My dear property gurus, ao, I was just scrolling through Instagram and I stumbled on a property page where lovely houses at Lekki worth over a million dollars (500m naira) were advertised and I'm wondering if it's worth it buying such $1m, #1bn houses in Nigeria with the way naira keeps falling daily with no hope of it ever getting better or to just keep the money in an offshore account while it accumulates interest? What about the option of buying properties abroad while one lives in Nigeria?
Note that many of these houses also look the same and very boring from the outside, lol.
Note: I'm talking about spending that much money on just one house but you can also give answers in terms of buying several properties worth above $250,000 in Nigeria.
Please I need advice on this. I was given fasting and praying which is supposed to end today but yesterday night i was not feeling alright then I visited a doctor who gave me some medications and placed me on drug, I'm suppose to use some this morning but I'm afraid I might spoil my fasting.
PLS I NEED ADVICE
Una happy sunday
So your doctor didn't ask if you have eaten and give you injections?
I am in dire need of support from people who have travel experience. When I say travel experience, I mean people who has relocated from Nigeria completely.
I will be 30 next month, single (have always hated the idea of marrying any lady in Nigeria because I have been unlucky with most of them i met as they seem complicated, inconsequential, dishonest and inexposed).
To make this short, I spent a lot of my youth working so hard to save enough money with the mindset to relocate from Nigeria as Nigeria depresses me alot.
I have been able to save nearly 20 million naira, excluding investments running in millions i wish to put on cargo to ship wherever I wish to relocate to.
Now, my problem is finding a suitable location or environment where i can relocate to without stress and problems.
Note that, I do not intend to work for anyone as I have my own skills.
United States, United Kingdom are out of my plans as I have realised their system are not built to favour me or my type of person and seem more like stress and a slavery environment to me.
I applied for Canada visa with hope to get work permit but has been on hold for months as they have been on lockdown since.
Having lived in South Africa before for a short while and felt like home there, I had it as an option but I am at crossroads, if I can have better suggestions from experienced people here.
Also, if anywhere in Europe is advisable (remember I do not wish to work for anyone except part time, in my field or if must require me to get a work visa)
Please I need advice.
Have you considered Dubai? I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos about Canada and Dubai immigration and Dubai seems better than I thought it would be plus they have zero tax. If you start an online business you can manage it from Dubai.
With this little calculation below you can help yourself, if you can't, I can help u with the calculations.
The Simplest Way To Calculate The Numbers Of Blocks U Need For Your Fence
The simplest way to calculate the numbers of blocks you need for your fence project, assuming you are fencing a land measuring 120 feet by 60 ft, a standard plot
This calculation is based on 9 inches block fence . The measurement we are using is 120 ft (length) and since we have two lengths that is multiply by 2 which is 240 ft. (120 x 2) = 240
The breadth is 60 ft and also since we have 2 breadths that equal 120 ft (60 x 2) = 120 Then (240 + 120) that is 360 feet perimeter line fencing.
The calculation
(we are to convert this 360 feet to inches ) since a foot is 12 inches , now let us multiply 12 inches by 360 ft which is 4320 inches.
Now to get the line numbers of blocks that will go around the fence perimeters of 4320 inches or 360 feet, we would need to divide 4320 by 18 inches, since the length of any block be it 6 inches or 9 inches is 18inches.
Now 4320 inches divide by 18 inches is approximately 240 line of blocks , then we must multiply that by the numbers of coaches of blocks you want for your height, assuming 7 ft which is 9 coaches that means 240 multiply by 9 which is 2160 blocks, i have been using this method for years without any mistake, and for this work, you only need 30 bags of cements, one bag of cement to 50 blocks.
for your pillars between the fence, let assume 6 blocks from one pillar to the next pillar, that means 6 divide by 240 which is 40 pillars.
40 lengths of 12mm iron rod, since one pillar is equivalent to 1 length.
3 lengths of 16mm iron rod for the 2 big pillars holding the gate.
90 planks of soft wood for the framing.
