I tell you
The author also forgot to include that in UK/US, you get Wi-Fi with unlimited data for your money, so no one really needs the capped data subscription.
Now, how much is unlimited data sub in Nigeria

Denn:
What OP has described is simply the cost of living.

The cost of living to income ratio is relatively higher in Nigeria no doubt. Our standard of living is also lower.

However cost of data is cost of data and it is cheaper in Nigeria than in many countries

How can you separate cost of items from cost of living?
Will it cost you the same to set up an ISP in Nigeria with US? Knowing how much you have to pay as salaries, utilities and taxes

Hmm
Is this PR because of a scheduled visit to IMO state if I'm not mistaken

It's time to look to younger talents as Salah isn't getting younger anymore and his pace may not be what it used to be.
Good luck to him on his future endeavors

Fernandes is a surer penalty scorer than Ronaldo, but only politics can make the coach choose CR7
Fernandes should start seeking another club where he can dominate

Finally passed my IELTS at a second trial.
I guess my emotions affected the first test due to what I passed through during the week to the test. My FIL was sick, so shuffling reading, work and scheduled night visitations to the hospital added more stress.
To cap it all, we lost him the Thursday to the test and that added to the emotional trauma already passed through.

I had to brave up and sat for the test but I got 7.5, 8.5,7,7 in LRSW respectively. While the preparation for the second was also intensive since I would not want to have the test again, reading was so tough on test day that I wondered if it wasn't the same IELTS reading, I also checked if I mistakenly registered for IELTS academic.
Alas, the result came out 8.5, 7, 8, 7.
I feel so good!

Both tests were BC CBT.

Congratulations
But I hope you really got the score you'll love with the 7.0 you had in Reading.

God no go shame us o

Hmm
The monster keeps growing bolder and bolder by the day

Yea
It's a season of listing criteria for president

After some people have used their tenure to pursue ethnic interests, it's time to hand over now and they're seeking a fair-to-all candidate to replace them. Nobody wants to be paid back in their own coin

Nice write-up op @unstoppable51

It is very Biblical.

Or let's put it this way

If saved, always saved

Fact is not everyone in church is saved. Judas was never saved but Peter was and that difference proved itself overtime. Jesus prayed for Peter only and not Judas because Judas was never his sheep. For goats, you preach to them, no point praying who's never in should not to "backslide"

I doubt BAT leaving APC to contest. I think he will rather negotiate votes with pdp to give them SW bloc votes

Just release the guy and let him go to his Germany

Darling daddy has never pretended about where his main interests lie. He is a full-blown ethnic champion

Hello Guys, it has been a while. Anyways, just to let landed Engineers know, there is a Nigerian Engineers in Canada whatsapp group. If you would like to be among peers, you may shoot me a pm.

Sent you a pm

Peter Obi is a bus conductor I guess

Peter Obi is the most suitable presidential material we currently have in this country. Osinbajo that was there during endsars and did nothing is who you guys are trying to sell to us. Nigerians una never learn. Sometimes I think you guys are cursed to always be ruled by the wrong leaders. Una mumu never do

Good, but just tell us what Peter Obi did during endsars.
Ordinary twitter ban, Peter couldn't confess to tweeting when asked on TV.

FYI, osinbajo already restructured SARS while the agitations were not widespread, only for his boss to return and things go back to bad.
Also, endsars panel statewide was PYO idea

Fayemi, Amaechi, Umahi are also good materials

Remove fayemi from that list. Ask ekiti people

Magaji said, “It’s a WIN-WIN in Afghanistan today!”

Obviously this one doesn't know what "win-win" means.

Expect the wrath of darling daddy in Nigeria o.
How dare you ban their brothers in afghan

Well, maybe southern lawmakers have been settled with bags of money

Elbinawi:
"I study in ABU Zaria. I can count reasonable number of churches and Chapels inside the campus but goto UNN or even Unizik in Awka. You can barely see any mosque there in the campus

That's because there are so few Muslims (2%) there. Period!

