[s][/s] Shut the fvck up. Nigerians don't pay taxes ,but over here, we do that all day ,every fvcking day, and you know why ? Because the system is built to keep the rich in check while the poor remain average. And that's something that eats very deep into your savings and earning potential , especially if you're a middle-income earner .

But besides all this , when was the last time you took into account things like electricity bills, community tax and other services that are paid in the UK ? Have you thought about that on 4k pounds ? Please do that before sending me more ludicrous statements

The fact that you even had to insult that guy for making a valid point, makes one wonder how some people even reason.

So you're saying people in Nigeria dont pay bills? What sort of ignorance is this? Do you know how much it cost to fuel a diesel generator for 12 hours a day? Do you even have a clue how much a unit of electricity cost in Nigeria today? Do you know that in Nigeria you literally pay for your own security and pay to fix the roads leading to your gate? No comfortable person in Nigeria risks going to govt hospitals when sick; do you have a clue how much it cost to be treated in a decent private hospital in Nigeria?

I'm a tech bro, I currently do 1.5M Monthly in Nigeria and I just got a job offer last month in the UK for 4K pounds monthly(after tax)

My guys there be complaining about bills and how hard it is to save and all over there

So, If you were me, which would you pick and why?

Modified: will also like to hear from those in the UK; what do you think guys?...Now that you know how it is over there, what would you advice?

@lalasticlala...please help push to front page for more engagements

£4k monthly AFTER TAX is a massive massive amount of money in the UK. You will be very comfortable and would be better off than if not over 80% of 9-5 workers in the UK.

Even if the £4k were before tax, you would still be better off than over 50% of UK 9-5 workers.

What exactly is N1.5m in Nigeria? There's no basis for that sort of comparison at allm

Cant imagine how he'sshe's destroying English language in that presentation.

How does this Omokri think he's making any sense here.

He's actually making a lot of sense to a certain group of people with a certain kind of mindset and intelligence level.

Mrshape:
The conversation was going well until I told her I am a teacher then the fast reply stop o only God know if she even block me. Lol I wan die for laugh.
Kings always be careful many of them no like u o them only like what comes with you

Your reward is in heaven bro...

This by far has to be the dumbest attempt at calumny by Reno. Abeg what does the man pointing his hand behind Tinubu signify?

Or perhaps I'm the dumbest guy here for being the only one who doesnt see the 'evidence' in the video?

When will Reno and PDP learn that 'pulling down opponents' with slander is not and will hardly ever be effective in Nigerian politics? Things like this rather only make the candidate even more popular amongst people who never really wanted him. I guess the political strategy of being obsessed with your opponent 99% of the time must have worked really well for Reno in 2015 and 2019.

udemzeus:
How far, now this is almost ten years, how has it been so far with Buhari

Buhari may have failed as a leader, but that does not invalidate anything I said there; every single thing I said in that statement you quoted is still valid till date.

The crowd of people wailing about the north, north and north on this thread should please save us the noise. Is the north not a part of Nigeria? The last time I checked, the only existing railway built by this administration is in the SW, and with the time left, the Lagos-Ibadan rail will end up being the only railway built in 8 years by this admin. Anything else is just but a proposal in paper.

For people talking about the SE, the railways with connect all of Nigeria in due course; it clearly cant all be done in a day:

- OBJ (SW) built the first standard gauge rail between Warri (SS) and Ajaokuta (NC). No one called for or is calling for OBJ's head for not building it in their region.
- GEJ (SS) built the second standard gauge rail in Nigeria between Abuja (NC) and Kaduna (NW). Similarly, no one called or is calling for GEJ's head for not building it in their region, and neither is anyone accusing GEJ of marginalising anyone.
- PMB (NW) has just built one, just one standard gauge rail between Lagos (SW) and Ibadan (SW) and all hell is let loose with lamentations on why he isnt building rails in all regions of Nigeria at the same time.

And for those accusing Amaechi of not diverting a railway to PH as though he is the president of Nigeria, can Amaechi really do anything other than what his boss has asked him to do?

