100 dollar is a whole lot of money o, she will labour so hard to earn it

Oga, she must be a janator or something. Probably poor.

DivinegiftofGod:
This is pure jeolousy. Envying your own family members is the height of witchcraft


It's not their fault that they live in a place where the 10 dollars you send can get them a luxury it can't afford you over there. If you look at it, you still spend the bulk of your money more than them because you send them chingum money that can't take you a week but spend thousands of what you send to them here for yourself. So how are they enjoying more than you?
Person go just dey begin calculate the small 100 dollars ( wey be like 100 naira to am) wey him dey send say e too much. Small prayers wey you for receive for sending a meager 100 dollars, you now lose it because of over calculations.

It's this wicked mentality that is making many of you to be stingy. It's very bad. If they have the opportunity to be there like you, I'm sure they won't ask you for anything.

Keep your money. Those in naija go still shine and fresh pass una because we eat real natural organic food and get natural Vit D year round.
You guys wait. It's only a matter of time, we will soon have good govt and nobody will send you and your lonely lives abroad anymore.

Very stingy people.

No mind them jare.

Don't know about that. I buy bottled water, nirvana preferably. 1k per pack of 12. When we are 3, 1 pack a day, when 5, 2 daily.

Nice one.
Hopefully, it will reduce traffic on the roads.

IamANigerianMan:
Your likes make criminals everywhere, for for instance nobody in NNPC salary is more than 500000 naira, which is less than 500 dallar equivalent , tell me what this money can do for you... These people are criminals stop defending them.

Even if the salary is 5m monthly, the person still cannot afford to send a child abroad to school.

brain54:
This isn't true...

I didn't watch the video... But going by the headline.

False and disrespectful.

They are top management level civil servants who have worked hard and honestly for years (some upwards of 25 - 30 years) and have been able acquire modest property and send their wards to be educated in other parts of the world. Not because the money they have is in abundance but some go as far as acquiring loans.

You can't tell me a top level manager at NNPC for instance must steal before acquiring property or sending his kids to study abroad. Especially if he has worked and saved deligently for a considerable period of time.

This statement is quite a disrespect and discouragement to honest and hardworking civil servants... Especially the young and up coming ones looking to make a career out of the civil service!

Oga, will the official salary of that Nnpc oga be above 2m monthly? Even the president's official salary is not up to 2m. Even the top level Nnpc manager earning 2m monthly cannot afford to sponsor a kid abroad not to talk of kids. How much is eg pounds sterling, ₦1800, that means I session school fees of 15,000 pounds yearly for 4 years. What of accomodation, cost of living, bus pass, pocket money, clothing, flight tickets for school and holidays. A child will cost not less than 35k pounds (₦63m) yearly. No civil servant including oga at the top ordinarily can afford that unless there is magomago aka stealing involved.

looseweight:
I spend 18k per week

How is that possible? Except your job is within 1km from your home.
Warming an suv for 10mins daily without it driving will burn 18k weekly. Lol

70-80k

Emman08:
Why do all these government agencies behave live criminal syndicates?

Because they have instruction issued to them through "body language" not to disclose the information.
If your boss is nacking his PA, his wife suspects and ask you. Will you disclose to her?

IamANigerianMan:
I remember his days in SARS, he was a household name to arm robbers

As in positive or negative?

Nothing these charlatans will touch they wount destroy.
If nysc is too costly for fgn to maintain, shut it down.

CheedyJ:
Shey na 'snake-trap' dey set for d bandits ni cos if na gun battle , how far were they from d bandits b4 killing dem that the villagers go rush out , gather the guns, hide them & rush back inside again.. I no understand sha

Headache catch me when I try understand the tori, persin ask me why I de read my phone de scratch head. Lol

immortalcrown:
And some people claim legalization of guns will make Nigeria better.

This man's encounter shows that many unarmed people aspire to become terrorist but lack weapons. Imagine villagers using the arms to fight soldiers in defense of terrorists. It means the villagers want to join terrorism.

