dhamiylhola: Person dey give detailed analysis you say he dey complicate things Nothing dey ever sit well for una
/ Your problem is comprehension. A car's documents comprise of Registration and proof of Insurance only. But in Nigeria, they want you to carry all kinds of documents --Registration, 3rd party insurance, Proof of Ownership, Tint permit, ECMR, etc. That's how they complicate otherwise simple things.
Travicon: Hello Nairalanders, I will try as much as possible to make the write-up short.
I am a 21years old guy at a Russian university with two Nigerian roommates (In the hostel though). We averagely get the same amount of money as an allowance monthly, but mine always finishes first.
I don't spend unnecessarily on myself, and we cook together. I discovered after two months of staying together that they care less about buying things that we generally use in the room. For instance, I always buy food season, detergents, and cooking oil (quite expensive).
I cook most of the time. Anytime I decide not to cook, we always go hungry and I can't cope with that. This has made my cash always run out faster and I can't stop them from eating my food or using the things I buy.
There was a time also I lend the last money with me (100k in naira) to my best friend then in Nigeria because he claimed his dad was sick and promised to repay by month-end. I didn't have anything to take me through the remaining days of the month but I gave it out because he was a close friend. Month-end, I couldn't get money from my sponsor because of some issues. I contacted my guy but he stopped replying to me on WhatsApp. I managed to get 20k but the rest is probably history now.
Whenever people talk about their problems, I always feel for them to the extent of giving out my money even if it's the last cash on me. I have never had a girlfriend, but I don't always have the strength to reject if a girl asks for airtime or money from me (including my mum and sisters though)
I always try to go to any length to see people happy even if it means borrowing money from another person for them. I'm that foolish. Generally, I'm too soft-hearted and nice but I don't know how to solve this problem. Someone advised me I should get a girlfriend who should always be angry with me if I'm being too nice to people and that will help me solve the problem to some extent but I think it won't.
I'm not from a rich family, not even from an average family. I'm even from a polygamous home so I know what it means to have suffered as a Nigerian. I was on the street and I guess that's what is making me this weak emotionally. I'm a simp all-around in my life and relationship with people. People are always cheating on me, taking advantage of who I am.
I NEED genuine HELP, please.
/ Look at the kind of people that Nigerians worship.
It is a pointer to their mindset. No soul who is kind to Nigerians ever lived to tell the story. You will continue to learn the hard way until you reach the point of no return. You think you are nice but they see you as a f00l.
/ They better close their borders to Nigerians who grew up in a dirty Nigeria and are happy to import their lives as pigs. Ever wonder why Nigerians glorify slums like Lagos and Abuja? They will mess up the whole place.
pappilo: People wont understand this. I was on trial in the crown court last summer and whilst I was on the stand, it got so comical that at some point I started laughing at the story the well spoken prosecutor was narrating even though I was facing 6 charges and prison time if convicted.
The prosecutor look at the facts of the case and come up with as plausible a story as possible. In court, lawyers dont say maybe, they say things ike they were there and saw it happen.
/ People think it is by shouting online and quoting laws up and down. Inside the legal system is a whole beast of its own. They think that one has to be guilty to be convicted. We have had recent cases of people wrongfully convicted having their convictions overturned after decades in prison. Suspects are just pawns.
The prosecutor may opt for "nolle prosequi" on July 9th. Then what? It is a crazy world indeed.
DaBogu: What employees go through in the hands of some employers in Nigeria is something worth writing about. So pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
I remembered when I working at Allen & living at Palmgroove àxis on 25k salary. My Boss went to his Village to lavish money in December & my school fees deadline was 26th. He paid me a sum of 20k as salary. I wept that day. He's now contesting in Akwa-Ibom. So many things I can talk about.
Share your experience
/ I don't blame employers.
When was the last time you see Nigerians respect someone that treats them kindly? They mistake kindness for weakness and employers cum politicians know it.
peepydelano: Wike is not an important political figure, I just wonder why the hype .His exit won’t make any significant change or have much effect on pdp in general. Let him go and Ofcourse it will be the end of his political career. He’s from the minority and as such has no voice.
/ Wike is an important political figure.
Whoever controls the resources in Rivers, Lagos and Kano are minigods in the political arena.
It is not about Wike. It is about the funds of Rivers State which he controls.
/ No need to educate you folks. Some of you have never been to a real court. The government lawyer(the prosecutor) will twist the stories to fit his or her narratives. It is up to the Defense attorney to poke holes in the prosecutor's charges. It is a battle. The prosecutor's job is to ensure that they are convicted. The Defense attorney's job is to counter him/her, provide legal counsel to Ekweremadu and arrange a plea deal for them if necessary. Some prosecutors can be very aggressive.
