I don't know much that is substantive about the Bahamas or Barbados, but...why did you want to mention them? Curious.

I know ZERO about Suriname. Nothing at all. I would have hesitated to call it a country, I thought it was a famous tourist Island in Indonesia or somewhere, kinda like Borneo or something. What about it?
Good Luck to Nigeria.

It is abut to Guyana and seemingly safe. I don't know about its prosperity, but it is, from comments I have read so far better than Guyana. As for the B islands, well, there are safe, relatively prosperous and functioning. Although there are reports of gangs in the Bahamas. Both Bs have British influence, so your post aligns. However, I don't know about how the influence Dutch culture has on Suriname (the official language is Dutch).

Hug your pillow. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly, it is not something one should experience. Women generally can stay celibate for a long time. A female friend got a sex t.oy from her friend in Lagos before coming here, and she says it has been a blessing. My issue is that it is not even there to see (I don't have to touch them). But let me just see what they look like. E no dey. If e did not dey, e didn't dey.

Honestly, Black women are beautiful. Don't allow anyone to say otherwise. No wonder ALL the Black males (Black African anyway) I know here who can obtain proper/standard work visas married Black women. I am not just convinced about raising a Black family here.

lastkingsman:
I don't really plan to return to Nigeria. I was in that country recently and I almost cried.

I would rather learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil or find countries like ivory coast and start life there later when I am done here

Wow!

Wetin happen? Please, what did you see and experience? Did you spot any business opportunities? Because I am all for utilising one's abroad experience, finances and exposure to harnessing the opportunities in Nigeria. Lastly, where and where did you go to in Nigeria?

IbeOkehie:
Botswana, Namibia and South Africa are better places to live because they have a White European population living there. India is more of an object lesson for Nigeria because it's successes are majorly due to the indigenous population AND also because it shares a similar colonial history. Negroes with the highest HDI and wealth in the world live in White or Caucasian dominated or controlled countries. A comparison of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nigeria makes that abundantly clear.

There's no country controlled or dominated by Negroes that has high HDI without having a substantive population of European Whites citizens....it never can happen. It's not an accident that Nigeria, a country with the highest concentration or population of Negroes in the world, is also the Poverty Capital of the World.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

I wanted to mention the likes of Bahamas, Barbados and Bermuda before reading the bold. What do you think of Suriname?

At least you people will appreciate the rapid INFRASTRUCTURAL and economic development of China within the past twenty years. Also, other Chinese dominated enclaves are well above their Indian counterparts. Aside the West and their East Asian cousins, the Han Chinese aren't anyone's mate.

Why are you Yoruba guys not bold enough to seek for a peaceful division of Nigeria so that Yorubas can have a fully independent Yoruba nation where Yorubas can fully decide how they want their city to be without migrants?


Because under national and international law you have no right or legal backing to call your fellow countrymen migrants, every Nigerian have the full right to move freely within Nigeria and live freely in any part of Nigeria he or she likes so long as he or she is law abiding and not committing crime, and if he or she commits crime as a Nigerian citizen, it is the responsibility of the security aka Nigerian Police to arrest and prosecute him but you cannot deport someone in his own country. Yorubas please stop using such words, it's hate speech and punishable under both national and international law. Your countrymen can never be called migrants. Migrants are people from outside your country. Are you guys not informed or what?


So to achieve this una Yoruba egbe patriotism, you Yorubas need to be brave enough to start full agitation for an independent Yoruba nation because you cannot be in the same nation with other tribes where you use politics of gangup and corruption to be collecting their resources and be developing your region while using politics to sideline their region and still turnaround to tell them not to come to your region, that is a call for anarchy and possible crises and even war.

Best thing is for Yorubas to join Igbos and ask for a peaceful division of Nigeria so Yorubas can have Yoruba region to themselves alone and do as they like with it, it's that simple, anything less is a call for crises and full anarchy. But if you guys seek for your own Yoruba nation, you then have the full legal backing to issue visa to people that meets your visa rules and deport any none Yoruba nation person that violates your Yoruba nation's law

Very simple. I will be the number supporter of Oduduwa nation.

The comments here and on Twitter say a lot about the founder's persona and business practices. Besides, it is not every business model that works abroad would work in Nigeria. Basic trading and manufacturing are the key businesses to propel Nigerians' economic growth. People need to earn comfortably and consistently before they can afford alternative entertainment. And one wonders why the Indians, Chinese and Lebanese thrive. Why won't they when they solve basic problems? The other day, some cl0wns on Twitter mocked Dangote for building a refinery, whereas his American counterparts are releasing tech services and updates. Many ignor.ant people with access to the Internet. Na Obasanjo caused all this thing.

DisGuy:
$5/mo is a luxury I doubt even 250k can reliably afford in Nigeria.

Na wa o

But I thought everyone lived on banana island in Nigeria and worked remotely earning foreign dols

Netflix, Prime, Rok

Your comment reminds me of Nairaland of 2010 - 2012.

