Christianity EtcRe: Ex-winners Chapel Pastor Quit Church After Unrealized Wealth Expectations by lomprico(m): 10:12am On Mar 18, 2025
Lol, Jesus said, "take up your cross and follow me".
99.9% of pastors today in Africa are not following Christ. They are doing Satan's bidding, that's why everything about them is centered on money/wealth.
Remember Jeses' 2nd temptation? Yeah, Satan plays same card once God calls you, unfortunately 99.99% of them fall for that particular temptation.

That's why prosperity gospel is very popular today more than true salvation.

PoliticsRe: Impeachment: Fubara Is Going Nowhere, Forget Wike, Lawmakers - Isaac Fayose by lomprico(m): 9:53am On Mar 18, 2025
The worst that will happen is that fubara will succumb and continue to give wike 80% of the State budget then loot and work with the remaining 20% or he will be removed and Amaewhule will become governor and do wikes biddings, which will not favour the state.
Bottom-line, it's a loose-loose situation for Rivers people. Unless fubara realises the magnitude of the power he weilds as an elected governor and fights like a man.

Amechi shut down the courts in rivers state till he left office (even as GEJ was in power), heaven did not fall.

You're still missing the point. Some people didn't go to university but got educated. Some people got PhD but didn't get educated.
Education is education, be it formal or informal.

If I'm a professor in nano technology or physics and I believe that one's destiny can be stolen by them sitting on a particular chair, then it's just my belief. It has nothing to do with the vast knowledge I have acquired in my field. And if I'm an illiterate that has never seen the 4walls of any school and I don't belive that if I bury egg in my compound, it will catch a thief, it's also my belief and mindset over things like that.

I got your point. What I'm adding to what you said is that lack of education is not the reason some people belive in such things.

NYSC has no such rules. That’s what I’m trying to let you know.

18.
Any member who addresses the press on any policy issue without the written consent of the State Coordinator shall be tried by the Camp Court and, if found guilty, be liable to extension of service for thirty (30) days on half pay.


This is the only rule in the NYSC rule book that is close to what you said and its punishment.

This rule is under code of conducts DURING ORIENTATION CAMP.

That lady obviously is not in the orientation camp as camps are closed, thus that rule does not bind her.

Second, the rule clearly says “policy issue” which can be likened to NYSC policy.
Abeg tag me when the shameless bigot responds to this your post. That's if he never ban me. grin

grin Unfortunately, the people being addressed here will not read this because, it's either they are too uneducated or too lazy to read.

Our poor education system is our biggest undoing. Imagine someone believing that going to a road junction to drop some dirty things would make them rich🤑. How many road junctions did Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg visit?
Lack of education is not responsible for this. Majority of those patronising or believing in such are well educated.

It's a thing of belief system or mindset.
TravelRe: Japa With ₦30M? Think Twice – A Realistic Breakdown Of Life Abroad by lomprico(m): 9:21am On Mar 17, 2025
fullclub:
The debate around relocating abroad (“Japa”) has intensified after media personality Dele Momodu claimed that anyone who spends ₦30 million to leave Nigeria is a fool. His statement sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing while others says that that 30 million is nothing compared to the financial reward that comes with japa

Having lived in the UK for some time now, I’ll share an honest perspective on the financial reality of life here, especially for those considering selling anything just for relocation.

Breaking Down Earnings in the UK

For context, I work an average of 36 hours per week (9 hours daily for 4 days), meaning in a month, I clock 144 hours of work.

Minimum wage in the UK is £11.44 per hour, and most employers are required to pay this, except in cases like apprenticeships.
144 hours × £11.44 = £1,647.36 per month
After tax deductions, which depend on factors like number of jobs and tax codes, my take-home pay is around £1,479.55.


Monthly Expenses in the UK
Here’s a breakdown of my fixed monthly costs:

House rent – £700
Gas & electricity – £120
Council tax – £110
Water bill – £43.46
Food – £200
Transport – £140
Phone bill – £52 (for two people

Total expenses: £1,365.46
Remaining balance: £114.09
Although i could have chosen to work up to 5 days which would have given me total income of 2059 and 1775 after tax but to give my partner a chance while i take turn to look after the kids

Note: food is extremely cheap and affordable unlike in Nigeria. That's why most that relocated after few months they look revived and fresh grin

Now, factor in additional responsibilities. We send £150 monthly to family back home in Nigeria. My wife, who works part-time (two days per week because of our baby as leaving the children will risk losing them to the governmen), earns about £732 per month, which we try to save, though unforeseen expenses (baby food, transport, etc.) often reduce our savings to around £500 per month.
Aside this we spent over 4000 pounds this year alone for health insurance. Yes its a must you pay it and funny enough i have not visited the hospital once since i arrived.

More worrisome is the endless billing from home , the billing from friends and extended family is out of this world, from your pastor who want tithe in pounds and thinks it's because of his or her prayer u went out, to your siblings, to your inlaws, to secondary schools friends, university's friends to even your street guys to Facebook friends. Those who will quickly open Opay account for their 3 years old child and forward you school fees or birthday bill. What about those who forwarded us their house rent bill to help clear their rent of over 500k embarassed abeg na

A lot of Nigeria said if they are offered 50 million and japa, they will prefer japa as they will earn more over when i read this comment on Facebook i just laugh hard as this is not the case as a research said that over 39% of UK residents have a minimum of 1000 pounds as savings this means that Despite earning in pounds, many struggle with high living costs, taxes, and bills but on the other hand In Nigeria, ₦50M can fund investments that generate steady income.
In the UK, unless you’re in a high-paying field, you will mostly live paycheck to paycheck


Comparing Life as a Single vs. Married Individual Abroad


Single individuals have a higher chance of saving since they have fewer responsibilities.

Married couples without kids can maximize their earnings by both working full-time while covering expenses from one salary and saving entirely the other salary.

Families with children face higher expenses, including childcare, health insurance, visa fees.

This is why adequate preparation is crucial before relocating, especially for families


Is Dele Momodu Right? Should You Japa with ₦30M?
We should understand that Dele Momodu is an elder and vastly traveled and he knows what is obtainable in Europe and America.
His point is valid if you look at finances alone because at the ene of the day almost all you make goes back to the system. But If insecurity concerns and food inflation in Nigeria didn’t exist, staying back with ₦30M would be a better financial decision as you could expand your business.

Another thought is the issue of owning a house. An average 3 bedroom house cost over 300k pounds and i have worked with colleagues who are in their late 50s struggling to work and pay off their mortgage so as to be free while me in my 30s own over 3 house back in Nigeria . Some pays mortgage for over 35 to 40 years but shockingly most they end up selling it at old age hand over this money to care homes to take care of them till death. Note children dont have any responsibility of taking care of their age parents they leave their lives while the parents uses proceed from their house to offset this bill

Final Thoughts: Should You Japa?

Japa is not a one-size-fits-all decision. If you have ₦30M and solid income streams in Nigeria, it might be wiser to invest and build wealth at home. But if safety and quality of life matter more, than wealth accumulation then relocating might still be the best option but must be done tactically especially when coming on student visa as one academic error could throw u off.

Bottom line: Japa is not a magic solution—it requires careful planning, a realistic mindset, and financial discipline.

Picture below is my phone bill

There other bills i chose to ignore like the tv bill. I didn't buy tv because i know that one will end in another billing
If life is tough for you over there, come back home.
Stop trying to discourage others from escaping from what you escaped.
I don't know why you people are like this. Mtcheww!
