Nawaooooo .

Which means Ukraine is not that important to US.
Ukraine better end the war and start rebuilding their country because their motivator don't care about them anymore.

Do you understand the billion in USD that has been sunk in Ukraine by the US. US is the biggest financier of Ukraine, followed by Germany. Every war is different. Russia is a nuclear armed nation and US can't send warship to the black sea. That will be hugely provocative to Russia.

In war, you need to be emotionally intelligent.

Since we don't know who is currently funding Hamas , it is better to be on a safe side , especially when we can see with our eyes the complete failure of the intelligence unit Mossad and co, or should I say something was compromised somewhere. Remember Iran supply Kama Kazi drones to Russia, but then I don't think they are sponsoring Hamas , they are unfortunately the likely suspects,but we all know they are other players .. People can draw you into a conflict without your consent via manipulation.

Hamas is fully being funded by Iran.

Behappy2:
Nice one. Hamas go collect maximally

US carrier group was not intended to strike Hamas. That will exacerbate the situation. It was meant to send signal to third parties nations that might want to take advantage of the situation, most importantly, Iran.

Treasure17:
They literally killed this guy.

Mohbad might be high on drug and the injections might react against the drug.

Quack nurse never carried out any test, she just administered the injection like she used to. She will be responsible for everything on the ground of manslaughter. That is the maximum she can get.

Hahahahahahahaha...

I know say u go enter off key once ur gender is doing the scamming .....

Did you actually have the data to watch over one hour of video?

This guy always striking the right chord. Where are the other Ministers?

They ought to be outdoing themselves in good things.

Sheffield Hallam University has cheaper tuition fee compared to Sheffield University, and HEAVILY dominated by Nigerians. Voting for Nigerians become easy. You will hardly see a Caucasian in some of the classes. It is fast becoming another extension of Nigeria Uni.

"You have a higher chance of getting shot in the USA than in Nigeria"
're u ok?

Have you ever been to the States in your lifetime?

PoliteActivist:
They rarely prosecute the American citizen (may be because they have no way to show how he/she benefit ted). Most times they just deport and ban the foreigner for life

They will only prosecute the American lady if she Knowingly go into an arranged marriage. In this case, she didn't knowingly go into it, she later discovered it was a scam. She can't be prosecuted but Kess will be banned for life from entering the United States without an option of a waiver.

That Kess is such a big fool. He has kissed North America bye bye for the rest of his life. Fraudulent marriage has no pardon in the states and no way he will get Canada visa ever too.

He cheated in a silly way on a lady that could set him up in a good way. What will Christy o offer him?

He doesn't know what hit him yet.

7demons:
Quote me anywhere: There will be no country called Nigeria in 2024 if those figures in the so called " Supreme Court" don't upheld the constitution and do what is right.
This country is sitting on a powder keg and about to explode. We are already in the Second phase. The first phase was the rigged elections and the hardship the masses are facing.
This new uprisings will start from the North.

Stop chest beating like a Chimpazee

erico2k2:
you dnt gerrrit, al you see is money and to you thats made it, can you make it i n Nigeria as such you can travel from PH to Lagos at 2AM in the morning alone in your car Can you make it big so much that you can drive on our roads no pot holes? or can you make it that large in Nigeria that your basic needs are met at your point of needs?

Western world has better infrastructure but security you are talking about is debatable. You have higher chance of getting shot in the US than in Nigeria.

Like i said, look at your own situation and make an informed judgement. Some people are better off travelling out while some need to stay put in Nigeria.

There is no blanket rule to everything.

However, know that a lizard in Nigeria will not automatically turn to a crocodile abroad; a lizard will always be a lizard irrespective of where it is placed.

Rostikol:
IT IS ALL DEBT.

He is paying a mortgage on the house and most likely paying monthly hire purchase bill on the Merc.

Technically, these things are not 'his'.

You don't even need to be a doctor to access these loans in those countries.

Even taxi drivers, plumbers, and electricians can show this picture of themselves ''living large'' on debt.

Well said.

It's all about perspective. If a Nigerian living in Nigeria tells a white person he has a house and a car, the white thinks he is in debt and paying mortgage and monthly finance .

If someone abroad tells a Nigerian he has a house and car, he feels he owns it outrightly.

What represents success in both climes are different. It's only in Nigeria you own things outrightly while in the western world, it's a culture of debt.

At the end of the day,individuals will choose what they want but in life, for every successful story, there are thousands of untold depressing stories.

You can't be unskilled and think you can afford monthly financing on Benz in the UK. How much is even your monthly income? Don't generalise success - it is unique and peculiar to individual depending on many factors .

Carefully make your own choice

NLC and TUC have eventually gone mad.

They simply want to bury the country under inflation.

ebiye55:
Dele Momodu has always been with Atiku IMO, he has been consistent there

Separate his business/work from politics

All for financial inducement. He's also attempting to sound nice to Obi to gain more money.

No be Dele Momodu again? That has been his usual.trend

When last has Deke Momodu made any sense. Subtle attempt to make money from Atiku, pretending like a loyalist.