1 truck of granite (granite would be use for the wall foundation and columns or pillars )
90 tons of Sharp Sand or dagbolu.
Let me know if this help m

prezidob: I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. Honestly he's such a sweet guy and every lady's dream man. We're both course mates in the same university. We love each other and have pledged to get married after graduation. I'm a very beautiful lady as there's no day gone by without a toaster.
Because of financial difficulties, I took a job in a club as a waitress and recently, secretary to my boss... combining both work. I go to meeting with my boss to plan for the organisation of the club and I do come late and sometimes I sleep over.
My boyfriend reprimanded me for late nights and I told him that he's not my father and should not try to control me. He is so jealous!! But the truth is he doesn't hide anything from me. Throughout the lockdown he was there for me.
I don't like the work but it's the only way to get by since my parents are not helping and my boyfriend is a student too.
How do I convince him that I love him and I will not cheat on him?
He doesn't want me to do the work neither do I. But we can't help it.
Please your opinion matters a lot to me as it will help me manage my situation. I don't want to lose him.
But you are the same "brother" who was screaming about 1 million boys in 2020? Lol
RedAbaya: Use 1.5 m to setup a business you can make 300k monthly. Don't go and start from scratch abroad. If na to gather women to fry groundnut, bottle am supply to supermarkets pay them daily wages like 1500 a day, it's something
Let's end this abroad trip thing abeg
Go through the travel section here and read. Don't call anyone claiming to be an agent or else you will just give your money to scammers.
There are several threads opened for each country's travel requirement and warning you on things to look out for with fraudsters.
Go to youtube. Many Nigerian immigrants have done videos about the process. Dubai seems like a good option with the money you have but make sure you do your investigations well before dropping money.

That boy is a S0ci0path. They are the kings of the incel and red pill communities. He will either grow up into a full time rapist/ murderer or he will create a YouTube channel to fleece the foolish one's.
mrphysics: Hey bro. Sorry I haven't been on nairaland lately.
Well, buyers have 15 days after order completion to l leave a review after which they won't have the option of leaving any review. And like someone already said, you don't need to push him for the review.
You should also be careful and to deliver quality services. Because, buyers have two review options. One that will be made public and the one for Fiverr backend Algorithm/support. The latter is secret and affects your ranking. So it's possible for a client to give you 5 stars publicly and behind your back, he will drop a 1 star review.
When delivering your order, ask buyer to come back to you should they need have any modification request. Else, they should go ahead and mark the order as completed AND LEAVE A REVIEW OF THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH YOU. Tell them that this review will help other buyers make informed decision.
The above is what I add to my order delivery message or once an order is completed, I will go to inbox and thank the guy for marking the order as completed, I will also remind him to please leave a review of his experience with my services as it will guide other buyers.
khadaffi: Having 4 PHd is not a positive achievement as that. Though we might value him well in Nigeria but not as that in the well developed society. It shows he lacks focus and doesn't really knows what he wants. Moreso it also gives the impression that he is a permanent student. After this degree he is likely to start another degree.
Same thing I thought about although I think he still a genius in a way to be able to memorize all those things.
I guess he loves learning in a structured environment where rules apply.
I hope we get to celebrate more Nigerians/ black people actually creating things not just getting certificates. White people don't celebrate these things again.
hafsatadebisi: When I asked him of his moniker, he first said is that necessary, before he then gave me the moniker. And after that incident, I do come to nairaland and quote him asking/ telling him about what he did, but he'll just ignore me, and refuse to answer. It was just today that he replied me, maybe he's forgotten I was the one because it's been up to two weeks we made the transactions. It was when he replied this night that I now decided to go further. And someone else has even come out to say that he was also duped, and it's the same person.
Oga, if it's true create a new thread post the phone number and the bank names from the other guys post. When it gets to front, page you'll get help.
abatically: This is the same plan I use. But there's a twist, the bonus 12gb expires after 4 days while the base 12gb is for 1 month. The whole thing no dey even last me pass 10 days. Though when I want to download I just do 2.5gb for 500
You mean the 12gb bonus is programmed to last for only 4 days?
