lol and just like that you have become a conforming slave...you stay silent and they talk to you like they own you. You can take a stand and speak with confidence to defend your point. You should have said when I say it's okay, it means I've heard you. I come from a different culture and as much as I am willing to learn, you need to understand we will be different and that's okay too. You use it as a haha moment to educate them as well.

I fell into this trap twice telling a client "it's okay" which by my own reasoning meant "I have heard you, there isn't any problem. We should stop discussing it" but the client flared "It's not okay". It was a bit of a culture shock, me thinking I finally understand how to relate with the white folks. This days, I listen more and talk less. That way, I am quickly able to process what they're saying before stringing up a response.

if there is kidnapping, yes someone will be knocking on your day if you stay home and do nothing...and appear odd. Go to some communities here and police will follow you...dey play

Badadvisor:
You don't owe anybody any friendship.
No one can call the cops on you in western world if you go out regularly or not. You can stay in a neighborhood for years and never get to see your next door neighbors. Nigerians never mind their business and that's something everyone knows.

You tell them....women will put on wigs for months and only do simple hairstyles cos they don't even have time to sit for hours for braids. They will say we are forming, but we come home often and we know ...I am glad you have discovered them o.. my UK aunt advised me a long time ago...nothing you send is enough...focus on yourself...I am glad I listened. If you fall sick, they will make fun of you for not having much after staying abroad for so long. Wisdom is enough for the wise...some still insult us on here. We laugh and give thanks.

US-based Guinean lady reveals why she has stopped sending money to her family in Africa

According to her, she visted her home country eight years ago and discovered she has been funding the lavish lifestyle of her folks back home. She said she realised that her folks back home are living a luxurious life that she who works for the money does not live in the US.

Take a listen!!!

If they are gathering intelligence and people are telling them no one leaves that house...you think they shouldn't come and investigate...even FBI will investigate you for terrorism if money is coming in from outside of the country and you hardly leave your house. They won't wait till you blow things up..this is why it is important to relate with people around you, so they won't be suspecting you.

I know some of you don't read before you comment...I spoke about inflationary pressures everywhere...some argued that it is cheap to rent and money can go far..I gave him a breakdown of the average person here working minimum wage. I am not average...but mu situation is not the norm for everyone. So if you must japa, do but don't believe in false hope abroad either.

headboyprince:
so youre base in the U.S and you're here tellling people not to live nigeria. haha. the problem with you antijapa crew is hypocrisy. you ran to the west when nigeria still have some hope and now nigeria is hopeless you advice people not to leave by making the west look bad with all sort of bullshit like you're ranting here.

The economic situation is affecting reason. Show me where I told you not to Japa. It's too late to pray for my deportation. I will leave you with all the ailments that have befalled you. You have a blessed rest of your week.

headboyprince:
mtcheew, so what are you still doing in the west since all that glitters is shit. come back to Nigeria, the govt has made nigeria to become paradise. come and collect 30k per month job and be owed salaries. dont forget half of your salary will be used to transport yourself back and from back. come back to blackout, and insecurity. afterall rent isnt expensive here. with 5k per month you can rent a face me i face you. i pray you get deported soon.....Amen

Blame the marketers cos I'm sure they buy it less when prices drop. Even when BUA reduces cement prices, middle men sapped it up.

themanderon:
Abegi. What has ever come down in Nigeria after going up? When crude falls at the international market they tell you fuel cannot reduce because Nigeria is not making enough money from crude sales and when it rises they tell you they have to increase prices to reflect current market realities.
Don't fall for the pranks of these rogues in power.

IPMAN is always coming out with fuel prices will go up...why are they always always trying to project bad news? I look at the names, and you begin to wonder...What does that mean...import will drive up prices when prices are set at the international market, and crude produces many products...they can make money on some products and reduce prices on other products. That is a business decision, so why are they always trying to pre-empt Dangote Group. IPMAN keeps appearing like the enemy of the people.

