I know someone who lives in both Naija and London who thinks nothing of giving his girlfriend £5,000 to add money take buy car. In Naija he and his friends compete to buy car and rent apartment for babe like say na childs play. I heard he made his money in the 90's via "uncertain" means.

Has to be oil and gas. That is the only industry right from the '90s that can give someone so much money and confidence to fork out £5K to an escort as a Nigerian who made his money from Nigeria. Private equity or investment banking or tech no fit do that one.

No wonder women look down on guys on modest salaries when these money miss roads are spending money on them as if it is water.

Those young men who spend money so that these women like them are foolish. No genuine desire, no expenditure. No money spent on the man by the woman, no relationship.

Abeg tips on on countries where PhD is currently free

Any country with a strong research culture and array of good universities. There are too many options available regardless of background, but more so in sciences, for anyone to pay for a PhD.

How Does This Work Boss?

You have been given a bed to proceed with, yet you still request for pillow. No be so abroad be like o. No one gives or tells you everything. You have to do your research.

Forgot to add too, I’m partially addicted to onlyfans too. Apparently a couple of the escort I’m

This particular escort is a Russian/Dominican descent and so pretty but I’m really really trying to resist the urge not to schedule an appointment or session. One minute I would say I’m not doing it another minute I feel like doing it. I just keep going back and forth in my head.

I’m also hoping God remembers me and heals me from my onlyfans addiction too.

That is a combination made in heaven. I can imagine her breasts and face.

I sympathise with you man. E no dey easy.

AntiZikist:
Delta and Cross River got it right by rotating power across every ethnic/senatorial zone.

The worse was Rivers .

And Akwa Ibom, too. Obong Victor Attah, an Ibibio man. Akpabio, an Annang man. I expected an Oro man to complete it, but nah, it went to another Ibibio man - Udom - although in the right senatorial district. Now, another Ibibio man is there - Umo Eno. Numerical supremacy of the Ibibios, just like the Igboid groups in Rivers state.

Numbers mean a lot in every election.

Was told this could happen , but also told it could be a head start to healing since you would be getting it on a regular basis , and all the money you currently spending would be saved towards something more productive

Also was advised to keep all my money into my senior sisters account , because having access to cash makes me tempted to book an escort
It’s so expensive, in Ontario (Toronto ) it’s 200 for half hour and 400 for an hour of sex . I’m so disappointed and ashamed of myself

You are a rich man o. You need strong therapy and spiritual prayers as backup. Very strong one. I recommend Mountain of Fire Ministries. Go to the headquarters o. But sorry to inform you, you won't get regular sex from your wife, especially after childbirth and above two children.

canada123:
To be sincere , it’s a combination of both. Before travelling to Canada, I used hookup girls occasionally in Nigeria, but was very rare because I had a girlfriend so I never had a sex problem in Nigeria . Was good, when I got here then it kind of became a problem and I made the mistake of trying an escort here , thinking it would be a one off thing, but now I’m so deep into the act and want to be delivered f But here started like a joke and now I’m in this mess

Which means you don't have a girlfriend in Canada. The question is: why? Since being in a committed relationship will reduce your "going outside" to satisfy yourself.

canada123:
Hi guys,

and I’ve confided in close friends and was advised to get married so I can have access to regular sex .

Just drowning now , I really need help . Feel so lost

LOL! As someone whose parents owns hotels, I laughed when I read that line. It is not possible. In fact, the major patrons of sex workers are MARRIED MEN. Yes, married men. Unfortunately, there is no data yet, but I want to bet sexually active bachelors have sexual intercourse more regularly than their married counterparts. Marriage doesn't guarantee constant sex. If God wants to punish you, you get married to one of those Twitter feminazis who will accuse you of marital rape kini kon and you get exposed by their goodness Uju Anya and Co. Canada has in abundance of such women.