You better appreciate what you see o. Some of us don't get to even see yan... let alone sh. The one that pains me the most is breasts!

God! I have suffered!

emmaodet:
Increase birth rate? When jobs are drying up? What then are the people going to do?
The years ahead will need lesser and lesser people to run the economy/society.
It takes more than 40 people to clear a 10 acres farm 50 years ago, it only requires 1 tractor man to do the job today and will require a robot or a man with better technological equipment less than 5 hours to do that job in the next 50 years.
So I don't believe we need more humans. Actually we need lesser

Na wetin me and Tensa20 dey discuss hours ago. The future will have fewer jobs, more automation/robots. There was an article on the FT where the CATL CEO predicted that half of the trucks in China would be EVs by 2030. That thing put fear for my body because, should trucks - a major component of transportation, which consumes crude oil a lot - become electric, oil prices would not increase as before. China has more industrial robots than the US, South Korea, Japan, and Germany combined.

The good jobs will be fiercely competed for. So yes, people should have fewer children. However, the pension system, as it is, has to be reworked or higher taxes imposed on wealthier persons and companies. Just that in an age of easy mobility, I love to see how policymakers will navigate things. Companies can be domiciled elsewhere, ditto factories. Moneyed individuals can change tax location (as recently experienced in the UK). How would governments compel these persons to be within where they can be taxed?

seguno2:
Can they not be raised cheaply in those areas and transported for sale where there is a market for them, like yams, tomatoes etc from the middle belt and the north?

What is the demand for rabbits as a source of meat and protein in Nigeria? These aspects should be taken into account before starting production. Better goat. Even the snails people yap about, I am not convinced. Piggery works best in areas with a strong Chinese population. Every business needs a market to sell to. There has to be a sustainable demand for it to grow and later thrive. Once no buyers, that business fails, woefully at that.

JuanDeDios:
Is there a market for these Oyinbo rabbits like that? Nigerians eat them?

The market is tiny and largely situated in the Lagos area. Anyone who opens this business in Anambra, Ekiti or Kogi is in for multidimensional poverty.

Before going into such businesses, check the market demand. Even piggery some praise on social media, it depends on the state one resides - actual population, earning power and presence of Chinese nationals.

I'm not convinced with the millionaire rabbit farming. If they're asked to open their books, funny tales will spring up.

All these people wey no dey get work for real life go dey shame or mock someone with a verifiable craft and influence. Na why I no like unnecessary publicity.

lavida001:
Yes DEI must DIE. There is not diversity in China yet, they are doing so well. Maybe country’s should start developing their nations rather than wanting to be included and identified in another country.

I admire your evangelism!

Truth is: nothing beats being in your dominant land that is functioning and prosperous. Na why I envy Black South Africans. Wetin concern those ones with japa? As the African population rises, which means there will be MORE Black people than some racial groups, there will be further restrictive immigration policies. Gradually, everybody go begin answer their papa name.

jedisco:
Didn't take long. Telegraph is already arguing against ILR for our great british care workers. When they were used to subsidize care costs, they didn't know they were 'low-skilled'. Now its time to become citizens, they don remember their skill... lol
Interesting how these folks advocate a UAE-esque system when it suits but when it doesn't, accuse those folks of human right abuses. If its a mistake, why is the visa pathway still open? Well, I'm happy Keir is overseeing the return of migration numbers to 'normalcy'

Over the next two years, many of those who arrived since 2021 will become eligible for indefinite leave to remain. Once this is granted, no matter how expensive they may turn out to be, they can stay. The priority for the Government should be preventing this from happening – extending the time taken for eligibility, imposing fiscal contribution thresholds and, in the longer term, shifting towards a guest worker model for short-term, low-wage work. The alternative is too costly to contemplate.

Generally, developed countries would have to increase birth rates or revamp the pension system. Something has to give in. The UAE model is good for even immigrants (after all most immigrants are economic in nature), but bad for the pension system in the UK. Another option is to increase taxes, but many wealthier European countries have high taxes and low birth rates. The UAE/Qatari/Singapore model fits smaller and wealthier nations. The alternative for more populated countries would be to increase the birth rate or rework the pension system.

lavida001:
That’s why I keep advocating for us to join force and revive Nigeria and Africa. Even with your ILR you will be summed up with the rest of your kind.

I remember when Sukkot (had to mention his moniker) stated he knows many Black Brits (born and bred in England) who moved to the Caribbean, and they became happier ever since. Psychological happiness is so underrated. People in Nigeria wouldn't fully grasp it. I was once like them, so I can understand. Nothing beats being in your dominant society. Chinese bred in the US are now realising it. Good for them, though they have many options to replicate or even surpass living standards.

