Compare house rent in the USA to that in Nigeria, compare the various taxes u pay to that in Nigeria, compare medical bills, compare tuition fees for children too.
When u compare like that, you won't be screaming anyhow.
There are many many ways to demand improvement from the government not being hypôcrîtical

Are you saying that house rent in Nigeria is cheap? Please stop that nonsense.

30K minimum wage whereas 3 bedroom flat on average is 1 million naira per annum outside the good areas in the cities. In the decent areas you pay anywhere from 8 million to 16 million as rent per annum.

The luck that we have is that the impact of high cost of housing is majorly felt in the big cities that has lot of out-of -state residents. Other wise most people across Nigeria live in their own or family houses.

Roughly all taxes and bills are like half of your income. You still have a very good half to save flex and invest.

You people should stop being wicked.

Why is there subsidy for import in the first place...because we have no working refineries.

The amount spent on subsidies per month is more than enough to build refineries.

You can lie to yourself and the people but the truth is already catching up with you and you and your masters will have no place to hid when the country grinds to a full halt soon.

That time there will be no where to run to as the people will start looking for politicians to physically deal with.

Make una continue.

Minimum wage in USA per month is currently about 1.2 million naira a month in July 2023.

Wheareas minimum wage in Nigeria is 30,000 naira per month.

Eniola I'm not surprised at you, I don't expect anything different.

Am not saying Nigerians should not Protest, but don't turn your Protest in Anarchy. That's where we will have big problem if you do........... Peaceful Protest,no destroying of things.

I would love for you to go to a protest ground and tell hungry abd frustrated people this face to face...so that you can show them the big problem that you have in you.

If he can manipulate you the 2nd and 3rd time, I can bet he would borrow the 4th time and you would give him. Seriously.

He did not manipulate. It's just a very bad habit for him that does him more harm than good. As things are now...he himself cannot open mouth to say borrow me money. He knows I will give him tales by moonlight.

If I wan give I give him, as he is useful for me in other areas. But that borrow no go fit happen again. I told him clearly on the third occasion make him no think sey na him wise pass.

Kobojunkie:
Ok oo

I let go after making my stance clear because I dey fit use am for other things. I don mature.

By his own hand he has shut out himself from better things. I have dashed him more than he borrowed but he will never get any thing really substantial.

Kobojunkie:
Your cousin outwitted you and you think laughing and calling him owe gbese gives you some upper hand? LOL...

Consider that he may have planned the same con on others like you then maybe you will see how you were the one who made the terrible mistake of lending him money without demanding some form of insurance from him that will guarantee he pays no matter what.

If no be dash you dey dash person money, there is no reason why you should not get some form of legal IOU from that person which you can use to get your money back.

He is the foolish one. He is eating crumbs and loosing out on many other bigger things and will NEVER ever be called to seat and feast at the table...because he is not trust worthy whereas trust is the currency of valuable relationships. If your word is as valuable as dust, you will be treated as dust.

A mans word should be his bond. Especially among family and friends. Once I have to go official with a friend or family member...him don turn to outsider be that.

Kobojunkie:
Probably because they think fools of people who lend money to them without receiving some sort of insurance to ensure they pay it back.

I have a cousin that I borrowed money three seperate times over the course of 10 years.
Not once has he paid back...giving the impression that he does not have the funds to pay back.

Recently he was blabbing about how he sowed two natives for total 30k a piece...I just laugh for my mind sey this one owe gbese but still dey do fashion.

I've become more ruthless now though. If I wan give I go give but no be you go force me.

Get liquid blood tonic with canned liquid milk.

Drink morning and evening for like two weeks.

Paperwhite:
STFU man! Nobody funking used you fool. You simply allowed parochial sentiments to becloud your sense of sound judgement.

So much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth everywhere. You ain't seen it yet. The scam, fraud and shege promax is hitting everyone of them hard.