Bants aside, marriage does not guarantee frequent sex. Your wife will deny you sex several times thus leading to frustration on your side. See
the lamentations of fellow Nairalanders: https://www.nairaland.com/6888695/dear-married-men-how-cope

My advice? You need therapy or strong spiritual prayer to let go of this addiction. Then, redirect your energies to other activities such as your popular sport, travelling, reading, learning a new language, starting a business, investing etc. There are more than a thousand activities to indulge in which are mentally stimulating and even though might be expensive, they have a high return oin investment. Having sex with different women - different yansh shapes and breast sizes - is sweet as a man due to testosterone, but the ROI is low. That has been my issue with brosititution.

No wonder Disstroy said all na performative activists. Every man for him belly.

So based on this, Asue is Esan, am I correct? Where Olumide come from then?

I guess one thing elites in Delta got right was sticking to the gentleman agreement by sharing power across the major ethnicities in the state. Unfortunately, that has not translated into development. But the rancour is less than Edo.

Good luck to those involved.

I watched the video on YabaLeftOnline and was slightgly shocked, especially at her confidence and insistence. She no say Nigerian men no too get money like that? Has she forgetttne the country that she is in?

You see, these are the media content young men watch from their female contemporaries - implying that they (young men) don't deserve sex or love because they don't have money. But tomorrow, the same female contemporaries, when over 30 and are wives would then demand for the same men to be faithful and keep to one woman even after toiling to make "50M naira".

Another reason I don't castigate men who "cheat" on their wives/partners. I believe a financially comfortable man has earned the right to "cheat". It is his choice to exercise that right or not. Any woman who doesn't like it has three options;

- Marry a woman
- Marry a man who is struggling financially
- Remain single.

The right to choose, not the right to dictate.

Eunoiaa:
"Girls don't believe they are broke, too" do men believe they are used after sex?

Na the hypocrisy wey dey this world. In a country where sexual liberty is mocked at or frowned upon, it is expected that the women will charge or bill for access to their vaginas. Maybe if the country was as liberal as Southern African or Caribbean countries, but cultures and traditions no go gree. However, we cannot have it both ways - ease of having sex while slut-shaming the women.

Then, she should date British men since she is culturally British. The Nigerian environment doesn't condone/forgive a man for being vulnerable. Become vulnerable, and that would be the stage of "see finish". Besides, men are not biologically supposed to be vulnerable (whatever she meant by that term).

lastkingsman:
The tuition fee introduction is it only for masters or both masters and PhD?

Anyone who pays tuition fees for the bold needs to have his/her brain examined. The introduction was for MSc courses.

saintkeppy:
Okay Sir, I get your point based on current trend about Poland Visa issuance, regardless one can still give it a try.

What's your opinion about Schooling in Romania?

To me, it is not bad provided it is a STEM course, especially the one Eastern Europeans are good at (hardcore maths and physics). Whether a country is good depends on the person and priorities.

drimzsmoke:
Human biology is seriously out of date!!!

Not surprised by the contents of that book. Testosterone - what makes a man who he is - fuels the desire to have sex with as many women as possible.

Please, what is the name of the book?

Sukovick:
Can't affor study route.
Which country can one japa to with any vocational training without coming back after the completion of the training.

Not all studies route means study at a university. If you can afford 3 million yen as tuition fees and living expenses, I strongly recommend you apply to a Japanese language school, preferably outside the Kanto and Kansai regions. Once you enter and learn the language, you can then apply to technical colleges in Japan. There are scholarships to study there. Also, there are plenty of such jobs, but Japanese proficiency is mandatory. It is why you have to go through language school. Vietnamese, Chinese and Nepalese dominate those sectors as the Japanese government gives them preferential treatment. Don't worry about part-time jobs, there are a dime and a dozen. The aim is to pay the first year's tuition at the language school and provide hard evidence of being able to cater for living expenses (the reason you should avoid Kanto and Kansai regions).

P.S. To qualify for entry to language schools as a fresh learner of Japanese, you must be below 30 years old. Two, it is your responsibility to search for the requirements of each language school. Please, don't ask me "What is Kanto region?" or "Which school do you recommend?"

