G just having a mental breakdown. Pop some meds. Elections in Nigeria has been shitty since time immemorial. I didn't expect anything better anyway. People just getting emotional over what was supposed to happen.

In this Nigeria, every ethnic group is a tribalist. Enough of pointing accusing fingers at Yorubas.

Nigerians are sensitive regarding political leadership; we have been through an ugly spate of Slavery and colonialism. The last things we want are foreigners involved in our political decision overtly - I believe it subconsciously. The average Nigerian doesn't care about economic hardship as long it is people of the same tribe or ethnic group meting it out to them.
We have lots of Indians, Chinese, Lebanese, and Caucasians that have lived in Nigeria for a long and contributed to the Nigerian economy. They are wise no get involved. Rather, they are stuck with economic control.
The older generation( baby boomers) are not woke when voting. Most of them grew up during British Imperialism; they have first-hand experience with how foreigners stifle their growth. Also, some lived with their grandparents who were victims of enslaved persons that returned to Nigeria; I am sure the story told won't be pleasing.

After tax and bills you save about 300pounds.

After 5 years get UK permanent residence and 1 year a British passport. I see Nigerian that recently moved to the UK that complains as dumb. The focus is to work hard, save money and get the pali. That should be the motivation.

There's to a more ration in the UK. Don't be hard on APC.

West will always whine. Seem they are scared of Chinese control of African resources. Tinubu has been doing business will Chinese govt over 30 years and with Buhari APC, Nigeria got indebted through the Chinese loan. Seems BAT will advance Chinese exploitation.
With Obi the west might have easy access to exploitation. Hence obi getting an endorsement from Westen puppies. In Obj, IBB( IMF) and Iweala.

Eriokanmi:
That's my worry right now...my Turkish partner chatted me tuday and said...but I learnt your incoming president once dealt drugs. I couldn't just defend this man cos the evidence is in the public domain for anyone to dig. He nw said, what would this portray your country in the comity of nations? I thought you guys were learned enough to do it right.

Check the number of World leaders who had poured in their congratulatory messages so far. From there alone, every sane being would know Nigeria is on a long tin, in the usual saying.

The Kennedy family are the biggest drug dealers, yet they produced the finest president ever in America from the wealth they made from drug dealing. Bush's grandfather made dealing with the Nazis. That didn't stop America from being at an economic advantage among 'comity of nations'. Every sensible knows Obi can not win that election; I wonder how he was able to delude folks like you!

It beat my imagination why Igbos are hating on Tinubus winning. BAT as a president will leads to massive foreign direct investment to Lagos. Of which, sme business people ( majorly igbo) will benefit from.

coolplanet:
By snatching ballot boxes in most of the units in Lagos. Are you playing

In the South East voters were coerced and assaulted if they don't labour party. Hence LP having huge numbers.

Comparative Analysis of Tinubu, Atiku and Obi's performance in their respective polling units:

Tinubu's polling unit
APC - 33 - 77%
PDP - 1 - 02%
LP - 8 - 19%

Atiku's polling unit
APC - 57 - 16%
PDP - 282 - 82%
LP - 6 - 1.7%
NNPN - 1 - 0.3%

Obi's polling unit
APC - 0 - 0%
PDP - 0 - 0%
LP - 236 - 98%
NNPP - 2 - 0.008%
APGA - 3 - 0.012%

Tinubu's performance is lowest while Obi's performance is highest.

Anambra and Adamawa are homogeneous society hence that huge percent. BAT did well despite Lagos being a cosmopolitan

0jgti7gko08yhfe:
SW ranks the lowest...

Most have left Nigeria.

tamdun:
What about the Yoruba man that own an airport ?

He's a British. That's his heritage is yoruba doesn't make him one.

tamdun:
Arabs own a lot of buildings/business in UK

Not owing seaport. At the end your country will be a dumping ground for Chinese and Indian finished products. We will never attain manufacturing status.

gasparpisciotta:
Who is behind Tolaram?

The makers of indomie...

If FGN through NPA owns 5% only, this again has confirmed again that the handlers of our National treasury do not know how to negotiate.

Chinese and Indian ownership.
Nigerians don't control the wealth and resources in our land.

Tolzeal:
To the best of knowledge a student can’t on credit payments the first 1-3 months or even more . I picked the iPhone 14 pro at the apples store couple of months back , My first option was to use the credit approach but was later told I need to must have been in the UK for 3 years.

Other companies / ISPs might accept you but there are chances of high APR . Which on a long run no economical for such liability.

My APR is 0% using a Telecom. Only the sim contract will increase with Bank of England interest rate. I got it two months in the UK. Although, I am a senior level professional.

henro757:
then get into debt? long term?

It's 0%APR paid in 48 months, 41GBp per month. Payment for the sim is the same as buying data and a call plan.

Margs:
Hello everyone! Quick one please
Are iPhones easier to get in the UK?
Or should I buy a second phone here before I travel?

When you get your credit card, buy an Iphone with contract. It helps boost your credit score.

