Land still dey Mowe Ofada for less than a million?

I thought many middle class folks and diasporans (esp yukay people) bought all the lands and houses there since 2015.

GloriousGbola:
It's called cherry picking - take the parts that suit you. Everyone plays that game

That's being hypocritical and disingenuous. People should practice what they preach and stand by it. Don't change the goalpost in the middle of the game.

Maybe it's why I don't do religion - way too many hypocrities.

RightToReject:
There's a difference between being an Igbo person of Delta State and being an Igbo person from any other state but living in Delta State. This is so because the country operates an indigeneity system based on "state-ancestral natives" rather than "outright ancestral natives or civic/settlers."

So, to those castigating him on his statement about the "indigenous Igbo community in Delta State," he didn't say anything wrong; stop being ignorant. His statement doesn't imply that there are no indigenous Igbos in Delta State.

And those Igbos don't have an independent mind to vote Obi regardless of Obi's ethnicity? They allowed non-indigenous Igbos to deceive into voting an Igbo man?

Nigerian politicians are largely very unintelligent and useless. There are Igbos who are indigenous to Delta state. Is he saying they don't have an independent thought process unless being convinced by non-indigenous Igbos?

The world has never been fair to men 💔

That's why you have few of them so you use the remaining funds to invest for your retirement and enjoy your life. Have few of them regardless of how many women you have in your life.

People should marry within their social class. Like she said, it's not even about money, but upbringing. There are some ladies I cannot marry even though I have the money to because our upbringing were different. There are things she will expect that I would question even though I could afford them.

Bikonu, marry within your social class. It solves a lot of issues. Shoe get size.

Then she uses religion to defend her stance. Fair enough, but the same woman will come on Twitter tomorrow to lament that her Muslim husband wants to marry another wife. Then her ignorant supporters on Nairaland would cheer her up forgetting it's the same religion that gave the man that privilege.

Are there other businesses someone can export from Japan inorder to make good money??

I'm looking at biomedical tools/devices since that's what my research would be about but I haven't done a market research on Nigeria and possibly other African countries.

Goods from Japan are way too expensive compared to their Chinese counterparts. Even the spare parts, na used ones o, not new ones. Newer ones are obtained from China. There is nothing the Japanese can produce that there isn't a much affordable Chinese replica that works the same, especially for the African market.

The Japanese are in for a huge reckoning with China when it comes to manufactured goods.

fastseo:
We did a study in England and in the workshop the prof said wage increase doesn't cure inflation. That immediately wage increases occur then factors owners will increase the prices of good to match the cost of production

Of course, it doesn't solve inflation. In fact, it leads to an increase in the cost of goods and services. Too many examples across selected states in the US. Honestly, I hold in high regards Chinese political elites across Hong Kong, Singapore and China. Technological improvements, skills acquisition and export driven developments lead to higher wages, not a forced MW.

The high house rents people are lamenting now, they won't even see houses to rent should MW become 1m. Mr Ibe is correct. Black people are socialist in nature. No wonder poverty is commonplace amongst Black countries.

To add:

- Having few children is one of the surest ways to avoid poverty in Nigeria.

- Study a math/quantitative course as math courses/programs lead to higher salaries and lucrative careers in every part of the world.

- Ensure you don't get pregnant while pursuing your first tertiary education. Education remains the surest way out of poverty

- Be well informed and timely at the same time. Hunt for scholarships like your life depends on them. They ease financial burden and make study enjoyable.

Stumbled on this, this same thing I told housemate of mine in UNI, he claims there is no lady he cannot walk up to amd ask out, I said walking up to them is not the issue but been realistic with yourself about their material needs whether na packaging or real is what you should consider, he never agreed, he is an Ogun indigene and has never been to Lagos. Few weeks after, he was chanced to visit for a party on the island, he came back and was gusting other housemates while I was inside sleeping but quite aware of the conversation going on, he practically confessed that when he saw some Ladies, for him to even walk up to them was hard, that they were way above his League, and this is a guy who is handsome and good looking quite okay financially. You need to see the way I jumped up and reminded him of what I told him earlier,ut was then he agreed.

Except say you wan catch cruise, no lele but for something, consider yourself first, pocket secondly then do you.

But there are illiterates on Twitter who believe everything is gAmE🙄. Some call it low self-esteem. These lads believe that they can get any girl if they want. The question is: what if the girl does not want you or embarrasses you?

Shoe get size, but dem no wan hear.

