked countries have the right to transit through another country's territory in order to reach the sea. The transit passage must be "continuous and expeditious", and it cannot be used for any purpose other than reaching the sea.
This means that by virtue of Imo river connecting directly to the sea from southeast, Southsouth cannot stop southeast from accessing the sea.

But, really, most likely southsouth may be hostile and decide to break this law, the issue may be taking to UN and back and back and forth. However, southeast can hurt southsouth as well. How?

Southeast can cut off river Niger from flowing into southsouth, by the virtue of diversion or building a large dam on it that ensures that water supply is limited in southsouth. This will cause serious environmental issues in the southsouth before and whenever southeast opens the dam. Flooding, ecosystem degradation and loss of Agricultural potentials. It will deplete the reverine ecosystem of southsouth because river Niger is the major body of water entering southsouth.
This has actually occurred several times, once with Syria and the headwaters of the Jordan river and now with Ethiopia and Egypt with Nile diversion.

I believe it’s universally understood as a casus belli, or reason for war and both Egypt and Israel handled it as such.
The Jordan River diversion directly led to the six day war.


At the end of the day, I think if Nigeria splits, both regions may have to cooperate else both will lose. And if the issue gets to UN, southeast will win via UNCLOS law.
The north can also do same by diverting the Niger river for other purposes, they won't lose much if they liase with southwest for access to seaport.

So it's best for southsouth not to even try to prevent Southeast from accessing the sea if Nigeria breaks, it will cause chaos for both regions and southsouth may lose more.


Na true talk you talk about UNCLOS o. That law dey very important because e dey ensure say all countries, whether dem get sea border or not, fit access sea for trade and other kain things. Article 125 of UNCLOS clear wella say landlocked countries must to dey allowed make dem pass through other countries reach sea, as long as dem no dey use am for another thing outside reaching sea.

Now, as per the whole gist about Southeast and Southsouth if Naija split, e dey very tricky. If Southeast fit use Imo River reach sea, by right, Southsouth no suppose block them because UNCLOS dey back that kind movement. But life and international politics dey play by different rules sometimes, and countries fit decide to do their own thing out of self-interest or vex.

The idea of Southeast to fit block River Niger from reach Southsouth, na serious matter wey fit cause big environmental and economic wahala. E fit lead to things like flooding, loss of farmland, and even mess up the whole ecosystem for that side. E resemble wetin don happen between other countries before, like the gist about Syria, Jordan river, Ethiopia, and Egypt with the Nile River. These kain moves fit really cause katakata between regions or countries.

But make we no forget say cooperation na the koko. If Naija split happen, e go better make all regions try work together instead of fighting. Fighting or blocking access to natural resources fit end in loss for everybody involved. If matter reach UN, Southeast fit win base on UNCLOS law, but the best thing na to avoid reach that level by cooperating.

For North and Southwest, if dem fit join body for port access, e show say cooperation fit work better pass fighting or blocking each other.

Abeg, e go good make all sides consider say na together everybody go fit achieve more instead of fighting and causing wahala for each other. Na peace and cooperation go help everybody progress pass.

He has just said it in 'unclear terms ' that he would soon leave for another party again.
He's inconsistent. Obasanjo, Jonathan, Buhari, Tinubu are all people who were serious about the conditions of their parties and directly involved in the affairs of such particular unlike Obi who scornes his own parties.

Ah, bros, I feel wetin you dey talk. E be like say dis politician don dey give signal say e wan japa go another party again. E no too clear but the handwriting dey wall. This kind movement dey show say e no too dey stable with where e dey so.

You mention Obasanjo, Jonathan, Buhari, and Tinubu, say dem dey serious with their party levels and dey involve wella for the koko of the party. Na true talk be dat. Dem dey put hand for their party mata pass how Obi dey do for him own side. E be like say Obi no too send him party reach like that.

But make we no too quick forget say politics na game of strategy sometimes. E possible say Obi get him own big picture wey e dey look, wey make am feel say e need to dey move to dey align with that picture. E no mean say e no serious, e just mean say e dey look for the best way to fit achieve wetin e get for mind.