It is easier to build a Church in Sokoto state than to build a Mosque in Ebony state. There are presently hundreds of Churches in Zamfara state, a state with 98% Muslim majority but there are no 20 Mosques in Ebony state.

First, Sokoto has a lot of majorly Christian communities. Same with borno, and Give etc.

Second, Muslims don't build many mosques compared to Christians.
Christians because of their multidenominational nature, rccg wants to have their church, so does Anglican, living faith etc. That's why they often have much churches. Unlike Muslims, who are comfortable worshipping in one building.

E

ven in Borno state despite the more than 10 years BokoHaram insurgency, there are hundreds of Churches there.

Borno has a lot of Christian dominated communities. Don't let the media deceive you.

And a Nigerian Muslim sister has this to say:

"I have never asked a Christian why she is not covering her hair but I can’t count how many times Christians disturb me about my Hijab."

Western Civilization is a choice and not a standard of judgement and measurement. If a Muslim sister chose the Hijab that is her right. Western dressing is not an obligation. It is not a must to dress like Jennifer Lopez and it should not be a norm or a standard.

Nobody has issues with you wearing hijab. The problem comes when you want to attend a school built by Christians or organization with a strict dress code and force your way of life on them.
In many places in your religiously tolerant North, southern girls cannot go out without covering their head, they will be stoned. North where you cannot eat or drink what you like without being arrested..

Hmm.. Word

I Hope the owners of PSG are consulting with the coach before deciding to buy these players..
Pochettino that I know is more used to grooming young players to stardom, rather than managing big players

Nothing bad if they visit each other in UK. What's worrisome is the fact that they found no hospital in Nigeria competent and equipped enough to treat them

Op correct your title: Barcelona still owe, not own

Mr balogun or whatever you're called, provide proof of your claims now or simply back down in apology if you've got none. It's a simple sturvs

FreeIgbos:
Yorubas are funny people, they like mocking others but if you expose them they will call their ethnocentric mod to delete it. I created this informative them but he rushed and deleted it.

Igbos and Yorubas are unarguably two of Nigeria's most globally recognized ethnic groups. They've excelled in many areas of human endeavors and locally, they tend to have divergent opinion in their worldviews which has been variously misinterpreted. However, this thread will lay bare the structural differences which many either do not know, sugar coat or outrightly deny for sundry reasons.

1. Igbos are natural democrats with a liberal worldview while Yorubas are heirachial and abhor democratic tendencies: This is one of the reasons why the two groups often clash rhetorically and accuse each other for being hateful and antagonistic. Yorubas have a culture stymied in "bambiala" reverence to fellow man while Igbos on the other hand believe that all men were born equal and one can become whatever they want if they work hard. This is at the core of what makes a character like Tinubu to thrive and assume a god status among Yorubas. But similar characters in Igboland will be derided. People like Rochas and Orji Uzor Kalu would have succeeded just like Tinubu if they were Yorubas in assuming a god status and similarly Tinubu wouldn't have succeeded in pocketing Lagos since 1999 if Lagos was an Igbo state. Igbos would have sent him packing after his statutory 8 years as governor!

Before Tinubu, we also had other Yorubas who were elevated to god status such as Awolowo and Abiola. During their lifetime, these same people were literally worshipped by Yorubas and it's not neccesarily because they sacrificed or did wonders for their people rather it was the bambiala culture that caused it. Igbos also had great leaders that sacrificed or did exceptionally well for them such as Michael Okpara, Ojukwu and Sam Mbakwe but they were only respected and never worshipped. Even when Ojukwu returned from exile to contest for elective positions in governance, he wasn't voted for out of principle! Sam Mbakwe, Ojukwu and Michael Okpara all retired to live out their old ages in peace but if they were in the West, just like Awolowo did, the bambiala culture will not only enable him to primitively accumulate wealth but will also make it easy for him to continue to call the shots till they die.

Igbos don't hate Tinubu as Yorubas wrongly believe rather they hate what he represents! Igbos have attacked Rochas and Orji Uzor Kalu more than they have attacked Tinubu. It amounts to idiotic reasoning to want Igbos not to criticize Tinubu when they form a significant percentage of the population in Lagos and pays tax yet same Tinubu is kneeling on the necks of everyone in Lagos by institutionalizing corruption in that state.