AmazonTopaz:
Oh please I an tired of hearing this crap I am an adult with a brain and I can decide for myself tell me how Russia in this context are the good guys and the West are the bad ones I will wait sinceyou are not the one who is blinded by propaganda

Lol... I never said anyone was the good guy; the world as you know it was and is still a jungle and in the jungle, there're no rules - only the string thrives. What we have here are 2 powerful authoritarian dictatorships exercising their might. What I detest is how one of these nations always finds a way to hypocritically convince you and the rest of the world that they're law abiding saints, yet they're far more guilty of the 'dictatorship' they claim to denounce

The US was very instrumental to the balkanisation of the former USSR; it was never about giving anyone independence, rather was strictly about weakening the strength of their greatest competitors. The Russians have simply been fighting to get back their lost territory.

AmazonTopaz:
He is not smart you people should wake up it was never about NATO.

Putin wants the soviet union back and if he gets Ukraine he is coming for other former states of the USSR.

If the US and its allies don't respond swiftly and stop deceiving themselves about diplomacy Putin is going to invade sovereign nations because he does not believe in their right to exist that is dictatorship nobody should laud this

Funny how western media propaganda has moulded the minds of most people to view the US and its allies as 'saints and saviours' whilst viewing Russia as villains. What is Russia doing today that isnt done daily by the US? Meanwhile the so called 'soveriegn' territory Russia is invading today, I thought those places were former Soviet territories which the US helped to breakaway not too long ago?

Wonderful!

Politician mode activated; sickness after arrest!

Omotosho1090905:
A SPIRITUALLY MATURED PROGRESSIVE WIFE cannot slap the husband. BUT if you are a man and you are UNFORTUNATE and your wife slaps you, measured response. Oga, don’t do anything. Carry your cloth, go out of the house.


“IF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT IS FAR FROM YOU, do one Our Father, three Haile Maries, go and take ONE bottle of Hero. When you take ONE bottle of Hero, you calm down, you hear? Measured response. You begin to consult with the Holy Spirit, what do I do? You will get a response."

I think this pastor is explanatory enough but only the wise can understand

One doesn't even need to be wise or intelligent to get the message. Those who don't understand the message deliberately chose to misunderstand it cos they despise the messenger.

Bobbyrhyno:
that is a wrong advice from a man of God. what if he drinks and come back home to start beating the wife under the influence of alcohol?

He said "1 bottle of HERO". If you get drunk on one bottle, then you probably deserved that slap in the first place. Also, if you go out there and take this as an excuse to do 10 bottles instead of 1, your drunkenness was self inflicted, not the preacher's fault.

Mercychen:
That old woman is clearly a racist and I hope she gets punished for her wicked acts.

The black lady should leave there before either of them commits murder. Let her get another job. This one right here is slavery.

MVLOX:
Old white racist

Racism? Nothing in the video really suggests that the old woman's actions were because of the carer's race. This looks like pure dementia!

I Won’t Tolerate Politicising #FreeLeahSharibu The Way Oby Ezekwesili Politicised #BringBackOurGirls

Aidejay:
Why Has Reno Omokri Been Insulting And Shading Oby Ezekwesili Of Recent. Last Time He Called Her Ugly Now He Is Shading Her Again.
Maybe Something Transpired Between Them We Are Not Privy To.

The very same Reno who repeatedly insulted Oby Ezekwesili for daring to call on GEJ's govt to do something about the kidnapped Chibok girls, the very same Reno who kept insinuating that no girls were kidnapped in Chibok; all of a sudden, the moment his principal (GEJ) lost power and he lost his source of bread, Reno instantly became overnight activist and advocate for kidnapped girls. Reno is now chief advocate for Leah Sharibu and of all humans in the world, he's the one talking about not politicising innocent lives? Wonderful! There's no level of shamelessness we wouldn't see from these divisive political charlatans.

It's actually the people who gather in line to take this crook seriously that I pity.