There are pros and cons to living abroad, but all things being equal, nothing beats a relatively functioning and prosperous sub-Saharan Africa.

onuman:
Christianity being gradually wiped out in Benue-Plateau after Christianity was wiped out in the NE beginning from Borno state.
The NW and parts of SW are already in the kitty of Fulani Jihadists with their ISWAP group.
There was a country. Cry less BenuePlateau. Your leaders don't seem to understand that a sovereign country of BenuePlateau is your only saviour.

My major problem with the Benue issue is that the state is contiguous to Igbo land. Once the Fulanis conquer Plateau and Benue, Igbo land is next. Once Igbo land is conquered, Nigeria becomes a full fledged Islamic Republic.

But hey, even you campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. Why are you surprised?

Afonja007:
This is all we got from Tinubu will take care of economy shettima will handle security the same thing buhari told his gullible followers osibanjo will handle economy while buhari will take care of security as a former major general , history will judge buhari and tinubu ,people been killed in their villages if they leave their villages and decide to relocate to Lagos ronus will start telling them to go back to Benue state ,what type of country is Nigeria,people who are living in abject poverty been killed in their poor villages

That's where it pains me the most. These people aren't interested in relocating outside Nigeria or becoming billionaires. Well, Nigerians caused it when they campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. We warned but we were called wailing wailers.

It's unfortunate, but Benue as a state is gone and give it 15 - 20 years, it will become islamised.

You people should please understand them:

- They moved as adults who had spent >25 of your lives in a particular location only to move to an entirely different country. It's not South Africa or Ghana, it's the UK.
- Where they lived had sunlight 24/7/365. Where they're now gets it only twice per annum.
- They're far away from their loved ones who they grew up with and schooled together. They have realised that life isn't just all about money and constant electricity, after all, they are people who earn well back home.

NwaAmaikpe:



A whitelady that married a blackman against the will of her people, gave him a stay in the country, spoils him silly with gifts and worships the ground he steps on will readily smash his phone out of sexual frustration.
Sex is not a want, it is a need.
That is why it is called S.EX, meaning So Esssential.

The Bible says in Songs of Solomon 8;4, "do not awaken love till it is it's time" because the Bible knows that once you have tasted sex or orgasm, it becomes a need for your body that must be sustained.

You cannot fool nature.
Pastors tell us to be celibate but the Lord in his infinite wisdom sends his angels to give us wetdreams so that we can ejaculate and maintain our sanity.
Yet the same pastor will tell us we have spirit wives and spirit husbands rather than tell us to respond better while making love in our dreams.

Biology may call this wetdreams, but reality proves it is simply water finding its level.

People do very irrational things just for sex and it is called sex-deprivation-induced-temporary-insanity.
A married man will lie that his wife is dead so he can furk a stranger, normal people will shag imbeciles and madwomen, even classy ladies will molest school children due to the chemical imbalance that exists when there has been insufficient or no sexual release.

That's why our eyes clear when we cum, but it does not actually clear, we regain our sanity.
Absalom didn't know it was incest till he ejaculated; suddenly he couldn't stand the same lady he was once obsessed about.

The court will acquit a man who shot his wife dead after walking in on her cheating, likewise it will acquit a woman who strangled her lover to death while straddling him in the course of lovemaking; because both could be attributed to temporary insanity in the throes of passion.

Just like I'd blame women who sex-starve their husbands and then they end up doing outrageous things like shagging a donkey or masturbating in public buses, I'd also blame this man for withholding his preek.

Sex is not overrated, it is actually underrated.

After oxygen and food, the next basic need of an adult is good sex.
Never underestimate the power of a good preek, 82% of all bitter women are preek deprived, while 70% of all core women-haters are involuntary celibates.

If you have a man, open your legs for him more than you open your Bible. Because the former will save that relationship while the later will also confirm to you that while respect is the block of a union, sex is it's mortar.

What a dude and a write-up!

I don get strong backup. I will bookmark this. So detailed and erudite!

The governor is a reverend and the Catholic Church in the Vatican has never uttered a word of condemnation or sympathy for the atrocities against Catholics in Northern Nigeria.

Interesting to see.

Women and defending of immorality are miles apart... Next. Thing una go talk say de sexualise una

How is wearing gym clothing immoral?

This Sharia you people are looking for, surely, you will get it one day.

It's either OP is obsessed with Jerry Eze or is against a man undergoing exercise. The obsession is very unhealthy.

Mr RodgersAkpafu,

I have seen your quote and will reply soonest.

As an ex-Nairalander stated on Twitter, this isn't life.

You cannot make good money only to be mobbed publicly simply because you drive an exotic car.

UrPapa:
Lagos needs to do something about these street gangs abi na urchins
You can’t even drive a 2015 Benz on lagos road without getting mobbed at every stop

Ah!
But Benz are ubiquitous in Lagos na. Why should that happen?

Every Nigerian politician is into one cult or the other. None is free.

So, I am not surprised by the allegation, but surprised his wife was "used" rather than someone else. Then again, Akwa Ibom is notorious for so many prophets and prophetesses in the name of npo o fok and ufok Abasi.

Mkpo ndok!
