CelebritiesRe: Papa Ajasco: I Can’t Use The Name That Made Me Famous. I Have No House, No Car by laivwire(m): 12:00pm On Mar 15
SixSeven:
Fair enough but this man can still play different characters. The Pa Ajasco character has to be bald. He can always play other roles without the bald head and big tummy. What about that?

Did you just ask where is WAP today? shocked
I agree but the point here is he has been stereotyped which is a common phenomenum popular actors need to fight against actively. Having spent so much time and gaining popularity with the series, It won't be as easy to start attending castings or auditioning for other roles with wannabes. At best, he should have claimed some rights from WAP on the use of that character howbeit with a clause on margin splits. He would have fared better.

To be transparent, I'm out of touch with Nigerian TV programmes so I have no clue if WAP is still vibrant or not. Last time I watched was in the 2010s.

This is one example of why many actors also do not want to portray James bond characters. It restricts them to a persona that they cannot use on their own outside the franchise. That's why Daniel Craig for example wanted out as asap.

They can however leverage brand deals (if they come) using a semblance of that character. Pierce Brosnan can do add for watches without the 007 logo because people know him.

This man should have pivoted a while ago but no surprises, when things are going good, people think it would last forever. Where is WAP today? Even if they want to help, there's nothing much they can offer.

Why going back and forth every time.
Add what you want to add, the removal of the N100 didn't reflect in pump price. It's your cash out season, since the government cannot take the bull by the horn.
The masses will always survive.
Nigerians are never satiisfied. You have to take cognisance of spply chain efficiency and lead time. Did the govt provide a stable price of crude, probably not.

He raised the price to protect his back end, everyone screamed. Now he's taken back, people still complain.

InvestmentRe: Which Should I Go For With 12 Million Naira? Enviable Or Mutual Funds/piggyvest by laivwire(m): 8:57am On Mar 09
The interest rate of Piggyvest is just too low these days with 600k profit on #10m for 6 months. It's not matching with inflation at all although it has proven to be a safe asset.

It will even be better to buy and fence a land and wait for three years for better profit. Or split the #10m, keep some in Piggyvest and use the other to start a small trade/flip business that requires no fixed costs but you need to know what you're doing.

Good luck

BusinessRe: Shoprite Completes Shut-Down In Nigeria by laivwire(m): 8:48am On Mar 08
It's Tayọ Amusan, not Tobi Amusan.

In my opinion, I don't think ShopRite broke even at all with the rate of expansion back then. Nigerians only went to these stores on Sundays to buy a few snacks but snap plenty pictures.

The Tinubulation put the final nail in their coffin with low consumer purchasing power and exponential operating costs.

Little surprise.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Attacks Military Base, IDP Camp In Borno, Soldiers, Civilians Dead by laivwire(m): 11:08am On Mar 05
It still beats me how these camps are being ambushed. This is a war zone and the army is expected to be alert at all times for the sake of their lives.

It's sad they do not even have constant surveillance to notify them of herd movements of these terrorists.

You would also expect they have certain protocols for such attacks due to the high probability of happening but sadly it's not the case. Yet while some keep saying the army is well equipped, the terrorists are mopping up all the equipment.

How can you have people eating millions every month in this country without doing a single thing that using pen to change figures when young educated people are going through this level of hardship.

Yet their sycophants praise them all day in social media networks.

@op, only advice I can give has been given by Hypnotize. Learn a hand skill you can use to augment and pivot to entrepreneurship. Even Nigerian employers are so cruel.
TravelRe: Nigeria’s Airports Still Offline Despite N800m Budget, Free MTN Wifi Service by laivwire(m): 2:01pm On Mar 02
mmsen:
They've definitely slowed down on the begging at the airport and you can see that they're working to improve MMIA but not having free wifi in 2026 is archaic.

What happened to Glo? Did they not used to provide that service?
I agree. Abosolutely no idea on Glo.
TravelRe: Nigeria’s Airports Still Offline Despite N800m Budget, Free MTN Wifi Service by laivwire(m): 12:43pm On Mar 02
Imagine landing in a country where your sim isn't registered and you can't even connect with the people who are supposed to pick you up. Many times I have had to beg and borrow a strangers phone just to connect with others in the airport awaiting my arrival.

The moment you land in Nigeria, you get a feeling of the hardship once they open the doors of that plane. From the heat to the dysfunctional carousel to the "wetin you bring come" crew despite billions going down yearly. May God help us

But to be fair, some personnel have really improved their professionalism especially customs and when departing.

This design is even wrong. Why is the platform so close to the lions. Close enough they can reach out of the cage with their limbs.

Even in the U.I zoo, there is a clear border between where the lions can reach and where the people stand.

TravelRe: JAPA: The Rush To Move Abroad Should Stop by laivwire(m): 9:25am On Feb 28
The fact that people have thriving businesses doesn't mean all is rosy for them. Lots of Nigerian entrepreneurs look okay and thriving on the surface but are seriously battling to keep the lights on under crazy pressure from loans ,bad staff, poor infrastructure and an oppressionist regime. They would rather bail out before their businesses are shuttered or shame comes upon them.

UK is not upgraded Nigeria, it is light years ahead. If you are gifted enough to thrive in Nigeria's harsh environment, you would get better returns for your creativity and talents in developed countries. That's an indisputable fact.

But as you should know, opportunity and talent is not enough anywhere, you need good timing/luck too.

Japa if you can but take it as just another risky venture. Always protect your back end.
