Family / Re: Getting Married And Living In Your Parents House. What Is Wrong About It by Maobichek: 7:38am On Jan 26
Ahmed0336:
There's nothing wrong with it but I WILL NEVER TRY THAT OR ALLOW MY CHILDREN TRY THAT NONSENSE WITH ME.

It depends ok! When my elder brother got married, Papa asked him the essence of paying for an apartment when we have a two-story building, he was giving a flat in the house, no interference, no disturbance of any kind. So i said again, it depends ok!

Politics / Re: Obi Criticized Abuja Airport's Escalator, And It Got Closed For Maintenance. by Maobichek: 7:30am On Jan 26
Sangoamadioha1:




Peter Obi did not influence anything. On a norm, that escalator, that leads to the boarding gate, breaks down frequently and you will always see that sign after some few hours. So na normal thing for Abuja Airport (domestic wing).

Good morning, which one is "...normal thing?" I used that airport four times last year going to Maiduguri and kano so it's not "a normal thing" as you asserted.

Nigeria will be better when we start thinking the way we should. Cape town airport is far more better compare to Abj airport (our capital).

Politics / Re: Relocation Of FAAN, CBN: Move the Commerce Ministry To Onitsha Or Kano - Dalhatu by Maobichek: 12:08pm On Jan 23
spiSeyi:
What is the IGR of Onitsha compared to Zaria, Ikeja, or even Ibadan What a joke "The Ministry of Commerce should be moved to where they sit at home on Monday (business day) " !gbos like to attach too much emotion to everything undecided . The Ministry should be moved to Ikeja or Zaria, the bitter truth is that SE as a region contributes a very minute percentage to the Nigeria's GDP.

Good morning, this remains opinion of the chairman board of trustees, Arewa. He only used Onitsha to hide his sentiment and parochial view about FAAN going back to Lagos.

Choosing to close your eyes to the obvious and pour your hate on Igbos because a Northerner mention Igbo city in his assertion is absurd and shows high level of hatred/tribalism and bitterness.

Address the issue he raised and him as a person and not Igbos, thank you.

Really? Is Kwankwaso the governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf? I hope they will not start clashing if the governor refused, which I strongly believes. The Governor by now must have his own followers, and their fighting when it starts, it will be a plus to Ganduje, who knows Abba Kabir Yusuf might decamp to APC, because his victory at the supreme court was political. Where was Kwankwaso when Gov Abba Kabir Yusuf was fighting to save his seat, Kwankwaso was silent for almost 3months, where was Kwankwaso when Abba Kabir Yusuf led the Vice president and other APC entourage by giving them a tour of the new Kano state government lodge, where was Kwankwaso when Abba Kabir Yusuf an opposition NNPP governor paid a visit President Bola Tinubu, the Jagaban Borgu, the Eze 1 of Igbo land, paid him a visit in his famous Ikoyi Boudilon residence?

"Abba Kabir Yusuf have his own followers..."

Please when last did you visit Kano state?

Where you in Abuja the day Supreme court declared Abba Kabir Yusuf the winner?

PBAT is very very wise and even more wiser than most of his hard-core supporters both on and off social media.

I will stop here for now, please ask questions about Kano state before saying some things about the state ok, thank you.

What's your definition of make it...?

Gone are those days when people travel abroad and in no time, they will start sending money and building houses...

Living in a society where you have all the basic amenities, but about 75% of your money go for bills...when comparing, compare the 25% with what people earn in Nigeria...in business, it is called take home...

Someone who earns 2000 dollars every month abroad and pays bills of 75% is equal to someone who earns N500, 000 in Nigeria... because if that person removes the 75%, he will be left with $500 as take home.

Before you argue with me, rent in abroad is paid on monthly basis and it can be between $750 to $2000 for most of our Japa brethren

Good day, i want to ask you a question, how many people are earning 500k here as you opined?

I have a relative who pays 800 Pounds on monthly basis as rent after other bills but the same person also send 1.5/1.7 million Naira every month for his building project here.

You know that there holiday today and tomorrow in the UK but someone told me yesterday that she will make x5 of her earning in 2 days just because she will work today and tomorrow.

If anyone has any genuine opportunity, let the person travel ok; most of our politicians have houses there and are training their children there.

