Not my President, on ObiDatti I stand

Peter Obi travels economy class, as a president, I believe that he would reduce the size and frequency of use of the Presidential fleet. The united States Presidential fleet consists of only two aircrafts that has been in use since 1990 so why should the Nigerian presidential fleet consist of ten aircrafts? The funniest aspect was that Buhari promised to reduce the size of the Presidential fleet during the 2015 campaign, seven years later, he hasn't done so.

This man should just go and rest.

Opoki:
You sabi, your analysis are spot on

stop letting out the goats at night, leopards are nocturnal animals, they hide and rest during the day and hunt at night, all cats are also good at jumping and climbing.

Warm greetings guys. I wanna go into cassava farming. I'm very serious about it. Could anyone with experience please give a breakdown of what it would cost to produce 1 hectre (2.5 acres) of cassava? And the expected profit margin too.

I'm also planning to go large scale on this, I understand that a hectare of well managed cassava would yield at least 30 tons of cassava, a ton of cassava is currently been sold at 50k on jiji so you should do the maths.

Education is a big scam everywhere.. They just make us read all these things that'll never benefit us in the future.

You'd go to school, finish on record time and get that degree, but when it's time to apply for a job, they'll tell you that you must have a 4 or 5 years of working experience, like where do you expect someone who's fresh from varsity to get that kind of experience?

Next thing you start doing some piece jobs like internships or learnerships to get that working experience, you apply again, only for them to tell you that you must own a car. Like where do you expect the person to get money to buy a car when he or she has never had a good paying job?

You finally manage to get a cheap second hand car, and they now tell you that you must be fluent in Afrikaans, as if we still live in the apartheid era.

hahaha, the truth is that the educational system prepares us poorly for the workplace because most of what we learnt in school isn't applicable to the workplace. Those who have skills valued by employers aren't made to pass through all those unnecessary stress to get a job, take a look at those in medical fields. I have taught myself building design and construction, I hope to gradually switch over to the profession, I also want to retire to a small horticulture farm in future. I'm still planning things out. When . I have kids, I would teach them to pursue skills rather than paper certificates.

Samantha123:
But don't give up on teaching, those kids need you.

We wouldn't be where we are right now if it wasn't because of the teachers.

Don't give, just find something to do on the side while you continue teaching.

Most teachers here also have their own businesses on the side.

lol, I currently don't have much option but I'm honestly tilting over to building construction and maybe software engineering in a few years time. Education is a big scam in Nigeria.

Samantha123:
Well, mathematics was showing me flames, so I had to drop it.

You guys are really underpaid, #45000 here is like R1800 and #25000 is like R960.

minimum wage here is #30,000($42) per month and many if not most people earn less than that.

Samantha123:
I enjoy reading only if it's for personal pleasure and not because it's school related.. I do have a number of novels both in English and Sepedi.

For example, back in high school I didn't do history as a subject, but whenever my sister was home for the school holidays, you'd find me busy reading her history books instead of reading my own books... .. And in most cases I'd read and finish the entire book.

I think my introvert nature was the one that helped me finish school on record time.

I didn't do mathematics or economics back in high school.


What is the estimated salary of an average teacher in Nigeria, you don't have to tell me the exact salary.

hmm, mathematics is compulsory for all students at all levels in Nigerian secondary schools, economics almost the same. Telling you Nigerian salaries wouldn't make any sense to you because of the massive depreciation of our currency under the current President, in my state, government school teachers starts from #45,000 ( $63) per month while private and missionary schools starts at about half the amount #20,000-#25,000 ( #35) per month. It's actually lower than that if you convert with the dollar buying rate instead of the selling rate.

Let the women help themselves first by making themselves marriable, even many of them are divorcees and slay mamas. The average Nigerian lady is a burden in marriage due to the perpetuation of self hurting beliefs among them.

Samantha123:
When you say unruly and uninterested in their studies, it's like you're talking about me..

