I am still waiting to see who will make Alex Otti stop developing Abia, I am waiting.

helinues:


Admit you goofed with that early comment.

I don't think he goofed, unless he had mentioned the consumption of the vehicles locally. Every manufacturing development first needs electricity.

Come to think of it, they should support local manufacturers first. Nigerian politicians just keep going round circles and have zero interest of the people at heart. Even if the president means well, these thieves will only venture into what will swell their pockets

Donaldoni:
Be deceiving yourself.

Total is 200k(could be a little more)

Sure @bolded

Thank God

You are the one deceiving yourself, deceiving ignorant people, and being deceived by the people who made the lame comment that 200k salary in Nigeria is better than 2k in uk.

Now you have listed what 200k gets you, using your hand to wash your clothes, with low quality life (no power supply, human right abuses, no security, etc), you did not even include your house rent. It means if you were to pay house rent, then the 200k won't be enough. I didn't see you brag that you also pay driver salary as he had claimed.

I know of a friend who lives in UK, with 3 kids, and yet he saves 500k every month. A lot of people just stay in Nigeria and console themselves and find point to argue that their leaders are treating them welll, instead of holding them accountable.

Please travel to UK, live their for 6 months, then come back let's have this debate.

Donaldoni:
How can people who dare not leave their lights on be happy to use the washing machine

Using machine here can be stressful especially if the cloths are much like ours.

@bolded
Around 25k(could be more) including PMS and gas

Lol, the story they tell you at home. Nobody uses hand to wash any clothe in a civilized society bro.

If you spend 25k weekly, that makes it 100k monthly. Does that mean all your expenses for the month is adequately taken care of?

Donaldoni:
The level of shopping I did yesterday is monthly and I spent a little over 100k. There is the weekly one.

People don't wash with hand abroad Can you afford the power bill

Power bill where? You will also ask me if I can afford internet bill. Washing with hand is a sign of developing or underdevelopment.

So after spending 100k a month how much do you spend shopping weekly?

Donaldoni:
I have a washing machine. I don't use it. It's stressful.
The lady does not use it either.

@Bolded
Sure. That's the calculation.

You missed the point. People don't wash with hand abroad. My question was, after your 100k shopping, when next will you shop again, or do you spend like that every week shopping?

Donaldoni:
One day per week is not equivalent to 4 hours here.
It definitely is more:
1. Clothes are washed.
2. The toilets are washed.
3. The floor is swept and mopped.
This will cost you your salary in UK if you hire someone.

Back to the shopping, I didn't do any conversion.
If I list what I bought here, if you were to buy similar in the UK, you will smell pepper.
Yet I spent just around 100k, maybe a little more, I am yet to ascertain the actual figure.
And the stuff is for the whole month including the Easter celebrations.

Imagine how much this will cost you in the UK

It is a lie bro, can even be done in less than 4 hours. Only number 2 and 3 will take the cleaner's effort. There are washing machines everywhere bro.

You spent 100k shopping? For how long will that last you till the next shopping sir? I like healthy debates.

seunmsg:
If you see nothing wrong in Peter Obi attempting to bribe Northerners with borehole and food, why are you crying over Federal Government’s decision to subsidize hajj payment for Muslims? What’s wrong with two can play the game?

See your reasoning, comparing religion and development. Why didn't the president spend that money on thousands of boreholes in the North? Come on, we should have passed this stage. Religion is supposed to be a private affair, not the governments. The government only need to keep the people safe to practice whatever religion they wish to. Kai, nigerians are still miles behind.

Donaldoni:
For where
It will cost you your entire salary
There is NO misery here mehn
I just returned from shopping. What I bought will cost you a fortune in UK

What is that that you bought that will cost a fortune in the UK? Are you converting to Naira to compare? If yes, did you also convert the salary to compare?

