₦airaland Forum

Thegamingorca:
The gaming section died eons ago. What's left in there are scrappers of remnants in a wasteland.

The only thing I can say might be worthwhile in there now are empty halls of topics that tell the story of a once thriving community which sadly faded into nothing.

I go into different sections and for every serious thread there are about 25 spam threads lol

professore:
sup can we chat probably on WhatsApp? Thanks.

No sorry, hope you're well though

Thegamingorca:
Nothing is appealing anymore. If it wasn't for the travel section I woulda probably deactivated

What about your gaming section?

Thegamingorca:
my kind of topics seldom make front page nowadays.

Naira land is dead

Yeah I go through phases where I find it dead too, I was away for like over a year. I usually find the election periods interesting on here though

Thegamingorca:
You want to see him contribute

Thegamingorcaa

Yes I do, funnily enough you two kind of remind me of each other

Rdfactor:
You opened this nairaland account in 2008. That's about 15years. If you can maintain one account from then till now, you'll be able to maintain and value friendship and relationship. You're a queen

Lol urm thanks

How was this poll conducted?

sukkot:
wagwannnnnnn ibkayeeeeeeeeeeee holla

I mentioned you because this is your type of food

Every iPhone I've used, I just prefer the simplicity/seamlessness of the user interface

A Nigerian in disguise trying to rightly hype Nigerians

Lmao!

MALIGNANTGuest:
These Topics again and again

Can't we have scientific and nationhood debates and discussions on this platform?
Can't we address our extincting languages across Africa?

Up till this moment, a majority of Africans still use English Language as a measure of brilliance and intelligence, which is like every language out there. Shouldn't we address all these?

Nigerians practice open defecation till this moment, shouldn't we address it?
Nigerians rarely manage waste disposal properly, shouldn't we address this?
What's all these women and single mothers matter

You want to discuss all of this in the romance section?

girlygirlyMain:
Unless you've never lived in the UK,
"Sweetheart" na national slang...
You go buy coffee, *do you want some cream in there sweetheart?"
You wan buy train ticket, "what plan do you want sweetheart?"
It's used everywhere in the UK...

You're treading on dangerous grounds if you say it to a student though

I don’t think Nigerian kids are that much better behaved than oyinbos, even with all the free rein to discipline as you want in Nigeria, we still have issues of cultism, rudeness, delinquency, spoiled children, drugs etc.

Solofresh2:
okay I get you.I am the guy in question
She is a friend and I am developing little feelings for her.Though,i haven't told her yet and am traveling out of Nigeria next year by late January
Compliments of the season

I suspected

If you’re travelling then don't even bother, you’ll be wasting both your time and her own, on a foundation that’s already shaky. Bikonu lol

Seasons greetings

ecolime:
You are the one talking rubbish. What's your NET & disposable income from the £2,300?

How are you able to afford a mortgage with that peanut?

You think everyone on NL is an ignorant poor man like you

Cost of living will be different per area, £28000 is not even peanuts in London, it’s the shell of the peanut so it’s considered very low

However that kind of salary may spread further in Telford

Solofresh2:
Different places in what sense

22 year old - new graduate, seeking for a job or has an entry level job, not likely looking to settle down, biologically speaking brain has not even fully developed/matured

27 year old (with child) - still young but likely more established career wise than a 22 year old, higher chance of looking to settle down than 22 year old, looking after a child is a lot of work and responsibility and catapults you into another layer of maturity, even for a 27 year old

A 22 year old guy and 27 year old lady (with a child) will typically be in VERY different places in their lives

Toyotas aren't known for prestige or aesthetics, they're known for being economical and reliable with low maintenance, so at least you get 2/4 requirements ticked

I'd go with the Camry

Ask Tinubu to summarise his own manifesto and he will probably decline too. This guy does not have the interest of the masses at heart, he can't even pretend. Becoming the president is his retirement plan, you will get nothing from him but entitlement, shouting 'emi lo kan' like a toddler.

sukkot:
forget that thing oooo. teachers collect hot slaps from students in normal and grammar and private schools. and quite frankly as a black person nobody is hiring you into private or grammar schools anyway. you are going to state schools were young jamaican thugs will be slapping you everyday

Lmao clown

sukkot:
nna mayneeeeeeeeee all the kids are the same. whether na grammar or normal or private school. all spoilt brats with a sense of superiority to any other race and they are ready to give you wotowoto especially if you are from africa

I'm saying 'wotowoto' that comes in the form of violent slaps is more likely to come from a normal state school. Grammar and private school kids are troublesome too but their misbehaviour will likely manifest itself in other ways, not violent slaps on the teacher

sukkot:
lol ibkayee fear mongering kwanu ?

ok check this link out where it shows one in every 4 teachers collect hot wotowoto slaps from students EVERY WEEK in the uk

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/apr/20/one-in-four-teachers-experience-violence-from-pupils-every-week

Lol I think it depends on the type of school, teachers will have different experiences at a normal state school vs grammar school vs private. This sounds like something more likely to happen in a normal state school in a 'not so great' area

If you're in Nigeria you may need to get her family involved or do some light threatening to get her off your back, I don't see any other avenue for help

€15 million is chicken change and those farmers will be lucky to see 0.1% of that payment (shoutout to Rambo from Far From Home)

sukkot:
the uk is a land of unique circumstances. you raise your voice against children thats an assault. you may not do time in prison but you will do a few hours in a jail cell . and what do you mean no one can assault you and go free ? maybe in america but in the uk assault is no big deal like that . just depends on who is being assaulted. if its a white woman or children then they will make it a big deal. if its guys or immigrants ? its no big deal

Lol sukkot this your fear mongering

Teachers coming from Naija and going to the UK will be going from one extreme to another

You'll be going from a place where you essentially have free rein to assault a student under the name of 'discipline', to a place where teachers have minimal rights to enforce it and when they do it's heavily regulated

being:
U haven't even mentioned the 40% tax yet..

And some will completely ignore the situation described above forgetting that having a 1-0-1 food regime in Nigeria is better than being insulted by kids...

Actually with that salary it will be a 20% tax rate on anything above £12,571 so the take home will not be £2,300 @ecolime

£28,000 is a low salary sha, teachers in the UK are notoriously paid low. Even private school teachers aren't paid much better

But then again, is it much better in Naija? Anyone planning to take this opportunity should weigh their options and pick their poison

That saying, many people trying to japa are also looking for a saner and better functioning society, not just money

Good luck to them

I'm not a lifestyle coach, nutritionist or therapist but please try to muster up some self respect otherwise these babes you're begging will eat you alive. Good luck

Wtf is Comely Queen, omg Nigerians can hold a pageant for tissue paper

Anyway fine girl, congrats

Doesn't look like she's looking at him, she and the lady behind her are looking in the same direction
