it is solely a public school, army day secondary school, ikpobal hill, benin city.

This is command secondary school, ramat park, benin city. I finished my secondary education here in 2014.
It's sad students now learn on bare floor

Please kindly point out where i was boasting about my personal self? Everything I've said so far pertaining to myself as a case study was based on "Instance" please don't quote me out of context. You don't need a soothsayers to tell you that not everyone will do well with or without formal education. Besides, formal education isn't meant to make you rich or whataview. Nothing can stop you from being rich if destined to and have access to the right information. Education has nothing whatsoever to do with richness. Nonetheless, it'd be a plus if one had formal education no matter how little it is

You asked for fact to my claim that people who got education had more opportunities to leave the shores of the country. Didn't you? Then i told you to bring someone who had just school cert and business doing with other person who had a degree and wanting to explore to other countries like US, UK, Canada et al. Then watch and see who US or UK embassy would gladly grant her request amongst both parties. That's a real life scenario i put up there. At least, if you claimed you don't know that those countries are majorly accepting those who had good education and wanting to make futher research through studies and possibly get PR and become citizens with time. Then you can make do with the life scenario i put up there as the fact that you are seeking for

If paradventure you need more input or fact to my claim then you should visit the travel session of this beautiful forum. Google, quora, Wikipedia et al are also recommended to get more fact that you seek

You are one of those brainwashed Africans who see Israel as a superpower, even though the country depends almost entirely on Western countries. Lift the military sanctions on Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria, and watch how Israel will varnish from the map.

Just Google Inheritance amongst blacks... Who said all white people behave one way or the other and a lot of blacks not leaving inheritance does not mean every single one of them.

I know how much better live has been for the last few generations compared to the current one - they have more disadvantages than my generation or my parents. If they do well that is all the blessing I need; the rest is a bonus.

Family house means my parents do not need my money or me to build them a house for them. I can build one but I do not do waste or ego...

A parents retirement plan is having a child - that says a lot about your mentality!

This is an update to the previous thread here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6783357/traveling-air-first-time/7#106420545

So i boarded my plane this morning and i can say it was a great experience thanks to all your contributions and tips. Lemme start like this, I woke up so early as my flight was at 8:25 since it's my first time i needed to play safe to avoid stories that touch i didn't give my village people a chance in that aspect.

I arrived at the airport few minutes to 7 and by 7:10 i was done checking in and ready for boarding (I didn't expect it to be so fast and smooth tho)

That was how i started pressing my phone and carefully paying attention to the announcements that one could barely hear. (I think airports need to do better as some of us no dey understand that kind accents) They can just past the announcement on a screen for people to read, anyways what do i know? maybe people have not missed flight as a result of that.

Ehen so while waiting, i was just observing everything, i saw one bros seated behind me so i walked up to him and confessed. "Bros no vex, na my first flight bdis, abeg if dem announce air peace flight to lagos just let me know" he smiled and said i shouldn't worry. Few minutes later i heard the announcement naso i pack my things go join queue, kudos to air peace (unlike the other announcements i heard, they used one local accent to announce before the normal posh accent repeated the announcement so it was easy for me to know it's time to board.

They did the normal thing and i was inside the plane naso i just dey look like village boy. i followed the suggestion by some good NLanders and watched how to fasten a plane seat belt so it was not an issue, i no disgrace my ancestors. except for the air hostess that was rude when i asked her for my seat everything went fine, i was so calm and composed like i've done this before. The plane took off and few minutes later we're flying above the clouds i was just smiling all through then i felt a sharp pain in my left ear, boom i no dey hear well again. then i remembered i was told here, i just swallowed saliva and i'd regain my hearing, it continued through out the flight. some of the things i noticed through the flight was:

Majority of land, like 70 percent is uninhabited, i saw my knowledge of geography come into play as we ascend into the sky, i could easily identify all the different layers like atmosphere, lithosphere and the rest it was like we're traveling to space, asin after all science no dey lie oo but above all God is the greatest. My experience helped me to believe God more, like he created all these things, he has the power to do anything so why even doubt him.

