The situation compounded over years and blaming the current administration of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) would be baseless. With the current direction our great country is moving towards. CONTINUITY is all that is required to affirm and guarantee growth.
Why I am proposing that the senate grant a 16 year term to His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

Studying models of country have made tremendous progress in short period of time, we cannot deny the the fact that the had consistent or fixed administration that shared common goals.

lol

Tinubu supported, campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. Tinubu promised to continue from where Buhari stopped. Buhari has been historically incompetent right from birth! His records are there for all to read.

The bold is very disturbing.

though not in nigeria but due to the numerous billings i've gotten countless times, here is my contribution based on what i see from those living in nigeria and all

In Lagos, you need minimum of N700,000 as a single guy to have access to basic things in life, and just forget about car for now, you would hardly be able to afford a car on that salary

as a married man, 1.2m and above monthly with 2 kids max to live just a basic and okay life, might struggle with that, but you can definitely make it work, again forget about buying a car on that paycheck won't work

Nigeria is really difficult and not so easy to navigate.

it baffles me how people survive on less than 500k a month, honestly with all humility and sincerity cant do the maths, have done it severally and my books dont balance, hence why i totally understand the frustrations that lots of nigerians face from the government in power,

just sad, work so hard but earn so little

Living in Lagos is prohibitively expensive. There are many people who cannot cut it and those people should leave to other states where their earnings go farther.

It's why the insecurity in the north annoys me. The north should have been an abode for many who find the south too competitive and expensive.

Raalsalghul:
One tip off the top of my head that'll take that money far in Nigeria is avoid Lagos for starters.

They won't! All want to kpai themselves in Lagos. One came on IG lamenting how her 40m naira went nowhere in Lagos. Whereas there are states and businesses that money can be deployed into, build up the enterprise to generate funds which can provide a comfortable lifestyle in Lagos.

But nah, Lagos or nothing!

stagger:
How men can still be considering the bolded is truly beyond me. How much is an outing? How much is venue? How much is the afters? How many times a month will you run this racket?

They still do o. Inasmuch as I'm pro-sex, womanising is a rich man's sport. My lecturer in school laments how much he spends per outing with his side chick. Dude has triplets!

Sha, he too wants to japa. I really respect, but don't envy, married men in Nigeria. So many responsibilities

Princedapace:
Living comfortable means the following:

Access to unlimited and stable internet
Access to water
Access to quality healthcare
Access to healthy meals (this cost a lot o)
If u have kids (how many kids)
Where u live (two to three bedrooms now are mostly 1.5m to 4m per year in most of main cities) and even more
Access to 24/7 electricity
Access to car (one or two)
Access to one vacation once per year (locally or internally)

U deserve all these and more as a citizen of an oil, gas, abundant water, abundant lands, lithium, gold, silver, etc country.
To live comfortably means to have acces to the listed above and more. U need 4m and above income per month to be able to live this and still save a little.
This is why their tax threshold is funny to me because I know what we earn and how that has been difficult. Their tax threshold should have been 50m yearly for income tax. Then above that should pay 5 percent.
hear the truth, if u earn less say 30m per year, u are in a poor country, so u surely will have older parents to care for, siblings, friends, spouse, etc. Most likely u will have one or two externer heads to look out for. My married sis is on my neck for help now as she and her husband have had terrible years financially. U see what I am saying? So, Tinubu is actually designed to ensure we live low quality life so we can fund their own high quality life.

Mr IbeOkehie,

You have something to see here.

concho:

In the days before the change of government, I was a man at ease and a man of means

Each month, I received eight hundred thousand naira after my tasks were done. It was sufficient for my household, for my wife, and even for Fatima my secrete mistress ; one whose laughter brought me secret joy. Life, though not extravagant, but was comfortable.

But when the times changed, so did my fortune.

Now I earn one million naira each month, yet it no longer carries the strength it once did. What once fed many can barely satisfy two. Before the fourth week arrives, my wife’s face tightens, for her kitchen grows empty.

Of all that I have lost to this administration and inflation, none pains me like Fatima, the rare gift that Lagos once placed in my path. Her beauty was such that even the strongest of men would falter before it. And now, as my purse has grown light, so too has her presence vanished from my life.

My burdens have multiplied.

My mother brings forth her needs like an unending stream, and I find myself unable to meet them as before. My in laws, who once looked upon me with respect, now see me as a man whose hands have weakened, for the small support I once sent has been swallowed by rising costs.

Even in the house of worship, my place has diminished. The pastor who once greeted me with honor now scarcely turns his gaze toward me, for my tithe no longer speaks loudly in his ears.

In my village, where I was once celebrated and given the title of Ogbuefi, there are whispers. I no longer visit as I once did, nor do I bring gifts of cattle. And so, the honor that was given in days of abundance now trembles in days of scarcity.

