mikeapollo:You could have responded to the comment without starting that stupid Igbo vs Yoruba comparison. And to call a whole tribe desperate exposes you as not only foolish and disrespectful but also lacking in unbiased intellect. There are many other tribes in Nigeria who travel for both business,professional jobs and unfortunately crime. Since you mentioned Igbos let me tell you about them. The Igbos have traditionally been known as entrepreneurial people even before the war you speak of. The Igbos have been known in history even before the advent of colonialism as merchants and business people and it's a trait that has been passed down the generations. The only difference between the Igbo traders and the Arab traders from hundreds of years ago was that the Arab traders travelled further. This was because the Arabs also had a religious agenda besides trading. On the other hand the Igbos were solely interested in turning a profit and not imposing their beliefs on other alien tribes. So yes Igbos travel and they are very business minded and if more people were like that Nigeria would be less dependent on federal government allocation and more progressive. |
McBrooklyn:You are an example of the idiots in society she's speaking about. I'm guessing you have or had a mother. Would she be proud of you potty mouth? |
bebe2:That's a good 12 years past. I live in Abbey Wood in a 3bedhouse about 10mins walk from Plumstead High Street. That £650 you were paying won't even get you a studio flat now. Mortgages were easy then but now you need upwards of £60,000 for the cheapest deposits. It's not like one doesn't know what to do its the ability to do it that's difficult. A younger me used to laugh at people who were in council properties as not smart but an older me now understands that they were actually smarter than me. I'm in private sector rent but would grab public sector housing if I can find it. |
I'm jealous of all my Naija peeps the majority of rent prices except for Abuja and parts of Lagos are quite good. Although when you factor in salary sizes it's not so good. My rent in London excluding council tax is £1400 per month x 12 months = £16,800 per year. In Naira @ N420 = £1 means my own rent is over 7 Million Naira per year. Bear in mind I live in a normal middle class area. If I lived in central London you will have to multiple this by at least 4 times. |

Akshow:May you also experience the type of Change Nigeria is experiencing at the moment. Say Amen if you are confident. |
Phame:Since you approve of PMB's governance then may you life and destiny experience thesame blessing Nigeria is experiencing under Buhari. Please say amen if you agree |
@ JohnNgene I've just sent you N10,011.87. Because of the time of day now you may receive it on Monday morning in your GTB account. Please let me know when you do. God bless with your efforts. Cheers. |
JohnNgene:JohnNgene I can't claim someone else's contribution to your effort. It wasn't me who sent that money. I hadn't seen your reply to my message earlier so I haven't sent it yet. But I'm in front of my laptop now and it should reach your account in a maximum of two hours. So reply this message with the account details and I'll get it done asap. Pls confirm as soon as you get it. Cheers . |
fulanimafia:Your stupidity is staggering as it is breath taking. You managed to completely ignore the subject matter to start insulting members of the Igbo tribe.Whilst it's obvious you are a miscreant with all the foolish enthusiasm of a jobless hateful key board warrior the real question is when will you have sense? |
Bigprozzie:Why are you making yourself seem a fool online. Or is it that you dream about Igbos? Don't waste your air time if you have nothing useful to say. |
Would be nice to know if there are shop units still available and how much the cost. #Letsgobackhome. |
mascot87:It's now 2016. The government has now changed stance and the promise is no more. It'll be interesting to know how people like you are feeling now after all the rabid partisanship of 2015. |
Well done. You are brave and hard working. You are also a positive inspiration to people who want to start their own business. I commend your efforts in moving from Lagos back home in the East to do your business. That's how development will be born in the region. Slowly but surely if more enterprising youths can follow your foot steps in investing and developing the region we will witness the birth of a new era in the Igboland. I'd like to contribute the sum of N20,000 to support your venture. It's not a loan and has no conditions it's simply my gift in admiration for you. I'm based in London but can do a transfer. Let me know your preferred method of collection. God bless. |
HungerBAD:I know everyone is entitled to an opinion. But stupidity in the face of mass suffering should be frowned upon. You just sat at home with your small air time typing nonsense. Others from company ceo to the cleaners are fearing for their well being and how they'll provide for their family and you are shouting "lies". You either can't afford newspapers or you live in a farm sorrounded by village folks who are not yet employed in the formal sector which would explain your complete lack of knowledge of what's happening in Nigeria. May God forgive and give you sense too. |
Every President is expected to make presidential trips. That's understandable, however under the circumstances Nigeria finds itself this volume of travelling within this time frame is ill-advised. What a lot of people don't know is that we are on the cusp of a great economic crash unless something urgent is done. Let me explain why our situation is an emergency 1: Price of Crude oil has fallen. 2: Per above our income has fallen and our foreign reserve too. 3: The last national budget was based on an oil price that's no longer existing meaning that a lot of things like roads,hospitals and other projects that would create employment and help the country can't be funded. 4: The demands for Crude oil have also reduced and Nigeria has thousands of barrels worth of oil stock back logged and unsold. 5: Per all above there's now a dollar scarcity that has meant many businesses are either operating below capacity or are planning to shut up shop this year. 6: Per point 5. Not all these businesses are importers!!. Some of them are in trouble because they secured external dollar based finance/loans and are now unable to pay back because they cant get dollars.This means their credit files are now damaged. Meaning also their survival as business is no longer guaranteed in the near future. 7: Per point 6. Many of these businesses will lay off their staff. 8: Per point 7. There be more unemployment this year. 9: Per point 8. There will be more crimes in Nigeria. 10: Per point 5,6,7, Failing business and more unemployment means far less money going to the banks and far less taxes going to government. 11: Per point 10. It becomes a vicious self perpetuating circle. These are very dire times. We are actually in a state of emergency but people don't actually understand it yet. By the end of this year dollar exchange rate would be the least of people's problems. As looking for what to eat would be foremost on their minds. May God help our dear country Nigeria. |
