I don't have RIP to waste for NPK.
How many have died in SA since June 30th the Independence day of Umqombothi Republic?
Ok let him rest in pieces. Are you happy now?

Repent and stop disrespecting the dead.

Only a ring fraction of Nigerians in SA came back. There is a side called Lagos in SA. These xe protesters dare not go there.

Politics › Re: Sarauta Maryam Accuses Festus Keyamo Of Double Standards Over Peter Obi by franvincoop: 5:34pm On Jul 11
Atiku is not in the league of Peter Obi or Oshiomhole.
Atiku can only be compared to people like OBJ, GEJ, Namadi Sambo, Osinbajo, Abdulsalami, Gowon, IBB, Tinubu and Shettima.
Atiku is an exGovernor and an exVice President.
Not Vice Presidential candidate or Presidential candidate ooo, ex Vice President of the FRN.
Go and check the lifetime retirement benefits of an ex Vice President in Nigeria and then quote me if you like.

Efuaye:
I thought Peter Obi, as an ex-governor, was entitled to some lifetime benefits, like easy access in public places?
That aside, Oshiomhole, though an ex-governor too, is in the ruling party while Obi is the opposition nightmare of APC.
They don't seem to care much about Atiku.

Celebrities › Re: Samlarry Discharged From Hospital, Celebrates With Friends (Pics, Video) by franvincoop: 5:15pm On Jul 11
When the accident go happen, the car go somersault 7 times but na only and driver go die plus you go see very little to no blood like this Sam Larry own.
Dem go tell you say dem survive due to airbag and seatbelt meanwhile even u and driver get the same airbag and seatbelt.
Finally they go tell you say na the seat where dem occupy na why they survive.
The state of that car does not warrant any occupant to leave the hospital in less than a week after the accident, but what do I know?
They will soon call me superstitious.


Let me tell you a story on why my father warned all his wives to never ever buy meat from Alhadji Yaoba again under threat of divorce.
About 40 years ago, when my father was a veterinarian in Adamawa state, we lived in Yola while my father drove to Mubi to work everyday.
Mubi in those days was the biggest cattle market in the whole of Africa.
Alhadji Yaoba was a butcher in Yola and my mums - 3 of them used to buy meat from him atleast once a week because my father used to come home with meat as bribe/gifts from Mubi.
My father had the old Peugeot pick up and he used to carry passengers and Goods on him way to/from work for extra money.
On that fateful day Alhadji Yaoba went to Mubi on his own to buy a cow for his butcher shop but he was unable to find a cow that would match his budget so he called my father to inform him that he is in Mubi and that he would like to join my father in returning to Yola since his mission was unsuccessful.
My papa said no problem but he will have to hop in the back of the pickup as he had already reserved the 2 seats in front for other persons.
On their way back to Yola, on the outskirts of Mubi, a cow hit the pickup truck, the pickup did not hit the cow, the cow hit the pickup truck no matter how my father tried to dodge that cow and the pickup nearly hit a tree.
The herdsmen with the cow were not angry nor aggressive because they knew it was the fault of the cow and started cursing the cow and themselves and about how angry their oga will be.
Alhadji Yaoba told the herdsmen that he wants to buy the cow and the herdsmen were delighted and he bought that cow dirt cheap, I can't remember how much again but he himself confessed to my father that the cow was even bigger than the ones he could not buy in Mubi due to shortage of funds.
The car was damaged infront with front bumper and bonnet twisted, cracked windshield on one side, side mirror gone, traficator light gone but in good condition.
There was no injury except from some few bruises caused by leaves and branches when the pickup tried to dodge the cow and entered the bush with windows open.
They loaded the nearly dead cow with broken legs on the pickup truck and continued to Yola.
On arrival to Yola, my father dropped Alhadji at his shop with the cow and my father expected to receive a share of the cow as compensation both for the transport of Alhadji and the cow to Yola and for the damage to his car.
Alhadji told my father that if my father or anyone in that car eats the meat from that cow, that the person would die.
My father thought it was a joke until he repeated this many times and even got angry saying he is trying to save my father's life.
He told my father that he could give him a million naira rather than have him eat just 1 slice from the cow.
He told my father that tomorrow morning he will go and call a panel beater to repair and repaint the car bonnet and a mechanic for a new side mirror, traficator light and windshield.
He gave my father some money that evening but my father refused to collect it and said the priority now is to fix his car not money.
In the morning, true to his word Alhadji came with the mechanic and the car was fixed but the panel beater guy took about a week or so to finish the bonnet and front with the painting, Alhadji paid for all the expenses.
He offered some money again as compensation but my father refused to collect any money from him.
That was when my father warned all of his wives that if any of them wants a divorce or misses their fathers house, they should go and buy meat from Alhadji Yaoba again.
We the children were warned about making friends with any of Alhadjis children, our friendship should end in school or football field, henceforth we should neither visit their home or bring them home for whatever reason.
When one of my mum gave birth to triplets, my father organised a feast, killed a cow and goats and invited the whole neighborhood for feasting and everybody came including Alhadji Yaoba.
Alhadji Yaoba was served food with huge chunks of meat but he ate all the food but did not touch the meat and gave the plate back with the meat to my father after eating.
My father just laughed and understood that Alhadji Yaoba does not eat meat which was not invoked by him.
Stay safe!!!!

