Your post is senseless. Nothing in my post talked about our population's comparative (dis)advantage. You just came here to speak big grammar and made no point. There is a thin-line between complaints and self-denigration, what Nigerians practice is the latter. Like I said, travel and see.

You're just an ostrich who prefers to hide his head in the sand. Even Americans that seem to have it all still complain about their system every now and then because they don't want to rest on their laurels yet you that is living in a country where you are virtually denied all the good things of life that ought to be taken for granted, would prefer to sugar-coat your sorry situation. But while you're giving excuses for your sad state still have it in mind that the rest of the world won't wait for you.

Have you been to Cameroun? I have visited Rwanda several times. While I admit it is a very progressive nation, its progress is somewhat exaggerated. Outside of Kigali, Rwanda is at best glorified Jigawa State. Ask anyone who has visited the country, don't assume.

With people like you trying to defend or justify the rot and disgrace Nigeria has become, then salvation is still a million miles away! You can only begin to make a change for the better when you truly accept that there is a problem. Nigeria is even worse off than is being depicted. Did you know that majority of African countries and rest of the world enjoy constant and uninterrupted power supply?? Your universities have been on strike for several months now, and just because the presidential election is a few days away, they decided to suspend it, now emphasis is on SUSPEND and not even call-off!! Can you travel a few kilometers on your inter state roads without wondering if you are driving through an earthquake ravaged region?? What is the unemployment situation?? So, even becoming the poverty capital of the world is not something to be ashamed of?? Even your apology of a president whom some of you are still going to vote for despite all his failures, can buhari be compared to the leaders of other progressive African countries like Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda etc in terms of qualifications and intellect?? What is your security situation?? At the rate your country is going, can it ever develop even in a hundred years time?? When it suits you guys, you claim that Nigeria's population is what is hindering it from developing at a optimal rate yet you all still fail to acknowledge that China, India, Brazil, United States etc are a lot more populated than Nigeria and have all turned their population size into a big advantage while you see yours as an obstacle. Please stop trying to defend Nigeria's worthlessness or blame those who are intelligent enough to complain about it, rather join them in condemning the situation because it is only when there is a consensus anger from the populace that your wicked leaders will become uncomfortable in their comfort zones.
Nigeria is today an embarrassment to Africa and the entire black race when it should have been a shining light considering its enormous potentials.

Owerri is gradually becoming an international city where people from different parts of the world could feel at home. With such restaurants opening in the city, foreigners working in the oil industry will be flocking into Owerri and coupled with the serenity, with time, many of them will start settling too and the economy will continue to receive a boost.

Btw, those pizza look tantalizing

drshrewd:

my friend sherup. Am from Rivers state but most weekends I spend it in owerri just like most of my friends. Owerri is a relaxation and hospitality city just like Miami, las Vegas of this world. The city is quit seren and beautiful with cool spots for your entertainment.
Do you know that just an average hotel/casino there makes over ten million naira a month. Do you know how many of such are there and more that are currently springing up? That means billions to the government. Do you know that las Vegas make more many in hospitality industry than Nigeria make in oil?
Again IMO is an oil and gas producing state. Their are a lot of multinationals and indigenous oil n gas firm that means billions in igr for the state. In fact IMO has one of the biggest state economy in Nigeria. It is the Fifth largest economy (do a little Google search)
The economy is even expanding as real estate has become the next biggest thing in the state

Please ignore that frustrated and ignorant bingo. He continues to rant senselessly up and down looking for attention. Imo is the fifth largest economy in Nigeria but how will he know that when all he does is to say nonsense and sleep on Nairaland. Tourism and hospitality, real estate etc is booming in Owerri and rich guys from P.h, Aba, Onitsha and other cities around like to come to Owerri to relax and spend their money which is partly the reason why things are relatively expensive in Owerri than other cities in the East except P.H.

Omololu001:
Yeebos should go back to the south East, stop running to other people's land all in the name of one Nigeria.

Abuja is controlled by the APC, yeebos can't be dictating who and where the APC can campaign in Abuja, they can only try the rubbish in Igbo land.

I support the APC thug.

You're a disgrace!!
If Igbos can't live in Abuja, the so called federal capital and other places in Nigeria, then why are we all still answering Nigeria??

Useless country!!

1million is much for 7days, but it would be good you take it along so you can explore more on your needs.

