Not everyone is as dubious as Igbos who sell fake products.

You pple even refuse to pay off the boys that serve you after many years. Instead of paying them off, you set them up and call them thieves. Then you will get them arrested so that the boys won't ask for settlement.

Because you igbos are dubious people doesn't mean everyone else is dubious.

sheriffindy:
We both know the tribe that are the most untrustworthy.

If e pain you too much, direct your complain to T_pain

ClitRaider:
That's over N70m to escape to UK?!
I need to have a re-think.

Samguine:
The drivers in your company is earning 110k. Great. How many drivers earn that amount monthly?

Now, consider the cost of food all across the nation. One pack of spaghetti is 1k. A crate of eggs is almost 6k. Even someone who earns above 200k is complaining. Things are bad in Nigeria bro. Go outside. From Lagos to Maiduguri. Do you know a tuber of yam is cheaper here than it is in Nigeria? Here, with 10 pounds, (less than the minimum wage), you can stock up food that will last you for a week. These are the issues.

Samguine:
Omo!! In this same Nigeria?



The issue I have with what you are saying is the fact that everything you've been saying is "me, me, me, me, me". You are just one out of 200m people. How are others surviving? Do you go to the market? Are people happy? Are Nigerians happy? Remove the focus from yourself for a minute and imagine the pains of millions of Nigerians.

Samguine:
I lived in Lagos bro. I experience these. The aviation industry is experiencing issues because people cannot afford to fly, mostly. Lagos to Abuja, one-way flight, is about 100k. I flew from London to Nuremberg for 28 Euros. That is about 55k. Can't you see the difference

Samguine:
You should not be bragging about 24-hour light in 2024. You don't get it?? Electricity is not a big deal here. Nobody celebrates 24 hours of light here. It is a constant k. That is the level we want Nigeria to get to.

Samguine:
Nigerians never rely on their salaries, maybe because it is never enough? You can live well on your salary here, whether you are a carer washing bum bum, a security, or the CEO of an organization. If you plan enough, you salary is enough to sustain you and live a good life.

Samguine:
Again, read up on credit-based systems. It is not a bad thing. Also, know that not everyone automatically qualifies for credit. You have to be creditworthy. On a good day, I want to be in a country that works. And we need Nigeria to work for not just people like you, but for everyone.

Samguine:
We are not vacation people? Simply because we can't afford it . How would you know the value of a thing if you have not experienced it?

Samguine:
Security guards live in their own houses and buy cars, in Nigeria? Do you mean Dangote's security or that man that guards the banks and asks you for 100 Naira to feed when you go to deposit money?

Samguine:
Again, read up about credit-based systems. Whether you purchased It outright, or with credit, it is yours.

Samguine:
Again, look away from yourself. You are just one out of a million people. You probably have access to insurance. How many Nigerians can afford insurance? How many communities in Nigeria have access to the government hospital you have access to? In the case of an emergency, you Nigerians access an ambulance?

Samguine:
You need to understand how the medical/health system here works. You do not just have access to random drugs. People bring drugs because it is not easy to buy drugs here. The system is regulated to prevent abuse of drugs. A report says that some strains of malaria are now resistant to some antibiotics we use in Nigeria because of abuse. Is that okay?

Samguine:
No bro. I have spent about 9 months here, since that time:

- No blink in my electricity. For 9 months. I do not even think about electricity again. It is a constant k for us here
- I have never heard of fuel scarcity or seen a fuel queue.
- Food is cheap. If I work for 3 hours, I can buy food that we last me for a month. I want Nigerians to have this same privilege
- I applied for a Schengen visa after two months here. I got it. Access to over 20 countries. I am not sure I will even get an interview date in Nigeria.

Samguine:
Moving to the UK has changed my life Bro and I wish every Nigerian will experience the change in life I have too. If anyone does not fancy japa and wants to stay in Nigeria, that's okay too. That means we have to ensure Nigeria works for everyone.

There is no way you will experience abroad and think we are doing well in Nigeria. No way!

galserv:
You are just saying rubbish!!! I bought 15 tubers of yam for 8k. It will last my family of 5 for one month. People will still eat egg. They will either buy or rare free roaming birds that will lay eggs.





You are the one taking Panadol for another's headache. I am not yet rich. And I am not in the management cadre in my organisation. So why can't use myself as an example? I have neighbours who earn far less than I do. Yet I have not seen anybody go cap in had begging to feed. The security guys in my office most likely use more sophisticated phones than you. And I can't even remember the last time I gave them a tip.

