Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland

It's an amazing village. Where do you live in Europe?

Angelfrost:
Nope.... Not crazy, just largely deprived of animal protein (Only few families can afford large portions of beef, fish, chicken, turkey, etc).

Standard of living among most Nigerians is laughable and pathetic.

No be who don chop dey belleful dey think of meat/fish? Even the basic of staple food is becoming elusive to most Nigerians. I weep for my people.

Mitsurugi:
They are those that can only have one piece of meat on their plates. Those with 6 or more including assorted spread don't

you are right. I'm with you on this.

Shuggaa:
Personally have learnt that

Rough and bad guys are very good and caring as a friend,I swear am taking from a guy man view,most of those rough guys on streets were dey cause wahala most atimes na open eye to use survive but when u get close to them up will who dey are,

A Thug nigger once did something for me as a friend i wont forget...

Truly don't judge a book by it cover...

Some of them are some of the realest gees you will ever meet.

Codeye:
Supported none maybe I will change my mind if I leave this kontry but if I don't, no kids. I can't bear to witness my children going through what I had gone thru

I hope you move.... However, one thing in Nigeria that gulp most parents income is school fees, and guess what, in most developed countries it's and of high quality.

yusuf0876:
A minimum of 5

My namesake you do realise 5 kids come with huge finacial burden, right?

Trustedpronet:
If only I can reverse the hands of time....I need none.

You seem to have a child/children. Why the regrets?

In my humble opinion,If you earn anything below 250k a month, you have no business bringing a child to this world. No if's and no buts!

chika0072:
A.M hit me today...
So happy.....2weeks and 2days

Congratulations lady! Which uni?

4everEdward:
Enter to turkey stay 6months in turkey then enter Grace from there enter Hungary from there enter Germany . Thank me later

This is a terrible advice! Op kindly disregard this at it will lead you to depression and regrets. For a start, Turkey is facing upheavals at the moment, the economy has been in turbulence since 2018 - unemployment is double digits, inflation is throug the roofs. Greek authorities are tightening their border with Turkey, same with other European countries. Even if he manages to reach Germany, their are no guarrantees his refuge/assylum seeker status would be approved, he is likely to be rejected.

An adult need atleast 250k a month to maintain a decent standard of living in todays Nigeria. If you have your way, leave now! THE EARLIER THE BETTER.

The country has failed and still failing it's youth. Sad to read this, take heart buddy, i earnestly hope things get better for you.

TMTR:
I wish y'all can see how I am laughing real hard over here because of this comment.

So because I earn in dollars ,then I must be dubious. Mehn come on and I don't what you are yapping about me coming clean , come clean about what exactly

And don't worry about my financial capabilities of raising her cause that's the least of my worries

What do you do for a living? Let's start from here.

thebosstrevor1:
There are broadband companies and Mobile carriers.

At&t and verizon are the monopoly in the mobile carrier space.

What i wrote about was broadband.

The thread was talking about mobile data subscription not broadband . Besides, these companies also offer both services.

Oluchia:
Please o, what exactly is the colour of you guys problems?? Someone successfully adopted a child legally to give her a good life, he did not steal or kidnap her. So what's the problem?

Chilax lady! Did you notice in another thread where this guy is boasting he earns in $$? His ways are dubius. Let him come clean else no one will take him seriously. Not even in the US young people adopt kids(op was 25 when he made the move), it's odd and questionable. Do you even know the cost of succesfully raising a child and giving that child a memorable childhood? Even people in rich people countries think twice about this before making the move. Think about this. Being gullibe leads to regrets!

thebosstrevor1:
There are 7 companies that control broadband in america, Comcast, Charter, AT&T, Verizon, CenturyLink, Frontier, and Windstream

Comcast and Charter control the market, so you are at their mercy in terms of price

hold on bros! Who fed you these lies? Just so you know, AT%T dominate the US market share by far with more than 44%, then followed by Verizon and T-mobile lagging behind. That talk of monopoly is absurd - is akin to saying MTN monopolise the market here which is untrue.

miqos02:
dollar was trading above 187 naira in 2015

How much did it trade, then? Any source?

ProfAmaben:
I earn in dollars, not bothered

The people around in naira thus you should be bothered. Empathy is natural human feeling,show it.

thebosstrevor1:
But this your analysis is RUBBISH.

What has purchasing power got to do with internet data.

That same data showed that India had the cheapest data because of lot of competitors. Is the purchasing power of india more than the United states

The cost of data is expensive in the United states because of monopoly not because of purchasing power

How is Data price monopolise in the USA?

TMTR:
It's all rosy over here,so don't know what you are talking about, we chilling , we balling so no stress

Spare me those lines bro...... You can live and wallow in self-deceit all you want. Your life,your cross! If your narrative is true which i doubt, then rest assured you will learn your lesson the hard way. They no dey tell man! However, To my fellow young buddies out there. DO NOT TREAD THIS PATH!

