Can we afford it though?

Australia and New Zealand are by far the largest exporters of lamb and not far behind Brazil in beef.

They mostly produce for the Arab market who eat lamb like it's going out of fashion.

I don't think they are price competitive with our mallams though. We keep our meat cheap in Nigeria by sacrificing our farms as grazing routes for herdsmen, so the cost of cattle production is limited to herdsmen labour. That's why beef is cheaper than chicken in Nigeria. In most climes, chicken is the cheapest meat because it costs more money and land to raise cattle and sheep.

Raumdeuter I remember recently u said one of the problem our democracy has is that we copied the American system of government which is quite expensive to run.

I just watched a video this morning where Obama's wife was on Oprah's show and she stated it categorically that as the first family they pay for their own meals, the meals of their guests and other bills . Like they don't feed on tax payer's money like we have in Nigeria where governors and presidents have billions of naira budgeted for feeding from tax payers' money .

She literally said they get the bill for their meals at the end of the month.

Nigeria wey our economy no even big reach some states in the USA dey lavish serious money in funding luxurious lifestyle of our "leaders"

U can see that our leaders are just wicked in this part of the world and not because we copied an expensive American presidential system of government.

Obama and Democrats and Republicans political machinery is well oiled by donors, they don't need to inflate feeding budget to oil it. Feeding is feeding there whereas feeding in Naija is just avenue to oil the political machinery

Muslim immigrant stabbed people
Yoruba will say won pe e lole ongbe omo eran jo
Them they call us terrorist we actually behave like one

Most likely a muslim immigrant with mental health issues

You can't stab 5 people, mostly 5 and 6 year olds and not kill one person if you are a real terrorist. Even penknife will kill a child

Immigrants suffer mental health issues a lot because of their struggles to get to the country and all the paperwork and immigration hassles they have to face. I think this is just a nigga whose head done knock than a real terrorist

Benitez was never sacked. He was an interim coach and he served out his short-term contract

obainojazz:
I no Dey chop that meat
Truthfully, those things plenty… Whenever I drive down country side, you’ll see a farmer with thousands of them.
How many people eat Lamb meat here?

Lamb suya better pass beef suya

Go and collect one from the farmer and spice it with suya spice, you will be convinced

Very true. The lessons too plenty. What about language lessons? Swimming lessons are practically mandatory here anyway, you no fit dodge them. Different sports lessons and music lessons. Then different costumes for different plays at school and church. If you wan go on holiday/vacation na capital project. But as a family man na the price of your peace in the house and your kids integration into the society be that.

Nna I go review all these activities abeg. I realise say na my Madam dey cause all these billings not the kids directly. Even piano lessons they grumble every Sunday that they don't want to go. Last weekend my son walked out of football practice after 10 mins saying he's not doing again and my daughter walked out halfway through like some NLC worker, and they are always grumbling before they go. I later asked my wife how much we pay for football, she said £38 for each per month, and they miss half their lessons anyway. I said cancel it from December. From now we will only pay for what they show passion in and take initiative on except swimming which is a life saving skill. My papa no pay one kobo for me to play ball and I never failed to play everyday and twice on weekends for free. These guys can't trap ball after 3 years training and plenty billings because they ignore the footballs I strategically placed around the house and do no practice outside of their lessons.

See those costumes billings na another one. Christmas dance and drama shows are coming up and between billings for costumes and buying show tickets for all and sundry, I come dey wonder if I dey train pikin for university. But if I play Kizz Daniel song, dem go dey move off beat after how many years of these dance school billings. But bring any Naija pikin play beat, dem go dey move on beat without going to any dance school. I believe we just dey whine ourself with these things, and outsourcing certain life skills at premium cost. Heaven will not fall if I dance with my daughter every weekend, I guarantee after 3 months she go dey move rhythmically while if I play ball with my son for garden for 6 months, he go dey raise 10 easily. All these lessons na keeping up with the Joneses wey mummies group dey do.

when we were in the UK, my old man HATED christmas because all the neighbours would get us [the kids] gifts - which meant he HAD to recipocate . christmas was AWESOME for us as kids. for my dad, not so much. there are pictures of us absolutey surrounded by presents

Christmas billing is unavoidable but the drawback be say you won't get the credit. All credit goes to Santa.

afrodoc2:
The worst thing to do is to immigrate and start living Oyinbo lifestyle. That your Aussie colleague you are emulating by eating out and going on vacation yearly started working and contributing to his pension at about 16-18, and at age 30 has already bought his own house (and is well into paying it off) and has 100k to 150k saved up in his retirement savings. Meanwhile you as a Naija guy come in at 30 and when you convert your 5m naira savings it is less than 10k.