Let me burst your brain, a master degree holder here is not equal to a high school leaver in the UK. Some of us here have friends/relatives over there and we know what is on the ground.

Finally, is there any footballer playing here that is as rich as a LGA chairman? But footballers overthere are richer than politicians. Please don't blame the masses for brain drain in Nigeria, Government officials should be blame, thank you.

Most current government officials and former government officials (presidents, governors, Senators etc) all have houses in the Western world. Most of our known clergy men have homes in the Western world also but the poor masses should remain here and continue suffering what those leading/ruling us caused.

Anyone who see a genuine opportunity to travel should do so and will be happy that he/she did.

Enugu was a city in Anambra state in fact Enugu was the capital of old Anambra state , until more states were created by the military government. Anambra is the mother-state of Enugu state, same way Ebonyi state was created from Enugu state . You people are brothers and flavour was born and breed in Achaea Layout Enugu.
You kids should be asking your parents questions before coming online to spread hateful opinions..

I'm not in support of what he/she said but you saying: "...before coming online." Enugu was there before Anambra was created also, Ebonyi state was caved out from Abia state and not from Enugu, thank you and Merry Christmas in advance.

Career / Re: Japa: From Bank Manager To Skyscraper Cleaner by Maobichek: 4:23pm On Dec 16, 2023
santaclaws:


I doubt the authenticity of that story. Most of these stories are fabricated. A former bank manager in Nigeria can easily get a management or accounting job anywhere in the world.

Not what you think ok! If he travelled via study(student) visa, he will only work for 20 hours every week and at such, he will only get a managerial/accounting job when he is done with his studies.

NB: anyone working as a window cleaner over there earns more than a bank manager here(this is confirmed). Minimum wage per hour in the UK is 10 Pounds and no such a risky worker will earn 10 pounds per hour.

Good and Great move. Wike and his assembly members should go to hell.

There is absolutely no reason why former governor should boss over current governor. His mandate as executive governor expired on 29th may.

God fatherism is antithetic to democracy and must be resisted. Why should one man think himself to be bigger than the entire electorate that gave their mandate to SIm?

It defies the resources of logic and tenets of democracy to continue turn a sitting governor to a mere remote control.

If it has become a norm in South west, South South should resist such anti-democratic tactics. It's anti-democratic! Wike was never on the 2023 ballot!

This is democracy! We are not practicing monarchy and plutocracy.


"Democracy" you said! I hope Sim will survive Supreme court onslaught because wike will go to any length and Supreme court is the last resort; let's wait and see how it goes.

psalmsjob:


You guys focus on the money earned but not on what the money earned can purchase....the purchasing power of the money. See another analysis for you to stop Lmao grin

If our bobo londoner works for the standard 8 hours per day and earning £10 per hour and he works for 5 days a week; he would have earned = £10 x 8 hours = £80/ day x 5 days/week = £400/week x 4 weeks = £1,600 per month. With this earning bobo londoner is taking nothing home at month end and cannot afford to buy that kind of £10 food every day if he does he might be in debt see why:

Now for bobo pays average of £1,480 for house rent monthly and pays average of £140 for transportation to work. That's £1,480 + £140 = £1,600 per month ONLYgrin. If bobo londoner tries to buy his £10 food everyday as man must wak that's £10 x 30 days = £300 per month.

Therefore, bobo londoner must werk grin on Saturdays to survive that's £80 x 6 days × 4 weeks = £1,920 - £1,480 - £140 - £300 = £0.00 per month grin

So Bobo Londoner must werk grin on Sundays to have £80 at every month end grin

Workers in Nigeria do not work on Saturdays and Sundays before you start your comparison again grin


Good evening, i encourage you to ask questions before coming online with exaggerated figures. I have family members and friends at UK, rent for two bedroom flat at Cardiff was paid at 800 pounds last month (some people pay even lesser, these are houses that are well furnished).

At Sunderland, a friend pays 900 Pounds per month for a well furnished apartment. Someone i know made 6M+ a month and remits 1.5M every month for his building project here. UK is better if your paper is genuine and you are working. Students work only 20 hours every week but if you are not a student, you can work as your strength can carry you, thank you.

