Mods,,lalasticlala,,u can help move this ministry forward to FP

*Please note I am an advocate of responsible gambling. And I always tell people, ONLY BET THE MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE. The kind of money for other entertainment you can choose to forgo. When you bet, you don't expect something back*

Well, I have been doing sport betting since 2010. I have lost a lot and I have won a few. I was the kind of person who bet N200 in other to win 50k. Yes, I did win a few but if we are to do a profit and loss statement, I have lost more than I have won.
You will forever be losing if you play accumulators (e.g, only Dortmund spoil my 50k ticket). The more the number of games, the more your chances of losing. That is the kind of games the bookmakers want. They tell you about the 0.0000001% who has won 5M with N100, because they want you to be greedy. You say you want to be rich through it, that is the kind of mindset that excites the bookmakers.

And I will rather be winning N200 per day, than losing N200 per day.

My current stategy is simple. I haven't had a loss so far but it is inevitable and will come. But even if it does, I know I will still have profit in the long run. I have a list of my favorite leagues where favorites win most times (e.g Portugal, Czech, Italy, Northern Ireland, Croatia etc.). I avoid the English league like a plague.

- Every week, I select a treble. Just 3 teams I expect to win most. It doesn't matter if the total odds is 1.5 or 2.6. Experience has thought me never to get greedy in these scenarios.
- I have betting accounts in some countries, as well as local bank accounts. So I find my bookmaker with the best odds for the treble, then fund the account.
- I play the bets as a system betting (2/3). This reduces the odds and my profits, but it also reduces my risk.
- I play with maximum 100 euros, or the equivalent in the local currency of chosen bookmaker. No more than 100 euros.

There are three possible scenarios. LOSE 100euros (2 losses), Lose 30-50 euros (1 loss) or gain 50-100 euros (3 wins). Selecting just three of my best teams a week helps me to reduce the risk of losing.

Ndo.

If you feel the poll is rigged, then go and conduct your own. C'est finis.

I'm not surprised you feel a coward and opportunist like Kunu, who after milking illiterate IPOB members dry and ran with his tail between his legs after seeing a Python dance deserves to win a national poll. LMAO.

Biafra or Death ~ No election in Anambra ~ Atiku

You lot from the East are a bunch of comedians

junnyjake:
I won't totally agree with you sir.


Guadiola really have some strange expectations from his players, he came in and sent Joe Hart on loan, bringing in Claudio Bravo who was conceding goals every other week.

I knew Nacho won't get a chance with Pep, even though he scored in almost all the matches he played under him, but Pep was convinced that wasn't enough for him. Has Pelligrini remained at City, nacho would have been one of the biggest stars in the EPL.

I agree Guardiola has strange expectations. But my point is simple, if you perform well, you play. If you don't fit in the coach's plan, you leave. Make the right choices and perform at your next club. Yaya was sold, same as Ibra, Etoo, etc by Guardiola. They went to other clubs and performed.

Kelechi is at Leicester now, and I still think even his time at City was a lot better than presently at Leicester.

andrew444:
Jesus is better than kelechi that's the fact,and Jesus is pro favourite,do you expect kelechi to bench vardy?the guy is still young he will get his time,you are hating on him,if he buys his friend a house as you said what does that has to do with football,anything he buy for anyone don't include it in football that is the reason why I call you a hater,if you want to talk football talk football and stop being pained about his success

Hello Mr,

Nothing concerns me with what a celebrity, whether footballer or musician or writer does outside of their profession. I don't know and I don't follow their lives outside of their profession. I can't also remember saying he bought a house or whatever. I don't know whatever anybody does outside of the pitch, neither do I care. So please, don't misquote.

Now let's talk football.

andrew444:
Why the hate on kelechi? Aguero and Jesus is ahead of him there is no hard work that will make him start stop hating on the boy,kelechi was there before pep purchase Jesus and you expect him to play?kelechi was brought to replace vardy because they think he was leaving for a bigger club,Chelsea and Everton had bid for vardy But unfortunately he didn't leave so please stop the hate on kelechi,he is going to bounce back

Lol.

