North has their strengths

The strenght was in the past not anymore... When your people stop supply of agric produce down south, is there any complain? That's where you should know that una don loose relevance now.... How many alhaji fit buy a cow for a million naira, abi a bascket of tomatoes for 40k... It only in the souther part of the country despite packing una self full all federal government offices waiting una achieve with it... Only terrorism una achieve nothing more we all have a trading partner down south here

festacman:
I beg to disagree. North is not and will never be a parasite on the South. They may have their weaknesses but they also have their strengths. North is a critical source of food supply to the rest of the country.

That was in the past not anymore, do you remember when your people decide not to move any food material down south especially south west during Buhari... Nothing una get again walah... We go partner with our family for Benin Republic South East and South South will partner with Cameron so, una food go dey useless... How many people fit buy cow for 1 million for Northern state? How many fit buy a bascket of tomotoes for 40k or peppe for 50k..... It can only be from the South but una think that our money naa play abi bring it on

45k in 2016 is about $180 in 2016 which is almost 300k in 2025, using the current exchange rate

be realistic

This the problem, yes it 180usd but we don't spend such in our market bag of rice in 2016 is around 15k to 17k, you said which is almost 300k now but do you know that despite only me and my wife I struggle with that amount owning to rent, feeding and other stuff now my monthly salary is just some percentage higher than 300k after tax and I can count alot that I have achieved financially.... Yes I earn less compare to 2016 but do more

Kobojunkie:
Ol, boy! Make Google your friend immediately. Wants and needs are based on decisions.🥱

2. But to some people, marriage and/or kids are a luxury they cannot afford! Again, is marriage and/or having children a want or a need? Please consult Google before you respond this time around. 🥱🥱

Lol I don't need consult any Google for any thing I will still say having a family is base on your decision I have someone earning 30k with 3 kids and also have someone earning 800k but afraid to have a family... Marriage or Children are not needs or want... Needs are something you can't do without as human while wants are something that if you don't have it you can still move on... And Marriage or Children have nothing to do with those two words... You will be the one to Decide if or not... I decide that once I get to 30 years I will get Marry... That's my decision despite earning low as at then

oluxy:
When some one earning 45k got a successful marriage and he's happy..

If you have not seen, I have.

A teacher with 35k salary as well planned his life and got married....

People should learn how to plan on their lane not on others lane..

Just leave these people bro, I got married in 2016 when my salary is just 45k, today I thank God because I earn more than times 10 of such, they want everything to be set before they will say yes..

Kobojunkie:
Buying a gadget is also a decision. So, is marriage/having of children a want or a need?

To me I will say getting new toys or gadgets fall under needs and wants not decision. Let me explain most of time we decide to get a new phone or gadget not that we don't see any that is of low price which can still serve us but just because of societal influence and need to feel among we tend to break the bank to have high ends one at the end of the day it only serve the basic needs and nothing more that a low price gadget would have deliver too..

The reason I say that having a family or Kids is base on decision is because not everyone of us want such but everyone want luxury and good lifestyle ..

Kobojunkie:
By that, is marriage/having children a need or a want?

My analogy is base on the 100k you earn per month but yet it not enough for you talk less of marrying with such... Having a Marriage or children is decision... But owning a gadget that will not get you additional money just because your friends have such is tag as what you Want because what you need is some thing that can still do the work of that big price gadget without breaking your account.... Imagine Someone earning 100k now paying a house rent of 450k per annum is that not too much

One thing many fail to know is the different between need and want... Many people spend their money on what they want every month and end up broke. They fail to recorgnise what they need... Just because your friend is using a phone of 450k now you want to force yourself to have it against your poor earning at the end you get it but hungry dey wire you now you are complaining that your salary is not enough... Haba now.. No be everyone have fast speed in financing in Life ooh

Odebayo4010:
Women don't understand sacrifice.
Their father sacrificed for them, therefore they think a man should sacrifice to make them comfortable. If that man doesn't make them comfortable, their hypergamy will make them abandon him and look for a man who will.
They will watch a man bleed financially and they will not lift a finger to help him. They think it is a man's responsibility to suffer, sacrifice and even die for them. Don't sacrifice for a woman who brings you no value.

I think you mean girls not woman.. Many woman know what sacrifies mean only a handful of them fall short,

irumole1975:
I had a conversation with the mechanic guy that serviced my car last week Saturday. And from the conversation he made it known that if a woman cheats on him and gave him a child from another man, he will walk away from her completely and never see her again. I was suprised ans I tried to educate him that it’s not the right thing to do. Walking away from a woman just because she cheats is the textbook definition of misogyny that women including sensible men have been complaining about die decades.

She might cheat because you do not give her enough money, u cannot afford her needs the way she wants yet, just apologise and keep trying. Find more jobs etc.

The guy said my advise was suicidal. I wasn’t suprised as he’s not educated. But what really made me angry was a banker guy who was there and he was supporting this mechanic guy. Ahah as a a banker at least u went to school and u shoud know better to respect women.

Nigerian men <<<<

Even God send Adam and Eve away just by eating forbidding fruit....

LagosOrigin:
His grandfather, obafemi awolowo, committed serious crime against humanity and against God by using starvation strategy against the south east people during the civil war which led to the death of over 2 million people.

But Ojukwu collect your grandfather Naira in Exchange of Biafra Dollar which was not recorgnise then use your grandfather hard earn money to run away...

This is the real issue with some guys, many guy no fit toaste a lady one on one and the only thing they will use is to buy phone or start spending on neccessary... Money is not the way bro money only help you to cement your assurance and to maintain the relationship.... If you approach a lady with your cash even 90% will follow you just because of the money and once they sense the money no dey they vamous... Be A friend and then turn more than a friend and see her following you even of you dont have any cash

Sonnobax15:

Wow

See true love na.

