Short answer : Yes.
Long answer : The idea is not really an original Nigerian one. It is copied from the sane climes. The difference is, in saner climes, there's more orderliness and accountability.

ERockson:
The little fame Oriyomi got has enter his head. I believe he will know his level thereafter. Nigeria politics is beyond Gbenusi mic. Apart from Mr Oriyomi's little philanthropic gesture, the man is more or less an illiterate individual with a lot of illiterates on his side. I like him but he crosses lines many times with his excessiveness.

He possess tyrant quality and maybe that's what Oyo state need anyway. Good luck Mr Oriyomi but can we say all the good works and philanthropic works you've done were politically motivated

Oriyọmi an illiterate?
What do you understand by the word illiterate?
How do you arrive at the judgement that hundred of thousands of people that follow him are illiterate just like himself?

Politics › Re: Trump To Impose 50% Tariffs On EU Due To Fail Discussions And Trade Manipulation by Ilaje44(m): 3:40pm On May 23, 2025

DadojoReloaded:
I can't blame Trump on this one. The EU is actually a tough place to do business.

Imagine trying to negotiate with about 30 countries over unfair trade practices. There's bound to be a lot of bottle necks.

Starting or registering a company in Europe is expensive, taxes are high, you also have customer data protection laws that your company can break without even realising and you will be fined heavily for it.

Ease of doing business is something else. It's probably Estonia and a handful of countries who are trying to break some of these barriers.

Can you give factual evidence of all you have ranted about?
Have you tried to register a business in any EU country? What issue did you face and what country/countries was/were that?
How can you claim you don't know the law of the place you are doing business? The EU is not Nigeria where someone wakes up and introduce a Bill and it is signed into law expressly. There is lengthy discussions and sensitisation.
There's nothing like the chaotic executive orders a la USA in the EU. Do you know how many executive orders Trump has introduced in his 5 months administration? And you are claiming ignorance of well debated and articulated law that went through the proper legislative channel?
By the way, why would you be negotiating with individual members when there's a responsible negotiation team of the umbrella organisation?

Travel › Re: Japa: I Am Confused, Please Advise. by Ilaje44(m): 12:15pm On Sep 02, 2023

Usefulsense:
This is my story. Please advice.

I sent my wife to Australia in 2021 on student visa.

She has invited us, myself and our children aged 12 and 9 and our visa is out. I have also paid like 6 months fees for my children school which was a requirement for the visa.

Owing to her performance at her work place, the company she works for has promised to sponsor for PR. Infact, the process just began and we are sure of having the PR.

I am currently 48 and won't be able to support my family working in Nigeria. Wify has encouraged me that we will be fine that abroad is meant for 2 people.

My only constraint is my age, hence my question. If you are in my shoe, will you travel?

By the way, I work for a private firm here in Nigeria and you know what it is working for a family company.

I usually read news and do no longer comment much on Nairaland topics. However, I felt the need to air my opinion on your topic.
Firstly, let me tell you that life is very tough every where since Covid and even tougher with the ongoing Ukrainian crisis.
Secondly, you being the "bread winner / boss" of the family and the idea of losing this honourable part of your life is very understandable. However, you should be able to adjust if you are able to reach a compromise. By the way, even in the abroad, you should be able to set up your own enterprise if you put your mind into it.
Thirdly, I can assure you that 48 is still a young age to relocate. I have seen people older than you relocating and starting completely afresh. Some successful and some not so much. However, you should count yourself lucky that you're not starting from the beginning without some foundation since your madam is already gainfully employed. Nonetheless, I will not want to paint everything as rosy whereby in reality you will face some difficulties i.e. missing friends and family back home in Nigeria, not finding a befitting job, being home and doing nothing etc. This can be very depressing for a human. Now, the saving grace is that OZ is not as cold as up above in Europe here or in CANUSA.
Fourthly, believe everything will be good and work towards same. Start working on your CeeVee. It is well with you my brother.
Wish you all the best.
NB: The journey to OZ is going to be long, take something to occupy the children and yourself with you like books etc.