NB: I don't have step mothers/brothers/sisters.
I only have mothers, brothers and sisters.
My Christian father had 3 wives, 1 Muslim, 1 Kirdi, 1 Christian.
All of us (16) were baptized and confirmed in the Catholic church but we have all read the Koran and speak fluent Hausa, Fulani, Tupuri and Igbo and Yoruba.

Yes, we are as healthy as what we eat.
I appreciate your honesty, e rare pass HIV negative person for South Africa.
Happy weekend


amazonguru001:
Hahahahahaha

Na why dem talk say, we are as healthy as what we eat.
I eat all those you listed but hardly eat bread sha.

But count me out of that Suya thing.
If they wash it while preparing it, I wouldn't mind all the other ish.
The deal breaker for me is not washing the meat.

Lol, for bread , I grew up helping my mum sell bread. So we will always go to the bakery to collect bread.

On one occasion I chanced on where they were mixing the dough.
The guy was sweating like a Christmas goat, all the sweat was dripping into the wooden thingy containing the dough being mixed.

As if that was not enough, on another occasion I saw the person mixing the dough , use chewing stick and was spitting the whatever from his mouth just by the wooden platform used for mixing, and as he spat some fell right inside the dough he was mixing.
The guyman continued what he was doing oh.
Kept mixing the thing.

How about moving the mixed dough to the table where they would do the cutting to size nko, they place the dough on their dirty and sweaty back. That's their means of transportation.

Meanwhile that table they are using for cutting is where they sleep whenever they want to. Imagine sleeping on a table, placing your legs on the table, very dirty legs oh, legs wey don step on different things.

Honestly, this is the reason I hardly eat bread. Except for modern bakery where I believe the standard would be higher.

Yes, I agree with you,eating all those things and many more get as e be oo.

But you are safer if you eat whatever you prepare at home.
At least I can't eat meat wey dem no wash.

Even my rice I parboil it first, before finally adding water to get it done.

We are as healthy as what we eat.

Watch what you eat.
Crime › Re: How We Secured Release Of Kidnapped Oyo Students – Nigerian Army by franvincoop: 3:11pm On Jul 11
What were you expecting when Bayo told you the army will give further information.
I mean a whole Presidential Spokesperson ooo telling you to wait for updates from the Army.
That means the Presidency no know wetin dey sup.
The presidency nor Makinde did not mention any casualties but Bayo said 8 kidnappers were arrested and some killed.
Makinde did not mention any arrest nor killing nor casualties on the side of the army or kidnappers.
The army did not mention any 8 kidnappers arrested or killed but mentioned that there were some casualties on their side.
Same story 3 different versions all contradicting each other.

But don't worry, even if a lie gets to Sokoto today,even if the truth is in Bakassi now, anytime the truth is released, it will overtake the lie in Sokoto before it reaches Zamfara.

