₦airaland Forum

I can only imagine the conversation here on nairaland and other comment sections when we have departed.
The confusion is better imagined than experienced. So these weirdos were right all along about God,Jesus,salvation,holiness,the rapture.
I can't miss the rapture because I have made the judge of the world the custodian of my soul.
I proudly belong to Jesus,and when he comes,he will be taking with him all those that have chosen to forsake the world and follow him.

The money so earned will be used to upgrade teaching facilities in each medical school as well as the hostels that look like Kirikiri on some occasions.
How many things government wan Subsidise?
Subsidise fuel,education,hajj , mistresses....
Abeg make it 10 years sefff.

Fantastic piece of legislation.
Unfortunately it will not pass because Nigerians worship at the altar of migration by all means necessary.
Unfortunately this is one of the only steps that can stem the tide of the decay in our heediconealth are sector.
For me,step one would be to introduce student loans and then jack up the cost of studying a course like medicine.
If you really want to study medicine you will pay like 3-5M per year. If your folks don't have money,Access or GTB will loan you the money which can be written off as you earn points post house job.

The supermarket business is only going to get bigger as the generation that likes the open air market concept age and die out.
Next we will have specialty stores e.g a soft furnishing and home accessories store instead of the guys at tejuosho pulling you to look through their curtains album or a self build building materials store instead of the chaos at muslin or orile.
The UK is so small and has thousands of the main supermarket brands. I never noticed any other supermarket apart from my local kwiksave till well into my teens only to find out kwiksave was very small in the scheme of things where big boys like Tesco and Sainsburys were.
In conclusion,it is the wild wild west now,but not for long. Order is coming to that industry and only the big boys will survive.

Every business is lucrative to the untrained eye till you actually take the plunge and get knee deep in the day to day running of the business.
Is it lucrative? That answer is not dependent on location alone but the expertise of the owner of the business and how willing they are to learn.
Staff will make mistakes (I.e bill you for 3 items when you have 5 in your cart), they will invite their family and friends to shop only to generate half of what they pick as an invoice while security will just glance and tick the invoice.
Should we talk about products that expire,that is why I prefer cosmetics ,wine and alcohol ,cleaning and laundry . U are far safer with those categories,but some items stay so long on the shelf even in these categories that you can almost do thanksgiving the day you sell one.
The business as a concept in Nigeria is still in its infancy and trust me that in a few years there will be massive consolidation with the smaller brands dying out to make way for dominant regional players not exceeding 10 in number.

Many don't realise that the bottom line of the British immigration policies is demographics and future tax revenues.
A service based nation with an aging population ,,significant LGBT population that do not procreate and a falling birthday is a disaster waiting to happen.
Fortunately developing countries like Nigeria and India love to dey born like rats,so what do they do ? They open the gates while their experts go to work on the data they have.
These people know what they are doing and don't care too much about what country is affected.
They simply want highly skilled immigrants who still have some years on their clock to contribute significantly to the tax pool of the future.

I have tried to profile the mind of an educated,right thinking,exposed young Nigerian that supports the APC and my conclusion is that these folks are not really educated,they claim to have been to a university but they are not really thinking right. They manage to type good english but they are myopic and can hardly see beyond their noses.
What kind of human being tolerates failure after failure ? Who tolerates the custodians of untold hardship,the people who made us to start fasting and praying just to go from Lagos to Ibadan.
Now we are debating the policies of sound minds as regarding what is best for their society while some are her busy endorsing total misfits.
For their own sakes I just hope they are trolling !

Nigerians have always japad,my own parents got married in England and only returned to Nigeria after the civil war but trust me when I tell you that those that did well in Nigeria far surpassed those that eventually managed to become middle class.
Nigeria is rapidly growing and with growth comes needs and an opportunity for value to be created.Forget who wins the elections and stop whining about how bad the government is,get up from your behind and add some value to people's lives.
Someone started importing hair,another umbrellas,razor blades and the children of these folks go and play where most people sell all that they have to go and hustle.
Just look at how many people Instagram has made extremely wealthy, all the small business owners,the skit makers,the influencers and yet people talk about earning in pounds.
Oh they earn in pounds but do you pay 800 pounds or 1k pounds for your apartment in Lekki or Ikeja.
Do you buy a canned coke for N600 ?
Please leave if you have to but in 10 years time,history will judge if the mass hysteria of japaaing actually made any sense.