Pristine664:
You guys lie with bareface because you know most Obidients are teenagers and early 20s guys who hardly know anything about Nigeria 10-15 years ago.

😂

You mean when the economy was growing well, and the unemployment was low? You mean when the subsidy was to be removed (at the right time), but your ret@rds at APC kicked against it and shouted with their smelly mouths, "that there is nothing like subsidy"? If Nigeria was terribly bad 10 - 15 years ago, how come Buhari and Tinubu could not make it better rather than worse?

P.S. I am not an Obidient as I knew he would not have won the election.

Pristine664:
They know there is nothing special about her, that is the way they celebrate criminals from their own region while telling you to kill your own.

Her current position is still a political position made possible by Buhari but her people will not let us hear word.

Agbadorians and being mendacious. So, if there was nothing special about her, how come successive finance ministers couldn't improve the economy, fiscal and monetary, better than she did?

ddippset:
You don't compare it with what we have today,

You compare it with how her government met it.

Stop being clever by half.

Nigeria was the sixth fastest-growing economy in the world when GEJ left office. Our debts were low, and NOI initiated policies to save money from crude oil sales, but Fashola, Amaechi and fogly-looking Oshiomole objected by screaming, "share the money". NOI and even Sanusi cried that subsidy should be removed, but APC (then ACN & CPC) countered it by organising "Occupy Nigeria" protests. The unemployment rate was remarkably low. Nigerians were returning enmass from the UK to find jobs. Nigerian students who studied in the UK didn't bother to work there as most GLADLY returned after their studies. There was nothing like POF because any bloke could afford his/her studies. Nigerians rarely went with their families to study in the UK, not today, where the ratio of dependants is 1:1.

It is only Agbadorians who will deny that GEJ had a fruitful and prosperous economy than their incompetent leader, Buhari, who they gladly campaigned for and voted for in 2015.

Gerrard59:

INSEAD tuition fees was 12-16 million naira ten years ago. shocked Similar to London Business School and its likes. These schools are among the world's best, with the London Business School being the best MBA school in the Anglophone world outside the US. Today, however, Northumbria University, a lowly ranked university, is charging Nigerian students 25 million naira for a nine-month master's program. https://www.nairaland.com/7967805/stay-away-northumbria-university-uk#127907131

Do you people know the most annoying thing of it all?

The majority of the posters here, most of whom pride themselves as "intelligent", campaigned and voted for an incompetent feudalist in the name of Buhari because he promised to phight kwarruption! Yes, these men hurled insults towards Jonathan, under whose administration they enjoyed plum jobs, high salaries and consistent economic growth.

Ibe.Okehie: come and see your darling Nigerians who said they are intelligent.
alo.re: see your compatriotsts. I am sure you attended one of the schools mentioned here, which is why you were paid 700K per month before fleeing Nigeria because of Buhari's terrible economic policies. The same Buhari you gladly and proudly, without regrets, thumbed for during the 2015 elections.

Do you know the second most annoying thing?

These bloody retards have fled Nigeria!!!! Yes, as I write, NONE of them reside in Nigeria. They have packed their bags and fled to the white man's land nodding their heads like malnourished Agama Lizards, while chanting on Twitter that blacks and whites are equal. These people campaigned and voted for an incompetent communism-loving dude because jOnAtHaN wAs kWaRrUpT and bUhArI wIlL pHiGt kWaRrUpTiOn.

Let me state here unequivocally and explicitly that ten years ago, Nigerians could afford London Business School tuition fees, study there and return to higher jobs in the country. Access Bank was organising aptitude tests in London and, I think, New York as well for freshly graduated MSc grads to work in Nigeria. That was 2013. There was at least one graduate trainee recruitment program per day on the front page of Nairaland during this period.

Today, Nigerians are studying at Teesside University and schools with very funny-sounding names. Today, they are moving alongside their children to LGTV and transgender mumbo-jumbo infiltrated communities to learn courses they would not have learnt, all things being equal. Very few Nigerians moved with their families to study abroad during Jonathan's era. The majority went there alone and returned after their studies. Yes, self-funded students (sometimes the companies sponsor them) studied at good universities in the UK and returned to Nigeria. The majority did not bother with ILR or Care Jobs or say make I work for Her Majesty. The majority weren't interested in marrying women from different cultures just to have residency papers; after all, they studied at good universities.

