I posted it when I saw that lands in Lagos are still more than 92% owned by Yorubas.
I thought they have sold off everything or at least 3/4 of the lands.
Stop decieving yourself. It depends on the area. You can't go to Ikorodu or mushin and not see over 90% owners as Yoruba. Similarly, you can't go to festac or agoo palace and not see over 90% owners as Igbos.

spencerdee:
So guys I really appreciate your input and all, it's been a while since I asked this question about me using my savings to go study abroad but I had a uturn and thought about one thing, if I took all my savings to go study abroad just to later work for money money again so I invested in crypto and forex for a while and my money doubled over a space of 3 months.
I bought a land of 2 plot for 600k per plot and started a project of 4 bedroom bungalow which was completed within 4 months.
As of the time of writing this, I'm currently a 200 level student with NOUN, I am a dog breeder and I rescue dogs too, I brand clothes too.
I don't have a savings of 2m again like this but I have investments in crypto and I'm looking to save up to go for vacation somewhere nice.
I'll share pictures of my compound... Nothing like having a comfort of your own with peace of mind, I don't own a car yet and I don't want one anytime soon as I'm just looking to go for vacation around and do importation business with my other businesses
Are you still glad you chose this option 😂😂😂

Khyrvxjzy:
you get it

it for a greater good, government is deliberately devaluing the naira to kill importation
Lol, they will only end up impoverishing everyone and destroying the economy. You don't devalue your currency as a way of discouraging imports, especially when you don't have local substitutes.

China and other South East Asian countries devalue their currency because they have massive volumes of finished goods to export and even use locally. So, it benefits them unlike us.

RepoMan007:
I liked and shared not because I agree but because too many senseless folks for too long have blamed and praised past CBN governors for naira strength.
It has always been a demand and supply issue and not or never some chess-like maneuver of a skilled economist.
Just 12 months ago, in the peak of the naira scarcity/redesign, Tinubu aimed a dig at "them" (Emefiele/bubu) for taking the naira down in value. Now he is there. Let him defy low supply and keep dollar prices down let's see.
Yes, naira value is determined by our volume/value of exports against volume/value of imports. This is basic economics but Tinubu and his men used propaganda to demonize those before him. Now he is there ...

However, Buhari was an evil man. This demon was busy printing naira without recourse to any fiscal policy. Buhari was no different from Idi Amin. He caused massive inflation, rent seeking and corruption instead of making attempts to grow the economy.

Today, Tinubu isn't any better. He is busy encouraging propaganda and confusion instead of good governance. They keep using subterfuge and cheap rhetorics in the hopes it will boost confidence in the local economy. But things don't work that way.

I pity those still saving in naira because they will watch their sweat evaporate into thin air. I don't see naira rallying against the dollar because our productivity keeps going down. The more factories are shut and we import, the more naira crashes. How many factories are going to survive going forward.

I bought dollar this year at $1210. Went again, it was $1215 and the last one it was $1225 all within a space of days. At that rate, it will might get to $1500 before second quarter.

ask him, he is not advertising his people to invest in agriculture, Which is the new gold mine in Nigeria, in fact who ever that feed you is your master, igbos will learn this in few years after the have wasted all their little land on building bungalows
Lol, even though your concerns are genuine in terms of land conservation, but there is little or nothing you can do about it.

Nigeria is a capitalist country, not socialist. You don't force people to use their land for agriculture or whatever purpose. They have the liberty to make that choice.

The agriculture you're even referring to, is peasant farming which is bad. Peasant farmers are often than not, very poor. They're usually at the lowest level on the food chain.

I think Igbos should rather encourage greenhouse farming. We don't have enough lands for massive plantation farming. Israel is a force to reckon with in agriculture, despite having small land, even smaller than Igboland! What they did was to maximize their optimal yield through innovations and technology.

As small as Igboland may be, we can be able to produce 5x more food and other agricultural output than even Northern Nigeria. That's where technology and innovation comes in.

