Incase some people don't know, thry should know today.. not every case of illness is ordinary, some you don't take injections or operate on them else it's instant death.. You'll run to your elderly ones or those with knowledge for help.

There is a guy's case I recount.. he is an Igbo guy and one of my good customers then at Area 1 Shopping complex that sells goods and men accessories. Anytime I visit the guy's place, he is always sick either leg swollen or he is unable to lift his arms. So one fateful day na, as I was in his store, I felt this pin-like sting on my neck (about 3 times back to back), like someone firing shots at me, I paused, looked around and laughed (I talk am for my mind say Igbo people).. Na one of them there dey do the thing but dem never reach.
I just advised the guy to look for somewhere else to do his business else they will kill him eventually.
Who talk say jazz no dey??

I agree with you totally, person wey no believe in jazz and chooses to live a carefree life, nah hin come sabi.

If the story surrounding his death is true, then he was attacked spiritually, and he was naive enough to take an injection.

May his soul RIP.

Hello Everyone, first of all I apologize in advance for the long note and also about my English, not actually my first language.

My name is Mimi, I was born in Nigeria... But cos of the nature of my dad's profession i have spent around 75% of my life in different countries outside Nigeria... Mostly in EU.

Well enough said about myself, cos this topic is not about me but about Nigerians... Our general mentality and perception of abroad.

Guys listen up... All that glitters is not really gold. Out there is not entirely what people think it is. And you might think just because I have spent so much time outside Nigeria i do not understand the struggle in Nigeria and therefore not qualified to tell you all this "nonsense"..... I completely get it.. trust me.

But even a random 3 years old kid knows that the country is messed up and nothing to write home about, we all know about the Suffering, depression and "starvation level of poverty" in Nigeria yeah.... That's why everyone is desperatly looking for a way out, no doubt... but trust me, JAPA is not 'always' your ticket out of poverty... Well 'sometimes' it is... but most times it's just your direct ticket to being subjected to racism,more depression,more struggles,several mental disorder,homelessness, modern day slavery and the list goes on and on.

Trust me... when it comes to hustling field, success is much more louder than failure. cos our mind was designed to constantly search for hope. which means you would quickly hear about the lucky 3% that made it big through JAPA, but hardly hear about the remaining unlucky 97% that found themselves in worse possible condition after the same JAPA. There's no money tree out here... there's no diamond river out here...
Is there more opportunities? Well yes, But there are millions of people that already done and still doing whatever you intend to come do over here and yet they are still in the worse condition than you are in right now.

You would literally cry when you see what most of our African brothers and sisters go through around the world in the name of Japa. And as a Nigerian?? Trust me it gets worse.. and your chances gets even much smaller. Cos no one trust Nigerians anymore any where around the world and I believe we all know why.

Sorry but I'm not trying to burst anyone's bubble, kill anyone's vibe or being a negative biitch! Naaaah I'm only trying to be realistic! I'm only trying to tell you something no travel agent would ever tell you and something people abroad hardly tell you, and even when they eventually do tell you...? You don't believe them.. instead you result to asking them questions like "why are they still there if it's that bad"? .....

Well.... You wanna know why most of them are still there? Let me tell you why... there is a psychological reason for that... First They are still in DENIAL. Imagine dreaming your entire life to travel abroad and finally have a good life, you probably invested almost everything or everything you have got to make it happen (your money, your time, your last hope)
But then you finally got there and then meet a reality that is entirely different from your life long dreams and perception of these faraway green lands?
I don't know if you know... but our brain is defensive in nature, it will automatically switch straight to denial mode... Leaving you with atleast enough 'hope and wait for a magic or should i say a miracle' (afterall this is abroad where magic happens?)
This is just one of the reasons why most of these people continue sticking around instead of returning home.

Another reason is that they are worried about what people back home would say or think... Because the people back home also got this general fvcked up mentality and very high expectation of people coming back from Japa (y'all need to stop it! Y'all need to get rid of that mentality, seriously ) cos like I said earlier... there is no bleeping money tree over there! I don't know where Nigerians got that idea from in the first place...
It needs to stop, yall driving the youth nuts with such mentality, it's doing more harm than good. That high expectation/ pressure back home is mostly the reason our people are more likely to result to crime out here (so just stop it! )

I have met alot of other African nationalities abroad... and amazingly they don't share the same mentality we have about Abroad. They treat abroad as just another hustling ground and not a direct ticket to success... Therefore they are more relaxed and less pressured than Nigerians out here.

Moving Abroad is not such a bad idea though, it worked and still works for few lucky ones (including my Family) it would be wrong and biased of me if I fail to mention that..
There are plenty of and more opportunities over out here not doubt...
But what I'm just saying is that... it's not always that easily reached.. as most people automatically believe.
Look... Somehow all these countries are intelligently designed In such a way that it take back almost entirely everything you make out here from you one way or the other... Through tax, through mind blowing bills or random expenses around every corner.

And at the end of the day you realize you are nothing but a modern day slave building someone's country for free... And without freedom.

Most people screaming Japa in Nigeria are far in better living condition and more stable mentally ,more happy than majority of people in the so called abroad without even knowing it. Sometimes Instead of gambling and betting your hard earned million of naira on Japa, it's more advisable to chill out... relax and invest that Millions in Nigeria. I'm just saying... You would probably end up living a life most people over there can only envy and dream of.

Thanks for reading my long note... I hope this helps someone in making a life decision out there. #ItsYourGurlMimi

Just blame those who show off online on top borrow pose and shady livelihood.

[/color][right][/right][color=#000099]It's politics with bitterness jare!!!!!!!

Well, each one of them is getting a taste of his own medicine, shikena!

It is simply karma.

ogbe88:
Then u don't know how these things work.
Hakimi is on course to win it.