61, so this means Anyim was elected senator as 38 and senate president at 38? Wow!

gwafaeziokwu:
It was those principalities and powers that handed over licence to EEDC in 2015 when they already know that Geometric Power have a pre-existing license for the Aba axis. Thereby creating unnecessary confusion and delays in turning Aba into the massive industrial hub it should be.

Thanks to the tenacity of Barth Nnaji. Now ndi Aba can smile.

Unfortunately, those principalities never get tired; they fight day and night even whilst we sleep.

Hallelluia!!!! Let's hope they work efficiently and prove to the world that Nigeria can actually have good power supply if the right people are given the opportunity. Let's hope the principalities and powers that have held the nation in perpetual darkness do not rear their ugly heads again.

Oyinbo women dealing with foolish African men. First eboue, now eto!!

Woman looks black.

athaboi:
I pity Nigeria....who gave FCTA the power to clear a criminal case like this...are they police or intelligent agency?? Nigeria is cursed and it will never be redeemed! Jafaar Mohammed re looted 10billion out of 13billion recovered loots and you think there's hope for Nigeria??

So because she's in possession of 500k, you believe she's automatically a criminal? Was she caught in any crime? No, but you believe it's a criminal case? Wonderful reasoning!

Perhaps you too must be a criminal that needs to be investigated by the police or intelligence agencies for being in possession of internet data which you've used in typing your accusations.

Conman receiving a standing ovation from fellow conmen...

theenchanter:
don't get it wrong. Nigerians are not making noise because the rail-line leads to Niger republic but because Nigeria will build/finance the rail-line to Niger republic territory, Maradi.

I believe this bridge u posted ends at the border between Nigeria and Cameroon, unlike the rail-line that extends about 40km into Niger.

Truth of the matter is that that extra 40km into Niger wouldnt have been an issue if the president wasnt chronically tribal. Yes Nigeria is building the railway, but it will be used mainly by Niger to access the seaport in Lagos. Niger will have to pay to use the rail and will have to pay to use the Nigerian seaport (currently I believe they use Cotonou port which is closer by road, but if there's a rail, they will tilt towards Lagos). Economically, there will be benefits to Nigeria for building that 40 km stretch, but I personally wouldn't have prioritised it considering the ethnic nature of Nigeria.

He was Okoroawusa even while in APGA so shove your lies up your uretha

Story for the gods... You should be telling this your lame fable only to your kids.

BeardedmeatR:
Ok can you then crawl back to the hole you came out from you frustrated imolite?

Hmmm... You know it's really tricky figuring out what your problem is. Can't tell if you're just a pained frustrated fellow or a dumb person or maybe just a mannerless child playing with the mum's phone.

A stranger jumps into my mentions from nowhere, totally uninvited, calls me a liar and claims to know where I'm from even better than I do. And when I question the audacity of this silliness, he asks me to crawl back to my hole; a rat crawls out a hole and asks the home owner to crawl into a hole? Is there really an end to the kind of madness we witness on this forum?

BeardedmeatR:
The joke is on you.

Huh? You mean YOU are on me? God forbid!

Even thought your last comment was a mistake; didnt know the mistake was a person and not the comment.

BeardedmeatR:
You are ijaw. Just so you watch your lying buccal cavity.

Please stop embarassing yourself.

emsco91:
Are you imo state indegine? if you No, you have no say on this.

I dont have to be an Imo state indigene to understand the politics of Imo state; one would really think this is common sense but I wonder why Nigerians keep whipping up this flawed logic. But then again, YES, I'm an indigene of Imo state!

emsco91:
Remember that rochas won re-election under the party APC while pdp won that of the presidential. igbos voted rochas not the party. but immediately he deviated from his mandate, they began to hate. An ordinary igbo man does not want to know who you are, if you do rubbish, you go collect straight up.

Story for the gods... The primary reason Rochas was hated was cos of his party affiliation. Every other thing followed later. The hatred for Rochas started instantly from the moment he switched parties. But that's even by the way; the main point here is that Rochas was deeply hated by many and that explains why the tribal sentiment card wasn't thrown up when he was being hounded.

Hello Nairalanders, it’s your girl Ms Travelin Diva!