I honestly don't know how I finished school on record time because I never took it seriously.. Even my own mother used to think that I wouldn't finish school because she's never seen me with books and studying hard..

When you say poor pay, how much do teachers usually earn in your country?

hmm, I was a very studious student and still studies a lot in my private time, I hate unruliness with passion, a student fainted two days ago after been pushed by a classmate. Teachers shamefully are the least paid professionals especially in private and missionary owned schools, you can see the constant threads making the Nairaland front-page concerning teachers low pay and unfriendly working conditions, colleagues are leaving en masse leading to a somewhat teacher shortage in the country. Why don't you like studies especially as an introvert? Nothing keeps better company than a book be it on mathematics, economics, architecture etc. It's my favourite pass time.

Samantha123:
Why wouldn't you be tired when you're a teacher, how do you handle those little demons in school?

hmm, it's a secondary school with about a thousand students in semi high rise buildings with no lifts, I don't understand modern kids, so unruly and uninterested in their studies ( some not all) some members of the staff are no better themselves. I love teaching but I'm losing interest in it over poor pay,lack of appreciation, working place politics etc. I'm honestly thinking of changing profession but the economy is not encouraging for that move right now.

Samantha123:
Lol.. like I said before, I don't like arguments or trolling people, as long as my buttons are not pressed.

But I'm sure that even if someone starts an argument right now, I'd just read and move because I really don't have the energy right now.

I only have few errands to run, and after that, I'll be spending my day indoors writing my book because I hardly have time for it during the week and I'm really hoping to release it somewhere early next year.

Yours?

I have a lot of chores to do so that i can have some free block time tomorrow evening to visit my hometown, honestly I'm feeling too tired to get off the bed( it's 8.00am here) I'm physically exhausted.

Samantha123:
What's the use of saying unpleasant things about my country when I only said nothing but the truth?

Anyway, I don't have any energy for arguments at the moment.. cheers.

you always have energy for banters, trolling recharges your battery. How are you spending this Saturday morning?

Samantha123:
So, telling the bitter truth means I'm a troll?

Well, okay, you're entitled to your own opinion at the end of the day...

I can say a lot of unpleasant but honest things about South Africans to you but the world doesn't need that negative energy. Let's say what only glorifies each other, black Africa doesn't need that negative energy among us. Cheers.

Samantha123:
I don't know much about Nigerian women, I've never been friends or been close to one before.. most of the time I only see them in some Nigerian movies, YouTube, or music videos.

That's the thing, those who have testified about your sex abilities are those gold diggers that I'm talking about, the only thing that they can give you guys in return is nothing but sex.. it's just like you guys paying to sleep with prostitutes because I'm telling you, most of those SA women that are praising you are just loose gold diggers who are willing to sleep their way to make quick cash because you guys are known to use money to buy their love.

I've heard similar stories before, it's not only the YouTuber.

I'm not trying to console myself, I just don't see any dignity in a man sleeping with prostitutes and bragging about it.

you my friend is a trouble maker and online troll.

Salvador1:
Kadaria Ahmed: Willie Obiano said you left some debt and did not pay contractors as Governor is this allegation true?

Peter Obi : If any contractor can come forward with evidence that I did not pay them as Governor before I left office for the work done I will stop campaigning.

I am not supporting rubbish!

Peter Obi's self confidence is intimidating.

Hi everyone. I'm a popular moniker on the Politics section, however, I am currently going through some turmoil in my marriage. I cant use my main moniker because of politics ish...

Few years ago (about 4 years now), I moved to Canada with an F1 Visa. At that point, I was only 28 and married with the woman I loved. We had a daughter. However, While I was in school doing my MSc, my wife came in the second year as a dependant, together with our baby. A little over a year, she started complainning about the mundane and boring lifestyle we were living in Canada. I convinced our stay in Canada is not forever, as I equally planned to move back home once I saved enough and had a child while we stay so the baby can be a citizen. Figured she could no longer cope, and perhaps the Winter wasnt really helping matter. Because of her, I wasnt staying in a Shared appartment and was paying heavily for rent, bought a decent TV so she could occupied herself with that while I am in school. Despite her mum's and family pleas, she turned deaf ears decided to move back to Nigeria, a situation I didnt find so comforting because I became terribly lonely after she left. I started working shortly after my program and made plan with her family to set her up in business in Nigeria.