I don't see how the person cannot afford to hire someone to work 4 hrs a week to do house chores. The person will earn exactly what he himself earns per hour. If you have an 8-shift, and hire someone to work for you for 4 hrs, I no see anything difficult there.

Donaldoni:
No. I am not.

It's a one day per week side hustle for the fellow.

But come to think of it, once a week visit can also be affordable to a man in UK. Allen Onyema is one of those who come to comfort Nigerians to remain in misery

Donaldoni:
No. I am not.

It's a one day per week side hustle for the fellow.

Ok. Sorry I didn't get that detail

I thought they were different.

Donaldoni:
Not everybody lives in Lagos...
I pay my maid 4k per month with weekly transport fare.

You are more wicked than jezebel for employing someone and paying her 4k a month, less than a good plate of food worth in Nigeria. You are a ritualist.

Jeon:
I don't know why I'm laughing at the comment above [first comment ], it looks like sarcasm to me.

The comment makes sense

inoki247:
Lol mak person no talk...


With all the we earn in Dollar to travel home for vacation still hard

Apart from good infrastructure and maybe [b]Good health care[/b]all this Japa people basic still dey unaffordable for them too.....

"Good" but not "affordable" in some quarters. In US, some people fit to dey use only prayer follow sickness until dem kpai. In some parts of Europe it is almost free.

Chrisrare:
the woman has a point, why buy her old model when new model is available.

What are you saying? How much is the new model? So if he cannot afford it what should he do? Come on girl

aremubabs:
For the fact that nothing worked for him is enough proof that the miracles from these business centres are FAKE.
Christianity has become one big joke. Pastors are armed with the tools of deception.
They promise you wealth in exchange for your tithes, first fruits and offerings. Then when your giving does nothing for you, they still blame you for not having enough faith. If they thought faith was enough, why swear on the authenticity of the claim that tithing opens doors, and failure to tithe makes things tight?
It is all one big SCAM enabled by a lack of transparency. The church funds lacks transparency and the church members are so carefree that they don't ever demand for accountability.
You have been in a church all your life, paying tithes, offering, first fruits, and all, but you have never asked for how your money is being used. A lack of transparency breeds corruption. Pastors have a free day embezzling or deviating church funds.
And yet these same church members demand accountability from government. They accuse Tinubu of profiting illegally from Lagos fund.
Hypocrites. They don't the log in their own eyes.

Lol, I have never fallen for tithe scam. I have studied the finances of the church I belong to and I know how they are used, no be one man church. So I can tell you that my tithes were never misused. Also, I have never owned a tithe card anywhere, you can't be monitoring my tithe payment when you are not monitoring my spiritual life, which is more important.

Every organisation needs funds to be sustained. Tithing is not by force. Only ignorant christians are cajoled and scammed. Miracle seekers are more likely to be scammed and held with charms.

He didn't answer how he confirmed the miracles were fake. Na dat one I wan hear. One thing in life is that some people think they have superior reasoning abilities. When he was preaching and going for morning cry, he had made every other person in the world look stupid, and he was the only one right. Now he feels he has seen the light, every other person who is not in his fold is now foolish and only him right. Tomorrow he comes to tell us the ATR needs to be modified to suit his belief/understanding.

Bro, do whatever you want in peace and stop feeling like an alpha. Some people can give their lives in believing that miracles or juju are real because they have first hand experience. You have freedom of worship. Going to tell a church to refund your money seems to me to be stupid, you should have just left them quietly. When spirituality hits you now, you come and start bleating like a goat.

You simply went seeking for miracles and money doubling without studying your bible yourself. You know that as many as are the sons of God are led by the Holy Spirit. You were never a believer. Imagine leaving catholic for Living Faith 'just to go and confirm if the miracles were real'. You confirmed it was fake and then you went to another church to also confirm, and then started paying tithe there. You are weak-minded and very gullible.

