You can LIE!
Cheee

There is scarcity of anti-venoms. Some hospitals don't even have.

Btw, who is at fault for the JOHESU strike? Shouldn't the visiting president do something about it?

Excuse me sir! Who are you calling "Visiting President"? You don't have respect or what? A whole T-Baba is a VISITING PRESIDENT? Chai... Naija is no longer his home

Amorim did this guy dirty sha... But he has a chance of cutting it this month... If he said "Win 10 matches in a row", we'll know he doesn't want to cut his hair. Winning 5 matches in a row is supposed to be a normal thing for the Top 4 or Top 6 teams

Very sweet feeling. You no go know when you donate 5 years salary give the school

Omo... Is this the same Man U that Amorim said was not good enough?

Hungrychicken:
Management fee
Legal fee
Caution fee
Security fee
Agent fee
Rent
Landlord Drink money (for Port Harcourt residents)

All this fee for one individual?☹️
How we wan take survive, I’m not even talking of furnishing up the house.

Na you wan rent house inside town. Go to outskirts, the agents are not that bold. You'll see a bigger house, spacious compound, better amenities, etc for a fraction of what you'll see same in the town

MartinCorridon:
You alone splattering the FP with multiple comments.

Seems the article touched a nerve. Greed often doesn't solve the problem of poverty. It accentuates it.

Even Dangote did not start like this, he made sure he sold cheap first before he attained a monopoly. That is why most of una will NEVER attain such levels.

Continue

I wish it touched a nerve in me. I'm a tenant, both home and office. I have a property which I left in the hands of my friend who is a lawyer.

No boss, I don't even want to be as rich as Dangote. I'll spoil market for competitors.

About this agent matter, I have friends who are property agents. They can make only 1 or 2 sales in a whole year. Abeg... If them no see food chop, na me (family and friends) go suffer am. Allow them earn their money since they ain't committing any crimes

Mitsurugi:
Because it's either he's an agent or speaking from a place of privilege. I'm speaking from experience.

He might be an agent, but I'm not. I might be privileged (I have my business, and I also have a job), but it doesn't stop my objectivity in this matter. This is because I imagined the agents to be in my shoes, and I in theirs. Plus, personally, if your agent fee exceeds 10%, I'm not interested in the property you want to sell or lease. Another agent can match my offer; I'll go for them instead

molas02:
Exactly sir. Bail is free, prepaid meter is free, personnel wears are free, free medical and free education. Which one is in reality in Nigeria. U guys did not protest against all this, na agent wey no dig hand for una pocket get problems with u. Wen u get to hospital and they ask u to collect hospital card, did u complain?

Don't mind them. You want to pay agent 100k for a 5m house which he'll collect just once in all your 10 years of staying in the house; yet, he'll go to the same market with you and the landlord (who will collect another 5m in 12 month time), he'll use the same hospital, buy fuel in same fuel station, pay same school fees, plus he might be paying his own rent too ooo

success1smyn:
I believe you can read very well, go back and read. All those you said up there made no sense.

They said reported case of election violence and you are here typing INEC bla bla bla.

During data collection, there's a particular error or bias that might affect your analysis or conclusions. This, in this case, is the confounding bias I'm trying to question.

"Reported cases of violence"
Questions: Where were they reported? How were the data collected? Did they check all sources? (Let's say they collected from police stations... How many stations per state? All over the state or only state capitals? When were the data collected? Did they collect south east in January 2026, and collected southwest in May 2023?). Too many questions on the methodology.

South east don't do much kings and obas. So... What if some of the violence cases were reported to the oba and emir instead of the police? What if people reported to NSCDC, Imams and Pastors? I mean, what if there were no avenues to even go to report to the police (eg., police stations were under attack?)

There is a reason why statistics are not quoted by the Nigerian Government unless it's coming form the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS). Lets read wide and beyond our fields as Nigerians. Let's make discussions deep and worth our while

Mitsurugi:
You should have just shut up instead of this nonsense you wrote.

It's not nonsense. He's very correct

If an agent's fee doesn't suit you or your money, find someone else. Stop eying people's income; you're not Government!!!

If 10 potential tenants bypass you and patronise your neighbor that charges less, you'll learn to reduce your fee or starve.