Lol I am not sure you read the advert you posted. They are renting out rooms inside the HOUSE. Like I told you before, if you know, you know. I used to work in NJ and used to live in NYC. Watch THE INNOCENCE PROJECT among others...you will see those wrongly convicted that spent decades in jail. I am not upset at you...I know you dont know and I am glad you asked. There are folks placed on death sentences that were later found to be innocent...close to 200. The person said we will never know how many innocent people have been killed already.

headboyprince:
you're 10x more likely to die from insecurity in nigeria than you're to go to jail. do innocent people go to jail over there.? you're just trying to pull points from thin air. as if people dont go to jail in nigeria. your chances of going to jail in nigeria is way higher... like 500000% higher. you better accept it now that Nigeria has no future and its racing to the ground. and yes there ARE $500 houses in new jersey. so come up with another bullshit

Then park your car...everyone drives differently over different distances...its like asking how much we spend on electricity or data monthly...one person does not determine the other.

Dantepet5000:
I just calculated the amount I spend on fuel per week and its #15,000. Imagine. During Jonahs regime is was #5,000... I never even talk of generator fuel and cooking gas oh. See Nepa bill, dstv & other utilities....in this Nigeria we will soon understand why some people venture into crim

What kind of question is this?

Don't you have a survey? Your survey will determine the depth and they charge per meter. It will also tell you how much casings you need which can vary...so maybe you should post your survey and then ask how much it would cost to drill a borehole with this survey. That is the determinant factor.

essentialone:
How much does it cost to drill (dig) a Borehole, on an average?

there is already a tank on the ground.
there is already an overhead concrete scaffold with 1 tank above.
there is already a surface pump that transfers water from the big ground tank to the tank overhead.
also, a 1.5HP submersible pump and switch has also been procured.

From this stage what is remaining to have a complete Borehole, and how much will it cost, on an average?

AH 1Z viper used by the US Marines...the gunner sits in the front...that's all she wrote ...you can clean all the bandits at once while minimizing casualties that you might get from launching a rocket grenade...it detects incoming so it will be hard to shoot it down. Great move...I just hope they deliver them by June and by that time, fully trained our special forces. Google and YouTube is your friend...Renewed Hope is coming

lol...you said a house rent now you say shared...we know your kind...we ask for evidence ...you change conversation. Naija children no dey jail abroad...you think everyone that japa provide beautiful future for their children...if you know, you know.. .clearly you don't know...if I am you, I will ask and learn ...not conclude

headboyprince:
are you saying you can rent a room in a cheap city or a shared apartment for $500? keep trying to sound intelligent when you're not. And this shows how low rated Nigeria is, that a medical degree here isnt worth anything over there. thats the more reason people will even japa self. the country is racing to the ground. there is no future in Nigeria.

even if the doctor ends up with carejob over there at least he will be able to give his children a future. and he will be free from security issues, inflation, corruption, light blackouts, bad roads and all the shits we're currently facing in nigeria. if you want to stay and perish in Nigeria do so since you dont value your life, let those that value their life and future do so.

I've come to understand...intelligence is not often common. Where did i defend the govt? I am not and do not know one politician in power talk less of benefitting. My point is simple...all that glitters is not gold...what we lack and need to work on remain the fundamentals.

All schools should focus on agriculture...govt can mandate that. Regulations on housing so issues can be resolved to encourage private investments into housing...people are building...just using them for airbnb and hotels.

headboyprince:
despite all the money your politicians earn they still have abroad visa, send their kids to study and base abroad, and have properties over there. shame suppose they catch some of una defending this country. you guys brain is equivalent to that of a goat. as long as you see grass to eat, you dont mind staying in capativity waiting to be slaughtered, even if the place is stinking. tufiawaka!!

