Dont hate ur Nigerian people.
The Naira devaluation caused a lot of issues.
People (mostly 2 years program) planned their expenses at 560. Even large percentage of September intake got their admission, CAS before naira devaluation But now exchange rate is 1900.

Even me self I say kpatakpata if I no fit push am I go sell my land clear fee. But by the time I sold the land 6 million last year December, changed the money I got less than 3500 pounds on a normal exchange rate May I fit get 10k pounds. This was land I placed on sell May

Everyone has a peculiar story that unless u put ur leg in such shoes u won't really understand.

So the English language is how they want to measure people’s level of intelligence. After studying in English and passing a course taught in English, migrants now have to go through another level of scrutiny. Bruuhhh make them cancel the visa make we rest.

yemmit90:
If you like, keep calling someone that save upto $2k monthly a slave. I don't need to argue with because I was once like you who believe in such crap. Ask someone who went their on legit visa, expecially a responsible single person and ask him how much he was able to save monthly. 90% of those building structures or buying properties in Nigeria this days are abroad base guys.

Don't know much about UK but you see US, Australia and Switzerland, I can authoritatively tell you that guys are saving double of your MD salary per month in Nigeria. Even the poor UK we are talking about, people are still making cool money better than when they were in Nigeria. The reality is that, Nigerians will never tell you how much they make or save, except you are so dear to them or very rich at home yourself.

yemmit90:
That is not true my friend, an average legit immigrant on minimum wage abroad is 1000% better than legit MD in Nigeria. Majority of our people are suffering because of illegal ways they took to get there.

Special thanks to Treadway!

I hold nothing against OP's thread or his relocation. His choice, which I respect. However, I refuse to hold the notion that a toilet cleaner in Australia lives a better life than a permanent staff banker in Nigeria. The other day, Nairalanders argued that being a skyscraper cleaner in the UK is better than a bank manager in Nigeria. That is totally nonsensical! I don't look at earnings conversion as they are pointless, but professions and standard of living.

Anyone can decide to move from being a doctor to cleaner in the abroad, no problem. But don't come online to state that someone flourishing in his/her career in Nigeria is worse than the cleaner in the abroad. It does not follow. As I argue, you compare oranges to oranges, not oranges to apples. Compare the cleaner in the abroad to a cleaner in Nigeria, NOT a cleaner in the abroad to a career professional in Nigeria. A truck pusher in Nigeria who moves to become a cleaner in the abroad has won the lottery and improved. However, a seasoned professional who does the same has not done well.

We have to be honest in what we say.

folake4u:
Lmao. Nor be small gist be this one.

I'm actually surprised that you didn't know Tunde had dated before oh.

He dated that Igbo travel blogger babe, Alma Asinobi. They looked good together sha, were always traveling to countries together, he'd play the piano for her and she'd sing. I heard they broke up. I don't know what went wrong.

When he won this Guinness World Record, some of his fans went to her page to troll her that she didn't congratulate him on his victory.
Nigerians and amebo, but I'm glad she ignored all those nasty comments.

Oh well. Everybody with their own oh. Same way some ladies throw themselves at him is also the same way some guys will even sniff the pants of Ayra Starr if they have the chance.

It's very likely that the passenger who died was not wearing his seat belt and possibly broke his neck due to the impact when the encountered the turbulence

BigkokoRep:
Not dish you bruhnnn....but hope your parents are not those who destroy the country and used the Commonwealth to secure their children, like that babe whose dad is a present gov?

pansophist:
Ask them (your parents) if they are open for adoption. I fit supply adult wey need a to be adopted lol

He continued: “I see a tremendous number of divorces when husband and wife are both working and the husband loses his job… it sends them spiralling into a depression.

"They’ve lost this job and it’s of how they define themselves in the traditional masculine gender role – a provider and a protector.”

James continued: “I’ve seen a lot of women that when their spouse loses the job and they become the breadwinner, they find that very unappealing.” While women are happy with a husband who is a breadwinner, or even an economic equal, James believes the idea of looking after a man financially is very “uncomfortable” for a lot of wives. He added: “I would love it if they kept statistics on these kinds of things but I can tell you in my practice I've seen plenty of women lose their jobs, and it has no impact on the marriage. When men lose their job in a heterosexual male-female marriage it has disastrous consequences a great deal of the time.

yemmit90:
It is not all about our leaders but entire black race. An average black man is highly selfish, egocentric and lacks virtues. He is narrow minded human with uncontrollable huge to dominate and enslave his brothers. He always want to be worshiped, and subject his brothers to perpetual fear and poverty. Having possessed this innate unwarranted selfish desire, the only way he can achieve this is to take what belong to his brothers and compel them to beg for crumbs.

