Popular Nigerian actor who is vacationing in Seychelles with his wife has shown his reluctance to return to Nigeria.

He shared a video enjoying the beach and sun and asked his followers and fans to give him one reason why he should return to Nigeria and leave all the soft life he is enjoying.

Deyemi Okanlawon does not want to come back to Nigeria after Seychelles vacation with wife.

bro the uk is falling. strikes everywhere. i no fit run from frying pan into faya walahi talahi e no make sense .


i just joke about naija sometimes but to be honest with you naija problems is very minuscule if you have the right mindset . its all about your mindset. if you have the right mindset, naija is a cakewalk compared to europe or america. problem is most people dont have the right mindset. you gotta view the glass half full and not half empty and you gotta work smart and not work hard an you have to keep a low profile an more importantly you have to understand that all this shytt is meaningless anyway and you have to save your soul and focus more on doing that with righteousness wisdom knowledge and understanding.

as far as dangote refinery i dont even know maybe this year or next . they also have that Fourth mainland bridge project coming on and the blue line and sea port etc. naija is the spot to be . nowhere else. this is the future mecca

Oluwapresley:
6 months scarcity! Sigh! Must things just be difficult in this country? And everyone is looking forward to Dangote's refinery. How bad can a country get. One man is doing something a whole country has not been able to do and the nonsense country to make things funny, invested in the so called refinery instead of the other way around.

Well, since Nigeria is now a sufferhead country, let's hear up again. Smh

sisisioge:
Yes, you're right about respecting other people's beliefs but this is a school where they were learning history. The painting is allegedly thir prophet, they aren't even sure. The school is multicultural/multi-religion. How will the scholars ever learn if they dont explore everything in history? Infact, I didnt even know such painting existed until this noise....imagine historians being as ignorant as I am on the matter.

For instance, our bible never said anything about Jesus being married and having kids, yet historians managed to unearth findings that he did, did we roll heads because of that or stop believing that he was never married? Abeg, that religion folks are simply too aggressive!

drlateef:
National NLC and TUC already endorsed Tinubu. Why are zombidiots crying like baby who lost his feeding bottle? Don’t they know that Obi is ponzi scheme? Did i not warn them not to waste their money and energy?

Tareq1105:
If you think Nigeria Labour is with LP and Obi you need to have a rethink.

In Lagos, workers are enjoying under Sanwo Olu, a Gov that is paying highest salary in the country, constantly promoting her workers, regular payment of pension, so who do you want them to vote for?

In Ogun State, talking about Otunba Gbenga Daniel APC senatorial candidate for Ogun East, a man who increased workers salary 3 times in his 8 yrs as governor, a friend of workers (confirm all I said here), who do you want Ogun State workers to vote? I can go on and on on some contestants.

Politics all over is about interest. Therefore, LP shouldn't take its luck too far especially in the south west. We're more concerned about the antecedent of contestants and not really about the party.

She is mixed or biracial at best. Unless she wants to completely identify as black like Obama who has biracial roots. You can't really call her black. I don't know why some blacks like to claim some mixed race people exclusively as their own . Osaka can even identify as Japanese if she wants to, it's part of the perks that follow biracial people


That's what 1sharon is stating.

A Chinese state-owned bank in Hong Kong is offering a complimentary express reservation BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine shot to new and existing customers who deposit about $500,000 (HK$4,000,000). The incentive signals mainland Chinese citizens' desire to receive a western developed mRNA vaccine.

The "privileges" are being offered after mainland China lifted travel restrictions to Hong Kong.

The vaccine is being offered as mainland China lifts its cross-border restrictions with Hong Kong and is among a number of "privileges" China CITIC Bank International, which is held by Chinese state-owned CITIC Group, is rolling out until March 31.

BioNTech's Pfizer mRNA vaccine is not widely available in mainland China, which has mostly relied on Chinese-produced vaccines that don't currently include mRNA technology. However, permanent residents of Hong Kong and Macau have had access to free Pfizer vaccines, according to Fortune.

CNCBI's complimentary vaccine is one of its "exclusive privileges catered to customers' wealth and wellness," according to a press release from the bank.

Other benefits for customers include a body check-up and the hepatitis B vaccine. Customers who apply for and activate a CNCBI GBA Currency Credit Card can get two complimentary vaccines, including the Pfizer vaccine or hepatitis B vaccine, as well as a 15% discount at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.