Because of Morocco's performance at the World Cup or what?

Well, time will tell.

lexy2014:
So they were doing emilokan among themselves?

🤣🤣🤣

No actually, each didn't want the other person to takeover from him, for example, Amosun was even physically injured during one his campaign rallies to take over from Daniel, while Amosun did everything to ensure Dapo didn't takeover from him. It is just fate, rather than the emilokan theory.

Friends and political associates of over 23 years witch-hunting eachother because of politics. So sad.

Dapo Abiodun, Ibikunle Amosun and Gbenga Daniel, during one of the latter's campaigns to become Governor in 2002.

Good bonding exercise for the lads, spelling Sao Tome E Principe over two legs.

Now I believe Osimhen is up for the African player of the year now.

An Italian League Champ and highest goal scorer, and the highest goal scorer of the qualifying series, in fact, scoring twice as many goals as his closest rival, Sadio Mane.

Politics is a very dirty game, funny enough, Amosun, Dapo and Daniel were friends and political associates, relationships that date back over 23 years. Unfortunately, they have been witch-hunting one another ever since Daniel became Governor in 2003.

So, the OGD wife can't get interim injunction to stop the demolition. Something is fishy.

Conversely, where did OGD wife get 1bn to construct a 5 storey building?

Why did we have lot of police personnel guiding OGD when he should rathert be employing the services of private security guards, being ordinary citizen.

At the end of the day, Ogun State citizens are the losers.

He is actually a current Senator

What!!!
Earthquake in Africa?

My prayers are with Morocco in this trying times

If Turkey can have earthquakes, definitely North African countries can too. Moreover, this isn't the first earthquake in Morocco, they have had over a dozen quakes in recorded history, and the recent one isn't the one with the highest magnitude.

Always evaluate risks before you jump into adventures.

Those who embarks on such adventures sees it as last resort...just like those who cross the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea to get to Europe....Or those who stowaway on ship rudders.

Amen

Hmm

I am in the diaspora and I don't wish military brule on Nigeria.

Rufai oseni is not stupid. He knows that is the end of his career once the soldier boys take over.
Arise tv would either close down or just show us soccer from all around the world 24/7.

Well, it doesn't mean everyone in the diaspora, I meant the category of those who are clamouring for it, afterall, I am I the diaspora too, and I am against it.

Of course, every journalist who loves his profession should be very scared of military rule.

Shebi una still dey enjoy Social Media to make money and kill boredom...shebi una still dey get opinion on the internet by hiding behind your keypads. Pray never to experience a military government in its full glory, you will wish Buhari back in Aso Rock.

Only those in thier 20s (never experienced military rule in Nigeria), those in the diaspora, and those who have the means to japa are wishing a military govt on Nigeria.

Former Ogun State Governor, Amosun's nominee.

Good thinking for the all in one entertainment, shopping and recreational edifice, but the architectural layout is wack, the architect missed the opportunity to attract more potential clients.

They are only still able to get away with this because there are no ministers in place, but now that they have been sworn-in, everyone of them go find hin level.

If you must marry a Nigerian woman, marry the slim ones.

A slim woman can never be wrong in my eyes.

I can sell my family lands for a slim Nigerian virgin girl.

Akotileta

Just one question for you, is your stay in the country tied to his own documents, or you had your legal documents before you met him?

Drone view indeed, more like someone was climbing market stalls to take pictures. 😅

Dino or that Yeye Bello's underling, either way, Kogiates are fvcked for 8 more years.😪 How such a well positioned State can be suffering from years after years of disgusting leadership is beyond me.

Other States should be thanking God, Kogi is the best PR for worst of the worst when it comes to governance, globally.

You need beneficial leadership change and you are turning to Dino? Suffer never tire you. 😭😭😭

This lady needs some professional help ASAP, making things up seem to be one of her major hobbies. She's damn too twisted, she will wreck the locker room if permitted to switch allegiance to Nigeria.

Those ladies ought to be paid all their entitlements, people should go to the social media pages of the President, First Lady, and Senate President to air the concerns of those ladies, only that way would the shameless NFF be forced to do the needful.

Theifnubuu is a bad luck to Nigeria

Yet, D'Tigeress won the Nations Cup? 🤷‍♂️😁

BigIyanga:
What was her official booking for? I no dey understand these rules from Ref, VAR and FIFA court??

Normally, a straight red card means 2 match-ban, but if after review, the FIFA ref committee sees the infringement as delibrate and carreer- threatening, they sometimes extend the ban.

JoshTim:
, I thought the red card has expired. She got the red card in the first game and missed Australia and Ireland matches. Isn't it?

Rumour had it that her suspension was extended from 2 to 3 matches. I guess we will know for certain tomorrow, but she's visible in training though, so let's see.

If Nigeria can survive the first half, I believe we will have a chance to win. It is just so unfortunate that Abiodun won't be playing, she for just man mark Lauren James, she is the maestro of that English team.

That's the best way to keep the military in check and prevent coups, but at the same time, it affects the country's security, as experience is very important to having a formidable Armed Forces.

Use your brain before you talk

Although Naira seem to crashing at an alarming rate, but the reality on ground in Ghana will shock you.

Plus you need to work on your economics.

They shouting that the military to take over in Nigeria should be careful what they wish for, the best military government is worst that the worst civilian government. Shebi una still get mouth dey abuse all una leaders, wait until military takes over.

Helper1000:
Make una wait for Monday... very bad mindset.. you can't even believe in your own.. people like you are always felling inferior.

You can't always leave your success to luck, confidence, you will get burnt. For a team that struggles to string 2 or three passes together, I am waiting for another miracle to happen. As for you, I will reply you after the match on Monday. I love surprises, so 🤞
