AryEmber:
Things like electronics maybe. I'm not from Akure though, I merely school there.

Futa?

AryEmber:
I believe folks living in Lagos are trying, I thought Akure is bad but this place is worse! Everything is expensive and another thing that drives me nuts is the noise. Thank God for my home.

not everything. You can get a lot of cheap things here. Why are we all from akure?

SweetBuns:
is there land for sale there?

there are, question is how many people can afford it? It is easier to get land on lekki than in ikeja.

DanDeeBoss:
Average for private schools I know here in Minna is 15-20k for a term but you can get that of 8-10k

not sure about other parts of lagos, but in ikeja, schools are damn expensive (at least compared to what you get in many other states) and somehow people want their kids in the good schools around so you end up paying much just to have your kids in the top schools. There are no spaces to build standard schools here, so those who can afford to build standard schools here end up charging very high

gensteejay:
I don't care about your opinion as regards what I said nor do I give a damn about your nonsensical atheistic ideals.

Don't quote me again to behave like an immature kid!

ok sir!

SweetBuns:
1. First off, Nigeria is a great country. You just haven't travelled wide enough to see it.
2. Price of stuffs varies with geographical locations so don't compare.
3. Your method of eating differs from his. Good and fine. Different strokes for different folks.
4. How is Niger like? I'd like to know

i dont think he criticised me in anyway, he just shared his own lifestyle.

Yes nigeria is really an amazing and interesting country. Amazingly corrupt and backward in many crucial areas too unfortunately. None the less very blessed country

gensteejay:
If one says some Nl atheists suffer from a psychological, maniac condition, one may not be far from the truth.

because they expose your bullshiit?

gensteejay:
I don't have time for your immature, puerile tripe. Don't ever quote me again!

was expecting this and i intentionally provoked you.

Tallesty1:
Nigeria is not an amazing country. I can't say much because I don't know the quantity/size but the price of groundnut is on the high side here compared to other northern states.
With 150k you can get a clean two bedroom flats here. Though it depends on the street, that same amount can only get a self con at APC quarters. I don't like eating out, I cook almost everything I eat when I am at home. With 7k, I can cook three different soups and still have some change. A plate of food in restaurants here is between N250-500.
An average hotel room costs N5k here, you can get cleans ones with N2k though. It is about location and environment.
Never had any business with these ones so I have nothing to say.
My location is Suleja, Niger state

wow! Thanks bro. What isthe average cost of shool fees for a year (primary school) over there

gensteejay:
NDEs may not be apt term to describe all the observed cases. The term is used to describe a number of situations, related to death or impeding death.

I use "NDE" or akudaya here to refer to specific cases of individuals that were pronounced clinically dead and came back to life, or were buried and still observed by few people in another place, leading a normal life.

This serves as proof of some people leading multiple lives.

I don't use "NDE" to refer to cases of impending death, such as one having a close brush with death in a road accident, for example.

If something happens and is reported once or twice, it could be seen as a sham. But if there are over 50 reports of different cases about that thing, it's logical to regard such reports as having candor.

so NDE and akudaya are the same thing to you? They are absolutely different and yet you keep using the terms together. You dont even know what you are saying

LordReed:
NDEs are not proof of reincarnation, they are proof people have NDEs. The large volume doesn't address the fact that NDEs do not prove anything beyond NDEs.

I don't want proof of NDE, I want proof of multiple lives.

good one lord reed.

SweetBuns:
really? I'm planning to get the hell outta here. No job opportunities at all

exactly! Osogbo is miles better than akure believe me. Akure is just big for nothing. Lagos is the most interesting place in nigeria believe me. Lagos has everything the good and bad.
Opportunities abound and you can really become 'big' here.

SweetBuns:
Well, life is not that hard here in akure!

life aint hard here in lagos either.

I lived in akure for about 7years +

Lol. I be bookworm so my grades were cool

sorry to bust your bubble, you are very daft. I have just been reading your comments in silence cos there is no point telling someone as daft as you how daft he is, but just could not help it any more.