Pierocash:
Things aren't actually expensive in Nigeria compared to other advanced countries. It is the purchasing power that differs.


There are people in Nigeria who earn over $10k dollars a month. If such people travel out of Nigeria to the USA,he will come back to tell you that cost of living in Nigeria is way too cheaper compared to the US.


I will rather earn $1k a month in Nigeria,than to earn $3k-$5k in America

These people earning $10k a month, how many they sef? A generous estimate would be 0.01%. Just so you know nearly half of Nigerian workers earn less than the minimum wage.

Very high but not the highest in the world. Data in Nigeria is expensive with the cheapest being 1GB= 200. In India a telcom called Jio gives around 100GB for $10.

TMTR:
yeah right but I did it , though it wasn't easy
Sometimes though the orphanage pays us a visit to check up on her and they can testify that she is doing great.

Put her in the best school I can find in my state, the school that she attends is also being attented by children and relatives of politicians in my state of residence , trust me she is living the life of a princess

The orphanage are now the ones telling me to adopt more but I am like nah for now maybe later in the future

So no stress

it is not all rosy as you are trying hard to portray here. You story is very odd to say the least - a 25yr old adopting a female child promts lots of questions. Or is this some cock and bull crap?

PeaceJoyLove:
What baffles me is most Nigerians do not see scamming and looting as any offence, but as being smart. This worries me so much. But when the scammers become victims, they go to any length even as far as assassinating those who scammed them. This worries me sp much. Really, I dont see any hope in this present generation. Only God and urgent attention and continuous education, most esp providing jobs for youths can fix this situation.

It has nothing to do with this generation, the rot has been there a while since the 80s

On two occasions: i was helped by strangers i barely know, at a point i never expected - though the sums may appear little but it had profound impact on me, in fact, it change my perspective about how i view people,particularly strangers. I may never see her again, even if i do, i won't recongnise her because it's been long. Wherever you are may you never lack.

Mmadu2:
Man its great you mentioned this. I was beginning to loose hope in human beings

Don't! There are lots of very kind-hearted people out there, i hope you meet one someday.

TMKsouth:
@bolded - what do u call Nigerian drug dealing and sex trafficking in SA? Is it not disrespectful and audacious?

Regarding us being banned, that would show you are not up to being challenged for posting ridiculous and offensive statements about black South Africans (and never whites). If u gonna post controversial things expect a backlash dude, no one is gonna sit on their hands while they are being bashed. Have a thicker skin.

what you call "controversial things" are factual facts and figures sourced from reputable sources which obviously you and your compatriot find very uncomfortable and disturbing,typical nationalism. Whats more, Reality dose'nt care about your emotions. And also, do you know how many accounts are suspended on Twitter and Facebook monthly on average due to toxic behaviour? It has nothing to do with thick-skin or whatever but more to do with common sense. The distinction is abundantly clear.

ces45:
Let there be 3g first na

You are damn right! What telcos give us as 4g is actually 3g.

I can't understand why this so-called rich guy is paying his workers below the minimum wage. An adult paid 15k is too meagre to even cover their basics, in fact, this is modern slavery.

rahztafari:
Away from relationship gbas gbos. This is cool

The only part that I missed is d guys age. 13 by mid-90s should be above 40 by now. Not sure. So, 1.3milla at that age is nice

It is generally a feel-good tale that may be cooked up but without doubt, it is inspiring. So much insight too.


I am not surprised that there is little traffic or response here. No be gossip and no be banter wey una dey like. But yall will cry to seun that na Tonto and BBN full front page.

Oya take vibe, you say no. But you are quick to comment on gossip threads that mods are not trying.

Naija and their president be like wetin sef...

I estimate he should be around 39,40,41. Nonetheless, it was an intresting read. By the way, could anybody tell me why this guy pay his workers below the minimum wage?

rottenPussy:
He wants his kids to JAPA

Who no like better thing?

Let me be clear about this; if any of you lots detest Nigerians this much, then i suggest you deactivate your accounts and never visit this forum ever, and i promise you no one is gonna miss you,in fact, good riddance! That you lots unabashedly disparage and denigrate Nigerians at will on this forum time and time again without any iota of remorse shows the kind of people you lots are in reallife,it truly reflect your personalities.Nonetheless, i still belive most South Africans are good People, and trouble makers like you lots are an inconsequential tiny minority,every country suffers from these disease. Ironically, no Nigerian will attempt such display of disrespect towards South Africans in SA forum, yet here they are. The boldness and audacity is startling! Finally, i implore on the moderators of this section - Justwise and Disguy to suspend indefinately the accounts of Irongalaxy and TMKsouth due to their toxicity on this forum.