Africa gang leaders rely so much on charms. ...and e dey fail them steady

Most of them rely on Jesus and Allah and even donate a part of their blood money to the church and the mosque. However, when their cup becomes full, neither Jesus nor Allah has been able to save them.
Even very good people I knew, who relied so much on Jesus and Allah respectively, were killed by diseases.
If your time is up, your time is up, whether you rely on Charms, Jesus or Allah. That's what life experience has thought me in my near 60 years on this earth.
You do not need to mock those who believe in something different than you believe, because same can be said for your god too.

MOMENT PSQUARE,TIMAYA,PHYNO & FLAVOUR VISIT & BOW TO GREET KING SUNNY ADE AT MIKEL ADENUGA 70 BIRTHDAY

A clip of veteran Nigerian singer and Afrojuju legend King Sunny Ade receiving young artists; Flavour, Timaya, Phyno, PSquare and Teni at his estate has stirred reactions One of the highlights of the clip was the moment Flavour went on all fours to greet the Afrojuju legend KSA received the young singers as they were en route to Nigerian billionaire Mike Adenuga's birthday celebration as he turned 70

Seeing some Nigerian singers pay homage to one of the pioneers of the country's music industry, King Sunny Ade (KSA) was quite a sight. A clip of Flavour, Timaya, Jude Okoye and the P-Square duo visiting KSA and humbly recognising the legendary Afrojuju singer was exceptional

King Sunny Ade is not an Afrojuju legend. The one and only Afrojuju legend is Sir Shina Peters. The King is a Juju legend and a music maestro. Please kindly take note.

Judybash93:
You probably caught a dwarf crocodile!
I repeat, there are no alligators in Africa!
Show us proof.. until then, your info is false

I told you my experience when I was a young fisherman in Nigeria some 40 odd years ago when you were probably not yet conceived and you are asking for a picture?
Have you set a trap in your life?
Sure, a lot of animals and plants (for most part undocumented) that existed back then, have gone extinct. And no, it was not because of over hunting. A lot of them died out due to the loss of their natural habitat.
Can you imagine that we caught the alligator, which by the way was not dwarf in any ramification, and the crocodiles in the Ogudu/Maryland axis of Lagos? Those were thick Forest back then and the "odò ìyá Aláró" Water system used to be a good fishing and hunting area. Now, that river was turned into a canal in 1995 and it is a stinky body of water today. If you take a walk from Maryland to Ọjọ́ta or Ogudu to Ifako/Oworonsoki, you cannot escape the malodour from that canal.
So you see, even if I cannot provide a pictorial evidence, it is not enough for you to discard my experience and make ridiculous assumptions, because in my language, we definitely can tell apart "ẹlẹ́gungùn" from "ọ̀nẹ̀ / Ọ̀nì".

In another you said

The poverty and illiteracy Capital of the universe can't be a Giant!

If it is the capital of illiteracy and poverty of the whole universe, surely it must be a Giant in poverty and illiteracy, because the universe is definitely infinitely gigantic you know. Perhaps you did not understand what you were talking about?

Judybash93:
It's a crocodile! There are no alligators in Africa except if you go to the zoo

Where did you get the information from that there are no alligators in Africa?
The people that put that up probably have not been to the tropical rainforest region of Africa.
As someone that have caught both alligator and crocodile (even though it is a while back in the 1980ies) , I can tell you that your source is very wrong.
Alligator have short snout and yellow underbelly.
Crocodile on the other hand have a longer snout and a white underbelly.
They are also differentiable by the noises they make.

I believe you're the one that need to educate yourself. If you read and understood the information you provided, you wouldn't have opened your mouth to embarrass yourself. It's clearly explained what basic food items is and what's not exempted. If you learn to argue level headedly instead of hastily trying to score a cheap point, you wouldn't be embarrassing yourself.

Op olodo...no VAT on selected basic food items. You must be a graduate without knowledge.

If you are knowledgeable, When you were charged in Portharcourt, you were supposed to know that they are doing the wrong thing in Rivers, while Borno doing the right thing.
