hehehe. imagine the guy saying 15k is the least they earn in a month. Most people are earning about $30,000 to $35,000 some even lower. Except you are in a top profession there is no way you can earn $15,000 in one month. I dont know where people see these figures o. you are right.

as for the brake pad, yes it is a lot of money, but i am not surprised she is charged that amount. this is why most Americans are good in DIY they do their own repairs. if you are engaging a profession, then you must be ready to pay

Yea, a lot of Nigerians have a poor understanding of how things work outside Nigeria. There are people who think some developers working with any of the FAANG(Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) companies make $100k per month. I know how I struggled to explain things to one. At a point I started to think maybe I'm the one with poor understanding of the whole thing.

So they think it's all flowing with milk and honey over there. Of a truth they typically earn much more than we do over here but people shouldn't blow things out of proportion. It is good that such repair shops charge that much because that is how they are able to pay their workers considerably good amount of money. You hear Nigerians talking about going abroad and earn good money despite doing menial jobs, they don't realize the establishment paying them that considerably good money had to charge their patrons/customers top dollar to be able to pay them. Hope you get where I'm driving at?


Yea, DIY is the way to go. You just can't pay out of pocket for everything and remain the same. You just can't unless you earn so much, which many don't.

Crysallis:
Let's say she earns 5k monthly, spends 3k on bills and taxes, then she should be smart enough to use her car minimally

Yea, you have a point. While some car faults could be prevented by careful usage of the cars, sometimes the roads are just bad or it could be the fault of other road users.

Realguyman1:
I didn't said $1800 is not a big money anywhere. But why is she coming to the media to seek senseless attentions with it? Is it to discourage others from going or what?

If she can afford a car in Yankee, already shows she is a big woman and not the struggling Nigerians over there in Yankee. So why is she complaining of the money she used in fixing it?

Since she wants to seek attention, why didn't she show us the car she is using over there, so that we will know what her worth is?

For her to be using a car over there in Yankee already indicates she is not among the struggling Nigerians over there. So why don't she comes back to Nigeria and start a business for herself, so that she will not be charged heavily when she is paying her bills?

Bro chill, you're using this opportunity to vent your anger on her.

You shouldn't be angry or blame her because if you've been paying attention on social media lately you'd notice many people both in Nigeria and outside Nigeria share virtually every detail of their life with people on social media, whatever the reasons are is not what I'm concerned with. But it's actually normal for someone to share such details today on the internet, especially if they've been sharing other similar detail.

Another thing to note is that, she likely moved overseas very recently, so she is shocked at the amount she has to pay for such 'minor' fixes on her care. It's the more reason she felt compelled to share.

I'm not justifying her actions as I don't care much, I'm just trying to give you an idea of a reason.

Crysallis:
Canada & USA

Is this a joke? Someone that earns $15k per month is a rich person. And would probably have somewhere around $12k or slightly less to spend to herself after tax. $1800 out of $12k to spend on break pad is a lot bro.


By the way, the chances that she earns that much is slim/low.

Realguyman1:
She earns in dollars, so why is she disturbing the media now? Or is she earning in naira and spending in dollar?

Earning in dollars does not mean she earns $1m per month. If you check very well her monthly take home might be between $5k to $10k or even less, it could be after or before tax sef. So if it's before tax, she would have to herself something like $3,750 to $7500, it varies slightly from these figures but still very close.


Having that in mind, tell me how $1800 is not a huge amount? $1800 out of $10k is 18% just to fix break pads, she would pay rent, insurance (car, health etc), mortgage if she doesn't own her home fully or isn't paying rent.

Bro, $1800 is a huge amount of money anywhere in the world, the only people it would not be huge for are millionaires or multimillionaires, both in USD.

its only rational reasoning that when you buy an expensive car to show off, then forget about the future maintenance cost you will shed hot tears, the average whiteman will go for his ford or truck ,, while my naija people will get there and buy benz.

Somehow you think Ford vehicles are not expensive

Kayley Stead, who lives in Swansea, only learnt she wouldn't be getting married on the morning of her wedding.

Despite the heartbreak, Kayley decided to go ahead with the big day, surrounded with her loved ones around her, on September 15 at Oxwich Bay Hotel in Gower, Swansea, Wales.

Kayley went ahead with her wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even posed for professional photos without her groom.

She spent £12,000 on the nuptials, so decided to enjoy the day with family and friends.

The bridal party woke up around 6am, and started getting ready, the groom had disappeared by this point.

