This emergency issue y'all cry over. Do you know you can pay $10,000 if an emergency unit come pick you in your home in the US? Depending on distance and depending on your health insurance package?. Don't pray to have emergency issue anywhere bro , you can't afford it unless you're rich or you have a decent insurance. I pray good health follow you

US is not your poster boy for good quality of life though. It is the poster boy for capitalism

You are more 100 times more likely to survive an emergency in UK/Canada than in the US and you are likely not going to spend a fortune too.

maasoap:
Exaggeration! With plenty money, you can provide yourself with everything you need in this country.

Do you have plenty money to validate the bolded.

Emergency response is the biggest issue in this country. Most of us are one emergency away from ruin or death

Dear Op,

You made a very salient point though. But I'll advise you get a gf, wife or move into a shared apartment. Or you can start blogging and vlogging just to beat the loneliness.

Also try to learn to enjoy your own company — I have heard how lonely Europe can be. My friend in Finland, after awhile almost lost her mind — she was later placed on therapy. Nigeria is a really interesting place to be, as you can just meet a total stranger on the way, strike a conversation and friendship don start.... Apart from Africans, I don't think the rest of the world is as communal as we are.

As regards your financials — I'm no advisor but I think there's no right time in life, every moment is right to start. If what you are currently doing isn't favourable, recaliberate your attention and focus on other profitable things.

Wishing you Godspeed.

Brazilians and some carribeans are as communal as us

Coming from someone who's never board a plane before. I used to say it most Nigerian youth are the way they are because they're lazy and unproductive. Except to speak bad of their country, talk about sex, betting, there's nothing else in their brain.

According to you, someone cannot chose to leave a country if he wishes? I left Canada because I was done for good. I saw how things are, and can't be fooled into investing the money I've worked hard for years in Canada where tax will probably eat me dry and I'll always pay rent. So hard to build your own house without incurring serious mortgage. Took my Money, come back and still working for my organization

Aside from WAEC certificate, which I doubt you have, what else can you claim to have in that your God Forsaken hole in Nigeria?

elitism is your bane

you would never have survived in most developed societies

Bksense:
Actually, they can trek to the US. It's worth it. This Nigeria na zoo. It'll take approximately 4days by foot to US.

stop with the sarcasm. There are many valid reasons why people want to japa.

Canada particularly has very good quality of life. This is something very missing in Nigeria. Health, Environment, Food Security etc. You are more likely to die in Nigeria due to poor emergency response than in Canada.

I however agree with you that economic reasons might not be valid for anyone who earns above 1million per month. I also agree with your post about those who use conversion to naira for economic comparisons rather than value of money.

Zonefree:
That thing go reach like 12K to construct in Nigeria.

thats if you go meet the person by yourself.

if na based on how much Govt go budget for am, then e go reach 500k

BRATISLAVA:
Your logic is faulty.

You know quite well what you were implying with your post, that posting it would make him remorseless .

Good news is, even men who weren't posted online are still remorseless. So if you have an issue with them recording it, that is your sentiment. Not because it would make the difference you claim it will by making him remorseless.

Make of it what male logic you will.

I know what I was implying. heck, I stated it directly "posting it would make him remorseless" and it is exactly what you think i am implying.

However, you are still making the same logical mistake I pointed out earlier. It is quite common, so I do not blame you.

BRATISLAVA:
Oh please. There are a lot of men who were never posted online who are still remorseless.

you understand that the premise that "posting him online will make him remorseless" does not imply that "not posting him online will make him remorseful" right?

it is a common logical mistake to confuse implication with equivalence
A => B does not follow that A' => B' but can only follow that B' => A'

your counter argument (B' => A) should have been "there are lot of men who were remorseful even after being posted online"[/quote]

the moment they posted it online, any hope of the dad being remorseful for his actions evaporated.

If that is your justification for hating Arabic, is it not st00peedity when you love English that did 100 times worse than the Arabs

who talked about hating Arabic or loving the English.

