Then those born again christians have gotten it wrong.

Many of us don't think we are moral because we are born again. LIke the alcoholic who has stopped drinking alcohol 30 years ago still calls himself an alcoholic, we ...I myself...think I am a sinner who needs God's help to live a life that pleases him, not a life that makes people think I am a moral or good person.

Look at Nigerian Christian doctrines

I don't cheat because I am born again
I don't steal because God saved me
I don't tell lies because I am born again
I don't fornicate because I am born again.
I became rich because I am born again

The funniest stuff is that you don't need to be born again to have principles as a human being or to be rich

Discountsempai:
The day you realize that whatever the belief system, some people can be wrong....

Most atheists are moral people. Yet it was an atheist called Stalin that sent millions to the GULAG...some in very cold conditions....to die because paranoia.

Even pastors say crap sometimes. LIke pastor david. Hopefully he will correct himself someday, but if not...na his own bussyness. At the end Paul did say that we had to crosscheck what pasta says with what the bible says.

Being born again and having moral principles are 2 different things

Here in Nigeria, many Nigeria only believe that they can only be moral because they are born again

They don't understand the concept that you can be moral without being a Christian or being religious at all.

It is easy to start a religious revolution with the poor than the rich.

The rich were comfortable, so anything Jesus preach will be a joke to them.

Most of Jesus Christ teachings were against the rich, so how do you expect the rich to be his followers if he was always attacking them.

It was easier for Jesus Christ to convert poor people because they were looking for hope and a Messiah.

If you noticed, all the people he feed were poor people

Majority of the people he healed were poor

The marriage where he turned water into wine was a poor marriage.

His target group was the poor, they were easy to access and easily impressed by his mannerism than the rich.

the rich and elite saw him as a threat to their power because he controls and influences lot of poor people they have left to starved.

They killed Jesus because of his influence on poor people because they know he could tell the poor people to fight the government and they will obey.

She is now an agent of the former colonial masters

If Nigeria was to be recolonize, these are the people the British will send to do their dirty jobs

But this time, they look like us and have your ancestry

Talismann:
so na you no come get single grace for life abi? You don't seem to realize that your country rewards the weird and craz.y. from politicians to artists, to socialites, to dubious business men. It's all the same.

Do you think anyone will listen to this peller abi pellet outside the shores of this country. Does he even sound intelligible to begin with?

You guys spend all your time hating rather than learning.

There are people that listen to them outside Nigeria

Even the top content creators in the world recognize them.

The pellet guy put in the hard work, so stop hating

lacasera14:
Peller and Portable are prime examples of grace. I don't understand what they're actually doing, why people think they're funny, or the kind of content they dish out to make it to fame and stay relevant, but they're just making it to the spotlight and cashing out. I tried listening to Portable and Peller on two different occasions to at least make sense of why they're popular and I slept after the first two minutes. But they're popular. Is it that Nigeria is too populous that millions of jobless people will celebrate anything they find online or may be I should stick to my idea of grace.

It has nothing to do with grace.

Those guys put in the work and they build a community.

Peller and portable have a target group which are people from the ghetto of which majority of Nigerians come from.

Both also create content everyday of which millions of Nigerians can relate with. You might not relate with both of their content but there are millions of Nigerians that do.

People like and share their content and they get more popular.

duduade:
I detest him ehhh

Money mis road dude

You detest him because you are not the one benefitting

Put in the work like him maybe you will stop hating and make money like him

mjuvey3:
Nigerians are too gullible.....They believe anything that's why these low IQed celebrities play with their brains anyhow.

$2million dollars for a kissing role for a girl who has never acted in her life..... NETFLIX of all people will give her 3 billion.

How much Netflix dey give Funke Akindele,Kunle Afolayan and other established and prolific filmmakers/actors.

You guys miss something

Peller and Jarvis control lot of young people who are potential movie goers.