Thus I ask you my friends ,

Can a man truly live in comfort in these times, when his earnings rise, yet his needs unending ?

No my friends , no my friends

Thank you for the write-up. It is very relatable to many men and I find it very interesting..

Interesting and revealing thread. No wonder one lady tweeted that rich people in Nigeria look so stressed and she wondered if they are enjoying their money at all.

Truly, the majority of Nigerians are suffering because outside of Lagos, Abuja and partly Port-harcourt, salaries are very low. Then add: the naira devaluation, removal of fuel subsidy and the current fuel increment due to war in the Middle East.

A lot of people are keeping up with appearances. A lot of Nigerians cannot afford luxury goods/items as their earnings are prioritised for the basics. A lot of Nigerians don't eat nutritiously.

Well, nothing surprising as the same Nigerians campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. Now, we see why many japa. Their earnings cannot sustain their living standards.

See why it's extremely important to have fewer children? See why many Nigerian men should undergo vasectomy. There's nothing I've not stated as far back as 2016!

There are many factors to be considered:

- Are they married?
- What economic class does the person belong to after say university education?
- Which state does the person reside? What city?
- For married people how many children do they have?
- What does the person do for a living?
- Is the person a tenant or own his/her property? Let's assume the person is a tenant.

Too many factors...but maybe we can start with the tax categories as outlined in Tinubu's new tax laws. You know, 50m naira and above pay the highest tax band. 🙄

pocohantas:
I wonder why they are so pained and threatening her. If she marries an old man, they will still say she married him for money and she cannot build with her first love.

Nawa o😂😂😂

Nothing surprising.

I remember a BBC article (see below) about dating amongst Muslims in the West. Black African Muslims complained about the racism where Muslims from Arab countries and Southeast Asia do not accept their proposals or show interests in them. I think the article showed how it was worse for Black African Muslim ladies.

In my mind, I was like "ah, the White man isn't bad after all".

He wrote a thoughtful post. The issue with you APC supporters is you people believe that you can never be wrong. APC has ruined the Nigerian economy in the past decade. That's an undeniable fact.

WIKE the tiger of the Niger delta and the lion of PDP. Makinde next time shine your eyes and know you mate in politics. WIKE is far greater than you politically. Meanwhile Natasha behave yourself WIKE is not apkabio

You people praised Amaechi with the same tag - "Lion of Ubima". Today, the dude lives more in Abuja than Port-harcourt.

Politicians from the Old Eastern region never learn from Nigeria's history. Like Odili, like Nwajiuba, like Ogbonnya Onu, like Amaechi, like Okorocha and many more.

seppuku:
Any Nigerian who invests anything in SA is taking a big risk with his investment. Sooner or later they will confiscate his success and transfer the wealth to their people.

Maybe because he's way too popular in South Africa. A Nigerian based elsewhere can purchase real estate via his company's name.

Goke7:
This SA sports minister is just a clown, always trying to make a living by attacking Nigerians

You see why Nigerians must stop castigating their own country before the entire world? We are the ones giving folks like this minister who can’t lace the shoes of many of local govt councillors mouth to rain insults on us. Honestly I don’t blame him much

The minister is actually being soft considering Nigerians have voiced the deportation of other Nigerians within Nigeria as far back as 2014.

As you said, I don't blame the minister.

Precious201010:
But the place was opened for everyone to participate in the bidding na....na bad bele dey worry them.... I followed the news from day one..... They sold over 29 different properties belonging to the government...

People from the middle east bought over 70 percent of those properties... They are just pained because the man is a Nigerian.

Interesting..

To have an elected official voice such words, it means there's a deep h@tred/dislike for Nigerians of all economic groups in South Africa.

Goldbw122:
This IELTS exam, is really hard, I saw a testimony when someone wrote it 7 times and passed it the 7th time.. na wa.. well it is really a journey.

Define "pass" here. What was the minimum requirement for the program the person applied to? I have written both IELTS and TOEFL. It depends on the program and the country to which it applies. Japanese universities have pretty lax IELTS minimum requirements because the majority of applicants/students are Asians whose first language isn't English. A Nigerian should score higher.

Tunde ednut and Isaac fayose has taken to there social media page to mock tinubu and his politics of rice for vote.

The duo both commented on Tunde ednut page after the biggest blogger in Nigeria posted a video of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso in a rally in Kano which was very massive .

If I apply and get a Japanese visit visa from another country that I have their resident permit. Is it possible to apply for work permit inside Japan when I secure a COE?
Even though my passport says I’m Nigerian.

