I can imagine Ayomide's mentions. Make I go read the replies sef.

Well, such is life - women being hypergamous as they've always been. Young men should just focus on their craft and health. Nothing else. As I told Tensazangetsu20, a significant proportion of Nigerians who japa'd in recent years will be single for eternity aka no husbands or wives.

Anybody that thinks Nigeria will get better.. is an idiot

Because Ukraine cannot defeat Russia? 🤣🤣🤣

Why not get enlisted into the Ukrainian army since you love them (Ukrainians) so much?

pansophist:
Anybody that genuinely believes Ukraine can win Russia is an idiot. No weapon that is given to Ukraine will make them victorious against Russia.

Besides, Russia has nukes. If Russia reached the realisation that they are loosing, then they nuke everything and send humanity to extinction.

Zelensky is an idiot.

Bros, there are MILLIONS of people who hold staunchly to that belief. I want to see them cry in sifia pains when this is all over. They believe Ukraine would defeat Russia! Dunderheads everywhere!

zuby4real10:
This trump is too arrogant. Imagine telling another country's president to shut up, without us u r nobody. That's disrespect to not only zelinsky but to the whole Ukraine as a country.

That's the fate of poorer countries. You think he can talk to China in such a manner?

This is what I signed up for!!!!!

Probably sold the house they had in Lekki only to domicile in a place where the sun doesn't shine, which is mentally draining on someone who was born and bred in tropical West Africa.

As I've written on Nairaland, what Lagos needs are the following:

- Construct taller buildings. Enact a law mandating at least ten stories tall residential buildings in most areas of the state. Lagos is one of the few most populous mega cities globally that has fewer tall buildings.

- Extend railway lines to Ogun. Lagos needs to be decongested during the weekends. It should only be filled during weekdays. To enable this happen, extend railway/metro lines to Ogun and Oyo. When this has been done, implement congestion taxes priced at certain times in most parts of the state.

- Government has to invest massively in public housing using the first recommendation as the initiatior.

The talk about regulating rents is baseless as there is no place in the world where rents are regulated and there was a corresponding reduction in rents. Nevertheless, Lagos' rents will remain the highest in West Africa because it's Nigeria's most populous yet smallest and at the the same time the wealthiest state.

Another fairytale. Never existed. Although well written than the useless AI aka chaptgpt write-ups I've come across.

I swear, as a man, if you are always quick to disregard women when they tell you these things, you would barely even understand that there is a difference world where people are making it very big… women naturally have more exposure, a woman is telling you 10m is small money, you are angry at her but she’s seen things that has put her on that level. Network with her and try to see things the way she sees things first before you disregard. Babe @turmacs 3m per month is a lot of money to me right now but I have seen people spend it on a club ticket, I pray GOD grants us the knowledge to know how to earn more than that o…I open to learning and also networking, I would appreciate we keep in touch

Two things to note:

As a young man, no dey compare yourself to a woman of your age range.

As a human being, no dey put eye for another person money.

Racoon:
These kinds of sensitive information should not be in public domain. It has a lots of implications

Salaries should not be made public? Why are you people like this?

You are people lucky I have not started what I intend to. When I do, EVERY Nigerian will know the entire salary structure in almost every organisation, private and public, in the country.

ponlear:
Still not good enough!!
Here’s why:
In 2014 I was an entry level (Management Trainee) staff in one of the commercial banks in Nigeria, I earned 168k per month. USD was N152/$ = I earned $1,105 per month

In 2025 (11 years later) the same graduate trainee will earn N528k per month. USD is N1500/$ = you’d earn $352 per monthFor clarity:
A bag of rice in 2014 was 9k, I can buy 18bags and still have change A bag of rice in 2025 is 80k, you can only buy 6bags and have some change leftSo you’ll be the judge to tell if it is good enough or not

Not only a Nigerian thing. Salaries have not kept up with rising living costs in most parts of the world.

hector:
Very poor for a job that doesn’t give you time to do anything aside from being locked inside a hall from Monday to Sunday counting money and staring into a computer screen for hours.

You write assignments for a living. Do you intend to keep writing assignments till your old age? Can you use your assignment writing skills to get a job in a corporate organisation in the next four years? What kind of network have you built over the years while writing these assignments? Can a stranger loan you money for a business based on your assignments write ups? Do you know how structured organisations work? Have you ever built a real (offline) business before, and ensured systems are put in place?

Hopefully, you see why people work in structured organisations immediately after school, our dear assignment writer.

turmacs:
Rubbish. If most of them know how much some of those Instagram and TikTok baddies dey earn a night, them go leave all this rubbish and become serious with their life. Woman go fine finish from up to down, come dey work for bank from 9-5, because of 3m per month and AC, God forbid. E get the kind men wey you go dey with sef from that 9-5 for just one day, na GLE 43 AMG dem go buy for you sef.