If the tenants too don't mind the fee, then we as a tatafo people have no business disturbing their earnings. Shikenan!

Allow market forces to decide agent fee. Alternatively, use your leg (or fuel) take go and locate all the vacant houses in the area you're looking to rent from. That fee is for all their life's problems combined. It's for your own convenience too, and Government's tax

If e reach your turn as an agent, collect 2k agent fee.

I'm not an agent, but I don't like it when people want to put a cap on people's income. He might successfully rent out only 1 house in a month or 2. Is it the 20k you want to pay him that he'll survive on?

If his fees are too much for you, find another agent.

In addition to my job, I help people purchase goods. Tell me what you want (say Rice). I'll use my money to buy at 60k, then I'll give it to you at 70k, maybe 80k. If you think my fee is high, try someone else. My extra fee is for my brand, reliability, dedication, loyalty, etc.

lebete3000:
Come teach me research abeg. Correct guy!

Don't mind me. But ask me your questions, I'll do my best to answer you

Too many useless statistics. Wrong methodologies filled measurement error, sampling bias, cherry-picking of data, tiny sample size, confusing correlations with causation, etc. Then again, even worse analysis or should I call it outright manipulation? Jeez!!!

I just remembered confounding bias. Election violence reported... Could it be in areas where INEC had stolen the will of the people?

It's called "Awuren zumunta". Learnt this during my NYSC; Patience told me about it. It's very normal

plantist:
You don't even want anyone to associate Anambra State with anything negative but you can abuse a whole tribe. Your hypocrisy stinks

Can you please show me one place where I abused a whole tribe? No... 1 place where I abused anyone tribally. Just 1 place, and I'll apologize wholeheartedly, delete the post, and send 20k to any account number that you'll provide.

Doesn't matter if the tribe is Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. By the way, I'm not from Anambra; but I'm Igbo, live in the North, and one of my bosses (the most senior) is Yoruba. In all good conscience, I know why I cannot insult any tribes in Nigeria. I have travelled round, and I have lived in and have friends in most of the Nigerian states. Why should I insult their tribes with my clear mind?

However chief, if you can't find a single place where I have tribally insulted anyone, please apologize to me. Thank you sir

Its better than celebrating bucket and water in my a state that should be a model for the new Nigeria that is POssible bro

Just shut up. What's up with this dick measurement? Kai... Shame on you

Such a dedicated lady... My sister, na man you be

Bhella5:
Only in Anambra
Peter Obi> Trader> Governor
Result= F9
Education Commisioner Commissioner>ACP
How now?

Pray to grow to become the type of "trader" Peter Obi is. Saying he's a trader is him just being humble. It's just like Dangote telling you he's a business man without explaining further. Your mind go first think say na "buying and selling" or agent work, until you look closely and ask questions.

Obi is a business mogul, well educated; much more than I could ever dream of. Have you seen his CV? He sat at the very top of Fidelity Bank... This position is not a joke man... Bro, politics aside, make we give respect to person wey deserve am

I pay 42% tax every month in Germany but if:
1. I loose my job, the govt pays me 60% of my salary and help to find a new one
2. I have access to 3 years leave if I have a baby with a percentage of my salary and my job will wait for me until I resume.
3. Education is free in govt schools from primary to PhD
4. For every child I have, they get paid €250 monthly until they turn 18
5. I can buy a monthly ticket of €56 monthly and can travel all around the country via train (not high speed) and buses.
6. At any emergency, once you call the ambulance, it arrives within 20 minutes
7. Deffribilators and SOS access are available at every train station and high ways.
8. If I get stock in a country, I call the govt and they come to my support.

Let me stop here.

You that will pay about 30% tax in Nigeria that was copied 90% from the UK tax law, what will you get?

WHEN SIRENS DO NOT COME, WE ARE ALL POOR

No matter how wealthy you are as an individual Nigerian, we are all collectively poor. Deeply poor. Painfully poor.

You only understand this truth in moments of crisis.

A fire breaks out, there is no fire service.
An accident happens, there is no first aid, no ambulance, no coordinated response.