Politics aside I never liked anything about Peter Obi.
Everything about him screams fake and pretense.

If you don't like my comment kindly jump and pass kos if you come for me for saying my opinion, I'll come for you a hundred times over and shit on your head.
No honest human being will hate Peter Obi. The fact you hate him shows the kind of person you are. People like you like characters like Tinubu.

Peter Obi is already among the greatest and most respected Africans today. Something Tinubu will never achieve. So, the opinion of people like you doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

So, freedom of association is no longer guaranteed? Even if the person he visited is a bigot, so what? Isn't Wole Soyinka a bigot? Did it stop Peter Obi from visiting him?

Peter Obi associates with virtually everyone, he doesn't discriminate. He has visited sultan of Sokoto severally, visited bishops and pastors, visited imams and even that one who keeps saying rubbish about terrorists.
Rubbish!

To some people especially obidents, this is more a political point for them but they don't know that this man remaining in office benefits them more than him leaving the office.
Fallacy of hasty generalization. I'm Obidient but I believe this man is the only person in the present government who is working excellently.

Truly, from what he has done in immigration, he belongs to the few personalities that worked passionately for the good of all. I categorize him among great people like Dora Akunyili, Okonjo Iweala and a few others who fought against cabals.

Tinubu would be stupid to remove him because he is the only minister boosting the image of his gloomy government.

nairalanda1:
This is what happens when government controls prices and pays and subsidy. Debt results

Says so in the article. Sub economic tarrifs. That means that government forces the discos to charge prices below the production cost, which in turn forces them to operate at a loss.

And then they find it difficult to pay loans , hence the lender taking over.

But because of sub economic tarrifs, the companies cannot make a profit. So despite the new management, the companies lose money


Moral of the story is electricity is not cheap. It has to be priced appropriately to make a profit.
The major problem is endemic poverty in that region. The electricity users there are either unable or unwilling to pay their bills. The way out is to enforce use of prepaid meters otherwise, any company that buys KEDC will also go bankrupt.

Obasanjo and Yar Addua's suspended erring corrupt ministers in their government.
This is exactly my point. Corrupt ministers were suspended or removed by Obasanjo, Yaradua and even Jonathan. Only for BBC to claim it's a rare thing to suspend a corrupt minister in Nigeria.

They're only playing sycophancy and indirectly supporting a government that is absolutely corrupt.

You're quite ignorant and very gullible. What you said exactly mirrors yourself.

Until you start seeing things beyond their face value, and rather thinking deeply about motives, then you're still a baby.

BBC works for the British government and what they perceive to be in their own interest. They don't mind encouraging corrupt governments in Nigerian as long as it benefits them. They're not after the interest of Nigerian masses.

Going after TB Joshua is a low hanging fruits for them which they're milking but the real problem facing Nigerians which is corrupt politicians and gross maladministration is never their concern.

If they were the ones that busted this criminal minister, then it would have made sense. Have you asked yourself why they never do anything that exposes our corrupt politicians?

Mayflowa:
What are you saying? BBC captured those issues you raised: Election and Jos killings[b]. BBC also did not do the investigation into Betta Edu. [/b]They just talked about it. Would you rather anyone steal public resources?

We don’t have enough news firm covering corruption, and you criticizing the few one we have. Do you know that there are Nigerians that work in BBC Nigeria? British is doing well for their country. They even allow Nigerian in troves to come to their land and stretch the social system.

You must know no one can help us. If you cannot take care of your country, no one can but they will talk about you because you are part of the world player.
You're not getting my point, what BBC is doing here is sycophancy.

I just highlighted your own statement. 'They talked about it' after Nigerians raised alarm, mounted pressure on the government and they eventually caved in, only for the BBC to start glorifying the government for doing something 'rare' in Nigeria?

Billions are being stolen by ministers and the ruling government and the news keep circulating everyday, have the BBC bothered to do investigative reporting on them?