Atiku and Obi should stop embarrassing Nigeria.

This is getting out of hands.

I will support regulation of the social media by the Govt.

Why the desperation by Atiku and Obi, embarrassing the Nation they desperately wish to serve

It must be on record, neither of them will EVER serve as President in this country.

This guy - David Hundeyin - will certainly end up like Nnamdi Kanu - shackled and subdued

If Judiciary is truly independent, Atiku will be cooling his heels in prison. Was he not the same individual that Obasanjo called a thief in his book?

yjgm:
Congratulations dear. You have done remarkably well. Against all odds you emerged winner.

What did she actually do?

Kingsnairaland:
Real estate prices are not stable and you have the right to inflate prices when selling or buying lands.

So what is exactly the judge basing his theory on.

Judge of Nairaland, well done

jaeyking:
With the kind hardship wey dey now
Abi
I no understand all these statistics

Looking at the trend
You will notice that richer countries with high human development index and GDP are the most expensive to live in

They get value for their money

I feel reverse is the case in Nigeria

Your submission was contradictory. For a place to be expensive does not translate to getting value for money. Each country pays according to the inflation rate in that country. If Nigeria pays the wages as currently obtainable in the UK, for instance, inflation will kill Nigerians. If UK pays the wages as obtainable in Nigeria, they will die of penury.

iwaeda:
Tinubu UNGA appeal in the mud or so. How can investors stay in unsafe environments.

It has always been like this for few years now, even during the administration of buhari.

It's called level 3.

The op was being mischievous to report it as if the DoS just said it.

AfonjaConehead:
Who are those two Nigerians nah,so they don't have names,abi?

If it is Deziani Allison Madueke or Stella Oduah or Ngozi Okonjo Iweala or the Peter Obi, AHHHHHH, coneheaded structures would've turned everywhere to hyena nightclub!!!!

And again,how many people know that the late petroleum minister Rilwanu lukman had an oil well?!!!

Nobody knows....but they know Deziani Allison Madueke very well even up to her bra!!!!!

The other two are the businessmen Adetunji Adebayo and Mohammed Kuchazi.

Eniitankorede:
And these Nigerians have not been decapitated yet? What is government waiting for?

It is just very sad. Profiting from the misfortune of your own country. I can bet the lawyer must have intentionally created loopholes in the contract for the company to exploit, so that they can claim damages even when they did NOT do any job. And the Minister just signed without reviewing the contract.

Very pathetic

Nigeria signed a contract with a foreign company P&ID to help in the processing of its gas. Grace Taiga, the petroleum ministry’s former head lawyer, worked on the wordings of the contract and made the then Petroleum Minister, late Rilwanu Lukman, under the administration of Musa Yaradua to sign the multi billion contract.

Under the contract, Nigeria was to supply the wet gas for 20 years and P & ID was to process it. P & ID never fulfilled its own part of the deal and Nigeria never supplied the wet gas. P&ID took Nigeria to an arbitration pabel, claimed that Nigeria has wronged it. The panel awarded the cost of 6.6billion USD against Nigeria with a daily interest of 1.3million USD during the Buhari administration. Buhari refused to pay and appeal to the UK High Court.

It was later discovered that Grace Taiga that worded the contract had collected 10k USD from the co-founder of P&ID and she would even benefit financially to the tune of 200k to 500k USD if Nigeria pays the damages!. She first denied this amount in a sworn affidavit before admitting in high court and she just called it a "gift". There are other 2 Nigerians who acted as middle men, who will be entitled to 1.3Billion USD and 340million USD, if Nigeria pays the company the damages.

The UK high court has finished hearing the case in March this year. The damage to be paid by Nigeria has risen to 11billion USD. Nigeria is claiming that the contract was fraudulently signed, and Grace Ataiga collecting money from the company was a pointer to the scam.

One analyst stated that "The story of how a small offshore company with no meaningful track record, no website, and only a handful of employees managed to win a multibillion-dollar gas contract raises red flags for corruption that call for careful scrutiny" and another analyst says that paying the damage "may take us back to the pre-1999 military era, when Nigeria wasn’t creditworthy".

This is a sad tale of Nigerians selling off their country for financial gains. Nigeria is waiting for the judgement

Curious345:
this would sound as good news : but Nooo. But the naira is almost like tissue paper 📜.

That Increase will basically achieve nothing ..

I still believe Tinubu should relinquish 65% of his presidential powers to peter obi . Just like the Kenya example where Uhuru Kenyatta split power with Raul Odinga..

Tinubu and his cohorts are extremely confused . [b] Peter obi is the magic Dust they need
[/b]

Cynic spotted.

Can you ever be pleased?

Peter Obi? To change Nigeria the way he changed Anambra to Dubai?

I detest this Iyabo Ojo with passion.

She should channel the same energy to shape her delinquent daughter

UnfairLife7:
Only God knows if truly you're not against people relocating legally. If you can assume people living in diaspora and building houses in Nigeria are into crime🤣 then what else do you expect people to call you? Anyway you're entitled to your opinion. You can chose to assume Nigeria is far better than those developed countries. It's your opinion and your choice. That doesn't invalidate the reality known to everyone. That wouldn't also stopped people from relocating legally.