This analogy could look simple but very powerful. Nigeria or Africa will never get better with the mentality of her inhabitants.

papyjaypaul:
I think they tested the waters well and succeeded. When I saw how Buhari and his cabinet posted pictures of their children graduating and we took it without any problem, I knew they flew the kite successfully. They even celebrated when ASUU was on strike I wish the children no evil but since they went to school, they have sense I assume. Are they okay with what their parents do A good name is better than____ As a parent, it is not enough to have money, the examples you show will be a signpost for your children in the future.
Look at Bwala saying the President can rule from anywhere after 17 years of what we went through during Yar Adua and his sickness.

loffyloffy:
You mean if your child is good enough to study in the best university in the world, and you have the financies to handle the fees, you will keep the child in a Nigerian University because you are a politician?

tensazangetsu20:
It's not about the tuition itself. It's about what is required of you to successfully finish one. If one isn't ready to study, then a PhD is a very huge mistake.

forgiveness:
It is false. Not correct.

I don't really think it's a good idea to setup tall buildings in Nigeria.
I get the idea that
1. it saves ground area.
2. It's some sort of prestige bullshit.
-
But this building needs to transport both people and water to the top floors
And so far, the way to do this is with electricity.
Electric motors running the lift.
Electric motors running the water pumps.
In this country, Nigeria, infamous for No electricity, you've just setup yourself to be screwed big time.
The buildings will be so expensive to run.
Our office is in a tall building, many other offices have vacated the building. We too would soon be leaving.
Expenses for nothing.

The whole of iraq and most parts of iran and even turkey are deserts dubai and abu dhabi are deserts.that a place is a desert doesnt mean its inhabited.

happney65:
Already told bae i want just 2 kids..she dey para say she wants more than that..If am able to get two..I would go do vasectomy cos i no if i dont,she would purposely get pregnant ..When am done,I would then inform her..She kuku knows what i can do..

Most Nigerian men do not actually want many kids,na the women dey always want more kids when in essence it is waste of time and resources

tensazangetsu20:
It's not only in the north where they have issues with child birth. The problem persists all over the country. Am igbo and you still igbos who give birth to 6, 7 children in this country. Sometimes I wonder if they know how much a good education cost. I don't even know whether to attribute this problem to high levels of illiteracy cause even the educated people give birth like pigs.

In the next five years at least.

A lot of ladies most especially the broke ones would be admitted to psychiatric facilities. They won't be able to handle the realities on the way. Ndi feminists

I barely see people talking about marriage these days.

Honestly I don't know much about the quality of fuel.
I am in the maritime sector and not oil and gas.
Ours is to deliver the necessary materials needed to drill by rigs.
I work with supply vessels and not oil tankers that will have such idea

Well, I don't think there is anything special about Ghana tbh.
Have been running Ghana since 2009 up till 2020 and economically, they can't rub shoulders with Nigeria.
Namibia just there once in Windhoek and Walvis Bay. Nothing special bro.
About biz, I will advise him to get chartered accountants who are into enterprise valuation to value is company and get him like 2 buyers to acquire 45% stake in his biz and setup a good management to oversee the daily running of his biz while he can take a back seat and other stakeholders contribute in monitoring the board of directors and management.
Another option is to get a good manager tht can run the biz and give him a 25% stake in the biz.
That way, the person won't see himself like an employee rather a part of the company.

nurey:
yes but not the cheap ones. Go and buy, did i stop you

Over 75% of Nigerians can't even afford tokunbo cars talk more of brand new ones. Tinubu do Nigerians long thing no be small!

Remember to park it on the streets not your compound, so when it catches fire, you won't loose both car and roof

ppogba:
I have corrected it the moment I discovered you said sub Saharan.

Sorry about that

emmaodet:
ng, I will say it is a very hard decision.
Since you have a successful biz here, I will advise you stay while you plan how your wife and kids will be staying abroad while you go to see them regularly or you just buy a better passport and stay here with them but can easily be entering western countries easily.
Don't ever expose the secret of your biz to another person else they will float theirs later after gathering the necessary experience while your biz goes down.
It's hard running a biz in absentia or remotely Andi believe you don't want to relocate and start doing shitty jobs to survive when you are a king here.
It is better to be a dog in the city than a dead lion in the bush