Since "Ijaw Land" is still technically within Nigeria, it and all its inhabitants are still subject to the rule of law as prescribed by the Nigerian Judiciary. So yes both Tompolo and his properties can be seized by the law. Secondly the youths of today should come away from all this "our land" business. Your elders tried it previously and civil war broke out that didn't benefit any side. The youth have the benefit of hindsight not to repeat old mistakes. By all means retain and indulge in your respective cultures. But always remember you are a Nigerian. Working against Nigeria's peace is like setting fire to a room in a house and then running to another room for shelter. The fire will eventually visit you too. |
Mynd77:Are you minding that poster. It's part of the reason I hardly engage people on this forum anymore. Infantile ignorance is rife. What he doesn't appreciate is that even the world's biggest economies are also some of the biggest importers. Everyone from the U.S to China import on a far larger scale than Nigeria. The irony is that as development increases so does the demands for the sustenance of the development. There is no nation in the history of modern economy that is able to meet all their demands locally. |
Massive and large scale jobs cuts will be experienced this year it's inevitable. The government is understandably rationing dollars because there isn't enough to go round. However many businesses require the dollars to function. From Pharmaceutical companies that need chemical reagents not found in Nigeria to Factories that require equipment and parts also not found in Nigeria. Before you ask these companies to patronise local products the local products have to be in existence. It's a catch 22 situation. One that can only be addressed with astute fiscal and economic policies from people that actually know what they are doing. And this is my biggest worry for Nigeria. |
Sunnybobo3:Nice one. You've just invented a very fitting moniker for the zombies. "The Blaming Blamers". ![]() |
hakir:Hi please advise the name of the estate and the exact location it is situated. Also what are the payment options available? Thanks |
goodluckar:Please advise on the following: Are the Plots within an estate if so what is the name of the estate? What type of titles docs are available for the plots? What are the payment options available? Thanks |
Samtobh:If all you said about your qualification is true then you are already a rich man in the making. Programming skills are some of the most sort after right now. I know Nigeria is a miss road country. You have two options. Based on your I.T skills you listed.Start an I.T company where you can offer web development and web design services in Nigeria. Second option try and get to the U.K or U.S. Hourly rate for a Web Developer on contract in London is between £21.80 - £28.80. That's N8,720 -N11,520 per hour!!!!!!! |
stanbuggy:God help the mumu woman that agreed to marry idiot you like you. But it's really not your fault Social media has given every tom,dick and mad man a voice. Key board warrior hiding behind key board to insult your elders. slowpoke it's not your fault I'm trading words with a single digit I.Q lemming like you.. |
[quote author=stanbuggy post=42754426]U wanna see a picture? Btw idiot I wasn't hating on chidinma, just asking how this is news worthy! Why am I even explaining to a retard...toodols[/quote ] Your father is the idiot for birthing a disrespectful toad like yourself. You are not even happy I said you have a babe. Teenage runt..be gone! |
stanbuggy:It's not Nairaland's fault your own babe wowo. Take heart and stop hating. |
KINGinVAHALA:Probably the worst advice ever. You are telling people to gamble what is essentially the equivalent of 2 months salary for 80% of Nigerians on a football match that they have no control over ? You are worse than the devil!!! |
I support a lot of the ideas of the Buhari government however a lot of the other ideas of this government is misguided. It would appear that an over emphasis is be put on this corruption witch hunt at the expense of substantive ideas on how to improve the lot of the common man. Even after seizing this or arresting that. You still need to sit down and factualize how to create employment,stimulate the economy,improve infrastructure and guarantee security. This is what people who voted for "Change" want. It's tiring and becoming boring that all Nigerians read in the papers about government these days is who they are chasing or who is in court. By all means punish the criminals but when are you actually going to do some governance? What has changed between the last government and the current government that has lead to the actual improvement of the life of the common man. I haven't seen anything can someone please tell us? |
Bigprozzie:Don't you ever get tired of your stupidity? You've finished ranting and those Easterners you are pointing at can still afford to train you and your family combined. The funniest about all this Lagos tribal claiming is that 99% of the claimants are not even Lagos indigenes. Your father hails from Osogbo you claim lagos. Your mother is from Ijebu Ode you still claim Lagos, no go find work dey there dey waste your air time. Omo ale!!! |
There's no N. |
I understand the decision of JP Morgan however I support the decision of the CBN. JP Morgan an investment bank lists 1. Lack of liquidity. 2. Poor transparency 3. Forex uncertainty as their official reasons for delisting Nigerian government bonds. However the biggest reason is "lack of liquidity". Understand that an investor's interest and the interests of the local economy are not always similar. Liquidity means availability of cash/funds. If there is a lot of liquidity the value of the local currency drops. It also makes the assets of the local economy cheaper. This favours a foreign investor as his dollars gets more for less. However this does not favor the local people or economy as in effect they are losing value. The decision of the CBN to implement currency controls is very good wisdom. It is to protect the currency from a damaging devaluation. There are obvious side effects but they are temporary as the CBN has to show foreigners we are not some fly spick African nation like Zimbabwe or Uganda who allowed foreign speculators to turn them into countries where you take a bag of money to buy a loaf of bread. |
