Wainey: They should give Wike minister for flyovers. That man weh hate Ipob, he will just build flyover from Aba to Abuja for easy transportation of Ipob to DSS facilities
luminouz: Lol...she just described igbo men. Even mentioned Chukwuemeka ... Seems men from that region are the biggest simps of Nigeria. Train women in school, actively cultivate laziness in women by equating love with money and gifts.
I agree that many men from other regions of Nigeria also simp with this mentality. They even prefer to suffer in silence and smile while providing for women who give no fuqs about them. Tell them of the redpill and they will term you broke and curse you yet they keep crying online about heartbreaks from women.
I have never used money to woo any woman and will not, yet I have dated some gorgeous women in my life. Men forget that most women will collect your money but never love you because attraction can't be bought.
This message is for a simp on NL who thinks paying his gf rent, school fees and allowances are signs of 'care' while neglecting his own life. Some even borrow app loans to shop for their girlfriends. Take the redpill today or Perish!!!

Samantha124: Truth is growing up I was afraid of Nigerians because I only heard bad stories about them... I never wanted to come across a Nigerian.. .. I only started getting exposed to them in varsity.
Even now I'd hear some bad things that most of the Nigerian men do here in SA... Sure, not all of them do it bad things, but it sounds like majority of them do... And apparently some of them would also use SA ladies for rituals.
And sure, there's crime in SA committed by SA men, but I'd rather stick to the thungs I'm already familiar with than those that I don't know, not that I'm saying most SA men are thugs... But I can relate more with SA men.
There's also a major cultural difference... So I don't think you guys are my cup of tea... I can't imagine myself in the kitchen cooking your native food..
My family also have this dislike for Nigerian men, that's why I'm here on nairaland to learn about you guys.
Happy now?
Really? So you are using Us(Nigerian men) for your Social sciences qualitative and quantitative analysis?😂
Iboyx: Hi guys, So I'll keep this as short as possible hoping to get your advice.
So I landed a software engineer role in one of the most popular fintechs in Africa, a remote role and it pays about 200k for a start.
I also have a fully funded scholarship to the UK(biological sciences) with stipends of about 900£ monthly but you must come back to Ng if at the end of the programme you do not already have a job.
I know that all things being equal in the software job in a couple of years say 3 years I should be able to triple that amount, I know guys that have done similar.
The risk of going to the UK is being stranded at the end of the programme. Worst part is the msc is not in the I.T industry. I know guys that have picked up second msc degrees cause of no job and they don't want to come back
I'm very passionate about the IT industry, I literally thought my self
What do you guys advice.ooking forward to your input. Thank you
ecolime: Would have advised you to go for the Biological sciences programme, but what's the point in travelling out for Masters and be back home to square one?
Take the software engineer role, develop capacity and you will be in a better position to get better international jobs soonest.

WannaHowzit: It is but their still the mature voice especially during Ramaphosa's tenure. During Zuma's time they were very anti-white to hide from their failures and the massive corruption.
After Thabo Mbeki's tenure, successive Governments have failed to live up to expectation. I salute Mbeki, he learnt from the best - The Great Madiba.
ayandee: SA would be worse than Nigeria. At least, Nigerians love to work. I mean we love industry. The majority of black south Africans especially the men, love to live by the day. Once they are paid salaries, they disappear from work and return only when they become broke.
seunayantokun: This is a result of reconciliation without restitution - the healing process was not completed after apartheid. They failed to realise greediness and selfishness would certainly elicit an unwanted response which is violent confrontation. Hatred has been created in South Africa, so both white and black leaders of the country are duty-bound to make things right.
They can still dialogue and make peace. Remember Hutu and Tutsi of Rwanda, today Rwanda is peaceful and developing.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) leader John Steenhuisen has announced that the party (which is the 2nd biggest in SA after the ruling ANC) will file charges against EFF (3rd biggest party) leader Julius Malema and the ANC with the United Nations Human Rights Council.
This comes after Malema chanted the controversial "Kill the boer, kill the farmer" during the EFF's 10th anniversary celebrations at the FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Speaking on the party's YouTube channel, Steenhuisen said he was also going to approach Parliament's ethics committee, as well as seeking legal advice on approaching the Public Protector, or going to court.