IBvoss: Stay faithful to MTN. Not only do they have the fastest download speeds I've seen amongst the popular Nigerian networks, but their data plans are also very nice.
Not all devices are eligible for this offer and I don't know how you can qualify, but those who do can enjoy can special offers through #121#
For Special Data Offers, you can get
1. 2GB for 500 (2.5 GB if use subscribe through MTN APP)
2. 100% bonus on their 3000 for 12GB plan which gives u double the data, i.e 12GB + 12GB = 24GB for 3000N
3. 100% bonus on their 5000 for 20GB plan which gives u double the data, i.e 20GB + 20GB = 40GB for 5000N
To make it even sweeter, MTN is currently offering a 200% bonus (Three times the data!) on any of their data plans from 500 - 5000N. If you get the text from MTN, you're qualified.
Though, I think this is only available to those who already qualified for the *121# offers. This is what I've been using from the past month. With 3000N, I got 36GB and with 5000N, I got 60GB(currently using).
Does the double and triple data thingy still work?
brimdans: I would have loved to remain anonymous, but what's the point?
My problem is I'm a jobless graduate, who works for a friend. This friend I work for, doesn't even pay, he just gives me stipends after every work I do. It's a laundry work. He owns the shop, so he's in charge of everything in the shop including, collections of money and all. My work is just to work. I do virtually everything in the shop.
My problem is this guy almost all the time collects the money and doesn't even give me my share. The only time I see my share is when the I'm around when the monies are given to him.
I'm hooked because I mostly feed in there house, because the shop is just within the house. I tried to get a good job, but nothing is forth coming. I even tried applying for casual jobs, still no luck.
I'm currently in a dilemma because my parents are tired of me staying in there house, so currently I sleep in the shop, and it's not even conducive, but that's the only option I have.
I tried contacting my relatives in Lagos if I could go and make a living there, but they aren't really interested me coming.
Please I kindly need advise and help, because I'm heading towards depression.
I'm actually 30 years old. With nothing to show for, except "I'm a graduate" tag.
Can you go from house to house and ask them if you can wash their clothes for a fee? You use their water, soap and dry it in their house while they pay you less than they would have paid your dry cleaner friend. You could also wash in your house too.
Some graduates write their qualifications and email on cardboard, dress well, stand between a busy road and hold it. It could land on popular blogs and several people will definitely reach out to you.
Muna4real: What do you think about this guys? How can a guy end a relationship ( he initiated the break up) but still sends money (without asking) and shows concern? It just looks like he's an elder brother, or still in a relationship without seeing each other. When asked why he still cares,he says" that how I am. I'm just naturally caring)
I don't understand. Is there a hidden motive? As I type, he's planning a Gift for my birthday. I no send am message oh!
Guilty conscience. You said he called off the relationship. He might have not been so into you but "he feels" you were good to him.
On your part there are two reason you see this as abnormal to bring it here:
1. You've never been around people with strong internal moral code to know people do things because it's a part of their value system not because that's how everyone is or that they have an ulterior motive.
2. You weren't so good and his perception of you isn't who you really are. You know in your heart you don't deserve the kindness.
Stop listening to anyone talking about sex. While a large percentage of men use money to lure women to have sex with them, not all men are controlled by their private parts.
Ibadanpikin: I am a 31 year old man i have never been in a relationship with any lady talkless of sex. I stammered a litttle bit so i find it very hard to toast a lady. Any time i try talking to a girl i begin to stammer and my heart beats fast, its so embarrassing, some of my friends think i am impotent or gay. How will i marry, guys how do u do it?
Harvard created this certification program so money miss road from around the world, especially from Africa, can apply and enrich Harvards's purse.
There is no difference between this nonsense they pay thousands of dollars for and the leadership program i got in my first year in school at a 4 week seminar. In fact that one was life changing and completely free.
