The average Nairalander isn’t exactly going to see this as a good step.

Any updates?

Foolish man. a family member must have put an X on him

only a mad man will kill himself like that

Or a man under immense pressure.

This is what can happen when Nigerian parents pressure their kids into marriage. It’s not your auntie Celyn’s marriage or your mum’s. You have to be ready, and the timescale isn’t to be rushed. If you marry, it should be because that’s what you want and you think you’re ready to seal the commitment, not because your parents and certain aunties just want you to get married.

Bros. abeg do something for you boy too nah!

If no be AI you use compose text

Check you manner of approach.

You don’t sound soft

First of all, I detest people using AI to write. I could never be that person.

your ancestors don swear for you wallahi. Food kill you there. Amongst all na only food you see talk. Now spitting nonsense. Your mates are in African living in the luxuries you are bragging about but instead your own na to dey fool yourself while washing the white man’s pants and toilets claiming you’re living a better life. Nonesense fella. If all Africans should leave for abroad who will remain?
Na your type dey mak white men look down on us too easily
White man using your own resources in abundance and paying you peanuts from it you and you are proud. People leave yankee to live in their home country and doing well

Nothing you say that exist there, can ever be like the home country it’s coming from.

You for sey iya alagbo full there too na.

Spoken like someone who a.) doesn’t know me at all and b.) has never left the village. Don’t think I’m some latest JAPA recruit. You don’t know what I’ve done for black people in general and Igbos across the globe. Don’t think I’m some uncle Tom who sucks up to the white man for the sake of it. You really don’t know me.

Shikena:
Of course he is.

Clearly. Don’t mind him.

Afolue:
abroad life kill you there.

How affordable is it and how easily gotten.?

Black cheap slave..!

African food shops are everywhere, you fool. The ones in the U.K. (from Peckham to Doncaster to Granby Street) are generally cheaper than the Naija market. Yes, certain particular things might not be as fresh or easily available (like Abakaliki rice, efo-tete, ugboguru) but otherwise you can get everything you need, and people do and have done for the past-several decades. This nonsense-idea that Nigerians abroad have to make do with non-Nigerian food needs to stop. Only a person totally ignorant of life abroad would say that.

Life’s tough at the best of times wherever you are in the world but Naija feeding isn’t a problem for Nigerians abroad who live in nations where there are sizeable Afro-Caribbean communities.

Mind yourself, because if I disgrace you now you honestly won’t like it.

Chin-chin and akpu are sold on the streets of London and you think nothing dey U.K.?

rent for half of a one room abroad monthly is the price for a 2 bedroom flat yearly in africa is that contentment? Paying fo 24 hours electricity in a place where you barely stay at home how does that make sense?. Isn’t that a waste?. Organic foods abroad, natural foods in Africa, compare that! Abroad you work till you die, Africa you work when you decide to as long as you barely pay pressing bills. Isn’t that a blessing? You can’t loose a job abroad for one month straight, the person will sleep in the bridges under intense weather conditions but in Africa many are jobless but still yet have “roofs” over their heads. They shuttle as they like. Too many to talk about. God is great, no standard of life is useless totally. Tis why I said contentment is the wealth of nature. People in Africa, has priceless privileges.

If you’re sick abroad, you must go to hospital be it you have money or not but in Africa the herbs are there…

Think deeply…

Are you one of those idiots who thinks you can’t get African food abroad?

Amazon would be a start.

That second photo is almost deliberately unflattering.

God1000:
Is America heaven? Our black people mostly Nigerians keep disgracing us

I’d say the African-Americans who are really about the ghetto-hood disgrace themselves a lot more. Nigerian-Americans tend to be more of a thang of pride.

Are you really asking that in this current economy?

lebete3000:
Ofe N'sala is just a modified form of catfish peppersoup sha

Exactly.

NothingDoMe:
Na small thing commot nsala soup from peppersoup.

Yep.

It’s a common thing. Heck, some people manage ofe-nsala with rice.

ty4real:
Ogun-State!And why ddnt you it as part of the state

Is it not Calabar?

Hmm. Edo State and accidents.

R.I.P. to the deceased.

idahme:
Why don't you scoop sand on the ground and eat or scoop gutter and drink? Isn't it in your natural environment? Did you even read to note one if the chemical composition?

Why don’t you eat rats raw? Are they not in your natural environment? Do our bodies have endo-filthy-rat systems just like they have endocannabinoid systems?

Marijuana ain’t deadly. Your title’s fundamentally flawed. Alcohol’s deadly. Cannabis isn’t.

Treasure17:
Can't fix something basic as electricity since 1960.

It’s terrible, innit?

This initiative of the parents should not be termed "pressure". The parents are merely giving the children desired FOCUS in life. Even if you choose to call it pressure, you must agree that it is usually subtle and without acrimony. The parent's push is just a gentle urge to make the children go for the responsible option in life. Indeed, it is a godly legacy that every parent must pass on to the children. They are undertaking a reasonable and desirable godly obligation for which they must be understood and not criticized.The urge from parents should not be taken as a stampede to take nervous decisions. They should be seen as loving persuasions to do what is godly. The world prefers the reign of free and unrestrained sex between mature men and women. But God has since taught many HIS acceptable use of sex within marriage. A supporter of marriage is an agent of God. Easily, the oppossers of marriage,in whatever sense, at sexual maturity are conscious or unconscious agents of devils.

It is pressure, though. Shut your mouth.

It's a simple white rice with stew.


They were a little bit economical with
their the stew though 🙁

Yeah, I can see that. That’s why I asked.

Xidget:
Lunch

Rice & Banga Stew

Good-ol. ofe-akwu.

adecz:
Simple takeaway meal.

No beans, no plantain 😋

White rice 🍛 & assorted 🍖 🥩

Is that like a stew or just assorted meat with the accompanying “sauce”, so-to speak?

Gerrard59:
To be fair though, there is really no job that has lost its "respect". The advice for young entrants would be to have a strong math foundation, get into a good school preferably notably a federal university/polytechnic or top-rated private university, get a good grade and be well informed of the career/academic opportunities as they come by. Also, be prepared to change locations, especially at an early stage, if necessary.

Some ignorant people will come to say "Jobs are slavery". A big lie as the world has more employees than employers, and the most successful employers once worked somewhere or places to either raise their capital and/or garner experience within a structured environment.

That’s kind of the point.

immortalcrown:
Journalism is one of the jobs that have lost dignity and respect. It fetches money but is perceived as a rotten (corrupt) job.

I just hate clickbait. So long as journalists can swerve that, I have a lot of time and respect for them, especially since I’m a bit of a writer myself.

alpharoyalty:
Bread and toothpaste 😁

WHAT?!

Mariangeles:
Bread and mayonnaise is not weird.

The one I don't get is noodles with bread.

The problem is sandwiches per-se aren’t so popular in Nigeria, otherwise more people would know that mayo. is just as much of a condiment for sandwiches as butter, pretty-much. Me, I’m not into mayo. and I’m not a big sandwich person but somehow fillings, including cheese and certain sauces, sauces, become a lot more in-line with many people’s tastes when it’s between two slices of bread. That’s kind of the point of a sandwich/buttie, still.

Omanambala:
[b Igbo igbono soup[/b] and nni Oka

Rice and stew with goat meat and chicken

Ogbono that’s not cooked by Igbos or Edos, is that one even ogbono, sef?

Better luck next time, r Reds. Seriously.