Brother, just take emirate direct so you don't have to take another bus from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, as you would be needing bus card and too many directives from people; if only you want to take cab which might be very expensive.

As for the hotel. I will suggest you book apartment- hotel, where there would be kitchen so your wife can always cook for you Inside the house, instead of eating junkies; plus it's more spacious and homely.

Cheers man

It's really encouraging to hear that a million naira is more than enough for 2 individuals on a 7 days trip. However, does it mean that tourists are exempted from having BTA with them?

Bobbyunitedfc:


ok...7 days visa shouldn't be more than 50-70k,and regarding hotels i advice u check online maybe bookings.com or hotels.com and its better u book online and make payment,way cheaper than payment on arrival,hotels are usually very costly on weekends from Wednesday cause our weekends starts on Thursdays.
Getting a visa shouldn't be an issue ,am not sure they dont use dat age criteria again,see many girls here on tourist way younger than 30,as for your flight i advice Kenya,Rwanda,or even Egypt if you dont mind the stop overs and these options are way cheaper than emirates n etihad...

Wow, 50-70k for visa is quite affordable I.e 140k for two at most. But since they don't have embassy here in Nigeria, can I apply for visa through airlines such as Kenya Egypt? I wouldn't mind the stop overs at all (would even prefer it so I can have a glimpse of those places as well).
About the age, that won't be an issue to me even if the policy is still in place because I'm now way older than 30. When I visited Churchgate was 2013.
Thanks for your information.

I think you might also find this thread useful.

Thanks bro, the link you provided is so on point.

Bobbyunitedfc:

Yes now... 1m...depends on a few things tho....
Lenght of stay...3months... A month or a week..
Choice of hotel... Main town somewhere around business Bay.... Or cheaper options at Deira...
It all depends on u...

Since it's just a honeymoon for two, I wouldn't stay more than a week. I wouldn't mind a cheap but decent hotel accommodation and also be able to buy a few things. The last time I made enquiries years back at Churchgate towers, I gleaned that Emirates airlines and Etihad airways work as the defacto embassy for UAE in Nigeria and they were denying Nigerians below 30 years then visa.
Can you help me with the cost of visa for 7 days, flight cost (cheap airlines I can use because I discovered then that Emirates was expensive but while Etihad was cheaper, their final stop is Abu Dhabi while bus conveys passengers by road to Dubai). And finally, how much cheap hotel rooms can go for. Thanks for your help.

Bobbyunitedfc:


U already paid him 125k when 3months visa costs like 200k...
Exchange rate as of today na 98...but agents keep using 100... When u get here dey tell u pls u overtime u make 150k...
Good luck brother

Bro, you seem to be in the know about how these visa things to Dubai works. Can one million naira cover all expenses for a honey moon in Dubai, including visa, flight and hotel accommodation??

Re: QATAR AND UAE GENERAL VISA ENQUIRIES Part 3 by NONNYG


Pardon my ignorance. Bed space up is truly cheaper than down. NONNYG is perfectly correct. hank you for your observation.
And it is not compulsory you stay or live in a bedspace if you can afford the rent of a studio room or flat. I know people who live or stay alone in thier apartments even where I am presently putting up.
Your pocket defines your state of living in Dubai

Wow, you mean grown ass men living on a bunk bed like school kids? The hustle is real men

Lagos is a mess and an epitome of shit-hole....Why my Organisation decided to transfer me to Lagos is what i do not get

Noise,filth bad roads,agberos and general lawlessness everywhere....Its insane!

Dont evn get me started on their below-standards accommocation with layers and layers of hungry folks masquerading as Estate Agents..

Unlike serene,clean Abuja with very decent accomodation,Lagos is an eye-sore...You will pay for a substandard 3 bedroom flat for 1million and pay agency of 580,000 Naira!

This is because miscreants attach themselves to genuine Agents and expect to be paid the stipulated 10%agency and 10%Lawyer fees like the genuine Agents...as well as caution fees.e..t.c...and Lagosians are okay with that,so much for their 'open eye'

The houses nko?..eye-sore upon eye-sore

Seriously working my transfer back to my Abuja and my nice accommodation in Area 11 Garkii abeg..I cant deal with this crappy Lagos for much longer

Abuja is bae..no contest!