I think pecuniary is the better word. Maybe both but money was surely the main motivation

He don dey start small small. Soon people will identify the house of government officials and go and knock on their gates out of desperation.

You can't oppress the people forever .

Nigerian politicians are the most heartless breed of government officials ever. The covenant they entered into with wicked demons can never make them gave pity on those that are suffering Lai Lai.

They more the people suffer they happier they are

Jennyclay:
come and take me along with you to the UK Biko!!

Thank you!

Are you serious or you are playing.

Elections have consequences in real life.

Never let your unbridled tribal loyalty blind you to the reality that hunger amd suffering knows no tribe.

Someone I know is secretly dating her cousin's husband, the said man was responsible for this lady's new job and she works directly under the man , same office and everything.

They all work at the same place but wife works in a different department, the annoying part is that this lady is far older than her cousin, a divorcee who is yet to remarry. I saw all their love messages to each other but they've not had sex because the man was complaining that she claims to love him but they have never made the love. I stumbled on all these when she asked me to take a picture of her with her phone and the love messages of that man came in, I quickly exported all their chats to my phone and I saw everything, I couldn't even sleep that day because this aunty is the last person I ever expect such deadly snaky habits from.

Now whenever I see all of them together I cringe, knowing fully well what's secretly going on. The thing is bordering me and I feel I should exposed them before they commit the abominable act of sex

Though from their chats she has resisted all kinds of moves from the man aside their exchange of love words. Another side is that this aunty and the man travelled together recently and came back the next day but from their conversation it doesn't look like anything happened but I don't know if they slept in different rooms.

Aunty has always told the man that she won't do anything with him that will hurt her cousin but the man keeps pressuring her. So my own is I'm so uncomfortable keeping this secret , I'm so tempted to confront this aunty that I know what she's doing but I'm still holding myself back.

What do I do please because I can't promise of keeping this secret and minding my business, I just can't.

Please how do I go about this?

Give an anonymous call to the man. Let a man do it and tell him to stop or his head will be broken when he leasts expect it.

It will slow him down.

A person can be too tall.

They have a well oiled propaganda machine.

Time will reveal everything. You can't hide from your shadow na

Okealaaye:
Fruitless exertions that will avail nix! Obi's political career is as dead as dodo and he's to blame. You don't plant coconut and hope to harvest palm fruits. He could have stayed on in the PDP and agree to be Atiku running mate. Or, what governance experience did he acquire between 2019 and 2023 that he should think that he's bigger than his former principal? National politics is far higher than Anambra politics. That's the basic truth Obi's boastful kinsmen failed to tell him. How would anyone from a fractioned political party expect to defeat another who had been building nationwide bridges since 1993? A man who didn't ask for contracts and other perquisites from the government he helped to install. How many politicians could have done that? Obi's time has faded with the February 29th sunset, and no amount of birthday celebrations, hospital and IDP camp visitations can revive it. If only because when the sun rises it doesn't look back until it fulfills its daily course. There are countless Igbo politicians like Moghalu, Onu, Umahi and Soludo who are miles away from Obi in competency, etc. who can easily be BETTER Nigeria's president! So, why the fixation on Peter Obi, a man who can in no way light a candle to any of those great men?

Walk to the nearest filling station and buy petrol and you will understand the fixation on Peter Obi....competency is one thing, compassion for the people is another.

With a leader that puts his people first and foremost, the rest is easy.

We do not want brilliant but heartless thieves.

His mother was a prostitute who was sleeping with different white sailors. That’s why he and his siblings are half castes. Do what do you expect from don of a prostitute?

Definitely not surprised. Anyway na way.

You can't say that you are on the side of the suffering masses and be doing videos advocating common sense way forward and then go and snap picture with a woman who stole humongous amounts in the petroleum sector and call her classy and smart.

He's a very daft fellow

Ben Bruce...any where belle face.

No morals, no principles !!! A great pretender who stands for nothing tangible other than to go anywhere food go come from.