Since the Presidency doesn't want to tell us the truth as always, no wahala, the truth will come out by next week when the parents of those children will start dropping the real stories of what transpired from day 1 to day 56 inside bush.
Trust children, them go explain am well well, draw even picture.
Just be on standby for chronicles from Oyo kidnapping.
Just know that Bayo will still come for part 2 to clarify his part 1 statements or tell us those parents and children are lying.
VDM can you please interview one or two of those children?
Is it not strange that Igboho and Fayose have not said anything till now? Even congratulations to Tinubu

Kalashnikov49:
Chai ..if you believe this then you are Empty upstairs.

i)
The arrests completely disorganised the group, exerted overwhelming pressure on them and ultimately led the terrorist group to unconditionally release the pupils and teachers,” he stated.

If they released the children after sustained pressure, why now say this...

ii)
He, however, disclosed that security forces recorded casualties during the operation but did not provide details on the number or identities of those affected

So the Fulani Militia even killed Military personnel in an engagement, but released the captives without any of them being killed by the Military? grin

Abeg ooooo!!!!...

Online they claimed they killed 8 terrorists and arrested some. Now, they acknowledged that Fulani Militia killed them. Abi, is this APC version.

What is happening here na... grin

What kind of lie is this na!!! grin

Simply say ransom was paid...after paying ransom you tried to confront them directly and met with casualties.

Why lie? ..haba!! angry

If we are to talk about unhygienic foods, do you eat bread?
Have you ever been to a bakery back room before?
What about garri? fufu? Amala? Abacha? Okpa? Moi moi? Akara? Shawarma?
But you still eat them because of the same fire killing bacteria but you want to disprove fire now because it's kilishi.
Even God in Genesis did not create fire.


amazonguru001:
Not many people know.
Such a pity.

Even those that have an idea claim , afteral shebi the fire don burn all the bacteria.
Hahahahahahaha

I have watched closely how these stuffs are prepared.
The malam goes to the meat market/slaughter. Buys meat.
Comes home
You would expect him to at least wash the meat.
Lol, you are in for the greatest shock.

He doesn't wash nada.
He picks his knife and starts cutting off parts he feels needs to be cut off.
After which he slices the meat to size and shape.
He then puts the meat stick as necessary.
He leaves the meat on the table unattended till he is ready for the next stage.

At this point, the meat becomes a host to various flies. As well as traps pollutants in the air and dirty environment. (Open gutter, smokes from burnt refuse from the street corner).

He then spreads the now bacteria and dirt infested meat on the fire ready to be roasted.
As he roasts he adds groundnut oil.
At this points it becomes very attractive to passers by.

Here comes Uncle Sam, hardworking and unassuming young man.
As he walks by, he is attracted to check out the oily attractive suya.

The mallam cuts a small piece of meat, adds the pepper with suya spice, then gives uncle Sam to eat. That one na tasting o.
It tastes really nice.

Then Sam places an order.
Aboki. Oya cut 1k own give me, cut another one, 2k, and another one 5k.
He pays.
Now he is on his way home.
On the way, he branches to buy Holandia Yoghurt.
Now he begins to salivate and imagine how he would pounce on the bacteria and dirt host (Suya).
Sam being a good guy also plans to give his neighbours.
The 1k own for the security at the gate always greeting him oga Sam welcome sir.
The 2k own for that 19 year old girl Blessing, he has been eyeing in the compound.

While he as the Flexing baba , will now munch on the 5k own along with the cold Holandia Youghurt.

But before he starts, he goes to the backyard to switch on his "i better pass my neighbour" gen to disturb the whole yard with endless noise.

Then he begins to watch Netflix & chill with his suya + yoghurt combo.

At the same time, he places his back on the couch with his Samsung phone in one hand, as he chats with Blessing. Who is alteady grateful for gifting her 2k portion, which she is now sharing with her other 6 siblings.

Of course she is now smiling sheepishly as she chats with Uncle Sam.
She has no doubt that another one go sure next weekend.
At least, for the past 5 weeks. It has become a weekly ritual.