If you perform well, you play. It's as simple as that.

Kelechi was there before Jesus came. Kelechi never got close to benching Aguero but Jesus did. A lot of people never even knew who Jesus was until he got to Man City while Kelechi already had a reputation then. He came, he performed and there he is.

justseyi:
Yes most of these schools teach in English click the link on the main post to see other countries that offer such free education.

I didn't check your link.

Most states in Germany have reintroduced tuition fees starting from this last semester. So your idea is outdated. I also don't know if I should slap you for saying 'Life in Germany is relatively cheap compared to other countries'. Maybe you are talking about a Germany I don't know about.

And lastly, Brazil?? Of all places, you are saying Brazil. You might as well tell them to go study in Syria.

Realitycheck007:
Told her on 2 occasion... She just laughs and secondly she's not Jobless. She's a working class lady

The fact that you are deeply bothered by a woman who sleeps for 8hrs says a lot about you. If I see your woman today, I will advice her against going into the marriage.

Like seriously? People sleep according to their schedules. If I don't have anything to do on a Saturday or Sunday morning or even free weekdays, coupled with any earlier-in-the-week stress, I can sleep up to 13hrs. The same way I sleep for just 3hrs in weekdays or days where I have earlier schedule.

If she doesn't have anything to do, why wake up so early. Or are you the type who expects a woman to have less sleep or time for herself simply because she is married to you. The one you expect to sleep at 12 midnight and wake up at 4AM.

BiafranBushBoy:
Wow... I am impressed.

Just one last thing Sir, you can advise your lil sis to cohabit too...

That would show how good it is...

Too bad I don't have a sister. So my advice here is irrelevant.

I do have brothers though. And Would I recommend it for them? YES, if they find a intelligent one to love. But it's also pretty irrelevant because they are well past University age.

Just say you are jealous.

I cohabited when I was in the University. Neither me nor the girl had a spillover. Same Faculty, Same level and graduated same time. Infact, having someone around was more like a blessing for me. Though I agree it's a financial strain for your pocket.

I'm currently rounding up my Masters at one of the top Grand-Ecoles in France. So eat that up.

NLandIsHypocrit:
Why do you ask? Are you scared? Well Biafra agitations remains 1001% alive. The zoo is imminent to witness a new level of shocks from an awkward dimensions.

Don't you people ever get tired of futile chest beating?

Where is Kunu that was shouting 'Zoo must fall' up and down? I'm sure he must have learnt from his predecessor to dress as a female to Ivory Coast.

Where are also the IPOB members shouting no election in Anambra?

IPOB is a disgrace to all secessionist movements worldwide.

Yeligray:
Personally i don't like the idea of having a maid in the house. I prefer the husband and wife helping each other out at home... A maid can destroy your marriage

It is Karma. What goes around come around.

The wife herself was also once a maid to his earlier wife. Now another maid is taking over.

Looks like the man is only interested in maids.

following....

You omitted something important.

The first thing I expected to see for the Igbos is CRIME.

Now I don't know if it should fall in strength or weakness. Tough choice since criminals are highly celebrated and given titles in that part of the world.

Princefrankie1:
Kyle Walker is the best right back now in Epl because he is playing for Citeh under Pep?

Walker that was rejected and kept on the bench by Tottenham in favor of a youth player, Trippier?

Does Walker start in the England National Team?

Yaya will make Madrid team? Does he even play for Citeh? Talk more of Madrid with the best midfield trident in Modric Kross and Casemiro? Think again bro.

As for KDB, Silva, and Aguero, that will be a tough decision for Zidane because he can't keep a Modric on the bench for Silva. Neither will he keep Isco on the bench for KDB. Isco offers what Debruyne offers and even more.

As for Kun, he has Benzema to shrug it out with. Cos Madrid do not joke with Karim. Ask Morata.

I just had to comment. I have had enough of you being gibberish.

You call Walker a rejected Player? I wonder how you interpreted football. If Walker is not England first choice right back. Tell me who it is?

