Common men do it! Do they charge an arm and a leg?

How much will a travel agent charge you that’s not worth the convenience?

So you think everyone has the time to be filling forms and booking tickets.

If a professional can do, why should I add it to my task!

of course common men do it. And a lot of common men get their application refused.

HacheNoire:
Do you know celebs and the wealthy don’t apply for visa personally.

Try to listen to Abdul Samad Rabiu’s interview about expired visa on arriving to airport. He doesn’t even know and blamed other people for such.

50 cent also stated in one interview that he does not remember when last he did anything on travels.

It is a norm to outsource your travel plans.

Are u a celebrity?
Why should a famous celebrity struggle to travel when he is already well known and the visa officer faces lesser stress in vetting him/her? Na wa for you ooo.

I am talking about a common man, a nobody trying to travel to better his life and u are comparing the scenario with celebrities like burna boy, Davido, dangote etc.

are they your mates?

You might as well take a gun and shoot them. What you did to them could lead to death.

anyone who steals from struggling farmers deserve every bad thing

Rebuker:
Two men allegedly caught stealing peppers from a farm were reportedly forced to sit on the ground and eat the raw hot peppers they were accused of stealing, washing them down with dry gin.

The man in the safety vest is visibly struggling, his face twisted in pain as he sweats through every bite. The other man, in a blue shirt, is trying to hold himself together, but it's clear both are enduring intense discomfort.

Judging by the comments, tomorrow may be even worse for them. One person joked about a "volcanic eruption," referring to the inevitable aftermath.

It's another example of jungle justice—creative, harsh, and, to some, a deterrent against would-be thieves. However, it's worth remembering that such punishments are extrajudicial and can easily become abusive, regardless of the accusation.

who is the idiot in the background saying they should not eat the peppers? That person must be a thief too. If u know the pain and the risk farmers face in raising crops and livestock in Nigeria, then u must agree that stealing from them should be punishable by hanging

HacheNoire:
Travel agency’s have been in business since the beginning of travels. Not everyone has that time or knowledge of going through requirements and applications.

It’s norms and point should be using registered and accredited ones with vast years of experience.

Believe it or not. Travel agencies are the reason for many refusals….,,especially when u are actually qualified for what u are applying for. I mean fully qualified and have all the requirements.

Originalsly:
Hmmm ... people need to be careful of what they say online ... a visa can be revoked.

I'm still finding it difficult to understand why someone with a solid secondary school background would pay an agent to apply for a visa. I'm sure these agents are the cause of many being denied visas. There is nothing complicated in a visa application ...everything is is spelled out

exactly bro.

People keep talking about visa denial……I can’t even relate. I and my family have never been denied any application in our japa journey so far, and we always do everything ourselves. We don’t use agents. We simply do our homework, ensure we are qualified for what we are applying for and then carefully prepare our application. E no too hard.

Dpharmacist:
A post by a Nigerian nurse recently caught my attention. She shared how her first salary in 2022 was just ₦21,000. After resigning from that job, she attended interviews at a specialist hospital only to be offered ₦23,000 for 12 hour shifts, a heavy patient workload, and demanding working conditions. She declined the offer and eventually accepted another position that paid modestly but treated her with dignity.

Whether every hospital pays this poorly is another discussion. Some government hospitals and well established private facilities pay significantly far more. However, it is no secret that many private hospitals across Nigeria have been accused of paying nurses wages that barely cover transportation while expecting them to work long hours under intense pressure.

The bigger issue is not just the salary.

Many nurses complain about being overworked, verbally abused, assaulted by patients or their relatives, and threatened with dismissal whenever they speak up. Add poor pay, staff shortages, and the rising cost of living, and it becomes easier to understand why so many Nigerian nurses are leaving the country.

The consequences affect all of us.

When experienced nurses leave, the remaining ones have to care for more patients. Burnout increases. Waiting times become longer. Medical errors become more likely. Eventually, patients also suffer.

No healthcare system can thrive if the people keeping it running are exhausted, underpaid, and undervalued.

Supporting nurses does not mean ignoring the challenges hospitals face. Healthcare facilities also deal with rising operating costs. However, expecting highly trained professionals to shoulder enormous responsibilities for wages that cannot sustain a decent standard of living is not a sustainable solution.

Healthcare workers deserve fair pay, safe working conditions, protection from workplace violence, and opportunities for professional growth. Patients also deserve motivated healthcare professionals who can give their best without constantly worrying about survival.