Uncle Sam i hail oooooo.
Food › Re: Suya Or Kilishi: Which Would You Go For? (pictures) by franvincoop: 2:43pm On Jul 11
Unfortunately for you, not all kilishi is sun dried.
I have eaten both oven dried kilishi and sand dried kilishi.
Go and verify


Fidzzski25:
I served in Sokoto state and had the privilege of seeing how kilishi is prepared. It is left in the open air for days to dry under normal atmospheric conditions with flies every where and areas of the slices containing fats became greenish which usually fade away once fully dried. Once dried they are then coated with the redish sauce before being sold as kilishi.

Unlike suya the rams mostly in Sokoto are slaughtered that day and grilled with spiced vegetables oil and eating with pepper sauce.

After that experience I swore never to eat kilishi again

You are in the league of folks like Sonnobax15, people wey woman don damage leave them with PTSD.
The eye wey I dey take look woman no be the same eye wey u dey take look woman.
Sorry ooo

Kalatium:
There is one question every man should ask himself before calling any woman the 'love of his life' .

If everything you have worked for disappeared tomorrow, if your job was gone, your business collapsed or your income suddenly stopped, would she still look at you with the same love, respect and admiration? What if she starts Earning more than you, will she remain with you?

For a long time, I believed the answer would be yes because love was supposed to be unconditional.

Life eventually answered that question for me, not once, not twice, but eight different times in a period of 10 years. Every relationship was different, every woman had a different personality, from different ethnic groups but the lesson at the end was painfully similar.

Story One: When I Lost My First Job

We had been together for two years and I genuinely believed we were building a future together. When my former company downsized and I lost my job, the first person I wanted to speak to was the woman I loved because I expected comfort, encouragement and reassurance that we would get through it together.

Instead, the conversation immediately shifted to : What would become of the relationship now that I was unemployed. The warmth gradually disappeared, the phone calls became less frequent, the replies became shorter and within a few weeks she had emotionally checked out. Before long, she had moved on with another man. Two years of commitment disappeared almost as quickly as my monthly salary.

Story Two: "I'll Find Someone Else"

Months later i got into another relationship. As of then i started a business i got introduced to and at it was booming. Then came a point, where the business became slow and money was unusually tight. For the first time since we started dating, I could not spend the way I normally did. I communicated this to her and she said okay but just a few days later she called and asked me to send her money so she could buy a dress and shoe she saw.

I honestly explained that I was struggling financially and simply needed a little time to recover. Instead of asking how I was coping or understand me or encourage me to stay strong, her response was, "It's okay. I'll find someone else." Those six words changed the way I see her because I suddenly realized I had been valued more for what I provided than for who I actually was. This was a major trigger that orchestrated our breakup later.

Story Three: Betrayal After Sacrifice

The lady was very lovely that i thought we will get married. She was from a humble background, looked gentle and portrayed herself like the kind that will be faithful to me (ride or die). I paid bills, solved problems, handled emergencies and constantly made sacrifices because I genuinely loved her and believed we were building something meaningful together.

Unknown to me, another man with a bigger bank account had quietly entered the picture and was doking her. By the time I eventually discovered what had been happening, she had already moved on emotionally while I was still investing my time, energy and resources into a relationship that had quietly expired. I felt betrayed and shattered.

Story Four: I Helped Her But She Left
[b][/b]
This one pained me the most because of extend i went for her. She is in the health profession and graduated without securing an internship placement. She was frustrated about her future because her mates have already started and are already ahead of her. I refused to watch her struggle alone. I reached out to people I knew, made several calls and eventually helped her secure internship in where i did mine previously. While she worked without salary for months, I continued encouraging and supporting her financially because I genuinely wanted to see her succeed.

All of a sudden everything changed. The communication reduced, the effort disappeared and eventually she walked away from the relationship. She gave no solid reasons saying it's not me it's her and she needs to find herself. Later, I got to found out she had already started earning before she broke up with me. Looking back, I sometimes wonder whether she simply felt she no longer needed me as she is now earning or feel i will ask her for money or what . I became an overnight philosopher.

Story Five: She claimed not to have money and later got scammed.

