Why are the rich "oppressing" the poor?

If not for the "fake products from China" many people would never be able to afford a flat screen Tv - How many families in Nigerian are buoyant enough to cough out 500 to 800 euros for a quality LG TV?

How many have the resources to even buy original quality phones or other gadgets?

I am not saying that "fake product" should be allowed into the country but as long as there is huge disparity in terms of income and as long as the rich continue "taunting" the poor with their riches the poor will always look for alternative product so as not to feel left out.

In most society, where the income gap is not that wide and where people earn living wage, the chances of opting for fake goods is very low. In fact, most people won't waste their money on such given that they can afford real and quality products and that the system protect them as customers in terms of failure of the product.

Anyways, as long as poverty is supreme in Nigeria and as long as the poor wants to live like the rich, opportunist will exploit the situation and will continue selling fake and dangerous products.

They can produce whatever but why use LG?
If they are sure of the quality, they can easily call it a different name and everyone will know what they are buying.

Textor sold all his stake at crystal palace already. Lyon wouldn't have any problems playing in the UEL.

I thought the chief of Army staff moved to Benue recently. If attacks still continue while he's there, I'm sorry for Benue.

See as south south full top 10. Una Sabi drink sha.

Warri get passenger?

It's a terrible time to allow any member of your family to join the security forces in Nigeria especially the military and police. They don't have good ammunition and personnel management is horrible.

I remember a time in my undergraduate days, i had serious toothache, so painful that i cried all night though it wasn't loud, i tried to manup still, unable to sleep at all, i had to travel home the following day, 2teeth at once, they called it akokoro in yoruba.
My aunty laughed at me then took me to the hospital for treatment sha, before the pain relieved me, she was like shebi okunrin( do like a man now), don't disgrace me in this hospital, she made jest of me after it has gone every now and then.
I now asked her, aunty which is more painful, childbearing and this toothache? because at a point, i felt like removing all my teeth, She was like it is childbearing, i now told her i overheard a woman in the hospital saying she has given birth to 4children and that this toothache is more painful, my aunty didn't agree.
Lo and behold, year 2023, my aunty experienced this toothache issue, she has given birth to 2children too herself, she was like Emma, ogun wo lo lo nigba ti eyin dun e nigba yen( that is which medicine did i use then when i had toothache), like seriously my beautiful aunty was crying like a baby, i felt her pain cos i have gone through it myself, i never knew i could carry her, i took her to her hospital for proper treatment. i couldn't make jest of her like she did to me cos i haven't seen her in that mood before.
Later after the pain has gone, she is feeling much better, i now ask her, aunty you have gone through the two, which is more painful, she was like Emma, it is toothache o, it was like half of my body from head to toe is paining me, didn't you hear when i was telling the doctor to remove all my teeth.
Please which is more painful, share your experiences, thank you.

Pains from kidney stones is probably worse. It never stops.

fyneboi79:
very illogical!!

There is a prostitute In every female being,depends on how its stimulated with money offers and psychological manipulation . married or single...be wise!

People who think with their legs

TUANKU:
Technically it's the people transporting themselves as the funds come from their offerings and tithes and any other way the church can squeeze more money out of them gullible souls.

No one is forced to pay tithes. Moreover, many who don't even attend churches benefit from this. Appreciate good things when you see it.

I think the extreme cold can be better managed than the heat we experience in Nigeria.

God1000:
What a remarkable feat.


At the age of 17 in Nigeria, you are still in secondary school preparing for WAEC and NECO

This is also applicable in other countries. Most are just getting out of high school at 17. What she achieved is remarkable and not the usual stuff.

. You are right sir.Somebody reminded us yesterday that Buhari assented to a law rules out another term for Lucky if he wins the coming election and he is sworn in as the Ondo Governor

If this is true, then why were there indications from people that Jonathan might run for president again in 2023? Some even claimed he bought the APC form. I'm sure there wouldn't have been such indications if this law really stand.

meum:
By law, Lucky can only do 4 years after completing Akete’s tenure. He can’t be sworn into office more than two times. That is the law.

Is the law of presidency different from that of the state? Jonathan was sworn in twice, after Yaradua died and in his first term. He contested again and lost to Buhari. He would have been sworn in for a third time if he won the 2015 elections. How come it's different for state governors?

JAOS:
are nigerians buying petrol with dollar?
if naira is gaining why cant nnpcl reduced their diesel and petrol price?
sometimes i wonder how you guys survive being stup*d for some useless government

There's still subsidy on petrol, so it's difficult to see a sharp effect on prices.

Nigerians flocking to okx and bybit, watch your back!

If you want to speculate on the global financial markets, go learn technical analysis and join regulated brokers; do away with crypto exchanges. You can even speculate on cryptos through brokers, along with Gold, Silver, palladium, indices, and currencies.

I know because of mental laziness, you wouldn't learn technical analysis but opt for less stressful spot trading - buy and relax like a retiree.

Come on, use your young brain and study charts to predict the direction of the markets and make money for yourself.

They don't want the hard work of studying charts but prefer the executive (lazy) style of trading.