Nigeria cannot build a stronger healthcare system while treating its frontline workers as disposable.

What do you think? Should there be a minimum wage standard specifically for nurses and other healthcare professionals working in private hospitals?

I don’t believe the story. Not in the 2022, definitely not today.
In 2022, I was paying my farm hand 30000 a month. If I were still running that farm today, my conscience will not let me pay him less than #80,000 even when I am not making profit.

Except the poster is a secondary school drop out claiming a nursing qualification that does not exist, it is not possible that a hospital in Nigeria will see to pay a qualified nurse 21k in 2022.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT

Afrojuju2017:
But what is the point of a chartered accountant that is not legally liable, can she even be sued to court as an adult for professional misconduct.

She has passed her ICAN but I doubt she'll be able to work as a chartered accountant till she is 18 and then which company would employ someone who doesn't have at least a bachelor's degree.

I wrote exactly the same thing. I thought other pple will say I have bad belle. I am glad a lot of people here are also seeing this in the same way.

Anyway, I became a chartered accountant at 24, about 3yrs after I graduated from university. The combo opened doors for me real fast

“How I failed, rewrote the exam and qualified at 16” — Nigeria’s youngest chartered accountant


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0W3y0z4SyY?si=-UO6Qy95d36RPyq6

Congratulations. But how do one finish secondary school at 13 years?
Also, what is the benefit of getting an ICAN qualification which you cannot use until graduate from a university?

I feel this is a waste of time and lack of strategic vision by the parents. Those 3 years could have easily been spent learning and perfecting a craft or……..since the parents had cash to fund ICAN exams……. They could have encouraged her to seek for other high impact IT certifications to achieve. U can always write ICAN exams side by side with your university exams and by the time u graduate with a degree and the certification, u will have a better labour market appeal.

PRESS RELEASE

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE

5 July 2026

I agree with you Mr Taiwo Oyedele, You are one of the major role models I looked up when I started my career 20 years ago. (Not sure if I should still see u as a role model today since u are now a politician.)

However, I think the IMF is not talking about expenditures from reported revenue, but rather, about expenditures from revenue that was never reported. We are talking about revenue from waec fees, jamb fees, school fees and other charges from the hundreds of federal and state tertiary institutions out there, illegal and unapproved taxes and levies collected by and sometimes on behalf of various federal and state govt agencies. Trust me, if you add up the sum, it is probably more than 2% of GDP

Juliette5803:
So from where was the staff of the scam organization getting their salaries from?
They didn't mention the website hosted on government domain
He even hosted top government dignitaries including foreigners
Got approval for 300 staffs including assistant directors
How was he lucky and smart all these while
If it was an illegal agency.....why did the FG wait for so long to issue that statement
They shot themselves in the foot with that press statement, no individual opens account with the CBN, IF you know the kind of scrutiny documents go through before approval at CBN, CBN is a highly regimented organization
Even getting memos to represent Nigeria
Whoever is behind this man and this "scam" must be influential

Exactly what I was saying. This guy is fake, but he obviously has the backing of someone powerful enough to get both the CBN and the OAGF to turn a blind eye to the obvious anomaly. Only someone with the powers of an SGF or a chief of staff can achieve that easily.

Femi Gbajabiamila is telling us less than he knows

ChristoBam:
Also the phone stopped charging two times at 80 percent. Saying it'll contain charging after the phone temperature calms down a bit. That ever happened to your phones?

that’s normal. It is a fail safe measure to protect the phone. Restore it now

ChristoBam:
Hello guys, I just got an iPhone 12 pro max UK used from a vendor. Thing is I've never really used an iPhone in recent years so I don't know if some tgings are normal.

My phone geta hot after short use. Not super hot that it's uncomfortable. But really hot that you notice. If in using Whatsapp, after a while it gets a bit warm. After playing COD twice, it gets noticeable hot.



Is this normal?

get reformat the phone to factory settings using a PC. Don’t restore ur apps from iCloud backup if u have one. Just redownload them from AppStore

U09ce:
Easier said than done. Mr Oyedele will now get to really know who politicians are. What is happening to federal budget pass the power of a single minister. Infact, it'll take the president some big guts to curtail the abuse from his own end and that of the legislature.

i know oyedele personally. He taught me almost 20 years ago when I was preparing to write ICAN exams. He is a good man, he is a smart man and definitely a round peg in a round hole for that job.
However, this job will be a true test of character and integrity for him. Nigerian politics is not your mate, it will change u

helinues:
Dropping to N1000 when it has been around N1300- N1400 for a year plus will cause speculation which will lead to market instability

The dropping should be gradual. That margin of N300+ drop suddenly will cause lose for so many business people

makes a lot of sense

Rapmoney:
A Nigerian woman has made a video, accusing Nigerian Minister of Works, David Nweze Umahi of owing her the sum of 250 million Naira for contracts for the past 12 years, and has refused to pay her because she rejected his request for a relationship.

