I don't blame them.... So they won't end up becoming mathematics teacher or class room teacher here
dominique: So most of them have japa'd, the brain drain is real. If only our leaders can give an enabling environment to our brilliant minds, they would still be here contributing their quota towards the growth of the country.
You better work hard and build your own house.... And forget what is gone

Hey! Stop it there.... The same Church and Mosque your parents always go to pray for you to succeed in life. Now that you can afford data subscription, you are here blabbing. Church or Mosque was never a problem, it is people like you who after benefited from the same organization goes online to discredit it.
Righthussle: Churches and mosques are a menace to humanity
nkemjacob2: I was surprised to see this filling station in Benin city selling fuel for as low as 670 when other filling stations sell high as 800 and above
We still have patriotic Nigerians
How much do you buy fuel in your environs.
GOD WILL BLESS THIS INDIVIDUAL FOR THIS WORK IF ACTUALLY FUEL HASN'T BEEN INCREASED OFFICIALLY
What concerns Religion about this now? It wasn't a church or mosque that put them on the boat without life jackets. Must you always attribute Nigeria problems to Religion?
edenex: We spend so m u.c h time on religion in this country sotey we come forget common sense
my lifestyle has always be different from public opinion... And you are asking the public for their opinion. You are not serious
Bullfallo: Not wanting to have a child isn’t a choice per say. I hate to put myself into pressure or do things just because others are doing it, my lifestyle has always be different from public opinion. In fact opposite of the popular views or majority behavior. I don’t send or give a Bleep what anyone think about me.
Example is that people live there live on public opinion. They create a life of public presentations just to please public and get validated but i am not of public views. I do my things the way it pleases before considering public.
If I have billions of dollars like dangote the choice might have been different. I don’t live a life of faith. I must have concrate evidence of things or resources before i made any vita decisions. I hate to borrow or beg. I live a life of comfort. I am rich and comfortable but not for many mouths. Because I don’t want to adjust resources from my lifestyle
The best gift you can give those kids is to reconcile with their mother.
oliverwrites: My daughters ( 3 of them ) have been through a lot this year. They are not used to daddy not being around ( Me and their mother are currently separated but I am hoping she would change and we would be back together ), so far the seem to be coping fine but I want to make this Christmas an awesome one for them and need gift ideas.
Please give me gift ideas.
I have a budget of 200k for each of them. This includes 100k each for their clothes and shoes for Christmas and New year.
And another 100k to buy them gifts they will like. They all have ulesson tablets so tablets are not options.
It's not about it being local or little. The Bread was gotten from Market Square super market. I just find it awkward giving bread to your son-in-law to be on the first meeting.
People still buy cars but more of Nigerian used cars
