Continue deceiving yourself with useless propaganda.

Iran is a country with abundance agriculture produce.

Abundant agricultural produce? Seriously? How come people are not trooping to get visa to Iran?

Justrite007:
Dey play you way dey mushin

That is their way. They will tell you how they lived in America, and have travelled the world, but na Mushin or Ajegunle dem dey. People who have travelled far and wide, and who live abroad do not come online to brag. Na the ones wey dey stay Sagamu or Mushin dey always brag online.

LOL... No be everyone poor like ur ancestors.

I left Nigeria after my masters degree in telecommunications engineering for another masters degree in the US before relocating to the UK.


Why are you scared of answering my questions? I will repeat the questions again for you


1) Who told you the streets of western countries are littered with gold?
2) Who told you every one in the west are living like prince and princesses?

I have blocked you. Kiddo

Nor be only Masters degree in Telecommunications. Na Mattress degree in Pelecomics. Look for little kids in Sagamu to tell that, not me.

Abeg goan sit down for corner.

I currently live in London, I have visited 6 countries including the US. I lived in the US for 18 months so I don't know what you are talking about

Who told you the streets of western countries are littered with gold?
Who told you every one in the west are living like prince and princesses.

There are poor people in every single country of the world but western countries are good at presenting a very good image about their countries while people like you will just be attacking Nigeria at every flimsy excuse

Come to the west and see how your country men are cleaning shit from the bum bum of elderly while people.

You current live in London that is located at the back of Sagamu.

Brain54 romances poverty. His mindset is limited by suffering under tinubu. That's why he dees positive transformation as an impossibility.

Lol. You are funny.

Kemetian:
SHUT UP.

DO POLITICIANS OWN YOUR LIFE AND DEFINE YOU?

WHY DOES YOUR ENTIRE HEAD REVOLVE AROUND 'POLITICIANS'?

DID POLITICIANS COOK THE FOOD YOU ATE TODAY?

TRIBALISM IS ALL THAT IS BOTHERING YOU.

CURE YOUR HEAD.

Kiddo, the thing touch your bone marrows. Kiddo

fineboynl:
STOP saying Nigeria. they are fresh people in Nigeria.

she was poor and live below the poverty line.

if she had moved to the city in Nigeria like Abuja. she would have changes as well.

Some of you just like to argue for the sake of it. So Abuja is no longer part of Nigeria? Abuja now has a separate economy and government?

stuffs2002:
Nothing special.... She just baff up ni so stop attacking Nigeria

She is looking better because she cleaned up and added fake hair and the glasses. Their are people who are as old as her but looking better in Nigeria.

She only came into more money.

Some homeless people in US also look terrible until they baff up

.

Nigeria has already attacked herself, and people like you who sing praises for corrupt and inefficient politicians are part of the attackers

If you believe in that transformation, then you surely will believe Peter Obi will win the next presidential election!

I am sure Peter Obi gives you nightmares. That is why you mention his name on every thread. Grow up.

Those two women aren't the same people...


Make una dey lie small small!

You need glasses from an optometrist?

Just a content creator. Let her go back to Nigeria.

See the difference between this woman when she was in Nigeria, and how she presently looks after her grand daughter who travelled abroad took her out of Nigeria, and brought her to the US.

Poverty and suffering can make you look twice your age. Poverty nor good. It can torture not just you, but your entire lineage if it is not broken.

Granddaughter shares the before-and-after transformation of her 76-year-old grandmother after leaving Nigeria, and the striking change has left many questioning the quality of life in Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/JbhyRxKKLJ

Drones lost...



Not even a fuss about it. Just order another one. No probe... no search for how they got missing.


Afterall, it's Government property. Zero accountability.


Buy new ones>go missing again>cycle continues.


Those missing security drones in the hands of the wrong people is a security threat. But ofcourse, everyone is non challant about it.


Afterall it's Government property!

That is one serious problem in Nigeria. There is no accountability. Nobody gets punished for criminal doings.

This is a result of people giving birth without any plans of catering for the kids. Later, they will become a nightmare in the society.

Abeg add yours if you get any surugede or gbudugbudu proverbs.

nairalanda1:
And you cannot ask a company to charge for its services at a price below what it costs to provide those services. It will not be able to do so efficiently

Plus all of you paid for the poor GSM services in the early days of MTN and Econent when at one point you could not call between network. With high prices. It was because of that that the GSM were able to make enough profits to improve things. Same thing happening in the petroleum sector

Power sector has historically had most people underpaying for power and even now band A that pays full price are a minority. And at least 20% of customers do not pay

So what do you expect?