The IMF threatened to with-hold the loan it was to issue to Ghanaian authorities if this bill was approved. The former president suspended its approval. With Trump in power, it's strictly business rather than imposing America's so-called cultural values. Just as the World Bank also threatened not to loan Uganda money for a similar law. Tomorrow, ignorant netizens would wonder why average Africane love Donald Trump and and prefer to do business with the Chinese.

Raalsalghul:
If you’re going to go into an interracial marriage, expect the bold. It’ll be hard for a mixed race child to procreate with an African given our standing in society: they do exist don’t get me wrong but are few compared to those that procreate with whites.

A very good example is Nigerian Footballer William Troost-Ekong, go take a look at his kids: he procreated with a white woman. This is one of the reasons I’m pro black unions.

It's the dominance of the White man or the Caucasian racial group. Except the child grew up in Asia and amongst fellow Asians (attending local schools, not international schools), many WAsians, esp the women, eventually marry White men.

Sometimes, I think the White man is the next being after God. The dominance is overwhelming.

Bamz:
I believe this is similar to making egg toast with a toaster. The motivation for using almost stale bread for this purpose can be addressed altogether by just freezing bread and thawing them when required. Problem solved.

Wouldn't the bread feel waterlogged or something?

LARRYOBRAIN:
Divorce na normal for north o. Marry girl of 13years, divorce her at 18years, na so she go remain.

She remains single forever or later remarry?

Brain2025:
Divorce is rampant these days

Kano in Northern Nigeria has the highest divorce rate in the country.

I appreciate his honesty. I don't have to like him or support him, but I appreciate the honesty, even though he's not honest with some of his clients.

nedekid:
Dhe end, the lady giving the warrantee paper at the entrance started begging, I got to the car, the gate en were all begging, Haba! Real abegistan! The begging I assume is to make additional income because their salaries is certainly not enough. I understand entering buses cost as high as 1k a drop, imagine spending 5k daily on transport to work and feeeing, so if they beg well enough maybe they can use that to sort out transport and feeding cost so they do it aggressively.

One way to assuage the fuel subsidy removal was/is to have much more affordable means of transport for everyday Nigerians.

Chai! e no easy o.

Azazyel:
30m a year is good money. Nothing like survival here. 2.5M a month is not survival in Nigeria unless you are living above your means.

Remember, he is a family man with children and relatives. If he lives in either Lagos or Abuja, na wahala be that.

A certain standard of living is expected for such a high earner. If he cannot maintain it consistently, even with such earnings, then he is right to complain.

Coming from someone who worked with Tinubu and El-Rufai to have Buhari as the president in 2015.

EyeCumInPeace:
Majority of the Agbadorians who sing Tinubu's praises have never traveled out of Nigeria to places where the system works.

lol

The majority of the so-called "educated class" of Tinubu's supporters actually live or have lived in the UK, and some even possess the British passport.

GloriousGbola:
I wonder how many of them will be excited to marry their sisters or daughters off to old men who impregnate them rather than send them to school?

The op has seen all the marry smallie and send her to school end in tears. He thinks he has hacked the system but only time will tell. We have sha seen Frank edoho who also married smallie who has now passed him and is no longer subservient. By the time the op is 60 his smallie will likely be 30. If she has grown beyond him (very likely as a successful man will not have to be doing all this belle before school to hold down smallie. Na stagnant man forming igwe dey do like that) story go hard pass frank.

I know Shade Okoya isn't Razak's first wife, but there are successful, way too many, cases of much older men (35+) marrying much younger women (20-25).

I find it hard to criticise because as OP listed, the country is a poor one and has got poorer in the past decade. The risks involved in childbearing are more obvious with older women than with older men, all things being healthily equal. Lastly, cultural and religious reasons. It was here on NL that many lampooned Sanusi Lamido Sanusi for marrying an 18 year old, but till date, they're married.

Within my circle, some girls married very early, while a few married much later. But all married men who clearly looked like they were at least five years older than myself, and I was one of the youngest amongst my peers.

So, until Nigeria becomes significantly wealthier, and across the rest of Southern Nigeria (Lagos isn't the whole of Southern Nigeria), many men would begin family lives at an older age.

Blocking angry wives from philanderinh husbands since 1900

I was reading it when I saw your mention. Mr Kalu did a good job. It's an act I think is rampant in hotels/guesthouses outside the city centre of a state capital and the major areas of Lagos. I cannot imagine this happening in Gbagada .

Koppaguard:
Op I was in your shoe last week, Imagine a girl I wanted to marry, I got her contact from a match making platform, coincidentally, she happens to come from my Village, my clan to be specific, she is 24 by the way. Our chats were going well until she asked me my age, I told her that I am 30, this girl get mind talk say I don old, na once I ended the chat, she later said that it was a joke but I have lost interest already.