You guys just blab without understanding marketing and also preparing the future generations for cinema watching

Netflix are investing in the future which in return will benefit all potential movie makers to make money on their movies

This is just the same tactics they use in the US

There are many reasons why coke is expensive in some countries and why they are cheaper in another and also why they taste differently.

Why are they expensive. Production cost, tax and also logistics cost( moving them from one place to another) one important stuff is foreign exchange fluctuation when importing the base ingredients.

A 50cl coke cost around 300 naira in Canada like you write down 2.49( 400 naira)

It is obvious that cost of production will be higher in Canada than in Nigeria, wages are also lower in Nigeria.

Also the only reason coke taste differently in Canada and Nigeria is simple. Most times, they make sure to adapt to the local taste.

The base ingredients are the same but they also try to adapt to our loca taste in terms of sweetness. Making it too sweet here in Nigeria might make them lose sales while in another country if it is not sweet they won't buy it.

It is the same way KFC in New York will have different taste from the one in Japan.

Magnetic010:
I really do not like commenting in topics like this because most times they make no single sense....That $2.49 is technically just 2 unit of their currency..can 2 units of nigerian currency buy you that anywhere in Nigeria or Canada?

This is the dumbest stuff I have ever read in a while.

It is obvious you have no idea about minimum wage or the concept of money

CodeTemplarr:
Can nigerian doctors work this amount here in Nigeria?

yes. some comsultant make that

BlackViper:
Where did you hear UK doctors are poorly paid? Or do you mean poorly paid by Nigerian standards?

but the salary is low in uk standard

the only country that pay doctors well is the US

descarado:
They are with the police. Actually, they are police people. Nothing like targeting immigrants.

If you don't look for minor, nobody will arrest you.
EOD

they are not police.

no nigerian man in the uk goes online to look for Minor

there are accounts created on dating sites by some group of people to target immigrants

how come the only perptrators they have caught are only immigrants

JAPAHTML:
Am telling you bro but our boys don wanna wise up

is more like they just set up a secret police group to keep catching these unwise men

Those guys are not police

They are a group that targets immigrants and honey pot them on dating sites

They do citizen arrest then invite the police for proper arrest

McLizbae:
It is always a setup except for few cases. Considering that they were already waiting for him at the airport, did you wonder how the security operatives got the accurate information of his movement?

I don't think the guy that handcuff him is a police

Could just be someone carrying out a citizen arrest

Berankis:
But in all honesty, I have seen a few videos like this, involving Nigerian guys with "Minors". My question is, if the meeting was online, how was the guy supposed to know the girl is underaged?
Because, to me, this really looks like a setup. You claim "Minors" but Minors aren't allowed on dating or adult sites. At least, you would have given consent that you are 18 or above before registering your account.
The most insane part of it is that, these guys can't even put up a good defense for themselves, they immediately start fidgeting and talking stupidly. How are you supposed to know she is a minor? Minors aren't allowed on dating sites, except you went for her physically or privately online.

You are right.

This people are being setup by a group of anti immigrants white nationalist organization that hate blacks.



The guy should get a good lawyer

What is a minor doing in a dating site when the terms and agreements of the site says 18 years old.

I am not putting up excuses for the guy but I have seen a pattern in these videos.

This group are known to honey pot immigrants unfortunately these guys fall the trap

If this guy was not shaking and act smart, he would have defended himself.

These groups are taking advantage of people who are ignorant of the law

i need evidence

if there is no evidence, you are clout chasing

Not price control

The lesson I learnt is simple.

Always have evidence and proof of any dirty deal in the corporate world even if you are involved, it is your leverage.

If a boss is threatening you, dig hard to find dirty stuff on them and present your facts finding

Silence the boss with proof until they start begging

Be ruthless, revenge is always sweet.

Always have leverage, it is a game of power

hedonido:
Quite sad. Even a yahoo boy is better than this t w a t. In a country as impoverished and underdeveloped as Nigeria, it is a tragedy to watch politicians who have never done any productive work or venture in their entire lives live like Arab Sheikhs along with their children and family members.