People shouldn't work and build a career for themselves again? How many men dey offer GLE 43 AMG to women everyday in Nigeria? How many of such men dey Nigeria? The few wey dey na for Lagos, Abuja and maybe Port-harcourt dem dey. So wetin girl for Gombe or Cross River go do when she graduate from university?

Make una dey realistic for una comments o

How can a country grow without a steady power supply

Constant electricity is rocket science to so-called Nigerian intellectwats and elites.

pansophist:
Nigeria is too hot.

Nigeria does not have a good weather. The humidity is too damn hot, and just make one look so rough and tattered.

If you dress clean, and do not have an AC car, then proceed to use the public transportation to you destination, you wont smell good.

The smoke, dust, humidity, sweat and scorching sun are dangerous cocktails of abuse to your body, that you will end up smelling weird, even with deodorant.

Skin care in Nigeria is not about rubbing, washing, and applying one creme or the other, but to do your utmost best and avoid the sun, and be strategic on when you go out. If anyone just leave Nigeria like this, they will just be looking fresh and smooth, even ordinary South Africa here, simply because West Africa in general do not have a good weather. Have you seen Ghanians? lol

Something in the middle is good enough. But I prefer West Africa's weather to living in a snow filled area. The effects you listed have more to do with poor infrastructure - constant electricity, tarred roads, tight environmental laws to mitigate against pollution etc - rather than the weather itself.

abobote:
Bigmen area with so many empty big houses

Ah! No one lives in them or probably they've fewer residents in them?

Isn't Guzape an emerging elite part of Abuja? So person go use all him money buy house for where kidnappers run amok?

These are the issues...

Many countries have a similar program, so Trump's proposed changes isn't a new deal. Singapore increased the minimum for investors who desire to invest in the country in exchange for a pathway to become permanent residents. This was done after many Mainland Chinese business people had applied for the program. Previously S$2.5M as the minimum across all categories. It is now S$10M. Expectedly, many Mainland Chinese business people lamented about the sudden hike.

Focusmind:
Transaction man - everything to Trump is business and deal. Good thinking. Expect to see wealthy men and their families from Middle East, Russia, China and Far East scrambles for the visa. This visa category used to be in the region of $300k to $500k, which lots of Nigeria CEOs obtained the US passports with

I know a business man that did that and I asked him why and he said he needed the US passport to avoid requesting for visa on each time he needed to travel to Europe, US and many other country. The mobility that the US passport offers is second to none.

Funny enough, it costs CAD$1M to invest in Canada and obtain its passport as well. At the same time, the individual must have a networth of CAD$2M.

AfroKnight:
Those who can afford this don’t NEED a US citizenship for a better life.

They only need to go to a smaller country with more favourable tax laws and visa-free entry to the US.

The catch is they can make much more money by becoming Americans.

Making things harder for Nigerian political elites who now opt for the Grenadian route. There is one who goes to Grenada every Oro Market Day.

Tightpussy2024:
Oh please spare me the rhetoric of equating women right to be treated humanely and giving same respect and dignity as should a man to wanting to "feel good".

When slaves cry out for justice we acknowledge the humanity in slaves and see their freedom as a moral right. When blacks or minorities cry foul about racism ,we acknowledge their plight and know it's a moral upright thing to do. But when it's women,you play the card "truth doesn't care about our feelings", you don't believe men can do women wrong or women can be given the bad piece of the pie by virtue of being women,but that we just are butt-hurt by reality. News will flood the frontpage of men raping minors,hiding their marital status from a single woman and wasting her time for years,uploading their gf videos to porn sites without their consent etc. If you bring 4 women,2 will have a tale to tell about men . Iyabo ojo was raped 5 times, toke Makinwa ex husband refused to impregnant her and she is childless till date( he will pull out during sex) but impregnated his ex and told her to keep the baby

That is terrible o. I feel for her.

A decently dressed Muslim woman who may even be a virgin was butchered when she visited her fiance that is an imam.i guess we will hold her accountable for visiting her fiance!

I have always stated that rapists should be thoroughly dealt with as long as irrefutable evidence is available.

Monkey face emmaodet,an adulterer tomorrow will be preaching to women not minding the damage he has created in the dating scene. Ask both him and pant-sophist if they have ever told a man to not play women .

This is the second time you are calling this gentleman ugly. Una don see face-to-face?

_{I never knew there could be someone more uglier than I am.}

Seems everyone is scared of preaching to men because even in churches pastors will rather preach on indecent dressing of women than mention men faithfulness to their wives.

I agree with you here. Many men especially in religious circles find it hard to admonish men as hard as they do to women. But then, na women full these churches and revere these men greater than most men do. Maybe modern day women should gradually detach themselves from religious chains.

