This should not be a debate...Go to PortHarCourt and save massively...You can even end up buying a land on installment in Lagos or save enough to JAPA lol

Queengee:
Currently lives and work a 250k monthly Job in Lagos, recently I got an offer for a 500k job in portHarcourt so am still contemplating whether to accept the offer or not. I heard portHarcourt is very expensive compare to Lagos, so I don't want to make wrong decision.

From small research - It could be many things. Pulmonary edema, myocardial infarction, seizure-related, some respiratory diseases and some drugs can cause it.

I was thinking maybe drugs, but based on the article, it does not seem like someone would go into his car to use drugs...so it must be myocardial and I think he went to his car to relax when he started feeling it instead of calling the wife that they should go straight to the emergency. One of our association members was feeling light headed...called her friend, and they went straight to the hospital...she collapsed there and woke up 3 days later from the coma. She is still recovering in rehab. Please when you start feeling funky, don't play God...go to the doctor.

He who finds a good wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. If she keeps away from bad friends and families, y'all will be good. The serpent always comes to deceive, and it is usually those close to us.

Demichaels:
In LOVE'S radiant embrace, our souls entwine,
Yearning for the sanctuary of an IDEAL Home divine.
Like the PETALS of a graceful autumn bloom,
We flourish, entwined in affection's sweet perfume.
Pledged to each other ere our fateful meet,
No bond can rival the love we replete.
We are REKELS, crafting dreams in PETALS' HOME,
Creating a haven where love finds its grace. SEALED By the TRINITY

Mods do your thing

She is not the one selling the clothes, lol...She is posting for the person selling and gaining some funds. She might make less than N10k per month, but that will cover some expenses ...in addition to her salary. As I said, hubby also works and makes good money and is still into real estate...one deal she told me netted him N500k. There are tons of landlords who need great agents..lots of people who need someone to supervise their properties...you need to create value, be trustworthy, and be diligent, and the side hustle can become the main hustle. I started tutoring right after secondary school...i even volunteered at the church to help students for free, and 2 parents hired me..I was 16-17 years old. I am over 40 now, and I still tutor online beyond where I live. One can keep complaining...or find a niche and key into it... the choice is YOURS.

Kukutente23:
Someone who sells clothes online is not something I see as a side hustle in today's Nigeria. Almost all ladies I know have one thing or the other they are selling online.
Besides, I can almost bet she can't boast of 20k every month from selling clothes online especially the way you described.

He is PDP...what do you expect Lol? Its crazy how PDP is playing saint. We are yet to recover all our stolen assets from many years ago.

Thank you and she is always available to supervise my properties too when undergoing renovation because I buy and flip. Well I used to ...slowing down now...cos she think it needs to be manageable...and I agree. Buy, Flip, Rent...get passive income.

Almaiga:
Your mom is a great Woman

You are missing the point. Your side hustle does not need to be rice. You are on NairaLand...Do you know what you can achieve on here alone or with your phone? My point is...you can sit and complain or have initiatives that can impact your life. I know a friend...all she does is post clothes for other people using the same data that will be wasted by others. If the dress is N5000, she can list it for N6,000 and when bought, she will pick up and ship to Lagos or Abuja as the case may be. She makes a good income on that in addition to her salary...when it was time to buy a car, she did it by herself...and supports the husband by buying provisions for the kids and all. They just moved into their own house. Husband too sells land on the side...his trustworthiness has allowed him to pocket hundreds of thousands of Naira in agency fees. Same country...different mindsets.

Kukutente23:
What you're describing is side hustle. Inability to afford basic commodities and having to work extra hours to afford them is hardly something to brag about.
Let us look at rice that the op is talking about. It takes 3 months at the very least to plant and grow rice successfully after which you have harvest, then tresh before you now remove the husk and then de-stone before you polish. Does all that activity sound like something an individual can do as a side hustle?
Ask the Op how much NPK is sold and the special herbicide used for rice of different varieties. That's not too mention watching out for ammonia formulation.
All what I'm pointing out is that it is not a productive thing when someone who works normal hours can't afford basic commodities and has to go into more strenuous activities to make ends meet

I wrote about this before. You need 3 things before you japa...age is not really one of them.

