Travel › Re: My observations about some of our japa brethren in North America by itiswell1(m): 7:05pm On Aug 10, 2024 |
They have used Tesla to carry me before as Uber and he wasn't black. It really doesn't mean. Where I leave, you need SUV to move around during winter. At least, na legit work then dey do. Sapasenator: About three years ago. It was a bitter winter and I was dining at a restaurant around 11 pm in the night. It was very cold and if I remember correctly, it was -35 degrees Celsius below freezing point and if you pee outside, it freezes before hitting the ground. cold.
The restaurant was filled with everyone white except myself. I looked behind me and it was crowded with delivery drivers working for the delivery app, Skip the Dishes, waiting to pick up food orders. Nine delivery drivers and all black guys mostly Nigerian looking.
Imagine what it means to have to drive constantly in the bitter cold to deliver food when most people are either sleeping or enjoying themselves in a warm restaurant.
Some of these guys are even delivering with brand new SUVs purchased on credits and after a deeper dive, I came to realize our people here live mostly above their means to impress fellow Nigerians. They buy houses or cars they cannot afford and now have to work three jobs and drive on the side to maintain their fake lifestyles.
This is not a healthy way to live guys, learn to relax and enjoy yourself once in a while, do not live above your means and the fact that you are pre-authorized for that big mortgage, loan, or line of credit does not mean you have to accept.
Learn to live your life without trying to please or impress anyone and occasionally, take time off to have fun and enjoy yourself, take vacations. |

Food › Re: How Many Packs Of Noodles Do You Eat? by itiswell1(m): 3:09pm On Dec 10, 2023 |
LagosG: I don't like the big pack noodles. I prefer the smaller packs. I'm old school like that. The only problem is that these days as a fully grown adult, I don't eat noodles as an in-between meals. I eat it as a full meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner so I make 6 to get my filling. Someone called me a glutton because of this and I must fry eggs with it.
Abeg adults, when you make noodles at home, how many do you cook?

dominique: And answer more questions about how such amount of money got in their possession especially if they're on a visit visa and not expected to work. They knew what they were doing by hiding that money When I was relocating and I had more than $10k with me, I declared it and when they asked me why I had up to that on me, I told them I was relocating my family to a new land and that we need to live and survive before we settle on properly. That was it. No further question from Nigeria to the country I was going. |

timesuploaded: Japa is stupidity. You have to be a dumb person to live this great country to Canada or America. America and Canada are failed nations. Nigerians in diasporans should be held responsible responsible not painting the true picture of living in Canada. Tell Americans to pay fully for their houses and 99.9% of them will be homeless and sleeping on the street this very minute. Tell them to pay cash for their cars and 90% of them will start trekking. This brainwashing madness of Japa need to stop. Japa is the beginning of your failure Clap for yourself |

Family › Re: When Your Salary Is 40k And Your 17 Year-old Daughter Is Using Iphone 12 by itiswell1(m): 9:56pm On May 08, 2022 |
iezeiyida: Hello Nairalanders!
Let me drop this important message.
Your 17 year old daughter is using iPhone 12 and your salary is 40k. That of your husband or wife is 60k. Collectively, your family income is 100k. Your 17 year old daughter in 100 level Mass Communication, Unizik is using a phone worth 600k. Your family's 6 months earning.
You didn't say anything. You only call her to take pictures of you when you are going for Traditional/White weddings, Mother's Sunday, Father's Sunday or August meeting. When your second son got admission into the university, you couldn't afford to send him to school. His 17 year old immidiate older sister in year 100 decided to take it up, and pay off the 300k needed for his entrance into ANSU.
You thanked God and asked him to bless your daughter and multiply her source of wealth.
When your Umunna (family clan) had a contribution, you asked her to please help you out. She sent you 100k.
You put her in your prayers. She is the pillar of your family.
What would you people have done without her?
You bill her, she bills her boyfriend.
Who is this boyfriend? This your family saviour?
You are worried about Yahoo ritual killings.
Maybe you need to look at yourself again. I luv Yoruba die. Omo yin o shagbafo, o un kaso wale (Your child is not into laundry, he is bringing clothes home). it is well |

I really hate killjoys.
I am not supporting rape. It is a deed that was done back then, that ought to have been settled.
Look now he has lost his job.
I hope the lady is now happy. I wonder what you are saying. In fact, if i would have waited till he is going for any political post before coming out. So, he is daft to know that there is karma waiting somewhere. |

TV/Movies › Re: Interview With Bright Ikechukwu Echefu, TSTV CEO (Video) by itiswell1(m): 4:01pm On Oct 03, 2017 |
If everybody wait for his neighbour, who will buy the decoder? Ezigbonmadu: Many of the CEO's explanations don't add up. And that is shocking because he is expected to know how his company operates more than anybody else.
He said his company provide 4G internet on their platform. This is ridiculous beyond explanation. You can only have 4G/LTE internet services from wireless broadbands and not from satellites. Other wireless protocols are WiMAX, WiFi, GPRS, 3.5/3.0G. While satellite bands are ku and c bands (and their derivatives). I'm a Communication Engineer. TSTv claiming to provide 4G on a satellite platform is impossible and ridiculous. Except there will be SIM cards on their devices. This is exactly what I suspect because he mentioned 2 things:
1. That their decoder is Android. 2. That the device doubles as a router.
Essentially what they will offer is a smart phone in a big box. They will depend on your local GSM coverage and data for their data uplinks while downlinks are handled by their satellite feed.
My conclusion: 1. Their data speed will be terrible. Hence people buying the device just for data will be frustrated. 2. They are just a third party service provider. They don't have their own satellite feeds. They will also resell internet from main one (according to Dr Bright, their CEO). Thus, as resellers, they can't control or guarantee quality.
My verdict: Just hold on. Let your neighbours buy and use it for at least two months before you put your money on it. Hopefully all questions will be answered by then. |

What do we produce in Nigeria. We import virtually everything. If the exchange rate is high, prices of common commodity will definitely be high. For instance, why was the price fuel increased? Electronics are high, even the food you are talking about, your rent etc. Inflation will set in. |