I only gave you information, so you do not think that the English were the only ones. The United Kingdom actually abolished slavery before the Ottoman empire.

haslaw:
Yet the English you worship took millions of your people as slaves to their country

you never heard of the trans-Saharan slave trade where Arabs purchased African slaves?

that of Mauritania was only abolished in 1981

haslaw:
IPOB CARNNIBAL, YUU have been so blinded by HATRED you lost all forms of LOGIC.

Arabic is a Language, even the Bible has Arabic version but BLIND &DEMENTED HATRED has DAMAGED your BRAIN

there are thousands of language. the question is whether Arabic is an official language in Nigeria.

Our official languages are English & French and then the indigenous languages

Michelle70:
u dont get it.

If someone wants to use N500m of the old currency to buy smtin from u, will u accept it? knowing that the money could be useless the next week.

Also if u pay in such large sum of money into ur account, EFCC will question u

most laundered monies are in USD cash not NGN cash

RichDad1:
Twitter can charge verified accounts £100/month and guys will still pay…because If there’s anything I’ve learnt from Social media…People will pay ANY amount as long as they’re classified differently and appear to be in a higher class!!

aboslutely.

keymatt:
That I support Tinubu doesn't mean I wouldn't be fair. I'm a realist. I stand for the truth.

you are definitely no Tinubu supporter.

You paid political hacks should earn your money in peace and dont disturb us

Kajaard:
Exactly. I knew it has to be Kelechi shortened to Kel Chi. I am gradually turning into a tribalist these days because that region all they are known for are negative things, very loud and obnoxious lots.

all regions bro.

although tbh, when i read the headline i was certain it would be an Igbo name

We seek supernatural explanation for things that can be explained by natural phenomena

Our gratitude to God is not restricted to the extraordinary miraculous things.

We should show gratitude to God even for things that can be explained/done by science and medicine. It is what our faith in God demands.

Throwback:
We Nigerian youths have turned our back on Peter Obi's deceptive attempt to paint himself as a new politician.

Nigerian youth ko. Political jobber ni

bellabello:
what of brainwash juju Paul are ur pastors and using on some of Africans

I agree with the original poster na. I was just adding that of the arabs

SmartPolician:
If not that tribalism has destroyed our brains in this part of the world, this is how it is supposed to be.

For God's sake this is one country.

A Nigerian would rather answer Edwin, a British name, than bear a name from a tribe they share a country with.

The JuJu the white man is using on Africa is damn potent.

Congratulations to the man!

or rather answer Ahmed, an Arabic name tha bear a name from another tribe they share a country with. I agree really terrible.

The juju the arabs are using on Africa seems equally potent

Adultery is a civil offence. Assault is criminal offence.

He had no right to tie his wife to the well

violence is violence.

Pakute:
One ipob terrorist down. Nobody messes with Lagos.

Eko onibaje!

there is a very strong probability that he has generated more revenue for Lagos than you would ever in your lifetime

Tony Kabaka - human rights activist?

I dont understand why BAT/APC keep bringing the worst of persons into their inner circle. The street boys he will bring to the fold is not worth the negative publicity Kabaka brings

who will protect the police force from civilian brutality now

Kobojunkie:
I didn't offer up an "interpretation" since what I said is as written in scripture - as-is. All that is required to understand/grasp what is written is basic human language comprehension which most any speaker of the language can boast of. Your special interpretation powers, however, it seems only your Churchians have them.

written texts including biblical text are subject to interpretation as 0% ambiguity is rare.

Kobojunkie:
Other than a point of view, this is the Truth of God as stated by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago. So, do you believe in Jesus Christ or is the Catholic church instead your god of choice?