Part 1 of my trip to Spain. First stop is Malaga!

I booked this trip super last minute and didn’t know what to expect, however, many times these are the most memorable vacations and surely this was no different!

We stayed at the AC Marriott Malaga which was comfortable, clean and very central. Its a 4* by European standards and they have one of the best rooftop bars in the city. In fact here are the best rooftop bars in Malaga:

La Terraza de la Alcazaba
La Terraza del Chinitas
Roommate Valeria
AC Marriott Malaga Palacio
La Terraza de San Juan
La Piscina Lounge
Hotel Mariposa Lounge

“The Pharmacy” is a very nice speakeasy and should not be missed if you’re into craft cocktails or an upscale bar experience!

Malaga is very walkable so no need to rent a car. They have a very good transportation system, and Uber and taxis are everywhere and cheap.

To start our trip, we did a private food and wine tour through We Love Malaga which I highly recommend. I found them on Tripadvisor. Do it early (as soon as you arrive or day 2) so that you get a good “lay of the land”. They took us behind the scenes, to the Markets and to Tapas Bars that we would have never experienced and more likely missed had we ventured on our own. This definitely was a highlight of our stay.

The Mercado (market) is also a must, great food, tapas, wines, fresh fruit, veggies, drinks, etc., and very reasonable.

Alcazaba (Roman Ruins) is beautiful and if you go in the evening the cost is free.

You can see the entire city from the top of Gilbralforo Castle and if you’re not wanting to hike it (it’s about a steep 15-20 minute walk) just hop on Bus 35 and it will take you to the top.

Places we really enjoyed eating and were noteworthy at was: El Pimpi, Alcazabar, Lo Güeno, Los Gatos, Mesón Mariano, Refectorium Catedral, Cortijo de Pepe, Mercado de Atarazanas, Taberna García, Los Marangos, and Palacortado

We did a 45 minute Horse & Carriage Tour throughout the city which was amazing and inexpensive (30 euros). They are set up along the Port.

Malaga is on the sea and has amazing white sand beaches (all are public), Malagueña is the closest to the center of Malaga but they have several other beaches within 10-15 minutes of the city center which will take your breath away!

Few tips/notations: they eat late in Spain, I’m talking lunch at 2p, Tapas at 7p and dinner at 10p. Spanish wine is cheaper than water and their wine is actually very good! Easily can get a nice glass of wine or a beer for 2 or 3 euros. Pack wine sleeves so you can bring a bottle or six (lol) back home. You will find great wine under $10 euros easily!

We did not get to visit the Picasso museum but I’ve heard that it’s awesome, so I’ll to see for myself next time. I was todays years old when I found out Picasso was born in Malaga.

Weather was absolutely gorgeous this time of year high 60’s (F) clear skies and sunny!

Whew lots of details but I wanted to share it all because Malaga is a beautiful city/beach town…I just wish I had an extra day or two there.

FYI, applying for a Schengen visa from the US takes about 2 weeks to process (from application to issuance, applied and was approved and received the visa within 10 days with normal processing) and is relatively easy.

If you want to see more in-depth pics and videos of my trip, please check out my Instagram @mstravelindiva_ lots more details there.

First set of pictures is sunset and sunrise above the clouds, gorgeously magical!

Stayed tuned for Spain Part 2: Toledo and Madrid!

Happy Travels!

Beautiful and sharp pictures! What kind of camera did you use?

emsco91:
When OUK was convicted by the court, we rejoiced and applauded their jurisdiction. when rochas was been chased around by uzodinma, we assited in the chase because we kno say okoroacha na theif. we no de side nonsense.
If you want to convicted obi cubana because he's friend to kyari, we no go take am o. you will need to show us evidence that he coluded with kyari.

The only reason we didnt have shallow minded people defending Rochas then was because Rochas was already hated severely by many Igbos for no other reasons than for being in the APC and fraternising with northerners. Does the name 'Okoroawusa' ring a bell? Rochas was already public enemy number 1 to the very same shallow minded folks who would have defended him based on tribe.