The problem is that we Nigerians have been used to stupid unsustainable subsidies and freebies over the years. Now, we have to adjust to reality.

You keep referencing the very ebb of the society as if there are no homeless people in the UK. Here, nobody sleeps outside. Only in Lagos do people live under the bridge before they break through. Yet in their condition, they are still 'balling'.



100k is okay. That is not our headache now.



One of the points you lots always use to bash Nigeria is that we don't have light. Now, we have 24 hours light and you say it's no big deal as if you were not the one who raised the point ab initio.



People get involved in multiple side hustles that help them besides their salary. Salary job is just a means of getting out of the house and being open to opportunities.
I am on online publisher as a side hustle and I earn forex by God's grace.



Forget that thing. Gbese is gbese. Even the Bible says we NOT owe anyone anything. How will you pay your tithe if you are in debt

There is nothing good about debt. You have been tied down. And your future is not in your hands. Chikena.



Nigerians won't even visit exotic locations in Nigeria for vacation. There are a number of exotic tourism sites I can visit that will cost me close to nothing where I stay yet I have not visited them. Vacation is simply not our thing.



Stop taking Panadol for another's headache. Just know that everybody here is getting by. Better keep your NGN100 to yourself than dash anyone here.



It's not yours until you've fully paid the debt. That's why you can be kicked out of your mortgaged house if you default once.



No I am not. I am still a hustler. Many guys around me are balling. Yet their monthly salary may not even be up to mine.



Sure, they won't want you to have easy access to regular drugs so that they can have a proper leash on you and your financial destiny.
They want to control your life 100%
Healthcare here is open with many options available.



I can't remember the last time I queued for fuel. People only queue where the fuel is a bit cheaper(NNPC).
Power is available here and we now turn it off to conserve our units.
Food is still cheaper here than UK. And when we start eating more of GMO foods like you guys, it will get even cheaper.
What is the big deal about Schengen gan



Goodluck to you!
But NEVER think you are better than anyone in your category back here.
Most of your guys japaed just to keep up with the joneses and are codedly regretting it. And then you resort to consoling yourself with irrelevant, obsolete points like power, good roads etc.

My family are all over US, UK, Canada etc

My mum was in UK last year. She was NOT pleased one bit.

Nigeria is nowhere near perfect. But it does not make life here harder than abroad. NEVER!!!

Samguine:
Once again, it is all about "me, myself, I, my family, my mom". Zero thoughts for the millions of Nigerians who will queue to buy fuel for over 1k and buy a crate of eggs for 10k. As long as none of that affects you and your family, everything is great and Nigeria is better than the UK.

All the best brother.

While at it, check out this link - https://www.nairaland.com/8238928/economic-hardship-bites-superstores-lose. But since you can afford yam, everything is okay.

galserv:
You are talking theories. I am talking facts. Hence I can use myself to illustrate. And I consider myself a hustler.

Where are these your imaginary 'millions of Nigerians' sef

You said yam is cheaper in UK than Nigeria and I found that assertion quite dummmb.

Superstores are NOT a Nigerian thing. To hell with them.

Hardship in Nigeria is not worse than UK's. FACT!!!

Samguine:
The reality of the average Nigerian is theory? Lol.

I was in Nigeria as early as last year. See, it is not theory. I experienced it. The suffering of Nigerians is not theory. It is real. Spaghetti is over 1k. ONE PACK OF SPAGHETTI IS OVER 1K. Does that make sense to you? Are you happy buying spaghetti for over 1k? A bag of rice is over 100k. ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR A BAG OF RICE. Is that fine by you?

Those Superstores you casually dismissed as a non-Nigerian thing, have Nigerians working in/with them as cashiers, securities, distributors, suppliers, attendants, and managers. Real Nigerians without the privileges you enjoy, have had their means of livelihood truncated because of how bad the economy is. But because it does not affect you, everything is fine.

Yam, indeed, is cheaper here than it is in Nigeria, even though the UK does not grow yams. I know you cannot wrap your head around it. And that's okay.

You say Nigeria is better than the UK. See, you are right o. No need to convince you again.

samintegrity:
Hello, pls could you kindly stop replying him pls.

Where in Nigeria does 15tubers of Yam sells for 8k? Abi which way nau..

I don't understand this guy again o, ..is it that he's deliberately doing this or what?


Haba nau

SE the Nigeria we gather dey so?
Pls just kindly ignore him.

A crate of egg is #5100 last in Akure and some places more .