I had seen this headliner on so many platforms and I was pissed off. Everyone has been going on and on about the Senate and leaving out the HOR.
I just spoke with my friend who is a member of the green chamber this evening and he said "iBanking I won't lie to you I really didn't pay attention" i was on fire with him for about 45mins.
I am currently in the UK but my sons and majority of my investments are there in the country. I have friends who are in high profile positions in this economy and I am disappointed in many of them, Fela Duro is expected to do the needful in so many areas, he is silent.
Many calling me APC this and that and insulting me don't understand my stand.
I made my first personal N12m at the age of 19 ( No be my papa monie). I am not hungry.
I just want a system where who ever where ever would be hold accountable.
My friend from way back is a state APC chairman,you have no idea how much I grill him when we speak
All the policies the government have activated are legit but we needed a background check.
I am majored in the oil and gas ,for me this is drilling without modludging

You have a point there, but I am of the opinion you should allow others air their own opinions and not curse them out because they are condemning 10% of the evil instead of 100%. Because obviously, you do not know and speak to 100% of the issues. Looking at the padding matter, it is not only a sin of the law makers, the executive is part of it, and the judiciary is, too. But the ruffled feathers came from the senate, and that is why everybody is calling out the senate. Let's forge a common front and fight, each according to the information he has.

Exousiang01:
No I want the entire National Assembly held accountable.
Not just the Senate.
You cannot exempt the House of Rep, they are partners in the crime

Then you shouldn't have used the negative tone you used on that poster. You should have just started a movement to bring the entire NA to book, and not to call others 'daft' for calling out senate. It's like when you find a criminal politician committing crime and call him out, another comes to hush you and tell you you must call out all politicians else don't even dare. All hands should be on deck to bring down the opressors.

[quote author=Exousiang01 post=128939856]The budget was approved at a joint session of the national assembly no the Senate.
It's so bad now that a Nigerian youth doesn't know the process of approving a budget?
You dont know it's not the Senate but the National Assembly?
The level of ignorance displayed by Nigerian youths is alarming.

So whatever process it is, and whoever does the approving, does it understate the fact that 193m was approved for 1 borehole? So you want us to leave the matter and start debating about who actually does the approval? Chai! This generation killing Nigeria. I hope you sleep well after this kind of shameful outing.

One is still 'sharping' mouth. This disgrace is not enough

Was this attack in a christian-dominated location? I want to know if this has any form of 'religious' under-tone.

You guys should keep deceiving yourselves. Nigerian govt knows the problem of the country, but they cannot get it right because it will not favour them. We only need a selfless leader to fix Nigeria, Obasanjo was 100% correct.

Honestly if my wife does this I will relocate immediately, I will start my plans once the signs are there. Many Nigerian women are tired of being treated as Nigerian women and they will do terrible things once the tables are turned.

kwaso2:
I wish many married women are like your wife, marital separation will be low, men addiction to different habits like alcohol, tobacco, womanizing, gambling, etc will reduce, untimely death of men and risk factors will greatly reduce.

God bless your wife, man. Also pray for her, she also need ur prayers.

Best

You are absolutely correct.

I met someone who told me this story.
" I left Nigeria about 4 years ago. i am born-again. People around feared I'll cheat on my wife, I also feared for myself. But before I left I did something crazy. I went to the altar in church, in front of every church member, and made a fresh vow to God that He should take my life if I sleep with another woman while separated from my wife. Hmn. When I arrived, it was ok for the first few months. but as time went by, I started lusting and fantasizing over and about oyibo women.

Three years later, I found myself watching porn and masturbating because my wife also became so busy that we don't have deep conversations sometimes when I desired that. I got so deep into masturbation that I discovered a second porn site. I knew it has become a problem unto me. I started praying about it. But each time I find myself having the urge and going back to it. Mind you, my wife had trusted me more than I trusted myself. I felt it could lead to a betrayal someday and so I decided to take a different action - to expose the sin.