Unfortunately many claim to be educated but do not read. If only folks dug into history they would discover nothing is new and history keeps repeating itself.
In the 1800s while England and parts of Europe were on overdrive due to the industrial revolution and churning out life changing technology ,the port cities in these same countries were witnessing unprecedented emigration to the US because to some that was their only hope.Italians,Irish,Scottish,Welsh,they all Japad like you people love to say but the grass only seemed greener on the other side,but was it ?
Back then u didn't even need a visa,you just arrived at a port in New York and they did a crude physical exam to ascertain you weren't carrying an infectious disease,ur details were recorded and off you went into the world to go and hustle.
Hustle they did but most immigrants never made it,the new world was a mirage. Living conditions for immigrants were impossible,dark,cold rooms shared by several families in buildings called tenements and worst was the ethnic clusters that gave rise to gangs.
Mirror that with the UK today,most immigrants arrive just excited to wear winter jackets and possibly see snow for the first time. They take pictures like they were going to be banned if they didn't document their new found freedom ,then gbam reality hits. Accommodation crisis,they are priced out of the market because of insufficient funds and now resort to overcrowding and inconveniencing more settled immigrants who give them a few weeks grace after which they subtly hint them that they need to start dropping.
Why do the Ethiopians bandy together, the East Africans the Chinese,the Indians.
I once lived in North London and believe me in some parts,you would have thought they dropped you in India.
Meanwhile in Nigeria stuff is happening just like stuff was happening in England back then but people are too blind to see and are fixated on just one singular option, escaping to Neverland.

I have been married for ages and I confess I wish I had listened to all the holiness preachers than my unholy hormones.
I had a lot of enjoyable premarital sex with unbelievable adventures,fast forward to the marriage and I am shocked this was the same woman.
I chopped all the chicken and gravy before they finished serving the food,now I dey use fork count bland white rice wey dey hard to chew talkless of swallow.

Hedonini:
Before? You don't need any fake pastor to tell you the obvious. Only nincompoops marry for sex and such. It's the worst reason for anybody, male or female, to get married.

Oh she sabi ride or she get sweet pucci... Or he sabi fvck like tiger, he no dey tire. Lol. All that na during the no pressure dating/playing phase. Two seconds, everything go change and e go be like scam

When the unavoidable see finish of living together day after day after day enter, plus the endless pressures upon pressures of family life, na body go tell you.

You are a very wise person.
Coming from someone who has learnt the hard way.

@ aribisala
I will seriously advice you to work on your pride because it is too obvious that you are a very arrogant person.
It was Lucifer's pride that landed humanity in the mess it is in.
So for your own good,chill.

I have followed this entire conversation and seriously aribisala you need to chill.
You are exhibiting serious toxicity but you are feeling rather intelligent.
For your information there are all sorts of people on this platform including a lot of subject matter experts.
Calm down,no be only you sabi.

kolexy:
I think Tunde Lemo is just a figure heard Chairman. The real owners of Titan Trust Bank are noy known, at least to the public. But I suspect some folks up north.

False !!
Titan is owned by foreigners.
In a few weeks,their identify will be revealed.
Someone said a lizard swallowed a crocodile, funny but in actual terms it is a case of a living dog being better than a dead lion.
Union and First Bank derailed long ago,but First Bank was able to raise capital just before the collapse of 09.
Union wanted to raise 500 Billion back then,but the issue flopped.If they had raised that money,they would have become No 2, albeit an incompetent sloppy No 1.

vejitas:
Pray without Ceasing.

Drink 2 cups of anointing oil daily, everybody go dey okay Las Las.

What kind of advice is this ?
Which babalawo issued you this prescription ?
A lot of Nigerians go to church but have no clue about the ways of God.
Olive oil is not medicine,it is mainly a condiment for cooking.

