These are unwarranted,the guy asked a simple question. You don't know him before but you've already judged him as a tribalist. What sort of human are you.
Most of you comment with already programmed mind to act a certain way to certain people. What makes it stupid is this forum is faceless,so you just read comment and assume that a person deserves your preprogrammed hatred.
Also buhari is no more the president,his son is in London right now with his wife and family,if you like let hypertension kill you.
I repeat, no Nigerian from any ethnic group has the moral right to complain about racism. You people are too poor to complain about discrimination when you lots do it very well in Nigeria.

I don't have any business with Buhari or his son. So, I don't know why you mentioned him.

Thanks for the questions..
Like I said,I've been in Abuja for one month and I've already gotten a Job that pays 150k a month...I stay with a friend who will let me live with her till I'm tired...
Gwarinpa,the area I stay is in FCT.
Things are going on very well
Good. Since you have free accommodation, stay there for two years. Save like mad. Reduce costs. Contribute to food items consumed in the house. Accommodation is the major cost for new residents in Abuja.

Maybe you should check her picture first before saying she wouldn't have any problems because she is a woman.
She is fairly OK. Big bros that like slim girls will be her major clients. Her type has no problem in Nigeria. There will be men who will do anything just to get in between her legs. Nigerian men can do anything for sex. ANYTHING!

If she is smart enough, she should bill them very high, save, save and pivot back to Uyo to marry and or start something for herself.

Good morning y'all..
I've been in Abuja for a month now,and I love how calm and peaceful it is especially the area I stay which is Gwarinpa,second Avenue.

Now I'm thinking of relocating from Uyo To Abuja by September this year.
I know things are expensive but I love how everywhere is calm and nice compared to Lagos where everywhere is crowdy,noisy and stuffs I can't keep up with like heavy traffic and so on

Now,Abuja based nairalanders
Is there any challenge you have living in Abuja or any regrets?
Is there anything you would want me to know?
Abeg,share am with me make I no carry leg enter where I no fit commot..
Meanwhile..Bolt prices wan choke me😩
What happened to using minibus and taxis? Na the problem wey most Nigerians get; living a champagne lifestyle on a beer income. You never dey financially stable, you dey use Bolt steadily as if it is an affordable means of transportation. Now, you want to relocate to a major Bolt market where there is even greater usage and pressure to patronise the service.

Now, what are you doing in Uyo? How do you intend to replicate the same in Abuja? Why Abuja? Why now? The major cost for new migrants to a place is housing and housing in Abuja especially close to the business areas are expensive. Note: FCT is different from Abuja. You get place to stay for Abuja free of charge for the next six months? What is the distance between there and where you intend to make a living?

Honestly, some of the questions you lot ask make me question if you people actually attended secondary schools.

I remember when I was single, and no girl will even dear flirt with me. To get a lady to even flirt then was like winning nairabet. It was me doing the chasing and toasting to get girls to even go out with me., no one even took me seriously when I was single. It was all good then.
Now I have been married for some years. Now they are all interested. I noticed the same for my married friends because they told me too.
Where were you when I was single? Lol Is being married now a thing to be attracted or not. I promise to stay faithful.
It goes both ways, and I dare say more from the men's side. It is married men that signed the dotted lines to keep fidelity. They have the power to say no, especially as it is men that spend, not the spinsters. But the lure of sex and varied sex styles no go gree them accept say na their fault. This is my problem with such men. Own it up, say I dey cheat because I love sex, different sex styles etc. Don't put the blame on single women whereas na una dey pay their house rent, school fees, open businesses for them, pay hotel rates and buy food.

pansophist:
ter the second world war.


But China who are master strategists, an over 5000 years old civilisation has seen all the tricks and dodged them all. They were patient until they grew really stronger, and said, ENOUGH.

I don tire to type. Just be vigilant. We are living in an interesting time. The disintegration of the hegemon. The question is, will the US accepts it defeat and go down peacefully? We shall see.
Sure, it will end in a decade or two. China just needs to maintain GDP growth of 4%, increase her diversity of import and export dependent countries, punish those who belittle her, seek to amend frosty relationships between warring sides, don't interfere in internal conflicts of countries etc. Basically, just keep doing what she has been doing.