Today, these miscreants fled in their 30s and 40s with their smelling tails in between their legs to the white man's land. They have to contend with the laws the white man has enshrined in his land. They can't drink water and drop cup, or else their wives will divorce them, and they will be ruined for life. One of them up there is always bashing women till today. Who knows whether him wife don deal with his Agbado life? In fact, the one above my post vigorously campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015 and 2019 and also for Tinubu in 2023. Where is he today? Canada! Yes, he fled. I am telling you, all fled. Why did he flee? "Country is hard, and business is not moving well". But he voted for Buhari in 2015 because he believes Jonathan was kwarrupt and is an Igbo man. Kini kon Igbos must not govern Nigeria. Today, he is in sub-zero temperatures doing mini-importation.

I reiterate it for those who might not read it: Buhari is a wicked man, anyone who campaigned, voted for him in 2015 and supports him (aka Buharist) is a wicked person. Know this and have peace.

Bloody retards!

Biggie225:
Women are great pinnacle for every working society.

Pinnacle in terms of birthing the next generation. That is why countries protect children and women FIRST before men during perilous times.

Women contributed alot to what we are facing today in Nigeria.

Big Fat Lie! Nigerian men wrecked the country. In cases where women "contributed", they learnt it from the men and even had male accomplices. Men build a country. Women follow their lead.

Developed countries don't joke with their women.Reason is because they know what women brings to the society.
Great women raise great Generations.

Actually, a country can "joke" with their women as long as there is no war. However, developed countries were built and maintained by its men. In fact, the same UAE you applaud, how many times do you see their women in events and making public statements? Their women are seldom heard, but rarely seen. How many times you don see a foreign man touch an Emirati woman in such a manner? How many Emirati women do you know who heads a global organisation or work at a global level as NOI?

Finally, Mr Biggie, I dare you, mention ONE developed country where women were at the forefront of its development, and I will deactivate this account of mine.

Just ONE country, please.

You May not be entirely correct about Poland, My very close friend of mind we graduated together went to Poland to study masters in Rountry to some people in some aspects or may be due to the fact that they're also yet to join Schengen Zone for easy movement across Europe until 31st March, 2024 when they will partially join, but it is a stepping stone for me to access or migrate to other part of the world.[/b]

I was only trying to suggest how one can look at a cheaper alternative way of acquiring education abroad or Japa via student route, I think with a good and experienced EduTravel Agent, it will be much easier to get to any school of your choice as long as you can afford their services.

Your opinion is noted though.

Poland is not bad, both as an EU member, strength of passport or economy. However, the ease of being issued the visa presently as a Nigerian is what my post is interested in. See the thread on Nairaland: https://www.nairaland.com/2272115/polish-student-visa/564

At a point last year, people were lamenting that they could not get visa appointments or even their relatives could not get issued a visa to attend their graduate ceremonies. As for Norway, ever since the tuition-free system was cancelled, it is a no-go zone as that country is prohibitely expensive.

.

Check schools in Poland quite close to Germany, tuition fees is cheap there and jobs available for students to cater for their needs, seek for Schengen Visa for the travelling, that will enable you tour schengen countries in Europe for better opportunities, or you reason Canada.

For unsuspecting readers, before you begin your japa plans. read through the threads of your interested countries and ask hard questions to know how it is to obtain a student visa, jobs and study there. It is extremely important. This would guide your way through. I was admitted into the University of Tartu, Estonia and with a scholarship, but declined the offer as there was no embassy in Nigeria, and applications had to be made from either Egypt or the UAE (the closest). From the Estonian thread, the total cost was a million naira (before COVID) to travel there and apply for the visa. I declined because the chances of being issued the visa to either Egypt or the UAE (tourist visa o) were low. Rather than spend such, I paid 150K as application fee to apply to another Japanese university.

