The first episode looked promising but went downhill from there and once I start I try to fnish

I think 2 episodes I just skipped through

Has anyone watched the Series "Berlin" , the guy from "Money Heist". obainojazz Money heist is also a good show if you havent watched

I want to know if the Berlin show is good before I invest time

I stopped at season two…. Good movie

Abidoshaker is going to UK for a show…. UK people better attend cos na free comedy show

Many of these miscreants can be repurposed into something useful

Whether we like it or not, Kanu has a following and some people believe him like a god. You can pally Kanu give him food and make him control the people loyal to him while also using his loyal boys to snuff out the criminals

All them Tompolo Asari Gani Adams were miscreants on the level of Kanu before they exposed them to money and voice change

What the SE is losing in terms of business give Kanu 0.005% of that and he can be used to improve security
It won't be the first time govt all over the world is striking a deal with miscreants for the purpose of societal peace
Money answers many things

Well, let’s see if money can buy the man….

E don talk am finish.

When I landed here as a big boy from Naija, my office shoe na him I dey use go my factory work for Chicago, My colleague for work dey laugh me. Factory work 630pm to 630am, Lecture will start by 9am, Na to sleep inside train. I dey envy my friend wey get security jobs wey fit read all night and sleep small. People wey get cab job na Baba/chairman that time

One of my best friends currently. His first job in US he started from cashier at African store making $5 per hour cos the job sef na help and below minimum wage cos he no get paper, na where he dey sell phones on Craiglist na him I meet am, Now he makes over $1m a yr as a psychiatrist

Almost everyone go do dirty job before you find your feet

At least you tell people the hard times and what you’re enjoying now…. Most people just tell you abroad is terrible, make videos of them walking to work in snow or tornado but won’t come back to show you their progress in 5 years when chilling in heated vehicle

This man talks sense

OasisX:
.....he boldly said he can end it in 2mins. I believe he is gonna be released. Though he couldn't get bail as usual but Justice Nyako ruled that his case should be treated in time henceforth - no more unnecessary delay.

Tales from a tired man…. He fit even promise to vote APC next election at this point

raumdeuter:
Every movement will have rogue elements, Some have hijacked it for criminal intentions

What a Tinubu can do is release Kanu and make him his own Tompolo, there are some boys loyal to Kanu and the ideology, there are some who are criminals.
Govt can provide Kanu group tactical backing
Short term there will be bloodshed because of the Kanu group vs Criminals group until they wipe out the criminal side and have a deal with Kanu's group to control everyone

Do you think Nnamdi Kanu has the Tompolo spirit in him?
I blame Buhari for making him popular anyways…. Dude was worth £960 in the UK and all he had was bad mouth…. Now he’s some Jewish Igbo god.

Tinubu can free him but should never arm him…. that’s how things get from bad to worse.

OasisX:


.....MNK sef don tire of DSS Custody. Alaye was suing for peace in SE today at the court. He assured to end any violence or form of insecurity within few days if he is released.

Dude even called on the Government to arrest anyone causing unrest in the region. He called them Criminals and should be locked up.

They are criminals truly….. you are causing damages to the people that should support your cause and when they don’t sit at home, you attack some places.
I’m not sure Kanu release will stop those guys… they’re deep into criminality now and might not go back.

Range rover is definitely not an everyday car. It's not the caf to drive to work daily drive to market, drive to village

What’s the point if I can’t drive everyday and everywhere
Na truly rich man car

raumdeuter:
Which issues? I have always liked it but never had the money to buy it. This one I put the picture na $160k. So na bulk of Oyo state budget he go take or we take Islamic bank loan join

Also this 2024 model its mostly by order and they build it according to your specifications

Electrical faults, high maintenance cost and not as reliable as Lexus and Toyota.

raumdeuter:
I bought a 2016 GX460 in 2019, paid cash for it, this year there is a new body style for the GX, I might get it next yr.

Though I've always wanted a Range rover since I left Naija. I almost bought one for my 40th birthday but changed my mind last minute. Now new body style don come out but the price na only diggz or Oasisx type contract fit do am

Put me in your prayers. Make this favor me and my family

Diggz money
So you like Range Rover with all the issues they talk about.

larride:
Nigeria way of life never leave you.

Na only for Nigeria everything must be cash.

Nigerians no Dey ever change At least I usually go for used cars cos they are all same thing.
Prado has the same body shape since 2009…. The 2018 to 2023 look exactly the same outside and inside. 2013 to 2017 look the same as well.

It’s reasonable to go couple of years back when purchasing.

raumdeuter:
You have your answer there. I will say it depends on what Interest rate you get which determines how much you will be paying vs How much you think you can get as interest if you invest the money. (E.g. you pay 7% interest but can get 10% guaranteed if invested, then it makes sense to have money and pay minimum down payment)

Reality is that most times that returns you think you can get by investing might not turn out so(except you invest in govt notes) and you will still have a car loan

If you can, pay for the car. If not do a heavy down payment and prepare to pay the loan at an accelerated manner not just the minimum so that the amount of interest you pay is reduced

I prefer earning interest vs Paying interest (Plus the additional thing about peace of mind) Should you lose a job or fall on hard times, you don't have to worry about another monthly gbese to service

Na the way I see am be that But I've been told by some people that I dey reason like say na our parents generation I dey

The bolded makes sense and I might just do that.
Interest on savings account is about 4.3% while interest paid on car finance is 9 to 10%.
I need a car that’ll take me the next 7 to 10 years which is why I need to change my 2014 model…. The current market value is just too low and I fear the worse

raumdeuter:
That will depend on the cost price of the car. and how old the car is Most brand new cars depreciate by 20% first year and 15% after

The Accountant thing is not to buy a new car, buy like 3-4yrs old, when the value might have reduced by 50% then rock it

But as per say you be chairman you no fit dey ride used car, So tear rubber all the way like that Toyota Highlander wey you use send funlord away

50K Pounds car na agba baller car. Thats a $65k. I guess mid range might be 35k and below

Would you recommend cash or finance for your dream car or mix of both?
I’m all for cash but I don’t see why one should put all that money for a car.

seankafor:
I remembered when I was contemplating how it'd be like making my firdt million in naira, does days I used to fantasize when I see posts and threads on nairaland asking people hiw tjeu feel when theu firdt made their first millions..

Well now, I think 💬 maybe because the value of millions has reduced unlike then when you can still do much with it..

We all dreamt of our first million in Naira but 1 mill value of then is like 10 million now

Good times

Top 10 things that never happened

We don't have a failed Governor causing nuisance after losing the Presidential election.

As usual, default back to the same detritus 😵‍💫

We have already seen enough confidential memos getting leaked. Only a foolish person will appoint a chef from his enemy's camp, to cook his food.

Ladies and Gentlemen…. This man is in Canada, the land where you vote who you want and it won’t affect your job prospects. 🫢

BlueRayDick:
I checked the lady's LinkedIn and I see she ticks the box of who can actually call " technocrat " in the real sense of it. I believe whoever recommended her in the presidency means well.

Now the fact that her nomination was pushed and then about to be withdrawn shows there are people in the presidency who value politicking more than actually keep the country going .

If Bosun who actually had "not so nice words " for Tinubu in the past got a ministerial job, it leaves less to be desired that forces are working against this woman and they are even doing it when cat has already been let out of the bag.

If na only APC members or supporters they want to get appointed into key government posts , then we can as well conclude that Tinubu's government has failed before it even started .

Airmark will be quiet as usual
