Even the most gullible knows this man is innocent unlike that Air peace scammer the Elder elder distance blooder of Invictus

Comment: Unnecessary. Stupid. Tribalistic. Myopic. Waste of data etc.

No to tribalism. Yes to progressive thinking.

Primusinterpares:
Interesting... Way to go...
Can it be sustained?

Good question. However, when we get to that sustainability 'bridge', we will cross. Let's go with the momentum and see where it leads.

Laudable and life-changing initiative and endeavour.

gaetano:
Well, shebi Yoruba people said we should all endure this for 8 years so they will takeover in 2023. Ewedu politicians ehn

Do we have to resort to misplaced tribal jabs before making comments? #Ewedu politicians/#Brown Roofs...etc.

Nepotism as a result of tribal or religious affiliations and other Nigeria's problems didn't start today, it has been in existence for decades.

So instead of shifting blames, having 'smart' opinions or making rude comments, let's denounce issues that affects the progress of this nation.

kingxsamz:
..where's Ronaldo?

I think you sentimentally omitted the word 'young'.

Davash222:
See as Ike Ekweremadu resemble one heavy thug from Ogbomoso.

Why are you needlessly trying to display your tribal pettiness?

If you have nothing better to do, take sleeping pill. Na better life we are all aspiring for, not divisive and unproductive agendas.

nairavsdollars:
Yorubas are the ones benefiting the most from this Buhari government, both in terms of projects and appointments

Haba...wetin bridge maintainance and gutter clearing relates to your allegations?

Please let's promote unity and avoid unnecessary tribal pettiness.

Klass99:
I can relate to this post. I had a school mate schooling and working in Russia. She often had to fall back on money contributed by her siblings in Naija to survive. She didn't stay back after school, she came home.

My own cousin returned from Australia, after his Masters. He said the system over there won't allow you live a very comfortable life. Everything is billed and taxed to a point where, you can hardly afford nice but expensive things for yourself.

He said most of the people he befriended had never been on a plane or travelled outside their states of residence, because by the time they are done paying bills, there's very little left for travel. Travelling for them, would mean a financial plan of 6 or 8 months ahead for that trip.

Different strokes for different folks.

From my personal experience, majority of Nigerians in the diaspora are doing ok in all walks of life and supporting their relatives and other loved ones in Nigeria in their own little or big ways, depending on their circumstances...as evident by the $25 billion remitted in 2019 from all corners of the world.

No where in the world is perfect but the relative higher quality of life and living standards will always be a big factor. One can have lots of money in Nigeria for instance but the security of lives and property could be a major concern.

eazzzy1:
Are you a Nigerian? do you have friends and family in diaspora or home who are doing well for themselves but will ignore your request to send money all the time? before you call them stingy or wicked, here are some of the reasons why rich friends do not give out money;

1. They don't have enough: Enough is subjective, someone can earn as much as $100,000/annum but feel he's not earning enough, some people have these dreams of being wealthy and that salary isn't sufficient to get them there. So you have a friend/relative who works in a big firm abroad, you think he's rich, he thinks he isn't earning enough. Even millionaires have needs too.

2. You are not the only one making financial demands: You think you are his best friend because you went to secondary school together and were seat mate or bunk mates in the hostel so automatically he should be predisposed to meeting your needs, well there are primary school best friends, university best friends, first love, NYSC best friends, Neighbours, uncles, aunties, brothers etc who think their request should be met too. It is impossible to meet all these needs.

3. Making financial demand is never a one time thing: I had this habit of giving money to people who ask for financial favors the first time. I thought since they never asked for such before, they must really be in need. I soon found out that after that first time they run to me whenever they need money again, sometimes they space out the request like two months, some every month etc. I then realize that the $100, $200 i send them is never going to be sufficient, they will always come back for more. So i joined the God will provide gang.

4. Yahoo boys : Not every fraudster hacks into companies accounts, or forge the accountants signature, or even find lonely older women/men to scam. Some yahoo boys have resorted to begging, they send you message of how their dad is dying in the hospital, how their sister got arrested for a crime she didn't commit and they need a lawyer bla bla, they call these lies format and once you send them money they pop champagne and call you client.

5. General realization : One day i was going through my bank statement and i noticed i gave out about $500 monthly to family and friends. The same me who will walk into H & M, see a shirt of $40 and think it's too costly. I either buy it grudgingly or wait till it's on sale to buy. I realized i wasn't taking care of myself enough. Most people will come to this realization at a point in their lives.

This thread isn't limited to just people abroad, it include people who work and earn who are home based too. How do you cope with demands?Diasporans what made you rethink your generousity?