In summary, Poland is unrealistic as there is almost a zero chance of being issued a student's visa. Polish universities now steer clear from Nigerian students because almost none of the accepted students gets issued a visa.

Vikalinda:
My wife sells indomie in cartons, she usually buy hundred of cartons but recently I got to her shop and noticed no single carton of indomie and I asked why? She said the price is disheartening ,a carton is about 19k she is just confused, but come to think of it, some retailers are something else, how can someone buy a carton of indomie for 19 or 20k and sell 1 pack for 1k, a carton of super pack indomie has 40 packs and u said her prices are ok. Abi u no hear well

So, the seller shouldn't have capital and eke a profit to purchase the next stock? The seller would not pay rent and staff?

Who do Nigerians this thing of not understanding elementary economics for crying out loud?!

I used to think my brothers from southeast were smart, it's in recent times i knew that they're only business smart, not much difference from aboki and the tribe i hate to be familiar with.

You mean the same ENDSARS where Igbos were accused of burning and ransacking the Oba of Lagos Palace? The same Igbos who were wrongly accused of "burning Lagos"? You suddenly want the "flat heads" to participate in the protests, yet you term the same people "my brothers"?

Anyway, I am not surprised by the tribalism as humans are tribal. Just that when poor people are tribalistic, it looks disgusting to me. Nevertheless, I am glad Igbos, especially young ones and even woke ones, finally understand Nigeria for what it is RATHER than what they foolishly thought it was by staying off any protest.

goodman023:
The route to work authorisation isn’t straightforward like u said. Most people’s option is to do the 3yrs STEM OPT, which is a guaranteed work authorisation on its own , and either leave the country or find another way. Indians use this route and work and raise money for three years, pay the loan they borrow to get their masters degree, and some eventually leave the US with the remaining of their savings, as we all know H1B is more like a scam..

For Nigerians, it is relatively easy to move from OPT to PR. The issue is getting a firm that would employ one on that visa. Some industries are now hard to enter because employers prefer PRs or citizens. And with the massive layoffs across many industries, there are more experienced Americans in the labour pool who are willing to accept lower salaries. It is only logical for firms to employ them as they have no baggage whatsoever and possess superior experience and education.

flokii:
A lady I know who hails from one of our neighboring countries in Africa but lives here in Nigeria was lamenting seriously about how the economy of Nigeria has crumbled.. In her words, Nigeria used to be the best economy in Africa at a time but has now turned to the worst performing in the space of few years.

Ghanians, Togolese, Cameroonians etc. saw Nigeria like United States back then with a lot of opportunities but story has changed today due to bad leadership, corrupt masses and greedy retailers and business owners.. It's as if they are stockpiling wealth here on earth to build mansions in heaven, even religious leaders are cashing out through gullibility of our people.

I hope the country gets restructured soon enough.. if the country must remain as one, then the non-progressives should not hold progressive thinkers down South to ransom with insecurity, kidnapping, banditry and whatnot.

Interesting to know that you did not blame Igbos this time. I wondered what changed.

kikake:
Collective stupidity? No. There are many Nigerians who don't deserve the Collective thing. Ethno-religious bigots are responsible.
GENESIS: after Muhammadu Buhari's 2001 declaration in Kaduna that he would not relent until Islamic sharia criminal laws are applied in all the states of Nigeria, he became a political icon for too many people in the far north sharia criminal laws states. He started to win millions and millions of votes in the sharia states; sotay, Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw Buhari as a possible ally to achieve Tinubu's presidential ambition. The ethno-religious bigots among the electorate and in INEC, wouldn't look back as they used every possible avenue to keep the Tinubu/Buhari alliance ontop, notwithstanding the level of poverty the alliance was inflicting upon Nigerians and Nigeria.

Good a thing there are people who know the genesis of Nigeria's present economic problems. And yes, it is painful that others suffer as a result of other Nigerians decisions.