We dated for three years and during that period I never hesitated to support her financially whenever life became difficult. Helping her was almost natural to me because I believed that was what partners were supposed to do for each other. This was the lady i loved the most.

One day I genuinely needed financial help myself and reached out to her after other options failed. She calmly told me she did not have any money. This was my first time of asking her this and since i trusted her, i thought she actually didn't have. Many days later, she was moody and closed off. I asked repeatedly what was wrong only for her to end up crying, saying someone had scammed her with a significant amount of her money. The painful part for me was not that she got scammed. The painful part was realizing she had the money all along but told me she doesn't have anything. She simply chose not to help me when I needed her. I felt betrayed. When i reflected on everything i realized that even when i am in a precarious situation, she won't ever help me. I never took her serious since then.

Story Six: I Was Always the One Giving

This relationship forced me to reflect on something I had ignored for a long time: reciprocation. I was having this mentality that when my woman needs help, I will always show up immediately without thinking twice. Whenever she faced a challenge, I considered it our challenge. However, looking back today, almost every meaningful sacrifice came from my side and i was shooting myself on the foot.

I began to notice that whenever I genuinely needed emotional support, encouragement or even small acts of kindness, there was almost always another excuse, another reason or another delay. I don't like to keep score but i can't help but noticed she has never did anything worthwhile, even when monetary aspect is kept aside. She is always asking and taking but have never giviing and she is 30. Loving someone should never feel like carrying two people on your shoulders while pretending the weight is equal.

Story Seven: The ₦100,000 I Never Saw Again

This relationship was still very new when she called saying she had an emergency and urgently needed ₦100,000. I explained that the money had already been set aside for something very important, but because she was my girlfriend, I agreed to lend it to her after she repeatedly promised to repay me.

The money never came back. Whenever I reminded her, she started making me feel guilty for asking for money i send to her oooo. At one point she even asked why I was behaving as though she were a stranger. That moment taught me that borrowing money should never automatically erase accountability. I ended the relationship out of disgust. This was the shortest relationship i had ever been.

Story Eight: The Experiment That Changed Everything

After everything I had experienced, I recently decided to quietly test one relationship earlier this year after the lady was claiming she is not after a man's money. So I deliberately reduced how much I spent while making sure nothing else changed. I still called regularly, stayed emotionally available and continued showing genuine affection. The only thing I reduced was the money.

The result shocked me. Almost immediately I was accused of no longer caring, no longer trying and no longer loving her like before. Nothing about my character had changed. My attention had not reduced. My commitment remained exactly the same. The only thing that changed was my spending, yet that alone completely changed how I was treated. That experiment taught me one lesson no relationship expert ever could.

My Overall Reflection

Before anyone misunderstands this post, let me make something very clear. I am not saying every woman behaves this way because that would be dishonest and unfair. These are not all the ladies i have been in a relationship with but this is a result of majority of those i have been with. I know there are loyal, supportive and emotionally mature women who genuinely stand beside their partners during difficult seasons.

My concern is that I have personally experienced this pattern repeatedly as well as others, and many men quietly carry similar stories without ever talking about them. Society constantly reminds men that their value lies in what they provide, while very few people ever stop to ask what emotional support men receive in return.

A man is expected to provide, protect, remain emotionally strong, solve problems and carry responsibilities without complaining. The moment he experiences financial difficulty, many people begin questioning his worth instead of asking whether he is mentally exhausted, overwhelmed or silently struggling with responsibilities nobody else can see.

Money is important. Bills are real. Responsibilities cannot be ignored. Every serious relationship requires financial responsibility from both partners.

Genuine love, however, should never disappear simply because someone enters a difficult season. Every human being will eventually experience moments when life does not go according to plan. Character is not revealed during comfort. Character is revealed when circumstances become uncomfortable.

Today I no longer judge relationships by sweet words, romantic promises or social media displays. I pay attention to how people behave when there is nothing material left to gain because hardship exposes intentions that comfort successfully hides.

My biggest lesson is one I will carry for the rest of my life.

Money can attract attention.
Money can attract admiration.
Money can even attract temporary affection.
Money cannot buy genuine loyalty.