1. You need a Brain...You have to be smart, have initiative, be willing to adjust, return to school, take additional training and be willing to allow time to grow into where you want to be. If you are dumb, please save yourself the trouble...the odd jobs will frustrate you and age you faster.

2. You need a good heart...If you are already sick or dealing with some ailments, you should rethink because the kind of jobs you will do initially will stress you a lot. You might not be on insurance and you definitely dont want to rely on Emergency. If you are out of a job due to illness, you might not be paid...which is why people work till they drop dead. Think twice

3. Support ...If you have a good family or funds to support yourself or people it will also help you. If you marriage is not strong, it will be gone. Once the support is gone and you cant support yourself...then the body will go with it mentally and physically...and then your heart or vice versa.

Usefulsense:
Last year, I sought the opinion of Nairalanders concerning my plan to move to Australia.
My major worry was my age (48) and also considering that my net salary in Nigeria was a little over a million Naira per month as the financial controller of a manufacturing company in Onitsha.

Below is the link to the thread I opened to seek peoples advice and I recommend that you go through the thread to fully appreciate
the story that follows.

[url=https://www.nairaland.com/7825207/japa-confused-please-advise][/url]. I promised to tell my story after 3 months of my stay in Australia.

I finally left Nigeria on December 7th, 2023 and arrived the country on December 9th with my children. Today, I am exactly 3 months, 2 weeks and 6 days old in Sydney, australia.

This is not a hearsay, it is not an eye witness account, it is my story.

This is intended to guide people who maybe planning to travel outside Nigeria. Should you migrate at an age over 45 or not?

Those who told me not to go are right and those who told me to travel are also right.

Given another opportunity, will I take the decision to move out of Nigeria at 48? Have I made a mistake? How am I surviving?

You will find out in this thread.

To be continued shortly .........

ogun State. I will send you a mail right away.

Where in Ogun State? Be specific...we have a coordinator that can work with you. She is in Abeokuta. We also want to expand into IJEBU, and we are in conversation with Isara and Ijebu Sopen, so we can lease lands and massively plant cassava and create garri processing centers to crash the price. The plan is not to make profit. We make too much profits in Nigeria...that is why redistribution of wealth is massive and the rich are buying Ferrari, Lambo, Range Rover ...multiple vehicles while the poor are getting poorer. We need better taxation or more NGOs and low cost food available for the poor. Lagos subsidized food market is a commendable initiative...increase the taxes on the Rich and subsidize the Poor.

Villa12:
ogun State. I will send you a mail right away.

US has stringent regulations that forbid all these stuff...now if you ask me how many Nigerians drive Uber or even Americans generally or even go grocery shopping for others...its a lot. Every country is Unique, but your solutions are around you. During pandemic, I saw that warehouse needed people...I signed up even though I have my regular work...4yrs plus, I still do that as a side gig. You can make excuses or change the narrative, the choice is YOURS. In the US or Nigeria, Politicians do not give a shit about you personally...they look at the world from a general point of view.

Kukutente23:
So how many people in the US rear chickens and farm cassava in their backyard?

Email me at idagbaempowermentfoundation@gmail.com....If you can submit proof, and it is verifiable...the Foundation will help you to jumpstart at the minimum. If you demonstrate diligence, then we can talk about expansion. Which state are you located at?

Villa12:
Oya help me, i want to plant maize and cassava. I have some pieces of land but no money to get maize and cassava stick. I will also get one person to support me on the farm and pay him.

He is PDP...he was just trying to put out a stupid narrative. He should talk if he has anything to say. He got N1billion for his constituent...he should return the money too while we are at it.

fergie001:

These are some of the things we used to do that allowed people to be irresponsible, having kids they cannot raise because kids come with what will take care of them. We believe stupid stuff, and place the responsibility on others. Everyone has a good excuse now to say NO...hopefully before people have kids, they will think twice...some wont though.