You are a graduate of physics yet nothing empirical has been presented to support your arguments. No logic or sound philosophy yet you claim to be a book warm. You are the gabage in - gabage out graduates that nigerian universities are creating. You just cram stuff but lack ability to think

Posting this here so as to get good participation.

I am creating this thread because Nigeria is a really amazing country where almost everything contracts from state to state. From culture, to language, and even cost of living.

Today i met an hausa boy complaining that the groundnut being sold for N50 in Lagos (ikeja) costs only N5 in Sokoto. that is a whooping 1000% difference in price.

about a week ago a friend of mine from Akure called me and asked me to help her get an accommodation along Allen or Opebi, i asked her for her budget and she said N150k. I almost bust out laughing. Told her to get at least 300k for a self contained apartment (that is just a room with it's kitchen and bathroom). A two bedroom flat costs about 600k (lower average), 3 bedroom would cost over a million naira for most apartments here on allen.

I dont cook, i eat out always. Depending on what i wish to eat, a meal costs me from 300 naira (for street food like my favorite ghanian wanche) to 1500 if i wish to eat at the restaurants around.

Average hotel cost is 15,000 here except you want to go and lodge in the slumps here in ikeja such as ipodo area or ikeja under bridge area, you would get accommodation of 5k. However a good lodging will cost you a minimum of N35k for ibis hotel and the likes. Sheraton is not in my area.

Olosho would cost you 5k for the average ones sha. 10k for the presentable ones (if you know how to bargain)


if you cant spare a minimum of 300k for school fees in a year (primary school) please dont come to lagos else you want your child to go to public school or a mushroom private school.

What else? Ask me any other costs you wish to know along opebi allen in ikeja.

Share key costs of commodities and accommodation in your area

MzNeeyamazing:
Sorry i didnt get the contact info. Can you post it again?

let me have your email addy

Martinez19:
Since when did you make sense?

lol

MzNeeyamazing send your mail to contact@.... removed after some hours

hahn:
I feel it will be better to focus on these ones for now. I have several websites that need funding as in right now sef

cc: hungerbad

no be you? When has hann never needed more money. I fear you o

Rubyventures:
It will be better to give the money raised to some youth who has already started something small but is struggling for finance e.g. in order to expand or buy a better machinery.

The reason being, if given to someone with photocopied business plan , that money will be diverted somewhere else.

great idea!!! Totally seconded

Good one Loj, i hope i would see the multitude of those claiming to have good ideas but no money here. I think most nigerian youths are used to dash-outs. They expect 'helpers' of destiny (as it is said in most prayers) but they are not prepared for delivery when opportunity comes.

This is a welcome development. Seun what do you think?

gensteejay:
They are in metaphysics, a branch of philosophy. I will list some later.

ok, would like to know them

gensteejay:
Yes, there are physical laws. For people, well versed in philosophy, there are also spiritual (not religious) laws.

name some of these spiritual laws pls? Never heard this term with philosophy before

johnydon22:
I disagree

ok.

rhektor:
HardMirror the case of two mirrors continue
You seems to be the one keeping record of Christians here

i am supporting you in your record keeping since you know those who were never christians.

Ovamboland:
Will most of you support Atiku if he had chosen someone from SW or NC as VP candidate?
You only shout tribalism when it's not in your favour, but you desire all the perks of tribalism, you even in insist on ibo presidency or SE time, but to you others must not do it.

ogbeni, i am yoruba from osogbo, olurunda local government to be precise. What are you saying?

Anas09:
I'd ve answered you if it was someone who has any iota of truth in his mouth or any fiber of integrity. But you Hardmirror? Na. I don't talk to thieves. Have a good day kid.

lol. Thieves? What did i steal from you old woman?

The supposed consequences. What afterlife are you talking about?

gensteejay:
Lol, says an atheist. Which of those concepts are myths?

gensteejay:
The politician will bear the consequences of his evil actions if not in this lifetime, in his next life.

What is your view on consciousness, soul, reincarnation?

ok. Now i understand you. You believe in myths as facts