In September 2023 I decided to open up to my wife. I told my wife about my struggles and the efforts I had made to stop to no avail. Told her how I planned to place a firewall against the porn sites on my computer. She smiled and said I shouldn't worry that everything will be fine. By January, I suddenly noticed I had not masturbated, and i had not visited the porn site for a long time. I can't remember exactly the last time I did that. It felt strange I could do without it.

Then it struck me that it didn't seem ordinary. I called my wife up and asked her if she did anything after I spoke to her about my struggles last time. It was then she told me yes, she went to the altar in the church to pray and that was all. I had goose pimples all over me. It was magical. Till today, my libido has been put in check. Prayer really works."

Many Nigerian men and women think a married man cannot stay faithful, that is a big lie.

Winterhaven:
Men love cheating on their wives, but they go crazy when their wives cheat on them. They don't know karma is a bitch

Keep quiet there. Do they pin another woman's child on their wife?

I don't want to talk sir, but you enabled this government.

The word I kept seeing in this post is 'oversimplify'

kilisi:
Good day friends and trust we are coping with the current state of things

I plan to resign from my current job by the end of February 2024 so that I can go into full time agriculture. That's my discipline from school anyway.

I've been able to raise just 1 million naira within a year and 2 months and the plan is to plant cassava and maize on a 12 acre farmland I'm about to secure.

6k per acre of land

I also plan to use about an acre for planting pepper and tomatoes.

I hope I'm not making a hasty decision by resigning from my job soon.

Abeg where you buy the 6k per acre? I am interested.

SaintUlot:
Outlined below are the 11 reasons why you must make sure you Japa from Nigeria:

1. For a bright future for you and your family, Japa is the only option you have. Future in Nigeria is looking bleak and cloudy at the moment, Japa now when you can.

2. If you want to live a quality life, give sound education to your kids, have access to comprehensive health care and top-notch life security, Nigeria cannot offer you all these, you can only have access to all these when you Japa

3. I am yet to see anybody that Japa from Nigeria and still remain poor. Poverty is only in Nigeria, once you leave Nigeria, you have bid farewell to Poverty for life. Confirm from all the people that have Japa, all of them are living in prosperity as i type this.

4. Immediately you leave Nigeria, all life and spiritual problems are over, that's why you see that when many people japa from Nigeria, they don't go to church and mosque again, simply because they have no reason to. The Government in their new country of residence have provided everything they needed, so no need to disturb God again. Life problems and Spiritual problems are only in Nigeria, they can't be found elsewhere.

5. Prosperity in Nigeria is by luck, not by hardwork, but elsewhere apart from Nigeria, if you are hardworking, you will surely reap the fruit of your hard work.

6. To Japa from Nigeria can be likened to going to paradise, As a Nigerian, Japa to us is our own paradise on earth, wouldn't you like to go to paradise?

7. Japa is what is Trending now, wouldn't you want to be a part of the new trend? Or you prefer to die inside trenches?

8. All your mates have all Japa, if you don't Japa like your mates too, Automatically you will be labelled a failure. Look around, how many of your school mates and childhood friends are still in Nigeria? All of them have all left and they are all enjoying themselves in their new country of residence.

9. Living anywhere else apart from Nigeria is better. Yes, you heard me right, When you are ready to Japa, ignore all those people saying "do your due diligence" doing due diligence is asking for too much. Anywhere you land yourself, even with your N500,000 savings, is a better place to live than Nigeria.

10. I don't think we still have up to 5 million people left in Nigeria, everybody don japa, do you want to be the only person left in Nigeria when the remaining people Japa?

11. When you Japa from Nigeria, you have Automatically add 30 years to your lifespan, mortality rate is high in Nigeria for obvious reasons, but elsewhere apart from Nigeria, life expectancy is very high.

Nos 1,2,4,5 and 11 on point. 100%
Funny how people who don't have opportunity yet to japa will talk down and say all sorts of negative things about japa. Give them the opportunity tomorrow, they will jumping at it and their song will change immediately.