You're Gen-Z just as she's. So, it's surprising she calls you old.

Angelfrost:
I think there is a serious "Age Sensitivity" going on in this generation, and while I personally find it amusing, I feel it is just kinda weird.

I was a bit shocked at his experience. Sometimes, I take this as online bants, but it seems the crusade by older ladies to their younger counterparts have changed the tide for older men pursuing much younger girls.

See what Instagram and TikTok don cause

voortrekker966:
And why are you not there and where's your house?

Female runs girls need special grace and connections to hookup with men that change their lives in Abuja.

Stop decieving young men. There's nothing like women who make calls and book men for sex in Abuja. In your village maybe, but in Abuja, no.

Number one, I'm not interested in that engagement.

Number two, I tell say I dey look for house?

Number three, this is his NL profile: https://www.nairaland.com/skales67

Argue with him!

highchief1:
i know u have never left Nigeria.eveey state deserves atleast one airport.Delta has two.theres something we call ease of doing business.some investors will never

I will let the first line slide.

Ease of doing business isn't by creating airports everywhere, even in poor states. You first build railway lines to transport goods and people in large numbers before constructing airports, especially when nearby states have airports that are grossly uncompetitive in numbers (passenger traffic and revenues).

Abia doesn't have good roads leading to Akwa Ibom. Ukwa West abi East has HORRIBLE roads. I passed there this January. The good roads were only on the Akwa Ibom side. Abia needs a functioning railway that transports industrial goods from its side and agro-commodities from the north to Onne Port, not an airport.

come to ur state by road.I cannot sit in a car now for 2hrs.Airport is a necessity.I understand we are a poor nation but we have to do what we have to do.

You use the train and none of these states have motorable roads. States as poor as Kogi and Abia don't need airports. Why should a poor Bayesla have an airport? What for?

https://nairametrics.com/2026/05/26/nigerias-aviation-industry-shrinks-47-3-first-contraction-in-nearly-two-years/

Industry has contracted, but yeah, build airports.
Here are the most profitable routes in Africa: https://qz.com/africa/1695950/emirates-british-airways-run-africas-most-profitable-air-routes

No Nigerian airport is listed, but hey, Kogi and Abia need airports.

I see why the country has a long way to go. A large number of the citizens are stark illiterates!

You started it. You labelled her old unprovoked. To be fair though, if she's very young, say 22, and she has admirers who are well off than you're, yet below 30 years old, she would consider you old.

But why would you be disturbed that a lass called you old? E be like say you no too hold money. The aspect of marrying a second wife at 45 is baseless if you don't have money.

SmartPolician:
Congratulations to them, but I think state governors should be investing in power than airplane. The likes of Air Peace are wailing about how unprofitable the industry is and state governors are still jumping into the business

The aviation industry has one of the thinnest profit margins, yet governors of notoriously poor states are unveiling airlines, aircrafts and airports. It shows low I_Q.

The other day, I read that Abia is building an airport even when at least FIVE states with airports (none in the top two busiest nationwide) are abut to Abia. Meanwhile, illiterate Abian residents were delighted. Few months later, Kogi, too, announced the construction of its own airport. I just laughed

He should've told them that in 2023. I did, but his stoopid supporters mocked me.

Idiats!

Double post...

voortrekker966:
So you think this chic made this call, made a video and posted it and really paid for the sex? You think this particular girl doesn't have at least 20 men that want to spend money just to sleep with her?

Guys actually arrive in Abuja and think things like these really happen. They don't.

Older Abuja women will invite you to their homes, give you enough food and give you transport fare or money to buy fuel if they like you. But they will never call an unknown random guy and negotiate price for sex with a man they don't know. NEVER! Don't delude yourself.

And for younger women like this lady, she'll rather sleep with one of the numerous men admiring her for free than pay a complete stranger for sex.

Again entirely untrue. Go to Codedruns.com, search for the top male escort, copy his phone number and come back to Nairaland to search it. The dude has completed house and even has a following of aspiring young men as substitutes when he cannot meet up demand, which according to him is very high.

advanceDNA:
Lies….lies …...:24/7 ..Lies..


Naija wom£n are too broke, stingy, and too entitled to pay for sex…. U sleep with a naija babe… u are automatically owing her money, wig, phone, birthday bash, and even bride price if she sees you as marriage material

Lol

Yet someone has built a house from the proceeds and is the number one male escort on Codedruns.com?