I just can't imagine students refusing to pay due to tuition increase lol

Lol each state cannot...you need LGAs not even states in Nigeria...you think what you have now makes sense. ..you can later on work to improve the grid and combine...US a long time ago had many stations...towns and villages were not connected...we can't fool ourselves...what we have now is millions of decentralized grids called generators and solars...let each LGAs do its own thing and Govt can support...Estates in Lagos are providing 24hr electricity so technically some decentralization already exist...dey play.

DeLaRue:
Each of the 36 states can't have its own electricity arrangement. It's just not realistic economically.

That doesn't even happen in the US.

Even assuming each state has its own electricity, how will that stop a coordinated bringing down of electricity pylons given that in a lot of cases these pylons are located in deep forests.

Securing every pylon in Nigeria is clearly impossible.

The country is at the mercy of various interests who are prepared to undermine the country unless they have their way.

I have advocated for decentralization of our electricity ...this issue should not affect a large expanse of people if decentralized well...You create stopgaps...get rid of National Grid nonsense.

I was asking you where...tell me where you will get $500 houses rent...even your English is a liability and you want to insult someone. The Doctor doing care job overestimated his degree worth in a country that can't even find residency placements for its own citizens...Clearly you have no clue. Good day Bro

headboyprince:
there are $500 houses rent dont be stupid. if a doctor can live nigeria and started doing carejobs. doesnt that ring a bell to your eyes about the future of the country and how hopeless it's right now. iam sure it wont because you're too dull to comprehend what iam saying

when our association renovated and expanded Isara Hospital..we learnt of another hospital that was fixed...the person's mother or father got sick...the hospital in town was a mess and he or she died. The son now decided to renovate..the people with Nigeria and Nigerians is..we are always reactive...you don't need to wait till a problem hits home. Every year, my foundation renovates public school...one building per year per school...running to private schools won't solve the problem..the children in run down public schools will become tomorrow's agbero and touts that will make the life of private school children worse as adults. We must all think ahead and give hope and support the community even if it doesn't benefit us directly. Instead of opening more mosques or churches, why not invest in public schools and hospitals...be the change you want to see.

Amotolongbo:
Can you imagine as big as Ejigbo is.
If there is a good hospital, he would possibly be still alive.

It is high time the well traveled Ejigbo people come together and think of how to develop their town, if the government isn’t showing to be responsible.

They won't listen...after years of such experience sleeping with untold number of people...watch them claim Belgium na dream land

I am not sure you are aware all these countries have unemployed graduates and keep producing graduates. Rent of $500 for which state..pls post. Even Doctors are happy to start with carejobs...anyways those who know know...people like you need to japa and tell us how you found high paying jobs as your first gig lol

headboyprince:
rent $1500 are you kidding me? you can pay rent of $500. and besides why do you guys always assume that everyone who japa will be without papers and must work less than minimum wage. is Us or UK the only country.? are jobs that pay less than minimum wage the only jobs available?

Compared to the past, it has increased...Christmas is even worse...flight to Nigeria $5000 and nor business or first class...economy...I had to go from US to UK on low cost airline then UK to Nigeria when I saw that US to Naija July time was $1700 and splitting was $1800 with opportunity to visit UK going and coming...omo something is not right and the planes to Naija was still FULL o hahaha

Gerrard59:
Isn't that dependent on seasons? Say Christmas rather than now? If I, as a resident in the abroad, book a flight to Nigeria to fly by, say, March or May, shouldn't it be cheaper than doing so while in Nigeria?

What did she study? Graduate with? How did she get the job? It's the same nonsense everywhere.

McCain's daughter used father's influence
Bush son became President like his Father in America...we know he was so stupid according to records
Biden's son under probe for using his father while he was Vice President

These politicians...same difference everywhere.

Today, Nigeria will face off with Angola in the AFCON 2023 Quarter Finals.

What is your prediction of the match?

