I am surprised many people here are saying Jon Champion and Jim berglin is the best combination.

Obviously y'all don't watch many big games on super sport.

Peter drury and Jim berglin is the best combination that's why they are always used in big games

I am surprised as well, Peter Drury is the Wole Soyinka of them all he makes watching football extremely enjoyable with his impeccable command of English alongside Jim Beglin.

Nigeria is great country, God gave Nigeria everything except sense to manage it!

This is very sad, the Tanzanian immigration officers should be hugely sanctioned they make it look like mere holding a Nigerian passport you are officially a criminal, despite those ladies telling them the official website of the country still says Nigerians can get visa on arrival why not update your website after you change the rule for Nigerians. African leaders need to be more relaxed about their visa policies for all African citizens, that was a very painful experience by those ladies.

Gurus in the house, how can l watch any European top Leagues like, BUNDESLIGA, LA Liga, ligue 1, l know EPL is a bit cumbersome on FTA to get but if you can help l will giantly appreciate it, can 1.8m or less do the job l live in Ilorin.

Sometimes l wonder where we got it all wrong in this country, Singapore got her independence 5 years after Nigeria and competing with countries that got their independence more than a century before them. Everything about the country is mind blowing. God gave Nigeria everything except sense to manage it, it's a mighty shame Nigeria is the only country in the world that got her independence in 1960 and still battling with the problem of Electricity. Since 1960 l don't think the whole country has experience 48 hours of power supply.

This man will be extremely sad for missing his flight not knowing Allah has another plan for him, If Allah has destined his death to be through this way, he will never missed it even if he does not have a flight ticket someone will buy it for him for free and he will surely be on board, but Allah destined our deaths with different ways or patterns, no matter how slow or fast you are you will never miss your time of death and the way destined for you to die, let's all turn to God for repentance because death its the only sure thing in life and it always come unannounced.

Oga Seun Please we need all Man city games to be on front page too just as Liverpool

We plead to Our brothers and sisters to tow the path of Honor and Honesty.. let's export Uprightness, Righteousness and good deeds to the nations we go...

For the sake of the Larger Nigerian community let's not spoil this opportunity...

I am in full support of this comment let's not misuse this great opportunity, otherwise it will not take the Ethiopian government anything to exclude our name if we misuse it, we could all see what Tanzania did to us.

Earlier this week, Tanzania announced that it will no longer issue visa to nationals of some African countries, including Nigeria. However, Africans can now rejoice as Ethiopia has announced it will start giving visa to African travellers on arrival.

It is learnt that Ethiopian President, Mulatu Teshome shared the news with the parliament as part of Ethiopia’s contribution to the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement.

It is further gathered that other African countries are expected to make the same move by 2023.

Power generation and electricity in Kwara

Under Saraki, Kwara became the first state to complete the Nigeria Independent Power Project. In collaboration with the Power Holding Company of Nigeria , Saraki re-energised the Ganmo Power Station at Ilorin, and connected over 3750 rural communities to the national grid through the development and installation of 725 transformers and 7 substations. Kwara also completed 4 electrification projects which meant power became stable 18–22 hours a day. 90% of people living in Kwara have access to electricity, compared to a national average in Nigeria of 30%.

My brother this is not the situation at the moment
Kwara has one of the worst electricity in Nigeria.

This rule sounds harsh in fact l have never heard or read such before, there are many ways divorce can occur in marriage aside from infidelity as long as it makes sense. In Islam, divorce can happen in any form or way as long as it is in line with Islamic law.

Rexnegro:
are u sure it is not up to 1000usd bta ?

Yes 1000usd or more will be perfect but if she has 500usd and tell them she has some decent cash on her card, she should be good to go. Note: they may or may not ask for BTA but always prepare for it in case they do.

I saw this mind blowing post about my dear country on Quora written by a Nigerian and l thought this is worth sharing.


I was actually waiting for this question, so I could show the world how much Nigeria means to them.

Let's Ride…….

"A Russian saw me in my office and said where are you from , i said am from the greatest country in the world. He looked at me with a very strange look and said let me guess u are from Nigeria , I said yes. Out of curiosity he said considering whats happening in your country now why would you say shes the best in the world and I asked him to sit down and let me tell him what he and most people dont not know about Great Nigeria and I told him these;

Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by

which others measure themselves? Do you know?

1. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated.

2. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

3. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.

4. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.

5. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

6. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a supertalented Nigerian from Sokoto State.

7. The World’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world’s fastest computer: a Nigerian.

8. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.

9. South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.

10. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.

OK… I have gotten to 10, but I just would not stop till I get you convince Nigeria is king worldwide.

11. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.

12. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power.

13. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil.

14. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask.

15. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.

16. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don’t be lied to.

17. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station...Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you’ll not get the full & true picture of your Nigerian heritage...We’re not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness...

Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:

18. On the 7th of May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. The entire world still envies our uniqueness as a NATION, living together despite our ethnic diversity. One single country with over 400 languages. They will only tell you how Nigerians are scammers and cheats, how Nigerians are into drugs overseas. If you don’t blow your trumpet, no one will blow it for you.