He accused accused Malema of inciting civil war. He also alleged that the ANC had failed to reprimand its "protégé" Malema.

Jatuski: 31st July 2023 President of the Senate, Federal Republic of Nigeria National Assembly Complex, Three Arms zone, PMB 141, FCT Abuja.
Sir,
A PETITION AGAINST THE NOMINATION OF H.E MAL. NASIRU EL- RUFAI BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU FOR SENATE CONFIRMATION AS A MINISTER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
Mr. President sir, following your unveiling of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's ministerial nominee's to the Senate on Thursday July 27 2023.
We write on behalf of the Southern Kaduna Youth and Students Forum (SKYSFOM) to draw the attention of the 10th Senate on why one of the ministerial nominee, Mal. Nasiru El-Rufai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna State should not be confirmed by the Senate to serve as a minister in the Federal Republic of Nigeria or the President Tinubu government.
Mr. President sir, being aware of the nomination list of persons before the Senate for confirmation as ministers, concerned for the fragile nature of the nation with regards to our stability as a nation, and concerned about the uprising among citizens we find it highly necessary to make this petition against the nomination of Mallam Nasiru El'rufai, the immidiate former Governor of Kaduna State who we understand is a nominee among others.
We are a group of people whose interest is in promoting peace, unity and progress of Nigeria, our interest is bordering on the fact that at this moment, the nation need to be very deliberate and careful in selecting her leaders.
Mallam Nasiru El'rufai has over the years conducted himself as a divisive leader who does not have the interest of the stability of Nigeria at heart, his disposition to building a peaceful and united Nigeria is zero. He remains a very controversial character in the Nigerian polity whose utterances and actions have stared alot of negative energy in time past and even recently.
It is no longer news again, that H.E Mal. Nasiru El-Rufai is a Ethno-Religious bigot, particularly against the people of Southern Kaduna. Such a character should not be given another opportunity to serve Nigeria in any capacity, particularly our Nigeria of today.
Characters like El-Rufai are capable of dividing, disuniting and setting Nigeria on fire like he did in Kaduna State, where religious intolerance, distrust among citizens is now the order of the day. At this particularly point in our history as a nation.
Nigeria is in dire need of leaders who will demonstrate and promote Compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, justice, fairness and unity not the reverse.
The immediate past governor of Kaduna State should not be given consideration because he will do more harm to Nigeria than good.
You could recalled that few months ago, El-Rufai become a national discus, following his inflammatory and inciteful comments in a viral video against the Christian population in Kaduna State, while justifying his same faith ticket legacy. Southern Kaduna is populated by Christians, so therefore El-Rufai’s inciteful comments on that video are directed to the Southern Kaduna people.
During his eight years of rulership and tyranny, many lives and properties where lost in southern Kaduna to persistent attacks without remorse from the El-Rufai's government rather inciteful, hateful and disrespectful statements against our elders and the Southern Kaduna people entirely. His inflammatory statements captured on that viral video alone should propel the Senate not to confirm his nomination because like in Kaduna State, he will surely repeat same at National level which will not be healthy to us as a Nation.
The Nigeria youths may not be patient with, or tolerate El-Rufai’s religious intolerance, extrimism, incitement and inflammatory statements like the Southern Kaduna Youth and her people did. Kaduna state is yet to recover from El-Rufai’s religious bigotry, extremism and intolerance legacies, Nigeria should not be his next victim.
The Senate should assess the performance of Mallam Nasiru El'rufai as Governor of our dear Kaduna State, his administration was characterized by sectionalism and all divisive tendencies. He was that one governor who was interested in talking how in his ironic perception which religion has higher population than which, a governor who will tell a higher percentage of citizens of his state that their votes don't matter, a governor who was antagonistic to any individual, association, group, community or organization that is critical about his administration, a governor who was reckless with words and careless about the feeling or opinion of his citizens of all social and political Status.