When you said Delph is a part of Pep's first eleven. And it says all about you. May I remind you that it is Mendy, and Delph just recently got his chance because of his Injury. Because by your analysis, we can also say Pogba is not in the starting lineup.

I even think you don't watch football, and get your analysis from hearsay. How can you say KDB is a tough choice? He will effortlessly be in the first team of any Club.

I got annoyed when you mentioned Otamendi.


Please stop talking about football.

I read the main thread and I cried for my country. No wonder most of the racist professors here still think we are not qualified to be called humans.

When I opened the thread, I expected to see a reprisal on armed herdsmen but I only saw innocent children being killed. I almost choked on my food and yet, there are still some stupid idiots who celebrated the violence or justified it.

As much as I do not like the Fulanis nor will I ever step foot again in Northern Nigeria, I do not appreciate violence, especially not against children.

PHC1stBorn:
You mean both part is under same country but the northern part is administered or controlled by the UK Government?

Don't mind silly OP. Like most Nigerian bloggers, basically just copied and pasted garbage. The post itself is even old but he still copied it anyway.

Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are two separate countries.
ROI is an independent country on it's own while NI is a country under the United Kingdom, just like England, Scotland and Wales.

Who doesn't know Emmanuel Macron is president of France

I find it even laughable that Finland is considered more expensive than Japan, Luxembourg and France. Whoever made the list is definitely high on weed. And Italy made the top 10 but I still can't find Germany.

Sergio Matarella has been President of Italy since 2015, for you to know how old the post copied is.

I can't even find Singapore.


Gerra outta here with this list.

Fake News.
Take it down Mynd44

Follow the instructions on the link. The steps to renouncing your citizenship is there. When you are done, cross the border over to Cameroon.

Don't thank me. I'm doing it for my country

.

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to chastise people in interracial relationships and only represents my learned opinion and observations. Also this post does not apply to Nigerians married to Mudsharks or those married to their ancestors or at least, someone who looks like their ancestor. I have lived in four European countries and I feel the situation is the same, or almost the same but I'll use Germany as a yardstick.

When I arrived Germany, I experienced a culture shock. I had just moved there from Romania, a country in Eastern Europe, and despite both being Europeans, there are considerable differences in their lifestyle. It was normal to see couples living together, some with children, in the mall, in the streets etc. The more older the couple, more likelihood they have passed dating stage and are married. In Germany, at least around the state of Hessen where I frequented, It was not the case. All I come across at Aldi are bitter, older women. I was even forced to ask one of my colleague if Germans ever get married.

YES? they do. But more and more men are choosing not to marry in Germany. Marriage is declining faster and cohabitation is on the rise. Well, except you are an illegal immigrant looking for papers to perfect your stay. I soon understood why. Like someone told me, in Germany, It is Women first, followed by dogs; followed by other animals and then men.

First, there is a contrasting view on marriage. Marriage according to most Europeans is viewed more like a combination for the sake of recognition nothing more. The idea of a family is conceived as a consequence of togetherness and not as a goal itself while according to most Nigerians, it is a way of life. Like education, getting a job, something natural that just has to happen. Your white partner can wake up tommorrow and say she is not interested again. Chances are much lower if you marry a mudshark. Well, I am not anti-divorce and strongly encourage divorce in cases of physical, emotional or mental abuse by either partner. But I don't know if it's because of the favorable laws, greed or non-commitment, I see a lot of families torn apart here. Unlike most Nigerians who see marriage as an institution, bonded by love, faith and commitment to one another.

When you divorce, you lose your kids, half your properties and end up paying child support for the rest of your life until the child is 21. If your German partner is unemployed, you are obligated to pay her monthly support as well during the period of separation, until the divorce proceedings are completed. If she or any of her family member is heartless, she just has to make a complaint, true or false and voila, you never get to see your kids again. If she is the lazy, uneducated type, she just sits at home feeding on your monthly cheque.

In Germany, 35% of all marriage within a year are expected to end in divorce. 52% of divorce filings were made by women.


