Enemyofpeace:
Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

You can't rig elections and be victorious in life, it's not possible.

You're not only an Enemy of peace, you are also an Enemy of progress. Abeg, no carry una PDAPC or ELLU P madness enter football, biko, this is one of the few things remaining that give us joy.

But Nigeria why na? Upon Osimhen, upon Chukwueze, upon Iheanacho? O ga o. Guinea Bissau wey no be Ghana, Cameroon or CoteD'voire. Really poor outing! We con still dey home 😭😭

XAUBulls:
Oh, I see! That's fine though if the offer is from your fam member in the UK. I've got fam in the UK... My younger brother lives there too with his immediate fam. There's been a spike in inflation in the UK due to global financial headwinds, but with focus, one can develop streams of income to weather the storm. London is more expensive than areas such as Manchester so you just have to figure out how to cut cost.

You should give it a try though since it's for education and work ... and you have a small nuclear family.

The exchange rate differential majorly is what makes folks in Nigeria to want to leave, otherwise, why go to struggle in another country? I still remember how back in the early to late 1980s, Nigerians used to fly regularly on holidays to the UK and NY onboard the iconic British Caledonian, PanAm, and Nigeria Airways and return. Those days can still be got back and even better with proper decentralization of the economy based on
innovation.


Talk to you later.

Hmmmn! You are knowledgeable about many things. Something tells me you are a bit elderly too.

Sure! Talk to you later.

Congratulations Canniggia!

Never despise humble beginnings.

God will smile on you and your hustle will pay sometime soon.

Your destiny helper will locate you.

XAUBulls:
Hey, Placeofallure, how's it going?

Are you headed for the Middle-East (Asia), Canada, UK for work or academics?


Here's more of my POV below:

If you've done your due diligence and the offer is genuine (with real testimonials from others and references) in the medical or tech fields for instance, then just do it. But then again, since your subconcious is reacting to the
RED flags such as you having to leave your man behind in the interim, and the "pushiness" then you have to step back more and logically analyse the situation.


There have been horrendous stories though of innocent and unsuspecting young women and men from Yorubaland and elsewhere who spent millions of
Naira (derived from selling their family lands or borrowed money) to travel to Oman, Lebanon, etc, and ended up getting their travel passports seized and turned to sex slaves as housemaids instead of getting the social worker or other formal or semi-formal jobs they were promised.

Abike Dabiri's intervention got the ladies out of Oman and Lebanon back to Nigeria.

It would have been better if these folks had used the millions of
Naira spent to travel out on agribusinesses and other investments back in Nigeria.

No, nothing of the sort. It's UK and for studies and work. The man pushing is family, an uncle, me no wan go, but he just wants me to go. He
believes more opportunities abound there. He's lived and worked there too. Hubby will join later.

luminouz:

How you been? You scarce for here oh

Work things o, always on the run.

luminouz:
Very rare to see you cussing!!!

They deserve it jare.

Men are most desirable when in their 40s

blacksam01:
...jeez! this category is full of trouble

its either they are dragging my right, playing the silence game when iritated, never apologetic when wrong, weaponize sex,blame shifting, talking back in arguments, wealthy but very reluctant to assist u wen in need,stuborn and always making u feel they pitied u to be with u...

God! av never seen such awful lot like these people..

i wonder why men wont simply let these entitled ladies alone to marry themselves....

dont think its from who i dated...mind u i have dated 5 of them..same character especially gradaute good earning ladies....

i guees that why they marry late!

Well you could be right but not certainly all of us are like that.

I do caution my big sis at times when she's having little altercation with her hubby.

When I got married, I got to see first-hand how impossible you men can be at times.

We, hubby and I, don't run into problem often because naturally I'm your typical introvert.

Then the words of one of my pastors always reverberate - respect and submit to your husband, his stupidity or egocentrism regardless, the Bible didn't attach any clause or condition to it. I am very "churchy"

Many times, Men are not the wisest or the most tactful creatures, the woman's innate abilities must be expressed here to keep things sane.

