Japa no be fight, already 99% of the population is beyond japa such as the almajiris, rural community, over 35s, non-graduates, children etc. It's more for young men and women with skills that are coveted in Obodo Oyinbo, or those with intellectual capacity to develop those skills through post graduate studies.

You still have many people in Naija making it big, but it's a much much smaller subset of the population. It's just a game of chance and probability. And if you put yourself in a subset with higher probability, chances are it will favour you.

The cost-benefit analysis of earning say N1m pcm in Nigeria really doesn't cut it compared to a like-for-like comparison with a professional abroad regardless of purchasing power. In a like for like comparison, the guy abroad will still save N1.5m to N2m per month, see other increase in property equities, pensions, still move back to Naija and be in an immeasurably better position than the guy who stayed. That does not factor exigencies like healthcare, education, security, and ability of children to operate within the society. Most guys in Naija who earn that N1m all their career will still give up every single spare cash they saved throughout their career to send their children abroad for University. That says it all.

Boris Johnson has never lost an election in his life at any level. That includes vote for President of the Oxford Union, 4 elections as Member for Parliament, two elections as London Mayor, Brexit vote, vote for leadership of Conservative party, general election as prime minister, now this no-confidence vote.

No be like those who try and fail, then try again till they succeed. Dem no born anybody papa well to defeat Boris in election. The jagaban of UK with unblemished electoral record.

And now Now this (In Trevor Noahs voice)

As the Nation awaits the nomination of the APC Presidential Flagbearer, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, met with some governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the north at the Presidential Villa Abuja and among other things, debunked the rumours which gained traction earlier in the day that the ruling party had settled for Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.

Sources at the meeting stated that the President distanced himself from the alleged endorsement of Lawan by the APC’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/06/buhari-meets-northern-governors-debunks-claim-on-consensus-candidate/

lol. A riddle wrapped in an enigma. Chairman no get blockos to work for Lawan in defiance of the two head hunchos Buhari and Tinubu

As long as there's no consensus, Tinubu wins easily

raumdeuter:
APC chairman in one direction
Governors in one direction
Buhari in one direction

Chairman is working for Buhari

raumdeuter:
ibime larride

APC chairman announce Lawan as consensus candidate

Na wa oh, even after what the Governor's wrote

Wahala now na how to get the Governors to make their delegates vote for Lawan. By tonight we go see whether Buhari get power with the Governors or not

Do you know what Foreign Reserve means? FG has only 38 Billion in Foreign reserve.

Foreign Reserve isn't even for spending. Govt cannot sequester it for anything, it's only for managing currency and balance of payments

nihilistjnr:
Where is FG going to find 200 billion dollars from sir?

You said you don't support taxes. You said stealing electricity is not a crime.

How do you expect FG to fund these fantastical schemes?

You haven't really thought about any of this have you?

That guy is never realistic

FG budget is $28bln of which $10bln is financed by borrowing

Na Russia go help FG fund the $200bln electricity capital investment by stealing Ukraine lands in order to upset the world order

As for the NEPA issue, it fell into my lap. My building has 4 apartments. It's the kind of storey building that has 2 apartments downstairs with 3 bedroom and 2 apartments upstairs with 3 bedroom. So we are 4 in the compound. It was a joint effort, will I say no to my neighbors and be the odd one out when I see that opportunity? Will you?.
All of us put money together to bribe the NEPA officials and it has been working for us. I'm not proud of it but I'm also not ashamed, it's the system. I didn't go looking for it.

I just wanted to point out the kind of people he should be comparing to.

The man said a minimum wage earner was living pay check to pay check, like that's not what minimum wage earners are supposed to do.

He should trying getting by on even NYSC allawee first, before discussing a minimum wage earner in the united states

Even at that, Nigerians know how to cøck-nyash and the message is for Nigerians who will expect to live frugally when they are fresh, not Oyinbo that goes out and blow $100 every weekend.

I saw one girl complaining on TV that her salary is not enough to stretch through the month, and in the background, I saw Warburtons bread and that 10 big eggs brand. I had to laugh. She doesn't know her problem.

BasedUsername:
This is a pretty nebulous term that refers to longtime politicians and government officials working to fill their pockets and power. Eg: politicians in bed with the military industrial complex, FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page investigating Trump while really, really wanting him out.