Other "privileges" for customers include four complimentary tickets to the theme park Monopoly Dreams Hong Kong and the chance to test drive a Bentley.

CNCBI did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

Since China rolled back its strict zero-COVID policy last December, the country has seen a staggering rise in COVID infections and related deaths. The country has not approved any mRNA vaccines, and South Korea's top vaccine producer said China is not likely to approve foreign vaccines because of "national pride."

Mainland Chinese citizens are eager to travel — for the West's mRNA Covid vaccines.

Mainland China has reopened its borders, and citizens eager to travel are booking not just flight tickets, but also vaccination appointments. Mainlanders have been flocking to Macao in recent months for Western mRNA vaccines, which are widely administered around the world but not endorsed by China.

But even if patients attempted booking an appointment as early as mid-December, the next available slots at the Macau University of Science and Technology Hospital, the only location offering jabs to tourists, are as late as February.

Take a look at this

Mr Joe has been running a successful business in millions of dollars for decades with hundreds of employees working for him.

Surprisingly at his death, the business ceased to continue.

Why do you think this happened?

Sometime in 2008, one Lagos bus conductor gave me a blow that nearly removed my 2 teeth, if not for God

I boarded a Danfo to the WAEC office Ogba to collect my original WAEC Certificate, seeing that I needed it for clearance in the University that I had just gotten admission into..

The conductor of the bus I entered kept saying "Ogba Aguda 2 chance “.. And stupid me refused to mind my business

In my infinite wisdom abi na stupidity, I tried to correct him, that 2 or more is plural, thus it's "2 chances" not "2 chance"..

Next thing I heard was "Olosi, Ko ni da fun Iyalaya e" followed by one blow "gbawwww" on my mouth.... I had to have my teeth rearranged and braced afterward because that blow really shook my dentition


That blow instilled in me more home training than my parents did in 10 years

Chee59:
I have brittle teeth. And I've removed 4.

So, the 3rd time I was to get my tooth removed. The dentist who was supposed to pull it out gave me injections to numb the site. Very painful stuff. But I don't know if they expired or something, because they didn't numb the pain well before he started.

He started like play like play.
Pull pull,
The pain was mad. I was in agony.
I was shrieking so hard and for so long that one of the women waiting her turn outside had to come and check what's going on.

It was 45 minutes of torture.
Yes, I know how long it took.
Somehow somehow the pain hit a crescendo

My hand connected with the dentist's dick
Egbamiiii

This idiot went full Hollywood when he moved to California with his C list actress wife.

The idiot is now desperate to cash out from his former Royal status and is now peddling slander and lies at the Jew's request so as to get book sales, tours and the soon to be aired exclusive Oprah sit down and tell all interview complete with fake tears.

A real bastard this Harry is.

Edit: a lot of folks have been attacking me over this post.

Let me clarify why I am truly angry with Harry allowing the devil Jews use him to bring down his brother and adopted father.

To anyone thinking of going to Russia. Do your research properly. There is a reason lots of blacks, Indian, Chinese e.t.c are bombarding US, UK, Germany, Sweden e.t.c with visa applications instead of Russia. Even the OP said the Russian embassy wasn't busy with less security, and their visa seems easy, yet nobody wants to go.

Best to stay away from Eastern Europe (Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus e.t.c) if you can.

HHAHAHAHAH RUSSIA PROPAGANDA THREAD..
I find this thread amazing because none of you here have ever lived in Russian to be making such gibberish claims, I am married to a Latvian and he will never ever choose Russia as a place for our holidays. Because he won't be able to protect me fully as a lady when attacked. Attacks on blacks are very frequent but you will never hear about it because media in Russia are not allowed to propagate it.
Our mutual Nigerian friend was attacked in the surb of Moscow and the authorities clearly said they couldn't do nothing about it.
I live in Latvia with my husband and kids at least one months in a year, during the summer. And I get racial slurs by russian speaking Latvians and Russians that reside in the country. Off course citizens outside their country will be friendly to outsiders they never met, even I received a warm welcome when I visited Yemen and many middle eastern countries.

You rate a country friendliness by the laws they have in place to protect foreigners when they come to visit or reside. Because there will always be racist and people that are not welcoming but the law is there to remind them there will be no tolerance for any form of violence.