I don't blame them. I blame the docile masses.

stop hating, you wish you were in the kid situation

even if Nigerian is better, you wont still be living better than a politician child.

Some of the stubborn girls will still go back once they face another pressure from home

You will really need supportive parents and family members not to enter those traps.

qtx:
That time Nigerians never had the idea of cutting corners.
But now, before you mention 3 u don jamb one wei do badt thing to make money. And dem no go care.

that is not true.

Those guys also cut curners

many of them were lucky because they had relationship with the colonial masters

some were government employees, when the colonial masters left, they took the over some of the assets because majority of Nigerians during that time were not exposed.

Solsix:
Unfortunately those wealthy were not transferred to the next generation

exactly

so they are not old money

helinues:
So many lies, so many wrong allegations against others.

Coming out boldly to call Falz a gay is just one out of many. The Mercy Chinwo, Dee one. Only him picking fight with people and he thinks he can go Scot free

The other day, he was having court case and this guy travelled to China and still be posting videos, meaning I am untouchable when you are son of nobody

It's too many

DSS has no right to arrest anyone for cyber bullying

if it is DSS that have arrested him then it has to do with the Pleateau killings, calling out the governor

I am not in support of any movement

But yeah, if this boycott is works

It will send a message to corporate bodies not to play with their customers

Youngzedd:
GTBank arrested VDM.

https://www.nairaland.com/8414959/verydarkman-arrested-over-gtbank-loan#135211733


Who is advising these people? There are many ways to handle such an issue.

Now, it's operation close your GTBank account next week.

Their social media pages are on fire. Massive reporting and protest.

so there any paltform where you can short GTB bank stock

Too many gullible people in this country.

Imagine people believing that she is the one and that is how she types

Roseodd:

My guy put your money in Treasury bills, the returns are not that big but you will get your money back complete plus returns

if you want to get hypertension, then go also do the bus business

dishonesty from driver and conductor, fake repairs, police and mechanic issues and high fuel price will give you hypertension

Meerahbel:
🚐 Option 1: Buy a Mini Bus and Drive
Pros:

Daily/weekly income stream.

Potentially higher return than passive investments if you manage it well.

You have more control.

Cons:

High operational risk: repairs, fuel, accidents, inconsistent revenue.

Time and energy required if you’re the driver.

Regulatory/ticketing issues in some areas.

Depreciating asset.

Recommended only if:

You have solid knowledge of the transport business.

You’ve done cost vs. income analysis (e.g. average daily earnings minus fuel/maintenance).

You’re ready for active management (or have a trusted driver with accountability).

📈 Option 2: Treasury Bills
Pros:

Very safe (government-backed).

Fixed, guaranteed return.

Great for capital preservation.

Short-term options (e.g. 91, 182, 364 days).

Cons:

Low return (typically around 10–13% annually).

No early access without penalties.

Doesn't beat inflation significantly.

Recommended if:

You want zero risk.

You’re saving for a near-term goal.

You’re okay with modest returns and just want your money safe.

💼 Option 3: Mutual Funds
Pros:

Better potential returns than T-bills (especially equity/balanced funds).

Diversified portfolio (bonds, stocks, etc.).

Managed by professionals.

Liquidity (can cash out with little delay).

Cons:

Moderate risk (market fluctuations).

Returns not guaranteed (depends on fund type).

Recommended if:

You want a balance between safety and growth.

You're okay with medium risk and don’t need daily cash flow.

You’re looking to grow your money over time.

🚨 Final Advice (based on your tone and urgency):
If you urgently need income and have business experience, the mini bus could work—but only with a clear plan and backup savings for risk.

If you're not sure, go with a split strategy:
₦2M in Treasury bills or mutual funds (safety/growth)
₦2M saved while you research/test the bus idea or another business

Never tie up 100% of your funds in one risky venture without backup.