Candidlady:
Who will iblame now


humans or god


righteousness2 wil stil come here to preach bout "what matterz most is if she truly servd god.. Heaven and hell giberish"

kai poor lady was going to serve god ¤cleaning the church¤ pastor and im household go stil dey house dey sleep o!

ijust confuse

¤kabiru do you have any lighter with you?¤

I hope for your own sake that when you close your eyes in death, consciousness ceases permanently.
But if after death,you are still conscious,it means your soul would have detached from your body and then it will be time to face the music.
Those that refuse Jesus on this side of eternity will face him as judge on the other side.
If there is evil,then there definitely is good. We didn't get here by accident,we were creatively created and hence there is a God up there.

I must admit since this was whole thing started,I don't enjoy using the loo any longer.
Every time I sit,the images of snakes crawling into the pipes keep roaming through my mind and then I jump up.
I wish I wasn't aware of this whole thing because fear is torture even when the odds are like zero.

3MB actually follows a route which is like the shallowest part of the lagoon that in is near land.
This is because the deeper the water,the higher the construction costs so it only makes sense the water isn't too deep.
However during the dry season the lagoon loses depth and you can actually see fishermen standing in the water especially between Adekunle and Unilag and just before Oworo.
As per visibility ,normal people will not see jack but professional murky water divers can even find a watch or phone if they know where it fell.
That said,that water is disgusting because somewhere around Iddo,all the poop trucks in Lagos dislodge.
I heard that is what the fish eat,poop and dead human beings.

Dear Righteousness,

What an amazing platform God has presented you to share his love with as many as daily open different threads on nairaland.
Maybe it started as you commenting,but now I believe it is a calling and the people are listening.They may make jokes and invite your commentary sarcastically but believe me your words are gradually having an impact on many hearts.
The world has gone crazy with everybody just doing anyhow,but increase your volume if that is what God has sent you to do.
Not everything negative that happens is related to the end of days,but I do believe the global conflicts, pandemics and an imminent worldwide economic collapse is certainly driving us towards something.
I remember the day Jesus was to return in 1990 or 1991,how we all gathered in my secondary school chapel waiting for something to happen and then it didn't.
Many started poking fun and till today they still poke fun at the return of Jesus. Even Femi Kuti in his song 'wonder' acknowledged that many have died waiting for him to return.
Unfortunately many forget that any day could be their last and if they died without Christ it won't matter if Jesus came back or not.
The warning is for those that would be alive at his return which could be today or in another 30 years. But what if you died today ?
Pastor Righteousness,God bless you and continue the good work.You have prime real estate waiting for you on the other side where the buildings are cladded in the glory of God and can never be ever collapse.

Na waa oooo.
People now authoritatively speak on finance like it was some beer parlour gist.
Imagine someone saying Otedola gets a cut off every First Bank transaction. Another person called him a corporate raider who strips bare every company he touches.
People please get an education or at least your facts right. Not everyone who comes to nairaland is miserably ignorant.

Drizzy5001:
Shaggy dey try for comedy, but I still prefer MrSabinus, Nasty blaq, Unku sp and Yawa.. They are the best comedians currently. Hbd shaggy.

I totally agree.
I think sabinus and nasboi are the best Instagram comedians.
Zicsaloma is a fantastic actor but I just hate it when men dress like women.

DSoj:
This 40yrs old niga?? Liar

Because he is constantly in our faces,we think we know him so well but give the young man a break,he just finished youth service barely 2 or 3 years ago.
Secondly Shaggy keeps striking,some strikes are misses (hence some people not finding him funny)but he never stops posting which means he is constantly working.
His generation should learn from this man because he is seriously monetizing the spotlight because no one knows where this whole industry is going. The whole skit making thing was an accidental success for our entertainment industry but once people see say money dey something,everybody will jump inside,hence we have more content than time to view the content.
Props to Shaggy,woli agba,lasisi,woli arole because I believe they started from the heart.

paradiseadams:
Rice and pepper soup
bread and pepper soup
beans and akpu

White rice and pepper soup is actually getting popular. I love it especially if it is soft goat meat.

Bread and Mayonnaise.
I go vomit straight.