Na pesin head wey no correct go get budget problems from eating out, but some folks just love to perform. Despite being a frugal nigga, I still find money flying out at rate of knots and I'm not seeing it reflected in the clothes I wear or the food I eat. Na kids activities dey drive my lifestyle inflation. Sometimes I look at what I lived on as a student and the kids are gulping that in just activities, parties and presents monthly. And it's very sneaky as well. Your wife will just tell you, honey I'm signing them up to piano lessons, it's £50 each, you nod head and £100 has flown out the door for lessons where they will probably miss 2 of the 4 lessons in the month. Add football lessons, tennis, dancing lessons, swimming, these guys are burning money. Time done reach to review all these things. What use is 45 minutes of football lessons a week and they can't trap ball, something you can teach them better in your back garden. You've been paying for dancing lessons for 3 years and they can't even do basic one-two step, na to dey twirl hand for air like ballerina, a dancing style they will never use in the real world.

Even parties they attend every other weekend and must buy present so that they can also receive present when it's their birthday. These are the insidious elements of lifestyle inflation that you won't notice creeping up on you like a thief in the night.

Davido said November 18 has been declared "davido day" in Atlanta by the Mayor of the city. I've checked a lot of American blogs and news outlets but I couldn't find anything like that. I wonder why only Nigerian news outlets are carrying it.

That was how they said one city in the US declared one day as wizkid day only for the lie to get busted few weeks later.

All these our celebrities and lamba ehn

Mayor declaration means nothing, it's only ceremonial, it's not like the City will go on holiday. Every single day of the year, they pick someone to celebrate

Amoto94:
João Félix’s recent performances have raised concerns at Atlético Madrid. The player has not scored in his last 11 matches for Barcelona.

• The club would consider negotiations for €70/80m for the player, but Barcelona’s financial situation makes it difficult.

• Unless there is a drastic turnaround in his performances, it is not ruled out that the player could be loaned out again.

When I was calling to spend the £20m loan fee to buy Marcus Thuram outright in January, a strong and versatile player that can play CF and wings, Swiz123 was prioritising 6 months of unproductive flicks and tricks. Thuram is now killing them in InterMilan on the wings

These people just use African food name to scam their customers . I can’t see any moin moin in this video yet they call it moin moin .

The moin moin is hiding under the tomato

From the shape of the moin moin, it was boiled in a cylindrical plastic container thereby absorbing carcinogens from the plastic. You would have thought with all this packaging and billing, they will boil it inside plantain leaf

nihilistjnr:
That boiled potato topping was diabolical. When they brought the guy to our table, he con dey shslaye say he picked all the herbs from the mountains, and the water used to mix the dough was bottled in the dolomites. I wanted to punch his face.

obainojazz:
Why people full local restaurants… My plate better be overflowing if I’m paying that kind amount

These two plates cost me around $76… much better

I guess they added cost of packaging in yours

Na my brother pick the bill, I resemble Maga?

Imagine this plantain inside whisky. Based on the boujie settings, I come dey reason say if I chop the plantain after I finish the whisky, whether dem go look me like razz guy?

Meanwhile see moi moi wey go Harvard.

BlueRayDick:
They didn't sign any agreement na. That's why Charles thinks he can run him streets and he will keep quite

Exactly. Did he protest when Charles paid him N5m? Na when he see Wetin Charles collect wey him longathroat enter.

Besides who is to say they deserve equal pay. So Charles no deserve finders privilege for working the deal, and Charles probably wrote the script of whatever they did. Therefore they are not equal partners. If two people act film and one of them wrote the script, they will not receive equal pay. Charles has 3 elements to receive payment for, his own performance, his writing of script and his business administration in setting up and operationalising the deal. Portable only has.one element which is his performance. Charles na contractor, Portable na subcontractor and he was happy with the terms of his subcontract until he saw what the main contractor received.

BlueRayDick:
I have watched the video of both parties and in my honest opinion Charles took advantage of him. Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong person to play a fast one on.

Charles paid him N5m thinking portable will take it and be grateful since he already bought ticket for him and his wife and fed them, he didn't know portable will go and find out from the source the exact money they paid charles.

If Charles want peace make he just call am give am like another N5m and settle the matter off camera

Which contract Portable sign?

Charles na the Agent. Dem pay Charles N40m if he can deliver both himself and Portable. Portable agree N5m with Charles. Nothing consign Portable with wetin Charles collect from the sponsor. Na Charles hire am.

You are aright. I thought you were quoting in response to the pic. I didn't see the 15goals indicator of 2004/2005 season.

BlueRayDick:
Something tells me the last set of people that will make serious money from milking afrobeat will be dem Burnaboy set. Those that will come after them are already sounding boring and talentless

They will continue to milk because Nigerian population in diaspora who spend the money that pays them is growing while theiir friends who aren't even Nigerian are into the music, slang and culture now

Emaprince:
Essien was. That's the 2005/2006 season, when essien was bought after missing out on Gerard.

I think Gudjohnson left .

I think you are referring to 2004/2005 season when we still had the trio makalele, lampard, gudjohnson or Tiago in the midfield.

Na you I quote? Go back and check who I quote and what I was referring to

Griffon:
Essien stepped into the team during the defense I suppose?

No he hadn't signed then. He came 2005