2. Babies. I don't know if it's just me. But when you relate mostly with educated female Europeans, they have a negative view on having babies. Many of them do not want to have them at all. Cultural/Societal difference.


3. Their lifestyle. We have quite different lifestyles. Every person I have ever dated or being "beneficial friends" with is either an avid smoker or drinker and in most cases both. It is quite usual to see married women in my nightout at PHI18 smoking, drunk and eventually get all spent out. A married Nigerian woman most likely wouldn't do that. And those who even do so, do it in secret. YES? I AM ANTI-SMOKING BECAUSE I AM WELL EDUCATED ENOUGH TO KNOW ITS EFFECTS.

Don't ask me why I date them if I don't like their lifestyle. A man has needs that needs to be met.


Also, in Europe, marriage is a bit more about sex. Once they are tired of having of you or as people become older, sex becomes less engaging and then cracks start to form as the relationship has a weaker foundation to cover the weakness in sex.


4. Marital Roles. I believe I don't need an explanation for this as a lot of people already know what's up on this one. When marital roles are reversed, this is a big problem for me.


I know some people will come up to say some Nigerian women also do the same things when they start living abroad. I agree. Notable examples are videos of the nurse who maltreated her MIL and the wife of the US soldier killed when he came home to Nigeria. But they are still the lesser of two evils. One just has to be careful and watch out for her character.

I also remember the Nigerian girl who I was eyeing then. Visited her the first time, served me food. In my mind, I was like this one is wife material o until halfway through the meal when she said " ;DChop quick abeg, make you go wash your plate" . I still remember my 35 year old 'Cameroonian brother' who is married to a 26 year old Nigerian. Bad Market.

A much better alternative if you are going to be based abroad is to do only a traditional marriage back home. No court wedding and also, DO NOT REGISTER YOUR MARRIAGE ABROAD. That should keep her in check as there would be no legal loophole she can count on incase she becomes radicalized.


Lastly, Moving Back Home. Getting married to a foreigner means you are stucked abroad. She is less likely to follow you to Nigeria if you ever plan on coming back home like me. It is much easier to convince a Nigerian to move back to Nigeria.

unipol:
Thanks Bro, i will check the site soon, hope they have a variafiable phone Number and Adress.
I want to be sure they are not scammers before recomending it to others.

Pardon my language but I don't know if I should call you stupid or not.

You asked for recommendations and I gave you a website, and then you keep talking about scammers etc. This is why I don't help people on Nairaland.

Rather than check out the website to have a grasp of what it does, you are here blabbing about irrelevant things.

Did I tell you they charge any fees? They find the best connections for your flight, listing them according to your selected criterias. When you find one that interests you, you go to the website of the airline you want to fly and book. Simple.

No wonder travel agents make a hell of a money in Nigeria.

skyscanner.net
you will not find a better site.

First of all, do you live in Lagos? If Yes, then why haven't you relocated to the 'prosperous Biafra'?

If No, then you shouldn't even be talking.

I lived in Orile for the first 22 years of my life ( Minus the time spent studying in boarding school and my University days in Ogun), and No, we didn't earn less than $3 dollars a day, nor live in your described housing. Sure, we were not rich but we spent a lot more than the meagre $3 dollars per day and it was a 3 bedroom apartment for a family with 3 boys.
So I wonder where you got your data from.

I do not deny the existence of these type of accommodations but there are as more apartment buildings in Orile.

Secondly, a large bulk of the people you describe here are 'immigrants' from SE, SS and the North. I'm certain for that of Ajegunle and Orile. Don't ask me how I know. I grew up in these places. The kind of 'unskilled immigrants' with no qualification whatsoever who show up in Lagos for a better life only to go and oppress the starving villagers in the East during Christmas.

Lastly, I agree with you. Lagos and the entire SW is home to poor people and has a bad economy. But please, tell your people to leave. I hear Anambra is far better. Tell them to go home and enjoy the goods back home. I'm not comfortable with the generations after generations of your people living in the 'poor SW'.

Silly, Useless and factually distorted post with the intention of creating enmity.

