What development?


You were just told you don’t have refineries, you don’t have basic education, you don’t have basic healthcare, you don’t have power, you’re loosing doctors and nurses. Your handlers call you names like useful idiot and G & H.

And you dream to surpass a whole South Africa that recently went head to head with USA and only got a slap on the wrist.

You probably own a power bank, pay for 5000 data but only received 4000 worth and you want to surpass South Africa.

If Dangote was a South African he would 3ce as wealthy as he is today, and South would not import a pint of fuel let alone kerosene.

Barely understand how civilizations proceed and you dare speak. Keep your quack hypotheses for your drug induced girlfriends

So you expect all this to happen in Nigeria overnight…
Let me start with you when last did you pay your taxes??

happney65:
Why should you do an overhaul of them? Are they not "private" entities?

You can see they are only private in name and not in deed.

Let the government hands off the sector and let true private investors come in. Any disco should either sit up or go to sleep. Not nonsense overhauling

Wetin concern agbero with overload. That is to tell you, it is all same of the same.

The government is the Disco,The Disco is the Government.

Disco wey no fit invest one naira in infrastructure. Na Disco be that or Reggae Blues

Awon oluya..

So when Discos chooses to go to sleep knowing fully well that there is no competition because they each have their territories mapped out..

This airline is state own, if I am correct!
This is a testimony of good governance and it's reflecting in all ramifications in the UAE.

9jvirgin:
I applied for the eligible 25% of my pension 12 years ago when I was moving to the US. They still have my 75% with them.

These people have billions of our hard earned salaries with them saying they are waiting for us to pass 55 years old before they release the remaining 75%. Lol

It’s not them..it’s the law that is holding it.

If you're not happy, when the road is completed, don't use it.

Simple!!!!!

ImpartialGuy:
He said Tinubu has saved so much money used to service debt. Ask him how much he has saved and where he kept it, you will see him scratching his head. Who tells a monkey to help him keep a bunch of bananas?

Go back and read today news about our net foreign reserves..that’s where your answer lies..

Bobo La hot!!🥵

When you know what you want to do..just do it!!!..assuming president Tinubu had listened to those ignorant fellows that want to keep living in dressed reality…Nigeria for don cease to exist now!!

DesChyko:
Help with a link to this report containing details of the re-routing please. Thanks 🙏🏾

Here you go..
https://nairametrics.com/2025/03/20/sabotage-of-nigerias-trans-niger-pipeline-threatens-oil-production-as-renaissance-reroute-pipeline/

DesChyko:
If the violence continues, the State of Emergency will only be extended as there is now further proof of violence in the state. In summary, the winners are in Abuja. The losers remain the mandate of the people of Rivers.

Quick thought: How is it that a pipeline explosion so devastating that it triggered a State of Emergency, was so quickly repaired and operations resumed under 3 days? Even experts in the oil industry were stunned.

The more you look, the less you see.

It’s now glaring that you only read the headlines..
If you had read the report of “operation commerce on trans-Niger pipeline “..you would have known that it was re-routed to continue operation.

He didn't do any magic.... Only El rufai saved him

Another person will save him in 2027 too..

Unah really dy underestimate this Tinubu ooo..have you forgotten the 2022 APC primaries so soon??!!!

Bullman:
All I have to say is that democracy is not for the black man. Every black president sees him self like a demi God..
democracy will continue to fail woefully in Africa..
Black leaders are dictators with totalitarian regimes..

Democracy is not for the black man but the black man didn’t use power that was not within the constitution..if you have not read the constitution go and do so!!

Urgent1Million:
E don set!
If Tinubu has any integrity left, he'll sack Wike as well so that both parties will have time to reflect on their actions.
Meanwhile, who's compiling the "profile of the new sole administrator of Rivers state, Vice Admiral Ibokette Ibas (Rtd)"?