Baby food are no go area, even medicine (drugs) are something else..

And he said Nigerians now have side hustle?? Like seriously?? How many Nigerian have side hustle?

Haba nau

A Congo of Nigeria rice in akure is #3350 while that of beans is #3500, ahhh

Gari is around #1300,

abi does he not know what is saying ni..

A 150k income now in today's Nigeria can't feed a family of 4, father mother and 2 kids..

School fee is something else, and yet you are still defending this government and telling us that all is well in Nigeria.

Nigeria where some people are still being paid #25k per month, I meant even a larger percentage of the population earns below 70k a month..

galserv:
I never said there is no hardship in Nigeria. But my point is that the UK is not any better aside the fact that when you send pounds home it becomes substantial. That's the only edge the UK has!

But then you did not just land in the UK. It cost a fortune!! Have you recouped your investment

Spaghetti is 1k and so? Haven't wages increased Must you buy a bag of rice? When a bag of rice was 7k, how many people bought it? Must you buy foreign rice that is not even sweet? I don't buy a bag of rice and what I buy takes me for the month.

You are just consoling yourself for the advanced slave life you are living abroad. That is why you can senselessly say yam is cheaper in UK than Nigeria

Nigerians are still getting by by God's grace. Stop taking Panadol for another's headache. Thank you.

Samguine:
You are right 👍

galserv:
@bolded I am somewhere in the north and I bought 15 tubers of yam for 8k. It will take my family of 5 for one month by God's grace.
People earning so poorly are making far more by other means.

Stop buying things at expensive places. Be smart. Seek out where you can get better deals and stop whining like a...

Also, get side hustles to assist. Nobody relies solely on salary in Nigeria. My boss earning over 30m annually still has a side hustle.

Samguine:
My brother, I am tired. I will ignore him from now on. The dollar is 1700 and the national grid has collapsed. But according to him, everything is good. I won't answer him again.

olabrad:
Yeah, Igbos are so trustworthy that any product they make is a fake.

sheriffindy:
Betrayal and back-biting na una second name

olabrad:
One igbonguy committed suicide because his Igbo master refused to settle him after serving the master for 7 years.

So, you igbos are More associated with betrayal and backbiting than any other tribe in Nigeria.

Betrayal and backbiting are the first names of an Igbo

sheriffindy:
Oga stop crying

na una tribe keep nigeria in this jaga-jaga condition

very soon u no go see data take dey type rubbish

3 faced goats

olabrad:
Betrayal and snitching are naturally engraved in yoruba people DNAs.


How does that change the fact that you igbos are your own enemies? You even hate your own brothers.

Na una default settings br dat

Igbo Masters don't settle Igbo boys that serve them for many years. Is that caused by yorubas?

You igbos are backbitters. You even do it against your fellow Igbos.

What a shame

sheriffindy:
.

olabrad:
Betrayal and snitching are naturally engraved in Igbo people's DNAs.

That's why you refuse to settle boys that serve you for many years.

Instead of settling them, you will lie on their head and get them arrested so that they won't be able to demand for settlement


Igbo people are very wicked people

sheriffindy:
Still doesn't change the truth about how yorubas are by default settings...bunch of hypocrites.


As long as you read the truth before editing...I'm fine .

Na you go tire.

Akpamu

olabrad:
And it also shows that Igbos backbite, cheat, deceive and hate one another. The real haters of igbos are Igbos.

You destroy the lives of poor Igbo boys that come to serve you and arrest them so that they won't ask for settlement.

Nobody hate Igbos More than Igbos!

sheriffindy:
You don't have to type such long epistles to prove your point.


Only the guilty does that.


Seems a word is not enough for fools like you.

.won't reply you again

olabrad:
Call it anything, but it doesn't change the fact that you igbos are naturally wicked to yourselves. You are backbitters even against your fellow Igbos.

Your fellow Igbos will serve you for so many years and you will wickedly refuse to settle the boys. You will rope the boy into crime he didn't commit so that he can be arrested and save you for settling the poor boys.

Stop blaming other tribes for hating Igbos. Look inward.

You igbos are naturally wicked to yourselves.

sheriffindy:
Oya stop crxying

ive heard you

olabrad:
Lolz
Igbos are the enemies of igbos

sheriffindy:
Cry Crý Baby

olabrad:
Lolz. At least, you have become convinced that you igbos are your own enemies.

Igbos are betrayers of igbos

sheriffindy:
lm more convinced that you wail more

na so e pain u reach?