You Abia is doing well in terms of productivity, but you left because of the unemployment situation, but employment generates productivity, being productive means people are working and productive.

To tell you the truth Abia to me really should be the most economically vibrant state in the SE, but that's up to the leadership, they need to do more.

Good evening, i didn't say that i left because of unemployment, i was at PHC, Aba and now Abj. I wasn't idle. Many people left their region for Abj because of jobs. The head of my department is from Kwara, ppl from different states work here and we are good, thank you.

plaindealer:



IGR and other economic templates are a reflection of productivity, strong commerce and vibrant sales of goods and services and also, leadership qualities.

Maybe Abia is generating a lot in terms of IGR, but if that's the case, shouldn't the question be why is Abia not reporting IGR? Why?

What are they hiding? What's the administrative strategy?

Not disclosing IGR which is income is suspect, it's a loophole for looting and other forms of financial shenanigans.

When income is low, it's either productivity is poor, economic output is bad or the leadership is lazy, not creative, not collecting taxes and cannot expand the tax base.

This is why for so many decades SE people always abandoned the SE for survival and opportunities elsewhere, you simply cannot survive in an unproductive environment especially with all the able men and women leaving every day.

When we talk about productivity, Abia is doing exceptionally well. Employment is the reason why i left Abia; in the space of six (6) months (March-August), i gave my tailor over seven (7) numbers of people who saw my clothes and requested for the number of my tailor.

I traveled to Kano and saw female gown/blouse made in Aba and i was not surpise because i know that Aba is the hub when you talk about fashion and designer.

Leadership is the sole problem why people are leaving but that being said, government in Abia is taxing people heavily but still not declaring what they generate.

Typical meaningless and rubbish nonsense.

Do you even know the meaning of the irrelevant nonsense you posted?

Good morning, i will tell you the truth in all fairness; some things in this country are skewed, internally generated revenue by states included.

I don't know about other states but Abia state don't declare what she gets to the federating account, there is money in Abia state.

Let me give you example, Banks in Nigeria are highly profit making establishment and not charitable at all; First bank PLC have 17 branches in Abia state but 10 branches in Ogun state. First bank and other banks are not foolish establishing branches in Aba despite the "sit at home" wahala. If you have a friend/relative working in First bank PLC, ask him or her the target of FBN Abia state and other states.

I'm not downplaying this thread but both the state and federal government knows that Abia state is not declaring what she generates internally at the federal level, thank you.

Family / Re: Court Marriage Without Paying Bride Price by Maobichek: 5:43pm On Nov 20, 2023
SUPERPACK:
Yes, you are legally married. Court marriage don't require bride price nor consent from family members.

But for the sake of peace and avoidance of future wahala pls pay the bride price before going ahead with the court marriage or even after.

I don't know where you are from but here in igboland they don't joke with bride price, it is important and will be talked about for ages. Your children could be regarded as outcast to the extended family too.

But if you get a very understanding family that agree to court marriage only then no issue as they have the right to wave it or make it very affordable even down to just #50 so you will have no issues.

My community here in Enugu will most times say bring #100,000 and when it is presented they will take only one note from the whole money and return the rest to the groom's family. They will tell you that there daughter is not for sale and if maltreated they will take her back.

If the family insist on bride price please do not force your way through with the court marriage as it could be risky, the tussle is not worth it.

Good evening, you are entitle to your own opinion but i must tell you the "WHOLE" truth, bride price is important and is a must before you would be called a "married person."

The court will request for signatories from both the man and the woman's family, they will be witness and also attest that both family gave their consent.

It's highly inappropriate to proceed to court for marriage when the lady's family have not been settled, thank you.

Good morning, it's important to disburse your mind from such a generalization, please stop it.

I know about 6 or more families where the wives earn more than the husband's and these women don't make noise about it. Our head in the office is a woman and you won't see her abuse or talk bad about her husband.

Some Churches like RCCG, Deeper Life, Mountain of Fire etc have a way of modelling their women in such a way that you may not even know who the breadwinner in the house is.

Lastly, no married woman can stay without sex, it's either she is getting it from her husband or elsewhere but generalizing that all well-to-do women deny their husbands sex is a lie, thank you.