Meti99:
Let government control prices of
1. Petrol
2. Cement
3. Rice
Every other thing will fall in place walahi

Please mention ONE country where the government did the same thing you listed and what were the outcomes?

Just ONE country, please.

Just to add;

- China has waived off 99% tariffs on agricultural products exported to the country from Africa. I did not see Nigeria being listed as one of such, but quite a handful of East and Southern African countries were mentioned as beneficiaries. So, as we can see, that is a market to cater to since the Europeans have closed theirs to African producers. They even do the same to their cousins in South America. Then, na we go gain access? Brazil eclipsed the US as the biggest soybean exporter to the US. South Africa exports a lot of wine and avocados to China.

- It behooves on Africans, especially those in developed countries to put their money where their mouth is by moving to the continent to start businesses, which will transform the continent. Expecting foreigners, especially those who aren't blacks, to develop the continent is foolhardy. No one will develop your place, even when theirs is developed. It is the moral and economic duty of Africans to develop Africa. So, no point sitting in the abroad lamenting kini kon. An instance is cashew nuts: the major exporters in the raw form are African countries. However, the major exporters of the processed form are India and Vietnam. Who dominates the field of exporting cashew in its raw form from Africa? Indians and Vietnamese. Do you expect them to process those jobs in Ivory Coast while their people need those jobs in Hanoi and Mumbai? No. Question is: why cannot native Ivoriens in France and Belgium use the knowledge obtained while working in Paris and Ghent to start businesses to source and process these nuts before exporting them to richer countries?

macklef:
Are you saying one can hustle right to work without being a student first? And if one is a student. And how easy is it for someone in the UK with msc to transit to the US

There is this belief that the route to work authorisation into the US labour market is straightforward and automatic just because one studied at and graduated from an institution in the US. That belief is entirely false. It is not automatic neither is it straightforward. The aim is to gain work authorisation into the US labour market, which is what the NIW is for. It is your responsibility to go through its requirements.

Moving from the UK as a FOREIGN graduate to work in the US is the same if you were in Nigeria and the same for British citizens. There is no automatic route. The NIW is the preferred route. It might be faster in the UK, but the process is the same.

ednut1:
under the table jobs/ using people’s paper to work is normal in USA. Have you seen any 9ja USA students lamenting online 🤣

If so, it is possible, especially as there are many of such jobs in the US. Kudos to them for their sheer grit, notwithstanding the illegality.

OkanlawonB:
This your reckless display of ill mannerism for daring to call a whole black race a failure simply confirms that you and your relatives are a big failure and a disgrace for not teaching you good mannerism.

There are black people both at home and away doing laudable things for themselves and their communities

Doing well for themselves in non-black dominated societies. Why not in black-dominated regions? Which black-dominated country with a population of at least 5 million people is functioning and prosperous? Individually, there are black folks doing well, but collectively? No. As long as sub-Saharan Africa is what it is, the black man has failed, and woefully at that.

goodman023:
That’s 952k paid in a total of a day.. damn! Individual still needs to hustle POF. Most school you pay around 12 to 20k per semester.

Sorry, but this is not feasible or even advisable for the US. POF rarely works in the US because where would you work as a part-time student to raise money for other expenses? If folks in the UK are finding it difficult to get student part-time jobs, how much more the US?

goodman023:
Earlier today, I wanted to pay SEVIS fee to process my an admission into an American school. And I saw that the SEVIS fee is now #619,850. The visa fee for the F-1 category is now #333,000 (this was just #67000 two years ago). This doesn’t guarantee visa o as you still need to have sufficient fund to show them at the embassy. Some schools charge as high as $30,000 for a year.

I’m tired . I really am

If your sponsors aren't very rich, it is pointless to study in the US. Better seek full funding from the department. Alternatively, if you have a BSc and five year work experience or BSc&MSc, apply for NIW. Studying in the US doesn't translate to the right to work in the country as that route is lottery dependent. Your target should be to gain the right to work in the US rather than study. Once that right is achieved, you play the long game to permanent residency and eventual citizenship.