No. To obtain a residency permit so you can perform the work you got in Japan, you need a COE. A COE must be applied for while outside Japan and received in your country of residence. It is then exchanged at the airport when you come in. Being a tourist in Japan does not equate to being able to apply for a COE. Applicants cannot apply for a COE; an organisation does, gets the COE and sends it to the applicant to apply for a visa.

A tourist visa cannot be exchanged for a work permit. A COE is mandatory for that purpose. Without a residence work card, aka Zairyu card, you cannot work in Japan.

masterfactor:
Dude, I stayed in the East for good 5 years, I can tell you what you wrote up there is what your ladies over there are known for, do we want to talk about how they look beautiful physically, but when you go down there, what you see is enough to make you tremble. I would have say it the way it is but because of been ban. I rest my case.

Suffice to say, many Nigerians aren't that clean. Constant heat without adequate bathing worsens things. Imagine living in Enugu where water is rationed?!

SIRTee15:
first thing u need to realize and acknowledge is women are hypergamous in nature. women at the same status as yourself will desire a man above your level. women above your status - financial or career or accomplishment wise will not want u bocs u are beneath them.
women below your status will naturally gravitate towards u by default. That how the dating game works.

I remembered when I stated that women's hypergamy is one of the major reasons men work hard to make money, dem nearly chew me raw for this forum.

Now, do u have the time, resources and energy to prove yourself to women above your economic and social status that u will make a good husband and they wont regret picking u?
do u have the what it takes to compete with other men for women at the same level as your socio-economic status and make them look your direction or u just go for the easy pick- ones below u?

what u need to ask yourself is what do I want in a woman I want to marry? do u want a well domesticated lady or a beautifully endowed woman or goal/career oriented woman or u looking for a woman that will give u peace of mind. what about personality- whats your preference? Lively, feminine or quiet type or u want a serious lady as wife/ do u want a socialite as a wife or more of family oriented wife.
are u looking into 50-50 wife or u prefer absolute submission and loyalty.

Look here, at the end of it all, what count is the kind of woman u will be compatible with. forget all these high flying babes, what matter is if I marry her, will I enjoy my marriage? No need marrying a woman that will end up causing u troubles and all u do is fight all day. such negative energy drains u.

There's nothing as beautiful as an enjoyable marriage. The stability and happiness it brings is unmatched. A woman that will give u that should be your preference.

Good post!

What do you mean, Northern girls that's loose and cheap, kaduna, nasarawa, plateU, jos,,, omo those ones bad, infections everywhere don't advice any man from east to marry from northern states, biko

Please expand on this, biko. I chatted with a Nairalander (Igbo) via Twitter and na there him wan go marry. He said our girls too like feminism

Yoruba calls it Oja Okunkun, meanwhile dark market, Na you go take touch light go the market , and keep searching until you get what you want. Meanwhile that doesn't mean what you get will be 100% perfect, Na manage you go manage am.
Also take note that ladies are typically hypergamous and For GEN Z they are woke, even Deeper Life girls don tear eyes
Na you go up your game

I can imagine!

The day girls for Deeper Life, Mountain of Life and the Lord's Chosen tear eyes, then it is finished! Imagine those at Christ Embassy, HOTR, CCI etc?

“Where are Tinubu’s MOUs tied to agricultural and livestock production in the North, industrial development in the Southeast, and oil and gas development in the South-South? None!

There are agricultural and livestock MOUs tied to northern Nigeria. But yes, nothing for the southeast and south south. Rather a gas pipe is being planned from the Niger Delta to Ogun for industrialisation.

“Secondly, no president in Nigeria’s history has divided the country and its people along regional and ethnic lines the way this administration has done

Welcome to Nigeria, a country of many ethnic nations. Nothing new.

Anything for content.

That list does not exist.

Otti, a former bank CEO and now governor, is better than a Ford Foundation sponsored cashtivist who campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015.

Udom Emmanuel worked for PwC and later became governor of Akwa Ibom
Soludo was former CBN governor and now a governor/

Person wey my friend tell me say she earns in £. That chick isn't going to live in gridlocked Apapa. Alakija is

With the prices and comments here, I can wager that Lagos has the country's lowest fertility rate.

Well, to alleviate the rent pains, pretty simple solutions:

- Allow for the importation of cement
- Lagos needs to build up
- Reduce construction levies and land charges
- Metro lines to Ogun and Oyo
- Other states need to be more productive to attract businesses and young people

Companies can assist employees with fully paid transport fare.

Gbagada cost o.

Nigeria had never been a tourist center like that so nobody should sat it's this administration. It's recently that it's beginning to make lil moves like detty December and so.

Nigerians in the abroad, not majorly foreigners. The "tourists" who visit Nigeria are Nigerians. More foreigners visit Gambia than Nigeria.