It's like expecting a 17 year old who has not eaten well in weeks and is malnourished to pass JAMB with a score of 400

Must you support the inefficiency of the system just because of ethnic or political sentiments?

Nicotinekills:
Life is not always calculated like this ooh
Have seen a girl who had two children at home and still went ahead to marry the richest man from my place then she changed her family's story

I have seen a stark illiterate get opportunity to work for a woman as a maid and then the woman took her abroad and she married a white man

I have seen a bricklayer whose very poor wife from a very poor background changed her husband's story after her brother made it and remembered her.

I as a person is a testimony of the fact that life has no calculation

That is the problem with some of you. 'I know one man who did this, I know one woman who did that'. It shows you lack knowledge of the complexities of a modern society. Life deals with reality. What you see everyday. Not one man who you know who did this, or one woman you know who did that.

Life knows no emotions or sentiments. It deals with you irrespective of what you feel.

REALretep:
Your problem is that your mind is wired to worship money... that money is the answer to all things

So you see and explain everything away from the viewpoint of money.
You think life is all about making money...

Just be ready for the shocker life will give you

You must not comment on every thread you see. If you feel the content of a thread is beyond your mental capacity, just move to the next thread, because it seems you do not understand a single bit of what I posted.

Nor be by force to make comments.

Many people in Nigeria still think that the expectation of a man to hustle and carve a nich for himself is exclusively a male thing, but times are really changing, and it is either you embrace realities, or you get stuck in the murkish waters of despair.

I will illustrate the theme of this writeup with a short true life story of someone I met some years ago in Enugu.

I met a man about 5 years ago in Enugu. He was a brick layer (Legbuke worker) working at a site close to my house. This man would always come to the shop in my compound where I sometimes relaxed in the evenings. We talked sometimes and I got to know his wife and children. He is from Ondo State while the wife is from Asaba. I used to see six children in his abode. I thought they were all his children until I got to know that only four children were his. The last two were given birth to by his first daughter, a 17 years old girl! She got pregnant for a fellow brick layer like her father, who cannot even cater for the kids. She had to bring them back to her father's house. They weren't well cared for, neither were they attending school. The daughter did not attend school, neither was she skilled in any know craft. This is how poverty is multiplied. This is how social misfits are produced to become menace to the society.

As a young girl from a struggling home, whatever burden that is placed on your male counterpart to strive and become useful in the society, is also placed on you as a female. Don't be deceived or else, you go suffer well well.

First, coming from a humble background, life dey win you 1:0. Your parents' financial condition is not a curse. It is a sign that you should work hard on adding value to your life. If you cannot go to school, learn a good craft. Valuable men are always attracted to valuable women. If you have no education, skills, goals in pursuance, or trade expertise, you will become a prey to NFA (No Future Ambition) men. Getting pregnant for or even bonding with men who have no plans, blueprint, or resources to cater for family is a disaster and a direct multiplication of poverty in geometric progression.

The era of women sitting and waiting for already-made men to come and rescue them from lack is long gone, because if he is valuable and you are not, you will never have value in his eyes. He knows your worth.

Mothers should teach their female kids that the same burden that is placed on a man to strive and succeed is the same burden that is placed on a woman too.

Behind a successful man that wins the bread, stands a successful woman that wins the akara.

runningriot:
If not because you are a bitter person dying of animosity why will you record police officers for content creation. Why will you do so to make mockery and caricature of their personalities! If people think it is easy of being a police officer let them join or encourage their children to partake in it after all everybody is a Nigerian citizen and part of citizen participation entails security participation by everybody that is why conscription is one of the only mandatory laws of the country!

It is so unfortunate that someone who calls himself a youth would have such low way of thinking in 2026 when the world is advancing rapidly.

Police officers who go against the ethics of their profession are recorded everywhere in the world. Nigeria cannot be an exception. This man doesn't know what he is saying.

Noisy neighbours with their surplus children. You nor fit sleep during daytime, even on weekends! You could only sleep at night when the noisy kids of the noisy neighbours would be sleeping.

Nigerian politics and the abracadabra system.

BrickandLace:
Fine. That's ok.