In most recent times, the same El'rufai in a viral video released a rather unnecessary controversial issue published around where-in, he tried to justify his promotion of same faith ticket in Kaduna State and Nigeria, forgetting that there are people who worked and voted for such ticket but doesn't practices the same religion with the candidates on the said ticket. . A key thing of concern there is not the fact that El’rufai is tuning Nigeria to get divided along religious lines but that he it is deliberate and willfully intended and finds pleasure and justification in that. This is unhealthy for Nigeria.
Senate should note that Nasiru Ahmed El'rufai has proven to be unable to sustain loyalty and faithfulness to anyone or the nation in all the leadership roles that he has been trusted with, he clearly has no respect for the rule of law, any institution (including the National Assembly), anybody (including the President) as he respects only his ego and prioritise his interest above all.
Distinguish members of this great 10th Assembly, Nigerians holds you in great esteem, alot is expected of you to put right all that is wrong with our political system, Nigerians see you as the agents of a new positive beginning. For this we call on you to be critical in your screening of all nominees. But more particularly, we strongly advise against the endorsement of Nasiru El'rufai as a Minister of the Federal Republic.
Against these background we make the following prayers:
1. The 10th Senate must distinct herself as a senate that is concerned about the stability of these nation by ensuring that only leaders that are true patriots and has concern for the good of Nigeria get endorsed.
2. The National Assembly should ensure all Nominees before her are critically screened, paying keen interest to there past positions, track record as leaders and the activities that characterized their political history.
3. Keep to mind that Nigerians whose voice you are, are watching closely.
4. Ensure that divisive persons like Mallam Nasiru Ahmed El'rufai are never given a place in the next cabinet for the sake of the nation's stability.
5. Prioritise the good of Nigeria over everything else in this screening process.
We are calling on the Senate to disqualify Mal. Nasiru El-Rufai nomination and should not be confirmed as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because he is unfit to serve Nigeria at this material time due to his track record of religious intolerance, extremism and disrespect for the rule of law.
Ignoring our call and that of other patriotic Nigerians who are after the unity, progress and development of our dear Nation Nigeria, will speak ill of the 10th Senate. We most sincerely appreciate this opportunity to attend to our petition and reiterate our high hope in the 10th Assembly to be the agent of the New Nigeria that we so long looked to have.
Mr. President sir, thank you in anticipation of your swift actions.
God bless the 10th Assembly God bless Nigeria.
Kind regards.
Shedrack Danladi National president Southern kaduna Youth and Students Forum. (SKYSFOM)

El-Rufai should bow his head in shame I expected this petition by southern kaduna people.
Time has gone when women rely on men to take care of them and their children.
We go to the same school, graduate at the same time and got employed in the same offices and fields. Most of us are better placed than our husbands hence why must there be this dichotomy on who takes care of the family?
Is like most people especially women intend to go to the grave with their money. Spend the money on the family including on your husband and make sure the children are better placed than the parents.
gidyambi: Sorry baby, Dr. Maryam Shetty, your people are not civilize and socialize. They called you all manner of names just because you choose to live free life. You can reconnect with Usain Bolt and continue rendering the Physiotherapic services you were offering to him.
Maryam is a beautiful lady. So did she do that they rejected her?
Gerrard59: I want to see his response regarding learning Swedish, as it is easier learning Spanish as a native English speaker compared to Nordic languages. If he left Brazil for Sweden because of the crime rate, that would be a fair decision. But being in Brazil is better than the UAE, especially if the person learns Portuguese before moving. Free education at world standards and ease of settling down compared to Germany - more than a year before visa interview. Bulgaria is denying Nigerians visas. It is not easy to get Czech Republic student visa from Nigeria. Poland nko? People pay bribes just to be interviewed! Germany was not popular then until the UK scrapped PSW in 2012. Suddenly, people became interested in Germany, Norway and Estonia. Today, only Germany still has free education, but to get visa from Nigeria na war. Portuguese and Spanish are easier to grasp than German. Estonia has changed her immigration laws. Even after spending money to be interviewed at the embassy in Egypt, since the UAE no go issue tourist visas, people still get denied. Norway, which I applied to then, has scrapped free tuition and tightened immigration laws. It takes NINE years to get Danish citizenship. Switzerland is a no-go area due to their ab initio immigration laws. People don learn German at Gothe Institute sotey yet cannot get student visa interview dates. These are actual complaints, and yet when we suggest good alternatives, online witches and wizards attempt to dissuade people.
