It looks like they killed the snake and the toilet.

Mysterious! It could have crawled in from the outside.

And by the way, Who cares about what people say about them; life is not elementary school.

If you add an Hausa cap and chewing stick to your swag, no agbero or police officer will ever disturb you for money.

Hello everyone,pls I am on my knees appealing to anyone that can help my husband get a job. He is a master's degree holder in marketing and have had over 8 years experience in sales and marketing. He is actually at the verge of giving up on life. He desperately needs a job. Kindly help us if you can. Thank you
.

If he is suicidal because of unemployment, then he cannot be helped. Tell him to put the MBA away and go look for work.

Some of the suckers logged in here hoping for a pay out.

I have a simple question.

Why are you folks building your own house instead of buying an existing one?

/
See question!

Oga: No be you complained say dem fit bury orisirisi join for house foundation? Who wan inherit "transfer of wealth" on top questionable structural integrity?

Blame Nollywood.

Person wey supply 22T granite as 30T won't blink to wire a house with Chinese cable and swear say na Cutix. The truth comes out when everything goes up in flame.

When you build, na you sabi wetin dey inside. Besides, kobo kobo people houses are always stronger. They let rain beat the concrete and block works for years before continuation. Try beating that.

not as bad as you might think sir... We are still al8ve

I was in Nigeria for 3 weeks and it was very peaceful. It seems that the stuff one reads about Nigeria online is different from the real situation of things. Of course, electricity is still an untamed monster but I saw people moving about their businesses. The only bad experience was some policemen that picked me out of the traffic in PH, hopped into the car and demanded N25k for violation of trumped up law or else they'd take me to their station. After negotiations, they settled for N500 after listening to the "long stories of my life". I need to polish my pidgin English.

Who still drive vw beatle in this era. Even if you drive that car, come and see gossips from the neighborhood, "I talk am say that man just waste him 15years abroad and e no achieve anything"

Lol @ 15 years abroad and achievement.

True that, my neighbor that was robbed has 2 giant shepherds, from the discussion l had with him during my visit to Nigeria, it seems he was robbed via information through people who were doing some renovation in his house, they provided all the info to the robbers that later came to rob him, that is the only clue he said that might have happened but he has changed his security now via his guard dogs that looks like monsters, once the dog is barking at night, I hear it from one of my properties that is 3mins walk away from his house

l think I am impressed with his dogs, anytime l finally decide to ever live permanently in Nigeria, l don't mind to have a minimum of 6 to 10 German Shepherd roaming where I sleep, let me see the criminal that will come into my premises

I drove around in an old 2003 Toyota with three wheelcovers missing last time I was in Nigeria. I never felt any more relaxed. My cousin ditched his LX570 and we drove around, went to sites and stopped at odd places without anyone raising eyebrows. It was a big eye-opener for both of us. In trying to secure, one may open himself to harm by drawing unnecessary attention.

Eko Atlantic is an entire new coastal city being built on Victoria Island adjacent to Lagos, Nigeria. It is a focal point for investors capitalising on rich development growth based on massive demand – and a gateway to emerging markets of the continent.



The project is privately funded by South Energyx Nigeria Limited – the developers and city planners, a subsidiary of the Nigeria-based Chagoury Group of companies – working in strategic partnership with the Lagos State Government and supported by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Notable national and international banks have been quick to capitalise on the opportunities with some of Nigeria’s biggest – FCMB, First Bank, Access Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank – partnering with Eko Atlantic, with support from BNP Paribas Fortis and KBC.

At this pace, it should be fully functional in 100 years.

l agree with your position on High fences, I listened to Lagos state commissioner of police few weeks ago and he was of the opinion that high fences are not a deterrence to criminals, he advised for home owners to go for short fences where people can easily see through your home and that some criminals think twice before invading such homes because of fear of been seen by other neighbors who will quickly call the police or other landlords to wake-up, I posted it here few months ago, 3 of my neighbors who had gigantic fence and Iron gates where all robbed

/
What kind of a slowpoke will jump a high wall to steal from people?
A bottle of acid to the wall and a little kick/tap will give an unfettered access to the compound. Hollow blocks make things a lot easier. I prefer guard dogs and motion detectors. These high fences keep away burglars and thieves but not the kind of criminals most Nigerians worry about.
I guess it gives people a false sense of security.

Examine your photo . Your workers have zero safety. No eye protection, no safety shoes ,no nasal protection despite all the dangerous concrete dust .

/
I dare you to go to your site in Nigeria and enforce wearing of these safety/protection gears. The masons wouldn't mind if they are on daily pay. If it is by block count, they will complain that it slows their work.

When a Nigerian mechanic goes under your car, expect him to come out with a part and educate you on how stupid oyibo people are to have put it in the first place. Going under your car with a plier is a no no.

It is always better to warn him first with "oga no bring anything come out from there o!"

What is the crime?

Confluence: the act or process of merging.

Therefore, Confluence rice is derived from merging foreign and local rice. Yahaya Bello is right. Dino thought Confluence rice is in reference to River Niger and River Benue. No be Nigerian politicians? Abracadabra is the norm.

