youngestgrad: Big guch........This guy beat Zlatan like thief for Milan, show Zlatan say biafrans no dey tolerate bullies. Zlatan said he was the strongest guy he ever fought!!
Ah! you sabi, been waiting for who will bring up this gist. The dude is a giant, him humble Ibra
Smatz: Nigerians and that feeling of entitlement will not help us at this critical times .
Sorry, but this is a very stupid comment. If the idiot of a gov and his brainless cohorts are entitled to fat salaries, then citizens (including you) are entitled to a decent life at the very least.
Any other thing you tell me is born out of stupidity and crass senselessness. It is humans like you like have 24h power, portable water, security and stable lives.
horsepower102: I really feel your pain. You are not hiding it well.
Again small mind mentality on display. I am from Owerri West and I know what Umuguma and world bank looks like after 2 hours of rain. You cannot lie to yourself for too long, grow up, grow some cojones and be an adult.
Personal wealth and achievement is not the ultimate. If you're comfortable with being wealthy and the next person or the community is trash, I'm not like that.
So next time, if you cannot sensibly correct anything wrong in my comment, do yourself a favour and scroll past it, it won't kill you.
horsepower102: This is Owerri for those who dont know the revolution going on in the East. We igbos criticize ourselves the most but it helps to bring out the best in us. No place like home. Aku ruo uno is the cry of this generation.
Igbo people are funny sometimes, just driving through an estate where people built fine houses and you're screaming heaven on earth Lol... I wonder what these local men will do or say when they see Tottenham Hale or Aldsgate in London.
Igbo people usually behave like money missed its way to them, the circle is hustle hard, make money and be comfortable to the point you can show off and preferably oppress/pressure the next man into making his own. That your heaven on earth estate, small rain will fall now and cast everywhere, I doubt if it even has streetlights or CCTV.
Instead of spreading wealth and holding your stupid govts accountable so everyone is comfortable at least, you're showing personal achievement and making noise. That's why public schools, transport and things associated with the common man are still trash, and you think you're wealthy. How many of you can take your friends from abroad to your villages? Make una get shame abeg.
CharleyBright: Are we supposed to celebrate this?? What do you notice in the figures? How did they arrive at these figures?? When these funny people churn out spurious data as this, they already have a game plan at hand. When and where we have issues with figures, we need to contest them vehemently before it is too late. Very soon these doctored and unbalanced data becomes a National Data and a basis and yardsticks for wealth sharing that will give so much to regions that bring nothing to the table at the expense of the regions bringing so much. Once is it accepted, there is no going back on it till thine kingdom come. People of Southern Nigeria, una better shine your eyes. The subtle data u see today will become issues of contention tomorrow.
Don't mind the foolish Southerners arguing b/w Yoruba and Igbo everyday. Educated goats.
OK. Russia has no democracy, President Putin is a dictator, Russia is not civilized, Russia's economy is poorer than other European countries, Russian media are censored, bla bla bla.
So please, come back to Nigeria to develop your homeland. The country is in need of human resources like you to develop. You should also go back to marry Nigerian women. They are waiting for you. Do not try to flirt and pursue Russian women.
Russia doesn't need you running around to make a joke.
monfizzy: Depending on what you’re studying it might be possible to migrate to Britain after you graduated. From next year, the UK will begin a Canada/Australia merit based system for people with some certain skills to move here. So just maybe you might qualify giving that you’re educated abroad.
I'm studying pharmacy and due to graduate in 2023. But I hope to gain some research or even unpaid volunteering or internships within the UK before then. I've been to about ten countries and I don't think I found it easier to blend anywhere as I did in the UK. I guess not needing extra language skills does help.