Sometimes, I let things go awry so he can see my point without me necessarily engaging in an argument or scuffle. He'll make a detour with an apology.

Possibly, you could do a thorough self evaluation too. The problem may not be the girls.

Arapmoi22:
Drop your yeye pride and stop bragging.
I have more than one national passports too, but don't need to prove it.
That's where your childishness is.
I don't need to post it to prove any point.
So, using vulgar languages is only to cover up your foolishness.
Who cares to know if you have military background?
Pride will want you to say, "who you are"
Meanwhile, empty barrel sounds more to a high crescendo.
Anyone who engages you is automatically inside Nigeria.
Only you has the privilege of being outside Nigeria.
Brag brag and brag.
May pride not kill you.
Pride is a big disease.
Even those Burning passport are subtly driven by pride.
Your pride is working again you people everywhere.
Work on it. A very big weakness.

The people tearing their passport Ehn? Aye lo n se won. They're under the siege of extraterrestrial manipulations. I know how much I paid and the energy I exerted before I got my passport, Somebody win or e no win no go make me tear am, dem dey craze!

Massiveglory:
If Nigeria will come out of this election with any thing to unite about and build on, the mandate of the rightful winner of the presidential must be restored.

This is only means to gather the fragements of our nation which has been scattered.

This is the only means to hold and build on the foundation of our nation which is heavily shaking right now.

What are you waiting for? Go and restore it. We move after you!

Ceenaija:
I know this election will backfire, this result may be the monster that will consume the APC.

Go and sit down. Nothing will happen.

Massiveglory:
Lagos had a war not election. There is nothing to congratulate.

Your opinion is unpopular.

Many states had wars not election - Benue, River, Ebonyi etc

Go figure and leave Lagos alone.

Reinaldo:
Sick people. Most APC supporters are mentally ill and need immediate help

What makes them sick and you're not?

That's the problem with you and your type. If people find it suitable to support APC, you won't let them do it in peace?

Who made you an authority over them that says they have to dance to your tune?

If I like a dark-skinned woman and I marry her, will I call your wife ugly because her skin is fair?

Live and let live.

It's a free world. Every one will be responsible for his or her choice.

The first two to three months of Nigerians getting abroad is always like;

"ohh my God, see 24hrs light, Nigeria failed us" most even forget they pay $300 for utility bills every month. LoL

"See road. Ohh my God, there's no road and fine cars in Nigeria, we all trek on mud"

"Mehn, see fine fine oyinbo, I'll Marry like 2 oyinbo for here and get papers within two years" only to later realized this is only but illusion as most Nigerian guys are ugly and might not be good enough to even get dates.

"Damn. See how much my salary is wen I convert it to naira. Now, I'm earning more than a bank manager in Nigeria" Only to later realized that 60% of this money will go to taxes and bills. Nigerians at home will also bill them

"Take pictures every day to pepper ignorant Nigerians at home" only to get tired after two months when reality knock

That was me when I paid $350 for light in February

Add yours

Plans to travel is nearing completion but I'm discouraged by talks like this. E even be like my sponsor dey overbearing these days. He's just too pushy. Hmmmn! I hope I'm making a good decision, not so keen about it anymore especially as I'll be leaving hubby behind for now.

XAUBulls:
How's it going @placeofallure?

The pleasure is mine. Great that you found my feedback post here insightful and useful. Applied knowledge is indeed power!

I wasn't gonna let anybody cyber bully an "eloquent sis" like you here with half-truths, so, I had to calmly state the specifics for the benefit of all readers... and "without mercy." Lol.

Talk to you later... Have a great year ahead!

Enjoy!

Eloquent? 😧😧Awww! Thanks

teeshet:
get out, Idiot

As e dey sweet us, E dey pain them.

Go ahead and lick your wounds.

Awa Omoluabi lo l'Eko!

Meanwhile, keep stalking me.

XAUBulls:
Nicely put.

He was just trippin' in his own little space of planet earth. He'll learn from here on out, and "bow down."

Take care.

You too!

Yes, what do you expect? It's typical of them, arrogant and delusional.