The video was made before she was arrested by the police on the order of Mr Umahi. She has been taken to Abuja, and has insisted that David Umahi was intimidating her.

Political activist, Omoleye Sowore has also accused David Umahi of using government power to intimidate citizens over personal issues. Sowore accosted Umahi at the police headquarters yesterday while Umahi had arranged with police for the woman to be presented, where he ended up threatening her. There were altercations between Mr Sowore and security personnel of the minister.

The allegation that David Umahi ordered a woman’s arrest over a long-standing debt dispute has intensified scrutiny of arrest practices in Nigeria. If courts exist to adjudicate debt claims, why resort to arrest? Does influence determine how quickly the police act?… pic.twitter.com/wKAbKDozT6

— News Central TV (@NewsCentralTV) February 25, 2026

first of all, this is ridiculous. Without absolving the past governor from anything I have some questions here what did she sell to the past govenor for 250m? Does she have a contract? Does she have an invoice? Assuming she executed a contract for the state govt, govt is a continuum and she is owed by the government and not the governor.

Finally if her allegations is confirmed, then I think Dave Umahi has a very poor taste in choice of mistresses.

DeepSight:
This has to be carefully read. Section 228 of the Criminal Code reads -

​"Any person who, with intent to procure miscarriage of a woman whether she is or is not with child, unlawfully administers to her or causes her to take any poison or other noxious thing, or uses any force of any kind, or uses any other means whatever, is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years."

This is open to interpretation.

Exactly. It is open to several interpretations. I have frequently heard of medically recommended abortions, it is common when a woman has health issues that would make carrying a baby to term to be fatal for her.
Now that is a loop hole a lot of doctors can use to legalise abortion.

fuckingAyaya:
Ola of lagos started like that today he owns several properties worth millions of dollars. Not everyone will make it through certificates or business, Nigeria don cast the youths are angry and frustrated they solely depend on social media money like Facebook and tiktok all thanks to the wicked leaders that never invested in human capital. Have you been to an embassy before? Go there you will shed tears.

the likes of Ola of Lagos, Peller, portable etc reminds me of the gullibility of Nigerians. We usually manage to make stupid people famous

SoftSport:
Paid Igbo youths disguising as Yorubas all in a bid to paint a false narrative that the Yorubas are free in Igbo land... DOA.

sense is far from you.

I recognize many people in those photos. They are all yorubas. Of course a lot of igbos who grew up in lagos and enjoy the Yoruba culture will join them here to make merry.

If I was in Owerri, I would definitely be there

njokuuche77:
It’s definitely possible, but it takes a lot of intentional planning, patience and calmness.
My wife tends to shout too in the mornings, and I notice it affects everyone. I started to involve myself by prepping uniforms and school bags the night before, setting alarms earlier, and using calm music or helping out in the kitchen.
This helped alot.

Children respond better when things are not rushed. It's not easy, but with some teamwork and consistency, it can be done."

I agree with this. However it is not always possible to do things without rushing. My second son will wake up early but will play around and do every other nonsense rather than preparing for school.

My daughter will have to be begged, screamed at, cajoled and bribed to get off the bed and get onto the bathroom. And all the while I am trying to coordinate them to bathe and get ready, I am also juggling the preparation of breakfast for them and packing lunch for them. And I need to bath and get to work too. E no funny. And I am a man ooo

Mariangeles:
Start by helping her get the kids ready for school.
Your wife is not crazy, she's overwhelmed.

Is that so hard to understand?

the only sensible comment so far.

Here in diaspora, I am obliged to help get my kids ready for school everyday. Trust me, it is not funny. I finally understood why my wife was always screaming.

But your NEPO no ryhme nah. Numerous (good) Access when the letter there is E. So find our E for us o

that's the problem boss. I stay in the far away east. I can't afford to stay a week in Benin like this. The cost and cost will be too much on me

look for people like falz, daddy freeze, VDM, berekete radio to grant u 3 minutes of video interview and post it on their page. Na VC go call you.