Inferno001: Mine was a very good and humbling experience..had mixed feelings before I left...immediately I got my visa, I started having this very different feeling in my body sha.. on the day of my trip, my wife who then was still my babe wasn't able to bear it because that was the first time in 3yrs I'll be away from her for longer than a week...got to the airport and it dawned on both of us that it was really gonna happen..she started crying and it got to me and I shed tears also..made promises and we kissed goodbye...immediately I got into the plane, the air automatically became different o.lol...I got to my destination and I immediately realized I was a bush Man o..everything looked new to me even if I had seen them before or at least had ideas of them...things were so orderly and well arranged...the airport was so beautiful...got out after clearance and for the first Time I saw luxurious cars as taxis and wasted my money to enter one o instead of the regular cars sef..got to my apartment and called my girl and told her how it was...was there for 14months and it was a new experience of peace, constant electricity, good roads and obedience to traffic..generally it humbled me to know that it doesn't hurt to follow rules and ever since i got back, wearing of seat belts and obeying traffic stuck with me...was a very beautiful experience..
In all you typed, my own is that you came back for your woman. She must've earned a special place in your heart. Lovely
sholay2011: My first time was when I travelled to Canada in Sept 2015 (and haven't returned yet!). I am not counting my school's field trip to Benin Republic, Shonghai farms. It was like a dream to me because I left Nigeria to further my studies and I had NOBODY where I was going. Just sorted my accommodation online and travelled alone for about 27 hours. Nobody came to receive me from the airport or anything. That was when I truly felt my destiny as much as in God's hands is also now in my hands, not my parent's hands or anything. I grew up quickly within days.
It was after three days I missed home and cried.
Ouch, I relate to this a lot. I didn't even have enough money to spare for a taxi ride to my city on arrival. All by myself, I had to grow up right in the airport, I ended up taking the train on my first day in a country where I knew no one. Crazy experience, has lived with me since then.
monfizzy: Moving to the UK didn’t really know what to expect, I just had dreams and desire to change my life fortune. So when I landed at Heathrow I got my first scare when immigration told me to step aside after asking me why am I in the UK and who am I coming to see. Told them I’m not coming to see anyone but moving permanently to live with my wife (now ex) and they requested for her number and I gave. Then asked me where she is I told them she’s waiting for me at the arrival lounge. They delayed me for about 30mins but throughout the entire time I acted unworried coz I knew cameras were on me to observe my countenance.
Was just playing music with my Beats headsets and nodding my head to the rhythms, but I was worried inside me. I travelled with a residence permit and had all the confidence in-between the worries. So they later let me go and on getting at the arrival lounge saw madam and my brothers waiting for me, immediately I stepped out at Heathrow cold almost blew me off coz it was December period.
I was excited but the airport experience almost destabilised me. Sha thank God, my fortune has indeed changed forever. Now a naturalised citizen with a decent job and with an even promising future. No regrets whatsoever. The environment was a sight to behold. Nigeria would have killed my dreams.
Good for you, London seemed like a different world to me first time I got there. Even though I was from another European country but the difference in class, tech, organisation and decorum, and finally people that you didn't have to ask if they understood English, was clear. Lovely place it seems, though quite expensive for broke students like us. Settling there after studies will be a dream come true.
godofuck231: no body prays for war but when it comes even the strong and ready and strong still falls, there's what some people call vehicular ballistic shield , if his car gets disables, 2 or 3 backup cars intersect and create a shield, mostly 7.62 armoured or bomb shielded cars, and the target is swiched to a backup runner car. this is some high tech sh*t next time try not to challenge what you don't know, simply ask questions with respect
Some of you here are very funny. So what's the point of buying extremely expensive armoured cars? And what about EU Pms I've seen going about with 2 vehicles?
It's funny that the only place Africans measure up and even outclass the rest of the world is when it comes to the lavish lifestyle of their incredulously incompetent politicians. Even funnier is when people like you try to make sense of it. We're the world's poverty capital innit? Let IED blast the bloody governor if he can't secure the lives of ordinary people in his state.
Any order thing you're saying is utter nonsense to me.
justlikedat: Its funny when you hear people saying some are collecting so so amount per week, per month in UK as if they will go home with all the money. In UK, the more your salary, the more your tax, some do pay as much as half of their salary as tax.
imagine that, coupled with the high living cost. Of all cities I've visited, London is by a very far distance the most expensive. By the time I blew over 200 euros in a few hours, I understood the London struggle.
tot: True but temperatures drop quite low at night, and the heating on the bus can not be compared to what you have in a home and can control yourself. The poor guy. I feel for him.
