Has anyone noticed. Why is it that photographs taken overseas come cleaner and more beautiful and unique than photos taken here in Nigeria even if you use the same camera. Or is it my eyes? It is a sincere observation pls?

Two things: equipment, and haze/glare.

We have a haze in our cities, from dust and pollution. Our skies are also almost always gray with clouds (i.e. it's rare to see a genuine blue sky). These have a lot to do with the picture quality.

If you went North to a clear place, or to more rural areas in the South free from pollution, the pictures also look very nice.

I'll also have to admit that the quality of camera makes all the difference. Look at the pictures shot by Tay0AinaFilms ... they are also high quality, unlike most pictures you'd take with phone cameras.

I know u too well
I know nothing can redeem you
We have crossed path a lot on this forum

But my prayer is that God will treat you exactly the way Buhari is treating Nigeria.,.
From insecurity to poverty

What you see in the backside of a nepotic Fulani cow is what nobody can comprehend...
Continue

Our paths can only cross on this forum and for that you should give supplication to your creator.

Like I said before, your lack of exposure is well pasted on the way you write.

Anyone that hasn't cottoned on to the idea that you are a pay-per-post agent must really be slow.

In any case, I would repeat Nigerians do not pay tax.

If your idea of tax is strictly limited to VAT then you are even slower than I thought.

Again, I repeat, go get a job.

This pay-per-post is not sustainable and certainly not one you can happily leave as a legacy to one of your numerous kids.

Why do you people like misinforming Nigerians??

The €350 is for those earning between €38k-75k per annum (that is a minimum of €730 per week), whose jobs were affected by the lock down and cannot work from home.. Or business owners who were forced to close their businesses but still have to pay staff.

Surely, you are not getting this money...otherwise you'll be well informed. I live in Dublin and rent is €1000-1500 a month... That money is not even enough to pay mortgage... Stop spewing thrash and misinforming people.
Nigerian government is not doing enough but don't make it look like you are in paradise in Ireland either. No government in the world is father Christmas.

Bros you’re the one misinforming people here,you’re not current with news.

It appears who are the one misinforming people. The average rent in Limerick is between 300-500 Euro. You might get more or even less, it depends on the location and amenities of the apartment. Go to rent.ie and check.
axeman10:


No, I did not say the govt did not pay residents to cushion the effect of the jobs lost.. I also stated the band of people affected.. Other categories of workers are getting lower say €203 a week.

As I stated, those getting 350 a week will still have to pay their rents/mortgages, electricity & gas bills.. Only that it is deffered and no bank will pressure them to pay. Banks ain't no Santa. These people are actually losing money staying at home.. OP was making it look like they are making money staying home.

See an average rent in Limerick:

If you don't know, university education is subsidized, treatment in general/govt hospitals is subsidized, the roads being constructed in your state where do you think the money comes from? do you expect me to start listing everything for you? our leaders are bad but I can still pick some things tax are being used for. True much more should be done




Roads that will wash off when rainy season starts, these days school fees in public uni is almost the same with some private uni if you calculate everything. There are so many things you are obviously not aware of grin. You sound like someone that has been abroad for a long time. I for update you but the matter plenty I no fit talk am finish grin

My experience in Ireland so far has been trailed with mixed feelings due to the coronavirus. The country is experiencing its worst ever pandemic - with nearly 3000 confirmed cases of the virus and 54 deaths recorded. The government has ordered a lockdown for some months to curb the spread and minimize the effect of the virus in the European country.

The nationwide lockdown has left the country’s public spaces hushed and deserted amid overwhelming public support for extreme measures to control the pandemic. Dublin city and other usually bustling urban centres are now like ghost towns..

In my area in Limerick city, the vast majority of the population appear to be following appeals to stay at home except to buy food, care for vulnerable people, do work deemed essential or briefly exercise.

The government has taken a very good measure to cushion the effect of the pandemic on its residents. Residents whose jobs and businesses closed due to coronavirus are being paid 350 euro PER WEEK. Those enjoying this benefit include Nigerians and other nationalities (both students and workers) who are living in the country. Many Nigerians received their alerts today being Tuesday and were greatly overjoyed.. People are being paid to stay at home and be safe. The payment will go on for 12 weeks...that's 3 months. Just chill at home and get paid.

€350 X N420 (about N147,000) per week.
€1400 X N420 (about 588,000) per month.

Monthly rent is €325 while €50-€70 (depending on your spending capability) can go for groceries for the month. This only happens in civilized countries where the government take good care of their people.


That's a country that values life. Can't speak same of Nigeria
Re: Coronavirus Lockdown: A Nairalander In Ireland Shares His Experience (Photos) by armyofone(m): 9:43pm On Mar 31, 2020
That amount no go far at all. It won't cover your monthly bills and food sef.
1200 - cable/internet, cell, water, light, gas, trash, CC, rent/mort, pest control, hoa and many more etc

drakeli:

Just $400 you are crying like this. The US own is $1200 for father, another $1200 for mother while each of the kids in the household will collect $500. Now can you imagine how much a family of six will collect?

Stop lying, this is a shared apartment..and if there are 3-4 bedrooms in that house.. You are talking about €1500-€2,000 with other tenants in the house.. An average person earning 38k - 78k a year with a wife and kids..will not share 2-3bed apartment with other people.

That foreigners share rooms and live like 'isale eko' residents does not mean the locals live like that. People are actually depressed, they can't go out and make money... Stop lying and misleading people... Who in the world live on 50 eur a month as you stated.. Bloody liar.. Money wey no buy one bottle of Jack Daniels.

See country where things work. But here in Nigeria u no go see shishi. Mama Faruq will still increase #300 yellow rubber garri to #800. €350 per week for staying at home. Even when the rent per week is just €50 - €70 per week. When will Nigeria get better for God sake and this is ordinary Ireland o. It can't be ok for those morons defending this government for just 30k. I need to find a way out of this shithole.

Things work yet they are dying. Mr Man FG have started paying the vulnerable and Lagos State has started sharing food.

So it's now a crime to live in a shared apartment. We are 4 Nigerians living in a 4 bedroom Duplex. Everyone has his/her bedroom. I stay in a double bedroom. I said 50-70 euro for groceries..... So Jack Daniels has now become grocery right? I can really see your level of reasoning.

Anyway, your moniker says it all.

Well, each to his own. However, I cannot accept that your perception of reality is more valid than mine. Every previous mythology has been replaced, from Zeus, Jupiter, Olodumare, to Ra, all self confident and certain they were correct. It will be only a matter of time for Yahweh to be replaced by a more compelling myth... perhaps at the barrel of a gun or blade of cutlass. I could easily express my "I'm sorry" to you for your faith in a non-existent entity that allows people to die from the same viruses he created, but instead will agree to disagree:

It's hard for rational people to turn to someone they don't believe exists.
It's hard for the faithful to abandon indoctrination about someone they believe exists.

If you don't mind, I'll like to ask you a question. Do you think the big bang is real?

Thank You for admitting it's a shared apartment..that buttresses my point that you are misleading Nigerians.. The fact remains people are depressed as they cannot make as much as they are making if working...but We are all willing to stay home and fight this virus together... Stop deceiving Nigerians that people are happy and living in paradise in the face of this pandemic.

People are losing their loved ones on a daily basis and cannot even attend the funerals.. You are here talking about being happy staying at home..