Feel free to add yours.

You are so true. I couldn't agree with you more.

However, the most annoying thing for me is the blantant sense of entitlement displayed with some requests.

PureGoldh:
Power don change hands....e don set

What power?

The tribal hatred in this country is so deep-rooted that we relegate sad occurrences like this to mere tribal bickering and point scoring.

It is this disunity that makes other countries to maltreat our citizens all over the world with impunity.

If we cannot cohexist, let everyone stay in their region, village or state, whatever the case may be. A better alternative is for us to put our differences aside, whatever that is, and strongly denounce and condemn acts like this. It is by unity that we can have a stronger voice and not with misplaced 'i better pass you' mentality.

Frankly, I have never heard of this man but all the very best to him and we Nigerians need projects like this to provide employment.

All the tribal bickerings as a result of this gentleman's endeavour is unnecessary and unwaranted.

(1) If you feel he is shady or FBI may soon be on his case, don't fly with the Airline...other detribalised Nigerians like my humble self will and contribute to its growth and celebrate its success.
(2) If you feel the 'brown roofers' are lazy and good for nothing, please move back to your respective 'chrome'-looking roof States and contribute to their respective developments.

No be by force!!!

BabaOwen:
Is there really a need for this kind of comment ? Nah una no dey let people enjoy nairaland politics section again.

I am from the South West and I agree with you that there is no need for this.

Crixxx:
Na we get this lagos

...yes, only in your fucking dreams.

Amotolongbo:
The yoruba man appointed has one head like you with the same anatomical structure like you.

The man was seen in Sierra Leone as a Nigerian, not a Yoruba.

This kinda news is meant to psyche you up into being reasonable in and with life, not tribalizing it.

God bless you.

omoiyamayor:
very insensitive comment,let us be polite with each other, its a way of promoting unity.

You get sense and decorum. Some people on this forum have sewage masquerading as mouths.

J111333:
I smell tribal e-fight from a far already.

...I concur with you. E-mud slinging.

Astrologyfact:
I think she need this Nose Mask

Really? Common man, your joke is out of line and misplaced.

Emmerlee:
Kai, Nigeria is so divided along ethnic lines.. Who will save us from this catastrophe

I tire o. It's disheartening.

The major condemnations to this crime is inter-tribal bickering. There are good and bad people everywhere, and if people are only interested in looking at tribal angles in everything, then there is no hope for this nation.

Impactful decisions to govern, lead and gain credibility, now relies on viral videos?

I am deflated.

PussyKing:
Very funny video

D

It's called precautions not fear. Empty bravado or chest-beating has nothing on Covid 19.

Be wise. Be warned and stay safe.

SLAP44:
Thank God. She should learn to stay in Nigeria, not trying to run away after her people voted for this disaster

Get some sense na...even if it's little.

Not condoning what she did but the real 'thieves' that deprived people like her basic necessities, are given free passes and soft landings, at most.

berryace007:
.
Guy u no get sense at all, you deserve some serious beating

Beating? His case is beyond any known remedy.

horsepower102:
All Aba needs a dedicated 24 hours power supply and good roads and that city will industrialize rapidly.

Unfortunately Aba is in Nigeria.

Aba doesn't have to rely on the epileptic power supply from the national grid. There is something called mini grid where power generation could be generated in and for a specific area.

Necessity is the mother of invention. You don't wait until everything is offered on the plate before you innovate.

FuckDaMods:
She is too fresh and clean to be yoruba...
Igbo amaka

...with this kind of thinking and mental capacity, Nigeria has a long way.

Dicktion:
Igbo amaka .. Afonjas stay off before Coro go wound person

Your tribal pettiness and inferiority complex has further been complicated by Corona virus.

Must you attach yourself with everything?

RuudVanNisteroy:
What does looks have to do with anything

I wonder o.

Effect of a corrupt and excessive misinterpretations of Hollywood movies.

We need CONTRACTORS to disburse cash and other emergency relief materials?

kalufelix:
Yoruba and Igbo girls sha... After all the heavy wife price...Igbo amaka...RIP amaka ...Uk amaka... Quote & die amaka...

Show some compassion please. No need for this.

Yanmiriflathead:
As A Bonafide Israeli Man Of Igbo Descent, I Believe It Is Better To Travel Out Of This Worthless Contraption Called Nigeria Than To Continue To Suffer And Die In This Country. We Igbos Are Not Nigerians And Can Never Be Nigerians Till Thy Kingdom Kom

Ok Sir. You should have been living in Israel now since you class yourself as an Israeli national. Unless of course, they do not class you as their citizen.

Drop this 'Jew' bullshit and face reality.
