BucketMan:
Hello guys, please I need your advice. I'm currently in a dilemma on what to do with my life presently. I'm a lawyer called to the bar in December 2022. Afterwards I practiced in a law firm for 6 months before resigning due to the meagre salary and harsh work environment. I just couldn't keep up, Although I can confirm that legal practice was very terrific but it's something that you can only enjoy if you're well paid at the Law firm or company you work with to effectively maintain the standard expected from you.

I've been jobless for 8 months now as all the efforts I put into securing a job ended in futility. I'm thinking of going for my masters degree(LLM) instead of staying idle at home with my parents. I think by doing this I can keep myself busy and improve on my career academically while also trying to find a good job in today's Nigeria.

Serious advice needed please

You will make a good real estate agent as a lawyer.

Just saying. Your power of imagination is very low.

Who cares?Kaikai is still N100 per shot. That's good enough

Igbo people are migrants ably represented in all nooks and crannies of the world away from the prying eyes of envious government officials. With the naira in deep shit, forex inflows will keep many Igbo families afloat. When push comes to shove, many folks will organize giveaways for their kinsmen like during Covid-19.

We ain't tripping.

Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth continue.

Bolt is a slave work and they are heartless.
Bolt is the most useless platform in the world.
This morning I got suspended after one stupid passenger that gave me wrong direction reported my account.

Imagine driving for 15-20 minutes, to pick this evil passenger and he cancelled your order because of impatience.

And not done still
Reported your account and got your account suspended.

If not for the impractical government we have.
How can?
Person go to school,
Graduate and start doing taxi or bolt...
I now have peace of mind.
It is well.

/
School is for training. You must start somewhere.
Attitude goes hand in hand with degrees.
Life is very challenging as it is and only the weaklings quit at the first sign of trouble.

/

/
That's always the game plan.

Let the price run off so much that the people will be happy to pay an inflated price afterwards.
N5700 to N15000 and people will be happy to pay N8000 afterwards. The same with flight tickets, fuel prices, you name it. As usual, Nigerians will adapt.

Lazy man!

This will be the lifestyle of those hypemen when they get old.

The people who wrote the Bible had very good sense of imaginations way better than Shakespeare. Imagine such a tantalizing illusionary tales aptly marketed as facts.

The rest of the world are interested in all the African resources while Africans are only interested in heaven.

Igbo people believe in forewarned is forearmed.

They were right about Buhari. They were right about Tinubu. The rest chose to ignore them and today are the worst hit. They are mostly traders. If dollar rates increase, they increase prices to offset the inflation. The same cannot be said of the others who are mainly in civil services earning calculated salaries.

The problem with Nigeria is our president, I could remember during the regime of jonathan 1.5 million naira was almost all it takes to clear a 16 ft container, buhari came in and it was increased to 6 million naira, today it will cost you between 17 to 18 million naira to clear same size of container if they don't seize it. Now you know why the prices of imported goods are skyrocketing, tasking an importer a whopping 18 million naira to clear his container is like killing Nigerians because the importer will add it to the price of the goods he imported and at the end the consumers are the one paying the 18 million naira you collected from the importer, it's not just the dollar issue that is skyrocketing the prices of imported goods, it's the president alongside the Nigeria custom service who doesn't care if Nigerians are surviving or dieing, I don't have anything against Tinubu but I think his policies shows he doesn't mean well for Nigerians, first he removed the fuel subsidy which was the only benefit common man like me was getting from the government, secondly he floated the naira which is the reason naira is loosing value every second.

/
The problem is not the President. The major problem are the idiots that buy into any propaganda shoved down their throat. From Buhari to Tinubu, how can any sane individual blame those who are always capable of playing the masses like fools? I am glad everyone is suffering it. Don't cry yet. During the next election, the same pattern of voting and rigging will happen.

Despite the jappa tide flowing allover, there are some people who don't have jappa in their agenda even though they are not doing well...
Some reasons may include weather, culture, food, caring for loved ones here, lack of strict laws here, etc.
They've decided to remain in their "comfort zone"...

Are you one of dem

With the current exchange rates, how easy will be to japaa?

One person flight ticket of $1500 is now N2.3 million. Add BTA, logistics, etc.

It is not as if there is a job readily awaiting a japaite.

Nigerians are naturally dirty people, they don't have any problem littering the environment. only thing they know how to do is spray perf... that's their own version of cleanliness. Only a few exceptions.

/
They are not naturally dirty. They believe that keeping it clean is doing favour to others. It is their selfish spirit in-charge.

Reading...



Bro, you need the salvation more because you don't even know the God (Christ) you're preaching about.

/
Oyibo people and Asians are designing technologies for the future. Africans remain comfortable in abject poverty hoping to move into mansions in afterlife.

/
In countries with real data-based economy, high inflation supports their currency because of interest rate outlook. But in Nigeria, the reverse is the case. High inflation, naira devalues. So there are other forces at play centered on obligate consumption and corruption.

Not until it gets to Appeal and Supreme Court, they ain't getting a dime from Trump.