Thegamingorca:
Buy usdt where ?

Binance

JaySterling:
Guys please advise me! This is urgent

I am coming to the UK in a few weeks

I have some dollars in cash. Please can I change them to pounds in the UK, or I should just change them here in Nigeria before I travel ?

Please which one would be better for me in terms of rate ?

With your UK visa and Lebara sim, open a Revolut account. Revolut gives the option to activate your Virtual debit card. With that; you can add it to your google pay and transact online and NFC.
Convert your FX to Naira and buy USDT from your naira account . With your USDT; sell it into your Revolut account. Cash transaction is uncommon in the UK.

Mrkumareze:
very soon, Nigeria will turn to Philippines where almost all their women are separated or divorced .

Socialisation is the father of all this sh*t, we left our culture for a white man's own, now we couldn't even manage homes .. out forefathers married more than 5, they all lived happily.
The earlier we come back to our culture, the better for us..

For real? I thought Asians are family oriented.

I am happy comedian's marriages are crashing like a pack of cards.
Comedians broke shame men; stating you want to have a beautiful woman have money. Now, The money can't keep their beautiful wife.
What they fail to note is looking for a woman with basic human values is what's important. Cos life is a journey. .
Comedy gigs are not longer coming; the table has turned( now broke dudes) . Hahaha.

DeepThroater:
Idiot

But the women opening legs for you are more useless

No cuss.
Nick is a handsome black man with physical features, probably with high intelligence and no familial diseases. He's more of a sperm donor to those women than a hit.
Some women want kids and for the kids to know their fathers as against going to a random sperm bank.

Jack500:
This is a lie, yorubas in US and UK greatly outnumber igbos.

Their is an evidence and stop relying on hearsay

Don't mind the guy. If it's not chest-beating, it's doing everything to undermine Yoruba's achievements.
Asake (a typical yoruba musician ) show in London that was marred by a large crowd. Who do you think attends a concert like that? A caucasian or Jamaican that doesn't understand Yoruba. The success of Yoruba musicians is as a result of yorubas in Diaspora that still consume home tunes.

ganisucks:
And one clown here was saying that Tinubu has green card. Who dash parrot biscuit. How would he have had green card when he was supposedly chased out of America for engaging in shady activities.

For political holder Nigeria law don't allow dual citizenship, I think permanent residency too.

Dreal1247:
The painful part of the story is that the people who are increasing the fees are mostly ones who acquired their education through scholarship.

Fed uni need to increase tuition. Long over due. Those student protesting are using expensive phone, going to trips, and other luxurious life. When it comes to paying increments, they go about protesting.

Emilokan1:
Wike just doesn't know when to stop. In his quest for revenge,he keeps gathering enemies along the way. He should remember he's going to be powerless soon. He's crossing boundaries even angels keep at distance. He should thread carefully.

You know nothing about power play. In 48 laws of power - Law 15: Crush your enemy totally.

hisgrace090:
One by one we will know the real igbo haters though they're all igbos too.

Sanwo olu is working day and night to make Tinubu president while igbo leaders are looking for the candidate that will pay them more for bribe before support.

Gibberish as usual from Obidient. Well, I don't expect anything sensible from your ilks anyway.
Fayose( ekiti) and Makinde( oyo) are yorubas in the PDP; both are working against Tinubu despite the fact they Are the son of the soil. Sanwo Olu is BAT's, right-hand man. Anyone not supporting Obi is not an Igbo hater.

Thegamingorca:
Please I will be arriving Heathrow on Wednesday. Can anyone please advice how to convert dollars to a prepaid card at the airport, with which one can atleast pay for public transportation and feeding before getting to my final destination in Manchester.

Or what do you guys advise?

I know I will need a place of residence before I can open bank account and get a bank card. But how do I survive the first few days without a bank card

Since you already have a visa, u can open a revolut bank account. Just use your school or place of work as the address.

Birthday SMS from bank is not free. Rather ask for a cake.

ZombieSlayer1:
Same South East that voted massively for Obasanjo? You see how you've succeeded in displaying how clannish you are? You're looking only to vote based on tribe and not competence. People like you are the reason this country isn't developing and we won't give you and your kind chance to drag us back again.
Obi is your next president. If you don't like it, go and join your brothers as a refugee in Benin Republic

Obj wasn't SW's choice. He lost in his hometown in all elections. Talking about competence, what's competent about Mazi Obi? an individual that is part of the establishment ( a corrupt businessman and Nigerian politician) responsible for the poverty growth.

Why can't Obi mock Atiku? Atiku has been running for president since 1992. He changed parties to actualize his ambition. This is Tinubu's first trial.

Obi is working for Atiku to dilute Southern votes. It's evidence that Obi and Atiku are businesses.
How does a known trader succeed without the help of a customs officer?
We have seen South East again trying to scuttle Yoruba chances in national politics. Happens in—the 50s, 60s, 70, 80s, 90s, and now 2023.
