The United States has far more poorer people than Russia. The US have a higher poverty rate than even Europe.

You just proved how unintelligent you are and it shows you've never stepped foot outside Nigeria.

You're rating Russia low cuz of the experience of just one friend of yours?

OK let's follow your own logic. What about the thousands of stories we read here on Nairaland about family members in the US and UK who spend 20 - 30 years abroad and return with nothing?

What about the hundreds of stories of Uncles and Aunts who have been in America and UK for 40 - 50 years lives but have never sent one kobo back home due to their financial situation? We read about it every day on this forum.

If you have a family member in the UK you'll understand what I'm saying better. They barely have any spare change to give. Always broke. No investments back home, nothing. Many are forced to bear the shame and return.

Thousands of Nigerians are stranded in the US and UK because what they saw when they arrived was not what they expected before coming.

Some are living from paycheck to paycheck, from one loan to another, from one mortgage to another. Student loan, credit card loans, car loans. Debts here and there. No way to come back home. They have no choice but to keep on borrowing.

It's all a bubble. Success in America and the UK is just a bubble, they're all living on debts.

Who no go no know. When you finally reach there you go know say not all that glitter is gold. Dem no dey tell person.

By the way the best FIFA World Cup ever was the 2022 Qatar World Cup, followed by Russia 2018.

Qatar only came first because they spent a shit ton of money $220 billion and built brand new cities and stadiums. While Russia spent a meagre $12 billion because they already had the infrastructures ready.

Your so called US is Co-hosting with 3 Countries (Canada and Mexico) because they don't have the infrastructure to host it alone. And you aren't even ashamed.

Go and tell what you just told me to people who attended the World Cup in Russia and see what happens to you.

Many of them refused to leave Russia till date, you can Google more on the story.

According to you, Russians are very poor but statistics show that 17% of Americans are living below poverty while 6% of Russians are poor.

I can literally show you hundreds of videos of Americans on the streets in rags begging for food and living in tents near the roads. Even Trump started a campaign to clear the capital Washington of such people.

He literally said it on Live TV, about how dirty and smelly Washington DC have become. Don't you follow the news.

I can show you hundreds of videos of Americans queuing to get food stamps, both white and black. Majority of Americans live on government welfare, everyone knows this, even those that have never step foot in America.

Now I dare you to show me a video or picture of Russians begging on the street.

Don't you have a brain to understand what this means??

Go and sidon......its a sure thing for any society to have homeless people , the good thing is they do make provision to clear them away and give dem some attention , this russia you are always promoting you are a small pikin thats why you dont know anything about russia....there are homeless russians there are homeless chinese japanese australia UK. canada ..france and so on its everywhere , stop making this look its only USA have such societal ills.

America is the one living in old glory gan gan.

All those nice things you see in America were built in the 60's, 70's and 80's.

There haven't been a single new construction project in the US for years now.

But Russia? New factories and infrastructure springing up daily. Do your research.

As for poverty, the US has far more poorer people.

The US poverty rate is 17% while Russia is 6%.

Oga go sidon Russians are very poor compared to Americans ..the poor people in America are non citizens mostly immigrants real white americans are not that poor and even real black americans are also benefiting from the system despite they are lazy

You hate America a lot that just you ....You don't know Russia at all but always support Russia you de mad ..where were you when Russians were begging to eat and queing up in the street to buy bread ....during boris yeltsin regime ...you talk of construction ..lol you sound as if you are the president of America ....to know all major cities and infrastructure updates

In China India and other countries infrastructure decays and bridge train track collapse but when one happen in America we don't rest from your fake sadistic post oga go sidon one place America pass every country on earth

The US is a shit h0le country. Should i show your Kamala Harris hometown? A whole Vice President. Should I show you American villages? They are competing with the dirtiest slums in Africa.

Large swathes of America are disease ridden, poverty stricken, dirty, stinking, drug infested with dilapidated infrastructures.

Is there any country more corrupt than America? Imagine comparing America that has no metro systems to Russia that has the best urbanized cities in Europe. Far better than anything America has.

Did you know that the Baltimore bridge that collapsed last 2 years is America is yet to be constructed? Even the debris haven't been cleared yet.

America is just another Afghanistan with snow.

​The desperate scramble for the N1.2 Billion Copyright Levy at MCSN isn’t about "rebuilding PMAN"—it’s about a final payday.