Within two months, James Damon of JP Morgan, Anthony Blinken, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Janet Yellen, John Kerry and now, Henry Kissenger have visited the Chinese. You know what it means when such people from one country visit their arch-rival, not the other way round. China should keep the support behind Putin, and contribute as usual towards the industrialisation of sub-Saharan African countries.

To illustrate what it means to align with the Chinese: Geely is investing $10BN in Malaysia to produce EVs. Meanwhile, Phillippines changed her president who now aligns with the US and gets a military base. Tell me, to a developing country and even a developed country, which would you rather prefer, a factory or a military base? Under the previous president, Phillippines increased bananas exports to China. Now, the Chinese are importing more bananas from Ecuador and Indonesia. I really hope African countries realise China is a force for good rather than bad.

Here: The Chinese tell Kissenger that China cannot be contained or encircle. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/07/19/china-bejing-henry-kissenger-visit-us-diplomat/#comment

He is very lucky! Next time, he would be wary about visiting any African country. Tinubu, apparently, is not interested in his case. Or luckily, a stronger force mediated his deportation to the UK rather than Nigeria.

TravelRe: Kazakhstan Has Banned Nigerians Over Rape & Bank Robbery - Dara Ikenna Nzimora by Gerrard59(m): 1:57pm On Jul 19, 2023
Litmus:
So the new one now is that Nigerians are bank rubbers and rapists Abroad. Before, it was Nigerians are drug pushers and pimps. Before that Nigerians were prostitutes and competing with Italian mafias in Italy. Before this, Nigerians were fraudsters and outnumbered every other ethnic group in UK jails.

When will Nigerians wake up and realise that you're being attacked by organised media. Nigeria government need to find a way of finding out and identifying the members of the Troll Houses tarnishing Nigeria on social media. Even if its only one or two of these Troll House members every year, Nigeria should publicise and jail them.
The news about Seychelles and Kazakhstan banning Nigerians came from Nigerians living in Nigeria. Stop blaming an unknown foreign media.

Nigeria government also need to send investigators as well as involve her embassies in getting to the root of all news such as the one about cult members attacking each other in Dubai and making facts public.
Those caught were shown to be Nigerians; names, passports and pictures. Why should Emirati authorities lie? What do they have to gain from lying that a certain group of Africans displayed brutish attitudes and robbed a jewellery store in broad daylight?

Fake news takes root and spreads in the dank, dark corners and spaces of government neglection. As things stand now, Nigeria cannot afford to simply ignore even the stupidest news of this type. Don't just let Seychelles, Afghanistan or Bunkumistan write or institute crap about Nigerians because it is easy to do so since we don't investigate and make results of investigations public in order to shame them and Nigeria's enemies. Bleep diplomacy, they're not diplomatic with us!
Why not admonish Nigerians to follow the rules in the country they migrate to? Are Nigerians the only ones travelling? Thank God you did not blame racism because Kazakhstan did not ban Ghanaians, South Africans, or Namibians. They banned Nigerians. Are we the only black people who like to travel? If you like irresponsible people and condone their activities, good for you. But not everyone does. Due to the high rate of transporting drugs to Singapore, we lost visa-free status before 2006/7. But a poorer Burkina Faso enjoys it to date. Was it fake news that stated Nigerians should transport drugs to Singapore?

Tell Nigerians to behave when in other countries. That way, there will be no reason to ban them. Why should any adult let alone foreigners have sex with underage girls?

I really would appreciate your reply.

Thank you
Anytime I read the bold from Africans, esp Nigerians, I shake my head. People who trade in tribalism used it to flog other people who went to vote, exterminate communities because the indigenes are of a different ethnic group, and many more are suddenly worried about racism. Tribalism is way worse than racism because you both are of the same race aka share the same skin colour. The annoying thing about the tribalism is the privation bedevilling both people. People wey poverty don nack their head pass talking drum dey carry tribalism for head like gala. A South Korean and Japanese might have issues because of their histories, but both persons are citizens of rich countries. Somewhere in Africa, two people go get problem even if their ethnic groups never had one historically, but these people are both poor. Most of them inhale generator fumes for a living. Others don turn camel because of fuel at N700. Tomorrow, they want to japa and are bothered about racism.

