One by one, they have started moving. As long as the oppsitions keep blaming Tinubu, another opposition for their flaws, unfortunately, they will never get it right .

Travel › Re: How I Almost Got Myself Killed As A Keke Rider. by Gr8mind07(m): 8:09am On Mar 29
Is this a content or something else ? I don't get.
The story has a deep taste of a myth. It would have made a perfect post on April , 1st.
Obaxxx:
Good day to every Nairalander out there. Hope y'all are having a nice weekend.

Exactly 3 years ago, there was a scenario that almost got me killed. On one fateful day,I got a call from a friend of mine. He asked me if I would be able to take his fiancee to her home town which is in isoko. Before I could name my price, he offered to pay me the sum of 28k, for to and fro. The money looked so good and I obliged to his request. The next thing I saw was an alert of 18k sitting comfortably on my phone,cuz he already had my account details, prior to the fact that we had done several deals together in the past.

So,the following morning which was Sunday,we were set (his fiancee and I) and off we departed to her home town.

Finally we arrived and our arrival was greeted with something I wasn't expecting. The entire community seemed to had gathered and it appeared they were expecting our arrival.

We were ushered into the community's town hall and the eldest man in the community came out. Then he asked my friend's fiancee if I was her fiance and she said yes angry. Of course,I became confused and why would she say yes to that kind of a question angry. Many thoughts began running through my mind at that moment. Next thing I heard,was the community youths ordering us to get up from the chairs we were sitting and sit on the floor angry. Now,the whole video was becoming clearer and it wasn't funny as I thought initially.

"So,na you and your wife gang up sell their only family land abi?" The eldest man asked me in isoko language. (Of course,that's my maternal dialect and I understands it).



"Please,what land are they talking about?" I replied, looking at my friend's fiancee angry

At this moment, the town hall was already becoming hot,as the youths were already in the mood to beat the hell out of me,or probably set me on fire for something I had no idea on angry.

The more I tried to explain to them that I was just a Keke rider who was hired to take her there,the more the slaps kept landing on my face. I tried calling my friend but there was no network in the community.

Fortunately,a good Samaritan among them told them to please hear me out. That was when I had the chance to tell them I wasn't her fiance. That I was only paid as a Keke rider to bring her home.

Finally,she apologized to the community elders and youths,and transfered 3 million naira into the community account,with a promise to pay a balance of 2 million naira by the end of the month.

Finally,we were released. I was so furious and wish I could get my hands on my friend right away so that I can strangle the hell out of him angry. Cuz if he had told me what the intention behind the journey was,I wouldn't have embarked on it ,no matter how enticing the money was angry. It all looked like a set up.

From that day,I knew that wasn't the kind of friendship I needed. I cut him off but tho we do see each other these days,but we only exchange pleasantries and go our separate ways.

Travel › Re: Swedish Admissions And Student Visa by Gr8mind07(m): 9:44am On Jan 23
Guys should not discard this information completely , i believe it is not to discourage but to enlight people about the situation on ground .

Coming with scholarship gives a huge soft-landing. Those in IT and Engineering courses also stand better chances , courtesy of international organisations around.

For the fees paying students, you will have to hustle hard to recover the sum invested and the work permit issues too is a threat. However
the place of individual Grace can not be ruled out
Mstick:
Lol!

See them trying to come to Sweden.

Better carry your money to somewhere else.

If you know you’re not going to Sweden with scholarships don’t bother!

The salary cap has been increased to 33,000 plus kronor and which Swedish company wants to pay you that? They will tell you that Swedes speak English but yet the most important requirement to even get an interview is speaking Swedish, so how can you get a job as a newcomer?

Sweden has become extremely hostile towards migrants, don’t be deceived by what you see on YouTube and other platforms, DO NOT DO IT! I realized late.

They’re all liars, they will tell you how they’ve a job and they’re on work permit but when you research they’re cleaners on PSW with no chance of work permit.

Go somewhere else but I know warning will fall on deaf ears so travel and see, come and get your own dose.

Some refered pushers make much more than 100k / month.

But one key fact the OP also mentioned is that the man will not find capacity growth any easy. To raise capital / save fund becomes extremely difficult as the meagre salary is now hardly enough for sustenance talkkess savings

And wheelbarrow pushers are married with 4 children, feeding well.

Many of you want to show off, if your kids don't attend private schools, you will see it as a failure

My salary per month is unstable.

Some months I may see 100k
Others 300k

Not a salary earner sha
Travel › Re: What Are Your Experiences With Accommodation And Lodging While Traveling? by Gr8mind07(m): 12:49pm On Nov 28, 2025
I once had a funny experience in Dubai.

I was looking for a budget friendly hostel and I made reservation online.On arriving, i located the hostel and the manager introduced me to some rooms in the flat with about 6 dirty double - bunked bed,demarcated with curtains in each room .

I had to retrieve immediately and fortunately there were good and not too expensive hotels in the vicinity.
I learnt a lesson that day that costs should not be major drivers of decision

Wike should have related with the senior officers directly. Going to confront the officers acting on Ogas order wasn't necessary at all.
Either the land acquisition is legal or illegal, it's a civil matter which is to totally out of military jurisdiction ,but that last approach by Wike was wrong.

Wike was not tactical enough in approaching the matter, and he lost it
There is no way an officer acting on a superior officer's order would do contrary to instruction, even if it would take his life. However, the guy's ego was somehow deflated the way he was accosted and he couldn't touch them.Those officers so detest it
