You forget ambulance in USA is not free and very expensive some people prefer to suffer than to call ambulance on them.
just one question, which option do you think the billionaire in my writeup would have chosen
1) die on the way to the hospital from bayelsa to rivers state
2) pay for the ambulance

if you are abroad
do your scholarship
pursue your PR
do what took you there
and STOP advising people about anything. just keep shut.

the hundreds of thousands of people crossing the sahara, crossing the seas, illegally (because they dont know any better) aren't stupid!

you are African in Europe/Americas, it means you relocated or someone in your lineage left Africa. SOMEONE LEFT!!!

STORY 2
my neighbors son was robbed last month, august 2023,
he was fortunate to reach out to me, and others, and we were able to inform the police to go to his estate
this was around 1am

the police went to the estate,
arrested everybody in the estate,
in the middle of the night
accused the tenants of having an insider amongst there midst
threatened to shoot them all if they don't confess
beat them all mercilessly

we bailed him that night for 150k.
we bailed the person that called the police for help, for 150k
the others who couldn't pay slept in station for days

STORY 3
in 2019, i was robbed in my house,
my phone was stolen
i hid my drone and other valuables
the phone was worth about 60k
i went to the police station (kala police station, ikwerre road)
the police asked me for 100k to 'start investigations'
i was perplexed, and queried the reason behind this
the police threatened to 'deal with me' and arrest me for making 'false report'
a state commissioner came into the police station with some people he had arrested with his personal police security
all the police men left me to hail him, he dropped some money for them as well as the people he arrested
i ran out of the police station

STORY 4
the former governor of bayelsa state. alameseigha, a multi billionaire died in UPTH
because they had to drive him a very long distance to the hospital, if i remeber correctly, from bayelsa to rivers state
a billionaire!
for something that in 'the abroad', an ambulance would have been ready in minutes,
he drove for hours

STORY 5
when we had my 2nd child, she fell ill at 4days and we rushed her to UPTH Uniport
we stayed there for about 2 weeks at SCBU
i saw a man and his wife lose one of their twins, and a cleaner, not a doctor, not a nurse, a cleaner
came out and met the man with a list of things to buy fro the pharmacy and said
oga one pikin don die, go buy these things before the 2nd pikin die
i knelt down at the car park that night and cried to God that nothing should ever take me to any teaching hospital in Nigera

i saw mothers abused, cursed by doctors and nurses
these same doctors will travel abroad and behave completely differently

this is in response to this post that made front page today: https://www.nairaland.com/7834477/japa-fever-among-nigerian-youths


story 1:
i had an uncle who always complained about his job.
he worked in an oil company.
he told me to pursue my dreams (i used to be a music producer in the university) and how life is not all about making money
he complained he didn't have time for his family and how we wishes he could spend time with his children
he complained about how he's underpaid compared to expatriates
he complained so much, we (the family) actually had pity on him
long story short, we had an insider in the company (from our church) who told us,
my uncle was the person blocking my elder brother from getting a job in same company
he (the insider) was shocked we were related to him (my uncle)
he called our uncle in my fathers presence, who told him: do you want that small boy to overtake me in the familyhuh
my uncle didn't know the phone was on speaker!!!
this was 2008.


its easy for a beautiful girl with so many rich suitors to tell her 'not so fine' friends with only one suitor life is not about marriage
its easy for a rich person to tell a broke person life is not about money
its easy for someone in canada/US/europe to tell you in Nigeria the grass isn't greener abroad

someone who doesn't buy fuel for gen,
someone who doesn't sleep with multiple lecturers for marks in the university
someone who isn't slapped, abused and insulted in the hospital (like it happens in teaching hospitals in Nigeria)
SHOULD NOT TELL NIGERIANS ANYTHING ABOUT RELOCATING ABROAD
TravelRe: JAPA Fever Among Nigerian Youths by opicgif: 1:14pm On Sep 12, 2023
do you pay police directly on the road abroad?
do you buy fuel for generator?
do you pay vigilante where you live? i pay OSPAC in rivers state
do you pump water from the ground? did you dig borehole?
do you buy 'sanitation bucket' when you run your business?
my sister,
do you know that prostitutes are charging N500 short time?
you are a woman, do you think its okay for a woman to sell her body for N500? less than $1
are you advising that person to stay back in Nigeria? or be aware of 'the dark side of the moon' before travelling?
what could be worse than what she's already going through in Nigeriahuh

do you know that there are Nigerians in foreign prisons who are comfortable compared to their lives in Nigeria?
because they eat 3 times a day in the prison!!!

RomanceRe: My Experience Dating A Narcissistic Flirt by opicgif: 3:18pm On Aug 28, 2023
1)
you are not dating her. even you, you know. you want to have sex with her or date her

so you invited her to your house, so that maybe, by chance, you will have sex with her.
that's why she scolded you for looking at her pants.
if you were dating her, you would have been fucking her, and she wouldn't complain that you are looking at her pants.
she is a smart girl, and she is using you, just as you are trying to deceive her

i'm sure you cook for her too, considering she comes back after 8pm, to show her you are "boyfriend material"...lol
you are a fool (and i am not insulting you).