With his leadership legally voided and the NEC demanding a forensic audit of PMAN’s accounts, the walls are closing in & he has perfected plans to flee the country away from the law.

​ Below is the real motive behind the "World Conference" noise:
​After years of questionable deals, including the controversial Monaco property and unauthorized Joint Venture Agreements, there is a massive financial hole to fill. The Copyright Levy is the only "quick cash" left to cover his tracks.

The PMAN national executive council has called for a full forensic investigation. If Pretty doesn't grab the MCSN money now, he’ll be left facing an empty treasury and a mountain of questions he can't answer.

The industry whisper is getting louder: this isn't a fight for the throne; it’s a fight for the "exit fund." By parading as President, he hopes to induce MCSN into a final payout before the law officially drops the curtain on his era.He isn't fighting for the musicians; he’s fighting for the bag.

Once that money hits the wrong hands, it will likely follow him out of the country.

PMAN members, wake up: Don't let your collective sweat fund someone else's escape away from convictions for his many crimes against the Nigerian musicians.

​ The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has issued an official rebuttal to recent claims made by suspended President, Mr. Pretty Okafor.
The association clarifies that Mr. Okafor remains suspended and has no legal authority to represent PMAN or manage its affairs.

​This statement follows a recent press conference held by Mr. Okafor, which the NEC describes as a "deliberate misrepresentation" of judicial proceedings designed to confuse the public and the music industry.
To protect the integrity of the association and the interests of Nigerian musicians, the National executive council & PMAN leadership outlines the following facts:

* Contrary to Pretty Okafor's claims, no court of competent jurisdiction has granted an order empowering him to oversee or interfere with PMAN operations. The interlocutory injunction he references pertains strictly to property and trade union matters; it does not confer leadership or executive authority.

*​A valid and subsisting judgment restraining Mr. Okafor from acting as President remains effective. He is not the President of PMAN in law or in fact.

*PMAN explicitly states that the Musical Copyright Society Nigeria (MCSN) is legally barred from releasing any funds—including Copyright Levy proceeds—to Mr. Okafor.

*The NEC maintains that Mr. Okafor has no standing regarding PMAN’s financial assets.

​ *The NEC reiterates that Mr. Okafor was dismissed following the mismanagement of association resources. To safeguard the financial future of the union, he will not & can not be entrusted with PMAN funds.

*PMAN urges all members, industry stakeholders, and the general public to disregard any information emanating from Mr. Okafor or his representatives.

His recent press conference is viewed by the NEC as an illegal attempt to undermine due process and institutional stability.

​"PMAN remains committed to legality, transparency, and the protection of musicians’ collective interests. We advise all members to rely exclusively on official communications from the authentic PMAN leadership and its NEC." — Aita Bonny, General Secretary.
​

PMAN CONFIRMS PRETTY OKAFOR REMAINS SUSPENDED & MANDATES ALL STATE CHAPTERS TO RECOGNIZE ACTING LEADERSHIP

​ The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has issued a formal notification to all State Chapters nationwide, directing an immediate and total cessation of all dealings with the suspended Pretty Okafor.
​Following over one year of exhaustive investigations and internal governance reviews, the NEC resolved during an emergency meeting on December 25, 2025, to suspend Mr. Okafor from the office with immediate effect.
This corrective administrative action was taken in strict compliance with the PMAN Constitution (as amended 2023) to restore accountability and institutional credibility to the Union.

​The NEC, which remains the highest statutory administrative and decision-making organ of the Union between National Delegates Conferences, has clarified the following:
​ Comrade Sydney Jack Asowari (Sydney Sparrow), Governor of the PMAN FCT Chapter, has been unanimously nominated and approved as the Acting National President of PMAN.

Consequently, all official communications and directives must emanate solely from the NEC.

No suspended or serving National President has the authority to unilaterally dissolve any Chapter Executive Committee. Any State Chapter Executive found collaborating with the suspended Mr. Pretty Okafor shall be deemed to be engaging in anti-Union activities and will face disciplinary action under Articles 11(M) and 11Q of the Constitution.

​
​This NEC’s resolution was necessitated by persistent constitutional violations and unresolved issues bordering on financial accountability:

​PMAN Biometric ID Card Project: For over four years, members have paid ₦6,000 each for identification cards that have never been produced or sighted. There are no production records, vendor contracts, or financial statements for these funds.