Oga, does the story make sense to you? He says troops kill terrorist the villagers hide the weapons of the dead criminals, later dig them up and attack the troops that came to save them from the rear.
How do troops fire and kill terrorists and then leave the weapons with the dead bodies for the villagers to pick and hide. Is it that the army opens fire, the bandits die, the troops then ceasefire allow the villagers enter the killzone to collect the guns then soldiers advance over the bodies, the villagers then take the collected weapons to attack the troops? Even police when they fight armed robbers and kill them, do they leave the guns on the dead bodies then proceed to chase the remaining robbers, leaving the guns for people to pick and hide to use to chase the same police?
Abeg, you should realize this oga army just blew some "lamba".

It will be sorted when oga returns from "personal" visit to France.

Bobloco:
Tinubu is badluck

Wait 3 more years and see some Nigerians still "vote" for him.

alimiadedayo1:
The case of igbos supporting a particular tribe was partaining or peculiar to party not the person the party fielded as a candidate.. PDP has always be igbo party from the 2nd republic and majority of their political elites are loyal to the party and they enjoy the power and wealth formula bestowed to them by PDP as a party.. The story changed because APC used divide and rule tactics in form of religion and tribalism which really showed the true color of Igbos.. From the beginning I have always advocated for igbos presidency until last election I discovered the more I look the less I see which means igbos are also as tribalistic as hausa in fact I came to the understanding that the northerners are not that tribalistic, it was the religious bigot among that falls for that political gimmicks and which comes to play in north central where the majority of Christians in the North's voted for Obi and vice versa(majority of religion voted for muslims muslims ticket).. Though, this problem started because Buhari and APC cannot manage our diversity but the revealing part of it is that it unleashed the tribal part of igbos which was conceal under their loyalty to PDP party.. And the truth of the matter is that if PDP presented an igbo candidate like obi they will vote for PDP and if there is no alternative for igbos they would rather vote for PDP than voting APC.. They supported Atiku in 2019 because of obi not because they liked Atiku or PDP

Why will any sane person vote for APC after the first 4 years and last 4 years apc did ruining the country?
It really does not make sense.
Regarding igbos and PDP, tribal voting, I am sure igbos vote for the rather progressive party. PDP was in government for 16 years, they voted Obj, yar adua, Jonathan all against other parties that had igbo vice or presidential candidates.
On the claim of hatred for APC, kindly note that there are valid reasons, eg, PDP was in government for 16 years, met the dollar at ₦90, in the 16 years it remained stable rising to 140. It was only during the normal election period in which political activities affect exchange rates the naira fell to 180-₦200.
What did the apc do? Within just 8 years of apc, naira fell to 750 to the dollar. The next one under Tinubu ie total 9 years so far of apc, the dollar is now 1500 and rising!! In just 9 years!! There is mass migration of Nigerians. Poverty inflicted on a mass scale.

RepoMan007:
I was shocked when they said 120 for one average looking egg.
What is left now is for people to buy chicken feed and be eating directly.

I bought for 150 today.

VeryWickedMan:
Survive 5 years together before disturbing us.

Lolz..

Happy birthday dear. Long life and continuous prosperity.
As a local Sherlock Holmes i am, observing with with keen eyes, this your baby pics looks like obodo oyinbo. Ie you be likely britico.

LoveLeadsLand:
It means further increase in the prices of things across boards. Tougher times ahead but, for the sake of our sanity, let's remember...

1. Tough times never lasts but tough people do.

2. Every problem is an opportunity if only you can take a second look.

3. Elections have consequences. So, let's use this opportunity to learn our hands-on bitter lessons.

Seems you don't know Nigerians. They never learn. Just watch and see the next elections. Eg, one fellow I just commented on was telling another person he will wail for the next 7 years, say 1 year just pass, the usual tirade. Meanwhile the "teller" na job seeker ie aka unemployed somebody. Would you say he has learnt the lesson?