Taken advantage of U do realise he had everything royalty stripped from him by his grandmother the queen for choosing to go ahead with marrying her. Or mayb you don't realise she would have gained more by choosing not to marry him with what the Royal family would have offered her in form of pay off

You never know women and thier wily nature.

A man leaves his exalted position and country as Prince to the world's biggest empire to go to live in a foreign country with an older woman.

You think say no love?

Great privileges comes with great responsibilities. He had no business marrying her in the first place. His duties as a royal demanded that any woman he married must fit into a certain criteria.

Me wey no get money sef, I no sey I no fit marry woman wey don born before based on person who I be.

I feel zero pity for the guy. Now she will keep the child and raise him in a foreign land be getting money steady from him and free to f**k around and marry another man.

She ain't loyal to him or England.

After removing several subsidies that are the lifeblood of many Nigerians, Tinubu has managed to plunge the country into a depression. His acts were so brazen and shocking that it could either be the ramblings of a maniac or the outset of a grand plan of a political genius. People decided to stick with the later, because the former was too painful to imagine. One liter of petrol for 532.5 naira! Ridiculous. Yet, as the days pass by, it is becoming clearer that this geriatric guy has no plan for the country. He has had 8 years to plan for his presidency, yet his only plan is to give 8,000 naira, which he has since withdrawn and replaced with rice and beans (and maybe agbado).

More people are starting to realize that he might not be smart after all. The arrest of Emefiele is perhaps just political revenge. The floating of currency is probably an attempt to halt the exodus of Nigerians abroad. And the removal of oil subsidy is an attempt to make Dangote refinery profitable (as the government justify paying subsidy to him and he cannot make profit at the current price). Tinubu is probable an opportunist that stole the glory that rightly belongs to Fashola. His body language does not indicate a man that has vision and the 8,000 naira insult reveals the depth of his character and intellect.

Most Nigerians have to bow their heads in humiliation and shame when they consider what is going on in Nigeria. It is hard to attach the word 'Nigerian' to yourself without feeling defiled. Tinubu has broken the unwritten social contract that exists between Nigerians and politicians - steal but leave subsidy untouched. 'Our son' politics does not work in the southwest, thus, I wonder how this man plans to survive the political storm awaiting him when he's discovered to be a spoof.

We tell them dem no gree. I was done with secondary school when Tinubu became governor for 8 years. The only thing I remember him for is "Jigi Bola" and posters on the road explaining why bad roads cannot be fixed because it is a federal road. And the better coordination of Agberos into various unions.

I expect nothing good from his government and know that he will seek to tax anything and everything with a consultant on behalf of government for a percentage that will go into his pocket.

That is all Tinubu has to offer. No more, no less

There was nothing

The wheels are coming off so fast.

This boy was taken advantage of and used to gain for social and financial gain.

Prophet Segun was the owner of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Solution Chapel, Ikoyi-Ile, where Owolabi and his mother went to seek wealth on 8th December 2019.


Pastor David Ibiyeomi's sermon comes to mind

Nope.

There are certain people that are original herbalists who find it more easier to operate under the guise of white garment churches.

We have a name for them " babalawo in sutana" . They can be easily spotted by their words and actions.

They never submit to the authority of Jesus and they things they say and do are just OFF.

Depriest2020:
Buhari did same thing after Goodluck left the seat, so it's nothing new, just that I don't know why they're scared to move in immediately.

Maybe to perform some cleansing and ritual, if Peter Obi comes tomorrow, if he likes he should rush in immediately. There must be a good reason these strong men delays before moving in.

Renovation , yes.
Spiritual cleansing? Yes Yes Yes.

Na Celestial prophets and shepherds go come sanctify the place. Trust me !!!

Pulaka solution.

Karma. Na this same Adeboye man dey talk sey Oschoffa got his powers from demons...he is therefore guilty of the same sin that he accused someone of.
