Rigged or not, the fact that APC got more than 500k votes after the eight miserable years of Buhari is a good reason for any reasonable human being to write off Nigeria totally. I could care less.

It has little to do with market forces and more to do with black people being shameless race of people.

How can Nigeria depend on Europe to refine oil extracted from their backyard and the refined products shipped back to them for purchase in this 2023? West Africa has a large deposit of natural resources that they don't know exist. They rely on the West and China to point the resources out, mine and dictate the price. Their leaders are happy to get tokens back to buy shiny SUVs and indulge in their fantasies.

In all, don't forget that we are the most "educated". No! We attend school the most but are the least educated because evidently Nigerians do not know what education is. Is there anything about Nigeria that points to about 10 educated people in the whole country? It is not about blowing grammar--too many empty barrels with degrees.

Every good thing comes with a sacrifice.

It is delusional to want a perfect life without obstacles.

Perfect family, perfect marriage, perfect income, perfect environment. Dream on!

Sorry to hear.

Men are afraid of approaching women these days for fear of false accusations if the relationship doesn't work out. It costs a lot of money, time and energy to clear (if at all possible) oneself from such labels. No narration ends without a sprinkle of domestic violence to seek empathy and our amiable doctor didn't fail I'm that aspect.

The worker shared a photo of a fine house on Twitter with the caption: "With 5M, I can build this 2 bedroom house for you if you already have a land."

N5 mllion can do it.

But make sure you keep extra N5million on the side for the long stories that will follow once the project starts.

A good contractor doesn't need to cheat the client. All he needs is tell the client, "oga enter motor make we go market go buy materials". When client reach market, he go respect himself

The house even carry pillars and decking sef. Y16 and Y12 rods will be laughing at the client.

In summary, there is no way the contractor will embark on this project at that price without the case reaching police station.

Economics is more complex than alcohol and alcoholics.

/

There is nothing complicated about Economics.

Common sense Economics still beats textbook Economics. Your father may be a better Economist without degree than Emefile but academic degree is what's intimidating you. The reason they plot Demand and Supply graph is to make it seem more complicated than it is. A market woman in Osogbo understands the principles without fancy graphs. Do you ever wonder why professors in Economics are not the wealthiest in the world?


That's why the Economics you study in school is about how those with common sense solved their challenges. They may use jargons to confuse and intimidate amateurs like you.

CodeTemplar:
Wrong approach.

Even if they increase it by 10,000%, the prices of goods will more than increase proportionately after some time.

And those cut off from the extra money distribution or not directly connected to govt spendings get little from it thus remain poorer while prices skyrocket.

Jesus said, "the poor will always be with you" for a reason. Poverty is a relative phenomenon.

The solution to an alcoholic's problem is not giving him more alcohol.

Excess liquidity will yield runaway inflation.

If they like let them pay N1,000,000 as minimum wage, it will not resolve anything as long as Nigeria is hugely dependent on importation and consumption. Naira will to go the toilet and a loaf of bread may cost N10,000. It is not about digits and numbers but the purchasing power of the currency. They know what to do to fix the foundation.

Venezuela(another petrodollar nation) hiked minimum wage by 275% from 40k to 150k bolivars in 2019---the third hike in the same year. What happened? The economy was already in shambles and inflation jumped to 684% totally negating the increment in minimum wage. So Nigeria is just chasing the tail.

Funny.

fadsam:
I notice some or most of ladies have turn themselves to absolute parasites,calling men that cant or wouldnt fund their fantasy life-style broke and lazy.
Meanwhile the only reason i figured out so far for this mentality is wretchedness, extreme poverty has wallowed their generation so much that they now see man as automated poverty alleviator even when they have nothing to offer, imagine a grown up lady that the only phone her father has ever bought for her is a toy phone, now demanding iphone,samsung from another man.
If a young man is lazy,broke & useless to u because he didnt have up to a million in his account,pls what is ur father that is grown up & his account is like a radio frequency channel.

The blame is on the weak man who's hurt because he couldn't get validation from women. He should check himself.

Merry100:
Some men ask their wives to become full-time housewives after marriage. However, if you are not interested in being a full-time housewife, it is important to emphasize this to your partner before marriage. This is one of the factors that create problems in a marriage.

/
Full-time housewife is the most sought after profession now. Who needs stress? As long as oga is bringing home enough money, na to sit home, cook, watch TV and attend to kids sure pass. Just do a small "we love you" rehearsal to welcome him back. That's all.

/

/
Even if they increase the minimum wage to N1 million, inflation will rise to render it valueless. A country full of obligate consumers with minimal production will suffer.
One would think that Agriculture will be a central point in university education to create local content. But Nigerian education system is still offering many courses in science and Humanities that have no real-life application in the country or continent. What is education?

Someone who studies Sociology, Geography, Botany, etc is automatically a heavy liability to his family and society at large.

Peter and Andrew lived thousands of years ago. So don't justify your laziness with their lifestyles.

The citizens of the great and progressive countries in the world do not waste their time praying and fasting for divine Providence. They work. They are the ones actually supporting the prayerful nations like Nigeria littered with unproductive prayer warriors.

Donkogbe:
This is a true life story about me.
I don't know how to write so don't mind my text errorrs.

I came from a very poor background and a divided family with no single love among siblings. Its affected my mental health allot.
My mother gave birth to 8 children. 4 girls 4 boys and i am the last born. I have never enjoy my childhood because i was surrounded with brothers and sisters that don't like each other and the hatred grew that my elder brother from another father bullied and gave me a tough childhood till i grew to be a tennager. i endure everything but i was setting my head on what could be going wrong in the family maybe it is a curse or something.

i fought my way through school and struggled to pay my tuition fee plus accommodation and life expenses. I was living in face me and slap you in abeokuta and i experienced one of the dreadful moments of my existence. But glory to God it made me stronger and wise to be a man i am today.