But then again,the right way should have been the lady proposing to the man for almost sacrificing his life just to save her

The man really tried . I'd really love to be as kind as he's towards women in my next life

Thats is not love thats a great Sacrifice... I bet no matter what you cant do the same for any girl that is not your family.... So there is different... Because the guy stand a chance of been rejected just that the lady know who sacrifice his own self for her to leave... To me i will say that guy is the Lady Jesus

SlavaUkraini:
Poverty and Greed are really Bastards

13 Coordinated Robberies....

Total value of items stolen = £240,000

The Risk definitely does not match the "Reward"

Because 1 out of those 13 robbery incident could have ended their life

But Poverty will never make the poor man with criminal intentions think straight...




Once again... Poverty and Greed are Bastards

This has nothing to do with poverty... It just greediness, many people want to be in sane country but dont want to work for the money at the end they will begin to show off to those who jump from duty to duty... Show off to those who sacrifice their playing around in stacking little pounds so that they can have some thing to fall back to... These kids are citizen of UK but a spoilt brat

LagosOrigin:
Igbos are the true lovers of Nigeria , it's crystal clear.

The Igbos are tolerant on there home land and accommodating . It has been proven many times .

For your mind, Yoruba dont have Oba outside their territory, if you find any ask them their kingship home in Yoruba land... It easy your folks accept it just to prove wrong narative but we are not buying it.... Do what please you...

Kalulu44:
You guys don't seems to get it. Anambra is made for APGA and will continue to win state and local elections in Anambra state. It's different from presidential election

What make it different from any other election.. They fool yourself, you people have no say in what actually happen in your state but eager to put mouth or have interest in others own

nairalanda1:
No rigging...people voted for obi for the same reason you guys voted for tinubu. It is 'our' turn.

Nothing like rigging in Nigerian elections. You guys vote for your daily bread, not for how the ingredients are sourced, or how bread manufacture can be sustained.

If this your statement was right why are your kin calling Yoruba betrayal when we all do the same thing during last election, even Yoruba allow your candidate to win states in Southwest while no one from any other region are able to win even just a pooling unit... Can you now see how your kins are?

mrvitalis:
Benin own lagos Island but boom they are Yorubanessed

If you said Benin own Lagos Island what mark do Benin leave behind... Check Epe, Ikorodu, Ojota,Ketu you will still find the traces of Ijebus and Remos, Badagry you will find the Eguns, part Aworis... The Island you claim owned by Benins People that retain the place up till now are Isale Eko, Aworis and Saro... So tell me where Benin take come out... Shey dem send una comot ni... Even Oba of Benin no fit come down to that Area and say Benin own this place He can only say that online... So watin you dey talk now

mrvitalis:
Lmaooo even you know believe that

The ijaws of Lagos
Benins of Lagos
Ilaje people

Lmaooo... You guys don't know I'm part Yoruba abi? Lmaooo

How many Ijaws are in Lagos and with their own area, How many Benins owned a specific place or area in Lagos, How many Ilaje ever say they own any part of Lagos... Ijebus i know, Egun I know Isale Ekos (Saro) I know even the common Dahome people have their own area

Gotocourt:
The most misunderstood word in Nigeria is monopoly

Really misunderstood word, many Nigerian only go to school to learn big gramma without knowing the meaning... 87 company have licence to open refinary, only Dangote utilize his own, while other are using the same licence to import fuel into the country... No every greedy one are now calling him Monopoly

SmartPolician:
You people need to stop deceiving yourself with this information. America is leading research efforts in artificial intelligence, space technology, drug and pharma, aeronautics, and I can go on and on.

Even if everyone decides to dump the USD, those folks are groomed to eat and drink knowledge economy so they will continuously pour everything they have in research and innovation. Where China apparently have an edge over America is agriculture, engineering and production.

American leading research... have you check the nationality of those that do the research ..... let the Dollar useless and see them move like bee .... bring out one native American and I will give you 10 immigrants who make the research happen .... try to watch a film blessed hand and see how they silent many people and try to put their own name on

Wait I need to get something straight , what do Ojukwu get in Exchange for Biafra Dollar during the war ?

SmartPolician:
Looking at regional sharing, why is Ogun State allocation this low in the region? Who defined the yardstick for allocation sharing in the first place?

During Amosun government he agree with the federal government that certain percentage should be deducted from the state allocation for the repayment of the loan he collected and it still running till now

gbengene1234:
APC only need the South Easterners Governor to perfect their rigging. PO only state the obvious and APC urchins are busy throwing jabs around. PO wouldn't perform poorly if he contest again under any platform... Labour, ADC, NNPP, APGA no matter the party. And APC knows this themselves

He know because that is what they do for him in the east last election now for him to have 99% vote. so he know what those government are capable of so election still have 2 years to come by and he don dey vomit abi... if you know that you can buy your way out in anything normally you will not like it if your opponent now become the big spender and ready to outspend you ... hypocrite

Efuaye:
You are blaming Peter Obi for changing parties but you are celebrating those who are decamping into your party from other parties almost weekly!
No bi juju bi that?

They are not blaming his for changing party they are only reminding him that he have no moral right to tell some people not to change their party because that his trademark

Freddonance:
Nigerian banks are known for favouring only the rich.

You might call it that but know this and know peace they are in for gain not for charity if your asset is not worth partner with they will not favour you ... the same way you will not see Nigerian Bank supporting any Fintech project because they belive you are competing with them but with God if someone that is rich belive in your goal and ready to support you then the influence of that person can be use to open many doors