Kayley (pictured with her bridesmaids) said 'asked the girls, his family and the groomsmen to continue getting ready, because I honestly believed he was going to be there'

Island of Whales. These land whales should go back to their natural habitat.

lhordspy:
In a saner country this same aisha yesufu should be in jail by now because of her role in the Endsarz destruction saga.

Someone with zero political knowledge as a chicken.

Who takes her serious if not na!raland pushing her news to frontpage.

Being in jail ke. Na so your hate for her reach?

okoroemeka:
why are you wasting your time answering this people, the candidates that took waec from my community alone in imo state surpass the number that took the same exam in a whole state of more than 5 million people in same north and yet they will reduce the cut off mark for them by 70%,yet what is happening?I will be throughly ashamed of myself if I am from such region to depend on government boost,patronage and subsidy that even my brain will be subsidized

I just had to do it, because there are people who do not know the full gist who might stumble on this thread.

bennybuhari:
https://independent.ng/inec-to-parties-campaigning-on-religious-tribal-sentiments-liable-to-imprisonment-n10m-fine/

this is good and I've been anticipating it since.

The emilokan group from Twitter to Facebook and Nairaland have been pushing this since. It's been the foundation for their entire campaign.

rusher14:
Stop explaining.

Obi said what he meant.

You're an inconsequential buffoon. My explanation is not for you but for those who are not aware of the truth who might come across this thread.

rusher14:
Obi was very clear in what he said and what he meant.

Obi like many of his disciples love to demean northerners and he'll hear from them at the polls.

He never demeaned the north and you don't need very high intelligence to understand what he said. You don't even need secondary school education to understand. It's a shame. For political reasons, many of you would just become terribly unintelligent and dumb beyond redemption.

Incase you don't understand what he said, let me explain it like I'm talk to a primary school drop out; he said the north is suffering the same problems as the south. Simple.

femisplash:
How can someone goes on an International TV to disparage a section of the country saying "they have NO good roads and security". Meanwhile, half of the roads in his own region have been washed away by erosion and the other half left with potholes.
Peter Obi is afflicted with the diarrhea of the mouth such that whenever he opens his mouth, he vomits stupidity.
and that's a major consequence, when a man seeks advice from madmen before going to the public.

Some of you are just filled with evil.

Peter Obi basically said the north has bad road situation just like the south . I don't know if you guys are intentionally accusing him of something he didn't say or it's just the case of very poor education you have been through. Simple comprehension seems to be very difficult for you. It's a big shame.

Tayowin:
Haba, if you don't like him, just say so, if you don't know about esport, check Google or ask questions, instead of condemning the development, Esport is not gambling, it's an online game, you play competition with other people, playstation soccer, or COD, if you win you are paid, this can a source of income for people who are good in games, they can literally make a lot from this.

Just an advice please try to know about a topic before you comment so you won't end up looking like a fool to other people

A lot of people on the internet are terribly ignorant but they're typically the loudest. When I come across their posts I feel too weak to respond. They're just not worth the time. Google is there for everyone to quickly Google something they don't know but they feel it's best to rush drop silly comments.

Ayo25:
Oga you are a simpleton and lack comprehension skills. I dont care where you live. You can be living inside a hole somewhere in Sambisa as far as i care. I am merely challenging you and your cursed generation to bring your vehicle and ply one way on Lagos road. You can prove to me you are not a bastard

Have a nice evening clown. You to rest from your clownery today. Your daily target has been met.

wallarwallar:
If u don't reside in lagos then what is your business with lagos issue idiot..

You're a very big fool. One with no lineage.

Go back to my very first post on thos thread, I never said anything regarding your laws as it's clearly none of my business. But when another idiot with same limited education as yourself calls Effiong an ex-convict I corrected him just as I'm correcting you right now. It's apparent you both were exposed to very limited education and that's why I keep seeing your outbursts on the forum.

Ayo25:
I am quoting it again so you say it pains me so much. Look the bastard that you are, tomorrow you and your relatives put your vehicles on Lagos road and ply one way. Your punishment would be unprecedented and not one million Inibehes put together would be able to save you.

Dindinrin omo ale jatijati

Clown, I know you're still feeling the pain. Sorry oh.

If not that you are an uneducated dolt, you would have known Nigeria doesn't start and end in Lagos, not everybody you meet on the internet lives in Lagos. But because of how little the content you have in your head is, you think everyone lives in your Lagos and all other nonsense that runs through your mind.

After education, you need help.