But make sure u are completely faultless from all angles or else….. you will just go and buy jamb form again

[quote author= post=136128742]Nigerians have a long way to go, maybe religion and culture has removed logical common sense thinking ability. This is so simple scenario to analyze yet many nigerians out of emotion or lack of enlightenment cannot choose the correct way.

In a society where children are placed as financial providers for their parents will experience a disordered, corrupt, crime infested, retrogressive result BECAUSE it will breed more irresponsible parents (older generation) who are supposed to be the elders/leaders of the society.


Our Education in this country is indeed useless. (Taking care physically of an aged parent is different from providing financially for the same parent)[/quote]Family values bro. Pure and simple.

If u have and ur parents don’t have, then u have to give them. It is an obligation. If u don’t get this simple logic, then I am so sorry for you

Nnamdipapa:
They don't understand how obligations work. I have kids who don't owe me a dime. I owe them to be successful in life because I brought them into this. I wonder how this simple concept is hard for the average Nigerian to grasp.

That does not mean you don't help your parent but it is not a debt.

No good parent will expect you to help them financially if u can’t afford it or if they clearly don’t need the help. But if the reverse is the case, bros take care of your parent

Nnamdipapa:
They don't understand how obligations work. I have kids who don't owe me a dime. I owe them to be successful in life because I brought them into this. I wonder how this simple concept is hard for the average Nigerian to grasp.

It is not a debt. But it is still an obligation, as long as you are able to help them and as long as u can see that they need your help.

This is not negotiable. If u have money, help your parents. If they had not raised you, u won’t be alive not to mention having this weird opinion

DenreleDave:
But you owe your wife and your wife family Abi

Men like you ignore your family and take care of Ur wife own

when situation becomes dire, that guy will even abandon wife and kids.

His statement comes from a heart filled with selfishness

[quote author= post=136118566]You are correct.
Nigerians are the most hypocritical creatures on earth I have seen. They want Nigeria to change but they don't want to change their retrogressive habits and culture.

The Wise and responsible parents don't expect anything from their kids because they know it is not their right. The kids can decide to support their parents out of goodwill. Many irresponsible parents bring out kids just to suffer them perpetually and people support this.
I have seen many parents with retirement plan and that is how it should be and not to depend on children. They didn't force the parents to be born.
Depending on kids and pushing them to crime is one of the ills of the society which is rampant in Nigeria. It's even written in the Bible that a good parent should leave inheritance down to the grandchildren.[/quote]Oga if u are broke and cannot help ur parents financially, everyone understands. But at least there are many other ways to help them.

But if u can afford it and u let ur parents suffer, my dear, something is very wrong with ur upbringing. Even Oyibo wey dem train well does not joke with their parents

ediko5:
You're definitely suffering from the trauma of lack of parental love in your life. It's obvious you've not really experience parental love.

Allow us that have been showered with sweet parental love to also reciprocate same with joy the same way a Yahoo boy dey see joy in throwing money in clubs and spending on his girls 😂😁

Well said.

No African who benefited from good parenting and parental love will ever say this nonsense that the OP said.

Hell!!!!, even non-African don’t joke with their parent welfare

I no blame the guy. His mind is twisted by some sort of trauma he faced

OKOATA:
Why don't you trick her and the kids to Nigeria then, just seize her passport and forget her or better still just tell her you lost your job and you will be staying at a friend's place for the mean time. That way you can know what to do by staying with a friend or whatever to observe the situation. Tell her you also lost all you had to a business or something like that. That will show you her true colours so prepare for the worse.

I like this plan. let the op tell her he lost his job and then temporarily move out to another location. let us see if she will not carry the expenses by force.

in abroad. Remaining married is a team work. I financed 90% of our relocation myself.
me and my wife does not have a defined contribution pattern. we just have an unspoken understanding.
I pay the rent and buy some little groceries. she buys the major groceries and pays insurance, power, internet etc.
But, aside from the rent, we managed to get a pretty good deal on all the other bills. we also shop for groceries in a way that minimises cost (we know where everything is sold cheaper).
That way, we both manage to keep some savings in our individual accounts. But because the rent is more than 2/3 of our monthly expense, she still gets to save more than I do from her total income. I also let her keep all the government cheques we get.

You need to get your wife to contribute. If she refuses, u should intentionally leave out some bills ....like grocery bills for her to pay. lets see what she will do.

but just make sure it is fair.