FreeIgboho:
Well it's more than just a language in Naija. It is a guage by which your level of education is measured. If you keep saying "in the abraoad" learned people will immediately know your level, plus it bites their ears!

Did you hear that razz is the new cool?
Even people who schooled abroad with imported accents have to acquire a bit of street lingo to prove their street cred.

In the abroad started out as a way of poking fun at the IJGBs who usually would come to terrorize naija for about two weeks every December.
It caught on and is cool as long as we communicating.
Oga if you enter Jamaica,you fit get hypertension if pattois is broken down to you.
Slangs are cool for culture. Relax bro !

FreeIgboho:
An old person will NEVER be homeless in America except by choice.
A "capitalist" country that pays you just for being old!

Oga,abeg enter Los Angeles and see something.
Homeless people yapaa to the extent that you are more likely to match human excrement while walking in LA than in Lagos.

Limassol:
Exactly what the leaders want: exonerate them of blames, despite the fact they played a crucial role in bringing the country to it's knees. Buhari and co love your types. By the way, who do you blame for the country woes?

You and woman don fight before?
You can quarrel with a partner to a oint where you would query your own sanity.
I hated this govt so much that after a while l felt thinking or commenting about its woes was hurting me mentally.
At that moment I began to see the average Nigerian wants to run you down if you give them chance.

If we cannot collectively dream about a better future,then all man better dream him own dream.
Let us talk about politicians,how many of them ever solved a problem before entering politics.
How many of them ever created value by running a successful business?
Nigeria's problem is more economic than people realize but we are so focused on politics that most people think our problem is political.
We have retired army generals,retired civil servants who were mostly corrupt, professional political jobbers running a country with so much economic potential but without a clue how to harness it.
Nigeria should look to Ghana where even African Americans are choosing of their own will to settle in and loads of their citizens are returning.

Nigeria breaks my heart almost on a daily basis,but being here is a choice I made over a decade ago because I had dreams of an amazing future here.
Nigeria is like a beautiful bride you hope to spend the rest of your life with,but then her character stinks and she keeps showing you new traits that just leave you exhausted.
I love it here most especially as something about being here keeps God on your mind.
I still love Nigeria and I believe in making it here but I absolutely detest the leadership even though at this point I no longer blame the government for our woes.

Ausval:
Suffer head citizen ...can't there be engineering control to prevent flooding out the residential area ...normally for real life , I believe say of you see me you go address me with "Sir"....your country is a failed country, they are making the people suffer the consequences of their incompetence and you that is not ignorant is clapping and supporting them ...bros sometimes ehen, gather money, apply for visa ,go other countries in Europe,America or Asia and then you go understand how things suppose dey ...you fucking stay in one country and you dey claim say you nor dey ignorant...mugu

I don't think it is wise to insult people just because you live abroad. Infact those who count themselves privileged for living abroad have an undiagnosed case of deep rooted inferiority.
You are a Nigerian and even if you obtain a foreign passport,your soul is still tied to the entity called Nigeria. If you like migrate to Pluto or Neptune,naa naija you be and the earlier you joined the solution train,the better for us.
I am sure the London Underground had started operating before many of our grandfather's were born,but small travel una go begin shout 'saner climes ' up and down.

Now I am convinced that even a lot of people on nairaland don't read.
A dam is constructed on an existing waterway after the topography surrounding the river has been thoroughly studied.
The dam is erected at the best location usually on a narrow portion because it doesn't make sense to erect a fence in water across a wide area( that will be foolish) and secondly the narrowing of the river increases pressure at that point especially for use by turbines to generate power.
Upstream before the dam water begins to accumulate and further increases the pressure at the dam which is put to use to work the turbines.
If the turbines are out of use as is usually the case and you have excess rain,the communities that are relocated during the construction of the dam will still be in danger because even though they have moved to higher ground,their homes and farms will be destroyed by the rising backlog.
The only option is to occasionally release the water downstream (like taking a leak when your bladder is full)
Unfortunately we have a lot of low lying areas around the course this water takes into the ocean hence the almost annual flooding.
Nigeria no get the money for the technology required to solve this problem but in countries like the Netherlands,naa pikin play be this issue.