You're absolutely on point. I was living in Lagos until I had to tell myself the home truth that this so called centre of excellence is nothing but a typical Hobbesian society! People having to wake up as early as 4am in the morning, waste several man-hours on traffic and still return home as late as 11pm in the night! I really pity those who are unfortunate to be passing through such lifestyle in Lagos. Abuja, Owerri, Enugu and Calabar are the only decent cities I can reside in Nigeria. I can't live in Lagos, no matter what.

madridguy:
PDP and their lamentation as usual.

With people like you still roaming wild in Nigeria, this country will forever remain a sh1thole!! Can you imagine someone as re.tar.ded and senile ike Buhari ruling other serious countries in Africa like Ghana, S.Africa, Egypt, Kenya etc not to talk of developed countries?? They would instantly impeach him talk more of allowing him to go for reelection. The whole country is in shambles; corruption is at an all time high, insecurity is at an all time high with no solution in sight, economy is in the doldrums, unemployment is at an all time high yet a few cabals because of their own selfish interests are still propping this vegetable as a façade for them to continue to milking this country dry while nursing their inordinate ambition. Despite all these, some supposed human beings are still supporting buhari. Posterity will judge you all, karma will visit you all, one after the other!!!

Imagine the most important city in the Niger Delta named after a rapist and paedophile
Igweocha which was the original name should be returned.

Ray97:
how many muslims complain.. wen a position is giving to a Christian how many Muslims complained wen osinbanjo removed duara.. let me ask you.. how will the government islamize Nigeria.. pls give me a detailed explanation..

Ostrich who has vowed to always live in denial even when they are slapped with the truth!
If the tables are turned, will you savage Muslims accept it??
That's my question

Guzel:
Okorocha is the father oh new IMO.
Forget the online noise from mbaise

Enyia, use your head na, wetin concern Mbaise with Rochas, or is Mbaise now in Orlu zone??
Continue seeing Mbaise giants everywhere... Onye eriri eri

Ray97:
am a Christian and i dont see any thing wrong as far as the system is moving dats all that matters.. if you look at the money a Muslim jamb registrar is remitting compared to wat a Christian register remitted to the government then you'll understand my point or is it the fine work comptroller of customs is doing now compared to what the former did. was it not in Nigeria that leader of all pastors oristejafor was caught with millions of dollars in south africa.... religion should not be a barrier or problem is such matters. it wasnt like this before now, dont know what is wrong with everybody

Gherarahea bingo!!! See your mouth "am a Christian and I don't see anything wrong..." If the reverse is to the same, will you Muslims claiming Christian on Nairaland accept it??
Islamization of Nigeria is as real as daylight!!

pharoah7:
as much as we both hate buhari..please edo state can't be ravaged by Fulani herdsmen..we are too sensible and no nonsense for such

You can't be so sure. Mark my words today and refer to this post from 2019, if buhari returns either by hook or crook, the menace of herdsmen killings will go out of hand, and this time it's not just the middle belt that will bear the brunt, states in the SS, SE and SW will come under serious attack. And you know what, there is nothing you could do about it because the military will give them cover and if you try to retaliate, the same military will invade your community and disarm everyone!! If you prove too stubborn, the same military will be used to kill the youths under the code name of Python dance. I really pity the middle belt and all Southerners should buhari return. The kind of crises Nigeria will face will be unprecedented and places like Ghana will look like heaven to those that would be unfortunate to be in Nigeria under Buhari post 2019.
Bookmark this post today, and refer to it after 2019, you will call me Nostradamus

hisexcellency34:
That can't work. If Igbos won't give Atiku support, who will they give?

That is the problem, Nnamdi Kanu does not want anything to do with Nigeria or its election, and he knows that a win for Atiku will stabilize the polity and probably reposition Nigeria which will be inimical to Biafra's actualization, this is because, the more prosperous and comfortable Nigeria and its citizens are, the less Igbos or others will demand for separation. With Buhari, Nigeria will continue to hover on the precipice and tension will remain high which will result in more clamour for Biafra. I hope you get it now?

chinnyonwu:

Alright oga professor, so if he is NOW a full fledged Nigerian why's nnamdi kanu bringing it up? What point is he trying to make by stating Atiku is from Cameroun?

The point Nnamdi Kanu is trying to make is very simple if you are discerning enough. He wants Igbos to stop giving him support and since they don't want buhari, they will now abstain from voting on election day and viola, the sit-at-home he wants becomes a reality.

senatordave1:
Buhari has never won there,their votes are not important.taraba results
Pdp 400,000
Apc 300,000

If Buhari gets up to 15% of total votes in Benue, Taraba and Plateau states then I will know they are suffering from Stockholm syndrome!!