Rich oligarchs who lobby for government policies that they believe would bring down the cost of living.


Having a heavily-linked global economy where countries depend on each other. The issue is that it tries to ignore historical, cultural, ave political differences that could cause friction between nations.



This is some Christian shxt, let them explain it.


From Wikipedia:
"The Great Reset is the name of the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held in June 2020. The meeting soon became the focus of various conspiracy theories. It brought together high-profile business and political leaders, convened by Charles, Prince of Wales and the WEF, with the theme of seizing upon the global crisis to rebuild society and the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic."

I personally don't believe high-profile business and political leaders have my best interests in mind.



This just means mainstream media. I have no idea how this is a conspiracy theory. People from sides of the political spectrum have spoken critically about the msm.



Not too familiar with this term.



How you'd describe Fox News



The laptop definitely exists. Now, I don't believe it contains EVIDENCE OF HEINOUS CRIMES AND SATANIC RITUALS THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE IMPEACHMENT AND EXECUTION OF JOE BIDEN.

However, when the New York Post broke the story without any conspiracy theories attached to it, Twitter banned their account, the account of a century-old news org. That was bad and exposed Twitter's bias

That's how it starts. Soon all the above will become part of your daily lexicon

You think people who sell their entire inheritance and savings in Nigeria to go abroad are not serious and willing?

You are already giving excuses why abroad will not work so you must be part of the unwilling

In UK here, you can live on N0.7m monthly and there is no way you will not earn N1m monthly after tax just working minimum wage. That's living as a freshie off the boat. Once your leg done dey strong, you will see what pays more and gravitate towards that as most common-sense Nigerians do. Your spending will then increase substantially, as will your take-home pay. But you are focussing on the cost of bills, converting to Naira in your head and being intimidated by it, instead of focussing on the income that make such bills possible.

The girl who can't dance will say the band can't play

We pay very low taxes in Nigeria. In America my poultry farm would most likely be taxed. My wife's salary is not taxed at all. Mine is deducted from the ministry but my tax is just 15k monthly. But federal government pays emoluments and allowances.

I also don't go to work everyday. The same thing with many of my colleagues. We have a system that covers for each other. I go to work only 3 times in a week.
You can't have such laxity abroad. You will work through your nose.

Lastly let me tell you the icing on the cake, I haven't paid nepa bill in 3 years. Around us we have people that rig the meter, so it doesn't read. When the nepa people come much later, we settle the staff and he goes. This cannot happen in abroad.

At each point, you are stealing from Nigeria, yet you say people should stay and join hands to make Nigeria better

Godx:
Bro I have heard life experiences from people who went and returned. A cousin of ours who have B S from an American university returned last December after completion of his education and gave us first hand account of how Nigerians, blacks are going through hard times there. When you are broke in America you will realize how easy you have it in Nigeria. If you go abroad you will see people that sold their inheritance to travel and they are stuck. If there are 100 people abroad , maybe 5 may be successful but the other 95 will be full of regrets. The high cost of living there negates any perceived positive.

Where the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways, but where it is unwilling, it will find a thousand excuses

Skimpledawg:
Big man, see eh, Nigeria is a hole for reals. It can make you go mad and crazy same time.

Around December last year, I was driving interstate with my wife to go for a Christian program I was invited for at Makurdi from PH.

Using Google map made me not to drive on full speed plus my babe no dey gree make i fire as I been dey fire when I single.
Omo, after Enugu, heading towards Otukpo around that 6.30/7pm, I saw scores of scantily dressed young men numbering about 15 with locally made guns and cutlasses coming out of the surrounding thick bushes and hills towards the roads. Few started running towards my car from the other lane

If I been no kpai that day, forget. In split seconds, I increased speed and zeroed my mind that any bastard that enters my front will have a date with his maker that evening.

My hands, legs and every part of my body shook for 10mins. It started to dawn on me that this was how people die on the highway; kidnappings, rape and the likes.

For church program wey I dey go? I told God, "Baba, we gats reason o, shey na like this we go dey"?

The thought that I could have lost my life or my wife or even both scared the shiit out of me. Wife wey I just marry now now now I never chop well

Going to Benue by road because of program invite? Oga stop this recklessness please.

Kingsnairaland:
Putin is waging a war against over 40 countries and still advancing. One country holding the entire western world to ransom. Donbas is almost completely liberated. 20 years all of nato country's could not liberate Afghanistan from Taliban lol

And in 100 days Russia took the size of UK from Ukraine.

