No country in Nigeria that’s better than Nigeria..

Leave media, experience it physically. Been to a couple Africa countries and I can tell you for sure what’s on ground..

Not with the current state of things. Even earning in USD doesn't make so much of a difference because the inflation in Nigeria has made every single thing overvalued.

If you have a similar earning in other West African countries today as you have in Nigeria, you would be abito meet your daily needs comfortably at least.

How can you charge ₦100 for on-site atm that would only dispense ₦10k per withdrawal. This is not yet considering all the taxes in vat and electronic transfers. Expectedly, bank ATMs would be clogged making life more miserable for people.

The only time you use an off-site ATM is when you bank ATMs is faulty or not close by. Why should consumers pay that price? These taxes are literally transferring ATM service charges from the banks to the customers, worse still, they are doing it at a profit.

Now bankers salaries increase and literally only banks, oil and some big manufacturers are reporting profits. Every other parastatal is cutting costs and getting flushed out of the system.

Only few people know but millions of people would not survive the current hardship literally.

Pojomojo:
Are you married?

Is there a reason for this question?

DeOTR:
That's too stressful. I don't think I can spend 2 hours on transit and still do anything that day.

People in Lagos spend more than that amount of time in traffic on a daily basis inside stuffy, crammed, rickety and smelly vehicles.

A long haul train for example is spacious and more comfortable. You can sleep or work on your laptop enroute.

DeOTR:
Seriously? Where in the world do people travel more than 800km daily to work?

At least where I live for sure. The cost of renting a place in the city is far costlier than a monthly pass for an express train to and fro 31 days of the month over 1000km. The journey also takes approximately 2hrs. Leave by 6am, arrive office before 9am. Same in the evening.

In more developed climes, people live in Abuja and come to work in Lagos every weekday. Why we can't have express transport from Ibadan to Lagos at this time is still so strange to me.

Real estate prices will continue surging in Lagos, ain't nothing you can do about it. Land reclamation alone will put new lands in the hinterlands at tens of millions.

Just as the topic says. What good locations can I scout within Abuja with this amount.

Looking to build a couple flats that can be used as Airbnb so the location is kind of important.

Thanks

It's a Camry muscle again. Similar to recent ghastly accident in Akwa Ibom.

I remember the acceleration error recall for 2009 - 2011 Camry when the cars just start picking up high speeds and the brakes don't slow the car anymore. It led to loss of lives back then. I hope it's not this fault that's causing these accidents today.

Open or expand a business around your skill.

Food hoarding can be profitable because current prices are below the forecast for the year although risks also come with storing the grains. I'm not invested in this business though but if I had the opportunity, I would.

It's lurking within the news but I know something big is coming in the energy sector especially due to moves made by Elumelu and Otedola. Do your research on the money market in this space.

Getting farmland and cropping/animal husbandry is also good if you have some expertise in the field.

Other than that, buy more land or develop the ones you have if they are located in a good area.

You can also sell bad location lands, pool the funds, add your ₦5m and get a more lucrative land of about ₦15m per plot. You should be ready to develop the land within 6 months (it's usually part of the rules in new estates in Abuja now) and sell off.

How come an 18 seater bus is carrying 44 passengers . RIP to the dead

Bros, I tire

Sounds fake to me because the expected and natural reaction at this point is to confront them on the spot. There's no denying that kind of evidence.

If it's for real though, I don't think the Op would have the mental stamina to play any games afterwards. Pack all her shit and leave it by the doorstep for her to pick when she comes and tell her what you saw to avoid her fake tears and twisted narratives trying to convince you otherwise and start doubting yourself.

Another point is to avoid chasing girls immediately to enact revenge or prove you are a sweet boy. It would only lead to further mental degradation as you would feel the rejections more than they really are.

Give yourself healing and hope for the best. Such is life.

When next she buys something, tell her not to pay. Give her for free

Repeat multiple times until she's asks why you're being nice to her. Express yourself afterwards in blunt terms as you've paid your dues.

Simple, find an item to buy and resell for profit. Don't do any capital expenditures with that money.

Life is so cheap in this country. A quick CPR and paramedic assitance cold have saved this life.

I once witnessed a vehcile accident unfold and we all rushed to the scene. A trailer had hit a boy off a motorcycle. The eople around just laid him on the bare asphalt and looked on for minutes until he started gasping for breath. They all watched him go still before calling a keke to carry his body.

We still have a long way to go

[quote author=Brainbox0806 post=130107572][/quote]Thanks for your invaluable input. I wonder why it didn't get better coverage.

When we say a major problem with running business in Nigeria is the integrity of the people you work with, the typical Nigerianss we meet on a daily, there's no lie. As a matter of fact, I see it as an opportunity because if I can run a business and assure my partners of my steadfast honesty and professionalism, they would be willing to pay for those qualities alone.

So far, I see commere as the easiest and surest way to make bucks in the country. Source cheap, sell with a margin, move kilos per time and smile to the bank.

She's locking in her green card on the way to citizenship.

cr7lomo:
That one career done die tey tey

With over 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, I don't think so. He arguably has better songs now that he's gone solo.

cr7lomo:
Why is it that whenever they leave their record label, their careers die off

Has Ruger's career died off?

North Korea blueprint playing out. He would soon proclaim himself as the everlasting president.

That's a Sport trac not F-150.

Ekule genes are really strong though. Sheesh

I wonder when we would have non-fiction documentaries of the Nigerian police force investigations. I would like to wacth one but I doubt they would release any because they are likely to employ some methods that infringe on human rights and maybe tort**e.

MotorConnectz4u:
yes

Tell that to the rookies.

This car has had its right headlamp and bumper changed. I hope its not accidented though.
That rear bumper is repainted for sure.

Its either you or the owner who told you is lying. One of the two.

Oxymoron.

But you can take your naira to Benin and convert directly or am I missing something?

Coldie:
I have been in the UK for sometime now and the system has totally swallowed me, I feel very depressed and I want to leave permanently. I can only visit but not live there anymore. What’s the possibility.

How is Nigeria at present?

How much do I need to start back?

You need to add some context. What are the issues?
Are you not having enough money?
Are you not having someone to talk to?
Are you tired of your job type?
Is it a health issue with the cold? It's winter so maybe you need more sunlight or vitamin D.

This guy has got some attention now and he would ride this trendwave till it crests. The only thing is he won't know when to stop until its too late. By then, fans won't see him as funny anymore, they would only see him as a f...ol.

I remember an old funny thread on nairaland about a guy who shaved his butt hair. That thread was comedy at its finest. When you're done, you'd realise the hair has its function.

Amnesty? That was during Bubu era. He must meet his damsels in Hades asap.