Legally he can’t because wike is not the governor of rivers state..wike can only be cautioned at the backyard but cannot be reprimanded openly..

fullclub:
The debate around relocating abroad (“Japa”) has intensified after media personality Dele Momodu claimed that anyone who spends ₦30 million to leave Nigeria is a fool. His statement sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing while others says that that 30 million is nothing compared to the financial reward that comes with japa

Having lived in the UK for some time now, I’ll share an honest perspective on the financial reality of life here, especially for those considering selling anything just for relocation.

Breaking Down Earnings in the UK

For context, I work an average of 36 hours per week (9 hours daily for 4 days), meaning in a month, I clock 144 hours of work.

Minimum wage in the UK is £11.44 per hour, and most employers are required to pay this, except in cases like apprenticeships.
144 hours × £11.44 = £1,647.36 per month
After tax deductions, which depend on factors like number of jobs and tax codes, my take-home pay is around £1,479.55.


Monthly Expenses in the UK
Here’s a breakdown of my fixed monthly costs:

House rent – £700
Gas & electricity – £120
Council tax – £110
Water bill – £43.46
Food – £200
Transport – £140
Phone bill – £52 (for two people

Total expenses: £1,365.46
Remaining balance: £114.09
Although i could have chosen to work up to 5 days which would have given me total income of 2059 and 1775 after tax but to give my partner a chance while i take turn to look after the kids

Note: food is extremely cheap and affordable unlike in Nigeria. That's why most that relocated after few months they look revived and fresh

Now, factor in additional responsibilities. We send £150 monthly to family back home in Nigeria. My wife, who works part-time (two days per week because of our baby as leaving the children will risk losing them to the governmen), earns about £732 per month, which we try to save, though unforeseen expenses (baby food, transport, etc.) often reduce our savings to around £500 per month.
Aside this we spent over 4000 pounds this year alone for health insurance. Yes its a must you pay it and funny enough i have not visited the hospital once since i arrived.

More worrisome is the endless billing from home , the billing from friends and extended family is out of this world, from your pastor who want tithe in pounds and thinks it's because of his or her prayer u went out, to your siblings, to your inlaws, to secondary schools friends, university's friends to even your street guys to Facebook friends. Those who will quickly open Opay account for their 3 years old child and forward you school fees or birthday bill. What about those who forwarded us their house rent bill to help clear their rent of over 500k abeg na

A lot of Nigeria said if they are offered 50 million and japa, they will prefer japa as they will earn more over when i read this comment on Facebook i just laugh hard as this is not the case as a research said that over 39% of UK residents have a minimum of 1000 pounds as savings this means that Despite earning in pounds, many struggle with high living costs, taxes, and bills but on the other hand In Nigeria, ₦50M can fund investments that generate steady income.
In the UK, unless you’re in a high-paying field, you will mostly live paycheck to paycheck


Comparing Life as a Single vs. Married Individual Abroad


Single individuals have a higher chance of saving since they have fewer responsibilities.

Married couples without kids can maximize their earnings by both working full-time while covering expenses from one salary and saving entirely the other salary.

Families with children face higher expenses, including childcare, health insurance, visa fees.

This is why adequate preparation is crucial before relocating, especially for families


Is Dele Momodu Right? Should You Japa with ₦30M?
We should understand that Dele Momodu is an elder and vastly traveled and he knows what is obtainable in Europe and America.
His point is valid if you look at finances alone because at the ene of the day almost all you make goes back to the system. But If insecurity concerns and food inflation in Nigeria didn’t exist, staying back with ₦30M would be a better financial decision as you could expand your business.

Another thought is the issue of owning a house. An average 3 bedroom house cost over 300k pounds and i have worked with colleagues who are in their late 50s struggling to work and pay off their mortgage so as to be free while me in my 30s own over 3 house back in Nigeria . Some pays mortgage for over 35 to 40 years but shockingly most they end up selling it at old age hand over this money to care homes to take care of them till death. Note children dont have any responsibility of taking care of their age parents they leave their lives while the parents uses proceed from their house to offset this bill

Final Thoughts: Should You Japa?