Yeah, he's really had it tough. The mental strength to not give up on life is something huge. If only we can all be that strong, rather suicide keeps cutting lives short.
tot: I wonder how he coped during the winter with all that cold. Glad he has a chance to start a new chapter of his life.
The UK isn't that cold plus most public transport systems are well heated. I bet he got used to it too. A place like Ukraine, Finland or Kazakhstan then hypothermia may have had its way a long time ago.
nextstep: Who owns the thousands of factories in Lagos, Ogun, Kano, Anambra? No be human being? What about all the large farms sprouting about, being done by youths? Those new tech startups that we were were just boasting about yesterday (which are more than in South Africa)? All those established, new, upcoming artists? Have you seen the level of construction around the country? Estates, country homes, business offices, hospitals? By private individuals.
I can point to several Instagram ladies making good money selling hair, shoes, bags. Comedians nko? Bloggers nko? This nairaland? Travel agency owners? Record labels? Movie industry? These are all things being done by relatively young Nigerians.
You are not thinking holistically. How many of us can be Wizkid and Burna boy? How many people can the entertainment and comedy circle accommodate? We're talking opportunities available for millions and not a select few. Ask yourself where all your high school or college graduates are today. How many are feeding off what they studied?
TochiPhotos: So yesterday I met a nairalander. He lives in London but decided to visit Russia for a few days and I was happy when he told me my diary heavily influenced his decision to visit Russia.
He arrived at Saint Petersburg Yesterday morning and I went to meet and show him around the city after my lectures ended in the evening.
He initially bought flight tickets to Moscow and back to London, but when he found out I'm based in Saint Petersburg he changed his itinerary so we could meet for a day before he continues to Moscow and then back to London on Sunday. So he will spend 3 days in Russia which I think it's a really short time to explore and truly experience the beauty of Russia.
After my lectures, I went to meet him and we started our night with a short walk around Nevsky prospekt, he wanted to visit the faberge museum which is also located near Nevsky but we couldn't make it there before the closing time, so we decided to have dinner first cos we were both starving hahaha.
I took him to this really nice Chinese restaurant located in an obscure market that is the Lagos equivalent of Idumota market hahaha. It's one of my favorite places to eat because their food is spicy and delicious, and most importantly, they serve really large portions just like jevinik for Naija hahaha. Funny thing, I ordered my special for him and when they brought the food, he told me he was allergic to one of the ingredients, so I ended up eating two portions of that large meal while he ordered something else. I won't lie I put fear for my guy face cos the speed wey I take finish that big bowl of Chinese my guy go dey wonder whether I been dey starve before hahahaha but i'm just a foodie with high metabolism.
Afterwards, we walked to the Hermitage. We couldn't enter the museum because it was closed. We headed to Dumskaya street. Dumskaya is a street in the center of Saint Petersburg that houses all the major bars and nightclubs. We got there around 11pm which is too early because most of them open by 12 so we decided to go to a Strip club. It was my first time visiting a strip club in Saint Petersburg so I was a bit shy and didn't know how to act. It was really fun and exciting but something really funny and embarrassing happened. I don't know how to act in strip clubs cos it's kinda my first time so when one of the girls came to dance for me, instead of vibing with her and having fun, I turn I'm to therapy sessions. She first started it by sitting on my lap, been all flirty, asking my name, telling me cute things, I come forget say na her work she dey do and I think say we dey relate normal, so I started asking about her life, her dreams, her plans for the future etc, before you know am, na so we come forget dance siddon dey get deep conversation about life hahaha and plans for the future hahaha. After an hour we left the place and we to a bar.