40 countries are not waging war with anything. Most weapons haven't reached Ukraine, only low range missiles to be provided, no Airforce cover, and Ukraine is not allowed to enter Russian territory before big bully release nukes.

Afghanistan is larger than Ukraine and was taken in 2 months. Taking and Governing are not the same thing. It's the Governing that lasted 20 years and only 3,500 troops died in that 20 years, there was no carpet bombing of civilian areas in order to "claim territory" they are supposed to be liberating. Compare to Russian losses in 102 days in Ukraine

Russia have embarrassed themselves in this war. Without a shadow of doubt, Denmark alone will defeat Russia in a conventional war without nukes.

Russia is using $60bln army budget to try to compete with US that has ten times that budget, meaning Russia is using most of it's budget to fund nukes, big missiles to compete with someone with big budget. While this is going on, regular combat weapons and training are being ignored, reducing Russia to a laughing stock that many European countries will defeat in conventional combat. Even regular maintenance and small details like night vision goggles etc seem to be missing from their regular toolkit. No be by big missiles alone

donjazet:
This video was the pure definition of a massacre. I believe that's why this particular incident has made national news. The scene is just too gory. It's really a shame. I hope to leave this country soon.

This pic got me bro. A man shielding his son. May the young man and the heroic father rest in peace. It shall never be well with those bastards. I apologise for the gory image

You say tribalism/religion is dividing Nigeria yet in your own family you are already having secondary and primary priority.

As a kid I always ask myself why in the neighborhood, you will see one big man and his brother is struggling in life or living in his BQ. When you reach that age you go know why.

raumdeuter:
Do you have kids of your own? IMO those are your primary responsibility. Cousins, nephew nieces are just secondary and dont take over your immediate family

Leave that young man. His age is speaking.

liveLongNprospa:
My youngest sibling just turned 5yrs old..

Oga tell me how I can look at him and think he is secondary when he can practically pass for my son..

Like I said, it's a different reality for all of us.

Wait till you born your own pikin

Nuclear family becomes extended when you have your own children.

benalvino3:
They will think it's a conspiracy. See Timiofak saying the deepstate is not real. Denying reality.

Sometimes I see what's going on in the US and realised how the TV series: prison break was trying to tell us there is an elite that runs a lot of things. In that TV series the deepstate is called : the company.

If you want to know how brainwashed and useless someones brain is, watch for these key words:

Deep State

Global elite

Globalisation

New World Order

Great reset

MSM

Mass formation psychosis

Fake news

Hunter Bidens laptop

You will never hear these words from a true conservative mouth, but check the zombies, they can't write a sentence without these. I have never seen Raum.deuter use these words as an example


These kind of talk used to be for far left conspiracy theorists until the orange man walked into town

[color=royalblue]Uba got 240,000 votes during the APC primary

Election gan gan, he got 40k votes

Una go dey yarn as if these figures written with pen and paper cannot be manipulated with pen and paper[/color]

The APC primary is the aberration here, not the election result.

That APC primary was a joke. They wrote millions of votes for Buhari in the primary so when the election comes and he gets millions, no one will claim wuruwuru. In writing millions for Buhari, they had to give hundreds of thousands to the rest. When did millions of people start voting in primary?

nihilistjnr:
You said it yourself.

You're a father of 3 on 128k monthly salary. I don't mean to be insensitive so I will try to pick my words carefully.

I cannot imagine the struggle, but I can recognise and empathise with you. I cannot in all good conscience though ever insinuate that there is hope for Nigera, as there is none.

Inflation will continue to eat at your income, and as you're a career civil servant, you are unlikely to easily transition to private sector in Nigeria. You are now at the mercy of your governor assuming you're a state civil servant, or whoever it is at federal level.

It's salary and pension they are using to pay delegates and campaign over the next few months.

I'm sorry if you feel insulted by the japa talk, but if you think it's going to get better, then who knows.

I will leave the subject now out of respect for your post. I wish you all thr beat though.

Make una try dey understanding. That salary is actually high up the salary scale on civil servant banding meaning he is doing well within the constraints of his environment. It should serve as motivation for the younger ones to Japa. If I'm onyemaair, I won't lie, you should be advising me to loot wotoporiously