19. There are over 180,000,000 Nigerians world over and only about 250,000 of this figure have traceable criminal records. This is about 0.14% of our entire national population in the last 20 years: nothing close to 1%. Shame on global media. Listen Nigeria, don't let anybody woo you into believing that you are a criminal just because you are a Nigerian. Nigerians are NOT criminals. You are NOT a criminal. You are topnotch; second to none around the world.

I am proud am created a Nigerian, thank you God. Be proud of Nigeria wherever you go. Take out your Passport with pride. He couldnt talk and just walked away. Am proud to be a Nigerian and be from that country....

God bless Federal Republic Of Great Nigeria...”

Good evening my travellanders ( I'm guessing that's what regular visitors to the travel section are called ) , I intend to travel to Uganda in December to see a friend and I have no clue on what to expect and the easiest way to get there ( also the cheapest ). Anybody with useful info can share it on this thread. Is it better ( and cheaper , I have to emphasize this as I don't have so much to spare ) to go by road or to fly , also I'll like to know what other things to expect and how much it will likely cost for a ten day visit.

As a Nigerian you have two options either you apply for the visa prior to your emberkation or you get it on arrival in Kampala for 50USD.

As for your itinerary l think Ethiopia, Rwanda or Kenya airways is your best best make sure you have some BTA with you atleast 500USD, Bon voyage.

RichForever7:
where is the gulf region?

KUWAIT, OMAN, SAUDI ARABIA, QATAR, BAHRAIN AND UAE

Nice write up please push this to the promise Land

I don't think this stats is accurate, Angola is perfect for the number 1 spot that city is crazily expensive , but as for Chad l am not sure of that. Abuja is only Expensive in terms of accomodation, food, transport etc are averagely priced in Abuja. But l don't think Lagos or any Nigerian city should be on the list, if you have traveled to Abidjan and some other capital cities in Africa, you will know Lagos is not expensive. A single room self con in a ghetto area of Abidjan can go high as 15 to 18k Naira per month, calculate that in 12 months then you will appreciate the price you pay to your Landlord in areas like Iya Ipaja, Abesan, Idimu, infact Alimosho in general and some not too expensive areas in Lagos.

wambai80:
Less than two days from Lagos

Gambia is more than 2 days by road ooo but l guess you should enjoy the trip it should be 3 days or few hours less than 3 days.

on point

Phurlareen44:
This thread has been very insightful.. I will like to know how lucrative it is by selling and supplying building materials, majorly roofing sheets , Windows and tiles.
Pls our brothers in Abidjan should enlighten me on this. Is it profitable investing in building materials in Abidjan or better still invest in other types of businesses? Moreso, I will also like to know lucrative businesses that are trending presently in Abidjan that can fetch me cool cash. I am presently in Lagos and planning relocating to Abidjan.Thanks and anticipating your reply. You can reach me on Phurlar@gmail.com.

My friend there are more than 1 Million Nigerians in Abidjan alone but with very few Nigeria bakeries. If you have the cash then go for bakery but it requires planning and adequate supervision. Transport business is not a bad idea too if you package your company very well and make it cheaper, Nigerians travel from Abidjan to Nigeria almost everyday but you can schedule your departure to twice a week it's very lucrative too but you must talk to people that have great experience in this.

Brilliant thread

To even think Nigeria got her independence before Singapore and they are 100000 miles ahead of us is pitiable and we were both colonised by the British. Singapore is just magnificent in everything and they presently have the best passport in the World, one of the best transport systems and health care. though their country is the most expensive place to live in the world but you will surely enjoy life if you have a great job and the right paparwork as portrayed by huge number of expats living there.

Ma Sha Allah Barakallahufeekum!

This Op should be employed by CNN, BBC and ALJAZEERA put together, you are a magnificent story teller

Alhamdulilah this is long overdue

obaxlove:
Thank you bro. Maybe I will try and explore the Abuja option because I’m planning toward November, maybe things would have changed before then.
But I read on their website that someone will need a yellow card not less than 10days before departure.

How true is this?

Yellow card is one of the easiest thing to get in Nigeria just go to any General Hospital to get it. They do not ask me for Yellow card last time l visited but getting it before embarkation will not hurt.

obaxlove:
Please do a Nigeria need to apply for visa online before going to Rwanda or you can get visa on arrival without applying online. Again, I heard about yellow card- can someone help with this info??

NO, you do not need a visa prior to your departure here in Nigeria you will get one at the point of entry at their airport in Kigali for 30USD for a duration of 1 month. Please make sure you book an hotel or have invitation from your host there detailing his/her responsibility to host you throughout your stay in the country. Alternatively you can also get their sticker visa in Abuja whichever one you prefer the choice is yours. Mind you Kigali is a bit expensive than Nigeria so try to load some cash with you the Immigration officers may or may not ask for BTA just look smart, decent and confident. BON VOYAGE!

Wow typical Ilorin man

Nice tips and should ask if l employed how much is my salary

This is extremely bad They should be deported asap.