Mother of Governor, she's already coveting the title, she should go and have another think coming, ko le werk!

lhordspy:
I dont support violence in any form. BUT I have no sorry to waste, or pity to feel for the worst media organisation in the entire world anchored by partisan, incompetent, sentimental, bias group of !POB apologists masquerading as journalists.

Journalism everywhere in the world is neutral and nonpartisan but these ones are making mockery of it.

They probably went there with the sole motive of cooking up lies and propaganda against NIGERIA, INEC and APC as usual. Reporters of Bad news, Anti-APC news network.

Wetin their eyes wan see, na wetin dem see.

No one, i repeat, No one will run a media base campaign of calumny against Nigeria and deserve my pity. Never.

Me too. I don't like violence in any way but as I see it's this TV house, I kept saying to myself "Very good!" So na only one person and they're saying crew like say dem reach dozen. Nonsense!

I vote for Jesus.

I am praying for Sanwoolu to win anyway cause I no be bastard.

I woke up early, 6:00 am to take a stroll with hubby, came back, shower then started cooking. I made special efo elegunsi with 9 lives. I cooked rice and made semo too in case. There's this smoothy I've been meaning to do, I tried it today, it's still cooling in the fridge. I've been watching movies on my system, then EPL started at 4 so I abandoned the movies for later. NEPA has been good today, we've actually had light since 2 days ago. I will join Channels TV much later for updates.

Eko o ni baje o!

drsugar:
You guys shouldn’t have said that Lagos is a no man’s land.


Lagos is NOT a “NO MAN’S LAND …. and will never be!

Anambra is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Kano is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Bayelsa is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

London is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

New York is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Durban, South Africa is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Malaysia is not a “NO MAN’S LAND


The same attitude that you guys are using to cause problems and give Nigeria a bad name in South Africa, Malaysia and so on is what you are now repeating in Lagos.

You guys need to do an introspection and examine yourselves, especially your foolish toxic - tribalistic dominance mentality.

Look at the first military coup in Nigerian and the role you guys played? That was the beginning of Nigeria’s mess that we are still trying to get out from..

Also look at the civil war when you guys wanted to leave Nigeria and betray the federation just because CRUDE OIL had just been discovered from your region (NB: The first oil well, Olobiri oil well was in old eastern region)

You guys are PERPETRATORS of problems in Nigeria and NOT VICTIMS.

At least after today’s election, that your foolish sense of over-importance will reduce.

You have lost the presidential election, you’ll lose Lagos too today.

You have awoken the ethnic and tribal consciousness in most of us, including our highly intelligent youths who don’t normally bother about things like this before.

I hope this truth will sink in. But the truth is dem no dey hear word. They think everything is by aggression, never so. Strategies win wars not aggression. Follow the teachings of Tai chi...

Mufasa27:
U never win you brainwashed your fellow pigs to call Lagos a no man's land, oya I wan know how you go take win.... 😂 Eni shorire !!!!

Ogbuefi2020:
Good one. No room for thuggery in the East. Only afonjas support thuggery, democracy is not in their culture but we will continue to show them examples. We have advanced ahead of others in democracy

Shut up! These were the thugs that helped Obi to get 97% votes in Enugu.

Wind don blow, fowl yansh don dey outside!

CSTRR:
First and foremost, the federal allocation.

Oil resources are sold, and the revenues shared to hungry states in the SW, including Lagos.

Secondly, delta state is a major source of federal govt dollars.

Without delta state, govts would not be able to carry out infrastructural projects in the South West and yorubas would not be able to source dollars from the bank, for schooling trade and e.t.c.

Without dollars, imports cannot happen, and I don't need to tell you what that will lead to.

And lastly, without delta state, Nigerian currency would be less than tissue paper because there is very little dollars that would be coming in to support the naira.
The vast majority of Nigerian dollars come from oil exports and delta is a major major oil state.

So respect your elders.

You have much more of listening to elders to do than me. Listen to XAUBulls

XAUBulls:
I have to robustly step in here to educate you on Delta State's contributions to Nigeria's national income before you twist current and historical facts further in your reply to @placeofallure.