/

/
Is it really necessary? All they need to do is disable "Withdrawal " or "Transfer" button on their apps. Tell customers who come for OTC withdrawal that dollar is not available. The customers can wail and curse to no avail. Final final their dollars are trapped and we move to updated Shege pro max version 2.

With this level of desperation, it is a matter of time before customers' funds will be trapped. Some diehards think it is inconceivable. Oh well...

But what did black people actually do? Why do people hate us so much Haba! Acorn bawo? Can someone actually die because of acorn just like that??

Na as goat take stand them dey take price am
Look at all the black nations and their citizens living as if without input from whites they cannot self-govern or provide basic amenities for themselves.

Nigeria's economy is like a bag of water with many holes.

/

/
People who are hungry are already on automatic fasting. How does this change anything?
No advanced country prayed and fasted her way to prosperity.
If fasting and prayers work, Nigeria would have been the biggest economy of the world considering the
billions of prayers (or do I say prayerful noise) emanating from the country on a daily basis.

michlins:
so I just heard that cement is 10k per bag now.

You really moved fast

How cement skyrocketed from N5700 to N10,500 within 2 weeks is very difficult to explain.

The only thing working for them is their readiness and willingness to fight. Other boys scouts aka military of other ECOWAS nations are scared to confront anyone with guns.

/

/
I believe the hardship is not bad enough.
After all people still get mouth to talk.
After the 2023 election, only a certified slowpoke will be sympathetic to the plight of Nigerians.

Is this supposed to be news? As long as PMS price remains stable while price of crude oil fluctuates, anyone with an iota of intelligence knows that subsidy is at work.

It may seem that SW and the North are feeling the pinch the most.Tinubu hasn't even done 1 year yet.

*Politeness*
It will bring in people and investments.
Don't you see US always accusing China of intentionally devaluing their currency?
Example, if Togo devalues their currency you'd be going there to buy stuff and vacations, but if they inflate their currency you won't go

/

You don't manufacture anything of importance. You don't produce anything. You can't even refine your oil instead you rely on swap. Yet you want to use the prescription that works for China (a manufacturing and production giant). Devaluation works for exporting countries and stable economies not this rubbish that exist in Nigeria.

Salary earners are the worst hit. Inflation has rendered their monthly salaries insignificant.

The matter day do me like say mk next election don reach I won check power and might

Buh unfortunately we aren't done with 1year

Nothing will happen.

Next election, they will whip up the same sentiment and you will still vote with your stomach. No be today we begin dey here "next election". Let the suffering continue a beg.

/

I believe that it is a fair game because everyone is shopping from the same market. This is a bitter pill for some online braggarts to swallow. Poverty is an equal opportunity leveler. We won! They lost! Oya carry your party card go market go price something

Last night, I went to see AFCON final in my girlfriend's house. After the second half, I got hungry and decided to prepare something to eat.
I went into her kitchen and Lo and Behold! I saw huge meat and crates of eggs. Omo! For this economy?

I quickly rushed to cook some eggs and meat in a very delicious stew , then we accompanied it a very smooth Tuwo.


This girl has never seen me cook before. She was surprised!

Though Nigeria lost the match , we had fun all through the night because the food was so so delicious (at least to her anyway).
By my calculations, this food cost about 5k.
How much will it cost you to prepare this?


Forget the table, na backyard we sidown with her potable TV dey watch match.

What do you think about the meal?

Some women are really suffering in relationships

Do you think herders will go into this community in the nearest future? There is a simple solution to the menace of herder bandits that many communities are too cowardly to implement

She’s a girl I love very much but our relationship hasn’t gone real far . She told me this of recent with evidence for me to know it’s real and true
What do I do?
She said I shouldn’t hurt her that things will go well for me
I need advice from Matured Nairalanders on this matter

In other words, you are asking matured minds to convince you that if you jump into a burning building that you will not get burned. I advise you to marry her so that sane men can learn from your mistakes.

CoronaVirusPro:
He won’t say same about Israel

The US is over 30 trillion in debts and Israel at a surplus of 200 billion, yet, the US would keep funding it. Another billions is about to leave again, when Americans cannot boast of housing for all, free healthcare, free tertiary education, infrastructures, or security.

Trump is a known lap dog of Putin. He will say anything to win Putin’s heart.

/

The world operates on interests not morality. Did you shudder when Saudi Arabia is considering allowing alcohol consumption bc of profits from hosting a football event? So do many countries put their interests above morality or religion. Only poverty-stricken minds in shithole countries think morals (which they lack by the way) are the solution to issues.

If two countries go to war, US will sell weapons to both countries. Heck! They can kill themselves for all US care.

nkemjacob2:
From my own aspect, I don't know if it is sole reason of the economic crisis. I haven't been paid by the end of the month since I started work for over a year. They do pay every 5th of every new month. Now payment has changed gear to 10th of every month.

Are employers taken advantage of employees

Does it matter?

As long as you are paid after every 30 days, you should be ok.