My Mom raises chicken too...she is over 70yrs old. She said when people were complaining that chicken was N15k...she just killed two and cooked. She lives alone, and she is as hardworking as any young person. She even planted cassava in the backyard, and harvested it to make both garri and pap. The problem with initiative is...some people have it, some don't. The only thing some people are great at...is complaining and blaming everyone else. Your solution is AROUND you. Mind you, my Mom does not need to do all these...I don't even want her to do all these, but if i give her funds, she would rather bless others. I also do my best to help those that can't help themselves like orphans. It is a new week...make up your mind to change your own life. The Govt would not do it for you.

Interesting...

My aunt does that too until she moved to London

She doesn't buy meat too, she has a lot of local chicken, goats and sheep

Keep in mind it's direct flight and getting in and out of Gatwick is easier so you will be in London before most airlines fly into Heathrow unless you take British or direct which will be 3 or 4 times the cost of AirPeace

chopnaira:
If Nigerians patronizes the earlier very well, it would help the naira increase in value. Congrats to AirPeace and Nigeria.


Although it's London Gatwick but it will still be much cheaper to just fly into Gatwick, book a train to London proper, or take an Uber if one is feeling funky.
Hopefully, the entrance of a new competitor with more affordable flight will also force the gangs of BA and Virgin Atlantic to reduce their fare cost.


Una don start again. APC gov helped him a lot, and he gave them credits. Na una wey nor get anything dey always run mouth the most.

Tell me you know nothing about people destroying people...people got together to do marches and protests against Erisco..you think the same people did not forward the news to CNN and NY Post? You do not know anything about Media and Destruction. May you never face coordinated destruction...the matter is in court. Whether Erisco is right or wrong, we shall find out. Right now, we need to stop piling us or trying to influence the court on this matter.

Looks like a well acted skit to me

NairaOcean:
A heated confrontation ensued as a man faced accusations of impregnating a young woman, only to vehemently deny any involvement in the pregnancy.

The man, who remains unnamed, found himself at the center of a tense situation when the mother of a young woman arrived unannounced at his doorstep. The mother, accompanied by her daughter carrying a bag of belongings, wasted no time in accusing the man of being the father of her daughter's unborn child.

In response, the man immediately denied the allegations, claiming he was not the only person the young woman had been involved with.

Even if they dont strike her off, she will have to report all these past issues to new employers ...and i doubt any reasonable employer will hire her unless they are nigerians too willing to underpay her to hire her...cos greed of our people exceed care for the public. This Nurse must realize that her actions placed all these employers in positions where they could have been sued for negligence for hiring someone not fit for the job. She has truly entered one chance, and the village people have followed her to UK to finish her. She is probably one of those that showed her husband shege for UK.

Great idea...they can also name the School of Music...Ayinde School of Music. Just donate massively and help them with fundraising. You can even make tuition free and bring the world to the school to learn different types of afro-music. Nigeria will be great again.

All of these still would not make him WIN. He should run however so the current leadership can continue to work hard in order to create Hope that people can believe in. Without opposition, Tinubu led administration can easily relax and stop working hard. On your mandate, we shall stand...the level of projects going on right now...I cannot wait for things to fall in place with Niger State leading the way on Agriculture.

divinehand2003:
Certainly! Let's address the GidGiddi's concerns and present a compelling case for why Peter Obi should indeed consider running for the office of the President of Nigeria in 2027. 🇳🇬

**Why Peter Obi Should Run for President in 2027: A Counterargument**

1. Turning Rigged Elections into a Battle for Integrity:
- While it's true that Nigerian elections have faced challenges, Peter Obi's candidacy can be a turning point. Rather than avoiding the race, he can champion electoral integrity.
- Imagine Obi as the candidate who refuses to accept rigged results, who mobilizes citizens to demand transparency, and who fights for electoral reforms. His courage could inspire change.