You see why i detest dedicating my time to have an intellectual discourse with you. You have a knack of misrepresenting facts. See your misrepresentation in bolded again.

Either you travel or not is not my business. You are just dreaming of travelling. You do not know a thing about me.

I wish you best of luck in your pursuit of traveling abroad, where you will buy that land and build that house within a year.

UnfairLife7:
Good

I do not need him to explain to you, i will do that for him. Back in the days dollar and naira was the same right? But now a dollar is almost 1k. 1-5 dollar is useless over there. Meaning they can't use it to get anything reasonable but a dollar in Nigeria will give some a descent meal, a dollar in Nigeria can be used to subscribe for electricity, a dollar can be used to cook soup in some parts of the country et al. less than 5 dollar will buy Dangote cement with extra change. A plot of land in some places in Ogun state is around 700-800k. I mean places that are exposed in Ogun state like agbara, sango and the likes. This means $700 can get you a plot of land. Looking at their minimum wage I'm sure you know the numbers of days one can gather that $700. With 5-7 millions, one can raise a descent 3 bedroom apartment. Which is 5-7k dollars. I have not been there before like i said but i believe with the continuous decline in our currency one can achieve buying a land and building a house in Nigeria within a year or less. Which obviously will take an average Nigerians decades of years considering own dwindling economy, level of unemployment, minimum wage and poverty.

Most public territory institutions now charges nothing less than 100k. Some charges 150-200k. The only freebies Nigerians enjoyed was taken by emilokan government. Be sincere with yourself without being biased or partisan. How many parents can afford these fee considering other expenses such as accommodation, feeding, wardrobe and other miscellaneous expenses. Remember that child isn't the only one that the parents would look after. He or she obviously would have siblings depending on the numbers. I personally know 2 students that finally dropped out of school (Unilag and Unijos) as a result of increment in tuition fees. That fee is something that those in the diaspora can get within a week and send to anyone in Nigeria.

Apart from unemployment, poor healthcare and substandard education. People are also relocating because of decline in our currency. Just the least amount of their money would put food on their poor friends table in Nigeria.

I laughed when you said most people building houses in Nigeria from diaspora are into crime🤣 you must be very good in comedy🤣 i wouldn't want to talk much on this because even a 10 years Nigerian child knows and understands people relocate abroad for greener pastures, work and establish themselves in Nigeria.

I haven't even gone to pounds sterling o. All these were just dollar which is 1k to naira. Pounds should be 1,250-1,300.

Let me educate you.

Number 1 : When you have not been to a place, your experience is gotten through someone else experience or through reading. You cannot intelligently argue with someone that has lived there. You have not. You need to get there to form your own experience.

Number 2 - I detest it when I am quoted out of context. I never mentioned that most people that travel are into crimes. I said most people that build edifices in prime area in Nigeria, especially within short period of time are most probable to go into crime. Western environment is not designed for you to be wealthy. Just to be average, live and die.

Number 3 - You said within a year, someone should be able to buy a land and build a house. I do not know how to explain this to you. If you had travelled even for a visit, you will understand.

Number 4 - You wrote that 1 to 5 dollar is useless to people living abroad. Your inexperience about travelling shows again. Every cent counts because it is made with sweat and blood most times. You simply dont get it. You have mentioned in one of your thread that you have never seen a white man begging for money before. I just smiled. Your inexperience about traveling always shows.

Do you even realise some people in the US cannot feed themselves and they have to depend on food given to their children in school?

You are talking about Universities. You just turn it upside down. Do you realise that some of their citizens do not go to University because they cannot afford it, and they do not want to be indebted by taking student loans?

Formal Education is not meant for everyone. You need to pay for the true worth of earning education. If you cannot afford it, go and do something else with your life. You do not want citizens to pay the true worth of education but you want universities like Harvard in Nigeria. How ironic!
Do you think University Education is cheap for their own citizens?

Your write up is littered with your inexperience about traveling, and with this expectations you have, I am genuinely afraid for you.

Skyview01:
So it is only Benz that is a brand-new car? I ask again, why the hell would he need a Benz?

A security guard who works in my company came in one day with a 2022 Honda Accord. That was in 2022. He bought it on his way to work. He does not even have a diploma. So Mr. Benz, what have you got to say to that?

I saw you typed out "Mercedez benz" and I referred to it.

That security guard that came with 2022 Honda Accord which was bought on his way to work bought a fairly used car which will be financed. He needs to meet up with monthly repayment, His debt portfolio has just expanded.

If a Nigerian buys a car, he owns it outrightly 90% of the time.

So for a Nigerian who has never travelled hearing story like this, he thinks that is how easy he will be buying car. Always state the repayment side of the story. Always tell them they dont pay for it outrightly.

That way , they will understand the culture of debts over there as compared to Nigeria. That is a balanced way of presenting things not to mislead people into having superficial expectations.