Japa is not a one-size-fits-all decision. If you have ₦30M and solid income streams in Nigeria, it might be wiser to invest and build wealth at home. But if safety and quality of life matter more, than wealth accumulation then relocating might still be the best option but must be done tactically especially when coming on student visa as one academic error could throw u off.

Bottom line: Japa is not a magic solution—it requires careful planning, a realistic mindset, and financial discipline.

Picture below is my phone bill

There other bills i chose to ignore like the tv bill. I didn't buy tv because i know that one will end in another billing

Wait OP does it mean that you don’t have TV at home??!!

mikeapollo:
Shallow, empty talk!
What is new in fuel scarcity? Does Nigeria itself not experience fuel scarcity too?
They will pay Nigeria for the fuel if we supply them and Nigeria will collect the money. It is not for free. It is called International trade!
Many Nigerians just like talking trash out of ignorance and useless bloated ego.
They can also buy the fuel from Dangote refinery just like other countries. It does not mean jack!

If they had the money do you think they don’t know where to import from..or do you think they will purchase fuel internationally using their own currency??..
They don’t have the dollars that’s why they came to Nigeria bro!!

lexy2014:
can you please explain how LASUTH is the best teaching hospital in Nigeria?

if it is that good, how come tinubu has to run to France every time he needs medical attention?

does LASUTH have cancer treatment facilities?

if it does, can you please name them?

Which other hospital in Nigeria comes close to Lasuth??

My total tax payment for last yr 2024..was 1,082,496.73 paid to LIRS!!..now that is what obasa wants to use to purchase vehicles for his two wives!!!..after working night shift all through last yr!

FairlyUSEDpussy:

GloriousGbola:
the woman was 28 in 2023 [born in 1994]
2face will be 49 this year

a 20 year age gap.

definitely a midlife crisis

the woman is The Deputy Majority Leader of Edo State House of Assembly and Member representing Egor Constituency.

likely she will use tuface to boost her political profile

and she is a CU grad

2face is entering the one chance older men allow their dicks to lead them into - this woman is a different generation, is educated, and does not need him.

she gonna pussywhip him into simpdom. watch and see.

Omo nah you know all this one wey you analyze oo..
One lesson: Do what always makes you happy!!..this life nah one..☝🏻

ceejay80s:
So u are saying if my child's school want payment in dollar and I offer them naira and they refuse is crime?

Yes so far you are in Nigeria..they are not even at first to request dollars from you..

ceejay80s:
And some schools in Nigeria will accept dollar for fees and Nigerian news will always tell us how much in dollar it cost to purchase or repair in Nigeria

Accepting is not a crime but refusing to accept naira for that same goods or services then becomes a crime

CodeTemplar:
If the buyer has dollar and is willing to pay, why not allow two gentlemen deal in peace? The guy also has the option of accepting Naira equivalent and going to exchange it for dollar in black market.
It is either the seller accepts Naira and buy dollar with it, or the buyer buys dollar with Naira and pays the seller. Almost the same thing.

He refused to!!..that refused is the word that is sending him to prison gan gan..when you refuse to collect naira when offered..it becomes a crime

;D2-3years ago..we were at the mercy of this so called marketers..begging them to import fuel!!!..now the story has changed..
Naira was btw 1000-1300 and they were saying landing cost was 730-800 now naira is 1600..landing cost is coming down!!
Power of competition.

budaatum:
No insult taken.

When I buy a truck of Guinness in Nigeria and export it myself to UK, its a local sale for Tolaran but an export sale for me. And at a bottle of small Guinness at £2 and a large at about £4, you might see how my local purchase might be 20 trucks, and that's just me since Nigerians are not averse to money and profiteering and benefiting from scarcity.

There was hardly any local Guinness on the shelves of London retailers during the scarcity, note, and we Guinness drinkers are very very loyal to the brand.

ohhh okay, I get your point now..