What's he talking about? How does TA knowledge make you a good trader? There are many of your kinds languishing in penury. Crypto is a better product with varying sectors: defi, nfts, RWA and a lot more. You should understand that making money in crypto goes beyond only price increment, do you have any idea what yield farming and staking is?
Also, the whole TA thing is also applicable in crypto futures. Don't spend your whole time talking here, learn before you put out comments.

tuborme:
Crypto has a major role in insecurity in Africa. Terrorists use them to buy ammunition and move money!

Try to read reports on terrorism funding, crypto plays very little role. Wasn't terrorism widespread before crypto. Also, understand that every crypto centralized exchanges require kyc. Traditional finance remains the biggest source of terrorism funding.

HugeElephant:
Crypto is just another elaborate pyramid scheme and a scam. What stupid coins are you buying or trading, what gave it a value?

Before you argue,remember MMM

What are the similarities between MMM and crypto?
United States SEC approved Bitcoin spot ETF in January. Rather than call it scam, why not try to learn about how decentralized and transparent crypto transactions are. Also, this might be a good time to get into crypto because it's in a bull run.

Crypto exchanges that get regulated in Nigeria will pay tax to the government. Just like stocks, crypto has also become an investment, we could have crypto fund managers that will provide employment for people.

ucheuzor1:
this looks like a good deal. How do I get spectranet

You need to check if it's available in your state.

nwetadinobi042:
How do you go about getting spetranet? Is this 150GB monthly or nah?

Spectranet isn't available in all states. You need to check if it's available where you are. The 150gb is monthly for 16700, there's also another that's 17000 for same data but for 90 days.

I'm on do more package on spectranet. #16700 for 150GB and free browsing from 1am-8am.

Baba i can never be as broke as you. and i am not broke shaming Op but the truth is op needs to learn that thing are very expensive in the market now. a baby jean now just one cost about 15k now. do you know how much children close cost ion the market now. you guys are just broke instead of you and the op to sit their wife down and talk he is here bragging like 400k is a big money. baba 400k will not be enough unless op want his wife to be using napkin for his baby, then he can cut down cost.

400k will buy basic stuff needed for the baby and mum's delivery items.
I think the husband should have an idea of the list of items requested at the hospital as well as baby basic needs and clothings within the first month or two. I did mine with less than 300k about a year ago. Definitely didn't buy everything but that was enough to set up a whole room of items.

400k should be enough to buy basic things needed for her delivery and some for the child. I spent 250k to buy similar stuff for my first child a year ago, I know prices have increased but that amount should buy reasonable stuff. You probably need to ask her to give account of what she bought.

A guy in my fellowship had similar issue in 2015. He helped a stranded stranger who spent the night in his place. He left for school the next day only to come back and meet his wardrobe empty. The guy stole all his valuable clothes.

Obierika:
The wahala of EVs it too much abeg

Would you mind mentioning the problems?

She's done it too many times. You should let her go.
She probably sees you as the best guy who will always come around no matter what happens. It's time you let her know you are never going to be together again.
The dream will eventually fade, don't spend time thinking about her and the memories you've had. Focus your energy on stuff more productive.
I'm sure you will meet a better lady.

You bring sensitive relationship issues to nairaland and you get people who ain't married or have gone through bad relationship to advise you.
Don't leave her because of her body count. She's definitely shown you how good of a person she is, you don't have a nice body count either.

The good part about her is way better than whatever negative past you think. You should appreciate those who show up and support you in difficult moments. You can't change the past but can make the future fun and interesting. Don't be deceived, there are few ladies who can stand by you genuinely.

IyanuDeb:
My friends have been advising me to start saving money for a while now, I don't earn much but I had already decided to start saving, no matter how little, just yesterday when someone heard us talking about it, he said with the way Nigeria currently is, saving has disadvantages because my 1million today will become 500k next year.

Save your money in dollars, digital dollars like usdt and usdc are the most accessible right now. Register on a centralized crypto exchange, engage in peer to peer transactions where you exchange naira for usdt.

You're 45, leaving Nigeria at that age to seek greener pasture abroad isn't a good idea. You seem not to have skills that can get you jobs abroad too.
You studied accounting, I assume you know something about finance. Why not learn stuff like trading stock, foreign exchange or crypto currency.

You can make good money that can sustain you and your family from that. The most important thing here is putting in the work.

Nigerfine3:
My friend and his wife once made such decision. I advised against it, they said that thier definition of success is THEIR KIDS SCHOOLING IN USA.
7 years down the line, one kid in university, others doing well in high school but parents have been living from hand to mouth.
There isn't anything you could do with accounting degree. You would surely start afresh with other jobs that feeds you and family without savings.
The kids enjoy free secondary education, you labour Latour Latour. If you are the kind that can't stand having savings per month, you might not survive it.
Go to oyo, osun, states or ilaro side in ogun state, get big farm land against next year.
You can farm up to 100 acres of cassava, under good farm manager( with help of locals too), you would make unimaginable profit after one year.
Invest the remaining money in little thing to feed family before the harvest starts.
Planting season starts March, buy land learn it next year start work

Farming isn't as easy as many of you think. it isn't a get rich quick scheme and neither one you go into without experience. Nigerians are wild and are looking for means to defraud people. Telling him to relate with locals isn't a good idea.

Mine haven't increased . IBEDC still charges the same fee.