Then i guess you don't know the power of blockchain yet. Money laundering have been ongoing on zclassic, zcash and monero in particular, but no one haven't been able to stop that yet or even trace the transactions or the personnel involved in the transactions. Even, Edward Snowden wanted ex CIA agent attest to the fact that zclassic has the most privacy features.
Like you said, once the government takes over blockchain, then it's no longer decentralized, it's now centralized. Zuckerberg is planning on making Facebook decentralized already

/
Money laundering has been going on since 19th century.
Law Enforcement Agents are not equipped to check all. But whoever is visible on the radar gets taken

donefezy:
Reason why blockchain technology is the future. Making Facebook decentralized is the best bet. Where no one will have control over user data. Mark needs to make facebook decentralized as quick as possible.

/
Blockchain. Decentralization.

The only way to remain anonymous is to be off the internet in its entirety.
If there are many people involved, the governments of the world will get interested...all about control.

I don't care what settings you have on your pc or phones, when there is the need to find you, you will be found. Just make ensure that you don't engage in anything that would warrant such attention.

Nigerians in Nigeria do not need to delete their FB accounts. They are of zero values in the scheme of things. Residents of developed nations who understand the problems associated with FB (no such thing as a free meal or apps that request access to all data as prerequisites for free download) shy away from social media and the inherent traps.

They use the Milliken Hill road to bypass the bad portion of 9th Mile - Enugu axles killer.
The road is good but not for the lily-livered.

RIP to the deceased.

We are blessed with an unlimited supply of energy in Nigeria. Something that some other countries or at least parts of them would die for.

Running cost of solar is zero Naira once it's set up and properly. Maintenance is only batteries. Prices for batteries continue to come down.

In other words, you believe that the Nigerian brains were designed by an apprentice to the angels. As far as I am concerned, there is no freaking way the brains were designed by the same God that created others.

ibotic:
So because bill gates said something, it is now gospel truth...is Bill Gates God...

There are doers and there are talkers.

Bill Gates is a doer with results while your politicians are talkers without results.

Thus we believe Bill Gates.

Here's the volume as it's coming out of my tap on a nonelevated tank. This is sufficient for me except for the shower head.

There are low cost and on-demand pumps for individual faucets that will satisfy the shower head need if I decide to.

Affordable technological solutions are out there.

Affordable? Yes.

Running and maintenance cost?

Anything designed for Nigeria that is dependent on constant supply of electricity will be a very big headache.

I beg to differ again sir. A house will appreciate, just simple economics! Will you be able build a house today for the same amount you built it 10 years ago, or will you be able to build a house in 10 years time for the same amount you build it for today!

/
It is called inflation.

A bag of cement is N2600 while ten years ago it was N800.

So 100 bags of cement would have been N80k while it will cost you N260k today.

That's all. Think about the purchasing power instead of numerical value.

heendrix:


I do always say it the thing called military is just overhyped. coz just a bullet that may put me to the ground would do same to a military man in minutes

so why call us bloody civilians

anyway my kudos goes to the argument topic in particular atleast the police won

/
I have always said that soldiers bleed too but Nigerians see them as superhumans.

Na. They die too. Nothing special except the uniforms and the power vested on them by the government.
\

rabcnesbit:
Not necessarily sir. That old photo of yours when you were still a young fine handsome guy chasing the ladies that you cherish so much and secured away so it does not get lost or damaged is very valuable to you (so an asset to you), but it will not increase in value as it is not valuable to anyone.

/

LOL

jared007:
Very soon the Fulani militia would turn their guns on the same soldiers that has been protecting them. God has a way of causing confusion in the midst of enemies.

Next time you drive through a military checkpoint in Nigeria, look closely. Many of the soldiers are on their mobile phones and not paying attention.

Here are exquisite pictures of the Isiebu country home of Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume named 'Ugwumba Villa' in Okigwe area of Imo state. Ik Ogbonna, the media aide to the governorship aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Araraume, shared the photos online as he wrote;

Sen Ifeanyi Araraume bears the chieftaincy title of Ugwumba Okigwe bestowed on him by the traditional rulers of Okigwe Zone and christened his home in his village, Isiebu in Isiala Mbano, UGWUMBA VILLA.

A first time visitor to the village would be confused if they are still within Owerri municipality with the well connected tarred roads with drainage attracted by the Senator during his glorious sojourn in the Senate.

Coming into Ugwumba Villa proper, you are amazed again by the expansive compound, well lit, neat, aesthetically pleasing, organized and natural environment surrounded by trees and flower's giving an ambience of serenity.

From the marked car parks, to the well mowed grass, lawn flowers, freshly painted structures, well lit compound, tarred roads that has lasted over 10 yrs without potholes.


Ik Ogbonna anipr,

Special Adviser to Senator Ifeanyi Araraume on Media

Nothing spectacular!

Just rooms and roof surrounded by unkept lawns lined with the boring white/black kerbs.

Hey! For Enugu folks: Who owns that house along PH-Enugu Expressway on exit from Brown and Brown road, Independence Layout in Enugu. Now that's a spectacular edifice.

They are suffering, they are suffering, but if you tell them to return home, they will act like you wished death upon them

I cannot take them seriously until they start craving to come home. Because bad as e be in the abroad, it cannot be worse than how it is here

Suffering get levels. You expect someone suffering with the hope of a better tomorrow to descend to abyss (or move to hell) just to convince you. No condition is permanent. They are being hopeful.