So all these pent up anger in men you described why should we acknowledge men pain and struggles yet downplay women's plight as their own making or poor choices? Why should anybody bother themselves with men issues? Do men fix problems in women they didn't create? Reminds me of how men will complain it's men drafted for war. Men,in their ego,will start war and ignore the voice of peace and reason, and feel they are dispensable by society because women werent dragged to fight a war started by men!

I also agree with you here. The Russian-Ukrainian war made me realised everything.

We will be here watching out how it plays out in the end.
For all I know women are better adapters than men. An unmarried woman in her 30s can find peace by getting pregnant and taking care of her child as consolation and will never feel lonely. This is how widows and single moms have coped. I can't say same for men,having a child to console you in your old age is the privilege of a high earning men(of which many aren't).
Or women will turn to lebanism,most lesbians are made not born,and find peace in it,I can't say same for men,most gays are born ,not made.

Las las,una go turn to alcoholism.

You did make a whole lot of sense in your post. It is actually good to see things from the other side. Both parties have to improve for the greater good of humanity. As for the bold, I also agree. It is easier for women to engage in such than men. Many men cannot cope with caring for toddlers all alone. Na just the Nigerian economy. As I have stated here, should we become as prosperous as Malaysia or South Korea, many Nigerian women no go wan marry. This might be gradually taking form in Lagos (island), but I don't know to the extent.

At the end of the day, we are social animals. So, it will be interesting to see how this new trend evolves.

Bobloco:
There you go again, throwing up the religious card, while supporting an ethnic and tribal bigot like Tinubu, who ran on a Muslim-Muslim ticket in a religiously diverse country like Nigeria and even went as far as hiring fake pastors and clergymen to endorse his same-faith ticket.

Thanks for the reminder. APC really did a mess on Nigerians' so-called intelligence. But El-Rufai and Omateseye aren't better off. BTW, both men supported Tinubu to become the president. They should solve their issues.

Some of you just want to talk so that it won't look as if you didn't say anything even if you have no knowledge about what is going on.

Even here before a poor man enters a rich man's house, you go explain tire at the gate
All this mentioned countries citizens won't migrate to America because they have same or even more safe country.
If you are not comfortable with it,make your country great like America. But they should start deporting or refusing visas to the official of those countries not mentioned here. Though Trump as a business man would like you bring in that looted fund

That's the genesis of visa access. No rich person would grant easy access into his abode to a poor person. That's how it has been. Ignorant and arrogant Nigerians believe otherwise yet they restrict their poorer relatives access to their homes.

seunmsg:
Gradually. If the current MAGA leadership is sustained for another 20 years, the percentage of blacks in America will drop significantly to less than 25%.

Blacks constitute less than 15% of the US population.

Agugbadin:
Not true,the reason why some countries are excluded is because many of their citizens travel there and overstayed, Nigeria been one the culprits is excluded from the list.

Trust ignorant Nigerians to yap anyhow. They say it's based on racism yet Qatar is included while Uruguay is excluded. Are Qataris whiter than Uruguayans? It's wealth. What about Brunei?

The same hypocrites lamenting closed access are the same people who chant that non-indigenes residing in their states should go back to where they come from. Imagine a poor raggard Nigerian accusing Americans of discrimination?

Nnamdipapa:
Our goal should be to stand proud as blacks, as Africans and, Nigerians, to build our country and make it a place others always want to visit. You don't really understand the resources and opportunities we have to succeed as Nigerians.

US is overrated and I will even go out of my way to avoid any European country the next 5 years. We don't need any fvucking visa waivers as Nigerians.

We are smart and educated and, we always qualify for any immigration programs in the world.

Fvuck Trump and fvuck his visa waiver.

Good! Hopefully we see more of this mentality rather than the mentality that White Americans owe us access to the US.

seunmsg:
The goal is to make America white again. Trump and his sidekick, Elon Musk are the new white supremacist leaders. They don’t want you blacks in their country. But as usual, low IQ Nigerians will come here and blame this on Tinubu. They just don’t get anything.

Qataris aren't white people 🤷🏿‍♂️

Visa free access is based on economic prosperity. The wealthier a country is, the likelihood of the citizens being offered visa free access. A visa is a privilege not a right.

What an elder sees sitting down, a child will not see it even if he stands on an Iroko tree"

Nearly all the Zimbabwe farmers that came to Nigeria.....

During the Saraki regime closed up and relocated back to their country...

All the Songhai Farms in the six geopolitical zones have closed up...

These are multi million projects ...with State Government backings and private investors...

All of them gone .. without no positive return..

D Lagos farm was a complete failure....

While Dangote has to take over the one for Katsina from the State Govt to reduce the shame...

I wish you well

Bros, the founder of the firm is pictured there. He's a dollar billionaire! This is no joke. JBS is in town

Ogun state already has one of the biggest piggery hubs in the country. With this investment by JBS - an agribusiness giant - the industry will boom! The associated industries from this singular investment will be massive. Then add the ever growing Chinese population in the state.

Damn! It really looks good!