I finish my service year this feb 2 and i went back to my mothers house because i lost allot of money from a trip that took me and my ex from jos to lagos. i went back to ogun state to stay with my mum God so good she traveled to london to stay with my rich sister from another father ( the family is so divided that nobody love each other, the rich don't want to help but taking care of our mother) She travelled for 4month and i was able to save my apartment money.

Just today to the Glory of God, the poor boy that was digraced and shamed in abeokuta, the boy they have written off and said he can never make it in life or do good things HAS JUST SEALED AND PAID IN CASH HIS APARTMENT DREAM. This will be the first time i will be experiencing maximum privacy.

I am not showing off or trying to brag. I am only setting it out to whoever come accross this story that " whatever you set your mind to do irrespective of coming from a very poor background" with focus and diligence, YOU WILL ACHIEVE THEM. Stay blessed

OP please push to FP. i need to see people comment and views.

Flee from any lady whose importance and essence of living is tied to finance.

No man lives his full life on earth without challenges. If and when such challenges come, a money conscious lady will abandon him to his fate. So why would a man contemplate keeping such lady around? The word I am looking for is stupidity.

Emekaphilip360:
Is Nigeria the hell they are talking about ? Nigeria is like hell on earth. Because you can’t suffer in Nigeria and still go to the real hell. If you have money in this country, you don’t know what God has done for you.

People are just suffering and smiling. I won’t lie it’s affecting my business as well but i thank God. This fuel subsidy removal is really affecting lot of people around my area. People can’t afford 3 square meal anymore. Please check on the less privileged and render any help you can to them.

Nigeria may not be the hell but it is difficult to tell the difference.

There is no reason anyone that live in Nigeria should be scared of hell.

Everyday you see engineers and other workers go to work at the Ministry of Works. At the end of the month they get paid. It makes one wonder exactly what they do. Just like the four dilapidated refineries that gulp billions in salaries every year. Are people getting paid to be unproductive?

This is very stupid.

The gas(Nitrous oxide) has been in use for centuries for medical purposes. For the fact that some people abuse it doesn't mean it should become a contraband.

So if some morons find out that inhaling oxygen from a tank with salt in their mouth make them high, should the NDLEA raid outlets that sell oxygen tanks and salt? What if fire extinguisher has other uses? Will it become illegal? People use house paints to get high. Should they raid every outlet selling paints? When there is a will, there is a way. Up until last week, most Nigerians are not aware of other uses of this gas. People will continue to get high one way or the other.

As long as they are not hurting anyone else, let them keep killing themselves slowly.

Only the poor jubilate whenever the FG and her agencies do small shakara to pretend that dem dey fight corruption. It is always a shake down.

Loan App business exist and are thriving because kind-hearted individuals that could lend money to people with no interest attached will never get the money back.

Do I support their tactics? No! But based on the environment they are operating in and the kind of people they are dealing with, it is an open season.

Can Germans allow people from Ghana to go there and create a nation for them that includes French, Danes, and Germans and call it Federal Republic of Wafflearia (Waffle Area) ?

Let’s be serious

Did you allow the ones that colonized you or they beat you into submission? Ghana can if they have the balls. Do they? It takes balls of steel to colonize others which Africans don't possess against Oyibo. Don't blame others for your weakness.

Have you heard of OPC or ESN in the North? But you have heard of Fulani herdsmen in the SW and SE causing havoc. Now that's what it takes to colonize others. Go into their territory and beat them to submission. Who is the boss?

One of the best news so far.

Why would brothers and sisters be communicating with one another in a foreign language? Imagine going to Germany and hearing them doing their plenary sessions in Yoruba. Yeah! That's how absurd we look.

Some morons even have the effrontery to be unanointed grammar police that shame others for improper grasp of English language. Many English people in their native countries can barely read or write in English.

Lexzeey:
What exactly do people aim to achieve when they come online to front how successful Thier life is?

Most of them will claim they're motivating people, motivating people to feel bad?

Or look down on themselves for not trying hard enough in life, if you are really motivating people you'd show them how to make something of their lives too, your motivation is even doing the opposite, its inciting people to become desperate to make same money or force it by going into crime or fraud.

Go to Instagram you'll see many of them clout chasing, even on nairaland dairy section them plenty, what exactly are you doing, people wey no Sabi you, they're not your family you're seeking validation under the guise of motivation.

The UAE spender that was arrested earlier sweet my belle, such laws should be enacted in Nigeria because we have the biggest number of clout chasers in this country, you'll see many people tapping in to grace under their post.

Anyone who is successful have one story to tell about how they suffered for their money, you think I'd tell you the dirty things I did to make money if I'll become successful?

Let us stop glorifying this clout chasing, tapping into grace on social media won't change your life, the way people react to the posts from this clout chasers is the reason they keep posting, if you abandon thier post and don't interact they'll slow down, move at your own pace no allow anybody give you high BP or make you feel you're not doing enough, they don't care about you, they're only posting the riches so you can validate to make them feel good and make you feel like you're not serious with your life.

I know many of you will call me jealous and say no one owes me anything, yes but constituting a nuisance affects my sanity, and everyone needs thier sanity, can't you celebrate your wealth by buying nice things and treating yourself well?

Must you flaunt it online?

How many people you dey help with your flaunting?

Self-esteem cannot be bought in the market.

Rarely do materialsm fill the void in someone's personal life.