Just Negodu?? And some id1ots still claim that buhari is fighting corruption. These kleptomaniacs just shared $15 million among themselves!! In a country where university students have been at home for months now due to striking lecturers asking for enhanced emoluments, a country where the poor masses are demanding for better minimum wage with the FG claiming there is no money to pay them, a country where millions are going to bed hungry every day, a country that is now known as the world's poverty capital yet a wicked and fraudulent government of Buhari just dashed a couple of loyal vagabonds $15 million dollars!!!!
Some re.tard.ed riffraffs will still come online to point accusing fingers at others for being corrupt!!
Buhari and his band of thieves are committing the worst form of corruption in Nigeria since the death of Abacha, and posterity will forever judge them.

....And all I pray is God has mercy on them... This girl called Kiki Osinbajo must have attended night school.
Like seriously

I can only shake my head!! That some so called human beings are still supporting this re.tar.ded vegetable to continue destroying their lives with his actions and inactions speaks volumes why Nigeria is today the world's poverty capital. How can a country with almost 200 million people with millions of them educated and enlightened yet have this apology of a man as president??
Any Middle belt person that still goes ahead to vote Buhari will forever regret it!!
Any body that lost his or her job or saw their income plummet due to Buhari's maladministration and still go ahead to vote him is unfortunate and will remain so for a long time to come.
Any Igbo that still goes ahead to vote Buhari despite all the evil things and atrocities he committed against them, is indeed an efulefu of the highest order and will forever regret his or her actions.
Anybody in the North East who despite Buhari's maladministration and inability to rein-in boko Haram and still goes ahead to vote for him is sick and may not survive the next four years considering boko Haram's incursions without anything being done about it.

ANY NORMAL NIGERIAN THAT STILL GOES AHEAD TO VOTE FOR BUHARI NEEDS HIS OR HER HEAD REEXAMINED!!!

Buhari can never survive a day as a president in any country that is normal.

nkemdi89:

You will be miserable throughout your life, if you continue to promote evil, this is a critical time in our country, come to abuja and see all estate own by Igbo's , if you like don't channel your energy into positive things, akpa amu.

Nne, odika ibiara ebea Ohuru. That guy you are quoting is an afonja zombie, he is among those supporting the old illiterate terrorist to continue destroying the lives of Nigerians. Majority of those saying no election in Biafra land here, are afonja zombies who are hoping that Igbos will boycott the election so that buhari could win. Ignore those irritants!!

The quality of education in Nigeria is indeed a JOKE!! I read the whole of page one yet not even one person could read between the lines and understand what Nnamdi Kanu said, such a shame!!!
Nnamdi Kanu said that Atiku WAS A CAMEROONIAN, emphasis on WAS!! Is it that you guys ranting all over the place did not know that South Western/English speaking part of Cameroon, (present day Amazonian) was once in Nigeria while most parts of Gongola state I.e. present day Adamawa and Taraba states were part of Cameroon before the 1963 referendum?? NCNC party was named so for a reason!! Those that removed history from the curriculum in Nigeria did a great damage to the psych of Nigerians.
Atiku's area was once part of Cameroon before they decided to belong to Nigeria while those in the English speaking SW chose to join Cameroon!!

It's such a shame how the office of the vice president has been reduced to a utility office for dispensing odd jobs.
I like the way Akwa Ibom people embarrassed the fake pastor. The midget should be ashamed of himself, buying voters with peanuts under the guise of loan giving is an obvious act of desperation from people who does not have the slightest idea of what governance ought to be.
Is that not the big-head Akpabio following behind??
Iberiberism in full HD display

NgeneUkwenu:
Scanty crowd

How is this scanty crowd? Do you understand the meaning of scanty at all?? If this mammoth crowd can come on their own in solidarity with Atiku without being paid a kobo despite Umahi's indifference, then it's game over for the terrorist. He won't even see 5% this time!!

Wow, this is massive!!
ATIKU we know, the terrorist must be sent back to Daura before he destroys everyone in Nigeria!!

nonsobaba:
SE will disappoint Atiku in the elections. He should continue deceiving himself moving hired abakaliki touts from one venue to another

You're finally showing your true color after denying your identity for donkey years. Anambra people should disown this impostor!

That's a Democrat talking not the agbero who has been ruling Lagos for donkey years