As stupid as you are, you do not recognize that Arabic is just a language, just like English and French. It is even an official language in Israel, the birthplace of the foreign religion called Christianity.

How many lands have been Islamized? Silly idiot doesn't know there are about 1000% more Christians in the core north than there are Muslims in the SS, SE. And there are far more SS, SE in the North than vice versa.

The North is in Power. Let them enjoy their time. When GEJ was in power and every position went to both the SS and SE, nobody cried then.

As much as I always condemn the present government, the Fulani herdsmen and many other Northern policy, it's stupid to even listen to garbage such as this.


If IPOB doesn't want to be part of Nigeria, nobody is forcing them. It is constitutionally possible to renounce your citizenship. Do so and move to Cameroon, nobody cares. I have added a link to ease your application.

Moety:
Correct one my guy. Aside from paying bills till your grave, it's very difficult to progress in that godforsaken country.

Same thing I have been telling people everytime but they don't agree. You can only do the conversion when the money gets home.

In Lyon currently, even earning €30k annual salary means you will live a basic life. Same as someone with a 80k salary in Nigeria. Earning under €20k means you are living under the poverty line. Not even with a tax rate of 30%.

Don't think about owning a car or raising a family with a €20k salary in Lyon. I'm sure it's either you are homeless or sharing a room with such a salary in Paris.

And yet, I see these same people flashing all over Facebook but people back home don't know.

fidalgo19:
Don't get any Infinix phone, you will regret after doing it.

Haha. haters


Op, I use an Infinix note 2 and hot note. And I expect the note 4 to be much more better than both since is an upgrade. Perfect RAM, less charging time (mine takes about 30mins to get from 1-90%), longer usage etc.
I was using hot note and when I had to go study abroad, I bought the note 2 and went with both.

The note 2 since then is still my main phone and I only use the hot note sparingly. I have never had any problems with the phones and if you are looking to charge less, with a longer usage time, then it is perfect for you.

Those phones had outlived those of my friends here who bought their phones in Germany.

Please don't buy an unknown brand. They may look good on paper but most cannot last and always have RAM issues. I once bought one for my girlfriend on Jumia, and it started having problems 2 months in. When the screen finally got spoilt, that was the end of the phone. Because they were no replacement parts.

I don't know if they exchanged the brains of theists or they just removed it entirely.

a bird wandered into a home, probably due to your carelessness and then you called it evil.

No word to describe that.

HungerBAD:
Interesting.

I am assuming this Gabriel is a foreigner,and so falling for this woman's scam.

She is a scammer,end of matter.

There are many things a Nigerian mother will do, but i am yet to see one that will just wake up and run away leaving her children behind.

This Rita was just fleecing the guy, and would have probably collected more if the husband had not stepped in.

N2.5 Million collected already and has not travelled to Europe?no Country in Europe is difficult to get their Visa.

For those that are conversant with travelling, if you run your acct with even N500,000 for 3 Months steady, no embassy will refuse you any Visa as long as the account shows consistency in use.

Rita is just a YAHOO girl hustling,and her husband just disturbed her hustle. Now, if the husband wants to still remain married to a woman like her,is entirely up to them to decide as a couple.

You obviously haven't seen things. A lot of women dump their kids for a sham of a 'secure life abroad'. This I know from experience.
or you can even read about Nigerian women stuck in Libya, and with kids in Nigeria. Even those 'hustling' in Italy.

No wonder travel agents make money in Nigeria. Though funds is also a required component, the embassy is more concerned about a justifiable purpose of visit. Even if you have billions in your account, they will reject your visa. And Yes, I once secured an European visa without proof of funds.


Some men have no shame. Dump her silly ass and move on. Obviously, she has no interest in the marriage.

BTW, why do matters like this get to the police station or is cheating a criminal offence?

EzeEbira:
Ogun has a lot of factories you know

I know. I did my undergrad in Abeokuta.

But Abeokuta is not Ogun state. And even Ogun as a whole still cannot be compared to Lagos as an industrial power. But it is catching up really fast.