Early this year, my guys back home started telling me how they often see her in club royale partying with friends. I didnt take this serious untill I started to noticed some strange whenever I called her. She stopped doing video call with me without reasons, and there are times when we would have plan to have some sexy talks on phone during the night and she would dissapoint. I asked her about the party things and she excused that with loneliness. I planned to go visit Naija by December because I missed my daughter and wife too, but tbh, I dont know the situation of things as I am scared my wife has probably been cheating on me. And I have not inform her yet of my coming home.

guy remove your mind there, just make sure that your daughter and future children with her are biologically yours. Don't ever bring her back to Canada and don't be stupid enough to relocate back to Nigeria now with the current socioeconomic situation. Work hard and save money should be your motto now. Be very discrete and diplomatic in checking the true paternity of your children, don't annoy an innocent woman by mistake.

Osewa03:
She can't work with an F2 Visa in Canada. She'll be indoor while her husband will go work. It might not be a case of laziness. And is the husband treating her good is also another question one should ask

so if her husband is not treating her "good", she should start cheating and clubbing without his knowledge? Hmm

I support him 100%, same faith ticket be it Muslim Muslim or Christian Christian should be rejected by all well meaning Nigerian voters.

She was even advertising her country to attract more Nigerian workers and students, the British are only after their interests, they can't pull themselves down to satisfy the clueless government of Buhari.

Imagine a ruling party fielding a Christian Christian ticket with a sitting Christian president? The Muslims would have thrown the country into war by now

Tinubu should tell us the primary and secondary schools that he attended before we even start discussing the authenticity of his university certificate.

Why risk your stable relationship for a girl who's relationship doesn't last for two months?

Mynd44,nlfpm,oa4mj

Sofialuv:
so wat do you intend to do

I left her, I had no choice.

Please, which primary and secondary school did Tinubu attend? Who're his classmates?

The speech sounds like a direct attack on Buhari, it was a summary of the failed Buhari regime that Tinubu wants to continue from where they stopped.

fineboynl:
One mistake you would make is looking for a wife. Them nor de look for better wife. It will come by itself then you will know this is the one and knows what to do next.

This one you are in hurry looking for wife you will enter one chance oh.

Calm down and forget about you he wife thing and focus on yourself

I'm almost forty,age is not on my side anymore.

Samantha123:
I'm from Polokwane, but I currently reside in Durban.

I'm an introvert, so I spent most of my free time indoors either watching some documentaries, movies, crocheting because I'm also a crochet designer, even though I just take it as a hobby, but I'm also hoping of turning it into a business in the nearest future, I also do freelancing during my spare time just to make that extra cash.. , and I'm currently busy writing my first book, it's not easy, but I'm excited at the same time.. so I'm an author in the making..

As for work, I'm a law graduate, but I'm currently working as a legal administrator because after graduation, I decided that I needed a break from school and books in general because some of us never really liked school.. .. So, I'm taking a break from school for at least 2 or 3 years, after that, I'll then further my law education and become an advocate.

you forgot to add that your favourite hobby is online trolling and trouble making , well, I'm a restless spirit and trying to explain myself would need a book written. I'm a secondary school teacher and building designer who have dabbled into a few side hustles and hobbies in my lifetime, I'll explain more about myself with time and I like school . For a start I'm currently learning software engineering on my spare time, I want to retire early to a small farm producing irrigated vegetables and fruits, fishes,poultry and pigs. That seems to be my current obsession . What's your book about?

PO is a very humble man, quick recovery to Mrs Beatrice Itubo.

Sofialuv:
the way you talk to her was not good

I talk to her with respect because I was afraid of her quarrel, cohabiting with her was hellish.