Refusal of Audits: There has been a persistent refusal to subject PMAN accounts to statutory or forensic audits, undermining financial transparency and fiduciary duty.

Abuse of Office: Actions taken by the suspended President were found to be inimical to the stability, integrity, and welfare of PMAN.

The NEC notes that the very members who have now signed this suspension are the same duly elected and recognized signatories who previously recalled Mr. Okafor from a prior NWC-related suspension in August 2024, demonstrating their consistent commitment to fairness and constitutional order.
All State Chapters and members of the public are hereby directed to recognize only the acting leadership of the National Executive Council under Comrade Sydney Jack Asowari and to cease and desist from acting upon any directives from the suspended Pretty Okafor.

​Signed,
The National Executive Council (NEC)
Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN)
​

*PMAN PUBLIC DISCLAIMER AND ADVISORY


The attention of the Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN) National Secretariat has been drawn to a circulating message titled *“PMAN National Database Update (Copy Levy Beneficiary Verification)”* purportedly issued and signed by *Elizabeth Khara Gabriel, Esq.,* claiming to act as Acting General Secretary under the suspended president, Mr. Pretty Okafor.

The general public and all musicians nationwide are hereby advised to DISREGARD and IGNORE the said message in its entirety.

For the avoidance of doubt:


1: Elizabeth Khara Gabriel is not acting on behalf of the legitimate PMAN National Leadership. She was reportedly engaged by the suspended president, Pretty Okafor, whose actions and representations no longer have any legal or administrative standing within PMAN.


2: The said publication is unauthorized, misleading, and deceptive, and forms part of a recurring pattern where musicians are allegedly induced under false pretences—often through so-called “registration” schemes involving fees (commonly ₦6,000)—which funds are then reportedly misappropriated for personal use.


3: PMAN has NOT mandated any individual or platform to collect money, conduct registrations, or verify beneficiaries in relation to Copy Levy or Federal Government intervention funds.


4: Matters concerning Copy Levy, MCSN registration, or access to government funds should be verified directly with MCSN through their official channels. PMAN members are strongly cautioned against dealing with third parties making unilateral claims.


5: The legitimate PMAN National Leadership will issue an official position and guidelines only after an intensive and formal engagement with MCSN, clearly stating:

who qualifies,
the approved process (if any), and the lawful channel for accessing such funds.

Until such an official communication is released, any contrary message should be treated as a scam and reported accordingly.

Signed,

PMAN NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Good morning Nairalanders. Merry Christmas and a prosperous happy new year in advance to each and every one of us here

My girlfriend called me last night to request for money for Christmas hair. She knows I'm presently broke and doesn't have the amount of money she's demandingly for. So I told her to go and cut her hair . She took that as an offense and been angry with me since the conversation started. She has been demanding for 30knfor hair and 80k for clothes for the Christmas. To make the whole matter Worst,she told me the relationship may end along with 2025 if I fail to provide the money for her. Those words have been ringing in my head since she dropped them ,but I'm confused and I don't know if that's enough reason to end a relationship of over 3 years+ which we've suffered to build together,all because of ordinary Christmas hair and clothes . Is she normal at all?

Please my fellow Nairalanders, should I consider this as a red flag and dump her cos I don't think I've done anything wrong to her by asking her to cut her hair . She even looks more prettier on low hair cut ,from her look during the last time she cut her hair

Since you have been sat ng her what have u gained me man....na mumu u be if u give her that money

Most of these policies targeted at ordinary Nigerians are born out pure racism by Trump.
Nigerians in the US are most probably the most educated. Very resilient, very professionally purposeful. Many Nigerians are contributing massively to the us economy and tech advancements. Most are into high tech, academics and research.
To clamp down on all of us just because you prefer migrants from "Sweden and Norway" imply shows how crudely racist Trump and his gang are..

Pure what ..is Nigerians the only black people living in America abeg go sidon

Let America decide for their nation ...let Nigerians go and build their country entitlement mentality no gree let Una see road and corruption

America don't owe u guys anything, it was a privilege and you people misused it right from time

I wish they deport many Nigerians back am talking of those without papers also many Africans back ...to their continent

We are just big for notin