AyeMoJuba:
You go get HBP at this rate o
You still have 7 + years to cry

Nothing ur slandering go achieve
Wailing wailer

E ma lule Ku ni

Oga, you wount get opolo?
You are telling someone he has 7 years left to cry. Are you not suffering just as myself and other Nigerians? You de call persin wailer. How you sure say your suffering no pass him own? What is wrong with you folks for goodness sake? And don't tell me for you it is all rosy, the most a driver earns is 50,60k. Maybe 100 if na big company. With devaluation of the naira it cannot feed you in a month not to talk of transport etc, yet you de tell persin say him go wail for 7 years, no be you suppose de wail pass!!! As Asari go say, persin be mumu, but him de call another persin mumu, no be juju be that??
Anyway, as I always say, Nigerians get mouth.

Emman08:
Someone hold this man before he strips and runs mad into the street because wetin be this?

Na Arise set the bar low to bring on such a charlatan as a guest on their show to discuss issues of national importance.

Lol..

Lolz.
His sense of humor is on another level.

MichaelSokoto:
Pls, all of dem should withdraw from d stupid skool...

Everybody shld boycott any damn skool dat hike fees!

Everybody stay home!

Nice one. Let them boycott those dammed schools.
That will make the employment market more conducive for kids that their folks suffered to send to private universities.

MADIFF:
Great move, how can a Nigerian living in Nigeria have his or her savings in dollar?

Even dollar sent from diaspora NIGERIANs refuse to convert and spend it rather wait till the price goes up and they cash out.



Our problem is not the land or the leaders but the orientation of average Nigerian so corrupt and self centered, always money oriented above humanity.

Is dollar our currency? What concerns anyone with my dollars assuming I have any? Eg, I go abroad, earn some dollars, then fly into nigeria, what right does anyone have to make me change the money? Afterall, I did not earn it in naija, neither did I get it from cbn.
If I decide to eat it, burn, use as tissue paper, change it, dash it out etc, it is no bodies business.

delpee:
I wish we could all decide to drastically reduce our taste for foreign goods.

Imported drinks, designer wear, luxurious cars, furniture, cosmetics, even toothpicks all require loads of forex. The truth is that if we concentrate our focus on patronising local producers more, they'll improve over time and we'll save more forex. Reno Omokri may sometimes sound like town crier, but he said as much. When given a deep thought, it's obvious that he's right.

If goverment and politicians do not do what you suggest, is it then the average struggling Nigerian that should do so? Abi is the average Nigerian able to afford to send his kids to school in Canada, us, UK at huge demand on forex? Is it the ordinary Nigerian that warehoused billions during the last elections but could not use it due to Emefieles new naira notes, and now change the cash to forex there by depleting all the dollars?
Is it the average Nigerian that imported 450 Toyota suvs at $150k each?
Is it the ordinary Nigerian drinking "40year old" imported whiskey?
Tell the people in goverment living large lifestyles to rather reduce their taste for foreign goods. Has oga at the top not gone to France on personal visit on which he will blow forex, is is son not presently in UK and France (davidos concert) on private jet levels also blowing dollars, euros and pounds?

Amotolongbo:
But they did not appear coordinated to embarrass Goodluck Jonathan?

Are you minding the mumu man? He does not have "opolo".

RepoMan007:
The wailing losers have forgotten this. They assume any negative trend can always be used to promote their candidate at the expense of whoever is there now.

You are talking of petty stuff ie wailing losers, their "candidate" etc. You really have time for off point. Talk of yourself, are you not a Nigerian? Are you not loosing? Guess you do not realise that you, other Nigerians, myself are getting poorer daily.
Why am I wasting time sef, you probably reside abroad.

Nickxander11:
Is it possible to open a foreign account from Nigeria?

I really do not know as I have not researched that.