"I understand your point of view" meant I understand your interpretation of the verses you mentioned

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ's position however is that only those who are born-again can obtain grace(eternal life) which they can then spend in either of Eternal Damnation (Hell) or Eternal Reward(Truth). So I hope you can see how utterly foolish this Catholic stance you posted truly are when put up against the very teachings of Jesus Christ, the King and Law in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46

I understand your point of view

The Church (Catholic Church) teachings on the subject can be summarised below:

The only way to heaven is by the grace of God and that grace comes through Christ and His Church irrespective of the person's religion.

another answer from catholic.com

"Those who were not in full communion with the Catholic Church in this world, if they died in God’s grace, surely go to heaven after the purifications of purgatory. They may experience less help from the living while they are being purified, because they may have belonged to communities that do not pray for the departed; but as to their destiny, they are the same as those who were Catholics in this world. In fact, no one is a “non-Catholic” in the world to come, because everyone recognizes the truth of the Catholic Faith"

Kokaine:
Yes but still read what i wrote. Don't add a brain twister to this simple thing.

Disbelieving or stating your belief is not what we are talking about. Its your belief. Insulting revered personalities is the case under our microscope here. Trying to expand the compass to disbelief is not necessary because it has and may never be a problem. I have never heard that any fight broke out in kano or kaduna because a Christian said jesus is lord or anything of it.

The problem has always been desecration of things other people hold in high esteem. Don't be deceived it will happen anywhere. People will react in america if their heroes are disrespected. The degree of reaction will only vary with the level of poverty and general position of the law in that country with respect to non state elements wielding the powers to take decisions meant for designated state elements. Its still the case with stealing in lagos market. Its wrong to kill the thieves in the eyes of Nigerian laws, but the people who do it will not agree with you or your views.
Reactions vary everywhere. From ignoring the person, to silently hating him/her to open violent attack. And everyone will find justification for whatever course of action he takes. But then, the person is dead.

Please read this statement carefully before you respond so you do not automatically infer that anyone is defending a lawless state. The underlined cores here are; in a place where the justice system is moribund, what do you do in your own little effort to forestall a suburban meltdown of peace? Since you know the markets and streets are filled with druggies who actually have nothing to loose if a fight broke out? Simply avoid doing things that stir these reactions especially when avoiding them do not threaten your existence in any way, or infringe on your right .

I do not have Christian friends who insult me or my religion. They were raised up properly. Neither do i attack people who do these things. And so can be said by millions of people in the north. But this does not rule out the fact that it happens. It doesn't rule out the fact that there are people who will deliberately insult others or pull strings they know are capable of inciting a civil unrest in all regions, neither does it out rule the fact that there are those who are ready to kill for it. They can kill ordinarily in a fight for 100naira change. So their ability or readiness to kill is not constrained to the cause its self, but a function of who they already are /were before the event.

I will do what is necessary to avoid evil coming my way. However, in event that someone else failed to do what was necessary to avoid the evil coming their way, I wont deliberately confuse the victim for the evil doer.

Difrent:
Just like christians were stoning Christians to death because of blasphemy

did you think those "Christians" were doing the right thing

Kokaine:
There is no gain in testing the secularity of Nigeria or the lack of it. Since you already know its not taken lightly in the north. Simply abstain. Every place has its own norms and what is held in high esteem. Lets learn to live and let live. Avoiding blasphemy will not take food away from your table. Why indulge?

Religion by itself necessitates Blasphemy as your truth is not my truth and thus might be considered blasphemous.

Denying the divinity of Jesus is considered blasphemous in Christianity.

The guy is a Tijaniyyah which has some doctrinal differences with mainstream Sufism or Wahhabism hence the chances of blasphemy increase

An Ahmadiyya would consider the Prophet Muhammed to not be the last of the prophets. Most other Islamic sects would consider that to be blasphemous.

A Christian would not even consider Prophet Mohammed to be a prophet.

Capital punishment for blasphemy has no place in a modern society

Difrent:
Which menace?
Is it right for Christians to FORCE muslims to adopt Christian laws.....the English common Law is derived from Christianity. Besides Christians are in the north and sharia law does not apply to non muslims. So calm down and stop this christianity paranoia

Can I renounce being muslim so that Sharia law will not apply to me?

Shouldn't it be my choice as an individual to be tried by religious law?

What is Islam's view on Apostacy?