2. Navigating Complexity with Nuance:
- Yes, Nigeria is multifaceted—ethnic, religious, and ideological fault lines abound. But isn't that precisely why we need a leader like Obi?
- His nuanced understanding of Nigeria's diversity positions him to bridge gaps. He can emphasize shared values, promote dialogue, and build consensus. Obi's presidency could be a unifying force.

3. The Engine Needs a Skilled Driver:
- The analogy of Nigeria as a car with a knocked engine is apt. But consider this: a skilled driver can influence the engine's repair.
- Peter Obi's leadership isn't just about occupying an office; it's about fixing the engine. His track record suggests he can address corruption, improve governance, and prioritize development.

4. Legacy Beyond Philanthropy:
- Philanthropy is commendable, but the presidency offers a broader canvas. Obi's impact as President would extend far beyond individual lives.
- Imagine policies that uplift millions, transform education, and create an environment where philanthropy thrives. His legacy could be transformative.

5. A Beacon of Hope and Inspiration:
- Nigeria yearns for leaders who embody hope. Obi's journey—from a village near yours to international success—is inspiring.
- His presidency would signal that merit, competence, and integrity matter. Young Nigerians would see a path to leadership beyond the usual suspects.

6. The Courage to Challenge the Status Quo:
- Obi's refusal to accept a "cursed office" could be reframed. What if he enters that office not as a victim but as a disruptor?
- Imagine a President Obi who challenges norms, dismantles entrenched systems, and insists on accountability. His courage could redefine the presidency.

7. The Engine Can Be Overhauled:
- Yes, no Nigerian President has been perfect. But isn't that an opportunity? Obi can be the catalyst for systemic change.
- His administration could prioritize electoral reforms, strengthen institutions, and empower citizens. The engine may be knocked, but it's not irreparable.

8. Leadership Amidst Storms:
- Every leader faces storms—propaganda, sabotage, and ideological battles. But isn't that the crucible of leadership?
- Obi's resilience, strategic thinking, and ability to navigate adversity could be assets. He won't achieve everything, but progress is possible.

9. The Call to Duty:
- Sometimes leaders emerge not because they seek power, but because duty calls. Obi's duty—to Nigeria, to its people—could propel him.
- Imagine a President who wakes up each day driven by service, not ego. His humility could be transformative.

10. The Hope of a Better Nigeria:
- Ultimately, Peter Obi's decision isn't just personal; it's about Nigeria's future. We need leaders who dare to dream.
- So, let's encourage him. Let's tell him that despite the odds, despite the cynicism, he can be the change Nigeria craves.

In summary, Peter Obi's candidacy isn't just about him—it's about us, about Nigeria. Let's envision a presidency that defies conventions, repairs the engine, and sets a new course. 🇳🇬✨

Any religious leader that curse the nation is not of God. Even Jesus said...you have been told to hate your enemies, but you must love them. If you hate your enemies, how different are you to the unbelievers. So we have a lot of religious leaders that are no different than unbelievers. They just continue to fake it for their gullible followers, and gullible in a nice way because they just do not know.

NairaOcean:
President Tinubu, during a Ramadan Iftar gathering with traditional rulers and religious leaders at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, March 28, delivered a poignant message to Nigerians, urging them to refrain from cursing the nation and instead focus on changing bad leaders through the democratic process.

"The love of the nation is in your hands. Pray for our country. Educate our children. The sermons we preach to the members of our churches and mosques are important," President Tinubu expressed passionately.

In a call to action, Tinubu emphasized the power of the vote, stating, "Do not condemn your own nation. If a leader is bad, he should be voted out in the next election." Drawing on Yoruba wisdom, he added, "As a Yoruba man and as our fathers will say, ‘no matter how slippery the bottom of your child is, you must leave the beads there.’"

Police should work with community organizations...and also source funds from private entities, so they can incentivize folks to report and also use the private partnership funds to install CCTVs in communities for 24hr surveillance...then work with community forces like Amotekun for Rapid Responses. Nigerians generally are too scared to report and I do not blame them...trust is so low and there must be incentives all around.