Most of the bars were empty because it was a Thursday night and still too early. We went to the only bar that plays American hip hop, danced, the na black guy so he played some Burna Boy for us. We met two lovely girls afterwards and invited them to our table and got to know each other better. It was a really nice night That's what I was up to yesterday. Mr L, the nairalander is currently in Moscow now but he said he will visit again in the summer so I'm excitedly looking forward to his next visit. He is a really nice guy.
Whew, so school don start it's back to the crazy busy schedule and deadlines smh.
That strip club girl part made me laugh so hard. If I was there, I'd laugh at you mercilessly
KingAzubuike: Ever since this bullshìt started, many nairalanders have shown their true colors. They've shown that they know nothing and carry empty heads.
One was arguing with me that Israel is more advanced than China in military technology
Another said Israel has a stronger military than Pakistan, India and turkey.
Another claimed Russia begs Israel for technology.
Another said Iran is no match for Israel and the Persians would be crushed like a bug.
. Well I can't blame them . 2018 Shiloh I was there live when Oyedepo claimed Israel was the most powerful nation on Earth and they have an economy that cannot be rivalled. Many of you shouting and screaming Israel up and down know nothing about international politics and how it's works and are only religiously sentimental. That small country is only a puppet of the western world created to distabilize the middle East. They get rewarded with weapons here and there for their loyalty and asslicking. It was worse during the regime of Ariel Sharon and that of olmert. The same Israel isn't even among the ten most powerful military in the world yet someone had the guts to say after Russia and USA, they come next lol. If not for the substandard Machatz-1 drones they produce and export to needing nations like Saudi Arabia which are inferior to their rq5 and mq1 counterparts as well as their Tavor rifle, and the tips they get from their sugar daddies in the west, nobody would have been saying all these.
You're very funny. If you know so much, you would know war is like a rant. Some countries like the US make much noise showing off how much weaponry they have and perhaps overstating their military might while others are discreet, not letting anyone know how deadly they are.
So, you don't know for sure which country is the strongest until war is served. Quit the conspiracy theories, even those in MI6 and Mossad don't know it all. It's all noise, hype and speculation.

Please if I forgot your username no vex for me abeg. Also major shout out to all the silent readers as well.
I want to quickly apologize for the lack of updates. I'm going through a really difficult time in my life. The last quarter of 2019 was really difficult for me. 2019 began well for me but ended up been of the worst years of my life. My friend is still in coma, my dad is sick and was hospitalized just before Christmas, I'm depressed and increasingly lacking in self motivation. I really don't want to go into details but I hope there is light at the end of the tunnel because I'm tired of everything. Forget about the smiles in videos and pics, your boy is going through hell.
I really wish I could write more but my mind is blank cos I'm too sad and depressed to articulate my thoughts and put my feelings in writing.
I'm trying to cheer up and be more positive and I hope 2020 will be a good year for me and for each and everyone of you reading this.
About my Christmas,I traveled to Moscow with my friends, I haven't been to Moscow in over a year so I decided to visit with my friends and also shoot a video in Red Square for my channel. My Uni's official holiday started on the 27th and will last for one week. Russian's celebrate their Christmas on the 8th of January, so the 25th of December was like every other day. We had exams and people went to work as usual. The biggest celebration for Russians is New Year, lots of fireworks and fancy decorations all through the city. I spent 3 days in Moscow and returned to Saint Petersburg on the 30th.
On New Year's Eve, my friend's family invited me for dinner and we had dinner with his parents, GrandMa and some other relatives and ushered in the New Year together. It was a really wonderful experience, and afterwards we went to a Bar in the city center to dance and celebrate New Year.
There was a video I shot where I asked Russians to mention 10 African countries they know and win $100 it's funny cos I actually didn't have $100 to give them cos I wrongly assumed no one will answer correctly lmao omo the guy that won wanted to fight me sha but we later reached an agreement and I bought him coffee instead lol.
Bro, I'm happy that despite everything you're going through you can still voice it all out and hope for the best. I understand how just typing out those sentences can be like the most difficult thing to do sometimes.