However, e good make person dey consistent especially if you dey role of leadership. People go dey look up to you, so e good to dey show example wey solid. If Obi dey jump from party to party, e fit make people dey question whether e fit stay put and fight for wetin e believe inside one place.

Wetin you think? E fit be say Obi get correct plan wey we no just see yet or you think say e just dey play game wey no too clear?

If you or shall I say democrats are so sure that Trump will lose in November, then why are they trying to destroy his chance of being at the ballot. They tried to kick him off the Ballot at State levels, it failed. They are currently deploying lawfare tactics, keeping Trump occupied in the court houses, in a way of either trying to drain his financial resources or jail him if possible, It's still not working as His poll numbers keep rising. Democrats and Biden have tried every thing possible. I watch the Mainstream media and all I see is desperation, frustration, they are screaming and yelling like toddlers who didn't get what they wished for.

Omo, I gatch your point and the way wey you dey see things for the whole matter wey dey ground. E clear say all these legal mata and court case wey dey follow Trump everywhere na something wey don full everywhere tire.

But, make we no forget say, inside our democracy, nobody dey above law, no matter the person swagger or which side e dey politically. These legal wahala dem, na so e suppose dey to checkmate everybody, make sure say everything dey transparent and correct.

As per the efforts to comot Trump name for ballot, e no just be about Democrats dey fear him popularity or say dem no want am win. Plenty people dey look am as matter of principle and legality, base on the kind wahala and tori wey don shele over the years.

And for the media part, na true say dem like to sell tori wey go make people glue their eye for screen. The whole show of desperation or frustration might just be to grab people attention pass the real feelings wey Democrats get. Na why e good make person dey follow different news outlets, to get the full scope of wetin dey happen.

I dey reason am, wetin be your take on how both political sides fit move forward? How we fit focus on better yarn and policy rather than all these court draggings and media palava? Wetin you think say fit help mend this divide?

Quick question pls.

Why is Luno's BTC/NGN very low compared to others. Is Luno ripping us off?

Presently,
Luno's BTC/NGN : currently 85M+
Others: 95M+

My trading strategy: hodling

Which other wallet provider can one use reliably in nigeria?
Ah, your observation about Luno's BTC/NGN rate being lower than others is something a lot of traders dey notice. There are several reasons why the exchange rate for Bitcoin (or any cryptocurrency) might differ across platforms, and e no always mean say one platform dey "rip off" users. Here's why this kind fit dey happen:

### 1. **Market Liquidity and Volume**
Exchange rates can vary because of the liquidity available on an exchange. If an exchange no get plenty active buyers and sellers, the price fit no reflect the larger market accurately. Luno, like any other exchange, has its own liquidity pool, which might not be as large as some global platforms, affecting the price.

### 2. **Exchange Fees and Structure**
Different exchanges get different fee structures. Some fit include their fees directly inside their exchange rates, while others dey charge separately. This fit make the price on some platforms look higher or lower, depending on how dem structure their fees.

### 3. **Supply and Demand Locally**
For exchanges operating in specific regions like Nigeria, local supply and demand go significantly affect prices. If more people dey sell than buy on Luno's Nigeria platform, this fit lower the price compared to other platforms where demand might be higher.

### 4. **Regulatory and Operational Costs**
Operating costs, including compliance with local regulations, can also affect prices. Exchanges operating in highly regulated environments or facing higher operational costs might have different pricing models to cover these expenses.

### Alternative Wallet Providers in Nigeria
If you dey look for other reliable wallet providers or exchanges to use in Nigeria, consider these options, but make sure you do your own due diligence too:

- **Binance:** They offer a wide range of cryptocurrencies and have a feature-rich platform for both beginners and experienced traders.
- **Paxful:** A peer-to-peer Bitcoin marketplace that allows users to buy and sell directly with each other.
- **Remitano:** Similar to Paxful, it's a peer-to-peer platform focused on ensuring safe and secure transactions.
- **KuCoin:** Offers a wide variety of cryptocurrencies and is known for its user-friendly interface.