2 - 1 (Nigeria beats Angola)

Nigeria scores two, and Angola scores back one. Good luck to the boys

Gone are the days when men suffer in silence...if you stress a man out, he just wont come home...and even more so in sane countries...you want the house...take it. I just found out one of my friend of the family that served in the military in Afghanistan discovered wife had someone else...and they just bought a house...he left..and now news just reached that she sold the house cos she cant afford to keep it..before you make decisions, shine your eyes...and when super stressed, leave and protect your peace. If Lady B can give you peace, you have only one life. A world is enough for the wise.

My Biggest Regret Is Pushing My Husband To Move Us From Mainland To Lagos Island After Change In Financial Status - Woman

She claims her husband changed his lifestyle after they changed location and he met new friends, started clubbing, always eating out, raising his voice at her now, takes drugs, sleeping in hotels for days, etc.

What advice do you have for her?

$100 per day...let me help you...if you work say at $15/hour which is not even the official minimum wage...some immigrants work for less than the official because of no papers...you work 8hours...that is $120...your taxes as a single independent is 25%....so you make $90. You do that for 20 days in a month full time...that's $1800. Rent alone is $1500...maybe you will rent a room for $800, pay electricity $50 if you are sharing, internet $25 if 4 of you are living in the house...then transportation $100...keep in mind you have no health insurance...so we will assume you will never get sick, then you have to pay for food...lets forget special food...you spend $400...you will be lucky to have that $100 by month end. You can also get a 2nd job and work 80hours a week...for how many years before your body tells on you...pray you have enough saved to buy land or build house...and and...if you are illegal without papers to get minimum wage, you are not just messed up, you will be very messed up.

Zanzibar1:
People make choices every time, oftentimes, they aren't good decisions.
MasterTeeUSA might not have been deported so he can still go back abroad when he notices the dollar to naira rate conversion.

Last year, I worked in a hotel for a while. A guest came and asked me where he could change some dollars he had. I offered to help him.
When the aboki came, I realized 100$ was equivalent to 56,000naira.

That's just 1 piece of 100$ bill o. Now, let's assume you are spending in naira, what problems can you solve with 56k and do you know it's very hard to even raise 56k legitimately or even on employment basis?
If you are abroad, you will get jobs that can offer higher than 100$ in a day o.
And yes, just to point out that $100 is no longer equivalent to 56,000naira.

Dang...died on the job...Omo, this is serious. Someone I supported told me how she will crawl out of bed because all her body aches from working and she is into care work...first 3 months, no jobs and I had to still send rents. The agreement to pay back...she has only made one installment. First house, the roommates refuse to pay rent cos they cant cope with school fees and they were evicted...2nd place, she completed someone's lease and the landlord refuse to renew...went to AirBnB so in less than 1 yr, she has changed accommodations and lived in 3 addresses. Nigerians have no clue. She is lucky we sorted out school fees and all...she said some classmates got school IDs deactivated for non-payment...one got a letter from Home Office for non payment and begging everyone for help...I just laugh cos most people don't understand the reality.

sukkot:
lol I totally get you bro. I have done that security before. It's not a stressful job but it brings a huge set of discomfort and it's own set of suffering into your life. Like you said, after 12 hour shift them getting train home then trying to sleep in the morning is impossible and then at 5pm you have to get ready to go and do it again. It's killing. It's a different kind of stress that Nigerians can never understand. With Nigerians so far as you are in the UK with a job you are enjoying life. They can never understand the realities of a different kind of suffering even in a sane environment

Well 3 Nigerians just found out the reality of that different kind of stress in the UK. In the past 3 months, 3 Nigerians in the UK died on the job.

This is actually a good idea...but before then I will support Banks liquidating their dollar bills. If you then need dollars for payment from dorm accounts, you need to do electronic transfers. That way, the Banks do not have to deal with carrying dollar cash. If you are traveling abroad, do wired transfers or money transfers and collect the cash...stop the Banks from hoarding and keeping cash above a small threshold. If that does not work, eliminate dorm account or domicile it at CBN so it can be controlled. My graphic designer was asking me to pay in dollars...like WTF..we can't win the war like this. I have no dorm accounts.