Either way, I wish them luck. Pray never to be used in the Chess play in a legal system. Do I feel sorry for the Ekweremadus? No! The level of impunity in Nigeria is outrageous.
Idiotseverywher: . But the guy agreed to donate his own, was he forced to. I'd he tgr first person to ever agreed to do do? Why atr you people being so sentiment, pray that God never punish human beings because of our behavior and wickedness
/ He is free to change his mind at any time. It is his body part. If you feel so concerned, reach out to Ekweremadu family and donate your own.
While listening to Bola Tinubu's acceptance speech after he won the APC Primary election, some things struck others, some things struck me and the Calabar seaport is one of the things that struck me. I am shocked a lot of people did not pick anything from it as this is not the first time he would speak about it.
When He visited Calabar on June 1, he mentioned it. I know the candidates have not released their manifestoes but from their speeches, we light to note where exactly they are tilting and fixing the sea port there is key to opening the South South and South East and enhance the Nigerian Economy
/ "We will vote Buhari even if he has bread label as certificate"
Remember that quote?
See where it left Nigeria after 8 years.
Every country tries to put the best brain forward in the global arena. Nigerians can never get good deals because they keep sending dunces (empowered through nepotism or tribalism) to negotiate with professionals.
Strongbest: 40? I don't get, is it the Organisation that's 40 or the man himself? I don't like questioning people's age because it's non of my business but just kind of curious.
Oh well, happy birthday to him.
/ Rarely do you see a Nigerian successful "big man" look young at 40. It could be stress....or folks like you pestering them for giveaways. Who knows?
In 2022, life expectancy in Nigeria is 55. So Buhari is way pass his prime to be a President. Nigerians toyed with grandpa and it has not augured well. It will be disastrous to have Pa Shaky leading Nigeria in this 21st Century.
/ If he didn't complete Secondary School, can he show his GED--needed for enrollment into a College for those who couldn't finish High School (aka Secondary School)?
I believe that Tinubu attended Primary and Secondary schools in Nigeria. He doesn't want to share that information because it will give insight into his real age.
DSC7: During the week i was invited to a church program...
I had the intentions to attend but what turned me off was the Venue which happens to be one of the bubbling Hotel in the Vicinity...
And i was like why will i attend a church that is located in an Hotel where all sort of immortality takes place?
Though i ain't a saint but i don't understand why a so called house of God should be in an unholy ground..
To me it doesn't make sense,,,
Brethrens what do you have to say?
/ God does not reside in a building built by men.
The problem is that you believe the venue should be a house of God while the pastor sees the venue as his place of business. Sunday is for church business. Whatever the pastors makes on Sunday is probably what s/he uses to take care of his or her family for each week. No church is sending you to heaven.
/ It is greed and should be unacceptable for one candidate (in a whole state of millions of citizens) to have one leg in Presidential contest and one leg in Senatorial contest. At what point do Nigerians say enough is enough? Politics is not a birthright to any individual.
DOTian: We always like to pretend like we don't know how things go in this country because the person at the receiving end is either not one of us or don't agree with us.
If you have had a relation with kidney problems in Nigeria, and kidney problems are very common these days, you would have known that getting a donor most times depends on how much you want to pay, if the donor is not a family member.(
Obviously this guy was promised a huge sum to donate, they got to The UK and it was noticed that his kidneys can't match with hers, which means that he has to go back to Nigeria. Aware that he might not be paid as promised because he didn't donate as agreed and not sure of a good future in Nigeria after returning, he bolted away with all sorts of sickening tales.
This is the plausible pattern of events and although Ekweremmadu is not my favorite politician, this accusations of human trafficking and organs harvesting as far as I'm concerned, all look staged to dramatize the whole story for media effects.
/
Do you know how many Nigerians that go through US Embassy and Immigration in just a year? There is nothing about Nigeria that UK officials haven't heard or seen. Ik Ekweremadu and wife "may" escape prison in this case but the harm is done already. It may seem that Ekweremadu's nemesis is always in Europe.
Ikem11: They should check him well he might already gone loco.
Madness get levels
/ But he won't be loco if he'd come with Bible, a wooden cross carved by the carpenter down the street and a plastic chaplet put together by Buddhist Chinese children.
A bus and maruwa was burnt down by some LASTMA officials at obanikoro. After they were questioned by the people in the area, they decided to bring in some thugs to destroy properties.
According to vanguard news, they also injured some people.
Just Tinubu's boys doing mock violence in preparation for what they think Nigerians will tolerate in 2023. All these nonsense will stop the day people gather mind grab McOluomo with tire and a bottle of fuel.
/ Only his children deserve the best treatment but not any of the millions of morons that keep voting him back into Senate. Greed is bad.
Let's assume the kidney didn't match as his defenders claim. Couldn't he in his magnanimity train the donor in UK for such a goodwill? The least he could do is offer him scholarship from his loot. /