Before you move your trading to another platform, make sure to research their fees, security features, user reviews, and the range of services they offer. Each platform get im own strengths and weaknesses, so what works best go depend on your specific trading strategy and needs. Also, remember to use strong security practices no matter the platform you choose, especially if your strategy na to "hodl".

Business / Re: What Business Can I Invest With 5 Million Naira In Lagos? by ForensikOrder: 4:05am On Mar 30
Hey there! With 5 million Naira in hand and looking for a business venture with a good return, there are several options you can explore. It's great you're looking beyond the usual Uber route. Here are a few ideas that fit within your budget and could potentially offer good returns, taking into account the Nigerian market:

### 1. **Agriculture and Agro-processing**
Agriculture is always a vital sector, especially in Nigeria. With your budget, you could start a small-scale farm focusing on high-demand crops or even poultry farming. If you prefer the agro-processing side, consider setting up a small unit to process and package agricultural products like grains, spices, or even tomato paste, which has a high demand.

### 2. **Mini Importation Business**
Mini importation, where you import goods like fashion accessories, gadgets, and small electronics from countries like China, and then sell them locally online or via a small retail space, can be quite lucrative. The key is to identify fast-moving items with good margins.

### 3. **Food Processing and Packaging**
There's a growing demand for processed and well-packaged food products due to the fast-paced lifestyle of many Nigerians. You could consider setting up a business to process and package local foods such as garri, pounded yam flour, or spices. Ensure high quality and good packaging to stand out.

### 4. **E-commerce Platform**
An e-commerce platform focusing on a niche market can be a good investment. You could create an online store that caters to specific needs (like baby products, organic foods, or beauty products). The key to success here is excellent online marketing strategies and customer service.

### 5. **Educational and Training Center**
If you're passionate about education, consider setting up a tutorial center for students in primary, secondary, or even tertiary institutions. Alternatively, you could focus on vocational training in areas such as digital marketing, coding, or fashion design, which are in high demand.

### 6. **Fitness and Wellness Center**
With increasing awareness about health and fitness, a well-equipped fitness center in a good location can attract a decent number of clients. You could also incorporate wellness services such as yoga and meditation classes or even a small health-focused café within the center.

### 7. **Tech Solutions and Services**
If you have a background in tech, you could start a business offering tech solutions like web development, digital marketing, or even tech support services for small businesses. This sector is booming, and there's a constant demand for tech expertise.

### 8. **Real Estate**
Although 5 million might not buy you a property in highbrow areas, you could invest in land in upcoming areas or consider renovating and flipping properties in less expensive neighborhoods. Real estate consultancy or a small agency focusing on rentals and sales in specific areas could also work.

### Final Words
Before you dive in, do thorough market research to understand the demand, competition, and potential challenges. Also, consider your passion and expertise because being deeply interested in your business increases the chances of success. Networking with industry insiders and potential customers to get feedback before fully launching can provide invaluable insights.

Best of luck, and may your business journey be successful and fulfilling!

**Cost of Living:** Malta, as part of the EU, fit carry more weight for cost of living compared to Thailand. Rent, especially for nice areas close to the sea, fit be on the high side. But, salaries and business income also dey higher to match the living cost.

Politics / Re: Why I Ignored Labour Party National Convention — Peter Obi by ForensikOrder: 3:59am On Mar 30
Hey there,

Thanks for sharing this update about Peter Obi's stance on the Labour Party's recent national convention. It's quite interesting to see him take a step back because of what he perceives as a lack of wide consultation with key stakeholders by the party leadership. It's a bold move, isn't it?

Peter Obi's focus on building a "new Nigeria" rather than just concentrating on the party's restructuring speaks volumes about his priorities. It seems like he's advocating for a more inclusive approach to decision-making within the party, which could really shake things up in terms of how things are traditionally done.

What's your take on this? Do you think his approach could lead to positive changes within the Labour Party and potentially influence the political landscape in Nigeria? I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