When they manage to talk about the massacres in the middle belt, do they conduct investigative journalism? No! They still use the same rhetorics of farmer/herder crises or effects of global warming causing herders to move southwards. But any investigative reporting will definitely reveal that ethnic cleansing is going on against Christian natives! They know that but refuse to report it!

I care less about TB Joshua or what the British government do in their own country, but know that they collude with the corrupt politicians in Nigeria, for their own selfish agenda!

Lol, I pity those still taking BBC serious. This useless establishment is not a media house but rather a propaganda machinery of the British government. Of all the serious issues bedeviling Nigeria they saw non to conduct investigation on. Hundreds are literally being slaughtered in middle belt but they never sent a reporter talk more of investigation. Election was blatantly rigged but BBC never did investigative journalism. What about #endsars? No!

However, this pathetic establishment had time to investigate late TB Joshua. Now, they're saying trash again that isn't even factual just to promote their evil interests.

Lol, and you think they won't still be a minority in Niger Delta? If Ijaws could subdue them completely in old Rivers State then what do you think will happen under Niger Delta republic when Ijaws in Edo and Delta adds up?

They'll definitely suffer under Ijaws but they can't help it. So, their future is bleak.

Ofodirinwa:
Long overdue, I don't want to touch an inch of Nigeria when I get home
This mindset of yours is exactly my own believe until reality hit! I will explain.

It seems there is a deliberate plan from the government to frustrate Akanu Ibiam International airport Enugu and make it unviable. Either that or Ethiopian airlines are criminals sabotaging that route.

The low traffic AIIA Enugu is experiencing is due to deliberate sabotage by Ethiopian airlines or federal government wicked policies.

Could you believe that I wanted to book an international flight from Enugu to one of the cities in South East Asia only for Ethiopian airline to bill me over 3 million naira! For a one way ticket! The outrageous figure made me to check other routes and even other airlines and the result shocked me.

All the international airports in Nigeria including Lagos, Abuja, P.H and Kano charged significantly less than Enugu route. Sometimes, 3x less for same destination!

The same route Ethiopian airlines charged me 3m+ was what I got for a little above 1m from Qatar airways via P.H airport! That's three times lower than Enugu!

For someone based in Owerri, P.H is next door yet as a patriotic Igbo man, I would definitely prefer using Enugu that is farther away if the ticket prices were same or even a little higher for Enugu. But 3x higher is madness and a complete ripoff!

Now I understand why many Igbos don't make use of AIIA Enugu. That airport would definitely be getting 5x it's current traffic if not for this sabotage. Most travellers making use of P.H, Abuja and Lagos international airports are still Igbos and half of them would likely use Enugu if not for this sabotage.

The only existing ACTUAL car manufacturer in Nigeria is Innoson i.e. IVM.

It's quite ridiculous that some ignoramuses are mentioning Nord. A 'love-vendor my ride' shop?

Before anyone will start arguing unintelligently, please provide videos or pictures of the so-called Nord factory. I will also provide pictures and videos of Innoson vehicle factory.

Yorubas should stop seeing everything as competition with Igbos. Even Omaa, a vehicle assembling company in Anambra has a more befitting factory than Nord they're calling car manufacturer.

I have the capital to invest on the bussines.. but now am saying should relocate abroad with the money and leave my 3kids and wife back home or invest on the bussines.. cus am traveling with a tourist visa and it’s a Europe country and I don’t how long it will take to get my papers over there please Nairaland I really need ur opinion not make future mistakes

Thanks
You really need to be careful otherwise you might live to regret it. Traveling with visit/tourist visa will make life very difficult for you. You will struggle to get by and chances of regularizing it is low or may take many years.

I would advise you target Asian countries like South Korea or China. Work there for a few years and return or seek greener pastures elsewhere. You will get stuck in Europe with that visa and you might not see your kids again till they're grown cry cry