2. Igbos have a more principled worldview while Yorubas are fairweather in nature: Igbos are ready to swim and sink with whoever they align with but Yorubas will jump ship the moment they see you're sinking and I will give you examples. Ojukwu, GEJ, Nnamdi Kanu will suffice here. During the war, Igbos stood with Ojukwu even when they were blockaded and were being starved or bombed to death! Igbos stood with GEJ even when he came under scathing criticisms till the day he stepped down! Igbos have massively supported Nnamdi Kanu through thick and thin! The Igbos are reliable allies who stand by their word but Yorubas will change course when things get out of hand, and that's what they term "sophistication". Awolowo was quoted as saying, if Igbos should leave Nigeria, Yorubas will leave too. Earlier, same Awolowo called Nigeria a mere geographical expression. In essence, he never believed in the country. However, when Ojukwu took the initiative and presented an opportunity for Awolowo to have his dream Oduduwa republic, he chickened out and decided to stay neutral and watch which side will have the upper hand so he can team up with them. If Biafra had an upper hand, Awolowo would have teamed up with Ojukwu!

3. Igbos Hate Injustice/Oppression And They Always Voice Out But Yorubas Will Rather Suffer In Silence Just To Be Politically Correct: when you oppress Igbos, either as an Igbo man or outsider, they will wail, complain, vilify, criticize and do whatever they can to show their displeasure. In essence, they don't suffer fools gladly. Igbos don't hate Fulanis more than Yorubas or others in Nigeria but while others are willing to be closet haters just to avoid antagonising them, Igbos don't mind saying it with a microphone. Igbos never hated or verbally attacked Umaru Musa Yaradua (a core Fulani man) when he was president simply because they believed he was a good man. Now that's a food for thought!

4. Igbos Don't Mind Washing Their Dirty Linens In Public If That Would Bring Change But Yorubas Will Rather Allow Keep Mum To Avoid Embarrassment: When the Orji's allowed Aba to rot, with bad roads and filth everywhere. Igbos didn't try to hide it to avoid embarrassment instead they began a campaign of exposing the rot in Aba. In Facebook, nairaland, Twitter etc, we were assaulted with disgusting pictures of terrible looking roads which others didn't waste to start mocking us with. However, the onslaught against the state government started paying dividends now go to those roads now, particularly Ngwa/School road, P.H road, Eziukwu etc that used to be an eyesore and you won't believe how neat they are now. The governor must had sleepless nights with all those attacks he faced! Now, let's draw a parallel again. Aba is to Abia State what Sango/Ota is to Ogun State. Today, Sango/Ota has some of the worst roads you can think of in Nigeria, if not the world but Yorubas will rather keep calm, suffer silently and even attack anyone that tries to expose the rot in that town. Even within the almighty Lagos too, there are lots of terrible roads and disgusting environment but anyone trying to expose it will come under attack by Yorubas who either don't want to be embarrassed or because they feel no one should question their leader.

Should Nigeria divide today, I can bet you that Oduduwa will have sit tight rulers that will make the likes of Paul Biya and Mugabe green envy while Igbos will practice a very vibrant democracy with no room for sit tight rulers.

.great write-up, but I bet your opponent here should rather be Northerners, as they fit your description far better than the Yorubas. The Yorubas have both qualities in igbo and in Hausa in moderate measures, while igbos and hausas are extreme in most qualities.

BTW I just wonder why you people keep pushing the southern division agenda when you ought to seek more of unity so you can easily achieve your aim. You will find it hard to see north west put up articles of how they are different from North central. You guys seriously need to learn diplomacy. Everything no be gragra

Okwyjesus:
Akerodolu is a man. He will have my vote anytime.

As for Osibanjo, he can take the lead once he is in the driving seat. It won't be bad to vote him.

;DI laff in Hong Kong.
Any man who lives in ondo state will laugh at you hailing Aketi for president.
Aketi is loved by you because he's vocal against bubu, nothing more. In governance, he is poor. Ask any ondo person.