Ayo25:
Mumu be pretending to be strong. Your depression will definitely kill you. I dont care
if you dont stay alive. If you die it will be one less criminal in the world

You keep proving my point. You are an uneducated dolt.

Ayo25:
You must be a convict like Inibehe too. Criminals support Criminals

I know that response pained you so much you had to revisit it a second time. Please stay away from any harmful or dangerous objects including, knives, ropes and ceilings and ultimately stay away from sniper, please.

Even though you are grossly uneducated, there are still some jobs we could employ to do. You're more useful alive, don't let the truth of that response make you contemplate life. Please.

Ayo25:
You my friend are an idiot

for the past few years Nairaland has been populated by clowns like you. It would do the forum good if the management takes care of this.

Ayo25:
The most educated fellow in your lineage cannot lace my boots. Dumbhead

You don't sound like one who's barely educated. Educated people do not talk or act in the manner you do.

By the way, going to school and acquiring pointless certificates that do not influence your way of reasoning, does not mean you are well educated. It just shows you were once a student at one point in your life.

Ayo25:
Let him go drag the issue of the crime for which he was convicted with the judge.

Please gerra out if my mention

Na education be your problem.

Ayo25:
Nonsense coming from an ex convict.

Do you even understand what it means for one to be a convict?

What crime was he convicted of to be called an ex-convict or because a judge overstepped his boundaries he's now an ex-convict?

Omo sha, this country and the population inside am na wa.

tiger28:
THEN he said climate change[the number ONE threat to HUMAN survival] is NOT Priority

Stop being dumb, I don't know where and how you got the info that Climate Change is the number threat to human survival, especially in Nigeria.

If you don't support a candidate, you don't have to lie deliberately. We're not stupid. Have you checked Nigeria's contribution to CO2 emissions? We don't contribute upto 3% but you want us a poor country to make something like that a priority. Are you this dumb? I know you're saying this because it's not your candidate.

Europe that contributes far more than us have returned back to fossil fuel as way to tackle energy crisis but you want Nigeria, a country that doesn't contribute even a tiny bit to CO2 emissions and a country that doesn't even have energy to make such frivolities a priority.

Many of you on this platform shouldn't be giving opinions on certain topics.

Nigeria's priorities right now are economy and security or lives and properties. The west and Asia that destroyed the climate should be the ones much more interested in fixing the mess they made.


Countries like Nigeria should look for cheaper ways to generate energy, use it build their economy to a strong/solid position then they could start talking about climate change.

ShaqFu:
What is wrong with this Peter Obi. It now appear as if he's carried away with the social media frenzy.

Anybody planning a rally or whatever it is should have a serious rethink. The security situation in the country is more than enough reason for anybody planning whatever to desist from such plan.

I'm sure if or when they hold that rally, and things go south, this same Peter Obi and his cronies will be the ones blaming the government for what they use their hands to cause.

Are you normal at all?

Politics just makes lots of you lose your senses.

Sonyboom765:
If Peter Obi win 3 state in the election make I die straight.

haaaaa!

Are you guys okay at all?

Sonyboom:
Umuahia

Umuahia is actually not that bad to be considered the worst, I don't know if you've left the state before to other states you'd realize.

I schooled in Umuahia.

Even Aba that a lot of people clown on for being the worst city in Nigeria is actually better than lots of state capitals in this country. Not saying this to prop Aba up.

Tina00writer:
You are not needed

make una dey calm down understand first. While I'm yet to watch the video.

Most of the things she has said in previous videos and her criticism are level headed and very very sensible. I don't think she'd be saying anything not sensible. She's actually a reasonable person from what I see her say.

And finally, it makes sense if she doesn't work for his government, otherwise it'll seem like a reward system.

The same people that said others would labour to death are talking about political leaders guiding their utterances?

Bunch of hypocritical clowns.

Asour:
What do you mean he would not comment.

PO may not win the election but it is on record that Tinubu has said "They would labour in vain".
If that's not a snide remark to PO's Labour then what is?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/tinubu-mocks-labour-party-members-theyll-labour-till-they-die-video/amp/

He comments, just like any other politician.

He didn't say they will labour in vain, he said they will labour to death.

Fire lowered to 6 to cook slowly and stir everything.

Not gonna lie, this is probably the worst stew sir.

Who adds all the ingredients raw inside before starting to boil/cook?

Omo!!!!!

descarado:
Does it mean this man don't have any legitimate job he is doing?

Frankly speaking, I've thought about that before. Like long ago. Not even within the last two years.

He keeps moving from ass licking one politician and party to another.