Ultimately, we are laser-focused on the economic opportunities and ease of being a naturalised citizen. No one should spend his/her youth toiling outside Nigeria, excluding places like Singapore and Switzerland, earning pittances yet have no hope of being a naturalised citizen. If you noticed, he moved to Sweden, not South Africa or Swaziland or Senegal. These are the demons we fight every day in this section.

Gerrard59: I said maybe, just because that is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa that is better off than Nigeria. I don't consider North African countries to be "African". They don't see us as Africans, and I respect that. I am not related in any way to an Egyptian or Moroccan. Here in Japan, if I am walking and I see a black person, whether from Brazil or Guyana, we can easily relate. A Tunisian will not greet me or give me the black nod. So, why should they be seen as Africans? Asians consider every black person to be an African until the passport is shown. They see Moroccans and others as Arabs, and rightfully so.
I am not saying you are ignorant. I am saying Brazil is better off than almost every black African country except maybe South Africa strictly on the availability of jobs, economic opportunities and strength of the passport. The passport gives stability and options, especially as one gets older.
My problem is the lies. These people lie too much and brazenly at that on a public forum. I don't like dishonest people. Philippines is not worth it. It is ignorance that makes Nigerians see every white person as oyibo. It is better to spend money migrating to Brazil than most Asian countries except South Korea and Japan. China is for those with well-established business interests. India is a no no for young Africans looking for jobs. Singapore is too elite. Most importantly, it is pointless moving to a place where people spend their youth for a pittance and no assurance of getting a stronger passport. Singapore offers high salaries but no assurance of getting the passport. So better Brazil for someone who is not a top candidate. Better Peru than the UAE for a semi-skilled or unskilled person. Better Argentina than most countries in black Africa. People have to be strategic and pragmatic rather than dogmatic.
Western countries including Australia and New Zealand are great, but the routes are either too expensive, stringent and/or getting more complicated. In 2018, getting a visa to Poland was very fast. Today, it is almost impossible. In 2015, people entered Germany for studies immediately they could secure block accounts and admission. Today, they have to wait for more than a year before being called upon for an interview - not a guarantee the visa would be issued. That same period would have been used to learn Portuguese or Spanish and move to South America.
I do agree that for most black Africans having relocated at an adult age, home is fresh in their minds. But we are talking of economics here. If the economies in black Africa were pretty OK and jobs were available, people would not relocate. Chileans have an open door to the US labour market, yet they are not interested because Chile is OK. No African country enjoys that. Getting a date for a non-immigrant visa at the US embassy in Lagos takes almost a year.
Argentina? but they don't like blacks na? Elucidate about Scholarship opportunities in Peru for Postgraduate study
tensazangetsu20: God has finally done it for me . 3 years worth of work came to fruition and I was able to japa to Chile . Sharing some pics from my trip and my everyday life on this thread. This is for those who think that south america is hell. Theres a lot of amazing countries in the world. You need to research and figure out what works for you. My flight was from Lagos to doha to Brazil and then finally to Chile. I didn't really start taking any pics until I got into Chile. I am sure you can find thousands of pictures about Brazil, Qatar or Lagos online but hardly anyone has posted anything about Chile.
The first pic is me In the plane crossing the Andes mountains. The light in the distance is the city of santiago.
Second is the airport in concepcion.
Third is my Uber ride from the airport to my Airbnb
Congratulations I thought you travelled to Brazil but anyway, Chile is cool.
In the beginning of the song he said in his lyrics,
"No matter the weight of an ELEPHANT it can never cause earthquake".
Pocohantas can relate
"Sample Ekwe"by that warri guy, Stereoman was a hit back in 2005. Remember "Sensiman" and "E dey pain me ooo" about the warri crisis?
I believe Pocohantas was a Music fan of the trybesmen,Plantashun Boyz, Tony Tetuila, Shasha P, Azadus, et al back then. Pocohantas, You listened to the aforementioned back then?