If someone's love expires the same day your money stops flowing, then perhaps what you had was never really love.

It was simply a transaction wearing the mask of a relationship.

So let me leave you with one honest question.

If you lost everything tomorrow, would your partner still choose you, or would they quietly begin searching for someone with a healthier bank account?

This may just be a coincidence. But isn't it strange that the day it was officially verified who the co-flagbearer of the APC presidential ticket in 2027 will be, the kidnapped school kids in Oyo were released?

Just a thought. Were the people behind the kidnapping trying to force the presidents hand? Was politics behind all this? The suffering of those kids? The killing of their teachers? Was the insinuation that the president may drop his vice a trigger for the kidnapping?

I'm pretty sure this is all a coincidence though. Special thanks to the president and indeed all the security agencies who worked for the release of those children. I pray such an incident never happens again.

See as you cast Nigerian universities and by extension the degrees awarded.
Tomorrow UK, US EU and Canada universities go start restrict qualifications from Nigerian university degrees and refusal of visas, una go dey cry racism.
But see am now
You will never see an Indian, Pakistani, Zimbabwean, Jamaican or Filipino make such disclosure on a global forum.
You damn sure don't know who is on nairaland.

If you chose D on all questions and got 208 and you succeeded, why the need to brag about it? can't you hold on the hubris?
Can't you resist the urge to shalaye?
What are you secretly gaining from making such a disclosure? Is it showing you are wise, street smart or what?
What is your personal gain by divulging such verifiable information?

That money way Gbaja pay you, nairaland will still be here when the money runs out.


Image123:
Same way also as you're saying if he resigns now, it's also going to be seen as an admission of guilt. In Nigeria, that is how we operate if he resigns it's an admission if he doesn't resign it's an admission. It’s just too light for him to resign. If you have concrete facts present them out let us know that, let's all be at the back of the person shaming him not that you just decide by unstable words.
Politics › Re: Atiku Rejects ICPC Probe Of PFIPC, Demands Panel To Include ADC, NDC by franvincoop: 4:56pm On Jul 09
You that is thinking right, why is it that in the appropriations committee in the National Assembly, the vice chair must be a member of the opposition party?
When you figure out the answer, you would know why ADC and NDC should be members of the independent commission of inquiry.
Or would you like to join the independent commission of inquiry with your fellow Akara frying members?
Unfortunately no one would believe your report, afterall you guys just three your own police report under the bus and are promising us a hail Mary from ICPC. Who goes!!!

muykem:
You people can't thinking right again instead of asking for independent audit firm. Is ADC and NDC registered for investigation or what capacity do they have to carry out investigative audit. Unserious opposition figures that just like to play to the gallery.
Celebrities › Re: There Is Some Truth To ‘School na Scam’ – Jim Iyke by franvincoop: 4:29pm On Jul 09
Some people pass through school but school no pass through them.
A classic example is this Jim Iyke.
Olodo uprising even people wey get certificate plus half educated ones plenty inside the uprising.
If not, how can you be comparing watermelon with pineapple?
You were a student and when you graduated you became an actor, not a teacher, then you start saying you are richer than your lecturer who is a teacher rather than an actor.
He was supposed to work as a lecturer before telling us that he is richer than his lecturer, then we would believe him.
By the way, Jim Iyke na old timers Nollywood VCR cassette rewinding and scratched CD star.
In today's digital world of Nollywood, this guy is a nobody.
Let him tell us how he is richer than Funke,then I will take him very serious. Bruto


Lucymercy:
School no be scam...he choose the wrong narrative to as a case study.
Lecturer are not poor.
In case you miss it...you are supposed to be richer than your lecturer
A sportsman is supposed to be better than his/her coach
When you are taught a craft the person expect you to do better than him. In case Jim does not the lecturer/teacher expect their students to excel in life....they are disappointed if they are not.

Sorry but I am not opening any link.
You were not born in the UK and you have never been to the UK.
Infact you have never ever seen a UK visa in your life, talk less of British passport.
If you had ever been to the UK even in your wet dreams,you would never have had the audacity to write such trash.