Recently, a world boxing champion was involved in a car accident in Nigeria. Not one ambulance arrived. Not one trained responder. People gathered around him like it was a carnival. Phones out. Noise everywhere. No safety protocol. No order. Two lives were lost that day.

Last month, an aide to a sitting governor was stabbed at a political event. Instead of emergency care, someone carried him on their shoulder. A human being bleeding, lifted like luggage. No ambulance. Not even for someone close to power.

That is real poverty.

In Nigeria, money does not guarantee safety. Influence does not summon emergency care. Fame does not activate systems. When it truly matters, when life hangs in the balance, everyone is equally exposed.

This is not poverty of wallets. It is poverty of structure. Poverty of planning. Poverty of leadership. Poverty of urgency.

To the rich and influential Nigerian who believes demanding a better country is the job of the poor masses, hear this clearly. In an emergency, you are just as vulnerable as the man on the street. Your wealth cannot replace a missing system. Your connections cannot substitute trained responders.

A country without emergency response is a country living on borrowed time.

Nigeria can be better, but only if we demand better. Demand functioning emergency services. Demand trained responders. Demand accountability. Demand systems that work for everyone, rich or poor.

Silence is expensive. Indifference is deadly.

Let us stop clapping at chaos and start insisting on competence. Let us move from sympathy to action. From outrage to responsibility.

Nigeria deserves better. We deserve safety. We deserve dignity. We deserve a country that shows up when life is on the line.

Rest in peace to the departed. Wishing speedy recovery to all the injured.

Now is the time to speak. Now is the time to demand change.

Oya naa... Business man and his goons want to cashout. But it's a welcome development. Let Nigerians own the refinery, let's see how they'll support anyone to sabotage it

SmartPolician:
The EFCC doesn't work with hearsay. They need petitions and hard facts so they don't go to court and disgrace themselves.

But they hunt yahoo boys like game. They don't wait till they are petitioned. My point? Once there is an economic/financial crimes rumor, they are supposed to investigate. If it turns false, prosecute the rumor monger(s). If it's true, sue the economic saboteurs to court!

faceland:
Prices am seeing here would make me lose appetite... Any women that sees you spend and don't tell you claim down is the real red flag.

Calm down. It's obvious you're not in Lagos or Abuja. Those prices are for "Gardens" in Abuja, or if you visit upper end restaurants (not high ends ooo), these are the prices you'll see.

You see those "senior" restaurants in Maitama... Cocktails fit reach 70k sef. Salad like 27k

Wait... Lemme share Farm City Menu with you. After all those prices, add 7.5% of that money as vat

brain54:
If you are complaining about the pressure...

Or strict conditions that the grading system puts on the kids and that it overworks them then that's a different talk altogether.

Most of the Asian countries like Japan and China have the same problem of overwork and not balancing family life with work. But this doesn't result in low birth rates except you telling me it affects their biological makeup somehow that enables them not to be able to birth kids in the future that makes the birth rate drop.


Korean has many reasons for dropping birthrates including high cost of living, education etc but grading shouldn't be described as a contributory factor to low birth rates!

You make valid points. However, you seem not to understand his point...

Imagine my wife and I know the stress our parents went through in raising us... We are in the system now, but not buoyant enough to give our kids the kind of life we would want them to have; we can simply decide to birth none.

Secondly, when we know what it takes to help a child achieve 90 and above (extra lesson, nutrition, excursions, exchange programs, etc), and the pressure it puts on the children, we could decide to birth just 1 kid, and raise them to the standards mostly accepted by the society. This, if done by everyone in the country, unfortunately causes a 50% decline in the total population (after just 2 generations).

This data is obsolete. Nigeria has more than what is stated

What a Dunce. Clever by half my A$$. Because they are depicted as such makes it ok according to you. It is stereotyping and it is wrong. Keep using English to step on your brain.

You’ve mistaken your tantrum for intellect. It’s cute- like watching a toddler try to do calculus. It's really very cute. I mean, you lash out like someone who’s been ignored by smart people for too long. I understand, trust me.

Arrowhead71:
They also do runs girls...plenty
They also do drugs

More drug dealers are southerners; more runs girls are southerners; more bandits and terrorists (almost all) are northerners. True or false?

This doesn't mean I call all northerners bandits, neither do I call all southerners touts, druggies or whores