First off, Bola Tinubu who is a technocrat, accountant and former treasurer with the American multinational oil and gas giant ExxonMobil, was responsible for laying the financial foundations and increasing the Lagos State IGR from a mere N13 billion annually to a huge N400 billion annually (mostly through PAYE and more) as of today through the continuity of governance. In addition, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is a brilliant investment banker that worked in the international operations or
Foreign Exchange departments, and he is a former treasurer in the banks where he worked all before the age of 40.

Peter Obi only increased the
Anambra State IGR by a mere N1 billion per annum from N7 billion to N8 billion in his 8 years as Governor.

Kaduna State under Governor Nasir El-Rufai increased their IGR from N15 billion to a stellar N96 billion per annum in 8 years.


So, Lagos State can survive without
monthly Federal allocation from oil exports because Lagos State generates more internally than it receives from Federal allocation, and the onshore and offshore oil and gas producing Ilaje-Yoruba areas of Ondo State have been contributing to the sustainance of the Nigerian national income too in Naira and USD, hence generating more income from oil and gas than
Imo and Abia combined based on official data that can be found uploaded on NL and on other online platforms!

The Itsekiris of Delta State in the oil and gas-rich areas such as
Ugborodo (Ugborodo is the original name NOT Escravos), who have pure and direct Yoruba ancestry with their Ilaje cousins in Ondo State, have also contributed a LOT to the national income through crude oil export terminals from the Okan, Meji, Meta, and Meren oil fields, and more despite major oil spills that have led to water pollutions in those Itsekiri communities in Delta State where the largest percentage of crude oil and gas export earnings in Delta State come from.

So, Yoruboid states or communities cannot be accused by you of parasitism or being "hungry" because of the vast contributions of the Ilajes and Itsekiris (who originally evolved from Ijebu, Ilaje, and Ife ancestral bloodlines all from Yorubaland) before the arrival in the 1490s in Ode Itsekiri (an Ijebu settlement which had Chief Lenuwa as their leader) of Prince Ginuwa the son of the then reigning Oba of Benin kingdom. Ginuwa's mother was one of the wives of the Oba of Benin and a Yoruba woman from Ile Ife in the modern-day State of Osun.


I worked with a major multinational oil and gas company from the 1990s in PH as well. The vast contributions of the oil-producing States or areas such as Delta, Ondo, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Imo, Abia, etc, CANNOT be minimised in the grand scheme of things and they deserve a better deal before crude oil becomes useless in the near future.

You the younger folks must also get informed on historical events and stop the ethnic bigotry.


I hope this helps.




Cc: @Placeofallure

Thank you for the insight. Really helpful.

Okorietitus:
Hope my brothers are seeing this. Play politics with sense like Yorubas, don't be poking nose in matters that don't concern you.

When Yorubas fight, they will break kolanut on your head to settle the fight. The head of Igbos is for thinking, unfortunately too many idiots claiming to be Igbos want kolanuts to be broken on their heads.

To be far from the maddening crowd is a rare talent which is fast going into extinction these days. Thumbs up to you 👍👍

gimakon:
TBH, you have a point tho.

Thank you for being objective. We all want a better Lagos and by extension, a better Nigeria.

Reinaldo:
Vote GRV and LP everywhere first, then think about salary later because APC is determined to destroy the future of young Nigerians.

Your future, not mine.

gimakon:
Na still the same yoruba if you reason am na. They are not Igbos.
Now Answering your question, We are not against Tinubu, Shettima is the enemy we are not allowing Tinubu on that seat.
Get that into your skull.

Mxm

See your mistake, I don't care about their tribe, I care about their personality. A shisha-smoking princess or high-on-substance greenhorn cannot occupy the seat at Alausa, that's my submission. I want to vote for experience, I want to vote for competence. Right now, LP do not have that as far as Lagos guber race is concerned. If a Tony Elumelu wants to run in Lagos, I'll vote him, he has run something, what has your GRV run? I can't vote a confused youth who keeps changing name like a chameleon. No be FRAUD juju be that!