All those diaspora you say are coming back, where did they get the money to come and setup the businesses in Nigeria to employ you and pay you 60k? Where?
Please don't dare reply.

Thank God the youths are feeling the heat from Akara frying and corn roasting, no be you or Bwala go tell them, go to nairaland travel section this minute and see questions like how to get visa for Bosnia, Cambodia, Uzbekistan, even Mongolia.



TopBanter:
Lol. I was born there. Had a British passport from birth. Yet still chose to relocate to Nigeria after living most of my life there. Nigeria is wonderful in ways the UK can never be even with her level of development. I say this as someone who loves the UK.

You don't even want to know the number of Diasporans moving back to set up businesses because they prefer the superior work/life balance
Nigeria presents while many nations in the West, like the UK, make life feel like humans are robots to work and pay bills and taxes.

Don't believe me? Nairalanders, check the link below to note how so many diasporans are move back to set up businesses.

Use the @compoundafrica link to see so many businesses diasporans are relocating to set up because they understand the UK, Europe, USA are unsatisfactory and a grind.

What Nigeria has to do is diversify her economy, i.e sources if income, aggressively, support SME proliferation, the lifeblood of most economies of the worlds nation, and improve the quality of her human resources to increase per capita income.

Good luck with your suit.
Do you think the Policemen you see on the road have ever seen a copy of the constitution, talk less of reading it?
Policeman wear undersized beret, oversized shoe and trouser, na im u dey talk about constitution.
It seems you have been watching too many movies made in Washington DC.
This is Nigeria.

Bros, na man you be ooo, I hail you.
I dey earn around 9500 but na 1 job I get and I still get side hustle join.
I hail you because 3 jobs for dis UK no be Akara frying or corn roasting.
But bros, shebi you go slow down very soon cuz you no go fit work so consecutively for the next 10 years. You dey take time off abi?
No offense ooo, I just talk I no know your age but to avoid breakdown.


Trueyarn:
The idiot even said it is possible to run 3 jobs concurrently in the UK. How possible is it to run 2 jobs in Naija?

I run 3 jobs in the UK, earn about 8400€, all those expenses he mentioned takes about 1800€. How is someone in Naija earning 60k Naira better than me?

The Idiot didn't even use the minimum wage of 70k to push his dim witted agenda.

Omo if you can JAPA, do so coz that Government is filled with stupid people at the very upper echelon.

Who was he really addressing? because if I dey there I no go leave am finish talk that rubbish.
I can't let him finish that statement in my presence, I would disrupt him and prefer to be dragged out.

60k wey no fit make ordinary passport?
60k naira which is just 3 hours of minimum wage work in UK?
I dey pay conservatory glass cleaner 20 pounds per hour for 2 hours once a month to come clean the glass windows, only that money pass 60k naira.
This useless talk from Bwala dey vex me, anyday I jam Bwala for UK here, una go see the news for this nairaland.
What do these people take us for?
Some of us are gullible and stewpid but definitely not all of us.



Kobojunkie:
These poeple worship the idea of life in the UK. He probably already has family members there whom he plans to join up with once he has amassed enough Nigerian wealth to do so. He knows all about what you have there and more about the UK than you can imagine. undecided

But, of course, Nigerians love to pretend their politicians are clueless, so they can feel good about what they pretend to know more. huh

You fit get shared accomodation for London between 700-900.
All these London wey Dem dey first talk, even person wey dey Surrey, Epsom, Sutton dey London.
Birmingham na around 550-650, Solihull, edgbaston.
Coventry na around 400-550.
I dey flip houses for UK, I no wetin I dey talk.


Originalsly:
I don't think he knows the current buying power of the Naira.... and I wouldn't be surprised. People like him just don't know the cost of ordinary stuff. I don't even believe he knows the cost of rent in the UK ... claiming he lives there doesn't mean he knows. I don't .... but don't believe rent is as low as £800 ... maybe yearssss ago. About people dying in the street because of can't afford to survive... that's going too far. Mainly drug addicts and mentally ill persons are the ones who die on the street. Is it a must to exaggerate? ... or to lie?