2)
send her out of your house!
don't explain yourself to her, she is not your mother
just tell her to go!
this is how you start getting back your manhood and your power
RomanceRe: I Love My Colleague But She Has A Boyfriend by opicgif: 4:00pm On Aug 21, 2023
so many years ago
i chased a woman for 4 years
she told me she wants to keep her virginity till she got married
and that she cant marry me because i don't go to her church (she is a strong christian girl)
i believed!!
we stayed celibate for 4 years
she cooked for me
she did everything for me
i thought she loved me


she lost her virginity to a muslim, married man, with two wives, who wasn't a graduate !!!
1. a muslim
2. a married man
3. who had 2 wives
4. wasn't a graduate

guess who she called to cry about breaking her vowhuh?? guess whohuh?


this was 2010. that was how i learnt my own lesson
your own is small

Poten111:
I have fallen in love with my colleague. She has been so helpful and close to me. We hangout a lot and she creates time for me. She dots me. She is always in a hurry to help and support. If i have a complaint she scampers to look for solution. She buys me lunch and surprises me with snacks and gifts.

I a have a place to go and I impromptu tell her. She volunteers to drive me there. She has a car and I don't. E speak at length every day. Morning and night.

In all this, I reciprocate the gestures. I show her love and respect.
chief,
in everything you do, be true to yourself
don't lie to yourself

you have been friendzoned. you know it.
deep in your heart, you know she doesnt love you. she was only nice to you and you mistook it for sexual interest.
Poten111:
After about a year. I came to the conclusion that I want to date her against my principle of dating colleagues. We once lodged in a hotel where i made my intentions clear. She said she was in a relationship. A distant one but the guy is ready to marry her. He has met her parents.
you couldn't have been close to her, talking morning and night, and didnt know that she has a guy who has met her parents
deep in your heart, you know she said that to keep you away without breaking your heart

Poten111:
I know women love to keep their options open to avoid disappointment but i felt betrayed because how is she making out time for me.

I have re-emphasized my interest on two more occasions. She is thinking about it. I feel she wants to go ahead with the marriage plans.
stop making excuses for women. did they tell you they love to keep their options open? are you a woman?
she is telling "YOU", if it were another man that she likes romantically, she would go ahead and have sex with him
the problem is "YOU"

Poten111:
I have re-emphasized my interest on two more occasions. She is thinking about it. I feel she wants to go ahead with the marriage plans.
STOP!!! stop reemphazing anything. this is how you got friendzoned in the first place!


Poten111:
So i have moved on. Cut off consistent communications with her. I rarely respond to her message especially if they are not work related. I have subtly told her that we cannot be having a subtle affair.

She doesn't seem to keep off. She has maintained her fake interest in me.
my brother, you have not moved on. you are pained. And its perfectly alright. so many guys have gone through this. its alright.
don't cut off communication with her. you are colleagues. don't deceive yourself

you are not fucking her, if not you wouldn't have been this pained. you are pained because you have invested time, effort, attention, money,, emotions on her, and YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING BACK. this is the truth.

in life, you win some, you lose some. its not bad. its not the end of the world

Poten111:
What do i do?
move on, pursue other sexual interests, have more friends, dont show her you are jealous when you see her playing with other guys in the office, join them and laugh and play. play with other girls too, in church, at work, in your neighborhood,
this is the most important: DONT SPEND ANY SINGLE RESOURCE ON HER AGAIN.

not time, effort, attention, money, don't do anything for her!!!
dont gist with her for hours at night, you are not a counsellor
dont escort her anywhere, you are not a bodyguard
dont make her laugh, cheer her up at work, you are not a clown
just do your work, smile with her, as you smile with others
laugh with her as you laugh with others
and go home alone

LIVE your life bro
live
we have all been there before

women make rules for people they don't want (i did not say love), and break rules for people they want (again, i did not say love)

On the issue of metal badges, Nigerian polices officers working at the interpol department at the Louis Edet house use metal badges.

But this one is wearing one saying captain of Montgomery, my guess is that he probably went for a duty or course or something and that rank is probably the equivalent of his rank in the Nigeria Police.
so thats the issue
he is not a law enforcement officer in the US

can anyone say why the CPSO to President Tinubu is wearing police badge of a city in USA?

the former IG also wore a badge and the current IG of Police is wearing one too (i dont know whats written on theirs) and i am sure that Nigeria Police officers don't have metal badges.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Never Pay Money To Buy These 3 Courses Again... by opicgif: 5:02pm On May 01, 2023
This is a wise decision

But there are real courses

I have a way of making money from sports betting.

But since my capital is low, hence the profit I make is low, I thought of teaching it to a select few people and only our team will use this strategy.

Unfortunately, i knew people will say it's a scam so I decided against it. I'd rather use my strategy and make little change weekly, than take the risk of putting a course together and be called a scammer

I got married at 65/70k

Some tips:

- marry a good wife (you already have this covered)

- never buy food outside. Take home food to work

- learn a skill that can urgently get provide another source of income ( you can lose your job any day. even if it's your family member that owns the company, be prepared to leave at a moment's notice)

- invest. Don't save cash. The money you save in January, is not the same money in December. It has lost value. Exchange rate is getting worse every month.
Invest in treasury bonds or any safe thing. Don't invest in what you don't know.


- avoid side chicks, girlfriend, old female friends, or however they want to come

- avoid "rich friends". All fingers are not equal. Stay your lane