But like the other guy said, it's all a phase and you may think you've already had your fair share of challenges ( I thought so too at some point in my life) but struggles are part of life, and they're what makes our life a better story to tell and inspire others. Just be strong, you really don't have an option. Tell yourself that this phase will pass and you don't want to be forever broken when it's all over (you will seem like someone who saw a promised land but didn't enter it).
Stay strong bro, it's all you got, find solace in God, don't be ashamed to seek help from him even though you two haven't been in best terms before, he actually doesn't care and he's always ready to help. Calm your soul, one day you'll come back to all these messages with smiles.
Keep serving us our videos hot hot. Enjoy your Russian christmas and happy new year. Goodluck with the exams and everything.
tex73: I'm blessed to marry a very good Christian lady from Kogi(yoruba) and i am Delta(ibo). Came to niaja in search of a lady after being in d US for over 5 years. Did not like d one i had being talking to over d phone for over a year, did not want to trap myself with someone i didnt love or like very much.
I had a week left for my naija stay until a childhood friend asked me to leave my hotel and spend the last week in his house. He forgot he had a sister in law that was at d age for marriage and actually was planning to introduce me to one or two female friends he had, hoping i could like them. He forgot about his wife's younger sister because she was so into her studies at IFE and she hardly came back home during holidays, she was locked down at OAU. God was good to me because it was just as i visited naija that this beautiful lady was having a breather from OAU after she had finished her last set of exams. It was when she called her sister to tell her that she had finished her last exams and was in their parent's home that my friend remembered that he had an in law that may like me. My friend told her about me immediately and told her that we would come visiting d next day.
The next day we visited n i saw her in d living room, all cleaned up of course because she was expecting us. We talked for a while and saw that we had so much in common, especially that we both had Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. I departed for the US shortly. we spoke on the phone everyday for about a year, untill i came back to niaja to propose to her. Thank God she used all that time to do her housemanship in LUTH. See how God blessed me. I came back again for the wedding proper but she didn't go back with me untill my filling (travel documents) for her came through( 6 months) . she came to the US and joined me in my one bedroom apartment. We moved to two when we were expecting baby # one.
We planned that she didnt work but focus on her 3 tough exams in order for her to practice medicine in the US. In all exams she scored a 99% percentile ( she's a brain). Shes one of the best Docs a patient can ask for and is practicing in a top hospital. We have two kids and she's getting even prettier as we age. Married for ten years now. Glory to God.
OH LORD!
Do your work Lord! Brother, you're blessed. You're settled, in fact your days already look lengthened. Please never take what you have for granted, nurture your family and love it like your own life depends on it cos it actually does. Wish you all the best.
fredoooooo: Eastern europe is worse than Africa ... don't be deceive by what you see on TV .
It is not! No need for the lies please. When was the last time you left almighty Lagos and Abuja and went to cradles of poverty in other unknown towns?
Wealth for wealth, Nigeria can buy almost half of the European countries, but they still have basic amenities even for their poorest of the poor while wealth is hoarded among the select few in Nigeria. Remember Africa also includes Malawi, Somalia, Mozambique and its likes too...
[/quote]7[quote author= post=85130802]If they did the right thing will anyone drag and insult them?
This hate wey u carry for head like gala for ur country no be small tin o! Sho!!
Wetin concern Nigeria police with the corruption and bad attitude of Croatian police force now?!
Hatred kill faster than HIV o!
Any slight opportunity to drag the country's name in the mud, no dey pass una.
Small small biko!
Anyways, GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
You better park go Cameroun go meet una saviour! Yeye dey smell.
Anyways, we dey come.........
God bless which Nigeria? Do you even use your brains at all?
In a sane country, the bloody ambassador of that advanced shithole will be peeing in his pants by now offering explanations. But it's Naija, no apology, no word from the govt, no punishment for the stupid policemen, nothing!
Imagine ordinary Croatia that Lagos can buy 3 times over.
It's not your fault, step out of Naija and be treated like trash then you'll know what it feels like. And to think that you're supposed to be part of the educated Nigerians to demand more from their leadership baffles me.
May you eventually find sense someday, even if it means finding it on your deathbed.