At some point during the flight, the plane was vibrating and turning anyhow lol but i didnt panic because i remembered nairalanders told me about it, i was seated by the window and stayed awake all through. Like 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot said "for those of you sitting by the right if you look by the window we are just flying over ibadan" naso i look and was like, oga i no see ibadan here ooo na just thick cloud i see.
That was how i landed in lagos around 10am and the weather was looking like 4pm nawao. i enjoyed my flight sha and i hope to do this again, but next time it should be canada not lagos.

I have no need to build a house in Nigeria - there are family houses that I can stay or hotel or Airbnb. I live a simple live and can manage anywhere - why would I be so stupid to build a big house just for show.

People should stop assuming the house belongs to man and that it is for him to come and live. Folks abroad want to invest their money and Nigeria give so much better returns on investment - simple as that!

If people are continually discouraged to invest at home from abroad - it is the country that will suffer...

Lastly, I am making plans for my retirement and old age - so I will not be needing financial assistance from the children - just their love and attention.

I so intend to leave a big inheritance because statistically a lot of black people leave very little for the next generation. I am even ready to downsize to a smaller apartment so that my kids can get on the property ladder. I am responsible for them - not the other way round!

chrisj2:


Who are you? Why are you so pained? If the parents abandoned the child that no one forced them to have, then it is on their head!

I have children and they were my choices and I will provide for them like a good parent will do - and I do not want financial considerations from them just because I was the sperm donor...

Stingy greedy fool is someone who pays the rent for the parents and possibly send money to siblings and after all that, they moved into his house without consent. That is a scam! Now crawl back under the rock you came out from. I am not interested in you or your opinion because you have offered none.

Has the OP said to you that he wanted the house to gather dust or use it to flex. It is clearly an investment between himself and his wife and his family. This nonsense could break his relationship and this one is talking nonsense...

Emarvel:

What makes you think he is coming back to live in the house?? How many persons for yankee dey come back come live for 9ja?
Why would a house be somewhere and his parents will be living in rentage.

Kajaard:


You won't understand. I have had very bad experience with Nigerian tenants in my other property.

Paying rent the first time is not an issue, it's the subsequent payments that becomes an issue. Then ejecting them is another issue, it's always a hassle and I end up using lawyers. The Indians will pay on time and they will be easier to eject as well from past experience.

And yes my suspicions were right, those were yahoo boys. I can't have fetish yahoo boys living in my property. My house, my rules.

Kajaard:


You didn’t give your Nigerian brethren your house in Ilupeju even tho they were willing to pay cash just because of their mode of dressing which is none of your buisness because it’s their private life yet ended up giving Indians instead,this is the same type of luxury you would never enjoy in India if tables were turned,then u travel abroad tomorrow and scream racism,why wouldn’t they treat u like a doormat when they can easily notice the inferiority complex written all over you over some not so white skin.

I can attest to the house rent point you raised. I wanted to give out my house at Ilupeju for rent. You need to see the way these very young dudes with questionable dressing and fancy cars were ready to dole out over 6 million for a 4 bedroom house even beating some Indians that wanted to get the house. My spirit just wasn't okay with them. Something about them just gave me the creeps. I ended up giving it to the Indians that work around Ilupeju.

That number u see there is the registration number ...the plane you posted is a Boeing 737

ChybuzzDD:


People of other nationalities have been begging for the authorities to allow them return since they've been fully vaccinated, while you are here crying about making vaccination a prerequisite.

Can you now understand why some people call Nigeria a Zoo?

If you're really passionate about travelling out, go and get yourself vaccinated.
With time, every country and airline will make it a prerequisite for travelling.

Movie budget cost 10 million and above, camera crew earns nothing less than 100k a month, actors earn between 200k to 1.5m for main actors and actresses, they pay for location, hotels and logistics all this money comes from Bank of Industry loan with interest yet you want him to be diplomatic

This is the reason why we cannot progress as a nation, we give too much importance to vain things...if the OP said that it's guava that is his problem why not just let him pluck it