Nansense!

As always, better to reside with racists in a prosperous land than live with tribalists in the world's poverty capital. If you must discriminate against others, ensure you're prosperous at global levels.

The reason I blame the men is that instead of understanding that they are in it together with their women,
Obviously, the men are to be blamed. It is men who chart the course of a society/racial group/ethnic group.

they hate the women for things that are entirely not their fault and think going to white women will solve the issue.
What are these things which are not the fault of black women? How do white women come across as a group of people who can solve these issues?

Then of course it doesn’t. So they bounce and circle the block. Only to do it again. all over again. They often don’t take the opportunity for self reflection and re-strategizing.
If there is one thing I have noted about black people, at least online, it is never taking responsibility for one's actions. God! When compared to East Asians, there is a stark difference. So, I am not surprised.

This is not say BW are blameless but statistically when things go sideways, they are the ones who often stay to “hold down” the forte. BM don’t give them the same grace when things go sideways
What are these issues? Let's remember that in the US which is our focal point, blacks marry themselves more than they marry other races. This cuts across both genders. One question, though, does your post apply to black African men and women?
RomanceRe: Nigerian Doctor Shares Her Battle With Loneliness In The UK by Gerrard59(m): 11:10am On Jul 19, 2023
I read every post.

The UK should be fair enough for a black African woman. Has she tried places like South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, China or Japan? shocked grin

I do agree that loneliness is a real thing when you relocate from an African country to a developed one. Due to how the system is structured, people are focused on work and other aspects of life that might not resonate with you as a first-generation immigrant. The complaints differ from the second generation. Before relocating, I thought I was an introvert, but na here I con say where my introvertness stop, na there their own start. You could be in a place, no one is saying Hi and to prevent stories that touch, you don't make the first move. Worse is the language, so one keeps to him/herself. However, having learnt the language pretty well and accepted invites to a few occasions, I gradually assimilated what I will term "work-in-progress".

As for relationships, that one no concern me. Three reasons: I never had one while in Nigeria; I am laser focused on making money, and I am not too fazed about marriage. I don't see myself getting married before 40; I am not yet 30. I deprived myself of many pleasures while in Nigeria to make a good grade, getting into marriage will stifle the freedom and peace of mind I desire. While the story might be false or embellished, there are many ways to handle loneliness in the abroad.

- Join associations: Meet people. The doc stated she is not too friendly. Well, she won't be able even to make acquaintances let alone friends.

- Have a hobby: This is extremely important as it gives your life meaning beyond work and study. It could be anything that you love doing. Two hobbies I have are: reading newspapers and doing research into issues I have a deep interest in. I could read different newspapers on the same issue for an hour. In fact, I rather read an edition of The Economist Magazine rather than watch a live football match. For instance, I really relished the time I spent doing research to compile the stats and commentary on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7763389/top-jamb-scorers-where-today. A hobby I recently developed is learning Kanji. Although it is an integral part of knowing the language, I find it fun as the total number of Kanjis goes beyond the necessary ones to be certified as a bilingual speaker. The end game is to learn new ones including the Chinese variants and write the Kanji test. Now, tell me, how can I be bored?

- Travel: OP has a strong passport, most likely and she is in Europe. Find time to travel. Join groups and explore. Being in Nigeria would have made it harder due to costs and strength of the Nigerian passport. As she dey Europe, visit places you ordinarily would not have. Learn new cultures and languages. I see Nigerians on Instagram doing the same even as new immigrant nurses. So, how much an established doctor?

- Know what took you there and adjust: Are you going there for the money? Desire to live in a place where things work? To have an international working experience? Secure another nationality? Also understand that you can't have it have it all. You win some and lose some. I wrote everything here: https://www.nairaland.com/7650379/points-consider-before-after-japa

This life no suppose hard.

Agreed. If Nigeria becomes as developed as South Korea, the country will lose some of its social engagement. Lagos is an example.
